[Q] Voicemail Notification not working - Videotron - EB AOSP ICS 4.0.4 Bld 3 - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hey guys,
I've been searching for almost a week and can't seem to find any info on this.
I have the latest build (3) of EaglesBlood AOSP ISC 4.0.4. Everything pretty much works now except the voicemail notifications.
I can call VM, programmed all in the settings, that's all good. But when I get messages, I don't get the notification.
My provider is Videotron (Vidéotron) and thinking could the french accent causing this? When it detects the provider, it doesn't show the 'é'...
Not sure what to do at this point. I get the missed call icon, I can check every time I get that but it's more annoying than anything.
As we are rare here prople with Videotron, it might be hard to get an answer...
Any help would be appreciated.

Any solutions?
Thanks

I dont know if there are no answers cause there are so few people with those carriers or, cause there are so few people that actually T-Mobile VM still... I use Google Voice and I know a bunch of my friends do as well.... Hopefully someone will come your guys way soon.

Well now I'm running EaglesBlood™ Gingerbread [CM 2.3.7] and everything works in that one. I'm also missing the 'é' in Videotron but that doesn't seem to matter in this ROM.
I'll wait until EB AOSP ICS 4.0.4 it's fully release (with the Tegra2 drivers and all if that ever happens) before switching back as I found that it was faster running certain apps than my GB ROM.
I have to say I did prefer ICS look and feel and how it runs and manages apps but those were the 2 biggest annoyances for me. (VM Notifications and no Vid Cam) That's why I downgraded to GB.

So there never was a solution to this? I'm with Videotron too. I just installed Hellfire Sandwich for the first time and I have a similar problem: I don't hear anything when I call my voicemail and I don't receive message notifications.
I love ICS... and everything else works on the phone. It would suck that I'd have to go back just because of this bug...

I switched to cm7 to fix it but I think it has something to do with the carrier list or something
Btw does any of you still have a stock froyo videotron back up? I kinda lost mine

I had one... but I tried to flash it and it failed. I think it's corrupted.
It really sucks about the phone part of HFS... because the rest works so well! But yeah, I guess I'll have to go back down to Gingerbread... and wait another million years for a miracle mod that would actually work.

Well, I went with Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 and everything now works fine. There go my dreams of ICS... I wonder if I'll ever have a working version running on my 2X or if I'll buy a new phone before that. I don't think I can do more than 2 years with the same phone... and this one is already more than a year old...

[Q] - Will you use CM9?

Simple question. If it ever becomes available (no official updated in well over a month) will you use this as an everyday ROM on your G2X?
I for one may try it out, but as most users have reported on the CM website, CM7 is so broken I may just wait for the stock version.
What do you mean by cm7 is broken? And I very likely would use it?

Here's the way I figures it: my stock ROM was bugged, it took soft bricking it and reloading a stock rom, which went buggy and finally flashing CM7 to get a rom which worked correctly. The only broken thing I notice if DSP manager FC'ing and Volume+ FC'ing, if I compare that to the ton of advantages and the fact it's actually stable OS-wise, I'd rather deal with two apps FC'ing at times then not even being able to text or the responsiveness being so poor that I want to throw the phone at someone.
So, yea, +1 for running CM9 if/when it comes out.
Yeah... I don't think cm7 is broken at all.
Gapps not loading for you is your fault, either you did or didn't flash the right zip, or it's just ignorance on your part.
Of course people will use cm9 if it works for our phone, that's a redundant question. ICS would run so smooth for us if everything works.
Just switched to cm7 because of random reboots and programs closing out while using them on stock.
cm7 is ok so far when i restored everything i got alot of force close but thats all due to mixmatch date since i was on 2.3.3 lg and no on 2.3.7 cm7.
but i got everything to work just find for me. Took the rom apart and repacked it with some stuff.
So what im saying is you probably did something wrong. And i would run cm9 if it came out that would be ICS but also ill be moving to a galaxy s2 by the time it comes out.
CM7 is Gold
Transitioning from the stock G2X ROM, to CM7. CM7 is like Goldmaster for this phone, as good as it gets. Awesome battery life. Usability, No random crashes. It just sounds like you picked a bad version to begin with. Now what built, and nightly were you using. Did you try the stable 7.0.0.1.
Always clear cache & Darvik and then proceed.

Can't say I've tried to send a true mms, just huge texts messages which get sent as an mms. Try an app called Handcent; the stock messaging app is to fail!
Before getting throttled for downloading on a 2g network (so much for that 5gigs of "high-speed" data, liars), youtube worked fine.
GPS issue has nothing (well, almost) nothing to do with CM, there's three threads that I know about regarding gps fixes. The only "gps" problem I notice now is that google maps sucks at getting a lock and I have to use Gps Status to get the satelites homed in on me before Maps will get my location.
I am positive the devs will get us a good working version of ics so when cm9 comes out and is as stable and fast as my current setup i will daily drive it for sure
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Once a working ICS-based build becomes available, I will certainly give it a look.
CM7 is working fine for me, i had to flash the gapps, and its working fine. And yes i would run CM9 when it comes out...
For sure I'll use, cm7 rocks! Hope cm9 goes the same way!!

[Q] Unable to receive sms on some roms

Ok, this is a replacement g2x from tmobile, my first one didnt have this problem. The only roms that im able to receive sms on is eaglesblood or a 2.3.3 rom. Every other rom and i can only send, not receive. Any idea what could be causing this?
-I have checked my apn..its the same as in the eb rom when it is working.
-Getril says my ril is updated and its 21e.
-On tmobile and have july 15 baseband
You use the same method to flash the rom correct?

I tried the til that came with the rom . Then switched using getril when it wasn't working.
I have the same issue and have tried many things with no luck the only person I have seen with this issue and a resoultion is they swaped phones under warranty I think I might see if I can get mine changed out again already had one due to reboots why not try again if this fixes the problem will report back
This my second g2x , first one didn't have this problem..first one also had older baseband.

just noticed on eb cm7, fauxs beta 49 kernel i cant recieve sms, but with trinity elp kernel i can. So what changed? I think I should be able to receive texts on fauxs 48 kernel, will test later.
I stopped by tmobile and picked up a new sim card. No luck thought I would give it a shot
I think it is the older sim cards you have to look for but I have ordered a replacement phone and as soon as I get it I will flash and see if there is a difference

What did you tell tmobile to get a replacement?
I've had the same problem. I cant receive texts on any ics rom. But there is one thing I noticed, i couldn't receive texts on mobile data, only on wifi and only when wifi calling was turned on. Maybe this info can help us get to the bottom of this issue
I just told them the normal problems that the g2x has shutting off reboots the usual. On a positive note got my replacement yesterday and can say I happily sent this using AOKP ICE CREAM SANDWICH. I know now for a fact not all these phones are created equal just keep sending them back till you get a good one. Text message works great now from very smooth and fast just have to try and get video play back working a little better

THANKS! I've been searching left and right for solutions. I've tried CM7 the 3/15/2012 version and I've tried older versions, tried Eagle Blood, etc. and none could receive text messages, but sending worked fine. Could receive fine in the stock ROM. Was driving me nuts.
Thanks to you I tried the Trinity ELP kernel and it's working beautifully now in CM7. Now to figure out why changing APN settings and scanning for mobile networks is so screwy.... changing settings to Simple Mobile is so touchy.

Who went back to GB?

I'm on AOKP ICS but I'm considering going back to a GB ROM because of the better battery, a reliable HD camera, no sleep of death, etc. Anyone else on the same boat? I can't make a decision! :\

I went back and haven't looked back! ICS was too much of a hassle with all those problems you listed. If you haven't seen it yet, LG released a GB 2.3.4 update as of a few days ago I believe. I just updated to that today and it has been nothing but fast and reliable so far (knock on wood haha).

If you do decide to upgrade as of now (from reading the dev thread about this new update) it looks like if you flash a custom rom after installing the new march baseband you won't be able to make phone calls. Only works with the stock LG 2.3.4. Just a warning if you were thinking of flashing a rom with the new baseband. I'm sure they will come up with a solution soon though, they always do!
I've upgraded once to ICS, and I went back immediately. Although there were times when I flashed different ICS roms from different devs, but they all seem to have the same issues, so I just stayed on GB, I'm happy with Hellfire Phoenix, really stable with Faux CM kernel at stock voltage.
I did as well, the UI wasn't worth all the technical difficulties. Went from HFS to HFP.

Can't the baseband be restored to an older one withe the GetRIL app on the Play Store?
Btw, does the release of 2.3.4 signify that we won't be getting ICS officially? I might as well abandon ICS now if we're never going to get updated drivers from Nvidia...
Sent from my AOKP G2x
no and no to put it simple.
The GetRIL app does just that get's RIL's no a baseband.
We never knew or will we know cause LG can't make up their mind it seems. Some forums have public LG moderators/employees that state that they haven't heard a thing about LG giving the G2X ICS love. On the other hand I have read places and posted here that LG's Facebook stated that they will update our phone and the European version to ICS sometime in the 2nd quarter. So it's pretty much don't hold your breath and be patient.
The fact that LG hasn't given up on updating the G2x means a lot...even though it's been EOLed, though. But, speculation is speculation.
i went back to GB, due to the camera issue. the ISC roms are great but unless LG\Nvidia releases their drivers these roms will never be perfect. another reason i went back to GB is because i like MIUI (the whole interface and the ability to record calls). cant wait for MIUI v4.

Coming off of about a month using ics roms, its nice to get back to gb because EVERYTHING WORKS! Also, pretty sure the o2x will get ics towards the middle of this year. We just have to wait for the drivers to be ported. Until then, some of us can make due without hwa, but its hard to stay away from gb for too long.
Back on MIUI for now. I themed it to look like ICS so I'm satisfied for now. Much better battery life too! But I miss the ICS multitasking still.
I really like the UI on ICS and it works well enough for me that I've just stayed on it. Went to GB for a day and decided against it. The known issues with ICS have not really been an issue for me at all.
I used and was very happy running CM7, even installed it on my girl's phone which will likely stay that way.
A few weeks ago I went to Eagleblood's most recent AOSP build and don't see myself going back to any form of GB. Yes the ICS ROMs do have their issues but so far nothing game breaking for me.
pretty new here and I never even tried an ICS ROM yet. But even as an Android semi-noob it makes sense that an ICS ROM will not be as polished as a well done GB ROM. Hoping to try one soon but the general sentiment of this thread makes me think it will be a while before I do.

They're very usable and stable enough for daily use. If the known issues don't bother you, then you'll enjoy ICS. The first ROM I flashed to my phone was an ICS ROM and I've remained on ICS since. I tried going back to GB, but ended up flashing ICS again the next day. Give it a try. If you don't like it, you can always re flash a GB ROM.

How to upgrade the LG G2x P999 to Android 4.1.1 JB via CyanogenMod 10 (Unofficial)

Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

I tried a couple different versions of CM7 over the past few days, and its nothing but a nightmare. It will run flawlessly for hours and then something quirky will happen and I either cant get data, or cant make calls, or my screen locks up, and im rebooting the phone or looking for a fix on google. Wound up just going back to the stock rom with faux123 kernel.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over
I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.
We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.

My thoughts on my Optimus 3D P920

Well, I've been using this phone for 6 months now, I got it as a brand new phone. Maybe some of you interested in this, so let me point out the pros and cons here. Also, the point of this thread is to find a solutions to the mentioned _problems_ :angel:
Cons.
ICS is a battery and RAM hog. Sometimes I have the feeling that it's like running Windows 7 on a Pentium 3 with 512MB RAM. It's working but not as _fluid_ as Windows 98 on the same machine. Battery performed much much better on Froyo.
I heard there was a ghost call issue with GB ROMs. Never used GB on my P920.
Again, ICS. Since I am on the new OS I think I have to push the screen a bit more agressively. On Froyo I barely had to touch the screen and the phone responded very well. Not on ICS.
On Froyo with the same device the GPS lock were about 2-10 minutes. Such a joke.
Pros.
On ICS, I can get a GPS lock in 10-15 seconds. That is awesome. But still, battery drains much faster.
Finally I can use apps that require Android 4.0+ but I've been okay with Froyo.
Well, what do you think? I'm not saying that ICS is a bad os, but I beleive now that this handset is just way too underpowered to run ICS smoothly.
I also run into another issue, please refer to this thread.
Another question would be, how can I downgrade to a stable GB ROM (a rom without ghost calls) from the current ICS? Look, fellas. I'm not that techy guy but I can deal with it following a tutorial or something. But there are so many around here and can't decide which one to follow and the last thing I want to do is brick my phone. I'm kinda looking for a ROM where all the bloatware vanished from it
Appreciate your input, and sorry for the crappy layout and explanations, I'm not native when it comes to english
Take care!

Well, I've been using this phone for 6 months now, I got it as a brand new phone. Maybe some of you interested in this, so let me point out the pros and cons here. Also, the point of this thread is to find a solutions to the mentioned _problems_ :angel:
Cons.
ICS is a battery and RAM hog. Sometimes I have the feeling that it's like running Windows 7 on a Pentium 3 with 512MB RAM. It's working but not as _fluid_ as Windows 98 on the same machine. Battery performed much much better on Froyo.
I heard there was a ghost call issue with GB ROMs. Never used GB on my P920.
Again, ICS. Since I am on the new OS I think I have to push the screen a bit more agressively. On Froyo I barely had to touch the screen and the phone responded very well. Not on ICS.
On Froyo with the same device the GPS lock were about 2-10 minutes. Such a joke.
Pros.
On ICS, I can get a GPS lock in 10-15 seconds. That is awesome. But still, battery drains much faster.
Finally I can use apps that require Android 4.0+ but I've been okay with Froyo.
Well, what do you think? I'm not saying that ICS is a bad os, but I beleive now that this handset is just way too underpowered to run ICS smoothly.

Almost all GB Basebands have ghost call problems.
It's baseband related not ROM.
In v21e it occurred less frequently so people got the idea that it's not present. It is.
You have to flash an ICS baseband to get rid of the ghost call problem. I don't know if it's compatible with a ginger ROM.
I suggest giving cyanogenmod a crack , in either dual-boot or otherwise.
It's the fastest ROM there is but 3d and wireless hotspot doesn't work. I don't use those really.
It has nothing to do with the handset , the stock ROM is poorly made is all.

Be warned that ICS does had the ghost problem issue too.
I have thoroughly tested it and found it to happen on several occasions.

Ouch. Thanks for the heads up! Any chance to get back to a custom Froyo maybe? The phone was really fast with that OS, and I don't see much benefits running ICS on the P920.

I have not had this happen in Texas on v30A or v30C basebands.
I've tested it using both 30A and 30C basebands. Either on stock and non-stock ROMs.
I'm absolutely sure about this as I did the tests myself in front of my own eyes.
This also applies to ghost SMS, both sent and received.
SMS reported as sent were never delivered and I missed some received SMS too, checked from few different friends.
Hmm, dunno then. I've had some callers with the wrong number, but I have definitely had no SMS issues, except when I wad on 'ported ICS' from SU760, and that was only a character limit and no picture messages. Once official LG ICS for P920 came out, those bugs were killed.
If you used LG update tool, well that's another matter.

No v30c baseband doesn't have ghost calls. I thoroughly tested it.
Maybe the one you tested is v28b beta?

Well, happened me today. A friend of mine called me three times - and not a single notification on my phne. This is definitely no good. Guys, any chance to downgrade to Froyo? It was working just fine for me, but I can't find a guide or software anywhere.

As far as I know, this is the best solution for all your programs.
This special build got absolutely no serious bugs so you will enjoy it.

Thanks for the heads up. Downloading the files now, will post an update to there if I'm stuck. Anyways, what caused that the GPS lock took forever on Froyo? It's still super fast on ICS, even in offline mode. It's a crucial question for me, I like to geocache sometimes and it comes really handy

Try to set your ntp pool server in accordance to your location.
That'll speed it up.
If it doesn't fix it , i think it's simply a problem with froyo roms.
There's just no way i'm gonna use froyo now that i had a taste of vanilla android with cyanogenmod.
I'm selling this already , will go for nexus 4 or galaxy s4 i think.
