I know this probably has been posted before and i've searched but cant seem to find it. I am using the 5.99 Tzone plan and I can do everything else but Send/Receive MMS. I was wondering if there was a cab out there I could download. THanks for the help everyone :
What Rom are you using? The data plan shouldn't have anything to do with mms... if you've installed a new rom on your phone, and haven't set up the MmS settings... it won't just work. you need to set them up manually or run the network wizard.

Thanks but I got it. Some other thread had a cab and it worked out for me. Umm I now forced another issue. I overclocked to 263 from 247 and Now the screen is all messed up but the phone is still working. Just the screen is all crazy. what can I do about that?

Can you link to that thread? I have never been able to send or receive MMS messages. Well..at least receive..I don't ever send them. But I've done network settings, confirmed everything is right. Now that I did network settings it TRIES to get them, but I get a message saying "In order to send/download MM Messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use). Do you want to continue?" It then gives you yes or no for options...when I say yes it doesn't do anything...same message comes again. When I say no the MMS notification goes away yet there's nothing in the inbox.
Can you direct me to what figured out your problem?
I'm using itje's touch-it rom, fyi. One he came out with a few months back...not sure which version it would have been. I think the first one he came out with for the wing.
my phone boots and runs android beautifully but my data connection does not work at all
also my wifi is not working.
anytips?
I have the same Problem
I have the same problem. I found a Link to android where the wifi is working
1111www mega up load. com/?d=Y1VDY673 (without spaces and without the ones)
Let me know when you get data to work. thanks
thanks that link is SUPER slow on my comp, but imma let it go
i have no idea how to get data, i think it is a problem with the apn settings and i cannot find any of that information for cellular south
does anybody hav access to cell south apn data, i think that may be wats wrong because the fone says it has "3G" and the up arrow flashes but the down does not and it goes no where
Phone Number is #777
User Name: [email protected]
This user name is usually the same as your phone number.
PassWord: (ESN Hex number in all caps)
Note: ESN = MEID for CSouth Touch Diamond. You can find it behind the battery.
That's the settings for setting up in WM. I'm currently trying to figure out Android myself. I'll post my results.
Edit: Alright, I figured it out.
Create a new APN with the home key.
In server, put #777. The rest is the above information.
did that fix work?
ok this still did nothing for my diamond, what build and kernel and stuff were you using?
Nothing happen to my phone either
i am about to throw my diam500 out the window, ever since i started tinkering with android, it has NOT worked at all, to top it off, it will not sync with active sync or mount as a disk, i want OUT i want REAL android i hate winmo rite now plus my rom sucks, its slow freezes all the time and the sad part is that its the best one ive tried
Lol, Try the gtx fearless rom on ppc greeks website. just google roms for cdma htc diamond.
I'm sorry for not responding, but I seemed to have it working at first. After a soft reset, it seemed to have stopped. Right now, I'm trying to determine another way using other threads I've found across the internet.
I'll try to find a fix, if I can.
Edit: Updating to the latest rootfs, zimage, etc.. Fixed the data problem for me. The APN I have set up is called "Android", APN is "Internet", and APN Type "Default".
Also, make sure you have "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" in your cmdline area of startup.txt or else you have an annoying keyboard that won't go away on the top of the screen. I had this bug during my first turn on with update, but I put this in before booting Droid again, so it may have gone away on its own.
Awesome

Another thing I'd like to add, is that you MAY have to enter Airplane mode, then exit.
Definitely working for me 100% now, though.
anyone having the problem of the charge light working in reverse of what its suppose to?
my charge light pulses when the phone is not charging and is off when the phone is charging. I wasn't sure if this was a cellular south problem or an overall problem.....or if I screwed something up

Bricked Devices
I've only added this section because lately there has been claim of people "bricking" their devices. There are 2 different types bricks:
Soft Brick
A soft[ware] bricked phone is one that has had its (boot) partition(s) ruined but will still communicate on a COM port. These are fixed by flashing the correct .hex files in Download Mode of QPST to recover the boot partition.
*Currently there is no known .hex files for our phone*
Hard Brick
A hard[ware] bricked phone is one that has had its chipset memory ruined. The only way to fix this is via JTAG to directly access the memory in the chipset and reflash it.
*Currently Riffbox DOES NOT support our chipset and HTC has started implementing "JTAG Fuses" in their phones blocking you from being able to flash the chipset.*
To be quite honest though, all of you end users shouldn't have to worry about bricking your device, cause its pretty hard to do if you actually read and follow directions correctly. If you do brick your device, whether you followed the instructions to the dot or not, its still your fault. Devs take no responsibility for your actions. It was your choice to do, its your fault.
Network Symbols Explained
*As I've only had AT&T, I can only speak for how it is with them.*
Firstly, AT&T stock LTE phones always showing 4G is a lie. It will show 4G wether you have HPSA or HPSA+. Technically 4G doesn't even exist. It's a marketing gimmick.
According to AT&T here is how the symbols work:
E(dge): GSM - The slowest of the slow.
3G: HSPA or UMTS - High Speed Pack Access and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
3G(+): HSPA+ - An upgrade to the HSPA protocal. This is your average network.
4G: HSPA+ - Tower upgrade. Enhanced backhaul.
4G LTE: LTE - Long Term Evolution. On LTE you should typically expect speeds no less then 20mbps.
If you are using the RumRaider ROM (as of 1/3/'12) your symbols will appear as:
E - E
3G - 3G
4G - H
4G LTE - 4G
Preparing for ROOT
Firstly what is ROOT?
Where should I go to READ up on what to do? Check out the HTC Vivid SUPERGUIDE.
*Please make sure you read word for word, and use the search button to see if your question has been answered before you post.*
**No really, I'm being serious, read it word for word. If you brick your phone, its your own fault.**
Flashing ROMs
Now I obviously can't tell you how to flash ROMs because everyone is different, and I want you READING what the Dev has spent his time to type up. So at least humor them, and read it. Even if you think you know everything there is to possibly know about flashing ROMs. You might just learn a thing or two.
Some good things to remember (along with READING the Devs posts) -
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.
Don't expect it to be perfect:
Every ROM for our phone is a work in progress. And they'll be that way for a long time. So obviously things are gonna act up, things won't work, things won't be included, ect. Don't flash the ROM and then complain about something not being there, or being buggy. Especially if its stated in OP...
Don't spam for something you want in the ROM:
This isn't your ROM and XDA isn't your personal army If theres something you want really bad. Do some research, find a flashable zip for it. If it won't work with our device, ask a dev if they'd be willing to port it for you. If they won't then don't ask keep asking and bugging. If you are gonna ask a dev to port it for you, donating is a good thing to do. If one ROM has a bunch of things you want, and the one youre currently on doesn't, don't say "but this ROM has it". The solution is simple, switch ROMs. If your extremely picky on what you want, make your own ROM.
Read through all the posts before asking a question:
Sometimes it could be as simple as you messing up on a step or forgetting to do something. Sometimes its a known issue. A lot of times the answer to your problem is already in the thread. It'd save you (and everyone else) a lot of time if you'd just find the solution by reading.
Don't blame the dev:
If something happens to your phone, it is your fault. Whether you messed up or not. If you flashed the ROM, you took the chance. 99% of the time, it is absolutely because you did something wrong.
Keep a cool head if you make a major boo boo:
If something does go wrong, do not flip out and go ape crazy. No matter how bad it seems, a lot of the time there is a solution to fix it. Check to see if a solution has been found by someone in your situation. If not, then you can make a thread in the development forum. Post everything you did, any errors that popped up, and whats wrong. Be patient, stay cool, and do everything someone says to try.
Donate:
Donate and use the thanks button. The devs are spending their free time making these ROMs for you. They don't get payed to do this. Its a hobby for them. So at least make it a little more worth while for them. Remember they made something youre using, and most likely without them, you couldn't do yourself.
How to increase Battery Life
Firstly, let your phone deep sleep! When your not using it don't keep messing with it. If you think you got a text or an email, check the LED light (assuming you didn't change the settings)
Set the Screen Brightness down:
Don't keep your screen up at 100%...This should be a given. Typically Auto Brightness is enough but if your in an area where light is shining on the sensor making it brighter then it needs to be turn it down.
Turn Wifi off when not in use:
I know its convenient to keep your wifi on but I don't think you have any idea how much battery is wasted when you have no connection. It just sits there and searches over and over. Tasker allows your wifi to be automatically be toggled by your GPS location along with many other convenient battery saving toggles.
Vibrate uses more power then a sound notification:
If you don't need the phone to vibrate to notify you, don't use it. This is a very simple way to actually increase your battery life if you get a lot of notifications.
Turn off Data when not needed:
If you're somewhere that you know you won't be checking XDA, FB, or other data related things, turn it off. This will save a good amount of battery. If you still want to be able to receive mms, or emails, go to the Sync settings and disable the syncing of whatever you don't need.
Calibrate your battery
Technically every time you flash a ROM you should calibrate your battery or once every other month. This is the way I do it, but there are numerous ways out there to do it -
1. Let phone die
2. Pull battery, wait 30 secs, put battery back in
3. (Keeping the phone off) Charge to 100%
4. Pull battery, wait 30 secs, put battery back in
5. (Keeping the phone off) Make sure it still reads 100% when plugged in
6. Using an app or CWM Recovery wipe your battery data
7. Enjoy your calibrated battery
CPU Speed
Now typically I don't dwell into the area of messing with CPU speeds, using an app such as SetCPU, unless the current kernel isn't doing it correctly. This is because (IMO) the kernels default governor typically does an amazing job keeping the CPU in the areas it needs to be. The stock kernel maxes the CPU speed out at 1.2ghz. This is an underclocked speed (under the average rated speed for the CPU). The CPUs normal rated speed is 1.5ghz. So once again, 1.2ghz for improved battery life and still having a perfectly functioning device, 1.5ghz on the top of the absolute normal safe side. I say this because our device already runs hot even being underclocked. Overclocking is typically only for benchmarking although it does help some if you dwell in the area of high demanding apps and such.
*If you're on a kernel that doesn't correctly govern or just want to mess with the settings keep reading on; If not scroll on past to the next section*.
**Messing with you CPU speeds/voltages can cause your phone to freeze, overheat, and can drastically shorten the life of your device.**
Here is the settings that I use:
Main -
(On Demand)
Max: 1188000
Min: 192
Screen off -
(On Demand)
Max: 432
Min: 192
*At the time of writing this, overclocking isn't supported in any kernels, so until I update this, don't ask for the safe (if you can call it that) speeds!*
LCD Density
A lot of you have probably heard about changing your LCD density and are wondering what it is or how it works. Basically changing your LCD density changes the dpi (dots per inch or pixels per inch).
Essentially it allows you to go from this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To this:
Credit to Addictive Tips for the pictures.
Rather then me trying to explain it any more then that, here is a good in depth article on the science behind it: LCD Density Explained.
Here is a good app to change your LCD Density: LCD Resolution
*When changing your density remember, the lower the number the bigger everything appears or the higher the number the smaller everything appears.*
**I don't know if this app works on our phone, I have never tried it. I have heard of it having issues on Ice Cream Sandwich but working fine on Gingerbread**
Beats Audio
*First and foremost stop asking for it to be cooked into a ROM, if you want it on your phone you can find the flashable zip here*
Now I know you're thinking, why is there a section just on Beats? The answer? This is one of those smoke and mirror things that I think needs to be cleared up. Beats is just a glorified EQ. All it does is clean up and amplify low frequencies (bass). Most phones that come stock with beats have speakers that are designed for it. Ours is not. Maybe if you have a pair of bass heavy headphones then yes this is for you...but even then you could just use a more customizable EQ and get the sound cued to how you really want it. As far as what it affects...just the music player. It doesn't affect streamed music, Pandora, youtube, ect.

One question I have involving battery life, I know with my Infuse, wiping the battery stats (calibrating) did absolutely nothing (don't ask me how/why). Something to do with the battery itself and how the phone reads it. So my question is, can anyone shed some light on if calibrating does make a difference for the Vivid?
From what I've noticed in flashing rumraider it has helped but then again it could just be in my mind cause I used to have to with my hd2. Honestly I guess a test would be the only true way to to tell.

Possibly. I'll try to look through the Infuse forums for some more info. I remember hearing it numerous times though. Maybe HTC phones do not apply... I'll let you know if I find anything.
as Entropy keeps telling everyone in sammy forums: "stop trying to apply HTCisms to this phone!"...
battery stats might still be completely valid here, but im not a kernel guy so i dont go that far into it.
Could the experienced vivid users that have setcpu compile their profiles for the less experienced for battery saving? Thanks

If you can boot into hboot find the thread about returning to stock and follow those instructions.
If you cannot boot into hboot (softbrick) then you'll have to send your phone to HTC to get it fixed.

this maybe a stupid question, because the whole forum is labelled as such but I want to double check.
I live in Sydney/Australia. My father works for Telstra Mobile Net (the major mobile carrier down here) and through him I know where all the 4G coverage is. It just happens to be, where I live... and where I work.
So, I want to get:
http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/ph...s_kwcid=TC|6013|HTC velocity||S|e|13819125193
This forum is primarily labeled as the HTC Vivid, am I looking at the right forum for rooting and ROMing my phone?
before this I had a desire and desire s (which died, I bricked it and I know it ) and I had so much fun romming and playing with these phones I want to ensure that the fun will continue with my new one.
Thanks team.
You are in the right section. If you get one, get a Telstra branded one (which is what you were looking at), last time I checked the Unlocked version of the Velocity hasn't gotten the hboot OTA update necessary for it to run ICS ROMs
Also I'm jelly of Telstras plans, I almost pay that much just for 2gb of data The whole $XXX for MMS/CALLs part of the Telstra plan confuses me though...
without a doubt I will be getting a Telstra one.
yeah, well. As I said my father works for them, so I get the phone on a staff plan.
its basically a $40 cap plan, with 1gb of data and I think its like $400 worth of calls.
i'll report back when I get it sometime this week.
Battery saving.
I have found great results with 2x Battery. It toggles the data connection for you. It will shut it down after about a minute of screen off when it goes into standby and turns it back on in under 5 seconds of wake up. You can white list apps too.

Yeha, I Have had the phone a couple of weeks now, and I am having battery issues. Worse than I have ever had before.
I have flashed the ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544601
and I am using a combination of Set CPU for root users and Juice defender, which has some of the features you describe and more.
On a totally different note, is there a place where I can look up the means of a bunch of different TLA's and terms, these would be general ROM terms.... not just velocity/vivid/holiday. examples would be:
what does Deodexed mean?
what does Zipaligned?
what does MUU mean and stand for?
what does OTA mean and stand for?
what does CIQ mean and stand for and why would I want ot remove it?
Debloater, what does it debloater and why would I want to debloat?
if I find more, i'll ask. I am pretty technically minded so feel free to give me gory details. I just think it would help in my understanding of rooting and phones and what not what these terms and TLA's actually mean (TLA standards for Three Letter Acronym).
Thanks

Deodexed-Basically it just allows for customization of the roms like changing colors, etc.
Zipaligned-helps reduce ram being used when using an application.
RUU?-Basically firmware from the factory like htc will send out in a .exe file to make it easier to update software. Rom Update Utility
OTA-Over the air, type of update sent out to your phone from att, etc.
CIQ-Carrier IQ, way for att, etc to improve the phone by looking at certain data although it could also be used to "spy" on people and their activities which is why you don't want it. Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't contain it.
Debloat-Means to get rid of the carrier installed apps that you don't want. You can achieve this by rooting your phone and installing a custom rom or removing the apps yourself after rooting.
all-in-one root kit
First off I am a new user. Can someone please help me. I have gone through the HTC.Vivid.All-In-One\Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 and everything seemed to be working fine. I got the token ring, submitted it, and did the unlock bootloader. All i get now is an error message saying "cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin." Does anyone know what I can do to help me unlock my phone?
Just spent another hour trying to root, Started from scratch with the hansons all-in-one root kit and still cannot get passed step five. I tried to do it from the HTCdev site and the same thing. Has anyone got this to work with the HTC Vivid?
Are there any roms that utilize the 4G on the 4G touchpad yet? I've poked around and cannot find anything.
Crickets......
Anyone?
I wasn't even aware there was a 4g Touchpad. But I haven't read anything about any of the roms supporting it.
4G touchpad exists!
I hadn't heard of it either, but apparently some do exist! From a Business Insider 2011 article (can't post the link b/c I'm a newbie): HP's 4G TouchPad Sneaks On To Amazon For $700 Before The Official Launch
Would love to see this as well!!
Any thoughts on what needs to happen to make rom support of the 4G's cellular radio happen? It is such a waste of my 21MBps cellular radio on my Faux G Touchpad to not have this functionality enabled in Android. Having this functionality enabled would make this the best Android tablet on the market (IMHO).
Happy to make reasonable donation if that will help move the project forward.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

It would be right at or near the top if they turned on the GPS, 4G and fixed Wifi. My Transformer Prime is cool, but no 4G, and the GPS and Wifi antennas are a little flakey. BTW, I just tweeted the Rootzwiki team to see wassup on TP 4G.

ok so it shouldnt be the rom it should be how your telephony settings are configured for your carrier. I'm using cm9.0.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha2.
a nice easy way to get to these options that i prefer is by using elixr2 from the play store. here are some screen shots of what settings you can configure for your specific carrier. or you could always edit the properties

Are you saying that you have a 4G touchpad running CM9 and using its GSM radio?
I tried creating a profile. It will let me create and save all need attributes until the MCC and MNC. If I set those it will delete the saved profile.
I'm not getting it
Youre talking about when youre setting the APN values?

Yes. Here is the settings for AT&T: you can save profile until you set the MCC. Then the APN list is blank again.
AT&T:
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: [Leave Blank]
Port: [Leave Blank]
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: [Leave Blank]
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MMS Protocol: [Leave Blank]
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Ok thats because only system apps can change apn settings, if youre using elixr2 you have to convert it o a system app.

OK... I'm going to ask the questions again.
(saying it slowly) Has..... anyone.... got..... 4G..... working.... on.... their.... CM9 Alpha 2..... HP Touchpad..... yet....?
Pick one (Y for "Yes", or N for "no")
I appreciate theoretical settings. But until I see someone with it working (screen capture) tis another unicorn.
For any Sheldons out there that is sarcasm...
Given the rarity and cost of the 4g Touchpad, I'd guess your chances of seeing it working fully with Android as somewhere between None and Zero. All Touchpads have cameras, and there aren't working drivers for that, and I'd wager that's a bit more in demand.
It's a work:results thing. Best options are a) miracle, b) learn to write your own drivers for it.
The HP TouchPad 4G is very rare. So rare that I dont think they even released it like they did the WiFi version. I dont know whats more rare. The 4G version or the TouchPad Go. Chances of it working now are slim since no one really owns one. A lot of the developers are over on RootzWiki. Maybe try asking there. It could be something as easy as changing some code in some random file. But I wouldn't know. Good Luck.
There's nothing theoretical about having to have correct apn settings for your carrier. Its sorta important. Like it or not youre going to have to set them.

Does the phone need to be on to set them? I tried looking through the peep-hole on the back of the phone to see if they're set in there but I can;t see them. I guess I need glasses.
Haxin,
what carrier do you have on your 4g touchpad?
I just bought a new factory sealed HP Touchpad with 4g and wanted to know if anyone made any ROMs that enable the 4G. I've already checked at Root wiki and no mention of it.
Thanks in advance.
