Okay, so this may get a little long winded. I used to have an incredible but gave it to my GF when I upgraded to my Thunderbolt. I was rooted so I have been flashing the new versions of stock as they were released. She is on the latest build of Gingerbread, and it was working fine since I flashed it. However she has been getting the stupid low disk space error (even though she's got 6 gigs free on both internal and external storage). I am currently away on business for two months, and she needs to get this problem addressed. Well this morning she can no longer receive text messages. So I told her to kiss her stuff goodbye, and had her wipe data/cache and reinstall the newest stock rom. She still can't receive text messages. What are my options? I don't know if I could walk her through how to get back to stock (un rooted for the OTA), she isn't very computer literate and doesnt have ADB on her laptop. Anyone have any suggestions? Would going unrooted and getting the official update even help? Can I just send her an RUU in zip form to flash back to stock? She's freaking out, thus making my life horrible. Any help is really appreciated.

Well, my gf has a HTC Desire, which has 147MB set aside for app data, and she started getting this with just two Market apps installed...an issue that plagues that device. This was on 2.2!
I rooted her phone, and since she had all of her contacts as Phone contacts, the size it took up was over 87MB. I moved all of her contacts to Google, cleared the Contacts cache, re-synced Google, and her low storage warnings went away. I also stopped Facebook from syncing contact information as well. So now she is able to install more apps, and the issues haven't come back since.
I realize that this is a different phone, but maybe if she has a lot of phone contacts, and those are syncing up with FaceBook, could be causing issues?
I thought that too, so after she wiped and reinstalled the ROM I had her not set up Facebook. Another interesting thing, she can send all the texts she wants, but still cant receive any. I don't know what to tell her...

Weird issue. I'm not receiving texts unless I send one to the person first. I've got one of the original evos from June. I rooted it the long way and ran fresh roms forever and never had issues. Last week I flashed CM and tried every kernel available and the phone was glitchy no matter what. For instance I would lose the ability to turn data on and off after the phone had been running a while. Most kernels also resulted in a bootloop. Then yesterday I lost the ability to send texts, but I was receiving them. So, tried to nand restore my fresh rom and apparently it was corrupted because it never booted, only looped. So, I wiped everything and reflashed fresh and the phone has been running fine again except for the text issue. Again, I only receive them after I have texted someone. Once I've texted them once I receive all future texts normally. Any clues?
Also, I just tried updating the profile and my PRL and was unable to do so. My data connection is working though.
Good Afternoon,
I'm having some issues with my MyTouch 3g Slide, and I was wondering if anyone could do me a huge favor and help me out. I just recently got this phone about a month and a half ago, and just rooted it about a month ago (using the new root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754020), so I apologize for any noobness. I tried searching the forums, but I haven't been able to find anyone with this issue, so I figured I'd rather ask to see if anyone knows what to do, before I start trying methods for similar issues to fix it. Anyways, here goes:
Short version: Installed apps from market, got low space error from excess apps. Moved some with "apps2sdpro" to sd card. Next day, apps wouldn't install/uninstall, apps moved to SD card weren't showing up (SD card itself was accessible though), camera froze up after taking a few pictures and black screened on reopening after force close. Rebooted phone, received text messages which were clearly sent hours ago (yet had signal & made calls during time), sometime after moving apps. Factory reset didn't fix issues. Restored Nandroid of original stock backup, then reflashed Cyanogenmod again. Error seemed to be fixed. Next day, started moving some apps to SD again, no noticable issues (aside from weak wifi connection). Afterwards, problems installing/uninstalling apps & receiving texts again.
Longer, more detailed version:
A couple of nights ago, I was downloading some apps from the app market, and my phone started popping up a low memory storage error, so I decided to go on a purge, and move almost all of my apps to my SD card using "apps2sdpro", including the ones that according to the program, were "phone-only". I'm not sure what, but unbeknownst to me at the time, apparently something got messed up with my phone in the process. The next day, everything seemed to be working fine, though I still had a low memory storage indicator, because I didn't get a chance to move all the apps over yet. I was taking some pictures with the phone, and the camera program force closed on me after a few pictures. I tried restarting it a few times, and it would just bring up a black screen. So I figured maybe it's the low memory, and tried to move and uninstall some of the apps. Any app I tried uninstalling, just hung on the "Uninstalling..." screen. So I tried Installing some apps that I put on my sd card after downloading to my computer, and the same hanging thing, except with the installing screen. I also noticed that all the apps that I had moved to the SD card weren't showing up on my app list. When I went to the apps2sd program, no apps were showing up on my SD card, and all the apps that I could move to the SD card had "0" memory size in the phone apps section. So I restarted my phone, thinking it was just a bug. As soon as my phone came back on, I received a number of texts apparently from hours ago, one of which I know my girlfriend had sent me the night before based on the content, but I had signal all morning, and even made a few calls earlier without problems. I did a factory restore, but that still didn't seem to fix the problem. So, I restored the Nandroid backup that I made before originally flashing Cyanogenmod, then reflashed Cyanogenmod and gapps onto my phone. Everything seemed to be working fine again, so I assumed whatever the issue was, I fixed it. The next day, I started moving some apps to my sd card, and everything seemed to be working fine. Yet when I woke up today morning, I once again couldn't install/uninstall any apps, regardless of size, and after doing a factory reset, I received a text message which my friend had sent me hours ago. So that's where I stand now.
My system information, if it helps:
Phone: T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
Android Version: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Slide
Build Number: FRG83
Once again, I apologize for any noobness, or if I missed something obvious, but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. I'd rather ask someone that's probably been doing this for some time, and knows what they're doing, rather than try to start taking pokes at it myself, and potentially do more harm than good. If you guys need any additional information I forgot to mention, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help. ^_^
Did you wipe data/cache between re-installs?
Nope, only after the initial root. I saw something in one of the forums saying not to wipe out the contents because it bricks the phone or something, so I assumed that you're not supposed to do it after the initial root. ~__~
It will not brick your phone, I've done it numerous times. I'd bet that will fix your problems. Wipe data and cache in clockworkmod recovery and reflash cyanogenmod and gapps.
Thanks for the help! I've been really busy, so I just got around to trying that last night. I wiped both the cache and the data, reflashed cyanogen and gapps, and everything seems to be working fine for now, and hopefully it stays that way. The phone seemed a bit buggy at first, having trouble getting signal, but after I rebooted it again, it was working. The problem usually hides for a day or so when I think it's fixed, so I might have to try something else, but either way, I appreciate the help & reply. ^_^
Let me start by saying, I have searched all of the treads for my phone, and the ones suggested before posting a new one, with no luck. I also searched all over other sites for an answer, about 3 hours now, and still nothing that quite fits my problem..
I have a Verizon HTC Inc2
-running 2.3.4
-Virtuous Unity v2.39.0
The problem I keep running into is that whenever I flash a new rom, or do a factory reset with clockworkmod, I can never get my phone to send or recieve MMS. It always says, generic network failure. I have tried with the HTC messages app and handsent app, both failed. The data icon in the notification area usually does not even show activity. I tried wiping the cache several times, restarts, changing data and wifi settings but to no avail. Funny thing is, I can restore my phone to the first backup I made, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and then MMS works.
Any ideas as to what may be happening? I can give you any additional info you need or ask as well. I'm not a total noob, but I feel like one right now. I just can't figure this one out on my own. Thanks!

General Network Error is when the system returns an error stating that you have no connectivity to send a message or an MMS (at least from my experience w/ it). I have this issue a lot with any messaging on my end because of shoddy reception. Which other ROMs besides Virtuous are you flashing that are giving this error? I know for a fact the CM7 has been having a LOT of issues with data connectivity. The last ones I remember hearing about with working data is #79 (or was it #80, I can't remember) and #85 and for a few people, #92.
I do have plenty of reception, always around 2 to 3 bars. Sorry I worded that wrong in my post, Virtuous is the only and first rom I flashed. I did it because Verizon OTA updates kept freezing my phone and I would get the blue android with the !. What I meant was, even when I did a factory reset, my MMS wouldnt work. First time I got that error, I was able to use bootloader and make a backup of eberything, then did a factory reset/wipe data and thats when I first noticed MMS was not working. So I copied the backup to my laptop, did another factory reset and format SD card, then I copied the backup to my card again, and did a restore with that backup. I restored data, cache, system, and boot I believe, and everything was back to normal and MMS was working. Unfortunetly I kept getting the OTA updates and each time, same problem, so this morning I read on a forum that a custom rom would prevent OTA updates, so I flashed Virtuous. I just found it odd that a normal factory reset, with no custom rom, would prevent MMS.
One more thing, not sure if its related, but I keep recieving messages from #6250 that say "VZWNMN: 1." Google searched that, most responses in forums are people saying they get the same thing and that Verizon told them they know nothing about it..
Have you tried a different radio?

People on CM were complaining of the same exact issue. They'd get bars of reception but MMS was just broken. I was just stating that when I try to send a message thru verizon and not google voice, I often get the same error message you're getting, which means that the data is being prevented from going out. I probably should've clarified that a little better lol. When you installed Virtuous, did you do a wipe data/cache and a wipe dalvik cache?
Also, if you restore back to your Gingerbread 2.3.3 that's rooted and your MMS is working fine there, then I don't believe it could be your radio. A possibility would be the kernel, but I doubt that Virtuous would package a kernel that would crash the MMS function. And since it's any SMS/MMS app, that knocks out the possibility of it being application based. The only thing I can suggest, would be to test out another ROM. If you're looking for sense based roms, go for BAMF's (http://www.teambamf.net) or Newt's Incredible 2 HD (http://www.themikmik.com). If you're looking for an AOSP based rom, go for CM7 (found on ROM Manager or at http://www.cyanogenmod.com) or MIUI (ROM Manager again, or http://www.miuiandroid.com). If you want a hybrid, I would suggest Skyraider Zeus (http://www.teambamf.net) or Gingersense (it can be found in the development portion of XDA). Remember when you flash a rom for the very first time, I'm sure you know this already, but you need to backup your rom first and then wipe data/cache and wipe your dalvik cache. Not doing either wipe before installing a brand new rom for the first time can cause unforseen errors.
Ok I found the answer while actually looking for new radios, so thanks for the post! haha
For all you out there who might run into the same problem, this is the solution I found..
Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)
1.Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).
2.Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.
3.Copy this file, ht tp://db.tt/9Ao5ErR, to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link'). This is an XML doc, sorry but since I'm new I can't just post a link, just remove the spaces between ht and tp.
4.Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.
5.You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.
I've done the Go SMS manual settings, rebooted, restored old rom, installed rootbox, reinstalled old rom again, used Chomp sms, handscent, and stock messenger. Cleared cache, and delvic cache, updated prl, profile, and fixed permissions. Did the ##...## thing too. Not sure what else to try. This is ridiculous. It just happened out of the blue. Was working since I got the phone and with all my roms. I can receive texts and make phone calls, my wife can send me texts and she is sitting next to me.
Any ideas?
Is this an unfixable problem???
Did the teenybin LGNPST and nothing helped. Anyone think doing an entire reset will fix this?
Am I talking to myself?
Reset to stock and if it doesn't work then, take it to sprint.
Well, Teenybin worked once I loaded a new stock rooted rom along with a radio flash and an efs flash. Been able to send texts for a little while now. Hoping it sticks. What sucks is I am worried about loading any new roms to try. Anyway, it's been fun chatting with myself for the most part. :silly:
Hello all
I have a GTN7100 running Phantom v11 N7100XXUFNI1 Aug 29 2014 3.0.31 kernel
KitKat 4.4.2
After seeing how fluid Lollipop is on this device it seems almost natural to want nothing else - Considering with my current ROM i have a memory issue, After booting, I have 850mb free from 2GB.
Within an hour i have 250mb, And everything becomes horribly slow. Constantly having to clear ram, Eventually this does nothing and it sits at 1.68GB ram usage with 85mb free.
Basically a slideshow. Forcing me to hard reboot.
Now I have 3 issues
1. Im running TWRP 2.8.0.1 And im worried ill have a soft brick, As i had this issue installing my current rom and had to do a bunch of sniffing around for answers which was very frustrating
2. I have a 64gb SD card i heavily rely on, And several other CustomRoms have had issues with my Card - Originally i had to buy a new 64GB card as for some stupid reason my previous one was wrecked after installing KitKat - It simply couldnt be read, Tried a bunch of tricks on my PC with it and to no avail. And this isnt something i want to go through again!
3. I have around 10k Text messages i need to backup - And upon coming to KitKat i lost over 50k messages as it was easy to back them up -- But to this day completely impossible to restore [ Phone locks up 80% of the way through, I left it running for almost a solid 24hr] And i need 'All' my Txts and what not restored easily after upgrading -- which programs like SMS Backup and Restore just cant offer as it seems anything over 5k messages just becomes a BS waiting game that never ends, And if it does end - No Messaging apps will open, None will repopulate conversations, And im forced to wipe everything clean as i was with my current ROM.
Lastly I apologize for just how No0B i sound, I have done alot of digging here, Found some solutions. But then theres things that contradict those fixes and confuse me!
I am over the memory leaks of my current ROM and to be honest after seeing a friend with his Nexus 6 running lollipop im in LOVE with the OS. Its beautifully simple and so fluid!
Hoping someone here can give me some simple tips on how to easily backup txts - Restore them so that messaging apps actually repopulate properly. - Can tell me if my SD card will work properly, And finally will my memory woes be solved? Or will Lollipop have even more issues with memory leaks?
Any help you guys can give is hugely appreciated!
Many thanks!
Okay Ive upgraded to Lollipop - Got stuck in a loop. Tried 2 other ROMS, Both looped. Found a 3rd Lollipop rom, Which is working.
Backed up my 10k txts, Restored them.
And agian, No messaging app opens anymore ughhhhhhh..
Just opens, Then closes. Tried 5 apps off the appstore.. Same thing...
When i went to KitKat and had this issue no one replied for a fix, Ended up having to wipe all my messages and just deal with it.
Can someone help this time around plleeassee??
I really need these txts
All help appreciated
