Its not that...iv tried everything to fix it..even completely erased all contacts and added just the problem number and still doesn't work...cleared all recent info and sms removed sync completely...nothing works
[Fascinate General] funks:
same thing happened to me (sending a text to AT&T) - had to remove the 1 from all my contacts via GMAIL.

Now fixed
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Strange. I don't have any issues like this.
[Fascinate General] CDL0012:
I did have the same issue as the op described, but I think the ota update fixed it or the clean rom posted in the development forum corrected the messaging app. It definitly has something to do with the messaging app since when I installed handcent sms all my messages worked without the +1 being added.
[Fascinate General] Dhuss:
I had the same problem and fixed mine..here are the steps I took.

Log into Gmail on your computer, go through all your contacts and take out the +1 as well as the dashes 123-456-7890 to 1234567890 and save that. I then did a factory reset for my phone. Everything works great now.
[Fascinate General] rolo12010:
I think when you have a GSM service they use the + symbol
[Fascinate General] SirFenwick:
I had this same problem. When I got my phone the text messaging was working just fine. Couple days later no one was getting my text. So I went down to the store and they did everything they could do and I finally figured out it was the +1 in the numbers.

I switched over from a G1 on T-Mobile, so GSM can use +1 but it seems Verizon or CDMA has a problem with it.

I went through all my contacts, got rid of the +1. Yet when I'd send a message through the default sms app the moment they replied back it would automatically add the +1 again. So the only solution I found was that I had to use a different SMS app. I went with Handcent.
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Im more concerned why you have the country code in your contacts list anyway? Ever since I had my first phone years ago manuals said not to put the country code in your contacts list for domestic contacts. Ive never had a problem.
[Fascinate General] iifuzz:
i tried everything... the only thing that fixed it for me was a complete factory reset
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I had an sms issue I have been trying to resolve for weeks. Spent three hours with tech support troubleshooting, and finally determined something in the hardware. Took it in for a replacement. My g/f has the same phone, and no issues.
[Fascinate General] bmeek:
I wish verizon (or Samsung?) would fix this!

When traveling internationally, it's a royal PIA when your US & Canada contact records don't include the country code and you're trying to place a call to north america... When I go overseas, I use an unlocked GSM android phone, and I would like to load my US contacts via Google in a usable format (10 digit numbers aren't usable from abroad).

This is a Verizon-Samsung bug - removing the country code from all US contact records is a work-around (not a fix!). My previous Verizon phones (mostly old Windows mobile handsets) had no trouble sending texts to US mobiles using the international standard country code prefix.

I just loaded up the leaked froyo modem, kernel and rom (EB01, EB16 & superclean 2.6 voodoo respectively), and unfortunately I see this issue persists...

Can anyone tell me if any of the verizon Android handsets from HTC or motorola share this flaw?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
I've set up my exchange information and can receive all my mail from my corporate server just fine. But when I send any mail, it moves into the Outbox and sits there and never sends. I've even gone to the global outbox and clicked on the button that says to send them.

Anyone experience this? I've rebooted just to make sure it wasn't a temporary thing.
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
I found this is a pretty wide-spread Android flaw. I only searched the Epic forum, bad me. Looks like you either need to buy Touchdown (which h as its own set of problems) or possible fiddle with something administratively on the exchange server.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I'm sending and receiving just fine through Exchange. The mail even shows up on my outbox on my desktop.
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
Just an update. It was an administrative thing on our exchange server that allowed receiving to work but not sending. All working now!

I like some of the options from Window Mobile better - like selecting what folders to synch and scheduling options for downloading (don't download work email at night), but this'll do I think.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
I have a htc hero at the mo and wondering if the specs are really worth the upgrade, I know it's much faster etc. But what else will htc be releasing?

Thanks ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] wdfowty:
Definitely worth it from a Hero. I'm waiting on the new dual-core 1.2-1.5 gHz procs that are coming soon (December-ish). It's really all up to you, jump on it, or hold your poker face for just a while longer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
Didn't know the Daul-Cores were coming this year :) Thing is i was guna get the sgs but waited so then this is the next phone id consider but now it looks like il wait for the daul snaps :p ;) Anyidea when the tegra 2 comes out ? ;)

Thanks :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] StuRoid:
I must say that all this Tegra 2 stuff is way over hyped. I'm not impressed at all by any of the products that have been shown so far using the Tegra 2. Either the chip is just poo or the manufacturers that have used it have paired it with a rubbish screen and not optimised any where near to where it should be.

I hope if HTC or Moto pick this up they will make something stellar
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
Oh I havent seen anything other than the announcment of it so far ;) I was hoping it being NDIVA it wil have the most awesome visuals ready for gingerbread :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] waiting89:
I would just recommend you to get it, I have it for 2 days and is sooo nice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kholk:
If you don't care about HW keyboard you can get a Desire HD, bigger screen, otherwise Desire Z.

IMHO, it's worth it in both cases.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
SOLVED it myself - read below:

The super quick version:

During an attempted downgrade from 02 2.1 6941 (it was buggy as hell) back to ATT 1.6, I tried a method someone posted involving clockwork 1.8.1.7. Unfortunately, clockwork can only burn .zip clockwork formatted roms (you cannot simply rename a pkg a zip). All attempts to switch back to any other recovery program simply resulted in a black screen after selecting update - many recovery roms were tried. So I was stuck with no way to even try to burn a regular pkg rom and a broken clockwork (1.8.1.7 "works" but with errors).

TLDR: Black screen after "press camera button to update" on all recoveries except clockwork 1.8.1.7 on 02 1.6 4399.

Solution:

Installed clockwork formatted rooted 4399

Installed older recovery rom I found

I can provide links to these later. I don't have them on me at the moment.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
If anyone has any idea how to solve FOTA name mismatch, or even wtf it means, let me know.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
WOuld be great if u could tell the forum what u did

You may not be alone
[Streak 5 Android Development] homeiss:
The Streak community seems to be pretty small at this time. Until we have a bigger user base we are all kind of breaking new ground. People might not have had the same experiences as others, such as yourself, so maybe you could share your story and help someone in the future.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
I was busy raging at the time.

I am *still* stuck on o2's OS (but 1.6 which works fine instead of the seriously bugged 2.1, which worked "ok" at first and got so buggy that it wouldn't allow me to answer incoming calls) but at least my recovery is no longer broken.

I can't swap back to ATT though due to a "FOTA name mismatch", whatever the hell that is.

The black screen recovery error seems to be caused by the ROM itself. Certain recoveries simply do not work on certain builds. It seems as though pretty much all of them failed with the build I had. However, I found an older recovery (smaller than the rest at 2.7mb) and used that along with a rooted ZIP format (clockwork) version of 4399.

It was really just about finding the right files and the right combination.

I hope I can upgrade to the ATT froyo when it gets here without issue. For now, I am staying with what works.
[Streak 5 Android Development] crash6:
Download the attached recovery, flash it and you should be able to update any official rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
**I looked through my recovery roms and I had already tried THAT EXACT ROM, so perhaps stop making assumptions, eh?**

The only recovery that worked was the 2.7mb one. I tried many others. They all resulted in a blank/black screen after selection.
[Streak 5 Android Development] r00tcause:
The files I used to fix the issue are linked below.

The first is a zip/clockwork version of O2's 4399 build which clockwork can burn. The second is the stock 4399 recovery (2.7mb).

4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed-clockwork.zip - 80.1 Mb

recovery.stock4399.img - 2.7 Mb

*This fixed the black screen on all recovery roms except clockwork 1.8.1.7 issue. It won't do a thing for FOTA mismatch.

iPhone users have a program called my3g which tricks the phone into thinking you're on wifi when you're really on 3g so you can watch full episodes on tv.com, etc.

Does the droid have anything like this?
[Droid X General] rajah:
For some reason when I asked this question I got a very unsatisfactory reply. I don't think my fellow Android users like playing second fiddle to the iPhone hacker community. My3G was awesome for me when I had my iPhone. Now I have all sorts of problems with certain apps wanting me to be on wifi only with my EVO. It pisses me off and I have not found a work around yet. Let me know if you discovered anything please.

if you search for "bezeq" in the market you will finde the app.

I take it there has still been no solution found to this problem? I want to trick my phone to think it's on wifi in order for itv player to work.
[Droid X General] eakeller:
I would really like to see my3g (or something like it) for Android. It was very useful on iOS and now that I use Android full time it is one thing I miss. I assume the reason something like this is not as popular on Android yet is in the past it has not been as necessary or useful as it is on a jailbroken iPhone.

Personally, I would pay good money for an Android app to provide this option.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bil4l:
Hey guys,

I was running CM6, but was having some problems, so I downloaded the rooted, superuser FGR22d from Rom Manager and chose to install superuser permissions (of course). Well now nothing seems to have root access when I am using the phone, and when I go to superuser, it just has a black screen.

Additionally, my recovery won't boot manually (holding x and powering the phone on).

My phone has been acting up and I need to take it back to verizon, but I do not want superuser on there, because of the warranty issues, and everything I've read says that I need root access to actually remove it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markpud:
Hi,

My friend has a Desire with the stock 2.1 ROM but he received the o2 Froyo update and installing this has apparently bricked the phone.. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do except send it to o2 to fix?!?

Have been looking at options to recover the phone, reading about rooting and all these things, but they all seem to require usb detection (which the PC won't detect anything now) or activation of "debugging mode" from the OS, which we can't..

Can access the bootloader screen and not much else. the recover option there doesn't fix anything....

Are there any options other than sending the phone off to o2?? :)

Until someone disassembles the phone and looks at the power amps, there will not be a clear answer. However, I think the FCC documents are pretty conclusive. I think you should just play it safe and get a Desire Z. That is sure to have 900/2100 UMTS radio.
