I woke up this morning and checked the news widget and all of a sudden all my news was coming from the USA rather than the UK (where I live) like before?
Has anybody else come across this problem and know how to fix it?
I'm running a stock, unrooted nexus and have rebooted the phone but that didn't work, any ideas?
Once in a while my phone thinks I'm in Brazil and rebooting it didn't fix it either. It used to do it all the time the first week I had it, but now it doesn't do it very often.
Usually what fixes it for me is to go to weather settings in the settings menu, and uncheck "use my location". Then go back to the weather tab and refresh it. Finally go back and turn "use my location" back on, go back to the weather tab and let it refresh again.
If it's still showing the wrong location you can go the phone's main settings menu and select location & security. Then uncheck "use wireless networks" and "use gps satellites", then turn them back on, and it will usually refresh your location.
Another thing that changes the news is the locale... if you select English USA, you will get US-based news...
Thanks for the advice guys although nothing seems to change it no matter what settings I change and how many reboots I do!
Maybe I'll just remove it for a few days and go back to it later?
Same deal for me, (CM 5.0.4.1) locale is Australia, but it has turned to US, a load of people off another forum i frequent are reporting the same thing.

So, right now I am using the Axura RC1 CE (I will update later), but I have had the problem described in the topic on various other ROMs using the JK3 modem.
It works fine for a few days (time is random, I have not been able to manually reproduce the issue), then randomly I lose all reception. Switching to flight mode fails, it gives no error, it just does nothing, in the notification bar it just says (searching). I have to reboot the phone to get the phone functioning again.
Anyone else experiencing this on ATTs network, or if there is a fix, I spent the last hour searching and going through the various threads to no avail (or I just suck at searching)..
Did you try the Axura thread?

I'm having the same issue but I've tried Assonance as well and still get the random no service. Tried different i9000 modems as well--anyone know if its safe to use a captivate modem??? I'm guessing no but just want to know if anyone has tried it without borking the phone.

I'm having this same issue as well, that's why I've tried to stay away from the UGJK3 modem, however, it's seems every custom ROM is starting to use it
As far as using a captivate modem with an i9000 ROM, I've tried that also, while it didn't totally brick my phone, I did get random FCs. I've read that is a dangerous path to go down.
I feel the same way. I might try the CogKernel and see if that helps...
Please, please, PLEASE do not post these types of things in Development.

+1 Lets keep this forum area clean .. its just for development stuff guys.
I have had the same issue with all I9000 modems, the only fix that has worked for me is to enter the service menu and force WCDMA 850 Band only. Also, questions should be posted in the question forum.
[this thread is pretty relevant to development - considering the rom chefs are using this modem in their releases and it has a potential major flaw. if the mods find it better to be in Q&A, then please move it - otherwise, i think the right eyes will see it here]
yes, yes and yes!
ive been posting about it in the perception thread, but no one (save for 1 user) chimed in with the same issue.
we both noticed that we both have an issue where we will bounce from 3G to H and back fairly often. this leads me to believe that it could be part of the problem.
i just odin'ed back to stock because my phone isnt receiving incoming calls now.
what i had planned to do was flash the latest perception but use a different modem... but it seems like the only sensible modem is the JK3 (although there is word on the street a new one just leaked?). so that idea is kind of out.
someone here said they were going to try cogkernel2, but i was on setirons and cogkernel2 and it happened with both. it seems to be a modem issue.
i wanted to lock the phone to use 3G only to see if that would help, but no one shared a way how... but reading this post it seems i can do it from the service menu - though i dont know exactly what to set/change to keep it only on 3G. (any help would be great).
so i believe im going to flash perception 8 and see if i can lock it into 3g mode and go from there. this is getting pretty tiring. im hoping if a new modem releases that will help, but i honestly am not sure i can wait since it is making the phone unusable.
below are my posts from the perception thread on the issue.

i searched but did not find...
i see others have had issues with APN force closing. i do as well, but assuming that isnt a problem, i dont mind.
my issue is that after a certain period of time left asleep, my phone will completely fall off the network. changing flight and data mode dont work, nor help. a restart works. this has started a day or two ago, but was not an issue for the first week (give or take). if it is relevant, my network constantly swaps between H and 3G where i live.
i have not found a setting to force 3g (and disable hsdpa) as i figured it was the network hopping that was doing it. am i just missing that setting? anyone else with this issue? (again, i saw people with the apn force close but not complete loss of network unrelated to initial flash)
also, i think that each build should get its own thread. it is VERY difficult to find accurate information on the current build once a thread has 4 builds and 250 pages in it. even with search, it would still be a good idea.
thanks and thanks.

of note: going into wifi settings is also borked. it will eventually time out and FC. i also think that the times my phone has completely lost network and not reconnected have happened more often when charging. but that could be coincidence.

in relation to my post below yours, does locking the 850 band only force the phone to use only 3G, or is HSDPA/HSUPA still enabled but you found the 850 band to be more stable.
this is what my next attempt will be to get a solid platform going.
I've tried different modems other than jk3 and it doesn't fix the problem. Stinks that you've used Cogkernel2 and it doesn't help. I also tried the different band selection in service mode and it also hasn't help me (apparently this worked for some people). If you want to give it a shot do the following:
1. Dial *#0011#
2. menu button then soft back key
3. then phone control -> network control -> band selection
4. good luck!

ugh. that is disheartening. i will try the band lock, thanks.
can you confirm or deny that when you notice your phone goes completely out of service that it has been hopping between 3G and H? it would be interesting to see if we all have that issue as part of it.
also, fingers crossed for that supposed new modem.
/sigh
Yeah this really sucks because these roms are great with this one very big exception. I haven't noticed the hoping before I need to reboot. I have noticed that if I switch into airplane mode once I drop service I can't turn it off.
I had the same issues with Axura and Percetion. I found that switching my network control to WCDMA 1900 only pretty much fixed it. The only problem I had after was that any time I lost service naturally, ie, bad area, or shielded rooms, whenever I came back into a good service area I could never get a signal again. So I would have to reboot.
In the end, I'm back on Cog, 2.3b7 and no issues for about 14 hours now.

I was sent this by XDA user: coreless88 who asked me to post this in the dev section (he doesn't have enough posts yet).
** WARNING: I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PERSONALLY -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- KEEP A BACKUP HANDY **
** THIS ROM IS INSTALLED WITH SAFESTRAP BOOTSTRAP. DO NOT USE KOUSH'S BOOTSTRAP OR YOU WILL SOFTBRICK YOUR DEVICE **
I dabbled in files for some time, twaked the build.prop a little (added some generally known hacks into it for faster touch reaction, better HSPA reception etc.), and added some files .lib/.ro files from Droid 2 Global.
It all worked out nicely. However, as I cannot use a CDMA network (I live in Turkey, so I have only GSM access), I cannot guarantee this will work with CDMA too. I will appriciate it if someone can test it.
Also, Your GSM card will be recognized instantly, but you need to activate the 3G network form the settings, you will need to add your APN manually, atleast in my case I had to put my carriers APN into the list, so this might not be necessary."

Thanks for the help Hashcode!
I got my clearence to Dev forums, so I will try to contribute even more to this community =] .
First of all, as in my quote in the first post, I cannot guarantee this will work in CDMA network, Hashcode will inspect the files and try to integrate the GSM feature to his original release.
You can find a screenshot of my phone working under the GSM network and 3G enabled.
!!!However, just like any other custom rom, I cannot accept any responsibilities if this rom bricks your phone. !!!
For installing, just use Hashcode's safestrap, for the rest i think you know the drill.
BUGS:
Videos dont run,
Sound is low,
Bluetooth is broken,
Camera is broken,
Also be aware, notification and ringtone sounds are silent by default, you just need to go to settings menu and choose a ringtone for yourself =] .
Edit: Also as I have only 1 Droid 3 at the moment, I need as much testers as I can find for checking if this works for all Europe SIM Cards.
Referved for future use/updates/etc...
Awesome, very thanks to both Hascode and Coreless88
All work fine in france the signal bdm hspda is very good, than the xt883 rom. Exept the camera all work fine for me.
I'm test, if you want, all other release in france, on bouygues telecom.....
thank YOU !! Hashcode and Coreless88
No thank you guys, for trying it and giving me an easy breath as it is my very first development attempt!

Also I forgot to mention, my tweaks and Cyanogen codes makes GSM reception and HSDPA signal is much more improved than the stock XT862 Rom.
Right now bluetooth doesn't work, but GPU and CPU working properly, if not better than before.
Here are some more screenshots, for Quadrant, SpeedTest, and A Samurai Vengance 2 (BTW Game runs incredibly smooth).
one another bug, i'haven't delivery report on sms/mms, there's no sound in the build speaker when i phone or receive call, and the sound is very quiet in the speaker phone or handset.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your input. I need your opinions to make this better. So here we go,
All notifications and ringtones are silent by default.
You need to get to:
"settings>sounds>ring tone/notification tone" menus and choose your ringtones from there.
Sounds are in this built generally low, because there isn't any proper sound resources prepared with OMAP 4 series of SoC's. I will try to enhance them, but I will need time.
But you can make the phone louder on the speaker by going to:
settings>cyanogenmod settings>sound menu then choose the settings you like the most.

Hi,
I've added Tweaks for getting stronger reception, making the GSM default network at the boot, tweaks for faster response, etc... You can download the file and look at the system>build.prop (open it via wordpad if you are on windows) and compare it to Hashcode's build.prop.
BTW I am experimenting with audio and video files right now. Post I will post the results when I finish the testing.
Could I apply these build.prop changes my XT862 rom?
Or did you use droid 2 global hacks like someone tried before?

Why not, this is a free world, and as long as you know what you are doing you will be safe, but if you're not...
Be aware, "build.prop" is a very risky file to touch, and has a central role for the Android to run correctly. I had to use RSD to get back to original software because I stuck at the Motorola logo after some changes. So I took the hit for you allready =].
My advice, directly flash this rom and don't do any editing. Because I did not just edited the build.prop, also added several library files, done a lot of testing, finded new libraries or edited them to make it work.
It will include lots of time, effort, patience and hell of a risk.

Oh!
I completely misunderstand you, I thought you were asking about Hashcode's Cyanogen release. You cannot use these fixes for Motorola roms or any rom that based on a Motorola rom. These fixes and libraries are only for Cyanogen builds, at least thats what I think, as I don't have any development experience with any Motorola rom.
You may try, but that will only make the risk even bigger.
Please be patient, I am trying to fix camera and sound problems right now, and I will try to fix bluetooth in a later date, as I didn't see anyone using bluetooth for ages =] .
Giving this a whirl on my xt860 right now, will edit this post with results. Very nice fellas, thank you both very much! Just want to make sure, this is built for Hashcodes safestrap?

Yes, as I wrote elsewere looks like the wrong signal measurement is a purposely limit introduced by verizon request.
On D2g is the same, the Cyanogen rom, with the same radio have the correct measurement, the XT883 too.
So could be interesting to understand where that three bars are lost and if a quick fix for the stock ROMS could be possible.

Hi,
Your thanks are appriciated, and I am sorry for this rom also did not worked for your XT860 =/ . I guess Motorola did everything they possibly can to protect their region based software versions.
I guess the fix will be simple, but I am afraid either Canadian Android developers are rare (BTW I don't think so), or they don't want to develop for / they don't have this device.

Indeed, It seems low GSM signal was the goal for them. Either for the purpose of making the Verizon "look like" superior to European Networks, or just for making it a Verizon semi-exclusive and a pain in the ass for any other carrier.
The problem is the Verizon's firmware itself, for example, even the non-US devices (XT860, XT883... you name it) are listed by "cdma_solano" in the build.props, and while those files are filled with CDMA codes, there are hardly more than 6 lines of GSM related codes. So my simple tweaks does nothing to improve the signal (tested/proven).

Indeed this is the only reasonable explanation, the same behavior in five ROMs can't be a bug.

Maybe is omething hardcoded in the libril or whatever in the userland, surely is not the radio itself.
XT883 is not affected, so we should try to replace some piece to spot the culprit, BTW this process would be easier when the bootstrap will be fixed to work on XT883, (why doesn't work on that rom is a another nice mystery).
Indeed, a GSM ROM would be great
FYI, audio and video codec issues are being addressed in my next build of CM7.
I'm going to give the GSM ROM a test drive and see how the CDMA stuff is affected. As well as look at the differences by file.
Hopefully, i can incorporate coreless88's changes back into the main ROM so that we don't end up with 2 CM7 ROMs (CDMA and GSM).
Hi community,
I'm a long-time lurker but just until today had the need to join this great place and bother you with a question. I already used the search feature and even googled this problem, which didn't quite helped as I'm still clueless.
Last nite, I switched ROM on my Desire C after being a long time user of Revolution MOD (thanks to @russell664) because sudden reboots started to affect my pone almost daily.
So I went ahead and flashed MiniJBProject (thanks to @penguin449) following the right steps (clean flash), rebooting after install in order to get WiFi enabled and everything seemed to work well until this morning, when I went outside my house and noticed Mobile Data doesn't work. I tried re-flashing ROM, switching between NOPE (thanks to @me4488) and Prometheus (thanks to @nikhil16242) kernels and frequencies to no avail (my pone doesn't go beyond 750 MHz), cleared Dalvik cache, fixed permissions in CWM, nothing.
As I said, WiFi does work just fine but Mobile Data is just not sending/receiving, I'm able to move the slider ON/OFF but get same results.
Then I thought my pone didn't like this specific ROM so I then flashed Revolution JB (thanks to @addictz10) again through clean flash, rebooted to get WiFi, and so on. Nothing. Still the same.
I feel like probably the problem has to do with CM10, since I didn't experience this issues with any of the Revolution Series ROMS.
Any further info you might need to shed some light, please feel free to ask. I'd really appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I currently have Revolution JB in my pone.
I think you have to enter the apn settings for your carrier. Google for it. Go to settings, wireless and networks, mobile data, access point names, and enter your APN settings.

Most Roms will be able to use mobile data straight off the shelf if using a known, big carrier, for example T-Mobile, however if your using something more local, something not as well none, then you need to add the APN, if your on contract or PAYG with a different company that provides your network service, like TALKTALK uses vodafones, you need to add it otherwise it connects to vodafone, and uses vodafones APNs which, will not work.
Gotcha. Now I know for future ROMS. Thank you @penguin449 :thumbup:

I recently took the plunge and updated to Cloudyfa's CloudyG3 2.0+ Rom and it is super awesome. There is a HUGE General Discussion thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56644031
Here is the main Rom thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192
It is for all variants but it is a port of the GSM G3 rom. So some things aren't 100% on our VS980 roms. Just to be certain, everything is working for me but it takes a few tweaks, hence the point of this thread.
Here are the main issues off the top of my head:
Cellular doesn't work out of the box
You have to manually change it to LTE/CDMA. It took a few times to get this to work. I also use an app from the Play Store called "TellInfo" which lets you select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" (which seems to work best for me). You also have to go into Settings > Tethering & Networks > Mobile Networks and select "Data Enabled" and "Data Roaming". The Network mode that seems to work best is "Global" mode.
I would advise that you check with your data plans to make sure you aren't being charged a crazy amount of money to roam on other networks. At this point (I travel), I haven't racked up any additional charges.
MMS doesn't work with the stock Messaging App
This requires downloading Textra or Hangouts for SMS/MMS handling. I like Textra.
Verizon Visual Voicemail doesn't work
I get a really weird text message when I get a voicemail. I assume this is trying to communicate to the Verizon Voicemail app. It doesn't work. I have to resort in manually checking voicemail the old fashion way. I am looking for better options
Other random facts
The keyboard no longer has arrow keys in the nav bar when typing. I've read the G3 rom keyboard is supposed to let you swipe the spacebar for left/right movement... but it doesn't work nor do I see any options.
WiFi File Sharing is gone from the G2. The G3 took this feature out, which is really really sad. A good alternative is "Samba Filesharing". Same thing except can't be launched from the Notification Shade
Otherwise, the rom is beautiful and pretty. The Xposed G3 Tweaksbox has tons of options for some really neat features. Everything else works the same/better then stock G2 software. I don't know if I could go back to the stock G2 rom after using this for a few weeks. Outside of the small issues listed above (SMS/MMS being the only semi-big one) it works and looks so good that it is a keeper.
Any additional tips and tricks to making the CloudyG3 rom work better on our VS980 Verizon LG G2s, please share!

Although I appreciate the time you spent working this up for people, its in the wrong section.
This really should be in the Verizon specific General section (maybe q&a?)
Just to add on a bit. Any time I flash one of his ports, I just change the build prop.
I use ROM toolbox pro, light would work, but the app you really need (that's built into it) is root explorer.
I change the tele device to 10, country to US (make sure its caps) and carrier to vzw, and I never have an issue with LTE sticking or anything of the sort.
Obviously you would change the country if you don't live in the US.
I haven't done any of these changes and if seems fine...

Thats weird I've been running this rom on my vs980 for a few weeks now. Everything worked perfect for me without having to mess with any settings at all. Also messaging worked without a hitch. Only thing i noticed while driving was the signal would say roaming sometimes. A reboot would correct this issue. Think it has something to do with the 3g to 4g hand off.

If it is roaming that means you're in a 3g area
I tried this for awhile on more than one occasion and every time, my sms would eventually take hours or days to receive. It was maddening. Did not matter what app I used, fixed apn settings, tried everything. It would work for a day or two then messaging totally fell apart.

Are you actually roaming though? Or does it just say so?

Its cosmetic.
The reason it does it, is because the ROMs he builds are based off of international builds. So they don't cater to vs/ls980 as they use cdma
Edit: Same reason why the stock messengers won't send mms

Also, I just flashed the new cloudyg3 2.1, (I think?) and it looks like all the normal changes I make to the build prop are already done.
Country and tele device number.
I am having MTP issue. It refuses to go into MTP mode.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I put build.prop fix in and it did not make any difference.
Otherwise, it appear to be pretty good. But battery drain seem a bit higher than stock.

Great to hear..I'll note that the G3 tweaksbox has an option to kill the roaming icon and then you can use the Verizon icons..perfect.
Since flashing this last night I've had no troubles. GPS, LTE, MTP, everything is working...
"Verizon Visual Voicemail doesn't work
I get a really weird text message when I get a voicemail. I assume this is trying to communicate to the Verizon Voicemail app. It doesn't work. I have to resort in manually checking voicemail the old fashion way. I am looking for better options"
anyone solve this? Same problem for me with any custom rom.
Does anyone know how to get the automatic login working for the my verizon mobile app? I tried inatalling the verizon login from the play store and that didnt work, so I tried restoring a backup of the app from stock and that didnt work. I converted both to system apps and that didnt work either! ? Anyone please help its important that i get this working.

I gave up on VVM a while ago. Had to call Verizon and have them deactivate it. Now I just get a regular notification when I have a VM.
The only good alternative to actual VVM I've found is Google voice.
How does CloudyG3 perform compared to an AOSP rom on our G2? I'm running AICP right now and love the stock feel, but have some issues like GPS. Is the G3 UI that much better than AOSP?
com.android.phone keeps crashing on me.. basically making the phone useless on this rom. Anyone else have this issue? If so.. any luck fixing it?

Although I appreciate the time you spent working this up for people, its in the wrong section.
This really should be in the Verizon specific General section (maybe q&a?)

Well my intention was to put it in the VS980 General Section. Im not sure if it got moved or where it currently is, as I am on mobile.
I am running 2.0 and heard 2.1 has the phone force close that prevents usage. It appears some people experience this while others dont. Could depend on previous rom.
Im in no rush to update. I'll check out the build prop changes. I have root explorer. Although I thought that this was the purpose of the aroma installer.
I have selected the Verizon icon set in G3 Tweaksbox but still see the occasional Roaming icon. Not a big deal. Still works fine.

I had the same exact issue so I was forced to downgrade to 2.0, and the dev didn't really seem to know how to fix it, although 2.0 is truly great on the VS980. Would be great to be able to run 2.1, although I was able to get it to work as soon as I changed it from global mode to any other mode that started to crash.

2.1 worked fine for me no issue for two days. You either didn't clean flash, or did something wrong.

You tell me. It works fine.
You restoring system apps and or data?
Using xposed modules?
Flashing a different kernel?
Removing system apps?
Flashing any mods such as status bar with the ROM?
You check md5?
Using twrp 2.8.1?
