Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

Well, ive tried for many days now with no avail

i have a cdma touch diamond on cellular south, EVERYTHING works great with Ecclair

EXCEPT i cannot establish a data connection watsoever, i have tried everythin, every build out there even

I need help, is this happeneing on other diam500s? is it to do with apn settings? a radio? or what?

any help will be GREATLY appreciated

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

Is Cellular South CDMA or GSM?
Have you tried calling your carrier and asking them for help with data?
You just need the appropriate server address the proper settings. I doubt it has much to do with Android.
Don't tell them you are running Android though. ;)

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

I believe he already stated it was cdma... do you have any prl update, provision settings or update data profile? I know on sprint that would probably fix it... and could send you the cab but doubt it would work since its not for your carrier...I am unfamiliar with cellular south...sounds like mom and pop wireless. if you flash back to stock and hard reset do you have data? have you asked your wireless provider if there is some type of soc code on your account by mistake or did you have data and then lose it all of the sudden?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

I was thinking...You could flash the shipped cellular south rom and let customizations run and let it boot. Then you could do your Android install.
Or you could navigate to your connection settings (after you let customizations run) and copy down the provisioning settings. Then install Android and then enter provisioning. :dontknow:

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

isnt that what i said?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

Not really. What you suggested sounded like a suggestion to just use the stock/shipped rom. That would be fine if he was wanting to run WinMo but he is trying to run Android. Obviously, if he just wanted to run WinMo then he could just flash to stock and data would/should work. I was just trying to help him get data working on the Android OS.
Are you looking for an argument?! :scratch:

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

when I tested it on my diamond data did work I used the android from the fearless rom package in the upgrade cdma diamond section in this forum. he has it made up for our phones I think it was 2/16 date build I used last
and yes make sure internet works in winmo

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

ok thank yall for all of the replies

so i shud try flashing my stock rom, then go to android?

do i need a diff radio? or stock?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

If you flash the shipped/stock rom then it will include the stock radio for your carrier. That's what I would start with for now. ;)

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

ok i am really about to give up here

i restored everythin to stock AND relocked

i put an android build that previously worked now halfway through the boot it says
cant access tty, job control turned off

and goes no where after that

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

lol no i just was confused...thought i had pretty much said to flash stock but i get what you r saying. if he flashes stock he could copy the radio registry and prl to the android rom though couldnt he?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

i think any time you flash stock you have to reunlock before you can flash again...or is that what you did?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

ok well good news is that i got the boot problem settled...

but i stil have no working data

i am using the 2/17 build and i have the stock rom loaded, and even relocked,

i did the whole apn trick but it didnt work

any more ideas guys? am i the only one with this problem?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

to get working data under android you need to create an apn with the name "Internet" and APN "Android" both without quotes of course

Have you tried contacting someone from your carrier?
If you are paying for a data plan they are required to help you get it working.
I would do some searching on google if I were you to try to find other users that have your carrier.
You could always setup everything manually using QPST but that can be dangerous and I would only do that as a last resort. Give your carrier tech support a call.

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

thanks again for the help guys

and yes u do hav to unlock before flashing another rom,

i have already created that apn with that name and address, stil no luck there

i am actually very familiar with qpst, what information do i need? jus everything that will fill the blanks on the apn settings?

if i do call the carrier, what do i ask?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

Did you add a new APN while in Android? If nt then add an APN under Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks/APN. press the "Home" button to access the settings. Add a new APN with the "Name" as Android and "APN" as internet. Soft reset and it should work for you now.

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

Yes i have tried that already but it jus does nothing, says it has a connection but does not i really need some sort of help here

would loading the fearless rom help any?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

i'm in the same situation, i don't think it's anything you're doing wrong. i have a diam500 on metropcs and can't get data either. does your carrier need a proxy? that seems to be the common denominator for us who can't get data working on android 2.0.1. it looks like some users who couldn't get data working on 2.0.1 have gotten to work with 2.1, but it was unusably slow on my diam500. hopefully whatever they did for 2.1 can be worked on for 2.0.1.

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

one more thing, right after the boot says A N D R O I D, before the splash, it displays a message that says something about disabling modem, is this relevant?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

well any data connection woulld be better than none, how did u get urs to work at all?

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

ok well i guess ill try 2.1 then where is the best build for that, i can only find one...

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

actually i couldn't even get phone service on 2.1, and it was too slow for me to even try anything.

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

all xdandroid builds are 2.1 tho, or at least say tht in about phone

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

As everyone mentioned you need an APN "Internet" named "Android." But that should no longer be true of the latest rootfs builds and that is probably not your problem. ANYWAY, the *real* point is that you make sure your MCC & MNC are correct under Settings->Wireless & Network->Android (or 'CMDA generic', or whatever your APN is titled) and set your MCC & MNC appropriate to your carrier, if they are not. Quick google suggests: 311 & 230 or 310 & 080 might work for you.

If you're having issues, I highly suggests you pick up the latest kernel and rootfs, I fixed the double-tap in the kernel driver saturday but bzo came up with a cleaner solution that has been merged. MrPippy has changed some of the radio code (mostly for performance) and all sorts of things are changing. Sometimes better, sometimes not...

Latest kernel autobuild:
http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

(NOTE, if you've been using MrPippy's kernels you will want to add "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" into the cmdline of your Haret.exe startup.txt)

Latest rootfs:
http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootfs/

My best of luck has been with the XDAndroid 3/1 release (2.0.1), there is still a lot that needs to be fixed for Donut (1.6) but we're working on it. 2.1 is pretty slow and maybe not destined to run smooth on our devices. I find 1.6 is screaming, but the bluetooth (hciattach) segfaults, and there are some (out of) memory issues and library incompatibilities since all the dev has been on eclair/2.0.1 for a while. We'll get there =)

Let me know if the MCC & MNC did the trick, and remember, a lot of the guys doing the hard work and with the expertise are on #htc-linux on FreeNode. The discussion is usually around porting android/linux, but they help people out with bugs like yours a lot, so drop by if you're still stuck. Good luck!

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
 

hi lance. the latest xdandroid is eclair 2.0.1 although there is an 2.1 espresso that is brewing, and there was a donut 1.6 release before.

if you are still having trouble, see my posts in this thread:

i think they may help you more than the post i wrote above. cheers!

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500

Re: Data problems with Android on Diam500
