Hi Guys,
I have been running WCDMA Only on my N5 with 4.4.2 for some time and every time I rebooted, the setting stuck. Now after the upgrade to 4.4.3, the setting doesnt seem to stick.
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information and change to WCDMA Only. Hit home button and the setting sticks, but everytime I reboot now, its gone.
Any help on how to get it to stick. I did do a complete Wipe and installed the factory image including the new modem. I reverted to the old modem but nothing helped. Did a factory reset, went back to 4.4.2 and it sticks there.
Tried a new 4.4.3 pre rooted rom, but still nothing.
If you're rooted you could use tasker. But just normally I don't know that you can change it. I'm surprised it stayed before. Didn't use to in older versions when I used to do that
Yep I am rooted. The settings stick on another N5 here on 4.4.2 with the same setup. It just seems odd I cant get mine to stick after reboot. Any build.prop edits anyone knows?
Bump. Hoping someone could help me out here.
SOLVED:
If you cant get the setting to stick do the following.
1) IF you want to run ART then.
a) Switch to Dalvik, Install xposed framework, install Intelli3g from Playstore
b) Reboot and run Intelli3G, make the network change
c) Reboot and see the setting stuck by going to *#*#4636#*#*
d) If so, then uninstall xposed framework via the installer
e) Reboot to see if the setting stuck by going to *#*#4636#*#*
f) Switch to ART and see if the setting stuck. It should have.
IF you dont run ART, do all the above besides uninstalling xposed. Stop at step C.

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?
So earlier today I booted into stock recovery and wiped the cache partition in the hopes that it might get the bugs out and speed my N5 up a bit. Well, while wiping the cache partition the phone frozen. I held the power button to reboot the device. The phone booted up fine, but I've seemed to have lost my carrier settings. I've taken the sim in and out several times and cannot get the device to connect to a mobile network. Carrier settings is not present under settings so I cannot manually update the profile. The phone is stock and running on the Sprint network. Anyone have any ideas how to get this thing working again? Thanks for your help!
Have you tried resetting your APNs back to default as well as setting preferred network to LTE/CDMA?

Depending what ROM you use.. Settings -> Mobile Network or
Settings -> More -> Access Point Names -> Menu -> Reset to default

The option is there, you just have to find it under Wireless & Networks. I'm on a custom ROM so it appears in a different part of the menu.
Select Settings.
Select More Settings.
Select Mobile Networks.
Select Access Point Names.

I think thats what he means. "Mobile network" is gone.... Maybe?
Yes that's what i mean. Carrier Settings is missing as an option. I tired to do a factory reset under settings but when I click the button nothing happens. This is very odd.

This happened to me before. I wiped cache, it seemed like it hung up so I rebooted and lost network connectivity. Lucky for me (and you) it's easily fixable. Go back into recovery and wipe cache again. This time let it finish. It might seem like it's stuck but just let it run its course. When it's done, boot it back up and everything should be fine.

Thanks for the message; I wish I would have seen it sooner. I did fix the issue, but in a round about way. I tried to do a factory reset in recovery and the same thing happened it just froze up... or maybe was just was taking a long time. Anyway my impatience lead me to reboot, well that put me into a boot loop. Great... So i decide the only way out of this was to flash a factory image. Upon unlocking the bootloader and rebooting from fastboot all is back to normal. I hadn't planned on rooting my N5, but I'm this far now I might as well do it. Thanks everyone for the insight!
I'm not sure what's going on with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 from Verizon). I did install PingPong root and was enjoying it until yesterday morning when the phone was stuck in some weird boot loop.
After getting root, the only thing I've really done was to try to get into servicemode app by modifying the file
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
Modifying this file worked and I could access the servicemode app fine.
I've gone through a number of different steps to try to get it back to a normal operation but nothing has worked:
1. Factory reset
2. Cache reset
3. Odin + original firmware found on this forum
4. Verizon tool to repair phone
In every case, the phone will boot, load Android and show the initial setup screens and then after 1-3 minutes it will restart. There is no warning, it just reboots.
I've tried to look at logcat or dmesg to see if there is anything suspicious but it doesn't reveal anything.
The only clue I have that the above steps haven't completely reset the phone to the completely original settings is I am still able to access the servicemode app. I cannot under the HiddenMenu change I did without rerooting the phone.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on with my phone? Are there any logs or places I can check for actual issues?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini on stock rom, rooted. I was looking through Xposed for new possibly interesting modules. I installed one which said you can set volumes to have more than 15 points. So I installed it but I did not reboot yet figuring that I would do that later. I made all new backups of my apps and data using Titanium backup and then tried to reboot my phone but the reboot menu button would not work and the screenshot button at the top was blank yet functional. So I loaded up, or attempted to load up Wanam Xposed to check what was going on since that is what configures my rom and it said the app was not installed when I pressed on the shortcut.
So I rebooted the phone, entered the encryption password, it came up to the lock screen and from that point it would say my password did not match. I tried every password I have ever used, varying case and everything. No password worked. I had not manually changed it either. I had no choice but to factory reset the phone and format the SD card. Also I should mention that when I found out that wanam xposed was not seemingly installed any more, I attempted to install it and it would just say "App was not installed" or something. Then I installed Wanam Toolbox or something, I forget exactly now, but that installed and I rebooted and that's when I noticed my lock screen password was not working.
Any ideas on what the cause may have been and what things I could attempt to do if it ever happens again? I thought there was a thing where you can use your google account to unlock the phone but I could not get that thing to come up.
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy SPH-P500 Android ver. 4.1.2 Build JZO54K.P500VPBMB3 Kernel 3.0.31-929664.
It was never activated. I tried to have Ting and Sprint activate but both were unable to. One day it started downloading an upgrade. Since then every time I connect to Wifi it downloads and installs dozens of apps. I have uninstalled them and have done a factory reset 3 times. I have installed Malwarebytes but it doesn't find any malware. Nothing I do seems to stop the downloads. So many apps are downloaded it makes it hard to use the tablet and it slows it down. This tablet was rooted before trying to activate and I thought that may be the reason we couldn't so I unrooted it. I have tried to root it again but it won't root. I have tried to boot into safe mode but it doesn't work by holding the power and volume down buttons. When Ting was troubleshooting, they had me use the calculator to boot into the safe mode but I forgot how we did it. I think I may need to flash the factory rom but I not quite sure where to start. Please help!! I am just learning where things are on the tablet even though I have had it for a couple of years so please don't use too technical terms.
Thanks
this is done by google play
go in parameters & disable this option

Thanks for your reply. Is this Google Play Store that does this? Sorry to be a noob but how do I get to parameters to disable this.
Thanks for your patience.
start google play (not wifi connected)
choose parameters option

I have rooted the tablet with Kingroot and have uninstalled or disabled almost everything, but still have the issue. Everytime I connect to wifi, apps are downloaded and installed automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I should install the factory rom, please direct me to where I can get the file and the directions to install. Thanks
OK
Thanks for all the suggestions. Nothing is working. Now when I turn off Wifi, after a second of two, it comes back on so I can't stop all the apps from downloading and installing. The apps use all my memory so if I try to do anything the tablet is slow and there is always some screen popping up. If I install the factory rom, will that get rid of everything and put it back to original? Doing a factory reset doesn't help.
