Hello everybody! Thanks for coming if you're here to help, I really need it, I want to find out if factory resetting is the only option because I want to keep my phone rooted, and there's so much stuff that I don't want to transfer over...
Anyways, my sms messages take around 10 - 20 minutes to send, if they even send at all, and yes, i'm at a spot where my signal is max, as my house has the best signal of all of the places I go to and this recently started happening right after I rooted. Also, when I download something via the play store, it downloads very very quickly(5mb/s), then just pauses at 61% or 88% randomly and doesn't move...
Anyone know what the problem is?
Got this fixed, thanks anyways, sorry for the useless thread here...
What was your fix. I'm waiting for a replacement phone because my text to other non sprint carriers will send out but they won't get received.
What did you do to fix it?

hello everyone,
this is pertaining to the ATT tilt
i did several searches on here about my problem.------ first off the problem is, when i receive a new text the phone notifies me by the corresponding tone that i have assigned to it, (like its suppose too) but after like 5-10 msg's the phone fails to sound. later i may go to the phone and see that i have like 5 unread msgs that never sounded when received.
Now back to the searches, the only thing i found were phone wont vibrate or receiving a msg it displays the wrong time and so on.
so if i over looked where this was covered i apologize in advance, i know how irritating it is to have to re answer the same questions over again. so please if anyone knows of a fix for this or who have had the same problem please let me know.
oh before i forget i also called att thinking that maybe the phone was defective, well to find out if it is theres nothing they can do cuz the phone is now discontinued.
Thanks everyone in advance
-John
I'm sorry I have no solution, but I can tell you I'm experiencing the very same issue on my Xperia X1. I've been searching to no avail as to how to fix it but I've come to understand anyone experiencing the lost vibration on SMS has found it was due to different apps they have installed. I, too, have noticed the time stamp on incoming SMS to be off (by 5 hours).
This, at least, helps confirm it's not your phone being defective, just software.
If you have fixed this since this post, please share your solution.
Thanks!
thank you for responding. im glad to know im not the only one with the problem. i was starting to wonder if anyone would reply. im very greatful. well i haven't found a fix or done anything that i know of, but it seems that the phone has fixed its self. funny i know and ive glad that it did. funny thing about it is that i actually called at&t about the issue, seeing if anyone has ever called in regarding this. the rep told me that if its anything like her phone, it wont sound after recieving a new text if she already has one that is UNREAD. i tried to explain to her that it was failing to sound even after reading all UNREAD msgs in my in box, and then receiving a new one. but i dont think she fully understood me. so now i make sure that i read my msgs as soon as they come in. try that if ur not already. my phone has not messed up on me for close to 2 weeks now. KNOCK ON WOOD. hope this helps you in any way.

When no sound issue appears is your messaging appliction running in background?? In my case there is no notificiction when the inbox is open.
Anyhow I have install the Phonealarm Pro http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html and I have this skin: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=7145.0... I am very very happy with this aplication and the skin
Hey everyone, I just bought an Infuse on Evilbay, and the first thing I pretty much did before I even stuck a sim in it was root the thing. I used this root found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1613523 (option C), and I installed a custom CRT on animation. I also changed my boot animation. I also have a root explorer on the phone, but I have only deleted stock apps. At least, I am sure I only deleted stock apps. The only bugs I have noticed are my original contact list does not function, so I got a new contact app and dialer. The other bug I have noticed if I try to use the stock task manager, the phone will reboot. So, I have a dif app that kills tasks and manages tasks.
So here is my problem, yesterday I left my town of 15k, traveled east on I90 50 miles to Rapid City, SD with a population of 75k. I got about 10 miles east and I lost all service. I was able to use navigation with GPS, but that was it. I called Straight Talk, and I was told the phone only works best in the activation zip code. I posted on Howard about this, and other ST users have been able to take their phones through multiple zip codes, states etc..
What I need to know is how do I fix my phone to work elsewhere? I know the APN settings are correct, I get the H+ icon when the data is active. I am using the APN settings from straightalksim.com. When I activated my phone, I had to use the zip in Rapid City as it would not let me activate with my zip. Would that that have anything to do with my issues? I appreciate all of your guy's help in advance, thank you!
Hey everyone, thaaaaaaannnkkkkssss for your wonderful replies and helping me out, oh wait, sorry, I hear crickets. I got my issue solved on my own.

Well...you could either put your fix in this thread so you can better the site & help other members who might encounter the same problem later, or you could just continue to sound like a giant douchebag & whine about how no one knew how to help you.
Sorry, I am more of an asshole than D-Bag! I don't know how I fixed it honestly. I did flash a new rom, and I flashed the KI3 modem, and bada bing bada boom all fixed and working. Wi-Fi speeds running 3-4 down 1.5 ish up, data speeds 1.2-1.5 down, 1mb ish up. So, its a good modem to use. GPS locks in 1-2 seconds without obstruction as well.
Well if you don't know what you did...leads me to believe that maybe service was just down and/or flaky in the area you were traveling...like a dead zone...have one near my house anytime I pass through the area I lose service...im on att by the way
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
As I said, I think the modem in the original package was wonky, who really knows. I know that my phone is working fine now, and I am happy. Here is a link to Howard Forums where I initially posted my tirade about ST and what I thought was their end to only find out it was my phone and what I did to rectify the problem.

I have not come across anyone else with this issue so im kinda nervous. Ive been on this ROM for about 2 weeks and this issue started yesterday. I have almost full bars, but i cant send or receive text, cant make or receive calls. I cant even check my voicemail... I have the Scv7 ROM, update 1, and the 1200oc update. I dont know what the issue is. Please, any help would be great. I love ICS but its about to go out the window...
NOTE: I noticed this after i woke up the next morning. Almost like the phone was in standby for so long (overnight) that something happened..?

Please post this in the SCV7 thread. they will be able to help you better over in that thread since it is dedicated to that ROM, plus the dev who built that ROM checks that thread as well.
Hi All...
Im on a Sony Z3 and I updated to 5.1.1 on Friday and there is a really annoying new little 'feature' included.
Whenever the phone looses signal it sends a notification sound/vibrate. no toasts or popups, just the notification sounds.
I am on Wind Mobile in Southern Ontario and my reception is not very good when i am at work and it goes off constantly. This has not been a issue before, as it never did anything when i lost signal.
Its really annoying when i think im getting messages or other notifications and there is nothing there, just lost signal.
Is there some way of disabling the network connection notification sounder?
Best Regards, CHez0or

I also have this issue since 5.1.1... I'm on AT&T in rural Colorado, and I get no fewer than 6 signal notifications just driving the last two miles to my house. Makes listening to music really irritating. Also learned that the stock clock application now crashes when using the countdown or stop watch. Looking to roll back to 5.0.2, which was actually really stable. Based on the variety of new issues, it looks like Sony laid a real egg with 5.1.1.
THANKS OBAMA.
Does anybody know of an APP that can control network connection sounds?
Its really getting annoying when it goes off without any kind of notification!!
This problem is pissing me the **** off too!! HOW TO DISABLE IT SOMEONE PLEASE?

I chatted for about 30 minutes with a tech on the Sony support site who was able to confirm that:
The signal loss notifications cannot be independently disabled.
There is no patch in the works to resolve the issue.
Rooting your phone to resolve this, or any other issue will void your warranty.
He couldn't say why someone would want to keep the warranty when Sony broke the phone with an OTA update and won't fix the problem... lol.
SO ****ing stupid... why Sony, why?!
And just like that, they stopped. Not sure if Sony or AT&T is to blame/thank, but I'm glad that's over with.

Was there some sort of update? im not sure if mine is still going... will report back shortly!!
EDIT:
It does seem to be solved!!
im not sure how... the only thing i remember getting updated was a "What's New" app update
And today it's back.
Nice...
So, AT&T were wrenching on the towers in my area over the weekend, and suffice it to say, this is still an issue. I was actually on stage trying to play a gig all afternoon on Saturday and my phone was going off constantly.
Not sure what I want to do about this. I really liked the phone before the 5.1 update, and couldn't believe how long I'd owned it without rooting it. But I guess that's where I'm headed. Anyone have a rom for the Z3 that they really like?
So you plan to fix bad cell reception by rooting your phone?

Wow... that is a pretty umm.... interesting... conclusion at which to arrive.
What I want to do is disable the notification sound that is played every time the signal drops, which, thanks to whoever approved the 5.1 update for the Xperia Z3, can only be accomplished by rooting the phone.
New system update available this morning. Currently installing it. Haven't had a chance to root the phone yet, so really hoping this fixes the issue.
So, this update did not fix the problem. I installed an app called No Signal Alert that will supposedly either enable or disable signal alerts. The settings did allow me to disable alerts for signal changes, but I haven't had a chance to see if it's had any effect on the setting that the update put in place. We'll see...
The app seems to be working. I watched the phone lose signal last night while driving home and there was no notification. Hopefully, that's the end of that.
App does not work for me... still getting sounds going off with all of the option boxes unchecked. FML!
Sorry to hear that... I will report back if I get any more notifications. You might try one of the other similar apps to see if you have any success. Good luck.
So, sure enough, the notifications started up again this morning. I haven't had the time to screw around with the phone, but I guess I'll have to make time... Otherwise, I'm going to skip this ****ing thing across a lake.
help, my Z3 hard bricked, i have put a thread about the broblem here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/g...icked-t3216404
Hi Guys /girls.
Just got an S7, brand new on O2 (UK). I usually root my phones but haven't touched this as it's quick enough and I don't want to play around with it until the warranty ends.
In the past few days the phone has been freezing, then it will turn off, sometimes restarting entering a bootloop. It will come back on for a minute or two, then repeats.
At the moment it is working following a forced restart but not sure if this will last. Has anyone else had these issues? Or does anyone know what it could be? Going to get it swapped anyway just to make sure but I can't understand the cause. Thanks in advance
Had the same issue this moth, send it to warranty it will only be worse over the days. Samsung replaced my mbo and now everything is ok
Getting worse.... Trying to get it sorted with O2 is an absolute joke, their customer service is disgusting. Been into two stores and on the phone to them twice and they're not simply swapping it for me.... I haven't even had the device three weeks

Nice one, good luck
New phone arrived. Definitely more responsive with a better battery life than the first one..
However it froze and restarted this morning....hoping it's a one off.

Are you using anything the same as with the last one, like a MicroSD card or headphones etc?
Anything that is common between the two phones?
Same app that might be doing it? Maybe a restore from a Google backup when you first boot up reinstalling a buggy app?
Did you upgrade firmware to the latest version? It might be a software bug.
Seems fine now cheers guys. Auto frmware updates (x2) were done last night....must have been a one off. Definitely won't be rooting this device like my older phones!
