Hi guys, after digging through the entire WM6 forum, and testing some ROM's for myself, I found a common problom among all of the WM6 ROM's

There are some issues with the dataconnections via UMTS/GPRS. Let me explain.

Let say I have an open GPRS (or UMTS) connection and am browsing some websites. I lose my connection in a tunnel so I wait. When I come out, the dataconnection is useless, and has to reconnect. Thats the part where I it all goes bad :( The icon will say that there is no connection anymore, but when going to the connectionmanager and modifying the connection will report that the connection is in fact in use!

To my knowledge, there is no immidate fix for this, and ive seen a lot of posts about this issue.

What makes it even more cranky is that it can also occur when the radio switches from UMTS to GRPS when connected.

The commmanger is sometimes able to correct is by restarting the phone, but many times it is forcing me to soft-reset :(

How did you get to all this you may ask? Well I live in a small village in Holland, and what makes it a pain for WM6 for me is that my hometown is on the border of a GPRS/UMTS zone (IN the town, GPRS - 500 meters out, UMTS) Plus the fact that when going to school, I pass through a tunnel going under water thus canceling all connections :)

As I said, the error comes op when roaming, or getting disconnected.

Is there anyone that can shed some more light on to this issue? (Or in the best possible case even fix it? :))

Edit:

WM5 does not suffer from this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] SpyderTracks:
This is actually a well documented problem amongst some Radio ROMs with WM6. Each person will tell you a different favourite Radio ROM and the only real way to find one that works for you is to test them.

My personal favourite out of quite a few that I've tested is 1.13, locality UK. Works fine for me, boosted signal performance and reconnection for data is fine for my needs, but then I don't use Push eMail or anything that requires permanent connection so I might not be the best judge for that kind of stability.

1.15 has just been released and a lot of people are saying it's the best, haven't tried it myself yet.

There is a thread titled "which radio rom works best where you are?", contains a lot of post stating which is their favourite Radio in their particular location, should help you along the way. Sorry, would give you a link, but feeling lazy ;)

Hope it helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
I tried the radio 1.15. Like many have said most radios are country compatible. With me the best is 1.09 and i moved to it.

Also radios are interlinked with your network providers, th4 some work better and some dont. Thats my experience.:rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cottinghamm:
Tried them all !!

I've posted in just about every thread and must have bored everyone with my postings on this subject, I simply can't find a combination that works reliably under WM6 - none of the Radio versions seem able to cope.

It is interesting that this has not been addressed yet, it is a fundamental issue to using the XDA as a business communication tool.

It would be good if one (or more) of the excellent XDA Developers could try & solve this before delivering any more builds that tweak minor settings & deliver questionable value to a limited audience (I hope this doesn't sound like a whinge, it is not, I like the work done here & enjoy the new feaures).

Well done for setting this up as a dedicated thread.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
While I was on aku 3.2 Jwright it was smooth as sailing with radio 1.09. After moving onto wm6 there is a feeling of disatisfaction.

few hangups, communication is not very smooth, missed calls occasionally and sluggish. This is being faced very regularly.

Well!. hope to see a good solution soon.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Biffert:
Ive been through every radio ROM from 1.09.00 and up. The one I found working best for me is 1.15.00 but the issue isnt resolved. It will still happen :( To see if the radio is actualy better than others I flashed the stock WM5 ROM to my 9000 again to see if it will occur there as well, but no sigar. WM5 is having no problems.

It happens stricktly on WM6 ROM (any version, and any radio) :'(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] guylhem:
push mail best option

Hello

So which ROM is the best option for a working push mail?

From the above comments I guess a WM5 - which brings another question : which one is the faster/most stable, at least to compare with WM6 ?

From what I've read, Jwrigh 3.2 seems to be better than Helmi 3.5

A side questions: can anyone do manual activesync to mail2web with SSL enabled?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Biffert:
My personal opinion goes to the Qtek factory ROM. It is pretty much vanilla and has decent speed and good reliability. The ROM works good with almost any radio version (1.15.00 is very nice)

As for WM6, many people have it running great, but I am having problems with radio stability.

Tested today again with radio 1.15.00 and the JWright 2.02.00 WWE Crossbow, and no luck. All morning was great, no hickups. And going home this afternoon the whole thing jams up. A little baloon stating that dailing failed or something of that matter. When I restarted the phone via Commmanager, it went working again but switching from UMTS to GPRS locked it up showing the baloon constantly :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] SpyderTracks:
AFAIK, the developers are aware of this issue. Jwright did a few enhancements on 1.13 with the release of 2.02, it was better, but unfortunately still left a few glitches... Have faith though, I know these guys only do it as a little hobby, but they do come up with some incredible results 99% of the time ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] guylhem:
Honnestly - the work being done is truely amazing. I should know - I did maintain my own rom for the Sharp Zaurus 6000 so I can tell you how tough it is to fix small bugs - I remember spending weeks to find a workaround for a keyboard issue which was due to hardcoded stuff in Qtopia libraries (what a shame). I had to resort to kernel hacking to change the keycodes, then do the same for the console and Qtopia, etc.

I was contemplating to work on Linux for the Universal, but it is such a great device right now with WM6 that I don't want to spend time on that. I couldn't do much better with free software at the moment (except add more stability and run GAIM which can work behind http-proxy - I need that for my flat rate wap !). Push mail is a killing function.

Anyway, now that the network connectivity issue seems to be pinpointed to the OS (instead of the radio rom) maybe something will be possible ? On GNU/Linux, I would add a script to cron, to try to ping some IP, resolve a FQDN - whatever, and if the connection fail issue a stop/start to the ppp daemon. If this fails too, do the same to the GSM. It shouldn't be very hard to code on WM.

I really enjoy the Universal - good form factor, almost complete (I would just add GPS and more RAM). It is really useful to me in my "off-line" life.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Biffert:
I couldnt agree more on how much great work is done on the Universal (Or any other HTC device for that matter :)) And I have great faith in the experts on this forum that a solution will be found :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wassa:
i have tried Jwrights WM6 ROm with 1.13 and 1.15 Radio, the GPRS never connrcts in Egypt. i then tried Darkforces ROM with 1.13 and 1.15 Radio again the GPRS never connects in Egypt.

i then tried Jwrights Rom with Radio 1.09 and the GPRS works 100%. i think there are some issues with WM6 and 1.13 and 1.15 Radio Roms.

does anyone have any other thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Biffert:
Ill give 1.09 another try over here in the Netherlands te see if there are any minor differences I can spot (Currently using 1.15.00)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dadio22:
Hmmm,

I've got two places were I go on the internet using gprs/umts. And it gives two different results. But when you look at the coverage it can't be a coincidence. Beause at home i lose my signal when it switches between gprs and umts which it does all the time. And at that adres the coverage for just umts is not that good but that for gprs is. really annoying.

But at that other place i have a superb connection with a great signal. and that coincides with the coverage.

So it means that what is important is how a certain rom handles the changes between umts and gprs. Which is already known now is the question who makes sure that the change between umts and gprs goes smoothly??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Viper®:
I'm also in the Netherlands (Arnhem-Utrecht) and I've tried lots of radio roms.

In my view it's true that wm5 works with different roms then WM6.

I've tried 1.12 (fixed) 1.15 and 1.09 with WM6

1.09 is in my view the best, 1.12 and 1.15 both had problems with the BT and the device hanging when soft-resetting.

I'm going to try 1.14.10 1.13 and 1.10 also to see which off those works best.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howdareme:
after flashing different roms i lost my calls and mobile data... i still have my imei and phone number but cant make calls or access internet! i have tried to flash stock roms but i dont fix it. please someone help me :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
hi...make sure that you dont lose your s/n because i tink you dont root your phone sucessfuly and you lose you s/n

1:make sure that you have the same imei that you have in your phone

2 put this code (*#12580*369#) in a stock rom and tell me what you see

3 some time the imei is good but you lose your s/n and you cant make call or any thi'g and you show emergency call only

4:if you lose your s/n soory you cant repair that if you dont have a profesionnel cable and a programe named (z3x samsung tools)..so you need to repair your phone in a repair shop.or SAV

5 SO tell me what you see when you put the code
[Sony Xperia M] Philnexes:
Hey guys!

So I have a little problem with my C2005.

I've been using CM11 recently, but I decided to switch to stock and to swap external/internal. Everything worked fine for me until one day I woke up noticing my phone is shut down, and after restart the SD card was unable to load, awaring me as of "damaged". I put my SD to to PC and another phones and any other device is able to mount it.

I tried to format the card and reinstall the stock system to phone, but still nothing. :/

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
are you ever check your memory card with software partition tool for your pc? just check is that your sd card still have active partition? if still have you still have a hope to recover that bro?:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] jkkk88:
Try boot into custom recovery if visible there. You can partition, format sdcard because all tools available there.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bacon612:
Hey Guys

Having some trouble with my z2 tab. Might be hardware related not sure yet. Regardless, can anyone tell me if the firmware a sony experia is running before flashing cyanogenmod makes a difference? I am unclear on this being an HTC user for years I know that firmware in HTC land updates modem and wifi drivers etc so base firmware makes a difference. Is this the same in xperia land? Seemingly I have two choices moving forward with my z2 tab as doomlord has stated that there are two firmware versions that are compatible with his root and CWM recovery.

He says:

7.1.1.A.0.402 - v03

17.1.A.2.36 - v01 or roms based on that firmware. Not sure what he means by roms based on that firmware. Can anyone please shed some light?

Thanks

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
I am running CM11/CM12 since last summer on my SGP512. No problems whatsoever.

To run CM12, you don't need to install a recovery with a stock kernel. Just flash the CM boot. img via fastboot as described in the thread, it contains the recovery and the kernel.

Note that the CM12 recovery has some bugs, so sometimes the CM11 recovery has to be used. Everything is explained in the CM12 thread in the original development section.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bacon612:
Thanks. I too have been running cm11 and now 12 since may. I am more curious if the base firmware before u load cm makes a difference

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
I won't know.... What CID do you have? Mr Hofs asked this previously and I'm yet to see anything from your side. If you're on International WWE then the update is not yet out for your device. If you have Asian WWE then the update *might* be out for your device, either way we won't know. Share some info on what device you have.

In the first post you mentioned you received the OTA for your device... If you don't get it now then try to do a factory reset and see if you can get it afterwards. Though it would still help a lot to know what device you have. So get adb on your PC and in bootloader mode use the command: fastboot getvar all and share the info, just delete the IMEI and Serial number.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Sprint device? :confused: Didn't think you'd have a Sprint one, thought you were from the Ukraine going by your flag choice etc.

Either way, 4.4.4 is the latest for Sprint devices, the Lollipop update is still in 2(Integration) stage so it has some ways to go still before lollipop.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_muncher:
Actually i am from Turkey but I live in Ukraine :) so my situation - its a little complicated :) Yes sprint device but what is the difference between the other devices M8 and sprint M8 ? And the seller told me the device from USA.

So my device never will get the lollipop ? Or I have to be patience :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Well it looks like you've been getting OTA updates so far, so you should be able to get it when Lollipop is released, whenever that is.

Sprint - CDMA device (Verizon as well).

Other M8s - GSM Devices.

You can look up the main differences between the two with a quick google search.

It's American device yes. It would perhaps have been better if they had the Developer Edition or Unlocked Edition from the US instead of a carrier specific(Sprint) device which runs on different technologies(Radios) for their networks. Generally you won't be able to us a CDMA device "just anywhere" where as GSM is Global. Like I said though, you can get the whole explanation with a simple Google search though.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_muncher:
yes i have been getting OTA update. Patience :) or custom rom .

I can wait for it I think .

And i dont know my device is unlocked edition or developer edition but i use my phone normally i put a nano sim and the network works very well.

I have searched it and get the main idea thank your very much
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your device is

neither

the US unlocked or Dev Edition versions, and that is the point of the previous post (either would have been better in your case than Sprint).

You should have researched more before selling. The seller saying its a "from USA" means close to nothing, as the US carriers have more carrier specific customizations than just about anywhere else in the world. You've succeeded in buying one of the few variants that is actually different from the pure GSM variants, possibly even on a hardware level. Also, the GSM versions have much more activity and developer support than Sprint. Not to knock the Sprint M8 community here; but its merely a fact.

Just a word or warning, if you intend to apply any mods to the phone in the future, be very careful. My recommendation would be to only flash mods specifically intended (or verified) to work on the Sprint variant.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_muncher:
even on a hardware level ? how ? i ve controled the hardware level and it seems the same as a gsm device. and a different question I have. i read about differenc between CDMA and GSM.. says on a CDMA device you can not sent and receive sms but in my phone its working as well. and there something with imei number. if you use GSM on a CDMA device you have to pay to unlock it. i didnt pay but my device works perfect. i dont have any problem. just when i receive sms the first time it said there is no CMDA and no more. I can still receive sms.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't know what you mean "controlled the hardware level" (probably a language translation difference here). But if you are saying it "seems" they are the same, that implies you are

not absolutely certain

. In that case, I would (as already stated) strongly advise to not flash any mods intended for the "GSM" M8 unless already verified to work on the Sprint version. When it comes to the possibility of bricking the device, caution is always preferable to regret.

Some have stated the CDMA version is the same hardware as GSM. Others have stated the opposite. One person even stated the motherboard layout is different, but I have not found any confirmation of this anywhere. As far as I have seen, there is no definitive proof either way; so you need to be very careful on this.

Again, this is just my personal view. You can do as you wish. But if start "experimenting" and you brick the phone, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

If it works, it works. From a network compatibility standpoint, if its fully functional on your carrier's GSM, HSPA, and LTE bands (as applicable) and in all locations where you need it; than you don't have anything to worry about. Keeping in mind that the main reason the Sprint version even has GSM and HSPA support at all, is for international use (Sprint users while travelling outside the US). And GSM, HSPA bands are largely standardized everywhere

outside

the US (850/1900 GSM and 2100 HSPA works in a

lot

of places). So the fact it works on your local network is not a great surprise.

I am a bit surprised that the phone is not SIM locked. As far as I know, the Sprint version is SIM locked (Verizon is SIM unlocked out of the box). So perhaps the phone was factory unlocked, or SIM unlocked by the seller.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_muncher:
I have started experimenting. I dont blame any body its ok. i dont have any problem YET.

"controlled the hardware level" yes its because translation and my english level. I mean I have checked it out. I compared with the gsm device.

I will keep in my mind no more sprint device. even it has no problem YET.

"SIM locked" it due to serial number or imei number ? or device ?

and what do you mean bricking the device ? I dont have any problem but I want to know. just i case you know. I should suddenly have these problems .

and perhaps the phone was factory unlocked, or SIM unlocked by the seller because it works well. including (sms,network,calls and everthings.)
