[Q] Mobile Data Issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Okay, I've read quite a few topics including the stickies, but this problem has been persisting and I need help.
So, I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) and downloaded the appropriate gapps, and all is well.
But this morning I noticed that my mobile data isn't working.
It says it is, but I can't send pics or use any form of the internet.
Anybody know why this is?
Or a good fix for this problem?
I saw something about reflashing the ROM, but never saw any confirmation.

First question: did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom?

1)check obvious issues pertaining to the problem you're having.2)search and search and search some more (ya know...like the welcome video you were supposed to watch when ya signed up says?http://youtu.be/JmvCpR45LKA) 3)if you still can't find an adequate resolution, post in a thread already existing with a similar issue (without necroing something obviously) 4) finally if all those steps have been follows and STILL can't find anything or a thread related to your issue, THEN post a new thread. Giving log costs details of your issues and what you've done to try and resolve them. If everyone did this, we'd have much less clutter to sift through .oh yeh. 5) profit.

Troubleshooting coZ rom by Cozmo1

Hey guys!
I recently started using Cozmo1's coZ rom and its great so far but I'm having a few issues.
This is the link to his rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337437
I would post this question the ROM page itself but it seems I cant because I'm a new member.
Anyways my problem has to do with data connectivity.
Very often, my phone simple doesn't have any reception bars and results in the ( / ) circle that indicates no reception.
The only way to fix this for me to is to toggle airplane mode on and off and after a minute or so it reenables.
The times I do have a consistent reception, after around 5 minutes of being idle, the data connection turns off completely. I thought this was
some kind of battery saving feature that automatically enables when I need to use data but the only way to get data is to toggle airplane mode on and off again.
This is giving me some serious issues as missing calls because of the ( / ) reception or extremely delayed text messages.
Also when I'm driving and need some quick directions, I can't use voice command to put in the address as this requires connectivity.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm. Also try fixing permissions in cwm if that doesn't work.

I'll throw you a bone... Sort of. Read the following threads (multiple times if you don't fully understand), then ask any questions you may still have. I'm not being rude, I'm being helpful. I still have lots of questions... I read a lot! Don't forget to read the links inside these threads!

As for your modem question: Basically, it controls you're connectivity to data, gps and, I believe, wifi. (please correct if wrong)
There is a thread (Google search: Modem i777 xda) you can find with different modems and a nap that might help you find which is likely to be the best for your area.

So would you guys say the answer to my problem is getting a new modem?
Did flashing the coZ rom somehow install a new modem over the stock one and start causing problems?
Actually according to the rom thread ( I know, who actually reads those?), it says it comes packaged with the stock modem.

Well if that's the case messing with the modem wouldn't really solve anything would it?

Just flashed it good sir and it seemed like it would work!
While using it though it randomly went to the ( / ) symbol and all data and connectivity was lost.
Had to toggle airplane mode for it to reenable
Some more suggestions would be nice peeps! :fingers-crossed:
It seems to have gotten kinda worse after the new modem. I have to restart my phone to reenable data connectivity now
Back up all your important info, reboot into cwm recovery, go to mounts/ storage, wipe the /system, data, cache partitions. Go back one screen , go to advanced, wipe dalvik. Then reinstall the ROM. If it fixes it, then yer good. If not its either a hardware issue or a ROM issue.

Maybe you could tell him that the software.zip was about halfway down the page on the thread you linked, instead of posting the canned response "Use the search" which yourself have failed to do as well.
Also, I've checked your profile and proper net-iquette is when someone helps you, that you thank them. There are many people (Samsgun357, Xeniosm, N00B_in_N33D,..) that have been trying to help you over the past few weeks and yet you haven't "thanked" any of them. It's free and doesn't really mean anthing, but it is the thought that counts, know what I mean. Makes them want to help you further. You are limited to 8 on a PC and unlimited on Tapatalk/XDA app. According to your young, so we'll just chalk it up to that.
****************************
OP, here is what Lustergfx was trying to tell you (but there is far more to it than that). See the link I posted just above this. Look at item #6. Some of those links should help you out.
<SNIP>
ADDITIONAL TWEAK
Check out this thread here and read through the OP carefully. A few days ago I flashed "S.gps.zip" and I've had great results with it on Bionix 1.3.1 with the KA7 modem. I didn't see an increase in accuracy, but I did see a HUGE improvement on the speed my GPS locked and the number of birds locked too. I played around with all of the 2.2 modems last night and they all saw improved results.
If you decide to flash one of those zips, I recommend making a Nandroid backup first. In reading through the thread it appears that there are a few people that had their flashes result in broken GPS's. I have no idea why, I'd imagine it's because they didn't clear GPS data and they just think it's broken. I recommend making a backup, shutting off your GPS, booting into CWM, flashing the zip, rebooting, clearing GPS data, turning your GPS on and enjoying locks. And, as always, I recommend using GPS Test by Mike Lockwood to test your GPS every time you make a change.
The Super GPS should work on any ROM on an Vibrant, but it looks like a lot of people have tried it on 2.2 ROMS so be aware that, as always, there's the chance you may brick your device. If it works for you, be sure to thank jellette for his work. As always, I take no responsibility if this messes up your phone. I'm just relaying what worked for me.

Obtaining IP address

my atrix' wifi stucks on obtaining ip addr.
using Atrix MROM.
any way to fix?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried a different rom? If it works with that then its a rom issue and you should report the bug to the developer (if its not already a known issue)
Edit: Also should make sure it's not the wifi itself. Do that by either trying the phone on a different wifi network, or using a different device on it (preferably an android device.) Also make sure the password is right and such...
no. It occurs in ALL CM7 ROM!!

General android issue
I have had the same problem a lot, it appears to be a general android issue with several android phones.
But none of the solutions I have found have been a solid solution for this issue.
Usually when this happens I've been running the same rom for several months, I just update my rom and good as new.
(Please let us know if you find a permanent solution. Don't abandon this post )
Cheers.
Come to think of it... I do remember encountering this issue a while back... I want to say I was on gingerbread so could have been cm7 issue... I am on cm10 atm and had no problems with cm9 as well... I would recommend cm10, it is really nice
Can be router issue also.

[Q] GPS not locking satellite

Hi,
I have a Samsung s3 int I9300 and it can see a satellite but will not lock onto them and thus will not work with driving directions on google maps.
I have tested it side by side with an s2 and the s2 pics up a satellite quickly wile the s3 struggles to lock onto one.
My phone has been rooted and had Omega running on it but I have tried many different versions of firmware and also have done a full restore via odin and the 3 files.
It is connected to T-Mobile (EE) Uk and he internet is working perfectly.
Please can someone help me find out if it is a software of hardware error.
If you need any more info please ask and I will prove it straight away.
Thank you all :good:

try a different rom and/or kernel
HI,
I have just done a complete unroot and install using Odin. I am currently running a fresh I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU but still no gps!
I am running a stock kernel and Rom so am I right in thinking it is not a software issue?
I do not have insurance but as it is a hardware issue could I get Samsung to repair it for free?
Is there anything else I could try?

read this if yours is rebooting and unknown imei & baseband!

Mods please move this if necessary
Guys, I have to post this in hopes it will help others.
If you still have this device and had the problem where it reboots once it boots and have no imei and baseband, i solved it. finally!
I tried everything, EVERYTHING initially. i opened the device more times than i can remember. I changed the power button, gave it a chemical bath, removed the sim holder, adjusted every adjustable aspect of it but nothing. this started when i flashed some rom (cant remember which one), and it started rebooting as soon as the os loaded. not a random reboot but as soon as the os loaded, no matter what rom i flashed. thats when i tried all of the posted solutions on the power button issues of this phone. nothing worked. Then when i finally got a stock odin to work, i noticed i had baseband unknown and imei unknown and therefore no sim functions. i began researching and i did everything from flashing every available modem, to flashing all stock roms with odin and with keis, to that trick of forcing an iemi and adding some folder that may have been deleted. i even looked to order the sim holder that people recommended but i never bothered (thankfully) as many said it didnt work. I eventually was advised that my ONLY solution was to jtag it. i almost ordered devices like nspro etc, but alas, i gave up finally and just used it as a tablet with a rudimentary os (the only one that didnt reboot on me ) with abysmal battery life (3 to 4 hours on standby) until i finally left it in a drawer and forgot it for most of the year. Fast forward to yesterday. ill spare the details of why i had to, but basically i took back the challenge to get it working, believing that it was a software problem that i could solve with the help of xda's resources. and after a sleepless night and much research and trials, i finally have a fully working i717 with insane battery life (2% lost on standby overnight). so here's what i did. I used odin to flash this rom (email me for the link, i dont want to break any forum rules) and once it was done, the os began to boot but it stuck on the loading screen. this was actually good news since it wasnt rebooting! i left it for an hour just in case and eventually forced the shut down by holding power button (didnt remove the battery). then i booted into download and used odin to flash cwm recovery (latest one, search for an app to convert the img file to a md5 that odin can use). i booted into recovery and once there i downloaded the miui v5 rom in the development section of this forum, (i chose miui because initially it was the only other rom that didnt reboot, but i SUSPECT that the others should be fine now once i flashed the odin rom) and once it installed and booted, voila! cell reception and i can make and receive calls!. Everything is working perfectly now!! thank God. I left it on miui because i like it and it works as is, but i suppose the other roms like the 4.4 roms should, in theory, work now. in the link i have there is the rom AND a modem as well, i did NOT flash the modem as i didnt need to so you shouldnt have to either. Thanks for reading, and i sincerely hope that i could help someone out with this post. thanks to xda and the contributors who helped me through this ordeal!
Sincerely,
My phone rebooted 3 times while trying to read this. I wasn't sure if you were actually offering help or trying to sell us some new sports bra.
If you have some miracle files then post the link. Why make this an egg hunt? I'm sure the forum would appreciate it.

No need to be rude mate. And its not an 'egg hunt' if you read it you would see that i didnt want to break any forum rules by posting links without permission since i cant contact the owner of the site with the links. I didnt have to post anything atall and i asked for no gratitude in return but a little civility goes a long way.
I read this and thought xda became a blog site!
Just wanted to say thanks for your post cause I have been experiencing loss of my mobile signal after flashing to cm 10.1. I have been doing a ton of reading trying to solve my issue but can't seem to find a resolution.
