That's the one, flames and 3G.

Great, that gives me some hope the new sim that is on the way could fix it, thanks!
[Captivate General] scottlinux:
I had this problem as well. This fix worked for me:

Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Networks

Check both boxes

- Use packet data

- Data roaming

ATT / Captivate Android 2.2

Hope this helps,
[Captivate General] javonaso:
Did you find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same problem with my Captivate. No 3G icon and no packet data connection or mms. When I try to go to a page it immediately gives me the "not found: check your data connection" page, and when I try to send a mms, the 3G icon appears like if it was trying to connect and send it and then disappears when the message fails to send.
[Captivate General] Brockg:
I just updated to 2.2 today and I no longer have 3G as well.
[Captivate General] bames:
just an FYI as long as wifi is turned on you will not see the 3g icon.

I have noticed that when you turn wifi off you generally will not see the 3g icon until you do something with the phone that requires data connections

Turn off wifi and try opening a website via browser...the 3G icon should pop-up automatically at that point
[Captivate General] Brockg:
Hello sir, I tried this and now i have 3G(icon popped up and internet/mms works) but am i incurring roaming charges?
[Captivate General] javonaso:
For me even that's not working, I think my stupid phone is broken.
[Captivate General] GAMacky:
When I got a refub'ed Captivate for my partner via AT&T online store since it was only $49, I followed the instructions that came on the box, and everything worked except no 3G/data. So thinking that it might be because of a refurb'ed unit, I called AT&T. They told me to bring it into a corp office store. Fortunately, there's one right down the street from me. I took it in, they fiddled with it for about an hour, including swapping 3 different SIMs, and told me that it was a defective phone. I asked then how do I get a replacement. The rep told me to contact cust service for them to ship a replacement out and it'll include instruction to ship the defective one back since they can't replace refurb unit there at the store. So I went out to my car, called the cust service. The cust service rep told me that I have to send the defective one in first before they'll send me a replacement. I got angry and I went right back in the store, grabbed the rep that was helping me out and told him to please talk to the cust service rep to work things out because I'm not leaving the store until it's resolved. So they talked on the phone for about another 30 min. Then they hung up. The rep fiddled with it for another min, then handed me the phone and the 3G/data was working. Appearantly it was the way that the phone was registered with the system, something was out of whack and 3G/data was not available for that phone line. I then recalled that when I ordered the phone from AT&T, I got an email with instructions that I had to follow, which I did, then I followed the instructions that came with the box. I didn't think much at the time, but it seems like the instruction was telling to do the same thing as the email's instruction was except it was via a slightly different way. So I think I might have inadvertly register the phone twice. In any case, when that happens, 3G/data is not available and yet, the reps checking in the system found the account was setup correctly with the proper plans, changed plans, swapped SIMs, and came to the conclusion of defective phone when the phone was perfectly fine. I don't know if this will help any one. But if your phone is not flashed or rooted, you might want to have AT&T check your account and phone registration.

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names. Inside that option go to Menu -> Reset to default. (Reboot your phone)

Worked for me, i have a samsung captivate thats rooted running on 2.2 froyo and i was deleting some user data,believe it was dialer data (do not delete that, it also deletes your texts) and i all of a sudden my internet stopped working,i tried every setting and i even think there weren't any APN in the list of APNs because of deleting rampage, so i reset my phone and after that i reset the APN back to default settings and rebooted my phone and it worked. For some of you guys, if it still has an APN(the cingular one) in the list of APNs then all you have to do is reset it back to default by clicking menu with the menu button on your phone and click reset. It should work.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
you just replied to a thread 5 months dead..
[Captivate General] roguegrl:
Thank you for updating.

Worked like a charm on my Samsung Vibrant S on Virigin ... this gem of a tip shall be remembered. This started yesterday on the road when data was needed for a work emergency. If only I'd known it then. :-(

Now to fix the Wi-fi from turning itself on and off of it's own free will. *sigh*

Thanks for posting on an old post Sreenadh. You saved the day!

Hey Guys ok so i am with Rogers in Toronto...I flashed it to stock but have flashed it using AT&T stock (Dont ask why) and now i am unable to use my data... Any help would be greatly appreciated...i am able to use my phone with no issues....

Got my 3G back.

Dude, thank you so much !

And I'm glad he did, I just flashed back to stock and was having this issue.

[Captivate General] mattmenger:
Reset to default works

Just to chime in on an old thread,

Go to APN, click on Menu, and Reset to Default. I'll confirm this fixes the issue.

Hi, does anyone have the Youku app/plug-in that is bundled with the new Hong Kong R2BA024 firmware? I was playing with the settings and I'm stupid enough to accidentally deleting the plug-in. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could upload the apk here!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anguslaw:
I think you cannot uninstall the software in the rom, but anyway, the youku is useless. the resources is little. losing it is not a lost actaully.

If you like youku, I suggest you go to youku's website by skyfire. it's much better.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jerrytea:
actually i don't use it much either, but i like how it's an add on to mediascape's infinite button, just feels nice to have more resources on top of youtube :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wrongfeifong:
i thought it is in the market. I got youku from it (canada).

But youku only show me stuff from "china" not hong kong.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jerrytea:
Yes, there's the youku app in the market, but it doesn't support the add on to mediascape.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iraqi4life:
I have just bought the HTC Desire, and I can see that it has 3 extra windows to the left and right (where i can add widgets...shortcuts etc)

I have left 2 blank, can i delete or hide them? So I don't need to scroll through them?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
cant remember how it was in the default sense, but pretty sure theres a setting somewhere letting you change the number of the screens from 7 to i.e. 5
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iraqi4life:
That is exactly what I'm looking for!

Please try and remember lol...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Don't think you can do this through Sense UI but you can set the number of screens using a launcher like Launcher Pro.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaggie:
Why don't you put the two empty ones at the ends, then you have no problems. (I know it isn't exactly the solution you are looking for, but it can help in the meanwhile)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
You could even give Zeam Launcher 1.5.1 a try, looks quite nice and you can set 3 to 9 screens.
[General Questions and Answers] thegenie:
Hello Experts,

Ok, a CDMA operator in my country began to sell Samsung's IP830w worldphone (WinMo 5), and I got two units to use with GSM SIMs. I got stolen so I locked my SIM to the second unit. Now I got Omnia II (i8000) for that SIM. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the code I used to SIM-lock. Other SIMS (even same network) don't work (asks for SIM lock code). Original SIM still works.

I did a hard reset, but it seems only the CDMA part was formatted (actually showed 'formatting CDMA' while resetting). SIM lock code is still requested when I try another SIM. Any hope to solve this?

CDMA part (SIM free) still works well.

Thank you all.

[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
So I have to pick between the Sprint HTC EVO and the Verizon Droid X. I love ROMs and all, but the only thing I NEED is to be able to USB teether without installing anything else on the computer I am using. They are generally locked down and do not allow installs to run. This being said, Which would you choose? I do not need the teether ability right away, but would need it sooner than later. Go with the DX or the Evo? Seeing as the DX is getting Froyo this month, I am leaning towards it, but how far away is USB teethering?
[Droid X General] amigoingcrazzy:
use pdanet and any android phone can usb tether out of the box. without root.
[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
The only problem with that is there are quite a few of the PC's I work on that are locked down and I can not install PDAnet on the PC end. With built in USB teether, I just have to make a setting on the phone, then hook it up and the PC sees it as a WAN. Shane.
[Droid X General] mjones1052:
Have you checked out the bluetooth tethering options? They sell a tiny little USB gadget at Staples or Best Buy that will give the PC bluetooth, then there is some hack or something on these forums that will enable you to bluetooth tether the interwebz.

I'd love to be able to post the links I have for you but the mods won't let me....sorry... but it is possible.

Search this same forum for bluetooth tethering, then Google targus bluetooth USB
[Droid X General] davisbs999:
The OP said that he can't install anything on his computer, which is required to be able to use PDAnet.

It is likely that the OP knows this already, but tethering without downloading anything onto a computer is possible now that the X has been rooted.
[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
I sure do :) Now...can it USB teether? Or only through BlueTooth? or is that only in FroYo.
[Droid X General] phoenx06:
Wireless Tether for root users. It's an app you can use once you root your X to creat a wifi hotspot, without being charge by Verizon.
[Vibrant General] jimmytran817:
Just got the Vibrant and finally when trying to watch Avatar for the first time, i get an error say "Sorry, License Expired" I tried opening video player, i see the trailer and avatar.dcf file, trailer works fine, but avatar comes up with error "avatar.dcf locked. Do you want to unlock it now?

Okay or Cancel both doesnt work. I tried googling this but nothings out there. Ideas?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] jaredangus:
My best advice is to contact T-mobile
[Vibrant General] OolonColuphid:
I had the same issue this morning, except the error was "Sorry, License not found."

Inexplicably, it seems to have gone away on its own.
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
Probably not the most ideal solution but a factory reset fixes both these issues. I have seen both these problems and the reset fixed it.
[Vibrant General] sfsilicon:
Sorry to hear about your problems. Just to clarify (so I don't run into the same problem) are you guys using your phone stock or have you modified it in anyway? If yes in which way (e.g. root, custom boot loader, etc.)
[Vibrant General] danpaganelli:
Did you open the movie file itself with a media player, or by the avatar app on the homescreen?
[Vibrant General] jimmytran817:
Basically out of the box. setup my gmail account, facebook, then played with some apps. Then i tried to watch Avatar for first time, i get sorry, license expired (icon on main page) then i tried to lauch the video player and clicked on the file, I get the file is locked.

I factory reset this once and its the same deal. I just rooted the phone. and tried it again, samethig. Havent noticed anything wrong with phone.

i have Avatar on blueray. just wanted to check it out on the phone itself cause the trailer looks awesome.

[Vibrant General] shoerhino:
I've had the same problem. Power cycling the unit seems to have solved the problem.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
No issues here, and I'm rooted.
[Vibrant General] Alakar:
Off the top of my head, are you using a Task Killer? I notice there are a few services running for DRM and I would assume if you kill them it could interfere with Avatar or the Sim3, which both use DRM. The ones I am referring to are com.sec.android.app.drmua and com.sec.android.providers.drm.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
That's a really good thought, and yet ANOTHER reason to avoid task killers.
[Vibrant General] xxMAGIC MANNxx:
never thought of that..hmmm thx for the heads up
[Vibrant General] rajkumar484:
I am not using task killer apps. and i don't want to do factory reset.

is there any other way we can get rid of the error?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
HD2 TmoUS stock rom. Been running perfectly until this am.

Went to the photo tabs via sens and everything froze. Now anytime i go to the tab on sense everything freezes and i am forced to soft restart.

I have tried

- disabling photos tab, soft reboot, re-enabling photos tab and same results

- disabling sense, soft reboot, re-enabling and same results

Searched and found nothing. Any ideas, short of hard reset?
[Desire General] dneill2006:
Install this today on my rooted HTC Desire, running the official froyo sense rom.

Found after installing it didn't work, came up with error so clicked revert just in case, phone then restarted.

Uninstalled the app but have noticed all of my apps that are meant to have ads have none.

Does this mean it worked or does the official froyo sense rom come with a modified hosts files to stop ads anyway?

I have compared the hosts file on my phone with the one from the rom zip file and both are exactly the same.

Is there anyway to get the ads back without flashing the phone again?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fayeznoor:
The Samsung Galaxy S could get updated to Android 2.2 in France by the end of September, according to internet reports.

The reports quote a ‘Samsung France representative’, which means if we’re to believe them we still don’t know when the update, aka Froyo, will land on UK versions of the phone.

Phandroid does offer some hope, pointing out that the French Samsung Galaxy S is an international version that is available in most territories.

Samsung has already said that Samsung Galaxy S’ in its native Korea would be first to get the update in August, with it rolling out to other territories after that.

Android 2.2 is expected to give iOS 4 a real run for its money, it will turn phones into Wi-Fi hotspots so files can be passed between phone and computers; offer faster connectivity; support Flash 10.1; and allow users to store and install apps with a MicroSD card.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Their carrier partner in SK is switching to an unlimited data plan in August to coincide with the release so I think there's a lot of evidence to these rumors. I'll be a little excited to have the first, non-N1, Android device with official Froyo. Woot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Hi there

two points,

I think it is the iPhone that would have to try give Android a run for its money, not visa versa, or are you talking about the fluidity of the interface? I suppose with that, the iphone is still tops, but feature wise, it has been overtaken with 2.1.

SGS can already run as a WiFi hotspot... just press one button in your settings and it is a hotspot.

Cheers,

Mark.

[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
I just found THIS 32gb micro SDHC memory card (CLASS 4). Has anyone purchased one yet? I'm real tempted to get one but am a little uneasy spending this much for it to just be a fake. Doesn't Amazon protect you even when you buy from their resellers?

UPDATE: HERE is the review page for the company selling them. I don't know how accurate it is but the second review from the top is most likely about this card.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
never heard of topram brand before, and $170 isn't exactly a bargain... especially if it turns out to be a junk card
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
I didn't say it was a bargain...
[EVO 4G Accessories] drbgotenks:
I purchased a 16gb class 4 card from topram. I used it in my hero (with A2SD) and now use it in my evo. The card works well and is the correct size (I have filled it with around 15.x gb to test).

I think I paid $18 for the card. When I need more space I will buy more 16gb cards before I would spend that much money.

edit: the card holds 14.92gb.
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
Just curious, what file table system do you use to format these cards to work with most cell phones. FAT32, FATex, NTFS? Or do you use the internal phones format utility?
[EVO 4G Accessories] drbgotenks:
If not using a2sd (i'm not on my evo, plenty of space), I do FAT32. I haven't had any issues, movies play well, pictures save quickly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jerryparid:
Just get the 32GB Sandisk from Verizon. It writes at 5 mb/s anyways.
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
Actually, Verizon screwed me over one too many times so I won't have anything to do with them. If you have to ask me, I'd say don't deal with them. Other people seem to have good experiences with Verizon so I guess they just don't like me. I must be flagged or something in their system. Anyways, I go elsewhere.
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
I'm gonna wait 'til 32GB Class 6 cards are ~$50 bucks, then I won't feel bad about missing out on verizon's screw up.

I would never buy this.
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
It is freakin' expensive. I guess I'll just wait till they drop the price.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hairongreenfire:
i'm sure when black friday comes around in a few months, there will be plenty of deals going around for 16 and 32GB cards
[EVO 4G Accessories] jerryparid:
Gonna have to wait for 2 years at least. If you haven't noticed, 32GB standard SD cards aren't even breaking 32GB/$50 yet. Let alone a Class 2 32GB MicroSD, which has only been out for a few months.
