This app messed up my phone

So i tried this app called easy battery saver as an alternative to juice defender, and as soon as i enabled it, the app nuked my data connection. I've tried disabling it and uninstalling it but nothing works.

My Droid Charge/Verizon also had data connection nuked by "easy battery saver" app. There are quite a few postings on various forums of other unfortunates, mostly Droid Charge, but a few LG.
My phone isn't rooted and I don't know how to flash the modem.
Is there anything simpler that can be done? I would prefer not to have to factory reset as the backup apps don't save app settings etc. on non-rooted phones.
Help anyone?

A factory reset brought my data back, so i took the opportunity to install tweakstock. I guess it was a plus in the end.
I think we should all report the app for causing such damage to the phone with no warning whatsoever and no solution. It must suck to have to reset a stock phone.

Expecting that I need to do a factory I bought MyBackup Pro and did a full backup but it seems that without root access the app settings are not saved. Since I didn't relish having to do rooting or factory reset I thought I would give the app developers a chance to do the right thing.
The response has been a series of generic emails pointing me at a new version of the app that do not fix my problem. I am guessing that it simply copies the (dysfunctional) APN it finds on first launch then its reset function simply writes this still dysfunctional setting back. Can't they just provide a simple appto write the correct Verizon APN?
I am not generally a ranting type but it is frustrating that there is no further recourse than just to advertise the serious bug and poor response to this forum. I posted a query also on Charge Forums, is there another good place to post a warning? Or am I just wasting my time?
Oh, and naturally my iPhone friends say "I told you so" just to rub salt in the wound!

I would have preferred it if they outright blacklisted the charge from downloading the app, as well as any phone it also breaks.

Pretty sure its broken my data too, it keeps jumping on and off all day. Will check with my operator that there aren't issues in my area but it was fine over the weekend.

Dug this up from a different forum. Works for sure.
1) Install app called "any cut" on wifi, it allows you to create any shortcut.
2) In the app go to new shortcut > activities> APNs
3) Create shortcut to access APNs (I guess default APN manager) and restore settings. Voila!

MMS Fix for Epic 4G Running ICS

Hi everybody,
We all know that ICS has made it a bit difficult to edit your APN(s). We also know that some of us have been having issues getting MMS to work when we install ICS on our Epics.
Luckily after a lot of research and a little tinkering I found a great fix that worked right away. I took the APN Settings from an Epic Touch 4g.
1. Within you Epic open your Voice Dialer App.
2. When prompted say "Open APNs".
3. Another pop up will appear, tap on the OPEN APNs message that pops up.
4. The next screen will show one single APN called Sprint tap on it.
5. On the next screen you will see the list of settings for the specific APN. Below are the list of settings that finally got my MMS working.
a. Username: Sprint
b. MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
c. MMS Port: 80
**ALL OTHER SETTINGS STAY THE SAME**
6. Once completed tap the menu button and tap save.
7. Reboot for good luck.
Steps 1-3 will also work for Epic owners trying to edit APN settings to use on another carrier.
Hope the info helps!

Is this more for wifi or 3g. Cause I know I have trouble sometimes. I followed your thing. Guess I'll see how it goes. Cause I don't remember when I have had mms fail for testing.

Interesting. I just noticed this today when I couldn't see an mms in an otherwise awesome CM9 RC1.
I just installed HandcentSMS and that worked, but I prefer not having the extra apps. I'll try this over the weekend.

I believe it only applies to 3G since the APLs are only used as network identifiers by mobile devices.

Interesting. Where did you find the info?

The first three steps were from another post i found through a Google search (Dont ask, i unfortunately dont remember). Once i found out how to access the APL in ICS it was just of matter of finding the APL info for another Sprint phone (in this case a Galaxy II) and entering that info in my Epic's APL.

this was one of the main reasons i installed TPR, may have to switch back to ICS, if this fixes the MMS issues!

Very interesting. Now I need to receive an mms to test.
One thing I noticed was after following all steps, a lot of other information was populated in the Sprint settings when I went back to look.

Wanted to give out a BIG thanks for this fix
I installed CM9, RC1, and had issues sending MMS. Was unsure if it was the towers in San Diego, as I was just visiting,or the phone, but as I has some extra time, I went so far as to do a full wipe and reload of CM9 RC1. Still, over several days, was unable to get a MMS to send 9 out of 10 times, no matter what I tried, while plain text messages went right away.
I rebooted my phone, tried sending a MMS, and it stuck on sending. Gave it 15-20, and even rebooted. Still stuck at sending. I deleted the message, made this fix, rebooted, and tried to send a MMS again, and the MMS sent right away

huge thanks for this! works like magic.

I ask because I posted this in the rc1 thread about 4 hours before this one.

I too can confirm that this works to solve the MMS issues on WIFI. However, be careful; when I rebooted after applying the fix, my phone tried resending all of my past MMS messages. It really bogged my phone down, and I had to delete them in order to stop it from happening.

Works like a champ

Fix works great on AOKP Build 40 :good:

Would this fix work on a phone flashed to Boost Mobile?, the MMS issues is one of the few major things keeping me off anything CM9 related...

Verizon Roaming?

Ok so I just got this phone from Verizon and I did not now that the service would suck, I've been all through the settings bad even using roaming apps but nothing seems to allow me to roam and get a decent reception...
Does anybody know how to unlock the roaming option from the settings?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Have you tried using "Roam Control" app? There is no setting built in to force the roam feature.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

dude, i just went thru the same exact thing today. i even went totally stock, kernel, recovery and everything, still stuck in roaming.
i spent hours then i did the factory reset code on the dialer ( *#7780# (Factory Reset) ) and it worked again, i was so happy because i was thinking that i have to deal with the bs with sending the phone back or getting a new sim if that was the case. i hope it works for you also.
EDIT: i thought you were stuck roaming, not that u wanted to roam hahhahaha nevermind

I did try and also used the phone info app to see if I was roaming but nothing changes.
Is there any way to update the Prl? To see if a different prl will give me better reception

Go to settings then data usage and hit menu and you can turn roaming on.

[GUIDE] How to get your MMS back in CM10

Thanks to Shadrach in #verizons3 for helping put the final piece in this together.
So it's well known that after your first reboot you will lose your phone number and therefore lose your ability to send MMS. Here is how to solve it.
Update
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21023/
When this update gets merged, you will be able to skip the part with phone info to get 4g back. I've tested and confirmed. I will be updating the post today with quicker steps. (and you can get it in invisiblek's newest build http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...tlies/testing/ (That's as of today, August 11th. Probably tomorrow you'll want to check http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...cial.nightlies )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Needed: Phone Info (Get it from the market). (Needed only if you're getting 3g instead of 4g when you do this)
1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change to NV.
2. Hit back button and then click airplane mode button on the menu. Wait for the connection disappear. Then uncheck airplane mode and wait for it to come back and give you an empty triangle for a connection
3. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM. Repeat step 2 except you should actually have 3g or 4g now, depending on the build. If you have 3g then see below.
Using this method I can do the whole process in under a minute.
You may have lost data which is where phone info comes in. If you lost data:
1. Go to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks. Change network mode to LTE/CDMA
2. exit out that menu and 3g should come back but either way go into phone info.
3. In phone info go to phone information then scroll down and change set preferred network type to either LTE/CDMA auto (PROL) or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Data + MMS is now restored. Enjoy.
Addendum: For some people the reactivation screen comes on after they switch to NV. You can ignore it and hit the home button.

Can somebody confirm that is working, also thanks for this

This should work for AOKP, it is an AOSP rom after all.

This works, and probably should be updated on cm10/aokp thread. Thanks!

Also, are we able to reboot the phone everytime after this or if we reboot we will be loosing the phone number again

Does not keep after reboot, but I made a log and passed it on to cvpcs who is going to take a look into it.

okay... so i guess my first attempt at a reply to eaten by the webnarnians...
anyway, question is this:
in the cm10 thread it was suggested by many that 3g totally sucked in cm10 and that if you weren't in a 4g area you'd have major issues with data connection on 3g networks. does this fix resolve that problem as well then?
i've been holding off on cm10 because of the concern over lack of 3g. i'm not in a 4g region so it's 3g or nothing for me at the moment. i'd love to give cm10 a whirl but don't want to lose data.
thanks for the info!

I can attest to 3G sucking balls. Paranoid Android is so badazz too but I just can't deal with lack of service

[Q] Picture Messages [Solved]

My dad recently updated to ICS (Thanks Team Acid) but when someone sends him a picture a box comes up that says download as opposed to the picture just being there like on my phone which also has ICS. Can anyone help me fix this? It's important as he needs the pictures for work.
P.S. Nothing happens when you hit download. Just says downloading and nothing happens. Checked his gallery for download pictures and nothing new was there.
Help is much appreciated!

If your talking about MMS then you need to check something on your side, MMS works fine on my side, my friend sent me a picture of his Math Homework

Check settings in the messaging app and see if auto retrieve is checked.

Make Sure Data is turned on.

If his data was turned off, then he wouldn't even receive the message. His problem is that he could not see/view the picture that was sent to him.

Actually that's wrong, he will still receive mms but he would have to "download" it to view the picture.

Can you explain this further. When I had Virgin Mobile they had many growing pains when they started selling the optimus v and with that several data outages. When data was out you couldnt ever get mms pictures. I got a couple free months of service because of that. I was told by sprints level three techs mms would not be transmitted. As in you would never get the message unless data was on.
If I am misreading what you are saying please ignore. But I am almost positive you still need data to get the mms. Not just to download but to receive it.
