Strangest thing just happened: After using Omega V51 for about a day without any problem phone suddenly ceased to recognize contact's numbers. When my contact calls me, phone shows only number. Same thing with SMS and call log. When I open contacts everything seems to be OK.
Has anyone else encountered such...?

Hello.
My father has a SGS2 and has a problem with receiving messages.
It's so complicated, I don't know how to explain it )
When someone texts him, he receives that SMS multiple times. And if he receives another message, the telephone keeps receiving the first message.
Last night I took a test: I sent him 4 messages, little time one after another. He received 8 messages (all duplicates of the first), but in a very strange way: at a 10 minutes interval (0:07, 0:17, 0:27...).
Does anyone has any idea?
Have you tried his sim in another phone to rule out the phone as the problem?

Yes, I tried his sim in another phone and also my sim in his phone.
But... it looks like the problem was solved!
My father uninstalled this morning all the apps and games he didn't use, and magically he receives the messages ok
I think it was some bug, but I can't relate it to any app, unfortunately.
Hmmm without reinstalling them one by one it would be hard to fine the problem app.

Sup guys,
I've got the Galaxy S3 from Optus in Australia, and I've used SMS Backup and Restore to move my messages from my S2 to my S3. It works for a couple of hours and I can send and receive messages but after a while it refuses to start until I delete mmssms.db and .db-journal and replace it with a backup.
Soooooo any of you guys faced this problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
I havent restored anything but sometimes my whole phone freezes for about 5 seconds when recieving a text regardless of what im doing on the phone

I've tried doing this too. It's not the phone freezing for 5 seconds before loading. It's that message don't work at all. You can't do anything with messages. You try opening the messaging app, and after a while, the phone says it is not responding, and I can force close it if I want, or keep waiting. Whenever I get sent a text, it restarts the phone. I can't do anything with messages, and have had to hard reset it so I can. I've tried about 4 different apps, all promising to work, but none have.
Does anyone else know how to transfer messages from my S2 to S3 (I have a lot)
Hi,
I recently helped a colleague purchase a Galaxy SIII phone here in China, Guangzhou and made sure I checked the phone over completely before I purchased it.
I've done a search on the forums and check out anything that may be similar, but to no avail.
The problem is:
The phone will not receive any text messages, or at least they don't go through to the messaging app.
Text messages were being received normally for around a week
I disabled a bunch of pre-installed Chinese crap that is unfortunately not un-installable as it's baked into the ROM
It happened once, so I factory reset it, and then tested it. The text messages worked fine
I then disabled the Chinese stuff once again and installed Skype. Just to be sure, I sent more test text messages, and they were all received fine.
Around one week later, here we are, she says that text messages are not being received again.
All other functions of the phone are working. Internet / Edge network, sending texts, Play store, everything. Just not the receiving of texts!
I'm fairly confused as to this behaviour, particularly as it seems the text messages are working for a time limited period.
I had some inklings of what it could be:
- The SIII takes a micro-sim, the shop "manually" chopped the SIM using a cutter. Could this have damaged the SIM and caused this behaviour?
- The phone itself is faulty
- Something is up with the China Mobile settings / network and she needs to call them.
What would be your diagnosis, ideas, solutions XDA'ers?
Further information of any kind is, of course, available on request.
**** My ideas for a fix ****
Root the bastard and get a standard UK ROM on the phone to see if it works. However, I have some concerns. Years ago, when I bought my first HTC desire, when I rooted and put a UK ROM on it, I discovered that my phone was an imported Thai version of the phone and almost bricked it into a reboot loop as the phone didn't like a different regions ROM being loaded on.
I had to go through a convoluted process of making a specially edited SD-card to fool the phone into accepting different ROMS. Is this the case with the Galaxy SIII or have times moved on to more sophisticated means?
Thanks.

Have you try other messaging apps like Hancent SMS or Go SMS to confirm that msg service is not working?
Or maybe the CSC is causing the problem?

Open the stock messaging app. In its menu go to settings. Check that there is a number recorded under message centre. If not use Google to find the number for the carrier you are with and enter it.
I'm on an unrooted phone with a stock Rom and twice messaging has stopped working. The cause was that this number had spontaneously disappeared.

Ok, I've tried:
- alternative messaging apps, and they're not picking it up either.
- the message centre number.
When you say CSC? You mean the carrier code? It was bought in China and fitted with a Chinese ROM, but I'll look at the ROM settings and see what it is.
Thanks.
U dial *#1234# then you can see your csc
CSC – (Consumer Software Customization) Refers to the specific country or carriers for that said firmware is being build.
This where it contains the default settings of each specific geographical region, carrier network providers and network data connections.

I am having this problem. It was all working fine then suddenly it stopped. I don't know what could be the cause but I fooled around with the settings, deleted old text messages and then suddenly I received dozens of text messages.
It's like my phone isn't trying to receive any text messages. It can send text messages out but it won't receive any.
I am using Omega 31.1.
Can someone help me out please?

I am having this exact same issue. Did you figure out how to resolve yours?
How did you guys resolve this issue?

I had the same issue,
I changed the Network options from gsm only to "Auto" mode, and apparently it worked for me.
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.
For some unknown reason, the caller ID has stopped working on my DNA. The display still shows the number of the caller, but I no longer get the name and picture of the person calling. I have my wife saved as a contact and when she calls I just get the number, and after the call it asks me if I want to save the number to a contact, but the number is already saved in her contact information!! I can't think of anything I might have done or installed that would cause this. Any ideas? Thanks!
Try wiping the cache and data in your dialer.apk and I would do the same thing in your contacts app but make sure you back your contacts up so they can be restored easily. Then do a reboot and report back.

Looks like it was caused by the Jawbone software I installed for my Jawbone ERA. Thanks for the help!
