My Wi-Fi had been working fine since I bought my phone almost a year ago. I recently downloaded "Words with Friends," and that app has crashed many times on my phone. After a crash on that app today, my phone restarted itself --> and I noticed that I was unable to turn my Wi-Fi on. I click the Wi-Fi button in the quick settings menu, and it is green for a while and it turns white again. It does not even find any networks since it cannot turn itself on.
I thought that maybe if I upgraded my firmware that this would fix itself. I have now upgraded to the latest firmware via Kies. However, after the upgrade I tried to connect my phone with Kies again, and it doesn't want to connect. It says: "No sim card inserted. Unable to continue communication." My sim card is inserted, and I am able to make phone calls like always.
Note: I have never installed any custom rom's on my phone. Everything is original. Also, I have deleted "Words with Friends."
Yes, I have tried to restart the phone several times, as well as removing/inserting the sim-card.
Can someone please help me with these issues I am experiencing?
• Unable to open Wi-Fi.
• Unable to activate Mobile Data.
• "No sim card inserted. Unable to continue communication." with Kies.
• Unable to get into Settings > Security ("Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.")
• Unable to adjust screen brightness from home screen (swipe the quick menu bar at the top).
It seems like I cannot take screen shots either (I used to hold in the home button and click the power button before), but it does not work any more.

Yeah try a factory reset and most probably the conflict might go away.

How can I save my messages so I have them after the factory reset? I managed to save my contacts in a vCard file and put that on my computer.
I tried to factory reset, and everything seems to be working fine now.
I managed to save my contacts (exported them from the phone and imported them back in the phone), but sadly not my messages. My pictures did not get deleted from my phone, neither did my created folders and my content in there. My apps were deleted, however I only had free apps that were easy to install again.
Thank you guys for helping out.
What do you think could have been the cause of this?

I am trying to update my SGS II via Kies, and after few steps, I came to backup process. Kies offered back-up, I accepted, and now, for more than one our i am stuck at this:

When I try to click anywhere on kies surface (visible and invisible part of it), one can hear sound like when you try to click on forgotten part of application. Phone is accessible, I called it from other phone, everything works fine.
Does anyone know what is happening ? Can I unplug USB cable ?
My gues is that there should be some kind of window which asks where to save backup data, but this dialog is not vissible.
regards,
Zoran
Haven't really used kies for updates, since I always flash my own firmware.
As for being able to unplug the phone, should be fine since you're just backing info up, not installing anything to it (yet). Can you see anything on the phone screen?
Try that and restart the whole process, see what happens.
My long term suggestion however, would be to learn a bit about flashing fw via Odin or Heimdal, and then really go ahead and do it yourself. This method has never let me down and you get to learn a lot more about the internal workings of the phone...
Thanks, Anakondarh.
Phone is completely accessible, altough it is on the cable and on main screen there is Kiess connection information, I can receive a calls, I receive email updates via wifi ... Simple, after I confirmed I want to back up phone, nothing happens.
Yeah, unplugging shouldn't be a problem. Try that, put up with any error messages from Kies (if there is any) blow on your USB cable and restart process. If you end up stuck at the same place, try to restart your PC and just run Kies, no other programs. See if that helps.

Guess it's safe to unplug the phone as long as the firmware update didn't start, no harm will be done if it was just backing-up info on pc. After that try rebooting both the phone and pc before trying to update, cause Kies has several processes that run and if one of them crashed it won't recognize your phone or back-up your stuff. If you still can't update, reinstalling Kies and drivers from Kies again might do the trick. If you can't be bothered about warranty, i guess you can try flashing through Odin, seems much easier than Kies, if you read the whole procedure before doing that.
Hey everyone, I've searched thru the forum looking to see if someone had the same issues I did, and the stellar assistance that was given to others with various problems, I'm hoping that I can get the same (haven't seen anyone with my particular issues yet).
As mentioned in the title, I'm using a stock T-Mobile Amaze, unlocked and I'm using it in Barbados. A few weeks ago, a notification popped up on my phone.

Naturally, I was curious to see what this update was, but after ensuring that everything that was required for the update was in place, I see this...
...which I'm sure means there's some error in installing the update. The phone freezes, and I can't get out of this without doing a battery pull a la blackberry. This is issue 1.
Issue 2 is that a lot of my menus have wrong names, e.g. the 1 for Wireless connections says "Turn It On"
and even the options within the menus are wrong, e.g. In the display menu, to set the screen brightness, that option is entitled "Set A PIN code to lock your UIM Card"
Further to these, often when I try to access many of my settings, the whole shebang crashes, and asks me about sending an error report. Til now, nothing has changed in that regard. Any assistance to these problems would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is just to do a master reset on the phone. It should clear up all those issues.
tried it...didn't work (well, the menus still are screwed up, and the settings keep crashing when i try to access some of them, like the Sound menu.)

Have you tried locking your bootloader and flashing the stock firmware?
You already unlocked your bootloader, right?
Just flash a custom rom.
If you REALLY want to flash the 1.43 update then relock your bootloader and flash this: http://goo.gl/KvHzj
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and store it on the root of your sdcard.
It will update everything.
Then unlock your bootloader again, reroot and you'll be good.
Hello. :laugh:
I need help to solve the problems that have a device that gave my girlfriend.
Model: Huawei Asencion Y520-u33
The phone lights up perfectly.
The problem is after starting and unlocking it, the typical problem of '' Unfortunately, the application stopped ''
The most common applications to stop without doing something are:
-Google services
-Google play store
When trying to clear cache or application data it will not let me. I give it to it and it remains the same as it was. Then I try to uninstall applications and when I start the uninstallation I get: "Settings, keychain, contacts, etc" have been stopped and finally when I try to uninstall them by holding them in the main screen and give it to uninstall: "'launcher3' has stopped ' :crying:
It will not let me enter the settings until I restart.
Restart the phone and I go to the section where I get the option to restore factory (I really do not want to recover any data on this phone) :crying:
I choose what I want to restore from the factory and it turns out that the phone sends me to the recovery (and I do not have problems with this because I manage well with the phones and computers, I have some knowledge)
Here's the other problem, in the recovery I'm supposed to go up and down with the volume keys, Right! but to select the button to turn on.
... ... ...
For some reason when I press turn on to accept it does not do anything it is as if it does not work, but the button works correctly. (When the phone is on as if it were to be used in a common way) then I can not reset the factory either.
Try some things with the '' fastboot '' but it did not detect me sometimes to the phone, I mean, if I have the drivers for mtk phones but when I activate the USB debugging in settings, when restarting the programmer functions are disabled and I suppose then that when I activate them and turn off the phone to enter the fastboot it is already deactivated.
Try using the flash sp to install a recovery exactly the twrp, I could not install it, also try the cwm, either. When trying to install with the sp I loaded the scatter and the recovery later. when pressing "discharge" the bar would turn yellow until it loaded. at the end he said '' you can not do just the download '' or something like that.
I would really like to repair the phone and if in addition to removing the problem that I think is the '' rom '' could also tell me (if the problem was solved) that rom could put.

Heya, first time posting and I got this weird NVRAM problem.
Before all, here's the info of my phone:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
(Also have installed TWRP MDS recovery 2.8.0.0)
So, some time ago I kinda ruined my NVRAM/IMEI (sorry, I'm really bad at this so please no hate if I don't call it correctly) while flashing my phone. But til now I was able to fix it by just taking the NVRAM folder back-up on my pc and replacing the one on my phone with it. That worked fine for a few times. But recently, I got another, kinda weird problem. I suddenly found myself not being able to use a few apps anymore as when I opened them, they froze after a few seconds and closed, without any "[APP] unfortunately stopped working.". First I tried figuring out why it might be after which apps it were which froze, but I couldn't find a clear pattern because apps like Steam or Chrome froze, while Firefox, Reddit and WhatsApp were just fine. Following I tried first removing my SD card to see if that would fix it, rebooting my phone, clearing the app cache, reinstalling them and nothing worked. So as a last resort, I factory reset my phone. After it rebooted, I had the NVRAM problem again, to no suprise and I did the same as always. Drag root explorer and the NVRAM folder on my device and replace the current NVRAM folder with the back-up. But after rebooting it, I kinda met something unused for me: The IMEI was there, but so was the NVRAM error in the Wi-Fi tab.
That pretty much confused me. The phone works perfectly fine, I can receive calls and messages, the provider is there.
So at first I didn't bother about it because the error only was showing in the Wi-Fi tab while everything seemed to be fine. But then trying to install and open the same apps as mentioned above, nothing has changed.
So, with me being a total noob in this and not being able to connect the lines I got 2 questions:
1. Are those 2 problems linked to each other?
I know that it is very unlikely, but hey, slowly getting desperate so I would believe anything.
2. Specifically, how can I fix the apps freezing?
The first problem didn't bother me too much, but I kinda need to use some of those apps like steam for the mobile authenticator so I really would be glad if I could fix this.
Thanks for any help in advance.
My unlocked s23 ultra on Verizon keeps doing what I call a 'soft reboot'. What I mean by this, is all connections drop (Bluetooth, wiif, calls, etc.) all notifications are removed, and I have to unlock my phone as if it was just rebooted or turned on (pin required). It takes only 10ish seconds, so it is not a hard reboot, and my adb settings stay turned on (used for Tasker). Are there logs I cam review (Tasker's shows nothing) or some tool to track what is causing this?
i think every 72 hours you have to enter your pin again for security reasons, if it gets stolen or something.
If thats the case its not a soft reboot it just requires you to enter your pin again.

Thank you, but what I am experiencing clears all open apps, closes all open radios (phone, Bluetooth, wifi, etc), clears all notifications, stops any of my running widgets (like a weather notification and a traffic analyzer) and the password screen indicates I have to enter my password at boot up (or something similar, I can try and get a picture)
Is "Restart when needed" option activated in Device care -> Auto optimisation?
Try in safe mode. If it doesn't happen then there's an app causing the issue. If it happens contact Samsung support
