If all else fails, backup your apps & data with Titanium/MyBackup Pro and backup all the contents of your SD card [that you want to keep] and reset to factory defaults. When you reboot after that, it should pull & apply the settings from your SIM card.

[Q] problem sms

got this problem,never happen before:
apex 1.1.2, frankokernel, baseband xxkl1 (been with this radio for a long time)
i can recive sms,but cant send enyone. in config is selected WCDMA preferred, and i cant change it.
always worked properly this service until 2day (nothing changed) and i dont think is provider related because reciving works grat. any advice?

Sounds like your SMSC number have been messed up. Search a little in this forum to find how to change it.
/Edit: Thnx to S7evinK
Getting the real SMSC for android is a bit tricky
1.) Find the SMS centre number of your carrier (e.g. for t-mobile DE -> +49 171 076 0000)
2.) go to http://twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
3.) Enter the SMS centre number in the field "SMSC" and clear receiver and the message "How are you?"
4.) Click on "Convert"
5.) On the right side you'll see something like (in my example)
0791947101670000110000910000AA00
the first two digits show you the length. (7)
6.) 7x2+2 = 16 (+2 cause of the length needed[?]); Mark 16 digits from the start of the number. (here 0791947101670000) Thats your SMSC Number.
Go back to
*#*#4636#*#*
first option, scroll down to "SMSC" and enter your SMSC, click the button directly next to the input field.
Leave this screen and go back to it. Scroll down to the SMSC section and click the right button. (if everything is correct, you should now see the correct SMSC number instead of "00")

[Q] add an area code to rejection list

is there a way to block an area code?
i keep getting a phone calls from the same area which i don't associate at all
and it's getting more and more annoying lately, get at least 3 calls from same area in a day
and hi, I'm new here

Open the Phone app.
Touch the Menu key to the left of the Home button and tap "Call Settings".
Tap "Call rejection".
Ensure that "Auto reject mode" is turned on.
Tap "Auto reject list".
Tap "Create".
Enter the area code in the Number field.
Tap "Match criteria".
Tap "Starts with".
Tap "Save".
NOTE: In order for this to work correctly, you must add the international dialing code and the country code in addition to the area code.
For example, if you wanted to block all calls from numbers with an area code of 866, you would need to put in +1866 in the Number field.
Going forward, the phone will automatically reject any phone calls from numbers beginning with the area code that you specified. Hope this helps, have a great day!

SMSC, PDU Encoder, I don't send mesage nexus 5

Hello. I get the message, but I cannot send. The message center number: +905598008000 please help me. SMSC part of what is to be entered? Thanks. Country:Turkey avea
I've accomplished, how is that? ı have nexus 5

Dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Information you can see the “SMSC: ” field.
Tip: DON’T PRESS UPDATE, PRESS “REFRESH” TO SEE THE CURRENT SETTING!!!
For example if actual SMSC number is: +447785016005, however inputting this into the field and hitting update just produces “update error”. The issue is that this needs to be translated into PDU format (Protocol Description Unit) and you can do that here:
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode.
For the number above, this turns out to be 0791447758100650
For some people, entering the PDU number above into your SMSC field in the testing menu and pressing “update” will have the desired effect but for me, the “update” button won’t work unless you have a “+” in front of the number which is no use at all.
The solution? Take the SIM card out and stick it in a non-android phone , go to the messageing app, settings, message centre number and enter the real number, i.e. +447785016005.
Save, exit, power off, replace SIM into Android phone, job done.
