[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkedra:
I've had this issue for a few months now...first on a Huawei Deuce (never got it to work; got rid of the Deuce, a piece of junk) and now on my Motorola Xoom (3G). I can't get my Virgin BB sim to connect. Have tried dozens of combinations of APN, PAP or CHAP, APN type, etc. Nothing has ever worked. Sometimes the Xoom sees the network and displays a couple of white bars in the Internet Connection indicator but still no connection.

When I put the sim into the tablet the Optus Settings load automatically. I found why it loads the Optus settings when insert the virgin sim; these settings are in the file /etc/apns-conf.xml (no settings for Virgin AU though).

The sim works fine in the dongle it came with.

Just found this statement on two sites with Aussie APN lists:

"Inserting Virgin Mobile Broadband only SIM into an Android phone will NOT connect to the 3G data network. We believe it is the lack of PAP authentication in Android, please contact us if you figured out to make it work."

Both these sites are from 2009/2010. I wonder if this is still an issue on Android ROMs.

Can anyone help please; any ideas?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambishop:
I fixed the problem, but not sure which of my three fixes worked exactly and I do not really want to break things to figure it out. It is likely the last item that fixed the issue but the first would be required, or you can modify the APNs by hand

First I modified apns-conf.xml

I added the following:

<apn carrier="Virgin Broadband"

mcc="505"

mnc="02"

apn="virginbroadband"

type="default"

/>

I then added the following file to /etc/ppp/ ---- Try the bottom fix before adding this file as it may be redundant

filename: options

# /etc/ppp/options

# Require the peer to authenticate itself using PAP.

#+pap

# Don't agree to authenticate using PAP.

#-pap

# Require the peer to authenticate itself using CHAP [Cryptographic

# Handshake Authentication Protocol] authentication.

#+chap

# Don't agree to authenticate using CHAP.

-chap

# ---<End of File>---

Lastly

In directory /etc/ppp/peers/ rename mcli-gsm to mcli-gsm.bak

Create new file mcli-gsm with the SAME commands as the previous file plus add at the last line

-chap

Now Go And select your Virgin Broadband APN and ensure that Authentication Type is set to: PAP

Enjoy your Broadband internet

So wait, you have your Motorola Xoom with Virgin Mobile? Dafuq? Ok so I have a 4G model, but the 4G model has a 3G modem in it, too, right? And also, I thought the sim slot on Xoom was for 4G only?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkedra:
WOW, a post from the past.

Great that you got it working on the xoom. I found posts all over by people who couldn't get this to work.

Well done.

I must admit that I gave up on virgin (used a router to use up my data quota).

Thanx for the update.

No problem. I posted on a general forum this information as well along with a zip file containing the three files already modified.

Nice to see the Thread...I am so excited for MIUI in my wildfire....

Looking forward to your contribution in our little wildfire community.... :)

Wow!! I use MIUI on SGS its a great experience.

Thanks for bringing in to Wildfire!

If needed i can test it on mine. PM me
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
I'll happily test this for you! Its great to see I sparked interest in MIUI after starting my thread about it!

this will keep wildfire section even busier in the next few days.

thanks for sharing miui to wildfire.

Hey, I got this working as well! :) did you just use cm9 for wildfire and follow this guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1499411 , using your rom as the MIUI rom?

That's what I did and it booted fine. It is a nice rom but I am converting back to cm7 until it gets more stable... can't wait to see what you can do :D

Oh and btw, you say the music app is resized, but on the now playing screen it is all out of proportion, you may already know this but I thought I would point it out just in case you don't...

Is just at the boot animation
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
It'll be there for a while. It'll crash and reboot after the first boot, then you'll be in a working build of MIUI!

UPDATE 1: I love it! Everything is smooth and fast once it gets going! The UI looks lovely on the wildfire, even if some text looks small! All MIUI apps work, and the only problem I've had is the launcher crashing after changing wallpaper. Aside from that, it looks and runs brilliantly! Good job Stelios!

I tested "With the % battery and clock in the center", but when the notification bar is fully scrolled down, the status bar becomes transparent. I would look more beautiful with no transparency in that mode.

Something I wrote for myself that maybe someone would be interested in using.

This is NOT an official App, and I am in no way affiliated with the great guys at Honcast.com (shoutout!). I'm just sharing the joy of being a (mobile) fan.

The app allows viewing of Honcast (www.honcast.com) VoD on the tablet either via browser (Flash necessary) or a media player (DicePlayer/MXPlayer, etc.)

Currently runs ONLY on ICS and Honeycomb.

Tested ONLY on the Asus Transformer TF101, running ICS.

Hi.

I've unlocked my bootloader last night successfully, and went on to flash a custom boot.img.

First I did "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img", it went through no problems. However after that, my phone boots up to Sony Ericsson logo, it goes away and screen remains black.

I've tried to flash generic global ROM ( "fastboot flash system boot.img" ) to see if I can at least restore my phone to default ROM, it still acts the same..

Anyone mind helping ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashid.fairus:
fastboot flash boot boot.img - flash kernel

I've used "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as my first step.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rezapatel:
Hey guys, so what do you think, which it the two is a better device?

Specs are almost similar with acer being 7" vs lenovo 10". Same processor, gpu and other hardware.

Better io options on acer iconia specially the USB and nini USB.

Screen better on Lenovo.

I am still confused on the scalibility, developer support and future proof ics on the chosen device.

Thanks!

Anyone? Need to order one today..

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jakob95:
Acer Iconia has ICS now through the leak, not sure about if the Lenova one has it. I am pretty happy with my A100, it does anything I need. It really depends on you and what you want a 7inch or a 10inch?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rezapatel:
Thanks for the suggestions.

I looked and seems like both have their bootloaders locked, hence not very active for the custom rom developers.

Both are rootable, so it seemed like on the forums.

Acer a100 was launched early last year and hence should be a lower priority for acer, since a200 has also been launched. Although official ICS is expected by april and leaked already available.

Lenovo K1 also officially releasing ICS around the same time, but a fairly neew release by Lenovo so I guess, the support life should be better. Plus very recently, around mid Feb, Lenovo released the source code for their devices which to me sounds like they are looking at a developer friendly model for their devices. I don't know if that would make the bootloader unlocked for full developer support and developer interest, so only time will tell.

For similar prices (a100 costing 20 cheaper) but 8gb vs a 32gb k1, opted for a k1. Costing 335 canadian dollars with the taxes.

Hope the decision is right, will only know once I start using the device.

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] maek_it_happen:
I have both and they both have there pros
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rezapatel:
I am sure, which one do you generally prefer to pick up?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
I had both as well. Returned the K1 cause it was just too big and heavy for me to hold longer than an hour specially when I played games. I cant imagine how much bigger it will be with a case. Also at the time there was no quick easy root and not a lot of development for it. I did like surfing on it though due to bigger screen and loved the side button where you swipe down to go back a page. I didnt have to move my hands to hit the back button on the bottom in the notification bar.

If you want portability get the acer a100. I like that Im able to bring my a100 with me anywhere and when I take it out in public I dont feel as geeky as holding a 10 incher. Gaming on 7 inch is better also for me. There's also a mod if you have a 32gb sdcard to swap internal with external SD so basically your 32gb will be your main memory.

But if its for mainly home use and you do a lot of surfing then IMO the 10 inch is better. Battery will last longer too. If you cant decide though maybe have both =). I do...well not a K1 but I have a Transformer Prime I use when I'm at home.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] maek_it_happen:
Well the screen is much better on the k1 just plain impressive but its not easy carrying it around ,the a100 is much more portable and easy to hold with one hand , soon the Acer will be in my dash in the car :) . The Acer high note is its value x performance and specs on a 7inch , I have seen one on kijiji go for 175 ....me I was happy to get one for 220 ....there both good in there own way like I said
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Matt1408:
7 inches is the way to go. With a 10" tablet you would probably have to carry a bag to even have it on you. The A100 fits right in my jacket pocket (and even in one of my jeans) so I can have it on me at all times.

I usually have a wifi hotspot on my phone set up so wherever I am the tablet is connected. Feels great.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rezapatel:
I hear you there totally, and what i was almost sold on to. But then I decided there wasn't much point in the phone I carry vs the tabs size being close in dimensions.

The tab should give me a good screen and screen size, besides the power.

That made me favour the K1 more, lets hope I wasn't wrong. I will only get to know when I actually start using it. Expected to receive in another 10 days from now, with someone travelling to my country.

Thanks again everyone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rijans:
Just successfully rooted my galaxy s 2. Now gonna flash CWM . But what is the easiest way to backup my current stock recovery? So that I can revert back to stock recovey if needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can use something like MyBackup pro to backup your apps & stuff, but you won't get an 'image' of your setup like you will with a Nandroid backup done in CWRecovery. Or you could probably use Kies I guess (not sure about how this works though, have never used Kies for anything).

Best way to go would be to install CWM then do your backup before you go making any other changes to your phone (like flashing a custom rom). This will give you a backup of your setup as close as possible to it's original state (tho obviously rooted).

If you want to go back completely to stock (no root), all you'd need to do would be to download your original firmware from somewhere like Sammobile.com (until Intra gets his stock firmware collection up and running again) and flash that in Odin. Or you could get the latest stock firmware available for your phone/carrier/country with Checkfus (PC app, search for it on here/Google) flash the tarball you download in Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubba949:
Don't think CWM backs up your stock recovery just everything else, to revert back to stock recovery you would just have to flash stock firmware but lose root in the process. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Just as addition to MisthaBungle:

1. Flash a kernel containing CWM recovery (such as CF-Root).

2. Create a Nandroid backup in recovery mode (or use CWM Manager app if available).

If you want or have to restore your stock system, you can restore this Nandroid backup, but you will have to flash the stock kernel afterwards in order to replace the insecure/custom kernel containing the CWM recovery.

Alternatively you can do it like bubba949 described:

Just download and flash the latest officially released stock ROM to your phone, if you want or have to go back to stock.

I recommend to do a Nandroid backup before flashing a new kernel/ROM, just to be sure that you are able to go a step back in case something does not work.

So you will have an additional option ;-)

i will take it to samsung tomorrow and hope for best...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] boaxfux:
Please take a picture of the red dot. I wanna see it.

And maybe we can put a waterproof sticker over the red sticker so that when the phone actually does fall in water it won't turn red. Then remove the waterproof sticker and give it to the service center.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A5D:
water proof sticker wot help cuz besides tha internal circuit also has some water damage stickers

ill try put up that pic....

the phone is booting and everything(speaker,touchscreen camera ....) working but i cant test call speaker or sim coz as soon a s i plug in sim , the phone doesnt boot cuz still some water is present in sim slot.... also i have cyanogen installed rigt now... so if i take the phone to samsung service will he void my warranty by seeing a custom rom with root??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
Oh you are that Delhi guy. Remember me:D:p

And for your phone.

Did you tried downloading mode. If working flash the stock rom. Then took it to Samsung guys.

But I think you should let it dry first fully and try your luck.

Better try with a dryer after removing the battery.
