Hi,
I am using cm13 and have two sim cards, same operator (home, office).
If used one at a time, I can send sms (smsc is correct).
If they are both inserted, they both fail.
Has anybody ever seen this?
Will try to get some logs tomorrow if I am not doing something stupid.
Unfortunately I do not have a sim card from another carrier to test right now, maybe the combination works.
Thanks!

Basically what is repeating is
11-06 09:23:24.018 W/MessagingApp( 9162): PhoneUtils.getForLMR1(): invalid subId = -1
11-06 09:23:24.018 E/MessagingApp( 9162): Get mms config failed: invalid subId. subId=0, real subId=0, map=[1, 2]
A few interesting things:
In the sim menu, my carrier Vodafone IT is "unknown".
The smsc can be read and updated only in slot 1.
I'll be able to do some better testing later.
Thanks!

That is why I was wondering if anybody else has two sims on the same carrier, and if theirs appear as "unknown" as well.
I am also coming form a clean install.
I will update asap, however there is really not much more to test.
Ii is already confirmed that it works with one sim at a time in either slot, so something is wrong with the combination.

Just remembered that while flashing for some reason my clock went back to day 1, which is Jan 1 1970, and that is the date on my system folder actually!
Could this be it?
I just want to see if I can avoid a reset because the android ID changes and it is a pain for my company email.
Edit: some folders are March 20 1970.
Don't think I could have caused that (assuming it might actually be an issue).
Is it only mine like this?
I took full twrp before and after cm, I hope they are not useless if the date was screwed up.

Have you turned on automatic date and time in Settings?
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 3 using XDA Labs
Yes. It is fine now, I took a backup and it is correct.
I probably took the twrp backup straight after flashing, without booting into the ROM and updating the date.
Besides the backups, the files were written with that date in the first place.
Possibly repeating with a valid date will correct it.
I took a full backup tonight, I'll probably try restoring my stock backup (which might not be ok) and reflashing cm all over.
The whole date thing might not even be related to the issue, but it appeared odd.

The hihonor site also offers B330 firmware. I am supposing that one would suffice?

I saw somebody had started a similar thread a week or so ago on this topic, but now I can't find it.
Anyway, as the subject box says, the option to bill to my at&t account is no longer there when purchasing apps via google play. Was wondering if anyone had a new solution or if there are others out there that still can with google play, or can't like myself.
Thank you

Has anyone heard anything new about this?
I have contacted both Google and AT&T, both of who claim that there should be no problem, either with my account specifically or the system as a whole.
I only have the "Add Card" option.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on AT&T
I too only see the "Add Card" option. So it isn't only you.
I use the option often, and it's still there for me.
I saw the same thread the OP saw a week or so ago, and I remember thinking to myself that it could be missing if you have a custom non stock rom flashed. Would be news to me as I've had custom roms on other phones before and never had a problem. I could be wrong though as I'm definitely not a dev.
I had this option disappear on me, and I've never used a custom ROM on my Infuse. I did root the device, though.
When u use custom Rom it tends to happen but its very rare BUT clear ur market data and go into market it will ask you to log back in. That should work if not let me know

Still missing
I have been fighting this issue since Feb 21st.
I have reset my phone back to factory settings 2 or 3 times and had the sim card changed twice. Still the bill to mobile option is missing. It worked fine and showed up every time until Feb 21st of this year and nothing I do seems to fix it. Strange things is some of my coworkers have the Samsung Skyrocket and can bill to mobile with no problems. Has anyone any real info on whats going on or what the real issue is??

I need more info than that to help u. Are u rooted if so what Rom u using or are u stock?
on Sprint, you had to be a "A" customer, with a year or more of perfect payments to even have a chance of being able to bill to your carrier; if you are new to ATT, or have poor credit, it won't work for you..
My info
It is right out of the box.
I have done nothing to it other than use
as it would normally be used.
So I guess it is stock. No idea how to root a phone.

cant bill to account
same problem, rooted SGSII Skyrocket, completely stock. i used the feature a couple times, then... "poof" its gone. i read some of the replys and i missed a bill one day by mistake and im not sure if thats what did it or not but that was 5 months ago. there are no purchase blocking services on my account, but i cant be totally sure because customer service is closed, so i plan on calling in the morning to find out if there are any hidden services seeing as it is AT&T. im determined to find out why i cant bill things to my account; because i dont use credit cards its quite inconvenient if i want to purchase something. if i figure this out ill be sure to post on this thread and/or make a new one on how to hunt down the solution.
I had a similar problem but I believe it has something to do with the ROM you are currently running. I have seen the option on some roms and not in others.

Well that's the thing, my phone is completely stock except for that it's rooted. And it worked when it was rooted too because I bought "android over clock" coincidentally on February 21, the same day I believe someone mentioned the ability to bill to the account, disappeared.
Well I called att and to no avail. They where as or more clueless to my issue at hand. So I'm stuck behind a brick wall now.

i know this is old news for responding to this response, but I have a Samsung Note I717 as a second line and it has the Bill AT&T option... But I have a dell streak where ive purchased 6 apps over time, with the last one just befoer th 'REDEEM" crap was pushed out.. Now the streak lost the billing option
I had this problem on the 23.03 as well, but didn't notice until this morning when I tried to make a very important business call from work
Much to my dissapointment I cannot make any phone calls using Hydrogen-23.03
So I updated to 25.03 since it is out now
Same problem
After some quick re-flashing and testing I find the problem is to do with the screen density....
When the phone is set for mdpi (160) the com.android.phone app force closes as soon as you hit the 'call' button
I have to keep the phone set at standard yucky 240dpi to make any phone calls
I have tried doing the factory data wipe, plus tried wiping the dalvik cache.. also tried deleting the data of Phone app... nothing seems to make it work at 160dpi
It's a known bug on AOKP that the dialer will crash upon making or receiving calls if the DPI is set below 182. Just set it to that and you should be fine.
No idea if a fix is already in the pipeline.

Will I have any Market issues at 182? I used to choose 160 because it's a standard option, I assumed it might be more compatible and now I've kinda gotten used to it.... I will try 182 though, because I really want to run Hydrogen (today I flashed FoxHound 7.0 and it's nice and I like the apex launcher, but Hydrogen was just so cool with its AOKP awesomeness and the ROM Control menu is great, plus it's a very cut-down ROM which I prefer because so far I can't get any good battery life from my SGS2
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, using 182 will cause compatibility issues since it's a non standard resolution, but you can get around it with LCD density modder pro.

Hi, first post, hopefully at the right place.
I've just installed HyDrOG3NICS. Unfortunately, it seems to have bricked my SII.
I get a black screen, that's all. No recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
Is there anything I can do to get back either the recovery or the download mode?

You have a blank profile, and you only state you have an "SII".
Check what model of SII you have. It will be on the label under the battery.
US carriers all carry a completely different model of SII than what this forum is for (GT-I9100). If you have an American carrier model of SII, you are in the wrong place, and flashed a firmware that wasn't meant for your phone, and may have completely borked it.

You need to be rooted to do this. From what I can tell, HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 is NOT rooted unless you root after installing it.
Also, it's pretty rude to hijack threads, unless you are having the same problem the OP of the thread is having. That applies to both you and soho123.
Yikes! Apologies for offending you!
Only posted it in this one as it was linked to the same ROM!
I'll try not to be so rude in future.

if you flashed the HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 rom you can change them through
settings>>Rom Control >>General UI >> LCD Density.
It will be set to 240 by default. do not change it unless you know what you are doing.. anything less then 182 causes issues with market and phone app on the AOKP rom which HyDrOG3N-ICS is based on
Thanks nomi.

Sounds off topic, but if when you say "it should work shouldn't it", you are talking about the HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, then yes, it should work. Unless you didn't follow the installation instructions exactly.
Hard bricked, so your phone does not react with the battery in and any button presses at all?

This is probably correct, if they don't have a system in place that auto rejects ConsumerCellular/Wind IMEI numbers.
We won't really know for sure until there is an OTA.
I haven't checked today, but Huawei pulled the update. Couple quirks that they need to iron out.
Other apps not staying default, one I've had plus it appears to be eating the battery a bit more, but,
with the 4000 mAH battery, it's no big deal.

Yep, saw that on the Huawei site about a day or two after they released it. Mine should be in their system, but I don't think the update will be coming soon.
I'm starting to get the feeling, they released whatever they had, on the 30th, to satisfy their "in the first half of 2015" pledge, and will sort out the bugs later.
If a consumer is the type that wants cutting edge updates, go with an iphone or Nexus. Otherwise, it's up to the carriers (if ever) to release it or the device maker, if purchasing an unlocked non carrier branded device. The couple quirks on 5.1 aren't that big of a deal, it's stable otherwise.
If it hadn't been for Huawei releasing an easy way to go back to 4.3, I wouldn't have updated. I don't ever turn my device off, so the launcher not sticking, along with the 3rd party SMS program isn't that annoying. It appears it's sucking just a bit more juice, but, with that 4,000mAH battery, it's no big deal, even running in "normal" mode.

Agreed, seems like they are just throwing things out there to cover themselves legally, its hard to find tools like this from their sites so they seem to be just doing it for the sake of doing it. Seeing as they are recalling all of them anyway it makes no sense unless they were trying to put peoples minds at rest but could back fire if their imei checker is as faulty as some batteries.
Imagine the lawsuits that would come if someone checks there imei and it gives them the all clear, then there phone catches fire.
Currently they are on one big ass covering exercise and not doing a very good job of it either
Only annoying thing about this whole debacle is two hours before they announced a recall i had sold my note 5 lol (with your rom on it of course!!!)

Just a thought!
Total recall policy is doubtful. It will never been clear what exact they will provide with new devices. Just new battery ? If so then certain batch don't have issue will remain same ?
Better Samsung have recalled every device and refunded them it could be wise decision. Later after couple of month may come with N8. They may get little loss but surely emerge with clean image and that would be total profit.
Mine's affected, good thing i took mine back this morning.
those IMEI check tools will be official after replacement take place
so you find out from which batch your new N7 and be rest assured its safe
for now maybe all SDI show's as affected
Mine is affected. No surprise.

nope, not worth the risk,
I sent my 5x to the factory for repair of 2 issues. They fixed one issue but not the other and sent it back to me.
Everything on home screen shows up as "ghosting" images on all dark screens (ie: notifications, quickstart and dialer screens). So I get ghosts of all the home screen icons, google search bar, and my screen saver. They are whitish but have a little color. They get stronger as the display is turned up. Huawei is claiming it isn't an issue, but that it's normal and even sent me photos of this ghosting effect on the 5x they keep at the call center for reference (same OS and build as mine). I admit it looks similar to mine. Two supervisors said they see it on their own phones: a Lumia 950 and an iPhone 7. It showed up on my phone about 2 weeks after I upgraded to Marshmallow and was not there before. I've never seen this on any other phone. So they are implying I need to live with it because it's "normal" for this model. Comments please? I think they should have sent me a new phone.
Please check your phones and see if you have this ghosting effect also. If you do it will be obvious, not subtle.

Sorry, I tried two different ways to post a link with a pic, but the site won't let me. And I see no way to upload one directly. How do I do this? It says I can't because I haven't made enough posts.
I could email it to you, I guess. Please tell me the correct way to do this on here.

OK, will try what you said
I uploaded a pic to tinypic and tried to insert it here, but still no go.
I clicked on "insert image" but there is no option to uncheck. I also tried the icon that says "insert link. I cannot find any options that I can uncheck.. Sorry if I'm being dense. Could you be more specific please?
I had the same problem here running on EMUI 6.1.
after i played a game called BBTAN on my phone for a long time and i clicked it away to go to whatsapp or something, you could see the highscore of the game and some other stuff of it very vagely in the other app screens.
I thought it had to do with the heating up of the device and display after playing a game for like a long time... BUT...
I was allready planning to unlock my phone and upgrade to LineAgeOS (Cyanogenmod) 14.1 because i didnt like EMUI. SO, upgraded the software 2 weeks ago and never had the issue anymore ever since.... Very weird...
most probably the software issue, can be solved by either a factory reset or flashing any other custom rom

Thanks for the reply. It was in my spam folder so I didn't find it until now.
I've never heard of EMUI 6.1. Is it possible you mean Android 6.1? To my knowledge, EMUI only goes up to 4.1 When I upgraded my phone to Android 6.0.1 in November, I didn't have the issue at first. About 2 weeks later it appeared. It has not gotten any worse, but their "repair" did nothing to fix it at all. And they did not include a note with any explanation, nor did they include the note I was promised explaining what they did do to the phone.
I am not comfortable with rooting my phone (I don't want to lose the warranty and I don't know what I'm doing). I don't think it should be necessary to root a phone to fix an issue like this. The company should either be able to fix it or replace the phone. I refuse to accept their (most recent) explanation that it is "normal", as I've never seen it on another phone and the first 3 agents I discussed it with agreed that it was indeed an issue and offered to start an RMA for it.
Yesterday I called them again to complain about the situation. The agent said she was "escalating" (I always groan when agents say this because it ends up being meaningless) the case and that I would hear back from administration after they hear back from tech support---which could take up to 2 weeks, believe it or not. I can live with the glitch, but when I decide to sell the phone eventually I'm concerned it will potentially kill the sale or encourage someone to offer less than the phone is worth.

I have re-set it several times since encountering the issue with no success. I am not comfortable rooting the phone. I am trying to get a new RMA started, and in the meantime I'm hoping Nougat is released OTA soon and that it will help.
The reason for my original post was mainly to see how many other 5x owners have encountered the same issue. I want to know if this in an inherent problem with the phone, if the Marshmallow upgrade may have caused it (it didn't appear on my phone right away after upgrading to Marshmallow, but it did appear about 2 weeks afterwards).

Thanks for the reply. Supposedly they already did release Nougat a few months ago but there were issues with it and they halted it. They keep telling me they will be releasing it again. So who knows?
I already did send it in to them for repair of two issues, this one and another. They fixed the other issue and sent the phone back to me with no explanation. I'm trying to get another RMA started and this time I will right on top of them about this. Unfortunately they make it impossible to communicate directly with their service center and I was told the service center is very slow returning communications to the administration or CS.

I'm not confused. It's what 2 different CSRs told me.
But that isn't why I made this post, and it's off-topic. There is only one point: Do you own an Honor 5X, and if so, do you have the same ghosting problem on dark screens that I have? I would love to get some responses from 5x owners. I have tried uploading pictures of it onto here, but am not able to. But this is a very obvious thing on my phone so you wouldn't need pictures if it occurs on your phone. You would know.
