When I receive a contact which someone has sent to me via SMS, the vcard comes in an unreadable format. There is heaps of weird letters and numbers. I am however able to make sense of the phone number. Is there any way to fix receiving cards in MIUI? Never had this problem with my old Samsung Galaxy S4 or Nexus 5.
I'm running Xiaomi.EU ROM.
Thanks.

I have noticed that if i add two SMS recipients and try to send the SMS it fails.
Instead of there being two seperate numbers they end up as one !!
hence the failure
I have recently upgraded the ROM so am not sure if this was an issue on the previous ROM
any feedback /workaround would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
this also happens to me whenever I send SMS to more than one recipient!! :? I put my XDA near a speaker & compared it with my Nokia 6310, I've found that the Nokia waits about 3 seconds before sending any other SMS, but my XDA doesn't wait at all!! It sends the next SMS immediately!
Maybe this is the cause of the problem!
When I was running the original ROM that came with my Xda II (1.03.00 Asian Version), my device would send SMS messages to multiple recepients one by one, confirming the message sent to every recepient.
After the upgrade to ROM version 1.60.44, it still sends to multiple recepients, however it does not confirm the message sent to every receipient anymore, and if you send to your own number entering it mre than once, you will only receive one message.
I got a Galaxy S2 from Korea, and currently in India, initially I had this problem of not being able to send messages, while I can receive them and I had to change some device setting and that works, partially.
Recently I tried to conference calls on my phone and I don't see a merge/conference option in any form or setting. I called my operator to make sure they have not disabled it and confirmed it to me enabled. Any thoughts suggestions would be great!
a second issue is wrt sending sms, while I had to change sms prefs to CS (Circuit Switched) from PS (Packet Switched), I cannot send longer sms, it converts them automatically to MMS and just displays that its sending constantly and nothing more happens .
I am using the default ICS Stock ROM provided by Samsung Korean variant.
PS: I would love to know the hardware differences between the international version and the korean version, I seem to have NFC while the others did not seem to have, These possible driver mismatch is a concern to flash any ROMs.
Thanks,

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.
My Galaxy Note II can receive and send phone calls, I can use data over the 3 network and I can receive texts, but I cannot SEND texts.
My Note II is rooted, unlocked and running Jelly beans rom V5 on the 3 network in Scotland on a pay as you go SIM card. The SIM card works in my other UK phone (unlocked Nexus S), i.e. I can send texts when it's in the Nexus.
I have never been able to send texts with the 3 SIM card in the Note II, (as in this isn't something that was working and stopped, it never worked). My note II was able to send texts when it was on the Verizon SIM in the states.
After I send a text, the "view message info" screen show it as sending to a +44 number and says sent. Several hours later (after the recipient in question never receives the text) I get a text from +441144 (then recipients number) with a message stating " Your text - to - speech message to 01144 (number of recipient) has been rejected by recipient phone."
Calling my +44 contacts works just fine.
I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas/ similar issues with their Verizon note II abroad ?
Thank you for your help and time
Using rooted Verizon phone to text on UK three network
I had the exact same problem, three network, using a Verizon S3 with synergy ROM and a hacked APN (as Verizon would not allow APN to be added), I guess you figured that bit out? Using APN Manager Pro running as a system app as set by Titanium Backup Pro.
You also have to make sure you have all the right APN settings, this was done to make DATA work on the phone.
Now the problem you describe is exactly what we had, it's the format of your phone numbers in your contact list, for UK numbers while in the UK, you DO NOT use the +44 or 44... just enter the number as normal 0745 xxx xxx etc... and that fixes the problem. Btw It's quicker to log into your gmail account and edit all of your phone numbers in there, presuming you use Gmail to sync your contacts and not verizon backup as that won't work over here when off their network.
This does cause another problem though, if you happen to use Viber, then viber will not see the contact, so what you do for that is add ANOTHER entry in the same contact, so I use the WORK field, and you enter +44 745 ... you must have the + in there and you must drop the zero, this way normal text works using the MOBILE entry in UK format, and Viber can see the contact in thge WORK entry... all appears to work doing this.
I know it's off topic and you may not use viber, but if you do, then your USA contacts would have to change your phone book entry to +44 745 xxxxxx again including the + and international country code and they can then see you as a viber contact. To see my USA contacts I changed my entries to +1 xxx xxx xxxx, so an orlando number might be +1 407-999-9999 then Viber can see the contact, just use multiple entries within the same contact, there are plenty of fields available.
Hope all of this helps, took some time to figure it all out

I'm having this problem too, on a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2 that I imported from America (it's got a slide-out keyboard, we don't have them over here), also rooted and running on the three network.
I've changed all my +447 contacts to 07 but texts only send successfully when I start a new conversation and pick the 07 recipient. When they text me back the number at the top changes to +447 again and I can't reply without starting a new conversation.
Any tips?
possible workaround
I've installed Handcent to replace the stock sms app and it seems to be working well so far. As far as I can tell, replies are successful and the number doesn't default to +44
Is it possible to make and receive calls ?i tried installing google dialer but it does not work?
Maybe with root we can? I dunno if the hardware will allow it.
GSM Voice and Data capabilities are disabled in the radio firmware. Teh device may not even have an amplifier for GSM. Even with root we wont be able to change that unless someone knows a lot about Qualcomm radio stuff and can add/modify the proper settings in QXDM/QPST . This is VERY unlikely.
Fongo works, so does csipsimple with a sip voip account.
I expect Google Hangouts will be fine too.
Same **** as the Nexus 7. What a scummy move.
Surely works but only on wifi (won't work on 4G LTE). Tried using it with my Ooma mobile app to place & receive calls without any technical issues.
I know it's not the answer to the question but, Hangouts works fine on LTE.
What about SMS?
I tried using Pad X to receive SMSs from my bank. I inserted a SIM card into it, installed Google Messenger SMS app and tried to get any SMS. I didn't see any notifications, but when I opened the Google Messenger once, I briefly saw the SMS appear in the program, but it disappeared quickly and again I saw an empty list of messages. Do you know if there is some service in this firmware that deletes any incoming SMS?

I have sent SMS back and forth to my phone from this tablet just fine. It simply worked.
