[Q] Default browser developed fault with Facebook - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Last Thursday my phone developed an interesting problem. I can use swype to write texts, google, web addresses etc but if I try to post a status or comment on facebook I can only type by pressing one letter at a time. If I use swype in the normal way and select a word, it just inserts a space. I tried clearing all the cache and cookies and did a factory reset but no effect. My boyfriend has the exact same phone and does not have the problem.
I am running Froyo 2.2.2. I have not yet done a complete re-install of the OS since the problem developed but I can if anyne thinks this will help as I did it when the Froyo update arrived.
Has anyone had any experience with this problem or am I better off just going to T-Mobile with my phone.
Thanks

T-mob MDA Pro - losing data and general weirdness!

I've had this problem occur a few times now, and in both circumstances, it's resulted in the loss of data, either composed TXT messages or e-mails (very, VERY annoying) So hopefully someone knows what maybe causing this:
The first time it happened, i was composing an e-mail (hotmail), and 1/2 way through composing the email, the screen went brighter (as if it was charging!), i ignored that, thinking i was just imagining it, then when i came to send the e-mail, every time i pressed send (either via the softkey, or by using the screen) it just did nothing... So i decided to save the email in the drafts folder, and to reload 'messaging' and trying again.
When i went back to the today, screen, the fonts had turned white, and everytime i tried to load ANY app, it came up with popups, telling me that the program was unsigned :/ Also, it was acting as if the shift button was pressed, because if i tried to select ONE email/txt, to open it, it just selected a whole bunch instead, and refused to open them!
After a soft reset, i could use the device as normal, but ANNOYINGLY, the saved e-mail in the drafs folder, had magically disappeared.... REALLY, REALLY ANNOYING!
The same thing happened, when i was composing a TXT message as well... refuses to send, then goes weird.. reboot........ all gone!
I don't have any non-standard software installed, and i remember encountering this problem on my previous MDA Pro.......
I'd be VERY grateful if someone could post any theorys as to what the hell is doing this.... i thought it might be a low-memory issue, but i've checked, and it all seems fine.
Thanks in advance (sorry for the length of this post!)
My specs:
(Latest T-Mobile ROM)
ROM: 1.20.32 WWE
Eadio: 1.06.00
extROM: 1.20.120 WWE
*bump*
Anyone else had a similar problem?
Im noticing that when the backlight goes to full brightness, thats the first sign of impending doom!
Really annoying me now!
Never had that. Try hardreset, not install anything, test it a lot and if it still happens, return your unit.

HD2 freezes when entering text + SMS problems

I'm on ROM 1.48.409.1 (71294) NOR (Norwegain)
I'm experiencing two bad issues that really annoy me. IS there a fix (I tried to search but couldn't find these... maybe they are here, in case I apologize).
1) After using my phone for a while (let's say I'm chatting in Palringo or typing SMS), SlideIT will freeze up and I have to reset the device (usually Windows will freeze up at this point, so I will not be able to do anythning but a soft reset using the red button on the back).
I originally thought it was a SlideIT error, but after using the built-in keyboard for a while, it seems to be a general problem, not a SlideIT specific one.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
2) Regarding SMS (I will update to ROM 1.66 tonight, hopefully that will fix it).
I have two problems. ONe being that once in a while, the HD2 will stop sending messages out. They will hang in my outbox for a long time. Clicking them and trying "Resend message" does not work. However, once I reset the device and send another text message (strangely enough, doing a forward doesn't work, either), the once that are in the outbox will also get sent out. This is of course very frustrating.... any fix? Will the 1.66 rom fix this?
I also have a problem sending SMS when the threaded conversation is long. Then I have to click "Menu - Close" before I can activate the input field.
Any help on the above issues are greatly appreciated.
OK, since posting I have resolved my issues.
They boil down to two things: The SMS feature was updated using the new ROM (1.66.xxx) from HTC.
The crashing issues were caused by SlideIT. I don't know if there's an issue with the Norwegian version of the HTC HD2 or if it is a general problem, but I cannot recommend anyone running Norwegian HTC HD2 to use SlideIT at the moment. I have taken it off my system, upgraded my ROM, and have been running perfectly stable for two weeks.

Facebook phone number issue.

I searched around and found a few people that had this issue, but not with the Continuum any fixes I found/suggested, I have tried. I just recently rooted and loaded clean DL17 ROM. Everything is working great, phone seems to be little bit more responsive and more snappy. Now before rooting and flashing I never had this issue. So it could be a newer issue or older and I'm just now experiencing it. If I receive a text from anyone that has their number on their Facebook profile the format comes up (+1-###-###-####), if I reply to the message they won't get it. I have tried deleting all conversations in messaging and fixed the number format to (###-###-####)and initiating a conversation. Once I get a reply number format changes back to the +1 format. I scoured google and it seems some people just started having this issue Monday and I also read this is an older Facebook issue. Apparently the +1 is a country code, I have tried creating a phone contact and linking with the Facebook contact, as well as setting certain numbers as default with no luck. No matter what it always defaults back to +1 format. I can call people using that format no problem. I don't think the new ROM has anything to do with it but could be. I more or less think its just a coincidence this just happened to start on the week I decided to root and flash my phone. If anyone has any ideas or info. on this please share. Thanks
PS: The two buddies who numbers I'm experiencing this with have Droids. They don't have an issue. My number shows up on their phone in regular format ###-###-#####.
+1
I had the same problem with regular texts. It is the +1 that is doing it. I had to edit all my numbers in google voice. I resorted to going to Verizon and having them monitor my tests. It is device specific on their end.

Lost all messages

Hi Guy's
Been a while since ive been on here, but i've had my HTC Desire Z on 2.2 for a while now, well since i first got it, and had no issues what so ever, but walking home today from work, i press the home button to show all the screens, to go onto my messages widget, its the default HTC one that fils the screen, and it showed i had one message. However the screen/widget refreshed itself and started to load up the messages again, but went completely blank, opened up the messages app, and nothing in there, no drafts either.
So restarted the phone and no luck either. I have found one/two other threads on here with the same issue, but no-one seems to have come across a fix then, but that was a while ago, so has anyone seen this issue, been able to bring back their messages since?
Also to note, i havent modded my android in any way, nor rooted, nor use any backup software just not had time to look into it all, although i really want to.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Dean
i had the same problem and lost my messages twice,
this seems to be an android problem
only thing i could do is install sms backup restore app and backup my messages daily.
also did you update to 1.82 cause this seems to have solved the problem for me but i am keeping my fingers crossed.

[Q] Virus on LG Quantum?

So I need some advice here. My fiance and I have the LG Quantum, and just her phone had some strange symptoms yesterday.
We woke up and saw her phone had some unsuccessfully sent text messages. The messages were sent at 4:15AM (we were both asleep), were sent to strange people (not phone numbers, one of the people it was attempted to be sent to was [email protected], another was @law, another was 77, etc.), and the message was just complete gibberish. The only thing that made some sense was it had a link to urbanspoon.com in it (which is a website that her or I have never used, and there isn't an urbanspoon app on WP7 so it wouldn't be that).
Then once we arrived at work, she had an undeliverable message in her inbox at our corporate exchange mail, and it turns out at 1:30am or so her phone attempted to send some strange gibberish emails too. Here was the contents of the email:
http://m.yahoo.com/?.tsrc=3Dattcf&.intl=3DUS11qp011[:]:-]zq,.=0D=
20=0D,[email protected]=0D,029opw anbzkqzbZ\=0DAs=0DZmlirwyw=0DSent=

=0D/'sz,p=0D!0202!=0DA m.!! my zls2wzq . K!4!502/!1102,[=A51=
Then also her internet explorer had a bunch of tabs opened that she had never visited. One was an urbanspoon website. Two were the same tab, which was a microsoft recommended apps page, and one was a website attempting to go to wap.cingular.com/wap2. Then there was a shortcut saved to her desktop for one of the microsoft websites.
This is really strange behavior and in all of my searching I haven't been able to find anything? Any suggestions? We are going to hard reset it tonight after saving all of the pictures to the skydrive. I will appreciate any feedback anyone in this great community can provide (and I confirmed, nothing like this has even happened to my phone).
edit -> I doubt it matters, but both her and my phone are running the small security fix version after nodo.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Didn't even know there was a security update after nodo... Never heard of those symptoms you describe...
I'd be hard resetting... Way too strange to be fixable...
