[Q] Weird problem with phone/apn settings - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

So last night, I was trying move the dalvik cache to my ext2 partition. I am on a custom rom, b2tb. while trying to move dalvik, I did something wrong and it seriously screwed up my phone. I had a backup, but when i tried to restore it, i got an md5sum mismatch. I had two choices: odin, or wipe data/factory reset. not wanting to deal with going all the way back to stock, root, install cwm recovery, flash again, all that, i chose to wipe data through recovery mode. it fixed whatever i screwed up, but now when i reboot, my phone doesnt connect to data right away, and i get a message saying process com.android.phone has stopped working. i force close it and then it connects, but then it usually force closes again. i think its because my apn isnt connecting right away, and also think my apn settings could somehow be stored on my sd card, because it wont stay connected until after it says media scanning completed in the notification bar. i could be wrong about where my apn settings are being stored, but im still having problems with my internet connection not working right away on reboot. if i cant fix this, im gonna have to reflash b2tb and i dont want to do that. please help.

try to reset the apn settings i forgot what app does that to save the battery

Phone wipes everything after reset

I've just flashed this ROM on my phone and everything is working perfectly except for one thing. Every time I reboot my phone (by just turning it off, or using the reboot button in the power menu), it wipes the data and settings on the phone (not on the SD card).
When I start the phone again it asks me to register a google account again, and all settings are gone.
Is this a bug, or did I do something wrong?
BTW I don't know if this is posted in the right section, I wanted to ask this in the original thread but because I have not posted more then 10 messages I was not able to, and the forum told me to post it here.
It just might be a temporary bug. I would trying do a full wipe along with wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the ROM again and see what happens. If the problem persists, then it might something else that is wrong.
Thanks! After a lot of messing around and even flashing some ICS ROMs, it worked. I now have the ROM I wanted without everything resetting itself in a reboot. Again thanks!

[Q] Should I wipe everything after bootlooping?

So here is a quick rundown of what happened:
-DL Beats audio, opened it, it was supposed to restart my phone, but it froze it.
-Could not power off or reset it, had to pull battery
-Was then stuck on the 4G LTE rainbow and would not load. Tried pulling battery nothing.
-Went into recovery mode and tried loading, nothing happened and I read someone say the only way out of it was to wipe everything and start over, so I wiped Data and Cache and Dalvik Cache with Clockwork. Nothing happens.
-Finally I Odin it supposedly back to stock. Hooray I can get into my phone, weird thing is all of my apps are there, email is set up, contacts are there with pics from FB, syncmypix, etc. It even retained the fact that I had disabled the stupid ongoing Wi-Fi notification. Just the homescreens are blank again.
-I never made a CWM backup, I think I made a Titanium backup, I know I used MyBackupRoot (the one that is a life preserver). That being said I thought I wiped everything in CWM. It said it had formatted the internal and external SD.
Question is should I go ahead and try to wipe everything clean again?
Am I going to run into issues using my phone how it is?
Should I back it up and then load a recovery from this or would that be pointless?
Or do I leave it alone and consider myself lucky?
Thank you and by no means am I a developer or anything, just getting back into android after 2 years on iOS and apparently know just enough to get myself into trouble.
If everything is working fine then you sgould be good. You must haved had the restore thing checked or verizon backup crap restored your stuff. When you odin that will flash the file system img so there is no way that your data survived
Did you check the md5 on the beats audio thing before you flashed it? Cause i have ran that fine.

[Q] Roms unable to activate after installation

So I installed clockwork and then installed an unlocked bootloader, after that I booted into recovery and installed cm 10 and gapps after I wiped data. Once that all finished I started the phone up I was already activated and stuff like that, but every time I would restart it would bring up a screen talking about activating my phone, and it never did anything just sat on that screen.
So I looked around and saw a post with someone having the same issue, and someone told them to wipe data and clear dalvik cache, so that's what I did. Once I started it back up, I had to go through the setup process again, this time it stopped and activated my phone, but it fails every time.
How could I fix this? I also tried installing cm10.1 and Liquid and neither of those would activate either.
If all else fails I will do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253 but I'm afraid that won't work correctly either..
Had the same problem after flashing the Carbon rom. Try going in settings>More>Mobile Networks>Preferred Network Mode. Select CDMA / EvDo auto. Reboot.
Ah that fixed it! I didn't have to activate either, it just started working.
Oddly though I tried dialing *22890 and it failed to activate.
I do have another question though, when I reboot it still seems to come up with the activation screen. Any idea how I can stop that from happening?

[Q] Factory Reset Did Not Wipe Anyhing

I'm trying to remove apps that's on this phone (GT-S7500) because some of the apps always force close and not working. Firstly, I tried uninstall the apps one by one, all went good until I rebooted the device, all of the apps are back again. Second, went to privacy>erase everything including SD card content, device rebooted and went straight to recovery. It was weird because normally it will reboot itself straight to home screen. So I select the option factory reset/wipe data, after that wipe cache partition and reboot. Device does not reboot but turned off completely (weird again) Turned it back on, and only saw that none of the apps were removed. Even the wallpaper are still the same. Next thing I do is manually boot into recovery menu and factory reset again, still the same thing, (device turned off without rebooting itself, turned it back on and everything was still the same) after few tries again, I finally decided to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Flashing was successful ODIN shows PASS, waiting device reboot but it shut off completely again. turned it back on, but nothing changes. wallpaper are still the same and every single downloaded apps were still there. Went to settings> about device only to found that it wasn't the same rom that I've flashed earlier using ODIN.(flashed 2-3 times again, results still the same) Very confused right now, suspected that the internal SD card was corrupted/damaged. Does anyone experiencing such thing on your galaxy ace plus? searched on xda forums and found that this issue was also happening on few other devices. This is not my phone, just helping a customer. Thank You.

Major problem with phone after (botched?) stock restore

I'm truly lost for how to fix this. I'm trying to restore my phone to factory and I've wound up with major issues with the phone when it starts up. I get immediately those messages you get when a process dies: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.phone has stopped." I get this message for a huge range of apps, as far as I can tell it may be all or most of the built-in system apps, one after the other. I can't access settings or anything.
I tried restarting into fastboot and using "flash-all.bat" to wipe everything and install the stock images, then booted into recovery and attempted to wipe the data. I got everything wiped, or so I thought, but then the same problem still occurs when it starts up. How is this possible? Surely there could be nothing remaining of the old system on there at this stage?
After you flash factory images, there's no need to go in recovery again. Also, when setting up google account, don't sync app data.
