[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AWD_Maniac:
Do you guys use S!Mail at all? I downloaded the "Softbank ﾒｰﾙ" app from the market just to get it working (I hate standard SMS size limit). Do you know if other SMS apps support it? (I doubt it).

By the way, I've been exchanging messages with starrwulfe and it seems Softbank uses a handful of APNs for different models. In my case I could extract and use the settings from my Dell Streak without too much problem, they are different from the ones you posted.

One thing I noticed is that my 3G Data speeds vary a lot. I'm getting results on the speedtest.net app ranging from 100 kbps to 3 Mbps. Upload seems to be capped at 300 kbps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrwulfe:
I'll get MMS setup somehow... S! Mail doesn't split into conversation view, so I'm against it a little... I've been used to SMS/MMS that way since the Treo days!

Also I'm using my Atrix+laptop dock as a cloudbook; I bought a tiny pocket wifi router that I use when I'm at work to plug into the ethernet cable on my desk. Everywhere else, I'm using the cell network... There was an APK that would auto-connect to Softbank's wifi networks on my old phone... I need to find that so I can use it with the atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrwulfe:
OK, I gave in and downloaded S! Mail from the market for the time being. I can't push the jakemod mms.apk because I'm on a mac and there's no motorola USB drivers now (unless you know something I don't!)

However that may not be necessary; Japan will be getting intercarrier SMS in July! Now (just like everywhere else) we can just text using someone's phone #.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
I was having no Luck with the gosms. Good to hear about the SMS by.number thing though I leave Japan July 15
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrwulfe:
Yeah-- I so want to use the stock MMS on here. Cest la vie. Seems like I should pause a bit and wait for the Gingerbread update anyhow, right?

Where ya headed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Back to the US.....Whidbey Island, Wa. Stock mms sucks IMO. I like handcent the best.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrwulfe:
Yeah I agree, handcent is best, but I need to be able to have that other stock MMS thing corrected first. If I could get the MMS useragent for one of the android phones on softbank, perhaps that'll work... Gingerblur has the MMS.apk modded already too.

Let me try that.

Looks like I was successful!

I found all my useragent info here: http://deviceatlas.com/node/2424593

I just did put it in there and it worked like a charm.

This should mean I can use Handcent too, since it uses the stock MMS program to run.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Worked like a charm. Set us in messaging app and handcent work sending and receiving. Thanks

Hi Starrwulfe,

I've been searching for answers on my problem with Atrix too, and i stumbled upon this thread. You said below you were able to finally make it work with Softbank, referring to that pade in modaco.

I have been reading that thread and did everything written there, but I still could not make my atrix to work. Which APN settings did you use?

I thought I should be using the one's for the black sim since i am an iphone4 softbank user, but it doesnt connect me to internet still.

Like you, I am also new to android, moreso with modifying it.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrwulfe:
Yeah, you should be using those APN settings because you do have a black iPhone four sim card. So maybe softbank flip the switch on something and change the setting? My situation was a little different because I actually have a android softbank phone, and the settings were unpublished. Are you sure you're not missing a setting somewhere? You do know that with the AT&T version of our phone you have to actually edit a text file in the file system somewhere as root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kermit03:
Yes, I found on a different thread here that I need to input the username and password on that file

/system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options

I was able to do this too, but it still does not work. I will try with another friend who has an android softbank phone if this works.

Its really frustrating because this is the only step that I could not do.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eso Rimmer:
To starrwulfe and _Dennis_:

I've just bought ATaT Atrix from ebay. I have Softbank's Sharp 003SH and Motorola Milestone. I've managed to get my Milestone working with Softbank's simcard with changed APN and mms.apk. Now I want to switch to Atrix but I have problem.

Network data isn't working. Notification bar shows "H+" but when I open browser it says there is no internet connection. I've installed 2 OTA updates and now my system says I have this version:

System version: Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android ver.: 2.2.2
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3

You guys said it's necessary to modify username and password in /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options. What kind of username and password?

And of course I need root for this anyway. Considering system version of my phone it seems I have "1.83" so I have to downgrade to 1.26 to be able to get root, right? Should I follow this guide to get root (downgrade to 1.26)? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

Do I need to make any backup of my system before the downgrade or is it not necessary and original ATaT's ROMs can be downloaded from internet and flashed by some program? Thanks for reply.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eso Rimmer:
OK, so I've found it's not really necessary to downgrade to 1.26 to get root. I installed GingerBreak, modified username and password in /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options file to my gmail account. Than added APN from first page of android.modaco.com.

Data still not working. :( There is still H+ icon visible on notification bar and it doesn't disapear even when I disable data in phone's settings. Dunno what to do else.:confused:

EDIT:

Sorry, I'm really stupid! Once I've changed user name and password to APN's values, data started to work. So, everything seem to be working...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kermit03:
Atrix with Softbank still doesnt work for me. Does it matter if my Atrix is rooted running the 2.3.4 version of Android?

I borrowed my friend's Softbank Galapagos sim yesterday. I changed the username and password on the pppd-ril.options file with the details I got from monaco page for non-iphone softbank sims. Also set the APN's from that page. Data on 3G was turned on. There must be something wrong with what I am doing but I could figure out where.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eso Rimmer:
I'm using Atrix in Softbank's network. My system is 2.2.2 and I modified the configuration file with APN's username and password, added APN (opensoftbank) from modaco and installed MMS.apk from takuo.jp/junk/Mms.apk/non-cm-froyo/ Than I had to change User agent in mms app's settings to iPhone. Now I have internet and mms (emails) working.

Once I did this, received messages appear even in stock message app. The only problem is that I'm getting every message twice, which means double message in mms.apk and double message in stock messaging apk. Any idea how to fix this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
anyone got this working on a softbank PREPAID sim?

i have a prepaid SIM, and an ATT atrix runnign CM7. i had to flash an Asia radio (1.100) to get it to see the SoftBank network, and running the open.softbank or mailwebservice.softbank APN i can get my e-mail/mms messages notifications, which is sender / subject. BUT i cannot download the message, or send a message. i set my user agent in the CM7 message app to tons of different softbank phones, the 707sc, 708se, 705p, x01 and nothing works. has anyone else got any tips or what they did that was successsful?

Also, while I can see signal bars, I do not show an "H+" or "3G" next to it. not sure if this is indicative of anything.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
To get data working on post paid I had to set apn username and password in /system/etc/pop/peers/pppd-ril.options
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
prepaid doesn't do data )= i'm just trying to get MMS to work.. it's either the UserAgent is wrong (but i've tried like 4 valid ones), or something with the radio i'm using isn't recognizing the network properly.

which radio are you guys using for AT&T atrices on SoftBank? I couldn't see any network using the stock CM7 1.77.30P radio so I flashed the 1.100 Asia radio and it saw network, but using the MMSReq app for softbank mms requesting says it can't get a proper connection to the network, and I don't see a 3G/H+ icon next to my signal bars.

atrix on softbank = no go so far

srry new user but I have been searching for quite some time all over for a solution and/or assistance in the right direction.

seems no new information has come out after 2011...

motorola atrix 4g originally from ATT. unlocked. rooted w/ system access. Cannot get internet/data (I do have an internet/data plan). tried the apn from modaco, another one posted on this forum, as well as pulling the APN from my softbank phone and entering that. Also edited my /system/etc/...options.ill or whatnot file to reflect correct username/password.

I don't care about text messaging, just need phone for internet and calls. My softbank 003z is terribly slow compared to the atrix haha.

I have busy box (i think thats the name) and SU access (root) and the APN i would think would be guaranteed to work. yes I have data enabled.

any tips/hints from someone using an atrix in japan? btw yes i have a smartphone sim too haha.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubleohkevin:
any help would be flippin amazing.. :D especially from someone with experience on this.. perhaps i need to wipe my phone again and start from square one or something? will try this while i wait for a response.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dyna5ty:
So I was up literally 6 hours trying to root my Inspire 4g. I was able to get the temporary software on the phone however when I try and do the hackerize-ace rage it says the file cannot be found and obviously the commad /data/local/tmp/rage doesnt work on the mobile terminal as well. I have tried both the "one" click root option and doing it manually serveral times and cannot seem to get passed that. I have also tried it on 2 different computers and same thing. I do not have any anti virus software installed on my computer.

Seperate isssue now is every time I try and start the process all over again I either get 2 different errors. 1st one is it cannot write the file because it doesnt have permission to and the second is the incorrect model id error when checking the file. I am using the same gold card I originally made.

Like I said I was up for hours trying to root this device and I am running into several issues. Maybe I was just tired and missing a step but any help would be much appreciated.

Side note im at work so I will not be able to do anything until later today but I remember details of the process so feel free to shoot ideas at me.

Thanks

While previous versions of Google's mobile operating system were built for smartphones, Honeycomb -- also known as Android 3.0 -- is the first to be designed specifically for tablet-size devices.

How about a more modular kernel so that you can start with a very minimal bare-bones setup and add only the functionality that you need?

Same with web browser. Sometimes it's nice to have everything (flash, SVG, etc.) but sometimes minimal and fast is much more desirable.

Window Manager with Focus options Like X

One of the great features of X11 window mangers is control of the focus.

2.2 is totally lacking in a windows manager, fair enough it is designed for a phone, but a tablet OS needs a decent window manger. Ideally it would be like X11 a component that is developed by Vendors.

Focus as in where the keyboard is directed.

In MS Windows this is always the fore most window, while traditionally in X11 it is the window under the mouse (or last window that was under the mouse)
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
So my first Inspire apparently had a GPS radio issue, it would never lock on, Navigation wouldn't work, etc. I was running Revolution 3.1 Sense ROM and Set CPU OC to 1.2ghz. Phone worked great apart from the GPS issue.

I exchanged the first phone yesterday for one with GPS that works great and proceeded to set it up exactly like the first phone, Revolution 3.1 Sense, Set CPU OC to 1.2. But the moment I started Set CPU and it acquired SU permission the phone locked up. And I mean completely locked up, even the live wallpaper stopped moving. I had to do a battery pull and a factory reset just to get the phone to boot again.

I tried everything to get it to work, reflashed the Buzz kernel, reflashed the ROM, flashed a different ROM and then flashed back, restored the ROM from my previous phone. No luck, Set CPU locks up the new phone.

The phone still works great, but it concerns me that Set CPU worked before just fine and doesn't work now. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix? Is it possible HTC made a hardware revision after the first production run that is now causing compatibility issues with OC kernels?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Actually just ran into this today. I have two inspires and the first one I got does fine with oc and setcpu but the one I just picked up causes instafreeze when trying to oc. I was going return it and grab another to see if it was just my particular phone but am curious now that I have seen your post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Sorry to hear that, but so glad I'm not the only one! If you exchange the one that freezes

please

let me know the result!
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Damn that sucks to hear, I had an inspire on launch day, returned it just cause I wasn't too happy with it and got the atrix. The bootloader issue makes that phone useless to me so I returned it and picked up another inspire off contract, and this one performs WAAAAY better than the first one did stock. Even Linpack confirms. My first ones top score when stock never topped 38 or so, deff. never hit 40 stock. This one consistently hits 41+, and I was just thinking there may have been a software update since then that slightly improve CPU performance but didn't look into it at all. Hopefully this isn't a new batch that HTC did something stupid to, but ill find out tonight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
I kinda think this too. My first one was a launch unit, I bought it a day or two after they hit shelves. This new one is getting Quadrant scores as high as my first one with no OC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Has there been any software updates since launch or no
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
No idea, I was so focused on custom ROMs since I've owned it I haven't noticed if anything official came out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Well, looks like I might have my answer: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12074403&postcount=2056

Still don't know why one phone would work and the other wouldn't though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Just an update:

Went and got a different inspire today and it does not have the problem with locking up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Weird. So I updated to the new Revolution ROM with the updated Buzz kernel that's supposed to fix the issue and my new phone still locks up. So there has to be two different version of this phone out in the field, unless someone who knows more than me can tell me what's up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
If I was you i would swap it out if you still can so you don't have to worry about the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
What excuse did you use the second time :p

First time I swapped I had a legit reason with the GPS not working, I'll have to think about what to tell them this time since I can't say "Set CPU can't overclock this phone once it's rooted."

I'm still hoping someone knows what this is though, pretty sure it's not a defect since the phone actually works better than my first one, everything else considered.

[HD2 General] adyordache:
i recently bought a htc hd 2 and since i got it , it doesn't see any sd card , i tried several different cards, different brands and still same result .. no SD card.

if the display is off and i put the card in it , the display lights on ... so it detects it in some way . pls help ... i bought it from somebody so ... no warranty :(
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If the screen lights up the hardware that pbysicaly recognizes the card was inserted works. I would sugest taking a SD card and put it into a SD card reader then plug it into a computer via USB and reformattings it use Fat 32. If still a no go try doing a hard reset of the phone by turning it off and then holding the volume up and volume down button down and press the power button down. Continue to hold the volume up and down buttons down until you see the muticolor screen then follow the on screen instructions. If still no dice after the reset then try flashing another ROM. If you still have the problem after you flash another ROM then it is probably a hardware problem of somekind.
[HD2 General] adyordache:
i tried what you suggested but still same problem ... i have the latest rom 3.14 and i also updated the spl to 3.03 ... stil no result ... i'm afraid you're right ... it might be a hardware problem ...but if not ... anything else to try ??

is there any other method to acces the card except from with-in the windows ... ? in this way i'll be sure if it's a hardware problem or not
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you could flash magldr, aply clockwork, and use clockworks 'mount sd', plug in usb and see if the pc sees it as an external drive. if it doesnt you have a real problem.

A bent pin would be my guess, breaking data, but allowing detection of an inserted card. a realllly steady hand, microscope, bright light and mini tweezers perhaps??

edit - in fact you dont even need step2, clockwork, cos magldr can mount sd, it just doesnt like big file transfers,. but its good enough for this test.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Samsamuel's sugestion is a good one but you can also try this first but being as your Win Mo is not picking up your SD card I don't know if this is a 100% prof psitive way to check but it does not require MAGLDR. Just plug your HD2 into your computer and see if Hard drive option appears on your phone screen and if so see if your computer recognizes it as a mass storage or removable storage divice. But you have to have the hard drive option on your phone and select it to be able to check it on your computer. If this does not work then try Samsamuel's sugestion.

If I am wrong here Samsamuel please tell me so cause I do not want to give bad advice to someone.
[HD2 General] adyordache:
T-Macgnolia thanks ... the Hard drive option does not appear ...

how many pins it should be ??? i can count only 7 but the card has 8 conectors
