Hi all, I'm an Australian user of an unlocked/unbranded i9100. I use the stock ROM, and received the 4.0.4 update a few days ago.
Since the update, whenever I type *#2263# into the dialer, and try to run the code by pressing the call button (previously, it would run as soon as I hit the last #, I didn't need to press call), the phone appears as if it's about to start running the code, but I get the following message instead:
'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.
Now, presumably this has something to do with changes they made in regards to the 'security flaw' that was uncovered last week, though interestingly, *#0011# still works fine (doesn't help me though, that just gives me info, it doesn't let me change what band I'm on).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get control of my phone back? (Preferably without rooting/using a custom ROM)?
Thanks.
Same for me and more

I can manually get to where I need to by going through *#0011#, and navigating back through the menu, but the proper shortcut would be nice...
I guess the current method will work in the meantime.

Hey all,
Just wondering whether its me or not, but ever since the update if I type a text longer than '1 message(+9) '(weird but cool feature if I must say) my phone will Not send the message no matter what..and as long as I have it under that character limit it works fine...
I'm in australia and with Optus, and I work for them as well so I know it isn't my sim or my account :/
Anybody else had this issue? Because I know currently the samsung galaxy S(2.1) is having compatability issues with texting, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be the same cause...
- Shalz
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I just did a test text and it worked fine.. 2 messages sent no problems.. (UK Vodafone).. World Generic 2.1 firmware.
just wondering did you update to the optus 2.1 or the generic?
I have a feeling i must be on the generic firmware because i did have 1.6 Rooted prev. to the update
I asked the guys at work about the update today and none of them so far have been able to update...even though i downloaded the Australasian PC Companion.
but even picture messages and everything else works perfectly fine...its just that one thing =/
I have the exact same issue, it happened to me also on 1.6 bu that was more generous and gave me 2 message lengths before it would fail to send. its strange as the first couple of messages i sent on the nordic 2.1 update where fine and they were well over 2 message lengths and then suddenly if i try to send one over 1 message length it fails!!! weird
would love to find the reason to this
Someone found any solution FOR THIS??? Help
It's saying "Could not send" for me, but is actually sending the first 160 characters of the message
Edited to add: I'm on UK Vodafone with the Global Generic 2.1 firmware.
Further edit: I'm able to send long sms to myself, just not my intended recipient...? She's on O2, could this be why?
Even more edit: Just tried sending to someone else and they didn't receive anything?! Very inconsistent!
sms Issue
Hi,
I have the same issue with my sms, it will not send more than 1 message otherwise the text bounce back saying message not sent, I just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic. The problem did exist when i was on the 1.6 but then the message will not send only if it was more than 2 messages, I am on vodafone uk, my phone was not debranded whilst running 1.6.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I still haven't found a solution to this, interesting that you're also on UK Vodafone though, maybe it's something to do with them rather than the firmware?
has anyone found solution to this I have Rogers X10a and Telus sim card in it. Can't send sms if its longer than 160 charecters . Please help
I'm having the same problem as well. Any message over 160 characters and it won't send. This has actually resulted in my not being able to send shorter messages after trying to send a message that is over 160 characters. Not sure what is going on here or if there is a setting that can be changed for this.
I'm in the U.S. on AT&T. Used the xda flash to global and rogers and neither would send an sms message over 160 I guess? (it's 2 sms) Did a global firmware to 1.6 and then updated to x10a 2.1 via sony and then tried and it still would not send. It will send through GSM however using the edge network. It must have something to do with the h network then and no I don't get 3g to pop up at the top of the screen ever..
I'm not too sure what the problem is here but it is the only one I am having on my phone, everything else is working great!...
If anyone can help us all out with any ideas or suggestions it would be great but as of now it sounds like it's a problem with the new software from sony. Gonna try messing with the sms apn a bit and see if I come up with anything but as of now 2.1 sms is considered broken in my opinion.:/
im having the same problem. im using chompsms and at the botton, instead of saying 160 char it says 70 and wont send more than two texts long. If the network is changed to GSM only, any size text will send but then internet is slow unless its changed back. AT&T settings were found automatically but they are all correct.
my SE Xperia X10 on 2.1 wont send messages at all. no matter the size. ive tried to send messages like "Hey" or "No" and they dont send. Im with in Canada, with Rogers. And its not my signal because i have 4 bars...
-Thanks

Thanks Jeff! As I am having this issue too, awaiting for any news about it...
Hi Everyone,
I've heard back from our team today. This is not a generic problem. I will need information from your phones to pass on so I can duplicate the problem. Please PM me the following details:
Country:
Service Provider/Operator:
IMEI:
SI#: (SI is the ####-####.# on the back of the phone)
Did this happen in 1.6?:
Did it ever work on 2.1?:
I need at least 5 examples to pass to the team to move this forward. I will update you when I've collected these.
Hi all,
Ok, found a solution - try this and let us know how it goes, its worked for me!
1. Open dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone Information from menu
3. Scroll down to SMSC
4. Enter SMS centre number given by your service provider in this box
5. Select Update
I got a "update error" message but it still seemed to save the number, but with " and a 3 digit code after it.
If the above doesn't work, as a short term solution you caould switch to just "GSM" in your network settings and this also works - not ideal, but it's a workaround!

Didn't work for me, UK Vodafone.

Just upgraded the ATT 1.6 to 2.1 update 1, update is great everything works perfect.
I am just trying to figure out a way to display the phone number along side of the contacts number(or under). I believe it was like that with 1.6??
Or even a way to search people in the phone by dialing first few digits of the number. Seems to only show the contact if I completely enter their number.
Any help appreciated!!!!

Hello guys, i have a problem with my Atrix's dialer. When i try to, for example, get information about my account current, i have to dial *111*1#, but when i press "OK", it's dialing instead of automatically display my desired operation. It works with IMEI code ( *#06#), with phone status ( *#*#4636#*#*), today i called in my service providing company, but they say that it's my phone's problem.
Any solutions?

Hello to all, :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for my English.
First of all I would like to thank the developers for their hard work.
I have only one problem.
I have a GSM EVO 3D S-Off HBOOT 1.49.007, Root and the new [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 - 22-March-2013.
Everything works fine, also the videocamera (disabling HW Overlay) without 3D.
But I have a problem with sending SMS.
Text messages are not sent ever.
I think I understand the problem, but i ask for help even if it was addressed.
I have an Italian SIM, mobile operator "POSTEMOBILE."
"POSTEMOBILE" uses the Vodafone mobile network to serve its customers.
When the ROM CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 locks the mobile operator does not locks Postemobile but Vodafone.
In this way, when I try to send a text message, the phone number of the SMS center is not recognized by Vodafone and returns an error message to be sent.
It 'possible that the problem is this?
And 'possible to fix it?
Grazie a tutti.

SOLVED....
I found the solution by searching the various sites.
In particular, I had help from the site Androidiani.it.
The solution is simple.
When you install a ROM ICS or JB the SMS center number is lost.
In order to reset the number you must type a code on the keypad of the phone.
A hidden menu appears.
The code is *#*#4636#*#* (i think that works for all of android)
Now look for the string SMSC and enter the number of the SMS center of your mobile operator.
Apply this setting with the second button... and well done....
Now you can send SMS with ICS or JB...
Thanks to all...:fingers-crossed:

Try to do a reboot without SIM and again with the SIM.
Then redo the procedure with the code.
Worked for me the first time.
With Sprint I do not know if it works, try looking CDMA forum.

I called Sprint customer service, and they helped me to fix sms reception issue, by resetting something on their side. It looks like I am getting texts now.

I explained them I can send SMS, but I can't receive them. Btw, I integrated my Sprint # with Google Voice. Now I keep all my sms and voicemail in my google account. I even turned option to send me an email when sms arrives - you can do it with Google voice.
So, first step the Sprint customer service recommended was to clear all cache and data from all my applications which I use or ever used for sms/texting. I did it before though, and I told them it didn't help. Then, they recommended to delete all message treads, basically all your sms. I did. I didn't worry much about loosing them, because I backed up in "SMS Backup & Restore" app already. Then they asked me to take battery out, and while it was out, they reset (or sent) something on their side for my phone. When procedure was done on their server, they asked me to start my phone again. I did. They sent me test sms, and it worked!!! Now sms work well, and I even receive gmails upon their arrivals.
Not everything is so shiny though, I have a different problem: data drop, but this is a different story, and not resolved for me yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221579.

[Q] "no sim" error on my other carrier, currently overseas can't make calls.
Hello everyone,
Long time reader first time poster because I have searched for the past 2 days to solve my problem but it is kind of an emergency at this point.
I am currently overseas, last year I was here I was running stock GB and unlocked the simlock by contacting AT&T and getting a code. This year I am upgraded to stock JB but I get a no sim error with my overseas carrier and the phone doesn't ask for code at all. I tried putting in the ATT sim again and that works but can't use it here because its too expensive. I have tried other people's sim cards (total of 3) all of them get no sim error. This tells me the sim lock is still on there but I can't do much since it doesn't ask me for code.
I have also flashed siyah kernel and paranoid rom since coming overseas still no luck. This was mainly because stock JB was horrible.
I tried galaxy s unlock app but won't see my internet connection, I am not sure if it would be able to solve my problem anyway. I can't try the paid version of sim unlock because I can't get it charged to my ATT bill. I heard there is a free version but couldn't find it after searching for hours, seems as the developer wants this to be paid anyway.
I tried choosing multiple carriers under network settings but no luck.
I am sorry if I missed something obvious. Seems like Kies\ATT messed up something while upgrading me to JB
I have contacted ATT to ask if their JB upgrade locking sim is a known problem but all I got was a "are you sure you did it right". I have an unlock code from ATT though, just can't use it because the phone doesn't ask for the code, just says "no sim, emergency calls only"
I have flashed different modems just to see if that would help, nope
I have searched and read every similar thread, I would search more but I really need to solve this quick. Sorry if I missed any details first time posting.
Thanks in advance.
Don't know if this will help since I haven't tried it, but I found this. Maybe this will allow you to enter the unlock code?:
If your Samsung is not asking for an unlock code and it only reads “Network Locked. Emergency calls only” or “Insert correct SIM card” you can use one of these two formulas:
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
hmm both of them gave me mobile network available error, weird I would guess it wouldn't check for that.
,just to make sure , I just enter these on the keypad and press call right ?
With that type of code, you don't have to press call. If it is supposed to call up a menu or dialog, it will do so when the last digit is entered. If the phone does nothing when the last digit of the code is entered, then it is probably a code that is not recognized by the phone. So I guess those codes don't work for the SGH-I777. I don't know if this is dependent on firmware. I do know that unlock doesn't work the same on Jelly Bean. I've read the unlock methods don't work. See here. I guess you could flash ICS stock plus root and then use one of these.
or... can you call or chat with an AT&T tech support to ask how to apply the code in your situation?
I found a list of a lot of codes, tried some of the ones related to network lock, one of them asked for password, i entered it and it said unlock successful yet still not working. I just rooted to stock gingerbread still no sim error yet ATT worked and sent me a text for international rates.
I just don't know what happened whist upgrading to JB.
I have a similar problem where my unlock code that used to work no longer works. Just out of curiosity, does the Serial # shown by GalaxSimUnlock app match the one listed physically under your battery? I'm not aware of how to check for the serial number other than that app. On mine, I noticed it got zero'ed out, and if my hunch is correct, I think the unlock code recognized by the phone is based on that serial number (among other things), so the one supplied by AT&T won't work anymore. I'll have to get a new number based on that zeroed out serial number or change my serial number somehow.
Sorry I flashed another rom already but I will try to reinstall everything and check later today. Idk if the app works with gingerbread, it should.
Yes, it works with Gingerbread as I was able to use it. I was hoping that if I restored to Gingerbread, my serial number would come back. But no dice. I'm really curious to see what your serial number is.
just tried to check but the app keeps crashing on mine. I tried with anothe unlock app i got undefined under serial.
