3G - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just had a question about abuot the 3G on my Captivate. I downloaded the app APNdroid to disable data. It worked fairly well, but yesterday I tried enabling data and my 3G wouldn't come on (and still won't). Any input?

Call ATT and have them send a signal to your phone. I had that happen when I would use APNdroid and I don't use it anymore.

Not receiving any text messages

All, I'm rooted and ROMed using. Cubed's versions. But I am. Not receiving any text messages. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
I use go sms pro, and had frozen the stock messaging program. I can send, just not receive.
I defrosted the standard program to no avail.
Could it be a network problem?

Handcent can bypass to stock messenger. Pretty nice little fix. I'd guess freezing the stock app killed it?

Do not use *228 with this phone! It will fry the sim card!

Huh...interesting... if you have another phone, and access to ur account through vzw.com, activate the other phone for a lil, make sure all radios on the revo are on and reactivate the revo using the same method... ?

freezing the stock messaging apk will do that. the only one that bypasses that is handcent atm.
My suggestion would be to wipe data and cache from recovery and then reflash the decrap rom.
Yeah, that is what it was. Once i defrosted the stock messaging app I had no problems.

no 3g or internet on the phone

I have unlocked my captivate to use it in Europe but I am not able to get 3g or internet connection working. I am not sure if it's the unlock that I used ffrom the market or what. But what can I try to get these things working? I am on Andromeda 3 rom
Have you changed the baseband yet?

If you can get any type of cell signal it is unlocked. You probably don't have the apn set correctly

3G only mode

On the stock Rom how do I go about making the phone use 3g only, sometimes under heavy tethering it just switches to 1x and will stay that way unrolled I reboot.
I'd like to see it this would stop it from doing that.

It's either in *#*#INFO#*#* or ##DATA# I believe... But if you have your phone stuck on 3g only mode I'm almost positive you won't get any texts. Just a heads up

Its #$3282# then evdo settings and select hdr mode. And kyouko is right u won't be able to receive texts/calls but you can send them.

Also u could try switching roaming to sprint only mode under settings that should help the 1x issue

Facebook issues on BO?

I am wondering if anyone is having issues with any FB apps while running BO. Up until yesterday when I rooted my phone again I was using Friendcaster but now I can't access it via the app or even through my browser/dolphin. Is anyone having similar issues? The FB for Android app sucks since their updates so I don't use that one anymore.

there are many with fb issues.
Here is one that involves wifi.
I still can't connect on wifi with any fb type app
Fb is hit or miss for me.

I've come to the conclusion that FB only works on a 4g connection. It isn't a connection speed issue since wifi doesn't work. A poster in another thread says it also works when they're down to a 1x connection.
I found that if I am really close to my router then I could get on Facebook. Otherwise I have to go to 3g. it's pretty weird.
