[Q] Data will not work despite efforts! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Phone: Tmobile Hd2
Base Rom: Energy dec 30 I think
radio: 2.12
magldr: latest
clockwork mod: latest
NAND rom: MDJ cyanogen mod 7 ver. 2.5 gingerbread
Hi, I've tried basically everything. Tried everything I could find for variations for apn settings,
turning on and off data, turning on and off airplane mode, turning on 2g only, hard reset, reflashing the zip rom (works fine when I go back to last rom) and my data worked for a minute when I reflashed the zip rom. It no longer works. I scoured xda and could find nothing!
Anybody have this problem/know a fix for it? Greatly appreciate the help, I like the rom a lot, so I don't want to have to go back to the old one!
*****
Every now and then it seems it will let me load google, and then it won't let me load any other pages. It displays that 3g is up,
but as I said, its not working.
****
Could it be my radio?

How can you have energy as base rom and you are using magldr?

No idea; when I boot it shows the Energy logo, so I'm assuming its my base rom.

The very first splash screen you see is not touched by Magldr installation, so it remains as it was. As for your WM ROM, it's gone. Completely.
Anyway, check your APN settings against the settings found on this page...
http://www.unlocks.co.uk/gprs_settings.php
Maybe there is a discrepancy?
As for letting you load Google every now and then, I think that's probably a cached version of the page. Whenever I've had data problems, I've always ignored my home page and tried a different page to see if I do actually have a data connection. I usually just click one of the links at the top of Google (Images/News etc..)

Tried the APN, can't get it to work, period. Tried the apn, tried turning on and off data, on and off for airplane mode, resetting, and im not sure what else. Do I need to clear my cache and data and reflash? can anything else possibly be the problem? could it be that I forgot to flash DAF before clockwork mod?

I doubt that CWM has anything to do with this. It really does sound like the APN settings in the ROM you installed are just wrong. Did you actually check against the ones on the page I linked you?
Other than that, I can only suggest trying a different ROM. Clearing data out before flashing is irrelevant, as flashing will itself clear everything like that.

I manually re-entered all the apn data MULTIPLE times. And tried several variations; and for that link you sent me, Operator: - T-Mobile (Internet)
GPRS APN: - internet2.voicestream.com
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 216.155.175.105, 216.155.175.106
thats what it tells me for tmobile data, and I cannot find anywhere in apn settings that say's dns, which makes it all the more confusing.
I tried the settings that another person posted that worked fine on the last rom I was on; wifi ironically works (it didn't on my last rom) and now my data doesnt work.

If you've tried the exact same settings on 2 different ROMs and it works on one but not the other, then I'm afraid the only answer is that there's a problem with the ROM. You could search the thread where you got the ROM from, and ask in there if it's not already answered. The only other alternative is to give up with that ROM and try a different one.
Sorry mate, but that's all I can suggest.

Had same issue
Hi, I had the same issue when I updated, using CWM, from MDJ's v. 2.3 to v. 2.5
I spent almost a day to understand that probably during the flash something went wrong and at the end I decided to flash the non-CWM rom, and magically all my connections started to work again.
( I did some debugging of the problem because I couldn't even get root (before the update everything was fine) and I had to manually fix permission and at the end I discovered that busybox was broken ( continuous seg faults) )

Just so it's clear, this issue can't be related to CWM. CWM is something that you can boot into, instead of Android, but it does absolutely nothing - doesn't even run - when you boot into Android. The only thing I can think that may be relevant is that I know a ROM has to be made "ready" for CWM. Maybe something in that process is causing a problem. You guys really should make the ROM devs aware of this, if you haven't already, in order to stop the problem.

Data works for a lot of people from what I got from the thread for the rom I'm using. Which is all the more maddening, not knowing if I did something wrong or what. Could it be possible that my data is not working because my flash memory is not partitioned?

I'd expect the majority of people using the same ROM to have no problems with data, or the ROM simply wouldn't be available as it would be useless. I really don't think that partitioning would have anything to do with this problem.
What ROM is it? Could you post a link to the thread?

Okay, I can see quite a lot of people on there saying that they're having the exact same problem as you, but no-one can offer any help, so I can't see a solution.
The only thing I can suggest is that you use a different ROM. For some reason, that one just isn't going to work for you.

Problem with CyanogenMod

I really need some assistance with some of the settings for CyanogenMod. I just got done flashing the ROM and everything went smoothly, but there seems to be a problem with my data/coverage. The phone is in roaming mode and I can't get the data to work. I have everything configured correctly I think, but I can't get the data connection to work. There is no indication that it is on even though I have it checked. So I can't get on the internet unless it's through WiFi and I can't send/receive picture messages since I have no data.
Would really appreciate some assistance since I really like this ROM but I'm paying for data and it seems I can't use it /:
Thanks for any advice

Sounds like you may not have done a full Wipe/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and wipe dalvik cache before you flashed. You perform these steps from ClockworkMod recovery before you flash the ROM.
Another thing that could have happened is that you had the USB cable plugged in when you entered ClockworkMod to flash the new ROM. Once you copy the new ROM to your SD card you should unplug the USB cable and then reboot into ClockworkMod.

The bold is something that is so common and so miniscule that many users often overlook it but it can cause weird things to happen when flashing ROMs and other things...

Anytime bud, just trying to help you The moral of the story was, I read your post and that was the first thing that came to mind and you got all salty, no problem though i understand you're frustrated. I would be to. As blake posted, did you happen to have your USB cable plugged in while you were booting into clockwork to flash your ROM and did you also clear cache, dalvik and data? I'll assume you cleared everything since you probably followed a tutorial verbatim on this site or some other site but the USB thing, while so small, can actually cause so many issues...no hard feelings bro
Also, please see above post for the preferred network type information...

I actually just downloaded the zip on my phone and moved it to the SD card with Astro, is this a problem? So I wasn't ever connected to a computer.
And I'm positive I did the full wipe.
The preferred network type says, WCDMA preferred

Yessir, that's what I've got as well...I'm assuming that you actually had service when you were on a non-cyanogenmod ROM?
1. Where did you download the ROM from? Was it from one of the links in attn1's thread?
- i.e. one of the two links supplied here?
2. If so...If I were you I would, redownload the ROM, move it out of your downloads folder (i.e. from /sdcard/downloads to /sdcard/) and wipe data, cache, dalvik and reflash...
3. Again, if I were you, and #2 didn't fix anything I would go back to a sense ROM and see if the problem is still existant. If it's not then idfk what to tell you LOL...but if it is then its probably hardware related...I would also flash BACK to the CM ROM after going back to the sense...
I know seems like a lot of stuff but if you're dedicated to having CM then you might just have to bear with the bs ;(

I got it working after re-flashing it!!
I don't know what happened though. I just went through all the settings turned them off then turned them on and turned the phone off then powered on and I wasnt in roaming anymore!

[Q] Need some help!

so Im on a mytouch 4g running virtuous affinity, latest version, and Im having some problems that others dont seem to be having. my phone is having some issues sending and receiving texts and I cant figure out why.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
yes I did a full wipe before installing and have tryed it again but still does it
do you have wifi on or no? if yes, is your mobile data enabled also? might want to check your APN settings to see if theyre correct too

Is it possible that you aren't truly doing a full wipe? Leftovers from a previous rom can stay behind in various partitions and cause problems.
I have found that installing a new rom from ROM Manager is not the best method - I prefer installing from recovery. I am far from an expert, but I'll explain what I know about using recovery to do a full wipe. Please forgive me if you already know how.
Full wipe from recovery:
Booting into recovery
You can boot into recovery through the ROM Manager app, or from the power menu of some roms, or you can get to it from hboot. To get into hboot: with the power off hold both the volume-down and the power button until the display lights up. Then use the volume key to move the selection to "recovery" and use the power button to select it.
Now that you're in recovery
If you use CWM (ClockworkMod) recovery, you'll need to choose 'wipe data/factory reset' (which formats the data and cache partitions), then from the 'mounts and storage' menu choose 'format system', then from the ‘advanced’ menu, select 'wipe dalvik'.
If you use 4EXT Recovery Touch, from the 'wipe | format' menu choose 'format all partitions' and 'wipe dalvik cache'.
The above steps perform a full wipe, without affecting your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you've never installed a rom from recovery, the following might help:
Installing (flashing) a rom from recovery:
From CWM recovery:
Choose 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot system now'.
From 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Choose 'install from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot now'.

Also, I wouldn't recommend restoring system settings (using Titanium Backup or other methods) when you are switching roms. System settings from a different rom can also cause all sorts of issues.
If doing a full wipe does not fix your problem, you may try flashing a different kernel. My personal favorite for Sense roms like Affinity is TDJ's demonspeed kernel, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214489.
Hope this helps!
yeah this is how I usually do my roms, i dont install them from rom manager. and so im not really sure whats going on

ok so I just flashed that kernel, now lets see if it fixes the problem! haha
Edit: flashing the kernel helped for a little but then went back to having the same problems
Out of curiousity have you tried a 3rd party app, such as Handcent or GO SMS, to see if one of those works? I did manage to corrupt the stock messaging app once so that it couldn't send messages, but using a 3rd party app still worked fine.
This might help you to determine where the problem lies.
cant figure it out...
Ok so update on this, I switched radios i switched roms and even the kernel but nothing seems to be helping. its still having signal issues

I'm not very experienced with misbehaving phones like yours, but if you've flashed different roms, radios, and kernels...
Assuming that you did all of these things properly, then I tend to think it is either a network issue where you live, or a problem with your phone's hardware.
Good luck!

haha thanx, I just think its weird that it started happening out of nowhere. it works fine when I restart the phone then starts doing it again in a short period of time
mine would do that from time to time, and it all but quit after i changed the radio image, but then again, i can't leave a rom on my phone longer than 2 days...lol as far as messaging and being able to send/receive, i had more problems out of mine completely stock than i ever did after a radio/rom flash
how did you fix the issues?
I think he said that flashing a different radio fixed it for him.
hmm tryed that already

Unable to send sms

I flash different roms all of the time, but i've never had this problem. After flashing back to CM7 on my Shift, I can receive texts but not send them.
I flashed a Sense rom and updated the PRL and Profile; nothing. Then I dialed *#*#4636#*#* for the SMSC update, tried both the 11-digit SMSC number and the 16-digit Hexadecimal PDU number, but every time I got the "update failed" message.
However, something must have worked, because despite nothing appearing to work, I can send and receive texts on the Sense rom. However, when I restore my CM7 backup, the problem resurfaces... even after attempting the SMSC updates in CM7.
Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong? I'd like to get my ability to send SMSs back on my AOSP rom.
I would try a Fresh Flash of the CM7 Rom you want to use. Instead of the CM7 Backup you already have. It may be corrupt, or just a bad Nand Backup.

Ah, well I was hoping there was a way to keep my settings and apps but so be it. I'll re-download the rom over WiFi tonight and post my results.
Well, after taking prboy's advice I re-download my CM7 rom (Sparksco's v1.1 stable version of CyanogenMod 7.2.0).
At first I did a full wipe before flashing, but ran into the same SMS issue as before. I ended up restoring my Sense rom with working SMS, then flashing CM7 over it without wiping, and now I am able to send and recieve texts like normal.
Only problem now is i'm missing a lot of functionality. For example, the home button doesn't work, I can't take a screenshot, the phone app for making calls is missing and I can't access the "CyanogenMod settings" from the settings menu.
Any ideas? Is it possible to backup/restore just the part of a rom that is responsible for SMS capabilities? In the meantime, i'll play with rebuilding caches and permissions.

Your pretty much worse off then when you started. Flashing a Rom on top of another Rom without wiping is not a good idea. Flashing a Non-Sense Rom over a Sense Rom without wiping is a really bad idea. You I'm sure have a lot of corrupt data. You can try this, Nand back to the Sense Rom. Update PRL / Profile. Then do a Full wipe and flash the CM7 Rom. You should have better results.

Your pretty much worse off then when you started. Flashing a Rom on top of another Rom without wiping is not a good idea. Flashing a Non-Sense Rom over a Sense Rom without wiping is a really bad idea.

Of course, I mainly tried it as a test.
Playing with caches and permissions didn't help. I'll try what you suggested and a few other things.
Well keep us posted.
Well I fixed my issue, but not in the way I wanted.
I remembered I had a backup of an old CM7 nightly in my dropbox. I restored that, verified SMS worked, then wiped everything except /system and did a clean install of CM7.2.0. Everything is right again.
Out of curiosity, does anybody know where things like the profile, prl and SMSC number are stored on a phone? Is it even user-accessible from recovery or the OS?

Well glad you got it sorted. I believe you can use CDMA Workshop for that.

Glad to hear it's working ok now. You can view your prl info on aosp under about phone. Currently there is no recoveries that have the prl or SMSC locations encoded into them. But if you happen to find out what the locations are, let me know and I might be able to pull some prl image files and post them into a flashable to flash in recovery.
Me too...
Me too, I would like to know what is the solution. I am experiencing long sms message and mms sending issue on CM 7.2.0-RC2 for HTC EVO 4G. I know this is for EVO shift but this can be solution to the phone has the similar issue. If you know any thread related to this, please guide me to it's right thread, I'll be greatly appreciated.

I have never installed NativeSD but..
Is the ROM you installed Tytungs ICS? If it is, the kernel is already included - you need not I stall it after the fact. Maybe that created a problem.
Fir the wifi look for wifi fix on Google Play. It may help.

If you have a 50% chance of being right, you will be wrong 90% of the time...

Does the device connect to wifi when not in ICS?
Have you checked the obvious things?
In settings / wifi / advanced make sure you allow for weak signal and the wifi region code.
ICS will have a different mac address; make sure the router is allowing it.
Clear cache, fix permissions, the usual steps.

As I said, I really don't know that much about NativeSD so I am only guessing..
Is it possible to get a logcat from the time when you try to turn on the wi-fi?
There are several apps on Google Play which will save the log as a text file and you can upload it to the ICS dev thread for Tytung or someone else to look at.
You can also try to flash an old wi-fi firmware but I have no idea what that may do. It is possible that it will not work and you will have to do a clean install after it. If you want to give it a try download BCM4329_firmware_v4.218.248.18_.zip - 1.66 MB and flash through recovery.
Last, I would try to remove the entire Nativesd ROM and start over clean. I don't think the ROM has a wifi issue in all Nativesd installations so my last resort would be to completely clean up and reinstall.
Try some other rom to see if your wifi works, try some stable roms, like cm9 or viper,
Or just reinstall rom using another kernel.

[Q] Franco kernel + CM 10.1 = no service?

Hai,
I just recently rooted my Nexus 4,
First I:
1. I flashed the latest nightly franco kernel on there
2. Installed the latest CyanogenMod ROM
My signal was working fine, then;
3. I installed some apps from the play store
4. Rebooted my device, and then the signal was gone
Waited all night and it didn't come back to me :crying:
SO, I removed the ROM and restored via the clockworkmod method,
and NOW i am only running the franco kernel, and when i try to activate the CM ROM (via ROM manager) i get the same signal problem.
Any way to fix this?
I want to have CM 10.1 Mod and Franco kernel running togther
P.S. I'm a n00b so go easy on me :silly:
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:

Sounds like CM has a default APN, and it doesn't work for you plan/carrier. You need to get the correct APN (Access Point Name) and put it in your phone. To get to your APN's go Settings->Wireless and Networks->More...->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
I don't know which APN you'll need, try searching the forums for something like "[Your Carrier] APNs". They differ depending on plans as well as carriers, so make sure you grab the APN for your plan.
*EDIT* I misread your post. I didn't see that all you did was install some apps and reboot between the time it worked and didn't work. My advice might not help. I would still look into it if you haven't though. It sounds like that is what's wrong.

Alright thanks, I'm gunna try that.
Also, if this helps; during the time that my service was down, in settings there was no option to turn my data on/off, it's like i had no data...
*EDIT* also one more question, do i have to wipe data and cache when installing CM via ROM Manager?
Tell me you did a full wipe on the recovery before flashing anything.
And You flash the ROM first before the Kernel.
Yeah I wiped everything, the ROM is working fine now, should I flash the kernel now? I don't want to run into any problems again

Yep. Although I suggest to wipe dalvik and cache to avoid some problems.

Reboot into Recovery. Main page go to Wipe Cache Partition. For dalvik, From the main menu go to Advanced->wipe dalvik cache
I have CWM, not sure if other recoveries are laid out like that so if you have a different one, might not be those exact steps.
