Hi,
I have a completely stock Galaxy s2 on O2-UK and it will not receive texts. I can send them but cannot receive! I do have a case but ive taken it off to see i thats the problem but it is not. Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
I would contact o2
Check your Message Centre number under Messaging > Settings. Find out what it should be for your carrier. If it the number is blank in your phone, or doesn't match what it should be for your carrier, fix it.

Change your SMS centre settings.
+447802000332 for Pay Monthly, or
+447802092035 for Pay & Go
Remember to check that the message centre number starts with +44 and not 0044
International settings
Make sure that International barring has been removed from your phone, then just follow these steps:.
Check the message centre settings (making sure the number starts with +44 and not 0044)
+447802000332 for Pay Monthly or
+447802092035 for Pay & Go
The correct pay monthly O2 number was there, i got it to work by going into settings>Wireless and network>Mobile network settings and changing my network operator then putting it to O2 again and my messages came through. But it stopped working AGAIN! And i had to repeat that. Is this a hardware problem?

Hmm Im sure its not a hardware problem. Try going in to the settings & changing the network selection from automatic to manual, try logging on to another network which should say no access eg Orange then log back onto o2. Your texts should start coming soon
some rom had a problem like you.
It is software problem.
I think it is not stock rom for your phone.

I got a problem:
I installed H1 modem a while ago and signal got worse and worse every day till now. Now it doesn't even find my home network at all. my old galaxy s2 finds it though. And when i restore a former backup which schould have a different modem within cwm says:
restoring data....android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of android_secure.
Could this be a virus??

No its not a virus, and a cwm backup doesn't backup your modem.
Flash a new one via Odin.

What do mean by that? Your home has different network?
If mobile network working fine outside your home, then is not your phone fault. Try contact your carrier.

Sorry with home network i meant my home carrier (like T- Mobile e.g.)
I tried that already with different modems which have been in use already. -> same Problem- phone finds differnent carrier networks but not my network.
hardwareproblem i can not imagine because it finds other networks. SIM card also works correct (i finds my network in other phones).
One thing that could be problem theoretically: I cut my Sim Card myself from mini sim to micro sim but till now i had no problems what makes me think it cant be my problem...
Ideas?

If you are using a 64kb SIM it tends to happen. Probably its aged and if you did cut it you might have as well damaged the SIM's core.
I'd suggest to get a replacement SIM from your carrier, preferably a Micro SIM and see if that helps.

Have you tried a factory reset?
The phone number as reported by the device is stored on the Sim card and cannot be deleted or replaced on Android phones.
(Afaik some other phones allow it)
Most SIM cards only show "Unknown" since the provider doesn't even set the number.
You can either have it reprogrammed by someone with a corresponding SIMcard reader or phone, or have it replaced by your network provider.
yup

Sounds a bit virus like, or to be more accurate, it may be that you have been conned into signing up for some expensive text service. You might want to check with your provider that you aren't being charged a fortune for the texts. If you take prompt action you should be able to get the provider to refund any charges.
I have found something similar - SMS to 00-919560345888
I was looking over my phone bill and I noticed a SMS sent to 00-919560345888 on the 9th of November - the number seems to be in India (provider probably Airtel, somewhere in the Delhi area).
Doing a quick search here was showing this thread most recently.
During that day the only software that I remember installing on that specific S3 was Criskelo v19 (and there is a post of mine from that day to confirm that) - did anybody else see something like this?
EDIT:
IMHO the original poster should change the title to include the words SMS and 00-919560345888 to make this thread more obvious for other people that have seen similar problems!
i think when you install the india rom it sends registration sms to samsung india or network provider..as here when we purchase samsung phone we get free data for first few months..so each time fresh installation of rom it sends sms..
I doubt that ...

I really doubt that - I consider this story a major problem and I think we should further investigate the owners of that number and how that stuff got injected into the ROM - it most certainly does not look like a company number but instead 100% like a number a hacker would use to signal back the existence of a backdoor - which most likely he could perfectly use at any time with a SMS back to your phone where he most likely has root access!
I'm sure if you ask politely someone will track the number down and nuke the bastterd

While I appreciate your generic advice you are probably not understanding what was happening - the trojan is inside a custom (auto-root) ROM, and as such could in theory do anything while the ROM was first booted - the program could not only send SMS in an "invisible" way, it could also leave a pretty much invisible hook/backdoor, and if the program wanted it could also uninstall "LBE security master" or whatever other similar program - and for the record AVAST was already installed - but as expected the program could see nothing unusual since the problem was inside the root-mode ROM!
This was a problem with the earlier jelly bean rom for india LJ5. Due to technical issues this update was withdrawn by Samsung India and later LK1 was released.

Actually, the Indian owner's thread posters are in as much as a quandary as here.
Nice try passing the buck.
I have already read the other solutions for recovering my Galaxy S2. Unfortunately, I don't have a backup of my EFS folder.
I am wondering if there's a IMEI writer program that would allow me to manually create a new IMEI data file, using my phone IMEI/serial # under the battery, or whatever the phone reads for the IMEI/Serial # to restore my phone IMEI/serial.
Currently, the phone keep on asking me to set up software update even though I have already set it up five times already and the software update seems to have problem updating saying: "Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try software update via Settings>Software update> Update, or try using PC Kies later. I think it is probably due to the default IMEI:004999010640000/Serial:00000000000 assigned that the update server don't recognize or ignore.

Hi Guys! I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G INDIA model. After more than one year of use suddenly it started working weird.
1. Full 100% charging getting discharged to 0% in 2-3 hrs(99% phone is put on standby mode - not using for anything)
2. When I enable WiFi it is not able to scan. I repeatedly clicked on scan but it is not showing any progress of scanning and not listing my home WiFi network
I have tried:
1. Battery recalibration - no use
2. Factory reset - no use
3. Hard reset - no use
Can somebody help me with this? Is there a way to check that WiFi chip failed or not Or it's an issue with firmware(4.1.2)?

I went to service center to know about the issue. He was just re-installed stock ROM by rooting the device even not hearing to my problem. When I say WIFI scanning is not working he turned on WiFi and was saying it's working. But I told him to let the phone scan for any WiFi hotspots close by(My friend phone SIII able to list all available hotspots). He then pressed scan and was saying motherboard was gone. Is that true? How can he say blindly even not checking until I tell him to check the WiFi.
If I need to change the motherboard how much does it costs in INDIA? and does it carries any warranty?

firstly, you should be rooted to change the baseband.
If you are rooted that find any compatible baseband of your rom version and flash the zip file through recovery.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, it is costly affair. Before coming to the conclusion of motherboard being damaged, lets first try all possible options. I don't see the motherboard issue here.
PM me your rom details and i will find a baseband for you.

My advise wud be to see some local repair shop as it might be a loose connection and would not need the replacement. No harm in getting it checked as he will not ask more than 200-300 rs. If still u find it did not work go for motherboard replacement from samsung.
Btw how much did they asked you for motherboard
