AnonD-302492, 08 Oct 2014flashed the rom many times,still no mobile data.apn errorAfter restoring,I just changed my Airtel sim with a reliance,which auto create apn and I got access to apn settings,manually create a Airtel apn on settings,didnt switch off,just reswap the reliance with Airtel and I am good to go.
I have not updated all apps,still getting nearly no problems aside apn settings before yesterday.When mobile data on,lockscreen(slide)unlocked automatically now.Remember I haven't updated my apps after restore,so that might be the cause.Battery is ok for me.No heating too after yesterday's update.

I bought the phone last Sep. 16, 2014, then on Oct 7 I cannot open it, but the day before I charge it and it took time to be fully charged. It's the same thing that happened to my buddy, we bought it in the same store. Hers was just a week.

[deleted post]You probably customised keyboard before update.

Power off the phone.

Press power and volume down buttons at the same time and continue holding them until phone turns on into DOS lookalike screen. Release buttons and press volume up to confirm.

Now choose full recovery.

Let it finish.

After reboot at the end of process, enter your gmail address again so settings and apps get downloaded again.
