Rogers New Updates for HTC dream/Magic

I got a txt message from rogers saying that an update is available for the 911 calling issue, and dis update also includes the SenseUI,
now how will dis effect on the rooted HTC Dream phones
shud I unroot the phone to get dis update
or will CyanogenMod give us a new update with SenseUI

yeah i got that txt msg too, said somethign about the internet going down too

The 911 issue is fixed in all 1.6 roms including cyanogenmod. If you want SenseUI then flash a rom that has that in it. This really doesn't change anything for rooted users except that we will get a credit on our bill.

yas we vl get a credit
by the way im getting my magic on monday so i vl have the update in dat
is da internet goes down for a month o wht

My worry is that Rogers will shut off internet access to our rooted Dreams untill we install this patch, regardless of whether we need it or not. Any word on whether this will screw over rooted phones?

the text I got on my magic said:
"In order to help ensure 911 calls are completed internet access will be temporarily disabled..... To minimize loss of internet service please complete your software update immediately. Upon completion, internet access will be re enabled within 24 hours."
Does that mean until I update I don't get internet. Its okay with the magic but My dream has a different MOD so I can't exactly update it :S does that mean I wont be be able to to use my data :S ever...

thats my worry with the txt i got, i called rogers and said i had 1.6 software already and he said the internet shouldnt be an issue then. we will see i guess..
says the "internet will be effective as of 01/24/2010 6:00am EST."

Here is wht Mary from rogers says abt the update
Hi There. Just wanted to jump in to clarify one point. Data will not be disabled until tomorrow - Sunday, January 24 - at 6am for those who have not updated their device with the 911 fix. With safety being the highest priority, this was a necessary step to ensure 911 calls will complete on all devices.
If you are currently having issues, I suggest you call Technical Support.

I think you have to wait till Monday to find out. Everybodies internet will be shut off tomorrow regardless of root or not. It will be off for 24 hours. Question is, will those of us who have rooted have internet access on Monday.

Just got off phone, spoke to someone at Rogers office of the president, he said there are no exceptions. If you don't have Rogers Build Number greater than 1.89 , you will lose internet access.
Fix would be to replace build number in prop file with a rogers style build number

AFAIK, there is only 1 Magic rom that would pass that test.

About Rogers service interruption
I think my biggest issue is with this "RogersMary" person on the AndroidForums, and the conflicting information I get from phoning tech support vs. her (is she an official support person? She inferrs she is by her ID and the tone of her posts but I wonder...).
Here is my "911 Saga" w/ Rogers:
* get a series of French and english SMS from Rogers: first to diable GPS to make sure 911 works, then that an update is available at rogers.com that is mandatory--it says internet would be shut off for up to 24 hours starting Sunday at 6AM (no time zone given--I assume Eastern but could be pacific based on the IP addresses my phone gets, or could be my local Mountain time). It says to "prevent FURTHER disruption" upgrade your phone BEFORE the outage starts.
* I go to rogers.com and get instructions. Requires WinXP or Vista. I don't have any windows computers at all here (I have a Mac and a Linux computer at my disposal). Supremely annoying!
* I google for answers, find RogersMary's posts on AndroidForums saying 2 things: If your PC doesn't meet support requirements phone, and in so many words that only those that don't upgrade their phone will lose their internet so stop fussing and update already.
* phone rogers tech support. I ask for instructions to upgrade my phone without a Windows PC...long pause...response (and I quote) "I have no idea". (strike 1 for RogersMary).
* I scour further. NOTHING on rogers.com, but in the forums I find images of this update that you simply load onto an SD Card and do a restore from there. I do this...and after a VERY VERY LONG reboot I get an "extreme phone makeover", and the phone info shows same system build number as in the instructions. Huzzah! No thanks to Rogers though.
* Sunday morning arrives. My battery died in the night (but long after I upgraded) so I plugged in, turned on my phone. NO DATA ACCESS EVEN WITH UPDATE USING OFFICIAL ROGERS BUILD.
* I phone tech support AGAIN. I told them I have no Windows PC but I did find the update file for my SD Card and upgraded that way but still lost network, and did my method of updating mean Rogers didn't register it? He thanked me for upgrading and said be patient--that ALL Rogers customers w/ Rogers Magic would have a disruption for UP TO 24 hours even with the upgrade in place (STRIKE 2 FOR ROGERSMARY!). That is the main reason for the data plan credit.
Anyways, this is what he explained: Rogers has to "scan the network" to query the phone for information in order to verify the mandatory upgrade. If your system build is OK (didn't clarify if it had to be an exact match or a certain number or higher) then your data plan will be re-enabled. This scan is not a routine thing they do--it is a scheduled event that will occur over the 24 hour period that started this morning. So, if you do the upgrade after this morning there is a chance during the scan and find your phone not upgraded to the proper build number and your data plan will NOT be reactivated automatically by tomorrow morning, at which time you have to get ahold of customer service yourself and have them re-activate your data plan manually. (Ignore RogersMary and remember the SMS said upgrade to prevent FURTHER disruption--not to avoid disruption entirely).
This guy said I had to be patient and to contact support again only after Monday at 6AM if you have no data/internet as it could take that long to sort out. The time it takes could vary depending on your region, if you are within signal range, if your phone is powered down and how old your SIM card is.
The last one was interesting: I have a SIM card that is on its third phone and is approaching 5 years old (when I go to the local Rogers store to upgrade they just move my SIM card--I've not been given replacement SIM cards). He has taken support calls related to very old SIM cards and replacing them has fixed issues in the past. Notably, I've had SMS messages sporadically arrive hours late, but no total loss of service--thought it was just net congestion. He said it could be the old SIM card becasue older SIM revisions issued before 3G/HSDPA, though they work on 3G, have sometimes inconsistent performance as they were not tested with the 3G network before being issued. If you have unreliable SMS, the scan they're doing today could be unreliable too (delayed, etc).
So, I come away with the following:
* Rogers didn't promise NO disruption, they said UP TO 24 hours, and MORE if you don't upgrade, so you can't REALLY be sure if you have issues until tomorrow morning at the latest. The disruption might have come and went before you woke up this morning, or it may persist through the day.
* If your phone is off or has no signal through out the day, Rogers may not be able to scan your phone, and the effect might be the same as not upgrading.
* Not sure if it is fact or an educated guess, but I suspect that this scan could be performed through the same mechanism as SMS (text messaging), though I doubt you'd actually SEE a text message yourself (it'd be a specially crafted packet of data). That way a "data" operation can be performed on phones without data/internet enabled. Perhaps if your SMS messages take awhile then this scan would too.
* If you are still using a SIM card that was issued before 3G/HSDPA was offered by Rogers it isn't a revision that has undergone testing on the upgraded network. It doesn't prevent you from getting 3G but it isn't guaranteed and has been the cause of various issues from SMS to unreliable web browsing and they might blame it on your internet not reactivating if it fails...but wait until tomorrow to complain...

IT WORKED!!
I'm back in!!!
I called(landline), did NOT pick a phone, went to general tech(no wait) said vaguely "I was having some intermittent data issues and some forums said to call up and request a network refresh", he (very eagerly) said sure! turned off the phone, he refreshed, and I'm back.
He proceeded while booting to ask about what specific issues but I kept it vague, text issues, on/off data (i did not get asked about the update!)
If my data goes out in an hour like it seemed in the start, then Rogers is sweeping users in which case, turn your phone off until the whole ordeal is done to avoid being marked again, or risk calling for another refresh,(I'm sure they will catch on soon, but those outsourced peeps LOVE the easy calls!)
I prefer the nice method, instead of the death threats to the managers
if they ask about the update say "I did and i had intermittent issues some forums said...
enjoy your data(and the free month!)

We get a free month?!?!?

c900 wifi tether or hotspot?

I've searched. Only found one nobody post saying it wasn't capable hardware wise... Is that really true. And if so, why can't it handle it. Imo, it should be able too.... Really want wp7 hotspot device.....

Don't believe it... Will only be a matter of time until an app is available...

I agree.. it's all a matter of apps now. Apparently, the MANGO release will give developers more access to the 'guts' of the O/S, so we should start seeing apps with more functionality than before.

It tethers fine, you just need to use the built in MFG application to change the USB port mode to QC composite.
Instructions are here:
http://flopek.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/tethering-instructions-for-the-lg-quantum-on-att-usa/

That's insane I had no idea these can tether. I'm liking my Quantum more and more everyday. I'm a big accidental LG fan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I was able to install the modem without issue, and my computer sees it. However the connection is immediately refused. Apparently AT&T is blocking this in the U.S.A. At least in Minnesota.
It's kind of annoying way to do it though. Not too thrilled about entering a code and password everytime I would want to tether.
Really looking for something like Win Mo 6.5 equavalent to WiFi Router.

How about on PetroCanada or Speakout
I have the Quantum and PetroCanada UMB and I tried everything on that above link to get it to work but can't! The USB modem drivers installed correctly but I don't know the correct settings to get the phone to tether properly on the internet and I've tried so many combinations! Can somebody help me out? A WIFI Hotspot update sure would be good right now to avoid the whole problem altogether!!!

add a string in the advanced tab
Did you do the init string in the modem setup?
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","isp.cingular"
maybe a different isp string in Canada

I lost the ability to tether with Mango. My wifes phone is still on Nodo, and that phone can tether fine with the QC composite mode. Can other people on Mango still tether? I upgraded to Mango beta with the legit developer release, and then to Mango after it went RTM(never rolled phone back to nodo first).
Also on a side note, I still cannot connect to hidden wifi SIDs, and I see other people with the Quantum have the same problem. Seems like the OEM needs to enable this with Mango for it to work. Can anyone else use hidded wifi SIDs? My + icon is missing under advanced. Wondering if the route I took to Mango didn't update something.

Still no hidden SSID support with the LG Quantum.
As for Mango tethering, you're missing one more update after Mango RTM. Connect to Zune again, and check for updates. You should get an LG-specific update. That will update the USB tethering functionality in the phone for Mango.

The update is definately not available for all Quantum users.
I have AT&T and live in the United States and am not able to get the LG update.
Why everyone doesn't take the 5 minutes to go into User CP and set their carrier and country is beyond me. IMO, it should be a requirement before posting. More than half the posters in this thread haven't done it.

I have AT&T and live in the US as well. I got the LG update just fine.
You might have to go in the registry and make sure your carrier is set to ATT-US. If it's unbranded, or if that value is not filled in, then it won't work.

Done. It probably should be a requirement. Until it is, people (like me) won't do it unless reminded.

I actually dropped the service on my phone.
It's not that I didn't love Windows Phone 7 with Mango. Work bought me an iPhone 4S with a new number and they pay the monthly bill. So, I ported my personal number to Google Voice, so I can use it on my iPhone along with the number they provided. Free vs monthly bill. Free wins almost everytime.
I wouldn't think that service would be required to get an LG update, but since the carriers push the updates out, maybe it does. I guess I will know for sure when Apollo starts getting pushed out. Or it might be one of those things where it is going to take 30 days to push it out to everyone.
Nice job getting your info updated.

Mango and Hidden WiFi

Is there any clue to unlock the hidden wifi configuration on our LG Optimus ? This was the only feature I was waiting for...

I thought I saw a wifi option in the MFG menu

I'm looking for that answer too...MFG doesn't seem to have an option for hidden networks...has anybody figured out how to do it? It must be already available inside the software, but hidden (I think). Any help? Hidden wifi is one of the most desirable features for me...

+1 No Hidden WiFi support on the LG Optimus 7 - bummer.
I recently had a hardware fault, and LG were excellent.
But I will probably go HTC or Nokia for my next WP7 phone, as LG ommit things as simple as this. Shame.

Bummer. Is this an Optimus 7 only specific issue?

Yes, I don't have the link to the article but LG posted that they are working on releasing a new set of wifi drivers "soon" so .... maybe next year?

...next year I will buy another phone because there will be much better choices in the market...these updates should be done in les than 2 months. I think that MS and LG were quite loose in terms of their support. I want to buy an e900 (they are extremely cheap right now) for my woman and I'm thinking that I won't even be able to update it to Mango... (I had to force the update on mine, after I flashed another firmware)...Is this support? Even if it is already updated, I won't have my country's display language (as advertised). So, Microsoft gets us always into a risky, hacking procedure...Is this support?
I was waiting for Mango to get hidden network support and tethering (as advertised), and LG has just remembered that they have to make a new update for this function to work...after one month since Mango release...Is this support? I'll tell you what it is...Irresponsibility and inability to support their products...anti-professionalism.

Yeah, I don't remember anywhere saying that and of the LG phones would support tethering, and that it was also carrier unlocked feature... so if you were to use tethering, it was probably going to be a hack anyways.
As for the Mango update. I have an unbranded phone on a carrier that doesn't support it. As the updated were pushed by the carriers I had no issue with having to force mine, and really, it wasn't and harder than turning of my wifi when hitting update.
You are, of course, free to chose any phone you'd like. While I know I must wait for the Wifi tethering feature, and am not pleased by it, I will stick with my e900 as it beats any of the phones currently offered by AT&T.
Oh, and keep in mind this is a first gen phone, I do recall some other brands having issues on their first iteration. It's a small price to pay to be an earlier adopter.

Hope!
According to this, radio and/or firmware version 1.0.16.10 will bring tethering and hidden wifi support - yippee
I can't post a link -sigh- but it's on wmpoweruser dot com website

Yeah it's out now and brings support for Hidden Wifi + Internet Sharing.
Kinda funny how just 5 days ago people were complaining about LG and that the update won't be out until next year or might never be coming.
As far as I know LG is the very first to make these two features available to pre-Mango devices.

VodaFone UK
LG Optimus 7
Upgraded to 1.0.16.10 (without having to "force" it)

A Vodafone "Branded" version of an LG E900 of mine got the update, but my OPN version did not yet receive the update. I have also read that the OPN version gets an update, but that it will not enable tethering.

I tried to re-brand the phone but nothing happened.
I followed the guide by changing the "MobileOperator" key in the registry. It was "000-88" and I've changed it to "VOD-IT". Am I doing something wrong? "Carrier" in the about info still shows "OPN" and no updates on Zune.

Verizon phone shows "Sprint" as provider?

Hi, I have Verizon and after updating to Android 10 today (official Verizon OTA update), when I check the SIM status it will sometimes say "Sprint". It'll also sometimes say "Sprint" when I swipe down from top and look in upper right hand corner. Has anyone seen this? Any idea why? SIM card came from Verizon when I switched over from Sprint to VzW a number of months ago.
Thanks.

When you switched to Verizon, were you still just accepting OTAs? It kinda sounds like you still getting Sprint OTAs.
I bought a used Sprint phone, then fastboot flashed the Essential image, which prompts for the Essential OTA.

Same. When I look up Mobile network in settings it shows Verizon, but when I look from pulldown notification, it says Sprint. Tried network reset and no change.

I was just accepting OTAs. But the SIM is a Verizon SIM? Also, it seems like I have data and can make calls... how is that possible? I've gotten OTAs before (Android Pie) and didn't have this issue.

Do you feel that you're actually using the Sprint network? I can't see hotspot toggle anymore in Settings, I can't see a way to navigate there.

I'm the same but I feel I'm on Verizon network and not Sprint. APN says Sprint though. As long as I use Verizon Messages app, MMS/SMS work fine though. 4G and calls work fine.

If you (y'all) go to the APN settings (settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Access Point Names), are they Verizon? Have you looked up the Verizon APNs and compared to what you have?

I'm having the same exact issue. Before update, all APNs were Verizon. Post update, they'll be Verizon at first then randomly change to being all of Sprint's... How weird.
Mobile Network says Verizon, APNs say Sprint, SIM status says Sprint, and Sprint's OMADM updates setting appears under about phone as well. For some reason, the phone states its brand as Sprint too, even though the device is unlocked.

When the phone was switched off of Sprint's network into Verizon's, was the firmware switched from the Sprint dedicated releases to the Essential generic release? Basically you'd have to fastboot flashed a factory image downloaded from Essential's developer page.
I'm not saying this definitely fixes the problem, but the Sprint phones have firmware specific to them.

This one was never on Sprint's network. Maybe mine just got the wrong Android 10 OTA pushed to it then? I'm assuming a factory reset will probably be my only hope then.

No, I doubt that the wrong releases got pushed. It dawns on me that I haven't been seeing separate images on Essential for the Sprint, and everyone else for at least a year. Maybe they merged the releases and something in the build prop is whacked.

Hi, all. I'm so happy I found this thread. I have an Essential that was purchased from Sprint and unlocked immediately in November of 2017. It has worked almost flawlessly since on Verizon (lousy battery life some months and some odd camera stuff going on here and there).
I have always taken the OTA updates and never had an issues. I took the Android 10 update as soon as it showed available in September. A few days later my phone was showing "roaming". I reset it a few times, pulled the SIM, etc. and got it working again but the SIM continued to show Sprint. A few more restarts and it showed Verizon.
This kept happening every few days. A few restarts and it was back on Verizon. I even had the Verizon store put a new SIM in when restarts weren't fixing it.
Now I am stuck in Sprint mode for several weeks and cannot get it back on Verizon.
The issue is you cannot send/receive MMS when in Sprint mode AND I cannot receive voicemails.
I am no longer up for flashing firmware, etc. I got that out of my system years ago and just want phones that work and don't cost a fortune. I'm hoping I can recover this thing without major surgery, because my old Moto G4 is a really bad phone at this stage in its life. I finally switched last week when my wife got mad that I wasn't responding to her MMS messages. First time I plugged the Moto into my car, Android Auto nearly killed it! LOL
Is there a fix for this? I can't live without MMS (or rather, my colleagues and family can't) so I may have to buy a Pixel soon.
Thanks!

Have you looked at the APN that is being used? Settings -> network & internet -> mobile network -> advanced -> all the way down

Thanks for the quick reply.
"Mobile Network" in the primary menu shows Verizon, but the APNs look like Sprint names.
OTA

SPCS Global
cinet.spcs
Sprint

Look up the correct APNs for Verizon and create the correct ones. Once they work, delete the sprint ones.
Edit:
I know you said your over the days of flashing, but I think I would sideload the first A10 OTA from Essential's Developer's site. You can do that in stock recovery, just using ADB.
Hopefully that will get you off the Sprint software. It's what I did back when I got a sprint version (used). I always start with the first release of the current version on the device. Often the first major release has specific stuff that doesn't get passed on in future updates. Or, that may just show how old school I am [emoji4]

I checked in the morning and no dice, then just past midnight it allowed it.
No March patch- already got it on other brand phones.

I got it the other day. It is sooo much better than OOS 12. It's like a whole new phone.

I'm still waiting on my update alert to Android 13. Still sitting on Android 12 at the moment T-Mobile variant

I finally Android 13 today update came over night.

I got it last night. It killed my mobile data. Wi-fi works fine but not mobile. I've checked the APN settings, I've reset the network options, I've even done a full factory reset. Nothing works.
Why? I think it's because I carrier unlocked the sim and have been running on Verizon through StraightTalk. I think the update is preventing me from connecting to Verizon and there is nothing I can do about it. I also can't downgrade to Android 12. I'm trying to figure out what to do next. It looks like I may can use a tool to change over to the EU version which will then let me go back to 12 or possibly unlock the bootloader without waiting weeks on OnePlus to send me a code.

the Google Voice redirection still broken under OOS13 any variant

Anyone working on a custom recovery for 13 on T-Mobile OnePlus 8 yet?

Its may 2nd and the android 13 update isn't on my phone. are you all sure you're using T-Mobile?

I'm on T-Mobile with a Rooted one plus 8 5g on stock Android 13. It was an OTA update a couple weeks ago here in Indianapolis.

Good deal. I didn't even know there was an Android update coming, I had a notification and figured it was a security update. I installed it and was pleasantly surprised.

Were you able to resolve this? My device was fine on OOS13.0 but had the same issue on OOS13.1.
Fed up with OnePlus and T-Mobile and their shenanigans.

The sim card would be what connects you to the mobile network for any given carrier. Try pulling it and reinserting it. Maybe after a reboot. See if you have options under sim card, mine are greyed out but I think some carriers have more than one option under sim.

I did finally get it to work. I had to call straight talk and work with the support staff. They changed my apn and did some other behind the scenes changes that got it to work.
