Unfortunately, {Messages|com.android.phone} has stopped

I've just flashed the latest ARHD (Android Revolution HD 1.2.2 T-Mobile) and am really liking the performance gains. Even compared to the ARHD 6.7.2 that I was running before, it's a pretty dramatic improvement. So, thanks to all involved for the work.

I am facing two functional issues that I would like to resolve, and I'm looking for suggestions. I have tried both the stock kernel and one of the custom kernels. I have also wiped both cache and dalvik cache with no joy.

1. The SMS application is broken. I periodically get a pop-up telling me "Unfortunately, Messages has stopped". Worse, if I tap the SMS icon, I get that pop-up immediately and don't get to view any messages.

2. I also randomly (several times a day) get a pop-up telling me "Unfortunately, com.android.phone has stopped". That sounds like a pretty important thing in a, uh, Android phone, but so far I have not figured out any specific problem it is causing. I can make and receive phone calls without any problem.

Anybody got any suggestions about either of these? (If your suggestion is "reformat all your partitions and reflash", well, I'd like to hear if you have a particular reason for thinking that will help. It's a lot of trouble to do that.)

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
From recovery, try "fix permissions".

If you've never done it before, be aware it takes a long time.

Might fix it.

P.
[HTC Sensation] wjcarpenter:
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it; no joy.
[HTC Sensation] wjcarpenter:
Looks like I stumbled across a fix for this one. I had a hunch that maybe it didn't like whatever internal storage files or whatever were used to hold these SMS. Before I flashed this ROM, I had used an SMS backup app to save my messages to my SD card. When I used that to try to restore them or even to make a new backup (of my currently empty SMS collection), it gave me this complaint:

ERROR! Error Creating Backup File : Can't upgrade read-only database from version 84 to 82: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: Can't upgrade read-only database from version 84 to 82: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

So, I whipped out my handy dandy root file explorer, went into that directory, and renamed the 3 files with "mmssms" in the name. After that, I could open the Messages app, but it still didn't work properly. A quick reboot later, and it now seems to function correctly. It recreated those 3 files.

I have also renamed the 3 files I found in the same directory with "telephony" in the name. Something has recreated those, too. So, I am cautiously optimistic that maybe the com.android.phone problem may be fixed as well (have to wait and see since that one is more random).

How's come those original files were not loved? Beats me.
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
sorry :( wont do that again
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
As always do a couple of full wipes and see if anything changes. Try not to restore any data backups for user apps as sometimes they can cause problems, personally I've had some issues with that. Using 4Ext recovery (I assume you do if not this should apply to CWM and TWRP too) wipe system/data/cache three or more times to make sure everything is gone, and use Superwipe for luck.

Hope this helps. :cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] wjcarpenter:
As an aside, I've seen this advice about wiping this or that partition or cache multiple times to make sure it sticks. I always figure that advice originated because people sometimes overlook one of many manual steps, or they do them in the wrong order such that it makes a difference. So, "do it twice" means "do it twice in case you actually didn't do it the first time" or "I don't believe you actually followed the instructions, so try again".

But, conversely, I would be pretty surprised to find that the process of actually clearing a cache or reformatting a partition was itself so flaky that it needs doing more than once. Is there any actual evidence of that?
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
You're quite right there's no evidence to suggest doing it several times is any better than once. I saw it a couple times over in the N7 section, and honestly myself I haven't noticed if this actually works. It's probably superstition in all honesty and I don't practice this myself unless I have problems.

Cool Rom

Hi, only had this rom for 48hours, It seems fast, smooth and works great.

Plus it's great for modding :)
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
You don't need to do it multiple times. If the format script wasn't working properly. I can't imagine running a faulty script multiple times fixing any issues caused by the first time it was run.

You don't even need to wipe cache and dalvik if you do a full wipe. The full wipe would have done that. Honestly, I've never wiped cache and dalvik when flashing anything. Even back when I was running cm7 nightlies on the hd2. Never had a problem with it.

However, ymmv.
[HTC Sensation] tidji22:
Hello,

I need to reset my phone (i am running ARHD 6.8.0). How shall i do to proceed ?

- Reinstalling 6.8.0 after wiping datas ?

- A specific code to enter to go back to factory os ?

- A wipe from recovery (4ext touch) is enough ?

- factory reset from bootloader ?

- From parameter menu and SD/memory and reset factory datas option ?

Which is the best ?

thanks by advance,
[HTC Sensation] david.f.girault:
Hi,

Nobody here seems to notice my previous post where I say the sqlite "optimizer" script is bugged.

So if apps force close after a reboot, remove the 85sqlite script, reboot in recovery, mount data partition and manually fix permissions with adb shell.

See my previous post for useful 'find' command to search db with bad permissions.

Hope this help, regards,

David

How can I disable the option "wake screen when message arrives"?

[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
In terms of normal procedure no you don't need to wipe multiple times, or the cache/dalvik. I have seen on a few occasions a users problems have been eliminated by doing this, and honestly it can't help to do this, just to add to the list of methods tried to troubleshoot. Each to their own really. :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Perform full wipe and reflash whole Rom again:cool:

And if possible format sd card ;)

After using ARHD on my Sensation for 2 years, I have just upgraded to a HTC One Silver (an offer from Vodafone I couldn't refuse). I would like to thank Mike once again for his sterling work on this ROM, it's the only one I ever had on my phone, never even tried any of the others!
[HTC Sensation] tidji22:

Master Key Exploit

Hi mike1986,

Can you provide info on the fix to the Master Key Exploits?

See the Bluebox article here.

Google has apparently released a fix, and I believe other ROMs (e.g. Cyanogen) have fixed their ROMs. Would you be able to use the fix to patch your ROM, or will you have to wait until HTC releases a patched version of their ROM first?
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
I assume you are using darkforest tweaks? I think it is in the lock screen tab

Edit: misc tab

I once did a wipe in recovery then in the aroma, it didn't actually delete anything (still had old files I had modded when I looked with a file explorer) so I think it just does a simple flip (swap 1's for 0's and vice versa)

Surely formatting 4gb (entire emmc) should take longer than a few seconds?

But mikes superwipe script always worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
Yeah I reckon it should. Superwipe is normally enough for a new ROM, be nice if we had an option to completely format or something. :cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
To go back to complete stock you will need to find the RUU for your phone.
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Hi. Though the rom is working great, i am just curious to know what would rom cleaner clean? What components would it delete? Has anyone used it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Rom Cleaner cleans away the apps you do not want.

Plus any bloatware.

Plus all sorts of other things.

Read the THREAD

It works really well.

:)
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
Lots of people use it. It can be used to get rid of anything sense related and any built in apps. Make sure you do a nandroid before you use it.
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Is anyone using any of the tweaks available in Aroma at flashing? Do they make any difference have them installed? I tried the seeder script before on sense 4.1 roms however did not make any noticeable difference. Any thoughts or suggestions which one is worth a shot?
[HTC Sensation] Pacattack:

[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
Yes you can.
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I use Radio 11.24A.3504.31_M. I get random reboots and turn offs, even with different ROMs. I tried ARHD 6.8.0, 7.2, 7.3 and now I've been using ViperS 1.6.3 for a few days, but I still have the same problem.

Can the wrong radio do that? Do you think that I should use 11.29A.3504.18_M? Can the random restarts/turn-offs be caused by the radio?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Seems to me like a bad battery. On the other hand if you're s-off just flash the firmware mentioned earlier it won't do any harm. ;)

PS I don't think there's such a thing as bad radio that causes reboots.
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I had the same issue with different batteries. Now I'm using a Momax X-level, a few months old (maybe 6) and a friend of mine also has the same issues.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Flash new firmware and check all battery, sim card, sd card and antenna contacts. Make sort of cleaning maintenance.
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
All the contacts are clean.

I clean them every month or so.

I will try with the other radio as well.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Pic on the right looks really good )) even though radio is not the latest but certainly not an cause of reboots. I still recommend flashing latest one since it fixes frequent call drop issues.

As for reboots and cleaning, there's no need to clean contacts every month even every half year ;) just check and make sure they are not loose.

Oh, and don't undervolt extremely that can cause reboots as well.
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I never undervolted.

I always set the CPU @ default freq, don't use 1.5.

Where can I get the latest radio?
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Radio only: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 (2nd post)

Don't flash RILs, they are already latest and built-in in ARHD and other Sense ROMs
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I will just flash Radio.

Thanks

//LE: I downloaded PG58IMG.zip, placed it on my sd card, restarted into bootloader, but it said it can't update.

How is the correct way to flash a radio? Should I have downloaded another file?

Anyway, I'm thinking of trying a JB ROM.

Does it come with a different radio? Or do I need to flash it before ROM?

//LE2: I have to push radio.img with adb oO

sry for the noobish questions

//LE3: I just flashed ViperS 3.1.1, but still on the same radio. for some reason, I can't flash it. It

[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Yes but it the villec2 (the villec2 has similar hardware to our Sensation) won't get sense 5 it has already been confirmed. So it will be very difficult to port. Venom / SebastianFM have confirmed that the newest build is already out and no update will be released, if you need to complain then ***** to HTC.

I doubt Mike will ever do a port he has so much going on with other ROM's and newer hardware. Newer = more fun

How many people look backwards for more than a few days?
[HTC Sensation] Pacattack:
Why ***** at HTC, they are just trying to survive against the giants like Samsung and Apple.

If they made updates to older phones, no one would buy the latest model :)

Try re-flashing the ROM without wipe.

That should put everything back as it was.

Hi,

I had ARHD 7.3 installed on my Sensation 4G for sometime. Last week I was browsing web and the browser got stuck and I couldn't restart. So I pulled the battery out and tried to restart, but it was stuck on Beats Audio screen, but if I do the power+vol down I could get to boot menu and 4EXT.

After searching around on XDA I flashed the 3.3 firmware but that didn't help. So I decided to flash the ARHD 1.2.2 T-Mobile ROM. (I didn't do a superwipe since it looked like it's not needed unless you are coming from an older version)

After everything's said and done I rebooted and it was displaying the screen with the word 'android' on it for a long time. I checked back after few minutes and the screen was blank.

Now I can't even get to the the boot menu (power+vol down). I plugged in the charger and green/orange light does not come up.

Is this bricked? Any solutions?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] padvou:
How about you leave the phone without battery all night and then try and reboot to recovery?

If Power+VOL still does not work, I remember I 've seen some threads here and there about situations like this..

On the other hand maybe the last occasion of the phone getting stuck while browsing wasn't software related, which I hope is not the case here!

Very unfortunate!

Hope you resolve it easy.. :fingers-crossed:

or can I just use the instructions given under Method 1 here -> http://www.rooted.me.uk/tag/superwipe/

Can I just wipe using 4Ext? is it same as using the superwipe script?

It sounds like it's dead. You can try to make sure the battery isn't sitting in there loosely. But other than that it sounds like hardware failure if the phone won't even show the charge light.

That's my worry too. Looks like it's dead :(

The first time it happened, I was able to get it running again by leave the battery out for few hours. But now even that's not helping.

Yes, I did check the battery and it's connected well and it's fully charged. (I inserted a fully charged battery from my other Sensation)
[HTC Sensation] VekiCRO:
Something similar happened to me,also with ARHD 7.3.

It was ARHD 7.3 with Seb kernel @ 1.5Ghz and 100mV undervolt(i use that kernel and undervolt almost a year) and Turbo boost cache swap 100mb.

When i was going to sleep battery was at 100% and when i wake up phone was extinct.

I could not turn it on with power button until i pluged charger and wait few minutes that charge light appear.Then phone boot up and the battery was at 2%.

After that phone started to shutting down once in day every 3-4 days,then he died :( (only backlight when i tried to power on,no green/orange light when charger is plugged)

I took the motherboard out and warmed it about 20 seconds with heat gun and revived her :)

I dont know whether it is to ROM,Turbo boost,phone or it is coincidence.

Now i using ARHD 7.2,Seb kernel at 1.18GHz,undervolt 100mV and no Turbo boost,so far its OK,no shutdown for 1 week,i will post here if something change.

You can try this,you have nothing to lose.
