I cant remember what rom i started on when i first noticed it. but i dont receive any multimedia message, I can get text's all day long, but when someone send me a picture, and they say its sent from there side. i never get it.
funny part is if i send myself a mms, i get that. just none from nobody else. Ive tried flashing different radios, updating my profile. nothing seems to work. ive did clean installs + flashed superwipe for a fresh install.
i currently have
ROM: Fresh LTE 5.2.1 by flipz
BANDBASE: 1.05.11.0606
PRL: 25006
PRI: 2.45_003
KERNEL: 3.0.8-01368-g6fdcee1

Most likely Sprint problem. I had issues too and was beginning to think it was the Rom I'm running (Cm10) low and behold, mms finally downloaded

This happens to me from time to time. I believe it too is a Network/Sprint problem. What I do to remedy the problem is use Google Voice to check for SMS, however you can't receive MMS through GV though.

is this a call in issue or a take your phone in deal?
the MMS not loading thread is different from my issue. He at least receives his MMS, they just don't download. Mines doesn't come through, at all.
So i took my phone into the sprint store, and there response was that the phone checks out ok on there diagnostics. And that they didn't know what was wrong with it. And after a stupid amount of time wasted on the phone with tech support and super geeks and bs. They still didn't know what was going on with the phone. At this point, I'm ready to take my phone back to sprint and demand a new replacement one. The update to 2.13v didn't fixed jack. How disappointing was that. I flashed and updated firmware and radios, profile and still nothing.
Finally, earlier today i updated my hboot with (PJ75IMG_Jewel_Boot.img_2.13.651.1_signed.zip) and boom, i got my mms back. I cant 100% say that's what made it work, since im not sure what made it stop in the first place. but its good to go now.
I have searched this over and cannot find a solution to the issue. I have had my GS3 for a number of months now. Just recently, I could no longer receive SMS messages. MMS works ok. I called ATT, they blamed the phone since it wasnt one of theirs. I just hung up with them, as they're no help anyway. I went to the ATT store and one of the guys there took my SIM card out and put it in another phone. All of my messages immediately downloaded to the other phone. We took the SIM out and put it back in my GS3, and everything worked normal again. One week later, it's doing the exact same thing. I don't have another phone to put my SIM into, and I sure don't want to keep going back to the ATT store each week to dump my SMS messages. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it.
Does ANYONE have any suggestions as to why this is suddenly happening?
I am stock everything.

Yeah, no problems making phone calls. I will say that the other thing that happens quite often is that my phone will make no noise on incoming calls or SMS messages. Someone can send me a message or call, and I'll be sitting right there with the device in hand, and it won't make a noise to let me know.
I am still awaiting my Jelly Bean update. Hopefully that will clear up most of it. It seems these problems began when it updated to 4.0.4.
But the SMS problem SUCKS.
On another note, if the Jelly Bean update doesn't fix these issues, I will be trading my I9300 for a Nokia 920 quicker than you can shake a stick.
im baffled by this problem too things I would of recommended 1st have already been checked. Have you tried a complete/fresh install?.
Seems your service centre number is correct too, have u tried changing it/deleting it, save then reenter the number again?
also found this page for ATT service centre numbers maybe theres more than 1 for your area?

Can not receive SMS. (Permanent SMSC FIX)
Ok sorry for lasting so long.
Look at this and try. Maybe this is your problem. Had solved my problem. After flashing a new Rom.
If you have problems as described in first post and your smsc number is showing the right thing so also do this steps.
1. Find out the right SMSC (Short Messenger Service Central) number of your provider (for example O2 Germany is: +491760000443)
2.0 Then you have to translate/calculate it
at this site:
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
2.1 Type at SMSC your sms-provider-number (Example: +49xxxxx)
2.2 Delete Receiver and the small text under it
2.3 Click on Convert
3. A number appears at the right side, write it on a paper or copy it
4. Open Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
5. Click phone data and scroll down to SMSC
6. Then paste or write the number from 3.
7. Click actualize, update or something similar
8. Wait till your network is online again and then click refresh (about 5 seconds)
9. If your entered number still appears everything is working fine.
Sample for O2 Germany
(+49 is Germany replace it with the one from your country)
[SMSC] number is: +491760000443
[Calculated] number is: 0791947106004034110000910000AA00
[Showed] number after update is: 0791947106004034
(You have to cut "AT+CMGW=8")
Hope I could help some one with this.

After Googling the problem, I am not the only one having this issue. It is happening all over. But I cannot seem to find an answer to it. I have contacted Samsung who was absolutely NO help, and ATT, who have created a ticket to try and help solve the issue. They even acknowledge it seems to be a much larger issue than just my device.
In the meantime, I will keep my eyes peeled here if anyone has any insight. I shouldn't have to flash anything as the device is entirely stock.
However, I think I have narrowed it down to the latest 4.0.4 update. It didn't do it before I got the update.
I will keep checking in here regularly.
My s3 suddenly stopped receiving SMS after flashing 4.1.2 Supernexus also tried Dark paranoid android and same issue. Prior to that 4.1.1 B1ackB3an all was great. On Vodafone UK and the SMSSC was correct, sending SMS was fine and if I'd SMS myself it came through straight away. Occasionally SMS were received early morning but nothing all day until sometimes they came through when I walked back into the house after work and it connected to the wifi. I cleared cache and fixed permissions and even when rolling back to 4.1.1 it still persisted. Unrooted and returned to stock lastest Samsung/Vodafone firmware last night and seems ok, will see how it goes over the weekend.
Happened to me before I rooted and if you search is a common problem unrelated to rooting. Mine just started up again after a couple of days (voda uk, 4.0.4)

I am hoping when I get the JB update, it will take care of itself.

Seems so from looking on Vodafone forum. I'd just assumed that it was due my switching ROM's as everything had been fine since I first rooted in August. Just coincidence that it started at the same time I switched. Did wonder if it was an S3 and a carrier thing as my wife's iPhone 4s also on Vodafone as been fine throughout.

Hope it does for you, as it is so frustrating.
Yes. One thing I've noticed from Googling is that it is not carrier dependent. Interesting that rooted devices with different ROMs are experiencing the same issue. As previously stated, my device is 100% stock, not rooted.
Damn, it's doing it again. It didn't last but about 4 days this time. It worked this morning, but not tonight.
As the title suggests, suddenly I started getting force closes with com.android.phone when I'd receive a call. I immediately tried to call out, same story. I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours, and had no luck finding anything relevant on XDA or any other site.
Firstly I switched kernels, since I'd updated to DSB's latest, though I'd had no issues with it until then. That failed, so I reverted to Viper's stock build.prop, undoing some changed I'd been running for a while (and hadn't modified at all today).
With no luck there, I backed up my sdcard and did a full factory reset and formatted the sdcard in twrp and then in cwm, followed by a reinstall of the latest Viper ROM. Even that didn't work, so I relocked and RUU'd back. Twice. Same exact issue. I can text anyone just fine, data over LTE goes on as normal, but anytime I try to make a call, be it with the stock dialer or through a diff one from the play store (for kicks, last resort). I reseated the SIM card a multitude of times, to no avail. I get full functionality with my SIM in my other phone, so I'm sure it must be the hardware itself on the phone. Every time com.android.phone stops, the SIM initialization happens like when you physically re-seat the SIM.
The troubling thing is that I haven't done anything, save for a simple kernel and recovery update, which would've been negated by two RUU runs to stock. I haven't touched the SIM card or anything, at least until that started happening. Furthermore confusing is how all other functionality can remain except for actually making phone calls.
Removing the SIM entirely and dialing a number does the exact same thing, just as an FYI.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?
As I've unlocked my phone, my last resort is to go into a VZW store and act like an idiot so they don't check to see if i unlocked it. Further complicating that is the fact that the DNA was actually purchased on my own account, which I closed, and brought to an unlimited data line that was preexisting. I'm half tempted to wait for the official OTA and see if that will remedy the issue, but my fear is this may be a physical issue beyond the remedy of a firmware update.

Check this thread, me and another member faced the same problem. I can get 3g/2g data, sms and all other functions just right. Just no phonecalls, every time i make a call i get a crash of the app.
So, i am pretty sure this is a software bug. For god's sake, what a strange problem!Did your phone used to work right?
I bought my phone from ebay, did not check if phonecalls are working(i couldn't imagine such a bug) and went straight away to rooting/other kernels/roms etc. But can't find a solution too,tried everything as you, and the worst, i am overseas!!!
Is the update coming soon?
edit1: i have seen lots of threads about sim errors,a very common issue of DNA, i am believing that these two bugs have something in common. No hardware defect, just software bugs.

thanks for the thread, for the life of me i couldn't find anything exactly relating to what i described. that is spot on though, and def makes me feel a bit more at ease that maybe it can be resolved with an update to the firmware that's due soon.
yea, the funny thing is that it worked flawlessly, i never even got the SIM error message, i'd been texting my gf, a few friends, and my parents and then my pops called in the evening and it immediately closed out the call before it really even rang. i called him right back and that's when the force closes started happening, calls never working agian thereafter. however, i was able to still text everyone i was before and data was working flawlessly as always, just no calls, not even after all the crap i did to troubleshoot.
the update is hopefully going to be out soon. the support documents came out a few days ago. i def can't survive on this galaxy nexus after having used my DNA since launch!
I will wait for the update too, hopefully it will be uploaded today or tomorrow i think. But just because i can't get on the air update, i need to download from a server the update and install it on my own.
If anyone finds a solution or have an idea of what to look/do, please post here. I am pretty sure it is a software bug, something is stucking the application from working properly. The other solution is RMA, but it is a very difficult to send it back and get it back again.

Ok, I had the same exact issue. I was stock then went to viper Dna then tried going to hatka and soft bricked my phone. I went back to stock using the RUU. That's when I got the com. Android. Phone crash message. So I had to re unlock reboot and then flash viper Dna again. Everything works as it should now.
After saying all that I just got the new update from Verizon. I assume I shouldn't flash this since I'm on a custom rom.

Hi guys i got a similar problem. My DNA was perfect since yesterday but now i can use data connection for internet. All the other stuff is working fine....SMS,call, wifi, the only thing that is not working is the 3g data. All of this problem came when i flashed the viper DNA, so i flashed the supercharged hoping it was an issue of the rom. Olso with the supercharged the problem was always here.... So i decide to came back to stock and i re-lock my bootloader and flasched stock RUU. But data connection is still not working :crying:
can anyone please tell me what can i do?
Did you install patches 1.1.1& 1.1.2 from viper?They fix some gsm problems.

Has any one figured out this problem? I have not been able to received any phone calls since I did s-off. I have tried everything that has been wrote so with no luck. I have relocked my phone and flashed stock RUU no change. Unlocked and tried several roms still no calls. formatted everything under CWM not change. Fixed permissions. Went back and re-locked and reflashed stock RUU. I know that some of the things above have fixed others phones and some still have problems. I also found a script someone wrote lock my phone which now it says locked and flashed stock rom after that still have problem. Does anyone here here a idea that I have not already mentione above? I like my droid dna but if I can't get it to make and take calls it is a paperweight.:crying:

Yes it is still broke I just don't know what to do at this point paper weight right now.
So this morning when I took my phone off the charger, it shut off immediately. Pulled batter and put it back in multiple times, and it still wouldnt boot. Battery was fine cause it worked in another Note 2. I wiped the contacts that connect to the battery, and then it powered on. Thought it was very strange since it was working just fine the night before. Upon power up, I couldnt make or receive phone calls, couldnt make or receive texts. Really have no idea whats happening!! I've tried flashing several different roms and all react the same. The signal just bounces around and sometimes even goes out (circle with line through it). My IMEI and number still show up just fine in "About Phone".
I'm very confused, because this seems to have happened randomly! I didnt do anything but charge it overnight. I've tried flashing the modem that scott has posted. Any ideas? Should I just try and ODIN back to stock?

No problem. Wasn't really sure, now I know. I'm in the process of restoring to stock. Hopefully it works!
Well turns out it may have been a hardware problem! Restored to stock, and I still had the same problem. No 3G, couldnt call or text. But I did have a 4G signal that worked, plus I could receive texts. So strange! Took it to Verizon and between the store rep and tech support, they couldnt figure it out. So they're sending me another tomorrow. In case anyone was curious...
Well, just an update to my saga, in case anyone cares!! My second replacement came this morning. Upon putting my battery and sim card in, it booted up. Was going through the setup process when i just shut off. Took me about 10 min or so to get it to power on again. When it finally booted up, I had the same problem I had originally, 3G and talk/text doesnt work. Also had the faint smell of electronics burning up. My first though was my battery is frying the radios. But why wouldnt it do the same in my original phone that had the proximity sensor problem?!!
I'm ready to move on from the Note 2, Ive had nothing by problems with Samsung hardware being faulty for me.
I am hoping someone can help me with this problem I have read a lot of threads but none of them have any real solution.
My Verizon Samsung Fascinate 3G icon keeps disappearing and after 5-10 minutes comes back for maybe 1-2 minutes before it disappears again. it keeps doing this all day.
I have done these to see if it make any difference but no luck same thing happens.
1. I have pull out the battery for a while and put it back ( Noting Change )
2. I have restore back to stock roms ( Noting Change )
3. I have updated the radio and modem ( Noting Change )
4. I have called *228 and updated the PRL ( Noting Change )
If someone can please help me with this I really would amazing

has your phone been activated and used to make any calls?
when you say "restore back to stock roms" you're talking about version 2.3.5 with EH03 radio correct?
which custom ROM were/are you trying to run?
.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes my phone have been activated and was working fine till last week. I can still make calls anytime with no problems.
Yes I have restore back to and tried EH03, ED05 and EC09 and none of them fixes the 3G problem.
I was using geewiz-2.9.2 rom for the past year and had no problems but all of the sudden this happened

well at this point I don't know what else to say geewiz or stock should not have the issues you describe, could just be Verizon issue with signal in your area,,, I have seen mine struggle at different times of the year for no apparent reason at all...
EH03 should give the best reception but I remember running the others at different times too but not in the last year+
