My phone is dropping SMSs... I get them, but they're not there.

I've owned my Rogers Dream (rooted, no custom ROM) for a couple of weeks now - this bug has been around since the start but it's getting worse these days and it's really starting to bother me.
Basically what happens is I'll get the notification for a text message. I can see the summary in the notification bar (with the new message), but when i open a messaging app (the default one or Chomp) the message won't be there. SMS Popup will also just display the previously most recent SMS in the conversation.
It seems like the system just isn't saving the message. Besides for the notification (which disappears after i clear), it's as if I never got the message. It kind of sucks...
My searching skills came up with nothing so i'm wondering - has this happened to anyone else - any idea what the reason could be - please let me fix this.
Thanks!

Well blyn100, interesting you should point this flaw out. I have a similar issue, but so far only 1 contact has given me this same summary with no msg. Trying to figure out the source of this problem, right now I have one suspicion. A few times, i think i received these msg's after being in a no service area. I am curious if this might be a possibility for you?
Also, I have similar phone setup as you, ie same stock Rogers ROM, obviously since no choice...yet.

i have the same issue
i had a thread started, but no response yet as to how to fix this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542178&highlight=SMS+issue
but now it seems like more and more ppl are having this issue (or it is more apparent)
its the same with Chomp, handcent, even the native app

Looks like this is mostly just a Rogers issue then?
Most of mine are occuring when I have pretty good reception, so I think i can confirm that that's not it.
Proccessor usage / avaiable RAM is what I'm leaning towards though. I might try uninstalling the virtual keyboard to free up some RAM and see if it helps anything.
Or just a bug in the stock ROM. Seems like for this to happen, the network is sending the message to the device and the device just forgets to save it, but confirms to the network that it got it. Still, i have a hard time believing a problem like this would suddenly appear for the Rogers build.
I had like 3 dropped ones last night, it's starting to get really annoying.

Are you sure it's not the timestamp bug? Look further up in your conversation to see if SMS' have been inserted there.

Yup, i checked all of the conversations, this isn't the case for any of them.

I had this issue on my T-Mobile G1 with the Rogers' ROMs. But I haven't had issues with Cyanogen builds...

we need a bug fix update now

Don't you all agree?

not really. what bugs are you talking about?

I have had a G1, Mytouch, and now the Nexus - I see and have no bug issues with my Unit...
If you could explain what bugs (or problems) you are having ... Is this your first Andriod ???

100% disagree.
My phone is amazing. What bugs are you experiencing?

Be more specific? before or after the ota? Mine is still kicking a## after the ota!

I Agree......
Even after the OTA update, the touch screen issue still exists.
the phone gets all buggy with registering touch (touching middle of screen activates haptic soft keys, at the bottom of screen), getting tired of constently rebooting...........

You don't have to reboot.
Just turn the screen off for 3 seconds and back on...
lol

Not everyone has this "touch screen accuracy" issue...
I haven't noticed any bugs that jump out at me. I would like them to improve the speech to text, and would love them to get the kernel with full RAM support out ASAP. I was sad this update did not have that. But, in a month when we get the next one I am confident and optimistic it will make it into it!

New RAM kernel.
Trackball/LED notification fix.
If its software the bottom row of buttons being difficult to register.
Those are all legit HW/SW issues that are unique to the N1 and need to be resolved.

New RAM kernel - not a bug
Trackball/LED notification fix - what's the issue?
If its software the bottom row of buttons being difficult to register. - Not a bug. As I posted in the tips and tricks thread, aim for the top edge, where the screen meets the black border and you'll hit it every single time. Not many people know about this and that's why they always complain. This is just user error

Whether you label it as a "bug" or not its still an issue.
Half the available RAM not being used.
The ability for Devs/Apps to customize the LED/Trackball is a feature removed.
And considering the Droid has the same panel and not the issues it is in fact a problem that the keys and "touch" area are not aligned. Thats a design flaw and nothing to do with user error.Its like asking the user to tap the Q to get a W.
Those are 2 out of the box gimpings of available hardware.
And one either HW problem or design flaw. In which case can be chalked up to "it is what it is".

It's hard to say without having a Droid and Nexus One together side by side. If they are exactly the same touch pads, and you can clearly prove that the same exact precision keypress on the Droid works 100% of the time on the Droid and not on the Nexus One, then I can agree it's a bug.
If they intended it to be so that you have to use your whole thumb (or aim for the top), then no bug. I find that if I use my entire thumb, it will always land 100% of the time no matter where I aim, so that's why I say it's hard to say it's a bug or not.
But again, this is the only one that I might agree is a bug. The other two are definitely feature requests

How about the dots which indicate the screen you are on being off.
You seem a little blinded by your love of Android. I like it too, but it is not without it's problems, just like any other software. You've convinced yourself that the the misaligned buttons are that way on purpose...really?
The wifi is very buggy, bluetooth as well. There are also notification protocols that seems a bit buggy, sometimes they pop up, sometimes they don't, sometimes they vibrate, sometimes not. E-mail client inbox refresh doesn't reconcile with server with read/unread messages, even though data packets are received. To name a couple...

This is a bug yes. Introduced with this week's OTA.

Blinded? No. But if something is 95% good, and 5% bad, I'm going to focus on the 95%, not the 5%
And the buttons might be that way on purpose, yes.
Even if not, I've found a way to use them so they always work for me (aiming for the top) so it doesn't bother me. If I had not figured that out, then I could see how it could be frustrating.

I haven't had issues with the email refreshing at all. In fact, when I'm sitting at my PC, my phone vibrates and makes a sound for new emails. I switch tabs in Firefox to Gmail and the email hasn't even shown up yet; I have to click inbox to refresh Gmail to make the email show up. My phone's email is faster than my PC's; that's how fast it is for me

As far as BT and wifi, it poorly handles the switchover. When disconnected, the attempt to reconnect does not always work, to put is simply.
The e-mail client issue is not with gmail, it is with the exchange integration on corporate accounts.

Ah yes, I have noticed that turning on wifi sometimes it just sits there and doesn't connect until I open up wifi settings. Definite bug.
Oh, exchange. Yeah, I have heard exchange is pretty bad on the N1 (or non-existant without the file from the dev forum?). I don't use it so I can't comment. But supposedly, there will be a Nexus One Enterprise edition with full Exchange support, and a physical keyboard So maybe this one is not aimed at people who rely on it.

Cool thing about Android and this phone: all of the above mini-bugs can and IMO will be fixed. Something which you cannot say for most phones out there. That's why I love it - devs can do almost anything they want with it. Makes me go back to the list of smartphones behind this: If you had a problem you had to get used to it - so I think we all should give the guys working on the N1 a break - I mean we got an OTA upgrade LESS than a month after the phone went on the market which gave us multi-touch. So most of the bugs do exist but they are minor when compared to most of the mobile market and IMO Google is committed to fix them.

Ive had the Droid and N1 side by side which is when I realized its a design flaw or OS issue.
Both the RGB trackball and 512mb ram were both advertised as such. Including in the initial press conference. Those arent feature requests those are hardware limitations that have yet to be addressed.
The ram limitation has at least been acknowledged.
As for the LED/trackball. Its been a feature since the G1. Theres bunches of apps including the most popular messaging app that allow you to designate different colors and flash rates for LEDs for notifications.
N1 is great but before we can move forward I would like for Google to address these pretty significant things.
MT was a major feature add. But the 3g fix is still plaguing many users.
All in all N1/Android 2.1 are fantastic. Googles lack of communication frustrates too many people.
Maybe Im too used to games but good Devs are constantly in touch with users concerning bugs and issues and are pretty consistent with "update/bug fix" information and ETAs.
The fact that google is just getting phone support hiring going is pretty silly.
Im an early adaptor so I know the risks. But this really is a barely past Beta piece of hardware. I dont see the harm in other early adapters acknowledging that.
Frankly if it wasnt for users ((and haters)) *****ing and moaning non stop I dont think MT would have been put out and a 3g fix would have been put off.
The way Googles worked recently whining gets more results then sitting and waiting.

I agree.
Heres my primary issue.
The guys at google seem like a bunch of brilliant engineers but rely rounds of feedback to get things right.
There creative and quality control people are suspect IMO.
Engineers tend to be a snobbish anti-social bunch. You dont want that leaking into consumer products. The communication pitfalls of this month highly reflect that mentality. They need another layer. They seem to desire it though so thats good.

Problems with my hd2 - Help Please

So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????

To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best

To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?

thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.

so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?

using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)

but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?

The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?

Answering a Call

Just a quick question for you guys. When I receive a phone call (full signal strength) and slide the slider accross to answer the phone there is a long pause of silence before the call actually connects. Has anyone else run into this situation?
Nexus One running stock Froyo (At&t)

yes I have this issue: I answer and cannot get an answer on the other end but I can hear them saying "hello". After a few seconds we connect and they say they never heard me say anything even though I was saying hello back.
I have two Nexus Ones: one answers calls perfectly and has great sound quality, while the other has this issue you describe, along with low call volume.
I think in my case it may be a hardware issue and I may need to send it in to be looked at. Both running on ATT although the good device is the tmobile version and the problem device is ATT 3G version.

You think it is a hardware issue? I thought that it was like that across all N1s?
There was a thread here 1-2 weeks ago about the issue and pretty much EVERYBODY had this problem.
I can't find the thread anymore but it was about the delay between answering a call and the mic becoming active ... which takes 2-5 seconds.
I just noticed the other day that the delay seems to be less if I immediately put the call on speaker.

Never encountered that issue. The other side hears me immediately as I answer. I guess this is not "across all N1s", unless someone would think my N1 is special in some way (which it isn't, and so are all the other 7 N1s of my friends at work which also happen not to have this problem - and the call quality is great on at least 3 that I checked personally).

Instantly connects on my phone as well, so it's not on all devices at least. I have one of the first batches of T-Mobile N1's btw.

What carrier are you on?

this happens to me too.its so annoying. im on att

Can't find the thread but it was pretty long.

I'm not so sure anymore. I decided since my only choice was to send it in for repair, I might as well one click root and install CM6 and see what happens. So far, I have not had the issue. It's only been three days but that's the longest this device has ever gone without having the "no connect" issue. Also, my low call volume and speaker phone volume issues are now resolved. I now find myself turning the volume down rather than up. I'll update this thread with final verdict on whether this fixes my issue.

This sounds like an att problem not a nrsux one problem

I notice this problem as well. If I wait until the call timer appears on screen before I start to talk the other party doesn't seem to notice.

I'm on T MO and never had this issue. Try the one click root and flash a different ROM. If it doesn't work send it to HTC. I recently sent mine back on a Monday and it was back that Friday.
Sent from my Nexus One

Well my issue has been resolved by switching to CM6. It's been a week now and the issue has not occurred even one time. This was an issue that used to happen to me EVERY DAY, so I am very happy that in my case it turned out to be a software issue.
When I was running 2.1 I hoped 2.2 would fix it and when it didn't I thought for sure it must be hardware. It's so nice to KNOW I can answer the phone if it rings now. Sometimes I would get an important call and I was afraid to answer the damn phone!
Thank you Mr. Cyanogen, whoever you are.

I get this issue once in a while. I think its a software issue. Over time something gets hung up somewhere.

I had a thread like this as well..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691399
For me it still happens randomly, stock 2.1 rom, stock 2.2 rom, Enom's ROM, etc...
Although I have a theory that I haven't tried to prove/disprove yet.. It seems like several times when this has happened I was holding my finger over the second mic on the back, which is naturually where my finger seems to lay when I hold the phone. Anyone else considered this? I'm thinking maybe it's throwing off the microphone trying to do noise cancellation?

Definitely not the finger covering the mic. Just tried it with/without and same result.
There was another thread that was at least 3-4 pages of people complaining about it.

Sounds more like a network issue than a hardware issue, IMO

This issue has come up recently for me and it's really annoying. I'm not sure what triggered this problem...
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve?
I've got the Rogers/AT&T N1.

Screen sensitivity & recalibration

I received a Z17 a few days ago and have really struggled with it. The phone feels really good but I am finding operation really difficult - the screen seems excessively sensitive. Most of the time when I touch or sweep the screen it register multiple touches - I hear multiple ticks. More often than not the app just tapped on opens then immediately closes (not force closing just going into background). Operating the phone is near impossible.
Is there a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity?
Short video showing the problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpP6t2C3xeM
Bee

I don't have that issue. My screen issue is that it's too dark. I have to put it over 75% brightness or higher. I have a Bluboo Maya Max that also have an LCD screen from JDI that is pretty bright at 25% level.

Brightness seems OK here - although I might not be the best person as I typically run my screens at minimum/very low brightness unless I am out in the sun.
The sensitivity issue is driving me nuts though.
Bee

Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.
Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.

Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

Yes - chrome works. You will need to get from apkmirror or similar.
Like others I tried installing google framework & play but this didn't work. Google music would run but unless you have local files you can't do anything with it.
I REALLY want to like this phone but so far it just isn't usable as a daily driver.

Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.

I have the same problem, exactly as you describe it! It appears that it's the Recent Apps button that has the problem (at least on my phone) as it is the only one that activates on its own. It also seems as if it "accumulates" button presses when left alone, so it has to "release" them during the first couple of minutes that you pick it up again. Then it is more or less ok.

Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.

I was hoping the same but this is not the case unfortunately. Problem is still there with the latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.4). It's a shame, it's a great phone otherwise but this bug is driving me mental

Not just me!
Sort of pleased someone else has the same problem! Agree that it isn't fixed in RR. Hopefully there will eventually be a solution.
I tend to deal with it by holding the phone between my two palms (i.e. holding my palm fully across the screen) for a second or so when I pick the phone up after it has been sat for a while. This seems to reduce the sensitivity (or remove static build up?) and things work normally.
Of course this shouldn't be necessary and not something you want to do when trying to answer a call.

Friend did you solve the problem with the resurrection remix? . I have seen a new update that says something about a bug I hope is the solution.
Daken.

Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

Hello Boboskins
Can't access to your video

Sadly still not found a solution. I have tried RR (up until about 10 days ago) and now using Mokee. Appreciate your comments on the recent updates - I will take a look at the log in case the latest RR updates solve anything.
EDIT: Ursus91, just took a look and Photobucket appears to have stopped allowing 3rd party views. I will upload somewhere else and update the link once I am done.

@boboskins : thanks, it should be helpful to understand the problem you encounter. I'm not sure to understand. And I'm still waiting to use the phone every day

I have the same problem

Same problème here ! When i use the phone it seems it close app or back like i hit the button. :/ Really annoying :s

Hello,
I have the same problem too. The sole solution from GeekB is to return the phone for repairing...
I have it sometimes on the left button (in the major cases), the middle button has actually no problems, the right, sometimes.
I use the middle button to come back to "the main view" (icons) and then, the left button seems going alive.
I'm not sure it is a hardware problem

Edge gestures issue
Greetings!
I've just started using Nubia Z17 Lite and found out that the specific edge gesture to control the brightness level doesn't work on my unit. Does anyone know if this is a bug that can be resolved by an update or did anyone have the same issue and has fixed it?
I'm quite sure the problem isn't with the hardware because other edge gestures seem to work fine.
Thanks ?

Nubia Z17 black screen
Good evening. I own a Nubia Z17 8gb ram 128gb rom and today had a problem. His screen is black and the LED on the menu button is on. It obeys no command. He did not fall, everything perfect. Could someone help me with this problem?
