Dear Members,

I'm having a problem with my phone network. When I enter the network setting, an error "Insert SIM card to access network services" came up although the sim card is inserted.

My idea is to flash the correct modem. Therefore I request if any of the forum members have all the modem's list so I can try each of them. I've tried several stock roms but still no luck. Or does anybody knows how to fix the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
As I have heard, that's a imei (in the efs folder) problem. Just run Galaxy S Unlockr, which is in the market and it will fix it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] daredevil07:
thanx for the help mate but it doesn't work. i've checked my network lock is OFF. also no problem with emei. can anybody help? :(

I experience and read of the unreliable and slow blinking LED notification light.

In my case, it will work about 50% of the time. I am hoping somebody in this community is looking it over.

It would be nice if were more reliable and at least blink faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbnaruto:
What application do you use to manage your notification light colors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow

^ Install that. It takes a bit to customize just how you want it, but it runs flawlessly.

There's a free version floating around on the market, but it's well worth the $1-2 or whatever it is now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbnaruto:
Yep, this is what I use and it works very well. Set the blink rate to very fast (very nice rate), ans buy the full version, as you can set lights for social apps too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
I was looking at light flow but holy cow the permissions it wants gives me pause.

Is all that necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjones1052:
Well, if others are saying they've used it for a bit it's likely ok. But I would assume it needs all the extra permissions because it needs to collect data from them to light the LED. Can't light the LED on a new SMS if you don't know there is a new SMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grillrd:
Aokp has led customization built into the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Thanks! AMAZINGLY - - !

Poor poor me cannot find a dark theme where they show screen shots of the messaging apps. They all seem to show every possible screen but those.

I am looking for reversed messaging app skins. white/gray/red (I don't care) text with BLACK backgrounds.

I do surveillance work. I need this.

And none of us want to break the law and text or read a message while driving but why wave a flag!

Thanks,

I'll be digging in and report back soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clarkkent434:
I have lightflow too it work good on the stock Verizon with free and paid version. But I have tried AOKP no luck. The MODAC rom has special script to work with trackball alert app led notifications. I wish app light flow would have support scripts.

Sent from my Droid Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb02:
Adrynalyne's Wookie ROM has increased notification light speed built in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PolishPauL11:
I use LightFlow also, but I have the blink rate set to Always On. According to the developer, this saves battery because code has to run every time it blinks. Not sure if this applies to the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clarkkent434:
I will give it a try.

I had the 'sleep of death' testing out liteflow... I made the I assume mistake of enabling that 'other' LED that it detected as well. I had to redo my phone after that..
[HTC EVO 3D] SupermanTW:
Would it be possible to use the contact and dialer from an AOSP rom on a sense rom. I tried using the ones from CM7 and am having some issues.

Edit: I figured it out and have AOSP contacts and dialer now working on a Sense 3.0 Rom incase anyone wants it!
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Not saying I particularly want it but why offer it but share no information on how to do it?
[HTC EVO 3D] SupermanTW:
I did it that way because I didn't make the mod. The thread started out because I was having issues getting the AOSP contacts and dialer to work on my phone, so I was looking for help. After I figured it out I thought I would see if anyone was intreasted in this mod and I can send them the file or explain how they can get them. I used the contacts from CM7 which includes the dialer. If you use the dialer.apk from CM7 it will break your phone, Kills signal / service. I have the contacts pulled from that Rom if anyone wants it. I take no credit for it in any way.
[HTC EVO 3D] markdexter:
im Interested!!! Hate the Rosie Dialer!!

I have a Rogers GSm version, dont know if that would affect anything
[HTC EVO 3D] SupermanTW:
Here is the contacts apk. It is NOT flashable through recovery. Install using a file manager (like Astro) I did not create this so I take no credit for this. This came from CM7.

www.megaupload.com/?d=3TH41J6O
[HTC EVO 3D] secondskin:
This is interesting. Many people including myself have wanted to have the option to integrate the aosp dialer/ contacts into a sense based rom since the good old Hero days but based on the way the two are integrated into Sense roms as a whole, this has never been possible.

I can't remember the technical reasons why, only that many concluded it wasn't much of a possibilty.

Anyway, if anyone else can confirm that we can now have these features integrated into Sense as the op states, that would be awedome.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
There are a few issues with using the ASOP contacts with a sense rom. For instance joining contacts will cause a FC. I run a customized rom with as much sense removed as possible. To achieve this I have modified the ASOP contacts to work better on sense. I've never released the modified contacts because I don't have time to support it. The features I use work fine now (for instance the join fc is fixed) ; however, I'm sure there are other issues and at the moment I have no time to resolve anything found.

If people are willing to live with what you get is what you get I can post my modified contacts tonight after work.

HtcDialer still needs to be installed. I can also post a version of this modded to hide the icon from the app drawer and to stop it from being used for certain functions (a convenience feature so I don't have to select the ASOP contacts as the default)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sp4rkR4t:
So I've been following the bootloader unlock instructions on the Sony-Ericsson site and when I have plugged the phone in and the instructions say it should ask me for drivers it just plays the driver install failed noise, so in device manager I have the S1Boot Fastboot listed but when I point the driver update wizard to the adb folder where the driver is it just says it cannot find it. Anyone had an issue like this or knows how to fix it or have I done something completely idiotic because it's 6am and I haven't slept for 2 days?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jurgen24:
you need the google usb drivers (android sdk) good luck !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sp4rkR4t:
Yeah I got past this bit and have the phone unlocked now but during the proccess my camera, lockscreen and a couple of other bits have stopped working and I can't simply revert back to the original software as sony's tool won't allow that. Also can't find a clockworkmod recovery image for the device so have no clue how to put the cyanogenmod nightly that's out on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] del1701:
Can't you use flashtool to flash a stock rom ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sp4rkR4t:
Yup, all recovered now.

It would be much better if this most essential of sites for people mucking around with there android phones had a section for the Xperia Pro, there are already plenty of threads for the device but they are spread over every other Sony section and makes finding the thread that will help quite difficult.
[HTC EVO 3D] faugnom1:
I just got my replacement digitizer and LCD screen. Installed everything according to the guide in our forum. Screen works fine except now I think something may be wrong with my mic. Does anyone know which connector is for our microphone. I just double checked all the connections and they seem to be in correctly. I dont know what else to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
If your rooted, perform a full wipe and flash a different rom. If you are not rooted or have already tried that, call sprint and get another.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
Yea now that u replaced the digitized take it to Sprint they can't say there is cosmetic damage anymore have them fix it
[HTC EVO 3D] Czechman_007:
Well, and what to do in this case when there is no Sprint in Europe ? How can this issue be fixed ? Thanx a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] ogrillion:
Not sure if this is helpful or not - but this person on another forum was complaining that he took his phone to sprint and they replaced his digitizer. After he left the store he called people and they couldn't hear him talk - something about his mic not working after sprint repaired it.

He ended up getting a new phone from sprint which in your case doesn't help. However maybe while replacing the screen you accidentally hit the microphone or something? Maybe since sprint did it also, its an easy thing to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
you just unplugged the wire to the mic. lol or the connection isn't solid. btw, THIS THREAD WAS FROM LAST YEAR! lmao! but good job on searching. hahaha. but open it up and look for the mic and plug it back in? OR DO WHAT I DO, USE BLUETOOTH! I personally have a SOUND ID 6 SERIES! IT WORKS GREAT! best on the market! well, kindof anyway! lol. they were stupid and only put 2.1 bluetooth on it instead of 3.0 or 4.0. they were playing stupid. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smackdownn:
As soon as I take a picture it becomes darker than it's before taking snapshot..is it some bug or do I have to edit some setting to get normal quality?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GallardosEggrollShop:
I noticed this as well. Coming from the Infuse which didn't have this issue I'm beggining to suspect it has something to do with the actual camera application.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcer:
i think that's normal behaviour for a camera witch supports maximum iso set to 800.

In low light condition, a dslr camera will normally use iso within 1600-3200 or even more, to assure that 'what you see is what you get'.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] randomstranger99:
Try using 'Camera360 Ultimate' (free in the Market) and see if you get lighter images. I don't think it's the hardware/ROM, I think it's just the default camera app which is causing this issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Technoholik:
Even I am having this problem on my Note. The photos lack brightness :( This problem was not there on my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smackdownn:
ya i tried my brothers s2 and it didnt have any problems like this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lipsin:
Actually it make sense for camera to set lower exposure. Over exposed photo loses more details than under exposed photos. You can always use apps to increase the exposure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Technoholik:
Tried Camera 360 with default settings. No difference.

Then using the stock app, I tried taking a snap without flash and it turned out brighter!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
Oh ofcourse you shouldn't be using flash. I generally keep the flash off for still photos.

The best way to take good photos indoors is to change the following settings:

Settings > Scene Mode > Night

Settings > Exposure Value > +2 (If Required)

Keep your hands & the subject steady.

I always use the above settings & never use flash for stills. Use Flash only for Video Recordings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Technoholik:
Thanks.. Will try it out and update.. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
It seems that the camera app shoots your screen brightness to 100% inside the camera app while taking the picture.

After you take the picture, the screen drops down to your normal brightness setting (for me quite dim), and the picture looks really dark.

Try setting your brightness to 100% before shooting and you'll see what I mean.

That worked Chod..I was banging my head on the wall last night. I thought it might have been a kernel issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shigga:
I'm coming from a 4s and don't have lte on my plan. Do I have to get a new sim to access it? I ask because I can't connect to the pta apn I had to put in the wap.cingular apn in he settings.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Yes, you do need a new SIM; at least I did. I was using an old AT&T 3G SIM from back in the day, and they threw in the new one for free and claimed that I needed it. I wasn't complaining.

There is no LTE-specific data plan. If you're on a data plan now, you'll get LTE. They have yet to introduce that sort of pricing, but I fear that they will. Hence why I jumped for an LTE phone now, even though I don't live in a LTE-heavy market.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
actually, mine had to be provisioned for LTE. it IS a separate provision.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
Soooo true if you look at the plans online you will see regular then LTE plans
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I bought my Vivid on launch, and they said that my phone would work on LTE and that I'd be grandfathered in on my current plan which would still support LTE. I'll fight them for it if otherwise, if they want to ramp up my charges.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
there are actually 4 things you need to use LTE, first the SIM, it has to have the digits 25 in the 9th and 10th spot, second, you need an LTE device, 3rd, you need a LTE data plan, as you need the pta, APN to access the PGW, and 4th, be in an LTE area. however, even if you are not in LTE, you still need the data plan as you connect with PTA to the PGW, not the GGSN.

i'm using a iPhone SIM in an adaptor, as long as it has the digits 25 in the 9 and 10th spot, your good.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
yeah, you get to keep your unlimited, but they had to provision it for LTE ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I think I have all of those things, minus the LTE area. I'm using the PTA APN, so I'm presuming that its good...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brau0303:
That is correct, you will need the above noted items, I came from an Inspire (4G Device but was still told I had to have a newer LTE sim) and the LTE provisioning looks identical but has "LTE" as part of the plan name, two things to make note of,

1. if you don't have the PTE provisioning your data will not work, but you can add a new APN to connect to the non lte 2/3/4g data networks.

2. if you have the provisioning done anytime other than your billing cycle day one you may get some prorated fees.

**I also find the non LTE apn useful if your market area is not LTE yet, the phone will auto default to legacy 4G (Technically 3.5G) but you can save a bit of battery buy not having the radio even looking for it

I just wanted to throw that out there so people would be aware.

Cheers

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Did not know I would have to have the put me on an LTE plan. Actually that doesn't make any sense to me at all - same prices, etc. - but whatever. I guess I'll be contacting them soon, after my LTE SIM comes in!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brau0303:
It's likely more like resource management, when they roll out LTE in an area the users provisioned for LTE will have that as their preferred network and help reduce the number of users on the oversubscribed existing 2/3/4G networks since there are usually multiple wireless data networks in a given area. That's one reason Carriers need additional woreless spectrum to implement new technologies/networks.

Cheers

BR
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Good point. It'll probably be awhile before LTE is in our area - it took forever to get 3G here - but I see your point. I'll have them switch me to the LTE plan when I get my SIM and have to contact them anyway.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Huh, turns out that I've been provisioned for LTE all along; my agent must have just done it for me silently. You guys got me all worried!

When I thought you said LTE data plan, I thought you meant like a "Pay extra for LTE" plan, and I was WTFing at the thought, because I knew I wasn't paying more.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brau0303:
I can only comment on what AT&T seems to do, They should automatically provision you when one of the current LTE phones is purchased. Im my case it did not take at first and I had problems with data, I looked at my account online and noticed that it did not have the LTE provisioning, got that and all was well.

Cheers

BR
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shigga:
I actually went today and had to get a new sim provisioned for lte. I can now connect using the PTA apn. They also switched me on the unlimited lte plan. I have 10238976mb available to use on my unlimited plan now. I'm guessing I won't go over that amount.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Nothing like that capped "unlimited" huh? :rolleyes:

LTE APN vs Older APN

gey gys just wanted to share my data results. when connected to the new PTA APN it seems crippled (3mbps) however when reverting back to the older APN settings (3.5g) I am getting 10+mbps... ODD
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Some people are having issues with the PTA apn and have had to revert.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hiimjasonkolp:
think I got it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Seems a bit slow for LTE; you're talking about HSPA+, right? LTE should have a far higher upload.

Which APN are you using, phone or pta?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
As Aus stated that seems to be to slow to be LTE. Typically LTE is above 20.

Check this box to see what network your on using speedtest.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
OK, quick question I just thought of. I'm coming from the Captivate and my old 3G SIM, which is in my Vivid right now with that APN setup so I can get data until my new LTE SIM arrives. Here's the question... let's say at some point I decide to use the Captivate again, whether just for a day or two or for an extended time. Will the LTE SIM work in the Captivate with the 'old' APN settings it has or will it not work at all?

Because there are times I switch my SIM between different devices, I hope that it will BUT I am not going to make that assumption - so here I am, asking you all who hopefully know.

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Yes, it will.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hiimjasonkolp:
using PTA now I get much higher when tethered usb and wifi both up to 27mbps but on the phone itself it seems to stay around 12-17... wish I could lock it on LTE only but it will not let me select that option, anyone know why?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] seattleboi1982:
yes, your line will be provisioned with the following APN's when you get a 4G LTE data plan:

Phone

wap.cingular

visual voicemail

PTA

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

yes, because your phone has to drop back to 3G to make a circuit switched call, (CSFB), the VoIP standard for LTE hasn't been decided on and CSFB is a stepping stone while that is being finalized.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
OK, thank you both! I received the SIM yesterday but got home late last night so I contacted them and had them activate this SIM and change my plan to LTE. Oh, and also add Visual Voicemail.

So is it correct that I can switch the APN to the 'old' 3G one when I am in an area I know does not have LTE and it will save battery? Will it work properly and not show anything weird to them on their system end?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:

HTC X710a with LTE

Hey guys, I'm using the HTC Raider 4G from Bell in Canada on AT&T

I have a MEdiaNet/Non-smartphone unlimited plan that costs $10 a month.

I have entered the wap.cingular APN because the pta APN doesn't work for me.

I bought an LTE SIM and had it activated, but I don't get LTE in NYC.

Is this because my account isn't provisioned for LTE and thus, I need to move onto a legitimate Smartphone plan to use LTE?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
yes you will need the pta APN and you will need to be on the smartphone LTE data plan
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 320-destroyer:

Okay, thanks.

Please help with LTE APN settings?

Hi all, I am very frustrated and need some guidance, please...New Vivid, have unlimited data plan....obtained a new LTE capable SIM....But, phone APN settings are locked and says PTA....this won't allow any data connection as I am outside of a LTE area right now....

So, I added a wap.cingular APN and I can pick up data now....but what do I do when I get to an LTE area?

Do I have to switch back to the PTA APN? Why wouldn't this APN that came preset work with 2g, 3G, Hspa, and hook to LTE when I get in a LTE market....?

Is it normal to have to manually add a APN setting that allows for data connection outside an LTE area.....with only a handful of LTE markets, this seems incorrect?

Any advice?

is ther done APN setting that I can input that will give me LTE when I am in an LTE market and revert to 3G and HSPA when I am in that type of market?

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
I would check with att I am in a non lte area and have the apn you are talking about and am not having any problems
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Sounds like they just forgot to provision you for LTE even though they upgraded your SIM. Go on your online ATT profile on the site, and check your data plan. It should say something along the lines of "Unlimited with LTE". If it didn't, your phone will not be allowed to connect over pta.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
I can confirm and want to thank all as I came from a GS II i9100...and had the older SIM...I had to add another APN to make the Vivid work and get any data....

I had to get a new SIM, Call ATT and have them add the LTE to my already unlimited data plan....now I can use the PTA APN setting and will confirm when I get back to Atlanta that it Picks up LTE...

Just a note....I actually had a very pleasant and helpful experience on the phone with tech support....very surprising....

What worked for me temporarily...before i called AT&T and got my new SIM.....

Added another APN, it will pick up 2g,3G, HSPA+...but no LTE....

Name: wap.cingular

APN: wap.cingular

user name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

I left all other fields as....not set.....

Now, I already had a unlimited data plan, just not provisioned or tagged "LTE"....

If you are in an area not yet getting LTE, the above could be an option.....

again, this worked for me, I make no guarantees it will work for all...!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camit34:
The above worked perfect for me - I am not in an LTE area and just trying to play around with my iPhone 4 sim in an adapter... Thanks!
