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

Awesome, Its actually working. Thanks
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
Hi there,
There has been a lot of discussion about how to get the USA ATT version of the P925 Thrill4g up and running fully with 4g enabled and working.
I have upgraded my LG Thrill 4G from stock froyo direct from the AT&T store to Android Version: 2.3.5 with Baseband: L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00 showing Model Number: LG-P925g with Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 and Build Number GRJ90. I assure you, I am too stupid to make any of this up, so if you are interested in reading the easily enough accomplished, very descriptive method, read on.
After many a try due to the numerous blind alley posts and dead links, here are my findings:
Ingredients: Tip: Download and extract these BEFORE following the process:
The flashing tool that I found here
The flashing tool fixes 1 & 2 that I found here
The driver that I had to use (attched) named "LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe".zip
The rom/kdz that I found here
The program to root the rom that I found here
The cleanup program to remove the unwanted programs from the new rom that I found here
Fine Print:
1. Back Up Everything - This will wipe your phone, which isn't that big of a deal if your most important data is in the cloud with Google.
2. I created NOTHING. I just failed until I found exactly what works and could perform the tasks with relative ease, precision, and get reliable and predictable results. All the links and downloads here....please follow those links and give those people some love.
3. Yada Yada I take no responsibility if you roger your phone but good. I can help you, but I assure you, there are many other people here who are more experienced who would be happy to do that for you.
4. This post is intentionally verbose so that everyone can participate in unscrewing themselves from AT&T, please feel free to comment on your findings with this process.
5. Unless explicitly otherwise specified, run all programs as administrator, and, if you can, in XP SP2 compatibility mode.
(Relatively easy method): Read ALL instructions completely before proceeding.
A. Install Small Server And Modify It
I went here and followed the instructions - they are basic:
1. Download http://smallsrv.com/ - the latest version will do nicely
2. Install and Run program as an administrator (right click on program)
3. Go to Settings (right click on the top menu bar of the program)
4. Go to HTTP Settings
5. Change Port to 9002
6. Extract the Content of the zip file named "www.zip" into C:\shttps\www
7. Edit C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host in notepad and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com (click here for screenshots of all of this)
8. Save and close the file
B. Drivers, Parsers, and COM-Phone Connection
I followed the instructions here . Follow along!
1. Install Drivers (attached) and msxml.msi (found in the flashing tools you downloaded), then reboot your computer
2. Open Server Program, leave it running
3. Remove your phone battery
4. open your pc device manager (in control panel) and look at COM and PORT section
5. hold volume up button (only) and connect your mobile to pc through USB while pressing this button, and keep pressing until you see a new port has been added and installed in your COM and PORT section (about 15-20 sec), now you can release the button, be sure that port will stay apparent after releasing the button, or repeat this step (with longer press on volume up button)
6. At this point, you may/will need to point your COM/PORT (LGE MOBILE) to the newly install drivers (found at C:\Program Files\LG Electronics) so that the computer knows what device you just plugged in)
7. put your battery back and don't touch your phone again (edit: It took me a bit to get the COM/PORT to register, but when it does - LET GO OF THE VOLUME+ BUTTON. Alternatively you can, while holding the volume+ button, right click on the COM/PORT error you see and then start pointing the computer to the appropriate driver) Do not proceed until your computer recognizes the device. If you would like, you can map the PORT/COM to COM41 by clicking on ports, right click on the LGE USB, select properties, click on the tab port settings, click on advanced, change port to 41 and click ok
8. As an aside, you can also begin the flashing process below without completing the above steps by putting your device in debugging mode. That post is here but it did not work for me that way so I provided the instructions above for those of you who need a more certain method
C. Flash Phone
Open/unzip/extract the flashing tools to begin the flashing process with screenshots here
1. Install "B2CAppSetup.exe" and run LGMobile update - the ONLY error you should encounter is that LGMobile update can't find an internet connection. Good! The Server is working and LGMobile won't kill the update process.
2. Run as administrator "windows enabler.exe" and switch to the "ON" position( left click on icon in icon tray)
3. Your phone is already connected, so you need to Start "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe", select and browse to your v20c KDZ file.
Set options emeregency, 3gQCT as pictured and press "NORMAL WEB UPGRADE TEST"
4. On the next screen, hit upgrade start
5. On the pop-up, hit clear registry, other country in the dropdown, and your language of choice (presumably english) and select ok.
6. The program will start the official LG Flasher - have a 5 minute coffee break.
D.Clean Up
Your phone is now flashed.
1. Hit exit on the LG Flasher and unplug your phone.
2. Press and hold the 3D button and the Volume- (down) button, and the power button until you feel a vibration
3. Once the wipe screen comes up, go ahead and clear out everything one at a time (the volume keys are up and down and the 3d key is enter)
4. After that, select the reboot phone option
5. Reinstall SIM card and External SD
6. Power phone on
7. Skip or exit all prompts
8. Set phone in debugging mode (settings/applications/development/debugging)
9. Connect phone to computer - device manager should still be open - make sure it picks up the COM/PORT - you don't have to hold down any buttons
E. Root phone
We're getting close - almost there!
1. You downloaded Megatron from here - open run.bat
2. It will root your phone for you (one of the easiest steps ever) by pressing enter.
3. The phone will restart many times. When run.bat is all finished, it will ask you to press enter to exit - do not remove phone due to the next step - just press enter and the window will go away
F. Clean Up
Clean up Rogers Bloat referenced from post here
1. In the Remove Roggers File folder, click run.bat and make your selections
2. I chose 1 and 3 and leave the APN alone
3. Then, press 4 to reboot your phone
4. Finally, disconnect phone from computer
G. Enable Data Connection
Set your APN to enable data connection (you should already see 4g, but you won't yet have data or MMS
1. On your phone, go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks -> enable Data Enabled -> Access Point Names -> menu button -> New APN ->
2. Place these values in manually: excerpted from post here
Name: 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
MCC:310
MNC:410
Leave the rest of the fields blank
APN Type: leave blank
3. Save and Select APN
4. Reboot Phone
---At this point, you should be all finished with a working Gingerbread AT&T Thrill4G getting 4G on your phone, receiving MMS, etc. so go ahead and set up your google account and finish that pot of coffee.
I believe the last method for 4g works to get data enabled, but not at 4g speeds ( or at least their h+ speeds)
There's a method to update/replace the flex provider.HTML, I'm still not 100% clear on how to change that so i stuck to the method you laid out and have had no problems.
Besides, i keep my antenna on 2g mode only to save battery life, I'm on wifi at home and at work so i hardly have a need for their faux g.

Thank you! I had tried the modify flex.xml post and was met with force close errors. I experienced fauxG when I enabled flex as well. I know that it is different for everyone, so take this with a grain of salt, but my speeds were back to where they were out of the box when I followed this method. For me, that meant my speeds were doubled compared to when I used Flex.
As to the method to change flex.xml, I got a file explorer from the market specifically for rooted phones. Found the flex.xml file, edited the permissions and then edited the file per the post. Then I rebooted and lo and behold, it said 4g, but that was simply not the case in terms of the speeds I experienced.
The OP is a method for USA users that worked for me to get my full 4g working again. I also tested that with netspeed (i realize it is flawed, but that's what I use).

Ghosting is not a known issue on v20c. Can you specify?
A lot of people are experiencing ghost calls on v20c and I'm willing to bet that those who think they aren't don't realize when they do. I tried everything and still got ghost calls and missed texts. My wife would call my office and ask why I'm not answering my cell phone.
Oh yes. Durden - I remember your post. You are referencing, I believe

The majority of the complaints tend to center around using roms that were not in some way stock. This puts your phone out in stock Rogers, which I can't find any explicit issues with. I haven't put that in there because what you do with your phone after you flash is isn't covered in the post. I'm describing the method and providing the links, as stated in the OP.
The other type of complaint is from people using some form of 21. The posts I link to also have downgrade explanations. While there are several complaints, there are many happy folks. Here as well.
Interesting, thanks for the guide. I'll give this a try in a few days.
No problem. I posted this in general so everyone could take a look. I posted my findings in the OP - let us know yours so we can edit the guide for readability if need be.

I never rooted my phone or flashed anything but stock KDZs. No matter which one I tried I always got ghost calls. Most of the articles and public complaints come from others on stock GB especially since root for v20c has only been around for a week or so. This is a really good tutorial (albeit found a couple other places), it's what I did back when Rogers first released GB and I posted my own little tutorial. I honestly hope you guys don't miss any calls. I'm tempted to even try it again cause Froyo is slow as hell and freezes up on me a ton but at least I'm not missing any calls or texts. I would be very interested in hearing from all of you after several days. It seems like I went a couple weeks on Rogers GB before I realized how bad of an issue I was having.
BTW when you said "Hold Vol Down+3D+Power to get the recovery menu and wipe everything one by one" did you mean all of these?
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe cache partition and package recovery
clear nv dynamic partition
I have been running v20c for almost two weeks and can assure you I am not getting any ghosting. How do I know? I use youmail, and get e-mails when I miss calls and/or get voicemails. All the missed calls I see in youmail are also on my phone as missed calls-usually happening while I am asleep. Seems pretty solid. As for my APN, I only set mine up for data as I could care less about MMS. My APN setup is
Name-ATT HSDPA
APN-phone
The rest are left blank.
Speedtest.net app confirms my data speeds run comparable to my SGS2 Skyrocket speeds (to be fair, I live in an area with 3G, and no HSDPA or 4G LTE as of yet). So all in all, I am very pleased with the Rogers v20c on my AT&T LG Thrill. Lord knows AT&T is never going to get around to releasing an official GB for it. As far as official releases go, you are probably more likely to see ICS before GB. Although, both are probably just pipe dreams. Thank goodness for XDA devs.
I use youmail too. Sometimes the person calling me got my voicemail. Sometimes they got "the subscriber you are calling is unavailable"
Thanks for this writeup, I followed it to flash over the Rogers gingerbread from the European open one. The only thing I did different is use drivers from Adixtra's writeup for the KDZ, for some reason the ones you provided wouldn't recognize the phone correctly. All I can say is wow, I totally forgot how nice it is to have the 850 MHz band lol. I never get less than 3 bars now, while the European one I would barely get the 3G/4G signal most places and would be flaky even on the EDGE network. And just a note to all the people confused about the whole "4G" speeds thing on different basebands: The only thing different about the European baseband is that you lose the 850 MHz band. From my experience, it provided the same 3G/4G speeds whether I was on the North American baseband or the European one, the only difference was in the coverage. But losing the 850 MHz band sucks, that's the one that penetrates buildings better I think.
good news i got everything downloaded and ready to follow the next step and http://smallsrv.com/ is down. what now
Yes I did. @TylDurden Wipe them individually.

NP - that was a biggie for me too. I am glad you found a working driver. No one has really been able to isolate the ghosting issue, although it has been demonstrated that it is not a hardware issue. I would recommend using the driver provided to standardize the results of this writeup, though, for the others who are looking to give it a shot.

I am using Google Voice (free). I have used youmail in the past and it became apparent that if I wanted transcribed voicemail for free, I would need to go to Google. I really liked the youmail features though.
can i use v21D_00 instead of V20?
Hello everyone. As you may guess from the topic title, I'm having a rather serious issue - my Captivate is no longer connecting to 3G or even to Edge - though it connects to Wi-Fi just fine.
It all started about a week ago, but has since progressed to a frustrating degree.
Basically, I was running Cognition 3.03, and everything was going fine - and then after hitting Flight Mode, I couldn't reactivate my data connections. I'd reboot the phone, and I'd be able to connect for about a minute or so after booting, and then Flight Mode would re-enable by itself; needless to say, it was very frustrating.
After looking around the Internet for some help, I eventually flashed what I presume is supposedly a stock rom - specifically I897UCKB1 - and thus we get to my current issue - no 3G access at all, no Edge, though I can still make and receive calls and send and receive text messages.
I guess it should be mentioned that I've had the phone about a year and a half (got it in November 2010, and therefore not up for a new phone until then), and generally put it to heavy use data-wise.
I had read somewhere that it might be an issue with my SIM card, but switching SIM cards with my dad did not solve the problem at all.
Could it be a problem with the modem or whatever that connects with the 3G network?
Thanks for your help (and for reading all of that!)

It does sound like you're having a modem issue. The easiest way to correct this would be to go to the Modems thread at the top of the Development section and find a modem that works with your ROM (KB1). Flash that from recovery and see if it fixes it.
If not, you may need to flash back to stock and re-flash Cognition.
Also, check your apn settings. There's an option to reset to default. Try that.

Sorry it took so long to reply - my home Internet access is... not good, so I have to go into the public library to do anything for the time being.
Anyway, my phone was being unruly and wouldn't let me do anything last night after I downloaded the modem that's supposed to work with my ROM - I couldn't even root it for whatever reason. I'm in the middle of downloading the supposedly official stock Gingerbread ROM (KK4) and I'm going to try from there later tonight.

Unfortunately I don't see anything about that. I go Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Network, see Access Point Names, and it says it's empty and asks if I want to add an APN. I have no idea about what to do with that, so I'm not going to try right now.

once you Get to the screen asking if you want to add an apn, hit menu. One of the options should be reset to default. If you have no apn, that would explain why you have no 3g, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
When I go into Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks, it brings up a list of four items
-Use packet data (with the checkmark)
-Data roaming (with a checkmark, unchecked)
-Access Point Names
-Network Operators.
Clicking Access Point Names brings up a notification box APN Empty: Add an APN? Ok/Cancel. Hit OK, and it brings up a list of things for me to type in - hit menu and it only brings up Save and Discard. Hit Cancel, and it takes me back to the previously listed four items.
Clicking Network Operators shows Default Setup, but it's grayed out, and pressing the menu button does nothing.
Sorry for double post, but good news!
I flashed the 2.3.5 ROM I mentioned above, and it all works now!

[HELP] Wifi & Bluetooth gone, no longer functioning (Found BT AND Wifi MAC in CP!)
Just throwing this out there, I've actively used the hell out of my Thrill, and flashed it many times. However, the Bluetooth went out on AT&T's v20p, and Wifi went out after an OC'd crash. I was just wondering if there was some way to reset the chip itself as it seems the on/off for both do nothing, each stays permanently off now. I really want BT back, but I NEED Wifi back... Can somebody help?
I have flashed back to V20P in an effort to get both Wifi and BT working again, but still dead. I will sit on V20P for now, and hope things work eventually.
Trying to enable Wifi comes up with "Activity Wi-Fi settings (in application Settings) is not responding." leading me to believe that the hardware has to be fully reset.

I've tried V10K, V10D, V20A, V20P, V21D, and V21E, none of them restored the bluetooth (original issue), and so far V10K, V20P, and V21E have not restored the Wifi.
On V21E under settings, it's always showing as "Turning off..." under Wi-Fi. So it's definitely a hardware lockup. Is there anyway to do a full hardware reset on these things? I don't care about opening it, I'm not with AT&T anymore so the phone is mine, and frankly, I just want it to work.
I'm thinking of following some of the instructions for the lost IMEI, see if redoing the Communications Partition restores/fixes the BT and WiFi, I know stuff is getting corrupted when I crash while OC'd, and that's the only thing I haven't touched. I'll try it here tonight and see what I get. I still have both my WiFi and BT MAC addresses (WiFi stored in my router, BT in my computer when it was paired). So... I'll be trying that out soon as I get home today. Think it'll help?
So after fiddling around, I followed these steps from the reset your IMEI/SIM Unlock your phone thread, and started inspecting the CP payload that had to be flashed. I found a couple settings that I think people might find interesting:
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
At this point, in order to check your Bluetooth MAC address, type AT%BTAD, this should display a string of 12 hex characters. IF you need to change your BT mac (such as putting it back in like I had to), use AT%BTAD=123456ABCDEF where "123456ABCDEF" is your Bluetooth MAC address (I had mine saved in my computer).
For Wireless MAC address: AT%MAC, same thing if you need to change it AT%MAC=123456ABCDEF. So far this has NOT restored my Wifi or Bluetooth, however it MAY help others who have suffered this loss. You will only need the Flash driver from that thread and tutty, so download the IMEI tool package, but don't worry about the CP unless you absolutely need it. Also, this is great to replace those MAC addresses once you flash (as they're likely wiped with the entire CP wipe).
I'm requesting some assistance with getting my Wifi and Bluetooth operational again if possible, maybe it's kernel modules, I'm not 100% sure, however, in the debug menu (3845#*<MDLNM>#) there is logging options for certain sections of the system. I'll be more than happy to provide logs if requested, I just want my Wifi and BT back and I feel like I'm onto something maybe. Here's to hoping!

Also, this is great to replace those MAC addresses once you flash (as they're likely wiped with the entire CP wipe).
I'm requesting some assistance with getting my Wifi and Bluetooth operational again if possible, maybe it's kernel modules, I'm not 100% sure, however, in the debug menu (3845#*<MDLNM>#) there is logging options for certain sections of the system. I'll be more than happy to provide logs if requested, I just want my Wifi and BT back and I feel like I'm onto something maybe. Here's to hoping!

What ROM are you currently on? Baseband as well.

Currently running V21E baseband & Prometheus ROM v1.5, I've managed to make the phone stable again, however still no Wifi or BT. Inside CP, AT%IMEI, %BTAD, and %MAC show correct, thanks for the assist.
If I was on AT&T, this lack of Wifi would be absolute murder, but thankfully, T-Mo's got 5GB of 4G so I can still use my phone, just not half the apps (like Netflix (it checks Wifi status and locks up), or XBMC remote).

I would say that you should try going back to FroYo and checking those addresses again.

I've gone back to FroYo without any change to Wifi or Bluetooth, but I'll go back to V10K and check the CP again.

I'm thinking of following some of the instructions for the lost IMEI, see if redoing the Communications Partition restores/fixes the BT and WiFi, I know stuff is getting corrupted when I crash while OC'd, and that's the only thing I haven't touched. I'll try it here tonight and see what I get. I still have both my WiFi and BT MAC addresses (WiFi stored in my router, BT in my computer when it was paired). So... I'll be trying that out soon as I get home today. Think it'll help?
So after fiddling around, I followed these steps from the reset your IMEI/SIM Unlock your phone thread, and started inspecting the CP payload that had to be flashed. I found a couple settings that I think people might find interesting:
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
At this point, in order to check your Bluetooth MAC address, type AT%BTAD, this should display a string of 12 hex characters. IF you need to change your BT mac (such as putting it back in like I had to), use AT%BTAD=123456ABCDEF where "123456ABCDEF" is your Bluetooth MAC address (I had mine saved in my computer).

Please Explain Tutty. I get into the hidden screen and tried the download and nothing was downloaded, this is my first smartphone and do no that there is no MAC address for the bluetooth device. it is the only thing not working. Thanks in advance for the help.
Hello everybody on xda first post and it's a problem.
I've recently acquired a Samguns Galaxy S i9000B. First day trying it, everything went perfect, internet conection stable and without problems, everything else good too.
Today I encountered problems with the internet. I can no longar enter the store in my cellphone (Play store), in the internet browser (which is a default by movistar) I can only search for results in google, trying to connect to any other page returns the message "Couldn't connect to the server", whatsapp functions correctly oddly enough.
I have always been connected to the internet thorugh wi fi, which is broadcasted from my modem through a D-Link Dir 320 router, and I don't posses a multimedia plan, i.e. if I don't have access to Wi Fi I don't have acces to internet on my phone.
Lastly i must mention that I had a similar problem on my laptop, and it was solved by changing the MTU value on it.
I've tried the solutions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790974, however, I can't do what is proposed in the first post due to the fact that My cellphone doesnt have the folder pdp0 and, it doesnt recognize the commands ip link, ip link list or ip link set. I've yet to install Busybox, however if I input ip, a list of possible commands appears, being one of them link, but it doesn't work for me.
All other solutions have been tried, such as restarting cell phone, router, pc, etc. And turning off and on wi fi save energy, etc.
Thanks for your help before hand.

1) Try to toggle Airplane mode and restart phone after a battery Pull and power button press for a min
2) Try Menu>Settings>Application>Manage Applications
Press the Menu button, then Filter, then select Running
Scroll down the list and select Device management.
Under the Storage section, press the Clear data button.
Reboot phone
3) In recovery clear data, cache and dalvik cache
4) a factory reset using settings> privacy will be the final way to solve it (only do this when you have undone any lagfix you may have done FIRST)
If this did not do it, you have no option but to flash an I9000B Rom to resolve it

Thank you for your response.
I would actually like to try some stuff with the router, as it seems this is the root of the problem. A friend of mine came with a smartphone that can "lend" internet (not sure this is the right term). After connecting to the internet his phone was lending me i could enter the google play store, load wikipedia and other pages. So it seems to be the way i'm broadcasting my wi-fi.
Having said that, I'm not sure how to begin because if wi-fi works fine for the laptop, why would it run incorrectly for my Galaxy S? I'm not sure how to modify the router to provoke an imrpovement in the conecction.
Help please? Anyone has any ideas?

google your router brand name, and they will have instructions as to how you can reset your router as well as go into its setup menu by using your web browser
Well.. suprisingly now internet works.... However it was sort of magical.
I applied a factory reset to the router (the options are now similar to the ones I had before), and the internet on my phone had the same problems through all the afternoon... Now, 5 hours later... for no apparent reason (no modifications made)... everything is working fine. I ain't one to argue with a good thing... but I'm seriously in awe wondering how the hell it worked itself out without me doing anything.
Thanks for the help by the way.
If it helps anyone else, I did make one change, however i don't see how it influenced anything. I uninstalled all updates to the google play store (reverted it back to android market) as well as erased it's data and cache.
