Need Help ASAP - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I think i may have broken my phone. I installed the application Telinfo and tested the LTE Only option. It worked well for me but did not like it because when i force it on LTE Only im unable to do any calls (although text messages work well) so i uninstalled the application and rebooted my phone. After that it is asking me to activate my phone, when i try to activate it. it fails. Tried to restore my last back up, same thing. Any one encountered the same issue? I checked Mobile Networks and it only show CDMA select Home and Automatic as the options

MMS Problems

Hey, just wondering if those on T-Mobile UK with the HD2 have had any problems with MMS? I've had the phone a couple of months but never tried MMS, until someone tried to send me one the other day. I got the message and when i tapped on it, its asks me to download the pic, i tap download and in the notifications it says unable to download.
I've tried getting T-Mobile to send the settings again to no avail, and have tried the sim in an old phone and MMS works fine. I've tried manually entering the settings and deleting the original ones but still doesn't work.
So i'm thinking its something with the HD2 rather than T-Mobile, but would just like to confirm with someone else's settings. Anyone any ideas?

I'm not having any problems. I did run a custom ROM a while back that displayed the same problems you mention, no matter what I did with the settings it wouldn't send or download. Not had a problem since though. Have you tried running the connection wizard again? (settings tab-menu-all settings-connections-connection setup) Might be worth a go.
Your provider settings govern how your phone handles MMS. You should be able to download the settings automatically, or enter them manually. I'd call them and ask how to configure MMS.
Got it working, tried what leoni1980 said, which i've tried about 10 times last night. And it worked lol, don't know why it just started working but cheers.
I am having the same issues - custom ROM, now won't download MMS.
It's refreshed the settings to -mobile UK, which is a start, but it doesn't seem to want to download
I have had the same issue on some custom roms, just seems that some work and some don't. I use Artemis v27 and not had any problems although I did have to reset my connection setting to start with as posted above. I also have 3G setting set to auto mode, although I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

MMS&Data Connection Problem..

Apologies if this has been posted before, I have tried to find topics similar, but have found no resolution thus far.
My X10's data was working perfectly, then about 2 weeks ago, market stopped working at "Starting Download" never completed, and I couldn't download Apps! This suddenly fixed itself one night randomly, and all my apps downloaded and installed, but instantly the market problem continued when I tried to use it again!
Now, the 3G/2G connection is totally non existent, there is NO icon at the top.. I have tried restarting the phone, turning it off and on, sim and battery out, even calling O2 to get correct APN settings (Server field is black, is this right?) and I got no "green light" beside "mms" at the APN type field..
The signal was fantastic before, and my family are still getting 3G connection on their phones, so I ahve no idea what the problem is.. I installed a few battery saving things which Iv since uninstalled.. but i have no clue what to do!
Any help would be much appreciated.. Thankyou!
suggest backing up your apps and then doing a factory data reset.. it's a pain in the proverbials but worked for me when this happened a couple of months ago.
How do I go about doing this mate? Any easy way?
Hi - Before you do this.. Can I just check something.. have you check in your network settings that it's not switched off... settings; wireless controls; mobile networks; MMS and data (needs to be on!).. and network mode - best to have it on GSM/ WCDMA Preferred to make sure... otherwise.... to answer your question above..
That will depend on whether you've already downloaded a file/ app manager such as ASTRO which will allow you to back up the apps.... if not you'll just have to make a note of which ones you want to reinstall and re load them after you've reset the phone.. the reset is done in the settings menu - sd card and phone storage - factory data reset... it will reset your phone back to how is was when you first got it though..

[Q] i cant send/receive calls/texts.. HELP

I've just bought a second hand omnia 7, i put my sim card in and went straight on facebook so i assumed it was fine.. i then realised i couldnt make calls or send texts, and none of my calls went through. i tried it on a different sim and had the same problem.. HELP
I also have this problem any help? I cant make/send calls or texts but can get on G and browse the internet, could this be a problem with the setting on the phone? APN's maby? done 2 factory resets and recieved a text from windows phone saying welcome but thats all it will do....
I have the same problem, after some time. Messaging and calls stop working...
Has anyone come up with a fix for this?
I have full signal on an unlocked Omnia 7 but it is a simple case of not being able to make any calls or texts (or receive them for that matter).
Maybe they tamperd in Diagnostic Tools. I messed aroun and had a hard time restoring the radio settings. Look for diagnostic codes here you find a toon if codes to use. Hit this in your dial pad and you install and start the diagnostic tools.
##634#
You need to find the codes (cant remember em im afraid) that gives access to gsm/3G section.
Just had to look =P
- Hit *#32489# and you get to Cyphering. Mine is on
- Hit back once and you can press [5] RRC (HSPA). Mine is set to REL6
- If you back to the side where we could find the above [5]RRC option, you have below a Dual Mode setting. Mine says "Not ACT"
- When you type in *#32489# you can press back 2 times. There you can select option [7] Network settings. In there you can look if stuff is in automatic modes. Like...
[2] Band selection, mine is in automatic.
Well, there you have it. Something to compare to a working device. A hard reset won't put these values to default so you will have to look for your self. Now be carfull in there, you can do more damage if you dont acctully read what the pages says. If you understand what im saying, there should be no problems. Check out your settings and compare to mine. Se any diff just set it like i given advice on. Hope this helps..
Cheers for the advice but it hasn't helped as I have the same settings as you, another thing to add whenever I do try to make a call it comes up "00:00 Call Ended". I hope that may help someone in diagnosing the problem.
Have you tried downloading the Samsung Network Profile tool from Marketplace and then changing the Active profile to your SIM card?
Hvae you tried putting an unbranded ROM on? (even an old one as Zune will update with the unbranded ROM!!)
Same problem tried different ROMS but still have "Emergency Only".
The SIM is OK.
anybody found a fix for this problem ? im also suffering but the phone will receive texts and voice-mail on the orange network, it was on orange before i got it unlocked.
thanks hope there is help out there

Wifi calling not working on G955N (Korean S8+)

Hello all,
Got my G955N in my hands. Followed the threads here to get TWRP installed, used it to install Batman ROM, then used TWRP to flash the AT&T CSC as my provider is AT&T.
In my pull down menu I do have the option for WIFI calling, however whenever I hit it, it fails (seems I can't post pics, so here is the text I get: "Loading, this may take a few moments" then it blinks a few seconds in and repeats. Then it goes to "Please try to set up WIFI calling again later."
I know it's an issue with my phone specifically because my wife's AT&T iPhone7 has WIFI calling working fine (not an ISP issue at home) and I swapped her SIM into my phone and I still got the same error. So it's something with the phone and not likely an account level issue (although maybe? Who knows at this point?)
Also, when I enter the testing menu, I see that "Data Service: Disconnected" which I'm not sure is right? Also, VOLTE Provisioned is not selected, however each time I do select it, it immediately goes back to deselected the moment I navigate away from the testing menu. I can reselect it all day and it still goes back to deselected the moment I move out of the screen.
I've read until my eyes bleed and tried just about everything I could find to try and no joy.
Any ideas?
P.S. got pics if anyone wants me to email them to you for clarity. Guess I'm too new here to be allowed to post pics
To follow up:
Turns out it was an account based issue. Seems AT&T tries to verify the IMEI when attempting to use Wifi calling. So unless registered in the network, it isn't going to work.
And the kicker is, AT&T won't allow Wifi calling or other services with any phone they didn't sell. You can toss in your SIM and use calling, but they won't activate other features if you try to bring your own phone.
So I spent yesterday switching to T-mobile and am now fully functional with all the features of my phone working as they should. AT&T lost me as a customer.

Okay. I went through this a whole lot with this phone, and on almost every custom ROM it has. Lineage ROM is the only one that has worked for me right after install. I'm not sure why it does this as the APN settings that comes with the Roms are exactly correct. However you will not be able to get your full service until you manually add the APN settings in yourself. You can delete the 2 other APN's if you want. It really makes no difference. But you will literally have to make a new APN with the exact same settings as the 2 original ones in order for your DATA and MMS settings to work. Once you hit the "save APN" button you should see the 4g or LTE symbol pop on and everything will work just fine. Good luck. Let me know if you still have trouble.
