I recently had to replace my stolen rooted/DarkSlide white S4 with a newer black S4, that was unfortunately already on ME7. I have it rooted and everything seems OK.
I have it up and running, but when on Wifi, SMS (not picture MMS) will fail to send. It circles around for about 2 minutes, then gives me a failure notice, then the option to resend, and that will fail. If I restart the phone or battery pull, it will work for about 5-10 minutes after a reboot, and the cycle starts again.
I tried a factory reset of the phone and tried messaging again before rooting. Not luck. I did another factory reset, rooted, and again, after 5-10 minutes, it fails.
Are there other APKs I could install that would help alleviate this? I could probably switch over to data every time, but that is beyond annoying. I shouldn't have to switch off wifi for the device to handle the handoff of the text automatically. This is really upsetting, so any advice, alternate APKs, etc would be great. Again, I can't flash any other ROMs or anything at this time since I'm on rooted ME7, not the MDK file with the bypassed loader.
edit: I have also tried booting into safe mode, send a message there, go back to normal, and it still fails after some time. I have also tried both bands of my home wifi. Data, browsing, and calls all work.
When you're on wifi, do you still have the 4G icon next to the wifi one? That is needed to be able to send SMS.

I have had it both work and fail with the 4G symbol both being there and not, it's very inconsistent. What is consistent is that it only fails when wifi is enabled and its been a few minutes. Cycling the wifi off and on will make it work for another few minutes, or when I'm out and about in town not on wifi, no issues. Call connectivity is fine when at home on wifi.
I checked the SecMms.apk permissions (rw-r-r) and have tried my data connection access points as both global and CDMA/LTE/EVDO and same results.

I'm rather new to smartphones and just acquired my Tbolt. Text messaging still functions correctly, but I am unable to send/receive pics. It tries for 5min to send, then says generic network failure.
Any advice?
Thank you
also, I was still able to log online, but not since I dialed ##778# then disabled my Rev.A under modem settings.

Well, there are three potential solutions I know of depending on your circumstances.
First, "if you ported over your number from another carrier and you are still within 72 hours of doing so, it can take up to 72 hours for a port to complete and for everything to function properly." - Verizon Tech
Second, People have reported that simply turning off the phone, pulling out the battery for 30 seconds, and then replacing that battery and booting back up resolves the problem.
Third, it doesn't sound like you had another android phone prior to the bolt, but if you did, and you used titanium backup to restore the stuff from your old phone, that is most likely the problem. Therefore, if you are rooted and ran Titanium Backup from your new bolt with information from another/old phone than this is your likely problem and you can remedy it by either wiping all data on the phone and starting over by going to Menu --> Settings --> SD & Phone Storage --> Factory Data Reset. Alternatively, you can use clockworkmod recovery to wipe all data and cache and reinstall the rom. You can still use Titanium Backup but only restore the apps, not the system settings.
I had this problem personally and spent 2 hours on the phone with Verizon unable to help me fix the solution. The Titanium Backup problem was my problem. Good luck and be sure to let me know if either solution works!
Rooted the phone then applied the OTA update and since then i keep getting a wifi error. Im currently out of the country so can't connect to sprint. Any ideas?
Anyone?

Yup, had this problem after applying this OTA.
When I click the checkbox to enable wifi, it just shows "error" and does not enable wifi.
A factory reset fixed it for me.
My wifi turns on and connect but won't give me any data

The Atrix has a driver related issue that causes problems connecting to WiFi access points in certain countries. I'm pretty sure they have figured out a workaround over in the Atrix XDA section, sorry I don't have a link for you.
Hi,
My name is Fisher, I have the same problem, I have the phone in Australia and I updated over wifi then my wifi just says error underneath it, also 4G does not work. I can turn wifi on by first putting the phone into aeroplane mode then restarting and turning wifi on while still in aeroplane mode. I have managed to get all working occasionally by having aeroplane mode and wifi on, then going to system updates which are greyed out then turning off aeroplane mode by holding down the power button and when ive done that i have a second or so before the wifi dies to click motorola software update that is now not greyed and it sometimes kicks everything on;-)
I have tried factory resetting the phone 3 times and formatting internal sd on third time, did nothing.
Now i have some dmesg logs with the wifi under error, working in aeroplane mode and all working with my trick, so let me knowif u want them all.
I have a feeling the issue could be a sprint app or process that disables it, look at the access/security settings for sprint zone, it can control wifi, everything seems to be briefley activated when i start the phone in the notification bar then wifi and 4g die, so maybe a sprint process detects that the phone has not activated or something and kills wifi and 4g.
I have reported this on the motorola forum in the thread someone else started, look for " motorola photon wifi error" in google and it might be the first hit.

Sounds good. Ill give that a shot. Lemme know if you find out more
Mine is working fine, though today I turn WIFI off and my battery had a run away effect. The battery drained 30% in 10 min and the phone was at 116 degrees. It also rebooted itself twice but now it is fine and I turned wifi on and off a few times and no ill effect.
and yep I have the update.
Wifi ERROR after OTA update
hello everyone
i am not a US resident and i bought this amazing phone i am using Cellcom Israel Sim card
i just saw the firmware update,the update run smooth but after the reboot i try'd to turn Wifi on
and getting an ERROR.
try'd to reboot the phone - wifi not working
try'd to pull out the battery and restart - wifi not working
the only thing that works is when i restart the phone in AIRPLANE MODE the wifi works
but soon as i turn the AIRPLANE MODE off the wifi disconnected and cannot turn
it on again until turn back the AIRPLANE MODE again.
i do not using any data plan connection i dont have any...
what can i do??
Just do a factory reset. That will solve this problem.
Its a known problem. Lot of people are facing it after applying OTA. Just do factory reset and you should be fine.

Factory reset doesnt do a thing bro
Hi, I had the same issue actually watch the router and say the wifi connect and then drop, i installed wifi manager and then for some reason it started working and i haven't had a issue since.
no sure why it did this but i also restarted the phone multiple times trying to get it syncing and it wouldn't until that program was installed then after i got connected i uninstalled the app and it still connects without the app
got installed "wifi manager" and again error "error enabling wifi"
Factory resetting does nothing for me, I even formatted the internal memory as well on the third time, the only way so far I have managed to turn wifi and 4g back on and also data as data seems disabled is by:
Enable aeroplane mode, restart and then enable wifi, then go to system updates and you will see the 3 options greyed out, disable aeroplane mode by holding down the power button then click on update motorola software and most of the time that has worked for me.
kc_sheets mentioned installing wifi manager, I have installed it but not restarted my phone as I've managed to get it all temporarily working and Ill test the wifi manager when I have to restart.
Let me know if anyone else can get them all working using my method.
For troubleshooting, I know dmesg is good and probably lsmod, what other linux info can help me find out what the issue it, I would not be surprised if sprint has done something to disable wifi, 4g and data as the phone starts up, but it looks like it only disables at the last minute, does anyones wifi connect as you start the phone up, I think mine may have done.
I'm hoping we can just rename the process or app that is the issue and have a non crippled phone what we paid good money for.
Fisher
just flashed the phone and guess what??
wifi working again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w000ttttttttttttttttt
----------------------
after reboot the wifi error starts again.
that means no luck
I'm also out of the States and I just started having wifi issues today. It would see the SSID, try to obtain IP, then fail. I just set a static IP, default gateway, etc... and that did the trick.

you dont have wifi problems,its your router problem
my problems are with the wifi connection its not even trying to connect or activated its getting an error when i press the wifi button.
Posted on motorolla forum:
Hey guys, same problem - briefly:
Sprint customer - overseas for the next 6 months,
1. OTA update successful, achieved over wifi
2. phone restarted, wifi connectivity lost "error" as with fisher and the rest
3. airplane mode allows wifi connection until GSM is connected again, at which point it gets knocked off
4. I /also/ fat fingered my phone during one of the restarts and had both wifi and GSM working, but it's my nature to test things, so i restarted and of course now it's gone.
5. I am not able to attempt wally's re-register with Sprint approach as I will be away from the states untill January
6. I tried the update sprint zone fix - no luck
7. I tried the disable roaming guards - same as fisher, some of them are green and grayed out, no luck
Thank you !
Hi all,
This is my first thread here, but I'm not too noobish when it comes to technology. However, if I'm breaking a forum rule or you need more information, please ask.
I have a GNex with Verizon running 4.0.2. I am rooted and have flashed Clockwork Recovery and in the past flashed MIUI; however, it was a little sluggish for me and at the time I didn't have time to fiddle with it so I restored to a Nandroid backup I had created before flashing. As a side note, I haven't been able to get CWM Recovery to work correctly in the past as it will flash correctly (using the Galaxy Nexus toolkit) and I can boot into it directly after flashing, but after booting into Android, restarting, and attempting to boot into recovery it will give me the android/red triangle error. Not sure what that means, but if I need to use it I can usually boot into it without flashing.
Anyway, on to the meat of the problem here. Earlier today I took my phone off of WiFi to use LTE here (Bay Area, CA) but my phone wouldn't connect to the cellular network. Nothing I haven't seen before; I cycled airplane mode and the "data enabled" option and restarted to no avail. Upon rebooting, I got the "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" twice in a row. At this point, no bars displayed at all. Confused, I looked into Mobile Network Settings and under Network Mode it oddly stated that the preferred network mode was set to WCDMA preferred (specifically, GSM/WCDMA preferred). I can try to set it back to LTE/CDMA but it will only reset it back to GSM/WCDMA.
WiFi works, but as soon as I turn it off it will revert to the greyed out bars inside a triangle. As I type this now, there are currently two bars, but they are grey and of no use. I just tried to call someone, and the call went through, but the double "com.android.phone has stopped" dialogue box came up again
I suppose I am willing to do a stock reset, but I'd rather not due to my large amount of music, video, etc on my phone; plus, it's just no fun to throw in the towel and do a reset
Any and all help is welcome, and like I said if you need more information please ask. I googled this issue and no similar threads popped up on any forums, so I hope that if/when my issue is resolved this will serve as a guide to others who experience this issue. That is, assuming they do; my tech issues are all too often unique to my own horrendously bad luck.
gracias, dudes.
Bump since it was buried.
Now fixed with a wipe/reset. Initially I wiped/reset and restored all apps/data (including system) with Titanium Backup, but after the system data had been restored and I rebooted I encountered the same exact problem. I wiped/reset again and just let the Market redownload all my apps and the problem has since stayed away.
Any ideas on what exactly could have caused the issue, though? I'm curious.
I did a search, but wasn't able to find any relevant threads. So if I missed something, please point me in the right direction.
My problem is that earlier this morning, my data ceased working. The notification bar shows 3G (sometimes even 4G), but I cannot get anything to load or refresh. The data arrows are indicating that while data can go "up", it isn't coming "down". I'm not sure what happened, as I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary when this happened. I've got a decent signal in terms of bars as well, at least 2 or 3. Even given that, the data connection does appear to drop and then come back a few seconds later, but the behavior is the same: no internet.
I am S-OFF, global radios I believe, and when this first happened I was running the "le n00b" CM9 kang (which I've been running since yesterday morning with only intermittent data drops and no other problems). After a while of no data, resetting the radios via airplane mode toggle, a reboot, full shut down and restart, I restored a nandroid of the sense-based Vigor360 ROM, which had never had any data issues, but the same behavior is happening. Notification bar shows a decent signal, 3G/4G, but no data. After that, I powered down and pulled the battery, sdcard & sim card, left them out for a minute, put it all back together, powered back up, but still no data.
tl;dr: notification bar shows 3G/4G and decent signal, but I'm getting absolutely no data.
I've confirmed with a co-worker who's also on Verizon that their data is working, so it doesn't seem to be tower/network related. Anyone seen anything like this before? If so, what's the prognosis?
UPDATE: I was in Vigor360 with no data, and kept digging around XDA's wonderful search function, and found someone with a similar issue (though nothing about 3G/4G being in the notification bar) and they updated their PRL via *228. I did that, data seemed to come back. So I took a chance and restored my "le n00b" CM9 nandroid, and so far I've got data! Editing this post using that connection right now! I'll update further if I drop data again or discover any new relevant info.
the *228 wont do anything for us now that we have 4g and the sim card updates the prl when there is a new one. that was the old way to force a prl on 3g only so i think that was only a coincidence that data came back.
you might have a bad sim card. what you can do to test is put it in wifi mode and surf the web. if that works then its not the radio.
thing you can try to do:
remove the sim card and boot the phone. wait for it to fully boot and it say there is no sim detected. turn of the phone and put your card back in. then boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and boot the phone like normal.

Perhaps, but that was the line of demarcation between data not working to it working. Plus, the data speed seemed even faster than normal for the respective signal strength. Either way, I'm just happy it's working.

Hey guys. So I've been trying to figure this out for several weeks with no luck and I was hoping you could help me. I have a Verizon LG G3 on AT&T on 10b. I can connect to 4G LTE and Edge just fine. However, when I try to make a call or receive a call on LTE, the network vanishes instantly. I'm talking from 3-5 bars to no service in within 5 seconds of calling my phone or calling from it. I've tried flashing different modems and the problem still persists. I already tried flashing the stock (what I'm on now), factory resetting, clearing the cache, etc. and have not been able to fix it. Today I called AT&T tech support and after they re-registered my phone I was able to make one phone call before the problem reappeared. When I made the call, my LTE dropped but I stayed connected through 2G/3G/Edge not sure which one.
The only other time I've had it working properly is when I had Cyanogenmod installed. However, that led to another issue. With Cyanogenmod, my phone would crash within a few minutes of booting. Most of the time I couldn't even make it through the setup. To be more specific about the crash, my screen would freeze and become unresponsive for a dew seconds and would then turn off completely. The green LED would turn on and stay on. Every time this happened I would have to pull my battery. The only way to prevent the freezing was to turn on airplane mode. If I turned off data or had the phone SIM-less it would still freeze airplane mode was the only solution.
If anyone can help me with either of these issues I would be greatly appreciative. If you need any more information or want me to post logs just let me know and I'll happily do so.
Here's a quick recap incase you don't want to read through the walls of text.

I think you are talking about making calls on Voice over LTE. I am not surprised Verizon rom does not quite support it. Maybe you can try this swap boot.img hack to install AT&T rom and see if it solves your problem?

Thanks for replying. That's my main theory too. However, according to my research, the VS985 didn't get VoLTE until the 12b update. I'll definitely try an AT&T ROM when I get the chance at the very least I'll probably learn something from it. Any chance there's an option to make LTE data only on this phone?
