[Q] sms while in 3g - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

can anyone help
i seem to have a problem with sending a sms while 3g is on, everything else works fine. i've tried with a few custom roms but having the same prob with them. when i revert back to froyo 2.2.1 its ok.
ive searched all over google and on ere, a few people have had the same prob but the only solution i've found is using a app called automateit. But shouldnt it work without the need of this app
at the moment im using fla.sh custom rom. if i do the *#1234# i have
PDA: s5830xwkpn
PHONE: s5830xwkp6
CSC : NONE
apn settings for t-mobile
i flashed the rom from coderom 2
the problem is probably down to me, but have tried loads of stuff, from flashing just a csc file to checking and re checking apn settings and smsc number but still not able to text while 3g is on.
anybody know have any ideas thanks

anyone got a clue then. its doing my head in. think i narrowed it down to the modem file as i went back to stock froyo 2.2.1 which i can text while 3g is on and played around with csc files which no matter which one i chose as long as the apn settings were right i could still send a text.

Looking at the *#1234# thingy , how can you have NO csc ?

not sure really. flashed from coderom v2 to fla.sh. i do the *#1234' on the fla.sh rom and its gone. so checked to see if i have a csc file using root exployer. and not one there. so god knows.
but the main problem i have is sending a sms while in 3g, its has happend on all the custom roms that i've tried. so as not alot of people have asked about it then it must be me.
for instance to get from stock froyo 2.2.1
PDA: S5830XWKB7
MODEM: S5830XXKB1
CSC: S5830OXXKB6
to coderom v1 using odin
BOOT: S5830XXKPH
PDA: PDACODEROM
MODEM: S5830XXKPH
CSC: S5830SERKPH
i simply fill all the required fields in odin with the corresponding ones from what i downloaded. apboot to boot, modem to modem ect. is that right?
turned off, insert sim and sd card. reboot then checked apn settings. go to send a text. text comes back as failed. turn data off and it sends.
flash back to stock froyo and it all works again. the only way around it that i've found is using automateit app.
THANKS

This is the same problem with T Mobile. I think it is to do with the CSC I can't find the XEU CSC anywhere.

Hi i have tryed the following XEU SER OXX and all fail while on 3G.. I to have been haunted by this.. Im on orange uk.. I also think it has somthing to do with the modem.. Maybe flashing the modem from froyo and the rest from gingerbread might fix it.. Only other this is if i put an o2 sim in i have no problems at all.. Seem only to bother orange & t-mobile as i think they are now the same..

i think it does have something to do with the modem. i have fla.sh rom running at the mo, which i flashed from coderom v2, did the *#1234' and had no csc code at all. realising from that the only rom, as i've tried a few now, that i have been able to send a sms while 3g has been on was the stock froyo 2.2.1.
so what i've done now is extracted the whole contents of the csc file with 7zip. copied them to my sd card. and using root explorer copied, SW_Configuration (HML) CSCVersion (text) and the csc (Folder) over to /system. rebooted the phone and *#1234# again and now i have a csc which is OXXKB6, which is the one that came with stock. checked by doing *#INFO*IMEI# and it already changed to XEU and now have a list of sales code.
GOT EXCITED AT THIS POINT haha
sent a text and within secs came back as fail.........
tried flashing just the modem but dosnt boot up after. thats if i'm doing it right
odin - ops (cooper) - PHONE (modem) then start.
now i've googled about having a TMU sales code which is T-MOBILE but as i've read you only need this if your phone is branded to T-MOBILE. as my phone is not then i cant seeing this working but will give a go.
is there a way of flashing just a modem. ?????

I dod the same just flashing the modem file and wouldnt boot ither.. I think you need to use all files while flashing.. Boot code csc from ginger and modem from froyo all as same time.. If it work im affrade the SOD would come back but not 100% on that..

Did you try flashing with the following files..
BOOT (Gingerbread)
PDA (Gingerbread)
MODEM (Froyo)
CSC (Gingerbread)
Or maybe..
I saw a thread for the orange uk gingerbread rom.. Mayby you could use the MODEM file (as tmobile & orange are the same now).. I will be trying this at some point soon..

Or maybe even extract the message apps from the stock orange gingerbread rom (only this that be an issue is that i think its polish)..

Not sure guys. This seem to be a problem for Virgin, T-mobile and Orange users in the UK using SGA with Gingerbread. These companies share networks too, yes? The Virgin Community (self help) has some input from VM staff that suggests that they are aware of the issue and that's why they haven't released GB themselves for SGA - not sure that it's as simple as a quick file replacement to resolve. Apologies if I'm wide of the mark here as I'm new to Android but I would have though that if it was a single file/apk that they would have resolved it quickly?

---

But what about the leaked polish gingerbread rom for orange.. Wouldnt that not work or are the freq different???

This was posted on the VM Community Forums yesterday on a thread about GB on SGA:
"I am still new to the phone but so far I have had no issues sending texts (getting use to conversation style sms),calling (call quality not as good as my older Tocco) or browsing.
I got the deal on two phones last Thursday and insisted they had the latest gingerbread version. On receipt of the phones I installed Kies and tried a firmware update and received the not supported message. Following firmware version was displayed:
PDA:KPU / PHONE:KP7 / CSC:KP1(VIR)
Without checking the phone itself I called virgin support and couldnt tell me when the firmware would be released -however just before I was about to send them back I checked the "about" on the phone itself and was pleasantly surprised.
The phone itself reports
android 2.3.3
baseband version S5830XWKP7
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL48464 [email protected]#1
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKPU
I had also looked into alternative ways to flash the firmware(odin) but I guess this means unless you want to risk bricking the phone folk have to wait for virgin to release it I'm afraid."

Samsung working on a fix.....
Orange have posted this on their site....
"Handsets that currently have Android Gingerbread installed on the device may be having problems sending SMS (Text) messages.
This issue has been highlighted and Samsung are currently working on a resolution which should be available next week (02/10/2011)
As a temporary fix you can follow the below instructions to change your handset from 3G to 2G only which will allow you to send text messages"
So - fingers crossed!

Thanks!
I've installed the ROM mentioned in this thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284947) and it appears, so far, to have sorted out this issue. AT LAST!
