[Q] no sms, poor reception - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey all. really hoping someone can help with this, coz its making life very difficult..
currently running cm7 nightly 94. ive noticed that whenever im in an area with 0 reception bars, or going thru a tunnel so no reception at all, im not receiving sms messages which is the norm.
the problem is, however, that when i get back into a reception area, the messages are never received. they are permantly lost in cyber-limbo.
has this been a problem for anyone else? if so, any workarounds or fixes?
thanks heaps!

i really wouldnt know mate.. at the moment i'd have to say yes, but there's no way to tell because the occurences are of such a random nature!
how do you define a 'fail to resend' issue?
thank you for replying!

I am not reachable on my phone

Hello
At first sorry for my bad english , i am from austria
My friends tell me that they can not call me, and always just goes off the mailbox.
when I see on the phone, I have full network and everything looks ok .
When I put the battery off the phone and take it back on it again it works .
what can that be ??
I've got the same problem but it seldom happens. I'm using the standard ROM and radio. I'm wondering what might cause this problem.
Your phone will show it's busy if a gprs connection is downloading data as voice and data can't coexist together. If using HSDPA then they can work together.
Are you using push email?
Hello
Thanks for answer.
I have now disabled gprs , so i give you a replay in the next days , if the phone works.
Thanks and to all a happy new year

I have same problem.
I think this is OS problem.
So I enable 'divert when not reached'
to divert missing call to 2nd phone (Nokia)

Try installing new RADIO Rom. The problem could be the radio rom, or its reception in the area.

Serious reception problems

I'm experiencing reception problems with my phone. The first two weeks this was not a problem but end of last week and yesterday and today I'm having troubles with the phone. I have between 2-5 bars (average 3) when talking and I'm always calling from the exact same location and same room (working from home).
The problem is that after a few minutes I can't hear the other person. The person calling me can hear me without problems but I can't hear him. So I hang up, call back and the same happens after a few minutes.
I have tried with and without headset and also tried to soft reset it without result. Any ideas what to do? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Yes, I might be able to try that or I'll try to get it replaced. Looks like no one else is experiencing the same.
I to am having some serious Reception issues but im with Optus in Australia. When on 3G at home.. cant make or take calls. So i have turned it to just GSM so i can get calls and make them.. Sometimes I did get calls and messages on 3G at home.. but today, it just wouldnt do anything..
There are updates from other counties which seem to have a radio update.

Hi,
Is there any way just to extract the Radio upgrade ?
I have my Diamond 2 in french, and want to keep it like that.
I wrote to the french HTC Support, and they just ask me to :
- Hard reset the phone : Done and useless
- Change the sim card : not done as the sim card I used is completely new
- Disable encryption : disabled and useless....
So the only solution will be a radio upgrade only.
Thanks

busy signal when people call me but i can still call out.

Hello, my name is Brian, im in Arizona. Today i found out that it seems when people call me it just gives them a fast busy signal and thats all, it does not ring or go to voicemail, just an instant fast busy signal. but i am able to call out still just fine and im able to send and receive text msgs. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows anything about it. before i have to call TMO for the issue. My phone im using is a Black HTC Dream / G1. This is my day to day phone not my root phone. any help or advice would be great. thank you in advance for your time and help.
Brian.

I'm not aware of any setting that will do that... have you tried putting your simcard in a different phone? If it does the same thing with a different phone, then it is definitely a service provider issue.
Edit: seems like the right section to me

SMS Timestamp Help

Hey Everyone,
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
The issue I have (it's on ALL of my WM phones) and it's an issue with my provider. Anytime I am on 3G, the timestamp of my received SMS' are exactly one hour behind. So if my phone drops to EDGE or GPRS, my received SMS' timestamps are correct. My provider, no matter how much I complain (this used to even happen with a WM device I bought from them!) they always say they will do something about it yet they never have. And a FYI for anyone that is going to recommend me using the timestamp cab fix, that does not solve this problem.
Now the only workaround I've been doing for a the longest time is forcing all my phones onto 3G however there are spots which have no 3G so if I'm in the middle of a phone call, my call drops or I don't get any SMS', etc.
I've gotten sick of the dropped calls (I'm mostly in my basement which gets 3G only in certain parts of it) so I've been using my backup iPhone 3G (which doesn't have this problem, go figure) until I can find a registry tweak or something to force my Blackstone to use the phone's actual time vs my providers SMS timestamp.
Is there anyone that can give me any place to start looking in the registry that I can play around with the figure it out?
Thanks in advance for everyone for their help. I love this community!

Text messages stuck?

I recently installed Android Revolution, and I use GO SMS to handle my text messages. Ever since installing the new ROM, I sometimes have a problem where text messages sent by others get "stuck", as in they only show up when I've sent a text myself.
An example is that I send a message, a friend replies 5 minutes later, but this doesn't show up on my end until I've sent a text.
What could be causing this? I don't think I had this issue when running stock.
Thanks.
I'm also having issues with SMS on revolution... Some of my texts aren't getting sent, and every once in awhile I'll have no activity and then awhile later 10 texts all with timestamps from an hour beforehand get delivered all at once.
I had a lot of issues with texts before this though, my friends on stock rom/stock phone and his texts rarely send.
I'm ENG s-off, radio s-off, gingerbread radio, correct APN's (I'm pretty sure). I'm almost positive this is a problem with the ****ty network and not the rom.
Also every once in awhile I have to reboot, it'll say my SIM card doesn't allow access to the network, or I'll be roaming 24/7... these two are new with Revolution. Definitely having reception issues.
Are you using the .22 radio?

Yes, I flashed 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M as recommended before installing Android Revolution.
I have no other problems with the ROM, so I don't think mine is a network issue.
I'd try the .27 radio if I were you. I had several texts being delayed or received late, and even a couple of people say they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through.
Flashed the .27 radio a few days ago and haven't had any of those issues so far.
I'll give that a try this afternoon and see how it goes. Thanks!
Any update as to how this worked? I noticed issues with delayed messages this morning.
I've read that it's a known issue with this model and there may be a fix coming in me July from htc.

Flashing the .27 radio made things a little better, but messages still get stuck sometimes. It's really annoying.
messages getting stuck i think means sms not being able to be sent out. maybe your signal

My messages send fine, it's the delay of receiving messages that is the issue. I get full bars pretty much all the time.
Apparently Gingerbread is the cause of this, at least on my network. (Bell hasn't released an official 2.3 update yet)

Same, i've tried .12 .22 & .27.
The best was .12
But i still get that stupid problem of text messages coming through late.
Go SMS still working fine here. Been spot on for two days.
I've been using the 06.03.03 radio and though it's better, I still have problems with text messages that aren't received/sent quickly. This has been a problem with all the radios on Rogers for me.

Story of my life lol...I'm sick of the delyayed sms!
My wife is now having problems where calls don't always get through. Strangely we both have the same radio but it seems to work fine for me. Hope the next radio release is better
