Hi guys,
My flatmate's phone is an Xperia X10a on 3 mobile. When they bought it the shop person said to upgrade (it was 1.6 so no kidding!!). I told my flatmate I'd sort it for them (I'm keen to push the android front!), so I downloaded the official update programs (both of them) and found out first hand how useless Sony is, but it said that I already had the newest version; ugggh.
So I came here and installed the generic official 2.1 rom (through the flashing tool here). It's great, everything seemed to work, but the internet doesn't work over 3G. It works fine over the wifi, just not over 3G.
What are my options here? I'd really like to get this sorted!
Thanks guys in advance.
have you downloaded the APN setting for that network?
if you are not sure ...go to settings, click on sony ericsson and click on settings download

Thanks for the quick responses. So after a quick google, that's the access point name, which tells it how to connect specifically to my carriers network?
I had a quick look through the documents, and three mobile.au is in there, so I'm guessing it's fine. My flat mate isn't home right now so I can't attempt it. It seems like it just figures it out itself when you have the list, I'm surprised there isn't some sort of selection process.
Kudos to the both of you. Thanks given.
Done and done! All working, and without any preloaded network crapware installed.
Cheers

I'm using an Imate & Vodafone SIM, and when o2 released their new update which included Blackberry support I upgraded my device. Everything worked perfectly, I travelled to the Far East and Blackberry functioned correctly.
When I returned I decided to upgrade to 2003SE V2.06 and installed Blackberry, it didn't work. I then downgraded to 2003SE V2.02 and installed Blackberry, still not working.
So today I reverted back to the o2 V1.72 update, still not working, and the Blackberry Server is showing 'Illegal PIN Number'.
This is just a warning that the SE update may screw Blackberry up, or o2 & RIM have noticed that everyone is using their software and started to block non o2 devices that are running the software.
Hi,
Same message on my BES: 'Illegal PIN Number' and BBY not working. But I have it till the first time trying to connect, one month ago..
The client connects, gets an IP address and disconnects displaying the 'not connected' icon. However, the client receives Policy and Services from Server.
I still haven't found a solution... Any help welcome.

Eaxactly the same as I'm getting, I'm going to try the suggestion about removing the user from the BES, deleting settings on the XDA & Docuements & Settings and see if this works.
My initial thought was that the PIN number had changed but that does not seem to be the case.

t-mobile
Strangely enough same problem happened to me today. I called t-mobile they reproivisioned ... n othing etc. All of a sudden this afternoon it's working again?
I've tried everything, and still no joy, I emailed RIM and they just referred me to Vodafone, carefully ignoring the question about 'Illegal handheld PIN'.
Just out of interest, what is the PIN number of your devices, my only thought now is that we all have the same PIN, mine is 613F1E63. If this is the case then the upgrade has screwed our device ID's.
If not then there's a way of identifing the network from the PIN, and a block has been put on none o2 devices.
I've had a thought, what versions of BES are people running, we're runing V3.6 Sp2, the latest is 3.6 sp4 so I'm wondering if there maybe something in sp3 or 4 that fixes the Illegal Handheld PIN problem?
Is it possible to confirm BES versions an if the Blackberry client is working.
Sorry, I'll be at office only next week.
I'll then tell you my BES version. I think this is a good idea.

HI there.
I've been having the same problem, with the Australian Telstra network- I get the "illegal pin" response from the sever, even though the XDA connects OK (the server notes that it is is contact with the XDA)
Has anyone found a fix? Not sure if the culprit is Telstra blocking PIN's that are generated by devices that are not supported, such as the XDAII

Actually, all blocking happens at the master RIM relay in Canada. RIM regularly sweep their system for 'illegal' devices and software versions. So hacking the software out of 1.72.181 and putting it into a dodgy 2.02 build qualifies as 'illegal'. BAM - your PIN is blocked by RIM.
Changing your software afterwards back to 1.72.181 wont work, because the PIN is still blocked. You then need to call your mobile provider and beg them to get it unblocked.
:?
Thanks for that.
My original ROM was 1.66- are you saying that I have to go back to this version and then install the BB app, and then beg the mobile provider? If they re-set the PIN, will that get caught up in a sweep?
Cheers

172181 is what O2 released - go back to that one and let the begging begin....

Interesting. Sorry for all of the questions. Will removing and re-adding the user from the BES once 1.72 is installed suffice, or does it have to be re-set by the carrier?
Thanks again
Thanks for the advice- am up and running now.
Sync with the server is a bit dodgy, but have 1.72 installed and BB up and running- thanks for the help.

Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...
Sent from my Supercharged MOTO ATX
I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914
You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully
Enjoy guys!

Worked for me as well..brilliant!!!! its working here in germany.....but I wonder the telstra radio will work in my home country with frequencies of 900/2100
Motorola Atrix restart when placing a call
I just got the same exact Dialer problem now, but the flash radio file is gone* in the pointed post, and I don't know exactly how to flash the radio.
Someone can help me? I need the radio file and step by step instruction to how to flash it.
BTW my Atrix 4G works perfect for a year till this Dialer problem started past week.
I also use my phone as a full Linux computer when docked, and it works very fine.
Thanks
* The file was on megaupload, that was closed
No answer
Why I never got an answer of any post I did?
There is something wrong?

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?
Ive been looking a bit thru google for answers to this issue at hand before I made this topic, and none of the answers found worked for me, so I am using this as a last way out.
I just installed a custom rom on my Xperia x10, everything went successfully and it works fluently, except for one tiny thing - Which also might be the most important one, I lost my signal
I can't send/recive sms/mms, do a phonecall, connect to 3G, basicly nothing a normal phone could do.
People I found on google solved this by simply rebooting the device, I tried - Im not in that lucky group.
Im not quite sure about this, but when you boot the phone should it not ask for the sim pin code? Well, it dosen't.
Thanks in advance guys, hope you can help me out

First I made it reset to default APN settings, then I added the ones I am supposed to, but whenever I hit "save" it never shows up in the APN list
Can u pls ensure that your baseband version is supported by the custom rom

I verified all of those things before I flashed it - But I found a solution, I bought the Xperia Arc, lol
But there's one last thing tho, as the x10 is pretty much useless as it is, and me being stupid and didn't create a backup, is there any way to restore the original firmware?

I was out lastnight and lost my phone, i dont think I have any software on it to remotely ccess my phone, however i am running MIUI if this has something like this embedded into the ROM?
My phone dials out to voicemail, and I have blacklisted my phone so the GSM network will not work also my simcard has been blocked.
Anybody got any ideas to help get in touch with the person who's found it ? and how to locate it?

Maybe Plan B in market can do something for you. Iwish you good luck.
Thanks mate
Does Anybody know if when you install an app from your desktop computer via the google android website on your phone. and the status for that app changes from INSTALL to INSTALLED.
did the app sucessfully get installed? its very hard to find out as my network has been disabled ( i have now enabled it may take upto 24 hours) so my only hope at the moment is wifi i think.
if you didn't set it up before you lost the phone there's no way for you to track it down afterwards...
Hi everyone !
Sorry to tell you that I am upset to discover that my MOBILE DATA TOGGLE disappeared...
I uploaded my Galaxy Alpha to Lollipop 5.0.2 a few weeks ago and the toggle was still there. But today, for no reason, it vanished!
Do you guys encountered the same problem ? Or it was not available anymore at the very moment you updated to 5.0.2 ?
Thank you

Noticed it today in the morning - Two days ago it was there for sure. I've seen that this has been introduced by the operators somewhere in the US (http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...5-no-mobile-data-toggle-pull-down-screen.html)
Anyone found a solution to get it back without installing any third-party software/custom roms?
Cheers,
EDIT: I have found it xD
Go to Toggle settings and choose "Reset" - the toggle appears then. Anyway, it would seem there was some covert update during the night...

It really seems to be a phantom update... But from carrier ? I bought my Alpha is G850F unbranded in France. I am using it in Canada on Public Mobile virtual network (TELUS).
Seems like the matter of French software. I have bought mine in Poland with Polish TMO software (or was it Orange? whatever...) but flashed the FR one to get Lollipop.
