I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

Yes I have the same problem. Don't know the solution though. I got 5 of one sms and 3 of another today. Very annoying.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Is this happening from all contacts, or just a select few? If a select few, check to see if the messages coming from are from one carrier. I've had this happen to me a few times on another phone. The issue was from the other carrier, not much you can do anything about except report the issue to customer service. If you are on limited texting plan at least, otherwise ignore it.
It's from multiple carriers for me.

Sorry bud, I can't parse your message here.
Yup same problem.. duplicate messages even with the stock app..
Call Verizon just for the purpose of them getting the message.
It's annoying when you get 6 messages.. I wonder if it's counting as multiple txt on the bill..

i would like to hope its doubtful that its costing extra as its mostly a problem of the phone pulling the messages multiple times, basically not ticking the "received" box on the server side of things. afterall, it is easier to count them as they pass through the network versus your phone counting and reporting back, not very efficient... mines kicked up again recently.. and yes rather annoying...
I noticed this too but it only happened after I used ATK more aggressively. I rebooted my phone and the messages stopped coming in repeatedly. Seems to have gone away now that I'm rooted. Hope that helps someone out there.

Multi services?
Ok i intermitently have this same problem but noticed something interesting that may be related? I downloaded a startup manager program to see what was starting up on reboot yesterday and noticed there are 3 text message services running? Im assuming this may be the cause of multiple messages recieved so I have disabled 2 of the 3 instances and was still able to recieve sms but not sure if this will fix the issue or not
If you look that is the text msg app listening to different events, not 3 copies of it loading.
I have a vibrant that got wet now I have 1 odd issue. When is sim card is in it acts as if you can get no signal (cellular), but pull the sim out and it maintains a steady signal. I wife and I have twin vibrants her sim card works in my mind is not working hers (hers got wet and is one with the issue) . Now that said everything else in the phone works fine even wifi. I've even have been able to root add in a custom rom. now my question is, is there anything I can do to bring this vibrant back to life or am I stuck with a vibrant ipod touch?

Switch the SIM cards around to see if it is SIM card related. It might have just messed up your SIM card and not the phone itself.
Did that. The sim from the one that got wet works in other vibrant and other phones, but neather sim works in the one that got wet.

Did you try Factory Resetting and wiping data? You can also try ODINing back to stock but I think you've already done that. I think if you delete all your data, it might work fine. Make sure you back it up though.
So it sounds like your sim slot is toast.

I don't think I did a factory reset. Just rooted and installed project V. And am pretty sure I did not Odin to 2.1
So that maybe my next option.

*cough* The post about bleaching the indicators wasn't saying you should commit warranty fraud, but... I'll leave the rest open to interpretation
Lets just say the ethical thing to do is buy a new vibrant at full unsubsidized price.
And on the flip side imagine if your phone just suddenly stopped working one day without getting wet. In that situation you walk into t-mobile and say wtf man.
If both of those are too extreme, replace it with a used phone?
No "full reset" can fix physically fried hardware.

Seriously, I'm nearly at the end of my tether with this phone. It always shows no signal on the status bar, however the network name shows up. Everytime I try to make a call, it always says 'moblie network not available'. SO far I've tried..
Using a different simcard - No difference
Changing the baseband - tried 6 different ones, no avail
Writing new firmware with odin - three differnt ones, no show
Firmwares with CWM - nothing happens at all
I really have no idea what to do anymore. I'm almost close to running over this pile of excrement with my car.
I went through this with CM7 for a while, it would work for a week or two then then for no reason lose the signal. I ended up going back to stock ROM's. Did you lose your imei?

Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.
