OK I just flashed ComRom 2.0 and i started noticing that My txt were not sending. So I did the *228 option 2 then they all send . Is this normal after flashing a new rom?
Anyone Know why this might happen?
I have no idea but I've had the same problem and found no causes... the only thing that fixes it for me is a reboot or a rewipe/reflash, problem with my fascinate is the txting stops working every week or so.. haven't found any perm. fixes or reasons why it does that

bsannes: Yes, that's normal, and it's always a good idea to do that after flashing a ROM. *228 option 2 (or *22891 to skip the prompt) updates your Preferred Roaming List, or PRL, which essentially tells your phone which towers it should connect to.
It's an even better idea to do *228 option 1 instead (or *22890 to skip the prompt) -- that programs the MDN, MIN and Home SIN as well as updating the PRL. You don't need to do option 2 if you do option 1, mind you, as it covers both.
Note that you won't always (or even most of the time) necessarily have problems if you don't perform the above after a ROM flash, but I can tell you from personal experience that if you dont/forget to there is a definite chance you'll have missing or disappearing texts or calls.
Anoninja: What you described is decidedly not normal -- if it were a programming issue I think texting should either work or not -- though I'd still suggest doing a *22890 and seeing if it fixes your problem.

I've tried and nothing fixes it.. MMS will work fine at the same time though but SMS stops working, I've just come to the conclusion that I have a defective phone or I messed something up in my early days of rooting/flashing

Great thank you for the replies just wanted to make sure I didn't bork something up lol but the phone has been doing good since I *228.
Thanks again for the answer

Like the title says, everytime I flash a new one, or if I flash ziggy kernel especially I cannot get voice calls or data, i get radio interface shortage errors when texting ect, i have to do the ##3282# reset about 5 times to get anywhere, any theories or suggestions? I haven't seen anyone else with this problem and it started when I flashed xron ROM a few nights back..
Are you a google voice user? Are you gsm or cdma?
I only use google voice for voicemail, its Sprint CDMA
Did you update your radios AND firmware? I think the file was radio firmware nohboot or something like that?

It doesn't happen to me EVERY time, but I find myself having to go through the whole reprovisioning and re-setting data thing a lot more than I would prefer to. Hell, I've had 6 of these handsets since release date and I've had to **** around with this issue right out of the box on EVERY one! Love the phone but cmon HTC....wtf!! They really screwed the pooch on this phone, lol.

My problems are usually data problems. As far as losing voice, that happened once after using one of the older "superwipe" files floating around. Took a whole Saturday to get it back, had to get Sprint involved...boy was I pissed! Been using XRON superwipe lately and it's doing the trick!
Try ##scrtn# from dialer then enter your msl. After it reboots let us know if that works.

Still didn't help, when I go to more info on the radio interface shortage error the error code is 67,wasn't that the code a lot of people were getting after revolutionary first came out?
Call sprint and have them reset on their end....and good luck

I might have to do this, for some reason this actually happens after every single reboot, had to clarify that.
This happened to me too, even with those resets you are talking about I wasn't able to fix it. You have to call sprint, they do something on their end, guide you through the same process you are talking about, and then it works. Dial 611, tell them the error and any error code you have. Apparently they are familiar with it because they know exactly what you are facing and know how to fix it without doing any research or any other diagnostic steps.
I don't think this problem has anything to do with HTC, or the phone itself. I think it has to do with Sprints Google Voice integration. I use GV for voicemail only and I have this problem every once in s while. Next time it happens, try making the call using GV. If it works you know this is your problem. For some reason, even though you have it set up differently, GV will take over. This is a completely separate issue from the error 16 that a lot of people are getting with this phone. If it is an error 16 a simple call to Sprint will fix it. If it is the GV integration thing, then it is much harder to fix and rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik will sometimes fix the problem. Also, reflashing the kernel will sometimes fix it too. I haven't figured out a definite way to fix it yet though. It seems every time this happens, it takes something different to fix it.
I'm actually not even setup to make calls on google voice, I went directly onto the voice. Google. Com website and changed the settings to voicemail only and turned off all other integration.. Can it still be interfering?

Yes. Mine is set up the same way and when this happens if I choose to ask me every time I make a call in the GV app settings and choose GV to make the call it goes through, but when I chose do not use GV it won't work. I get a message that says, "I'm sorry, we are unable to complete your call at this time. Please try again later" and that's it. Since the Google Voice integration with Sprint I have noticed that no matter who you are calling you must dial 1, then the area code, then the # even if it is a local call.
So I found out that nobody is receiving my texts anymore on my vibrant. I upgraded to cm7 worked great then I did the nightly upgrade and it will still say its sent but people don't receive them. So I wiped everything started again upgraded to miui and I still have the same problem. Could there be something wrong with my network settings I messed with the testing setting a little (you know the *#*#4636#*#*) when i was tryin to fix the battery drain on cm7 which i never did
Make sure that your APNs are set correctly. There is one in there for data and wireless and also one for MMS. I find that when I have had problems like this in the past it has been due to those SMS/MMS settings being missed.
If i were you i'd just give TMO a call and ask what your APN is just to be sure that its not different or anything...
If i had this problem on more than one rom, i'd panic and do that right away.
I used to be a text-er like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
I sure hope, I'm not having the same problem.
Hello,
Two problems (very likely unrelated):
Issue 1: I haven't been able to receive any mms. Is this a known problem for custom roms, and/or does it relate to my service provider? I am using PagePlus. Do I need to manually edit or delete something?
Issue 2: I can't blacklist specific text message senders. This seems like a major oversight to me, but I'm not a dev ... maybe it's extremely difficult to do. I don't want to block texts completely.
An app would be fine, but I don't want to put closed-source stuff on my phone.
Using Cyanogen 7.2. Googled these issues several times since installing about a year ago.
Please assist if you can solve either mystery...thanks

Hey about your MMS issue for one do you have it through service? Or maybe you have to go back to stock to update prl, have you tried Google voice?, also could use Google voice to help block ppl

Issue 1: not normally a problem but it does happen,,, generally 2 options will get you back going,,, i use pageplus too and experienced it 1 time only,,,
Option 1 ;; odin flash back to stock eh03 boot up, don't activate yet,,, then do process to flash cm7 or newer, recommend a jellybean cm10.1 android 4.2.2 ROM though,,, then activate phone,,, not 100% sure this works but it should
Option 2 for PagePlus users:: it's called an esn swap,,, it it requires an old phone capable of pp phone activation (any old non-smart cdma Verizon phone will work too , or someone willing to let you borrow theirs for the process)
A PagePlus csr can do this for you if you call in,,, or online dealers can do this too, some charge for doing it though,,,, you are gonna need the esn/imeid # for both phones and the phone #'s,,,
What you are doing is powering off both phones, and activating the temporary phone with your # and make a test call, l, then make sure power is off on both and re-activating your fassy phone with your #
(It took me longer to type this than it would to do an esn swap)
.
Just bought a Z5 compact to replace my second Z3 compact... and upon backing up DRM keys and then re-flashing, unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery TWRP to install a ROM, have tried two variants of LOS and two other ROMs... NONE of which can receive calls.
what.the.actual.****.
all calls go straight to voicemail.
some outgoing calls simply don't go through (need to try 2x or 3x to even get carrier support)
and occasionally, when trying above, dropped "no network" and phone signal resets.
i've tried re-flashing various .ftf files (i'm based in US and am using a US based .ftf i compiled now... with clean flash).. nothing seems to be working. all symptoms the same across all .ftf files and ROMs.
about to return the phone as i can't crack this one. (but have years using /rooting android devices - never seen anything like this).
any ideas??? all help appreciated!!
thanks in advance.
Sounds like there's problem with the antenna?
Having the same problem. Nothing wrong with the antenna--can make calls, just takes 2-3 tries. I suspect that it possibly has to do with handover from 4G to whatever it's using for the call (the handover is too slow), and/or the fact that VOIP isn't working with my carrier (US T-Mobile).
Try forcing it to 3G (WCDMA preferred/GSM) in Settings > More > Mobile Networks.

This does fix the problem with incoming and outgoing calls (I set it to 2G preferred, not to 3G). However, as a result, you don't have fast internet access (which, of course, is necessary for basically everything the phone does minus SMS and plain old phone calls).
I went into the "Testing" menu (dial *#*#4636#*#*) --> Phone information --> three dots in upper-right-hand corner --> Select Radio Band --> US, or whatever's appropriate. This is leaving 4G preferred.
Based on very limited information (a couple outgoing calls that took only one try), things are somewhat better. I could be wrong, though: I haven't had any incoming calls (...that I know of).

Is there a good app that will auto drop to 2g when screen is off? I used to do this to save battery life, but sounds like it would also help solve this situation - agree that symptomatially, sounds like the issue is switching between 4g and 2g/3g - so would love to give this a try.
Any ideas on reco apps to set "2g when screen off" ? and also enable a widget that will force switch?

It's an Xposed module afaicr...
My phone did actually ring today (...spam, but still). I think the change in the Testing menu, as described above, has made a real improvement.

i've gotten SOME rings that come through and some that go straight to VM.
I've also seen my phone "pause" or "hitch" right before taking an incoming call successfully (suspecting this is the 'difficulty' we are guessing about between switching from 2/3g to 4g or vice versa which is causing problems)
half my calls still going straight to VM. Which actually isn't a horrible thing. except when i want to receive them. lol.
I guess its a issue with the baseband aka modem.
Try to flash different versions and recheck. It can take some time to find the besteht baseband for your area and provider.

Is it possible / advisable to flash *just* the baseband? Where would one find files for just the baseband? I'd prefer to avoid extracting from .ftf , but if that's necessary I'll do it.
Has there been progress with this? This is exactly my problem, faulty reception. Glad to hear you used a stock US rom. Mine is stock Australian, I am in US. So that seems not the problem. What about kernel? Have you tried different ones or compiled something? It is a software problem, should be solvable.
To flash baseband only get a .54 firmware ftf, flash it, in the exclude section - exclude everything but amss stuff and baseband. I will edit post with exact names cuz I'm outside rn
Edit: AMSS_FS_1, 2 and FSG and also MODEM.
Unlocked phone on T-mobile, US.
I'm not sure when this gets started, but I've noticed it after the April update. When on VoLTE, there's no sound for incoming or outgoing calls. When on WiFi Calling, it auto hangs up as soon as the call is picked up.
Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I had an issue recently where all calls I made (wifi calling or though the stock dialer app) would auto hangup and never go through. Incoming calls seemed to work fine though.
I did a factory data reset and set everything up back from scratch, that was the only way to fix it. This maybe something worth trying if you haven't done it already.
If you do a restore of any backup data (i.e. smartswitch, google backup) I would suggest using the google backup and not the smartswitch this time. I made a smartswitch backup before the factory data reset, but ended up not being able to use it. Everytime I did a restore with the backup the same thing would happen. I had no problems with the google backup.
Also if the problem persists (or if you opt to do so anyways, maybe worth trying anyways) I would call T-Mobile support and ask them if there are any problems or etc. It maybe possible they are working on the towers near you, as one time my service was being a little quirky and it was due to them doing some low/mid band additions on nearby towers. They may just need to refresh your phone on there end or send you a replacement sim card in case a problem exists with the one you have..

Thank you so much for the input! I'm going to factory reset this evening. And if it still persists probably call Tmo. But I guess the chance is low, my other device works just fine with Tmo (both wifi calling and volte)
Let's see! Have a good one!
