I have been doing extensive testing to try and figure out why us folks in central pa lost texting on aosp roms on 2/20. I downloaded an app called android system info. I launched it on TW(where texting always works) and CM(where texting doesn't), Went to telephony tab and found something rather interesting. The network operator name for TW rom is Verizon Wireless and for CM it's Roaming Indicator Is Off. If you change the ERI file or use an xposed module to removing this from the notification area which it does but never does it change the hardcoded network operator name.

I am thinking for some reason on Central PA towers that they are enforcing the Network Operator name to be correct or it won't allow texts to go through. The reason I know Verizon is actually getting the texts I send because I sent like 15 in a row they all in CM act like they didn't send. I immediately restored back to TW and I received all 15. Something in the CM code (why only for Central PA) which seems like its the network operator or some other similar setting needs to be changed to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mron87:
I am having the same issue in central Virginia sms only works on tw rom but mms works fine on aosp so if I select the same person twice it converts to mms and sends fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
How did you make out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
Defeated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
This is the most stumping issue I have seen in my life. Almost a month later I still can't text on aosp. I can't wait until next September I'm dropping Verizon. I have had Verizon for years but miss the openness to buy any unlocked gsm phone on AT&T and I never had this stupid issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Still unable to send texts on aosp only. Any devs can answer why TW roms allow testing but aosp roms don't for 717 /570 / and parts of VA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
I am in the 443(Baltimore area); I have no Idea what is going on, I still can't text. This is very frustrating that none of the dev are even saying if they are investigating or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mron87:
I was able to fix it last night and it has held over 12 Hours and many reboots. Here are the Steps I took.

Restored back to stock with my original 4.1.1 backup I made right after I unlocked the bootloader reflashed twrp 6.2.3.2 and did a factory reset from the ROM settings not recovery, if you don't have it odin should work. The important part I think is when verizon setup wizard provisions the phone. After I got to the home screen I went to twrp and did a clean install of carbon kk nightly and I tested messaging it work for several messages.

Then I made an nvback up in terminal using "reboot nvbackup" (this will give you a new nvbackup just in case you have this issue again and don't want the hassle of wiping EVERYTHING).

This is the tread that got me thinking about the provisioning I can't take credit for it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2657822

I do know that you can't restore your old back up I did and i had the texting problem again. I assume if you do not restore your efs partition or modem it would work but I am not sure maybe some will test it.

I hope this helps let me know in the tread if it worked for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
What phone do you have? I never heard of NVbackups for Note 2. Only S3 devices.

With that said I have tried the above several times and this does not work on Note 2 devices. You can return the phone back to stock and format everything all day long. Texting only works on TW roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yooeee:
Nvbackup is on s4. Probably on note
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mron87:
I have a note 2 from Verizon this article has some information. I can't post outside links but it was from droidview

I think its the efs data is what needs to be restored To fix the issue and then make sure you don't restore over it.

I experienced the issue starting Feb 20 and after those steps it is working ymmv
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Made an NV backup on TW(texting worked through several reboots), wiped everything went into latest CM and texting was broken, did nvrestore the phone rebooted and texting barely worked for like 2 mins and then died again.

I'm at a loss. I appreciate your suggestion though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mron87:
Did you do a factory reset from inside TW in the settings menu then allow the Verizon setup app run its course before going into recovery to flash cm11 I think that was the key for me if so I have nothing else to offer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yup I forgot to post that but yes I did :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Still no resolution insight to this issue. I have tried everything. Vzw step up to the plate and fix this for VA and PA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
All the folks trying to get aosp texting working who have been following my thread please PM me your phone number I'm going to let VZW know everyone on here who is having issues so I can have some engineers work on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncwildcat:
So you are telling Verizon you run custom aosp Roms?? Hope you don't have unlimited data...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingtrini82:
Man this sucks but hopefully there will be a fix down the line I miss my rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Nope no unlimited data lost it last year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncwildcat:
That's good..hate to see them take it away for something broken on their end. I'm watching the multiple AOSP threads hoping this gets fixed, want to run some KitKat but I travel for work and can't be without SMS. Never know where I'll be going, and since it seems to be regional can't take that chance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chameo53:
Possible Fix to SMS problem

Not sure where everyone who was following this thread ended up with the SMS issue but I found a "fix" that has now allowed me to use SMS consistently at least on the Pac-man nightlies - which has components of CM and AOSP where those of us have had problems with SMS not sending. I had posted another thread here but figured I'd loop back here.

The link to my thread and solution:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Got them backed up locally and on Dropbox because I have had the issue come back. It seems to only come back if you flash tw and aosp back and forth. If you stay on aosp than your good.

Can you help me with step 5. What does wiping everything raw mean? I take out my 32gb card and do my rom installs with a 2GB card. I usually wipe everything including internal storage whenever I ROM my phone. Is this OK? We can do a complete wipe/format of data?

Yes wipe everything but external SD.

wiping

Sorry new to all this and I'm just wondering what do you mean by wiping clean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wetzel402:
I would take it to mean no dirty flashing but if I'm wrong on that someone please correct me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBoyTexas:
So your saying to just factory reset and what's a diety flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wetzel402:
If you're not familiar with wiping properly and dirty flashing maybe you should be sticking to stock ROMs. With that said, according to the OP you should be using the advanced wiping feature of your recovery to wipe all partitions multiple times to ensure a good clean format. As for dirty flashing, that would describe flashing over an unclean or "dirty" partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBoyTexas:
Thank you for that and I'm still learning how things work soonow I will get better

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shuflie:
Your options at the moment are to either contact vodaphone, send your phone off to IMEI check (£60+shipping), contact motin here on the forum (£40 and no need to send off your phone) or wait until buzz can crack the unlock (check the unlocking thread in the universal upgrading forum for details on how this is progressing)

As for Buzz, it a just wait and see when he releases the unlock porgram, there's a long running thread in the Universal upgrading forum, and when its ready I'm pretty sure it will hit the front page news section.

Friend of mine at work has an ATT Galaxy S3 that he said was running CM10 fine. He said that he flashed CM11 recently and that the phone boots and runs fine, but will not read his SIM card. Is this a known issue, or where should I start to help get him up and running again? I'm pretty android savvy, but I've never owned/worked with the S3 so I am not familiar at all with it specifically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Does the phone display the correct IMEI and baseband? Maybe an updated modem is required?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dohclude:
I asked him about it and he said that it's not showing any information under system properties for the baseband or anything. I he said that he also first flashed the bootloader from here as well as the latest CWM recovery before flashing the M3 milestone snapshot of CM11 (from here). I had him flash a different rom (pac-man rom) just to test and the same issue occurred, so I believe it could be an issue with the modem as you said.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to move apps from the internal storage to the external sd card on the Asus Memo Pad 8 (ME180A)?:confused:

This device has an 8GB internal storage with only 4+GB usable. It would be great if apps can bestored into the external sdcard (in this case the card once installed, it would be left in place an not be removed anyway..)

Appreciate any insights and tips on this matter. Thanks :)

Well I have had a Chromecast for some time now. I have been lurking for some time now but can't quite figure out what is the best solution for me.

Here is what I am looking to do.. I have quite a few workout dvd's that the Wife and I use, Yoga and the such. I want to eliminate the need to use the dvd player... my goal is to have everything ripped to my desktop, then use my phone to control what is displayed on the chromecast? especially since i have multiple chromecasts.....I just can't figure out what combination of apps I need to accomplish it... I have used ALLCast but the video will mess up during streaming... (Galaxy S3)

I am assuming I need some sort of media server service running on my desktop..(Plex?)

Any thoughts or suggestions would be great!

cdrshm
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Rip the DVDs to MP4 files on your computer using some video tool like Handbrake. Enable the DLNA server function in Windows if you haven't already, and add your video folder as one of the shared media folders. Install BubbleUPnP on your Android phone. Select your computer as the source, Chromecast as the destination. Select your desired video and cast it to the Chromecast, controlling it with BubbleUPnP.

Plex is certainly an alternative, but you would have to install and set up Plex Media Server on your computer, and currently you have to pay $4/month for Plex Pass to use Plex with the Chromecast. For what you want to do the above combination is simpler and free.

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
+1 to DJ!

Only thing I would quibble with is I'm not sure the Windows Media DLNA is a very good option but it is free and requires no installation.

Bubble requires SOME DLNA server since it does not have this function built in yet and instead aggregates media from other sources.

Something I suspect Bubble will soon add to it's arsenal!
[Google Chromecast] indiscriminant:
You can also browse files in the chrome browser, such as your movie folder. And simply cast from that. Works instantly, easily, casts in the same quality the file is in, and requires no additional software or set up.

For instance, my data drive is F, I just browse to file:///F:/ on chrome, select my movies folder and start the video then cast from the browser.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
^^ That's tab-casting. While it works as long as your computer is fast enough, it has several issues compared to the recommended solution:

1. It puts a heavier workload on your PC due to Google's rather inefficient tab-casting code.

2. Even with a high-performance PC, the video tends to stutter a little when tab-casting.

3. It has to be controlled from the PC. The OP said that he has an Android phone he wants to use as the controller.

If the OP were interested in trying streaming from Chrome, he would be better off to use the newly-renamed Videostream extension for Chrome mentioned in another thread here. It offers much smoother performance than tab-casting.
