orry paul : /
ive been getting more and more failed texts lately, the phone just cant send them, sometimes i reset the phone and they work, sometimes not. All of my friends with iphones and blackberrys say its happened to them maybe once or twice a year. So is it TMobile or is this just another in the seemingly endless list of android's failures? Android is my first smart phone, my g1, mytouch and nexus have all had similar problems im just wondering if other popular smart phones have the level of problems android does....i realize all phones have issues and android is still young (although that excuse is getting pretty tired) but its just all the damn time with these phones. I love android but at some point the phone's got to either work or im out...thanks
what messaging app are you using? Handcent seems to work for me rather well. I'm not too sure about the native messaging as I don't use it.
Same crap happens to me and I'm using stock sms.

Try out handcent. If you have problems, the developer is very easy to get in touch with and actually works with you to find the problem

Used it before, same issues. I don't think it matters what you use, I think its a bug in the Android OS itself.
from time to time, i've experienced SMS send failures on all of my smartphones, WinMo & Android. a soft reset/reboot seems to correct the problem. to the OP, what ROM are you using? have you asked T-Mo if they've been having issues with SMS messages? hope you get it resolved soon!
first of all, sorry that my post sounds so grouchy. My phone isnt rooted, but i do recall similar problems on my g1 and it was rooted, mytouch was not rooted but had same problems. Its not so much THAT it happens, because im sure it happens across the board to all phones, its just that it happens about every other day which seems a bit much for competitive smartphone software (of course, i am not smart so ive no idea that its the software and not the hardware or carrier, im just poorly connecting what dots i do have...) I had the problem with stock app and i tried chomp, same issues so i went back to stock, again same issue so i currently have handcent (which is an awesome app but i just hate having two icons/apps for the same purpose when im only using one of them).
the issue happens with handcent, and every time before restarting the phone i try the stock app and it doesnt work so im guessing its not the particular app, TMobile definitely has poor signal quality compared to the other major carriers, but i have 3g and full bars here in san antonio for the most part. If its not a particular app, i assume there is something in the android system that text messaging uses regardless of what app is being used; since i have 3g and full bars im led to believe its something in the android system? But again, android smartphones are the only smartphones ive had so i dont know if its just the nature of texting although like i mentioned the other two phones i have several friends who own report very very rare if any text messaging issues...
android is such an impressive software, so sophisticaed that i can understand that some part could mess up another part and cant be resolved without messing up yet another part. I cant even begin to imagine how to resolve all of the software issues android has, but if apple can do it, im confident google can too. i just hope the forthcoming litigation doesnt affect the efforts, i already feel like ive been waiting for some fixes for a long time, but thats probably due at least in part to my extreme, childish, and uncontrollable impatience...
Everytime I have issues with SMS messages, I am always using a HTC ROM. That is why I stopped running Hero ROM's on my G1. It would just not recieve the messages at all sometimes. I tried the Desire ROM on my N1 and it worked great for a while, then I started having issues with the messaging app (stock one). It would list the threads incorrectly by contact, but when you clicked on them, it would be the right contact. For example, I had a conversation with Jim, it would show what Jim said in his last message to me, but the name next to it would show Carl. I clicked on it to see the whole thread, and it would show Jim's name next to all of his messages. This was okay, until it started sending messages to Carl, when it was supposed to send messages to Jim.
I am not saying the HTC ROM is to blame, It might have been the back up and restore software I was using and how it is affected by crossing from a CM ROM to the Desire ROM.

Hi all,
I'm currently using Incbusus' Super Eclari Lite Rls5, but I've had this issues off and on since I got my Vogue, and I started on Warm Donut RLS3.
I use text messaging a lot, mostly to talk to my girlfriend who lives in another state. However, I have a lot of issue with either my phone never receiving some text messages, or receiving them incredibly late.
Is there something I should be doing differently? Do other people have this issue? What can I do to fix this?
That is a known issue with that build that im having trouble resolving. Most of the other builds should not have this issue.
so you're saying try one of the other builds, and I shouldn't have issues? Alright, I really like RLS5, but this is a pretty important feature for me.
Being a sprint user myself upon the camera development this morning (still needs work but something is better than nothing)
i have come to realize that Eclair and Android on The Sprint HTC Touch
is very close to complete.
only things left that i know of are:
bluetooth audio (music playback)
video recording
Video playback
but i want to see if anybody else has found anything.

bt audio works for calls.
Yea I know it is but not for audio routing so you can't listen to music through it
Video playback is also still not working.
I'm running the super eclair from incubus
Well the camera on mine still isn't working after the update. It loads but when i take a picture it crashes.
I'm very new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.
but also I'm not receiving text for some reason, everything else seems to be working fairly well.

its always going to say my touch 3G, thats just what he has the build set to recognize the phone as, it shouldn't cause any problems
i have no clue what an MMI code is so im not sure
This is day two of going back to this phone and I dont have any data connection. In two more days according to Sprint I should have 100 percent access to whats on my account. I hope I have data connection soon. If I dont have it back by then I will be posting it here. I miss my data connection!

what happened there, was your Data working before you flashed to android?
I have the Vogue and the Titan. I switched from my Vogue to the Titan due to some minor issues and now my Titan is doing the same thing. Before switching back to my Vogue I flashed the rom with the Android, liked it alot and then called up sprint and did a switch back to my newly improved Vogue. According to the sprint rep it will take upto 4 days for all provisioning to be complete. As of right now I have it all working except for the data. My phone doesnt even show a data connection and when it tries to access something via internet it says "You don't have a network connection. Ths could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when you are connected. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Ohh yah, *2 and *4 doesnt work. I was going to call them today to see if they could speed things up but cant call them this way.

yea so i have an easy fix to your problem, flash back to windows mobile once its back an loaded access the internet, it should do some sort of dialing #777 thing then flash back to android after IE loads any sort of web page.
you should be perfectly provisioned right now the max it usually takes is like 24 hours, although i do still have nightmares from my days as a service tech provisioning those sprint Direct Connect phones
but yea so if you were in android before you activated the phone thats why you dont have data
Thank you. I relized that I would probable needed to do this but I didnt want to if there was a easier way to resolve this issue. I recall that I needed to do this when I went for stock rom to nfs 6.5 and had no internet as well. I then needed to load the 6.3 rom and then back to 6.5. This time I reverted to the 6.3 nfs rom and straight to this one.
okay so I am super new to this...i have a sprint vogue and i am running the zen-hero files from my sd card...I cannot get my caller id to work to save my life...it shows just numbers when someone calls me please help...
Hi! I hope to write in the right area, but if not I ask someone to move my post in the right one.
Now I have a HTC Diamond device, but I've to change it for a GalaxyS or an iPhone4.
I would like to buy a GalaxyS device, but I read many posts about bugs, lags, gps problems, so I wonder if it is a great choice this GalaxyS.
I like android and all the development opportunities around it (thanks to XDA), but it seems to be not so stable yet...
I flashed many ROMS on my Diamond in the past, so it's not a problem to do the same for my GalaxyS, but problems are fixed? The GPS works fine? Maybe not...
Maybe with Froyo 2.2?
iPhone4 is not so open as an Android device, but it's a very stable device!
What do you think about?
coming from a winmo background you're gonna love the galaxy s! its miles ahead in terms of refinements, polish and brilliant integration. The GPS problems are nothing so critical...its more of a sw fix im guessing. I live in India, and i have ZERO problems on my GPS....i feel the bug is something country/carrier specific.
there are many things to love and obsess with the galaxy s....go get yourself one, you sure wont regret it
While I'd love to echo what dreamtheater39 has said, I can't. It's a brilliant phone, but after having mine for just under a month, it's starting to lag like crazy, and in the last two days I've had a ton of dropped calls and the phone has switched itself off/crashed three times in the last few hours resulting in data loss because the power button doesn't respond (forcing me to hard-reset the phone).
All I can say is that, if you do get one, have an open mind. And make sure you don't get locked into a lengthy contract in case things do go awry.
same here GPS working great since day 1

Maybe I got a lemon
Maybe I got a lemon but I can not stand the i9000. I have 4 bugs that drive me crazy.
1. Market Place hangs at starting download. I have to do a factory reset to download an update an app.
2. GPS just stops working or it puts you on a different street when you are using navigation. The worst part is then it has to recalculate the directions twice, once for the wrong location and then again for the correct location, which is a real pain in the pocketbook when you are rooming.
3. Receives invalided cert from a hotspot connects the 1st time then never again. So I cannot use my hotspot at work, my old iphone connects no problem.
4. Does not always switch between wifi and mobile network. Have to go to airplane mode and back to get 3G network. (I tried changing the wifi sleep settings)
Mmmm...so maybe it's a good device, but I understand that who had an iPhone before it seems to be a step backward...is it?
Is anyone else having issues using the app HeyTell? The only ROM i can get it to work properly on is the stock AT&T 2.1, it doesn't even work on the stock 2.2 update. Basically on stock 2.1 I can send and receive messages perfectly without missing a message or having to close the app. If I update to 2.2 or flash a custom ROM, I can send about 2 messages and then it stops sending or receiving, I have to close the app and then try to send the message again. Once I open the app again, whatever the person sent to me is lost and they have to send it again.
Just putting this out there, I have emailed the developer and they are stating that they have no issues. I don't know what else to try, I have cleared the app's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, I am out of ideas.
I've never even heard of this app before... I'll install it now and tell you how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously have no friends on this at the moment... But I've been clicking around the app and it seems fine? I'm using Paragon RC6 right now. The GPS/Map component seems to be working fine anyway... I can't really send a voice clip or message through it (no-one to send it to).
EDIT2: Okay, I somehow sent a voiceclip/message to myself and I've recorded it, sent it, and then received it fine. I'll keep playing around with this a little bit further in the morning.
I really appreciate it, it will work at first, and then just stop sending and receving, the little sending icon just spins and spins...then you have to force close it and then start it again, then it works for a few messages and then stops again.
I'm having the same problem with the HeyTell app. It's pretty much hit or miss for me, sometimes it works good for a while, sometimes it sends blank messages. I have a ton of friends using this app on iPhones or other Android devices and they aren't having problems at all.
I have emailed the developer and he states that it works perfectly for him on his phone, whether or not that is true, I am not sure.
Not trying to thread jack but for some reason my hey tell doesn't get messages on time. I'll be next to a buddy and I'll get a message that he sent hours ago. Does anyone else have this issue? I just have the 2.2 froyo update, no custom roms.
I thought for sure HeyTell would work on Official 2.2 as well but I have the same issue your stating. Like I said though, the developer states he has no issues...I am not sure what is going to happen.
HeyTell Support
Are you sure you contacted HeyTell support? I don't have any record of sending a "works for me" answer on a report like this...drop me another email to refresh my memory at [email protected] if you can - thanks in advance!
So! We're aware of an issue on the Galaxy S series phones (Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, Vibrant) introduced by 2.2 firmware (Samsung only, 2.2 makes HeyTell better on other phones). Symptoms appear to be spotty network reporting, media player issues (inconsistent record behavior), and the OS killing HeyTell during screen dims.
We're currently working hard to find a workaround for affected users (and trying to get more info from Samsung), but in the meantime, if you could do us a favor and email us your firmware revision number and any logs you have related to the behavior, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Since I had the issue with Stock 2.2 and not with Stock 2.1 I am running Stock 2.1 until there is a fix. If your asking me for logs I cannot help you there unless I put 2.2 on my phone. i am currently running HeyTell version 181, I am willing to load 2.2 and work with you and get you information, just let me know. I love this app, but my phone is kinda laggy and slow running 2.1 and I want to be running 2.2.
I"m also using HeyTell on 2.2 and having quite a bit of troubles. I'd be happy to send you logs if you could explain to me how to do so. Thanks!
Just a little update, I finally got tired of stock 2.1 last night and decided to try out MIUI. I was pleased to find that after sending more than 10 messages back and forth, HeyTell has not failed yet.... I will be testing all day at work today, I am not sure if they updated the app or if something in MIUI allows it to work. I just thought I would update those few of you that have had the same problem as me.
Everything is still working fine with HeyTell, I am running MIUI Beta 6 and HeyTell is working perfectly. I did notice an update to from the market, I am hoping that could be a fix for other cutom Roms and Stock 2.2.
As MIUI has no samsung crap in it, it should work fine, since it seems to be a samsung issue. Runs fine on CM7 as well.
We put a workaround into builds 1.1.3 -- that fixed it for stock, but didn't catch all of the custom ROMs, so we spun 1.1.4 - give that a whirl and it should work. If anyone runs into this issue again, shoot us an email with your model number (Menu > Profile > Email Support sends this to us, so that may be the fastest method, but also don't forget to include a description of the issue you hit).
Oh sweet so HeyTell should be working fine now with stock 2.2? I will test it now, thanks alot!
Ever since I downloaded the update the app works great! Thanks!
Hey Tell Message Queue Issues
I've been having a problem for a while now where message don't come in automatically, as if they're caught up in the queue somehow. I have to exit HeyTell multiple times, manually click on the message, hit the stop and play buttons, or multiple combinations of all of these just to get a single message to play sometimes. I'm using a Samsung SGS3 with Synergy. Any way to fix this issue? Thanks much!
Hi guys, I started having issues with my SMS this morning. Now, I can't send messages reliably, I'm not sure if I'm receiving them properly now either. On top of that, I am was having issues with 3g, sometimes the icon would not appear at all, and others it would not load web pages or send data via internet enabled apps, i.e. facebook. I must stress that I did not change absolutely anything, and that it just started happening. could this be a flaw with cognition? or is it just AT&T being... well... AT&T?
I assume it's just AT&T being AT&T, I had issues with that exact scenario about a month ago. Cog is working fine for me, but you can always try to backup and re-flash and see if that helps.

If it persists I will re-flash... pain, but what ever. Any-who I'm about to get an inspire 4g anyways so meh.
Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. I tend to have one-in-6-billion luck like that.
Please post in the Cog sticky instead of creating new threads.
oh and for the record I'm running 3.04. Looking in to 4.1 anyways, wondering if I can update it without having to wipe everything. Can I restore apps + Data if I go from 3.04 to 4.1, or will that cause all sorts of hairy issues still?
No problem at all. Did you do your research around the forums and see all the reviews about the inspire not being all that it's cracked up to be? Not trying to sway your decision or anything, just making sure you know what you'll be getting into.

I don't think I wiped anything when I updated, but when I restored system apps with TiBu, I got some FC's when it came to a few of the system apps and data, don't recall which ones though.

I've been fiddling with it at the at&t store... I like it a lot but I'm looking in to the possibility of getting a different carrier's phone unlocked... I'll check out some of the discussion though. thanks
im not a big fan of how hard it is to remove the battery panel and the panel where the memory card would be at. but the phone looks nice. androidcentral has a video review about it
