[Q] Send MMS or VVM Preparing Sim Card Error? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Got this device when it first came out on Verizon. Full root, s-off, etc. Flashed many roms since then no issues, currently on Viper 1.5 rom. This started about 2 days ago and nothing i can think of would of caused it except using this emulator string
su
am start -n com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard/.activity.CustomizationActivity
which is used to get the larger mms size limit for this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721582
I did the string as a whole instead of su first then the second part and got an error. Then did su, then the second part, it worked and reboot. This issue started that same day which is why i'm thinking maybe this had something to do with it?
Whenever i send mms, contact vcard, group message, or access VVM all the signal bars go away, sim card icon shows on notification bar, bubble pops up on the bottom of screen saying preparing sim card, then i get signal bars again, then this cycle repeats itself sometimes several times before sending the mms, connecting to VVM, etc.
I've tried a full factory reset, taking the sim card out, back in, reboot, no changes. Called Verizon and basically they said only other thing is new Sim card or new device.
Just seems weird this would happen and hate to go through a new device. Hoping maybe someone can shed some light on this and maybe a setting can be changed to fix this issue?
I can surf the internet fine, make and receive calls fine, receive mms fine, mail, etc.

Help with Skype (I searched first)

Simply put, I cannot get Skype to work on my Touch Pro.
I can use it to chat, but the option to talk is there, but I cannot select it.
I found a few instances of this happening on Windows Mobile 6.1 around the web, but no consensus on how to fix it.
Can you elaborate a little as to why it does not work? What happens when you open? Have you tried the obviouse which is to uninstall and soft reset and re-install? Throw a little more up so we can help you. _SDL
I did try to uninstall and re-install complete with a soft reset, yes. I also tried this with both versions of Skype mobil offered on Skype.com.
Basically, when you launch the program, a list of your contacts are displayed.
I can click on a contact and bring up their detailed information.
However, I can only click to chat and cannot click to talk. The image below is taken from my home computer as I do not have the screen capture feature installed on my phone. Now on my phone the red phone icon would be grayed out and you are not ale to click on it to do a voice call. You are able to fully click on the chat icon, though.

I have the same problem, I think.
You can sign in OK, but all of the contacts appear off-line (even though I know they are not). If a contact is selected, the chat button is enabled, but the voice call button is disabled.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no effect.
I tried changing the options (Wifi on/off, etc). No effect.
Yes, exactly.
Sorry I cannot edit my post to fix the image, but I keep getting a server error.
Doh!!!
The answer was that I had my status set to "offline".
Set it to "Online" and it works OK (except that it uses the back speaker - that's the next thing I need to get sorted).

Rogue beep when finishing PIN unlock

Just updated my US GSM (xt1034) to KK443 last night, had done a restore from the factory image because I had made a change to the system making the OTA fail and complain about my gmail apk.
Anyhow, all went well, 443 was running, restored apps via TB, everything was kosher. Seems like the issue of it playing an annoying beep when unlocking the lockscreen started right after I went to the Motorola site to test the lost device thing. I told it to play an alarm, it worked, could not turn it off like you can do with Google's Device manager. Had to power off via the menu while the alarm was blaring, had this rogue beep upon lockscreen unlock ever since.
Goddamnit! Pissing me off. Hate to do a factory reset after I just did the full monte last night.
Any bright ideas?
Googling failed me btw.
Added a wav of the sound, plays along with the regular Android sound which you can't hear. Had to zip it, can't upload wavs here?

Went back to the Motorola device manager page to try to re-enact and this is what they call "Peace of Mind"

Easiest Solution
I encountered this exact problem on my G...after much headaches and fidgeting with settings....decided to simply reboot and re-use the moto website to ring youmy device again & after unlocking your phone the beep should go away

[Q] Help fix annoying Voicemail Notification on cellular disconnect/reconnect

So I have this very annoying thing that happens on my Oneplus One. Any time my phone loses its cellular connection, I get a Voicemail notification (see picture at the bottom of the post). I get the same notification when my phone reestablishes the cellular connection. If I dismiss the notification, it goes away, including the statusbar icon, and does not return until my phone loses or regains cellular reception again. The notification even occurs if I initiate the loss of cell reception, like entering airplane mode.
I do not have any unread voicemails. I never set up voicemail through my carrier, as I use Google Voice, and I have cleared any unread voicemails from Google Voice. Interestingly, the notification asks me to dial my Google Voice number, not my carrier number. I have set up Google Voice as my carrier voicemail by dialing the special code into my phone.
Also, this happens independent of the ROM I use. I don't remember if this happened on the original stock KitKat CyanogenOS ROM, but it has been consistent with every Lollipop ROM I have flashed, which is why I am putting this in the general forum. Anyone have ideas?
Happy to provide any additional information, as necessary. Here are some essential facts.
Oneplus One - 64GB
Carrier: Cricket Wireless (AT&T)
ROM: SlimLP 5.1.1.alpha.0.3-UNOFFICIAL (build date: May 31)
Kernal: 3.4.107-SlimKernel-gde6d8ad

How to stop (SIM) pop-up messages from keeping the screen on indefinitely?

Hello everyone,
In my country, carriers would send those annoying pop-up messages (I think they're called class-0 messages?). This has been the case for a couple of years and they won't stop no matter what you do. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal with my previous phones; I just learned to ignore them.
However, with my A30s (which I've had for a few months), I'm facing a critical issue where the screen will turn on for the message and never turn off unless I close the pop-up or manually turn it off by pressing the power button. There are basically two types of those messages:
1) Ones that show up after a call is ended (very annoying but avoidable if I remember to close the message after ending the call):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Ones that show up randomly (sometimes at night while I'm asleep. Screen stays on overnight and drains the battery):
I couldn't even tell which app is responsible for displaying those messages. I checked the permissions for the messages app and the phone app, disabled the "draw over other apps" permission for the messages app, installed Google's messages app and set it as default (since I can't uninstall or disable the main one) but the problem persisted. I also checked the permissions for the "SIM toolkit" app but there were none. I tried disabling the notifications but the option was grayed out.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these messages?
Note: I want to avoid rooting the device or installing a custom rom.
