[TO DEV's] Data-connection troubles - Desire General

Hi
I've been updating my ROM whenever a new one came to my interest.
Unfortunately some of the latest updates has resulted in loss of data-connection.
After a few tests, I found out that the problem is in the ROM, so I guess you've been cleaning up, and unfortunately for me, deleted some nessecary settings for data-connection in Denmark. Dunno which, but I've been going through all of my settings, APN, radio, etc., and all are fully updated to newest versions, and my APN settings are correct. Still i get no 3g or HSDPA icon and when i go into internet browsing, it just says page can't be shown.
After doing all I could, I tried going back to SetROM 1.0, and then I got data-connection back.
I've been using Defrost since 1.8 with no problems, but around 2.0f it went bas
Now I tried:
SetROM 3.5
OpenDesire
LeeDroid
DJ Droid
and none of them seems to be working with data-connection for me, except SetROM 1.0
I dunno if there's any other way around this, but for now, I seem to be stucked with the old ROM, which works OK, but i would really like to be able to use the newest ROM's again.
Love all your work
Best regards
Lars
EDIT: SetROM 1.0, LeeDroid 1.2, Mcr r21 is tested and data connection works in these releases
I tried going into phone system settings via "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*), and got following information:

but still no dataconnection

Did you try to re-flash the radio?
Also, you could try to flash a RUU

Tried flashing the radio 3 times after i did a full wipe and then installed another ROM afterwards...
haven't thought about the RUU's yet, so I'll just try that and get back on that
Thx for heads up
EDIT: But he RUU's are 2.1 (Eclair), right? well, those which comes with RUU

solved
(NOT REALLY) SOLVED
It seems there is an error in the gsm/WCDMA-module...
Settings -> wireless and network -> mobile data
It was set to Auto, and I chose it to always use GSM, now I'm back online with the newest updates an ROM's
It seems it still get an error sometimes, where it goes back into automode, and I need to set it again... dunno if this should be looked in to
EDIT:
Okay - it falls out a lot... can't stay online for more than 10 secs max...
Doesn't seem to work anyway - it says connected, but pages still can't shown
Bummer
Furthermore I have to menu's called "mobile network", dunno if they are interfering with eachother. They are there, when on DJ Droid and LeeDroid. Tried deactivating one of them, but no luck... Trying again with DeFrost, which dont use HTC Sense, and sees if that has something to do with it, couldn't get that to work earlier either, but I seem stuck with LeeDroid, and will se what there is to do in other builds without Sense
I Have wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache, before flashing
Also, I was thinking about the auto apps recovery feature could have something to do with it... haven't been looking much into that yet, just noticed when installing a new app, all my apps where still there after wipe and flashing new ROM (from Defrost 2.0 to Defrost 2.1 etc.) and I think I got a double of some of the programs :S

I give up
I've been through everything to my knowledge and what I could find on google
Only ROM that seems to work is SetROM 1.0, then I hope a new build in the future will work with danish networks again

I have tried to get an answer on the same problem But it seems like there is no help to get. Right now im using FIRERIZN_W_1 which i think are a very good and stable rom and must important works in denmark.

i have no problems with any of those roms, currently running MCR r5 and speedtesting my mobile network to 260 kB/s
in Denmark that is

I just found the problem. I had to create my APN settings manually and now it work like a charm.
To you other danes which have the same problem as me, just contact you operator for the APN settings.
I found this link for my operatør, its not the right phone, but the settings are the same for me.
http://www.callme.dk/kundeservice/mobil/mobilopsaetninger/opsaetning-af-sony-ericsson-x10/
Hope that can help you guys which have the same problem.

Okay. Thx, will try one of those rom's instead. Setrom 1.0 works okay too, also 3g and froyo, but of course its not fully upgrade as 3.5
I allready tried putting in the apn settings manually, but no luck
Thx for the answers though. Very much appreciated

Do you have a link for the mcr?
I just rooted for the first time a month ago, though I have had, and preordered to month before release, the first android mobile, HTC magic and never left android since... but I'm glad that I took the leap and rooted, just too bad that 3g doesn't work in all rom releases
But what I meant to say was that I dunno all releases yet. Only tried defrost, DJ Droid, leedroid, setrom and opendesire
EDIT: I'm on FireRIZN now, and everything seems to work great, so thx for that I don't like the red theme that much though, so would like to test out Mcr too, just to try it

I have issues with data too. In Sweden though. But my problems comes and goes and persists for about a minute. I am 100% sure my problem is related to the radio file because on my HTC Magic I had this same problem with some 6.xx radio-versions also called "new radio" but not with the old series, 3.xx. on my HTC Desire however its actually the oldest version of the radio that works the best. Last I would also like to remind you of the servicemenu that you can reach by "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#*. In the first menu, phone information, you can perform a ping test and view low level network stats, and also set preferred network mode.

I don't think it's the radio which causes it, of course im not sure, but I downgraded to an older radio, without a better result. I think they have cleaned up the roms to much and perhaps deleted some settings that we need in the nordics. Of course they are not importent to them, while the ROM still fully works in their contries, and they get a cleaner and faster ROM. Unfortunate for us though.
Things you can check are the APN settings. get them from your tele-provider, and set them manually.
Otherwise, try wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before installing new ROM
And at last - which gave me success - try another ROM. I tried most of the ROMS except Modaco custom ROM (MCR - Finally found it) and FIRERIZN. FIRERIZN worked for me, and is going to try Modaco shortly, which should be close to stock ROM, but upgrade to latest builds and kernel, etc.

Okay, haven't tried "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#*
But downgraded to 4.xx.xx radio from 5.xx.xx and didn't help. But perhaps the INFO dial would help on the other ROMS i used ealier, as DeFrost etc.
QUESTION: Do I have to become Premium member at Modaco's homepage to download the Mcr? I would be sorry to pay 10-30$ and then find out that the 3g doesn't work :S

I'm on Modaco Custom ROM (Mcr) r21 now and 3g works here too.
Dunno what the difference between r5 and r21 is, but it seems r5 is a newer relase. The r5 seems to be accessable by kitchen only, which requires Premium membership (10$)
Considering bying, but need to check out the benefits at first
I guess the reason for the data connection loss must be concluded to be due to ROM updates/cleaning of ROM.
Perhaps a MOD could be made to get back the old settings for nordic, which I believe must have been cleaned away
Thanks for all the help guys. Think I'm sticking with Mcr r21 for a while, untill further info has been released in other releases
EDIT: Mcr 21 is close to stock Froyo (thumps up), on the other hand, phone storage is pretty low :S Don't think camera works either, nor video recorder, I'm sure this is fixed in r5 (payed version)

Tried running a Ping test in one of the ROMS now, when in phone system menu.

Yes! Also the settings I got. I also tried using APN TYPE for internet: Default, supl
which is was called in LeeDroid 1.2, where it worked. But got those settings as you reffer to set now

Okay. The problem IS that the gprs won't connect. I tried ping testing in working Rom and non-working Rom.
The apn settings are the exact same in both. Wcdma is set to preferred in both situations.
In working Rom the gprs connects - no problem
In non-working gprs status says connecting and then switches to disconnected after a while, when it can't get any connection
What could be the cause of this? And how do we solve it?
Tried updating to latest ROMs and radio is 5.xx.xx.008, the newest
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

FINALLY SOLVED
Okay, so here is the delio
A lot of things can cause data connection trouble, so i will try to pin out the unuasual errors.
1. Flash a new radio - try updating to the newest, if you got an old. Just got a new radio and data don't work anymore? Try flash the old radio again.
2. Set APN settings manually and activate mobile network
2.1 (In my case) I had to set proxy and port number manually under APN settings. I didn't need to do this with older ROM's, and they are not normally given by the tele provider. I called them and got them, had to wait for 5 minutes when set, and then it found the network.
3. Set preferred network to WCDMA (3G) or GSM (2G) instead of Auto mode. I had to do this too, to make it work
You can also use dial pad and dial *#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*) and go into phone settings and make a ping test. Also, you get more settings here for preferred network type.

GPRS only working upstream on XDAIIs

Got a weird problem. GPRS only seems to work upstream - not downstream. I can send MMS but not receive. I cannot download any web pages. checked SIM card in another XDA and GPRS works fine so it must be the phone, not the Mobile account.
Upgraded system ROM and Radio to latest:-
ROM : 1.40.00WWE
Radio : 1.12.00
Ext ROM : 1.31.920 WWE
Tried taking out all the add-on applications from extended ROM in case of conflict - but no luck.
Can't find any way to get GPRS download to work. System is logging on as it can pick up an IP address. Just that no data flows down to the device.
Any suggestions?
MMS has different settings to http. Go to you connections manager and copy the details from the other xda which you tested it on
Thanks - but tried that. Copies all settings exactly but still no luck. Loaded IP Dashboard so I can check network settings. Looks like I am getting an IP address from the network - I can ping the default gateway, but no data ever seems to make it through to the browser. That is what made me think it might be an application conflict - hence removing everything from the extended rom - but still no luck. All very strange.

Any workaround, need some expert help here. ???????

MDA Pro -> Jasjar ROM Upgrade : T-Mobile UK Settings Help

Hi all -
First of all, this isn't a "Help - a ROM upgrade killed my baby" post.
All (seems) to be working just fine, and I'm getting email pushed to me very happily (hurrah).
I do, however, have a question about the connections settings, which I'm hoping other UK users can help me with.
I've set up the gprs/umts connection to use access point "general.t-mobile.uk" as my device previously had. I've set the username / password to user /pass, as I found out doing a quick search.
My problem is, though, that whilst the (U) symbol is shown, my connection rate is ridiculously slow (like treacle).
Are there any other settings I should be reviewing? Is that username/password correct?
Thanks for any suggestions

Okay - having rebooted the phone, I'm unable to make a data connection at all. Is this a known problem? Is there an issue with this radio stack (1.0.9) on T-Mobile?
the i-mate rom have wrong settings for t-mobile UK in MMS and data.
You need to set them up manually.
Best way to do it is read the manual on t-mobile site.. it has a step by step guide.
I did that and it worked..
the settings you might have found using google search on 3rd party sites don't work, I tried that already

O2 XDA Orbit UK with Voda SIM - GPRS Problem

Hi All,
Am sure there are many threads - did a search but came up with nothing like mine. O2 Branded XDA Orbit with Vodafone SIM.
Upgraded from Default ROM to WM6 Bepe version - everything seems fine except my GPRS Connection.
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Rom 3.4.207.1 WWE
4/18/07
Radio 2.49.90
Protocol 4.1.13.25
Model ARTE200
I have tried connecting to GPRS using my VODA SIM - which I know for a fact IS enabled for it as I was using it on my XDA-IIs - Now I just cannot connect to the GPRS to access my gmail or anything whatsoever.
I entered all the details for Voda-GPRS manually and also from CAB from this site and still cannot connect - it starts to connect and says the "connection was disconected" check settings...!!!
I am at my wits end on what the problem is !
Any ideas?
Dev
A couple of months ago I had an HTC Beta of WW6 and had to wipe it as it would not connect, same as you. Afterwards, I found out that WW6 install resets varions Connections settings incorrectly (part of beta).
Go to Settings / GPRS settings and make sure you have CHAP selected
My install had PAP selected.
Jeff
Sounds to me like the rom you have used has a feature/setting that disconnects GPRS connections for whatever reason - possibly to stop programs from auto connecting with GPRS.
Have you checked with the creator of the ROM to see if anything like this was implemented in to it? It may be fixable with a registry tweak or setting.
Mine worked both Bepe and B&B V2 ok.
GPRS:
1. Click on Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections
2. Under the heading 'My Work Network', click on 'Add a new modem
connection'
3. The settings you require are:
4. Name = Vodafone MMS
5. Modem = Cellular Line (GPRS)
6. Click 'Next'
7. Access Point Name = wap.vodafone.co.uk
8. Click 'Next'
9. Username = wap
10. Password = wap
11. (leave the Domain field blank)
12. Click 'Finish'
Thanks Guys - Worked fine - Seems I was giving the APN wrong...
Well finally atleast it's working now...
Now only to get the Blackberry connect to work and I'm on cloud nine !!!
Hi I was trying to set my dad up with my old wizard.
He's on vodaphone and I've been able to get the GPRS working using the above settings (I also had to add a proxy server of 212.183.137 - type - HTTP port 8799) but IE is now browsing the internet.
However when I try to connect to a imap mail account it just says connecting, then says failed to connect, check settings.
Does anyone with a vodafone account know if you're able to connect to a personal mail server?
Are there any more specific proxy settings?
(start -> settings -> connections -> manage exsiting connections -> proxy settings ->advanced)
Or any advice from someone who's been able to get this working.
Cheers
Matt
All Carrier UK Settings
I downloaded this from the HTC Site - It has the settings for all carriers...Maybe this will help.
Thanks tried this, but it has an APN of internet and these settings always give me the
'answering modem has disconnected error'
I used to get the sae error and then I called up Vodafone and told them. They reset the SIM from their side and things started working fine.
OK thanks for that. I'll just hand it over to my dad with GPRS working and see if he can get his sim card reset.
Cheers

Verizon 6900 No internet

I have a verizon 6900 that I updated using NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM and now I cannot get the internet to work. I went back to the factory 6.1 and was unable to even make calls, so I spoke with verizon and got the phone working but they were unable to get the internet working. I flashed the ROM with the WM6.5 1.00 again and ran a couple different provisions and I still cannot get the internet. Can someone please help.
Sorry it keeps asking for username and password.

VZW can tell you the user name and password its something simple like vzw3g or something. If you have that setup correctly you may be in the same boat im in. I can not connect to the internet. I did a hard reset some time back and lost the ability to data connect. I contacted the vzw techies who could not solve the problem, went into the store who could not solve the problem, went back to the "techs" on the phone who could not solve the problem. They all said it was my software which I think is bs. The problem is not my software because my phone tries to connect to their network and I have no known software issues. It has to be on the network end where the network wont recognize my phone. I quit working on the problem because I dont use data right now anyways and was on a pay as you go data plan so it was vzw's financial loss that i can not use data.
This fixed my Verizon Phone
1) dial ##778, enter in 000000 for the password
2) copy the ESN(Hex) Exactly how it is(you need the caps)
3) click View Info in the lower left corner and click M.IP Settings
4) Change MIP_MODE to Simple IP Only
5) Click View Info again and goto Security
6a) HDR AN AUTH User Id = [email protected] (fill the 5's with your 10-digit number)
6b) HDR AN AUTH Password = (Your ESN(Hex) With CAPS)
6c) PPP USER ID = [email protected] (Same as above)
6d) PPP PASSWORD = vzw
I left DUN log on blank
Change settings under
7) Click OK in the top right corner and save and reboot.
Goto Start->Settings->Connections->Connections
9) Click Manage existing connections
10) Select Alltel Wireless and click Edit...
11) Click Next in the lower right cornder until you get to the user name and password screen
12a) Username is [email protected] (Same as above)
12b) Password is vzw
13) Click Finish in the lower right corner
14) Enjoy verizon wireless internet!
Also make sure you update your PRL to an verizon one.
Go to M.IP Default Profile.

But know I cannot update my radio. This has been an issue since I unlocked my phone. I cannot get the bootloader to load from my 1 GB microSD. I am not sure what to do. XV 6900
I have had this problem for months now.I have tried everything possible. Called vzw i dunno how many time I dunno how many new A-keys I have had.I even tried these settings. Nothing seems to be workn.But who knows. Only way I can get internet on this phone is to manullay put my phone in 1x. which is way slow but it works
I got everything working great now. I ran the .40 unlocker and then flashed back to the factory ROM from HTC. I entered all of the setting back into the phone that I listed above and then flashed it again with the factory ROM. All of this put my phone back to factory. I then re flashed it with the 2.31 and was able to update radio and flash with the 6.5 ROM from SD card in phone.

Carrier Information: T-Mobile

Hey,
just for Information (I dont even know if this is the right place for this ^^):
If you think about activating your (german T-Mobile) Fire Phone - after activation the old (micro) SIM will be deleted.
But you can order an adapter to fit the nanoSIM into your old micro or normal SIM-Card-Slots.
Cheers,
Xerx
Update:
I tested my Fire Phone with a SIM today.
No luck: Phone calls work but mobile data wont acivate. So its pretty useless atm.
Trying to get this working.

I got the same issue on my FirePhone with Congstar (which still uses the T-Mobile network). I am using 3.5 because of root access.
My guessing is that Amazon implemented the UMTS/LTE frequencies - which are used outside the US - later on with Fire OS 3.6, which is the official one shipped on release in Europe.
As in my information 3.6 is the only OS version which contains the main european languages (they even broke some of their apps if you use them with non-US-accounts).
Could you provide info about on which Fire OS you're running?

Got it. I also found out about the workaround for this issue, thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56037652&postcount=57
The APN settings are just missing, to our luck it's nothing with the drivers as i mentioned before.
Setting up the APN for T-Mobile (others might work too, if you unlocked your phone):
1. Go to settings -> Mobile Network -> Select a mobile network operator(advanced).
2.Select "Access Point Names" -> "Add an Access Point Name"
3.Enter your network operators details, as for T-Mobile it goes:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: internet.t-mobile
proxy:
port:
username: t-mobile
passwort: tm
4.Save and activate the APN(you'll have to scroll down)
5.After a minute, the registration on the network should be complete and mobile networking now possible.
Ok nice. Will try it the next days thanks

I dont have a fire phone, but i was able to get good service coverage by using the attached apn config file (must be rooted; rename/replace the old one in /system/etc/ and reboot) using a tmobile sim in my verizon note 2; the file is from another thread here on xda and has APN data for most major carriers around the globe.
..curious if this works for this phone, as its a pretty good deal for an unlocked phone right now (was hoping to see more ROM developement when i came here though).
