Hey i don't know much.... but try restarting your PDA.... the first thing you do after all programs are loaded... goto input settings and choose.... the input method you want... then goto the options available for it... and confirm those settings and click ok.... then again exit input settings clicking ok.....
then while entering text in any application... select your input method again if it does not appear as a default.... then probably you won't have to do the above stuff again and again untill and unless you re-boot your device.....
There is a small program called Sip Change....it may fix the problem....
Dear gurus,
I was trying to update FW of my gt-i5510, via KIES.
But during update process, KIES showed a message telling that reboot phone, disconnect and reconnect. I pressed power button. But it started a screen showing a message like

Happened to me once when I did a factory reset. I got pissed because I couldn't go into download mode to fix it. So while on this screen I just pressed the hardware keyboard buttons, trying any combination I could. It miraculously rebooted and problem was gone.
Problem SOLVED
How?
the problem is actually really stupid design of the screen after flashing new firmware.
As you all know gt-i5510 is a sliding qwerty keyboard phone.
I was able to go up with "left arrow" and down with "rigth arrow",
I hit "home" button, didn't work
I hit "ok" on keyboard, didn't work
I hit "enter" on keyboard didn't work.
Guess what,
LEFT SHI(F)T key worked.
I selected "reboot" option and decided to try any key,
when I pressed "left shift" it did the job, selection activated and reboot happened.
FW update done !!!

That might have been the button I pressed. lol
Glad you sorted it out.
So I decided to download Swype to give it a try. I followed all the instructions on how to install it but I cannot get it to work. After the install, I verified that Swype was selected in Language & keyboard however when I try to type a TXT or EMAIl I do not get the Swype keyboard, I'm still getting the Sense keyboard.
Any suggestions?
BTW, I'm running the official 2.3.3 update from Verizon.
I had this problem at first as well a while ago. Open a text and bring up the keyboard at the bottom left there should be a button you press that brings up the option to choose which keyboard. If that didnt fix it i went to the keyboard settings to verify its swype then restarted and it worked. Good luck
I got it working. I needed to long press in text box and select input method then choose Swype.
Do you have a link to the swype download?
Register at their website and download it that way. Swype is pretty good about squashing any "illegitimate" downloads.
I think there's something wrong w/ my APN settings. I can send/receive SMS, voice, and data. I can only receive MMS. The only way I've been able to send MMS out is by installing Go SMS Pro and manually putting in APN in the app.
My stock messaging or Handcent can't send out MMS, so I'm thinking perhaps my APN got messed up. How can I verify/correct this?
See fix below! :thumbup:
Please DO NOT QUOTE this post in your reply. Just post your questions or comments if you have any. I DON'T CHECK OR RESPOND TO PM'S.
5/31/2014 Update - The Palm Treo Pro 850 and HTC Touch Pro's MMS are now working again as well.
5/20/2014 Update - As of 5/19/2014, Sprint has removed the HTC Touch Pro2 from the list of decommissioned picture mail phones. MMS is now working again on the HTC Touch Pro2.
5/1/2015 Update - As of 4/30/2014, if you have a flashed phone, Sprint has decommissioned a bunch of older phones as far as MMS functionality is concerned. For more info, look here: https://community.sprint.com/baw/co.../2014/01/31/picture-mail-decommissioning-faqs and https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/152977?start=0&tstart=0. This affects lots of donor phones including, but not limited to HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Pro2, Palm Treo 850 Pro, etc. The only way to get your MMS back on your flashed phone is to replace your donor. For Sprint legacy plans such as SERO, the Sprint Sanyo Incognito still works. For Boost, the Boost Sanyo Incognito works as well. Boost phones can't be activated with Sprint, but select Sprint phones can be activated with Boost. None of the mentioned methods below will fix your MMS if your donor phone's MMS has been decommissioned by Sprint.
Background: I bought 2 Galaxy S3's. One had the problem out of the box, and the other was just fine. A friend had a problem as well. It seems some Galaxy S3's may have shipped with a defective APN config setting. Method 1 and Method 3 are the "real" fixes, but they require a rooted phone. Method 2 is more of a work around and doesn't require a rooted phone. You must use 8sms app instead of the stock messaging app for SMS/MMS messages.

Method 1 - (the real fix, but requires a rooted phone):
***UPDATE***
I've confirmed that this method works on ICS (4.0.4), Jellybean (4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3) , and KitKat ( 4.4.2) . Tested and working on Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, and Note 3.
1a) Download this working Sprint APN xml file: https://www.box.com/s/40x5ac2c6u0ckzfz59ig (click on download button at the top)
OR
1b) For Boost, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/o9folfrq00ee9p2qj5pv (click on download button at the top)
OR
1c) For Virgin Mobile, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/9itl21drpp84enqeszc9 (click on download button at the top)
2) Download and install "APN Backup & Restore" from the Google Play Store to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore&hl=en
3) Convert the "APN Backup & Restore" into a system app by either using Titanium Backup, or simply use Root Explorer/ES File Explorer (root enable it) to move the APK from /data/app to /system/app. For KitKat, move it to /system/priv-app.
4) Reboot the phone.
5) Launch the app, click on menu, then click on "Disable ICS Check".
6) In the main app menu, click on "Backup APNs". This will create a directory called "ApnBackupRestore" in your /mnt/sdcard.
7) Copy the xml file from step 1 to the /mnt/sdcard/ApnBackupRestore folder.
8) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Delete APNs" and confirm it.
9) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Restore APNs".
10) Choose the file you downloaded from step 1 and confirm it.
11) Reboot your phone.
12) Done.
NEW Method 2 (work around, doesn't require rooted phone) - Uses 8sms app which is lightweight unlike other 3rd party bloated messaging apps such as Go SMS Pro, Handcent, etc. More details about the extra features of this app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398767
1) Download and install 8sms app to your phone from the Google Play Store here or from the developer's site here.
2) Launch 8sms app.
3) Press Menu button on your phone.
4) Choose Settings
5) Choose MMSC Settings
6) Press "MMSC".
7a) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
OR
7b) Type in "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" for Boost
OR
7c) Type in "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" for Virgin Mobile
8) Press "MMS PROXY".
9) Type in "68.28.31.7" (Sprint & Boost) OR "205.239.233.136" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
10) Press "MMS PORT".
11) Type in "80" (Sprint & Boost) OR "81" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
12) (optional) Press "MMS over WiFi". I know this works for Sprint. Not sure if it works for Boost or Virgin Mobile.
13) Press phone's back button.
14) Choose "Phone Number" under the Extra Settings section and enter your 10 digit phone number.
15) Press OK button.
16) Press phone's back button.
17) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.
18) (optional) You can also configure the app's extra settings such as enabling EMOJI, etc.
19) Done.
Hidden below is the OLD Method 2 - Uses Go SMS Pro which is too bloated and doesn't work well with apps such as Avast Mobile Security
OLD Method 2 - Uses Go SMS Pro which is too bloated and doesn't work well with apps such as Avast Mobile Security - (work around, doesn't require rooted phone)
1) Download and install Go SMS Pro to your phone from the Google Play Store.
2) Launch Go SMS Pro and skip through the intro message screens.
3) Skip the Go Chat Service offer unless you really want that.
4) Press Menu button on your GS3.
5) Choose Settings.
6) Scroll down the menu and choose Set default SMS program.
7) Press each entry in the list and put a check mark on "Use by default for this action" then choose Go SMS Pro. When both are done, press the back button on your phone.
8) Up on top, press "Advanced"
9) Scroll down the list and press "MMS Settings"
10) Scroll down the list and put a check mark on "Fill APN configuration manually"
11) Press "MMSC".
12a) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
OR
12b) Type in "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" for Boost
OR
12c) Type in "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" for Virgin Mobile
13) Press "MMS PROXY".
14) Type in "68.28.31.7" (Sprint & Boost) OR "205.239.233.136" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
15) Press "MMS PORT".
16) Type in "80" (Sprint & Boost) OR "81" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
17) Press back button on phone twice.
18) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.
19) Done.
Method 3 - (also a "real fix", but requires a rooted phone and custom recovery such as TWRP, ClockWorkMod, etc.) PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF THIS METHOD WORKED FOR YOU!
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone. Proceed at your own risk! These scripts will replace your old apns-conf.xml file in /system/etc and will delete your telephony.db. When your phone reboots, the telephony.db will get recreated according to the content of your apns-conf.xml file. Thanks to oakieville for the script!
1) Boot into your custom recovery.
2) (optional, but highly recommended) Perform a nandroid backup using your custom recovery before you apply this fix just in case!
3) Not sure if this is necessary, but go ahead and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
4) Flash ONE of these:
Sprint (original, stock, working MMS for Sprint): https://app.box.com/s/m2pq7sesi6aexwa9zu3g
Boost: https://app.box.com/s/dt16cd44hsix3n2dl0mf
Virgin Mobile: https://app.box.com/s/395osivovclbbr44p5w1
5) Reboot your phone.
6) Done.
7) Please leave feedback if this method worked for you!!!

Thanks Alpineman! You are the man and a great help to the android community. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get my Galaxy S3 to work on my Legacy SERO plan and now you have helped me get my MMS working again. Thanks!
Think this should be posted on both original / or Android Dev side
Good stuff bro. Thanks for this quick and easy tutorial!! :good:
I am unable to receive MMS from anyone that doesn't own a sprint phone. I am however able to send M M S. Do you think this will help with that.

Thank you very much, now my phone to work properly.
cant do it says does not support 4.1
I have not tried this on Android 4.1...Only on ICS. You can downgrade to ICS first, apply the fix, then upgrade to 4.1. The fix should carry over.

Tried this method on AOKP 4.1 and lost the ability to receive any SMS or MMS. I then Odined back to stock Touch Wiz 4.04, rooted and tried again. I still can't receive any SMS/MMS at all since trying it, but I can send SMS just fine... Probably gonna Odin back to stock and take my phone to the store tomorrow as I have no idea what to try next and no SMS is no cool

Did you try reflashing the aokp rom? I tried this fix earlier and it didn't work for me either and I also could not send or receive afterwards. I then wiped and just flashed aokp again like a new install and all was well after that. I would try that before deciding to take your phone back to the store.

I didn't try reflashing AOKP because I still couldn't receive any texts at all, SMS or MMS. I'm in the process of Odining back to stock, maybe I'll re-root, try the fix, and reflash AOKP before the night is over.
Does Odin not return the APNs back to stock? My phone worked fine (minus MMS a known issue w/ AOKP) until I tried this fix.

You didn't need your apn settings to work in order to reflash aokp. What wiping (cache, dalvik, system and factory reset) then reflashing would have done would have restored aokp to your phone as a fresh install and reset your apn settings.

Ok, rooted once more, wiped cache/dalvik, did a factory data reset, then flashed AOKP 9-11, sent a regular old SMS to my gf who is sitting right next to me. She got the text within 2-3 seconds and replied back. It's now been just over 5 minutes and I haven't received her reply SMS.
I've been rooting my phones for 3+ years now, always carefully following instructions from XDA and I've never had an issue that I couldn't fix myself. I just have no idea what else to try =/

Hello.
I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7in and everything seemed to be working just fine until the system eventually prompted me to update the Samsung software. I followed the steps, the tablet downloaded the update files itself and rebooted in order to install the updates. Problem is, during the reboot/installation process the screen remained black with just 2 lines of pixels on across the screen, I though this was part of the booting process but it just stood there for more than 10 minutes so I decided to turn it back on. Everything seemed to be fine, but then an error message came up saying there could be problems with the software (i didn't pay too much attention), but after this it won't let me install any apps. After an app is done downloading a message pops up saying "unknown error code during application install -110", plus my computer (or any other computer) doesn't detect when it's plugged in via USB cable. I've tried doing several factory resets and wipes and still have the same issues. Tried installing Kies but it won't detect it either.
How can I repair the firmware without having to connect the tablet to my computer? Is there anything I can download directly to it or transfer via Bluetooth to re-install the software?
Any help will be very much appreciated
Try resetting it back to factory defaults. You can google it easily.

my friend has the same problem. did you fix the issue? if so how?
I am using the Apex Launcher but I think this is possible with stock launcher as well hopefully it helps someone. This is one way to do a factory reset is:
You will need your MSL TO DO THIS. If you don't know it put the "Factory Mode" shortcut on your home screen then skip down to the 2nd part of this post & install the msl app.
FACTORY RESET:
1) long click on the home screen
2) click on shortcut
3) select Activities
4)Scroll down to "Factory Mode" tap it then select the dropled down one. This will put a Shortcut on the Home Screen.
5) Find the Factory Mode shortcut you just made & tap it to open it.
6) Dial ##786# then on the screen that pops up
7) select "RESET"
8)enter your msl in the box that popped up then select ok then the device will reboot & when it powers backup it will be like it was from the factory & if you don't know your MSL follow the instructions below.
TO GET MSL:
1) In a browser type bit.ly/mslutility - can sideload if needed
2)install app
3) Open app & click get MSL it will most likely fail this is fine.
4) click on the factory mode shortcut you made to open it
5) dial ##3282# & put in 6 zeros-it will tell you that it's incorrect this is fine. Go back to home screen
6) Open the MSL App & click on Get MSL-this time it should give you your devices 6 digit MSL Code. Write it down. Then do step # 6 above to reset your Device.
This shortcut will allow you to put the Sprint SGT3 into DIAG MODE(##3424#) , get into the ##data#(##3282#) menu, do the factory reset ##RTN# (##786#) & most likely any other Dialer/hidden menu's for this device.
Thanks to the MSL App builder(not sure who it is so let me know please)
