I have a strange problem with my phone... in brief, sometimes when i get to make a call I get the notification above "The operation failed" before initiating the call. of course in this situation if somebody calls me, they will hear that my phone is ringing, but in fact it's not ringing on my side, and I can't know if somebody phoned me.

a soft reset solves the problem, and I can again make calls without problems... until my phone decides to go still without informing me... the only thing that makes me notice is when I get no calls for like 12 hours or more... I then check by calling somebody and get this "Operation failed" damned notification -sometimes only- (which means my phone doesn't go still after a regular period.

at the beginning of this year I asked a question on the Energy thread:

I don't see an icon change now, but the problem is more than an icon change anyway.

I tried the following, but the problem is still random (not regular):

flashing a stock ROM

flashing another Radio

trying another SIM of another provider

but the problem is still the same...

I recently tried removing the Security Unlock, and now the phone goes still sometimes, which means sometimes the call drops before initiating, but I don't get the "Operation failed" notification any more.

again, a soft reset solves the problem

I can't trust my phone now, especially is that I use it for my work and school... which means my colleagues will be angry with me if they call me but I don't answer.

I would really appreciate any help!

Device: HTC Touch Pro T7272

ROM: Energy sencity 21916 Dec.21

Radio: 1.14.25.35

Security Locked

PS I apologize if you think that this problem is not worth starting a new thread in this development forum.

The Operation Failed

I made a screen shot of this notification and I'm posting it here

Happy New Year to everybody
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
I feel your pain. I had a very similar problem with my Raphael (on TAEL ROM at time), only difference was anyone making incoming calls did not get ring tone they got phone off message from network. I would get same error message as your image if making call (sms worked sometimes but not always when calls would not)

My problem would occur once a day usually early hours of morning & once resolved once would probably be ok fro rest of day !

I could toggle radio off/on to fix it.

Tried different Settings SIMs, Networks, ROMs, Radios, HardSPL to no avail. I started using another phone for a few days & when I went back to the Raphael for a little playing around it was working 100% normally without issue & still is today (currently acting as modem for internet via GPRS).

Hope you have same luck as me as I found no answers here or googling !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] farres:
thank you very much for your input.

what I did is to set my calls to forward to my landline phone after 10 seconds of ringing, just to be notified of calls when my phone is in this strange mood... however, I still can't be notified when somebody pays me a missed call, which happens with me often from my family due to that I live abroad.

I understand this is not a common problem, but once it happens, it becomes a pain in the a§.

the guarantee is supposed to expire after 3 months, but I still don't know how to explain this problem to them, since it's not happening on a regular time line.

I hope I'm not going to have to send it for repairing, as I believe this is a problem that can be solved easily... I just need to be pointed in the right direction :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
Use another phone for 5 days with current SIM, reflash SPL,ROM, radio ROM, give it a break for the 5 days then load it up & see what happens !

If you seill get no joy get it in to service before it is too late.

take it in when it is playing up, push for a replacement rather than repair as short warranty would not give you fair chance to evaluate repair & most repairs shops would only flash ROM as first step unless fortunate enough to encounter issues during short test after ROM flash.

Good luck, mines still working fine at moment !

Hi to all of you good people I am a person like most of you and I am tired from all this s..t. I started using Android like 5 months ago and I had almost most of the phones Nexus One, Mytouch 4G, Samsung Captivate, Htc G2, Dell Streak, Galaxy Tab and so on... and now Samsung Vibrant. Thats in 5 months, dont you guys think this is s..t? We are trying to find the perfect phone that evrything works perfect from camera, FFCamera, Video codec support and all the things u already know plus software updates that all the time is a mess. I dont know I'm already tired from all this bull s..t man. What u guys think???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
I think if you feel that way you should go by an iPhone or a Blackberry :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferhanmm:
You had all those phones in 5 months? A different phone every 2.5 weeks? Sounds kind of ridiculous to me.. lol

No........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:
Are you really trying to win over a bunch of people to not only give up on the Vibrant in a Vibrant forum, but Android as a whole in a Vibrant forum? If you haven't found a ROM that does everything then stop flashing betas and experimentals. There's multiple ROMs with everything working, and unless you don't have a job or a life, some bugs that exist aren't even a big deal. You make it sound like every ROM is either missing texting or phone calls. Think about how much our phone has the ability to do and then imagine making a ROM and having to make sure EVERYTHING works, from a setting menu FC to a data connection.

Android has climbed to the leader in smartphone preference in the U.S., you're alone on this one bud. If you've had that many devices, and couldn't manage to have one operate in a stable manner, then you are most definitely doing something wrong. And why all those phones, like, a captivate and a vibrant? did you even understand that those are pretty much the same thing? different carriers? that could be a problem right there. It's posts like these that make it so hard not to verbally assault you with my keyboard.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
u might be right
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
Mytouch 4G - (Yellow tint on the screen, too much bloatware, sh.t speaker...)

Samsung vibrantand Captivate - (No software update??? no ffcamera, no camera flash, lag...)

Dell streak - (1.6??? and very bad quality plastics, speaker)

G2- (bad speaker, camera, hinge,...)

Galaxy tab - (bad cameras, apps don't fit the screen and its a questinon if u get the 2.3 or not???)

this is some of the examples

You bought and (I'm guessing) sold seven android devices in five months?? Sorry brother but I'm not buying that line of bull.

My guess is that you are an Apple fanboy that came over here to ruffle some feathers. You clearly have a lot of time on your hands.

BTW, all of the phones you list are very high-quality devices capable of performing at the highest level of what is available to smartphone consumers. I'd love to know how each phone failed to meet your exacting personal standard?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
Everything you list here is either A) subjective or B) a hardware/carrier issue. None of it is an indictment of Android as an operating system. One of the beauties of the Android OS is that it is available on many different phones (with varying hardware configurations) on many different carriers.

But I don't think you're really interested in all that.

A perfect device is and always will be an opinion. If you can't find happiness with any of these you have too much time on your hands. I'm on Nero w/ voodoo.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
My apologies. However you're original question has no definitive answer. Most of us are members of this site because we enjoy our phones and enjoy participating in a community with other people with similar interests. If you have been truly unhappy with all those different Android phones, then Android isn't for you. The phones you listed are currently the top of the line Android based devices. I suggest you take some of the good money you've been making since you were 13 and buy a Windows Mobile device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
I just ask a question and everyone started attacking.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
You came into a forum full of people that are very enthusiastic about android and mostly happy with their phones and basically told us that you think our phones all suck. What did you think would happen? As to your original question (Are you tired from all this Android mess?) I think it's been answered. Most of us are happy with the OS and our hardware. Once again if you aren't happy with yours, move on to something else. There are lots of other choices in the smartphone market.

stop calling him a apple fanboy, just because hes hating on our phones doesn't mean he LOVES another.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaellashawnbrown:
Not attacking, but maybe an android device is not the phone for you. Speaking to that point maybe you do not need a smartphone, you would think that with all of the devices you have had you could have made the correct decision based on your own personal needs. It seems as if you are a window shopper that wants what is not available.

Wow this thread is amazing

Just getting my vibrant coming from an hd2 I have to say I am in love. I love love love love love this thing with nero3/voodoo Its like i found my dream.

All things are subject to user preference. I think fragmentation matters more when you are simply dependant on the carrier or the maker. The female I bought my phone from simply had no real clue what she could do with the phone. So the fact that some devices are stuck on 1.6 just means they do not have any community support.

After all google said the g1 wouldnt ever do 2.2 . correct me if I am wrong on that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
When you find the perfect phone, let us know. It sounds like you have serious cellphone OCD issues. which, granted, most people on this forum do as well, but only to a point.

Youre taking it to a whole new level. there will never be a perfect phone, because if there was, there would be no need for any other phone.

there is nothing about the vibrant that makes it less perfect than any other phone, in fact i think it is superior to most. maybe not out of the box, but with a smart owner who applies good mods.

ok so my friend has a droid flashed to cricket with 2.1 cupcake, and he wants 2.2 froyo, can i just flash a rom with rom manager like i would regularly or do i have to do other things since hes on cricket?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jw4duke:
really no one can answer this??????????
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gbgsucks2:
There are a lot of tutorials out on how to setup a droid on cricket. You can use just about any rom. I have used smoked glass, cyanogenmod, and bugless beast and lfy all on cricket. My favorite is Liquid Frozen Yogurt but am anxiously awaiting a good gingerbread rom. After you install the rom the main things you will need to setup is Autostart and apn settings for internet and mms and this also depends on the current plan and current setup. The main idea is to redirect your data via wap.mycricket.com if you are using a non android plan. For details use the search feature there are a few awesome members here that have made great step by step tutorials. Here is one that you can adapt to your needs. Keep in mind that the prl and evdo settings are probably already done since you are already on cricket and won't change when you install a new rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708937

after you installed the rom of your choice you can probably just start from the connect to wifi and install autostart and go down from there. as always make a backup of your droid first so if you mess it up you can go back if needed
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jw4duke:
thanks man
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] firez_hn:
Hi, I did a bit of research on this issue (I have a milestone), it seemed to be quite widespread but a lot of sources says that this was fixed with the version that I've installed, which is not true in my case, because I still get micro-pauses every now an them, specially the first minutes after booting the phone, is anyone having this same issue with this version of android (btw I'm using the latin america movistar stock rom)?

PD: This also happens with other audio apps while using headphones
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
Hi All, well, mainly Steve...

Is there any way of baking settings toggles (wifi, bt, gps, vibrate, rotation) into the streak notification bar as it is in the Galaxy S series phones?

Cyanogen have successfully pulled it off with their rom, just curious to see if it can be done with the Streak.

Thanks,

Krisbo
[Streak 5 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Try cyanogen rom for streak. Its alpha at the moment but thats the best option
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
+1 to that request! I'd love to see the settings toggles in the notification bar.

The Cyanogen ROM for the Streak does have the it, but it's not exactly useable on an everyday basis still being in alpha. I've tried it already and can't live with the fact that it doesn't work in portrait mode! I use the Streak mostly in portrait mode. Will probably switch to it once it goes into beta/RC stage and all the major issues are sorted out.
[Streak 5 General] stalkachu:
I use the notification bar toggles from friedflow. Sure, you only get Auto-Rotate, Wifi and Bluetooth, but it's better than nothing. Looks pretty sleek, does the job nicely. ^_^

Check it out on the market.

Some guys also use Bar Tender or some of those things to put links to the quick settings app in the notification bar, but that's kind of inelegant and not really my thing. But it's a two-click solution if that suits?

Hope that helps!

Take care,

Oli

I want to switch to a 16gb sd card and i copied everything i have in my old one to the new but it never passes the logo screen. What are the steps necessary to do this successfully?
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I do not really have an answer to your question, but I did discover something cool about stock FroYo.

I had moved a bunch of apps to the SD card (via the official way) and was somewhat concerned about installing a larger SD card as I was unsure if my apps would copy over properly or more importantly be recognized as being present on the SD card at all.

I copied all DATA from my old SD card to my new SD card and booted up the device, at first none of my moved apps appeared to be installed, but after about 3 or 4 minuets all my previous installed apps populated in the launcher.

Color me impressed,

Im using a miui rom and i copied everything to the new sd and then when i turn on the phone i can see the miui logo but then it geys stuck there...
[Nexus One General] martinl1030:
i think its because some of miuis stock applications are installed onto the sd card. try making an ext partiton and then reflashing the same version of miui you have without wiping and it should boot up fine again without losing all your data
[Nexus One General] subvecto:
That should not be an issue unless you are using official stock OS or you have previously forced moving system apps to sd...
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
You keep saying you copied everything over. That's probably not true. Check to make sure all the hidden files were copied over too, and that any extra partitions have been created and copied over too.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
If you're using an ext partition, your pc probably won't see or copy it...
[Nexus One General] ronnyzilker:
Ok so how do i partion. can someone explain that to me. Thanks
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
You would've had to set up the ext partition yourself, so if you don't know how to do it, I'm guessing you don't have an ext partition...
[Nexus One General] ronnyzilker:
Yep i guess i dont.... well i'll find someone to do it for me
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
You partition you sd card in the recovery, there's an option for that.
[Nexus One General] subvecto:
Easiest way to partition an sd card with ext and fat flavors is via Linux... grab your favorite usb bootable linux (like ubuntu or mint) if you're not already made the switch, boot your notebook via usb, stick your sd card and partition as you like it...

I have a few aplications that are designed for other android devices, when I run them they dont fit the screen fully ie only fill 1/2 or 1/4 of the screen, is there any way to configure the device to run them in full screen or is there an application that will stretch the app to fit?

[Nook Color General] jve34:
I am using the Nook color wall charger, but left my cable at work. my nook was dead, i plugged in using a standard micro usb and the wall charger, it says wait 15 minutes, which makes me believe it is charging it. Let me go check...still says that. Do you think it will charge? I was able to transfer files with the micro usb cable to my SD card on the nook, but it wont charge it?
[Nook Color General] KryptoNyte39:
It may trickle charge on a non-OEM Nook Color cable (a standard micro-USB), so it would probably require charging overnight at the very least to get a near full charge once again, and certainly longer than 15 mins to get it back to usable from a low charge state.
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
Depends on the output of the charger, but youd likely be looking at anywhere from 4 to 8 gours for a full charge...
[Nook Color General] jve34:
i think i can confirm standard micro usb does not charge this thing, even with the nook wall charger. I had it plugged in from being dead for about an hour and it never came on. Thankfully i found the real charger and am back in business.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
It will trickle charge for me with the nook cable hooked up to my computer, but I thought this issue was already covered and others said it would charge with a regular usb cable (again on the computer not via the adapter). Is this not the case? I hate to think I'm reliant on the nook's usb cable and can't charge at a friends.
