Can someone explain the nature of the reboots that they are experiencing? I had a reboot on Friday but it was much more then just a reboot, after the phone was finishing powering back up I had no ability to call out as if there was no service. I tried numerous battery pulls and even had Verizon do a reset on there end, nothing helped yet I was still able to receive and send data. Finally after about an hour my service was back. Then the same thing happened again yesterday, I went through the same processes with no success yet. I have tried all the different radio choices and nothing is working, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Also I am rooted and using the stock rom
Bump..........
Did you do any radio flashes? I know mine rebooted on me when I was trying to flash the GB leak from yesterday and there wasn't even a signal bar...just blank space. I reflashed my radio and everything was ok.
Edit: read the last line that I missed before. I am assuming if you are on a stock rom that you didn't flash any radios (otherwise it would have been noted). Thats the only thing that I have run across causing issues. SMH
Yes, I had similar problem
I was running the Stripped Das BAMF with the new radio (same as the one that recently came out OTA) and had this no service problem twice. Since I'm in a 3G only area, I have been using CDMA auto(PRL) and use the Phoneinfo app to change it. I tried to change the network type to something else but couldn't change it. (I presume the network type is for data, but I was trying to see if changing it would affect the service). The other options were there, but I couldn't select anything other than the CDMA auto. A battery pull fixed my problem both times.
Now I'm running BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with the new radio and everything is fine. I don't change the voltages or overclock. Yesterday as I was driving around town the phone rang, but I didn't answer it. When I got home, the phone had powered down and did a reboot.
Just an additional thought. You might try doing a data wipe/factory reset to see if that helps. Of course, you lose your settings that way, so back up first.
Seems like I've been having this problem regularly since I rooted/installed Fission ROM. I even SBF'ed back to original, but it didn't seem to fix my issue. I regularly have to reboot my phone to receive text messages.
I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to it. I've tried re-programming my phone, but every time it attempts to reprogram, it makes a weird noise and reboots.
Am I experiencing a hardware problem, possibly? With the radio?
Honestly no idea where to go from here, but inability to receive text messages = huge problem.
Are you using it on Verizon or on a non-Verizon GSM/HSPA network?
I've got the same issue using my milestone1 but milestone2 has more ram, so that problem should'nt appear at this device.
I believe I'm on the Verizon network, I'm using it in places I've always had good coverage.
Update: I re-installed Fission 2.4.3 I had from backup and installed Handcent SMS. So far, so good. I haven't appeared to miss any text messages since then.
Still, it's a very odd situation. Hoping Gingerbread gives some more stability, though I'm not sure why it would matter.
This has happened to me on TMOUS and to a friend as well...I have SGII she has MyTouch 4g...after reboot, a flood of undelivered texts comes in...all with the same time so doesn't help when trying to see when originally sent.
I'm rooted/custom rom and she's bone stock...wondering if its a network issue or android problem
I own a Samsung Fascinate and I have been flashing customs for a few months now. I've tried 5 or 6 different combinations and every time I flash to something other than stock, i have weird occurrences. For instance, right now I am running super clean 2.9.2 eb01 w/ voodoo and crysis theme for eb01. I flashed it yesterday and when I flashed it, I tested all of the features (text in/out, web, calls in/out, camera, bluetooth etc.) and everything worked fine. This morning I woke up to a couple of missed calls and usually I wake up with text messages from different people too, but I had none whatsoever. Also, when I flashed it yesterday, I had a 3G symbol for my web and a stable connection. I wake up this morning and the 3G has turned into a "1x" (whatever that means) and the mobile data connection seems slower than ever. In fact it is slow. I play a cool MMORPG built for androids called Pocket Legends and when I logged in this morning my ping was extremely higher than usual. The only thing that I am completely worried about are texts/calls not coming in and my mobile data connection being slow. And this same thing has happened with a few other roms/kernels I've used. The weird thing is that as soon as I flash back to stock, all the features work fine again.
My main questions are, when I first flash something, why does everything work properly for a while after I first load it, but then a few days down the road I start having problems? Is that even possible? Can a custom rom/kernel/theme change your phone whenever it wants to? I know alot of customs are unstable and usually the OP lists what's working and not working, so I've made careful choices with the ones I've picked. This has happened with all of the customs I've had for eclair and even froyo. But why do they only work properly for like a day and then all of a sudden take a sh*t on me?
*EDIT* By the way, my phone is not being used on Verizon. I have it flashed to Cricket. Would this have anything to do with it?
I'm posting this on the four android-related forums that I participate in, in hopes that someone has seen this before and knows what to do.
Here's what I had:
- Droid 2 Global, unlocked, rooted, with Fission ROM, using Rogers Wireless, a GSM network in Canada
- it had been working just fine for 5 months
Here's what I did:
- Used RSDLite and the SBF loader to flash the stock 2.4.330 firmware as seen here: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/SBF
- ended up with a bootloop, as the directions said I would. cleared data and cashe, no problem, phone booted.
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, entered APNs, immediately had data service, tested phone functionality, all was well, used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- Used stock recovery mode to upgrade to 4.5.607 (gingerbread) firmware as seen here: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/4.5.607_Firmware
- I used the file linked to from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/22/gingerbread-build-for-the-droid2-global-leaks/
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, entered APNs, immediately had data service, tested phone functionality, all was well, used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- rooted phone using the adb method that is out there. rebooted and confirmed root access. installed a couple apps that need root. tested phone functionality, all was well. used APN backup/restore and APN Manager to make backup files of my APNs
- As described here, http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/CyanogenMod Installed Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap and ROM Manager in order to flash CWM. rebooted into CWM, factory reset, installed the latest release (10/06), and rebooted
- started up phone, switched to GSM mode, phone app crashed immediately (as is to be expected, based on known bugs), rebooted for it to take effect
Now here's the problem:
- phone can make calls and receive texts with no problem, but cannot get data. wifi also works.
- went into wireless settings, mobile networks, access point names, nothing shows up. Clicked "add APN". entered the APN info that had worked for me before at the past two junctions. hit menu button, then save. takes me back to the APN screen, but no APN shows up.
- repeated this cycle a few times following reboots, etc. Eventually the phone gets to the point where the "add APN" button will not even come up when the menu key is hit.
- during the above, was also checking the "network operators" setting. The phone does locate all of the networks that are "in the air" but no matter which one I choose it will tell me "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
- used root explorer to check /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. There is a list of about 1500 APNs. There are multiple entries for Rogers including all of the ones I tried to enter that appeared not to save.
- used APN backup/restore and APN manager to attempt deleting existing APNs, restoring the ones that were known to work, etc. Nothing works. These programs do work, and when I check the telephony.db file I can see what they have done to the file, but they are unfortnately unable to make any APN "stick" at the APN screen, and apparently that is the only way that it will work.
more info:
- I've noticed that the list of rogers entries seems to get larger and larger as I go through this process multiple times. I may be wrong, but it seems that this telephony.db file might not actually get changed or updated when you flash a new kernel/firmware/mod/rom to the phone.
- I'm sure that the lack of a list of APNs and the "sim card does not allow connection" message are related. For whatever reason there seems to be a bug in CM7 where the telephony.db file has problems "talking" to the APN screen in settings. But it must not affect most people.
- yes, I have tried a new SIM card.
- yes, I have tried clearing cache, data, dalvik, and fixing permissions.
- Anyone else on Rogers Running CM7 on a D2G? If so, I'd love to talk to you. Maybe I could convince you to send me a working CWM backup. I imagine that if you're a conscientious rommer, you have a backup made folling a fresh install of CM7.
I used to do at one point. The froyo base 2011.08.13 version was the last one that worked for me. Newer ones boot looped if SIM card is inside, no matter what I do. I stopped trying after couple further releases all of which boot looped. Essentially quit using CM4D2G due to bluetooth not working with BT handsfree. Later, after the official Motorola GB release came, I have not even looked back. Since I like few BLUR features, especially dialler, the GB Motorola released suits me very well. With the doubled battery life and the MUCH BETTER GSM radio in 606/607 bulds, phone finally settled down and I can now rely on it.
I have CM7 on another of my phones - actually 2 of them - a Milestone and (recently) a HTC Vision - I love CM7.1 especially on the latter!
I assume your phone works fine with stock rom - right?
Edit: I have a XT860 which is in for repairs - once I get it back and I have a reliable daily phone I plan to experiment with the new GB based CM4D2G. Hopefully this week...

Yes, everything works really well with stock rom. I was quite impressed, as it was my first GB experience. Unfortunately, as with cars, I am all about the "options", and I can't seem to let go of a feature once I have experienced it. I love CM7 and I really want to make it work for my D2G.
I posted this same thing at the rootzwiki thread, and one of the head developers said "You my friend may finally have identified where the gsm data issues are coming from. it isnt just you, it's 98% of the gsm users that arent having data". Another user got me to change a couple of permissions. I thought he was onto something but it didn't work, either. Nonetheless, I think I brought enough attention to this issue and also gave them something to work with through all my trial and error. I am optimistic.
But, for now, I think I have to take CM7. I want my data! I am really tempted to just give stock GB a shot. But Blur scares me. Most people don't seem to like it, though I admit I don't fully understand what Blur is! I see there is MIUI and apex, angel Hexen and VenusX. I might have to try them first.
hallo!
had exactly the same problem! i bought a verizon phone an using it in greece!
But i simply dowloaded some APNs manager from the market and within 2 minutes my phone was connecting to the internet!! So if this worked for me i`m sure its gonna work for u too!!

Can you be more specific as to what you did? Because it sounds exactly like something I tried already. What was the exact name of the software you used? Was your problem 100% exactly the same as mine, or just similar? I literally can't make an APN show up at the APN screen at all.

Some people have this exact problem with the D3, looks like in the D3 placing the phone in airplane mode and then on again is enough to make the APN manager able to read the MCC/MNC codes and, consequently, to store the provided apn.
I wish it was that easy, but it's not. I have tried a number of solutions similar to that but no dice. I appreciate the attempt though.

For the record I have that problem on the D2g flashed with the latest builds of cyanogen rom, (with the same SIMs perfectly working on D3 and D2g with the stock rom), and the airplane mode trick doesn't works too.
So far I haven't found a solution
To get my wife's d2g to work in japan I had to use root explorer to manually edit a file. The file is located at etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options mount the file rw and manually edit the user name and password to match your apn. Toggle airplane mode on off after saving changes and it should work.

Thanks, i guessed that if a proper fix may be hard to find, a workaround was easy enough, I'll try it later with the gingerbread froyo.

sounds interesting. I will give that a try the next time I flash CM7. I moved on to Apex. It's ok, but absolutely dreadful for battery life. I can't imagine CM7 is any better considering it has about 50 more bells and 125 more whistles. But I do prefer CM7 to anything else so as soon as I actually have some tweaking time again, I'll give this a shot.
Since both CM7 and Apex are built off the same firmware, I could just flash them overtop eachother, and wipe date and cache, right? As long as it's that easy, I could see myself trying this sooner.

I now own a D3. CM9 is doing the exact same thing to me!
I tried what you said and I am still not getting data. phone and texts work though, just like before.
Hello,
Although my post count will show I am totally new here. I am quite comfortable with flashing/etc.
I have been running the Synergy rom since 1.4 and I absolutely love it.
(full wipe of the phone)
I recently installed the R67 nightly (wiped cache/dalvik)
After R67, I noticed that my browser would not load pages completely. It would show about 90% on the status bar and it just stops.
I have had the problem before on my HTC Incredible so I went through the normal motions.
Tested Wifi/3g/4g....all show the same behavior.
Cleared "data" for the app...
Cleared app cache....
Wiped system cache...
Force closed the app...
This was all still showing the same result.
I installed Chrome...same result?
That kinda threw me...I was expecting it to be limited to the stock browser.
I installed Firefox...eureka! it is working now....for about 4 pages...now the same thing is happning to it.
I hate to even appear to be calling out the Synergy guys. I think they have a great ROM, but it is the last thing to change on my phone. So I am reaching.
I did go through a few recommendations from other phone models, remove proxy from APN settings..etc..
I can not seem to figure it out.
Anyone else on R67 seeing this? Is it something more fundamental to the phone itself?

Love your opening line, I am in the same boat in regards to post count!
Have you flashed over the latest R68? I did not use 67 at all, infact started at 64, played with some JB developments, and came back to the most current 68 (with a darkhorse rises awesome theme!). I did not have any browser issues on the 64 build, and have "none" on the 68 build - well sort of: I have noticed that when I have been on wifi for a while, when disabling wifi, the data connection (which shows in the status bar as ok) seams to freeze up. Similar symptoms of what you described. What I had to do was disable the auto wifi connect, open an instant data drawing app (play store), close it, re-open it once or twice and boom! 4g data as advertised snaps back into action without any issues until I start using wifi again for a long period. This freeze appears to only happen when the auto wifi connect is enabled (need to verify that a bit). I would flash the current nightly and test. Chrome also seams to work a bit better than the stock browser, as it should. Stick with the rom, as you know its great. Hope that helps.
