[Q] CM7 issues

I installed CM7 on my infuse yesterday and having an issue. I have read alot of forums but haven't found an answer. I am having connection issues while using the phone. I have flashed different modems still doesn't change anything. When I am using the market I get connection timed out. It switches between H, 3g, and E all the time. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Read thru the cm7 thread in dev section is a good place to start ready to find your answer. Me personally have no data issues while on cm7

Look for the APN fix it is in many places.
My data dies when I first access the market. After I leave the market and it will come back and I have no trouble after that.
As for it switching between 4,H,3,E CM7 is giving you real connection info when other ROMS do not.

I use to have that problem all the time, I use a different Apn, fixed it now my phone only has one apn for everything. Password is CINGULAR1. Hope you find success with this, I deleted all the other apns; Facebook did it to me as well.

1) Do you require bluetooth? If yes, don't use CM7. 2) Can you read instructions? If so, there's an easy fix for the APN thing and you'll be all set. CM7 is fantastic, I've used it for a long time.

In the instructions he asks to boot into recovery and flash the rom. now when i reboot into 3e recovery theres no option to install from zip... all there is are these options: reinstall packages, delete user data, delete cache data, format internal sd card...

ok... figured it out... had to select reinstall packages

I like cm7 on every phone I have had, my phone runs 100% better, remember step where u flash again and to download Google apps zip to get market to get all ur apps and I'd recommend getting titanium back pro. I like backing up all my apps. Faster to load ur stuff back on phone.

thanks for the tip... i was a bit confused where the market place had gone
apps are downloading now... i backed up me apps and data with titanium... now when i restore, my apps and data will get overwritten i assume....

guys, sorry for the wrong section..

Yes. You can root using SuperOneClick.

Yes it some apps don't always restore well via backup though. Like adobe I usually restore flash without data. Free version of titanium back will piss you off it stops on every app it restores.

start over as in reinstall gapps or reflash rom? and the steps for reflashing are the same as before or something different has to be done? and this time i should avoid restoring titanium backup??

I would wipe, reflash, I only restore user apps via titanium backup. Might download Google apps again. You only have to flash once if ur on cm7, just wipe flash cm7 and then flash Google apps. Then reboot.

ok...by wipe you mean format /system from recovery and reflash? also i have this weird thing where wifi icon no longer shows up if the phone is screenlocked for some time. when you unlock the wifi comes on. is the a CM thing or some setting i need to tweak for always ON wifi... thanks for all the help!
Also should I go to th 12/13dec build or the 20 nov build thats the latest on the links???

Wipe in where recovery and flash is. I would use newest build 12/13. I just haven't had time to update yet. Wifi, not sure where setting is since I don't use wifi with screen off but in past many phones would shut off wifi when screen goes off.

Definately go with the latest 12/13 and when you are in wifi setting hit menu button and advanced settings choose wifi never sleeps

Please help - Cyanogen Nightmare! Can't connect to cell network

EDIT: RIGHT AFTER POSTING, MY PHONE RANDOMLY STARTED WORKING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DID BESIDES POST HERE. MAGIC.
I installed Cyanogen version 7.2.0 just fine using the guide that was found here: http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
However, the next morning I think I enabled the 2g/3g switch widget - and then my phone entered into a constant and continuous loop of "com.android.phone has unexpectedly closed" - and couldn't connect to cell service.
In a panic, I searched everywhere for fixes. I then tried a few of the fixes which instructed you to download "sqlite editor" and do some edits to the settings file. I did this, along with a couple of other network edits, resetting them to "0" instead of the "1" they were currently set to. No help.
Finally, I went into the Open Recovery system and did a full reset on cache/factory reset/etc. and then rebooted into cyanogen. Now my network won't even connect for a half a second and then crash like before - just straight up NO CONNECTION.
Now I've went through and attempted changing back some of those settings I messed around with in Sqlite - but to no avail.
Anyone with any ideas on how I can get an operating phone again, please let me know. I noticed I still have all my apps from previously, so I don't think I'm really factory resetting the phone. That could be part of the issue, I'm sure....I am very depressed and hoping for a miracle!!

Look into installing minimod recovery and then flashing the correct radio for your location after a full wipe.
If you do a google search you should find minimod. I'm on my phone or I would just link you.

OK Thanks for your reply.
However, randomly, just after I posted this - I looked down and my phone had a full 2G Connection. Went into baseband settings, enabled 850 band 3G, and now I have full 3G connectivity.
I have no clue how this happened. XDA forum is magical?
Thanks again for your reply, but thankfully I don't need the minimod suggestion as of now!!

You're welcome. You might want to go ahead and install minimod though. I made the mistake of not having it installed and flashed a new rom without the ability to select bands and was without a phone all day. It's better safe than sorry.

[Q] Sensation cant connect to mobile data

Hey all,,,I have a tmo sensation and have opensensation currently installed....the thing doesnt want to connect to mobile data...keeps showing the H then disconnects and repeats. Just happened recently and has been working fine on official nightly builds.
been searching around and seen others with the same issue but havent seen a fix for it
apn is correct
anyone have any idea's?

Found an answer to this in another thread. Apparently its a problem with the audio routing fix in CM roms that causes data issues in some devices.
I flashed: http://d-h.st/RFY this and it data is back to normal.

Did you flash that after wipe or over the top? I just wiped and flashed and am continuing to get the flashing data. Restoring back to Sense works and is an option, but the oddest thing for me was that this issue occurred like over night, without any installation on my part.

I actually flashed the superwipe.zip I had on my sd from a different rom I had installed then flashed that rom from the link and it worked great.
I think the superwipe was in the elegencia rom thread in development.

gotcha, ARHD also has the Superwipe.zip Thanks for the tip.

Mine did the same I just deleted apn and programmed it again . I have simple mobile

[Q] Have IMEI number, but lost phone number after flashing

I did a full wipe and flashed the CM10.1 nightly released for the d2vzw this morning. When it rebooted I had no cell service. Looking in settings i have the proper IMEI number but my cell number is listed as 000-000-1361, MIN is 1361, PRL is 1. what can I do to fix it? I tried restoring a nandroid but the result is the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any one try Odin back to stock?

I have a similar issue and I have been going around and around with it without any luck. I restored my latest backup and I still have 000-000-3257 with a PRL of 1. I will try the ops recommendation and will report back.
Odin to stock is my next move unless someone else can think of something else to try.

Try clearing dalvik cache in recovery. Fixed it for me on AOKP. Had the exact same thing where my phone number was a bunch of zeroes. Still had service though when I hit the home button to bypass the activation screen.

I tried to remove the sim, and boot, and readd the sim and boot but no go. I will try it again but then I think I am going back to stock to see if that works.

Everything still works fine. No need to get worried......it just doesn't report your phone number accurately. Its not like it actually effects functionality. I ran it with an f'ed phone number for 3 days. Everything ran fine. Don't sweat it. If its a problem, wait until tomorrows official nightly comes out tonight and you'll be set.

My issue is it is affecting my functionality. My phone is not working and whenever I call out I get a generic message saying my phone is not active.
I restored a backup from when I first rooted. Now my phone number is listed properly and when I get into a 4G coverage area I can get data, but I still can't call out and it shows I am roaming when I am in a 3G area.

OP on CM10.1 says that dirty flashing Unofficial 10.1 build 12/17/12 will restore data. Any luck with this fix?

I was very unlucky and the dirty flash didnt work for me. However, I did have a backup of my IMEI and was able to flash it back to my phone.

I ran into the same problem after flashing 10.1... lost IMEI and stuck on roaming, had no backup.
To fix it i did the following
1) Odin back to stock
2) use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442
3) reprovish the phone using this code in the dialer *2767*3855#
IMEI restored and no longer on roaming

THANK YOU!. I could not get the IMEI/ERI tool to work, but I did get *2767*3855# code to work. I had to roll back to a older version of the official rom (I think rolling back the radio would have been OK) but I am not up and working.

I flashed back to stock as well and then used the same number to reprovision. After that everything worked fine it fixed the roaming, incorrect number, PRL, and all. I never lost my IMEI so I didnt do that step. but if you flash back to the cm 10.1 before they fix the data it will happen again :laugh:

I can't remember for sure, but I think that is something that the VZW tech had me do, and it didn't work. Maybe someone else who is having the issue can test and comment.

Weird ROM behavior, no data connection

So I installed bmm without issue, made my back ups and started trying roms. I had a hell of a time getting anything to boot. I would get stuck on the boot animation every time. Finally got slim kat installed and that is the only one I can reliably boot into. Tried aokp 4.3 which booted the first time but gets stuck on the animation now.
Also, when aokp worked I had no mobile data. Same problem currently with slim kat.
Where do I go from here? I've tried clearing cache and davlik on both with no luck.

Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2

Well wcdma only didn't do anything. After messing with Slimkat and another 4.4 ROM (which only worked until I rebooted) I've decided that there are just too many bugs for me to use it daily. I decided to try a 4.3 ROM but I'm still having issues getting one to boot after the first reboot. I've let it sit on the boot animation for 45 minutes and it never loaded.
I haven't found a lot of advice on the subject of ROMs only booting once. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I realize this is an old one, but I thought it might be worth mentioning...
I had the same problem. When I copied APN data (specifically "apn type") from my stock ROM data did enable, but at a very slow speed. A quick search yielded this AT&T site which suggested different settings. I was able to choose the "ATT Phone" config and modify "apn type" from "default,supl,mms" to "default,mms,supl,hipri".
When I modified that value, data was much faster, but still only clocked 3.5 Mbps on my CM ROM vs 5.1 on Stock with SpeedTest.net app. I believe it used different servers and I only did a single AB test.
...and by the way - I am also a bit frustrated with the BMM setup. It seems like a third of the time I am unable to successfully boot back into my CM ROM. It always seems to boot into Stock ROM fine. I do have CM in the second slot which it sounds like some folks prefer to not use.
