[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
I really like the ROM, but I had no 3g/4g data, and I couldn't receive mms. I wiped the data and both caches and reinstalled the Ron three times. I tried the files from the unnamed ROM (which I was using before Serendipity), but it didn't fix my issue. I tried the apn and mms settings mentioned in other threads, but it didn't help. For apn, I used the phone one, not wap.cingular. Now that I'm on Cognition, I see that wap.Cingular is the right one (at least for my market).

Like someone said above, I don't like the idea of needing to salvage files from other ROMs in order to get this one working. I tried because I really wanted this ROM. I will come back when this issue is fixed.

I wonder, though, if my massive battery savings was from my phone not being able to go online. I could only go online through a wifi connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SNadler:
You do not need to "salvage" files.

The rom works flawlessly. I flashed it and have run it hard for 2 days now with zero issues.

It still sounds like APN issues which if you are going to flash rom's you will inevitably run into.

Possibly start over? Do a Full wipe, Dalvik also. Reflash the rom and before you reboot, just for safety sake, before you leave cwm wipe data/factory reset again. Reb0ot the phone and wait 10 minutes before your start to play with it. If you do not have perfect data access then check your APN's and adjust as necessary (I did not have to touch them on this rom). .....

Hope this helps.....:)

I deleted Telephone.db and now my phone have no data(internet).

Can someone post it back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
Go into your APN settings, press menu, and reset to defaults.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
Tried many times. It just stuck at the "restoring your APNs to default" and never goes through.

I fixed my MMS issue by flashing back to 8.0. Seren8.1 as issues with MMS. And downgrading seemed to fix my problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
Might try this myself. Would I lose all my settings/apps though? I lost them when going to S8.1 originally, and would just like to avoid the hassle.

EDIT: I found GoSMS Pro works fine for pictures. Going to disable the regular message app and use this until I can figure out a fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] robstunner:
Hmph, odd. I always used CM7 as i just prefer it to the stock samsung one. I never changed settings or anything, just over wrote the apk and its been working like a charm. I just sent and received 4 pictures today flawlessly from another android phone as well as a iPhone 4S.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
I too am having the same issues with this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
Not for me it didn't. I've tried multiple MMS apps from the other roms, and nothing worked correctly. In fact, somehow I got to the point where NONE of the MMS apps were installing. Trying Unnamed now.

EDIT: Unnamed seems nice enough, will likely stay here until I read that Serendipity fixes it's issues. MMS works fine. Draining battery, will know how it does tomorrow (work 12 hour shifts, phone on stock would make it--but usually with <20% by the end of the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
Yes, I did a full wipe, including Dalvik for each 3 reinstall. My guess is that either the settings are market-dependent, or maybe out of the several sites hosting the file, I chose one that had a bad file in it.

I think it might be the former, though. I remember the last time I had an at&t phone (years ago), I would lose the ability to text when I went to Vegas. The at&t rep said that I would have to change my settings whenever I went there.

I also read a post where the OP said that wap.Cingular is wrong and that we should change it to phone. On Serendipity, it said phone. On cognition, it's wap.Cingular. It seems the latter settings are the correct settings for me. Maybe that's because this entire area used to be Cingular, and all of the towers here are still labeled as such. *shrugs*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
I think that I have figured out the cause of the problem.

Unfortunately it means removing the MMS themes and no-emails. At least for now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
I got mms working in Serendipity 8.1

Deleting telephony.DB did not work.

Doing the apn manually did not work.

Pushing the mms files from Cognition and Unnamed didn't work.

What I did was to download "apn manager" and had it back up my apn while I was on a working ROM (Cognition). I then installed Serendipity 8.1 and reinstalled apn manager. When I had it restore my apn, it asked if I wanted to delete the current apn. I said yes, and now mms is working.

I don't know what files apn manager backs up, nor what files it deleted, but it enabled mms for me when every other tip failed me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kyentabug:
the above MMSC: line contains a typo, it should be "http" not "hhtp"

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Just out of curiosity, can you paste the contents of the APN manager backup file saved when you were running Cognition ROM? should be located in sdcard/ApnManager/ApnBackup.xml"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
No need for any of that.....download apn manager from market and go to the dual apns being used.....long press on the Mms one and change the apn from phone to wap.cingular....then save. You will immediately be able to send Mms and still use the hspa+ phone apn for internet ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kyentabug:
In case anyone is interested, I pulled the APN settings from some ROMs. I used "apnmanager" from the market. Below I listed the md5sums showing all of files have the same content; which are the 3 AT&T APN profiles ("ATT Phone", "ATT WAP", "ATT ENTITLEMENT"). Entitlement is the only hidden APN. If you would like to learn what the "mcc", "mnc" and "type" settings are for, look up "Access Point Name" on wiki.

NOTE:

MCC is the Mobile Country Code (310=USA, range 310-316)

MNC is the Mobile Network Code (410=AT&T GSM 850 / GSM 1900 / UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sdas683:
THIS ONE

Tried all the other fixes listed in the forum to no avail.. Did this and worked instantly. You really don't even need APN Manager just go to your APN's and select whatever is your primary, change the apn name from (Phone) to (wap.cingular) works like a charm! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
Everything should be working now from flashing 8.2 full.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chuckscarstereo:
So, just to be clear, the 8.1 to 8.2 update is not sufficient? Has to be the full 8.2 to fix mms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
either 8.1 to 8.2 or 8.2 fixed MMS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chuckscarstereo:
I went from stock and installed 8.0, updated to 8.1, which broke mms, deleted apn and added like many people say but never got it working, updated to 8.2 and it was still broke. It still had the same apn that I had added before. Then today I added the wap apn which made mms work if I add a pic to a message but not if I try to send a pic from the gallery.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] wilfredcool007:
U need not use eclipse.... just use the apktool to deompile the apk file.... u will find folders called res xml value etc etc after u decompile the apk usin either apktool or apk manager.... If u want to change the icon or appearance use the drawables's folder where all the pngs's are present if u want to make any changes in xml use the folder"xml" and open the files usin notepad++

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] wilfredcool007:
downlaod the "complete set of tools" by me it'll be in the posts under android development and hackins ection.... in that ull find apktool and apk manager and some more

copy the apk file u want into "keep here for Modding" folder of apk manager den open "script".... press 9 to decompile... the decompiled files wil be in the "projects" folder of apkmanager... go into it and do ur modifications...more than this no one can be taught for more reference search using google.. :) :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] reikableu:
i did download all that is in here... so i'll give it a try again...

...edit...

i always get an error for decompiling...

i attached a log where the error is, maybe you can check it...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] wilfredcool007:
listen...ill teach u now as simple as possible.... first hav the apk file with u for example take mms.apk

den download my tools

den in that go to apk manager

place the apk file in the place here for modding folder

now open script den press 9... u will hav hav no response but a folder with the apk name u hav will be created in the projects folder.... now go into the projects folder and there u will find folder called res

open that and further go to drawable folder or which ever folder u want... replace the icon which u want to be replaced with the same name as it was in the folder... for example if u want to change the mms icon the default icon is "icon.png" now download a png of ur choice rename it as "icon" and replace it in the folder.... now open the scripts again

press 11 to compile

it'll ask whether its a system file press "y" den again press "y"

if you have autobrightness off untick the option were you have the auto power adjuster and see what happens..that should be in the display settings at the bottom. i think if i am not mistaken if you have it ticked to adjust the brightness on each page say your browsing when you open one..so by unticking that the autobrightness stays the same for any page you go on...even by when you going iinto settings and playing a game etc etc you get the drift

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Andy0x2A:
Hi.

I have an LG Optimus 2x P999 (G2x?) from wind mobile.

Stock it runs Android 2.2.2 With a baseband of M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [Jun 05 2011]

kernel 2.6.32.9

I want to put on a custom ROM (Cyanogen, gingerbread or ICS).

After reading through some of the guides in the G2X Android Development forum, I couldn't find many references to the Wind version and whether the custom ROMS for G2X will work with it.

Do I need to do anything different to get a custom rom to work with wind, and does anyone have experience putting a custom rom on a wind P999?

Thanks,

Andy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The Wind Mobile 2X is P999 hardware. Same hardware as TMO G2X. You can flash any rom that is for the P999 (G2X). DO NOT flash anything designated for P990 (O2X) or you can screw up your phone bad. "G2X" is a proprietary T-Mobile name for the phone. All other versions can only be called a 2X. Depending on the rom you flash, you might wind up with a T-Mobile startup screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
You should be able to attain root via NVFlash. It's in the dev section. Then you can just flash away on CM7. Just make sure you know WIND's APN settings so that you can have service/3G/4G etc.

Good luck.

I am using Wind. If you have issue, I probably can give you a tip or two :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
In case you guys aren't aware, it isn't just sufficient to have a modem that supports the 850 band. Many of us need a modem that PRIORITIZES the 850 band. This is necessary because CyanogenMod and Galnet MIUI do not support band selection.

For example, I live in a highrise in downtown Montreal, where the 850 band is MUCH stronger than the 1900/2100 bands. However JL2 kept switching to the 1900/2100 band even though it was consuming much more battery and giving more dropped calls.

The only modem I found so far that prioritizes the 850 band is JL3. (Yes I used the Telus Fascinate modem on my I9000)

Have there been any newer modems that prioritize 850 band that work better than JL3?

[HTC Amaze 4G] madreag:
So I really needed tethering for the next few days so I decided to spend the $15 to enable the feature. I'm able to connect my laptop (tried 2 different laptops) to the phone using AP or USB tethering. The problem is the internet connectivity (exclamation point appearing on the wifi status within 1 min of connecting). The wifi status says no internet access, but it is still connected to the phone.

On the phone side of things, I have full 4G bars (even when the connection drops on the laptop). I have a really good connection in the area (speedtest of ~2000KB/s). Ive called T-Mobile and they can't figure it out. They told me to go exchange the phone for another one and make sure it works with my laptop before leaving.

I just hope the new Amaze will work. The mobile AP feature really comes in handy sometimes... I may have to leave the amaze and go GSII if I can't get this resolved. Anyone else having a similar issue with tethering? FYI, I was able to get USB tethering to work by using easyteher (from android market).
