STEP 5 - APN Information and FAQ

Here is the correct APN information for all pertinent carriers. I was unable to find the Korean APN information so if someone will PM me this, I will gladly add it!

It can be found -> Here

This is how you add APN settings:

-Press the Menu key

-Go to Settings

-Go to Wireless controls

-Go to Mobile networks

-Go to Access Point Names

-Press the Menu key

-Select New APN

-Add pertinent information

Depending on what carrier you use, these are the settings:

You might need to add 2 APNs for your specific carrier.

Whatever is does not have settings, leave blank.

After you have added your APN information make sure you ENABLE the little RADIO icon.. its the circular icon, that is usually empty after adding APN information. :)

Frequently Asked Questions!

Q) What's so special about 2.1.1 vs Stock or 1.4.2

A) A lot of things! Some of the most noticeable improvements are the boot time when using stock 2.1.1. It is FAST and the display is much more responsive than stock Bell Motoblur. Also MotoBlur is much more responsive in loading and switching between screens, even the stock keyboard is an improvement in terms of feedback and usability. Stock 2.1.1 no longer lags when typing. The fingerprint reader has improved significantly as well in comparison to previous SBF. Quadrant scores also went up for me in comparison to 1.4.2 GreyBlur. There is a lot of feedback regarding this but all of it has been GOOD.

Q) Should I stay on 2.1.1 STOCK or should I flash GreyBlur/GingerBlur?

A) Stock is actually quite decent, for Canadian Fido users there is a HUGE improvement as the carrier name is actually correct now and does not take 50% of the notification bar. None the less, GreyBlur runs beautifully and even faster on this SBF! Its quite impressive in boot time, smoothness and the loss of all the bloatware is quite good. It also provides theming support for us International users, so that we may use 1.5.7/1.8.3 framework themes!

Q) 1080p recording?!

A) Yes.. By running Seven's Blurfix Patch, LGCamera Free is installed. This as well as an internal mod allows 1080p recording on the phone! There are however special settings to get it to work.

Instructions:

-Start LGCamera

-Press the Back key to get rid of the purchase nag or buy the full version! :)

-Select the Video option to switch Video recording

-Press the menu key to open the options menu

-In the options menu scroll down to Video settings and set the following settings. (This is the only way 1080p will work!)

Video Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (1080p)

Encoder: Default

File Format: MPEG4

Video Bitrate 13 Mbit

Hit the red button and you're good to go!

Q) What is HSUPA?

A) High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA family with up-link speeds up to 5.76 Mbit/s. By default both the ATT and Bell ROMS have this disabled and therefore features like Voice over IP, skype, videochat are almost unusable. By enabling HSUPA this allows you to use these and also benefit from faster uplink access therefore speeding up you're mobile internet.

Q) Why is GingerBlur 3.1 not recommended.

A) It has been shown in various threads and people's reports (in my original thread) that 3.1 has various glitches and issues. Non functional Home button (when skipping motoblur setup), wifi issues (although most of them resolved now) as well as terrible battery life. GreyBlur on the other hand has proven to work PERFECTLY and is a better platform to have custom framework modded ontop of it. Use all both of these at your own risk!

Q) Why is Swype removed by applying BlurFix Patch?

A) Because there are issues with it. I'm also not allowed to post information or files related to swype on how to fix it. The alternative is to install the updated beta which can be found here in the DEV section. Much better fix/alternative.

Q) I want my Launcher to be smoother! How?

A) Use LauncherPro. It is by far the smoothest. A good alternative is GoLaucher Ex which is also great.

Q) I did not get the Power Icon that you mentioned in your guide.. what did I do wrong?

A) This is a feature of the Atrix called Power Management. It can be accessed at: Settings->Battery Manager -> Battery Mode. There you can select whatever profile you want!

Q) I want to flash other themes! What do I do?!

A) Feel free to flash any theme that is for ATT framework ONLY.. As long as you have GreyBlur installed this will work. Try to flash themes for 1.5.2 and 1.8.x ATT. Previous ones are unknown and unsupported.

Q) I flashed a theme and now, my phone wont boot!!! what do I do? Do I have start over again?

A) No you dont! First if this happened, you have to Factory Reset. (That sucks.. But its the price we have to pay to get this functioning)

Follow this short guide below: How to access Android Recovery

-On your first reboot after flashing a new theme, hold VOL down as the phone powers on.

-Then use power down again to select Android Recovery

-Once selected, press Power button ONCE, then VOL UP

-Tap lower right hand corner of screen if you have no buttons

-Select Wipe data/factory reset using volume buttons

-Triple tap (or more) on the lower left hand corner of the screen to select OK

-Using the same method, reboot the phone using that option in the menu!

-The phone should boot.

Should the phone not boot, it means you flashed something unsupported so back to square one! :(

Q) My Lapdock Keyboard is all messed up!! What do I do?

A) Unfortunately you did not read the section above (STEP 3) which specifically states what should be done in preparation to flash so that your Lapdock Keyboard functions properly. I am attempting to create a hotfix patch for this to avoid people having to reflash but at the moment there is no other way.

Q) I wish to DeOdex Stock 2.1.1 so that I may theme my phone without using GingerBlur/GreyBlur or to install Arabic Language pack. What do I do?

A) Read STEP 2, after ROOT and RECOVER there is a section now, which contains instructions on how to use the 2.1.1 DeOdex tool I've created.

Q) I'm having connectivty issues with DATA and VOICE.. what do I do?

A) Flash this radio -> HERE. This generally solves issues with connectivity.

If you have any more questions please let me know!
