Not sure exactly what is going on...

I've been running this Rom since it's first release on GB, and I love the usability and speed in all your Roms. That being said I have a major problem now and I can't figure out how to go about fixing it.

I flashed a radio from the OP and Rom v7 after darkside wipe and following instructions completely (on CWM 5027 as suggested) Waited 10 minutes, rebooted, and alas, I have no data. Texts and calls come through but no mobile network. after that I:

Tried redownload the rom in case my downloads were bad, no good.

Tried full wipe and reflash without restoring data... still nothing.

Tried different radio (the other one in the OP) still nothing, even on fresh install

Tried flashing things in a diff order (Rom then radio, using cache wipe and not) still no mobile data.

Anyone have a helpful suggestion for this? I'm not a noob, I've been installing/flashing Roms since my Moto cliq 2 years ago, and have never had a problem following instructions. So I know I'm following instructions right, I even did them step by step slowly after a few failures, lol. Maybe there is something else I overlooked, or a hardware issue? Not sure. Either way great work on the Roms so far I've always been using yours since I got this phone and never been disappointed. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Are you downloading onto PC or directly to phone? Did you double check MD5 sums? If it were hardware related then you wouldn't have data if you reverted to a past nandroid backup. Have you tried that yet?

Stupid question, but have you tried toggling data tab? Every once in a while somehow my data gets toggled off by accident and it's not even on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OperationMove:
Yeah my MD5 sums match, I am downloading all files directly to my PC, I never download much through my phone, I'm somewhat of an old school guy. I even connect to USB storage via PC and transfer roms over and flash everything manually (Never any rom manager or anything.)

I will try a full restore of my last working backup and see if data works there. Suprisingly enough, that's one thing I didn't think to try :eek: I shall report back shortly.

EDIT: Yes Gators, I checked the Data tab on the pull down, as I too have done that before, lol! I also checked all the regular settings menu to make sure nothing got unchecked accidently! I also tried resetting the radio with the dialer code, also no good. Also checked the Sim card to make sure it was in, and it was. Weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Also, see my second statement that I added a few minutes later... regarding data toggle :confused:

Edit; nevermind Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OperationMove:
Thanks for the fast replies

Thanks alot gators for fast replies. Those were some things I'd thought of, and some that I haven't. Either way I'm doing a full restore from the 22nd and we'll see what transpires from that. I just found it weird that even after a Super wipe and reflash that it still had no data.

Also I notice that when I go to mobile networks in settings, Data roaming is unchecked. When I check it, and go on about my business, later on I get a notification telling me Data has been disconnected because of roaming. When I go into about phone it says Mobile network either disconnected or it says something about Edge v2, but no up/down symbols show up near my signal unless I'm on wifi, and nothing even attempts to load (instantly shows no connection). Perhaps this is why texts still come through, but nothing with any real data.

Either way after checking all settings, sim card, redownloads, reflashes, 2 different radios, etc I'm still not getting any real data, so we'll try Gators suggestion, do a full restore to my last working setup and check that out... then I suppose if that doesn't work it's on to Odin and then to Tmobile store if I STILL don't have any data :rolleyes: Either way I know what Rom I'll eventually be turning to when all is said and done. Derek you're the man, I love the Darkside!

After full restore back to v2, I still have no data, and this build definitely was fully working for me back on the 22nd. About phone says im on Edge:2, but hangs on "Connecting"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
I too have been having data/call issues. It's very strange. Sometimes my data will just not work. Usually resolves after a reboot. Yesterday I was having trouble with calling. I couldn't place or receive a call. The phone would act like it is connecting in both directions, but no sound in either direction. What is strange is if I put it in wifi calling mode, it worked fine. I did the cache wipe zip and it seems to have fixed the problem for now. Still lose data every once in a while, particularly when switching from wifi back to data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Now try cache wipe.

I just wanted to say that those with issues such as data, sometimes for some unknown reason your phone can just be a freakin retard and have issues. I experienced this about 2 weeks ago after many many months of flashing and customizing. Here is what I did:

Just wanted to chime in, that i have had my SGS2 running at max settings via voltage control, 1.8Ghz, Performance with CFQ, and the battery life is astounding. Games, netflix, movies on the sd card, play store crack fiend browsing, and the battery life gets me all hot and bothered. I can set the phone on the night stand at about 3/4 of the green battery, and wake up in the morning and still have about 3/4 battery left.

Also, i have been attempting wifi tethering, with no luck. I have attempted Clockwork tether mod, via USB and can report it works fantastically.

TDJ. you sir, are a sir.

Edit: Performance mode for playing on the phone, at night i set it to OnDemand with CFQ at 1.8Ghz. Was in a hurry and forgot to add that information.

Just an update:

To report I always had the off and on echo from caller point on all ICS Roms. I just reflashed DARKSIDE.EVOLUTION fresh and without rebooting I flashed yaldak diamonds fix and perfect call sound. Tested 3 calls (2 from landline and 1 cell call) which all 3 reported horrible issues.

I have the Seidio case which stayed on while testing. I do believe between the 2 of you the echo has been raped!

I installed and used the AOSP clock, calendar, email, messaging, browser, camera, and gallery with this ROM.

I got them all from out of the themes and apps section of the skyrocket forums.

It was a pain in the ass to get the email to work. It is in the thread as a zip file, but the only way I could get it to work was extract the 2 apk's from the zip. I then used root explorer to delete the 2 apk's from the system file and replaced with the ones extracted from the zip. then had to clear app data for it to finally work.

Only issue I have is when receiving mms pix. If 4g data isnt on I get downloading dialog...not download. In other words if 4g or wifi calling isnt being used I cant get it to download manually. (Never get prompted) therefore cant view the pic and have to harrass whoever sent me the message to resend again. Not an issue on gb juggs 5.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
In my experience the fix is going back to a Gingerbread ROM. My GPS is garbage on every ICS ROM I've used (including the official) compared to it being perfect on every GB ROM I've used. YMMV.

I'm rom flashing crazy, ive literally tried all of them and every version of each rom. By far this is the most stable rom outhere. I ALWAYS go back tho this rom. The only rom I have found to run aswell as this one is chimera rc1. It's good, so far I've had it as my dd for one day but the chimera beta rom for like three days, the longest I've gone without darkside. But darkside is an amazing rom, top of the top on my book.

I am wondering if anyone has used [KERNEL][3.0.8] :: DARKSIDE.VENOM 03 :: [OC|uv|BLN][6.26.2012] on this ROM. Both kernals say ver 3.0.8, yet this ROM says in the OP "3.0.8 DARKSIDE.VENOM 01 Kernel" and the other one is "DARKSIDE.VENOM 03", anyone want to shed some light on this for me? Is this not recommended hence why TDJ didnt put it in this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jesamyn:
03 is the most recent version, which he released after this ROM. The next version of the ROM will include a newer version of the kernel as well. If you read that thread, multiple people using the kernel are Darkside Evo users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icky2g:
So in your opinion would you use Venom 03 if you were going to be switching over to this ROM from GB, right now? Its not much more than flashing the Kernal right, so in theory would I be correct in assuming everyone here is using Venom 03?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jesamyn:
I believe v7 of this rom is using Venom 01 or 02. Based on the original post in this thread, it's using 01. Based on a post of TDJ's in the kernel thread, I though v7 of this rom used Venom 02. 03 has some additional changes, such as a new governor to increase battery life (head over to the kernel thread for details). Some people are having trouble with lags and freezing. Some people aren't. Since it's a new governor, it'll take some testing and tweaking to find and resolve potential issues. I think it also comes down to not all hardware being created equal. I'm running Venom 03 myself and not really having trouble. Whether you flash it or not kind of depends on how much you like to live your phone life on the edge. ;)

In my personal opinion, if you are just coming from GB, flash the rom in this thread with the included kernel, and use it a day or two to experience the changes. Then go over to the kernel thread, read the last 5-10 pages to cover what people's experiences are with the most recent release of the kernel, and make a determination as to whether you want to give it a try.

Sleep, my friend, and you will see, That dream is my reality

I'm not one to put my eggs in the basket and compare penis sizes via benchmark scores but here is my setup and score. Does it matter what I scored, nope! Becauseeeeeee my phone runs smooth and no hangups on anything.

Now I odin back to stock, rooted, flashed v7 then flashed the tmobile v3 venom following all instructions and waiting times/reboots. If me saying that I followed instruction bothers you tuff sh!t.

You will see my scores aren't high but you will also notice my higher cpu freq never got touched during benchmark. This is because I have bad@ss for cpu control and in case anyone forgot to read what it actually does, well it's a battery saver and cpu responds when it's needed. Too many people post pictures of battery life and ***** and moan "it's not good enough waaaaaaa". So TDJ spends time to create and setup a kernel that should be used along side the "PAIRED" rom with "NO" themes flashed or mods and people still complain. Even if TDJ gave everyone a handjob there would still be someone *****ing "mine wasn't long enough".

Now with all that rant above sometimes you just have to say to yourself "maybe something I did was just a little off". So for those who are complaining do the following.

[1] Odin back to stock ICS (odin to GB then kies upgrade), Run that for a few days and make sure you have no waaaaaaaa about anything.

[2] Now after a couple days root your phone and run that for a day or so and make sure you don't have any waaaaaaa about anything

[3] Assuming you've made it this far and actually took your time and tested everything, grab evolution 3 using CWM latest non-touch flash and follow directions. Wait the allowed time, run that superwipe once before flashing the rom, reboot after the initial 10min. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FLASH A RADIO IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THESE STEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you ask? You already have the stock radio installed from odin back to stock and it's one less thing you can blame any ****ty performance on. Run the newly flashed evolution for a day or so with NO RESTORED APPS installed. Go the the play store on your computer and click on "my android apps" and just click install and it will auto install fresh apps to your phone.

[4] Ok so we made it to step 4 and you should be a week into this beta testing. Yeah i said beta testing because sometimes you have to do it the hard way. Pull that silver spoon out your @ss and feel proud. So now we flash the CORRECT new kernel, which at the time of the post is version 3 for T-MOBILE. Make dam sure you flash the right kernel with the right ROM.

Now if you did everything perfectly, took your time and tested as you went and you still have issues, well.....go buy an iphone. :D
