Hello everybody. I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with this problem. I do run XDAndroid FRX04 on my Touch Pro (Raphael). I can't send SMS at all. Whenever i try to send SMS, i got a (Message not sent error).
I have navigated for a solution for this, i found one concerning the message center. I entered *#*#4636#*#* on the phone application and typed the message center, but it always gives (update error)
Some others wrote that i have to exchange my SIM card. I didn't try this yet hoping you can help me.

I have the same error, I found that if you enter in APN settings and activate "use only 2G networks" (perhaps you have to enter briefly in configure APN, no need to wait to found them, to activate it) sms go through correctly.
Which service provider? If you are getting an update error, it's possible that your service provider has blocked you from using Android. I think someone was saying that some service providers have disabled this. Wouldn't be a first, I'm sure...

Thanks for your reply. But the (Use only 2G networks) is dimmed.
You will have to go one level further or down and then back up one level to be able to enable or diable 2G/3G

My service provider is Vodafone Egypt. What is going to make me crazy is that my fried have the same model, have the same service provider and i am the one who gave him the XDAndroid and SMS service is working fine on him mobile
So it worked out of box for him? You should try the same with your phone. Put his microSD in your phone and see if it still works. I would also mention a word of caution and have him(or you) make a copy/backup the contents of that microSD just in-case.

You explained it better
The strange thing is that it's never ticked regardless how many times I activate the option. It makes SMS work though, so I think it's just because it makes the phone re-config sms center.
I don't have data plan so not sure if it really works, forcing the use of 2G nets only.

I am afraid to make it malfunction at his device also , he might kill me. Well, i tried to disable the 2G/3G network, but the problem still exist. Any suggestion !!!
You could hand him your microSD since it worked out of box? Or did it?

I don't know if it's going to be an issue eventually, i can still receive calls and make them, however, when i look in the settings. My number doesn't appear.
when i go in the information menu *#*#4636#*#* my number is blank as well.

I have the same exact issue. *shrugs* someone at t-mobile said it was okay. I work for sprint, it doesn't sound right to me. Keep me updated and I'll keep you updated.

Mine is showing then phone number, do you have the updated sim card? And are you running a custom ROM?
if ur # isnt showing im guessing its something to do with sim card
Well they changed my SIM card when i bought the phone. That's all i can say, it's a different sim, the chip itselft is half the size than it used to be.

It won't cause any issues but it does have to do with the sim card. My phone says the same thing and has a new sim card as well. Call customer care and see if tech support has an answer for this.

Was the same for me (Telus). Some googling revealed that CM7 had a GUI option that could update the SIM card so I flashed that on my old Desire, put the SIM in it and set the phone number. Swapping the SIM back into the SG2X now correctly shows the phone number under My Number.
My number didn't show until I called a T-mo CSR and had them get rid of that blasted "web guard" crap. I noticed my number showed up sometime after the CSR intructed me to reboot and the 4hrs they said to wait for changes to take effect.

I purchased a Galaxy s3 on ebay, SGH-i747 AT&T. ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM
I used the sim from my old phone and chopped it down, everything worked except MMS. Here is what I've done to try to resolve the issue in order. I searched around the forums and many of the solutions that have been posted were for other types of phones or carriers, the rest didn't work for me.
1. I disabled some of the apps in the stock rom (I haven't flashed a new ROM)
2. I went to an AT&T store and got a micro sim to see if this would resolve it, nope...
3. Installed "SIM Info" from the play store and it shows "SIM Operator Name: Unknown" and "Network Operator Name: Unknown". I have another active AT&T phone (S2 with Paranoid) and SIM Info on it shows "AT&T" where the S3 shows "Unknown". Wondering if this might be the issue, but how can I fix that?
4. I checked the APN and all seems in order, I even copied the APN settings from my other phone. When I go into the network operators and search, no search option comes up, just a grayed out "default settings" thing. I'm not sure if this is normal for a stock ROM.
5. I rooted the phone and put TWRP and SuperSU on it.
6. Installed gApps (first I put on the JB edition by mistake lol, but I fixed that).
Also, I'm not sure if this is a stock rom thing, but the signal bar is always gray, not sure if it is supposed to go blue or not. I do get indicators that 4G is connecting when trying to send MMS. So what can I do? I don't want to install a new ROM on this phone because it is for my wife, but out of the box with the stock ROM MMS isn't working. Is this something that I need to take into the AT&T store and just tell them it is broken and hope they have a solution?

Does not send. Eventually fails, and I can't see any error message.
Does not receive, the download button is there, but it never downloads.
No one receives any MMS from this phone, nor any kind of indicator that a message has been sent from it.
Stock MMS and third party app (handscent) both act the same.

Any ideas? Would logs help? Where can I find them?
You chopped down the sim? As in you cut a big sim down to size?
That might be your problem...

As mentioned, I got a new sim from AT&T after I cut the old SIM down to the micro size and the problem is still there. However, I cannot rule out the SIM being the issue, since SIM Info shows the newtwork operator info as "Unknown". So I guess I should go to the carrier again and get another SIM? Internet, SMS and calls work great on it, just MMS fails. Very puzzling...

there's your problem. It doesn't communicate with google servers (grey vs blue). a little google search (or xda search) will give you the ''how to fix''. Just last week, I made a post about it here but can't remember the solutions specificly.

Ok cool, I thought it should be blue... Is this the thread you are talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102674
If so, your steps are as follows...
BWolf56 said:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

I'm not sure if this will help, but I will give it a try. I am able to open all of the google apps including the play store and gmail and they are synced up correctly. The calendar seems to be having issues though, so it might also be related. Will this correct the SIM Info message of unknown network?
I tried Step 1 and 2, both passed fine, signal still gray, and still no MMS.
I am reluctant to do a hard reset, only because it is my wife's phone, and she gets annoyed when having to get her wall papers n stuff again. lol I might tell her to just deal with it at this point though. However, pending step 3, if it still doesn't work, and the SIM card still shows unknown network, what options are left? Go to the carrier?
Possible that the phone is bad, maybe that's why the seller sold it, knowing it was a bunk phone. Worst case you can send it in for warranty. Curious, are either of the water marks on the phone pink? My wife dropped a phone in the bath a while back and started having issues with the SIM randomly not being recognized and then not having data (it wasn't her s3,I think it was a vivid.)

Carrier will either factory reset your phone or give you another SIM. One last thing I can think of is that your MMS are blocked (not in your contract). So that could be something to check with your carrier (or on contract).

I doubt it's the case here as everything else but MMS works. A damaged SIM or connector won't only block those and let the rest work :silly:

Just speaking from experience, I've seen it happen first hand... voice and sms will gimp over a connection sans data, mms on the other hand won't. It was confirmed that the issue my wife had with her phone was a shorted out contact point in the SIM tray. Additionally, the op said he cut down the original SIM, it's possible he didn't do something right and physically damaged something.
I work in an profession that requires me to trouble shoot issues constantly, I learned long ago never to assume that something, regardless of how silly or implausible it may seem, May not be the culprit... we know a few facts...
the phone was purchased second hand.
The SIM card was cut and the phone is not correctly reporting the status of the SIM.
SIM has been replaced, not correcting the issue.
Apn settings have been verified.
No factory reset has been performed.
Now, SIM cards and trays can be very finicky, I have seen a couple phones with bad SIM ports... the issue the op is having may not be related to water damage, but I have seen it happen and there is no reason to discount it until verified.

Are you sure it isn't an APN issue? You might want to go into Settings -> Mobile Networks -> and Network Operators and run a search. Then you can check the APN to make sure it is set correctly for MMS.

True, if it's Straight Talk, you'll need to manually add the MMS APN. I have to do this with pretty much any phone I use, though some ROMs will include ST APN settings.
Thank you all for your input. I'm going to do a factory reset on the phone tonight (if she'll ever get off of the damn thing! lol) and I'll post an update after that. If the SIM still reports that the network is unknown, I'll get a replacement SIM. If it still doesn't work, I'll go on the hunt for a SIM port replacement, but first things first. thanks again, I'll be updating shortly.
Oh, and it hasn't gotten wet, at least the indicators don't show that it has.

Check APN's before factory reset.

Funny, MMS suddenly started working, both outgoing and incoming, but SIM Info still shows network operator unknown. :S I'm afraid that this issue is going to come back... I'm still leaning toward going into an AT&T store and getting a third SIM...
Hello my name is Stanley, I recently bought a Galaxy Note 2, I'm from the Dominican Republic so I'm using Claro Dominicana, which uses the same baseband as AT&T, basically instead of the signal bar, I get a circle with a straight line on it, I don't have data, I can't make calls, I can't send sms, when I try to call I get no network access message, I believe it does recognize sim because I don't get any type of error when my cellphone boots up, when I bought this cellphone it wasn't rooted, so I decided to root it and flash a rom, I'm having same issues.
Can you guys help me out please? I already have my APN information but it's not helping, I've tried flashing roms and it's not helping, I really don't know what to do, when I first bought it, I tried my sim out and it did have internet, I decided to do a factory reset through settings menu and after that I haven't been able to get any type of signal, I would deeply appreciate your help guys, I'm getting kind of desperate here.
No signal bars means no modem or a sim card for a dead account. Did you pay for any airtime?

i don't know if this might be an issues or not, but check your IMEI. T-Mobile webpage has a method to confirm if it been blocked or not.
http://www.t-mobile.com
As of August 8th of 2013, they've re-designed their webpage.
http://www.t-mobile.com/bring-your-own-phone.html
following that link, scroll down until you see this: "Don’t see your device?" and under that, a search box. click on the link below that search box. it'll bring up a screen within the webpage. input the IMEI from your phone (*#06#) and avoid adding "/ ##" as those aren't part of the IMEI. If it report as stolen, chances are, they probably blocked it. If not, then maybe your provider doesn't support the phone itself. you might have to call customer service from your area.

Try a friends sim card to rule that out
If the phone worked on your network before you rooted and flashed the new rom, then I imagine you must have flashed an incompatible modem. If you flashed stock back via Odin and that didn't fix it, I'm scratching my head. Try stock again. Then remove and insert the sim or toggle airplane mode. If it worked before, stock should fix it.

Hello, I am new here but have intermediate experience with devices.
Alright time to throw everyone for a loop lol, hopefully someone can help me out.
Here is my problem:
My phone is not connected to a network.
Here is what I have:
Samsung Galaxy S III with Metro PCS (NOT rooted, and with latest PRL and software updates)
What happened:
I woke up yesterday to find my phone not on Metros network, and not on a partner network. My 4G still works though, I can access internet but just can not call/txt or receive either.
In Settings > About Device > Status, here are some of the satus'...
Network: Searching for Service
Signal Strength: -93dBm 47asu
Mobile Network Type: LTE:14
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
My Phone Number: Unknown
Min: Unknown
PRL Version: 0
Things I've Done So Far:
Contacted Metro through phone support and Facebook support, neither could help fix the problem.
Took my phone into a Metro store and they wont honor a repair since my screen has a hairline crack in the screen. (which I will also say, they noted that already on my account...)
I've already went to *#22745927 and enabled the hidden menu multiple times (cause it disables with each restart) and I've went to **772 to view my MDN and MSID (MIN) and the MDN shows nothing and MSID has a 10 digit number (that's not the right number for my account), so I tried to edit them to the numbers that I know are correct and after I hit done, the phone restarts but then when it comes back on, nothings changed, and when viewing **772 again, the numbers don't save in the fields.
I know *#197328640# lets you access the service menu, but I don't really feel like touching any of that and making things worse (unless someone knows how to fix this issue through the service menu then ill do it)
Now that my long winded speech is done, its your turn to try and solve this dilemma and help me out please
I hope this is the right section to post in, sorry if it is not.
Thanks in advance to any help ^^ if anyone's got any other questions, ill try to answer them best as I can.

I know *#197328640# lets you access the service menu, but I don't really feel like touching any of that and making things worse (unless someone knows how to fix this issue through the service menu then ill do it)
Now that my long winded speech is done, its your turn to try and solve this dilemma and help me out please
I hope this is the right section to post in, sorry if it is not.
Thanks in advance to any help ^^ if anyone's got any other questions, ill try to answer them best as I can.

Did you IMEI change? Check if it's 004999010640000
1.) Wrong forum. You have a US Version of the S3. Not the international... Ask a mod to move it.
2.) Don't quote the WHOLE OP. Especially if you're the first flipping person to reply!

I'll bump it once more, since its now been moved to the correct forum.
The IMEI question is still relevant, is it intact? But from what your saying it sounds like you have the old metro s3 model, meaning it's a cdma device not gsm like ours. You probably need to be in Sprints forum as their fixes for this kind of problem will likely be different than ours. I can already tell your dialer codes are different....

First of all thanks for posting
and the IMEI is fine and is there.
I got the GS3 from Metro the first day it came out.
Ok, it's probably the SCH-R530? model. Since T-Mobile bought metro they now have the SGH-T999N. The original one for them was a variant of Sprints if I remember right.
I'd just copy your OP here into a new thread there. They'll probably be better able to help than most people here.
