[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaslofaro:
hi, first i'll introduce myself..

I'm Lucas Lo Faro, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm a java developer and an Android fan.

i think i'm having a problem with the baseband in my defy plus.

i use to have a defy (with froyo 2.2) and now a i have a defy plus with 2.3.4 and accidentally downgraded it to froyo 2.2 when i flashed the standart sbf of my old phone..

so i read a lot here and finally flashed the famous chinese firmware (2.3.6) to unbrick it..

and then i installed the MS2Ginger 4.0 rom but i cannot get any signal..

My issue is:

when i use the baseband switcher v4.0 i get this error:

"unable to detect your baseband configuration, it's possibly damaged. reset to default?"

so i renamed this directory: system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

(as i read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203297)

and used the baseband switcher v4.1 as i read in a post here.. but it still doesn't work..

any ideas?

please help meeee!

thx in advance..

i'm in Argentina and my service provider is Personal..

i don´t know what to do..

i thought it may be some rom incompatibility but it seems i cannot change the rom anymore.. because it would brick again..

thank you!

Stock Sbf

Try flashing the stock sbf again. Then root it, and flash a custom rom..maybe it'll work then

Have you tried to select "Claro" instead of "Personal" yet? remember the baseband switcher doesn't work if you select Personal.

Is this normal even in the latest nightly? I thought that full HWA would get this fixed, but YouTube lags if I'm scrolling trough comments and MX Player can't play videos at decent speed (tried with a 720p video that worked fine on CM7). Is it normal that I can't choose hw deco on MX Player?

Maybe it's something with the codecs?

Everything else seems smooth, though opening apps is a little slow.

Thanks in advance

Stock Player

Have you tried the stock player?

I have the same build as you have and the stock player is working great. I have downloaded some YouTube .mp4 videos (from PC) and they play like charm on the stock Gallery player.

Haven't tried other players, though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradigmshift:
I was having some serious lagging here and there, having moved through the last 10 or so Epsylon3 nightlies making setting change after change, and doing a lot of tweaking. I'm sure that something had left a footprint somewhere, and ICS wasn't liking it.

I'll tell you what made a big difference for me: Backing up, and doing a factory reset. I've reloaded my apps, and set everything how I like it, and whatever it was that was causing lag cleared right up. It's performing the best it's been thus far.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrigoroiuAlex:
Well, sometimes just wiping the dalvik and the cache is enough, but a clean install always solves all the problems.

Take good care of your Defy!

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader via testpoint, but I got the message like this on the log at s1tool :

DETACH USB CABLE FROM PHONE

REMOVE BATTERY FROM PHONE

ATTACH TESTPOINT

PRESS "READY" THEN ATTACH USB CABLE TO PHONE

PROCESSING . . .

qcReceivePacket : can't get packet data.

Elapsed : 30 secs.

what is the problem?

when I attach the USB cable should I attach the battery or leave it without battery?

sorry for my noob..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] GuestK00137:
Did you type *#*#7378423#*#* and check if your bootloader can be unlocked?

Sent from my WT19i using potato
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
yes I have checked it, it says bootloader unlock allowed : yes..

@madfysh so I just wait patiently until someone have the another way to unlock bootloader?

edit : sorry madfysh for not checking it first, I have the code 11w41, is S1tool need connection to internet to unlock? because it's say "packet data" I think it's like must have internet connection.. LOL..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
regarding your first post,mine remove battery while unlock BL...

So,Wolvgank, whats your problem exactly?maybe you not doing step correctly?

Madfysh any idea...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
well, I have try it with and without battery thing.. when I doing with battery the process didn't even start, and when I'm doing it without battery I got the message like in the first post I made..

I think I'm doing like the instruction say on the tool.. detach USB, remove BATTERY, attach TESTPOINT, press READY and then attach USB..

sorry for expanding the possibility for the trouble, because of that u become confuse..

I have read many guide to unlock BL in xda, many of them doesn't have the same step to step.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
Just follow 1 from the sticky/help thread. Start fresh without battery & take some help to connect test point. You should be good.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
ok I'll try again.. need all of your blessing.. lol..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Stop trying before you hurt your phone, you have a newer device made after 11w26 which cannot be unlocked by testpoint.

Your only root to unlock is official method, as all the alternatives rely on the same exploit, the thread madyfish linked to explains this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
in the post madfysh give me it's say 12w14, mine is 11w41..

do u have the source of the 11w26 above can't unlock via testpoint mpiekp? so I can read all about it..

so annoying only the official can solve my problem..

hiks.. hiks..

do u have some guide for me to customize my haida better?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yacloo:
what you choose as ground for testpoint connection
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
the minus.. I have try connect only one and both minus connector.

did it wrong?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
The exploit was closed from 11w26 and phased in with 100% after 12w14 on the new S1 Erom.

As your service menu says unlock allowed, save yourself a headache and use the Sony method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yacloo:
it was right

you may try another computer or use metal cover on SIM card slot as ground

EDIT : what is phone's erom in service menu if it's R9B031 can't unlock this way
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
well it's say bootloader unlock allowed : yes..

so I'm not a headache anymore, I'll get fainting..

my phone age just 1 month and I must lost the warranty..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Not sure but try with internet access.

Because as you said, its different error. Sorry i didn't notice it first time when I replied.

the_laser said it won't hurt your phone by trying, it just won't do the job.

Hm, thanks for info but I didn't hear anyone had problems with 11wXX device. Though I didn't check that link on setool forum for any news.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolvgank:
sorry off topic a bit.. what's the different setool and s1tool?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
S1tool is a small part of setool, made for free bootloader unlock.

So list some questions and answers :) and i'll update this thread

I just got BO 2.0.1 installed last night and I was having this same problem. Both youtube and gmail crashed at reboot and when I tried to launch them, Play and Maps worked fine. I cleared Caches without any luck, but an uninstall and reinstall of the apps from Play seemed to fix it.

Last night the wifi tether was working fine once I set it to use the Optima S profile. But this morning turning it on reboots the phone.

Over all I like it so far. It's alot more responsive than GV1.3 that I was running before.

Calendar app not sync'ing

Hey all,

Searched the thread and still haven't found a solution that works for me.

1.) I started on BO1.1

2.) Flashed BO2.0 and encountered multiple FC errors so....

3.) used LGNPST to go to Z8

4.) OTA update to Z9

5.) Flashed BO2.0

Calendar app doesn't sync

I have tried wiping tha app cache, wiping cache and dalvik through CWM.

Any other suggestions? I've been thinking about using titanium to backup and restore w/o restoring the calendar app and see if it will automatically dl it.

Thanks in advance!

And Thanks to MT and all the others who had put in so much time and effort to make the REVO a usable phone!
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Rip the Calender app from a previous back up and push it to your phone with adb. Should fix it. When I get a chance I will rip mine and post it.

If someone beats me to it, a flashable zip would be nice.

Constant VOD

I am also having constant VOD on my revo. I flashed BO 2.00 last night and only had 1 VOD. I used the phone today and had 5 VOD. I will try flashing the BO 2.01 patch and the blitz3 beta. I hope this will solve my problems.

One quick question about installing the patch. Do I have to do anything special with the patching or is it as simple as flashing 2.00?
[LG Revolution] jrb0408:
I keep getting constant reboots and many VOD(usually only when its charging/plugged in.) This has been for me the least stable ROM. When it works its great, but lately it seems every time I pick it up its either rebooting or had just rebooted. I even completely wiped everything and started from scratch and it's still rebooting.
[LG Revolution] xkbmxzero:
Same here for me!!! My phone now after several VODs wont even turn on. I think the battery has been discharded beyond the recharge point or my phone has a hardware failure from to much heat. Not sure. But looks like im going to buy a new phone.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
It's the push command.

adb push calender.apk /system/app

adb reboot recovery

wipe dalvik and cache

reboot.

worked perfectly for my wife on her revo, and hers is the same as mine just no theme.

i keep getting constant reboots also, ive tried complety wiping and reflashing to no success, im on zv9 and tried BO 2.0 and 2.0.1 and Blitz 3.0 but nothing works and also most of my problems are when im on the charger also i don't know what to do????
[LG Revolution] Mannn121:
I keep getting the vod's as well. So I Reflashed 2.0 again and it seems to have stopped. I like to use the go launcher ex, could that be the cause of it?

I have Samsung Galaxy SIII which I bought from Rogers last week. It has an LTE SIM card and 6GB LTE plan. The phone is still locked to Rogers, although I bought the unlock code already but haven't tried it yet. Yesterday, when trying to make a phone call, it failed and showed me message "Not allowed by SIM". I restarted the phone and it was fine after that. This morning it happened again as I was trying to make another phone call. I turned the phone off, took out the battery and SIM card, reinserted them again and turned the phone back on. Since then it's been fine again.

So my question is, is this a faulty microSIM or is this a problem with the phone?

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cm_grant:
Not Allowed By Sim

I have had the same issue with 32GB SIII on Rogers, it has been happening as frequently as 2 times a day! I had read up on the issue and people suggested getting a new microSIM card. I went to Rogers last night, and they replaced my microSIM. No issues there, however when I woke up this morning, "not allowed by sim" showed up again, and seems to enjoy taunting me.

I will be returning to Rogers tonight, so I will let you know what they do/say.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] K3113Y:
Not Allowed By Sim

Yes, I'm having the same issues. Had the phone (Samsung Galaxy SIII / 16GB - SGH-I747M) for about 10 days. "Not Allowed By Sim" flashes on the screen and kills any outgoing calls. To correct the problem, I reboot the phone. I've been having to text people and ask them to call me - strange that text message go but not calls. The problem is sporadic and doesn't seem to be correlated to anything I'm doing with the phone at the time.

I returned to Rogers; they felt it was a faulty sim card. They replaced the sim card yesterday and I was sure it was fixed, but the same error showed up this afternoon. I went back to Rogers for a second visit so they could take a look...while I was there the outgoing calls were no problem. They won't replace it until they can 'see' it with their own eyes. I'm going to head in the next time it happens in hopes they can see it in action. I'll keep you posted.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Same problem here

I have had a Galaxy SIII for about two weeks. My sim card is brand new and put in the phone when I purchased it. The problem with "Call not allowed by SIM" has happened three or four times that I have noticed. It happened this afternoon, so I drove straight to a Rogers Wireless store. Of course by the time I got there the phone was fine and made calls. The gentleman working there suggested replacing the sim card for $11 and said I was the second SIII owner to come in today complaining of this problem. I decided to wait and see what happens.

What the heck is going on?? So not impressed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Felchy:
I'm getting this too. It's happened twice in the week I've had it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mendy7511:
It is obviously not a sim card problem if it is happening on both Fido and Rogers sim cards and new cards are not solving the problem.

hmm then try to change your sim card. They normally do it for free and if still happening, could be the cellphone.

On my side, i'm with Bell but its really not better. I'm always losing network connection and GSM only seems to fix my problem. The cellphone doesn't like have a low signal on lte.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] K3113Y:
Not Allowed By Sim

Roger's has replaced three sim cards and finally a brand new handset and this is still happening. It seems to be more specific to something I've installed or something I do with the phone since I find it hard to believe I've received two 'faulty' handsets. I have a feeling that everytime I disconnect the phone from my BlueAnt S4 Handsfree device, I get the error message and can't make outgoing calls until I restart the phone. Has anyone else noticed a correlation between disconnecting from Bluetooth and the error message??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TadMorose:
I don't think it's related to Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth daily in my car.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KKbeohtay:
Well, I am headed into Rogers today. If there is an outcome I will post it here. Very happy (not happy, but you know what I mean) to hear this is not just me and this particular SIII. I love the phone but have had it with this happening.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JoshReuben:
Bump

Seems to be happening randomly on my Rogers sgs3 i747, in both cases solved by a reboot. Perhaps once every 7 or 8 calls, with and without bluetooth connected.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TadMorose:
You don't need to reboot every time it happens. Simply turn on Flight mode and turn it off and outbound calls will be working again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JoshReuben:
Thanks! That'll help.
