Messaging Accounts deleted after Soft Reset

Hi guys!
I'm using a Trinity (WM6; Build 17944.0.3.1), everythings is great - except whenever I do a soft reset my messaging accounts are no longer there (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) default accounts such as Text & MMS are intact but I always end up setting up my Yahoo & Gmail account whenever I do a soft reset.
Any tips?

locate a file called "startclean" in /windows/startup, and delete it, that could be the reason.

I opened my startup folder and there is no reference to "startclean."
I have the following: btdwake, poutlook & VCDaemon. I already did a hard reset & after setting up a new message account (Yahoo & Gmail) after resetting these accounts vanish.
Help!

you can use this to restore them accounts, works great.
I've noticed the same thing happening on my P3600 after installing certain programs (too bad I dont remember which ones) but only on certain ROM's

What can I use? Is there a URL or Hyperlink?

Got it. Thanks! Will send feedback once I get my device setup.
Thanks again.

Problem Solved - for me anyway
Had the same problem, was driving me crazy untill I found this:
Set up all your settings, email accounts, etc. Make sure your phone is not plugged in to your charger or sync cable, if it is, unplug the cable and wait a few moments. Turn off your phone by holding the power button for 4 seconds,
then restart.
Apparrently this writes the settings to memory so that after a soft reset they won't be lost.
I did this two days ago and the problem has not re-occurred for me.
Here's hoping.

Messaging accounts and passwords disappearing probably solved!
Hi to all!
After a few days with this terrible problem I think I've found a solution!
For me it works for 100% and I really hope that it'll help you too.
So, the theory (you can look immediately to the next chapter if you don't care about details and just want the solution):
Problem with settings (mail accounts, passwords, exchange folders) disappearing and known solution (start IE, disconnect, turn off) telling us that problem is connected with saving settings to the filesystem.
There might be 3 problems:
1. Some huge cache for system setting. Flush operation is not so often, so everything lost during a soft reset.
2. Some error in system databases support.
3. We're closing system application in some wrong way....
So, I started with simple 3rd variant and I've found out that all of us are using HTC X-button application to close running programs instead of minimize them.
Currently I have installed PDAVIET rom with X-Button 1.51 (build 30470).
The Solution:
Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!
That's all!
Thank you!
EDIT:
To avoid misunderstanding I'll describe steps:
1. Delete registry value: "Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!"
2. SoftReset
3. Enter passwords, restore accounts etc.
4. Completed!
Also I've found previous version of X-Button and with this version accounts and passwords don't disappear: View attachment X-Button1.5.cab

Does this mean, that the Installation of the linked X-Button 1.5 version
would avoid the problem??

In general, yes, but I didn't try to install older version above working newer version.
What I did is:
1. Removed registry key and then soft reset.
2. Install older version.
Thank you!

As to me X-button is not related to this issue. This is a feature of wm6 implemented with bugs by Dopod, who provided a lap with bugs.
This issue and others can affect a lot (if not every) dopod roms, It can be mitigated by disabling file system cache, but require a new lap to be solved.
Have a look here and around for further information:

Hi!
As I said, it might be problem with cache, but nevertheless new version of X-Button closes system applications in different way than old version (probably using KillProcess or something... I didn't study it in details) and with old one system applications have time to save their settings.
It is true that reason is not in X-Button, but using old version I don't have this problem at all.
Solution is not for fixing a bug in OS, but for avoiding the problem.
Thank you!
P.S. Thanks for the link. I'll study it.

Thanks mcnl6754,
However not long after I posted, I lost my settings again. I haven't tried esofts fix yet. I was hoping for some more feedback first.
I did ring HTC (Australia) about this, they denied any fault of the ROM.
I am using the latest official ANZ rom from their website.

After trying out your suggestion - I have sucessfully retained my message settings for 3 days without a glitch so far. Have done as much as 10 soft resets just to make sure it was retained. So for me everything has worked out perfectly.
Thanks again.

Hi to all!
I have to tell that disabling X-Button was working for a week or so and then I lost my settings again.
Also I tried to disable file system cache, it was working for a few days and yesterday night I've lost my settings once more.
100% solution doesn't exist yet.
I'll keep trying, but I feel like it would be easier to create small application which will configure everything (network, e-mails) and put it into autostart. :-\ I'll work on this issue next weekend.

Problem Solved
I've install Mary ROM and problem solved!

Help- com.android.phone Error Loop CM7

I am getting a com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly error every two seconds. I press Force Close and it pops back up. I've wiped twice now and it helps for about 10 minutes, then the loop starts again. This happened with Skype and Handcent as well, but I just uninstalled those.
I'm using CM7.

I have been having the same issue. It happened in RC1, nightly #5 and #6. So far the only thing i have been able to find is that Titanium may be causing it. Im gunna try and reflash and just not restore any thing. Are you using titanium?

I have the same issue. I have tried to wiped(cache, Dalvik, and factory), and reflashed the ROM and still get the error. I have tried to fix permissions. Did not work. Reflash all the radios and that did not work. I have wipe all data and wipe SD and reflash a re-download CM7 and gapps and still did not work. So I started a CM7 bug tracker. The bug issue number is 3502. The HTC incredible with CM7 is having the same issue. I hope this helps.

I have the same issue. It started when I flashed 7.0.2.1. Since then I've tried flashing back to 7.0.2 and still had the same problem. Tried the latest nightly too. The phone works great until I reboot it a few times then it starts to crash as soon as I unlock it. I know that it's going to crash com.android.phone before even unlocking it because when it does boot up it powers up with airplane mode on and there is no signal. This sucks because I was really liking CM7. I'm back on good old Myn'sRLS5 now with no problems. I hope this issue if fixed soon. I'm missing the speed and customizations of CM7.
EVO HW3
latest radios and prl
amon_ra 2.3

When you guys are flashing, are you flashing the latest gapps with it?

no adb shell, no terminal, no paid apps.
Put your phone in airplane mode
Download the free app "Sqlite" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidbean.sqliteReader&feature=search_result) from market (need superuser)

1) Data/data
2) com.android.providers.settings

4) settings.db
5) secure
Go down and find "preferred_network_mode"
Go right and find its value (mine was 7). Change to 0.
Tap menu button and close the Sqlite.
Reboot. Done!
Ps: I recommend you to delete the widget!

Wow, I've been looking everywhere for an answer to my force close loop with the radio. The version of MIUI I have on my fascinate has a 2G/3G toggle and when setting it the entry 3g preferred, it sets the database entry preferred_network_mode to 0. The fascinate uses a CDMA based radio so I would get a force close constantly on that mode. Looking at the different possible modes from this list:
0: WCDMA preferred
1: GSM only
2: WCDMA only
3: GSM auto (PRL)
4: CDMA auto (PRL)
5: EvDo only
6: GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
7: Unknown
I was able to figure out the right mode for my radio (Verizon CDMA). Thanks a lot for pointing this out! Would be nice to recompile this rom with my own customized entries for the widget. Also never knew there existed a small app that can modify database records, so this is a lovely addition to my root app arsenal .

Rooted htc desire cdma broken MMS

I've seen a lot of posts regarding mms being broken after rooting. Has anyone gotten it to work? I am with Cellcom Green Bay, WI.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

I'm actually with Cellcom in Green Bay as well! I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1. If you have any questions about what works and what doesn't, feel free to ask me! I've actually tried quite a few ROMs on the Desire.
And just to be clear, rooting worked fine. I'm able to text and take calls. However, with the ROM I'm running, I had to download a different text messaging app, because the default app doesn't split messages longer than 160 characters, so the messages wouldn't send when they were really long. Easy fix though. No worries.

Ligor,
Great to hear that you have things working on your desire. Rooting worked fine and I can make/receive calls fine. Data and internet work fine along with sending and receiving regular text messages. MMS picture messages don't work. I get failure messages back when sending or receiving MMS.
Can you send and receive MMS?
Thanks,
Mike
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App

I'm testing it now. It appeared to send correctly. I'll let you know if the person I sent it to responds.
EDIT: MMS is not working for me right now. I'm looking into some fixes for it. It appears you would need to install a new mms.apk for the appropriate version of the ROM you're running and change some APN settings.

Ok. I am still on the Cellcom stock ROM. I can see the APN settings and they still appear to be Cellcom. Don't know what may have changed though. I'll keep looking and post if I figure something out. Please let me know if you figure it out.
Thanks!
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App

im also on a cdma desire, but with us cellular. i have similar issues with mms, sometimes they will send, most of the time not. running cm7.1 too. i was using some other sense rom from 2fastroms that i had to mess with the apn settings to get it to actually send any kind of message, but never could get mms to work.

Seems to be a combination of the UTSI_* setting and APN settings. This post leads down that path. I haven't had a chance to try changing anything.
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14506-apn-mms-issue/page__st__20
My phone has UTSI_005 set and it looks like it should be UTSI_006
Also found that the CID might be set wrong after rooting.

You went over my head with that post lol. As far as just getting root, I had no problem with the stock rooted rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

UPDATE
I got MMS working today by following the instructions on this site -
2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=202
There is a file specific to Cellcom that has the CID updated already
==> Cellcom_mms-fix.zip
The instructions below worked for me. Thanks to 2fastroms.com for this!
I did get a "general network error" when sending a picture, but the message did go through. Also received a cannot download image when receiving a picture message, but it did download.
Step 1:
You need copy the downloaded zip to your sd card. Boot into recovery by using reboot to recovery if a option in your rom. If not power down the device. Hold volume down and power till the h-boot screen shows. Once it does use volume down/up to navigate to recovery. Hit power to select.
Step 2:
Go to install zip from sd-card > carrier_mms-fix.zip. Select yes and let it flash. Then select reboot system.
Step 3:
When rebooted plug your phone into your pc. Open cmd or terminal running the below commands.
Code: Select alladb shell
Enter
Code: Select allsu
Enter hitting ok on the prompt.
Code: Select allcat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
Enter
Code: Select all/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img
Enter. Once done reboot and see if mms now works. If on sense it should if on aosp you need a modded mms.apk from this

did you try using root explorer mount as r/w then go to data then data again then scroll down to com.android telaphony and long press it hit rename and put a 1 at the end save reboot then it should work thats what i found some where and it worked for me on many roms..

[Q] MMS and GPS not working on Cyanogenmod Jellytime by randomblame 4.1 R30

Hi All,
I recently updated from "Cyanogenmod Jellytime by randomblame 4.1 R28" to R30. I am unable to sent MMS message since updating they where sending on R28.
Also my GPS hasnt worked on either R26, R28 or R30. I have read a couple of posts in the issue tracker but im still not 100% certain what to do.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

HI
My idea for fixing the issues:
1. MMS - go to the hidden menu with *#*#4636#*#* on your dialpad, then choose "phone information", go to SMSC and hit refresh (I suppose it was empty field and after hitting refresh, some phone number should appear there);
2. GPS - go to any file manager with root access, go to "etc" directory and delete "gps.conf" file;download this file: http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.v3.1.zip and flash in recovery (or extract gps.conf file from the zip and copy it to the etc folder (I did the second in Total Commander and it worked); reboot. After that you should get rapid lock with 5-8 satellites. But don't download new agps data using any app like "gps status" after that - somehow it messes up my gps.conf file and I have to do the steps above again to get a lock.
Let me know if that helped - it's my first advice I gave on xda. I hope it will work with you.

Hey,
check out the Jellytime thread, both of these topics were discussed many times there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202

Hi martinez1,
MMS are now working. Thanks for that. GPS still the same, ill do some more reading in here and I might just do a fresh aahk over the weekend.

[Q] CM 11 data connection troubleshooting (RESOLVED)

I have been running CM 11 Nightly builds, and everything has been working out pretty good, until just a day or so ago.
Now suddenly I find that I never get a data connection (3G, etc) - works fine on Wi-Fi of course though.
Using the FC09 multiboot, I am able to prove that it is not an issue with my phone hardware or my Sprint account.
FC09 has data connection and everything is cool, until I reboot into latest CM 11 (right now = cm-11-20140305-NIGHTLY).
(Since I don't have enough posts yet to ask this in the development thread, I thought I'd try here and see if I had any luck.)
In trying to research this, I see some talk of "APN settings" - but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access those settings to change them
(Some advice said to speak "Open APN" into the voice dialer? But that is not doing anything for me...)
I guess I am also curious if this is happening to anyone else using CM 11 Nightly builds?
Again, the data connection works when I "multiboot" FC09, but cannot get it to work on latest CM 11 Nightly.
Any help or suggestions on things to check/tweak are highly appreciated - thank you in advance.

Yap... that append to me also, i'm on a GT-I9000 with the same NIGHTLY version. That must be a rom problem, because with the previous version, worked ok.

Getting closer to a solution (?)
Same problem (currently running cm-11-20140306-NIGHTLY)
I did finally figure out how to acces the "Open APNs" screen.
My mistake was trying to say "Open APN" from the regular phone dialer, which just threw the voice command to Google.
Then it suddenly clicked - they meant the separate application that is named "Voice Dialer".
(thought I would post that in case it saves anybody else some headache)
So then I found this buzzmobile link that lists "Sprint APN Settings for Android (US)"
http://buzzmobile.us/sprint-apn-settings-android-us/
I thought I was just about to get this all taken care of... BUT, now here is the problem:
No matter how many times I have tried to enter and re-enter the APN settings, they are not being saved.
I don't know if anyone has any experience with this issue, but if you have any advice, I am all ears - thank you.

Boot into the temporary FC09 installation and try the "##DATA#" dialer code. If thats not the right code then its gotta be another one that allows you to access these settings. You may also need your MSL.

My journey
OK, so I'm back in business again, and thought I would share...
1) Booted into the "multiboot" FC09 and installed 'APN Backup & Restore' app
2) Made a backup .xml file from there
3) Rebooted back into CM11
4) Installed 'APN Backup & Restore' app - BUT - could not restore the APN .xml file yet - special steps needed to get this to work with KitKat
5) Installed 'ES File Explorer File Manager' app
6) Followed instructions in this article to change 'APN Backup & Restore' to a system app:
How To Install Any App As A System App On Android [Guide]
NOTE FOR KITKAT: where it says to move the app to /system/app, you actually have to move it to /system/priv-app
7) After following that, I opened up 'APN Backup & Restore' app, but I was confused that it still said "Unfortunately APNs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN Settings."
8) Then I realized that I still needed to go into the settings of the app and click 'Disable ICS Check'
9) Then the app was recognized as a system app and I could do a restore from my .xml file
[EDIT: attaching a .zip of the .xml file that I snagged from booting into FC09]
