Cannot send SMS (5.1.1 Lollipop) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently rooted my Z2 (D6503) and updated to latest version (23.4.A.1.232) and since then i cant send sms throgh default messaging app. I can however receive incoming messages without any problem. I tried Google Messenger but the problem is same. However when I use Hangout as default app for SMS it can send SMS as well. It's been very confusing as to where lies the problem with default messaging app and google messenger as i want either of it to be the default messaging app.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks

I'm having the same problem with pre-rooted 23.4.A.1.264 . I've tried reflashing but nothing works....

Have exactly the same problem, Google Messenger doesn't send SMS's, Sony Messenger gives an error message. I can't even restore my SMS backup. Only Hangouts works. Hope someone finds a fix for this soon.

Reinstall everything. It is a known bug. Send and receive a few SMS between mods, that works for me!

Do you mean reset the phone and start again or downgrade the firmware and then start again?
If the second option, would moving to a 5.1.1 custom rom be a better option?
What is it in the stock rom that is causing the error?

Try the factory reset, if it doesn't work reinstall from scratch (Downgrading from 4.4.2 I send/receive at least 2 SMS; That's easy for me because I have another phone lying around for testing purposes like this) Another bug: The SMS is sent but the message, the picture of the bubble where the text is located is washed out. I hate that too

Had the same problem, solved by installing a custom rom

What one did you use?
Edit: I ask because I tried eXistenZ Premium 7 and it had the same problem.

This can and will happen on very modified ROMs or even just a stock prerooted firmware; it is very random.

So I just have to keep flashing different roms until something works?

Thanks, it didn't work for me unfortunately, neither did CM11/12.1 or downgrading stock firmware.

Did you wipe data, system, cache, before installing new rom?

Yes and after too, I also tried to a factory reset inbetween.
The only thing I can think of now is to restore TA, lock bootloader and flash unrooted stock rom/recovery and see if the problem still remains. If it does then the phone must be faulty (tested sim in old Nokia and sent SMS fine).

Differences between each country firmwares?

Now I updated my Z5C to MM using the Singapore FTF. As I live in Spain, wonder if there are differences between the firmwares supplied for each country, and btw is there to get the FTF file for each country.
You can flash any firmware from any country. Just use the "unbranded" or "generic" or "customised" ones for your model number. There are just different kinds of bloatwares in each region and you can uninstall them
One difference in the Dutch (NL) firmware, and possibly others, is that instead of 'LTE' and 'LTE+' in the statusbar it shows '4G' and '4G+'.

So it's safe to dirty flash an ftf? Normally I would just wipe it all, but I need to keep some banking applications etc

Yes! I have a Dutch (NL) phone, flashed an unbranded Lollipop FTF over it months ago (from Austria or so), and now I flashed the Marshmallow 6.0 unbranded Singapore FTF. All works fine.
Of course there might be minor problems, but those would also occur if you did a normal update. But that really depends per phone and such.
Also. Don't get scared when flashing a FTF takes 15 minutes or so and it looks like Flashtool is hanging. Especially the system.sin flashing takes a good 10 minutes. But just give it time.
Feel free to contact me if you need help.
Thanks mate.. Greatly appreciate your response
Hmm kinda think its weird that carrier branded version get online way faster then the unbranded one

That's one of the questions I had, now my Z5C shows LTE instead of 4G. Wonder if there's a way to get the right FTF for each country latter...

I had problems yesterday when I dirty flashed MM. Play store and google services didn't work at all. Finally I wiped everything and installed again.

I dirty flashed. Updating Google Services took 20 minutes and restarted a few times, as it would get stuck, but finally it went through and everything works fine including Play Store.

I flashed the Singapore ftf without any wiping and everything is working fine. I didn't lost anything. Even my home screen it's the same with all my shortcuts and widgets.
Some firmwares may disabled the VoLTE if that country/carrier doesn't has VoLTE and some VoLTE got different standard/settings too I've heard. Like if I flash the Singapore MM, my HK VoLTE probably will brick out. But other then VoLTE, everything else should work without problem.

just upgrade play services app to ***-4**,you can find it at apkmirror.com
before update,LP rom got a ***-2** play app. But MM need ***-4** version,after upgrade,everything should work fine.
And for Z5c ,it should be ***-446

Nordic - Bloat can be uninstalled or disabled. 4G icon, no persistent NFC icon.
I'm wondering if not being able to turn off the VoLTE Provisioning Flag in the INFO menu is specific to certain firmwares. I'm using the Singapore firmware and I can't seem to turn it off.

Software update questions

Hello!
I've just got my OPX and I wanted to update my software (my phone is running on Android 5.1.1 and OxygenOS 2.1.2), but I couldn't find a software update button in Settings >> About phone.
Does this mean that I have to update it manually (using my PC)?
If so, can I just get the latest update or do I have to install them one by one, in chronological order?
Will there be any loss of data?
Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-rom-ota-t3301797
You would have to flash chronological, yes. I already read about the missing button here some time ago.
Just backup your stuff and flash the full 2.2.1. ROM .

Root and use Titanium Backup to restore apps' settings.
Eventually, you will encounter bugs (Shelf, Google Hangout calls). The newest version is bug-free for me and runs very smooth with a custom kernel (BluSpark).

Does rooting void the warranty? I've bought my phone from a carrier (off contract) in the EU and I have 2 years of warranty. The last time I've rooted a phone was in 2011/2012 and I remember being uncertain about the warranty.

No, with OnePlus devices it does not void the warranty. Check here: https://oneplus.net/support/answer/will-rooting-or-unlocking-the-bootloader-void-my-warranty
You really are sure you don't see System Update in Settings -> About phone? Have you tried search in Settings?

It could be the phone model number(3 models) and it might be the baseband or even the software version.
What is your model number?
It should be in about device in settings, or written under the battery cover or on the back of the phone.

Auto-rotate stopped working

Hi,
I've noticed the issue and it started to annoy me
When I get the phone to landscape position it does not auto-rotate.
It was working previously, but I don't know when exactly it stopped and what could cause it.
I have tried to restart the phone, to wipe the cache partition, to restore factory settings - nothing helped.
Is this known issue or should I ask for service and hardware repair?
It's happening with my Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461).

Until now it's just you who reported the issue here, a few questions before you go for service repair:
Since when do you have your phone?
Did it fell sometimes?
Are you using a custom ROM or the original one from Huawei?
And of course I had to ask even though it's obvious, do you have auto-rotate option ON or OFF?

Good morning
I have some news for you, there is a current problem with also a person with problems on the compass (sensor for rotation) @Rondrey, and I can see your versions are the same.
So before you guys send your phone to warranty I suggest the following:
Either downgrade to the previous version of the EMUI or wait for another update from OTA.
To install or downgrade official software please look into this thread/guide by @kilroystyx:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/rom-official-emui-8-0-huawei-p20-lite-t3773999
So either you guys wait for the latest update 8.0.0.147 on build C461 of your country and see if it fixes it or downgrade to 8.0.0.145 or 8.0.0.144 using a dload package (step 7 of the guide of kilroystyx).
Kindly,

Should be fixable by software, it's Huawei's fault obviously altough right now, the only thing you can do to make it work is either having a custom ROM to see if works alright which it should if it doesn't try custom kernels and check if it works out
Else you need to downgrade to a version which was working before.
