Well, I have been using my BA for about 4 months now, and I have come to realize, that I am missing some features and I have no idea why, or how to fix it to work properly.
I have T-Mobile and have full normal Text Messagign and Phone use, and Wifi works great.
My two main issues are:
MMS doesn't work, or have a setting to use
No Data Connection available
If someone can help me fix these issues that would be great, as right now I have no clue where to start.
Thanks -- Ethan
What ROM are you using?
what operation system is on your PC?
I am using Xplode's 6.1 ROM, with XP
Try upgrading your ROM to one of the newer ones.
I am impressed with the one I have so far..

Hi there all,
I've installed one of the WM6 cooked roms and have experienced problems with my WiFi and connecting to available hot spots. Before you flame me I have tried the search function but to no avail... could some one tell me if there is a rom which does not cause this issue? Is there a fix?

That thread's all about what to do if you already have the problem (summary... wait). He's looking to avoid the problem in the first place. Seems that now that they know the cause, if not the cure, someone might know what's ROM or procedure is causing the issue for so many people.
Pointed him there as that is most likely where the "cure" AND other information can be found about this issue (ie: don't load this ROM or whatever...).
Thanks Dave for clearing that with Jeffrey. The issue is my wireless lan works on the original os and has not vanished like the others. I was just wondering if there was a version of WM6 for the Jasjam that did not create the issue with the wifi connection. The only issue being it does not connect like to any of the discovered hot spots...
From what I have read the problem is mostly in the latest releases. For example you might want to check the LVSW 07/05 thread as I don't think it had the wifi problem.
it seems all trial and error.. I'm currently (well still actually) using the latest LVSW and i dont have any serious trouble. The one thing was that it wouldnt connect right after the flash but it did after the device detected the network .. No logic there i know
Ye i need to fix my sig
hi all, sorry to be a pain but will LVSW 5/19 update potentially cause any wifi probelms coz i am about to update mine and my gf's and i dont want to get *****ed at. if you know what i mean -.-;
cheers,
kind regards

Although no one can say for sure how your phone and the software you use will work with a specific ROM, the best thing you can do is read the thread specific to that ROM and see what others are saying.
So far I've installed Black 2.5, Black 3.01 and LVSW 5/19 and all of them have given me issues with wifi. My wifi still works but it is highly picky with what AP it will talk to.
With the original WM5 I would regularly connect to at least 6 AP's at various places and now with WM6 using the above mentioned flavours it will only connect to one of them.
I have not gone back to the original WM5 to be 100% sure but if the full RTM HERMES specific WM6 still has troubles then I will be most disappointed.
When I create a new MMS it seems to lag my phone. the whole thing runs really slow and hangs. Anyone else having this problem? I am running the stock Tmous ROM with no messaging addons.
do you have the Topaz Notification Manager installed? If so, then go to Settings>Notifications & make sure that you don't have it display a message when the MMS is sent or downloaded.. That's the only way i could get my phone from not locking up.
well I upgraded to the official Europe ROM and it seems to be fine now LOL
no i was not using the topaz manager, oh well
I get crazy lag too. How is that Europe version working for you? I am curious.
the Europe ROM is great, everything seems to work fine. only problems I have so far is I cannot find an easy way to edit the Internet Tab, the internetportal.xml file is not in its previous location on 6.1.
also, every once in awhile the sms/mms window will open up for no apparent reason LOL
I've spent the past two days trying to get some sort of data working on my AT&T Tilt in Israel (Cellcom).
No matter what I try, WiFi won't work. I've tried a number of different NBHs, and I am currently using fultotop's 320-PANEL2. . I have also tried variants of Eclair. Used Polymod 2.1g, and now using Polymod 2.1d. I have tried Polaris 1.1 as well. Nothing works, and all I get is "Unable to start WiFi."
Giving up on WiFi, I called Cellcom and asked for a data plan. I set up two APNs as per instructions. The "internetg" icon is green and when I try to use data, I have an icon in my toolbar showing some sort of a connection. However, the data does not actually work. It is worth noting that the 3G icon is not constant, and really comes and goes. It is only constant when plugged into USB, but nonetheless does not give me a usable data connection.
I've also tried two radios, 1.71.xx? and 1.70.xx?. Right now I am using the latter.
Any ideas? I'm about to just give up and use WM6.5, but I hate giving up.
All I can recommend is to keep trying different radios. People report success with all sorts of them. I personally use 1.71.x with no problems, but some have reported fully working data, wifi, etc. with 1.65.x as well. Keep trying! Once you finally get it working you'll be glad you put in the extra bit of effort!
Edit: Also make sure you are using the recommended HardSPL if you are using Android from NAND. If you're not sure what HardSPL/Radio/NBH is recommended, then ask in the thread you got your ROM from.
I'm kinda at the end of my rope trying to find a non-stock ROM that doesn't break GPS. I've tried several so far. I can't use any CM7 ROM or anything based off CM7, as GPS is useless. Recently I tried MIUI Bulletproof and loved it, but sure enough, GPS would lose signal during GPS Navigation. The only ROMs that consistently have fully functional GPS for me are the rooted Gingerbread official release and some variations like G-Lite.
There's nothing wrong with these ROMs, but I'd like to run something that has the insane speed and increased functionality that the awesome devs here and elsewhere create. It just get frustrating finding a cool new ROM, loving all the features, then finding that, as always, GPS constantly drops connection or fails to lock at all. I've done all the tricks like efs_wipe and even a proposed workaround bug fix in the General section, but no joy as of yet. So I'm back to vanilla 2.3.4. Nothing exciting, but GPS is flawless. Anyone have any tips of ROMs I may have not tried where I can get best of both worlds? Figured it won't hurt to ask.
Interesting. I'm running CM 7 and my GPS has been working fine. Assuming you did a full wipe between installs and all that recommended stuff?
Yup, I always do a Superwipe+ that does a good scrub as well as wipes the efs partitions. Plus I manually wipe the Dalvic cache. From what I've gathered, random G2 users just cannot avoid GPS problems running anything that isn't stock. CM7 and MIUI give me major GPS woes, whereas stock ROMs give me no issues whatsoever. I've been trying to get to the bottom of this since January and not much luck.
Are you sure u got no hardware problems with ur phone/gps?
My gps is working very good @cm7!
I got the same issue you said with me hd2... gps got lost, never found gps, phone freezes @navigation...
The end of the story was that my hd2 has to be repaired by HTC.

I feel like you're not going to get anywhere with this, since you've obviously tried ROMs that work fine for others. I had problems with GPS on CM7 before, but a efs wipe (and performing Superwipe+ thereafter) fixed any and all issues. The only thing I can think of is to try CM7 nightlies off of CWM (a few user reviews under each) instead of the release. I'm on nightly 204, and everything from GPS, to performance, to battery life is flawless. There's always the option of getting the G2 replaced and trying again.
Good luck!

Well, he did say he has flawless GPS on stock 2.3.4, so we can safely rule out actual issues with hardware.

Exactly. Since GPS works perfectly with stock ROMs, I have to rule out hardware problems. If it was a problem across the board, I'd already have a replacement in hand. The only thing I have not tried yet is RIL matching. Can anyone link me to it? I know the dev who had it up on these boards left XDA and took all his stuff with him. Not sure what it involves or if it may potentially help, but maybe worth a shot. I've tried flashing a few different radios and am now on the "official" radio that came with latest OTA update.

Doing the efs wipe should fix gps problems
Post on ril matching http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752 another idea is the change the gps.config file to the US server
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732030
Also if using superwipe+ there is a new version with support for 4ext partitions

Thanks for the links. I've tried efs wipe several times. Done it manually via terminal emulator and flashed the zip/superwipe+. I'll look into the RIL matching. The GPS config options appear to be specific to Verizon and the Samsung Captivate, so not sure if that one is an option for me. Thanks again for linking me to all this.

Changing the GPS server should work for any ROM,Im using unity and in the uk so not carrier specific just a matter of opening a file and changing the server values,
Luckily I've never had any serious problems with my GPS so I'm running out of ideas,there is also an app called GPS status is useful but if wiping the efs data is not helping then not sure if the app will help,best of luck finding a solution
You should check out the latest "unofficial" ILWT CM7 212b by tsubus. He includes an option to use stock HTC GPS drivers. I updated my radio to. 30, and flashed 212b (which includes the efs data wipe) and my GPS works flawlessly now. Highly recommend it. Link is in my signature.
All features are now part of/options in version 213, and all subsequent releases. Seriously, it's worth a shot...

I've got a low post count but wanted to weigh-in on the current version of the Sense 5 rom.
I'm using T-Mobile, so not sure if my issues are related to my carrier or not...
1) Bluetooth isn't working. Turning it on does not result in anything...it goes fro turning on to off. Assuming it's the HTC One S ril that the rom is based on casuing this problem.
2) HTC Messages (the stock messenger) will not let me click a link in the message. If someone send me a text with an external link, and I go to click it, it causes Messages to force quit. I can use 3rd part apps and it works fine. Just an FYI...
3) HTC Locations doesn't work but I believe that is a Sense 4/ Sense 5 issue.
Everything else seems to be working. I am using this as my daily rom and haven't had any troubles (besides the ones mentioned above).
Thank you to everyone working on this!

when I used it the dailer would freeze and fc and data wouldnt stay on 4g or h
More insights:
Camera works but the facial recognition seems to be wonkey. I've turned it off so as not to see it jumping around like crazy.
Video...not sure if this is working. I do know that it comes on and the camera crashes and I have to restart.
FM radio...not a deal-breaker, but if I stick a pair of headphones in - the tuner never lets go and stations can't be tuned in.
GPS...saw that was one of the 'not working' apps. I don't really use it for navigation...as long as you've got wifi it seems to be able to locate but driving with it is impossible as it doesn't seem to know where you or or lock your position in.
I've been using this since JMZ updated the last version (so 2 weeks?). Haven't had a problem. And none of these, for me, make this rom unusable...it would just be nice to have a fully working one with Sense 5.
I will work on it some more when I get my oc back as my desktop is old and slow.
