XDA IIs unstable and untrust worthy. Please help

Hi all,
Would appreciate help and comments on the following issues I have with my new XDA IIs. Have always been a Palm user but some issues that I face looks more than just software issues.
1. Reception - When my phone comes out from an area without phone reception, it does not get back connection until someone calls or sms. So no outgoing calls possible until someone calls me or sms me. It's a major pain in the neck.
2. Bluetooth - does not work with my Motorolla headset which worked brlilliantly with Nokia and Sony Ericsson. I can hear the other party but they hear everything else loud except my voice soft.
3. Hangs a lot or rather, sluggish at times
4. Does not cut off calls even when end call button on the handsfree set is pressed.
Can anyone help???

In my opinion why don't you Upgrade your ROM, there's lots of articles in this forum how to upgrade your handset.. "Search" Follow the instructions and I assume your device will work properly once for all

Get the latest v1.31 ROM update from O2 service center

As far as the hangs go, I would clean out every unnecessary thing that's in the \Windows\Startup folder. This is stuff that is automatically started up on a soft reset. Stuff like the "aPerSave..." file links for example should be moved somewhere else for safe keeping. I have a PDA2K, so I don't know if you have the same files as I do, but I imagine they are pretty siilar. The Pocket PC OS is limited to 32 running processes and out of the box the PDA2K is running close to that number already. I imagine the IIs is configured similarly. Starting more than 32 processes can cause others to shut down prematurely, causing hangs. So, getting rid of the unnecessary processes leaves more free for apps later on as you are using the device.
I had many unexplained hangups on my PDA2K until I cleaned out that Startup folder. Once I did that, the hangs vanished.

Answer to Question 4:
Unfortunately the button is not supposed to hang up. (I think it puts it in Mute mode?)

Protect/keep apps active/alive. Avoid that apps are being killed or lose connection.

Hi.
I use an HTC Desire on Android 2.2.
I searched for this but didn't find posts for this. Do you know a method to avoid that certain apps are being autokilled by Android itself? Or are the android apps just programed bad when they get autokilled although they should still "serve" like instand messengers.
I tried the Palringo messenger but it got autokilled sometimes.
I use Nimbuzz which can have an icon in the notification bar all the time but sometimes it logs in again when I switch to it which might indicated that it got disconnected while running.
Perhaps it will be better after an update.

I would also appreciate a solution for this problem if anyone knows one.

Any news/info on this? Developers, when you make a custom rom and change the launcher, how do you set it up so that it never gets killed by Android?

[Q] Whatsapp get stuck in wifi

Hey fellow wp7 lovers.
Lately ive been using a lot of messaging on whatsapp. I can chat fine on 3G but whenever i switched over to wifi... the message either gets stuck on delivering (1 line) ... or simply just shows the clock (not delivered)
Solution was always to switch 3G back on or turn on/off the wifi...
Its becoming quite tedious really...
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?? Or anyone know of a better solution?
(dont really want to use my 3G lately as its closely approaching my limit)

Got exactly the same issue. Don't know where i'm talking about really, but recently the thought hit me that maybe it is because when you come out of stand-by mode and send a message seconds later, your phone wants to send it over WI-FI, which might not be possible yet since it's still trying to connect, which then maybe results in a message not able to be sent and ends up being stuck on your phone, even though your phone connects to WI-FI succesfully after a while.
I usually turn off 3g, open the app, en most of the times it helps, which doesn't make sense at all. I am not sure, anyway. Haven't paid too much attention to it. Sometimes I just know its the WhatssAppserver, but I can't tell every time, and that makes it difficult to research the exact cause.

I really hope whatsapp releases an update and irons out its issues. Whatsapp on WP7 sucks.

It isn't that bad! It works, and thats more then we had. However, I don't understand why they can't manage to get simple things right...

hm i wonder if this is design flaw.. or purely just to save battery...
Coz on the android whatsapp, the internet is always connected even when on locked screen but on wp7 its not! The only solution is to use 3G!
This makes whatsapp useless if you only have wifi available... >< so much for instant messaging
Later on i found out ur wifi STAYS connected (even when in lock screen) when you plug it in to charge.... so thats the only workaround

so can we petition microsoft to add wifi on all the time in the next update??
OR does anyone know of an app that always require wifi connection?
(as described in this thread - http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-7-os-discussion/179861.htm)

Hm another quick note.....
how come whatsapp on ANDROID is so frickin fast!!!!! On iphone it takes about 5s to load into it. WP7 about 7s....and ANDROID is INSTANT!!!!
Lol is WP7 and APPLE so closed off that we cannot integrate whatsapp more into the OS? bah

[Q] Issues CM11_Saga_Flinny_alpha5

Hello guys,
this is goin' to be my first post on xda-developers sure that this should normally be placed in another thread but permissions to do that are still missing.
I don't want to create useless board blowing posts only to reach more than 10 to get the permission to disclose some bugs I found in the current CM11_saga_flinny_alpha5..
First of all I wanna thank all developers for spending there spare time for such great projects!!
Issues I recognized:
1) Apps moved and located on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
2) The current Brower often crashes whenever I'm on for example facebook watching pictures it crashes, reproducable.
3) in options under developer options activating error report doesn't bring any report up for sending via email
4) could anyone please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone or Textsecure works within the GooglePlay Store? I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is a mismatch between the googleplay and the alpha5 permissions
thanks.

2) The current Brower often crashes whenever I'm on for example facebook watching pictures it crashes, reproducable.
Hey
I had the second bug to. I reflashed and wiped cache and co and it was gone. No idea why.
I have Problems wieht the Headphones control. Does it work at your device? I get no symbol in the statusbar that the headphone is in still can hear music and sounds but the thee control bottums of the headset don´t work neither the microphon.

@Flinny and @devilkin
Known/recognized issues on both ROMs:
Please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone,Textsecure, WhatsApp works within the GooglePlay Store!?
I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is still a mismatch between the AndroidManifest.xml and both of your ROMs. Permissions or something like that..?
Calling somebody and than trying to "mute" the doesn't work so there's an incorrect function.
Moving apps located(moved to) on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
Gererating Error Report doesn't work seems to be no function behind it..
Hope you guys will fix these bugs...anyway thanks for your great work on supporting such an old phone. Still love my Desire S

I'm currently using the recommended 20140517—version and am having some problems with mobile data, so i assume this is a bug.
Mobile data in 3G networks works flawlessly, but in 2G networks it won't connect to any site/page or service. Though sometimes I get some incoming Whatssapp messages or push-news-content. Never Bad this problems with stock Roms. Provider is Vodafone Germany.

Notification problems anyone ?

I must say i love the phone as in battery life and the camera also gives some nice pictures.
But what started it to not love the phone anymore is the notification problem.
I installed Whatsapp and as soon as the lockscreen was active or a few minutes later it stopped to receive notifications.
This also was for Telegram and my home automation app.
I have searched for topics and found quite allot of these similar notification problems with tips.
What i have done is set by every application that needed to be running in the background :
Enable autostart
Turn of battery saving mode - no limitation
Lock the app in the screen where you can empty / close the running apps.
Also found a topic and application that should "fix" some notification problems for MIUI.
https://github.com/FabioCZ
Not sure if this completly works but i am starting to get most notifications on whatsapp/telegram etc.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell,
the application is Hik-Connect.
Got my older samsung phone laying next to the note 10 and press the ring button.
Only samsung rings, the note 10 doesn't work at all.
ofcourse i have installed them both from the playstore, used the same settings on the xiaomi to keep it running.
Nothing
Is there anyone that has an idea, because the whole handy thingy is gone now.
maybe a custrom rom will solve it,but since i have no idea how to make it thats a no go
I did unlocked the phone , installed orange fox and magisk to use titanium backup.
Can say that this didn't work flawless also, getting magisk giving the toast message to give certain apps root acces etc etc.
whats even worse, can't return the phones ( got 2, 1 for me and for m girlfriend)
Well hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
edit: i am using nightskeeper to automatically turn of the sound at a certain time and turn it on.
Give some contacts rights to still call trough the audio block.
But also this application does not work anymore, i get this notice every time but its already active.
When i enter ok, and turn the permissions on it works again for a few hours or so and then its gone.
its getting a bit frustrating , hopefully my alarm clock will still stay working

try this setting

try this setting
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try to put a system sound, the same thing happens when I put an mp3 or music sound

thanks guys,
the sound trick was indeed a good one because it could not find the audio file that was set from my samsung phone ( used titanium backup to install WA again)
It does seem that 9 of 10 times i do get the notices.
Also got my Hik-Connect app finally running and ringing when i press the doorbell.
Now comes the strangest part, the settings that i have put in my phone are identical to the phone of my girlfriend.
And my phone works with most of the services that i want but the phone from my girl doesn't.
Also bumped into another thing, wifi tethering .
I have a android radio in my car, what i got set with Tasker for years is :
1 - jump in the car
2- bluetooth makes a connection to the radio/phone .
3- tasker notices this, starts wifi tethering / hotspot
4- radio will connect on the hotspot of the phone and live traffic naviation / streaming radio works.
That was how it was supposed to work, now i get a notice from tasker that its not working, need a extra application and root.
I have root / installed the wifi tasker tether application. Also found the module that should do the same and installed this in magisk.
But still a no go
i do like fiddeling around with my phones, but it has to work eventually haha.
Would come in handy if i know how to write code and make my own fix for this.
Ah well anyway, im going to make a full backup from my phone and try to set this 1:1 on my girls phone.
Hopefully the notifications and the doorbell will work then.
Thanks guys

Im using notifybuddy for notifications and it's a life changer.

Hello Vincenttot, I have bought a PocoX3 PRO mobile and the same thing happens to you.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell, the application is Hik-Connect. But on other phones it works fine.
Have you found any solution?
Thanks guys
