Alright so i'm pretty sure this has been posted before.. But I was just wondering.. With the CM7 roms is there a reception problem? Or idk? Ive been trying to figure out why I cannot send/receive text in my apartment or even make/receive calls.. I can walk like 20 feet down the road and make calls little laggy but it will. This all started the other day when I installed to CM7 and gosms pro or whatever and then froze the factory sms app.. my texting stopped working so i just uninstalled go smspro and unfroze the factory txt app. still nothing.. booted up in my recovery wiped everything and still nothing. Now i know some of you might say its just the area.. or whatever.. But i know that's not the case.. OUT of 4 lg optimus V 3 of them can send/receive txt and make calls. right away in my apartment.. Might take a min or two but it's still pretty quick. I can't think of anything that is doing this.. besides CM7 or it was something that i did when i froze the factory stock app for go smspro.. Oh also i can surf the web in the apartment.. really slow.. but it will load up Google.
Could this be caused from baseband? I thought if it was the wrong baseband it wouldn't connect at all.. Sorry for all this just trying to figure it out!
I can also get like facebook notification's and facebook msg's no problem.. just the texting and calling.. any ideas?
I have the same issue as you do. I have three optimus V. When I use custom rom, my reception/signal weakens compared to the original stock firmware.

Not sure if you guys want this here...just thought I'd post here...move if needed...
Ok, problem I've had for awhile now..
I was using Tazz 10 and Nonsensikal 7.0. They were both working perfectly then all of a sudden, I started to not receive txt messages. I can send, but not receive. So I wiped, re-flashed each ROM seperately, nothing. Wiped and nandroid to a ROM that was working, nothing.
I am now doing the Flashback 1.5 to get to Stock ROM. If still not working, gotta take to Verizon. But once it works...gonna Root again and put Tazz 12 and Nonsensikal 8.8. and see if the issue returns.
That's all, just wanted to post if any one else experiences this issue.
OK....flashed the Stock ROM...I am now recieving Txt messages...
Next...re-root and flash Nonsensikal, and see if I am still able to recieve Txts.
After flashing a stock ROM, you should back up your APN files. One way to do this is with a free app on the market called APN backup and restore. It will back up to an XML file on your SD card. After flashing another ROM, use that app to restore the APN files.
What are the APN files for? I am stuck at boot screen since updating OTA. Haven't had a chance to root yet. So I can still do it.

I believe they tell your phone which towers to connect to. So if you don't have the correct APN files, your phone has issues receiving messages. Some of the ROMS that are based on ROMs from other carriers may not have the right APNs.

Shouldnt a *228, option 2, update the PRL to current for Verizon?
Well, I went through everything and now I am NOT receiving messages again. I re-rooted and flashed Tazz 12 and now not receiving Txt messages again. Damn! I have to have an unrooted phone now? This sux. I can't be with out Txt messaging.
FYI...I restored APN's and did *228
Is it with your stock txt app or did you download one? I had problems similar to yours with ChompSMS on NonSensikal. Wiped and reinstalled rom but stuck with Stock messenger and the problem never returned. If you are on stock try a different txt app. Good luck!
It was with both apps...neither were recieving. I have since restarted and it seems to be working at the moment...
Could it be that your not popular?
jk, have you turned the Wi-Fi off, cause that has seemed to work for me

I would have the problem with both apps as well but when I reinstall the rom it would work and then a little while after installing Chomp it would stop again. Finally did a reinstall and didn't install ChompSMS and everything worked and stayed working. Good Luck!
One of my friends was having this issue too and it was due to which radio version she was using. The radio included in Tazz, KaosFroyo, and Nonsensikal were all giving her issues. She switched to xtrSense and the radio with that played nicer with her phone and all was well. Check out which version each rom runs and then you can flash the other radio over whichever rom you'd want. With that being said, I should also point out that there is a small chance, were something to go wrong with the radio flash, of damaging your phone. Now I have flashed two or three different ones, and had another friend purposely try to brick his phone by flashing radios from different phones even as well as pulling the battery while flashing a radio, and did not brick his phone. Just like rooting your phone, there's always a chance something can go wrong, but at that stage it's all about weighing the pros and cons and if you have a back up plan. Hope this helps.
I'm having the same problem. I was running KaosFroyo then Nonsensikal with no issues. I switched to Tazz Froyo today and now I can't receive texts, only send them. I flashed back to Nonsensikal and it didn't remedy the problem. The radio is the same on Tazz and Kaos (didn't check Nonsensikal) so I don't think that's the issue.
I would like to point out that kaosfroyo doesn't include a radio it uses whatever you have

Problem Solved
I found the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770879
Hopefully it works for you as well.
For the life of me I can't figure this out. I installed Handscent on my Thunderbolt and now it is sending the same text 2 - 3 times. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, clearing cache and nothing works. I disabled every notification on the standard messaging app but it just keeps doing it.
Anyone have any ideas?
No ideas, but you're not alone...
I just want to bump this and say that it is happening with GoSMS and the stock messaging app as well. I wonder if it's the network.
I had to do clear data in messaging app in Manage Applications menu. Just make sure there are no messages you want to keep because you will lose them.
Had the same issue. I called Verizon to report it. I rebooted and have not had any issues. Well none that I know of. Not sure if it was the network or my phone.
Yeah nothing is working. Using stock app and cleared data, still doing it. I'm beginning to think it has to do with the DasBAMF Rom because it didn't happen until I started using the rom.
Give it a day... its more than likely the network and not the ROM... ive used many different ROMs on my D1 and this problem would come and go from time to time... often without even changing ROMs.... give it 24 hours, if it doesnt stop, try a new ROM then, dont give up on it so fast.
This was happening to me about two weeks ago. It worked itself out.
Have you guys tried freezing the old msging app?
it's happening on my stock TB...pretty sure it's just the network considering my blackberry used to do this as well.
Im not sure why its doing this, but im on BAMF2.0 Remix, and i randomly just stop getting text messages. i have to pull the battery to receive them again, im in a 3g area with good signal.. is anyone else having this problem or is there a fix for it other than pulling battery?
if not i dont believe i had this issue with cm7.. dont exactly want to go back being i like BAMF..
Thanks!
For the first time since I had this phone I am having the same problem. Did you find a fix? What kernel were you using?
I pulled my battery and I'm still not getting SMS. $&@!

For most of last night from 9pm to about 2am I could not receive a text message no matter which phone sent me a text. Of course, I got several messages at 2am (that had been sent earlier that night) waking me up from sleep. I was able to send SMS but not receive. I did everything - battery pull, uninstall GoSMS and use stock messaging app (clearing the cache), cleared davlik cache and rom cache, lol... I tried everything.
Apparently this has happened to quite a few other people. I guess it just goes away after time? I am also guessing since none of my efforts fixed the problem that it is related to the Verizon network? Google: Thunderbolt not receiving texts.
None of the SMS I sent myself from my prepaid phone, from family members, friend, gf, or google voice made it to my phone last night.
I find it really upsetting that I pay $90+/month for this device and I can't even get SMS. Sure this is the only time that I know this happened, but .... lol. If could have happened before without me knowing it.
Low voltage kernel settings wouldn't cause this, would it?
Shesh.
So Im having data issues today i wanna really exchange it Monday but Im afraid if i do il have screen issues right now data will work halfway and i have to keep refreshing the page til it finally loads its horrible but Im afraid to exchange it cause people that are havih the screen problems i have a problem at the upper top looks llike dead piles its a very light spot but usually only seen while on the camera app or when its turned on

If you think about the number of phones that are out there and people only generally post when there's an issue, I wouldn't worry about exchanging it. I've had two phones with no issues.

today I backed up my iphone SMSs and loaded them with sms backup and restore... everything went fine, but then my phone reset and there is a circle with a line through it where the data connection icon should be and says there is no sim installed.... I also cant dial out, but I received a call on the way home from work.
trying to open message app on the phone gives me a time out message and asks me to kill or wait. then the phone just freezes. I'm looking everywhere for a solution... first time android user so this is driving me a little bit nutty.
on my iphone I would just restore firmware... I guess thats what I should try here?

Have you done any type of changes to the phone like rooting, etc.? Anything you can think of that might have caused it or changed something right before it happened?
No, I haven't rooted or anything. All I did was download a few basic apps and then try to transfer my data to the new phone. I ordered a jig and don't want to do anything until it arrives.
I have solved the data issue, somehow the sim came slightly out of place. Once I reseated everything was good. is the sim slot that finicky?
i also did a factory reset and started from scratch and worked out the issue with the text messages. I appreciated your willingness to help a noob, thank you.
Just flashed MIUI-2.1.13 after having experimented with UnNamed. As per topic title, I'm using the latest SiyahKernel. Aside from the custom kernel and flashing MIUI, I haven't customized anything. I don't really know much of anything about modems at this point, so I haven't bothered to mess with them yet.
Since I just flashed, I'm downloading my apps through the web-based marketplace. Normally I'd use MyBackup Pro or some other backup/restore app, but sometimes the apps won't work when I install them that way; they will repeatedly force close. I'm downloading and installing from my computer to my phone because I live in a 2g area, and the Market app will always timeout, so I can't use it.
I can receive calls normally when I'm not downloading an app, but if I am, my phone will neither ring, nor show any evidence that someone tried to call me. I can make calls, but not receive them.
Once I get all my apps back on my phone, this won't be much of an issue as I won't be downloading a bunch of apps at once. For now, however, I would hate to miss a phone call because I'm putting some apps on my phone. And since it takes forever over EDGE (no, I don't have wifi in my room), it creates a pretty big window of time where I can't receive calls.
I searched and didn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure what to do. Rebooting hasn't helped anything either, so that's out.
Edge can't do voice and data at the same time. So that's your issue there.

Yup... remember all of those commercials with ATT boasting that you can call and surf the web on its 3g? (using two separate signals, one for data, one for calls)
Ah. Guess that explains that then. Thanks.
