Hello everyone...So all of a sudden today i cannot get into my contacts or phone dialer. I go to my apps menu and they are no longer there..all of this was just out of no where...my Nexus One is currently on the CM 6.1.1 and the kernel that came with it... I have been running this ROM for well over a week with no issues what so ever and all of a sudden today those things dont work...tried to restore the phone from a few days ago and still the same issue.... i can still find contacts through my text messages as if i was starting a new message but if i click on the contact icon it just force closes messaging....so im curious if anyone has ever had this issue before? Any advice on what to look for or look into will be greatly appreciated
Never mind everyone got the issue fixed late last night...sorry for the useless thread
It's not such a useless thread if you post what happened and how it was fixed.
I'm sure someone else will come across the same problems down the line.
yeah the fix was simple haha...like i stated above i flashed back to a restore i did a few days ago and that didnt fix.....found out i had a restore that i did like over a week ago (same ROM and Kernel as the one that messed up) and boom! Works like a charm now...dont ask me what is different between the 2 backups i had cause there wasnt a difference just the date but its all good now

This has been happening a lot lately, I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue as well. Every time I boot up my phone an old SMS will send to its original recipient. Needless to say I'm getting tired of people asking "Why did you resend that to me?"
I'm running Cyn 4.2.3.1 (but it has occurred on his other builds as well) I'm using handcent and stock message app.
Any other additional info anyone would need to help with this issue just let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I used to get this on the early hero builds.. along with some other sms issues, but I've never noticed it since I switched back to CM..
I'm having this same issue. It seems that when I reboot my phone it clears out the text messages I've sent and received the last few days and resends one from a couple days ago.
I have had my G1 since about a month after it has come out and I have never had any problems with missing text messages. I'm a heavy texter so they are important to me. I rooted my phone a while after I got it and still never had any problems, but recently I have been have problems with getting and receiving them. I have gone through many roms from hero's to cyanogen to others without problems. But they have started about a month or two ago. I currently have Cloverdale's Blue_Haze-Eclair_2.1-v1.7 with Haykuro's special spl. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Is the problem intermittent, or do you miss your texts 100% of the time?
Do you have access to ADB so you can get a log of what's happening when you get a text?
I once couldn't receive texts because I switched from a Hero-based ROM back to a standard ROM, and the data format of the Messaging app is different. The phone would get the message, but the Messaging app would crash before saving it due to the error and I didn't have a clue until I looked at the log, so that's one possibility.
Well the problem is intermittent. I get them most of the times but there are a lot of times when I don't get them. I don't have access to ADB. Is it difficult to do that? That is an interesting perspective though. I have never thought about it that way.
i had this problem and then i had a problem where i would get the text notification and when i go to open it its like it disappears and the new text isn't there. i've had friends tell me they texted me a few times and i never got anything, i was running CM's rom and a few weeks ago i switched to super D and have not had any problems with texts whatsoever. i'm not sure if it's a rom thing or what but its weird and i racked my brain trying to figure why its happening and how to fix it. id suggest maybe using super d's rom for a few days and see if it solves anything but i swear ever since i switched i've been getting and sending all my texts
Yeahh I have had the disappearing texts problem also. So do you really think if I switch to super d that the problem will be fixed?
And also do you think you can post the link the super D page so that I can check it out? Is it updated regularly though because I also rely heavily on updated roms.
I had that problem with other Hero ROM's. It solved when I flashed the latest MghtyMax ROM. Also install Handcent SMS then go to settings and activate the "Autoretrieve", "Show pop-up" and "Self check" options.

I'm not promising anything but since I switched I haven't missed not 1 text and it's goin on about 3 weeks now and I text everyday...heres the link for the rom, you do have to have the danger spl but it's super easy to install just make sure you have the right radio. if you need any help just hit me up and i'll try my best

Awesome thanks. I think I'll give super d a try
Hy everybody. Since the data base showing similar threads and my own forum search did not come to the issue I´m having, I´m writing this in the hope someone may have an idea on my problem and help out. Hope you do.
Since I´m having trouble receiving sms from a specific number, and only that number -as far as I know- the thing started with not receiving two sms in a row. Now it happens with all kinds. 1, 2 or 3 sms in a row. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don´t. Sometimes making a nandroid restore gets them back, sometimes don´t. I see on google that many have had the same or similar issues. That is one point I´m having.
The other even more weird is that lately, whenever I nandroid restore my Milestone, ALL of the late installed apps still appear on the phone, untouched... It appears as if system settings remains the latest I had before the restore, plus what the restore had on the time the backup was made. Same happens with factory reset. Whenever I do a factory reset from the phone settings or from the recovery menu it happens the same thing. Installed apps do NOT go away as they use to weeks ago... It is the most weird thing I´ve had happening on this particular phone.
And man, as if this wasn´t enough, the sms problem is a real pain in the ass. Weeks ago a factory reset just did the trick. Weeks later the phone started evidencing the same problems. And now the factory reset is not doing what it was suposed to...
Really starting to get annoyed with Android. I started enjoying it at first, but I´m starting to see that, as time goes by, the platform easily revolves into some kind of a new bug... Frustrating stuff!.
Anyone has got any idea out there as what might be happening, and how to go about trying to solve the issue?
Any help, same experiences and ideas are very much apreciated.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
I just have updated my mobile from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4, i used this forum tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
I have issue - my phone is turning off for no reason, you know i don't have lots of apps only fb,twitter,skype and 'advanced task killer'
actually when I am doing Skype video calls, writing SMS or anything else my phone just changed to 'black screen' every couple hours and afterwards my Samsung turning off with sound. To turn on I need take battery off and then into back then he allow to turn on...
before I updated I had little bit similar situation, my phone had 2.2.1 version and i didn't have black screen, but my phone just had 'freezing' for 10 sec or more...
what's problem for? what's your suggestions ? thank you a lot.
Ed
I have this issue as well, although it doesn't happen as much since I upgraded to gingerbread. I did have it happen once the other day. I was listening to music and I needed to make a call and when exiting the music app, it froze. It then went black and I had to take battery out and put it back in. It's annoying if you got a otterbox case on it with two layers. I had heard updating to gingerbread stops this but so far I don't think it's 100%. I use my phone as my alarm and one time it went dead with a full charge and I was almost late for work.
Let me know if you figure something out.
what can say experts about our issue ?
I will take some day my mobile to repair centre.. it's sad if couple of people have same issue and nobody can tell us the problem reason.
Try to flash a custom kernel and see if it the problem is still there
can you tell me or give information what's is 'flash custom kernel' ?
I have also encountered this problem, very frequently if i may add.
the problem actually first occured a few months ago, after i updated my firmware to gingerbread.
In my case the phone does not freeze, the screen wont turn on or respond to any gestures (hardware/capacitive button won't too), however any running process still runs, in specific i can still recieve phone calls, or at least hear the ringer.
I know of many other people that encountered this problem, all came from different ROMs (MIUI, SH 3.5 and up, Stock, PilotX etc..) and i, for one, can say that in the past two-three weeks it atarted appearing a few times a day.
So - does anyone have any ideas for the nature of this BUG??
BTW I use the i9000t which i own for over 7 months now.
Same problem
Hi, I have the same problem here.
and have seen this myself on stock roms too.
It doesn't happen very often (only once on my phone for now) but it is getting me pissed off as no one knows the nature of this BUG.
could it be a problem with the latest 2.3.4 version ? or an update of one of the applications?
I don't have too many apps on my phone only skype and 2-3 games.
the only thing I can think of right now is that all people who had this bug had skype on the phone but I don't really think it's from that.
Hi, And-roid if u ll update to 2.3.4 your mobile will working deffo better, i suggest you update your mobile to 2.3.4
Hey eddys, i have 2.3.4 for over two months now, and the problem just go worst...
Hi eddys,
I have the 2.3.4 (and my brother and sister in law have it too with a stock rom).
this is happening on all roms and all kernels...maybe a problem with the 2.3.4?
I don't know but it is very weird, no one has an answer for this....
edit:
just checked this with my phone supplier and of course they have no idea what so ever about this bug.
come to think of it they didn't even know how to fix my brother in laws "problem" when the 3G internet didn't work (settings-->wireless and network-->mobile network--> check the V on Use packet data ) so no surprise there.
Anyone???
Maybe theres another forum that this problem should be posted at??
I have this bug too, but only while tethering. I've found a solution to the tethering related crashes - after you start tethering, go to the SuperUser settings, and disable root permissions for android wifi tether. Your phone shouldn't crash anymore.
hey zyczu,
unfortunately, I do not use tethering at all, do you suggest i should disable ALL root permissions?
This bug is really getting on my nerves!!!
Everything else, but this, is working great...
Since upgrading my i9000m to 2.3.3 through Kies, my phone has exhibited similar symptoms 3 times: freezing, not responding to touch etc.
The first time I had pulled the battery when it did this, but the 2nd time I had just put the phone down a minute or 2 earlier so display was off so didn't notice it(about 2 weeks ago). And the 3rd time(today), I was using it at the time, and so started taking off my rubberized case, only to have it restart before I got the chance to pull the phone back off.
Startup took much much longer than normal, which I recall the startup was similar during the 2nd "freeze & reboot". For some reason today, I randomly though maybe its an OTA update so I checked "Settings..About Phone" and found my kernel version listed as:
Code:
2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected]#2
I have no idea what it was before, but September 8th was 2 days ago... It is possible it said that before today's restart but no idea. I have a PIN on my SIM so when starting up have to enter PIN for it to work, but on these auto restarts I never got asked for my PIN so it could have restarted other times too without me noticing(ie. middle of night).
Hmm, mine used to something similar when I would leave Bluetooth on but would move out of range of a paired device. After a few minutes it would just shut down or stop responding. Haven't had that issue since moving to Milkys rom.
hi guys, i just used this tutorial http://androidadvices.com/how-to-up...0-to-stable-gingerbread-xwjvh-2-3-3-firmware/
first I installed 2.3.3 XWJVB then 2.3.3 XWJVH
just doing step by step...
my phone was working fine 2days then i had same issue and then I changed to original SAMSUNG battery and it's working perfect.
try this..
p.s. what kind of batteries you have 'original' or 'non-original' ? thank you
madmigs:
I did not notice the kernel version ive had before, however i took my phone to a service center today, and for what i can see i have the same version as you do, take aside the i9000t instead of i9000m...
eddys:
Ive been using different batteries orig/non-orig on and off, although since ive noticed it hurts performance i stopped doing that, do you suggest that this might be the cause of the problem?
If so, the factory wipe i just did (formatted the internal SD card) should do the trick.
try reading this it helped me since i turn the wi fi off when i go out

Are you guys experiencing turn-off issue while phone is in the locked state. I mean you locked the screen and then after a while when you picked it up for unlocking it was powered off. If anyone has this issue, then I found a solution. Just let me know
my turning off issue went back and it's getting every time more annoying, I don't know what to do...
Ok well I had a post before that I was having problems texting after update and root. well we thought it was the phone so verizon sent me a new one. I can receive perfectly fine but I cant send even on the new phone. I got the phone yesterday afternoon got it all set up on gingerbread rooted it then flashed with gingervolt v 1.2. Everything was working great last night then first thing this am bam no texting again. I got the v7 tot file and re flashed and it seems to be working again. For how long who knows but I am hoping someone may have a little info. Verizon has a ticket on it but something tells me it wont go anywhere.

Are you using any 3rd party programs for texting or just stock?
I've had this problem before but only with a single person, my uncle, who uses AT&T (Only person with AT&T I text. AT&T has horrible service in my area so almost no one has them here) To make it so he'd receive my texts, I would have to completely delete my text thread and send a new message. He's the only person I've had problems with and deleting the thread fixes it every time.
Perhaps Re-flashing is working because in the process it is deleting your thread? Hope this helps!
I wish it were that simple when it goes it goes and i cant text anyone
So I am guessing no one has this issue with rooting or gingervolt? I am just curious because I love the speed and stability of gingervolt but I have been afraid that its somehow the cause. Now using the tot file v7 restores it to stock right so if it were a problem with the root or gv 1.2 this would get rid of it because its 100% stock right?

Your previous post (For other users)
I've been lurking the gingerbread mod forums a lot and this is the first I've heard of this specific problem. Though that doesn't mean someone else isn't having the same problem.
You only get stuck when going into Gingervolt, but V7 seems to work for you? Have you tried staying in V7 w/o gingervolt for a few days just to see if the problem comes back or not?
Been on just straight v7 and it did it again man this is getting frustrating
I've had this problem on and off with the phone ever since i got it (so stock v4, R1.5, GV1.2). For me, it occasionally sits with the outgoing arrow moving, as if it were trying to send in area with no service. The workaround that i've used has been going to airplane mode which sometimes works, or more frequently, eating a reboot. Sometimes this results in them receiving duplicate texts. when i complained to Verizon they claimed it was common...

I used to have this issue, but it either resolved itself or something I did fixed it, but I have no idea what that something might have been.
I'm currently waiting on a replacement phone due to my USB connection no longer working, so we'll see if this problem makes a comeback. If you see me on IRC feel free to hit me up...I have some vague ideas as to what I might have changed that eliminated the issue, that's not a service guarantee though.
Looks as though its time to change forums. Verizon is switching me to a droid charge cant wait to see how this goes
