    Help with new Pie phone please

    To be honest, the mms issue is not the most important to me right now. I would like to solve that issue but my bigger problem is why enabling wifi disables my phone calls and texts.

    Help with new Pie phone please

    Yes, I keep it off most of the time unless I need to connect to internet when I'm not home, which is rare. This way, I won't get unwanted data charges. I used to have an LG G3 and a Droid Mini. They both let me send pictures with data disabled. There's no reason for me to have to enable data...

    Help with new Pie phone please

    Exactly why I don't want to root it lol Sure, give me a few minutes Edit: Actually, what exactly do you need a screenshot of? Do you mean the "Network and internet?" I posted 4 pictures but it says a moderator needs to approve it before it can be posted. 2 are from the phone information, 1...

    Help with new Pie phone please

    We're neighbors lol No, there's no dots anywhere. Nothing that says APN or Access Point Names anywhere. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to find the APN settings. I think the Android 9 hides it and Verizon blocks it. Edit: I read somewhere that rooting this phone allows you to...

    Help with new Pie phone please

    Nope, nothing says safe mode. If you're in New York, I could meet you and let you test it out haha I'm using Verizon Wireless. It did automatically do the APN. I contacted Verizon and they won't help me. Edit: In Mobile Network settings, I changed the CDMA roaming mode from Home to Automatic...

    lol it is. Unfortunately, I don't speak Chinese When the phone first came back on, it said 4g HD. Then it went back to 3gR. Is there another way to boot the phone into safe mode?

    No, I do not see any other options. I'm going to try powering it down without selecting anything. Fingers crossed that I don't format the phone. Ok, I got lucky. The phone restarted.

    So I looked up how to put the phone in safe mode and after turning it off, I turned it back on then held the volume up and down buttons. Now I see a black screen with 5 options to choose from but all are in Chinese The third option down says GPS and then more Chinese Which line should I choose?

    Help with new Pie phone please

    I had not tried doing that as I figured it was just a waste of time. However, since you suggested it, I just tried it. Strangest thing. Now it says 3gR which I assume stands for roaming. However, all of the roaming settings are disabled. I tried sending a plain text message and it now says...

    Help with new Pie phone please

    So I have a Blackview BV9700 with Android Pie on Verizon's network. Phone works very nicely so far but two problems I'm having: 1: When I enable my wifi, it seems to turn off my 3g/4g connection which is disabling my phone calls and text messages. As soon as I turn off the wifi, the text...
