I am on my third one and now my 30 days are over so I'm stuck with it and if I return it based on warranty help I get a remanufactured one but I am having some really annoying problems. I have searched these forums but frankly they are very complicated and you all seem very advanced and technical and it's very confusing. I'm hoping someone can lay out in baby steps how to help me with these issues.
1. My folders, and TF3D indicate I have a text message when there are no conversations in there it's completely empty in every folder but it still indicates I have one new text message and it won't clear with a soft reset or anything.
2. Often times my calls go straight to voicemail and do not ring on my phone.
3. I drop a lot of calls
4. Often times my phone will flash and show who is calling but not actually ring even though the sound is completely on.
5. I get a ton of errors that want to report to Microsoft especially the shell32.exe error
6. Often times when I try to connect to the internet it won't work on the Opera browser or IE browser just says can't connect.
7. Often times my email won't download and I get a message saying check in my network connections and the only way it'll fix is if I power the device off.
8. The feature where I can flip it upside down to mute it doesn't work
9. Often times I will click on one spot and it activates something I didn't click.
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Can someone please help me? I am begging. You can find me on Yahoo at julesthequeen06 if it'd be just easier to tell me I'm a lost cause on chat. Thank you in advance for reading this far.

Have you flashed a new rom, loaded any progams, or done anything beyond out of the box configuring? The easiest answer would be to hard reset the phone and see if that helps.
We need to know some more in-depth info
Carrier:
Rom:
If you haven't tried flashing a rom I highly suggest doing so. This can help with a lot of the problems you are having. For the Stock Rom has a lot of problems.
i wouldnt flash a new rom if its screwing up like this out of the box. what have you installed on your phone? if its doing all these these without any installed programs or mods why have you waited 30 days to do something about it? it seems to me its more of a software issue. try hard resetting and go from there. if its fine, install one program at a time and find out which is causing it. if you have att then i dont think your mute is supposed to work like that, thats a feature you have to install another program to do. i could be wrong but mine doesnt work like that.
I would do a hard reset and clear everything... i would change my time to redirect the call to voice mail to the Max: 30 seconds, I would turn off error reporting because its just a pain in the arse.. the flipping it upside down to mute is the program thats having and issue but like everyone else said what do you have installed on your phone
Hi everyone!
I've been going through this ENTIRE forum, and countless others on top of dozens upon dozens of google searches, and I still haven't found a solution to my SMS timestamp error.
All the solutions offered up by people seem seriously promising, because they seem to help a lot of people, and that is what's kept me hopeful: that someone out there/in here can help me fix this problem.
Basically, I have an unlocked Fido Motorola Q9h, that is being used on the Rogers network. Never delved into flashing my device, cuz I was happy with WM6. Not to mention I'd got it tweaked to a very lovely point
Then a week ago, my phone locked up after I'd put my phone into airplane mode (I'd done this countless times before with no issue), and just would not let me turn the antenna back on. Nothing I tried worked, so of course I eventually caved and did a hard reset. That was when I figured I would give WM6.1 a try, seeing as how my device was gonna be starting from scratch anyway.
I flashed to an unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, and went ahead with all the registry tweaks to remove all the bloatware. Phone is pretty damn clean if I do say so myself. I've got PHM on there, GPSID, CHome COnfigurator, and that's really about it.
After all that was said and done, and I got my first SMS, I realized the message was timestamped 4 hours behind. Every single SMS from every single contact shows timestamped 4 hours earlier. In the threaded SMS stream, my messages are timestamped correctly, but the other peoples' aren't.
Example:
Me (7:37): Send me a text to see if this timestamp issue's been fixed.
Steph (3:37): Okay =)
The strange thing is that MMS messages come in with the correct timestamp, and that is something that seriously boggles my mind.
Please, please, PLEASE. If anyone out there has some kind of suggestion, I would absolutely love to hear it. Here are the remedies I've tried that have had no effect:
-Installed DST cab from Microsoft.
-"TrustTimeZoneField" w/DWORD value of "0" minus quotations of course
-"TrustTimeZoneField" wDWORD value of "1" to allow the device to trust the provider's time just in case my phone was screwing up.
-"RcvTimeStamp" w/DWORD value of "1"
-tweaked some "NetworkTimeSync" (or something along those lines) entry to a value of "1" instead of its current value of "0," but nothing.
I'm at the end of my rope here guys and girls, so please, anything you can suggest that I haven't already tried would be infinitely appreciated
Thanks in advance everybody
although i dont know the answer ive got a thing for you to try
in the setting section make sure you regional settings are set correctly
Thanks Pilot, will double check those settings. Well, as per your instructions, I've double-checked the settings, and they're correct. Have my locale set as English (Canada), and nothing. Even changed it to English (United States) just to see, but to no avail.
*sigh*
I am almost at my wits end...Is there no one out there with a Q9h running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, that's having the same issue??? Or even better, someone out there who's SOLVED the issue?
I've even called Rogers and they suggested a new SIM card, seeing as how I have the original SIM from Rogers, and I'm waiting on it. I've even tried my sister's SIM which is a new one, but nothing. Figure it HAS to be the ROM
Found a solution to timestamp issue with q9 & wm6.1!!!
Hi everyone!!!
I can't believe I'm actually going to be the person posting the solution to this problem, but I guess it's true that perseverance pays off
This post is in regards to the sms timestamp issue that I've noticed several people are having with the moto q9 once they upgrade to wm6.1 and are on a Canadian service provider.
***This solution involves modifying your device's registry, so if you do not feel comfortable or are unfamiliar with the process, please do not proceed with the modification. I will not be held responsible for any bricked/malfunctioning devices as a result of this tweak***
Use a reg editor (I used the free PHM registry editor), and navigate to:
-HKLM (HKey Local Machine)
-Software
-Motorola
-RilDrv
Now that you're in the RilDrv Folder, there should be a few more folders in here...don't navigate to any specific one, just click the "values" softkey (whatever it may be for your devices), and somewhere in the values that become visible, you should see one that says "LocalizedTimeStamp." Open that value and modify it's value to "0" (without the " " of course)
Reboot your device, wait 10 seconds, cross your fingers and toes, and restart your device. Once your device is fully booted, and seems to be functioning normally, send yourself a text message, and check the received timestamp. It *should* be correct (ie. a minute or two or less in the future of your sent timestamp). To be sure it isn't just for your own texts, ask someone to text you anything, and hopefully the result it yields will be the same.
I have only tested this solution on an unlocked Motorola Q9h from Fido, running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM on Rogers.
I serached for close to a month with no real viable solution, so I just kept poking and prodding at my registry. Yeah, kinda dangerous I know, but I was at my wits end with this little bug. Finally though, the time and investigation paid off
Hope it goes well for all of you out there who are having the same problem!
For some time now, I've been having a problem with my Touch Pro. Some time ago, (about a 2 months or so) I have been recieving harassing texts and from "Unknown Sender" or "1234". Where the texts come from isnt so much the issue, the issue is that whomever is sending the texts can see any text messages I send; my call log; my emails and any picture mail in my phone. I've also been told that voicemails have been forwarded to other people even before I hear them. Im sure its like a vendictive ex girlfriend or a friend of theres of something...but I cant figure out how to stop it.
I havent called Sprint, I have master reset my phone and restored my backed up data, and then it started up again. I havent left my phone around anyone, or taken it to a sprint store ever for repairs or anything...so...I just cant figure it out.
If anyone has any suggestions of where this might be coming from or how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate it. Im thinking of getting a new phone or switching carriers...
Thanks.
Possibly someone has cloned your SIM-card.
SIM card cloning is by the way not very easy, but still possible.
When so, the only way around it, is to have the current one blocked and buy a new one.

may be your ex or somebody installed phone creeper on your phone!
try to flash your ROM... and dont restore your data for a few days and see if the same things happen
hope this will help
Yeah, it sounds an awful lot like someone slapped you with creeper. You can hard reset, but not restore, and see if the problems go away. Or check the \windows\startup folder, and see if the creeper startup link is there (not sure what it's called-that thread is too long, lol). Or, use sk tools to see what runs at startup, and disable creeper or whatever it's called on the the device.
Of course, if you figure out that it is creeper, and you know who did it, you may want to see if you can have a little fun at their expense before disabling it. That's definitely the way that I would go.
I have a few issues with the Captivate, that I just can't get an answer to, except send it in to Samsung, and we'll repair it. AT&T just does a very poor job, of tech support, on my end of things. I spend hours by phone, poor email replies, and going in for a face-to-face yesterday, simply does no good. I bought the Captivate with Android 2.1, and updated to 2.2, from Samsungs site. My issues are:
AT&T will stop BLOCKING apps, that come from other places, besides their Market. Talk of OTA being pushed, and the Captivate being one of the first to get it, led me to learn that OTA, is not a software push, but a set of instructions, to help us manually change a SETTING in the Captivate. This, from three different tech people, all the way up the ladder at AT&T. That said, the head tech, Glen, COULD NOT FIGURE OUT how to tell me to change the Settings. Another issue, is with SMS and MMS messaging. I can send them no trouble, but I don't really know if the ones I'm sending to, have got them. Surprise. I found I could make requests, for a Notice of Delivery. I just have 'to ASK FOR ONE'. Trouble is, no one can help me figure out how to ask. On AT&T site, under my contract, they have Captivate as my phone. They have a tutorial on MMS settings, so I went to it. I followed the steps they give, and at the END, they show 5 options, that are greyed out, that you can activate. They show 5, but my Captivate only shows 3. The two that are missing, DELIVERY REPORT and READ REPORT, are what I'd need, but they aren't there. Yesterday in a face-to-face, the tech I was talking with, played with a Captivate demo, and actually found those two options on it. His reply, the demo is Android 2.1, I upgraded to 2.2. Conclusion, I screwed myself, with the update. He didn't explain, why the Captivate HE OWNS, and is 2.1 itself, DON'T HAVE THE TWO OPTIONS EITHER. The third issue, is EDGE. Where I live, AT&T's tower, are horrible. No one with AT&T, can connect to them. I pay over $70 a month, to use my Captivate, on my WIFI. My use is rare, for phone calls. It's mainly for the Smart Phone part, that I use it. When I bought the phone, EDGE was not active, but some smart guy at a hugher level, had me make a settings change, and it appeared. But it no longer appears, and it seems if you don't ask a 3G question, they ignore you now. So, after countless failures, I left AT&T yesterday, and stopped at Verizon, just down the road, to get info with them.
I contacted Samsung when I got home, telling them the troubles I'm having, and asking if they could help answer my issues? This morning, I got their reply. The answer was an EITHER/OR reply, and that's why I'm asking this here. They say I could either restore my software to brand new, and lose all my phones content, or send it in for repair, which probably would lose the content with as well. Not an indication, if it's a software(Android) problem, or a hardware problem. No indication if AT&T's OTA, is a software PATCH, or if it really is nothing but instructions on what I need to change. AT&T sent me two MMS TEXTS, while I was on the phone with them, that were 4kb in size, and were ONLY GOOD FOR 4 DAYS, by what was said with them. Both opened with the word, DOWNLOADING, following it, but the word DOWNLOADING, is still present, 2 days later. Must mean what they sent, I never had installed. But why install something, if it's NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE as AT&T claims, and instead send a simple email with instructions, or a web site, I can read the instructions on? But, as of this morning, I really don't know how to handle this. Does anyone, understand what this means, and can explain in basic English, just what is wrong? Thank you.
All of this is software, stock sucks and now you see why the custom rom community is so large.
For edge, go to settings> wireless and network> mobile networks> network mode, change that to gsm only.
The nonmarket ota will have to be
a software patch because it's disabled completely in the settings of the OS. A simple guide on what to turn on in the settings won't do it it's deeper than that.
the sms/mms issue have you tried clearing the cache and or data in"settings>applications> manage applications>all> messing. Or using a different messaging app? I use handcent sms but there are several in the market.
Thanks. I'm starting to understand this rom craze I've been reading about.
On Edge as you suggested, when I get to Mobile Networks, after I click on it, I see NO Network Mode, that I could change to gsm only. I have 4 choices, Use Packet data, which is active, Data roaming, which is not active, Access point names, which shows ATT WAP, avtive, and Network operators, which shows a blacked out Default Setup. It's listed under Available Networks, but I can't even activate the Default setup. What's missing here?
As for the OTA, I'm glad to know it's as I thought, not as AT&T lied to me about. The two seperate AT&T messages they sent me, a little over two hours apart, are listed as such: <Subject: AT&T
test MMS> Downloading
Message size: 4KB
Expires: 5:57 pm, mAY 23
and when you long press it, a menu appears, that allows you to View message details. Click on that, you get
> Message details
Type: Multimedia message
notification
From: 28838270
Expires: 5:57 PM, May 23
Subject: AT&T test MMS
Message class: Informational
Message aize: 4KB
That is what they tried to push me, as the OTA, and as I said, Glen, an upper level tech, tried walking me through the settings, to physically make the change, but failed to do so. Do you understand what type of crap they were really pushing me?
I do have Handcent sms, but I never used it. I suppose I need to stop thinking everything is alike. I opened it up, and the options, are over whelming, so I chose those I thought were right. I'll read up on it later, to try and understand it better. It showed my text messages I already had, including the two test from AT&T, which actually allowed me to DOWNLOAD. Dowload what? Good question. But clicking it, showed it downloaded, SOMETHING. After that, I tried to install the Amazon appstore app, which AT&T kept blocking, and no surprises, it was blocked again just now. So, maybe AT&T knows what type of crap they sent me, but it damn sure didn't fix the BLOCK.
Guess you see I'm frustrated, but thanks for your reply. If this note helps you try something else, please let me know. Thanks.

IMHO, Custom ROMs is the only way to get the best out of your device.
Sent from my Captivate. Andromeda 3, Onix 2.0.5 @ 1.2Ghz
Downloading?
I've had messages get stuck in downloading when someone sends me a MMS with a picture or a web link that needs to use the data connection to download the message and I have the Data network mode shut off. May want to check you're Data Network setting to see if its on or off. Something to check.
With 2.2 you can turn on or off Data network mode by holding the power button to bringing up the menu.
It seems if I want to stop being frustrated over AT&T and their not helping fix the issues, is to start thinking like a lot of you do. I have seem a lot about ROM, but in truth, don't know much about it. I'll try and read up to learn, just what I'm looking for, like what would best fit my issues. Thinking back on my face to face with Tech support, Friday, when I acted so frustrated, that even they couldn't fix my AT&T BLOCKING of apps NOT FROM THE MARKET, I had two different AT&T TECHS ask me, "WHY DO YOU WANT TO LOAD APPS, THAT ARE NOT FROM THE MARKET"? Why? How about I simply want to? Does that mean that AT&T has the mentality, that since they charge to provide service, that it allows them to DICTATE how we use the equipment we buy? What ever happened to the concept of TRUTH, in business these days? Anyway, I'll start trying to gain ideas from going with a custom rom, and see what woud best meet my needs, with one. Thanks.
You know what's funny?
All of the roms have what you're looking for
That's the entire spirit of roms, I bought this awesome peice if hardware but the software it came with is locked down, freedom robbing, laggy, ugly garbage. The phone belongs to us it's ours to do with what we please.
But before you take the rom leap, try super one click to root and it also unblocks non market apps
