[Q] Screen frozen after a missed call? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just loaded up Bamf sense 3.0 rc4 yesterday. Everything was running fine then I got a call today and tried to pick up......looks like the phone froze up and now is stuck. I rebooted and it seems to load up (syncs, i see theres a missed call, other messages that i havent checked on the top) but it doesnt let me actually do anything on the screen. only thing i am seeing is the wallpaper and the fact that there is service etc on top (time, service bars, syncing). Anyone know what i should do next. I can get into bootloader but what do i do from there to try and restart this thing up.
I tried to reflash the zip file for BAmf sense 3.0 rc4 but i still come to the same point. PLEASE HELP?

ROMs & Working MMS

Are there any ROMS out there that have working MMS ? I have tried a number of them and no luck. I know these are labors of love but it's such a vital part of the phone itself to be left on the back burner. The only ones it works for me are 2.1 v's 1,2 & 3 every other ROM i tried it's always the same thing, no soft button lights, no trackball lights, no MMS. I've tried every fix offered under the sun & it just doesn't work, OR it might work, 18 hours later.
From what i have read it looks like half the people have no problems & have are in the same boat as me.
any suggestions?
thanks
I use sense-able and have no issues sending or recieving mms msgs
the MMS fix is quite simple. What ROM are you using? I know that in the EE thread there is a link to ivans-apns and instructions on removing your current APNs and installing the APNs from ivans rom.
I have working MMS on every rom I have tried except for one .....
Thanks for the 411 and I must say that name gave me the first laugh for the day "Cornbreadfarts"
Fn Funny dude.
well last night i loaded ZenEXP-Eris_Rev6-fixed_mak, i hadn't seen that one before and it looked very stylish. The overclocking isn't so important but i like the apps2sd. Followed all the instructions including flashing the mms fix also cited in the thread. I should have tried it our right away but i began to get comfy with the rom then when i remembered, bingo, same thing. Attaching even a very small photo gets a generic network error, it'll try 4 times to send it then stop. With other roms, sometimes 18 hours later it'll suddenly go through.
before this I'd tried evil eris, lightning, Dvanilla2fast, vanilladroidv1, fresh 2.1 & aloysius, all with the same result.
every rom has their own little quirks, evileris would seem to stall for a while then suddenly go through all the motions of your frantic thumb presses while u thought there was something wrong. I tried all the solutions offered also with the apn's in the evileris thread but still the same thing
the zenexp seems to restart itself at random times and does not come out of landscape mode after taking a pic. I have to press settings, then back & it resets itself
I like the variety in the various roms and the little extra bells & whistles that the developers add it's just this 1 issue really for me. I don't make a lot of calls and i mostly text back & forth to my daughter in NYC. Recently a loved pet of 13years died but beforehand i couldn't send her any pics of the cat in the days previous.
I guess i'll look for this sense-able and try that. I just don't get it though, we are all using an eris, it should either work or be broken for everyone right ?

ZenEXP-Eris doesn't restart itself at random times out-of-the-box, you must have installed or modified something that's causing that error. My releases go through a somewhat rigorous beta testing before they see the light of day - at least since Rev5 - and we've only seen minor issues upon release of them.
As for the accelerometer (the "not coming out of landscape" issue you refer to), that's a known bug in Rev6 that was found after releasing it. It is fixed in Rev7.
At the begining of my ZenEXP-Eris thread, I state that you should read the entire thread twice before flashing. This is so you know what you're doing, what to expect, how to make things work properly and what bugs are present in the ROM. Obviously you didn't read my entire thread, or you would have found the MMS-Fix, which is located about 6 lines below the ROM download
On a side note, Rev7 includes the MMS Fix built right into the ROM, no need to flash the MMS-Fix through Recovery like you do now for Rev5 and Rev6. You'll be able to enjoy Rev7 (hopefully) tomorrow (if not the next day).

Sorry, I thought I had been clear, I did read the whole thread and did dl & flash the mms fix zip u attached. I'm only reporting on the problems I'm having. This isn't a personal attack on you.
As I said, I understand these are labors of love and I wouldn't report something if it didn't happen. I have had 3 occasions where it restarted itself and all 3 times all I had installed was vignette, meebo, Google translate, shopper & barcode scanner.
Thank you for your reply

I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack, but I'm not sure why you're telling me that?
Anyway, if you installed the MMS fix, you should have working MMS. The MMS fix hasn't failed anyone that I know of and I used it myself on Rev5 and Rev6. Did you boot into the phone and set it up after flashing the ROM, but before install the MMS fix? The file the MMS fix installs gets overwritten during the first boot, which is why you need to reboot before installing it.
I don't use any of the apps you've installed, so I can't attest to their compatibility with ZenEXP-Eris. What I recommend you do is backup your data, go into Recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/ext, then re-install the latest release of Rev6, boot into ZenEXP-Eris and set your phone up, reboot into Recovery and install the MMS fix. Before installing any applications test it all out for a few hours, the proceed to install them one-by-one, leaving an hour or so in between installs until you (possibly) find what is causing the issue.
I'm really sorry to hear this issue persists for you but, as I mentioned earlier, you're the first to report such issues, thus the reason I suspect something else as the culprit
Feel free to PM me for one on one support if you need it.

edit: Also, regarding your softkey lights, they only turn on in dark areas. Hold your finger over the light sensor to the left of the earpiece speaker to see them light up. In ZenEXP-Eris the jogball LED doesn't function, but I have mapped notifications to the charging/power LED in the upper-right-hand corner of the Eris as an alternative, for now.

Hey,
There are several out there that work. Ivans are typically good to go out of the box and most if not all the Sprint based roms will be good to go by using the apn fix. Its a trial and error thing just find a rom that you like and give the thread a good read.
Most all the posted roms now have an mms "fix" or are good out of the box. I know it gets a bit disheartening flashing, setting up, wiping, flashing etc...lol...but thats the joy of a rooted handset...trial and error till you find a rom and dev you like well enough to stick with.

I actually did exactly what you said. I downloaded all the files first then i formatted the sd card, toggled, loaded the rom & the mms fix, wiped the handset (reset & dalvik), flashed the rom. When it loaded I set up the phone, power cycled & booted to recovery, flashed the mms fix and restarted the phone.
I wanted to make sure that apps2sd was working to i went to the market & installed vignette (excellent photo app) and the usual google made apps like translate, shopper etc
it was after all this I remembered the mms, so i tried it & nada.
I'm about to reformat & wipe now so i'll see what happens

Legend: extremly many errors

Hi guys, I've got a big Legend related problem.
A while ago, when I used CM7 odd errors have shown up. There were many freezes, the drop down bar began to make silly things (droped down when I put my finger anywhere on the screen, regulary wasn't usable, the upper part of the screen just won't react) and after a few pics in the gallery the zoom function began to go mad (zoom in and out extremly fast w/o me doing anything on the screen).
After I gone back to the regular Android w/ Sense, the errors occured less, but still pretty often.
And now, I can't access any wireless network (I don't only mean wifi, any network, not GPS, not UMTS etc.).
I'm not sure if the reason ist just, that the Legend is broken. After the change from CM to Sense everything began to work better, but now everything is just ****ed up.

What have you tried so far? Do you still have warranty?
If not, try doing a full wipe before installing CM7
Did you do this before installing CM7 for the first time?
Yes I did^^
However, it's getting worse so I'll flash back to an unrooted Rom and send it in.
Ok, have a big problem. The Rom Manager recovery menu just won't boot. I allways end up on a the errorscreen with the red !.
Downgrading won't work either, just getting crwxr-x--- no matter what im doing.
Ok, nevermind, downgrade just worked.

[Q] androidacoreprocess force close

Hi everyone I posted this on my roms page but I thought I would branch out and ask others if they have seen anything like my problem. It seems my phone hates my brother or at least his phone number. Every time he calls me or I call him I get the error process.acore has stopped unexpectedly problem, force close. I tried to clear the phone app but no go. The problem has occurred on two separate roms, fresh installs over a two week period? Of course the phone stops working and I get frustrated. Thought it was a dirty download so I tried Flips newest creation and sure enough after I have it set up enough to do a nandroid make the back up then about the time I make a few phone calls it starts kicking our the error android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly problem, force close.(just found it was only my brothers phone number) I am on TWRP 2.0 for my current recovery.
Oh thanks everyone for any ideas,
I'm on 1.4 hboot, baseband 0.97.10.0808, PRI 1.24.003, PRL 21083, Android version 2.3.4 & Sense 3.0 currently....boot ready to SVN back to most recent Warm nightly.
Ok now it gets really weird, I just realized it's my brothers phone that causes the issue? What the f?I called many different phone numbers even a Miami area code like his....it has happened on two different fresh installs of two different Roms. I did clear the data on the phone app but should I completely delete his contact and then allow google to sync? It seems I basically already did that with the installs of the different roms? Any ideas WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THIS? Very weird.
Thanks again because I have no clue
Charles
Ok so I reprovisioned the phone and still the same problem. It varies as to which phone contact causes the force close issue. Going to try and delete contacts although I doubt it does any good.
Anyone, Buehler, Anyone?
The same thing is happening to me on my 3d and i haven't rooted it yet. I will turn on the phone and everything will crash. I don't think it has to do with the rom but maybe a phone defect. I would say unroot and see if the problem still occurs if it does bring it back to sprint. They have a warranty for stuff like this.
TWRP 2 is really buggy, try flashing through cwm or twrp 1.1.1
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I've been running twrp2.0 since release and I've restored nands, did wipes, etc all has worked fine.

Wifi not turning on? (Joel BAMF 1.0 ICS)

Today I installed the bamf 1.0 ICS rom coming from a senseless rom and everything is good minus the wifi. For some reason I cannot turn it on. If I click it to turn it on it says "Turning wifi on...." but I'll wait for an hour and have it not do anything. It will occasionally say error but it will usually just display turning wifi on and nothing else.
Any remedies?
Edit: Also the bamf settings app isn't working quite well on this. Most of the options work but the bamf settings option under the General tab does nothing for me. It gets highlighted and nothing else happens.Also I'm starting to get crazy amounts of blue flicker while just on the home screen which was why I left the other Rom. I did do a full wipe

Dumb question , but did you make sure you installed the correct Bamf 1.0 kernel ? Invariably it seems most wifi errors are improper kernel installation or it didn't flash right.
I flashed one of the sense ones he had up. New Sense 1.5 I believe.

Bamf 1.0 , is based on the new base correct ? Then the 1.5 new sense I believe is for the old base. I think 1.5 new sense was for 1.0 preview and your on the 1.0 official ?
If your on the 1.0 preview then its the correct kernel ,then I am not sure why it wouldn't be working. If your on the new base , then recheck link and make sure it was the right one.
Just checked his site, he now has them labeled newfirmware people and oldfirmware people. So just verify which base your on and grab the correct kernel.
Thanks, I flashed the different kernel and it fixed my problem right up. No blue flickering, wifi turned on, and its no longer laggy. I figured new sense was the kernel just because it said new in it.
Do you know why bamf settings don't work? Everything does except for the one area that says "UI enhancements".

CDMA Connectivity acting funny

I tried searching before I posted this and saw nothing.
Here's what I'm currently experiencing:
4G connects and works fine
3G, 1X, SMS all not working
When attempting to make phone calls, it rings a few times then says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, please hold to connect to an external operator."
All incoming calls go directly to VoiceMail.
Upon boot a warning about global roaming incurring significant charges, and the signal bars have the triangle above them (to signify roaming, I'd assume).
Here's I broke it:
Was running AOKP through Boot Manager on top of RezRom S4 V2.5
VVM wasn't working so I thought I'd try flashing Viper-VM-fix-test.zip (file attached for reference) through Boot Manager, because it worked on a few other roms I'd tried
Problems as above started, tried full /system,/cache,factory reset wipe and nandroid restore, issues persisted
Tried full wipe again and fresh flash of RezRom, issue persisted
Can anybody help point me in the right direction so I don't break my phone more while trying to fix it?
In a move of desperation I just flashed the 3.14.605.5 RUU from the PH98IMG.zip (twice) and loading into stock I still have the same issue.

sounds like an authentication message, better call tech support and see if they can reset it or it could be sim related as well.
Tech support says my SIM card is borked. Gonna swing by a store tomorrow and grab a new one. Hopefully that's all the problem is.
Well, replaced the SIM card and that wasn't it. Verizon is sending me a "new" phone. Hope I don't end up as one of those refurb horror stories.
But I did start receiving texts this morning. Still can't send them, though.
