My eris no longer recieves SMS messages (sending works) and no longer works for GPS. I toggle GPS on and off and on however maps or navigation or any other app dont connect to it. I have flashed multiple roms to try to solve this and its the same problem with each rom (is something wrong with the hardware). Ive tried KaosFroyo v39, 38, 35, 32 and KaosGingerbread v6. Same problems with all.
Any ideas? Thanks for help.

Two things to try:
First, download and install off the market two apps: "APN OnOff" (exactly like that) and "GPS Status".
Run APN OnOff, choose "Show APN list", press Menu and choose "Reset to default". If this doesn't help, let me know and I'll offer another suggestion.
For GPS Status, press Menu and choose Tools and then "Manage A-GPS state". Then press Reset and then Download.
Note that from Menu you can choose Settings then "GPS & Sensors" and from there you can "Auto-download APGS data", and select how often it will automatically download fresh data. Ever since I used this, I have a lot less trouble with the GPS under any ROM with working GPS.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the help. APN OnOff did not seem to do anything, nothing is fixed after trying that. GPS status force closes everytime i try to open it so i cant do anything with that.
Any other suggestions?

Try something besides Kaos just to rule out something in KF (I wouldn't base anything on whether things work in KG yet - it's way too early.)
In fact, try xtrSENSE - something close to stock. If that works, it's obviously not the hardware; if you still want to try Froyo, try another Froyo build to see if one of them works better. If it doesn't, you may want to unroot with Flashback21 and bring it to Verizon, to see if they can fix it or will replace the phone.
Are you doing a full data wipe and testing on a clean ROM install when you do all of these installs? Sorry to ask an obvious question, but you didn't mention it.
Yes I am doing a clean wipe before i flash each rom. I didnt just switch to kaosfroyo ive been using it for many months and all of a sudden it stopped working. I will try xtrasense to see if that fixes anything. Unrooting and taking to verizon is my backup choice. Is there a link to a thread on how to unroot and return to stock?
Thanks for the help
To return back to stock, I'd use the ROM Flashback21, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
You should be able to just flash it and it will remove Amon's Recovery and install stock Eris 2.1.

So far as I can remember, the GPS Status app has worked correctly on every "stable" ROM that I have used (but it has been a while since I had a KF ROM on my phone).
If it doesn't work on a near-stock ROM, that might suggest that you have a hardware problem. I don't know why SMS/1x would be at all related to the GPS issue, though.
I would take doogald's advice - unroot the phone, perform a factory reset (so the phone gets deactivated), and then re-activate it and see if the problems persist. If they do, then your phone is already set up for a return.
I have been running CELBFroyo 4 since it came out. I also had the same thing happen with messaging. I restored to an earlier nand, still nothing. I have tried tazz and kaos today. I will look for the apn on off. Thanks!

I used flashback Rom and that fixed my sms problem. Was going to use Xtrasence but couldn'tget my phone to dl it. Had flashback on phone, works great. ReRooted already and going to hang with sence for a wile.

That is an interesting observation. Is this the sequence you used:
- Flashback21
- Factory Reset (to deactivate)
- Activate
- ( manual PRL update w/ *228 ?)
- Verify SMS working using Factory ROM
- Flash custom ROM & verify SMS working there also
I'm wondering (out loud) if what you were experiencing was a problem with an outdated PRL.
What about GPS? Did it start working again as well? I suppose that could also be a PRL issue - for instance if an outdated PRL was preventing aGPS initialization from the carrier.
If you have Nandroid backups of the KF ROMs you were having trouble with, you would be doing the Eris community a service by restoring one of those ROMs and then reporting whether your SMS/GPS service was fixed. (Obviously, you would want to make a Nandroid backup of whatever you have on the phone now, so you could reload it if you want.)

Just out of curiosity, in case you check back on this thread, did you install the Flashback ROM with or without the radio? If so, I wonder if updating the radio was part of the fix.
I will nandrestore to Kaos and let you know what it does.
I used flashback without radio, then went through the setup process. Didn't deactivate, just did it like any other flash.
I did not check gps before.
Did not use 778.
Will nand now.

Hmmm, strange. I don't know why that (the procedure you used) would cause a behavior change - unless you were overflashing KF ROMs one over the next (no wipes), and something got messed up along the way.
If that is the case, reloading a (corrupted) KF ROM from a nandroid backup won't prove much - unless you do that and also a fresh (wipe + new install) of the same KF ROM you last used, to prove that the problem had little to do with the ROM itself.
cheers,

Ok naned back to a celb4.0 not kf, sorry everything still works.
I had been on celb4.0 for a wile(the day conap released) and haven't changed anything when sms quit. Heard it could be apn and going to stock may fix it.
Let me know if I can get you any other info.

LOL, brain fart on my part - activation is *228, not *778
(I'll correct the earlier post.)
Glad your phone is working.
(BTW, GPS does not work in KGB V8 - I just re-read your OP)
Doesn't work at all for V8?

GPS does not work on my phone w/ KGB v8; I suspect it doesn't work on anybody else's Eris either.
KGB @ V8 is still a development ROM - it shows tremendous promise, but I doubt that many folks are using it as their daily ROM.
several of the kf roms have had gps issues fixed by later updates. did the browser fc when you tried to open it? try something like froyoshedyo and see what happens, but nandroid your current setup first. not sure about the sms. the gps fix for kf39 is posted in the kf thread

I thought GPS was working in kgb v8. well at least not fc. location is still questionable on some phones. not sure though i haven't personally flashed it yet, just been following the thread.

I tried a fresh install of kgb8+gapps12/28.
GPS Status app FCs, and Google Maps shows my location at the cell tower with a giant 1mi error circle, even though GPS is enabled. That's my definition of "doesn't work"...
Hi guys,
I've noticed that the past week or so my phone will simply not wake up for calls.
The call goes through and rings on the other end, but nothing happens for my phone. I don't even get a missed call notification.
I am running Superclean 2.92 and Nitro's Honeycomb theme, with JT's kernel. I was using the Comavolt kernel, but I thought that it may be undervolt-related, so I switched kernels. No dice, still has the same problem. I also wiped davlik and cache. I do not use SetCPU.
Anyone here have any idea what's going on? Any suggestions?
I had the same result from flashing the minimalist theme for EB01, but a reinstallation of the theme fixed it. The cause can vary a lot, so I suggest just reinstalling everything from stock or one by one, rather than troubleshooting

Did u happen to solve this problem ??
I m facing the similar issue with my phone now .. it doesnt wake up for calls and i dono why. It is currently runnin ED03 radio, CommRom 2.0 with OTB 1.6 kernel
ever since gingerbread I haven't been able to send out MMS messages; however, I recieve them just fine.
Im unlocked, rooted, alien v4 with fauxs 1.3 kernel.
Im using stock apn settings, and I've even gone into message center(*#*#4636#*#*) to try fixing it but it doesn't do anything.
I've had this problem since I upgraded to gingerbread when I was still stock.
I use GoSMS, but the stock sms has this problem as well.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? I've done full wipes at least 10 times since gb.
Update:
Found out the source of the problem.
It was the GoSMS app I use which I've used since I installed gingerbread.
The problem was I had preserve image resolution checked on, and had the max size set to 1.2mb for any MMS. So I assume my MMS was timing out because it was trying to send 1.2mb.
I changed the max size to 300kb, and now everything is sending.
Never thought that would've been the source of the issue. I guess poking around helped a lot.

have you tried installing the froyo fruit cake from samcripp? if it's a gingerbread problem, that might fix it.
How would that help at all after I've already flashed multiple times?

you stated the problem started with gingerbread, if it's a problem with gingerbread the froyo framework might fix it.
other than that, you could try to flash a different radio. which one are you using right now?
Im currently using 1.77.30p.
And I did that fruitcake when I did my unlock a few months back.

it has the one bar issue, but you can find the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222426

also, that link is gone.
Also, i noticed that my bar turns from Blue to White in the middle of sending an mms
Have you tried sending mms without the faux kernal installed on the phone?
Just thinking of ideas here.

Hello,
I have an interesting question. Normally when you turn off notifications, it stops all notifications, as I like to use handcent and I have a key code that I use to log into my phone.
The pop up still won't go away. Is there any workaround to this?
Have you tried going into the messages settings and unchecking notifications?

I have, and they were still popping up. I was running Suarom, I am actually having major issues now... but I asked this to help others who may have issues. Long story short, the custom firmware worked fine, it won't flash back to stock, and now it won't flash anything.
I am saving that for another thread.
But yes, when I was running Saurom, and turning off notifications did not stop the pop up from coming up.

Odd, I've flashed back and forth between saurom and stock with no problems. You should take that problem over to the sarom qa thread and letting them know. As for the notifications, it may be the sms popup app or another problem created by using a custom firmware. So you should probably include that in the saurom thread, as well. GL getting your stuff straight, bro

Thank you, and honestly it should work like that. Both handcent and the default sms program had all notifications turned off, and it was still happening.
Being its not writing to the nand, I am going to see if AT&T will take it back. If so, then I'll be the happiest person alive for the day. If not, well... I'll most likely send it to a developer who doesn't have one so they can go nuts on it and see if they can fix it, and use it for development.
Ironically, I'm having the opposite problem with the stock ROM. I cannot figure out why my pop ups stopped appearing even though I have notifications enabled. I can't figure out which program I may have inadvertently disabled, as nothing seems to make them happen again.
I apologize in advance if this was addressed before, I couldnt find a thread that answered my issue.
My phone doesn't cannot to data anymore.
I have been flashing different roms pretty frequently, and I am currently on SpeedRom 7.8
For the past month, data hasn't been working on the different roms I have been using. I don't know what is the cause for this issue.
This issue started when i installed SpeedRom 7.5. From there i jumped from one rom to the next, with data not working.
Can you of guys help me with my predicament?
Thank you

Go to Settings - Data Usage and make sure Mobile Data is "On". This gets turned off sometimes when flashing new ROMs or by accident.

To expand and clarify the issue, when I turn the data on, there is no data icon at the top of the status bar beside the network strength icon.
