I am occasionally having the same problem. I am using shadySMS so I thought it was related to that program. Are you using the stock messaging app?
[EVO 4G General] SamXp:
No, I prefer Handcent but the stock messaging app does the same thing
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:
The other thing that happens is that I wont get any texts for a while. And then all of sudden I will get multiple texts all at once. It's almost like the phone is not polling or connecting or whatever and then it connects and downloads everything. I wonder if this is related.
[EVO 4G General] SamXp:
I don't think I'm having that problem. Texts seems to come in real-time. So maybe that is unrelated. Never know, though.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
probably just spotty service during the Holidays.

I'm with Cricket (piggybacks off Sprint) in Raleigh and have been having some wonky SMS behavior as well.
[EVO 4G General] SamXp:
I'm not sure how spotty service would cause texts to come in, in small batches. And a strong coincidence it began when I switched from a HTC Hero to HTC Evo
[EVO 4G General] SamXp:
XDA, I am disappoint!

No one has heard of this problem?
[EVO 4G General] SamXp:
Ok so now I'm not even getting text messages >160chars. I called sprint and they had me turn off the phone for 3 mins while they reset something on their end and still - I only get short texts.

I read somewhere that the 0004 hardware phones have a different camera in them that does not work with some roms. I am looking into rooting soon, possibly today if I can get it to work, if not I will wait for unrevoked's update, I am just wondering what roms work with the camera or at least have a fix.

I really don't need or use sense, but that was when I was on the hero and sense bogged down the phone greatly. I just want a fast performing rom that has themes available and tweaks available.

Thanks for your help!!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leenypost:
It is not the ROM that causes the problem. You can use any Rom you want to but if you want the camera to work you can not use custom kernals. The only ones I know for sure that support the new camera are HYC #15 and #17

15 is actually the newer kernal released with the 3.70 OTA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Las_Vegas:
This applies to later model 003 phones like mine also. It's a real bummer. I'd love to use one of the battery saving kernels, but my camera won't work with any of them. I wish someone would put the mods in the newest #15 kernel...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elosogrande7076:
I say try different kernels and see what works for your Evo. Make sure u do a nand backup first. I personally have an 004 Evo and i have tried various roms and kernels and i havent had an issue yet (besides an occasional reboots) but my camera/camcorder works great....i have used ava v10, myn's 2.2 rsl4 and currently culkins....i have used ziggys, and net's various kernels with no issue either
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Las_Vegas:
The ROM's not the problem. I can run any ROM, as long as I replace the kernel with #15 or #17. So far none of the newer modified kernels will work with my camera.
[Nexus S General] plmiller0905:
This is my first phone with T-Mobile and I discovered that the when I'm indoors anywhere, my signal drops down to 1 bar and to no bars at time. Eespecially when I go into my basement, I get no service at all. But when I go outside I get about 3-4 bars.

Do anyone know of any ideas on how to get better signal when indoors, signal boosters etc?

Have anyone used any type of signal boosters and if so which one and did they solve your issue?
[Nexus S General] CraigP17:
That's T-Mobile. I get the service for free otherwise id never use it.
[Nexus S General] plmiller0905:
I was going to get rid of it but I like the phone itself a lil too much :D. I'm going to call them up to see if they recommend something.

I have an Evo too and my wife has a Optimus with Sprint. I know one time I called Sprint to complain about a problem on my line, they sent me this device..that's similar to that of a router and makes you have a better signal at home. They even waived the monthly price for it. I really didn't need it because my signal was great already...so I sent it back.

But I'm wondering if t-mobile has a similar device.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Nothing you can do because t-mobile's 3g frequencies have poor building penetration compared to lower bands such as ATT 850mHz 3g. A repeater or micro cell is the only option, and I'm not sure t-mobile has those. Verizon and ATT sell them I know.
[Nexus S General] plmiller0905:
Oh ok...thanks for helping me out.

So does T-mobile have poor building penetration everywhere or is it a very isolated problem.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Tmobile is coming out with repeater router thingies in 3g/4g flavors soon :)
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You can get a multi-band repeater that will at least less voice calls come inside (GSM bands), and EDGE data will come as well on those, but I've only seen one current option that supports T-Mobile's 1700/2100 AWS service, and it isn't cheap ($450).

I purchased one for about $250 with voice support only (on T-Mo), just go to Amazon and search on cellular repeater, you'll see plenty of options.

Since where ever you are that you would be able to install one of these you most likely have WiFi for data anyways, not sure it's worth a premium to get the AWS service, unless you're using the phone to replace cable/dsl data lines.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Well their entire 3g network uses frequencies with poor building penetration. But I'm sure some areas they build towers close enough together to reduce this problem. But we know how hard it is getting towers up as it is.

A rough estimate shows that twice as many towers are needed to match the same performance of a lower band frequency. Example 1900 could need twice the amount of towers to provide the same coverage as 850mHz. Makes it difficult for carriers like t-mobile, who use high bands 1700/2100, to provide good indoor coverage without repeaters everywhere.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Hi everyone.

I'm pretty new to android, but I'm quite good at following instructions. Basically I've tried doing a nandroid backup with ROM Manager and everytime it reboots to make a backup it goes to a black screen with a phone in the middle of the screen with a red warning sign next to it. I've always tried booting into recovery and I get the same result. I first found this out while trying to follow the instructions for replacing the status and battery icons. Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm using ROM Manager v3.0.0.1 on a stock HTC MySense ROM from TMO running Android v2.2.1.

Thanks in advance for anyone that knows what I'm apparently doing wrong.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
when you opened ROM Manager did you select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"? if not try that, it's the only time mine has what your's is doing. I got a little excited to flash Iced-Glacier when I first got the phone and accidentally skipped that step and had same issue
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Yeah I first clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it currently says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2. I just redid the flash and tried to boot into recovery mode and I'm still getting that error picture upon reboot.

Is there a setting on the phone somewhere that would cause this?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] joseph230:
I am not positive 100% but I think I know what you mean; and I had it once due to very low battery charge. See if it is the problem or not.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] QMAN101:
The phone with the triangle is the stock recovery image. Others have had to try flash the ClockworkMod Recovery several times. You may need to as well.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nvmehaterz:
this is what i did, not sure if your doing the same thing or not. i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, MY4G came up and i clicked that and then clicked on backup current rom.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Alright so I've tried it with a full battery and I had the same result. I also tried reflashing several times with the current version and rebooting. I even tried to load some of the older versions of clockwork through ROM Manager and everytime I tried it spits out an error. I don't understand how I could be having such a hard time with something everyone seems to be able to do effortlessly.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] krypto16:
R u sure u r rooted with S-off? If u r then u may have to flash recovery from ADB. Some people have not been able to get recovery to stick through ROM manager. There is a thread in the development section that explains how to do this.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Really? I have not heard that...I'll have to check up on that. It seems that this problem would be more common, but I guess not as I have had little luck in finding information on my own about this problem.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Just in case anyone is following this thread with the same problem as me, this is the post that the previous poster was referring to:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
UPDATE:

Ok I figured out what was wrong. Apparently although I had root access on my phone and able to run things like Titanium Pro and Adfree and others with root privileges it wasn't good enough.

I followed the instructions here on how to permaroot your phone by pushing gfree to it. Once I did that I attempted to manually flash clockworkmod, which I ended up running into other issues. On a lark I tried installing clockworkmod through ROM Manager after permarooting and it finally installed it properly!

I love doing stuff like this, thanks to everyone for their input as it guided me to finally solving this. I'm off to do a nandroid backup now. :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vw671:
I have NEVER been able to flash Recovery with ROM manager. It says it does it but corrupts if everytime! Note: There has been some recent updates to ROM Manager and I haven't tried lately.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
IIRC the security protocol doesn't have to be off to flash clockwork ROM you do have to be rooted, VISONary.apk of course. I've turned my S=on just to make sure and it [clockworkROM] works pretty flawlessly.

Hey hey, it's great to see infraled out here! :) I am rooted/S=Off via the first VISIONary thread that was posted...

I installed Clockwork, flashed Clockwork Recovery and was expecting to have to do it twice, as outlined in this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858021

It only took one shot for me and it worked perfectly. The very first try, I powered off, powered on w/ vol down, went into Recovery and wham, there was Clockwork in its green glory. I figured I was just lucky and that once I rebooted, it would be lost and I'd have to flash again. Not so. Did a backup right away, worked flawlessly.

Looking forward to Iced Glacier, eVil and Cyanogen over the holiday break...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
Cyanogen Gets my vote... But i've always loved T/DB's ROMS.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
Recently rooted My new MyTouch 4G, downloaded the paid version of rom manager. I didn't understand why there are none of the current roms like the iced glacier, roms made by evil and several others listed as possible roms for flashing. The only roms are the cyanogenmod nightly builds. The cyanogenmod 6.1.2 RC2 isn't listed either. Do I need to do anything to get those listed or is that just the way it is???

Thank you,

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggaetonero:
Hello am a real android noob. i have read a few threads on here but i still need a little help.

am on stock htc rom but want to improve battery life without moving away from stock too much if at all.

my question is would i be better using set cpu on its own or with a custom rom?

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
you can use set cpu but you would need to root but the only thing set cpu can do is change the cpu speed lowering the cpu speed would save battery but could cause lag.

Custom ROM are removed of bloatware and have better battery life i have noticed this myself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Using an undervolted kernel at stock speed should improve battery life but again requires root
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bestevaer:
But how do you install a custom rom, or for example buzz 1.06 kernel?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
You have to root then istall Clockwork Mod Recovery

Download the ROM must be .zip file place it at the root of you sd

Then boot into recovery choose the option which says install zip from SD and then find the zip and install

same goes for the kernel e.g instead of ROM zip you place the Kernel zip in root of sd
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
Yes i know but you need to root and S-OFF to flash anything i think.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Yes you do, but you require root to use setcpu also
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggaetonero:
Ok guys thanks, I think I use set CPU and see how it goes.

And wait for a gingerbread Rom to come out.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
He's talking about the row of recently used apps in the pull-down notification bar. This is a 'feature' of the new version of Sense - the only way to get rid of it would be for the ROM devs to remove it.

I'm sure you could tinker with something like the framework or something to disable it, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it. There's no easy way to do it, basically.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Oh, yeah, I have those too, dont really seem to bother me though, not a task killer just a link to recently used apps like you said.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
CWM is an update.zip file on your sdcard (assuming your not using a kernel with it baked in). What happens when you hit reinstall packages, is that it takes the CWM update.zip and flashes it, replacing 2e with CWM. If you don't have that update.zip on your sdcard, then you won't be able to get to CWM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
Yea, have you ever been in rom manager and had to "Flash Clockwork Recovery." Well thats what it is doing. Its putting CWM recovery as an update.zip on your sd. You should be good to go once you do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1pn3ss:
I had the same thing happen to me. I will list what I did step by step as best as I can remember not because all of it is necessarily relevant, just for a frame of reference:

i. Odin 1 clicked to stock

ii. one click root

iii. installed CWM from market

1. Opened CWM, selected install rom from SD card, did not check backup rom or wipe data.

2. Phone rebooted into stock recovery screen, selected reinstall packages, rebooted phone.

3. Repeated step 1 and 2 about 10 times with nothing happening. (Normally, the second time I go through this process, it installs the rom)

4. I tried selecting "Reboot into Recovery" (the manual option) but still nothing happened, it was taking me to the 2e stock recovery.

5. I went back into CWM and selected "All CWM Recoveries" and flashed the older version 2.5.1.1

5. Selected "Reboot into Recovery" again and the CWM recovery window came up and I was able to manually select my ROM from there.
