[Q] Need help with data connection

Hi to all,
I have an htc touch pro, I have been using XDAndroid for 8 months and been very happt about it. I frequently install latest versiones of initrd, rootfs, and kernel. The problem is the data connection was working well, but since about May i haven't been able to use my data connection because it doesnt connect. I currently have:
latest version of initrd
latest version of rootfs
kernel htc-msm-linux 20110615_174606
Gingerbread system.ext2
Here are my Mobile network settings:
Preferred network mode: GSM/ WCDMA preferred
System select: Automatic
APNs:
Name: Internet
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS proxy:
MMS port:
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: internet
Any help will be appreciated, thks

What setup did you have when it was working? Have you tried older kernel packages? Last time I used the Gingerbread(alpha) package, I was able to use my data connection, including wifi and this was with the latest kernel package. However, this was with a new data.img So, you might want to try to copy your data.img file before you try this, just in case creating a new data.img file doesn't solve your issue.

Hi, thanks for your reply,
I always try to use latest version of everything, if I see something works really bad, I rollback. I have tried most of the kernels with positive votes since May but data connection won't connect. A few minutes ago I tried the kernel from 2010/Oct/31. I also have created new data.img several times (because a problem with an old sdcard).
Could it be a bad configuration ? or some problem with my service provider (Movistar, Venezuela) ? In Windows Mobile the same data connection works OK.
Any thoughts ?

Triage it.
Figure out which combination works, then upgrade one piece at a time. So take the vanilla (nothing changed) FRX06 setup. Start with the kernel, try the absolute newest kernel. If that works, then move to rootfs. It's probably one of those two things. There was a new RIL that got implemented into the rootfs recently... perhaps it's not setup correctly for your configuration. Are you CDMA or GSM?
Either way, do your due diligence. I don't really have much to go off of based on your posts, you need to narrow down which change you made that breaks data for you. Then we can investigate further.

thanks for your response, I will try that when I have some free time

OP,
i have the same issues. the latest rootfs you can use is may 1:
http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/rootfs-20110501-5f3d39d.zip
the later ones don't work for me (raph800). however, i lose my data when i make/receive a phone call, so i am trying to sort that out too.

Hi again, my phone is GSM.
I installed the rootfs.img from may 1 and didn't work.
I installed the FRX06_Full_Bundle and didn't work either.

Uh... ok. So something that worked before doesn't work any more? Your data connection works in WinMo?
So you're saying you have everything from the FRX06 bundle and a correctly configured APN, and data doesn't connect?
I really need you to be more verbose. I can't help you if you're constantly vague in your response.

(Excuse my poor english)
OK sorry, I'll give more details.
In Windows Mobile 6.1, I configure data connection like this:
Start > Configuration > Connections > Connections > Modem > New >
Connection Name: movistar
Modem: Mobile phone line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet.movistar.ve
User: (empty)
Password: (empty)
Domain: (empty)
Then I go to Comm Manager > Data connection, and then the "Data connection" connects and I can use the internet.
Now for XDAndroid, I installed the FRX06_Full_Bundle from http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Version_FRX06 as you suggested.
I can make calls.
Wi-Fi works OK.
I go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks >
Data enabled: checked
Data roaming: checked
Access Point Names > New APN
Name: movistar
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: internet
then I Save, and wait... but nothing happens, it doesn't connect. Am I missing something??

Hrm, seems right. Have you verified the MCC and MNC? When you hit save, do you see the APN appear in the APN's list? You should also see a 'radio button' that needs to be checked/highlighted in green. This makes the APN active.

Thanks for your patience, I found a partial solution.
Currently I am using:
Gingerbread system.ext2
Kernel htc-msm-linux @ 20110622_180615
rootfs rootfs-20110501-5f3d39d.zip
I modified the apn to this:
Name: Movistar VE
APN: internet.movistar.ve
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 734
MNC: 04
Authentication type: None
APN type: default
And part of the problem was that I completly forgot that the APN radio button did something different than clicking the APN name shame on me
So now when XDAndroid starts, it connects to the APN correctly, a green "E" icon appears on the notification bar and I can use the Internet.
The problem is when I make/receive a phone call, or connect to WiFi, the connection is lost, and later the reconnection fails, a white "E" icon appears, but i can't use the Internet. My guess is that it is related to the kernel, but I least now I know I have the APN configuration right again

Did you bother reading the GingerBread thread? That's a known issue, the data cxn is flaky in GB. With hyc's RIL you can cycle data and it'll come back pretty consistently.
Use FroYo if this is an issue, FRX06 does not have this bug.

Searched the site but still can't send a Picture.

I also looked thru the suggest threads but found no fix.(or did not recognize it)
I flashed to CM7.03-inc and radio 2.15.10.07.07. Neither the stock messaging or Handcent will send a picture. In looking I may need readjust the APN but really have no clue as to what is needed. I did install APN Manager.
My issue is I actually I know enough to really screw this phone up.

That's kind of an old CM7 build, I'd recommend flashing the latest nightly. Never had any MMS issues on the nightlies myself. And don't worry about losing all your apps and data, just wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing and see if your MMS works then.

Tried a few different APN settings today with no luck in sending a pic . Maybe a new rom is in order but will try that later.

Fixed it.

Was not the APN.
Google was my friend.
Found this. http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...7-cant-send-pic-messages-simple-fix-here.html
Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.

And can now send pictures. (will buy Root Explorer anyway)

[Q] Ran Down grade, Revolutionary, boot loop, what I did-where I am-No T-Mobile Servi

Update: After the end of this post when I re-installed the Factory Rom. After letting the phone sit for an Hour powered up I got Service. I wish to run a custom rom and will return after to let everyone know how things went.
I used the Guide [GUIDE] Comprehensive S-OFF/Root Methods found in developers forum. to down grade the phone from .98 to 97.
Then using that Guide ran the revoutionary step
It was so long ago (24hr and hundreds of forums) I think I had a boot loop issue at the end step of either Down Grading or Revoutionary.
Thinking Though what I had Done during the process I realized I never had a SD card installed. (No Part of the guide did I see it said be sure to have #mb Card installed.
To stop the Bootloop I found my way to recovery mode and reset factory defaults.
Then reran the guide again.
this time I got stuck here
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo This will reboot your phone one more time, this time fully stable and will boot completely. Continue once fully booted.

Found my way to Recovery and Reset Factory Defaults
Well Now I thought I would exsplore the Recovery Menu abit because it felt the I had a rooted phone with S-off and for all practical was Ready.
Using This Guide [Reference] Droid Incredible 2 GSM Roms, Patches, and Unlocking help. it was time to unlock the SIM card for use with my T-mobile provider.
Purchased Lock code unlocked and all is well (not quite)
I have no service Voice, data, No bars. SIM card is detected.
Looking back to The Rooting process Why Could this Be? during the Revolutionary step each time the phone reset and was stuck on the white HBOOT screan doing nothing. At the end of the Forum I found that the Raidio needed to be flashed. I Renamed the file 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip to "PG32IMG.zip" on the root of the SD. Then on this step HBOOT look as if it used the file and installed.
Now Still No Service.
Lets try a Custom ROM
I installed Cyanogen 7 (cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-vivow)
Still No Service.

What Thread or forum am I not finding to get this phone running on T-Mobile? Do I need to call T-Mobile with details of the Unlocked DI2.

Did you choose GSM in the songs instead of CDMA? There's a course you can put into the dialer if there is no option in your roms settings for this though I don't remember what it is
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Yes I did choose GSM. Had to to even get the APN options. Well I did get it all to work as Updated at the top. Must had been me not being patient and letting T-Mobiles system register the device or something. Installed Cyanogen 7 and after entering the APN stuff the phone went on service right away.
The key answer here I believe would be patience.

APN settings for ATT 4g Xperia Play

My phone was not having service on my att network and thought it was my atomic rom or something and accidently deleted APN info. Can someone reply this message with correct settings. I looked something up but those were incorrect settings and could not received text with pics. Thanks.

I don't know about att settings, but if your settings worked when you flashed atomic rom, then just press option and "restore apn settings"

Easiest way to get them back is to install APN Tweakker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker&hl=en
And select AT&T USA. Make sure you are on wifi before running it. IT will setup and program the correct APN Settings for calls/data/ etc.
You can then delete the app when done and it will be saved. Also this app only works on GB so if you are on ICS/JB it wont work.:

Rogers Canadian i317m Note 2 no LTE on DN4 v2.2-LTE AGNI purestock Kernel

I have an i317m Canadian Note 2 on the Rogers Wireless network.
I flashed the DN4_v2.2-LTE Rom onto the phone using the instrucions found here "[ROM][4.4.4]DN4_2.2(Ditto Note 4) for SGH-i317, i317M, T889, N7105 By the E-Team". I also flashed the newest PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.4.7_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel.
When switching the phone on all works well other than I am only able to get 3g and H+ networks. I have tried adding the ROGERS LTE network to the carrier list but it does not work. I also tried flashing the PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.3.9_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel; In case the version change may have affected it. Still only able to get 3g and H+ networks.
Been looking through XDA Developers forums for hours trying to solve this. Any ideas would be most appreciated

Does changing modems help?

I tried to reload the newest rogers modem (for the i317m) and that didnt seem to help.
I also have another quick question. I have the newest version of TWRP installed. I am unable to reboot from TWRP by using the "shut down' or "restart" command. It just brings me back to TWRP.
If I reinstall the AGNI kernel and use its REBOOT command after installation the phone reboots normally. Should I redo the phone with the stock (but rooted) ROM/MODEM/Etc then try to reinstall DN4?
Ill give it a go when I have time later. Will post back to see if that fixes the problem.

YES! Got it working.
I started with using stock recovery mode to perform a factory wipe.
In order to make sure the lack of LTE wasnt something hardware related completely reflashed the i317m (Rogers) back to stock (4.4.1) everything. I did this using ODIN 1.03
I then used the auto root made for the i317m and flashed it with odin. Root was successful.
After the root I then installed RASHR through google play. Using RASHR I flashed TWRP Recovery version 2.8.5.0 . This solved the original problem with TWRP being stuck in a loop no matter what "restart" option I went to. Only way out of this originally was to flash the AGNI kernel every time.
With TWRP Recovery I flashed the DN4 LTE-V2.2 rom. When trying to boot this It just got stuck on a black screen. I took battery out and rebooted into TWRP recovery. I then flashed ANGI Pure Stock Kernel v4.3.9 (not 4.4.7). I restarted and the phone booted correctly. I was able to get WIFI and everything but LTE. I then updated the to DN4_2.2.6-LTE. The changed network icon to 4g. I tested the connection and it was still connecting to only HSPA+ Rogers towers.
The trick was after this. I tried many different settings for the Rogers LTE APN netowork. NONE of them would work under DN4_2.2-LTE. Finally, now running DN4_2.2.6-LTE I was able to find the exact APN settings. Pieces of this APN was taken from many different forums.
Here is the APN setup that is currently working for me:
