[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
First, delete the Simple APN and retest, Simple does not show up to begin with when using this process: Flash ROM, Gapps, BBfixes if needed, APN fix if needed. Flashing the APN fix on an existing build may not clear the Simple APN from the phones memory at first reboot.

I was hoping to avoid explaining this but here is the thing with the grey/blue bars because the APN function was complicated as it is. Tonyp and a few others had discussed this offline. The blue/grey bar thing gives greater granularity to Google Services connectivity at the expense of making us think we may have lost cellular data.

My bars turn grey when in Google Maps and when sending/receiving MMS

In most ICS builds:

Blue Bars = Connected to Google services / cellular data is connected

Grey Bars = Not connected to Google services / data is still connected

This color changing thing never happened in my original ROM

My T-Mobile ROM never changed colors so I never would have know if or when Google servers lost connection. Don't know what to tell ya as I don't have anything else to go off of.

You are not really losing data because you will notice the data activity still happening in the signal bar overlay (the up/down arrows). The MMS still goes through and the Google maps application still updates the map data as you scroll around. If this is not the case for you, then something else is going on. Tonyp discovered a larger problem in the framework.apk that he ended up patching and I believe includes in the newest build, that resolved a GPS-data problem. The fix allowed the radio to recognize a data connectivity drop and reconnect. But if it reconnects to Simple first, then you still get a pause in connecting back to the TMobile APN until Simple fails.

I will have to add this to the already long OP.....now that I am out of breath. :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
Alright, so I flashed this, deleted Simple, and I will say it seems to have fixed a problem I had with receiving MMS. thanks for this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tehSecret:
Thanks OP, tested and confirmed working. Props for putting the explanation up as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
Simple isn't in my APN list, I flashed the zip from OP, my Data is dropping the same it just starts up a lot faster but it is still dropping. Maps will stop updating for a few seconds, no data or buffer, bars, arrows, and data icon go away. Instant Messenger always kicks accounts off.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
put genesis stable 1 on my phone to try this and it flashed fine, left simple listed as an APN so i deleted it

was able to download from the browser but when i went into the Play Store i couldnt download anything, even after clearing the app data. so i reflashed, installed this fix, same thing. did not check mms messages though, too put off about the play store not working
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I'm back on Domination build 80. I wiped cache/dalvik, flashed the APN fix, fixed permissions, rebooted, deleted Simple, rebooted, wiped cache/dalvik again, and then rebooted. I went to the Play Store on my desktop browser, chose to install YouTube, it pushed to my phone just fine and it appears to be downloading with no issue (aside from the fact that phone signal at my job is so bad tha it's literally worse than dial up...). I haven't had a chance to try MMS because it's usually a headache trying to receive pictures while at work so I don't even want to try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
Man I am struggling trying to think what would be happening for you. I have blue bars off/on during maps...showing intense data usage...but always get map data. The Play Store, I have browsed all around it, watch videos, downloaded apps, updated apps...I don't get any drops. I'm going to have to ask for some logcats from the two of you here to try to help. What chat program are you using, maybe I'll try it and see what it does for me.

Please help me by providing the following also, as I really do want to figure this issue out for all users if possible...

Which baseband are you on?

What RIL are you on? ( Use getril in the store, I want to know if this could be a BB thing and if you have matching BB/RIL)

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
Heads up, I have noticed that fixing permissions after applying this package can screw up the permissions on the /etc/anps-conf.xml file. This causes major data connection issues. Either apply the apn fix again, after fixing permissions, or change the permissions manually to 644.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
New file available

From the few people that have given me feedback, thank you!!! As a result the OP has been updated with a new file to download. This should help the few that did not see improvements with my original posting.It also should work for Canada WIND users but I need tester feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
What's different in the new file?

Also, it seems like with this fix I can't ever send MMS anymore, but I can still receive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyansky_1:
So I'm interested in what ROM you are using and what service you are with? If Tmobile, How new is your SIM card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Domination build 80, T-Mobile.... had phone since last October maybe?

And it's appearing as those the sending of MMS is hit or miss. I can be someone where with good reception and be unable to send a small screenshot file. It will just say sending for hours. This morning I was able to send one with no issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unoo:
gumna club

I am on wind mobile and am willing to help. after I flashed the file I have no data at all. The browser does not load and the play store does not load. I just get a no connection. It says I have 4 bars at the top but they are all grey. I am on the latest version of the genesis rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Which app are you using to send mms messages?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
i think im going to try this as well. only if your able to get data as well :P. i get random data drops as well. i wonder if its the culprit of causing my phone to freeze up whenever i get a call sometimes. every time a call comes in, i lose data because the antenna has to switch over to UMTS or whatever it is to receive the call, so maybe this will fix that?

p.s i might not know what im talking about. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I just use the stock messenger with Domination.

I was planning on trying Paranoid this weekend or when the next build is released, so we'll see if there's any difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Asked because I had similar issues with third party sms apps but not with the stock app on GB
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Fortunately I don't send too many picture messages. Today my friend sent me a picture of her new dress and I received it just fine as usual. I guess by receiving that picture, though, it triggered two pictures I tried sending a couple of days ago (that have been "sending" for a couple of days) and they finally went through after I forgot all about them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaronsmith1234:
Thanks for the fix, its made a big difference in the data connection I have
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Freakthis08:
Feedback

Hi, I just flashed this and this is some feedback!

Info:

I live in Minnesota with T-Mo

I've had my phone (and SIMcard) since June 2011

I'm on the March 2012 Baseband

I have Genesis Stable 1 currently Installed with Harsh OC/UV Kernel

for SMS & MMS I use Handcent

Missing anything?

For sending an MMS, Hitting send flickered the data off, then on/off in a split second then data came back, MMS sent fine.

(sent another and data goes off/on/send pic/off/on

Google play opens fine, then a flicker of data off/on

Opening maps is fine. no problems.

while in maps, pulling down the notification bar to turn on GPS causes a very short flicker of data off/on sometimes little longer or rarely, just a loss of google services connection.

For me this seems to restore the data connection a great deal faster.

Though the Google services seem to disconnect a bit more.

______________________

(before flashing apn fix)

On a side note, does the data connection have anything to do with losing the "image" for navigation or maps [see pic]? Seems frequently using either the map area of the navigation or maps will go gray/white and I can no longer see where I am.

Thanks for this fix!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyp:
Loosing the image is due to the missing hardware acceleration on ics roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Freakthis08:
Thanks Tony!

I wish that wasn't the reason though :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baseband:
Wind user

Thanks for this fix. I'm not completely sure what it does, but something seems to have clicked.

I'm on genesis stable and initially I had a few issues with this fix - specifically every time I sent an sms, connection (apn) would drop for a bit and I would not receive sms.

Tried a bunch of things - resetting apn to default made sms work and I was able to receive calls, but everytime I made a call, it would connect and then I would lose connection.

This is what seems to have fixed it for me - flash owain's fix, reboot. Calls drop after connecting.

Flash this fix, reboot, everything seems to work fine (testing for the past hour).

I'd be happy to do more testing if you want.

Update: It seems that I need to apply this fix on every reboot. I do that and things seem to work fine. I captured two radio logcats, first one when I rebooted without applying the fix and the second when I applied the fix and rebooted. Let me know if this is of any help.

Is there anyway to automatically apply this on every boot?

Caveat: I've had sms/apn loss on almost every custom ROM i've tried, stock ones are okay

[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
It's working great, the only problem is on Jelly Bean there are still data drops when trying to get a GPS lock, on CM9 ROMs I remember there was a setting to disassociate the network from assisting in GPS locks, but I don't see it CM10.

We are starting a movement toward HTC to get them to release their source code on a more timely basis such as samsung. We need as many people as we can get to do this with us because they won't listen if only users of 1 devices complains. i know others devices have been held up by htc so we are reaching out to (or at least trying to) all of the htc device forums we can in order to spread the word and get everyone involved. please take a look at the link below as it has all of the info regarding this.

[HTC Rezound] csong95:
even thow htc are not following GLP does not mean for us to get mad over this it will come if not then we should boycot htc
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
I am not signing a petition that uses terms like "B.S." in the letter. If you want HTC to respond, the letter should be done a bit more professionally and not read like it was written by a pre-teen.

Great idea, though. I am sure there is an appropriate letter to be found somewhere on the interwebs.

BTW, I can't believe that, with all the Verizon delays in releasing ICS, HTC does not already have the source ready for release. The OTA was almost exactly the same as the leak we got a month earlier.
[HTC Rezound] jclendineng:
Huh? Lol
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Exact thoughts I had
[HTC Rezound] SoonerDude:
I agree, that's a bit embarrassing. I'm beginning to think this device is mostly owned by people who are teens to early 20's. Between the way petition letter was written and the high school drama on this board over the past several months, I think I may be in the minority owning this phone in my late 30's.
[HTC Rezound] nolimit78:
Let me see if I could translate:

Dear kind sirs,

Even through HTC isn't following the GLP, we shouldn't get our jimmies rustled. If they continue to not give us what we demand, we should boycott the company.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Nice!
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
HTC will eventually release the source. I don't think a petition will do anything at all to expedite that. It's not a priority and the very small percentage of Rezound users that want the source is not going to make it so. If you're really up in arms about it and want to do something that has a chance of working, not a guarantee, but a chance, report a GPL violation.

Some things to keep in mind is that GNU can't do anything about it in this case, so don't waste time reporting it to them. They publish the license, but they are not the copyright holder of the kernel source. Only the copyright holders can do anything about license violations. In this case, there are several thousand copyright holders...everyone who has ever had any code merged into the mainline of the Linux kernel is a copyright holder. Their interests are protected by the Linux Foundation at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/. That is where to start if you want to report a violation.

It's fine to have this energy about this, but don't make the mistake of misdirecting in a bad direction.
[HTC Rezound] foggytown:
Sorry, but I can't sign this.

While I fully support HTC complying with the GPL. I support the usage of basic grammar in formal writing even more.

Was the petition machine translated? That would explain a lot.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
This.

If you're going to make a petition for something like this, then you need to do it professionally / with well-written grammar, etc. Right now, like previously mentioned, it just sounds like a bunch of teenagers that aren't getting their way. Re-write the petition to make it sound more formal / professional, and you'll get more support.
[HTC Rezound] chupajr:
Not to mention all the other problems with this, I don't really think this is [URGENT]...

Is someone going to kill your dog if they don't release the source or something?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
-_- really?????? come on now. have you read the GPL????

GPL has no specific date or time:

"While this version of the GPL does not place an explicit timeframe upon fulfilment of source distribution under section 3(b),

it is the consensus viewpoint of the Linux community that such distribution take place as soon as is practical and certainly no more than 14 days after a request is made

."

^ they have a choice to follow what other linux devs do which is 14 days. its only been 6 official days sense launch of ICS on the rez.

Please put down the pitch forks and RELAX already. once the 14 days are up, and you want join Spartacus in his quest to get source, then by all means do so.

[HTC Rezound] wmaudio:
I don't get why anyone is taking this thread seriously. If i were HTC and I received some letter from a group of people demanding I release MY WORK earlier than I planned, IF AT ALL, I'd tell them to go buy a a phone from some other manufacturer. Id then sit back and watch my sales drop 1% and continue to enjoy the millions of dollars that continue to come in because we all know HTC makes great phones and a VERY small percentage of consumers would stop buying them even if HTC said they would NEVER release anything.

You guys act like this is some kind of public utility that small children are relying on to survive. HTC owes us nothing outside of what the warranties on their equipment provides for. Grow up already. If you aren't happy, buy another freakin' phone. Jesus.
[HTC Rezound] partizan1981:
To Whom it May Concern:

Many owners of one of your devices, the HTC Rezound, appreciate your recent release of the Android 4.0 "Iced Cream Sandwich" operating system. Our collective enthusiasm continues to drive the notions of both innovation and creativity; to that end, we would like to ask that you please consider expediting the schedule you have for releasing the kernel source code for this operating system. While it is true that several previous devices developed by your company (and others) have taken a series of months before release, our community overall asks that you consider accelerating your kernel release schedule so that we may further engage in our community development efforts.

----------------

That is how educated, articulate adults speak and write. I would suggest replacing the existing petition text with something similar to what I wrote above; that way you won't sound like a 15-year old self-entitled douche-canoe, and will have the added bonus of most likely getting more than 142 signatories.
[HTC Rezound] Chuck Snorus:
Nicely done. Sales 101. Not to sound hypocritical but I'm going to steal the term douche-canoe from you for my personal use :)
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
Sorry my English is a little bad lol.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
You're joking right? You're talking as if HTC is the number one manufacturer when even RIM outsold HTC so far in 2012. That's bad. HTC was doing bad so they had to shake things up, did the One series with Sense 4 then just said "Meh..." to their other devices.

See, that's the thing. You say they owe us nothing when, by the GPL, they do. They're supposed to release the kernel source and haven't. Why? Give me one good reason why they haven't released their source code. They have nothing to gain from this situation other than customers getting pissed off which can be a PR nightmare. Trust me. There are over 25,000 users of ViperROM. HTC's better off to just give us what is rightfully ours before it turns into a giant headache for them.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Wow. Such an entitlement mentality. That is the problem with a lot of people. You owe me.... I deserve it. No!
[HTC Rezound] YZ:
Everyone has different opinions on this. Continue the discussion, but stay away from flaming.

YZ.
[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
It's not so much an entitlement mentality of "GIMMEGIMME!" as much as it is "Why haven't you done this yet?" Even then, seeing as how they're SUPPOSED TO release source, yeah, we're entitled. By GPL (this is pretty widely known by now) they have to release source. There is no reason for HTC to not release source at all.

That being said, yeah, this petition needs reworked. Or someone needs to call HTC and just try and try and try to get someone competent in the dev field. Actually, would it be someone in the legal department since this is technically a legal issue? I know that there isn't a certain window of time for them to release source, but it still technically falls under some form of legal mumbo jumbo.
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
In case you missed it the guy who wrote it doesn't have a Rezound. They have another HTC phone, and he wants the HTC user/developer community to unite for timely kernel source for all devices, for now and the future.

I may be a teenager ... so what. I couldn't care less if your 30 something either.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Yes but there is no time limit. As long as they release it then they comply. Even if it takes 100 years. There's nothing saying they have to by tomorrow.

Read it again...This isn't just about the Rez. It's about HTC d*cking around about releasing the source for their phones in general. It makes no sense that some of their phones get source almost instantly (Like the Evo 3D...even though their source for the Sprint variant hasn't dropped) and others have to wait and wait and wait.
[HTC Rezound] phuckwithfire:
Why does everyone have to be soooo damn elitist at XDA? Who cares if signing this petition is fruitless, and you think doing so is unnecessary? It takes two minutes to sign it, and just might get us source code quicker. No one needs your grumpy opinions on the matter. If you don't think it's necessary, then don't sign it, but keep your **** comments to yourselves.

That's just silly. HTC is well known for creating excellent, dependable hardware. Your statement is like criticizing Ferrari for not making more and cheaper car.
