[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonh68:
Hey man,

Im in the Cincinnati Market as well and have been with ATT for about, well since they were Ameritech. (long time) i have the Atrix and Lapdock and have been researching switching to CBW for the savings of about 100 per month for my 5 phone plan. I think that the 3g should work but havent verifited that yet. i have unlocked my phone and am taking it to the florence mall CBW to try a demo phone sim to see if i can get 3g. i currently average 1.5 mg download and .5 up load, i have noticed a difference in the towers, in some areas i can get up to 4.5 mb download and 1.5 upload on ATT 3g towers, My ATT guy says that the 4g towers will be turned on in September. should be way faster then. so i will let you know what i find out when i try the CBW sim. but im still unsure about the switch because CBW girl says their 4g is a ways off.

Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babs45242:
Thanks. Look forward to hearing back. At the moment i cant get it to work and cbw says it won't work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennydied23:
Any updates on whether the Atrix would work on CBW? I've been debating if I should switch over to Cincinnati Bell when my Verizon contract is up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babs45242:
Right now all I can say is that voice and edge work but not 3G data. Personally I am getting fed up with some of CBWs practices and policies. The best i have to say is they have an unlimited data option.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
The 2100 3g band is for Europe only. The atrix will not work anywhere in north America on the 2100 band and it does not have the 1700 band. Unless your carrier lets you roam on att you will not be able to use 3g
[Xperia Arc General] macklobell:
I bought the japanese arc and installed lt15a rom. Timescape doesn't seem to log all events call and messages. If I add the timescape widget for messages it just shows the text messages and not the missed calls. If I try to add the missed call timescape widget it says the screen is full. Why doesn't the timescape main screen show all events calls, messages, and emails.

:mad:
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
When u click on timescape widget then click timescape that shows everything and I reckon there is automatic way for it to refresh for you just dont have timescape on as I removed it
[Xperia Arc General] macklobell:
The timescape doesn't log all events like messages, calls, and emails. There is 3 separate widgets for each one.

there seems to be at least 3 users who can't connect to a network after manually upgrading judging from this thread:

it may be best to wait for an ota upgrade. (and let's not fill with this thread with "it works for me" please.)

i'm currently owner of a phone that can't phone.

I'll update my ota thread

I hope google can quickly send all the ota. There should be some people try every efforts by downgrade then upgrade or going thru any path to get the 2.3.4, may finally mess up the phone ...

it seems impossible to downgrade.

google, you broke my phone.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Do you have the correct build number?
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
Try flash an older ROM first, then flash a known working radio for your phone. Hope that gets your phone working again.

[Nexus S General] alvaroaze:
Manually flashed my Nexus S and now im having poor reception/disconnects on 3G data. Also my GPS didnt improve. Im not rooted and have stock android.

Did I do something wrong while upgrading to 2.3.4? Can i revert to 2.3.3?
[Nexus S General] raeef:
I did the manual update for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 nothing went wrong
[Nexus S General] Elvoski:
i manually done mine and have no such problem.

let's stop with the "i did it, and i'm ok" posts, which if you read in op, you'll see i wrote the same.
[Nexus S General] saryu:
i too unable to connect to network. APN still there but i can't connect to network. But i still able to downgrade to previous version. if unable to, try restore from the latest nandroid backup? i manage to restore to my CM7.0.2. im gonna wait for a bit longer~~~
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
did any of you try to use your SIM in a other phone? did it work?

did any of you requested support of your carrier ?

and did any one delete their APN's(yes all of them,total reset.factory ect ect)

and tryd to retype the apn settings manually??

DID any one of you guys notice you have to set the IPV4 and IPV6 options in APN Editor????

or did any one RESET your sim?(yes you can,there are codes for that.ask your carrier)

if i want to connect to my carrier's APN i have to fide a bit with the setting and leave things out.

like BEN.NL( T-mo) says APN type needs to be: internet.

if i type internet in the APN type.

my network(3G ect) wont work.

i i leave APN type empty.

all works fine.
[Nexus S General] alvaroaze:
my phone is working, just the 3G reception is very poor and dropping constantly

- didnt try the SIM at any other phones

- didnt request support yet (carriers in Brazil suck, they dont even know the APN settings)

- tried deleting and adding APN now, not enough time to test it yet

i had IP4 in APN
[Nexus S General] saryu:
i didn't try other simcard because i only have 1. but i do check my APN setting, and it's all the same as previously. i don't know what went wrong, but i will stick to my cm7.0.2.. until next version of cm support 2.3.4. i can't live without CM goodies :p

I'm on i9020A and was on kb3 2.3.3 rooted. Did the manual update "for all nexus s phones" and 2.3.4 kd1 is working OK. Hsupa is enabled now, as the i9020a had hsupa capped out of the box. Only questionable is GPS lock isn't great at all until I step outside.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
3.4.5? whaaat? :P you mean 2.3.4
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
did you also try puting the sim card into a difrent phone?

just trying to help ^^

Ok, I might have spoken too soon. The battery life is not very good with this setup and I have decided to go back to stock. With 5 min of screen use I lost %18 battery in 1hr 45min. Doesn't seem right to me, as the cell signal is the %1 battery drain per battery status in settings.

Newbie Questions

Hi all.

I am new to XDA and cellphone modding or rooting.

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S and a Nexus S [Android 2.3.2 (Build GRH78C/JK8 Radio)].

What is an OTA upgrade? Is it Over-The-Air Upgrade? :confused:

If it is OTA, how does Google roll it out? Does Google literally send the firmware upgrade OTA? :confused:

My apologies, kind sirs and madams, if my questions appear elementary to you.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
no. because i have a i9020, and being op and all... there are other countries besides america... other telcos than at+t. the i9020 is the model of my phone. ssn being i9020gsmh
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Then it wouldn't sound scary enough.
[Nexus S General] ahdee:
I don't have that prob. Stock ROM and recovery 2.3.3 manually to 2.3.4 with the full ota rom now running smoothly.
[Nexus S General] alvaroaze:
i have 9020T, not A

GPS is perfect now, but 3G still randomly disconnects :(
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i did a manual upgrade, and it worked perfectly, it's even faster, and battery life is amazing

also replaced the stock kernel with Netachy kernel
[Nexus S General] iamhola:

Mines been fine my wifi is a bit dodgey but our net its self is f'd
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
please read the first post of this thread - especially the bit about not posting "i upgraded and it worked for me" posts. this is about trying to find the cause of why some people can't connect, not whether it works for you.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
you can always restore a good working version of the 2.3.4 nandroid backup

make sure to wipe data & wipe cache, also wipe dalvidk and wipe battery stats
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
People can post whatever they want. If you wanted a thread to discuss possible problems with manually upgrading, you should have titled it "Possible issue with manually updating" instead of "Do not manually upgrade!" That's just plain scare mongering.
[Nexus S General] plastix:
You can't find the cause without understanding why some succeed, otherwise the thread is just scare mongering and of little value.

I agree. It's not like we have window phones.

[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
i agree. how the eff dare i post a thread that said i had problems, and you could too. i mean really, how obscene of me to believe you may actually think for yourself and understand the whole point of this thread. it's not like there aren't a multitude of threads in this forum already stating that many people have upgraded and are happy which you couldn't post in. but anyway, you're right. We are people and can say whatever we want whereever we want. Irrelevant threads will be moved, but off-topic posts will not be.

"I UPGRADED AND ALL IS OK. IF I DON'T SAY THIS IT'S SCAREMONGERING. MANUAL UPGRADING POSES NO RISKS AT ALL. NONE WHATSOEVER. REALLY, NOT ONE.", and "I WAS WRONG TO POST THIS THREAD STATING I HAD PROBLEMS EXPECTING PEOPLE NOT TO SAY THEY ARE NOT LUMBERJACKS, BUT STILL ARE OK."

There is a huge yet subtle difference between saying "i had problems with the manual upgrade can someone help me" and "i had problems so NO ONE ELSE SHOULD DO IT". It's the later that your thread title suggests.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
well, the manual update isn't official, so technically, no you shouldn't do it. and, if i had problems, others may have them too, by posting "hey it worked for me" is about as useful for narrowing down the problem as is spitting in the wind. but go ahead everyone, i appear to have taken permission away from you, but now i give it back, i give you permission. upgrade.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Saying "it worked for me" is just as much like spitting in the wind as "don't upgrade my phone is messed up "
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Unlocking your bootloader, flashing CWM, flashing custom ROMs... none of that is official either. Its at least far less official than installing an official update downloaded from official Google servers flashed with official stock recovery on an officially unrooted phone. So should we stop flashing completely?

[Atrix 4G General] Heisenberg420:
every time i search in the market, after i hit search (while having the H+ up & down arrows), i get a pop up saying

Attention

A network error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.

then the up & down arrows will disappear. then after about 10-15 seconds, they reappear and i can hit retry and continue the search.

this also happens occasionally when i open the market.

the market is the only app i have this problem in, so thats why i thought it was the app not my connection.

any suggestions

edit: 4.1.83 update did not fix this
[Atrix 4G General] sifon187:
Is your battery management setting set to "Battery Mode"? This mode stops data after inactivity. Try setting it to performance and see if that helps. Also, could be a issue with the tower you are connected to.

root it

put the system.img into a500

connect to the computer with adb and follow the codes:

Thanks to everyone who put this together.
[Acer Iconia A500] dstudios:
The zip file is the recovery file provided by Acer and it is indeed a Chinese rom. However the system.img file is as I understand it, was imaged from a US system directory.

[Acer Iconia A500] nicocalv06:
I upload now
[Acer Iconia A500] nycbjr:
This is right, my system.img file was from my (now dead and exchanged a500), us WIFI..

I can provide another from my now new one if needed...

the update.acer.zip (or acer.update.zip) was a chinese rom I was given, it is signed so i can be used in "emergency" situations until we can find a "real recovery" solution.. which I hope is soon, I want to start hacking with this thing again, but afraid to do much until we have a nice recovery.

othwise its working great and I'm very happy.. I'm close to being able to laeve my 17" hackbook-pro (hp dv9700, running snow leopard) at home and only taking the tablet :-)
