Agreed. Sorry to ask, but you successfully flash CM9, and successfully restocked back to GB-Stock-safe -- that's not an easy task.

But you can't get firefox running? (I'll try to download firefox with ICS AOKP and with 2.3.3. open asia version my friend has and let you know).

GB-Stock-safe IS 2.3.3 JQ1, so there shouldn't be much difference 'Italy 2011 May 2.3.3 P1000XXJQ1 P1000OXAJQ1'

So if you can't get it running on GB-Stock-safe, you may not be able to get it running on P1000XXJQ1 as well.

EDIT: Firefox is still on BETA while android is already on jellybean??? -- wow you are really a loyal fan of Firefox.

Firefox on 2.3.3 and CM9, downloaded from google play, started up nicely. --If you restore from titanium backup, you might want to redownload from google play store.

If you move from CM9 to gingerbread, many apps restored from titanium backup wouldn't be able to start correctly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mito125s:
With GB from team overcome I can't download and install firefox from play store, because my version isn't supported... But with original firmware I downloaded it correctly... Why? Maybe team overcome modified some stuff...

I liked chrome in CM9, but with 2.3.3 I can't install it unfortunately...

recovery problem on my sgtp1000

Hey, even i shifted from cm9 to gingerbread with lot of pitfalls and difficulties.. now i restored my apps using titanium backup.. whenever i open my menu i.e my app drawer the restored apps are not displayed... when i exit and open the menu again they are displayed... what is wrong with my tab ?

now i have a problem..

i rooted my tab using cfroot which installed the clockworkmod version 3.0, then i made a backup of my stock rom i.e gingerbread 2.3.3 using the nandroid backup method i.e going into the recovery mode and manually making a backup..

then later on i flashed cm9 onto the tab. since i was not so pleased by it i thought of flashing back to the stock rom using the recover option in the recovery mode..

when chose that option,everything went wrong.. Note , i did not wipe any cache, or user data or dalvik cache.

whenever i tried to boot my tab, it was stuck at the boot screen..

now i have installed a stock rom of some other country and have both the backup i.e backup of stock rom and cm9 as well...

My question is that whether i would be able to get back my backed up stock rom and how ??

Secondly, how to perform a complete backup of rom and flash back to it in any case ?

Please help.. !!

thanks in advance..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
3 facts, that I know

- you cannot use Titanium Backup to restore to different OS, ( from ICS to GB was what you did), it is meant for same OS version

- to return to non MTD rom from CM9 MTD, a full restock is required, that means flashing GB from with pit file and repartition checked,

- Overcome recovery can't take reliable nandroid backup. CM9 one is OK. I never tried cfroot one.

restoring stock rom

As i said that I rooted my gt-p1000 using cfroot. it installed clockworkmod v3.0. I took a backup of my stock rom. Then later on I restored the stock rom from the recovery mode.

everything went fine, and the restore was complete. but when my tab started to boot, it was stuck at the boot screen.

Later on i performed a full flash using the odin method.. repartitioning...

Then i performed restoring the stock rom again which i had backed up before.. just this time i wiped user data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and this time the restoring worked fine..

my question is that.. i saw videos on youtube about getting a backup using the clockworkmod. they went in the mounts and storage section and wiped data,system and dalvik cache whereas i just wiped user data and cache partition from the main menu... What difference did it make ?? Did i did something wrong..

Note: i have restored my original stock rom which is working fine.

guyz i want a transparent statusbar fo my lww running cm.2 fxp 130

i have searched but could not find any thread regarding this... :(

so please someone tell me how to do that...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saiphable:
It is no good idea because of lot of battery drain. It is using more CPU, battery too.

Wallpaper with the same colour (on the top)like statusbar made the nice effect for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luv2ride:
Have had my S3 for a little over a week. Every single day it freezes and I have to pull the battery. No rhyme or reason, it just locks up. I notice it when I leave a wifi area, use 4g lte for a while driving then join another network, let's say in the office. Give it a couple minutes after joining wifi and it will lock up. I'm on Verizon. I thought it might have something to do with wfioffloading so I installed anycut and have disabled that. Which I like by the way, very cool prog.

Has anyone experienced this and if so diagnosed the problem? I cant do anything with the phone. I need to pull the battery.

Anything at this point would help. Frustrated.

Totally stock rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
Very peculiar indeed, maybe the phone itself is a faulty dud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Stock, rooted, rom, recovery,...? More info needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luv2ride:
Stock rom as I noted in the post. Not rooted. Totally stock. Now it might be an app thats causing this. Just dont know how to diagnose this. Any log files I can have a look at?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luv2ride:
Here is a bit more information. When switching from wi-fi to celluar coverage or vice versa is when this happens the most. Happened twice today when turning on wi-fi after walking in from outside. This happens at work mostly but has happened other places as well. Had to pull battery twice already today.

I was interested in learning people's perspectives on donation etiquette and was able to find a thread in the Samsung Vibrant forum. Good stuff there on donation amounts.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006726

Rather than resurrecting this thread, I thought I would pose the question here.

I have noticed that many people post the paypal confirmation number in the thread after making a donation. Do developers like this? Or is this just fishing for a 'thank you'. In some sense it cues others to make donations as well, which is good.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s60convert:
I donated to a rom developer but didn't say anything in the rom thread. That just seems tacky to me. The next day the dev thanked me via email. Good enough for me. I took advantage of his efforts and hard work, loved his rom and made the donation.

[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
Maybe you should try to adjust the telephony databases.

Get a copy of SQLite Editor and "Phone/Messaging Storage". You should find a telephone.db file, go into carriers. I noticed a bunch of Vodaphone-NL things, it seems weird to me. Maybe you can adjust them to fix it as they are all pointing to verizon (wtf?). Worst case, you could just try to delete them from the list and see what happens.

Either way, let me know how sucessful you are. It looks like this could be the start of a good solution. Someone else mentioned it wasn't working in the UK, this might also help with them as well...
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I didn't go through the entire logcat output you sent, but I did notice there are some 23415 entries and 20404 entries near the bottom. I would just say let's try wiping everything out that has anything to do with vodaphone.

What is the first 6 digits of the sim card you have installed (that usually just says the carrier's name)
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Thank you for having a look, I removed all 23415 and 20404 APN entries from the telephone.db file before the reboot (except for the APN that I added manually). Is there any other place I should look for them? E.g. would it help to remove them from the apns-conf.xml as well?

20404 is Vodafone NL - both the "real" Vodafone NL and the one used by Verizon, so this value may be legitimate. It matches the settings provided by VFNL's website: MCC = 204, MNC = 04.

I can't find the 23415 value in the log, but it sounds similar to the Vodafone UK ID in the APN settings. Can't verify because I just deleted them :S

There are two numbers on the SIM card:

- A 10-digit number starting with 893144

- A 9-digit number starting with 798855

At the bottom there are 2 codes:

- VF-NL

- 088M020
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I could be completely wrong with this one, but I may have asked you to get the wrong information.

My SIM card (I'm with Rogers in Canada, my MCC is 302, MNC is 720) number begins with my 89302720.

I'm not 100% sure, but one might be able to break up the number "89" (identifies a SIM), 302 (my MCC), 720 (my MNC).

I'm thinking that your SIM card isn't registered into the phone and recognizes it as an unsupported SIM. My sim card is recognized by my phone but I get an "invalid SIM card" error.

1) Let's try to add the first 5 digits after the "89" from the begining of your SIM card number as a new APN.

2) Have you tried some of the build.prop tweaks that prevents routing US routing when abroad? Try to enable that, look for a different thread

3) Also, what version are you working on? If you're running on the leak, make sure it's the latest 6.16.215

4) Worst case what we could do is factory reset the phone, that will bring back all of the old APN settings and we could try to mess with the ones that are in vodaphone. You can probably find the original APNs in the XML file in the /etc folder on the phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
Hmm, I think I have ran out of ideas... looks like this one might be beyond my abilities. As a last resort have you tried running a custom ROM at all?

Sent from my XT894 running ICS
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Not yet, but that would indeed make sense to try. Somehow I didn't think about that yet.. guess because I already like the stock Moto ROM. Thanks, I'll try Safestrap + CM9 later this week and will post my findings here!
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
I'm way out of my depth on this one, but here's a few things to try:

ro.telephony.default_network=3

Also try olegfusion's modified version of the stock ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786862

It's pre-configured for GSM support, unlike Hashcode's CM9 and AOKP ports, and it comes with a lot of APNs. It also has all the Verizon bloat removed.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Thanks for having a look. Unfortunately the default_network setting didn't make any difference. In an earlier ROM, there was a comment near this setting which stated "use 7 for global" or something like that. But so far I tried 10, 7, and 3, with no result. SIM still shown as not supported, and no data.

I'll check olegfusion's ROM first, thanks for the advice!
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Update: a user on the Dutch tweakers.net website seems to have found the answer. Apparently the business APN works, but the personal APN doesn't. So now all I have to do is convince them to let me access their business APN.. then no more screwing around with bootstrappers, ROMs, etc.

Have to wait until Monday though, longest weekend of my life? :silly:
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
Same problem with Vodafone NL

NOOOOOOO. I was so excited that my droid 4 would still work now that I just moved to Amsterdam. The SIM card is was given through work is Vodafone NL, which I thought would be good because they're the biggest carrier. I start this up with the new ICS and get only calls and texts, no data.

Sjaakbanaan, since I am on a business account, maybe I am able to try the business APN? Can you give me the information for this? (or is this what i need androidworld.nl/forum/showwiki.php?title=Tutorial:APN+lijst+Nederland)

Did you have success getting on the business APN today?
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Yes, it's working now! They were surprisingly helpful, had to do some tricks to allow me to access this APN but they helped me just fine. Real kudos to them! :D

The business / modem APN is basically:

APN name: office.vodafone.nl

Username: vodafone

Password: vodafone

Authentication type: PAP

Note that you may need to set the username/password manually in the /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options file (requires root) before it works. Since you already have ICS, I assume rooting it won't be a problem either :cool:
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
I wasn't able to get it to save the APN. Here's what I tried:

Put SIM in, turn off airplane mode

settings > mobile network settings > network mode : I had to set it to GSM / UMTS only instead of Global in order to get access to the APN settings.

Access Point Names

when I tried this again just now, for the first time, it had pre-populated some APNs. and one of them was Vodafone office. it had all the correct data pre-populated

APN: for business: office.vodafone.nl or web.vodafone.nl - Proxy: 192,168,251,150 - Port: 8799 - Username: vodafone - Password: vodafone - Server: Not set - MMSC: mmsc.mms.vodafone . nl - MMS proxy: 192,168,251,150 - MMS port: 8799 - MCC: 204 - MNC: 04 - Authentication Type: PAP - Type of access: empty (so empty and remove as little responsible) - APN protocol: IPv4 - APN Enable / Disable: APN enabled - Carrier: do not give up - press the Menu key and select 'Save' - Return to the Home screen

also the service seems worse with the vodafone card in as opposed to my roaming tmobile card, which doesnt make sense.
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
You also need access to office.vodafone.nl. Contact the servicedesk. Office.vodafone.nl is usually only for corporate users. Consumers need special access. You should check this.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
It really depends on the area, but that is a little strange indeed. Usually T-Mobile is known for having the most problems with reception, Vodafone and KPN are the ones with better reception.

As Die Bruine states, you need access to this APN. Otherwise you can try live.vodafone.com, but that's most likely not going to work (see: this thread)

Other things you can try (courtesy of me having gained a lot of unwanted experience in these matters recently :p):

I would recommend not filling in the proxy settings, and also not filling in the MMS settings unless you actually use MMS I guess. On my Droid 4, those are all empty.

For "Type of access" you may need to add at least "default" or "default,supl"

Never rely on a default APN for Vodafone. The defaults in my Droid 4 were completely wrong (pointing to Verizon somehow), and even when they are not, Vodafone still recommends always adding a new APN in Android phones. Did you try adding this as a new APN?

If the APN doesn't stay saved, you may want to add it manually (and perhaps even remove the default ones) in the telephony.db database. See bottom part of this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27099169&postcount=2

Pro-tip: this is also the only way to add 'dun' to the access types, which is required for using the built-in Mobile Hotspot (WiFi tethering). You also need to disable the Verizon entitlement check to use Mobile Hotspot: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26559549&postcount=4
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
Thanks guys.

No luck yet. I've tried all the various APN settings. since I got my Vodafone NL SIM from my company I figured I would have access to office.vodafone.nl

For the APN in android, it seems like there's a radio button to the right of each APN list item, I'm guessing that is how you select which APN to try?

all of my added APNs are still showing up in the list which I guess is good.

I will try customer service by phone. I got the store after work today right as they closed, jammer.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I was looking forward to buy one but now that I see this thread I'm not sure what to do, I have a corporate subscription on Vodafone RO and current setting for my APN are internet.vodafone.ro should the problem be present with this APN or it is only with live.vodafone.com ?

thanks !
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
There's no way to be sure except for trying, however I expect this should work fine due to the vodafone.ro domain.

Vodafone.com is generic and can point anywhere, so I suspect that based on some setting in the phone, vodafone.com was pointing to another (international?) domain than intended. Most likely because Vodafone is Verizon's roaming partner, they have some Verizon Vodafone IP address instead of the real Vodafone IP address in there perhaps? Couldn't find the setting though, the hosts file was clean.

Vodafone.nl and vodafone.ro should not have this problem, as they have country-specific domain names, and as such would not have been manipulated by Verizon. This is purely speculation, but it makes sense I think.

However, if you ever were to visit the Netherlands.. most likely you would need the Dutch Vodafone APN for roaming data, and if that works would depend on whether or not your Romanian corporate subscription is recognized here as such. If you get the live.vodafone.com APN you're out of luck.
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
I unfortunately have not has as good an experience with vodafone customer service as you. I tried calling and they said there's no reason office.vodafone.nl would work, and I wasn't the account representative so they couldn't make the addition of the APN.

I went into a store today at least hoping they would have a SIM with the office.vodafone.nl enabled that I could try and see if that really is the problem, but they didn't and they didn't do anything new to help the situation. maybe i need to go to a store not in touristy amsterdam centrum for better service
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
I called the helpdesk via the 1201 number to get this done. Strange how the experience can be so different.. maybe if you want English service, you' ll get people who are more fluent in English but less in customer service?

The lady that assisted me didn't even question me for a second, I told her I spent a week on this already and heard the office APN should work, she asked me which phone I had, consulted a few times with someone and got everything done. Really surprising in a good way, too bad the experience varies.. I gave her a good mark in the customer service questionnaire thingy, hope it helps somehow.

The people in the stores are useful if you want simple things OR if you're lucky enough to find a smarter than average one. Keep in mind, our requests are far more advanced than those of the average customer. Wish it didn't have to be so though.

"I need a new micro-SIM" - no problem, done in a few minutes.

"I need a new micro-SIM which ...." - might be too difficult already

Getting a new SIM won't help anyway though. I got a new SIM and had the same problem. They really have to change your subscription itself, you can even keep using the old SIM. But if you're not the account representative I can imagine they'll be less helpful with that (imagine you are sponsoring somebody's contract and they are changing things without your knowledge). Is there any way to get that representative to help you with this?

Basically what they did is add a "Phone as Modem" package, which is usually 15 EUR/month, but they set it to 0 EUR/month due to the nature of my request. However, in the overview it still appears as 15 EUR/month (I have to verify my upcoming bill to see if it's correct). She warned me "don't worry when you see this, it's normal". I can imagine without such a warning, someone might worry they'll pay 15 EUR/month more.

I can't check the exact package name now, as the My Vodafone service is offline. But I think you can enable/disable these packages per month usually.
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
Ah wow that was nice of them. That sounds like a very off-the-books response by them. And I may have trouble getting to that point with the corporate account.

I will try to get the account representative to ask for me or better have them authorize me to do it so I can explain the situation.

Thanks a lot for your help with this. Hopefully I will eventually get this to work.

unrelated, but the biggest data allowance package I saw on the vodafone site was 1GB unless you have an iPhone?! that's crazy. I just sold my unlimited data account rights on ebay. all the data you can eat will be sorely missed.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Yes, crazy indeed, it used to be fair-use (as with most providers). But data limits were re-introduced one or two years ago, after mobile data proved to be too popular and services like WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, etc. started to compete with their core business.

They do have an extension bundle available, which I have active: once you go over the 1 GB limit, you will be charged an additional.. 10 EUR I think it was, and get an additional GB (so max. 2 GB total). After the second GB they will still start charging additionally per MB I think, not sure.
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
t-mobile.nl

I bailed on Vodafone. It was getting too frustrating.

I went with T-Mobile, I went in and tried a test SIM and it worked immediately. So I bought a plan. Also, they have a sim-only plan with unlimited internet. I thought that was unheard of here. Much better data options than vodafone: t-mobile.nl/mobiel/simonly they also seem to have good roaming options

Shame I couldn't get the vodafone one to work though. I never was able to get them to put me on office.vodafone.nl
[Motorola Droid 4] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
Regarding your tip about Mobile Hotspot: I am unable to get wireless tethering to work. With the verizon entitlement check off, I still have these issues: the built in Mobile Hotspot does not turn on. The Wireless Tether app (for root users) will start the connection but devices are not able to connect to it; the connection stalls out. Is that an issue with the Droid/ICS or the Carrier (T-Mobile NL prepaid)? I wouldn't think the carrier would be able to effect that

Edit: nvm, it was a carrier issue. I added ",dun" to the Type of the connection in the APN being used, so now it says default,dun and I got the native Mobile Hotspot app to work. Still couldn't get the wifi tether app for root users to work.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
Glad to see you got Mobile Hotspot working. I actually prefer it over custom Wifi tethering solutions, so for me this is quite sufficient. On my Milestone 3 and some other phone I also found that custom Wifi tether apps sometimes work a bit strangely when the phone comes with Mobile Hotspot built in, like the 3rd party app is somehow activating the built-in app.

Just out of curiosity, any particular reason you'd like to use the 3rd party wifi tether app?
