[Q] Is the sms to wrong receiver bug still here?

Hello everybody. I'm interested in buying an HTC Desire as I found a nice offer and have been following Android developement for a while.
There is a big question mark though, and it's the infamous "sms to wrong receiver" bug. It has been spotted a few times in the past, and even though it's pretty rare I'd like to be sure that it may never occur.
I heard that update 2.3.2 for nexus S fixes this one, is there a solution for the Desire?
Thanks for your help

I think the solution is wait for Gingerbread... I hope we get 2.4 or at least 2.3.3...

Are there custom Roms which state clearly to have taken care of this issue and solved? Yeah this is a big concern for me

factor reset
maybe work

The problem is with the stock android sms app, as it doesn't just send it to the wrong contact, but somehow you end up in the wrong thread because of it handling jumping in and out of the app in an odd way. So using another sms app like chomp or handsend should resolve it.
Personally i haven't had it happen to me on the htc sms app either, and i've been using the phone for more than a year.
Also there is of course the roms based on vanilla 2.3.3 like oxygen, which should include the fix for the std. sms app.
edit: 123xdagsm that just shows, that you have no idea, what this bug is about.. No factory reset will of course not help, and if you read the thread you would know that he haven't even bought the phone yet.

It happened to me few times that a wrong thread opened.
Never had problem with phone sending to wrong person!

Android 2.3.2 has the SMS fix, the new Gingerbread custom ROMs have all have updated to 2.3.3 so they have the fix.

Thank you all for support, I'm now considering buying a Nexus S as I don't want to mess with ROMs that much (I guess I'll change my mind soon though ). If I can't find it with a decent price a Desire with a 2.3.2+ ROM is my choice!

On multiple roms ringtone plays

On multiple roms I have a bug where my phone plays a ringtone or something over and over again and won't stop! All I can do is turn ringtone down. Does anyone have this problem

Never heard of that problem before. It couldn't be kernel or radio issue. Have you considered flashing stock RUU?

The only cause that I can think of is either by specific applications installed or hardware issue (unlikely). I can't think of anything else. By the way, try format everything, including the SD card. Just guessing.

[B][Q] WFS cyanogen-battery save-restrictions.[/B]

Hi all,
I'm new at xda and love to be involved with the devices. I searched something about my question but couldn't find anything that satisfy me. Thats why I made a post. If a made a mess, I already apologize for all.
I'm using Infrarom v0.3 on my Wildfire S and I'm very noob at android issues. So, could you please be clear?
my questions are:
1.What are the bugs of cyanogen 7.2? what makes cyanogen 7.2 better? or do you suggest me cyanogen 9 or higher?
2.What is the most battery-saver rom? cuz Infrarom is quite bad at battery performance.
3.Is there any restriction to get back in terms on kernel or something if I flash cyanogen or other roms?
King regards
Uncle

The only bug remaining in cyanogenmod 7 is the usb tethering. It drains battery faster than stock roms too but it is the best among cyanogenmod roms.
Stock roms are the best at battery performance so I suggest you to have a look at this thread

Thank you so much for the answer. it is so clear. I will try cyanogen mod 7. I appreciate if you give a link for best cyanogem mod 7. because there are too many and I lost myself among them
when it comes to restrictions, there was some limitations in iOS. For instance, if you update your iphone to 4.1 version, you can't downgrade it to 3.1 anymore. maybe in illegal ways but it was quite painful. thats what i meant there. I apologize for my awful wording

yes I did all. wipe,flash.etc.. But, I didn't like it. it wasn't faster than my old Infrarom. Only the visual things are good. Also, I flashed Gapps and it works but i couldn't download any apps. because it doesn't download anything. Just waiting waiting and waiting... no error or something...
whatever. I will try another roms. Because I have to solve my problems. I can't talk with someone because of my handset. Sound is too low. I can't hear anything when I go out. I have to use speaker on every call. Do you know anything that make my handset sound higher? not the speaker just handset.
One more, touch menu buttons are not working. I tought that it is realated with the rom. Now, I think it isn't. Because there is no setting about it. And I changed my rom, problem is not solved.

Yeah... Cm7 is quite old and the problem might be because of the gapps.
Does that handset problem exist in every Rom? If it is solved by switching roms, it is a software problem. If It's not solved, it is a hardware problem and it is advised to take your phone to the service.
Touch input is mainly caused by improper flash of gapps. Try wiping it and flash everything again

[Q] Rom questions for CMDA desire

Hello, I have a US Cellular CMDA desire so I am hoping some of you guys could please suggest some good Roms for it, I have had CM7 on it for about a year now which is fine, however recently for whatever reason a lot of my apps crash constantly thus I need to perform a clean install, so since I must go through the trouble of installing a rom again anyway, I would really like to put at least ICS onto it and preferably JB but almost all roms are made for the GSM desire which is not only quite annoying but also saddens me as I cannot load a lot of the cool roms out there onto it, thus any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Although if someone could also explain the shortage of them that would be nice.. because there are a fair number of these phones..
Oh and one last thing, can you possibly make any rom into a CMDA rom? using a script or something?
sorry for the paragraph and Thanks in advance for the help.

Cool, I'll try and play with this sometime tomorrow. (edit: or later today I should say..) Thanks

well I dunno... so far I've tried 3 or 4 JB roms and the most I got out of it was a boot animation and yes I waited long enough to see if it would boot I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened, I suppose I'll try some ICS roms before I give up though.

Ha, thats funny, because about a year ago when I was looking for roms to put on this phone that was one of the first ICS roms I remember seeing and I actually got it to run and everything, I loved it too, although for some reason I didn't keep it I'm guessing because I had even less space than with stock or it could've just broke, I would say the first one though, (Edit: actually I think it was because something like the camera didn't work but whatever) but alrighty I'll give it another go and see about installing an apps2sd+ or int2sd script.

Yea it was one of the first ROMs I used back when I was a complete noob. I remember it was pretty stable and I stayed with it for a long time, but that might've just been cause I was too scared to switch ROMs

OH YES this plus that fix you posted totally worked, really fast too it only took about 1 - 2 minutes when I started it up to boot, well this is gonna be fun!
I got a tip on that fix thread about it working with 4.2.2 and looked at what rom he had and sure enough it worked. (although before I didn't do a full wipe as I did with this as well but hey it works)

well one more thing, I'm having this weird sd card issue where it isn't mounted on my phone, but heres the weird thing, I can use in my computer fine and I was even able to use it to install the rom but booted up I can't use it (note: this also was happening before I did anything and was running the stock rom) any ideas? I have already tried reformatting it again in windows as well, its not a big deal for me as I have a couple more cards, but I prefer to not use em if I don't have to, although seems like I will.

well I tried your rom and it sorta works.... it seemed to boot but.. the screen is black so I can't use it, although I guess something is wrong with my phone anyway, as some people have used that cmda fix and had success with multiple roms yet I can only get that one to work on it so I dunno whats going on with that... oh well one is better than none I suppose. (and I'm guessing asking for bulit in cmda support would be out of the question )
This wouldn't be because of the Hboot would it? the revolutionary hboot for cmda phones, I wouldn't think so since other users have it.

What are the variables involved? It doesn't seem to impact everyone, so there's got to be something going on here, since it has happed to more than one person. Can anyone with the problem share their steps to produce it in detail?

I remembered reading that some of the AT&T E980 has a different audio chip than regular E980.I've tried the Alsamixer but it open as a blank screen with no option to change the audio.

Same for me opens with black screen

How can we tell which audio chip it has? Is it only some of the AT&T E980s or all of them?
That sucks because I've just purchased this specifically for CM/AOSP use!

E980 no sound bug.
Please reply if some one is looking into this, as it looks it has been washed under the rug. no one is even talking about it.

The only thing that make the call bug goes away is plug in your headphone before answering or making a phone call. It's too much of a hassle so I went back to the Unofficial CM 10.1 ROM. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's been very stable.

What can you tell us about your device? Where and when did you purchase? What ROM did you flash to CM from? Do you know what baseband, etc.?

I also had the same problem when I used the BeanStalk Harmony 4.3 ROM...Only solution from me was to use the speaker..never tried the headphones method though.

I bought it from ebay so I don't know the date it was bought. I flash from the stock April ROM and using the same baseband from the stock rom. I've also tried to flash from the July ROM but it still has the same issue.
