I have been getting sms fail texts on my GT-S5660M. Bell says it is not the network. Samsung said it isnt the phone. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? It is driving me nuts. I have to go into airplane mode and back out of it to send them
Have you tried another SMS applicatied than the original?
Something like GO SMS.
Consider a full wipe too or another rom, if you're still with sotck one.

Have you flashed any ROMs on your device? What is your current ROM? I myself have a GT-S5660M, so feel free to message me! I can send you the Canadian baseband which you can flash with Odin. I will walk you through the process!
May b Message Centre number has changed.
Try to set it back in ...

Hi,
last night this problem just came out of nowhere. I was texting and calling fine like hour before I noticed it happen, but whenever I try to call it hangs up, and whenever I try to text it tells me to try again when service is available. On the lock screen it tells me "Emergency Calls Only", but sometimes it shows "Virgin" I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada, but still doesn't work. I've tried the following:
1. Pulling out battery and putting it back in.
2. Nandroid restore to when I first rooted it, and when it was working fine.
3. Take out SIM card, battery, and memory stick
4. Putting it into airplane mode and disabling airplane mode about 30 seconds later.
5. Unrooted to original Bell Stock Rom image from a thread and now have normal recovery
6.Data/factory reset
The only thing I do have a possible lead on is that yesterday I created a recovery tar file, from a recovery image I got from cwm website under AT&T, thought it was also for Bell (Model wise) as well, so don't know if that's the case, does that have to do with anything? I'm back to stock recovery and rom and from a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and downloaded the Bell/Virgin image, and flashed with Odin, I am back to stock, but still did not fix issue. It says Virgin on the top sometimes, and sometimes back to "Emergency calls only" could the recovery flash have changed radio or something? I also did do a restore before I flashed the new recovery and when phone was being normal just before unrooting but that also didn't work. Now I am unrooted and not on custom recovery. But still no service. Most of the time the service is 1 bar, but even when it's on 5 for like 10 seconds, it still doesn't work. Is it me or my carrier? I also noticed that even when the signal shows full strength it tells me "Emergency Calls Only". Thanks for the help.
I'd call Virgin and ask if your service was interrupted for any reason.
Yeah I'm going to do that, but I just looked at the IMEI number on the back of the phone, and looked at it in settings, but it did not match the number it had at the back. It just says 0 in the phone settings. Does that have anything to do with it? I wanna know if this is has anything to do with that first before calling.
EDIT: Okay so I did some research and yes that is apparently the problem, so I rerooted to custom recovery, and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 my IMEI is back, and matches, and it says "Virgin" now at the top of my lockscreen, but still, I can't send messages or call. Did the deleting of IMEI also delete something else I should restore? Or is it something on their side? I am connected to Virgin Mobile, but the connection is extremely weak, and does not complete any calls or texts. There's also "IMEI SV" under settings and it says "01" is that an issue?
EDIT 2: Nevermind I just had to follow post 3 after fixing IMEI in that thread I linked and it worked! In case you researched and got here. Follow thread I linked up.

The thread was remove to avoid illegal problem. You'll most likely have to look somewhere else to recover your IMEI if flashing stock firmware doesn't fix it.
When my phone boots up, it tries to do a "Hands-Free Activation"; it fails and then says "internal error 1500." I still have service and can make calls, but I can't use mobile data or use the internet. I need to fix this. Any help?
Bump, need help on this issue as well.
I'm on sprint version, I'd mistakenly pushed a N7100 Note 2 rom instead of the 900 sprint model, and even with a complete restore of the stock rom, mobile data is borked.
Same issue here any fix's yet ?

I have seen several posts that users have installed Handcent SMS (free) from Play Store to get around this issue.

^^agreed, Its a crappy problem but without looking at your particular phone i'd never be able to solve it. If a google version of sms doesn't bother you then go for it.

i already tried, but no luck.. im thinking about gps.conf and the boot images..
hi1 jason kernel shows an option in mobile networks to choose mobile network.. thunder kernel.. doesnt..
So stupid me was fooling around in the *#197328604# menu and I accidentally screwed up my IMEI number (whoops my bad. not going in there again). After watching a YouTube video (Found via Googling), I managed to restore it (It now once again matches the IMEI on the bottom of the phone's box). However, I still have no cell service.
1. When I have the phone on the lock screen, it says "Emergency Calls Only". From time to time it may also say "Invalid SIM" or something along those lines.
2. When I look for mobile services (Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks), it pops up an error, "Insert SIM card to access network services", even though the SIM card is inserted.
3. Sending a text message fails. It just says it will wait with it until a network is available.
4. Placing phone calls fail. "Not registered on network"
5. The phone can read the SIM though. Going to the Contacts, and going to Import/Export has the SIM card options, and nothing goes wrong when selecting them.
Where can I go from here? I've cleared the Dalvik Cache to no avail as well. It almost works, so I think it's software related, or perhaps my SIM is malfunctioning, but I want to exhaust every possibility before going back and saying "my phone is acting wonky".
Have you tried a factory reset? If that fails, you might need to reflash the ROM.

Yeah. Resetting it failed. I can't get past the setup. After skipping WiFi setup, I just get a black screen and nothing shows. I may have to do a stock reflash. If that too fails, I may see if I can bring it in.
Edit: Stock reflash failed to fix it as well. Gonna bring it back and get it replaced.
Edit 2: Got a replacement SIM, didn't fix the problem. Seems it's hardware based (or software). Is it possible to remove all traces of a root before sending it in to make it appear unmodified?

It's not *#197328604#, it should be *#197328640#

I've recovered from doing the exact same thing. It will take a lot of trial and error. What network are you on?
Ok so I did a ton of stuff to my phone like rooting, flashing different ROMS, but in the end I want to get my phone back to stock, so I flashed the stock firmware with LG Flash Tool but now I can't call anyone and incoming comes don't come through. I just get a "out of service area" after a while whenever I try calling someone. Texting works and internet works, and so does Wifi. Also, my time is 3 hours fast when it's set to automatic in the settings. I don't know why it's doing this. And my IMEI is 0. Here are some pictures of my settings. One more thing. Since I flashed the stock, in my android devices, Google doesn't recognize my old device anymore. It treats this phone like a new device now. Weird... Anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Oh and when I try to update my phone it gives me this: "Your phone is not registered yet"
So many problems, I'm so sad

Do you have a EFS backup? Your IMEI is 00000000000000.... That's NOT the way it should be. Maybe the network provider blocks you from using the network because of an invalid IMEI (don't know for sure) but since you reflashed Stock ROM i don't think it's modem related...
I think I fixed it! I just used the kdz method of going back to stock instead of the tot/dll method and it fixed my problems! I got it from this thread if anyone else has the same problem:
