Delay in receiving texts

I am finding that I am getting texts which were sent couple of days ago.having said that, I am not certain that this is not the case before I rooted & apply lag fix to my galaxy s? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

That has to do with your Sim and your provider... had that same issue with a dumb phone at one time.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think it's anything to do with my sim/provider as my brother has an unrooted galaxy s as well rough on the same network & he has no such problem.he also has the same jf5 firmware.

You can't tell, your telco sms server may be screw up and hold your particular sms, just like email. Did that happen all the time or once a blue moon?

It happens randomly but more often recently than ever. All my family members who have cellphones are on the same cell phone provider but none of them are experiencing the same problem, I am therefore convinced it's to do with my phone somehow...

Cant get 3G to work?

hey guys
been trying to get 3G to work, but everytime i go into the bank selection, and pressing on the 850mhz band, it says "menu not exsist" so i cannot enable 3G
anyone know wtf is going on here and how i can make 3G work?
thanks
EDIT: it worked fine up until i flashed 2.3.3, then flashed back to darky now i cant

Is the phone actually the 850 or 900mhz version?
If it's the 850 then check to see if you have a compatible modem. May just need to flash one to fix it.
Also check if your apn settings are correct just in case.

Its a 850 version, been using it for ages but it stuffed up when i flashed to 2.3.3 then back to darky
tried flashing JG4 and JL2 which are 850 modems but still not working
and yep, they are right

Check your apn settings. You may have list them during the flash 2.3.3 flash process. I've added a link in my first post just in case you need it.

that makes 2 of us then haha!
i got no idea what happen

These are some of the things I would try in your situation:
-Restore cwm backup of rom that had working 3g (I assume you would have done that already if you had one).
-restore to factory settings.
-flash a fresh / compatible stock rom just to see if it comes back. Then re-flash darkys.
I doubt there is a problem with the phone itself. Just some software mismatch somewhere.

Ok
I just flashed the stock telstra ROM back onto the phone, and still getting 2g, and 3g is there but not going to work...
my other phone is working on 3g fine though so its not telstra
( talking about NextG here to, same thing really )
EDIT: now it says its running on the 850 band under band selection, its the only one ticked. but its still E which is 2g
under service mode, its running GSM900, ****ty 2G
would it be because my phone only has 10% battery?

Well I hope for your sake low battery is the problem.
Hey, I thought I was the only one who flashes roms with such low battery. Guess not!

i dont think your supposed to flash roms with low battery but lol

Got another idea. Since you have 'E' showing then you must have correct apn details.
So now go to mobile network settings and select only wcdma in network mode. That is 3g only. Take it off auto.
Could just be that 3g there but its defaulting to 2g due to low reception.

stupid thing says "menu not exsist" when i go into the band selection

Also
There was this walkthrough thing I saw on here ages ago, about changing the product code the manual way, But can't find it.
It had something to do with using adb to copy over something in the efs folder, can't remember
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Is it possible that when they replaced the PCB in my phone, they did not put a 850 enabled version in there? Cause nothing I do is working.....

Yep, I know what you are talking about but I use another method.
In dialler type *#272*imei# with imei being your imei number of course.
It will show you the available product codes. Just remember that once you change it the phone will automatically reboot and do a factory reset.
Not sure however if this will help with your problem.
Was 3g working after you got it back from warranty?

Yeah I tried that way but it did not work.
And I'm 99% sure it was.
They replaced it with a regular one, I put my Optus sim in there, and 3G works. So they replaced it with a Regular 900MHz version, not a NextG version
You have got to be ****ing joking....

Oohh! That hurts man! I'd be pretty pissed too. If it shows as 900 then they fu**ed up.
I'd be going to see them Asap. Problem is you'll be without a phone again until fixed.
Give them an ear-full man.

Does rom region matter?

My Optimus Black cames with v20j (Canada) and I understand that there's differences between regions like apps. But other than that, is there any real difference? I've used Spain's, Germany's, Europe's and the Philippines' roms and they all run the same.

From my own experience with canadian carrier "telus or koodo".
Some of the roms seem to not get a good connection to the network,
I went as far a sending my phone for repair, rerooted my device and reflashed but kept getting cant connect to network at this time. I do beleive some one else on telus had the same issue. Can' t recal his name
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app

Huh, I'm on Koodo and I've had no trouble with signal on any rom. I did find that some roms don't say I'm on Koodo, but Telus. But, Koodo is part of Telus so it makes sense.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

Telus
I'm with Telus and since I changed my original rom from a custom one I can't get phone signal outside of town.
It's because we have the lg p970g not lg p970. We have different phone signal for our roms this is why our phone are having signal issues.
I didn't find a way to correct this problem. But is there a flashable zip for a canadian rom becaus my usb port is broken and i can only charge my cellphone and change my rom with a flashable zip file.
hope we'll find a solution someday :S

Yes for xample you cant find persian language in v20n or j but v20b have persian

Q

I just got this phone running again it was bricked by me. When i put my sim card in it shows no service. My sim card is fine. Anyone know how to fix it? My apn settings are what they should be. Idk what to do
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app

Can you elaborate what exactly happened ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

I unbricked it using odin. Now when i put my sim card in it wont get signal. It was reported stolen then we got it back messed up. She called and told cell one we got it back. So shouldnt they have removed the block on it?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app

I think the problem is with the sim & not with the phone. I think they haven't processed your request properly, for which they might want you to provide some additional proof to confirm your identity. You might wanna recontact them. And have you tried this sim on other phones & other sims on this phone ? If yes, what was the consequence ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

well i must admit that this thread has very informative 'title' (not o mention subject)

Yes I use it on my regular ace 5830. Works fine and everything. The stock rom I flashed was an at&t firmware. Then I flashed ace-i-sure to see if it made a difference. Nope.
Sent from my TB782B using xda premium

So let me just recap on the information you have provided so far...
1. You bricked the phone yourself
2. You then reported the phone as having been stolen
3. You managed to unbrick the phone using Odin
4. You reported to your network provider that you now have the phone back
5. Now the phone still has no network signal
Sounds like you might have an issue with the Karma chip
But seriously, under Settings / About Phone / Baseband... what does it say there?

I believe xxla2

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

I think you did a big mistake reporting it as stolen. I ain't able to find a hint of what could open the doors to link the exact problem in the software with any rom. But by far, it seems to me that they might have disabled the phone from connecting to a network as you reported it to be stolen or it might happen to be a hardware issue. In any case, you might wanna go to the service centre.

I'm thinking of just calling them to see if it's been blocked if so they should remove it as we have it working again. we've already bought a replacement.

Unlock?

Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:

Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.
