[Q] No Data after ROM installation? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Flashed my new G2X this morning, backed up my Stock build, and started playing with ROMs. Each time I installed a ROM, I could not get data. Everytime I restored my stock build, data resumed. This must be an easy fix.
Tried CM7.2 Stable, Hellfire Phoenix, and Eaglesblood.
What did I miss? TIA.

Check your APN. Hit restore default and it'll load them.

Brilliant. Thanks much. Figured it was something easy.

So, I've noticed that after a given reboot, the APN's will disappear. Restore to default does nothing, but if I reboot again they will come back. Is this common?

Reboot it happened to me

Never had a problem with APNs going missing myself. I'm on Wind in Canada though so there's the off chance that makes a slight difference. Doubtful though.

[Q] EaglesBlood's 2.3.7 GingerBread For G2X NO DATA!!!!

Is anyone having this issue? I cant find a fix for it, this is really a great rom if not the BEST!!!
Have you tried a hard reboot? Do you have apn's listed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that CM7 2.3.7 has the data fix, but try the DragonG2X kernel, which has the APN fix that the cyanogen team came up with, should hopefully fix your problems. If it doesn't, try a clean install with a full wipe and the kernel, if that doesn't work, you might need a new sim card (small chance of that one making a difference), and if that doesn't work, you have no chance.

Yes I have tried doing a hard reboot, flashing the rom again and wiping everything and it still has no data. Also i have flashed an older rom and it still has the problem, and I know its not the sim card or my phone because with other roms it works perfectly, its a shame because i really liked that rom.
no i dont have apn's listed
Try the kernel mentioned above.
And put your phone number in settings<call settlings<additional settings
I've seen that fix the apn issue for some.

Sorry for the question but how can I flash a rom? Via clockworkmod, installing from SD card?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I think you mean kernel right? If so, yes, thru cwm like a rom. Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing it the fix permissions before reboot.

Yes that's what I meant hahaha, OK will try it!!!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Try this, flash the tmobile recovery first, then boot into the phone. Wipe from settings, privacy, wipe the sdcard box or whatever... let it do its thing, until it reboots after the part when android flys up, pull the battery, then flash clockwork recovery, wipe everything again, then flash what you need, wipe data, pull battery, flash stock tmobile recovery, then hold down volume down and power until it wipes it's own, let it load, then flash back the recovery of your choise if needed... everything should work after this. I notice that if I don't do these steps, my use up memory after flashing any rom is pass 260, but when I do these steps, its at around 160mb

[Q] Wifi issues.

Why does my wifi connection disconnects and connects a lot? I am on cm7 but I know it's not a rom issue because it was also happening when I was on infused 2.2.3. I'm on the j2 leaked modem, but it also happened when I was on the i3 modem or the i4, I forget which.
I don't believe it's my router, because there's a solid signal when I test it on the laptop and on our roku.
What do you think the problem is and how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am coming from the Jordan's j2 rom. It first started happening on the infused rom. Restored back to stock and went onto the infused froyo. Haven't had a problem on that rom. Then j2 came out and flashed that. All was good until last night. Flashed cm7 this morning and made sure I did a full wipe. It's still happening.

Any ideas? Did a full wipe and flashed cm7 again. Back on i3 and still the same. Restored my apps without data through tibu.

I have the same issue. Stock unrooted.

Yeah. It's getting annoying. Lol ill try to go back to stock using gtg's ultimate unbrick. It worked last time I did that.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Okay so what I am noticing is that the wifi on my phone is constantly scanning for connection. and when it finds my wifi, it tries to connect with it, even if it is already connect. so it forces it to disconnect, then connect again.
anybody know how to stop this?
I'm stock and don't have the issue, also have tried Infused/GSInfuse and didn't have the issue, though I didn't stick with either of them for more than a few days before going back to stock. I use mine on wifi at home and work without problems at all.
Hmm yeah I don't know why it's doing it. It didn't do it before. I'm still trying to figure it out.

It was happening before cm7 so I know it's not a rom issue. Started to happen in infused and carried into the gb leaks. Stopped for a while, and it's happening again.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Update: wow so far my wifi hasn't disconnected on me yet. So I'm guessing it's is something with the system binaries or whatever you want to call it. Before it would keep scanning and force to disconnect and try to connect again with my router. Still testing but so far so good. I would recommend that app to anybody who's having the same problem as I was.

[Q] [Solved] Titanium Backup

Ok, here it goes. I have been using tbu for a few years now on various phones. I am using version 3.9.0.1. This is one of the first problems i have had with it. When I go to install or uninstall any app, I get a force close. I have tried numerous things to get it working again with no success. Anyone have any thoughts?

The only thing i can think of is, i have too many apps backed up. I have 247 user apps that equal 3gb. I don't know, I'm lost on this. I might back them all up on my computer, then start uninstalling them normally. I'll get rid of 50 or so and then use tbu and see if it acts any better.

Since I updated to ICS (the official ICS) I can't send or receive pictures. Everything else works perfectly just that. I can send texts and receive them but when it comes to pics its a no go.

Yea I had the same issue. Check the apn settings. If you root your phone try apn backup and restore. Read the whole thing about installing on ICS. It will work. Try backing up your gingerbread APN and restore it on ICS. Worked great for me.

Can rom installation fix network problems on stock ics?

First post
Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,
Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

Alright! I guess I'll try the restore first. Do you think it'll wipe my unlock? And I have titanium backup, so after I restore I can just restore things from it?

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

I guess. Does the warranty last for a year?
Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.

So just to be sure of the process:
1)download link under the 9/26 update to root of SD card
2)enter boot menu
3) install it from there? :0
