[Q] Cell Broadcast Settings in CM9 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends,
Am currently on the 26th Nightly. Issue is am getting annoying popups on the screen informing me about my data usage. Googling a little told me that I have to disable Cell Broadcast in CB settings but am not able to find this screen anywhere. Question is
1) Is the CB settings screen present in CM9? If yes where is it?
Searched the forums and internet but found no solution
Any help will be appreicated. Thanks

not sure if this is the same thing but i also had a data usage warning that appeared (not a popup) and that was resolved by Settings>Data usage> and lifting the warning level. hope that in some way helps, i couldn't find the CB setting either

The data usage warning is something different than this problem. This is the message which keeps popping up from my carrier saying "I have used XX kb. Remaining balance is YY kb".
This started happening when I installed the latest modem.

Bump
10 chars...

Searched for it either. Can not find it.
I need it for NL-Alert in the Netherlands. An alert is send on channel 919 and monday is the test in whole the country.
Is there an App that supports it?

Too bad these settings (from that patch) aren't written in the sim, they are just intercepted and left out by the phone. Have lemons, make lemonade :highfive:

[Q] Dialer issue - phone reboots when making calls

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!

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?

You're not searching right. There have been at least two threads about this issue just here in the XDA forums that I've answered this in.

ok, thanks i´m sorry for the mistake i didn´t search it that way, besides the name of the post is quite different from that i´ve searched but still thanks for the help man, and i´m not root yet, i´m a little affraid of rooting my phone because when the screen is black in the camera app, there are zones of the screen that looks a little bit darker than the others, and i think soon i´m gonna have to take it to warranty, that´s the main reason of why i don´t root my phone

[Q] Data services stcking after rom update

Hi All,
Just joined and first post after rooting early today and got a question for you - which hopefully someone will be able to answer!
I rooted my phone today and used the below ROM for the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445555
however since i updated it data services are very ropey, Twitter, Facebook and Internet Browser all stick and eventually time out, if i turn the wifi on and then off it comes back for a minute then ends up reacting the same.
Someone mentions about turning APN authentification to PAP, done that and no change - UK model so dont know if that makes any difference!
Cheers for any help you all can give, glad to finally be a member after a while of lurking!

[Q] Screen keep auto lightning up?

My SIII screen keep auto lightning up (and turn off) 3 to 5 times for every ~5 minutes without any notifications or messages incoming. Can anyone help me to fix this error?
Sorry if this topic is already posted. I tried to search for the similar topic but the search engine seem to be unavailable now. And after looking in about 10 pages in SIII Q&A forum I gave up @[email protected]
Do you have any apps installed that need active connections or precise timing.
(E.g. ClockSync, ...)
same thing here.
Hi I also experienced the same thing after updating to the current firmware thru Kies (im currently at i9300XXALF6) but before updating it I didn't have this symptom before, also my friend is experiencing this after the update also.
It just shows the lock screen for no reason.

then I update the new firmware through Kies , still the same
I even tried turn off the auto brightness --> still happen

[Q] Notification sounds

Okay need some help, I currently stock but rooted build ME7. Ive looked everywhere for an answer to this issue with no luck. I got some ideas from older threads on other forums but no answers to my particular issue. I have a constant notification sound. I downloaded a app called notification history from the play store. When I hear the sound nothing is showing in the notification tray but it shows up here. Its coming from the android system. Its showing tap to configure networks. I dont have anything checked in the wifi settings. Can anyone help with this?
