My eris no longer recieves SMS messages (sending works) and no longer works for GPS. I toggle GPS on and off and on however maps or navigation or any other app dont connect to it. I have flashed multiple roms to try to solve this and its the same problem with each rom (is something wrong with the hardware). Ive tried KaosFroyo v39, 38, 35, 32 and KaosGingerbread v6. Same problems with all.
Any ideas? Thanks for help.

Two things to try:
First, download and install off the market two apps: "APN OnOff" (exactly like that) and "GPS Status".
Run APN OnOff, choose "Show APN list", press Menu and choose "Reset to default". If this doesn't help, let me know and I'll offer another suggestion.
For GPS Status, press Menu and choose Tools and then "Manage A-GPS state". Then press Reset and then Download.
Note that from Menu you can choose Settings then "GPS & Sensors" and from there you can "Auto-download APGS data", and select how often it will automatically download fresh data. Ever since I used this, I have a lot less trouble with the GPS under any ROM with working GPS.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the help. APN OnOff did not seem to do anything, nothing is fixed after trying that. GPS status force closes everytime i try to open it so i cant do anything with that.
Any other suggestions?

Try something besides Kaos just to rule out something in KF (I wouldn't base anything on whether things work in KG yet - it's way too early.)
In fact, try xtrSENSE - something close to stock. If that works, it's obviously not the hardware; if you still want to try Froyo, try another Froyo build to see if one of them works better. If it doesn't, you may want to unroot with Flashback21 and bring it to Verizon, to see if they can fix it or will replace the phone.
Are you doing a full data wipe and testing on a clean ROM install when you do all of these installs? Sorry to ask an obvious question, but you didn't mention it.
Yes I am doing a clean wipe before i flash each rom. I didnt just switch to kaosfroyo ive been using it for many months and all of a sudden it stopped working. I will try xtrasense to see if that fixes anything. Unrooting and taking to verizon is my backup choice. Is there a link to a thread on how to unroot and return to stock?
Thanks for the help
To return back to stock, I'd use the ROM Flashback21, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
You should be able to just flash it and it will remove Amon's Recovery and install stock Eris 2.1.

So far as I can remember, the GPS Status app has worked correctly on every "stable" ROM that I have used (but it has been a while since I had a KF ROM on my phone).
If it doesn't work on a near-stock ROM, that might suggest that you have a hardware problem. I don't know why SMS/1x would be at all related to the GPS issue, though.
I would take doogald's advice - unroot the phone, perform a factory reset (so the phone gets deactivated), and then re-activate it and see if the problems persist. If they do, then your phone is already set up for a return.
I have been running CELBFroyo 4 since it came out. I also had the same thing happen with messaging. I restored to an earlier nand, still nothing. I have tried tazz and kaos today. I will look for the apn on off. Thanks!

That is an interesting observation. Is this the sequence you used:
- Flashback21
- Factory Reset (to deactivate)
- Activate
- ( manual PRL update w/ *228 ?)
- Verify SMS working using Factory ROM
- Flash custom ROM & verify SMS working there also
I'm wondering (out loud) if what you were experiencing was a problem with an outdated PRL.
What about GPS? Did it start working again as well? I suppose that could also be a PRL issue - for instance if an outdated PRL was preventing aGPS initialization from the carrier.
If you have Nandroid backups of the KF ROMs you were having trouble with, you would be doing the Eris community a service by restoring one of those ROMs and then reporting whether your SMS/GPS service was fixed. (Obviously, you would want to make a Nandroid backup of whatever you have on the phone now, so you could reload it if you want.)

Just out of curiosity, in case you check back on this thread, did you install the Flashback ROM with or without the radio? If so, I wonder if updating the radio was part of the fix.
I will nandrestore to Kaos and let you know what it does.
I used flashback without radio, then went through the setup process. Didn't deactivate, just did it like any other flash.
I did not check gps before.
Did not use 778.
Will nand now.

Hmmm, strange. I don't know why that (the procedure you used) would cause a behavior change - unless you were overflashing KF ROMs one over the next (no wipes), and something got messed up along the way.
If that is the case, reloading a (corrupted) KF ROM from a nandroid backup won't prove much - unless you do that and also a fresh (wipe + new install) of the same KF ROM you last used, to prove that the problem had little to do with the ROM itself.

Ok naned back to a celb4.0 not kf, sorry everything still works.
I had been on celb4.0 for a wile(the day conap released) and haven't changed anything when sms quit. Heard it could be apn and going to stock may fix it.
Let me know if I can get you any other info.

GPS does not work on my phone w/ KGB v8; I suspect it doesn't work on anybody else's Eris either.
KGB @ V8 is still a development ROM - it shows tremendous promise, but I doubt that many folks are using it as their daily ROM.
several of the kf roms have had gps issues fixed by later updates. did the browser fc when you tried to open it? try something like froyoshedyo and see what happens, but nandroid your current setup first. not sure about the sms. the gps fix for kf39 is posted in the kf thread

Sorry to post a new thread if this is duplicated, can't find the specific topic for not-rooted Razr yet...
I am running stock not-rooted ICS and I did do a factory reset after the update.
ICS has been running nicely on my Razr, but last night I needed tethering and couldn't get it running. It did use to work with GB, and I *am* paying for the tethering service (corporate).
Tried Settings => Tethering & Mobile Hotspot => Mobile Hotspot (tap to turn on). This turns the feature on for a few seconds, it provisions, then places a quick notification, then turns off. I've repeated this numerous times.
Can also duplicate this in Mobile Hotspot Settings. Configure Mobile Hotspot stays greyed out, so can't configure.
Is there something I'm missing?
can't reproduce this,
stock ics non-rooted razr maxx
I've been trying since I flashed .211.... My experience was about the same worked at first then out. I can connect and shows connection with limited connectivity. Can't get data to run correctly works for maybe a second the goes out. I give up sucksssssss. I may go back to gingerbread I need my tether... The guys at foxfi are working on it. Hopefully they figure it out.

I tried the same tips on that thread but it makes no difference on ICS, i have tried the native option, WiFi Tether beta version with different device profiles: Generic ICS, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid Razr (on this one the error is: "Setting ad-hoc mode.. Failed")
I hope someone can figure out how to make this work as it did on GB.

I don't mean to be cheeky, but given you are totally stock and paying for the service, I'd be burning up the lines to my provider for not providing for a paid for service. In the meantime, FoxFi from the play market should hold you over.

Actually just discovered the problem last night. I will be calling them when I get home from work today...
That said, I would much rather work here with all you wonderful foks here at XDA than to be in an automated phone message tree for 3 hours.
Well, I called VZ support from my office. They verified all my account stuff and looked over the phone -- all looked good.
Then they had me reboot the phone.
Now it works.

Hey All,
I'm S-On and on the latest stock firmware, and some rendition of the latest OTA (I got there from the Global Leak OTA and fastboot flashing the zipfile, OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted, I found in one of the development forums here on xda-developers).
My question relates to this scenario: I arrive home, turn on my wifi and check that I've set the wifi advanced setting to leave wifi enabled "Only when plugged in". Then, I connect to my access point. When I immediately relook at the wifi advanced settings, I see that it's been switched to "Always," without my requesting that that happen. I don't know that I recall this ever happening before, and now it's completely repeatable.
I'd like to have my setting stay on leave on only if connected. Can anyone offer up a way to overcome it getting changed to always?
Thanks!
cheers,
john

My guess is you have an app that has permission to activate WiFi, or something is corrupt... Try Permission Explorer and look for apps that have WiFi control (I don't remember how the actual permission is worded), if you can't find anything then I think a factory default is in order and try it before restoring any apps.

I'm looking for a way to use my "retired" HTC Incredible 4G (ADR6410LVW) as a GPS puck. It was my wife's phone for 2 years and the screen is cracked, the battery is in bad shape, the camera lens is smudged, and it's been mistreated by each of my children. So it's in pretty rough shape, but I got it for a good price, and it still seems to work.
Because my tablet (rooted Kindle Fire 1st edition - stock ROM) doesn't have an internal GPS, I need to tether it to the phone to get mock GPS coordinates for several mapping applications. For this purpose, the phone works with TetherGPS if both devices are on the same (external) WiFi.
The problem is that with the provided Mobile Hotspot app, the software won't allow a connection unless there is a data source (i.e. Verizon network). Since the phone is de-activated, no source exists, so the mobile hotspot won't turn on. I will be using this in vehicles far from WiFi and I have no plans to re-activate a phone just to get a GPS. Maybe there is a way to trick the app into thinking there is a data source, I'm not sure.
I've also tried Android WiFi Tether, but I run into permission errors on the phone, and it doesn't seem to be working. I've learned from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19935112&postcount=40) that I may need root access to use Android WiFi Tether.
I'd prefer not to root the phone if I don't have to, but if that's the only way, I'll do it. I learned from reading this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214653) that IF I want to root my phone (and do a lot more which may or may not be necessary), I need to flash update 2.17.605.5. My phone already has firmware version 2.19.605.2, so if I was to go that route, I have no idea whether I should just do a factory reset, backload the old firmware, or what.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
You are correct that most non-carrier based WiFi Tether apps do require root. I tried experimenting with the app I use (WiFi Tether for Root Users) by changing my radio mode to GSM Only (i.e. mobile data is on, but not really going anywhere), and my laptop connected to the phone just fine.
Regarding rooting your phone, the thread you referenced for rooting is for older firmware. Since you're on 2.19.605.2, you will want this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664460

Thanks for the link to the updated method. I was able to follow the instructions (with only minor detours) and got my rum. My phone is now showing S-OFF in the bootloader. However, when I reboot, I get a blank screen except the status bar on the top. When I switch to "Disk Drive", my files and such appear to still be intact based on browsing from my PC. But I can't see them on my phone.

That's an odd problem... Since you can get to your files via PC, I recommend backing up your files to your PC, then install a fresh RUU (older ones can be found here).
Installing the RUU will nuke all of your files and essentially make your phone "factory fresh", but you will remain s-off. (Once you're s-off, you should stay s-off pretty much no matter what you do, unless you intentionally make your phone s-on, but do not do that unless you really know what you're doing...).
After RUU, you'll need to install a superuser program (superuser or SuperSU) to (re)gain root.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it looks like those RUU files have been taken down.
I wonder if my problem started with the script from mdmower. I had to run it multiple times before I got it to work; it turns out two lines had to be run immediately after each other and I was waiting for the first to finish before typing in and running the second. I wonder if the second line did something that can be undone by re-running it with different options? I have no idea what ln or -s are. Here is the script I'm talking about.
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99

So my apps are re-installed on my phone, and Wifi Tether has root access, but I still can't connect my phone to my other devices. Neither my Kindle Fire nor my PC can see my phone's Wifi, whether the house Wifi is on or off. I tried installing the Wifi Tether on my rooted Fire and that also didn't allow me to connect the two devices.
So am I SOL - no tether without an internet stream? Is there another way to pass GPS coordinates from a de-activated phone to a wifi device? It seems like it should be such an easy thing to do.

I would expect that your devices should see and be able to connect to your phone's WiFi tether, but they won't be able to go anywhere unless your phone has a mobile data connection.
Maybe with the device connected to the phone, you could use something like BlueNMEA or perhaps adapt GPSTether to work? (Both apps on Google play)
If you figure it out, please post how you did it, as others may be looking to do the same thing. Good luck!
Still trying to figure this one out. I guess if it was easy, I wouldn't have learned so much along the way.
According to the Android-Wifi-Tether site (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible) the Droid Incredible is a special case. No mention of the Incredible 4G, so the workaround probably doesn't apply.
I guess I should try other Wifi tether apps and see if that's the problem.
Have you tried a custom ROM? I powered up my fireball last night with CM11 and I could connect my nexus 5 to it. I didn't get a chance to power up my old Nook Color to check if it shared location info. But it connected to the hotspot fine.

Success!
I installed CM11 on the phone. It now creates a WiFi hotspot with no internet access that my Kindle can access, and allows me to TetherGPS. I had to re-install all my apps on the phone, but I think I got that straight finally. Both the built-in WiFi tether and the Android WiFi Tether app seem to work.
So it must have been a limitation with the original OS that was keeping it from working.
If you'd have asked me two weeks ago if I thought I'd ever hack into and modify an old cell phone, I'd have said no way. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.
Glad it worked out. Congratulations on the learning journey.

Hi Everyone,
Last Month while away on business in NC my rooted Droid X2 started acting up. When using the hotspot feature it would drop the hotspot after 1 minute then reboot. Once rebooted the hot spot was on off on off on off on off making it useless. So I first wiped cache then data went so far as a restore to factory reset. So now I started reinstalling apps and accounts. After the Gmail sign in phone said sync icon will go away when done syncing. Icon came on went away after 5 minutes or so then back on and has been on since. How do I get it to stop syncing? I have tried all kinds of suggestions I have found on the web but none will get the icon to go away??
Please help me !!!:crying:

Your last hope may be too sbf to complete stock state. If that doesn't work, you May have borked hardware. It does seem you have just a software issue though. After you sbf, you will have to root again.

Edit: the reason you might have to sbf is a data and cache wipe will not put /system back to normal. If you messed some settings or files up in system, only an sbf will fix it.

Thank you Uzephi I did the sbf to 2.3.4 registered the phone then rerooted. I checked the box to sync google and ended up with the same issue. So I redid. The reset and upgraded to 2.3.5 rerooted same thing. Finaly I did mot check the google sync after 3rd attempt. It finally went away. The icon may not be a problem itself but it drained the battery in 3 hours. A brand new battery infact. So thanks for your reply I am back to a ful day of battery sometimes 2 days if I don't use it lolol.

Thanks

Unfortunately, if sbf didn't work on fixing your issue, it could be something hardware related. Are you able to get GPS lock? If your GPS chip is messed up and cannot get a lock Google could possibly have sync issues as it will try to log your GPS for your check in history.
