thats why I figured I post it up here get some of our smart DEVs on this maybe can tweak it out
Just flashing now, I will see if I can figure it out and let you guys know. Still new at Android but I have been doing phones for a while now!
Hey Cal-El I like your SIG there, its exactly how I do it!
Phones- MT3G Rooted and running whatever is new.

I gotta say I always disable my APN so I dont get my DATA charges to high, I always change the APN TYPE as soon as I flash a ROM, its the first thing I do, so this might be handy. But we all know it will end up buggin the crap outta of us having a setting not working
Ive came to realize I only like hero for the widgets that come along with it
Thanks man. Yea, this APN thing is a tough one, this ROM is awesome and smooth but the APN needs to be set in the ROM before flashing and unfortunately thats where my know how goes by by. Dang, hope someone figures this out.
EDIT: Ok, so I put in the settings and turned on 2g networks only and then turned 2g back off again and now I have data. So that worked for me!
Try that and see if it works for you.
Data is flying for me, syncing and location all work!
AHHhhhh good idea..........
Where do you go inside the zip to edit the apn files? I think I know but I want a for sure answer

Already got it working, no need to mess with the zip file. Putting it into 2g then back again forces it to find the correct network to go with the settings. It will work then.

Is the phone rooted?
If your phone is rooted, put the phone into airplane mode. Enable WiFi and connect to a router. Go into market and look for wireless tether for root users. That should work and you don't need to mess with APN settings. .

Hardest part (which is really not that hard) is creating the goldcard. After that its pretty straight forward. Look in the Dev's section for tools that'll help you with the whole process.

Mobile Network hanging issue

Hi all
on my sensation a few times a day when im surfing it hangs...the upload arrow is constantly on and it hangs for about a minute or 2 then kicks back in after re-setting itself.
After doing a bit of googling i have found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1132399.html
it looks like the three network that i am on could be the issue, just thought id share this incase anyone else is experiencing the same problem.
chris
Do you have the phone set to auto sync?
And
Change the APN from three.co.uk to just 3INTERNET

Many thanks for your reply. I am really new to all this so bare with me ! how do you set the phone to auto sync? and when you say change the APN from three.co.uk to 3internet, what do you mean by this and how do you do it?
When i go into apn on my phone there is nothing there but it does give me an option to add a APN?
Sorry for such basic questions but any help would be appreciated as this problem is really starting to bug me!
Thanks again
Chris

It boots but like he said nothing works. No data nothing. So you can swipe screens. I also thought by flashing that and then flashing the At&t zip after that it might work. Hells Nope! Us canadians are shafted

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

I had that same error on my skyrocket but it fixed after i did a factory reset and the market updated to the play store.
I figured that was the problem, but my market won't update. Anything I can do to force it to update to Play Store?

a while back i had the problem where it wouldn't update so i just had my girlfriend send the Play Store apk to me from her skyrocket with an app sharer and that caused it to work
eventually it will. automatically maybe try clearing data as previously mentioned but then do a soft reset?

Yup. It eventually did randomly.
Last problem I'm encountering is I seem to be stuck on 4G and unable to get LTE, unless the icon at the top is having trouble.

Nice! Does this update the modem & baseband as well? Can you post a screen of your About Phone settings?

Installed CM10, most everything works but asks for SIM unlock code at boot

I can hit cancel and it appears everything including LTE and texting is working fine, but not sure if this is hurting anything? Any idea how to fix this?

This sound like an incredibly complex workaround. I suggest a YouTube tutorial video series on this operation. At least half a dozen episodes.

I had the same issue, never found a solution. Issues with data and voice so I reflashed stock.
It looks like this GUY was continuously having this same issue.
Get the the Phone Info app from the market and change your Network type to LTE/CDMA/Evdo and see if that helps. If not, back up your data and try a fresh flash on CM10 after.
