This works fine on my phone.

So, three things:

1. If you send a SMS from GV to your phone's physical number (or an sms from anyone else directly to your phone), does it arrive? If your sms service isn't working. . . then you have other problems.

2. There is a difference between notifications and actually getting the message. Check your sms app for messages. If they are there, then change the settings in your sms app to notify you when they arrive.

3. Check your GV settings online to verify that forward texts to phone is checked on your phone. Do you have multiple phone numbers associated with your GV account? Could it be possible that GV on your phone is confused? I changed sim cards once and had to sign out and sign back in to GV and reconfigure the phone for things to work properly. Have you even tried doing that to make sure it's not some weird configuration issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
1. Carrier SMS works.

2. I do not receive any GV SMS in my SMS app.

3. Ditto.

At this point, the only thing I can think of would be that SMS forwarding does not work with T-Mobile prepaid (voicemail configuration with GV/T-Mobile also does not work specifically with prepaid plans).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
You may have a great understanding of how GV works, however you have not explicitly stated whether, in GV, you have google voice texts forwarded to your phone number..

If you do not have this forwarding, then you are receiving texts via the data network and you will only see them in the GV app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
Yes. My GV account online is set to forward SMS to my T-Mobile number.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cateyerr:
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm in the exact same boat. I did discover that when I set up GV to forward calls to my TMo prepaid number, texts are also forwarded properly. When I forward calls to my google chat (which sends calls along to talkatone on my phone, which is the whole reason of GV for me) it does not forward texts over SMS, they are only sent as data to the GV app.

Texts work if I enable forwarding to BOTH numbers, and i can choose to answer calls through the talkatone app, but the standard dialer shows up and gives me a missed call notification, so it's not an ideal set up :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
Sorry, no solution found.

And T-Mobile hasn't been especially helpful.

I don't know whether the limitation is intentional or unavoidable due to the network (for example, you cannot integrate GV voicemail services with T-Mobile prepaid).

I agree, it's not an ideal set-up. The GV app has too many kinks and it isn't the most intuitive experience for calls (I use sipdroid/exdialer anyway to bypass the app) or texting (I prefer GoSMS).

The only positive is that I know SMS to my T-Mobile # are important and GV notifications I can safely peruse at my leisure. =/

Whenever I try to flash a ROM, it says:

E: Can't open /sdcard/*romname*.zip (bad)

I tried flashing kernels with ODIN, I tried downloading the ROMs again, I tried with multiple recoveries. How can I fix this?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubradley1:
Have you rooted your phone first?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Redownload the file
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I did, and I said that too.

Yes, I am rooted :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash a rom how with Odin ??? if so are the files Odin flashable or CWM zip files .

This reads as you are flashing the wrong files with the wrong format .

zip bad means bad file its that simple .

What file are you trying to flash and with what is the basic question .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
Sorry if I was being unspecific, but I mean I tried flashing other kernels to see if it fixed my problem. I can open the .zip files that I am trying to flash on my computer, but I just can't seem to make them flash to my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
But what are you flashing the zip files with on the phone CWM 4 if so use a later CWM and root from Chainfires thread .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I am flashing with CWM, of course :)

I am on CF-Root kernel. I did try multiple recoveries, including the one in Siyah kernel. I'm sure that my phone is rooted, since I can do regular rooting stuff on it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I just tried downloading the ROM again, and it still gives me that same error. There should be nothing wrong with my USB cable or connection, since I can transfer other files that work to my phone. I did try multiple ROMs, but they all just seem to not let me flash. It just stopped working all of a sudden.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I just looked at a thread with a guy having the same problem on his Transformer, and it turned out it was CWM corruption. He used something called Gnufabio RecoveryInstaller to fix it. Is there anything like this on the SGS II?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
most probable case is your downloading everytime gettiing correpted..

try to download a ROM which has got MD5 checksum....and check the MD5 check sum after puting it into SD card using AFV tool market...

if you are on GB rom, download Siyah kernel Odin version and flash from Odin and see
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
Good idea, I'll just have to find a ROM like that then :D I will try and downgrade to GB with ODIN and then flash Siyah with ODIN first, to see if that'll work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
Downgrading to GB and trying there didn't work, I'll have to find a ROM with a MD5 Checksum then. How was it that I checked the MD5 after it's on the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
another option to try is....even chances are very less to work...download ROM manager and flash Clockworkmode from that and reboot into recovery from Rom manager, if flashing of update.zip seccess you will get a recovery, then you try to install rom from that...

this worked for me once when my CWM gave me a treble
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I'll try that. I just checked the MD5s, and it appears that the data I transfer to my phone gets corrupted. Maybe I should try downloading it from the phone.

MD5 before: FF9D66AB7449EF30360D0A5982338F97

MD5 after: 3C2AE2984024421FDF1A204315BE3CD0
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
hmmmmm, thanks to CWM for preventing bad files from flashing and bricking the phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I will try and download the ROM directly from my phone. This is getting on my nerves. I'm hoping that it's got nothing to do with my phone, and that it's just something to do with my computer or something. I'm running out of options here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
I am very, very, very, very, very, very relieved to inform you that it was indeed something with the connection from my computer to my phone! It worked! I wasted about three hours, but anyway. Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks to you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
we are glad........thank god
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddpruel:
if you dont want to have to download the roms directly on youre phone, you can use Xlink to transfer them from your computer wirelessly, you download an app from the play store and get a client for your computer. :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Qwertymash:
Hello,

I am sorry for a question which may seem simple but I never really noticed it getting mentioned.

My Galaxy ace was rooted then ages later I installed an the 2.3 update on my phone with Odin as it hadn't been released in the UK at the time (May even still be the case).

I have since installed CWM5 and CyanogenMod (yesterday in fact), now I am fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to confirm if I am correct.

Does the phone remain rooted after ROMs are installed etc.?

I am a huge fan of the CyanogenMod and would strongly suggest it to any one with an Ace that like my self was always on the verge of installing a custom ROM but always chickened out. It is extremely fast.

I only have one or two issues that I don't know if it is the ROM or my phone which are; screen no longer lights up just buttons when I receive a notification and if I am on Wifi the button back light randomly lights up - I think I saw some one else mentioning they had this issue, just wondering if anyone knows if it is the ROM and I can simply wait till there is an upgrade from the Cyanogenmod peeps or if it is my phone being an arse and I should maybe rock my phone back to stock and do it all again.

Sorry if I have not posted this in a manor this forum desires but still trying to get my head around where to post what in this rather huge forum.

Also,

First post so will also say Hello.... Hello.... :D

Thanks in advance for any replies.

p.s.

Third attempt to do the damn image verification haha
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Marco Chung:
Hello ~ :)

First, it depends on the rom. Custom roms are usually rooted. So,the answer is yes.

Second, there are bugs in custom rom. You can choose some rom with less bug or stock rom.

Sorry for my bad english:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
if installing/flashing stock rom, it'll be unrooted automatically even if its rooted before.

if installing/flashing custom roms, yes it'll stay rooted because custom rom mostly include root.

the problem u having might caused by custom roms/kernel, try experiments with different roms/kernel and see if its gone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Qwertymash:
Firstly, please do not apologise for your "bad English" - You have taken the time to learn English and I bet I cannot say a word in your language - so I thank you for taking the time to answer my question in a language which is foreign to you. Props to all those on this forum that do that. :D

Now back to the topic! hehe

Yes sorry I should of been more specific about what ROM I am rolling, it is this one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543521) :D I thought due to the amount of response it had it would of been a very popular one among the Ace community and was hoping some people may have had some insight into my issues.

And thank you for clearing up my confusion about the root :D

And while writing this I saw the post by an0nym0us so I shall reply to him as well in here :D

Thank you for that extra detailing when it comes to the rooting, that is the exact information I required.

Is their a ROM which is a "must" for an ace user to try out? I am being rather adventurous now haha My first taste of a good custom ROM has got me wanting to find more which either more stability or just improvements on other good ROMs :D

Thank you all for replies.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
1. Flashing custom roms will not unroot for phone flashing stock roms willl

2. Yes that lighting-of-backlit-buttons is a standard issue on cm7

3. Welcome to XDA :)

4. Before you post in development section please read the stickies(if u r on xda app) or the first 3-4 threads in general section (if viewing via browser)

5. Cm7 is awesome :) complaining about small issues will b neglecting the awesome features cm7 gives to your phone :D

6. Read the forum rules carefully and slowly or you may fall in trouble.

7. Always google for questions first b4 posting in forums ( i m sure your questions would have been answered by googling:D)

8. Best of luck :) :) :)

sent from my SGA powered by the best rom ever --CM 7.2 by the late F.A.T. ( I ll miss u F.A.T :D)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Qwertymash:
Yes I am sorry I had to ask questions that may well of been answered in detail with a google but I kept finding conflicting arguments about it so I thought best thing to do would be go to the most representable forum in the field and ease the pain of which was my question once and for all :D

And don't get me wrong, I was not complaining about the ROM I love it :D Just wanted to know if it was the ROM or me doing something that was causing the issues. :) If it was me - I would do it again if it is the ROM who cares - I know it will get fixed at some point :D

And thank you for the welcome post :D didn't get chance to check the rules correctly as I was at work when I registered and posted the first post haha Limited time while manager wasn't behind me hehe

I really like how you guys do not limit guests so they cannot see the development posts, that is really nice of the site. I was able to install the ROM etc, following instructions and links without being nagged to register and that alone made me want to register :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] themountig:
Welcome to the forum. Word of warning - if you come accross a program called Rom Manager please leave it alone. Most people on here would agree that you can recover your phone from all kinds of mistakes made while flashing new exciting roms, best method - make a backup, but using Rom Manager may damage your phone irreversably.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Qwertymash:
Yeah I have heard about it all over the forum. Does it work well in any instance?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] themountig:
May work beautifully with some mobiles only have Ace and like you read the warnings onhere and elsewhere re Ace. Just amazes me how many use it 1st then come here to ask "What happened to my phone". You are definately off on the right foot by getting info here 1st. GL

By the way don't be surprised if all your posts disappear - getting to 10 is not this easy I know.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
And another one, don't ask for questions like the best rom or the best something you'll seriously be hated :rolleyes:

Welcome to the family!

Anyway, flashing a custom rom will not take away your root. (I think they are already pre-rooted)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Qwertymash:
Yes I saw a full post about not asking for best rom.

Only thing I have asked for is a suggestion a "Must" try ROM as in a Rom that everyone should experience once :D So far it seems that Rom is the Cyanogen Rom I am currently running :D While I love so much.

Also, I am very very impressed with the XDA Android app!

Once I get to 10 posts I have a few inputs I am looking forward to getting into the development posts :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Most rom's come pre rooted in order to function

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orb3000:
Need some advice please

Any Flyer member who can advice me please?

Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.

battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.

Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!

Thanks in advance,
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RobE.:
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orb3000:
.

Thanks for your replies:

It didnt work pressing only vol dow for a while, or presing only power button, it never rests.

Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.

Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...

If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers

Any other advice?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RobE.:
Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orb3000:
Nothing happens :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
i would suggest trying to globatron's attention. if anyone on this board would know what to do it would likely be him
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RobE.:
I would agree with mcord11758... Still...

A red led isn't going to show with a 100% power condition. Later you wrote...

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...

If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...

Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.

...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orb3000:
Thanks.

Update:

I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:

sending..........

updating the Rom image on your android phone

It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!

Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Orb,

That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.

After it boots again it goes back to normal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orb3000:
Hi mate,

Thanks for your reply.

Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.

Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?

I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....

I swear never again to remove the back cover:(

PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)

I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marianajimenez:
hello

Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.

What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem :( i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] baldockdrew3:
Hi all,

I'm curious from what I've seen through all the ROM's if there is one that is actually naked Android.

I am hoping to find a ROM (any version of Gingerbread so 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 etc.) that doesn't have the TouchWiz UI, or any enhancements, but is purely Android like that of the Galaxy Nexus.

I know there is a thread out there asking about this but only under Galaxy S II Q&A, and for me I'm on a Telus (or T-Mobile) T989D, so the standard i9100 ROMs wont work for me.

Does anyone know if there is a ROM out there like this that they have seen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
