I recently started using Firefly 1.5 as of yesterday. It was working fine until this morning. I recently am not able to go on the web on my phone via the browser or facebook/twitter apps, and I am having issues receiving text messages as well. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a possible fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first Android device and I just want to take the proper steps to fix any issues. Thanks in advance.
Is anyone else having issues using the app HeyTell? The only ROM i can get it to work properly on is the stock AT&T 2.1, it doesn't even work on the stock 2.2 update. Basically on stock 2.1 I can send and receive messages perfectly without missing a message or having to close the app. If I update to 2.2 or flash a custom ROM, I can send about 2 messages and then it stops sending or receiving, I have to close the app and then try to send the message again. Once I open the app again, whatever the person sent to me is lost and they have to send it again.
Just putting this out there, I have emailed the developer and they are stating that they have no issues. I don't know what else to try, I have cleared the app's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, I am out of ideas.
I've never even heard of this app before... I'll install it now and tell you how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously have no friends on this at the moment... But I've been clicking around the app and it seems fine? I'm using Paragon RC6 right now. The GPS/Map component seems to be working fine anyway... I can't really send a voice clip or message through it (no-one to send it to).
EDIT2: Okay, I somehow sent a voiceclip/message to myself and I've recorded it, sent it, and then received it fine. I'll keep playing around with this a little bit further in the morning.
I really appreciate it, it will work at first, and then just stop sending and receving, the little sending icon just spins and spins...then you have to force close it and then start it again, then it works for a few messages and then stops again.
I'm having the same problem with the HeyTell app. It's pretty much hit or miss for me, sometimes it works good for a while, sometimes it sends blank messages. I have a ton of friends using this app on iPhones or other Android devices and they aren't having problems at all.
I have emailed the developer and he states that it works perfectly for him on his phone, whether or not that is true, I am not sure.
Not trying to thread jack but for some reason my hey tell doesn't get messages on time. I'll be next to a buddy and I'll get a message that he sent hours ago. Does anyone else have this issue? I just have the 2.2 froyo update, no custom roms.
I thought for sure HeyTell would work on Official 2.2 as well but I have the same issue your stating. Like I said though, the developer states he has no issues...I am not sure what is going to happen.
HeyTell Support
Are you sure you contacted HeyTell support? I don't have any record of sending a "works for me" answer on a report like this...drop me another email to refresh my memory at [email protected] if you can - thanks in advance!
So! We're aware of an issue on the Galaxy S series phones (Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, Vibrant) introduced by 2.2 firmware (Samsung only, 2.2 makes HeyTell better on other phones). Symptoms appear to be spotty network reporting, media player issues (inconsistent record behavior), and the OS killing HeyTell during screen dims.
We're currently working hard to find a workaround for affected users (and trying to get more info from Samsung), but in the meantime, if you could do us a favor and email us your firmware revision number and any logs you have related to the behavior, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Since I had the issue with Stock 2.2 and not with Stock 2.1 I am running Stock 2.1 until there is a fix. If your asking me for logs I cannot help you there unless I put 2.2 on my phone. i am currently running HeyTell version 181, I am willing to load 2.2 and work with you and get you information, just let me know. I love this app, but my phone is kinda laggy and slow running 2.1 and I want to be running 2.2.
I"m also using HeyTell on 2.2 and having quite a bit of troubles. I'd be happy to send you logs if you could explain to me how to do so. Thanks!
Just a little update, I finally got tired of stock 2.1 last night and decided to try out MIUI. I was pleased to find that after sending more than 10 messages back and forth, HeyTell has not failed yet.... I will be testing all day at work today, I am not sure if they updated the app or if something in MIUI allows it to work. I just thought I would update those few of you that have had the same problem as me.
Everything is still working fine with HeyTell, I am running MIUI Beta 6 and HeyTell is working perfectly. I did notice an update to from the market, I am hoping that could be a fix for other cutom Roms and Stock 2.2.
As MIUI has no samsung crap in it, it should work fine, since it seems to be a samsung issue. Runs fine on CM7 as well.
We put a workaround into builds 1.1.3 -- that fixed it for stock, but didn't catch all of the custom ROMs, so we spun 1.1.4 - give that a whirl and it should work. If anyone runs into this issue again, shoot us an email with your model number (Menu > Profile > Email Support sends this to us, so that may be the fastest method, but also don't forget to include a description of the issue you hit).
Oh sweet so HeyTell should be working fine now with stock 2.2? I will test it now, thanks alot!
Ever since I downloaded the update the app works great! Thanks!
Hey Tell Message Queue Issues
I've been having a problem for a while now where message don't come in automatically, as if they're caught up in the queue somehow. I have to exit HeyTell multiple times, manually click on the message, hit the stop and play buttons, or multiple combinations of all of these just to get a single message to play sometimes. I'm using a Samsung SGS3 with Synergy. Any way to fix this issue? Thanks much!
First i want to thank hashcode and everyone who has helped him for the Great ICS build =] I realized that most the posts in the ICS development thread were becoming troubleshooting to basic problems [some by me ], so i decided to make this thread to help others.
Before you post with a problem make sure you have wiped /data/cache/dalvik and done a full factory reset. Also tried installing again. Please also state if you restored your google settings. This will help speed up the process in helping you.
Below are a list of fixes for bugs that have yet to fixed in an updated release, if there are more fixes please tell me and ill add them here. Have fun ;]
Input Selection Keyboard Fix by Androidsims
Go to /system/app and delete OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk and the chinese and japanese input methods will be gone. Along with the icon in the top. If you have another keyboard installed [such as swype] the icon will still show.
Apps are a bit laggy
use Rom Toolbox to set your VM heap size to 88m. I cant remember where but it was said that this is best to achieve a smoother experience with ICS.
Watch Videos on ICS
use the latest vlc for android. Have to click on videos via root explorer or another file manager app. Opening app directly just causes a force close.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517415
I also ran into my audio disappearing when a call was connected. I went back into safestrap recovery, repeated the wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvik without having to reinstall ICS and audio was back. Anytime things start getting buggy this is usually my first step before reinstalling.

I combed the ics forum and found issues similar to this but they were solved with methods mentioned above. The fact that you tried all this already makes me feel the problem is unique to u. Try booting into nonsafe and see if you have the issue then. Sorry for the late reply btw

Better that no reply thanx for the help. But I have installed multiple different roms so far and they all work fine, and last time I was in non-safe mode it worked fine but im not sure if at the time ics was installed on my safe system(not sure if that matters or if that is what you were implying or not). So on BT you can make calls and receive calls with no issues? Mine is kinda weird, when I make a call the static is speratic, when I dial out every time it rings there is static and then I can hear the ring (constantly), when in a conversion every couple of words of the caller is static as well.

Not me. If you scan drom page and past in the ics thread someone was talkin about that issue. I can't remember the exact page and I'm on my phone but look in those sections. There issue was different however but I believe it was still solved with a wipe. I think they wiped the delvik too. But I've read all the posts in the that thread though, I don't think there was anything about static. I reccommend you go ask in there because hash can probably help best.

My biggest complaint (maybe user error):
Pandora isn't playing audio over my car speakers via Microsoft SYNC. I get successful connection with my car, but I just can't get it to play through the speakers.
Haven't had a chance to test out other media apps.
Does it use cable, 3g, or bluetooth to hook up to the speakers? and to the person before, i havent seen a solution at all with the bluetooth, i think it something Hash will have to fix
Sorry forgot to specify. This is via Bluetooth.
I haven't tried USB or 3.5mm connections yet. I don't keep them in the car since I haven't needed them before.
Edit: I should also mention that audio does play through the phone's speaker. So even though it's connected to BT I'm still only getting sound from the phone's speaker.
Ah thats what i was thinking. I think these bluetooth issues need to be brought to Hash attention as its more than one person experiencing problems with it. And its seems to be solely with bluetooth. You shuld report a bug with it to him in his tracker here
http://www.hash-of-codes.com/tracker
As for help i can tell you to make sure you also wipe your dalvik. I have forgot to mention that to people. Instructions from hash ;] Other than that because im no hashcode i really cant code anything to fix the bluetooth. Report it thought and hash might be able to fix it in Alpha 3
Thanks. Yeah I've been looking for a place to provide feedback and just ended up here.
How do I wipe dalvik? I've seen that mentioned every where along with cache data, but I got list on dalvik.
Boot into safestrap, go down to advanced and click that, and then you should see it. its the second or third option i believe
I must have looked over it. Thanks, I'll check it out.
On another note, 3.5mm plug in works fine in the car. Also, I connected via Bluetooth again and tested out calling. Hands free calling seems to work fine with SYNC.
If hands free calling is working clear then it might be an app error. Is this error with your nonsafe rom? If not then I'm thinking their are still some compatibility issues between apps. I'm going to email both app developers and see if they still have bugs with ics or know anything.
Edit: I reread the thread again. Also look into your settings. The fact that the phone isn't even trying to send the audio over bluetooth is sounding like it doesn't know it has to. Make sure all the settings for both apps are correct and that this function is availible for this. I'm going to do a little research before I email the devs for help and ill tell you what I find
I still have safe boot enabled.
I forgot I was going to try out Amazon Cloud Player. I'll test that tonight yet. I also have to test Pandora since wiping dalvik. Not sure how much of a difference it would make.
I did double check the settings both times I've tried it. I don't think I've looked over anything. So maybe there are compatibility issues with the Pandora app. Cloud Player may be a good test to that.
Amazon Cloud Player does the same.
Turns out SYNC doesn't see my contacts. I have to use the phone to pick a contact but the dial tone plays over the car speakers. I'm thinking it is a Bluetooth issue related to this alpha #2 build.
Hello.
I recently dusted off my Australian Velocity after the Nexus 5 went for a swim at the beach. I have S-off, rooted and installed the albinoman ROM.
There are a couple of issues I have noticed so far.
The 4g connection is patchy at best. Not very stable at all but I can live with that.
The battery indicator is acting strangely it stays in 100% for ages but then it starts going down very quickly until it gets to 14% where it stays for a long time but once it gets past that it just goes to full discharge very fast.
I am having the same issue that many other guys and my MMS capabilities are not working. The phone just stays sending or retrying but messages never leave.
Any suggestions about what to do? I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM a few times and it makes no difference.
On the other hand I love the overclocking capabilities makes the phone feel a bit more responsive.
Thanks and keep up the good work

As for the 4G connection, once you've accumulated 10 posts you should mention this in the CM 11 ROM thread and ask if the APN needs to be any different than normal (or if the mod changes the APN). The battery issue should get fixed if you let it fully charge and fully discharge about 3 times. The MMS capabilities is a known issue; try the specific nightlies that albinoman recommended to fix the MMS issue. New nightlies might break previous fixes and stuff.
Same Issue
I'm having the same issue here for AT&T HTC Vivid, none of my MMS were sent, nor have I received any. It's really essential for me cuz of my group, clubs have MMS and inorder for me to get those notifications I need MMS.
Calls are okay, but there are times where there's no sound on the other caller, so to fix that I end call and call again, which fixes it.
One final issue I've been having since Jellybean and Kitkat is the proximity for when calls, it does not respond. So i have to turn on Settings>Accessibility>Power button to end a call, because the phone's screen stays black during call, and 10-30 seconds after call. Camera is okay too, but doesn;t function well in video recording in apps like Snapchat and Instagram.
Overall, it's a great ROM by albinoman, I wish the Sweep2Wake is soon embedded, that's really great and wayyy better than the power button.

Thank you very much.
I tried Albinoman suggested rom and I still have issues with MMS.
The battery indicator is normalising as you said it would.
I know about the 10 posts count but it is hard for me to just write a post for the sake of getting the count up.
Yeah, I hear ya, I've been there before too. The posts will generally come easily and quickly posting to q&a and general, so you're on the right track

Similar question
I'm also in Aus.
Been running CM versions now for over a year.
The new CM11 has been trouble free, with one quirky problem. I manually set my network preference to 2G at one desperate battery extending moment.
Now i can't find how to select "4G"??? When i use the preferred network type i only have 2 or 3G as options.
When i search for available networks i get an "error"

Well, I just did what you did, and rebooting does not fix it, nor does clearing the data of various apps installed. I'll post this to the CM11 thread and see if any answers or ideas are brought to light.

Many thanks, i saw the post!
Yeah I tried clearing everything. Did a manual reinstall of the APNs using a number of different configs.
Did the wipes ....... did a little dance .... pulled the battery and sim ...... sacrificed a small packet of tofu (no goats, i like goats) The gods of mobility have still not smiled my way.
Wont find networks when i do a search yet am nicely connected, can make calls etc etc.
thanks for trying. If i get no joy will reflash a nightlie and see if it resets?!
Yeah, although wiping the caches didn't do the trick, reflashing a nightly (along with wiping data, cache, and dalvik-cache) should take care of the problem. If you are really attached to your app settings, look into titanium backup for backing up your apps along with their data; it's also the way I save my WiFi passwords.

If you don't like my dialer solution... I have found 2 xposed mods that do what you want...
Intelli3G... And GravityBox...
They both hook the dialer to force network changes...

Hi, tried the dialer solution and no joy.
Installed INtelli3G but it needs the xposed framework which simply won't install. Have tweaked instal options appropriately so it should???
Mike
EDIT My bad, didn't like installing from bluetooth transfer, downloaded on phone worked .... will test I3G
Fixed
Many thanks rignfool
I installed xposed and Intelli3g and with a bit of mucking around now have 4g back!
Seems to work, have 4g 4 bars!
My initial attempts to force lte caused me to have no coverage (I was at work in North SYd so good LTE normally).
Using the "use all" option in Intelli3g, a reboot and swapping around towers was the trick for me.
Thanks again
Mike
Awesome! Do you want to make a step by step instruction set on how to fix that? I would like to know, and I'm sure a newbie who runs into the save problem would really appreciate it.

Hi All,
I have been having this problem with any firmware based on stock .290 and .136. Be it Whatsapp or Line or Viber. Anything that sends an Audio message comes out garbled, which is extremely annoying.
The weird thing is.. this becomes PERFECTLY fine when I open the the SIM card port.. I seriously fail to see the connection to MIC performance here.. with the port being open! so it's just weird!!
I have downgraded to .257 for now due to this bug.
Can anyone on .290 or .136 try whatsapp audio messages and see if the problem exists for them too?
Thanks all!
LaMMi
You have 2 microphone on Z1, when you record the voice message, speak to the one on top behind Led Notification/Phone Call Speaker.
BTW, Whazzapp always had this problems.
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem neither..
It's really weird because it affects normal phone conversations as well but not as much.. I can use what's and click on the paperclip icon and actually RECORD a voice clip and it will come out fine... just when I use the audio button, it comes out garbled!
So damn weird!
Probably cheap codecs and the option in Whazzapp was always like that and many reported to have problems. Maybe with the next update Whazapp will fix that but now how do that I don't know. Just use different app to record voice messages and send them via whazz.
Download the new beta of WhatsApp here before it hits the Playstore.
It seemed to have solve the problem for me

As stated in this topic. The only alternative is to click the thumbnail icon in a chat, select audio and choose what's app recorder.
That will allow u to send a voice note the old fashioned what's app way without the garble. Even still I've experienced app and phone freezes when trying to listen to voice notes via what's app. So hopefully the next update fixes it.

Thanks all for the replies...
glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this problem.
I will surely report back when I have more details/fixes
Just updated to MonX .136 and installed the beta whatsapp version suggested by slimldj..
whatsapp still has some form of garbled messages but it's 90% fixed.. it's good enough for me to use 4.3 based rom now!
I hope others will find this information useful.

I was going to post a new topic specifying this exact problem (although my phone doesn't seem to benefit from opening the SIM flap).
This garbled recording is driving me nuts, it worked fine on .257. I'm also in a Z1 (C6906) .290 based rom (iHackers).
Is there some way this problem can be solved? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Aldo!
I was having this problem actually all the way until around 3-4 days ago when Whatsapp got updated. I was using the workaround by "attaching" an audio clip instead of pressing down the button to speak.
Without changing rom (Monx .136), I just updated whatsapp to version 2.11.175 and now it is working 100% fine now.. The audio comes out clear and loud when played back...
Hope this helps, please post back of your results!
