[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazzaR22:
I will try this app now and see what happens
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Ah, exactly my thinking as well, I just didn’t know how to test it. I will give this app a try later tonight, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazzaR22:
Nope, doesnt work. I connected to wi-fi and downloaded the app. I used it to match the the RIL and baseband but still no APN.

and now signal level is really low.

Will flash back, but yeah, app does nothing to solve problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
You always restore your old backup. Use the app to do it

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazzaR22:
Not sure what you mean, but flashed back to CM9-20120806-nightly or restore back to ICS and the APN re-appears like a miracle.

I am lost!!! Why will this info for the APN not transfer to other ROM's?? And why is it working on a certain CM9 ROM????

This is confusing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. I meant the app, well make a backup first, before doing anything. So incase you run into trouble, you can always restore that backup.

2. The problem is surely from the cm Rom. A feature is missing, that's preventing your APN from working properly.

3. Did you try to manually set the APN again, after using that app before resulting back to CM9?

If not, then try this:

- flash back your troubling ROM

- use that app

- reboot phone

- set your APN manually.

Let me know what happens

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazzaR22:
Okay, I have tried all you have suggested, and thanks for the help..........

But nothing is working.

It doesnt seem to be a CM problem either. I have flashed Paranoid and ErerekCM and a host of other ROMS, Im not joking, have tried about 10 or more ROMs with no difference.

The only one that works, ie allows me to connect to mobile data, is the 'ONE' CM9 nightly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
it is CM10 and maybe some version of CM9 issue. So all Roms based on it, will probably have the same problem.

How to confirm this,

1. flash a stock based Rom. Your phone works

2. Flash some version of CM9. Your phone works

3. If Samsung should release jellybean update tomorrow. Your phone works.

The problem is similar to some people on some carriers, that never get their H+ working on all Aosp based Roms. But when they switch back to stock based Roms, everything works perfect.

If you guys can report this issue, more technically to CM TEAM, they might fix it in subsequent updates.

Hi, this weekend has been a bit crazy so far. So I only had a chance to test the app now and this is what I did:

- Flash ResRemix v3.0.1 (working)

- Backup RIL

- Flash cMIUI v2.8.24 (not working)

- Restore RIL

- Reboot

*drum roll*....It's working!!

Jokesy, you, sir, are awesome!! I would like to thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Wow. working at last.

Enjoy your new working ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BazzaR22:
OKay......

Now I still havent got this working, What am I doing wrong??

- I have flashed the CM9 rom that is working, ie have APN and can connect mobile data.

- I then open GetRil, it states that my "RIL/baseband doesn't match".............

But APN and mobile network is working????

Now you guys talk of backing up your APN with getRil, How do you do that??

And should I 'download & install RIL' even though the APN is working. I am afraid it will stop working.

I will do a CWM backup later today and then try to 'download & install RIL' and see what happens.........on the CM9 ROM that is working.

Will let you know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Hi,

You can ignore the “RIL/baseband doesn’t match” message. Just make a note of you current RIL and then tick the “Keep RIL after ROM flash” box. This will create the actual backup under "/sdcard/ApnBackupRestore/".

Once you have flashed the new ROM, you then just select “Download & install RIL” after you have selected the RIL from the list. Now you just need to reboot and the APNs should be there.

Also, if the APNs are there and you're not experiencing any other mobile communication related problems, then don't fiddle with the RIL.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medienkind:
Did any of you guys change your sim cards during the process?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Hi,

I ordered a replacement SIM card which arrived on Monday. But I actually managed to fix the APN problem on Saturday night.

So unfortunately I can't say whether the new SIM had an effect on anything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaapman101:
I tried the "getRIL" solution with Cyanogenmod 7 going to Cyanogenmod 9.1.0 but it does not work. My APN list stays empty. Are there any other solutions? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Goeie dag Mnr. Skaapman, dit is lekker om nog Suid Afrikaners hier te sien.

After extensive testing, replacing the RIL was the only solution that worked on my device. Perhaps we first need to confirm that you have the same problem.

Please try to manually create an APN, even though it won't save. You then need to access the system logs and tell me what you see. I received an error saying "Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator".

I recommend that you use CatLog, set the "Log Level" to "Error".

Also, if the log viewer comes up empty, you might have to run the below commands in a terminal emulator.

I am not sure what you mean?

Please elaborate, what is missing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BergenLarsen:
I've been struggling for MONTHS! Solved it tonight!

I've been having the exact same issue. MTN-ZA using my SGS2, Siyah Kernel on MiUI.

So, what solved it. That LOVELY applciation GetRIL (as suggested in this thread, found on the PlayStore).

Open up GetRIL (assuming it is installed) when connected to a WiFi network.

Scroll to near the bottom of the list, look for "I9100BGLP2; I19100BULP6;"

Select it.

Tap on Download & install RIL

Once download has completed and the RIL has been installed. POWER OFF YOUR PHONE.

Power back on.

When boot up has finished, go into mobile network data and check your APN settings... if they are suddenly there again, it should work like a charm. If not, carry on trying all the options.

The above worked for me. I'm doing my little happy dance now.:victory: I've been cursing for the last two months. MiUI is how the SGS2 should have been released.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLACK_DOOM:
Thanks

Hey

Thanks to every one, I am just glad I was not the one with the month long struggle.

One last question as most of us is on MTN-RSA what Modem works the best and why?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fakelite:
I can confirm that this works. I've been struggling to get my MTN APNs to save and this fixed my problem.

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertostefanini:
Fixed mine

Hey I was also looking as to why my mobile data didn't work, and this gave me an idea. My APN's was also blank, so I just dialled the network providers service number (Mine is *147#) and chose the option "Get data settings". Your network provider should send you the APN settings then. Try it out. I have a I9100 and I am on the alliance rom JB. I live in South Africa. Cell C network

Same: Asus Transformer & 8ta South Africa

Hi,

I am also in South Africa and my Asus Transformer 101G (3G version) (android 4.0.3) has started giving this same error out of the blue in November 2012.

Before reading this blog, I tried other SIM-cards, and tried putting my SIM in other devices. The SIM is not the problem.

I tried the suggested GetRIL solution, but it seems my device is not supported yet. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

I have not ever installed any custom ROMs so I don't know why I suddenly got this problem. Asus South Africa is not very helpful and wants to replace my motherboard for half the price of a new tablet, but they are not sure it will solve the problem...

Please help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citizenb:
Really Really solved now :)

Hi There

I am posting on this thread as I am a South African user on the MTN network and I have categorically and properly solved the issue of not being able to get 3G working and add APNS on Jellybean ROMS :D

I recently decided to do my first S2 flash and thought it would be a doddle as I'm a proud owner of a droided HD2 that is still going strong in the hands of my 8 year old :) Ancedotes aside I proceeded to do my homework, rooted and CWMED my S2 and my P7500 tab just for laughs and hit them both with a dose of Jellybean love.

The P7500 behaved beautifully and the S2 did as well until I realized that the 3g wasn't working and I could not add any APNs. I spent the next few days googling liek crazy and expanding my knowledge of Samsung flashing. I flashed countless ROMS both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2, flashed modems, modem and RIL combo packs, used GETRIL (hence my finding this thread) all to no avail other than one bizarre moment when I got 3g working somehow on a Slimbean install and then decided it wasn't the ROM for me after all and after the next flash 3g refused to ever work again.

At some point in all of this the idea was starting to form in my mind that surely this issue must in fact be somehow related to my provider and their APN setup so in desperation I grabbed a Vodacom SIM out of a colleagues phone on fresh flash number 423 (I think it was a SuperNexus ROM) and lo and behold it picked up the Vodacom APNS immediately.

After I spent some time cursing MTN I then set about verifying my finding by putting in other MTN and Vodacom SIMS and it was then that I discovered the real issue. Another colleagues MTN SIM behaved the same as mine, however just as a control I took the prepaid SIM out of my tab and put it into the phone and would you believe it - instant APN detection.

Some more googling around local providers and Jellybean (now that I understood the problem better) led me to a post on a local forum where someone explained that Jellybean is in fact some way reliant on the SIM card for APN detection and that this was confirmed as not working on older SIMS (the SIM in my S2 in fact dated back to 2 phones ago), while the one in my tab was much newer.

Which finally leads me to my confirmed solution. I went to an MTN store today, did a SIM swapout and as soon as the new SIM was activated I put it into my S2 (which is now running a 4.2.2 rom) and the APNS and HSDPA connection appeared instantly. :D I suspect that now that I understand this I could probably use a pretty wide range of the XX designation modems on this network and they would all be reasonably happy assuming they were Jellybean compatible modems matched with the correct RIL.

Anyway that is the story of my trail of fresh grey hairs - I hope that it will ease the pain for the next guy trying to do this.

In closing A massive shout and much love to the ROM Devs here, you guys have brought me much joy since my first Gingerbread Flash on my HD2 - keep up the awesome work :D

Same Problem!

Hi guys..i would just like to let you know that you are not alone,i'm also on MTN South Africa and have this same problem,i have yet to try some of these solutions and will post my updates when i'm done. I have however been on avatar Rom 4.2.2..but i love the 4.1.2 from snapdragon,it comes with some S4 features,i just can't get the APN's to work though. I tried differenet modems,Ril's and even changed the csc..but to no avail.

I hope one of these solutions will work :fingers-crossed:

Update: So i tried a newer sim card from both MTN and Vodacom SA and they both work on snapdragon 4.1.2 and avatar rom 2.15b as well as all 4.1.2 official firmware! Woop woop! Thanks guys!

All the help much apreciated,carry on with the great work dev's.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoMIME:
I just need to add that the above also worked me.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2, running CM10.1 and I'm also on MTN-ZA like most of the people on the thread. :)

After searching for a solution for months, I'm so glad to have found this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertostefanini:
Not cyanogenmods' fault

Hey I know this thread is kind of old, just putting extra info in it though.

I just spoke to the MTN guys. They say that the official samsung jellybean firmware also did this and they had to fix the rom before releasing another update. So it isn't entirely cyanogenmod roms' fault, but more jellybean
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vankog:
OMG!! That's it!!!

Thank you sooo much!

Some info for other guys out there:

I came from the Stock JB 4.1.1 on my Galaxy Nexus (maguro yakju) to Paranoid Android 4.3 Beta 6 and 7.

GetRIL showed me, that the 4.1.1 RIL/Baseband was still on the device. I'd been thinking the ROM would update this... :(

I did install the RIL/Baseband like you said - and as suggested by GetRIL - rebooted and it worked!

BTW, some background to my problem:

Right after boot the com.android.phone app kept on crashing over and over again for quite some time. Sometimes this did stop earlier, sometimes it took a while. Say 1-3 minutes of crashing loops. However, in the end telefone was working, but internet not, because the APN list was empty and I couldn't setup any, neither.

The log showed up an error "Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator" just like iMORT3rnAL described his problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krkiss18:
Hello guys.

Is there any way to get these settings done manualy, without the app?

My device is not supported :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vankog:
Well, the app is not really needed. It is just a convenient way to install the latest suitable RIL/Baseband.

Just search for (usually) the latest RIL/Baseband for your device (possibly in one of the sda-forums) and flash it yourself. (download, go into recovery and select it for flashing)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sands207:
Do you think this would work to correct an LTR APN issue with CM 12.1 and the Moto E 2015? 3g,texts and calls all work but LTE being selected just makes 3g cycle again and again like its trying to turn LTE on, any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaillum:
Am aware that this is very old but I'm semi-bookmarking this by replying, because I think I may be experiencing a somewhat related issue.

I'm experiencing reboots every time I enter APN details for my SIM. I'm not in South Africa. The phone is stable and works fine if the phone is in airplane mode, or if I do not attempt to enter APN settings. I'm using a Sharp Aquos S2 and running Lineage OS 17.1 dated 2020-04-23.

I'm going to sleep now so I might come back to this if it turns out this helps me.

Thanks for your answer.

I used the stock ICS release by SAMSUNG, not CM release.

As your answer, there is still the normal mode, but can require root shell type the command "su".

I have resolved the problem by flash the speedmod kernel which provide adb shell root. With adb shell root you can use PC Client command like "adb root", "adb remount", "adb push to /system directly"
[HTC One X] Sukh1983:
Hi All,

Just a few quick questions. I recently flashed the ROM mentioned in the thread title and was wondering whether anyone else had experienced issues with Battery Drain. My battery does not last more than half a day now, and it seems that everything I do with the phone dramatically reduces the battery.

I know this is probably not the right place to post, but I was unable to post on the related thread as it was a development thread and being a noob, I cannot post on the thread.

Also, I know this is a Senseless ROM, but I really liked the HTC Car and Music app's, so was wondering whether there is a way to get these installed on my phone (phone details below). I have seen the thread with all the pre-installed software from the HTC One X and tried installing these in /system/app/, setting the permissions to rw- r-- r--, but it did not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Phone Details:

Model number: HTC One X

Android version: 4.1.1

Baseband version: 2.1204.135.20

Kernel version: 2.6.39.4-cyanogenmod

CyanogenMode version: 10-20120820-a7-endeavoru

Please let me know if I have missed any information out

Thanks
[HTC One X] tomascus:
You won't be able to use any Sense application with senseless ROMs unfortunately.

Also regarding the battery, give it time to settle or try other kernels - but in my experience, CM10 did not have as great battery as sense ROMs.
[HTC One X] Sukh1983:
Hi tomascus,

Thanks for the prompt response. I will keep an eye on it see if it improves, otherwise try flashing another kernel.

Thanks
[HTC One X] alexx_za:
On a7 i'm having the same problem, but that might be cause i'm playing with my phone to much :D

I've loaded a the faux123 07b4 kernel this morning to see if that will help with my battery drain, some how i think don't think it will cause i've just gone from 45% to 33% running Atutu benchmark tool 3 times (playing with cpu gov setting) but i'll let you know if it's working for me :)

As for the HTC apps on non sense rom, i know that most of the HTC apps require libraries that aren't in the non sense roms... it "might" work if you get a list of the depandancies for those apps and place them in the correct location on your phone where they are required. how to get that working you'll need to locate someone that knows what they're doing.
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
You cannot use Sense apps on Senseless ROMs

About battery drain, check which app is draining most of the battery - use Better Battery Stats app - u can get what is causing high battery drain

or Alternatively use Custom Kernel, like faux, franco or Trip's 3.1 kernel{ now works on tbadlen's ROM too }

Check if you have autosync on or not?

so im having some kind of trouble with my HOX.. when its just sitting on my desk it wakes itself up every now and then, sometimes very frequently and sometimes not.. with no specific pattern.. when im working on my laptop i just notice the screen turns itself on and then goes back to sleep.. i dunno whats causing it and its starting to get really annoying!! it's been happening for 2 days now, im running viperX 2.. any ideas on what may be causing this?

PS. i didnt install anything or change any settings before this started to happen

thanks in advance
[HTC One X] zopostyle:
Same issu here... I think that all custom roms has this problem... But I was told that could be a recovery problem(because it also wakes up when charging) so I'm using AOKP(v1.2 AWESOME battery life now) with TWRP recovery (I was using CWM)... Tonight I'm gonna check if it still waking up itself.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The recovery has little to do with the running ROM. Clockworkmod switches on the phone when nearly charged.

The phone waling and screen.coming on is much more likely to be a rogue app.

I just tried everything..

With any custom rom and custom recovery, the phone wake up itself when charging off...

[HTC One X] Waseem Manneh:
I noticed there is some kind of pattern, the screen all of a sudden starts to turn itself on and off slowly and then faster and then it reaches a point where it stays on for about 10 seconds and then goes back off for a while.. it's very strange !! i've been using viperX for a long time and this never happened... at first i thought it was the productivity lockscreen notifying me of new emails or smth but that wasnt it... i only have google apps, xda app, facebook and chrome.. could it be one of these?? maybe its an app that uses internet because i noticed it happens much less or sometimes doesnt happen at all when i turn wifi off
