[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyh51:
Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm only getting very few messages through when people have told me they've text me, I have a few theories as to why this would be happening, but hoping someone has a solution:

As I've come from an iPhone, their phone is still trying to send as an iMessage

Google hangouts doesn't work properly yet

I've just ported over from O2 to Vodafone (serious mistake) which is causing the problem

If it's the latter I'll have to take the problem up with Vodafone, but just wondered if anyone else was getting a similar issue with Hangouts and normal messaging?

Cheers,

Joel
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
i can assure you it's 99% most likely that it's an imessage issue. i've gone through the hassle of trying to force a sign off of the imessage service and it's a major pita.

you need to get a hold of an iphone, and turn off the imessage service, it should start defaulting to sms on other people's iphones in a few hours/days, but it will immediately start giving your iphone using friends an error that the imessage can not be sent, they can then tell it to send as an sms, or if they have the option to revert to sms when imessage doesn't work it will do it automatically for them.

imessage is such a horrible system, and not being able to manually log out of it is very very annoying

Great thanks for the help. I'll give it a go and see if it's any better in a few hours.

No problem, it took almost a week for it to really stop trying for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3sidual:
I'm on KK 4.2 and Hangouts continually doesn't save text messages sent to me. An app called Ghostly SMS and Mighty Text will show me a couple messages every so often that never show up in Hangouts. I noticed Hangouts also has an "Import SMS" option in settings but it doesn't resolve the problem. Have you found a fix for this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaws4God:
I"m having an issue also. i've never had an iphone so i know thats not the problem..

I started noticing that when I send out group messages to my friends.. i get maybe 60 to 70 % of the responses.. I only know because my wife shows me the messages she received and i'm missing several almost consitantly.. it makes me wonder if i'm missing texts that are sent straight to me.

I thought originally it could have been hangouts.. so i switched to 8SMS.. still continued.. now i'm using the Stock AOSP messaging app and still missing texts..

As far as I know i'm not having issues with calls or missing calls..

i'm praying its just a matter of getting this mysterious 4.4.3 update...

A week? I got my fiancee a Nexus 5 at launch and she still has issues with group messages sent from iPhone users.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
stupid iphone!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3sidual:
Get Ghostly SMS from the Play Store. It captures all of your sms messages so even if Hangouts or any other app misses a message you'll see the notification from Ghostly. I turn off the sound notification in Ghostly, by the way, so my Nexus 5 doesn't get annoying with beeps. The "Move to Inbox" feature doesn't work on KitKat though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plastic101:
Toggle your default SMS "Account to show SMS in"

My wife had this problem on her N5. Solved it by going to Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it to SMS only account. Click back confirm the missing SMS messages appear. Then go back into Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it back to your gmail account to re-merge the SMS texts with your Hangouts messages.

HI! I'm building Android 4.4 but when I try to flash the ROM via TWRP, I get the following error:

Error flashing zip '/external_sd/box/i9305/omni-4.4-20131107-i9305-HOMEMADE.zip'

Any advice on what is needed to fix this fault is appreciated!

Is the recovery.img produced during ROM build flashable? It is 2MB smaller than the TWRP recovery image.
[Omni Q&A] iofthestorm:
Hey, so I went through this yesterday (see the Q & A section) and while I didn't resolve it completely, I know that it's because of selinux, and you need a newer version of TWRP. Right now in the Omni 4.4 manifest it actually has the AOSP recovery so you'll wanna change that to Omni 's TWRP on a local manifest. Beyond that it depends on your BoardConfig.mk whether your recovery is flash able, if you configured it ok then yes!

Check the links Entropy512 posted in this thread for more on TWRP configuration: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499514

In particular make sure you have a proper fstab in v1 format (see my last post in that thread for more details as well). My recovery built after I fixed the twrp.fstab at least looks and acts like a proper recovery, but haven't done anything with it yet for lack of time.
[Omni Q&A] u.k-f:
The reason for that message can be in the kernel configuration.

If those options are not set, this will cause this message:

CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y

if using Ext3:

CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y

if using Ext4:

CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

regards Uwe
[Omni Q&A] black_king:
I used for fix that ROM Manager app from Play Store and update to the latest CWM recovery. DO NOT USE TWRP!!! Just update that.
[Omni Q&A] mcampbellsmith:
Thanks.. I have all those set for Ext4 (the only FS used) and still no luck ....
[Omni Q&A] u.k-f:
Did you enable SELINUX in the kernel used for recovery?

The xattributes to be written are SELINUX Attributes...

Regards Uwe
[Omni Q&A] mcampbellsmith:
Thanks for your help everyone.

Recompiled TWRP and it works.

CWM also works when updated.

Cheers!
[Omni Q&A] scanno:
It is weird. I have compiled TWRP in the omni tree. The kernel config does contain the selinux settings:

if using Ext3:

Code:

CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y

CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y

CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y

CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y

if using Ext4:

Code:

CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y

CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y

CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y

CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

But i am still getting the set_metadata_recursive stuff. Do i have to include HAVE_SELINUX ? I thought that was for android versions <4.3

I did a clean / clobber before building, but i added also a kernel command to make selinux permissive

Do i have to cherrypick something to make it work?

EDIT:

Hmm somehow the new recovery image is not flashed ?
[Omni Q&A] u.k-f:
With the change from Android 4.2 to Android 4.3 I needed to enable SELINUX in the Kernel-Config.

Did you do this?

And, by the way, you do not need to install your new recovery, you can start ist from bootloader with

fastboot boot recovery.img

without installing it any time you build a new version

regards uwe
[Omni Q&A] scanno:
I fixed the problem. It was because of the fact that the image was bigger then the partition size. Using another kernel compression solved it.
[Omni Q&A] lordtillt:
Can you explain what you changed in the CWM tree to successfully flash 4.4?
[Omni Q&A] desalesouche:
hi

please explain all fix do, others dev have solution and clue...

we have to leave answer for duture and actual dev

thank you very much
[Omni Q&A] mcampbellsmith:
Nothing.

The latest version of CWM that was available from the website was quite old. Recompiling it with latest sources worked fine.
[Omni Q&A] scanno:
My changes were for the TF300T. The commits are on gerrit. You can see the TWRP configuration and the changes needed in the kernel.
[Omni Q&A] desalesouche:
can you send a link please?...thank you...
[Omni Q&A] scandiun:
In short, if you want to flash KitKat Android 4.4, you'll have to upgrade to a version of CWM greater than v6.0.4.5. Or, use an alternate bootloader.
[Omni Q&A] hazzel:
Try out another recovery.

I got this pb with phil touch, then I try it on TWRP and the ROM is now installed correctly : )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iaxx23:
Not really sure how bad it is but here's what I did

Last night I got an update notice for cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-i9300.zip I decided to install it.

Install went great. I went to sleep

Woke up I realized it was really unstable my phone would restart, applications would crash decided to go back to my old rom.

I went to software update and I ran 10.1.3 and my phone was stuck at the loading screen.

I then decided to take out the battery and use a backup to restore to Samsung's Touchwiz I did that.

I then used MOBILE ODIN to flash 9.1.0 worked fine so I decided to try and flash 10.1.3 back on it with MOBILE ODIN but the version of mobile odin was really old and it didn't work and now my phone is just a black screen unless I go into CWM.

So now I'm stuck in ClockworkMod and it says I have no backups to restore to...

I found the backups

/sdcard/0/clockworkmod/backup/

but when I press restore it says no files found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoutz:
You can download a rom on your computer put it on your sdcard then flash it in recovery. Just make sure the rom is for your model of phone. If you have a verizon phone you do not want to flash the i9300 file again you are lucky your phone even turns on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iaxx23:
I have an i9300 phone international version... oh god I just realized I'm in the verizon section. How do I flash with CWM? Because I already have a 9.1.0 cyanogenmod rom in my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoutz:
First do a full wipe. Meaning format data, system, cache, and dalvik cache. The go to install, find your zip and go. Also with cm you prolly need to install the gapps too.

i just did this myself and although i don't remember setting a password at all on TWRP, it's asking me one and i have no idea what it is. This is not allowing me to access data folder, sd card and such.

Can someone help me please?

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

well, if i didn't type anything at all and cancel the password request, it seem to get by fine.

i was able to delete data and mount sd card.

my initial problem was that i kept trying passwords and getting errors, and then canceling the request.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skyss07:
Problem Solved.

You will just download a custom rom and install it with full wipe or use odin if you want to go back to original stock rom. It's just a softbrick, at least you can go to Clockworkmod Recovery, you can still recover your dead cellphone unlike to hardbrick which will go to a very complicated steps.

Hello Guys!!!

As you all know that we don't have WiFi direct after Sense 4.x due to missing stuff from HTC on our device. I know sometimes you need WiFi direct for sharing large video songs, game data etc. you can't carry data cable all the times. So this is the perfect end of your pain.

And here it is - Xender

- Share anything you want. Apps, Files, images, videos, anything.

- You can connect more than one device and can transfer multiple devices

- PC Transfer is also smooth and user friendly

- Sharing speed is ~2MBPS

Download Xender From Here

NOTE: This app is available on Play store, but not updated. Use my source to get latest build.

How would you set up for Device to Device Sharing?

1. Just after opening an app you'll get the screen for creating/joining. Do whatever you would like to. Make a host or join anyone. Let say we are creating a group.

2. Join the group from other device

3. Select the files that you want to transfer, and shake your device to send it to other device.

You can see the progress on your Phone.

Also you can see the progress on receiver's device as well.

Your all files will be stored on desired location, default storage location is under Xender folder on SD card. You can change the storage location from Setting.

How would you set up for Device to Laptop Sharing?

1. Create a group.

2. Hit Connect to PC Button from app.

3. Check WiFi devices on your Laptop and connect.

4. Follow the instructions from phone and open browser and hit the link. Enjoy Full phone control from Laptop.

Hit Thanks If you find this app is worth sharing with you.​

[HTC Sensation] nick_862003:
How is it different..??

1) How is it different from Fast File Transfer..??

2) Do the other device should also have xender..?? because in Fast file transfer its not necessary that the recieving device has the app..!!!
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Great app, I will give it a try :)

But why you don't update it on Play store? it's more comfortable for users to download and install or update, because they don't need an app for file explorer or check the option to install apps from unknown sources? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] supenthoelll:
Let's try it firs..
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Otr the best ever transfer app ..superbeam
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
1) check it and see.

2) Yes, Other device has to have this app.

The guy who uploaded on Playstore isn't developer of this app. He uses old build. While this version is auto upgradable with latest updates. :)

Superbeam won't work with Sense 4.x and greater versions as we have Broken WiFi direct in Sense ROMs. It will work with Sense 3.6 ROMs and some of the CM ROMs.

Sent from HUNT'S Sensation
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Superbeam is not completely dependant on wifi direct..

It can also transfer files via wifi if the other person is also on same wifi.

Otherwise it uses adhoc/hotspot (which is the same thing I believe the above app is doing too)

Hello, I havent find how to put phone in silence, with volume buttons only goes to vibration mode, and there is no silence mode in settings, only way I found is to set ringtones to silence which is odd and slow.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megiddo2000:
Volume buttons does enable silent mode. It's just one "up volume" click away from vibration. So it goes Vibrate -> silence -> volume 1 -> 2 -> etc.

If that doesn't work for you, long press your power button so the power off screen appears. Right under turn off there are 3 icons, for silent, vibrate, and sound. Click one of them and voila.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s33squar3d:
i think you mean one "down volume" from vibration? at least on mine it goes silent, vibrate, then ring. if you hold down volume down, it will go straight to vibrate. push volume down again once on vibrate, and it will go into silent mode.

I made a small workaround that is very handy! :)

I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.

Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind. :angel:

As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget

I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.

Ariza patch does not fix IMEI issues. It fixes "00000" Serial number issues, which has similar symptoms. This patch does not work on EFS v2 ROMs. If you use it, you may irreparably break your phone.

Also it would seem, Phones that had this patch ON EFS v1 ROMS will break their IMEI if they upgrade to EFS v2 ROMS.

As yet, there is nothing proved to resolve this issue fully. Search the Ariza thread for posts by zuluman for potential fixes. This Page is hopefully the most useful or one of the patched modems posted

It would probably be best to get the serial number professionally restored either under warranty or by sla mobile repair shop. The Ariza patch was always only fixing something that should have been fixed under warranty anyway.... now we are seeing this issue - cut your losses

Finally luck

I had this problem in the past. How I got this problem,by updating my phones firmware.

I was messed up. I wasted several hours on internet for finding the solution but no luck.

One day I was going to market for purchasing cold air...... while I was walking on the side of the road,suddenly an Amazing idea came up in my mind. I took out my phone out of my pocket and gave to a beautiful dog which was standing before me . I had listened that giving your problems to a dog give you solution, so I did this. The dog took my s3 and threw it in the river. I WAS SHOCKED AND FELT EXTREMELY BAD, in the course of time the dog again appeared to me while holding my s3 in his handsome mouth. I fetch my phone and it was all fine, I went to setting ....for checking my imei and serial ..... and u know what everything was all right .i got my lost imei and serial back..........I was soooooooooo much happy about that. I kicked the dog with my cold air and run away......

u should also give your phone to a dog.
