FYI - I am on T-Mobile for example and don't have any such notifications. I noticed that your phone shows as if you don't have a sim card in it, could that be why it is doing this?

I'm not on TMO or Sprint that's why I don't have a sim in the phone but the sim I do have I put in the phone and I still get the opportunity up

You posted in my thread where I asked the same thing. It's software that comes on the phone if it has been locked to Sprint at some point. If you clear the notification somehow it will stay away until you take out your sim, or reboot the phone with no sim in it.

Text message - sound issues!

My phone has been working fine until today when I changed my SIM to a new one. Now when I get a text message all I get is the vibration but no sound is played! It was fine before. I have it set to "Normal" in the Sound Profiles and have select a tone for new messages but still nothing... anyone know what's happened?
Also how do you setup a SIM password on this phone? I already had it set on my old SIM from my old phone but have no idea how to set it up on here on the new SIM! Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Only to be sure: Did you try a soft-reset? This can solve such problems very often.

I've tried a soft-rest a million times now I think but still no luck.
Ok I've found out the solution to my own problem... and boy was it a stupid one and I feel like a right idiot. I had the volume turned off which was the reason the message sound stopped playing!
Sorry!

[Q] HTC Trophy Calling Problem please help

I have purchased HTC Trophy and it have some problems when calling
Sometimes when i call it makes the sound like Busy and ends call and reception bar shows 0-1 then goes Full, but number is not busy and does it fault of Operator or Mobile Phone and can anyone help?
Only issues I've had with my Trophy were while driving into a tunnel and losing a call due to bad reception.
You need to test if its your provider or the phone's problem. Get a SIM card from another operator and test it out, call different numbers in different locations... if you can't just ask to exchange the phone.

Nope... but I've had some Android devices get very hot.
Try and remove the battery off your Trophy and see if that helps out.

Remove battery, face North and shake it 3 times... place battery back into phone and turn it on.
See how it works out.

Not saying it won't ever again get hot... remove it and try it out. If it keeps getting too hot, I'd suggest taking back for a swap/refund.
How is the calls issue ? Solved, still giving you problems ?

I don't know it didn't make me disturb, but sometimes the message didn't send
I clicked on "Try Again" and it still doesn't send, but when i write message for different number it has been sent. I Don't know what does happens.
Can you offer me some of the best navigation application?

The only time my Trophy gets a bit too hot to notice, is when I use it in my car... lighter charging and music playing.

[Q] No data after Cyanogen

Hi I flashed cm and it was working fine for awhile then I woke up and I had lost my mobile data and ability to send and recieve texts.
The apn settings are correct, Ive restarted the phone and pulled out the battery and sim. Reflashed stock and cm a bunch of times, factory reset a few times. But nothing seems to be working. I noticed in cm there was an option for ruimsim and nv but I could only select nv..
I am now on rooted stock and the problem persists. So how do I fix it?
When you say you flashed stock I'm assuming you used Odin? If so then I'd say you have a hardware problem

Talk to your carrier first. They might be able to reset something that would get your data back. If that doesn't work then I'd flash back to stock and do a warranty claim.
Another thing I noticed is that it shows signal bars even when no sim is inserted

it makes me think it has something to do with cm and the nv/ruimsim options. Nv is for phones without sim cards right?

Yup I have the correct settings but when I ooen to edit them everything is grey and I cant interact with them(dont need to though as theyre correct). I made a new apn that is the same but I canchange the settings on it and still no luck

Google "nv/ruimsim xda". There's some stuff there that might help. But I would think Odin back to stock would have cleared things up

I looked through quite a few threads and the way they solve it is usually by switching nv to ruimsim but whrn I try the settings dont go through and it stays on nv mode

[Q] Unable to detect SIM card error

I just bought a used Note 3. Everything seems to work fine but I keep getting this error "SIM card removed. Unable to detect your SIM card. Your device will restart to check for your SIM card."
I don't get this error right away, it seems to happen within 30 minutes or so of turning the phone on with the SIM card. From doing some searches for this problem, it seems to be a common problem on the S4 but I couldn't find much on the Note 3. When this happens on the S4 it sounds like it's an irreparable hardware problem.
Is this a common problem with the Note 3? Is it possible that the SIM card is the problem here? Or would that crop up right from the start?
The phone has the latest software updates but no software has been downloaded, the phone hasn't been activated and I haven't even associated it with my Google account. So it's as close to virgin as can be. I bought it through Amazon so I can return it if it is a hopeless case.
Any advice?
I tried a second SIM card and got the same error so I'm confident it's not the card.
Sprint is telling me the phone is fine but the problem is that the phone hasn't been activated. Can that be right? Doesn't sound right or it wouldn't take 30 minutes to get the error message.
Can someone shed some light on this? Is this normal or is something wrong with the phone?
So just to update in case anyone in the future has this problem and finds this thread.
I activated my phone and I no longer receive this error message. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my phone, it was simply an activation issue. Strange, but that's what it is.

What do you mean by activating the phone? i.e add an Google account?

No, I mean adding the phone to my account and assigning it a phone number.
Prior to this I was just testing the phone out over wi-fi just to make sure everything was working OK. SinceI bought it used I didn't want to go through the hassle of adding it to my account and then finding out something was wrong with the phone and having to keep switching phones out. But the phone didn't like having a SIM in the slot while not activated. Once I assigned a phone number to the phone the error stopped.

Thank you, but still have no idea about "activating the phone"?
How can you assign a phone number to the phone?
Sorry I'm not familiar with this

I can't tell if you are being serious or joking. With 2000+ I would think you are familiar with activating a phone.
Maybe these links from Sprint will help you understand:

Of course I'm serious. May be this term is applied for Sprint carrier only?
I have never heard before.
Thanks though.

On Text messages, does not show Read or Sent after Feb. Update

On my AT&T S10+ Saturday it will not show in text messages Read or Sent Now. Have checked settings and Advanced Messaging is still On. So must be an AT&T problem with Update???
What messages app are you using? Stock Samsung or Google Messages?
Stock Samsung that comes on phone as Always
My S10+ stopped doing it after like the September update. I thought AT&T had just turned it off or stopped using it.
Mine shows sent briefly after sending, but i have never seen read before.

Well mine did until update. Guess will have to do factory Reset to get it back doing it. What I usually have to do for some reason.
@tailgunner9 let me know if a factory reset fixes it.

Figures AT&T would mess it up. I haven't even taken the latest update to bootloader v3.
