[Q] Foxfi issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wifes Motorola Razr XT-912 running stock Android 4.1.2 has ran Foxfi hotspot (paid version) for 6 months perfectly but when she tried to start it yesterday it wouldn't start and gave her this error code-
Error: Permission Denial: writing com.motorola.android.providers.settings.MotorolaSettingsProvider uri content://com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings from pid=4071, uid=10142 requires android.permission. WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS,or grantUriPermission()
Anybody have an idea of what went wrong or how to fix this?? We have used Foxfi's troubleshooting tips to no avail and 2 emails to them have gone unanswered. Wife and daughter use the hotspot daily for school and work, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.:fingers-crossed:

Update-
Just deleted all Foxfi and PDAnet from the phone then rebooted and re-installed, no luck....same error message about permissions.
No idea what to do now.

Update....Dropped the phone on the bathroom tile floor last night, no damage, but a few minutes later the wife tried to run Foxfi one last time before bed.....it worked fine.
I have no idea how or why.

[Q] Need Help: Error 131

I have an EVO 3D. Just this morning I tried the Perma-Temp Root process (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158400).
It worked perfectly, I gained root, it did overclock, removed bloatware all successfully, no issues during the process whatsoever. Now, however, after nearly 6 hours of my phone not going off even once (someone's always trying to get a hold of me), I decided to check it. I sent a text using Handcent and phone number 9230 pops up "The message could not be delivered due to a temporary network setup error. Please try later. Error 2128".
I rebooted the phone multiple times, uninstalled SuperUser, and tried again. Same exact error message. Then when I go to my Facebook app or weather app, or any app requiring a connection, they all fail. I went to Settings/System Update/Update PRL. It tells me "Error code 131". I can make actual phone calls, however anything that requires data won't work. Even when I enable WiFi, Facebook app and weather app do not connect, nothing does.. The PRL still doesn't update via WiFi, same exact error code.
The root is temporary I thought, so a reboot and all should be well? The day I bought it, I did accidentally doing the OTA. However, I followed all instructions to do the Perma-Temp Root Post-OTA instructions and it worked. I have an EVO 4G, that I've experimented with for nearly a year, I'm not a idiot, I consider myself semi-knowledgeable, however I'm no developer. The EVO 4G works perfect; same 3G signal trying to get to work on the EVO 3D. So I know it's the phone itself, not the network. As the phone still is stock ROM, root was only temporary, I could go to the Sprint store, but I don't want to, just in case they figure out I tried to gain root and this is some new defense by HTC. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Its a sprint issue, it wide-spread and it seems to be fixed now.
nation wide problem sprint rep told me they are working on it
Crap, I just factory reset the entire phone. It works now, but now I have to re-install all my apps, settings, etc...
Lmao Sprint and ATT&T tower wars UFC style

[Q] (AFTER UPDATE) Emercency Calls Only Issue

Hello, I've been using samsung galaxy s 2 for almost two months now. And I have done many updates and none of them gave me this issue. Can someone help? I'm going to tell you all the steps I've done below.
I was using 2.3.6 on my phone and everything was working smoothly. Then I came across to ICS frimware from SamMobile, K8. I installed it to my phone via Odin (I've always used that for updating) It's been installed just fine and my phone booted into brand new ICS and I liked it so much. I quickly connected to wifi and set up my google account and etc. Then I disconnected wifi to use my data plan. The network signal was on and it seemed fully connected to network but when I pulled down the notification bar it said EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY. I tried everything but none of them seemed to work so I installed the old rom I had. It had been working good. But after installing it to my phone I got the same error..
Can someone help me with this problem?

[Q] tiKtaK Beta 2 WiFi problem (HTC One VZW)

I've had the tiKtaK Beta 2 ROM for my Verizon HTC One for a few days and everything was working great until I rebooted my phone then the WiFi stopped working. No networks showed up. I read somewhere that you need to turn WiFi off before rebooting so I tried that. All that happened was the networks appeared but I couldn't connect to any of them. I entered my password for my network and it instantly said "Failed to connect to network".
I looked all around to see if anyone has had this problem and couldn't find it so if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. I'm not too good with this kind of stuff so sorry if I seem like an idiot.
Thanks!

System ver.- XT912
Android ver.- 4.1.2
Build #- VZW 16-5
