Weird SMS behavior.

Sometimes when I click on "Messages" and then click on a thread I wish to view a totally different thread gets opened. I know it's not my finger because the thread that would open is oftentimes nowhere close to the one I clicked on. Several times I've inadvertently sent an SMS to the wrong recipient, which resulted in several comical situations.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I've tried to search the forum but didn't come up with anything.
My Bolt is rooted, running the leaked MR1 RUU

That happens to me constantly
Both pre and post ota update
Also post ota my messages app has been way slower and forces closes on a regular basis
Tho I'm stock and not rooted (don't flame me)

This is a Froyo (and maybe before) issue and not an issue on "every android phone". Once you upgrade to a custom Gingerbread Rom or the official Gingerbread update (as of today this isn't out yet) you will see this problem go away.

It seems to be a problem with all android phones no matter the rom. It did it on my rooted Droid 1 also. Go sms pro is a good replacement for stock. Rooted or not it fixes the problem and has a lot more options.

Roger that, I have the same issue. Also, I moved to the T-bolt from an Evo and the Evo with Froyo had the same problem. As soon as I installed CM7 on the Evo, the problem was gone.

I'd say try using GO SMS Pro. Much better than the stock messaging application.

Power button stopped working

Before someone says it....i did some searching and no one else has posted this issue (at least i didnt find it).
My Captivate power button has just stopped working. Its stock ROM rooted with Launcher Pro. Tried to unroot with super one click and still doesnt work. Kinda out of ideas.....any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might have just broke the button, also Try flashing back to stock, that might fix it

Well this is a known issue...kinda... Not to flame you but this should be in q&a... If your under warranty you might want to get fixed soon cuase I heard some people say that
Out start messing up and gives out. Fyi warranties will be going out soon, so you might wasn't to do sooner then later. Good luck

There have been tons of threads like this. Don't believe you searched. Take it back for warranty and next time post in q&a.

Random reboots

hey my wife just got this phone; it's a real good phone. it flies with opening and closing apps. there is one problem tho....it does random reboots for some reason. have any one else had this issue? i'm almost considering exchanging it for a new one, but it may have the same results. anyone else relate?

I got a couple randome reboots. I am using ADW launcher so im trying to blame that. Im just hoping that once these devices are rootable new software will make a big difference.

I'm running everything stock , no other launchers and I've had the same issues, not sure what's causing it though but people like steffan definitely aren't going to help with their unnecessary and rude posts. On the other hand I've sent a few bug reports related to this issue and hope that HTC addresses them if not once the bootloader is unlocked we should be able to address it then.

Hell no I won't help in this thread because this same exact thing is being discussed elsewhere and this new thread is starting from square one with absolutely nothing relevent or pertinent in finding a solution of dissecting the problem to its root cause, so no I won't help but continue to flame/bash/troll new threads like these...
Oh yeah my name is spelled Stefan

Not to get in a flame war with you as that would be counter productive, but instead of posting 2 unnecessary posts now it would have been more helpful to have linked him to this thread you mention instead of treating him the way you did.

I agree there is absolutely no reason to react that way to the OP. If you don't like his thread then DON'T RESPOND TO HIM. It's really that simple. When people makes posts that I don't think they should have, I simply say nothing and let the thread die.
Now back on topic: OP I have not had a random reboot at all yet. Thus far my phones have been perfect from a stability standpoint (I've had 3 different ones so far). In case you're wondering, I had 3 different ones because I was offered better deals at different places.

Already 11 days since bought this babe..nope, no reboot problem so far. A little hot 40++C, but normal i think since its never reach 50C.
Really another threat?
Link please?

Same issue here I bought my HTC Sensation when it launch on the bell network July 5, 2011. The first one (and yes I said first one) kept randomly shutting down the day I got it keeps restarting and says and I quote " This phone has just recovered from an abnormal reset. Would you like to tell HTC about it? " Now this was happening like 3-4 times a day so I took the unit back and got a new one fresh out the box and...you know where I'm going with this...same issue so how can I fix this problem? Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or flash the unit?

I had that problem . some apps kill the system .
one of the apps i noticed that did this was Task Killers

My phone rebooted once when I was browsing the forums, but that's it. I hope it doesn't happen again.
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Mine randomly reboots. Seems to happen mostly when I'm listening to music. Or maybe thats when I notice it.
I was thinking of sending it back but I wonder if my sd card had something to do with this issue. I did not reformat it when I took it out of my blackberry.

The very first day I got my sensation it rebooted itself twice, since that it never do it again, and I hope it will not.

I had this issue with my first phone, I called HTC and they just told me to return it for a new one and I did. No problems now.

Problem with phone shutting down randomly

I have a problem with my phone shutting down randomly sometimes when being used (usually when going online and halfway through the battery bar). After i turn on the phone again the battery would loose about 20% prior to the shut down. Any1 got a solution?

What ROM, kernel are you using? And what is the clocking on the kernel?

I've been using insert coin for awhile for awhile. It started happening a month after i updated to version 2.2. Then i tried using cyanogenmod 9 and it still happens. Then I switch back to insertcoin, but with version 2.3 and still the same thing.

what solutions did you tried until now ?
and did you care to search in q&a section ..there are lot of threads with the exact same random shutdown issues ...and the solutions were posted there..do a quick search in this q&a section and help yourselves

Thanks for the advise, but your suggestion are only for people who are new to the forum. Searching is the first thing I did. I mentioned above that did try changing rom into CM9 and that had the same results. I also checked if the battery is loose, but it wasn't. If there is a particular solution that I missed please point me to the thread.

see..i was about to give you the thread which solves battery loose connection ..thats why i said what solutions you tried ..if you have updated that in OP that would prevent people from posting the solutions that you already tried ..
now to the point ..reflash the firmware that you are using and see..as changing roms didnt solved your issue

[Q] Can't get into recover, phone won't boot, CM9

Hi there,
I have a Rogers Galaxy SGH-i727R. About three weeks ago, the phone started re-starting on it's own. I though maybe it was a sticky power key and had that replaced. The problem persisted. I then noticed that it was primarily upon receiving text messages that the phone would reboot. So it seemed it was a software issue. I am running the stable build of CM9.
Yesterday the phone rebooted and never got off the angry alien screen. I pulled the battery, charged it etc and still could not get it to fully boot up. I left it for over an hour. I finally decided to call it quits and re-flash the phone. Problem is, it will not boot into recovery at all. When I hold down Vol + - and Power, it jsut goes into a loop of vibrating every three seconds until I let go and then it tries a normal boot again. Once, I briefly got a screen saying I was trying to install custom software and to press volume up to do so, but before I could hit volume up, the phone cycled off.
I should also mention that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work. I accidentally sliced the wires on the side of the phone when opening it up. I use a software button saver widget to access their functions. I wonder if that issue is related....
Thanks for any advice. I would like to get into recovery so I can load a new ROM or a stock ROM.

You're going to get blasted for posting this here....
That being said, your power button is borked, common on these phones. Happened to mine, but I was still under warranty so it was replaced.

Your point? I can't tell you how many times I've been sent "new" or "tested good" parts and they are DOA when installed. Or people who claim to have replaced or fixed a part but really didn't.

In the Q/A section is the proper place. I had the exact same issues you are having, fortunately I had the option to trade it in for a new one. Good luck!
