Try going into settings then go to applications manger and find the stock msg app and clear data then go to the msg app settings and scroll down to custom user agent and choose Nokia n95 options then reboot into recovery and wipe Dev cache reboot and it might work good luck

I've flashed my droid to a small Canadian network and have had a problem where i cannot receive texts, but the only way i found i can is if i run a sense rom, do you know what my problem could be?

MMS problem

I have had this problem for a while now, since i tried handcent SMS...
Since I installed handcent sms and played with it, I decided it was ok and deleted the mms.apk from /system/app/ And everything was good, and then my mms and sms didnt seem to send, so i pushed the apk back into system/app/ and rebooted and still had the problem, I reflashed superd 1.9.3 and now only handcent sms shows the texts as being sent/recieved, and the default app still shows the little red envelope, even after I know that the message was sent succesfully, how do I fix this?
help?
Thanks
Wipe, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, that should do it. What happened is that you still have traces of the original mms.apk somewhere in your system and it's interfering with your updated one.
Good luck.
It still does it after a full wipe (ext4, everything) :\ is it the rom?
It shouldn't be the rom because many people use it and have no problems. The only thing I can suggest is flash defanged base 1.6 followed by Super D again, it may sort things out.
If it doesn't - we will need a log.
Ok ill try that
Defanged base is only for Cyanogenmod.. SuperD will overwrite everything from the base so there's no point flashing it. Just wipe and flash SuperD again.

User already did that (first post). Base 1.6 is the most "legit" rom out there, in theory it should fix anything. I always flash it in case of problems just to rule out hardware faults.
I tried superd 193 with the wg kernel and it seemed to fix it, thanks guys!

4.06 radio and AT&T/Rogers phone incompatibility?

There seems to be a major issue with the 4.06 radio and my phone - every time I have tried to flash it (from both validated .img's and update.zips) my phone becomes extremely unstable afterwards.
It goes into booting loops, hangs at the X, when I get it to boot it crashes while using heavy 3G or WiFi data, reboots when plugged into USB and receiving a call and it becomes almost impossible to get into recovery mode etc, etc.
The only way to get back to a working phone is to revert to stock 4.04. I have tried 5 different times over the last 2 weeks now with the same results every time.
I am starting to wonder if it is a AT&T/Rogers N1 issue or something specific to my device. If it was my device I would think that flashing back to 4.04 would also cause problems but that is not the case. This makes me believe there is there maybe an incompatibility with the leaked Froyo radio.
Appreciate any thoughts/comments.
I'm not having that problem. I flashed Modaco's first FroYo repack with root and the new radio, and things have been fine. To be honest, the only thing I've noticed is that Bluetooth seems to sync a lot faster to the head unit in my car.
Did you do a complete wipe before you installed the update and what applications have you added that may not like the radio?
Edit to add: By the way, you guys have a kick-ass little HTC Magic up there. It may not be a Nexus One, but it more than holds it's own running cyanogen. I have an import that my wife is playing with. I really like it.
Have you tried the 4.6.00.12_7 radio as well ast the 4.6.00.2_2? The 12_7 is working flawlessly for me both on Froyo and on CM 5.0.8-derived ROMs.
I just verified my version - it's definitely the 4.6.00.12_7 Froyo radio firmware.

I tried the 12_7 last night and after flashing it using fastboot, my phone got stuck in a reboot loop. I could get back into fastboot and saw the new radio version on the screen but could not for the life of me get my phone to boot into either the rom or recovery mode - I pulled the battery, took out the SD card etc but nothing worked. This prevented me from flashing a ROM and I could not get into Recovery. After about an hour of trying, I managed to get the 4.04 radio flashed using fastboot and then my phone booted with no problems.
Previously, I tried the various Froyo builds and with no additional apps installed I would still get random roboots when using data via either 3G or WiFi - usually when I try to do something big like downloading/syncing a large file.
This is the story every time I try a 4.06 radio. 4.04 is rock solid.
Have you tried flashing the 4.6 radio via an update.zip as opposed to through fastboot? It's about the only other idea I can think of lol...
Just checked, I flashed the 2_2 last night, not 2_7.
I have flashed the radio via update.zip before and my phone worked but would be unstable. I will have to double check which version I used, could have been 2_2 as well.
codesplice said:
Come to think of it, that's the radio version I'm currently using, and that's where I got mine while I was running his ROM. So yes, flash that zip, flash Kangorama, and you should be square.

This is the same radio image I flashed two days ago and it worked for me quite well for an entire day (light 3G use) and then started crashing the phone when I tried downloading larger files (using the Audible app) via both WiFi and 3G in the evening. Once it started crashing I could not get into recovery until after I pulled my SD card. Once it booted OK without the SD card I put the card back and it booted ok again. It would still crash on heavy data use though.
Maybe try the 12_7 radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609 ? I'm fairly certain that is the same radio update that I have applied on my AT&T N1.
edit: disregard....
I'm running out of ideas, dude

Did you try not running/removing the audible app and see about stability then? What else are you using? Not every app is going to play nice with newer firmware.

The crashes started just after I got the Rom installed.
I did the following:
- Nandriod backup (thank goodness for this!)
- I wiped all as per instructions
- Installed radio, rebooted OK
- Installed ROM (Rodriguesstyle 1.6)
- Booted OK into setup
- Configured my phone - first crash just after entering my gmail ID and the syncing of all the apps from the market started
- Rebooted, configured my phone again - apps installed this time but while configuring ChompSMS the phone rebooted again
- Rebooted, phone came up clean, ran OK all day
- Got home and tried syncing Audible content - phone crashed
- Could not get into recovery or boot the phone normally for almost an hour (pulling battery etc did not help)
- Pulled the SD Card and the phone booted, shut down, put the sd card in again, phone booted OK
- Got a phonecall, phone rebooted
- Got fed up and restored 4.04 radio and stock ROM
- Phone stable since
I was running the following apps:
- Autokiller
- Doubletwist Player
- Audible beta
- Silent Sleep
- ChompSMS 4.2
- Switchpro Widget
- Barcode Scanner
- ADW Launcher
- newsRob
- File manager
- Backgrounds
- Rom Manager

What kernel is the Rodrigessstyle ROM using?
Try Modaco's straight up Froyo repack - it has a stock kernel. I'd get as close to stock Froyo ROM/Radio as possible, see what I have and then go from there.
Also, make sure you're using an updated version of chompsms. I think I heard that reports were that it was not compatible with Froyo, but that it's been updated.

I used the stock kernel. ChompSMS 4.1 and later is compatible and I was using 4.2. I am planning on trying the new Kang-o-rama 0.8b1! (CM-5.0.8+2.6.34 Kernel) rather than Froyo - if only I can get the radio to flash.

Why not start with FroYo - the ROM the radio was meant to work with - before flashing anything else? If it doesn't run then, you have a real problem. otherwise, you have no idea where the problem is.

Point taken. Back to the basics.
I came straight from Rodriguesstyle 1.6 with the included add-on OV/UV kernel to Kang 0.8b1 without any issues. Even got the 720p hack working beautifully
well i am using the new froyo radio with my ATT nexus one, and its been no different than the old radio. no crashes or anything. however, i had NO idea that there were 2 froyo radios. is that what someone just posted on the first page?
I have had a simmilar experienc, but it is NOT froyo related.
I was rooted, on the desire ROM
It was restarting at seemingly random (and frequent) times through the day -
I reflashed to stock 2.1.
During setup, phone rebooted.
Got through sign-in. Installed some apps. Phone rebooted.
Phone was absolutely fine, as long as I didn't touch it. I would use it - browse, etc. Seemed to be fine. Would then reboot. FLashed it up to froyo. Same.
I think it's the bad RAM issue i've seen reports of, but I'm not sure. Sent in for a replacement.
Let's hope that's not OPs issue, though the problem seems to be pointed in that kind of direction. Hope you get your situation resolved under warranty.

2.2 will not work on my Droid

I'm posting here because I don't know what else to do, my phone freezes using any froyo rom. It happens randomly and sometimes will not happen until I reboot the phone, but it makes my phone pretty much unusable. I've tried the leaked froyo rom, BB, CM 6 1&2 and countless others. I've tried wiping data / cache and formating the SD card (worked until i put my music back on), and I'm about to just try stock 2.2 and exchange it for a new one if it wont work.
Anyone else have this problem that could help me?
One thing I didn't see you do...
Have you at all root your phone to install the desired froyo rom for your phone?
Yes I am rooted, I'm currently on CM 5.0.8 and very happy but I would really like to get froyo working.
Alright. This is what I've done to get Froyo working on my Droid: I rooted my phone, downloaded BB v4 and changed the name of the file to update, installed Rom Manager on my phone(then found out I can download the roms from here as well), reboot into recovery through rom manager, wiped data & cache, selected install zip, then selected reboot phone. It took a bit to register but it converted over with BB v4.
I think I've found my problem
droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/67526-music-sd-card-causes-bb-4-freeze.html
this sounds like my exact problem, I'm going to look through my library and see if there is a corrupt file then try again
Hopefully that is the source of the issue and that'll be solved quickly. Good luck to ya

[Q] Not receiving sms using CM6 and AOSP

I, for some reason, wasn't receiving any text messages. I put stock back on and about 15 or so downloaded shortly after first boot.
What may have prevented sms from being received on the custom roms?
It seems to be an issue for some people as I have experienced it as well.
Froyo Powered HTC Hero
Just wanted to chime in since I was searching google for this issue. I have an evo and I've had this issue as well for the past two days on CM6 and a sense based rom so if you have sprint this may be an issue with them rather than the rom. I have yet to find an answer myself.
I did find the issue and it is a sms/mms database issue and can be resolved by deleting a file (which is immediately recreated and fixed). I found the answer (and regrettably didn't keep the link) in the CM 6.1 discussion thread.
Thanks for the replies.
Can you point me to that thread I'm having the same problem... Not seeing it.
Make sure your prl is current.

Backup your current ROM, wipe everything, and flash a Sense ROM. Reboot and update PRL and Profile. Then wipe everything in recovery and restore your custom ROM.

What is a "prl"? Sorry I am a nuub. I have CM6 flashed to my hero and have had it for around 6 or 7 months but all of the sudden I am not receiving SMS. I had read that if you were getting the "low space" msg that could be a cause but I cleared the space and I am still not receiving them. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to flash back to a sense based rom, then go to something like
settings > about phone > software version > system update
It should be clear from where you are what you are doing at that point, update your profile and prl from there and then go back to cm6.
Where can I get a sense based rom. I don't believe that I kept a copy before.

Missing Sms!

i first of all , i have an alltel. 3 months ago i was running CM7 i had no problems with the rom! i decided to get back to a sense Rom. i found Wildheroc 2.1 i flashed it. i notice i kept missing sms! and didn't detect my carrier! so i flashed back to CM7 (the same one) and i started to miss sms with that Rom too? then i found the new sense Rom from yesterday i flashed it last night, same results. i think somehow i messed up my phone from flashing back and forth! can anyone help me?
Try flashing back to stock using the HTC RUU. see if you still miss texts. If not, then go back to CM7 or whatever rom you want with Z4root.
try doing a full wipe and full format( wipe data,cashe and dalvic, mounts and storage, format boot,cashe,system and data you know the routine) do a full wipe again, yes do it again then reflash your rom, you should be ok after that.
i do know theres been alot of issues with the wildheroc's mms and sms. BTW, What kernel are you running ??? Just curious
