Activation Error??? - General Questions and Answers

so basically every forum i try to post in except this one and general it tells me i'm not aloud to post because my account is awaiting activation...if i couldn't post in ANY thread i'd understand that, but why would it let me post in q&a and general just nowhere else?

Does that maybe have to do with the 10 post threshold or is this something differant since it's saying awaiting activation? I got to thinking after realizing there's a 10 post threshold, but i don't think it would make my account await activation though, expecially considering i had to email the site to have them setup my account for me because the account creation wouldn't work for me for some reason. They emailed back with my user id and a temp password saying the account was setup and ready for us, so i'm wondering if there's maybe some weird error on my account causing this?

Yes, you need to reach a certain amount of post (not sure now many), before write in the developers section.

ok thank you, i guess that would explain it then

weird text message. helppp

i just bought my tilt, just flashed to dutty v3 room and now i get a weird text every 4 mins. the number is 111145643 and it says wvi1 1.1 1111. is there anyway i can stop that text?
thanks!
Hmm I think you should call your carrier. Unless your phone is somehow sending itself a message, the kaiser probably isn't the culprit.
did you have express mail setup? if so you have to reinstall it on the phone then log onto the express mail server and delete the connection that you made for push e-mail or turn off push, then uninstall express mail on the phone and reset. you should be OK
^^I stand corrected!
I think that is for the IM+ program that ATT provides on their roms for im. The company is called wireless village i believe. I was bugged by it for a while, well the full hour I had my device before I flashed schaps!
I use Palringo until trillian gets a clue about wireless devices. It can sync with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk, and others.
BTW, It uses data instead of sms to send messages like the IM+ does.
i had the same question but alltheway awnsered it for me already... its kind of a side effect of flashing sometimes. it will go away on its own. i think i got it like 8 times and havent had it since.

its not necessarily a side affect of flashing, it can go away if you reinstall the app that was on the old rom that is causing it... its something that was installed on your previous rom that used silent sms to alert the program to perform a specific function. LIke PTT, expressmail, or the cing/att IM client (to tired to remember the name)... When these programs are running your phone will recieve a ghost message that is only read by the app to wake it up. Alot of these problems were seen in the hermes thread and PTT.
Nope....That is what you get when someone tries to PTT you. Without PTT you get an SMS message. The way PTT works is basically Voice MMS messaging with a trigger to open & close the voice connection (PTT Button) Those digits you see are altered SMS addresses, they are altered so that PTT can recognize them & shift it from SMS to PTT.
Agin, whenever you kill PTT, you lose the ability to decipher the modified address & hence, it's received as a MMS instead. The reason you keep getting it is because the request that was sent retries a certain number of times before failing.
why dont you ask that question in the correct thread....the one that deals with your rom??
TRY TO THINK BEFORE EVERY FILLING THE FORUM WITH THREADS THAT COULD BE ASKED ELSEWHERE

Well, that would make Dutty's never ending post even longer. We should save that post for other problems directly regarding the rom, and comments on new updates.
Beside, I believe the problem has nothing to do with Dutty's V3, it work flawlessly for me.
I am just so tired of more or less stupid questions that constantly are repeated because newies does not take their time and READ before starting threads and asking questions. This has to stay in the DUTTY thread - my opinion.
We shouldnt end up in a new HERMES forum with all the noise and bad mouth it had last year
I do not have anything against stupid questions in general - just do some searching and reading first..
So welcome all - lets use SEARCH some more..

Wow man take a breath! Your gonna get an ulcer.
to his defense i havn't seen this question in dutty's thread at all. and i've only seen it once but not onthe kairser forums. so cut him a lil slack. plus we all learn something from it...ptt or express mail can cause this. thats sure something i didnt know. hope all is well now...enjoy your device sir.
This question was answered on the hermes forum. That is how I solved my issue. I still believe it deals with the IM app from att that uses wireless village. Ill try to find some links to help get it solved.
I couldnt find the thread in the hermes section that described the issue. It might be from OZ messanger and not IM+. It is the version that comes preinstalled from the ATT rom. It is designed to use sms to im therefore making ATT more money.
I had the same text messages when I first got the Kaiser and ran the im software. I believe my test message had a different set of numbers at the end.
Here is a link to Wireless Village. They are a group that is promoting interoperability between handsets for a variety of functions (IM included).

EDIT:
I found this article from the cingular...er...ATT forums. This is the issue I originally had and the same text from the same number. The issue below is because OZ messenger was closed and not properly exited.

I spent all day yesterday figuring this out. I downloaded and install the .cab file to my storage card and then logged into the IM program (OZ). After signing out, it kept me logged into all 3 services (Yahoo, AIM, and MSN) and then I proceeded to receive 40+ text (SMS) messages b/c it was trying to "reach me". After sitting on the phone for about an hour and half with a great Data Service Tech Rep, we figured it out and now the IM program works just fine.

You know - Generally I don't get into these types of little spit / spat arguments - but today you have caught me at the perfect time.
Martinhdk - you are the type of person that makes dealing with the public so hard. You complain about things that aren't even worth complaining about. Sure - it was Dutty's ROM, but in essence had absolutely nothing to do with the ROM, it's probably the push to talk causing the issue. (Because I have the same issue) You had to try and prove yourself by spouting off and telling someone how to run things, when really, you were in the wrong.
Sometimes people get anxious and maybe don't do as much searching as they possibly should. Big DEAL - you are in a forum and since forums began it has been a problem. Does this require that you lay into the guy and tell him how stupid his question is? NO, it doesn't. You must be one very unhappy individual who probably lives a very lonely life - do us all a favor, in the future; keep your comments to yourself and let the moderators do their job.
I apologize to XDA - I know this thread / forum is not used for this. I just feel that sometimes these guys who insult someone younger / or maybe just not as experienced have a tendency to scare these guys away and I don't feel that is right.
i had the same exprience , its not the problem with your carrier , its the ATT IM+ app , if you exit the app w/o logging out of messenger app you keep getting this wierd msg , i tried unintsallng the app but no luck , finally i relashed a new rom and the error went away.
SOLUTION
What you do is you sign in to AIM at a desktop computer, the screenname you signed in on your phone. than a message will pop up saying you are signed in at two places and if you reply to that window with "1" it will sign you out at the other location, your phone. that should stop the messages.
the AIM service on your phone used txt msgs and when you close the program without first signing out. it usually causes that problem.
Stealth message?
I've heard of this so called "stealth" text message used by the carriers to send commands to the phone. My next question is - is it possible to send one of these so called "Stealth" messages from a phone to anther phone - with the proper instructions encoded in the text msg to automatically appear either on the users screen or in their inbox? I have heard this is possible but am very interested if someone could provide me a little more insight on it....
It's possible, it's been done. Would you like to know how? How do you want to send the malicious code? BT? WIFI? MMS? Maybe I can get you my bank account number & ssn while I'm at it?
There are other forums for that type of stuff, some proggies to do this are actually security auditing tools. Most all means though require the user to acknowledge receipt of whatever you send & then require them to execute it. However, I sincerely doubt that anyone here is going to give you any means to do something that may harm someone's device. Sure, you just want to play a prank, but how about the guy you then teach it to?

WIP SenseX Alternative - No root, deodexing required

It's definitely not completed (or as pretty as SenseX 2.2 BETA - here on the XDA)
BUT, it's my best attempt at this. I'll post the guide/backup probably tomorrow. Feel free to comment or leave advise/requests.
can i not post a picture?
I'm pretty confused.
WTF? What is happening here?
Hmm... wondering if it isn't that same poor lost soul just spewing words again.....
lol, no no
I always was a reader, never really a poster so the forum doesn't allow me to post any links or pictures. I'll post it soon, I just need permissions.

I also think you need to have a minimum amount of posts? Seems like links became avail to me after 5 or 6 posts? Maybe that's just when I got 'Approved'. I don't remember every getting a note from MOD, etc.
i think this is the same post from alldroid, and if thats the case (not to be rude) it doesnt look like sense at all

[Q] Question regarding a private message

I received a message from an account named "SamsungSupport" saying they wanted to follow up on a message I posted on the forum. I just want to know if anyone at XDA can confirm that this account is authentic before I respond to the message since the the account profile shows zero posts and zero activity for an account created roughly 18 months ago.
Any response to this would be appreciated as I do not want to provide information to an imposter account.
Ignore it.
As @zelendel said. Ignore it, the account is fake and it doesn't look like SamsungSupport. Don't give them your information unless you have gone to their site and applied for a return message.
Ignore it.

Just for future reference, this specific question should be posted in the About XDA forum, since the topic mentioned is, well, about XDA. (See what I did there? :laugh

forum's bug?

Try this, that i've discovered by mistake, change your email but don't confirm (I didn'n notice the email in my inbox), then you log in and you can't see any user profile, even yours, you can't reply in thread, but you are treated like you are a 0 posts user or a user blocked by admins, and makes you post in Q&A - thread name , i don't think this is normal because at least there should be a message that warns you didn't confirm the email change

It is assumed that you don't miss the message saying to confirm your email.

yes, sorry just wanted to share my experience

A little frustrated....

Hello, I just registered because it told me i had to to post the guest post that i had typed and submitted. If it wasnt a guest post option i wouldnt even went through with answering the question i was answering. So I registered just because i didnt want to feel like i wasted my time trying to explain something and help someone out, anyways i registered from the post preview page, figuring it would post it... well it didnt, so instead of explaining in detail like i did im explaining how inconvenient it was and possibly suggest removing the guest post option as to not frustrate others trying to contribute.
Anyways, instead of explaining it all again ill give the cleft notes:
ampsvc.android is directly related to wildgames/Wild Tangent..
look in your license agreements for ampsvc.android and follow the rabbit hole like i did for more answers.
Good luck and thanks for having me
