wifi settings should be stored on the /data partition. i've read, if you tell google to backup your settings, they will also backup your wifi settings. when the wifi settings restore, they should be coming from the google backup.
the toggle for google to backup settings and to automatically restore them are under Settings -> Privacy. Labeled, Back up my settings and Automatic restore.
hopefully thats the correct information as i haven't actually used/tested these features, only read about them.
Thanks, I thought that was the setting.... Still not working though, I wonder if its just the ROM.

on the og droid, I don't remember having to keep setting up wifi. this time, it is not being saved, and neither are free apps. I certainly wouldn't think this is normal. every rom here requires me to use titanium backup or manually search and add, and type out long wifi pw.
Use google search

that did not answer my q. google, samsung, or devs need to work this out. I have sync and restore set right. thanks for trying!
I hope it works on the next big phone. this one has been a dissapointment.

Really. Just because you have to type out a wifi password, it's a disappointment. Wow.

Settings > privacy > check back up data and automatic restore
Running ICScrewD ROM
In the settings > privacy tab there are these options :
Backup my data
Automatic restore
What exactly do these do? Does keeping them activated use more battery and processing power? Is it recommended to uncheck them?

First copies all your app's data to Google servers on every sync.
Second restores (copy back from servers to your phone) that data when you reinstall your apps after a factory reset.

What kind of data? I don't have anything critically important on my phone. Maybe passwords on websites and that's it. Is that part of the data it backs up?
Is it important to have this on?

Contacts, wifi passwords and such. I turn it on when I add a new contact etc just to double make sure it gets backed up.
Other than that I permanently leave both options off.

Does it drain battery when left on?

A bit but I'm not sure how frequent or often it syncs with Google.

I am running Foxhound 1.1 right now. I am already using Titanium Backup to restore all the user app data when flashing to a newer version of Foxhound. However I still lose certain system settings such as power savings and setting all notifications to vibrate and other miscellaneous stuff under the settings menu. My biggest gripe is having to manually move selected apps back to the home screen. Is there anyway to restore these settings quickly after updating to a new ROM?
I have heard that it's not advisable to restore system data using Titanium Backup so I've only stuck to restoring user app data for now. I also keep my phone backed up to and restore from my Google account so contacts and other stuff are ported over fine. I'd just really like a way to keep all my system settings and not have to manually tweak everything again. Thanks!
Are you using touchwiz as your default launcher? If you use an alternative launcher like Apex or Nova you can make a backup of your desktop configuration

No I am using Apex! Really? Let me go check that out.. Thanks for the tip. I hadn't seen that option yet.. Whoops.
Ok I backed up my Apex settings and Desktop to the SD card! :fingers-crossed: How about keeping system settings? It would be nice if I didn't have to manually turn off haptic feedback and the other stuff every time.

I'm not sure smaller system settings like that can be backed up and restored :/

Ah that's alright then. The most pressing issue was to restore the placement of homescreen icons. Thanks for the tip man.
Either use titanium for your apps and then alter the layout to your liking or, perform an advanced back up of data from Cwm, do a full wipe, then cache and dalvic. Flash the rom. Allow it to boot then, go back to recovery and advanced restore data. Should work fine although the cleanest way is to do a full wipe and allow the apps to restore themselves, you'll lose application data that way though.

Calls work, SMS works, but no dice on browser unless using WiFi.
nothing listed under available networks other than Default setup which looks grey
Make sure mobile data is checked.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
still nothing
I verified that mobile data is checked - tried turning airplane mode on and off, rebooted several times.
do you have a list of what the proper apn settings are?

I would suggest trying a factory reset. Just make sure that you save any data that you want to keep, like messages, contacts and stuff like that before you try to reset.
Also found this video that might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNnJnjabXdU

Hey guys,
Facing a really odd issue. My s3 keeps on setting 127.0.0.1:3128 as a proxy for all wifi connections. I did complete format and still it is setting it automatically and does not allow me to browse Web due to that.
Any I've else having this issue or knows a solution for this? ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
There isn't an option to set a proxy in wifi settings, you'll have to explain the problem better.
Alternatively flash the latest stock rom using odin and then factory reset, this will reset the phone to a default state.

Well, never knew that option was there. Mine is set to none, if you can't change yours or it won't stick then your rom is probably corrupt, like most glitches which appear. Wipe and reflash.
