Hi Folks,

My issue is with a new HD2 TMous. I purchased it "unlocked" and was able to slap my ATT sim card in and make/receive calls. At first the edge network wasnt working but I was able to add the att wap.cingular into the winmo connections and get edge. After a couple restarts and setting up mail accounts/ importing sim contacts edge stopped working. I thought I just needed to fix the apn again so I popped froyostone2.2 in and was happy with the look. When I tried to setup the APN in android I found the MCC and MNC were auto setting to 310 and 560. I popped in some known working settings (called ATT to confirm) and just could not get my phone to connect to edge again. Each time I set the MNC to 410 (settings from another ATT local customer) my APN would clear out. I tried the set it up and restart and set it up again trick with no luck. Sometimes the connection comes up but thats all just the up arrrow in the indicator blinks and no traffic is sent.

Tried:

-Differnt Winmo rom

-Differnt Android rom

-3 Different radio roms

Looking for help with:

-Anyway to force the MNC to go to and stay at 410? Is this a hardware limitation with these phones?

-Anyone else running HD2 TMous in Alaska with working Edge?

-Could my hardware be scrambled? I didnt get an unlock code from the last owner, can I factory reset it an still use my sim? Will it wipe out the unlock?

I need the phone and willing to buy an unlock code if thats what it takes but I'd like to know a "rebuild" is what it needs before I dig deeper and what that entails.

Thanks a thousand times folks for any help!

Several general things to make your titanium backup and restore experience actually work properly.....

Be sure to be in debugging mode.

When first opening titanium, hit the menu button and go to preferences. Scroll all the way down to "app processing mode" and switch to "Auto, indirect"

NEVER restore system data (red and green text in titanium). Only apps. I know its a pain, but its easier to re-setup accounts and all that than restore and take the chance of the problems that usually arise from restoring system stuff.

I hope this helps people....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Twoam:
Restoring the data from apps that have the Titanium Backup icon will restore your wifi settings and your accounts along with various other settings.

To restore your contacts load the data from Contacts Storage 2.2 and not the contacts application itself.

How do we get TB to save to the external card? When I load a new ROM I have to use App Brain to redownload everything because I cannot find the TB files on the Ext SD card
[Captivate Themes and Apps] himmelhauk:
Just copy the Titanium Backup folder to your external SD, then copy it back over after you flash.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] codeles:
I wasn't sure about this myself so what I did was just copy the TB folder to my computer and then copy it back to SD when I needed it. Maybe not the preferred method but it works.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RebDovid:
Why?

The app itself recommends AUTO, Direct, and says that AUTO, Indirect is (If you have problems).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] C3P0LOL:
Under preferences change the backup folder to /SD/backup (for 2.1) /SD_external/backup (for leaked froyo). Make sure to look in that folder when restoring backups after a new flash.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] C3P0LOL:
External_SD for froyo..... sorry
[Captivate Themes and Apps] techmik67:
Cause it works.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] david717:
It works with AUTO Direct as well? So can you provide more information? Don't put out false information. Some people take a lot of what is posted as completely accurate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] techmik67:
False information? GTFO. Many people posted that batch restore "freezes" for them. Mine used to also, every time. Then I went to a titanium forum, found out to switch to indirect, and have NEVER had a problem since.

You don't wanna use it, don't. But don't accuse me of putting out wrong info .....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] david717:
I didn't accuse you. "Cause it works" isn't an ideal explanation. So what you're saying is. "hit the menu button and go to preferences. Scroll all the way down to "app processing mode" and switch to "Auto, indirect" ...if you are experiencing freeze issues." He asked a simple question, why post a useless/snarky reply to him?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] techmik67:
Looking back thru this thread, i see that i may not have explained WHY i posted this, so i will. As i said in the quote above, I searched a while to get ANY tibu support. That tip was THE MOST RECOMMENDED for problems, and it worked for me, so I thought I'd try to help others by posting. I apologize for not explaining further.

As far as being a little short in the last replies, i did not like being accused of posting false info.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] david717:
I do apologize for saying it was false. Just bad wording on my part, and could have been said more... politely.

Also, being pretty new to Android. It actually took quite some time to find out some the TiBu information you posted.

Thanks for the tip!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] techmik67:
I was pulling my hair out for a whole day searching for good support for titanium, and FINALLY found that 1 tip, and found it worked EVERY time for me on batch restore. So i just wanted to help others by posting it, and felt offended by the wording.

Let's say "no harm, no foul" =)

And I'm glad if the tip benefits you!!! =))
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sremick:
Where is this? Is it part of Froyo? Because I'm on 2.1 and I can't find it in the marketplace.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jeremytanner:
It's something you'll see in the list of system items you can back up in Titanium Backup. Basically, scroll down the list of things you can back up, and anytime you see the Titanium Backup logo next to a system-type item (it'll usually be green) that's some system settings thing you can backup to later restore. It won't be an app, just some settings. I don't know if the Contacts 2.2 will show up for a 2.1 OS. Can't test that myself at this point.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dathaeus:
Hey, thanks for the post, but question since you brought it up here and I was going to start another thread but you seem pretty knowledgeable about this...

When you install a new ROM or backup and restoring apps, is using TB really "clean"? I am so used to Windows crapola, that someone told me it is "cleaner" to just reinstall all your apps instead of risking some "crap" getting transferred over through TB's process.

I understand to not backup and restore system stuff now, but what if u do apps only, which is really the better, cleaner way to install in a new ROM?

Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jde984:
i guess if you want the "cleanest" possible way, you should just reinstall the apps, but honestly i've never had a problem restoring with tibu (well that's not entirely true, but that was due more to user error :eek:)

if you do have a problem with a restored app you can always uninstall and reinstall from the market.

but everybody has their own voodoo rituals, so just find what works for you and makes you happy.:highfive:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dathaeus:
Thanks.. I just reinstalled all the apps from free TB that didnt require any saved stuff to restore without data, and then the ones that did (like K9 mail) I restored with data and for now it seems all fine except for a glitch in my stock txt messager, go figure... :mad:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phlashaholic:
Does the pro version install everything back automatically? Not this click install click done bull**** for every app. I used go backup for a while but had force closes on lots of apps after restore
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Yes, it does. However, you shouldn't restore settings, particularly if you're going between ROMs. I use it extensively, and have never had a problem with it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phlashaholic:
Phone settings or like app settings? And why is that?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gerbsterkiller:
Any data settings other than app settings is what they are talking about NOT to use. Every ROM is different and uses the information differently, and most ROMs are all set up differently. For instance, transferring your WiFi or Bluetooth settings from one ROM to another could cause those modules to malfunction, and any app that uses those settings could also malfunction because of this. I have been using TiBu for a couple years now and have never had any problems with the default settings, but I have also NEVER backed up system settings because it has always shown to cause problems.

And the Pro version is definitely worth the price considering the time it takes to reinstall every app one by one is very tedious, and the batch setting makes it almost one click.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phlashaholic:
alright thanks i have done that before maybe that explains some issues i was facing before.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] johnyjin:
Nice Thread

Totally useful for titanium backup's newbie, just like me! I just installed titanium backup this afternoon after getting back from school without much hesitation to brush bravia engine 2 which before installing titanium backup :) :good::good::good::good::good::good:

Thanks, saved me from running into a ton of issues.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Klitoni:
im going to highjack the thread sorry.

I have rooted my gingerbrea today and installed titanium backup.Tomorrow ill flash CM10.

After the flash should i install titanium backup ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bane99:
After you flash CyanogenMod, then yes, install Titanium Backup from the market (and hopefully pro if you've bought it).

Under preferences, direct the backup location to wherever you have it set on your device (I have mine on my external microSD).

The program will instruct you to hit back to reload the app info.

Then you can go ahead and do a batch restore. Have fun!

Welcome. Flashing has become quite the hobby for myself. I read through these forums everyday. Still pretty new to android though, the EVO is my first. I started with Fresh, and have moved around DC is pretty good, and I liked CM. But I'm back on Fresh again, there have been a lot of improvements since 0.3. I also like Launcher Pro, give that a whirl and if you like it, donate! The widgets are great, and it's important to support devs that deliver something so awesome.

I'm having an issue getting ringtones located in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to be recognized by the system, while those same files in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ works fine.

bangsters 1.5 but I don't think this has anything to do with the specific build...

is this a known issue that is another one of those things that everyone knows about and assumes that everyone else knows, so it is never mentioned?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Flashben:
In Android, you need to use some apps like Ringdroid or Ringo to trim and save the ringtones as ringtones or notification tone then you can set them as ur ringtone or notification tone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enneract:
Uhm... did you read the first post?

I understand how to get them to work off the sdcard, without using any such app.

The problem is that they don't read off the internal data image.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enneract:

this is getting really irritating, that I have to reset my ringtones and notifications after entering usb mass storage mode...

I found this page: http://www.techit.in/turn-off-htc-desires-the-hard-key-lights/ which talks about how to turn off the hardkey lights on a Desire.

I was able to turn them off completely, but that was by accident. I am in no way a programmer and would appreciate any help I could get.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seavers11:
I want to know that too but i have not found any solution for this problem, in the new bangster build the hardwarekeys are OK so it must be possible to fix this on hyperdorid or the androidmedabuild 1.2 i think ???

Are you saying in bangsters build the lights for call, home, windows, back, and send stay on as long as the LCD backlight? Is this correct?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seavers11:
In the Bangster Build the keylight is on when power on the HD2... after 10 seconds the light shut off but when i press a hardware key the light powers on... thats perfect....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AMCJUNGLE:
That would be a step in the right direction for me, but i dont want them to turn off until the backlight turns off.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sn0wmis3r:
Now that we have the awesome FM radio app in our CM nightly builds (thanks to the miui crew and cyanogen), I decided to take a stab at creating a custom theme for it. I am quite pleased with what I came up with and wanted to share.

For now it is only a metamorph, I can possibly make a flashable zip if there is enough demand or if someone else wants to just take my artwork files and do it for me :)

Make a nandroid backup!

Download it to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/ and apply it via MetaMorph

Reboot your phone after you apply it to see the changes.

Tested and working on:

CM6: builds 203 - 216

MIUI 0.10.15 deodexed

Let me know how you like it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PhantomRampage:
Looks nice! Thanks man, will give this a try later today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
Nice :D

I think that's the only thing that is not so great about the FM app is how it looks, no offence to the MIUI guys!

Any chance of this working on 203 or shall i just wing it? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sn0wmis3r:
Yeah sure I tested it on 203 and it works. I'll update the OP to say that as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slekerz:
can you make it for miui rom , that would be great:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sn0wmis3r:
Sure, I'll give it a shot later today when I'm home from work. It might even work as is on a deodexed miui rom like rod's, but I'll need to test first. I'll update the OP later after I test.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
I tried the"recondition battery" I let my phone die wiped battery stats let phone charge fully and now my phone dies even faster than before.. Wth I should just stook with what I was getting smh.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Battery life is really relative, you can't control everything you do on a daily basis on your phone. You can't control the number of email, text message you received, etc. or the signal reception.

So, perhaps the battery now die faster because you change the way you used your phone? It's a possibility.
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
It's you.

I say that because you don't follow instructions.

Step 1 is to CHARGE FULLY FIRST. Where did you see that it says let it die and wipe?

Reading is fundamental.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
I use my phone the same and on bionix 1.8 thread someone posting two ways to do it one was chargefully and wipe and they other was let die then wipe..

Should I charge fully then wipe now to see if that will fix?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Bionix says to charge fully then wipe..

I doubt it's possible that reconditioning would worsen your battery life. It could be a bad app or a setting that needs to be changed. For example, the Facebook app is defaulted to refresh itself every hour.

Aside from reconditioning (which really is just to kind of calibrate your battery status with the rom) it's best to check your running apps. If you leave GPS on, some apps run it in the background etc etc.

I think people spend too much time tracking their battery life that they ultimately cause it to worsen. No need to wake the screen every 5 mins to track battery etc. I get EXCELLENT standby time using bionix mainly bc I don't take out my phone unless I need it to use, vs tracking battery.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
Yeah that's the thing when I first flashed bionix1.7 my battery would last forever buy now even on standby without checking my phone it will die.. It didn't do that before the failed attempt at battery recondition which I should not have done in the first place :( hopefully it will get better
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
Anyway to fix this? Should i fully charge then wipe?
[Vibrant General] tenjhotenge:
There's no guarantee that your battery will be fixed once you do it correctly. You could just have a defective battery. My first Vibrant was defective that could not get any reception and on top of that my battery would drain real fast.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Your question has been answered twice already:

Do I really need to say it again? Charge fully, then wipe!
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Actually, You are supposed to let it charge fully > let it die > plug it in & let it charge (While off) > wipe batt stats > boot > done
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
I also read a post where it said letting the battery die completely is bad for "health" I guess I'll just not mess with it at all lol
[Vibrant General] beren28:
Er, if you wipe the stats, won't it "forget" the draining and charging you did first, making them pointless?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i reconditioned my battery when i flashed bionix 1.8 and haven't noticed any difference in battery life.
[Vibrant General] jdkackley:
Simple answer, no! You will wipe all battery stats previously stored. Starting with a fresh charge and no batt data the fone will have to re-learn the battery data and this should give you a more accurate representation ( cuz thats all it really is ) of battery state from that point on. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
No, his point is that you have extraneous steps. Wiping stats AFTER a charge--drain--recharge is pointless. All you have to do is charge to full with the phone off, wipe stats, reboot.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, in theory you can reduce the life of the battery. But batteries are cheap, and I doubt I'll ever have this phone long enough to see my batteries go bad.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
Ima just leave my phone alone the roms are good enough
[Vibrant General] beren28:
Exactly. Why charge it, drain it, then delete? The stars start over. The draining and charging are forgotten.

Sure, you wasn't to start fully charged, but draining it first seems pointless.
[Vibrant General] LovellKid:
Straight from Cyanogens Wiki-

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Troubleshooting

"Battery recalibration

If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following:

Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)

Boot to recovery mode and go to console (or adb shell) and type:

mount -a

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

NOTE: Newer Amon_Ra and ClockworkMod recoveries have an option to delete the battery stats, do this in place of the console commands above.

NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the phone immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for CM to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the phone, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.

Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.

Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would."
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I've wondered this -- what does the conditioning actually "fix"? (I understand it doesn't affect the way the battery physically charges & drains.) Is the problem (pre-reconditioning) that the phone is thinking/saying it's fully charged when it's not, and so you're not starting off with the 100% charge you thought you were? Or is the problem that the phone thinks (and represents) that the battery is discharging faster than it really is, as you use it? Or something else?

Also, I've read others on here talk of allowing the battery to completely discharge, and then charging to 100%, ~1x per month -- without any talk of "wiping stats." Is that supposed to be something different altogether? Thx
