Random SMS dissapears - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but as it's a general Android issue i thought this was the best one to post in.
I have had this for a while since i have been using ICS Roms and I wondered if anyone else has had it
I use a abacus Bluetooth watch which among other things vibrates and displays when I receive a sms
Sometimes I have noticed that if I get a sms it displays on the watch but it does not appear on the phone at all, not in the message app or notification bar
But weird is that today it happened and as I saw the text on the watch but again it did not appear anywhere on the phone so I sent a reply and straight away their 2nd text appeared as normal so it's not even down to a certain contact
I've checked all settings that I can think of and it can't be anything to do with the watch software as that only displays what the phone receives
I used to have ARHD installed until I Tried Elegencia and have had the same issue with both, maybe it's a ics issue ?
I have posted this in the Rom thread but thought that this may be a wider issue
Would love to hear if anyone has the same issue
Thanks

What does this icon mean?

Hello All,
Thanks to everyone who makes this site such a terrific resource. Can anyone tell me what the icon on the attached jpg means? I can't find it in any manual and it appears regularly. :? The icon identified by the red arrow didn't appear on the ROM that came with the phone from TMobile, or at least I never saw it for the year prior to changing ROMs.
T-Mobile USA refuses to enhance their ROM with the wireless modem feature so I got a cooked ROM from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ (excellent site btw) and now I'm using the wireless modem feature to my hearts content with a ROM from o2.
Many thanks!
Looks like a missed call icon to me.
Thanks, but I don't think that's it
I get the phone icon with the exclamation point whenever I miss a call. I thought at one time it might be a missed call icon, but it doesn't appear when I call my cell from another line and don't answer. I don't see any connection between this icon and any particular event. It seems to occur completely at random. :?
I think this icon means the radio has just been turned is off and it appears normally as the device starts up after a soft reset and only appears for a couple of seconds as the device loads the radio and finds a connection. I think it's supposed to indicate that you can't make a voice call at this moment.
do you have IACallerID installed? thats the icon that shows when it starts up i think
BINGO! Thanks dabtran!
I just spent the last two hours researching this and came across the Caller ID 1.0 for Pocket PC help file in the windows directory. The very first paragraph describes a not ready icon that will appear. I've played with the photo contacts a bit, but I found it a pain. Anyway, I went back to the photo contacts and added a photo to a contact and an icon like the one I posted showed up only without the 'x'. Then I knew where the icon was coming from. I was just logging on to post my findings when I saw your post. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. :-D
at times callerID get closed down and restarts when that happen that icon is displayed

hey even i get this icon quiet often................. was very curious bout it . but i found out wat it is. wenever ur network in goes off in the sense ur network strenght will show 100 % but it just cuts off for a few seconds and ive noticed if u click on it it just vanishes.so du nworry.its just the network problem. it wont affect ur calls since it lasts for a very small amoutn of time . :lol:

Droid Eris text input problems

Text input will randomly stop working on my Eris, the autocorrect sees that I'm inputing text and offers suggestions but the text doesn't show up in the text box. This is happening with every keyboard I've tried including; HTC IME, HTC IME MOD, Shapewriter, and stock keyboard. This also is happening on all roms I've tried; KaosFroyo, Sensable, Evil Eris, and CyanogenEris.
After dealing with this problem since I've had my phone in December I finally decided to look for a fix, but I can't find anything on this forum or from any Google searches. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or have a way to fix it?
A bit of a development...
After paying more attention to this I have noticed that whenever this occurs my phone is actively uploading and/or downloading on an analog connection, or at least that is what it says in the notification area....
Same problem on my rooted Eris, running XtrRom3.0.3. Doesn't happen very often but would like to know if there is a fix.

Texting

Sorry if this is in a post already, I searched but didn't find anything the same.
I use the stock android messing setup, and on 1.6, when I sent a message with little service, I could leave it and it would keep trying till it sent. Now on 2.1, I find that if service is an issue, it will notify me right away that it didn't go through, and I'll need to hit resend. Any way to change this to the old way, so I don't have to keep bothering with it?
Thanks

No one else has this happening?
I've had this happen and had to manually resend the message. Not sure if there is a solution to it
I've had this happen too. Doesn't bother me too much, I just hard press the message and resend it again. My issue is the darned the new way to add recipients. I can't just type their names and the phone automatically recognizes them like with the old firmware. Annoying when I have to send multiple texts.
true say .
Im having this issue as well. And started a similar thread. Shouldnt have now that I found this one Lol...
But did not find solution thus far. But I noticed the phone always goes into H from 3G. I think this could have something to do with it because I know the phone sends them when in H mode rather than 3G.
That or I am just paranoid.
Hmm I have a different problem, whenever i come down to 20 characters left in the SMS, it starts lagging really bad, and sometimes it just closes :S

I'm not sure it's a problem with your phone, I think it's meant to do that . I don't know if there's a mod out there to stop it though...
It's definitely meant to do that
damn then i have to hope that a mod will be released
Turn the phone off?
I think you should request a dev to do that as I think it will never be made as your phone should really do that. I'm not sure if there's even a phone which will not turn on its screen when a sms is received.

Coming from htc phones all this while..this screen turning on when recieving sms/mms/email is really annoying..hopefully someone can cook something to totally prevent this. I guess samsung designed it thia way due to lack of notification led.

on my nexus one, the screen will not turn on when an sms is received. but i can turn this option on if i want so that the screen DOES turn on with an sms. its all about choice. maybe you guys could try handcent, and root and remove the stock messaging app to stop this.
i've just noticed that my phone has started doing this too.
i have sms popup installed and the default sms notification is turned off therefore sms popup should handle the sms notifications.
i have "leave the screen switched off" set in sms popup but the screen still turns on.
this is also happening with the exchange client and i think it might have started since KE7 ...
any ideas ?

[Q] UnNamed v 1.x.xx notifications / speaker issue

Hi all,
I'm hoping I'm not the only one experiencing this (posted a Q on the general forum as well). Running UnNamed 1.3.0 (although noticed the problem with 1.2.0 also), and I have noticed that immediately after I receive a text message, all notifications sounds play out of the ear speaker, not the phone speaker in the back of the phone. If I 'clear memory' via Task Manager > Ram, the problem goes away but repeats as soon as I get another text message... Been trying to terminate processes one by one to nail down what's causing this but have not gotten anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is an actual issue or if it's "working as designed"
I get the same behavior but I always understood it as the phone notifying me that I have a new text or e-mail.
Maybe gtg can provide more insight.
Strange that y'all have that issue. I flashed the ROM and so far no issues yet. Not even the one described. I even had my wife text me several times just to test.lol
Just want to clarify that I don't have an earpiece hooked up, so the sound comes out of the little speaker where you hear the phone conversation if you were on a call. Its really inaudible even if the phone is on my desk.
