[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthLanda:
Hello,

I'm trying to help a friend of mine from Italy. She has a S2 which had the strange problem that phoning was not possible.

First thing I did was resetting the phone which didn't help. Then I flashed paranoid android and at first it worked with Italian Sim Cards.

The phone was left untouched for a few weeks. When I used it, the old problem was back. Then I tried flashing CM, didn't work. Then the Samsung Stock Rom for Italy, then for Germany, then a branded one (the original), downgraded version also. Still, it didn't work. Just the mobile internet worked. IMEI is not corrupted.

The really strange thing is that every time it worked with my German Sim Card - over Roaming. I could call someone and receive calls.

Technically speaking, there is just one modem for both roaming and national calls, right? But how is it possible that it doesn't work for national calls? I tried several providers, but nothing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
When you say 'mobile internet works', do you mean 3g or wi fi?

If you mean wi fi and not 3g....is it possible that the phone has been blacklisted or the sim blocked?

Have you tried searching for and selecting the correct carrier in the phones settings?

sent from either my Alliance powered S2 or my ArcoCM powered W via XDA Developers App
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthLanda:
No, I mean 3G. I don't think it's possible, she bought it regularly in a shop and had suddenly this problem. But what could be a reason for banning it?

Yes, I tried to connect manually. Different carries are found, but it cannot connect to any carrier, it says try later!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
Check the battery.

Try some other battery you will be shocked to know that its caused due to battery loosing current and this especially happens on low charge levels

Read and understand the basics before you flash anything, the sticky guides in general forum have all the information you need.

Hi,

Could someone who is with Vodafone Australia post their settings for MMS.

I've set up GPRS and WAP and spoke with Vodafone support to get my MMS setup, but it does not seem to be working. It fails to send.

I'm using the latest O2 ROM where I have performed a soft reset before it customises, I have then run the two video phone CABs and the MMS shortcut cab.

I have the MMS folders available under Messages. I can create a MMS but fails to send.

I'm missing something and I would be interested to learn what.

Regards

Michael
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rarosalion:
There's a CAB file which simplifies things a lot (available from club imate). It will install all the settings for Vodafone MMS, and GRPS.

If you're still having troubles, I can post the CAB file - but I might not be able to do it till this weekend sometime. Unless someone else can post it first?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rarosalion:
Here's the CAB file I was talking aobut.

These are the settings as provided by i-mate, and they work perfectly for me!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] q-biq:
can you guys use vodafone live to ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rarosalion:
Yes and no.

I used settings from here:

and changed the useragent as documented here:

And I can browse vodafone live. As for downloading/streaming the video content - I'm still struggling!

Anyone else getting status 7 error installation aborted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XxlemonxX:
unfortunately i am aswell. Might be a bad download through a browser or something, about to try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrTomLegit:
I got it to install but I am not getting any data. Got a status 7 trying to flash back to Super Nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
You are the mutha freakin man Dastin!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moghie:
I'm getting the Status 7 Installation aborted as well :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
Installed great. Everything is working great with the exception of 3G data which does not work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
I think it's safe to say data is not working. Soon I'm sure though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
I used the recovery from hood pope ,flashed fine,had white status bar icons?.no data either.md5 checked out,the white icons throw me off ,should be blue right?but once ROM settled it was smooth.using WiFi when I connected to xda site had an error show up saying I choose to many pages,screen was shaking or glitching fast and browser force closed.maybe I should use a recovery like EL29 direct boot ?.what do you think dastin.oh and before I flashed I made a back up,the restore went fine,back on hood pope
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
Data not working but what can i say, its 4.4!! Either way its a win!!!!

Thanks dastin!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachf714:
status 7 comes from the fact that for the moment you need the latest cwm to install 4.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isanchez340:
awsome cant wait to test:victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
KitKat switched to white notification bar icons.

I agree that Wi-Fi works great as does everything but data (after a half hour of exploring cm11 I noticed that all the very minor issues smoothed themselves out)

I was also happy that I did a nandroid before flashing and would highly recommend the latest Hood Pope update to anyone that needs data in the interim).

Most importantly: THANK YOU DASTIN for everything you have done and continue to do. We're very, very lucky to have you here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
Great and awesome my man fantastic job I will test this on the uscc variant for you and report back glad to see this mate

Edit: am i the only one that is getting bootlooped every time i reboot and have to reflash the rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezie42:
Dastin you work wonders around here. Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daddyodizzel:
So now that I got this working on my S2 R760, is there a way to improve battery life. I know yes, it's a noobish question. It's just with this rom, I lose about 2% every 3 min, and that's just from opening hangouts to message folks... Any kind help will be very grateful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
Turn off the OK Google feature , reduce animation in developer options , make sure GPS is off when not in use, and probably dim brightness a tad bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
Please man help. I have no signal on any other 4.4 roms except yours . I don't know what's on team-hydra. Could you lay down some commits. :confused:

No problem. I'm just busy and skim through posts and miss things here and there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
Dastin just wanted to make you aware about the music/lock screen bug? When listening to mp3 and unlocking the screen as it unlocks the music volume goes full blast for a second or two. Also I'm getting phantom voicemail. Thanks for the awesome work as always. Do you want us to post logcats?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Other than the normal stuff ie: turn off gps, blue-tooth and other stuff unless needed, reduce or turn off any not animations, not really.

Roms tend to take time to settle in, so I'd give it a bit and see what happens. you also gotta remember when installing roms and apps and etc... battery life will get sucked dry as well.

From what I've seen as a standing rule, basically let the rom settle down and settle in.

If all else fails you may try a battery calibration, although I think that's just a placebo affect and possibly doesn't work....I don't wanna start an argument on this, just my opinion is all...there are HUGE threads about if this works or not, but it's never really been proven. (PLEASE don't start this debate here now) it's just my own opinion is all.

Also yes dastin, your awesome as is your work, I commend you for what you do.

Seems to be some hiccups, but hey it's doing well considering this is what, the 2nd release? and mostly all we seem to have are 3 things, phantom voice-mail, sound glitches and data/wifi swapping.....and for me the gps, which could be related to the data swap thing, dunno......if only other things went this well :).

I'd say get the data and wifi working, the rest can wait until that's fixed, data would rate the biggest priority

In the words of Harry potters Hagrid (with an insert of corse)..........Your a wizard dastin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
If you want to install the latest ad blocking hybrid in cwm it works on this ROM you just need to uninstall any Google apps you don't want to use first then boot into cwm and profit :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigSplit:
If it were possible for me to fall in love with another man, Datsin it would be you!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
That's kinda well, both distrubing and sweet at the same time :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
Anyone notice if MMS is working properly on 12/4 build? I know it wasn't working on 12/3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
SMS works for me in 12/4

Also want to add that installing a voicemail app takes care of phantom voicemail bug.

Also the mp3 lock screen bug hasn't happened to me using Apollo.

Cheers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbradf44:
tried flashing with both agats and cwm but both came up with "cannon open/(insert directory here)" (bad). im using the el29 cwm and i have an ics modem. am i doing something wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Fresh install or dirty?

I "always" do a fresh, doesn't matter if I just did it 5min ago, fresh always seems to be the best way......wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Not sure if this is the problem with yours, I haven't tried as I am at work right now, so I will give it a shot tonight.

Also sometimes a flash can go haywire, so may have to redo it.......possible download may be bad to. Just throwing ideas out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbradf44:
I always fresh as well. And i have checked the md5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
You need the latest cwm to flash 4.4 I just flashed the latest hood pope without gapps and before it boots up I boot into cwm. Then flash 4.4 and profit. Some have also flashed the latest blasphemy kernel to use its cwm as well. The choice is yours!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
For the voicemail issue, just clear data for phone app. Worked for me on other Roms, including this one. Thanks again [MENTION=3257303]dastin1015[/MENTION], great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Minor stuff

Just wondering if anyone else is able to navigate to and browse their external sd cards with any file manager and if so which one ? extsdc01 shows invalid path for me when I click on it .'ve tried ES file explorer and the native file manager to no avail . Also is google earth packaged in the full modular gapps ( pa gapps posted by op) working for anyone ? Earth will not run for me in that package . If I install the mini package and get it from the play store it works fine . Any known workaround to set camera app default storage to external sd card ? Data handoff working fine , great job Dastin .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
DPI

I can't seem to change my DPI from stock to 210. Is it even possible anymore on Kitkat?

I read an article saying it wasn't possible to change dpi anymore with kikat, is this true?

I miss tablet view..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] airesch:
SD Card: /external_sd works for me in ES Explorer and the native file manager if you set it to root mode (prompt probably works as well)

GApps: You need to use the mini or you don't have enough space to load the full GApps (and it won't give a proper error message telling you it didn't load everything.) Load whatever your missing from the play store after using the mini.

Camera: dunno, I don't fiddle with that ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Before I install, I'm curious about how well or not well gps it's working, without WiFi of course, 3g only
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Hmm , if I pick SDcard 1 it says invalid path even though it shows it listed , if I browse to external sd card folder under sdcard0 it shows no files at all . If I run gallery or music program will show and play pics and music from the card . Just can't actually go , see and manage any files on it .

I will flash back to the mini package again then if space is an issue but I have 1.8 gig free after the full package . As I understand it the camera is the Nexus camera and since Nexus devices don't have external sdcards they didn't program in an option for saving movies and pics to extsdc cards . If anyone else can weigh in on whether you can actually see the files on your external sd cards please do . thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
Root browser shows external sd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I just went out and tried GPS for you , didn't work at all but I applied an old procedure and it locked in like 5 seconds . and works fine . Do this exactly like I tell you and it will work 99 % of the time .

1.Download and install gps test

2. Go outside and run the program , watch for the birds for a minute or two and whether you have any or not turn on airplane mode .

3. click settings while in gps test and click on clear AGPS data , you should see a line pop up for about 2 seconds saying clearing agps

4. Immediately after that press your on/off button and reboot the phone

5. after rebooting turn off airplane mode and open gps test again . You should see the birds start popping up . It takes a little longer on 3g so be patient. It could take as much as 5 to 10 minutes .

6. after you have 6 to 9 birds in view (the more the better ) and in use and your locked good and strong , press settings again and select update agps data .

10 minutes ago usig this procedure I went from zero birds to 9 with a 5 second lock . That has worked for me since the stock days with this phone . Hope this helps but I'm confirming GPS is solid for me in the middle of nowhere with trees all around .

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Thanks ! That worked . Seems to be a permissions issue with ES File Explorer even though I have root enabled on it .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] airesch:
You need to go to the root of your phone "/", (outside of /sdcard or sdcard0) and go to external_sd (aka, your looking in the wrong place)

The 1.8gig free is a different partition, GApps doesn't flash there, it flashes to the .5 gig system partition and after the tiny i only have about 24mb free (which is not enough difference for even the modular.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I don't doubt that works I just know it doesn't for me, along with NUMEROUS other fixes. This exact same thing happened with cm9, and finally they just worked it out. Others had this issue as well. That gps fix is a temp fix for me anyways, so it works until you shut the phone off, or shut off the gps and go to another area, so it may work right then, it's only temporary.

I appreciate the help though, but it looks as if the dreaded good bug has poked it's ugly head up again.

I guess I'll have to stick with 4.3 for now, until it gets worked out. Ty for testing as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
It works permanently for me every single time . Even after shut downs . That's the whole reason for clearing out , updating and saving the AGPS data .

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Lol your right bro about the gapps and extsdc, I think in the past my sdcard1 path worked but anyway , thank you so much .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Well I guess the worst that can happen is it won't work, so wth, I'll give it a run again. I'll know for sure tomorrow as I go all over the city porting cars so it'll be a good solid test.

I'll let ya know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
I have working GPS. My process is as follows works every time. If ur having problems with gps already you should flash calks format all or jb_ format all zip then flash EL29 or GB27 (TW ROM). Update prl and profile. Get a gps lock in map, boot into safe recovery and install any aosp. Have fun locking! I have no problems with GPS with 4.4.

As long as you don't run a format all script between flashing Roms you'll have good GPS locks going forward on any rom. Most aosp roms come with angrygps installed anyways. That's far more superior than any market app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
I also have working GPS, no tweaks. Just installed Rom and it works!

I installed from GB27
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
I can reboot and go to any new location and get a lock. Its loading a new area in maps on 3g that sucks lol. I like to go into maps on wifi and download my entire city on maps to cache the map to help some. That way on 3g the map is mostly loaded already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] biglama:

Weather in cLock

My brother gave me his old galaxy s2 because he thought it was broken. Turned out it was just a bad usb port. Resoldered a new one and works somewhat well. Doesn't want to charge sometimes. I'm basically gonna use this phone as a development tool because I'm and HTC guy at heart but I've always wanted to see what Samsung is about.

Anyways, I do not have this device activated but I've been flashing different things here and there. I really wanted to try kit kat so I flashed this. I flashed the official 10.2 nightly before this. The weather in cClock worked even though I wasn't activated. When I fresh flashed to this the weather would not work. GPS works and I know WIFI works. I have all the location settings turned on.

I've been learning a lot about a lot in the last two days with samsung. First of all, I'm sorry for the loops you guys have to go through just to flash recoveries and kernels and such. A lot more difficult and confusing than HTC.

I did go ahead and downflash the modem before hand to and ICS modem FL24. Is there a way you can tell what modem you are currently running. Any help would be great. I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.0.

When I go to get the location in the New and Weather app, it works just fine even without WiFI on. My guess is I need to fresh flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsbuffalo:
I'm on a Stock rooted ICS ROM with AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.2.2. How do I install CWM 6.0.4.4? I'd like to install this ROM. However, having troubles installing the correct recovery to install this ROM. Tried to install one touch JB ROM but ROM gets stuck in boot loop. What steps to take?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
The only time I ever had GPS issues was when I used a format tool that formatted /system.

Now, most ROM install scripts also format /system, so, well, there you go.

But anyway, turns out I did not have a gps.conf file in /system/etc. Found a good one from XDA or another ROM, it's been a while, and Bob's yer uncle, I had perfect gps again.

So, I suggest if you have GPS issues, look in /system/etc for a gps.conf file. If you do not have one, find a known good one, copy it there then reboot.

Why I've only ever lost gps.conf when I manually formatted /system and never with a ROM install, I do not know.

I assume that some gps tools may write one for you and that is why the appear to fix it (well, do fix it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
You don't want to flash a one click JB because that would put you on a JB modem . You can flash the CM 10.2 Hood Pope and keep your ICS radio . That will also give you the cwm you want as well . Just make sure before you leave ICS your all provisioned up with data , talk and GPS working with updated prl and profile .I'm not to familiar with Agat as I usually install the el29 kernel to get custom recovery to start with .
