Anyone else having this problem with Handcent on the EVO?

Hello, all. Couldn't find anything on this elsewhere, so...
Was listening to all the raves about Handcent, so DL'd it from the Market on my EVO & have been using it for several days. Pretty good app & seems all the reviews were pretty much spot-on.
However, last night, when launching the app & selecting a message, my phone shut down & power-cycled. Waited on the phone to boot, went back into the app, selected another message & it happened again.
Hasn't happened since, but the only thing I know is different is that I also DL'd the text-to-speech add-on from the Market.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks to all the members & devs for their contributions, insights & info!

I wouldn't blame Handcent for that. The EVO (and most HTC phones) have a reputation for randomly restarting sometimes.

Understood. Wasn't really "blaming" Handcent, but wondering if anyone else had the same experience since both times I was using that app & trying to select messages to read.
Never had that happen when I was just using the stock SMS app.

If it happens again you might be on to something, but I've never had any problems with Handcent in 7 months.

Thanks, Biles. I've read lots of posts by users that have had nothing but good things to say about Handcent, which is why I was so surprised. Since my post(s), I haven't had this reoccur.
Something else has happened a few times, however. Intermittently, the secondary characters on the keyboard won't pop up. For instance, long-pressing the "c" for an apostrophe or the "k" for a question mark only results in a "c" or "k" being typed on the screen. The only way I've been able to get it to work again is to PC the phone.
While they're probably not related, I haven't had this happen since the latest OTA update from Sprint, but time will tell, I guess.
Thanks for the feedback.

i can help i had this issue to,my problem was that i set a notfication sound from my sd i even had to re flash what i did was i added all to tones i wanted in media in there respective folders in the rom i hope this helps

I am using Handcent and I dont have this issue...however my timestamp is off and even if I set -5 hours, it still doesnt work

as goofy as this sounds, you might want to try a battery pull. or an uninstall and reinstall of hand cent
I've never had any probs with it either in the month I have used it

are you running JIT on your ROM?

Defy MIUI 1.5.27 Bug

Hi friends, i'm tested MiUi Rom 1.5.27 for three days and i found some bug:
When i listen the music with miui music player, the phone after 20 minutes freezes screen. The only solution is to disconnect the battery from the phone!
The phone signal goes up and down and sometimes disappear!
If you find other bugs post here please!!!
thanks!

The sms FC bug is a huge one, they provided a link for the fix, but it did not work. It FC when you recieve a new message and message dissappears.

I don't get these force closes day to day. Not in normal replies and receiving. I have had it once and i know you get it if you select a contact in phonebook and choose send sms.

Man this Tom is highly unstable, the Rom earlier was pretty good with minur bugs.

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App

I had the same issue with the music player...happened three times while I was out running! I started a thread of my bugs on MIUIANDROID.COM in the Defy forum. I'm sure the bugs will be worked out (pray anyways)...but I hope soon as I'm loving this rom and all the sweet themes. All the different themes you can switch on the fly makes this phone completely different...it's like I get a new phone anytime I want
Right now I'm using zk buuf's theme...so friggin sweet!!! I liked the jeans one too by coolfire...all I can say is I LOVE MIUI and all these themes!
As for other bugs:
1. SMS notification tone randomly works, some times I've had the tone, other's not and just the led flashes.
2. If contact had multiple numbers, it only kept one when I synced and I lost the other numbers in that contact (e.g., kept mobile but lost home and office number).
3. This one's weird...I had wifi/gps/sync off, then dropped down notification bar and selected gps...wifi and sync turned itself on. It happened several times.
4. I downloaded the swype for gingerbread and it works great, however, when I restart phone, it reverts back to android keyboard and I have to go back into settings to select swype as default. Not a biggie, but annoying.
And not a bug...but does anyone have any idea if full screen camera/camcorder has been figured out (I've got infamous green lens).

everything is fine for me..at least for day to day use.. no fc at all..on miui since 4 days..

Bugs
Hi there,
Im on MIUI for 4 days now and I found a bug too:
-when the phone is locked and you recieve a call, sometimes "swipe down" does not work.
Beside that the translation to english wasnt done properly. I have chinese signs in the sms app and contacts left.
But Im very happy with MIUI. It looks and feels like Android should!

Where do you have Chinese characters as I don't find them in either app.
So don't be so quick to call them they work hard on translating.

I think I just figured out the music player crash problem. I am using setvsel and have the option checked for limit to vsel 1 on screen timeout. I disabled that option and have not had it freeze since. Do you have this option enabled by chance?

[Q] SMS MSG Question

Some times when Im viewing Text messages, they dont appear in order properly, Like I will send a text and it will be higher up and one I received before, as if I sent it before that, which clearly I didnt as it was a reply.
and when I restart my phone sometimes it will send a random text message that I sent ages ago to the last person I was texting which can confuse the other person.
anyone have these issues?

yeah i know what you are refferring to....download sms time fix from the market, enable it, and under adjustment method choose use phone's time

it use to happen to me all the time, still Happens to my wife all the time(she has mytouch 4g). the only time it happens to me or her is when we use third party SMS apps never on stock sms
Text out of order:
1-Do you have a third party sms app? ie: gosms pro, handcent?
It use to happen to me all the time but ever since I started keeping up with the amount of text in a single thread the problem does not happen any more what so ever. For example: text between me and my wife I don't let pass 150 text. Anyone else that I might speak to on a somewhat regular bases I don't let pass 30 and people I text once an a blue moon I erase a couple hours later after I'm done texting them. It does sound like a little work to keep up with but better to do it then scramble your **** up (at least for me). My wife never keeps up with her text like I do and like every 2 to 3 weeks it's starts glitching and doing all that you have said. It got so bad one time that she had to fully uninstall gosms pro them restart her phone cause stock was force closing.
2- to fix it just delete all threads and clear app cache and app settings, you do this by going to phone settings/applications/find app then clear all. If it still does not work then your going to have to uninstall your SMS client (which can be a ***** cause you tricked it out to your liking)
Old text resending after power cycle:
1- I ****ing hate when this happens. It usually happens to an old text that had problems sending and ether never sends and you leave it alone and/or after a minute the app tried again and it sends successfully. But still resends after power cycle.
2- the only way I have seen this problem not happen to much is if you just try to resend the text your self and/ or erase it from your text thread.
You don't have a third party SMS client and are using stock and experiencing these issues:
1- **** out of luck, can't help you there lol. Never happened to me. Suggest you restart your phone and/or clear cache and SMS settings
I hope you or anyone else can find this helpful. Thanks for reading at the very least

glad to help you

Agreed with the sms time fix. However, it doesn't always fix it... Still a pain once in a while. For what it's worth, I've always had this issue with HTC phones. For some reason, the timestamps just suck and for that reason among other reasons, HTC won't be my next phone. I somehow grew to love sense though

Never had the issue with my galaxy s, it doesnt normally do it often, but today its done it pretty much every text. hopefully this fixes it, do love my XE

Check your time settings..
I once had this kind of problem where all of my text (sent and received) does not appear at the bottom of the thread (where they should be). After some troubleshooting (restarting, re-installation of Go-SMS etc), problem was still existed. When I examining my phone, I found out that my time was reset back to 1970's and I remember that day that I detach my battery to my handset thus the time went back to the Jan 1 1970. So I revert the back the date to the current and my posting of message is back to normal.

[Q] What's wrong with ARHD?

Has anybody tried out ARHD and decided it wasn't for them because something wasn't functioning properly (camera, camcorder, maps, MMS, GPS, etc.)? This is my experience every time I try out a new ROM, and I have returned to stock again and again.
Getting curious about ARHD (particularly because it's so popular), but thought I'd save myself the trouble if other people have had this experience.
Is it as reliable for a daily driver as stock?

It's based on stock, so yes. I found no errors so far.

The only bugs I've found are the ones that are present in the Stock release i.e. the Browser not opening links properly and the Exchange sync time not staying put.
Hardware wise everything worked, I had a the issue with WiFi not staying off but that occurs with Stock as well and there's a fix for it now that seems to sort it.

Nothing so bad that i have gone back to stock
I have a few problems with the messaging app:
If someone sends me a phonenumber in a text, and i click it, it opens the phone app and should automatically enter the number so i can call it, but the it just opens the app without the number.
The messaging app sometimes opens very slowly (10-15 seconds after the icon is clicked)
Even with the right settings from my phone network provider, MMS is unable to download pictures.
Other problems:
Sometimes the phone is slow after it comes out of sleep (lockscreen in nonresponsive or lagging)
Very very slow boot of camera app (Not really sure if this was a problem in the stock version..
All of this is something i have chosen to live with because i love the rest of the ROM.. Im just hoping this is fixed in later releases

Yikes! Yeah I'm not interested if MMS doesn't work. Have other people experienced this?

I'm giving ARHD an extensive try now that we are running ICS. can't say I have come across that issue with the MMS. In fact, the only issue I have had is with WiFi not staying off. At first I thought it was an issue with ARHD, but learned that we have the same problem stock. I'm loving the ROM. I would love to ditch Sense though!

MMS worked fine for me. Maybe SecherFault should check their APN's (if they haven't already) as that's usually the cause of MMS not working.

Iv'e been using ARHD for a while. Pretty solid and fast. One thing I've realized is that my call volume. Whenever I'm in a call, the volume sounds crackly, like the gain is too high. I turn the volume almost all the way down. It's not my phone because I've used other ROMs and haven't had the same problem. Anyone know a fix?

Official Jelly Bean - Buglist

So I was THRILLED when my phone told me that I could download and install ANdroid 4.1.
Sadly, I experienced very visible and annoying bugs. I chatted with HTC support the other day and go a reply today. Guess what? They want me to send it to service. HA. HA.
Just want to confirm and see if any of you have ANY of the following bugs:
If I'm in a call and notification area get something new, the graphics are bugging (it gets a diagonal line through the notification line).
If you, for example, listen to music and have just sent an sms / tweet and changing track on the lock screen, the latest notification will flash in the notification line.
Lock screen disappeared (Related to TrueCaller. I have contacted them, but the bug was not in ICS)
Graphics not fluent at all (feels like Project Butter is missing) / Slightly slower than ICS
When you have an Exchange mailbox and set sync on "Push" and receive new mail, the phone notifies several times, sometimes twice and sometimes "reminds" every 5 minutes
If you get 2 sms immediately after each other from the same person, only the first sms will show. If you wait a while , the second pops up.
Messaging app crashes sometimes, just when you sent a message.
Of course I have done a factory reset after the update, but these bugs persist.
