I've wiped cache and the fake messages have gone away on other people's phones. I've never had it happen to me though.

Just tried Clearing Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache, no luck. Any other suggestions?
I also tried running the exe file in the first post via Root Explorer and it doesnt seem like you can run executable files on Android. I changed the permissions and it still wont let me run the file.
I cant be the only one having this problem.

This is actually what I meant. Sorry for not being more clear. I've also seen this happen more often on non rooted phones than on rooted phones.

SOLVED - Settings/Wireless & networks - Force closing.. Anyone else experience this?

SOLVED - Settings/Wireless & networks - Force closing.. Anyone else experience this?
So I noticed today that every time I try to go into "Wireless & networks" from within the settings menu, I get a force close and can not proceed any further. This means I cannot change any of my wireless settings including bluetooth, wifi, or wireless.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, have you figured out how to fix it? I've already tried wiping the dalvik cache.
I'm using the 1.36.531.6 build, rooted and deodexed. It is android version 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0.
CONCLUSION - DO NOT DELETE NFC.APK.
I'm assuming you have rebooted? You could try and go to settings/applications/all and find "Settings" and delete the cache, which would require you to make any settings changes again.

Yes I've rebooted, deleted the dalvik cache, wiped the cache partition, went into settings/applications and wiped the cache for the settings app and even tried replacing the settings app from a different ROM version and I still persistently have the issue.
I am deleting several APK's from the base ROM before flashing though and perhaps one of those is what is causing my issues?
I suppose I'll try flashing the full ROM again and then remove 1 apk at a time and see if I find the culprit.
Update.. It appears that the NFC app is what I deleted that borked the Wireless Settings menu.
Sooooo.. With that being said.. Don't delete nfc.apk.

Problem when using roaming GSM simcard and how to solve it

I have unlocked the Photon 4G and sometimes I'm using my roaming GSM simcard (it's from middle-east and works at AT&T network).
First I faced a problem with GOOGLE PLAY!!
it can't access the google play app, even I've tried to flash the ROM again but it didn't fixed.
This mean that you can't download any app from the market.:crying:
I've tried to clear the cach and the data of google play like this (settings > manage applications > click playstore under 'all' > clear data > reboot); It also didn't worked :crying:
The FIX::good:
1. Power off, remove the simcard, power on, download what you want from google play, power off again, put back your simcard, power on again, and go.
2. (BETTER):good::good:
Try going into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose CDMA only.
then Reboot, then download what you want from the market.
Now to retearn back: Go again into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose GSM only.
Done, hear no need need to reboot, AND you are still able to use google play untie the next Reboot.
please if somebody find this thread useful in any way, just hit Thanks to understand that I've helped somebody except me.

I don't know if this will appear/solve in other ROMs

"Unfortunately Contact Storage has stopped working" [FIX]

1. Clear Cache and Data
Try clearing the temporary storage area of your Contacts using these steps:
Go to Settings
Proceed to Application Manager
Select the All tab
Choose Contacts
Tap Clear Cache
Selecting Clear Data is optional since this will erase all the changes that you have made to some of your Phone app’s settings but it may solve the problem based on some users who have tried it.
Go back to the previous menu and choose Phone
Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data
2. Change Date Format
Go to Settings
Select More
Under Date and Time, change the format to 24 hours
3. Delete Rogue Apps
Start your phone under Safe Mode, observe if the problem occurs. If not, there is probably a third-party app causing the bug. Exit Safe Mode and try to recall the most recent app that you have installed prior to the problem. Disable it for a while to test whether the error still comes out.
4. Factory Reset or Flash Original Firmware.

My 7.1 thinks it's a 7 Plus, and so won't update

I've got a Nokia 7.1, which in System-About Phone says it is a 7.1, TA-1096. But when I sideload a stock ROM (to move from Oreo to Pie) it says 'E: package is for product CTL_Sprout but expected B2N', and refuses to install it. My understanding is CTL-Sprout is the 7.1, and B2N is the 7 Plus.
It also:
- fails to find that any OTA updates are available despite being on 8.1;
- won't take a B2N ROM by sideload (says 'E:failed to verify whole file signature', 'E:signature verification failed' and 'E:error 21'); and
- interacts fine with ADB when booted or in recovery, but isn't recognised by the fastboot devices command when in 'download mode'., so I haven't been able to flash TWRP.
It all seems strange to me, but I'm not very experienced. I originally put the phone aside when I found there was not going to be a bootloader unlock, and am keen to now get it to Q and try to root it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Hi oujdamp. It doesn't look promising I'm sorry … I started a similar thread on the Nokia forums and got some useful (but disappointing) information. The link is here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/59020/my-7-1-thinks-its-a-7-plus-and-so-wont-update

1. Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > App info > Google Play services > Storage > Clear data and Clear cache

After trying the above steps if the issue still remains, you can try to use VPN:
Turn Location off: Go to Settings > Security and location > Location > Tap to switch it Off.
Download a VPN from Play Store.(Any VPN application)

Then go to "Settings" - "Location" Turn it OFF. Soft reset the device.
Now open the VPN app that you have downloaded and run it.
