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.

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?
I have not received a text for about 3 days. It started when my sister asked why I hadn't responded to hers. I figured it was just a hiccup on the network. I was able to send her a text fine and make and receive calls fine, but no texts come in. I'm running on CM6.1 and hadn't had any problems with it. I tried uninstalling recent applications, and I even did a factory wipe and re-install of my ROM and mods, as well as all of my apps and I'm still not having any luck. I haven't yet called Sprint, as I'm afraid that they won't know anything or will give me grief for using a non-stock software (perhaps they won't even know); or maybe I'll just stop into the store sometime soon.
Anyway, I've read a few things about this, such as people removing apps and it alleviating the problem. I figured it was just a space issue, like once the phone dips under a certain amount of on-board storage it doesn't download them. I had a similar problem where it wouldn't sync e-mails until I got 2.2 firmware and did App2SD. But my storage isn't really low enough for that to make sense. I tried re-installing the radio that I use to no avail... I just really can't figure this out.
If anyone could give me a leg up on this problem, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks,
Mike
What rom are you running? Is your prl up to date? Current is 60674. Nand, flash a Sense rom, send and receive a few texts, update your profile and prl, then nand restore back to your rom. People have had success with that.

I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod that is listed for my phone, which is 6.1.0, released about 2 weeks before I started experiencing the problem. I have the PRL file and have it on my SD card. Is there any way to do this without flashing to a different ROM?
I had the same problem. Downloaded Fresh ROM. Did a nandroid, flashed Fresh, updated prl, opened maps for a good GPS lock for safe measure, then just restored my nandroid of Cyanogen. Worked flawlessly, and took 20 minutes. Definately the best fix, and the nandroid restores everything to to the way it was, so it's no headache at all.
I'm downloading the stock RUU and I have Fresh downloaded. Nandroid keeps getting stuck on data... about to just go for it.
Don't flash the stock RUU or you'll have to re root.
Well that's not too hard. But what sucks is when Fresh Sense keeps crashing... then when you go to restore, you get an MD5 mismatch... Yeah, it won't restore my backup because it didn't complete and got stuck. Looks like I'm wiping and re-flashing CM6.... again.
Well, somehow I had a working backup from yesterday, the 24th, at some point. It won't be exactly where I left it... but it'll be close. Hopefully I got all the updates I needed via Fresh. Fingers crossed.
The way I got it to work was to flash a Sense ROM. As soon as the ROM loaded, all the texts came in. Also while on Sense, update your PRL.

Try all of those and for whichever the phone calls work, take note of that. And then also I'd like for you choose what you like the best. Also did you try the update prl/pri on a sense rom? Try doing it on the rom you're on now
And glad to see it worked for ya bud

FYI the functionality of the dialer is hard-coded into the phone, not each ROM, so if it works at all, it works. Sometimes phone and data issues can be solved by updating PRL and profile as suggested, but it sounds like your issue may have been simply your carrier at the time. If a phone can call out, it can call in, and vice versa. It may have something to do with the fact that you are flashing Sprint ROMs for a Chinese carrier, but who knows. There are a few members in these forums that are on your same chinese carrier and are running aospCMod without issue, one member in particular is called "oldghost", maybe you should PM him and see if he has had any issues, and what ROM best suits the needs of the Chinese version of the heroC. Good luck.

Yes oldghost uses a Chinese carrier and I don't think he had any issues at all. But first try updating the prl/pri
Interesting. I just realized I'm seeing similar since (I think) flashing 4/29 aosp 2.3.3. Thought I had just messed up on a setting or something. Incoming calls are going straight to voicemail. I see them almost immediately in the call log on the phone, but no ring or any other indication. The only other record of the call would be the voicemail notification after a bit.
Now, my assumption here is that I messed up on my last flash, so I'll go back and do a redo, including going back to a sense rom just in case.
I was coming from 4/21 aosp 2.3.3. Before the 4/21, I did get rid of firerats, installed fresh, updated prl (now at 60678) and profile, though I think that's been current for me for a while.
I then installed 4/21 from scratch (fr 110/4).
Radio has been current.
4/29, I just wiped caches and flashed over.
Like I said, I'm sure I just messed up at one of these points. I don't know for sure when I stopped receiving calls. I don't get a lot of them, so it took me a while for the loneliness to kick in. It IS possible that I messed up on the 4/21 even.

Try troubleshooting the problem by doing the following things one at a time to see if they work:
- Try a different radio that works for the SPRINT HERO CDMA ONLY (else you will brick your phone, if you need help finding radios let me know)
- Try without firerat's
- Try wiping everything using the latest official clockwork mod 3.0 after backing up everything
- Try s0be's kernel
- Try the official CM7 v7.0.2
i can come up with more options for you to try one by one but that should last you for about an hour or so
after doing all those let me know what happens
Actually, got this working again.
flashed aosp 2.3.3 4/29 clean, removed firerats, etc (since my next step would have been to put on a sense rom).
clean install seemed to fix the problem. Able to receive calls.
then for fun... did the full factory reset and wipe wipe wipe again, installed this time WITH firerats (100 20), bumped the cache size for the hell of it.
That worked as well. Calls being received. I think something just got hosed, or my original 4/29 install, which was just a cache wipe and flash over, didn't go so well.
Still figure it was user error on my part somewhere along the line, but all is well for me now.

if a rom isn't broke, don't fix it...stick with gingerbread, its fresh out the oven

i downloaded and have been running asops 2.2 rom but i just changed my phone number with sprint and I cant figure out how to update the msid. obviously sprint cant help me since im not using stock rom. anyone know where to look or an app i can download, because under settings: about phone: phone status: shows my old phone number, and i cant make calls or send msgs because of it.
they kept giving me ## codes but they wont work it just tries to dial the number.
Sorry woulda responded sooner, been busy. You need to flash a sense rom to use dialer codes our have sprint modify the phone or account info tied to it.
ugh... ok can you recommend a quick and simple rom so i can do that real quick
hate flashing it takes forever without a highspeed usb. anyways, downloading a sense rom now. thanks
arrg! ok i downloaded and flashed over to herocs 2.2 sense rom, tried doing the ## codes and nothing happens.
anyone??? im kinda screwed here.. cant use my phone until i get the prl updated
If all you need to do is update prl, and you have a sense rom flashed, you can do that from phone settings. I believe it is under "about phone".

Just use LiquidSense to update it.
what is liquidsense?
this is the rom i flashed to for temporary purposes
It is a 2.1 Sense ROM that can be found in the Development section.
well i guess no need to worry about this anymore, the charging dock on my phone is now broken or something because nothing will charge my phone.
Try a different battery. Or a different usb cable.

ok i was in panic mode earlier being without my phone and all...
got liquidsense, updated all info. all good there. however when i flashed back to aosp rom its suddenly really glitchy, i cant get passed the "touch the android" set up screen!
attempting to reflash and see if that helps any...
nope....man this is a nightmare. btw gave thanks to everyone who replied in this post.
well... i flashed back to LS and even that one glitches out at the set up menu. so im still nowhere with my phone.
**UPDATE**
i found a backup copy of aosp rom that i originally downloaded in another folder on my sd. everything is working just fine now couldn't have done this without your help (all of you)

Glad you got it up and running.
First Just for your future reference so your not crappin all over yourself.lol (Been there) If you haven't already make a nadroid of the LS Rom or sense Rom that you used.
Second,I believe alot of the people around here that flash between sense and CM and AOSP do a factory rest or wipe from fastboot(look in this guide for instructions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843 by forum memeber il Duce )the reason being is that (from what I've read) is that sense roms leave bits and pieces of files behind that can corrupt a flash,or make you phone wonky after it boots up.
P.S. If you ever have to RUU or unroot when you re-root makea nandroid of that after you root and keep it some where safe so you can go back to it.
Yes, wipe data, cache, and dalvik every time you change roms. Especially between sense and aosp. The only exception us when flashing an update to the rom you're currently running. Even then, it may require a cache and dalvik wipe. Wipes are not necessary when restoring a nand. Also, keeping a sense nand is a good idea, as out makes it quicker when prl updates are needed.

Hi,
I have searched and searched and cannot find an answer.
I am running virtuous_infinity-v1.31.0-alpha2
My gmail app seems to have a very long delay or not at all for receiving or syncing new emails.
If I run CM7.2 its pretty much instantaneous.
Prior to installing virtuous infinity i formatted the sd card and from within the 4ext recovery i wiped the cache and dalvik and formatted all by the sd card.
Help anyone??

I have the same issue. I'm on ICS WWE version with the 3.0 kernel. On my Acer A510 with ICS and using the 2.6._ kernel, no issues at all.
Could it be kernel related? Be curious to find out.
Have you two tried different roms?
i tried icecold and nik aura, both have no such issues.
Ice cold works fine. I would be running it but no mms. Currently running the rooted stock ics with sense 3.6 and have the same issue.
The rom is by tpblake i think.

I'm going to be running Nik's v4 rom shortly. I will report back.
Installed Nik_Project_X_v4_By_Nikhil007_IncredibleS this morning. Performed a full wipe. Will do some testing and report back.
1) hello, i'm using this rom for a day and sometime my phone display the error "sorry gapps[..] have crached[etc...]"
I don't have the right message sorry. Where doest it come from ? gapps = google apps no ?
2) after google backup system restored my contact and mybackup root restored my call history, the phone doesn't make the link between them.
=In the history it display only the phone numbers but not the name of the contact.
thank you for this "incredible" work
just wanted to update this.
Never got the gmail app to syn like it does in a gingerbread ROM. So i installed tasker and synker. This allowed me to force an auto sync. set it 10min (can be configured) and the gmail app is working sufficiently for me now.
Still love the Project X4 Rom.
