help with a paranoiddroid, (can't post in dev .-.) - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm not allowed to post in dev forums sense I only just created my account (never really needed to previously because the question i wanted to have answered was already asked [lucky me])
anyways, I'm running ParanoidAndroid 2.50, this isn't my first time on a custom rom, i've been rooting, rom'ing, kernaling, and modeming, etc for years, But this is the first time i have this(these) issue(s).
after a sudden crash when listening to Pandora, I've seemingly lost all data capabilities (4G won't connect, nor will 3G/2G, etc). I've also seemingly lost the ability to send SMS messages or receive SMS messages. I can still make calls though, idk about recieving.
I've tried clearing cache, and dalv cache, and i've tried reinstalling my modem (i'm currently running EI27).
Help, TY.

You can't update profile Prl on PA so either temp boot el29 or Odin back to el29 and see if data works.

IIRC, that version isn't stable. Run an older build that is stable.

Figures. It's more stable than 2.51 though. (the darn wifi issue .-. )
I'll just wait till 2.52 is in working order. for now I've completely re-installed 2.50 and it's back in working order. i'll just have to be careful I don't fool around lol

There is a Q&A section for a reason. Let's try to use it.

[Q] Intermittent Data

I have never had this issue with any roms before.
I had been running Fresh Rom 3.1.0.2 or whatever, and recently upgraded to Fresh Rom 3.2
I made sure to wipe everything before installing this rom and now i have weird data issues no matter what rom i use
data works randomly no matter what signal strength i have with the market, signing into google, etc. ( i get network error messages loading market things saying i need to retry even though my browser works )
I have cleared everything many times trying different roms and updating my PRL and Profile also.
Most of the time my data arrows only show uploading too.
I am thinking about going and RUU to 2.1 or whatever and re rooting but which do i use? the PC36IMG.zip or RUU something? a little confused here.
i just wanna go back to stock everything to wipe everything and start fresh to make sure everything is fine.
Thanks!!
I've been having the same issue. A hard reset has fixed the problem, for today at least.

as far as hard reset, what are you referring to? powering off and pulling the battery? or what?
thanks!
I have been having the same issues. I just used the newest rooting method for 2.2 the other day. My web browsing and email pushes are fine but anything related to google (market, maps, signing in) fail out. I just tried wiping cache and it seems to work for now. It is extremely annoying.

[Q] Can't receive texts after last Thursdays radio update

EDIT: Problem Solved
Downloaded Stock Sense 2.2 from here, flashed into that, Reset Data Connection in EPST (Like Here), rebooted and flashed back to CM7. Simple as that!
I realize this may be a bit of repeat thread, But I haven't really got an answer yet.
For reference: I'm running Cm7
Sometime during the day last Thursday, I lost the ability to receive texts. I can send texts, as well as make/receive calls, and data works fine as well. I just can't send them.
Things I've tried include:
Flashing to Stock Sense 2.3
Updating PRL/Profile
Manually installing Radio/PRL/Profile updates
Flashing to a fresh CM7 Install
I also feel like I should add that I tried to open EPST to reset data, but when I enter the code(##3282#) in Phone I get nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll be on until late tonight as to not keep responders waiting. Thanks.
Go to stock rooted 2.2 or MikG or a custom ROM with the old EPST, the new EPST features less. I just do it on stock 2.2 to avoid any problems when doing the restore. My radios are working, did you flash them individually?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Okay
Downloading MikG right now, going to give that a try.
And I think that may be part of my problem, I just can't get the radio to update. I've attempted to install them as a combo, and separately in both ClockworkMod and Amon_RA several times. I never get any error messages, it just installs, and tells me to reboot, but nothing ever changes.
That's why I'm going to try to Reset Data in EPST. I had heard elsewhere that my MSL doesn't match what Sprint has on file, or something like that, and that resetting data should fix this.
Anyway, Thanks a lot, I'll be back in 10-15 minutes with results!
Partial Success
As soon as Stock 2.2 booted up and got to setup, the texts started pouring in. Not sure what caused this, but it seems at this point like a Gingerbread issue. For good measure I opened EPST and did a data reset and updated PRL/Profile. I'm about to flash back to CM7 and see if the changes carried over.
It worked! It was that simple all along! Thank you! Just sent myself a text via email that I received on CM7!

If you rebooted in between installing each one, the radios should've updated. You might not notice any difference, but it should work. Glad to hear that your problem is solved!

[Q] Generic network failure... HELP!

Let me start by saying, I have searched all of the treads for my phone, and the ones suggested before posting a new one, with no luck. I also searched all over other sites for an answer, about 3 hours now, and still nothing that quite fits my problem..
I have a Verizon HTC Inc2
-running 2.3.4
-Virtuous Unity v2.39.0
The problem I keep running into is that whenever I flash a new rom, or do a factory reset with clockworkmod, I can never get my phone to send or recieve MMS. It always says, generic network failure. I have tried with the HTC messages app and handsent app, both failed. The data icon in the notification area usually does not even show activity. I tried wiping the cache several times, restarts, changing data and wifi settings but to no avail. Funny thing is, I can restore my phone to the first backup I made, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and then MMS works.
Any ideas as to what may be happening? I can give you any additional info you need or ask as well. I'm not a total noob, but I feel like one right now. I just can't figure this one out on my own. Thanks!

General Network Error is when the system returns an error stating that you have no connectivity to send a message or an MMS (at least from my experience w/ it). I have this issue a lot with any messaging on my end because of shoddy reception. Which other ROMs besides Virtuous are you flashing that are giving this error? I know for a fact the CM7 has been having a LOT of issues with data connectivity. The last ones I remember hearing about with working data is #79 (or was it #80, I can't remember) and #85 and for a few people, #92.
I do have plenty of reception, always around 2 to 3 bars. Sorry I worded that wrong in my post, Virtuous is the only and first rom I flashed. I did it because Verizon OTA updates kept freezing my phone and I would get the blue android with the !. What I meant was, even when I did a factory reset, my MMS wouldnt work. First time I got that error, I was able to use bootloader and make a backup of eberything, then did a factory reset/wipe data and thats when I first noticed MMS was not working. So I copied the backup to my laptop, did another factory reset and format SD card, then I copied the backup to my card again, and did a restore with that backup. I restored data, cache, system, and boot I believe, and everything was back to normal and MMS was working. Unfortunetly I kept getting the OTA updates and each time, same problem, so this morning I read on a forum that a custom rom would prevent OTA updates, so I flashed Virtuous. I just found it odd that a normal factory reset, with no custom rom, would prevent MMS.
One more thing, not sure if its related, but I keep recieving messages from #6250 that say "VZWNMN: 1." Google searched that, most responses in forums are people saying they get the same thing and that Verizon told them they know nothing about it..
Have you tried a different radio?

People on CM were complaining of the same exact issue. They'd get bars of reception but MMS was just broken. I was just stating that when I try to send a message thru verizon and not google voice, I often get the same error message you're getting, which means that the data is being prevented from going out. I probably should've clarified that a little better lol. When you installed Virtuous, did you do a wipe data/cache and a wipe dalvik cache?
Also, if you restore back to your Gingerbread 2.3.3 that's rooted and your MMS is working fine there, then I don't believe it could be your radio. A possibility would be the kernel, but I doubt that Virtuous would package a kernel that would crash the MMS function. And since it's any SMS/MMS app, that knocks out the possibility of it being application based. The only thing I can suggest, would be to test out another ROM. If you're looking for sense based roms, go for BAMF's (http://www.teambamf.net) or Newt's Incredible 2 HD (http://www.themikmik.com). If you're looking for an AOSP based rom, go for CM7 (found on ROM Manager or at http://www.cyanogenmod.com) or MIUI (ROM Manager again, or http://www.miuiandroid.com). If you want a hybrid, I would suggest Skyraider Zeus (http://www.teambamf.net) or Gingersense (it can be found in the development portion of XDA). Remember when you flash a rom for the very first time, I'm sure you know this already, but you need to backup your rom first and then wipe data/cache and wipe your dalvik cache. Not doing either wipe before installing a brand new rom for the first time can cause unforseen errors.
Ok I found the answer while actually looking for new radios, so thanks for the post! haha
For all you out there who might run into the same problem, this is the solution I found..
Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)
1.Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).
2.Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.
3.Copy this file, ht tp://db.tt/9Ao5ErR, to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link'). This is an XML doc, sorry but since I'm new I can't just post a link, just remove the spaces between ht and tp.
4.Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.
5.You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.

All calls go to voicemail - Help

Hey Everyone,
I am running the SGH-T989 with the latest Darkside (2.3) ROM and kernel. Though new to the forums I have been "trolling" here for years and rooting and moding every phone I have had since ... well I can't remember when.
Never had any serious troubles, but suddenly, about 2 days ago I stopped getting incoming calls. It acts as though the phone is off and all calls go straight to voice mail, this happens when I have full signal, and I can still make outgoing calls. I have done full wipes, charged fully, tried it plugged in, not plugged in, on WIFI calling, on cellular networks, different ROMs, and nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any suggestions?
check under settings --call--- call rejection---auto reject numbers---should be off or the ones you want rejected...may got switched to all calls
Thanks for the response Bobby. Unfortunately I checked that after posting and it is set to off.
However I retired again and I am receiving calls now over Wifi calling, just not over cellular networks.
This is herring frustrating and of course the missus blames me for routing and ROMing
Ok,actuakly I tried to type retried but you gotta love auto-correct.

What about call forwarding?
Just checked and Call forwarding is set to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy / unanswered / unreachable is all set to voicemail.
Could that be the culprit even if I show full signal and am able to make out going calls? Should I disable any of those?
A few weeks back I had flashed a new rom and did a full app restore from Titanium backup. I had the same thing happen with call going directly to VM. I did a full wipe and re-flashed and then restored only missing apps and the problem went away. I assume it may have been a conflict with the restore. Might be worth a try. Good luck.

Yes if you restore system data that causes issues unless it's backed up and restored on the exact same rom.

I am having the same exact problem on Jugs 5.0... very interesting. I did not do a Ti restore, but rather just upgraded from one iteration of Jugs (3.7) to the latest.
But what happens when you don't restore any apps / data? I tried a fresh ROM install and prior to installing any apps I was unable to get any incoming calls (except when on WIFI calling).
Thanks for the help everyone. I guess its time to break down and contact Tmo and see what's up.
You beat me by seconds Poser. I tried Jugs 5.0 too and the problem still didn't go away.

By fresh install did you go into recovery and:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe davlik
4. mnt /system and wipe
5. flash ROM
I only ask, because I am wondering if "ghosting" is leading to mine and your problem?
Well, with the Darkside ROM has its own script to do a wipe ..... But, I'm a little OCD so, especially after having the problem I went through and wipe / re-wiped / wiped dalvik / re-wiped and factor reset.
Then after the flash (no matter what ROM that I have tried since having this problem) I fix permissions and then leave it for some time after boot to let it "settle in".
Hopefully the "ghosting" is your problem and the full wipes will help.

No dice, same problem. Wonder if it is an /efs problem?
Don't know but it is odd. I can still make outgoing calls, get data and everything else.
I have the same exact symptoms...exactly. It also just began a couple of days ago. Have you restored to bone stock via ODIN (I can't, my usb port is shot)?
Get a new sim card. If factory reset doesn't do it and you think its not network related and you don't think you accidentally blacklisted all your friends its probably the sim card.

Android_Monsters hit the nail on the head. I took it to a T-Mobile store, they replaced the sim and all is golden (except that my wife can now call me again )
And in case you are worried, my phone was still rooted / ROMed and the Tmobile rep working the store was simply stunned to see the custom boot screen. They didn't care in the slightest that the phone was rooted and ROMed. In fact he was upset because he couldn't do that because of company regulations.
Same here.... new Sim did the trick
Huh?
This happened to me b4 I called t-mobile and they fixed it without going anywhere.

no in/out texts or inc. calls after cm9 rc1 install

I've searched, so please forgive me if there's something similar. I've found nothing that solves my issue. I have freshly installed cm9 a couple days ago, and then shortly after upgraded to 10. That is where my woes began. Friends and fam started telling me that my phone would ring onced and straight to vm. I get texts in huge batches, a lot of repeats, and very unreliably. I've installed a few other different roms and kernels to no avail. And yes I've wiped everything, every time. My 3g/4g/wifi are fine.. just texts and calls messed up. What's happeninggg =[[[[. Is my radio corrupted or something? How can I fix this?
First: This is a support question and should have been posted in the Q/A forum.
Second: You should probably not install the RC of CM9, since CM9 is now stable and has an official release. http://get.cm/?device=epicmtd&type=stable
Third: Before flashing CM, use Odin to go back to stock and test out SMS, MMS and calls. If all works well, then you can Odin flash CWM, pull the battery, 3-finger boot to CWM and then flash CM9 stable.
If testing SMS, MMS and calls do not work properly on stock, then you need to go to a Sprint store and get them to fix it. Just leave it on the stock rom to bring it in.
