If I have a custom ROM installed, do I get charged minutes for talking with people on my MyFaves seeing as I don't have the MyFaves app installed?
YES ... works
yeah.. the MyFavs are tied to a phone number, so as long as the number is called, it doesnt matter about the myFavs being gone
I have been running custom software since back in the BlackBerry Pearl and the G1, and so far everything works and myFavs works fine

Before i decided to flash a new rom i had been having issues with my phone getting, and staying connected. At first to just data connections, ie 3G. So i decided to try a cooked rom for the first time.
But since then i've had even more troubles getting my phone connected and keeping it connected. Ive been through Hyperdragon III Opal, Dutys latest rom, and now im on the latest AT&T rom, and still im having troubles. Ive hand entered in the Media net connection info so many times ive got it memorized, ive even tried cabs, turning proxy on or off, and just plaing letting it sit for a while. It seems as though every time i try something new it might for a second but next thing i know i lose connection and can't get it again without restarting my phone.
If it helps im currently using HardSPL 3.56, and my phone is running the AT&T ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE and radio 1.65.21.18
This is a very urgent issue for me as in my job i use my phones internet almost daily.
Ok for a while there with the stock AT&T rom it was working just fine. I went to start adding in a few cabs and it was like my phone once again decided to hate me.
Im not trying shogunmarks DeathV4.1 and have NotATreoFans AT&T v3.2.5 Loaded downloading in case the other doesn't work. I don't even really care about having a really awesome cooked rom, working is about all i am after right now.
UPDATE: Tried both of those ROMs to no effect. ive now broke down and rolled back to the original ROM and SPL that came on my phone when i bought it from the store. I pray this at least gets it working long enough for the Touch Pro to come out and me to get enough money to buy one out of contract. Still if anyone has any ideas im all ears.
Ok i hate adding a new reply or bumping this but now things are getting desperate. I have been through checked and changed every setting, tried everything. now its not just data, the phone itself wont work as a phone. Calls wont go out or come in. If someone trys calling my phone it never goes through, it wont even go to voice mail. This makes no sense at all.
All that comes to mind at this point is a defective phone. If you bought the phone new, then it has a 1 year warranty on it, and AT&T will replace it for you. If it's been less than 30 days, then just box it up and go to an AT&T store for a full exchange.

Set the phone band to GSM manually and see if you can make phone calls. If that works then search for 3G problems. There are a lot of bad devices which suffer 3G not working.
Connection Settings
How did you set-up your data connection? Manually or automatic config?

Yea i downloaded BandSwitch last night on a hunch it was just 3G, and low and behold my phone works fine on EDGE. I can make calls, and get the data connection working.

I have tried doing it all by hand, cabs, and even the auto connection wizard. As i discovered last night it wasn't my settings but 3G just not working at all.
Thanks everyone
UPDATE: I called support after rolling my phone back to its original shipped ROM and SPL, and man did the guy at the call center almost crap when he heard how early of a ROM i was using. He said i have to install the newest update first then if its still borken (considering ive had the newest one on here before, i already know the answer to that) that they will send me a new one since im still in my warranty period Yea for customer support
For the last few hours my G1 has been showing me the X above the bars.
Ive tried restoring an old image...tried data wipe/reset.
All end up the same.
Selecting my network (TMOBILE) has been an adventure.
One of the following occurs
The menu itself gets stuck on airplane mode.
sim card not authorized on network
cannot connect to network
Ive rebooted numerous times even when bars/data look like theyre back , Ill make a call and it will drop the call, then right back to the X.
What compounds the oddity is that even with the X Ive gotten data to work for the most part. Sometimes it will sometimes it wont. Im extremely confused if this is my SIM card or the G1 itself.
Cus Serv online said to go to a Tmo store for a new sim. But my schedule may not allow that until Fri. I dont have any other sims or phones to swap and try either.
Any clues what this could be ?
G1/TMo/Offical Tmo Donut ROM from this forum.
Crazy data transfers could be browser cache? Very odd. I would go with what customer service says on this one.
Reflash radio
Just reflash the radio - get the official one from HTC developer site or whereever you can find it and reflash it using recovery ( I hope you have recovery 1.4 or Amon-ra recovery). You can try to take out your SIM and examine it closely, and maybe clean it a little. Just take it out and put it back. Then reflash radio and see if tat works.
Stopped short of flashing the radio.
I wiped and installed Cyn 4.19999 same issue. Rebooted , wiped..then reception came back.
Maybe it was ROM Im thinking ? Wiped restored my previous save (TMO ROM))and everythings working again except for Picmail.((which has been a reoccuring problem)).
Tmo says to go pick up a new Sim card to see if it helps. I guess theres no harm in doing that right ?
Ive never flashed the radio since Cyn and The Tmo ROM dont require it. So its still on stock. Would the pic mail being sproatic before and after this be a Radio problem as well ?

What do you mean by "Picmail"? Do you mean MMS or is that an app?

Yes , PicMail=MMS
Its been buggy for me for awhile.
Im wondering if all this is some wonky Simcard.
Dont stress it. It happened to me yesturday for about a couple of hours. I think TMOB is workin out some signal issues. I had the same exact problem along with 10 of my fellow network friends. No rom bugs or flash fcuk ups. It'll restore it self normally unless you truely did it to your self while flashing.
Could very well be.
Thanks Garz.
I called up ATT and got the unlock code for my friends old HTC Tilt, unlocked and placed my T-Mobile SIM card in it which has an active voice + text + web account on it, with the default ATT Rom on it I was only able to set it up to do voice and text, whenever I tried using the Data connection for like let's say IE it would bring up a page for web2go, even after Flashing the phone with different ROMs I found on this great site and went through the auto communication setup for t-mobile, and still it only does voice + text, any ideas?
Right now here are my specs:
HTC Tilt
R: 1.70.19.09
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.TPCElite
HardSPL 3.29
Let me know if you need any more info..
Call T-Mobile Support
Same thing happened to me last night. I called them this morning and they fixed it in about 10 minutes.
ok cool, so I should just call them up and they should be able to tell me what to do? or do you know how?
thanks in advance,
-b3ck
There should be a cab file somewhere that sets it all up for you.
I called up T-Mobile and talked with one of their non-supported device technicians (they have an entire support dept. of these guys) and it was actually on their end, they had to allow the IMEI to use the Data plan, because basically the phone was like Hi let me use the Data on the Network and the network was like what's your name? and the phone was like I'm John Smith, and the network was like your not on the list sorry.
So.. yea I was talking with a very smart tech support lady @ T-Mobile, she even mentioned these forums, she said she recommends it to people that have devices that aren't supported by t-mobile she even wanted to know which ROM I flashed onto my Tilt =)
Anyways everything is good to go now, thanks everyone!

Did you have to slip here a fiver?

huh? I don't know what that means..
I have an issue. I just switched my entire plan over to the even more plus. On my old plan I had tzones and it works great for everything. Now I have the web2go. The problem is not getting the device to work on the internet2.voicestream.com, that works fine, but it is the battery drain. In a 4 hour period it will kill a full battery. When I remove the internet2 setting then the battery lasts all day. anyone else see this issue. BTW I'm using the JJblaster 23518 and radio 1.70.18.02
what do you all think, a bit odd for it to drain the battery that fast?

I checked the FAQ and did not see anything...
I am getting bored with my Moment, last week I flashed 2.2 on the Vogue just to see what it is like. Glad to see you guys are still developing on it! We don't even have 2.2 yet, just the FroYo JIT.
If I remember correctly you have to flash Windows Mobile back on the Vogue before you can activate it, right?
yes that is correct. And how are you getting board with your moment.Just wondering cuz thats a phone i really want

I don't know how sprint does it, but this has been my experience on verizon:
I have a touch and a touch pro. I switch back and forth maybe twice a week via the website and never bother dialing activation. my guess is: the first time your activate a phone on your number, you have to call activation to get the akey sorted out. after that, the akey should never change, so you can switch back and forth between those two devices without having to call activation just by switching your esn with the carrier.
again, i'm on verizon, and this could definitely be carrier specific, but it's painless to test for yourself.
Sprint is different after being activated the phone dials #777 then that starts the provisioning I know dzo had some script that could be used for activation but I don't know what became of it

I am a ROM flashing junkie!
SDX has been keeping me busy with ROMs for the Moment, but I remember the initial excitement with putting Android on a phone that was never meant to go further than Windows Mobile 6.1. Good times.

a script to activate would be awesome.
so is this possible: set up the sprint touch with android the way i want it (phone, internet and everything working), then change the phone out and put my wife's account on that touch android phone. or would i have to go back to winmo before putting wife's phone number/account on it?

i was able to activate my phone from myns warm donut using *228 option 1 on verizon after a whole mess of flashing to get my gps to work. i activated my old phone during the whole process so i wouldnt miss any calls. i ended up with nfs fan 6.5 and i couldnt activate my phone, so i tried it on warm donut from my sd card for the heck of it and it worked. not sure if its rom specific or what not but that worked for me...hope that helps
A few months back i did my first Android experimenting with my girlfriends Sprint HTC Hero she wasn't using anymore, because we switch her over to a Palm Pre. So I took the Hero she wasnt using anymore, rooted it and updated it to CM6.0.0. Of course it didn't have service and everything I was doing was over wifi at that time. Well, her Palm Pre jacked up on her so we had to pull the Hero out and put her back on it. We got her switched over to the Hero on the website. She can make and receive calls fine and receive and send text fine, but cant send or receive MMS or transfer any data. Browser just says no connection. I saw on another thread, something about updating profile and/or prl under settings but I dont have that and i guess because i dont have Sense. Is there something i can do or am i going to have to install a new ROM? if i have to do another ROM, what do i need to install? i have done alot of stuff with Windows Mobile and GSM over the years, but i'm not too savvy on Android and CDMA.

Try flashing a different rom. If you have the correct data plan which I'm guessing you do and a different rom doesn't help ruu that ***** it'll return all your settings and then update prl and then profile.
