MDA Pro crashing randomly when composing TXTS - Heeeelp plz!

I've had this problem for awhile now, and i was just thinking it was some 'quirk' with the T-mobile ROM, but recently i've installed the new ROM, and i'm getting the exact same problem, so i really am confused now :/
(I haven't installed any apps, or hacked the device in anyway btw)
Basically, i'll be composing a standard TXT, and the brightness on the screen will go to maximum (as if it's been plugged into charge) then when i come to pressing 'send' it does nothing. Then i close the messaging app, then whatever i try to load, it comes up with a 'this program is unsigned' error, all the txt on the screen does white, and basically everything looks screwed.
If i go into task manager and close the messaging app, then the screen goes back to its normal brightness, but the application errors still continue.
The only way to get around this, is by rebooting the device, but then once it's reloaded, it seems to randomly loose my latest TXTs/e-mails!
Really starting to annoy me now!
Does anyone have ANY Idea what might be causing this, or experienced this before?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks

*bump*
No one else had a similar problem?

OK and another thing ive noticed, when i go to the lock options, even if i type in an incorrect PIN, or even if i click 'ok' it just bypasses the lock screen! How s**t is that!
I've got no idea what's up with this phone, but i'm really pissed off with it now, i'm sending it to t-mobile for their engineers to look at, but im 99% sure that they'll run a few simple tests on it, and declare that it's totally fine, then send it back to me... GRRRRRRRR :evil:

hey same thing happening to me too.
mine too sometimes goes to full brightness while composing SMS. If u then switch off the phone(by power button), it comes up with a message box asking for driver. In the end, i hv to reboot the device.
And the poor part is that it doesnt happens all the times. This has started happening to since I have upgraded to latest imate ROM(I have O2 Exec). I had similar problem with the latest Qtekk ROM.
The only thing i d not installed was 'ms_.nbf' from both of the ROMs,which is actually represent the 'extended rom' of HTC devices.

Ahh, well i'm glad im not the only one!
I'm going to assume it's a hardware issue..... possibly..... because ive had the exact same problem on the past 2 t-mobile ROMs. So annoying :S

why dont u give a try to other ROMs like imate, qtekk. May be, you do away with this 'annoying' problem somehow

Well i've had problems with the past 2 T-mobile ROMs, so i'm thinking that it's not really an issue with the software.. but i really dont know. Have you fixed the problem, or are you still getting it?

Now, from past 2 days,this has not happened. yay
so far, so good

Hmmmm interesting
How frequently did you have the problem before? + can you keep me updated if you get the same problem again on this new ROM? Thanks

I used to suffer from this problem at least 2-3times a day. And it was very frustrating too.
Till now, not a single problem with latest qtekk ROM, FABULOUS is the word for it !!
No problem at all till now. Popper, you should give it a try now

Hmmm I might give that a go. Which ROM contains all the network setting information? Was that the "ms_.nbf" file you mentioned?
Thanks

yes, its the ms_.nbf which contains the network settings. In other words, it the one, which represents the extended rom of your device

Setup Application (first boot)

Hi all,
I tried searching the forums for this particular weirdness but could find it.
I recieved my HD2 last week and had the crackling ear piece problem, with no help from T-Mobile i decided to flash the device with the latest HTC Rom it corrected the problem and everything is working fine.
There is one little thing i have noticed though which is weird, when booting the phone for the first time when it had the TMO rom it gave me a pre-setup application or firstboot application whatever you want to call it.
With the new HTC rom it doesnt give me this when i hard reset is this normal?
Thing is when i turn off the phone for a brief moment it shows the same setup application as running in the background?

switch teh phone into airplane mode and you should find the background app comes to teh front and you can complete it.

wouldn't a task manager allow you to switch to it?

Seems to be, yes. It's been reported several times by people going up to the HTC 1.66 roms.

proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor problem...

I made a few phone calls and I noticed the screen will go off for a few seconds and then go back on and stay on... Why?
It is wasting out my battery this way.

The phone goes off as you bring it close to your ear to stop your ear pushing anything whilst you are on a call then when you pull away the screen will come back on is that what you mean

Lol, no, that's not what I meant.
Supposing I make a phone call, the screen is lit as normal, I then place the phone to my ear to speak, the screen goes off, after 2-3 seconds it will come back on and stay on!
Even if I took the phone away from my ear while talking, and then put it back on my ear, the screen will once again go aff, and after a few seconds it will come back on and stay on until I finish the phone conversation.
Sounds strange but that's exactly what it's doing.

sounds like you got an app controlling screen timeout while on call. check through your apps see if any of them have permission to control screen time out

best is to go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications and check through manually. i had a similar issue with my x10 and found it was a app causing the screen to stay on while on a call

I just went through the applications. All I could see was around 50 or more applications, what am I to do or look for in each one, how do I find out which app is causing the screen to stay lit and how to stop it?
Sorry for this, I'm just new to the streak!

No quick way to do this but its most likely an "installed by you" app so try them first
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

This is EXTREMELY strange because all the apps I have installed were on my previous HTC Hero & HTC Desire and never did either of them give me any problems with the proximity Sensor...

It's build 3883. Yesterday I downloaded the update to 4399, tried to run it several times, it does nothing and just reboots and turns back on...
However, could the proximity problem be a fault as I've never had this problem before and I've had dozens of touch screens in the past...
I will now backup my data and do a factory reset to see if it solves the problem.

Flumps, thanks a billion for your help, seems you was right!
I just did a factory reset to remove all installed apps & settings, when the booted back on, I made a phone call, put it to my ear for about 10 seconds, the display shut off AND STAYED OFF UNTIL I TOOK THE PHONE OFF MY EAR!!!
Strange though, what app could it be?
What I will do now is install the apps again ONE BY ONE to see the culprit, and if I find out I will let you know.

Ok, I just installed all the previous apps I had one by one and testing the phone.
Have a guess WHICH app was the culprit????
The dam Advanced Task Killer!!!
I am not at all surprised though because other people said that task killers are NOT recommended on the Dell Streak.
The only weird thing is that I've used the Advanced task killer on 3 other Android based phones including HTC Hero, HTC HD2 & HTC Desire and I never had this problem...
I take it the Dell Streak does not like task/app killers...

haha, glad you sorted it bro! ya, task managers are abit meh on the streak, best to stay clear for now.

[Q] Freezes after custom ROM

After installing each of the following: Focus rev1.4 ROM v1.3, ROM v2.0, ROM v2.2, my focus constantly keeps freezing at the Windows Phone logo loading screen. I don't know what to do. And sometimes it comes up with a message saying the storage card isn't compatible and I have to turn my phone off, remove it and turn it back on again and then it just still freezes at the Windows Phone logo loading screen. Any help would be much appreciated, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

The compatibility message you also get when you're using a wrong charger. Is your battery ok?

Well it's kinda old and doesn't hold a charge longer than a day. It's the same battery I got with the phone when it came out. But is that really what would be causing it?

I'm not saying that's it but it's worth checking. Beats the alternative, search custom rom and stuck at logo you'll see what I mean.

So, now it never freezes, it always keeps saying Memory Card Not Working. Is this completely due to my bad battery? You think ATT will let me test another one of their battery's to see if thats the problem.

If you flash any custom ROM, you may lose your warranty...

lots of freezin goin on up in here!

long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!

But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

thanks for the input, by again my digitizer is fine
it only stops responding when i try and reboot the phone.

hai bro,,,,,,
pls change the rom to gingerbread.....use asop roms i.e. non sense roms for less freezing specially when unlocking screen freeze...currently ics hardware acceraltion under some issue the xda members are working hard to come issues...wait for a stable daily use ics build release..........all ics rom are beta hence no hardware video codecs etc.....dont doubt your screen it works well ,,,my htc is 1.5yrs old it is fine.. dont doubt your digitalizer..it is fine ...only your kernels in rom make this error ..
i personal recommand to go with stable cm7 base builds...for better battery life and stablity...

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

ok full fledged lock up this time. had to yank the battery.
could there be something still lingering on the system even after i did a wipe of the data/cache? im not opposed to reinstalling the rom if theres something else i can run to wipe it further.
also after booting back up it reverted to monday june 18 8:32 am!

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?

ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)
