[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
I have searched this over and cannot find a solution to the issue. I have had my GS3 for a number of months now. Just recently, I could no longer receive SMS messages. MMS works ok. I called ATT, they blamed the phone since it wasnt one of theirs. I just hung up with them, as they're no help anyway. I went to the ATT store and one of the guys there took my SIM card out and put it in another phone. All of my messages immediately downloaded to the other phone. We took the SIM out and put it back in my GS3, and everything worked normal again. One week later, it's doing the exact same thing. I don't have another phone to put my SIM into, and I sure don't want to keep going back to the ATT store each week to dump my SMS messages. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it.

Does ANYONE have any suggestions as to why this is suddenly happening?

I am stock everything.

Can you make phone calls without problems?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
Yeah, no problems making phone calls. I will say that the other thing that happens quite often is that my phone will make no noise on incoming calls or SMS messages. Someone can send me a message or call, and I'll be sitting right there with the device in hand, and it won't make a noise to let me know.

I am still awaiting my Jelly Bean update. Hopefully that will clear up most of it. It seems these problems began when it updated to 4.0.4.

But the SMS problem SUCKS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
On another note, if the Jelly Bean update doesn't fix these issues, I will be trading my I9300 for a Nokia 920 quicker than you can shake a stick.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftSmoke:
im baffled by this problem too things I would of recommended 1st have already been checked. Have you tried a complete/fresh install?.

Seems your service centre number is correct too, have u tried changing it/deleting it, save then reenter the number again?

also found this page for ATT service centre numbers maybe theres more than 1 for your area?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
Yup. Wiped and reinstalled at the advice of ATT. No help. I am not the only one with this problem if you Google it. But there are no answers for the problem. I'm beside myself.

Can not receive SMS. (Permanent SMSC FIX)

Ok sorry for lasting so long. :(

Look at this and try. Maybe this is your problem. Had solved my problem. After flashing a new Rom.

If you have problems as described in first post and your smsc number is showing the right thing so also do this steps.

1. Find out the right SMSC (Short Messenger Service Central) number of your provider (for example O2 Germany is: +491760000443)

2.0 Then you have to translate/calculate it

at this site:

http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode

2.1 Type at SMSC your sms-provider-number (Example: +49xxxxx)

2.2 Delete Receiver and the small text under it

2.3 Click on Convert

3. A number appears at the right side, write it on a paper or copy it

4. Open Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*

5. Click phone data and scroll down to SMSC

6. Then paste or write the number from 3.

7. Click actualize, update or something similar

8. Wait till your network is online again and then click refresh (about 5 seconds)

9. If your entered number still appears everything is working fine.

Sample for O2 Germany

(+49 is Germany replace it with the one from your country)

[SMSC] number is: +491760000443

[Calculated] number is: 0791947106004034110000910000AA00

[Showed] number after update is: 0791947106004034

(You have to cut "AT+CMGW=8")

Hope I could help some one with this.

Anybody else know anything about this? It's doing it again. I cleared my messages on my wifes phone last Friday. It almost made it a week.

UUK said he knew of an answer and would post it when he got back to his computer, but he must be aboard the ISS or something. I can't contact him.

It's driving me crazy, not to mention I miss important SMS messages.

Have you tried flashing a new modem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
After Googling the problem, I am not the only one having this issue. It is happening all over. But I cannot seem to find an answer to it. I have contacted Samsung who was absolutely NO help, and ATT, who have created a ticket to try and help solve the issue. They even acknowledge it seems to be a much larger issue than just my device.

In the meantime, I will keep my eyes peeled here if anyone has any insight. I shouldn't have to flash anything as the device is entirely stock.

However, I think I have narrowed it down to the latest 4.0.4 update. It didn't do it before I got the update.

I will keep checking in here regularly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihil sleighride:
My s3 suddenly stopped receiving SMS after flashing 4.1.2 Supernexus also tried Dark paranoid android and same issue. Prior to that 4.1.1 B1ackB3an all was great. On Vodafone UK and the SMSSC was correct, sending SMS was fine and if I'd SMS myself it came through straight away. Occasionally SMS were received early morning but nothing all day until sometimes they came through when I walked back into the house after work and it connected to the wifi. I cleared cache and fixed permissions and even when rolling back to 4.1.1 it still persisted. Unrooted and returned to stock lastest Samsung/Vodafone firmware last night and seems ok, will see how it goes over the weekend.

Happened to me before I rooted and if you search is a common problem unrelated to rooting. Mine just started up again after a couple of days (voda uk, 4.0.4)

I am hoping when I get the JB update, it will take care of itself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihil sleighride:
Seems so from looking on Vodafone forum. I'd just assumed that it was due my switching ROM's as everything had been fine since I first rooted in August. Just coincidence that it started at the same time I switched. Did wonder if it was an S3 and a carrier thing as my wife's iPhone 4s also on Vodafone as been fine throughout.

Hope it does for you, as it is so frustrating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
Yes. One thing I've noticed from Googling is that it is not carrier dependent. Interesting that rooted devices with different ROMs are experiencing the same issue. As previously stated, my device is 100% stock, not rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahmon:
Damn, it's doing it again. It didn't last but about 4 days this time. It worked this morning, but not tonight.

I had the same problem as you have.

Can send sms but can't receive sms.

After this tutorial I was able to do both.

Strange *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work anymore for me after updating to jellybean.

If this is not working for you maybe your phone has a damage. Send it to Samsung for a repair cause your SIM card is working in another phone.

If the microSD is not being read, put it in a BlackBerry. The Blackberry should ask you to format the card so it will be usable.

Ok so im rooted and was running freezas stock jb lj7.. and was flashing another rom like I always do.. but for some reason I wiped my internal sd. With I lost all my titanium backups witch are no big deal.. but noticed I can get into my twrp recovery unless I hit the home button along with power and up.. my ms in worry is if I need any of the files I put on there during rooting.. just curious.. i dont know what possed me to wipe it..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Asyn:
I'm coming from a Galaxy S 4G I had loaded roms on all the time to an Infuse. I originally tried a heimdall one click that borked half way through. Now the phone won't cut on, but I can still get to download mode.

The problem now is I can't get ODIN to get to pass "Get PIT for mapping..." I got the package from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705260 which includes the PIT file, but even putting the files in the right slots on ODIN it gets to the same point and hangs indefinitely.

Like I've said, I've done roms in the past and I've bricked and unbricked my old Galaxy S 4G a number of times, but this has got me stumped. I'm looking for suggestions and/or tips.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Asyn:
A little more info: Coming from stock Froyo 2.2.1. ODIN messages up until it hangs:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> PDA_UCLB3_root.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> PHONE_UCLB3.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

So obviously it tries to reset the PIT but when it calls back to it, nothing... The phone also responds to setting the PIT with a small fragment of the progress bar showing up but that's it.

Hey,

I hope anyone can give me an advice for my 'problem. It is the first time for me rooting my device... but I want CM 10^^

I have used unlockroot to root my device (http://www.unlockroot.com/). Then I installed the ROM Manager. Flashed Clockworkmod..Then I tried to make a backup.. Somehow the ROM Manager makes the backup of my system on the internal SD card into the folder 'clockworkmod -->backup' and not on my 16GB external SD Card.

Question:

1) Shouldn't clockworkmod be on my external SD-Card?

2) If I wipe everything before I install a new ROM. Will I loose my backup?

3) Should I care that the backup is on my internal SD?

Thanks for any help!!!:D

Here is what Clockworkmod shows me, when doing a backup:

ClockworkMod Recovery c5.0.2.0

Here are te steps I have taken:

1.) Install drivers ( I am on v20Q stock ROM)

2.) Root mit unlockroot

3.) Update SuperUser

4.) Download ROM Manager

5.) Flash Clockworkmod

5) Backup with ROM Manager
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
1) Go here, install the external version of 5.0.2.8, problem solved.

2 & 3) No, wiping does not touch the internal sd-card. However, some other procedures do, like smartflash, so it's best to have the backups on the external card.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kinimod01:
Thanks! wow, that was fast!

I am a noob. Therefore my question: How do I install the new clockworkmod? Do I push "Install ROM from SD Card" in ROM Manager and then choose the .zip file? Should I do any wipe before?

Thx!!!!

by the way: I do not care if my backup is on my internal SD or external. So do I need to have the backup on my external SD if I install a new ROM? (I mean I can make a copy of the backup on my PC...)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Just dowload the archive in thread I linked to, unpack it, connect your phone (debugging enabled) and run the external .bat-file. That's it.

No, you don't need to have the backups on your external.
