i have been using my optimus v for close to a year now. i got it right when they had their huge data outage last year. i have had official 3g data on it for 2 weeks, then kaput...nothing. i have had service turned back on twice in this year and neither time have i had 3g.
im running a CM7 port (BOBZHOME CM7RC1) on my phone now, but the 3g didnt work in stock either. phone does though.
virgin has "restarted" my 3g from their end countless times and walked me through stuff on my phone. nothing has worked. the only weird thing i can find is that my MEID looks different from my wife's (she has an optimus v as well). her actual MEID is close, but hers is preceded by a large number in (##) parenthesis. could it be some problem with that?
and i have read and read through the forums for the development of my CM7 port, the official CM7 version that was ported and even other people having similar problems on other phones. there are no loss of 3g problems with my port according to the community or the developers. so, might not be the rom.
are there any little tricks i can try or any way i have to have my phone set up or any apps that might be interfering? its driving me nuts!! just paid for a month and cant use data!!
didnt work in stock or CM7 with android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

Which baseband version do you have? v20G or v10E? Oh and you might of switched to "Use only 2G networks" mode. You can check by going to settings-Wireless and networks-mobile networks-then you will see it at the bottom
baseband says "unknown"
And the option for "2g" only isn't there.

no such critter.
you can get it for the optimus s, but the pv4 and pv5 baseband cab files released by lg for the optimus v are each missing a dll file that lets the phone service tools fully unpack the cab to bin, prl, scr, etc.
if you use the optimus s firmware/radio, you will permanently lose that 3g connection you're trying to recover.
ok. i fixed it. i had to do what i was dreading doing from the beginning. i flashed back to the stock and ran the activation app. the activation failed but my 3g turned right on. and right after that i rebooted into recovery and flashed the latest bobzhome CM7.2 port. still works.
also, the clockwork recovery i have doesnt have a button command to boot into recovery. so, if you flash to the stock you will not be able to reboot into recovery from the OS and might not be able to use a button commands. what i had to do was plug in the usb and use an ADB command.
adb reboot recovery

and boom, i was on my way. glad i had my PC set up to send ADB commands.

This thread is for the talk about Android phones on the Cricket wireless Android plan. I have started this thread out of respect of "token419" to keep his thread Clean for his support and development.
If you signup or change your plan to Crickets Android plan you no longer need a WAP proxy. MMS well also work with only the need to setup your APNs. Your internet well be much faster in most cases 2x as fast.
It although can be a large pain in the A** to get cricket to make the appropriate changes to your account. There are people around the internet that can and well make account changes for a small fee. It can be done with out having to resort to that though and can take many I repeat many calls to cricket to get this done. some say all you have to do is request to be put on the "ADR Smartphone All In $55" plan. Others like my self also got there phone type listing changed form CPE "Customer Provided Equipment" to the "Kyocera M6000".
ONCE YOU GET YOUR SELF ON THE ANDROID PLAN:
Don't forget to remove your "autostart.sh" and your "u2nl". autostart.sh is in /data/opt and your u2nl is in /system/bin. Or you could simply remove autostart and reset your phone.
Please post your successes
I plan to upgrade to this plan. I have an incredible and my girlfriend has a hero. My incredible can access the internet and apps work but no mms. The hero can't access anything or send mms.
I got my data working from one of the zip files token419 uploaded will these apns work even though MMS isn't working at this point? Also not having anything work on the hero I am assuming something is wrong in the pst settings but I can not access epst from ##778# I can from ##data# but I don't think all f the needed settings are there. Any thoughts?
Thanks

The APNs form Token's .zip Should work, they did for me.
On my eris some ROMs don't support diagnostic dialing. Ported froyo ROMs in my experience defiantly don't. It's more then likely the same for the Hero. your best bet is to flash to a rooted stock rom or some kind of plainJane rom then do your epst settings.
Also if you can dial ##diag you could change the appropriate pst settings from something like QPST.
whats the speed difference between the android plan and the unlimited 45 plan(which im on)?
My speeds are averaging about 500kb(download) and about 600-700(upload)...is there that much a difference? And you said MMS should now work even on AOSP roms? im on CM RC1 and was wondering this before i changed over my plan to the android plan.

Yeah it's weird I tried it on both 1.5 and 2.1 stock roms. I tried using qpst with no change maybe I missed something. I am used to flashing WM phones from the phones epst settings so qpst was new for me.
The hero is stuck saying "turning on...." for the mobile network could something else be causing this?
Thanks
ok so i think i got that all taken care of finally. so a fresh installed rom with the normal apn changes made are all thats needed now?
mms still leaves me with some questions specially when dealing with sprint roms and the evo since i know the aosp cm6 still puts sprint in the banner unless i change the eri.xml file and the stock messenger def has sprint things in it but we will figure that out soon enough

Hmm... I don't know I'v never had that problem. In my experience flashing a WM and a android Phone are almost identical processes. Maybe on your hero you should flash over a factory rom with a factory radio return it to a completely stock phone and start over???

Hey fellow xda members,
I have to check out my sisters vibrant this weekend.... (she is so not tech friendly)
Its her 3rd vibrant and all had same issues... Rebooting, dropping signal and data and the whole not sending sms and mms messages.... She talked to tmobile and they had no clue and essentially gave up on her....
What are my options to trying to get this working for her. And/or what can/should say to T-mobile about resolving this issue... They offered her an exchange at one time but it was a very low end phone... Not a good deal if u ask me..
1. Tried rooting on her first phone-wasnt successful...(i didnt root it so not sure)
2. Possible bad kernel or radio causing these issues... Hard to believe that 3 phones .
3. Still running stock software as tmobile told her not to update phone to latest software . (she did that with her 2nd phone and same result)
4. Could rooting and a finished rom resolve some or most of her issues?
(I have had several android phones and all were rooted so i know)
5.... CLUELESS....
Well if your trying to update your phone to froyo id recomend you to flash a custom rom from the vibrant developement if you dont know how to root your fone download the vibrant toolbox on your pc and it has like 10 steps (all of them are in order so you wont get confused and since your phone its not rooted theres and option that says ROOT YOUR PHONE start from that step.. click on that box and it tells you the steps and what you should do but you must have usb debbugin ebabled

Naw its all good I know how to root just not too sure if a custom rom would correct the issues she is having.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Try it if its still the same go to SETTINGS, WIRELESS AND NETWORKS, MOBILE NETWORKS make sure that the USE PACKET DATA box is checked and if motbtry to contact one of the devs one of them could be WHITEHAWKS or somethin lik that... they are gona tell you what to do
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Odin to 2.1 then d/l rom manager then root then get Biwinning or Trigger or ZenDroid all are Froyo roms all will resolve you problems
The problem you are having is a result of human action......... the chances of 3 phones all having the same problem is like winning the Lotto.......
Human action I love it!!!! Lol will show my sister that. . Lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I went over to my families house the other day and my sister said, "look its doing it again". When I looked over the phone was shutting down and rebooting. I asked her if it did that alot and she said it had just started in the past few days. She did not mention dropping data connection or having problems with sms or mms. A while back I rooted her phone and added MobileAP but that is all. Everything else is still stock and no official updates were applied either.
My plan is to backup all her stuff this weekend and flash something onto it. I told her we would find a good stable ROM for her and some theme options she would like and just do it all on sat or sun. I'm not sure if that is gonna fix her problem as I wanna believe its a hardware defect but she doesn't wanna exchange it just yet and I'm done arguing with her. If that doesn't werk I told her we would have to put it back to stock and call T-mobile. That's our plan, hope it helps on ur decision. Good luck!
@kawika thanks it didnt help lol
Im going to root her phone and install Iunno looking at a 2.2 rom maybe...Trigger rom.
I cant believe that three phones later she has same issues.. Specially since her hubby and daughter have a Cliq xt and have better reception then hers...
? do i need to install a new modem/radio as well as flashing rom? And how do I know which is the right one?

And you stated in the OP, she is on stock software. For sure? The rebooting when signal dropped low was a bug in the services.jar of our initial i9000, android 2.2.1 ports. This was of course patched by Eugene373 with further work by birgertime (and some fumbling by myself) in the official ports of 2.2.1 for the Vibrant. If she is definitely on stock software with no mods though, then that doesn't apply, but was my first instinct.
Most roms we have out now, with the exception of GingerCloneR3, come bundled with modems. They are most likely the modem that the rom chef/dev likes the best, but you can always flash a new modem on top of a custom rom. Different users in different areas have different results with different modems. Gotta test them to see what works the best for her.
Flashable modems are all here, courtesy of scrizz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
Those can be flashed over any rom, just make sure you grab a 2.2 modem for froyo, or 2.1 for eclair respectively.
You might want to start with running Odin to flash her back to stock software, and then go from there. If you are going to do that, I recommend a modded Odin package by Eugene, available here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3 . Its stock-ish JK2 Froyo for the Vibrant, already rooted, with superuser and busybox, and modded 2e recovery so you can easily flash and install Clockwork Recovery if you choose to do so. That file is my go to, when all else fails and I need to get back to stock.
Good luck with your endeavors, hope some of this helps.
she is def on stock 2.1 for sure.!.
thanx... will keep yaz informed heading on the road now.. b there in 5plus hours
This sounds very familiar to problems my Vibrant was having. It turned out to be a flakey SIM card. I went to my local T-Mobile store and they swapped it for a new one at no charge. That fixed all of my SMS & connectivity issues. It might be worth a try, it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to get a new SIM card put in.
Lol she had one replaced as well and same issue..

Hey guys. Little new to the TBolt crew here.
I've been rooting for a bit. Did an HTC Hero, a DROID Eric, an Incredible... Now I've got a TBolt sitting here that I just rooted about an hour ago. It was running 4G just fine both before and after the root, but after installing a CM7 ROM (SFK's to be precise) I haven't seen 4G pop up since. I've tried a couple other CM7 roms, but nothing seems to make a difference - it only runs on 3G.
I was thinking it might be a radio problem, but admittedly I'm pretty novice with this stuff. I just flash what sounds interesting, and if it's not as stable as I'd like I find something else to flash. Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong? And what I can download to fix it?
EDIT: After giving up and deciding to go back to my backup of "stock" that I'd just made... now it's failing to properly back up. This wonderful error about data being corrupted with the only button available being "I'm Feeling Lucky" and still no 4G, only 3G. Now I'm at a complete loss.
I have a Nexus sitting next to me clearly connected to 4G just fine, so I know it's not a network issue. What the heck is going on here?
I'm sure you have, but never know... have you checked your wireless network settings?
Settings--Wireless & Networks--Mobile Networks--Network Mode.
Make sure LTE/CDMA is selected.

most roms are built with a specific radio in mind i would try to flash one of the newer radios they work better drain less battery and are more compatible with rooted roms.
Hello,
I have an AT&T galaxy Note.I was using my phone just an hour ago browsing online and all of a sudden I lost my 4G signal. There is no internet connection at all. I've tried restarting the phone couple of times. I took the SIM card out for about 10 mins and still nothing.
I also then notice that the cell signal would intermittently disappear as well hence I cannot make a phone call.
My phone is ICS, I cannot exactly remember which ROM this is and I cannot remember which thread it came from but the zip file is titled "SGH-I717-UCLF6BS.ZIP". From what I understand, this is a slightly modified samsung ICS ROM and the superuser root app is built-in to this ROM.
Here's the spec:
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I717UCLF6
Kernerl Version: 3.0.8
Build Number: IMM76D.UCLF6
Any ideas what happened to my phone and fix? Thank you guys, I appreciate your responses!!!
UGH!! I think I posted this in the wrong forum. I apologize!! =( Please move if needed.
Thanks!

Yes I do.. Is this just an outtage?? My wife's iphone has 4G and she never lost the signal while I still don't have 4G on mine.
Just found this Padawan ICS ROM which is very tempting to install. If I still don't a 4G by tomorrow, I'll flash the ROM and hopefully that fixes it.
Thanks.
Roms don't correct this issue. I would give it a little time, verify APN settings, make a complete backup, and wait.
Hi guys... I'm trying to solve a problem with my Vibrant, CM10 works except it doesn't give me data connection. But first I have to tell you a bit of a backstory
So, a couple of months ago I was a Vibrant CM9 user, never been able to solve the data problem with CM10 so I stick w/ 9. Then I decided to sell my phone and I put up an annuncment saying the phone has this and that and that and it comes with ICS.
Then CM9 for Vibrant disappeared from CM site (never understood why) and I couldn't sell my device with a ROM that was not supported anymore. I found a buyer and told him that actually I wasn't able to give him the phone w/ ICS and he was fine with it, so I sold the phone.
Now he just called me and said that the CM7 was draining is battery in 4h (never happened to me) and so he had someone installing another ICS custom ROM (he doesn't know which one) but it is buggy and bla bla bla and he asked for my help.
I don't want to ignore him, I was the one who kinda dropped the ball in the first place not giving him what I promised, and the easiest, quickest and better way to help him would be to having him install CM10 and solve the data connection thing. Another easy way would be to get a CM9 zip, but there must have been a reason for them to remove it... right?
Why all the story? To tell you that now I have to fix a problem on a device that I don't have with me
Now I explained everything to him and instructed him to install CM10, and I'm waiting to hear back from him.
I live in Italy and I have a minor carrier, he has one of the big ones... I was hoping that that alone could solve the problem, but most likely it doesn't matter at all.
Any suggestions?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Flashing any Jelly Bean ROM on one of the Vibrants I have with no SIM card installed will yield no cell data when the card is put back in.
Flash the same ROM with the SIM card in and cell data comes up perfect.
If you're flashing with the SIM card out it might be worth trying with it back in...
The other Vibrant I have doesn't care at all if the card is in or out.
Thank you for your help, I don't believe this applies to the Vibrant that I had, but I'll remember it and I'll try to put the sim in and out or something. The guy didn't reply to me yet... we'll see.
In the mean time any other thoughts are welcome
CM7 should NOT be used. Ideally you should run CM10 or CM10.1 to make sure you have the best E911 experience.
Has he tried flashing CM10 maybe it'll work with his SIM card or however he does it.

Did you mean CM9? Because of the EU Bug? Or what is wrong with CM7?
Anyway E911 is not important because in Europe the universal emergency number is that uses the E911 system is 112, but here in Italy we are retarded and we didn't implemented it yet. Seems like it's a work-in-progress thing, but it's complicated because in Italy 112 has always been another emergency number (carabinieri answer to it)... and also because we are retarded.
