I just bought this phone off of a kid at school and I can't make or receive calls, so does anyone know how to fix this. Or what I would need to search because I couldn't find anything

first off dont do "that" you get in trouble real quick with so many dup-threads
if you know anything about flashing the radio, connect the phone to your computer and update the radio, read the wiki it should help
and btw this should work, let me know, i'm excited
My Att Tilt, seems to have problems with keeping the signal, Ej, im at my room, perfect signal, then suddenly, the signal goes away and never come back, till I push the reset button on the phone. The phone was windows 6.0, then I upgrade to a newer windows 6.0 , and then upgrade it to windows 6.1, but still the same problems
I download those upgrades at the HTC webpage, cause the ATT guy told me to do it...
Anything i can do?
If your phone attaches to a 3G signal and then none at all you need to warranty exchange it for a new one if possible. I spent months trying to find a fix for that and nothing ever worked on the 2 tilts that had the problem.

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Just a couple of small suggestions that may answer your questions.
When u got ur phone and opened the box somewhere in there you should have found the manual. It has great details on what the comm manager buttons do. Now it may not cover all the extra buttons that your cab installed but it will help. Read it.
Google is your friend. Where ever you got the cab file from should have told you who made it. Search on their nick and you should find details on the extra buttons.
....um....are you serious?

Okay, Less the Microsoft direct push, the touch pro manual would not say how these other buttons function. I only asked because it was on topic. why would beam be in my manual if my phone doesn’t have IR?
Second, if you don’t know the answers don’t say "google it" to feed your superiority trip. I’ve been googling it since the 90's. Ive tried googling "IP Phone" with the touch pro, and found dirt. Ive tried locating the original thread to ask the creator, and cant find it.
So...the manual wont help......Google has nothing....and I can’t find the original thread. So im left with my last option...
...Which is to post in a forum and risk getting chewed on by an ant with a big head (who most likely doesnt know the answers anyway) just to get some insight. Additionally, ive searched this site, and ppcgeeks aswell.
Sure i could have googled beam, but i thought i could get some quick answers all relating to the same subject.
"sure groper, Ip phone is for using your phone as a headset for skype on a pc. Beam is RF, which isnt on your phone. etc..."
"cool man, thanks for making my day easier"
Remember, forums are set up for information and help. I have legitimate questions that ive searched and still need answers. If you don’t want to help, then don’t bother posting.

5. Thats kind of self explanatory.
Got another question pertaining to your original questions? Ask, and I will try my best to answer them in this thread.

2 -> it switches between GSM und UMTS (3G)
3 -> same as Settings -> Connections -> Beam -> Receive all incoming beams.
I think it must be enabled to receive incoming bluetooth beams.

1. VOiP (Not for a headset for Skype but actual skype itself)
2. Verizon uses CDMA not 3g, so does not apply to you
3. works with lightsaber.cab and garagedooropener.cab
4. Verizon chokes chickens? Sounds like a personal issue. If it's that big of a deal I'd look into a proxy or something, not sure if that would help
5. If you needed Direct Push you would know the answer or have an IT guy to ask. Of which I are neither
Sandwich please!!!
On a sidenote, there are alot better comm managers out there might want to look into the Raphael CDMA threads for stuff that people use with Verizon and the Touch Pro. GSM devices such as ATT and Tmobile are different hardware wise then those of verizon and sprint(?) which use CDMA as radio frequencies. Hope this helps

So you got a cab from someone that you cannot trace. You then loaded it to your $1,000.00 phone without knowing what all the functions are.
Now you are giving me grief because I suggested (in an attempt to help you help yourself) that you google for the cab or the guy who made it as most of the software developers on XDA usually give information on what their software does.
Your response was pretty much what I expected and why I did not give you the direct answers. You want to be molly coddled and fed fairy floss, call HTC. They will at least pretend to give a ****.

I'm using RC3, too, but have a look at the screenshot.
I only touched "Beam"...
You can't receave files via Bluetooth if you disable Beam, don't know why this thing is still there, I think it comes from the times of IR.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone knows what "Remote Sim Mode" is on Captivate? I recently upgraded to Froyo from android 2.1. I noticed that whenever I turn on my "bluetooth" on my Captivate, the bluetooth icon will show up. If I push the "bluetooth" button again, a message will show up saying that "Remote Sim Mode Activated". I never seen this message on android 2.1.

But if you had done it 7 days, before this thread existed, it would not have brought you to this thread.
Google is the internet users best friend. A couple key strokes and some good know-how and you can find anything you want.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SEARCHING FOR REMOTE SIM MODE, THERE WASN'T A CLEAR SEARCH TERM BUT BROKE IT DOWN INTO SMALLER TERMS IN GOOGLE BEING "REMOTE SIM BLUETOOTH".
RESULT:
SIM Access Profile (SAP, SIM, rSAP)
This allows devices such as car phones with built in GSM transceivers to connect to a SIM card in a phone with Bluetooth, thus the car phone itself doesn't require a separate SIM card. This profile is also known as rSAP (remote-SIM-Access-Profile).

Saying "Google is your friend" is a failed attempt at saying "I Don't Know".
So please instead of acting like some prissy tech know it all, why not actually contribute something useful to the conversation instead of getting your jollies off by being a smart ass?
I mean not all of us are some lonely geek sitting in their parents basement getting off on some image board, spouting off memes like they are gospel...
It's people like you that make tech forums like this unbearable when it comes to the sharing of knowledge and information. At the very least if you were so wise and sage, you could have posted a link supplying the answer.
But no, you couldn't even take the time out of your busy trolling to even do that. You have to be all cute and cool and go "Google is your friend".
Yes, Google is our friend, it brought us to this place and met idiots such as yourself. Google is an infinitely better friend than you could ever hope to be.

Ouch, haha. A bit harsh maybe, but well said.
I also had less-than-stellar luck when googling "remote sim mode" when my phone decided to put itself there. Soooo don't hate on us just cause we come here hoping for a little bit more clearly stated answers. :-/
Thanks
It just really irks me because these forums exist for a reason. Yes, I will agree that most people don't take the time to look through the forums. But on the other hand, looking through hundreds of posts can be a bit daunting at times too especially if your a noob which can get discouraging.
It's a forum, not IRC. Instead of cluttering it up with nonsense and bickering... just give the answer or shut up...
Now... with that being said, this is what I have discovered: The Bluetooth remote sim mode has something to do with connecting to your cars Bluetooth receiver so that you can make phone calls from your car to your phone.
Why it automatically comes on after you turn off the Bluetooth radio via the drop down menu is beyond me.
So you open up the drop down menu and you push the module and it comes up with "Deactivate Remote SIM mode?" dialogue box.
Click Yes it ideally turns it off. Click No it cancels out of the dialogue box. Clicking yes however... doesn't seem to do anything anyways which is the problem we all seem to be running into.
So what do we do? Well we can reset our phones. Cognition v2.2Beta8 has a nice little reset option when you long hold down the lock button on the side.
Of course this gets kinda annoying every single time.
All is not lost though. What you can do is this: Go into Settings>Wireless and Network>Bluetooth settings and turn on/off Bluetooth from there.
If Bluetooth is off, you can just turn it on from the drop down menu. However if it is on and you want it off, I would suggest turning it off from the settings menu.
When you uncheck the green checkmark that says "Bluetooth", three things are going to happen. One, your going to turn off the Bluetooth Radio. Two, in the status bar there is going to be a message saying "Remote Sim Mode Activated". Three, and this is what we are trying to accomplish, a small dialogue box is going to pop up on the bottom saying "Remote Sim Mode Deactivated". This is essentially what we want to happen.
I don't know why it works this way. However I have noticed that there are a few quirks in the drop down menu from time to time. Perhaps this is just one of the more prevalent ones.
I hope this helped a bit. I'm not a developer or a programmer, just a modder who likes tweaking and likes to learn from the devs who take a lot of time and effort in to making our devices work better. I also hope that you don't mistake the inconsiderate, idiotic reply of "cappysw10" as the general attitude of people who post on this forum.
Most of the people here are pretty cool and are more than willing to help out
Good Luck and happy modding
I agree, these forums are getting hard to ask and get answers in withlut smart butt comments and flaming. Even when posted in the right place! Its getting out of control. : ( I dont post often, but read ALL the time. Some of us need REAL help. I actualy did Google this very remote sim trouble, found NO good help. Went back to stock. Waiting a real fix.
Little harsh but necessary I guess
I am reaaly not sure what remote similar implies is going on but if I turn my Bluetooth back on and the back off it deactivates
Captivate
Cog 2.2
mine acted stupid first time and has been shutting off appopriately since. It still pops up but cancels itself. CoG 9

Hey thanks! Googled remote sim first thing, found out what it was and that it doesn't apply to me. Came to this forum to find an answer and YOU PROVIDED ONE YAY! Not necessarily happy with how the drop-down reacts but knowing how to avoid that annoying message is VERY USEFUL! And I only had to wade through a few message to find your answer! DOUBLE YAY!!
hey all thanks for the thanks! I'm glad that I was able to help a bit with a few observations.
Just a few more before I go, It would seem to me that the entire notifications drop down menu is buggy.
For me, none of the buttons work as they should whether it be WiFi, bluetooth, etc...
Just about all of those functions have to be set in the settings dialogue that I mentioned about before.
I haven't update Cognition in a month now, so he might have gotten to fixing it by now, I cannot say.

Thank you. Best one-liner in a while. I also agree that if a question is asked and your response isn't toward answering the question it's fruitless.
Either answer or don't. I respect either but the taking up of space that doesn't contribute to the solution is useless.
(Much like my response. )
Hope this helps
Idk what causes this or why or how to fix it, BUT if you just turn the bluetooth back on and then off again it deactivates the remote sim. You don't have to do it through the settings, you can use the drop down menu or if u have the control panel widget you can use that. Just on and then off again. Hopefully this will get fix cuz it is annoying to have to push the button two extra times.
wow

Remote Sim Mode
I guess no one actually found out what this is. Just a question did you have your bluetooth connected to your cars bluetooth handsfree? I know I have a handsfree in my car built in, from what I've read on wikipedia it has something to do with the car having a remote connection through the sim card in the phone. Maybe if your phone has the bluetooth on it still has a paired setting for your car and turning it off calls up this remote sim mode thing to show up. I don't know but I believe this is what causes this. When you turn it off and turn it back on it doesn't appear again after you turn the bluetooth back on. I've noticed this only if I connect with the car and turn the bluetooth off on the phone.

Did you not read the thread? It was answered in post #8.
Also it doesn't matter if the phone is synced to your cars handsfree or not. My phone does it when its connected to my car, not connected to my car, sending a file over Bluetooth, really anytime I toggle BT on and off. Its impartial to the situation in which Bluetooth is activated.
Sent from my Captivate
I really like the phone, build quality and also the speed of the phone, multitasking is made so easy and smooth.
But there are 2 main things that annoys me: When enabling "Mobile data" I get a warning about extra charges. And secondly the speakers, very timid when driving on the motorways whilst using sat nav (Waze).
My question is, what are the best fixes for the above? Custom ROM? If so, which one? I see two Rom threads that has high views, but I dont think there are any screenshots of how the Rom it self looks, im using to the S3 section, where devs post up SS's of the Roms in action.
As for the speakers, I have seen an audio fix named Acid, will this a good idea?
2nd to last, mobile data warning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393284&page=3 - I see that the last post was about the fix not working? Any other solutions?
Lastly, Rooting, which is the best/easiest method to use?
Sorry for all the questions, I will generally youtube up vids on how to do thing, but there isnt many vids regarding the Z1.
Thanks guys.
1) when you get the mobile data warning, just tick the "do not show this again"
2) I find sound ok, when connecting to bluetooth speakers ensure you crank the volume back up to max
3) As for rooting, there are several guides to do it. So just a few of the sticky threads in the general and dev section.

hmm, once you have rooted you can stop the warning anyway.
But you should get the option to stop it. Are you on contract or pay as you go? Which FW are you on?
