ATT 8525 Trashed by US Open

Stupid me. In my excitement to keep up with the latest news on the US Open at Torrey Pines, I downloaded and installed the mobile leaderboard from usopen.com. It was advertised as working on WM6 devices, and the install went fine. When I started the program, it blinked the screen, turned off my wifi, then quit. The US Open program is called MYlbCab.cab and is available from the www.usopen.com website.
Apparently, this crappy piece of code messes around with connection settings. I immediately uninstalled the code, but now I cannot make any data connections -- not over cellular and not over wifi. In fact, my wifi will not even connect. You know in CommMgr when you hit the button to turn on wifi and the little wheel spins in the middle of the screen for a couple of seconds and then your wifi is up? Well, that doesn't happen anymore. When I try to start wifi, the button lights up, but then nothing else happens. I can still make/receive voice calls, but no data -- no browsing, no email.
I have done multiple soft resets with no effect. I turned the phone off, took out/replaced the battery and restarted. I have double checked my connection settings, and I think they are ok. I have double checked my wlan settings, and they look good. Are there some registry settings that this US Open junk could have messed up?
I have been searching the forums for things like "hermes wifi registry" and cannot find anything that helps. Would some kind soul please answer the following --
-- Point me to a post that details the proper registry settings for wifi.
-- Is there something else that could have gotten messed up and give me the same symptoms.
Thanks.

Problem with Find My Phone!!!

How do I resolve this? Am I creating a problem or?
The other day I used the side https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/find and tried to give functions Lost your phone? We can find it for you! Everything was ok! After two days I checked again, but now we give to the picture (windows.jpg). Can someone send me where to look for the programs of something or I 'm screwed

I never booked marked it, just signed into my live.com account clicked on "Devices" from the top left when you hover the mouse over "Windows Live" and it should show up there. But this is what the site shows up to me as now:
https://devices.live.com/

Is it possible that when I check how it works ( ring, lock, or erase your phone ) that I messed something and now you can not use that option.
in order for this picture when I go to Change Windows Phone 7 setting of switch me to that previous file
Oops...
Something went wrong and we can not show you this page right now.
Go to windowsphone.com
Is it possible that I am something in the phone or in checks or something messed up...

Oh, right. You do have to enable it on your phone first.
Settings > Find My Phone
You also have to have a live (ie hotmail or msn) account on the phone.
But you also might need to re-add it on the live.devices.com. I know after I flashed it, it didn't recognize my phone so I just hit "add a phone" on the devices page. It sends a text to the phone and then you should be good.

Hey, after I installed Rataplan v6.0 and tried to activate "Find my phone" in settings > find my phone, it says "Re're still setting up Find My Phone. This will take another moment or two to finish. Come back later to make sure it's been set up, then visit windowsphone.com to use it." It's been saying this since I installed the ROM. What should I do?
EDIT: Found the solution
"Long back story:
Here's what I was previously experiencing:
In Settings, it would list find my phone and have the subtitle "Setup Needed." When I tapped this, it would take me to the find my phone options and immediately display a modal dialog that said it would take a few more minutes to set everything up. When I hit OK, it would back me out of the find my phone settings. This left me completely stuck and no amount of rebooting or fiddling seemed to fix it.
Just now, while I was grabbing another phone to take a picture of the dialog to post here, my phone went to sleep. When I woke it up, the dialog was dismissed and I was in the find my phone options. I checked the first option, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery). I then hit back and the subtitle under find my phone reported connected. I logged into windowsphone.com and my phone is now listed. I simultaneously also received an email from windowsphone.com welcoming me to my new phone. There must be a bug that results in that dialog being dismissed when the phone goes to sleep, and that bug allowed me to toggle the first option, which re-attempted connecting my phone to windowsphone.com.
Anyway, long story short, if you are stuck in this boat, try these steps to work around them:
Set your lock screen timeout to the shortest available duration (1 min?)
Go to settings and tap find my phone.
When the dialog pops up telling you to hold on, set your phone down and leave it be until the screen turns off and the phone goes to sleep.
Turn your phone back on. You should be in the find my phone options now.
Check the first setting, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery).
Back out and verify it says connected and login to windowsphone.com and verify your phone is listed." - found this on windowsphone site, posted by someone. Not my solution.

Shut down with wifi connection on sleep mode

Hello,
I have a very big problem with my new google nexus 7. I bought it two days ago. My tablet sometimes when is connected to wifi network (at home, at work etc.) automatically shut down on sleep mode. Does anyone have the same problem like me? This is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. I think about asus service but maybe is some solution. Please help. I will be very grateful. I made factory reset and hard reset and still is the same.

Goto Settings -> Wi-Fi and then tap on the menu icon (on the upper right of the screen), choose Advanced and change the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always".

Thank you for your advice but I have this option set up to always. I don't know why my nexus shut down itself on sleep mode

[Q] Checking device status... Please wait...

Hello. I'm getting this notification that won't disappear on my Galaxy S5 even if I tap it or try to swipe it that says "Checking device status... Please wait...". It's just there, and it has been ever since I started the phone after my sister gave it a factory reset about 3-4 days ago. I found out that it's the samsung dm service so I disabled it, but when I restart the phone it reappears. I tried to find the location with the root explorer but I can't seem to find it. Any help please?

Hey Jose

I know what it is. These instructions are for those who use their s5 without cellular service and could not get a successful activation after reset because there is no network carrier responding to status inquiries.
Samsung s5 tries to launch "no touch activation" and "system update" after a factory reset. To put a stop to this, go to settings > system update (under the system tab) and uncheck auto-update. You are half-way there! Now go to settings > application manager. You will be on the "downloaded" tab, move to the "all" tab. Find! "Software Update" 696k and disable it. Now restart if you want to test it! That was for Galaxy s5 SM-G900P or similar models that get stuck in activation loop or are unable to complete activation because of a bad config and you are on an unlocked phone with a valid SIM card or other CDMA configuration and If you are getting this error while trying to activate or sim/uicc unlock and you believe it is a bad config, you will need to configure the "Service Mode" menu first. Root the phone. Open /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and modify its content from OFF to ON. Reboot. Open dialer and input *#0011# to enter "Service Mode" menu. Wait for at least 10 seconds and look for the three dots icon in the upper right. Press it and select "back" from the drop-down menu (not on the bottom of the phone.) Now wait ten seconds and press the three dots and select "Key Input" and enter the letter uppercase "Q" and press "ok". Wait at least three econds and go key input and enter six zeros, "000000" and press Ok on the seventh flash of the cursor. Wait up to 30 seconds for the secret menu to appear. If it does not, enter Airplane Mode, reboot, and retry. If by chance you are seeing a blank page, reboot and try again and if still blank, root your phone and start over. Still blank, you're done. Something's wrong with your phone. It ain't going to work for you. Once inside the menu, click item 2 "UE Setting", then inside that menu, click menu item "setting", then once inside that menu click "protocol", then once inside that menu click "[8] mscdma" and you'll see "1". Go to the menu in the corner and use option "Select" and it will ask for a row number. Type "0" and press Ok. Then press key input and enter "0". If you want to simunlock while you are in the menu (pointless on a CDMA model, those slots are for UICC cards not SIM cards but you may have success on GSM models but might be to get SSU to finish the job on 4.4.2 KK phones. This method works on 5.0 Marshmallow to use LTE from another carrier on the phone to get data and use Google Hangouts Dialer for a phone, etc. ) Redo all of these steps again to get to the menu where tmscdma was and click [9] uicc lock instead. Use the menu to toggle the On switch to Off. If you do not see the menu item, your phone is a CDMA and the slot is not a SIM locked slot, it's an unlocked UICC slot for LTE reception. Your slot is unlocked already, you are good to go. Whoever makes it this far should not be seeing the hands-free activation messages any longer. I hope hope this helps.

Without quoting your entire post let me be the first to say thanks for this. Even though I may be back with a query later as I don't have the time to do this all at the moment. Thanks! :good:

Move to different rom and /or root it and install some of many beautiful custom roms... i did that long time ago in multiple occasions and i never had regret for that

WiFi won't turn on with Cyanogenmod 13

Hi guys, I've already solved this issue but couldn't find any info on it while it was going on, so wanted to share what happened and how to fix it, just in case someone else runs into this. I think this is the most appropriate section to post, but if not, please feel free to move it, mods.
The problem was this: WiFi suddenly stopped working on my rom. It just straight up wouldn't turn on. Pressing the wireless icon in the launcher did nothing, and from the settings menu I'd see the "to see available networks, turn Wi-Fi on" message, even if I turned it on. Coming out of that screen and going back in would show the WiFi was still turned off. Reboots didn't work, uninstalling suspect apps didn't work. I was ready to wipe & reinstall the rom.
The solution is this: I then had what I thought was a really dumb idea. Try changing the WiFi frequency band. It worked. I'll explain what I did step by step;
Long press the WiFi button in your notifications bar, or go to Settings>WiFi
Press the menu button (either the menu key on your phone, or the three dots at the top left of the screen) and select 'Advanced'
Tap on 'Wi-Fi frequency band', and change it from automatic to '5 GHz only' (it may be your WiFi is on the 2.4 Ghz band. I'll come to that)
Reboot your phone
If your WiFi is on the 5GHz band, and your issue was the same as mine, it will now connect to the network and you'll have internet (you may need to turn WiFi on, first)
If it didn't, repeat the steps above, but this time choose '2.4GHz only' instead of 5.
Hopefully you'll now be online again. If you like, you can now change the frequency band setting to automatic again, and the WiFi should work just like it was before.
I really hope this can help some folks who might experience this in the future. It was such a weird issue, and it's such a simple yet obscure fix. With any luck this'll prevent any unneeded wipes.

Had a similar issue on another device... this might help with that too.
