Hey guys I hope you could provide some guidance to me with my problem. Here's the thing i made a mistake on switching with X carrier which still has a not so stable of a network. Often times my phone goes to roaming even though im still on a network coverage area which in turn causes charges to my account when I send message or call someone and use my data. Now what I do when that happens is (on a samsung phone) go to [Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Operators>Select Automatically] which fixes the problem sometimes. Is there a way to automate this process with tasker so that whenever my phone's signal state goes to roaming it does the thing above^
Im new when it comes to tasker so I dont really have any idea if this could be done so advice and tips are greatly appreaciated.
Hello all,
I flashed my girlfriend's Sprint S5 with Lineage OS recently without a hitch, all services working perfectly. We ended up traveling, so she went to Sprint to set up a temporary international roaming plan. Everything was completely as expected abroad. When we got back, her phone would not send SMS messages.
We tried the usual airplane mode and such, and to no avail. Assuming something was wrong with the network configuration from travelling, we reset network settings. Didn't work. I then decided to just do a full wipe and re-flash of Lineage OS. Still doesn't work. I then resorted to going back to the stock TouchWiz ROM from Sprint. At that point, under the stock ROM, SMS were sending. Out of curiosity, we flashed back Lineage OS, and SMS will again not send. We noticed that if the SIM card is removed, SMS will send, but the phone would not be able to access 4G LTE. We also confirmed with Sprint that there are no restrictions on the account.
What could be causing this to occur only on custom Roms? Do we need to do a PRL update? If so, how does that work on stock Android?
Thanks in advance!
S5 sprint No outbound sms
I've had this problem for weeks....So far the only solution is using Google voice app....
I'm using LOS 7.1.1 20170207 kltespr nightly, LTE SMS can only receive, sending doesn't work. Only 3G SMS works.
Things I noticed:
Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI Information. When on 3G, all information is displayed here, when on LTE, only IMEI and IMEI SV is displayed, there's no PRL/MIN/MEID/ICCID anywhere, not even disabled or greyed out, just hidden completely.
ICCID also shows DUMMY_NV_ICC_SERIAL instead of the actual ICCID.
Same experience for me, I've been trying to find a workaround for over a month with no success. Alternative text messaging apps seem to work, but I don't trust 3rd parties with my SMS.
Unable to send SMS

Which third party SMS app are you getting to work? Besides Google voice I have had no luck with any third party app?
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Resurrection ROM which is based on Lineage. Since update I can't send SMS at all other than via Google Voice. I can receive SMS and I can send/receive MMS.
I did find that if I change to 3g only for my network settings, I can send SMS. But then of course I don't get LTE data speeds for everything else. So the issue for me at least is tied specifically to LTE. Wondering if there is an APN or other setting I can change that would fix this but so far no luck finding anything.
Bug reported since 01/28
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-37
I've run into the same problem or similar. If I set my preferred network type to GLOBAL then I can send and receive SMS/MMS messages but I'm forced to either Roaming LTE or 3G. It's often stuck in 3G after a drive for any distance. If I force it to LTE, then SMS/MMS stops working and I can't place or receive calls either but the network will show up as LTE and Sprint.
To get there from Settings Home -> More (under Wireless and Networks) -> Cellular networks -> Preferred network type -> Choose Global.
Sometimes I can force it back to LTE but roaming if I switch temporarily to LTE then once it connects switch back to Global. Occasionally I have to put it in airplane mode to get the radios to reset and connect but some combo of switching network type and ending up in global and switching into and back from airplane will do the trick.
YMMV of course.
one way I fix it temporarily is to:
cell networks - carrier settings, let it crash
go in again and let it find your carrier
once connected, make a phone call at least to get it ringing
I can then make sms mms.
it's a rediculous work around but it works for me every time
SMS Sending Problem with Lineage 14.1 (31.07.2017)
Heyy
I'm not able to send sms from SIM 1 but can send sms from SIM 2 in Lenovo A6020a46 (2GB) on Lineage 14.1 (31.07.2017).
The same SIM is working good in another roms and Calling + Internet are working properly.
After dialing *#*#4636#*#* in Phone Information - SMSC Refresh then it appeared "Phone no.", 456 and I pressed Update.
But there was no process for saving or updating. Then I reentered in Phone Information but SMSC Shows blank.
What to do??? anybody help in this matter will be immensely appreciated.

I made this file using Odin with the steps from here. I flashed the file, set the connection to LTE aand it worked. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71582847&postcount=5908
To fix this issue with having LTE signal and sending SMS at the same time you have to open EnginneringMode app (or *#*#3646663#*#*) and check 'Sms over Sgs support' in Misc Feature Config tab.
Doesn't work because nothing comes up entering the code. Any idea?

If that code doesn't work for you, try to find an app called Engineering Mode MTK. Unfortunately I cannot attach any screenshots yet (I got less than 10 posts).
fix
there is an option in network settings (enhanced 4G LTE mode for comunications etc) i disabled that option and messaging works fine now. before unchecking this option i could only send sms only with phone on 3g mode, now it works fine. i think this option is for hd voice calls via 4g lte.
I see this is an old problem and I´m having the same problem. I can receive SMS, but I can´t send.
But to add to that, I couldn´t connect at all with my previous carrier and changed carrier after which I can use data, call and send SMS. I still can´t receive SMS.
Hey Guys,
Suddenly this evening my phone stopped placing calls. "Mobile Network is unavailable is the message I get as dialing begins.
I have went through network reset, updated PRL, and profile successfully. It says Boost Mobile in top left corner, and Signal indicator at top right shows LTE.
In Settings/About Phone/Network It says Boost Mobile. Mobile network state is connected and I have an IP address.
In 4G settings IT lists Network Operator as "n.boost.ispsn" and shows IP address.
The APN names are Sprint/Boost related.
Boost support reviewed my info/settings and verified all is set correctly, and that my account is paid in full in good standing and nothing is stopping me from calling on their end.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be my SIM card? Does anyone know how to run any diags that might be appropriate? Boost Zone has been replaced so I do not even have those options now. Any hidden menus I might access to shed some light on my issue?
Boost support says its hardware related and gave me the number to device support, but before I spend a couple hours on the phone or something worse I'm hoping maybe someone here has some insight.
I know some must be thinking why don;'t I call the hardware support guys? Well guys I just don't want to do it right before Christmas. I'm broke spending on others as I'm sure you all are no different. I just don't want to hear Ha, Ha you have to buy a new phone if you want to have a phone right before Christmas.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and reading this topic to begin with.
Happy Holidays to everyone. Hope it is a great one for you.
Does*anyone know how to get rid of the Vodafone WiFi calling notification? It appears at the top of notification bar and also on my lock screen, when I have poor signal and it connects to WiFi calling mode. I can only mute it for 2 hours at a time. In the notification settings it comes under "IMS service" which is a system app that it is*greyed out so can't be switched off. I never had any notifications when WiFi*calling*was connected with O2 but I do since changing to the N20 and my new carrier Vodafone. I find this irritating.
Did you ever find any joy with this problem?
I'm having the same issue on my Z Fold 2, I've just switched provider to Vodafone from Three and the IMS Service/WiFi calling notification is unable to be disabled.
It must be Vodafone related as I used WiFi calling on three and never had this issue!
No it's still there! I've just got used to it now
Hey,
I'm having the same problem too. As far as I can tell this seems to be an issue unique to Vodafone users - indeed in the Vodafone's network options menu, the ability to turn off these notifications is greyed out. Same sim card into a friend's phone = same problem. My friend's O2 sim card or another friend's EE sim in my phone = no problem. I've raised this with Vodafone repeatedly and the consistent response from their technical support team has been that a) this isn't a problem that has been raised before; b) that it's something that needs to be fixed across the whole network's standard SIM functionality and they can only do that for widespread issues. Both of these answers are entirely untrue. I keep raising it and I've now formally complained about it.
In the meantime, I use an app called BuzzKill, which although isn't free and for me isn't always 100% effective at muting the Vodafone WiFi Calling notifications, it certainly catches most of them so the £2ish was well worth it. Easy set up too (and no, I don't work for them ).
I found out by enter info then enable wifi calling then disable it goes away.
Hi
I'm having a strange problem with my new A51, with two SIM cards in it.
After an indeterminate time the phone disconnects from cellular network.
It still shows on to the both cards the signal strength, but the phone no longer receives calls or has internet access throw cellular network.
And if I call any of the SIM card numbers from another phone, I get a network message saying the phone is disconnected.
All other functions on the phone seams to be ok. Turning wifi on and off has no effect in reconnecting to the cellular network.
But... If I try to call from A51 to any other number, the phone reregisters on cell network, the call is done and from that point on, all goes to normal. I can receive calls again and access the internet using the cellular network...
I went to the store were I bought it, and the gave me another one, but with the exact same problem.
So I believe is not a hardware problem.
I believe now that It could be a SIM problem, on one or both SIMS, which is odd
A software problem on A51 the need's to be patched, which is odd because it has effect on the most basic feature of the phone, which is receiving calls...
A strange behavior of the phone with my cellular service provider, which is odd too...
I'm trying now with only one SIM to see if the problems happens too...
Can any one suggest any other test or debug to try to clarify this issue ?
Thanks
