A couple fixes for some of our problems

Lets face it. All devices have bugs upon release that the normal person won't care about nor think of it as a bug. This device has it's share but as a reminder. There is no software bug that can't be fixed. By the way, make sure you don't skip the initial setup and if you did just wipe and restore.
1) Some are having a problem when using WiFi. There 4G or 3G data is not turning off and instead of your device using WiFi to exchange data it is using your 4G or 3G data. If you turn WiFi on and don't see a 4G/3G icon in the notification area then your device is working properly in this department.
The Fix: There is three "My Account" apps on our devices and there causing a conflict when 2 or more is running at the same time. To fix this you need to delete all of them (I used Root Explorer). If you use "My Account" you can download the current version from the market. Next, freeze or delete WiFi calling and the T-Mobile app pack. After you have deleted everything you have to reboot your device. Note: While deleting or freezing some of these, you might get some looping force closes. Just simply remove your battery to reboot the device and once it reboots the force closing will be gone.
2) Some are having a problem when moving from cell tower to cell tower. If you are losing a data signal every once in a while but the 4G/3G icon is still showing in the notification area, you need to do the fallowing.
The Fix: Go into your Mobile Network settings and make sure your device is setup to automatically use GSM/WCDMA. Then click on search for networks and at this point you will see T-Mobile UMTS, T-Mobile GSM and ATT GSW. After they appear click on select automatically. While your at it go ahead and click on data roaming since T-Mobile has contracts with other providers so your able to roam on there towers. Don't worry, you won't be charged for roaming since T-Mobile only charges for international roaming. After all this do a reboot.
Some of you think that there is a problem with your battery if your device is showing your "cell standby" above 30%. This is not a problem. Every time you charge your G2X it will reset usage percentages as you know. Well if you emediatly start using your phone and don't put it down for 2 hours than I promise you that your display will be at the top of the list. Obviously if your device stays off for a little bit and upon waking it you look at your battery statistics your going to see Cell standby and Phone idle at the top since the display was off. If your wandering why Cell Standby is using more juice than WiFi it's because when you turn your display off it automatically sleeps your WiFi.
The percentages in your batter statistics need to add up to 100%-105% and something is going to use more than the rest depending on what your doing with your device after removing it from charge. Ask yourself this. If my G2X is in my pocket for 1 hour after removing it from it's charger. What would I like to see using most of my battery? I can tell you right now. Certainly not your display since it's been off the entire time.

There's only one MyAccount app on the phone. I looked myself in the System/app folder. If you see multiple MyAccounts in a task manager it is just another instance of the same application.
Also there's NOTHING wrong with Wifi Calling or My Account. I have both on and use them extensively. My phone has gone now 26hrs without a reboot or hitch of heavy usage. Wifi works, 3G/4G works perfectly. I don't have any issues right now...until the next reboot
Want to give people another perspective since you don't have to give up MyAccount or Wifi caling to have a usable phone.

Thats WHY you don't have any problems. Because you only have 1 "MyAccount" application. Those of us that had 2 or 3 have the problems. By the way I had 3 and no they weren't showing in task manager. They were all deleted using Root Explorer.

Where did you see them? They were all in system/app??!?
Odd how they could all exist together - were they named differently?

Yes, different version numbers and branding included in the apks. I had 2, version 1 and version 5.x.
OP, for some reason when I try Search Networks I get: "Error while searching for networks." Any ideas?

They all existed in the system folder. It seemed like instead of the new versions updating the existing app, they were just creating new files. Your right, it is odd but I can see how that would create a problem.

LG G2X and Simple Mobile

Hello,
I'm new to dealing with phones or doing anything advanced with them. My last one was a samsung code that I used at metropcs. I've upgraded to the LG G2X and have an active account with Simple Mobile. I have a problem that I am hoping some one here can help me with.
I cannot use data. No web or mms. Of course according to the instructions on their site for android phones, you have to edit or creat a new APN for use on their network. However, when I try to edit the default T-Mobile US apn it just says, "Default APN cannot be modified." and I can't change any of the settings.
Now what I can do is create ANOTHER APN but after creating on according to the instructions on their site and saving it. I can see the newly created APN but it doesn't look to be active. The T-Mobile US apn has a green dot next to it showing it is active but not the new apn that I created. I thought about a setting to make the new one the default or activating it in addition to the tmobile one but I cannot find a way to do that. HELP. Thanks in advance.

You should just be able to tap your new APN that you've set up and get the green dot to show. I'm not sure how locked down the G2x is, but it sounds strange you can't even edit the APN.

Well the settings from their site were correct. The android configuration is what was needed. It's not obvious how you activate the APN though. The technical support rep helped me figure it out but even he was like, "You have to get the green dot on that new APN. Try to drag it or just touch it.." Well you have to touch the radial button where the green dot should go, however, that is not good enough. You have to hold it down for awhile. Just the button. Then you get the green activation dot. There you have it.
Thanks for the help. You were correct, as was my assumption.
g2x activation at simple mobile.
Simple Mobile website--> Enter in Android config on a new APN--> Save and hold down the radial button long enough for it to turn green. From there, internet, gps, mms, etc. all work.

Good job mate, now go and enjoy it!

Hit the thanks button for ya. Your insight was much appreciated. This phone is light years ahead of my old samsung code. I've been meaning to obtain an android cell phone for awhile, I'm glad I got this one. The gps functions on these things are absolutely incredible. The web browsing on it is so nice. The only thing I can hope for now is RF radio reception. I've been checking the net periodically (which leads me back to this forum often) to see if there's progress. That would be a nifty function as everyone carries there cell with them. If you want tunes, being able to grab it from your cell is very convenient. <----(I imagine I'm getting a little off topic here lol). Well, see you later. Thanks again.

You've certainly picked a winner. LG aren't exactly known for their build quality but they've put together a nice package in the G2x. Also, I love that it runs stock Android and doesn't have a Skin/Launcher over the top. Means you'll get updates quicker and you're free to do whatever you like. I am pretty sure it has an FM radio built in, you just have to plug in the headphones to work as an antenna.
Many thanks for the 'thanks' too, good of you
Enjoy mate, feel free to hit me up if you think I can help.
Oh and PS, welcome to XDA

I was trying to hold this button or just click this button and it turns grenn. But what happens is I reboot, then I'm trying to use internet, browser opening one page (sometimes not even that), I'm going to apn settings again and seeing that the green button back to t-mobile again.... For some reason it is automatically switching back to original settings. I do have a new apn saved in there too.....

I think I know what you're saying here. In other words, you are using the APN that you set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN right? If so, I'm having the same problem--a lot of people are. It started happening right after the update to 2.3 Gingerbread. What someone ought to do is, make something so that the stock T-Mobile APN can just be edited.

By the logic that is the only way. Probably to do that we need to root the phone and make changes in APN folder.... But that's on the paper.

Is there any way out of this issue?? I really love the G2x but its almost impossible to use data as it keeps switching T-mobile APN.. Can we delete the T-mobile APN if we Root the phone??

I'm not sure if there's a way to edit the apn or delete it for that matter. Here's what I've done as a work around. It's pretty generic but it's working. I simply reboot my phone only every several days; when I do, I switch it back to the simplemobile apn, then I use all kinds of stuff like:gps, internet, etc. It will at times, switch on me 2-4 times but once it stays, it stays as long as I don't reboot.
Otherwise I think this is happening to other android cell phones as well. I bet they'll provide a fix for it. It's something related to this edition of the OS if you ask me, else it would have done this on other versions as well.

Ocean .. you are AWESOME. it worked like a charm , i kept searching around until i found your post, i'm gonna post this in another thread on here about the same issue if you don't mind. i'm sure many people are experiencing this issue
glad i didn't have to root ..why? my name says it all

Thanks for that compliment. Great choice in phone btw. Mine is doing everything that I need it to do and more. Emailing works, gps works, texting works, surfing the web works etc. It's like having a tiny little laptop at your constant disposal
If you like some of the games that can be played on these things, try Dragon Fly. You can find it at the android market for free. I've been having a blast with it. I'm ranked number two in 90650 zip code

Thanks for the tip about holding down the button until it turns green. Indeed it worked for me too. I actually think I had to just keep pushing it rather than hold it. It also takes a minute while the system resets the services. I rebooted for the heck of it too.
Another tip: Someone in a thread says "APN Manager" app fixes any problems for rooted users who have Gingerbread. Some custom roms don't need it though. More solutions are discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18842276&posted=1#post18842276
I'm sticking to Froyo for now because of this. Just tested GPS and Internet walking around the block. A+++!

Yeah, the phone is pretty darn good. It's got a good size screen, great graphics, and it's not TOO big. I've seen some phones and they're borderline tablet lol. Would have been good for them to not have made the apn uneditable, and it would have been a good idea for them to have included the FM radio. The European cousin has the FM radio capability but I guess when it was released for america, they purposely kept that disconnected . Bummer! Oh well, folks will just consume all kinds of bandwidth by using a radio ap

[A] MMS isues on a Samsung Device

When I upgraded my Samsung Focus to Mango B1 (7661), I was pleasently surprised when I wasn't having any of the 3G (lack of APN) or MMS sending issues. I unlocked it with the unlock xml and the whole GPRS template loading from Diagnosis. I had no issues whatsoever. I considered myself lucky, and I shrugged it off.
Well, Mango B2 (7712) comes along, and then I noticed: No more 3G, no more MMS. At all. So I figured, okay, a lot of people had this problem, so it should be fairly easy to solve, MMS is a big deal to not have, SOMEONE'S fixed it, RIGHT???
And I was partially wrong. People fixed the 3G issues by readding the APN from their appropriate provider (I just googled my AT&T APN). However, I looked everywhere for the MMS fix. I found NOTHING.
Then I came accross one post saying that it was a shame that WP7 doesn't set the 'ADC' flag when you switch the SIM card. Well, holy crap, I knew I had seen that before. While I was recalling what app I had used, I coupled that bit of knowledge with something else. I knew that people had fixed this problem using the proprietary Network Profile Samsung app by temporarily switching carrier profiles and then switching back. So I thought to myself, what does the Network Profile app change? It changes, apart from other things, the APN (for 3G), and the MMS settings. So I figured, if the MMS settings are tied to ADC, and then the Network Profile app changes that, why not use an app I've used before to reset it?
So I looked through all my homebrew apps (Advanced Config., TouchXperience, & WP7 Root Tools), and, alas, none of them booted. BUT! I had forgotten all about the trusty Samsung Tools. I haven't used it in ages, but I though that that option was there. So I opened it, and behold, it didn't crash and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD it had the option to "Set 'Run ADC' Flag". The description almost made me cry from the overwhelming joy. The description says "Sets ADC to run at next boot to configure Data and MMS settings. I checked it, I rebooted, and I could send MMS.
If anyone with a Samsung Device in Mango is having MMS or Data issues, use Samsung Tools, and don't suffer as long as I did.

Actually, it can be done by changing HKLM\System\AutoDataConfig\RunADC from 0 to 1.

This is a question?

As I am new to the wp7 scene, glad to find this post as this fix the problem for me . Thanks for the post!

This did not work for me on my samsung focus running through straight talk. Any ideas would be appreciated as I still cannot send MMS. Thanks!

I found that if you have "View desktop pages" checked (in the stock browser app press the menu key and you should see this option), you will recieve this popup. By un-checking that option, you will not receive the popup BUT, now you will more than likely end up on a mobile site rather than the desktop site.

that would make sense since t-mobile detects your browser's user agent string to determine if you are wifi tethering. we just have to wait for either chrome to change their UA string or for t-mobile to stop detect wifi tethering like that

If they start blocking people from full web pages then they may have to re-think their approach to charging for tethering!

Good suggestion, one caveat, you should be advising folks to back up or at the least, write down the APN info in case they have problems.

Yeah backing up is always a smart thing to do just in case. However there is an option to revert back to default settings when you press the menu so there shouldn't be too much to worry about. Good suggestion nevertheless!

Revert back to default is one of my favorite setting!

delete

So I don't know if this was expected since it was only a tempfix but i can't access it on any apn now even after rebooting...
Guess I need to look to upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus now...
Anyone had success in finding a new fix?

[Q] Data Connection Time-outs

I've been having data connection issues for as long as I've had an activated Straight Talk SIM in the phone (about a week). Here's what's happening:
When I open an app or program that needs an active data connection, more often than not, data takes a while to start flowing. Often more than long enough for my screen to time-out before it connects. I have moderate signal strength, generally 2-3 bars, and the little H+ icon is there, so I'm assuming it's not a signal issue. Once data actually kicks in, it generally works fine for whatever time I'm actively using it. However, once i stop using it, and let the phone go back to sleep, it's a crap-shoot as to whether or not it'll connect quickly next time I need it to.
It doesn't seem to be a ROM-specific occurance, although it did seem a bit less likely to time-out when running stock Froyo. I've tried several different costom ROMs, a handful of different modems, and it never seems to make any real difference. I've also tried slight variations in the APN settings, to no apparent avail. Toggling airplane mode and/or rebooting don't seem to have any definite effect either. Sometimes data will connect quickly after a toggle/reboot, sometimes it makes no difference. It's like the phone just doesn't seem to 'know' that it's supposed to be transferring data.

Im having the same issue.My first month with ST was great really fast of course I went well over 2 GB so it slowed me down towards the end of the first month.Well I paid my next bill and still slow.They seem to be clueless when I call them oh your using an Infuse well I ordered the correct sim from there site they still clueless.Ive have tried about every rom out there just to see whats up and still the same issue.Hopefully someone here has the fix.

Im having the same issue nothin seems to work.

Turns out we're not the only ones..not by a long shot:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...t-Talk-has-upped-the-ante-on-throttling-users!
Since it's a frustrating exercise in futility to actually call and hope to get one of their script-reading robots that can speak some semblance of comprehensible English, I emailed them on their FB support page and started a claim ticket. Got the usual runaround about removing the SIM card and battery, do a hard reset, clear cache and cookies from browser, blah blah blah. It's kinda funny how I linked the CS rep to that thread on HoFo, and she's still not acknowledging that there's any type of widespread issue. SSDD with Straight Talk.

I just registered over on HoFo and was looking around their Straight Talk forum. I think someone may have found the answer to some of our data connectivity woes. It may be as simple as having to make a DNS change to compensate for an overly-crowded network. I downloaded DNS Changer from the Play Store, and changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS. It's a bit too early to tell if it's just random coincidence, or a real fix, but I AM getting much better connectivity so far. For some reason, it seems to work a little better if you actually use the ST proxy in your APN settings.

This issue was driving me nuts, it started as soon as I switched to Jelly Bean, I was convinced JB was interfering with my data, installed DNS changer and immediately my internet issues went away. Thanks for the tip! :highfive:
