[Q] i think i mucked something up in ##3282#

Hi all,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978
I was following the directions in that thread and seem to have mucked something up. I went into ##3282#, edit, advanced. And per the instructions in that thread i was changing the HTTP PD Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0 and 0.0.0.0
Only when i was changing the address, i think i accidentally inserted a return in there, so that the address really was:
0.0.0
0.0.0.0
Now when i try to go back in there, it either hangs at reading 76% of the settings, or it just crashes before it gets that far.
I changed the port and was in the process of changing the address when the app crashed when i clicked ok.
Is there any other way for me to reset/correct that info, other then doing a factory reset?
thanks

If you cant access the MSL screen and you want to revert your default settings back then i dont see that you have any other option. If you have a nandroid of your current ROM just flash that in recovery. Either that or reflashing the ROM again. Its probaly wisest to do that anyway if you want the defaults back. It seems that some people are having issues with the network speeds even after changing them back and updating their profile.

i can get into the msl screen - it's just one section that blows up - advanced. if i try going into that section (edit or view) it crashes. I can go into the other sections ok. I was just hoping there was some other way to fix that one area.
Unfortunately i dont have a backup of my current set up - but not really a big deal for me to set it backup again. Stupid of me though - i should have ran a backup just before trying to make the change.

Well you can try doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10830178&postcount=153
I tried locating the files he was referring to but i only have Estrongs, which im not too familiar with, and i couldnt navigate the UI properly cause im exhausted and about to crash. But check it out. You might be able to avoid reflashing and setting everything up again.

heh damn ... guess i need more patience. i already went ahead and reflashed it. oh well, guess now i know for next time. thanks for the help and link

don't manually upgrade to 2.3.4

there seems to be at least 3 users who can't connect to a network after manually upgrading judging from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13417499
it may be best to wait for an ota upgrade. (and let's not fill with this thread with "it works for me" please.)

I'll update my ota thread
Sent from my Nexus S

I hope google can quickly send all the ota. There should be some people try every efforts by downgrade then upgrade or going thru any path to get the 2.3.4, may finally mess up the phone ...

it seems impossible to downgrade.
google, you broke my phone.

Do you have the correct build number?

Try flash an older ROM first, then flash a known working radio for your phone. Hope that gets your phone working again.

under the battery, it's a gt-i9020
the ssn is i9020gsmh

Manually flashed my Nexus S and now im having poor reception/disconnects on 3G data. Also my GPS didnt improve. Im not rooted and have stock android.
Did I do something wrong while upgrading to 2.3.4? Can i revert to 2.3.3?

I did the manual update for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 nothing went wrong

i manually done mine and have no such problem.

let's stop with the "i did it, and i'm ok" posts, which if you read in op, you'll see i wrote the same.

i too unable to connect to network. APN still there but i can't connect to network. But i still able to downgrade to previous version. if unable to, try restore from the latest nandroid backup? i manage to restore to my CM7.0.2. im gonna wait for a bit longer~~~

did any of you try to use your SIM in a other phone? did it work?
did any of you requested support of your carrier ?
and did any one delete their APN's(yes all of them,total reset.factory ect ect)
and tryd to retype the apn settings manually??
DID any one of you guys notice you have to set the IPV4 and IPV6 options in APN Editor????
or did any one RESET your sim?(yes you can,there are codes for that.ask your carrier)
if i want to connect to my carrier's APN i have to fide a bit with the setting and leave things out.
like BEN.NL( T-mo) says APN type needs to be: internet.
if i type internet in the APN type.
my network(3G ect) wont work.
i i leave APN type empty.
all works fine.

i didn't try other simcard because i only have 1. but i do check my APN setting, and it's all the same as previously. i don't know what went wrong, but i will stick to my cm7.0.2.. until next version of cm support 2.3.4. i can't live without CM goodies

everything fine here on 2.3.4 manual update..
i just need to root now.

There have only been certain variants of 2.3.4 released. If you flashed the wrong one, could be your problem and anyone else that decided to cowboy the upgrade

unlocked and upgraded to 4.5.91 NO DATA :(

Hello guys,
I have a sim unlocked, bootloader unlocked, 4.5.91 gingerbread, AT&T atrix 4g on Fido network in Canada.
I made the apns using the same apns from when i was using .81 but I can not seem to connect via 3g/2g/gprs. The only way to use the internet is via WIFI.
What do you think is the problem?

try a reboot...

I'v rebooted at least 10 times now

did you make a backup?
You can go into your Mobile Settings and do a 'reset to defaults'.. otherwise, if you made a backup of you system file, you can copy 'apns-config.xml' from /System/etc to the same directory on you phone...
I had the same issue, I just did the 'reset to defaults' and got my apns back.. but going to copy my previous apns-config.xml file cus that had custom apns..
hope that helps..

I alread have tried reseting to default and adding the APN's again.
as far as system back ups, I dont have one

You can find the apn settings online, i would create a new apn and put those settings you find in. I had issues with mine, and when I did that, it fixed my problems. I put a link below that has the apn settings.
androidforums.com/htc-inspire-4g/276917-inspire-4g-apn-settings.html
Edit: sorry, I didn't realize you weren't using att...but same idea, just manually set up your apn network

Also, you could have the wrong mobile radio installed. I know that they are set to pick up certain frequencies and that radio might not work on fido.

Hmm.. that is weird, maybe you can pull the apns-config.xml from one of the Bell ROMS or from one of the P-ROMs floating around in Dev section to replace what you have now for APNs... just adb it to /System/etc/ , then reboot and go back into your APN settings to see if doing another reset to defaults will work if they don't show up after the reboot..

How do I check what radio version I have installed?
as far as icons are concerned, I get H+ icon

Go to about phone in settings and its under baseband version. I had a similar but not same problem, which was solved by resetting the apns as that seemed not to work in your case. I would try to flash a new radio.

How do i flash a new radio? sorry for being such a noob

Ah.
Here is a new radio:
http://briefmobile.com/download-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-for-motorola-atrix-4g
Its at the bottom and for you I would use the .sbf, i have no clue whether this will work with your carrier... If you would prefer a .zip to flash with CWM I can give you one

I have the same problems after 2 day of 4.5.91 update I loss the complete data conection, any apn that I usualy use work, I dont have any idea to solver the problems, work only for wifi, I use a diferent radios and is not solver the problem. I have a atrix AT&T root + bl unlock + 4.5.91 + 30p radio.

Here's a CWM zip file of ton of APNs. Just install and go to your APN list and reset to default. If it's an APN issue. As far as radio, not sure which you need for your area. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1189497&v=1&libid=1313370618834&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.multiupload.com%2FXW7FT9N3Z4&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fforumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D997&title=%5BROM%5D%20CHERRY%CF%80%20%26%20%CF%80CRUST%20v0.7%20%5BAT%26T%5D%20%5BINTL%5D%20%5BGB%5D%20%5BD3%20Camera%20w%2F%201080p%5D%20-%20xda-developers&txt=%3CFONT%20size%3D5%3ELarger%20APN%20List%20from%20v0.3%3C%2FFONT%3E&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13133705901661

Is not a APN problem, i dont know why but i loss the data connection after upgrade and BL unlock...
if anybody has a solution, please, post it.

Lastly, these are the fido APN settings I use; they work as a single APN.

Just a (possibly) stupid question, but after you reset to default and input your apn settings, are you clicking on it so that it is highlighted in green?
If all of that doesn't work, I would try re-flashing whichever rom you are using through CWM recovery and see what happens.

MetroPCS MMS Guide On Ice Cream Sandwich
Guide for MetroPCS MMS on IceCreamSandwich written 4/4/2012 blazinbear82 last updated 4/29/2012
There are similar guides to this but nothing written for the ICS and no developers making a Metroff ICS so here is the first ICS guide.
Credit to the Metroff Team. I Just took their files and inserted them directly into the rom.
Confirmed Working Phones and Roms
Droid 3
...Hashcodes Cyanogenmod 9
...Hashcodes [SELFKANG ICS AOSP ROM] "AOKP" (Android Open KANG Project)
Maverick 4.0 (Gingerbread) only sends mms on mms.apk receives on any
HTC Evo 4G
...Decks ICS PB14 Rom
Preface
Have phone flashed to Metropcs with internet and have it rooted.
Needed
1.) Metroff 1.3.zip Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?q83m25ls8p5vnvi.
2.) Rootexplorer.apk I will not post a link for it because its a paid app but i will suggest you go search 4shared
3.) Systemappremover.apk look in 4shared again
4.) Go to the Market and download GoSMS on your phone.
5.) A Good Working Brain
6.) And Some time
Instructions:
Step 1.) Install systemappremover... open... choose system apps... find the stock mms app and remove. This is necessary.
Step 2.) Download Metroff.zip (look at the link above.)
Step 3.) Boot using safestrap... should also work with other recoveries like clockwork
Step 4.) Install zip from sdcard..(choose metroff 1.3 zip file)
At this point if you reboot and your mms is working than you are golden. The Metroff.zip file works as it should for your rom. You may stop reading and enjoy your mms. Thanks Metroff team. If not continue with the guide.
If it did not work for you than at this point you will probably only get a starting run on build.prop (one of the files that needs to get modified).
Step 5.) Boot your phone up and download rootexplorer.apk and install and open i think (u might find it using 4shared perhaps).
Step 6.) Extract the Metroff 1.3 zip file (the one you downloaded earlier and ran in safestrap/clockwork. It will probably be under your download directory in your internal sdcard i would look under /sdcard/downloads.) Extract by holding the file for a couple seconds to bring up options. Choose extract it will then download to your internal sdcard under /sdcard/extracted.
Step 7.) You will be moving the files from Metroff.zip into the root of your system file. click the mount r/w if you need to write to your root. its the button that sits on top of the root explorer at all times.
Step 8.)Once you have found the extracted files start by going to the data folder find eri.xml and and mpcs.sql
move those to the /data folder of your root. do not go back yet to get the other files stop here. hold a file for couple sec to bring up options and choose permissions check off all the checks. (to be honest i am not sure which files need what permissions so i just gave permissions to all the files included in the metroff zip file)
You may skip the folder called META-INF and the file mpcs.sh (for now) these seem to be files created to make the zip install under recovery. so ignore those. Do install the the mms.apk it is needed, although you will be using gosms which works a whole lot better.
Step 9.) Go to the xbin and pull sqlite3 and replace the sqlite3 that is on the root of your device under system xbin and give full permissions as well.
Step 10.) Go to /system and find build.prop.. hold the file and click open in text editor.
You must edit the following... if its not already named than match it..
ro.product.brand = metropcs
ro.telephony.default network=4
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310027
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = MetroPCS
before exiting hit the menu and save
Step 11.) Notice this wasnt here its a big edit.. go back to the extracted folder find mpcs.sh click it and hit execute..
Step 12.) Go to root/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony find databases folder find telephony.db
this is crucial.. hit view. hit the carriers. you should see a table with different carriers.. somewhere on this list you shoud find numeric 310027
with metropcs information in case for some reason metropcs informaion. if you already have the metropcs information leave it as is. if not you will have to download sqlite editor not free in the market (try 4shared).. and create new record with the following
id.. last in your list or whatever number you wish to give it
name .. MetroPCS
numeric 310027
mcc 310
mnc 027
apn internet
user *
server *
password *
proxy blank
port blank
mmsproxy blank
mmsport blank
mmsc http://mms.metropcs.net/mmsc
mmsc2 blank
authtype -1
type blank
inactivetimer blank
enabled.. 1
iptype blank
class blank
current 1 should change when build prop matches this
spn blank
protocol ip
roaming protocol ip
preloaded true
you should come back to this file after reboot and verify that this is active you will have a 1 in front of current and you should not have a 1 on any other carriers for example verizon in current because your prop.build is saying to use numeric 310027
Step 13.) Download GoSMS from the Playstore (Market).
Open the advance settings tab of GoSMS and choose maximum mms size and choose 500k. (needed)
Again Under GoSMS advanced settings find send settings and check split large messages. (needed)
Step 14.) reboot now.
Test/Troubleshoot
Recheck all the files make sure everyone of those files has permissions at full including the build.prop and make sure the files are where they should be.
I also gave a couple of folders full permissions which were /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and everything inside of that full permissions.
also data/data/com.android.mms and everything under that full permissions.
Notes
1.) You may edit the /data/eri.xml file after EriText="MetroPCS" or whatever you like this is the text you will see when you do the pull down the window.
2.) I recommend u get the ics theme for gosms to fulfill the ics experience.
3.) The stock mms.apk that you install doesnt seem to work but the gosms does. Stick to that although some mms sometimes go through mms.apk from the metroff file.
3.) Remember to give thanks.
4.) Follow up with me... Tell me what worked for u what didnt work for you so that i can get all the right settings included... I might of missed something. I will comeback and edit. Remember i just played around with the metroff.zip files
5.) If This Worked for you ask for this to be sticky.

i guess u will be the first to try it out. let us know. can i ask who flashed it to metro. u or someone else.. if u didnt do it i ask why not... if u wanna learn u got to do stuff urself u only learn by trial and error.
3g is not real in metropcs most places. ur stock rom prolly dosent include a 1x icon so it reverts to the 3g one. the ics rom has a 1x so u will get that instead. i might be wrong but this is very real i know in cali i have no 3g from metro but know that florida texas and new york metro supports 3g so if u were in a real 3g supported area ur icon would go from one 1x to 3g.

Method 3:
Flash Phone Number-specific APNs
This script I created will add your phone number to the APNs file and create a flashable zip for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have a zip binary, likely located at /system/xbin. If not, flash zip_binary_flashable.zip from recovery.
2) Ensure you have busybox. Stericson's 1.22.1 definitely works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox. Others may not, try Stericson's before reporting problems.
3) Unzip the vzw_apn_patch zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
4) Edit phone.txt with your 10-digit phone number (no dashes, no "1" at the beginning)
5) Open an Android Terminal
6) Run "cd /sdcard/your_folder"
7) Run "sh patch.sh"
8) Reboot to recovery and flash PATCHED_APNS.zip

I maintain a ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and was alerted to this APN modification that fixes MMS issues which seem to plague many toro users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50958379&postcount=86 . So I decided to whip up a quick script for the Android terminal that will add your phone number to the APNs file and place it on /system/etc for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Unzip vzw_apn_patch.zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
2) Edit phone.txt with your phone number (no dashes)
3) Open an Android Terminal
4) Run "su"
5) Run "cd /sdcard/<your folder>"
6) Run "sh patch.sh"
Let's start with this for now. I can add Windows and Linux/Mac versions if anyone would want that. I can also have my script create a flashable zip for the APNs file.

A flashable APN zip would be really nice.
Thanks for getting this out there for us!

so i tried this, thanks for the fix btw.
I put in the number with no dashes or 1 at the begining (i tried with the 1 at first and it wasn't working(all the run commands etc went through but after reboot, mms on 3g still not sending
so after taking out the 1 at begining of the number in the phone.txt file.. running the steps of commands and seeing poo's script(?) do it's thing in the terminal: after another reboot when terminal requested the mms on 3g still would not send, using 8sms app, hmmm any ideas what might be going wrong?
I am using latest clean install version of cmremix.. toro gnexus, THANKS!

So you ended up running the script twice, first with a "1" at the beginning, then without? And you didn't delete everything in the folder before trying the second time? Not saying that you necessarily should have, I'm just not sure how my rather simple script would handle such a case.
Take a look at /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Does the first APN line correctly match:
<apn carrier="LTE - Verizon Internet" mcc="311" mnc="480" apn="VZWINTERNET" type="default,supl,mms,dun" user="your number[/B][/U]@vzwpix.com" password="null" server="null" mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=your number" protocol="IPV4V6" roaming_protocol="IPV4V6" bearer="14" />

great reply! so i checked and the 1 is still in there in the number(in the xml file you had me check), I must have messed up the process or something, can I fix it? I tried to re-run the first time and it confirmed that it worked and prompted reboot etc, you think I should try again or did I miff it up by doing something i shouldn't have in the first place:/ ha sorry for the hassle!
To be clear when I went back into the phone.text file on the sd card in the folder, I was unable to edit from the phone(rookie move probably) so I plugged into laptop and still couldn't edit it so I deleted the file directly off the (phone.txt) then created a new phone.txt file on the desktop put in correct number no 1 this time or dashes of course. hmmmmm
Then put file in folder and reran scripts in terminal and rebooted and here we are hmmm

When you run the script, it takes the template xml, adds in your phone number, and renames it to apns-conf.xml. Then this gets copied over to /system/etc which is where it needs to be. But my script doesn't delete that apns-conf.xml from your sdcard. So when you reran it the second time, it may have not created the new apns-conf.xml because the old one was still there. And then the script just recopied the old one to /system/etc. I think if you delete apns-conf.xml from the sdcard and start over, you'll probably get it this time.
Clearly I still have some tweaking to do. Thank you very much for the feedback by the way.

hah didn't think of that, perfect!
So i reran the script after deleteing the apn file and confirming it was gone etc, now looking at the html file as before i see the 1 is in fact not there so yay, but mms isn't sending, well it says still sending, although sms does work hmm
---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------
i tried with stock messaging at that last time, I will try with 8sms now
---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------
K, so the verdict is it's not sending I can add myself to the mms (group) message or whatever and I receive it but the other people do not hmm, I would love to be able to use mms and 3g instead of only 4g on a lot of these ROMS:highfive:

cool cool! thanks for the info and efforts! If figure out what I'm doing wrong or anything I'll make a post

New version of the tool added to the OP. It's much more elegant now. It'll remove old files that will conflict first if they exist, put your phone number in the APNs file, create a flashable zip, and output the APN line in question so that you can verify that it was substituted correctly. The script will NOT go ahead and replace your APNs on /system like the last one did, you need to flash the zip from recovery. Make sure to read the updated instructions in the OP.

I don't know if this will help, but I was one of those Toro users who was having MMS issues on Liquid's KK roms. MMS would send/receive on 4g but not on 3g (or lower). This was particularly vexing and noticeable to me because I spend a large amount of time in marginal data areas and deal with a sizable number of group texts. (And before I get jumped on, I understand not every user has the issue). I tried every suggestion I saw to get MMS to function but nothing worked (assorted text clients, playing with APNs, etc). Based on a suggestion in one of the threads, I switched over to the SlimKat rom. I haven't had any MMS issues on 5.9 or 6.6 (the only two I have tried thus far).
Slim uses a proprietary gapps set, Liquid points you to the standard PA gapps. I would not think that is a factor, but I mention it just in case.
I say this not to praise one rom over another, but if one of you master coders could figure out what Slim is doing vs. what Liquid is doing, it may help get to the bottom of the issue.

My gut tells me that this is not a gapps issue and that it's an APN problem. I downloaded slim's latest toro build and looked at their APNs and they are significantly different than LS's.
So let's try this... I put Slim's APNs file into a flashable zip. Those of you that have MMS problems, try flashing the attached zip and see what happens.

testing slims now.. will report back..
ive attached the verizon section of the apn file from my rom. if you compare, you can see that slims is quite similar, but adds more duplicate entries with different "bearers." hmm..

MMS was previously NOT working for me at home on the east coast. i mention this because it DID work in alaska, which makes me suspect that Verizon changed their APNs at some point and the 3rd party carrier in alaska (alaska communications) still uses the older APNs.
ROM in sig: CM-REMIX on toro. Now, tested multiple times and working, even with Wifi on.

Well I'll be damned. Who knew that getting past this vzw mms bug was just a matter of using slim's apns?!?! If we could get a few more people to confirm this, I think we can run with it!
