[HTC Inspire 4G] newuser21:
hi guys,

I started to get this clicking sound from camera yesterday while closing and opening camera app. I never noticed this clicking/ticking sound before. I restarted my phone, took battery out and its still there. Sometimes its louder that i can even notice while holding my phone. Its not coming out from speaker and i checked all settings. Its mechanical and coming out from camera. I have no problem using camera. Everything else working fine. i am on stock rom never rooted. I was wondering if you guys ever noticed this on your phone. I searched on google but didnt find anyone with a same problem on Inspire 4g. Thanks in advance.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
HI!

I have a HTC Desire CDMA through a small carrier called Bluegrass Cellular. I was having problems with my recovery so i ran RUU by US Cellular. Now my phone number in about phone is showing 0000002538.

It is obvious that the number is wrong. I have flashed the same RUU without any problems.

Now i cannot make calls at all. Most threads say use another phone to fix your sim card. Well my carrier dont use sim cards.

I know there has to be a way to fix it... I mean bluegrass has to put my phone number in somehow. I typed ##3282# and changed my MSID to the correct phone number but still have not fixed my problem.

Anyone have any ideas? I now have a phone that will not do any type of communication.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
I just fixed it. I don't know how it fixed it but here is what I did...

I reran the same RUU... US Cellular (2.1):

http: // 2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=87

Then opened dialer and dialed ##3282#.

Clicked "Edit Mode"

used my carriers password (usually "000000")

Clicked "Advanced"

Clicked "MSID"

Changed MSID to my 10 digit phone number

Clicked "Menu" Button

Clicked "Commit Changed"

Clicked "Ok" to reboot phone

And that fixed it. Good luck with anyone else with this problem!

and remember do this at your own risk! I am not responsible for any error it may cause!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
well i just realized that that only fixed my issue where it cannot call text or talk.. But it however did not change the number back in "About Phone".

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
My GSM phone has the same prob... but it happened when a moved my old phone number from my last phone over to my new sim card.... my about phone shows the number I had for 5 days before my old number replaced it, it is only a cosmetic thing. (the number it shows does not work by the way)

Ill look into it and if i can find any thing ill post here for you :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
I figured out how to fix it... I was like duh when u did. All u have to do is dial ##000000# (could change depending on ur carrier). And click edit mode. Then it will allow you to edit MSID AND MDN all in one page. Hope this helps somebody else!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
I fixed it if you have the probs with GSM cards, pop it in a SIM reader and edit the "My Phone Numbers" field :)

Did you ever get the XXX CSC sorted, I have the same problem.
[EVO 4G General] Android.Junkii:
Wow..its like its hard to beleive but than again, ITS NOT :/ So Sprint is taking the same route as Microsoft with the ban-hammer over rooting? Seems fishy..i understand about the excessive roaming data, ive read that even in Cricket Wireless' agreement.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Are you saying that you're tethering three computers off your phone and taking Micrososft Updates? That could explain the excessive data usage right there and why you were flagged. An adroid pone should never be visiting the Microsoft Update website.

(EDIT: Just re-read your post where you say you pay the $30.00 tethering fee... well, that pretty much puts the lie to Sprint's "unlimited data" claims.)
[EVO 4G General] fldash:
Something doesn't seem right... If you are using 45GB a month then you are doing something and that is excessively high usage and to be honest, I don't blame them for kicking you off their network in order to protect it from customers who arent' using it as their sole internet provider (which it is not designed to be).

The issue here is quality of service. Sprint is in trouble imo. They have all these great phones, but their service (especially data rates) are going into the dump. I never get above 600 kbits/s and 3G is supposed to be as high as 3 mbits/s.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Agree about the 45GB part. That's probably why you were flagged and dropped. I doubt Sprint would give a rats ass about someone who's rooted but only using a few hundred MB of data each month.
[EVO 4G General] Agfadoc:
Are you the reason my speeds are so slow? ;)

That's excessive bro. Since you had been paying for the hotspot, then I would argue the case, but it appears from the outside that you may have abused the system and got caught.

Adapt and overcome...
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
holy wall of text .... my eyes hurt
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
if its unlimited.

how can using it be abuse?
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
The problem is, say, because my USB port was not holding a charge or charging, even when you think that you have Unrooted your phone....and take it in for service.....they are starting to use that as a reason to not allow you to use your insurance to have it fixed because their software shows that it is now or was in the past rooted...thus violating Sprint's terms and conditions.....so that was my point...it is just a heads up that they do know......even when running a RUU to completely wipe your phone....it is the pinging that that do to your phone that goes back to their servers that tell them....and they will/can use that against you when you need a repair service......
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
I think basically what you have proved is that "unlimited data" doesn't actually mean "unlimimted data" even if you're paying for the hotspot feature.

Right now you're on track to use about 20GB of data in one month. It sounds like this isn't really an aberration either, given that your data usage has spiked as high as 45GB.

I don't doubt that Sprint can tell a lot about your phone's history by examining your current build and update history. But I don't think a typical user has much to worry about (yet) based on what you've told us... not unless they, too, are using tens of GB of data per month.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
I don't carry the insurance on my EVO or my Nook Color for that reason: rooting violates your warranty. Why pay these companies for an insurance policy if you intend to do something with the device that will invalidate that warranty? Sure, maybe you can cover you tracks well enough that they'll never know when you bring it in for warranty service... but maybe not.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
That's my point though....listing what I have listed above....what in the world would it ever cause it to use that type of usage.....I mean.....when I first got my EVO and didn't know anything about rooting.....it was like 43GB the first month.....it just doesn't make any sense and it has all been reported.....by ME....to Sprint in the past why is my data usage so high.....they never mentioned anything....like...it could be this or that.....nothing......so, I just never worried about it because I thought it as a glitch in their system or something......I told my friends and they were like "Whoa"....that is a lot but they couldn't figure out how in the heck it could even download that much in a month.....mostly....it is around 9-15GB a month....45GB was the most.....but still......where is the 9-15GB coming from.....movies would be the most obvious...but I can't/don't stream or download any movies....so I am just perplexed, actually.....especially since I was the one many months ago that brought it to their attention.....but I would always get the "Don't worry...you have the EVO where everything is unlimited" story.......NOT!
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Quick question: Are you using encryption? if not, it could be that other people are connecting to your Evo and gobbling up your data.

Note: I don't now much about the built-in hotspot feature, so I don't know if it requres encryption or not.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Yes, I do......or did.....and not sure if anyone knows....but, if you get this letter....does this mean you may never have another Sprint account? I forgot to ask that part when I was talking to the REP. She said that she was just telling everyone that kept calling that Sprint must be paying an arm and a let for 3G service.....so when the data is high or if your phone calls are roaming....it costs Sprint a lot of money.....So.....wondering as I heard before that only 4G is truly unlimited......if that is really true.....
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I'm am at t

2,636,454 kb right now with 13 days left in the billing cycle. Does that equal 2 gb? (if its not on a tape measure,i can't figure it out...lol)
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
If Sprint is cancelling service due to modifications on your device, and I'm going to research the exact court case, number, etc and keep it handy, then they are violating the court ruling from last year that allows the end user to modify their device, as long as it's owned, not leased or rented, in anyway they see fit.

Warranty adherence is up to the end user, not the service provider. no one can FORCE you to adhere to a warranty on anything you own. Anything. They can only advise the potential for voiding a warranty.

As for your data usage. 45 gigs is an insane amount of data.

I understand though, that if you pay 30 bucks a month for tethering, which is basically what it costs for AT&T DSL's lowest priced package, then they should have no say in how you use it, unless it's for illegal means.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
1 Gigabyte = 1,048,576 Kilobytes

1 Gigabyte = 1,024 Megabytes

1 Megabyte = 1,024 Kilobytes

So, yeah....you are using about 2.6GB
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
So maybe 5 gig by the end of the month between 2 evo's. Not so bad....

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
How can you determine the amount of data you've used thus far in a month? Do you have to install a separate app, or is there an option built-in.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There has never been a cap on 3G
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I could have swore that, previous to the $10 premium data charge there was.
[EVO 4G General] westtxn:
Kinda new to this rooted thing...I just wanna know if this is something I should be worried about. The majority of the time I'm on wifi from home, which means I use very little 3g data..don't use 4G since its not in my area, and very rarely go into roaming. I've been reading that carriers are finding ways of tracking down rooted phones but I'm also reading posts that they've never had a problem. What's ur opinion??
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
*gasp* you could be right
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I promise you, there's no issue and there's no risk of you getting kicked off the carrier because you're rooted.

Act like I never am.. ;)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Just got to be careful with the throttled cap
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Um ? :confused::confused:
[EVO 4G General] Craigmier:
Agreed
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
/sarcasm
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
Bull. You're an idiot. If you have 40+ gb of data use a month, you're downloading a lot of stuff. I don't care what your incompetent brain thinks you are or aren't doing or where you are or how you roam. Data is data and you're doing it. And I'm glad their kicking you off because it will make the network less stupid without you there.
[EVO 4G General] kellybrf:
they also dont track what websites you go to and/or block them. they also dont track to see if youre rooted. they also havent been around since 1991.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I've never had any websites blocked by Sprint and I know for a FACT that they cannot track if you're rooted, without physically examining he phone.
[EVO 4G General] mchristian:
Just a thought

Im sure I have not spent as much time thinking thru all of this as others so this is in no way a challenge to anyone's intelligence or theory.

If our phones truly have "unlimited" data plans for internet access, what happens to the business plans of cable companies that provide internet access. With unlimited internet access on phones that can share that access with home computers and laptops, do we still need the "hardwired" access that we pay for now. Essentially we are paying for service twice. And with that in mind how would cable companies or other service providers endeavor to deal with that threat to their income stream.

How many people here still have landlines for phone service. Let's face it has already happen once. They would be very foolish to not see it coming.

Hope this is not viewed as being off topic.
[EVO 4G General] android242:
Question about roaming and Sprint plans, first reply for this noob on XDA..

Just curious if Sprint has anything in place to make sure they don't accidentally sell plans to people that they know live and operate away from their network. To me it seems like it would be irresponsible and unfair if they didn't, esp if they know you live and operate out in the sticks where their network could potentially just suck. I understand the business aspect of it not being profitable for them to eat the roaming charges from the other phone companies. We all signed the contract, but a contract works both ways. We pay for a service if they can't provide decent coverage in your area shouldn't Sprint bare partial burden of responsibility by not offering the service in the first place.

P.S. Rooted my evo 3 months ago I'm having so much fun fxxxing with my phone. I don't think I'll ever go in rooted again.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Like all other carriers, no they really don't.

It's kinda the customers responsibility to determine what service covers you for where you're going to be.

Edit: Let's keep in mind that the 30 day return policy is in place so that you can test the service/phone.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
The sales rep should always check coverage for your address before opening an account
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
And you should always wash your hands after you go to the bathroom. ;)

We both know that most don't check though.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I've canceled enough roaming accounts, I know, but I always wash my hands after going to the bathroom
[EVO 4G General] android242:
Totally, I guess that's fair...

Still think the in-store reps ought to be smart enough to be aware of their local service limitations and be up front about it though. This way you know to keep an eye on your roaming. When I lived in LA I had a strong signal all the time, never dropped calls, internet was super fast, 4g seemed to be available everywhere I went in So Cal. Now I'm in Denver I only get 4g in downtown, I constantly drop calls, people are always asking me to repeat myself, internet is painfully slow, and I see the roaming symbol in my status bar a lot.

I use a lot of data (as slow as it is here) and even though Sprint hasn't hassled me yet, I'm definitely going to keep a closer eye on my usage and roaming after reading this thread.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I completely agree with you but the fact is, most people that work at places [and this is for ALL carriers and even stores not related to technology...car places...auto stores etc] don't know anything about the products they sell.

Is that sad? Yes.

Is that what you get for paying people $7 an hour? Yeah.
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
Sure OP, sure.

Sprint is just wanting to waste time and labor hours on this because they are doing so well.
[EVO 4G General] halo9909:
Sprint does not care at least with 4g, Just hit 100gb, I dont really care if i get disconnected,been constantly netflix on tv, and i have a wifi router plugged in to my 4g modem and i know people are uploading through like filesonic and downloading massive files only thing is the modem seems to crash from overheating
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Did you post this from your copper cage room with your tin-foil hat on?
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
4G is not tracked on Sprints website. Only 3G service.
[EVO 4G General] kellybrf:
yes, they do. when you run credit on a customer if their home address is out of the service area it tells you and you cant proceed. now there are ways around that, and of course they dont proactively ask and check all the places you frequently travel, but the basic check is in place. im sure there are a few reps out there who get around it in unethical ways, but it doesnt really do much for them as itll likely be cancelled for roaming before the chargeback window closes.

no, im wearing my common sense hat at the moment :)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It must be a broken hat if this comment is related to:

Sprint tracks and blocks websites? LMAO

Track to see if you're rooted? Again, LMAO. If that were true then every phone on my plan would not be eligible for warranty bud.

Sprint has existed in many forms dating back to 1899.
[EVO 4G General] *.jpg:
Rooting doesn't violate your warranty. I have had multiple issues taken care of on my phone AND my wife's. Both rooted. All at an official Sprint repair center. They even called and verified it with Corporate.

Anyone telling you otherwise is misinformed.

SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Technically, they CAN void your warranty if you root.

Doesn't mean they HAVE to.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
Why is anyone bothering to reply to this anymore lol. The OP is a liar and he knows why he is getting cancelled there's no reason to argue about it lol.

So as long as i dont use over say,20GB,a month,or try to return my rooted Evo for warranty or insurance work,then i wont have a problem. Ive personally rooted several Sprint Android devices,for friends,mostly to enable free wifi tethering,& my Evo running MikG 2.15. Ive also personally unrooted a cpl of those devices so they could be taken to Sprint for repair,or replacement,& no ones had any problems i know of bcuz pf rooting,xcept a few that took their phones in rootd. Even with Netflix,Megaviewer Pro(best movie streaming app,google it,its great),& with all my other usage im only around 1-3Gb a month,& i thought that was alot.Ive been with Sprint since 97-98.

I was wondering if anyone has realized why Sprint wants there phones locked could it be to prevent what this person is doing when he says steal your neighbors internet or others wanting free wifi tether or hotspot it is theft people and if it continues they will start tracking and they wont be just cancelling services if you know want I mean This is just a personal opion you can take it or leave it
[EVO 4G General] life64x:
I respect your opinion..in my view..if I pay for my phone and Internet that is on it..my own phone..how is it theft for using my Internet on my phone with wi-fi tether on a device I own?..does that make me a thief. If I connect headphones to listen to pandora..is this not a external device..doi I have to pay a headphone fee? Or connecting to my t.v. To watch Netflix...from my phone..via hdmi...is this theft also? Since technically this is tethering...do I need to pay a t.v. Fee?..It is my own phone..my own Internet ...why do I need to pay a fee to access it...my own stuff?
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
Well for starters sprint doesn't lock anything. So your entire thought is invalid.

Only 1-3GB a month? I just checked my usage due to this thread and for the past 12 months ranged from 2.4GB to 6.4GB. 22 days left in the cycle this month and I'm already pushing 2GB. It's almost all cell phone usage too (tether like once every few months). Is there any app out there that will track how much each app is using?

I blame it on all the ads that my free apps keep serving up... the netflix, youtube, radio, podcasts, twitter, and facebook are just a tiny drop ;P
[EVO 4G General] tnerb123:
I am assuming your phone was tethered not using there tethering plan. You were not banned due to being rooted, You were banned due to using a tool to circumvention there tethering plan.

You could try and fight it in court, but there going to come back and say you broke the contract. :)

After reading through all of this, I have decided to keep my rooted evo plugged in the next whole billing cycle and continuously stream data 24/7 all month long.

I too have paid $30 monthly for unlimited hotspot usage since evo came out last year.

I have 3 evos and an overdrive hotspot on my account.

I pay over $460 a monthly.

I will report back to see if sprint cancels my account at the next billing cycle and how much data I use.

lol (:
