Let me start by saying I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but it is in relation to Roms...
I had my Wing set up on ttran's Open Touch v3.0 Biggy for a goooood long time (it was around when v4.0 was coming out) and all was perfectly good. No real issues. Today my boss said "Hey, let's get your phone synced up to get work email through there." After explaining I really didn't want to, he assured me everything is flawless on his Palm which runs Windows Mobile. "I've got this down to a science." Well long story short, he jacked the phone up BIG TIME! I lost all my contacts, I lost all my SMS, the phone would lock up doing anything except to play a game, I couldn't load the old backup on my SD card (which was from HTC Backup program)... again, the phone was JACKED. I think it all happened when the email wasn't working right because some settings weren't right so he deleted Microsoft Exchange Server on the phone and then the issues started. Anyhow, I get home and figure I need to update to a new Bad Ass Rom so no big deal. I find ttran's newest 7.7 Rom and get it set up. Then I load up HTCBackup so I can restore the contacts, messages, etc. Once I do that, all the contacts are back (thank god) but when I go to check my messages, there's not even the option there!?! It only has "Setup Email." Not even the option as if SMS/MMS was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere and NOTHING! So I flash it to the v3.0 and get the contacts back and it's fine now but I really like the look of the newer Roms (and might want to try some other cook's too).
So my question to you all is what am I doing wrong?!? I'm confused to a new degree and am just smart enough about these phones to get a Rom flashed, I'm far from technical. Please let me know what you all think here. I'm considering trying to HardSPL the phone and trying the new WM6.5 (do I need HardSPL for that?). The way I see it, if I brick the phone, I was considering changing to the new G1 anyway. lol I'd really rather keep this phone as there's so much cool **** I can do with it thanks to the amazing cooks here on XDA! Love this site and my Wing... it's the only phone I've ever had for 2 years and still love it.
Help!
Anyone have an idea?
Jus reflash the ROM to get back your MMS/SMS then restore the backup again ..
if you want to flash to most of the newer roims u do in fact have to hardspl for them to work and not brick your phome, as far as mms/sms, are you trying to retrieve your old messages hat were on your phone or just the option to be able to send and receive them, as far as i know once you flash you will always loose all your saved messages and if you just want the option, some dont have mms working you have to install arcsoft and network wizard and that should do the trick hope iv helped with your problem
I went ahead and reflashed it back to the 3.0 as it used to be, then installed the HTCBackup and restored my contacts. Sure I lost all the SMS/MMS but oh well. When I tried flashing back to the 7.7 and restored my contacts (since they would be lost again, is this normal?) but again, the Rom doesn't even have the option to do any sort of messaging. I said screw it and went back to the 3.0 and have it now. What I'm wondering now is why does the messaging now thread them like it used to? I get the messaging like any regular phone, one message at a time. The way it used to would keep a thread of messages from each person. How can I correct this? Should I just HardSPL the phone and go to a new Rom??
any ideas??
search threaded msg hack. should guide you through the steps
Can anyone help me find the network wizard for the Wing? I want to upgrade to ttran's 7.7 rom but the messaging doesn't work. I have searched on here and all I find are people saying you need to use it, nowhere on where to find it. Thanks!
as far as i remember, ttran's latest releases had a lot of bugs in it.. sadly, ttran lost his phone before having a fix on these bugs.. i also remember having a lot of sms/mms issues.. you can try reflashing again to rule out if its a bad flash..
the most stable/fast/reliable one is the open touch 6.5.. its the one with the clean front screen. this is what im using

Thanks. Found it but it was already installed on my 3.0 which I've decided to stay with. I read that you need the Network Wizard to update your registry to get MMS messages but when I go into it, all it asks is my carrier. That's it. I also have an HTC Network Setup and that doesn't have anything of the kind either. Why is it everyone says something but I can't seem to find it and it looks so basic on my end?!?
Also, how do you get .rar games on your phone? Possible even?
Thanks everyone!
anyone familiar with updating the network?? I'm not getting it.
very interesting. I keep hearing that you need to edit your network settings but when I can't get it, I can't seem to get anyone who knows to answer me.
Well I guess this won't be an issue now. I appreciate.... well... ttran for coming up with clean Roms but I just wish I could've had help making it work. Doesn't matter now as I'll be getting an iPhone here soon. I've had more help in the last 48 hours on what I need to make it work with T-mobile than I have on this site since I came here years ago. I always get the short answers with no clarification and no one wants to help with that.
On a serious note, keep up the great work Chefs. The roms look great.
I have a mytouch phone functioning fairly well on the 32A based ROM by AMON RA via this protocol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
I get a series of error messages when trying to run various programs, e.g.
"the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly, please try again"
"the process comandroid.phone has stopped unexpectedly..."
"the application setup wizard (process.com.android.setup wizard) has stopped unexpectedly..."
I did a search on this issue, and found related but different problem on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473130.
Anyone have thoughts/experiences of this issue, links for resolutions for other rooting efforts on this or other phones, with this or other roms?
Regards,
Dave
I'm getting something similar, but the other apps that are crashing are handsent and google voice. As it stands I can't make phone calls, and my contacts don't sync. I would say it's a radio issue, but everything else works fine. Oh well, I'm going to go browse through the how to thread and see if I come up with something.
I saw some people having the same problems as yours. I would recommend doing the "Daredevil steps" from Amon_RA's how to root the mytouch thread. Then flash a 32B firmware on your phone. I believe you may be getting those errors due to the 32A firmwares being intended to work on 32A boards with more memory. I have cyan's 32B rom on my myTouch and it's working great
typically, you'll get these errors if you did not do a data wipe before you installed the rom...
i would suggest you data wipe, revert back to the recovery rom in the root process, wipe again, then apply the update

I was planning on wiping the data on my google data base as well. I'm sure I can find out how to do your data wipe idea by reading through the forum. However, if you would be willing to give me a direction here, would be a nice shortcut, and I would be appreciative of your assistance.
I'm using this 32A based rom as a first foray into the altenative rom world, as a way to learn about how to do this. I will eventually be taking a daredevil approach back to 32b, I suppose, but would like to see if I can get this working.
While the error messages come up saying the phone program will shut down, I can still make and take calls, and pretty much do everything, but can't sync contacts, probably because of data base contradictions (between google and android).
Dave
I'm getting the same problem after rooting my mytouch. I had constant errors with the 32A identical to the ones leiko49 posted, along with performance issues, even after flashing to the 32B radio.img and running CM's 3.9.10, after having done a complete data wipe from recovery-RAv1.2.0G.
The device seemed smoother, but had problems with the phone portion such as failing on most outgoing calls and not receiving any incoming calls. I returned to recovery mode, did a complete data wipe again, reflashed 3.9.10 and booted it up. Testing the phone showed the same initial symptoms as before, but after about 1-2 minutes it seemed to hook onto the network properly and calls seem to go through fine in both directions now.
I'll post any updates if I notice it giving problems again.
I deleted all contacts in google on the web, unchecked syc contacts on the device, all unexpected stoppages have disappeared. So far everything appears to be working perfectly on 32 a rom. I had suspected from reading other related forums that the attempt to syc incompatable data fields was the problem with the error messages. This appears to fix the problem completely. I'll keep you posted.
I think next step (after a couple days of error free use of phone) will be to re syc outlook with google, then resycn google with android, see if the problem re appears. I hope that it won't because when it resyncs with android will just sync the compatable fields. But I really don't know much about this.
Then, since it was so successful, will eventually go over to a 32 b rom, I suppose, have to read more about pros and cons of that.
I have looked through all of the other threads and I could not find anything helpful to me. I am with Alltel and we have not merged to At&t but we are in the process. My HTC Hero will turn on and the Sense or main home screen will not load up. I still can make calls and receive text messages and return text messages but I can not start a new text and I can not get to my menu, home screen, or anything else! I have tried to reboot my phone many times.
I have:
Removed battery
FastBoot
Recovery
None of them worked and I do not know how to fix it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me!
Thanks!!
You may have to wipe/factory rest your device or flash a different rom if the problem persist.
You helped me out a little. I do not know how to reset my phone back to stock and if I were to do that, is there any way I can save all my contacts some where some how. I do not have a sim card either.
If u can get into contacts you should be able to backup to sd card. Or your service provider may backup your contacts for your like t-mobile does
so im having an issues with the phone app on my inspire. im currently running Android Revolution 5.1.10 with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with matching RIL.
When i try to place a call when inside of the app and clicking on the person that i want to call it will go to the dialing screen and after about three seconds the phone will beep and it will not complete the call. almost as if the call is dropped. i end up repeating the process about three or four times before it actually goes through and i hear ringing. i also intermittently have problems sending text messages. and both of these problems seem to happen at the same time but there is no set schedule for when they will actually happen. im starting to think it might be the radio im using(which is the one recommended on the ARHD thread) but i don't want to re-flash the radio if that's not the issue.
Im also having a problem where after reboots some of my app icons will not show up and it will not show the icon picture meant for it. it will just show the default android icon. ive found that unmounting my sd card and remounting it will fix the issue but it always happens again after i reboot it. The curious thing about this is that i dont have any of my apps installed on the SD card but it seems as if the icon picture is stored on the SD card somewhere and then not getting loaded properly after reboot.
Does anyone have any idea on these two issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a very similar problem with my Inspire 4g. From who I have talked to with AT&T it seems to be a network issue in some areas that are using the towers that were, at one time, cingular towers. They have told me it should be fixed in the next couple of months.
thanks for the quick reply! .. i guess i will just wait it out for now.
No problem. I know it's pretty unfortunate that their network still has so many flaws in them. Perhaps if the government would allow the take over of T-Mobile we could see better coverage and network reliability in the near future!

In regards to your icons, the problematic apps are on the phones internal storage or on your SD card?

Hmmm. I know it's a known issue with sense-based roms, that if apps are on the SD, and in a folder, when you reboot, their icons will be the white/green generic. Changing the skin to something else and then changing it back to your preferred skin makes them reappear.
If it is happening to you with apps on internal storage and not in folders, then maybe a full wipe and a reflash?
Have you restored anything from a previous ROM using titanium backup? That can also cause weird things to happen.

i may have to try a full wipe and and reflash then, and then reflash my radio and RIL. i havent restored anything from titanium backup BECAUSE of the problems it causes when you do. i learned that lessen about 90 flashes ago the only thing that i can imagine might be causing it is if somehow the apps actually ARE on the SD and im just dumb. i should add that i didnt perform a full wipe when upgrading from ARHD 10.1.9 to ARHD 10.1.10 but i just downloaded 10.1.11 and i think im going to do a clean install. unless you have any other roms that you can recomend that i might be better off with? i like a close to stock look but i also want the Unity O/C deamon. and no Sense 3.0.

Well, by the looks of it, you're well aware of the virtues of clean installs, so you might as well go with what you're already working with and do the clean install of 10.1.1, and see how that pans out.
I've been running inspired ace for so long, and everything just works, and I don't feel like screwing it up atm, lol, so I can't offer much along the lines of alternative recommendations.

I just wanted to give everyone and update and say that I ended up performing a full wipe on my phone and reinstalling Android revolution 10.1.11 with matching radio and RIL. After the initial setup and putting all of my stuff back on I realized that I was having the same issue with calling. I then went to my installed apps and noticed that I had the call delay patch app installed, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone . Phone is now functioning better than ever ! For now at least lol

Glad to hear it. Another Android Miracle!
Thanks for posting back, I for one like to see how people get things resolved, and it's good for future visitors with similar issues to see how someone worked it out.
First the details:
Sensation XE
OrDroid 8.6.
S-on
HTCdev unlocked
4ext recovery
Smartflash enabled
and formatted all partitions except SD Card before flashing
_____
The problem is that none of the MMS messages will go through if containing a photo that was taken with the flashed ROM. However, if I try to send a photo that was taken prior to OrDroid ROM, it goes through without a problem.
Doesn't matter if I send it directly out of the message app or going first to Gallery and share it. After about a minute I get the error in the notifications saying "Unable to send message after multiple attempts" and "Generic network failure" or "Service denied" written below.
The MMS settings and Mobile Data are all fine, considering it works with old images. Plus I can't notice any difference in the images' details between the new ones and the ones taken prior to flashing OrDroid.
One more thing, I also cannot receive MMS messages. I get a message with a download button and nothing happens if I click it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I'm not looking for a ROM changing solution.
Edit: Ok, after about 30 new attempts of sending out photos, I see the problem isn't with newly taken images, but it's completely random. Now, about 1 in 10 attempts goes through. By the way, the signal bar is full. I really don't get it...
No one has any ideas? That's rather sad.
Hi I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 and I'm able to take pictures and send them immediately, new pictures. I just tested it. It works perfectly for me. Perhaps do a full wipe and re flash the newest rom. I can say it's NOT ordroid because its working perfectly for me.maybe the download got corrupted somehow. I would definitely do a full wipe, download a NEW download to the computer then place NEW download to root of SD card and flash. Don't use old download as it is likely corrupted in some way. See if this solves the issue. Please do full wipe before flashing NEW download. This should do the trick. I'm hopeful this will fix the issue. Let me know. Because we know its NOT a issue with ORDROID, so give that a try . Good luck! Hope this helps out!
Also check and make sure settings are correct, if so do the new download of ordroid, see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks for replying, realsis.
I did a full wipe again and reflashed. I didn't bother downloading the file again, because the md5 matches and the file's fine. The MMS still doesn't work though.
So sorry, I can't think of another possible fix. Perhaps someone else has one ? Very strange because I'm using the same rom as you are and I can use mine without issues. I really hope you find a fix soon. Take care.

Thanks realsis.
Anyway, apparently ROM really isn't the issue. I've just flashed InsertCoin Evolution v1.91 and the MMS still won't go through.
I truly am baffled.
Check the apn settingd for your carrier...sometimes they get goofy ...ive had this happen before and I had the wrong settings..even though I never touched them...i googled for the settings and fixed it instantly
I've also tried that. Manually typed in proxy and port, and sadly it did not do the trick. Almost none of the MMS will go through.
I would call your carrier and see if it's goofed at their end, maybe they can help.one time I had to call for something and even though I'm using custom rom (they don't know this) they were able to fix my issue. Cannot hurt to try?

I called them just now, and we went over the APN settings again, and she told me to change the authentication type to PAP (was 'none' before). Of course that didn't do the trick, and we parted without resolving the issue. She told me it should work and that was basically it.
It's getting really annoying because I know it really SHOULD work! Poop.
I've been having same problem. I'm using sensation running energy ics ROM. The work around i use is i have to use quickpics (app) and crop the image before sending... Almost as if Android isn't resizing the image correctly when "converting" to mms. This almost always works.
Thanks billybag, but that didn't do the trick.
The thing is, the problem is the same with the incoming MMS. It says download and after I click it, it says downloading for a minute or two and just pops back to download.
I tried really cropping the image with Quickpic (to about a pixle or two ) and it still didn't send it.
