1st issue after official Mango update

Hi to all,
I have just officially Mango updated my LG Optimus 7 four days ago. Overall I'm very pleased with this new OS version, despite that in my country (Mexico) some services don't work yet (bing vision, artist art in lock screen, turn by turn navigation with bing maps app, etc.).
I started to think that WP 7.5 was almost perfect, until i discovered a 3G connection issue that didn't have before. Since yesterday I have noted that sometimes my 3G connection doesn't work after i turn it on: the 3G logo doesn't appear near to to the signal bars and, of course, i can not navigate in internet using internet explorer. I also found that this issue gets temporary fixed if i reboot the phone.
Using the search tool in this great forum, i've found that very few people had this same or similar issue , but it was before Mango update!. Since it appears that nobody got a solution at all (other than rebooting the phone or turning on-off airplane mode), i would like to know if anybody here have had this issue after Mango update and if there is a better solution than rebooting.
Thanks in advance for your help, have a nice day and keep enjoying this wonderful new OS.
P.S. Sorry for any writing misspell, English is not my native language

Hi, I was in Mango before and now i have received the official update as well. I also saw that the Bing search page does not fit the screen and also does not contain the bing audio to identify songs. Does it happen to you as well? Regards and thanks

reseat yr sim card if u have connection issues...

Castrow,
The bing screen fits well on my phone, however, i don't have bing audio service too. I hope this feature (and others) to be available soon on our countries.
Magpir,
Thank you very much, i'll try your suggestion, maybe it's the sim card altough i never had this problem until i upgraded to Mango version.
I'll post again if this solution works.
Best regards,

I had this issue in the past, until the NoDo Update was released!
After NoDo, ISSUE SOLVED! Internet connection outside Wifi perfect, and it managed perfectly. BBBUT
Now mango is launched! WTF! The problem is here again! After mango, the 3G connection is wooooooooorrse! Who else feel the same situation? Anyone that felt, could solve it somehow? It seems that drivers are not updated, I don't know. Please, don't say that it may be my Carrier! IT IS NOT! =)
Let's find together the solution guys!

Hi ralex3000,
Let me tell you that i've followed the Magpir's suggestion and it has worked at least during a day. I haven't used the 3G connection very much but i can tell you that every time i turned it on, always had a clean and quick connection.
This is what i did:
1.- Turned off the phone and pulled out the sim card.
2.- Turned on the phone without the sim card. (Why?, eerr...i don't know!)
3.- Turned off the phone again and reinstalled the sim card.
4.- Finally, turned on the phone.
Please let us know if it worked for you. I'will update if anything else occurs (i hope not).
Regards

i don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but:
when the phone's ringing, you can hang up by pressing the volume rocker up or down.

Bad news guys, the issue appeared again, so reseating the sim card is not a solution.
I'll keep searching forward.

I'll try to test the bug/feature that you are experiencing, it must be a feature, maybe we should go to the official wp7 page to learn more about it.
Best regards

is your optimus sim unlocked? i have some issues in my sammy focus, and to fix it, i just enable ADC flag , reboot the phone and all works fine. Here is a thread to made this in LG Optimus 7

bing voice

i found that by doing this the battery indicator act funny, before puling out thhe sim card i had like 9% battery, after turning on the phone without the sim, i had like 31% battery. WTF?...IS the sim card imposing a parasitic load on to the battery? like constantly searching??
inserted the sim card, now have 31% battery

WOW, I tried your fix and my TWS went from 52% as well down to 0% last night. My battery, which previously drained >30% while I slept, now only drained about 9%. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I think you may have found the fix.
Now for a more permanent solution... Do you think we should contact Samsung about this?

I don't have the problem with the 3G connection on my LG Optimus 7, but other than mails and some random search I don't really use the data connection too often to assure that I don't have the problem.

When I had the same problem on my omnia 7 I solved changing my Network Operator and then resetting it. To do that Samsung has an app called Network Profile.

[Q] T-989 - No data network. Mobile Network State: Disconnected

Hi there. I own an unlocked, rooted t 989 Samsung Galaxy SII which I bought in the US. I recently moved to the Netherlands, and got a new simcard with Vodafone. The problem: I can't get my data to work.
I have tried (almost) everything, so prepare for a read. Here's the list:
- Sim card is fine, I tried it in a old phone and 3G pops up instantly
- Rebooted, pulled battery, turned mobile connections on/off, handpicked network, etc, etc, all the basics.
- Got the APN settings from Vodafone. Tried them manually, resetted them, automatically, turned it on, turned it off.
- Going online through Wifi works.
- Under settings-Status it reads under Mobile Network State: Disconnected. But I know that the phone detects the network correctly. It can distinguish between UMTS and GPRS here.
- So there seems to be no trouble with the phone being incompatible with the network. I read online that other people had NO trouble using their T989 in Europe.
- I tried inserting my old American pre paid T mobile sim card and turn roaming on. No luck.
- A lot of other people with the same problem tried to link it to Easy Battery Saver. I tried updating, uninstalling and going into its settings to find out what it could be, but nothing.
The last thing I can still try is to factory reset, unroot and try to get the phone to its most original state and see what it does. But before I triple wipe all my contacts, pictures, apps, etc, I want to make sure I did absolutely everything to try and fix this beforehand. Being a noob here, I can't post any links but I trust you I tried.
The people at Vodafone are of no help whatsoever. I hope you geniuses could help me any further.
[Edit] And sorry for posting this in General Chat. If a mod could move my question to Q&A I'd be most thankful..!

I am having the exact same damn problem! it started with being unable to send a simple text message yet having data. now it says it is searching forever

Try flashing a different radio/modem then an american one?

@decko5 Nice to see I'm not the only one, but that doesn't help us yet .
@doug36 Besides the fact that I'm running a stock ROM that should be compatible with no issues, I'm not sure how I'd do that. I can flash a separate part of the kernel? That sounds like a very tricky thing to do.

It's actually pretty easy. You can flash most radios via ClockworkMod Recovery. I couldn't find any threads with a list of Galaxy S-II radios here on XDA, but I found one over at RootzWiki for you. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2725-radio-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-radios-updatezip-updated-20-aug-2011/
Just find the corresponding one to your geographical location and carrier (Google is your friend) and follow the steps.
Good luck and hope it helps!
(p.s. you should definitely look to see which radio you currently have so that you can download a backup of it before you go flashing radios.)

Thanks for that very helpful post! I've raped and butchered Google, but I'm still having trouble finding out which modem I should download. There seem to be so many and the post on RootzWiki gives no guidance to which is which. Any wisdom on this? I'm in the Netherlands, so Western Europe, on a Vodafone network.
By the way. I fully wiped my phone and installed Team Kang's Juggernaut 5.. No luck, same problem. What I found really, really weird is that it was instantly in Dutch. (Which is ok, I speak Dutch) But I don't remember ever selecting a language. How does it know? Besides, I'd rather have it in English .
What I did find out is that I'm still using a old firmware, UVKID, instead of UVKL1. So I'm restoring back to my previous ROM and trying to update. I'll see what happens. If that doesn't work, I'm going to restore my phone to stockest of the unrooted stocks and try and update.
If that doesn't work, I'll have no option but to send the phone to T-mobile.
I'll try the modem update as soon as I understand what I'm doing . But it does sound promising. Thank you so much for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,
I've updated my firmware to UVKL1, still no luck. Anybody who can tell me which radio I should try on this Vodafone network in the Netherlands?

I am from India and had faced this similer issue with many of my android phones specially with captivate and infuse.......Here what i always did to connect data network.
Just uncheck the use packet data network box in mobile network settings and try to move out from that area (say u are in ur office and going back home) and check the data in settings.
This thing has worked for me always, I don't knw if its related to the OS or to the network provider but this has helped.
Have u tried any other network sim card on ur phone ?

An update for other people that might be looking for a solution in the future. It turns out to be a clear Vodafone problem. I tried a different simcard from a different network (both T-mobile Netherlands and KPN), and they instantly worked without any trouble.
I went back to a different Vodafone store in Amsterdam, and they were much more helpful than the first one. The sales guy told me he had seen the same problem with AT&T iPhones on the Vodafone network.
I called Vodafone, and they have been very nice to me. But they haven't found a solution yet and are looking into it. They see me registering to the network, granting me access, but still my data doesn't work. They've also told me that they will let me cancel my contract for no cost if they don't find a solution.
So problem remains unsolved, but at least there's some light at the end of the tunnel. I was close to buying a new 500 dollar phone... Americans going to Europe: Beware with getting a Vodafone simcard. Sorry to the Vodafone guys, but as for now, that's the status.

So to give closure to this issue (I always hate it when people fix their problem without telling the interwebs..)
IT WORKS!
After an initial terrible experience at the Vodafone counter, the headquarter tech guys have really been great to me. So it is indeed a Vodafone problem. American phones always give them a headache. They don't know what causes the problem exactly, but they do have a fix. It turns out that when logging on to the data network, American phones (AT&T iPhones, my T989 SGsII, and some other Android devices) sent some gibberish along that make the Vodafone server go cuckoo.
The solution was, miraculously, to sign me up (for free!) to the WiFi hotspot service that Vodafone provides, and then logging on to a different APN, being: office.vodafone.nl in my case.
Hope this helps anyone who's having similar issues.

ok the issue here is that some of the t989 are vodafone and some are USA network , now the other solution is that you flash with command prompt which there is a link to that tool im going to upload from the link i got it from . its also a clockrecoverymod , but this 1 asks you for deleting data user on the device and also resets the network includes USA/overseas though if your not customed roms
or any hacked roms , after flashing this device your basically removing any unwanted apps and cache that are hidden during network searching will be fixed bugs , put the simcard in slot but make sure that is a 3G/4G accounts, than its going to reboot the device automatically , it should be searching for service and also will be a circle with a slash on it where the service bar usually is , just wait about 1/2 hour to an hour maximum time let it do its thing , ok whats happening now to the phone is that is thinking with android network with usa and overseas market apps comparing both carriers network also gets the proper address for the custom rom or original kernel, froyo either 1 will get the correct network address and / VPN / and also will be adding both T-mobile/AT&T choose T-mobile dont go for AT&T cause it will research network configuration plus the phone its not unlocked for both its just a network passby to get correct WPN/VPN/clockworkrecoverymod .

Where is an fix?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

@#11 That reads like gibberish to me
@#12 I think I posted a fairly extensive report on how I fixed this...?

Wierd internet problem

Hi all,
So I've bought the new LG Optimus G today and tried to install internet on it, but after using a guide on my providers website, it still will not work. I filled in a VPN network exactly as they say, but then I have to select it, something which is shown on the guide, but isn't possible on my phone. Maybe that might be the problem? I have updated the phone completely.
Thanks

My first OP device (OP3), can I check a few things with the Comm

Hey folks
This is the first OP device Ive ever used (OP3).. I bought it BNIB (used once and sold on), but it can from a 2nd hand / Trade in store, Ive looked online but some websites are conflicting between 3000 and 3003 so..
The device model is an A3003.. and Im in UK .. is this the right region?,, I ask because it has 2 sims.. and the UK dont support dual sim yet.
Ive posted my device info.. is it all ok.. and is my device an Unbranded stock UK rom:
Thanks all

A3000 is the Chinese specific version.
A3003 is the EU/Asia/India version
So everything okay i think

Yes everything is fine i am in the UK too and dual Sims are allowed on every major carrier my device is also the a3003 so nothing to worry about

Thanks for the help.. Appreciated.. Im really enjoying it.. It was actually between the 3 and the 3T, but I was going to have to put another £70 for a 3T,,, Im a light to moderate user.. the 3k battery is fine and have no interest in selfies, so I thought ide put that cash towards a GTX 1060 instead
Can I ask, 703 looks like the latest UK rom, which my 3 updated via OTA when i first connected to wifi, but Ive read theres 710 (7.1.1) available if I setup a VPN to canada or germany.. Im not sure what this means?.,

If you want android 7.1.1 then download opera VPN from the play store and change your location to Germany it's easy really there will be a list of countries that you can change to so just select Germany then minimise the app and check for updates you should get a update for android 7.1.1

Thanks alot Xceeder, got that, much appreciated... Can I add.. as soon as the download starts, re-open Opera and disconnect from the VPN... as its agonisingly slow through VPN... but disconnect and the 351MB download in seconds, then do a full factory reset/cache wipe via Recovery to remove VPN and return to your region (UK for me) and all is good again
Thanks

Changing the language..

Hi guys/girls,, I bought a galaxy watch a few months back from eBay, brand new.
I was told it was a UK version, but typically once I received it, the box said Bulgaria or somewhere on the label, but as it was a good price and unopened I didn't complain (even though I specifically asked if it was the UK version!), as its possible to change the language on the initial startup screen. So that's what I did, and all has been fine since, great watch, very pleased.
I have never updated the firmware, so still on original factory ROM etc.
Thing is, I read somewhere that since Samsung has released the new updates, the icon has disappeared on Startup where you select the language. So I have never updated due to worrying that the watch will be stuck in Bulgarian.
Is there any chance that someone running the latest update could do a reset to see if the change language option is still there? I've been through all the settings and I can't find anywhere to change the language (I don't need to yet as I haven't updated, but just having a look)..
Thanks .

Mine was similar to yours and I received a Portuguese version instead of a UK, after I changed the settings to UK my language setting disappeared as well.
But what I understand is that from now on your watch will use the same language setting that is on your phone.
Now this is just a guess, but I would presume that after you have updated your watch the language setting should still reflex the same setting as your phone.

OK thanks for the fast reply, but yes that's also what I have read, that the watch reflects your phones language.. Was just hoping that someone could confirm this for sure before I try as I doubt its possible to downgrade if it went wrong

Well in case anyone is wondering, ive updated and is still in English..
