Two problems I cannot figure out, please help! :( - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I tried looking around for the answers on the boards, but I have two issues which seem to happen with every rom I use now.
First, I cannot get rid of that annoying voicemail icon that is just there. I use google voice and I dont understand why that thing is there.
The second problem just started happening recently, everyone that calls me shows as unknown?! I never had this problem and im curious if anyone knows how to fix it /.. Thank you so much and sorry if this was answered before.

GPS problem...
Hello. I'm a noob, so please be patient with me. I have a SGH-T989D (Galaxy S2X from Telus) that I've rooted a week ago. I'm currently running Mr. X's DARKSIDE UCLE BETA07.1 rom. Everyting is snappy, I have WIFI, 4G/LTE connexion. My only problem is the GPS. I've tried also the DARKSIDE TLLE4 v1 rom version, with the same problem. I've done a superwipe, clean cache and Dalvik cache, BEFORE installing everything (the rom and the radios). I've let the phone sit after first boot WITHOUT touching the screen or anything for at leat 15 minutes and rebooted. The only thing I can't figure out is the get the GPS working. When I do a *#2263# on the dial pad of the phone to set it to automatic, I get a MENU NOT EXIST, PRESS BACK KEY and Current command is 187211. May be it is a APN problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've read the posts, but didn't find the solution. By the way, I also tried the stock rooted telus version of ICS from this site, with the same results. Thanks in advance for your help. Mr. X's rom are great! I will try to contribute as soon as possible (with my modest means).

I've experienced both of those problems. The voicemail thing was solved when I went into Google voice's settings and uncheck "voicemail display". It shouldn't integrate into the native voicemail anymore.
The unknown caller thing happened on darkside 3 v4 I think. I have a tmobile sgs2 do it was the newer version based off the official kernel. That was a known bug he fixed in the next release, but it went away for me in a day or so. I know you said it happens on all the roms you try, so that's really strange and I'm not sure what it could be. But for me it was the one rom.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Ok I should be clearer, maybe not all roms, but recent roms I tried (ics)
I played with the Darkside as always but I also tried cm9 and few others.
For the mailbox icon, I tried playing with google voice and had everything unchecked for notifications and the damn thing is still there - this is not a big issue I guess, but the unknown caller is sort of annoying since I like to know who is calling me hehe

This might depend on if your in the states or not but i have a solution that i saw posted somehwere that works for me...
With Root explorer navigate to /system/etc then look for a file named gps.conf...longpress on gps.conf and open in text editor (make sure you click the Mount R/W tab in top right corner) and 4th line down should be NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org rename it to NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org and should be golden after that. :good:

Thanks. I will take a look at that file in the system.

I've tried the gps and it works ! But only with the data (4G/LTE) on... weird... but it works. Now, to the first part of my first question, why can't I change the configuration of the phone when typing *#2263# ? It says it is on automatic, but if I want to change it, I get error messages like thew ones I posted in my first message. Is there something wrong with my rooting ? Or permissions ? (I checked permissions and everything seems to be fine though...) Currently running Darkside TLLE4 V1. Everything works good besides that...

[q] gps not working?

I have a ATT TP2/Stock Radio and have been flashing ROMs for a long time... I recently flashed to the latest ENERGY rom and after a day or so the weather for "My location" quit updating?
I figured it was a bug so I flashed to another one of his ROMs. (I always have used his ROMs from my 1st flash) The phone will not find a GPS signal to update my location. I went back to a tried and true oldler version of Energy, which worked in the past and still no "My location" weather?
Google maps cannot locate any satilites either?
I flashed back to 1st ATT stock ROM loaded google map, searched my location and it worked... So they phone is still working properly.
Flashed back to ENERGY ROM and back again to no "My location" weather or google map GPS?
I have tried everything I can think of please help...
Perhaps you have already done it, but have you performed a task 29? If not try that, then flash your rom.
Both the My Location and GPS issues are discussed (with possible solutions) in the Energy ROM FAQs, Post 6 (of the Energy ROM thread) Section 3 "Solutions to Issues":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4579513&postcount=6
"My Location" is derived from cell tower information, not GPS. Issues with My Location may be a function of the cell tower at your local area, either low signal strength, or just not passing the proper info to your phone. If you travel to a location a few miles away (or farther) do you still get no location?
I have the ATT Tilt2, same as you, and have flashed Energy ROM many times (including most recently Oct. 8), and have never had an issue with either My Location or GPS. There are some ATT-specific solutions you can try, listed in the FAQ. Also, updating to the newer radio (one shown in my signature) may help.
Will do...
I do perform Task 29- Thanks for the reply
I will read more about the it from the Energy thread. Thanks for the reply...
That is the ROM I started having issues with.
OCT.8 Cookie Rom- Flashed and just like normal everything was fine. Drove out on a job for work and everything was good, later got back to my shop in and looked at the phone and it was stuck on the other city,kinda like it hadnt updated since. Tried to update and it just would time out? So I Hard reset the phone and it never loaded the My Location... Full signal indoors and out.
One of the guys I work with has a TP2 as well and he asked me if google was working. I tried to locate me on the map and it says "Your location is temporary not avial." When I try to update the weather from the tab it says "No updates are avail."
I dont know? Im downloading the new ATT ROM now and will, see what it does.
I was told that it will update my radio.
Ive never flashed my radio, and dont know much about it or what exactly it does to upgrade it. I am going to try to read more tonight when I get off work.
Thanks, If your have any inputs/questions I will get back ASAP...
Dont know?
Well the new ATT ROM is on the phone working fine...? As soon as it booted the weather on the Sense popped up with my city... I cant figure out why other roms arent working.
Im going to flash again to Energy soon... Maybe tonight or tomarrow; Battery is dead and have to let it charge. Besides Ive flashed some many times im tired of messing with it.
If anyone has any ideas on what my issue may be please help.
Thanks-

The stock ROM works fine because it does all the work for you. It preforms a task29 as part of the process. If you don't know what that is, it's a tool that erases and formats the internal memory of the device. It also flashes the radio and the ROM in the same program. Basically, all of the things you needed to do on a custom ROM, it does for you on the stock ROM.
BEFORE putting another ROM on your device, preform a task29 (search for it in the Rhodium ROM dev section), then flash the ROM. After that, read the FAQ in post #6 of the Energy thread. If that doesn't answer your question, then ask about it in that thread.
BEFORE posting a question in the Energy thread, be sure to read the FAQ. There is a correct way to ask for help there.
IDK, This is wierd
I do know about task29 and perform it before every flash.
So Stock ROM V.2 was working on "My Location" and Google Map... So I was looking around for .Cabs to clean the Stock ROM up and noticed that ENERGY had posted some new ROMS and I downloaded one. I Task29'd and flashed to the new Energy ROM, No fix on Google and weather "My Location" still unable to update or even find my location...?
Task29'd and went back to Stock ROM V.2 and now I'm having the same issue with the stocker?
Does anyone know what could possibly causing this issue? I don't ever get into the Registry or anything. I just flash and go adding the basic .Cabs
I'm at a loss... I would really hate to replace the phone due to this. Everything else works fine it just seems to be a GPS issue...
Any help would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks in advance-- I hope

This to me would seem to indicate that it might be an issue with the cell towers and not your phone, if it works in some locations and not others. Its a pretty common issue, that's why its on the FAQs. For months, my phone would not retrieve the location information from the cell tower near my office, despite 4 bars of reception. But it works fine almost anywhere else. Next time you are driving to other locations, experiment and see if it works better in other towns.
The time out message for weather just means it can't get the weather info over the data connection, it doesn't refer to My Location. The HTC weather server has issues from time to time, so this may have nothing to do with your phone.

If you are running Energy ROM, then the solution to your My Location problem is listed in post #6 of that thread. The easiest solution is to simply disable 3G. My Location is determined from the Cell Towers, not the device. If this solution doesn't work for you, then that narrows the problem down to something you've installed on the device. Try the solutions listed first. If that doesn't work, install a program like Sprite Backup to create an image of your device so you don't loose anything. After backing up, flash the stock ROM and see if, without installing or changing anything, you have the same problem. If it's working like this, then install things one-by-one until you find the culprit.

Flashing the radio is super easy. If you've already flashed ROM, flashing the radio is basically the same process, except it only takes a several seconds. It updates the software on your phone that allows it to connect with the cell network. It resides on a separate part of the memory than the OS, so it usually is not affected by ROM flashes (and vice versa, flashing the radio does not affect the ROM). The newer official ATT ROM is an exception, where they packed the radio in with the ROM. So now your radio is updated to the newest ATT radio. Flashing custom Rhodium GSM ROMs from XDA won't affect the radio, unless specifically indicated otherwise (and I haven't seen any custom ROMs that do that).

There are a couple of custom ROMs that flash radio as well. I don't recall which, but be sure and look before flashing!

Thanks, good to know. Of course, we always read the ROM instructions thoroughly before flashing!
Narrowed Down...
Thanks to all that have helped so far...
Ok after reading the last few post I have somewhat narrowed down the issue.
Okay, Yesterday I flashed the New ATT ROM so I have the upgraded radio-
Discouraged after I lost the "My Location" with the stock ROM and its differences between Energy(I guess I got spoiled by it) I flashed back to a later version of Energy.
CajunFlavoredbob- Thanks for recommeneding me to try disabling 3G and see if it works. Well it did, I dropped to the Edge network full signal and it picked up pretty quick both on "My Location" Weather and Google... Switched back to 3G and issue came back.
So I read post#6 from the Energy forum and one user says for him he used
"FF ATT Nokia aGPS Settings" I am using something I think is similar to that it is "FF Google aGPS Settings Generic" but I guess its not work aswell as it should or at all? So I am going to try to find this other .Cab and install it and see if this works.
Somewhat narrowed down, with the issue but feel like I am getting somewhere
Thanks to all for help so far! I will keep you guys updated...
No luck...
Okay well I got 3 .Cabs from I believe Fone Fanatic and another one from this guy I work with and no luck?
Any other ideas on what I can do?

[RESOLVED] Fixing 3G on Pay's Rom and all UK roms??

Okay so the other night i went and decided to flash the UK 2.2 firmware specifically 3.4.2.155 then flashed Pay's ROM and it went well. Instantly fell in love with how smooth everything ran without blurr. However.. as everyone warned I lost 3G and Wifi Calling.... and I love those things.
Did the adb push of those 3G fix files for 6.19 T-Mobile that user rob_t put together...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445
However after rebooting i was simply stuck on moto logo... the wretched bootloop... and was forced to go back to US froyo...which after using Pay's rom just seemed unbearably slow...
Any reason that the 3G fix only seemed to bootloop me?
I really want Pay's ROM but I must have 3G
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258

i using pays rom and 3g is normally working.

Ill try it on for a week.
Thanks for pointing me in the right way again
If this thread is still open - can someone please help me. I am on Pays rom and used the zip patch, so I have data working. However, market works intermittently, and I get an error message with roughly half the data downloaded and have to keep pressing 'retry' to get everything loaded. Also, when downloading an app, the first time or even a few times, it downloads the data but doesn't initiate the install. After I click 'download' it goes back to the market screen (as usual), and I have to quickly open the link for the app that I'm downloading so it brings up the app homepage and then it will actually download/install.
Is this normal? I initially didn't wipe after flashing the rom per Pays instructions, and since have wiped and reinstalled the patch to see if that worked...but it hasn't and still doing the above.
Anyone have the same problem? Any fix? Thanks in advance for any help! Oh, and same for browser internet...keep getting error message. And I used the APN settings that is on wife's stock tmous defy.

Ended up getting it resolved with that baseband changer on here (v3.1 worked as v3.0 wasn't working).
Thanks for the reply though...I kinda figured my post would be lost at sea given that the thread was in resolved status
Did you ever get it working on Pays or did you end up staying with jboogie?

wifi issues with cm10 based roms

whenever I load a cm10 based rom my wifi drops after 2 minutes. stock based wifi is consistent but as soon as I load cm10, jelly ro, or even the new experimental m1 build with always drops. to reconnect I have to turn off and on wifi. is there any solution? I was reading about cm10 modems and I didn't install anything besides cm10, aosp jelly camera and jelly gapps. any help will be greatly appreciated!
ps just realized I install the camera on every build could that mess it up lol
I've been running several nightlies over the last few weeks and now I'm solid with the M1 build and at this point I have never experienced an issue with wifi dropping.
What steps did you take to flash CM10? (cache clearing? Full wipe? Permissions?)

I did everything except permissions. Are there permissions for wifi?
No I was just mentioning the common steps so you would tell us everything. Sounds like you've installed the rom correctly but obviously their's an issue. I'm assuming that this issue is right after a clean install and not after you've installed juice defender or something like that? Assuming you're installing the correct version of CM10 for your phone (d2att?) their shouldn't be anything else needed to make wifi work (ie modem file).
If I were you I'd be tempted to redownload CM10 m1 and jellybean Google apps. Ensure you have the recommended version of cwm installed. Clear caches, full wipe, flash CM10 and apps followed by clearing of the caches again. Forget the camera initially and test the wifi. If it still doesn't work we'd need to start looking at logs.

Hey, I was hoping someone else would chime in about the logs. I have used "alogcat" for logs before but I'm not familiar with wifi filters so I'm probably not the best person to help at this point.
Anyone?
Ian
Running the new cm10 15th build wifi is more stable but still drops after about 10 minutes. Any help would be very kind.
With all your flashing and even using latest versions I'd start to wonder if something to do with the rom is not compatible with you're rougher. Have a you tested it on an alternate wifi source? Maybe a neighbors open signal or something. It's a noob thought but it couldn't hurt.

Yes I have. Currently on a different network right now and it was still dropping. Less frequently but still happening.
I've been trying to get alogcat working on my phone but the log is blank no matter what I do. Either way, the main developer thread just got a post about wifi and how it's note staying connected.

Same problem here with wifi on Galaxy Note n7000. It started since I moved from CM9 to CM10.. Now trying every new Nightly, but with no success. Still losing wifi spot every 1min - 10minutes.
Thought if I download something, then wifi is stable, but soon after download is finished, wifi connection is dropped.

I have a Rogers S3, and am currently running CM10 NIGHTLY 20120924. Everything appears to be working well, including Wifi; however, there is the occasional (and I mean quite rare) glitch where Wifi does seem to have a bit of difficulty connecting. Again, this is extremely rare on my device, and it may simply be something unrelated to the ROM.
Peter
YES!! This has occurred for me on the stock ATT TW rom and then same thing happened on EVERY OTHER ROM I tried after that including AOKP, LiquidRom, Aristodemos....
It's annoying and I don't know what to do.
The wifi will connect and stay blue for 5 seconds then turn grey for 10 more sec and then wifi will completely disconnect and wont reconnect unless i turn wifi off and then on again. im at a complete LOSS.
anyone have any ideas?
Exchange it. Don't put it off just use titanium backup and switch your phone.
I am having issues with WiFi on CM10 also. I can use the internet like always but the signal bars will go gray sometimes then back to blue. While they are gray I can browse, usually with chrome, but youtube will not work. It is odd that some apps won't work but some will. It may be dropping and coming back but is not strong enough to stream video.
I am using CM10 10/9/12 nightly and an N600 Netgear router. I am starting to think the Netgear router might be my culprit. I have always had dropout issues with them in the past, although, my computers, 360, and PS3 have no issues. Maybe I could just make it a signal repeater and get a Linksys again.
Has anyone else had this issue, think it is the Netgear? Should I try a new router firmware like dd wrt?

[Q] Phone deactivated?

I was running latest paranoid android and I wiped cache/dalvic cache after flashing Cerberus in recovery and when the phone booted up it was asking me to Activate (sprint service) my phone. I've never seen this with flashing roms and was wondering if this is a known issue with flashing roms on the S3 or something that can randomly occur from time to time.
Anyone have experience with this before? I had been running Paranoid Android for less than 24 hours but initially didn't have any problems whatsoever.
Itll do that sometimes depending on the rom. Usually does it after a factory reset and installing a cm based rom. Its just asking you to add your google account... you should be fine

This didn't have anything to do with my Google account. I guess I should have been more specific, I mean that my phone is deactivated on Sprint's network as in I can't make phone calls and all the info is missing in about phone. Phone number, PRL and such. I am flashing back to stock right now and hope this fixes it. Will probably give paranoid another go but this doesn't sound like a common issue because I haven't been able to find anything by searching.
When you get back to stock it'll probably reactivate itself. If not (although you can do this regardless just in case), ##72786# in the dialer should set you straight. If I'm not mistaken the screen you're referring to should be gone when you boot stock regardless. Its a bug. Doesn't work for a sprint phone but still buried in the rom
Ahhh... could try manually flashing your modem after the install too

Soon as I flashed the stock rom it tried to activate and initially failed and prompted me to reboot. Second attempt it was successful and then I immediately flashed back to PA and it is working. Going to give it another shot and keep the stock rom on my sd card this time in case I get stuck in a pinch.
I jumped the gun, phone activated fine but signal drops in and out randomly and will not connect to 3g. Just reflashed to stock again and everything seemed fine but signal was still back in and out. Checked under status and PRL read "0" tried updating to no avail so did the dialer code and it did the activation and all is right in the world again, or at least for the moment.
Just trying to figure out why when I flash Paranoid all my settings just disappear
*edit*
Just flashed back to PA this third time after fully making sure that the phone was working and had 3G data and all was right with the world (my phone). Will update if it goes South again but as of right now the phone is behaving properly. Maybe it just wasn't working right the first time and I didn't notice since I was on wifi. Only thing that keeps me from thinking that is I didn't get the Activation message until 12 hours or so after I had flashed and had been using the phone. /shrug
I still think flashing a modem in recovery after installing PA would yield a poisitve result

[Q] Issues with vijendrahs's [ROM/4.1.2] [Dec 19 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.0

Yes, I know this belongs in the thread for this ROM, but I'm still trying to hit 10 posts without spamming.
Three issues with v3.0 -
1. It wiped my APNs
2. I can enter new APN info but it does not save, even after I hit "Save," so I have no no phone, sms, or data
3. The Home button doesn't work
Any suggestions for fixes, particularly for the APN issue?! Rolling back to 2.7 for now.
Same to me,but only when try to flash a new RIL,otherwise apn is set right.
Flashing new RILS (various version ) got the signal lost,i don't know why.

Bizarrely enough, all problems resolved
Okay, so my APNs suddenly went away in 2.7, I couldn't get the phone to re-read them, and couldn't get it to accept new entries. I confirmed that the apns-conf.xml file was present and that it contained the correct info for my provider.
What the heck, I re-flashed 3.0. Still no APNs, still no home button. So I tried changing one setting after another trying to see if it would trigger a re-read of the APN file. Switching airplane mode on and off didn't do it, but whether by coincidence or not, after locking and then unlocking the phone, suddenly I had four bars AND the home key worked.
So, if you were holding off trying 3.0, give it a shot. VJ says "let it settle" after flashing -- I guess that what he means is it just takes a good long while for the system to get everything up and running.
I had issues with that ROM starting from version 2.7, and with the AOKP as well,
after some usage, the phone will freeze and restart, after that my home button will not work, all of the system configuration would wipe out, the Google play button in the drawer will vanish and so on.....
I think it is got to do with the a2sd script, I've tried using m2sd instead and the problem hasn't happened again...
so if you are experiencing the same problem try this....
Sorry but home button work on every rom wich i used. Issue of apn happen to me when try to flash another ril, i don't know a way to fix, but is a strange situation when flash a fresh rom. Have you performed a full wipe? Or better a full format except fat32?
