Yes. It didn't help. Samsung wants me to do a factory reset but I don't have the time or patience to put everything back together. And I still don't know if it will fix the problem!

You can factory reset without losing data. Flash latest rom using home_csc and you will retain your settings and apps .
If that doesn't fix it, then do the same but flash regular csc which will wipe data and settings.
Games, apps, ECT are mainly all cloud based now anyways. The only things that you need to manually setup are device specific settings really. If you have a problem but aren't willing to do troubleshooting then there's nothing anyone can really do.
Alternatively, enable developer settings and verify your settings matches the one I highlighted in red. That may help.

My suggestion would be to wipe data, possible flash back to stock, or just wipe data and play around with some different radio's. I've had similar issues, not as bad as yours, but different radio seemed to fix it.
I'm in in canada, east, on telus. I'm using the fascinate with galaxy i9000 rom/kernel/radio. I find the best radio's to be the KG2, KG3, and KC3.
Have you used any apps to disable permissions? like autostarts, one time I had an issue where my phone wouldn't dial any calls in my own area code. I found out it was autostarts, and a permission I had enabled.
-Maniac
Think that permissions are enabled, as far as I can see.
Problem is that I'm noob on this area, I got this phone with darky on it.
When you say to wipe data, on which data do you mean and how to do that?
how to flash? Where can I find stock rom and some tutorial?
thank you

I would start with testing some different modems. This is pretty simple, and might just fix your problem.
When I say wipe, I mean a factory reset. I'm not familier with that rom, but in the settings their should be something to do a factory reset.
A sure way would be to boot clockworkmod, select the option to do a wipe/factory reset.
Note, both of the above methods will wipe your apps/data. Perhaps your SDcard as well. So if anything is important, I would do a backup.
Perhaps you should do a nandroid backup anyways, just incase it don't fix your problem and you won't waste any more time have to reinstall everything and set it all up again.

[Q] Help! Post-boot reboot loop after installing JB WiFi Tether

I'm running stock 4.4 on my rooted Sprint HTC One.
I've been trying out tethering apps to try to find one that works. After failing with several of them, I came to JB WiFi Tether. It also didn't work (simply prompted me to choose a tethering plan). I had read a review that suggested it might work after rebooting. It did not.
Now, I've uninstalled it, but my phone reboots itself roughly 90-120 seconds after booting, every time. I've wiped dalvik and cache in TWRP, to no effect.
What next? I'm not opposed to doing a factory reset if that will fix it.

Save all of your personal data off of the phone and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then you may have to re-install the stock firmware and/or stock rom.

Thanks very much for the response! Should I do factory reset from the bootloader or from TWRP (is there a difference)?
Basically everything is saved since I did a backup in HTC Sync Manager very recently.

I would do it from TWRP, because it will warn you if it wiped your OS. I would use the bootloader if I was completely stock.

Thanks again! The factory reset seems to have done the job, thankfully. :highfive:
I'm so glad to be back in business. Now if I could just get tethering to work.

Data connection error

Throughout the day my data connection stops working even though it says it's connected in the status bar. If I toggle airplane mode everything returns to normal. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it? I've reflashed a kernel, I wiped cache and dalvik, and I fixed permissions. I'm on DynamicKat and AEL kernel. Thanks for your help.

I got bored today, so did some snooping around. From my perspective and excluding the things you've tried, I recommend you refresh the APN settings and reboot. If you need the settings,just google and you'll find what you need in short order.
Otherwise try wiping the cache in recovery. Last, more drastic, would be to flash to a prior nand or just reflash the ROM.
Hope you get it sorted out. Nothing worse than having our babies on the fritz.

Thanks for the help. No change so far. I've tried everything you suggested expect for reflashing the rom. Any other ideas before I have to do the seemingly inevitable reflash?

maybe try just flashing the system img, then wipe cache's again before booting. if that doesnt work, its may be time for the dreaded fdr.
I've never been into flashing system img & fdr? It's just sad because I had the same issue before also losing signal with my device. Til I got a replacement and the replacement device is starting to act up also.

my only other suggestion would be to re-flash. you could try just the system partition, but if it were me i would just go all in for full clean flash.
im sure Simms will get on me for saying so, but you can just grab wugs toolkit and be done in 20min or so.

I've never flashed before i know from what i hear its really easy for Nexus devices. but i'm just curious what would of caused this like from my first N6 since December and it acts up now in Sept and having the replacement N6 acting up the same way.
Is it rooted with mods or completely stock? If stock, try deleting the saved wireless networks..

these random issues usually come from a corrupt file, either by an update or some other means. its hard to impossible to pinpoint the cause usually.
if you never flashed before, its best to read up on it a bit first. wugs walks you through the steps, from downloading the files, and drivers, to the flashing. its not foolproof, but if you follow the lead of the script, its not hard to figure out.

well i have before but that was so long ago and that was for my MyTouch and HTC Sensation but that was years ago. Now I know things are easier but I've never really been into flashing and the only reason I did back then was for updates and different version of Sense UI but since I've been using Nexus Devices I didn't have a need or desire to actually flash. Pretty much I'm a NOOB! :laugh:
but I don't see why wouldn't a factory reset fix it. even if it was temp.

a factory reset only deletes data, it does not restore any of the file system to its original state.

clearing the cache is always a good idea, i think i suggested that earlier.
i dont know how to explain well what cache is exactly, its not part of the file system, its more like temp data storage i believe.

def of cache from google
"In cell phones and networks, a cache usually refers to a memory storage area in the phone or network that stores copies of information that is likely to be needed in the near future, so it can be accessed faster."
i dont know how to flash with a chrome book, if possible. sorry

thats pretty consistent with what i said earlier. these type of issues frequently arise after updates. files dont update exactly right and something gets corrupted.

Question S21+ Locked in Airplane mode

While traveling my phone rebooted itself on the plane and has locked me out. When I swipe to enter my lock screen code it accepts it but goes back to the lock screen. Is there a way to break the lock screen without wiping the phone data?
Rooted?
First mistake, putting a lock on it.
I've gotten locked out of PC bios when they got corrupted.
Lesson learned: as soon as you set a device password you set yourself up for a lockout. It may be no fault of your own except that you enabled it!
Hardware and software failures are easier to resolve if no passwords are set.
That goes double for data encryption.
The KISS principal ruthlessly applies here.
No

Try clearing the system cache
At least you can do a factory reset if you must.
Guess you could try Safe Mode too... never know.
More options maybe available but that's above the level of my knowledge, sorry.

Thanks. I've tried clearing the cache and going to safe mode. I am hoping I don't have to wipe it hasn't backed up my photos of contacts since March. I'm trying to save them.

Maybe try logging in with your Samsung or Google account?
Try a hard reboot.
Keep playing with it.
They seem to like attention
This is case where a SD card would have been nice to preserve the critical data. Moving forward get a .5 tb flash stick to do weekly backups.
Lessons learned. I'll keep trying to break in.
