[Q] 3G issue - Please help =/ - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so a while back I put a rom on my phone.. a month or so ago
I don't rememebr exactly what it was, I think jt's vanilla CM7?
here's what it says under "about" in my phone -
baseband s:i500.04 V.EC01
KERNAL 2.6.35.7- g3cfb6a8- dirtyjt1134 @ ubuntu # 1
MOD VERSION
CyanogenMod-7.1.0 -Fascinate-KANG-0704
I looked in the development section for this to read about the issue but could not finad anything other than 1 thread (named 3g issue, this may help you.. something along those lines)
I have no 3G. At All. It just won't work, and it really freakin sucks cause i've been putting up with it for a while now but I need this fixed asap... my stepdad is a prick and is gettin pissed that I use my mother's phone at work for the 3G on breaks
I was hoping someone could save me hours and hours of sifting through posts looking for someone with a similar problem.. I've spent a while already but can't find a damn fix
Is there any way to fix this without getting a new, refurbished phone... ?
that thread stated something about the ESN and IMEI needing to be swapped... but I don't have another smartphone to do that...
Please help, cause my stepdad's a ***** and I can't deal with this anymore!
I'll continue searching... I like to look for soutions before bothering others for answers, but I am in a rush and must get this dealt with ASAP
Thank you so much in advance everyone - I will check this as much as possible throughout the day.

Well, I had the same 3G problem a while ago, and as you mentioned, my cure was an ESN swap.
However, you do not really *need* another smartphone. If you call tech support and explain the problem, their techs usually have another phone lying around that they can use for a swap. I talked to a few members who had luck with that, and on the plus side, if Verizon can't fix it or won't listen to you, you'll probably get a new phone
The problem may be with CM7 though - many people are reporting that some versions of CM7 will wreck data. So, if the ESN swap does not work, I would recommend trying the newest version of CM7 or another ROM temporarily to see if that fixes the problem.

Roll back to Samsung Based ROM, the data will works.

[Q] Samsung VIbrant Problems anyone???

Hello everyone, im not one to post much, i bascily find what i need say what i must and im done... I purchased 2 samsung vibrants, made a contract and never been so happy with a phone... A few days after having the phone, i start having issues when trying to make a call... Phone stays in Dialing screen and doesnt go anywhere from there, or goes black, or just drops the call or doesnt make the call at all and goes rightback to the main screen... ALSO!!! text messeges wouldnt go through with a 3g signal full bars... soon after i started having issues with a few programs the sims would give me an error, other aps would get the shakes, freeze, market doesn load , just a black screen... so i called tmobile let them know what was going on.... made us do a reset lost everything on the phones.... waited a few more days same problems again this time we went and got the sim cards changed.... few hours later same thing again... so after we passed the 14 day period to return the phones or what not they gave us a bit of a hassle to have them replaced but they replaced them... Mind you this issues was random and everything happend while having a better then good enough signal... so we get the replacements and a few days later... same issues again... Now my concern is how lucky can i be to get 4.... FOUR!!! not 1... but 4 phones that do the same exact things...
Id like to know how many ppl are having any of these issues besides the gps one... cause tmobile reps keep saying "OH i know "Blank" has this phone and hasnt had any issues at all, we havent recieved many calls about this phone.. " Im sure its Bull but please if any of you have had these issues please post id like to get something done about this cause at this point i love the phone but i cant deal with not being able to use my phone when i want to... Ive taken a few pics of the errors and a video or two but i wanna have something to show inthere face that im not just the only one with this problem and i dont just want a new phone...
My Mytouch 3g 1.2 with cyanogen ran faster, better, and never gave me the issues this phone is giveing me.. its stupid and i dont believe this should be happening...
So please post lol thanks....
p.s.
I know i miss spelled im running late for work and typed in a rush sorry...
RE: Black Screens
It's your phone lagging.
Do you have Facebook or Twitter hooked into your phone.
It's probably updating statuses in the phone app, and that's why it's lagging. When it lags, it starts giving black screens. Happens a lot. If you want to stick with the phone, then some of the knowledgeable modders here can recommend some decent custom ROMs that get rid of much of the lag, and point you in the correct direction.
From what I've read FroYo doesn't fix this issue on Galaxy S phones, though some said the leaked 2.2.1 ROM for the i9k fixes much of it.
RE: Text Messages
T-Mobile's network is pretty bad, I've noticed. I get the failed text messages quite a bit as well.
RE: Shakes and stuff in other apps
See "RE: Black screens" The RFS file system is almost guaranteed to lag any application which accesses the forum, especially if they use a database.
90% of the people here have had the same issues. 80% of them run a custom ROM or Lag Fix, 5% of them are in denial, and 5% of them run such a slimmed down setup that the lag is rare and simply doesn't bother them.
Speaking of which. There are Lag Fixes and Custom ROMs (usually with Lag Fixes integrated in them) that can alleviate much of the Lag. YMMV, however.
HTH.
umm a user error? i wonder how you use your phone..
like when you download apps from the marketplace, do you at the same time to make calls? send texts? or other stuffs while downloading? orr are you multi tasking as lot? web, text, games ? do you even exit on apps ..hmm
and you've been a member since july when the vibrant launched, are you not making this story up? LOL im kidding.. just get a different phone i guess, not a vibrant..
He's past the return period. Read his post.

Check this out, this may be what you need: Internal/External Sdcard Mounting Fix - for all 2.2 roms - *11/20/10*
the SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH ALL PHONES?
Here's what i did before, not to a vibrant, but my g2 when it had a bunch of problems.
After 6 replacements, tmobile told me that they can't trust me anymore. so for this time i went to their store and let them see the problems, they told me they hadn't seen it before (obviously) then i asked if i could TRY OUT another phone in front of them, i took out everything, and put it in the new phone, and same issues.
They told me something was wrong and they'd do something... they went to the back, same back after 10 minutes, and everything was fixed, but they wiped EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE, the sd card etc.

I read it.. do you realize that it's nnot hard to replace the phone on TMobile? Tmo might even offer him a different phone.. it's called customer service and it's not like he bricked the phone anyway.. even if you bricked it they'd still replace it.. are you that oblivious???
I only had my Vibrant running stock firmware for about 2mins so I do not know about your lag. I am using the latest PepperKake rom with the Voodoo lag fix. I do not have facebook or twitter running. Just my email and a PS3 trophy card. I have not seen any sort of lag or freeze.

N8ter was the most helpful with his first post. JL5 fixed alot of the "lag" issues I had, but the only lag I was experiencing was using my exchange (corporate) connector.
Best bet is to flash to JL5 or a custom rom, or if you dont wish to deal with that return the phone and tell TMO what for.
JL5 "Stock" ROM

then what's the point of you saying "he's past the return period..?" if you yourself were able to exchange it 3 times? can't he do the same knowing he's got faulty devices?
it's funny how some poster above me could praise you and say you were helpful when you cant even help yourself to make your phone become better and learn to like it, but instead you come in here parading your hate about the vibrant...

You told him to get another phone - which I interpret to mean a different phone, because another Vibrant won't fix his issues, obviously. I've gotten two replacements (both were BNIB basically from the factory, since they were backordered when I put the tickets in).
He's past the return period, so his only choice would be to get a different phone, and those aren't cheap.
Furthermore, carriers (T-Mobile included) are always willing to swap the phone out for a different model to save a contract, but they aren't so dumb that they will let any random user get a free upgrade just because they called in *****ing about phone problems and threatened to cancel their contract (when you ETF, they get their subsidy back).
I know what I'm talking about. I've ETF'd from two other carriers in the past 6 months (Sprint and AT&T, due to poor signal issues) and have had all 4.
You can roll your eyes all you want, miss thing who is obviously a fangirl.
Sorry eveyone i lost my password for a while lol... To update you all on this, i ended up going thru 6!!! vibrants all had the same issues.. i didnt wanna root it i loved it as it was but after argueing with tmo, and samsung i didnt get anywhere with them, they only offered to exchange for the charm, HEll no! ...They WOuldnt exchange it for anything else.. so i ended up canceling the contract. It was cheaper to cancel the contract then to buy another phone at full price like they wanted me to.. it was $400 to cancel the contract plus the month, for the family plan... had i purchased two phones the "mytouch 4g" which is what we tried to get, at full price it was running about 900 to almost 1200 for both phones... havent had any issues with the mytouch ... But whats funny is , they now have the same vibrant phone with 4g service and a front facing camera... could it be they knew the vibrant had issues? so went ahead and remade it /fixed the issues instead of a recall. I saw several ppl everytime i went out who had one and actually ASKED them if they had any issues like i was and YES they did...
Basically in a nut shell Eclair is ****. The phone is awesome . Flash a good Rom and everything will be fine.

that suck, r u able to reproduce the problems in front of the salesperson. i have four and all mine seem fine even when they were stock. they're all running cm7 #105 and seem to run without error -gps.

Screwed Noob

So I don't know ****. Yeah I said it, don't run away though. I'm still reading tons of information on the forum and you guys are awesome and I can't believe I never did this sooner!
I really wish I could have started from a stock phone but that was a great deal to me, and this is how things are.
The situation:
I bought a MINT Atrix 4 for $125. Great. Well the phone already has what the guy called "Jelly bean" installed which is cm10 if I understand correctly (the phone wont be activated till next week).
The problem:
He said "DO NOT try to record a video. The camera works, just not the video recorder. He also says WiFi doesn't work and DO NOT touch that either. Now that's a problem.
Phone specs:
Android version 4.1.1
baseband version N_01.77.37p
kernal 2.3.32.59-mb860-cm9-g89b8854
cm mod version 10-20120729-UNOFFICIAL-olympus
yada yada
If any specific threads can help besides the Nooby and FAQ threads I would appreciate that as well. The more information the more comfortable I will be with the phone.
I wouldn't call a broken phone mint. If wifi doesn't work, its likely that bluetooth doesn't either and if that's the case, you got screwed as the only way to repair it is to send to motorola. Which since you're not the original owner means you have to pay for the repair. I'd return it if he didn't disclose the broken wifi. Good luck
Try flashing a new radio and rom

It wasn't an eBay purchase so returning it isn't an option. Besides, I never said bluetooth doesn't work. From what I read, when both are not working its hardware and software if only one (most of the time).
Regardless, thank you for your worthless opinion and lack of help.

You're right you didn't say bluetooth wasn't working. Its just a known error around the forums. Really no need to snap at me or get defensive. I was not in any way belittling you so I dont appreciate your attitude from a self proclaimed NOOB. That being said, I'm over it and I agree with the other post saying to try another rom. Is it joker or epinter cm10 that its on? (Those right now are the active developers of cm10 for the atrix) If its either of those, read thru their developer posts and see if wifi not working is a known issue.
Your initial post definitely came off as rude. I think I have an idea on what to do but I'm going to do a little more research before I dive in. Thanks for real this time.
So I have tried downloading different cm10 files, a cm9 file, and gapps. When I'm in my recovery and try to install from the sd card, they wont load
(bad)
Installation aborted.
What should I try now guys? Am I damaging the files? I downloaded from jokersax's site (firefox)>open containing folder and drag to F: (I tried E: but I guess that's the phones internal?)

Really need to start recovering the phone not throwing roms at it till its fixed. Atrix is an odd ball when you get tied up in partitions and file locations. My suggestion would be to checkout fruitcake and start from there . There are more risky ways of getting out of that rut by try the easy stuff first. Phone needs a clean start and all new files. Cm10 has some issues depending on the logic board revision you have. Before you ask the only way to tell is to physically compare one logic board to another and there are very subtle difference. I only stumbled across this by accident during some full tear downs . I usually judge by symptom then treat them accordingly .
Like I stated above fruitcake is my recommend and I have used it numerous times with trouble phones that need a clean start.

[Q] question about flashing for frawg

Hey guys I have a quick question. I've done some searching and am not sure about this. I bought a evo 3d from a friend of mine. It was a sprint phone that is now on frawg. Last week the internet and everything worked fine. I activated it under my number this week and now the internet no longer works. It just says no connection when you try anything internet related if you are not on WiFi. I called frawg and they said it was the flash coming out. Is this something I can fix myself or do I really have to pay these guys $50 to fix the flash.
Come on guys somebody's gotta know about this.I've been googling but don't really understand what I need

Going to need more info before anyone can attempt to help. What exactly was flashed (ROM, radios, etc)? Where did the content that was flashed come from, along with a link to it. No one can help without being able to see what it is.
That being said, a flash doesn't "come out."
Your friend should be able to help you or have the info. Maybe paying the $50 to have frawg fix it would be best as it seems you aren't familiar with flashing.
It is running the stock rom 4.0.3. As far as I know the ntelos radio and prl were flashed by an employee at the ntelos store. He has tried to take it up there for me but she took a few days off this week. I know a little bit about flashing ROMs but I don't know if this is like a ROM or completely different.
So is this something I can do myself?
It is if you have the radios and prl to flash

Can those be found on line? Apparently the person that flashed it does not work there anymore or they just don't want to fix it. It looks like I'm stuck fixing it my self

If it worked before you activated it on your account and you didn't change the phone (flash new rom or RUU) then it isn't the phone. Like I said before, a flash doesn't "come out" like they told you. Flashing the radios over again won't fix it. To me it sounds like it's service related, and only frawg can do something about it. They need to reprovision your phone from their end. The only other thing to check is the network setting on your phone and make sure that mobile data is enabled.
No I haven't tried to flash a Rom or anything on the phone. I also do not receive voicemail notifications. I have talked to a few people at their customer service and in the store and they all say the same thing. ill try to call after work about what you said. Mobile network was enabled but it does. Not connect.

keeps rebooting when sim card in

Hi all,
I'm new to this site and am kinda desperate.... I have trouble with my SGH-i717... whenever sim card is in, the device keeps rebooting.... I tried changing the whole sim card reader and no effect on the problem.... Device is now rooted (did it with odin) still no effect... I also tried sim card in other device and it works fine.... Running out of idea here and I'm kinda noob with this... Phone juste came out of warranty by the way and still stuck with 1 and a half year on my damm contract.. So I'll have to buy new phone or pay a 400$ penality for breaking contratc... dammit !!!!
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Also, the phone has to be kept plugged in (to computer or wall plug) otherwise it keeps rebooting even when sim card is not in...
take a look at this thread if you haven't tried searching. I know you are new and probably looking for any fix. you cant panic here. your going to have to search and read.
in the thread I posted, or any thread, pay attention to the stats of some of the folks posting. you may pay attention to some of the more experienced folks.
I don't know some of the specifics as you did not mention. many factors come into play. you will see talk of what carrier..... it is important
what rom are you currently running or have installed?
how clean is your process of flashing?
how experience are you?
some in the thread are talking about modem......as one posted, "changing your modem is not going to fix problem", he is correct.
I have ran into many problems, only saw SIM message show when I had no SIM in phone. always the failsafe solution has been returning to stock and start over.
you would not be the first person to rush off and think, "im flashing my phone, look at me, im cool". doesn't work like that.
I have always been the more cautious one. I read and make sure I understand. I have all my files in place. heck, I have evan rehearsed the process.
sound stupid???
maybe so, but I have yet to have a problem I couldn't figure out.
could be a "fix permissions" issue
could be a "format system" issue
some developers have specific instruction for flashing their rom, any deviation could cause a myriad of problems.
again, look at experience levels of some of the posters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260171
keep us informed as people are reading, but you haven't given any specifics. you have told us what your problem is and what you need fixed, but didn't tell us how you got there.
need that if you want help

[Q] Galaxy S3 Cyanogenmod is not a fun experience for me

Hello, first off I would like to say I'm terribly sorry for posting in the wrong section, but there isn't a section for the US Cellular Galaxy S3 and I don't want to spend an hour trying to find the correct section. Anyway, I've had my S3 for 1.5 years now and I finally decided to ditch Touchwiz and install Cyanogemod. So I got TWRP recovery, installed the correct cyanogenmod 11 version and gapps. I was extremely happy with the smoothness that I decided to text a friend. Text wouldn't go through. Nor could I make phone calls. Anyway I went into settings and it claimed my phone number was something along the lines of '000-000-9356' (Not entirely sure on last 4 digits) So I tried restoring to the backup that I had made, which did not work. Data however did work after tinkering with settings. Fast forward 2 weeks and I decide to try and fix the sms and phone problem. I couldn't find any help and stumbled upon a list of modems for SCH-R530U. Flashed one of those and when the phone booted back up, I had no data connection at all. I tried flashing the rest of them in a panic to try and fix what I broke but none of them changed the broken connection. I went into settings, about phone, status, and the phone says unknown for my network type, phone number, MIN, PRL version, MEID, IMEI, and ICCID. I know realize that I most likely have broken this phone beyond repair and I can't seem to find any fix or any stock firmware for my phone. If anyone could provide some help, it would be greatly appreciated instead of comments telling me to go to iOS, stating that I ****ed it up, or anything similar that I have recently gotten on other forums I've tried to get help from.

I have done a quick search for you and it seems to the same as the one from verizon. Thats what google told me and this link leads to so don't quote me 100% and it also states "This device does not have dedicated subforums, you may be able to find assistance in the Verizon subforums. "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik.../SCH-R530#XDA-Developers_Forums_for_the_Phone
According to us cellular it is a SCH-R530U with baseband R530UVXUCNF3 and android 4.4.2.
Have done abit or search but I will not post links as Im not familiar with it and don't want to be the one to give you a link to brick it so im afraid that's as far as I can go and suggest you go to verizon section

If anyone could provide some help, it would be greatly appreciated instead of comments telling me to go to iOS, stating that I ****ed it up, or anything similar that I have recently gotten on other forums I've tried to get help from.

have that problem on a Korean SKTELECOM phone, and I fixed it with a restore of my efs partition. if you dont have a backup of your previous efs partition, you must have to go to a samsung service center and fix it using some money.
I have the same phone and I flashed the same ROM. i had a horrible experience doing it. let me say that the ROM is awesome. but As we know it is a pain on the butt. I just can't do calls. I dial the number and it won't call. the camera app don't have a flash yet I think. and if you have a bad signal it gets worst. using your post I would like someone or maybe you if you know any other ROM to install on this phone. what is the best?
