I've been running Synergy, the newer version on the page, for a few days. It's amazing, so far! I only really have one compliant. Ever since I flashed, MMS hasn't really been working at all. It'll say downloading, then give a generic network error. I did the APNS fix I found on a forum awhile ago, restarted the phone, and still nothing really working. The internet works, it can connect to wifi, all the apps have been working, but I just can't receive MMS! Sending doesn't work, either! It just hangs with the little swirly icon handcent uses to designate a message in progress.
I tried it using handscent and the standard messaging app, but still having errors. Occasionally on handcent, it even shows me as having sent a MMS I received and still doesn't work. Is there any clear fix for this? Thanks!
Just gonna bump this, gonna try clearing everywhere and reinstalling. Already tried just reinstalling it and the theme.
Anyone know a fix?

Try deleting telephony.db file located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Delete it and reboot your phone.

I have this same exact issue. And if you go into the settings>applications>all applications>scroll down to messages>clear all data>force stop>full restart of the phone, not hot restart you will be fine. The only problem with that is if you are using something like Handcent or Chompsms you will get two notifications. Very annoying as I use Handcent. I found that somewhere else and have been doing it 2 or 3 times a day.
I am running the 08511 Synergy right now, I went to that because I thought it was the rom I was on before causing the problem. I have tried to find that file to delete but it is not on my phone.
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases When I get into the second data file there is no com.android.providers.telephony. I have com.polarbit.recklessracinglite. I am using estrongs file explorer.
There is now and edit to this, and I have not yet submitted the original post yet. I went into the menu on estrongs and turned on root access and found the file and deleted it. I am going to attempt to try this now.
I hope it works.
Ever since I rooted and flashed my first rom CM7.0.0, full wipe/reset, I had this issue aswell. reluctantly though after flashing CM7.0.3 and not being on wifi 24/7 I had found that my issue was fixed by being on 3g. Still does not work with wifi but I can send/receive MMS being on 3g. I have been using Handcent since purchase of this phone and I also ran into the issue of notification showing an MMS was sent but the receiver was unable to view it when sent on wifi but was able to sent with 3g
This probably does not help much with your issues, also since I've seen MMS topic issues quite often. But my 2cents.

My VZW Nexus has been randomly rebooting on its own. On top of the data drops I've been getting, I find myself wanting to use the phone for skeet shooting. I had the problem intermittently with my R2D2 D2 on VZW but I thought it might be several months of abuse that caused this. 3 weeks after I got my Nexus, it started doing it, too. I hadn't dropped it or used it as a coaster, hockey puck or projectile weapon like my Droids. I couldn't see the connection. My Droid and Xoom never did this. The damnable Nexus and R2D2 D2 seemed to be unable to go 48 hours without rebooting at some inconvenient time. I thought I would be safer with the Nexus because its supposed to be a pure Android device (the D2 is a Motorola crapstravaganza.) Still rebooting...
It had to be something I was putting on it so I looked at what the newer phones had installed and pared it down to what the D1 was running. It still rebooted. So then I looked at what was missing between the tablet and the D1. It was Handcent. VZW doesn't support SMS on the Xoom, you have to use the internet and not whatever the SMS protocol is on VZW. It still isn't solved because my husband has Handcent installed and his phone doesn't do that. When I installed everything that was crucial to me (about 40 apps) it worked fine for 3 weeks straight. I installed Handcent, within 12 hours it started rebooting again. I had to factory reset it again to get it to stop. I've now installed everything I had on it before except Handcent. My husband never configured Handcent to the extent that I had (my most oft used contacts had their own notification tone, indicator light color, even light blink rate.)
Is anyone else using Handcent or are you using a different robust messaging client? Has anyone been able to narrow down things that interfere with Android versions Gingerbread and higher to the point that they'll reboot like that? I am still not 100% sure that Handcent is the problem but circumstantial evidence makes me think I might have found the culprit.

It sounds like it could be a memory leak for whatever reason that is causing the phone to reboot.. if it is Handcent, at least.
Do you know of any tools that I could use to test something like that. Does app memory usage get logged anywhere?

I honestly have no idea :/ do you have a lot of messages that need to be loaded? My friend used to use Handcent on his Droid Incredible, and after a while his phone slowed down due to all of the messages. I went in to delete the larger threads and the phone hung and got caught in a bootloop. Other than that and your story though, I've never heard of this before.
Does anyone here use the live weather lockscreen wallpaper? It only started giving me issues just a few days ago (I've used it for months without a hitch). It seems that it simply won't update the location, even though I have location set to high accuracy. The weather widget is updating its location just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what to try to get it working again? I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest LP update to OF1...
Edit: Followup - I gave up trying to avoid a factory reset and just went ahead with it. It's working now as expected. I've no idea what caused the problem, but I suspect I deleted some files I shouldn't have. Hope this helps someone else if they so happen to also use this feature and it stops working.
Update: Yeah, I spoke too soon. It's definitely one of the apps on my phone interfering with it, as it worked for about 24 hours after the FDR. My guess is a recent update to one of Samsung's apps may be disrupting it. The investigation continues (for as long as I have interest in trying to fix this).
Any idea of where else to look? Is there an easy way of finding out when exactly each app was last updated or installed?

I recently have the same issue. ES File Explorer has a way to view installed apps and sort by most recently modified. It's on the lefthand pop out menu under library. Curious to know what you find out and if it's truly a recently updated app causing the issue. Note I can manually make it work by manually resetting the lockscreen wallpaper, but it only updates once, then stuck again.

So I'm not going crazy! Glad to know I'm not the only one. This also works for me, and only once. You can also force close the Live Weather app or reboot the phone and have the same effect.
I'll see what I can find from ES when I get the time and report back. Thanks for the info!

Hard to believe we're the only ones experiencing this. Your post was the only recent hit I got on Google (that's why I joined this forum). Sure tons on how to get the location settings right to work correctly with the lock screen weather wallpaper but that's old news. If it's any help I have the latest Verizon OTA update OF1 on Note 4 as well and keep my apps updated weekly. But I just got this issue maybe Sunday 8/9? Or at least that's when I guess I noticed.
That's true - perhaps many don't really care enough to pursue fixing this issue, too. Hehe
There was a recent update for the VZ note 4 - now the build ends in OG5. Hasn't fixed the issue to no surprise. It was mostly a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability from what I gathered.
I tried disabling the Samsung Push Service app yesterday, no change in lockscreen behavior so that app can be checked off. I'm trying not to go crazy with disabling a bunch of apps all at once, and my free time is also limited. This will be a long and grueling process...

I also was hoping the recent security OTA update would fix this but no joy. Just FYI I stumbled on an app that does nearly the same thing, Weather+ by Lalaworks. It's in the Play store. I installed on my Tab Pro since that didn't have weather lockscreen built in. You might want to check it out in the interim. A bit of hefty ram usage but that's the price for eye candy I guess.
I just tried a factory reset again yesterday with a minimum installation of apps. No luck again. I did go bloatware-disable happy though. I have nearly 40 apps disabled. I did try re-enabling all apps for a bit a couple of weeks ago though, which didn't seem to make a difference anyway. I *might* try a 3rd reset tonight and leave all bloatware (minus DTIgnite and VZ Protection) enabled for a day and see where that takes me.
After that, I'll throw in the towel. I can't really see the apps I have disabled now interfering with the wallpaper, especially when they were disabled for months on end with proper operation. Thanks for an alternative solution, will have to check that out.

The verdict isn't out yet on Weather+ for me. Seems to work okay but no lock screen notifications, at least I can't find that setting in the app. Don't want to have to find another 3rd party app to get Lollipop lock screen notifications back. Ugh! We may have to wait for the L 5.1 or M update I fear.
@imamax, you mentioned you noticed this starting around 8/9. Did you update to the OF1 build around that time?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Unfortunately no, I did that update 7/19.
Interesting my wallpaper did change on its own tonight. Just once so far. Weird the pic from Flickr says Berkley... I'm in Massachusetts and weather widget location is correct. Updates from Play Store tonight were Facebook, Google Play Games, Angry Birds Friends, Netflix. Something to chew on.
Huh, interesting. Did you happen to reboot your phone recently, prior to that happening? Do you have the wallpaper set to update over WiFi only?
I just did one final factory reset, and installed no additional apps. I disabled "DT Ignite" and "Support and Protection" and It seems like the lock screen wallpaper was changing overnight while I stayed put. We'll see if it updates now that I'm going to work...
Nope no reboot and no WiFi only. Still stuck on same screen this morning though. We'll see what happens today.
Kind of a long shot but...do you use any sort of security lock on your phone? I use the fingerprint scanner on my lock screen. I wonder if security is somehow affecting the live weather app's access to changing the wallpaper... It's a far-fetched thought but so far the screen hasn't updated for me since early this morning.
Nope. No PIN, no finger scan, nothing. Just swipe and unlock.
I've had DT ignite dialed for a while and VZ Protection was update 7/3. No change all day so far.
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Oops meant disabled not dialed.
I succumbed to doing another reset, just so I could restore a backup from a couple of weeks ago rather than manually download all the apps I once had again. Interestingly the lockscreen updated itself once within the hour after setting it as the wallpaper after the reset, but hasn't updated since. I'm out of ideas. I also kept DTIgnite running overnight. That's being disabled now...

Alright, a little update. I exchanged some posts with Verizon on their forum, and they *might* look into it. It must be a bug with the latest software updates, or something on Yahoo's end. But a coworker here uses the wallpaper with no problem on his ATT Note 4...
Is there anyone else out there on here using the Wallpaper on the OG5 or OF1 builds??
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I am using the Note 4 on at&t (SM-910A) and am experiencing the same problem. It seems to have begun malfunctioning after the stagefright fix. City images no longer load, and it does not update periodically anymore (only after restarting the phone). Thought about factory reset but haven't done so yet. I tried clearing caches (including android system cache), disabling reenabling; everything aside from factory reset. No dice. Hoping the 5.1 update provides a fix.
I took the 11A update so that I could root my phone, and since then I've noticed that I no longer have simultaneous voice and data. It worked perfectly before, but now it just goes to the 1x and has no connectivity during calls. I also cannot send an MMS when connected to wifi. It will eventually time out and fail, but if I disconnect wifi it will send instantly. Any troubleshooting things I can do to fix these issues?
Apparently Advanced Calling isn't activated, and it won't stay activated when I select it. Anything to do to fix that?

Did you freeze the app mentioned in posts #16-18 in your other thread, "Caller Name ID"?

Yours may not be the same symptoms as the other user (they sound closer to my symptoms when still running 610B). But it may be worth checking.
If you're using Verizon's Message+, it can send texts over WiFi. Perhaps that feature could be causing trouble, if it doesn't get along well with your WiFi somehow?

Do you use as block plus by chance? If so try removing it, I had the exact same symptoms while using it. I switched to adaway and no issues.

You have to disable ABP, if you straight uninstall it it leaves the host files. I am not to sure where it stores the backed up host files but you can try to reinstall ABP enable blocking, disable blocking then uninstall. It may require a reboot after disabling. Not sure if this will help but its worth a shot.
Is anyone using the early preview build as a daily driver? If so have you found any issues?
I am using it from the last 12 hrs. There are graphic/frame rate issues, app crashes if you switch device theme to "inverted " under display settings. If you keep it back to "Pixel ", things are smooth and fine.
Apple music isnt opening for some reason. No other issues noticed.
I've seen phone call issues. Android pay doesn't work yet. I think it will depend on how reliant you are on the device. It's a fun build though.

I think phone call issues would be a deal breaker for using it as a daily driver. Could you elaborate though on the phone call issues you experienced?

I flashed this on my 5x which is a data only Fi sim so I don't use it for phone or messaging, sorry. However, I did see other posts of people not being able to call or receive. I'll find the posts and link them here in a few. And then there were a few folks that were able to make calls, so I guess ymmv. Just be prepared to flash back if it doesn't work for you. brb

Gmail isn't loading emails for me. It syncs them but when I open them they don't load. Microsoft's Outlook does this too. And searches I type out via Google app never go through.

Gmail, phone calls, messaging, camera..All works perfect for me..As I said, only issue was when I changed the display theme to inverted..In normal settings, all works just fine..
All is working for me as well. It's been about 17 hours without a glitch. I paired my Huawei watch as well. Not using the Pixel launcher as I prefer Nova Launcher with the Dark Pixel icon pack. Using Gmail against MS Exchange server without issue. Mail, calendar and tasks are all operational.
LOL so other than bragging rights to use Android O, what is actually better than in 7.1.1/7.1.2?
Been using it on my pixel XL 128gb with several bugs, however, there is no crash when switching themes from inverted to pixel or vice versa, there is a Hangouts lag, amongst a few other things, I'm gonna keep daily driving On tho, and once root comes out flash substratum transparent theme ftwz, I just wish I could have my viper sound mods back
I am wanting to try the O software on my Pixel xl. Currently on Resurrection Remix ROM with unlocked bootloader. What's the proper way to flash the zip file I downloaded?
Developer option available? If so, is the unlock bootloader available or greyed out? Asking for a friend.

For me it was greyed out and my bootloader is already unlocked.
lots of bugs. calling issues (though I found that to be attributed to the Zedge app). Bluetooth is flaky. Random RAM dumps/reboots. UI froze a few times.
All above mentioned in the release notes, so was to be expected.
Had to take it off for daily use. Did so reluctantly, but I need it to make reliable phone calls, if nothing else.
Really like the direction it is heading however. Will definitely put the next build on and use it, as that is supposed to be the beta milestone.

Bluetooth is flaky when I was on DU ROM it was smooth..UI lag did notice at first but after few reboots & power off have not notice at all, in fact got snappier, phone calls good here.
The direction it's going I like it too, I'm still on it although some issues like game play stiil no go getting FC wifi calling but I activated thru phone app settings all good now
Battery life has been top notch heat stays low snappy Snappy that's one of reasons why still on build
I've been using the DP for the last 12 hours and so far the only problem I have had was some screen flashing when I was setting up Gmail. Other than that calls, messages, YouTube videos, etc. have all worked just fine.
I ran into one issue where the phone seemed to hand for 10-15 seconds but came right back after.
In my opinion, the best new features of O will require the apps to support it (adaptive icons, notification channels, ect.) so betweer 7.1.2 and 8, I can't say today there is something about Android O that I want enough to run a preview build.
does somebody runs into a Problem to not be able to copy files like pics, sounds (mp3) and movies (mp4) back to the phone? i get the phone connected, i can Access the store, but when i start to copy the files, the Connection get lost.. so im not able to copy my data back to the phone.. im not sure, if it's related to the dp1?
Gmail keeps crashing. Also when I am trying to use the app drawer it keeps going blacked out ? It's fun to play with but needs a lot of work.
