Agreed, it's not a 3G issue, it's a software issue as I said earlier in this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] nick cannon:
has anyone found a solution to this problem i want to tehter my ipad and i cant use vpn.
[HTC EVO 3D] MyClothesOn:
I'm using L2TP instead of PPTP and I'm able to connect to the US and UK (from Canada eh!)

My VPN provider does not advertise L2TP but some of their servers support it anyway. It may be worth a try.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Are any of you on stock roms and have taken the new update and tested to see if this happens to be fixed? I'm on a ICS rom and have no plans to update my firmware anytime soon.... Unless of course they fixed our issues here. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Yes, I quoted myself but wanted to check and see if you all have seen any progress here? I'm about to the point of paying for the Hotsot service for a month just so when I ***** about not being able to hit VPN I have a legitimate and solid leg to stand on. I would be so livid if I paid for the service but being rooted and only required to use wifi tether occasionally, i can't be too mad, just disappointed and confused.

Just wanted to let you all know that I have VPN working on my Evo 3D. Not exactly sure what is allowing it to work now but I can successfully connect to my work PTPP VPN and then use wifi tether to connect my laptop to the network.

1. I had to disable the encryption setting in the VPN setup on the phone.

2. Unlike on the OG Evo, you don't need to launch your VPN connection on the laptop because you are already moving data through the secured tunnel.

Good luck folks!

What do you think made it work. Infected ROM?

I just tried and it still fails for me using Clean ROM 2.9.5

What Kernel are you using?
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Look at the screen shots I provided and check them against your Software Number (I think I am on the newest OTA version, that Clean Rom you are on is the old, IIRC), Baseband and Kernel. I honestly don't know what did it and I hadn't tried for awhile BUT I HAVE NOT done the last Firmware or Baseband (radio) update. I think Scott was working on the next Clean series that is based on the latest OTA software version so if your version isn't 2.17.xxxx then do a nandroid, flash his new rom which should be and see what happens.

I was asking if anyone on the stock rom could get it to work because they would have taken the lastest Firmware and Baseband updates and I figured maybe that would have fixed it. Don't know what it was but its working, that is what I do know. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I just loaded latest Eternity and your right, it indeed does work.

I need to do some digging what fixed it, but I suspect your right it's the Kernel.

I want my blinking LEDs for Messages/Email though. Tough choice.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Encryption works for me and I can run the Desktop VPN software (Windows 7 PPTP) as well. Behaves just like the EVO 4G now.

Yippy !!

Thanks again for posting.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
It think its the Software version, not kernel.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

So you launched your VPN connection on the computer after you connected to the E3D with VPN connection already open? I'm using a W7 machine as well but once I realized I had access to network resources without opening the VPN connection on the laptop I left it alone.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the update to the software version. That Clean Rom you were on was in older RUU 2.08.651. Virus's Eternity is on the new RUU 2.17.651.5 but I'd have to try to mix in the old 2.08.651 kernel to see if it breaks it and that would determine if its the software or underlying kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
it works just fine but you have to call Sprint and request a static IP address for your 3g, it;s $3.00 per month but that will allow you to use your VPN
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
What software version are you on? We know it works on the new OTA RUU (not sure if its the a combo if the software release + kernel or the kernel alone) but I'm not sure if you are saying you have a RUU 2.08.651 and are saying all we have every had to do is request this static IP and it would have worked out of the box:confused::confused:

Also, lets just say I have a friend that is rooted and uses his tethering at a discounted rate, what would they tell someone at Sprint is the reason they need a static IP address? Is there ANY (that you know of) draw back to making our IP static?

Please do share if you know more.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I am on latest stock rooted...

I was able to use VPN over wifi but it would never work over 3g, I called sprint and requested a static IP and the tech said "ok but thats an extra $3.00 per month" and I said "ok fine" and he said "ok one second.... there you should see your phone update"

then my phone automatically did some quick update to refresh the IP address and I was instantly able to get on my VPN over 3g without any problems.

Everything works great now
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Thanks for elaborating but 2 questions.

1. Where you already on a new RUU rom when you made this request or were you on the previous "old" software version? Since you are the only person I have ever heard of doing this, IF you got the static IP after the latest RUU version was released, it probably didn't actually help? If that is the case, do you think you could do a NANDROID and load up an older RUU rom and see if the static IP was the magic bullet we didn't know about.

2. Is there any drawback to the static IP on your device besides the added fee covered?

Sent from my Evo3D with XDA Premium App (but I still know how to search)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
1. I was already on the latest rooted OTA fully up to date when I called and had them flip the switch for me.

2. none that I have run into, the only difference I notice is the VPN works over 3g :) I have limited 4g in my area so I have not tested that yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Clean ROM Reborn V1.1 works too.

I believe it's in the Kernel. It doesn't really matter.

I didn't want to mix vintage OS with new Kernel so I'm running everything up to date now, including all the Radios.

You don't need a Static IP for it to work.

Clean ROM reborn is very nice, and clean :)

Only thing is I lost my sticky notification LEDs, that Mwalt did on the older Kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Would you be willing to flash to an older base rom and see the static IP actually fixed the issue? I think it's the new base that has been our savior.

Yup, I think its the base, not the firmware or even radio as I'm on all the older ones.
[HTC EVO 3D] oppman29:
I tried the new clean ROM --CleanROM Reborn 1.1- and have the same kernel version posted in the image: 2.6.35.13-g277012f . I do have a different base band Im on 1.06.001216 ... Clean ROM didn't work.

Eternity - Eternity-r233 --also didn't work..

I also tried the proxy trick here...

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/361521-streaming-media-tyrrany-sprint-proxies.html still No go..

I'm doing full Wipes after every install...

Can someone on baseband 1.06.001216 post how they got it work?

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I'm on that baseband and it's working on cleanrom reborn 1.1

I'm using pptp (with or without encryption)

Does it work on wifi? If it does not, you have a different issue.

The bug that folks are talking about in this thread only failed on 3G. But worked on WIFI and 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Hey Guys, you all have any luck with connecting to VPN anymore? I can't and have also had 2 colleagues that could access before (back when I thought we had this figured out) but not anymore.

I'm thinking about giving the static ip address request a try to see if it works.

Sent from my Evo3D with XDA Premium App (but I still know how to search)
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Just want to relay back that getting the static IP address WILL INDEED let us access pptp vpn services perfectly. I think I the few days we got it to work was a fluke in the Sprint system because it sure did atop working.

For $3 a months, I'm a little pissed I didn't know about it earlier (as in a year ago) but I'll be done with the 3d in the next 2 months anyway. Evo 4G LTE is coming to town!

[HTC Sensation] Stone Cold:
Well I got it powered on after I pulled the battery...BUT...

I was driving and I had my Sensation in my generic car dock with both the charger and the headphone jacked plugged in. FWIW I was listening to Pandora. Suddenly, the phone shut off and wouldn't come back on.

When I unplugged the charger and plugged it back in, the LED was alternating red and green. This happened over a week ago and I haven't had a problem since.

So what did that pattern on the LED mean? Has anyone seen anything like that before?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
On my HD2 it did that when it got too hot, usually when I was tethering over wifi & charging at the same time
[HTC Sensation] SNK180:
hmm? maybe it was overheating. htc phones now days are supposed to have some kind of overheating prevention.i dont know if that is your problem.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
You should put SetCPU on your phone so you can see the Battery temps at least . You dont

need root to see the factory clock speed and battery temps .
[HTC Sensation] Stone Cold:
Consensus says overheated, huh? It's certainly possible. It does get pretty hot. AND, come to think of it, it was a 105+ Arizona summer day and I don't think I had the sunshade up in the car. But my mount has the AC blowing on it.

I'll pop SetCPU on it and keep an eye on the temps and watch for the behaviour again...

Thanks all!

I ordered it on Friday morning, and it was delivered via USPS on Tuesday. It shipped from Houston, TX. It is pretty much the same thing as the EVO 4G model, but it fits the 3D. I am happy with it.

Here is a link to the 4G review. Again, it looks and feels pretty much the same.

[General Questions and Answers] katormes:
Hi,

I have a Galaxy S II since about a week. It is rooted and Titanium Backup (paid version) is installed.

When I deleted an app I didn't want to keep I accidentally deleted the wrong one, something called BadgeProvider. Alas, I have found out that this system app makes it possible to send SMS (maybe more problems that I haven't found out yet) Without it, I can't .

I have tried to reinstall it from Titanium but that doesn't work. I have found the BadgeProvider.apk file on the Internet and trid to install it with several app installers but that doesn't work either.

I do need to send and receive SMS. How do I get a functional smartphone again?

I do badly need help

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] DanBroChill:
Well, I would recommend you move the Titanium Backup File onto different storage, than factory reset the phone. If you've only had it a week I don't imagine you are going to lose too much, especially if you are already backed up. May take a little bit to re-root and restore and everything but, it's better than trial and error/waiting for a specific solution.

Hey did you get your momax case? I'm interested, does it fit well? also where did you order it from and how long did it take to get it?

I like this case because unlike all the scp cases, there is no antenna hole, and as i have an international version, its just an extra hole for possible damage.

Illinois08 and me are at it again with another one. Now, this started out as joke just messing around in GIMP but we liked it so we thought we would share.

We built it from scratch so hope you enjoy and if you don't that's cool to because as I said this was a joke around that turn into a project.

Updated 6-30 with v2 per request!

Updated 6-30 with v3 per request! Only difference between v2 and v3 is v3 has a loop at end instead of the error screen!

7-7

Added GreenMuggy's edition of v3 called v5! It has red clouds!!

With out further ado....

Download zip.

Place on SD.

Reboot to recovery.

Install zip.

Reboot and enjoy :)!
