Huawei Mate SE
I applied the upgrade over the weekend and it took away being able to send photos through texting. I did it the exact same way a few hours before update. Can send via email still but text a lot. Anyway to uninstall the update and have the phone function correctly again?

update: problem solved by itself. I unplugged the phone without letting zune finishes it and all the functions become available after 5 minutes. texts are back, twitter is added after several attempts.
hello everyone
I just received a push notification of the mango update the second time this month. this time the update is really available for the unlocked t-mo unit that I use on ATT. since my pc does not have enough space to backup all the files I decided to go ahead without backing up anything in advance. the update went smoothly until at the final step of the second installment. zune now is being showing "step 9 of 9 completing updates" for half an hour now. looks like the UI on my phone is mango's and all the apps I had are there. but the contacts and text messages are missing. (I cant even open the text message hub) and the people hub is not functioning properly - no contact - no facebook except the several friends I pined to start are shown on main screen. a notification on DVP says the update is complete but zune is still at the final step. should I wait for a couple more minutes or just disconnect it? is there anyway I can recover my text messages if I lose them? I had some backed up on my pc like 2 months ago.
any advice or suggestion is appreciated! I'm waiting for your help now for an hour. thanks!
I have a problem with Emails on my Samsung Focus, 1.3 with Mango 7720 installed. The phone downloads emails normally. But after a couple of days, it would redownload all the emails. It is so frustrating to see it download 2k emails repeatedly. It takes time and I cannot do stuff in the meanwhile as the phone becomes superslow! I thought it was a one-off situation. But it has happened several times now. The phone is downloading messages as I type now!
Any solution? Please help.
Thanks.
Well, not so much a solution as a mitigation, but have you considered telling the phone to not download all 2000 messages? If nothing else, that much burn a lot of your phone's storage... I only keep up to two weeks of messages typically, and use server-side rules to keep the really chatty mailing lists out of my inbox (and I don't sync those folders on the phone).
It's even possible that it does the re-download because it keeps hitting some storage limit, wiping the files out, and then starting again (though that's a very basic guess).
Thanks for the reply. I preferred downloading the entire stuff as I am on a 2g connection(Wifi at home, so I use it mostly at home), and it is pathetically slow to download stuff if I were outside my house. I have changed the settings to download messages from the last month. Shouldn't be much of a problem now.
Just to be sure, is it one of the Email bugs that was resolved in the 7740 update? I am on 7720, and I want to update via cab method, but just don't know how to. Thanks again and have a good day.
Why don't you choose to download say only last two (or x) days of Email?
Maybe that's what I will do now. Anyway, I noticed that this was your first post. Welcome to xda
i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.
I recently installed Wildstang's 4.0... ROM on my Dinc phone. I now seem to be having problems with sending picture messages. Anyone know why that might be?
Here are the details:
1. formatted and installed ROM update as per Wildstang's instructions.
2. incoming/outgoing messages working fine.
3. noticed a few days later that sending pictures via mms doesn't work (they just sit there). I can receive picture messages.
4. Call VZW. Dance around the question, "is this a rooted phone?"
5. They continue to help, ask me to do a Restore to Factory.
6. Did Restore to Factory, picture messages work...browser and a number of other apps do not.
7. Format phone and re-install ROM as per #1.
8. Picture messages work sending and receiving.
9. One day later I notice my pictures stop sending, I can still receive.
The only thing I can think I may have done to break the picture sending part is I used Titanium Backup to uninstall several VZW bloat apps which I had uninstalled in the old 2.xxx ROM (Actually, on that version I did it through ADB Shell and command line).
10. redid step #1.
11. Restored only my Google Market apps and left all VZW bloat alone using Titanium.
12. Now I can't even get my phone to send pictures at all (get the "failed to send" error). I have been able to send/receive normal text messages all along and I have been able to receive picture messages all along.
Any thoughts or insights into what might be wrong? I'm mildly suspicious that there is a bit of a conspiracy going on with VZW because coincidentally, they told me the other day that my contract is up for renewal and I should look to upgrade my phone It's so very odd that I have had my phone for 2 years with zero problems like this and now when it comes time to extending my contract that problems begin to occur...hah!
So I got this LG G Stylo a couple of weeks ago. its with cricket. when I first got it everything fine.
Then within the last few days everytime I send an image to someone ..regardless what network they're on , on their end the image is stamped with yesterday's date and a few hours behind so its like 28hrs behind
now when I send a regular text ...the time and date show up fine. I've switched the stock MMS and used Textra, hangouts..etc they all do the same thing, the text is fine but an image is always back dated and sometimes the image will just not be sent, like when I used Text sms Ultra . Images i get from other people via text are fine with correct date..its ONLY my images I send out.
I've gone into setting unchecked the automatic date boxes for "carrier" date and time, the auto time zone thingy too. I thought maybe it was my wifi so I disable that on my phone...and nothing.
The ONLY thing different is that I did root my phone, but everything else works, before the root I didn't have this problem. But I can't say it was the root because I THINK it started happening after root but im not sure since I don't send many images via text
any ideas ??
thanks
