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.

CM7 and probably part of CM9 had intermittent issues so latest CM10 is best.

I used for a while the CM9 on sensation xe and had no issues with data connection. After moving to the CM10 (CM version= 10-20130119-EXPERIMENTAL-pyramid) I'm now having that problem. The WIFI works great but no data connection on the mobile network. I tried rebooting, wiping cach/dalvik cach, reset network to default settings...nothing worked for me.
any help!

My girlfriend recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V). I enjoy all the features I get from rooting, etc on my G2. I saw the Gingerbread update from T-Mobile and have installed it for her. I wanted her to be able to have root, remove bloatware and have the lagfix (voodoo, assuming it is still needed) working. As I was getting ready to find her a good ROM this CM 911 dustup happened. It's ok if she keeps the Samsung ROM, my question is where is this 911 "feature" stored? In other words, what can be done to her phone without destroying emergancy calling? I am pretty sure just rooting it is fine. Removing bloatware after rooting should be good also. I believe the lagfix replaces the kernel. If the kernel gets replaced will that break 911 calls? Is anyone working on a stock GB ROM (as officially released Nov 15) that would have root, removed bloat, and anything else safe that keeps 911 working? I would be glad to wipe the phone, root, remove bloat, (lagfix?) myself and post. I just do not know what is safe to play with. Is this just a radio issue, library issue or kernel issue? Any information would be appriciated. I would like to make her android experiance a good one that still allows her to call 911. I have searched the forums and the web but can't seem to nail down a good answer of what can be changed and what must be left alone to allow 911 to work.
911 operators are drunks anyways... here's some proof, provided from a random Google search.
This is the vibrant forum,sgh-t959 not t959v... very different..
From my understanding, cm7 is the only one with the 911 problem (and any rom coming from cm7)
. Stick to samsung roms and your good. Also the 911 thing isnt the end of the world.. you call them, they cant hear you.. hang up and theyll call you back

Ah, since the download for the updater said "Vibrant" (offical from Samsung) and the model number is so close I assumed they were mostly the same. I see now there is a S 4G forum. Sorry for the mix up. I would assume this phone could have the same issues if CM was ported. Currently it is listed as not supported. I'll move to the right forum and dig some more. Sorry for the waste of space. If anyone knows if these are affected by the 911 issue feel free to chime in. Or if a moderator wants to move this to the othe forum feel free.
Thanks
Lol the waste of space is no big deal and your right, id forgotten that they call yours the vibrant 4g. But still the two phones are very different hardwarewise, idk why.

You cant use vibrant rom. Both phone have different hardware. BTW you know the T959v 4g have Official Gingerbread.
Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if I'm the only one or not since I haven't seen this issue in any of the threads for any JB Roms. This doesn't seem to be a problem for any 1 Rom, so I'm thinking it has to do with the CM10 base everyone is using. Here is the problem:
Everything is fine on the Rom for a few days - I can browse the web, make calls, get emails, etc... Then, I'll make a call, and the call will connect (call timer starts on screen), but I can't hear the person on the other end, and they can't hear me. I know this for a fact because I called my wife's phone which I was using as a test.
It would continue to stay like this (even after rebooting normal, rebooting to recovery and wiping cache / dalvik). The only thing that seemed to fix the problem would be to re-install the Rom.
For now I'm back on one of the CM9 Roms, and everything is ok. I really like CM10, but don't want to potentially get into an emergency situation, and then not be able to use my phone, or go to make a business call, and look like an idiot because people can't hear me, etc...
I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this, or has a fix? Thanks for your input.
what Rom ? (specific)
what carrier? ( is this an ATT device running with a different carrier? )
what region? (are you in the US, Canada, or elsewhere? )
Most reports are leaning toward the modem as the issue. If we know the above information, we can suggest a fix or patch based on them....g

Rom: I've tried all of the CM10 Roms currently available, and it happened on each of those. Most recent was CM10Hybrid Paranoid Android.
Carrier: AT&T
Region: US. More specifically - South East.
The last modem I flashed directly (unless one was cooked into a rom), was UCLF6.

Lets test this a bit more....
Download and flash the Stock, UCLA1 modem, then reboot it 3 times. then try a call to a test device.
I've had marginal success with the modems above the UCLA range, and am using the UCLA1 Modem on virtually all of the roms I use. ( now if I could get all 1352 apn's from the stock rom to work...LOL ).....
It may show up as "unknown" in the "about phone" settings, but based on the tests I've done with it, you should be safe on the IMEI loss issue that some TMO users are reporting.
There is always that chance, but where you are US based on ATT, and that is their modem, you should be fine.
Test that bad boy out, and report back if ya would...thank you....g
I think its just the cm10 roms ..mainly because I've seen a post like this in all the JB forums...

I second that as the same happened to me, but all I did was reboot and it solved the issue. Happens at least once or twice a day for me.

Have any of you tried a scheduled cache clearing app ?
I've found many issues due to cache building in the background APK's....
It effectively bogs down everything , and once cleaned , fixes "a lot " of issues ...
Could someone test this and report back ?
At least we would know where to look at fixing the issues, rather than assuming it's a modem issue .....g
I'm close to throwing myself behind a driving bus...
No matter what CM10 I try, the phone randomly locks its SIM card again and again.
Sometimes it just takes minutes, sometimes 2 hours.
No rebooting or so, it just "loses" its PIN.
Reenter and all fine...'til next time that is...
I was coming from rooted 4.0.3 stock, but now, whatever CM10 I install, same behaviour.
Be it CM10 AOSP, AOKP, vSync exp., doesn't matter.
The last one I remember to have been stable was nightly CM AOSP 21092012.
So I tried to do search, XDA...Google...answers sounded to me as if it could have been this ominous RIL thingy.
So I got myself getRIL which installed me an other RIL to my original BUKP baseband.
No help.
I read of people recommending LQ6 modem.
Installed it, added LPQ RIL.
Same ****.
Changed RIL to LQB.
But still...
Now, is there anything I have overseen?
Misunderstood?
Or is this a known issue I was not aware of?
I mean, yes, it's not an officially released FW and I wouldn't bother to deal with one bug or two, but if I can't rely on at least being available and reachable by phone, this unfortunately is a no go for me.
If at least it would wave the white flag so you knew when it happened...
So, any other help possible, folks, or do I have to revert to stock ICS?
Damn, I really love CM10, especially the latest vSync of today is running like...yeah...butter, I guess...

Thanx!
Ok...true, this would explain why my 21092012 nightly didn't have that problem - I had used the Siyah kernel with it back then.
This would mean to reintroduce the mem leak for now as far as I understand which is at least better because you know when the necessary reboot happens.
I'll give it a try, especially as the mem leak should be fixed in one of the next builds, I guess.
Thanx again for your help!

Hi guys,
I use AOKP Jellybean builds and have the latest one. I noticed that my GPS almost never gets a lock anymore, so I'm doing a complete wipe and reflash, but as I was doing this, I came across
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361393
I downloaded the top modem and I was going to install it but was wondering if there was a specific one that works 'best' for the Orange County / LA area? If I'm understanding this correctly, the right modem would help with GPS lock, or am I completely off here?
Also, when flashing a modem do I just put the zip file on the phone, just like a rom, then install from zip? Or are there special instructions? I did a little bit of searching (or else my question would've been even more vague haha!). Thanks for help in advance!

The link to the modems for AOSP based ROMs is at the bottom of the first post in that thread. Just flash one of those over yours.
I've been using KJ4 for some time. Seems to work ok. I'm in Orange County.
I've used both LE5 and KH7 in the Riverside area, and both seem to be pretty good.
Thanks, I do use AOKP but it seems they do not have a Jellybean modem, will the others still work?

Yes.

They seem to work but not as well as JB ones. Notice that I can lock on to satellites with other JB roms much quicker so I had to leave AOKP.
Like which? The AOKP modems for ICS did not work for me, it just said gps signal lost. I'm trying out the one recommended above for orange county, seems ok
Bad news, all modems I've tried end up with the "GPS Signal lost" message, if they even grab a signal at all.
Do I have to leave AOKP to fix this?

Recommended ROM for AOKP 4.2.1
I flashed my ROM to AOKP 4.2.1 and my reception seems to be terrible. I suspect it is that the ROM has a different modem. How to I flash back to the modem I had previously? Is it just like flashing the ROM through CWM?

Are you speaking from experience? I do not understand how a sim card would matter. If I need to put in a new sim card, will any arbitrary card from my carrier do or does it need to be a specific to LTE or 4G or some other requirement?

I was a bit surprised too. At first, I found that reseating my original sim card worked, but then when I reseated again I would lose gps signal quickly. I went to AT&T and asked them to swap the sim just for the heck of it, and sure enough it's worked 2-3 times now, no problem. Could be the way it was seated, who knows

See how it goes, you should be able to tell right away usually. If you have an AT&T nearby, you could also try swapping it out for another sim
Hello XDA World,
I have had my i717(AT&T) for few years and over those years used roms with no issues at all, anyone else having issues with candycatt besides the known issues of flicker and or camera? I installed this rom to instructions standards, and to my own haha (even uber version).
Qlease anyone have an issue or fix for no data (can place/receive calls and text) no internet unless wifi?
Other roms (old/new) even with no MD5 i still get data.
My Candycatt:
Pros:
Great Rom
Smooth and Fast
Not a battery destroyer
Cons:
No Data (for me)
Flicker (trying a fix/patch found in thread)
Random Reboots
Update 4/14 241pm: I was At&t contract then switch to go phone, i called them first because was not getting 4g LTE they fixed it on there end, guess the go phone card (new) stated i had basic phone....at that time i reverted back to blackstar x1 everything worked except minor issues guessing do to md5.
Sincerely,
a not so noob, but still a noob

Thank you for the quick reply, I am ATT and went from contract to go phone 4g LTE prepaid. I called them and fixed issue few days ago because was not getting 4g LTE service or Data...it was an issue on there end guess there updated info said i had a basic bell phone.
When i reverted back to Blackstar X1 data worked fine, but rom had issues not sure if MD5 error or due to new version of JB/KITKAT.

Yes it is, fallowed step by step as usual and directed on thread. Since having issues and 3+ installs and no fixes I checked and cleaned all xboxes through latest twrp. After instruction step by step I tried so many ways haha. Wipe after zip flash, wipe after ROM boot the whole 9 yards.
My phone says 4g LTE and standard os settings reads ATT network, with out WiFi browser and Google play state no connection. When I get time I will send photos of important settings and issues with this ROM and old black star to prove DATA works on other ROMs.
