[Q] Ginger Villain 3.3 Notification Vibrate Issue - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been using GV 2.7 on my Desire for about 6 months and decided to upgrade to 3.3 today but I've got a problem.
Both times after installing/upgrading my phone won't vibrate when I get texts and emails but it will when I receive calls and turn the volume down to zero. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months but this time I'd like to be more pro-active. Can anyone help?
I've tried installing Sound Manager and playing around with the setting but to no avail!
Cheers,
Mike

Having the same issue and is looking for a solution. Any updates on this matter?

Hi,
i am on villain_au that the guys at rom-au prepaired. It has some small upgrades in it and some extra settings for the australia network. The settings for the network are no problem (you remove or take the ones from your sim)
so far no problems ..got an occasional forced close of an app, but that could be the app as well. No boots.

TMobile WM2003 Upgrade Issues

I was wondering if anyone else was having the following issues with the new T-Mobile upgrade, and if anyone had any ideas on how to resolve them:
* The phone turns on sporadically when it is in my pocket. I think this normally happens when it tries to connect to GPRS
* The phone doesn't give me notification of my voice mail all the time
Thanks,
Dan

I'm seeing #1. In my case it looks like it's every time that the Inbox checks the email. Beta Version 4.00.16 didn't do this (so I might go back).
I had #2 occasionally even with PPC2002. Do you go in and out of coverage areas? This can cause problems, I think.
tmo never fails....
the ghost affect was an issue with the previous tmo betas...but it was not a prblm with att's latest rom
I have a different issue with my newly upgraded rom from tmo:
everything works fine
...except :shock:
wen i press the power button to turn the xda back on, it wont do anything at all
the button works to turn back light off, and to turn the unit off, but not back on
Im about to try with sum other Roms, but has any one eperienced this issue, or might know what might be causing it? (additional soft)?

I had to restart my computer to solve this... Sometimes, you need to restart the XDA also.

Upgraded Driver
If you allow the TMOBILE upgrade to install the new updates for you, it also installs a new driver in to your XDA that illiminates ALL upgrade problems from what I have seen.

Upgrade
I have done a hard reset on the phone and I run into the problem when I first start the upgrade. It goes through an initial setup of "unpacking" and after that is when I get the error on the pc. The device connects fine with ActiveSync.
I'm having the turn back on issue, and also some times my text messages don't seem to come through.
I was thinking that maybe when it turns itself on, it's a text message trying to come through or something.
My texts end up coming through in a group!
yep, same here on the sms and missed calls...
i got voice mail, from 3 days ago, show up today!
and.. sms from midnight lastnight, came today at 5pm
although, i DID make fone calls this morning, so... the out of range thingie dont apply here..
also... i cant print to IR anymore!
I just upgraded with T-Mobile.16 ROM and Radio. The only bug im experiencing is when I receive a new sms, and I read it already, the notification of "1 unread SMS" on the Today panel won't go away.
I'm also having a hard time setting up my connection settings (MMS and GRPS) for the advanced section of the connection won;t show the proxy settings. Any1 who has a solution for this? I'm usign the mobile in the Philippines that's why I need to setup the proxy per connection and not per connection group.
Upgrade
Nevermind! I hate when it's something simple like disabling the antivirus on the pc. DUH!! :roll: I have yet to get any sms. Will keep watching :shock:

I am yet to received any errors like this. The only time I seem to have the XDA turn on is when the reception fringes and it hunts down better reception. It only takes a moment of poor reception to interfear with how it receives a message and than the system waits several hours sometimes to send it.
T-Mobile as with many other carriers like Verison and AT&T state to excpet up to 24 hours for SMS messages to get through to your phone.

Yes, I had this issue today and I then unistalled the KSE TrueFax Trial (which I installed yesterday) and now the power button is working correctly again. The only way to power up the XDA was to do a soft-reset.
HTH...
i didnt think xda 1 had fax capabilities! atleast I couldnt get them to work, could u?

FYI, I had the same problems with the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM. I go into many building where I get no signal at all. My guess is that, if the SMS message fails, the T-Mobile network will retry it, but sometimes not for quite a long time.

I have a similar problem. When the device powers off automatically (after about 3min) I can't get it to come back on. Doing a soft reset actually makes it do a hard reset. Also, while it's in this "coma" state, I can receive a call and hear the person on the other end, but they only hear a ring and can't hear me.
T-mobile had no clue what to do... as usual.

Windows Live! Today plugin crashing WM6

Hello everyone, I recently upgraded to the LVSW WM6 and noticed that the Windows Live! today plugin was crashing my device. (By process of elimination)
Is anyone else having this same problem?
Thanks!
I kept it on for less then a day..
Didn't have any crashing but did find a bunch of bugs in it..
More of a pain then anything else..
could you guys point me to which WLM you're using? I can't even seem to connect!

Its pissing me off...I took of live but its crashed 6 times since then...it wont turn back on unless I soft reset.

Call answer delay?

I'm working with a Tilt2 running the stock euro HTC 6.5 rom
and I have an odd delay. once a call comes in and I either use
the "slide to answer" feature or if i just press the call answer button
there is a long...sometimes 10 second delay between my action and
the call actually connecting.
During this time i often miss calls and ive asked those who are calling me
what they hear and they say my phone goes silent for 10 seconds before i
answer. any ideas?
Someone else found this link, not me -- and I haven't tried it, but I have experienced similar (3 secs though and not often).
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=458469&postcount=1
After doing this it does seem to pick up the calls a lot faster but now I'm getting a slew of various data connection errors. SOTI wont connect, my weather tab will not connect.
Thanks for the assist I'm going to try and find a happy balance between the two reg settings
Update: I was wrong initially about the reg edit fixing things. I had my wife call immediately after the edit and it seemed to fix it when I noticed the connection issues through various programs.
Well during work today I answered about 7 calls. The delay affected all of the and on all but 1 the call actually disconnected before it allowed me to speak. so i will be reversing the red edit to combat the connection issues.
So clarify a few questions I Got regarding this:
When the phone rings and I press the answer button or "slide to answer" the ringing does stop and the icon in the task bar shows a call connected. but for me and my caller we hear dead silence for 10 seconds until they either hang up or the call connections. Any ideas friends?
I'm having the same issue on my US AT&T Tilt 2. It is driving me crazy, the regedit did not fix anything for me either. Did you figure you this out at all?
Are you guys running stock or a custom ROM? I have had this issue in seven ROMS. In my case, it seems that my phone has to have the ATT Dialer to avoid this. Tried Energy Photon and Leo,Josh Koss, TPS, and Shadowline. All had this problem. I'm now on Fusion 6.0 with the ATT Dialer. Not one issue. Day before I flashed this one, I missed 19 calls at work because I couldn't get the slider to register. Tried TPC's latest last night(he uses the HTC Dialer), missed calls. Flashed ATT Stock no problem. Fusion is the only other ROM I found with an ATT Dialer.
It seems there is a conflict in the device when connecting.
Some things to try:
- remove the custom dialer (just use the WM6 dialer, but this will loose video calls)
- check if there is some call-recording software that kicks in
- does this happen when the device is off or also when it was already on?
I'm Using HTC's stock rom instead of the ATT rom. since I'm America I really would not be apposed to loosing video call from the dialer since Its not supported on my network but I'm really not sure how to change the dialer back to AT&Ts ...is this something that would have to be cooked into the rom because I cant stand AT&T's rom.
Flash a ROM that uses the AT&T dialer: problem solved.
Your options are: Stock AT&T, At0mAng, Arrupenthal, Twopumpchump roms.
So how do we go about getting a cab file of the AT&T dialer, video share and PTT packages that each individual user can apply as needed? Is this even possible and would it require uninstalling whatever dialer the chefs cooked in? I think it would be impractical to ask the chefs to make two versions of their ROMs (one for at&t tilt2 users and one for everyone else) as I have attempted to cook my own ROM and know how difficult it can be.
Thanks,
Stephen

Desire drops call after a moment

Hi guys, I have a strange problem.
Sometimes when I try to call someone, the phone cuts off the connection right before it should vibrate to signal that the phone was answered. This means I can hear the other side picking the phone up, but I hear like "H" (sharp, short) when they try to say "hello". No matter whether I have phone by my ear or laying on the table, sometimes it cuts off, other times it doesn't. When I make the call again, it works.
This started to happening to me since I've updated my sw version to 1.21, when it was 1.15, it worked like a charm. For the last 4 days I tried to make 3 calls, every one of them was cut out and worked on the second try.
Anyone has the same problem/knows the solution?
Thank you very much, It's annoying as hell since every call costs me twice
EDIT: I'm using stock ROM, updated with OTA, no root
------------------------------
Sorry for my English, I'm Czech.
Really? No one?
desire drops calls after a few seconds
Hi!
I've the same problem, since today - very annoying. All start with a call from a friend and after I said "hello" the call ends, but network connection was fine (4 bars). After that I tried to call him back 10 times, every time the same thing - call drops after 1-3 seconds.
A Reboot solved the problem for one time, next call same issue. Tried my sim in the HTC Wildfire of my colleague - same network, everything is fine.
Now I started to uninstall all Taskkiller and other apps i recently added - no change. After 30 min try and error I realised that if I turn of the "Mobile Internet" and therefore the 3g connection, it works better.
anyone have a clue what this could cause?
Joint the club.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712030
Mine does exactly the same thing... first of all I thought it was the phone... returned it... new phone, different sim.... same problem.
Geeba have you tried to turn off "mobile internet"?
After my problems yesterday I turned it off and since that no call was dropped!!
Maybe its some sort of concurrent use of 3g Network and the data threads kill the call ... actually I'm no expert in Mobile Networks.
I'm looking forward to Froyo and hope to get rid of the probs.
Minos - yes I have turned off the 3g - but I then have internet connection problems... pretty pointless having a smart phone that has no internet access..
But yes it does help... the Desire I think should be able to monitor the two signals and switch between them accordingly .... but it doesn't. my Mrs has the Hero... it doesn't suffer this problem so personally I think its a problem with the desire.... I'm going to wait till Froyo then if its no better there will be a nice unbranded black Desire gracing ebay!
had the same issue for a few days then i uninstalled juice defender and i havnt had a single dropped call after
I have had the same issue. And then I have read somewhere here what to do.
You must first enter the phone's debug menu: *#*#4636#*#*
Then Choose "Phone Info", scroll down to" Set preferred network type" and set this to GSM auto (PRL). For me it solved all the call drop problem. As you are on different network maybe some other setting will work for you but it might worth to take a try with it.
I am not exactly sure what this sets. One thing is sure I still have 3G and HSUPA connection - and all type of connection works like charm. So nothing changed just no more call drops since then.
benoke: Thanks for your idea, actually my Desire is now beying hospitalized as it had dust under the screen, anyway I reported dropping calls as an issue too while returning in warranty so we'll see what happens
i sent a support question to htc and got that answer:
"Thank you for contacting HTC. In regards to your question, I can help you with that. It does indeed sound like a hardware fault, I would be grateful if you would call our tech-suooprt team and let our agents arrange the return / repair of this device for you. If you could just call 0845 890 0079, we can arrange the collection. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required."
But I don't think its an HW issue.
@benoke: the GSM auto setting worked - four 1h now.
Minos: it is good to hear that it might work for you too. I have recommended it to some of my friends and they all say it works for them.. so it really seems like solution...
Try the new version 5.09x radio in the android development in desire forum to see if that miight help
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Haven't found a way to solve this issue yet. They told me at the service station that this is unrepairable issue occuring only with some SIM cards and that they would give me a refund.
I'm buying HTC Desire HD when it is available...

Desire keeps asking for PIN

Hi all,
have had my Desire for a couple of months now, well pleased with it. I have not in any way modified it other than installed some apps from market. This afternoon after lunch while it was in my Brodit car holder I suddenly noticed it was asking for PIN code. Entered it, fine. But then a couple of minutes later, same thing again. And again.
Just now I was typing an SMS to somebody and just before finishing screen blanks out, then the screen asking for PIN comes up.
What the heck?
Anybody who has had similar problems and knows what causes/caused them?
I haven't had the battery or sim card out or anything, it just suddenly started doing this.
Cheers
//Joris
*edit*
I have tested switching off the phone, removing battery for a couple of mins then reinserting and rebooting, but same problem persists.
Wonderful, we're going on holidays in 2 days.... :'(
Well I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the problem was, tested with another SIM but same. Completely random, sometimes it would last half an hour sometimes not even a minute.
Did a clear storage/hard reset and after that all seems fine. Except for that my conversations were still there, but somehow if I get an sms from somebody now it's added to the wrong conversation. Then if I reply to it, it goes to the person in the conversation, not the person who sent the msg
Deleted all msgs now so should be sorted. Think a problem with all contacts syncing to and from Microsoft Outlook, it messed up all phone numbers like this:
46 2342423423
so no + and a space between country code and phone number. ANnoying as heck but haven't figured out if there's a setting in outlook or htc sync to solve this.

What ROM/Radio is it running?? is it unbranded??
I have no idea. Bought from Komplett here in Sweden, i.e. unbranded and unlocked. It's running what it came with since there haven't been any updates and I haven't the balls to start experimenting about with it
Strange, I just picked up my Desire today. I rooted it this evening and only noticed it happening after rooting it. I didn't run it for very long unrooted though, so I don't know if it's related. I wonder what's causing it.
maybe this helps:

Thanks but it goes to SIM lock rather than phone lock... like when you first switch on your phone. The phone doesn't reboot though, it just asks for the SIM pin all of a sudden, even when you're doing something on it.

i also had this problem (well more or less) for me it happened when my cellphone signal dropped to limited service (or no services at all) after the phone picks up a signal again its asks for a pin. you mind want to check this out aswell. i fixed this by going into the settings and fiddling around with network/mobile operator settings and such, soz i cant remember exactly, but this did the trick for me.
hope it helps.
I was going to take it back to the shop when I thought I'd try a different ROM first. I installed the OpenDesire 3.0.1 Froyo ROM last night and so far it hasn't done it yet. Maybe the official Froyo ROM won't have that problem either.
Tester app
Hi
I've been having the same problem on my X10 Mini Pro for the last couple of days. To try and figure out what's causing this I've made a small app that checks the sim-status periodically. If it's not available or a pin-code is required for unlocking it the phone starts vibrating plus default notification-sound.
If you're fast you can check your device's LogCat with aLogCat (available from market). At least you'll get notified that you're unreachable
Since I have no Market-account yet you have to upload it to your phone manually with adb. Search google for a howto.
See attached file.
Hi!
Do you have Exchange 2010 sync?
Hi have the same porblem with LG Optimus 2x.
Tom.
