[Q] 3G Not working after ICS upgrade - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently upgraded my Xperia Play version to 4.0.4 using Trueancestor's ICS ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210559
and LuPuS's kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
(LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img)
I don't know so much about all this so I sticked to a youtube video that shows how to do that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JqAPQHRxRY
Since I upgraded to that version my 3G isn't working when I'm on wifi everything works fine but when not on wifi nothing works like Google Store, Dolphin Browser, Sync etc...
(Although Maxthon browser and Whatsapp works fine so its probably not my network connection)
Maybe I did something wrong?
As I said I don't know much about kernels, ROMs and stuff so it might be a stupid problem
and easy words please..
Thanks in advance to all helpers!

Look up the APNs for your carrier and go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names
insert you APN info there and reboot

How?

where can I get my APN info?
sorry really don't know much
EDIT:
Fixed! I realized that my APN was an unknown one so I switched to the good one and it is now working good
Thank You!

[Q] mms fix for evo on cricket?

Does anyone have a mms fix for EVO on cricket...please point me in the right direction...don't mean to be a noob just need some assistance..thanks
Did you back up apn settings with apn backup app and then disk drive your phone and edit the backup apn.xml file and put your "[email protected]" then make sure you save it as is and disconnect drive from pc then open apn backup app and delete all apns and then click restore select the .xml you edited then save exit. Go grab the mms.zip and flash it through recovery menu. Better explained here.

Also if you installed that autoboot.apk to setup some features then rebooted your phone and cant get a connection on your internet try to uninstall the autoboot prog and reboot your phone it worked for me. Goodluck chuck.

I unfortunately have tried all of the fixes but none seem to work with AOSP
Though the wife's works just fine in fresh froyo with no tweaking.

I have never been able to get MMS working in AOSP on Cricket. I can do it in any Sense rom but the APN settings in AOSP never seem to stick or work correcty.
This is the one and only reason I'm still running a Sense rom. I want badly to run AOSP so I can link up a controller to my phone but I send and receive far too many pictures to give that capability up.

I hate sense. I'm all about the aosp. I emailed a supposed cricket flash master last month asking if he has a mms solution for aosp. He respond yes but when asked if he would mind sharing the replys stopped. After a month I emaild him again and got this "No, sorry. I am a developer that makes custom roms for cricket dealers (for sale only). I do not leak my own work. "
I call BS.
Well it looks like I got Picture messaging working on Deck's AOSP rom for my wife.

[ROM] CM9| 12.02.20 *By Epsylon*

Here is the latest update for CM9 pulled straight from the Defy forums CM9-NIGHTLY-120220-kobe.zip. No probelms now, I did have to just switch the radio band. To get it working find out your carriers frequency and go to Settings -> Advanced -> Baseband switcher and select the frequency like it from the list (I'm on At&t and use the Argentina RT 1900/850mhz baseband under Americas). Then of course you have to edit your apn to your carriers apn for data (Settings -> Wireless and networks -> more... -> mobile networks -> Access point names) the At&t apn is:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,mms,supl
Everything else:
Menu - Save
Screenshots in my older thread
Bugs, changelogs, GAPPS, ect in the ORIGINAL THREAD by adi4motion
if you like any of this, go to the thread above and thank Quarx, Epsylon, and the op of the thread.
**from now on, I wont update this, it's pointless. If you want a newer version that comes along, go to the ORIGINAL THREAD by adi4motion, download the newer version and move all contents (from the rom on THIS thread) in /system/ect/motorola to /system/ect/motorola of the newer version. If the camera ever gets fixed for the Defy (fully fixed) this will probably change, maybe Quarx will even help us with CM9 by then.
Thanks! So the camera is working now?

The only only problem I'm facing with it that I've never had before is that I can't get the mobile phone/data (the phone radio) to work whatsoever. If you think you can fix it download it and see what you can do! Thanks.

What working and whats not?
I downloaded this build some days ago from defy forums (quarx build), I changed nothing because this does not contain devtree, boot etc *.img.
Maybe signal is having problems because it is set to hong kong or something like that, change it in baseband switcher in advanced settings.
I always use China ME722 1.10 850/1900/2100
Try it!

You need 40 dollars, and I'll send you the phone Quarx. He will help us make optimized firmware. Everything in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490953
Bravomotorola, have you used the BROWSER? I think that because of lack of 3D acceleration the browsing is not perfect.
I cant even watch flash content on youtube or any online movies.
I hope they solve it soon!

On the latest Quarx nightly, I didn't have copy the /system/etc/motorola/, only had to do the apn fix. Not sure about Epsylon's nightlies, haven't tried one since the ass end of February.

Does any one know how to get the wifi to work?

Did you install as primary or as multiboot? If multiboot, do a nandroid and install as primary. I've had "bugs" on multiboot that weren't there when installed as primary.
Other than that, not sure. Check the defy threads to see if they have wifi issues. That said, I've glitches (USB tethering) and didn't see anything about it over at defy dev.
Speculating here, but it could be the slight differences between the defy/bravo are starting to show up as the code matures.

Has anyone tried to replace camera file on new ics version?
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
Yes. Multiple times. One file at a time. All the files at once. Changing camera apks. Nothing works. Apparently, ICS has a new hardware framework, and that requires new libraries and new drivers; and those require a skilled programmer. All we can really do is wait for Quarx to get his Bravo and help him bug test when he does. Wish I could say better.
That said, it doesn't hurt to try. Maybe you'll have better luck than myself or anyone else whose attempted.

Alternative?

I was in love with CM9 RC2, it did everything I wanted. Couldn't ask for more........until...I realized it does not support MMS and I NEED TO SEND AND RECEIVE PICTURE MESSAGES! Onto my actual question though. What custom rom supports all features? I'm looking for a good stable rom that supports all the features my phone is capable of. Verizons 2.3.3 isn't bad but the interface is crap. That's why I "Liked" CM9 RC2. So yeah If anyone could list an all around, all feature working rom it would be much appreciated. Also feel free to list a kernel if you feel as if certain roms perform better with a specific one.
P.S. I don't want an overclocked CPU. I'm fine at the 1Ghz.
-Thanks

Does anyone have a specific rom in mind? One they can verify that all features work. (MMS, camera, speaker volume, data etc...)?
All of the CM9 roms and the CM9 based roms support MMS , you need to manually put in the APN settings using the Voice Dialer. Every CDMA rom has data, camera, text and mms (with apns), and speaker phone.
This link will show you the correct APN settings for Verizon to send/receive MMS

Are you positive this works? Because I had everything else working on this rom EXCEPT for picture messaging (MMS) and if I switch back I need to know for sure it will support it.
It does support mms, I'm on it now. I saw this thread and laughed (no offense. I was new once too)

I would go back and check your settings, verify you typed everything in correctly, make sure to hit menu and save the apn settings and after saving be sure to select/tick the circle on the apn to enable it . If its not working then you made a mistake somewhere.

It's working now, I went to another website and did things similar to what you said, but when I hit "save" the Verizon name was no longer there. I was about to give up then all my pic messages went thru! It's now fully working I can probably re find the link if anyone is interested.

No Data on cm10

Hi all Got a little issue here running cm10 just flashed from ics looks great runs smooth great job guys but here is the problem no data? I have my epic 4g touch flashed to metro pcs I went thru the instructions several times have wiped everything started over numerous times but still no data. The icons don't come on or anything. At this point I am stuck I have pretty good knowledge on how things work around here if someone can take a moment and point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. I saw another post on no data on cm9 and claims doing a nandroid back up from previous rom then flashing the restoring works but that did not work either was very brief in what he had done so description wasn't very clear. So that I can get a good reply this is exactly what I have at this point: SPH-d710 phone Android ver.4.1.1 Baseband Fh23 Kernel ver. #.).15-cm-g4471ee1 [email protected]#1 CyanogenMod 10-20120901-unofficial-d710 Flashed metro pcs with everything working talk txt web mms. Again Thank you all for any help in this matter these guys do some great stuff and would like to use this software. Keep up the great work guys.
To get data working on non-TW ROMs you have to replace a few files in the ppp folder. I don't have the Metro PCS files though, I only have the Cricket files

Sorry for the REALLY late reply.
This is the thread that lead me in the right direction: http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-samsung-galaxy-sii-epic-4g-touch/32209-web-cm9.html
And this is the post with the flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22162851&postcount=10
It says it works for "alternate carriers" but I'm on Cricket so I'm not sure if it'll work for Metro PCS. You can give it a shot though. Let me know how it goes.
Trying it now thanks will keep you posted on what my findings are thanks again for the pointer fingers crossed.
Was a no go thanks tho hopefully one of the developers will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks again
Maybe look through this thread? (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-evo-all-info-here-rom-metrogenmod-7-1-a.html)
Edit: You could try the AOSP web script from this thread also (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182)
I have the exact same problem but am now on blue kuban for the same reason... if you find a solution let us know i might try cm10 again
I will do some research and update you all on the outcome thanks again for the info
Ok looks like I may have to go into qpst and edit my internet settings but have ran into a snag on cm10 cant get the program to recognize the phone if I could get it to pick up the phone then I can reedit the settings for my data to work but like I said at a snag. Will update as soon as I can figure it out or something changes on the rom to access the modem. Any help would be appreciated.
just flashed cm10 will try something out also after thursday when i have time after school

SOLVED flashed the zip on Paranoidandorid 4.1.1 works like a charm thank you your awsome have a nice day :laugh:
Found a answer
Ok boys and girls I found the stepping stones to how to make this work now mind you I am still working on it. This is what I have done thus far I went to playstore downloaded apn shortcut as soon as it hits your home screen you can click on it and change your apn settings to whatever carrier you are on then I went to my dialer and typed as follows *#*#4636#*#* this opens a window if you scroll down some you will see it say something other than cdma what you want there is auto cdma (prl) as soon as I did this the data came on now Im not in a good signal area but it came on it only showed 1x tho I do not know if that is because of my area. If anyone can test that and let me know we might have made progress and if I am doing something wrong feel free to tell me what it is. Again any help in this matter is greatly appreciated and if this helps don't forget to say thanks lots of long nights trying to figure this out. :good:
Ok figured out
Finally success the only issue is I'm only getting 1x I flashed the alternative carrier fix then I went to the dailer and typed in *#*#4636#*#* then scrolled down and changed the setting to cdma prl auto and data started working so now Im trying to get answers on 3g coming on sorry took so long to figure out Im still learning myself if you guys need the link I can post it if necessary. Also when you go in and change the setting to cdma prl auto you mayhave to click it a couple times for it to stick it may change itself to unknown just click it againg to cdma prl auto again til you get the data going and then it will stick. If this helps don't forget to say thanks
Lol didn't realize we were on page two didn't see your post I guess my question now is is your 3g working?

Google anycut apk download google boost settings for there apns or search forums ive seen a few open anycut create apn short cut change apns to the boost ones you found save reboot. If you have issues pm me will help you til you get it right like I have done with many others.
If I have helped in any way dont forget to say thanks and most important for forget the developers
