SIM card or network error

Guys,

I flashed Andromeda 3 on my Captivate successfully while following the instructions. I tried another custom ROM too before Andromeda. I am facing a problem after flashing any custom ROM. The phone is not detecting the sim card, It says No Service. If I try to access call settings I get error message, "SIM or Network Error". If I try to set up an APN it says Insert SIM card to access network services. There are no signal bars.

If I flash back to stock 2.1 using Odin, it works fine.

Please help me fix this. I tried searching on xda forums but looks like I am the only one facing this problem.

Those with reception issues...

Do not restore all data with titanium backup. Only restore missing Apps with data.

If that does not work, you can try a different modem.

If you're commingle from something crazy like cyanogenmod or miui, then you are likely missing your service provider settings. You will need to restore them.

A friend of mine installed a 3g monitor once which also changed his wireless provider settings.

Just installed

Ok trying to get this to work on captivate. I have 2.2 installed via I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears(1)

Rooted and installed exactly as the video link shows, but its stuck at the boot screen. It shows the Andromeda load animation then goes black and vibrates like its force closing something. Have tried 2 times to install. Any one have any ideas? Read through several pages and have found nothing yet. Thanks.

SIM card or network error or No service

AdamOutler,

Thanks for the pointers but its not working.

I tried restoring missing Apps with data only. Also tried 2 different modems given on teamkomin site. That didn't work either.

When I flash it back to stock 2.1 using Odin one click, upgraded through Kies mini to froyo, there was same problem. No reception and phone says No service.

I have tried 2 different custom ROMS- Andromeda3, Cognition. Flashed many times without errors but the problem persists.

Baseband version is always Unknown other than when I am on stock 2.1.

When I try to select band with *#2263# there is a black screen, I can't do anything there.

When I try to check network lock with *#7465625# it throws a force close error (The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again later.) with only one Force Close button.

Is it possible to use the old stock modem with Andromeda3? If yes, how can I install it? Same way by flashing the modem zip through recovery?

If you know another solution or want me to try something else, please let me know.

Thanks !!

Very Slow 3g Speed After Good Intall

Hi all,

After what was a very painless install everything seemed to be working fine until I fired up the market place, speed was so slow it never loaded.

Tried the web, and it took over 4 min to load google.com The entire time the little "H" was flashing in place of the "3" in "3g"

Is there something I need to do after an install to get cell data to work correctly. I am in North Dakota, and we just switch over to a brand new ATT network if that matters in some way.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Slow data speeds - no 'H', mostly just Edge

Having a strange issue here. I was not happy with performance of my phone and decided to reflash and after doing so I am getting slow data performance on ATT network. I never had this issue before and have done everything I can think of to shake it loose. In the house I never get better than Edge and outside I might get a 3G indicator, but never 'H'. The performance loading web pages and such reflect what the indicator shows. I even swapped SIM with my wifes Cappy to see if that may be the issue, but it stayed with the phone. Her phone is on Andomeda3, UM2, JK4 modem.

List of what I've tried:

Reflashed Andromeda3

ODIN to JF6

Reformated using CWN

ODIN to JF6 (again)

Reflashed Andromeda3 (again)

Applied UrsaMinor2

Applied JK4 modem (was main modem in the past)

All to no effect, got same results each time.

Any suggestion appreciated.

Camera setting to save photos in external SD

Hi. I just flashed Andromeda 3 (from Rogers stock Froyo firmware).

If you are having problems, try flashing back to stock, then flash Andromeda3. Then do a nandroid backup. Then restore missing apps with data with titanium backup. When you have a problem do a nandroid restore and selectively restore your apps with titanium backup. Andromeda3 has no such problems.

Question about JK4 modem

I tried to search the XDA forum and can't find what I want. Probably I didn't use the right keyword to search.

I switch from Rogers stock firmware (I896UXJL1) to Andromeda 3. From the bits and pieces I gather I am now running JK4 modem. My question is JK4 better than the original JL1 ? If yes, then in what way is it better ? Sometimes I am confused by the naming. If L comes after K, should JL1 better than JK4 ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Modems vary by area and what may better for one person on their may not be better for another person on their phone. Try them out and see which one gives you better reception and/or voice than another. There is an entire thread dedicated to modems.

Should I be Concerned?

I have received this message three times in the last four days. If I open up my battery stats it says that it has been about twenty hours since last charge, which may me last full charge, with over 80 % used by the display. I searched the xda site but only got some thee year old info about some htc phones. Should I be concerned about this (or should I just fully charge my battery)?

Edit: I attached the wrong screen shot. The message I received three times has similar color to this message but it says that the memory is getting full and then it says something about the battery and that message ends in the word "false." I think I was using my email each time. (Since I don't get many error messages with Andrmeda, I thought this was the same message when I took the sceen shot)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
To summarise a bit...

AOSP was to blame, Samsung drew code from AOSP and ported to Armani. We ported from Armani to Andromeda. We inherited the problem. I opened the issue and after discussion, it was assigned a WONTFIX status. I have not seen the issue since I decompiled and recompiling the system framework in revision 29. I may have made changes, but I didn't keep good notes. http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/updates/list?num=50&start=100

It might be due to, or at least triggered by, the battery mod though. I get that error message every once in a while, using the mod I made, not the circle battery one. Sometimes I get the standard low battery error message.

I have not done anything significant to this phone (flashed or updated anything significant). I started to get this message late last week (got it again this morning), which is the reason for my original inquiry.

On a related note, and only from anecdotal data, I do think my battery does drain (slightly) faster than before.

CIFS?

I thought I had read that Andromeda supports CIFS. I just installed CIFS Manager, and cannot get a mapping. The FAQs indicate that the ROM/KERNEL probably don't support it. I don't find any references to CIFS in this thread.

Do I need to install a different kernel to get this?

I am trying to install this because for some reason, on mh ASUS Laptop, the Samsung drivers do not seem to be working. When I plug in the phone, for some reason it beeps and brings up references to remote drives, but when I double click them, I get "Please insert removable disk messages".

You've rebooted to verify that it doesn't work?

You are sure that the framework-res.apk file is specific for Andromeda3?

The filename of the file containing the circle battery mod should be named exactly "framework-res.apk" (without the quotes). First go to the system/framework folder in root explorer and click the Mount R/W button at the top of the screen. Then go to wherever on your sd card you have the modified framework-res.apk file, long press on the file and select Copy from the popup menu, then navigate to the system/framework folder and press the Paste button on the bottom of the screen.

Hey guys,

I just flashed Andromeda3/UrsaMinor four days ago and I'm just kind of wondering about my battery life -- it hasn't been nearly as good as it was prior to flashing (even after removing a widgets and turning off auto-sync, which I never used to do). This was my first flash ever, so I'm wondering if that's the reason or what. I did a lot of reading and I know everyone says battery life is going to be different for everyone and it depends on whether or not you flashed it with a full battery (which I think I did). I even did that bump charge cycle (wiping batterystats) to attempt to recalibrate it after I flashed.

But most people have been saying A3 has given them the best battery life they've ever had. So I was wondering if it's something I should be worrying about yet, or if I should wait it out for another week. Or if I should attempt to start over and reflash and make sure I do it with a full battery.

Even just today the phone charged to 100% and as soon as I unplugged it the percentage dropped to 96%.

Any thoughts?
