Hey guys, i'm new to android and this is my first device to use, welcome meh.
My issue :
I just bought my new xoom and gave it to a friend to upgrade it to honeycomb 3.1. However i live in Sauid Arabia and i'm using stc ( saudi telecom company ) before the upgrade it was working well but after that it's not. I tried to manually set up APN setting but when i touch the back button to save settings it hides directly. I brought another SIM card ( mobily company ) and it worked well.
What do you suggest me to do guys ?

Hi,
I got hold of a Samsung i325 smart phone. The phone was hooked up to the Telecom New Zealand network. Of course I couldn't resist the temptation and downloaded and installed the upgrade from the Samsungusa website. After installing I discovered that it was not just an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1, but also includes all kinds of settings for some other provider called Sprint.
Before the upgrade the phone would work fine with Simcards from Vodafone and 2degrees.
I tried whatever I could think of, but since the upgrade I can't get the simcards to work.
Is there a way to undo the upgrade?
I have a similar phone which still has the Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. Can I create an image from this phone and copy it onto the other (upgraded) phone?
Or can I make it somehow detect the simcards again under Windows Mobile 6.1? (I do like the added features, like SDHC support, GPS, etc.)
All suggestions welcome..

Sprint is a Cell Company based on the US...they are on a CDMA network hence your issue...go back to the Samsung website and find the ROM for your specific device and cell carrier
Another option is for you to head over to the forum specific for your thread and download a custom ROM for your phone
Hi,
Can you give me a bit more info on where to find the custom ROMs? Any rom to get it to work with random GSM Simcards would be great!
Cheers

That idiot probably killed your phone by replacing GSM module that doesn't work. Your phone is dead, sorry .
One more question. Was the phone working before you sent it to him second time for that "hardware change"? By "hardware change" he probably meant robbing you from good hardware.
Hi,
I bought my 7 Pro SIM free , I am currently using it on O2 , but it has a different SIM from one week to the next as I change phones a lot.
I am wondering firstly , why I need a network to "push" my update ? What's it got to do with them ? I didn't buy my phone from them ! LOL
....And secondly, when the holy powers decide I can have my update, will the notification be pushed to my 7 Pro no matter what network it happens to be using at that time ? (see I am a little confused by the Networks role in all this)
NOTE - I can't use the "force" trick as I am a mac user , I did try to do it on the PC at work , and it half worked , then downloaded a "zune set up" file that froze at 99% for 7 hours , ..at which point I gave up , LOL !
Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile badged HTC HD2 [That is shipped in the Black colour box]. I have hacked it for multi-boot - WP 7.5 (8107) & Android (American Android).
Android works supremely awesome. I can take calls, do calls as well as use mobile data connectivity.
WP 7.5, prima facie, rocks. I can call, take calls & do everything on data BUT ONLY in Wi-Fi mode. I do not get any data reception, GPRS/Edge or 3G. Now let me fill in the details.
- I am currently residing in India, Bombay
- My mobile operator is Vodafone
- My username login for the Windows Market is in the US domain
- I have put in the relevant details in the APN settings but still no luck
- I was by a Vodafone engineer that Vodafone India blocks data connectivity for T-Mobile, AT&T devices (Which is a joke because my T-Mobile HD2 gets connected to data on Android). Ergo, I put a sim of another Mobile operator - Tata Docomo, but no avail. Data still didn't get activated.
- As a desperate resort, I flashed a freely available T-Mobile radio - 2.12.50.02_2, but still no luck.
I have a couple of thoughts/conclusions & I may be right or wrong -
- Android works because its Open Source et al
- Could it be that WP7 is doing some sort of check on my HD2 & hence there is a problem?
- Could it be that on a hardware/software radio level, the T-Mobile HD2 is not compatible with the Indian mobile standards? Highly unlikey but hey who knows..
- Do I have to try every relevant TMOUS radio option out there (GASP!!!) & there is an assurance that atleast one might work?
I have not come across a single incident like this on the Web or in XDA so I am wondering whether I am a random anamoly.
Any help/pointers is a big welcome.
Thanks for taking your time out reading this post & a great new year ahead to you!!!!
From my experiences with flashing Android phones, this happens because your system isn't connecting to the radio properly. Its an issue with your install of WP7.5; you may be missing a particular library, or your system may be configured incorrectly. Since data works on Android for you, it definitely isn't a hardware issue.
I have had a very similar issue happen while upgrading my girlfriend's X10MiniPro: no data connectivity. It was caused by having an incompatible baseband for the RIL library that came with the ROM.
Whoa!!! Thanks a ton for the indepth reply mate. You have given me a new perspective on this. I never thought of it actually. This means I have two choices -
- Either flash a new WP 7.5 version (& Hope it works)
or
- Flash a couple of compatible TMOUS radios & figure out which would work best with my verison of WP 7.5
Having said that, Im surprised that no one else seems to be having this data problem on their TMobile HD2s in India. Or maybe I am the only one who has a Tmobile HD2 out here ;-)
*EDIT*
or (Oops! missed this while posting earlier)
- I may have to put in a relevant "rilphone.dll" as you rightly pointed out in the WP 7.5 partition.
*Edit - 2*
I recommend this thread on some detailed pointers on what "rilphone.dll" is all about. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481026&page=1
Important update!!!
After a couple of hectic weeks/weekends in office, I can finally heave a sigh of relief now that I have a couple of days off. Was checking the HD2 threads for Mango-related problems & BANG!!! Quite a few people have a problem on this GPRS/EDGE problem. The one common link is that all the people who are victims of this problem have their Radio Hardware version showing up as 0.0.0.0.
I have been seeing this 0.0.0.0 bit all this time & thought nothing of it thinking that this is a valid value.
Initially I thought the problem could be because of the T-Mobile radio verison not being compatible/or some sort of esoteric mojo that I cannot comprehend ;-).
But now this 0.0.0.0 is the common link (If other users have non-T-Mobile HTC HD2s). So well, what gives? Why do most people have no problems on data in Mango on HD2 & some unlucky ones like us are facing this 0.0.0.0 issue?
Any comments people?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit 1*
My current build is the 7.10.8107.79 & it is unlocked.
I had tried earlier the Yuki build as well and I still faced the same problem of not having EDGE/GPRS connectivity & radio version showed 0.0.0.0.
Hi all,
I live in france and my "phone nework provider" (no idea what is the english word) seems to have serious problems since I've upgraded to ICS : my phone changes from 2G ==>3G ==> H ==> no network...
If I'm saying that it is due to ICS it is because I had a Motorola Milestone running under CM7 and all was fine... but I've upgraded to CM9 and there I was not able anymore to use the Market etc etc... then I bought a new Phone ==> Huawei Honour ... which unfortunately was upgraded to ICS and which has the same issues.
I've tried to find the problem & one solution was to root the phone & change the following setting "ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=2" ==> 0
BUT there is another entry : ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy_ap=true
My friend Google does not find anyting about this one... and the fast_dormancy=2 was only described on Chinese forums. So I've tried custom combinations of the two previous entries but the last one [0 / False] completely messed up my phone : when I try to call someone I've got a message saying that I'm calling something like the 911 (emergency call which should be recorded...)
So, if someone can explain how the 0-1-2 values are used by ICS it would be great. Moreover if someone knows anything about the "ap" entry this would also be amazing.
Thanks a lot (and sorry for my poor English)
