Database Develop

I think my phone is bugged, any help?

Yes this is the development thread, and all I really have is a problem, but I think it's something only solvable by you devs.
My phones sms has been completely Effing up lately.
I will get the notification up in the bar, and I can pull that down and read into the message, but if I open Handcent or the default app the text won't show up and will not be there.
So reasonably I stopped using Handcent, and Message widget and all sorts or things like that, wiped my phone, cleared the partition, flashed a new rom. Different firmwares [1.6 and the new open eclair]
But nothing really seems to help or work, apparenlty mms has been failing a lot which I know is more so on Tmobile's end then it is my phone but idk whats up, tonight I get this new Android notification
"com.android.mms a large number of sms messages are being send. select "ok" to continue of "cancel" to stop sending"
whenever I hit send, I haven't yet rebooted to see if it persists but it's a pain.
Is there any device log or collection I can submit so someone can look into it, possibly a bug? Virus? Somethin' stupid like that?
Thanks.
p.s. and my inbox isn't full or anything ridiculous like 1000+ messages, I've got about less than 50 currently, and when I said stopped using Handcent and MessageWidget, I mean uninstalled.

This happened to me on rare occasions while I was using Handcent. But it doesn't happen when I use the default messaging app. So I assumed it was due to handcent. Not quite sure why you're getting the other problems though... =/

This happened to me as well when I changed to a 2.1 rom. I chose to go back to Dwangs 1.6 rom until the 2.1 roms have been completely stable.

Hey try using ChompSMS. I think its better than Handcent SMS

That doesn't sound good at all.
Have you checked with t-mobile to see if you are sending a stupid amount of text messages? It could be someone is sending spam messages via your phone or something. It could explain why you are unable to receive messages.

I think you are from the government, trying to find out whom on here knows how to subvert there android espionage. I for one will state to you officer, that I know nothing about this, and am stupid to the whole concept of bugs.
PS Do not try to trace my post, as both me and my computer are wearing tinfoil hats (with the shiny side out).
In all reality, one trick I learned as a teenager to check if your phone may be bugged, is to find an old business that still uses a switchboard phone system (this was hard in the early 90's, and may be impossible now) and phone them. If your phone was bugged, then they would see two lines coming in as one and become quite confused.

Whoa guys, by "bugged" I meant viruses not I'm being spied on haha.
It's occured on the 2.1 build Open Eclair
and a Cyan 1.6 build.
With and without using alternative applications for messaging.
I got sick and tired of it so I decided to go back to my most solid rom I've ever used.
A Soul Life 1.5 build, and I haven't had any troubles yet.
When I preformed the nandroid backup however it still tried to act like my sd card was partitioned and the market was buggy for a few but the cache is cleared up and it's all good now.

[Q] Grudges with Android & Cyanogen Mod. Help me fix them please:-)

Hello from Trinidad.
I have had my N1 for a couple weeks now. I got it stock froyo frf91 I think, Tmobile model.
Anyway here are the issues I have with the device. I'm coming from a long line of Nokia Symbian devices as well as a Blackberry. Its very upsetting that things I have taken for granted on my nokias and bb are not available/implemented out of the box with Android. I can only hope this improves in future.
1) Alarm Clock. It does not go off. This happened both with stock 2.2 as well as Cyanogen. First issue. I edit the default alarms that came with the phone to the time and days that suit me. Set it for 6am Mon - Sat. It WILL NOT go off.
The only way to make it work was to delete the initial alarms that come with the device and then create new ones. This works fine after with stock 2.2. However on Cyanogen it will fail to work the week after.
Example - I set an alarm 2 sundays ago. It will work for Mon-Sat the prior week but for the week after it will not go off.....like this morning:-/. I did install the latest gapps with cyanogen 6.
This is a killer problem. its hard to believe that such a basic feature malfunctions in both Stock and Cyan. :-|
2)Gallery & Sync to Picasa - The gallery app is fine, besides the lag it takes to render photos. Anyway, when I sync my Picasa account with my phone it loads every single Picture from my account, with no way to hide albums or pictures. In addition to that I cannot download pictures from my Picasa account to the gallery..... So its only purpose is to view them?
3)Camera - App worked fine on Stock, sometimes Force Closes or throws the error "Cannot connect to device." on Cyan.:-/
4) Custom Ringtone per Contact - Maybe its me, but I cannot set a custom tone per contact in my address book. I can set a custom ringtone for the phone itself but not per contact. Please tell me that I missed an option and that this has not been left out. Its a basic feature such as an alarm clock......
5) I remembered. Whenever I set a phone number as the default for a contact, it does not save. i would always have to tick "Do this automatically from now on" or something to that effect, select the number and let it dial. After going back to contacts and dial the same number I would have to do it again.
For anyone that is gonna try to assist me this is what I've done so far.
Rooted the device but not unlocking the bootloader via a method I found on xda. I can't post links, but its the method that does not involve fiddling with the battery. Installed market enabler so that I could actually give google my money (way to go google :-/) and bought a couple of apps such as Titanium backup, Beautiful Widgets, Bettercut, Launcher Pro Plus and System info widget.
Btw I've had Beautiful widgets freeze/ force close on a couple occasions.
That's all I can recall. I'm gonna wipe my device to deal with this but I have another question before I do.
As I'm not in a country that can buy apps normally through the store, what will happen to my paid apps? Will they remain on my downloaded list or will they disappear? Any recommendations?
I've backed up my paid for apps with Titanium. Great app ... But how do I backup Titanium backup :-/?

1. NEVER had a problem with an alarm not going off.
2. Don't use
3. No force closes at all
4. View the contact, menu, options
The applications that are downloaded are stored in /data/app/.
The applications are linked to your google account so once you sign in with the same account it will start to restore them. I really don't know how it works for non market enabled countries but it should still show up and I have never seen anyone complain that they can't redownload them.
When reporting problems it's always best to start out fresh because something could have gotten corrupt or incompatibility with something else.

4 ur 4th prob. Create a folder in ur sdcard named audio . Inside it place 4 subfolders named ringtones, alarms, notifications, ui. Then watever file u place in these folders will appear in the corresponding selection boxes. Bt u must reboot 4 this to work. As of my last post srry 4 bein rude, i was sleepy. Its 3 am in here

What did English ever do to you?

The "default" ringtone chooser only allows "system" ringtones. The apps "ringdroid" and "Rings extended" give UI's that allow the selection of music/etc as a ringtone. Once one them is installed the next time you try to choose a ringtone it will ask you which application to use (and you can choose to always use that app)
I use CM6 and have just modified the default 2 alarms and they always work. Are you running any kind of auto-task-killer? (BTW they do more harm than good)
If you don't want to sync with picassa then disable "Sync Picasa Web Albums" in "Accounts and Sync" under your google account.

Create folders on your SDcard
Media/Ringtones
Media/Notifications
And put your MP3 files in there and then you can select them with the default ringtone selector.

Thanks for the responses guys.
1) The alarm issue I'll be testing over the next couple of weeks to see if it works or not.
2) I disabled the sync to albums in accounts for Picasa. I just hoped there was a work around at least to only display public albums or something of the like.
3) Will monitor the camera closely as well.
4) Hey thanks all. I got the ringtones set up, but i'll also try Ringdroid etc.
5) This still happens. Everytime I go into Call log for example, and try to call a contact with multiple numbers, I have to always select the number i want as default and tick "use this as default" or something to that effect.
Any help on No. 5?
Might try out another rom soon or might just reinstall CM6 after a clean Sd card and wiping the phone.

No task killer of any kind good sir.
List of user installed apps as follows:
Astro
Astro Bluetooth Module
Astro SMB Module
Barcode Scanner
Bat Stat widget
Beautiful Widgets
Better Cut
Colour note
Dropbox
Easy Money
Launcher Pro Plus
Market Enabler
Real Calc
System Info Widget
Titanium Backup
Wave secure
That's all that i've added, but as I said it did happen to me on 2.2 as well.
Nevertheless.I'll be monitoring it too.

Not turning your phone off overnight are you? It needs to be on for the alarm to work.

Nope. Usually the battery is pretty drained during the day so at night is when I have it charging.
Also note that wave secure usually does its automatic backups when the charger is plugged in. Could that affect it?
I don't see how cause I did happen once on 2.2 but I'm beginning to feel that it was just a fluke.

And people like you should not be given access to the internet.

Another question or maybe issue or maybe both...
While the phone is using data over edge, will I not receive calls?
i find it strange that people have been calling me and I get a text message saying that I have a missed call but my phone never rings. I'm only using EDGE data in my area so could that be the culprit?

Do a test, download something and call your phone at the same time?

@hafis93 - I thought that was very funny. They were even helpful responses. I'm gonna try the .name in a Picasa album to see if that hides it.

yes, while on EDGE, very often if someone calls you it will go directly to voicemail and you wont see the call ring on your end. its just the way it is on some EDGE networks, nothing you can do about it, and its not your phone as all phones would behave that way. sucks.

I've done a complete wipe of everything, Data, Cache Davlik etc and reinstalled Cyan and Gapps.
Everything seems to be fine so far, no force closes or camera failures.
Thanks everyone for the help!
One last thing though. Is there a way to enable the market without having to use Market Enabler? Reason being is that I have to "activate" it everytime for it to work.
I know there is a script on xda that does it but haven't been able to search it.

I have another issue to add to this topic. My apologies in advance if an answer to this is already available, can't seem to find it anywhere though.
When approaching the end of my battery life, my phone may start referring the wrong buttons. For instance, it may pick spacebar on the keyboard while I'm pressing letters above. Or strange response inside the browser like brief vibration or sudden zoom while I'm just trying to scroll down or something. I did experience the same issues in the past on stock build. Is there any sort of fix to this for CM6?
Again my apologies if this has been discussed before.

Universal bug on 3.0 messaging app

For the past couple weeks, I've left the comforts of CyanogenMod to venture into the realm of 2.1/3.0 sense roms since they seemed to be close to stable to make one of them my daily rom. Anyway, on EVERY single one I tested, there was a bug in the 3.0 messaging app. Every once in awhile, I would receive a text postmarked an hour later than it actually was. The issue is that when I replied, it would put my response right above the text I just received since my outgoing text would be the correct time. So if this happened a few times in a row, the flow of the conversation would be jumbled. I'm not sure how this happened so I tested it out with my Google Voice account. I'm not sure if this was coincidence or not, but it seemed like it happened either right after turning off the screen or while I was using the phone. I'm guessing it has something to do with how the messaging app deals with the phone's internal clock or something since it's a universal issue and not just found on a couple roms. But I'm not a amazing coder like you guys on here so I have no idea. Hopefully someone can get this fixed.
The roms I've used thus far (the bug is in all of them):
Optimized Shift 2.4 (my main rom)
Synergy RC2
Nil's Business GingerSense 3.0 v1.3
Nil's Business GingerSense 2.1/3.0 v2.3
Incredible 2 ReMix RLS 2.2
Kingdom Stock GingerSense RLS2
Kingdom Rewind 3D RLS3
I posted it here instead of the Q&A because I figured developers should know about this (or whoever it is that ported the 3.0 messaging app) so it can be fixed.

Multiple people have experienced this, and cyanogenmod has had some releases that have done this as well. There is a market app that fixes it, I don't recall the name but it's somewhere along the lines of smsfix or something.

I had this problem a couple times but I didn't pay to much attention... The app that HeliosAI mention is called SMS Time Fix.. and you can get it from the market as he also mentioned...

Were you in central time zone? I never experienced the bug until I traveled from Virginia Beach -> Memphis. Durr, the clock changed on its own. It was on the Pure Speed shift ROM, I reported the bug and basically I was alone 0.0 :'(

Another bug I've noticed is that ever since Sense 2.0, if you have a contact linked to Facebook, their number appears in EVERY. SINGLE. TEXT. Ex:
Bill (M +17575552019): Sure
I call this a bug because, I know who I'm texting, I don't need their number plastered on every single one of their messages, at the very least, HTC needs to move the number to the top. There is no... "sense" in having their number in every text. It also happens if you put email information in contacts. I understand HTC just wants us to know that we know which number we're texting, fair nuff, but who emails with the messaging app?! And on top of that, I've tried de-linking contacts from Friendstream, only for the messaging app to keep showing their number in all their texts whenever I start texting them again -.-
Its amazing that I seem to be the only one who notices this ugly bug.

It seems that no matter what, incoming messages are stamped with Eastern Time .... I was in PST and messages were 3 hours different and now I have moved to CST and messages are 1 hour off. SMS Time Fix will fix this but it does suck that it requires a separate app to do so ....

Crazy voice to text problem

This crazy problem started last week with my Galaxy S running Serendipity ROM.
Now, when I want to compose a text or email with voice, it isn't using english. I thought it was Spanish at first (no I can't speak Spanish). But sometimes it's typing different words or even numbers for the same words I speak.
I say "this is a test", and I get, "nosotras". As I'm typing this, it is now typing the same thing for the same words. It wasn't doing that yesterday. three times I got three different responses.
I have made sure that English is selected in settings. the only thing I can think of that has changed in the last couple of weeks (months even) is I re-installed Google voice app. The problem started a day or two after that, the best i can recall. I've been running this ROM since I first got the phone two years ago. I don't install new software very often.
So, what's going on with my phone? Some crazy virus? Has the phone become self aware and decided to toy with me? Voice text is one of my most favorite features, i really want it to work again.

Try clearing the data in the 3 voice programs and maybe Google voice too.

Which program are you using for your speech-to-text conversion? I'm using Google Voice myself, but I don't see any built-in conversion software. Is it tied to the keyboard program you're using?
If you can't get anything else to work, you can try the newest Swype beta; it has Dragon conversion software built in, and in my experience, it works pretty well.

I'm not sure what program it is. It came with the Serendipity ROM. I'll have to dig around and find out.
How/where would i clean my programs?

Go to settings - applications - manage applications, then find the individual applications. Click the app, and then the "clear data" button. That will reset the offending app's data.

Thank you very much. clearing the data worked. I hope it stays fixed. I think the one that fixed it was clearing the swype keyboard. I never liked the swype KB, I should just remove it if it's going to cause trouble.
Thanks again.

[Q] Widgets/apps probs

Hi guys, I really hope I can get some help here, can't find anything about the problems I am encountering.
I am using this phone for about 4 weeks now, and it's working fine, except for some problems with widgets. I have problems with 3 apps/widgets now; they all worked fine on my old phone, a HTC Sensation XE (rooted, with different ROM's and Android versions). They all have strange behaviour. At first I thought I had some settings set wrong in the apps themselves, but I tried everything I could think of and now I have to conclude that the problems start with the phone itself.
I am encountering problems with the following apps:
aCalendar+: widget, but also opened app get in some kind of update loop; sync icon starts spinning, stops and immediately starts again, and on and on. It does sync properly though in the meantime.
Plume: Most of the time the widget does not respond to manually syncing. Only after I open the app and sync manually (which works fine), and go back to the widget, I can finally sync using the widget.
Transparent clock & weather: Most of the time, the clock does not keep track of the time, it just hangs. Only when I tap the widget, or refresh the weather, it syncs with the internal clock, like it should. Sometimes though, the clock does keep track for a short time, but in the end it will hang again.
I tried out a lot of different things with the P7 energy- and network apps settings. Also I upgraded to firmware version 126, but it all doesn't make any difference. It's all really annoying, especially because I never had those issues on my old phone.
Anybody got a clue?

I was able to reproduce your problem and solve it.
Please set this app as "protected app". You didn't have set it, so the app would be closed then the screen get off.
You can set this: Settings -> Protected Apps -> Check the checkbox of this app.
Then your widget is working.
Then an app don't set up as protected, the app would be closed on screen off.

Thanks for your help, I already tried that out before. It do not think it made a difference though. Anyway, the time freezing issue also happened when using the phone for some time, I mean without screen off time, so it should not make any difference. But in the meantime I updated the app, and that seems to work.
The links for the other apps:

I contacted the developer of Acalendar+, and as far as I understood there should be an update coming in the near future that should resolve the problem. I installed another calendar app in the meantime, which just works flawlessly, so maybe I just stick to that one...
I hope Plume gets a working update too, so I can enjoy me phone without being annoyed
Thanks again for your effort!

Oops, I just found out you were right about the protected apps thing. I have not had the issue with the screen active since the last update, but indeed, after screen-off time, the issue is back again. So I guess I should indeed use the protected apps setting.
I don't understand why this is necessary though. I mean, the internal system clock just carries on ticking in standby mode, so why wouldn't the app just sync with that automatically when I activate the screen? Or would it be so that the app has always been active in standby mode on my old phone, and is it only because I now have this protected apps mode on this new phone that I am getting aware of this? If you understand what I mean, this is quite hard for me in English...

I've experienced similar issues. Like you I use aCalendar+ which is very good. However I don't use any of the widgets that come with this app. I prefer Smooth Calendar instead. So far, no problems at all. And as for the clocks, it seems a bit hit and miss. I was using DIGI Clock Plus but had no end of trouble with it. It just won't update on wake up. Protected or otherwise. I've given up on it. The clock widgets from HD Widgets work just fine. There's an amazing array to choose from. Maybe it's an Android issue, maybe Huawei. Who knows? I think the best solution is to find apps and widgets that work and discard those that don't.
