ao i thunk i screwed up

i rooted the captivate and used superuser and root uninstaller to uninstall kobo app from my rogers captivate.
since it is the first time i used it i didnt know how to and screwed up. i pressed something and it went on to a screen which i never seen before obviously, that said a name of an app. and under grant acces, backup apk and uninstall.
i tried pressing the back button it didn't do nothing, i pressed grant access and it said access granted. then i pressed uninstall. only to realize to late that i should have pressed backup apk! DOH! big time!
the only thing i saw just before it erased is that it said something like preconfig.
and now not sure if i uninstalled something needed by the phone.
later checked the phone and all seemed to work well.
today i started getting calls going direct to voice mail till i restarted the phone, and also had sending failed when sending texts.
the only other thing i did was add a data plan today 2 days later and that is truthfully when the problems started, but i do not see how that can affect.
i did have to input a new apn for it.
please tell me if i am wrong and either data addition or new apn could somehow cause this. and if i did unistall something needed, how do i get it back now?!
thansk in advance for any assistance with this issue.

I would double check the apn settings you changed
CM7

Before anyone can help you, we need more info. Are you running 2.1 or upgraded 2.2? I am assuming 2.2 because Aldiko is the reader with 2.1, Kobo is in the 2.2 version.
Are calls still going to voicemail? You said they did until you restarted, are you now able to receive voice calls?
Outgoing texts: still unable to send? Or was that resolved with the restart? What about incoming texts?

What problems are you referring to? The two issues you spoke of or are there others? What apn did you have to add?
This information will be helpful to give you assistance.

if you cant tell us what you deleted because you went click happy without reading what you are clicking, you are going to have to FLASH BACK TO STOCK, like i told you last night!
APN settings for rogers are also in my stock rom link in my sig.
at least last night you posted properly in Q&A

Where are you located? There seems to be a rogers outage in south central Ontario right now. I haven't had service for 3 hours.

First of all sorry! i am very new to Xda and after posting went to look for my thread but couldn't find it!
Thanks for helping last night and tonight.
it was neither at the end! i added data as i said and put in the info. and started using it. the issue was the 3G. it seems to be very sporadic. it is actually a Rogers captivate unlocked to use on Fido with lagfix v2+ running Froyo.
after a little while i remembered how my friend with an SE x8 had an issue with rf till idisabled 3G, and my other fried had same issue with Iphon 3GS. so i disabled 3G and voila! i guess i will turn on 3G only when i need it.
i thought by now 3G would be implemented good enough for this not to happen any more..
WEll thanks again to everybody here and sorry for not giving enough info.

[APN config] Beta testers wanted for new APN configuration procedure

Hello everyone,
This thread is for those of you who have manually edited their APNs to increase data speeds. In my APN thread, every once in a while I see a complaint where the user says the "Phone" APN (which is the 2nd APN) will not stay selected. Historically I've been telling people to reboot their phone and try again, or try adding a 3rd APN (for some reason when a 3rd APN is entered, the 2nd one will usually stick). I have seen this problem myself. There may be a more elegant and effective way to prevent this issue, which is what this new thread is all about.
I took another look at the default APN config in the stock updated ROM (the OTA HSUPA update that came out at the end of April), and noticed that the "Phone" APN (which is the APN that provides the faster speeds in some markets) is listed first. As most of you already know, this APN is missing from all custom DHD/Inspire ROMs, which is what prompted this procedure in the first place. For simplicity, my APN procedure (up until now) has been telling people to just add the "Phone" APN as the 2nd one. Speed wise, it doesn't matter which order the APNs are in, just as long as the "Phone" APN is selected and stays selected, but some people have trouble with the selection reverting back to the 1st (slow) APN, sometimes later on without their knowledge. In this new procedure that is listed below, it tells how to delete all your APNs so you can start from scratch, and then add the fast "Phone" APN first, to ensure it will always be selected since it is listed first. The 2nd APN is merely for MMS. This APN layout is the same as the stock ROM.
This procedure "should" work on all ROMs, but that's why I'm asking for beta testers to see what problems arise. I want to get some feedback before officially updating my APN thread in the dev section. Anyone that performs this beta procedure and provides feedback, I will click on their "thanks" button.
Standard warnings apply: make a nandroid backup before making this change, etc. Messing with your APNs is messing with your data connection, but everyone should know that already.
Step 1. Delete all APNs:
Press Menu button --> Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
Press the left side of your 1st APN to go into the settings of this APN, then press Menu>>Delete APN.
Repeat this process for any other APNs you have. The goal is to delete all APNs so we can start from scratch.
Now do the next steps in the same order as below:
Step 2. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings, everything is case sensitive. This will be your 1st APN:
Name: MEdiaNet
APN: Phone
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: default,admin (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save. You will now be back at the initial APN screen.
Step 3. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings. This will be your 2nd APN:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cinguar.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: mms,supl (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save.
You will now be back at the initial APN screen again. Make sure the 1st APN (named MEdiaNet) is selected (via the round radio button on the right side). Your data connection will drop for a few seconds.
We're done. Let me know if you have any problems. If for some reason you notice your speeds are slower or faster, this is due to the normal wide variance in AT&T network speeds. If you were already using the custom APN config, there is absolutely no reason why this APN config would slow you down or speed you up; all we're doing is changing the order of them.
If you need to revert back to your default APN config, from the APN selection screen just press menu and select "Reset to default". Or worst case scenario, simply restore your nandroid backup.
Confirmed working: Virtuous Unity, CM7, NINJA-0706, HoneyGen

If you posted this yesterday, I would've been first in line to experiment. But I've finally stabilized my data speeds after countless days & hours of tweaking (using your methods, and others I've found around here).
Have you ever experimented with [email protected] (as opposed to [email protected])? This has given me better speeds, both when I was stock and on a custom ROM.
EDIT: I've read through your entire thread and don't remember if someone else had the same problem or not. When using the two APNs method, my connection would drop temporarily (always reconnected within a few seconds though) sometimes. Is this something you've seen happen?

Ill give this a shot! Always helping people out

No worries. As the old saying goes, "don't fix what ain't broke". Especially if the road to stability was a long one.

I just tried it and saw no difference. In theory, this shouldn't affect anything speed wise, since this username is only located in the APN used for MMS (when using the dual APN config). Maybe you've been experiencing the normal crazy AT&T speed inconsistencies, and it was just a coincidence that your speeds were faster when using the alternate username? Just a thought.

Personally I've never seen this issue. My phone doesn't normally drop its connection, regardless whether I'm on 1 or 2 APNs (unless I'm in a very low signal area of course). Sounds like your ROM didn't like having its APNs messed with, or something else was going on. Hard to tell.
Thanks for your feedback BTW.

@XAviierG, bcd420, biglittlegato - thanks guys!!!
biglittlegato, if you're willing to test on multiple ROMs then go for it! I won't stop you. I'll thank you every chance I get.

Rockin the new settings now. Will try mms next. Coverage is spotty here, will know more once I get her back home.
Edit: mms works. So far data is much slower. Will try next to the good tower after work.

Cool, thanks for the update. This new APN layout definitely shouldn't cause any slowdowns, so you were probably just experiencing some slowness in your area.

Where I work I bounce from 0-4 bars of EDGE to 0-2 bars of HSPA while sitting still. There is a tower in town where I typically get 3 to 4 mbps down and have seen as high as 5.5 down. My typical uploads are 1 to 1.5 mbps. Since the APN change I am getting 500 kbps down with 150 kbps up. I'm sitting about 3 miles from the good tower. I'll report back after I run some tests closer to the good tower. I figure I'll run this setup for a couple of days and then try again with a different rom.

I just installed ClearDroid 1.1.4 and I don't think this is going to work. The first APN is locked (wap.cingular) and there is no way to delete it. Nothing happens when you press menu, just the keyboard from a long press of it.

Yeah I forgot that some ROMs have a locked APN, so this procedure will only work on the less restrictive ROMs. Thanks for checking though.

[Q] wifi tether not working

Wifi tether not working, is anybody else having problems

I take it you've rooted and disabled the entitlement check, right? If that's all you did, it should work just fine. I did it within 5 mins of buying my A2.

this is true others have reported it not working something to with the dhcp server but i have had no issues at all with mine it connects transfers data and doles out 192.168 adresses

I wanted to download the Wireless tether for Root Users app but in the marketplace, I see a message saying "This item is not available on your carrier". My carrier is AT&T. I looked at a couple more wifi tether apps and I see the same message instead of a Download button. Is there any other way I can setup tethering?

Disable entitlement didn't work for me, but im on gophone and not postpaid.
EDIT: I was wrong I did have to disable entitlement, apparently the first APN I used to enable data was incorrect to also have tethering. So for gophone entitlement still needs to be disabled but use the APN below.
I found this out after a factory reset and apparently I must not have saved the entry in the entitlement box the first time around. Talk about a noob-like mistake! BUT gophoners still need the APN below:
All I did is create a new apn with the following data:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: 80
Username: [email protected] *must be all caps
Password: CINGULAR1 *must be all caps
Server: wireless.cingular.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentecation Type: leave blank
APN Type: Leave Blank
APN Protocol: IPv4
Make sure you put the tick in this APN after you create so it uses it instead of the default, I don't know if this will affect 4G.
For the lapdock to allow mobile network connectivity, turn you mobile hotspot on before connecting your phone to the dock. You will get the dialog box saying you need wifi or an alternate plan, but firefox will now run without adding tethering.
Note we do not have 4g where I live and I do not have a postpaid account. When I got my Atrix 2 and put my sim in I had no data and had to make an APN to make data work at all. While trying to make my lapdock 100 work on the mobile network, I ended up using these settings to do it. The entitlement disable method did not work for me, since my prepay is not provisioned for the same as the post paid accounts.
If nothing else this will show some prepay folks how to enable tethering.

Solution: Prepaid APN change after ICS upgrand

(MODs: Please excuse if this is in the wrong place. I am currently only working with the Atrix 2 after ICS so I didn't want to push this on anyone else with other devices unless someone could confirm this works across all ICS ATT prepaid devices)
This is for those who would like to use their Atrix 2 ICS (probably any other ICS device) on AT&T prepaid (Pay as You Go) service.
I was using a 3G Moto Bravo for years with the $50/month unlimited talk/text prepaid plan with $25 data plan.
After purchasing the Atrix 2 and upgrading to OTA 2.3.6, I was informed by ATT cust. care that "4G Devices will never be compatable with prepaid service."
I used APN Backup and Restore, to backup and delete all APNs and added the APN below for flawless 3G ONLY data and MMS.
After upgrading to the ICS leak, I found out ther ICS will not allow APNs to be edited by 3rd party apps, and the user still cannot remove the stock APNs, even if rooted.
SOLUTION (REQUIRES ROOT):
1.Purchase Root Explorer from the Play Store.(there may be free solutions to view/edit .db files. let me know so I can update this)
2. Make a backup of: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
3.Purchase SQLite Editor from the Play Store
4. Remove all 'records' from: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. Go home -> Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> New APN
6. Enter these settings for your new (only) APN:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username and password are blank
Server: Not Set
Mmsc:h t t p : / / m m s c . c i n g u l a r . c o m (remove spaces)
Mms proxy: w i r e l e s s . c i n g u l a r . c o m (remove spaces)
Mms port: 80
Mcc: 310
Mnc: 410
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default
(please note that "Not Set" means that you do not put any data in this field.)
This may require a phone restart in order to work, but you should at least be able to access 3G data over a prepaid account. NOTE: You must have any data package for this to work. The "unlimited data" that is included in the plan does not apply to smartphones.
This is my first post, so I apologize in advance if I have broken any forum rules. I simply could not find a solution to my problem anywhere in internet land, and I wanted to prevent others from spending the 6 hours I did to get this working, or being totally disappointed to learn their new 4G device will "never be capable of running on prepaid networks". This is a lie ATT uses to make money. I would be happy to edit the post to clarify or help anyone who would like more details.

Thanks for the post!

I wish it would have been that easy. That was the first thing that I tried. (Many different ways and combinations)
I have some similar issues with customers whenever I worked for an AT&T authorized reseller, but non android devices.
However, in this case, either the network lock or some other policy in Android prevents the removal of the existing APN,s and upon entering a new APN and rebooting, the APN would disappear.
I would not have gone through a half a day's work to get this functioning properly if it would have been that easy. I'm not 100 percent sure exactly what is going on but I will give my best under standing of the situation. I was using an AT&T branded stock Atrix 2. I have been using my AT&T prepaid SIM card in a 3G device. Upon moving to AT&T SIM card to the Atrix 2, it automatically loaded 3 APNs from the Android telephony database. Those 3 have the lock symbol next to them and could not be edited or deleted, nor would a new manually entered APN stay after a reboot. when I was on Gingerbread I was able to use APN backup and restore to delete all records in the database, and only then did it allow me to add a new 1 by using the "add new" button.
. My experience with using another Gsm provider similar to straight talk, was that whenever I insert a SIM card I noticed that there were no APNs in the device by default for that network. This meant that I was allowed to add a new APN with no problem.
So, depending on if your device is branded by a particular carrier and or if android has existing APNs in its database for the service provider you are using you may have not had any trouble at all.
The conclusion I'm coming to is that you can normally just add a new APN unless there is a conflict such as the AT&T modern vs legacy access point names.
I only hope that this post will not get in anyone's way, and possibly might prevent someone hours of misery or giving up.

Ohhhh okay. I see what you're saying now. Gotcha
Sent from my MB865 using XDA Premium HD app

I've had my wife's Atrix 2 (on ICS leak, of course) on H2O and Net10, and both times all I had to do was add the APN normally. The APN should be att.mvno though, and get rid of the mms proxy and port, those can actually make MMS *not* work. Just make sure you name it something other than ATT or any of the listed APNs.

APN issue
How do I remove the following:
Remove all 'records' from: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
I was able to fine the above path using root explorer, but when I run SQLite Editor I am not able to see above file that you asking to remove.

Thank you

i deleted all entries, and the pre locked AT&T APNs are now gone, but there are no options to add any new APNs.
Is there a way to add an APN manually or restore the option to add an APN?

Did you try editing the apn.conf in /system/etc ?
You should be able to add/remove any apn you like, once you're done go to mobile network settings > access point names then hit the menu button and reset to default. That should load the apns from your apn.conf file and hopefully you'll be good to go.

Great seems to have worked one way or another. Thanks! I managed to add a new APN (straight talk) and data seemed to work for a few minutes, but after powering down and powering up, data has once again cutoff and will not come back on.
The 4G symbol is there but it won't turn blue or show any data transmission. I've tried a factory reset and add/delete the APN that worked, but still can't seem to get the data to go up or down anymore. Calls and regular SMS still work.
Pretty sad over that tease after days of banging m head against the wall...:crying:

Are your apns still set to what they should be? Have you tried turning of your wifi and sending yourself a mms msg? That's usually the best way to test whether apns are working or not.

Yeah, the APNs are the correct APNs. MMS won't send or receive. I actually unlocked the phone and played with the settings and that seemed to fix things. I though the phone had somehow relocked itself, but other carrier SIMs seem to work in the phone now.
The display is showing 4G access but there is no data transmission. Even after deleting the APNs the 4G symbol does not disappear and readding it has no affect.
It was working for a bit just yesterday, but I cant seem to get the phone to transmit any data up or down since then.

What settings did you mess around with? Also, a straight to the point solution would be to call the provider and get the proper apn settings (if you haven't already). If your 4G is lit up, but you can't push or pull data, then you might have an auth value wrong, or a proxy wrong, etc. If you haven't already, call and get the apns straight from the source.

Tether Bypass for Non Rooter HTC One S

I was wondering if there is any Tether bypass for a non-rooted HTC One S on T-Mobile's Monthly 4G. The User Agent trick did not work for me. Also, because of the update I do not have the ability to switch Access Point Names (when I switch names it switches right back).
I am bummed that I could not get these tricks to work because my internet unexpectedly went out yesterday and I really needed access to the web. I had to use an unsecured choppy signal the whole night.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
I don't know if I want to root the phone because I may just sell it and get the Nexus 4 if it gets good reviews.

FoxFi, but if your on 4.04 the data will stop streaming when the screen shuts off, if your still on 4.03 then your golden.

FoxFi not Working
Unfortunately I cannot get FoxFi to work. When I connect to the network on my laptop it will not load any pages. It looks like it tries to load the page and FoxFi says it is sending and receiving bytes, but my laptop's browser gives up after about 10 seconds and give me a "page could not be loaded" error. I have the Windows 8 beta installed, would this affect whether or not FoxFi would work?

When I used my laptop I would get a DNS error When connecting to foxfis WiFi. However I just tried to access foxfis network on my old Samsung sidekick and it worked like a charm. Any ideas on what I need to do in order to connect to foxfis WiFi on my pc?

Unfortunately Foxfi is an app that T-Mobile is aware of, they will cut it tether and redirect you to the hotspot website

This was not my experience. On my Windows 8 PC I was given a DNS Error when trying to load pages using FoxFi's wifi. This is the same result I get when I try using my phone's built in Wifi Hotspot feature. It does not redirect me to the T-Mobile site.
When I used FoxFi's wifi on my old Samsung Sidekick it let me browse the web with ease.
The only time I get the T-Mobile redirect is when I try to use my HTC One S'es USB Tethering Feature connected to my lap top.
When I use FoxFi or the HTC One S'es built in Hotspot feature I get a DNS Errror.

try this. it worked for me when i wasnt rooted.

Great settings I have also used in the past.
The problem though is with the new version the software of the phone automatically changes it back to the other on.

Yeah ur right. I went back to the stock rom and tried it. It did switch back almost right away. That sucks. Well sorry about that. That's the only way I know of doing it lol

What about tethering with rooting and stock rom?
So it sounds like we are pretty toast for methods of tethering without rooting... I've been lurking on these forums for a while looking. The FoxFi method seems to work sometimes, my personal experience is that the screen needs to be always on or there needs to be a constant data pull, which is a bit inconvenient.
I pretty much have given up finding a nice way to tether without root on the latest OTA update (4.0.4, yes I really regret updating now, the APN method listed above worked like a charm before this).
That said, how do I tether if I do want to root but I don't want to change the stock rom because I want future OTA updates (crossing my fingers for 4.1 soon). Can I root and use something like Barnacle? Does rooting free up a way to change the APN without it switching back?

Rooted or unrooted it winds up the same, data stops as soon as the screen goes off unless your using t-mobiles built in hotspot. I found a way to browse the web even when the screen goes off, but you cant stream netflix or download from the market, but use opengarden, you need it on both devices, the one with the tree. It creates a mesh network.
Now if your going to stream something with constant data pull you can use the regular tethering apps (foxfi, wifi tether) and it will continue to work even when the screen goes off, as soon as the data is stopped being pulled you'll have to turn your phones screen back on for the tethering to work, so there is a workaround, it's just a 2 step process depending on what your doing.
