message from network.

i recently upgraded the rom on my wizard and now when i switch it on i get a "message from network" notification telling me what area code to use for where i am.
This morning i kept getting the message every 10 seconds until i switched flight mode on and then off.
Is there a registry setting to turn off this annoying, unwelcomed addition.
Thanx

I'm meeting this problem either...Can't find a way to fix it...

these are cell broadcast messages.
Some networks have them, most don't.
You can switch off receiving these messages via Phone / options / More / Broadcast Channels.
Sometimes when you switch on the phone you might such a message anyway.

@edsub
No,that option has been switched off yet.Thanks anyway.
Hmmm,must be something within the ROM.I just replaced all the shortcut in startup folder,no good.The message is really annoying...

I have a new Prophet (Jamin) and I'm getting the same annoying message mostly when I do a soft reset. The other day it started giving these stupid messages again and again every few seconds. There were at least 10 network messages in a row. I have gone to phone settings and sent the settings to the network in every category. Now it seems to only happen when I soft reset...sometimes.

I flashed new I-mate ROM.This issue has gone.I've been with Qtek,O2,I-mate and T-Mob.Seems only T-Mob Rom makes this trouble...

How to disable GPRS failure notifications?

If the phone was connected to GPRS, and GPRS service became unavailable for a reason, the phone displayes a notification saying that it failed to connect to the access point etc., and this notification is displayed permanently, until I close it manually. The bad thing is that it looks like while this notification is visible, the system does not run other notifications... in particular, alarms do not work.
Is there a way to stop bothering me with such a notification?
For a while I see no other way but to manually disconnect from GPRS before going to sleep...

anybody got a solution to this problem, as it this keeps appearing on mine when using Tomtom trafiic, it covers virtually the whole screen, making it very annoying. There must be a way of turning it off.
if anyone can help please let me know.
Thanks

no one was ever able to help me with this for the 8125 either. I hope someone solves it on the 8525 though. because i'll be getting mine on tuesday

This is my dream to stop this as well...
But I can't find a fix anywhere

sms with delay

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan

i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.

Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.

I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.

Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted

This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

3G - G - E - what does it mean? aka cant get sms from other country

for some days now my phone is acting weird.
The sign in the corner for example saying "3G" sometimes changes into a G or E, what does that mean? which stands for what?
i think that causes my main problem: i cant recieve sms and sometimes calls from another country. calls sometimes work but sms- no chance.
Why does this happen and what can I do to fix this problem?

it stuck to "E" now and still no sms recieved.
i checked some settings and i switched GSM to GPRS somewhere but still the same

Hello Qabooz,
The signs mean 3G= you are connectted to UMTS line, G= you are GSM line, E= Edge line.
It changes when the power of signal change.
Can be possible that your line have international limitations?
regards

i was always able to recieve sms well until these signs started to change. since then i just wont get them. but if the signs represent the networks/operators "strength" it makes sense. since the sms comes from another coutry, with a lower signal strength of my phone it doesnt reach me.
ok this might cause the problem but how can i fix this`?
but thx for explanation of the signs

one of the several reasons.
The SMS is not dependent on the signal strength, be it at G, 3G, E or H. It's dependant on how fast the SMS server of each operator can despatch it to the user. Sometimes the SMS gets stuck in the sending operator's (of different network of different country) server.

but why did it change then all of a sudden when it was ok all the time

B29 Update Bugs

Since I updated to B29 I have noticed some serious cellular connectivity issues. While browsing the web I simply get no response. I have to toggle on/off the data switch in order to fix the connection, despite the phone showing 4G LTE and 3 or more bars on T-Mobile. Even accessing the Google Play Store I get a message the following message: "No Internet connection. Make sure Wi-Fi or cellular data is turned on, then try again", despite showing 4G LTE and 3 bars on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the same bug? If so, has anyone found legit a fix? Or perhaps there is another bug you are experiencing. Please share with us in the forums.
Thank you for your time.

I haven't experienced any network issues since I updated. Granted, I didn't have problems with internet on B27 either. Which provider do you have? Did you fully wipe data when updating?
The only bug I've experienced is that sometimes apps don't stay in memory and have to be restarted everytime I switch back. A restart fixes the issue though

No issues on B29 with Verizon here.

No issues here on AT&T stock B29

Same here on att no issues.

I am on AT&T and wonder if others are having issue with going inside a building where the signal is weak and getting a "no signal" message? On the ZTE USA web site it has been pretty much nailed down to the radio hanging on to a weak LTE signal and dropping it instead of automatically switching over to 4G or 3G like it's supposed to do. I have had this issue from the day one, before B27 and B29. Hopefully ZTE will get the bug worked out soon.

My suggestion , before you blame the update is to call t-mobile and ask. They often have problems with towers, being hacked,etc and will not say anything unless asked.

I'm having issues with audio level dropping randomly. Happens when watching YouTube or listening to Apple music.

Some apps that could do background audio playback won't do it anymore in b29 for me, and the Facebook app closes when the screen goes off. Signal and all else seems to be the same for me.

I solved this issue with me a LONG time ago by turning off VoLTE. Did you try that?

I don't want to 'blame'the update, but ever since, whenever I minimize an app and then re-open it, it loads all over again. Webpage login again, games reload from beginning. I'm probably just missing something,...and it has nothing to do with update. Maybe I toggled something by accident,... Any ideas?

I got my new 2017u yesterday (iam german) and the first iam really impressed about the LTE/4G receiving but the 4G indicator seems to be buggy because it shows me allways 4G but in real i have only 3G/H. When i have real 4G/LTE it shows 4G and under that LTE.
I have my rooted so is it possible to change that, that it shows the real receiving instead of allways 4G?

Look here

HSPA+ in US is marked as 4G. I don't know how to change it with root, if you find a way post it!

thanx for clearing, dont know the difference. Hope that someone find a way to change that, but iam not the person, have not enough know how for that

Horizontal notifications are still unusable. How does something this simple still not fixed? Granted I hardly ever hold my phone horizontal but when I do and pull down the notification bar, I'm reminded how shoddy this software can be.

This is because ZTE chose a very high DPI setting for the phone making everything huge. I changed mine to 480 a while ago and everything is much smaller and landscape mode is a lot better. Granted there are still some graphical glitches here and there because of that change, but overall I'll take them. Hopefully when Nougat comes out they will ditch their in house quick toggles for stock ones and keep the new DPI slider so people can change it properly.
