Help with rooted Cellular South hero - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i rooted my Cellular South Hero about 3 weeks ago and installed fresh rom 2.0d now today it wont stop roaming and i have no EvDo. can someone help?

That is a Sprint Leak based rom. That means it doesn't play nice with non-sprint heroes. Check this rom out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658755&highlight=bittersweet

DamageControl will work as well, just remember to go edit the DSA server URL to something like "https://"
Just dial ##3282#, hit Edit Mode, enter 000000, hit Data Profile, and it's at the bottom.

EVDO Problems

I have Damagecontrol V0.9999 installed and data network works great with me but when ever i flash any other rom it stops working and says that service is unavailable. It just starts for first minute when new ROM boots up and then nothing. Not even the icon comes on top
baseband is 2.41.05.02.03
software is 2.26.605.2
Any ideas guys..
Guys please help...
I checked and found out that Version 2.1 works fine on my Phone but 2.1 Update 1 doesnt work. Which may have caused this problems. Any Suggestions..
Not sure I can help much. I'm not with sprint so I'm not real familiar with their settings. I'm Making the Assumption you are. If not let us know what carrier you are with.
Are you able to update your profile from settings >About Phone >Network >Update Profile?
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?
It could Be PRI related check it in Settings >About Phone >Software Information and report back with what version you have.
Get that info and note anything else the you think may be relevant ad we'll go from there.
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I am with Reliance CDMA Network in India.
There is no Update Profile setting here >About Phone >Network >Update Profile
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?..It says Disconnected because service is unavailable. When i reboot my Device. The 3G ICON comes for a minute or 2 and goes away.
PRI Version is 1.70 in working and 1.70_003 in not working
It also could be an issue with flashing Sprint roms. You might try the bitter sweet Rom.
Do you know if it works in the few moments that comes up. I had reset my PRI and lost my EVDO but it would not work at all, the mobile network would just say turning on all the time and the phone would get hot.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below
Security Section
HDR AN Auth User ID
(LONG)
[email protected]
HDR AN Auth Password ID
xxxx
PPP User ID
[email protected]
PPP Password

M.IP Default Profile Section

[email protected]
The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.
If all this compare and are all good I guess it is possible it could be hardware related. Good luck
But it works with Darkchoid and Damage Control V0.9999 but not other roms. Do these setting changes with ROMS
Mine did that. I put in airplane mode and back to normal and it restarted the data service and now it works

I tried on every ROM. Only Damagecontrol 0.99999 works and darchdroid all evrsions work..
guys plz help
Try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and go into "Phone Info". Hit the menu button then "More". There should be an option there to enable data connection. Also, did you make sure that Sprint DSA is disabled?
I am having similar issue but I have no internet at all . Just got a replacement phone today from nTelos . Got home , created goldcard and ruu to sprint . Rooted the phone and now the Evdo is not working ? I can make calls and receive and all that , however, no internet ??
I went ahead flashed Fresh Toast v2.1 and matching radio but still nothing ?? Any ideas ??

Can't find 3G network

I need a little help. I'm making the jump from unlocked iphones to the Nexus One and have a newly acquired nexus one that has already been rooted and set with the 2.2 Froyo rom, and what I am told is the most popular Cyanogen HTC rom. The 2.2 Froyo rom seems to work perfectly, but my preference is the HTC ROM listed under my back up as BOS-20100531-0408. When I am running this ROM, I am unable to connect to 3G, or edge for that matter. (wifi connects fine) I have attempted the simple steps of dialing *#*#4636#*#* and changing the setting from WCDMA preferred to WCDMA Only, but this has had no effect. I lose signal for a second, then my bars come back, but no 3G and no edge. I am certain this is a T-Mobile model Nexus and I have the appropriate internet package as well. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
update: The 3G works fine under Froyo, just not the HTC incase that wasn't clear. Thank you.
You need to enter your APN settings on the HTC ROM.
Okay, I have gone into settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, Access Point Names, and the screen is an empty black. How do I add an APN? Is this the appropriate location? Thank you for your help.
3G issues
Okay, so I went into the APN blank screen, selected the menu on the phone and added the APN info I found on a website after a quick google search. I was going to post the link here, but I am apparently restricted from doing so because I am new. Now I have an H with arrows under it next to my service bars. Is this the same as 3G? I am unfamiliar with the H with arrows under it, but it seems pretty quick. I believe there is another page on xda that states it is as good, or better than 3G, is this correct? Thanks again.

Huawei S7 -104 Working with 3G on Straight Talk

Ok, So I'm giving back to the forum...
Here goes,
As one knows, you must have a straight talk sims card already working with the proper phone Device, (Please see other forums to see which 3 models qualify E5 nokia 6790, E71)
Turn on S7 with sims card in the proper way.
hit settings
wireless and networks
mobile networks
Then go to Access Point Names
create a new access point name (Call it what ever you want, I called it Straight Talk)
Name Straight Talk
APN att.mvno
leave all the following blank or not set till you get to mmsc
MMSC put in the http colon forward slash forward slash mmsc.cingular.com
forum will not let me put it in properly as I am a new poster
mms proxy proxy.mvno,tracfone.com
MMS port 80
MCC 310
Authentication type None
APN Type Not Set
After you put in your settings, Hit the menu button then save it.
it will not save with out a sims card in it, most likely a working one!
Go to Network Mode
network mode and Select GSM/ WCDMA Auto
then hit button GSM/UMTS OPTIONS
Make sure once it is saved, you go back to the apns page on your device and hit the new apn Straight Talk and make sure it has a green light...
You will also have to go to network operators and search networks for provider att.
Go back to apn page and make sure the Straight talk apn you just created is light Green. once that is the case, return to home screen and watch you signal and turn to 3g or H with up and down arrows...
You may have to reboot your phone for settings to take place...
I am not an expert by any means...
But I figured this out and know others want to know...
I also rooted my device using z4root
and updated it to android v 2.2.2 kernel 2.6.32.9 Ideos
also installed flash 10.1
(Please do not ask me how I did the last part of rooting and firmware update,
huawei-ideos-s7-android-2-2-2-rom-installations-guide search for it
INSTALLED NO FRILLS CPU APP over clocked device to 998 mhz
I'm not in love with this device, but honestly, it is a good unlocked large tablet phone with pretty fast web browsing. It will also do Tethering via wifi I tested this to, works excellent, but most likely need to root and update firmware, I did not test this with the old firmware, and flash player works too once installed...
look for it via google or howard forums
I believe it will show att 2g select that and it will register....
I hope this helps some of you out there...
good luck,

[Q] Droid 3 xt862 mms/wap settings on Alltel

I've got an xt862 activated on Alltel but am unable to get mms/web configured and working. It does work on web when connected to Wifi but of course if I'm going to use this device I need mobile web. It works for talk and text but no mms and no web.
I had to manually put in the MDN/MIN in order to get my number programmed. I am in one of the few areas where Verizon and Alltel are supposedly separate. After manually programming MDN then *228 would dial to Alltel prompt as opposed to VZW's prompt before I programmed manually. The phone seems to have the vzw stock rom.
I am switching from a Motorola a854 (defective screen). I copied any programming settings from the a854 to xt862 that I could, even if they weren't necessary(IMSI, country code, etc). I did an APN Backup and Restore from my old device to the new one, and also tried an APN Backup found online supposedly for Alltel devices.
Sorry for the noob post but I've searched multiple forums in an attempt to get any resolution to this issue and wanted to avoid creating my own thread.
Any assistance would be appreciated, I do not foresee any world traveling in my future so standard CDMA connectivity is all I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance and sorry for long post, tried to be brief while remaining thorough.
huhu, if the apn restore worked u maybe just need to tick the checkbox
to activate the apn
settings->wireless & networks->mobile networks->access point names
if there is no entry u have to add the APN manually

Thanks for assistance, but I'm with Alltel (CDMA) and this device only allows selecting APNs in GSM Settings. When I Change Network Mode from CDMA to GSM or Global it will then show no service alltogether. I'm still trying, I feel if I could get the proper APN then I would be ok but I'm not sure. Thanks

Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution

Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution
I recently got my XT894, Droid 4 in the mail, and hooked it up to Rogers Wireless in Canada.
When I was receiving phone calls, the built in dialer would tell me that "Pay Phone" is calling, the solution to contact the Rogers Customer Care, and have them remove the "Name Display" option.
Rogers has 2 services for call display:
Name Display (which does a phonebook lookup from Roger's Side)
Call Display (the number of the dialer who is trying to dial you)
Most motorola radios don't actually support these 2 features together, so Blur reads it as "Pay Phone". After contacting Customer Service, have them remove ONLY "Name Display". I restarted my phone then everything started working properly again.
I hope this helps someone!
First off, I wanted to say that I'm on the leak 6.16.206
I also got mobile hotspot working on Rogers (this solution may apply to other rooted users running on different providers).
I added the APN settings as defined originally here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20366961&postcount=2
Name: Rogers Tethering
APN: isp.apn
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: dun
otherwise, any other fields are showing as <not set> OR None
When I tried to add dun to the apn type, the moto UI told me only providers could add DUN types, so I went into SQLite Editor -> Phone/Messaging Storage -> telephony.db -> carriers -> Located the last APN which I added manually, scrolled over to "type" then long pressed that field, chose "edit field" and added dun. Once completed, I restarted my phone. I now have the stock mobile hotspot app working (I had to also disable the entitlement check earlier) on Rogers!
Now wait, you got a Droid 4 working on Rogers????

Yup, no LTE though, just GSM HSPA
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
I can confirm that the Droid 4 works on Rogers. Took a week of fiddling, but it works.
Received the Droid 4 with 2.3.4 installed. Did the over-the-air updates to 4.0.4. Rooted it, installed SafeStrap 3, and installed Olegfusion's CM10/JB ROM (4.1.2), and was off to the races. Shows "E", "3G", and "H" when accessing the Internet.
have you ever try with stock kernel?
I wonder not to update to CM10 right now. I have a problem, it seems to connect, 3G/H letter, bu no tranmition. I have an old jaj, Droid3 working perfectly with same APN records.
Any thing that could help me??

LTE on this phone is not compatible with the Rogers network. If you want a Rogers LTE phone, pickup the Motorola RAZR HD. The phone will operate on 3G or 3.5G, although we in Canada consider HSPA+ to be "4G".
LTE can give you rates of up to 100mbps usually gives you about 25-30mbps
HSPA+ can give you rates up to 12-15mbps I usually get 4-5mbps
I hope that helps!
how hard is it to get Droid 4 to work with Canada (Rogers)?
Do u have to have unlock it and then update to ICS, and then you're all set?

The phone comes unlocked, you just have to load up ICS and throw on the Rogers APN (rogers-core-appl1.apn) and you're good. If you want to do some of the advanced features like setting up wireless tethering and stuff along those lines, you'll need root. I created a full Rogers how-to on droidforums.net, you can view it here :

so you're saying that all droid 4 are already unlocked?
Yes. They are still blocked against US GSM carriers but will work fine everywhere else, no locks.

Maybe someone can help me, I'm on Rogers. I have this same issue on Stock ICS .217 and on CM10. I can make phone calls and send text messages, but I cannot receive either. When I put my sim card in to another phone, I start getting my text messages. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Have you tried another SIM card in your phone? Sounds like you have something wired. I would also check to make sure you are in global mode on the phone.

eBay, yes.I got mine as "bad ESN" from a liquidator, it was quite a good deal. Obviously, by now you can find clean ESN versions for below $250.
Anyways, I am on Koodo/Telus. Under Mobile Networks Settings / Network Mode set GSM/UMTS and Select Network must be UTMS only, the default finds GSM which is weird because Telus AFAIK does not even have a GSM network! It has CDMA, HSPA+, LTE even iDEN but not GSM. Before I forced UMTS, phone calls worked more or less but mobile data rarely. Since I forced UMTS I get mobile data everywhere, inside buildings, all that -- I had lots of reception problems with Wind Mobile, Telus is infinitely better.
Terrible Reception on Telus (stock 217, -100dBm)

I went through the process today and got my stock Verizon 217 Droid 4 working on Telus. I verified the Telus APN settings, went through forcing GSM/UMTS and UMTS-only mode, but still have terrible reception: 1-2 bars, -100dbM. Any thoughts for getting better signal?
[SOLVED] DROID 4 Canada SMS/voice only, no data on Rogers/Fido - help!
SOLVED! see below.
Droid 4 from Ebay, $135 or something + shipping. Replacing my string of bad luck with i927's from smartphone_wholesale (aka Cell Phone Forever) on ebay (tho the 1st one they sent was great til i lost it).
SMS/Voice is fine but cannot do any cell data on it. Following all settings on fido's site for APNs the fido-core-appl1.apn doesnt work. Had to manually put it in (APN list was blank). Tried my wife's Roger's sim, it populated the APN list itself (4 of them, all combos of internet w or w/o MMS, and rogers +/- 'internet' in the name). None of them work either (they match what's in the fora here and on the rogers site, rogers-core-appl1.apn etc).
Im a bit of a newb: is my phone not unlocked properly or something? What gives? Radio is set to global or GSM/UMTS (CDMA doenst work of course). What's the solution here?
System version: 98.72.18.XT894.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: CMDA_N_05.25.00R LTEDC_UI_09.1D.00
Kernel: 3.0.8-g473e586
Build #: 9.8.20-72_VZW-18 Feb 8 13:11:57 2013
yes mobile data is on (and roaming set to yes but phone states it's not roaming now)
every time i've added apn's and saved i've rebooted (and rebooted twice with wife's SIM in too, in case settings had to go sim -> phone + reboot, etc). No luck any way ive tried.
Thanks for help.
[UPDATE]
belay that request cadet!
Ok I just removed the wife's sim and put mine in, rebooted, and this sim (fido) doesnt populate the APN list. I was in the middle of inputting settings for it, hadn't finished and a buncha text+ came in and wifi is off (I saw I was on Edge, big blue E on status bar). Then before I could even react I had hit save, and data turned off.
Yep, removing "internet" from the APN 'type' works fine. Leave it blank.
W t f. Maybe someone can explain that shiz to me.
