[Solved] tmobile data log in and texts...

so.. i have the updated rom provided by tmobile.. and it was fine for awhile.. i have no other mods except android on the sd which i rarely use.. but today i noticed i had 6 new texts.. went to look at them and couldnt find them under the contacts it says.. i called them to see if it was just showing fake texts but they were actually sent.. i cant see them nor can i send messages to certain ppl... any clue whats happening? it also kept asking me about a data logon to server thing but i followed another thread and fixed that problem
EDIT:actually i fixed the problem.. some texts somehow got set to december as when they were sent which hasnt happened yet and it was keeping me from receiving any new messages.. pretty weird .. but yep.. done
Interesting, I also had this on my Indie rom and as I deleted texts/emails the number has dropped to 1, it was driving me mad , but if I have the same issue it will go soon

If no one has any other answers you can always repair it through PC Companion.
i understand what you are going thru. I am not sure if its the same , but i had this issue with mini pro and had tried all the things in the world to see if that gets solved. My issue only cropped up with INCOMING CALLs and that too randomly. i tried reset , repair multiple times but not solved. Then finally when SE updated to the last build (which is unfortunately not rootable so far) my problem got solved.
i am sure its a bug , but mostly you can try and rename or delete your contacts (like some people reportedly had issues due to contacts photo , or something in the contact name - maybe special characters etc). If you have not yet tried the factory reset , please try that at the first place.

[Q] Problems with texting after ICS

I just recently bought the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate and I updated to ICS this morning.
The update worked fine with the exception of my text messaging.
Every text I try to send fails. If I go into the details of the text message it says
Error Code:-1
I have already done a factory reset. That didn't help.
What's going on?
Also I can't take screenshots anymore. Any ideas anyone?
Ok, got them figured out.

[Q] Galaxy S3 wont receive text messages

hey guys, I searched the forum and so far no one has been able to give a clear answer. So here I am. I got my S3 about 10 days ago. And what I've noticed is that sometimes my message tone will play for no reason. Like the message tone will play, when I check my phone, nothing. Absolutely Nothing. Then my friend tells me that he messaged me. I'm like no you didn't. I've noticed that I don't get a lot of texts actually. I also noticed that while I was in a call, I received the message. Any ideas?
When I first read your title I immediately thought that it may be due to your 'Message Center' information (within the SMS settings) not being populated. However, reading your "symptoms" that's probably not the case. It might be worth checking either way though.
Are you using a stock rom?
Was this issue ever solved?
I have the same issue (Omega 34 rom)
The phone will vibrate and LED will flash, but no message is received. It only happens occasionally.
Any thoughts?

[Q] SMS problem

As said in the title, i've been experiencing some problems with SMS.
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 gt-p7500, and i've always been able to send sms with it. However, last week it started giving me an error whenever i tried to send a message. It just shows "Error. Message not sent"
Moreover, i can't even receive messages anymore, even if my phone says that the message has been delivered.
P.S.
The tablet is rooted and i'm using the stock ics rom, however it started doing this before i rooted it.
are you sure that the problem is with the tablet?

The sim card actually works with other devices.
the data connection is also working, so the problem is only with messages.
if the problem started befor rooting and you are on stock than

If the problem started before rooting and you are on stock than it is unlikely that there is somthing wrong with the rom.
did you check your apn settings?

yes, it says "failed to connect, try back later"
This happens only with the tablet, if I insert the sim in the phone everything works flawlessly.
EDIT:
Checked back again, the apn settings seem to be fine.
