Try clearing data of the messaging app in setting>applications manager. Think it should fix it.

Still no contact will appear. I even use a new sim to avoid a contact duplication.

I have the same problem...
And also the viber contacts, viber seems to do not sync with my agenda...

I have the same problem here...

I don't know why... and I'm looking for this info.

Try using an aftermarket app such as "Go SMS Pro" (it's free).
Does the problem still occur?

Problem with 3G
Hello,
I have this strange problem with my SHV-E210L, when I lose the carrier signal (i go in my garage for example), and when my phone finds the signal again, i can't get back automatically the data network (3G or G). then i must use the airplane mode or switch off the phone to recover the data network. Does anybody have this problem?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you have install an app killer, which will activate to stop your data network.

[Q] SGS2 M250S (Korean version) Can't send SMS: will changing ROM solve this?

I have the Korean version of SGS2. I can make phone calls, receive phone calls, connect via mobile internet and receive SMS but I can't send SMS. Will changing my ROM allow me to send SMS?
The service provider I'm using has the following bands
Service Provider GSM Frequency Band 3G Standard 3G Frequency Band
Globe Telecom 900 MHz/1800 MHz W-CDMA (UMTS) 2100 MHz
Thanks!
The M250S uses a different messaging standard from what i've heard. You can try changing ROM and see if that helps, if not then there's probably nothing much you can do unfortunately.
What ROM would you recommend for M250S?
The usual reason why MMS will not send is no details or wrong details for the Message Centre Number incorrect for network .

That is a possibility although I can't find a way to change this on the Galaxy S2.
Another possibility is the "unknown" label in the Settings>About Phone>My Phone Number section but I can't find any way to change it.
Got it! It was fixed by changing the My Phone Number in the SIM card which was done via CM (on my nexus s).
Thanks for your help guys!
P.S. Is there a way to close this topic?
More details please I have the same problem!
Hello all and please help,
I have the same situation with my korean SKT carrier phone m250s which I am using in South Korea. Every time I root my phone, I lose the capability to send and receive mms messages. Can someone please elaborate on how to fix this problem? It seems like there is an answer here already, but I'm not sure how to proceed and what exactly to change.
Much thanks

Are you able to view SMS messages that are in Korean? If so, could you tell me what ROM you're on?
Most recently, I rooted the phone with the red pill kernel and flashed litening rom 1.1 ics. Again the same issue arose. SMS worked fine, but for mms, it would say download, I'd press on it and nothing would happen. Installing and running handscent took care of this problem, but I still get the stock ssm/mms message that says download and it doesn't work!
I'm wondering if skt has fixed it so that when a non-stock firmware / kernel is detected, they disable mms, or imei file is changed.
But to answer your question, yes, I can receive and send files in Korean.
U should stay stock... Only one option use thirdparty apps like GO Sms Pro or so...

I'm having trouble sending SMS's with the latest Hydrog3n ICS. It comes up with "sending failed" and drops my GSM signal. I've searched the settings and unable to find the message centre setting. But strange enough is I'm able to receive SMS's.
Anybody else having this issue?

Before you do anything else. Have you tried simply reflashing the rom? Or maybe just restarting the phone? Sometimes these simple things should fix your phone. And it is advisable to format cache and format system too before flashing a new rom. Please ask away if you need some help with this.
Have a nice day.

It's the settings from within the Messaging app. Open Messaging > Menu > Settings. Scroll about halfway down. Should be under "Text message (SMS) settings".

I'll try that and see. Although I really think it's a glitch in the ROM (or messaging app) itself.

Hmm. Hydrog3n not a stock based ROM? The setting is there in the Samsung stock messaging app.
Okey dokey. I've reinstalled the ROM after a full wipe as suggested and the issue persists. I've also tried flashing CM9 (20-3-2012) with the same result. This is insane. Am I the only one with this issue? Or am I the only one still texting?
It seems like I'll need to roll back to CheckROM while I wait for an update . At least I'll get 3 days on my battery again

I'm having the exact same problem, perhaps it has something to do with network specifics here in south africa. CM9 forums do have this problem on their bug list, but it doesn't seem to be present in most users. Desperate for a fix though, at some point i gave up and tried different roms where sms worked, was painful using anything else after using CM9 or Hydrog3n, so i'm back, rather use cm9 or Hydrog3n than anything else even with the sms problem...... ........ hopefully a fix comes soon.
Problem solved
I have solved my issue withthis, it turns out to be a problem with the SMS center number (smsc) using *#*#4636#*#* you can access the phone details and you need to update the smsc number to the appropriate number for your carrier. I was getting update error msgs when trying to update this, so the solution was to insert your sim into another phone (i used a blackberry, settings, sms,...). From what i've read part of the problem has to do with the old 34K sim cards.

Voicemail notification won't go away on the s3

My cousin has the international s3 and she told me that her voicemail notification won't go away even after checking everything. I searched the net and found a possible solution and told her to leave herself a message and then delete it. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Does anyone have a solution for this?
settings - app manager - all - phone - clear data.
If u reboot, must do it again!
The voice mail notifications require signals from the network to turn them on and off.
It could be a network issue

[SOLVED] Other Mobile Operator - SMS Problem - CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 - 22-03-2013

Hello to all, :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for my English.
First of all I would like to thank the developers for their hard work.
I have only one problem.
I have a GSM EVO 3D S-Off HBOOT 1.49.007, Root and the new [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 - 22-March-2013.
Everything works fine, also the videocamera (disabling HW Overlay) without 3D.
But I have a problem with sending SMS.
Text messages are not sent ever.
I think I understand the problem, but i ask for help even if it was addressed.
I have an Italian SIM, mobile operator "POSTEMOBILE."
"POSTEMOBILE" uses the Vodafone mobile network to serve its customers.
When the ROM CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 locks the mobile operator does not locks Postemobile but Vodafone.
In this way, when I try to send a text message, the phone number of the SMS center is not recognized by Vodafone and returns an error message to be sent.
It 'possible that the problem is this?
And 'possible to fix it?
Grazie a tutti.

SOLVED....
I found the solution by searching the various sites.
In particular, I had help from the site Androidiani.it.
The solution is simple.
When you install a ROM ICS or JB the SMS center number is lost.
In order to reset the number you must type a code on the keypad of the phone.
A hidden menu appears.
The code is *#*#4636#*#* (i think that works for all of android)
Now look for the string SMSC and enter the number of the SMS center of your mobile operator.
Apply this setting with the second button... and well done....
Now you can send SMS with ICS or JB...
Thanks to all...:fingers-crossed:

Try to do a reboot without SIM and again with the SIM.
Then redo the procedure with the code.
Worked for me the first time.
With Sprint I do not know if it works, try looking CDMA forum.

I called Sprint customer service, and they helped me to fix sms reception issue, by resetting something on their side. It looks like I am getting texts now.
how did you do?

I explained them I can send SMS, but I can't receive them. Btw, I integrated my Sprint # with Google Voice. Now I keep all my sms and voicemail in my google account. I even turned option to send me an email when sms arrives - you can do it with Google voice.
So, first step the Sprint customer service recommended was to clear all cache and data from all my applications which I use or ever used for sms/texting. I did it before though, and I told them it didn't help. Then, they recommended to delete all message treads, basically all your sms. I did. I didn't worry much about loosing them, because I backed up in "SMS Backup & Restore" app already. Then they asked me to take battery out, and while it was out, they reset (or sent) something on their side for my phone. When procedure was done on their server, they asked me to start my phone again. I did. They sent me test sms, and it worked!!! Now sms work well, and I even receive gmails upon their arrivals.
Not everything is so shiny though, I have a different problem: data drop, but this is a different story, and not resolved for me yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221579.
