[Q] weird sms recieved - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have rooted my wildfire recently, and flashed CM7 a month ago.
However, I restored it back to froyo as I found the camera app in CM7 very ineffective.
I use the camera a lot, so had to revert back to Froyo today.
Now I have been recieving weird sms messages that give me an option to save or cancel.
Please see the pictures attached.
Is is due to some app i might have installed and the permissions i gave it?
The sms messages are very frequent and pretty distressing as they disrupt my music too
Kindly help.
Regards,
Abhay

I rooted my phone by unlocking the bootloader from htcdev, downgraded the hboot version using "gold card " method, Used revolutionary to S-off and unrevoked to root.
I then made a back up of my froyo rom from backup options in the revolutionary recovery.
I flashed CM7.2 from the official CM website.
I neede the camera badly, so I had to go back to recovery and restored my froyo through recovery.
(I did wipe data, davlik cache etc according to the procedures mentioned on Xda )

Have you installed any apps from outside the play store recently? This is very strange. What number, if any is it being sent from?

Looks like your cellphone operator is sending you apn settings in the format which the phone cant read it.Which operator are you using ? BSNL ?

Three possibilities:
1. Service messages, stop them by DND
2. Some friend is sending u a flash message, try this from a nokia handset.
3. (Just kidding) You are using sms faker..

I am on DND. so, can't be service messages.
Don't have an idea about flash messages, but these are not like routine sms.
routine sms doesn't prompt me to save or cancel as in the first picture..

I dont think so,I think bsnl has been sending you apn settings, and trust me they have worst phone database. May be customer care people could explain better?

Done that as soon as you suggested the idea. i already have settings for gprs, and the customer care has denied having sent anything.
I plan to back up some apps with titanium, then do a factory reset and see if that works.
One important doubt though: Is it ok if i do a factory reset from settings, rather than from recovery?

Its the same.
Let me tell you, I dont think reseting will solve ur prob. It might be some app, maybe something like fb try to remember where u gave ur no. and when did this start.
Uninstall some suspicious apps that arent much popular in market..

If a factory reset does fix this then it will have most likely have been a rouge app. But if it is a network text, they wouldn't know as it would most likely be a automated service.

Most likely as said above its app you installed, but if you find out what caused it for definite let me know because I had a similar issue when I first got wildfire

Backup SMS to cloud or another way ?

Hi,
My desire is bricked so I have no SD card access or USB connectivity and I want to export my SMS messages to my new sensation.
Any ideas how I can copy my SMS messages from my Desire (bricked) to my sensation ?
The import tool on the sensation won't copy over the SMS messages.
Thanks for any help.
You cant get anything off a bricked phone as it is bricked. Are you sure its bricked?

Yep it's bricked I've tried all the things mentioned in other threads and no joy.
I'm planning on trying my luck at sending it back for repair as it's still under warranty but wanted to get my SMS off it if possible.
Does ,adb recognise it or no?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
brick is a term which is very over-used... tell us what is ACTUALLY wrong with it rather than just saying it's bricked. Does it turn on? yes? then it's not bricked. simple. (unless it's radio brick then you're f**ked).. If it doesn't turn on then okay it's bricked.
Try my guide maybe theres something on there you can find. However most solutions to problems make you lose data anyway so I dunno how much help It'll be to restoring your sms LOL

The phone works except for the fact I can't access the SD card or connect via USB.
I had a quick look at your guide and I don't think any of it relates to the SD card access issue, reading through other threads most people suggest running fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 to fix the issue but this doesn't work for me.
That's a standard usb "brick". Go through one of the usb brick threads from start to finish

Need some advice...

Hi all..
I recently got my HTC One X and unlocked the bootloader, installed Clockwordmod followed by flashing a couple of different ones to see which one I liked.. (All of them are snappy, feel & look great...)
Where the problem lies is when I try to play a game or watch a video (aka accessing the gpu) the system instantly freezes and then reboots..
This problem never occurred using the stock software only became apparent when I started using customs.
It happens with all games I've tried...
Problem is now what shall i do? I made the foolish error of not backing up my stock ICS.
My phone is unbranded, so perhaps I could use someone elses unbranded stock rom to revert back to?
Shall I unroot? Pretty bloody worried to be honest... what if i've broke it?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for replying so fast.
I was just looking for what you suggested and cannot find it anywhere in the development section nor in the "everything htc one x" thread...
Am I being blind?
Also, do I just flash it like a normal room? (e.g. put it on my internal memory and flash through recovery?)
Thanks again

Superwipe wipes the system as well, going between different ROMs without doing this may be the cause of your issues. Back up and try it out

Adam, thank you for helping this far.
I have completed a superwipe along with clearing cache and wiping data, reinstalling stock rom and no luck. the problem still occurs... open up a game and it instantly freezes and reboots itself.
Argh, my stomach feels rough...
What do you think i should do now?
edit: just a quick update, have tried various roms and the problem occurs in all. superwiped everytime as well. i think its a problem with the gpu...
in the mean time if anyone else could chime in with any ideas/help would be v.grateful..
otherwise should i send phone back?

If you send the phone for repairs HTC will claim the mainboard needs changing and try to charge you several hundred for it because your bootloader is unlocked.
Try going to settings>developer options and toggling force GPU rendering

Have tried this too, no luck.
Any other ideas? The phone works perfect apart from this...
It's a new contract phone and comes with a 30 day fault return, couldn't I unroot it and give that a go? Would they know?.
Bump for this one last time before I try and get it replaced.
Any thing else I can do?

[Q] unfortunately the process.android.process.acore has stopped

Hey guys so i know there are plenty of threads going over this issue and even a official t mobile page explaining how to fix the issue but I'm all out of options. So i was running the stock rooted rom and saw a beats installer app in the market and decided to check it out. I proceeded with the process but when i got to the end and the app said the phone will now reboot the phone froze. I waited but after awhile decided to reboot the phone. I rebooted and the phone stayed stuck on the Samsung screen. I then proceeded to flash the stock rom i found online ( i think it was adroid police ) and rebooted. I noticed the phone didnt wipe though. I didnt have to log into google or anything. When i got back home, everything and its mom started to fail. Pop up screens so bad that i had to pull the battery and went back into odin and decided to oding the stock rooted rom. Got back to the home screen ( my phone didnt wipe after odin either ) and everything was failing still. I decided i better factory reset. That helped alot. After all day of getting my phone back together and loosing game data, i went to play virtual city and that wouldnt load. I gave up and uninstalled. I then went to join my contacts and after deleting contacts my phone pops the same error. What now? Hoping someone knows something i dont. Thanks guys.
If anyone cares, I did another factory reset but from the settings menu instead of recovery and the phone seems to be running great so far. Keeping my fingers crossed

Ran into that problem recently. Fixed by clearing data on contact and contact storage in app manager.
Happens sometimes when ever a new ROM is flashed.
I'm also getting the same error. I started getting it after trying to root with the odin procedure with no flash counter increase. when i flash the stock image back it works normally, but i want root!

Android bug
The problem occurs due to a bug in android , when you have saved a contact's birthday as 29 Feb, which occurs only in leap years. temporary solution is to change the birth date to any other date until google releases a fix .
I get the error with google failing more than I'd like to count...

I had that issue. Took me a while to figure out that I had forgotten to clear all my caches when I flashed the new 4.2.1 AOKP ROM. Cleared the caches and the problem was resolved.

Phone doesn't start after lollipop update

Hey guys,
My friend installed the new lollipop ota and his phone doesn't start normally anymore.
He says that some failure reports show up and that he might report the error/failure.
He has no rooted phone or something like that. He never tried.
What can he do? Ota installing manually from original recovery or such things like that?

Send it for repairs. It is less than a year old and if he never rooted it is defective and his warranty is still good.

Yes, I think this is a Problem for Warrenty.
Try this first. Yesterday i resolved the problem by my self.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/bootl-loop-lollipop-update-t3016142
BUT TRY WARRENTY FIRST.
Phone gives error reports when booted Help i don't know if I have the same problem but my HTC One m8 went ballistic after I tried to install lollipop. For reference I have a sprint (unconnected) Htc One m8 Harmon Karman edition with Ł launcher as a launcher. I went to settings and found an update. The update download and then installed. When the phone went to boot it booted then instead of taking me to the home screen, it took me to a white page with a loop of error reports of apps not working. I can't get into the phone at all. I tried to boot in recovery but that did nothing. Please help I'm desperate.

how to downgrade to android 6

hi
I have an HTC 10 Nougat 7.0 v2.41.401.4
phone is unlocked and S-ON
It's camera stopped working so I googled and I did a lot of work (clearing cash ,master reset , .....)some told it might be a software problem so there is a chance by downgrading to Android 6 and camera might work!
how could I do that?
I'm not professional at this would you please explain with detail?
Is there any official Rom higher than mine(v2.41.401.4 )?

I don't see how that would fix your issue, but in any case the only way to downgrade to 6.0 would be to pay for S-Off first.
You could try running the ruu for your current version and see if it helps. It would restore your phone to a fully virgin state.
I really dont know how could it help (downgrading)but some people who had same problem told downgrading to android 6 helped camera came back!
you mean I download RUU with the my current version and flash it ?

Yeah that's one thing you could try first and see if it helps. Don't forget that it completely wipes your phone so back everything up.

You don't really need TWRP to clear cache.
To do that, you go to setting -> Apps -> Camera
Click on Storage, at the very bottom, there is clear data and clear cache buttons. <You want to back up all your pictures before clearing anything!>
A factory reset will also do the same thing, but that would erase everything on the phone.
Both the steps assume something in the software is messed up, and you are returning the phone to virgin state to start over.
Clearing cache/data in camera app resets the app in case some setting is messed up. Factory reset should restore all settings of the phone to default, get rids of all added apps, etc. More drastic step is to reinstall the firmware in case it is corrupted. You can do that with TWRP if you have a nandroid backup, or use an RUU from HTC.
(I downloaded TWRP for HTC 10 -one file about 30 MB- and after installing through twrp I wiped all cash and after reboot camera came back also with auto focus problem and bad picture quality)
well only it was OK for one hour and after that camera gone!!!
Its a hardware problem
All things done by me was useless !!!
I recommend you send it to HTC support (warranty)
and don not waste your time like me!!!
