Please help me with my Fuze!!!

I am on my third one and now my 30 days are over so I'm stuck with it and if I return it based on warranty help I get a remanufactured one but I am having some really annoying problems. I have searched these forums but frankly they are very complicated and you all seem very advanced and technical and it's very confusing. I'm hoping someone can lay out in baby steps how to help me with these issues.
1. My folders, and TF3D indicate I have a text message when there are no conversations in there it's completely empty in every folder but it still indicates I have one new text message and it won't clear with a soft reset or anything.
2. Often times my calls go straight to voicemail and do not ring on my phone.
3. I drop a lot of calls
4. Often times my phone will flash and show who is calling but not actually ring even though the sound is completely on.
5. I get a ton of errors that want to report to Microsoft especially the shell32.exe error
6. Often times when I try to connect to the internet it won't work on the Opera browser or IE browser just says can't connect.
7. Often times my email won't download and I get a message saying check in my network connections and the only way it'll fix is if I power the device off.
8. The feature where I can flip it upside down to mute it doesn't work
9. Often times I will click on one spot and it activates something I didn't click.
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Can someone please help me? I am begging. You can find me on Yahoo at julesthequeen06 if it'd be just easier to tell me I'm a lost cause on chat. Thank you in advance for reading this far.

Have you flashed a new rom, loaded any progams, or done anything beyond out of the box configuring? The easiest answer would be to hard reset the phone and see if that helps.

We need to know some more in-depth info
Carrier:
Rom:
If you haven't tried flashing a rom I highly suggest doing so. This can help with a lot of the problems you are having. For the Stock Rom has a lot of problems.

i wouldnt flash a new rom if its screwing up like this out of the box. what have you installed on your phone? if its doing all these these without any installed programs or mods why have you waited 30 days to do something about it? it seems to me its more of a software issue. try hard resetting and go from there. if its fine, install one program at a time and find out which is causing it. if you have att then i dont think your mute is supposed to work like that, thats a feature you have to install another program to do. i could be wrong but mine doesnt work like that.

I would do a hard reset and clear everything... i would change my time to redirect the call to voice mail to the Max: 30 seconds, I would turn off error reporting because its just a pain in the arse.. the flipping it upside down to mute is the program thats having and issue but like everyone else said what do you have installed on your phone

[Q] Need APN Settings Galaxy S 4G

Would someone be able to supply me with the APN settings for my Galaxy S 4g? This idiot just deleted his. I thought something was wrong with my phone because I had lost all ability to use packet data over anything but Wi-Fi. So while troubleshooting I deleted the default without backing it up. I did figure out why I lost data though. Did you know T-Mobile expects you to pay them EVERY month? The wife thought I paid it and I thought she had.
It's paid now, but I can't find anything here or on google that references that they are specifically for SGS4G. Does it matter? Can I use any?
BTW, if anyone knows any alternate config for APN that claims improved speeds I may as well use those. Never wanted to before because I'm satisfied with my speed, but since I'm adding them back....

Have you tried reseting APN to defaults?
Press the Menu Key
Tap on Settings
Tap on Wireless and network
Tap on Mobile networks
Tap on Access point names
Press the Menu Key and tap on Reset to Default
Don't know if that will work for ya... but other than that you have to call tmobile/yourmobilecarrier to get the settings.

I'm not at my computer right now. But go to the vibrant section and look for the think tank removing data throttle thread. Or Google T-Mobile apn settings and manually enter them on the phone.

I'm Good Now
Thanks to golmar n blackphnx for the reply, I had googled and found some before posting, but wasn't sure if I it was one size fits all. I tried what you suggested Golmar and it worked except I needed to take a couple more steps beyond your post. You got me in the right direction though. If any other boneheads ever does the same as me, follow the below:
1. Follow steps given by Golmar in post 2 to get to your APN settings but you won't have restore defaults when selecting menu (system won't let you if you do not have any APN. Only can choose to create a new one or cancel from the pop up)
2. What you will see if you have no APN stored is it goes directly to a dialogue asking if you want to create a new one or cancel. Say yes and you get a full form asking for all the detailed APN info (If you say no/cancel it exits back to the previous menu).
3. Enter Name (doesn't matter what) and then epc.tmobile.com in the APN field don't know if you need APN, but I put it in.
4. Now, when you select menu you will have option to Save or Discard. Select Save.
5. Saving brings you to the screen you normally would see to select default APN or another one if you had created. (If you just went through these steps you should see just 1 named whatever you entered in step 3.)
6. At this point you can select menu and choose to restore defaults. Your default APN will return and the dummy just created will be removed.

Good to know!

How Do I Change MMS Settings In Windows Phone 7.5 Mango?

I've bought a Samsung Focus S and unlocked it as well as updated the APN info. However, I can't find out how to update the MMS settings. Is there a way to do this or am I SOL?
(I've read you can edit the settings in the XML files, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible as I'm not sure what the correct instructions are to do that. If someone has them please post them!)

Surely someone knows how to do this? Why would MS make this setting so hard to change?
I just tried this:
xxx.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-enable-mms-on-samsung-focus-samsung-omnia-7-guide/
but unfortunately it doesn't work. ##634## will get you into the Diagnosis (ver.0923) menu, however once I type 40*047#3 nothing happens. Next to the numbers entered there's a circle with a horizontal line in the middle, however when I hit that it just erases the last number I entered. There's no other buttons to hit so I'm guessing something should happen automatically.

Bueller?!?!?!

Following my directions in thread 20634899 post #43. Make sure to read the whole thread as well as it gives some insight on the files you can use.

What kind of phone do you have? If it's a Samsung like the OP, it's a piece of cake. Read my guide for the Focus here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614107&referrerid=2943819 it has been reported to work on the Focus S as well. I can confirm the Focus and the Omnia7, both of which I owned. If you have a Dell Venue Pro, it's even easier. Go to EM (##634#) and do your thing under "MMS Settings".

Samsung Stratosphere 2 - Verizon

Hello,
I want to buy Samsung Stratosphere 2 SCH-i415 from someone who got it from Verizon.
I don't live in US and I want to use it in other country. If I unlock it - can I use it with any mobile carrier?
Thanks

Hey, was looking around the forum for something else and stumbled onto this thread.
Maybe you've already solved this, but here's the answer is anyone else are looking;
First off, if the phone has been activated first time with a verizon sim card in the US already, it should be unlocked and ready for calling and sms. Verizon doesn't sim lock the phone, only lock APN's for GPRS/3G traffic (solution for that below)
Just bought this phone off ebay, got it to Norway and set about using it with a norwegian sim card.
First thing I needed to do was bypass the verizon setup wizard, as it just kept saying "non-verizon sim" and asking me to reboot.
The solution for this was remarkably simple, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=36lfn9sBo70
"1. Make sure you are on the select language screen.
2. Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Press Volume Up Key in that exact same order. Watch video if you are confused.
3. All Done. "
Next is rooting, need to do this for the next steps;
Depending on what software you have (4.0.4 or 4.1.2), grab the system image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615 (page 8 for 4.0.4, page 7 for 4.1.2)
Then we want to remove the annoying "non-verizon sim" notification;
Use Titanium Backup pro to freeze the app called "Setup Wizard 1.0" (the one with verizon logo on it, not the version 1.3 one)
Job done. Now you can freely use any sim card anywhere for calling and sms (afaik)
For GPRS/3G traffic you will need to add your APN settings, but Verizon has locked this menu, so we need another way in.
I used "APN Manager Pro" to add my carriers APN data, the app found it in the database and did everything for me.
There are probably other, free ways to do this (editing apn xml file manually and so on) but I found this app well worth the few bucks they charge for it.
If you want to do it manually there are some other guides around here, and googling will get you some hints too.
The only problem I have left now is trying to get mine updated to Jelly Bean, as Verizon only uses OTA update, and won't let me do it from Norway with a non-verizon sim card, but I have faith we will find a solution for this too.
Otherwise a great phone for the full-qwerty addicts out there :good:

Hey I in sweden using a swedish sim card and I got the gprs/3g to work somehow without rooting. I managed to upgrade the firmware via wifi, and I think that opened the apn settings. but my main question is if its possible to open the 4G cause it only has gprs/3G now. and I wonder if u also just get gprs/3g or do get 4g also?

It can't be this easy can it?

Great thanks! I will be testing this out later today. I hope it works!

confirmation
hey guys,
i can confirm i got this working on china mobile with some changes.
didnt find a database option in apn manager. i found the manual data here: (pm for link. not enough posts to make links apparently)
also found in order to get apn manager to save a new apn i needed to make it a system app with titanium.
also found, you dont need apn manager at all. if you go to settings ->more settings->mobile networks->access point names and then hit the "menue" button (three vertical dots at the bottom right of the phone), you get an option to add access point. fill out your info, and hit that button again, and you will see an option to save.
hope that helps someone else.

Look at the thread [Q] Rooting the Samsung Stratosphere II? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615&page=27) at page 27 post #262 how to get a rooted image of MF1.
And in the same thread at page 31 post #305 how to get a rooted image of MJ2 which is currently (feb 2014) the latest ROM version for Stratosphere II.
Thanks to kado01 for his work.
I has been confirmed that the Stratosphere II can be rooted by the saferoot method.
Look in the above link at page 26 post #257.
Since version MF1 you can easily access the APN settings. So, no need to install any APN manager.
I have simply added the APN settings for my network provider manually and it works great.
And finally please take a look at the above thread at page 31 post #308 and the following to help kado01 get an unbrick file for his problem?
I can't do it because I am unable to upgrade my phone to MJ2 with the MJ2 bootloader because I don't live in the US and my phone is not activated on Verizons network. I can only install kado01's MJ2 rooted image.
Thanks.

Add new APN possible
How to add apn to verizon samasung galaxy stratosphere 2 i415 (Root required)
(I found this from some forum while I was searching for how to add APN for my brothers Verizon S3. It worked 100%. All credits go to the guy who posted it there. I didn't remember the address. And sorry for my bad english.)
Go to market install BuildProp Editor
Once installed find and open Build Prop Editor
Hit the menu button and select Edit
Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen(looks like a disk)
Once this is done saving restart the phone
After restarting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>+ New APN
Add desired carriers APN info, when finished hit menu button and save
Power down and change to your desired SIM card if you hadn't already done so
Power back on and go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).
Select the respective APN listing and then you should have working data
Congrats you can now natively add in any APN desired.

[Completed] Can't change/delete wifi network in marshmallow.

Hi,
I don't know exactly where to look for help. Because, it could be a CM13 problem, a Oneplus One problem, a Titanium Backup Problem or a general Marshmallow problem. Please guide me in the right direction, where I could ask! (Or if you know the answer, I would be even happier).
///(writing this after everything followingWow, I really wrote A LOT. tl;dr: I can’t edit/delete my wifi connections on Marshmallow. I think, it’s because a new rule of Android 6, which prevents other apps (in my case my network settings) to change stuff (See paragraph 6). I have 2 assumptions (paragraph 7+8) but I still don’t know, how to change/delete my wifi connections. help!///
I also want to say, that I already asked in some german boards (hence I'm from germany), where I was immediately dismissed, because quote: "It's your fault if you install nightlies. You don't get help, if you are so stupid". Well I can't understand this point of view to some extend, but I still don't know, if its really a "nightly problem" or one of the other suspects. Please don't dismiss me directly. If you have a clue, please point it out.
Please also note, that I have under 10 posts, which prevent me to post links. I really don't want to spam and I hope I don't break any rules, but I included links to pictures in my posts. Not to spam, but because I think it's helps understanding my problem.
So lets get to it:
The used status: I was on the official CM12.1 nightly and have done updates 1-2 times a week. At university I use a TTLS/PAP connection with a certificate and my credentials (eduroam -> eduroam. org/index.php?p=faq#technology). At home and work I used a normal WPA2 connection.
What I did: I updated yesterday to official CM13 nightly with OpenGapps for Android 6. Not via the updater, but via Recovery. I did a full system backup beforehand with Titanium Backup. Booted into recovery (TWRP), wiped the usual stuff (factory reset + system partition), installed CM13 and OGapps, rebooted and setup the phone. Then I did a full restore (all data + missing apps, cause I didn't want titanium to overwrite the new Gapps). Everything worked out great. Phone runs great, my daily apps run great, no crash so far. Quite nice for such an early nightly.
Now my problem: I went to my university library 2 hours ago to work on some things in the evening. My phone is was not able to connect to the wifi (authentication problems). Than I tried to edit the network and saw, that the settings were lost (as well as the certificate). I downloaded and installed the certificate and set everything up in the edit network panel. On save, it just gave me the message: Couldn't save network (imgur. com/fBDctvE.png). So I tried to delete the network, to set it up from scratch, but I can't delete it (imgur. com/2I29bSR.png).
I did some research I found people who had (It looked like at that moment) the same problem, of not be able to edit or delete a wifi connection. So one pointed out, to settings -> backup and restore -> and reset all network connections to factory state. I did that, but all the saved connections are still there. It can't delete them. Then somebody else with such a problem, said, he couldn't delete his network setups, but with an external app (WiFi Manager) he was able to delete the networks.
Which brings me to my current point in time: I tried the app, it was not able to edit or remove my networks, but it gave me one valuable information, which is maybe the key to my problem: imgur.com/ t2JmYml.png . It says, that: "Under Android 6 only the application, which created the network, is able to edit and to remove it."
Now I have 2 assumptions:
1) It’s a problem because I restored my data via Titanium Backup. If I look at my saved networks, than I also see, that the „owner app“ is now indeed Titanium Backup (imgur. com/I44ys5s.png) and NOT network settings. Which, if I understood correctly would prohibit network settings to change or delete networks, because of: "Under Android 6 only the application, which created the network, is able to edit and to remove it.“
2) It has nothing to do with Titanium, but instead is a problem, because the networks were created with the older version of Network settings (Gapps for Lollipop). And I did a fresh install of Gapps for Marshmallow. So maybe „new“ Network settings thinks, that it didn’t create the networks, but instead they were created by „old“ Network settings.
Either way, thats it. I really don’t want to install Lollipop again just to delete the networks and than again install Marshmallow and recover everything and setup stuff.
Did I miss something? Do you have different ideas, what I could try? I have root and busybox installed, could I maybe delete the networks „manually“ via Terminal Emulator, or could I adb into my phone and search and delete these settings? I was not able to find them, but honestly: Without somebody here pointing me at the right direction, where the network profiles are stored, I would not mess around on my own. Can you help me?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
To better assist you, please post your device model number and I will guide you to where you may find your answer.
Thank you.
