Hi,
I have had the HD7 for a few weeks now... before the nodo update i never had a problem with it but ever since then, i keep getting a lot of error messages for text messages saying the message wasn't sent. This usually happens when the signal is 1 bar or no bars (but signal is still there) and sometimes even happened with full bars.
Anyone else have this problem? I am with Bell in Canada
same also with hd7 in tmo usa
same problem 02 UK
However ive found that if i go into the settings and into the carrier options and switch off 3g, everything works fine , texts are sent and received and i have no issues
this problem seems to come and go for me so im presuming its the same deal that you have - when the 3g signal is low its unable to connect correctly - and since it has a 3g signal it dosent auto downgrade to the lower speed connection - so manually disabling 3g forces it to connect at the slower speed
hope this helps a little
feel free to tell me im talking bollocks tho - this is just my experience of the problem
No message errors here on O2 UK. I've had the HD7 since release & use messaging a lot. I don't get a 3g signal in my area, so that might be a factor.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Hey mate...Bell in Toronto area here. I've been getting the same thing, rather often tiotoo A few times I think it was due to receiving a text the same time or very shortly after trying to send one..it's weird though, pretty much every time I click to resend it goes no problem. You're not alone with that issue mate lol
phew ok awesome then... it hasnt been doing that for me ever since i started this thread lol, so i am a little happy for now... i am going to send off emails to bell and HTC and see what they say regarding this issue.
As per the 3G connection trick, as soon as i turn mine off, i lose all signal from the phone... the dialer just says "emergency only".
Thanks

I think it is a network issue. I'm on Telus (sharing towers with bell) and I have this problem on my HD7 and Galaxy S. Only in the last couple weeks.
I have to keep resending texts

Oh yeah that's right... i forgot Bell and Telus dont have edge bands. Hopefully the text messaging thing can be fixed soon... its getting annoying now.
I've been having the same problem. I used to send text messages in the loo's on my break, but now if I go there the signal is weaker and it fails alot. never used to before nodo.
This has been an issue for me since Day 1. My college is in a low coverage area and anytime im here, i sometimes get the error message.
I dont pay it much mind because if my phone is showing 1 bar or no bars, then it is obviously not the phone's fault(in my case) but the fact that I am just in a low coverage are and it struggles to get the message out.
This happens more so with my pic message than text message.
Sometimes people have also told me they have text me and I never received it or I'll text them and they never receive it.

did you check with anyone else in t-mobile that goes to your college? I do remember reading where people are complaining the hd7 has a weak antenna.
But even then so, 1 bar is no excuse for a text message to not go through.
I have the same problem. my phone will have full bars one moment then the next it will be down to one and "cant send: text message error" its annoying because i will reply and then look at my phone a hour later and see why they havent replied and the message didnt even send >_<
Some other times my phone get NO signal at all for a couple minutes then randomly has full bars again, its really irritating. I live in a college town where everyone here gets good signal.. no reason for this. I dont really remember it happening when i had the February update.
Ok so i sent HTC an email and this is the reply I got.
I understand that since performing the nodo update on your HTC HD7, you have been having issues sending text messages. I checked around with several of my coworkers and tried to find other instances of this issue occurring from other forums, but it appears to be a fairly uncommon issue. I took a look at the forum thread that you started and obtained more details such as this usually tends to happen when there is low signal. I see that some of the other posters recommended reverting to 2G in such a situation and that is not a bad idea. You can enable 2G only by going to Settings> Cellular. Additionally, the way you hold the phone can affect the signal as well. You may want to try holding around the sides so that your palm does not come in contact with the back of the phone, which can block the signal. Aside from that, you can also try a factory reset in case an issue occurred during the update and did not install properly or caused corruption in some of the files in the phone’s software. Please be sure to back up the information on your phone and the go to Settings> About Phone> Factory Reset.

I'm glad I am not the only one having this issue. (T-Mo USA) Mine started acting up last night with my 3G being EXTREMELY slow loading web pages and then ultimately not being able to load anything. Then this morning I am unable to send text messages, but randomly I will receive many emails and texts (like I only have a connection for a few seconds), then when I try to reply I am unable to send. Very frustrating.
i too have experienced this so here are some tips. For me i only get this problem when pressing send and right away press the home key or back key which interrupts the sending process result of fail sending. Enabling 3g if you dont have it is another problem so disable it. I also get this problem when locking the phone right after i press send so wait till it finish and then lock .
i hope this helps, if not restart the phone, and if that doesnt help take it to tmo and exchange =)
I've had this problem on my Omnia 7 since day one. Always have to disable my damn data.
And the ***** of it is when I go to re-enable data afterwards I have wait a few minutes to get it working again. Sometimes I have to turn the phone off and on in order to get data.
It's not a cell carrier problem since on my Diamond 2 I never had a problem, and the same thing with the x10.
Same problem with Samsung Focus on Bell. After NoDo update, SMS has been useless. I will get SMS, although often late. Sending is worst, I get the dreaded 'cannot send' message. I will occasionally be able to send some. Wondering if it's a signal issue. However, I can send just fine putting my SIM in another phone.
I've had T-mobile HD7 since last november, my girlfriend and I exchange about 30 messages every day, never had this problem before the NoDo update, not even once, no matter how bad the signals were. Im 99% sure its NoDo update causing this not t-mobile network. It's so annoying when you text somebody then go do something else, 20 minutes later you check back and see this un-happy face and can't send message.
BTW, Factory Reset won't help, tried that.

It will happen occasionally if I'm on Edge network. If I have a solid 3g signal it never happens.
I haven't been receiving phone calls for over a week now. The only notable thing around-ish the time I stopped receiving them is when I updated my P.A.C. rom. I have since tried a different rom, and even returned the phone to stock Sprint RUU but nothing has worked. I still don't receive calls at all. Texts work fine, data works fine. Any ideas on why calls don't come through?

Not without more info about your phone and what you have done. It could be anything from a borked radio to no one wanting to talk to you...

Lol. It could be the radio, but then wouldn't I not be able to get texts or make calls? I rooted/unlocked it when it was first released, switched between roms a bit, stuck with PAC for the last month or so. Since about a week ago I haven't received calls. It may have been around-ish the time I updated to the most recent version of PAC. I did dirty installs over the previous versions, but all were 4.3 roms. I've had people call me to be sure, it rings and rings until it goes to voicemail on their end, but nothing happens on my phone. I tried to fix it today. I returned it to stock via the Sprint RUU and re-locked it. No dice. I think re-rooted and did s-off, installed slim bean, still no go. I can make calls just fine. I can get and send texts just fine. My data is working just fine.

I would think that applying RUU would have cleared up the issue. you might try RUU and then back to sprint store and see if they can fix it. other wise check you RUIM/SIM to NV settings.
Hey guys, Basically I live in Ireland and bought my friends nexus 6 when he got a new phone.
It was working great and I rooted 5.1.1 and when I saw The (only android 6.0 available) marshmallow update available on NRT I dirty-flashed it, after seeing a thread on reddit saying dirty flashing to marshmallow hadnt caused them any device defects
Had no complaints until I tried to call my sister today (admittedly the first call id made in the first two weeks of owning the phone) and it said "Sorry you don't have access to the service"
So I played around with some reboots and sim reinserting and was surprised to see that when I changed to 2g Mode, It could make the calls! Really strange, is there any chance that the marshmallow image released on NRT would've had bands specific to US carriers?
I can make calls via whatsapp for the time being I guess Lol, but if anyone could give me a headsup as to what I did wrong ( or even a solution) Id be pretty grateful!
Thanks,
Nick
wipe data/system then flash again. you should never dirty flash between 2 different android versions. and dont listen to anyone else, i bet they do have issues.
Thanks for the help but sadly this didnt work for me at all!
Was playing around last night after I reflashed and I went to system apps and on seeing telephone and phone (two seperate apps , normal?) I disabled 'phone' for a second and could place a call successfully over 3g - but obviously with no dialer interface whatsoever because the app was disabled. Ive rooted and custom flashed alot of my phones but this has me puzzled
I had this problem on a previous phone. What happened is that it was stuck on LTE only. I know this phone has volte, but try messing with mobile connection
Hello,
My P9 (which was bought from O2 UK that I use on GiffGaff) recently received the Nougat update. Before this update my phone worked absolutely fine with no issues with either wifi or mobile signal. Since this update however, my wifi signal is significantly weaker than it was before, but more annoyingly, my phone is CONSTANTLY dropping signal.
I cannot say how often this drop out occurs, as sometimes there will be only a minute or so between drops, and at others much longer. The drop outs themselves can last from as little as 5 seconds to 30+ seconds.
Before we go on, my girlfriend has a P9 Lite (also from O2 running on Giffgaff) which has not been updated yet and she experiences none of the same issues that I do. Her phone will be at full signal whilst my phone next to hers will be on 'Emergency Calls Only'. Again, I never had these issues prior to this update (I believe I updated the phone on Thursday or Friday night).
Additionally I am having loads of issues with notifications which no longer seem to appear, my main concern however is the signal issues.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Sammy.
After this update I'd a lot of problems of connectivity until I realized that my phone wasn't able to read its own IMEI number. Check it on settings->about your phone
I followed some of the tutorials about installing Nougat with no problems and I got to fix it.

Thanks, I checked and it appears my phone has no issues with reading the IMEI number, so that doesn't seem to the be the problem.
What exactly did you do to resolve your connectivity issues?
Thanks
I have a Pixel 4xl on Spectrum. Since my phone updated to Android 12 I have been unable to make phone calls on cellular and data randomly drops, you can watch it flash off and on several time, randomly. I get a Verizon error message. I can make calls on wifi only. After security and bug fix it worked for a short time then back to not working. My wife has the same phone and hers worked but dropped calls randomly anywhere between 1-10 minutes. Hers works a little better now but still has issues sometimes. After all this I rooted mine so I won't keep loosing data while working on it. In rooting I had to reinstall the factory ROM. I can now make calls on cellular but now drops calls between 1-10 minutes. Has anyone else seen this? Should I just go back to 11, if so which factory image do I use and how do I install it. I am rooted but not custom recovery installed.

I seem to have faxed it. Contacted Spectrum for the second time and they had me reset the network settings and it seems to have fixed it. Settings->System->Reset options->Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth
