I saw the old thread but it had no solution and was a year old wasn't sure if I shoulda bumped it. Anyway
I keep getting this error when receiving media messages. I got a lumia 900 last week, and it worked fine, swapped it out because it had a screen issue. Now this one gets that error every once in awhile. I just get a text telling me about it and I click it and nothing happens. I already went into AT&T and they checked my account, so it should be working. It took me about 15 retries to send one earlier too. ;(.
Anyone know the problem or solution?
I had this happen earlier this week and last week. I don't know why. I restarted my phone and still had the issue. I tried multiple times and finally got it to work.

Hi all,
have had my Desire for a couple of months now, well pleased with it. I have not in any way modified it other than installed some apps from market. This afternoon after lunch while it was in my Brodit car holder I suddenly noticed it was asking for PIN code. Entered it, fine. But then a couple of minutes later, same thing again. And again.
Just now I was typing an SMS to somebody and just before finishing screen blanks out, then the screen asking for PIN comes up.
What the heck?
Anybody who has had similar problems and knows what causes/caused them?
I haven't had the battery or sim card out or anything, it just suddenly started doing this.
Cheers

*edit*
I have tested switching off the phone, removing battery for a couple of mins then reinserting and rebooting, but same problem persists.
Wonderful, we're going on holidays in 2 days.... :'(
Well I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the problem was, tested with another SIM but same. Completely random, sometimes it would last half an hour sometimes not even a minute.
Did a clear storage/hard reset and after that all seems fine. Except for that my conversations were still there, but somehow if I get an sms from somebody now it's added to the wrong conversation. Then if I reply to it, it goes to the person in the conversation, not the person who sent the msg
Deleted all msgs now so should be sorted. Think a problem with all contacts syncing to and from Microsoft Outlook, it messed up all phone numbers like this:
46 2342423423
so no + and a space between country code and phone number. ANnoying as heck but haven't figured out if there's a setting in outlook or htc sync to solve this.

What ROM/Radio is it running?? is it unbranded??
I have no idea. Bought from Komplett here in Sweden, i.e. unbranded and unlocked. It's running what it came with since there haven't been any updates and I haven't the balls to start experimenting about with it
Strange, I just picked up my Desire today. I rooted it this evening and only noticed it happening after rooting it. I didn't run it for very long unrooted though, so I don't know if it's related. I wonder what's causing it.
maybe this helps:

Thanks but it goes to SIM lock rather than phone lock... like when you first switch on your phone. The phone doesn't reboot though, it just asks for the SIM pin all of a sudden, even when you're doing something on it.

i also had this problem (well more or less) for me it happened when my cellphone signal dropped to limited service (or no services at all) after the phone picks up a signal again its asks for a pin. you mind want to check this out aswell. i fixed this by going into the settings and fiddling around with network/mobile operator settings and such, soz i cant remember exactly, but this did the trick for me.
hope it helps.
I was going to take it back to the shop when I thought I'd try a different ROM first. I installed the OpenDesire 3.0.1 Froyo ROM last night and so far it hasn't done it yet. Maybe the official Froyo ROM won't have that problem either.

Hi
I've been having the same problem on my X10 Mini Pro for the last couple of days. To try and figure out what's causing this I've made a small app that checks the sim-status periodically. If it's not available or a pin-code is required for unlocking it the phone starts vibrating plus default notification-sound.
If you're fast you can check your device's LogCat with aLogCat (available from market). At least you'll get notified that you're unreachable
Since I have no Market-account yet you have to upload it to your phone manually with adb. Search google for a howto.
See attached file.
Hi!
Do you have Exchange 2010 sync?
Hi have the same porblem with LG Optimus 2x.

Hello! I don't know why but my phone started having this problem. It was out of nowhere. Well, maybe not, I've flashed my phone with the official mango update like two weeks ago, and it was working fine.
And today I saw that that I messages doesn't send out. I tried to call/text myself from other phone, and I couldn't. Phone displays gsm network name in phone hub, and also it shows full gsm connection bars(five of them), so you couldn't tell that something is wrong until you try to text or call. When you call the phone says "dialing..." but this shows forever and there's no sound from the speaker. It's worth mentioning that I've received few messages I've send to myself, but just about 2hours from sending, and then I tried to send a few more and haven't received those. Also, I've suceeded to call for a few times but after a long long wait(like at least 30sec) with the "dialing..." message shown. However, I cannot reach the phone when calling from my other phone.
I've tried to turn my phone on/off, to take the battery/sim card off, reseting the device, but none of these things helped. Then I've decided to flash my device. I've flashed my phone with DeepShining Mango custom ROM, and it seems to be working fine, but the problem still exists.
I don't know what else to do. And that's a major problem, because noone can call or text me. As I've said in the beginning, it was out of the sudden, I haven't done anything to my phone. Just yesterday I was using my phone normally, texted and called with no problem.
So I'm asking yours, guys, help. Could you please suggest what I could do? Thank you very much!
P.S. I've bought this phone from second hand and it was unlocked, but it has an orange logo on the battery cover, so I suppose it was locked to orange.
Did you pay your bill?
I have a prepaid card.
Ok, do you have a another SIM to test
I really have tried to avoid posting but I'm really not sure what to attempt next. I've been through a few threads on the XDA as well as trawled Google but I've not really come up to much.
Basically my One X has been fine since I got it up until the last couple of weeks, I'm not entirely sure if that coincided with a software update or any other changes I could have made but I never seemed to have a problem initially.
I've been using GO SMS since I got the phone, but having just re-installed the app to no avail and having just tried the exact message within a 60 second window through the standard messager it still did not send. This has happened in alternative locations too, so it doesn't appear to be signal based on where I am. After the 4th attempt and the message would not send I put my phone into Airplane mode to reactivate the sim, after doing so and turning it off the message sent.. So it might even be network related.. I've no idea! I've removed the sim card and left it for a few minutes to see whether when it's reinserted if there is still a problem, failing that though I am out of ideas!
Just for your reference I am with Vodafone, totally stock phone as it comes out of the box running the updated 1.29.401.11 software
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, AT&T HOX, stock 1.73.502 rom, completely un-modded.
You are not alone my friend.
So I wanted to see if somebody would provide me with the settings they have for the SMSC. Starting this morning I was no longer able to send text messages and I know its not an issue with a ROM or anything because I Odin'd back to factory and I am still having the issue. This isn't the first time I have had an issue with a GNex not being able to text and I had to take my old one back to the store and get a replacement because they were unable to fix. I think I stumbled upon my problem/solution and was hoping that somebody from this great community would help me out. Could somebody do the below and paste what settings they have or give a screenshot. THANKS in advanced.
Open Dialer
Type the following sequence *#*#4636#*#*
Open Phone Information
Well for starters, My first Gnex had this issue a few days after receiving it, approximately one month ago. This morning I noticed I was once again unable to send or receive text messages. Up till now, I have been stock with root. I have been scouring pages and forums trying to find more info on this problem.
Unfortunately the farthest I have gotten is a wiki page on Cyanogenmod that goes through the process of updating your SMSC based on your Carrier's Gateway Number and putting it into PDU format. You can fidn the gage here.
To make it worse, as I thought I was going to be able to manually update it and get SMS back up, i still receive update error.
To make matters worse, for the past four days calls drop out every four to six minutes regardless of coverage. Not just on my line, but my wife's and my sister's lines as well. However they have not been able to reproduce any SMS problem like the one I have once again come across. I'm pretty close to dropping Sprint even if I've got a year left on contract.
Thanks for the reply. When I went to update or refresh the smsc I would get an error as well. This is my second GNex and really frustrated by it. I ended up odin'ing back to factory to and called sprint. they had me re-activate the phone *#*#72786#*#* then a few minutes later it started working again...
Well at least you were able to get yours working again. I've performed several resets via the 72786 menu to no avail. I went to a store today, to see them try it themselves, and eventually reactivate it. After seeing my problem was the same as the last, They decided to order a new/refurb phone. If this doesn't work out I plan on going back to my Evo 4G or just dropping my line on Sprint.
Well last night the modem died completely, this is some bull****. Can't connect to any sprint towers, makes me wish I still had my old phone. With 3 lines I just cant spend that much money to leave sprint.

I completely understand the cost of leaving sprint. I'm in the same boat with three lines as well. I have read up that in many cases an etf can be waived by returning the phone.
I am currently waiting for a new nexus to get shipped out here. If this third one doesn't hold up I'm going to have some bickering to do with account services. The other two lines are only experiencing dropped calls every few minutes and after talking with several reps, there is ongoing maintenance in my area.
What I want to know is why can't the smsc number be updated. And then why after wiping system and data and then flashing stock, that the smsc still cannot be updated. Something about the smsc cant be updated or there's a read error, corrupted sector, i dunno. I feel like I have exhausted everything I can think and tried everything I can. Not to mention this problem seems relatively isolated.

Hello, I don't know if anyone is having my problem, since the beginning of this month, my messaging app keeps disconnecting, here is what happens:
I dont receive any message so I go to the messaging app and it says "Signed In (Available)", when I swipe to the left to see who is online, it appears "Checking who is online" and on the top I see "connecting", after a few moments it gets connected.
When I lock my phone and I return a few minutes later, it happens again, its like only when I am going to use the app, it gets connected.
The weird thing is that this started happening at about the same time for me in a Lumia 900 and to my wife on a Lumia 710.
Rebooting the phone wont work because after a couple of minutes the issue starts again, the only thing that helps is in the Lumia 900 Hard reboot and on the Lumia 710 battery removal, after a complete reboot it stays working for 5 or 6 hours before the disconnection starts appearing again.
So I don't think its a phone issue, I guess its a services issue but I wouldn´t know if the problem is from my operator or from microsoft itself.
Hi. I am using the Lumia 900 in Canada and I've been experiencing the same thing. At first I thought it was because I was connected to FB chat as well. Turning it off did not help. Hopefully we can find a reason and fix it soon.
Again

Hey, "glad" to hear I am not alone.
Yesterday I upgraded my wifes Lumia 710 to WP 7.8 and the problem apeeared again, so I am thinking it may be an installed app, could you tell me if you have any of the apps I have installed so far:
Whatsapp
Lumos
Viber
UC Browser
Al the other apps are already installed during the upgrade
