Technical or Software problem

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder

which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

And another one who didn't even care to read the readme or some threats...

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...

Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.

Bamboozling SMS Issue...

I've struggled with this issue for days now... Maybe somebody can help.
I'm dropping most of my text messages. I can successfully send them, but I do not receive them.
I figured it was a problem with SuperbadCM 1.5, because the problem seemed to begin after I updated to 1.5. I've tried downgrading, flashing after a wipe, removing LauncherPro (memory issues?)... nothing fixed it. Then I tried the latest CM5.0.8t2 on a clean wipe, no good, and even flashed an old nandroid of King's 1.5 sense rom... still no message.
What could be the issue? AFAIK everything else works.
I doubt it matters, but I'm using a G1 latest radio and dangerspl. I'm not sure if a logcat of this is possible, but I'll provide whatever info necessary. Thanks for your help. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

if you know what rom it is from would it not make more sense to post in that rom thread and or use SEARCH to find if others witht he same rom are having the same issues and know of a fix....

have you tried a different rom? maybe an eclair 2.1 perhaps??

I've had the very same issue on DangerSPL. I'd recommend using Firerat's AnySPL Patch on Cyan's mod while using stock/Hard/Engineering SPLs.

makes sense, because the issue probably lies on a lower level than the rom. I'll try this now, thank you.

I flashed HardSPL over 2.22.23.02, then Firerat's AnySPL CM5.0.8t1. I'm still not getting text messages... Any other ideas? This is a pretty serious issue for me :/ what's most confusing is the problem occurred months after it was working fine.

If the problems still occurs, you may want to contact your service provider about this problem.

Looks like this is the only solution... I appreciate your input, thanks

What country are you in? I'll bet its the hsxpa and gprs class settings.

Also, you pretty much answered your own question in the first post, it happened after you went to a specific ROM, there's something wrong with it's settings.

It's all right. There was a time when the opposite-sex didn't want to text me back either!
Mmm. Mommys making me ribs! Anyone want some?
And HEY! Just because most of my posts are pointless, doesn't mean you can flame me!
But ehh. I'm on SuperBad and don't have this problem... hmm?

I have no idea where this post is going...
But I got the problem sorted out... Proto was right, apparently I had a bad sim card somehow and got it swapped out. It wasn't the spl or any rom.
I think I let myself forget this is the internet -_- 1/9000 people are brilliant, the rest are hostile and dumber than bricks.

OH HEALLLL NO! YOU DID NOT JUST TALK TO MY G1 LIKE THAT!
/Turns to G1.
"It's okay baby. he didn't mean it."
"You made her cry... HAPPY!?

Did you try handcent sms? It has a workaround to an android bug that leads to sms loss when there's not enough memory available.

Yup. Baby steps. Last time this happened to me it was a network issue in my area and just had to wait it out. Any time I'm having SMS issues, I always call to see if the network is jacked up before heading another direction.
Did you not get a notification of a bad SIM? I thought these phones would have been able to detect a bad SIM... At any rate, I'm glad you got it fixed up.

[NO ROOT][DEV] IncredibleTorch

I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).
6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think ) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root).
Change log:
Alpha rev1 - Initial release

Known bugs:
You can't use the camera after running this and can only use it once! (until you've rebooted, it's not permanent )

Wow. Good job dude. I know its finicky but you usually only need the flash light to stay on. Oh well on the reboot to turn off. You'll figure it out. Really good job man.

Woo hoo, at least one person likes it! I've only gotten put down or no replies elsewhere. haha
I know this isn't fantastic or anything, but it's better than nothing in my eyes.

anything that helps the community is always appreciated. So ty very mucho

Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.
I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.
I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.
Thanks for trying anyways

That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.
But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob.
Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.

werd ~!~ 10 more

thanks for trying on the app though! it just confirms that I need to get root on me phone! I dont know why ppl would bash your for contributing..fail/succeed..we all benefit. It's only from attempts that we learn how things work..im sure anyone in root dev can confirm that!

[Q] XDApp Lite

Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me

Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.

How exactly are you connecting to your Xdapp lite? Wifi or 3g?

im using wifi

Okay so that would make sense as to why that works for you. I'm going to try changing it on my phone, and if still nothing do you think disconnecting my data and using wifi would work?

Okay, so no dice. I can't get on there still. Do you think you could talk to Sergio about looking into this? I mean if it doesn't inconvience you guys. I would like to get on without relying on wifi anyways.

I Tested It On Data Connection & It Still Worked Fine For Me
So I Did Some Digging Around To Try & Find The Info I Was Telling You About & Guess What I Found It And I Was Telling You The Wrong Procedure I'm So Sorry About That I Was Right About Changing The Skin But Was Wrong About Where To Change It At
Check The Post Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7183733&postcount=367
Here Are The Steps I Did And It Worked For Me The First Time I Tried It
Remember All This Is To Be Done On Your Computer Not Your Phone
1.Click On User CP
2.Click On Edit Options
3.Scroll All The Way Down To The Bottom Of The Page & You Will See Forum Skin Choose Xda-Dev Custom Template As The Skin Then Save Your Changes
4.Logout Then Log Back In
5.Now On Your Phone Try To Log In To XDApp Lite All Should Be Good Now If Not Then IDK Because This Worked For Me

Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

Maybe someone else can pick up on this project and make it more user friendly haha I have no programming skills seeing as I'm 17 and the only C++ I know was a 10 year old curriculum I took in high school last year So I can't...but it'd be nice to see someone else take this up and make it better than it already is

Something else to note..... This fix is better than any yet. All other roms render skype video chat useless when calling a computer, but not this one. This is the best i have ever seen the camera operate even though the quality isn't the greatest, At least it works fully. I should have thought about using the gingerbread lib. Awesome Fix!

i'll add this into my guide with the next update

updated OP with video fix

Omg you are the man ill be flashing miu this weekend.

Vibration and Ringtone
I finally registered for the forum after months of leeching information and not helping anyone out. I know there are vibration and ringtone issues with the miui rom. with that said, i dont have enough posts to post on the developers forum. i have titanium back up on my phone and had frozen the themes app that comes with the rom. i then went in to the settings menu and tried to access the selection that allows you to pick your ringtone. however i found out that that part of the settings is dependent upon the themes app. i defrosted the themes app and then was able to pick a ringtone. i am not good at fixing technical things but thought that this could be related to the ringtone not working due to a dependency on the themes app.
not sure if anyone else noticed that. if nobody has could someone with more forum xp post this in the development section?

Nice find. Just got around to pushing these and everything works great. One interesting thing is that when I was testing video someone called and my phone rang. Scared the crap out of me. I've been able to repeat this everytime. So music or video playing equals phone rings.

I know he mentioned the music thing and obviously we just found out about the videos. Seems that when the hardware is already in use it works. I know next to nothing about android file structure or programming in general. What would control the hardware? I know Raver has said it's not the libs. But it's worth a shot.
