apn/internet problems
 

for what ever reason i am unable to save an apn, i click save then it goes back to the menu and nothing is there. i know there is a way to sideload(?) a apn but no clue where to get the file or what code to use if any one could help that would rock

thanks

Re: apn/internet problems
 

You must ensure all the information is correct for your carrier - the APN configuration will be ignored if it's not valid.

Plus, you seem to be on a CDMA carrier, which technically doesn't use APN's at all. There's some configuration changes that are taking place, are you using any of the testing stuff or just FRX06 unchanged? I guess I'm also assuming you're using FRX06.

Re: apn/internet problems
 

yes using FRX06 downloaded it last night and i have the updated RIL no other changes..i know the CDMA dose not use APNs but it seems like there is no other way to get data working(i think have not beed keeping up) also it seems to be a mix of what is used for US Cellular

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Don't use the new RIL then. You can put APN's in all day long in fake GSM mode. There's some frameworks/base changes that need to take place before you will be able to properly setup an APN in CDMA mode.

drats i had it set up then redid a bunch of stuff i was likeing the a-gps and the much faster lock

Re: apn/internet problems
 

this had been discuss before, if you use CDMA, stock RIL, then MMC,MNC must be 310,995

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Much faster lock? What do you mean by that? I'm guessing you're talking about netloc.

netloc (aGPS) is nice, I do like that feature... You can pull the frameworks changes and make your own system image I guess. I did this, worked out pretty well.

What do you need to configure an APN for anyways? CDMA doesn't use them, although we'll be using them for MMS config when it's all done & integrated.

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Figured I would bump this, to point out highlandsun's fix. No need to compile, just push these files. What a nice guy!

Re: apn/internet problems
 

easy enough thanks for the help...kinda i a noob in linux will have my brother help XD

Update: okay so after doing that i still have no internet....and really no clue why now....ugh

when you say "push this" it should look like this right?

mount --bind /sdcard/andboot/sril/framework.jar /system/framework/framework.jar
mount --bind /sdcard/andboot/sril/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk.
mount --bind /sdcard/andboot/sril/libhtcgeneric-ril.so /lib/froyo/libhtcgeneric-ril.so

if not what do i need to do also before trying the new ril there was some thing under settings->wireless & networks->Mobile networks->Access Point Names
now i see nothing there and when i try to save a new one it dose not save it no errors it just dose not save and when i try to restore to default nothing happes

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Your mount commands look OK to me, but if they took effect, you should have that APN menu still. I.e., the APN menu is always enabled in this new Phone.apk.

If you're saying the menu is there but your settings disappear, that means you didn't follow all the instructions. You have to set your operator ID in the system properties. Go re-read the posts...

Re: apn/internet problems
 

okay i think i know where i messed up i will get back to you how things go for me

little lost there when you say "/system/build.prop" do i need to be running andorid to get to that file.

cant find that file

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Yea... you probably should just wait. If the forward slashes didn't give it away, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Re: apn/internet problems
 

/system/build.prop should mean root i am guessing sd card? most people from what i know use the andboot folder the problem is i dont have a folder called system on the root of my sd card the other peoblem is there is a step that says "Alternatively you can blow away your data.img and edit /system/build.prop" in order to use android you have to have a data.img. now if your talking about the system.ext2 file/filesystem that makes sence now the one thing i want to know is how should i get inside it from windows...or do i have to go to ubuntu? =) smarter than i seem. =P

Re: apn/internet problems
 

I'm not saying you're dumb, just that this stuff isn't easy and seemingly over your head.

/ would be the root within Android.... Windows uses backslashes for everything, hence /system/build.prop should've been a dead giveaway that it's a reference within Android...

Again, you might just want to wait until this stuff settles. No offense, but there's no point in you testing this stuff if you can't provide useful feedback.

Re: apn/internet problems
 

hmmm never noticed that windows and andoid (linix?) did not use the same slashes....
well i have to start leaning some time....most of the time i learn fast...one thing to ask how do i get to that file with out booting in to android...and please dont tell me what ubuntu is the only way.....

Re: apn/internet problems
 

Just wait until it's integrated into the build, it will be much easier to use then.

Re: apn/internet problems
 

aww but it sounds so much nicer....okay well any clue how much longer its going to talk? like a week or 2 or dose it seem much farther off?

Re: apn/internet problems
 

I'm not going to dignify this statement with a response, are you serious?

The testing stuff is for people who can provide feedback and pull logs. If you're not capable of understanding these concepts, than it does no body any good for me to hand-hold you thru the directions, because your feedback will inevitably be useless.

No offense, but that's how it goes. Why should I help you with something that's meant for testing...

Re: apn/internet problems
 

becouse i do under stand it but i has have a hard times when things are not clear with me...now knowing that the file is in the system.ext2 i will be able to do it my self and provide feedback for any problems i have......and yes i know its for testing but its also better than what we have right now and if i can set it up and have no problems then yaa for me...if not well its not hard to grab logs....
