it wasnt the message center number... the problem was the sim card, i changed it and start's to work fine

Even still, i think all x8's have one common problem,
The SMS, after using and hsving my phone on stock rom for 6 months
the SMS functionality went, I fixed it and so on.
Then, two weeksago, my brothers white X8 lost its functionality, and its still not fixed.
And also a month ago, my friend lost his sms functionality, he fixed it but not completely.
Problem? And I checked the date of manufacturing on the phones and they were all different and spaced out
By a few months each.

[SOLVED] Airplane mode problem

Hi all!
When i switch-off the airplane mode, my nexus one ( stock 2.3.3 ) doesn't reconnect to the normal network ( gsm/umts,2g/3g ) for calls and messages.
The airplane symbol disappears and appears a little rectangle with a ! on it and the message "Emergency call only".
If i switch the phone off and then on, it connects correctly as usual and i can call and send sms as usual.
How can i solve this boring problem?
Thank you so much!
Sounds like it's a defect with the radio. You may want to call HTC for a repair/replacement if you're still in warranty.
Thanks for the answer!
I am still on warranty, but that would be annoying i think..
May it be a software problem?

If you think its software your could try doing a factory restore. I'm sure others can chime in with how to do this... or how to downgrade and upgrade again. See if that resolves it.

Its most likely software like it might not have updated to gingerbread right because in the process of updating there was several updates from 2.2 to 2.3.3 that includes a radio upgrade but it might not have receved that one update before it reveved gingerbread
I know cause i have a nexus one as well as a g2
Its worth a look at

Problem was dued to NoLock App.
When the lock was disabled, the sim card ( i must unlock it with the pin code) couldn 't reconnect.
I suddenly discovered it this morning .
With lock on, airplane mode works perfectly
Thank you all for helping, i love my nexus!

emergency calls fail

Let me prefix my post with: please don't call 911 just to "test" your phone if this post title has worried you. There is no reason to believe you have a 911 calling problem (more explained below) and you will take up valuable resources from others who actually have an emergency and need immediate help.
I am the owner of a Samsung SGH-i896 Captivate. Today I had to call 911. The call failed. It acted like it was placing the call to 911, it said "Emergency number" on the screen as it acted like it was dialing, and then in half a second the call failed. Other calls worked fine. I had service. Thankfully I was able to use the phone of a friend that was with me to successfully dial 911.
I know this is really really horrible, especially since my little warning at the top of this thread... but when I came home I removed the SIM from my phone and tried to dial 911 to see if it would ring. It didn't work. The lock screen says "No SIM card." and "Emergency calls only". The phone shows full reception bars. When I dial 911 the screen flashes "Out of service area" at the top with a phone picture underneath and then the text"Emergency number". This comes up for 1 second then the dialer exits to my home screen.
I'd like your help to track down this problem.
Dial 112 (911 is only for us phones)

911 is used in Canada. And the SGH-I896 is a Canadian phone.
Have you thought of it more as a network issue, and not a phone issue? I have unfortunately had to dial 911 from my Captivate before, and it worked fine. I'm using an i9000 ROM with an i9000 modem in non-3G service areas.

I'm not sure then does 112 work? Don't call just to test it but it should work I had this problem on an early i9000 rom 112 worked for me... this should be moved to Q&A though it is a bit of an issue... I guess no one realty tests the emergency call features...

Perhaps the issue warrants the attention of developement.
I had to dial 911 on my phone. live in us using cognition 4 and it would not work.
Hmm perhaps this does does need more attention if it still doesn't work on cog 4... I had this problem when the first froyo cog rom came out... I do believe it was brought up then & 112 was the temporary fix but I can't believe 911 still doesn't work...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
112 gives me the same "Out of service area" like when I dial 911 without a SIM.
Alright, so I installed Rogers stock 2.2. I tried with both SIM in and SIM out. I'm not able to dial 911 in either case. Call fails with SIM in, and I get the "Out of service" message when SIM is out.
Sounds like there is definitely something wrong with my phone.
Ok so I can confirm that 911 does work on cog 4.3 on the i897 on att in us so I think it does have something to do with the missing nvdata but why would you still be able to make regular calls & not emergency calls that seems backwards hmm?

If you give me an idea on how to fix it, I will test it out...
I have an i897 and have have used it on phoenix (not sure the version), and andromeda 2.1. Not sure how to test, but that does seem like an network problem. Phone not connecting properly.
I tried putting in a SIM from another carrier. 911 emergency calls don't go through.
I tried putting in a SIM from another carrier. All calls work, not 911. Tested on Rogers and Bell Canada.
Thought I herd on android central podcast that the problem was known?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I just checked. Looks like that's a problem for the Vibrant and only when calling from the lock screen. Seems unrelated to this issue, since those people can still call from the dialer once they unlock their phone.
For anyone who has this problem in the future: I'm pretty sure it was related to having lost the phone's original /efs/ folder including nv_data.bin. You have to have a backup nv_data to restore from to fix the problem, or else it needs to go to samsung for servicing to be re-flashed. This fixed my phone. (well, got a replacement...)
For anyone who has this problem in the future: I'm pretty sure it was related to a bad upgrade to 2.2 via Samsung Kies... Replacement phone is working fine for now.

You said alot but none of it was telling us anything we would need yo help you. You gave no information on your rom, kernel, radio, new apps installed, rooted, unrooted.
Please guys/gals. If you need help please provided the needed info to help you. Without it posts like this are useless and will not get help.
Its a setting on the sim I bet. Can't remember exactly but it happened to me. its something called the smsc its under usage-> phone under sgs tools

Call them up and tell them your texts aren't working. Probably a setting on their side.
Ironically, my problem is totally opposite; I can send texts, but can't receive. A friend is telling me there are problems with the AT&T Network themselves, though. :/
Seems lately ATT's networks have been ****ting themselves. Dropped calls left and right and texts that wont send. Just my experience in last two weeks.
i called rogers and it turns out there was a number missing in the message cent #... but now i can only text with the stock app not handscent... probably gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling
that didnt work and NONE of the text msging apps will send text they all fail (handcen, chomp, pansi, gosms) but the stock app will...

Check call center number is correct in mms app settings and also apn settings. Both of these are carrier dependant... so ensure you are using your carriers settings.

@lownox thanks again for your help the other nightits been working great, I actually had to do the same thing to my wifes cappy, which oddly enough I was running the very same setup on her phone flawlessly before she loaned it to her sister. ?
try to reset your phone
for rogers the fix is: *#*#4636#*#* click on phone info, scroll down to smsc, type in +17057969300, click update, if this doesnt work on your phone put sim into another rogers phone an update it that way

[Q] strange auto send SMS with the ICS DDLPA firmware

hello all
yesterday i've just flashed the ICS DDLPA firmware (népal version NPL), over my french stock GB version. every thing rock, absolutly no problème but today i saw in my mobil bill one SMS send to +918527121333 (it's international india number).
i've got no trace of it, it was auto send and cost me 19cts €...
so it very strange...
it is a sort of auto config sms?
can indi people could light me over this?
I have hear earlier same, May be this SMS sents to samsung india while you configuring Note first time. Just check timing in bill does it same time when you have finished configuration.
the sms timming is matching perfectly with the moment i flash the DDLPA.
humm i'm already thinking in that way ^^
by the way if i dont get mutch more strange sms, that will confirm this theory ;-)

maybe just call the number, and ask politely wtf is going on
PS. I just did and nothing happened, two clicks and auto disconnect, hope it does not ruin my home budget
That i have already tried, but i think it is only for sms purpose, no response on calling.

Otherwise the DDLPA look like to be the greatest ics stock rom for the note.

[Q] JB SMS issue

Hi, having SMS issue with my SGS on Remics-JB 3.0.1 - I receive no SMS. When I put SIM in another phone SMS are finally received. Sending SMS is OK, i can send messages and they are delivered to addressee so it is not problem with SMSC. Only no SMS are delivered to my SGS although I test sending from web or another phone. I had this issue with all ICS and JB roms I tested, sometimes after flash it was all right and problem started later and sometimes the issue appeared right after flash. Got back GB and it was fine but now I tested JB again and the issue is still here, although I did all wipes and clears before and after flash, had made no restore via TB or Go backup. I am getting really anoyed from this, tried another SMS app and no result. Could you advise me what will help, I had an idea to try another modem but dont know which

I think so, in phone menu it is displayed, cant compare it now with box cause I am not at home. Flashing GB or Froyo resolves it and phone calls, logging in mobile network is OK.
Edit: Mean on ICS/JB phone calls and mobile network works, SMS sending works, SMS receiving NOT work.
On older android works everything.

its odd, looks like you have something installed to block out sms reception like this maybe ...which I doubt
IMEI does match with the one on the box. I use Root call blocker pro (some older version), SMS blocking is off but will try delete it and test if there isnt some bug, after that I will let know. Although it is essential app for me because of my work Dont know about another one like that which is function and reliable

So.. deleted Root call blocker pro, wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permission and.. OK It was some incompatibility of older version with JB.
Do you know some other call blocking app, which is reliable and blocks calls before phone start to ring? So caller wont hear ringing tone but "not aviable" or "busy" tone?
