SMS causes signal drop - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Each time I try and send an outgoing sms the signal on the phone drops completely. It then tries and gets signal on a constant bases but gets full signal and drops again immediately. The only way to get it working again is to delete the outgoing sms that's trying to go out...
Incoming smss works fine and we'll as incoming and outgoing calls.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I've tried 3 different 4.0.4 Roms and a few different modems but no luck.
Seriously don't know what to do anymore!

[Q] [help] Atrix not recieving incoming calls

Hey all,
I'm having this issue randomly ever since I took a trip to Chicago this past weekend. My Atrix (only rooted) stopped receiving incoming calls from certain numbers. I've tried with a friend's AT&T iPhone and it works fine. But from my Verizon work cell I cannot call my Atrix.
When an incoming call comes in, the phone rings for half a second and then goes back to my home screen. No missed call log or anything. Immediately when the call comes in the phone's signal drops out and a few seconds later reconnects.
Everything else works just fine, SMS and data still smooth.
Anyone else have this issue? It's strange and pretty annoying.
Upon further investigation I have found that I can make and receive calls to those Verizon numbers if they are deleted from my contacts!
So Verizon + Contact = FAIL

[Q] My TBolt doesn't receive/send phonecalls.

It'll receive/send texts perfectly fine (well, it'll give me an error but it still sends it).
It happens so often, it starts to get frustrating.
Does this happen to anyone, if it does, any help?
(If it helps, I'm running BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3).
I can't use the phone function most of the time. When this happens, I usually have to do a battery pull, or a soft reset. Usually when I do a data wipe, it fixes the problem.
But how can I stop this problem from happening and make my phone reliable again?
You never explained exactly what it is that's happening that is making your phone unusable. How does it not send/receive calls?
sorry for the clarity.
but basically when I receive calls, they go straight to voicemail.
when dialing an outgoing call, it won't ring and the phone will say "call was lost", even when I have full service.

I just wiped everything clean. Data works fine and I'm able to send texts (but I receive a warning) and receive them too. Phone calls don't work. Do you think its a problem with the phone itself?

[Q] No incoming calls

I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.
As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.
Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).
I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.
So I figured it must be the phone.
Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.
Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.
If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.

Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?

Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days
There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

In my case, the phone does not ring when I get a call at all. I have searched hi and low and I cant find a solution. I have rebooted, i have reflashed, I have changed my ringtone and nothing seems to work, please help!!
Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.
I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.
Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...
Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)
Later EDIT ---
She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.
Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.
Regards.
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls
^ Went over my head !
had the same problem in a bad 3g/data coverage area. solution was simply to turn data off and the calls started to come through.
turned data back on and now working ok.

Unable to receive calls

Strange issue, I could send/receive text messages, and I could also make calls, but when trying to call my phone from another phone or if anyone else called me it would just ring like normal and go to voicemail, but my phone wouldn't ring or indicate that I had a call / missed call. This was fixed after a reboot but has anyone else had this issue?

I have the same issue I tried a reboot but the problem keeps coming back did that fix it permanently for you? Sometimes calls come in other times it just shows up as a voicemail.

My mom's G3 exhibited this issue over the weekend, waiting to see if it comes back.

I haven't had the issue since, but then again I wouldn't know unless someone texts me that they've been trying to call (I don't monitor my voicemail that closely...probably should though).
I've seen the exact same issue as well. I won't even get the call but the voice mail will show up if the caller left a message. Hopefully this is just a bad connection to the cell towers at the time the call was trying to get through and not some other issue.

Hi coming from the M8 forums and checking things out, and I had this issue and it was due to the tower being worked on in my area. I didn't have service for an entire month at my office or apt, which are less than a mile apart. Now I have poor data service but i can receive calls. You might want to contact Sprint and let them know ASAP
I cant receive calls but i can do outgoing and sms to others weird using international unlock lg g3 sprint
Same here...maybe 2 out 10 test calls I tried went through. I called sprint and they instructed me to re-provision the device using some ##7..something..something## dialer codes. My phone magically receives calls, but I have a feeling their re-provision crap didn't do anything to fix, it was just the re-boot part that "temporarily" fixed the incoming call problem.

Calls Going Straight to Voicemail?

Has anyone run into this issue of calls (sometimes, not every call) going straight to voicemail?
I have had Do Not Disturb mode turned off, the phone was on vibrate alert.
Network connection showed all bars, so full (or at least, good) connectivity.
I've noticed this for about a couple of weeks now. Before as well as after rooting.
My first thoughts are around some software issue with the latest firmware/ROM.
Any suggestions on how to debug/fix this issue? SMS Texts seem to get through just fine, always. Pictures sent via messaging sometimes do not get through.
