[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
Well I just wanted to update this thread. It looks like PPTP VPN is broken in stock android and therefore it's not specific to the rezound. It looks like it can be fixed by developers (and from what I've read) it's pretty common for it to be fixed in non-stock roms. The lack of internet/browsing is caused by a bug in the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) implementation. The following article explains it pretty well:

http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/articles/android_vpn_bug/index.php

This thread discusses some workarounds that were a bit over my head:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706

IPsec connections are not affected....and it looks like MPPE connections have been fixed in ICS. If any developers could take a look at the above thread and explain in more basic english how to "fix" the connections that would be greatly appreciated. :) If not, i guess i'll have to wait and hope ICS fixes it.

[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
Very interesting! Thank you! Have you used the PPTP or L2TP version? Was this just to setup the vpn server and then you connect to it with the stock vpn client?
[HTC Rezound] fjl307:
I'm using the L2TP version

I'm having the same issues as you are. I know I'm replying a month late, but I didn't get my phone setup until almost Dec 30th and have been fighting my corp VPN ever since.

Once in a while I can get ping to work from Better Android Terminal, but that is always short lived and I can never get anything to work from other apps.

I'm glad you found the issue. I took a look at logcat and it is definitely a kernel issue. When the connection starts, I get the message "couldn't set tty to ppp discipline".

I'm running CM 7.1 but I can't install BusyBox, says "problem with core utilities"

I'm running CM 7.1 and trying to install LCD Resoution from the Market but it requires root (which I have) and busybox which I don't. I downloaded busybox and went through the steps to apply it but it says I can't because I may need to re-flash my rom and then says "problem with core utilities".

Any idea how I can fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] passstab:
same problem

with cm 7.1 on the original sgs after busybox 5.5 update

it worked fine before that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] passstab:

Is there any themed stock HTC messaging apps for our phone? I haven't seen one would like a dark messaging app but I prefer to stick with the stock one. The market apps usually tend to lag and are ad supported which is annoying unless you buy.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baconstrip:
Hi everyone.. I searched a bit but couldn't come up with any more answers so I'm wondering if I missed something.

I've had my TF since like May, and for as long as I've had it, I've had this issue.

No matter what kernel or Rom or anything, my TF always randomly reboots ONLY when my screen is shut off and the wireless is left on. It doesn't reboot if I'm using it, and the only way to make it not happen is to turn on airplane mode when I'm done with it.

Its not a big deal, but it is annoying, especially if I leave it in the living room and forget airplane mode. Then whoever is in there gets to watch my TV constantly and randomly reboot every few minutes.

Its just more annoying than anything. Id love to just keep wifi active so it automatically connects when I turn the screen on.

Other than this, my TF has been flawless for like 6 months :)

Thanks if anyone has any information!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avlon:
I've suffered through the same issue with my 16gb TF. By any chance do you have your pattern lockscreen turned on? Can't quite remember where, but I read that having it stops the reboots.

I tried it on mine and haven't had one since...but it's only been a day or 2. Can anyone confirm if the lockscreen stops or limits the issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baconstrip:
Wow, ill have to give this a try. I've never used the pattern lockscreen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colint3:
random reboots

I get this after about an hour of use. If I sitch it off via the button then when I press it again it reboots. If I just let th TF switch itself off (after 5 mins) it switches on normally when I press the start button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sigismund83:
I also had similar problems with my wife's TF, it rebooted randomly just about anytime (not just with screen off), apps crashing randomly. When I returned it to the store where I bought it, they immediately replaced it with a new one that doesn't suffer any of those problems.

If you have such problems, I'd recommend taking it back to the store for repair, because that is definitely not the expected behavior.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baconstrip:
unfortunately the lock screen thing didn't work :(

Can't really take the thing back, I've had it for months.... fortunately this is the only issue I have... I can live with it. Its purely an annoyance that doesn't affect me when using it...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwang:
Morning Folks,

i just got my Razr GSM yesterday - ( i bought galaxy note the other day and to be frank i don't like the built quality of Gnote - it's worse now since it got the Razr in my hand!)

my problem is while setting a work email (company name.com) i can't see any messages. the exchange client on my laptop is set to leave email on the server and my bb9900 works fine setting it to imap and no security (port 143).

i tried to set the razr to imap, with and without security, and it still doesn't work.

i tried to use k9, it works on imap but i cannot see the inbox - but i can see other folders !

tried touchdown but its so complicated and it still won't work.

what could possibly be the problem?

is it because i already use the inbox on my blackberry? but few weeks ago the setup works fine in nokia n950 running meego

please advise,

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pOOBAH1973:
If your company uses Exchange, you should use corporate sync (active sync) instead of IMAP4. Should work as expected with Exchange calendar and contacts as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
It seems that Samsung Dive only works on my sgs2 when either the wifi or the network data mode is enabled on the device. What's worse is that if the "Wireless Networks / View Location in Maps" option is disabled, it will ask to be enabled while tracking the device.

Practically making Samsung Dive uesless.

Is there a fix for this? I've flashed a few ROMs but I'm back on stock, I never had this problem before flashing ROMs. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I'm curious how you expect it to work without some kind of data connection.

Regarding your point about being asked for permission, if on KK5 at least, if you freeze the Network Location apk (com.google.android.location), the prompt does not appear and it does not seem to inhibit your ability to use GPS correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Sorry if I made myself unclear, what I mean is that the user has to manually enable wifi or 3g to be able to use SD. So if the phone is lost, there's nobody there to enable 3g/wifi, so SD won't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You weren't unclear. How would you like it to communicate with the phone with no data connection?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Before I flashed ROMs SD would activate my 3g (when it was already off), then activate my wireless networks / location option, ten activate my GPS, then find my device. But now all it does is sits there, trying to connect, until i manually enable wifi or 3g, which it will then ask me to enable my wireless netoworks / location, and then it doesn't do anyting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
OP, you make no sense. You didn't answer to oinkylicious's question: how can SD reach your phone if it can't connect to it? It's almost impossible, so yes, someone has to be there to enable data or wifi. It was always like this and it will always be like this with the current technology ;).

About manually activating the tracking system, I also have my doubts. I only tried this several months ago, but then it showed my location without asking me to enable tracking. I'm on CM7 now, so I can't test it.

Alternatives: theft aware can do the same thing (now quite good, but it works) via SMS. You just send the code to your phone, and it gives you the location.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Well it's just that on my sister's sgs2, she doesn't need to manually activate 3g.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlenH:
Why would you have your data connection switched off anyway?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Because 3g wastes a tonne of battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
I am curious to this actually. What happens if your phone is stolen and the person who stole it is smart enough to turn off data and gps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Exactly my point, my sister doesn't have this problem (unrooted, never flashed roms), but I do :(.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haghdk:
What would the person use the phone for then? I actually don't think that a thief would have the slighest idea that he/she should turn data off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
That isn't the point. The point is that it's ****ed up and I need help. /getting pissed off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You still haven't answered my question. Also, could you provide some proof that this works on the other phone with all forms of data turned off, as it intuiges me.

If it works on an older ROM, revert until "fixed". If it doesn't, use an app controlled via SMS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Already reverted to stock, problem still exists. Will upload video as soon as my sister gets home.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Knowing people who live on a council estate talking about disabling the internet on a phone or turning it off and flogging it on ebay leads me to believe different. That aware theft thing that works via SMS sounds a lot better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
OK my sister's being stupid and won't give me her samsung dive password, burning swear to God you don't need. A connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igor 3:
Hy, did you find a solution, i was thinking to register to samsung dive but found out about this problem. Does somebody really neads to turn on data manually for it to work? Thats just plain useless. If i lost it somewhere who will enable it, or if somebody took it i have to pray for them to enable data, lol.

P.S. Im also on custom rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Yeah I use theft aware, but you can get it free with the avast antivirus app. It's controlled by texts, and it has a lot more features than dive, wipe protection, etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Avast anti-theft is really nice. I'm using it also, but it's still beta, and has some serious bugs sometimes.

So back to your original question, I think we can call it BUSTED. There's no way for Samsung to activate data connection on your phone if it's turned off manually :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igor 3:
Thx for answer. Cant believe that Samsung would make such a stupid mistake. At least give an option to activate it with sms or something if I cant with a PC. Will try avast anti-theft.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
First he/she has to unlock the screen, that is supposedly locked, with a pattern for example. Indeed, having Samsung Dive activated on the phone forces you to do so.

I think the best way should be the phone pattern locked for example, and set that after a number of unlocking failures (say 20) lock the phone so it can only be unlocked with your google's account (that you can change the password on any computer) or wipe data and sd.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreeStanler:
Also look at Android Lost
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Big flaw in Sammy ICS is you can simply go to accounts and delete the Samsung Account. Goodbye Samsung Dive. Doesn't even ask you for a password like it used to on GB before deleting account.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
It is supposed that the screen is locked. You can also go to gmail app and delete all email and the same to google drive. Of course if you start from the point of having the screen unlocked deleting samsung account is not the only concern. It happens that, if you want to encrypt the phone, it forces you to choose a custom password, even pattern is not allowed. Try to see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Good point ^^^ ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBaker:
EDIT: OP EDITED WITH CHANGED PTA SETTINGS UNDER APN TYPE!

After reviewing the GS2 thread on the same topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109983), I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss this issue on the Nexus. I was not able to get the Nexus connected using the information in that thread. However, I was able to get it connected to pta using a slightly modified version of the Skyrocket settings, which I'll post below.

One quick question before I do that, though -- I am only able to get 3 mb/s or so on my Nexus. I am on the unlimited data SOC code for LTE: LDPPVM5 -- think that code is causing any problems?

Anyway, here are working settings to get to PTA (the one the Skyrocket uses):

1) Go to settings, more (under networks), Access Point Names

2) Click on the 3 dots to create a new APN, name it AT&T PTA, and enter the following:

Name: ATT pta

APN: pta

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMS Proxy: not set

MMS port: not set

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: not set

APN type: default,internet,supl [NOTE NO SPACES IN THIS]

APN Protocol: IPv4

APN enable/disable: APN enabled

Bearer: Unspecified

3) Then separately create another new APN and enter the following:

Name: AT&T US MMS

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://www.mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: not set

APN type: mms

APN protocol: IPv4

APN enable/disable: APN enabled

Bearer: Unspecify

4) Make sure the little circle next to AT&T pta is green.

5) Wait for the device to connect and then restart it.

I had a hard time finding these settings, so I thought it might be helpful to someone else here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Parent/Teacher Association :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
No. Bad joke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Not to be too paranoid, but will messing with these settings make it appear you are, say, tethering? I don't want to lose my unlimited data on ATT and fear that changing anything to access faster speeds may flag me for using a computer?

Similar to when the Dolphin desktop mode was flagging people on ATT, prompting the carrier to accuse users of tethering...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watso4183:
I wasn't aware Galaxy Nexus had the proper radio for this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milan03:
Are you using AT&T's LTE provisioned SIM? that's probably why you're seeing the issue. Also that SoC code is LTE provisioned code which doesn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBaker:
I am using an AT&T LTE provisioned SIM and my SOC code is LTE, so that could be part of the problem. But also keep in mind, I had that done just in case AT&T ever started to refuse to upgrade unlimited data users to LTE unlimited data. Right now, they're eager to get the LTE towers full, so they won't stop such upgrades -- that may change in the future.

Anyway, I played with my settings for a long time tonight and realized that APN type needs to read "default,internet,supl", not just "default,supl". I have no idea what that means or why it matters, but when I changed that, my speeds definitely increased. To give a comparison, at 1 AM, I got the following speeds:

default wap.cingular APN -- 4-5 Mb for most test servers

phone APN (as described in the thread linked in the OP) -- Average of 5 Mb for most test servers and high of 6 Mb

pta APN (as described above) -- average of 7 Mb for most test servers and high of 8 Mb

The difference isn't exactly extreme, and it's far lower than I'd hoped for, but I think pta is demonstrably faster, at least in my area. I'm eager to see how it does during the work day tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
I just tried this in Saint Lous, MO and I get no data service with pta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBaker:
Are you sure this line was exact (with no spaces)? Without "default" there it won't get me data services either, but with it I do:

APN type: default,internet,supl
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrflips:
No data for me either, reverted back to the dault cingular apn...though the HSPA+ phone APN that is floating around these board damn near doubled my speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L_E_O:
Just curious... If the HSPA+ APN doubled your speed, then why go back to the default cingular settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oatterzonxda:
Im confused, why would the PTA apn do anything in the first place? i thought the i9250 version of the GNex isnt equiped with an LTE radio. Im in Los Angeles, CA where theres no LTE, i cant even get data with the PTA APN on my skyrocket. Unless I am mistaken and theres an LTE radio? id be so happy. Can anyone confirm? GSMARENA.COM list the specs for the i9250 with LTE 700mhz but other sites dont.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The 9250 doesn't have LTE. It's HSPA+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
It does not have LTE. It has HSPA+ (which AT&T and T-Mobile advertise as 4G). The poster here was saying he previously used a Galaxy S II Skyrocket (which is an AT&T LTE device) and because of that, his data plan is LTE and his SIM is an LTE SIM.

Anyway, I used the APN settings listed around this board and it doesn't seem to make a difference. When I used the settings posted, speedtest wouldn't work properly. It said I was getting 7kbps when it clearly wasn't that slow in real world usage. Going back to default fixed that issue, but I'm only getting about 3.5mbps down. I'd be happy to be getting 5. I already called AT&T and confirmed I've been changed over to an HSPA+ data SOC. Also, I got a new SIM card yesterday since my last one was from when I got my iPhone 3GS a couple years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
If you have an LTE SOC, you can use the LTE APN but the device doesn't support LTE. You might as well get the HSPA+ SOC and use the HSPA+ APN.

Using the latest AT&T LTE compatible SIM will not cause a problem. It is backward compatible with all AT&T plans. As for an incorrect SOC, well that's a different story and may have unpredictable results although a number of people have different SOCs/APNs working to their satisfaction.

Since a lot of people here think the LTE SIM is not compatible with HSPA/HSPA+, I am posting part of an official communique for "company owned" device users that went out just before the new LTE SIM was rolled out:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
my account is LTE provisioned too(came from skyrocket) and these are almost the exact settings I ended up with as well after messing around with them and comparing with other skyrockets and SG2.

i have not been using the "internet" in the "default,internet,supl" setting, I just had "default,supl".

i have added the internet to see if I see any changes. these are the fastest Ive been able to get my GN to perform at. still not as fast as my skyrocket was using h+, and the MMS take a while to send/recieve sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Confirm that after obtaining new SIM to replace my 3 year old one and provisioning with a Skyrocket IEMI with LTE unlimited data plan I now am regularly 5Mbps down and hit 7-8Mbps at times. Latency is around 130ms.

MMS not playing nice. I haven't tested send and receive enough to say it works for me or not. I'll check in the morning when texting.

updated: no mms :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebaul:
Have you tried using apn: phone? with the mms settings? Just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Yes. Thank you. I did do so. My calls to ATT level 2 tech support and then a Supervisor now claim my issue is related to provisioning. The sim is correctly provisioned as pta with APN type settings as default,internet,mms,supl. I am told my account settings as part of my customer profile does not correctly reflect my IEMI and therefore my MMS feature is wonked. Sounds like I am in the customer service black hole waiting for my service ticket to make it through helpless-desk hell. There is something to what I am being spun because my online account is all screwed up. I love smartphone gadgets and hate wireless carriers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebaul:
Ok, for the sake of argument, try this please and report back. I have a Vivid that I bought unsubs, therefore I didn't get it from at&t, but from Tigerdirect.com and I had to set my apn because I live in York, PA and there is no LTE here. I am able to send and receive mms and access internet at 6+ mbps and I didn't call at&t to report my new phone. Here are my APN settings:

I setup 2 apns, below are both:

APN1:

Name: AT&T HSPA+

(everything else leave blank until the end, which you will:)

APN type: default,admin,fota,hipri

APN2:

Name: AT&T MMS

APN: wap.cingular

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

APN type: mms

Those are my settings and again I can send and receive MMS and access internet. Ensure the radio is clicked on AT&T HSPA+

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
I assume your APN1 is set apn as phone. As such, I confirm it returns decent down speeds similar to pta. Ping test is around 300+ milliseconds where pta is around 100ms. MMS no go. I will play another round of ATT help desk liars poker tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablonyc2:
I got a slight increase in speed with these settings, but I did loose my MMS. Wierd how the MMS worked with no setting adjustments when I just popped my SIM card in using default settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndreaCristiano:
my speeds completely suck ever since she put my imei in im not breaking 3 down and 2 up wtf! I used to get 7 and 3 respectively
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daveop:
I have PTA working great, but I am also getting no MMS. Did anyone ever figure out a solution? Thread seems pretty wide open
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Anyone knows if there is a difference in size between the 2 batteries?

The AT&T one has the NFC chip built inside, so if it fits into regular I9100, we can use Google Wallet.

If you have the battery size/specs for each model, please post them here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Don't believe the i9100 has an nfc chip so having an nfc battery won't do much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
Pretty sure it's like the tmobile version and just the antenna is in the battery, not the actual chip.
