messaging service stopped working

[jetherson]

[solved!]

hey guys.

something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.

anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

:(

Try flashing Mitchy's rom. ;)

the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.

unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk? ;)

i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?

im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.

ciao!

if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem

since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.

those programs might be good,

but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.

making your SMS useless.

so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.

yay! time to buy a new one ;) the perfect excuse

hey allgamer,

what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.

i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.

the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.

another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.

anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.

UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.

ciao!
