Is anyone else having problems with their Qtek 8500, where SMS and/or email messages are received, but with no notification, regardless of selected profile? If you go to "Messaging", the number of messages are correctly displayed adjacent to the appropriate type(s) of message(s).
Classic example for me: the phone is on the table next to me; a little while later, I open the phone to find that I received subsequent SMS and/or email messages but was not alerted to their arrival.
Usually a set of soft reboots in quick succession will restore the alerting.
To make sure this behavior is not related to the various "unsigned" utilities I choose to run, I hard reset the phone back to the original Qtek settings and used the phone for less than a day before the problems started again.
I read somewhere the older STAR100 models (iMate Smartflip, Qtek 8500) had some bug in the deep-sleep mode, and I'm wondering if the bug has not been completely fixed.
reinstall the ROM instead of hard reset
Or flash with official 3.6.261.0 Qtek ROM

Will this work? Is there a chance that this problem occurs due to an installation fault?

Where can I get it? Here in Greece we are still on 3.6.251.0.
Actualy I am using also 3.6.251.0, which I found on expansys (link in the forums). I tried to google 3.6.261.0, but all the results are some russian forums. So I guess that the ROM will be custom, or it'll be a only Russian language (which is not good for me LOL).
Erofich: can you tell us where did you get it, what are the languages in there, and what are the changes? Perhaps could you post also radio versions,...........?
My_Immortal: if you don't want to flash, get app called DontForget - http://magazin.softimage.cz/?page_id=26
Whenever you miss a call/SMS/email/....., after desired amount of time it lets you know that you are missing something (LOL). Well just try it
It is an official 3.6.261.0 russian qtek rom with also english and other european languages and t9:
http://www.myqtek.ru/downloadRom.as....30_QtekRUS_Ship.exe Russia, 26 February 2007
Sounds good, thanks for the link. However I am not able to download it, as it says "Only Brightpoint authorized original products are supported by this site. Contact your place of purchase for ongoing support of your device" (typical, damn).
Do you know what are the changes, or can you post the changes or updates included in this rom?
You can download it from rapidshare
http://rapidshare.com/files/25977944/817887-ruu_star100_3.6.261.0_02.67.30_qtekrus_ship.exe
LOL Thanks a lot, I found a rapidshare link few minutes before you posted the answer.
However, I think that in this ROM are no changes from 251.
See it yourself:
SK_QtekRUS_3.6.261.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 21:54
SK_QtekEUR_3.6.251.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 18:21
So I checked the content.. Well there are some differences (995). But I think that there are probably no changes at all. Maybe language files, dunno..
Does anybody know, what are the changes (if there are any) the 3.6.261 ROM?
edit: I checked just 20 lines, and as it seems now, only dates (time) are different in there.. I didn't check more, though.

I have Don't Forget installed. But since there's no notification on the phone,
there's nothing to notify me about, so it doesn't work.
Thanks for the advice though!

Hm, then try to backup your data (ie with Sprite Backup), hard reset your phone, and instal only few apps a day. Then the problem may be easier to locate..
i had the exact same problem. turns out the culprit IS the program called don't forget. i whipped it out of my startup folder and rebooted, and sent myself a text, and my phone buzzed for the first time in weeks. I had it installed to stop the led from blinking. Guess ill have to find some other solution...
Found Possible Solution!
I had this problem (no SMS notification at all) despite all correct settings.
I had made the following registry tweak, and this was the culprit.
Registry Tweak to Hide "Outlook" in Messaging:
Rename the "ActiveSync" folder.
Example,
Before: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\ActiveSync
After: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\xActiveSync
I reverted the above change (i.e. renamed the folder back to ActiveSync), and lo and behold, it fixed the problem.

I really want to use this program. But it just wont work reliably on my Imate JAM. I dont know if it is the JAM or the Arabic External ROM but every version I try I end up very frustrated and uninstall.
List of problems include:
1. Selecting an option eg: ringtone, saving, exiting, then when I return it is blank. I think this is an Arabic External ROM problem as I have this with other software. The solution with those to select the drop down menu option 2 or 3 times.
2. Saving then being asked to save again and again and again. Problem with Beta?
3. Changing the name of a mode, then going into the save loop (see 2). Canceling and finding the name replaced with junk.
I finally got some kind of usage with the free version after very patient tapping (3 or 4 times) on each option. But I cant play the MP3 ring tones. Thats why I tried the Beta. Is this just me?
Sorry but you're talking about PocketZenPhone ? :?:
I was just trying to delete this post and re-write it in the proper forum when you replied, so I cant delete it anymore But yes. I am just about to give up. I see you have an MDA compact. Are you having these problems? Do other people have them?
Ooops
No problem with PocketZenPhone on my Jam.
But I didn't test the last beta version

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?

runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks

Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
I have a Sprint Touch Pro, and I "think" this started after I upgraded to the latest official ROM 2.01.651.6 (I don't remember if this happened before).
When phone numbers show up in a message (e-mail or SMS), they are automatically highlighted as hyperlinks. But clicking on them launches the link as "sms:xxx-xxx-xxxx". Clicking through the security warning, it opens in Opera, which then shows an obvious error.
I want phone numbers to launch my dialer, so I can easily dial them. So, is there any way so that phone numbers are treated as "tel:" links instead?
maybe...
This situtation sounds to me like a bad flash or... you just need to HARD RESET your phone once to get all the configurations to work correctly. Let me know if this helps.
I have both shipped roms downloaded if you think you may have a bad download too, I can send these to you so let me know...
I have searched on phone issues and even messagebank... There was a post that seemed similar but not the same.
Unfortunately I can't say just where this issue came in; I only noticed it yesterday and, as mentioned in another thread, I have been trying out ROM flashing. My GUESS would be it has to do with flashing 'modem_CWM_I9300XXDLH7' but that is purely a guess because it is call related.
I have flashed a stock ROM, GT-I9300_XSA_1_20120710170916_9xjds9h0pm to install an Aussie ROM (phone from Kogan and was German model) and more recently flashed 'Kernel_CM10_20120820_Official_CWM' in preparation for trying a JB ROM. (I am planning on using 'I9300XXBLH4_Jelly_Bean_4.1.1_Clean_Stock_Rom_Nandroid_Backup' for a first try)
SO, phone seems to be working well; I managed to crash it (stuck on Samsung screen) but have backups that brought me back up to where I was without too many issues.
But, I noticed yesterday I got a Telstra Messagebank notification for a missed call/voice message. It says it came from +101 but when I click the notification it takes me to a Telstra recording saying the number is not connected. This used to work. Dialling 101 works just fine and I have looked to try to locate where the phone has decided MB is now +101 but can't find it.
It's not a biggie, and I figure maybe I need to call Telstra to get their info resent or something, but it is a little annoying to have to dial each time instead of just press the notification.
Any ideas of what to try? I'm about to flash the JB ROM so if that fixes it I will be back (hopefully without dramas ) soon. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
XXBLH4 is a really old JB leak, flash XXDLH8 instead (DLH9 is newer but has a keyboard bug)
As for your problem, I don't know what to tell you but your carrier won't be able to help you as you have unofficial firmware on your phone and that may be the reason and they will only be able to assist you in regards to the official Telstra fw.
Is it really that big of a deal to dial 101?

that is a strange one. It seems as though it's trying to dial 101 as an international call (with that plus in front of it making it a call to USA number 01), when it should have picked it up as +61 101.
Out of curiosity, what does it come up with when you tap and hold on the SMS and go to "View Message Details"?
@nodstuff - The reason for I9300XXBLH4_Jelly_Bean was because, a. I found it and the file date was something like 25/8/12, and because the description said it has been cleaned up and all bloatware removed. I don't recall seeing XXDLH8 for download but I am new here... I was thinking along the lines of getting something known and stable for my first JB flash.
@Dinty - I don't get a 'View Message' option on a long tap, I get a menu with, Call +101, Send Msg, Edit numbr, Add to Contacts, Send Nmbr, Add to Reject list, Delete.
Further info just noticed - older call from MB (30/8 - prior to new Modem flash) came in as Int'l M'Bank with #101# so somewhere the MB number has altered.
I doubt Telstra will have an issue with the FW etc. It isn't their phone. I bought outright and would be speaking to a rep - IIRC when I got my Moto Defy from the dealer a couple of years back they had to send me a txt which I saved and it set up the Telstra info on the phone. Might be mistaken in memory of that though...
@nodstuff - do you have a recommendation for a XXDLH8 ROM to flash? I'm looking for stable with some optimisation and as clean of standard apps as possible. I've got an Apps backup in Titanium Pro that I figure I can use to put my new apps back.
Also, is the Keybd issue with LH9 itself or just with some ROM's?
thanks for the help...

Well don't flash XXBLH4 so, its very buggy and not stable.
XXDLH8 is very stable and pretty bug free.
There are a few downloads for it (cwm flashable, Odin or an ota package. I suggest cwm or Odin method as the ota method is quite tricky.)

I believe you're talking about the automatic set-up service. I think this is what you mean:
http://www.configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp
Not sure it will have any effect on that messagebank issue, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try!

Thanks for the link - that looks what I originally had to do over the phone, but then I didn't have a Telstra account set up at that point.Didn't work unfortunately. le sigh!
So, I am now the owner of a JellyBean phone, all working nicely and with my apps installed again. All went smoothly and I just chose my purchased and download apps from my titanium backup and Voila!!!
I took the advice and installed GT-I9300_WanamLite.XXDLH8.V3.0.RC4.NO-WIPE - I thought about the DLH9 version of it but saw a note in the thread about keybd issues, so, taking the advice above I DL'd the DLH8 version.
Only thing I have noticed so far is it seems a bit slow on the USB charging. Once it's at 100% I will disconnect and see if maybe power is draining too fast, then look at ways to improve battery.
Just did some trials of the MB issue and noticed something odd - if I try to create a Contact I am unable to enter numbers in the name field. I also tried to set up my mobile banking and using the app provided by the bank I cannot use numbers for my ID, even though it is an 8 number ID. The Keybd simply will not change to numbers until I go to the PW line - is this the keybd error you mentioned as being present in DLH9, nodstuff??
Hm... so I took a chance and flashed Wanamlite's keybd fix; the thread says it is for DLH9 but I figured what the heck, if it fails the phone I can easily reflash the ROM.
Seems to have worked. Gonna leave a comment over there about it because I seem to have noticed something not mentioned by others.
