[Q] Some roms cannot enable mobile network - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i am quite new here.I dont know why some roms that i flashed, my mobile network is not working.there is a tick in the box but it states "use phone for data connection when wi fi is unavailable" Most roms i that have this issues are sense roms like aurax,froyodelite,leedroid and many more. Those that do work are normally stock froyo like defrost. It works perfectly fine with miui. All sense HD roms have this issue except for auraxHD. I have tried almost all the new radios and some old ones but this issue keeps happening. Much Help Would Be Appreciated!

Are the Apn settings correct in that roms..? Maybe google your apn provider settings and put it in manually

MMS problem with *all* 2.1 ROMs I've tried

Hey all,
Hoping that someone here has some insight with regard to a problem I am having with MMS.
Firstly, let me say that I have had no problems sending and receiving MMSes on my original HTC ROM, nor with Modaco 3.x ROMs.
Recently, I started trying out some of the cooked 2.1 ROMs appearing on XDA, and I am loving them. However, for the life of me, I cannot get MMS to work. I've tried CKDroid, Villian and jnwhiteh's AOSP 2.1 ROMS, and all do the same thing.
I have confirmed that my APN settings are 100% correct by reverting back to an old Nandroid backup from when I had the original ROM installed. I copied those to the LETTER, and still no luck. A work colleague has a G1 with the latest Cyanogen ROM, and I've tried his settings too. I've even flashed Cyanogen's APN list on the three ROMs I've tried, to no avail.
I can only conclude that something in AOSP 2.1 is not quite right. I'm aware that some people are having success with MMS though, and I cannot really explain this. My theory is that perhaps they have a singular APN for both internet and MMS. My Network provider requires two. Perhaps it is this "switching" between the two that is not working correctly. However, I have also tried leaving ONLY my MMS APN installed, also without success. I guess that kinda blows my theory out the water.
Pretty sure I've tried everything imaginable without having any deeper knowledge of what goes on in the background (which is why I am appealing to the boffins here).
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
I've only used the Kagudroid and Modaco ROMS. And MMS works fie on Kagudroid, so maybe give that a go?
just tried on Villian 1.2. and it works, I have as well special MMS APN. I assume you have it, but just make sure you have type=default set for the network ( not MMS ) APN.
Wow, okay thanks, I'll give that a shot!
Just to give this problem a bit od support, i have also had an MMS problem, but i have to admit i have only been using Modaco 2.9 and 3.1.
If i am on Wifi or 2G and i want to send or recieve MMS the phone will temporarily connect to 3G and download the message and then revert back. If i am already connected through 3G the phone wont download or send the message.

UPDATE: I am officially sick and tired of typing in the same APN settings over and over again, but I can now at least officially confirm that MMS (perhaps where two APNs are used) is working in both Villain 1.2.1 and KaguDroid 1.3. Identical settings do not work in CKDroid or jnwhiteh's AOSP 2.1.
What does this mean? What makes Villain and Kagu different? I believe Kagu is based on an HTC kernel, could this be it?
Either way, I hope that this information will assist the devs working on custom ROMs in finding a solution for people like kkoouu and myself. Clearly there is a problem in the mix *somewhere*.
Hi - I too have been having this problem. It works fine with Modaco 3.1, but not with Espresso Hybrid nor Villain.
Could you detail step by step how you got it working? I've never changed any APN settings ( indeed I don't know what my settings are or how to change them! ).
cheers
Villain doesn't include a huge APN list like Modaco, so you will have to input your APN settings manually. You can get these from your Modaco ROM (write them down), and input them into Villain.
Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names
The key seems to be that you MUST have "default" under TYPE for your internet APN, and "mms" for your MMS APN.
VERYYY Silly question -- do you have to have data-network on to send MMS?
I thought not - but I just tried it and it worked

What did you think a mms was sent with? MMSes are always sent vie data-network only sms work via standard gsm.

Where did you check your setting or what did you use to compare them with.
I for example am on T-Mobile in Germany. On every custom Rom I've noticed a wrong mms apn. The mmsc was always http://mms.t-d1.de but the correct one is http://mms.t-mobile.de/servlets/mms. The port was different too.
I don't know which apn list the devs are using but the apn, at least for mms with t-mobile d, are just wrong.
Correcting them solves the issue and mms can be sent and received.

Looked on orange website to compare the settings. All correct. But since the minor update 2.0.1 i havent tried mms as yet, but hopefully its fixed.

WIFI unusable with non-sense ROMs

Hello,
I have been using Sense-based roms without issue. Stock HTC, Android Revolution and LeeDrOiD_HD. Wifi sucks on them all until I activate "Best Wifi Performance" under WIFI Advanced Settings.
When I say WIFI sucks, I mean it's basicly useless. GMAIL even says "No Connection". Market fails, web browsing is like back in the 14.4k days.
Once the "Best Wifi Performance" is on, things work as expected.
My problem is when I use a non-Sense ROM, since that setting is nowhere to be found. I would love to switch to a Gingerbread ROM, but useless WIFI makes this impossible for me.
Anyone else having this issue? Any possible fix?
Thanks,
-jc
PS: This is my first post....
Have you tried upgrading the radio?

[Q] COS-Bravo-ICS - problem reconnecting with 2G or 3G after Wifi connection

Hi,
I'm using the COS-Bravo - ICS [21-May-2012] on my phone. Since the first version I flashed I've been having the same problem, but as the ROM is under development, I thought the problem would get fixed in some update. It still hasn't so I'm reporting it.
When loosing a WIFI connection, the phone must switch to a 2G or 3G network. This doesn't happen. Mostly the WIFI icon disappears as it disconnects and the signalstatus doesn't change (no Edge, Gprs or Hdspa is added). When I go to Airplane mode and back or when I switch between 2G/3G, the connection is repaired and the data-connection works again.
I've also noticed this problem with other ICS roms (Sanvold and BCM)
Does anybody have a clue what this could be?
Radio
What radio version do you have?
Its recommended to have the latest radio.
You can find the latest radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
Of course the latest radio. ;-)
I have the same issue. When turning wifi off, my Desire doesn´t get a mobile connection though it´s showing, that i would be connected.
Switching to 3g and back doesn´t work for me.

Same problem here with Sandvolds ICS
I have this problem nearly 2 years now on every rom (stock eclair, froyo and cm7) and on every radio version, so I guess it is hardware depended.
Correct me if i am wrong.
What I do is switching to airplane mode and back, so i have to enter my PIN again.
Maybe there is a soltution, cause this is really drving me nuts
Thx
With the newest version (01-06-2012) the problem seems to be solved (for me). Perhaps you should give it a try.
I´ve been glad to hasty. It still does not work. Neither does it to switch between 2g and 3g. But the airplane-"hack" does work for me too.
I have same problem with COS ROM. Mobile internet connection after using telephone as wifi modem do'nt working successfully.... i need reboot phone, airplane mode not solving this problem..
Hi!
Same problem here (HTC Desire Bravo, GSM, Cos-Bravo 1st June, latest radio).
This "bug" is present in every ICS Rom and as well in some GB Roms I tried. So far, the RSK ROM Sense 3.5 with amaze cam doesn't have this issue.
I hope someone will get to it. I'm more than ready to donate if someone will be able to solve this out with next build.
Thanks.

To judge from my own experience - I'm still seeing this problem six months later - it has not been fixed yet. Or does it only affect a subset of Desires?
I'm experiencing it using a GB ROM - Mildwild 4.7, though it was there in 4.6 as well. I can only assume it is in the ROMs, as I get it on two different handsets, a PVT3 running radio-5.17.05.23 and a PVT1 rrunning radio-5.11.05.27.

Remove the skipbrokendatacall entry in build.prop file. This will not completely resolve the problem but will make it very much manageable.
Check your APN Settings and try to set APN-Type to default only.

Wifi problems with rooted Telus DHD (tried multiple ROMs/Radios/Kernels)

Hi guys, just wanted to preface that I checked out multiple threads on 'weak wifi' issues and could not find a solution.
Here is my issue:
- I have a rooted (S-OFF/ENG-OFF) HTC Desire HD from Telus.
- I was running Android Revolution but decided to try a different ROM. At this point I had no trouble with wifi.
- Anyway, I tried an ICS ROM (IceColdSandwich-8.0.AOKP) but started noticing that the wifi connection was very weak. It would connect, open a couple of sites, but within 2 minutes, the signal would weaken to zero bars and it couldn't connect. The same thing happened with Google Play, Gmail sync etc.
- I know it is not a router issue as I have a HTC Desire Z right next to me and it has no problem connecting.
Here is what I've tried, software/hardware wise:
- Took off the battery cover and cleaned the contacts.
- For Sense ROMs, I went to advanced wifi setttings, and selected "Best Wifi Performance" and/or DLNA auto-IP.
- Turned wifi on/off.
- Tried a bunch of ROMs (Virtuous_Quattro_RC3, BlackICE v 1.50, DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1, AOSPX-1.0, etc.)
- All ROMS have been flashed after a full wipe using Android Revolution ROM's Full wipe (which works for all roms in CWM)
- Flashed new radios (26.14.04.28 and a couple of others)
What more can I do?
Thanks.
Hey I am currently running the same rom on a Telus DHD rooted.
I had the same issue and it apparently has something to do with whether your network is b or g based. If you play around with your routers settings and check to see which band you're currently using on it, change it and check it out. 5ghz is what mine is running and its working great.
Also as a note if you ever have problems with joining a ad hoc network make sure that you have it set as a open network with no passwords otherwise it won't even let you get a IP address for some reason. Its a limitation of all the ICS roms currently.

Thanks for replying. I'll try it out. If this information was already covered in another thread, I'd appreciate it if you could link me to it.

WiFi problem on any JB or ICS Roms

Hey guys. I'm really angry about this problem so I decided to create a topic, although I posted several times in some threads and no answer so far.
I have problem with wifi in ANY ICS or JB rom. It can't recognize any wifi network, sometimes, it even freezes in wifi section in setting. I am sure that I'm doing all of install steps correctly; as I said, I have no problems with roms based on older versions of android. the strange case is that my friends have the same problem. Is it possible that it relates to internet providers in my country? (I'm living in Iran).
Thanks for your help.
anyone?
Not even one person?!!!
