Everytime I start tethering with my phone it reboots, does anyone know why?
When life sucks I just enjoy the head
Try factory reset if that doesn't work send the phone in.

What are you using to tether? APN, WiFi Tether, Barnacle, etc.? Which ROM are you using?

Yeah...........great advice there!
I have a weird problem where,after a couple days, my wifi just stops working. When i turn it on, it just cuts off after about 40 seconds. Normally(when working) it will show a list of available wifi networks,but now will show nothing(when I know im by numerous networks)
This has happened couple times before, and just passed it off as a quirk. Now is the 3rd time,and the only way i have found to fix it, is to do a factory reset. Surely i cant keep doing that(and having to resinstall all apps)
anybody has an idea of what problem could be?
(LTE works fine,and im not doing anything strange when all of a sudden it just quits on me)
so basicaly im trying to find a way to reset the radio, without resetting the whole phone....
Try flashing just the radio in cwm

Once you have cwm no. Until then if you Odin a radio I believe it will trip.

Hello,
I was told there was an update for the Samsung Galaxy S and I have the mesmeris from US Cellular.
I downloaded the walk through for it and pulled the battery our and got in to download mode with no problems. I followed the instructions and it said it was downloading it to my phone. Then right around 99 percent it said error on my computer. and my phone just stayed at 99% or well the bar was like almost to the end on the download mode screen. I unplugged the USB and pulled the battery again and tried the whole thing over. Same thing. When I went to boot the phone up it showed a "phone" - ! - "Computer" symbol. So I downloaded odin and tried to wipe everything back to the original. now when i put the battery in instead of booting up, it shows an AT&T world phone and will stay on that screen. It wont let me get back in to the download mode again. Can someone please help me out? I am so lost about this and would like to try and get this fixed :/

You mean the wrong update from the samgung site?
Any Idea how to get it back to US Cellular so it is not saying AT&T?
It wont let me get to the download mode now. Every time I try it nothing happens and it just shows a white screen with a globe and says AT&T World Phone

i have a htc evo 4g that was given to me. but it had a pattern lock on it. i called my friend that gave it to me and tried to get the pattern from him. but he couldnt remember it either bc after the power button broke on it it got another phone.
is there a program that i can use to hard reset the phone?
So I'm not sure if you are referring to the OG Evo, or the Evo LTE. Either way, the pattern passwords have alternative to unlock them. If you fail about 5-10 times (maybe more...I haven't tested it lately), it will prompt you for your email and password. Ask your friend about his default email, and possibly let him enter the information himself if he wants his info to remain private.
You can always plug it in to a PC that has ADB installed and try rebooting to either the bootloader or recovery. Not sure if that will work with the screen lock on but it's worth a shot.

he has told me he doesnt remember his email or his password. he said he has changed emails multiple times due to being hacked. :/
im downloading sdk and adb on my laptop now. and going to attempt to reset that way.
-edit..
i cant get adb to recognize the phone.. there has to be a way to get this to work.
Go into fastboot, then recovery. Do a factory reset, and flash a ROM.

I just realized that. Adb doesn't see your phone? Try connecting through wifi. That's how I usually do it. There's an app
Edit: make sure you've enabled network ADB in developer settings

thats my problem the phone is password locked and i have no email. bc my friend gave it to me and he forgot his email for this phone.
so i cant get past the lock screen. i know this can be done without a power button, ive seen it done before. but i cant remember how to do it. soon as i can get it factory reset i can handle the no power button problem.

Right, sorry, keeping forgetting. What exactly is wrong with the power button? And what error are you seeing with ADB?

the button has completely broken off of the mother board. i have the button, which i might have to fix to get anything done im guessing.
If the phone every shuts down completely from lack of battery, how will you turn it on then? Also, I guess repair isn't an option? Eg warranty and repair center.
Can't your friend recover the email account?

I'm pretty sure he plugs it into the charger then it turns on automatically I'm assuming

Yes I can get the phone to boot up. But nothing pasted the lock screen. I think my only option would be take it to the local phone repair store. And my friend has changed email so many times due to being hacked he can't remember his email when he had the evo.

How do you still get it to boot if it is off/dies?
And by the way, do you have access to a Linux computer? Linux has absolutely no problem recognizing Android (Linux based). Also, I'm not 100% sure if you will get any computer to recognize it via ADB without having USB debugging checked off in Developer Options.

Titanium Backup (ROOT) has a boot to recovery option, that should give you access to adb and/or fastboot.
He can't get past the lock screen password. Read the OP. Sorry to be too blunt.

If it's on the lock screen, can you get it on any wlan? Unsecured that it automatically connects to? If so, you can install apps via your browser in Google play. Given that the Google account on the phone is accessible from the browser.. That could open doors...

That won't work either. To install apps from the browser, the OP will have to be signed in from the former user's email that is registered with the phone. However, the owner no longer remembers which email is linked to the phone.

I tried that, I tried everything. Even flashing a new firmware, non worked. I went to a local store, and he also flashed a firmware for me and he said the WiFi part itself isn't working, so I will have to pay about 110$ to fix it. I don't know, it was working perfectly, I went to the bathroom and then went back to chat with my friends and found it off. I really have no idea why this happened.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
If you have android 4.2.2 xxufme3 on i9300..then change it because it has wifi problem..
