Hello Everyone,
This issue has been bothering me for over a month. I have searched several "MS support forum" threads, XDA Dev threads and multiple Audi forums, but all in vain.
I am not sure if anyone in here has had any issues with the Audi MMI while using a WP7 Handset. I hope that some smart person will have a word of advice for myself. Provided below is the process that I followed for pairing and testing:
1.Cleared all the existing paired devices from the MMI.
2.Cleared all the pairings from the cellphone. (Just to start with a clean slate).
3.Paired cellphone to MMI.
4.Check marked the prompt on cellphone, to Allow MMI to access my phone books and other cellphone data.
5.Call logs and telephone directory is accessible on the MMI.
6.Outgoing Calls from the MMI work without a hitch.
Up to here, everything is good. However, I am unable to answer the call from the car's MMI. If I may paint a scenario:
A call comes in.
The audio system gets paused.
I can hear the call ring, and Caller's ID is displayed in the car.
I click "Answer" from the MMI.
The call gets answered, but the only way to get the audio onto the car's system is to pull over and yank the phone out of your pocket and click the bluetooth button on the call menu.
But 1 in 10 times it would work just by clicking answer from MMI.
I have never had any issues with my Blackberry. Is anyone else aware of a similar issue or a resolution to this?
Thank you very much!
Details:
Cellphone : Nokia Lumia 800
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Vehicle: Audi S5
Audi MMI Version: HNav_US_P0110_D1 (Third Generation, HDD based)
is ur phone locked by any chance (I mean have u kept a lock on the screen) if you have than try once after removing the lock
I thought of exact same thing. Tried it both ways, same result.
Stealership!!
Well, took the car to the dealership, to check for any MMI updates that might be available. In the end, the guy said that there are no updates available, and they charged my 90 bucks for the labour . Gotta love Audi. And the car has "New car warranty" till 2015. Glorified car wash.
I am starting this thread to be a place for Terrain owners to come for the latest info on how to root and flash their phones. The Terrain is one of the best "rugged" phones on the market, but it has been abandoned by it's manufacturer, leaving owners to find their own solutions to problems and upgrades. This is actually a good thing price wise as you can now buy a brand new Terrain for less then $85. The Terrain has about as of hardware specs as any other ruggedized smartphone on the market currently, but at one third or a 1/4 of the cost. This makes this phone a huge attraction to anyone who is looking for a rugged waterproof phone on a budget and is why this guide is essential for users.
The NEC Terrain still has plenty of life left and this is why we need to come together and find solutions for it. Please feel free to post you success stories in rooting and flashing your terrain to this thread for the benefit of all. Hopefully, will be able to form a complete guide from all the information that get's posted here.
Thanks.

Thanks for the post and the links. It appreas that much of the information on these links are still a work in progress. Hopefully this work will continue and we can create a How To guide from this.
For those that may be interested. You can buy the NEC Terrain Unlock on Amazon for $79.99. Here is the link.

Well, I almost bricked it few days ago. :good:
I read a thread about a patch to unlock GSM in CDMA phones and saw there a code to enter some hidden menu. I entered that menu and messed a little with band settings (wanted to get LTE to work with my operator). Next thing I know Terrain stopped receiving any GSM signal and for next hour I tried to fix it. Factory reset got me 2G signal and that's all.
It turned out that the only way to fully fix it is to re-flash firmware or radio module and as we know that can't be done.
Well, this is not about unlocking or flashing, but it is a solution to another problem I and many other have been having with the predictive text bar blocking critical function keys from being accessed. The predictive txt bar is a function of the Adaptxt keyboard app and disabling it does remove that bar, but the keyboard also loses all special character function, upper case letters and numbers. After trying more then a dozen keyboard apps to replace adaptxt, I found one that works and brings back all keyboard functions without the stupid predictive text bar. It is called TouchPal.

Forgive me for this slight OT-posting, but it's not that easy to find people with this device - let alone an unlocked one. I'm located in Germany and the device runs just fine - except for the fact that Tethering does not work - neither USB nor WIFI. The PC can connect to the phone, however the connection in Windows 7 always is shown as being limited (no internet access), while internet on the phone works fine.
GMail - as well as some other functions of google also rarely sync and basically just do so on request, while they sync just fine when being connected to Wifi. And no, background data are not restricted in the settings.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

Is there any suggestions how to fix it?

Well actually I know that message as well. For me changing the APN helped. You could also try to restart the phone. I just remember I also had this problem sometimes. But like I said - even without that particular message I would not get tethering to work.
iDomino: Do you also experience the problem with syncing that I had?
That's funny, actually I haven't noticed syncing problems untill I read your posts. I myself have all the same problems that you mention.
Even more of that, Terrain has some silly feature that TURNS OFF WI-FI if it thinks that that hotspot has no internet connection. It is massively annoying and can drain all your data traffic. The only solution that I found is to install the app "Smart Wi-Fi Toggler", it constantly turns wi-fi on if terrain turns it off, but only in places where I turned wi-fi on myself (like home and work).
It's a pity the phone has so many flaws and due to its tight security and the locked down NEC mobile devision no one can do anything about it. I wonder if this just affects the users who use an unlocked phone outside the US or if people in the US have similar problems. I have tried contacting NEC about this - actually about providing us with some kind of unlock mechanism - but all I got was this:
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for inquiry.
We, however, regret to inform you that our phone is not available about your request.
If you have any issue, would you try to contact the company or shop where you have purchased this model, who might be of help to you.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Fujii /NEC"
By the way, I discovered a new bug: When Roaming the actually used Network-Provider is not shown and I also didn't find a way to choose one...
Do you also experience the problem with syncing that I had?

I had some sync problems and I don't know working methods to fix it.
First time I solved it this way:
turning off apps sync -> open Gmail app -> it will show notification offering to enable synchronization -> use it -> sync works.
But this solution worked just once. (
Other time sync turns on by itself after one day disabled.
P.S. My Nec reboots while connecting via USB to ubuntu laptop.
Battery life
Can someone tell me how your Terrains battery hold up charge? Because mine discharges completely in about 10 hours (without using phone at all). I think it's wakelock problem.

Does it crashes once or infinite loop begins? I had infinite loop problem while connecting NEC Terrain to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian or CentOS. Removing "ModemManager" package solved it.

My phone works about 25-30 hours (30 min. calls, 5-10 sms, 30 min. messaging, 2 hours e-mail, internet & other applications. No video/gaming/music at all).
Infinite loop. Removing "modemmanager" helps! Thank you! :laugh:
Also got spontaneous rebooting after installing FTP Client made by Zifero. :silly: Removing app solved the problem.
Dreaming about root and working wi-fi tethering.

Another Terrain user here!
Hi guys!
i am Kharl
i am another Nec Terrain user here!
due my lifestyle, i needed a phone which could gives me reliability and power under ANY circunstance, that could be done by any rugged phone, BUT i needed querty keyboard, fm radio, gps, gyroscope, accelerometer, loud speakers, that could work worldwide and touchscreen... the only one with those features was the Terrain... and with the extra, that it is amazingly cool, i dont know opther but i find this phone really cute, very sober and elegant design.
well, i live outside USA so, for me, to work it couldnt be locked to ATT, so i was able to get one unlocked.
my phone has almost all the problems you mentioned, althught i am still happy with it and i am not going to change it because its problems does nto interfere a lot with me, BUT of course id like to get those problems sovled.
trying to solve the problem i bough three of thes phones and all the three had the same problems
the first one was by mistake, locked to att, but it had the same problems, random restart and locked hotspot, i sold it, i got a second one, works with any sim, everything fines, but with the same problem, random restart and no hotspot, i bought a third one to see if the problem was with my particular phone... and n luck the same problems.
it has some other minors problems, like no stereo audio recording despite it has two mics and IT STATES IT CAN record in stereo, but thats not a problem, i can deal with that, and sometimes the people at the other side (while in a call) says my voice sounds like from within a box (lack of trebble or too much bass) and when i press the check too much to the phone boddy there is also clarity sound problem.... but thats ok....
regarding the two main problems
random reboot and hotspot
many of us suspect what the cause is
for the random reboot many could think it is a installe app which is causing it... NO, because it does it at factory state, to solve that i dotn think root is needed, there is a certain factory process that is causin to reboot, the reboot is VERY random, could doit threee times in a day or could happen only three times in a week, what i have notice is that it happe lessoften in cold weather.
the hotspot problem IT IS cause because att locked that function, even when the phone is ulocked, that part remain locked because ATT.
what about you guys?
u can try hard reset for begging
Hello everyone,
Let me submit here a problem that rots me life:I have a Xiaomi Mi4i and despite the updated 5.9.16, I have a problem with pop-up that appears every 30 seconds indicating the "Managed Roaming (Sub1) ....
sorry I'm not allowed to post a screenshot on this forum but you can see it folowing this link ( by replacing dashes by what is missing): h--p://w-w.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=168394Screenshot20150920200955.png
It is a message that tells you that your network operator you manually select from one of two sim cards is not captured and invites you to choose another manually or set to automatic mode.I'm forced to choose between cancel or ok to make disappear this message that highlights on the screen and causing interference on my running applications. Since I am in the border area, and that according to the side where I am of the border, there is always one of the two SIM cards no longer picks up the signal. I can not afford to let the sim cards in the automatic mode because roaming is too expensive and it's also the reason that made me choose this dual sim. Suddenly, the pop-up turns on the screen every 15 sercondes and it rots me, every time I pick up the phone I need to click cancel and it turns round. It annoys me so much that if I do not find a solution I'll have to buy another phone ... It's so stupid but I have no solution, I had the same problem with a MI2 2 years ago and I had to put it in a drawer ... I thought that since that time, problem had been resolved. But I can not be the one to meet this concern all the same! I tried everything without success.
I specify that I tried all possible versions miui and the problem is the same.
I think it is imperative that developers delete this message pop-up screen and simply leave the choice to seek a network from the notifications bar !!! I have a bottle thrown into the sea via the application "BUG" pending .. If someone has another solution waiting for the grace of an update includes a fix, I'd be eternally grateful to him ...
Please, can someone help me? I do not know what to do, this problem makes my phone unusable!
Yep, happens to me too. There are some weird bugs in MIUI.

Yes what a pity, I should have stayed on a standard model because Miui is for those who love having problems ....
This fuuccccck pop up....lost signal and then pop up simultaneous...how to delete forever this pop up
It's 2018 and the problem still here, but there's good news. I know it's an old thread, but this provides a possible solution. On Android 8, on the Available Networks screen, you can tap Choose Automatically and the problem stops, even if you are unable to connect to a network. Might also work for other android versions.
I have xiaomi a1 and still same problem.
If I put on automatic, phone will change to roaming network and I dont want that!
Im still on stock rom. If I take some custom rom will I have same problem.
Anybody know?????
For nearly a year we have not be able to upgrade our 1000+ Android devices operating with 4.1 Jellybean because the Bluetooth will not work properly. We recently discovered that this problem apparently began with Android version 4.2, coinciding with the change in the Bluetooth stack from BlueZ to Bluezoid. Here is the story: We use an Anoto digital pen with bluetooth and an app installed on an Android device (Kyocera Torque cell phone). After pairing the pen with the phone, individual transactions, written by the pen on paper are sent to the phone after a "send" box is checked. The phone then responds by activating its camera, pictures are taken then pen data and photos are sent to our server. This is the process which has been working flawlessly. The problem: After 4.1, the pen must be paired then the phone restarted. The "send" box must be checked twice before phone responds. After 8 sends, the process reverts to the correct process and remains until 20 total "sends" upon which the bluetooth function stops. The phone must be restarted. The pattern repeats. We have tested this on a variety of devices using Android 4.2 all the way to Marshmallow, all with the same results.
Please advise as to where we might to go or with whom we may consult to resolve this problem. Our engineer is very capable and is hoping we can find someone who can help us find a work-around or hack without having to re-install the BlueZ stack, which if it is possible is likely a very big project.

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster.
I have a sudden problem with my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 7.0). Hopefully you bright gentlemen and gentle-ladies can help me:
Approximately 1 week ago (edit: 3 weeks ago), my phone stopped transmitting Voice data on phone calls. I cannot hear what the other user says on their phone, and they cannot hear me, however, pressing number keys DOES transmit the dial-tone to the other user (both ways). It does not matter if I call them or if they call me. It does not matter where I am physically, I have tried in several locations around the city (likely on several towers). It does not matter if they are using a mobile or land-line. (Addendum: Hangouts dialer functions perfectly with the hardware, before and after factory reset(s), Bluetooth headset works with Hangouts but not regular Phone)
During this time, all of my data connections work fine. Texts, Email and Browsing is unaffected. Phone performance is normal.
Since this has occurred, I have:
- Simulated battery disconnect
- Wiped Cache Partition
- Force-stopped the Phone app (all three instances)
- Verified the physical Microphone is working using the Voice Recorder app (it works fine)
- Booted the phone in Safe Mode
- Contacted my service provider to check in there was any problems with my account or transmissions.
- Transferred my Sim card to another device to test if my card/connection was ok. (Voice worked 100% on the secondary device)
- And lastly today (two weeks ago); Completed a Factory Reset
(Addendum:
- Flashed stock firmware from Sammobile via Odin
- Attempted to clean out the Microphones with toothpicks and blunt metal objects, just to be sure
- Plugged in and removed a wired headset as well as checking for debris)
I am sitting here now trying to understand how a hardware problem could possibly cause a failure of Voice encoding on only one app, and how to fix it. Or how a software problem survived the Factory Reset (and Firmware flash) into the fresh install. I did indeed try without any 3rd party apps being installed, without even adding my Google or Samsung accounts to the phone, just plain old Android; no dice.
Any suggestions?
I recall one fixing another phone that had a problem with its Capacitive Touch Screen being not sensitive enough/not reading presses problem by accessing a special menu that allowed me to re-download the driver. Is there anything like that for the Voice? (Addendum - I have looked at all the star ** codes available for this model and tried several, nothing has worked so far)
Thanks!
Thoughts today (Oct 31/17): I am not sure that flashing a custom rom is really what may fix the phone. I am willing to do so, but it is somewhat frowned upon by Canadian carriers (or at least it used to be). I was curious if it was a problem with Noise Cancellation or an SD Card problem as those are issues brought up when googling the issue. My current plan is to flash to a stock Android 6.0.1 and see if the phone works then. If so, then try the standard upgrade path. Any suggestions will be helpful!
