Why data doesn't work during phone calls? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I used to use data such as checking Facebook, web and endgadet when I was talking with my gf! On speakermode, but after custom roms installation like bionix or fusion I can't use it anymore, it seems data connection doesn't work during phone calls. Does anyone have the same problem?

Data has always worked during phone calls for me, no matter what tweaks I have applied to the phone.
It also worked on my older Sony Ericsson TM506 and an older Samsung SPH A900 on Sprint and also an even older Samsung that I don't even remember the model numder of.
I'd say it's either a phone setting or the local tower that is causing your problem (and I'd weight that towards the local tower).

I got the same thing, getting service not available.
I wonder if it is an artifact of JI2 modem

Yep looks like ji2 modem flashed ji6 and data is back while on the call
Just updated the Bionix thread - looks like a bug with JI2 modem, and not the ROM.

i am still on eclair stock updated rom..
i am sure it wont hurt trying it bro
Ive had **** gps since 2.2 and in a matter of minutes this app got me 100%...and its raining here so i only went to the window to get signal. DEF recommend trying this.
Installed this (running Bionix Final R1) and it... didn't really do anything. Locks are still incredibly iffy, happening only if I have a very clear view of the sky with absolutely no obstructions. Getting a position fix inside a building is a complete non-starter, just like before.
Thank gods I don't use the GPS much.
So far works very good, I still have to leave the location o am at to try more testing but so far so good.

thats because it only works on the SGH-T959 and SGH-I897, does not work on a GT-I9000, since Macnut R12 has the model number as GT-I9000 it wont work on that either.
We can also extract the apk and get what's inside to take a look into what is beeing done. Please provide an APK
Here you go
I noticed something with this app. In GPS test it can only see me at 20~30 BUT the lbs test says 5~10. Weird, anyways I will post a pic of my locks when I get a chance. So far it locks on spot on and its really accurate.
*edit* Works with my Axura froyo rom!!!!
*edit again* I will also compare the before and after with my friends phone.

ok, best lock so far.
that said, after first run, it finished and put me about 100miles off.
but after reboot i ran "gps test" for 5 mins, and it found 1 more sat, total now at 13, using 9-11.
then opened up maps again and got a lock right on accurate to 5m, gps test says 15ft.
thats the best lock ive ever had on the sam-vib...sweet, tx for the heads up!!
i bought a vibrant during summer when it just came out and did proper research so i could use it in canada with wind. (smartphone+cheap plans)
i have the ji6 but not able to find the new GPS Restore App in the market. phone is unlocked.
Does anyone know why?

The app is for U.S. vibrant and captivates only, but in my OP I uploaded it for people outside the US.
tried this and did nothing for me... Obsidian V5 rom.
Not sure if its the rom or what, but my gps used to work on the stock tmobile rom. and seem to get worse over time lol.

Service problems

I posted this on the froshedyo page too.
For about a week now my fiance and I have noticed that our service has been getting really bad. We have verizon and usually have great service anywhere we go and where we live we have usually full service but lately its been going to no service and then back to kinda full and then full.
EWhat I was wondering is is it a rom thing or could it be that the baseband version we have is sprint so maybe that is causing the bad service or just verizon taking time switching over the towers to 4g.
We really love this rom and dont want to switch if we dont have to. What can we do to go back to the way our service was before? Thank you for any help

Have you noticed any difference in 3G speeds, call quality, or sending texts? It could be that the phone is doing it. Which radio did you put on? You can flash xtrSense and put what changes on the phone you need to on there. Just make a NAND backup in Amon_RA and you can go back to the way you want.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
The speed seems fine it just drops the calls and picks them right back up once it gets service again. The radio we have is the one that came with the froshedyo v10 rom 2.42.01.04.27
Is flashing xtr sense the only way to fix it or can I fix it on the rom we have? Also would flashing a verizon radio make a difference. Thanks for the help so far.

The dropped call issue is a 2.2 issue. It's not the rom or the radio. It's a known issue with all 2.2 Eris roms. Unfortunately no fix has been found for it yet.
Right I knew the dropped call issue is a froyo thing but the phone also goes in and out of service while just sitting there not even doing anything to the phone and it never did that with our stock 2.1. Maybe it is just verizon. I dunno.

I just wanted to make sure you know that rooted ROMs usually don't include radios, and FroShedYo definitely doesn't. The reason is that screwing up a flash of a radio be pretty dangerous, so the rooted ROMs leave the radio alone.
Traditionally, once using a rooted ROM, the only way to get a new radio version is by manually flashing just the radio.

SC 2.92 Center of Screen stops responding

I have two Samsung Fascinates. Both were wiped clean and Odin flashed with DJ01. I followed all the steps to install SC 2.92 Voodoo. One of the phones works fine. The other phone occasionally stops responding in the middle of the screen.
I went ahead and flashed it back to stock and it doesn't seem to have this problem. I have gone from SC to Stock 2-3 times now, and after a few minutes of use it keeps doing this. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Which odin package did you use to return to stock?
There are a few of us on here who have screen response issues. It's even worse when the phone is charging. No known solution. I think it's a problem that carried over from the i9000 which our current kernel is from. I was going to pull the thread for you but the search function is down.
Some work arounds:
Reboot. It will work for awhile repeat as needed
Don't root...
Try my guide, if it doesn't work still.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001064
Let me know by posting in guide.
Your guide is what I did twice. It appears that this is a known issue with only certain phones. I also noticed that the display is brighter on the fully functional super clean fascinate.
I went ahead and flashed it to stock took it to the Verizon store showed the person that it wasn't as bright at max settings, they said it looks like a manufacturer defect they will send me another phone and just to mail back the one I have.
I also have 2 FC n other one had that so b4 flashin di01 I flashed eb01 stock rom then flashed di01. Now its working flawlessly

I am one of the unlucky ones too. I don't think its kernel related. It does it on the OEM mesmerize kernel too (ec10). I think the only real solution is to wait for our OEM update and if it still does it take it in for an exchange.
Very frustrating! !

Just spoke with a VERY nice man at VZW tech support. I explained my problem (leaving out a few particulars of course). He had me boot it in safe mode and wants me to run it that way till Monday. Hmmm, yeah. . .that is not going to happen. He said he will call back at 3:00pm Monday and see if my problem went away. I plan on telling him that it made no difference. Am I being unethical?
I would suggest Gizmo Droid's fix for CWM. I flashed through ODIN and checked Repartition like he said. I followed all of his instructions and my phone no longer gives me a headache. Since doing so, I do experience lag, but I no longer need to lock and unlock my phone to make it work.
Update: Downloaded official froyo and had same screen responsiveness issues. Called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement!!
I've been having pretty good success with Imanut's 100mV voodoo kernal with cpu clocked to 800mhz. However, the screen is still unresponsive when the charger is plugged in

[Q] So heres what my current issue is

Ok, so for some reason today i havent received alot of texts or calls from anyone, and this kinda just randomally started happening, im a huge texter sometimes upwards of 2-300 a day so this came as a shock to me since im running bamf and have had no problems/issues ever with this..
now i was told that bamf has their own kernal so i never installed a new one on the phone..
and i did use a newer radio, but could the kernal or radio have anything to do with what happened today, is their a better kernal or radio that i could flash onto my phone and this problem will never happen again?
Thanks in advance!

I did some work on my brother-in-law's Thunderbolt. When we used the 802 radio set (CDMA+LTE), he couldn't send sms/mms, we didn't test receiving, but once we backed down to the 627 radio set everything was fine.

Can you elaborate please? is that just different versions? or is one more more compatible then another?
So far it seems to be ok texting again, however (and i know this sounds stupid) but one of my friends i cant text.. literally i can recieve everything he says but if i try to send anything to his phone it wont recieve, he is a tmobile carrier and i have never had issues.. even put the phones side by side and he still gets nothing.

T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling... JellyBean

I was just wondering if there is a tmo wifi calling app for any of the JB roms that are currently available for our Vibrant...
I've been through a lot of threads and haven't seen any mention of it. Haven't yet flashed JB yet (should be tomorrow though!).
Thanks.

There are several VOIP apps on the market, namely Google Voice, which allows free calling irrc. I am not aware of any VOIP apps by TMo though.
Google voice is only for the States. Use talkatone, ChatON, Kakaotalk, or just search on Google play store. Sorry can't give links, I'm on my phone so just search it. Not too hard to find. Good luck!
No, no, no. T-Mobile users can use the T-Mobile WiFi Calling App. Its been made to work on Froyo, GB, and ICS.
In areas where you have little to no cell signal, you can connect to WiFi, and this little app allows you to send and receive calls and texts just as if you had perfect cell signal.
My original question, was inquiring as to whether or not anyone had tinkered with it and made it compatible with any of the current JB builds.
JB is still new, so it comes as no surprise that it hasn't been done yet.
No big deal. Reason I originally posted that, was because if one ROM had it working over another, then I would have tried that ROM first as I said no biggie.
anyone find anything? my cell signal at my house is terrible, but I'm loving Slim JB

AFAIK, T-Mobile wifi calling was made to work on froyo and GB, but never on ICS, several devs tried it, but weren't able to make it work. I doubt there'll ever be T-Mobile wifi calling for the Vibrant on JB.
Have you tried bobsled app?

Look for a jelly bean version and stumbled across this posting. For the t-mobile G2 there is an ICS version which works.
We just bought a Galaxy S2 from t-mobile, it came preinstalled with the new ICS update on it already (brand new device). The device has Wifi calling built in. It's not a separate app though, its built into the device settings, enabled and disabled from there. Looking for it on my Vibrant though :s

You can get it for lots of Froyo, GB, and even some ICS roms (I think), but no JB yet.

I'm using Bobsled app on my Defy with Android 4.1.2 without problem, but I'm pretty sure it can be configured with another "standard" SIP client like CSIP or 3CX (just don't know how to do it...)
I'd tried to see what's the SIP credentials on my own account using wireshark in the middle, but only have on clear that the SIP gateway is: wvp.vivox.com:5062
If anyone could help us on the right direction, should be nice...
