[Q] Running backup rom(4.0.4) and cannot send MMS - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

:cyclops:mE<<<Noob, I rooted the GS3 a while back and made a back up of the original stock rom (4.0.4) via CWM, the back up contained my old mobile number which brings me to my three part questions. I am running the back up rom with my old info, will this affect my multi media messages, I send them out but apparantly my contacts say they never received the messages. Text's are fine, and I'm able to receive the MMS and text's. Secondly the annoying prompt of SYSTEM UPDATE, keeps poping out, which I pressume wants to update to Jelly Bean and will take root away, right? Lastly before doing anythig is it recomended to run Chainfire's Triangle Away before flashing to the Official OTA rom (in case I have no alternatives? :highfive:Thank you, and again any advice is welcomed. :good:

[Q] Need options for odd situation

Okay, so this may get a little long winded. I used to have an incredible but gave it to my GF when I upgraded to my Thunderbolt. I was rooted so I have been flashing the new versions of stock as they were released. She is on the latest build of Gingerbread, and it was working fine since I flashed it. However she has been getting the stupid low disk space error (even though she's got 6 gigs free on both internal and external storage). I am currently away on business for two months, and she needs to get this problem addressed. Well this morning she can no longer receive text messages. So I told her to kiss her stuff goodbye, and had her wipe data/cache and reinstall the newest stock rom. She still can't receive text messages. What are my options? I don't know if I could walk her through how to get back to stock (un rooted for the OTA), she isn't very computer literate and doesnt have ADB on her laptop. Anyone have any suggestions? Would going unrooted and getting the official update even help? Can I just send her an RUU in zip form to flash back to stock? She's freaking out, thus making my life horrible. Any help is really appreciated.

Well, my gf has a HTC Desire, which has 147MB set aside for app data, and she started getting this with just two Market apps installed...an issue that plagues that device. This was on 2.2!
I rooted her phone, and since she had all of her contacts as Phone contacts, the size it took up was over 87MB. I moved all of her contacts to Google, cleared the Contacts cache, re-synced Google, and her low storage warnings went away. I also stopped Facebook from syncing contact information as well. So now she is able to install more apps, and the issues haven't come back since.
I realize that this is a different phone, but maybe if she has a lot of phone contacts, and those are syncing up with FaceBook, could be causing issues?
I thought that too, so after she wiped and reinstalled the ROM I had her not set up Facebook. Another interesting thing, she can send all the texts she wants, but still cant receive any. I don't know what to tell her...

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.0 Texting error 34

I recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod from the vanilla android of my Sprint S3. I've had no issues with it since I've gotten it running until suddenly today it refuses to send text messages. It receives them just fine but for some reason refuses to send? I found another thread on this but it just confused me more and seemed to be talking about non CDMA phone (an Italian Evo 3d) and it doesn't make sense for my issue... yet it seems to be the same.(Reference)
Synopsis:
1. I could send and receive fine for an entire week til today.
2. I can still receive texts but cannot send them.
3. Sometimes it will send a single text through? That could just be a fluke.
4. Turning it off and back on didn't help.
5. It says Error Message 34
Thanks!
Try fixing permissions in CMW

You could try fixing permissions, or backing up your current ROM, flash a touchwiz stock one (rooted of course), and updating your profile/prl. If that doesn't work use the ##7282# or something like that (look it up please, I can't remember the code right now) in the touchwiz ROM. Those may fix it.
Don't forget to backup!

Well shoot. I did everything, backed up and all. On the stock rom I got everything working normally. I then went into CWM recovery and installed Cyanogenmod 10.0 again. And lo and behold, I can only send messages if they're 1 page. Anything more than that and it gets an Error 34: Network not responding. I don't know what to do? Could it be Cyanogenmod? Because that seems oddly specific...
Thoughts?
Since you can send single-page texts, it's probably a setting in the messaging app. In my messing app, there's an option to spilt messages, maybe try that.

No setting for that in my messaging system :\ I'm using the stock Cyanogenmod 10 one, should I consider a different system?
Well, I just installed a more recent Nightly from CM and everything is working. Irony at its finest: The "Stable" mod has problems and the nightly is flawless.
Thanks for everything! (I hit that Thumbs Up for you!)

I have not yet... the update to 10.2 screwed up and ( opr I screwed it up ) and when I tried rebooting back to 1.2 it lost everything like I never had anything setup.. even titanium can't find by backups.. Im gonna try and clean phone out completly and start from scratch... do you know if I should use Kies? or search another way ?? I just don't wanna do the first thing I read and ruin anything...
Well, were you on 4.1.2 before you tried to go to CM 10.2?
Its important to know whether you were on 4.1.2 or had upgraded to 4.3 using the update sprint sent out.
Never did sprint update. Never asked me to. Thats why I wanted to goto stock, update, then do 10.2 but my stock won;t let me load, tried again last night, just errors. Before end of day I am going to verify drop box has my pics and stuff in my internal sd and intend on doing a hard reset, or wipe or watever and start fresh. I am just curios if root will be lost not that that is a huge deal, but when I first rooted it took me quite a bit of tries.

[Q] Messages not being received until I turn on screen or initiate a text

I'm currently running on Wicked 9.1
I figured it had something to do with the baseband firmware, so I used Odin and flashed the M919UVUMK2 modem.bin, did a full data wipe & factory reset. Re installed it, found I had a problem with SuperUser, so after poking and prodding the phone is looking to be everything it needs to. I ran RootChecker and it passed, and looked at the baseband version which says M919UVUMK2.
Is there any information anyone can provide as to why my SMS is a little screwy? We're takling, 5 texts come in at once from the other person when I ask them what's up, like their messages don't go through until I send something first. I even tested it with my own phone number. Currently switching to Infamous 4.4 v3 to see if issues persist.

Rooted, flashed CM11, not receiving texts

Hi all,
I recently rooted my SPH-l710 that was updated to 4.3 using this method: http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-sprint-sph-l710.html
Everything worked well and then I flashed the CM11 ROM (snapshot) and again, everything was working well, I could make calls, send and receive text messages and had mobile data. This afternoon, I found out that I had not been receiving text messages, I could send them and people received them, but when they replied, they never came) through on my end. I rebooted, nothing changed, then I did a factory data reset, again, same issue. Then I flashed this stock ROM (deodexed): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541900 and still had the issue. After installing the stock ROM, I updated the PRL profile and I'm still having the issue. At this point, I have no idea what else I can do the fix this issue and I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Did u try reflashing the modem? If that doesn't work its something on sprints end.

I'm shocked that root method even worked for you...did you update your profile as well and then reboot the phone when on stock rom? might wanna get back on the stock rom and try...other things you may wanna try when all else fails, reflash back to completely stock 4.3 which you can do by using my guide in my sig for bricked phones, which you're gonna need to do if you have to go to sprint for it, they won't touch it rooted
I did not try flashing modem, I was under the impression that the modem deals with data and since I had no problems there I didn't bother with it. I did try rebooting after going back to stock rom, but that didn't help. When I first installed cm11 I was having problems with getting Google Voice to work, but I restored the back up a CM 11 when I first installed it and tried google voice again. This time it works and I'm able to send and receive text messages and access voicemail through the app so as long as I don't come across any more issues I'm happy with how it is now. I appreciate all the pointers and if I ever have to go back to stock, I'll refer to this post, thanks.
