Thanks for looking into it! Pharoah, you know I love you, but that don't quite address the issue exactly.

If you're on Simple Mobile, just selecting the Simple APN won't work. You actually have to go into the APN settings and change stuff. Simple is an MVNO on the T-Mobile network. They are basically making a living off former T-Mo US customers who due to the bad economy can't afford T-Mo anymore. They sell SIM cards not phones. You bring your own phone. Consequently, as vultures, they don't quite take their customers' interests as their highest priority.

The Simple APN is incomplete and does not actually work for Simple Mobile 4G customers. That's what y'all non Simple folks don't understand.

If you put a Simple Mobile SIM card into your G2x, you get 2 APNs: "Simple" and "T-Mobile US". As I said, Simple is an MVNO on the T-Mobile network. The Simple APN does not include all the settings in the T-Mo US APN, which are necessary to make the mobile data functions work. But here's the kicker: the T-Mo US settings you would need to put into the Simple APN are encrypted within the T-Mo US APN settings, so you can't just discover what they are and then transpose them. That's why I said to folks in my guide, use the T-Mobile US APN and delete the Simple one.

But, if you can't actually get into the internal APN settings and edit them, guess what? You can't adjust them. Therefore, 1.4 is unusable for Simple Mobile users.

@ Hell:

You know I love you, my brother [no homo]. You are, hands down the BRIGHTEST AND BEST G2x developer on XDA--if not THE WORLD! I mean that!

Having said that, I ask again: WHY can't we edit our APN settings in 1.4, when we could in 1.3?

Does anybody have freezing issues while using this ROM? Not to say it's this ROM that's causing it, but I guess freezing issues in general. I'm pretty sure I had the issues before this ROM. I've searched and seen different discussions about it, but I haven't seen a fix from what I can remember. I'll set my alarm for a certain time in the morning and it won't go off because my damn phone has frozen. It just stays at a black screen and when I hit the button to turn the screen on, it doesn't come on.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Great Rom Hell! You rock!

Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue-almost every time I get an incoming call and I pick up my phone stops ringing and then it start ringing again for a bit and then it shows that I picked up and the timer of the call start at the top right corner. Is anyone else having this issue? I've been having it since the very first Hellfire Sandwich.

Thanks for everything you do to bring this awesome ROM to the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Thanks for replying. I use the kernel that comes with your rom and yes, I did a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, then g2xscrubber).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I conformed this yesterday. There's also a lag when hanging up sometimes.

As a work around why don't you make a new apn? My apns are locked as well but I can make new ones still. This would be the same as editing the existing one with just a few more steps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I get lag when answering a phone call. I'll slide the button over to answer, then the screen will keep vibrating and ringing for about 3 seconds. Then finally the phone picks up the call. It's annoying if you really need to answer the phone.

Anyone know if v6 or v8 supercharger work with 1.4? I am using script manager which has root access and trying to run v6 and I get a message "access denied.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Ah, only one wipe? I'm serious. Wipe at least twice with the scrubber, and since wiping cache via script is bugged (the partition is in use by CWM), manually format /cache twice as well. I don't usually have the time for voice calls so when I do talk, it's usually only for a few minutes. If this is happening to anyone else, please report it.

Was in such a rush yesterday and didn't know who was calling and with it raining, I did have that happen to me as well. I swiped to answer and it stopped ringing (IIRC) and the screen was black, then a few seconds later I was connected.

@Hell, Gotta love premium burning software, Nero refused to burn Ubuntu onto a DVD last night. So I figured I'd try to see if I can make Windows do it this morning. It did. So, I'll have Ubuntu up and going this evening. And the wifi works fully again, as of last night. So, we're in Business.

I did mention I have CS5 at work, right? :-P

Ok, but did you run the script itself as root? The script and the app both need to have root permission. Before you run the script you have a few selections at the top, one looks like a skull and cross bones (it's the SU logo), select it and that grants/runs the script at root level.

Battery issue in v1.4

I loved v1.3. Only issue was netflix and wifi calling.

I loaded v1.4. Ran scrubber. Loaded rom and gapps. Redid permissions.

Rom runs great, except my battery is being sucked dry. I have not changed anything since loading v1.4. I.E. no new kernel. Same settings and apps as v1.3. Nothing running except gmail and craigslist. 5 hours after unplugging I'm at 50%. On v1.3 I'd be at 80%.

Wifi calling now allows me to trn it fully on. When I make a call though, it says it makes it, but I hear nothing. No dial tone, no call. The phone I called doesn't ring.

Netflix is big to me but it'll come some day. Wifi calling is not huge to me. I might go back to v1.3 as I did a nandroid backup of it. I haven't tried any other kernels, because the default in v1.3 was working fine.

Any suggestions? I read that the scrubber may not fully get cache cleaned up? I might go back and do the entire wipe procedure manually like I used to. I used scrubber though before loading v1.3.

For those asking about crt animation off if you wan't it you can download a app called screen off and lock that has a lot of different screen off animations it also took away the the flick of the home screen when turning on the phone. I am also curios why people are saying they use simple mobile cause it's cheaper T-mobile has the same prepaid $60 plan I think T-mobile has way better prepaid plans than simple mobile I had simple mobile for about 4 months and always had problems receiving picture messages if the picture size was to big that was with 3 different.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I just switched from simple to T-Mobile. I cannot stand simple, the apn always gets reset when you restart the phone and the signal always drops.

And i pay 40$ with T-Mobile unlimited everything 2gb of data.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jigajay:
That plan says unlimited 3G though was you actually able to watch a youtube video without it stopping constantly to load. I also left simple mobile cause they say unlimited web but they slowed down my internet 2 months cause I was a little flash happy and used a lot of internet to fast downloading my apps so they must of thought I was using my phone as wifi hot spot. So that unlimited web is bull 1 month they slowed me down after 1 Gb.

Maybe, I'm thinking it could be the new SuperSu which Chainfire released which we begged Hell to put in. I'm on my lunch and don't have alot of time. But check either the SuperSu thread in Android Software hacking General or the V6 thread. Does anyone else get this error or have sucessfully ran V6 on 1.4?

Also, I saw someone post that Hell baked the script in, is that correct, Hell?

You know, that could be it. On FireFox I have a few ad blocking add ons a couple of which block FB and others. So yea, if the synch needs some permission via the hosts file or via a certain IP and that's blocked, that would stop the synch from working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cargohook:
GEE WIZZ! GOLLY GEE WILLIKERS BATMAN, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT MYSELF?!!!! WHAT A SIMPLE AND ELEGANT SOLUTION! :rolleyes:

I KEEP EXPLAINING THE REASON WHY, IN MY SITUATION, IT WON'T WORK IN DIFFERENT WAYS. Hopefully THIS TIME people will ACTUALLY READ WHAT I'M WRITING, OR I'LL MAKE MYSELF CLEARER and folks will catch on to what I been trying to explain:

Sure, you COULD create a new APN. But in order to do that you need to put the correct values in the correct fields. We (i.e. Simple Mobile users) have established that the Simple pre-configured APN does NOT work WITHOUT certain values that EXIST ONLY IN THE T-MOBILE US PRE-CONFIGURED APN. HOWEVER the CATCH 22 is SOME of the NECESSARY SETTINGS from the T-Mobile US APN are OBSCURED, ENCRYPTED, HIDDEN, or whatever you wanna call it. In other words they appear as ASTERISKS. That's why you can't simply transpose those settings into the Simple APN and get it to work. And that's ALSO why you can't just create a new one.

Here's the T-Mobile US APN in its entirety as it appears on the screen in HFS v. 1.3:

Name: T-Mobile US

APN: epc.tmobile.com

proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: none

Password: ****

Server: *

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMSProxy: Not set

MMS Port: Not set

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication type: Not set

APN Type: default,supl,mms

APN protocol: IPv4

APN enable/disable: APN enabled [check mark in box, setting greyed out]

Bearer: Unspecified​

I draw your particular attention to the fields "Password" and "Server" above. See what I'm saying?

Now, in order to get THAT working for Simple, you must change some settings to:

APN: simple

proxy: 216.155.165.050

Port: 8080

MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc​

But without whatever values are hidden behind the asterisks in the T-Mobile US APN, everything WILL NOT WORK on Simple.

That's why if you can't open and modify the existing APNs, you can't get your Simple Mobile data working properly.

I hope this makes everything clear this time.

After looking, the edits definately didn't make it into the ContactsProvider.apk. I haven' looked at the framework.jar, but I didn't want you to waste your time chasing ghosts ;)

I'll put together what should be a temp fix for 1.4 until you get your compiling issue worked out. Wish I could help there, but I have compiling issues of my own (I can't get anything to compile at all!!! :D)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Have you tried just leaving those empty? I had to create an apn a while back and I left those empty, everything worked. Or perhaps password **** and server *. I highly doubt that * validates any sort of server information in a single character and passwords are never more than 1 word even I they are blended together or have _ in it they are still seen as 1 word so the 4 * has me thinking they are just * and not actually letters or numbers.

Oh and being less of a douche to those helping you gets more help in the future. Plus the 2 minutes of browsing Google gave me results saying to leave it empty.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Enough of this!

Do not make me dispense time outs.

Indeed, when setting up T-mobile APN's the username and password are left blank.

APN: epc.tmobile.com

The rest are blank (not set) until you get to MMSC.

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy & port are <not set>

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN type: <not set>

This was taken from an old post so maybe APN type is set now.

You seem to be on the right track...except for the attitude.

It's nobody's fault this is not working for you, and wgrant is just trying to help.

Yeah, you help out.

But you know what doesn't help out?

Stifling people making comments or questions when you can fill the thread with nonsense like this.

I'm sick of the 'tone' in here everytime a hell fanboi gets his nose out of joint because someone not in the "in crowd" does something he doesn't personally like.

(Like ask a PERFECTLY valid question).

OK? Because everyone here is guilty of posting things that might not STRICTLY be required in this thread. I'm looking at you pharoah.

And Hell (bless you Hell), NEEDS constructive input about things that don't work SO THAT HE CAN CREATE AN EVEN BETTER PRODUCT.

So can we please grow up, and do what we're all really here to do, which is to bask in the greatness that is this ROM and contribute in our tiny ways to it while we let Hell work his magic?

WITHOUT power tripping?

This kind of "jump on everyone else who has a critiscism or even a question" gets nobody nowhere. ROMs that support that kind of atmosphere die a slow death because everyone is too busy telling each other how great it is, there's no more room for improvement. So please.

And you know what, ANSWERING questions and discussing is far more valuable than this BS thats going on. Thread search IS NOT VERY GOOD so if you really want to help, answer a question and make it THAT MUCH EASIER for the next guy to find the answer.

Not looking to start a war here. But this atmosphere is not conducive to productivity for anyone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crypysmoker:
The main problem I have noticed is that anytime you do an update without wiping/scrubbing everything, this happens. Anytime I have just flashed over an update, all my APNs vanish and it wont let me create a new one or restore defaults. The only thing that fixes it is using the G2x scrubber, then wipe/factory reset/cache/dalvik.

Now granted, I have not gone up to 1.4 yet because it really is a pain in the ass to restore everything over and over, But Im on simple mobile too, and no matter what rom I have flashed, GB or ICS, I HAVE to do a full wipe twice in order to get the APNs to function properly.

Also, I have found the best way to get MMS and 4g working is leave Both the Tmobile APN and simple APN. Then set the simple apn to MMs only, and change the Mnsc (?), APN and all that to simple mobile settings. It works everytime.

But, calm down lol. Not everyone here has simple mobile or understands the use on MVNO's. So, they think the advice they are giving you is helping, yet it doesnt. I understand your pain. it took me 4 days of flashing every rom I could with no data on each. till I figured out the actual settings for the Simple APN, since this phone is the only one that seems to need some reminiscent parts of Tmobiles settings.

I had that issue on the 1.4 beta. I believe I shut wifi off then opened the app then force killed it by holding back button. Then I opened it again, enabled wifi and let it go. You might need to get some sort of T-Mobile signal though so it can register the app, stand near a windows and pray.
