[Q] WhatsApp issue on i9000m - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having an issue with WhatsApp and I'm wondering if everyone who uses it also has the same issue I'm experiencing. I've emailed WhatsApp on a separate issue before, and they always say that it must be MY version of the i9000 (i9000m) as they are not experiencing that issue on theirs.
So I thought I'd direct them to a thread to show them its not just the i9000m's but others as well.
So for all those who have WhatsApp installed, please test this out for me and tell me if you experience the same problem. For arguments sake please put your firmware version as well. Mine is the stock KG3 on Bell Mobility.
Issue 1
1. From a chat window (one you have with your friends), send them one of your contacts. To do this, click the paper clip at the top right and choose the far right selection (the contact card).
2. Select one of your contacts that has both a phone number and an email address.
3. A list of all the contacts for that single contact should appear... hit send.
4. Now in the chat window, a button should appear with that contacts name.
5. Click that button.
6. The list should appear again. Click the Call Mobile or whatever type of number you have.
Does your phone hang then after a little while you get the
"Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpected. Please try again?" Force close appear?
Second Issue
Using the same method above, click an email in step 6. Does your email app open with something similar to "[email protected]" in the To: appear?
----
Please let me know. I'd like to get this fixed... or if its not their issue, I'd like to fix my phone somehow.
Thanks

No one has the same issue?

After doing some of my own testing:
I had a KG3 Root Kernel installed, so I was wondering if that was causing the issue.
In order to ensure I have a complete stock KG3 (2.3.3), reinstalled JL2 via ODIN so I could upgrade to KG3 via KIES.
After installing JL2, I decided to test the problem in WhatsApp. Low and behold, the issue wasn't there. But, JL2 is froyo... so maybe its a Gingerbread problem. Or more specifically KG3.
I won't know for sure until KG3 is once again installed to its complete stock condition via KIES (Downloading now).
I'll report back. If the issue is gone, then it could be one of three things:
1. Root Kernel
2. Super User
3. Busybox.
I'll report back once I figure it out.

Well it appears to be an issue with KG3. I'm completely stock now and still have the same issue in the original post.
Can any other Gingerbread users running 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 confirm the same issue please?

[Q] Official Froyo issues

Hi There
I updated my phone through Kies and got version: I9000XXJPM build FROYO.XWJP6
I did a factory reset so marked would appear and so I could start on a fresh.
Everything seems to be working okay, but my email client (not GMAIL), lags a lot, and I’m unable to delete mails using IMAP. When I delete a message and refresh, the mail just appears again. This worked on Android 2.1update1.
I tried to root my phone, hoping I could fix the lag issue, but I can’t make the 3 bottom download mode trick work. Then I looked at this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201 but got stock at step 5 and 6. I don’t know what to do and where.
Does anyone else have problems with the email client using exchange and imap? Can you guys delete imap messages?
And regarding the root issue: I only need this, so I can change my default homescreen to number 3, so if there’s a better way to do this, please help. And also if it can fix the email problems.
Thanks
-Michael

[Q] Flashed Pheonix 4.1, it's fast but email isn't working - SOLVED!

Hello everyone,
I flashed to Pheonix 4.1 last night from 3.0, previously 2.5. I had 4.03 on only for a few days and then Adam released 4.1 so I made the jump to it [image attached]. The trouble I am having with the lastest build is that email no longer functions properly. I have 2 pop accounts and one Exchange account configured and none will allow me to compose a new email message. I can touch the "compose" button but a new message window never appears. I also cannot reply or forward any email I have received, and yes all account do receive mail properly [image attached].
When attempting to reply or forward, I feel the haptic feedback buzz, a pause for about 2-3 seconds, then a force close [image attached].
Anyone have a thought what may have gone wrong for this to happen?
I'm having a very similar issue with email on Paragon v 3.0....All the email meesages in my inbox appear blank, and the program is very buggy overall....so obviously not useable. I would love to know if there is a fix of some sort, because I love the ROM
you could always pull the email.apk from a different ROM that worked, and place it in the system/app folder on the phone. see if that helps...
I'll give that a try.
Flashed Pheonix 4.1, it's fast but email isn't working - SOLVED!
I checked the file details and the Email.apk was the same back to the 3.0 ROM, maybe even futher but I didn't check beyond that. In stead of replacing it with the exact same data, I decided to remove one of my POP accounts and add it back manually because they had been restored via Titanium Backup. This step corrected the issue so there must have been some form of corruption in a config file from the restore. Good news is, this problem is resolved for me. Now I am looking into an unstable bluetooth connection to my car radio....

hmmmm any ideas if you don't have a titanium backup from the pre-ROM period? I just have a nandroid backup
Sorry, but I didn't work with nandriod backup. I rooted and went straight to a TiBu solution.

Just flashed his new GR9 and i'm curious to know, when locking the phone (tapping power button once) is the screen supposed to have a white flash-like shut off? sort of like powering of an oldschool TV. Not that big of a deal, but can get annoying.
Any good reason why the stock sms will not send txt? downloaded handcent sms and it will send just fine. but not both receive incoming, is there a way to fix this or to disable the stock sms?

That is a gingerbread thing. If you dont like it turn off animations in the display setting or use spare parts and set them to fast, that will disable that animation but increase the speed of the others.

Did you unzip the 7Z file? You'll see them then. It includes Odin 1.7 too.
Quick Question Regarding 3 Button Fix
Hey all. Getting ready to flash this Awesome new ROM from Serendipity 6.4. My question is do I need the 3 Button Fix working before I flash this? My phone lost that ability and was wondering if I should:
1)Return to stock using ODIN w/3 button fix
2)Reflash over that with ODINoneclick (saw that this might be required for GB roms)
3)Then Follow Mikey's instructions
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated!
If you use one click after the 3 button fix you'll probably lose the combo ... Just use the 3 button combo fix. You'll be on stock from there you can proceed to gingerbread.
DO NOT use that to get to stock from gingerbread!! Use one click for that.
gr 10 running now

got it running. thanks alot!! for some reason i hadnt been able to extract the files so i redownloaded the installation from a different site and then i was able to extract them. weird
Glad to assist. Trying to pay it forward for all the help I've received here.
Video tetorial?
Can someone please post a vedio link regarding installation for this rom.

Now that source is out from the SGS II, can anybody add the code that wakes up the phone when a message is received and implement that in with the AOSP Mms.apk so users that like the look/feel of the AOSP mms app can also enjoy the nice feature of their phone auto waking up when a new message is recieved?
Ill upload the two mms.apk here and rename them to easily distinguish the two apart.

I sloved my own problem, I just decompiled the mms.apk and inserted all the AOSP icons and changed out the ugly yellow bubbles for some better looking gray ones.
I'll upload once I get home for anybody who was wanting to use it.
I am wondering if anyone is having a reboot issue. My phone after installing this ROM reboots after sitting idle for any length of time... battery is at 93% (battery life is fantastic with this ROM). This is on GR 11, all flashed according to unstructions and working properly. I thought this may have been due to flashing Talon and converting to EXT4. However I re-did the installation from stock, and am still having the issue.
Anyone else having the same issue?

[Q] SMS BUG

Hello. I don't have samsung but my friend has. So will write whole situation.
He has I think known bug on android. When he has a lot of messages from one man there is a bug that messages are mixing eachother. I read that it's a problem with mmssms.db. So now:
Phone was twice in service and they reinstalled software but problem still exist. Yesterday he installed jb with Odin (stock rom but not available in Poland yet) with hope that it will fix problem. But didn't work.
1. Does he lost his varrancy when install rom in odin? Don't want to know if he may loose but if he really loose.
2. I read that only one way is to root phone and delete this file from time to time. The same question as above.
3. They said to him that one more time on varrancy and he could get new phone. Can he send it with this jb without any problem? Repeat it's not available in poland yet.
4. If he will root it then he can send it to service on varrancy with no problem?
5. Will new phone work good or it's problem with android not software?
Please give me good answer. The best from people who has the same problem, was sending phone to service after modification.
As I said I have no idea about samsung 'cause I have se lww so...

1. You could lose your warranty if you send it back with eg a custom rom, make sure to flash it back to an untouched stock rom.
2./3./5. I've never heard of this "feature" and can't reproduce it with my 20k messages. It could be rom related and it's not android related. Tried a complete, a full, wipe? Tried another SMS app or in general, what app is he using?
4. Better to flash it back to the stock rom, the samsung support teams have a checklist which includes a point with root or non rooted. You could get problems, but that's a Samsung customer support question.

After Binary Update - Cannot Make Outgoing Calls...???

Hello Everyone...
Posting here first rather than in the "Update Failure" thread because I'm not so sure I have a "failure" with the update....just an issue after the udpate.
I have 2 cloned HTC M9 phones. I say "cloned" as they are exactly the same make, model, ROM, etc (one business, one personal phone). They have the following information if needed:
Sprint HTC M9
SuperSU Free v2.65
Custom ROM ViperOneM9 3.5.0 with no custom kernal
Android 5.1
HTC Sense 7.0
Kernal (standard) 3.10.49-perf-g26c593c
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
I updated some apps this as I normally do through Google Play. A little while afterward I was prompted to update the SU Binary. I did so on one of my phones. I hit the TWRP option (on the right side of the prompt screen), nothing happened, phone did not reset so I rebooted into recovery. The update ran automatically and the phone rebooted.
I noticed two issues (perhaps there are more). The huge problem is that I cannot make OUTGOING calls. I use a custom dialer PixelPhone Pro. I click on a contact to dial and nothing happens. I type in number to dial, hit the green "send" button to make the call, nothing happens.
I also tried the stock Phone app....same thing, cannot dial out.
I attempted to update the Profile and PRL for the phone, however, as that appears to need to make a "special call" that function is not working either
The other problem I noticed is with an app I have called Quick Settings. The app is always accessible through the pull-down notifications on the phone. Although the app is still installed and functional, it no longer appears in the pull-down notifications. I tried to reset the option to show it there (turning the option off and back on) and it will not show up despite the proper setting chosen.
I still have full root access as I tried a couple root apps (such as Titanium Pro) and have full root access.
I have been prompted on my other phone to update the SU Binary and I am concerned with doing so. Any idea why this is happening and how I can troubleshoot and fit my outgoing call issue??
THANK YOU all very much!!
Scott
Hey guys....
Anyone else have this issue or similar?? So what are my options....how do I get my phone back to being able to make calls??
Thank you for your help....

**UPDATE**
Still problems....
Right after I first updated the binary the "only" problem was that I could not make calls which I could use the other functions of the phone. I rebooted the phone and I cannot reach any function of the phone because I constantly get the message "...the process com.android.phone has stopped" obviously related to the previous problems.
I dirty-flashed the ROM...that did no help. I even tried to flash an older SuperSU version (I don't know what that would have done....I'm running on HOPE now ) and that didn't help. Re-dirty-flashed the ROM a second time. Again that didn't help.
I flashed an old backup and THAT WORKED fine. Problem is that the backup is 6 months old. I could quit and totally clean/wipe/install the ROM and start again from scratch but I reeeeeeallly don't have time for that at the moment.
Is there ANY way I can simply get my com.android.phone process back?? Why did all this happen in the first place??
ANY help is greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!!!
