[Q] WiFi problem...won't connect

Everything was working fine this morning on my JB vibrant. I then read an article about the Fenneck browser release as an alpha. I downloaded the browser and found that it still had several problems so I deleted it. After deleting I noticed that my wifi was not on so I turned it on and got the message "unable to scan networks" and "unable to save the network" I have done some research and it looks like I'm going to have to reflash the phone. If anyone knows of something I can try I'd appreciate the info before I have to spend the weekend researching and trying stuff till I get it right again. I just got the phone setup the way I wanted it including the native tethering flash. I'm not sure what steps I need to take from here if I do need to start from scratch. Do I need to un JB the phone, flash it then reload all the "approved programs then all the unapproved programs? Just not sure what I need or how to get it back to how it was this morning. I've looked around but have not found a step by step list as to how to get where I want to be. Any help would be appreciated. I do have apps like appbrain, astro, ROM manager, appmonster etc.
Thanks,
Gerry

Did you make a nandroid backup when you installed ROM Manager?
If you did, you can go back to that and add the missing apps as needed.
Otherwise, besides flashing firmware try factory reset.

I had this EXACT same problem... I ended up having to flash stock back and everything was fine. I dont think anyone has a solution to this here.. And if they do they ignored/didnt see my thread about it

Completely forgot I had done a nandroid backup...getting old is rough on the memory with so many gadgets. Anyways...did a restore and the wifi came back. Had to update about 10 programs though. Small price to pay.

[Q] can't setup google account

So for the past few months I've been messing with different roms and accidentally setup one of my roms with a different email and bought the app chandroid. When I reverted to the main Rom I use chandroid wanted me to update so I tried but since I bought it under a different account it wanted me to buy it again. I found that the new market let's you switch between emails so I installed it but was unable to download or update any app.
This is where all the trouble started. I went to Google for answers and someone suggested clearing the data in the market. After doing this market would just say an error has occurred and shuts down. I then tried a factory reset. When I go to setup the account it says can't establish a reliable data connection. I understand this is a known problem but its different from my problem because even factory reset won't fix it. I've tried the YouTube method as well to no avail. One of my roms didn't come with the YouTube app and when I tried downloading it it said I already had it but it was no where to be found under app management.
The only luck I have had is with the muiu Rom. I was able to setup the account but that Rom looks too much like the iPhone and I prefer cyanogen 7 mod. I have factory reset, wiped cache, reinstalled rom. The only way market works is when I reinstall backed up roms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So basically you have a problem with the market app? or your google account?
because if you have paid fopr an app on a different email account, you can just save the apk and reinstall it.

It was installed. The problem is that it uses Google to authenticate the app and I can't setup my Google account so it can't authenticate. When I factory reset I get the message can't establish data connection. My internet works perfectly fine. Right now I just want a clean install of cyan 7 with the new market. I installed gapps as well and still same problem.

I really don't care about the app anymore since I installed 4chon. I just want my market to work again.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've tried everything possible as far as I know.

Okay so I figured it out. What I had to do was unroot my phone. Just download the PC36IMG.zip online and put it on the root of your sdcard. Go into clockworkmod by powering the phone off and then holding the down vol. and pwr button at the same time untill the hboot screen shows up. It will automatically detect it and just say yes when it asks you to install it. When it's finished you have to either delete the PC36IMG.zip file or rename it otherwise everytime you reboot the phone it will reinstall it. That's not a very good fix but as I am the only person I know of who has had this problem I do not see a better fix anytime soon.

[Q] CM7-18: No Market / Contact

Hi
I updated from CM7-17 to CM7-18. Now Market doesn't start and all Contacts are gone. I installed gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip from recovery menu, but no luck.
I have the feeling that somehow my gmail login data got lost. Also after update I got a screen to log in to the SIM Network. Never saw this before.
Do I have to reset to factory defaults ? Hope not. Does not want to loose again all my games and stuff.
Thanks and best regards
paines
Update: Later i realised after updating boot.img to fxp018 too, that I have no set/select key. All would act as "back" buttons.
So I flashed boot.img from fxp017 and then also installed the updated.zip from fxp017. I then needed to enter my Gmail credentials, and now everything seems normal again.I guess there are some major issues in fxp018.

[Q] Switchme - After updating firmware and re-Rooting (can't switch back to admin)

So I had installed SwitchMe and it worked like a charm. Unfortunately when ATT rolled out its update, i accidentally updated the firmware rendering my previous Root - unaccessible.
Also unforutnate to me, I just happened to be in the OTHER account i created with SwitchMe (not the administrator Account).
Since the root came out again for ATT - I re-rooted my ATT S4, and everything worked great. However, even though Switchme comes up and am able to open it without errors i was getting after the software update rendering my root inoperable, I cannot switch BACK to my main account. In short, I'm stuck in Switch me on the secondary account and it just sits in spin mode.
Any help or anybody with any ideas on what I have to do would be great. I'm going to attempt to re-install the superuser account, but if anybody has anything more specific to try, I'm happy to give it a go.
Want to try to retain everything instead of starting all over.

By any chance do you have a proxy set on your APN's? Jot it down and erase it, including the port number.
If you have normal internet working - then it must be a problem APN-wise.
You can isolate it down to the hosts file, but if you use apps like Adfree or ad blocking software, then it really eliminates it down to your APN settings. For ad blocking software to work, proxy and port number must be removed. Try placing a proxy back if it's gone.

Thanks for the answer.
I have no clue what to do reading and rereading your post...
It's too technical

Update
This happens only when i press the refresh button on the widget. And only on mobile data.

Solved by wipe data.
However this wiped all sdcard contents
Really bad.
The wipe data also fixed a problem I had with delivery reports not working.
Although enabled both on stock app and gosms.
But but but...
...after some days the delivery reports again stopped working.
So please I have read one million posts about this delivery report issue.
Can you help and suggest any fixes?
Thanks

I also have the problem with the SMS delivery report.
Still don't know how to fix?

No luck no fix yet.
What device you have?
Android version?
I have gosms and mightytext apps that may be messing
Do you have any of those apps?
Only by diagnosis we may reach something

My device is N9005, stock 4.3.
I don't have GoSMS nor mightytext app, but I have installed HushSMS and also the its Xposed module.
I'm not sure if it may cause the 'SMS delivery report' problem. Tried to uninstall HushSMS and its Xposed module but the problem still persist.
I think factory reset may help (as I don't have the problem when I first bought the phone), but I don't want to factory reset

Factory reset will not help
For me it fixed it for a couple of days only

Nobody jumps into this thread
Which means that from millions of note 3 devices we are just a few with this issue ?

Most people don't have the sms delivery report enabled.
(the majority of western-world mobile users doesn't use sms altogether anymore.)
Check with your service provider, there may be a network related issue.
And does the problem also persist if after a reset you don't install any apps, particularly sms ones?

It worked after factory reset until I enabled mightytext app.
The app was restored with titanium backup but not set up yet.
After I set it up and used it then no delivery reports anymore
Coincidence? who knows
Of course I uninstalled mightytext but the delivery reports still were not working
