Delayed Notifications in Cooked ROMS..

Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few of the custom builds (Timor, AthineOS, CellPro Evo), and one problem I've noticed with each of the ones I've used is that when I get a text it doesn't notify until I wake the screen back up. Once I do that it vibrates and rings, but its up 30min after I got the text. Is this a known problem with a fix or am I better off sticking with a stock ROM?
Thank You

Funny you mention this, because I'm having the same problem. I thought it may have been a tweak I'd done and was going to do a hard reset today.
The only cab I've installed is Microsoft MyPhone. And had to edit the reg to allow the changing of the notification light timing in the Sounds & Notifications settings.

Do you know if this happens before you've made any changes to settings or installed any software on the phone? I don't recall having any problems like that myself with Timor installed, but I'm also not sure I received a text in that time. I haven't tried the other ROMs you listed.

It seemed to happen after I edited the reg settings.
Doesn't seem to be a constant occurance though. I happened to me 12 hours ago, even after a soft reset. But now I just sent a test message to myself, and all is ok... weird

Well I've regularly installed My Phone, Marketplace, Bing, Groovefish, and MP3 Trimmer, but I'd rather not delete and hard reset everything to do a test if someone knows a fix

I haven't had this issue...I am using the Valkrie Firestorm 5 and even when my phone is sleeping my phone vibrates as I get SMS messages and emails...

Well I have hard reset and held off installing using the My Phone. Everything seems well with recieving on time...but now the screen turns on everytime i get a message. It didn't used to do that and I find it quite annoying..I looked around my settings and Advanced Config and couldn't find anything.

It happens in the stock HTC rom too.
It normally doesn't happen if you come out of the text messages and go back to the home screen after you reply to someone. It's a really annoying bug

Me too...
I thought it was the result of all the hacking, tweaking and breaking I've been doing on this flash since I've been using it as a "scratch pad" but the problem you are all describing sounds identical.
I will also second the Home screen suggestion. Hit 'End' after you are done messing with the phone to go back to the Home screen. There is definitely a notification bug related to not alarming/vibrating when not on Home screen.
Though I have observed this issue, this does not completely explain my problems. Sometimes I don't actually even receive the SMS or MMS until the next day or after rebooting my phone! Most of the time it's fine though. I'm going to do a clean flash and see if that gets rid of that issue.

Same Here
I have run across the same problem with a number of the cooked ROMs. I never really noticed the problem with the stock ROM though. In my experience some of the cooked ROMs are having a problem handling the text messaging. I have over 3000 text msgs in my backup and as soon as I try to view an older text, the systems tend to lag and freeze up to the point that I need to soft-reset. Im using Athine right now and so far it has handled the text msging just fine without freeze or lag, but it also seems to have the same notification delay bug that the other ROMs have.

Yeah I'm familiar with that bug. But I go back to the home screen 99% of the time then shut the screen. I'll get a message and the LED will start blinking, but only when I turn the screen back on will it ring and vibrate.

Same problem here with the cell pro rom

I have the problem with almost all of the ROM. Does anyone know if it could be a result of not using the right radio?

I could be wrong.. but I don't think it has anything to do with the radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem is receiving the message from the carrier, it's more-so the OS not notifying. This has only happened to me since trying the new WM 6.5.5 builds with Sense 2.5. Previous to these builds I have never had any issues, and only used EnergyROM with a COM2 build, and Sense 2.1

Im not sure about all the technical stuff your talking about...I just know that on almost every ROM I flash, when the phone goes to sleep, they seem to not do anything. Its only when I wake it up do I receive text messages, notifications and the weather doesnt update on its own in the prescribed time its supposed to according to the settings I have selected.

The radio version may affect the quality of your reception. So if you have no reception then that will obviously delay texts getting through, and stop you being able to get to the weather servers. But I can't see why it should have anything to do with delayed notification of texts that are already on your phone.
I realise this might not help you much, but on my EnergyROM (see my signature for full details), my phone gets texts fine when it's asleep.
The weather isn't designed to get automatically updated when your phone is asleep though. There was a recent thread on how to change the registry to make it do so, if you haven't done that then your weather stuff may well be acting correctly.

Awesome...thank you so much for the information and help

This is the thread about getting weather to update automatically - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585373

WHY DONT YOU JUST USE A ENERGYROM????? I dont have any issues with those roms and i just updated to the .88 radio. no issues as of yet.

[Q] Native SMS notifications

I have started to have this problem and because I'm quite pedantic it's rather annoying me.
I've been using chompsms since I had the T-Mobile G1 and never had a problem with it, but in the last few days the native messaging app has just decided to start pushing notifications again even though notifications are turned off. While it's nothing major, it's bloody annoying!!!
I've tried numerous roms, it's the same in every one, I've tried freezing the native messaging app in titanium and then I didn't receive any messages at all. I've even tried a different messaging app and still the same. I know it doesn't really effect anything apart from my sanity. Has anyone come across anything like this before cos if I don't work this out soon, I'm gonna have pulled all my hair out lol

Text Messaging Issues

Hello,
Ever since I have gotten this phone, I have run into problems occasionally with messages failing to send out. They simply get stuck at "sending".
Mtmichaelson informed me that on the VZW community forums this is a main complaint of the phone. I spoke with tech support and of course they said they have never heard of this before and simply wanted me to perform a factory reset (Which I had already done previously, even before I was rooted) . I even went out to get a new sim card.
Today though, I think I may have found out what causes it. It appears it's happening from sending messages consecutively too fast.
For example, say I sent you a message at 11:00:01 AM saying "SCREW", followed by "YOU" at 11:00:04 while the first message is still attempting to send. (It doesn't always happen, but when it does its usually from sending messages consecutively too fast. At least with my own testing)
The first one will send and the second one will fail to send, along with any other messages you attempt to send, until you either put your phone in airplane mode or reboot.
I have corrected the situation by using Handcent and applying a 1.5 second delay of when I press send. Now, my texting problems have been solved. (Hopefully)
I live in Houston and there have been no reports of VZW network issues here, and I've had a Tbolt and a Charge and never had this issue.
Thanks,
Samsuck

I've run into the same thing numerous times. Always seem to happen when im in a low signal area.
Do you ever have the issue where only half of 2 part messages comes through?

yup.. i have problems with low signal texts, and im not a big handcent fan... can never get the stock notifications to stop so i always get two notifications per sms/mms... oh well.

I actually prefer GO SMS but the lack of nice free themes suck.
All you have to do is go to your stock messaging app, hit menu, settings, and scroll down to notifications, and turn it off

Sigh..
Nevermind.

This is the biggest, most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. I'm glad I'm not the only person, but this is my only gripe with this phone.
When all my messages get stuck in "sending" I have to put it in airplanes mode one time for every message I'm trying to send.
I also have a horrible problem with not receiving all the sections of long text message.

That's not it, me setting a delay in handcent to prevent the texting issue didn't work.
Unfortunately, I think I may have to get a new phone, this is happening way too often, and as much as I love the phone, and Revolt rom. I am tired of my girlfriend *****ing at me for not replying, when I have it's just that I encounter the "stuck at sending" problem, at least 3 times a day

Mine has only gotten stuck twice, but both times I cleared it by calling voicemail. Worth a try, easier than a reboot.

mine only gets stuck when i have pretty much no service.. like cant make a phone call use data only type of service. otherwise, no issues.

This still happens to me alot

one solution i just read is to delete your texts. once they start to become full the phone has a problem sending. try erasing your threads then it should work. i just googled this problem since i ran into it and am testing it now

I will be following this as it happens to me excessively.

Same here. i thought it had something to do with the handoff between wifi and 4G, but after reading this thread, I'm not so sure. For me it always seems to happen when I've been connected to a wifi network and switched to 4G. I'm testing not running wifi at all today to see if it happens again.

Same problem here. I concur that it appears to be an issue with sending text messages "too quickly."
I also called Verizon, got bumped up to "Tier 2 Support" and spent well over an hour on the phone doing every little thing they asked. I am going to try using the Handcent delay feature and see if that helps.
For those of us on Revolt...Does anyone know if/think it may have something to do with v1.5 still using V4 and not having the latest radio update? Or is this a problem for those using the stock rom and V6 as well?

Yup, sending messages to quickly is my theory as well but the handcent delay didn't work for me. I set it to 1.5 seconds which I figured should be enough.

Do any devs have any insight on how or why this may be occuring? It'd be awesome if someone knew of a fix. I'm pretty confident that it's a software issue and not phone related

It happens when your text threads are full. If you erase your texts they send. The the revolution had trouble with dealing with the threads

I really don't think that has anything to do with it. The threads can't get "full" unless you set a limit (which I didn't), and I was still having the issue even after deleting all of my texts (one of the many things Verizon had me do on the phone). I'm no dev, so I could be wrong about this, but I feel like a fix that easy would've been diagnosed by now.
I agree it's a software issue of some sort...it doesn't seem consistent enough to be a hardware issue. There's threads on the LG forums about it. The handcent delay seems to have helped me, or at least I don't find myself wanting to throw my phone across the room as frequently.
On a lighter note, while on the phone with Verizon, the lady had me turn off my WiFi because "When it's turned on your phone sends the text messages through the wifi."

Verizon T1 tech's don't know anything. Their solutions to everything is usually a "factory reset"
SMS is in no way sent via WI-FI lol

[Q] Multiple Texts

Greetings!
Lots of my friends have been telling me that my phone sends texts 3-5 times. I've had the vivid since the day it came out and I've used multiple roms. I currently have holics on it, but i've heard it even when I was on stock. So, I'm like hmmm? Usually a reboot fixes it but I dont want to do that every few hours. Could it be AT&T? Vivid? GOsms Pro? It just really bugs me, because I know I hate receiving dup texts. I usually hear "wtf why did you send that 3 times?" a day..
Anyone else having this issue?

I have had this happen ever since i activated a iphone 3G on my account years ago. I get multiple sent and received.. i dont know what caused it, but i just ignore it.

i find it happens with iphones most, but it also happens with other phones
i havent had this issue since i been using a non lte rom

I had it happen to me, and (at least in my case) I think I've narrowed down the potential cause.
I wrote a small app to send a specific text to a specific number. It works - well, ... kind of. After sending the first text, the SMS system appears to freeze, and won't allow any subsequent messages to be sent from any SMS app - not just the one I wrote - until I reboot the phone. When I do, the clogged messages are released. This would include any re-sends I may have attempted, resulting in dupes.
So my semi-literate guess is that it has to do with an incompatible SMS app, which probably locks the outbound socket for a while.
......then again, I may be way off base.

[Q] SMS delay problem

Hello guys
i just got a LG L90 a few days ago from T-Mobile
But I suspect there is some SMS delay problems with it
somehow i don't get sms for maybe hours,
and suddenly sms just come popping all up at around the same time
I tried with a few friends. some got it normal but one got my sms 2-3 hours late!
However there are times it work just fine with everyone though
Wondering if any has met the same problem and if there is. Have you figured out a solution for this?
I have contacted T-mobile just now and hopefully the assistants clearing cache method will work for me

No you are not the only one, I too have the same problems (although not as extreme).
As for a fix, luckily with KitKat we can choose a default messaging app and I recommend chompSMS or Textra, they seem to eliminate those pesky delay problems, but although it works for me, I can't guarantee it will work for you.

Yeah, I've switch to Google hangout, still a delay :crying:
And also my device suddenly wouldn't charge earlier, i had to disconnect and reconnect 4-5 times before it charges
using Google chrome also keep killing background tasks, keyboard wouldn't show up, screen dimmer keeps getting killed
even the whole UI blank out sometimes and I'm forced to restart
I think I should try flashing a custom ROM? would it be something about the custom one? i don't have much apps installed, problems shouldn't be due to a lack of RAM...
Anyone can help?

There are a few Roms available, check out @Quarxs one about cm 11

Thanks I'll definitely look into the thread

Did you ever resolve your texts not going through? We have an L90 bought from tmobile prepaid but activated with ultra mobile. Sometimes go to send a text and it just says sending and doesn't go through. At this same time I tried to send a text to that phone and it wasn't received. Rebooted the phone and the messages started going through. Using stock messaging app. I haven't tried a different app. It's my daughters phone and she doesn't deal well with changing the apps around so I want to avoid it if possible.
