Hello all.
Okay some quick back story...
Few months ago I changed out my charging port, related or not, my data signal is absolute trash now and I mostly rely on wifi for internet use. Having told this to a former co-worker, she gave me her brighthouse log-in info, so now when i'm at work or around town my phone will connect to brighthouse wifi hotspots. This feature is something I currently cannot go without. Now, I don't have her log-in info written down anywhere, she just typed it in, and now i'm good to go wherever I am.
Having said that, I am tired of the rom i'm currently running and would love to swap it out, however once I do this i'm afraid I will lose wifi access. Is there any info on my device I can backup and restore in a new rom that would allow me to keep using my former co-workers login information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Titanium backup.
Yeah, I'm asking what to back up though.

Wi-Fi Access Points is the line you will want to look for. If you are on TiBu Pro you can back up to xml. Migrates well.
There are also other little tricks to play with the back up files in such circumstances...

So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.
Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?

Bump: And also I tried to set an old APN but that didn't help.
Have you rooted and flashed it or are you stock? If you are just stock...there is nothing this forum can do to help really.

I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.
U can only do so much stock....and thats not alot! Root and use stock rom so u will have root access to see whats what...and to be able to control what u do or dont want ur data to do

Thank you guys for trying to help but I know all this. I am just in the period of time I can take it back and I don't want to risk that by bricking it while monkeying around.
I (Maybe) have isolated the problem, they said that I was set up for LTE and there are some issues with proper propagation of properties. Anyway problem "May" only effect people on ATT with Samsung S3s bought at BestBuy locations and the upgrade includes unlimited data. Still working will update tonight....
BUMP!
So I have done days worth of searching and have not found a fix for what I am looking to for.
I have unlocked my LGOG LS970 in hops I would be able to use the blutooth tethering as Sprint has it on lock down. I was not to my surprise. My old Evo never had an issue after I rooted it. I have downloaded many many apps that say they enable the tether with no luck. I am trying to share my internet connection with my Parrot Asteroid. The only apps I have found require you to download the adjacent program to the device as well as the phone, so in this case I am not able to do that.
Is there a ROM or program that will allow me to share my internet connection with my deck via Bluetooth?
I tried the hotspot apps to for WiFi and it would not work either.
Thank you for any help.
I haven't had any problems with mine. What rom are you using? Are you rooted? Do you have experience with android?
And just do you know, give us a bit of information about your phone, but don't bloat the thread. Give us info, read through it, trim it up, post.

So I have an LG LS970 on Sprint.
I used this method to unlock and root the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
I am running the factory ROM, and have not upgraded to another as of yet, perhaps that is my issue. My Blue tooth tether worked for one day after I first rooted and then stopped. From reading around is that Sprint is a little tricky and you have to use a proxy to bounce your IP off of to get away from the extra charges. I can use bluetooth but not for data sharing.
I am now using a proxy server but still no luck on the tether.
I have some experience with Android but from a user standpoint. The only other phone I rooted was my Evo a few years ago and CyanogenMod made that effortless..
I hope this helps
Thank you!

No idea man.. try rom hopping and seeing which ones work Then find a favorite and stick with it.
I have been using a SM-N900T on the ATT network by changing the APN settings, and it has been working perfectly until today. I have no internet connection, but it shows full bars, and I can still call and text. I've tried restoring to a earlier NANDROID, and even went to an ATT store and had the guy (who happened to know exactly what I did and has done it himself for his phone) try to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I posted this in the AT&T section too, but no luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same here both with AT&T and T-Mobile. All you need to do is call nearest store and ask if they're experiencing network problems.
Hello everyone,
I rooted my Note 4 yesterday and discovered this morning I've lost meta data transfer to my bt audio in the car. I'm still figuring out this as the idea of rooting my phone and getting rid of all of the Sprint bloat is very appealing. However I have not up to this point loaded any Custom Rom. Once I do this, should I expect the meta data info to come back or is this a feature I have lost? Apologies in advance if this has been covered as I did a few searches for meta data and couldn't find a thread. Thank you in advance.

Well, it is very unlikely rooting your phone would cause that issue. Think very carefully about any changes you made after rooting. A change is probably at the root (couldn't resist) of the problem. Hope you figure it out.
I've never had Meta Data info with my note 4 in my Acura TL. I had it with my Galaxy S4.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
JHill: I think you're on to something. So I was on here yesterday, reading intently that some folks had gotten galaxy tools and wifi router working via ROOT. So that was the last push I needed to root my phone.
However as you responded I noticed my meta data was no longer there. After reading your post, I deleted those 2 apps and amazingly...all is well with my bluetooth audio streaming meta data info. You guys are the smart ones..so I don't have a clue, but it's back after I deleted those 2 apps.
Masbirdies: I've always had meta data on my Sprint Note 4 in my 2013 E350. However when I first bought the phone, there was a bug that the meta data didn't refresh after each song. Samsung was aware and Sprint issued a OS update about a month later and everything was fine until my issue from this morning. Happy to say all is working again. My wife has an X3 and meta data works fine on my note driving her car as well. So maybe it's the Acura ??
Because of this very reason I do not remove bloat..that and the fact that storage on the phones is huge and you have an sd slot. What do you gain? A couple of hundred MBs? And what else did you gain? Aggravation and lost time. There are apps out there that let you freeze apps. I personally bought Titanium Backup..well worth it for the use I get out of it over the past 4+ years of rooting and flashing. If you freeze an app and it messes something up you defrost it...not spend time hunting for files you removed. Back in the Epic 4G days it was necessary to debloat because there was only 512MB of space to use on the phone...but now 16GB or more.

Great point Kenny. One that I'm learning the hard way. I was contemplating unrooting my phone for this reason. The was my first and probably last time for rooting my phone. Just seems like I haven't gained anything.
**Full Disclosure** I have not loaded a custom ROM, so simply going off Kenny's point above about the PIA for me getting certain things back the way they we're.

Rooting has many advantages, such as using a great app like Titanium Backup, or Flashify, or Quick Boot, as well as many others. Hopefully soon they will figure out Xposed for Sammy phones and Lollipop and that will open a whole world of modifications you can choose. The best thing about root and custom recoveries is the ability to back up your phone, all the things in user data and your configuration..so when you mess with it and screw it up (we all did and do trying new things) we can instantly restore to the point when everything worked. The downside to rooting? It is a hassle to get OTAs and updates. You have to jump through some hoops.
Happy flashing!!!!
TL;DR
backup is set on my nexus 6 and I synced right before turning on my pixel Xl for the first time but saved wifi passwords didnt transfer
Hey fellas.
Is there a way to transfer my saved wifi passwords and SSID's from my old phone to my pixel? I was under the impression google did this via the backup feature. I know it restores it on the same phone because ive wiped my N6 before and it remembered everything once I signed in again. Im open to using a 3rd party app but I hoping I dont need to root my pixel as I use android pay......yeah Im that guy lol. Thanks in advance!
I used the cable transfer feature to copy my stuff from my N6 to my Pixel XL. Not sure if that made any difference but all my WiFi info was restored.

hmm that could be it as I opted out of doing that. Is there a way to initiate that again without doing a factory reset on my pixel though?
It should sync with your Google account - I can not confirm or deny it because I entered my WiFi password before syncing and haven't had a chance to go to another WiFi location I use yet.
I know for a fact on other phones in the past, the WiFi passwords synced through my Google account though.

Only way I know of would be a factory reset. I used the cable as well from my N6 and was definitely the way to go. Fast and all my settings, text, apps, etc moved over.

hmm I was afraid of that. Just curious do any of your wifi passwrods use a 3rd party application to connect to it? i.e cisco network setup?

No unfortunately they don't. But I had quite a bit saved from work, home, airports, hotels, church, etc and all came over

ok. thanks for your insight. In any case I at least confirmed it was possible somewhat here. Chatting with support via the settings tab and support said I couldnt do it at all lol. they are nice but kinda useless
its been hit and miss with the backup for me. Usually works, but sometimes just doesn't.
I went from Nexus 6 to Pixel XL, and used the NFC to set up the Pixel XL (copying apps and settings from the Nexus 6). it copied across all my app settings (for google signed in apps), as well as wifi passwords.
