Hi everyone,
Long story short I live in Kuwait, I am subscribed to ZAIN Kuwait and I can't find any solution that makes me use my Internet on the phone !!!
I tried all the settings possible that used with multiple android phones before, I even changed my sim card, setup different APNs and nothing, I can't Access the Internet or use MMS!!! The only thing that worked is my friend's wataneya line, I tried his sim card and the Internet is perfect
I don't want to changeu operator an I really don't wanna change the Atrix
Did any one else had a problem with the Internet access out of the USA ? Is there some special settings I have to do ?
Thanks in advance
Hey there im from the uk and flashed my handset with gingerblur was having same problems as you after entering custom apns for my network

The following are some potential issues that may be encountered while attempting to upgrade. Please note that these issues may be seen if any of the key requirements outlined in Step 1 were not followed.
MUST READ BEFORE PROCEEDING:
Step 1 - Requirements needed to ensure a successful upgrade:
A fully charged Motorola ATRIX 4G™ with an active SIM card
A Micro SD card installed in your phone with approximately 20 MB of free space.
Your phone is on the latest Android 2.2 software Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US or Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US
To ensure optimal performance after the upgrade, the phone software must not have been modified in any way.
Changing the user name and password actually worked for me
Thanks Alot man
I had the same problem when trying to use the phone in Japan with Softbank. Took some time to get to this thread.
What did you guys use to edit the file? I used ES File Explorer, didn't work until I did a chmod 777 to the "pppd-ril.options" file via adb.
I have same problem and I 'm trying to edit "pppd-ril.options" file on my rooted Motorola Atrix mobile and I'm not able to edit b'coz its in readonly mode and even tried to change permission of the file but got below error message.
/system/etc/ppp/peers # chmod 777 pppd-ril.options
chmod: pppd-ril.options: Read-only file system
I even tried using ES File Explorer to change permission but no success.
> AWD_Maniac can you please tell me how did u used adb shell, b'coz i tried it too but not able to change permission.

After a hard reset my HD was fast again and no errors. I installed all software I need, and before that I could copy files to the micro-SD of my HD2 from Win 7 Explorer while Active Sync was activated. Now after setting up everything I get an error everytime I want to copy a file that explorer cant copy the file. Using the SD-card as HDD causes no such errors. Only when Active Sync and Mobile center are active. This happens not all the time, but most of.
The pic shows the software i installed to my HD2 (internal on phone)

This has been covered many times before , and with a search you might have found it but i will go over it again ....
This has been a known issue with Activesync for a long time, I say known but less common, it is more common with W7, but still there is no rhyme or reason as to what machines/phones it affects, (if someone knows please tell me), it has to do with the conversion module in activesync, but that is all I know about it ...
The Way around it is SIMPLE, connect your phone to the pc and "forget activesync exists", and when the little box on your phone pops up asking how to connect select disk drive ... Your phone will then show up as a removable drive and you can copy files fine ...
If you no longer get the popup box goto "Start Menu>Settings>Connections>USB to PC" , and check the little box that says "Ask me ......."
Thx. Yeah, maybe I could have used the search more precisely. And what you wrote lets me hesitate in Microsoft once more. But hey - ok, I can live with that. And using the card as drive is what I´ve been doing since and ever when this bug/error appears. Thx anyway.
(Was just thinking it had something to do with some app I installed or something, sorry for wasting your time btw)
try settings menu all settings connections usb to pc and UNtick "faster data transfer.
seems to help for some.

Yeah forgot that ...
I have been looking around at this, I think it actually may have to do with a codec issues, when you install 3rd party codecs it may screw up the built in conversion in activesync, even though the file does not really need to be converted, when activesync goes to check the file to see if it does need converted it bombs ....
Ok, thx you two.
I figured out now that it must have to do with this error report.
communication (0x80072745) error connecting Windows Mobile device
Source: RapiMgr
Event-ID: 8
I updated the driver for the mobile device via online update at the hardware manager snap-in and since then this sporadic appearing error did not occur again. Hope this was the solution.
I really hope so.
Aparently there are three distinct startup screens. This is a guide to changing the last one, in my case its the O2 bubbles screen:
You need a 800x480 pic, rename/convert it to '00.png'
1. Use 'Root Explorer' and browse to the /system folder. (you can of course use any of the other file explorers with root permission out there)
2. There is a button above the folder list called 'Mount R/W' click it.
3. Now navigate to your '00.png' file and copy it.
4. Navigate to the /system/customization/BootAnimation/images/ folder and rename the '00.png' thats there '00bak.png'.
5. Paste your '00.png' file in there...DONE
Heres one I made earlier:
Thanks for the info mate
hello thank's for the info dude. can we use a .gif file ???
and how to get sound with image ? thank's again!
Thanks for the info, if it wasn't for you I would most definitely be interested in how to change the image.

I have no idea...have a go and report back
Sorry for the bump... Any tutorial on how to do this on 2.1?
I would imagine its the same.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Nope, the /BootAnimation/images/ folders don't exist.
On 2.1, I found a /system/media/bootanimation.zip
with sub dirs /part0, /part1
in /part0 there is a 00000.png (which is the O2 boot screen).
Didn't try changing it, but I bet that will do the trick..
Will try & let you know..
Awesome, thanks. I'll also give it a blast once I get home fom college.
That didn't work, that is a zip file, cant find where it is being extracted in 2.1. Will keep searching.
Only got a quick chance to play with it yesterday, but I think the .zip file is the answer. I think the reason it didn't work for us because it wasn't signed. Will try editing, and then signing, the zip file later.
Sorry to bump an older thread, but I'm still having no luck. Anyone have links to a recent tutorial that'll work on 2.1/2.2?
Of course it doesn't work, it was just some developers attempt to get you all to spend money on 'Root Explorer' apps!
You didn't fall for that one

For all the Trolls out there, you can use any file manager that gives you root permissions.
I was simply giving the steps 'I' did to get a different startup screen.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by trying to help the community.

The bootanimation.zip IS the file you wanna change if you want a different boot up screen. I have a bunch of bootanimation.zip from previous Android device and they work but for some reason when I try to create my own or even just modify the stock one and re-zip, it just comes up with a black screen.
didnt get the stock dell logo animation that comes with the att streak, but i did get rid of the o2 logo and its been replaces with the stock android one (looks rather android 1.0 -ish). and i guess thats more relevant.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL "FOUNDER" OF THIS METHOD AND ALL CREDITS GO TO THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR HELPING ME OUT!
Many people including myself has found their phones having issues with gaining full network access to whatever router they try to connect to after the latest 2.3.3 update. After some fierce searching on XDA Forums and Facebook I found a very noobish/easy yet helpful workaround. To be able to connect to your home router you will need to use the good old fashioned Static IP sollution.
For you who are new to this here are the following steps of the entire procedure:
STEP 1:
On your phone, go to the "Wi-Fi settings" section and choose advanced options which will allow you to check the "use static IP box"
STEP 2:
Under the checked box there are now several boxes available where we will put some numbers (boxes are: IP adress, Gateway, Subnet mask, DNS1 and DNS2)
To find this info you will need to open CMD on your PC (search CMD and it will pop up) and type in the following: ipconfig /all
STEP 3:
By now you will have a long list of different information, however there is a section named "Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection" under which all the information we actually need is located. To make matters easier I have included a partial screen shot pointing out the info needed:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Type the information you see into the appropriate sections in the phone except for the IP adress wich you will need to change the last digit of in order to prevent an IP conflict between the PC and the phone. (the last digit should not be used by any other device on the network so any unused number should work)
IMPORTANT
With static IP enabled you will only be able to connect to your home network and not to any network outside your home, but then again any connection is better than no connection at all. Just remember that this is a temporary solution until SE fixes the problem.
DNS1 and DNS2 are the same?
I tried this yesterday, yes phone will connect to wifi, but will not download anything. update now working Did like you said changed IP last number
Hey guys,
my wifi is giving me some trouble... i cant find my router with the phone. Already tried blade wifi fix and some other stuff but it just cant find it. Other devices can find it and connect without a problem.
The x10 just cant find it. Anyone encountered this problem and managed to find a work around?
I dont think the "static ip" will work in my case, cause i cant even find the router to connect to.
I'm on WB latest rom, with Speed&Fix005 installed.
Cheers

No, the DNS 1 and 2 are not the same. The last two digits are different if you look at the numbers according to the instructions
What do I do if I use 2 different wifi spots. One for home and one for work.
This will only make it work at home.
Cant believe that Sony Ericsson released a firmware where the wifi dont work
Any news about Sony want to fix the problem ?
If you want to use the phone in several Wi-Fi networks you will have to enter the information of that specific network just as the instructions shows. Sadly, for us suffering from this problem Sony Ericsson still havent responded to this issue that also exist in the ARC. It is also a fact that ARC users have been complaining for months without proper response.
Is there any other rom that fix the problem ?
I would like to use the original firmware. But if a custom firmware dont have the problem I would happily use that.
[
Another quick work round which maintains flexibility I find is to download and install an app called 'wifi static'.
Hi All,
I just bought a new X10 and I'm missing the on/off widgets (Gps, wifi, ...) as they exist on the Arc.
Is it possible to download them or copy them from the Arc to the X10?
Thanks,
Jef

Do I need to be rooted to install this? I tried to install this with Linda File Manager and ES File explorer while allowing non Market apps.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me.
My tablet is unable to mount my /efs directory, or whatever. And while I don't know if they are directly connected,
things like my lock screen, holding my power button to get options like Flight Mode, Data Network, Restart, Etc., is gone. And I have tried screen lock to work, it doesn't. Holding my power button shuts my tablet down (in the same amount of
time that holding it would normally bring up the options screen, as well). I also loose completely my 3g, no matter wish successfully installed rom I run. I am not new to flashing rom at all and navigate trough all kind of step regarding specifics to rom by heart. All I can remember was to try the latest Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview and failed to load it, I was stuck in the boot animation for half an hour. So I decide to go back to the new stuck 4.0.4 from my provider. That is where I found the problem. Since, I have try 4.0.4 stuck, 4.04 rooted. The problem occur the same way in every rom and everything else was juste fine. I try the 3.1 stuck and 3.2 stuck and the message E: failed to mount /efs appear when rebooting from odin install.Never been able to load any version of the latest 4.1.1 from pershot. I have found a thread about the same issues from another device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766748. I pass the entire day reading the web for solution, but no cigars so far.
I have the a Telus samsung galaxy tab 10.1 3g.
Thanks in advance if you have any idea how to resolve the /efs mounting problem.
I will added these picture to show that I have lost all important information that is apparently store in some file inside this /efs folder. Apparently this folder as been corrupt when flashing the CyanogenMod 10 Preview especially made for my tablet. So my new question would be to ask.
Do anyone know how to restore this folder even if I have no backup of it?

try to copy the content of the efs folder with any root browser. it will have files and folders like in the screenshot atached.
Solved.
i had exactly the same problem. Was working on it for the last two days (ofcourse i am a simpleton and rookie )
But yes at last the phone is fixed and working fine with all the parameters.
So dont worry dear. Try to follow these steps : -
1. flash a rom using odin or heimdall - either stock or Cyanogenmod. You can check the repartition if using with the pit file.
2. Root your phone if not already rooted
3. Install busybox
4. Install kTool.apk (Its a small and wonderful apk. Freely available)
5. Install any file manager that supports root browsing
6. Make a backup of your efs with the help of kTool.apk (Its simple)
7. Decompress your earlier backup and copy all the files in the root efs folder with the root explorer
8. Now rename the one that you decompressed the files from as efs.img and copy it into the internal sdcard root
9. Now retore the egs.img using the kTool.apk
This will solve the problem i guess.
Good luck

No file in /efs folder, and no backup
Thanks a lot for the answer guys, but unfortunately there is nothing inside my /efs folder. It's completely empty and therefore I can't copy it, move it backup it,or anything. I also have no backup of this folder. As I understand some file in this folder contain the super important information of my own system like IEME, Serial, etc... So my concern is more like is there is a way to restore this folder even if it doesn't exist. I think the answer is no and the only solution for me is to send it back to Samsung with the stuck roms from my provider and hope for them to not deny the repair so I won't have to pay. I wonder if there is other thing to do but I am pretty sure not. If someone know something let me know. I have already contact Samsung and tell them that my 3g is broken and some strange behavior occur during OTA update. They are going to send me something for me to send the tablet for reparation. Til then I really want to know if there is something I don't understand and if there is still hope. Anyway thanks in advance for anyone who know better then me.
This is EXACTLY what's going on with my tablet, and yes, there's nothing to copy. What do we do?
I originally edited my old post with this, but I wanted to be sure the OP saw it.
I finally fixed mine. See my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876260
I hope it helps
