Cell South Diamond android data prob.

my phone boots and runs android beautifully but my data connection does not work at all
also my wifi is not working.
anytips?

I have the same Problem
I have the same problem. I found a Link to android where the wifi is working
1111www mega up load. com/?d=Y1VDY673 (without spaces and without the ones)
Let me know when you get data to work. thanks

thanks that link is SUPER slow on my comp, but imma let it go
i have no idea how to get data, i think it is a problem with the apn settings and i cannot find any of that information for cellular south

does anybody hav access to cell south apn data, i think that may be wats wrong because the fone says it has "3G" and the up arrow flashes but the down does not and it goes no where

Phone Number is #777
User Name: [email protected]
This user name is usually the same as your phone number.
PassWord: (ESN Hex number in all caps)
Note: ESN = MEID for CSouth Touch Diamond. You can find it behind the battery.
That's the settings for setting up in WM. I'm currently trying to figure out Android myself. I'll post my results.
Edit: Alright, I figured it out.
Create a new APN with the home key.
In server, put #777. The rest is the above information.

did that fix work?

ok this still did nothing for my diamond, what build and kernel and stuff were you using?

Nothing happen to my phone either

i am about to throw my diam500 out the window, ever since i started tinkering with android, it has NOT worked at all, to top it off, it will not sync with active sync or mount as a disk, i want OUT i want REAL android i hate winmo rite now plus my rom sucks, its slow freezes all the time and the sad part is that its the best one ive tried

Lol, Try the gtx fearless rom on ppc greeks website. just google roms for cdma htc diamond.

I'm sorry for not responding, but I seemed to have it working at first. After a soft reset, it seemed to have stopped. Right now, I'm trying to determine another way using other threads I've found across the internet.
I'll try to find a fix, if I can.
Edit: Updating to the latest rootfs, zimage, etc.. Fixed the data problem for me. The APN I have set up is called "Android", APN is "Internet", and APN Type "Default".
Also, make sure you have "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" in your cmdline area of startup.txt or else you have an annoying keyboard that won't go away on the top of the screen. I had this bug during my first turn on with update, but I put this in before booting Droid again, so it may have gone away on its own.

Awesome

Awesome, Its actually working. Thanks

Another thing I'd like to add, is that you MAY have to enter Airplane mode, then exit.
Definitely working for me 100% now, though.

anyone having the problem of the charge light working in reverse of what its suppose to?
my charge light pulses when the phone is not charging and is off when the phone is charging. I wasn't sure if this was a cellular south problem or an overall problem.....or if I screwed something up

how can I get GPRS connect.

I have installed several packs, but none of them can connect the internet via GPRS.(WIFI works.)
and the icon for GPRS did not dispear.
So, I wanna get help ,if there is anyway that I can have my icon back?
Thanks, inadvanced.
attached is the pic of the top bar.

under *#*#4636#*#*
the "preferred network type" show unknow,
I think here is the rub is, and how can I change it into gsm or others?
many thanks..

same problem with me. can't connect GPRS even selected apn.
btw, I am a Chinese. sunxw, are you?

face the same problem
I'm using a SIM card of china mobile, which can use cmnet and cmwap
I correctly set the APN profile of CHINA MOBILE
but i can't connect either of them when i use android, it sucks...
anyone know how to make it work? Thanks

after *#*#4636#*#*,"phone info","set preferred netwok types",it shows "UNKNOWN" and can not be changed;press menu button,"set radio band" always shows "set [] unsuccessful"
if you know something you bring it on, don't just stand there and talk

that's right. besides of GPRS problem, i also find chinese text message will be messy code after sent. either send to others or even myself.
well, it's really hard to love android.

we can send sms by feition.
it may be a workarround...I think...

GPRS data connection don't work in the build from 18th. You can ping any server by it's PI address, but you cannot ping it by it's address. Maybe there's a problem with DNS?

[Q] Updated F/W and now Internet is inaccessible.

Hello everyone, I hope I can get assistance from you guys here.
I recently took the plunge and updated the firmware on my device, so I flashed it. The main reason being that it always took at least 5 seconds to do something in regards to playing music. It annoyed the hell out of me.
Anyway, so I updated the firmware to JM5 and now I can't access the internet. I've tried adding the correct APN's, I've even tried rolling back to an earlier firmware, but again to no avail. It is so annoying. I've tried 5 different f/w versions and in each installation have tried to add the APN and reboot and nothing works.
I can use the internet via WiFi but that's it. I can't use the net outside. Did I do something wrong? Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance to any kind soul.

double check your apn settings and make sure data is enabled..
also for wifi, can you not see any access points, or is it just unable to connect to them?
have you wiped data/cache yet?

T h i s i s a d o u b l e p o s t.

Thanks for the fast response!
Well, all my APN settings are checked. Data IS enabled (is there a switch to disable that? apart from Roaming?).
WiFi works excellent. It's only when I try to use the mobile network's internet.
How do you wipe data/cache?

did you try the super wipe secret code? the one in red?

Yes, tried that as well. That's the one where it doesn't ask you to confirm resetting the phone right?
Did that after every install. I hope it gets fixed. Reinstalling all the apps even with app brain is tedious!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

that's right
i love that code, it's perfect for every new flash, and if you ever need to take the device back for repair, or resale
sorry, not sure what else you can do about the APN not working.
it's really weird.
does it work if you go back to older firmwares?

Yes, even using old firmware up until June, nothing earlier than that. But it should let me use the APNs right?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

what if you forcefully set it to a specific data frecuency only?
*#*#4636#*#*

Just received the reply from the network (O2UK). They advised me that the initial settings they sent was INCORRECT. I'm a PAYG user, and I mentioned this to them, so apparently they sent me POSTPAID settings. *facepalm*
Apparently it is recommended that people check their APN's if it's the PAYG or POSTPAID version that they need, and apply it accordingly. In my case, all firmwares would install the POSTPAID APN's.
It's now running fine and dandy, and here are the settings just in case another person here runs in to the same issue:
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: vertigo
Password: password
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Thanks for all those who took the time to help out. Much appreciated.

And I update to FroYo and even with the APN's, the phone won't connect to mobile internet anymore. Pfft. Anyone have a clue or a similar experience to this?

[Q] usb 3g stick - is it poissible

I'm using tnt lite 3.1.4, also had vegan, but none could do anything with my 3g sticks. Following different forums, I see most devices can (at least some specific sticks). Has anyone managed to set up a 3G conection? Is there a how to I could follow? What chipset the stick had?
Thanks,
T.

I tried a sprint usb aircard.. no go..

The only way I have been able to get a 3G connection is to wirelessly tether to my DroidX work phone...
1) Install Z4root on the droid and run it to root the phone
2) Install wifi tether on the droid and set up a wep key and ssid
3) Turn on the wifi tether
4) The table sees this wifi "router" or connection, I set the wep key on that connection, the two units negotiate an IP, and zap, it has 3G through the droid
Not sure if this is helpful, but that is what I had to do in my own situation.

if it's in the kernel, it should seriously work, but someone has to build it. there's absolutely no reason for this not to work if someone builds it -- it has conceptually worked in linux for years.

I can build the kernel but I believe we need to add some stuff in initrc for the usb to connect to serial (like ttyUSB). Once I get another Gtab, I'll look into this.

exactly man, thanks for stepping up! this will be ultimately useful on many different devices with usb host features, and shouldn't be ridiculously difficult to get going, and gain some real cred with the tablet community, especially now as we're the first with this new tegra2 platform, with over 20-30 new devices coming soon. i'm unsure of how many are wifi-only, but the ability to merely jack in with a 3g/4g usb modem would be ultimately useful to many, and will save a ton of money for folks.

A kernel supporting the 3g sticks would be great I have 3 of them, so I am ready for testing

Thanks for that. I also use teether from my NexusOne, but I have to give it up as I got to move to BlackBerry - so I need a different solution... (what a step backwards :-(
T.

The stick is probably seen in the kernel. The other parts, Networkmanager, dialier, ppp are not on the tab. They would have to be recompiled for the arm processor and I'm not sure what other work is needed.

Thanks Clemsyn. Using your latest kernel with Vegan B5.1. I bought a Novatel USB727 (Verizon) stick off ebay (built in Linux support) just to try this out. Would gladly test if needed.

I would also be happy to test with ATT and Verizon 3G USB modems...

Update:
Built a kernel with 3g USB support, used my friend's Verizon Mifi, plugged it in the Gtab and it turns on, Dmesg shows it is detected as Novatel wireless and shows it's serial info. That's about it, can't browse and use it. Any ideas?

I'll try my usb modem using the ubuntu load. It should have the other networking parts to dial and connect.

In the ubuntu load, networkmanager is not supported yet so usb modems are still on hold.

Yes please, we need this. I have a sprint card from work and would love to ditch the laptop when travelling. Clemsyn, I could send you a copy of sprint smart view 3g manager if you think it would help.

I am able to use 3G easily using MyWi app from Cydia on my iPhone. This Gtablet works great on 3G! And since I always have my phone on me, I always have a 3G network on my Gtablet! iPhones basically suck, but this is probably the only good thing I've been able to use it for! And man oh man, its working great! Btw, When my phone contract runs out, I'm going to change to the Evo! That would be sweet!

Same here. I've been using Wireless Tether on my rooted Droid X with an unlimited 3G data plan for several weeks and it is pretty sweet. And like you said, since I have my phone with me all the time anyway, this seemed like an obvious solution.
I would be interested in the progress of this usb effort since my carrier now offers 4G modems.

Does anyone have any idea if the gtablet will tether to the blackberry

Here Made support for a similar tablet Toshiba Folio 100:

Perhaps our main problem - is that excluded from the firmware application for telephone calls?

Bricked Devices
I've only added this section because lately there has been claim of people "bricking" their devices. There are 2 different types bricks:
Soft Brick
A soft[ware] bricked phone is one that has had its (boot) partition(s) ruined but will still communicate on a COM port. These are fixed by flashing the correct .hex files in Download Mode of QPST to recover the boot partition.
*Currently there is no known .hex files for our phone*
Hard Brick
A hard[ware] bricked phone is one that has had its chipset memory ruined. The only way to fix this is via JTAG to directly access the memory in the chipset and reflash it.
*Currently Riffbox DOES NOT support our chipset and HTC has started implementing "JTAG Fuses" in their phones blocking you from being able to flash the chipset.*
To be quite honest though, all of you end users shouldn't have to worry about bricking your device, cause its pretty hard to do if you actually read and follow directions correctly. If you do brick your device, whether you followed the instructions to the dot or not, its still your fault. Devs take no responsibility for your actions. It was your choice to do, its your fault.
Network Symbols Explained
*As I've only had AT&T, I can only speak for how it is with them.*
Firstly, AT&T stock LTE phones always showing 4G is a lie. It will show 4G wether you have HPSA or HPSA+. Technically 4G doesn't even exist. It's a marketing gimmick.
According to AT&T here is how the symbols work:
E(dge): GSM - The slowest of the slow.
3G: HSPA or UMTS - High Speed Pack Access and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
3G(+): HSPA+ - An upgrade to the HSPA protocal. This is your average network.
4G: HSPA+ - Tower upgrade. Enhanced backhaul.
4G LTE: LTE - Long Term Evolution. On LTE you should typically expect speeds no less then 20mbps.
If you are using the RumRaider ROM (as of 1/3/'12) your symbols will appear as:
E - E
3G - 3G
4G - H
4G LTE - 4G
Preparing for ROOT
Firstly what is ROOT?
Where should I go to READ up on what to do? Check out the HTC Vivid SUPERGUIDE.
*Please make sure you read word for word, and use the search button to see if your question has been answered before you post.*
**No really, I'm being serious, read it word for word. If you brick your phone, its your own fault.**
Flashing ROMs
Now I obviously can't tell you how to flash ROMs because everyone is different, and I want you READING what the Dev has spent his time to type up. So at least humor them, and read it. Even if you think you know everything there is to possibly know about flashing ROMs. You might just learn a thing or two.
Some good things to remember (along with READING the Devs posts) -
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.
Don't expect it to be perfect:
Every ROM for our phone is a work in progress. And they'll be that way for a long time. So obviously things are gonna act up, things won't work, things won't be included, ect. Don't flash the ROM and then complain about something not being there, or being buggy. Especially if its stated in OP...
Don't spam for something you want in the ROM:
This isn't your ROM and XDA isn't your personal army If theres something you want really bad. Do some research, find a flashable zip for it. If it won't work with our device, ask a dev if they'd be willing to port it for you. If they won't then don't ask keep asking and bugging. If you are gonna ask a dev to port it for you, donating is a good thing to do. If one ROM has a bunch of things you want, and the one youre currently on doesn't, don't say "but this ROM has it". The solution is simple, switch ROMs. If your extremely picky on what you want, make your own ROM.
Read through all the posts before asking a question:
Sometimes it could be as simple as you messing up on a step or forgetting to do something. Sometimes its a known issue. A lot of times the answer to your problem is already in the thread. It'd save you (and everyone else) a lot of time if you'd just find the solution by reading.
Don't blame the dev:
If something happens to your phone, it is your fault. Whether you messed up or not. If you flashed the ROM, you took the chance. 99% of the time, it is absolutely because you did something wrong.
Keep a cool head if you make a major boo boo:
If something does go wrong, do not flip out and go ape crazy. No matter how bad it seems, a lot of the time there is a solution to fix it. Check to see if a solution has been found by someone in your situation. If not, then you can make a thread in the development forum. Post everything you did, any errors that popped up, and whats wrong. Be patient, stay cool, and do everything someone says to try.
Donate:
Donate and use the thanks button. The devs are spending their free time making these ROMs for you. They don't get payed to do this. Its a hobby for them. So at least make it a little more worth while for them. Remember they made something youre using, and most likely without them, you couldn't do yourself.
How to increase Battery Life
Firstly, let your phone deep sleep! When your not using it don't keep messing with it. If you think you got a text or an email, check the LED light (assuming you didn't change the settings)
Set the Screen Brightness down:
Don't keep your screen up at 100%...This should be a given. Typically Auto Brightness is enough but if your in an area where light is shining on the sensor making it brighter then it needs to be turn it down.
Turn Wifi off when not in use:
I know its convenient to keep your wifi on but I don't think you have any idea how much battery is wasted when you have no connection. It just sits there and searches over and over. Tasker allows your wifi to be automatically be toggled by your GPS location along with many other convenient battery saving toggles.
Vibrate uses more power then a sound notification:
If you don't need the phone to vibrate to notify you, don't use it. This is a very simple way to actually increase your battery life if you get a lot of notifications.
Turn off Data when not needed:
If you're somewhere that you know you won't be checking XDA, FB, or other data related things, turn it off. This will save a good amount of battery. If you still want to be able to receive mms, or emails, go to the Sync settings and disable the syncing of whatever you don't need.
Calibrate your battery
Technically every time you flash a ROM you should calibrate your battery or once every other month. This is the way I do it, but there are numerous ways out there to do it -
1. Let phone die
2. Pull battery, wait 30 secs, put battery back in
3. (Keeping the phone off) Charge to 100%
4. Pull battery, wait 30 secs, put battery back in
5. (Keeping the phone off) Make sure it still reads 100% when plugged in
6. Using an app or CWM Recovery wipe your battery data
7. Enjoy your calibrated battery
CPU Speed
Now typically I don't dwell into the area of messing with CPU speeds, using an app such as SetCPU, unless the current kernel isn't doing it correctly. This is because (IMO) the kernels default governor typically does an amazing job keeping the CPU in the areas it needs to be. The stock kernel maxes the CPU speed out at 1.2ghz. This is an underclocked speed (under the average rated speed for the CPU). The CPUs normal rated speed is 1.5ghz. So once again, 1.2ghz for improved battery life and still having a perfectly functioning device, 1.5ghz on the top of the absolute normal safe side. I say this because our device already runs hot even being underclocked. Overclocking is typically only for benchmarking although it does help some if you dwell in the area of high demanding apps and such.
*If you're on a kernel that doesn't correctly govern or just want to mess with the settings keep reading on; If not scroll on past to the next section*.
**Messing with you CPU speeds/voltages can cause your phone to freeze, overheat, and can drastically shorten the life of your device.**
Here is the settings that I use:
Main -
(On Demand)
Max: 1188000
Min: 192
Screen off -
(On Demand)
Max: 432
Min: 192
*At the time of writing this, overclocking isn't supported in any kernels, so until I update this, don't ask for the safe (if you can call it that) speeds!*
LCD Density
A lot of you have probably heard about changing your LCD density and are wondering what it is or how it works. Basically changing your LCD density changes the dpi (dots per inch or pixels per inch).
Essentially it allows you to go from this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To this:
Credit to Addictive Tips for the pictures.
Rather then me trying to explain it any more then that, here is a good in depth article on the science behind it: LCD Density Explained.
Here is a good app to change your LCD Density: LCD Resolution
*When changing your density remember, the lower the number the bigger everything appears or the higher the number the smaller everything appears.*
**I don't know if this app works on our phone, I have never tried it. I have heard of it having issues on Ice Cream Sandwich but working fine on Gingerbread**
Beats Audio
*First and foremost stop asking for it to be cooked into a ROM, if you want it on your phone you can find the flashable zip here*
Now I know you're thinking, why is there a section just on Beats? The answer? This is one of those smoke and mirror things that I think needs to be cleared up. Beats is just a glorified EQ. All it does is clean up and amplify low frequencies (bass). Most phones that come stock with beats have speakers that are designed for it. Ours is not. Maybe if you have a pair of bass heavy headphones then yes this is for you...but even then you could just use a more customizable EQ and get the sound cued to how you really want it. As far as what it affects...just the music player. It doesn't affect streamed music, Pandora, youtube, ect.

This guide is nowhere near complete, and I doubt it ever will be. There is just too much information floating around. My goal is to try and place a fraction of it together to make it a little easier on all you newbies Thanks for reading, and good luck! - Travis

Please feel free to suggest anything to be added to the guide!

Please suggest anything yall want up in the guide. I want this thing to be LONGGGG.

you didnt ask me..
i will also eventually come through and delete some of the chit chat in here so its just full of knowledge. Nothing worse than have to sift through a bunch of chit chat posts trying to find an answer...

One question I have involving battery life, I know with my Infuse, wiping the battery stats (calibrating) did absolutely nothing (don't ask me how/why). Something to do with the battery itself and how the phone reads it. So my question is, can anyone shed some light on if calibrating does make a difference for the Vivid?

From what I've noticed in flashing rumraider it has helped but then again it could just be in my mind cause I used to have to with my hd2. Honestly I guess a test would be the only true way to to tell.

Possibly. I'll try to look through the Infuse forums for some more info. I remember hearing it numerous times though. Maybe HTC phones do not apply... I'll let you know if I find anything.

as Entropy keeps telling everyone in sammy forums: "stop trying to apply HTCisms to this phone!"...
battery stats might still be completely valid here, but im not a kernel guy so i dont go that far into it.

Could the experienced vivid users that have setcpu compile their profiles for the less experienced for battery saving? Thanks

Rethinking my post, for proper question, and thread.

Wild Child found the following post about random restarts:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-vivid/133049-random-restarts.html
Looks like un-checking the fast boot option found in settings power has resolved the issue in some cases, but it appears to be a hardware issue.
Might be worth listing here.

*UPDATE* 3/11/12
+ "Bricked Devices" | Due to the increased claim of people bricking their Vivids
? "Breakdown: How To RUUs" | :facepalm: This one shouldn't be needed, but its being spam asked all over
? "Breakdown: Flashing the Boot Image" | You'd think by now, people would realize you gotta flash a boot image or things aren't gonna work...
+ = Added
- = Removed
? = Possibly to be added in near future

If you can boot into hboot find the thread about returning to stock and follow those instructions.
If you cannot boot into hboot (softbrick) then you'll have to send your phone to HTC to get it fixed.

this maybe a stupid question, because the whole forum is labelled as such but I want to double check.
I live in Sydney/Australia. My father works for Telstra Mobile Net (the major mobile carrier down here) and through him I know where all the 4G coverage is. It just happens to be, where I live... and where I work.
So, I want to get:
http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/ph...s_kwcid=TC|6013|HTC velocity||S|e|13819125193
This forum is primarily labeled as the HTC Vivid, am I looking at the right forum for rooting and ROMing my phone?
before this I had a desire and desire s (which died, I bricked it and I know it ) and I had so much fun romming and playing with these phones I want to ensure that the fun will continue with my new one.
Thanks team.

You are in the right section. If you get one, get a Telstra branded one (which is what you were looking at), last time I checked the Unlocked version of the Velocity hasn't gotten the hboot OTA update necessary for it to run ICS ROMs
Also I'm jelly of Telstras plans, I almost pay that much just for 2gb of data The whole $XXX for MMS/CALLs part of the Telstra plan confuses me though...

without a doubt I will be getting a Telstra one.
yeah, well. As I said my father works for them, so I get the phone on a staff plan.
its basically a $40 cap plan, with 1gb of data and I think its like $400 worth of calls.
i'll report back when I get it sometime this week.

Battery saving.
I have found great results with 2x Battery. It toggles the data connection for you. It will shut it down after about a minute of screen off when it goes into standby and turns it back on in under 5 seconds of wake up. You can white list apps too.

Yeha, I Have had the phone a couple of weeks now, and I am having battery issues. Worse than I have ever had before.
I have flashed the ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544601
and I am using a combination of Set CPU for root users and Juice defender, which has some of the features you describe and more.
On a totally different note, is there a place where I can look up the means of a bunch of different TLA's and terms, these would be general ROM terms.... not just velocity/vivid/holiday. examples would be:
what does Deodexed mean?
what does Zipaligned?
what does MUU mean and stand for?
what does OTA mean and stand for?
what does CIQ mean and stand for and why would I want ot remove it?
Debloater, what does it debloater and why would I want to debloat?
if I find more, i'll ask. I am pretty technically minded so feel free to give me gory details. I just think it would help in my understanding of rooting and phones and what not what these terms and TLA's actually mean (TLA standards for Three Letter Acronym).
Thanks

Deodexed-Basically it just allows for customization of the roms like changing colors, etc.
Zipaligned-helps reduce ram being used when using an application.
RUU?-Basically firmware from the factory like htc will send out in a .exe file to make it easier to update software. Rom Update Utility
OTA-Over the air, type of update sent out to your phone from att, etc.
CIQ-Carrier IQ, way for att, etc to improve the phone by looking at certain data although it could also be used to "spy" on people and their activities which is why you don't want it. Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't contain it.
Debloat-Means to get rid of the carrier installed apps that you don't want. You can achieve this by rooting your phone and installing a custom rom or removing the apps yourself after rooting.

all-in-one root kit
First off I am a new user. Can someone please help me. I have gone through the HTC.Vivid.All-In-One\Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 and everything seemed to be working fine. I got the token ring, submitted it, and did the unlock bootloader. All i get now is an error message saying "cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin." Does anyone know what I can do to help me unlock my phone?
Just spent another hour trying to root, Started from scratch with the hansons all-in-one root kit and still cannot get passed step five. I tried to do it from the HTCdev site and the same thing. Has anyone got this to work with the HTC Vivid?
