ROM with not service? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I've got and old DInc2 now that I don't use because I've got my Galaxy Nexus, but I thought I'd convert it to like a pmp kind of thing. There's always airplane mode and wifi, but I was wondering if there are any ROMs out there designed for just using it for media? I looked around a bit but I didn't find anything relevant because im not sure exactly what to search for, but I just want a simple set up to basically just use wifi and put media on it.
Thanks for any help.

This is an interesting idea. However I highly doubt that you would find anything like that.
But most sense 3/3.5 ROMs ask you if your going to use this as a phone, or just for wifi in the setup. Mabye you could check those out.

The TSM UKB ROM (v & x) has beats audio with it
Hasta la vista, baby

There are a few roms for the Eris like this. They started popping up when everyone started upgrading to different phones. I think the devs just removed the files for cellular connection. On this phone I don't see any reason that you would need to remove them since we aren't short on internal space like that phone is. Just find a rom you like and don't activate the phone then turn off mobile networks in the settings. You can then use it like a pmp or a very small tablet :good:

Does that make it so it doesn't search for networks though? I just don't want to waste battery on that, its already disappointing enough. Currently I just have the no data over mobile network box checked, and the WiFi network I have access to right now is pretty flaky, so I'm not sure where some of my network problems are coming from.

I'm not sure if that would stop it from searching for 1x (the voice network) but it would stop from searching for 3g which uses more battery than 1x. I'll grab a link for one of the Eris rooms for you. You could pm the dev and ask him what files he removed.

I found a script that disables the radio, but keeps wifi running, without having to activate airplane mode every boot and then turn wifi back on. Seems to be working well so far.

Cool I'm glad you found something that works.

I used my Inc2 as a WiFi-only phone with GrooveIP for about a month. With mobile data turned off and WiFi turned on, I could leave the phone on for over 48 hours without the battery dying.

[Q] How well do ports work?

On my Infuse, there were always several issues with ported ROMs. There would be an insanely annoying bug where you would have no audio on the first call after a boot. They also (at least on my phone) always messed up when I entered a PIN longer than 4 numbers. It would just say "Incorrect PIN" even though it was correct.
So before I start sharing more lonely stories, do ports work fine on this phone?

I haven't stuck with anything except CleanROM but the only reason is because I use a lot of TouchWiz features. I've tried most of the other ROMs and there weren't any bugs in any of them (that I noticed). They all seemed to work perfect. I've flashed many ROMs and never seen so many that just seemed to work right out of the box. The best advice I can say is find one you wanna try, make a full backup, and try it out.
ported criskelo rom v6
im not sure why I am not able to access data thru my note 2. ive done everything that madmack has posted and I am still unable to use data other than wifi
I came from infuse too. I remember that bug. Paranoid and cm10 dont fully utilize the s pen. It loses page buddy and hover pointer. But it is super fast. I bought this phone for the full feature. So only full ports seem fine. What features do you care to lose or not.

Can someone try out a music streaming app for me?

Sup
Since everyone here is essentially on the same hardware and network, I want to know if anyone else is having the same issues I am.
I can not get the 1.fm app to work on the Sprint network (3G or 4G). It will only work if I am on a WiFi network.
I enjoy listening to Chillout Lounge, and I'd like to listen to the station in my car, but I keep getting a message saying "Internet Connection Lost.....Reconnecting".
I want to see if it's a problem with my phone, a problem with the sprint network, or maybe a problem with my modem firmware.
If anyone can get it to work, let me know what Modem you have.
Thanks.

Well considering the first 3 post on the download page talks about connection issue I doubt it is just you. How is your 3g and 4g connections? Do you have a problem with other streaming apps?

My 3G and 4G connections are quite good actually. I've even tethered my laptop through 4G and used RDP to connect to a remote machine and it seems quite stable. RDP can certainly have issues if the connection has issues.
But I've also seen issues when tying to use Rad.io. Which makes me think it's not just a software issue.

Okay what about like Pandora or Ihart or any of those? I could be a memory issue on your phone but I doubt it. It just might be how those apps work are written etc.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the help, but have you taken a moment to load the app I mentioned? It would be a lot more helpful if someone can test this app on their phone.
I honestly don't care about Pandora. It's not the program that is giving me a problem. What I need is for someone to confirm they are having similar issues that I am having with the programs I am trying to run. I don't want to run a ton of tests on my phone before it is determined the issue is even in my phone.
Just to let you know, Pandora does seem to work, but I'm not trying to get that program to work.

How on earth does that lead to more questions. You are seriously over-complicating a simple request. Download the app, try using it on the cell network, let me know the results. That's all I am asking for.
I'm just trying to collect information. You are doing everything except give me the information I am requesting. So if you aren't willing to help me by doing this simple task and give me the results, then please go away.

I'm sorry, sometimes the only way to get the message across to people is to just be blunt about it. I was just trying to get some information that he was refusing to provide.
He was making suggestions that were aimed at diagnosing my phone. Before I can take that step, I need to determine if the problem is even in my phone. For that, I need people to try the app on their phones. If the majority of people that test the app say it is working for them, then I can determine my next step and go from there.
I'm not asking for anyone to do anything that would harm their phone or have them invest more than a couple of minutes of effort. The reviews on the Play Store page do not provide the information I am looking for. They are just commenting that it doesn't work. I am trying to find commonality.
If you were cooking something and go up to another person and ask them if what you are cooking needed a little salt, and without even doing a taste test, they start asking if I used a lot of garlic or have the temperature set up to high, then they are not being helpful. And having to remind them that all you want is their opinion on the salt, and they still refuse to do a taste test, it gets a little annoying.

Thanks,
I just noticed something new when I tried to play that station
While at home, when I play a station, I get a little message saying "Lost Internet Connection....reconnecting" and it does try to reconnect, but just keeps looping the same error. Now that I'm at work, I get a new message saying "Internet Connection Error. Please try again later" and it stops trying to play anything.
This kinda leads me to thinking it might be an issue with the actual sprint network in my area. But I'd still like some more people to try it out to get a clearer picture.

Other streaming apps are NOT working. I already stated the Rad.io will not stream the same stations in post #3.
And those reviews don't have enough information to conclude it is a problem with the app. Only that it is not working for them. If I could talk to those people I would, but I can only talk to the people here, which is why I want to see if anyone else has the same problem. If I can find someone with the same problem, then we can go to the next step, which would be looking for the common elements (modem, rom, location, etc)
Knowing if the app works or not for other people is far more helpful for me. Through all this, have you even tried the app on your phone? Hell, you might even like the app because most of those stations play some really good stuff you don't normally hear on a typical radio station.

Trust me I understand what you are saying in post 5# you answered Pandora another streaming app is working. I know you don't want or care about Pandora it was to test if Sprint was the issue which appear to not be the case. And honestly at the time I was not in a position to d/l or test had crappy reception at where I was when I answered you the last time. And at home is bogus because I have a Airrave. I am at work now and d/l to test. To me reviews show a possible issue seeing one was like 2 days ago complaining about the same thing even some of the good comments suggest connection issues. (did have another review but after rereading it the user had other issues)
Testing right now got 5 or 6 bars 4g and same issue and I am in the bean. So I stand by what I said in post 7 (See screenshot)

Thank you. That screenshot tells me a lot. I am assuming you are rooted, so I'm hoping someone who isn't rooted can try it (fat chance of that considering this is XDA, but I can hope).
And one of the issues with those reviews is there is almost no mention of what network they are running on, so I can't use them to determine if it's a problem with the program on certain networks.
The reason I didn't care for Pandora is because it doesn't work like the 1.fm program (or other internet radio station apps). Pandora can't tune into the broadcast stations I like to listen to.

I understand they don't work the same but streaming is streaming proves network is good (which is my only point). I know there is a lot of unknown with the reviews but it can be a indication that it isn't you.
And to answer your question yes I am on TPR a stockish ROM.

Didn't think I had WiFi issues until today.

So myself and the wife are at Applebee's. She gets on WiFi no issues and I can't. See below screen shots. I even rebooted my device to no avail. Mine was always unstable and would drop. Hers was solid see.pics below. Mines the N900T and hers is the N900A. Both using Att sim cards.
I'm thinking Samsung used different chip sets sources for their wifi.
Sent from my SM-N900T
Doubtful that they used different chipsets. So you are both on stock roms, or have you been flashing stuff on yours?
Have you already factory reset your phone? A lot of people have had minor issues and flashing stock firmware or factory reset has helped some issues.

You might have to go back to factory rom, or turn your wifi off and disable always scanning. It may be trying to find a better network.

Unfortunately, i think its just the hardware. Your phone might have two antennas and if you find your correct kernel, you could change it to run off the best antenna possible. might take some testing and such. if all else fails go to your service provider for a evaluation

Yes, correct. Once after connecfting to the Wifi Router I need to launch the stock Samsung browser to accept their terms and conditions, this process in itself takes about 5 mins or hangs proir to terms and conditions screen it boots me off the WiFi and says its unstable or too slow per my original post.
Its just that theres too many people on the network, Thats the only issue. It mainly does this on public networks. So it is not a phone problem its a client network problem :thumbup:
I had this briefly on my home WiFi. Wasnt a client network as I allow 10 objects to be on mine. Its water under the bridge but that is a possibility on a public network.
sent from my sm-9005.
I had this problem in spades.
It has nothing to do with a public hotspot or router.
I'm not entirely sure it's not on some type of pattern yet, like 7 or 8 days.
I'll bet you that if you had powered off your phone for a few minutes and turned it back on, the problem would have been gone.
I am pretty sure this is something going on with the Radios in these phones.
Everytime mine gets flaky it usually resolves with a power down for a few minutes.
The other problem I've seen is that if I shut down wifi a number of times in a row because I want to use Mobile data, it will then start not staying connected when I want to use it.
I have to power off and power on and re enter the WPA2 password.
After seeing another thread with some other strange issues, I'm convinced there is a HW or SW issue related to the wifi radio.
I have seen the message exactly like you have here on a AP at my house that only has 2 clients on it and performs flawlessly.
It wouldn't connect to attwifi at Sam's yesterday for some reason.
This is one of the reasons I won't ROM it yet either. I'm still not convinced that it might not go home to the mothership at some point.

Question on tethering s6

Reactivate the old device to your line, then switch back to your S6. You'll get the activation EMail containing your six digit activation number, or "MSL" Alternatively you could use Galaxy Tools.

Thanks! I can't contact sprint for it and Galaxy tools proved itself to be gone.

Also, may I ask: How the heck did you find galaxy tools
Even Better!
Saafir said:
If youd like you can replace your Hidden Menu.apk in system/app with this one. It has the MSL prompt removed.

Thanks! I'd rather use this than Galaxy Tools........ Idk. Just doesn't feel right. Whatever I have a strange mind sometimes

I can vouch for this as well. Just tried it, and it is working perfectly. Thanks!
could somebody explain this whole thread to me please.
Am i to assume that i need root and some tweaking of permissions and what not? To acheive the unlimited internet with mobile hotspot? Does the phone come with a stock hotspot app? Or is one needed from the playstore?
My verizon phone note2 was never rooted and came with hotspot app. BUT, i was limited on the internet. Whereas, my sprint note2 had to be rooted and has the wifi tether app.
I've heard the coverage has improved. And from what i can tell with my sprint note2. That appears to be the case. I would really like to ditch verizon and get back to sprint. For half the price and unlimited. My verizon s6 appears to have better coverage then the note 2. And it has a stock hotspot app. I"m hoping to see improved coverage results with the sprint s6. And really want the unlimited internet. Preferably at the SPARK or 4g speeds that are available. ( I'm a truck driver )

Yay! That's all the was needed! But one Question, I accidentally enabled some sort of debugging using the Galaxy Tools APP I know it said (QCOM ONLY) at the end.and now anytime I boot it says silent log failed I tried doing a complete restore from a few days ago and it is still there.

Sprints alot better. Especially with the new phones. My S4 got better coverage than my HTC EVO 4G LTE and My s6 gets the best connection of all

It was the SysDump Menu. Enable Silent Logging from Boot(ONLY QCOM) how do I disable?

E4 Qualcomm LOS CDMA Data Fix Discussion

I figured we should have a thread to discuss working on fixing mobile data on cdma E4's to keep the chatter out of the rom threads. @CodyF86 I'm able to get full signal bars and even get it to say sprint or boost for the carrier. I just can't get it to actually connect. I tried adding overlays for the radio access families: https://github.com/aaronmarch/andro...mmit/c9325b3a56426f4a49af8aa072b075549ab99546
I also changed up the init_moto.cpp like the init_surnia.cpp we have for surnia with only the boost info for now: https://github.com/aaronmarch/andro...mmit/ca313bab8097a971e88ecdcfd8495a0545d9d80e
No go. I've tried changing up the apns, completely different apns, the stock apns, mvno-slayer...
Any ideas? Do you think we can get it, or should we try to call in reinforcements?
https://test-it.us/apns-conf.xml
Here is the stock E4 apns-conf.xml file unfortunately these values must matched what is built into apps/common/res/apns.xml, so you'd have to include the apn file i linked to /etc/apns-conf.xml and make that match what you build lineage with or use sql editor.
I'm working on it as we speak tho. I did randomly have a 1x data connection earlier lol. Well get it; it should be simple. WIll keep you posted.
And for whatever reason being able to edit and save apns if you edit the mcc mnc and have them not disappear seems to have reverted. It was working for a month or so not to long ago.
apn carrier="Sprint"
mcc="311"
mnc="870"
type="default,supl,mms,fota,cbs,ia,wifi"
protocol="IPV4V6"
roaming_protocol="IPV4V6"
mmsc="http://mm.myboostmobile.com"
mmsproxy="oap7.sprintpcs.com"
mmsport="80"/>
Is the new boost /sprint LTE apn.
I added the wifi under type even tho boost blocks wifi calling atm via the phones imei or whatever, but sprint allows wifi calling can also change name of apn carrier to sprint, but seems like lineage roms call it sprint regardless and that doesn't really matter.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard because it's reading the sim card. It's almost there. I completely forgot about about making the apns match, I knew I was forgetting something, lol.
@mightysween and some others for the Moto G got cdma working back then....

Yeah, me and CodyF86 and mainly Gabrielle M, who I was thinking about when I mentioned calling in reinforcements. I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of getting the apns correct, so it's not as bad as falcon was back then.

Yes. I haven't able to get even the 1x but CodyF86 said he did.
Check out "SysLog"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog
This is a quick way to pull a log for people without quick access to a PC. Just tick modem bc it covers ril/sim connections
This isn't 100% perfect but it is a good place holder for sending info and it has a scrubber to clear off personal data. But it takes longer.

That's what I usually recommend and use when I want to get some logs away from my pc.

It's odd because I've gotten 3G to work without even touching a thing. 1 day I got no data and the next I'm suddenly connected. After flashing the test zip in the Aquarios thread, it stopped working. I reflashed the ROM in hopes it'll return but no luck so far
On the lineage ROM I get 3G when I reset network settings and enable and disable airplane mode for some reason. Not sure if any of you guys have experienced the same thing with that ROM. I will be tinkering with various things to see if anything comes from it.

For future reference, please don't talk about a rom other then the one the thread is for. In reference to your AquariOS comment in the Lineage thread. It's kinda rude and against the rules.

I am on the stock rom of the unlocked Amazon version. Phone is on the Sprint Free Service for a year plan so I figured I would tinker around with *#*#DATA#*#* because I was trying to figure out if CA was enabled because it's the Qcom Snapdragon version. I tried changing the LTE Band Priority. Band 41 is strong in my area and I have a Magic Box which amplifies it to be useable indoors. When I changed the Band Priority the LTE signal COMPLETELY dropped. If I switch settings to 3G or 1x I'll get signal bars. When I first turn on the phone it will connect to LTE for less than a second and then completely drop.
I'm guessing when I changed the band setting (I may have made 1 small change on the APN screen but can't remember) that it made an edit to the APN, which seems impossible to get to the regular APN screen like you easily can with GSM carriers.
I'm a newbie but I've searched everywhere trying to find a fix without rooting (since I just got the phone a month ago it would be easier to get a warranty replacement at this point). Ultimately what I'm saying is that it seems whatever the issue you are having with the custom mod must be similar to what I accidentally did to my phone. Maybe that will help narrow down what exactly is triggering your phone to not have data. :cyclops:
If this is a "duh, we knew that already" I apologize in advance! I browse tons of threads on here but have never posted so I was thinking maybe my mistake could help figure out someone else's issue

Ouch. Okay :/
Here is what I could muster for compare/contrast with a logcat @amarc78. hope it helps?
I wasn't home to add this note. But it was done with the same combo for the original alpha you sent me
SS:
One build I was using had mobile data problems and resetting the APN to default helped connect without manually putting in an APN maybe that might work for some.

I'm sure it is. This is all I could get out of a aosp-caf build.

I also believe it may have something to do with ##SCRTN# in stock, then flashing over. Because going from Lineage with 1x to stock makes my phone go 3G only until I use ##SCRTN# then it fixes the data properly to LTE
(This has happened everytime with Amarc's Alpha Lineage OS)
