[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
still no SMS received

the saga continues - got the XDA back yesterday - repair slip stated that

a) I had downlevel SW and

b) wrong settings

- on checking the XDA - ROM level was the same as I handed it in, as was radio and others (I had flashed the ROM with the newer O2 version ealier myself)

- re settings - I did not change them from when I got the XDA back the first time.

On testing - you guessed again - same problem persists.

What to do now? Is this a problem with the XDA?

I can recreate the problem at will. Put the XDA in a spot where it shows one or two bars on the phone. Switch it off. Send two SMS. When receiving first one, XDA wakes up, looses network and re-aquires, but does not receive message. Second SMS (XDA is already awake) will be received. Delivery messages for both SMS will be received by sender.

Has anybody experienced the same behaviour?

@ perchhog

Hi -

see also post from Maresch - "SMS blocked or lost"

I can recreate this problem on a virgin XDA after hard reset without any SW loaded before a first Active sync. I am not using sprite or any backup SW and it happens. (I have seen posts stating this might be the problem but not in this case)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] PerchHog:
old sprite backup program

I guess we do have different problems; read also post from americans labeling sms messages as text messages..

well i sorted it out: got a new sprite backup program (3.0), tried restore from former backup files, it showed corrupt message files (\windows\messaging). I erased the whole directory, now it works.

good luck with your problem, if it is hardware, go get a new one.

"unreceived" text messages

I also have an intermittent problem with "unreceived" text messages. At first it was one mate and I thought he was either stupid or lying. Then another mate said that he sent an SMS that I didn't get either and he could show me the message in his "sent items" folder.

I found that if I reboot my phone every day it rarely happens. But if I leave it on for a few days without reboot, I'm bound to miss texts.

Tried re-installing etc etc, doesn't seem to help. Bottom line is that I've told my mates NEVER to send me important news over SMS, as I might not get it.

I love my 2i... I wish it was a bit more dependable though.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
tell O2 about it

Have you been on to O2 about this?

you seem to describe the same problem - (by the way - a reboot does not fix my issue) - When I talk to Novo - the O2 repair team - they have never heard about this - neither has the irish O2 XDA helpline. Go and tell them!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
still not working

I just got my replacement XDA 2i

I inserted the SIM, switch the XDA off and send myself a text message. You guessed right - the XDA comes alive, screen lights up, suddenly the network is lost, it re-aquires and - no sign of a new message received, nothing in inbox BUT a delivery report received on the sending phone.

Back to O2 ......
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
The Saga continues

Was on to a very nice girl in O2 support - and they are investigating.

Somehow I got the feeling it was not the first call she had re this issue.....
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
update after a while now

worked with O2 for a week on my account settings - they can not find anything wrong and show messages delivered - I do not get them. - O2 Data support advised to get the phone replaced - which I did - twice again and still the same problem. This is definitely a problem with the phone and I really do not know what to do any more. I have now the 4th !! replacement phone and still the same problem.....

Have you tried upgrading the radio stack? This has helped some people with connection issues.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
Hi Pug

no have not tried that yet - worth a try -

have no luck however accessing any of the links you posted for the ROM(s) with the 1.04 radio stack.

(no permision or site can not be found)

could you kindly include a link to the (non stripped) O2 version with camera fix and radio 1.4? - will give it a shot then
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
to Pug et all

Ok - found a working link to Pugs Rom (Thanks a million) - did a radio upgrade only (by deleting MS.nbf and nk.nbf) - had a glitch on upgrading but eventually got it all working. Now what you are all waiting for - the result:

tested the usual first and it definitely receives the first text message on wake up where it previously had failed. On putting it into a location where the signal strength is even weaker (less than two bars) it now does not try to receive - BUT will also not try to receive when back to full signal strenth - until a new text message is sent and then both are delivered.

Conclusion: HUGE improvement and no messages lost - (although potentially delivered with some delay - need to investigate this further). Hope everything else works as before have not tested yet.

3 CHEERS for Pug!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Irishfella:
final comment and resolution of SMS receive problem

First - the radio upgrade DID resolve this issue. (why I discarded this a few months ago? Seatone had the same problem on a Radio 1.04 :-( )

I sent myself over a 100 text messages since and did not get it to fail or loose one single message. I do like my XDA again!

The ONLY gripe I have is that the red LED does not come on to inform you a message is waiting for you should you have missed the acustic signal.

But I can live with that (nobody a solution for this I suppose?)

So final conclusion - the problem of receiving SMS on an XDA when in standby and weak reception which resulted in loss of network and lost text message before can be solved by a radio upgrade -

THANKS and 3 Cheers for PUG
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pippogsm:
Please help....

I had the same problem as you! Unfortunatelly, upgrading to the latest radio version was of no help to me.

Now I don't receive ANY sms... :( It seems that if I send a couple of sms messages, sometimes I receive them the second or third day!!!

I tryed different ROM's, with different Radio versions....

Now I've installed TUMA v1.4 WM5 Rom, hoping that this will do it. But still nothing.... If I send a sms from another mobile to my number, I don't receive it on the Blue Angel...

I've tried my SIM card in another phone, and it works well.

Also I know that I am able to SEND sms, I've tested this.

Please help, as this is reaaaalllllyyy enoying :((

Thank You.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] longnguyen30:
sms receiving

I know all your problem on 02 sms.

1. after upgrade your 02 rom. you use the backup fle from old ROM.

2. the sprite backup soft is running fastly and it have many functions but it can make this mistake.

the solusion is that you must insert one by one soft after upgrade ROM.

So I am trying to do a full return to stock. Because I am newbish I did not understand the difference between unroot/returning to stock rom.

I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 which is CF auto-root to unroot but I did not return to a stock rom before doing so.

In following that thread I ran TA and Full unroot in SuperSU...

To sum: I am unrooted, no longer have CWM recovery but am still running Clean Rom Ace 5.0.

What I'm wondering is can I now follow any root method to re-root, then follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to fully return to stock

?

I have already started following the instructions in this thread but am obviously stuck on #4 because I don't have root or custom recovery.

So I can follow any root method for the device, flash CWM then start on #4 on this thread?

geeeze this is a crazy world!

Any help is appreciated greatly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:

So I decided to go ahead and re-root and get CWM back.

Then I followed this same thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 and....

I find the spen, ezpdf, Dropbox combo to be perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] alias747:
I actually just said that in a recent post. It is true. I know that having the pen with ezPDF is amazing and works well. The issue is in the performance. Try an iPad. Load a graphic intensive PDF on it and then start moving around from page to page and zooming. It's smooth as heck. Now do it on the Note 10.1 2014... Choppy, inconsistent and slows down to a crawl sometimes. As much as a hate Apple and I think that their products are mainly consumption kiddy toys, they do have some very optimized well put together hardware and software. There is a reason why they are praised for their gaming capabilities, because the GPU capabilities are amazing. But like I said, outside of that, there is nothing special about it so it's not like that would win me over. The Note 10.1 2014 is what I am sticking with and it will do wonders for most everything, I just hope the video processing and random system performance gets patched along the way soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dtziheucdavis:
Dissappinted to hear that. I wanted to upgeade to a 2014 for better, faster pdf handling. I guess all the ipad needs is a pen with good palm rejection.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jkcarp94:
Is what you are seeing really attributable to a difference between an iPad and Android from a hardware and OS perspective or is it a difference in the PDF apps that are available? I know that it really doesn't matter in the end because the results of the same but it seems to be more related to deficiencies ezPDF then in the hardware or OS. I really wish Bluebeam would step up and bring their PDF reader to Android.

Compare GoodNotes on iOS to ezPDF on Android and you'll see why.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
Check out Mantano reader. I find that it has the smoothest experience out of all android PDF readers. There performance may not be as good as the iOS alternatives, but it comes pretty close. I can read a 1000 page textbook on my galaxy s3 without any noticeable lag or stutter. The performance should be just as good, if not better on the note 2014. It also has annotate/highlight functionality which could put the pen to good use.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
Before I shell out for the Premium version, does it have the ability to put sticky notes, and does it have a "turning page" effect like ezPDF?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
You should try out the lite version first because I think it's essentially the same in terms of performance. The turning page effect is not there for PDF files (doesn't matter to me really), it just a straight horizontal or vertical scroll. I believe you can put some equivalent of sticky notes - you can write a text note and have it linked to a page, but it wont explicitly show a sticky note symbol on the page. Also I must warn you that despite the scrolling and rendering to be really smooth, the text rendering isn't that amazing, but I'm not sure which other PDF reader has that anyway. What I mean is that, when zooming in, there is a delay before the text gets sharper.

Edit: there's also this other reader I heard is quite good performance wise. Radaee PDF reader. I haven't tried it out myself, but maybe you want to give that a look as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dtziheucdavis:
Mantano is indeed good and smooth, but it seems it does not have palm rejection when using the spen?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
Remember. You have a 15 minute refund window. I refunded it myself cause I couldn't find a way to persistently highlight. It was annoying to keep to the side to highlight. I emailed the Dev to ask but no reply yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] earthtk:
Its the apps that are present.

Just two app 'notability' and 'good reader" in ipad can already give superior annotating which up to date no developer in android has ever manage to create.

It has everything lecturenote, snote, ezpdf or any annotating app on play store has to offer. On top of that they auto cloud sync(no need for dropsync), it keeps text formatting of your pdf files, import and export in seconds.

Downside is... there is no s pen for ipad. If one day those 2 companies plan to hit the android market I think those apps I mentioned will probably be obsolete. I was quite disappointed with android in this when I traded in my iPad for a note 10.1 2014.:(

If a digitizer appears on iPad. It will be the end for the productivity appeal of android (apart from note 10.1 with multi window IMO).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
Best post in this thread. I agree on every point.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] earthtk:
:good: Hope you are not having a bad time with your note 10.1 haha..

Anyway my opinion is not a biased one. I have always tests device and tell friends if they are good or not. I have tried almost every single annotating there is on android but all were not up to my standard of productivity.

Please don't read peoples' comments on how good this app is or that app is. I was fooled.. Most of them only had the experience on one side of the coin and not the other. Try it yourself (if you can), and tell yourself which is better.

Here is my advise though:

If anyone want get an android device for PDF annotating or dealing with PDF(drawing diagram etc), please reconsider your option as a jotpro + notability/good reader on iPad as it does a better job.

If you don't mind all the hassle(frankly speaking its very troublesome) of rendering every single pages during import and export which takes a whole lot of your time for lecturenotes/s note (not to mention increase in pdf sizes and lack of quality) or lack of functionality of ezpdf (and other pdf annotator). Go ahead and get a note 10.1 for its multi screen so you can view and refer to multiple document at once.

If you are considering of hardware performance-wise, I'm not sure about gaming but other than that there is no difference between a iPad 3 and note 10.1 2014 edition performance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dtziheucdavis:
Is jotpro really comparable to spen though? I use my tablet only for pdf reading and annotating. The downside of all the ipad stuff has always been that the stylus is too thick and imprecise, and there is no palm rejection. Other than that, I do agree ipad is superior for just reading pdfs. Although, I have found that mupdf is extremely fast on Android if all you want to do is read and not annotate.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
iPad, Jot Pro and apps are POS. Just look at YouTube videos of mentioned app with Jot Pro like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4oTEQqSiyo

- Writing input is laggy even compared to my old Note 2. Should be even faster on Note 3 after it finishes downloading Call of Duty Strike Team.

Update: Note 3 (Snapdragon 800) is even faster as expected. Only suggestion is to change the freehand writing thickness from default super thick to either 1 or 3 point to make it more responsive.

- No palm rejection will give you carpal tunnel syndrome writing awkwardly with palm in the air. Or, you can waste half of your screen with what this guy is doing using a make shift palm wrest.

- Even on a full size iPad with the input window zoomed in, the writing is inaccurate and looks like chicken scratches. On Note 2 5.5" without zooming I can write tiny text accurately.

- I tested the free Acrobat Reader to annotate a 133 page PDF and it's fast to scroll, zoom in/out, manipulate, etc. and this is on my old Note 2. It has built-in cloud sync with Adobe or you can use a number of other services like Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.

- On the iPad with only 1GB DRAM you risk losing whatever you're working on when you task switch if, for example, you have to switch to VOIP app to take a call, check Gmail/Maps, run another app, etc. I've lost comments I was in the middle of writing task switching just between browser and Apple Maps and back on an iPad because the browser reloaded. Non-issue with Note series with 2GB and 3GB DRAM on the newer devices.

- It's wishful thinking but no stylus including Jot Pro can compare to the Note's Wacom pen and there's no way to stow inside so it's bound to get lost.

- If you're concerned about performance check out the Note 10.1 2014 LTE with Snapdragon 800 which is what I'm waiting for along with 12.2" to arrive in the US.

Forget about the iPad. I've used both and it's a POS.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dtziheucdavis:
That's exactly why I left ipad and ios. There still doesn't seem to be a good stylus option with PM rejection that is even close to spen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] earthtk:
It depends.. I never used notability with my Palm in the air before. There are work around for it. The video quality aren't very good that's why the words are sketchy. I have also never lost work while switching apps. I'm lazy to elaborate more lol.. Anyone would wanna consider go try them and see for yourself. Try notability! Really a good app. See if you can name one in Android that is better than that by experience not by videos or others' POV. I can post the screen shot of lecturenotes/s note and annotation done by notability to see if writing is sketchy.

Other than these I think I like the function of the s pen and the multi window functions. Otherwise I would really chunk this device out of the window*just kidding*

Point is, you should ignore what everyone is saying including and do the comparison yourself.
