First of all the LED notification. I don't understand this thing. It goes off whenever it wants... I went to settings and put it on "SMS/MMS" only and it still goes off when I don't even have a text or message. And then when I get a text it goes off which is what it's suppose to do. But when I get the text, tap it, and read it; I now have no unread texts but it continues to blink... It has just became an LED that flashes to me whenever it wants to. I wish it would say why it is flashing or what notification is making it flash. Any help?
Second problem is the double text I get from people. This is getting really annoying. Is there an update or fix for this?
HTC Amaze 4G all stock. Bought from T-Mobile new in March.
anyone?
Take it back to tmobile

Were these still being sold by t-mobile in march?
You say all stock, but are you sure you aren't using any apps to do with sms? Handcent, gosms, something? If you get a third party sms app and don't disable notification in the stock app, then it won't stop flashing till you check THOSE notifications.
If you have google talk, google voice, skype-- so many of those have an sms function that could make the led go off. If you have those and don't use them, go into the setting of the app and turn off sync and notification.
Or if you are feeling daring you can always upgrade to ICS - I know most of us are using ice cream sandwich right now, so it will be hard for any of us to give you an answer to an issue on gingerbread.. if you find a thread for upgrading to ICS with s-on you'll see you don't have to root, unlock bootloader, or any of the other things people are scared of doing- you just download the leaked RUU, rename it and put it on external sdcard, reboot into bootloader and it does everything for you(if you do this I recommend backing up everything, I think it wipes the whole phone). There is no more risk to it than there would be when tmobile eventually pushes the update to your phone.
Hope something here is helpful for you

right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
Guys, this is really annoying me so any chance of a little help please...
Today I received a notification of new 'Voicemail'.
I didn't know the number (hate it when this happens as there is a charge every time you listen to the message).
As it happens the message wasn't for me but I was still charged to listen to it.
Anyway, if that is not enough what is annoying is the voicemail notification simply will not go away from the top bar.
Every time I reboot the phone it first starts to play out loud the voicemail notification and the only way to terminate it is to pull down the notification bar.
Thing is what's further annoying is no matter what I do I can not remove the voicemail icon and notification from the top bar.
When I click to listen to the voicemail it simply tells me I don't have any outstanding voicemail so I then hang up but the notification will not go away.
I have been to the T-Mobile web site obviously there is nothing there and on the phone I have dialled 150 Option 4, 1, 1 which is meant to stop voicemail (I think).
Help please..... It is driving me crazy.
I also want to know
It drives me crazy
I am with fido and I have a voicemail notification and it does not want to go away
I erased the phone 2-3 times, I left a message in my voicemail and then I deleted
no matter what I do the notification is there.
I tried the same with my nexus one and atrix but I dont have any notification.
It seems to be the phone itself
Just a long shot, but have you got a txt message that relates to having a voice mail, if so try deleting?

Well, in a weird sort of way I am pleased I am not the only one who is having this issue (apologies prince_72). It shows the problem is not isolated to either my phone or some form of settings.
In answer to morg01 ~ no... as a protection to my profession once I have received and actioned any text messages they are deleted. So it can not be a previous message that is the cause.
If the blessed thing has not disappeared come Monday I will speak with T-Mobile to ask if they have an answer.
However, I think they will most probably point me either to here or here but all these do is terminate voicemail, not handle notification.
I'm hoping it is something as simple as their system that is reactivating the notification despite the fact the last one I received I deleted.
We'll see.
I had this issue along with the com.android.phone crashing issue and they just switched my phone out in the shop. It might be time for a replacement?

Time for a replacement! That's a bit harsh.
In all other manner the phone works absolutely perfectly.
I have the issue too, I don't have carrier vm set up (i use g voice) but I forgot to set up voice after doing a wipe and got a vm. It asks me for a password that doesn't exist and wont let me delete the notification.
I dont think a replacement is a solution.
This is a software problem and I think the problem has to do with the software
implementation of the voicemail implementation.
If I put my Fido sim card to my Nexus one or Motorola Atrix I dont get the voicemail notification.
Also just to reply to morg01 I do get text messages along with the voicemail notification at the status bard but I delete the text messages I receive.
The problem is how to remove the voicemail notification.
I have a feeling that the Baseband implementation is wrong.
I got the phone from Europe and I dont think it supports the special features from Fido.
Just to mention that I dont have Name Display as well.
I would have to wait for the Canadian version to appear and to flash the modem
but until I wait that I will be really happy to remove that stupid ugly notification
I've been using Google Voice for the last 6 months. It's not always perfect, but you can read a transcript of your mail. And it's free and reversable.

Finally I fixed the notification problem
My carrier (FIDO) has two voicemail systems. One is for Iphone with the visual voicemail and the second is the reset of phones.
I used to have the second. It seems Galaxy S II does not really work ok with the more standard. The CSR switched me over to the visual voicemail and now everything works ok.

Nice one.... That proves it's a carrier issue.
I'm hoping to get to the bottom of my problem tomorrow.
Hi All
From what I understand, the Xperia Tablet Z 4G isn't meant to be able to make and/or receive GSM calls. I came from a Samsung P6800 that was able to make and receive GSM calls so I have a SIM that is attached to a voice and data plan. I'm now using that same SIM in the XZT.
Earlier this afternoon, I turned on my tablet and saw what looked like a missed call screen that flashed by and disappeared. There was no notification of a missed call. I remember the screen had light colours - like light green and blue and yellow (if my memory serves me right).
Tonight I actually received a GSM call. I didnt get to answer it in time (well, let's say that when I got to the tablet, I stood there looking at it and wondering what was going on and the call stopped!).The screen that came up is what I described above. It had an icon of a phone with a circle around it in the middle of the screen. I'm guessing that to answer the call, I would've had to have put my finger on the icon and drag it out to a side.
I tried calling my tablet again with my normal phone to replicate it and maybe try get a screenshot, but I can't seem to get through on the number.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there software on the phone that can make and receive phone calls?
Edit: I should add that I'm on 4.2.2... and Build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244.
I had hoped I could use it as a huge phone, but nope.
I was told the hardware wasn't there.
But if you truly have had an incoming call, then there might be hope.
Right now I'm using Skype and the tablet redirect calls to my Skype-number.
There is..
I use viber a lot and everytime i recieve a call there is a phone with a circle and a wave on it and i just drag the phone to the right to answer it.

Yeh, I thought that it could be Skype or Viber or one of them chat apps, but I wasn't signed into any of those at the time. I'd only had the tab for a couple of days and was still in the process of installing apps.
It hasn't happened since then.. but i'll keep a lookout for it and see if it happens again.
How about Google Voice? If you have it set up on your account you might be getting a call to that number. Try calling it.

So on occasion I will receive a text message (I think it's MMS but I'm not totally sure) and I will get the notification and an option to download the message shows up. I press the download button and it tries to download for a few minutes and I get a notification "Message not downloaded" and the download button becomes available again. I honestly don't have the slightest clue what is going on. It has happened with messages from multiple people so I doubt it's a problem on the senders side. I have screenshots attached of what it looks like. Judging by the size, I don't think it's just too big to download. Also, I just noticed that the date that the text was revived seems to be from the future. I didn't pay attention to it before so I don't remember if this has been the case every time it has happened.Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to be able to read it? Thanks!

9/10 times this is a network issue, but this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.smsfix&hl=en) app may help you. Are you using a carrier unlocked device with someone else's service by any chance (i.e. an ATT HTC One on T-Mobile or something like that)?

Nope, It's an ATT HTC One on ATT, I'll try out that app when I get the chance and see if it helps.
I know there have been no major updates for the H932 in the last handful of months, but for some reason lately my Messages and a few other LG-based apps have started showing a pink SIM card icon next to every single conversation and at the top of the screen. I feel like this has something to do with T-Mobile DIGITS but I've been using the app for over 4 months now and this change just recently happened. It has jacked with all of my text messages and makes it look like the sent and received text messages are all from the same person and I've tried everything I know how in order to get this stupid little icon to go away and from what I've seen even factory resetting the device only works for so long before the icons come back and screw up everything all over again. i really do hope this is ust the DIGITS app making its presence known, since I can tap on the icon in messages and see my own phone number listed as the only option beside it.
I'd rather not have to give up the DIGITS app since it has been a lifesaver for me allowing me to answer phone calls using the Windows app from my computer and not having to hunt my phone down and miss important phone calls. DIGITS is the only service I know of on Android that allows me to remotely answer phone calls, receive and respond to texts and a few other niceties that I have yet to see another Windows app replicate to this degree but if anyone has suggestions then I am open ears. Having said that though, I'm hoping that there's a way to completely remove the SIM card icons from my Messages and Phone applications using ADB or something similar and deleting a few non-rooted files or freezing an application. If anyone knows how to remove this horrible "feature" from my phone I'd be greatly appreciative. If this fails to work I would even be willing to at least disable DIGITS altogether as long as there's still a way to remove the icons from my LG-approved apps. I can't really afford to keep factory resetting but if that's something I have to do and it will revert the phone back to stock state I'd even consider rooting this POC at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
