Hi, new poster here. I've only just started to tinker with my vogue after 2 years of suffering through WM6.1, unaware of all the outside possibilities. It's quite impressive really and i'm having a grand time with my new toy.
BUT.
I can't for the life of me understand why the data connection is not working.
I installed incubus' HTCSense release first, and it wouldn't connect (small little orange light next to the Ev symbol in notification bar:warning? error?), so I just wiped everything and installed the latest Donut. Now it says everything's fine, i can connect the modem and all, it even gives me an IP... but nothing that actually uses the data connection works; and I can't ping my IP from the outside, either.
I can't possibly be the only one with this problem, yet no thread on this forum seems to be addressing it. Does anybody know how I could track it down or work out a passable solution? I really don't have much use for Android if all it can do is be all kinds of pretty and switch between 5 screens silky-smoothly...
thanks in advance!
Vianney
PS: note that I'm on a Sprint plan, voice 200m + unlimited data, no text.
have you tried flashing back to stock windows, confirming data, then flashing to android again( either build).which voguimg.nbh file did you use?
Like hunter said, you need to flash back to the stock Sprint rom and provision data. You can download the stock rom for the vogue here or off of the Sprint downloads section. Nine times out of ten data problems seem to be because data wasn't provisioned prior to flashing Android.
this is also a good time to mention the forum search tool. since this question has been answered at least 100 times
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't suppose there's any way to save my settings/data while I flash everything back to winmo?
Provisioning might be the issue. But I had been using my Vogue on WinMo for 2 years and using data with no problem... that said, I changed my data plan from by-the-kb to unlimited since, so it might be that?
Hunter, I used incubus' included NBH for his Eclair, and voguimg-240x320-eclair-29-04-10.nbh for Vym's Warm Donut.
Kyle, I searched for a week before posting here so i'm familiar with this tool, but never could find the right answer; I'll happily educate myself if you provide me with the magic search terms.

Do a reboot and when the text/code starts scrolling push the volume slide up to get the install menu. There should be an option to backup data. When that's done you can put it into bootloader and flash to winmo. Once you know you have data working on winmo, try browsing around a little, you can go back into bootloader and flash the nbh file you're using for Android. When it reboots go back into the install menu. Install the system and then restore data and you're all set.
Many thanks guys, I switched back (after a few hours and scares), provisioned, switched again, and now I'm just having too much fun awesome job.
hi again
Do you have to redo this everytime data stops working? It was doing just great and stopped all of a sudden 36h ago. Now the modem connects but doesn't even get an IP, no data icon appears in notification bar, and yet all the options (sync, background data...) are back to normal.
ifconfig -a gives me info for 'lo', 'dummy0' and 'usb0', all supposedly ok but with no packet (8 on 'lo') and no error to track down.
Is it likely in need of reprovisioning? Am I going to have to do it every 15 days?
thanks,
V
Your data shouldn't just stop working. Have you trie a reboot?

several times yeah.
It's just not even trying. The modem says 'done' but that's it, any app using data just says it couldn't establish a connection... i'm baffled.
My phone was stolen yesterday evening. They turned it off which of course locked the pin, but if they remove the pin, how much of my phones data is accessible including saved passwords on accounts?
Can someone remove their SIM and see what access the phone grants them to accounts stored on the phone, like email etc?
To the best of my knowledge if they pull the sim card they will not be able to access any of it, and I doubt they stole the phone to get into your gmail. If someone stole it for themselves and are able to get past the pin, they will likely wipe it asap. If someone stole it to sell...the same.
Still to be on the safe side you should change your password with Google and any other accounts that could access your credit card info.
Sorry your phone was stolen, but your secrets should be safe.

Not sure on the I9000 version but i know I can get at all the info with or without a simcard inserted on the Captivate. I would change your passwords ASAP.
Thanks.
I've already gone ahead and changed my gmail password.
Luckily I wiped recently and didn't have many things installed.
I'm terribly depressed about this situation.
My phone, twas a gift.
Thanks for the advice and help.
When I changed SIM in my Galaxy S, phone asked me to re-enter gmail credentials. Unfortunately your data is not encrypted, so the thief can see your SMS, Skype chats and other things (especially if the phone was rooted). Android really sucks in terms of security
There is a tracker and remote wipe built into the security settings of the SGS but it needs to be activated and set up. A little late for you now but maybe for the future or others. BTW it still works even if the sim is changed and you can use the gps (even if switched off) and Google maps to pinpoint it.
my phone was stolen to, well, they did wipe him just before I used my lookout. damn.
but I also advise you to change some passwords.. just incase.

I use lookout as well - luckily haven't really had to use it yet.
There is an app called 'plan b' which you can install over the air from the market on android.Com/market, it allows you to track your phone but if the have cleared of then your most likely out of luck :/ your sd card will be fully accessible... hope you can manage to get it back

Afaik that can be uninstalled rather easily. Anyways, it's not really stealthy.
If you really want a stealthy track, lock, and wipe solution try Theft Aware from the market (7 days free) or google it, can be used without root (but root offers better features). Cheaper than Lookout too as it's a one-time fee.
If they steal my phone I could simply wipe it (installed on /system so it survives the wipe), lock it, trace it, anything by simple SMS commands. So even if I couldn't get it back at least I can wipe all data.
Won't help the OP sadly but for others this may be useful.
In really sorry for this incident mate
First I assume that you've changed your google & any email password u have over your device.
Next thing, I want u to make a call to your carrier so they block ur device via restricting the imei.
I had this question in my mind so I added a thread previously.

Lookout is a free app. Also, it can be run in "hidden" mode, and you can chose to have it run silently, and only be uninstalled via web .
Hi. My wife and I both have new Bionics (thank you amazon penny sale!). When we are home we both use wifi. I noticed my data going higher than I expected, so I went to the Verizon site and saw that on the breakdown of data usage it included times which we were home (and on wifi).
I have a rooted phone running Liberty ROM and she is totally stock. We are both running juice defender (if that may have an effect). Does anybody have any thoughts on this? I'll call Verizon if need be, but would rather not go through that hassle.
Thanks
I would start by checking the following. Go to menu, settings, wireless & networks, wi-fi settings, menu, advanced, wi-fi sleep policy. It's possible that your phone is reverting to 3G/4G when the wi-fi connection is "sleeping."

Even though you are on wifi, your data is still running in the background.
What I suggest is to turn off your data while at home and on wifi (don't turn on airplane mode as that cuts off service as well)
Also the settings in Juice Defender might be worth investigation. It seems likely it would turn off wifi if not in use.

Thanks for the quick reply. That option is set to "Never" - which seems to be the best choice. I am going to install the program "My Data Manager" and see what that reports after being home for a bit.
My battery life is great running 5.5.893 without Juice Defender, I used to have it but I got rid of it.
You should try without juice defender and see what happens.

That is what the cheesecake thread is about, correct? I think the biggest killer of my battery is working in a cement walled building - my reception is constantly going in and out when I'm in my office (the basement of said building) so juicedefender's cycling of radio's may be my only choice. I will certainly give it a shot when I have time to read about the method (and fix any screw ups I make)

Hmm, next best thing I guess would be to disable the data connection as Tivo7 suggested if you can't find what's overriding the wi-fi. I use the widgestoid app for this type of stuff. It's similar to the native power control widget but it's much more customizable.

I used the cheesecake version to get to 5.5.893 but I'm pretty sure its released officially though. The leaked version is up to 5.7.893 but 5.5.893 should be official now. If you put everything back to stock 886 with all system files intact and all bloat apps still there, you should be able to go to system updates on your phone and update it directly from verizon.
+1 for widgetsoid btw.

Thanks for the suggestions. There is a widget in Liberty ROM that seems to do the same. I like that juicedefender turns on my wifi automatically at home, so itll be annoying that I have to turn off the data manually, but whatever. I'll get my wife to install a similar widget if it is necessary.

My wife's Bionic is stock, so Ill have her try it. She checked a few nights ago to no avail. I love Liberty (and want to try out Shift3r), so I am reluctant. Seems there are alot of ways to brick the phone when upgrading kernel and radio, so I dont want to jump in too deep without reading stuff first. But thats just the kind of guy I am...
thanks again!

If you would consider going back to stock ROM, this mod is amazing.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ry-rest-my-my-mods-included-2.html#post107334
it has the extended power menu as well as toggles built right into your notification pulldown menu. There's a wifi toggle AND a data toggle (which ONLY cuts off data, not service)

I see nothing wrong with the Stock ROM. All the mods that liberty has, i can build right into my stock ROM.

If you cant get the 5.5.893 update naturally, you can follow this guide to get there (ignore the name).

And if you don't want root, just skip step 2 and 3.

Its not. Verizon hasn't pushed any updates to the Bionic yet. 5.5.886 is still "current".
Hi, all. Ok, so since my november I have been waiting for Z3 compact root and great news of recent.
Since november, I have only used my phone just to make calls, after a major balls up when I flashed a firmware via flashtool without backing up. And even though technically, it should not have not wiped my data, it did.
I had some very precious and sentimental wedding images and 3 4k videos on the internal memory. (didn't have a sd card at that time) So, did not want to overwrite any new data.
Today, after rooting, I could use undelete type software with root access to recover my images. After all the waiting non of the *Top* apps worked!! wth. So, disappointed, some of u may laugh.
Anybody got any suggestions please. Any quality pro style apps, like used for PC recovery. Recovery on a low level perhaps (if possible)
I tried diskdigger, undeleter, recuva, hexamob, wondershare.
Please, anybody
Thanks for reading

Sorry, but you won't get them back...
That's why I try to get pictures saved to my laptop as soon as I'm home, regardless of all this automatic cloud saving.
Edit:
And: saving to ext sd or finding an option in an app to do so first place.

Habit ?
Was in a similar situation when I had to put one of our dogs to final sleep. Very nice and emotional pictures, I lost them due to flashing the next or other days. The wife saved them with her own, real camera. That's what always reminds me to save important pictures.
Anybody else. I waited a long while to not use my phone after my mess up. There has got to be a way to retrieve data off my phone even if I have flashed it.
I'm sure forensic experts could find such images etc.
PC data can be recovered even after so many wipes, there must me someone here with some expertise?
Please can someone help?
i lost my data 2 days ago after using flashtool to flash a ROM,so now i put my data into sdcard

Thats too bad . But I see on TV shows all the time, using sophisticated software to recover data all the time. I'm sure this is possible somehow. My photo's are very very important to get back.
I always hear that PC HDD and phones people sell are very easy to find the data from.
People do not know that they are not always fully wiped.
Hook your phone up to your PC and try the several programs for the PC available for android internal storage restoration, just google a bit you will find tutorials and what not.
If you have not overwritten the files they might still be there. If you overwrote them i fear they are lost.

well,yes,PC data can find back easily,but if the data was covered by new data,it is hard to find back either on PC or phones
if your phone haven't cover new data,then i could say good luck to you and wish you find someway
I don't know if you can recover those files at home, but maybe guys like http://www.krollontrack.co.uk can do it.
It probably won't be cheap though.
Hey everyone,
I got a Note 4 when they first came out and have been having a lot of issues with it every since. At first it was just signal issues where i was missing calls/voice mails, texts, etc, especially compared to my Note 3. I think started having issues with my phone freezing, heating up, etc. I am thinking about restarting my phone and reloading programs to see if things get better. My problem is that i still have my phone stock and non-rooted due to needing Knox for work. Any programs that you can recommend that i can backup my apps and its data? I am used to using TB for my rooted phone but i am not sure what i can use for a non rooted phone. I basically trying to reload my apps (side loaded and ones i got from the playstore) but also not lose data if i can help it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

So without root, there is not a way to backup apps and their data?
This thread talks about that:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices
I use an app called Helium Premium by ClockworkMod, which works great for saving apps and data on unrooted phones. I recommend it highly.
I second the recommendation of Helium. It is about the only way to back up all app data without rooting. You do need to hook the phone up to a computer to enable it. The free version can back up to SD, but the paid version will backup to cloud drives like Dropbox. You can also go straight from one phone to another.
