i have the palm pre minus on sprint running webOS 1.4.5 and 3 days ago the 3G radio just loses my signal all the time its goes from 5 bars to 1 then back to 5 then back to 1 and is always doing and you can tell that my signal drop when im on a call. i was running the F105 thunder chief kernel from preware but then i couldnt connect to the sprint network and i would roam ( thats when the signal would from 5 to 1 ), but i did have WiFi but, yesterday i put the default palm webOS 1.4.5 kernel back on and the sprint network work and im not roaming and i do have 3G but no WiFi, when i try to turn it on with the top bar i tap WiFi and i hit turn on WiFi but it doesn't do anything. what should i do, i have an unlimited data plan and even tho its slow i use things that you can only use if your on the sprint network, is there anyway to get the WiFi back?
You should do Doctor, Backup your data before doing this.

Really I do a copy manually by copying all App/Packages folders on Cryptofs, then put it back when is fully restore, and when you make the backup check the patches folder and delete it all, also the services.
can i back up my text and things like that?

Lets face it. All devices have bugs upon release that the normal person won't care about nor think of it as a bug. This device has it's share but as a reminder. There is no software bug that can't be fixed. By the way, make sure you don't skip the initial setup and if you did just wipe and restore.
1) Some are having a problem when using WiFi. There 4G or 3G data is not turning off and instead of your device using WiFi to exchange data it is using your 4G or 3G data. If you turn WiFi on and don't see a 4G/3G icon in the notification area then your device is working properly in this department.
The Fix: There is three "My Account" apps on our devices and there causing a conflict when 2 or more is running at the same time. To fix this you need to delete all of them (I used Root Explorer). If you use "My Account" you can download the current version from the market. Next, freeze or delete WiFi calling and the T-Mobile app pack. After you have deleted everything you have to reboot your device. Note: While deleting or freezing some of these, you might get some looping force closes. Just simply remove your battery to reboot the device and once it reboots the force closing will be gone.
2) Some are having a problem when moving from cell tower to cell tower. If you are losing a data signal every once in a while but the 4G/3G icon is still showing in the notification area, you need to do the fallowing.
The Fix: Go into your Mobile Network settings and make sure your device is setup to automatically use GSM/WCDMA. Then click on search for networks and at this point you will see T-Mobile UMTS, T-Mobile GSM and ATT GSW. After they appear click on select automatically. While your at it go ahead and click on data roaming since T-Mobile has contracts with other providers so your able to roam on there towers. Don't worry, you won't be charged for roaming since T-Mobile only charges for international roaming. After all this do a reboot.
Some of you think that there is a problem with your battery if your device is showing your "cell standby" above 30%. This is not a problem. Every time you charge your G2X it will reset usage percentages as you know. Well if you emediatly start using your phone and don't put it down for 2 hours than I promise you that your display will be at the top of the list. Obviously if your device stays off for a little bit and upon waking it you look at your battery statistics your going to see Cell standby and Phone idle at the top since the display was off. If your wandering why Cell Standby is using more juice than WiFi it's because when you turn your display off it automatically sleeps your WiFi.
The percentages in your batter statistics need to add up to 100%-105% and something is going to use more than the rest depending on what your doing with your device after removing it from charge. Ask yourself this. If my G2X is in my pocket for 1 hour after removing it from it's charger. What would I like to see using most of my battery? I can tell you right now. Certainly not your display since it's been off the entire time.
There's only one MyAccount app on the phone. I looked myself in the System/app folder. If you see multiple MyAccounts in a task manager it is just another instance of the same application.
Also there's NOTHING wrong with Wifi Calling or My Account. I have both on and use them extensively. My phone has gone now 26hrs without a reboot or hitch of heavy usage. Wifi works, 3G/4G works perfectly. I don't have any issues right now...until the next reboot
Want to give people another perspective since you don't have to give up MyAccount or Wifi caling to have a usable phone.

Thats WHY you don't have any problems. Because you only have 1 "MyAccount" application. Those of us that had 2 or 3 have the problems. By the way I had 3 and no they weren't showing in task manager. They were all deleted using Root Explorer.
Where did you see them? They were all in system/app??!?
Odd how they could all exist together - were they named differently?

They all existed in the system folder. It seemed like instead of the new versions updating the existing app, they were just creating new files. Your right, it is odd but I can see how that would create a problem.

Hi -
I just got this white Skyrocket phone with 200MB data plan.
I heard that when connected to 4G, the phone uses data allowance from the data package, whereas if connected to WIFI (like at home), the data usage doesn't come off my AT&T data allowance.
So I want to disconnect from 4G and connect to my WIFI when I am at home.
At the store, the just told me to make sure that WIFI is showing as on on the top bar (or when you swipe that bar down). They said if WIFI is showing on, it means that the phone is using WIFI connection.
However, I see that at the same time when WIFI is showing on, the "4G" icon is also showing on and looking active! So- they are both looking active! That's why I wonder which connection is my Skyrocket actually using?
It looks like the data I use on WIFI also comes out of my data plan because the data packet is on.
So I had an idea, went to settings-wireless-mobile networks and unchecked "Use Data Packet".
When the above was unchecked, 4G icon disappeared and I could see only WIFI icon on the top bar, which would be good - however, the problem is that now I cannot connect to internet. (I turned the phone on and off- no change)
Does it mean that there is no way on Skyrocket to bypass AT&T data allowance and whether I use 4G or my own WIFI, there is no free internet access on this phone?
Or is there something else I can do to make sure I am connected just to my WIFI and data is free?
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you
It just shows both icon to double check get speedtest and do one. You can see in results if you get wifi or 4g LTE.

They both should not show up at once unless something that needs access to att data like voicemail is checking for messages. Sounds more like either you are not connecting to your wireless router correctly or the wifi antenna is messed up on your phone.
Well sometimes for me it shows both icons in status bar. All i do is turn off wifi and turn back and the 4G LTE icon disappears.

Yea same for me but that means something is not allowing the phone to connect to wifi hence having to turn the wifi radio off n on.
Normally it shouldn't do that. Plus if op restarted the phone entirely and still no connection something is just not establishing the connection correctly
Well not exactly because i did speed test and i got my connection as wireless connection so for me it was fine with both icon.

Some functions require the data connection (mms, some syncing etc) and will trigger your data connection even when on wifi
If truly concerned use tasker or juice defender to disable cell data while wifi is on. Or manually turn it off
Or as someone else mentioned...you wifi is not maintaining connection

Not sure if this will help but there are many apps in the market to help with connection issues. I have two widgets that tells me which one im using and how strong they are just do a search for mobile traffic or cell /wifi. Hope that helps.

I think a lot of people are ignoring the op said no data is working at all when trying wifi.
Yes both icons will show sometimes because like mentioned mms, voicemail, etc requires it.
If the phone has no data period even after reboots then wifi is not connecting
Download "My data manager" from the market. It will show you your data useage, both wifi and data. Use that and check to see if you really are using your wifi or if its still using data.

Thank you for all your replies, each one taught me something about this new phone and I downloaded a few of the apps that you mentioned.
So all day I was being very careful about the internet, tracking my 4G/WiFi usage all day and then in the evening my kid pressed on a game icon and some kind of car game downloaded =adding over 70MB to my data transfer right away!! (and my monthly budget is 200MB)
It took a couple of seconds - he actually just pressed on the icon and then pressed home when he saw a car because he decided he doesn't want to play it. But it downloaded anyway! I am so mad!
I think it is unethical and very sneaky of AT&T to place all those unnecessary apps on the phone - especially if they turn out to be so costly.
So the only way to delete all those stupid apps is to root the phone? I am not a programmer and I am so afraid that I am going to mess it up
Don't need to root in order to uninstall apps just go to setting>application>manage application>Downloaded apps> and uninstall them. This is all the bloatware that you don't need so go through carefully and uninstall what you don't need. It will help you increase battery life.

I was hoping for that, but when I called AT&T, they didn't want to credit my account, just the opposite, they made me up my data plan to 2G. They said in the beginning people tend to use data more as they explore the new phone - in a few months, once I figure out my monthly usage, I can change my plan and go back to 200MB or whatever.
They also tried to fix my issues with internet (when only WiFi was showing -no 4G- the phone would not connect to internet). So they fixed it and now I have internet access when only WiFi is showing on the top bar.
On the other hand, now 4G completely disappeared! I haven't seen it all day..
Either AT&T is having technical difficulties or I got disconnected from 4G!
Sorry my advise didn't work but they should credit you since your phone malfunction,guess it depends on who you get guess it's a crap shoot.

They can't make you upgrade your data. The guy you talked to is just trying to rip you off so he gets commission for upgrading you to a "better" data plan. It's your account and you can pick what you want for it. If you want 200 MB then call and switch it back and say the last rep said you had to and made you do it.
Hello everyone,
My phone (HTC One M7 Verizon) refuses to forget wifi networks. I have a 2.4 network at my apartment that I don't like to use because there is so much interference from other apartments. I have a 5Ghz network that I want my phone to connect to, which it does about half the time. The other half it goes to the 2.4GHz network.
I have tried to go to the wifi settings and forgetting the network, but after toggling wifi it comes back. I believe this is because Google remembers wifi passwords so they can be restored if you reset your device. Is there any way I can remove these stored passwords?
I have also tried editing the wpa_supplicant file and after a wifi toggle the network is restored.
Thanks in advance!
The setting for Google saving your wifi passwords is in "Backup and reset", but this also includes your app data and contacts, so you might not want to toggle it off.
Forgetting the network should work. I've done it on my phones, and it always works, even if I have the backup setting toggled on.
The obvious solution is to simply rename your network.

I did think to rename my network, but would rather avoid that only because I really shouldn't have to rename my network because my phone refuses to forget a network.
I believe this is because of Google because I have recently wiped my phone and installed a new ROM so I doubt any saved network info would have survived that.

When you first set up your phone newly installed ROM, it gives you the option to restore data and accounts and passwords. If you allow it, it doesn't matter what device or ROM or whatever it came from, the saved info will be restored. I don't know why toggling wifi un-forgets the network though. That's just weird.

I don't mean to sound stubborn, I just want to avoid reconnecting all my devices that use that network if I can. If that's the only solution that is fine, but I would like to see if I can stop this from happening before doing that.
I don't remember seeing an option but I can not include passwords when I the restore during the install?

Rename network.....riiggght. Although correct that will work that's a temporary solution .
I can't keep renaming my home and work networks. If google includes the option to forget a network and it doesn't...that's a bug plain and simple.
Of course its great to have google restore my networks...love it. But if I choose to forget a network....read...feature of the os......it should sync that setting.
Heck...we are not even talking about a restore...if I forget one of my 3 home networks right now....by tomorrow night my phone will have it saved again and I have to forget it again. Need a good ole days option to state what takes precedence....cloud or device or something.

I think 200 is the maximum limit
Go to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file there u can see your saved list with password(phone needs to be rooted I think) and remove any duplicate or unneeded ones or just make a copy of the file and delete some or all from the list and add Wi-Fi networks as u go and if u don't know the password just look up the copied file
U can copy this file with adb pull too(without root I think?)
Or try this app it has a option to backup and restore Wi-Fi list https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roamingsoft.manager
Thanks a lot for your help... but I was wondering if there is anyway where I could keep those saved networks on the phone just it used to be before the security update (they are was more than 200, and it was fine with the phone)... or even a way to uninstal the latest update, if this will get it back the way it was

No, there is a limit, remove some networks. There's no way you're using over 200 networks that you "need". No one needs that many networks, I'm sure you can spare removing a few. Just remove some of them instead of trying to bypass the limitation, you would more than likely just cause issues trying to modify the limit.

You know, I would have believed you and followed the advice hadn't it been working very well with me before I do the security update... Yes.. I had way more than 200 wifi networks, and they were all stored at the same time on the system, until the latest update... So, thank you for the suggestion, but no.. you are not correct... there is a way.... and that's what I'm trying to figure out...
Same problem, with more detailed description, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/help/save-wi-fi-networks-t3547638
Ok, quick and dirty yet once again.
This method is not so quick but it works and will keep through OTA updates. I don't know who originally came up with this but this is where i found it so my credit goes to @Sczar for his post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69767241&postcount=3
OK, here we go. First go here and root your phone( you can unroot when you're done):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780
@godpowerrr is always around to help.
Once rooted open up a root file explorer and navigate to /efs/imei/ and open the file "mps_code.dat " with a text editor.
Change the SPR to spr (lowercase) and save the file. Once that file is changed simply use odin to flash the stock firmware, preferably with home_csc to avoid losing your apps and settings.
Once you're booted back up you should be able to use the ##3282# dialer code and select view, then APN Settings. At that point you should be able to simply tap on the APN and add the dun to default,mms line. don't forget to click save after you edit each APN you add it to. At this point you have some different features but you lost your wifi calling and gained video calling. You're free to keep it this way if you like. if you want wifi calling and the normal setup continue on with the next few steps.
Once you double check the changes took, simply re-root and change the file contents back to uppercase. After you save the file re-flash stock firmware with home_csc. This will restore wifi calling and anything else that was missing. At this point you're now on stock non-rooted with your tethering APNs. If you wish to remain stock with tethering stop here, you're all set.
From here you can either do your OTA or root, either way this will keep through the root or OTA.
Special thanks to @Sczar ,

It sounds like you're asking how to check without sprintzone if your data is showing up on the hotspot data of your plan or just normal data use. if that's what you're asking i assume you could check that online in your account details or call sprint and ask. I've never had the hotspot on my plan so i'm not really familiar with how it all works. If that is what you were asking i'd be interested in knowing as well.

Simply asking because ive tried some hotspot bypass' before and it was using my mobile data. Unsure hows this works, thx

My best guess would be that it doesn't affect the hotspot plans data usage based solely on the dun method being used to bypass Tmo hotspot limit. I would like to see a verified answer from someone that actually has a hotspot plan. [emoji6]

Ok, quick and dirty yet once again.
This method is not so quick but it works and will keep through OTA updates. I don't know who originally came up with this but this is where i found it so my credit goes to @Sczar for his post

Let's say you're already rooted and plan to stay that way, do you think it possible to change this file (SPR to spr)>reboot>change APNs>change file back? Or is the flashing to a stock Rom needed after the change?

I think it may be possible with another carrier but I think our packages that we disable keep this from seeing the change after a reboot. I haven't gotten any response about another carrier so I have no idea how it works for them. The flashing seems to be what triggers the system to see the change. If you use the home_csc when you flash you don't have to re-disable packages, re-install apps, or set your phone back up. Honestly I don't have the time to check package by package, with a reboot after each one, but I would encourage anyone with the time and patience to give it a try. Worst case Ontario you'll have to re-flash stock anyway. The original method doesn't usually take more than 10 minutes and lasts through updates.
