XV6900 Texting Problem

I just bought my xv6900 2 days ago and i noticed that each time my phone goes idle as it goes to sleep and when someone text messages me i dont get a notification until i turn on the phone again with the button on top of the phone. and also sometimes i dont receive a call and when i next turn back on my phone it says missed call..
does anyone perhaps have the same problem or know whats wrong with my phone?

I have had the same problem and can't figure it out. I've done a hard reset and that fixes it for a bit, but no long term solution.
I have the following Software Installed:
SPB Mobile Shell
VIP Ringtone Manager
Shubaroo Group SMS

i have yet to install any other apps that didnt come with the phone. and i read that forum link u gave me, it doesnt seem to be my battery because i know my battery was at 80% when this happend. its such a nice phone but this really pisses me off. wish there was a solution.

I am having the same issue. I called verzion and they know nothing about it. Everyone who has this please call. I really like this phone but if it doesnt work like a phone its useless.

I've seen same problem on a Sprint Touch so it's not specific to Verizon.
I had 2 Sprint Touch phones side by side and one would not wake up from suspend for an incoming text or phone call. The second Touch worked properly and they had the exact same configuration. No clue why some of the HTC Vogue's have this issue and others don't.
I would call Verizon and ask for a swap if they ignore your problem.

Well I did a hard reset and it worked great for few days! Now back to normal.. looks like it is going back to verizon. Not sure what to get though.

Got the same problem but some days it works fine and some days it doesnt. I througth i had to much stuff saved or downloaded on the phone but when i removed programs that i downloaded that i never used it didnt fix anything so im puzzled like everyone else here.

same issue
I have had mine for several months now, i just had to do a hard reset recently and my phone has done the same exact thing ever since. I thought maybe it was a problem with polling. I did notice this time I hard reset, verizon did not have me set my A key, instead they changed something on their side and had me do a 228 reprogram. So i wonder if something is being changed via this new method ( the guy told me he just figured out he could do it this way and not require me to set my akey ).

Message LED always flashing?

I have searched, and read a ton of info, but I have not noticed a solution to this problem.
I recently had to swap to a new 6800 under warranty. When the new one gets text message, the yellow LED flashes and usually does not shut off after I read the new message.
This is terribly annoying since I never know when I really have a new message. I can only make it go away when I reset the phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hey Dan. Do you have an unheard voicemail? Sometimes eventhough I have read all of my texts or emails, the LED will still flash until I have listened to my VM.
The easiest way to combat your excessive LED flashing is to use a small program called nueLED. It allows you to turn off any or all of your LEDs. Obviously, you want the Notification LED to flash, so whenever it gets stuck flashing, open the nueled program and select the extras tab and select reset LEDs.

Hey buddy, every once in awhile that happens to me. Its a little bug of some sorts. Here is how I get it to stop flashing without a soft reset.
Go to start/settings/personal tab/sounds and notifications/Notifications tab. And then simply click OK, no need to change anything. This will make it stop flashing.

Since this is a new phone as of a few weeks ago, could this be running MR2? Could that be the issue?
Old phone = GPS working. New phone = not at all...
Meh

MR1 and MR2 both break GPS as far as I've read (I don't have Verizon so no actual experience there).

GPS will work on MR1/2 if you set it up right.

Hmm I just had this happen for maybe the 3rd time since I've had the phone yesterday. Someone called me, didn't even leave a message, and the light kept blinking. I already read the notification saying I had missed a call.
Now that I think of it, the only times this has happened is since I started using RM 1.1 Light...

Actually the 213017b ROM works great with the correct carrier cab. I had this problem till I got this ROM. Have you tried it'?

I have not tried any roms other than MR1 which the GPS worked on.
Does anyone know the start up version numbers for the MR1 and MR2 update? If my phone is running MR2 I am going back to MR1 ASAP.
The lack of GPS and this silly always blinking message led are driving me nuts.

GPS works on both MR1 and MR2. Also the extra led blinking is not a problem with MR1 or MR2. It just happens sometimes.

I used to have it happen a lot as well. I already mentioned my way to get the flashing to stop on the first page. But one thing I did notice is that with my newest 6.1 build 21054 it hasnt happened once. I have had the ROM on my phone for over a month. So I am guessing its a problem with some of the older builds based on my experiences.

Yes, I have been using your solution for the time being. I then swapped to a BB storm (free upgrades for me and my girl) and couldn't stand the operating system so I went back to my 6800 and got her a omnia. WM FTW.

You should consider the TP2 if you want a new phone. It is a great one

Yes, that's a great phone and will pick one up sooner or later.
Update, out of frustration of two things:
The message LED flashing mostly all the time
and
my phone becoming unresponsive randomly yesterday
.. I went back to MR1 and all is well again.

[Q] G2 erased itself twice without me confirming anything

Hi everyone I preordered on the first day and I got one of the first batches I guess. Well up until a few days ago everything went well with the phone. But 2 days ago i put my phone in my pocket at work and 4 hours later I pull it out during lunch break and my phone was completely erased. It went back to stock asking for me to enter my google account. At first i thought that launcher pro was closed and i was back at the original home screen but everything was actually erased. I couldn't believe it. I never had this happen on any of my previous phones.. So I reinstalled everything and the same thing happened the next day but this time my phone was on and launcher pro kept force closing and it was stuck in a loop. Then i went to reboot and the phone was completely erased again. Is this apart of that rootkit chip that i have been hearing about? I havent even tried the temp root. When I think about it i have just started using launcher pro a few days ago. Could that be the problem? For now I wont use launcher pro and see what happens and I will keep yall updated. And thanks for any help that you can provide.

LAWL.... and the NAND strikes back.... if it happens consistently thatn it might be time to exchange for another oner

That happened to me once too. I also thought it might have been an adw launcher issue. Ive been back to the standard launcher for about a week now without any issues, but I dont really know if that was the problem

I don't know if Launcher Pro might be the problem. That was probably the first thing I installed when I received the phone. I haven't had this happened to me and I'm using the Visionary temp root.

ok so far since i dont have launcher pro installed everything is working fine no reboots today from what i can tell.

I had the same exact problem. I go to sleep, wake up to look at my phone to send a text.. and all of my text are removed. This happened yesterday, I was soo mad I contacted Tmobile and they told me some stupid stuff like get a sms backup.. I just paid 300 dollars for a phone, which was no problem, but we as customers shouldn't have to backup our text every 2 days.. that is redic to me. I am the type of person that likes to keep my LOGS of my text so I really like having them there even from my old G1 3 years ago I try to keep them. old pictures that girls send me via text I want to keep that.... and keep in mind I don't use launcher pro just because of the problems i've been hearing it has. SO this happened on a Stock, never tried the temp root tmobile G2. crazy huh? and I don't have insurance on it, so I am kinda put in a bad position. ANy suggestions? it's past my 14 days. Keep in mind I REALLY love this phone though, just that was too much for me. I don't want to go to sleep and wake up with every text removed ever again. Oh and I get random reboots.. prolly 2 a day. HOpfully this update I am hearing about from androidspin will stop all those problems.. is it me or does the G2 seem to have worst reception than the G1? sorry for the long message, just wanted to vent to other G2 users.. I love the phone though, best phone ever if working correctly

Try waking with no software on your phone. That happen 36 hours after getting the phone. Did a recovery and everything came back With the exception of all my personal stuff. Funny thing is whatever happened In the middle of the night fried my sim. Everything is good now going on 2 weeks. I absolutely love this phone.

Problem with my sound? Help please :(

Hey, I need some help, no clue what's going on here =/
My sound, both ringtones and regular media sound, are not working. If I max out the volume, I'm able to hear a staticy noise.
I haven't dropped my phone or anything, in fact, it's just been sitting in my desk for the past few days. I'm not sure when this started to happen, either. I just noticed it today, when I installed CM and started to play with it.
I tried restoring a backup, nothing, tried running ODIN to get a clean DK28, still didn't work. Absolutely no idea what's going on here =/
Any help or ideas would be extremely appreciated, thank you.

I had the same exact problem. It was working when I went to bed and when I woke up, just odd high pitched static at times. I flashed back to stock with no difference and had the same odd noise even on startup with the animation. The tech at the Sprint repair store said they've seen several of these and gave me a new one out of the box. Which made me happy as my screen was loose anyways.

This is exactly what I have. First noticed it when I flashed to stock and heard the noise on the boot up.
I guess I'll just restore everything back to stock and get ready to swap it. Much thanks!

Me too
just got a replacement phone from sprint.
same thing audio was crackling when i activated the phone.
now i need a replacement for the replacement lol.
but its cool they overnighted me another phone today

... How do you get overnight replacement. They verifed my phone is faulty, but said I need to get one delivered to my local store back home.

Wow, looks like this problem is actually sort of common. Well, not really common, but it's the same thing happening to multiple people. And since this seems to just happen out of nowhere randomly, all units could be susceptible to this? I dunno, just random pondering.
I wonder what the cause of this is?
Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna get to go to a Sprint store until after Christmas Ah well, not really too big of an issue for me, I can still do stuff with my phone that's not sound related

Strange N4 Issues

I've had the phone for a few months, only used it for 2 weeks then put it back in the box with plans to resell it. Dad needed a new phone for his job so i decided to give it to him and every day for the past week ive gotten at least one phone call from him with problems. He is extremely new to smart phones but I never had a single issue with this phone prior to giving it to him. For some reason he will receive text messages or voice mail and sees the notification icons up on the notification bar but when he goes to pull the bar down it does nothing. The only way to resolve this issue is to restart the phone then all of a sudden the pull-down starts to function as it should. The phone is completely stock out the box i didn't feel the need to touch anything or have to root it for any reason.
He had to go to AT&T to get a sim card for it and the people there basically wanted to run him out of the store and not even touch the phone because they do not sell it so not a single person wanted to even help him out even though he just dropped more money into their pockets by upgrading his plan to a smart phone plan. before i gave him the phone all i did was a factory reset to wipe out any of my data on the phone so it was clean and like new for him.
Im at a loss because the whole time i used the phone i had no issues and since the day he got it he has had nothing but problems. I chalked this up to user error but its not because when he gave it to me to see if i could figure out why things were acting weird the only thing i could think to do was restart the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be happening and/or how to go about fixing it and not making him regret ever having to get a smart phone much less this N4?

New paragraph!
What messaging apps are you using? You could always download the toolkit and flash the stock factory image again.

I would try another factory reset just to make sure things didn't go haywire during the reset you already did. I have had a bad reset with a phone before.

yeah im gonna have to get with my dad and fool with the phone more. Its hard to troubleshoot something when he lives 45mins away and calls me with problems while im at work.
ONCE AGAIN the whole phone is stock so that would lead me to believe that the stock messaging app is being used. I will talk him through doing a reset again and see how that works out for him. From what he told me the only app hes even installed outside of everything that comes on the phone was Map Quest, which i told him he shouldn't need because Google Maps is already loaded on. So first im going to have him uninstall that from the phone as well as from his downloaded apps list in the play store and see if that changes anything.
