[Q] Won't download Text message photo - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using Droid Eris
KaosFroyo v 39 -- flashed w/ v39-gps-fix-signed.zip (thank you Kellinwood - it worked like a charm) to fix the gps (as name denotes) & browser issues
see thread here for link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10185051#post10185051
My problem:
I recieve a text message with a photo attached & it does not download the photo. There is a button to press on the screen to download (says 'download') when I press it, the button says 'downloading' but does not download the photo.
I dialed *228 (long press menu to pull up keyboard, pressed option 1, redid & pressed option 2). No effect.
All other texting works properly with text only, though I just tried to send a picture via share> Messaging & it will not send. It is eternally in a state of 'sending'
Also, on the home page (when locked) I chose to show the phone & messaging shortcuts (to go straight to either) & the messaging link is broken
I have searched for the solution & cannot find it. Also, being a new user, this is my first post, so any other known issues needed to fix with this version would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

When did the issue first appear? Was it after you flashed the GPS fix? Or did it work after the GPS fix then stop working a short time after? First, check the FAQ on the OP for KaosFroyo. As far as I know kaosfroyo doesn't have mms issues, but then again I haven't used it in quite a while. If nothing is mentioned there, then your best bet would be to wipe data/dalvik and reflash the ROM. Then test it out.

The same thing happened to me. I had flashed a Froyo Rom and mms wouldn't work for any of them. I'm stuck with Stock Sense which isn't horrible, but I like the perks of Froyo.
I haven't found a fix for our "unlucky" phones and I fear I never will. Fortunately, I won a Droid Incredible for a great price on ebay last night and I'll be leaving the Eris behind soon. I've had a lot of trouble with it and I want a device that at least I can fix its problems.
You could try replacing apns. I don't know the specific method, but just search for it and you'll find it. Just make sure you find the right one for the Eris and Verizon.

Try turning off widow if you have it on... just a thought

Phone app won't end without a soft reset.

Hi sorry if this has been posted before, I couldn't find any relevant info on the boards...
The problem is with the phone app. Once the device has been used to make a telephone call, the phone app stays running and will not end (i'm using the switcher) unless I perform a soft reset with the stylus.
If I make say three phone calls I end up with 3 instances of the phone app running and not being able to end them?
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Dean
Do you really end up with three copies running, or are you speculating? That would be very strange. It is normal for it to remain running, but I've never seen more than one copy running. There is no way to close it, even with a task switcher (have tried three).
If i am not mistaken your using WM2003 4.00.05
If this is the case it happened to me on hourly basis so i downgraded to 4.00.01 & it works well.
I think its a bug and sometime you see the call meter still running but the actuall call has ended more u cant stop it but by soft resetting.
If ure using this version of WM2003 then your only soltion change the ROM version
:wink:
I have had my TMo xda for almost a year now, and have used every version of PPC2002 and WM2003 to date, and in every version I have noticed that you cannot close the phone app as well, but I have never noticed multiple instances simultaneously, except that the call log window does sometimes show as an additional instance. So to see two instances of the phone app running is not unusual. I have never seen more than two instances running though, and closing the call log does seem to close the second instance.
David
thanks for the replies...
You are correct about there being only 2 instances of the phone app running, there are never more than that.
i'm using the developers rom v1.1 r 4.21.00
The phone instances simply wont end using either the task manager or switcher. The phone shows the last number I dialed, which I can't get rid of. also to the left of the contact name just above the phones erase button, there is a little "m".?
I have the developers rom 1.2 and I can close the phone app ok, I just go to the switchers "lightening bolt" thing in the right hand top corner, click, click and its gone.
The "m" you see is the confirmation that you are calling the number which appears in the 'Mobile field of the contact record. The last number called cannot be removed without 3rd party software. Nothing to worry about and probably not worth fixing.
Um, you know you can turn the phone app off by tapping on the signal strength meter or pressing and holding the red ph button ?
Hi, yes I did know you could turn the phone of this way, but the phone wouldn't actually end.
Last night I upgraded to the v1.2 rom, problem had dissapeared. Thanks for your help.

NIKE - UPDATE - Myn’s Warm Eclair - [RLS1 - 06/17/2010] An Accelerated Experience

All credits goes to myn. Here is the original thread [ROM] Myn’s Warm Eclair - [RLS1 - 06/17/2010] - An Accelerated Experience
Confirm working good on my NIKE100 on ext2 SD, so withour flashing, i can use Winmo n Android on the same device.
How to:
1. Download from the original thread, i'm using NoMORootFS for SD with 240x320 version
2. Backup! than, clear whatever "android" stuff you have from sdcard (I dont want it to get caught up in the install) especially your andboot folder
3. Extract contents of downloaded zip to temporary directory
4. Copy extracted /andboot folder to the ROOT of your SDCard
5. copy zimage to /andboot folder with this version (credit to mblaster) get in from http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday (i'm using zimage with vibration on my nike100 with zimageNike name)
6. overwrite default.txt with attached default.txt
7. Run HaRET, than hit “run” to launch android
8. Press and hold center of dpad after hitting "run" and follow the directions in the NoMoRootFs menu system
9. Install android system
10. Quit installer
11. Booting into Android
12. After you can see android logo wait about 15 minute
13. then shutdown and open up your phone again (should boot into winmo)
14. start haret and boot again to android
15. your android is ready to use
Working: Call, sms, ring, data (although there seems to be a little problem)
Not Working: Bluetooth, camera
Great job and a good tutorial buddy, I defenitly gonna give it a try.
ok, try it and share here, maybe it can make us nike user more familiar with android
Nice... But!
Nice one there. There is seems problem with the hardware keypad. The hardawre keypad works though keypad #1 when pressed twice sleeps nike. Maybe the said button is mapped for that function. Better if we can bring it back to the original function. Thanks again.
uhm...
Hey,
I copied everything onto my SDcard, into the /andboot directory
Haret.exe starts, holding the D-pad...Linux starts etc, but...then it hangs with an error "sh: 2 unkown operand
losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file or directory
Failed
Failed to reach system.img on SD card"
And from there on every button I press gives my weird syntax...
anybody knows what I'm doing wrong..?
Installed on ext2 partitions, now take some tests on my nike 100.
Problems I found:
- On boot I have Voice Search not responding.
- If I try to set mms settings the apn disappear (i use Wind in Italy), setting only apn and name work (i'm syncronizing with gmail)
Thanks a lot for this tutorial!
Many thanks for this post.
Three questions:
You are using kernel with vibration for niki200/300 on your nike100 and your screen dont freeze?
What's the problem with data connections?
It's android 1.6?
Regards!

what do you mean by keypad #1? hardware numeric and alphabetically works on me.
and the android device keypad is different with winmo, in android there are back, menu, end key (CMIIW). so we need to map our device keypad to android one

The APN editing issue is caused from the paid market enabler script that is running as a service. It is trumping changes made to the APN list.
I am going to talk to dzo about making the same changes he made in the Donut ril for me. This should hopefully eliminate this issue.
The Voice Search Wait/Force close on start is a known issue and unfortunately in this build is more of an annoyance. For now just click the "Wait" button.
Okay, tested it today almost the whole day, started with full battery at 08.00, very surprised about the graphics and the response of my Niki, lot's of stuff are working, internet connection worked, hardware keypad was working normally, Gmail working, incoming and outgoing call's working, sms working.
Only tested those things because it's a phone and those things are the most important for a phone (my opinion).
Try to acces my sim-card to add contacts but wasn't able to do that.
Okay at 19.45 my battery is empty, be aware my battery is 3 years old.
Conclusion, for me it is a perfect working phone, sometimes you need a little bit patience to let the phone do his job.
Thanks youngsien

I've tried after I read this reply , ( try to hold d-pad or oress it twice)...
It's still not work.
maybe we need the file = "system.img") that not provided on sdcard.

hey, the creator Myn is here, is it ok if i post your build in here? i hope nike user can has some fun to get android run on their device.
Can you please talk to dzo to make bluetooth enable for nike too? i think this is the minus one for nike user, kaiser and polaris even can use wifi and bluetooth but for us nike user, we don't have wifi but we can't use bluetooth also
will wait for your next release. thanks.

no, system.img is created in /andboot when installing, no need to copy file "system.img". here is the step i usually use. when starting haret and hit run, lot of text (linux boot style) come out. ok from now press and hold center d-pad, after some page it will halt with the message "press center d-pad to....." then release your 1st d-pad hold then press and hold once again. you should see some weird code on your screen but that's ok. after that you will come to installer screen to make system.img and data.img on your sd.
hope you understand, sorry for my english
thanks

Darn.
I think it actually already has CDMA functionality since this came from the Vogue thread, but I'm not unsure as to how to get the default.txt file right so that it will boot. Does anybody know of a guide to the the android linux boot commands? It's possible that the devices differ enough to require some different commands.

theoritically is right, but i don't know about that, do you ever asked mblaster on his nike myn donut thread?he is more master in this, because he can compile zimage kernel for nike. maybe he know the answer.
Hi all, I've tested yesterday and this morning...
I found it unstable, after I have set the apn I tried to sync with gmail accont, but never work (always "problem with the sync" reported).
Sending and receiving sms work, make calls work difficult, sometimes i heard but on the other side doesn't hear me.
I try to reinstall and don't set the APN, but anything solved.
Last, after reinstall, when I call it goes to sleep mode but no more wake up (using camera button twice, or other buttons).
I'll do more test, hope this can help.
Bye
p.s. sorry, I speak english only a little bit
Hi all,
Nice build...
Anyway, although it's very hard to resist, imho it's a good idea to wait a few more days until Myn releases the next Versions. If you follow the original Thread in the Vogue forum, you'll see that there are still a lot of problems even for the Vogue Users. For that reason it's probably a good idea to wait until the big one's have been fixed...

[Q] Text Messaging Problem - (Text Input)

I am having issues when I try to text message. Sometimes when I start typing it doesn't input anything into the text box. The keyboard shows that the keys are being pressed but nothing happens. This happens a lot but its nothing that I can reproduce exactly each time. It seems random! I would say it happens about 30%-40% of the time. To fix it I have to reboot or close the messaging program and reopen it several times. Sometimes its fixed the first time and sometimes it takes 5+ times.
I am currently using the stock ROM posted by jcase along with the original kernel. However, this has happened on ALL 3 other ROMs that I have tried as well as 2 other kernels.
Any help would be appreciated!
In case your wondering! Yes, I have always done a FULL wipe when installed my ROMS!
I reverted to stock and am unrooted using the jcase guide. The texting problem is still there! Anyone else having problems?

[Q] Skype on VEGAn ROM 7

Greetings. I have searched through the forms and I have not found anything specific about this. I am currently running VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed and when I try to load Skype all I get is a splash screen and then it just hangs there. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a fix?
i am also experiencing this as well, couldnt figure out how to work around this
vegan skype issues
hi, i have also got the same issue.
i uninstalled, and reinstalled skype , but it just hangs on the splash screen.
video calling on wifi was one key feature i cant go without.
i have found on google, alot of people are having camera issues.
if i record the screen freezes, does yours do the same?
if so it might be linked to skype locking when trying to access the camera.
hopefully vegan posts a fix soon , or i may need to flash with TNT.
Ok, I have discovered something. At the very bottom of the skype screen, just before the task/home bar, there is a botton that you can barely see. If you tap the button, you'll get skype to continue loading. I can't post images on the forums yet, so I can't show you what I'm talking about. I hope this helps.
I had skype running fine on stock ROM...
Once TnT upgraded to 1.2-4349 it hangs on the log-in ... have been intermitenly searching for a solution and haven't found one yet...I'lll see if I can see the "button" mentiond in this thread by tempis
update.....
After spinning for ever @login screen trying to log in, the back button worked ...I hit sign in, got the whir...but now all I have is a black screen and something about cannot connect to terms and conditions.....
ADDED: I realize your all using different ROMS....but I updated skype to Skype 1.0.0.983. and it now works again as it did before the firmware upgrade from Viewsonic/TnT...

No Data fix:
Download smanager (Free app)
It opens to a message..just hit OK
Then theres a weird view.. Look down at the bottom right corner, theres a menu button.
Select New Script
Name it something youll remember like "Radioreboot"
next have a menu again..choose smeditor
Type in Killall rild and Save changes
now go back to the weird view again and scroll down until you see the name you gave it
Open it and check su and boot buttons
reboot
When it reboots, you"ll get the SU notification...OBVIOUSLY grant
PROFIT
The THANKS button is to the right...LOL
Same here
With every Lollipop ROM that I flash on my VS985, no matter what build, I get the call forwarding bug. I saw that someone said to disable either Google Talk or Voice. I have neither installed. Is it because I'm using an AT&T Sim or is it something else? Data works even if the bug is popping up. All I have to do is dismiss it. It happens when I switch to the correct APN. There's one APN that cell service works but data doesn't and that's the one with the pta APN. If I switch back to the one for ATT Phone the data comes on but the error message pops up. If I turn Wi-Fi on, the error message stops. Not sure if its my fault or it's a known bug. Love the ROMs. Keep up the good work.

lp roms and notification light.
I have the Verizon lg g3. I noticed on almost every l.p. Rom I have tested that the battery charge light is always on when the screen is on or off. I like having the light o. While charging because it is a quick way to tell the status of the charge. But I want the notification light to turn of if the screen is on. Is this possible with the l.p. rooms or am I just missing something obvious. So far I am favoring candy and beanstock rooms.

The devs never fixed it, so I had to go back to Verizon. But now I have a Nexus6.
Any chance of getting torch on and off option for the soft keys? I know it's small but on my current Rom I have it set as the long press on the home soft key. If is a nice feature
Does this work with multirom
How do I get this Rom to work with multirom
so i have this question. it feels that every other update brakes video playback. while i use vine the video's wont load. it worked fine on the 02/07 build but the 02/12 build broke the video. i wanted to know if anybody else has this issue. like i can still play video via youtube app but like snapchat doesnt work for me and vine is broken it will have the thumbnail but it will just show that its loading and never load anything. its been this way on every other build. just wanted to know once again if anybody else is having this issue
Fantastic rom! One thing though, I can't locate the screen lock menu in the Security settings. I can find it from the settings search bar though. Is this me being dumb, or is this a bug? Anyway, thanks for the great work!
Whenever I flash any 5.1 ROM my on call proximity sensor stops working. On Jasmine ROM and other stock ones it works. Anyone else have this similar issue?
