[Q] Sending sms bug - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since many users of Samsung Galaxy S Plus had similar problems i decided to open a new topic.
Short description:
Sometimes when i try to send an sms which has more than 160 characters i receive a notification with "Message not send".
The problem seems to be only when Network Mode is set on WCDMA (or Auto).
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9001XXKF8
Network: Orange Romania
Solutions
1) Update to Android 2.3.5+
or
2) Set Network Mode GSM

I have no idea why that would happen, I am starting to believe that Samsung has a poor radio in the i9001. Can you confirm the same in other messaging apps?
I would love to try but I have no SMSs in my plan, Vodafone -.-

I don't think that this bug is related to bad network coverage because first 160 characters are send. I tried sending sms from another network operator (Vodafone Romania), but i had the same results.
Bug also occurs using handcent app.

Lots of people have complained about that same bug here in finland. Different operators. Seems software bug.
2.3.3 to be exact. I never had that problem but i have flashed to 2.3.4.

Got same bug on 2.3.4.

I have had that bug in a 2.3.3 and now in a 2.3.4. It is not happening all the time, but it is present. In a 3G mode of course, in 2G everything is all right.

Eh. This is really stupid.
Software bugs in such an old phone ( for samsung since its close to Galaxy S)
I would understand this bugs at S II but here? .. hOpe we can fix it.
I got this error with internet turned complety off also..

What about 2.3.5 firmware? Had anybody tested?

Some people have realised this probleem seems to be related to phone switching between 2g & 3g. As i don't have this problem...could someone try switching 3g off and then try to send longer sms.
Is this problem related to only android's message program as there's other in market..are they working better??

It's been already established that 3G is causing the problem, but switching 3G off everytime you want to send a text is just plain stupid.

What baseband do you have?

Same bug for many users in germany!
Hi!
I'm from germany and here are MANY people having this problem! (for those who speak german: Take a look at the I9000 or I9001 board at "Android-hilfe.de"). There where many, many, many suppostiions why this happens. The only fact that everybody had is that it only happens in "automatic" and "only WCDMA" mode. It NEVER happens in GSM-only! I thougt it was a german-only bug, as it wasn't mentioned here on this board. I helped myself by closing the data network mode (long press at power button) before sending a SMS. I hope sometime a firmware update will fix it!?!

hey guys, just got word here that the bug is solved with the KPG 2.3.5 firmware rom. so check it out

I have the same sms bug problem like the thread starter and it was resolve after flashing to 2.3.6 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319463)

the sms bug is not
The sms bug(2.3.3) is not a network problem,it is that it converts sms that is over 100 or so caracters ,to mms... and yes 2.3.5 it is sms bug free
ps.heloo,new on forum.

Even 2.3.4 is bug free

2.3.5 vodafone romania is not bug free

One might try switching following option from "Warning" to "Restricted"
Messaging -> Settings -> (MMS Settings) Creation mode
In theory, this should prohibit MMS creation and add another SMS body instead no matter which network type (2G or 3G) is selected.

I had it in 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, in 2.3.6 never had it
(And i'm talking about that it doesn't send the message the first time, not about 160 chars)

[Q] Missed Calls while using GPRS

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Android 2.2.1 with the following ROM versions:
PDA: XWJS5
PHONE: XXJPP
CSC: XXJP9​
The problem is, while using GPRS, I am unable to receive any calls/SMS. I know that 3G networks fix this problem, but I'm in an area where I only have EDGE.
I was previously using the Nokia 5230 and never had this problem with it. Any tips? Maybe a different Modem/Phone ROM version that can fix this?
Any help would be great, even if just to tell me that there's no way around this!
Thanks,
JB
No one? Help please!
i have the same problem with my sgs
im on 2.2
i cant recive voice call but i recive sms while i connected to gprs
have you guys tried speaking with your operator about this ?
I remember there used to be a setting on my last nokia symbian phone whether to prioritize voice over data, didn't see the same on i9003 yet.

[Q] SMS and call problems

Hello dear xda-community,
I have a very strange problem. Because of problems with calling people (when i call somebody the phone ends the call when the other is answering the call) and with problems sending SMS (i can't send SMS which are longer than one normal SMS 160) so yesterday i have flashed back my O2X on original v10c drei Austria rom. But the problem is still present... Today i have figured out that wenn i am in Edge Network the problems are present but when i am in 3G or HSDPA network there is no problem with calling somebody or sending longer sms.
I have also tried to flash the actual baseband 622. So i have rooted the device again and installed wgspoelstra 7.2.1 with actual vorkkernel and the 622 ril.
The problems wont go away... I don't know what to do now.
Please help!
regards
Have you tried any other sms apps than the stock on. I recommend you trying Go sms pro, which is free.

Galaxy S not making or receiving calls or txt’s using XXJVT/XXJVS Rom HELP!

Hi all, I have been using the Stock Extra from the here for a number of weeks now with no issues. Until yesterday when my galaxy s stopped making or receiving calls or text messages, I get an error message saying text not sent & when I try to dial out it goes straight to call ended. I have tried a restore which didn’t help and I have even went back to XXJVS Rom 2.3.5 but still no calls or texts ! I rang Virgin mobile yesterday and they did all the usual checks and they said it must be a setting on the phone causing the problem as they cant see anything being blocked or barred. When I use my card in another phone it works fine ! My wife’s sim card wont work in my phone either so it has to be the phone ! Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? I am Desperate now I have only had the phone 3 months!
These are my settings now on XXJVSModel No

Did you try a reflash with Odin? Never seen this problem before.
Hi Paulforde, Yeah tried re-flashing with Odin but no change
Cheers
Try a different modem firmware...
I had several issues with several different ROMs but in most cases anything to do with calls, data, wifi, GPS, or BT were solved by flashing a different modem... I didn't notice which country or carrier you're using but I'm in Canada using Rogers and the best modem I've found for signal strength, and keeping all of the other radio related functions working has been UGKC1 This is dependant on where you are and who your carrier is though.
You can find most of the Froyo and Gingerbread modems here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Hope this helps,
Jamie
I have this exact problem with a Galaxy S I just got back from a RMA - the antenna was dodgy or something and it would get poor signal everywhere. Now signal is fine but it won't make texts/calls, again not the SIM.
Does your mobile internet work? Mine does which is weird..
Have you also checked your APN settings??

[Q] Issue with out going MMS

My phone just suddenly stopped being able to send mms/picture messages (it was working fine uptill yesterday). No new apps have been installed, tried battery pulls but its still not working. When i try to send them. the phone will say "sending" but the message never gets sent, it will just stay that way until i delete the message.
Im in Pakistan so am using the international GSM note gt-n7000. Funny thing is, I am receiving mms just fine and can browse the net using the data network connection aswell.
I was on stock GB when the issue started and now just updated to stock ICS 4.0.3 and the problem still persists.(im non rooted btw)
Also the few other people i know who have the same network as me, but are in another city are experiencing no problem whatsoever.
I have tried everything i could think of, using the default access point settings as well as manually entering them but nothing seems to work.
Could this be a problem with my phone and not my network?
Hi, I am having same issues on AT&T: i am unable to send/receive MMS/connect to inet. Everything worked fine before the ICS update.

I would suggest that you call ur operator pertaining to this matter.
By the way, could you tell us what is your Modem, kernel and ROM?

its all stock, have yet to root the phone, the ics is the official Germany release. The problem started when i was on GB and persisted when i came over to ICS... i can cope with a network problem, just hope its nothing hardware related..
Do you have other Sim card from other operator? That is another way to isolate the issue

Not receiving SMS

I am not receiving SMS messages at times. A lot of the times when I don't receive SMS is at night for some reason but happens in the afternoon too just not as often. I use to run CM 12.1 I thought that might have been the problem so I flashed 6.0 and the problem persist. I change APN, messaging app, another factory reset, not use WIFI, change sim card, turn off enhanced LTE and still nothing.... anyone know how to fix the problem? Oh yeah, I'm on tmobile network
I have the same issue but I dont think so it is nexus. At least from my point of view. The problem is missing, delayed, broken/mixed messages from iphone users. I contact ot tmobile regarding this issue. They check everything is they couldn't find if there is any issue. I want to tell you that this is a 2nd nexus 6 i have. Problem seems to exist from iphone users. My friend when she text other people some of them aren't receiving some of her messages and she has Iphone 6s plus. She is the only one i have issue to receive messages or messages are delayed and mixed.
I don't seem to have a problem with iPhone users mostly android users especially note 4 users
