Hello! I'm from Spain, I want to investigate about Hisense Inkscreen phones
[General Questions and Answers] Fusseldieb:
Hi all,

I have modified my T295 to run directly off of the 12V in my car.

Basically I got a Buck LM2596 3A Step Down converter and dialed it in to exactly 4.0V to mimic a almost fully charged Li-Ion battery and hooked it up directly to the battery terminals, skipping the tiny board that comes with the battery. In other words, straight to the mainboard.

The tablet works perfectly as a car stereo connected to the Bluetooth Amp and doesn't have any problem, but once every 3 days or so it suddenly shuts off. Sometimes I enter in my car and it's already off and sometimes I'm driving, it suddenly gets a completely black screen and then shuts off. I can turn it on immediately after, but sometimes I need 2-3 tries.

Maybe it's kernel related and triggers some sort of brownout? But this doesn't make sense to me, since I can stress it and it doesn't turn off.

It's Android 9, rooted, debloated and decrypted in case this helps :)

Thanks for any advice!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Aaron9546:
A few years ago I rooted my s7 (it's stuck on marshmallow 6.1) and flashed xposed. I had no issue for years until recently, for some reason my phone keeps popping up with "Google play services has stopped" repetitively, making the phone unusable. I've tried all of the online fixes and factory reset the phone many times but the issue is reoccurring (seems to be an issue with updated Google play services). What would be the easiest way to fix this? A custom rom?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RVR:
Have you considered updating it to using ODIN to flash the latest firmware?

You can download the latest firmware for your phone model and specific region from various sites like samfirmware, samfw or updato.

Considering XPosed is installed, it may not install in the first try. In that case you need to flash it once again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Aaron9546:
Thank you for the reply. Yes, this is exactly what I ended up doing and yes I had to flash it twice. This fixed the issue.

Thank you for your nice post.

By the way I just "discover" (edit : forgot to click on larsuck's link in original post) this: http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/price_plan/packet_full/index.html

Is the new limit for unlimited packet plan 5985yens? It would be a nice news!

There still are informations on the old unlimited packet plan, so I'm wondering if there is a trap...

[Networking] larsuck:
I can't speak from experience, but I am 99.9% sure this password will work with the new rate. A guy using a stock X02HT on this thread reported that he was okay after switching. And I doubt he took his X02HT into the shop for them to change the AP.

I would switch and give it a try, but I have actually never used more than a couple thousand yen worth of data a month. I get most of my regular sites' feeds cached in using SPB Insight.
[Networking] RayB:
I took the dive myself and setup the new data plan, was jsut a quick visit to the local softbank, and all still works fine technically. Just waiting on the revised bill to see if it actually took effect :D
[Networking] chainbolt:
please let us know ;)
[Networking] chainbolt:
anybody???
[Networking] RayB:
Sorry for the delayed response. My bill was all in order :D, so you should be safe upgrading to the new data plan from the old 10,000 yen per month plan. But you never know they could change things :rolleyes:
[Networking] chainbolt:
I can confirm that the connection.cab works also with Blackstone :)
[Networking] Kevbodian:
I can confirm the connection.cab works with my diamond. I have flashed the x04ht rom found elsewhere on this board.

My billing cycle is as follows:

Usage is charged up to the 24th or so and then bill is released on the 7th of the following month.

I check my usage just now: パケット通信料 ~19,000円

It says that discounts have not yet been applied but after working this out to be something like 250,000 packets, I am a little worried. This is assuming the rate is 0.08 Yen per packet. I figure I have used about the same data as with my actual softbank device (the odd email check [mobile.gmail.com] and the odd browsing [less than 10 minutes of yahoo.co.jp etc]). I really don't use it much at all. I work usually 12 hours a day and I am too beat to mess with my diamond.

My previous months usage (including the same browsing habits and the mobile gmail) only ever peaked at like 60000 packets. Mind you I can only look at past bills in their post-discount-applied state.

I am going to call SB tomorrow and ask them what's up.
[Networking] larsuck:
The packet count shouldn't change depending on discounts. Only the money charged should change.

Make sure you don't have the m2D weather auto-updating or anything automatic like that running.
[Networking] Kevbodian:
Yeah I killed that. I am just waiting for my final bill to be ready in a few days. We tried calling SB and they seemed to not know f'all. One lady even said, and I quote:

"softbank sims are not sim free so if you put it into another non-softbank device it will no longer function and you will have to get another one"

I got off the line with her as soon as I could.
[Networking] larsuck:
/he sighs. Its hard to know what to say to that kind of stupidity. One can only hope that the girl is just making stuff up. Otherwise, she is just repeating the lies they have distributed to their staff.

Anyway, let us know how it goes. Good luck.
[Networking] chainbolt:
I just got the above 30,000 Yen warning message from SB.

But I was for a week roaming in Europe, might be related to this.
[Networking] RayB:
Roaming in Europe would do it alright. My coworker just got his 70,000 yen roaming fee for data usage.

My last few bills have been fine. Packet use in the range of 20,000 yen fully discounted and the new flat rate 5700 yen charge applied. I dont think there will be a problem. I was using the 10,000 yen flat rate package for 2 years prior to this on non softbank phones and it only went above when roaming.
[Networking] Kevbodian:
So I got my bill and with the open connection I was charged as follows (approx, because I am too lazy at the moment to get the exact info, but it goes like this):

with the open connection, X-series phones will be charged at a max of 10700en or something like this.

to get the 4400 en one, you have to be within the above "walled garden" (basically a bull**** plan)

to get the 5900en one, you have to be using an iphone.

I am going to try and set my diamond up with the iphone settings.

Also, I find it bull**** that I am being charged as a X04HT user when I don't even have an x04ht.
[Networking] Kevbodian:
Oh, roaming fees aren't charged by softbank initially. The provider your bud was roaming on has each kB or packet charged to softbank. Softbank then in turn charges your bud.
[Networking] Zgembo:
iPhone connection? Are the settings available?
[Networking] larsuck:
Nah. X-series users can freely switch to the 5900 plan using this connection.
[Networking] ext23:
Yeah you are probably right. Thanks for looking into that, anyway.

The info that is most relevant to this thread I guess is that the black iPhone SIM with the correct smile.world APN settings work perfectly on Android devices in regards to mobile internet with no bill issues (as all Softbank iPhone SIMs should be running the packet houdai plan already so there is no need to tinker with your plan in My Softbank).

The MMS issue is a Softbank-side problem that was also present on the iPhone. In fact the official word from Softbank is that their Desire doesn't support MMS at all...

Could you guys let me know what speed you get on softbank 3G these day?

Earlier I used to get arnd 600-700 kbps but since last week I hardly get arnd 100-150kbps.

I usually check on www.mobilespeedtest.com Just wanted to confirm whether its my HD2 or Softbanks network.
[Networking] ext23:
I just ran the test with full bars reception and got 130. Using a desire. Pretty lame.
[Networking] diamondX04HT:
Thanks for confirming...these r pathetic speeds...I guess softbank is restricting the speeds.
[Networking] Apsalus:
SB says in the fine print that they will throttle your data if you go over about 1200MB during your billing cycle. That said, I just ran a speed test for the fun of it not two days ago and I got 1097kbps down and 1206kbps up. HTC Desire.

Also, I was having a discussion regarding the "0 Yen" Iphone 3GS with someone the other day and they assert that if you cancel your contract before the first two years, you have to pay for the full price of the phone. I was under the impression that you only pay the remaining fee for the phone that has not been "discounted" by the two year contract. If someone cancels after 12 months, does that mean that they effectively owe half of what the phone cost?
[Networking] gilrad:
Just to add more information to the pile, I usually get 300-450kbps from my occasional tests.
[Networking] yomisugi:
I want to be able to connect to sftbank using an HD2 from the UK. I currently have the pakehoudai data service. Is the best way to get set up correctly still to use the cab file in the second post or have any of the settings changed?

It would be great if someone could pm me the relevant settings so that I can check them for myself.

I have read through the whole thread but am not sure that things haven't changed with some of the newer data plans that seem to be on the sb website.

Thx
[Networking] Thongi:
Yeah, I have the same request (pls send me an pm), but I have an Nexus one instead of a HD2. And

I just signed up for an iPhone4 to get the simcard, (which is a microSIM) and I got the SIM addapter, all I need are the setting to get my n1 to work correctly with web and mms.

it would be much appriciated
[Networking] SBS:
http://softbanksucks.blogspot.com/2010/07/general-information-for-smart-phone.html

all the information except pw is at the above link. Can't help you with mms because I've never used it, but there is also mms information to put you on the right track.
[Networking] gilrad:
There's a softbank mms request app that, when combined with the softbank mail app (and the correct apn settings), will allow you to download softbank mail on any android phone. Its not the prettiest of combinations, and I am fairly sure one of the two kills my battery life, so I mostly use it so I can tell people to switch to my gmail account if I receive an mms.
[Networking] Apsalus:
Can you give any other specifics? You can download full MMS without rooting? I am aware of the SB Mail app and I tried it in tandem with that mms req app that was supposedly associated with it, but it just gave me the same result as the built-in msg client on my Desire.

Wrong APN used

I have a Desire X06HT, been using custom ROMS since pretty much the day I bought it. Anyway, the last one I decided to use was one of the new Gingerbread Sense ROMS for the Desire HD. After a day of using it, I got the dreaded "over 30,000 yen" SMS from Softbank. I checked my APN settings, and it turns out the Softbank APN in the ROM was not the usual....

So even with the "pakehodai full flat" deal, if you use the wrong APN, you get charged through the nose. Any comments on my chances of negotiating this with Softbank?
[Networking] kuroneko007:
What is interesting is that I got charged for "Smartphone packets". Surely those should be included, since I'm on a smartphone plan!!
[Networking] SBS:
You can try to argue it but you'll just be wasting your time. And you'll just get yourself more frustrated at the inflexibility of the whole situation. I've come to figure out that the people at the shops not only have no power to do anything, they actually lack the means to do anything. They couldn't help you if they wanted. So if you do decide to fight it, you're going to have to call SBM HQ.

Look on the bright side and be glad that you caught it now as opposed to later. :D

BTW, it is mentioned in this thread that setting the wrong APN will get you charged per packet, as well as on my site.

NOW, the most important thing to do is get that APN fixed in the ROM before more people get bit. Which ROM was it?

Usually, devs are relying on Cyanogens APN list. If this ROM used CM's list, this is bad, very bad. The Docomo tethering APN got added to CM's list last year, but it was listed above the regular APN in the xml file. As a result, a clean install of CM6 defaulted to tethering APN.

It got caught and fixed fairly quickly, but not before a bunch of folks got hit with extra charges (like me). Fortunately for us, the tethering APN just adds a fixed 4200 yen to the bill. (And no, I failed to get it removed from my bill and the wife still b!tches at me about the extra cost even today :p)
[Networking] kuroneko007:
Thanks for the response, SBS. I guess I knew what you were saying, but was just wondering whether it was really worth the effort of unrooting and trying to play innocent with Softbank, or just sucking it up and putting it down to experience.

The APN came from the RCMIX S ROM for HTC Desire, although I guess that since all the Desire Gingerbread ROMs are based off the same source, it is probably in all of them. I am just downloading another to check. Never had a problem with Cyanogen, everything is correct in there. The trouble is, the devs of these ROMs are getting hundreds of comments a day, mostly spam from users who still don't know how to flash a recovery, so relevant posts very easily get drowned in the flood. But I will try and get a comment in there anyway.

I guess I had got so used to ROMs being based off Cyanogen's list (and hence safe) that I'd stopped checking. Won't be making that mistake again.

Just wanted to say thanks for your blog as well, which I regularly read. Thanks to you I got my boss's HT-03a rooted and running CM6 :)
[Networking] SBS:
No Problem. I understand where you are coming from. BTW, it is definitely NOT worth unrooting because the people that you'll be arguing with won't be looking at the handset. You'll be on the phone talking to someone at corporate.
[Networking] SBS:
Three SBM APNs in CMs list

Wow. It probably is from Cyanogen's list

There are three APNs for softbank in the following order:

Softbank(open)

Softbank(smile.world)

SoftBank Internet (unlimited)

The unlimited APN has an interesting username, relevant to you:

user="softbankX06HT"

Is this the one you are supposed to be using?

If so, then it won't be set by default because the other two take priority by being higher on the list. Personally I have never heard of that APN - maybe it is something new? Wonder why it would seem to be for only users of your particular phone?

It is probably best to unyaffs the ROM image and look at the

apns-conf.xml

file to see if the correct APN is even in there and to compare it to Cyanogen's list. I think it should be in /system/etc

Or you could just adb pull it to you PC.
[Networking] kuroneko007:
Hmm... the Softbank (open) one is the one that is covered by my plan; the Softbank Internet one is, as you say, new (it wasn't in the CM7 nightlies I was using a couple of months ago), and this is the one my phone defaulted to when I installed the RCMixS ROM.

I just checked the latest version of the ROM and the Softbank Internet APN is gone, so I guess the problem has been noticed. As long as it is not the default in Cyanogen's list, then it shouldn't be a problem either.
[Networking] SBS:
Is this the ROM?

Interesting, the actual APN list on github does not include the unlimited APN, so I guess it has been removed but that isn't yet reflected on the google code site.

Do you still have the offending ROM? I'd like to see the apns-conf.xml file from it. If you have it can you email it to me?

I am wondering if the "unlimited" APN was originally added above the other two. If so this really highlights an issue with CM's way of adding APNs. Sometimes, it would seem that new APNs end up above the older ones. It should be the other way around.

Here is were a dev changed the order of the Docomo APNs.

EDIT: I see where the other Docomo APNs got added properly below the old ones, so it depends on who makes the edit.

(Posting in this thread since it appears to be the go-to resource for anybody who has an unlocked phone under Softbank)

I just upgraded to a Galaxy Note, and now that I don't have the convenient Dell Streak useragent allowing me to use the Softbank SMS app, I've been having trouble getting SMS to work.

I found a thread that details one way to enable Softbank Mail through the use of a SMS app that allows useragent spoofing, but I still can't seem to get it to work.

Anybody managed to get softbank mail to work on their imported phones? I would really like to hear about the method you used to get it to work.

[Networking] Kevbodian:
On the 5985 plan, can you use apps that use data and still keep the 5985 charge? IE: facebook, youtube (the ones on many people's wwe cooked roms) and the tf3d weather app?

If possible, we should add to the first post of this very useful thread to the first question regarding the evil connection wizard. Please note that the connection wizard will try to set up the 64k digital data plan that charges per 30 seconds instead of per packet and the APN for this account is ai@vodafone or ai@softbank. So if you see ai@ in your data settings, DELETE THOSE SETTINGS!
[Networking] larsuck:
I'm 99.5% sure you can use those apps and still remain within the plan.

Softbank 3G doesnt work on Xperia X1

Guys,

I'm a total newbie to Windows Mobile, 3G and Softbank.

Sorry to beat a (aparently) dead horse, but can somebody explain in details how to get Softbank 3G working on my Xperia X1 (WinMobile 6.1) phone?

I tried the default settings - the ones that came out of the box for Xperia. They didnt work at first, then they worked (I still dont understand what exact actions on my part triggered the thing to work), then my Xperia re-set it self(dont know why) and the standard settings don't work.

I installed the cab here - just put it on the phone, clicked the file and hit a couple of Yes. It has put a new Internet connection on my phone ... but I still cannot use internet, nor any other data application on my Xperia ... this is SOOO frustrating.

Oh, and to top it off, I called Softbank - because I was using ai@vodafone username (the default one for Xperia), they nicely charged me 34000 JPY for just ONE DAY of usage!!!! I paid a pile of $$$, and the thing still doesnt work - ouch!

Thanks a lot
