Please help

I have the newest firmware update and I just started having issues with messaging. When I use the stock messaging app If I try to attach a photo I get a force close message. When I receive one It will not download. I have used the google messenger and I cannot receive or send it just says it cant send and cant download. Then in hangouts is I use sms I can send and receive in a group message which I have mms turned on for so group mms works fine if I send a photo is goes through but says "Cannot be store" but I also am unable to download incoming photos. I did a factory restore and that actually made my led star working it used to only work for calls. But im still having the same problem Ive been through the prl and profile update I'm at a loss here and dont know what to do. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated,

Try wiping out your external sdcard. My wife had an issue where her images were being duplicated by the thousands and was killing space. The lack of space resulted in force closes and the entire phone becoming unstable. What made it even more strange was that these "duplicated" images were nowhere to be found on either her internal or external after viewing all the folders with ES File Explorer and most of the duplicates showed up in the gallery as blank images. Her external sdcard had stuff on it from her other phones and I believe it caused conflicts on the Sharp device. I pulled everything from her sdcard onto my laptop then placed her sdcard into my HTC One SV and used aparted (root required) to wipe and reformat the entire sdcard to fat32. She hasn't had an issue since. I told her to not put the stuff back onto her sdcard except for small stuff like pictures, and music. Anything else was to be left alone since we couldn't narrow down the exact culprit.

I'm having the same problem! No SD card for me.

I will try this tonight that sounds logical my phone is doing the same by duplicating pictures in my music app sometimes it shows doubles as well. Thank you I'll post later if it helps or not. What if I used the SD card slot on my pc and formatted it using command prompt do you think it would work the same?

I do not see why it wouldn't. Aparted is an app you can get from the playstore. Though, some people will be confused when they try to use it given it's gui layout. If you can do it via command-line then kudos for you. Aparted just makes it possible to do it on the phone with root and attempt to make it easier and more friendly. Which it is once you familiarize yourself with it lol. Good luck

When I first had this problem I reset the device twice and used the original sim card that came with the phone. I know it has to be some app not playing nice but I can't find out which one.

well if it's a user app then start deleting them one at a time until the problem stops. If it's a system app then there isn't much you can do at this point since the device is still somewhat locked down.

same issue..recent
Used to work fine..now cant recieve mms...

I was having the same problem also in figured out how to fix it. Go to your dial pad and press ##72786# then press ok. The phone will restart and then take a few minutes to provision your data services. This will not reset any data on your phone but just re-provision the data services on the phone. Somehow the APN settings must have got messed up on our phones when one of the messaging app updates happened. Good luck!

the workaround is to change the lockscreen to 'none' then power the phone off and back on, then put your lock screen back on, weird workaround but it works

I have been having the same issue and tried both methods discussed to no avail. After resetting the provisioning, now I get an error when sending MMS that states "Device not programmed, please wait." I updated both PRL and profile without error and I am now able to place and receive calls and texts and have 3G and 4G data but still cannot send MMS. I really don't want to call customer service. I also cannot roll back messaging app to previous version. I guess another factory reset is in my future.

When you get this error goto settings and click activate this device. This will did your problem..... Unfortunately the workaround I stayed earlier only seems to work until you restart. You then have to do the steps over again.

The only thing that fixes it, and temporarily I might add, is a reset via recovery. My fiancee and I both have had issues with this since we got the phone a little over a month ago. We also lose 4G LTE, continuously dropping to 3G, though we're in a massively covered tri-band 4G LTE area (or so says the networking team at Sprint, who, to get them on the phone, I had to throw out quite a few disparaging tweets and messages to on Twitter and the Sprint forums.) It's a bunch of crap, this phone. My advice: Reset the provisioning, then reset the entire device. It'll work, just try not to reboot the damn thing or you'll have to do it all over again.

I apologize for not posting the update on my findings. I discovered what my issue is, is that I had bluebox launching on startup which was causing the provisioning after reboot failing. So I uninstalled that app and rebooted, the provisioning completed without error and the issue was corrected. I did not have to perform a factory reset to correct it. Thank you all for your input and timely responses.

open channel for BIP

I keep getting this annoying message from time to time on top of everything else.
Does anybody know what the hell it is?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) using stock v6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware

Barrier Independent Protocol, relative new high speed channel for moving data between a BIP server and a storage device (like the SD card in a phone).
That said I have no idea why you are getting the message or how to make it stop.
Sorry

Maybe a bug in these initial firmware version... hmmm... anybody else that can think about something else?

It comes out now and then, but I noticed that it is always related to app bugs and if I write to the author it gets sorted.

Thank you alot , i recently changed my Sim card and that actually worked :laugh:

how do i get the bip channel off my phone cause my phone wont work

After setting up a brand new J7 and moving my apps over using Smart Switch app I had the same problem. The problem was the Smart Switch app didn't properly transfer over a couple of the apps. The background processes made their way over to the new phone but the app icons did not appear anywhere. The fix I did was to uninstall those "ghost" apps and then reinstall them. That resolved the problem. There were other quirky problems with other installed programs - all resolved by running updates on all Apps as well - all caused apparently because of differences between my old apps OS and my new phone's OS and the inability of Smart Switch to deal with those differences.

text messaging issue after update to Nougat

I updated to Nougat on my verizon s7. I rooted me device as well. For some reason the default text messaging app is saving my messages to the sim card automatically. I looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix for this. Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this. I really dont want to factory reset my phone. Even if i use a 3rd party app it still comes up. Any info would be helpful thank you in advance

Is your phone memory full? Reading about this problem seems to point to that. I know the SMS file itself with just simple sentences shouldn't take up much space but if your phone's memory is full then it may be trying to save it to the SIM card itself.
Edit:
Just found another possible solution, if the phone has been dropped or experienced some form of shock then it may have knocked the SIM card around. The solution is to power down the phone and remove the SIM. Give it a wipe down and reinsert.
Hopefully one of these solutions works.

S8/S8+ Oreo Beta is live!!!

There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:

I'm in feelsgood.jpg

Can someone post the OTA? OR Odin flashable files if there is any way to get them?

I don't see it. Any way to force it?

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.

I would love to get my hands on the radio and at least flash the modem. Would that work?

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

What about the basic stuff like: adb logcat > file.txt
Then check for updates, extract the url and manually download the OTA?

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.

Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile S8+ in US.

It's not about "showing" it to you. They're pushing it to almost everyone. I spoke with 3 other guys who signed up and registered through the Samsung app and it pushed it on the next update.

So you see, I don't think my Samsung account is registered to their Beta program. I have never seen links to do so.

I guess as a small consolation, Samsung/TMo pushed a Nougat update out: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/TMB/download/G955USQU1AQJ8/193749/

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.

Official OREO has rolled out

I received an OTA as well. 1407.35MBs. Still downloading!

Mine still says software up to date. I hate att.

Use BK Disabler and clear the data for Software Update. You should be able to check again. I believe you can only check once every 24 hours or so. Good Luck.

I just used Odin to go back to nougat and as soon as I could get to my settings I was able to get the OTA.

Easiest way to keep checking is to advance your phone's clock ahead one day then try again. Just remember to turn the auto clock detection setting back on.

Mine did that as well for months. My last update was when I bought the phone back in Nov. I did the update.zip method and used Smart Switch to backup all to MicroSD card.

Received this update today without needing to change the date. Running nicely so far, just wish the gif keyboard wasn't removed for us.

I have it on mine as you can see in this screenshot. When I heard the update was coming today, I factory reset before I took it. When it booted up, it updated during the setup process.
Edit: wait, are we talking about the same thing? Do you mean the feature where you can draw a gif message?

Not the live message, I have that. There is a gif option on the keyboard from other carriers. For some reason AT&T left it out.

In developers options there is the ability to change Bluetooth Audio Codec to SBC (default) to Aptx, Ldac, etc. If you change that it doesnt stick and it resets itself to SBC. Bummer.
Also the only option that does seem to seem concerning Bluetooth and Developers Options is Bluetooth AVRCP Version. AVRCP 1.4 is default but changing to AVRCP 1.6 seems to stick.

Meant to post this last night. Here's screenshots of my for full use of the OTA Oreo. I'm a teacher on spring break so I messed around with it a lot yesterday getting all my settings and apps set up.

So I decided to try the Samsung Experience 9. The badge number for Gmail isn't showing the proper numbers. Anything beyond one unread email shows some stupid huge numbers, such as 4 unread email, but the badge showed 169 ... LOL So, this is still buggy.

Yeah this is the only thing about the new update that is bugging me. The badge numbers can be way off. Other than that I am really enjoying the new update and my phone is so fast now.

Don't know what's worse... badges with wrong numbers or badges that don't come on at all. I get none at all. And I even factory reset before I took the update. I got no clue, even after spending tons of time digging through settings
