i installed some programs the htc today menu, and slick. now my phone will not turn on. i backed up my phone and did a hard reset then i reinstalled all of my programs.
then when i turn off the phone i can not turn it back on again. it is a cycle and i am assuming it is because of the programs on my phone. what can i do?
also i have a very important number stored on my phone and not onto my sim, i dialed it once but the other person did not pick up. is there a way i can retreive that number? AT&T support says they can not give me any info

Hard Reset.
Install one program and see if you can turn it off and back on. Continue until you find the program that is causing you problems. Once it doesn't turn back on then you know it was the last program you installed.
As for the phone number. Have you logged into your Online Account Manager and checked to see of the number you called is showing yet (Not sure if it logs when a call is not completed - Did voicemail pick up or did you hang up during the ringing?):

Hi all,
When I receive a call I don't see a name with the number, although the name is in my contacts!
I tried several things, I removed all duplicates, reinstalled everything after hard reset and reinstalled backup, but not working.
Who can help me out?
do you have contacts stored in the SIM card?
No, my sim is empty!
i used to get the same problem when i had my contacts saved on both the SIM and the device
I used to suffer from that when I was using the T-mobile ROM!
There was a process "filesys.exe" that was taking up to 99% of CPU time, which prevents the PHONE application from searching the contacts & matching the calling number with the name! :roll:
And how do I stop the process? Where can I even see what process is going on?
you can run a program called Super Tasks that shows you the CPU usage of every running process.

you can work on the trial & see if any process is taking up the whole CPU time.
For me, I solved this issue by doing a hard reset! It was really something weird! :?
I guys;
Rogers Network Canada
Recently my cell phone started to act weird. First dialling is taking about 30 to 45 seconds before connecting with the other line now all my calls are been redirected to my voice mail. No ring no vibe straight to the mailbox!
I was trying to see if it’s something I did by accident in the phone by going to phone settings , services
Call barring (can’t get access to it)
message- cannot read settings from network. Try viewing settings letter or disconnect data connection and try again.
before I was able to access it not sure if it may be a hardware problem now
Caller ID (can’t get access) same message
Call forwarding (can’t get access) same message
I can only access Call waiting and Voice mail and Tex Messages.
I soft reset the phone no luck then hard reset no luck either flashed new room and nothing!! I don’t know what else to do. Call Customer support and he asked me to try my sim card in another phone and it worked just fine. I switched my wife’s sim card in my phone and same problem her calls go straight to the mail box!
Any help will be very appreciate
any tool or software to fix the problem?
So I have had my Captivate for a little over a month now and I have the basic mods done to it, rooted and sideloading enabled and have used everything on the phone with no problems up until now. A few days ago I installed anycut and was messing with the settings and set it to gsm only and tried some other things with no success. It seems that maybe a day after that all my texts were failing to send, however I can still receive text messages. My data still works, phone switches from edge to 3g with no problem, everything works, I just cant send texts now. I have done EVERYTHING that i can think of to try to solve the problem by resetting the phone, tried reverting to a backup taken by titanium backup, reverted to a complete rom backup, even completely loaded the phone back to stock non rooted/sideloaded and none of those things fixed the problem. is there some setting somewhere that I can check/verify that might affect me being able to send text?
LOL i did the same mistake and did the same thing you did to try to fix it.
I figured out that i deleted the sms center number so i could receive texts but not send(not good when your girlfriend is having a breakdown btw). So nerdy me went into the secret phone settings(service menu's) to put back in the sms center and kept getting an error.
Baffled I called att and had a facepalm moment when they told me to go to the stock messaging app and go to settings and input the sms center number from there.
Short Version: Open Stock Messaging app -> Settings -> message center option input +13123149810
Im gonna go look for the other number if that one doesn't work
Edit: Try this one if the other doesn't work +19703769301
Wow thanks! that fixed it. Man what a dumb move on my part.
*82
My messages where also failing sporadically. I checked for the call center number and I did have it. It turns out my problem was because I was using *82 in the contact phone number.
I hid my number from being displayed to others by going to home - settings - call settings - all calls - show my number - hide. And I added *82 in front of just family member phone numbers. But sms / texting was incompatible with *82. So I changed the family mobile phone numbers to ###-###-#### and added a second phone number with *821-###-###-####.
I use my cell phone for business and personal use so that is why I have it configured this way.
My Droid 4 crashed on me and when I rebooted it and went to my text messages I received an empty screen with the simple message of "No text messages". The phone deleted ALL of my messages, even my locked/ protected ones, which I NEED. I'm using stock messaging and so far, none of those so called text recovery programs have worked. They don't seem to be able to find the deleted text messages. I've tried contacting Motorola customer service (twice, actually) and they're telling me there is nothing they can do, that once they're deleted, they're gone forever. Which is bull. I know they're stored in there until they're over written and I've had my phone either off or in airplane mode. I should also mention that I do have Backup Assistant plus and it was activated... but after the crash, the shortcut to it in my apps has vanished. The only way I could find it was going in through files and when I tried to connect to it it told me it was unable to. That was the first thing I tried when I saw the missing texts. I tried the next day to connect again, it gave me the same message, tried it again later and it finally connected... only to have reset itself. It was as if I had never used it before, and I have. So, I have no backup and no messages. I'm beyond furious at this point. Does anyone know where the files are stored and can they give me step by step instructions on how to get there so I can get back my locked texts? I don't even care about the other ones, it's the LOCKED ones I need. They were locked for a reason, after all. I've also read that some of the Android phones have a history option when it comes to texts. I would love to know how to access that on the Droid 4, although, something tells me the Droid 4 doesn't have one of those.
To recap:
1) Can anyone give me instructions on going through my phone's files?
2) Is there a history mode on the Droid 4?
3) How do I use that history mode (assuming question two is a "yes")?
4)Any other possible ways of retrieving this data?
5)Does anyone know where on the phone the files are stored?
Edit: I've just attempted to go to android.com/devicemanager to see if there was something I can do from there, but it won't log me in. It just keeps asking for my password.
Hello, everyone.
I need help with an issue I'm facing. My phone is not receiving any calls whatsoever and I don't know why. I can make calls without any problems, the issue is that I can't receive them.
I don't know when this started happening since I don't receive many calls, I don't know if it's a result of rooting the phone, because it's rooted, or what else can it be. I don't remember if the phone received calls before or immediately after being rooted.
I've tried flashing different modems but I haven't been successful. Also, I have gone through the settings and disabled everything that could be causing the calls to be blocked. I have also called T-Mobile and they disconnected and reconnected my phone to the network and I have gone to one store to have the sim card replaced and that didn't help either. I have wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache and nothing. The only option left that I know is to factory reset the phone wich I'm trying to avoid because I have a ton of apps and my home screens are already setup and folders created and I don't want to do all this setup again.
Here is the weird part. Under just this specific scenario I can make my phone receive calls.
Make a call to any phone
Hangup a couple of seconds after the other phone starts ringing.
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the call is terminated (lost) dial from the other phone (the one that was called in step 1). This should be within one second and no more after the call is lost.
If I follow this procedure then the call goes through and my note 4 receives it, but the call shall be made immediately after I hang up, otherwise it doesn't go through.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be happening?
Thanks!!
try this, go to settings all the down to calls and click on call rejection which says auto rejection turn that to off, ive had the Same problem and thats what help me out
