Sorry, what do you mean?

The one in menu settings

Whoaa, finally got it. Took only 4 hours or so

The correct way of adding them was from settings>cellular+sim "add mms apn". For me the settings>apn "add apn" wouldnt just work for the mms.

handy tip, still cant get the MMS apn settings to work on virgin uk but its at least got rid of the dodgy apn settings app


whats odd is that I can get emoicons to work fine and multipart txt messages (which wont work without any MMS apn settings) but doesn't send pictures...


confused!

I've tested this rom for a week. It's ran fine but I found some failures in the rom.

The first one, every time you reboot the phone always the mp3 that I've selected as ringtone change to the default one.

The second one, the mobile network is always on 3g. I try to change to 2g but the network is always on 3g. With other roms this doesn't happen.

Maybe in the next version of this rom that failures could be fix.

1) This bug appeared in GDR3. MBN may be applied on every boot, not only first one.
2) To switch to 2G you need to be on 3G at this moment. If your phone shows "E" or "G" and you switch to 2G nothing will happen.

Hi @marass82 ,
I don't understand what file I should flash in the phone because I don't understand if I'm still in preview for dev or if I have the normal WP 8.1.
The same problem for the firmware. I think mine isn't the final Samsung one. Am I right?
What procedure of yours should I follow and what files should I flash?
I would like to use the latest version of your rom cause I've used it for a long time and liked it very much. I think it's the best Ativ s' ROM until now.
Thanks in advantage.
I attach a pic of my settings.

 

[marass82]

Old custom has blocked firmware updates Samsung.
You have to upload new custom.

 

[wongjam]

Many thanks to @marass82.

Perfect! I succeed!

Guys in the other post I read that with the latest firmware, smd doesn't recognize the phone. I seem to have figured out that older drivers don't work anymore. And with the latest bootloader changed the dowland mode.. Or something like that. I've been confirmed?

 

[marass82]

Use the latest SMD 3.47, everything works.

 

[BlackSilverGT]

Ok.. And the download mode? I read that they changed something in the bootloader and the old sequence does not work anymore.. Could you explain better? Thanks

 

[marass82]

Everything works the same way, SMD 3.47 + updated drivers

Sorry, ... last question How do I know which version to flash (dni3 or dni4) I have tried with diagnosis but doesn't tell me anything ... Thanks again
