I had the same problem. I found out it is caused by autorun manager apk. If you the same apk installed try enabled programs that self restarted.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I also experience this with EWJet ROM (which version i forgot, the one release early June). I follow the exact method provided in the post. When you have this symptom, you cannot receive SMS at all. Then I gave up, since i was waiting for important SMS, and reflash with stock again.

APN is only for internet purpose. Could be because of baseband or custom kernel.

When you want to use custom firmware which come with custom kernel, make sure you have latest X10 xRecovery installed to boot the custom kernel.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lockon Stratos:
Well not all custom ROMS come packaged with custom kernels and OP didn't specify if a custom kernel was flashed. Achotjan v03 ROM comes with stock kernel and unless X10 2.2 USER flashed a different kernel, it'd say it's the baseband. It's probably bb65 too so flash a different bb, try bb67.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
APN is also responsible for MMS.
[XPERIA X10 General] dsurka:
Make sure you have 40 mb free or more in the internal memory. It seems you've just flashed but maybe you restored backed up apps or something.
[XPERIA X10 General] gohwh1:
The only problem I have with messaging is I can't send long message.

On baseband .52 I only can send 1 message length. 2 or more, it will end up showing "sending" and give an error after a few minutes.

On baseband .67 I only can send 2 message length. 3 or more, it will end up showing "sending" and give an error after a few minutes.

If it only me that have this problem? Anyone can test it and tell me.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
Well the OP says SMS, never MMS.

Well i said for custom roms with custom kernel.. it just as a reminder, not the solution of the OP problem.

Anyway no need to continue debate. I just clarifying what i meant.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Snakehn:
When they swapped my fascinate for an incredible 2, they didn't include a Global SIM and i will be traveling out of the country for like 5 days this weekend, anyway...

i walked into a Verizon store yesterday and shortly after, a guy offered to help me, i told him that i have the inc2 which is global and needed the global SIM card for it, he replied that my phone wasn't a global phone, that i needed to call a 1-800 for them to send me one, i insisted that my phone was global and after 4 times insisting to him he said "wait" walked to one of the demo inc2 and looked at the specs and features, he said "oh ok so it is a Global phone"

then i asked again, so what about that global SIM card i need, he then called another associate and asked him about the SIM, the other associate replied, "but you need a global phone for that, the country that you're going uses GSM and you need a GSM phone, yours is CDMA" at that point i just gave up talking to both of them and left, aparently they don't know the very phones they sell.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
Hahah what tards.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
haha wow nice story. I personally think Verzion people are only hired to sell phones not know them or at least that's how I try to justify their ignorance. If you really want to get anything done you kinda have to call Verizon I'm sure they can set something up. Alternatively you can visit another store just make sure you report it to Verizon they give you free stuff and you might end up with a new phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The sales people at the stores are a giant mixed bag. The guy I bought my I2 from wasn't highly knowledgeable about the technology, but he knew the devices well enough to sell them, and was actually somewhat eager to hear some of my insights.

I've had worse luck with talking to people at the call centers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
You can just call Verizon and get an unlock code and use the sim of your choice from that country
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Snakehn:
yeah that's what i ended up doing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lstarr:
Ha! I usually end up more knowledgable about the devices than the sales reps at my local store too (and that's not sayin much!) but this time around, when I bought my I2, I actually had a guy who recognized MIUI on my INC 1 that my daughter was inheriting from me. He gave me a nod and advised that if I ever have trouble, make sure I unroot before bringing the phone in....I said "yeah, gotcha ;) "
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nrfitchett4:
new to verizon and the local corp. store has been really good. I did go to an "authorized retailer" once and they were retarded. My wife wanted to try the iphone4 since she had never had one and they told me that iphones didn't sell so they didn't stock them. They also told me that android was the only mobile OS that was good.

I laughed at them.

Apparently, they don't get much profit off the iphones, otherwise they would have had them.

As much as I am an Android fanboy, I'll still admit that iOS is a good mobile platform. The only two I'll really bash is Windows mobile and Blackberry OS. I haven't really messed with WebOS to really form an opinion about it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Weselers:
As an employee of an Indirect sales location, I LOVE when people who frequent this site come in and try to "one-up" on phone knowledge. They may know certain phones better than me but as an avid android fanboy I play with all of them and check up into every phones forum just to see how its doing (root,ROMs,themes,reviews) The best way to find out if an associate knows what they are talking about ask them what real world Mbps they can get on 3g/4g and see the response.

It's usually a blank stare...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
The ones here were thoroughly convinced that the Tbolt sim was compatible with global and vise versa with the Inc2. I walked out of the store while he was in mid sentence.

Another rep at a Verizon kiosk in the mall told me any Verizon phone will automatically convert to 4G OTA as soon as it comes out for us.

Store reps are idiots. Usually helpful and nice but they're dumb.

If I hear one more of those guys tell me I should download a task killer I'm going to burn the store down :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nick.koutrelakos:
Hey, not all of us store reps are uneducated about the products we sell... but most are :D. I'l admit, I do enjoy when someone who knows at least a little bit about Android and just Verizon stuff in general comes in, but y'all'd really be surprised at how uneducated some of the people that come in are.

"What's an iPhone?"

In the middle of a city. True story.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Ikonoclasm:
Rule of thumb: if a rep knows what XDA is, he's not totally clueless. My regional manager likes to say there are three kinds of reps: sharks, techies and customer service. The sharks are the people that rock at sales, but don't know or care much about what they sell. The customer service makes sure all the customers stay happy and have their problems resolved. The techies make sure the other two stay out of trouble. There's a reason why 50+ reps in my area have me on their speed-dial, sadly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Personally, I only buy phones from vz's site. Most of the Verizon stores are franchise's and are dumb people just selling phones.

I'm sure their are a few of you that now what your talking about, but its few.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I have a co worker and that's all she keeps doing. I keep telling her to root her phone and install a rom. However, she has had bad experiences with windows phones and is afraid. I keep telling her Android is different. The developers actually are very knowledgeable and create really great stuff. Hopefully, one day I can convince her. She has a t-moble LG G2x.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] troyftw:
I work for Best Buy, we make about $15 off of each iPhone we sell... its pretty crappy. But what we don't make on the phone we make on the teenage girls who have to have a different case for each outfit they wear.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scsione889:
Someone mentioned call center troubles...I had a Droid 2 and I was just complaining to try and get them to authorize an early upgrade. I said it was slow...the lady on the phone told me that she's sure I can swap out the processor for a faster one from eBay. I gave up with phone support after that. LOL.

And here is where you say "cool story bro"...

Sent from my ADR6350
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Skyh:
Apparently most of these Verizon techs are clueless about the Inc2.. When I had convinced the tech over the phone to let me trade phones rather than do yet another warrenty claim on my Samsung Fascinate, he told me my options, and stated explicitly that the Droid Pro was the global phone. Then of course I looked up reviews and found out the Inc2 was a global phone as well.

So a nice feature I was getting that I had no idea about, because the tech apparently didn't know either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] funky_snowman:
im sure some of the customers are pretty uneducated, but i have yet to meet a store rep who actually knows their products or makes an earnest effort to help when i have a legitimate problem. i only go into the stores if i absolutely have to, it's always been a pretty awful experience lately. i've been with them for about 10 years, and i like my incredible II well enough, but I really regret going with them this time around. I think I have about one more bad experience in me before i call it a day, pay the etf and sign up with sprint.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] wilkhaven:
Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but ALK have just released their new sat nav application Co-Pilot Premium Live (or CP9 to those that have used it before).

It's currently half price for the first week of launch.

I've no connection with ALK or CoPilot other than having used it for the last 5 years. This new version looks good on the big screen Dell, especially in landscape.

While Google is free it relies on the data link, I'd rather have the maps stored locally!

If anyone else has used it have they found out how to import their CP8 favourites yet?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
is the "none car" navigation any good yet?

cp8 is appalling for working out walking/cycling options, often trying to do 10mile detours rather than use neat obvious routes.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] eSZee:
Would also like to know.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Bohemian:
Just bought copilot live 8, N. America and Europe maps. Is there an upgrade path? Are the maps I just bought good for the new program?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] satanix:
Looking at the FAQs on their page, seems like there are no upgrades available. Existing customers need to pay full price again.... this sucks...

http://www.copilotlive.com/us/support/faq-cl9.asp

Existing Customers

Can I upgrade to CoPilot Live from a previous version?

CoPilot Live is a completely new version of our software and requires a new purchase. We would love to allow existing customers to purchase the app at a reduced price, however currently the Apple app store and Android Market do not support the ability to provide a discount to existing customers. CoPilot Live is available to purchase for iPhone and iPad through iTunes and for Android through Android Market or www.copilotlive.com.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadow-box:
Hey all-

I'm seriously debating returning my TF due to light bleed. After reading all the threads on the subject has anyone come across a pic of a TF101 without light bleed? I really want to compare mine vs. a 'perfect' unit before I send it in for replacement...

For reference my unit is part of the B50 batch from Amazon.com...

Thanks,

shadow-box
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
I don't think mine has light bleed. But it's really hard to take a picture of one "without" light bleed because you can always set the exposure low enough so that you don't see any light bleed. It's a problem with how to take a standard exposure picture. All the pictures and videos you see have exposure settings / shuttle settings that effect how obvious the light bleed is.

I think it really comes down to just watching a dark movie scene - if you see light bleed, and it's annoying enough, then return it. A picture is difficult to truly see light bleed. You might see relative light bleed, but not absolute light bleed.

I'm about to return mine - the power button is stuck in the depressed position. But, no light bleed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KnightCrusader:
I don't think mine has any light bleed at all... that, or I am not sure what you guys are referring to as light bleed. Is it around the screen or another part of the bezel?

I'll check mine tonight and see if I notice any light leaking around it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HorsexD:
when talking about light bleed they mean the greyish areas at the ends of the screen. usually only noticable on a all black BG. what people dont know is that Most ips devices have light bleed problems. even iPads. if its not really noticable then dont return it. if its too hig then exchange it but know that the next unit you get will probably still suffer from light bleed. how much is anyones guess though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
My light bleed isn't noticeable

I do have some however on the bottom left edge area

however.....my charger is not working anymore :mad:
[Vibrant General] ashokjadav:
Does any one have wificalling working on simply honey 3.8..pls share
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
does no one search any more? there's already 2 threads about wifi calling and gingerbread. it's being worked on, and *JUST* recently got ported to 2.2.1. it's going to take time to get it working on 2.3.

tl;dr: no, it's not available right now.
[General Questions and Answers] hydroxylicacid:
So a texting justin bieber wannabe slammed into me yesterday at a stop light and the evo got whacked. The screen is cracked all to hell. I went ahead and had Asurion send me a new phone that should arrive tomorrow. Obviously I am concerned about the phone arriving with the 2.3.3 package already installed. If so, I was wondering about 2 possible options to getting cyanogen back. First, could I use an RUU file to get back to 2.2? I have seen this done however, the examples I saw were individuals who were previously running 2.2 and OTA’d to 2.3. Would that matter if my replacement phone was starting off with gingerbread. Second, I saw a few videos that gave detailed instructions on how to replace an evo screen. Since my phone is still working fine other than the structural damage, couldn’t I just replace the cracked screen with the replacement evo screen? Didn’t look too hard, just wondering if anyone else has done this yet? Thanks for your time.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Hey guys. I'm actually happy with my current setup (all on stock except some rooting and removing crapware) but i'd love to try out a different rom.

So i'm looking for the most stable rom out there, maybe even with some CPU modifications but that doesn't really matter.

I use my phone everyday, sms, whatsapp, internet, some pictures, some gaming.

A better battery life than on the stock rom would be nice too.

My phone's charging atm so i have time to check out some roms in the meantime, what about the Modaco Fr 17 Vanilla Edition? It looks the best imho, very nice and sleek.

Thanks in advance :)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
I'm using MoDaCo Fr17 with 622 basband.

Totaly stable... i've only used it for a couple of days, but i'm a heavy user and usually "fiddles" alot with the phone, installing **** in big quantities :)

So far i have had no FC's and no BSOD or reboots :)

And the overclock kernel is a nice bonus :)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Thanks for your input! :) I'm about to flash the vanilla version, i'll just play around until i find the one that suits me the best.

Which doesn't mean i don't want to hear more opinions :D
[LG Optimus 2x] navlem:
There is no "most stable" rom here. You have to try out yourself and see which is the most stable for you. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
For me stock is most stable :)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
the modaco 17 vanilla is running like a charm. the battery life is definitely okay, 2 days with normal use, some sms, some calls, a few hours of playing and browsing.

using stock baseband.

ofc no bsods, reboots, freezes, whatever
[LG Optimus 2x] navlem:
Wait till you try MCR 19 :P
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Are there any significant changes? ;P im the "never touch a running system" guy :p
[LG Optimus 2x] navlem:
More stability, more smooth. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The only significant upgrade is the much faster GPS-fix. Other than that it's just a slightly improved experience, everything is just a little bit better/smoother, which makes the experience in total much better.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Sounds great :) I will try it

Does anyone know how to get engineering information from the LTE radio on a Thunderbolt? I can get information such as RSSI, Ec/Io, PN offset, and so on from the 1x radio using ##33284#, but I haven't found a way to do so for the LTE radio. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mail_e60:
Since we have the ability to install the full ARM-based distribution of Ubuntu Linux (in a "chroot", similar concept to a Virtual Machine), I think we may have the ability to install MetaSploit on the Galaxy Tab.

Can anyone provide any pointers on how to get started with this kind of effort? The instructions to install full Ubuntu Linux in a chroot are at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836022&page=4

From within this Ubuntu Linux environment we can "apt-get install" just about anything from the ARM-architecture based Ubuntu Linux repositories using the Terminal Emulator. This means we could probably "apt-get install" most of the MetaSploit components, if they are available in ARM-architecture form.

Any thoughts on this are much welcomed. Thank you.

Update:

I got MetaSploit working on the Tab! I needed to follow the instructions mostly from http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html

I did have to install ruby ("apt-get install ruby" at the command line) and Ruby Gems (search for the exact apt-get name) inside the chroot'd Ubuntu environment though.

I was able to enlarge the 2 GB Ubuntu image to almost 4 GB using the instructions posted on the blog shown above which provided plenty of space to install MetaSploit and other InfoSec tools.

The next goal is to get BackTrack 5 (ARM) running.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't really get what hardware acceleration is....is it when you turn your device in portrait mode/landscape mode? because i heard that Vegan Tab GingerEdition doesn't support hardware Acceleration
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Hardware acceleration allows a hardware to operate faster than what the software can do. In the gtab, when we say hardware acceleration we are actually referring mostly to audio and graphics hardware acceleration.

Try to think of it this way. Suppose you are put into a maze and you want to get the other side. Without a map, you'd be wandering around until you get to the end. If you're smart, you can mark where you were, draw out a map as you go along, and even explore the maze in a pattern that allows you to find the route faster.

But wouldn't it be much easier if someone gives you the map of the maze and all you have to do is follow the map and voila you're done?

That's what hardware acceleration is. The cpu is sequential, performing one function at a time. Just the software alone isn't enough to optimize the hardware (audio and graphics). We need the drivers for them for optimization.

Unfortunately, those bastards at nvidia and google decided orphan harmony users barely 4 months after its release. Greedy corporate SoBs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
that's an awesome explanation, nice one!

But yes, no gingerbread support for our hardware's drivers which means things will rely more on CPU power and take more resources to do. Currently, since the device shipped with Froyo, Froyo drivers are all we got. However, if I understand correctly, an official Honeycomb rom was released for one of our sister devices, and we may be able to get native drivers from that.

We'll see.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Unfortunately, if you're referring to the viewsonic 7 incher HC tab, it's not exactly a sister of the gtab. The gtab is an adopted child and the 7 incher is a birth child.

And also unfortunately, if you're referring to the adam, NI didn't release a HC update from the google source code. They released a hacked version ripped from the transformer.

Just stick with froyo for now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skotter:
OK so you're telling me that i'm better off running a Froyo Rom then the GtabComb that is currently out just because of hardware acceleration?
