My wife's Infuse was running Serendipity VII. She was having some minor problems with it (such as the camera's flash not working consistently) and some apps crashing. So we decided to go with Zeus. Then the problems really started pouring on.
I flashed Zeus without doing a factory reset. I just wiped the cache partition and the Davlik cache. It was OK for a day or two, then it started misbehaving. More crashes, sluggish, when she sent a text message she'd get a "Message not sent" error (so she'd keep trying until she didn't get the error, meanwhile every attempt was actually being sent so people were getting her texts multiple times), Mobile AP would turn itself off (we do pay for the Mobile AP plan with AT&T).
So I did a factory reset/wipe user data, wiped the cache areas, and re-flashed Zeus. Restored everything with Titanium Backup. No change in behavior.
So, I used Odin to flash back to stock UCKD5 (using this). Things were OK for a day or so except that the time was displaying UTC time instead of local time. (I started another thread about that.) Then, the mobile AP started shutting off again, now with a message saying we don't have a Mobile AP plan. But we do. I flashed a new modem (UCKL2) last night hoping that would clear up both issues. It fixed the time problem, but Mobile AP is still saying we don't have a plan. And now she's also getting the "message not sent" error again when sending text messages (although the messages ARE being sent).
Any ideas on what the heck happened and what I could do to get her going again? Using the "Mobile AP" is essential as it is our only home internet connection (no cable or DSL available and we ditched satellite a few months back) and our kids are enrolled in an online school.
Would flashing another ROM clear things up? Maybe try stock again with the "ultimate unbrick" package or the Heimdall one? Or maybe try Zeus again? Or CatyRom?
I reflashed to stock again using ultimate unbrick. (Wiped cache, factory reset, Odin to stock.) Mobile AP gave same errors. Texting seemed fine, but with Mobile AP not working I didn't test it long. Flashed Zeus again (Rooted, installed CWM, wiped cache, factory reset, formatted internal SD, installed the Zeus zip, rebooted and waited about 15 minutes before touching it.)
Mobile AP is fine (for now anyway) but texting is flaky. Some texts go through, but most don't. She just gets an error saying "Message not sent."
Any ideas out there???

Idk..maybe you need and apn change.
Go to settings. Wireless. Apn.
Menu to bring up 2 stock apn.
create a new one. it's around..check my sigs line. After you write it in, menu and save. Select the new apn.
Reboot
Found the APN info in the first link. Thanks! Does the name matter? I noticed it is "AT&T WAP" on my Captivate but "AT&T 310 410" on her Infuse.

no..you can call it what you want.
HeathicusF's 310 410
but just for s&g's, I would call it "AT&T 310 410"
Did it fix your issue?
I haven't made any APN changes yet. She uninstalled GoSMS (which had been restored with TiBu) and reinstalled it from the market. That was a "grasping at straws" solution since the problem was happening in both GoSMS and he stock SMS application. So far, no problems. But there have been other little spans of time with no problems then it would start acting up again. So I'm just keeping an eye on it right now. There are some differences between her APN settings and the ones listed, but I don't want to change anything if it really is working now.
OK she has narrowed it down to a problem with long text messages. Anything over 160 characters will fail. That is why she thought it was flaky and working for a while each time we made a change. She'd send a lot of short "testing" type messages, which would go through and she would think everything was good. Then eventually she would write a long "real" message and it would fail and she would think the problem had "returned". Not having any problems like that before, she never associated the problem with the message length.
Based on some quick research, I think that is a modem problem.
If we can fix this issue, she'll be all good again.

lol..click on my sigs -link #1. Read post #2.
it has to do with a modem ucki3.
She has UCKL2.
EDIT: I misunderstood and thought you were saying the problem was with the UCKI3 modem. Should have looked at that post you pointed me to first. I see now that UCKL2 is the problem and UCKI3 is the solution.

So I finally decided it was time for a new ROM after living with a Rooted stock for so long.I'm loving Cyanogenmod but with one issue. I cannot receive pictures from other Aria's... I got a picture from an iPhone but two other users that have Aria's sent me pictures and they simply says download of message was unsuccessful... I read about some setting changes with APN but that didn't seem to work with any of the changes I tried. Is this a known issue I somehow missed, a bug I should report somewhere, or am I just doing something wrong?
I personally don't know anyone else with an Aria...but I receive MMS messages all the time with no problem from many different phone...including other Androids. Don't know. I would try clearing data, both caches and try flashing again.
Yeah I have thought about reflashing since it was my first run at it with this phone but I didn't notice until a couple of days into having it, just got moved in! Oh well, that's the price for doing this kind of stuff. I was just curious to see if anyone else was having issues like I mine.
My opinion would be to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (advanced > wipe dalvik) and then reflash the rom. No need to WIPE data.
Well do u have mobile connection turned on? if I have it off I won't receive any mms

I didn't turn it off... but I have received pictures from an iphone so I would assume that means its turned on. Getting ready to brswattt's recommendation to see if it fixes it.
Ok so I tried wiping the cache's and reflashing, still no dice... I even tried going in a resetting cache and data for the messaging apps. Its doing it both in the messaging app and hancent... any thoughts? Maybe a complete wipe?
I have the same problem. I can receive from iPhones and other phones, but not my wife's Aria. I had this problem since September, with every RC of CM6. I assumed it was a ID10T error, but now that I see otehrs with the same prob, maybe not!
Both myself and the wife have arias...both running cm 6.1.1 able to send and receive mms to each other

Can you speak in English?
Anyway, have you guys tried changing the "Customer User-Agent" setting under the settings menu inside the SMS app? It spoofs the phone in to something else.
Tried the user agent, great idea, but it didn't work. I tried several different user agents...
@seanfinn - I think the issue might be Cyanogenmod receiving from stock Aria, since the two people that I'm having problems with are on stock ROMs but they can receive them from me with no problem.
I have noticed that even other Androids are working fine so its just Aria's... I would normally say forget about it and move on but the two people that I message the most are these two Arias - seems like that is how it always happens.

I think you are correct. My wife has a stock Aria, and that is the only phone I have trouble receiving from.
i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.
Just did a complete wipe and installed the latest Emancipation release this morning.
When my text messages are a certain length, the sms message fails to send.
When I try to download dialers or themes using the OTA, the downloads are unsuccessful.
Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.
Im just wondering if I need to add another APN?
Thanks for the input!

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.
Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?
when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..
I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.
I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Its official, both my Infuse and my wifes cannot send long text messages. We have to cut them in half for whatever reason. Any ideas?
Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.
Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though
One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)
Nope. All themes go though the OTA.
Edit: It seems like this may help me out, but I can't try it tonight:

I have to preface this by saying I'm using Hellfire Sandwich, but I can't post in the thread in that developer forum until I make at least ten posts. When using other ROMs, I don't have this problem.
I was unable to access any data. Troubleshooting with a T-Mobile tech over chat, I found out that I had not one APN set in my Mobile Networks settings. The problem is whenever I enter in the settings for an APN and try to save it, I get returned to an empty APN list.
I tried editing a few fields and saving my progress as I went along, but it kept telling me that some fields needed to be filled. When I could finally save, again I was returned to an empty APN list.
I looked through the last 15 pages of the HFS thread and I didn't see any mention of APNs.

I had the same issue with version1.8. It seemed to correct itself after a while but sounds like you have had this issue a while too. I suppose you have rebooted a few times since you flashed and I also suppose that you have reset the APN to default. Have you tried a factory reset? If that doesn't work then you may have to reflash, maybe even redownload the ROM.
It has been my experience that there are almost always random data drops on these custom g2x roms. I could never pinpoint the source so I can't really help you there...
What usually works to get back data for me is a simple reboot or two.
This same problem bothers me still. I have run 4 different ICS ROMs and they all have lost the APN randomly throughout the day. True a reboot or two gets them back, but it is really annoying at times. Searching the forums will give you the result that that you need to "Reset defaults" in the APN list. This process takes anywhere between 1 minutes and forever. The official,word is wait however long it takes for the reset to work. But I have waited over 30 minutes before and just let me phone sit on my desk with no APN showing back up.
Very strange indeed. I'm not even sure how to track the problem down. I know logcat provides good information but I'm not familiar with how to utilize it yet. I would imagine it would show the errors of when a program needs to use data and you have lost it, but not sure it will log HOW you lost the data connection to begin with.

I suppose this is why the developer of HFS still lists in his signature that he's using a gingerbread based ROM.
I have not been able to send texts using vrbmf1 firmware since it has been released. Everything else works fine.
I have been using aosp ROMs pretty much since they first came out. I have tried everything, besides a TW rom to get it to work.
I always just get pissed and flash back to mb1 and boom, I can text again. Weird stuff. Frustrating because data and signal does seem to be better on MF1!
Over the last few months I have tried redownloading the modems, pulling my sim, full wipe, cache wipe, clearing messaging data, reinstalling my messaging app, and even doing a little dance.
My phone hates vrbmf1. If anyone has an idea, or has ran into this problem before I'd appreciate some help!
bump. anyone have any ideas? would the next step be trying to go back to stock? been so long since i have been on TW i dont even remember how to use odin anymore haha.
i thought the new baseband might fix it but it does the same thing. sometimes texts get out, but most of the time they just hang forever at sending.... i flash back to MB1 and they send right away. on cm11
what am i missing out on by not running the latest firmware?
I have the same problem, it works fine after resetting but after a few days it doesnt work if i text with the country code
