[Q] Droid 4 + JB = Phone or Data - pick one? - Motorola Droid 4

I have a Droid 4 with stock 4.0.4 that works perfectly with Polish Orange operator (GSM). I tried to install some JB rom, but when I go to 4.1 or 4.2 I don't have any data connection. At first I thought it was a problem in some particular ROM, so I tried almost all 4.1/4.2 builds I could find on the internet. They all have different options, more or less, but I didn't get data connection on any of them.
The second try was to modify 'something' in build.prop. I had no idea how to start so I checked some tutorials and xda topics and I looked at any options that could be related to data connection. After many tries I started to think that it's just impossible, but then I got the setup with working data , unfortunately the phone application started to hang or FC on all phone connections.
The next thing I could do was to narrow it down. I tried some combinations of build.prop, apns-conf, restarts and wiping and I've found a single setting that changes everything - "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice". It seems to work this way:
1. Just after the installation of any ROM the option is set to 1. You can make and receive calls and SMS's. Wifi, GPS, etc. works. But regardless of what network options I use, if it's LTE or just 2G GSM, what APNs I set, if I reboot or use airplane mode - there are no data at all.
2. When I change this setting to 0 and reboot I immediatelly get the data connection. I don't even need to set-up APN (In fact it works even with VZW default APN, and I'm on Orange PL). It works on 2G and 3G, on GSM and LTE, I get all networks from Edge to HSDPA. So the phone is able to get data connection. But when I try to make a call the phone app hangs, and when I receive one it FCs.
For both of those cases I tried many different configuration options, with reboots, wipes and so on, to make sure that connection depends on build.prop setting and not on anything else.
So at this point I know that the phone is able to do both connection types, but how to get them at the same time?
BTW: I know about using Google, forum search and so on, I tried to find any clue about resolving this on my own but now I'm just stuck. However I've found something that I didn't find anywhere else, so maybe with your help we'll find some solution .

Ok LTE only works with verizon and apn depends on your network
I'am use a mod I flash thet after rom install and this mod patch the build.prob an add a larg apn list
So only flash the mod an have fun

Thanks for saving my phone @NighPlayer32 . I still got some random shutdown so I need to test it more, before I use it as daily device, but now I see light in this tunnel. The phone and data works, even without any touch in settings.
I'm going to check this mod in more details and understand what it does, so I may get back with some more questions .

Thanks

App Blocking 3g Access

I currently have something on the phone not allowing 3g access. I can't seem to figure out what it is, but I believe I narrowed it down to an App. I did a wipe and clean rom install and 3g was working fine. I did a titanium backup restore of all apps with data and now 3g isn't working again. Anyone know of an easy way to pinpoint what is blocking my 3g? I tried ending all tasks in advanced task manager, but I'm guessing the phone would need a reboot to bring back 3g?
Have you check you settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-use only 2g networks?
ya I tried using only 2g network, I even tried researching the network and it finds tmobile in the settings. I even went as far as getting a fresh sim card prior to wiping the phone. Somehow after an app/data restore from titanium back up, tmobile internet no longer works still. It's why I wiped in the first place.
1) Double check your APN settings in settings > networks > mobile networks
2) In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* > choose phone info > scroll down > verify that 'set preferred network type' reads WCDMA preferred.
3) Also in settings, make sure you didnt set 'use 2g only'. Same location as #2 above
Thanks for your help. I actually just did a nandrestore from an image I had that was a week old and internet came back, so it has to of been something I done within a weeks time. I just hope I don't end up hitting the app that stopped it, if I think it was one, because thats the only thing that makes sense to me.
I have your same problem could you be so kind as to attach the img you put so I try too? thanks

Then you will have his phone.
you mean....?
i Think i have a similar problem... I turn 3g on and after half an hour i cannot access the internet anymore... The sign in the notification area shows the "sent arrow" blinking but the receive arrow does nothing... I have apndroid to control my 3g usage... I unistalled it, did a reboot but again the problem persists... Do you have anything in mind???
I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happens with 2g network as well

When someone does a nandroid backup, it backs up all the data on the phone. All of it, if you restore it to your phone, you will be logged into google as him, you will have all his contacts, messages, settings etc. If one of you downloads something, it may download on both machines. The only way to fix it would be to wipe both of them.
i have the same problem. two days ago its working fine. i just turn on turn off the wifi and it just works again.
Can also try turning the airplane mode on/off. This problem occurs if you use APNdroid or similar, or toggle mobile connection on the Desire ROM.
tired of trying and try to wipe, reset, several rom, so I decided to send it to HTC in England ... and the problem is which has the bootloader unlock my ...

totally disable mobile Data

so im leaving the country in a few hours and taking my G1 with me, been looking at solutions to effectively disable ALL mobile data, without affecting Voice. basically i'll be using a PPD SIM and dont want random data charges munching my minutes.... all sense roms have this option built in, but heres a few problems, 1.5 has no nav in maps, and i plan on using it over WIFI, 2.1 sense is just too batt hungry and unstable to possibly wind up lost in a foreign country where i speak 0 words of the native language.
from what ive read APNdroid doesn't quite do it.... is there any way as root i could effectively "break" the data connection?
or alternatively does anyone know of SoftBank in Japan offers ultd Data for PPD SIMs? if so how much? and any ideas weather i'll be able to get 3G or only EDGE with my T-mo Radio
try dialing *#*#4636#*#*
then "Phone information"
menu button
"More"
"Disable data connection"
Do the same to turn it back on.
id read about this fix as well, however it appears it doesnt hold across reboots, ima be here for a couple weeks, i need a more permanent solution...
is there no way to physically remove the drivers that control the mobile network via ADB or maybe pull it out of an update.zip before flashing?
I think the option below it is "disable on boot". You could try that.
change the APN settings, or get a program called quick settings from the market. either way is a quick fix.
the set on boot option will reset its self after the WiFi is cycled... and of course without data i'll be using wifi as much as possible.... so far APN droid has served me pretty well, however i've still cought glimpses of that 3G icon, so if anyone has any ideas im all ears
i remember some early Haykuro ports that had improper Radio drivers and had no data connection, so if anyone knows what files those would be thats really the key im looking for
bump/update
the only time i see it trying to pull data when the APN is disabled, auto sync is off, and bkgrnd data is off, is in one of 2 cases, immeadeatly after i cycle off wifi, i see the 3g icon for a split second, and sometimes when im in Market uninstalling something
ive come to the conclusion its probably easier to just leave WiFi on and not touch the market unless ive got a WiFi signal, but now its almost a matter of i know that theres got to be a way to do it (seeing as with Root, i should be able to "break" just about anything) and its eluding me....
if anyone has any clue as to what files control the data "drivers" or whatever, im sure i can take it from there, just need a push in the right direction (or directory, lol)
Go to APN under Networks and just delete all the APNs.
Alternatively you can make a new one with bogus information and select it.
... did you even read my post.... that was my first try, days ago...

MMS not working, is it a general CM7 bug?

Hey people
I've flashed MiniCM7 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 and also flashed GingerDX v006, v007, v008, v009 and v010 and ALL of them have the same problem, i cannot send/receive MMS.
My APNs are correct, as VODAFONE gives with the phone and as it says in VDF PT website. In every FROYO Rom I flashed in my phone i can send/receive MMS without problems, with the same Configs. and APNs.
Can someone help me fixing this bug please?
It's very important for me
Thanks in advance
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Clearly its a CM7 bug, I dont know is it bug up in the tree, or its just on our device.
Peace, DDI!

KuyaDROID has the same problem, is a CM7 ROM also, so there is a problem on all CM7 ROMs.
There's any way to port any files from CM6 2.2 to fix the problem?
Thanks
I doubt, since I don't use MMS I don't even care about this
You should investigate is this "all-around" CM7 bug or just porblem on our device. If it's so, doixanh or racht could fix it
Peace, DDI!

I think it isn't any problem of my phone hardware. I can send/receive MMS without problems if i use 2.1 or 2.2 roms. So it is probably a CM7 Bug.
I'm a bit noob in this but if you explain me what files are related to this i can compare some files and see if i found some string that appears to be problematic.
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for your help.
Regarding the MMS issues some people mention;
Go to settings/wireless&network/mobile networks/access point names/
click on each APNs and scroll down to "Authentication type" where you chose PAP instead of the default none.
Good luck.
thenks go to JRO001!

Thanks but it doesn't work :S
It must work without changing that because in 2.1 and 2.2 it worked without changing that so it must work here too.
Well, let's wait for someone who knows a bit of development to see if the bug is detected (and fixed)
Thanks everybody for your help

I also had this bug in froyobread (2.2).. the only way you can receive/send MMS' is to enable data trafic.. yes it will make you lose money but there are ways to prevent this like changing the apn of your internet connection to an invalid one, so you can have data traffic enabled without connecting to the internet trough 3G.
The easiest way is to install a widget that turns 3G internet on and of (APN OnOff for ex) so you can have data traffic enabled all the time without having concerns with money. When you want to use 3G internet you just click the widget so it turns the apn to a valid one.
Will it use more battery having data traffic always on even if it's not connected? Yes, a bit.. because the phone will try to connect to the invalid apn now and then but it's the only way until the bug is fixed..

I know that, i use APN Portugal to set up all APN's and leave the Internet disabled. Then i enable data trafic and "voila" xD
But in Gingerbread CM7 i cannot do that. It says that cannot send.
You probably made this already, but whenever I get a "cannot send" I just disable and then re-enable the 3G and it just works. (I have to do this every time I reboot the phone).
Regarding the wasting of battery, has I rarely use the 3G for internet navigation I deleted the Internet APN and changed the MMS "APN Type" from "mms" to "mms,supl". Now the 3G will only connect when sending or receiving MMS.
I had to type the full apn in all of the gingerbread roms and I get Mms in and out on o2 so dose the wife so that 2phone I know defo get mms.it may look the same as what's on the rom but its not
PS you must make a new apn with your sim network just Google it to get the right settings
super.sense on x8
Just switched to Kuyadroid to try it out today, and whilst I was able to get MMS on GingerDX, I just can't get anything through (in or out) on Kuyadroid.
Any ideas people?
Impster
umm strange cuz i dont got any problem with sending/reciving mms... i didnt change anything etc...

[NEED HELP] Data Connection Problems with CM7

I have problems activating 3G data when switching from WiFi.
Before rooting, I used to keep my data off most of the time. If I wasn't in a WiFi area I would manually go to settings>Networks>Mobile Networks and turn my data on. It would show a 3G/H on my status bar.
After rooting and flashing CM7.1, I keep my data on all the time through my power widget in the status bar. Even when I'm not in WiFi, the 3G/H symbol does not show in the status bar.
I have tried switching it on manually from the settings>network>mobile network but that hasn't worked.
I've switched to flight mode and back and rebooted my phone and it hasn't worked.
I have an active 3G data plan from Vodafone with all settings in place
Is there something I can do to make my data plan work again?
it happend me before but i dont have root and im on stock rom,
Hold the power button till phone options pop up and click data network mode and wait.. It could take up to 2min for the phone to fine a 3g/h network. If that dont work try to switch it to 2g. Maybe your carrier has low signal where you are...
If those dont work restore to stock rom.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I have a minimum of three bars of signal anywhere in my house.
Ive tried both 2g/3g
I dont have a data network mode option on CM7 when I press the power button
When I had an unrooted stock rom, the power button button would never work for me
I have the same problem with the icsunday rom for galaxy ace. I like the rom its faster but i cant connect to 3g/edge. I have tried a lot of modems and doesnt work. Can someone help me with this?

It's an outdated thread, but it's not the correct section, why don't you try to configure APN manually? or coping the correct APN file and setting the correct permissions?
ohh..okie,sorry for that and thank you for telling me....

[Q] CyanogenMod 2G/3G problem.

Hi, I am currently using Mackay's ROM which is CM 10.1 based. Sometimes when I turned on 2G data, it won't connect at all. When I tried switching to 3G, it stays at 2G and nothing happens. When I switched to airplane mode, the data switched to 3G but the signal bar stays full bar on my drop-down menu and there is no signal,aeroplane icons on the top right corner of the phone. The problem also occurs the other way round when i switch from 3G to 2G. The problem is only solved when i reboot my phone, however after another few minutes or so, I have to reboot again for data connection. Does anyone have a permanent solution for this? As it is frustrating to keep rebooting. And i tried changing APNs. The default APN for me is MiWorld WAP (GPRS). However, the default APN does not really connects. It's like a Laptop having a 'Limited Connection' WiFi. So I can only switch between the other 2 APN with is M1 and Sunsuft Internet, which the problem still occurs. Thanks to anyone who replies.
Have a nice day!
Already tried flashing a newer baseband?
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
Yes, sometimes this happens to me too...but it always did with every CM10/CM10.1-based roms.
I tried many basebands (v20, v28, v30), but it always happens. To me, about twice a week.
I always thought this could be related with the fact that we don't have a baseband made for jelly bean, and so I gave up on this issue.
When it happens, I simply reboot my phone.
And I avoid to use airplane mode, because usually after disabling it (if I left it enabled for more than a few minutes) I can't get network coverage until I reboot.

Thanks for the reply. I will try flashing newer baseband.
//Edit 1 What is the recommended baseband in Singapore? I tested V30B Euro OPEN, but doesn't seem to solve it.
//Edit 2 I read on other threads which says choose the baseband from your region, and i went to download a V30C Singapore version of the firmware and extracted and flashed the baseband. It seems to be working well.
