I have this problem with my Samsung S3 i9300, running on it's stock ROM, the phone functionality is fine. (not using on data network or wifi)
Means phone calls are able to be made and received without any problems.
SMS can be sent and received as well, but sometimes, messages are not received!
I've switched the SIM to another phone, and then all the messages are coming in...
I've changed the SIM to a new one but still the problem remains.
Later on, I've flashed the phone to another ROM (S4 Revolution). It was working for awhile then it's happening again.
Now, running on CyanogenMod 10.1.3, it's been fine for awhile until yesterday, with over 5.3k of SMS, certain messages aren't coming in again.
Have any one of you had this issue before? I mean SMS is like the most basic function in a phone and it's not perfect on my S3!
For the record, the application there aren't any application installed prior to that problem, and there are more than 1gb of memory available.
I guess formatting the phone or resetting it would help, or clearing all of the SMS, but would I need to do it everytime? hmmm...

Hey,
My problem:
Yesterday I flashed a few MIUI-ROMs, now I have neither a data connection, nor can I send or receive SMS. Also, calls are not possible. However, I can log in to the mobile network.
Kernel is reflashed, tried another ROM and already restored via SEUS.
Do not go on.
Can you help me?
I had this happen to me, my gsm card went bad cause the phone got hot when i loaded a kernal that was o/c, ATT swapped my sim for free, the funny part was that after I messed with the rom, I got no "faulty sim" or any alert that it was actually bad.
Hi, I'm having a strange problem here. The phone does not receive any text messages. It can still send them and still receives mms though. This is actually the second time it's happened and none of the solutions I've found so far have worked.
What I ended up doing the first time it happened was I took out the sim and put it into my old phone (an AT&T One X) and that would receive all those texts I wasn't getting before. Then I factory reset the S3 and put the sim back into it. Doing that solved the issue for a little while, but now it's happening again.
Anybody know what's happening here or what I'm doing wrong? I'm on AT&T and currently running Android Revolution HD 22.4 using the latest official Samsung rom. The phone is a European version that I bought from Newegg unlocked.
Thanks!

My wife's having the same problem with her international GS3 on AT&T - just stopped receiving text messages a couple of days ago, but she can still send them and she can receive MMS. She swapped sim cards and nothing changed, and a factory reset didn't fix the problem. Call center number is correctly indicated in the messaging app. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T and they were unable to help (and unwilling to help after I said the word "unlocked"). However, I put the sim in an old phone and she immediately received the missing text messages.
Running stock EMB5, not rooted.
I think it's some configuration problem.
Like number of SMS center or such, ask your operator to get exact configuration.
I have been experienced similar problem, not unable to receive but unable to sent correctly, my text was incorrectly encoded.
just check out the setting.

Well as I said, the call center number was correct.
In any case, I seem to have fixed the issue (for the moment, at least) by using the kies "firmware upgrade and initialization" procedure to wipe and reset the phone.
Hey all,
Recently, in the last 2 weeks, I've been having an odd data problem on my nexus 5 (4.4.2)
Where my data icon is orange, instead of white, yet I have full working internet access.
However, things like WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, won't sync until I get WiFi, but yet, I can send and receive messages?
I've tried rebooting, the airplane mode trick, full factory reset, and new APN settings.
I'm on T-Mobile/EE UK. PAYG. Been with them a week-ish.
I was on orange/ee before, and that stopped working entirely, but that was orange, not my phone, cos apparently my number didn't exist. Lol
I deleted all my apns and put them all back again, which fixed it for about 5 seconds, now its back orange again!
WiFi works perfectly.
I get an error when trying to sync Google sound search. But everything else works fine.
Any idea what it could be?
APNs? Phone, or network?
Two days ago I stopped receiving text messages. I found that I can send them out and they'll arrive on friends' phones, but I simply can't receive them. I can however receive MMS and phone calls. I had this problem once in the past while on the same rom I'm using now, and a simple restart fixed it. Not the case now Does anyone know a fix for this besides wiping data?? I already tried booting up my sim on a different phone but I got nothing.
I'm using Carbon Rom with android v4.2.2
Hello folks.
I'm having an issue with my phone, S21 Unlocked SM-G991U1 (purchased directly from Samsung). This post might be long because I want to include all info to help answer questions that I might already have eliminated possible issues on.
I bought the phone March 18th and it's been working perfect up until exactly 4 days ago. What's been happening is that it will fail to send sms/texts randomly throughout the day. I can be having a conversation with someone then suddenly the texts I'm sending will begin to fail and they will get the ! or endless spinning circle depending which messaging app I'm using. I tried several apps (stock messaging, Google messages, textra) to eliminate the possibility of it being a specific one, it happens with all of them.
I then switched my sim card to another phone for several hours (S8) to see if it was a network issue... The S8 works perfect, no failed texts. As soon as I switch the sim back to the s21 the messages will fail again.
This happens at any given time, it will go from working fine for about 5 messages in a row then fail on every next message for about 10-15 mins then start working again.
This does not affect MMS or phone calls. Only SMS.
I'll also be able to receive any sms messages sent to me without issues at any time, even when outgoing ones fail.
I've tried resetting Network Settings to no avail.
I just did a complete factory reset, also no to avail. I'm lost here.
The phone has the latest update and had been working perfect up until 4 days ago. I can also say that I don't think the latest update was the cause because it started the day before I received the push notification for the update.
I'm on AT&T prepaid.
Please let me know if you have any questions I might not have covered or if you've encountered this issue before or what might be the fix. Thanks in advance!
