[Q] MIUI service and data issues

Hey guys so I decided to flash miui again but this new version giving me data problems. When I try to download a new theme its unable to connect to the.server. also the market sometimes says retry connection! I never had this problem before I also tried that new APN and it didn't really work. My data is usually on 3g now not hspa and its always been hspa... anyone having the same issues? If you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks XDA community!

I am having the same issue and haven't been able to find a fix for it.

First guess would be a bad flash, necessitating a wipe and reflash. Did you upgrade from an earlier MIUI? If so, how did you do it? My data acted hinky a couple of times, so I just reflashed my *J2 modem and all was right.

Hey guys thanks for the replies. And I'm coming from infused and I've reflashed about.5 times I don't think its from that. And can you tell me wat this modem thing is I haven't flashed a modem yet.

Having radio problems

After flashing CM9 on my nexus s GSM, I no longer have any data connection or any connection at all for that matter, it detects that there are radios around but I cannot connect to any of them.
I have checked I still have the correct IMEI, and I have tried going to stock 4.0.3 and slim ICS, and 2 different radio drivers to no avail.. Also wi-fi works fine.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
edit: even tried going back to gingerbread... still no luck

Is there no advice anyone can give? I've tried so many things and i've run out of ideas..

Did you try to flash the latest factory image (4.0.4) downloaded from Google? It includes the radio, and after flashing it you would have your phone as if you bought it just now.

heres the different radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 or maybe the problem was the carrier??
try to figure out whats the problem?? or maybe you broke your signal hardware..
or maybe the problem was on the carrier??

Check your apns in network and settings

CHeck your APN settings under settings>More>Mobile Networks and create a new APN unique to your own carrier. also, check if you can still make calls

I have this problem also when flashing cm7 months ago..
Solved it by flashing different radio..

Turns out somehow my phone corrupted my sim card after I flashed CM9, got a replacement, waited a day for three to activate the sim and it's all sorted now. Thanks guys

Wow. That sucks. At least you got it fixed and let us know!

How long have you been using that SIM?

It's a fairly new sim, got it 3 months ago.

Moto has apparently released a software update

Per this poster over on S4GRU.com, the new version is 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US:
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2507-photon-q-software-update/

Yeah, I had seen someone on the Sprint forums say he got the update last night. He said IM didn't work aterwards, but I wasn't sure if he meant Gtalk, or what.
I am rooted and debloated as well, but from my experience, that shouldn't prevent the device from saying an update is available.... but the update could fail if we try and apply it like this... I always go back to stock unrooted if I wanna install an update.
I think at least one thing they were supposed to address was that VSNCP registratiom error that pops up sometimes, I've seen it pretty much every day, and I've even done the fix of editing my data profile username.

Actually, I will be interested to see whether we do receive the update with bootloader unlocked and rooted. I did see Moto say in the FAQs that they are under no obligation to offer updates to unlocked devices. However, that is probably just something they say, and they did also mention the bit about accepting the OTA when rooted/modded causing problems.

any idea is it JB or stil ICS?

Pretty sure its still ICS, I'm sure the guy would have said if it were JB, plus something that significant would have hit the various sites beforehand most likely.

yeah, if it were JB we most probably would have heard about it beforehand. i haven't seen many people with the update yet, today i keep getting 'check for update not available at this time'.

Probably to fix the vsncp error message problem.

i just got off a chat with Sprint, and they said there is no such update currently
unless maybe it was released, then pulled due to bugs?

I woke up to a notification of the update. Size was about 50mb. I pressed 'later' to cancel it, even though it'll fail if I take it since I'm unlocked.

The tech was an idiot, I just got the popup notification and was able to click on the link for the release notes.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/90757

Yeah, I just got the update notice myself. Thanks!
Gonna install and check it out. Can always revert if it's no good.

I'm gonna try restoring the bone-stock backup file, reflashing stock recovery, and then installing the update. From past experience, unlocked bootloader has been ok, it just won't work if your system is rooted/modded.

I got the OTA message this morning.
Coming from the shift forum we have learned to never to install OTA updates. However this one looks harmless.
Who knows.. maybe my LTE will start actually working?

anyone do the update with a rooted phone>?

Got the update pushed down around 10:30 am est today.
From the release notes:
Multimedia Texting - Improved MMS texting functionality when the Data Username/NAI has changed to a shorter length

This is most likely the data profile extra ".com" fix. I like their wording.
Hey a quick question to everyone. Never really had to deal with Sprint for my epic since XDA had everything I needed but I have gotten very concerned with the information around this and the "VSNCP" stuff. Are the tech's normally this clueless? Is there a quick way to talk to someone that actually knows what they are talking about? They told me I had to get a new phone the other day due to these issues. How could they tell me that if a software update to fix it is going to be release a week later?

I am rooted and unlocked and the upgrade went through fine. Now I am not rooted anymore, but that shouldnt be hard to fix.

I am also rooted (and unlocked, of course you have to be unlocked to be rooted ), but my phone went through a different scenario.
I downloaded the update (was 56MB I believe, somewhere around there. The update is 77.8.10.en.US). Downloaded it via Wi-Fi, then the phone asked if I wanted to install. I pressed Install Now, and it rebooted.
My phone rebooted and went into recovery. I dont remember everything, but it asked if I wanted to install "Unknown.zip", and it had:
No
No
No
No
Yes - Install Unknown.zip
No
No
No
Etc... I clicked No, then it went to the recovery menu (where you have the option to restart the phone, and the other options.. sorry, I've only ever rooted my evo shift so my termoinology is limited). I rebooted the phone via the first option, the phone went through its process, came back up fully, and rebooted by itself! Everything happened again (asking to install the unknown.zip, etc..). Basically, it was in an endless look when I would restart the phone.
First thing I tried was to wipe the Delvik Cache. Did that, rebooted, phone came back up and rebooted by itself again.
Second thing I tried (and I had a feeling I would probably regret this cause it would either brick my phone or unroot it), was to install that Unknown.zip. But that didnt even go through. The install failed (A message appeared at the bottom of the phone along with the other message logs, so I really dont remember exactly what it said. It was just an error message basically).
At this point I didnt know what to do... so I got to the recovery menu (where it said Reboot phone, Advanced, and the other options), and I selected the one that said to Wipe Cache. Not the Delvik cache but the phone cache (I dont think the option said Wipe Cache, but something similar?). Did that, rebooted, and my phone stayed on! The update popped up again, and this time I pressed "Later". Learned my lesson.
I guess the update may be hit or miss for rooted users?

Yes, clockwork recovery booted up and the update failed.. probably going to flash the stock image..
But my phone says I'm up to date?

Possibly..I dunno. I used the 2nd method posted only a few weeks ago and a few clicks of the mouse to root...not the first method initially posted when the phone first came out. When I clicked update now it simply rebooted and the android guy came up and did its thing...about 5 minutes later everything was back to normal.

I wiped my phone completely and am not getting a notification about the OTA now.
I'm flashing TWRP and hoping I get notified again.
Is there a way to flash the stock recovery?

I installed this update, all I can confirm is that it's still Android version 4.0.4. Otherwise I've really not noticed anything different or new yet, but I haven't had much of a chance to use it.

[Q] HELP! Data but no signal!

So I started today feeling a little creative so I flashed the newest MIUI ROM, there was a data issue that I tried to work out and in the end screwed everything up.
I lost signal but I have data.
I have tried probably 10 ROMs and the same has happened, I am getting a roaming sign, but it shows I have bars (I am connected to a wireless repeater so full service all the time on 3g).
What in the world do I do? I've seriously tried everything. I flashed back to stock through ODIN and nothing still.
PLEASE tell me someone has seen heard this problem... WHAT DO I DO?
Thanks in advance...

Go to settings - about phone - status and tell us if your IMEI is a bunch of zeros or a string of numbers.

It's not I its still the right one, that was something I checked... I considered doing a IMEI restore anyway and maybe that would fix the problem but I still definitely have it there. Thanks

Read the thread and go into Mobile settings and fix the settings. After that you'll be good to go.

How I Fixed It
Hey there. Not sure if your still having this problem, but I ran into the same issue with my new phone after rooting, unlocking bootloader, and flashing MIUI. To fix it, I had to odin to stock (Pre-Jellybean for the Samsung Utility), which I got from here: http://hotfile.com/dl/169363562/8975152/SCH-I535_VZW_I535VRALG1_I535VZWALG1.zip.html%20
Then I ran the Samsung Repair Utility from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&page=18
The Samsung Repair Utility said my ERI was present and my IMEI was accurate per the back of my phone. Desperate, I ran the "Repair ERI" anyway which made no difference until I followed the OP's directions to dial the code to run the factory reset if the tool didn't work. That seemed to do the trick :victory:
Good Luck.

[Q] Sporadic Service Problems

I have a GS2 running Cyanogemod 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2) on AT&T. The main issue I have is that of the service for calling/texting being extremely sporadic (as in, most of the time, it either doesn't have service at all or says it has service, but is unable to do anything). I gets texts hours after the person sent them, and I miss almost all calls.
It's not just an issue of spotty service or a messed up SIM card, since I can put the card into my other phone and is works perfectly. It's also probably not a radio issue, since WiFi is unaffected and I've reflashed a few different radios a few different times.
I've also tried just restoring an old backup or two, reinstalling an older version of Cyanogemod, and messing with the APN's (which, as far as I've been able to find online, are at the correct settings).
Rebooting and turning off WiFi sometimes seem to help, but I haven't found any consistent pattern with that.
Does anybody know what's going on?

Please tell me you're using the ucmc1 radio? If not, flash it and do some reading first next time.

Hi - FWIW I had this problem for a while - wasnt using that ROM but i had to try a few different radios until i found one that worked. I would suggest trial and error. I would tell you which one Ended up working but my screen is broken... i do remember UCMC1 worked for me, but i think another one gave me more bars at my house, so i stuck with that.

Well, I tried all the JB and ICS radios for the GS2 that are on the sticky (as well as some of the GB) and none of them worked. At this point, I think I'll try restoring to stock to see if that does anything.
