I'm not sure if I flashed the rom correctly, but I'm confident I did. Thing is I was able to reprogram my phone's MDN, MSID so the voice part of the phone works. But now I'm trying to surf the web, it dials #777 normally, shows that I'm connected and even shows the Ev icon, but I just can't load any kind of website. I'm using DCD's new rom that's compatible with the new radio. Anyone else having this kind of problem? I called up sprint and they told me to "Get Settings" for my Internet through my services tab, but this rom doesn't have the Internet service option available . So has any sprint user found a way around this or do I just need to wait for a new rom?

[Edit]
Silly me, it seems like I loaded an Alltel rom instead of the Sprint rom. Well I flash the sprint rom from dcd instead and now got the Internet option within my Services tab. Hit Start IOTA and viola! my powervision is working again! Now to play with the new GPS...
get settings
i think what they meant was go to settings, personal, phone. then in the phone settings, go to the Services tab, then highlight Internet. click the Get Settings button underneath that window, and then click Start. it should inform you its starting an IOTA, then give it a minute or two. it will show IOTA on the taskbar at the top to the left of the EV icon. if that completes ok, try loading a page then.
Mine has all the correct info in the phone and always goes to dial up... I have to revert back to the HTC's default rom for everything to work.
I'm trying to figure out the same problem. When I push the Start button to try to initiate the IOTA, nothing happens. I don't get any IOTA icon in the title bar at all. I've posted about it on PPCGeeks too, but still no answers.

I meant, I don't even get the Internet option in my services tab with the rom I'm using. Therefor no IOTA for me.
Mine is halfway working. It only gets up to 1x speed. Intially would say EV but once I'm connected it drops to 1x. Now even when I go back to 2.16 I can't get EVDO anymore. Used to work. Not sure what happened. Maybe just a concidence my phone happen to break at the same time.

hi guys,
so far i've tried with DCD custom rom 2.0 and radio 3.27 and also with the leaked sprint version and i cannot get the GPS to work " i'm a Sprint User". i've tried in different spots in NYC: Bronx and Manhattan and GPS doest work at all. REV A is great i got 1.2 D/L and 450 U/L. is there anything else that i should be looking at beside phone settings--> locations settings?
thanks in advanced guys and DCD thanks for the custom roms, you're awesome!!
EDIT: am i the only one who's GPS feature is not working??

LOL that's a good one but i've already tried it from the roof of a 52 floors building in downtown manhattan. and nothing if i tried to use the sprint telenav it tells me that the GPS signal is to low, to make sure is turned on by going to phone settings-->location settings-->Network-->GPS, that location doesnt exist on my phone. any suggestions.
Freezing cold up in there by the way!!!
I live in NYC too and was having this problem also....just put the phone in ur window with Google maps running...it took about 45mins before it calibrated and found a satellite the first time. But now it works very fast.
Also make sure under system ---> external GPS you have "GPS Program port" on Com4

i've done that, first time i left it over night, and nothing happened and every setting should be as it is suppose to. but again i'll try it, thanks
try this
i live in nyc and it didnt work until i went into settings and turned off my location then it found me in like 2 seconds
I'm in NYC as well.. Chelsea area.
My XV6800 had the location setting (Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > Location Setting) turned to 911 Only. I set it to Location On and GPSViewer started seeing satellites but could not get a fix. I performed a hard reset (Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage ) on the device and it got a fix in 35 seconds. Now I get a fix immediately.
w00t! Time to try GPSGate to see if it will let me use Garmin Mobile XT

You need to download gpsinfo.exe, and run it, opening com4 at 9600. See if it shows you moving gps nmea data. If so, it's working, leave it be for awhile to get a fix. If not, you have a problem with your rom/phone/settings...

Using GPSINFO.exe it shows me some red dots with numbers inside. that is when you start gpsinfo.exe and go to GPS INFO Tab. so what that means??
edit:it showed me some greens a couple of times.
alright so i installed gpsinfo.exe and the hardware itself seems to be working because it gives me red and green dots, but it doesnt seem to attach ot get a fix one, any suggestions?
So in the setup tab does it scroll data? if so your hardware is fine, leave it sit in a good area outdoors (or somewhere with a un-obstructed view of the sky) for about 10 minutes. It should get a fix (some of the circles in the other tab will turn blue). What are the signal levels you are getting in that tab?

GPS stopped locking altogether
Anybody elses GPS just stop working? Haven't been able to get any locks since yesterday even when out driving around. Only known change yesterday was installing HTC Home Plug and Customizer 0.8. Tried soft reset, manual IOTA, ##debug# and googlemaps. All no help. Any clues?

I recently upgraded my XV6800 to DCD's 2.3.2 ROM and Radio 3.27.00, and now my radio takes 17+ minutes to acquire a cellular signal. This can't be normal. So, once I did get a signal, I dialed *228 option 2, but that didn't fix it. I also re-entered my MSID and MDN from ##778. Nothing seems to be fixing my issue. Any suggestions?
-Randy
Why would you use 2.3.2 and radio 3.27 when you could upgrade to 3.0.4 and radio 3.37.20? Radio 3.27 is a beta radio that was leaked and is very unreliable and buggy. I could see not upgrading to 3.0.4 and 3.37.20 maybe if you didn't care about GPS or RevA, in which case you could use 1.7.0...but 2.3.2 is a GPS rom, so why wouldn't you use the official WM 6.1 3.0.4 rom with the official latest radio?
Yeah dude, get with the program. If you are going to update your rom (i.e. hack your phone) anyway, why not go with the latest.
Go here and follow the instructions closely. You wont look back.
Okay, loaded the Sprint ROM to get the radio, then loaded the VZW version of DCD's 3.0.4.
Looked in Device Info and it shows ROM version: dcd 3.0.4 and Radio version: 3.35.04
Still having the exact same problem. It's taking 15+ minuted to acquire a cellular signal.
And yes, I have plenty of reception here. I have tried it in numerous areas actually, where I know I get full reception.
There's a whole thread devoted to this right here somwhere...
You need to do the following:
phone app, dial *22803 or *22802 (whichever one gets you a signal) and hit phone hang-up when you get a signal and it says it's starting to program. Now that you have a signal do the next step.
phone app, dial ##778
select "EDIT" and enter the 000000 unlock code
select "VIEW INFO" and select "M.IP Settings"
Edit MIP_MODE and change to something else, then go back and change it again back to "Mobile IP Preferred".
Do the smae for MIP reg retried, retry timeout and pre-registration timeout.
Change all the values, ok, then change them again back to the original setting.
Settings are: Mob IP Pref, 2 retries, 1750ms retry timeout, 0 pre-reg timeout.
When you're all done save and exit - soft-resets your phone.
You should be good after this.
Good luck!

Any way to thank you on here like you can on ppcgeeks?
wait... didnt work lol
looked like it was working, rebooted, LED started blinking, signal bar was up and EVDO icon was showing, went to sent a text message, and it failed, said there was no signal. rebooted, then back to what it was doing before, signal bar has a "..." under it and it just keeps searching till it acuires a signal 15 minutes later.
holy crap.... it's working now. i have no idea what the hell is goin on. i did a soft reset like 3 times and it's still working, so i'm not worried about it.

Yeah, I've done it about 4-5 times now and the instructions are from memory, so the exact sequence may or may not be exactly correct, but since you've got it working you should be fine.
You may or may not run into this again if you do another ROM update in the future. The Sprint ROM update did NOT mess me up, but some of the following updates for DCD's rom have had this happen. Not all the time though. You should be able to hard reset (I think) w/out this happening and definitely you're good for soft resets.
It's like something in the settings is getting changed, but not such that when you open the EPST settings that they are different... when you go and modify the values and resave them, they get written back to where they need to be.
If you look unter Titan on PPCGeeks I think you'll find a couple threads on this issue. It seems to be a VZW thing I think.
Also - there is a thread somewhere about where you can download the latest PRL to update your phone. I never did that, but probably should.

hmmm if you find that thread, let me know! because i think after going through your process to to fix my signal acquisition problem, if I do a *228 opt 2 to update the PRL, it will mess up my signal acuisition again. So if I can manually download the latest PRL, that would be sweet.
OMG this worked for me too! I've been looking for a fix for this for two months. I found a workaround by d/l an old outdated prl from corolada.com but it was a non-nationwide PRL. Did the above fix and I've got a signal again with the latest PRL! Thanks guys!

ok, anyone??? i tried *228 option 1, to get my data back, but it didnt work and when it restarted i had no signal again, so i redid the abov step, sgot my signal back so i can make and receive calls, but still no data, back where i was a minute ago, so how do i get the data back without losing my signal again?? i know if i call the verizon rep he will want me to try *228 and option 1, which will lose my signal, but of course he will say no it wont, so what do i need? just the A Key? or what? how do i call up and just get that without them trying to do all the other steps...cause i have one of the older xv8600 that clears some settings like the akey when you do a hard reset (i know some do that and some dont), so what do i need to fix my data without re-losing my signal?
-thanks
SOLUTION!
ok this worked for me just takes the right combination and order of events.
so if you have no data or calls or a combination of one or the other - go ahead and call verizon, tell them you got cut off right before they rep was going to give you the Authentication key, they will give it to you, restart, this will still show no signal and no data...dont worry. now follow the ##778 steps above, and when you restart you will have both calls and data
-connor
Just in case anyone checks this (I had to after I flash to a stock ROM and back to a DCD ROM and do the MIP settings again), here is the link to manually download PRLs
http://www.corolada.com/prl/
Now, I was going to download an updated PRL manually, but I just did *228 (on Verizon) and it actually gave me a more updated version than is currently on that website, so you might try that before manually updating the PRL

Follow A lazy Dude suggestion. You will need to install Arcsoft. I have VZW and that takes care of the issue and gives you threaded SMS/MMS as well.
Thanks they worked. Now i have a problem with the GPS. i installed the new radio version and everything but for somereason no GPS program will pick it up. i tried using google maps and Quick GPS. In order to use the GPS does wifi need to be off? If so then that means i have to use data which will cost me since i have no plan.

Do this for GPS.... Set the phone to 911 only. Then soft-reset. Then switch it back to Location on... and soft reset. Also, do a *228 , 1 OR *22899 and let the phone re-program / soft reset. Let me know if that helps.

Have you tried a hard reset? and don't install anything else.
no but i would prefer not too. Ive already done a bunch of hard resets and i finally have my phone where i want it. it would just suck to have to redo it all again.
Also my wifi isnt working. It keeps saying i have the incorrect network key when i know its right. its the same one im using on my laptop and it works fine. maybe i will have to hard reset.
these are my installed programs. Could these be messing anything up?
AIM
Oxios Memory
Quick GPS
Total COmmander
WMminibattery
HTC Home Plugin
HTC home customizer
PHM RegEdit
Pim Backup
and then i also have the verizon carrier cab, Cody ppc performance, GC arcsoft Mobile.
When i start up my phone it always says "the file 'Program' coul not be found or it is not signed with a trusted certificate. Try reinstalling the software." BUt i dont even know what its looking for.
Maybe i should hard reset But is there any of those programs i shouldnt put back onto my phone?

Becasue i noticed you have the GPS fix but you also have a differen radio version than i do.
i just tried that fix and it still doesnt seem to be working. anything i can do? should i reinstall the radio or do anything different?
Im thinking about hard restaring the phone again but when i do that should i change the ROM or radio? Also any reason for the wifi not to be accepting the network key?
i just did a hard reset and only put google maps on to see if it would work and still not working. do i need a different radio? when i go to google maps and click on my location it says your handset does not seem to support the my location feature. Am i doing it wrong? Am i supposed to click on somthing different rather than my location?

There should be use GPS link on that menu. Click on that and it will start up the GPS and find your position. The default settings for the GPS in Google is to let windows manage it and it should turn it on if all is working.
Having intermittent problems with my mobile internet and was wondering if it was the phone, other users or just plain crap signal.
Have anything between 2 to 5 bars here, hsdpa symbol on constantly but for some reason it occasionally gets stuck on the upload arrow and then the data connection freezes and wont come back on til I toggle mobile network or airplane mode.
Phone is running modaco 2.2c and latest radio on T-Mobile UK.
Hi. Been lurking around since I got my Hero, and thought it was about time I signed up to this excellent forum.
I was having exactly the same problem. Didn't know whether it was a problem with the Hero or the network/signal. I noticed that the APN settings on my Hero were different to the t-mobile site. I read around a bit and tried a few combinations of settings and eventually got it sussed.
Go to t-mobile.co.uk
Hover over "Help & Support" at the top and click "Phone Support". Click "Make the most of your mobile" and choose the G2.
Click on "Set up the phone for internet surfing" and enter the details shown there exactly in a new APN on your Hero.
The only change to those details is the password should be "pass".
This is the only APN setting i have tried that doesn't give me the original problem. Now I can browse without the 3g signal getting "stuck"
I'm using an unlocked Hero - completely stock btw.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
I've been having this very problem. That's good information, I'll give it a try.
Seems to work well. Here's the link.
thanks for pointing me there.
k i altered my settings, will test it thru day see if it improves.
Ooh, seems to be working so far. Seems I owe you a beer. Lol.

I was prompted to update my S2 to 4.1.2 yesterday, and I did.
All seemed to be working fine until today, out an about, when there was no 3G connection at all. My limit is well below my cap etc... I just cannot get a 3G connection at all. I checked that data is on, all the menu's seem correct (i.e. Mobile Data on, Network mode auto).
I have gone in to the Network operators menu and tried both Auto and EE, but neither give me a 3G connection.
My contract is with Orange, but have had the EE network on my phone for a while now (changed automatically a while back). I'm not sure if that could be an issue.
Also, shortly after the update, a menu popped up just as I was touching something else. I accidentally just clicked an option and it went away. I can't be sure, but I believe that I selected the other option from "Orange", it might have just been some combination of letters which I didn't recognise, but I think the option that I didn't click was "Orange". Is this the mistake? How do I get to that menu?
Thanks.

Maybe the update changed the modem.Try going back to ICS (not 4.0.4!) 4.0.3.If this works,then I recommend to go with ICS.If it still does't work,then try flashing different modems.

I haven't rooted my phone. It just updated normally via a prompt.
Problem Solved
I rang Orange customer support, and my issue was quickly solved. I'll share the solution, incase anybody else has the issue.
Basically, the issue was that menu which I accidentally clicked after the update. I clicked "LIFE" rather than "Orange UK". So, you just need to go to your mobile network menu, find "Access Point Names" and then hit the menu button and reset them, and choose Orange.
