[Q] APN settings wont save - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever i try to add new APNs my phone wont save them , the list is always empty . How can i fix this ?
Samsung galaxy S . running stock Android 2.2 ( I9000JXJPE ) voodoo 5.2 kernel .

Are you sure that after you enter the settings you are hitting the menu button and selecting save? Or are you simply hitting the back key after doing so?
If that's not the problem maybe your only options are factory reset or re-flashing firmware.

I am pretty sure i am saving it .
Hmm .. i found this APN manager app in the market . I downloaded it and throught the app i can see a list of APNs , including the ones ive been adding , and i can choose what APN as default and so .
Is the app enough ?

Not really sure about the app as I haven't used or needed it but I'd say give it a go. No harm in trying it I'd say. Hope it works for you.

OK.. A Workaround.. 2 solutions. Use either or:
1. Install SGS Tools from http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11697444/SGS Tools last.apk
Then select Secret Codes and GPS-Test and Settings..
2. download LauncherPro and create a custom shortcut on one of your homepages for LBSTestMode.
Shortcuts > Activities > LbsTestMode >
Both of these should work

[Q] Aps dont remember allready instaled

Hi
I apologise for my english
Thise happened 4 times allredy.
If i install app (no matter wich, last time it was Astro from market) it opens with wellcome window and setings etc.
I close it.
Next time i open it it behaves like it installed first time, opens wellcome window setings etc.
That happens to ewery app installed aftervard.
It is like aps think that they are just instaled, even if i set them and everithing.
Factory reset.
Everithing O.K.
After some thime all start to happen again.
It dosent matter wich app start thise behaviour first, it is random.
I woud like to know why thise is hapening, how i can prevent it and how i can fix it (without factory reset) once it happens.
I need detail instructions and explanation becouse i dont know anithing abaut android.
I use Galaxy S, no root, Froyo 2.2.1.
Thank you in advance

That dosent work and i have feeling that you misunderstand my question (becouse of my english).
Thise dosent have anything to do with market. It dosent matter if app is from market. Any app behaves like it is just installed. I apologise becouse my english prevent me from posting question more clearly but your answer have nothing to do with my problem.
Thank you for your answer, and i use thise trick twice before when downloads from market didnt start and market FC.
On some other forum i got replay:
Seems that your phone's NVS is not working.
But i coudnt get them to explain to me what that mean. Anybody know what that means and how i can fix it?
Thank you for your time
Iztok
Anybody understand what i am asking?
Someone had problems with applications that never remembered her configurations,he had to rewrite some linux path for permissions by adb.But there is a fix permission in rom manager,don't know if it can help I'm not aware of that kind of stuff.
Really I'm giving tracks without knowing...and my english...sorry.
Hey! I have the same problem..so annoying. If i run twitter i get a welcome mssg and if i run it couple hours later or reboot my phone..it lost everything..so welcome etc. .all appz does it :-(

Let's try fix permission in the recovery or by rom manager from the market.Don't know for sure but something like that.(hmmm maybe safer by recovery)

Don't know much either,i mean never tried it myself, the option is in the recovery menu with certain kernels.I see it in my recovery on 2.3 with chainfire CWM.
What rom/firmware/kernel have you?
I'll be sorry if that's not a solution for you but by searching google for your concern that's the only thing i can see...
Thank you.
I did search and didnt find anithing (my english is not good)
I have:
PDA:I9000XFJS4
PHONE:I9000XXJPY
CSC:I9000MOTJS2
Build Info:2011.02
Is that answer to your question?
I didnt root or install custom mods or anithing. I have vanilla Froyo 2.2.1
I also had this problem.
Both my apps tweetcaster and hullinail were telling me to register my accounts even though i already did jus a few hours ago.
Emailed tweetcaster who i didnt get a reply from.
Emailed hullomail, who told me to send them a log and after a few emails told me i needed to reset the phone. This solved it.

Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Input -> Long-press home settings
uncheck "Show recent apps title"
check "Use custom Application"
Select "Custom Application" -> Application and choose Task manager.
And that's it, now you can run Task manager by long-pressing home button.
thanks

Well even better we can assign long press menu key as shortcut for task manager..
And if you are having problem assigning permissions in root explorer just set it as rw-r-r. You can also see the permissions of other apps. there and set according to it.
Here's the root explorer app.
I would recommend you to buy this app(one of the apps that are worth buying) and support the dev.

[Q] ATT samsung 8.9 1957 rooted wont reconnect to ATT data

Purchased a rooted (to Jelly Bean) Samsung 8.9 LTE tab originally on ATT network. Previous owner ran it on T-Mobile. It wont recognize my ATT simcard. Simcard works fine in other 8.9 tablet non rooted.
I was advised by previous owner to:
Re Flash Rom
Re install Kernal
Re install modem
I am brand new to rooting anything. I think I have done this but no results.
Can anyone assist me?
It should not matter if its rooted. I have s rooted i957 and att works fine. Have you checked the apn (access point name)? Settings, wireless, more, mobile networks. The apn needs to be configured for att. Do you know what radio(modem) you're currently on?

Thank you for the reply ----right now I there is no information populated in the APN name. I have attempted to add APN name with duplicate information from another 8.9 tab at ATT store. The information wont save. I dont know what modem I am currently on (or supposed to be on).

That's your problem. You have a couple of choices. You can return the tab to stock att ics or you can keep rooted jb and flash a new radio. I.don't know your level of experience so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do you know how to use odin or a custom recovery?

Not experienced with hacking/rooting android but am tech oriented person in all other areas. I know enough to throw the tab into the alternate boot mode (maybe you are calling recovery).
If you would be so kind to describe to me one time, I think I can get it.
my choice would be to not revert back to stock ATT, keep the rooted set up. Flash a new Radio.
BTW- I have tried "flashing" something with ATT and word MODEM in file name at root directory, but upon reboot still dont see APN info.
thanks in advance for your patience helping.

No problem helping you. We've all been there before. The alternate boot is recovery you probably have clockwork mod or twrp. I've worked with both. Finding a radio specifically for the i957 is a problem but the radios for the i727 work with no problem. It's what I have on my tab.
Download onto your tab http://d-h.st/NWW. This is the latest jb radio for the i727. You will flash this with your recovery. In the recovery there are options to wipe/format different things. You don't need to do any of those. Just flash/install the radio.
It should set up the apn's but if we have to we can manual set them up.

NO APN info populated after re boot.
btw - upon reboot I see the following briefly "Super User has stopped". This is not to do with the file you had me flash. Its been coming up since I tried to flash the super user file I saw in root when I was blindly troubleshooting on my own.

Do you have a baseband? It should be ucmc1. If this radio doesn't work there is one other that add a radio interface layer which you may need. The super user error can be corrected but we'll get to that. The other radio is http://d-h.st/pcr but let me know of you have s baseband first.

See off you can manually set the apn's on the first radio first. See my post above for the correct settings. Don't forget to save the apn before exiting by hitting the settings icon again. I've done that before.

I tried settings with first radio first and nothing. But I wasnt saving correctly. My settings icon disappears in certain screens.
then I loaded 2nd radio.
Now I will try new APN with the save method you indicate.
Wow, this is like scratching a chalkboard for you probably. moving forward
