[Q] Not receiving SMS (fixed) - Focus General

Hi all
I've got a samsung focus that I love but it has an intermittent problem where I can't receive sms. If i restart it and send myself a sms then I will get all the sms I should have previously got.
I can't work out exactly what causes it but I was thinking maybe it's related to changing cell tower when I drive somewhere. I have hacked it recently to send mms but this was a problem previously.
Has anyone got anythoughts on how to fix it?
Cheers
Nic

does it stop receiving messages after 10?

you'll most likely have to use *#32489# then the back button to get to the main menu. then follow post above.

Thanks a lot, worked a treat - it did stop the ability to pxt, but I'll live without it

After DONUT-update (regular) no calls nor SMS possible

hey there.
i do have a strange prob after the regular update (phone tells me, there is an update available... clicking YES i WANT it... downloading, restart, etc.) of my sapphire:
if i want to call someone i just get a busy sound (beep beep beep... so on. u know ). it doesnt matter what number i call or what programm i use for it.
i can recieve calls like before, no prob there.
the same with SMS sending: doesnt matter what program i use (handcent, build in): after clicking the send button it takes a while and i get the message: sending not possible.
recieving SMS works fine.
i DO have a good cell connection and i CAN use 2G or 3G internet browsing. WLAN works, etc.
everything is working like before.
Anyone experienced similar "behavior"?
Any ideas, what that can be?
If there is nothing coming up here i think a wipe and reinstall is the best try?!
thx a lot.

SOLUTION...
In a German Forum (http://www.android-hilfe.de/vodafone-htc-magic-forum/8772-kann-keine-sms-mehr-schicken.html) i found some useful hints.
My solution was:
putting another SIM card (mine was SIMYO (german), change card was debitel (german)) in the phone. with this card everything worked fine.
so i put my card back in... and: voila! it worked as well.
VERY STRANGE.
dont even now if my action was part of the solution, but it works now.
no restart, etc. helped before.

Are you using google voice as your default dialer? If so, toggle or disable and try again.
Problem back
Hi again,
mysteriously the problem came back, and today i cant fone or send sms again.
the only "work around" solution at the moment is using APNdroid to kill the internet connection, and then the fon will work again.
but this is really annoying....
any ideas?
btw: i´m not usin google voice at all (i think)
using starcontact or the "standard" dialer that comes with android....

Bizzare Issue...

Hey all!
I have a HTC Tattoo it originally had the stock rom then i re-flashed it with a new one to see if i could solve the following problem.
It was my understanding that if your just browsing the Web, you cannot receive calls/texts (both 3G/GPRS), however most phones give an illusion of this by pausing data momentarily to check for incoming calls.
However, my tattoo doesn't do this, my HTC Touch 3G (WinMo) did and i never missed a call. My tattoo seems to just send calls to voicemail all the time (even just background data usage causes this), seems better if i set it to GSM Only, but will still block calls.
Also ive experienced some issues making calls (particularly when set the phone to WCDMA only)
Is this just my phone or is this a common issue? Its always been the same with this phone, but ive recently missed some urgent calls and its spurred me on to get this resolved.
Thanks in Advanced, Dan
Something is wrong, that is not common behavior.

Connection Problems

Hey guys I have a T-mobile HD2 with a 2.08 radio with the touch extreme rom. Just recently I started to have problems sending MMS messages. It will tell me that it was unable to send the message and tells me to check connection. So i go to connections and press and hole the T-Mobile connection until the connect option pops up. I press the connect button and try to send it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. It this the reason why people try diffrent radios or is there another solution. Any help woud be appreciated. Very frustrating.
I am having a problem now too. Had my HD2 for almost 4 months now and never had a problem until now.
I can't send or receive MMS messages. Text only works just fine but if I try to send or receive any type of audio, video, or picture message it simply gives me an "unable to send message" error notification.
I never had problems before. Tried going into settings to lower the file size limit, still doesn't work.
Help?
I'm not sure, but I think you have to add a special feature to your plan to send anything but text with t-mobile.

Can't receive SMS (not all the time)

Hello,
I have bought a Leeco Coolpad for my mother and everything works fine except one annoying thing. Receiving SMS does not always work while the same sim card in another device works just fine.
It's like the phone is not listening for SMS at some point and you can send as many SMS to the phone as you want, no of them ever reaches the phone while sometimes everything is working fine.
Have you experienced the same issue and if yes, do you know how to solve it? My mother uses SMS a lot so if this doesn't work, I'll have no other option than returning the phone
Thanks
Laurent
Check the APN, make sure it's configured correctly.
Check the phone manage settings. The text are probably setup to block the incoming texts.
Thanks! I sometimes receive SMS which would mean that the configuration is ok otherwise I would never receive any. It's like the default application for SMS is sometimes not listening to incoming SMS anymore. I have tried other SMS applications and it's exactly the same issue, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't for some reason.
I have the same problem on Lineage (android 9) firmware 30s (the problem also persists on 20s). The problem does not come from my provider and the APN settings are correct. Have you found a solution? I think it comes from the radio settings. Thanks!

Question SMS problem with Nothing phone 1

I am not able to send out SMS from my new nothing phone 1. Have tried trouble shooting with all solutions available in YouTube / Google / internet but still getting a reply 'not sent, tap to try again'
For sure you have a APN settings problem.
You must search your APN provider settings and check APN actual settings in your device
What is your provider ?

Even I am not able to send SMS to any of the numbers, @Pho3nX Tried everything..
Also after switching on aeroplane mode on and off for 3 seconds I am able to send an SMS but after that no. Moreover switching to 3G helps me send SMS. Also to some contacts, I could send SMS but that's very rare. Due to this I cant even verify my bank account on gpay or paytm! Any fixes? (I tried the Apn settings you shared but it doesn't still work)

It may well be helpful if members state the country and network and if the device is a European or Global one.
Just my 2 cents.

Sorry, the Country is India and the network is Vi (Vodaphone & idea)
I have the exact same issue below is the device info:
Country - India
Carrier - VI (Vodafone & Idea).
Config - 8/256GB Black variant.
OS - 1.1.2
Issue description - There is a delay in SMS(5-10 mins) and at times SMS fails to be send when using VI sim . Certain apps like Swiggy, Zomato works where it send OTP code to the registered number however issue happens when apps like banking (Axis/ICICI) sends SMS from device to their end, where it fails or gets delivered after some time and leads to a timeout situation.
From what I can see it is mostly when sending SMS and is specifically to VI Sim cards. I did not face such issue when using carrier - JIO.
Note - I was able to find a temporary walkaround with banking apps registration by selecting 3G as mentioned above and also on a separate thread. (it is a bit slow but seems to work for now).
For now have shared my issue with Nothing support I urge others who are affected to do the same as it will help to push for a fix.
yes

yes, 3G works fine I tried it. Also maybe switching on aeroplane mode and then turning it off allows me to send SMS for a time period of 3-4 secs, that's how I verify the bank apps.
Are you planning to replace? (don't tell me that all of the np's have this issue).

I did not use the device much initially and by the time I found the issue it was too late ,replacement window expired and I don't feel that going to service center will provide much help.
Also I found a few more issues:
1)HDR videos on YouTube seems like a hit or miss most of the time, some videos lag at 4K HDR 60FPS else at times it gets stuck at 480P or just plays in normal mode without HDR option ; need to close and reopen app to temporarily fix the issue. But mostly with 4K HDR 60FPS videos this issue creeps in. Have tried YouTube Vanced, downgrading to older version but nothing helps.
2)There is also a bug with work profile where the button "text" is of a lighter shade and hence text is harder to read. This is only when dark mode is turned on but looks fine in light mode.
Have already performed multiple Factory Reset from Boot menu but issue remains. Also I am yet to receive any response from Nothing support for the concern I raised earlier.
At present I feel that it was a bad decision to buy this phone.

I think this issue only exists in Vi handsets @#Android4Life#
I am also facing the same issue, is the issue resolved?? Any one have any solution?
Hi Edwin, I too tried everything, changing to 3G helps a little bit. But have you got any solution on this

Try with volte disabled. I encounter this bug on other custom Roms based on A12 on other phones.
Vodafone user from Kashmir. Been able to sms properly Its working fine for me. Been able to login on all bank apps. Vodafone does have an extra outgoing sms pack u hv to recharge with. Maybe you hv a problem there. The only issue i m facing is the lock screen is buggy the display goes from grey to white
Facing the same issue with outgoing sms on the Nothing phone 1, Vodafone Karnataka India. Switching to airplane mode and then back sends the sms.
Just received the 1.1.4 update and looks like this is resolved
