Unfortunately, I've recently been hit pretty hard by the data drop issue. No clue where it came from, I haven't made any changes at all to my ROM since, but it suddenly started happening fairly often. CFSv6 did however fix my random freezes on GSB.

Links to all conaps files can be found here:

http://android.grdlock.net//index.php?direction=0&order=&directory=HTC Droid Eris/Conaps Roms&

Perhaps I will flash CFSv9 to see if it helps out with the other small GSB issues I am having.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
Thanks for the update..it is quite saddening though, I still have hope but I do miss consistent data
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Guys, after hearing a few of you say that changing the kernel seemed to improve on the data drop issue, I asked Conap for all previous and current versions of the CFS kernel for the Eris and set myself on a testing spree.

Conap was very kind in providing me with all CFS kernel versions, and here is part of what he himself had to say: "...v9 is what is used in the froyo roms and then the gb roms basically use v9 except that i enabled ext4 which should not affect anything with data."

I tested with all ten versions of the CFS kernel and the two latest radios (Verizon's 2.42.01.04.27 and Sprint's 2.42.02.10.29). As was expected, my data drop issue was not solved.

If you do any testings of your own, by all means, please post your findings. It seems though, that some of us get different results in different locations at different times, but the drop data issue remains.

Am I missing something?

Have an eris flashed to metro for talk and text... I reformated my sd and did a fresh install of gsb 2.8 and flashed this but didnt get mms to work. Am i missing something?

Rom = gsb 2.8

radio = 2.42.00.03.10

prl = 02004

plan = $40.00

p.s.

sorry if this wasnt the appropriate place to ask, but ive searched everywhere
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Did you boot the phone once before flashing MetrOFF?

Did you flash the fix that includes the modded Mms.apk?

Was your DATA up when you tried sending/receiving MMS?

Also, I recommend flashing a newer radio (Verizon's 2.42.01.04.27).

This is the right place to ask, let me know if you need further help. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
I just want give an emphatic THANK YOU for helping out so much with this issue, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that I truly appreciate your efforts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] slicewithdaggers:
I did I flashed gsb 2.8, then the gapps, then i let it boot up.... I then rebooted and flashed the metro zip with the message app ( ive never had data working btw) i assumed i could check it with the wifi but it doesn't work that way either.... i will update my radio later today, the radio i have now i updated yesterday since it was the most newest i could find during my search. Might i have to go to metro to get it reflashed?
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
As I suspected, MMS is not sending/receiving because your DATA is not working; MMS will not work with just WIFI.

I am thinking that since your phone was flashed by Metro and they only flash for talk/text, that you have yet to setup some of the settings, such as MSL, needed for DATA to work. Taking the phone back to Metro will not solve anything, DATA settings need to be setup on your part. PM me and I will assist you in getting everything up and running. ;)

Attached is flash-able .zip file with the latest radio for the Eris from Verizon. Just flash it from recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Just a heads up, Conap has modded a GB Mms.apk that is fully functional on Metro. I tested it and, MMS (picture/audio/video) and long SMS split functionality work.

MetrOFF is getting an update tonight! :D

I will be testing if the GB Mms.apk is backwards compatible with Froyo, but most likely I will be releasing two separate versions:

GB version with the new modded GB Mms.apk.

Froyo version with the new modded Froyo Mms.apk.

A big thanks to Conap for the newly modded GB Mms.apk! And to bigshotrob22 for all his help, time and effort! :)

Edit: The new modded GB Mms.apk package gives a parsing error and does not install on Froyo ROMs. I have modded a newer version of the Froyo Mms.apk to be included in the MetrOFF v1.1 for Froyo; both MetrOFF v1.1 for GB and Froyo got an updated Mms.apk.

MetrOFF v1.1 for GB got the Mms.apk updated from v2.2 to v2.3.3.

MetrOFF v1.1 for Froyo got the Mms.apk updated from v2.2 to v2.2.1.

Everyone wins! ;)

[Droid Eris Android Development] metalheavy:
Tried to install the first file in the list on my CM6 and it would not go. Some error about Android 1.5 and how it aborted the install in the recovery menu. Know why this is happening?
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
That error is caused because the recovery console that you are using only supports Edify scripting; try using a recovery console that supports Amend scripting. CWM 3.x.x.x is based on the GB recovery which only supports Edify scripting; Amon RA and CWM 2.5.x.x are based on the Eclair recovery and support both Amend and Edify scripting.

On a different note, you mentioned CM6, so I suppose your phone is running a Froyo ROM. The MetrOFF version you tried to flash is the one for GB CM/AOSP ROMs, and the included modded GB Mms.apk would not of have installed/worked on a Froyo ROM. I strongly advice on flashing the MetrOFF fix that is specific to your Android version if you want MMS to work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] elmosdaddy:
Edification of MetroOFF

I converted it to edify so that it could work with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5

I fully tested on CM7 ascend and confirmed it to work let me what you think
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Great elmosdaddy! In the next version release, MetrOFF is going to be converted to Edify scripting to make it more compatible across all recovery consoles. Thanks for the pre-release though, I am sure it will be of much help to all the CWM 3.x.x.x users out there. ;)

Edit: I tried to flash the converted file that you posted, using Amon RA's recovery which supports both Amen and Edify scripting, and I am getting a few "unknown command" errors.
[Droid Eris Android Development] elmosdaddy:
Being that i don't have Amon RA's recovery i am not sure which commands might be causing the problem. but it could be the assert statement that checks that the phone model is an huawei ascend. but that is only speculation.

is there any luck for the Icarus 1.1 users?
[Droid Eris Android Development] perroschatos02:
hello i was wondering if i can get some help with getting my web and mms to work? i just the eris flashed at a metro store with the talk/text only and would like to get web and mms working. any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tjmckenzie:
I would be glad to help.

Are you still running the original OTA software?

Is your Eris still rooted?
[Droid Eris Android Development] perroschatos02:
well i rooted it with the one click root. and yes it still had the ota software

[Droid Eris Android Development] arashed31:
Is this zip all you need to get MetroPCS working on the Droid Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
No, this zip is all you need to get MMS working.

First, for TALK/TEXT, the phone needs to be flashed to Metro (MEID/ESN added to Metro's inventory, and phone updated with Metro's PRL, your MIN, etc); this is usually done by Metro or by an authorized dealer. Although, you can do all of the above yourself except for the part about adding the MEID/ESN to Metro's inventory.

Second, for DATA/WEB, the right user and password (MSL) need to be set; this, you can do yourself.

Last, for MMS (picture/audio/video messaging), the telephony.db/APNs need to be updated with the right Metro settings; this is what this zip is for... please refer to the OP for a detailed list of everything that MetrOFF does.

PM me if you need help with any of the above.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjoh280844:
Is there any update on when/if the Eclaire Sense version of this will be released?

[Droid Eris Android Development] matthewmilbut:
data fix.. this has held strong and ive been using it flawlessly since 2.7gsb came out.

Just enable background data autosync..ive mentioned this before...

havent dropped data yet.

metropcs..droid eris.. 40dollar plan w everything working
[Droid Eris Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
I've been out of the loop for a while(left my phone in Melbourne), how's the data holding out?
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Matt, I always had background data and auto-sync enabled, and my data issue remained... Read below! :)

Guys, the data issue has been solved on all GB CM7 based ROMs sync'd and compiled after 4/18/2011; that includes GSB v2.9 and any version thereafter. I have known this for a while but wanted to test and confirm before posting the news. I am in PR on vacation right now, I will post all the details as soon as I get back home tomorrow night... Data is finally fixed! ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get my phone back!!!!

Was it just a cyanogen mod thing that was causing the data issue? I'll surely be passing some money your way for all your work on MetrOff once I get my phone back and everything working.

Thanks again!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
Actually the data issue still exists. Its no where near as bad as it was. I can use data all day and then at the end of the day it will stop working and require a reboot to work again. In fact the other day I hadent used data the whole day and then downloaded a couple apps and in the middle of downloading one it stopped working. Like i said its not near as bad since I can watch youtube and stream audiogalaxy all day with no problems. Its pretty random now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] psychobilly:
Firstly thank you for all your work, I wanted to know when a version for 2.2 Froyo Sense Roms would be available? I have an HTC Evo running Myn's Warm Z TwoPointTwo running sense 2.0 (Ported from HTC Desire). I have had no luck using any other existing fix/method for mms.... Thank you once again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Not really, as I also experienced the data issue on non-CM/pure AOSP GB ROMs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Well, I suppose you could say that the loss of data issue still exists; perhaps not all of us perceive it or define it the same way. I also do not know what ROM and device you have but from what I can see now, data connectivity on GB CM7 based ROMs sync'd and compiled after 4/18/2011, is no different than on Froyo or Eclair/Sense ROMs; only rare data drops here and there that immediately resolve on their own, and on very rare occasions requiring a reboot or an on/off toggle of airplane mode... just like in any other ROM I have ever used, including stock ROMs.

I have a Droid Eris running GSB v3.0 on MetroPCS and no loss of data issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
You are much welcome! Always glad to be of help psychobilly.

I was planing on releasing the Eclair/Froyo Sense versions last week but I had to fly out of the country for the weekend and was very busy on the days preceding the trip. I just flew back in a few hours ago... I will try and have them up as soon as I can.

PM me if you want and I will take some time to help you out sooner. :)

[4.18.2011] Loss of Data Connectivity Fix! [CM7]

This is the "loss of data connectivity" fix by Austen Dicken from the CM devs team. This fix was android_frameworks_base merged on 4/18/2011. All GB CM7 based ROMs sync'd and compiled after the fact, should have this fix implemented by default. :D

I'll let you guys read it yourselves:

I upgraded to the newest version of GSB (3.4) CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Gingerbread 2.3.4. I put metro off on this morning and now the mms.apk seems a little messed up. Instead of saying "Sending" it says "Inconsistent State". Long hold on an item will have "Unlock message" when it isn't locked, Lock it and delete an item it says "Cannot Get Details".

I'm not sure if this is just me. Also, it still FCs when you try to send something other than a picture.
[Droid Eris Android Development] yeaaa:
does this work with the htc evo running on Mik's sense 2.1 rom?

MetrOFF v1.2 | MetroPCS One-Flash-Fix [MMS]

Refer to the OP for the updated download links...

[06.23.2011] - v1.2 Update/Fixes:

Added new modded GB Mms.apk (v2.3.4) to GB version.

[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:

v1.2 ODEX version not loading.

Tried with 'workshed' cm7 GSB ODEX version.

MMS App do not load from 'shortcut'. It doesn't appear in the program list.

The 2 MMS files (apk & odex) replaced originals in the system/app folder. Confirmed by different file sizes.

The NON-odex version works (send & receive) with above ODEX ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Yes, MetrOFF v1.2 GB (NON-ODEX) was meant to also work on ODEXed ROMs; I updated the update-script to delete the Mms.odex file which when left untouched, was the cause of all the bugs that appeared after flashing the previous MetrOFF v1.1. The new MetrOFF v1.2 GB ODEX was just another option for users that wanted to have an ODEXed Mms.apk on their ODEXed ROMs. ;)

On my phone, I currently have MetrOFF v1.2 GB ODEX on GSB v3.5 ODEX and it works, no problems! I will now test it on the new GSB v3.6 ODEX and post my results.

Edit: I tested MetrOFF v1.2 GB ODEX on GSB v3.6 ODEX, and it is indeed not working properly; it seems to work fine on some ODEXed ROMs and not on others. Thank you Zuckstone for pointing this out to me! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjoh280844:

[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Guys, I have decided to remove the MetrOFF v1.2 GB ODEX from the OP download links, as it seems to only work on some ROMs and not on others; this version was not really necessary, it was just another option for users that wanted to have an ODEXed Mms.apk on their ODEXed ROMs.

Keep in mind though, that the new MetrOFF v1.2 works on both ODEXed and De-ODEXed ROMs; all the previously bugs caused when the old MetrOFF v1.1 was flashed on an ODEXed ROM are now fixed.

This Thread is Awesome i see you've solved a big problem but i have a Question. My evo has the stock sprint rom and i kinda like it once i set up web everything works i mean almost everything except mms i'm on Android 2.33 not rooted

1.Do i need to be rooted for this to work.

then i tried flashing the phone in recovery mode it gave a invalid Error then rebooted.

i have a evo 4g on metro pcs running 2.33 i guess i just need to know if the phone should be rooted before i can do this
