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

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
I have been experiencing dropped calls and it's been getting worse over the last few weeks. I have talked with friends who have had these problems as well, 2 of them actually getting new phones.
Has anyone else been having this problem and if so, have you found any solutions?
Fassy repeat? I haven't had this problem. Are you (and all the people with this problem) running stock?

I am rooted but stock. The other two are stock.
Are you sure its dropped calls or is it the audio turning off? Several of us are having that problem and there is another post here somewhere about it. My local VZW is giving a chance to jump into another handset because of it.

do you know where that post is at? I think I have the same problem. All of a sudden I can't hear any body or anything and it sounds like my phone is dead but the call is still connected. I need to know how to fix it.
Thanks
Let the complaining begin so we can get the GSII when it comes out!

Think it is on the 3rd or 4th page.
ok, so i have this thing for a lil over a month now i think maybe more....
but i have noticed that no matter what Rom or Kernel, even Stock.
if im in an area where i lose signal.....it may NEVER come back unless i reboot my phone. not a big deal in most cases but unless i look to check i may have no network for a couple hours before i notice that i have to reboot my phone. which means i get no calls and no text.
is there a fix for this or is this just something that i am experiencing??

that is strange that it does not auto-reconnect. my suggestion would be to try a different modem than the one that you have been using, if you have not already tried all 3. find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173704
both odin and cwm flashable versions. maybe you'll have better luck with signal with a different modem, so that your signal doesn't drop completely at all.
on my SD card i have had all three modems for a while now that i had been flashing to see which one i would stick with. but my phone has been doing this since day one. on any rom or kernel or modem. i just wanted to know has anyone else seen this or is this just specific to my phone........
at that point i would be looking to get another one.

you may not have to reboot - have you tried just toggling airplane mode on and then back off? that restores data when it goes out for a lot of people.
if you've tried that, and it doesn't work... not sure what to tell you, except to exchange the phone.
i rarely ever have a strong signal - usually worse than -100 dbm, especially at my house - but i've never had the problem you are describing.
hope you get it worked out. maybe contact at&t or samsung for support also, while you are on the stock ROM.
So far the airplane thing seems to work. so i will ride with that, it doesnt seem to happen but once a day or so......so if i can just do that then i will just deal.
thanks for the idea bruh.
No Network problem on samsung Infuse

Rooting your phone shouldn't affect anything, as long as you don't flash a different rom. I have not listened here that someone after rooting experienced problems with Gps or any other app still using the stock rom. As you were told, use gps status to see if satellites are detected. If non are detected or are not fixing, go to menu tools and reset the A-gps. If u are still experiencing issues with the gps try flashing this patch...it works nice:

Before doing anything, try rebooting your phone....it works for me...

Being lazy doesn't allow breaking of the rules. Searching before opening a new thread is part of the rules you agreed to when joining.

This has been an ongoing problem for... oh pretty much as long as I can remember. Every time I plug my phone in, the screen stays on. I've dealt with it, I've created a Tasker profile to take care of it... but it's just gone on long enough. I have no clue what mod I flashed to create the problem, but it's high time I figured it out.
The problem? I have no idea how to read a logcat or what I'm looking for. I've also tried attempting to figure it out via BetterBatteryStats (wake locks and what not), but still don't really know what I'm looking at.
Below is a logcat. I cleared it, then plugged in, then let it sit for 5 seconds and promptly dumped the logcat to a file. If anyone could help me figure this out, I'd be greatly eternal!
If there is anything else I need to do to help you help me, let me know. Thanks guys.

Are you saying that every time you plug your phone in to a USB to charge it, the screen stays on?
Really stupid question, but you don't have "Stay Awake" enabled under your Development options do you?
Hope you're ready for a really stupid answer... Iiiii'm dumb...
oh my ****ing god.... I can't believe I missed that.... I don't remember ever turning that on.
I really want to delete everything about this thread so I don't have to be reminded of how stupid I can be sometimes... Maybe someone else will learn from it...
Thanks man. I appreciate the help.
As it turns out, the option keeps getting enabled every time I reboot. No clue how to fix that. any ideas?

I presume that you must be running a custom ROM. Have you fixed the permissions in recovery - maybe one of the files is set to read-only, so you can change the setting, but it isn't saved? Failing that it might be worth asking on your device forum to see if anyone there has an idea.
Tried fixing permissions already. No dice. All the research I've done points me no where. Either people don't notice it's happening or it's only happening to me. The closest I could find is a bunch of people saying that they are having a problem actually keeping the phone awake when plugged in. Quite the opposite of my issue.
I would have posted this in the inspire forum originally, but it seemed like it could be a universal thing (common file in Android). I'll post it in inspire forum anyways. Maybe a dev knows where the setting is kept in the system and can point me in the right direction.
Until then, I've set Tasker to change the setting upon boot, which is way better than what I had it doing before lol.
Thanks for the help, though.
