That's how it can be described, I apologize in advance for the somewhat repeat of the thread (posted over in the Touch Pro 2 CDMA hood) because my TP2 is the verizon version. BUT it's GSM unlocked and I am running with Simple Mobile. I have no problem inputting the settings for the connection... their website has all the info right there. I reboot and everything seems fine and dandy or so I think.
I can send 50% of the time, and receiving I can do only once. Meaning I can receive one MMS and I have that issue where the picture is small. Anything after that gives me an error saying "bad gateway" and then I think I hear it laughing at me. It doesn't matter which ROM I am using. Energy, Blackout, try cooking my own, the stock VZW one... I only use the CDMA ROMS given the phone is CDMA.
Only posting over here due to the fact I am rolling with a GSM carrier. Hence a trainwreck.
Just came to mind, is it possible to experiment with the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 stock Arcsoft MMS, would need a link to it. Been searching high and low but no luck. Any info to help resolve this issue would be awesome.
I appreciate XDA and all here, this place ROCKS!

Although this forum is filled with amazing information, and tons of it, there is so much data that i am confused on what is for me. I am sorry i am new to PDA phones and the xda Forums. If you could please help me, I will be forever in your debt. Thank you for reading.
I live in the USA i am using a Vario II. I have spoke with T-Mobile and we have tried to manually input the MMS settings. After a bit it will send the message, but noone ever receives it. I have sent messages to friends on all different networks to no avail. Everything works great except MMS.
I am using the Faria Rom, i have hard spl installed.
Is there a USA T-mobile win 6.1 Rom that i can download from here??
T-mobile said there may be a cab file on here that could help me???
Is there a rom or a cab that has mms send/receive capabilities????
If you could direct me to the proper posts and/or links that would really help.
feel free to email me. [email protected]
I have this same phone on T-Mobile but I have the ATT 8525. I NEVER EVER use the manual stuff. ALWAYS use the "Network Wizard" which sets up ALL of the MMS, Internet, etc settings. Do this, and you shouldn't have any problems.
here's a discussion thread with cabs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395203&highlight=tmobile
With The Faria Rom the network wizard would not work.
Vario II is a great phone in the USA, but you will not be able to go 3g in the usa, because t-mobile uses the 1700 frequency for 3g in the usa, and this phone runs off 1800. None the less, with Wi-Fi, edge, and gprs you still should have a decent connection in the USA.
I have now flashed to Manilla3g Colored. I think its the latest version :s
I also Downloaded the ArcSoft Cab and installed that.
After this I went to "Device Update" in the programs folder.
After the updates i selected were complete..... MMS WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! not to mention all the settings were put in automatically for me.
With the Vario II and the Manilla 3g colored ROM, once updated you use alot of phone memory. The ROM itself gives you less phone memory then other available roms. The rom is also not that stable when playing music with the audio manager. Music does not seem to work while using the internet browser, but works while using google maps. Sometimes the wrapper crashes. overall still a great rom.
A different ROM, one that has less processes running may be better for this phone, but this is the first rom that has given my phone all usa capable abilities.
If anyone has any suggestions for a different rom that still has most of the features of manilla3g let me know please.
Thank you for your helpful replies gehzumteufel and galaxys.
Manilla2d does NOT add features, it just adds a slick interface. I run Josh's M2D rom, and while I love the look and all, this phone doesn't have enough ram. I am possibly going to a diff rom that doesn't have M2D.
I suggest running a "lite" or "vanilla" rom. They usually run the best. Most apps can be added later without consequence. Especially on RBS roms.
Hey All!!
I have some frustrations & need a little help! I just switched from AT&T [GSM] (AT&T Tilt) to nTelos [CDMA] (HTC 6900 Touch).
The whole reason for me selecting the Touch is because it is because it is very similar to the Tilt has far as the Mods & being able to use the same programs. Plus ntelos offers the same service (almost) that AT&T does but for WAY less...also it is not as bulky. But I have a problem...
Is there any MMS software or system Mods I can download to be able to send/receive MMS Messages? Its kind of a big deal & I am unable to do so. I don't have the MMS option under my messages. I have look on here for HOURS & the only software I am finding is for Sprint users, like the sMMS program. Can someone help??
Are you using a stock rom or have you flashed already ?

I am using stock ROM. I don't know anything about Flashing it or really what that means.
I called nTelos & they stated that I would have to send/receive pics using my emailed on my phone. I don't think they even have MMS servers to be able to send for PPCs. Any other phone w/ them can send/recieve from other cell phones & companies...like the LGs, Motorolas etc...but not the Smartphone or PPCs. I think that's a load of CRAP!!
I've downloaded the program (I can't remember the name right now...it started w/ an A or find the cab for it) but it the installed SMS/MMS software program that usually comes w/ Windows based PPCs & that didn't work either b/c I had no server info to set up.
OH WELL!! I guess I'll have an ALMOST perfect phone.
I was able to recieve a picture message using the sprint MMS server settings. im not sure if it was suppose to work, but it did
I have downloaded literally every build option from here and many other sites for Android builds for TP2 for Verizon....
Can anyone help me? Most all of these download fine however, only one of the 10+ builds that i have tried allow phone calls and only with the workaround making a call in WM first before running haret.exe. Aside from the phone calls I havent been able to use any audio at all nor SMS texting. I have found this video recently...
youtube.com /watch?v=5aRUHf2h1ls
(obviously spaces after .com since i cannot post links
I would prefer this build if possible and he says he got the build from XDA and made slight adjustments to make most features work, however I cannot find it nor do I know enough to make any of these adjustments he was refering to. I will donate for some guidance. I cannot wait to have a workable build and utilize the GENY Dual boot. I am also hoping to be able to sync an android/ hero sense build with my pc for contacts, tasks and appointments.
Thank you,

GSM SIM
you can check the wiki in my sig for how to sync contacts. as for alot of that stuff working. I havent been following the CDMA android but i know that we are not that far along with GSM so I think CDMA is alittle behind. Reefermattness sent a gsm phone to one of the developers to help because they were doing it all on an emulator but this was just recently. If you lack the development skills (like I do) all you can do is sit wait and throw money at the developers to speed things up
Guess i'll have to do that. Got a developer in mind that may be better than others? Just for my knowledge, having the GSM SIM gives me the ability to do both GSM and CDMA depending on if the card is in or out, correct? I have tried every build both ways as well to see if that would help.
Another thing I forgot other than mentioning I was with Verizon. The only carrirers that I have gotten to show when I do a search for networks were AT&T and T Mobile. Weird how it will connect with one of those. How does that effect my cell plan, if at all?
Once again, thank you...

Verizon Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium)
GSM SIM
Hey all, my girlfriend got a US Cellular Touch Pro 2, and I got it to run on AT&T, and its ran pretty good for a few months, but now she's getting upset because its being slow and last night it wasn't showing call logs/sms past September 2nd, even though she's received many since than, and when I tried calling her, it showed up as "Unknown" even though i'm in her phone book, the date was also wrong, showing it sometime in July. So its becoming frustrating for her. My question is, is there a custom ROM (I'm an Android guy and have a few Roms on my Incredible) that I can put on her phone that will speed the phone up and make it more usable, and still keep the GSM functionality? Is there any way to do this? If not what are some speed tips and other tips to make the phone more usable? Thanks!
Id hard reset, task 29 then flash the rom of your choice. Theres a whole host of em over at ppcgeeks for cdma users. Adjust your settings (internet, mms etc) and grab any cabs you'll need or want (att keyboard fix or any att specific programs youll want to run) then yous hould be good to go.
So do I need to find a CDMA ROM that supports a SIM Card? Or find a GSM ROM? I was thinking Mighty Rom looked pretty good, but I have no idea on what to do to go about setting it up for her. I remember paying $20 to get a SIM Unlock, CID Unlock and Security Unlock tool, and then I did some ROM flash of a custom Sprint ROM to get AT&T to work on it.
Yes you are going to need a cdma rom if the phone is cdma regardless of At&t being the current service provider. Otherwise you will brick the phone. I have a sprint touch pro2 running At&t with no problems using nrg rom over at ppcgeeks.

I would recommend the cookie rom version since that is the one that I use all the time. I've tried all the other but I keep coming back. But there's a nice variety so the choice is really yours/hers.
I would also recommend to task 29 and since you too have your phone unlocked to at&t (sim unlock) use the same unlocker radio in the task 29 so you get a clean and working radio/rom. Have her backup her texts, contacts, calendar etc using pim manager or microsoft myphone or active sync if she chooses so.
If you run into any problems you can post here, pm me, or even drop by in the nrg forum on ppcgeeks where there are many others willing to help first timers.
Best wishes man
Edit: Quick tip. It really does help to clear out text messages and email every once in awhile. This is known to cause instability. (degraded speed, errors...) If you don't feel like flashing a new rom you could just hard reset the phone which may fix whatever issues. Just know it will delete everything and those problems may still be on the device. It really is best just to task 29 and try a new rom especially since almost anything is better than the stock sprint one.
Why to change ROM? It seems that only the TP2 has to be cleaned up, as you should do time by time.
The easiest way to do this is using SK Tools. There are all the possibilities to clean a PPC in there with just a finger touch: Beginning with cleaning temp-folders up to cleaning the registry. I do this about once a month and have no problems like describben.
Hello,
First, let me express my deepest thanks in advance for those of you who may be of assistance. I have visited this site many times over the years when I needed to find the answers to smartphone related issues (mostly rooting..etc). I have usually found the information that I needed via reading posts and trial and error; however, I am having a problem that I cannot find the answer to and it is frustrating the crap out of me.
So, here goes:
I bought a LG LS980 off of Ebay. It was locked to Sprint and I had a friend of mine root it (since I couldn't figure it out and it ended up being that the firmware had to be downgraded since a patch was bumped to it) and unlocked (or so i was told, but I do not know how to find out). It is currently running Cyanogenmod 12.1. I wanted to use my old phone's SIM and pop it into my new phone so that I could enjoy it (the old phone was a Nexus and ran hella slow). So, anyway.... I contacted NET10 customer support since that is my carrier and explained what I wanted to do. They let me know that as long as it is unlocked that I would be able to just swap the SIM into the new phone and should be good to go. They checked my IMEI and said that the phone was, indeed, compatible and as long as it is unlocked it should just be a matter of a simple ROM swap. Not the case. I put the SIM in and booted it up. It went from No Service to saying "Sprint" on the upper left hand corner. I try to make a call and it states that, "The code or number that I am dialing is incorrect, please try the code or number again". I looked this up on the internet and didn't find a focused answer. I talked to my friend and he stated that I may have to set up a new APN profile.
I have checked the APN settings on it and all of the APN profiles have the prefix "Verizon". I used this mini tutorial at http://forums.androidcentral.com/goo...-settings.html along with the NET10 settings to try and make a profile. Both of their workarounds don't seem to work. I can enter about half of the information and then either click BACK or SAVE and then the profile is gone. I am not sure this is the reason that my phone is not working, but I thought I would give it a try. I have also tried to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2798566 as a loose guide, TWRP installed. Keep in mind that I believe that my firmware was rolled back to ZVE. and not ZVD. When I have tried to edit the build.prop values at the tutorial states it does not save. Also, there are two lines that are not even in my build.prop (ro.build.target_operator and persist.service.crash.enable). When I have tried to edit or add it adds them but does not save and definitely does not persist through reboot. I feel as if I am close to getting the phone to work, but I am unsure where to go from here. I really do NOT want to have to go back to a stock ROM and all of that because....well.... my friend did the rooting and installing of cyanogenmod and I don't want to risk undoing all of his work and having to pay $ to have it done all over again (I have rooted phones..etc, but this G2 was a MOFO because of the firmware patch for me). NET10 CS and TS was of no help and they gave me a ticket number (and to tell you the truth the are outsourced and I can't understand what their reps are saying). So, does anyone have any advice or threads that I can look at? Like I said, I feel as if it is close, but no matter what number I call it says that recording. I get no incoming calls (although it rings when listening to the incoming calling phone's speaker). I am also unable to send or receive SMS or MMS messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not the most technically savvy person, but I can answer your questions to the best of my ability and I am good at following directions. (I have about 5-6 phone root/ROMS under my belt and even 2-3 SPRINT to NET10 activations, but this one is just perplexing the crap out of me) . Could it be that the phone is not unlocked???? How do I check this??? Is there a way??? When I put in the NET10 SIM it never asked me for an unlock code so I am assuming that my friend unlocked it? I have also tried "Turn the phone ON and type 2945#801# If nothing happens, type 2945#802# or 2945#*803#" and no hidden menu appears asking for an unlock code.
You can unlock your Sprint phone for GSM but you can't activate it to Verizon or its MVNOs.
