Ok, so Google Voice is awesome - who doesn't love receiving calls in gmail? Texting via the webUI rules too.
But many times when I send a message via the handset app (updated of course), it will sit there 'sending' for a while, then tell me message could not be sent.
The sucky part is that sometimes it actually did send the message, and then my poor dumbphone friends get duplicate sms from me.
I've looked around for solutions online, but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions around? Is it an issue outside of Google's jurisdiction? It does seem to happen more often when 3G is weak.
Fascinate, Voodoo'd.
Thanks!
Google voice is awesome and crappy all at the same time. It seems to have a mind of it's own and sometimes just fails to send correctly the first time.

i used to have that problem. try these two different steps out, or both, because that's what fixed my "Message..." and duplicate messages:
1. Dial *228 and reactivate your data
2. Upgrade to DJ05
jt's Super Clean DJ05 v0.9 + jt's 11/29 stable non-voodoo kernel
Posted this very same problem in this very same forum. DJ05 is the solution. A little search helps.

Thanks for the help, but I did do 'a little search', followed by peering carefully at the forum's suggested similar threads specifically trying to avoid the situation that happens every day on every forum out there:
NOOB: I have a question or comment showing my ignorance.
FREQUENT POSTER: Here's your answer, but only with some thinly veiled irritation at NOOB wasting my time.
Why do people think that it's ok to be sarcastic or sometimes even flame just because we aren't face to face? Its the same twisted psychology as road rage.
As an intelligent, tech savvy, well read person, I can tell you that the biggest barrier to becoming a meaningful part of any online community is the propensity of its residents to be snippy with offenders.

What's The Right Way to upgrade to DJ05
Is there a thread where that's explained?
My understanding with voodoo was that it would have to be removed completely before I could switch to another ROM. Is that the case? If so, is the only way as described in the sticky about 'how to remove voodoo completely?'
Get pissed. If we were face to face I would have told you the same thing. Search this particular forum for "google voice" (or xda in general for fascinate "google voice") and this exact issue is already posted and solved, and not buried either. The reason "newbs" get "flamed" for making repeat threads is because it clutters up the forums with junk making it more difficult for users with the same problem to find the proper solution. If you think I was being a jerk for pointing this out while offering the solution then swell for you. The last word is all yours, theres not much more for me to argue about.

Yeah, I understand the reason, and of course it's not outrageous. Why not just link to the thread with the solution if somebody misses it? Then I would have felt dumb, instead of angry at the predictable snottiness.
Forums = Clutter. Maybe there's an idea for a startup there?
Snotty beamed me twice last night. It was wonderful.

Many forum posts were devoted to the Google Maps update which included bicycle navigation, under claims that it broke many features including spoken navigation. With this, I didn't install.
However, not installing brings a reminder every single day (thank goodness I mute the phone before going to sleep).
Does anyone know if updating Google Maps is still a bad idea?
I must have missed those threads.
I haven't had or read of any GMM issues since the bicycle maps were added.
EDIT: I've been sticking to the Incredible sections of the various android forums though, so maybe it was another phone that had issues?
Its this one!!!

Ummm ... its this thread actually (a mod consolidated some time ago); but I will take it that your Incredible does not suffer from the items listed at the top of this thread?
I'll go look for that thread and take a look.
But I'm a "show me" kind of person, so I just Navigated to somewhere and the nice lady started telling me where to go.
What is the thread you are referring to? This thread is only a couple of hours old and isn't consolidated?
... I seem to be missing something.
Sorry ... here you go
I am super embarrased. I prefer to go to IncredibleForum, but I always fall back on my old home of XDA (recently coming from a tilt). The thread I referred to was on IncredibleForum
http://www.incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-apps/984-dont-download-update-google-maps.html
but PRIMARILY THIS ONE
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/05/11/google-maps-4-2-update-breaking-navigation/
Any thoughts are appreciated!
ok, here's the skinny.
In both of those threads there is NO ONE with any sort of issue except the OP on that one thread (suzieq or whoever). And her problem seems coincidental and I'm sure would be fixed with a factory reset.
I will admit that I've been slacking and haven't been to incredibleforums in a couple of weeks (I forgot about them because they're not in my incredible bookmarks for some reason). But had not previously read any issues related to GMM and the latest updates.
One More?

Here is the main article on Droid Life
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/05/11/google-maps-4-2-update-breaking-navigation/
Yeah, I read that.
No one in there posting comments, not even the author, have any issues ... lol
The author does mention having an issue with pinch to zoom.
The only thing they say is something about comments on the Market.
There are no issues with GMM that should stop any of us from updating. Update the darn thing already.
Can someone please help me??? I LOVE this build but i am having trouble with MMS msgs downloading and also my phone will not let me use the internet without being on WIFI its a pain in the butt and i dont want to get rid of my android. If somebody could help me by telling me how to fix those issues i would really appreciate it!
First off, you don't say what build you're using so it's highly unlikely people will be able to offer much help.
Secondly, there are a LOT of threads that deal with MMS issues, data issues etc. You really should search and at least try a couple of those before making a new thread.

I agree with them as well. If you want help with an issue you are having, you need to be more specific.
Okay before I continue with my question I just need to point out the following. My phone is fixed, and for the most part through trial and error to this point I know what I am doing. For some reason with both superclean and blackhole dl09 roms I miss phone calls. It may also be a kernal. I was using a stupid fast kernal for dl09/dj05. My girlfriend tried to call several times and it never came through on my side though I could get some texts. Is this a problem I cause or something more wide spread? I really can't use a rom or kernal that makes it so that I can't get calls. Funny thing though some calls went through to my cell and others wouldn't. I had her call me as a test from a few feet away while my screen was off. My screen turned on like something was going to happen, but nothing. I'm running OTA dl09 if it matters. Right now everything is fine after I ODINed.
Did you read the sticky? I think not...
This may surprise you, but I have never noted any ROM here affecting call performance in any way, neither for myself nor for others in my brief tenure here. Your assertion that texts come through at all implies that your kernel matches your baseband. The only thing I can suggest is a timely *228 in the future, but we may never know what your actual issue was.
Fun anime quote of the month: "... bring Makoto's Bakoto to Captain Yamamoto."
From what I read you have to port over your Dj05 radio/modem over to your Dl09 rooted phone I had the same issues myself. My only problem is I use a MAC and we all know Odin does not work w/ Mac and I have no luck w/ Heimdal So I cant use any Roms at this point. I could be wrong and if I am please let me know. I would like to use the Superclean Rom.
Any reason this was posted in the Development section?
It belongs in General. Request a Mod move this thread.

Tried it still didn't work. Guess I am going to be waiting until all roms are on DL09. As per the comment about this not being in the correct section I would think considering this has to do with dl09 roms (hence android development) it is correctly placed.
It's not the end of the world just a bit annoying. I'm sure it won't be much longer till it gets figured out.

Make sure you followed all instruction in the ROM version install process, especially concerning modems
When switching from ROM to ROM, make sure you do a full wipe, including Dalvik
After a new ROM install finishes loading, go through the *228 option 1, and then option 2. Just humor me here, I know what they do and why this doesn't seem necessary
If you are still having issues, run through the entire thread for the ROM and Kernel you are running before asking questions which may have already been addressed
If you still have issues with calling or texting, check with other people to make sure the issue isn't with your Girlfriends network configuration
If you're still having issues, call Verizon tech guys. Blow smoke up the a$$ of the first two ppl you speak with until they get the Tier 3 guy on the line. Make sure it's nothing on their end.
If the issues continue, post them here. At that point it may be something a dev can look into. Just post it in the right place.
Honestly not being an A-hole here, but the vaaaaaaaaaaast majority of the time, these are troubleshooting issues that can be easily resolved with these steps. This is a question for general, because it has nothing to do with development.

I'll give it a shot when I get the balls back. I honestly thought this would be the correct section I apologize I spent like 10 minutes in my mind debating where it belonged guess I was wrong. I'll make sure I make a mental note of this for when I try.

Thanks. It just prevents clutter with development.
All questions should be asked in General. The development forum is for the developers to post ROMs, kernels, etc.
does the custom rom track user data? do any custom roms track the user data ie pictures or internet browsing? also how do you get the horizontal lock screen like the one that is on the iphone?
I'm trying to help you not get flammed..go to the development section, look at the ROM you are wondering about and ask in the appropriate areas. Your question is to vague so no real answer will be given. Seeing at this is your first post, you will hear "use search" alot so get used to it but really, use the search function and search for your answers. Learn more about ROMS in general and take time to study and then ask..
Good luck
Yea lol. Unfortunately, it is best not to ask any questions on this site at all. Someone will flame you regardless.
I don't know the answers to your questions, but, you might be able to try widgetlocker for the lockscreen.

You can ask questions, as long as you put then in the appropriate area. This obviously has to do with a specific rom, and should have been asked in that roms thread.
And the question about the lock screen has been answered a hundred times. There is no need to make a new thread when he could have just searched
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
and the title of this thread looks more like a statement, instead of a question. just saying.
Instead of using four posts to flame the guy, wouldn't it have been "cleaner" to just answer his simple questions and be done with it? This is the GENERAL forum after all. Those are very GENERAL questions.
1. To my knowledge, roms are NOT tracked. there are applications you can get that'll show you all incoming/outgoing data and see where it's going. This should tell you. The alternative, just like they said, is to ask the developers directly. From what I've seen, they take pride in their reputation and wouldn't jack with a rom just to track pictures of your family
2. Get WidgetLocker. It's $1.99 in the Market (if i remember correctly) It has a built-in setting for the iphone unlocker. If you need assistance with it, PM me. I'll do what i can!
cheers.

Last i knew, forum rules didn't allow users with less than 10 posts to post in the development section. Therefore he wouldn't have been able to post anywhere but here or the q and a section. He was fine with where he decided to post.
And i doubt miui tracks your data.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I do know that some chinese apps like GO SMS and Miren Browser seem to have some sort of tracking. I've used a packet sniffer and have noticed a lot of calls from/to IP addresses originating from China.
In GO SMS's case, it happens every time an SMS is received, which is quite alarming since SMS does not use data at all.
I haven't had the time to look into this , so there's no need to freak out just yet. I'll see if I can do more testing later this week. Remember, nothing conclusive yet...Just slightly alarming
ionno bout miui but i'd be more worried about carrier iq....
I doubt it you could always run a firewall and see what is trying to come in and out. Also there are apps on the market that can cause spam and track data you kinda take a gamble. Things that want root priv's and so on like a game etc.
There alot of hackers and so on from china and russia that's been going on for years tho. H
Also the guy didn't post it in the Q&A section so ya it's in the wrong forum. Too many people flame the newbie's for things If someone intentionally posted a question in the dev section or wrong fourm then they need to be flagged if it's way off topic. Gotta give the new guy some slack he is a noob lol.
I'm having major missed call issues and was wondering how many people are having the same issue?
Also has anyone contacted Verizon about this issue? If so, what did they do about it?

From lurking around i've seen that a lot of people are having this problem, regardless of rom/kernel/baseband etc... I myself have this missed call 'bug' and as of right now I don't believe there's anything we can do to fix it yet. As for telling VZ, yes they know about it and many people have complained, although they wont do much besides offer you a replacement Fascinate or a "comparable" phone (read: Droid X). If you're lucky you can smooth talk or berate them into giving you MAYBE a Droid X2 or Incredible 2.

I have posted this in another forum thread about missing calls on the Fascinate, and I wanted to update this one as well with the updated information. This software release will address multiple issue including text messaging issues. Here's what I posted in some other threads:
I have been keeping track of this issue, and I have some news for those having the issue.
This has been escalated to the manufacturer. They rigorously tested and researched this specific issue. Samsung has developed a confirmed fix for the phones not ringing as of 06/30/11. We are working with them to finalize the fix and deliver it to the phones. I really wish I had an ETA to give everyone, but we don't have one yet. I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop.
Historically, these fixes have been pushed or updated via a software update. Here's a link to the Samsung Fascinate software update page in case we push this fix in a similar fashion. This page will update when we get very close to delivering the update if done via OTA software update.
Thanks again for everyone's feedback and patience.
Edited Note: I have also removed the resolution for this post. Perhaps once the software updates are launched, tested, and confirmed by multiple users as resolving the issue, then we can mark this as solved. Our goal is to fix issues, not just see the a green check mark on the page to make everyone feel better. I apologize about that, and I agree it was completely marked in error.
