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.
My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?
Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......
1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.
As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.
I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.
i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!
Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

flash to stock 2.3.3 using the link in my signature. YOU NEED BOOTLOADERS coming from 2.2
Hi everyone,
I've got the desire s a few days now and allready tried various roms. However my mobile internet connection when browsing doesn't seems to work. In app like facebook and whatsapp there is no problem what so ever, but when I try to open google.com it loads for a second and after that nothing happens. All I see is a blank screen and that's it. On wifi there is no problem everything works very well. I also tried different browser but the problem is always the same. Loads for a second and then a blank page.
Hope that anyone has a solution, cause I don't know what to do anymore. And I wouldn't like to send my phone back since that can take weeks before it's send back.

It would help if you tell us what ROM you are using
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
Sorry, right now I'm on the latest Europe ruu 2.1 something.
But as I mentioned before it doesn't really matter it happens on custom roms and different versions of the official ruu... The only thing I don't know if it worked straight out of the box.

in which case I'd be rebooted to try a full factory reset, then re test and report back
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
thanks for your help,
I rebooted to fastboot and there I did a factory reset. But the problem still occurs. That would make sense since flashing other roms didn't help either while I did whipe al the required partitions like cache, delvik cache, system en formatted them all. It seem's a software fault in I guess my radio because apps work fine. It's only the browser.
Robit
Try this...
Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names-->(touch on your provider)-->touch Proxy and erase so that it is blank, and touch Port and make sure it is blank.
Save those changes, and reboot your phone. Has that worked?

thanks for your input.
But both are allready blank and if the settings are wrong apps like mail, whatsapp and facebook wouldn't work either right? I'll try and report back but I wouldn't make any sense to me.

edit: edited APN, rebooted but it still doesn't work
Nuts. Was sure it sounded like an APN issue. Have you tried ringing your provider and asking for them to resend the apn? Or you could search for it and just check it matches. I'll do a little more digging and get back to you. (I'm sure i encountered this problem before. Can't for the life of me remember the fix though. Not giving up!

OK I'm still thinking it's APN issue. All other instances I have found of browsers only working on WiFi, this has been the cause. Can I have a little more information about your circumstances?
What provider are you with?
Which country are you in?
Which ROMs have you tried, and which are you currently running?
It may be worth you completely deleting your APN and starting a new one from fresh with your provider's confirmed details. Be aware that the APN itself is case-sensitive.
Maybe worth trying: going to dialer and dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Then from the menu that pops up, go to phone info and scroll down to network connection type. I have 'WCDMA preferred' and that has always worked for me.
What is yours set to?
What provider are you with?
- Hi
Which country are you in?
- Netherlands
Which ROMs have you tried, and which are you currently running?
- Right now its the latest RUU 2.10.401.5 with the radio included. I tried the bindroid v2.1 and Beatmod blisssense hybrid latest version. Noticed it at first with the bindroid reflashed it but still occured, so I switched to beatmod still didn't work so went back to stock all together.
It may be worth you completely deleting your APN and starting a new one from fresh with your provider's confirmed details. Be aware that the APN itself is case-sensitive.

What is yours set to?
- Same here, so that's no difference.
But question for you, if it would be an APN setting, apps which require an active internet connection wouldn't work either right?
Thanks for your time once again!
From what I have read on the matter so far, it would seem that other apps can use 3G if an APN or data plan issue prevents the browser from working. Sorry if I am grasping at straws here, but has your provider confirmed that your data plan is confirmed on their end?
Other people with similar issues found that "Opera Mini" browser would work on 3G when no others would. Is this also the case for you? I know this is a work-around & not a solution, just trying to rule things out.
Edit: Another thing to try would be to ask a friend (who's 3G internet does work) and borrow their SIM card.
Another edit: Found this after some searching for Hi APN settings. I know I said to remove the Proxy address and port number, but have you tried putting these in:
APN: internet
Username: (niets invullen)
Password: (niets invullen)
Proxy: 10.10.100.20
Poort: 5080
Now that is strange, it does work with the Opera Mini browser. So at least something is working now.
I renewed my contract and got the desire s with it. But the terms of my data plan are changed so it could be that that is the reason that the internet isn't working. I'll call in the morning with customer service to see if that is the reason.
I did now, but still nothing.
So I'll make a phone call and see what they have to say. I usually don't really have much confidence with customer service so that's the reason why I tried my luck here first. But if it is a provider issue than I don't have much choice of course.
Once again thanks!
Cool. That's ruled out hardware fault. There is nothing physically wrong with your phone! It's a software, setting or Sim card issue.
Good luck with your provider. Will be interested to know if you get to the bottom if it. If i find any more clues I'll post them here or pm you.

Well I called today the customer service today and they contacted the tech guys which apparently made some changes to my APN settings, which I can't find btw, but everything is working now. So I'm happy
Thanks for your time, it's appreciated.

First: Is it just me, or is Google Maps constantly running in the background? Not only is it constantly running, but there seems to be three different instances of it running in my background. Every time I open TasKiller, there's always 3 icons for Maps.
Second: Normally my wifi works, but when I'm at school I have issues with it. My school's wifi requires that I set the 'Phase 2 authentication' to "MSCHAPV2," but when I do that, it automatically resets it to default (which is no phase 2 authentication). I've tried all of the other options for Phase 2 authentication, and every time I close the wifi options, it's back to the default option. Should I use logcat for this?
Maps runs in the background no matter what ROM you're on.

The maps always running issue can be solved by using an app such as autostarts.

I figured that it would start on it's own no matter what, but why are there three instances of it? Nevertheless, I'll try out Autostarts to have it stop coming up on its own.
Does anyone have an idea about the wifi issue?

Does anyone have an idea about the wifi issue?

I created a bogus wifi setup on the phone & I see the same issue; it defaults the Phase 2 authentication back to "None". I am not on Valhalla Black, either. I'm on stock 2.3.6 with bhndven's SMS kernel (3.1) so I think we're on the same kernel.
I don't want to say the kernel is the issue, though. Maybe someone else on here that is on a different kernel can try to create a wifi connection on their phone?
I'll wipe mine later and flash straight stock & see if I have the same issue. Might just be a 2.3.6 bug.

It's not anything bhundven has done to the kernel. Just tried it on my wife's phone and it's completely stock and I get the same results as you guys. After googling the issue it looks like most people were having a problem after upgrading to GB 2.3.4 and up. It looks like it goes further than our device.

Thanks for saving me some time Now the question is why.....
I wonder if its a problem with the certificates that are installed. Maybe they don't play nicely with Android?
Thanks guys for the responses at least now I know it's not just my phone. I'm visiting a friend away from home at the moment so I can't take any action right now, but once I get home, i'll try to google this a bit and see if I can find a solution.

Hi folks
I have a Nexus S (i9020a). It has stock 4.1.2 Jelly bean from Google (downloaded the stock image and flashed it). It worked fine for over a month.
Suddenly few days back this device got a problem. When I dial any number I can't hear any dialing sounds and even after the call has connected I can't hear the opposite person and the opposite person also can't hear me (The phone still shows as 'Dialing' though it's already connected). The same is true when I answer any call. Both parties can't hear anything.
This is solved by rebooting the phone for the first phone call only. After I reboot, the 1st phone call works fine, then this problem persists for any calls I make/receive until I reboot the phone again.
I tried flashing a different radio but this problem is still there. I tried my sim card on a different phone and it works fine, so the problem is not that too. My 3G data works just fine.
I need this phone for the next few days/weeks (hopefully not months) before my Nexus 4 gets delivered :laugh:
Thanks..
Edit: Modified the title; Probably gave the wrong meaning that the problem is solved.
<bump> Modified the title. Earlier title gave an impression that the problem is solved whereas I still have a problem.
Have you installed any apps which could somehow affect the dialler?
Unless someone else can give you a different advice, I can't think of any other option than do a full wipe and reflash.
I haven't installed any such apps.
Also, I already did a full wipe and flashed the stock image again. The problem is still there.
Don't know what else you could try, sorry mate - hope someone else can help you sort it out!
Thanks for trying. I think I will go to some hardware shop and see if they can figure out..
Try using a headset for making phone calls so that we can identify if it's really the hardware's problem.

I had similar problem when RAM running out. Usually a reboot fix the problem for a bit.
What I did:
1. With Titanium Backup Pro, froze unused RAM hogging system apps, like Google+, Google play magazine,etc
2. Froze or uninstall Facebook, Word with Friends, etc which are resident and hog RAMs .
3. Install marmite kernel, free up more usable RAMs.
Hope it helps you too.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I tried this too but doesn't work...
Try any custom ROM instead of stock ROM and a different kernel too. There could be chances that you've flashed the wrong ROM / radio too.

Problem solved.
I went to a hardware store today. The guy said that it's a problem with the 3G service of my carrier (Vodafone India). The moment I enabled the '2G only' option in the Mobile networks settings area, this problem was gone. The technician said that this issue is affecting some people randomly. He said that since 3G service was launched just last year, the networks are not yet capable of handling all kinds of devices (he claims that the bug is so erratic that another Nexus S i9020a may work just fine with the very same bootloader/radio/rom which doesn't make any sense). When I said that 3G service was working fine before, he said that most probably my carrier changed some settings on their side which is causing this issue for me.
I have tried this for 6-8 hours now, making a lot of phone calls and it seems that the issue is gone. It saddens me that I am off 3G for now but at least my phone calls and basic EDGE internet works fine. I will have to work with Vodafone to solve this or simply wait for my new phone (Nexus 4) and hope it won't have the same problem..
