Alright, I am throwing this here.
For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.
Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.
I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.
My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)

Now how do I safely back track to default? flash stock then unroot? do we have the stock programming on the forums?

I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.

Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.
But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.

Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.

I started getting the double received messages with handcent for some reason. I just recently had changed to gosms, and now use stock and no more doubles with either.

I actually ordered my Bionic from Verizonwireless.com this morning.. Too lazy to haul my cookies 40 minutes away to pick one up.. I'm pretty excited to see what it can do. I haven't gotten a new cellphone in 2 yrs - had the Droid Eris. Although I liked HTC, their hardware is suckish. My Eris was replaced 4 times due to multiple hardware malfunctions. I've always heard pretty good things about Motorola. Looking forward to seeing what the Bionic community will do with this phone!

How did you set it up? It won't work for me.
I'm having some difficulty locating a link to Pete's tool, could you please post a link to the version you have working? (I also want to make sure I've got a program that is known to work, and not accidentally download something bogus.) I'll be getting mine in about an hour or so.
EDIT: I think I finally found it: www_dot_psouza4_dot_com/Droid3/
(forum won't let me post links yet.) ...Please correct me if this isn't the same one you used, though!
Just got mine. Coming from an Eris. Worst part of the experience was sitting in the Verizon store for 2 hours waiting for the slow bionic activation process of customers ahead of me.
Been playing around with it for a bit, I like it so far. Can't wait for a root to get rid of all this bloatware. It's truly absurd how many useless apps they've installed that cannot be removed.

Yes I would like to know more about this so called screen issue. I'm picking mine up this evening. Is it really as bad as everyone says it is? I had the sensation for 30 days till I returned it (T-mobile sucks) and it had a beautiful screen.

Please go back the first page and read the second post in this thread.
Well I like what everyone has done.
I am using Gingervolt, blitz 2.1 Gingerfussion 3.8 and ics tweaks
Now for some reason atleast once a day my phone will start to vibrate. The only way to stop is to pull the battery.
Has anyone run into this/
Is there a fix that I have not found while searching these forums?
Your best bet is to kill anything that involves vibrate on your phone. I used to get that every now and then, and thought it had something to do with using setcpu. When it happened after I uninstalled setcpu, turned off all vibration and haven't had that issue since.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I had that issue until I used setcpu and put the minimum at .768. Hope that helps
Gingerfused Gingervolt 1.3 + Blitz
I believe it's an issue with blitzkreig. BK 2.1 was suppose to fix that problem but I guess it didn't for some people. This only happened to be twice then went away. Others haven't been so lucky. But I would try maybe not overclocking too much and keeping the min above 245. You can check out the Blitzkreig thread in the development section too. Other people mentioned the problem there as well.
By the way I use CPU Master. Not sure if that makes a difference.
I have had this problem as well and it doesn't happen so often but I found that instead of having to do a battery pull you can hold the power button and it will stop mostly annoying that it does it since you can't stop it or do anything except restarting
Haptic Feedback
This has happened to me as well. I thought it was because of blitzkrieg 2.0 and 2.1 but still did it after reflashing to stock kernel. I think it has to do with haptic feedback because it starts while pushing home or back buttons.
I will try setting min cpu to 765.
I have not had to pull battery, it just reboots after about +/-20 seconds.
My phone does the samething vibrate for a long time every 4 to 6 hrs n then reboot not sure what to do. I uninstalled setcpu n super script running blitz 2.1 n gingervolt 1.3
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
My girlfriend's Revo is vibrating non stop once or twice a day. It is running gingervolt 1.3 and that is it. She runs very few apps and I am going to go through the list to see if there are any apps causing problems. This vibrating issued existed before rooting and installing the gingervolt. I attribute the problem to reside with the code Verizon uses to activate and install bloatware. From what I can see there is some Verizon encoded bloatware that cannot be stripped out (that is not network CDMA verification code).
I can say this phone is frustrating and really wish that android phones would be released with without carrier tweaks. I switched back to an iPhone just because at the end of the day I still have battery life, no carrier bloatware, and the music integration with my car is less problematic. The thing is - it kills me to have an iPhone from geek standpoint. I applaud google for taking a stand with the carriers and revoking the developer phone status on the samsung CDMA dev phones. The carriers really need to stay out of the firmware of these phones and just apply their configs for the device to work on their network and leave it alone from there. This would yield to more frequent official updates and possibly an android device that is much more stable (provided the manufacturer doesn't screw things up with their overlays). Sorry for the rant.
With that being said has anyone found additional solutions to vibration issue?
Thanks,
matt
The vibration issue is the phone getting stuck in the shut down process. People who run blitzkrieg have this issue, but its nothing major so hasn't really been worked on. Those not running blitzkrieg kernel, try Gingerhome ROM, then go back to gingervolt to see if that fixes it. If its constantly doing it after that, let us know.

well I've come down to the conclusion that it has something either to do with that or the notification light. for instance i only get the reset when the blue light comes on. so maybe it has something to do with the blue notification light? is there any lead on where the promblem resides?

***Update***
buttons are flashing at the bottom and it rebooted. I think I'm going to unroot & warranty the device for her. Then for valentines day buy her an iPhone and sell the warrantied Revo.
So the revolution is my wife's phone and i apologize if this was posted because i dont follow these forums.
She was having a problem with the charging port not working. The cable had to be perfectly placed in the port for the phone to charge. Called verizon and they said they are out of replacement revolutions. Offered me a Droid charge, I asked for something else, they offered me a Thunderbolt, asked again for something else and the rep said no. I very politely said I wasn't fond of either phone and asked again if there was anything else. Ended up getting the Rezound.
Just an FYI.
If you go that route don't tell them that you have had a insurance replacement I tried but I had a insurance replacement it is still being sent to me free of charge cause it is under warranty but evidently asurion has a stock pile of these I'm going to try a few times in a row to see if they will budge but with all the minor issues with this phone it's easy to get a warranty replacement. Only thing that sucks is going back to stock to send it back.

You should try porting some of those Galaxy Nexus themes for the Revo
This is the third separate thread saying you can get a better phone for the REVO.
makes me want to try it, since without GingerVolt my phone restarts all the time.

I'm still having issues with my revo I wonder if I should try getting another model from them now. I've kinda just given up lately on this whole phone and it's making me depressed -_-. I can't do nothing with it without it freezing, rebooting, getting way to hot to touch, etc.
I just hate that the bluetooth never worked rooted or not. I try to be legal when driving and the bluetooth always failed.

I'm not sure what your Bluetooth issue is, but I don't think it's the phone. I've used mine with two different stereos for making calls as well as streaming audio with no issues at all.

Going to be down and out for a while, having problems with my replacement phone (random reboots) ARGH!
In order to trouble shoot it, Big Red wants me to leave it booted into safe mode (which means I can only use system apps) for a few days. If it happens again in safe mode (OMG this phone is worthless without any apps!) they will do a warranty swap and give me a different phone. They didn't say what phone they'll give me but put it in the notes that if I call back in with the same problem to give me a new phone.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed that it does is soon, it's going to be a pita not having Google Nav, Pandora, or WiFi Tether while at work
Edit: They tried to tell me that it's a known issue for the phone to reboot when switching between 3G/4G. They also tried to tell me it could be an app that's causing it or a corrupt file on my sdcard and that's why the replacement phone is having the same problem. Sounds like a load of BS to me.
Sorry to hear that. Hope everything goes well!

Going through the same process, my phone still has random reboots even with V8. And they said that all of them were fixed. I'm on my 3 revo, 2nd replacement.
wow wierd
havent heard that one before... im still on my first revo and thought by now i would have gone through a couple of them, keep us posted. although after changing everything i would think that would solve it.
So yea this new phone they sent me............. it sucks!!!! Tried to use it to call someone they couldn't hear me but I could hear them. No random reboots yet in 12 hours.

True. I have a feeling that I'll run into the same situation as Kane did since I have the same problems and I have a feeling if they give me another Revo it'll just do the same thing.
I tried to get something a little newer, but the rep wouldn't budge ... I'm ok with getting a bionic, it's what I wanted to begin with but it wasn't out at the time.
My third phone didn't have the random reboots, it would become unresponsive and the only way to get it to work would be to either press the power button on and off or pull the battery.
