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.
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!

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.

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
I just recently installed CM 7.10 on my fascinate. I was coming from MIUI. Everything appears to be working well except I can't make outgoing calls 95% of the time.
When I attempt to make a call the signal bars all go white and it shows the contact like its trying to call, but nothing happens. Every now and again I'm able to make call, but there seems to be no consistency to when.
The strange thing is that I get incoming calls seem to be working consistently, and data and texting work as well. I've tried a few different modems and they all behave the same way. Any idea on what would cause this? It doesn't make sense to me because isn't MIUI based off of CM7?
Thanks,
Nick

sounds like you do a full wipe and start over then. You can try *228 but not sure if that will work.
Wiped and the issue is still there.
I don't understand what could be causing it.

Hi all,
I've posted a couple times before on getting the wifi working on stock Moto android for the photon, I cannot reply on the dev forum discussing this cm9 rom as I'm allegedly less than 10 posts or something.
Each time I boot up with aeroplane mode off (so all network stuff is on) com.android.phone crashes and I just have to press ok, it happens again each time I enable then disable aeroplane mode or type *#*#4636#*#* and turn off then on the radio.
I cannot get any mobile connection, I think the radio cannot turn on as the GSM service is "radio off".
Any ideas on how I should troubleshoot, I think loads of people have the issue but the recommended fix does not work for me (and others).
The recommended fix is to edit /system/build.prop and change ro.telephony.default_network from 7 to 0 and this does not work for me (editing it with root explorer).
I understand that it changes the network type to WCDMA prefered (I think that is another name for UMTS). One can also change the prefered network using the above code in the dialer and scrolling down to just above the button to turn the radio off/on.
Any ideas?
Update:
Sorry for taking ages to reply, seems like most people using the mopho are on Sprint using CDMA and so don't have issues, I'm in Australia on Vodafone so use GSM(2G)/WCDMA (3G).
I got this working ages ago and after a few version changes, I'm now on beta 0.4.5.1 as camera would freeze after taking a picture (including freezing the camera system so face unlock stopped) on beta 0.4.4.
Yes, reflashing rom after editing ro.telephony.default_network to 0 does fix it, but one does not have to reflash, just reboot into recovery and do factory reset other basics may work, though I tried cache, dalvik cache and permission fix, that did not seem to fix it for me. I think factory reset in recovery formats: data, cache, ext-sd/android....something file and one or 2 other things.
I think formatting data gets rid of all your settings, maybe one does not need the data reformat, I wonder if the android file on the SD card has certain settings with the RIL.
When you are having the GSM issue and no signal, under the more menu which is under wireless & networks, there is no "mobile networks" option and when dialling *#*#info#*#* (4636) under phone information, I think GSM service says "radio off".
Yes, after I did make a post, it did say 4 posts and then I actually knew I how many I had done, I was unsure as I had posted quite a lot about the early wifi issues when Spring crippled the original rom but I was also posting in the Moto owners forum and could not remember how many posts I had done in this forum.
Any way, will update if I think there is anything else useful to add/ask. I just love the openness of Android, especially compared to the iPhone, its just so great that someone may download the source and port it to a device such as what Joker and the others helping him out did, so now we have ICS on a very powerful and capable device. As much as Jobs may have had all sorts of issues with similarities between Android and iOS, we have more use from it and "like" google better from it (without spending crap loads of money on one of like only 2 devices available, we just have soooo much choice;-)
Fisher
Ok, so I understand that editing the file line above (/system/builld.prop , line ro.telephony.....) to 0 instead of 7 sets the network as WCDMA prefered (it even says so in the file just above the line you edit).
When dialing *#*#4636#*#*, I see GSM auto (PRL) instead of WCDMA prefered even after reboot.
It seems that the system is not reading that part of the build.prop file or its being over ridden by something else, how can I troubleshoot?
It stays on GSM auto (PRL) even if I change it in the dialer, exit and then type the code back into the dialer.
Have you tried relishing from scratch? & start from cm9 0.1.0 2d not 0.2.0 . I say that because when I first tried cm9 I started from cm9 0.2.0 and I had lots of problems and battery drains fast but then I clean everything off and redone it from cm9 0.1.0 2d note everything is working like it should even better . Hope you getting going...

If I remember what was said in the cm9 thread you have to edit build.prop from the zip, and then flash, not edit after flash or it doesn't work.

Sounds like the other guys have you helped with the FC portion, but nobody has addressed the first complaint. You're currently showing as having 5 posts to me when I look at your profile, so it's not alleged you're under 10 posts, you are under 10 posts. The word "allegedly" implies you disagree with that post count and if so, I'd suggest contacting an admin to have it looked into. I don't spend too much time on XDA so unfortunately I don't know who (specifically) to suggest you contact.
Hope you get it all sorted out! Cheers!

ya the to little post count thing is semi wack. i understand why its there, but i deff still feel you pain. I have been a avid reader of most everything mopho related since about October, but am not much of a poster until not i guess
voicemail
I have ics on my mopho but Im not getting any voicemails. When I get a call and it goes to voicemail i receive a text that says I have received a voicemail and to call a weird number. When I do sometimes it asks me if I have a new phone with voicemail and sometimes its just a busy tone. Is anyone else having this problem?

Why would you ask that in a Photon forum?
At first I was having issue with outgoing calls but I made a few phone calls and pressed Mute/L-Speaker/Keypad several times and somehow volume appeared and seems to be fine now.
But there still seems to be a issue. I cannot hear nor be heard during incoming calls. Ive flashed several other ROMs and have never had this sort of issues.
Does anyone know an answer to this issue?
ROM: ParanoidAndroid 1.6
Kernel: Siyah kernel 1.3.7b
Modem: I9300TDULE6
I also noticed a bug with Volume during calls. Mine will not go all the way to the lowest.

Make sure you reboot as well, if the problem persists you may have to try a new modem. I recommend the XXLFB, attached.
Quick q.. how exactly did u replace Phone.apk in system/app? I thought I'd use AFT but my phone for some strange reason will not connect to my Mac using AFT.
In regards to the modem, are u using an i9300T? And which network are you with? Wouldn't it be better to be on stock modem for signal strength?
Sent from my GT-I9300
Use whichever root explorer you like to replace the akp on your phone, then reboot. You can also push the akp with adb.
As for the modem, doesn't matter which network nor will it affect signal strength adversely, it's simply a fix to the voice issues.
I tried root explorer to replace the apk but with no luck. But I went into Settings/App/All .. uninstalled updates on Phone.apk and now its working.
Please advice if you think will lead into a bigger problem.
