[Q] Major texting problems! - AT&T LG G2

Alright, so I'll start from the beginning here. I started with CloudyStock ROM (basically the stock LG ROM with some added stuff). Then I went to Cyanogenmod and my data went away. Everything else worked but just my data didn't work at all. So I restored from my backup only to realize that now my texting is gone. I can receive texts and make and receive calls, I just can't send texts. SO..I tried a new ROM after that. I installed Mahdi only to get the same results. No texting. I do delete the data and everything I'm supposed to when installing ROMs also. So when that didn't work, today I used the LG Flash Tool to restore to factory firmware. I thought for sure this would fix the problem but nope. Still no texting. At this point I'm wondering if it's hardware failure but I'm still doubting somewhat because if I'm correct, it's the same chip in the phone that sends texts and receives. Anyway, please someone help me out! Thanks in advance!

I called AT&T and they fixed the problem. It was all their fault.

So I've sort of put up with some minor issues since AT&T fixed my problem. I still can't text from the hangouts app. Only the stock app will send texts. I tried installing a custom ROM again and there was absolutely no texting so I returned to stock again. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong?

Problems with MMS

I can't get MMS to work at all. Can't send or receive with ANY app. I just says HiddenSenderAddress and fails to download when receiving and does NOTHING when trying to send them. The ones I receive that can't be opened if I try to delete them it crashes the app, no matter what app I'm using. So weird. I wish I knew what was wrong. I'm using Weapon G2x with Faux123 Kernel but I can't imagine that would have anything to do with it because no matter what messaging app it fails.
Anyone else having this or resolved this?
Did you just flash the rom and this happens, or have you used the rom for a while and this just started to happen, all of a sudden?

There were reports of problems with MMS using Weapons. He had a download for the Stock MMS to correct the problems.

Too answer both questions I've had it flashed about a month but didn't get any MMS in that time, just SMS. I did flash the stock MMS and still a no go.
Just use a different rom.

Which baseband are you using? If you're not using the July baseband, I'd suggest upgrading to it. Just search for July baseband and you should find instructions. If you're already on that baseband, try updating your RIL with the GetRIL app from the play store. If none of that works, try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery, then fixing permissions.
I have the new baseband and have tried numerous wipes and fixing permissions and also the getril from market. Has anyone one fixed this with a new sim card I have read if you can find an old style card things work better in the g2x?
Are you using WIFI at the time or mobile data? I have issue with MMS using wifi. Everyhting works as expected when using mobile data.
I can receive messages with wifi calling on and that is the only time I can get them on wifi or mobile data nothing
Hey I'm having this same problem. Has anyone else been able to solve this? From what I've seen, it seems that the OP and I are the only ones with this problem
I tried tons of other things and never got it to work correctly I ended up exchanging phone under warranty for 5 bucks and with the new unit had none of the problems that I was having with the old one so in my opinion it is a hardware issue that you can not fix with out changing out phone I ran across a few others that ended up changing out phone. The only thing I can recommend is somewhere I saw a thread where some people had flashed a experimental rom and lost the ability to text and they had to use some kind of at commands to the modem to get it back in the right mode you should be able to find it if you search the fourm

I was able to find this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19794570&postcount=9
but I'm a little confused because he says that he "saved" the settings or something after he clicked refresh, but I don't see any option to save. any time i leave that menu and go back to it, the numbers are gone again.
it has been my experience that even with completely stock, unrooted builds, MMS picture messaging does not work with wifi. even in jacksonville, fl and new orleans, la (both 4g markets), that while on wifi, if you receive a picture message and attempt to download it, the phone will connect to the 4g mobile data service to download it. it happened on both my g2 and my g2x. i want to say that with wifi calling turned on you can download picture messages, but im not entirely sure.

[Q] SMS receiving issue

Alright, I know this issue has come up over and over again with random G2x's. We know that it must be a hardware issue. I spent a good deal of time tonight working on my brothers phone, I figured with the V21y baseband and the new EB with support for v21y, it just might work. I am hoping someone will read this and have some incite.
Restored phone to 2.3.3 with baseband v21e.
(sms functions)
Upgraded using the LG support tool to 2.3.4 baseband V21y.
(sms functions)
installed latest EB ICS 4.04 nightly for v21y
(sms unable to receive)
installed Buru 2.3.4 v21y (Stock, debloted, rooted v21y)
(sms unable to receive)
reverted to 2.3.3 v21e (bare stock)
(sms functions)
upgraded again to 2.3.4 v21y using the LG support tool.
(sms functions)
at this point I decided to make a backup nandroid, hoping I would save some type of file difference that perhaps a dev could figure out. This is what is weird, before I took the nandroid I did a privacy wipe through the menu system. I than let the phone boot up, shut it down. did the nandroid bu, and than reboot. I was than UNABLE TO RECEIVE SMS's! Just to verify, I reverted back to 2.33 v21e, tested sms again, it works. I than re-upgraded to v21y, again sms worked. Again I factory reset through gb's privacy reset option, and again the sms's fail to receive. What type of personal data could possibly cause sms to function?
Did you double check your APN settings?
I probably should have mentioned this is not the only G2x I have used. I currently use the same phone, and have three other friends using them as well. They are all on ICS, and all have no SMS issues. I did check the settings against mine, and they are the same. I also tried swaping out the sims to make sure that it was not the issue. This is one of the "odd ball" phones that has some type of hardware difference. It seems no one has worked out this issue. If you read through the Dev section, under every ROM you will find random posts of people with this exact issue. These posts always end with people going back to stock, or giving up. Again the phone worked on stock 2.3.4 v21y, before a factory reset..... I don't get it.

I have the same issue, but I'm on Wind in Canada.
I've tried multiple things to try and fix this and none of them has worked consistently. Only thing I haven't really tried is flashing a non v21y baseband, because I could not find the kdz files.
Whenever I use the LG tool and flash the v21y update, sms works.
After that, when I go to a custom ROM (I check with getril), sms stops working after a while, usually after I use Titanium Backup to restore my app and their data.
I gave up and decided to stick with the stock T-Mobile gingerbread, sms worked until I restored my apps with Titanium Backup. I did not restore any system data, just my apps, but I did freeze a few system apps. I read somewhere that wifi-calling needs to be enabled, so I left that on.
The ROMS I've tried include Hellfire (Phoenix and Sandwich), EaglesBlood, CM7.2.
Anyway, I've decided to try again with the LG tool and look at the logcats to see if I can identify the issue. Any updates would be appreciated.
Same issue here, but I _can_ receive SMS when using Wifi. I am using EaglesBlood 4.0.4 (ICS), with v21y baseband. As soon as I turn Wifi off, I no longer get texts. However, I can send them just fine.
Had no issues when on v21e and CM 7.1.
Tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24872502&postcount=83, but perhaps that is not meant for the v21y baseband; it didn't help me.
I will keep trying things. I may end up back on a rooted stock or trying to downgrade baseband. Will report back my findings. <sigh> Wanted to get the fast GPS lock with v21y but if this SMS problem is baseband-related it's not worth it...

Thanks for that fix link. I'll try that with my v21y baseband before trying to install any of the other kdz files I downloaded.

Well, flashed the 2.3.4 stock ROM for 21y from TGA_Gunnman, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 - still have the problem. As soon as I turn on Wifi, I receive the texts.
For me there is another correlation - whenever I try to send an sms, my data signal (4g icon in the status bar) goes away. It takes around 30 secs or so to come back.
I got a new SIM card yesterday. I was talking to a T-Mobile rep about my wife's phone which is having a separate issue, and the rep said that our SIM cards were "2g" (that's what it sounded like). They told me to go to a store and they would mark to give me new SIMs for free.
Funny thing is, I had it in the stock ROM still, and when it booted back up in the store, I got the SMS from T-Mobile right away. I then sent myself a text from my wife's phone, and got it right away. All while on 4G, not Wifi.
When I got home, I restored EaglesBlood ICS but nothing changed (SMS still only received on Wifi calling). Going to try stock again, but will have to wait a couple days...
I tried putting my SIM card in my non smart phone and it works for sending and receiving. Just that, usually I get the test messages that I had sent too, but not now. So it is not sending either, I guess.
---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------
I restored v21e using the kdz tool. No test messages came back on T-Mobile, so I restored stock Wind rom with the intention of taking it back.
I tried sending test messages and after about ten minutes, I started receiving them. I tried this on wifi and 3g, both work. Does not work with data and wifi off.
Any clues?

Update : I stopped receiving them after a reboot. This is getting more and more puzzling.
I restored stock T_Mobile and they started working around 15 mins after restoring. Then, I rebooted and it stopped receiving, for a while.
I also installed CM7.2 and while it could send sms, it could not receive. I have pasted the radio logcats here - http://pastebin.com/u/baseband
I hope someone knows from reading these what exactly is going on.

Thanks for that, I have installed the APN backup.
I don't think that's the whole problem because I have this issue even when I am connected to the network.
Update: today I tried messing with the APN settings within EaglesBlood 4.0.4. I used APNs for T-mobile from the database here: http://www.osimood.com/2012/05/news-apn-database/ . However, they did not help, and with the second one (with the proxies) I could not use the browser over regular data (not wifi).
With the default APN, I could usually get SMS with Wifi Calling on. (But not all of my tests would come through...)
So, I restored the stock ROM for 2.3.4 for BB v21y from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274. I still couldn't get any SMS messages over 4g, unlike before with my experience of getting one at the Tmo store after getting my new sim card. Wifi Calling didn't seem to help this time either, after leaving it on for about 20 minutes.
I then decided to call Tmo tech support, and after the intial rep passed me off to a support tech finally, he walked me through these steps:
(Obviously I was on a clean system, so I told him I had done a master reset or full erase. I also mentioned to him that I ran the LG software update tool on my computer with my phone connected, which I had found and that I understood it was to upgrade the "baseband." I told him I hoped I hadn't screwed anything up, but that's when the problem started happening.)
1. Clear out all texts from the inbox (I only had a couple ones that I had sent from the phone).
2. Go to Apps -> Messaging -> Clear data
3. Go home, power off phone.
4. At this point, he said he took the phone off the network / refreshed the connection.
5. Booted back up after a few seconds.
6. Sent a test SMS to my own 10-digit number with 1 in front.
7. Got it, and then the other tests from today started pouring in!
Let me also mention that my voicemail indicator was on in the stock ROM ever since my new SIM. I called VM, but no messages; yet the indicator stayed on. Told him about this, and he said the indicator appears (and I would guess disappears) by the network sending me a silent text message, so it makes sense that it wouldn't go away before. After the steps above, the indicator went away within a few minutes.
I sent a couple more tests, and got them right away. So, I think I am going to stick on this stock ROM... I may have to root it to get TitaniumBackup installed so I can restore all my apps, but fingers crossed that it still works after that! I'm too scared to restore EB or try CM 7.2 with the new BB, but they might work (of course, no bluetooth! separate issue). Oh well, enough hours wasted messing with a stinking phone.
The rep also mentioned it's a good idea to turn off the phone once a day, and leave it off for a few seconds, then power on. This apparently refreshed the connection with the towers -- if you are idle for a long time then they start ignoring you. Weird, but anyway, rebooting never hurt anyone.
Best of luck.

Rooted using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214. SMS still works!
I'll try this as a last resort before going back to v11h baseband and taking the phone to WIND.
Update1: On stock wind ROM, clearing messages data works. Does not seem to work on CM7.2
Update2: Still have problems on stock ROM, even after clearing message data and rebooting every once in a while. Messages are delayed and fail sometimes.
Tried the APN restoring, but that did not consistently work either.
Has the APN issue been fixed ? I searched around, but the various fixes proposed don't work for me.

[Q] Problems receiving calls and sms on CM12 nightly

Hey guys,
So I'm experiencing issues receiving calls and SMS on my OPO ever since I flashed a CM12 nightly in early February. I don't know for sure that CM12 is the issue because I can't find anyone that has a similar problem, but since the problem didn't start until after the initial clean install of CM12, I'd say this is a good place to start.
I'm currently running CM 12-20150223-NIGHTLY-bacon and have not changed anything else (kernal, xposed, etc...). I use AT&T and am located in the US.
SMS Problem: First off, I use Hangouts as my SMS application. Sometimes I will go hours without receiving any text messages, only to have a dozen of them all come flooding in at once. Usually this is prompted by me sending myself an SMS. I also occasionally have trouble downloading group MMS.
Call Problem: About 80% of the time, calls do not come through to me. My wife tells me the phone rings twice and then goes to voicemail. I do not receive any notifications of missed calls but if the caller leaves a voice mail, then I do get notified of that most of the time.
Does anyone know if this is strictly a CM12 nightly issue, or is something else going on? If the answer is just a full wipe and clean install of another ROM I'm ok with that, just wanted to get opinions from the community before I proceed.
Thanks in advance!
I am having the same issue with SMS. I am running the 20150225 nightly.
Bump.
Still having this problem. Is the only way to fix it to go back to KitKat?
You have described my exact problem to a T. Any updates on this issue? I am thinking about going back to CM11. Every nightly I update in hopes that it resolves this issue but it hasn't yet.

No fix that I've found yet. Here is another thread on the issue that has seen more interaction than mine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/cm12-delayed-messages-missed-calls-t3049583
Have you come across any fix yet?
Yesterday there were several updates related to mms..if you still use cm12...then install cynadelta app select last bacon zip. Then click on refresh, it will check the latest bacon file and update only incremental data..means you dont have to download entire rom. Saves your time and data package.
Once you see all the components are working.. Take backup using twrp and keep it in USB.. Incase you need to restore.

Hi! I har the same problem after updating to cm12. I solved it by go to settings/ mobile network/ preffered network and chose 3g. That worked for me. Much longer batterylife too.
Setting connection to 3g is not a solution, but a workaround. For those of use who actually use LTE/4G, that's not really an option.
I have this same issue, but I'm using Carbon ROM. So it would appear it is a CM-based issue that has carried over.
Edit: I was just in contact with my carrier Tele2, and this is a known issue with 4G/LTE systems. If you have this issue, contact your carrier, and they can likely help you sort it out.

Not receiving SMS after installing rom

Recently flashed modem and bootloader, and installed xtrestolite rom. I've tried clearing cache and rebooting. Texts are not coming through from certain people. Last time I got texts from them it was an hour after they sent them, but had none since. I wonder if its to do with the timestamp fixes on the rom, is there a way to revert it, there used to be a setting in messenger but I can no longer see it.
