I started having problems today with my text messages. I would get a text msg from friends an I would end up getting them over and over again. I did a battery plug and even asked them to do it also and still nothing. I still kept getting them over and over again. Any where from a minute apart to 5-10 minutes. This has been going on all day since around 10:30. I even did a master reset on the phone during the day and it is still doing it. I called tmobile and they actually disconnected me from the network to see if that would work and it didn't. They ended up having to send it to the engineers and said this would go on for the next couple of days until the engineers got back with them.
My question is has anyone had this problem before?
One other question I have also is. My phone is rooted but I haven't deleted any thing I just have them frozen. When this happened I wasn't doing anything out of the normal with it. Now if I have to get a new phone I know I will have to un-root it. Should I do a master reset on the phone once I get my new phone so that away any of the apps I have on this one will go to my new phone an when I send this phone back so they won't know that this phone was rooted.
Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance.
By any chance were thet txting you fron a iphone?
Suprah..."no cyanogen, rom manager still fake flashes the roms thats y for nvidia phones we have to use nvflash"
no not iphone
Could it be that your friends are bomb spamming you?
There are some apps that lets you spam people with text messages

I really don't think so because it even happened when tmobile was sending there test text msges and when I even sent me a test text msg
Me too. Sat on phone with T-Mobile. No fix yet. Not rooted. Texts repopulate from all incoming carriers. Now I am SMS disabled. Opened a tt and asked for fee anytime upgrade.
ok now I have a bigger issue.....today on my way home from work I restarted my phone and after I did that it was starting to load up it will get to the screen where it says LG with the blue like task bar under it and then it reboots itself. what would cause that. I'm lost and worried now and have no clue what to do. I search the phone rebooting issue and some of the things I'm see to do is this
"help: try formating the phone/wipe data .... hold volume DOWN button and power button at the same time"
but if it wipes everything what would have to be done after that.
This happened to my wife's MyTouch slide a while back. A SIM pull fixed it. Just pull your battery and SIM card out for about 30 seconds and put them back in. See if that fixes your texting issue.

Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!
I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems
I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.
I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration
Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.
Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.
I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127658
I did a thread about this issue, but got no feedback on it. Any thoughts?
Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html
Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.

I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.
Someone else has also made a video:
Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.
I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.
They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.
They said they're investigating.
I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help

Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.
Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help

I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.
Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??
It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.
Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !
Come on Telstra.

This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.
My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.
I've had this phone since the end of Feb and it has never done this. This past weekend, my wife and I, were over at a friends house and we kept getting pestered on my phone by an idiot who wanted to start stuff with us. Point is, during that time my phone was passed to 3 ppl besides my wife and I. One of them, not my wife, pushed something and now all calls are through the speaker. Do any of you know how to keep the speaker from coming on everytime I make or receive a call or where the setting is to keep it from doing that? My phone is bone stock and non rooted. I have searched, read the manual cover to cover, and looked through all the settings with no answer. It is extremely annoying to have to shut the speaker off everytime I go to make or receive a phone call. Prior to this weekend it was never like that. Any help to resolve this will be much appreciated.

You could try emailing the HTC support site. They resolved a similar issue with me in a day, in that case it was volume always at max during a call when I had a head set on with no volume control, along with a strange status icon. I had inadvertently selected a buried setting that is for the hearing impaired. No one on this forum helped after two days so gave HTC a shot at it, and they came through.
Ok, Kool. I'll try that, thanx.

Called HTC and they wanted me to factory reset my phone. I told them I couldn't do it right then and would do it later in the evening. They said before I got off the phone with them, if a reset didn't work to call warranty and get it exchanged. Well, before I could perform the reset, my phone surprisingly stopped doing it. Dunno what corrected it but was glad it was gone. A couple days later, it returned for only 3 phone calls. What I figured out was that it is connected with the car panel app. You need to use an app like Watchdog, which I got the free paid version when it was the daily freebie from Amazon, find the Car Panel process and "kill" it and it will stop. When you close it out it just goes to the backround. You need to close the process to get it to stop. I am gonna call HTC back and let them know how I corrected it, so people who dont come to forums like this one and calls HTC they have a solution other than a factory reset.

Okay I have been having the t-mobile "invalid sim card" issue and the phone currently is running with the t-mobile carrier logo. I was able to make calls, and connect via WiFi. I am not able to access the web2go page when I select data in the "wireless & network settings" page with a check. I used to be able to at least access this page with wifi turned off and it would show a little 4g icon on the top? I will post some screenshots. I downloaded GeRIL just to see what it said? I think my phone is rooted? I ran superuser and said the phone was not but the last action I did before getting the t-mobile to show up was a zip restore with CWM so I assume it's rooted? Might be just a flash? One other thing is that I have the WiFi and GPS on and it does not appear to get my location for weather in the weather app?? I can open Google maps and GPS is within 60 meters of my location. I want to reboot the phone but am afraid it won't be back to normal and I will get the error "Invalid Sim Card" again? Is there anything or tests to run while the phone is on the t-mobile network I should check first before rebooting? Or files I should try to use or flash? Or any service menu codes to run diagnostics? Thanks in advance. I forgot to mention that I will be getting a replacement from t-mobile in a week, I did the online chat and they said they will send a replacement under warranty. The box has a date of 7/29/2011 so the phone is about 3-4 months old? The phone is unlocked and has been rooted before, but the issue happened days before I modded this G2x. Basically, today it could connect and tomorrow it might not...or If I reboot It usually goes to the "Invalid Sim Card" I have read other posts with issues of the same type from other users but found no solutions?? Baseband, RIL, Sim ect...all points to a bad phone(using t-mobile) because If I use any other carrier card in the phone it works without errors. That makes me think it's a firmware with t-mobile issue but I could be wrong? Hopefully if the replacement goes thru the same ICS 4.0 will be out and make this phone a beast again?
This might work or it might not: rename your APN manually (Settings/Wireless/Mobile networks/Access Point Names/edit) you can either edit or restore to default to restore mobile data connectivity. Try restoring to default.
I just accidentally hit Airplane mode and it killed it!!! Now it's back to the Invalid Sim Card error again...bummer!!!!
Wait a minute...I waited and read a few posts and clicked the Airplane mode off and on again and it came back to the t-mobile carrier..??? I still have not rebooted the phone though? Hmmm...should I?
Did you get a new sim card when you got the phone? I remember when I got this phone they told me not to use my 5 year old sim card from my previous phone. I say try a new sim card, if that doesn't work try to reset the apn with the instructions I posted last, and if that doesn't work it might just be a bad sim card reader.
I think more on the lines of a bad sim card reader...I have a new sim card...about a 3 days old, got it from t-mobile cause i had the older sim with the larger gold contact patch. The phone is already on order...they said 7 business days..

Yes some times that will work. Other times might take 2 reboots. Also sometimes toggleing airplane mode can bring back apn. After a few sim cards and all my problem went away. When I had the issue I was cm7 rom. Stock Rome didn't really seam to have this issue.
just to close this thread I already received my replacement phone from tmobile. I am no longer trying to track down the issue. Thanks for all of the replied and comments. every one who contributed will get a thanks from me.

Yes doing a hard reboot will reset the Apn/data loss problem. (Also toggling airplane mode would some times reset it.) This is only a tempory solution as it could happen again. On cm7 rc1 it would happen to me at least once a day. As well as many others. Off of the top of my head it was something wrong in a radio file.(? Not sure what file) shortly after the release cm7 stable 7.1.0.1 was posted. I believe that had the patch for the data loss issue. It is possible that some cm7 based Rome may still have a data issue loss as they might not have the updated patch. At the time stock based Roms did not have the issue and as far as know. Some people faced with this issue could have had a faulty sim or phone. The other thing that was happening during the life of this issue was how many people running cm7 based roms didn't have the issue. I no longer have this issue. I followed the bug report that was submitted and sealed out the sim card twice. (I think it was cm7 issue on my device) OP- I hope that this swap works for you. If it don't, I will be more that happy to help. also thank you for your service.
I have posted what I know and can remember here in hopes that it can help some one else out in the future.

When I had the phone I installed CM7, and the daily's...ect..It WAS a phone issue (hardware) I now have had the replacement phone for 1 week and no issues what so ever. That's not to say that the issue will arise again? I have rooted and am running no ROMs at the time but am thinking of going back to the FROYO 2.2 just to get the camera like it was in the older version. I hate the camera in GB 2.3.3. No zoom....c'mon LG..where did you guys lay down to sleep during this process if the development? One other feature that has nothing to do with the camera that I would like to see happen is to be able to enable a bluetooth mouse. I tried my Targus mouse and no luck. I think you can use a bluetooth keyboard but have none to test. I was thinking of shelling out the 160 smackers for the infared keyboard..small and can fit in your shirt pocket, and it's bluetooth.
Had it for about a little over a month now and rooted it with Doomlord's method about 2 weeks ago.
Experiencing the following two issues:
-Sim card notification pops up and says something along the lines of 'Sim card not inserted'. End up rebooting my phone and it works again. This has happened twice and I can't find any threads involving the Skyrocket and this.
-No data connection. Happened about three times now. Wifi works, but can't get packet connection (yes it is on). Again, have to reboot phone and then it will work. The weird thing is that when I first turn it on, everything is fine, but then I checked my phone a few hours later, and I found that my e-mail not reloading.
Anyone know what's going on? I don't have many apps installed either. Just Titanium Backup (not even Pro because I wanted to see what was up with my phone before I bought it), JuiceDefender, one game and GVoice. If this was a one time occurrence, I don't think I would mind, but the fact that it's happened two times is making me a little nervous.
Thanks for reading through all this!
If you are rooted try installing cmw and flashing a new rom see if you still have the issue mine has done what you are talking about. But just thought it was a bad flash of something. Haven't had it happen since I did stock recovery and flashed the rom i'm on now.

Go back to stock. If you have the same problem, call in the warranty. If you don't have the same problems then get another ROM.

I still have sim toolkit. At least it says I do. I haven't frozen or uninstalled anything since I took it outta the box to be honest. Just deleted some stuff from the widgets screen.
Also, what do you mean by Juice defender configuration? Should I uninstall and re-install?
As for the other replies, I've started to keep a record of the errors. Knock on wood that I won't have more...but we'll see. Only time I get a break is in March so I may have to wait it out.
One other thing: If I want to unroot, is using Doomlord's unrooting method safe? I noticed that under the list of phones that work, there's only one...
thanks again
i have the same problem right now, Just got the skyrocket couple days ago, I upgraded it, under our daughters line, But im using it. I need to activate it with the new sim, for her, then after its all done, can take the new sim out and put it back into her phone, and put mine back into the skyrocket.
Its rooted and thats it.
I froze Sim toolkit and haven't noticed any problems...
what state or area are you in?
i have this same problem, on 2 different phones and 2 different sims. voice will work fine but no data will flow. no email, no browsing, no apps, nothing. it started the day i got the 1st phone (in the at&t store parking lot). eventually it will start working again - browser goes thru, emails deliver, etc.
i rooted and did sky rom on that phone and the problem followed. talked to support, no help. returned to stock and exchanged for a new skyrocket and sim, the problem still exists.
i think there is an issue with either the skyrocket or somewhere on at&ts network. if i pull my phone out at 10 random times during the day and attempt a data connection, it will fail 2 of those 10 times.
very frustrating with no obvious answer in front of me. i don't have lte in my area, and i am in my 30 day window with att, so im thinking of returning skyrocket and going with plan s2.

i just found my problem, the skyrocket dont support the 200mb plan have to have atleast the 300mb. oh well lol.
Hey so I just got the skyrocket a few days ago and everything was working great until today. A few hours ago I got a text message and Facebook notification at the same time and the phone froze up for some reason. After I locked and unlocked the phone a few times it started to work again however the drop down notification menu has stopped working. I can't drag it down anymore but I still can bring it up through the menu soft key. I tried rebooting, pulling the battery (while phone was still on), and even factory reset it through the recovery menu but nothing worked. AT&T tech support couldn't fix it so I was wondering if anyone here experienced this or knew of a fix? I wasn't planning on rooting/putting a ROM on this phone, but if I have to in order to fix it I will. Any help would be great, thanks.
a new rom would probably fix it but i would go back to att and have them exchange it for a new one because you have 30 from when you get it that its covered by att
Take it back...
Definitely take it back.
