Other people reported this issue on the Z here and here

It seems no solution or explanation was found for the moment.

So the best is to backup regularly your SMS until a fix is possibly released someday.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
Thanks for that missparker... At least it's not just me going crazy...

Now, I'm wondering whether it might be something to do with the htcsense.com website and the syncing?!

I used to be able to get the messages showing on htcsense when I first signed up for it. But then, I had to factory reset the phone. When connecting up to my sense account, I Had all sorts or problems. So, I deleted my sense account, signed up again. After this, they had disabled the messaging etc. But, when I went in to htcsense yesterday, it looked a bit funny (i.e. the locations was apparantly disabled, which I had after I first had problems with it). So my guessing is htc sense deleting all the messages as it synced?!

Also, I got a message when restarting phone saying something like background searching de-activated... Couldn't find this on google?!

Have now set sms backup & restore to do a daily backup... Had that before, but when I ran the latest update, it messed up, so had to run full ruu, and forgot to setup the schedule for backup and restore! More fool me :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] dicko99:
Not sure that it's got anything to do with htcsense.com.

When it happened on my DZ, I got an FC of the SMS app then when I restarted it all my messages were gone.

Maybe there's some sort of reinitialization that it does if it detects corruption in the messages?

Does anyone know where and in what format the messages are stored?

i want to unroot my phone. im gonna sell it to get the iphone on verizon i used the easyroot app that isnt on the market anymore.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Flash the Flashback21 ROM in this thread. I'd do the one without the radio if it were me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielahl137:
i just got that..do you know of any i can leave it rooted if someone wants it rooted but make it seem like a fresh root?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, the process that FlashBack21 goes through before it unroots insures that it can be re-rooted extremely easily - with any of the existing methods.

If you knew that a buyer was going to prefer a certain Rooted ROM - let's say for instance the ROM that you are already using - you could just perform a "Wipe data/factory reset" in Amon_RA, followed by a SD card wipe. That would "reset your rooted ROM". Or you could follow up FlashBack21 with a re-rooting by OneClick or Dummies - that leaves the main OS software on the phone untouched, but re-installs the Amon_RA custom recovery. Then the buyer can put whatever they want on the phone.

The only thing that will not do is de-activate your phone. But that is sort of irrelevant anyway, because if the buyer turned it on and dialed *228, it would just reactivate to your account anyway - you need to call Verizon when you hand over the phone and let them know you you don't want the phone associated with your account any longer.

If you are meeting the buyer, the logical place to make the transaction is right in the Verizon store - you can get the phone disassociated from your account, and the buyer can get it set up on his/her account right there. (If the buyer is smart, they will also first ask the VZW rep to check your ESN to make sure it is clean). That, and it's a safe place to conduct the transaction.

HTH
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielahl137:
well cool...i didnt know that id have to tell verizon i dont have so thats good to know ...thanks that was a big help
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
daniel,

It occurs to me that if a VZW rep is going to transfer the phone to a different account right there in the store, they will probably perform a factory reset on the handset right there on the spot to "unprogram" (deactivate) the phone, because that's the easiest way for them to get it ready for the next account. That won't work correctly with anything but the stock recovery on the phone.

Just use Flashback21 - rooting the phone is easy these days; let the new buyer do it.

I have run into a little problem I just cant figure out.

I am skinning the HTC lockscreen The lockscreen worked out ok.

But the Pin screen I just cant figure out where the problem lies.

You all see where the problem lies.

When I slide to unlock the screen looks ok, but when I click any number the screen goes like the second picture.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hall202m:
Hey Everyone,

After using Swype for a couple of months and unknowingly adding undesired "words" to the dictionary I have come to realize my Swype is cluttered with incorrectly spelled words such as "sleeeep" or "hiiii" which I manually entered. I am aware that through the swype button I can manually delete each of these after they pop-up as a suggestion, but this can be time consuming and seems to almost be an endless cycle.

I have two questions.

1. Is there a way to factory reset ONLY my swype dictionary? (ie. I would rather not do a complete reset of my phone)

2. Is there a way of preventing the phone from saving any word not previously identified by Samsung for the original dictionary? (Manually typing a few key words every couple texts is a minor inconvience in comparison to having to delete every word that I unknowingly saved to my phone one-by-one)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpong01:

Ok so I am coming from an incredible and there are a few roms out there that even though they are sense based seem way faster then any rom on the evo. Anybody know the reason for this and also what is the fastest rom to date that is 100% working such as 4g and hdmi work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
Most roms that run sense will be damn fast but so will cyanogen mod because its so well made. Kernels make a world of difference on each phone so try a rom you like then flash some different kernels. As always, make NAND backups often, and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745205

Thats a nice rom and can be killer fast with some good kernels.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seagrizzly:
Does 4g work with this rom, and where would you suggest I start with Kernels, I see that rom has an undervolt option as well so I assume that would be taken away if I flashed a kernel on top of it or am I wrong because its a script? I can research that for sure but if you have a quick answer then I was hoping you could share it with me or let me know of a kernel that works well for you.

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Try MikFroyo 4.3...fastest Sense rom I have ever used (possibly the fastest rom ever for EVO). Also, everything is fully functional.

Test it with the kernel that comes packaged (HTC #15) and if you don't like it, then can try some other kernels.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
Yea I just like the idea of running Calkulin's roms because he know so much about these phones. I'm convinced that he has some secret in his rom. But yes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883026 is a brilliantly fast rom. I can't say much for kernels because I haven't changed any yet but he has optimized just about the entire system to make for a really fast rom. I can see this rom with a good kernel putting down a really nice benchmark. I am running stock kernel and it is running a slightly faster benchmark than a stock evo. Here's my benchmark running this rom posted above.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diplomat2387:
I was thinking the same thing...I've flashed Fresh ROMs before and I liked the speed but I wanted to try another ROM...Maybe someone should make a thread with a poll and people can post likes and dislikes about each ROM...It can be like a feedback thread for ROM developers as well.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
It's horrible. I don't understand how anyone can say otherwise. My Voyager 855 certainly isn't audiophile quality even with a good source, but when I tried out CM, it was noticeably better. With the Sense BT stack, cymbals sound like someone pissing on tin foil.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
The Bluetooth stack in virtually all Sense ROMs is absolute crap. CyanogenMod fixed it a long time ago (and actually uses a proper stack that's fully FOSS). Plus CM has a DSP equalizer built in that you can use.

The quality certainly doesn't match that of wired headphones (and probably never will), but for bluetooth, it's fairly good. Noticeably better than the same pair of headphones connected to a dongle on a Windows 7 computer.

Hey I just came from Galaxy S and there is a way to disable Hsdpa in there which improves battery life amazingly....

I was wondering if there is a way to do that in Desire? (for my city 3g speeds are faster than hspa for some reason)...

Also is there a way to select which band the phone is connecting by 850 vs 1900 ... or to see what it is using ?

any help would be appreciated :)

There is also a widget to totally disable mobile internet which I use to save battery

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Go to Settings > Wireless & Network Settings > Mobile Networks...

That's pretty much what you can do with the Desire as far as mobile networks are concerned. GSM phones normally switch to different frequency bands depending on where they are located and in the Desire I don't think you can select which one to go for (besides it's an unnecessary feature in my opinion)...it just does it on its own. Maybe there is an app around that let's you do this?...

As for viewing which band you are on....you can't do it on a standard ROM but there might be custom ROMs or an app that let's you do this.

Update: Some apps that might interest you => 4G, CDMA, GSM & Wifi Map Viewer from Sensorly.com

=> Open Signal Maps Beta from Staircase 3, Inc.

=> Antennas from mpoly

=> Quick Settings (maybe..)

mmm none of those do anything like it...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837716

this is what im talking about... saves the phone a LOT of battery by just forcing it to use 3g instead of hspa ...

i think developers can prolly make more sense of it.. i mean if they have a way.. there has to be one in other devices ...no?
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Ah, so you have a Galaxy S.....unfortunately, this is a HTC Desire forum, so it would be better if you posted this in the Galaxy S forums. You may not find the answers you are looking for here as this forum mainly handles a different device to the Galaxy S.

What I said before is only applicable to the HTC DESIRE. I thought you switched to a Desire when you mentioned you came from a Galaxy S, but I was mistaken. The apps I mentioned as mainly for monitoring the 4G, 3.5G & 3G (i think 2G too) coverage. If you are looking to switch between them (i.e. turn HSDPA off and turn 2G on) I am sure there is a way to do so...on the Desire this can be done through the Mobile Networks settings...

And no, I'm not familiar with the Galaxy S....
[Desire General] danial.aw:
no i had the galaxy s... (i posted that for reference as to how its done on that)...

and ya those apps just toggle just 2g vs 3g...

im looking for a umts vs hspa toggle... (3g vs 3.5g).... because umts takes way less battery than hspa does...

tried to mess around in the band setting screen but couldnt find anything :(
[Desire General] heyjoe66:
SOLUTION

what you need is to edit /system/build.prop file

here are my settings:

ro.ril.hsxpa=0

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=1

ro.ril.hsupa.category=1

after doing the and couple?... of restarts H icon changed to 3G and it really does save battery significantly and speed is pretty much enough for browsing or email
[Desire General] Lothaen:
would have thought if battery life was vital then you'd disable data completely tbh
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
This is somewhat network dependent. Here in Sweden I know of one network that will have you at HSXPA (H) as soon as it is possible. My network on the other hand will set to 3G when WCDMA is detected and set to H only during data traffic.

And then G if only GSM is detected.

I disable data via widget if I want to save power even further. Not that it has that much impact. There is a setting under wireless and network > mobile network at the bottom : ativate mobile data (this is translated). This setting will force the data connection to be active even if unused. You have to experiment here what setting is best for your network. On my network, if I remove the tick here (data connection will let go if not used and reconnect when needed) my battery will drain quicker. Providers with other policies might give different result.

Hi,

The problem i experiencing is that when i boot the phone with sim card in it, the imei will come up as unknown. However, if boot with no sim, imei is then correct. phone calls, sms and data all working fine, but if i want apps that need imei, i need to reinstall firmware and install apps before the next reboot. i want to know if there is a problem with my sim (2 to 3 year old sim), the firmware or worst, my phone?

history:

I have recently got a imported SGS (Hong Hong ver) in Australia, using telstra sim.

There was problem (IMEI) at start with the build-in rom as i start the phone with sim in, but i didn't check if imei ok without sim. i then made a /efs backup and upgraded to jpe via kies, which the imei seems to be fine.

i when on flashing speedmod k12 (adb odin), no lagfix, just for the kernel, root and nand backup. didn't bother to check imei. I decided to test out darky's rom, did a factory reset and installed v8.0 slim (no wipe).

right now I'm thinking of flashing back to jpe via odin to see if problem still occur later today. or i should be testing something else?

Thanks
