[G1 General] nitefallz:
Something happened to my over the weekend. I found it had reset and kept resetting on the loading screen. I took the battery out, popped it on and turned it on. It made it to the home screen but all the apps I had stored on the SD card would close unexpectedly. It looked like ext2 partition crapped out or something as none of those apps would run. So I restored a backup from Nandroid and everything was working again EXCEPT for my SMS/MMS.

Whenever I go into messages, it crashes with a "force close" prompt stating com.android.mms closed unexpectedly. I'm thinking if I could clear all the messages I had save that would solve the problem, but I have no clue where they're stored.

Any advice?

I deleted the DB with the messages, all is well.
[G1 General] HorNet505:
same problem here,

clicking "sms" pops up an error msg "com.android.mms ended unexpected"

I have not found any .db files yet :-(
[G1 General] alfa156v:
Hello,

Did you deleted mmssms.db or some of "PART_XXXXXXXXXX" files too?

Thanks!
[G1 General] VirtuallyNadine:
Deleting the mmssms.db file

For no apparent reason my phone's messaging app suddenly started force closing. After multiple reboots, even taking the battery out while phone was on, changing the language settings, and even doing a data factory reset, nothing worked. Found this post and deleted the mmssms.db file, now messaging app works fine, tho I lost all the old messages. That's ok, I had all but the last day backed up to Gmail anyway. So, just delete the database file.
[G1 General] :
I have the same problem. Did you permanently delete the database or is it still there? Cos I tried to delete the database throught root explorer but it still remains altho it has deleted all the messages saved in it.
[G1 General] zekesic:
any news on the com.android.mms subject????? I feel very frustrated with my android and i looked everywhere on the internet and can't manage to fix it!
[G1 General] echoota:
A possible fix

Here's what I did that fixed mine:

I think the root-cause of this error occurred from restoring old messages. There must have been a character/corruption somewhere that was screwing everything up.

Please note the following: I'm using an Evo 4G, running gingerbread-evo-deck-1.2 ROM. I realize this is a G1 thread, but this came up first on google, so I think it would be most helpful here. I was getting the error as described when using the "Messaging" app.

What I did:

Terminal Emulator

su (allow root if prompted)

rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Menu > Reset terminal (probably an unnecessary step, but it's what I did)

home screen > remove battery while running

wait 20 seconds

reboot

I don't know why removing the battery that way works. I did try force closing the "Message" app and it didn't work. I realize now I probably should have tried to figure out how to kill the underlying framework, but oh well. I'm not going to try breaking it again.

Anyone got this message? I have been running NFSFAN 6.5 V 6R2 since April 13th 2008 and I got this message this morning... I wonder if there is a time bomb in the WInMo... SHould I start backing up my stuff?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
I just got the same message last night.

Wierd but not the end of the world, version 9 should be done by then!!!!;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
Yeah but if version 9 has the same limitation, then it means we have to upgrade again ( if NFSFAN is still supporting Vogue) then....

I'd rather stick to something that doesnt require frequent upgrades... i hate configuring the phone everytime :(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Here I'm about to do what I warned you about in the main ROM thread!!!!! But I thought I'd post this here incase anyone else having the same p[roblem would read it.

Note to MODS: sorry!!!

You mentioned you were running V6r2. That one is build 21198, V8 is build 21501. These are both internal test builds meant for Microsoft only. While the timebomb was supposed to be defused The latest builds are "rtm" or released to manufacture. I don't think these would have timebombs in them, so even if NFSFAN messed up the diffusing (OR you and me added something that messed with it) I'm fairly confident V9 won't haven one in it.

Edit: I may be wrong, as NFSFAN has only been mentioning V9 lately, but I think he may release one last version of his 6.1 ROMS due to the new Manilla release. If not we can be fairly confident 1.31 (or your equivalent carrier ##) is the "final" 6.1 ROM. I would download it and keep it as a backup. 6.5 is still a baby and won't be fully refined until we actually see phones sitting on Sprint, Verizons and Bells shelves with it. HTC will probably greatly enhance touchFlo for it to nail Titanium. I don't know if our Vogues will be so obselete by then that NFSFAN will have stopped supporting them, but his last 6.1 release is very stable and bugfree.

I want to remove the default battery-gauge from the taskbar on my Diamond 2, since I like using the one that comes with Quickmenu in stead.

I've tried the registry "hack" (HKLM/services/Power/ShowIcon = 0)and it goes away if I'm in an app or in the menus, but when I'm on the homescreen it's still there. Anyone got an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

[Touch Cruise 2 General] mcvpjd3:
A friend of mine has one of these (Cruises) and asked me how to lock the keys to stop it waking the phone, I pointed to the "Key Lock" application in start/Settings/System on my HTC Diamond, however, he doesn't seem to have this on his Cruise, can anyone tell me if it's hidden somewhere else or if there is another way of setting this?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise 2 General] netnerd:
hkey_current_user/controlpanel/keybd/

DefaultKeyLock = 1, wake phone up with any buttons
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Dair:
Well, it is not mentioned if the friend of yours does read the manuals (no offense :)), so, pressing and holding end-call button would lock the device (can be set in "Buttons"). There is also usual password "Lock" function in settings/personal. These will probably won't protect him against unwanted picking up the phone or key unlocking when message arrives. For more advanced auto-locking some third party utility will be probably required - s2u2 maybe?
[Touch Cruise 2 General] mcvpjd3:
Thanks netnerd, will try this.

Dair, (no offense), but if you read the question it's not locking the device thats required it locking the keys. He knows how to lock the device and actually has S2U2 installed, but this doesn't stop the phone being woken up by key presses in his pocket.

Are you sure? Because when I lock my phone with red button, it reacts only to power button. Nothing else. And it is quite impossible to switch that button in the pocket.

Hello all,

Does anyone have a recommended bluetooth car kit which they have successfully used with the Magic? I'm talking about any of the "newer" generation of car kits, which sychronise your contacts on the car kit display...

Anyone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheRookie:
I've got Parrot CK3000 Evolution and it does work with Magic, however, there are two problems with it:

1. Sometimes (more often than not) the phone is connecting to Parrot after 4-5 minutes, even if it is the only phone registered with the kit.

2. It is not possible to transfer phonebook to the kit, and even if I transfer it from laptop, then the kit still refuses to do voice dialing (built-in one, not on HTC).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xenotimes:
Contact synchronysing works fine on my Peugeot 207, which has the parrot CK 4100 device.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Does anyone else also wish there was a xenon photo flash accessory for X1? I used to have one for my W800i and it worked great. Not sure why there is a complete absence of these for WM devices. I think iPhone's getting one.

I've considered rewiring the W800 flash, but it seems like a mostly impossible task.

I've also searched for registry entries to make the photo light brighter (impossible?) when pictures are taken, but came up empty.

Anyone else have any bright ideas?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Rewiring them won't work. Increasing the brightness on the built-in LED will destroy your phone.

You could buy a separate flash device, but those are fsking expensive.

Best option: Don't use X1 for proper photo's, buy a camera.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
sure, i have another camera, but it's not always in my pocket when i'm at the pub at 1am and a kodak moment arises!

anyway, increasing the led brightness for 200 milliseconds is quite unlikely to destroy the phone. (increaing it for 5 minutes is the cause of melted housings etc and that's a different story). i just doubt it's possible outside of some pretty fancy programming, and it may even be impossible.

but if anyone had suggestions for how to increase led brightness when the flash discharges, i'd be willing to be the sacrificial lamb.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Ha ha... well is seems like damn near nobody is interested in a xenon flash. Guess I got my answer as to why no one manufactures such an accessory!:eek:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I'm interested in BUILT-IN Xenon flash. I have done my share of pics in clubs and bars and the quality is so-so at best. Pics are good enough to not make me take my camera :D.

Yeah, me too. Wish there was a built in xenon flash but as far as I know there's not a single WinMo device with such a thing.

Iphone has (or will have) a case that has a built in xenon flash, which would be nice.

I have an electrical engineering friend specializing in LED technology so maybe I'll ask what would happen if we doubled the voltage going through the X1 LED for 200 ms. :D Still I would have no idea how to make it happen. Maybe I could ask the guy who made hTorch...

Well I have to send my X1 to have the LED repaired anyway, because it shifted position, so I'd be happy to torture test the LED to see how high it can go. But I bet that changing brightness during a picture would mean changing a dll file or something, and that's beyond my abilities.

Hi guys, recently got myself a second hand hermes which was preloaded with wm5. After using it for a while i decided to try on some upgrades, so i performed a hardspl and upgraded to a cooked wm6.1 rom. However i noticed that the battery life dropped drastically after this. At full charge, a 15 minute call would result in 50% loss of battery. Even worse is performing a video call, where my hermes literally dies off within a minute or two. Turning it back on shows critical battery low warning at 1-5%. Funny thing is, after a while, performing a soft reset would result in battery level returning back to somewhere around 70-80%. This probelm is only apparent in calls, as using the phone for playing music does not show similar problems. I have alrdy upgrade the radio rom as i thought this was the problem. However the problem still persists. Please can anyone help me, it is much appreciated. Thanks guys.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Scotty93:
it may be worth trying different wm6.1 or 6.5 roms as sometimes you will find that battery drainage is due to the rom you are running.

What is the reason?

my htc touch pro IMEI changed after update ROM(official ROM"like as: RUU_Raphael_HTC_ITA_5.05.408.1_R2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe")

and then my IMEI changed 17 bits--REMOVED--

when i install any software,the system to prompt the follow information:

"the program is from an unknown publisher.you should install it only if you trust its publisher.do you want to continue?"

I think this is just occasional,so i update ROM again and again.

but the IMEI is "--REMOVED--" all the same!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You probably don't want to post you imei online (maybe that's a fake #; if that's the case, you should say so).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] votum:
Your IMEI didnt change =/

Maybe for some reason the soft way to see your IMEI is corrupted, but look under your battery, that IMEI is still the same, and that's what matters because if you warranty your phone for some reason IMEI is how they track it. IMEI is basically a serial number for the provider.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] euphoria47:
^ not true. It is possible to change your IMEI number with certain software. When a call is made the IMEI # is recorded in the provider's billing software. With Rogers for example, this is the case, albeit few reps know how to find this and fewer still care what your IMEI is or isn't.

Not saying whether the OP's IMEI did/didn't change, but the sticker under the battery only shows the IMEI when the phone shipped.

Just like a sticker on the back of a computer may say "windows xp" while its OS is actually "vista" ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GSLEON3:
When you upgrade to a new version (Core) it will add one number to your IMEI only in form. It is still electronically recognized as the same IMEI, so don't worry. what you will find is that the number is the same, but has now an additional digit or 2 in it. This is just like a revision number & will not affect your services at all. This happened when we old Tilt users went from 6.0 to 6.1 & will likely happen again going 6.1 to 6.5 official.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] alex_2006:
Do you get your IMIE by dialing *#06# ?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Holland313:
Imei changed

Hi,

i work for a mobile provider an I changed yesterday my ROM and today I got an Security check on my work and my IMEI changed also, and that was a little problem. Because they have to check my IMEI number, to look that I have the right mobile with me. The problem is, that Security had only the last 4 numbers, but I found out the new added two digit numbers

Cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GSLEON3:
Hmmm...That's what I said above. It is the ROM/Revision number & it gets added to the IMEI. For anything truly querying the IMEI, it is fine. But it seems your setup is querrying the Registry version of the IMEI.

Anytime you upgrade roms, Usually OEM roms, this happens. It started with the first touch & the Kaiser.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ?Glitch:
If you ran a ROM that had been XIP'd for any reason (such as to make some software that looks to see the OS version to run), this will modify how windows see's the IMEI, however the radio will read it for what it actually is.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |Jason8|:
This is interesting... when I warranty return my phones to ATT, they ask me to do the *#06# and have me read off the IMEI... Could they tell if I've changed roms via the numbers I read off?

Could it possibly be a secret way to bust us all? :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ?Glitch:
No, no suits, black helicopters and vans unless you start cloning, there are your previous IMEI's on ATT system, they want to validate the problem handset as you have the ability to remove your sim and call them from a working handset, your account is bound to the sim, then there is always the accounts with multiple active sims, they just need the right one for the RMA.
