Samsung Galaxy S II :: Can't Update Software Or Send Mms With Shv-120s
Oct 6, 2012
have had s2 shv-120s for 6 mths got from mobicity(aust) great phone but cant update software, only with SKT USIM ,it also has many unwanted korean apps. also cant send or receive mms, have tried many apns. am i stuck with this problem or will rooting/installing roms fix this?
I was one of the unlucky ones who got caught with the Qantus shutdown, so while I was sitting around for two days at the airpport I played with my Samsung SII I900
Some how I managed to turn something off as it was working fine just before as I sent quite a few messages out, then getting bored, I started going through the menus trying this and turning Off /On that!
I can still receive message but can not send any messages they all come up with Fail Send errors..
Just updated via Samsung Apps the camera firmware to a CDE11 or something version. Took 4 minutes to update and flash this firmware. I wonder what exactly it changed in the camera firmware? Hopefully improved things or bug fixes.I will test a few videos and see if the bitrate has changed or not.
Before this morning, every time I would try to send a picture in a text message it would just sit there, 'sending' but never send. It was the same story when someone would send me a picture. It would just sit there 'downloading' but never actually download. This morning I tried looking online for a solution and tried following the instructions I found here for the multimedia message settings. Now when I try to send a picture (or any attachment) I get a message at the bottom of my screen that reads "Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when service becomes available." The same basic thing happens when someone sends me an MMS, "Currently unable to download. Please try again later".My phone is currently connected via wifi, but I also have packet data activated and I have auto-retrieve on..what am I missing? I am new to smart phones, but this is something that was happening with my old samsung corby as well.
Just bought the sgs2 and cant seem to send videos to other mobile phones.Keep getting a message showing (Video file to large).Hmm this might be a silly question but here i go.How the heck do i shrink the file.I take it that the file is ment to be MMS? is this correct and ifso how can i change it over.I was told once that you dont need a long neck to be a goose.
Its been 4 weeks since I upgraded to SGS II,,so far so good,,have the following issues though:
1. the battery life,,I get just about 24 hrs with moderate usage,, 2. The phone gets reallly hot when the GPS or some of the games are on,,I mean reaallllyy hot. 3. I don't seem to be able to send videos via the MMS?? even a 6 second clips is rejected as (TOO long)??!! 4. If u write a text message that's too long ( more than 3 standard text messages) it converts to MMS!! Despite the above,,,I am still very happy the I left the apple world for this,,cant believe I stayed with iphone for 2 years ??!!
I have set up my gmail and NTL email through social hub as imap premium accounts and I receive all emails as "push" no problem at all, but, I cannot send any. The emails appear in my sent box but they are never received. The only way I can send emails is if I use the dedicated gmail app on the phone but I can't see how to set up my NTL mail account in that app.
Within the past couple weeks, i havent been able to send texts to one person. I'll text them and they don't get my texts until nearly a week later. I've tried soft reset, deleting messages and contact and doing a factory reset.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon. My girlfriend has an iPhone. I use the Samsung Stock Messaging App. I can see the emojis she sends, but when I try to send one, she can't receive any of the message. What can I do?
I just can't send emails with attached files. Not ir Email app not it GMAIL app. No matter the size of the file.
I go to the out tray in Email app, and displays a button: Send messages. I click it, it goes "Sending messages..." Then back to the square one. No error message, no nothing. The same with the gMAIL app just that there is no button, just stays in the out tray. However when I forward an email with attached content it would send alright, but no if I attach the file myself, or "Insert" from gallery.
Is there a way to either send an entire message thread ( sms and mms ? ) from an SII to another galaxy user so that they can see the thread in it's entiretyi.e. times/dates , sender/receiver etc , OR save the entire thread off phone to a laptop
I was able to send and receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy SII which I have had since July 2012. I am on Bell network. A Bell customer service agent told me that Bell needs to update their towers to accommodate the programs that newerSamsung phones are using.
I am trying to pair my SII to a motorola T325 speakerphone. It pairs fine but when it goes to download my phonebook it does not work. "Phonebook access request" shows up at the top of the phone screen but then nothing happens. I then attempted to put the speakerphone into manual mode and send the vCards over from the SII but when I attempt that it says ContactName.vcf not sent. I have reset the speakerphone to factory already. I have also tried deleting all pairings on the SII and re-pairing the speakerphone, nothing works. Speakerphone downloads phonebook from other phones fine. I need the contacts in this speakerphone so I know who I'm getting calls from at work.
So I live in Sweden and bough my phone in June. Had KE2 on it and wanted to update to KE7 with Kies but it wasn't available at the time, so I used a guide on this site to update it manually through odin.
Anyway after that I went away to a place with no good internet connection for 2 months and didn't really keep up to date with this site. Now I'm back home and want to root this phone to improve battery life and get the wiimote app to work.
1A. Since I updated to KE7 using Odin, and not Kies, is it dangerous to root the phone?
1B. Do I need to debrand and update through Kies if a new update is available?
2. Will the Wiimote app work if I root the phone?
3. Is there a guide to follow on what to avoid after rooting so I don't brick the phone?
Yesterday i updated my s6 to lolipop 5.1.1 and ever since then i cannot send text messages i can recieve them but i cannot send texts i am with rogers...
I have been told I can update to 2.3.4 using Kies. I have downloaded kies and updated it to the latest version but can not see where or how to update to 2.3.4?
I have visited various websites which advise on how to update by rooting the phone, but I was hoping it would be more straight forward than that.
my samsung galaxy s2 broke down on me a week ago. How this happened was that I saw the ota update being available for downloading so I proceeded to download the update. Now, when it got the update and it automatically started to install, The phones battery died (inthe middle of the installation). when i charged it up and turned it on an error message comes up after the samsung logo saying the package installer got an error and now wont let me use the phone at all ( it freezes up after the message). I tried restarting it but the same thing happened. the phone is now unusable. i visited a phone stor asking if they could repair it but no, they couldnt. what to do? send the phone in/swap it out?
After the latest gingerbread KE7 update a few days ago the option to change the messaging theme seems to have disapeared ? im sure it was in the settings menu in the sms app
Well im back again and getting kies to work is annoying, kies is up to date, i follow everything(i believe i have) to the letter to get the phone to connect and still no success.
S 2 firmware I'm looking for some help i have just had my phone replaced after it was stolen. I'm wanting to updated the firmware with Kies but it says.your current device's firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
current firmware version: PDA:LPJ / PHONE:LPJ / CSC:LPJ (XXX)
Back before this update, i blacklisted a couple numbers from calling me. Simply by long pressing contact in phonebook and choosing add to blacklist. After the update, i am unable to access the blacklist to remove these numbers so they are not able to contact me. I've tried settings>call settings and that's as far as i get since there is no rejection list or anything of the sort. I've tried deleting the contacts thinking that would fix it but no help. Did the blackest just disappear with the update? Im stuck and extremely frustrated. Will a factory reset fix this (meaning clear the blacklist ) or am i just really screwed?
Okay. I'll see if this posts. I am using Android 2.1 and AT&T told me I could "easily" upgrade to Android 4 using KEIS. I downloaded the program, updated to Version 2.3.2.12074_13. Installed okay. I connected and got the message "device not supported by KEIS 2."
PC is running Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 (64bit version) I have Kies version is 2.0.2.11071_128, The upgrade starts ok and runs until the phone displays 'Downloading...' at which point I get the message 'PC failed to recognise the mobile phone.' and says to disconnect phone, remove battery, restart phone and try again. This i have done several times but the same thing happens every time.
