Are you using UI 1 or UI 2.0. I have issues sometimes with the camera and taking photos when using UI 2
Both 1.0 and 2.0 and even hangouts...no luck sending a picture successfully.
The APN was set to "Simple" and not "Tmobile" by default and Tmobile had settings that didn't work. I had to change the APN settings back to default Tmobile. MMS working now. I still cant figure out why default SMS app texting only 7 digits when formatted (XXX) XXX-XXXX and works only when I remove all parentheses and hyphens.

Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 simply will not send any text messages.
It's a UK phone running on Orange network.
It was fine until last night, when I decided to root my phone.
Used ODIN and flashed with the insecure kernel, then rooted using the S2 Root app, and reflashed with 'I9100XWKE2_Kernel'
Now, whatever I do, text messages simply will not send. I've been in to Wireless and Network settings and enabled packet data etc, but nothing works,
Have I installed the wrong kernel, firmware etc?
Have you checked if your Message Centre Number is right?
SMS Screen -> Menu Soft Button -> Settings

Love you!
Never seen this number disappear before! Rooted my previous phone {Desire} and installed 100s of clean install ROMs over and over, odd!
where did it go?...
Have also developed this problem recently (possibly as a consquence of migrating from Litening Rom to Criskelo Rom), but I see people with new phones also have it so that may be unrelated.
I've checked the Settings both in Stock SMS and GO SMS Pro, but don't see an option for Message Centre number anywhere ... am I going blind, looking in the wrong place, or has the setting been moved elsewhere?
As on Criskelo Rom, Android is at 2.3.4.
Any ideas gratefully received ... really do not want to do a factory reset in the hope that it will get fixed ...
thanks.

SMS problems
For those who experience problems with the SMS, probably the message center number has disappeared and displays as Not Set.
Open the SMS app and then press the left soft key Menu> select Settings>select Message Centre and type any of the numbers below in the Message Centre input box (depending on your network provider):
O2 - +447802000332
Vodafone - +447785016005
Orange - +447973100973 or +447973100974
It will sort you out

Just a heads up that this doesn't work on quite a few custom ROMs since they don't have an SMSC setting in the SMS app.
I ran in to this problem when I messed with the "preferred network type" setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The only reason I did that is because my phone was stuck on 2G after upgrading my version of Resurrection Remix and I thought this would help. It didn't, and to be honest none of that menu seems to work properly on this phone. Settings don't stick and messing with them seems to screw stuff up in general, though perhaps I'm just stupid (likely).
My SMSC was then set to 00 and I kept getting an "update error" message when I tried to change it back to the right number. I flashed working backups of previous versions of Resurrection, only to have the problem persist (is this setting held on the SIM, rather than on the phone?) and even tried flashing to an old GB version of Lite'ning, still the problem persisted.
In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung ICS, and the SMS app in that ROM has a setting for SMSC when you press menu key -> settings. It was really annoying having to flash back to stock just to fix it, but I assume any ROM based on the stock Samsung version of ICS (rather than AOKP or CM9 based ROMs) will have this setting in the SMS app.
Just a tip for those not on stock Samsung based ROMs, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix the SMSC setting and thought this tip might be helpful.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to work. After I flashed Resurrection 2.6 sms just stopped working. I flashed stock ICS. Same. I wiped everything I could wipe. I flashed other 3 ICS stock roms. Same problem. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM, now I'm back for the stock. The message Centre nr is correct, I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the SMSC code is correct there as well, but it is still not sending SMS. I am reaching my limit... I don't know what to do! I feel like I have tried everything...

Try flashing a complete older official firmware package then flash back to the latest using Kies?

Tried it. Flashed official carrier branded GB. Kies upgraded to ICS official soft. Upgrade worked, but it's still failing every sent text message. Again, checked and the message center number is correct, everything else works perfect, it's like a new phone, but with no possibility to send text messages. I have rooted and installed custom ROMS for years now on so many android phones with no problem, this is just ridiculous...
same problem.....
with go sms i can send messages, with stock message application doesn't work.
And i have succesfully configured the SMSC value
Check your carrier, I've had same exact problem and even went back to Gingerbread and upgraded to ICS officially. My carrier did something, elevate it past the customer service reps.

SOLVED!!!
I solved it! I walked into an Orange Shop and the girl checked their servers and there was a problem from the network. She reset something and then it worked with no problem. It took 2 minutes to solve! I flashed so many roms for nothing. Well, back to AOKP now... I'm happy!
Hi,
I recently acquired this galaxy S after my HD2 stopped functioning. When I got it, it had Cynaogenmod on it; however, I wanted MIUI. So, I reverted the phone to stock configurations and loaded MIUI on there.
I used the methods posted in this thread and loaded the revamped SS-6 MIUI rom (I tried all the way up to SS-8). I later found that this was an outdated method and used the suggestions made by the rom creator. Both times I loaded the OS successfully. Unfortunately, the data wasn't working. It showed that I was connected and had full bars with 3G or H connection... but all apps that required data still failed to connect.
I always got a message saying "Data connectivity problem: Server failed to communicate. Please try again later." So, I reverted the phone back to stock JFD using ODIN. I still have the data issue -- nothing connects. The bars are still full and the 3G symbol is still there... it just won't work.
The phone info is:
Model Number: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update 1
Baseband Version: T959UVJFD
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR
The "Mobile Network Type" reads "HSDPA" and the "Mobile Network State" reads "connected".
Just to clarify, I can still text and call. I just have no data. Wifi works. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated; I'm completely stumped here. Thanks!
You saw the answer in the other thread, right?
Nope, I've been looking for an answer. Is there a thread that has a solution?
The one titled: "Miui completely ignores Data settings". It's a problem with the latest MIUI.
Check out the second post in the GingerZen thread. Follow the steps and ODIN using Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick. It should give you a fresh start. As a bonus, it re-roots your phone in the process. Note: only check re-partition for the second flash.
Awesome! Thanks, I'll try it. So, I just use the PIT file that comes with vibrant AIO?
You could grab the one from s15274n's "Noob Guide" too.
Then save all 3 files on your desktop for the next time you have to ODIN.

Your APN settings are screwed up. You'll need to reset your APN settings. Do not go flashing random software to fix your APN settings.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I followed the steps, but I'm still experiencing the data failure. :-\
I expected that to restore all settings. Google the correct APN settings as suggested. Hope that's it.
(But keep the EFTDNB files handy. They aren't exactly random and will usually get you out of a bind.)
I'm pretty sure I have the correct APN settings. At least, they seem to match what everyone else has posted. I noticed that the arrows around the data symbol (3G or H) only light up on the left side. This to me seems to show that I'm sending data; I'm just not receiving it.
Edit: Solution Found! It was on T-Mobile's end. Apparently, the data package from my HD2 was not compatible with this device. So, they set me up with the "Android equivalent" and "presto!", it works. Thanks for all the assistance!

I have flashed this - KL1 update of S II to 2.3.6 (in India)...recently
The built-in blacklist features works for me..
After adding the number from contacts/call log to blacklist
go to settings -> call rejection -> auto reject mode, select only black list
the blact list can also be managed from settings -> call rejection -> black list, add the number , then select appropriate match criteria..
Changes in 2.3.6 KL1 Update
Although a bit late to post, but for those who haven't updated yet, here are the changes I noticed so far after the update:
things which suck:
1. the default font has changed, seems to be a bit bolder –
2. there is a annoying icon in notification bar appears as long as you have vibration on, earlier used to appear only when you had Silent mode on –
3. the usual bounce effect which happened once you scroll to the bottom of menu or list is replaced by some blue color thing –
4. the blacklist feature works but not as smooth as before, has to be enabled first from Call Settings and Auto reject mode and even then the blacklisted caller hears a little ring before it automicatically disconnects –
5. after connecting to kies, no longer get the fullscreen MTP, just a notification icon at the top which is good but once you are copying a large file the screen changes to full screen MTP saying Synchronizing…. and doesn’t let you do anything else –
things which are good:
6. the system power saving mode seems to works and noticed an improved battery life in whatever time I have tested – still under testing though -
7. scroll enabled from the last home screen to the first like it was already there in applications screen -
other changes :
8. Phone ringtone changed, the default minimal tone no longer available
9. Touch key light settings changed – added couple of more options
10. the layout for builtin Power Saving widget has been changed to 4 X 2 (two rows hor) from 4 X 1 (one row) layout used earlier
will continue to check for any other changes and post but from the first looks, seems like I m going back to the earlier version, this one hasn’t done enough for me to stick to it.
No Update?
I checked for update with kies. The update is not listed for my phone.

Yup, I am also not able to find the video calling features or settings.
So, whenever I flash an AOSP-based ROM, I seem to get this SMSC error that prevents me from sending any texts. One text per boot up.
I've tried installing Voice+ and disabling, no luck. I've tried setting the correct SMSC over 4G-LTE, but it still refuses and then I'm forced to set it to CDMA only. I'm on Verizon if it isn't obvious.
ROMs I've tried:
Cyanogenmod 11 (latest snapshot)
Paranoid Android (July 30th)
NuSense Six (HTC-based, only one that works)
You might have seen these by now... but I'll post them anyway. Belated welcome to the club!

Message fail to send. Kk
My Samsung Galaxy S2 doesn't recognize my SIM-card anymore. I can't make calls or use (3G) internet.
Problems started after my phone was unresponsive while trying to pick up an incoming phone call. I had this before, but this time I shut down my phone with the power button. I can't make phone calls ever since or use (3G) internet. At first I could use wifi, but after a hard reset to factory defaults and a cache wipe I couldn't use wifi either.
If I look under 'About the Phone ... Status' (not completely sure what the English version exactly reads) it does not show the IMEI or IMEISV, nor the Wi-Fi MAC-address, nor the Bluetooth-address. The Wi-Fi MAC-address was shown before the reset to factory defaults.
I can't access my phone with (the freshly installed newest version of) Kies, although the 3 drivers install correctly (under Windows 7) when attaching my phone to my PC. I can access the phone via USB (and Windows Media Player).
I tried 2 other SIM-cards. They had the same problem. My own SIM-card works in another (older Nokia / non Smart) phone in the sense that I can make phone calls with it.
My phone has not been rooted.
Android version: 2.3.5.
Any help and solutions to this problem are much appreciated!

You can hope that it isn't a hardware problem and try to Root your phone and flash a custom ROM and see if the problem still is there.
Cleaning the SIM slot maybe is also worth a try.
