Voicemail Issue Continues

Firstly, this is in no way negative commentary about the developer or testers.

I still cannot get the voicemail notification to work properly. I installed from 3.2 to 3.3 per all instructions and without apparent issue.

I first installed numerous apps out of midnight folder. Everything was perfect except I never could get any notification of new voicemail. Under voicemail settings, I have the following which does not terminate: "Please wait, verifying voicemail-to-Text account information, this may take a minute". I don't know if this is connected to notification problem or not?

Possible resolution attempts:

I tried to kill data and force close voicemail app but did not change anything.

I wiped then installed 3.3 again but this time installed the "standard edition" update, did not change anything regarding voicemail notification.

I then wiped again then installed 3.2 but the problem still persist. I wonder if the ROM just backed up the issue?

As an aside, of the midnight ROM's I have installed, 3.3 is very quick but is killing my battery compared to my typical use. Just my experience and observation.

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks to the developer for his passions!

Ken in Fort Worth.

I'll look into it ASAP. Thx for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dewey1973:
I re-flashed the Sprint Voicemail and the Stock MMS to see if it would fix my voicemail issue. I tested it by calling myself and didn't get a notification immediately. Now that I look at my phone (2 hours later) I do indeed have a voicemail notification. I don't know when in that 2 hours it arrived but I'll try another test and pay more attention.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dewey1973:
This time I got a notification in about 3 minutes. I guess re-flashing fixed the issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Very. But now that Medic is on the case, I'm sure we'll have a fix ASAP
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheWacco:
For some odd reason when I try to go to about phone in settings it FC every time. I've tried reflashing and the problem persist.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannieboiz:
so I got things working on my phone with 3.3 but one thing I miss is the battery percent indicator on the default battery. Now it's just showing bars, how do I get the percent back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
You need to install the Google apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
Install the midnight theme for 3.1 I believe. It's the percent circle.

Voicemail issue update

OK, just to rule out 'flash after flash' issues...I decided to ODIN back to DI18 and start from fresh. Updated to DK28 then Rooted then flashed 3.3 then flashed standard package from midnight folder.

I am still getting errors:

When voicemail tries to verify account, it gives me a "Account verification error"

"Error T44: Communication with the voicemail-to-text server has failed. ...."

Still no notification for voicemails and still have "please wait, trying to verify voicemail-to-text account" under voicemail steetings.

This is most likely related to voicemail problem.

Ken
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
There you are. I was looking for this post. I'm looking into this. Let me tell you how much I HATE TW. Every apps has it's fingers in another one. I think this has to do with the MMS.apk... It seem to have been fix for some by flashing the stock mms. The downside to that is it also appears that the mms.apk is linked to the random reboots.

I have personally not experienced a reboot and I can't reproduce the issue. I am going to dig out a working copy of the MMS.apk and update you guys when I get it. I'm actually going to look at one of the official 2.2 releases from other Galaxy S phones for a working file.

Thanks for your patience. If someone else can confirm the fix then I update with the fix found to be working. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nFKT:
I've got most of my issues fixed:

wipe 3x

install gapps for about phone to not fc

install default browser

install stock MMS or you will not have your received messages in your message log

Market now fcs upon app install... but at least I've got messaging... woo!

Voicemail issue update #2

Hello again,

After trying many times to resolve voicemail notification problem, I punted...so to speak.

I ODIN'ed back to DI18, DK28, Rooted, 3.2.

Everything is back to normal.

Good luck,

Ken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jersap:
I wiped 3x - then also fixed permissions then wiped another 3x then flashed rom, reboot into rom then reboot recovery then installed things I wanted individually.

I love the byor - it's a great way to involve users in the process of customizing their phone.

I also only flashed the gosms when I found it didn't log any of my received sms's etc... I read that gosms actually requires stock sms to run off of. I uninstalled gosms completely then just flashed stock which works perfectly and smoothly.

The first time I tried this byor, I installed live wall papers I think I did the install backwards for them which caused many force closes of all aps. So I re-wiped and fixed permissions and wiped and flashed rom... didn't bother with live wall paper's. I'm now using the midnight stock lock circle bat - it looks better then any live wp did any way!

Not sure if there's anything to this fix permissions bit before flashing the rom but I'm running 3.3 custom byor and it's great.

Quadrent score - 2123 - In airplane mode, with wifi on - after clearing facebook widget cashe and closing all progams and clearing ram.

So fast - great work thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
"no service"

Unit keeps flipping in and out of Airplane mode after flashing.

Pull down the "tray", and it shows "(No Service)" alternating with "Searcing for Service" every half second.

Any ideas?

EDIT01=

firmware version 2.2.1

baseband version s:d700.0.5s.di18

kernel version 2.6.32.9

build number midNIGHT ROMv3.3

hardware version d700.0.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Well I'm at 100% now. Voicemails coming through, but still getting that error when the phone tries to activate voicemail-to-text. My (tentative) recommendation is Clockwork stock mms, then voicemail, then my tried and trusty version of stock mms and reboot. Everything seems 100% now, no reboots, no FC's, good GPS, SMS and MMS working flawlessly with Handcent, and Voicemail notifications. ROM has been speedy (official Quadrant score: "Damn that's fast") and I'm pushing 13 hours on this first battery charge. I think I can sit on this lil' slice of perfection until Medic releases his Gingerbread incarnation (MidNIGHT Snack?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpj526:
Wow... 3.3 runs GREAT!! I just have a quick question, I now have the Daily Briefing app, which I LOVE...however, I thought there was a Widget that goes along with it. :confused: I have the app installed and it runs great, but I'd like to to have the Widget that goes along with it but when I try to add it, there isn't a widget associated with it in my list.

Any pointers on how to get it, or where to find the daily briefing widget??

Thanks guys!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
You probably should update the modem to dk28 thru odin, you might be having connection issues cause you are using a rom based on dk28 and not di18
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
Yeah, I was thinking about that.

...but I'm such a noob, so much to learn.

Trying to figure out how to update to dk28.

Following the guide at briefmobile com how-to-update-sprint-epic-4g-to-android-2-2

but the tar file is coming down as ".tar.md5" and ODIN declares it's a bad checksum.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Either download the 8g file our take the 8gb file and delete ".md5".

If you head to the wiki link in my sig, you'll find some good guides if you need a second opinion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
Yeah follow what meatloaf wrote here or also go to the stickies on the forum and look for the links to odin the d28 or check noobln's posts for the answers
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Im getting a lot of reboots today. Most noticably after sending out a text through handcent. I started using the stock mms and wasn't getting them anymore but ill keep an eye out today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
ok. i have everything set up but i get a fc whenever i try to open settings -> about phone. that's my only flop i've noticed. i'm liking the changes i'm seeing though. looks good.

i have installed google apps, stock mms, stock browser, swype, and aosp. anyone else have this problem?

edit* i installed some more apps via midnight extras folder. i'm not sure what i did, but the fc seems to have been resolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
Got another copy of the tar... which always seems to be a 239mb file.

Went to the link.

Following the directions in that wiki.

ODIN immediately gives me "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)" when I hit the "Start" button and the phone stays in Download mode.

I take it something was supposed to happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
start odin before you usb connect then put tar in pda slot then hit start, you should see a blue "loading bar" on epic and phone will reset when its finished.

Random Restart & Swype Force Close (Solved?)

Since I’m one of the users of this rom that has been hit hard by the random restarts, I decided to play around and see if I could figure what’s causing them.

Well, I think I have it. As most of you have noticed, this happens primarily when using SMS/MMS. From the testing I have done, this looks to be caused by having 2 mms clients installed through recovery (zip method). So, if you install 1 mms client, and you decide you want to try something else, you need to uninstall the one you have previously installed (note that the stock mms that is in the midnight rom folder, the themed version included in the ACS themes, the 5mb MMS on XDA, and the bubble MMS on XDA cannot be removed once installed). You can install MMS apps on top of the stock installed app if you just install the apk through whatever apk installer you use (i.e. Astro), or you can use market apps. As far as people using ACS themes (Emotionless Beast & Mysterious Beast are the only 2 I’ve tried), what you need to do is remove the mms.apk from the system/apps folder in the zip.

Edit: You must have a version of the stock mms app installed or you will not get notifications!!! Only remove the mms.apk from the theme if you want to use a different version of it such as these here

Here is how you fix the Swype force close issue. (for the people using EB, and other maybe some other ACS themes) To use the new version of Swype, which is included in the midnight extras folder, you need to remove the swype.apk from the system/apps folder in the theme’s zip before you install it, then you can boot into recovery and install Swype from the extras folder. (This might have been covered earlier, but I thought I’d add it anyway)

I am unable to get Swype to work. Other then that I wasn't able to restore anything. Perhaps I need to figure that part out. Not a huge lost. I can always restart Angry Birds and other games. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
Is it a force close issue? Can you use the gingerbread keyboard? What theme are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Swype is already in midNight ROM v3.3 the Standard Update.zip file.

Should be in your midNight extras folder

boot to recovery, install zip from sd card, choose zip, navigate to extras folder, find update zip

for me, that zip doesn't display in my extras folder most zips are there but a few don't display (swype (NEW).zip doesn't show either)

so what I did was open the ROM zip on my PC, double clicked sdcard, then the extras folder. found midNight ROM v3.3 standard update.zip and copied it to my desktop

connected my phone, went to mass storage, and copy that zip to the sdcard.

THEN booted to recover and applied that zip.

hope that helps

[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Could you could try to list them? It would help us problem solve.

I think you also need to add the .pit file, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nolonolon:
Sorry I wasn't very clear. I actually did go to the Swype zip installed and then booted back up and was unable to use Swype. However in applications it showed that it was installed. So I uninstall-ed it and now.... still not showing Swype as input method. Though it is showing that it has been installed. Also GPS seems to be exact. Compared to the way it was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
I was able to replicate your problem, now to figure out how to fix it.

Edit: Make sure the swype box is checked under settings/locale & text. Then restart your phone. You should then be able to select swype as an input method.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
i don't remember. however, i think this will work. after flashing the rom, to make things simple for those that don't care how many apps they have, just unzip the standard midnight rom zip file. after that, install new swype, google apps, stock mms, gingerbread kb (just in case swype is having problems, you'll have another keyboard to choose from). that's pretty much it. like i said, i did so much tinkering around, that i don't remember what i did. everything seems resolved though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
I agree that I thought this was the issue at first too, but I've only got the stock MMS installed and still having random reboot issues. Maybe it's a DK28 or a Kernel Problem. Hopefully it's something that will stop when the official Froyo is released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
btw, has anyone had any luck with this file from the lostandtired site?

[THEME] Gingerbread [CM6.1.1] (edify)

i get stuck on the boot animation. it's the only zip file that i've noticed to be giving me problems. anyone know where i can get a gingerbread theme? maybe even a blue gingerbread theme? thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
I agree that there is more to it than just that, but from my tests so far my suggestions should at least greatly reduce the number of restarts. Plus I can see a correlation with the themes and apps installed with the restarts. I have some more testing that I'm going to run tonight as well. I'm pretty determined to get this figured out.

Thank you so much gismo4 !

I needed THAT pit file from the link you put (s1_odin_20100512.pit). The "victory_8G_100528.pit" didn't work.

Also, I needed to NOT plug in the phone to the PC before opening ODIN. This was another good point you made!

DK28 now successfully installed via ODIN.

Phone and Web test successfully.

Now to reattempt the midNIGHT install...
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
Hmm.

Followed all that along.

But when it rebooted from installing the first midNIGHT zip, the phone acted really weird. Kept making vibrations, like a beep code on a PC. Kept asking me which of three launchers I wanted to use, and the Media Scanner kept coming up. Popped the battery, since I couldn't convince the unit to power off.

Then the unit kept showing "android" vertically along the center of the screen, like a loading/busy symbol of some sort. Eventually it spit out that the UUIDs didn't match. Flipped into CWM, cleared data and cache x3 each. Rebooted, system still acting weird.

Flipped into CWM, loaded the midNIGHT extras mega zip. ...not really any change.

So... I blew everything out with ODIN, back to dk28. Doing CWM install now.

What is it that I'm missing between the CWM install and the first install for midNIGHT?
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
dk28 installed via ODIN.

CWM 3 installed.

cleared data/cache x3 each.

Hit the midNIGHT 3.3 install zip.

Unit reboots like normal.

"android" shows vertically across the "Galaxy S" loading screen.

Every time the unit shuts off the screen, the entire device powers down.

Every time I unlock the screen, it asks me whether to use "Launcher", "LauncherPro", or "TwLauncher". TwLauncher and LauncherPro give the same vibration code as last time, "buzz, buzz buzz". Then kicks me back to the launcher selection screen and the Media Scanner runs again, same with trying to use the menu softkey on the Launcher.

Ouch. What's going on?

...in fact, none of the physical buttons are working. "buzz, buzz buzz" and it either does nothing or locks the screen, then I have to choose between the three launcher apps.

Woops, nevermind, don't think I upgraded the radio, doing that now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
i had this error too. i re-unzipped the midnight 3.3 rom and it worked. it was really weird. if it persists, try getting another copy of the rom from a different upload site.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gismo4:
ah. the learning continues...

i must have overlooked that link when browsing. thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saber0091:
Nope!

I'll go download another copy right away though!

EIDT:

...yep. That seems to have been the crux of the problem. Grabbed a new copy off the Megaupload mirror, and everything seems to be working okay so far. I saw an odd popup that mentioned error 508 and voicemail, so I should probably check that.

You know, it just struck me that it might be useful to generate md5 checksums for each midNIGHT release. Make it easier to avoid this particular sort of issue. heh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nolonolon:
Hahaha.Thanks I never noticed that. Didn't even check. I like this Swype layout. I was using Ginger. It's nice. I've just gotten so used to Swype thankfully it's no longer sluggish. Some days I want my laptop keyboard to become virtual. Thanks again. Much appreciated. -Nolon

Replicating the reboots

So here is what i found on my phone about the Random reboots.

This happens when the phone is on silent mode and you receive a text message.

Only happens with midnight ROM 3.3

can anyone verify?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
No it doesn't. It is a different version of swype than I was using in 2.9, perhaps that has something to do with it.

I have VLingo on my screen. So I just tap that when I want to do something.

No reboot after text on silent

I just did set my phone on silent and sent a text to it via www.sprint.com and my daughter sent one, the text popped up just fine. I am using handcent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] h8uman:
oh forgot to mention.

The phone is also locked when i get the message.

If it still works for you then i need to reflash
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
sooo i just figured out something... i was wondering why my battery life was so... uh terrible.

turns out, if you disable the sns service thats running it makes something mess up and you will constantly be using data.

sooo when i turn my phone on i toggle the airplane mode and then kill the drm program and im good. battery life almost doubles.

anyone know what the "fix permissions" does in clockwork?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scienceguy:
I'm a bit of a noob so I've always used the "standard" edition. Got brave and reflashed, used BYOR to set up the phone. Very easy and even noticed a slight speed improvement. Love the ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Hey guys. Just read over at Android Central that the official Froyo 2.2 (EB 13) issue gonna start rolling out on Monday the 21st. It's gonna be OTA and will hit everyone over a 4 day stretch.

How does this affect us that are on DK28?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I retried to be sure the phone was locked.

I sent the text and handcent popped up perfectly over the lock screen.

One thing I do when I flash, is to be sure to download my apps again and set them up. It takes more time but I've found a lot less issues than trying to restore apps and their data.

Good luck with your reflash 3.3 is sooooooo nice. Glad I made the jump from 2.9

[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Thanks for the tip. Do you kill the drm or sns service?

I used fix permissions once when i was trying to calibrate my battery. After I wiped my battery stats, it put my phone in a bootloop. So i went into cwm and fixed permissions and it loaded up fine.

EB13 will make DK28 obsolete. We will eventually see new customs roms based off EB13. and then GINGERBREAD!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Yeah that goes without saying. I meant it more like, will the OTA get pushed to us that are on DK28 already or will we have to ODIN back to DK18 (or whatever it was) to receive the update. I guess I can just wait til EB13 is out and install it manually if OTA doesn't work.
