Hi all,
I'm using the rom in subject from the first time it was pubblished and I must say that it was relly usable, but from a few days I can't receive sms anymore... or better, sometimes yes and sometimes not...
By reading here and there, I found that many people has the same issue, but nobody seems to have a solution...
Just now someone reply me in an italian forum and he told me that he solved with a wipe and re-flashing the same rom, but for me it cannot be the solution, because if I did something wrong with this rom, or if I have installed something wrong, maybe I'll do it again and them I'm back to the same situation.
Well, anyone knows the cause of this issue, and then the solution?
Initially, after a small test, I suppose that they works only if I have data connection down, but this is not true...
Of course, I use an italian Vodafone Magic (PVT32B).
Thanks in advance,
Micio
Don't run the ROM then...

Oh my, luckily not everybody is as "helpfull" as you are
This SMS-problem was one of the main reasons why I also stopped using the Hero-Rom. The lag I could live with, missing (important) sms messages I could not. So his questions aren't strange at all, IMHO.
Sorry I'm not able to help the O.P., but I do hope this thing can be worked out (maybe in a future Rom)...
i found the fix to this, well it worked for me lol, just remove the message widget from homescreen and all seems to be well again, you find you have friends again now lol

Just in case ^^.
Hi friends,
"Beautiful Widgets" was one of the first paid apps I bought for my x10. I LOVED it! It brought a whole new vision and style to my phone, what with the many clock themes and weather styles.
But recently, it's been AWFUL... plagued with bugs and force-close issues and time freezing. I even have been late for an appointment because the bloody time was stuck an hour behind and I didn't notice!
And now, the geolocation option is messed up too... it used to work fine but it tells me I'm somewhere I'm not. I went across town today and it told me I was somewhere I'd never even heard of.
I've e-mailed the dev but had no response, and from looking at the comments on the Android Market, I'm not alone on this one.
I just wondered if there is anyone who ISN'T having issues with it? I kinda wish I'd not updated it but a couple of weeks ago there were updates every couple of days. It's a shame because it worked great for me before the mass-update thing but I have no idea which version it was at before it went horribly wrong.
It was partly due to recommendations from this site that made me look at BW in the first place so I thought I'd start a discussion to see what experiences anyone else is having, or if anyone has found a way to get around this madness!
Mine works fine
It's fine for me too. The 3.xx version us really great, with accuweather.
For me, the best widget pack, and made by à french guy

Works fine for me too. I take it you've tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
I think most problems you and many others are referring to surfaced from version 3 onwards. Your best bet is to find 2.99 and see how you get on with that.
(PM me if you cant find it )
mine is all good too, couldnt live without it.
I was having problems too until i read that 3.xx needs to have a clean instal... did u install the 2.99 version and reinstall 3.06? I think that should remedy some problems like time and proper weather with accuweather. Something to do with different way to access database.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the tips. I do have some backups but I only seem to have 2.82...
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didn't make any difference. I'm wondering if there are data files somewhere that failed to uninstall that are causing problems.
I'll have another go at it... MarylandCookie, thanks for the help, I may be in touch about that 2.99 version if this fails!
This has taught me one thing though... don't update apps instantly if you're happy with how they've been working. MUST make backups first! The only reason I stopped doing that is because I've been running out of space on my memory card with all the music and media I've been storing on there.
Thanks for the tips, I'll see what happens after further fiddling...
Here's an update:
Uninstalled -> Reinstalled from Market.
Same probs with geolocation. Can't be bothered waiting to see if time freezes again; could happen any time.
Uninstalled. Found /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets folder. Just thought "sod it" and deleted the lot, even though it means downloading my fave themes again.
Reinstalled... and...
Geolocation still way off. NUTS. If anyone has any further advice please let me know!
Maybe you should just not use geolocation and hope the issue is remedied in future updates. I personally aren't having any problems either, maybe everyone else (including me) aren't using the geolocation option? why not just type in your location and save it?
And isn't it just constant rain in England anyways?? lol
i use Geo Location, out of interest are your settings on your handset to allow location by wireless networks or by GPS with Assisted? or all of them?
I tried it with combinations of settings, and in the older versions it's always been accurate, no matter what the settings are.
I'm in a different place every day with my work and I loved that the Geolocation feature was accurate before. Now it tells me I'm at places I'm not at, I find it annoying.
But yeah, it should just say "England: Wet & miserable. Wherever you are."
I've uninstalled it now and gone back to the stock clock. At least I know it keeps the time well...
For example, last Saturday, club I go to shuts at about 2:30am... I checked clock and it said it was about 12:30am... within 20 minutes the lights came on, chucking out time. BLOODY ANNOYING! Yeah I'd been drinking so that doesn't help but I bought that app for the pretty clocks and if I can't trust it, and the dev is unresponsive, then I just give up, to be honest! Just feel a bit ripped off now. I officially give up. For now.
Perhaps he'll fix it some day but it went from updates every few minutes to nothing for about a week. I think he's had enough!
I find the geolocation now to be more accurate for my location at home, although it doesnt seem to update when it should. I went to somewhere 50miles from home at the weekend and the location didnt change once.
Love the app though
Did you try version 2.999?
Ah. I don't have it yet... did you PM me? I must have missed it. Nuts, as I was about to go out too... oh hang on... I've got a smartphone and I'm gonna use it!
Ah... I now have 2.999 and can confirm it works GREAT! Location is spot on, time working okay so far, weather looks good... thanks!
Gods knows why the dev fiddled with it so much after this version... thanks so much for the help!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yeah, I sporadically get the same problem. Before v3 I had to make sure there was no space in the location i.e. city,country. Geolocation would put me on the other side of the planet. It's got better now, but time still freezes sporadically.
New update available seems to have sorted out the geolocation issues for me
Yeah, it's typical... just as I was happy with 2.999, all working GREAT (thanks to you-know-who-you-are!) I noticed 3.72 was available so I thought I'd give it a try and it seems MUCH better now.
Typical, as soon as I find an alternative solution the dev finally sorts out what has been driving me nuts for ages!
So it's Beautiful again, and the weather seems to be more accurate too... at the moment... not going to upgrade again in a hurry and may check out how much it soaks up the battery compared to 2.999.
Thanks again for the help and advice.
Honestly, I have to completely disagree.
I have never had a problem with BW since I bought it the first time.
Locator works fine, the weather is generally accurate, and no problem with the time. Granted I live in a large city, so no problems locating, but still. no problems at all. With previous versions or new updates.
hey yall i was wonderin if it was just me i am running the july ver of the tael rom and i had noticed that the other day the tiwtter tab quit working in fact it had said that "access to the server from this account was forbidden" so @ first i was thinking it got hacked but everyelse works just not the tab has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve the issue?

Same problem here.... Any fix for it?
i read in several places a few days ago that this is due to some changes they did in their API. it will also be like this for sometime.
yeah, Twitter changed the way apps react with their service, and unfortunately, HTC Peep no longer works. Which sucks. The prob happened the exact same day i finally got my HTC Fuze
~Des
Same is Happening for me, i was wondering why i wasn't getting any updates
HTC SAYS the problem's resolved on their Twitter feed, but I'm still getting UN/PASS errors.
the upside
Look on the bright side: now you can say "twitter doesn't work on my phone, sorry" instead of "twitter is so superficial as to break the entire purpose of human communication and therefore I won't use it, you twit." Your hipster friends will be bummed, but now you don't have to pretend you care to read their inane midday thoughts!
i had noticed that TWITTER WORKS TODAY!!!! WHOOO HOOO I CAN GET MY NEWS FEEDZ ^_^ SOOO HAPPYYY!!!.......ahem.....sorry...

I just got my Nexus S this Sunday, and it worked fine for the first day. Second day came along, and it started acting up. When I tried downloading stuff from the Market, it would "start" the download, so when you checked on the Notification Bar, it had the Arrow pointing down, but no Data was being transferred. It just stalled there, without any progress being made. I've tried rebooting, and once that worked, but it never seemed to work again after that. It works flawlessly if I'm 3G, though.
Just yesterday I rooted for the first time, and got CM7, didn't like the Home Screen Replacement, and switched to NS Collab. I haven't really done any fiddling besides that. It was actually already acting up being I ever even thought of rooting.
I've tried the GTalk solutions, signing on and off: nothing.
Help?
Anyone?
I just got this phone, this shouldn't be happening now...
no problem, i can download from Android Market in both WiFi or 3G

Do you think I should try installing anything on it?
Or is it a problem with my Network? I don't really have access to any other WiFi Connections right now, so I have no clue if the problem is with my WiFi.
Hmm, strange. I have never used 3G on my nexus...only wifi and never had a problem browsing, downloading or whatever.
I would say that your problem is with your wifi device.
I've tried opening Port 5228 on my Firewall, but still, nothing.
What pisses me off the most, is that, Samsung throws the blame at Google, Google doesn't know what to do about it, tells me to do random things, such as open Talk, instead of giving actual solutions. And the things they tell me to do don't work at all.
I can see why people prefer iOS over Android.
Simple: it just works! Android is flaky as heck.
Don't get me wrong, I really like my phone, but for it to not function properly within the first week of me using it is bull****. And then the company that's supposed to oversee this doesn't have a friggen clue about what to do. Incredible.
maybe you have a bugged phone...
one thing you should notice is that the wifi reception on this phone is weak, that´s a fact. But I manage to connect either open and wep/wpa wifi networks...
That's the thing though, WiFi works perfectly. I can connect and do anything on it, I'm even using the XDA apply over Wifi right now. The only thing I can't do is download anything from the market...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
puuuutz, now I got it. hmm, on early days of nexus, I read a post that people coudn´t get in the market store or download. To fix, the suggestion was reinstall market, but don´t ask me how, cause I dont know, uahuahauh.
now, my nexus is stock, not rooted, and everything works fine. maybe if you try get back to stock, will work...
good luck
I've tried deleting all updates the Market installed on itself, getting it back to its stock version, nada.
Since yesterday, I've also reverted back to stock. The bootloader is still unlocked, though I might lock it up soon.
Much rather have a functioning phone, even if parts of it aren't perfect, than a pretty paperweight.
I'm almost giving up on trying to fix this. Google has no clue of what to do, Samsung much less. I guess I'll just stick with the apps I have, and wait until eventually Google fixes the issue.
I sometimes see mail arrive at my Gmail Apps account and it doesn't get delivered to the phone for more than an hour. Nomally it's pretty much "push". Is this just 'how it works'? :-(
Stock T-Mobile UK ROM: 1.47.110.3
Connected via WiFi (good signal and on 30Mbps cable connection)
Using stock GMail (not HTC) app on the phone
Hmm can't say I've any probs ...they mostly hit my phone before the PC even notifies me of them

No, mine's near enough instant! (just tested it again to prove it)
although I'm on a lower build than you (1.36), although should be moving up soon.
with Gmail version 2.3.5 2549Kb
That was also on wifi.
Ah. Was on 2.3.4.1, having updated it from the market a while back, Market 'forgot' to tell me there was a further update. Gawd this phone is soooo unreliable in sooo many areas. I just never know what's going to stop working next requiring another restart. All-time longest uptime before requiring a restart to fox something or other I've discovered by accident isn't working properly is a little over 5 days. Complete poo, not really fit for purpose IMHO, and big mistake I'm now stuck with :-(
Anyway, thanks, will try that and thanks for the pointer

Either you have a massive dud unit, or it's about time that you took the chance and moved to a custom ROM.
I've has this phone since April and have the exact opposite opinion! I've used LBC Mod since it was first available after I S-OFF'd and rooted my phone, I have tried the other ROMS all of which offer different things, depending on what you're looking for, but, for me coming from a WM Sense background I'm very happy with a "working" close to stock ROM that's stable reliable and ideal for daily use.
I'm also on T-mobile UK. Happy to point you in the right direction - if needed.

Really, trolling? I have a genuine problem and got some genuinely good advice that may lead to solving it. Good on this forum!
... and I genuinely feel like hitting this phone with a hammer once in a while. So that comment was an attempt at some humour to lighten the mood. Sorry you were not amused.
I do find it interesting when some people find it offending in some way when someone is negative about their fav product - that's the whole "Apple fanboy" mentality isn't it? In another thread entiled "Lucky to have the Desire S" others have said I've just been very unluckly with this phone - and maybe that's the case...
When one has a problem, simply think OH NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM, STORY OF MY LIFE, WHAT A WORLD, NOTHING EEEEHHHH-VERRRR GOES RIGHT FOR ME.
When some simple steps and questions could be bring upon the holy grail.
1. When was the last time my application was working properly?
2. What has changed since said period of time the email was working properly?
3. Is there a way I can go back to said period of configuration and see if it will work efficiently?
3a. After reverting back to said period of time, has this resolved my problem?
4. Is it a software modification that was made that could be causing this problem?
5. Is it a external source that could be causing my problem?
6. Is it a network issue with my service provider?
7. Is it a issue with my modem that I am connecting to?
The list could go on and on, but my eyes are rather dry, and I need to do a few things for tomorrow.
