[Q] ICS help - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed ICS on my T-mobile Vibrant and everything works except for the "phone" part. I can't connect to T-mobile for whatever reason and I really like Android 4.0, but I might just go back to CM7 if I can't fix this. Any suggestions?
Here's the link to the thread from where I downloaded the ROM:

Are you having issues hearing, or flat out not connecting to the network at all?

Cannot connect to TMobile after updating to ICS
I have the same problem.
After updating my Samsung Vibrant T959 to ICS, I cannot connect to T-mobile. The network kept searching for the available network but did not find anything.
My Wifi worked OK, I could search the web, but I could not connect to T-mobile to make a call.
Please help.
Thanks,
Tommy

Yes, im having the same prooblem as you. Anyone knows how to fix it?
Go to modems thread in dev forum and flash the needed modem.
And check your APN settings to ensure they are correct for your carrier.

Can't Save APN Settings RemICS Rom

Hello. I have a Samsung Vibrant and I just flashed RemICS rom and it looks great. The only problem is that I cannot seem to get my internet settings back in. I go to mobile networks, select add new apn, put in the apn settings, then click save. Then it returns me to a blank apn list. I reboot and go back to see if it is in the list and it's not. I've tried this three times and for some reason it won't save my apn settings. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks.
The issue might be due to the fact that Remics currently has an issue with baseband and I believe imei as well. They are working on a new base for their ROM. Try a different jb rim and see if it works. * if you flash hellybean use 0817 build not 0820.

Just to be clear, did you flash the ICS version, or the JB version?
As samsgun mentioned, the JB rom currently has some issues that will be resolved soon enough, but for now leaves you without any data connection. If, however, you flashed the ICS version (Which I am currently running, and love) we can try and get down solving your problem. But before we figure out what to fix, we have to know what we are working with ^^

I flashed the JB version. I didn't see the ICS version. I also flashed HellyBean the 820 version and same issue. Someone above said the 817 version might work. I really love the rom but I need data because I'm out and about a lot and need to get my work emails while Im out. I'm going to donate cause the rom is great and such hard work went into it. I think ill try the ICS version until the data is working for the JB version.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll report in after I falsh the ICS version.

Here is a DL link for the ICS version: http://billionuploads.com/s5sfwymw536s
That's two jb ROMs that will mess up baseband remics and hellybean 0820, thus the reason I said flash 0817 build.
All should be fine with remics ICS. It is an outstanding ROM!

Hey guys,
I've been struggling with the same problem for weeks now. It doesn't matter what I do, the APNs settings won't save unless I flash back to an older ROM. Below I've listed some of the stuff I tried:
- Reboot the device multiple times
- Disable/enable flight mode and reboot
- Switch to "3G" only and back
- Add APN and wait a few minutes before saving
- Add APN and use back button instead of menu option to save
- Fix permissions under CWM
- Reinstall the ROM
- Flash other custom ROMs
- Flash other kernels
- Flash other modems
- Flash new ROM over working ROM without doing wipe/factory reset to keep settings
- Flash ROM without SIM and SD card
- Manually populating preferred-apn.xml
- Deleting telephony.db
- Confirm that telephony.db gets populated correctly
- Confirm that my sp settings are in apns-conf.xml
- Copied apns-conf.xml from known working ROM
- Use "APN Backup & Restore"
I even checked the logs while trying to add APN settings and found the following error: "Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator". It comes from a file called "TelephonyProvider.java", but I haven't made any progress with it.
I'm going to kick myself if the solution ends up being something as simple as fiddling with the user agent settings. But I'm not quite sure how this affects the system APN settings, do you perhaps know?
FYI, I actually have a Galaxy S2 and already posted in the S2 forums, but no luck yet. So I'm trying every possible solution that I can find. I also have a replacement SIM on its way, but it will take about 3 days to arrive.
I actually got the network in remics working but I had to flash a different kernel I told (patrick)or who ever is it that maintain that rom here, I couldnt get sound or camera but as of the network and apns it was running good...

[Q] Modem issues with Voice Dialing Mod

Hello,
I have installed the voice dialing mod onto my Gt-P7500. (P7500XXKL3)
All appeared to be working fine, and I was very happy.. Until I realised that the 3G wasn't working anymore. It kept toggling Flight mode on/off quickly and not connecting. Only 2G works.
I did lots of playing around, and discovered that my network carrier MTN in South Africa doesn't work with the new modem files.
Vodacom/Vodafone does work however.
So I reflashed the XXKL3 modem file back, and 3G worked again, but I can't make phone calls.. but I can dial *xxx# type numbers.
Is there anyway that Almaqdad could please have a look into it and see if he get it work somehow?
Or does anyone know if there are other modem files out there that might work?
Many thanks!
I flashed stock ICS ROM 4.0.4 Italy using ODIN on P7500 earlier running stock HC 3.2 INU. Then I have installed the voice dialing mod. Now both voice and 3G have been working well.
XXKL4
I am going to try XXKL4 modem, and will report back.

P7500XXLQ8 doesn't work for me either.
This leads me to believe that only installing the Voice Dialing Mod Zip files are is not enough.. there's something special with the accompanying modem files as well. sigh..
The correct and accompanying modem version to use is the I9103XXLQ3.
Looks like my network carrier is just not in the list..

Sorry, that's the ROM I'm using.
The problem is that when I use my network carrier MTN RSA's Sim Card, I can do voice dialing, but my 3G doesn't work.
If i put my Vodafone Sim in, then it all works fine.
I still have a year left with a data plan on MTN, so I can't just ditch it..

Maps location do not work, can't get a location-signal

Hi guys,
After rooting my s2 I put the helly bean 4.1.2 ROM. Everything works fine, except the maps.
Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940321 for the custom ROM.
I cant get any location with 3g or GPS enabled with the Google maps. And I have it enabled from the location access in the settings.
It says always 'your current location is temporarily unavailable' and I can't fix it.
If I am connected to a WiFi then it works, but if I am home I don't need it.
Does anybody know what to do? I am using maps almost every day and now i cant.

My network signal in general you mean ? it is good , but comparing to other phones near me (from friends) , it could be better!
How can i flash an other modem ? is it worth it ?
Well...you could try that. It can't never hurt.

Thank you very much , i am searching for a modem in my region , otherwise i will just flash any of them and see what happens.
In sammobile.com which file should i download? Where it says download the files are big , i think these are ROMs. (when i was flashing a rom i also downloaded from there my original rom in case something happens)
hmmm..I'm pretty sure there are modems there too, I dunno.
But yeah, go ahead and change modems to see what happens with that crazy gps and all.
