Hey everyone,
I have this weird issue with failed text messages whenever I go snowboarding. I have full bars but it sometimestakes multiple tries to get a text message to go through. Does anyone know why?
Does text messaging only work for certain frequencies?
I have a Bell Mobility i9000 with 2.2 Hamster Rom.
thanks everyone!
I've noticed ever since 2.2 that sometimes it takes 2 tries to send a text. It fails at first, then sends successfully when I click Re-Send.
I've been getting this but its a netowrk operator issue.
I spent the weekend in melbourne at the australian open, sending text to friends during the boring match ...
and I have never been able to sent a text without trying 2,3 and sometimes 10 times
I had also a full signal, able to go on the web ...
This is starting to look like a more common issue than I thought it would be. Please also state what Android version you are running and your network carrier
It happens to me infrequently. Make sure you have 850 - thats the main culprit. I'd also flash a Bell modem. I use JL2 with 2.2.1.

Is 850mhz the minimum required for text messaging? How do I check for this?
Bell really sucks in some areas. I live in a newer area and my texts fail quite frequently when I'm home. Anywhere else, it'll send it fine.
I'm running Darky's 9.0 rom, speedmod K12q-T4 and JL2 modem.

Wierd thing is, I get full signal and the text are failing, what gives?
I ported my phone over from bell to rogers and this happens to me as well. I'm using one of doc rambones roms. How do I check us I have the 850 band?

I've had this happening since day 1, I've had it happen on 2 versions of 2.1 and 2 versions of 2.2, I'm on Bell.
It won't be an 850 band problem, I'm on the stock rom and that's all it uses really.
I'm finding my data connection drops out when I still have 2 or sometimes even 3 bars. At the same time that happens I can't send text messages although phone calls generally work regardless. I never had these issues with my old Samsung I7500 which ran on the same network.
Bell, Darkys 9.2, JL2 Modem
(Modem is set to WCDMA Only) 850 and 1900, 850 is confirmed working.
The messages will only fail to send when you're on 850. That's a fact, I've tested it many times. There was a point in time where, in certain areas texts and calls would not go through unless I disabled 850

Bell as well BTW.

Happens to me as well quite often.
Bell unlocked on Rogers.
Bone stock no roms, no lagfix..only started happening after 2.2
I get failed texts sent, and I also get multiple texts received, sometimes up to 4 of the same. Anyone else get that?
This started happening to me out of the blue about 5 days ago. However, my phone would tell me that it didnt send but the recepient actually gets it and each subsequent text when I retry to send it even tho it keeps telling me it didnt get sent...
Probably more annoying for the person im texting but its a bit of a pita on my end too.
Stock froyo 2.2
I'm on Bell and I get random failed texts (sending) and occasionally I receive the same texts twice. That and if I get a long text that ends up getting split into two, I sometimes get part 2 ahead of part 1.
This happened on Eclair, stock FroYo, custom FroYo rom, rooted and non rooted.
Oh yea, happens using Handcent and the stock messaging app.
Hey so this is happening to my SGS and my friends SGS were on bell with stock firmware, Does ANYONE have any suggestions its really ruining the phones for us as its super annoying, Thanks

I have a Mogul running DCD 3.1.2 with sprint as my carrier. Has anyone had any problems with text messages being delayed? Scenario: I'll send out a few text messages to a few friend, and I might not get their messages until 30 minutes later and they will all be at once. This has happened on other roms so I know its not a rom issue, and the friends are on different carriers so I don't think its a carrier specific issue. The only thing I can figure out is its a Windows Mobile issue or sprint issue. Any ideas? If this is a duplicate thread, please just send me a PM to a previous thread and delete this one.
Sprint issue, try switching it to roaming then sending and receiving, it should be much faster. Try sending a text to yourself under roaming, you will notice how instant it is
keepinitgangsta,
Works like a charm in roaming. Thanks for the help. Has anybody heard when sprint might possibly fix this issue?
I had a similar issue a while back. Called sprint tech support - They re-provisioned my account (whatever that means) and that seemed to help the issue, so you may want to give that a shot.
I am having the complete opposite problem while in roaming. I have contacted sprint and got them to reprovision everything. Something happened when the official HTC rom update came out(3.35) it knocked me off the roaming list when I was back up and running. Ever since that day I cannot receive texts in roaming. I can send just fine and I continue to receive messages but they are all repeats of the first message I get when entering roaming. I got the report from verizon (the tower I'm using) and it says 97% success rate on messages sent and received. I'm going to the store to ***** but its 20 miles away and lost the battery back in a drunken stuper the other evening.
I have done hard resets and also flashed and flashed and flashed the rom with different versions and none have changed the issue. I have yet to be able to revert back to any 2.0 versions of the rom like when I got it. It says device cannot be used or something like that. I have the official roms from HTC not cooked.
This all sucks because sprints map says 100% full coverage and EVDO at my address and I just the tower image or one tiny bar and it usually drops. So I am forced to roam all the time at home.
Hi, i was using CM7 for a week, then suddenly, the mobile network begin to be freaky, cant stay on a network, cant make call and anything, I already cheked the apn settings and everything..
also switched to wcdma prefferred, to gsm only, or to wcdma sometime got signal, but after 1 or 2 minutes, cant connect to a network...
anyone can help please..
I'm having this as well ever since the update.
Gingerbread is half-baked if you ask me.
it seems to make and receive calls only in EDGE (in GSM ONLY mode), but when i change it to preferred wcdma or to wcdma only to get 3G, sometime get full signal but cant make any calls and also cant use data and sometimes got no service.. only in EDGE mode..
all this happen after using CM7 for a week... anyone please help..
baseband and radio are 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08...
I also restore it to stock to FROYO FRF33 and the same issue, dont know what cause it..
I'm not sure it is fully related to gingerbread. I'm still using CM6 and had this issue on and off for about 3 days. It seems to have cleared up for me (knock on wood)

yess im having the same problem, i also noticed it after flashing to either honeycomb alpha or the new gingerbread update [i did both within an hour] but i cant fix this problem...:/
still cant connect to 3G, only in EDGE mode...
cant connect to a 3G network, already changed the radio to 5.08, 5.12 and downgrade it to 4.06 and nothing...
anyone know this issue??
if I cant solve it, I might gonna sell my Nexus One..,
Network issues have nothing to do with the phone, if they're constant with different ROMs. Check with your service provider.

is not the service provider, I change the sim card to another phone, and the 3G works flawless.
Also, put another sim of other carries with the same band, changed the APN settings, and it's the same problem with 3G, only work on 2G...
In that case, 2 options:
1) Wipe and check again.
If still doesn't work -
2) Hardware failure. Use the warranty.
I've been recently (1-2 months) battling with Data problems also and I don't know what the issue is. I know it isn't my Carrier because I just spent the whole month on the phone with them and they actually sent a Guy TO MY HOUSE to test the connection. I've never had problems before until around CM7 and me switching plans (which is what I thought it was).
My problem is that it works, but data just stops and doesn't want to reconnect. I have to toggle Airplane mode or reset to jump start it. I think changing towers while driving might do this too.
I've done the same tests. Changed Sim, Swapped Sims, etc. EDGE seems to be stable for me but 3G is wonky. I've flashed a PASSIMG and started from scratch that way back to root and CM7. I've downgraded my HBoot and reupgraded it. I've wiped and changed radio versions.
Right now I plan to swap to a few other Gingerbread roms and see if that fixes it. My N1 being my only internet connection it is hard to download other custom roms but I grabbed a few from work and put on my SD card.
I'm not blaming CM7 but at this point I'm really thinking about changing phones.
Ive read that there are issues with the Nexus One gps. Is this true and if so, what issues have you experienced?
PS. GPS doesnt have anything to do with the carrier does it?
well... my nexus already have 1 year, I'll sell it in a very cheap price, and buy the INSPIRE 4G and root it...
thx for your help guys..
I have a Rogers/Fido/Telus Nexus S. I tried a bunch of ROM's, CM7, ASOP, NSColab, Honycomb port. And then I realized that my 3G stopped working. I'm only getting Edge. My baseband version says "NO DGSXXXKB1", in the bootloader, carrier info says ATT. Any ideas?
do I need to re-flash the GRI40 radio again?
Same problem here. Initially all was working fine, then I tried to play with 2G/3G settings in Power Widget (CM7) since then, I am only able to get Edge connection.
I reset, changed firmwares, went back to my original Nandroid backup, no help.
I was also getting the Roaming Icon indicator on Fido's network, even though I purchased the Fido branded Nexus-S...
Tried changing Radio, KB1 and KB3, still no go.
I have owned Nexus One, Desire, Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy-S and Nexus-S
Never had issues except with Samsung phones!
Anyway, relocked NAND and this phone is going back.
Same. I was ASOP and the 2G was enable by default. I changed it to 3G and never saw 3G again. I thought swapping radios would do it, apparently not. Really weird. I guess I'm returning mine as well. Hopefully Future Shop will not snoop around too much.
Do you think odin would work?

The version of the phone changed to GRI40 which if I'm not mistaken is the T-mobile one. Which would explain everything. I hope one of the devs could help us out.
APN missing?
I have the same problem guys. After flashing CM7, I can only get edge connection. Whenever I turn on 3G from the toggle, a "H" sign will appear,but no internet at all! Wtf. Hope there is a solution for this. Back on stock nexus s (slcd i9023) for now

i just read somewhere else that after flashing the wcdma setting in *#*#4636#*#* got set to the wrong option. so type that and go change it back to wcdma preferred, or your preference.

Never hit the 2G/3G button. Its broken, been broken and doesnt work as of yet. Just dont hit it.
Had the same problem. For some reason it was on the wrong band (if that's possible). in the *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, menu, select radio-band, USA, and fixed!
Still getting no 3G/H on my CM7. I even tried the *#*#4636 method, still no go. However I can surf the browser to sites like google, facebook etc. But whenever I want to sync my google acc, I will get a network error. Wtf? One thing that I noticed is that, my signal bars won't "light up" (but I can surf the net). Another thing, after flashing to CM7, my build number changed to GRI40 instead of GRI54 in the settings on stock. Maybe that is the problem?

Put this into your dial pad: *#*#4636#*#*
Then hit Phone Information
Then hit the menu button and select radio band, the select corresponding Country.
USA will fix our issues.
I found a dirty workaround for this problem. Turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. Worked for me.
Same issue for me on the Nexus One. 3G icon is there when phone is idle. As soon as I try to do anything data-related (ie. browser) it switched to an H.
Tried setting to USA, no dice. APN is internet.com
crap I guess no root for my nexus S until this canadian carrier thing is resolved...
I thought i would throw in my experiance
I bought a Nexus S from Telus, and i am using it with a Sasktel Sim on Bell/Sasktel network (live in sask but have a national account from Bell) and on stock, i could never get H.....only the 3g would show up. But that was short lived because i flashed CM7 on it and the H now appears and works perfectly fine
So i dunno if its a Rogers frequency thing/problem, but the phone works great on HSPA on Bell/Sasktel
Cheers
Since the last two or three updates within CM builds, I cannot receive MMS from my friend on the sprint network, I am on Tmobile.
I simply receive the message with an attachment that cannot be downloaded. every time I click the download button it tries to retrieve the file and fails
I can receive MMS from myself and it hasn't solved the problem
the apns seem like they have had no direct changes, is something to do with my friends phone more likely or is there a cause for this? tomorrow I will try to have someone on tmobile send me an mms to see if results are different.
need some kind of answer!!! preeeezee
recently gathered info leads me to the suggestion that it is 2.3.4 itself causing this issue, as there is a whole new box called "APN Protocol" in our APN edit menu. Haven't ascertained if there is an actual fix besides downgrading to an older build.
I am having this same exact problem. I know you haven't gotten and answer and it's been a while since you posted on this topic but i didn't want to get yelled at to "use the search feature"
no one seems to have the answer. i get mms from my sister (blackberry) and mom on Verizon. (my mom doesn't even have a smart phone) but my girlfriend with her blackberry on sprint wont come through. It shows the "download" button and it fails every time i click on it.
I haven't tried iphone users yet but seems the problem is carrier specific with my phone not playing nice with others.
I am running the latest cm7 nightly build on mytouch 3g slide from t-mobile. And using the stock message app to send and receive.
(please don't tell me to use handcent or anything of the sort, i'd like an answer to THIS problem, not just a work around)
please someone help!??
Did you try changing the User Agent in the messaging app settings and seeing if it helped?
yeah, actually tried them all. I believe thats only for sending mms so the receiving phone thinks its coming form another type of device. as far as receiving mms, no luck man
on 2.3.4 ive narrowed it down to I cannot receive MMS messages from iPhones on att or verizon. Anyone else who sends me one I am able to download.
Going back to rom in my signature
hmmm, interesting cause i can verify i get from Verizon but not Sprint. And we both have t-mobile, as far as i can see
Just wish the problem was more uniform so that it would be easier to narrow down the problem
im having the same problem with SIMPLE Mobile. it seems i can send to myself and recieve from ALL GSM carriers but CDMA carriers IE. sprint, verizon, metro pcs, do not work i can click download button till im blue in the face and they wont download...any ideas??
I fixed it, or rather it fixed itself. I backed up angry birds data (the only data that matters, otherwise my girlfriend yells at me that she has to start all over AGAIN lol) using titanium. I did a full wipe, data, davlik and cache. Then installed (at the time) the latest nightly, cm7 nightly 78. Automagically fixed, at least the people I tested (including my girlfriends, which was the initial problem) restored angry birds data and donezo. Tell me if it works for you.
Hey everyone,
Had the Galaxy S2 since Saturday, unlocked the device, everything was working great. Out of no where, yesterday the phone still shows the H+ logo and full signal, yet i cannot send, receive text messages, initiate a data connection or make/receive phone calls.
In order to get all that ability back, you either have to 1) reboot the device, or 2) turn airplane mode on then off.
This only works for roughly 10 minutes before it all happens all over again.
I tried swithing to WCDMA only, but issue still persists, even tried some menu codes I found on another thread to disable H+ but the same thing happens.
This is currently happening on the bell shipped rom with no root or anything of the sort.
Has anyone experienced this?
I've searched for hours but can only really find complaints of data connection loss only. In my case it's everything. Data / SMS / Cell
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I feel your pain, even though I have an XEU unlocked GS2, I've updated it with every update from kies hoping the issue would resolve.
Even with the latest KF3 update the issue persisted, however the phone could be used on Rogers with no issues, on Telus data drops constantly.
Disabling fast dormancy didn't do much to help.
However since updating the phone to KG3 2.3.4 yesterday I have not had the issue happen again. For the first time since I got the phone it no longer drops the data connection on Telus.

Thanks for the quick response. Was it only your data that disconnected, or everything else?
Also, may you please link me to the update? I suppose I could use that as a last ditch effort before exchanging the device before its too late.
My issue has changed over the past couple months, originally the phone would report that it dropped the network and when it came back data wouldn't work until airplane off then on or a reboot.
Lately things seemed fine with occasional data drops until yesterday, when it had full signal but I couldn't use data, sms or make a call. It was basically a paper weight until I updated it. The link to the file which has everything you need to update from samfirmware.com is below.

*edit - I'd make sure you have a back-up of your current firmware in case you need to flash back and return the phone.
I have the exact same problem. Bought a bell gs2 unlocked it and now with telus. My data dropped constantly and now I'm using the newest litening rom and now it only drops maybe once or twice a day so a huge improvement

If it's any consolation, I ran my Virgin SIM over the weekend (just to burn up the data I had to buy for a 1 month) and the same thing happened on stock firmware.
In my case, it would put me in "emergency calls only" mode, saying I wasn't authorized for the network (i.e. it wasn't recognizing my SIM). Tried the usual stuff (re-seating SIM, using the Telus SIM, reboots, cache wipes, network WCDMA/GSM selection etc), and nothing fixed it, it just seemed to come back on its own when it was good and damned ready no matter which SIM I used.
Flashed to "Frankenstein" KG3 on Sunday, and neither the Virgin or Telus SIM has lost network since then, in the same areas. WiFi seems to be working better too.
