[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsantoz:
Hello guys,

I have a problem with my Xperia Arc that I cannot find the answer on the forums.

My ARC is originally from MOVISTAR Spain and, after unlocking has been working great with VODAFONE Portugal.

Now I´m changing to TMN and that´s where the problems started. I´ve keept the same number (91) and therefore I went trough a "Portability" process to TMN. Last Friday the process was completed and my VODAFONE SIM card was disconnected.

TMN delivered me a SIM card to exchange. As soon as I did it the phone recognizes the SIM card, I put the PIN number and apparently all is OK.

But, there´s no network signal, and I cant make or receive phone calls or SMS. Everytime I try to call it says "Out of service area". This SIM card works normaly on my wifes LG Optimus Black.

My phone works at 100% with VODAFONE SIM cards and doesn´t work with TMN SIM cards. Despite it´s unlocked I´ve unlocked again the bootloader via Wontanserver. No sucess!

Strange thing though... I have 3G internet signal and I can navigate the web. Cant make phone calls or send SMS!!! Please Help!!!

Thanks in advance guys for any contribute.

When you say you unlocked it do you mean unlocked the bootloader or you also sim unlocked?

I unlocked it via Wontanserver. This service says it unlockes the bootloader and the SIM lock.

Already did! The TMN SIM card works on another phone, not in mine! :(

On my phone works VODAFONE SIM cards (tried various) and the TMN SIM only works for 3G internet connection, not phone calls or SMS...:eek:

HELP

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've read somewhere that this was fixed in another case by putting an unlock code.

Do you know if this can solve my problem? If so, where/how can I get this "unlock code"?

Thanks again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0higher:
wontanserver server removes both sim and bootloadel lock, there`s no question there. now, since you have an unlocked bootloader, why don`t you try and flash kernel again ? or try and flash the stock rom, maybe you have some MOVISTAR crap and somehow block your calls, though i doubt that ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsantoz:
Thanks for your reply. I've already reinstaled the ICS latest update trough PC companion, which "cleaned" my data. And... no luck there.

Does this process equals flashing kernel or stock rom? If so, I can always flash a diferent rom or kernel, do you recomend that?

Thanks for your help m8. I'm really in a jam... :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0higher:
except from vodafone sim cards, is there another sim that work ? are you positive you`ve made the right steps when you unlocked you`re bootloader ? try other sim, except form vodafone or TMN, make sure you don`t have some kind of network lock.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsantoz:
Yes, all sim cards work great with TMN sim cards as exceptions. I've tried old and new TMN sim cards. No luck! 3G signal for internet but no service for calls or SMS.

I´ve ordered a CHECKMEND report to see if my IMEI could be blocked/blacklisted by TMN and it came out with 0 problems!

Have tried ti change baseband, kernel and ROM, unlocked via WONTAN and... nothing! Now I'm back to stock ICS and stuck with the same issue... :crying:

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi need help My Razr XT910 Got Wet and i dried it for almost a month and the phone turns on again but the problem is the Menu, Home, Back, Search buttons are not responding but there are times they are working but its like got a mind of its own... that the phone is pressing the buttons by itself is there anyway to fix this? i tried to disconnect and cleaned it with a lighter fluid and reconnect the screen but its still doing it.

Thanks In Advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maddrocx:
Did you try immersing the entire phone in 99% isopropyl alcohol? That will displace any remaining moisture and is safe for electronic components
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BodjPrime:
uhm not yet how do you do that? do i need to remove the battery also?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] silentjet:
Could you please research how works you SIM-card lock ? I ask cause I had broke it in past (by using thicker SIM card) and want to repair it somehow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maddrocx:
Ya remove the battery and immerse just the phone, leave it under till all air bubbles stop floating then shift it around a bit to ensure all air is displaced and let it sit for about 30 seconds then pull it out and hang it at an angle to drain and dry for a while don't use a hair dryer only use like a fan or something. That should do the trick.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BodjPrime:
oh ok thanks, is that the reason why my for softkeys not working because they are still wet?.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maddrocx:
Most likely
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
I don't think you even need to remove the battery, the reason rubbing alcohol is safe is because it doesn't conduct electricity, you could even boot the phone submerged, what you want to remove is any rubber or material that could get dry and crunchy. I've never been able to find 99% the highest I've found has been 97%, but it still works
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BodjPrime:
oh ok... now all i need to do is to check which are the rubbers, the only one i know is the one on the battery
[Motorola Droid RAZR] distortiondale:
I know this post is old but anyone looking for 99% isopropyl alcohol it's used in the graphic arts (in some printing presses). You can get it cheap through a graphic arts supplier. Research the prices because some suppliers like U-Line overcharge for it. Also you may get stuck paying a Hazmat fee if it's shipped. Check your local listings for a graphic arts supplier or maybe a print shop that can sell it to you to avoid the Hazmat fee. NOTE: isopropyl alcohol may harden and or damage some rubber/plastic parts. Personally I would try replacing the part's from a donor phone first. I would only try isopropyl alcohol as a last resort.

My ole lady's menu key stopped working and I'm thinking its due to some drool n slobber from a baby... Getting a new screen assembly it out of the question...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] life isgood:
I've heard that putting the phone in a bag of uncooked rice will work too, although I'm not sure it will work as well as the alcohol (although it may be easier). Here's some more info on ways to save a wet phone: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/tips/4269047

It is based on new Machine Learning technology that tries to learn what apps you might find interesting based on the apps you have installed and use. We believe that this will make it stand out in the rather crowded field of app recommenders.

We try to tailor the recommendations based on the current context like time of the day, location etc. We are also planning some nice features for the coming release so stay tuned.

Titanium Backup app did not work, did no see root. So i went back to CWM recovery an install SuperSU.zip.

Please help??????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eleazargray:
I have the same problem and really need some help. The phone won't turn on no matter what I try. I was trying to update a nightly rom and kernel to 4.2.2 and gapps. So I selected all 3 files, when it got to the gapps install, it wasn't installing gapps, I must have clicked a different folder by mistake. It said update.zip

The phone then said It was updating to clockwork mod from twrp. I was using TWRP and I'm sure this is what caused this problem. Is my phone bricked? What can I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Same thing happen to me you might have to get into download mode and restore from there. I flashed twrp over cwm one time and my phone would not boot so i got into download mode and fixed it.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

Does anything show up at all? Even a white line across the screen when you try to turn it on? If you can't get into recovery get into download mode and it can be fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eleazargray:
Problem is I can't even get into download mode. Nothing happens when I plug it in. Nothing shows on screen. It's completely dead..

Am i screwed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
You can buy a usb download jig for 5 bucks on amazon or ebay it will put your phone in download mode automatically if its not fried. By the way how did you try to get into download mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eleazargray:
Yea i just ordered a Jig. I took out the battery, held the vol+ and - and then plugged in the usb to computer. But nothing happened. I waited a good minute.

Hopefully the jig saves me. If not are there any other options? Should I sell the phone for parts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
What does computer say when the phone is plugged in? If it says QHS_USB_DOWNLOAD that is not good at all. You can try mobiletechvideos site they fix alot of bricks. But yeah if you have to you can sell the parts . People on craigslist sell them all the time and there is places like usell.com that buy them. If you have a warranty you can send it in and just say you received a notice to update and when you did it never booted again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eleazargray:
Nothing at all happens. Its completely dead. Ill await the jig and report back with results.

Try Downloading a Custom ROM for CWM and Install a good CWM trough Odin. After flashing it will boot into CWM and then install the custom ROM. So you have a working phone.

Have you stopped all Kies processes during flashing with odin? Have you a Nandroid Backup from a stock rom?

First Read the rules. You are not allowed to bump a thread in less than 24 hours.

Secondly Read the all in one thread. It is not hard to find, it's the first thread in this section

EDIT

Are you sure you read all the thread?

No, not on this firmware but it is possible to get that firmware with root via downgrading to .303 (ICS), rooting with Bin4rys method, installing recovery and flashing a rooted .489 ROM.

No

Why would you not root if you unlock your bootloader? Unlocking your bootloader is done to allow flashing of custom kernels, all of which are rooted. After unlocking your bootloader your warrenty is void, but you could root the phone and keep warrenty. And all custom roms are rooted so once you flash a custom ROM you have root....

[HTC One X] chrisredmayne:
Hi, I have an HTC One X and it has a really poor wifi connection! If Im not in the room with the router it hardly works! The route is in the bedroom but I want to use the HTC Media link on my TV in the front room but as teh wifi is so low it keeps disconnecting and hardly works...

Would something like this work?

TP Link TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router

Would I just plug that box in the front room and it wouls strengthen the signal there?

I have a PS3 in that room there too? Notice that there is a repeater option... Would this work when the PS3 is on stand by?
[HTC One X] sexyhyde:
Yeah it would work, but you'd need ethernet into it from the other router. I just bought an old wifi router from the local car boot for £1-2 and used powerline adaptors to bridge my two floor gap as ethernet would have been more expensive and required a serious amount of work to route it nicely, stupid house!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cdnron:
I have a question regarding [ROM/MOD]*TheCollective*[02-26-13] AoCP - CP5<VBTE> {4.2.2} for i717

In review videos I have seen an AoCP options section in Settings but I have flashed this build and do not have that option. Is this deliberately missing in this build?

EDIT:

So far so good with this ROM but I have another question/concern regarding this ROM. So far it's been the most stable ROM I have used, other than stock, but I really do not like the orange system UI. I'm sure some people love it but since blue is my favourite colour, I love the "stock" blue of most Android ROMs and wish there was an easy way to change this. The OP for the AoCP ROM states that there are AoCP themes available in the market but they are all paid themes. I don't think I should have to pay to get my ROM back to stock look. This seems like a cheap nickel and dime scheme. I would much rather donate more money to the AoCP project than pay $0.99 for something that should come stock. Give people the option to pick the orange or blue theme in the theme chooser.

I am not trying to bash AoCP developers, I appreciate the work they have done on this ROM since it is the most stable one I have used (plus it's 4.2.2 while Rogers is stuck on 4.0.4 and still waiting for 4.1.2!), we just shouldn't have to pay not to have the ugly orange UI. This UI would be great around Halloween but other than that, stock blue please! If AoCP does this I would donate more money to their cause rather than buying a $0.99 theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
to answer your first question it is missing due to this being an early build of 4.2.2 and they haven't gotten everything added in that they want.

The second question: it is their rom and they like the orange color. There is no where that says you have to flash their rom on your phone. They can make it whatever color they want. There are plenty of other theme chooser themes out there that are free that you could apply to the rom, or you could find another rom that suits your color needs. here is a thread on xda that has many themes to choose from
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cdnron:
Hi,

Thanks for the input. I was wondering why these options were missing because otherwise, it's not really different than CM 10.1, other than being a lot more stable thankfully, which is definitely worth it!

I agree that they can choose whatever colour that they want for their ROM BUT orange is a colour that you have to really love for a system UI. You don't see Apple, Google, Windows Phone or BlackBerry using orange for their default UIs and that's because it is something that most people will not like. The problem I have is that to get my stock UI colour back, I'm expected to pay them for this. I would much rather donate $10 to their cause as opposed to being nickel and dimed for a $0.99 theme. It wouldn't be hard to give users the choice to switch to the default blue UI. Browsing through the ROM thread, there are many people unhappy with the orange UI. Also, I just want the stock UI, not different icons/fonts/etc. Thankfully with Nova Launcher I can get rid of the ugly orange icons and use the stock Jelly Bean ones but I still get stuck with the rest of the orange UI. Even if I use another theme from someone else, it doesn't get rid of all of the orange. AoCP has deeply embedded the orange UI into every possible place and other themes don't fully get rid of this. So, to fully get rid of it, you have to pay them and like I said, I would pay them MORE to support them rather than have to pay to get rid of the orange. It's simply the principle of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The developers make stuff for themselves because they can do that stuff. They only have to please themselves.

They share their work with us, and we can enjoy it or not.

Would it be ok to go to Michelangelo and say "Thats a pretty girl with a nice smile, but most men like blondes. Redo her with blonde hair."

Pay the buck for the theme and stop complaining. Artists are tempermental -- we don't want to lose our developers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cdnron:
Comparing a developer to Michelangelo is a stretch of the imagination. I appreciate their hard work but developers only have to please themselves if they truly make it for themselves. Once they release it to the public, it's fair game for criticism. I think they would gain more support and donations if this simple change was implemented. Leave the default theme orange but let the user decide via the theme chooser. Like I said already, I would donate more than the $0.99 theme price if this happens.

Even if I do pay them for one of their themes, none of them truly offer the stock experience, which is what I am looking for. One of the reasons why I install ROMs is because I don't like the Samsung stock ROM. I like the vanilla Jelly Bean interface. I also like the modifications that Paranoid Android does with changing the DPI of individual apps but it has proven to be unstable, rebooting multiple times a day. So far, this is the only ROM that has been truly stable so far and my only real problem with it is the orange UI, as other people have voiced as well.
