I can't access my internet through Verizon on my Titan (XV6800), after I flashed the rom to DCD 4.1.2 and the radio to 3.42.50. Everything on it works perfectly fine including the phone service and sms texting just the data plan with Verizon didn't work. I also tried to contact Verizon for this matter but they're just telling me to do the "[email protected] and vzw" which isn't working at all.. I've also flashed back to the stock rom but no luck there.
I've read around and it seems like a lot of other people are having this problem? (but no luck finding someone who solved the problem) Anyways if you guys can share some info if you have the problem or if you fixed the problem..
CLIFFS:
Unlocked & Flashed XV6800
Programed 228
Phone and SMS works.. Data plan seems to FAIL
Get the "wrong username and password" (ERROR 11?)
VZW cant or wont do anything about it
In need of help....
TIA

So end to this thread:
-Problems with Data after flashing.
-Install "DCD Verizon Carrier CAB"
-Get a hold of a regular phone.
-Call Verizon or do it online but have them switch the esn of the regular phone to your account.
-Call to swap back

again,
(There might be other ways to do it as well.. such as resetting the dmu keys? but i didnt take this method so if your out of luck on obtaining a regular/extra phone call verizon asking if they know anything about resetting the dmu keys for you.. that or ask them to remove the data plan and add the data plan back again.)
I've also installed the DCD Verizon Carrier CAB... no luck.

Yep, I'm able to make calls and and send/receive sms messages.
Only thing not working on my phone is the data.. Im thinking of switching over to my old phone and then swapping back to my XV6800.. Since this is what people said worked for them.. I hope it does, im dying without the data. haha
bump for a solution?
esn swaps can be done online. it is fast and easy try that. I kinda suspect the rom has a problem and you will need to reflash.
yah im thinking its the rom also.. but ill give that esn swap a chance..
I have a big update..
I solved the problem by calling Verizon Wireless and swapping to a phone without any data plans.. then called them back a few minutes later asking to switch back to the xv6800 and adding on the data plan.
This seem to fix the problem, i've also flashed to a new rom which didn't really do anything untill I called them and switched phones..
So end to this thread:
-Problems with Data after flashing.
-Install "DCD Verizon Carrier CAB"
-Get a hold of a regular phone.
-Call Verizon or do it online but have them switch the esn of the regular phone to your account.
-Call to swap back
and this should do it.. This was my way to fix the problem so I hope that helps anyone out there with the same problem..

Is there any chance the Skype mobile apk file could be modified to work on T-Mo network?
Of course this thread might get the easy answers such as:
1) "No"
2) "It cant be done"
3) "It checks verizon's network?"
... but I'd be happier to hear from experts that know how it actually works/could be done.
Verizon skype apk: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rnwab1
No. It cant be done. It checks verizon's network.
Ok, helpful now... There's no need for Skype mobile.
Using it to call normal phone numbers uses minutes. The only free part is using it to call other Skype numbers. And you can already use Fring or Sipdroid from the Market to do this (AND do VoIP calls to normal numbers), so the Skype mobile app for Verizon is pretty much just crap.

Yeah your right it is pretty crappy that Skype put those restrictions on it by sleeping with the enemy (Big Red).
I was just going to see if it could work on T-Mo though because then I could get my family members to use it as well and make good quality voip calls like I could on the iPhone version.
SIPdroid is dear to my heart but the quality on outbound calls is pretty unusable for me, inbound is still good though. I tell all my friends that "if you get a call from me, dont pick up and just call me back."
Fring 3g quality was serviceable before but it was laggy (I would say something and the other person would start talking and then mid sentence would hear what I said and it would mess up the conversation). It probably has had some updates though so I will try it out again.
dunno if this helps but i read somewhere today that vonage is coming to tmobile and att with calls over wifi capability.
3 has got this for a long time now (no Android client yet) but the acctual calling is routed using a gsm center, no VOIP at all. I have installed the apk for t-mobile and it almost does the same thing ( it doesn't work outside tm network)

Just checked the Market. Vonage is there.
It looks like free USA calls, but only over wifi.

[Edit]: I'm reading the app comments and I don't understand, people are saying $5 pay as you go, etc.
So maybe you have to pay $5 a month for "free" wifi calls. I don't get it. Anyone tried it yet?

Is it really free over wifi?
Seems like false advertising.
[Edit]: Just signed up for Vonage -- it DOES work if you sign up using your Google Voice number, hahaha!

Thanks for the info you guys! I've made 3 calls over WiFi with Vonage app and the customer service reps say I sound crystal clear
Now for the real challenge boys... Since Vonage can make free domestic calls over wifi. How do we trick the N1, like on jailbroken iPhone's, into thinking its on wifi even if its on 3g?
Edit: The wifi calling is 100% free, dont add any money even if the app asks you for it (just press the back button to get rid of the prompt)

How do you KNOW it was making calls over wifi?
I just signed up and installed it, and no matter what I do, it always calls from my normal phone number, rather than my Google Voice number, which is what I chose during the sign up process.
Also, turning Airplane mode on and then turning Wifi on doesn't let me make any calls. It says disable airplane mode.
Is there a way to KNOW 100% whether the call is being routed over wifi or normal phone?

On my end I can guarantee that its making the calls through WiFi because of the data only plan I am on. T-Mo has two different types of $40/mo data plans:
1) $40/mo with T-mo hotspot access but cannot make ANY calls (except 911)
2) $40/mo without T-mo hotspot access but can make calls for $.10/min
I have the first option and if I try to make a regular call it says "the service you are attempting to use has been restricted or unavailable" and hangs up. Even if I try to make a call through GVoice it says the same thing so I know I cant make any cellular calls. But I can make a call through the Vonage app with WiFi (although I do have to have on Edge/3g with the WiFi your right).
I just checked my T-Mobile account as well and I dont see any minutes used either.
Now if only we can get this thing to think its on WiFi even if only on 3g!

I set Google Voice to "Do not use Google Voice to make any calls" to make sure it was only Vonage making the calls.
I'm tellin you guys this app works great on the free WiFi calls Just gotta hack the N1 for tricking it into thinking its on WiFi even while on 3g.
Lemme know if you guys have any trouble setting up the Vonage account to test...

When I set GV to not call intercept, it will just call using my normal phone number. Vonage just sits there doing nothing.
A few times the Vonage dialer has popped up (if I had GV set to make ALL calls), but then Vonage crashed (Force Close).
Bleh, must be an issue with the Desire caller =\
Fring is flawless with skype dumb easy to setup for idiots like myself
I use it w/o a simcard in my g1 and keep my sim in the n1
I tried this vonage doesn't seem to work with the sim card out or in...if any one can post the correct steps to make domestic calls over wifi on the vonage app please(w/o a sim card it the only sure way to know its using wifi only)

the app works.. but the calling not.. says invalid sim at the app. so cant do anything.
can you call via wifi?
but wth do you want to call via wifi?
it costs money too. and extra connection.
why will you use wifi when you can call 24/7 with your sim all day ?

i just called my house using it, im assuming it called using wifi because it skipped over "Call With Google Voice?" pop up that i set it to do everytime i call. I dont even use all my minutes so i probably wont be all over this app but atleast i have it

wifi calling costs many though?
i read on that app it just costs as much as cellulair data.
so why in earth will people use wifi calling? they can just call without wifi. its called a PLAN
I get invalid sim as well I am on vodafone and not |T-Mobile..
Maybe you could change it to work on Vodafone?
i have tmobile, maybe thats why? might have to do with the APN or something
yay this is good but the thing I see is that if you are calling it may be going to the t-mobile servers ofc if thats the case only t-mobile sims may be able to get unless we edit the apk or spoof our sim but then also im guessing the wifi calling costs so not sure how this would work xD nice though
totally non sense. how can someone call using wifi or whatever internet source you may have to any cellular or telephone number untill you don't have some service provider etc... if this wifi calling is working over the internet, what application is it using?
seems totally fake or irrelavent
This apps works because i put the phone in airplain mode and use wifi only.
If you guys having problem then maybe it your phone. But, my phone is working, be glad that you have wifi calling.
This an oct 22,2008 phone not even the iphone 3g has this feature.
I have t-mobile usa provider phone.

i find this hard to believe since when i put mine into airplane mode to test it it said "wifi calling not available in airplane mode". Ive been trying to edit the .apk and see if i can get rid of that but no luck so far, so how are u doing it?
My bad it doesnt do wifi calling on airplane mode my bad. It does wifi calling on wifi though..

quite right, you think we can get a workaround?
I dont know im going to buy a new phone because i miss adobe flash content so much. I know this is out of topic but i miss my original droid before it got messed up.
G1 is nice when it was a backup phone in 2010. My main phone in 2008/2009 most of the time, until i sold my cliq. But, now i just want a phone with higher specs.
I try playing gameloft games HD/3D games that isnt working because of processor we have.
This developer now a days is coding their apps to make it work with 3.5 inches and beyond, with higher frame,Power vr ship specs.
I love my g1, but im going to buy either g2 or hd 7.
I think i speak for everyone having an phone for to long loses it power in long run.
And, wifi calling on this app only work with T-mobile sim card and wifi of course.
There is a wifi app.
it was ripped off the G2 and ported to the vibrant, so it is possible.
however its not that good.
it was taken out of most roms on the vibrant because of its buggyness/uslessness.
it drains battery pretty bad even when not running.
it uses minutes even when calling through wifi (the only purpose of the app is to get clear signal in places where there is none for tmobile customers and not to save on minutes)
Its just kinda buggy overall.
hopefully they'll release a cleaner app in the future, but for now its pointless if you get decent signal at home.
Honestly, this apps work fine to me. Im just disappointed that the developer now a days isnt supporting older device by coding the apps to higher specs phone.
Wanted to get an android phone with wifi calling capability for a friend who is currently in Iraq. My budget will not allow me to a buy a g2/mt4g, and a g1 seems like the cheapest option so this is where I began looking. So if I added an extra line on my family plan, grabbed a g1, rooted and installed this app would my friend be able to make calls as long as he has a wifi connection? Can anyone confirm this works without any access to the tmobile network?

I'm not sure about on the g1, but on other phones it works, but it still uses t-mobile minutes.
so you can be away from the t-mobile network, but you still need to have a t-mobile plan and minutes.
its basicaly for those who have horrible signal at home, but do have a wifi connection.
I am no longer with AT&T and am wondering if it is possible to use the ATRIX 4g without being subscribed for phone service?
Just want to be able to give to my son so he can play games and surf internet over wifi.
If so, I will search the forum for a how to when I get home unless someone has the link handy and could post.
Thanks.
I don't see why it wouldn't work. It doesn't need to be activated to use. You might get a no sim error, but I don't know how persistent it is.

You can leave the sim card in the device, just make sure the phone is set to flight mode.

Agreed put it in airplane mode to save battery. You can still use it to make voip calls via GrooVe IP or a similar app.
I did this with my original droid. The difference is my OG droid is a CDMA phone and the Atrix is GSM.
If you rooted/bootloader unlocked/have a custom rom installed then I think it should be a simple process. If you did not do any of these things before you dropped service you might have issues with activation - but again I dont know how this would work with a GSM phone my experience with with a verizon CDMA phone.
I think odd are good you should be able to get it to work fine. I Use my old droid to listen to podcasts, stream google music, and as an alarm clock.
Just make sure he doesn't try to dial 911, you can still make emergency calls with no SIM installed.

CDMA or GSM shouldn't make a difference, I play with my old Captivate (GSM, no sim) all the time. Its not like the wifi/Android Market stops working if you dont pay your bill! I assure you, OP, you CAN use your Atrix in the way you described.
Root the phone and freeze the dialer?

I think airplane mode disables Wi-Fi so you might need to disable the radio for better battery life but keep Wi-Fi enabled for internet access.

Airplane does disable WiFi if you have it on when you initiate Airplane mode, but then you just turn wifi back on no problem.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and search the option to turn off the radio ;D

I just bought a used I337. It was on firmware UAMDL.
The problem that I have with this phone(i337 on UAMDL) that I just got is that it does not establish data connection. It will only do so when I call somewhere.
However as soon as the phone is left alone and go idle for couple minutes then it would drop data connection again.
Only way to re establish data connection is by dialing a number to place a call.
Anybody know how to fix this annoying problem?
I have also noticed the original owner made a copy of efs back up in the internal sd card.
I wonder why he created such back up. Could this be related to the issue that I am having?
I have 2 other i337 in the household that are pe rfectly fine.
IS there anything that I could do to fix the phone that I just bought.

Did you check to make sure you have the right apn setup? in settings under mobile networks access point names make sure they are the same as one of your working phones....
Have you Odin'd the stock firmware? I'd do that with a used phone I bought.

Thank you. It sounds silly but this solved the problem.
I don't know why it wanted me to reset or re input APN when it was set to pick it up auto and it did when placing calls.
Now it picks up connections auto and stays on.
