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...
Aw: [q] sms bug

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.

Hello there.
I have a big problem, recently i decided to root my X8, install xRecovery, and finally flash GingerDX v019 so i could enjoy the benefits of 2.3 on my phone, since SE's costumer service and device support just suck.
Everything is working just fine, including wi-fi and data transmission, bluetooth, etc, except for one big thing: the phone calls (incoming and outgoing)
The weird thing is, after i reboot the phone, i can make or receive one call, but just one... after that if i try to call anyone it just says "call ended", and if someone tries to call me, they hear the service providers message instead of my phone ringing.
I have GingerDX v019 with no add-ons and stock kernel, i've installed a few apps but no task manager/killer... Help?
Thank you in advance...
P.S: I can however send and receive sms's without problem, and i've installed Go Contacts EX/dialer as suggested in another thread to a user with this problem on GDX v015.
The only way for now that i found to prevent this bug is to have the data connection always on (on stock 2.1 i turned everything off when i was not using and never had a problem)
Full wippe install again gdx via cwm full wippe and it should work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I installed via xRecovery, you think that might be the problem?
Yes it is. You must install gdx via cwm. Try and you will see that everything work
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
It will be a major pain in the a** installing and configuring everything again, but if that's what i have to do... Thank you very much
UPDATE: Just installed via CWM, and my little-big bug seems to be dead and buried, Thank You once again :-D
No problem....

Hey, I am wondering if you can help. My mate just got an X8 from ebay but cannot make calls from it, much like what is described above. Is there a guide on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your time and help
Cheers
Chris
The problem i had was caused by changing the software and flashing a custom rom the wrong way. If your mate cannot make calls from it and the phone is in stock condition (with the original software), then the problem is the phone itself. I suggest a complaint to the person that sold the phone and if that does not solve the problem, report the person to eBay. If the payment was made via Paypal, the refund is almost immediate.
Yes friends, I'm really in trouble my OB. Two days ago, I flashed a patched ROM to get my phone rooted through the smartflash method. Everything went OK, but short time after, I realized that my 3G/GSM signal was completly unstable.
The phone gets the signal but only for a while. Then, it loose it. Can't call, can't receive, no 3G. Full disaster!!!
So, since two days ago I'm eating every LG forum trying to find the solution, but it's impossible, no way, I'm about to throw my phone through the window.
So, pleeeaaase, could anyone help me???
From my forum lectures I could imagine that is anything involving baseband, or perhaps some network config in the service menu "3845#*970#".
My spanish network works in GSM900/1800 and WCDMA2100
I've tried to flash several STOCK firmwares with the same result: no luck.
Please, any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

First of all Question belong to Q&A section...
try a stock based custom rom like zeus, marvel or supressed or a non-stock AOSP like CM7... maybe is a hardware malfunction...
First of all, sorry about the wrong section I posted this thread, and thanks for the reply.
I don't think it's a hardware issue, because the phone was Ok before updating to a new firmware.
Anyway, after work I'll try to flash a custom ROM if no one gives me a better idea.
I'll post the result, but please, I still accept suggestions in order to solve this problem using a stock firmware.
I also have mesuared gps strenght signal with an android app, and it detects around 25%-30% where another phone with same carrier detects 75%.
Thanks, and keep in need of new ideas.
Sorry for any written mistake. My english is not as good as I wish. :·(
If you tried several roms like Zeus, and noone have solute your issue, than you should assume, that you have a hardware problem. Of course you should compare the signal strength with an other Smartphone, due their format cause a bad signal reception.
Go back to stock. I recomend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1
and here pick your corresponding stock:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
other thing: In which country are you using the phone, and it is buyed there? Maybe bad bandwithspecs.
Regards!
Thanks Pacos1, the phone is being used in Spain, and also it's been bought there. (weird to write you in English :·)).
I still haven't tried a custom ROM like zeus or another one. I wanted to solve the issue with any Stock ROM, but as I have been trying several with no luck, I think it's time to try a custom one. I'm thinking about Zeus.
But first, as you've mentioned bad bandwith specs, I remember that the problem came after installing a patched stock ROM from russia. Once installed, I found out that spanish language wasn't included, so I returned to a patched stock spanish ROM. At that moment I started to have signal unstability.
So, I ask you with hope, do you know something I can do to restore spanish bandwith specs, and how to do it??
That would save my ass, as I'm really touched with this trouble.
Thanks again and hope a good end to this embarassing stuff.
I'm going to give up and call the SAT center. I've tried a lot of things for the last days without luck and no more ideas come to my brain.
I've tried Zeus ROM, it's quite good and nice, good performance, but still unstable signal. I've return to an offical ROM through LG update service and again unstability.
My conclussion is that is something about RIL and baseband, but don't have enough knowledge to solve it, then it's time to ask for official help and prepare my wallet (phone is out of warranty :·( )
End of the story.
Thanks
try to install a different version of roms custom or stocks. for example form what i know v20o roms are from spain and the v20n roms are for europe use. try some different version and you may able to find the answer to your problem
Some Info:
First things first: This is not my primary tablet anymore so If I can't get it working that is okay.
Second: I am trying to fix it for my parents or to sell it.
Third: It is the Sprint CDMA Version.
Okay so the problem with the tablet is when I turn on the device after flashing anything (whether it be the stock Gingerbread Rom via Odin/Heimdall or Cyanogenmod/AOKP) it works fine for a couple of moments... I set it up.. I open a couple of apps... and suddenly every single app starts to force close!!
On Stock it shows some apps like Swype and on ICS roms it shows some acore process.
I really want to know how to unbrick this and I can't send it in cause my warranty ended in February.
I'm also having a similar problem.
But I can't flash any ROM.
Even if I copy the zip file to the tab memory, after I reboot it, the file disappears. It always goes to Italian language. Can't remove the google account or the hotmail account.
I have tried to reset to factory defaults, etc and still the same...
Any ideas?
What android version your tablet have ?

Stock Gingerbread but the problem started when I had AOKP on it.
I tried flashing back to stock yesterday and now it's in a boot loop on the second Samsung logo after the Sprint logo.
The things that crash are android.process.acore, all gapps, Swype on stock, and Google Play.

Hello everybody
This thread is applicable to all HTC devices I owned, not only the one, and probably others Android devices too...
I used my HTC One rooted with TWRP and the stock ROM, but the new release is just in OTA in my country (4.2.2) and of course I wanted to update my HTC, but I first need to relock it and put the stock recovery.
Following another thread from xda, I perfectly put my One back to stock... except the wifi doesn't want to work anymore... This is not the first time it happens to me so the issue I THINK (i'm not a god in Smartphones) comes from the firmware you put into when reinstalling the recovery. On my HOX, I often had this issue and every time it was coming from a bad manipulation from me when re-flashing the stock firmware.
So I do not have THE solution, but if it happens to you , that probably comes from the firmware (wrong version)
For my One I simply share my computer's connection with my One to download the OTA upgrade (it doesn't work with data), and then I followed the instructions (stock).....
'hope it helps if you have some issues just ask I will try to help you with that
Hello!
For some reason my board got fried so I took it to the warranty and they sent me to a place to drop off my phone. They changed it for free (great) but they also rooted my phone and left me a 4.1 ROM instead of the stock 4.2 as I had. I'm now having troubles regarding charging it (it's not detecting the cable correctly sometimes and think it's still plugged?) and it was fine before. So I'd like to see if it's a software issue before having to drop it off at the warranty for another full month.
OTA updates are not working obviously and Kies recognized my firmware as "up to date".
I don't want my phone rooted (I refused to do it right from the beginning) and I want my phone to be able to update normally.
Is there any way I can unroot my phone and leave it in the same condition I got my phone in originally? Stock ROM and all. I was happy with it.
Thanks a lot!
All needs to be Stock for unrooted phone.
Did they flash you a Stock/Custom Rom with a Stock kernel?
What does the phone info say ?
Are any root apps left in the menu? When yes, which ones?
To put in in a nutshell your aim is now to assure getting a stock Rom+Kernel and then unroot it with a Unroot App. Usually works like a charm
Oh, and if you want to switch back to 4.2 you can get the according Stock Rom either here by searching for your (exact) phone model or try novafusion.pl if its an old Samsung Galaxy.
