Hello all here is the issue. My girlfriend has the HtC vivid and I have rooted it and obtained s-off with the wire trick. After I was done with this I attempted to find a good ROM for flashing there are very few. I decided on Virtuous Inquisition after installing VI I was fairly happy with the outcome no sense is the goal here. After the flash I noticed the signal bars not working like descired in almost all the non-sense HtC vivid ROMs. This seemed like no problem because the phone still technically had service right?
-well after using it for a few days my girlfriend disconvered that her text messages would fail to send sometimes actually sending them sometimes not. It would take serveral attempts to send the message and once it finally sent the recipent would sometime recieve for than one messages even though the vivid says it only sent 1. The same thing occured with phone calls she would have to try to call someone four or five times before it would go through. It also works the other way and sometime she will not get messages or calls for long periods of time.
This all occurs in VI and in [TEAM CODEFIRE][ICS]De-Sensed Rom by Wajee 1.6. I have tried using the stock kernel and the provided kernel with both of these as well. I have also used several different APNs and they all do the same thing.
I just flashed the stock kernel and ROM back on to the device and I am seeing if she has any problems. Could the wire trick have damaged the phone? I have not heard of anyone else having this problem.
What else can I try
Both of the desensed ROMs have plenty of issues. Wajeeh's is probably the better bet if you wanna stick with no sense. Otherwise Google wcx illuminati and go with that. It's the best ROM for the vivid by a LONG shot.

Thanks for the reply the phone is on stock ICS now so I might try to flash wajee again from stock. Are you using the kernel that comes with the ROM?

I always flash the faux007 kernel because i get better battery life with it. you can always try different ones to see how they run
Well I think I found my problem. I unlocked the boot loader on the phone the first time I flashed a ROM but re locked it. I just noticed it was lock so I unlocked it and installed wajee 1.6 and so far so good.

Hi guys, I've had this phone since last year and it was on 2.2 froyo. I decided to use alpharevx and s-off my phone and all that. Later on bell sent an ota so I went back to s-on and it installed everything fine running 2.3.3 gingerbread. Since then I've been getting delayed SMS and all that and its very annoying! Sometimes messages take 10 minutes to 2 hours to receive messages! I've tried flashing different radios but didn't fix the issue. Should I just send my phone in?? Thanks. Also HBoot is 2.00 and radio is the latest from Bell.

So are you S-On again?
Nope, trying out Nik's sensation xl Rom again, haven't gotten a delayed message yet. But when I was on Virtuous Affinity I'd get delayed messages a lot!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
I'm running IceColdSandwich 6.2 and I don't have any delay issues but some are so I'm not sure exactly if it's a radio issue or a location issue.
Guess I'll have to find out, I just don't wanna have to send my phone in haha.

What version radio are you running?

Same problem
Yup, I have the same problem. I get delayed SMSes or sometimes, not at all. Sometimes the calls do not come in (people who call me receive the message 'the phone is unreachable' when in my phone there is 3-4 bars of signal showing).
Don't know what the problem is. I am on Virtuous Quattro RC3 (ICS rom). I tried to go back to stock with S-ON , but the OTA updates did not work, so reflashed

Check the SMS issue and let us know if this new radio helps.
Happened before and a factory reset fixed it. Just tried to install the kangbang custom kernel (I have S-off'd my vivid) and it's happening again. Any ideas why/how to fix it? will factory reset fix it while letting me keep the custom kernel?
I thought kangbang didn't work on stock roms. I would try flashing a different kernel

Read through and it seems you're right. Just tried a different one that says it's compatible with all vivid rooted stock and custom roms... which mine is stock rooted... and same thing. any ideas?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575568 < kernel i tried
I see a bunch of instructions that include going in to some folders that dont exist on my phone.
I'm done with this crap, where can I download the stock kernel and just use the phone like it was meant to? this isn't worth the hassle it's giving me at all.
KB is still screwed up on Holiday base. Don't waste your time; even if it boots, you won't see a lot of its performance benefits.

Since I'm too new here to post in the Dev section, the simple solution to fix google maps crashing issue is to downgrade to version 6.9.2. I can't tell you the technical reason why 6.11.1 won't work other than from what I've read, it has something to do with HTC. I was running VI and maps was rebooting my phone. I'm running wajee's ROM v1.6 now and maps would also reboot my phone, so it wasn't a specific rom or a specific kernel as the different roms use different kernels, so it had to be the maps. I found a .apk of 6.9.2 on google and its been perfect for days now.
Now, an interesting note... My wife's vivid is stock and is running 6.11.1 with no issues, so maybe its the base these custom roms are built on? I don't know!
So downgrade to 6.9.2 for now and you'll be fine.

thanks for this mate, i was reading around cuz a few guys running similar custom ROMs have experience this. i will quote you on the DEV section and let the others know.
Just tried the newest version of maps that came out today (9/19/12 or 19/09/12 for my worldly friends) and still crashing and burning. going back to 6.9.2

nothing, thats the issue. I launch the app and without even touching it after that, the app reboots the phone within seconds. I've tried different roms and kernels, but still the same. I've cleared the cache and data from maps and still the same. I've even tried wiping the dalvik cache and nothing works, except reverting back to 6.9.2. Strange...

The issue, like u said is the base to which most custom Rooms are based of. Dark raider wouldn't b affected by that cuz its purely and entirely based of of the original 4.0 stock Rom. I have been trying to find the exact couse of the problem but I have yet not been able to. .. I will keep at it and keep u posted. And for now. We just got to stick to 6.9v of maps until this gets solve..

I've been running holics 1.3 as my dd for a long time but I'm looking for something new. I heard the Pac Rom is nice. Anyone recommend anything better then go holics?
Thanks!
P.s. does PlayStation certified mean I can play psp games?

i'm running holics as well on my vivid and was also looking for a new one. I think i am going with the touchwiz rom made by xXSHaDoWsomethingXx based off of Pacman, you might want to take a look at that.

PacMan is good & stable. The battery life is good as well. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a change.

Noob questions
Hi,
I'm new here and I need to ask a couple of things. I really want to root the phone and work with it because the battery is killing me with its phenomenally short live.
So, the 2 questions. What rom would you recommend as worth to try? For what I have been reading Paranoid or PAC appears to be the one with almost no problems related to phone operability.
And the second question is where I can find a proper guide on how to root this phone? I am not new to rooting a phone have done that before with an HTC desire and a Galaxy S2 but I am having a hard time finding a proper guide to root the HTC vivid.
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my noob questions.
There is a super guide in development

Been using Borked, awesome rom.
Borked 2.5 beta is a good choice. For being a beta it doesn't have very many bugs from what i've seen.
PAC, Paranoid Android, and cyanogen mod are all good. I'll give a link to a ton of ROMs that you can try.

I've tried almost every ROM. JB ROMs isn't to att friendly as the in call volume is super low. first on ma list is virtouis inquisition on battery life an performance and sound quality second is darkraider has aroma installer and like 7 kernels to choose from an a whole bunch of install options and if u wanna change any of the kernels are settings offered to u in the install just reflash zip an gives u option to change setting super clean an super easy to use also very good on battery life performance and sound in audio and in call. jb ROMs I like cm10 with sultan kernel developed by a super smart 15 year old xda developer he's the only one working on the volume fix as we speak as and yes fixed a whole bunch of jelly bean ROM problems and the thing that flips my head the most is he don't even own or have a vivid
i'm also running cm10 with sultan kernal. runs great, no issues. if you use it you cant get the most up to date version of gapp's, there's a slightly older version that works with the vivid/cm10 much better
Seriously gotta try borked 3.2, its amazing.

Hi. After I rooted my phone, I didn't get any signals on my phone anymore. Only gets "No service".... Tried to wipe everything in the recovery, and such, but without any luck. This was when I was using the Stock ROM. I ended up flashing AOKP that worked, but I missed the HTC camera, and some other HTC stuff, so when HTC released it's version of Android 4.2.2, then I desided to try it again... Choose Revolution HD, so I could remove some stuff during installation, in Aroma.
But then again: No service Can connect to WiFi, but I would love to be able to call and text, so I'm very glad if someone could help me out.
Hi.
Found out that I in a way sorted out the problem; if I activate, then deactivate "Aeroplane mode", then I get service.
The strange thing is that I need to do that on each boot...
Anyone know why this happens? Have wiped. And this, as mentioned earlier, happens on both stock and Revolution HD :/

this happned to me today, flashing stock 2.24. no idea how to get over it.. have you managed to do anything about it?
Nope. But I will try to go back to stock again Several times a day I have to enable/disable "aeroplane mode" because the 2G/3G network stops working, and when I reboot I don't even get a signal for GSM. Enabling/disabling aeroplane mode works each time, but so annoying!
