[Q] Please help me get data enabled CM7 1.5 - Defy General

Hi,
Have flashed CM7 rc1.5 over my stock sbf = no problems except no data connection and android process media force closing repeatedly tried all settings I could think of , ( including Baseband switcher).
Had no joy so flashed ( via rsd lite) the recommended 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR sbf and data worked again . Put CM7 back on and got exactly same 2 problems .
Been trying loads of different settings all day and media force close issue has disappeared by luck I think .
But main issue is still no data - phone status shows " mobile network type hspa",
but "mobile network state disconnected"
Really hope for a fix as it's a sickening thought to go back to 2.2
Thanks for any thoughts.

Same issue. I could not turn on data (no arrows in the taskbar). Tried clear caches, factory reset it helped for a while. But now i have the similar issue (arrows are in the taskbar, but they don't go green).

Baseband switcher?

Tried baseband switcher (pretty much every alternative) , but still no connection at all.

try harder. It should be a baseband problem really.
Also check if the access point configured correctly.

did you also try network operators? if your carrier appears more than once, pick the top one.

Go to settings then wireless and network then mobile networks then accesses points click menu key the first one on the bottom of your phone..and select restore to defaults...after that choose your access point...
go back and see if data enable checkbox is checked..
It should work now
If not then open the access point you selected and scroll down to APN type ..open it and type default,supl in it
Also try default,supl,dun if the above doesn't work..
After you do this data should connect

BINGO -
Had to type the settings in manually as supplied on Talkmobile website , some were there already but were for pay and go account whereas I'm on a contract .
Thanks very much for the help / replies really appreciated.
Now to put CM7 through some everyday use and see just how superior it is to stock -looking very at the moment. : )

I've gone through these steps but I can't open "access point" to get to the AP type. Don't see howto do that. I have APN on screen but can't open it.

Just click on the apn..
Like open settings.. Mobile and network.. Mobile network (bottom most).. Access point.. Now you should see a list of 1-3 access points.. Just touch any of them.. It will open

[Q] Is there a way to disable data?

I just bought the Defy for my younger sister and was just wondering if there is a way to turn off the data since I only want her on wi-fi. I know there's apps out there like extended control but is there anything I can change in the settings? I did some searching but found nothing on the forum if I missed it can you guys point me the right direction? Thanks a bunch!
When in Europe I use an app called APNdroid from the market. It kills edge & 3G but leaves wifi and voice/text running. If you want to kill EVERYTHING but wifi, hit airplane mode then wifi.
I suppose it depends on your service provider, but if you set up nonsense information in your APN (i.e. it can't find a server) then it won't be able to access 3G data. I've set up 2 APNs on my phone, one to allow and one to turn it 'off'. Works like a charm.
Well, for me, anyhow.
+1 for APN renaming.

Go to market, find this--> APNdroid
Install it & put on desktop.
This will help stop the Defy from using GPRS.

Yeah I looked for that too but didn't find it so I'm just using the app. Thanks for all the help!
You can use the app"Droidwall",you can disable 2G,3G, and use only WIFI
You can try a battery saving app called "juicedefender".
The original function of it is turning off data when the screen is off, but you can use its widget to turn off data completely.

[Q] Internet question

Hello there, I have a CDMA Desire which I have flashed to Page Plus a while ago, everything is working on it, including data. But, I seem to only get a 1x connection instead of 3G. I know this may seem like a stupid and noobish question, but I would just like to know if there is any way to switch it to 3G? And what would I need to do? I appreciate any help in advance.
usually you don't have to switch anything on for 3g. if i remember correctly there isn't an option to switch between 2g and 3g on the original htc-sense rom anyway, you only can switch off mobile data completely. so if you have switched on mobile data you should be on full 3g-speed. according to my experience this does not necessarily mean you have a fast internet connection, though.
Hi,
usually the device is configured to use 3G (if available) by default, you can check the setting anyway, just to be on the safe side, Settings->Wireless & networks->Mobile networks->Network mode and choose the double option (on my device it is GSM/WCDMA auto but in the US I guess it will be slightly different).
I hope I've been useful,
bye

I'm still confused. When I go to mobile networks on the settings, there is no option to change the network settings, only for the system select and such. If it helps a bit more, I'm currently on the MIUI rom. What would I need to do to get 3G working? Sorry if I'm still sounding like a total noob, it just seems weird that I would only get 1x instead of 3G.
Hi,
can you please post a screenshot of your mobile networks settings?
Just to see if it helps us understanding better
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I cannot post a screenshot right now, but basically, when I press Mobile Network settings, I get 4 options. Data enabled, always recieve MMS, data roaming, and system select. When I press system select, the only two options are automatic and home only.
Mmm I don't know what to say, I checked also on my secondary phone (Huawei, standard stock android) and I have the same configuration items plus 1, "use only 2g networks", I don't know why you don't have it

I googled a little bit and I found out that some people are experiencing the same problem with miui, they can't get 3g working and can't find the conf item in mobile networks settings. Why don't you try a different ROM? Just to check whether it is a miui problem

I'm still not having much luck. Do you guys think it could be related to the PRL? Or should I keep trying to find more ROMs to flash?

[Q] wifi tether app help

I have wifi tether app installed but when I open and run it it constantly acts like it looses 3g connection. computer will connect with local access only. phone will have 3g logo and will switch between up and down arrows then have both then none then the 3g logo will dissapear. it acts like it is constantly switching between channel/signals but never stays connected. I am on a rooted 2.3.4 using downgrade and s-off running stock+ rom. I had wifi tether working in the past after root and rom but now it doesnt. my wife is on a rooted 2.2 with no issues. we have same settings and radios and hers works fine. I have used tb to uninstall and restore older versions I have uninstalled and downloaded the newest apk version I could find and it still does the same thing. The phone has no issues connecting to other wifi hotspots(home or public) and work fine on its own data for internet surfing. the only problem Im having is with wifi tether to connect laptop to.
radio is 2.15.00.07.28
software 4.08.605.2
any ideas or different free rooted apps?
running wifi_tether_v3_1-pre105.apk

Therr is a way to change settings in the epst menu which you access by dialing ##778#, that will allow you to use the stock hotspot app for free.

Dial ##778# and hit call. A menu should appear, select edit mode. A password box will appear enter six zero's (000000) as the password. A menu will appear select security. Look for and change any entries that look like "your#@dun.vzw3g.com" remove the "dun." so it looks like "your#@vzw3g.com". Then hit back to the main menu and select M.IP Default profile and look for and change the same entries as before. Once done hit menu and commit changes, the phone will reboot. Once rebooted use the stock app as normal ignoring the you must subscribe to this service message. Note if you do a *228 option 1, an ruu, or a factory reset from the settings menu or hboot, or have to reactivate the phone, you will have to edit the settings again before using the stock hotspot app. I have been doing it for years and verizion is none the wiser. There are either 2 or 3 entries which need to be edited.
You checked "yes this is a question"

Problem with data

I just got the SGSII today & I love it and all but when I try to go on the Internet or use an app that requires a data connection, the connection never goes through (I have unlimited data plan), whereas when I use my Wi-Fi, I have no problems. What should I do?
You may need to enter your carriers apn settings manually. Should be under your data settings called Access Point Names, hit menu and hit add new. You should be able to get the settings from the carriers website that you need to input.
Also make sure data is enabled (you never know )

Any way of disabling only 2G from auto selecting?

When I leave my apartment until I disconnected from WiFi, I getting into the elevator and the data is searching for network and will not find any.after I get out of the elevator, it connects to 2G and stay there for long time.
If I switch WiFi off,, before I get into the elevator, it will connect directly to 4g and stay there(and this is how I like it).
But most of the time I forget switch off the WiFi, so I have to wait something like 10 minutes to get 4g connection.
Any way of disabling 2G, but leave 3G & 4G?

You could try dialing *#*#4636#*#* which will open the 'Testing' settings and then navigate to Phone information and scroll down until you find a little drop down box which you can select which network types you want to run. I myself use CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto which switches between those when it needs to but if you only want to use 4G then you can switch to 'LTE only'.
Goodluck and I hope that does what you wanted!
Edit: I just realized that that number may not work on all phones, if that fails and you cannot access it with that then the only other method I can think of is to download Pimp My Rom from the Play Store and once installed open it and navigate to Tools < Scroll to the bottom & tap Device Hidden Menu > Access Hidden Menu. Please if you decide to wander around in this app then make a Nandroid backup first as this app is still in beta and very unstable, I recommend just using it for the device hidden menu options until you get what you need done.

I remember on my One X , this trick was working but after a reboot it was resetting to its previous state. No idea if this is still the case with M8

I had problems once with my phone only using 3G and using this to set it to allow 4G solved my problem permanently, hopefully it won't "reset" with yours, though I've never heard of that issue happening so it may be uncommon.
