sorry but im glad im not the only one too lol dont no how bad it is either but i dont want pesonal details, crad details etc took from my phone
can anyone help us?
I can confirm that none of you have a virus. Don't read a virus report for a PC and think it's the same on windows mobile. They're VERY different beasts.
There's very few viruses out there that affect WM, in relation to PCs.
If it makes you feel better, there is AV software out there. Uncle Googles can help you get that.
You've got a software problem. It's probably something that you installed that caused a problem, or something you uninstalled but it didn't uninstall correctly.
viruses on mobiles are incredibly rare, almost always only seen as proof of concept. if the phone is working fine its pretty safe to just turn off error reporting and forget about it. (I always do, and never give it a second thought)
if you really want to hunt down the culprit try removing programs you have added one at a time till it stops.
thanks guys...thats a big relief..i'm brand new to WM hence the apprehensions...i do have a 'F-secure' AV carried it on when i dumped my N96 .
I've had the services.exe error a few times. But only get it when sending texts. The text still sends, so don't really know what it's moaning about.
I'm only running apps that came with the phone and also HTC official hotfixes. No deep tinkering yet for me.
I think its related to using the animated weather wallpaper, which I've since turned off and not got the error since.
Got it also everytime when I start up my phone. Doesn't seem to affect the performance of it, services.exe runs on normally in the background. But it is kinda annoying...
EDIT: To "solve" it I just switched off the error reporting in Settings, System. I seemed to have been blind, I think...
thanks alot guys, really appreciate the replies,
im glad to here it isnt a virus as i had personal details stored on phone,
im not to bothered about the error reporting so ill probably just turn it off
once again many thanks
It could be an app that you installed, as I'm noticing it too sometimes. I more often notice it when after installing, it prompts me to reset my device.
I've had it go away for good after uninstalling the problem app.
I was just curious to see if anyone else was having this problem. I have searched and found no threads that were describing exactly what was happening to me. My signal just drops out completely and doesn't come back for a full 5 minutes sometimes. I'm pretty sure it's not the root doing it either, because it was happening before I rooted it. I figured the root would solve it, but it hasn't. If anyone has any ideas, please share. I'm going to try a different radio right now and I'll share with you the results, but ideas are still appreciated.

Definitely your radio. Flash the latest radio and see if that improves it.
Sent from my HoneySmartDroid Port using XDA Premium.
I tried a new radio yesterday, for pretty much all day. It didn't solve the problem, but I'm going to try all the radios I can. If anybody else has another suggestion besides radios let me know please.
Okay, sorry it took me so long to respond. I have tried almost all the radios and none of them have solved this problem. I know it's not a T-mobile issue either because I get great service at my house with every other phone except this one. It's looking like a hardware issue, but I was wondering if anybody had any input on it.

I would send it back to tmobile, tell them about it and send her back, you might want to remove soff though
Its not new and I didn't buy it from T-mobile. I guess I can try sending it back to HTC though. I did call them and see if it was still under the 1 year. Thankfully the previous owner didn't register it. It's now registered under my name and I have a backup phone, so I guess I will do that. The charger port is loose and needs to be fixed anyway. Thank you everyone for your input.
Like the topic says, I am having major issues with SMS messages. I am not receiving all messages that are being sent to me, and people aren't getting all of mine. It's not an issue I can reliably reproduce, it's just very sporadic. I'm on AT&T and I've called them a few times and every time they tell me they corrected something and the issue should be resolved, but I'm still having problems. Is anyone else having issues like this? I am starting to think it's a problem with the phone and not the network, which would be a damn shame because I REALLY like this thing.

I'm on AT&T as well and was having a similar issue but was when I changed my default SMS app, such as Evolve/Go/etc.. I don't really like the stock app. Found Textra and has been working with no issues.
Are you completely stock... app/rom/etc?
Which APN are you using?

Stock ROM but not kernel, but that shouldn't affect it I wouldn't think. Still using the stock messenger app, I never liked using 3rd party apps for that stuff. I'm gonna go and get a new SIM card tomorrow I think and try that. If that doesn't work, I might call Oneplus and try to exchange the phone.
Edit: Tried Textra at yours and my friend's recommendation and I am never going back. It is vastly superior to the stock messaging app. It remains to be seen if it solves my problem though.

I set my own based on info I found online because I couldn't get LTE to work otherwise. What do you recommend?

I understand the 3rd party stuff.
Kernel shouldnt.
I use ATT Phone APN, I get LTE though I still have an iPhone 6 imei registered with my number, but the settings look pretty much the same.
If haven't already try dirty flashing Oxygen... 2.1.2? Doubt it will change anything as it working sometimes...but never know.
Also a semi last resort maybe factory reset and flash but don't sign into your main Google account to make sure it doesn't pull any settings or anything so it's like a brand new phone. Confirm ATT Phone APN is set and do some testing...
I noticed some xposed stuff, while unlikely maybe there could be something there that could be conflicting with it??
If none of that works, not sure...
I would try a family member/friend's sim first as you know they aren't having issues with it or their service. Then depending on that, a new sim.
I've had similar issues before. I was running on OOS, rooted, with XPOSED installed. I noticed that it had something to do with some XPOSED modules. I believe PowerNap Xposed was behind it. I had to flash back to stock since wiping data, caches, and etc won't fix it for me.

Welp, I do have power nap installed. Seeing as though I have noticed absolutely zero improvement in battery life with it I have no problem ditching it. But you don't think uninstalling it will be enough?

Well I uninstalled it and it is entirely possible my problem is solved, to which I owe you a debt of gratitude. I haven't had an issue with SMS since doing it so keeping the fingers crossed.
Hey, so lately I've been experiencing incredibly fast battery drain, I am confused of why this is happening, I rooted my phone and tried doing some things to improve it, but that didn't help. When I first got my phone the battery was extremely good. I've just recently flashed stock firmware but it's still terrible, does anyone know any tips or tricks, maybe the root of my problem? I'll drop some screenshots as well.

Try running "diagnose" under Smart Doctor and see if it comes up with a misbehaving app.

You should try update system apps from dedicated menu.
This does not look THAT bad. Really.
Snapchat... Facebook Messenger... Facebook dedicated app.
Also that battery monitor crap. Anything else similar to that installed?
These are true battery suckers, also try dealing with QuickMemo+ app, as previously mentioned.

You've got a point, will remove one of the battery monitors. I seem to be some improvement after the QuickMemo+ trick.
Although I really don't know any good Facebook & Facebook Messenger replacements. Those I tried were just not giving me full performance and they're not looking good.
Isn't there a way to disable Quickmemo+ without root ?

I'm experiencing the similar starting this month, and seems like the battery drain comes with heating surrounding the power button, are you seeing the same symptom?

Did you try LG hidden menu trick? To do that, you need to type *#546368#*870# in dialer and you'll see a hidden menu. Then, tap on SVC Menu > LDB > Untick "enable" (both options needs to be unticked) close the menu and restart it. Most of the users says that this method is also useable, you can give it a try.
Hey,i have been experiencing the same thing.For me is like android system and android os and phone idle eat battery as the same time as the screen.So that means i am using the phone and three things at the same time are eating the battery.I went down from 5 hrs sot to 3 and a half.I have done a lot of things like the hidden menu,the quicknote,conserve memory thing.I don't know why it does that and the phone is really heating up.I have not experience this level of heat ever on my g6.I use the h870 europe with january security patch.
You all call this bad backup?? Plz get your phone tested. See my phones's backup.. this backup with no in between charge
sounds like a rogue app, install better battery stats from play store and check results (it will ID apps chowing battery).
I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, with the screen and apps displaying kind of sideways? i updated my phone and had it rooted, then i unrooted. i updates to the latest firmware. i posted here a screenshot to show what I'm talking about. i checked out the screenshot on my laptop to make sure i wasn't tripping. any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry buddy what am I looking at? You may be tripping or I may be blind. Probably the latter.
If it's a screen misalignment then surely a screenshot won't show it.
Looks perfect from the screenshot.
I too don't see anything wrong here. Was about to say spotify looks a bit crooked but just checked that's the way it is. Try restarting and putting it in rice
Also looks ok to me...
my bad... it must be my phone then or my eyes are really that bad ?
