Hi guys, I started having issues with my SMS this morning. Now, I can't send messages reliably, I'm not sure if I'm receiving them properly now either. On top of that, I am was having issues with 3g, sometimes the icon would not appear at all, and others it would not load web pages or send data via internet enabled apps, i.e. facebook. I must stress that I did not change absolutely anything, and that it just started happening. could this be a flaw with cognition? or is it just AT&T being... well... AT&T?
I assume it's just AT&T being AT&T, I had issues with that exact scenario about a month ago. Cog is working fine for me, but you can always try to backup and re-flash and see if that helps.

If it persists I will re-flash... pain, but what ever. Any-who I'm about to get an inspire 4g anyways so meh.
Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. I tend to have one-in-6-billion luck like that.
Please post in the Cog sticky instead of creating new threads.
oh and for the record I'm running 3.04. Looking in to 4.1 anyways, wondering if I can update it without having to wipe everything. Can I restore apps + Data if I go from 3.04 to 4.1, or will that cause all sorts of hairy issues still?
No problem at all. Did you do your research around the forums and see all the reviews about the inspire not being all that it's cracked up to be? Not trying to sway your decision or anything, just making sure you know what you'll be getting into.

I don't think I wiped anything when I updated, but when I restored system apps with TiBu, I got some FC's when it came to a few of the system apps and data, don't recall which ones though.

I've been fiddling with it at the at&t store... I like it a lot but I'm looking in to the possibility of getting a different carrier's phone unlocked... I'll check out some of the discussion though. thanks
im not a big fan of how hard it is to remove the battery panel and the panel where the memory card would be at. but the phone looks nice. androidcentral has a video review about it
Alright,
First, Here is what im using currently:
My Own Rom
-Cooked with Dsixda's kitchen
-Based on rdannar's Barebones 10e froyo rom
-With my own custom bootanimation
-Go Launcher instead of SonyErricsson
-some various build.prop tweaks [hsupa cat.,lcd density(changing quite often so i can use a lower density and still use the market... ugh!)]
-And bedwa's thrillz v3 kernel cooked in
And my issue is:
At random times i will have a complete loss of service. Usually what happens is, im texting someone back and forth and when i go to text them back, my text wont send! so, i retry sending... doesnt work. Usually the only way i can make it work is to reboot, however a few times putting it into airplane mode and then back out has worked.
Now, i know what your thinking, its probably my rom... But i am fairly certain i had this issue when i was using just the barebones 10e rom, and i cant remeber exactly but i think i had the problem once back when i was on gtg465x's thriller v1.1.0 rom with my own OC kernel.
So, basically im just curious if anyone else has had this problem as well, or if anyone has a fix for me?
anybody who wants to post their:
-APN settings
-build.prop network categories
-and other build.prop settings
-or anything else
would be appreciated.
thanks
Had that problem
On every rom

Sounds like it could be many possible things... Myself I'm on Roadrunner and whatever beta kernel I'm tweaking with my Thrillz line (Currently on BetaV4.) and I haven't had any issues. Then again I'm not sending SMS/MMS. I do all of that through Google Voice as I have SMS blocked. (old UNL Data FTW)
Is it primarily when sending SMS or MMS?
Were you able to fix it ever rdannar?
I do a lot of texting so typically yeah it is when im using messaging but I'm pretty sure that a few of the times it has just been when trying to use the browser...
Usually happens once the screen has been off for a while, then I turn it on, try and use an app that uses data, and then it it just never connects... until I restart.

Another question is have you guys tried one of the 920h basebands as well. I have a signal drop on rare occasion, but nothing truly affecting service. It has to be one of 3 factors. Kernel, Baseband, Rom.
I have tried everything except 920h... people have always reported signal drop with this device. The hard part is it only uses hspa + so it doesn't usually catch 3g signals much.... at least that's what I've read about... try and take out hspa and network tweaks out of the build prop to see if that helps
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hspa+ is nothing more than a network improvement on UMTS (Standard 3G). It almost sounds like the radio.
Yeah I don't know why, but every custom rom I've tried on this phone has crap signal.

On the 14th (wednesday) im gonna start chasing down the cause of my signal problems using some of your suggestions. I have to take my finals and finish up some final papers then i'm going to dive back in to trying to help make the thrill awesome.

Good luck with finals and we'll be here
I think i figured it out!
So, finals went well... (i think), I still havent gotten my grades back...
But, i wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik. Then flashed the latest Doomed froyo w/ OC (thanks Urabewe) just to have a fresh start. Finally, i started playing with the build.prop network tweaks and almost everything i did had a negative effect on network speed and consistency of the connection. [also, im pretty sure the doomed build.prop did not include any of the common network speed tweaks, i.e. hsdpa cat, etc.]
So, in short, i am pretty sure the build.prop stuff was my problem.
However, i am going to continue testing various ro.ril build.prop tweaks and various apn settings; to hopefully find out what build.prop tweaks will have a negative effect and if any will have a positive effect, and what apn setup works best. I will post anything significant i discover in this thread...
Thanks for the build.prop suggestion, i had suspected that was my problem...
My girlfriends D3 has gradually been getting worse with poor reception, dropping calls, not being able to make/receive calls or texts.
Data seems to work fine. This weekend it just finally stopped being able to make calls or send texts from our home.
If i drive a few miles down the road or to a higher elevation i was barely able to call *228 to update roaming.
I can still use the browser over 3G and Wifi, just no tethering, phone or text.
The phone shows 3G and a full signal, but as soon as i initiate a call it drops to 1 bar.
Another thing we noticed this morning is that when calling the phone it goes straight to voicemail.
I had tried changing the Network mode from Global to CDMA yesterday and at one point got an error message saying "No CDMA networks were found. Would you like to switch to Global Mode?"
Phone has been rebooted and battery pulled along with some other diagnostic tests that the verizon techs did over the phone yesterday.
The only thing i had done to this phone was i applied the TBH tethering hack without root over a year ago. It worked fine up until now.
The phone has the latest System version 5.7.906.XT862 and the latest Baseband N_03.18.32P.
Im thinking of reverting the TBH Tethering hack back using the instructions in this post
I spoke to Verizon tech support yesterday and they said there was some trouble in our area, but my Droid X is still able to connect so i doubt thats the issue.
Does anyone think that an OTA update from Verizon may have screwed something up due to the TBH hack being applied?
The GF is frantic about getting her phone back. I can take out insurance for 6.99 pr/month and pay $100 to get her a new phone, but if reverting the TBH hack and maybe rooting and installing a new ROM might help, im all for it.
Any thoughts? ROM advice? Was reading up about the AOKP Build 40 ROM, but wondering if all the hoop jumping will help or if the D3 has a hardware issue that has just got progressively worse.
Wont you help a poor guy keep the peace with his lady please?
I don't think it's that. It's possible that the 3G in the area is good but 1x is crap. 3G is just used for data while calls/texts are used on 1x. What is the PRL versions your phone and her phone have?

My Droid X running on VXLR V2.2.0: PRL 53018
Her Droid 3 Stock w/TBH Tethering Hack: PRL 52996
Just tried updating them both and the PRL's stayed the same.
About an hour ago i was in the middle of backing up her phone and it started ringing. I was able to answer the call and now im able to make and receive texts and calls. There must have been a tower issue. The signal still drops to 2 bars when i initiate a call, but at least its working again.
She says its been flaky for quite a while with dropping calls and texts not getting sent. Im all backed up and was thinking of rooting and trying a ROM on this. Not sure if itll help with signal issues, dropped calls or texts not being sent or received.
She was also complaining about the thing pocket dialing, and other random stuff happening like her browser launching and texts being sent etc. I saw it this morning. I picked up her phone to bring it downstairs and saw that there was a text reply box open with a bunch of jibberish typed in it. She says that sort of thing happens all the time.
Think maybe a good stable ROM might help?
After a little more research i came across Minimoto here at XDA. Minimoto Link
Seems to be the way to go if im sticking to a GB ROM. I see you contributed some to it. Would you happen to know where some step by step instructions for getting it installed on a non rooted D3 might be?
1) Root it.
2) Install Safestrap 3.05.
3) Reboot to it, create ROM-Slot 1.
4) Factory reset and wipe cache and delvik.
5) Flash the ROM.
6) Set her up with goodness.
Though if random crap is popping up, I suspect the digitizer is flaky.

Have you heard of digitizer issues with D3's before?
Any recommendations on which rooting method to use?
Do i have to remove the TBH Tether hack before rooting, installing Safestrap or Flashing the ROM?
So i take it your in agreement that this would be a good choice for a stable no frills GB ROM?
the random stuff can be from from a bad digitizer, dirt/grime on digitizer/edge or a software conflict
try cleaning screen around the edge, and/or flash rom/sbf
you need to remove bootstrap before safestrap, tbh hack should be fine
i haven't use minmo, but many have, also you could look at

Thanks sd_shadow I think ill stick with minimo most likely. Too many dam ROMS to choose from!.
Ok so from the hours of reading i did yesterday, i found a working link for motofail. It appears it is the best (or only) way to root the D3 if on 906.
From there i thought i could just install Safestrap 3.05 which i managed to track down as well.
I never installed Bootstrap, so does this even apply? Is there a factory bootstrap included with the D3?
I believe i read that minimoto has its own tethering feature included. So are we sure i dont have to revert the TBH tethering hack?
Some great links in your signature by the way. If the digitizer keeps acting up, i may try replacing it. I did clean it last night and will see if things improve.

I think your the only person to say that for the d3 lol. Most of us are flash- a-holics and we love lots of roms to chose from.

Just install safestrap on your safe system after root don't worry about bootstrap.

No

No you do not have to undo the tether hack it is a hardwear hack not a software hack and will work on any rom no matter if the rom already has tethering in it.

Is anyone else that's running CM10.2 on Droid 4 having data connection issues? Have you fixed them? If so, how? Does the code need to bake a while longer before data starts working?
I'm running CM 10.22010831-NIGHTLY-maserati
WIFI is working, but I can't get data to work otherwise. I did a factory reset and started fresh. I've tried flashing the ROM and gapps package multiple times. I wiped cache and Dalvik. I tried repairing permissions.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Marty

I'm currently using CDMA_N_05.11.01P LTEDC_U_09.11.00.
Anyone have a link for a newer version or any idea how to get one?

Do u have the issue on stock rom slot? If so then take it back to stock with the latest utility floating around the forum. Check for system updates if there is one dl and install to make sure u have latest radio if problem persist then it's a Good possibility it's A coverage issue or hardware related problem..

Ok, here's where I'm at now.
I updated my stock rom. baseband is now at 5.25.00. Still won't work on CM10.2.
3g will work on my stock ROM, but not on CM.
I've screwed with the mobile network settings and I can't get any difference in results.
LTE works great with CM10.2, but as soon as I'm in 3g territory, I'm dead in the water. I can receive and place voice calls and I get text messages through the messaging app, but anything that requires an actual data connection, like google voice or the browser, it won't work.
Help!?
updated PRL, still no love.
In some versions i needed to add APN manually, then it would work. In earlier version i had the same problem that 3g would not work. Also problem with reception bars - it would always show like 1 bar or smth like this but would work just fine.

It already has several APNs set up. The one I have selected is: APN: vzwinternet, MCC:311, MNC:480. Most everything else isn't set.

Set adrift without data.
Day 10: I've run out of water. The sea gulls... they mock me... with their wings... and beaks... and of course their raucous calls. They are scheming against me. My only friend is the lone shark that circles me constantly. He's attentive like that. A bit forward though. Keeps trying to kiss me. I tell him "NO KISSES FOR YOU! Not until the second date."
Also, still no data.

First off, thanks for the chuckle
Secondly, you're getting no data at all? Are you on Verizon? If so, do you have LTE in your area? My personal experience has been LTE data is working fine but 3G has been REAL spotty. I did see dhacker on twitter post a new razr build with some 3G tweaks he was testing. So that is being worked on and should filter down to us when it does get figured out.

3G was working fine on 10.1, but is nonexistent on 10.2. It actually acts like it wants to connect to a roaming tower if I switch it to GSM, but it can only see it and won't pass traffic.
I could just go back to 10.1 or run stock, but my pigheadedness, that's a word now, won't allow it.
On the brighter side, I am learning a great deal more about my phone that I had previously known.
The problem seemed to rectify itself around the nightly build on 9-15 or 9-16.
I know I'm a bit late, but I always do the * # * # 4636 # * # * in dialer and I turn off the radio, set the radio to cdma/lte and turn it back on, usually it isn't letting all those other antennas run and it seems to pick 4G LTE faster in my experience.
I think it's a CM10.2 issue...
Hi, my friend with a Galaxy S3 is having the exact same data retention issues we are having on our Droid 4's, which makes me think this is a bug in CM10.2 on various devices more than an issue with our phones. I can get LTE data when I have service, but find that once I loose service, even for a moment, the phone then never re-connects to LTE again and just sits there with white bars instead. Toggling data or airplane mode seems to usually trick it into reconnecting to LTE, but it is becoming annoying to have to constantly check and toggle around to get data back. I've tried every nightly and the M1 and have found the issue remains through the 11/19 build. I've installed the ROM into slot1, I'm not sure if overwriting the stock ROM and using the stock slot with CM10.2 helps matters at all, has anyone had any experience with using CM10.2 in the stock slot instead of Sot 1?

It's all user preference. The most stable obviously is going to be a stock based rom like clean rom. If you want more tweaking options I like Chroma or Terminus(Both seem to be very stable). All those roms work with lte voice/data.
As long as you don't change your radio you should be good to go.

And use Verizon messages if you don't want to worry about MMS and Group messaging working properly. Plus you can text over WiFi.
Lightrom is nice, plus it has app opps. Aosip seems very stable as well, and of course you can never go wrong with Cleanrom.
Right now I'm using Meanpop and I like it.

I'm coming from Shamu where the author simply disappeared. I'll do a wipe clean but after installing chroma, is it okay to do a titanium restore of all apps and data or would that cause performance issues? Sort of a hassle to install every app from scratch

With user apps, yes. However it is always recommended to not restore system apps when switching ROMs.
one more - with shamu, i had a problem over the last week whenever i rebooted my phone or moved from wifi back to lte data and the phone would not be able to get onto the data or voice network. It'll simply say cellular network not available.
will moving rom's help this issue or do I need to update radios? So far, i'm using the radios that came with the phone from play store

i placed all the 4 files to install and it's been 30 mins but i still see the green circle and octagon on my screen. How long does the process usually take?
