I have a touchpad running a recent nightly of cm9, I'm developinig an android app that has different views depending on whether the android device has a sim card or not. The app works fine on a phone with or without a sim card present but upon trying the app out on my touchpad it reports that there is a sim card. Is there anyway to remove this or is it what makes it ok to connect to google services?
Thanks for any help

Haven't ran into that issue. Try deleting your data.img from windows in the android (build) folder and boot android. Will loose all your apps and settings, but might fix your problem

I ran into this same problem too, ecept in WinMo I don't show any contacts either. Been running mattc leo 1.8 for a month, and no problems (except the internet disco issue) until today. Also, in the settings for wireless and mobile networks, it says "Mobile Network is disconnected because the radio was turned off." Deleting the data.img didn't work. I am going to try installing a new radio, and new android build later tonight and see if that takes care of it.
I installed CM9 alpha 0.03 and the wifi will not stay connected. The routers that worked perfectly with CM7 will not work with CM9, anyone else had/having trouble with wifi when using CM9?
Yes!! I had the same issue when I loaded it last night. went back to cm7 till the 3.0 kernal comes out.
Really, I haven't had this problem at all. Try turning the router. Also what wifi security type is it?

I rebooted the NT a couple times and so far (2 hours) the wifi is working as it should. I have been using this at work on two wireless routers and I'll be trying it at home soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed, I hope the wifi problem was temporary. I'm loving CM9 otherwise.
Edit: The wifi security is WPA2.
One little update on my wifi problem. The wifi was working perfectly at work and at home until I ran an app that needed the sd card mounted (I figured it was mounted at boot but it wasn't) so I removed/replaced the sd card and bam, the wifi stopped working. I repeated this 5 times, same result every time, so I need to find out what is causing this problem.
I'm having the same problem. My wifi drops out when I run certain apps. For me, it's dropped out when running Gmail or any mail app, and BBC World News app so far.
This was not a problem at all until I changed my email passwords. Probably a coincidence but it happened at the exact same time.
I'd just like to give an update to say that this randomly stopped happening as randomly as it started. I've no idea what the cause is.

I am also having a problem. I am running CM9 externally and my wifi was working great until one day it just would not turn on. I tried rebooting it to no avail. Wifi still works in CM7 and stock ROM. Anybody have an idea to fix it? Thanks.
External is susceptible to getting corrupted. I would backup by TiB folder first... then I would just reformat the card ( sdformatter 3.1 ) and re make it. Hey, try Jelly Bean !

Well I cleared data and reflashed. Everything is working again. Just curious, I thought the JB build for NT was still beta? And just to got totally noob on you, how would I flash it to a sdcard partition? Thanks for the help.

My bad. Jelly Bean is not 'external sd card' ready. Those guys are super smart, so maybe, hopefully, it will be soon.

I wonder if Succulent is working on it also ?
I have noticed that it is not possible to use GPS on Springboard without SIM card from TMobile and data plan. Does anyone know of any hack? I'd love to run applications like Copilot and use this as GPS.
I am running rooted Huawei Android 4.0.3 version BTW and that hasn't helped!
Thanks in advance for all your help.
you don't need a sim card so that GPS works.
i used my gps software Navigon on the mediapad with Flight Mode (to save some battery
I use GPS all the time without SIM card in my Springboard.
Might check your settings. An app like 'GPS Status' may also be helpful to see satellite status, etc.
Thank you all for your inputs. I guess something was wrong with my ROM - I updated the image to C232B005 and it has started working.
HI Everybody,
I installed the AOKP CM10 ROM from this forum and the install went great. Thanks for that. Things were going along well but then it seems to have unmount the SD card. The card is mounted after a fresh reboot but then it is unmounted (and can't be remounted as far as I can tell) when the tablet goes to sleep (screen blank). The odd thing is that Root Explorer won't show the files but it has the correct usage of the card listed. It says the card is empty. If I reboot again, it's there and can be used. If it goes to sleep again the card is unmounted or put into the funky state. It's very odd.
I had CM7 (also from this forum) running on it previously and it did not have this issue. It had the WIFI problem when it when to sleep but the SD card was rock solid.
Any ideas about what I can do? The version of the ROM is cm10-jb-aokp acclaim unofficial 0.01 and I did upgrade CWM to the 6.0.1.5 version before starting the install.
Thanks in advance for the help.

try moving all ur apps that depend on the sd card to the tablet itself and that should solve your problems...
Thanks, I thought about that. I'm just wondering if it's a problem with CM10 or something else. I think I only have one app that is currently using the SD card. I'll move it and I'm pretty sure my issue will be worked around. Would be nice to have this fixed though. I put movies on the SD card to watch them on plane flights. If it's not really working it makes it hard to do that.
Thanks again.

The SD card unmounting is a known bug in all the CM10 ROMs, and seems to be linked to WiFi waking and sleeping. The most common work-around is to manually turn off WiFi before your tablet goes to sleep. Alternatively, you can use an app like AutomateIt or Tasker to have WiFi turn off when the screen turns off. Since installing AutomateIt and configuring it to turn off WiFi when the screen turns off, I haven't had a problem with the SD card unmounting (on either the AOKP ROM or Demetris' CherryPick ROM).

Thanks for that. However I have some new information. I was waiting to see if this turned out to be stable and it does seem to be working. So on the original work-around to move any apps from the SD card to the internal memory I had only one app, Aldiko reader. The odd thing was that even installing it the first time it wanted to install onto the SD card. There was no way to force the install to the internal storage. Anyway, once I moved the app everything started working. It's been 2 days now that the SD card has stayed mounted. Also, the WIFI has been working great moving between my home network and the work network. So I'm not sure what is going on with the Aldiko reader but it somehow was causing the SD card to unmount when the tablet went to sleep. Very odd.
Thanks for all the help. Everything is working and it's work great! I moved the launcher over to the Nova launcher today as I wanted more home sceens (not that I really needed them just to see if that would work and it does). I couldn't get the default CM10 launcher to do that, at least I couldn't find a configuration option to allow that.

What you saw with Aldiko was intentional on the dev's behalf -- Aldiko is configured to install to external storage if it's available, and to store your library on external storage as well. You need to manually move it to internal storage.
The SD card unmounting bug is not limited to Aldiko, though it would seem that way if Aldiko was the only app you had installed in external storage. If you install anything onto your SD card in the future, you'll continue to see this bug... Many folks here have been able to turn the bug on and off by changing the Wi-Fi settings, which is why the recommended work around is to use AutomateIt to turn Wi-Fi on and off with the Screen.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep all the apps in the internal storage.
You guys have been a big help.
I had the same issues. I installed the codefireX ROM and my SD card and WiFi work great now.
Phone was working fine just a few days ago.
now when I boot the phone, I just get a "no SIM card Emergency calls only" message. I tried multiple sim cards from various companies and still nothing. I tried formating the phone, and I updated it with keis to the latest android (it was running 2.3). I ruled out that it is a sim card issue, and I think that I ruled out that it is a simple software issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Check your APN settings, that would be the first thing I would do. It's the simplest method to test immediately.
I don't know the settings off hand, but the stock ones are listed in the OP of this thread:

I don't believe its the apns. I cant even modify them without a Sim card in the phone
Well, sometimes the modem disconnects from the cell towers and you get these signal/data losses. In some cases the best practise is to switch airplane mode on and off and it usually reconnects.
