Problem restoring wifi access points - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys. I have all my wifi access points backed up with titanium backup and have restored it numerous times with my evo 3d and then my photon 4g and it always worked. Now with my epic touch i'm restoring it and when I go to the wifi settings, it appears they aren't restoring properly. I'm around one of the spots and it is password protected. Usually upon restoring them all, it will connect automatically but not this time. I've tried restoring it multiple times. Am I doing something wrong?

If your restores wont work, i would suggest trying to connect to it the old fashioned way. Forget the network, connect to it and then type in the password.

I have about 20 wifi passwords saved. Typing them in one by one makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Plus I don't even know the passwords to half of them.

Sometimes they don't show up until you reboot your phone. Otherwise your file may be corrupted, which has happened to me before. You'll just have to back it up again whenever.

Bonsai 4.0.0 EC05 update and BT issues

For those that updated their Epics to the new Bonsai 4.0.0, have your Bluetooth issues been fixed? I am still having issues.
It has for.mme.and.everyone in testing. You probably have something corrupted and it keeps getting.carried over. Best bet.is to Odin to a fresh install.

Damn...I was afraid of that. I was hoping that flashing the new EC05 modem and Bonsai ROM would take care of the BT issues. I just got my phone configured the way I wanted and now have to start over.

Just make sure to use Titanium backup and when you restore all your apps restore the data for TWcrushlauncher.apk (or whichever launcher you are on) and your homescreens will be back the way you left it.

Isn't there a chance that restoring data using Titanium Backup will also bring over the "corrupted" BT files too? I was assuming I would need to start with a completely clean slate and restore/install apps from the market one at a time.
let you know shortly, i still need to borrow mys dads bluetooth headset and i assume it will work, although i odined back to stock and just restored apps, and it was a good decision before going to bonsai cause, my phone was probaly loaded with old crap and it was slowing it down...
Ok well it seemed to connect perfectly with only one pair message.. didnt seem to have as many issues, although it did make me reclick the device to connect it only once..
but the headset was dead and charging so i will charge it a little and let you know more seems tho its much improved then it was on connecting!!
Update: Bluetooth issues is fixed!!! Worked perfect like it should, when you toggle it on and off it just ask you to accept pin and then connects flawlessly!!! YAY!!!

Don't bring all your data over. Once you have put the clean system on and got the ROM back on and redownloaded and installed apps, just bring in the launcher data. No BT info is in there.
Well, that worked!! All BT issues appear to be fixed. I can pair with my Jabra SP700 and make calls and stream music. Bluetooth toggling doesn't require me to enter a PW again and connections appear to hold.
For those with BT issues, a clean wipe and flash is the way to go.
EC05 definately fixed the Bluetooth for me. I tested it with a few different ones. No longer get the losing pair issues. When I do a battery change and the phone boots up, I turn on my Bluetooth and it connects right back up

[Q] Can't get Epic flashed to virgin >:(

I swear, i've done it all. I've flashed the donor intercept's "numbers" if you get what i'm saying....
got my AAA and HA passwords,
got my username and all that info inputted in QPST, wrote to phone,
phone restarted.......
*me getting excited*
open dialer on epic to make a test call...
rings once and then "YOUR ACCOUNT COULD NOT BE VALIDATED!"
checked settings, rechecked settings,
is there some type of provisioning i have to do?
do i need to call customer service and "refresh" my data...
the intercept still works fine, too...

We are going to need more info then that. Your AAA and HA user name name and password have nothing to do with getting calling to work just data. Make sure you entered the correct meid in QXDM and that u also put in your phone number and mdn as well in qpst.

i got calling/texting to work, finally....
my msid was different than my actual phone number and i didn't realize that.
changed it in ##msl# and voila, calls and text!
now i just can't get that data working, i've manually entered all the usernames and such in ##data# but that didn't work.
so i went the route of using qpst, data still doesn't work.
weird quirk though is that it seems the settings in qpst aren't sticking maybe? i'll write the PPP box to phone and then when it boots i'll read it to make sure it's right, but it will be gone.
Additionally when i try to input the correct settings in the advanced tab on ##data# i cannot get them to save. I'll exit data programming mode and it will all just change back to <not set>.
that may have some problems with it.. i can try flashing a sprint rom again to reset the data settings to start fresh maybe?
again i appreciate any help you can give me because i've been working on this for damn near 4 days!!!!
edit: i've attached my list of important things to have while programming, most of which was pulled from data programming on intercept.
i trust that you won't try to steal any of my number and what not, if it's possible.

I always re-input all qpst data, including passwords, each time I use it to avoid possible data corruption, as well as going to ##DATA# and viewing the starred passwords there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
i'll give it a try now,
another weird thing i found is that if you want your AAA password just open up ##data# on the intercept and click on the password like you're editing it, long press it and hit select all, and then turn the phone sideways like landscape mode and you can see the passwords in plain text! that's how i got mine anyways... seemed easier than reading through the adb log.
edit: TO BE CLEAR that way of getting the AAA password ONLY works on the intercept running 2.2 STOCK. It may or may not work for you, if it works for you then we can probably assume it will work for others who have problems with adb like me.

That's good info for someone on a intercept. I just went ahead and stuck with the adb log method to blanket cover all who may not be using an intercept phone.

okay, so i tried reflashing all settings for my data to work, but i still can't even get 1x......
my settings are IDENTICAL to this guy's -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23117907&postcount=281
a little stumped to be honest, any ideas?
Okay, so if i change my data username in ##DATA# to [email protected] i can get 3g to flash on/off intermittently and i can get steady 1x. problem is that the icon is there but there but i can't actually go to any websites. i'll open the browser and the arrows will light up like it wants to work but no.
if i change it back to mdata.vmobl.com i lose the 1x icon and 3g and back to nothing...
i dont get it....

I did the tutorial exactly, but my data wouldn't work. So I tried manually in ##data#.

Start over fresh? Why Certainly! Odin EL30 Stock Tar. Have Repartition checked and make sure you have efs clear selected as well.
WARNING!!!! EFS clear is going to wipe that phone clean, you'll have to re-input the ESN (I think) and prl, etc. Least that's what I believed happened to me last time I did an efs clear.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
i will do that once i am off work!
you guys are a lot of help, and i appreciate it.
i just want to start off fresh because i was about half asleep when i entered all the numbers in and i'm about 99.5% positive i funked up a number somewhere that shouldn't have been effed with.... i'll let you know if it works!
well! reflashing to stock fixed my problems.
followed your guide and entered all the settings verbatim.
the 3g icon is up, data is working .....very slowly.
this leads me to believe that it's not actually 3g and just 1x.
according to mobile speed test i'm going at about dial up speeds (not even 1x) with 3 bars of service.
any idea??
got it!
it just fixed itself when i cycled data mode on and off, thanks guys!

Restored imei but problems [update][fixed]

You would think I learned my lesson but im back to square one. This time however I did back up the file and did the restore. My problem is the connection is horrid very slow I tried some of the methods posted but no luck. What I'm noticing is the dBm keeps going up and down and switching from edge to HSDPA and to utms I believe it is called. Anyone with these problems?

What file was that, exactly?

I backed up the file as peoplearmy thread says to do as soon as i got the phone. Everything was fine and then i lost my imei, i so no biggie, located my backed up qcn file and restored. Afterwards i seen my 4g come up, i said cool i tried to use it the arrows would go about then signal would drop. Then when i back out of say Market app because nothing is happening the signal goes back up to full, like every time i try to download something the signal goes out, the dBm goes crazy too.

I'm noticing slower speeds after rooting. How do I know if I lost IMEI? I see in About -> Status. I didn't. Back k it up before I rooted. No one mistake. Is it too late to fix?

Thing is i have no QNC back-up.......there is a QNC generator but it says the binaries are not finished for Tmobile....so that leaves me wondering....could i use your binaries and write my NV back up over that to get everything working again?

What about those of us that didnt backup a qnc or efs before root?
I've been searching all day for a way to get my 4g back after losing it following a permission fix in CWM. I love that the 20+ tutorials I read on how to root your phone never once mentions backing up these additional items. At this point, I would sacrifice all my contacts and apps just to get my data connection off EDGE and back on to 4g.

[Q] Pls help fix my galaxy s3 i747 problems

My samsung galaxy s3 only shows me Egde network. I have searched seriously within it for a place to switch from edge to 3g or 4g all to no avail. Pls is there any hidding method to do this?
And again, i tried connecting the phone through usb to my pc to move my backed up apps into it, after installing the drivers my pc couldnt show me the phone.
I just want to know if my phone is faulty and if i should send it back to the dealer because i just purchased it today.
Check to make sure the imei matches the one on the sticker under the battery.

I have faced same problem and I know exact solution. I cannot share here its illegal.. because it involve with NV data
Don't go straight to messing with the NV data though. Many times its not necessary and if it can be fixed without touching the NV Data, it is much, much better to leave it alone.
I've fixed hundreds and hundreds of these issues here, both when it requires writing to the NV Data and when it does not, and many didn't have to touch the NV to begin with, but did anyway and ended up causing even more problems we had to fix. (I've even run into a few where someone did something wrong and permanently screwed up the device!)
All I'm saying is be careful and don't dive into the NV data unless absolutely necessary.

Wifi Problem

Hi everybody, i'm new around here and this will be my first post. Sorry if i'm posting this thread in the wrong category, but i have no idea where i should post it.
Anyway, so early morning started using my nexus 7, turn my wifi on went to play store but couldn't connect to the store, nor could i use any other apps that needed wifi. It was weird, because the wifi logo was showing, but there was no wifi.
I've never rooted it or anything, my device is still locked, could it be something wrong with the internal?
Or could i accidentally have deleted some important file? I have noticed that the clean master app uses awfully long time to find unnecessary files, when i'm using the clean option.
I really don't know what to do, as i'm not a pro.
- I hope someone on this forum can help

You can almost be certain that you did not delete anything important, as those System files require root to remove. So, that fear aside, it could be a few things you need to check. You probably just deleted the saved wifi profile information in the same way many computer cleaners clear your browser cache and you have to reenter previously saved passwords.
First, go to Settings -> Wifi and then on the left should be your SSID name and it will have something under it, which will be helpful to know. It will either say "Connected", "Secured with WPA/WP2", or "Out of Range".
If it says "Connected", your tablet is communicating with your WIFI Access Point, but for some reason is not able to get out. This is likely a router port configuration issue (which can get complicated if you do not know about them), there could be an IP Address Conflict with another device, or your internet may be out. Rebooting the Router often times fixes many issues.
If it says "Secured with xxxx" it means your tablet is seeing the access point, but there is an authentication error and they are not connected. This could be because of an encryption/password change on the router, or somehow, when you wiped your tablet, you just happened to zero out the WiFi profile for your network. If that is the case, click the Name of your network, hit "Forget", turn your Wifi off, and then back on. It should detect your network, and when you select it, prompt you for the encryption key/password for your network. Just re-enter it, and it should connect up. If you see the Wifi Signal, but it is dark on the status bar, this will cause it. If you re-enter and it does not sync up, try rebooting your tablet, and it should connect when it restart.

Thanks for the quick reply, i tried all the instructions above and some of them i've tried twice, but there's still no wifi.
Do you have no wifi everywhere? Like McDonald's or Starbuck? Or is it just at home?

Despite the fact that other devices work, try rebooting your router if you have access.

Oops. Sorry, I missed reading you'd done that. Next step is to try another wifi source. Do you have a phone with hotspot?
BTW, airesgodofwar gave you an excellent troubleshooting guide. Just make sure that all web access is not working. If that's the case, factory reset may be needed. That will wipe all user data so don't attempt that yet.

Just tried to connect to my sisters wifi hotspot and it worked yay!
Does that mean that there's something wrong with the router? And how come it's only the tablet that can't get access?
- okay, so my wifi suddenly started to work again and I have no idea why. But without your help i would probably have panicked and factory reset my device, so thanks for your help! I appreciate it.
Did you reboot it? If so, try again but leave it off for a full minute or two. Technically, I can't explain it, but it happens that something in the router gets lost/misdirected (just like on your tablet, phone, pc) and a reboot is needed. I've had every one of a dozen devices access the web through the router while one tablet could not.
If another router reboot doesn't work, turn off the modem and the router (if separate) then restart modem then router.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Likely an IP Address conflict, meaning that your router assigned 2 devices the same IP address on your LAN. I should have said, when you reboot your router (which usually solves most issues), you need to hard reset it to clear the current IP tables usually, meaning you need to unplug for 30 seconds before you plug it back in, or if it has a reset button, hold it in for 30 seconds before releasing.
Good news is that it does not sound like it has anything to do with your tablet, so no need to reset it.
