Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few of the custom builds (Timor, AthineOS, CellPro Evo), and one problem I've noticed with each of the ones I've used is that when I get a text it doesn't notify until I wake the screen back up. Once I do that it vibrates and rings, but its up 30min after I got the text. Is this a known problem with a fix or am I better off sticking with a stock ROM?
Thank You
Funny you mention this, because I'm having the same problem. I thought it may have been a tweak I'd done and was going to do a hard reset today.
The only cab I've installed is Microsoft MyPhone. And had to edit the reg to allow the changing of the notification light timing in the Sounds & Notifications settings.
Do you know if this happens before you've made any changes to settings or installed any software on the phone? I don't recall having any problems like that myself with Timor installed, but I'm also not sure I received a text in that time. I haven't tried the other ROMs you listed.
It seemed to happen after I edited the reg settings.
Doesn't seem to be a constant occurance though. I happened to me 12 hours ago, even after a soft reset. But now I just sent a test message to myself, and all is ok... weird
Well I've regularly installed My Phone, Marketplace, Bing, Groovefish, and MP3 Trimmer, but I'd rather not delete and hard reset everything to do a test if someone knows a fix
I haven't had this issue...I am using the Valkrie Firestorm 5 and even when my phone is sleeping my phone vibrates as I get SMS messages and emails...
Well I have hard reset and held off installing using the My Phone. Everything seems well with recieving on time...but now the screen turns on everytime i get a message. It didn't used to do that and I find it quite annoying..I looked around my settings and Advanced Config and couldn't find anything.
It happens in the stock HTC rom too.
It normally doesn't happen if you come out of the text messages and go back to the home screen after you reply to someone. It's a really annoying bug
Me too...
I thought it was the result of all the hacking, tweaking and breaking I've been doing on this flash since I've been using it as a "scratch pad" but the problem you are all describing sounds identical.
I will also second the Home screen suggestion. Hit 'End' after you are done messing with the phone to go back to the Home screen. There is definitely a notification bug related to not alarming/vibrating when not on Home screen.
Though I have observed this issue, this does not completely explain my problems. Sometimes I don't actually even receive the SMS or MMS until the next day or after rebooting my phone! Most of the time it's fine though. I'm going to do a clean flash and see if that gets rid of that issue.
Same Here
I have run across the same problem with a number of the cooked ROMs. I never really noticed the problem with the stock ROM though. In my experience some of the cooked ROMs are having a problem handling the text messaging. I have over 3000 text msgs in my backup and as soon as I try to view an older text, the systems tend to lag and freeze up to the point that I need to soft-reset. Im using Athine right now and so far it has handled the text msging just fine without freeze or lag, but it also seems to have the same notification delay bug that the other ROMs have.

Yeah I'm familiar with that bug. But I go back to the home screen 99% of the time then shut the screen. I'll get a message and the LED will start blinking, but only when I turn the screen back on will it ring and vibrate.
Same problem here with the cell pro rom

I have the problem with almost all of the ROM. Does anyone know if it could be a result of not using the right radio?
I could be wrong.. but I don't think it has anything to do with the radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem is receiving the message from the carrier, it's more-so the OS not notifying. This has only happened to me since trying the new WM 6.5.5 builds with Sense 2.5. Previous to these builds I have never had any issues, and only used EnergyROM with a COM2 build, and Sense 2.1

Im not sure about all the technical stuff your talking about...I just know that on almost every ROM I flash, when the phone goes to sleep, they seem to not do anything. Its only when I wake it up do I receive text messages, notifications and the weather doesnt update on its own in the prescribed time its supposed to according to the settings I have selected.
The radio version may affect the quality of your reception. So if you have no reception then that will obviously delay texts getting through, and stop you being able to get to the weather servers. But I can't see why it should have anything to do with delayed notification of texts that are already on your phone.
I realise this might not help you much, but on my EnergyROM (see my signature for full details), my phone gets texts fine when it's asleep.
The weather isn't designed to get automatically updated when your phone is asleep though. There was a recent thread on how to change the registry to make it do so, if you haven't done that then your weather stuff may well be acting correctly.

Awesome...thank you so much for the information and help
This is the thread about getting weather to update automatically - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585373
WHY DONT YOU JUST USE A ENERGYROM????? I dont have any issues with those roms and i just updated to the .88 radio. no issues as of yet.
Hi all,
Friend and I both have the Incredible S, loving it! He has a slight issue and I can't for the life of me solve it. Everything was working fine but now when he has an incoming call and the screen is off the incoming call screen flashes up briefly then disappears and device shows normal 'desktop' - you can't answer the call!
If you call his phone and the screen is active, incoming call screen pops up as expected and you can answer call.
Any ideas peeps?
Thanks

Hmmm,
I'm having the exact same problem. Running Fresh Evo on HTC Evo. Would love to know why this is happening. Any ideas?

Never worked it out, friend did factory reset in the end to fix it.

Bummer. Here's some info:
Latest Fresh EVO
Rom Manager
Rom Manager Janitor
Juice Defender Ultimate Juice
Titanium Backup Pro
Cachemate for Root
ShootMe
Adfree Android
adbwireless
Call Control (problem before this, though)
Launcher Pro
Any hints?
Having the same exact issue. This sucks... This started today for me around noon ( no calls before then), and has persisted throughout the day. Yesterday was fine.
I use Google voice for all of my calls.
The only thing I've done today that I haven't done every other day was that I installed the Gtalk app this morning. In the past, I've used Gmail directly. However, my computer was off during at least one of the phone calls I received today, so I can't imagine this could be it...
Perhaps because I installed gAlwaysIdle (an addition to Gtalk that makes you never go idle or always be idle) as well?
Does this correspond with anyone else's experience?
I'll probably just reflash my phone
<Rooted Atrix 4g running GingerBlur>
hmm this sounds like a serious firmware problem tho..
all i could suggest is flash a firmware that the most of the ppl are using, and dont got probs with...
well doing a good reboot seems to help alot these days. So disable the fastboot option en turn it off, wait a while (10 secs should be enough) en start the device again.
Also had some of the trouble like crashing things and this solved it for me. Give it a try and hope it will fix it.
Otherwise there seems to be no other way than a factory reset (go htc!)
I upgraded my Captivate to gingerbread/talon/continuum yesterday.
That went fine and everything was hunky dory.
Phone was working fine the whole day today, incoming/outgoing calls, data.
I came home and installed Skype and thats when all hell broke loose.
Now the phone part is dead (kinda!). I can make calls fine but if I get a incoming call, the call gets disconnected after 1 ring and I get a msg popup (like some error) but I cant really see what the message is.
I also noticed that it disconnects me from ATT network when a call comes in and then after a little bit it reconnects.
I also verified this by going to the About->Status screen and then making a call.
It normally says ATT but for a couple of secs after call drop it says 'Unknown'.
What did I do to screw it up and how can I fix it?
Thanks
Glaring obvious first question -- did you try uninstalling Skype to see if that resolved anything?

Sorry, I should have added that to my first post.
Yes, I did uninstall Skype and reboot the phone, just incase, but no difference.
Still the same.
Update:
After playing around with various things for a couple of hrs, I finally gave up and reflashed Continuum.
Everything started working again.
Applied my Ti backed up config and loaded Netflix. Same problem. Dialer died with an incoming call.
I reflashed Continuum again and everything started working as expected.
I then applied my Ti backup, still everything working.
I am in the process of updating all my apps and then lets see if everything is still working.
The only thing that is missing for now is the Netflix app.
I will keep everyone updated if its the Netflix app causing the issue or its the Skype.
activemind: Keep us posted if you find a cause. I am on a Samsung Vibrant (3g) via TMOB but have been having the same issue today with a completely different rom (simply honey). This is actually about the 6th thread I've found in the past two days having this same issue on Galaxy S phones.
I have had this problem before and what caused it was restoring system data with titanium. Make sure you are only restoring apps.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I looked around but couldn't find any one else having this problem.
On my Note since this morning whenever I receive a call the display is blank. No information whatsover. Also there are no buttons to answer/reject the call. I'm left with no option but to wait for the call to end and then see in the Phone application who called. Even that doesn't always work since a lot of numbers appear as Private.
Please help. I have no idea how to resolve it without rebuilding it.
Device - GT-N7000
Firmware - 2.6.3 KK5
Kernel - Franco 9
Unfortunately since I could not identify the cause of the trouble I reverted back to a really old Nandroid backup and everything was fine. Not content with being unaware of the cause of the trouble I used Titanium tool to start uninstalling apps and checking. After close to two hours of testing I realized that if the StatusBar application is crashed or disabled, the call prompt stops appearing. I can only imagine that something went wrong with the StatusBar in the configuration I had. It's a pity though since none of the apps were frozen or removed.
Anyway hope this information helps anyone else having this problem.
Hey all, i recently flashed the factory image for 5.0.1 and all of a audden auto rotate stopped working. It did fall put of my picket from about 3 feet onto the ground. Nothing externally was harmed . however, i cant remember if i had issues wuth rotating the screen after flashing the factory image and before i dropped it... Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this from either a physical drop or from a bad factory image flash. Thanks...

I am having similar issues, however, my device was not dropped nor was it flashed. The last thing I remember doing was turning the phone to landscape to watch a youtube video, then when exiting the video to select a new one it would not rotate back. I didnt think anything of it at first, but then when I couldnt rotate videos to full screen I became suspicious that there was something wrong. Checked other apps to see if they would rotate, no dice. I have checked the sensors with "Check My Android" and they are all working fine, however, the calibration is way out. I have also rest to factory settings, and the issue persists.

Is the auto-rotate icon enabled, or greyed out on the quick settings pulldown ?

Yep, it is there, I can toggle between on and off, I can also select it in the accessibility menu too.

I had a conversation, with Motorola support and they seem to think the only option is repair/replace. I will be speaking to a memeber of the aftercare sales team tomorrow, ill update tomorrow.
Hey I'm having a similar issue, I bought my nexus 6 in mexico no more than a month.. Today it slipped from my pants and felt screen down.. Had a few scratches but nothing to bad.. Well I haven't noticed that after the fall my auto rotate is not working.. Camera, videos, photos etc. Nothing auto rotates, the only thing I can see in landscape is YouTube because of the option to see it on landscape.. I don't know what to do, I have re booted the phone 3 times and nothing.. I'm thinking in installing the firmware or something like that but I need some help with it.. I don't know if someone can help me this???
Having both issues.. No auto-rotate and I've lost all cellular connectivity. Wifi works fine though. The heck is going on?
Has anyone else found a resolution to this?
All of a sudden mine decided to stop rotating earlier today and even though I can toggle it in the quick settings, nothing changes. I've since rebooted a couple of times but no luck so far. I'm on 5.0.1 by the way, non rooted, straight out of the box.
Edit: I've downloaded "Accelerometer Monitor" and confirmed that the accelerometer is responsive in Y,Z axis but the X axis was flat lining. I gave it a gentle slap onto the palm of my hand and all of a sudden the X axis jumped to life. It's as if the axis was stuck or something. It's responding now, though I have still had a few strange issues, like apps going to landscape when the phone was being held in portrait.
