Network issue

After a day of testing, I think I figured it out what breaks the signal...

To me, everything works fine after phone restart. The signal is ok with wifi on and off. When the wifi is off, mobile internet works, but when I switch network mode, then it breaks.

It doesn't matter what mode I'm changing, but somehow it cant connect to the network again. Then the only solution is phone restart.

Hope this helps in finding the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
As for me, I usually don't use wifi, I don't change network modes and it still breaks. And restart doesn't fix it, only time does (usually like half an hour).
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
I use WiFi and network switching and the mobile signal is always OK so I'd exclude this is the cause of your problem. ..
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] chil3r:
New thoughts:

Mobile signal is working while mobile traffic is off. As soon as I turn mobile data on (2g or 3g), it breaks the signal within a minute. Now I use the phone without mobile data, just with wifi, and it is ok. Sometimes it looses signal, very rare, but it comes back quickly.

So, signal is broken when mobile data is turned on, I didn't realise that before. It means that actual problem is MOBILE DATA.

Vanir updater process

Hi all,

very nice Vanir ROM this far but after updating to latest nightly 17/6, the Vanir Updater cached process keeps running on 100% at the notification bar, looking like its downloading something but its not. Tried killing the process, clearing caches (dalvik) etc. even disabling the app. But after reboot the process appears in the notification bar again and again.

Anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] stynos:
I have the same thing... Can't get rid of it, but I did get used to it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] aktuls:
It just keeps downloading at 100% and randomly quits and pops up again... When you can't see it in settings -> about phone -> "updates" because it is disabled. Also it is not running as service and not a cached process. Weird.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] geko08:
Had the same problem. Wiped step by step, uninstalled the updater ... - every reboot the same again. You can start new downloads by updater and update the ROM, it doesn't help. So I think it's a "lost" command to show the message or something like this.

Anyway:

After Clean Install (formatting system, cash and data) I have my XCover like new with so much free storage in every category I've never had before.

And the problem doesn't occure again.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonome:
I had the same issue when the phone memory was full so updater try to download and stop it because no space but notification is still there. To remove the notification you can long press this notication and click "App info" it opens "App info" for Download Manager and if you click on Clear Data the notification disappears.

Hope this help (sorry for my poor english)

I even flashed clean install on the road, but nothing! When I got home, it miraculusly fixed itself! LOL

This issue is very troubling me, so I have to go back to JellyBean,

I have CM11 and the latest Nightlies with GAAPS 4.4 mini modular!

The Rom works fine everything works.

Can anybuddy implant a feature ext2SD that works (so that we can install apps to sd)?

That would be the best way to send apps to sd and keep smal memory free on xcover2.

I use Link2SD Plus and if i move Internal datas to sd the app crashs after restart and you could reinstall the app.

The app installer say there is not enough memory.

But if i install an other app from playstore it would be fine, install an other app from sd card woks fine even if these are biger then the crashed app i would reinstall.

The problem is only if you link internal datas from apps.

There is no way to install the crashed app again.

You must make a full wipe then it goes.

Is this a fail by Rom ore by link2sd plus?

Have enyone the same problem with link2sd and internal data?

Have anyone a clue to fix this?

Sorry for my bad english!

App Ops?

Hey,

the ROM works very well! THX!!! :good:

Maybe it would be a good idea to unlock App Ops in one of the next Versions?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
Today I tried upgrading to the latest official ROM with all its parts (i.e. modem.bin included) hoping it could fix the signal issues. I used this latest Czech ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=2972 , flashed everything via heimdall (without repartitioning), wiped the data, booted it, made sure everything works, flashed latest TWRP, wiped the data, flashed some few days old build somebody confirmed as working, flashed newest paranoid gapps for 4.4.4 and booted. Well, before this mumbo jumbo I had the data working, only very unstable. After the upgrade the phone could no longer see just any network and there was no IMEI in settings. Howevere I left it like that for only like 10 minutes, maybe the signal would had appeared if I'd left it on longer. After I reflashed the stock ROM everything was working fine.

Unjustified Dev, maurensen or anybody else who has no signal issues: could you please tell me which country do your phones (or their firmwares) come from? I'd like to test if reflashing the modem would fix the issues but I don't have enough time for testing firmwares for every single region.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
My country is Italy and again signal is OK for me vith Vanir. if you need other info let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
Thanks. There seems to be two firmware versions for Italy - one generic and one branded for the carrier named TIM. I see you are on the XXAMB6 baseband. I'd like to get to your configuration as close as possible.

At first the ROM is the best one for xcover2 Thanks for that work!

Now you can help me a little please.

I have no app with name app remainders or something else in data/data on internal memory (i use Root Explorer ES Data Explorer)!

Or do you mean to delet the folder of the app that i linked?

Could you please give a short instuction what i have to delet?!

And the other question is delet before link the internal data with link2sd or after that?

Thanks anyway for trying to make superb rom for our phones!!! :highfive:

Network problems in Profile Modus

Here is a Tip (just an Idea to Test)

If you have problems with Network!

Do not use in Profiles Mobile Data Deaktivate or Aktivate this is the Problem.

If you use Profiles then it makes Problems if you make a hook at Mobile Data Aktivate or Deaktivate.

Please test this at my Phone it cause the Problem (sometimes) that i have no Network to make a call or send an sms when there is a hook (sometimes the phone boots with no end).

Please Test this situation!

I just say if someboddy use Profiles i think the Networkproblems could be from the profile thingy.

I never had any Networkproblems befor i use the Profile Thingy.

Now i have reset the Profile Thingy and use just Standart Profile and no modifikation on Standart Profile now Network is just fine for me.

It is just an Idea to test because many people use Profile Thingy it is very helpfull if it work!

Sorry for my bad English i hope everyone could understand!

[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
I never used the profile thingy and yet I had lots of network connection and data problems... I don't think those two are connected.

Network problem

Hi, i bought xcover 2 device fifteen months ago. Samsung stock software is not just my favorite. I started to look for better ROM. At first i found Fixo cyanogenmod modified for this smartphone, when developing was finished, i found Vanir. I flashed every versions Fixo ROMs (CM10.1 - 11), after all nightlies versions Vanir ROMs, meanwhile compiled flxo CM11.0 rom from TeamCanjica, but never worked mobile signal (calling and SMS sending). In very rare cases signal appeared for few minutes (only call and sms, no internet access), after bye bye, disappeared forever. I tried everything, what i found on net: all CWM and TWRP versions for this device, preflashed all stock ROMs, wipe dalvik, cache...everything, format everything, backup and restore EFS, miscellaneous modems, waiting hour, two, three..., change, delete and create APN, turn off, remove battery, SIM, SD, put all back and power on, dial many various combinations of numbers and characters, Different SIM cards, locked and unlocked SIM, persuading, threatening and many another procedures that i forgot. Nothing helps. I frustrated, because ROM (except problem with network signal) works perfectly. I hope, that problem will fixed soon.

i have never used "in Profiles Mobile Data Deaktivate or Aktivate" therein not problem, i think.

I am from Czech Republic. Vodafone carrier.

I really don't know what happened, but I have mobile signal in Vanir working! (T-mobile, Czech republic).

I tried to flash Vanir, but i had no signal, so I flashed stock rom back (signal was ok). In stock rom I backed up /modemfs and /efs to external sdcard. Than I flashed Vanir, deleted content of /modemfs and /efs and put my backup there. After reboot I had no baseband. After flashing stock firmware I had no baseband too (so I had no signal). Than I flashed Vanir again and in adb shell I run:

su
rm -rf /efs/*
rm -rf /modemfs/*
cp -r /sdcard/backup/efs/* /efs/
cp -r /sdcard/backup/modemfs/* /modemfs/
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot

Could this be some permission problem? When I restored /modemfs and /efs from backup, it had owner root:root.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] joywork:
Hi, please put here guide of whole process from backup to restore /efs and /modemfs. I tried it, but backup and restore i copied by file manager inside phone only. I think, that permisiions i no changed. I use Linux only. Very thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tpikalek:
Hi, I think it does not matter if you use PC or file manager (if you have root). Try to copy /efs and /modemfs from stock ROM to sdcard (I recommend backup it from card to PC, these files are quite important, they include your IMEI). Then flash Vanir, delete content of /efs and /modemfs and copy it back sdcard. Turn on USB debugging and root. On your PC run "adb shell" and write:

su
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot

But I'm not sure this will help, because I'm not sure if I didn't to something else that could matter.

No I have S7710XXAMB6 baseband and signal is stable, I can make calls and send SMS without any problem.

Great ROM, thank you! Only problem I have is with bottom part of touch screen. If i turn navigation bar on and off, problem is gone. But I have to do that after every restart. Can you please fix that?
