Ive had my phone rooted via the poot and ministro process for a few months now. And recently Ive been using Wifi Tether to get online at home. Running the tether for long periods of time puts the phones internal heat up into the 110-120's. So I started setting my phone on my window cill, cause its cold, and it keeps the phone in the high 80's, low 90's. Well yesterday I was in the dining room using tether and there wasnt a window nearby, so I did it without it. After around an hour or so, I went to my room. Sometime from the dining room to the kitchen, something happened to my phones connectivity/service/date, which one Im not quite sure. But as I got to my room, the phones hotspot wasnt nearly as fast as it used to be. So I immediately stopped tethering, and noticed my bars were as high as 1 or 2 (out of 6), sometimes not having any bars (but never getting an X next to them, indicating lost service). Getting really worried, I looked up quickly some other instances, but couldnt find anything relating specifically to my problem. Fortunately, after about an hour, my signal started reaching 4 and 5 bars, eventually reaching full connectivity again. But when I started sending texts I was having problems. They either never got to whom I was sending, or they would get them and there'd be a "0" between each letter, such as: Thanks for you help = T0h0a0n0k0s0 f0o0r0 y0o0u0r0 h0e0l0p0. This only happend once, but its never happened before, so I was worried futher.
So I started looking up how to return my phone to stock, and used the guide that had an easy and advanced process, the easy ones guide was a Noob something? Anyways, the easy process worked, and I returned my phone to stock. (Although I dont think it worked, cause was still rooted from when i pooted a few months back). Anyways, being the techy junkie I am, I tried installing custom ROMS. First I used Harmonia 2.03 ROM, which was okay. Except still, my phones texting and calling was sketchy. So I installed the ICS Elite ROM. This one I loved. But I couldnt get the poot/ministro rooting process to work and under the about phone, it said I was using a Virgin Mobile ROM, so i booted into CWM recovery and restored my phone to regular stock.
I have signal, and phonecalls are sketchy, but work both ways (as far as i know). But the texting is infuriating. I can send them some of the time (they always say sent), but I hardly get them back. And when I do, its all of them suddenly at once, for reasons beyond me. I can also use the data just fine. Im using facebook at the moment for my texting purposes.
I guess what Im asking, is if anyones got the know-how to tell me how to fix it, or to atleast recognize whats going on and point me in the right direction.
Thanks for you time reading the lengthy problem. If it doesnt relate to you, Im sorry for wasting your time. Thanks in advance!
