Galaxy S2 Problems on Rogers Network - Canada

1. MMS stops working by itself, after factory reset starts working again. No settings are being changed.
2. Bluetooth connection to my car Audi Handfree is very unreliable and causes network connection to stall, no data and calls go straigh to voicemail.
3. Call waiting stoped working. Everytime i get a second call my primary call mutes and I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. By switching back and forth between callers I am able to hear first caller again.
All of these issues are solved by factory reseting the phone.
Does anyone have a clue why is this happening?
Using latest KE7 software.

I am on rogers and are having no issues with my phone that you are having... Maybe you got a bad phone?

Can you check if your mms messaging work?

On Rogers in Southwestern Ontario. I don't use MMS, so I don't have much experience with that.
I have used by SGS2 with BT Audio and calls on an Alpine KCE-400BT (Parrot unit rebranded as Alpine) and a Sony Xplod unit without any unusual behaviour
Haven't used call waiting other than by accident, no experience there either.

Hi I'm on Rogers is Windsor, I don't use MMS or bluetooth, but I use call waiting very often and not once as it messed up on me.

Anyone using Rogers having problems with digital call display? Whenever someone calls me it comes up as "unknown" but my account has digital call display on it.

I have seen name display work fine on my phone.it's a fantastic feature!

I updated to KF2 and and lost data and voice fo about 70% of the time. Now I am back to KE4 and it is OK.

Everything has been fine here. Have not had a problem yet but I have only had the phone for two weeks.

Anyone using Rogers having any data stalling/dropping issues? It seems like every time I go into an area with no signal (subway or elevator for example) it just doesn't seem to connect back onto the network fully. Even though it will say 3G, the data connection is actually dead and I usually have to wait a while or cycle airplane mode to get it back.
I'm using the KE4 radio. If you guys are having no problems, could you tell me which ROM and radio (baseband) you're using? Also, if fast dormancy is enabled or disabled? You can check with dialing *#9900#. Also, which APN you're using for data? Is it the internet.com one or the rogers-core-appl1.apn?
Thanks

I just got a Bell SGS2 yesterday and rooted/unlocked it. I'm having 2 problems to date:
1) GPS cannot fix. I can be in view of 12 satellites, but it just won't fix.
2) My SMS timestamps are screwed up. Every message comes in with a stamp of 4 hours earlier.
Anyone else having these problems?
EDIT: Oddly enough, MMS works AND the timestamp is correct.

Hi guys, how did you get it to unlock to work on rogers? I have tried the free app on the market but that doesn't work out for me.
I have rooted the phone already.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Instead of getting the Galaxy S2 unlock app from the market, get the Galaxy_S app. It'll crash the phone at step 2, but it'll be unlocked after it reboots!

I haven't had this problem with my SGS2, but I've had it with previous Android and Windows phones. It is a known bug.
Apparently the problem isn't present when using Handcent SMS (which is really good anyways) or you can use this program designed specifically to fix the problem.

Might be a dumb question, but did you check your APN settings? Maybe they got messed up somehow.

Thank you that worked

Nvm got it working.

This is why I'm afraid of using anything but the stock Kernel. No problems here on my unlocked stock SG2.

Hey guys,
I just got an unlocked Japanese Galaxy S 2 (brand: NTT Docomo) and cannot get 3G to work on my phone. I am with Rogers.
I've tried enabling bands using the USSD codes but have had no luck.
Anyone else using a Japanese GS2 and got 3G to work on Rogers?

NTT works on completely different frequencies....there is no way it'd work here. If you want a phone that'd work in Japan then you'd need to buy one here and get a Softbank SIM card while in Japan.

Nvm got it working.

can't make phone calls or receive calls on 4.3

when i click on the phone icon in the home screen it says , app not installed
do i need to flash a new 4.3 gapps zip?
using phone B to call my nexus4, i can hear phoneB ringing but nexus4 is all silent
in installed that nexusLTE enabler zip and the hybrid .33 baseband to get LTE back on 4.3, maybe this screwed up my phone? i can sms

Flashing LTE on Android 4.3 will not work since it is completely unsupported so you may want to change radio back to normal since that is the problem.

lte works fine for 4.3. you have to flash one of the hybrid radios to get lte.

Tab 4 and standard calls.

Has anyone discovered a way to unlock the calling feature on the SG Tab 4 line of products yet?

Mine works for some reason already. The phone app and the text app are already there. Only works as a speaker phone or using a bt headset though.

Who are you with? T-Mobile here and I only have txting. Even try ed Activity Launcher to find dialer app, but no go.
Sent from my SM-T337T using Tapatalk

I did find speed dialer under contacts in Activity Launcher. I can apply a contact to speed dial number, but when I atempt to use said number. Message shows up... "Voice calls not supported." Beh... was worth a try.

Decided to dive into Activity Launcher again. I found 'Voice Call Barring' under Device. Opened it up and come to find if i only new the passwords i can activate incoming and out going calls on the T337T. Now to figure out the passwords or find them online.

Tryed 0000 worked sort of... options turned on and off, but message popped up saying 'Network or simcard error.'.

Sounds like you found the magic answer, however, your SIM card may only be provisioned for data only. Take the SIM out of your phone and try it.

Im going to try swapping my wife's sim with mine. If that doesn't work I think i'm going to just leave this one alone for the time being.

did you figure this out-thread hung up with this when you seemed so close to resolution (either it worked or did not) thanks

i have tried a bunch of passwords and nothing, called tmobile and Samsung and they offer no solution at all, i am deployed and really need to be able to use the tab as a phone

in looking at the user manuals it appears the T337T does not have an additional microphone (for speaking into as in a phone call) unlike the T335 which does. This indicates to me that the T337t could not be used as a phone even if someone managed to get the phone app, modem etc all to work together (unless microphone arrangements were changed and even at that would not be worth the trouble-unlikely it would work well-as the folks using CM/AOSP on such tablet phone devices-no solution for echo issue due to speaker/microphone config)

Solved- Not receiving in-bound calls

Tl;dr Settings--> mobile networks --> mobile data --> untick Enhanced LTE Services (This only pertains to AT&T video calls and does NOT disable LTE for data)
After switching firmware from SM-G930A (AT&T) to G930U (unlocked) I initially noticed fast charging wasn't working properly. A few days after cycling the battery a few times I noticed my battery was dwindling hardcore without touching the phone so I decided I'd revert back to stock. After doing so and getting all of my apps and settings to my liking I noticed that no calls were coming through. Text was working, data was working and I could make phone calls out with no problem, no calls would come through so after fiddling around with the settings, factory resetting my phone twice, using odin to flash the files again, un-seating and re-seating my SIM card, I finally caved and called AT&T. They offered the resolution above and thought I'd pass the knowledge around and save others from the head ache I endured. Apparently they are having trouble with video call settings in some devices and mine happened to be one of them. Cheers

After flashing to the unlocked U firmware I was not able to receive calls as well until they read registered me back to the network but now I cannot get voice over LTE calls I have done everything I can to return to stock I already have done it but there's no LTE voice calls anymore

I had the issue of no incoming calls when switching BACK TO the A fw from the U fw. Went back to the U and it's been fine. Fast charging is working fine.

@joe3681 what network are u on and do you have volte working

Check the stock att 935A fw thread. There is a fix for this problem by najoor. It will work on the 930 also.

Cannot recieve calls on Note 3 after unlock?

Hi all,
I'm confounded by a problem with my husband's Note 3 and I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. When he first got this device used, I rooted it but never installed a custom recovery or ROM because all he wanted to do was freeze out ATT apps. It's been working fine on ATT/Airvoice for years. We decided to switch to Ting, so we paid to unlock it and ported the number. Since then, he's not able to receive calls. He can make calls and send and receive texts, but calls go straight to voicemail. I've played around with call forwarding options in the dialer and the option to forward to another number is completely locked out (changes won't update) and cannot be toggled on/off (although it indicates it's off).
We've already factory reset the phone, no love. Is this a firmware error? My Ting sim in his phone gets the same results, and his sim in my phone works. I'm ready to update the firmware and put a new ROM on it if necessary and would appreciate recommendations.
TIA

What model is it ??
ATT model then you need to post in the ATT forum .

It's not network locked as the sim doesn't trip any warnings and he can make calls and send and receive texts. BUT I would like to Odin in the right firmware and see if that fixes it. Problem is, the links in some of the old threads no longer work and I have no idea which one is the best one for KK 4.4.2. Any ideas?
