The data connection on my hero will not turn on no matter what i do. Can't update prl or profile even on WiFi. I have tried changing roms, wiping everything, talked to Sprint( not that they ever help). I have an evo, so was selling it to a friend. But without data, it is junk. Any ideas?
This should be posted in General or better, Q&A.
Hold the power button, turn on airplane mode. Let it set for a few minutes. Hold the power button again, turn off air plane mode, give it a second. Check data.

I've never entered "Download" mode yet and I want to do it for practice sake. Is there an exit/escape to this command or do you have to accomplish something in order to get out of it?
hold the power button for 10 seconds
I've never been able to get it to shut down doing that. Normally you ahve to yank the battery to get it to reboot.

This. It leaves download mode immediately.
via my Samsung Captivate with JI6
I always hold the volume up/down and power and it gets out of it just fine. I have never tried the power button only.
Well...ok..it seems there are a couple ways to get out of it. I will try tonight and see for myself. Thanks for the answers !
I opened this app (battery booster, can't post link because I am new) after downloading it excited to hoping it was better then a previous one I was trying that seemed to do next to nothing.
I saw the brightness button and hit it. It showed 11%. I was like oh I thought I had this all the way down...so I use the scroller to take it all the way down assuming 0% meant that it was the lowest it could possible dim the screen...well it sure is a battery saver considering I can't even see my screen as its completely BLACK...............................
1. Why would you even allow something like this in a app.
2. Please help me fix it...
I have tried for about an hour to assume where the scroll down, and mounting the phone to my computer so that I could possibly uninstall it via computer with no luck...
anyone????!
I don't want to piss you off or anything, but I had read a comment on another thread saying they could never get it to come back, even when they went back to stock.
You may need to head down to the Verizon store :/

son of a...this is so stupid! What a bad feature to have in a app for idiots like myself apparently
if you have adb debugging you might be able to fix it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785603&highlight=horror
If you have usb debugging on, you can use adb to delete the app you downloaded I think. Did you have it enabled?

I didn't have debugging on i checked via adb and long story short...i was still within 30 days of purchase ;-)
All may not be lost!!
If you're still in your 30 days take it back and exchange it.
If not, try booting into recovery mode and reset the phone. I don't think you need root to do that much and it should put the phone back to the way it was when you took it out of the box.
Hold down the volume button so that you are pressing both up & down volume at the same time (easiest to do with the battery cover off).
While holding the volume keys down press and hold the power button too. When the Samsung screen comes up release both buttons. A couple seconds later you will see the "Android system recovery" screen.
Press the volume down button until you have highlighted "wipe data/factory reset".
Press the "Home" button to select it.
You will then be told to press the volume up button to wipe the phone or press the volume down button to exit/cancel. Press volume up and follow any additional instructions. That's as far as I go to guide you (I want to keep my stuff as is ).
If that doesn't take care of the issue then you should take it to verizon and tell them what happened. Good luck and let me know if this worked for you!

hi i have been very stupid and installed a optimus 2x rom on my LG Thrill 4G, i have tried putting it in download mode and all kinds of thing and the hole phone will not turn on. Is there another way to put a new rom on of fix it before i send it in? P.S. when i try to put it in download mode or what ever all it does is connect and disconnect, connect then disconnect and never ends. I also tried all other combos of buttons and nothin. The screen will also not come on for crap. I did get it taken to AT&T store and the put in a new battery and new charger to try but nothing responds no screen no nothing. I don't even no if the battery is charging. Any help will be appreciated.
When your in download mode and it turns off and on... You have to hold volume up and power to enable download mode. takes 2 to 3 seconds and usually vibrates

Okay so my power button just randomly stopped working after some random time. it doesnt work ANYWHERE. to lock my screen, to unlcok my screen, in recovery mode i cant press anything cuase it doesnt WORK. i no its a hardware issue becuase of this. i did google this but found nothing. what can i do to fix it.
i tried a battery pull and putting it back and going to recovery to factory reset but as soon as i put my battery in my phone starts up. i can enter recovery but the power button doesnt work so i cant press anything.
my warranty is over by a long shot ( had it since it released) so cant return it.
any help would be appreciated. all i need is a way to turn my phone on and off nothing about the recovery and stuff. but if you do find someting for it that would be even more amazing.
and has this happened to anyone else, just wondering is all if this is common or rare.
thnx in advance.
it has happened to many captivates. search 'captivate power button' on xda.
What ROM are you running on your phone?
Answer to that question has a lot to do with your next steps for software workaround.
One approach; you could read up on ways to clean the power button and see if that works. Or send it off to mobiletechvideos.com and he will fix it for a reasonable fee.

i am running Aocp 5 android 4.2.1
hve been running it for a few weeks now and no problem till now
Okay, start by seeing if you can clean the power button, that may fix it for now. Again, search 'captivate power button' to find some threads about ways to clean it.
With the ROM you are running, I believe you have a version of CWM that allows to use the Cappy's dedicated menu keys, menu, home, back and search, to navigate and select recovery items.
Assuming your power key is stuck on, remove the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons and reinsert the battery to get into recovery. This will allow you to test keys, wipe, and any other function in CWM.
With the phone on and fully booted into JB, go find volume rocker wake in the system setting options and make sure it is active. Hitting the up/down key will wake the screen when it sleeps. Add the sleep/lock toggle to your notification bar menu and you have a way to instantly lock the screen without the power key.
If you still have a bad power button stuck in on position, then you will need to take out the battery to turn it off.
Hope this helps.

This is happening because your power button is stuck in the on position. Did you try to clean it as suggested earlier.
BWolf56, I'm not aware of an app or ROM that completely prevents power up on insertion of battery when the power button is stuck on. If there is such an app, I'd like to hear about it. I think maybe the power switch goes to the broadcom power management chip, so I don't understand how the app could work unless the phone never came on at all. SOD symptoms would be the result.

Oh that would be impossible, the OS isn't loaded so even less the apps
I was suggesting a app to turn off the phone/lock screen. There are widgets for that in the market.

I had a very similar problem with my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint S2) - my phone would randomly reboot, and it kept getting worse and worse. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.
(They don't include the skills needed to solder it in place. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's good at soldering?)

well thanks for the reply, but i dont need it anymore. my friend conveniently had a GNex (old) and gave it to me as a present. so i dont use my captivate that much anymore.
I switched on extreme power saving mode because I only had 6 percent battery life left and didn't have access to an outlet. Now that I do have it charging, it wont let me disable it. When I click exit it just says Please Wait (been like that for about 20 minutes). Any idea how to fix this?
I am completely stock and unrooted
I've tried shutting down and restarting

Only way i can think of is to reboot to bootloader and factory reset. Plug it in your computer to see if you can save your pics and stuff. If you went to a sprint store that is what they would do.
To get into bootloader power off device hold volume down and the power button. Click hboot then factory reset. That should do it.

I'm having the same issue, it's been over an hour stuck like this. I went in through the phone to settings down to the High Performance Mode and nothing. I tried Safe Mode, nothing. I went into the power settings through system settings and the extreme mode was grayed out as well. I can't do anything to get it working.
Any other ideas? HTC had no idea what I was talking about and told me to take it back to Sprint.

This thread saved my life! I hope this gets to HTC and this bug is fixed! It apparently has something to do with the extreme power saving mode replaceing your home screen, and not being able to find and set the defult home screen back be it blink feed, or google now launcher ect.
Get the lastest software update to permanently fix this problem
I also ran into this problem, and was able to fix it permanently by updating the HTC software with the latest Sprint update. I got there by getting into the general setting by back-spacing while in the phone setting (it won't work for other settings). Now when in EPSM window the exit button works as intended (albeit a bit slowly)

I turn the extreme power safe mode on every night when I go to bed, and disable it the next morning. I had been doing it without a problem for 2 months and this morning had this problem as well. And the funny thing is, BlinkFeed is not my home screen. Reboot, nothing. Forced reboot, nothing. Anyways, toggling the extreme power safe mode on and then off did the trick for me as well.

Cant be Exit - Extremen Power Saver mode -
I have HTC Desire 816 rooted Kitkat version. Now my problem is exit extreme power saver mode.
i can enter exit extreme power saver mode. but i cant to exit extremen power saver mode, my another problem is i cant to bootloader, fastboot etc. so i cant to factory reset. now i am stuck with extreme power saver mode,, please help me to exit power saver mode.
The way out of that page is to click call icon, then setting icon, go back and finally put on (again) extreme power saving mode. Then you can easily exit from extreme power saving mode. Thank you! Jide
For those who are having same ussue on htc 10 devices. (cuz i had one just right now)-
Try holding wolume down button right after powering on to get in safe mode. From there you will be able to disable epsm.
