Hi guys,
New here as I just got a Diamond this week. All good until last night/today where all of a sudden I can no longer use the SMS function.
I think it all started last night. Strange thing happened when I got home from work and I plugged it into my PC to sync. At first it said it was unable to connect, so I tried disconnecting and reconnecting a couple times, still no connection. So I tried turning the phone off and back on, then reconnecting and this time it connected ok and synched up.
However, when I checked my phone after synching, it had somehow lost all of my favourite contacts list (although all my contacts were still there, thankfully) and even more worryingly, had deleted all of my SMS messages. Luckily I've only had the phone a few days so didn't lose any important messages.
At first I thought it had somehow hard reset itself because it has already done this once before, but all the other settings were still in place. Just my SMS messages and favourite contacts lise were lost.
That in itself wasn't too big a deal, but today it seems to have got worse. I recieved an SMS this morning, but I'm unable to open it (can read it in the preview), nor can I open the 'all messages' option. Even worse I can't write new messages. When I press on any of the options on the SMS front screen, nothing happens.
Also, several of the apps I've installed no longer run, they display the error "The file 'AdvancedConfig' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". That example is for Advanced Config. I also have Diamond Tweak and Diamond TF3D Config installed and they have the same problem now, too.
Up unil last night, everything was fine, I had turned on some of the tweaks within the above config tools (the battery life and performance tweaks mainly), but last night it all seems to have fallen apart.
I've tried soft resetting, uninstalling and reinstalling the Tweak apps above, all to no avail, so before I do a hard reset, I thought I'd see if any of you guys had any suggestions (as you seem to be a knowledgable lot ).
Thanks in advance.

I have flashed this rom onto my phone twice, both times working fine for maybe 3-4 days, after which the messaging fails to initiate when I attempt to open it. Not only do I not receive email or text, but I cannot even open the app to read any messages already there. The first time I thought I might have messed something up, but it happened again when I wasn't even using my phone. I've tried soft resetting to no avail. I don't want to hard reset every time this happens, for obvious reasons. Can this be corrected in the registry? I don't understand why this is happening, but any help is very much appreciated.
Whenever I had problems with the Messaging app not opening, it was because I was saving attachments to the Storage Card, and somehow, the card became corrupted. Once I stopped doing that, I didn't have any more issues.
For what it's worth, the problems with the storage card getting corrupted stopped when I stopped syncing the phone via USB and went Bluetooth/OTA only.
yes
im having the same thing happen.. any update?
How about you say which rom you are using .... That info would be greatly helpful in your question. There are many touch it roms.
Evening all.
I've encountered a strange problem with my Vario III this evening, having installed iGo on my phone. Basically, if I put TTN6 on, the sound is a lot quieter than normal, and I can't change it. I've uninstalled iGo, but it hasn't sorted out the sound on TTN6. I've had this happen before, when I installed Skype on my phone...same thing...TTN6 loses volume (not totally, but noticeably). Uninstalling Skype sorted that out. However, this time I haven't been able to fix it by uninstalling the program. I'm using the original T-Mobile rom. I've removed two registry entries I could find for iGo, but it still hasn't solved the issue. Any help would be appreciated, as I prefer TTN6 to iGo.
One more thing - how do I get the annoying error message that keeps popping up now that I've uninstalled RSShub? (says something about being unable to execute windows\rsshubwakeup.exe).
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Tried reinstalling TTN6, but to no avail. Still very quiet compared to how it usually is. I would assume it's a driver issue, but have no clue where to start looking. Another thing I've noticed is since installing iGo, my battery consumption has gone through the roof. Just now, my battery usage went up to 1400mWs for no reason other than to send an SMS. I have no other processes running. Before I put iGo on there, my phone rarely went above 400mWs, and idled at around 93mWs...it's now idling at 250mWs.
Don't worry about it. Hard reset my phone this morning and spent the rest of the day reinstalling everything. Not finished yet, either.
I'm using the HTC Diamond.
Today I received an sms and I couldn't get into the message to read it, so I decided to turn off my phone, and turn it back on again – I did the soft reset (pressing the power button on the top of the phone and not the instant soft reset button). I have done this before and it worked after that.
However, after I turned on the phone again today, the smses I received and sent since 23/07/2009 have disappeared.
I also checked the most recent call history and it's there – so it's not as if the phone decided to backdate itself.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to retrieve those missing smses (at least the ones I received) if I could. Is there a particular directory that the phone stores these smses?
Help would be much appreciated!
If you receive an SMS and soft reset the phone, the new SMS gets lost. You have to wait a few minutes (or hours?) to get it actually saved to the device. I believe it is due to some caching mechanism that the new mesages are not written to storage immediately. This is a poor design decision but we have to live with it.
As for losing older sms' I don't know what could be the problem. Maybe you restarted the device just in the instant it was flushing the cache to the storage and the data got corrupted?
I hope someone can help me with this before I go stark, raving mad.
I tried to search for this problem but it's hard to know just what to search for. I don't think this is Raphael specific but was unable to find a general software forum.
When an alarm or reminder goes off on my Fuze, I don't (usually) get the normal popup dialog. To get it, I need to tap on two tiny icons, which is a major pain. I've been fighting this for months. I've tried a hard reset followed by installing my software a programs one at a time with an alarm test after each install. I've tried restoring several old backups. I've still been unsuccessful in tracking it down.
After a hard reset, it works like it's supposed to, but as I continue to install software and use the device, it eventually stops working.
Can anyone give me a hint as to where I might be able to begin looking?
Thank you in advance!
Not a single reply. :-( Am I really the only person who has experienced this?
I've been fighting with this problem for literally months. I just recently went through several hard resets and restores, trying to find some specific application or condition that causes the problem. It started happening again a couple of days ago, and I'm absolutely sure that this time I had not installed any new applications. The only change from the time that reminders were working properly to the time that they stopped working was that I had downloaded some applications data (email, etc.).
If anybody has any ideas at all, I will be forever indebted.
Thanks,
Keith
I have the same problem, I think. I will go into my settings and tell it to give me pop ups for new SMS, MMS, notifications/reminders, and then they stop happening and I go back into settings and have to recheck the boxes. I'm not sure what's causing them to quit though. I just flashed a cooked ROM to my phone, but I don't like it so I'm trying to find something new. The problem was on the factory ROM that came with my phone.
I have the same issue, im using the ROMeOS 6.5 ROM and i dont get notification too...
gonna try and fiddle around the advanced config app
So this morning when i got up to get to work, i looked at my SGS, checked the gold prices app, stuck it in my pocket, then went to work.
at about 3pm i took out my phone to fiddle with it for a bit, and it was at the initial setup screen, the series of promts you get when you first switch on the phone after unboxing it... i skipped through and found that all my settings were gone, and all my contacts were gone, except for the stock crap that comes with the simcard.. my history was gone, but some of my SMS's had survived.
None of the applications were gone however the menus had been re-arranged, and several of the apps froze immidiately when they were opened; it seems all settings within the applications have been erased as well.
The applications that did not open, i deleted then re-installed from the market, and the fresh downloads seem to work.
I have managed to scrape ~15 contacts from the few sms's that are in the history, but this is well short of the ~400 i have lost. I would be able to get more back if i could sync it with facebook, which isnt working (says "sync is down"). I stupidly dont have anything backed up on my computer, and an old (januaryish) backup of my contacts on my dads computer i couldnt find the file for.. (probably deleted). The reason i didnt do a backup is because i didnt expect this to happen, i dont mod the phone or do any dodgey downloading that would cause such a crash.
I have no definate idea what could have caused this, as the phone was running totally without issue for ages, and had no major setting changes or application installs for weeks before today. I know it happened today, because in the morning i checked the goldprices app, which worked fine, and after the crash that was one of the applications that didnt work. Meaning it happened between 9am and 3pm. During this whole time the phone was in my pocket, it had no impacts, and i was not near any machinery that might emit strong heat/magnetic fields all day. My only suspiction, is that i was given an iphone for the day, which i stuck in the same pocket.. and maybe the added magnetic field / radio signal could have stuffed the SGS up.
This really is a bad thing for me, so if anyone has any ideas on how i could get my contacts back i would definately appreciate it.. I thought about putting in a complaint to samsung but ive known for a while that they dont care about their own customers..
hey bro which rom where u using??
they should automatically sync with google, unless you unchecked the option.
check under settings options in contacts and see if there is a way to restore them, i know there is but its been so long since i have been on a stock samsung rom i cant remember...
Hi mate, i flashed a kernel to it weeks ago and thats about it, thisi s what it says in settings/about phone
firmware version: 2.2
baseband version: i9000DTJP3
kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #22
build number: FROYO.DTJP5
cheers
I need to bump this up because this has happened to me AGAIN
This time there was no iphone, the phone coincodentally was sitting in front of me and i watched it reset itself, when it booted up it was in the initial setup screen, after which i got force close errors for facebook and gmail.
It appears this time that my contacts and messages and apps, and data, and settings... did not get lost, however MOST of the applications, including the stock ones and autostart ones, give Force close errors, including the force close errors i get on startup from the stock gmail app and the facebook for android app.
last time i did not remedy this, i scavenged what data i could, and deleted/re-downloaded the applications that didnt work, note; this didnt work for all of them.
I cant however delete the stock gmail app and i would rather treat the source of this issue than its symptoms.
Have already tried: factory reset/data wipe from CWM recovery boot
cache partition wipe
fix permissions
went to attatch it to kies to see if updating the firmware would work, but clicking 'update' i get a strange error in a non-english language, and the update does not perform.
Although now i cant even get it to connect to kies..
