Subject is supposed to day can't receive text messages sorry.
I recently went back to the March2011OTA for the eris and didn't like it. I then re-rooted and flashed the latest version of GSB 2.7. Now I can send text messages but can't receive them. I can't figure out what I did wrong. Tried updating my roaming but that didn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
1. Download "APN OnOff" from the market and install it.
2. Run it and and choose "Show APN list" in the middle of the screen.
3. Press the Menu soft key and choose "Reset to default" on the right.
4. You can try it again now, if this doesn't work, reboot and try again.
If that doesn't work:
A. Download and install "APN Backup and Restore" from the market.
B. Download the zip file I have attached.
C. Unzip it and copy or move the "ApnBackupRestore" folder it creates (and the folder's contents) in the root of the SD card.
D. Run APN Backup and Restore and choose "Delete APNs". Then choose "Restore APNs" and restore them from the xml file I gave you, which should automatically be listed when you choose that.
Once again, you can try before and after a reboot. Hopefully one of these methods works for you.
FYI the APN backup I attached is from a version of xtrSENSE that was based off the July OTA (probably xtrSENSE v4.5 through 4.6.5). Fresh from a boot, without having done anything else first.
Thank you so much
tried method one and it didn't work trying number 2 now but
apparently there is no ApnBackupRestore folder
so I created on and APN Backup and Restore still can't find it. Ugh!
I will keep trying and keep you posted.
Thanks again

Did you create the folder with the same capitalization as I posted? Another way to create the appropriately named folder is to make a backup of your current APNs from APN Backup and Restore, then place the APN file you downloaded in that folder. Make sure and delete any APN folder you created before to avoid confusion in the future.
I suppose I should re-create the zip to include the folder so that when it's unzipped, it'll create the folder, too.
Hope that works for you.
Edit: I changed it with the folder name for the future. The archive above has the new zip file with the APN backup file in the appropriate folder.
Ok got the folder and was able to restore the APN. Still can't receive texts. This is frustrating.

Did you try rebooting?
I feel like a real pest. Thank you again for helping me.
I did reboot and still no good. When I go into APNONOFF it just says "off" and when I click show APNs there is nothing there.

If you were a pest I wouldn't try to help you. You're welcome.
Did you still try to do the following step?
Press the Menu soft key and choose "Reset to default" on the right.

You can still do that even if it doesn't list an APN. I've seen that before and it helped me, but I never had the texting problem, I used these as a solution for tethering problems, but some people have had success fixing their texting problems with at least the second method, and maybe some the first, also.

So, I am running the latest version of the Evil Eris rom and I am having issues downloading MMS pictures. I keep getting that download error or what not. I did the step listed here(twice), but that did not work for me. Is there anything else I could possibly do fix this issue?
Have you tried using "APN Backup & Restore"? You would:
1. Load a ROM where MMS works.
2. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
3. Use the app to perform an APN backup.
4. Reload the ROM you want to get MMS working on.
5. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
6. Use the app to delete the APNs on that ROM.
7. Use the app to restore the APN backup made in step #3
8. Reboot.
I haven't personally done this and so I can't vouch for it's effectiveness, but I have seen that a number of folks have done this to successfully rectify MMS issues.
I dunno that seem like a bit of a chore to do, I was hoping for something a bit more simplified.

Ain't going to get any simpler than that. You can always switch to another rom
Alyosius works well, as does plainjane...

Oh, I guess I am out of luck at the moment then.
Use xtrSense 4.0.6.1.
Just as many sweet features as EvilEris, more stable, and other than pinch-zoom Google Maps and the sweet copy/paste Browser, it's better than EvilEris, IMO.
The rom you are suggestion doesn't have the same cut and paste as the current rom I am using? One thing I like about my current rom is color scheme.

there is a working apn floating around here if u use the search button ,, find that , download apn backup/restore ,, put that apn in the apn folder that is created on ur sd card , open app , delete old apn , restore backup apn ,, done
I clicked "Reset to Default" on the Apn menu and then they all disappered and i cannot connect. There used to be like 5 different apns. Is there a way to retrieve them back, i am no longer able to connect to the data.
Hi, are you using Market Enabler or other app that change operator code? Try disabling it, restart the phone and then try to reset.

If you can get wifi, go to the market and download apn backup and restore. It comes with a whole bunch of apn's and should be able to restore the ones you're missing. If you have an sd card, you have to copy the apnbackuprestore folder to the internal phone memory, or else it wont see the backup..

I installed APn Back up and Restore but it wont let me restore my apn since i have not backups saved. If you have an atrix would you mind making a backup of your and upload the file backup file here so i can restore. I WOULD VERY THANKFUL

Strange, when i installed apn back up and restore it came with an .xml file that had 900+ apns.. I can try to post it, but just take a look in your apnbackuprestore folder, if you have an sd card, copy that folder to the internal phone memory..
Unzip the file first, then place in your apnbackuprestore folder.
you would have your apn's back by now if you have typed them in. how lazy can you be? Also, most pseudo roms and scripts install them.

No need to flame this post... Apns can be kind of tricky, especially if you make one little error.. Then nothing works. I don't blame him for wanting a simpler way of restoring the apn, after typing in the information by hand 20+ times, I found a much easier way of doing it.
Ok i got connect again, thanks to you guys. I am currently connected "AT&T US HSDPA", is it any different then just the "AT&T" apn? Also I used to get a H+ logo, but now i only get H (I am on gingerblur), it because of the settings or just do not have 4g right now?

I was following Max_Pain's guide to get 3g and mms working on my evo 3d for metro pcs. I downloaded the epst.apk he posted and put it in the system/app folder, but when I reboot and put in the ##data# to edit some stuff it didnt do anything. Is there a way to fix this? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
That only works on GB and below, is that what you're on?

No i'm on ics. I just downloaded the android revolution rom i'm on and got the epst.apk from the system/app folder there. thnx for the reply though.
I also wanted to know, I want to flash another rom, but that changes the APN setting right? (Thats what my friend tells me) So is there a way to back up the apns on ics that isn't using apn backup & restore?

You could always manually copy the original apn file and place it on your sdcard. I know its a bummer, ics wont allow third party apps to write to it. Then you could just copy that backup onto the new rom you flash in the folder it is located in. I am not quite sure where this file is located.

so the apn's are just all in one file? I mean i can make a backup of the apn's wit the app. Saves it as an xml. But idk how I would restore it from that if ics won't let 3rd party apps write....
Hey everyone. So I wanted to try out the vanilla root box ROM today and after a while of checking it out I decided to swap back to the back up I made before doing the ROM install. Problem is, when I boot into recovery, and press restore...non of my backups are there. Can anyone help? Where did my back ups go?
ok, sorry guys, i was on my phone at a friends place when i posted this thread so i wasnt able to search to much on google. so the deal is my TWRP isnt seeing the backups i did after i rooted my note 2 and the backup i did before i flashed my vanilla rootbox rom. kinda weird. anyways, i looked thru my phone files with file manager and the backups are indeed there...
does anyone know where i need to move these files to have them show up under restore in TWRP? i tried one method of making another backup and then moving the backups to where the new backup was stored. but when i go to look, the new backup doesnt show in file manager in the location where TWRP said the backup was stored...i even searched for it and still no dice. lmk if you have a fix for this. thanks!
i also went into TWRP, went to advanced, file manager, data, media, twrp, backups, the back i was looking for was there.
i tried moving it to the media/0 location like mentioned in this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ziillAA-I
it doesnt let me copy the folder over like shown in the vid. waited like 3 mins, then says it failed. then wont even try after each attempt afterwards, just goes straight to fail....
WHAT THE DEUCE!?
Ima connect the phone to my laptop and see if I can locate the newest backup I made and see about moving the older ones to that location. Seen if they show up. If anyone knows the actual location or fix for this do let me know. Seems that the newest version of twrp was suppose to fix this but I guess not.
ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
ok just to confirm, my first nandroid backup flashes correctly. but the backup i made before i flashed the vanilla rootbox rom some reasno fails...i dunno. im just happy i got my backups to show up now. and at least one works. ima try and get the one backup to work again but well see. hope this thread helps someone out if they are having this same problem.

Sorry I am late to the party... But in twrp at the top of the screen you can change where to get the backup from its a bar that says data(xxxx) however much space you have left.. Tap it and you can. Go from internal to external memory and search any folder. Doesn't have to be in the twrp backup folder either... Just for future references... Again sorry probably could have saved you time and effort if I saw this earlier.

Sorry, but what part of the screen are you tapping? I can select between different drives, but I don't see any directory in there (and neither the classic two dots to go one directory back). I am using 2.7

Follow instructions in post 8.
For fellow googlers out there: if, like me, TWRP shows only the "internal storage" and the "SD card" options but you can't see any folder, even though your backup is there, check if it's the serial number of the phone! Your backup should be in TWRP/Backups/<serial number>/Name of the backup. If you saved your backup in another phone, you need to check the serial number and rename the folder with the serial number.

In fact, the correct path where all your disk image files (data.ext4.win etc.) have to be stored, is /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number>/<name of folder with disk image files>, so BACKUPS in capital letters.
TWRP does not "find" your backup otherwise (tested with 2.8).

restorimg data error when I performe a restore for your rom. Why?
Hey, guys!! I love Titanium Backup Pro. It works amazingly well every time I flash to a new ROM. I also like to restore my user apps and date via the "update.zip" option in Titanium Backup. Now, every time I create the update.zip file, it's by default placed in /storage/sdcard0/. I have searched and searched through the preferences of the app and I can't find an answer to this question: Is it possible to change the default path of where the update.zip is placed when it's created? Namely, I'd like to have it created/placed right to a specific folder on my SD card located at /storage/extSdCard/Backup/.
Any feedback/answers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I see no option like this unless I too have over looked it. I'd say that after creating the update.zip you'll have to manually move it to your desired location.

Going into preferences, then backup folder location, then clicking on detect won't let you do that?

No. That's where I can choose where to backup my apps to but I can't find where to choose where to place the update.zip file that's created when I zip up my current app backups.
