I'm stumped. And agitated.
I'm stumpitated.
Every Cyanogen-based ROM i flash, I cannot get Wifi or mobile web to connect.
This is true of all current Froyo builds (all Cyanogen) and roms like Droid Does.
Weird thing is, I can get connected to wifi and ping local computer IPs. But I cant ping any websites or load them in the browser or apps.
I am flashed to MetroPCS. Haven't had any problem in ROMS like PlainJain, xtrROM, Evil Eris, etc.
Anyone have any troubleshooting steps or insight? Thanks in advance - I love this community!

Are you using a custom kernel or something?

Not that I'm aware of - how would I find out? Do the ROMS themselves not define the kernel?
Beyond that, why would it work in all other non-cyanogen based ROMs?

I said Wifi doesnt work for me, not for you. Thats the issue altogether - it seems isolated for some reason.
I tried KaosFroyo, CELB and the CM direct, as well as DroidDoes (TCP's new cyanogen based). Can't get Wifi or Mobile to work on any other them. ROM doesnt matter, it seems to be anything cyanogen based for me.
Grdlock, Ivan, xtrRom, xtrSense, EvilEris, etc have all worked for me completely though - non cyanogen based.

No prob dude, I know what you meant. Didnt mean to sound ungrateful
Its just such a weird thing, and I feel limited by it, and the fact that it seems to be so isolated is irritating.
Works for me on CM5 and CM6 ROMs.

Guys,
I know it works on other peoples phones. Not being rude, but I dont need a list of people who its working for. I'm asking for some help, some direction, some possible things to check.
Not to be off topic.. but can someone direct me to the CM direct ROM? I haven't seen that anywhere. Sorry if thats a stupid question lol
Its just the one with CM in the post title.

Try my flash for metro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289
As always make a nandroid backup first.
Make sure you have booted your rom at least once successfully before applying my flash (it modifies the telephony.db that will not be present until after the first boot)
The problem you are running into is that in the build.prop the carrier info is still pointing to verizon, once i changed mine to cricket it worked, i assume changing it to metro would work for you as well.
I believe metro's proper MNC should be 310024 if you want to edit it manually, if i recall off the top of my head, anyways my flash should set that for you and get you squared away.
EDIT**
Actually sorry i mis read this, my flash will not assist with WIFI but it should get your mobile network to route through metro's proxy and get MMS working.
This sounds like a ROM issue if wifi is not working, or something hardware related.

Already running your flash, boss
Doesnt make a difference on these roms for me.
Works nice on xtrROM, though
Hmm, so to clairify if you use CELB 2.8, boot it, then flash my flash, then boot CELB then reboot CELB that you still do not get mobile web/mms?
Weird, almost sounds like your not getting DNS or something.
if you do an NSlookup on like www.google.com, then on the phone try to ping the number you got from nslookup, do the numbers match or what comes back?
I think that this flash won't work for some Froyo ROMs for whatever reason.
Either Autostart doesn't start up (did it ever ask you for SuperUser permissions, ever?)
Or
u2nl needs to be in a different place (worth investigation)
Or
Your proxy is set correctly, so wifi is trying to go through the proxy (which may not work), but something else isn't working correctly, so wifi is looking through the proxy, but something ELSE is wrong with mobile network.
Do a nand backup
then restore yourself to a 2.1 ROM and make sure it still works.
Is the first condition I listed at the top of this post, the case? Or did it ask you? 2.2 might have a superuser issue with Autostart. That'd make sense, since the Proxy might be working (which would be why your internet won't work when wifi is on), but your Mobile Network won't (which, of course it wouldn't, of Autostart wasn't starting up).

Sorry, but I don't know what there is to "check". There are NO options or configurations necessary with the WiFi setup.

K, CELB 2.8 was the first Cyanogen rom to work, thats cool - but it didn't work with your flash. I had to do the manual input from the guide. I already had autostart.sh and u2nl in my root - does your flash overwrite them? still, even if it didnt, it should have set the right permissions, right? I wasnt until I input all the shell commands that I got mobile and app web.

This wouldnt explain while neither Wifi NOR mobile web doesnt work on either. I can't get either to work all all, and they both work on regular 2.1 OTA Roms (and now CELB 2.8)

I use xtrROM 3.0 day to day, and its always worked. So yes, it still does.

Autostart asks for permissions, so I assume its starting i'll try again just to confirm. You mentioned the Proxy might be working which would cut the wifi - how do I get around that?
Is that anyway to set this in incoming mail for Android like what I do in Winmo ? Or any application can do it ?
Yep.....
Mail>Windows Button>More>Settings>Send & Recieve>Mail Size Limit....
Thanks for reply but I cant see MORE option as I am using Froyo 2.2 by Darkstone.

In the Sense version it's working fine, because that is a different e-Mail application (by HTC). But the original Android E-Mail application does not seem to have that option...
Using K9 as my default email, it is better and more responsive than the stock one but still cannot set the email size limit ...
Whenever I receive a picture message from someone it comes out with extremely horrible quality. Its not there phones, there phones have 5mp cameras and I'm getting pictures that are pixalated really bad. I know I'm not gonna get 5mp quality messages but this horrible. Sending pictures quality is fine just receiving. Details in my sig. Anyone know an answer?

The link you posted really only addresses MMS send and receive issues relating to incorrect APN settings.
A fix for the compressed MMS issue is listed on Page 3 (Comment 25), but the instructions are only achievable if you have a Linux box. Plus you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install.
BetaBoy,
The poor quality MMS issue is discussed more in-depth on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
The problem is only affecting Desire builds and is not an issue on the standalone Froyo builds.
Now there are two ways to fix the compressed MMS issue.
Option 1:
1. Download ES File Explorer from the market, install
2. Go to ./system/etc/ directory and look for a file called "mm_property.conf", open the file to edit.
3. Change the wapprofile=" to "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml"
4. Save the changes
If that is too complicated, then the following option is for you! I went with option 2 because I am not proficient with file explorers and I couldn't figure out how to correctly access the system directory...
(Please note, with this method you have to delete your old data.img and do a fresh install)
Option 2:
Go to this thread and download the corrected data.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774672
(Also note, Chiasoft has only corrected FroyoStone Sense V2 and Mattc Froyo Sense 1.7)
If you send him a PM, maybe he can put together a data.img for your setup.
And Betaboy, what the hell are you running 2.1 for anyway?
No need for any of that
The problem was fixed i just went into Messages>settings>Custom User Agent>Nokia N95
Problems Slved!

You aren't running the sense Build; Vanilla Android has different fixes. If it's a CM port, then you can modify the UA within the MMS app.
On another thought: Sense is "prettier" looking on that nice 4.3" display on the HD2 than stock Android, no matter how you theme it, imo.
hi Guys, can't seem to find an answer to this and hoping someone would know...can you use exchange email with stock Froyo 2.2 or only with the Sense builds? Thanks for any advice.
OK, how should I say it....
The Sense exchange support is not as good as the native froyo support.
Why ?
Sense can only support one exchange server.
The vanilla Froyo part can support multiple exchange servers, in my case the companies exchange and my private zarafa.
So far, yes, stock froyo support exchange.

I have had it working on ALL builds I have tried (ShubCraft, Bangsters, HyperDroid, FryoStone to name a few) no problems from day one. I recommend getting touchdown from the market if you want to use it seriously, the options are way more advanced and user friendly, the widgets are also excellent. worth the £20.
I haven't had any trouble using Bangsters v1.2. Make are you clear out each entry before you fill in your account information. I found that when I simply completed an entry by adding to what was already three it wouldn't connect. If I cleared each entry and then typed my info into the blank, no troubles. Best of luck.

Ok thanks to all, sounds like I am good to go...but numbskull, seeing as you have tried all the builds, which one did you stick with? I am still on froystone V1 (v2 seems to have issues from what I can read) but am using LauncherPro so don't figure I need a Sense build (although, is the dialer different without Sense?). Heh, hijacking my own thread!

I have finished on ShubCraft STOCK CM6, using ADW. no issues for over a weeks use now, enjoying it. But I am using the r10 kernel from michaprima, a good combo, not th one that comes with shubcraft.
Exchange works also without Sense!
Hi. Exchange works also without Sense! I tested it already on many BUILDS with and without Sense.
Hi, I just got my email to join the beta. I am using a build on my htc leo right now and when I goto download the installer apk, I click the link and it just goes right to download unsuccessful. Anyone else having this problem or had it?
I am not sure if this is cause of how I run android or if it's just cause I am using the phone data and not wifi (which they make a big deal about you using cause it's 10 megs)
Anyway if you got some information for me please let me know? Also for the admins, I know we can't post swype as it counts as pirated.
Ok I got the same email.. I thought my problem was the build.prob listing phone as hd2 so I changed it to ace.. Tried again fail.. Turned mobile browsing back on and it work!! Not sure which did it but it installed and licensed.. Hope that helps..

How did you get it to change, just a simple eidt of the prob file? I assume you made the change and rebooted to get it working so it would then lable itself as a ace. Hmm, I shall try this. Thanks and any more info you can give me would be great, oddly enough I got into the beta with each of my emails I have used lo.
I assume you edited this line "ro.product.model=Nexus One" Mine currently says nexus one.
I currently use this build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823471)
Yes that's the line I edited. In my desire hd build it said hd2.. I changed it to ace.. I believe you should be fine then. Make sure the browser is set to mobile browsing.. I thought it was a problem but I don't know for sure. Guess I can boot my desire build, and try there as I haven't changed the build prop on it..

Aye, when I reloaded another build it just downloaded without any issues and installed fine. So now that I got the right apk file I am good now. I will just move it to my thumb drive should I load another build to test again.
