[Q] THL W8+ - GravityMod2 - Call and SMS id problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. In October a have received my THL W8+. :laugh::laugh:
Since this moment I have problems with ID in calls and SMS.
When I receive a call all is fine, but if I receive an SMS its only display the number, no name appear, still the number is load in my contact list.
I have noticed that SMS arrives with country code prefix, in my case +54 (Argentina).
Then, in the contact list, I added the country code to the contact and the sms problem disappear, but when I receive a call, the number not match the list and only show me the number, no contact name.
I've installed ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 for THL W8 following the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237779
with no problem and made a backup of stock rom.
After that, I've installed GravityMod2 - custom ROM for THL W8 (4GB/8GB/16GB/W8+/Beyond) and apply the latest version of GravityBox following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249808.
All done (factory reset, all wipes, etc). The ROM is excellent, all features included. Also I have applied General Patches included in GravityBox, but my problem persist. In the main features the GravityMod2 says "CallerID mappings fixed in Phone calls and Messaging".
If I duplicate the number for the contact (one with country code and the other without it) all problems out. But I think is not a very good solution.
Please could help me to solve this or to try do something else.

SMS
We've sent and received SMS with the new ROM. Could you describe the problem in more detail? Do the SMS messages just seem to go into a black hole both ways, or does some kind of error happen?
i fixed it already, i just didn't get the messages, and ppl told me they've sent me. but i installed afterwards the sms_fix.cab, and suddenly it works again.
thanx.

Hi all,
I have a same problem. When people send me a sms, I cant get it from my xda. But if I remove my sim card and use it another regular phone, I see there are lot of sms messages.
What is sms_fix.cab?
If this cab is for show names from sms messages, I have already installed it.

My problem have started after new bios. Both of us can send SMS.
ROM Version: 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version: 4.01
I dont want to hard reset it, because I just finished to install of hundreds of tools also I dont know it will work or not!
What can I do?
Thanks a lottt.
Rom as given but still can't send sms
Hi
My rom version is 3.16.32 ENG, Radio version 4.20.00
I have the phone unlocked with the xda manipulator (now using vodapone) and had received a sms message successfully from a colleague but I just can't send a sms. I clicked on the contact and tap "Send SMS" but it just don't do anything and when I tap on "Send SMS" under the tools menu in the phone , it also don't do anything. I read that someone said caller2picture prevents someone from sending sms. Is this true? Can anything be done to make it work even with that software installed?
Would appreciate any help or advice.
Cheers
Vic
HI all,
For the benefit of forumers- a cold boot restored full functionality of my sms service. Must have accidentally deleted some important files.

caller id not shown in sms

i know its an ols problem, but how do i sort it. ive got the latest upgrades installed??
is it something simple, any help appreciated
More details
What is the actual problem? Can you see sender phone number, but NOT their name, even though they're in your contacts list?
If that's the problem you can install the Paragon SMS Name freeware app from http://www.penreader.com
The problem does not exist.
I got ROM version 3.17.03 ENG (special ROM v1.2 rules!!!) and names are correctly displayed when i receive an SMS (if the same name exists in the contacts list, of course).
But pay attention, because if the phone number in the contact list is saved without the international phone prefix (ie: for UK 181000000), when you receive an SMS your provider displays the number with the prefix (ie: +44181000000) and the number is not correctly recognised and the name not displayed...!!! :evil:

http://www.yorch.net/downloads/SMS fix.zip
this program fixed it for me on win2002
and it dont matter that my contacts mobil phone dont have +45 first in the phone nr
mmm... it's a provider problem then, because if the problem has been fixed in my ROM version i guess it will be for late versions...

[Q] Roaming not working

Hello there!
I recently installed the UltimaRom V.6.0.2 on my Gti9300.
Everything seems to working grand other than the data connection which does not function, 'mobile network state' is 'disconnected' and 'roaming is 'not roaming' under status in the settings (please see attached screenshot) so cannot choose internet, whatsapp etc.
This has been checked in the mobile network options, but this will not function regardless. I then thought it might be due to the option to install the baseband version and I chose I9300XXDLI8. Is this where the problem lies since I am receiving and still able to make calls and texts.
I am a t-mobile customer in the UK with 'everything everywhere', I believe the APN settings are OK. I can still send and receive MMS, but no data connection...
Please help me out!
The Rom on installation gives me the choice to install the following baseband versions:
XXELJ2
DDDLJ1
NEDLI1
XXDLID
XXDLIB
XXDLI8
Have I installed the wrong one?

[Q] Whatsapp stuck (again) on Initializing

Hello.
Due to some problems in my Smartphone (Android 4.0.3), I had to uninstall Whatsapp Messenger and reinstall it.
It was working perfectly before I uninstalled it.
But now, there is no way to have it working again. I should say I already have an active account till April 2014. So, I installed it both downloading from the Play Store and downloading from Whatsapp website. The result is the same:
1.- Once re-installed and being sure I have both phone line and wifi network, I start whatsapp.
2.- I accept the terms.
3.- Whatsapp ask me for my phone number. I introduce the same I always have: +34 abc de fx yz and OK
4.- Whatsapp discover the old databases and ask me if I want to recover messages from them. I answer yes, whatsapp tell me that 3.189 msgs are recovered.
5.- Whatsapp ask me for the profile details, photo and name. And the strange things start here:
5a.- It seems not having recognized my phone number, as it ask for my profile, that I feel it had to be known
5b.- In the name field, there is a number too similar to the one I introduced in 3.-, but NOT the same, no country code and the last 2 digits are zeroes: abcdefx00
5c.- By this time, no message, no phone call is received
5d.- No question about verify code is received.
6.- Anyway, I put my name in the profile name field and press NEXT
7.- Whatsapp goes to “Initializing, wait a moment ….” And nothing more…. It stay stuck there…. Non ending. Hours later, the only way to resume my phone is restarting the phone.
I already tried all the suggestions of the different forums: go without recover messages, download 2.8 and then reinstall with the most recent versión, download from market and then reinstall with the most recent from whatsapp website, erase the old databases.... Same result.
I found that last year there were similar problems that seemed to be due to whatsapp servers problems, and week ago also the verification server had also troubles... Could again be this the problem?
I am planning to do a "Factory reset" of my pone (HTC Sensation), but I would like to explore any solution before that one.
Any help, please?
Thanks and kind regards

[Q] Galaxy S3 S-Voice issues

Hi, I have some issues with S-Voice on my Galaxy S3.
When I use S-Voice to send a text message or make a call by using contact name (for example if I say "Call François Dupont"), it records my sentence, starts the voice recognition phase, and perfectly writes back my sentence on the screen, but nothing happens. It does not call Mister Dupont as I asked him.
But if I tell him the phone number instead of contact name, it's working perfectly, so if I say "Call 01 99 88 77 66", S-Voice use an audio feedback to tell me he is calling the given number, and it starts the call.
Someone else with the same issue ? is there a solution somewhere ?
I'm using ArchiDroid 1.7.9 (based on stock 4.3 UGNA7) with bloatware package installed, I face the same issue with an older stock ROM (it was the stock Samsung MK1), and it worked again with a previous AD version (1.7.6, based on ML4 if I remember well).
What is causing this ? it looks like S-Voice is unable to access the contact list...
I made some trials to understand why this phenomenon happens.
First I started with a backup of my actual ROM (ArchiDroid 1.7.9 based on Samsung NA7) and the content of my internal memory and SDcard.
Then, I tried to install the latest official 4.3 ROM for my version of the Galaxy S3 (code FTM, branded by Orange) : the firwmare is ML2.
I downloaded it and flashed it with Odin 3.09. I had the surprise after reboot to find my apps and parameters... I thought Odin would erase everything, but no, it has left everything.
So I made the test :
** Stock official Samsung ML2 : S-Voice fails. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), she writes "François Dupont" after the speech recognition, and stops.
So I made a factory reset, wiping data, internal memory and sd-card, entered my account, wait for the syncs to end, and started again :
** Stock official Samsung ML2 after full wipe : S-Voice fails. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), she writes "François Dupont" after the speech recognition, and stops.
So I decided to return to ArchiDroid 1.7.6 (based on ML4).
I flashed recovery through Odin and installed ArchiDroid 1.7.6, making a full wipe again, and test again after end of syncs :
** ArchiDroid 1.7.6 : S-Voice works perfectly. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), and after the speech recognition, she asks to select the phone number I want to send the message to, then requests the message to be sent, and proposes to send it.
I continued the test by installing ArchiDroid 1.7.7 (still based on ML4) over 1.7.6 (no wipe, using previous preset, only used the forced update mode of ArchiDroid installer).
** ArchiDroid 1.7.7 : S-Voice works perfectly. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), and after the speech recognition, she asks to select the phone number I want to send the message to, then requests the message to be sent, and proposes to send it.
So I continued the test by doing a backup and installing the ArchiDroid 1.7.9 (based on NA7) over 1.7.7. Strange thing is that it could not use my previous preset, I had to recreate it.
** ArchiDroid 1.7.9 : S-Voice fails. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), she writes "François Dupont" after the speech recognition, and stops.
I wiped everything, and restored the backup of 1.7.7, reboot and again :
** ArchiDroid 1.7.7 : S-Voice works perfectly. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), and after the speech recognition, she asks to select the phone number I want to send the message to, then requests the message to be sent, and proposes to send it.
I then tried to make a TB-backup of the ML4 apps (contacts, phone, s-voice and messages) and install the ArchiDroid 1.7.8 :
** ArchiDroid 1.7.8 : S-Voice fails. If I tell "her" to send a message, she asks who to send the message to, I say "François Dupont" (name has been changed), she writes "François Dupont" after the speech recognition, and stops.
I then tried to restore the different apps backup I had from ML4 and rebooted, but no way, S-Voice is still broken.
So I'm going to use ArchiDroid 1.7.7 for the moment.
If you've installed the whole bloatware before first boot, then there's no way that something could not work properly (I'm talking about .zip package).
Eventually you can compare my deodexed bases with stock bases, but I highly doubt that deodexing could cause such strange issues, especially because it works in some much more customized releases (ArchiDroid).
I'm going to read this all through, I've never been able to use the S voice.

I tried both, it does not change the behavior whether I flash the bloatware package before or after first boot. The only thing that seems to have an effect is the version of the base ROM.

I'm out of ideas then. You'd need to compare my deodexed base with stock base, it's the only thing which comes to my mind.

I agree with you, it seems the issue is not from your mods but from stock samsung firmwares. With the stock Samsung ML2 (official firmware) it doesn't work, but with your modded ML4 it is working.
I made this post mainly to inform you it was not your fault if S-Voice was failing, but only Samsung's fault.
The only thing I don't understand is why I'm the only one to report this issue.
Update : with the UGNB1 firmware, using the corresponding ArchiDroid ROM (v1.7.13), S-Voice is working correctly, it correctly resolves the contact's name and asks for the text of the message.:victory:
Hope Samsung will keep it the good way for future updates.
