Anyone else tried and succeeded to send/receive MMS? I just today tried to send my first one. Errored out as unsuccessful. On the phone with AT&T now. They tried sending me a test mms, and I cannot download it. I'm currently on LTE, but when i originally tried to send it, I was on "4g" or hsdpa.
I'm not sure what might be going on, but I sent probably a dozen or so yesterday with no issues. Here's hoping it's a setting or something, and not a faulty unit

Same
Had the problem all day on a drive from Orlando to Atlanta. Tried again in Atlanta around 8PM, and it went right through.
ATT Phone Support did not have the first clue. Why am I not surprised?!
very interesting. I got transferred to the 2nd tier tech support with AT&T and she just kept trying things and asking me to reboot and try again. Weird thing was they would send me a test mms msg and I couldn't download/view the attachment they sent. But after she rebooted/reset it, it seemed to be fine, and has been ever since. I was in downtown Dallas when this problem was occurring earlier today.
Something is causing data connectivity issues. I'm not sure if it is on the provisioning site or not but after a few reboots, you should be fine.

Hey everyone,
I really need your help. I have a serious problem with my Sony Xperia Z 6603. I have spent too much time trying to troubleshoot this on my own so now I need your help and invite any if they have experienced the same. The synopsis:
At times, when utilizing my phone for phone calls, I got repetitive and persistent dropped calls.
Background info:
- City is Winnipeg of Canada
- Fido is my provider (essentially Rogers network)
- I have an LTE micro sim card (although Winnipeg hasn't had LTE rolled out just yet)
- I am rooted ONLY and on .434
- I have mobile network configured as follows:
- I use the LTE APN and select it on when in cities that have LTE
- Fido's website states this about bands:
Specs on the Z are as follows:
Now onto the symptoms....
The dropped calls occur sometimes when I am in a call, other times immediately when trying to dial out. An example would be, I'm driving and currently on a call, suddenly it cuts me off and my attempt to redial just keeps cutting me off from even placing the call. Wait a bit, keep driving, and now I can call again.
This problem happens in certain locations in the city. For instance at home I can be in calls for awhile, but there is this one part of the city for instance (just SW of the airport) and about a 2-3km radius that no matter what I do, placing a call is virtually impossible and yes signal strength appears normal. Also it appears that data is working normally. When I say impossible I will attempt the same call up to 10 times, each and every one dropping, some when 30 seconds into the call, others when immediately trying to dial out.
I also noticed that it also occurs while driving and talking for long periods. In other words, in a call normally and for a lengthy duration while transiting through the city and then suddenly drops perhaps while the phone is switching towers (a thought).
It's really bad. This is becoming impossible to tolerate and embarrassing to my customers and friends I speak with.
I downloaded an app from the play store called 'GSM Signal Monitoring' (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.signalmonitoring.gsmsignalmonitoring&hl=en) to compile more information. Here are some screenshots but don't really know how to interpret the data. I see the db levels appear normal for a signal but not sure why the graphs reflect sudden spikes like that, perhaps my issue? Also notice in the graphs when the color changes for a new line, I believe when transitting from one tower to the next while driving. I was hoping some of you could perhaps try this app and compare what your results look like to mine, especially if you happen to be utilizing this phone in Winnipeg as well. Or if you know already, provide some insight on these results....
Things I have tried in my troubleshooting:
- Rebooting
- Switching DATA off completely (this seemed to provide a fix at times, but not at all times)
- Called FIDO and had them perform a "switch" or "network" reset of my phone on their end
Things to consider:
- The LTE micro sim is fairly new (upgraded it about 2-3 weeks ago)
- There are times when the phone works as it should and calls are placed and held normally (such as from within my home, SE corner of the city) but even near my home, while driving, I've had the calls drop but don't forget this doesn't just happen ONLY when I'm driving/transiting. There are spots where I am situated and can't place any calls without it dropping either shortly after or within 60 seconds of connecting.
I am really hoping that someone out there can help me resolve this issue or at least provide some direction from here. I purchased it from the UK so if it's a hardware issue I will probably have to send it back to the UK for the warranty to be honored.
Thank you for taking the time to read my dilemma!
Have you deleted any system applications?
Have you tried to use,2g only,3g only....

Awhile ago I used "App Quarantine" to quarantine some apps that I wasn't using. Since you brought this up though I had a look again in the quarantine list and also noticed the following 'com.xxxx files in quarantine as well which I never placed in there myself so I have no clue if that's normal or if they are associated with the apps I quarantined \, and no didn't select 2G or 3G ONLY, but I have switched DATA off entirely:
Not sure but could be some of this app is needed by the system,and causing the call drop.
Did you have this issue before rooting?
Best place to start is a stock no rooted firmware.
You can also try deleting fast-dormancy-wakeup.apk .odex
Or try 2g only.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Thanks for the feedback. Just curious what the correlation between using 2G vs 3G would be with phone call reliability? And what is the 'fast-dormancy-wakup.apk .odex you are referring to?
Honestly I think I did have this issue before rooting but very difficult to be certain of this.
So I took everything out of quarantine and no changes. Still dropping calls.

I thought I was the only one in the world having the same problem back then when I first got my phone in march.... But it looks like yours might suffer the same thing as mine did. I live in Alberta.
My friend, when the call drops, does the signal appears to be resetting itself?
What is the longest call time that you ever have on this phone?
When did you get your phone, was it like that when you first got it
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
The feeling is mutual! There are times (or more specifically areas) where my phone behaves normally. In my home I can stay in a call forever. However about 2km away when driving on this particular road, at the same point every time, my call will drop. It does not appear that the signal/network is resetting itself when this happens (ie drops to no signal and comes back). I got my phone when it was released, actually this one is my second, I cracked the screen on my first one within a week. I can't quite recall if I had these issues from the beginning because as stated it happens when I am moving around.
I am now about to try to restore my phone to factory but before I do, I am wondering if I use the backup/restore app included, will I retain all my apps, their data/settings, and all my contacts and texts?
Should I use this app or PC Companion?
Do I need to do anything special or just use PC Companion for a restore to get back to stock settings (including un-rooting).
Thanks
I would suggest you to use the pc companion to repair the Rom. This will wipe all data from your phone just like the factory reset would.
If you did all these and found the phone still behaving like that, I think there might be something wrong with the hardware of the phone, it's highly recommend you return your phone for an exchange.
My first xperia z was like that, even worse I would say. Mine just won't let me call.. I never had the call time more than a minute it cut me off randomly, sometimes right away when the call was established, sometimes it cut me at 2 seconds..
When I got my replacement everything is just fine
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
Ya I figured it out. Just completed the restore with PC Companion. I did use the backup/restore function though to restore my contacts/texts/data/settings etc. Any chance you think by restoring this info the problem could migrate back? I can confirm I am not rooted anymore.
Now will test the phone calls. I will be in those areas where I know for sure my calls would drop, tomorrow. I'll report back. Really hope this works.
It might work. I do think it will solve the problem. Yours wasn't as bad as mine mine just wouldn't let me made any calls and the signal kept reseting whenever I call.
Good luck and will wait for your report.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
Tomorrow I head to an area where it was virtually 100% dropped calls for me so I will report back how it goes after the restore/unroot.
No changes I'm afraid Still the same behavior. My next move is to take 2 other phones with me now, one being an iPhone 4 and attempting to use in those same areas. I find it very strange behavior on my phone's part and wonder if it's an area issue but these are dense, populated areas.
Frustrated......
Or what you could also try is to borrow a sim card from someone and then test in those areas.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z using xda premium
I do have a spare sim card with FIDO. I just switched to the LTE card a few weeks ago. I guess I can call them and switch back to the older sim temporarily to see if the issue lies there. I will try the phones first. If I get the same symptoms with other phones, I will then try the sim card.
I have the same problem in about 4minutes my calls drop,doesnt matter were i am, on a side note dough,i use a normal sized simcard and cut it to fit my Z sooooo i guess my sim isnt playing nice with the Z ill get my microsim next week so i will report back and let you know if a completely new updated micro sim with lte enabled and ready is the fix
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the feedback, in a couple hours I'll be in one of those areas where I experience this and will try my iPhone 4 and then try switching back to an older Fido micro sim. I'll report this afternoon.
So interestingly today my iPhone 4 dropped a call in the same area. It also was having signal issues, cutting in and out, but managing to maintain the call too in various spots. So I'm starting to believe now that this may be a network issue with my provider and the area in question. I find it very odd though that it can be such a large and dense area. There is about a 2 mile stretch of this road where I frequently receive dropped calls. How can that possible in a city?? By the way I also swapped the sim cards when trying all this out.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that it's right on the approach path of a runway at the international airport, or near a military base? Keep in mind that I do occasionally get the dropped calls in other spots in the city as well but this area specifically is terrible.

Omg...runway...i experienced it aswel when i mentiont it yesterday now i think of it it was along side schiphol airport amsterdam a mayor one,it could be one of the sources of the bug,i think it could be more reasons in the equation like,old sim,no lte sim,thus maybe bad contact with sim,radio interferrence ect.ect.
I gues al those factors in on the call droppin

An update. Perhaps the most intriguing thing I have found so far but not exactly sure what it means.
If I switch my data to GSM only (ie Edge) the phone calls instantly become rock solid. No more dropping. As soon as I switch back to WCDMA mode (3G & HSPA+) the problem comes right back.
Starting to sound more and more like a network issue with the provider. I have relayed this info to my cell provider and they are looking into it and getting back to me.
Anyone else find this?
I got the phone yesterday after work and started my set up and after messing around all night and today I noticed I was unable to send or receive text. After talking to Sprint it seems it is my Airave that is keeping it from sending and receiving. Once unplugged it sends and receives just fine.
Has any else had this issue and found a way to correct it?
I have the same issue, called Airave support yesterday and they were gonna look into it and call me back today.... nothing as of yet. I also can't even make phone calls on the Airave either though, get some goofy message when trying to make a call.
That would explain my crappy text service last night. Roam widget won't work either, don't know if roaming is working. Anyone else (not to derail the op)?

Yeah my Airave had the multiple texts issue if I was texting "too fast", but I've learned how to work around that and just not text too much too fast. However, when my ONE was on the Airave, it wouldn't send at all, just gave me the red exclamation point. I also tried making phone calls and they wouldn't go through. Works find on my old EVO 4G. Will keep posted on anything I can find out.
Yea with my Evo Lte I got the multiple text issue, but with the One I too can't send with the Airave plugged in only thing I could do was unplug and then I could send text.

I had this issue as well on Friday night when I got home with two new HTC Ones. The issue comes down to the Airave and the MSID of your phones. The Airave tech I spoke to told me that the Airave was holding on to the MSID on the old phones. Here is how they resolved it:
Airave support first wanted me to modify the MSID on the old deactivated phones. Unfortunately, the old deactivated phones were running CM 4.2.2, so the EPST codes they wanted me to dial would not work. If you have a semi-stock ROM running on your old phone, you may be able to solve the issue by following the Airave support instructions and resetting the MSID on the old phone.
With my scenario, they had me modify the MSID on both of the new HTC Ones. Call into Airave support (866-556-7310), and they should be able to walk you thru changing the MSID on your new HTC One.
After completing their steps, both of the NEW HTC Ones are working great. Airave coverage now works for calls, text, and data. When I leave Airave coverage, everything works as it should.

Only way I know how to stop the repeating messages is to reboot your phone. The other person would tell me that it was sending her the same message more than once so I just rebooted and that seemed to stop it

This seemed to fix it for me:
1. Unplug Airave.
2. Update PRL on phone; reboot it.
3. Turn phone on airplane mode.
4. Plug in Airave and wait for it to boot completely.
5. Turn off airplane mode and wait for it to establish data connection.
6. Test.
Sending & receiving texts worked, as did making/receiving calls.

What steps did they take in your situation? I usually just had to update my prl, profile, and power cycle the Airave with no phone call to tech support. I just got mine yesterday and haven't had any issues sending or recieving texts or phones calls inbound or outbound with the HTC One so far at least! My GS3 used to receive multiple texts and not send them out when sent. I have the 2.5 Airave in my home. Which Airave do you have??
Worked for me, good find. Still never received a call back from Airave tech support, shocker

Hi Guys, new user long time lurker here.
Getting to the point, my HTC One was doing amazing until I woke up this morning. It is currently running ARHD 3.2, the stock google rom and I've been loving it. I was getting mms last night, woke up in the morning and I couldn't send or receive them. I have tried everything. I wiped it, flashed it again, wiped it, then (the weirder part) restored a backup of ARHD which was the tweaked Sense rom, I believe it was 12, and I still had the same problem. i've removed APN, added them, changed them, and still nothing. Any ideas? I've also changed my messaging apps, moved to Textra, and still nothing. Logically it seems as though something has been removed or edited in my phone that causes the block, but even a restore which was from 32 days ago still cannot send mms. I'm stumped. Also I have made sure my data was on and all that stuff.
Thanks guys, I appreciate anything you can help me with.

Lower bergen county, near Newark Nj. seems to be trend happening here!
I've been on the phone with support for awhile now, nothing has changed on my phone, they said they reset my network when I turned it off like twice, now I can receive them but not send them.
Late update, but this happened to both my phone (Trickdroid 9) and my girl's (stock, unrooted) that night. Working now, but it was annoying as all hell.
New issue. I can now send and receive pictures! awesome! Bad news: while I am connected to wifi, I do not have anything other than minimum service, so I can only text and call! I understand that the wifi is being used, but I can't send or receive mms for example if i'm on a wifi network. is it as simple as fixing an APN? or changing it? Anything possible? Searching only gets me people who want to turn of LTE with wifi so I'm stumped!
I am on Three network in the UK and they have an app that you can use on wifi when no signal is present (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hutchison3g.threeintouch&hl=en_GB). Unfortunately, it doesn't run on rooted phones and no root cloak app hides root from detection. I have come across this page https://redfern.me/bypassing-root-detection-in-three-intouch/ as a how to change the APK to bypass root restrictions but as I am clueless I could not do this myself.
Is there anyone who would be kind enough to do this for me (or does anyone already have this APK?).
Thanks in advance.

Just wondering as you're also on 3 with an N6... I constantly get data dropping out and have to flick into airplane mode and back again to get it back. I think its a lollipop issue because i had it on my n5 after the update. It happens on the stock rom and on PureShamu. That damn exclamation mark on the signal symbol is driving me nuts! It happens everywhere, too not just on a few towers...

Sorry for the off topic, but I've got one of those signal boosters from 3 with my nexus 5. Back story, the mast here failed a lot last year. When its working, signal here is fine son I told them i don't want a box...
They sent it anyway and I've had no end of problems with it. It all works fine, I get great signal with it and the box lights up to indicate its connected to the internet. But randomly, it wont send calls to my handset... So I miss calls (without knowing)... Worst time was when my Dad came to visit my village for the first time and was just wondering around for ages trying to find me... Gah

I had the same issue with missing calls and just receiving a missed call notification. I've found a work around; when I arrive home I place a call from my mobile to my land line and then it seems that for the rest of the time I am home the mobile is connected to 3 through the homesignal box.

Just wondering as you're also on 3 with an N6... I constantly get data dropping out and have to flick into airplane mode and back again to get it back. I think its a lollipop issue because i had it on my n5 after the update. It happens on the stock rom and on PureShamu. That damn exclamation mark on the signal symbol is driving me nuts! It happens everywhere, too not just on a few towers...

That's interesting.
What's strange is, i was definitely connected to the box. In fact, I don't even need the box usually but there was a brief outage on the mast so I turned it on and forgot to turn it off again. The network worked outside of my house, but when I came home and connected, I couldn't receive calls not even missed call..

I have a signal blackspot radius of around 800ft from my flat. The only problem I've had so far is when I upgraded from a Nexus 5 to a Nexus 6 I needed a nano sim and of course the homesignal box wouldn't recognise the new sim card!
