Rogers Name Display Work Around

Hi all after testing for about a day i have found a way to get rogers name display to work on the tilt 2. Just had done a lot a searching and combined 2 cabs to get this working.
I have tested this only on the Energy rom and nothing else.
1st you need to install: rilphone for rogers CNAP.cab
then soft reset
2nd you need to install: NRGZ28 Tachi Dialer Disabler.cab
Yes i know you are all saying disabler for tachi but so far this is the only way it will work until someone can implement the settings for stock wm dialer to tachi.
Please Stick this

I tried it on my tilt2 with the cell pro rom it is making my phone run hot and draining the battery fast 10% in about 10 minutes. But it is also making my phone run alot smoother. Uninstalled with no luck still running hot and draining the battery fast. also "attention required" message flashes when I reboot. Time for a hard reset.

yes i agree i dont think that would be a problem with the rilphone.dll sounds like the phone is using either the data or phone itself all the time i would say try a hard reset and try this again. if it does the same thing again try a different rom. Im using energy rom i have always had good luck with his roms.

Thank you for those great cabs. Will be going back to canada in 2 weeks and will give it a try and report back.
I am using Mighty Mike's rom, do you think it will work?
regular phones with rogers/Fido don't need data. Using this cab, will I have to use data?

pretty sure it will work with any rom just try the rilphone.dll first and if it still don't work then install tachi dis-abler and should work. This will only work on GSM models not cdma/gsm so make sure yours is just gsm. And as for data the answer is no it doesn't use any data at all just like a regular rogers/Fido phone.

Thanks Hiwired.
Is there a way to make it work on CDMA
I linked this thread on ppcgeeks, maybe someone could collaborate with your work to see if they can make it work for us WCDMA users. I hope you don't mind.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1851465#post1851465

nope i dont mind at all. and as it sits so far right now it will only work on gsm rogers. if you are looking for cdma then right now might look at program called truecallerid but you have to have 3g on in order for you to see it when the call comes in. it does use data as well to. im switchin carriers this week goin to bell so im going to try to mess with this on thier cdma/gsm 3g network

mmm...
Thought WTH, let me try it on my phone CDMA. didn't work
I wish there's a work around for CDMA because I am using it on FIDO

ya as it sits right now bell only has caller number display BUT since they went with the 3g gsm network we might see something come out soon for it they have the proper network now just need the coding

A little off topic hiwiredjuice , but what radio are you using with this fix and the energy rom? I'm on the rogers network and I want to find an optimal radio to use. I am using Energy Rom, and i plan on using this fix aswell.

Flashed CM7 and Stuck in 1x RTT? [Possible Solution]

I recently received a 004 hardware rev Evo with the latest HBoot. After rooting and flashing CM7RC0 (thank you Lithid) I found myself stuck in 1x RTT mode. Switching back to a Sense restored and enabled 3G once more. Going back to CM7, I once again would be stuck in 1x RTT.
The following solved my issue.
Flash a Sense based ROM to access ## codes and ...
1. ##3282#
2. Edit Mode
3. Enter MSL
4. EVDO
5. Preferred Mode
6. Set it to Automatic
7. Press Menu and commit modifications
8. Reboot
At this point you may go back and/or restore CM7 and 3G should be enabled.
To others stuck in 1xRTT mode in CM7, I post here hoping it helps others as it did me.

You win.

May be old, but just tried this on my Shift and worked like a charm. Happily now running 3G on CM7, thanks!

I switched to SalvageMod and I am having the same issue.
I will try this later tonight.

Just did this, phone is rebooting now.
Was interesting tho, EVDO was set to 'CDMA', hopefully now that it's set to 'Auto' I will get better speeds and actually get 3G while on my GB ROM.

Holy **** it actually worked. Excuse my language.
Before I was hitting MAX 300kbps down over "3g" on Sense and 1xRTT on SalvageMod.
Did the fix and now Im getting true 3G and hitting 1-1.6Mbit down and around 0.5Mbit up.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

So, I dont know if Im imagining things, but it seems like I have worse battery life after doing this. Any ideas?

I actually was locked on 1x RTT after I spent some time on one of the CM7 nightlies. Even after I flashed a number of Sense ROMs I was still locked, at that point I figured it was my old phone and so I got a replacement, I wish I had seen this first.

Yep, pretty sure battery is suffering now.

Or you could just download network from the market. Easier than flashing a sense Rom and going back.
Also the battery drain is from changing it from cdma. That was one of the battery fixes for the evo, to change it to cdma, most people did it after rooting their phones. Now you are changing also affecting battery life.

So network kinda broke my 3g, switched to cdma to try it out, then back to "auto". 3g icon is back but my data speeds are not

flashing to a sense rom right now to try this. Im on a 004 Evo as well running the latest MIUI and I noticed theres now way i can drive around from VA - Boston and not switch from 1x to 3g atleast once... hopefully this will change that.

Thank you! If this works it'll prove that it was an issue in AOSP ROM's. I was tired of people saying that Sense ROM's don't show true signal. It was a load of B.S. and I knew it was something else because I would flip between UD, CM, etc and it would still have the same issue.
Nice find dude. This should be a sticky or added to AOSP ROM releases until they can find out what's causing the issue in the ROM itself.

ok so i just implemented the fix. switching back to MiUI to see if it worked.
edit: now shows when i have 3g thanks. im guessing the extra battery drain is due to it now switching from 3g to 1x now. or constantly scanning?

Thanks a lot, finally can flash CM7 again.

Roms with GSM/World Functionality working

With the new roms coming out I wanted to see if people have been able to test the gsm/world band functions. I'll be leaving the country in august and want to know if i will have to flash back to stock or if roms are working with gsm/world bands reliably now.

RMK's ROM seems to be working fine for me here in Afghanistan. I successfully called myself from my Nexus S with my AWCC card in, but for some reason calling VM failed. I think that may have been the roaming network though. I will try again today.

Moved to proper forum.

It seems that any of the carrier based MOD's work, but the question is does CM7 work? I loved CM7 but went back to the rooted GB RUU to ensure GSM functionality. I am not confident with CM7 nor do I know how to input APN's to get GSM functionality.

APNs are only for GSM Data - calls and text should work without it.
In the sense rom APNS can be accessed by first going to settings-call and making sure you have gsm/umts enabled.
Then settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks - GSM/UMTS options
I assume it's similar in CM7 but I heard only the nightlies have GSM support and haven't heard anything about how well it works.
I should probably just nandroid and try one today - can't decide between Sense and AOSP anyway

Thanks for the instructions. Where do you get the APN at? I need GSM data as well as calls, etc.

i use that RMK ginger ROM & my phone is unlocked. I have a Telefonica SIM card and found that it works just fine down in Mexico when making calls. There's no data associated with the SIM though so haven't tried that out.

I am running the same one, but I love CM7. I am awaiting a full understanding of GSM functionality and how to use it in CM7.

i tried CM7 nightly 31 and 32 and both doesn't have GSM working out of the box, but the rom itself was pretty impressive.
i opted for the "Incredible 2 Gingerbread Sense/less INCREDIBLY Debloated 8/6/11" by truelefty and chose the Senseless rom. GSM works out of the box, you just need to change out of global mode and instead into GSM ONLY (and UMTS if you have it in your area).
here's the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169991
also, i am using mobifone in Vietnam

i also read that miui can support gsm as well, so i'll try that later this evening. if someone has beat me to the punch, pls lmk

OMFGB and MIUI support GSM.
I think you might have to enter some apns and stuff manually buy that's just cause world mode is a recent feature. I tried MIUI last week and couldn't get it to work. I don't have a sim so I can't try this week.
OMFGB is sick... it is my favorite rom. Of course, if I could change the color of my battery line in MIUI... that would be my number 1.

thanks for the input. i didn't have any free time to try it out last night, but i did download the nightlies for miui and OMFGB and will be trying them out soon

Most of the roms listed as having gsm work with phone/sms but not data. I have tried most of them at one point or the other and I can only get data reliably with the china ota. I really was hoping to use the virtousy rom but it is cdma only

After messing with some of the apn settings I found I have been skipping an important step. I was selecting none instead of chap or pap. Once I selected that I got data. I am currently running lefty's senseless Rom with data. I am going back to the China ota to make a better titanium backup before completly switching to a new Rom, but fixing my problem opens new possibilities

I can and do use mms all the time. I am on softbank and I had to manually enter in the correct apn settings for the carrier and sim card being used.
I have been busy so I have not been able to test any new roms knowing the correct apn security settings. Maybe later today I can play with the released roms to compile a list of what works.

[Q] phone unable to connect to mobile network

hello everyone,
I have my GSM galaxy nexus running aokp_maguro_milestone4 , 3.0.8franco kernel and xxkl1 radio baseband. I used to have no problems with my phone at all until I went on vacation to Spain (I live in Germany) in Spain I had signal but ever since I came back my phone has almost (in the time span of 48 hour it had maybe 1 hour of signal) constantly no signal from my mobile provider (BASE). I have tried reflashing the radio ( I had xxkl2 so I reflashed that and then flashed xxkl1), I have also tried turning phone off and on and leaving it 1 night without battery. any help??
thanks

Check your APN settings, if they are correct try to make a new APN profile from scratch.

checked apn and they were OK. made a new apn with values I found online and still no luck? should I maybe just restore everything to default and flash the stock from?

APN settings are only for data. They do not impact signal.
Go to Settings->More->Mobile network settings->Network operators and either select "Select automatically", or pick one from the list.

Just a suggestion but maybe a whole different updated ROM flash might do the trick

Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys,
So I am still having this problem, but an interesting thing happened. I decided to stick the sim card of my gf (she uses another carrier which supposedly uses the same infrastructure as my carrier) and I had full coverage. After that I changed the sim again and had coverage on my line, but after a couple of hours of bad coverage it just never found signal again.
So what on earth could possibly be wrong and what can I do to solve this problem?
I would consider a new ROM, but this doesnt seem to be the problem.

Maybe you should contact your carrier and get a new SIM or check if there is any known problems in your area.

I believe there is a fix required for GSM on ics roms. I don't know what it is off the top of my head since I don't use GSM.

Did you confirm working AT&T Sim while in stock rom, after it was unlocked? Once unlocked for GSM, it's good for life, there's no need to re-enter the 8 digits code again when you flash or change to a different/custom ROM.
If you use (and, I personally used them both & highly recommended it) either Skyraider's Zeus v1.3 or Nit's Stock Sense 2.1/3.0 v5 rom (see my signature below) - both of them support GSM, and you will have working voice & SMS coverage, to use mobile/broadband data on GSM - you need a data plan/package/bundle from the provider - plus it needs to be provisioned & activated on the account/mobile # - and the proper APN settings (if not preloaded or auto-updated OTA)
To use AT&T sim on Aero's unofficial CM9 rom, you need to confirm/change/setup APN settings for AT&T and save it, power off the device & reboot - (it might disppeared but it should be loading/working) - then you will gain data functionality, along with voice & data. Speed will be Edge only at 2/2.5G and not 3G, AFAIW (ditto, same or similar for T-Mobile sim)

when you input the code while on stock did you get a confirmation that the phone was actually unlocked? when you lose signal completely do you have the back cover on? does the phone say there is no SIM detected? flashing different ROMs shouldn't affect your unlock status. i'm running AOKP on GSM with no problems...

Pandora shouldn't have any problems with Edge/2G speed on DI2, I use Tunein Radio just fine with Edge/GPRS when I last travel - it's backward compatible to Android 1.x when bandwidth was rather limited and slow then.
It always help to close and/or not run widgets in the background so that apps in the foreground can gain as much bandwidth as possible - turn off those news/weather, FB, Twitter and Live wallpaper, etc. - and you should be good.
If you will be using DI2 mostly in GSM mode with a Sim card, whether it's mostly over WiFi or not - Skyraider's Zeus v1.3 (GB rom with Sense 2.1/3.0 tweaks) would be my rom of choice - updated with .312 radio & #79 kernel, allowing for overclocking if desired (I leave mine stock, but done it at 1.2 Ghz) for unbelievable battery life on standby mode. Enjoy & have fun!

This has been discussed many times... I do appreciate the fact that you found a similar thread rather than just starting a new one. However, in the future, please search before posting.
To answer your question, no (that is, unless you feel confident that you can guess the code in no more than 3 tries...) You can get them pretty cheap online. Just do some searching around and make sure that the place you are buying from has good feedback before giving them your payment info.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did a search and found that info. I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't missed some info on a way to fully unlock without having to purchase the code by rooting.
Btw, I've read that an unlock code from VZW will allow international SIM cards only. What about a purchased unlock code from htcimeiunlock or a similar site? Will it allow T-Mobile or ATT SIMs?

Yep if you buy one from there you should be all set. From what I hear they are a good site to get one from too.
