Hello Everyone,
Okay so I'm fairly new to rooting but I understand the majority of the concepts and how to do it. I've run into a few minor problems that could prove to be incredibly annoying in the future.
I just flashed my SGS with the Infinity ROM following all the instructions to the T. I first went to the EZBase thread and did what they instructed then flashed the Infinity ROM. I did back up everything with Titanium Backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
Everything thing went well and was quite easy. I reinstalled titanium and last time I flashed my phone I restored everything related to contacts, ie: Contacts v1.0 etcetc and my contacts came back. Well I did the same here and I've lost all my contacts.
I received a text from my friend (which automatically synced with her FB profile EVEN though she hasn't got her number on her FB). I go to text her back and all the texts I tested failed. I try texting two other people, all fail. I can received texts, make and receive calls. I even have internet. Whats up with that?
Thanks for your help :>

Hey guys, I'm having a SMS timestamp issue since rooting and installing SenseUI rom and CM rom.
Note, this did -not- happen on the stock n1 rom. I'm currently in China using China Mobile so I haven't been able to test this back in the states (TMobile) yet.
Basically, when I send a message to anyone (android, iphones, etc), their received timestamp of my message is 7-8 minutes in the past. Obviously this is quite the annoyance for threaded messages on smartphones. I can replicate this by sms'ing my own phone and the timestamp of the received message is 8 minutes before I sent it.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've even nandroid restored my original backup and the issue is still happening. I've turned on/off the "get time from network" settings, updated radio and redowngraded, tried 3-4 different roms, but nothing is working.
Anyone seen this before or have any ideas? Frustrating the hell out of me!
anyone have any ideas?
Hi Peeps,
For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"
I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.
It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.
I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.
I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"
Thoughts on a postcard?
Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.

I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.
The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.
One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity
Give it a go if u dare and see what happens
Let me know how u get on...
Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?

Hi,
this never happened to me before on my Legend.
I'm using handcent sms, but don't know if it has something to do with that, with the OS (used handcent on my Legend too) or my carrier provider.
When I write loads of sms with a friend, it happened already 3 times that suddenly I got a reply from someone completely unknown (unknown number), informing me about that he/she (wrongly) received this sms from me that should have been sent to my friend. My friend then didn't get that sms, although it's correctly listed in the appropriate sms "thread" for my friend's contact and NOT in the new thread created for this unknown number.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I think it's even more strange since this number isn't in my contacts and it's completely unrelated (not just a few numbers swapped, but a completely different carrier).
Has anyone experienced something like that?
This happened to me 2 times on stock Froyo and yesterday on Gingerbread..
Thanks for any help

That's due to a bug with Android itself.
This was fixed with version 2.3.3, so if you get your self a GB(2.3.3) rom, all will be good.
That's strange, I'm already on gingerbread.. still it happened yesterday or the day before.
Handcent is your culprit!
Got myself into a LOT of trouble with the right msg going to the wrong person... LOL
get yourself chomp which is better in this aspect
or use the default app..
Ive been running serendipity 6.4 for a few days now and love it.
Everything works great except when someone tries to call me I get a weird audio tone and then the person calling me gets forced to voicemail after one ring.
And on my end I never even see the call coming through, am thinking of flashing cognition if I cant get this resolved....
Any ideas?

Bad flash or you restored apps and system data. Never heard of that on 6.4.

Yeah, I've been having a similar problem. When somebody calls me, my phone rings once or twice, then the signal inexplicably disappears. The caller gets some att message that the network is down, but I never had this problem before.
yeah it's a common occurrence if you restored system data
so when i did my titanium backup i should of just restored user apps but nothing else??
So is there any way to fix other than reflashing?

hmmm... I followed a vid on flashin cognition to a tee.
It was a 3 part video...cant find the link right now,
but several ppl said to follow it exactlly for flashing cog or serendipity, and in the vid im sure the guy said to restore all user apps and data which is what i did...
so next time just do missing apps and data?
I think i might just reflash and not restore anything backed up, if i dont restore backup files whats the worse that could happen? just have to setup apn,widgets,contacts and apps n crap again? or is it a step i must do?
just want to be able to receive calls again and not screw it up the second time, other than the one ring then dropped calls everything works great
Can I restore my contacts? I'd hate to have to find all those phone numbers and type them in again.

Sync to google, then re-sync when you flash.
i reflashed serendipity and this time only used titanium backup for missing apps and data and my calls are now working fine.....
My contacts are gone tho, and i dont have them setup in google to sync with, is there a contacts file in titanium that i could restore???
thanks

Ive never once had a problem with restoring contacts, just go into titanium, find contacts in the list and hit restore
should be called [CONTACTS/CALL STORAGE], just restore that part and all should be fine
Thanks, I synced my contacts from Google, and everything was fine. Now, for some reason, contacts crashes whenever I try to open it, and I get "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly".
A while ago I updated to the latest version of Bad Boyz KK from the previous, and all was right with the universe. One day, I realized that outgoing MMS, Data Profile update, and PRL update all broke at once. I tried every trick in the book, and the only thing that fixed it was a full wipe and fresh install. Now, a few weeks later, the symptoms are back again, and I'd like to know if anyone has a fix for these "m7 data herpes" that keep coming back before I wipe and flash again.
More to the story: since the symptoms have been happening, my SMS recipients have informed me that my texts usually come in as duplicates or triplicates... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
