Spica on 2.1

[rwZephyr]

So I finally updated my spica to 2.1 following this guide, but now I'm not getting ANY mobile data. No edge, no 3G. Only WiFi. I'm in Canada on Rogers... any help?

you need to add apn settings to you provider

Found it, works great. Thanks!

As you're a Rogers Canada user, can you say where you got your 2.1 update from?

Did you have to do anything after updating to get your phone working on Rogers?

The reason I ask is to help other Roger users, so that they don't get Roger'd if they want to go down the same route.

Whichever version was in that link I posted, after that I just had to add the APN settings and I was golden

Well that makes what? Four? Five of you guys who've managed that.

I'm wondering if I should try it, "insurance" program or not. I only paid $50 for it (to be returned if I didn't need to replace my phone) so it wouldn't be a huge loss.

Maybe I'll wait until June or so. Since that's supposed to be (ha ha?) when the official version comes out. Next phone I'm doing research on first....

Wait a second, the link you referred to uses I570EDDJB2 firmware which is for a 2.1 update for Asia users from Feburary this year.

And you're a Canadian Rogers user? Man you must have been inches away from bricking your phone, or at least making it totaly unusable.

Yeah, It locked up on me a few times, especially with the OPS file that came with that guide, I found another ops file on some Russian guide and it worked like a charm, I've done it twice now. Once on my phone and once on my coworkers and both work great, albeit a little laggy

VERY Interesting..

Given you like to live dangerously, how about and by way of an experiment, you update to my version. (UK/Euro). You might have to update the APN settings for Roger, but you get a later, more stable and faster version.

For the risk.

See my Siggy. Includes all files including the right OPS file.

And if it doesn't work, you can always revert to the version you downloaded and have now.

I'm stuck here until 9 so why not, lets giver shit. Will I lose any data on the phone? I started from fresh when I first did it. Also any info on how to get live wallpapers? 3D gallery and other awesome 2.1 goodies?

 

[rwZephyr]

Update completed, MUCH faster. Thank you a lot! Was relatively painless, just had to add the APN and I was perfect!

 

[Beerkan]

So can you confirm that WiFi, GPS, GPRS, MMS, SMS, Google sync ALL work ok?

 

[shewless]

rwZehar: could you please post the rogers APN?
Beerkan: I don't see your signature - but I wouldn't mind possibly trying out your firmware.

Thank you

You can view and edit your own APN settings:-
(might be a little different on 1.5)

Home Menu
Settings
Wireless & Network Settings
Mobile Networks
Access Point Names
Your Provider


From here you can see and Edit APN settings.

**Be aware messing around in here could FUBAR your services.**

Found this..

Rogers APN Configuration for Android Phones

Wifi is perfect, Whenever I go to Google maps and try the GPS it says your current location is unavailable, SMS is perfect, but I haven't been able to receive a MMS yet.. Which PERSONALLY isnt a big deal lol

Thanks! I guess I can record how my current APN settings are configured.

Dunno why I can't see your signature... I am logged in.. weird..

THanks again.

I can only see his Siggy on one post, and I can't see my own even.

I had a bit of trouble with MMS at first, when I got my phone. But after speaking to my provider, they said I have to SEND one first, before being able to receive one.
Also, most providers can send you a SMS that updates your settings. You just need to ask them to send it, usually from their website, or via their dial-up support line from your mobile.

(And I can see my siggy below)

Okay, sent one to my X10, received it, sent one back, works perfect. So MMS is a go.

 

[shewless]

any thoughts on the GPS not working? Seems odd that would be acting up... I wonder if it's disabled in the settings or something?

 

[shewless]

also - is there a way to use odin to backup current firmware? I have a rogers i5700 and I would like to be able to restore my 1.5 firmware in case there are any problems.

Thank You

I've tried 6 different firmwares, they all freeze on <1> setup connection...

I'm told its a driver issue, and yet USB modem and Samsung composite device both appear in device manager so i'm assuming drivers are installed.
