Recently, received my Elephone S8. Feels great and seems super fast. I put my old SIM card from my old galaxy phone into the Elephone and then contacted Verizon to restore my SIM card, which was retired, but they re-flashed it. Now when I open my Elephone I have the message "com.mediatek.ims.lmsApp has stopped" I have the option to close the app but the message just reappears. Verizon had told me I may have to turn my phone off and on several times and that I may not be able to make or receive phone calls for up to 24 hours. Now I'm no techno genius but from my research it looks like I need to do something to the phone to receive 4G. So any help I an get would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, an update to my above problem. I no longer have the issue of my the com.mediatek.ims.lmsApp has stopped. Last night I had put the sim card into the number 2 slot. So I notice I have a voice message, I click on the message and I can hear the phone dialing the number and then its just dead air. Tried calling my wife same thing. I also notice the icons at the top of the screen don't say anything about 4G or even 3G. I'm able to get on Instagram, Facebook, and my emails, but no phone calling.
Try replacing the default dialer app.

Hi all,
Looking for a bit of help/advice.
On occasions, probably between 1-3 times a day, when I try to make a call on the Hero, the call appears to look like it is dialing out but it just sits there saying 'dialing' but never connects to the destination which can be any UK number / Orange 150 etc. Either rebooting the phone or leaving it for 10 mins or so fixes the problem, but it does become annoying!
At the same time as this happening, when I try to send an SMS, I get the error 'SMS not able to send' in the notification bar. Again, I have to keep trying and it sorts itself out.
A final problem and I am not sure if it is related or not is I have had numerous people try calling me at various times, my phone doesn't ring or display a missed call, nor do I get a missed call SMS but the person who tried calling me said the line was actually ringing first and then went through to voicemail. I have witnessed this myself by calling my phone, getting a ringing line but the phone doesn't respond?
Any ideas of help would be appreciated. This problem has existed on Modaco Roms 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 - I'm on Orange UK.
Thanks,
Nick
I have the same problem with the Orange Poland. When I logged on to the 3G sometimes you can not call or send SMS. When I switch to the 2G network problem disappears.
Yeah, it is strange, I have done that too, turn off the 3G to 2G and back to 3G which sometimes cures it, but not all the time.
I've tried various things, made sure the apps aren't closed with Taskkiller or anything like that. There is no specific time or occasion it happens, it just does now and again.
Well I have tried everything. I recieved all the settings from my operator , changed over 10 ROMs and gone back to the original too, i tried what you said to turn 3G off , i reset to factory , i unrooted.....Nothing works for me. I just get "Unable to send". I also tried 4 SIMs from different operators !!!
I recently have this weird problem.
There is one of my business contact phone number. If I dialed her number, my phone got disconnected from the network, then force close the phone window will pop up, then a message saying my SIM card got removed. Or, if not all those error messages pop up, the phone will just stay as black screen and have to restart the phone.
If I call the other numbers, everything is fine. If I use the other ppl's phone to call her, it is fine as well. I have to call her at this number. It really annoyed me. Any help is much appreciated!
I am running on stock rom, Froyo, never rooted before, Telus Fascinate 3G.
Anybody know what would cause this? My girlfriend just switched over to Tmobile and got the Alcatel Fierce 2 phone. Her text messages and other notifications are extremely delayed.
The weird part is, even Hangouts messages are extremely delayed on wifi. All of the notifications come in at once every hour or two. I thought maybe it was an issue with the sim but that wouldn't explain push notifications coming in through wifi.
What is going on with this thing? We've tried factory resetting it, we've had them "refresh" the sim card, and we even changed the phone number for that account thinking that maybe transfering a number from a previous carrier was causing problems. Any help would be appreciated! Its running 4.4.2

I noticed during the set up it asked me questions I did't really know the answer to and in all the confusion I noticed I changed the network type to WCDMA. I did alot of troubleshooting and found that T Mobile only uses GSM so this is why my messages and calls weren't working. I hope this helps. The phoen still runs kind of slow but after experimenting I now know this is the cause of the delayed messages and missed calls.
so ive had my k7 for a while now, and every now and again i wouldnt be able to receive any sms messages. i could send them, but i could not receive them. they would all come flooding in at once. today, it stopped working completely. i cannot recieve any messages whatsoever. not even from myself. ive tried to use teh mmi codes, but i always get an error message. when i go to my service providers, i cannot search for any networks, yet if i hit auto connect, it says i am connected to the network. ive even tried putting the sim card into someone elses phone. it would take forever to send the messages, but it would work, and i could receive messages when my sim card was in their phone. i am at a loss and getting kind of desperate. i have even flashed the phone back to its origional state, updated the firmware, yet the issue persists. i don't know if this could affect anything, but just in case it does, i have amplify and ive disabled a lot of the t mobile wakelocks and google play wakelocks. i also have apps2sd, and linked my t mobile app and messages app to my sd card. i dont use the stock messasging app, because whenever i try and use it, it is incredibly slow at sending messages. i live a little over a block away from the nearest cell tower, so connectivity isnt an issue. is my sim card damaged or have i messed something up? any help would be greatly appriceated.
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!
