[Q] After flashing rom, phone acts weird. - General Questions and Answers

ok so after successfully flashing to wicked Sensations, my broken phone functionality was fixed, including my phone logs and dialer. now though whenever i get a call from anyone, including my saved contacts, i slide the answer button, and it says "... from unrecognized caller, press 1 to answer, pre# 2 to send to voicemail." its annoying sliding to answer, and then having to hit dialer and 1 before i can actually answer it, ive even dropped a couple of calls i really wanted to answer because of it. in the settibgs there is a call/message block option, but it is only supposed to block calls or messages on the lists, in which case i would think the phone would not even ring at all, so i wouldnt think that had anything to do with it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

didnt help. i read the rom page and did it step by step, wiping both cache before flashing the rom, even wiped both cache again just now but all it did was replace unknown caller with the name of the contact that is calling, still asking to press 1 to accept the call. it doesnt say it needed any extra kernel on the rom page. maybe ill try a different rom but i really really like this one.

My phone acts weird since I flashed her too, she doesn't answer my calls or texts and she blocked my number and now she filed a restraining order

really? thanks ever so much for trolling, it eases my frustration.

9016 voicemail fix thread for Cyanogen Nightly Update users

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Just thought this would be a good idea for all of us having voicemail problems.
Post solutions and comments on developing a fix here instead of clogging up the cyanogen thread.
PS the spiicytuna method posted on page one of cyanogen does nothing to fix the 9016 issue.

Call the number included in the text you get. It will ask you if you have a sms voivemail phone or smth. Press one for no, and you stop getting the texts.

Tried that. You get a new text telling you to call a certain number to retrieve your voice mail.
Blacklist the number?
One way around it
Well. It seems you can go to Sprint and block the text message at the source. Just log into your account and add them to your block list.
Will have a voice mail sent to me and see if it works. I've read in other forums that it can take a month to work.

Update: Blocking 9016 did NOT work. My VVM updates, but I still get the annoying texts.
Any suggestions?
im not sure what that 9016 issue is but i do have a voicemail notification issue so i will speak of that
the sms you receve can be avoided while messing with ur settings in google voice online... when u click edit on ur mobile number there are options to uncheck sms notifications as well as transcriptions.. mess with ur settings and that fixes that issue, now onto the annoying one...
the way that i have figured out how to temporarly remove the icon is to flash whatever the latest nightly build is using rom manager and the use the option to wipe and adding the google apps, i then wait for my phone to reboot and let rom manager do its thang then as soon as i put in all my gmail information i wait till the menu starts to pop up then quickly press menu, call settings, voicemail number then change that *86 to my 10 digit phone number then press okay then i quickly change my carrier to google voice then go through all of those settings quickly till i click finish then press okay even though i may get that error that says something like my carrier doesnt support google voice or whatever it is then i go back to the carrier option and even though google voice is already selected i click google voice again and it tells me that my number has changed... no more voicemail notification UNTIL i reboot my phone, so any new fix that maybe come out involving any other issue i choose to ignore if it means that i have to reboot my phone... also a good thing to know is once u have success of finally getting rid of the icon whenever a new build is released just install it using rom manager once again but this time DO NOT select the wipe option and rom manager will install the latest build without the voicemail icon and all ur settings will be good to go right after the install however the same rules still apply, one u reboot it will come back, so after installing the latest build just dont wipe and dont reboot after all is said and done...
even though some tard thinks me mentioning *86 as the issue is me "wasting bandwidth" i feel that that is where the issue is.. this is the only rom that i have to change the carrier settings right off the bat instead of defaulting to our sprint voicemail... im not saying im *****ing about the issue in any way but this is an issue ive been having so i thought i would mention that...
now onto things ive tried that never worked....
ive tried just keeping my sprint number as the default but that never works, my only solution has been changing to google voice quickly...
ive called myself exactly 10 times and left myself voicemail messages, then after installing the latest nightly ive change to my voicemail number to sprints and deleted all 10 msgs and that did nothing...
ive gone into the application settings and deleted the phone data cache then quickly change to google voice without success, even after changing the settings i quickly pulled my battery and then started my phone so that it would default to googlevoice and still nothing...
since rom manager has worked for me as a temp fix ive tried doing all the same stuff using ar recovery doing all wipes and whatever else is possible without success, rom manager is the only one that works for me so i just stick to that...
and for those that say the google voice is too hard to setup its really not, just quit being lazy and do ur initial setup through google.com/voice and get urself a number and play with ur settings in there and when ur done with that then start the tutorial up top
i never had this issue until went from a cm6 nightly to zenfx2.2 to update my prl then I nandroided back and now i get these texts every 5 min
I think you guys should think of using Google Voice... Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is a Sprint VVM problem right?

Man thats some good weed!
I don't like Google Voice... It doesn't give me anything I want. I shouldn't have to get Google Voice to fix a silly problem.

My phone keeps saying "fresh" over and over again and won't turn on. I am running stock froyo android CM6.0.
Can you help?
Maybe I need to update my PRI.

Problem with google voice is that it sometimes disconnects for no reason. I was using it and had to change because it kept dropping me and people would tell me my voicemail did not work.
I'd be cool with G-Voice if it did not do this.

This is just an educated guess and not a statement of fact, but having run the Fresh ROM in the past, it sounds like at some point you flashed your phone with the Fresh ROM, and then maybe flashed back to CM6 but forgot to wipe everything?
When the Fresh ROM boots up, it does indeed say, "Fresh!", so if you're stuck in a boot loop with that ROM's data, you could hear "Fresh!" repeatedly and your phone not start up.
I would go to recovery, do the full factory reset wipe, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then do your nand-restore or reflash of CM6, google apps, etc.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you for your time,
I would try to just wipe the dalvik and cache first and only do a factory reset if that doesn't work.

I may try it again, as I did not mind G-Voice. But it had happened a few different times. Now I admit I have not tried it since I went to RC2 and the 8/24 nightly.
I'll try setting it up again and see what happens.

SMS not working after Froyo update, please help.

Hi:
After Froyo update my texts no longer send. To me, everything appears normal, sends normally etc, but the recipient never receives them. I am receiving sms normally though.
Any thoughts? I'm desperate to get this fixed.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: MMS seem to work fine, it is only standard sms which do not work.
Anybody? Any suggestions at all would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks again!
thats weird, mine in ok after the update. but before I update to froyo, I factory data reset my phone. did u try it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Check the message center number, I use the aosp mms.apk so im not sure how to do it on samsung mms.apk...att has a device tutorial on their website, might be able to use it and find out...I use to work tech for att and 99% of the time if you are able to receive but not send, its the msg center number...its something like +13123149810 ..if I remember correctly (might be wrong but check)
EDIT
here try this ... http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/solutionDisplay.jsp?solutionId=KB115194
EDIT 2
also make sure its not the recipients fault, (problem with their network..etc..try sending a sms to yourself, and try sending to different people on different networks) ..its probably the msg center number, but just to make sure...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
My wife was having a similar problem after upgrading to Froyo, but only when sending to certain contacts. Not all. We ended up noticing that some of her contacts numbers looked like +xxx-xxxx. When we added a 1 after the plus (so +1-xxx-xxxx), it started sending correctly. Kinda weird, but it worked for us. So check your numbers and maybe either remove the + or add a 1 before the area code and see if that works.
You can try taking out your SIM card, putting it onto an older ATT phone. Send the it a message and make sure you receive it , send one as well. Then put the SIM card back into the other phone. This method worked for me when I had similair issues.
Take all parentheses and dashes out of the contact numbers - 8001234567
Trust me, it will work.
If all of that fails, swap the sim card with a friend. See if texting works with his sim card. I know it sounds weird, but my daughter had a similar problem with her samsung phone. It turned out to be the sim card.
Hi Everyone:
Thanks so much for your replies. Sadly none of them seemed to do the trick for me.
I am going to try a hard reset, since nothing else seems to work. I just haven't had time to re-install everything, so I haven't done it yet.
Thanks again!
PS: If that fails, is there a way to re-flash the froyo update from AT&T, I originally flashed through Keis mini, but it will not let me do it, since I am now up to date as far as it's concerned.
Hi Again:
I just discovered that sms do send if I use Handcent, or any other 3rd party software to send them.
Is there a was to re-install the stock messaging app only?
Thanks!

Whatsapp problem. Only receiving messages when screen turned on.

Hey guys!
I installed this rom on my sgs 4g. I really like it, and i didn't have any problems yet. As many others i am using the whatsapp messenger, and i am having some trouble with it. I only receive new messages ones i turned on my screen, or even ones i opened the app. Actually it is supposed to be working like the normal message app, so you are getting a notification when you get a message even if you have the phone in your pocket and you're not using it. It is really annoying me, because i am missing messages very often and after like an hour i am like: "oh, i should probably check my whatsapp". and than i realized that i got messages hours ago. When i first installed whatsapp it gave me a warning that i have installed a custom rom, and that i won't get any support by the support team if i have trouble, since it's probably the rom that is causing the problems. I hope somebody can help me. I don't really want to install a new rom if necessary.
Thanks guys! -de4dw0lf

So you don't have to click through: [ROM][MTD][4.0.4][AROMA]PARANOIDANDROID-v1.6a
That warning is a scape-goat for the app dev to refuse to fix their broken code. It sounds like there is a problem syncing and that would be the apps fault not a rom.

You don't by any chance have bln control in use do you? On AOKP if I use it, my notifications stop working until I disable it

Invalid Destination Address (No MMS)

Okay so I have flashed both the PAC-Man and Paranoid Android rom. Everything works how it should, besides the known bugs (if any). My problem is that every time I want to send an MMS, a picture message. It takes a couple second then it just says "message not sent" Invalid Destination Address" and my message can't be sent. I restore a touch wiz rom and I can perfectly send messages and receive as well. I see people in the respective thread for each rom, and I haven't seen one complaint about this problem. I have googled this and I have found nothing besides people suggesting that maybe the number has to have all 10 digits in the contact. (ex: 213-456-7890). But how the hell does it work on Touch Wiz but not on AOSP. Also when I get to the welcome screen right after I flash the rom, it says activating phone, it just hangs there saying waiting for service to connect for like 5-10 minutes. Then it says it couldn't connect and to find a place with better service. After that I can set everything up, I can make calls,send messages and browse the internet with my 4G except send picture messages.
I really want to go over to aosp but I send allot of picture messages so this is the only thing stopping me. And yeah I'm wiping clean in recovery and everything (I would flash every rom back when I had an Og Evo 4G so I'm an expert flasher. Lol)
If anyone else experienced this or knows how to solve this can you please give me some advice or suggestion on how I can get this issue solved. I would really appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance
Anyone?

Lollipop Caller ID Pictures on Incoming Call?

I have received a half dozen or so phone calls since I upgraded to Lollipop, and so far every call that I've had has a caller ID picture assigned in contacts, but none have shown up with a picture while the call is actually ringing my phone.
Has Google removed caller ID pictures on incoming calls, or is there something else going on here?
Have other people seen this happen?

Alright, at least I'm not alone.
Figures there would never be a problem with something so basic before, but Lolliflop can't seem to manage it.
HI, just noticed that too.
I played with stock Phone app settings and it seems to fix it for me.
Tell me if it helped.

Only 2 other people?
How are more people not complaining about this?
I have the same issue. Since the update on my nex 4, this issue has been there. When i call, the photo shows but incoming calls dont show the photo. Its annoying. I hope there is a fix soon.
Sorry to post on nexus 5 thread as i couldnt find it on nexus 4 forum
It seems to be only if your phone is locked (PIN, Pattern, etc), if your phone is on, and unlocked the picture shows.
Only using slide unlock.
Never an issue before.

Yes this??
Same thing here, i flashed xTraSmooth 2.3.3 .
Sometimes the image appears, but usually it does not.... Very annoying
Hmm tried every setting . Cleared contact storage and cache still same thing..
Same thing for me
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
256
Has anyone managed to find a solution?
Working fine for me, although I flashed the factory image and set my phone up from scratch
Even I flashed factory image and set up my device from scratch. But problem is there
Same thing for me. Did clean install and removed google account and back sign in again with no luck.
Have the same issue here.
Reimaging of the device didn't help.
This happening only on the locked device. While device is unlocked - picture appearing.
Using stock dialer and contacts applications.
Not yet. I've tried all kinds of things from disabling Google's Caller ID service, to setting new contact pictures for people, and I have so far been unable to make my caller ID pictures work reliably. I'll see it maybe one out of ten incoming calls. Extremely frustrating. My Moto Razr from 2004 could reliably display caller id pictures, but Lollipop seems unable to perform in the most basic of functions.
Same issue here. On factory image as well as a few different ROMs
