SMS

I love this rom !!!

But I really need some help ... Please...

SMS - not working. for me (orenge - romania).

To test the above problem and to clarify if there is a problem from my network operator or PixelExperience, I flashed the ugly ROM MIUI Dev (12/27/2018) and updated last night to last dev build (09-01-2019).
Unfortunately, SMSs work with MIUI ...
On MIUI: * # * # 4636 # * # * - works correctly, and displays my SMSC number at refresh. (I also managed to see the number from SMSC in Havoc build 4, after I moved the SIM into Slot 1 but the SMSs were still not going to the destination. In Slot 1 I usually have SDCARD...)

I just flashed the latest version of Pixel and I have the same problem: SMS does not leave. I can receive, but I can not send.
I've already tried other apps: Textra and SMS Messeging(AOSP)

I have attached a logcat of sms sending time.

Can someone help me ...

thank you

PS.
Before installing MIUI, I tested with Arrow build 13 (10-01-2019) and Havoc OS build 4, clean flash (format: vendor, date, system, cash, dalvik, all...) and the problem persisted ...

I don't know what the issue is but it sounds similar to what I experienced on one of the other pie ROMs.
MMS working fine prior to upgrade but couldn't get it work on Pie.
It's almost like the phone isnt reading the APN type correctly.
Google Messages app was reporting the service as not available on the network, which is obviously incorrect, as it works perfectly again after rolling back to the previous ROM.

Ok..

Strange...
I've managed to solve SMS sending by changing to "Settings-> Network & Internet-> Mobile network-> Preffered network type" in anything that does not contain LTE ...
As soon as the network type contains LTE, SMS does not work ... Unfortunately, I think changing the setting means I can not use VoLTE anymore ...

Okay so have been using this rom for a lot of time.
Here are few bugs I am facing.
1. Kernel auditor, gain sets back to 12 even after enabling the script, after every reboot.
2. I used H/W mido module from magisk to disable HW keys, so after that I am receiving -"there is an internal problem with your device. contact your manufacturer for details" after every reboot.
3. There is safety net failing in magisk, so for making ctsprofile true I used, patcher and after that, safety net is passed but root is removed automatically and even after flasking magisk zip so manytimes root is not getting enabled.
(*In havoc it was working properly)

These are few issues which is not getting resolved, even after many attempts.
Overall best stable rom, first preference after HAVOC OS.

I had that problem too with Pixel Experience on Oreo as well as Pie. I'm in Canada with Virgin Mobile. You can still use LTE for data, try unchecking "use enhanced LTE for voice calls". You won't be able to use volte but at least you can still use LTE data.

Hello!

Yes I know...
But I really want to use VoLTE.
Anyway, meanwhile, I falshed Havoc OS.
The problem, unfortunately, is the same.
Probably the Orange Romania network operator uses network switching to sending SMS and not sending them all over LTE ...
I can send SMS messages if VoLTE is active to another phone number that uses VoLTE.
Is this probably possible due to RCS ...?

Hey guys! I was busy with my end semester exams till yesterday so couldn't do much(probably none). So I've gone through most of your issues.
For people facing network issues with SMS/MMS, you didn't have this issue with MIUI right?
And it has Treble enabled(thanks to Hard_Rock83 bro)!
Just to be on a safer side, be on the latest dev firmware. You can get it from the update file manually for the time being.

As for the internal error issue, I'll need some time identifying it, for now to pass CTS profile, please use the "MagiskHide Props Config" module. And avoid using any module that affects the system.

Also please be aware that, I'm currently not planning to make it official.

Next update will be available soon (Using latest codes from Hard_Rock83)

I forgot to post an update on my MMS issue.

Don't waste any time looking into it as it turned out to be a service provider issue. I just hadn't noticed it until Pie.

Well done on completing your exams and looking forward to trying out the next build.
