I have flashed to froyo and now back to stock. Question is both times I flashed some of my info on the sd card was still there i.e. movies, and music. Isn't it supposed to clear out everything? My apps and contacts were gone. The reason I am wondering is now (past 4 days) since flashing back to stock the phone has been dropping Wi-Fi in my house after sitting for a period of time (about 15 min) when I pick the phone up it shows that it uploading and downloading on 3g. Then when I unlock the phone it picks up my Wi-Fi immediately. Maybe it left some files behind? Also I received a text message about an update but after download it fails at 50% every time. I have also tried a manual update with the same results. Any ideas? I might send the phone back and get it replaced. I am still within my 30 days. It really makes me mad about dropping Wi-Fi when idling. Over the last 4 days my data use has been outrageous. I have the lowest plan because I am always around a Wi-Fi connection. Plus my GPS won’t lock at all. I was going to try and get lucky with another phone. I am using Odin to flash. When I do a master clear in Odin nothing happens. If I just click start it flashes fine. Would it be ok to send it back in its current state? This is what my phone info reads.

To fix your wifi problem go into your wifi settings & hit the menue button & select advanced & set your wifi sleep policy to never (remember to turn off wifi when your done or you'll get horrible battery life) & as for the other stuff your in the same boat as all of us still waiting for a update that will actually fix gps don't worry about JH7 it doesn't fix anything & just causes more problems. & reflashing doesn't always wipe the /sdcard partition this is a good thing. & shouldn't be causing you any problems. Just wait for the official froyo or use a better 2.1 rom like cognition with unhelpful's oc kernel for now. If your going to stay with att then this is as good as it's gona get for a while.

Thanks for the help! I didn't even know there was a sleep setting. Do you have any ideas why my updates are getting to 50% on the boot screen then failing?
When flashing with one click Odin, I would recommend to use the Master Clear before doing the rom flash. To Master clear, put the phone in USB debugging mode and connect. Odin should see the phone as a com port. Just remember to backup anything you want saved first. This is like doing a factory reset, it wipes all your info which may be causing your troubles.

I installed Froyo 2.2 a week ago on my Captivate. Also rooted my phone and fixed it to accept non-market apps.Now my 3G stopped working. I tried to reset my phone by turn my phone on holding vol button down and holding power button.The reset did not work. The phone would come on as normal. Can't restore phone or use the internet. Can anyone help me restore my phone and 3G?
Which ROM did you flash? Sounds like you flashed one of those EU ROMs that lacks 850MHz support. If this is the case, you will have to re-flash to a ROM that has the proper AT&T 3G support.
I used I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low. Don't know enough to know if it is att supported. Can you tell or suggest a better one.
Have you checked under settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, apn; that you have at&t network settings? Also check if there is an option to disable data on the rom you installed and that it is not disabled

That's the leaked AT&T ROM. IIRC, first time you fire up the ROM, you will be prompt to chose a data connection mode. You may accidentally chose wi-fi only mode. You will need to got to Settings to turn on cellular data connection or press and hold power button and select to turn on cell data connection.
You are right it is the leak version. I use the 3G data connection the first 4 or 5 days I had the ROM. Yesterday it stop working all of a sudden. I tried to change the setting but it will not let me. How do I reinstall Froyo or change back to the stock 2.1? Is there a more stable ROM? Been reading but need a little help.
Download Odin3 one-click, connect the phone on Download mode and hit Start. Wait a few minutes and you are back on stock
PD: My favorite roms are Assonance and Axura, they are the ones that i find more stable. Cognition and Perception are also popular. And there is a whole bunch of other custom roms as well that i have not tried yet...
Thank You. You have been very helpful. I use odin and hit master clear. Fixed my problem. went back to froyo2.2 new. I think I will try something new. Again Thanks
I am sort of at a loss. My Surround is losing it's celluar data settings every time I turn it off and boot it back up. The signal bars do no E, or G, or H or anything else. If I am not connected to wifi there is no data at all. Speaking of wi-fi, it also does not maintain most of my saved networks. The only one is does is the one at work.
I first ran into this after Mango RTM upgraded to final. I was having other issues (e.g. music search not working) and blamed it on the upgrade. At the time I WAS able to use the HTC connection setup to configure the cellular data connection. I finally did a complete wipe on it a couple of weeks ago; I flashed back to the original ROM release and let it spend the next couple of hours updating back to Mango. Everything seemed fine but in the last couple of days I have found the problem has returned. To make matters worse, I can't even seem to download the HTC connection setup app anymore.
I have tried multiple soft resets, battery pulls, booting up without the SIM and then booting up with it, etc. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it? The phone is pretty useless as a smartphone without a data connection.

Try that rom :] You need to do a RSPL / HSPL thing first;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
I suggest downgrading to a lower firmware and then doing so :] Mine does it from time to time aswell, Usually gets fixed when I--
1; get a call
2; turn wifi on or off
3; airplane mode
But even if it doesnt show the network type, It always works

Thanks. 1, 2, and 3 definitely don't fix it. It might be worth going with the custom ROM just so that it's unlocked and saves me from having to pay for the official unlock down the road sometime. One other thing is that around the same time I started getting some screen wonkiness. I would be trying to type something and the keyboard kept minimizing back to the bottom every few characters. Mainly only affected text messages though.
I decided to call AT&T to see if they might be able to force a refresh of the data settings. Since I've called them before on the problem the guy thinks it best to replace the phone. Guess we'll see what happens. May still do the ROM you suggested once I get it though.
Bleeping bleep bleep phone! Someone in a different thread suggested HTC might be able to help with an issue like this. Only solution they gave was a hard reset so I finally did that on I think it was Thurs or Fri. Everything was dandy at first. Fast forward to today and I notice this evening that my phone had lost it's settings again and once more I can't get them back. I also notice that it ate my saved wifi networks again.
I have the refurb device AT&T sent and I suppose I will go ahead and try to use it. I just hate having to set everything up...again. It's really getting old. Could my SIM card be to blame?
Haha. Going to be attending the local WP Insider Circle thing next week. Maybe I'll get lucky and win a new phone.
Hello XDA!
I was reading up in the developer section, modems for phones- and been using ki3 and thought id try out the kk3. I get great service, speeds were about the same with the infuse version, but noticed my clock was 6 hours ahead so i flashed over to ki3 and same issue. Ive tried multiple modems, same issue and reinstalled octane still.. same issue- however i didn't perform a factory reset- maybe that could be the cure?I just don't want to loose all the programs etc.. not a big deal, but trying to get around that. A temp fix for this issue is untick/tick "Automatic network-provided values" in time settings, which gives a correct time and then leave setting unchecked. Its not the end of the world, but if anyone has any advise id appreciate it. I was hoping re-flashing octane would fix the time problem, live and learn!

I didn't know there was a KK3 modem for the Galaxy S 4G. Are you sure you got the right modem?

KK3 modem is for Infuse 4g. Some Infuse 4G users use our modems with good results and the same with us.
I tried KK3, to me it's very good, didn't have issue with clock.
I'm not sure why its doing it.. If I do a factory reset with octane rom does it get deleted or certain files reset back to original settings?

Factory reset will just remove your user data. the modem is untouched by it
Well I did something wrong.. I went into recovery Wipe Cache
Wipe Davilk Cache, factory reset and went into dl mode. I then opened odin and followed these steps

Now I uncheck Automatic, click select time zone select Central time and YAY i have my time!.. Checking Automatic time, its incorrect and rebooting my phone i have to go through that process. Not a big deal like i said, but I just want to turn my phone on and have the correct time. checked everywhere and only found issues when people flashed modems. I only experienced this problem after a i flashed to back to ki3 from kk3. Thoughts?

(Has better signal and speeds than KI3, at the cost of significantly higher battery drain.)

Will add more as they come in...
* 4 hour clock jump NOT present with date and time set to auto update from network as observed on my phone.
after not using the kernel im at 6 hours.. lol, im just hoping that maybe I can go to stock or something- but im guessing maybe some system file was changed and will have to live with it. Could be worse and bricked, I suppose.
What kind of phone do you have?
galaxy t959
do you have mock locations enabled in settings/applications/development?
Ive enabled Mock locations now and its fixed the Central time issue, but still jumps 6 hours ahead (central time) with a restart or check/uncheck. I can run in manual mode, my big deal is resetting my phone and setting an alarm lol, i'll just have to double check for the time being.
I'm not sure you wan't to have mock locations enabled that is for development. I think your phone sees you in a different location than where you really are.
I'm guessing so.. After 10 min or so it jumps, thanks for your help. I'll just have to manually set it.

your time issues shouldn't be related to your modem I would try cycling your location settings (settings/location and security) that is the last ting that I can think of because it seems that your phone is always showing you UMT instead of your actual local time. after that I'm not sure what would be the reason.
what do you mean by cycling location settings?if you read my post earlier, it seems that when certain modems were used on infuse the clock jumped 4 hours, the same can be found in our modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436&page=11 and the infuse forum had issues with hours as well on certain modems
Hi
i have installed this awesome rom "Updated 3June12 [ROM][2.3.7][CWM] HebrewValhalla V3.4"
The word smooth has a sense
I have a signal issue.
when i go to an elevator without signal, the signal don't come back.
I have some bars in the signal bar but when i tried to call, i am getting Not Registered on network
it's not a sim issue, i have already replaced it.
Any ideas?
Did you try a reset and full wipe?
Your phone is picking up another network. Used to happen to me all the time. ATT has a stronger signal where I live and my phone would lock onto it for hours at a time. Didn't matter if I manually selected the carrier or not. After hours on the phone with Tmob they finally let me out of my contract.

If you were on a contract plan shouldnt it pick up the att towers as "roaming" since your t-mo towers werent as powerful?
If that is whats happening it explains why I cant get service in walmart. Im on the prepaid plan so no roaming for me.
No roaming agreement between ATT and Tmob at the time. It was right when the merger was being proposed. I confirmed it with Samsung as well. The device will look for the stronger network and try to connect to that. The crappy thing was you couldn't override it. I'd force Tmob as network and as soon as it dropped signal it would revert back to ATT.
Did you try flashing another modem? This ROM comes with sidekick KD1 modem. Some people prefer our native KI3, KJ1, KG4 or KJ6 modem.
I would also try to disable roaming option abd force a network.

Hi
Thanks for your answers
First, i am is israel. i am subscribed to the orange carrier
i have tried the wipe, the fix permission, the clean dalvik cache
i will follow your advice. i am flashing the Kj6
wait and see
If nothing else, one thing that works for me when I completely lose my network is to do a hard reset: Pull the battery, hold power button for 15 seconds, leave battery out for 10 minutes, put battery back in, boot and let sit another 10 minutes. Fixed.
Haven't had the issue on a bml ROM though(such as Valhalla), not sure if it's coincidence, but if all else falls, hopefully it will help you solve the issue. I tried flashing new modems, permissions, wipes, formats, flashing new ROM's, and that was the only thing to actually restore the network (restoring my efs may have worked, but didn't try it then, and that would only be applicable to an mtd ROM, unlike Valhalla)

Also try to switch it to GSM only, it might work.
when am selecting only GSM, the 3G don't work. i only get the G
BTW, each time that i restart the phone, i have to enable the GSM/WDCA.
after each restart, the phone is automatically configured to only GSM
Hi Guys
i am driving crazy
I have followed all those steps
1. Put ROM zip in SDcard.
2. Go to recovery mode.
3. Perform Wipe cache partition (3 times).
4. Perform Wipe data\Factory reset (3 times).
5. Perform Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache (3 times).
6. Perform Voodoo -> Disable Lagfix.
7. Perform Voodoo -> System Lagfix Off.
8. Perform Install zip file - choose Hebrew valhall 3.5ROM zip.
9. Allow ROM to start, mount mount points, flash kernel and finish.
10. Go to 'Voodoo Settings'.
11.Perform Voodoo -> Enable Lagfix.
12.Perform Voodoo -> System Lagfix On.
13.Perform Back - Reboot System.
14. Let device stay untouched for 10 minutes.
Now i have another issue, each time that i restart the phone, i have to enable the GSM/WDCA.
when only GSM is selected, the 3G don't work. i only get the G
after each restart, the phone is automatically configured to only GSM.
Moreover, i don't have the standard gps issue of long lock.
( i have made the AngryGps Fix)
when i am using Waze, i am losing the Gps Signal
SOS

RESOLVED
i have enabled bluetooth wifi, Gps and restart the phone
and the issue is fixed

Hi Heniki
I was on Israeli Orange and everything worked just fine. Now I'm on Rami Levi just paying 75% less..
Anyway, I suggest :
1. Try the Gremlin remover.
2. Re-flash ROM afterwards (try other ROMs if you must).
3. Check if your SIM is OK (try it with other SIMs).
4. Maybe SDCard is causing problems ?
The only problem I ever had with connectivity is that sometimes WiFi/3G/BT didn't want to start and the workaround I found at that time was :
1. Set 3G and BT on and restart the device.
2. Once device is up, turn BT off and 5 seconds later, turn 3G off.
3. If you want Wifi - just turn it on.
If you want BT - turn Wifi on, wait 5 sec, turn BT on. wait till it's up and turn Wifi off if you don't want it. Once you're done with BT, turn Wifi on - turn BT off and then Wifi Off.
4. If 3G/Wifi don't turn on, leave it on, set flight mode, wait 10 sec, then set flight mode off. It will work.
I don't have these issues lately (I'm on AntonX's 1.1.2 kernel).
If you must have a Hebrew ROM, know that I will publish a Hebrew CM7 and Hebrew MIUI next month.

I have a HTC ONE X and have tried every single rom, radio, boot image, etc. that you can think of but I get random data disconnects (not htc sync disable which disables between midnight and 7am), this happens anytime it can happen after 12 hours or it can happen after 20 mins of standby
im not sure if its an app as everytime i start a new rom, android downloads all my market apps
anyway i picked up my phone just now and mobile data is disconnected so i plugged into my pc, adb logcat and here is the attached file, can someone help me figure out whats going on ?? i have no idea what im looking for here,
im going to have to reboot my phone to get the mobile data connection back, sometimes if i turn on wifi and turn it off, the mobile data comes back
ive also used getril to make sure ril and baseband match, tried different radios from the very first one to the very latest and matching ril, nothing works
at the moment im on cm10 rom but ive tried every combination of rom/radio/boot/ you can think of, nothing makes sense
im also on vodafone not sure if this matters?
ive also taken the sim out blew out any dust (there was no dust) sim card was clean
i also live in a good area with good signal, this has been going on for about a week and a half (as i used to always use wifi but now i dont)
