[HTC Desire S] bobcollege:
Hi,

I recently bought my wife a desire s but she has been experiencing alot of issues with a delay when receiving sms. It seems she gets a delay of upto 1-2 hours then will receive alot of texts all in one go.

The phone came with a custom Rom installed but i changed to another but the issue is still present.

Anyone aware of a delay receiving sms? if so anyone know of a fix?

i can give more info on the Rom that is installed if needed when i get home.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
The thing that could be causing this is when the phone gets "locked" on HSDPA (Whats HSDPA?). I had this problem big time on my HTC Desire (not S, original Desire). I can't really tell you how I solved this problem, and I'm not going to linger on the technical reasons as to why it might have had the problem to begin with as its all theoretical.

But if you want my solution, try updating to one of the many ROMs in the Android Development section. Just to name a few worth using.

Stock with tweaks and enhancements:

[ROM] [21 OCT] Saga3D v3.0 (Desire S official Sense 3.0) - [2.3.5] OTA 2.10.401.5

[ROM][30 OCT 11][Hyperion V2.1|Sense 3.0|GB 2.3.5][Hyperion kernel V1.2|OC|BFS]

Sense 3.5 ports from Runnymede (Sensation XL):

[ROM][28 OCT 11][Endymion V2.1|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V1.1|OC|FFC]

[ROM][Nov 6][v3.1][Desire S] BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid| Sense 3.5 | 2.3.5

[ROM][2 NOV] Runnymede S v3.3a [Sensation XL : Sense 3.5 GB 2.3.5][Stock Kernel]
[HTC Desire S] parapaul:
Sadly, a very common glitch with HTC phones and one of the android software updates.

As above, it gets 'stuck' for want of a better word - and while the data connection is fine, all the 2G stuff - texts AND calls, stops getting through.

For mine, rooting and upgrading the stock 2.3.3 ROM to Virtuous Unity which is based on 2.3.5, solved the problem instantly. For weeks before that, I'd been running the phone with data turned off, just so that calls and texts would come through.

Did you accept the update while being rooted?

Or did you unroot, then accept the update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChuckzTouch:
I just purchased an unbranded Droid RAZR (XT910) to use with my Chunghwa Telecom SIM card (unlimited plan) here in Taiwan. I previously used SuperOneClick to root my Motorola Milestone (XT701) and found that it worked perfectly. I understand that SuperOneClick also works with the RAZR, but I see that you recommend the Doomlords packaged—which I have not used.

I really don't intend to install a mod, I just want to root the phone so that I can use Titanium Backup and some other apps that require a rooted phone. I also want to disable/uninstall some standard apps that I don't use and improve my battery life. However I ALSO want to be sure that I can still recevie the ICS upgrade when it comes.

Any recommendation "to root or not to root" or what to use? I'd apprecaite it! :-)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
1. Root method used does not matter. You get roo, that is most important.

2. You can root now and still get ICS when it comes - simply undo any changes and unroot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChuckzTouch:
Thanks for the info!

One question: When you say "undo any changes", what does that mean? Just restore the original backup of the phone after rooting?

I want to do this, but I guess I'm a bit paranoid. :-P I don't usually spend this kind of $$$ on a phone, and I don’t want to "brick" it.

Thanks for any input you can give me!

I do not remove anything and just freeze stuff. This means just go into TiB, set filter for frozen system apps and run a batch command to unfreeze all of them.

If I have Titanium Backup Pro "Fix" the SU rights will there be a problem with the UNROOT script?

Your ROM is rooted but the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems.

Titanium Backup Pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases. Do you want to proceed ?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChuckzTouch:
Ditto...downgrade from WHAT?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Presumably you guys having trouble rooting have updated to one of the various OTAs. These cannot be rooted directly, you must downgrade to a previous firmware version using RSD Lite and the fastboot files from the fastboot threads for GSM or CDMA RAZR flavours. Then you will be able to root using the zergrush exploit, protect your root access using the OTA Rootkeeper app, and manually update to the latest OTA firmware revision again should you so choose.

The good news is that the fastboot files are non-wipe, so you won't lose much (if anything) in this process.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cravvler:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChuckzTouch:
Yup, exactly what happened. Within a day or two of buying my RAZR, I was offered an update and installed it. Not sure if I've got the guts to go through the process you've described! ;-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
this is what happened to me exactly.. and i do not understand the complicated procedure you guys take to downgrade to earlier firmware, root, protect root then update again..

im no rocket scientist and i am new to android.. i really do not understand the procedure.

or perhaps someone can translate it to layman terms?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TBacker:
Official updates won't install if you don't have all of the bloat apps (uninstallable ones) from the last factory firmware installed.

We bounce back to the last factory version to have the "prerequisite" apps and data present for the new update. We then re-root and protect the root, but don't tamper with anything else. That way the root can survive the update.

There is presently no way to root this new version after it has been installed. You do have the option of skipping the re-rooting / protection process, but you'll have to wait for someone to come out with a direct root for the new version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
If you are new to android you probably should not be attempting to roote right off the bat read the guide read it again then re read a third time just to be certain and know and be certain that you know what you're doing... In case you have not read anything else and I'm taking a wild guess if you haven't you can you seriously damage your phone.

In regards to the new firmware not being able to root does anyone have any idea when they are going to allow opened bootloader? Or even if they are going to. This is a little bit absurd since they promised that they were going to start unlocking them a while ago... And even if they don't, can someone crack it? I mean is there anyway to reverse engineer it... I know that there is a way...

droidwall is the only reason i want to root my phone..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] larrygeary:
How do they "lock" the bootloader, and why does that prevent replacing the kernel, if that's what we want to do? Couldn't the bootloader be wiped and replaced along with a new kernel? When Moto rolls out ICS, won't they have to unlock the bootloader to install it, since I assume it has a new kernel? Or would they just wipe and replace with another locked one?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
They don't have to worry bout unlocking it for anyone. It's all at their discretion. Picture a file marked read-only and requires admin password to edit? Well, it's kinda like that. And we don't have neither rights nor password

[Motorola Droid RAZR] larrygeary:
" Where do you find this option to"keep root after update"? "

Download "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" from the Market.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fliptwister:
Sorry for the noob question.

I bought my razr yesterday and rooted it immediately (thanks FrAsErTaG!). I then installed OTA Rootkeeper. The phone is now asking me if it can install an update. I chose later for update. Am I OK to install update? Is there any special way I should do this? Do I have to have anything else installed (like CWM) to do update?

Thanks!

You know, I've had my razr running since December, and I've only got one update, and it was when I started. Now the thing is, I have some apps frozen, so I'm thinking of NOT defrosting them so I won't ever get an update... Hmm... Maybe others whose afraid of updates should too.

Sent from my Norelco RAZR using your mum.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] larrygeary:
I would download Root Browser from the Market if you haven't already. Use Rootkeeper to back up root before you do the update, then update. If the update fails, you will need to browse to a file called "last_log" - but I can't remember what folder it is in. That file will tell you toward the end why the update failed, usually because it couldn't find some bloat file or matching .odex file. It helps to have a copy of the system dump of the original files of your current ROM so you can copy any missing files to /system/app and retry the update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fliptwister:
I have Root Explorer. That can do this as well, correct?

How come this is not documented? I have google and forum searched and got no results back about antivirus programs flagging the zergrush script!

I got this:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
the other ones use programs an application that you install on your computer to gain root access through normal means.

This 1 uses the script in program to forcefully gain root access by unconventional means. Especially this function is just like a trojan or a rootkit.

I take it you have never played starcraft 2 and have no I see idea how the zerg actually work

Sent from my Norelco RAZR using your mum.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CheesySeb:
No I'm afraid I was a downhill mountain biker so I missed the whole voodoo 2 gfx card and starcraft scene! :D

I am really surprised that this isn't more highly documented? Surely there must be someone else that's had this response from their a/v prog when going to root.

I'm not usually that prang about viruses etc but where it indicated an android specific virus I was a little more cautious...

I might just was until some amazingly talented entity releases a root method that doesn't trigger my a/v :S
