Hi, I have recently bought a Sim unlocked O2 XDA Mini S. I am on Orange network and put my sim in. Making and receiving calls no problem.
It wont allow me to send or receive text messages. I called Orange to replace Sim and they wont do it. I am absolutely clueless about ROM s or IMEI s etc. and i would appreciate help and explanations as though i am a 10 year old.
All i know is that the device is a G4. I have tried searching forums but have no idea where to find it.
Please help as it is getting really frustrating.
Thanks
I might be wrong here but I had a similar issue, I think it is a case of setting the device so that SMS is the default mail application. I forget where in the settings this is but will look later this evening if you havent found.
Hi, Thanks for that. I have tried to change settings but it won't allow me to do so. I get a message saying "phone not ready, try again in 15 seconds"

I had this same exact problem/message once. I had an orange sim which came with the SPV M700 (trinity) hence it was a 3G sim card. Tried using it with a SPV M600 (prophet) and it kept throwing up that message. Using other sim cards and the M600 would work perfectly. The problem was the sim card and Orange UK will not change it to a 2G card even over their dead bodies!!! Only solution was to go back to a 3G-enabled phone (which I did for a while) or change network which I did eventually (T-Mob - lots of free calls on Flext 35 )
has anyone found a way round this yet?

Is the messaging centre no. correct? it may be just something that needs to be resolved via your network, so prob best to ring your network and see if they have any solutions before concluding that it may be something to do with the phone? Hope it helps!!
I have same problem but I can't receive sms after update on 2.3.6. I tried with another radios, hard reset, another sim card but problem still exists...

Here's a discussion on the SMS issue on the official Motorola forums and it seems that many of us seem to be facing and most of the time it seems to be caused by updating your phone's firmware while with your sim card still inside of your phone, and this seems to cmpletely disrupt
The way that your phone communicates with your sim card, resulting to delays in smses, I've just got a new sim card today and it does seem to solve the issue of retrieval and sending delays but I'd save my quick conclusion for a more thorough speculation Hope this helped!

@all of you facing this sms problem
here is a workaround to get rid of the issue till motorola comes up with a convincing and permanent solution.
Step 1. remove sim from the handset (if u dont have the sms problem). it does not matter whether the sim is inside the phone or not if you are already facing sms problem as you will have to get a new sim after the update (the issue would persist with any update till you get a new sim)
Step 2. update to latest version
Step 3. perform a hard reset if updating from GB to ICS. if you are updating to battery performance bug fix on ICS (like the one from .324 to .328 AsiaRetail) only clearing the cache should suffice.
Step 4. reinsert the sim (if you never had sms problem before update). GET A NEW SIM (IF YOU HAD SMS PROBLEM BEFORE THE UPDATE)
FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY UPDATED AND FACING THE ISSUE, PLEASE GET A NEW SIM AND IN FUTURE DONOT UPDATE OR RESET WITH THE SIM INSIDE THE PHONE.
PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS FIX IS NOT PERMANENT. MOTOROLA IS YET TO COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX SO THAT WE NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT OUR SIM.

Will that solve the problem? Anyone tried this?
I'm using MIUI, I can install the same version to try to fix the problem, right?
Hello, I just got a lumia 800 today and man i am blown away by both nokia and windows phone 7.5 :victory:
Anyways, I am facing a problem: I use a prepaid sim and on my other previous phones, after each call/sms i used to get a automatic message regarding the amount used in the last call/sms and the remaining balance for my prepaid sim. But now on my lumia 800 i am not getting those messages after the call/sms. Anyone here knows the solution to this problem? I tried using the counter app by nokia but that only keeps track of the number of minutes/sms. But in the notification which I get after each call/sms, it shows the other things like free minutes/sms left and something like that which the counter app doesnt show.
I really need this after call/sms notification badly
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately Windows Phone is not compatible with that feature. Maybe they would fix this in 7.8 update..
Also reply based USSD code is also not supported on Windows eg: In Vodafone (India) dialing *111# would reply back with a menu of option (action to perform) with a dial back number assigned for the option, which in windows phone is not supported. You would be able to see the option list, but no dial-pad to respond..
And there's no market software for that either.
Thanks for the reply but today morning I noticed after I ended a call, tht message which I am talking about was showing....I was happy so I tried it again by calling someone and ended the call, but then it didnt show up Then I tried calling a couple of times but it didnt work. I dont know how it showed that message just that once....strange
So I think the feature but it only shows once in blue moon.

yeah... but somehow I don't miss that feature anymore......
but yet would like to see it on 7.8
After a couple of weeks of testing I found out that after ending a call or sending a sms, once in a blue moon the remaining balance and the particular amount deducted from your prepaid account message comes up.
Its really coming up randomly, still trying to figure out what actually triggers the message to pop up after a call or sms
I have an Honor 5x I bought from Amazon, and I can't seem to send text messages (standard text messages). I can receive them fine, but they won't send for some reason. I exchanged the phone via Amazon, however I am still having the same issue.
BTW - I am using my phone with T-Mobile service....is anyone else experiencing this and is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

I'm on AT&T, so I don't know for sure, but check your APN settings.
A quick google search gave me the T-Mobile APN's, double check yours. If you need to find it, it's usually under SIM Cards, 'your sim card settings (yours can be 1 or 2)', and then Access Point Names.
I can't post outside links because I'm a new user- if you google "t-mobile apn settings android", you'll probably find something.
Hi good people of XDA, Iam facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 6.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but i didn't find anything related to this issue. Am i he only one who is facing it?
Any insights could help a lot.

Looks like your carrier is blocking caller ID on outgoing calls or you somehow enabled it on your own. I know with Verizon I can block my number on all calls or on a case by case basis.

Hi bobby, thanks for the reply.
Caller ID is not blocked. The person that receives the call is seeing my number.

Oh I get it now. That's an odd one, I can't seem to find a setting where that would change things.
Maybe an app you have is messing things up. Have you tried making a call while in safe mode?

Explain safe mode please.
When you are on the the Emergency, Lockdown, Power Off... Etc screen, long press on Power Off. It will give you an option to reboot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode disables all of the apps you installed so you can see if it's an app causing the issue.
Just reboot again to get out of safe mode.
Go to settings > apps > all apps, tap on the 3 dots (upper right) and 'Show system' apps. Then try clearing cache and data for:
- dialer (phone app)
- phone storage
- contacts app
- contacts storage
Then reboot.
Not sure if that will help, but does not do any harm, it will resync all your contacs.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I tried both suggestions.
I rebooted in safe mode and tried calling my wife.
The problem persisted.
I tried clearing data and cache for the apps suggested and rebooting the phone.
The problem persisted.
The strange thing while I am calling the phone of the contact is shown in the dialer. As soon as the person I am calling answers the phone their name is replaced and the dialer app shows "Private number" instead.
I am really confused!

Post it on Reddit r/GooglePixel sub. This can't be unique. I'm thinking carrier related but just a shot in the dark at this point.

I'm intrigued. Which carrier? Do you have wifi calling you can try out?
Maybe something in permissions manager?
Hello! We have the same problem. On my wife's phone (Pixel 6), the phone writes private number for outgoing calls. There is no problem with incoming calls. Like Gonik, I tried everything, but nothing helped.
We live in Hungary and our mobile service provider is Telekom.
Carrier: Cablenet
Wifi calling: not supported
My next step is to try a sim card from a different carrier.

I am relieved that I am not alone! At the same time, I am sorry your wife is going through the same problem.
Hopefully Google will acknowledge it soon.

Yes, it would be nice to fix it because the error is pretty frustrating. And on top of that, she got the phone from me as a gift.
Omg, I am not alone. So I bought unlocked phone in USA, and I am using it in Serbia (Europe) on mts network. ChrYslerHUN is in neighboring Hungary, so it could be related to usa/europe differences and European carriers.
But still, I have never seen anything like that, and it is quite frustrating. What does outgoing calls have to do with carriers. Your phone. should know which numbers you dialed, right.

I'm having the exact same issue. Not only me, my wife also has a Pixel 6 and is experiencing the same problem. I've searched in Google but only found a couple of posts in Reddit and this one. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's kind of annoying. I'm from Spain.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
In the meantime, I installed another dialer application that can also record calls, so the problem is partially resolved, as it shows the called party properly during recordings. Regardless, it would even be nice to have an official fix for the bug.
The dialer application name is: ACR Phone
ACR Phone - Apps on Google Play
Privacy respecting phone dialer app with SIP and call recording support
