[Q] Cannot access Market/3G issues - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I need help.
Sorry to make a new thread i just have no idea what else to do.
Yesterday my phone was having wierd reception issues.
I could not send/recieve sms', access the internet, no 3G at all. However i could still recieve calls.
I restarted the phone, still nothing. I checked teh APNs etc.
Everything was fine in terms of settings.
After having issues with OD 4.0.15 previously i decided to do a full wipe and re flash the rom. Turns out i only had OD 4.0.4 on my phone since i was using the online updater.
After formatting and flashing the phone with OD 4.0.4 i was able to recieve sms' and make calls but the phone seemed to be unresponsive and slow.
At that time i thought i would try and download a different ROM. I downloaded LeeDroid 2.1, did a full wipe and flashed the ROM. Now sms' and calls work, however the 3G is flakey.
The symptoms i am experiencing are:
Cannot download anything from Market. Can browse the market but cannot download anything. It just hangs at "starting download"
On first boot when setting up gmail account it will not connect. I have to check teh APNs then set it up again and it works.
Everything else taht requires 3g appears to be working. Browse the net etc.
I have done the following, not in any particular order.
Flashed 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23
Flashed 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2
Flashed 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Flashed OD 4.0.15
Flashed OD 4.0.4
Flashed LeeDroid 2.1
Removed battery
Removed simcard
Tried another sim card
Formatted SD
Created a new EXT3 partition
Wiped dalvik cache
Wiped setting/cache
Im sure i have done other stuff but i forget now.
Please throw some ideas at me as i have no idea what to do now.
Cheers
Tristian

just to update this.
I have flashed another new ROM however i am still having these issues
Further testing shows that , 3G works fine when browsing etc however Market just does not work.
help?

[Q] Data-connection difficulties (APN)

Hi!
I'm still pretty new in the rooted world of Android (My first rooted ROM install was the SetROM 1.6 approx), but so far, I got a hold of rooting my phone and installing several ROMS, radio, wiping, backup, etc., and I think I got a pretty good understanding of the fundamentals
Unfortunately I have run in to a problem.
I've flashed the latest radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08 and installed the Defrost 2.1 ROM, I've done a full wipe and all went well as usually. The other day, while still back in Defrost 2.0f, I found out that I didn't have a data-connection anymore :S
I Tried other ROMS, with the same result, and I done a full wipe each time. I have enabled Market enabler, and I've checked the APN settings, and the correct ones are still activated.
I don't get a 3g-icon og HSDPA, and when I open the internet browser, it just says the page can't be shown :/
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

BTW - could it have something to do with the radio being flashed to a newer version? Or is it something in the ROM that might be changed.
I'm from Denmark, so dunno if we got some other needs that could have been removed in the ROM etc, when it was cleaned
Hope someone has an answer
PS: Where can i download older radios?

went back to SetROM 1.0 and I'm back online after a full wipe...
hmm... guess I better start working on how to get access in newer ROM's

[Q] No reception, bricked?

I´ve been searching trough internet the whole afternoon before posting, didnt find any similar.
I rooted and installed some custom roms some weeks ago. I made all the steps correctly and i got my customs roms always functional and with no problems at all.
Been using NextSense rom this last 3 weeks, all all went great. Today i decide to install the new update, 5.0 to 5.3. I did nothing special, wipe data,ext,dalvik etc and flash. As always it worked perfectly, made some calls etc. But during the afternoon i´ve lost my reception. I had all bars but seems people couldnt contact me.
Since I`ve noticed it been doing many experiments. Reflash again, reflash the radio, tried another rom (leedroid), but i cant get rid of the problem, it have different symptoms.
- After a full wipe + re flash radio (last one) + rom:
- I get bars, but cant call or receive calls nor SMS.
- I don't get bars at all
- Data connection sometimes work, some others no.
- Sometimes, after a reinstall, i get SMS of my prior lost calls, then I can make a call, only one, after that, even the bars are there, i can´t call anymore.
I´ve thought it was some kind of problem derived of Titanium Backup, but not restoring with titanium didn't help at all.
Only thing I did today, different to other days was:
adb shell
mount /system
mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
To remove some lock screen i didn't want, don't think this have nothing to do, but i want to write down as much details as i remember.
Any ideas to bring back to life my little phone?
Same thing happened to me with nextsense 5.3, I am going try another ROM

Data connections issue

Hi all,
I own a Desire GSM version and been running a pre-rooted stock ROM for quite a while and have been very happy with it. I have been running this with an ext3 partition and ran app2sd+ script to make use of it. All good.
My sense of curiosity got stronger and always wanted to try a custom ROM so I tried Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 on Monday.
I have been running the latest Radio (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) so didn’t have to update that for CM7.
I formatted the DATA as well as the CACHE before flashing the CM7 ROM, then applied GAPPS to the ROM then restarted the phone.
All went OK and I loved this new ROM, except that I have been experiencing very strange connection issues whether I am on WiFi or 3G (Vodafone AU). The phone will establish connection; however sometimes will not be able to get data out of a request as simple as getting emails, opening a webpage through the stock browser etc …
The workaround to that was to tun off wifi and turn it back on, same for 3G …
I re-flashed numerous times the ROM (formatting the CACHE/DATA each times) but was still experiencing these issues, when sometimes I couldn’t even set my Google account at the first start of the phone…
After a couple of days of scratching my head I did find a potential solution that was suggesting updating the /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so file with the one provided in the nightly build. This had no effect what so ever to the situation.
I then decided to go back to FroYo () so re-flashed the pre-rooted ROM, but then I experienced the exact same issue!! I then re-flashed the Radio ROM thinking this may have been affected by all these changes but no changes at all …
I am a bit at a loss here and don’t know how to fix that really …
Is there any setting that resides on the phone relating to Radio ROM even if I format both Data and Cache each time I flash the ROM??
Thanks for your help guys.
Any ideas on this issue at all ??

[Q] Generic network failure... HELP!

Let me start by saying, I have searched all of the treads for my phone, and the ones suggested before posting a new one, with no luck. I also searched all over other sites for an answer, about 3 hours now, and still nothing that quite fits my problem..
I have a Verizon HTC Inc2
-running 2.3.4
-Virtuous Unity v2.39.0
The problem I keep running into is that whenever I flash a new rom, or do a factory reset with clockworkmod, I can never get my phone to send or recieve MMS. It always says, generic network failure. I have tried with the HTC messages app and handsent app, both failed. The data icon in the notification area usually does not even show activity. I tried wiping the cache several times, restarts, changing data and wifi settings but to no avail. Funny thing is, I can restore my phone to the first backup I made, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and then MMS works.
Any ideas as to what may be happening? I can give you any additional info you need or ask as well. I'm not a total noob, but I feel like one right now. I just can't figure this one out on my own. Thanks!

General Network Error is when the system returns an error stating that you have no connectivity to send a message or an MMS (at least from my experience w/ it). I have this issue a lot with any messaging on my end because of shoddy reception. Which other ROMs besides Virtuous are you flashing that are giving this error? I know for a fact the CM7 has been having a LOT of issues with data connectivity. The last ones I remember hearing about with working data is #79 (or was it #80, I can't remember) and #85 and for a few people, #92.
I do have plenty of reception, always around 2 to 3 bars. Sorry I worded that wrong in my post, Virtuous is the only and first rom I flashed. I did it because Verizon OTA updates kept freezing my phone and I would get the blue android with the !. What I meant was, even when I did a factory reset, my MMS wouldnt work. First time I got that error, I was able to use bootloader and make a backup of eberything, then did a factory reset/wipe data and thats when I first noticed MMS was not working. So I copied the backup to my laptop, did another factory reset and format SD card, then I copied the backup to my card again, and did a restore with that backup. I restored data, cache, system, and boot I believe, and everything was back to normal and MMS was working. Unfortunetly I kept getting the OTA updates and each time, same problem, so this morning I read on a forum that a custom rom would prevent OTA updates, so I flashed Virtuous. I just found it odd that a normal factory reset, with no custom rom, would prevent MMS.
One more thing, not sure if its related, but I keep recieving messages from #6250 that say "VZWNMN: 1." Google searched that, most responses in forums are people saying they get the same thing and that Verizon told them they know nothing about it..
Have you tried a different radio?

People on CM were complaining of the same exact issue. They'd get bars of reception but MMS was just broken. I was just stating that when I try to send a message thru verizon and not google voice, I often get the same error message you're getting, which means that the data is being prevented from going out. I probably should've clarified that a little better lol. When you installed Virtuous, did you do a wipe data/cache and a wipe dalvik cache?
Also, if you restore back to your Gingerbread 2.3.3 that's rooted and your MMS is working fine there, then I don't believe it could be your radio. A possibility would be the kernel, but I doubt that Virtuous would package a kernel that would crash the MMS function. And since it's any SMS/MMS app, that knocks out the possibility of it being application based. The only thing I can suggest, would be to test out another ROM. If you're looking for sense based roms, go for BAMF's (http://www.teambamf.net) or Newt's Incredible 2 HD (http://www.themikmik.com). If you're looking for an AOSP based rom, go for CM7 (found on ROM Manager or at http://www.cyanogenmod.com) or MIUI (ROM Manager again, or http://www.miuiandroid.com). If you want a hybrid, I would suggest Skyraider Zeus (http://www.teambamf.net) or Gingersense (it can be found in the development portion of XDA). Remember when you flash a rom for the very first time, I'm sure you know this already, but you need to backup your rom first and then wipe data/cache and wipe your dalvik cache. Not doing either wipe before installing a brand new rom for the first time can cause unforseen errors.
Ok I found the answer while actually looking for new radios, so thanks for the post! haha
For all you out there who might run into the same problem, this is the solution I found..
Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)
1.Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).
2.Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.
3.Copy this file, ht tp://db.tt/9Ao5ErR, to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link'). This is an XML doc, sorry but since I'm new I can't just post a link, just remove the spaces between ht and tp.
4.Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.
5.You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.

[Q] network problems

Hi, I have i problem with my mobile connection.
I have been using liquidsmooth v3 for a couple months without any problem. It started when i started trying 2 stockbased roms : romaur and kitslim. I wasn't able to get mobile data working even if i tried to configure it... download mms settings, choose provider... So i decided to get back to cm, aokp... I tried lots of them : carbo, pacman, aokp, aicp... new problem. at that point mobile network worked, but i was always loosing all network connection (not just data) about 30sec each couple minutes... then i decided to restore my liquidsmooth backup. It helped a little bit, but i am still loosing connection from time to time : about 30sec each 30 min...
Right now, i just reinstalled aicp 4.4.4 r2 5.0 and moshkernel as a last attemp, but it is still not working properly.
I know all this is not very clear, but i need help!!
In the process, i installed and flashed many roms, kernels and recovery...
my question actually is what could affect my mobile connection in all that? in time i installed a new rom, i wiped data and factory reset the phone.
i remember on my samsung there were modem you could flash...?
hope someone understands my problem et asks for more info..
thanks
Flashing a load of modded ROMS wont make trying to find out any easier so you need to flash a stock ftf and do a full wipe of your Phone, I'd even wipe your SD and start from scratch.
