Hero/Blur texting issues

Hello there,
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I am posting here because quite honestly I have NO idea where to start searching for a solution. Lately i've been experimenting with some of the Hero ports in the developer section, particularly JesterBlur and Slick Willy (and previous version). For some reason, the texting application screws up after it has been used for a little bit. The first symptoms ive noticed is the "This message cannot be sent" while having full signal and 3G, just randomly says that. Then, when the phone reboots, it sends a text message from earlier in the conversation randomly. Finally, the times are messed up and so my response to the other persons question would be above their question, as if I answered before they responded, but the times on the messages are correct...
Anyone have any clue how to fix this?? Thank you!

I cant say I know how to "FIX" your problem but in my experience with texting issues I would simply redownload the rom, not just reflash since the problem likely lies within the MMS.apk and sometimes files become corrupt during download even though you may not realize. It happens alot more than you may think.
I would suggest you do a nandroid or some other sort of backup to save your data, SMS, settings, etc. if you need to. Then I would completely delete and recreate my ext2/3 partition. This may not be necessary but the way I see it is if you are going to wipe, why not just reformat for a completely clean slate. Then reflash the ROM as usual.
Note: you do not have to delete your FAT or linux-swap partitions to delete and recreate your Ext2/3. I'm sure you know how to do your partitioning but if you need any instruction just shoot me an email. [email protected]

Froyo won't stop freezing

However ironic the title may be, I updated my fiance's non-rooted N1 to the official release froyo and from the very beginning, it will work for a few seconds, then it will just freeze for a few minutes. I have patiently gone through and stopped almost every process, and nothing will fix it. It still just freezes constantly and usually requires a battery pull to get it to work at all. I told her she could try a factory reset, but she would rather just go back to 2.1-update1. I'm going to try renaming 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip (or PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip) to update.zip and reflashing it in the stock bootloader on her phone, but I feel like that won't work because it is a previous version and not really an update. Does anyone have any advice on how to just bring her back, or perhaps how to fix her freezing problems on froyo?
Thanks

Try a fresh flash with no apps installed and see how its doing.... if it doesn't freeze then its a app probably ...

I'd like to try that, but she doesn't want to do a fresh install. I'd imagine that if an app didn't freeze 2.1, it wouldn't freeze 2.2. Besides, 2.2 freezes even after killing all applications and services.
I guess I'm really looking for advice on getting it back to 2.1 without rooting her phone.

Just do a factory reset in settings and security ... no reflash. Just cause a app didn't freeze 2?1 doesn't mean it wont freeze 2.2. And even if the apps currently not running or closed, it'll still wack ya phone. I had a freeze every hour yesterday with my chosen apps installed, flashed 3 different times to no avail. Now I factory reset with only 4 definitely needed apps installed and haven't gotten a freeze yet. So my conclusion is 2.2 doesn't like something I've installed so I'm adding a few apps every hour to fins the cause.
Since I factory reset with my few apps. I haven't had a freeze yet all night and morning long..

I'm having the same issue too. Not sure what is going on with FRF91, but my phone keeps freezing and I need to pull the battery to get it to respond again. I agree it very well could be an application, but installing every application one by one and testing would be a pain. Is there a better way to figure out what is causing the phone to lock up? Any time of log on the phone that would be helpful?

Have you tried a factory reset? That might fix it... let us know what you find. I've noticed a couple of freezes as well, but I'm not able to factory reset it just yet because I'm out of town and don't want my phone down for even half an hour.

I have to pull battery a couple of times a day.
I'm having the same issue on 2.2. I have done 2 factory resets. Nothing. N1 call center said slowly reinstall all apps to see if an app may be doing it. No luck.

Is anyone having issues with the screen still being responsive while on a call? My screen will go black but you cant still hit keys when you have up against your face.

I'm betting that you do not have a custom recovery and nandroid backup, or you wouldn't be asking.
I highly doubt that the phone will let you push the old firmware on top of the new one if you don't have a hacked recovery and a test-signed zip. But I don't know - you could try it...
Here is what I would do:
1. Install a custom recovery (like Amon-Ra 1.7.0.1), either by unlocking the bootloader, or by following the directions in the dev forum for doing this without unlocking if you have the fear. If you already a custom recovery, don't worry about this step.
2. Now boot into recovery and make a nand backup!
3. Now go ahead and try this one of two ways - either delete one application at a time until you figure out which one is killing you, OR do a factory reset and then re-add one application or a small number at a time until you figure out what is crashing you.
If it were me, with my 100 applications, I'd probably add 5 or 10 at a time. Once you get crashes after one group, try removing those applications one at a time until the crashes stop. The last removed app when the crashes stop should be the answer.
Of course, since you'll have to have adb running to get a nandroid, you could also just take a logcat of the running, crashing phone and see what app is killing it there.

I did a factory reset today and will report back letting everyone know if that has fixed the issue. Everyone else that is experiencing the freezing issue, did you have Beautiful Widgets installed?

I have that installed, is that whats cousing it?

Beautiful Widgets was killing my N1, too. Freezes, sluggishness, etc. I uninstalled and wiped my cache via stock recovery. No problems since.
I'm on stock FRF91 BTW.

It appears that's the root of my issue. I would uninstall the application and clear the cache and see if that helps. Report back with your findings.

[Q] urk. no longer getting text messages. anyone else?

running cyanogen 6 on sprint hero. overclocked. at some point today, i stopped receiving text messages (i use handcent). i don't know if it's my phone, or sprint's service. i've rebooted the phone numerous times, took battery out for a while, etc - nothing seems to get text messages coming in again. haven't installed any new apps. ran some app updates through appbrain, but i don't see how that could have done it. even removed a bunch of moldy apps i don't use, but still no change.

did u happen to flash a new kernel recently

nope. no kernel changes any time recently.

Did you try opening your stock messaging app to see if that works so we can atleast determine if the problem is with handcent or not?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

yeah, i checked with the plain messaging app. no messages. i'm running logcat now to see if that shows anything, then i think what might be smart is to wipe dalvik etc - or maybe even reflash the rom. if *that* doesn't fix it, then i guess i'll try to get sprint to run diagnostics on my account or something. eesh.

sprint tech support checked everything on my account, and said they are seeing the messages go out to the phone - i just am not getting anything in. i confessed that i was running a non-standard rom, and she didn't have a problem with it, amazingly - but of course, she said there wasn't too much else she could help me with besides the server-side diagnostics. so, i guess i'll have to do a full wipe and see if that fixes it (i wiped dalvik and reflash cm6 before calling them).
bizarre.

could it be as simple as not having enough space on your phone?
i've gotten the notification a couple of times when i ran out of space and it said, texts couldnt be downloaded due to the lack of space

i had the same thing happen to me i just wiped the phone and reinstalled cm6 and that fixed it

i wiped the phone and reinstalled cm6, but it still had the problem. so, i wiped again and installed the sprint official update. all the test messages i'd sent flowed in. figuring that whatever was corrupt deep down must have been cleared out, i wiped *again*, reinstalled cm6, and after that - i finally got text messages again in cm6.
something pretty deep in the system must have gotten corrupted.
all i know is i can hardly wait until february, when i'm eligible for 'new for you' and can get an EVO or something similar!

[Q] Something is crashing after boot

Hello,
for a few days now i have something strange going on with my galaxy s. When i reboot the device, somewhere around the moment you can enter the pincode for the sim, the phone shakes one time first and and then two times as if there is something crashing.
After that all seems to be working fine... That is, until i notice up to two times now, an app went missing, from which i can't remember i removed it. After i reinstall the app, all settings i configured before for that app where there in place...
I am not sure if these two issues have something to do with each other...
I am running the stock Froyo rom 2.2.1 with the speedmod kernel (k12t)...
Is there someone out there who has an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mart

Did you recently change to the froyo 2.2.1 rom, and did problems only occur after changing?
Did you do a full wipe when changing?

Thanks you for the reply...
well no, i am running the 2.2.1 for a few weeks... As far as i am able to point to the moment it started it was just after i removed the battery when the phone was locked (i mistakenly thought it was off). After i placed back the battery and started the phone, i started noticing the possible crashing...
A day or 2 later i noticed an app was lost, the icon was still on the desktop, but it was a green android (like that from the market) and won't start. Because i didn't remember removing the app i looks strange to me. After reinstalling the app all settings i configured before where in place, as if wasn't gone for a while... That's why i notice it, because when i remove an app, i normally make sure everything is removed including settings...
Up until now i have found two of these in a strange way lost apps...
Because there was some time between the removing of the battery with the start of the first issue and noticing these lost apps, i am not really sure they are connected...

It seems that you have any kind of data corruption. If the phone shakes 1 and then 3 times, it is saying that some process has stopped. Also if you lost some app without your intervention... looks like I said. Consider backup your data, wipe and reinstall.
Good luck

[Q] Dialer self close

this seems to be happenning very ofthwn for my phone, and it hasn't disappeared even with using a different ROM or kernel.
I'm on tweaky's 2.3.5 JVS now, and I sometimes when I am in dialer and I type in 3 numbers, it just closes itself and shoots me back to the homescreen. it keeps doing that, and I'm unable to dial out because of this, until after a while and it irritates me to no end.
this also seemingly happens with me using whatsapp or Viber, where when I want to reply a message, after whatsapp has loaded up, it shoots me back to the home screen.
now, I've tries to get rid of my task killers, and saw no changes whatsoever, so can someone enlighten me on what's going on, and how to rectify this????

You say you did try a couple of roms, have you performed a factory reset or re-partition when flashing the roms?

Yes I did, all the time with Odin... Happenned with Darky, symply, simplicity, all of them
I wipe data and factory reset, even format the storage.

I'm not sure but as you said you've tried to change both rom and kernal yet there seems to be some sort of constant.
Are you backing up your apps accounts data etc and then restoring data? or the apps themselves? Because this can cause in-compatibilities.
If you do then start from scratch install only apps but only from market and one by one. Try play around half a day or something (or if you know a definite trigger see if it happens) if nothing then install another of your old apps.
Also have you tried installing no apps just use those that came with the rom. If it still happens after everything has been wiped (cache, dalvik cache, repartition, format sd, no external sd) then im inclined to say its hardware... When did this start happening?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I back up my applications using Appmonster, and this retains just the program itself, I reset everything back to how it was after I wipe.
I'm not sure, I tried to think on whether its an issue with like lacking of ram or something, because SOMETIMES it behaves after I kill of some apps and free up some RAM.
I also thought it might have been a task manager which is doing it but uninstalled that and nothing changed.
I tried to install the programs slowly and individuality and it was a VERY slow and painful process, and it got me really nowhere, as like after i uninstalled and backtracked it still happenned.
I was wondering to myself if it was app incompatibility, as I have a relatively large list of apps installed.
It doesn't seem to do it if its fresh, so I'm not too sure myself.
Any ideas per se? Maybe a list of my installed apps? IDK I'm trying to find a solution to this.
At this rate I'm tempted to get a new phone

No harm in sharing the list of apps I guess, maybe someone more knowledgeable can give you a hand with that info.

Okay, But are there known apps that do this to the system? doesn't seem to happen for games but for Dialer and Whatsapp and Viber.
Everything else just works peach.
I just realised it might take more than a while, perhaps I will try a slow install of only the absolute necessities then.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who's encountering this issue. I'll try a week of the basics soon.
Thanks anw. :3

It happened to me too.
I am also seeking the reason.
But the latest ROM Gingerreal v7.14 was okay..

That's really strange then.
Perhaps its the combination of apps... I don't know, I'll try getting rid of the unnecessary and see if it'll cause the same issues.

dialpad problem and other

good to me the same thing happened to good use Viber but not if I used other application in restored times I have installed from scratch I have used several JVS rom and even some custom rom and also jvr stock but it is more about the JVS rom because jvr step with me after a few occasions,
JVS install and initially as well but in the kernel changes and custom rom rom that has happened to me in all I've used lately.
