Develop Bugs

Serious BUG, i'm coming to XDA for help or guidance

My issue involves the phone not accepting incoming calls.
CLIFFS:
Roughly 1/3 calls are affected, ive tried various kernals, radios, and roms. What else can i try (short of getting a refurb)?
This has only been an issue for the last 2 or 3 weeks, for months before that i never experienced this at all.
DETAILS:
It is very sporadic but happens quite frequently.
Sometimes i will see an incoming call, hear the ringer, then when i click "Accept" it appears to be connected, but i hear dead silence. Then about 10 seconds later the call is ended. It may happen a few times in a row, and it also may not happen. I never have any issues dialing out though.
when im saying "hello? hello?" and hearing nothing ... if i hit the "End Call" button there is a split second i can hear the audio from the other party before the phone hangs up
I know the people calling me, and sometimes it is people who don't call regularly. They wouldn't play games like prank call me.
I have confirmed i am having this issue with at least these ROM's:
SkyRaider 3.2
SkyRaider 3.3
SkyRaider 3.3.1
SkyRaider 3.3.2
virtuous 2.7 + custom kernal
virtuous 2.7 + stock kernal
Have tried the following Kernals:
KK #5
Stock HTC Kernal .15
Stock HTC Kernal .17
Have tried the following radios:
2.07.00.07.16
2.15.00.07.28
2.15.00.09.01
2.05.00.06.11
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else i can try?? I am so in love with my phone, but this is hurting my business and must be resolved.
Has anyone even heard of an issue like this? I dont even know what to search for
Thank you so much if you can help.

This could be a hardware.issue if it persists across still these combinations. Just a thought. You might want to un root it then take it to verizon to ruin done diagnostics...

Is that something they do on the spot? Or do they have to take my phone away?
Also if it came down to having to have the phone replaced, are there any known ways of ensuring i receive a new unit?
Thank you.
Im really upset over this because i love my phone so much If it were a problem with BT or something else i may just ignore it, but to not be able to receive calls?? LOL

Try doing a RUU back to stock, and see if your problems are fixed after a factory reset.

Have you tried updating the PRL?

So dont do a factory reset now? Go back to stock 2.2 first, then factory reset?

No, im assuming i can find out how to do this with a quick search .. unless you have a moment to explain?

Thank you. I did it, and went from 51920 to 52011
I wonder if this will have any affect

Just an update on this, since changing my PRL i have not yet had the issue happen again!!
I only received like 5 calls, but i usually always get it 1/3 typically
Ill update if anything changes, but thanks so much!!

The PRL did not work afterall.
What are my next steps? If i take my phone to VZW can they run some sort of test on the spot? or will they want to send it away?
Or should i dial 611 and make a stink until they send me a new phone?
I dont know what to do

Un root it first then take it back to stock. Lots of info out there about how to do that. Then take it back to verizon store. Be sure to s-on the phone...

Yep thats what its looking like
I downloaded the RUU and flashed it, but there was an error saying "Bad" and abandoned. Any idea where i can find a confirmed copy?
I then tried flashing the earliest backup i had from Recovery, it appears to be from just before i rooted.
Im going to see if i have the issue on this rom.
If i do, i will go S-On and they will see me in the store

what pisses me off most is i cant replicate it to do testing!!
Im sitting here literally calling myself over and over, to see if it connects lol

ok then, I had issues too with my network, and doing *228 was not good enough for some reason soooo do this.
Do a RUU by following the directions in this thread, and by using the file provided there.
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...-how-get-back-complete-stock-s-off-2-2-a.html
Then once you have gotten through the set up of your stock 2.2 incredible, Factory reset (pick the option that wipes the most data). When you turn back on your phone, it will ask you to activate it, like you just got a new phone. That has been fixing a lot of peoples weird problems lately.

So you unrooted, flashed 2.2, factory reset, then re-rooted?

Only way to get a new unit is to go in the store and freak out cuz you lost it and you need a phone NOW! They can call asurion for you and get what's called an emergency replacement or something like that. Just tell them you have buisness the next day and it's out of state. But the downside is you will get a Incredible with a SLCD screen and not your original AMOLED. But aleast it's new

Okay i fooled a lot and it hasnt happened yet (i have my toes crossed)
Here is what i did:
First, i flashed back to my very first backup right after root. So i went back to stock, but still had root.
Next i did a factory reset, wiped all data
Next i flashed SkyRaider3.3.2, newest radio, and manually reinstalled all apps and settings
so far its been 24hrs and i haven't had the issue!!

going on 4 days without an issue, thanks everyone for the help and advice

[Q] How do I get data back on my Evo?

Here's what happened:
Called Sprint because I was unable to send out SMS although I was able to receive. I was on the device at the time of the call and I asked the rep if she wanted to call me on another phone. She said that what she had to do didn't involve me being on a different line. I found it kind of weird but I figured she knew what she was talking about.
She tells me that she's done doing what she was doing and that I had to reboot my phone. I disconnect the call reboot my phone and test out the SMS. It works but now my data doesn't work at all. I'm using Cyanogen RC1 and I see no 1X or 3G at the top. I can s/r calls as well as s/r sms.
I called again and the guy knew I was using Cyanogen's ROM (I guess they have a way to do that now). He tried basic troubleshooting but we couldn't fix it. How do I fix this? I remember seeing a website link in a thread a while back that contained all the different PRL versions available for download in a .zip file that we could flash in recovery. Does anyone have the website?
I tried rebooting. Should I do a nandroid restore? I have a feeling it's network related so I don't know if that will fix the issue.

Have you tried flashing a sense or stock rom and see if you get text messages there. Worth a shot. If not give your nandroid a shot or even a full wipe install.

I'm going to a nandroid restore right now. I already backed up all my apps and stuff.

Good luck!

No luck. I'm on the phone with Sprint right now and all of the reps I speak to are lost. I know it's a network issue and something not being enabled on their side.

Ok I got off the phone with them and still haven't resolved my issue. They are claiming they can't help me because my phone is rooted. They wanted me to press ##3282 commands but Cyanogen doesn't have those functions built in.
This mess all started off with a texting problem. The thing that baffles me is that SMS has nothing to do with data.

Switch to a stock sense rom and call back.

Yup, that was my idea.
I'm still a bit taken back at the fact they knew which rom you were using.

Yeah man the guy was like " I'm looking at your account and I was checking what version you were using and it says Fresh". I told him that it was what I was using before but I'm using Cyanogen now.
They somehow know what version. I think they somehow send a signal to your device so it can send back the info that's in the about section. I thought it was pretty cool. He kept stressing that my warranty was void.

[Q] Major problem!!!

not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
i rooted the phone about a week ago and until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. i thought it was just somethin with the phone, and after rebooting and rebooting to see if it would correct, it did not. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then just today, i totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778&highlight=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?

Why not nandroid a backup of your current setup and then do a full factory reset wipe and ODIN over a stock rom and see if that fixes it...if it does then there is no reason to bring a perfectly good phone back.
Diagnostic process bro, get on it.
However if that doesn't yield any results? Might be bad hardware (which I doubt) and probably not your fault.
EDIT: You haven't changed your PRL by chance, have you? Sometimes on 11115 or 00001 I get intermittent MMS function...and a few times, legit PRL or not, my wifi/4g have just stopped working. A wipe and stock-restore took care of that every time...though that was a week or two after the phone came out and we didn't have nearly as many tools and options as we do now.
Also, are you sure that you haven't somehow disabled 3G or put it into airplane mode? As insulting as that sounds I have to ask....
...sometimes even the brightest of us forget to plug things in.

Odin restore would be the first step.

I would try ##72786# in the dialer then entering your msl. After that just just hut yes then let your phone do its thing and reboot and reactivate. Just remember to cancel it during the firmware check.

Good call...or even just trying to refresh your profile under 'updates' would be the easiest place to start...

The mms issues are likely a limitation of the ROM you are running (I haven't run Starburst in a couple of months so you'll have to ask about that in the ROM thread.) Easily resolved by using a third party app for mms if it is an important feature for you.
As far as the rest, the code provided by beejis is the reprovisioning code, also called a hands free reset and there is a bit more to the process than he stated (at least for a noob.) Hit the toolkit link in my signature and you'll find step by step instructions.
If that doesn't work, starting fresh is an incredibly simple process.
Also, posting the exact same question in two different forums is breaking a Cardinal rule, so you probably want to refrain from that, it won't win you many friends.

yes i tried that, after the phone reboots, it says uptop "device not activated" and nothiing....i have to manually go into settings/about phone/system update and do it from there and even then, after a few secs, i get an error message saying unable to complete...

yes, tried that to.....get nothing but "error cannot complete" messages. all i can do now is make calls

If you have titanium backup, go into that app then click backup/restore at the top. Find system updates and click on it to see if it's frozen, if it is defrost it. Then try my steps again. Other than that I'd try to Odin a stock ROM.

ok thanks, i went back to odin stock rom, did it from qbking77's post and the phone is back on stock...however............still no internet/data!!
i did do the ##number thing, the phone rebooted but notihng happened--i thought it was supposed to auto activate or something. so i went into settings/about phone/update profile....it scanned and after a few mins, i still get the error message "update could not be completed, if problem persists contact sprint customer support"
so im back on factory rom, but nothings changed---im where i was before--no data/internet....
before installing a different rom and such, i figure ill stop here and see what other suggestions may come about....sooooo, what next?

Take your phone in to a sprint store, an exchange may be in your future.

gee i hope not... i got the phone dec 14th, cant imagine having probs this early....
what if i did a total wipe, factory reset? i know ill loose everything on the phone, and now that its not rooted any longer, i have no way to back up anything (or at least not that i know of)
just hoping theres a better fix than a return/ factory reset

Now that you are stock, call sprint tell them your issue (only tell then internet doesn't work) and they'll do stuff on their end to trouble shoot it. Hopefully that will fix it.

I would try this. This will reset you back to exactly the way you got the phone. If you are still having problems then you will have to take it back to Sprint.

That sucks, I'd recommend taking the phone to Sprint/where you bought it, and get it replaced/fixed. Good news is you're now back on stock so they won't really look into rooting as a problem. I always put phones back to stock before I take it in for a claim.

yea, dunno...
i did call sprint per Beejis reply here just above yours. after going through a ton of crap that i did yesterday and all today, the ## number crap, they tell me there's a nationwide outage. now i find that hard to believe since both my other phones in the house, wife/kid work just fine and they have data/internet and other ppl i know have no problems....i told the tech person that it just must be my phone only cuz everyone else's seems to work.
she did give me an outage number, maybe someone on here can verify it -- 8622911 so who the heck knows. what i do know is, i sure spent a heck of alota time on here, resetting my phone, unrooting, blahh blahh just to find out there's an outage which i doubt in the first place ...
we'll see,,,,,

If you are now stock/rooted, sounds like you need to use sfhubs auto root script to go back to stock recovery (overwrite your custom recovery) unroot, and take it back to Sprint.

its just stock odin at this point, as if it came from the store.
also, still no data/internet as of this morning. dont know why sprint
is telling me this bs story of an outage, and even if so, i find it way hard to beleive its a 4 day outage
but yes, looks like im headed back to the store-- i got it at best buy, have insurance and all that, but ill wait till tomorrow or something just in case this phantom outage corrects itself
by the way, where do i find this sfhubs root your talking about?
oh one other thing i discovered today also, now gps dont work either, no location, no search no nothing and it is turned on......... sigh

[Q] [Team VeNuM] JellyBomb JellyBean support...

Hi all,
started this thread for people like me that don't post much, that can't ask questions in the Dev section. Got to get my post counts up, lol! I've been a member on here from when the Samsung Moment came out, so I'm no newb to flashing rom's, etc. ' Just saying'. Been trying to flash TBOMB 5.0 from last night and can't get my phone to boot up for the life of me. It starts, hangs, then it crashes before it's completed. Yes, I did everything I needed to do. LIH firmware, Wipe caches, factory reset, re-downloaded the file (2x) even flashed to complete stock and started over(2x). Still no go. Many are having good luck with this rom, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance, for any info that could get me on the right track....
Anyone else needing help with this rom, you're more than welcome to use this thread for questions. :good:

That's weird. Did you reset your counter to 0 (zero) before flashing? I'm not sure if it makes a difference but you can try. I flashed over the leaked version of JB, only wiped caché and data caché. Didn't do any Factory Wipe/Reset because it was not in the instructions. You only need to Reset if you had any problems/issues with the rom. Everything works fine so far. Try those steps and see what happens. But do a nandroid before flashing.

Not to be rude, but are you waiting long enough? I remember reading in that thread after 5 was released that the boot animation was just straight black screen. That after a few minutes of nothing, it boots. Also, 5.1 was released this afternoon. Try that out.

I have been having trouble with trying to switch my lock screen wall paper. Did a dirty flash
of 5.1 over JB 5.0. But this is only on the lock screen. My home screen will change with no problems. Also for some reason I can't open the gallery app. This isn't to big of a deal as I use Quickpic but idk if they are related problems. When I try to use QP to set the wall paper it just asks me to crop the pic and that's it. I am sure I am overlooking something and would appreciate any help. Thanks

Thanks for your response. Yes, I did a counter reset when I went back to stock LI3.
DLed the 5.1 version of the rom after I posted this, flashed my phone, and now I'm good to go.
My phone didn't like something in the 5.0 version of this rom, might have been the kernel, don't think I had 2 bad downloads of this rom(5.0)......
Now I have hands on, the niceness I've been reading about. Thanks to all of you hard working Dev's, that keep our phones going by bringing us all these goodies. :good:

Been thinking the same thing while I was trying at first, but it sure wasn't my wait time. Fell asleep waiting on it around 4:30am , woke up 4 hrs later, no go, lol! Had to leave the house for a while, so I flashed back to stock LI3, so I could have my phone working... 5.1 worked, like I posted before seeing your response. Thanks for responding.

Battery Icon - Signal Icon - Date
I just flashed 5.1 over 4.3 today. Install went great, phone is dramatically faster did great on benchmark.
The issue I am having is that the signal icon, battery icon, ringer icon, time Do not show up right away on reboot. then all of a sudden it will just show up.
This actually happened on 4.3 also. If anyone has any ideas that would be great, and not to wipe and re-flash. I understand that ultimately that may be required but I am not looking at doing that right now.
Thanks.

I am not running CWM i am using TWRP. I will check that to see if I can find something. But I really have no idea what I am looking for. I am kinda new to all this stuff.

It's in TWRP also, just an fyi. Should find it easily, once in there.....

I believe fixing permissions is under "Advanced".

Rocking JellyBomb Thanks to Teem VeNuM on My Sprint S3 xda Premium

Yes, this rom is awesome. The only thing I'm having trouble with is wi-fi tethering. I guess with this version of JB it is not possible to run tethering. Anyone else out there?

I called sprint and added wifi hotspots for $10.00 .After they allowed it I went to system update. Updated prn and profile and it works. I hope this helped

Is anyone having issues with setting up the s voice wakeup commands? It's like the microphone is deaf. S voice works with everything else. Just not that. I'm gonna flash 5.1 as soon as it downloads. But just in case it still doesn't works, I'm asking this question.

General Jellybomb install
This might help a couple of you. I install JellyBomb 5.1 yesterday (first rom flash, yay!!) and loving it.
I used Clockwork Recovery. I installed the LIH modem (?) first as they said. Factory reset, wipe, cache and wipe richvishervi (?). Install of the rom itself couldn't have taken more than 20 mins, but I did get a boot animation (I believe it's the boot animation form the international version G3).
The only issue I had was that my google calender wouldn't sync. To get round this I deselected calender from the google account and added a account using Microsoft Exchange with my google details. That was a work around that has worked for me.
I think I also have a problem with wifi tethering but I haven't looked into it properly.
One question I will ask is; I'd like to have the lock screen that has the circular unlock feature but I'm not sure how to get it. Any help would be appreciated.
If anyone is on the fence about installing this rom, I'm VERY happy with it. It's very customizable, it fast and it has been very easy on the battery so far. Well done Josh Beach.

If anyone is on the fence about installing this rom, I'm VERY happy with it. It's very customizable, it fast and it has been very easy on the battery so far. Well done Josh Beach.

Do you mean the lockscreen with the rings?

Exchange Account
I have an exchange account setup on this rom. Not all of my appointments are syncing over. Some are and some are not. I have my work schedule in outlook as an "all day event" but none of them are showing up. But other "all day" events are syncing over.
My gCalendar is sycing without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas???

Why? You could download Easy Tether from Play Store and use it for free. Free version doesn't let you browse the secure sites but the paid version does. It works great.

Yes. It has an unlock icon with the shortcuts to apps above, below, to the left and right.

[Q] Am I stupid? mms cyanogenmod and paranoidandroid

Hi all,
I have been hunting around for the last three days and cannot find a unified answer as to why MMS does not work on my i747. No MMS function is kind of a deal breaker. I have changed APN settings a number of times to no avail. Switched from PA to CM and back no wipe and full wipe etc and still no dice. Does anyone have any solutions that are repeatable? If so I would love to make it known.
Frustratedly,

are you using any type of startup programs?
if you are see if you checked the messages app and if you did uncheck it.

Not sure what you mean by startup apps but the phone was pure as the driven snow and still nothing. If you can consider cm pure

Does everything else work? Like phone calls, texting, and cellular data? If so, more than likely APN related. Who is your service provider?

Yeah. Everything else is fine. Sms is good and quick. Data speeds are tip top. Mms messages just stall out at "sending" I use ATT in Colorado.

Well if everything else is working properly, then I'd almost bet it's APN related. Double check, and make sure everything is entered properly, periods,spaces, capitalization. If so, and it still doesn't work, did u make a backup of stock before u ever flashed a custom ROM? If so, restore it and see if they work. Also, have u updated your modem?

Can you receive mms messages? Because I recently couldn't send picture messages, but could receive them. Turns out picasa uploader had some corrupt data. I would make sure that app isnt frozen or accidently uninstalled

Some of the newer ROMs have issues with resizing the image being sent - it is larger that AT&T will allow. I don't remember what thread it was in but someone mentioned that there was a change made to the mms.apk that caused the issue. They posted an APK that they pulled from a ROM from June (I think it may have been a CyanogenMod nightly).
--edit--
I think it was polobunny that posted it. I'm too tired to look for it but his post in reply to fastest963's post on a possible CyanogenMod resolution to the issue in the thread listed below.

I had that same problem with Slimbean. I sent them a logcat and the fix had something to do with "the lack of hugemem for kernel".

Not sure if this is applicable, but this guy posted a fix on a thread for MMS issues on a 4.3 ROM. Perhaps worth investigating?

umm...
what carrier are you? bell? rogers? ect...
i run pac on bell and get mms fine.

I had the same issue as the op. I use the app handcent SMS app from the play store and that fixes the issue sometimes. I was on cyanogenmod 10.2 when I had the issue.

So it looks like I was suffering from the ATT/cm photo resizing issue that was referenced a few replies back. The most recent nightly addressed it and it seems to work well now. Going to try to send a bunch of pictures of various sizes to verify its functionality but it looks like people with ATT and i747s should be on an even playing field on CM. I wonder how soon paranoidandroid will have this update.

I have had this issue on almost all ports and CM roms. Compounded by living in a poor service area. The only consistent fix for me is what Bruce Lee suggested and use a 3rd party sms, I like GOsms personally. Actually I like stock better so I turn off notifications in Go and greenify it until I need to send a pic.

Fix permissions, on ATT can send 8mp photos fine on any 4.3 ROM I've tried (CM, Quantum, PA, Illusion).

I dont think I've tried again after fixing permissions so ill try that. Thanks. If its that easy, I'll be both happy and pissed that I didn't try that. I noticed earlier in this thread someone said something about the picassa uploader. I usually freeze that app, and was just searching for what it does. If you don't mind me asking, are you aware of any issues that may cause in sending MMS? Seems to only be involved with uploading to an account, which I dont have.

Only problems I've had with MMS are as follows:
"Sending" bug - either fix with "Fix permissions" in recovery, or just using a different mms.apk from a ROM it did work on (4.3)
APN settings - only happened once on a 4.2.2 ROM, don't remember which
Never used picassa uploader, or froze it (I don't use TiBu). But recently with the 4.3 ROM's I've tried fixing permissions is all it's taken for me. Just to be safe I've made it a practice to Fix Permissions 3 times before rebooting, also clearing cache/dalvik

Ok. Thanks. I just noticed newest CWM doesnt have fix permission so i did it through scripter. Only tied once though. It didn't work with that one try. I have also tried pushing new mms.apk but no luck. Ill try a couple more fix permissions and try again. Always nice to have new oprions for this fix so thank you again for the response.

No problem, but the newest CWM doesn't have it? I'm using Philz CWM ported by blackwing (somewhere in android dev), it's under advanced options for me. Which MMS.apk did you try?

I'm currently using novaGen ROM cm10. I tried different MMS.apk from his mrom and also a couple themed aosp apk's I grabbed from somewhere. The weird thing is, I use cool tool to monitor data sent and speed, and I can see data slowly going out but they never complete. However gosms worked on the first try. I used TW ROMs like Goodness for a long time with the same results. I also just got a new s3 cause my IMEI and or my hardware got borked and I lost my backup, so ive eliminated the phone as the issue. I do live in a tough service area but still after 45 min it fails. I get around 25% signal strength. I have tried in a better area in the past but not too recently. Same results.
