having same issue with all ROMs

was wondering after I flash a ROM i am never able to use email or send / recieve
MMS...does anyone know any solutions for this? I am thinking I need to change my network settings.

You might be right! Which ROM are you using? Where are you from? Who is your carrier?

right now I am using PDAUltimate - from North Eastern US - carrier = AT&T

see if this solves your problem ...

that allowed me to send mms...however still no go on receiving MMS or Email.
This is very unfortunate for me, as I receive work emails on my tilt..any other help would be GREATLY appreciated.

did u use connection setup?
use connection setup to automatically configure ur connection settings (internet and mms)...it doesnt come with every rom so ppl tend to forget it....

nevermind..played around with settings..had to switch to MyIsp / MEdia Net
Thanks for your help guys

Unable to send Text SMS with Data on - Samsung Gio - Android

I have a Samsung Galaxy Gio on the Telus network. The phone is rooted and unlocked. (was originally with Bell)
I am unable to send text sms messages with Data Packets (aka Data) ON.
IF I turn Data Packets (Data) OFF I can send no problem, as well as when I put WIFI on (Which also deactivates Data)
When I attempt to send it simply says "FAILED"
Things I have tried:
I have contacted my service provider, they have tried to trace my failed SMS messages and cannot see them on their side.
I have tried changing and re-entering the SMSC #.
Performed a factory reset
Reflashed factory ROM
Placed a Rogers SIM in the phone and was able to send without issue
Placed a Bell SIM in the phone and was able to send without issue
Placed my SIM in 3 other phones (Google Phone, BB Bold, Iphone 3GS) and was able to send without issue
Tried Apps - GO SMS PRO and Handcent
It seems that there is a compatibility problem with Samsung GIO and the Telus network.
All other features work flawlessly, I can receive texts and surf without issue.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Found a person on another forum with the same phone from the Bell network unlocked, working on Telus with both DATA and OUTGOING SMS Text messages.
So I know its not all Samsung Gio phones that are effected.
So either my phone has a unique glitch or the network where I am isn't acting the same way.
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

Did you ever consider that your SIM card could have a problem?

Tried my SIM card in other phones and works fine, can send texts with data on.
Does that rule out the SIM card or could the sim card be defective only in certain types of phones?

Any other ideas on why Data would effectively block SMS Text messages from leaving the phone?

Are you certain you have sufficient signal?
Is it definately SMS and not MMS your trying to send?
Might be worth checking your APN settings.

Had you checked your message settings in your phone? Had you checked whether the service number in your phone is proper or not? It will be also an default if you don't enter proper messaging center number, it could be also an reason that your messages are to be shown failed.

I am certain I have sufficient signal. After receving a "FAILED TO SEND" while DATA is ON I can turn data off and click and hold on the message and hit RESEND and the message sends fine.
Definately SMS - MMS works fine.
I have checked APN settings.
What I did notice about the APN settings is that Telus incorporates both data and MMS into 1 APN. My friend on Rogers has 2 separate APN settings for MMS and Data however I don't see how that would affect anything.

Yes I have auto-updated the Service #, manually inputted it in both decimal and hexidecimal, and changed to a backup service # that Telus provided for me.
Still unable to send.

I am having the same issue. I have this phone with a Telus SIM. Help!

Same problem Sasktel
Same problem with text message on sasktel with gio
no solution yet
help

I did not test this myself. (I have data of cose i have no internet for my phone) But sometime my phone wont send a sms. It keeps waiting. And i see the signal is gone. After i restart the phone the message is sms send and my signal is back.

Firware issue
I work for a tele communications company and we are seeing an increase of this situation for the gio as of Monday on our networks. It is the firmware that is preventing the phone from sending the messages. The problem has been flaged and submitted to samsung/android. They would have to perform an upgrade to the software on the devices.
Not all phones are affected the easiest way to check if your phone may have this issue is to check the plan on the phone. Under settings in about phone, bottom of the page, if you get GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 than it will be this issue.
This is not a network related issue but firmware. It may be an inconvienence to swith data off and on but sit tight and wait for an update. Hopefully Samsung/Android find a solution soon.

Not receiving sms while roaming

Anyone else have the problem of not being able to receive text messages while roaming? I'm in an area where I am constantly switching back and forth between not-roaming and roaming and I only seem to get texts when I am on T-mobile's towers. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks

Did you select in messaging app settings to receive messages while roaming?

Yes I did. Isn't that only for mms and not SMS though? The only roaming setting is under the mms section

Yes, as far as I know, it's only for MMS, because you are supposed to receive SMS anytime when you have a network.
1- Did you flash a new rom recently? If so, I'd suggest you to reflash the rom and try again.
2- You could try to go under your carrier settings and choose manually your carrier.
3- If it doesn't work, contact your carrier's technical support to see if it could be something that is disabled in your account regarding roaming.

I have flashed most of the roms for this phone and it seems to do it regardless of the rom. What are the carrier settings that you are talking about?

Under Wireless & network settings > Mobile network settings > Network operators. You could try to play with these settings (mobile network settings) to see if it works one way or another. Now, if you tried several roms and it still doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem or a network problem (T-Mobile). I would try to fix it with the settings first, and if the problem persists, call tech support.

Ok, I have played with those settings. I just wasn't sure which ones you were talking about originally. The kicker is I'm in an area (Orono, ME) where I am constantly switching between T-mobile and USA Unicel (roaming) and if I set those Network Operator settings to just T-mobile then I get service in certain areas and then nothing in others. I guess I'll just have to try customer support unless someone can come up with another possible solution.

SCH I535 w/Straight Talk no calling or outgoing texts

I got my ST SIM activated yesterday and LTE connected without having to make any APN changes.
I can receive incoming text messages. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail, and I receive a notification for them but cannot retrieve.
Outgoing calls /messages result in 'no mobile network' error, including dialpad codes.
Have had six different sessions with Straight Talk, whose solution, depending upon the CSR, has been to change the APN, restart phone/pull sim/battery, factory reset, wait for activation, etc.
At one point, Verizon Wireless briefly appeared as the carrier but LTE stopped working.
Any suggestions? I have done all of the above, along with installing several different ROMS, restoring earlier backups, etc.
I have searched and found a lot of posts regarding issues with data, but can't find anything relating to my particular issue.
I am currently on CM13 Nightlies. The phone is not under contract and I have used it with other BYOP carriers with no issues.
Thanks!

I was helping someone else out with that recently. I found that both on CM12 and CM13 it doesn't give you the option to change the APN settings.

I am actually able to change the APN settings by selecting the APN, editing it, and saving it from the menu pull-down. In a few of the ROMS I tried, I needed to put in the updated APN of TRACFONE.VZWENTP. (I laugh every time I type it.. VZ went P heh)
Anyway, in some ROMS it works with the assigned APN and in others I have to put in the updated one for LTE to work. The APN is for internet and MMS, both of which are working at the moment. I need to figure out how to get calls and outbound SMS working.

Yes, I just got the Straight Talk SIM and network code and activated it a few days ago. I looked for the apps but could only find one for account management and auto-APN settings.
I was using a prepaid T-Mobile sim in this phone prior, and had to use an older modem to get data (only got edge since it's GSM on a CDMA phone) working. I am currently installing a newer modem to see if that will help.

Yeah that's the one I saw. I installed it just in case, but it only changes the APN settings, which I have already tried. Thanks though!

How To Guide Xiaomi and Verizon

The followong devices have been tested on Verizon in the US:
Xiaomi 11T
Xiaomi 12 global version
Xiaomi 12X global
Working:
5G
VoLTE
SMS both sending and recieving
Phone calls both sending and recieveing
IMPORTANT:
MMS on stock Global/China ROM wont work on anything other then Verizon messages
Verizon Messages - Apps on Google Play
Stay connected using Verizon Messages on your Smartphone, tablet, and PC
play.google.com
Please install and set as the default sms app.
However MMS does not work on mobile data only wi-fi. Luckily there is a way!
Getting MMS on data:
So this gets complicated. The xiaomi phones come with the wrong APN settings. So what needs to be done is copying the APN settings of a known good rooted android.
1. Copy the telephony.db off the good verizon phone
2. Install signal spy on the xiaomi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novvia.fispy
3. Once thats done find out what the verizon carriee id is, it should be a next to verizon, ie. Verizon(######)
4. Now pull the xiaomi telephony.db off the device
5. Install https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ on a computer
6. Open up the dbs
7. Now delete in the xiaomi dbs all entries ror LTE - Verizon, delete the rows dont NULL it.
8. Almost done
9. Now in both dbs search carrier: Verizon and numeric: ######
10. From the known good db copy everything except the _id column.
11. Past the data into the xiaomi table from row 0
12. Now delete whatever rows were NOT altered.
13. Now both tables should have the same exact verizon settings except for the _id column
14. Push the telephony.db back onto the xiaomi
15. Reboot
16. Open the dialer
17. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
18. Click phone info1
19. Set prefered network type
20. Select the second to last option NR/LTE/TDCDMA....
21. Turn the radio off and on
22. Reboot
23. Open settings and select the VZWINTERNET as the APN (thank you bjs339)
24. ???
25. Profit
The xiaomi can be unrooted and the telephony.db will survive a reboot and a sim removal.
One thing of note, you may need to enable roaming and 5g for the phone to register properly.
RESETTING APN OR RESETING NETWORK WILL ERASE THIS TABLE.
Other apps will now work for text mms, but will be limited to downloads of 30kbs, uploads are unaffected.

Let me know if you need help or have any questions.
I am so sorry for my terrible spelling.

One thing to add, I couldn't send or receive group text messages with iPhone users until I set the APN. I had to actually go into the settings and select VZWINTERNET. This is on the 12x global.

Interesting, did you have to change any of the other settings or did just selecting the APN fix it for you? Also are you able to recieve mms on data only? Thank you.

Selecting it was all I did. In fact, the other settings are locked down. I think I can get mms on data or wifi if that's what you're asking. And I could message with individual iPhone users prior to making the change, just not groups.

Very odd, yeah I messed with it for hours but had to actually root the phone and adjust the APN settings to get it to work. Hmmm, maybe we have different. Ooooh, are you on the 5G plan? I'm the LTE plan.

I will try that, my other idea is your phone is magic and does not abid by the rules the rest of us follow.

Strangely it didnt work, there was a split second it did but then no. Maybe it's regional
