[Focus General] ctra35:
kinda the same problem

i have an att focus v.1.3 on 7.8 via general cab files unlcoked and using tmo usa. my story... i just moved from Louisiana (where i happily used only edge knowing that was all that was possible with my setup) to Wisconsin. well on the car ride to the airport i looked down at my phone around the houston area and to my surprise, it had a big fat 4g on there, which is shocking for 2 reasons, i didnt know the focus even supported 4g, and a tmo sim in an att phone getting something that wasnt edge, so i played for a bit and it worked flawlessly. (fastforward through the planes making me turn on airplane mode etc etc) now im in my new home, where the same phone almost always has 3g.... the problem being, data doesnt work at all when its on 3g, only edge or 4g. i dont understand why or how different data signals are working, but i need to fix this. the focus doesnt have a 3g toggle, just general data which kills everything, and ive tried who knows how many things ive tried to make the 3g work(when its showing i have it.). i tried whats posted in this thread, i factory reset, plugged into zune, i have both network profile and my normal data (in settings) set to auto(ive tried every combination). and even a few things via diagnostics. any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Focus General] imrananis:
well mine 3g working fine
[Focus General] ctra35:
thank you very much for your input, it was very helpful -_-

Hello guys

I recently installed Windows Phone 7.8 Custom ROM. Experiencing frequent disconnection of the 3G data connection. I am sure that the problem is not from the network side as my friend using the same network on a iPhone has no issues.

Any suggestions?
[Focus General] skathed:
Same issue here. Phone was fine on stock rom. Just put dynamic on my focus 1.3 and now 3g seems to show as connected but no data can be used. fine on Wifi...

how to use terminal emulator on ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZN6:
download terminal emulator in android market
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
Install it: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

Run it.

Optional: learn shell commands if you don't know.

If you are using CM, I'd make sure I run bash rather than the default shell, and customise it via sourcing my customisation scripts from /ext/bash/bashrc
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] de.rach29:
Example shell command?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
looking at this comment of yours i would recommend you to not install emulator right now... get some knowledge about commands and then use as you can do anything to your phone using shell commands
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
echo "Hello World, we should read a tutorial on the command line"

... link to learn terminal emulator for android?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dragonnn:
Install Linux on you desktop and learn to use it. Terminal in Android is exactly the same that in Linux.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
Mind telling its a clone :D xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php

Note if you are a windows users, install cygwin or ubuntu via wubi and play there. I also suggest to try and install adb, the adb shell is much nicer way to use the shell on your phone than terminal emulator, it uses your computer keyboard / clipboard to control shell very nicely!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neph81:
Ok, this will be a bit of a technical thread, so bear with me. This is so people have an understanding of how to find and look at the update files that get put on a phone. If you are reading thru this, I will assume that you have a basic understanding of ADB and possibly of shell commands like ls and cd

When you go into settings -> About Phone - Software update, your phone does many checks to the file system. One of them is at a file /data/fota/ipth-muc.prop . Most people do not know this directory exists as when you are in ADB you can not do a list command on the /data directory without root. This file is re-created each time you boot your phone. If we do the following command, we can dowload the file to our computer:

ADB pull /data/fota/ipth-muc.prop

If we open the file, it will look a lot like this.

firmware.version=VS920ZV3

max.pkg.size=157286400

This file can also contain additional data. The string we want to add in there is where to download and place update packages. This can be defined as such:

pkg.location=

If this line does not exist, it will default to /cache/fota . Being as we can not cd into /cache or pull/push files there, this is a bad spot to put it. How ever, we can make directories and read/write to them under /data/local . Using this info we can do the following.

ADB shell

mkdir /data/local/temp

exit

From there, we can edit the original ipth-muc.prop file we pulled to look like this:

firmware.version=VS920ZV3

max.pkg.size=157286400

pkg.location=/data/local/temp

If you edit the file, use a true file editor. Notepad will not save it correctly, but Wordpad had no issues. From there we do the following

ADB push ipth-muc.prop /data/fota

Now when we do the update, it will place the downloaded files into our temp directory (note, you must do this after the phone is fully booted, but before you have the phone look for an update). Once the files are done downloading, click remind me later. Then we can go into ADB and pull the files.

ADB pull /data/local/temp

You will get two files. One will be the update "ipth_package.bin" and the manifest files "ipth_package.bin.dd" . The manifest file also contains the link to the original file name as link to it on the host server. The ipth_package.bin file is a simple zip file that can be opened with almost any archiving program.

The zip is signed by LG using their personal key, so modifying it and pushing it back to the phone is not currently possible. We can however see the contents of an update and see what is being change. I hope to use this in the near future to either break the LG key or find a way to find a glitch in a patch being done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkandnavi:
Hi guys,

Having to post here because I haven't reached the 10 message minimum and so can't post in the development thread.

I've just flashed Revolution HD 7.0.0 and my phone has now been stuck in a bootloop for the past 30 minutes. Any idea what to do?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uros0104:
Wipe/format everything except SD card and flash again...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkandnavi:
Thanks for the help. All up and running now
[LG Optimus 2x] ming436534:
Ahh.... I spend a long time and still couldn't find the player.....:(

so please guys..... I need your help!!:o
[LG Optimus 2x] reverendhtc:
I use music mod from app market. Looks like stock with a few extras.
[LG Optimus 2x] ming436534:
Thx for your advice! I got the player by flashing roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cropythy:
Why are all of the sudden so many roms getting "deved" thanks to the flashaholics tool? Maybe it is just me, but I don't see the point in creating these threads when the flashaholics tool already has a thread and is super simple to use. I am just tired of people almost passing themselves as developers when all they have done is used an amazing tool given to us by ktoonsez.

Maybe I am the only one, but I am tired of these suedo-devs that have popped up this week. Ultimately running a hellraising utility on I-9100 roms does not deserve a new thread everytime it happens in my book and it is rather annoying to see all these threads popping up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
I assume that all of the threads that used flashaholics gave credit to the original rom developer and ktoonsez? If so of isn't a problem with me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bethrezen1453:
As long as they give the proper credits to devs, i dont see any problem sharing hellraised roms.

This community is based on sharing, let them share the way they want to. In the end its better than nothing :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I agree, but it lessens the effort put forth by real devs. It took me nearly 20 solid hours of work to make my first ROM. I just think we should have a thread dedicated to "hellraised" ROMs and not clog up the dev forum where real ROMs should shine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
This is something that cropped up in the Infuse forums too, however it took a LOT longer for it to happen here than over there.

I think we may need to move to an approach like the I9100 forums - "original" development, and development.

The difference:

Hellraising another ROM that was not created by you is not by any means "original" - for the convenience of users it makes sense to offer these pre-integrated experiences, however, I think that these should be separated from actual original development, where the person releasing the ROM has started from a stock firmware base (whether I9100 or I777 stock firmware) and made their own modifications.

e.g.:

An I9100 firmware author Hellraises and releases here - they are the original developer of the firmware, so it is "original" even if it might not have met the I9100 forums' criteria of "original"

Someone deodexes and modifies a stock firmware - that's "original"

Someone Hellraises another person's firmware from the I9100 forums - not by any means "original"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Like that idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rdannar:
They should all put something in title that says flashaholic tool.. Some did that already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i'm on the fence about this.

On one hand, those threads are not necessary because I can use the flashaholics tool myself to flash those ROMs. On the other hand, that work is already done and it makes it that much easier to flash (this is mainly good for the newbs that dont feel comfortable using those tools and also good for the lazy people that know how to use the tool but dont feel like doing it themselves). As long as the OP gives the proper credit, I dont see a problem with it.

Those threads also create a place to talk about bugs related to the i777 however its not like anyone can fix them because the original dev is not monitoring that thread.

i'm not sure if a separate section for "original development" is really necessary but I can see why it might help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cropythy:
I really like this idea, it addresses my real concern of these hellraised threads clogging up actual dev space, as well as making it more obvious that the OP wasn't directly involved in development for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
This is kind of how I feel about it. As others stated, I don't have a major problem when proper credit is given. In part, I don't like the idea of a hellraised rom justifying a new thread, but on the other hand, it exposes me to a rom I might not have seen otherwise.

I think it would be better if there was a subforum for hellraised roms and nonoriginal work (i.e. the script threads or mod ports), and actual development (the OP is the actual creator of what's being shared).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Dont worry Guys, this is being delt with as we speak. All Hellraised and Flashaholic roms will be collected in one thread instead of having multiple threads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Great move.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
At least most of them don't have a donate link...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
This is the i777 forum. I dont see the need to have 14 i9100 hellraised threads. Its a good idea to have these hellraised roms so people can flash and try them, but we think its best to have them in one place instead of cluttering up the Dev forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Best. Moderator. Ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
thanks Red!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
I like Entropys idea. Better to have a sub forum. Not throw em all in one thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cropythy:
That completely addresses the reason I opened this thread, thank you and please close this thread since there is no longer a need for it to be open since you are already dealing with the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
While this works well for the i9100 guys, we wont/dont have that many hellraised roms to warrant its own forum. The reason it works so well in the i9100 forums is because they have a lot going for original development (people creating/tweaking/maximizing firmwares) and the general development. Here we wont have too much going on once those roms are hellraised because they are already tweaked to begin with... so instead of having a separate forum, a single thread is going to be created to house all of the hellraised roms and then issues/questions can be asked/answered in that thread.

Also, I dont like the idea of having a separate i9100 forum under the i777 forum. For that matter, they can go post in the original i9100 thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
I'm curious how you would keep that "hellraised roms" thread organized? Would you dedicate one person to update the first post for each new hellraised rom? Scanning through pages and pages, is not really ideal if you want to find a download link......just curious.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
My wife's Infuse was running Serendipity VII. She was having some minor problems with it (such as the camera's flash not working consistently) and some apps crashing. So we decided to go with Zeus. Then the problems really started pouring on.

I flashed Zeus without doing a factory reset. I just wiped the cache partition and the Davlik cache. It was OK for a day or two, then it started misbehaving. More crashes, sluggish, when she sent a text message she'd get a "Message not sent" error (so she'd keep trying until she didn't get the error, meanwhile every attempt was actually being sent so people were getting her texts multiple times), Mobile AP would turn itself off (we do pay for the Mobile AP plan with AT&T).

So I did a factory reset/wipe user data, wiped the cache areas, and re-flashed Zeus. Restored everything with Titanium Backup. No change in behavior.

So, I used Odin to flash back to stock UCKD5 (using this). Things were OK for a day or so except that the time was displaying UTC time instead of local time. (I started another thread about that.) Then, the mobile AP started shutting off again, now with a message saying we don't have a Mobile AP plan. But we do. I flashed a new modem (UCKL2) last night hoping that would clear up both issues. It fixed the time problem, but Mobile AP is still saying we don't have a plan. And now she's also getting the "message not sent" error again when sending text messages (although the messages ARE being sent).

Any ideas on what the heck happened and what I could do to get her going again? Using the "Mobile AP" is essential as it is our only home internet connection (no cable or DSL available and we ditched satellite a few months back) and our kids are enrolled in an online school.

Would flashing another ROM clear things up? Maybe try stock again with the "ultimate unbrick" package or the Heimdall one? Or maybe try Zeus again? Or CatyRom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
I reflashed to stock again using ultimate unbrick. (Wiped cache, factory reset, Odin to stock.) Mobile AP gave same errors. Texting seemed fine, but with Mobile AP not working I didn't test it long. Flashed Zeus again (Rooted, installed CWM, wiped cache, factory reset, formatted internal SD, installed the Zeus zip, rebooted and waited about 15 minutes before touching it.)

Mobile AP is fine (for now anyway) but texting is flaky. Some texts go through, but most don't. She just gets an error saying "Message not sent."

Any ideas out there???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Idk..maybe you need and apn change.

Go to settings. Wireless. Apn.

Menu to bring up 2 stock apn.

create a new one. it's around..check my sigs line. After you write it in, menu and save. Select the new apn.

Reboot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
Found the APN info in the first link. Thanks! Does the name matter? I noticed it is "AT&T WAP" on my Captivate but "AT&T 310 410" on her Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
no..you can call it what you want.

HeathicusF's 310 410

but just for s&g's, I would call it "AT&T 310 410"

Did it fix your issue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
I haven't made any APN changes yet. She uninstalled GoSMS (which had been restored with TiBu) and reinstalled it from the market. That was a "grasping at straws" solution since the problem was happening in both GoSMS and he stock SMS application. So far, no problems. But there have been other little spans of time with no problems then it would start acting up again. So I'm just keeping an eye on it right now. There are some differences between her APN settings and the ones listed, but I don't want to change anything if it really is working now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
OK she has narrowed it down to a problem with long text messages. Anything over 160 characters will fail. That is why she thought it was flaky and working for a while each time we made a change. She'd send a lot of short "testing" type messages, which would go through and she would think everything was good. Then eventually she would write a long "real" message and it would fail and she would think the problem had "returned". Not having any problems like that before, she never associated the problem with the message length.

Based on some quick research, I think that is a modem problem.

If we can fix this issue, she'll be all good again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
lol..click on my sigs -link #1. Read post #2. ;)

it has to do with a modem ucki3. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HeathicusF:
She has UCKL2.

EDIT: I misunderstood and thought you were saying the problem was with the UCKI3 modem. Should have looked at that post you pointed me to first. I see now that UCKL2 is the problem and UCKI3 is the solution.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
:D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvo01:
In first - sorry for my english :-( so I hope you understand me.

My question is - WHY? Why is problem making one working base of ICS all together.. why is need any "permission to use" (shaky?) (i know, in this time this is not yet writed in your thread..i think). It´s same as in Linux community. ? 100devs, 100 releases? :(

I´m only user, but when I see this, it´s make me sad.

You all makes very good job in your ROMs. I hope that you fix all remains problems (data, wifi, camera, etc..)

Ehm.. this is only my personal question, if you won´t answer, it will be OK.

For all: good luck!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahiriqbal:
Good luck with replies ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FurryCup:
@danvo01 If you own a "tin hat" I would put it on now. :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
So this question is for shaky??

You can't compare building from source code and porting a leaked, already compiled rom from another device

Sent from my ICS!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Move your thread to Q&A. And stop asking questions, in DEV section lol, as something like this will force the moderator to do some work.

MOD EDIT: Fixed
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvo01:
@djolebih:

you don´t understand me. this question is to devs. One has "permission...." another afraid that someone tell - it´s his stolen work.. But - all use leaked versions (i think those with Sense) So I think better is COOPERATION. This is what I want. COOPERATION, not answers why not.

@LorD ClockaN: I think, versions with Sense are all leaked. My question is primarily to Shaky, but all. Devs which building ROMS from source code are OK. Specially my congrats to your work, LorD Clockan!!

@ Furrycup: this really doesnt need comment. you absolute don´t understand my question.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Dude it's a question and it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with developing since there is NOTHING useful in your post for developers or developing in general. I'm giving you a friendly advice before mods see the thread and ban you from posting anywhere. Stop trolling.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Phone:
Cooperation, so to speak, is a tremendously hard concept to implement ANYWHERE, with any project. Now, I'm not saying No one is going to cooperate with one another, but everyone has their OWN ideas that they want to do with a project.

It will take ten times as long if everyone got together and wanted to implement every single one of their ideas into every single build. Not only length of time, the SIZE of each build would more than likely be enormous.

The devs here know that if they need help, they can ask each other. I'm assuming they all know that. But they all want to do their own work, and implement their own ideas, each bringing their own ROM to the public.

Hopefully this helps.

P.S.- Post in the Q&A Forum ;)

EDIT: @djolebih He's not trolling. He didn't know. Chill out on him, I guarantee that when YOU started out, whether it be on XDA or some other forum, that YOU were a noob and had no idea what to do or where to post. Cut him some slack. I'm pretty sure it doesn't say "Forum Moderator" under your name, so leave that to the real moderators.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
First and foremost, this is a question. Please create all question threads in the Q&A section. Q&A stands for Questions & Answers (incase you didn't know ;))

Second, I understand your question. Basically "Why can't we all share without restriction?"

See the thing is, we should. XDA was based on sharing, ideas initially, then things progressed with technology to where we are today. We have "competing" development teams, which is no bad thing.

What these developers & teams want is recognition of their efforts, that is all. They spend days tweaking this, fixing that & testing. They then upload their "work" to share with the community.

What they don't want is for another "dev" or "team" to come along and take the work and rebrand it as their own. Something which can be done in an hour or so.

Some are happy for you to use their "work" just as long as you ask them first. It is common courtesy to ask to use something before you use it. That applies to almost everything in life. "If it ain't yours, ask".

Now you highlight Shaky156 as an example, but you fail to give a balanced picture.

Where in Shaky156's post does it say (I'll even use his trademark RED)

?

It doesn't, he did state that. "You could not use it without permission." or words to that effect. Again common courtesy.

I hope I've explained things a little for you, and not taught the majority to "suck eggs" as it were.

Feel free to respond, just do so in a calm and thought out manner, no-one wants to argue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvo01:
thanks :-)

..thank for your answer... This is reply to my question. Really thanks. I understand that every one has his own ideas. For this I wrote "working base" in my question. Base only. More devs, more power, faster fixes. And all over it can be his own work.

PS: your PS to djolebih I don´t undestand so I will translate it, but I think you are right :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvo01:
@andyharney: uff this is too much english to me :-( I will translate.. but:

in my question I wrote "working base" you know? BASE only. I accept their hard work. Really. But for base- as i said: more devs, more power, faster fixes..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I know you said base. But if that base was from a RUU from another device, a device that had different specs and needed to be resized. To even get it to a "base" state for our or any other device still takes a lot of work.

If your simply cooking from a stock HTC RUU then no real development is needed. Just theming & tweaking.
