Data works

http://androidforums.com/threads/vi...rgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/

This APN zip fixed it for me and I'm on virgin mobile variant also and CM12.1 unofficial. Don't flash the other linked zip file cause that's just for kitkat. My data works fine but once in awhile, not often, when I switch between WiFi and data I need to enter settings and mobile network then access point names and click the bottom APN2 and it will reset back to the APN1 LTE above it. It's rare I have to do this and most of the time it switches from WiFi to data just fine on its own. I've been on Resurrection remix unofficial 12CM, official nightly 12CM and now on unofficial 12.1CM and the APN fix works on them all.

Plus on the switch using settings. It's quicker to just use the data link in your notifications to access the data settings directly. What your looking for is access point names.

Here's the link to the unofficial 12.1CM most current builds. You might flash the most current one without the APN fix and see if it works without it. I just flash it out of habit now but you can still go back and flash it at any time. I like 12.1CM better than 12CM anyway and I know it works because I'm on it right now and have been for a couple of months. Don't think Grarak is developing 12CM anymore anyway so why not try 12.1 since it seems to be getting updates.

Your link is badly posted, but easily fixed...

Can you say if it works with single sim EU, a5_ul? Its been borked since April....

Trying now anyway, shame this device got abandoned. No criticism intended to anyone, just a shame...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
Not sure about your phone version but I believe the single Sim versions are OK. It's the dual Sim variants that have allot of issues from what I've read. Yeah I'm bummed too about the lack of roms but it's not a flagship phone so I guess they get less love. The 12.1CM I linked to seems to be getting updated so that's good. By the way what is" badly posted but easily fixed" mean? I am new so I want to make sure I post correctly. Any help is appreciated and good luck with future flashing on your model phone.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
You have one too many http:// in it ;)

A5_UL. Since April, no ROM can receive texts or calls. Just not working(TM)

I can use other ROMs on 5.0.x but its too laggy in comparison so I'm stuck on 20150429 build from grarak.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
Thanks

OK, I see that now with the first link. That's weird I just copied and pasted like I always do but I fixed it manually instead. Yeah I had a texting issue too but it was corrected by using Textra messaging app. Haven't had the call issues so that must be a a5_ul issue. Hopefully you get a fix for the calls in a future build. Good luck and thanks for picking up that bad link for me.

So guys after coming off from IC (insert coin) due to two well known issues (no VM notifications, some minor bugs, no gps). I went ahead and dl CM12 (latest via cyrnogenmod site) and google apps. Installed and everything seems to be working so far. My Bluetooth works well and I'm not getting the various crashes or other issues I was getting with this before. I'm using the Virgin Mobile a5_ul version.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] steppinthrax:
So I went the extra mile and did the 12.1 with the gapps 12.1. It's working great too. One issue, no VM notifications. Someone calls, leaves a message and I get nothing!!!! I used to get VM notifications in the cynogenmod 12, but not in this one?

I have the Virgin Mobile a5_chl and have the same issue on #20150922 build but I just found this Virgin Mobile visual voicemail APK at the bottom of this post in Android Forum for 5.1 lollipop and just downloaded it and it all set up fine.

Hope I'm not being rude by butting in to your post but I've tried several gapps packages and personally I like these the best for 12.1 CM. Continuation of the official PA gapps and there is multiple package options and other good things I like about their installer. Sure there's other good ones. Just my 2 cents.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Always good to know... :)

FYI, on cm12.1 ROM instill have same breakage.

Going to ask a friend to get source code for 20150429 and subsequent unofficial cm12.1 build, just to see if anything obvious stands out.

Former one works, all latter ones have same symptoms for me:

- very slow sim detection and connection on each startup

- cannot receive SMS

- cannot receive calls

- 'dialer' crash on attempt to make call - 1st call goes through OK though.

I read through this post awhile back. I could never get the mobile data to fully work for me. I finally found a way that makes it work. The only issue is the data icon never shows, it just shows that I am roaming. Any idea if how to fix that icon?

I am on the latest cm12 nightly.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] steppinthrax:
I did that too. I did this with the insert coin rom that I used to use for a while. The visual voicemail sucks. It's a 3rd party piece of software that is loaded with advertisements. I remember the older version of (12) sent me a sms message every time I had a VM. Very good!!!!!

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

I spoke too soon about 12.1.

I use a bluetooth headset all the time. The bluetooth headset is unstable with this ROM. Occasionally after several minutes of phone inactivity the bluetooth will disconnect. Only way to get it work is reboot the phone!!!!! It will no longer see the bluetooth!!!!

The same thing happens with the mobile data. There seems to be mobile data, however after several minutes of inactivity it will disconnect. So if you have apps that use data, they will not get notification. Only way to get it back working is to enable/disable airplane mode.

My suspicion is this might have something to do with the APN fix. Is there a newer more up-to-date one?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
"the visual voicemail sucks! " TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN!

I haven't found a newer APN fix and I don't use Bluetooth much , except for headphones, but my brother has your same Bluetooth headphone issues with CM12.1 on his phone without an APN fix so I think it's built into the ROM. There's an app someone here recommended called Connection Stabilizer Booster that turns the data settings over to the app. From then you turn it on and off through the app though. You might try it. I sometimes have to manually activate data through 12.1 CM's network settings when I switch over from WiFi but I have a5_chl not a5_ul version of the 816. That Bluetooth issue is tough for all the headset users though.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] steppinthrax:
OK guys here is my verdict!!!!!

1. 12.1 = Sorry but sucks on my phone. I have to use the APN fix (recent one). Even then the connection is very unstable (4g) and barely works. The Bluetooth is also unstable and almost never works. I have to literally reboot my whole phone just to the Bluetooth connectivity back! The VM also doesn't work, unless you want to mess around with Visual VM... GPS works fully, Magnetometer work fully.

2. 12 = Works the best, but not all the way. The VM works, the APN fix is required and it's much more stable. The bluetooth still disconnects after some inactivity but it will at some point re-connect. If you have connection issues with 4g/Bluetooth, you simply enable/disable Airplane mode. Only other issue I see is the standard messenging app dosen't seem to work! When you pick a person and type something the little arrow to send ( > ) is grayed out!!! Every once and a while when the screen blanks out and comes back up, all the icons are gone, blank. I press everywhere even the power button, nothing happens. Within a few seconds the phone comes back... GPS works fully, Magnetometer works fully.

So what's the advantage of going 12.1??? I know the memory leak bug is gone!!! But what else are you getting.

Should i have to flash a Gapp after i install it or is it already built in...?

If i have to which version of gapps should i download...? like android 5.0, 5.1 ets...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
Type of gapps to use

If you flash the 12.0 CM then you need to flash gapps for 5.0. If you flash 12.1CM then you need to flash gapps for 5.1. Only stock sense based roms have gapps included. I use PA gapps from right here on XDA. Their updated regularly, have several packages to choose from i. e mini, micro etc... and the installer has some nice features I like but there are several kinds you can choose from I just like this one.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Also I'm running non stock 12.1 from this forum. Works good but still has the same quirks that all CM roms have with our phone but there's fixes and workarounds for most all of them. Bottom line is its stable.

What problems r u facing in CM...

in between i m on A5 dwg variant...

No voicemail notification, fixed by downloading sprints visual voicemail APK, clipping at max volume due to HTC stock beats and volume limiter not being there, moderated by using a lower volume as max volume, stock SMS app can't send texts, fixed by using Textra SMS app, data sometimes won't reconnect after switching to WiFi, fixed by going into data settings and resetting APN, Bluetooth connectivity issues, don't use a headset. That last one not a fix but it's all I've got for that one.

I have the single Sim variant so if you have the dual sim I'd just stick with either sense based roms or the one version of Graraks 12.0CM that's stable for dual Sims. Heard a lot of people with the dual sim variants having a lot more issues with data connectivity than single sim versions but you can always try then go back to your nandroid backup for stock if you can't make it work for you. Always make a nandroid backup of your stock rom just in case.

Flashing this recovery didn't work either. I still had bootloops using this recovery.

This recovery also gave me an error when attempting to flash the two different GAPPS 5.1 packages that I have so even if I didn't get bootloops I wouldn't have any Google services or apps.

Also, there is no way to create or restore Nandroid Backups with this recovery.

I had to figure out how to get back to somewhere where I could flash the TWRP .img file to get my TWRP recovery back and then restore my Nandroid.

[Stable ROM found]

Hello all,

As many of you are using this ROM even development discontinued. I was still building the codes of this ROM and uploading that to http://www.letschat.pro/download but now i am no longer doing that because i found another ROM for this phone which is very stable for all variant including indian version dual sim. Below is the URL to forum. The forum has PAC rom and RR rom. Use RR rom only as that is latest.

Just got my Sprint HTC Desire 816. I would like to flash it to CM. But I have not done much with HTC devices before. Can anyone provide some insights on: (1) Do I need to worry about S-OFF in this process? (2) Does this phone support fastboot flash system.img?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
S off and fastboot support

Short answer is no to the first question and yes to the second. I assume your already rooted . What version of the 816 do you have?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] DamonBoboman:
No don't worry about S-OFF at all. Why do you have to flash a system.img, just install a recovery and your ROM by fastboot flashing a recovery.img?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
Oops, I misread that part to mean flashing the custom Rom. My bad. Good catch. I meant "yes" to flashing the Rom not a system image. Sorry, wxppro.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] wxppro:
Thanks for such quick responses. Much appreciated. For the second question - In the past I always use my Linux virtual machine to customize the /system folder to my liking and then pack it as system.img, and flash it. I know CM 12 is a good system, but just in case I want to do my own thing. I guess for the most part it is sufficient to use the custom recovery to flash a zip file.

Again, thanks.

First off I went and looked at your previous posts and from them I've surmised that you are alot smarter than I am but what I can offer you is if you need to bounce something off me regarding our model phone I'm happy to help. I've flashed most all the custom CM roms here to my phone at one time or another and dealt with all the little quirks and fixes that said roms have needed. Basically you can use all of my previous mistakes as a quick learning curve and just cut to the fixes.

Looks like I do need some help. Just flashed the phone to latest build of CM 12. But the phone reports "No SIM Card." Call and text works. In Settings --> About phone --> Status, it shows that the network is Sprint, ICCID is correctly reported. Mobile network is shown as disconnected though. I have tried to fool around with network settings through "*#*#4636#*#*" but it does not seem to help.

The phone is the Sprint prepaid version. I use RingPlus. It is working fine before flashing. My understanding is that CM flashing does not change profile/PRL etc. What can I try? Thanks.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
data not connecting

There's an APN issue with CM and our version phone so there's an APN fix zip file to flash after flashing your rom and gapps, so 3rd. The no SIM card will usually stay but ignore it it's just a bug in CM that causes it to show up. Once you have the APN zip flashed your data will work fine but sometimes when switching between Wi-Fi and data you might have to enter data settings and click on the the 3 dots in upper right hand side of data settings and click mobile networks then access point names then just select the bottom non LTE circle and it will reset back to LTE data and your good to go. Some people say to toggle airplane mode but I haven't tried that one yet. It usually switches to data fine most of the time but yeah every one in a while I have to do those steps.

http://androidforums.com/threads/vi...rgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/

Just flash the APN zip not the link to the SMS zip. That's for Kit Kat. That I fixed by using a play store app for texting. Stock won't let you send texts in CM. I use and like Textra but Google Hangouts works as well. Just read that you don't use Virgin Mobile but ring plus. That I'm not sure about if they use Sprints network like Virgin then maybe that APN zip would work for you but to be honest I don't know 100%. You can try it and see because it can't hurt anything as right now you have no data anyway.

Also below is a link to ringplus's APN settings if their different, which it looks like they are and you need to change then manually. I've just never done it manually but I believe on CM roms you can. I'll look through my settings to see but I'm on unofficial 12.1CM not 12.0.

Here's the link to the unofficial CM 12.1 that works for our phone , a5_chl and I checked in my data settings and yes there is a manual option to change the APN settings. It's the + sign at the top when you've entered the screen that shows your current APN settings.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] wxppro:
Thanks, thoctor. I will flash the unofficial CM12.1 you referred to. So, it has LTE working just fine?

Here is what I have observed so far regarding the official CM 12 on the Sprint version of HTC Desire 816 (A5_CHL). First, out of flashing, calls/text works just fine. The phone reports no SIM card found, although ICCID is correctly shown in "About Phone." But it seems to be more than an APN issue because I cannot select the CDMA mode to be RUIM at all. It stucks at NV. So, CM 12 does not fully recognize the SIM card. 3G actually works if the correct APN is set. It works with the Virgin Mobile APN but displays data roaming. Once I modified the APN to be Ringplus it still works and no roaming sign is displayed.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] thoctor:
Sorry I was reading up on RUIM and NV. My knowledge in the CDMA and GSM SIM thing is limited. I know our CDMA carrier, Sprint, uses our phones GSM SIM slot to handle the differences between the 2 versions but that's about all I know. I read up on RUIM and NV so I understand a little more about that now but not alot to be honest.

I do know that calls work in this Rom but outgoing texts do not in stock messaging app. LTE works, I checked in about phone in settings to verify LTE, but for me only when I flash that zip fix. CDMA is the same, stuck in NV mode so it's the same as 12.0CM that you flashed. I only use Bluetooth headphones or an external Bluetooth speaker not headset and they work fine but I've heard headset users have alot of drop issues.

Of course the volume issue is a big discussion with this phone and the lack of the proprietary Beats drivers out of stock Rom as well as the internal volume limiter being disabled but I just do like most here do. I set max volume at 2 to 3 clicks lower than it allows and use my Poweramp apps internal eq and it's fine. Not great like before on stock rom but ok. I listen to music on headphones or my external Bluetooth speaker anyway . I also had a voicemail message issue but I fixed that with finding an APK for the stock Sprint voice messaging app and installed that now my voicemail notifications work again.

Basically I've got our phone on CM12.1 working almost like my stock rom and it's reliable as a daily driver for me. Having said that I'm on the VM / Sprint carrier and not on the one you have but it's an MVNO for Sprint right?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] wxppro:
That is a very detailed summary of what is/is not working. Thanks again.

I use Google Voice text App so the stock text messaging app is not an issue to me.

RingPlus is a MVNO of Sprint. It is similar to VM or Boost Mobile. They all use Sprint network. I feel the only difference is the APN - each use a different one so that Sprint can know which MVNO the handset belongs to.

I just flashed this "unofficial" CM 12.1. LTE works! That is great. No this silly "No SIM" error message anymore. And I do not even need to flash the APN fix - there is already a Ringplus APN so that is just great. But this time things are a bit reversed - 3G (CDMA EvDo) is not working. Not a major issue though because I have quite good LTE coverage here. It just shows an "R" indicating roaming. Then "About Phone" reports mobile network disconnected without an IP address.

I guess I will give it a few days to see how it works. Looks like a workable system.
