Phone Activation - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Ugh... I activated it online like at 10 PM last night and it hasn't worked yet It's 9:20 AM now. Maybe. The site said up to 3 hours. Does anyone know how long I would have to wait ?
I noticed a sim lock thing but I dont have the password to it ... :T

Texts coming in but time is 3 hours late

stock ROM.
i'm getting texts just fine but randomly it will decide to time stamp them 3 hours earlier, so if i have a bunch of texts i have to scroll through them all until i find the new one that it thinks was sent 3 hours ago. it is pretty annoying. anyone know how to fix this? soft reset didn't do anything.
it's often the networks fault when sms's are delay'd
i would try putting the sim in another phone for testing
same here
since yesterday ive been getting random texts with the timestamp 3 hrs earlier, and i also have to scroll thru to find it. my computer did something to the phone yesterday and basically deleted anything synced and then resynced. its been doing this ever since.
weird that we would get this same problem at the same time.
this is really annoying
Not to beat the horse but i've been having the same problem since this morning. Everything was fine all day and night yesterday. I've received about 8 texts or so since 8am EST this morning (it's now 2:20pm EST) and about 3 of the texts have had the problem. Pretty annoying. Assuming it's the network like someone previously suggested.
the person said the network was delivering them late. that has happened before too, but these are being delivered on time, but the time stamp is 3 hours before the text was sent. since 3 of us had the same problem starting yesterday or around then, it must have something to do with the network, even though the messages are being delivered on time, it is just the time stamp that is wrong.
weird.
yeah i thought it was something wrong with my particular phone but now since all three of us are having issues i feel "better".
hopefully t-mobile fixes this soon, its really annoying **crosses fingers**
Yeah, and the wierd thing is that it seems like it's only happening with specific contacts too. Looks like it's happening with only two people out of the 7 people that have texted me today.
yeah it's weird, but only 2 people have texted me today, and only one of them messed up, while both contacts messed up yesterday
this has also been happening to me, what phone service do you guys have, i have tmobile
I just thought my phone took a crap. but with the above posts I guess it was the network. mms are always late but this is a first for sms. tmobile needs serious improvement on their network issues
Maybe the Network Wizard will fix the problem? Just thought I'd throw that in there.
well my network settings are set the way tmobile set them, so i don't think it's anything we can fix on our end. it is them.
Im having the same problem since about yesturday, and my carrier is t-mobile,
so I think it has something to do with them.
Not to beat that already dead horse, but just to reiterate, I too have t-mobile and I have been receiving text exactly 3 hours late. It is very annoying and I am calling t-mobile ATM. Thanks for letting me know it isnt just me.
tell us what they say. last night it was nuts for me. i would get a text with the proper time stamp, and then one 3 hours earlier (but you know, it was actually received at the the present) and then one from the same person that would have an accurate time stamp

They told me that it was "only your issue and no one else in your area has complained about it." They offered to send me a new sim card but it seems like it must be a network issue and not a hardware one because we are all experiencing the same thing. Could it only be modded phones? I changed the rom on mine, been meaning to for a while. I cant say if it has happened again cause I havent gotten a message :-X
I live on the Northeats and was previously running Touch-IT 5.0.
you should have told them that there are reports on the internet of people having the same issues.
i'm in the southeast with the newest stock ROM. so it is definitely a network thing, not hardware or modded issues.
i'd call myself but i'm not the account holder and they make you give all these account numbers SSN and crap
well in addition to the time stamp being wrong now my sms are coming in 24 hrs late. I am afraid to ask whats next.
wow. mine are just 3 hour late timestamps. what is going on here?
I have also been getting delayed texts... sometimes like 10 minutes but can be up to like 9 hours late. I live in Seattle, WA

not registering the network time

hi
Have any of you guys experienced that the automatic time setting (the time the actual network sending) doesn't work?
I set mine to automatic so that i didn't have to do anything regarding setting the local time and dates..
The reason why i'm asking is that sitting here 1hour before i actually had to get up hence it did not register the network time
Can anyone check or confirm?
-TB-
I noticed that time and date were set, but time zone was 2 hours off. Had to set it manually...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I had the exact same problem (GT-i9000 SIM unlocked, on vodafone UK), I waited a few hours and the time was still saying it was hours ahead and in tomorrow (!!)
I ended up setting the time manually then re-selecting the network option. Not sure if that will help keep good time or not .... so far so good.

^^thats exactly what i experienced.. unlocked phone as well..
Maybe it has something to do with the phones not being branded?
But for now i haven't ticked the network time.. Ill let you guys know what happens
-TB-
yeah same problem finally had to set it manually, shame. Why did I sell my black desire for this piece of trash!
Thankfully i didn't buy it on contract otherwise would have been lumbered with this crap for 18 months.
Strange mine works fine on Vodafone UK. Just won't display the phone number, Wonder if its because I ported from orange

Seems to me that the initial release of this phone has been quite buggy. I'm still on the shipped firmware (JF3), though might go for a MoDaCo kitchen cooked ROM at some point.
Previously I had a Nexus One and that took time from the network fine.
Same thing happend to me. When I started the phone for the first time, it didn't update the network time at all. after some time it came, but it's very various when it works or not.

SIM Unavailable or Damaged?

I just installed WM7 (XBMod) yesterday, so far its awesome.
Yesterday while my phone was sitting idle it decided to stop reading my TMO US Sim card. Was giving error SIM Unavailable or Damaged while sending SMS. A reboot of the device fixed it but I was wondering if anyone else has had this and how often?
I've never faced such a problem nor read about it here on xda.
Probably something minor, don't worry and enjoy WP7
It happened to me a couple of time last weekend. I fixed it by turning flight mode on and off. I have no idea what was causing it.
Happened to me again yesterday, not sure when it broke but buddy of mine sent me a sms at around 5pm and I didn't realize it wasn't working until he asked why I didn't respond at around 7:45...
a reboot fixes it but unless you are looking at your phone there is no way to know it is not reading the sim.

Wont Activate

So I got my phone at 9:00 this morning and I have been patiently doing work until now. Now that I have some time i turned on the Note 3 for the first time and the activation fails. Anyone have any suggestions?
Make sure you have a sim card in it and call verizon or activate it online.

Had to take it to the store since I was coming from a 3g phone.
Mine would not activate either.
Pulled out the sim that cam with it and replaced it with the sim from my note 2 and it was fine after that.
