Develop Bugs

People aren't recieving my MMS with all ROMs

I recently flashed my wife's Tilt 2 with several different builds of the EnergyRom and then finally back to the stock HTC Rom. With all of them after whenever she sends someone a MMS, it says that it was sent successfully and then the other person's phone even wakes up like it is about to receive a message but then nothing ever comes through. I have spent a lot of time searching through the Rom development forum and found no solution. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

go back to the energy rom thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
hit the 'search this thread' button just below the page #'s.. then click 'advanced search'
and then in the search box on the left for keywords.. type 'mms*' then hit search..
it could be a few things aparently.. maybe something with 'carrier provisioning' not doing what it should?
really though, i'm not trying to be a jerk.. I just spent better than a couple of hours trying to get my sending limits to 600KB..
that's how i finally got it.. just searching and searching..

No in my post it clearly states that I am now having this problem with all ROMs. I have gone back to the stock HTC ROM and it is still happening so it has nothing to do with the Energy ROM.
I have read about the issue with carrier provisioning and since I did not use it I know that it is not related to that. Flashing several different ROMs including the stock ROM has not changed this problem. Once again, does anyone have any actual ideas about why this would be happening?

contact your carrier.... Sounds like somehow you may have missed one of their automatic sim updates. The carriers regularly send them out for.. I have no idea why actually. But I know I was having issues with my touch pro (problems sending texts and phone calls would cut out after only a few minutes) because somehow my sim didnt get the random update they send out every so often.
If they do determine that is the issue what they have you do is call from a land line or something while they update your sim, from there you have to reset your phone and they'll then do some check and once thats done everything will be fixed.

Did you ever solve this? I've changed my number in voicemail as well. Still get the notification when the phone boots up. Frustrating, to say the least!

Clear the Notifications
Hi,
I am not sure if anyone has found the answer to this question yet but if you have not, here it is. I just re-flashed my EVO 4G with the Warm Z TwoPointTwo (RLS 1) custom rom. I had the same problem, the voicemail icon in the upper left corner and it said, dial *86. I went into Menu>Settings>Call>Clear voicemail notification. This fixed my problem.
FYI...The Warm Z TwoPointTwo Custom Rom Rocks. I have my phone over-clocked at 1.2MHz.
The rom is amazing. I am running 2.6.32.27-netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-noUV-nosbc Kernel

New voice mail latest cyanogen mod

With all the past froyo roms every one that I have tried i've gotten that new voice mail notification but there is none.
I changed my voice mail number as directed to *my phone number.
But i'm still getting the notification...
Anyone have a fix?
Thanks

Just changed my voice mail number again. Now with out the *!!! Still getting notification..... seems like no one has a positive fix for this....

In the RC1 thread, cyanogen posted that they have a temporary fix and it will be in tonight's nightly. They are investigating what the actual issue is (apparently it's something with the way Sprint handles things).

Oh okay. Thank you for the info.
Finally get a straight answer.

[Q] *86 Voice Mail notification on NON-SENSE ROMS

OK I know this has been brought up a few times in the CM threads. I get this ghost VM notification on CM6 and on all the nightlys. I also am getting this ghost VM notification on the MIUI rom. I do NOT get this notification on ANY sense ROMs I have tried.
I read this Forum everyday as much as I can. I have tried search. Every thing that comes up close to what I have going on doesn't seem to get fully answered as to why this is coming up on some phones and not others.
I flashed CM6 and a few nightlys on my Wifes phone and She has NEVER received the *86 VM notification.
I am always updated to the most current PRL, PRI and NV. Nothing I have tried will clear this message. On the CM6 ROM I can hit the clear button under the notification bar and that clears it for a little while but then the damn thing comes back.
Can anyone explain this and offer up a FIX. I know I'm not the only one.

Any one have any help on this?

Yeah I have this problem too, so I went back to fresh and I am waiting for the desire hd rom to be ported... :/

I guess I'm in the club also. Same problem when I was on Vaelpak. Flashed back to stock, rooted, for a while. Now on Fresh.

Thank you Brutus for the input.
I know all about that part of the set-up. This DOES NOT get rid of the Ghost notification. I still will get a notification that I have a voice mail (and YES I have checked to make sure my VM's are cleared out).
Just FYI I use google voice when I am on CM6 or nightlys. Google Voice works great but still will not clear the VM notification.

Dont skip my post I am going to say two diffrent things . First normaly you get the notification because you received a voicemail. The stock rom has a code writen in to block that text so that you dont see the notification when you receive a voicemail.
Now Jetdr I will try to answer your question here. I think your voicemail hasnt been provisioned. Click on your VVM app and hit menu, when you hit menu you should have 3 options, compose, search and settings. If you have a 4th option that says unsent or undelivered click it. When VVM sets up, it automaticly sends a voicemail to the server to setup your VVM. If that message doesnt get sent then it probably never will. You will have to uninstall the VVM.Apk and reinstall the app. One time when I was setting up CM6 I had to install the voicemail apk several times before I got it to provision correctly. If it doesn provision a minute or two after you install it then its not going to. Not sure if this is whats causing your ghost voicemail text but I am thinking this is it. The easiest way to tell is to just click the vvm app and see if it shows four options or three. It should only show three.
If you are using google voice you dont still have the sprint VVM installed do you? If you dont have the sprint VVM installed then I am not sure whats causing your issue considering my directions to fix your issue is in regardes to the sprint vvm app.
Hope that helps.

I've tried all that and more.... nothing fixes it. I've concidered calling sprint but don't want to ruin my insurance..

Twilk... thanks so much for the response. I did all you suggested and I flashed back over to the newest MIUI ROM and I still have the VM notification. I made sure I didn't have any voice mails before I flashed. The notification will not clear even with the settings selected to not show.
Initially it has the *86 number but when I change the VM settings to my number it of course then comes up in the drop down box with my number.
The same thing happens on CM ROMs.

My notification says 4 voicemails... so I'm wondering if when I rooted my phone I had voicemails.. I don't really listen to my voicemails.. i'd rather just receive a text from someone... I just wish that I had made sure to clear my box before I rooted.. not sure if this is the reason for it... but it doesn't seem like there are many users with this problem. I'm sort of anti-twitter or I would ask cyanogen myself.. this is soo annoying! Especially since I hate voice mail to begin with.. I don't read my bills much, but I think sprint charges for voicemail.. anyway I can cancel my voicemail service? Also they charge me to keep a spending limit.. I want to call sprint and ask to cancel my voicemail..

Updates ???
Feb 3 - 2011
Anybody ever figure this one. Or do we just clear the message on each reboot?

Clear dalv. and cache,then change *86 to your mobile number then block 9016 from your sprint account.I added youmail and mine works perfect.I get txt and VM very quick.If the person that left you the voice mail is in your contacts it will show them as leaving the VM and you can just tap on there pic and it will play the ones they left you.
And I have no phantom notifications or anything odd.

[Q] Annoying Texts - Recent

I'm hoping someone can help me out...
Late last week I changed my ROM to HenseMod7 (for VM) - to give it a try and because some of the other ROMs I had been trying were giving me issues with MMS, calls and other things. All was good - or so I thought.
A day or two after I made the change - I started getting text messages from 999-999-9999. These text messages are all gibberish - letters, symbols and numbers mixed together. They always come two messages together and about 12 hours apart (so about 4 per day). I delete them as soon as I see they are in my list.
I saved the contact to my phone and blocked it as a caller.
I went onto the VM website and logged into my account and blocked the "number" for text messages - but since I know it isn't a "real" number - you've probably guessed it - I'm still getting these messages.
Might this be something related to the ROM somehow? I mention that only because all the other ROMs I've tried since I rooted my phone have not had this particular issue. This is the first time I've gone back to a Sense-styled ROM (made particularly for VM) and it's the only time I've gotten these spam texts.
I hesitate calling VM about this issue if it could/might be related to the ROM since I know they are less than helpful when you root your phone.
Any thoughts, ideas, input or help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks all!

Hi,
Your problem is very strange and honestly, I tried HenseMod and I didn't get this error. It is although true that this ROM has some problems with text messages as I couldn't send a long message (the ROM could not split the long message into several small messages of 160 characters).
I can see only two solutions : either you change of ROM (there are maaanny good ROMs for the Wildfire S) either you reinstall your ROM, verifying you have the good version for your phone model (marvel, marvelc, etc.). Maybe you can also update your radio if you can do it and know how to do it, but I guess it wouldn't be really helpful in that case.
Do you think these messages come from a real person ? Maybe there are some network problems, or maybe the ROM cannot read the message from a particular network / phone, I don't know.
Good luck

just another option it could be a service network message that is not coming through properly. in the uk when you activate your sim card in a new phone uk carriers send you a text message that contains the network settings to get online. if your access point is not already configured
it could be getting scrambled somehow. if you can you could try to contact your phone carrier. go into a hop if possible and ask them if they have kept any logs of sending you service messages. if so maybe try to cross reference them and see?

Thank you both Izzy and Heavy_Metal_Man for your thoughts on this.
Since I first posted the question, I have changed ROMs and the problem has stopped. This is the curious thing. I have been trying different ROMs on my phone since I first rooted it last winter and only with HenseMod have I had this kind of annoyance.
In searching the internet on this - I have found posts by other Virgin Mobile users about this same issue. At one point someone mentioned that it was some kind of message from "Telus" (which is a Canadian provider - but I live in the US - and quite a distance from Canada). Most of those posts were from non-US users.
I do receive updates from VM without issue - so I don't think it's that.
I have a Marvel C phone if that adds anything to the equation.
Thanks again for your input. Anyone else have thoughts?

So the problem really comes from the ROM and it isn't really strange because HenseMod is known to have some SMS bugs

My first thoughts were some kind of loopback error related to cell broadcasts and/or emergency message notifications. If you consider the times you mentioned, have some imagination, and throw in some cross-talk pollution it might even jive with what h_m_m (heavy_metal_man) was saying (in terms of it repeating); however, when I looked at the ROM, it's strictly GB/CM7 and those features weren't incorporated until ICS. So I'm gonna say that h_m_m has the most plausible reason. Thank goodness you found another ROM that works and can move on and leave the problem to those who want to keep trying to figure it out.

Ive had another thought about it. What base version is the Rom made from? If it's based from a carrier specific Rom and then "De-carrierized" it may have been conflicts left in the networking configuration that made the cdma/gsm believe it was in another country and needed roaming data settings. In any event I'm glad your sorted pal

Thank you!
Thank you all for your thoughts and comments on this matter. I truly appreciate it!
As I previously mentioned, once I changed the ROM - the annoying texts stopped. So perhaps (as others have mentioned) it may be a quirk of the ROM itself.
I do like trying different ROMs - makes me feel like I've got a new phone for a brief time, while I still have my little Wildfire S. Its a fun "exercise" for me. Wish some more developers would build for the MarvelC though.
Thank you all again!
