[Q] Eclair 2.1 No Network

Hey.
I updated my LG Gt540 to Eclair 2.1 and I am really happy that I´ve done that.
As I wanted to use the internet (no WiFi, i think its called GPRS) it doesn´t work.
My question is, why is it so? Can I bring it back to work?
TehBone

Check apn settings
Sent from my GT540

go to network settings and select your 3g network provider manually.
if that doesn't solve it, you'll need to flash another rom. I don't have internet on the baltic rom, but no problems with the open europe one. have no idea why that is...

THX.
Can I check my APN with APNonoff or another app?
Ehm. I don´t know if network is the right word for my problem. So in german its something with the internet. So the Internet (no WiFi, WiFi works well ) does´t work.
TehBone

O.K. I have a Problem!
As I wanted to update to an open European rom, the OS seems to be a bit broken.
Evertime I did anything a small little Windows Pops up, that the OS ist broken.
What do I have to do?
As I boot the Phone again it stops with the "LG"-Logo. How can I do an downgrade or Update or anything else, so that the Phone works again?
PLS Help!!!

No data connection after rooting to custom rom (Darky's v5.6)

I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?

Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.

hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.

Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6

Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?

Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex

I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..

I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.

hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.

hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?

just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.

[Q] Get 3g working with A500

Hi there, I am trying to get my A500 working with a HUAWEI E173 usb 3g modem. I spent the whole day researching what is have to do. However i was not able to get it working and i don't know why.
Here is the steps i did:
1. First i tried this guide, but the update.zip sent me in a boot loop, so i looked for a ROM with integrated 3g support
2. I found and flashed Thor's rom (which is i think far the best)
3. In setting there is APN setup menu, however i did not find any save option, so i downloaded APN manager from market and was able to configure it through that
4. I resetted my usb modem following the bottom instructions on this guide again.
5. I downloaded a ril-daemon restarter,
6. I connected my modem to my device, used daemon restarter, activated apn
7. Nothing happens, no connection, nothing
What am I doing wrong, what have i missed?
Please help guys!

Well, i have probed several roms, and i think Taboonay 2.2 (look in developer thread) is best working with Huawei 3G usb stick.
Sorry my english.
Good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply. I think the problem is not with my ROM, i triple checked everything. I have ro.carrier set to 3g, so not wifi only. It should work, but still nothing

I'm also having problems getting my huawei E173 to work with my A500 running Taboonay 2.2.
I have enabled 3G in TabooTools and disabled zero cd on the E173 via putty but when I rebooted the A500 I get the message 'Please insert a SIM card' on the lock screen and the Mobile settings menu is missing. It seems like the usb dongle has not been recognised by the tablet but when I ran the USB Device Info app it does show up with all the device info with the path /dev/bus/usb/001/003. I have no idea why it is not working except may be the modem is not compatible but the huawei E173 is listed as working for others. Could the problem be the firmware? I think the firmware is up to date because the modem was manufactured only a few months ago.
Also, in the /dev directory, I don't have ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2.

Does anyone know what the following dmesg means?
usb_wwan: version magic '2.6.36.3-Trinity+ SMP....' should be '2.6.36.3HoneyVillian-3.7+ SMP....'
option: version magic '2.6.36.3-Trinity+ SMP....' should be '2.6.36.3HoneyVillian-3.7+ SMP....'

please help....... wifi is not working ???

Hi
i'm a biggener, i installed taboonay2.1 with every thing ok. afetr ihad worked 3g huawei on my iconia a500 i lost wifi connection. wifi is fine with my laptop, but it doesnot work with iconia. even i updated to 2.2 .
wifi is working but can not find my home wifi network !!!
please help.

Wrong section. this is not dev related and should be in the general or Q&A section.
perhaps there is a conflict with the 3g modem and wifi. did wifi work properly before you set up your dongle? Did you try reflashing and updating to 2.2 before you set up the dongle?

2- wifi ok
3- 3g dongle ok
4- wifi not working
5-update 2.2

7- searching the internet for solution
i'm thinking of doing the following

2- update to 2.2
3- 3g dongle
4- try wifi ????

i did the following:
1- reinstall taboonay 2.1
2- update to 2.2
3- wifi is ok
4- putting 3g modem
5- 3g ok, then wifi shut down
so i got back to the same problem ?????!!!!!

Wi-Fi is using similar memory controller as SD card. I had an issue where my SD got corrupted and Wi-Fi did not turn on because of it aswell. So try removing/replugging the SD card (and restart afterwards).

Ty for your answer blefish, i try what u do and try with another SD card, and i put my SD to another device. and i can´t turn on wifi, but my friend phone´s works well.

UPDATE: i made a downgrade to 2.2.2 froyo and WiFi Works Well.. any hint to upgrade my phone? whitout lose WiFi?¡

]when you're on ICS do you have an IMEI number? If not your phone is screwed on any ROM higher than GingerBread. Mine is the same. It just cycles through the connecting cycle on and off. I've even tried forcing an IMEI number through a program but it didn't change anything.
EDIT: nevermind finally after hours and hours of trying to revive this phone I got my IMEI back and wifi working. Damn it took ages to figure out.
Flashed to Official Gingerbread, then done the steps of retoring my IMEI number which is listed behind my battery. I used DFS tools for this and a post that tells you how to access the project setting menu to enable the settings. Then I wrote my IMEI number back on my phone, then rooted it and installed a custom recovery. Then from there installed Aurora ICS and used another post here to write my Mac address found behind my battery using Terminal Emulator. And bam! my wifi isnt stuck in a loop trying to connect anymore.

I got an IMEI number but the wifi dosent work, do I need to simply use TWRP to get official? then go back?
