Phone not recieving text messages - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, at least a couple of times a day my phone will not receive text messages that friends have sent me, or they will come through an hour late, could this be a problem with flashing custom ROMs? Or will it be my network. does anyone know a fix for this if custom roms are the problem? Any help is much appreciated. Thankyou

well the first thing i would do in this situation is to check the network issue by putting the same on a diff phone may be a non -android one and see.
if issue persists then its network / sim card for sure the culprit.
if not the case, then i would post this issue on the custom rom ( the one being used on phone) thread so that may be some one have a solution for it there.

It happens on every custom ROM I flash, I change my ROM around once a week. But before I started flashing ROMs I never had this problem. Does the modem affect any of this? Thanks.

if you're on a GB firmware, flash a GB modem, if you're on an ICS fw, flash an ICS modem

Modems are cross compatible. GB modems work on ICS, and ICS modems work on GB.
Just modems though. Don't try with kernels or anything else.

I've had this problem before and it was my modem, not the ROM.
Flash a different modem, and it'll fix it.

thanks guys what modem did u try that fixed it? ive tried XXKI4 and XXKH3 and still have the same problem

Go to your Applications, and click on "Messaging" (or something like that), clear the data. Then flash any modem, wiping cache and dalvik cache before you reboot.

Lost connection.

Hey there!
First of i want to tell you that i don't know if this is the right section to post this in otherwise tell me please.
Okay so i am having a big problem with my connection, it drops at random and never reconnects till i reboot my device. I am having this problem since i changed my kernel and my rom to sensation rom. I had another kernel and lite 'ning rom before. Now im wondering what could be causing the connection loss. The kernel or the rom or could it be both?
I hope someone can help me with this cause it is rather annoying not recieving important calls.
Peace

What model is you phone (international, T, G etc)? I have an I9100t which has a different modem to the international version. When I flash a new rom I reflash a T version modem.

Polish I9100 with LPS loosing network

I have the polish unbrended I9100 with the official LPS update, but I am loosing network all the time and lots of calls go straight to my voice mail. I did try to go back to LPQ, but could not find an officiel one. When I loaded one with the LPR modem I had CSC unknowen and again loosing network all the time. I try to change with the band selection but no luck. I am on Rogers in Canada. Any help will be appreciated.

I've got a similar problem with LPS and LP4. The funny thing is that antenna idicator shows full signal strenght.
Full wipe did not helped.
So you know where I can get an official LPQ? It was OK with it.

I loaded this modem wiht Odin, but in Kies I get: Curent Firmware version: I9100XXLPS/I9100XALPS/I91XXLPQ/I9100XXLPS (XEO)
It looks like I have two modems now. Is this the case? I will see tomorrow if the receptions is OK and if I will be loosing the network.

if you have the .tar.md5 file, just open it with any zip program like winzip/7zip, then extract the modem.bin.
Sill the sema problem. Now I will try to change the whole rom to LPQ. I really hope it will help.
Now I am on a full LPQ and I still have the network problem. I lose conection to the network and in 10-15 secpnda I get all bars. The problem started when I got the official LPS from the forum. Is it possible the Odin flash to have done fisical domage to the phone? I got it from Expansys USA, but I doubt it they will do something. Any help will be appreciated

I tried only GSM bands and there is no problem, but the moment I add any of the WCDMA bands I start losing the network.
Maybe try full wipe before and after update (usb masstorage, dalvik cache and system) and flash LPQ again.
Or go back to 2.3.x

I did a full wipe, but now I do not have CMW, because I thought it had to do something with the rooting. Is there a way to test if the radio is fiscally damaged? thank you very much for the respnse!!!

I don't know if its possible to check it.
But can't you just flash some GB ROM using Odin? If its still doesn't work correctly with GB ROM than it must be something wrong with the phone.

I rooted the phone, did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, after install a new rom wiht Odin, factory reset and still the same. I bought it with Expansys USA, and they told me it will take 6-8 weeks to have it sent for warranty repair. I guess I will try with a GB rom and see. Thank you.

So far no luck. The last thing I put was the Luxembourg file, but it has the same modem LPS. I was trying to have a different CSC and see if this will help, but it did not.
Now I am giving a last try with UK O2 file, and if no difference I am sending it back to Expansys US for repair. I hope they do not come back and tell me that there is no problem with the phone.
dont want tobe rude but it seems you are not listening to what ppl saying......
before you snd your phone atleast check with Gb ROM.
if i were you i would full wipe the phone including system partition and flashed stock GB ROM using odin. and tested it without doing any thing more.
you want to fix your phone you better start forgeting your stuff and try what has been said here.

I am familiar with flashing. I had the LG Optimus LTE before this and flashed quite a few roms, This phone however has me awfully confused. I have been researching all day. And so far i am under the understanding that the touch cwm are not good and the use the 4.0.1.5 recovery. But what i don't understand is how do you install roms without wiping data/factory reset through cwm? don't most roms require this? and isn't that what causes the superbrick? Sorry for sounding like a noob. but can you tell me how you do your flashing?

Just use a different kernel, like siyah (www.gokhanmoral.com and make it's for the s2 not s3). Then you can wipe data. Just didn't not be on 4.0.4, and have a samsung based kernel (the kernel dev should have info in the op). Once you're on a safe kernel you can flash whatever you want and wipe data.

Yes I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. Couldn't get into recovery so i just re-flashed my firmware via odin. All is good now and successfully flashed cm9 with no issues. Must have been a bug in the rom.
