Help Droid problems

[SpasticPat]

My droid, starting last night won't connect via data. Airplane mode is off, I have a perfect signal and have revolted and battery pulled multiple times. I haven't done anything different or installed any new apps or anything. The last thing I did before it stopped working was a normal call to one of my friends. The only other thing I can think to try is a factory reset but I don't want to lose all my apps. Any suggestions or how can I back everything up if I do a full reset? Thank you!

Are you rooted and does your Wifi still work? I would recommend Titanium Backup to backup all your apps (& app data) if you are and it does. Then do the hard reset.

A factory reset will only change out things like settings for apps, account settings, etc. It will not fix hardware issues.

You have a potentially bigger problem - in that your WiFi chip may be on the fritz. Or, you may have a slightly smaller problem - in that you may need to jump start it.

Take the battery out of the phone and let it sit for about 10 minutes (I'm being safe, it can probably be fixed in less time, but we want to be sure). Then put it back in and power it on and see what happens.
