Hey all, I haven't seen this before and can't really find any info searching. I flashed CM10 and right away the phone said it had to be activated. I figured what the hell and tried to follow the prompts to activate it, it failed. I restored my nandroid backup to the stock TW rooted rom and again it said it needed to be activated, it activated just fine then.
What was that all about? Anyone know why that may have happened? I'm gonna try flashing CM10 again (or some other ROM) , but was wondering what I did wrong or what might have went wrong. It was a clean install of CM10...
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I flashed gapps at the same time I flashed CM10. It prompted me to activate the phone before the Google welcome/sign in procedure.

I know this will sound annoyed but I not trying to make it sound like that
Search in this forum as I saw other people having this.issue (dont remember where) and I think it was fixed
No worries... I've been searching here and Google before asking the question, but to no avail, maybe I'm just not forming my queries quite right...

Its possible that when you originally did the activation, it didn't ping the server in time from when you 'completed' activation. I've never heard of that issue, and if you were on 3G when doing it, it could have taken a couple minutes. So that's my go at the situation.
Ok so the fix for this issue was to flash a stock rom and follow the activation through with that, and then flash back to CM (reboot first)
If it still doesn't activate, or just to be safe, you can force activation through the dialer by using "##7...." I forget the rest >.<

Thanks for the replies. I did have very bad 3G signal at the time, maybe that could be it?.
The fix was to restore my backup and when it booted up, I was prompted to activate and it worked that time. This morning I did a clean install of CM10 again from the same .zip and it worked without issue.
This happened to me when I went to CM10 from CM10.1. Others have reported loss of service (need to reactive) in the CM10.1 thread. I restored to Touchwiz and all was good.
Yeah this happens sometime, when it does you just need to follow the activation through while using a stock rom

Just asked the same question a little while ago.
Try this:
Backup CM7
Wipe everything
Flash a sense ROM
Download MSL Reader from the market and get you MSL
Dial ##gpsclrx#
Enter MSL
Phone will reboot
Open maps and and get a lock
Back to recovery and wipe everything again
Restore CM7
You are using an experimental BETA rom, it says so when you download it. that being said, you are risking having things not work properly, like gps. If you want true working gps, and if you need it to work every single time, switch to a good sense rom. Otherwise you will have to live with it not working properly.
That being said, if you read the CM7 faq, try the ##gpsclrx# sense trick. It worked for me, and now my gps works about 80% of the time in CM7.
Also, there is no need to make a new thread to ask questions about CM7. There already is a HUGE thread for it. If you post in there, it will get answered in a matter of minutes.
Damm bro ur a android god!! It worked so far so good.. thanks a million!

Why yes I am using Google Voice for my voicemail I believe. How did you solve your friend's problem? Thanks so much for the quick reply dude!
That's the funny part. I don't really know what he changed to get it to start in the first place but all I do know was we changed some setting on the computer it was much easier to use the website then the phone. It was driving me nuts because I was flashing a rom at the time and out of no where the phone stopped working to I brought his phone to work on it and it just started to work. So I guess I would start by turning of Google voicemail in the settings and then you might have to give it a few to start to work then you should be good to go.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
So you don't know which setting that he changed?
Nope we seemed to change them all but we ended up just disabling it at the end because he did not like Google voicemail anyway sorry I wish I new what would have really worked but all I do no is that Google voicemail was his problem at the end. sorry man but trust me that was the problem.

It should be under settings/phones,you would do this from the google voice website once you sign in online the settings are on the far right,the tool icon.
Soooo stupid. I chatted with Sprint customer service and anyone who is having this problem heed my words. They told me to take the battery out, wait for 30 seconds, and restart. At first I was like...your sh****ing me right, generic advice...really Sprint? Then I did it and voila, my phone could make phone calls again.
Before anybody flames me, yes, I have searched every forum related to this issue. I am not a noob, just a lurker, so I don't have enough posts to post this in the development section. Here is my issue. I'm running Task650 and Ktoonsez 4.1.2 (build 11.18.2012) and I am trying to install a working version of google wallet. Before I go on, awesome ROM! I flash others and always come crawling back. Anyway, I've tried every variation on getting this to work out there, with no luck. This where I am at now. I can edit my build prop and get the market version of Wallet to work, but obviously it won't once I change my build prop back. If I try to flash the AT&T Modaco zip, I loose NFC in my setting menu. If I try to install the Modaco apk, it acts like its installing it, and at the end I get an "App didn't install" message at the end". My question is, how can I get this to work? If I can't, what exactly is the effect of leaving my build prop set on Nexus? Is it possible to flash the zip file, then extract something from an ota that I can flash to give me back NFC, but leave the rest of the changes the Mocado zip makes alone? If anyone can help me, I pretty much always donate to developers whose hard work I benefit from. Please help if you can. I am stubborn as gravity and will either get this to work or brick my phone trying.
Oh yeah, Its an AT&T phone.
I'm on the same ROM and have not encountered issues. Flash the modaco zip instead of installing, edit your build.prop, then reboot and add your card in the wallet app. After the card is added you can revert the build.prop.

I must have had a corrupt version of the file. I tried again and instead of loosing nfc, or wallet not showing up, the installation aborted. I redownloaded and reflashed with no issues. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Remember, if you ever switch ROMs always reset the Google wallet app before flashing the new ROM.

One more question. Have yuo had any issue with nfc toggling off randomly since flashing this? It seemed to be working fine but what I have noticed is that if I haven't used nfc for maybe twenty minutes, it toggles off. Its still checked, but I have to uncheck it and recheck it to get it to work. I usually set it to stay on even when my screen is off, and haven't had any issues with it before, even when the phone is asleep. I could write a tasker workaround, I suppose, but I would rather just fix it.
I did notice that occasionally the NFC settings become unavailable. A reboot always fixes it for me.

So I'm not sure if the recent Jelly Bean update had anything to do with this but I can't seem to delete this particular message thread in my inbox !!! Anyone else experience this ???
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
How many texts are in it?
There are none in it. It's just my contacts name, then when you click on it to open, it opens a blank text message asking you to enter the recipient. Then when I try deleting it, my phone lags a bit and then I get an error message stating "unfortunately messaging has stopped". It is so frustrating!!!
Then the message thread appears in my inbox again

dmarco,
I have not seen this issue myself as described, but it's near impossible to really help beyond that without any idea as to what ROM is running (if not stock).
Are you able to backtrace any steps to a point where it didn't do this?
I'm on stock actually and unrooted still, I have no freaking clue what gives here. The worse part is that it's a female classmate of mine whose thread I can't delete and I'm a little uneasy that my wife might see that, think there is something going on between us (which there isn't) and shoot me while I'm sleeping!!! LoL

dmarco,
It sounds like some obscure corruption, or an update if one did occur on your phone didn't go as smoothly as it should have.
I wish I could offer more of an answer, but if a resolution is needed quickly before your significant other becomes a significant suspect in a murder case, you could try a factory reset after backing up what you can of pictures etc.

Thanks for your help, I truly do appreciate it. Perhaps I could clear data or force stop the messaging app and see if that helps. Will that cause any serious issues to arise later though. Because it warns not to do so, so I'm just wondering... would you suggest that?
P.S. I honestly don't think she would kill me, I'm more than convinced that she would shoot to wound only. lol...seriously

Try going through app settings and clearing data and cache for messaging. Other than that factory reset might be your only other option

The only way I've remedied something similar is to clear data and wipe cache/dalvik but without a custom recovery Iono how. Last ditch effort is if you have root you can delete the database file with ALL your texts in it. I had to do this. Because I had 20k texts and it froze whenever I tried to delete.

Not trying to sound anal...
butt if you go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM the developer is sure to see it and others with the same ROM can easily test these things or help out quicker than posting this outside of that thread. sounds like a logcat may determine the issues location for fixing but if it is rom related you need to take it to the dev for a certain fix if one is available.
Just2Cents but Hope it helps

Yeah I had already the same thought..but you need to have 10 posts to be allowed to post in developer's thread..
I hoped arco or somebody else who has more knowledge than me would read it and offer me some support.
Or am I wrong?

Just use the stock rom and your problem is solved.
I never like to using cutom rom, but that's personal preferences.

have you tried other roms, it seems like there is a bug with your present rom, as one of the other poster said, try to inform the dev.
Seems that there are several others who complain about the app Springfield on Google play.
Nevertheless I've got still problems with other apps, that crash by opening them :-\
