EL30 Reply to e-mail problem

I was on a rooted Epic 4g EI22 and it worked well. Received the OTA EL30 update a few days ago, wouldn't install due to being rooted. Returned phone to stock EI22, did the EL30 update, then rooted the EL30. Phone works fine for the most part in the short time it's been on EL30.
The problem I experience is after choosing either 'sender' or 'all' when you choose to reply to an e-mail, the phone returns back to the mail inbox and I am unable to reply to e-mails. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution to it?
With EL30 I also experienced a problem with not being able to answer incoming calls (could hear ringer) but no visible notification other than a force close button for the phone would appear. Quickly found a remedy on here which was to reduce the quantity of 'Reject With Message' options to less than five in the call settings menu.

Did you restore data to get your account info back? Clear data in the emal app and re-enter your account info manually.

Through the update process I made my phone return to a 'stock' setting with none of my personal data or user installed apps on it (same condition as if the phone was just purchased from a store). After rooting the EL30 I used Titanium Backup to put all of the apps and data back onto the phone.
EDIT: I just tried the suggestion of removing the e-mail account from the phone and setting the same account up again on the phone. In doing this, the reply function seems to work as normal now. Thanks for the help.

[Q] How do you disable/remove AT&T Address Book?

Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.

I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?

Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.

Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.

I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.

Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.

I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....

Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.

1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

No.
My AT&T and YP.

I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Yes, I just tried this as well instead of what I posted earlier and it also worked. I didn't know there was a phonebook option in my online AT&T account.

I just turned off the AT&T phonebook as you described and the pop-up goes away. Didn't need to do anything else.
Thanks!

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.

[Q] How to remove AT&T Address Book Pop-up

I swear I saw a post about this somewhere before I got my phone, but now I can't find it... How the hell do you get the "AT&T Address Book - Checking Subscriber Information" pop-up to stop coming up every time you open up the Contacts app?
I tried clearing cache in Contacts, didn't work. I have frozen ALL AT&T bloatware, still coming up. I'm not sure which app is causing this stupid pop-up. Help would be appreciated.

Settings -> Application Manager -> "All" tab -> "AT&T Messages"
Click Stop if its running then Disable.
See if that works.

Thanks, already tried that, for some reason it kept popping up. I ended up rooting, and renaming the app with a .bak extension, and rebooting. Seems to have gone away now. Thanks for pointing me to the right app though.

here's the old thread (it was mine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724071
It ended up stopping popping up for me without really needing to do anything. Not sure what if anything changed but I never rooted or did any of the steps mentioned in the thread.

What worked for me is just let it do it's thing, don't hit cancel. A pop up will come up asking you if you want it to check or sync with AT&T address book next time, paraphrasing here, click no. Done. Now when I got into my contacts it doesn't come up anymore.

I did the same thing and it never came back up for me. This was before I was rooted. Even after I don't get it anymore

No clue. I let it do its thing probably 10 times and it never went away. Now that I rooted and removed anything related to AT&T, it doesn't come up anymore. I have no idea why my phone was being so stubborn with it.

Recently install SKY ICS, and there are no apps with AT&T or YP, but the checking still comes up... any clues?

I froze everything att with titanium and hasn't happened to me..

Disable AT&T address book
Saw this some where.. got the issue resolved on my LG V10 AT&t model. All credits to the original uploader
"Go to dialer than dial *#*#2666#*#* and setting "registration" to "completed". Exit out than you are done."

Skype doesn't log in/gives error message

I have a Rooted Galaxy S-II. Aside from that it's basically stock. Just removed some of the bloatware.
Up until recently Skype was working just fine on my phone. As of (I think) the most recent update, whenever I start up Skype and try to log in, it gives me an error message to the likes of: "Skype has stopped working - Would you like to sign in again or exit Skype?" with the options to Exit or Sign In. If you pick "Sign In" it just sits there.
I've tried clearing data both through the phone and through Titanium Backup, and I've also tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing is working.
I thought I read somewhere on the internet (not to say that that's a reliable or specific source to say the least) that with the newest update there's an inherent bug with Rooted phones and Skype not working. Don't know if that's accurate but it seems like it might be.
Anyone else seeing this? Have a fix? A workaround?
Thanks!

Happened to me too but I got signed in I just kept exiting and trying again it took about 5 times for me

Same thing just started happening to me tonight.
I turned my tab off last night, charged it, turned it on about 30 minutes ago, and started getting that message. Happens every 4.5 seconds. I cant get anything done. I cant get to messages via the App Manager to stop it, either. Lookout Premium says my tab is good to go. I've never used Messaging on this tab before so I have no idea what the deal is all of a sudden.
Device is a two month old unrooted SM-P607T running stock 4.4.2.

Mine has done 2 different times. The first time I rebooted and then went into app manager and cleared the cache and force closed it. The second time which was just the other day, I did the reverse of it. I went through the settings via the pull down and getting to it that way. Yes, my tablet is rooted so it happens on unrooted and rooted tablets. If you can't get into settings to clear the cache and force stop it, then I don't know how else to help but you can try it the ways I did it.

Figured it out, for me at least.
I opened messages and found an unread text from some random email address. It took me a few tries to click the message to be able to read it, what with Messaging stopping every 4.5 seconds exactly, but once the message was read, the error stopped happening.
Now that I can get into the App Manager, when I click on Messages, my only option is to stop it. No cache to be cleared, apparently.

Come to think of it, the last time mine did it, I had a text from some email address I didn't know. Looked like a spam text message. Probably some scam going around. I marked it as a spam message and deleted it. So beware of texts coming from email addresses instead of actual numbers.
