[Focus General] happycollin26:
I noticed it this morning. I was on the phone with another tech support rep last night that WAS NO help, only concluded with that, I'm suppose to go to one of their stores and switch it out with another handset. Problem with that is, I didn't purchase it from ATT since Amazon.com had it for a penny. So, that'll be a fun visit. <--sounds like I'm from the south, don't it? lol

I'm having SO much fun sending myself texts to see if it actually goes through and I receive it. Here's something to think about, the two weeks I had T-mobile, I sent out 5,689 texts. So, this feature is something I actually WANT.
[Focus General] happycollin26:
Update: Swapped out the phone. I had to act like an idiot because they had NO record of my sale at the ATT store, which there isn't any since I bought it at Amazon.com for a penny.

Knock on wood, its working. Sent myself over 50 texts throughout 2 hours.
[Focus General] bremic9188:
I just recently started having this problem. I didn't notice at first, I just didn't think I was receiving any text messages. I accidentally restarted the phone (crappy case) and when I started it back up I got 10 texts instantly...all from the previous day. So I thought, oh AT&T must have screwed up. A day goes by and still no texts (odd because I usually get at least 20 texts a day). So I try to send myself a text. No bueno. So I restarted my phone. 10 texts. Restarted again. 10 texts...all still from Monday (2 days ago).

I already had problems with cellular data (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867347), and now this. If this problem is being caused by the SD card too, I'm getting rid of it.
[Focus General] MKohlman:
Text Messages

Yes, I have seen this on occasion. Seems to be random and relatively infrequent in nature for me right now though. One thing that I have noticed (and may or may not be related) is that wireless sync seems to stop working at the same time. A soft rest always makes the problem go away...
[Focus General] Syst3m:
I had this problem with my 2nd focus (i dropped the first and shattered the screen) It seemed to work fine for a few hours after I got it, then stopped receiving. As soon as I'd reboot the phone, itd work till i sent about 10 messages, then stopped. I tried my sim in another phone, worked fine. So now i'm on my 3rd phone.

Id tried multiple hard resets and none of them helped - I had assumed i'd just gotten a bad phone. But it seems a more common issue than I'd originally thought. I'd tried initially to take out my SD card (Kingston 16gb Class 4) and it didnt help.
[Focus General] Eriatarka:
Just got this problem on my Omnia 7, so maybe it's an OS or carrier issue.
[Focus General] abledanger:
Interesting. I wonder if anyone else has had this issue on some of the htc or lg phones or if it's a Samsung only problem. I guess this means that it's not related to the sd card though!

I have since replaced my defective focus and have yet to experience any problems with the new one.
[Focus General] tyryanjr:
I believe I've figured out and need a few testers to verify fix. I too was experiencing same issue of not receiving more than 10 SMS text messages until soft reset. After multiple hard resets and eventual phone replacement by AT&T Technical Support, I decided to navigate the Diagnosis Codes determined to find a fix for you all. Long story short, I discovered and tested the setting that causes and fixes the issue as follows:

*#197328640#

1 Debug

8 Phone Control

7 Network Control

1 GCF

3 Setting Cancellation

End

Soft Reset phone (Reboot)

You can test by texting yourself (your mobile number)

Enjoy! :-)

Can't access root menu with *#197328640#

Hi, I can't open my root menu using *#197328640#. Any idea? I have the same problem of not receiving SMS.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
*#32489# bypass to get into root menu. click the back button 4 times to get to the main menu.

Someone else posted that here.
[Focus General] bkaul:
Thanks. I've been experiencing the problem too ... will test and let you know if it works for me!
[Focus General] bkaul:
I'm not experiencing this problem any more, though I can't say for sure whether it was solved due to that diagnostic menu action or the Samsung firmware update I applied later that evening.
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
Testing now!!!

I hope you're fix works for me too. This has been very annoying.
[Focus General] tyryanjr:
Good luck everyone. If v1122 of diagnosis menu has been installed due to update you can get to it by *#32489# and click on "Back" to get where you need in the menu.
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
Reporting back.

As long as I'm in an area with good radio penetration, the fix is a godsend.

In areas with poor radio penetration, it's no change.

So, I'll say good work tyryanjr & ATT-US

You guys improved my love of the focus tenfold today.

I should mention I am using a Rogers Branded Focus, SIM Unlocked, Dev Unlocked (Chevron), NoDo, on SaskTel's wireless network in Saskatchewan. If you are on Bell or Telus with similiar issues, give it a whirl.

To my wireless carrier, please rectify the situation, ASAP!
[Focus General] tyryanjr:
So..... After further research on what the heck GCF means under the Network Control menu I've determined it to refer to GlobalCertificationForum.org. Now if you search for SGH-i917 within the last two years you will quickly find the Samsung Focus was not one of the handsets certified.

What does this mean?

At this point I would be speculating, but one thing is clear. This device was not designed by necessary spec to fully leverage Release 5 or 6 of GSM/GPRS/WCDMA set forth by GlobalCertificationForum.org.

Or our carriers do not completely meet GCF spec for Release 5 or 6.

There appears to be a commonality with this issue in that it can occur regardless of carrier based on my research and feedback received. I'm going to deduce this to be specific to the device.

Here's another notion to consider. Does this mean our SGH-i917 Samsung Focus would not support "4G" or the washed down version of 3GPP Radio Technologies?

I am in no way an authority on this subjet matter. My research has been solely symptom based with no hard data collected either on the device or by collaborating with my carrier.

I'm sure that I could dig deeper and look into FCC filings for this device and its technology in order to derive at some high level conclusion. But in the end when my carrier decides to get off its ass and really begin deploying true "4G" Cellular technology, I will be eligable for an upgrade. ;-)
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Thanks to this thread, I JUST got back from picking up my 3rd Focus. I've been going back and forth with Tech Support for months now, and they felt like they exhausted all their resources. They reset my network settings, SMS, voicemail, phone number, etc, so many times that they basically told me to get a different phone. I DON'T like any of the other WP7 phones until the HD7s come out, so that was out of the question.

I finally got a guy in Tech Support (Harrold) who was incredibly helpful. He continued to call me back off and on today for over 4 hours. When I thought all hope was lost, I read him what I heard on this thread. He said he would be amazed to find out that was the problem. I had him send me over 10 messages, and every time, it would stop at 10. He told me to go to the local ATT Device Center to get a replacement, but to make sure they allowed me to send myself over 10 messages and confirm they all came back before I left the building (45 min drive from my home that I've done 3 times already).

When I arrived at the Device Center and told them the story, they all looked at me like I was crazy. I had to convince them to do the 10 message test. Sure enough, it didn't work for them either. They had me insert my SIM into the Demo phone and it worked perfectly. Put the SIM back into my phone, and stopped at 10 again.

I then did the test in a replacement phone and it worked. It's obviously a glitch in a batch of phones. Anyways, it appears my problem is cured for the time being. Only time will tell for sure, but I'm optimistic. I've still never had a Hard Reboot due to the phone not working, it's just been the messaging getting stuck. Now, maybe I can enjoy this fine phone in peace. :)
[Focus General] MRWRANGLERS1:
im getting the same problem. It just suddenly started happening. Ive tried att and of course they dont know anything about whats going on. This is driving me nuts.

[Focus General] MRWRANGLERS1:

[Focus General] tyryanjr:
I'm just glad to have discovered this fix and the opportunity to share it with everyone.
[Focus General] sandrobber:
Same here

Had the same issue dropped the phone then sporratic sms then it seemed none at all. I was also dropping calls. I called warranty and they fixed it with a replacement phone.
[Focus General] 1031982:
I just started having this issue, although it's after some time (like a few hours) and I need to restart my phone about 4 times a day. I just went through your steps, and sent at least 30 messages to myself through a combination of my phone and free Internet options. I got them quicker then before I changed the settings by about a second, and I will let you know if this has caused my reboot requirement to go down.

Note : I see haveing to reboot my phone once a day as acceptable.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colorado_al:
I have been trying to get the HTC_IME keyboard installed but it is not working for me. I have tried with ADB and root explorer and with terminal emulator. With any of these, it does not show up as an option to choose in Nook Color Tools. If I try to install the APK I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package"

I have tried several different apk files, one from my HTC EVO, and a few from XDA downloads.

None of the Froyo HTC_IME.apk files show up at all in the keyboard list.

I can get one of the HTC_IME.apk files to show up in the list and it must be from a previous version of Android. When I chose it, however, no keyboard appears.

I have also tried various HTC_IME.apk files with an included Clicker.apk for calibration and still nothing.

Anybody have any success with the HTC_IME keyboard?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] robjective:
+1

I played with it a little, too, but I didn't have any luck. I don't remember what I tried, but it involved NookColor Tools to switch and I ended up settling for the Gingerbread keyboard until someone figures this out.

There's an Eclair version and a Froyo version, and I think we need to use the Eclair verison.

mp4

EDIT: Just for clarity. Should I be using VLC since Handbrake does not decrypt? (I read this after a google search please inform me if I m wrong).

It's never a smart thing to subscribe to RSS feeds especially when it comes to support forums. I used to do it but got so many emails daily. Give the guy some slack though. He probably didn't know it was a bug and therefore didn't search because of it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylar.sutton:
I disagree:

RSS feeds are always preferred over revisiting the page. You reduce load on the server by not streaming all the content back and forth until there is a discussion you want to dive into. I'm not sure what you use for RSS if it's sending you emails but switch over to Google Reader.

I understand he didn't know it was a bug... my point was why not search for it first. The very first thing I do when I encounter something like this is "google it". That either takes me to pages where others are discussing the same issue... or proves that no one else knew about it.

A forum isn't meant to be a never ending jetstream of new threads. Look at the developer forums, they have a single thread per ROM/App/etc. and update it with discoveries and new software versions. The thread becomes the SOLE SOURCE for information on that topic... making it easy to find what you are looking for.

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
You can install Clockwork from an external sdcard. You just need to put the update.zip, and the recovery folder on the sdcard. Make sure there is a file inside the recovery folder named command. You will likely need to open the command file with a text editor and make sure it has sdcard2 listed instead of sdcard. The command file will not have an extension. If you get all of that then put the sdcard in your tablet, hold the vol+ button while pressing the power button. If all goes well clockwork will be installed.

You can get into clockwork the same way. Vol+, and then press power. Once in clockwork do the first 2 items that say wipe in the names. Then reboot and with any luck your tablet will work..

However, it's time to move on up (feature-wise), so I traded it for a Samsung Vibrant.
