Hey guys, happy new year first off. Now, my problem started right after new years where I receive a text message from a friend. Keeping in mind that i have a i896, i flashed to cognition 2.3b8 or w/e the newer version is called. I try to reply to my friend when all of a sudden it fails. So I try calling him instead, that failed as well. I tried texting and calling other people but that failed as well, yet my browser still continued to work. After an hour, no data can be found on my phone so now I am confused. I probably rebooted my phone 10 times by now. Anyhow, I reboot it and launcher pro settings are messed up, saying im not a pro member when i clearly paid for it as well as my phone not being able to receive any data from Rogers. Now, I randomly get a text from a friend, in which i cannot reply to once again. Is there anyway to fix this issue as it is quite random?
Sounds like a modem issue to me man. I would reflash and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.
Also please post in the correct forum, this is not a development issue, it is Q&A.
What do you mean by the "letter." I will certainly reflash and repost in right section.

He means follow the instructions step by step and do exactly as they say even if you think you can skip a step or don't think it's necessary.

I think it's the unpublicized 2k11 bug..............
j/k.............just had to throw that out there. Hope you get it sorted.
I896... I had same issue. Rogers network was overloaded with calls and text messahes. My browser/data was still working. Happy new years rogers customers you come to find that the network is not as good as led to believe.

There aren't, it seems like a bug in the software with HTC, which they said there is a fix "coming soon".

awesomexda, where did you purchase your inc s from? what country are you currently in?
What country has the phone originated from?
This is what happened this morning.
"I just had HTC contact in regards to my **** feedback to them lol.
The lady went on to say that someone else had contacted her about the exact same issues and she told me that MobiCity should not be selling overseas phones to us because of frequency problems and so on. She said she is going to contact them directly aswell as aussie warranty to either send me an australian built one or give me a refund because of the rare situation we are in.
So it seems like it is something with the way the phones built.
I'll keep you guys updated. "
That's on android forums.
Thanks neo-X for the information !
I'm in sri lanka. It's HTC asia one. I bought it here. I think this is a major issue. most of the people who bought the phone have been experiencing issues like this. I'm disappointed with HTC becuase they said INC S is a flagship device and has no errors. But I still luv me device even though it has got problems.
Thanks people

Yeah the latest is that HTC are releasing a new asia rom to fix this problem in the next week. I heard that like 2 months ago though!

No idea mate. That's all i got from them.
Here is my experience- I contacted HTC support in Singapore this week and was excited to read the email response:
"I would suggest you to go to the local service center to install the lately released patch on your Incredible S on the spot."
I rushed to the service centre, only to find out that HTC's definition of a "lately released patch" was to roll back to 2.2
At least the delayed SMS issue is now resolved!

I've tried MIUI, I like it, but it didn't really fix the problem. It seemed to make it slightly better, but I was still getting messages 10 mins late or so. I've just flashed CM7 Nightlies, but it doesn't show the time stamp of when the message was sent, only of when it was received so I can't really judge if it fixes the problem or not.

Same here, im on cm7 but can't judge it.
Here is what HTC said.
"Dear _,
Thank you for your reply.
After checking, we regret to inform you that we have been aware that the message delay is a known issue after Incredible S upgrades from Android 2.2 to 2.3 But currently our engineer is trying to finding out a workable solution for it. If there is any update or patch for the issue, we would put the information on our official webstie. And from our side, if there is any update, we will also inform you. We do apologize for any inconvenience which was brought by the phone issue.
We have to say that currently for the SMS delay issue, the only method is trying to select "GSM only" mode.
But for the **phone ringing issue**, we would suggest that you may try to put your phone in the safe mode to see whether there is improvement for the phone ringing problem.
Before you put your phone in safe mode, make sure that you have your fast boot option unchecked: Menu > Settings > Power > Make sure "Fast Boot" is unchecked.
To put the Sensation into Safe Mode, you may follow the steps 1.With the Device turned off 2.Press the power button briefly 3.keep holding the Volume down button once you see the splash screen (HTC quietly brilliant) 4. Once it loads you will see on the “Safe Mode” on the bottom left of the screen.
****, we are looking forward to your kind action and appreciate the time taken to write to us. Please feel free to contact us should you require further assistance.
Best Regards
June"
Apparently Optus kicked up a stink with HTC and made them fix this issue. There is a new Optus ROM but can't find it anywhere on here.

realy? Thank a lot.
what?! I was under the impression that would only work in ICS?
Am I wrong? What do I need to do to use the GSM modem for calling on my 3g tab?

No you can't or if you can give us a clue on how to do it !!!
I have upgraded to Overcome 2.1.0 with 3.2 firmware and actually I have the "Phone" app which seems to work. I didnt tried to call because of my contract with the TIM brand, I can only navigate. Promise I will try this afternoon!

Use the SIM card from your phone when you do try later! If this works, then this is fantastic news!
I saw it pop up too but when you try to call out it errors out with a 'voice calling not supported' message.
I wonder how to get past that. Do we need a different radio rom or something.. ?
It would be awesome to get this working.

Other than pre-release press shots, no one has shown a Tab 8.9 or 10.1 with working GSM calling capability. Chances are if it's ever going to be made to happen it will be by a developer who is probably a member of XDA and s/he will post either screen shots or video. Until then, it's safe to assume that no Tab other than the 7, 7+, and 7.7 will ever be able to make GSM calls. There's hope that ICS may change that but for now it is what it is. And unless someone does post proof that it's been made to happen take anything said with a grain of salt.
Amen, lets make this a sticky.

If ANYONE claims they have working GSM calling capabilities on their 8.9/10.1, be prepared to present hard proof, or keep your silence!
Call =no, SMS=yes

Yeh,.. same here, I can send and receive SMS.
dial rooting
Hey ppl... well.. i just got my p7300 today and was more then embarassed tp find ou that it has no call functionality whatsoever after i torn the packaging apart at the shop. I just got a bit suspicious after i came home and my girlfriend told me that she could not reach me.
Long story short, i thought that i pass by @ xda to check the devs. Now ive seen that even around here nobody managed to get theor heads around it. Now that i have to use my old x10i i thought that it maybe is possible to somehow use the x10 as modem while using the p7300 as dialler.. maybe via bluetooth or sumthin like that>?!
Dont know if that would be usefull enough for others that a dev puts his head into it or if ot would not be way to complicated but thats on you to decide as i am no [email protected]

Where can I get this firmware? Can you gimme link?
Basically, I receive texts, and can send them fine. But from experiences, I don't get some replies. So I sent a text to a girl I know who replies, and she didn't. So I text asking if she replied, and she said she had. I do sometimes not get the text for a while, and then the next reply I get the previous.
I have heard many reasons as to why and fixes, but none have worked. Some to do with simply being rooted, others a non UK baseband, or a miss match with build prop. No real solutions have come up, only these possible causes.
I am in the UK, on Orange, have 3 or 4 bars (although that has nothing to do with signal strength) and on CM9.
Any help appreciated, hope someone replies unlike some other topics on here, and my texts!

Wow - this is EXACTLY the same problem I have.
I discovered it in September last year. Had trouble even explaining to my network (Meteor in Ireland) that this was happening and to be honest they just didn't believe me. I gave them a list of examples that they checked out and they said that every single one had gone through successfully.
In the interests of research I've been using an old Nokia phone for the last 3 weeks. Twice I asked friends to text me and let me know if I didn't reply. Not one single text was missed. So, it indeed looks like a problem with the Galaxy.
I'm running a rooted SGS with Darkys Rom so I'm going to spend some time today doing a hard reset and stuff but that's just a shot in the dark.
HAS ANYBODY FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE??
I'm not sure if that's the same! Mine is with receiving texts! I will send one, not receive a reply, so ask if they did reply nd they reply saying they did!
I have heard its being routed that is the problem...
I've also had a thought that it might be the fact my number has changed Sim cards for so many years now, that might be the problem!
Also, my SMS center is reset. Set via gosms now!

No, it's exactly the same. Absolutely 100% exactly the same.
(The point I made about my replying to texts was to do with my "test": I asked my friends to send me texts and I told them I'd reply to every single one immediately; if I didn't reply to a text it meant that the other person would know that I probably didn't get it. A very effective test actually.)
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a strange issue. S-voice does not work for me on the GG using a recently updated (4.3 stock rom) Note 2. What I mean is that every time I try to use S-voice a highly distorted voice says "I didn't catch that", regardless of what I say. I tested the device on my gf's Note 3 and it works fine. As such, there are no issues with the GG device, per se. So, I continued to troubleshoot and figured it was my Note 2 S-voice that is the problem. I was thinking that since I installed the G4 s-voice, which worked fine on my Note 2, this might be the cause. I uninstalled S-voice on my phone and tried to run S-voice on the GG. The watch gave me a message stating I needed to install S-voice on my phone. When I looked at my phone it took me to the Samsung app store with the S-voice app ready to download. I installed the app from the app store on my phone and tried again. Same problem. I don't know how to fix this. So, I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. Here is my info.
sgh317m (Canada)
Stock rom 4.3
rooted phone
official s-voice
If I forgot any pertinent details, please let me know.
Thank you everyone in advance.
Omg, same issue here, i317m on Rogers, stock rooted note 2, 4.3 and for the life of me s - voice doesn't work! Same exact issue! I thought I forgot how to s - voice lol!!

I'd be curious to know if you also loaded the S4 s-voice or have you always been using the default version? I noticed Samsung updated the app for the Note 2 in the app store, but I'm not sure if my upgrading unofficially may have cause any issues such, as no longer being a system file? I'm not sure. Such knowledge is beyond me.
Hopefully, a wise soul will enlighten us.
No s4 s - voice... Just stock note 2 s - voice. So, really, it should work as is. Apart from a complete Odin and reroot, I dunno.

Fair to assume you never had an issues with s-voice? I seem to recall when I first put s-voice on my SGS II I had a similar experience to current predicament, but I'm not sure what resolved it.
I've never had an issue at all with s - voice.

Hey guys... found this thread on Google. This was the only note 2 s voice issue with GG that I've found so it's reassuring (unforunately) that this is a common issue...
I have a stock note 2. No mods or anything... s voice does not work at all on galaxy gear. Works 100% brilliantly on the note 2... it's a garbled mess of "I didnt catch that" on the Gear. I've tried everything and I have no accent (just a normal Canadian, eh ; ) lol. ... but of the million commands I gave that are in the "?" Icon as legit 'things to say' it did not once do anything but say "I didnt catch that"....
...I hope Samsung is aware of this and fixes it... lol... I returned a watch and said it was defective already hahaha.

Hi I am using a Bell Note 2 with the GG and have no problems with s-voice but I am using the Skynote RC9z 4.3 custom Rom. I am interested to know is anyone on the stock bell having the issue? If so I could flash back to stock and see what happens. Also anyone on stock having issues with the GG weather app? mine keeps telling me to set the city on the device widget but it is set. Funny thing though when I ask svoice on the watch what the weather is like it has no problem telling me.

Mine is unlocked from Rogers and am using it on Koodo. Of course I installed the Rogers rom. My weather app works fine unless I use s voice.
I've been playing with the language settings (switching between Samsung and Google) and I got s voice to work 4 whole times but not successively. Maybe someone else could mess about as well?
I'm on bell. Stock note 2. S voice isn't working.
Im Glad that this is happening to a few people, as i was thinking my watch was defective -
I ended up calling SAMSUNG about this and they had no clue of course, so i explained 'our' issue and they have opened a case -
If all you guys feel like calling in to complain about this PLEASE DO !!

Defiantly going to make that call - I tested out my Galaxy Gear with my Wife's S4, worked no problem, so...it sounds more like a Note 2 issues.
Okayyyy... i talked to samsung Canada support... they said that they're aware of an issue with the 4.3 update. I had already mentioned that i returned a watch already. He made it clear "there's nothing wrong with your hardware... it was an error in the update" ... He said to wait a few days and call back, they'll likely have a solution or at least more information on a coming solution.

Edit: I mean anyone else besides the two who've already stated. I tried but the rep told me there aren't any issues and so he's not sure why I'm having trouble. Seems like each call gets a different reply. Was hoping others could chime in.
Just to be clear, I called the number below and ended up talking with some guy in the Caribbean.

He looked around and couldn't find anything pertaining to my complaint.
If you guys call and they have no idea, try referring them to the CASE # 2123030231 and see what they say -
I'm planning on calling back next week even though the rep told me not to expect anything to happen for at least a month or so.

Here's a fun fact. I called Samsung Canada today and the rep said he can't find that case number. He went on to say that there are no known issues with using the GG and note 2. Really brightened my day.

Ok I have now flashed a Rogers and a Bell stock on my note 2 both have the same issue s-voice sounds like its underwater and says it cant understand me but if I flash the SkyNote 9z custom ROM based off the AT&T 4.3 update the watch s-voice works just fine. I tried decompiling some of the relevant APKs and JARs and it seems that there are differences in the implementation of the Bluetooth.apk but flat swapping that file crashes BT services and I am not skilled enough to figure out how to correct the issue via programming.
I am headed back to SkyNote at least till they fix this.

I might be wrong but do you think this has something to do with 4.3 rom using LE BT whereas 4.1 had BT?
I was just curious what might happen if we installed the BT apk from 4.1. Would s voice work? Or am I way off?
