I usually find solutions to my own problems while lurking, but this one is stumping me.
Starting last night at some point I stopped being able to receive both calls and texts. I was quite confused because I was in the middle of a text conversation with someone and they just stopped responding.
Data still works and I can make calls and send texts, but when I send myself a text from another phone nothing happens and calls just go to voicemail.
The phone was on the Eugene 2E JK2 Froyo ROM. I re-flashed it, then flashed it back to stock and nothing helps. When data is off it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. My GoogleFu may be lacking
Weird, have you contacted t-mobile support? Many years ago on ATT, with an old school flip phone, I had a similar problem. One night, my phone just suddenly stopped being able to receive or make calls. It could only text. The only solution was to get a replacement--it was not software related.
I've got a new phone on the way because I've been experiencing a similar thing, off and on for the last few days. I called T-mo and went through all the troubleshooting but they can't find any reason for the phone to be behaving this way...gonna send me a new one as warranty replacement.

I've been trying to solve some intermittent probs with messages that may be due to radio probs or possibly probs with handcent SMS.
When using the quick reply usually the message appears to go then a few seconds later I get the red triangle telling me message not sent. If I then resend, the message goes without an alert, but it appears it doesn't get to the recipient, even though it shows still in my thread.
Just wondered if anyone else has had similar probs, with or without Handcent
I have also been experiencing probs like the number being "unavailable" to folks calling me when I know its not, and with calls dropping out
So I had been asuming it was possibly a radio glitch, and swapped from 2.3 to 2.2 MCR, then changed my radio to 6-18EU and then to 5-31BU and I'm currently on 5-15U which is seeming the most stable.

It seems there is a few issues.
I have confimed instances of not receiving incoming calls at random intevals, I cannot pinpoint what is causing them. People say they have been trying to ring me and its just going to voicemail. I tried it myself randomly and 1 in 10 times it would not ring, no reason, had full signal!
As for SMS, I do get (quite low) occasions where a text wont sent, but when retrying it sends straight away, not sure why this is.
I've also had issues when trying to ring someone, my phone will just hang up and not even get to the point of ringing / going to voicemail. This can happen about 5-6 times before actually getting a ring out.
I've tried all the radio's available and they all seem to be the same. Pretty poo as I use the phone for business and I cannot afford to be losing calls.
I'm on o2 uk and always have my mobile data on, not sure if this could be causing it.
Yes, I get that, and on occasion emails not sent. But assume that comes down to the not great signal of the phone. Also, the SMS can freeze on occasion and you have to wait before you can slide through the individual users messages to look back.
Hi,
since I'm having the same kind of issue and got answer from support an relatives, maybe if you follow that thread we'd all get the answer we need

I am having similar issues using the standard messaging app. I have also noticed more recently that I find my handset with no signal for extended periods, I often have to restart to get the signal back.
White hero, official latest ROM on O2.
i'm the same

I have exactly the same problems with stock radio on T-mobile uk so it seems its a problem with the phone rather then particular network if it appears on o2 as well... its quite annoying to be honest where someone is trying to reach me and it goes straight to voicemail 5 times in a row and I know that my phone has been on the desk all the time with good signal..
for t-mob uk try the 07-08 radio
ive got it and it works prety well

I already have 07-08 radio!!
i occasionally dont receive txts til about an hour after they are sent and sometimes the same person has problems calling me also on a rare occasion it says number not recognised when i call them back.
very strange and even more annoying as its my gf's number it doesnt like lol.
radio 07.08

right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
I can't send or receive SMS. When i try all i get is 'could not send' Also, i cant make calls and when someone tries phoning me they get told me phone is turned off.
Iv tried the simcard in different phones and it works fine in them.
I haven't flashed the phone or anything like that, iv also tried to re-install the firmware but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Any ideas?
bump =) Surely someone on here can help this guy out

Seems like hardware issue. Send for repairs.
Unsure if this is the correct thread, but I would like assistance.
So I've been texting my girlfriend on viperROM, and it has been working perfectly. I transferred to MIUI the other day, and we were able to text for a few hours, but then I just stopped being able to receive her text messages. She can receive mine. I cannot receive hers, but I can receive texts from everyone else who has tried to text me. I have done a data wipe and reinstalled MIUI, and I've quadruple checked that she is not on my DND list. Any reasons this could be happening? Any suggestions to fix it?
This could be a kernel or baseband issue. Before I upgraded my baseband, I would send out texts and not hear back from anyone until i sent another few texts. It turned out that people would receive all my messages days later (the longest was 3 days I believe), and I would suddenly get flooded with people responding all at once. So, please post whether you're on hboot 1.5 or not and post what radio baseband you're on (you can check both of those by booting into your bootloader). with that information, either I or someone else who's more experienced with this phone than me could better help you out.
um, i'm on the 2.08 ota, and i have hboot 1.5
Hello folks.
I'm having an issue with my phone, S21 Unlocked SM-G991U1 (purchased directly from Samsung). This post might be long because I want to include all info to help answer questions that I might already have eliminated possible issues on.
I bought the phone March 18th and it's been working perfect up until exactly 4 days ago. What's been happening is that it will fail to send sms/texts randomly throughout the day. I can be having a conversation with someone then suddenly the texts I'm sending will begin to fail and they will get the ! or endless spinning circle depending which messaging app I'm using. I tried several apps (stock messaging, Google messages, textra) to eliminate the possibility of it being a specific one, it happens with all of them.
I then switched my sim card to another phone for several hours (S8) to see if it was a network issue... The S8 works perfect, no failed texts. As soon as I switch the sim back to the s21 the messages will fail again.
This happens at any given time, it will go from working fine for about 5 messages in a row then fail on every next message for about 10-15 mins then start working again.
This does not affect MMS or phone calls. Only SMS.
I'll also be able to receive any sms messages sent to me without issues at any time, even when outgoing ones fail.
I've tried resetting Network Settings to no avail.
I just did a complete factory reset, also no to avail. I'm lost here.
The phone has the latest update and had been working perfect up until 4 days ago. I can also say that I don't think the latest update was the cause because it started the day before I received the push notification for the update.
I'm on AT&T prepaid.
Please let me know if you have any questions I might not have covered or if you've encountered this issue before or what might be the fix. Thanks in advance!
