Alright, So I'm on CM7.2 RC0 KANG. I have the stock UCKH7 modem with Default APN settings (Default for CM7.2). HSPA+ and 3G are enabled, never seen my phone's 2G/Edge icon, don't even know if it has such.
Most of the time, I recieve and send texts on time. But the last few days (and occasionally before) I send a text, it says it's sent on my phone, but the end user doesn't get it for a couple of hours. This is happening with certain people/networks.
I haven't seen this issue with Sprint users (I text 3 sprint users about 30 a day in, 30 out combined). They are able to receive and send me texts with no issues. (so far)
As for ATT, I text my close friend very often, nearly 50texts in and 50 out a day. Lately she receives my text around 12PM every day if I send my texts out after 9 or 10PM. I get her texts at around 4AM every day (they just woke me up, about 10 of them).
My other friend on Verizion usually gets them, but today I just got 4 texts at the same time as the previous girls texts. Just a bit before 4AM.
I don't know of anyone on T-Mobile, but I'll try to test it out with mates from Uni.
It's not location based. Sometimes when I'm texting from different locations this happens as well. Yesterday I was out shopping and two conversations died, they stopped replying, and I got all their texts some time during the night.
Before this phone I had a 3GS and I -never- had any of these issues at my house or on the move, so I know it's not my area.
Does anyone know what this is? My phone's defective? Bad modem? Bad antenna?

its the carrier iq they are reading it lol.
Go into messaging hit menu select setting go down to sms settings and you message centre number should be +13123149810, maybe that is it. Make sure auto-retrieve is enable as well.

I don't think I have the SMS center settings, but auto retrieve is checked
Btw, don't think the S2(ours atleast) had CIQ. Lol
Its an issue with my phone. I got my mates phone and sent the girl the same text from both of our S2 and she got his. Replied too. Gonna call ATT to see if I can get a replacement. Same rooms and same modems. I rooted both phones. Good thing my jig just came in.

No problem man. I'll post an update to see what Att does.
Hi XDa folk,
Got a problem with my new Samsung galaxy S2 that's stumping (and infuriating me). It's tricky to Google a solution for.
ISSUE: Several times a day, for several minutes at a time, I'm unable or send or revive text messages. During this ~5 min window I am also unable to make or receive calls. Outgoing texts will time out and outgoing call just stay at "dialing" and then time out. The issue resolves itself after a few minutes.
NOTES:
• This started when I switched to an iPhone on Sprint from my Samsung Epic 4g on Sprint. Thinking it was the iPhone issue, I switched to a Galaxy SII... which does the exact same thing.
• I have signal bars the whole time
• my girlfriend, who shares the cell plan and my house never has this issue (she has an Evolution 4g)
• tried updating the PRL, profile and even had Sprint reset my MSID#.
• happened on stock EK02 ROM, and rooted EL29 roms.
I am SO stumped. The fact that it happens on two phones implies a carrier issue... but I'd be delighted if any of you geniuses have ideas as to what's causing this?
Thanks!
If you're still on stock firmware and ought to have good signal (outside, within range of a cell tower) your problems are likely your provider's. Why not call them up? You may be able to get some swag (or a reduced bill) if you complain loudly enough.

Ahhh, but I have. They even escalated it after a tech had no idea. They offered to give me a totally new # to try and fix it. Um, no thanks! As this tech was not, shall we say, technical, I thought I'd post here in case anyone has any ideas.
Hi All,
I am facing very strange problem with my S2 these days. Whenever I am on a long call, it disconnects exactly after 1 hour. I initially thought that it is because of my carrier Airtel who might be dropping calls that exceed 1 hour duration. However, I noticed something strange in the call history that made me suspect my handset. Call history shows all such dropped calls of 00:00:01 duration i.e. just 1 second which looks very strange to me and raises my suspicion. I tried to google this problem but could not find anything relevant.
Is anyone aware of such issue on S2 and know how to resolve this?
Thanks.
as far as i can tell, it's with the carrier.. it happens to me on two different networks, call drops after exactly one hour.. one network on my s2, another network on my cheap nokia phone..

But does your S2 show call duration of 1 second for all such dropped calls?
At times, when I am using wifi calling, the incoming call directly goes to voice mail. I don't get the ring. This has happened to me more than a couple of times.
Out going calls are working fine, even when incoming calls are directed to voice mail. Incoming calls work after I turn off and turn on wifi.
Tmobile signal is very weak in my apartment and I rely on wifi calling to make/receive calls.
I am wondering if this is issue with my phone only..
Is any one else facing this issue?
I hope there is a fix for this issue..
It happened to me sometimes in the past (sgs4) and I think also one time with the sgs5.
How is your Wi-Fi signal? It might be that you are losing Wi-Fi from time to time and as a result you are being de-register from the T-Mobile network (and the incoming call is being diverted to voicemail).
Maybe try to keep the phone in a very good Wi-Fi coverage area for few hours, make some incoming test calls and see how it works?

I have the same problem. I turned on WiFi calling and my Son called from across the table and my phone never rang. Three times he tried and all three time it went to voicemail. I have excellent T-Mobile signal so I have turned off WiFi Calling. I also had an excellent WiFi signal when we were testing it.
Same problem here my boss called me 6 times and my girlfriend 3 times.. never got one call wth outgoing works every time though

In my case I figured it out. "conditional forwarding" was somehow turned on with the device. I didn't do it, and when I called t-mobile they turned it off, and it works fine. Doing the ##004# didn't clear it t-mobile had to do it in the provisioning profile.

have you found anything out about this issue yet ?
i have bought a new s5 and have same issue, no incoming calls unless i turn wifi off, then it works fine
sim card has been replaced, samsung have even replaced handset and exactly same occurs
i have turned off 4g so its only on 3g/2g
the network have turned off all call barring etc settings
if i put my sim in my old S3 it works flawless, if i put my wifes sim in my s5 it also works flawless
network or samsung cant work it out, its been factory reset like 6 times now its driving me mad
thanks Richard
Though I've only had the S5 (4 of them) for about a week, incoming calls usually work. There was one time in the past week where my wife's phone went to voicemail immediately (called 3 times, 3 times into VM). When I came home, I toggled wifi calling off and on, then it worked fine. Has been fine since.
Wifi signal at the time was as strong as can be.
Hopefully future firmware updates will make it more solid.
I have the same problem, come on Samsung, we need a fix, I am still in the first 14 days of my contract and have requested a replacement handset.
I don't get text when wifi calling is enabled. Just started happening to me after the NF6 upgrade. TMO said they have many people with the new update that this is being reported and might have it fixed in a day or two.
^^^ I thought that I was the only one having this problem. As it just started after doing the NF6 update. Wifi calling and texting has been real erratic, especially texts. If I restart the phone or switch airplane mode to off then back on texts go crazy for a little bit and then stops working again.

This phone has nothing but problems worth wifi calling and texts, missing calls and frankly for a $600 it's a joke. Not to mention battery covers falling off.

Has anyone found a fix for this? It just started happening again to me. Last time I was told need to shut off qifi calling first then, wifi when leaving the area of my wifi (home) worked for awhile, then recently found out I'm not getting calls again. Texts seem to work on I think, but not calls. Wifi calling is a must for me as tmobile signal is low in my house
Just got off the phone with tmobile apparently my "wifi" calling "provision" was not turned on my line. We'll see if it fixes the issue, we'll see. Just an FYI for people who still encounter this issue, might be worth the try

I started having this issue about 2 weeks ago. Its not restricted to texting, but both texting and calling. I bought the S5 back in February and had no problems when connected to Wifi at home. At times my connection would be over 10 hours, I could call, receive calls, text, surf no issues. After the slew of updates I started noticing that calls going to VM even though I was connected to the WiFi. No call would show up in the caller logs.
It was intermittent, and therefore escaped my attention. But recently the issue is more consistent. Following is a summary of what occurs:
1 - When Wi fi is enabled and connected and i try to make a call, they call goes through but immediately disconnects
2 - When Wi fi is enabled and I try to call it from another phone the call goes straight to VM
3 - When Wi fi is enabled and a friend texts me, the text does not show up
4 - In the rare instance when Wi fi is enabled and I do manage to call out the call will disconnect after about 5 minutes
5 - I am able to surf and receive and send emails over wifi
Essentially this $700+ phone has just become a pricey laptop. I did call T-Mobile Tech support, and after an hour on the phone they issued a ticket that pushes the issue up to the engineers. Still waiting to hear from them.

I have almost all the issues you listed above, and the only fix is to soft rest my phone every time i get home, then i call 611 to make sure my wifi calling is working.
I've been talking to tmobile for months, and before it seemed ok, then all of a sudden not "constantly" not working.
They "told" you an engineer is working on it...NO THEY ARE NOT.
My ticket sat in a queue from Sunday to Thursday because they are backed up.
If they tell you they will call you back,....no they wont.
I've gone through two "supervisors" supposedly, and still no resolution.
Supposed to get a call back from the 2nd one who is a higher person and/or "engineer" with a resolution....i'm not holding my breath.
They've lost all credibility with me and i will need to see some action in order for them to gain it back. Being with them for 13 years, when it was called Voicestream back then, and all i get is the run-around and more excuses to by themselves more time? That piss-poor customer service.
If 3 people have to ask me if my firmware up-to-date, WTH is the point of telling me you noted my account? Apparently the last person didn't of you didn't bother reading the notes after putting me on hold to say your're reviewing the notes on my account.
Sorry for the long rant, but short story, take what they tell you with a grain of salt and follow up with them daily if you want this issue fixed.

Wow! The 611 rep told me that they have not heard of this problem before. After the call I googled and came up with several hits dating back to 2013. This has been a problem in previous versions, but it was not a problem on the first S5, just the updates killed it.

LOL i'm not surprised. It's really sad, supposedly it's a known issue, from what some reps have told me before.
All they are doing is buying themselves times.
You should tell them to log onto a forum while your on the phone and/or do a google search and tell me it's still tell me they have not heard of the problem before.
MAYBE the "rep" never heard of it, but it should be all over their intranet or notes.
They told me, thats what some of release updates have been about.
I got the phone on launch day and already 2 firmware updates.
I could go on and on about the BS, but it's frustrating to bring up. Not sure how you feel, but for a $700+ phone, i want it to work without me having to reset for a feature that TMOBILE prides itself on.
i'll report back what they tell me. good luck to us both, we're going to need it.
