[Q] TELUS 3G Sense3.5 ROMs - HTC Incredible S

Alright so I'm sure you've heard of it somewhere.
There is a huge TELUS 3G issue with 3.5Sense ROMs like Nik's or RCMIX3D (etcetc.) ROMs. The 3G does not work. Of course, from personal experience, I find that it technically does... in a way.
Turning on 3G under a TELUS carrier, you are able to go on the internet through a browser, but to connect through an app (Facebook / GMail / Tapatalk / Whatsapp, etc.) - it just does not work.
Strange isn't it?
To add onto that, even the browser internet is just way too slow.
I know that somewhere in Nik's thread, he posted up a fix for this - but even after flashing his fix, it still does not work.
I just thought I would address this because it seems to seldomly get addressed and yet so easily forgotten about.
Does anyone know why this might be? Or at least have an idea?

Sounds like you need to set up the Telus APN settings when you flash those ROMs.

Have you checked the APN data.
sp.telus.com -- smartphone
isp.telus.com -- modem
Shouldn't matter though... I was able to connect everywhere when I was with Koodo.

Mm no, I can safely say that my APN info is all correct and such.
I'm sure if more telus users can report and acknowledge this problem....

we are well aware that the problem exists
the point of the thread is to raise awareness so that a dev can perhaps come up with a solution.

Not sure what it is with TELUS, because TELUS and bell use the same signals. So bell uses should be experiencing the same problems.

I have similar issue.
3G doesn't work in Softbank(a carrier in Japan). Mobile Network can't be turned on.
I don't know this is the same issue as you.
But I think it is clear that all sense 3.5 ROMs have issue with 3G under some carriers.
I'm waiting for new base rom.

Weird, I wonder what the similarities between the carriers? (TELUS / SOFT)

So wait, HOW exactly do we use this? I don't think we can boot it into an emulator...I've tried loading ROM packages into the Android emulator (for personal use only), and haven't gotten anything other than the "stock" emulator image to appear...and yes I've read through the interwebs, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Trying to do it by summer, though.

I know, I just read that afterwards. Sadly...it'll prob get 2.3 though (after 6 months like every other HTC phone gets updated lol).
So couple of things. This download is hugh lol and has anyone tryed the radio in it yet just woundering if maybe we might see a chance of being able to access the lte network (wishfull thinking) if no one has do it by time i get home witch i will about 9pm i will do it well see what happens lol. other than that is it really gingerbread with sense.
No Gingerbread, it ships with 2.2 (I asked that question too lol).
And I think that the 4G radio is a hardware thing, not software . Good wishful thinking though XD
yea no joke but hey new radio no telling what good it could it do though.
True that. The Mecha doesn't only run on 4G, but 3G also, so it might up our data speeds. Theoretically. I mean, it kind of makes sense for that to be the case.

The radio.img controls much more than just 3G/4G. It controls other hardware in the device, and flasing a bad radio is the only (afaik) definitive way to turn your incredible (or any other device) into a shiny paperweight.
To use the 4G network, the phone would need LTE bands in addition to the CDMA bands, which the Incredible probably doesn't have.
I remember a few months ago, however, when someone found some 4G stuff in the Incredible system files. Something about it was supposed to go to Sprint but ended up going to Verizon at the last minute. So there could be a chance the Incredible has the capability to run on LTE, I guess.
I could be completely wrong, and it's mostly just speculation, but, yeah.

4g LTE requires a sim card

[Q] All I am looking for is WIFI HotSpot Enablement..

While I am not thrilled with the stock ROM, I do miss the WIFI HotSpot I was able to enable on my Tilt2. This allows me to use a tablet rather than a smartphone screen. Would someone out here please provide a simple workaround for this one feature. I'm willing to donate as well. While I was very comfortable with the Windows Mobile altering, I am android stupid, yet willing to learn.
This phone is really dragging without it.
Thanks.
You're not going to find much unless you switch to a custom ROM. The ATT stock ROM is designed to neuter tethering unless you have it on your plan; custom ROMs don't have that check built in.
Before you ask "how do I ____", go read the stickied superguide in the development forum and follow the instructions to the letter.
I understand your reply, here's what is puzzling me though. If I sign up with AT&T and have to toss my unlimited plan in the process, how do they enable the wifi hotspot option? OTA? If so, perhaps someone who has this option enabled would share their script with a Chef to see what is enabled and how? It has to be something on the device, not the server or tower with AT&T.
If you still have the tilt2, just put the vivid Sim card in the tilt.
The easiest solution is to just use a custom ROM, plain and simple.
I am using DarkRaider's custom ROM, and I still am coming up with an error - something about there being a "temporary network problem", and it won't let me enable the WiFi hotspot.
I'm not with AT&T, and WiFI Hotspot worked just fine with my HTC Aria... so now what?

could you tell me what exactly is your set up? i have actually tested that Rom, and i know that with the proper kernel combination you can make tether work,. almost all custom Roms that are base of of holiday, if matched with a good kernel, they are expected to work tether, wifi, ETC.
I've tried it with the following kernels:
- stock
- Holic
- Koz RC2
- Koz Beta 7
... all flashed through the DarkRaider installation process.
I get the above error when trying to use the WiFi Hotspot option built in. I have one APN put into the system, which worked with my HTC Aria using the built-in Hotspot option before...
I read somewhere that you can edit files using an SQL editor, but the post wasn't detailed enough...

i see,. which is interesting of ur set up is that u have actually added an APN setup to that rom... i though that that Rom had its own APN, and they worked pretty good when i tried it,.. anyway.. i am going to flash the rom tonight again and find out exactly how i did it... cuz i have had Tether work for me in that particular room.. and i want to share that with you guys,.
Illuminati Rom has working tether and there is nothing special or any work arounds to do. Just flash it and that's it, everything works. I cannot give you the link, you will have to Google it.

Is it Sense or non-Sense? I'd prefer a Sense ROM.
EDIT: Okay, looked into it a bit more... seems a bit "dated", and in fact I can't find a working link to download it.
I am a bit frustrated, as the DarkRaider ROM feature list says that Hotspot has been fixed... and yet I'm getting this error. I have a feeling it's a setting somewhere I have to edit, but no idea where to start looking without messing up WiFi totally, etc. I use WiFi Hotspot all the time though with my tablet and at work.

It is a Sense Rom and it is far from dated. The last update was a couple of days ago and there were actually 2 updates that day.
I don't know where you looked for it but you can only get it from the dev's website. You will have to register and have at least 10 posts to see the download links.

Just tried it for 20 minutes - found it slow to wake up, still had lots of AT&T apps I'll never use, and it's missing several tweaks the ROMs here have.
But the Hotspot worked.
Hmmm.
EDIT: I'm going back to DarkRaider and I'm going to work harder on getting it to work there. It's a superior ROM.

Just download a widget that shows signal strength until Hash can get it fixed. It was some code change with the Android 4.0.4 updates to CM9 and it affects all ICS builds but Hash doesn't have a GSM setup to test it so he hasn't been able to debug it.

Did hashcode remove his xt860 ics data patch from his site? I'd use that, it's the patch that says "xt860" at the top of blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/motorola-droid-3/cyanogenmod/ It works for every ics based rom I've tried it with. For apn settings you could try a custom apns-conf.xml with your bell and custom settings in it, couldn't you? The file is located in /system/etc/ and is easy to edit. I just put my custom apns-conf.xml on my sdcard and copy it over once after i flash, then if i have to wipe data etc there isnt any additional setup needed.

Imo better to have people using patches on the dev site/pointing out their there just incase functions/files etc change in the patch. May not be likely but ...
I'm running CM9 on my XT860 and it does work... that said, there are a few issues, it's ok for daily use for an avid early adopter such as myself, but not yet ready for prime time users.
Issues I'm battling right now:
- camera: if I switch to the front facing camera or the video camera, not only does the camera app crash, the only way to get it back at all (on the rear camera) is to reboot the phone.
- dialler: works... but as soon as you dial a number the dialler app exits, the call is still ongoing though but you have to re-open the dialler app to control it.
Everything else seems to work properly at the moment. (haven't tried bluetooth yet though)
Using my XT860 on TELUS in Canada.
I just replied to you in Hash's thread. Indeed you're using XT860 on Telus.
To solve the dialer problem you need V3 sim (newest) from Telus. 10 bucks and this nasty problem is gone. It prevents you from dialing thru conference bridges which I very often use and was very frustrated. Issue is in Motorola's baseband (radio firmware) and affects all roms including stock.

Well that is an odd issue indeed, I never would have linked that to the SIM card, but sure enough, that was it. Replaced the SIM with a v3 sim to solve.
Of course the down side is the SIM is $10, but the SIM doesn't do you any good unless they transfer your account to it which is another $25... (total $35) I got them to waive the cost of the SIM chip, but still had to pay activation.

They ripped you off. There is no fee for swapping the sim. You can do this yourself online from the self serve portal. All you need is to supply old sim number and the new one and you're done. No fee for that.

[Q] 4g/LTE/3G not working on Custom Roms

Hello XDA,
So I've purchased my 1st quad-core phone Saturday. I'm extremely happy about the phone's cosmetics and performance. Of course, being the flash-aholic that I am, I decided to beef it up!! After finially getting an AOSP rom that I felt comfortable with, I flashed and everything was great.... Until I noticed that my data stopped working. The funny thing is if I turn on airplane mode, make a call, or restart the phone the data comes on for about 2 minutes and then turns back off. After messing around with settings and such, I restored my stock rom. On the stock rom data works like it should. So I decided to try 2 other roms. One being GE and the other AOSP. Both are doing the same thing with data connectivity.
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? I looked through the Q&A's and I didn't find anything. Keep in mind that I am very experienced up to full development of rooting/flashing/customizing/etc
Thanks in Advanced!!!!!
Update: T-mobile is my service provider
*bump*
It's imperative that I find out if this is fixable or not as I will return the unit if it's not...
Apologies

Did you try updating the radio firmware to match the ROM that you were using? Did you try another Sense ROM to see if the issue wasn't an underlying setting from a GE or AOSP ROM? Did you flash a custom Kernel? Did you match the RILs? Lots of things that you could try to isolate the issue.

I use PA from the regular HTC One forum even though I'm on T-Mobile... It shouldn't matter, I still get the same speeds. Some different ROMs will use different names, like the aosp stuff uses 3g, H, H+ and LTE. In order to enable lte you have to go into the settings for mobile data, APN and then make sure it's the one that's like fast.tmo whatever. That's the LTE APN

Cdma only

Hey everyone, just was wondering if anyone else was having this issue where the phone won't connect on LTE mode on virgin mobile. Every so often I won't get any connection at all unless I set it to cdma only. I then need to go into dss and reset the connection.
I've tried multiplie roms, kernels, the universal apn fix etc.

It seems like you may have a weak signal to me. I don't think ROMs, kernels, or any fixes can help you in this matter. Does it happen everywhere you go or just in certain locations?
It happens everywhere, I was doing some digging online and it seems to be a fairly common issue. I tried multiple kernels etc because I noticed that it seemed to be better with different ones. Also sometimes, like now, my lte signal is great.
cant get LTE anywhere anytime
I have had this issue since I first flashed this phone back in December with CM11 I called virgin mobile back then and the told me that it wasn't my problem it was a issue they where having in my area so at the time I agreed with them and they even have me half off my bill $18 refund. Since then I have noticed that it wasn't them it was something caused by me flashing the phone. I've been on 5 different Roms and a few kernels nothing seems to change it but I'm not to concerned with it I still get great speed with it in 3g plus I'm on WiFi 18 hours a day so don't really effect me. BUT WHAT IS: I can't sent MMS messages or receive them right now I can't get the IP address etc for the network to work I tried flashing the VMU APN fix but when I did it caused WiFi not to be available (won't turn on) I'm currently on RaptorRomv2. Please if anyone could help with a solution that would be appreciated thanks.

Since then I have noticed that it wasn't them it was something caused by me flashing the phone. I've been on 5 different Roms and a few kernels nothing seems to change it but I'm not to concerned with it I still get great speed with it in 3g plus I'm on WiFi 18 hours a day so don't really effect me. BUT WHAT IS: I can't sent MMS messages or receive them right now I can't get the IP address etc for the network to work I tried flashing the VMU APN fix but when I did it caused WiFi not to be available (won't turn on) I'm currently on RaptorRomv2. Please if anyone could help with a solution that would be appreciated thanks.

Hello,
Are you on 1.48.652.2 or 1.47.652.1? I'm on Boost Mobile and I noticed the radio was updated on 1.48.652.2 from 1.46.40.1113_2 to 1.46.40.0721. I noticed I get better signal in my area with the new radio. LTE has never been a problem for me, but if you haven't upgraded, maybe this will help you.

That is the newest one, so I don't what to tell you. I have seen quite a bit of people on this forum with LTE/signal problems only with Virgin. I think it is on their side. It is weird, though, since they are a Sprint MVNO and no one on Boost is complaining of these problems.
So 1.46 is newer than 1.48 hows that make sense. I guess it does make Sense run huh lol

I think you misunderstand. 1.48.652.2 is the updated software/RUU that includes everything. 1.46.40.0721 is the updated radio for 1.48.652.2. The old software 1.47.652.1 had the old radio 1.46.40.1113_2. You can get the old software RUU and see if the radio works better for you. If it doesn't, Virgin has a problem that they have to fix.
Here's an update from me, I don't know what happened but I have not had the LTE/3G issue for a while now, pretty much sine the day after I posted this thread. On my end I am going to call this fixed. Only thing I can think is that the software did update from then till now so perhaps it fixed the issue.
