data problems? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My friend has an HTC Droid Eris and it was running slow so she did a factory reset through the settings menu and after that she said her phone ran a lot smoother and faster but there's one problem. Her internet is not working and her multimedia messaging isn't working. what should she do to get this fixed? She is on stock 2.1 and her phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance for the help!

If your friend performed a factory reset using the stock 2.1 software then the activation status of the phone was also cleared, and the phone needs to be reactivated.
Dial *228 and select option 1 when prompted.

Well her texts and calls and everything is working. Just not the mms and internet

Text and calls => 1x/RTT
MMS and Internet => Mobile Network
Perhaps she inadvertently toggled off the Mobile network? ( The stock ROMs have a toggle for it not only using either the HTC widget and the Android "Power Controls" widget, but also at the long-press of the End/Power button. )

I'm going to her house in a little bit so I will try both solutions

I tried both solutions, neither of them worked. Should I just root her phone and put a custom rom on it?

I'm guessing some of the data settings somehow got wiped out.
It may be a good idea to call up verizon and get someone in tech support or take the phone to a store. (Not that I don't want to help, there could be a number of problems going on here.)
If data will not work on stock then it will not work for a custom rom.

You could try re-performing the F/R on the off chance something strange happened - and if the mobile network does not come up, call Verizon repair. I would pursue that course of action before I started rooting a phone that seemed to not be working with stock software.

[Q] MMS stuck at Downloading (ATT)

Hey guys,
I have had my Vibrant for about 3 weeks and just started encountering the problem today. I received an MMS but it is stuck in downloading. I had no problems before today, and nothing has changed. I tried rebooting the phone. I tried turning off automatic retrieval and manually downloading the message.
Any suggestions?

I can't send them either
try it with STOCK music player first, then see if it works.
Are you on 3g? Might be an issue when the phone switches between edge and 3g
Yes I'm on 3g with full bars.

It is on. And I am able to use all other internet including email. Just not MMS
Bump
Vibrant + Bionix + Bali
Have you tried going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>click on "all">scrool down and find messaging>clear data. Worth a try.

Have you tried a factory reset or Odin and reflash? Looks like that's what to try next.
Also, when you locate messaging in manage applications there should be an option to turn on compatibility mode. Maybe try that??

Check your SMTP server settings.
That was the first thing I did. Tried them every way possible. May go back to different rom.
Are you on wifi trying to send?
I only ask because I had the same issue, until I realized my gmail smtp settings wouldn't work while I was using my home wifi network.
I know I know, silly mistake. But hey, they happen

Go to application management & clean cache & data of the app, restart & retry? Might work.

What rom you're using has no bearing on it. Your settings are incorrect.

CM 10 MMS problems

I am having problems sending mms via wifi. surprisingly it works for regular data. I have research and reseached, and so far it seems like it could be the APN settings. I researched more, and i couldnt find sufficient info on changing these settings if this is the case. Can someone please help me?

Really? Post a pic of the stock messaging app settings. Are you using a 3rd party sms app?

I just use handcent and it works for me.

[Q] No mobile data after factory reset

I'm currently using a carrier unlocked Verizon S4 with my AT&T sim. It was working fine, I was getting HSPA+. I decided to factory reset it today to clear up all the junk and now the data doesn't work. I get service and I can make calls, just no mobile data. I used the same APN settings I had before the restore. Tried turning mobile data on/off as well. Not sure what could be wrong. Any help appreciated.

One time with my gs4 I could not get data to work at all. for some reason I could send a picture and it would an show 4G to send the pic then not work at all after that. Could you have possibly have a sim card go bad?

I put the sim back into my GNex and it works fine.
There is another issue. Before factory resetting the phone, the time on the status bar wouldn't update. Only the clock/weather widget updated. So, mobile data worked before the reset, but the clock didn't. After the reset, clock works but no mobile data. There has to be a connection.

Stock rom. The only thing I did was a custom recovery (TWRP) and rooted using this method.
Update: I restored it to when data was working and now the clock syncs up fine. Just need to figure out why the mobile data doesn't work when I factory reset.

I have tried to get this to work but can't. It will flash fine and the theme will stick but as soon as I make a call a message pops up saying "call not sent" and it will exit out of the phone application. Did you do anything special to get it to work?

That could be it. I never used flash tool. However I did find that the at&t port of this works just fine on sprint, using it now.

At&t port does not have that problem either - for me anyway. So far everything works. I am deodexed on Sprint - just flashed it in twrp, wiped dalvik and cache afterwards.

Does this work with the G3 tweaks box themes?
AT&T version seemed to work. #1 is still mis aligned if you pull up dialer while on a call. Haven't tested how it works if I receive a call ( which was my issue before ). After I rebooted, turned tweakbox themes back on and it's cool so far.

Wiping dalvik and cache didn't stop It from fc'ing when opening settings.

I dont know why, I don't have that issue at all. On the international one I had the call not sent if I tried to make a call. At&t didnt have that issue for me and same with settings. I've had no fcing since flashing this one. Tested every option. Im also using tweaksbox but not system themes, I've been using holo themer for system settings and such. Only problem I had was black text in certain respects(like when trying to attach a picture in hangout, I couldn't see the text). I have since opened up the zip and deleted settings.apk, framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk and reflashed. I just wanted the phone and contacts blacked out - holo themer worked on contacts but the phone only had a black tab at the top, the background was still white with holo. On my dialer the 1 is not misaligned even in a call, so I really have no idea on that one either. Weird stuff, but that's the nature of LG. The Lgog was the same way, same model phone but different people had very different reactions to the same things.
Let's just say gremlins are responsible, lol.
