[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Is Sprint having outages that i don't know about? At least 5 times a week (past 3 weeks) my 3G icon goes away and my signal bars turn gray and i cant call, text or use data. Its extremely frustrating! Its not my bill/service as im always on time and ive NEVER been late or missed a payment so that's not the problem. I just dont get it. Ive reset my phone a million times! What is going on? When i make calls it just says "your account cannot be validated" and all text get rejected. After a couple of hours the 3G comes back and i can make calls. Sprint you're already horrible please dont make me pay cancellation fees because i will.

Anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Rabidmechanic05:
Sounds like a tower issue, happened to me months ago, call and complain, got a credit when doing so myself. Worse case scenario they make you hard reset, it doesn't work, they send a tech to the tower and they figure our there is a problem

[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Thanks for response man. I thought about tower issues but its been happening way too much so i started believing it was my actual phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
If you go to the official sprint forums you will see many posts with these same problems, so its not the phone. http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/buzzaboutwireless/network-and-coverage
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Yeah you're right, i browsed around and its a few people with same issue. My phone is working (for now) but im sure it will happen again. I called sprint and they said my area was experiencing technical difficulties lol, i said "for the past 3 weeks" the rep got silent. Im looking into the big red screw sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Just call for a credit, remember, you can't use unlimited data on Big Red, and if they won't give you most of your bill back, try speaking to a manager and demanding your money back as you were not getting the required service specified in the contract.

EDIT: Remember, go up the chain of commands if needed, and be persistent.

OMG the LG Optimus' 3D UI blows my mind man it's awesome!

Here is the Youtube vid HERE

Would it be possible to put this on the Evo 3D (I can learn, I just want to know if its possible, first)
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Possible? Yes.

Probable? Nope.

It's possible because the Evo 3D has the same type of screen technology; it's not probable because that UI is software that was created specifically for that phone and, I'm assuming, is not open-source which means for anyone to be able to "port" it over to our phone they'd have to do some serious reverse-engineering.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Ever since the Atrix bootloader was unlocked, we've had significant problems with developers copying work without permission. Most of the offenses were completely innocent. Still, I seek to clarify XDA's rules on the matter with this thread.

XDA Rule #12

If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.

These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
​

A few clarifications, tips, and explanations:

Recognize that all non-source ROMs are based off of Motorola's original development work. Since these ROMs use the same base, they inevitably feel similar.

Any ROM release must offer something unique or different than previous ROMs. One cannot navigate to the thread for an already-built ROM, look at the feature list, implement it into a stock build, throw a theme on it, and release it. Themes do not qualify a ROM as a separate release. If you wish to copy a ROM and theme it, please release a theme in the "Themes & Apps" forum. Please do not copy a ROM, add one feature and a theme, then release it.

All ROM developers must ask permission from other developers if any work is copied. Ask permission via the XDA private messaging system. If the developer does not respond or refuses permission, you may not use his/her work.

All developers who suspect copying violations without permission should please report the issue via private message to kennethpenn.

Users should not post messages like "this is a copy of _____'s work" in threads that contain copied work. Instead, report the post or private message kennethpenn and the matter will be handled appropriately.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It seems that some users are struggling with the concept of plagiarism here on the Atrix boards. Let me clarify one thing:

You may not ever release another person's work (even if you modified it) without their consent BEFORE posting.
[HTC EVO 3D] grandpasghost:
So.. Fiance just called sprint and apparently they knew it was rooted, and deactivated it. she now has to call them from another phone so they can walk her through un-rooting it or whatev and then activate it. WTF?

Not looking forward to going home... lol.

This doesnt seem to happen that often on the forums, or at least no ones talking about it much, or dumb enough to contact sprint for phone issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Never heard of that. I'm sure they didn't do it because it was rooted. I've contacted them multiple times from my phone. Other rooted phones. Hell, I think I even let it slip one time that it was rooted. They didn't care.

Did she pay her bill? Lol
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
This does not sound right... I've had my phone in the sprint store a couple of times, and they clearly saw it was rooted.... what was the issue she needed to contact sprint for?

Sent from another Dimension!
[HTC EVO 3D] grandpasghost:
It was difficult to get real facts out of the conversation since it was mainly charged with emotion lol. But she was having issues sending text messages originally. Mind you it was rooted only, with original stock rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I tell sprint at the beginning of every conversation that I am rooted. And I have had more conversations than I would like. More than likely they couldn't get it to do something and are blaming it on being rooted. I have had that happen more than once, some of their techs are just plain ignorant.

[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Did u use htc method? Sounds like the tech was just lazy to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Willing to bet this is it. They are just wanting it unrooted so they can "try" to do something. From what I've seen they like to blame everything because of root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Oh no man, I hope you told her NOT to make that call.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Bingo. My bet is on that! Some little worm of a tech probably did something wrong and it resulted in loss of service on the phone. Now they're blaming it on root and are saying they refuse to help unless the phone is back to stock.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] grandpasghost:
Aparently she went to the Sprint Store. The guy there said you have SuperUser your phone has been rooted. And then proceeded to de-activate it. Now it wont even activate.

Original stock rom, just plain rooted. So as of right now sprint store cant touch it, since its now out of warranty. And I imagine made her feel like a criminal about it.

Called sprint and the nice lady said, even though its a stock rom just having rooted alone can cause issues with PRL update and hands free activation in general. she said i just just un-root it and try to activate it. and of course she gave me a advisory that if i chose to root it again that was my decision.

It wont be my decision since my lady is scarred by this event and made me promise to never touch her phone again.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Since HTC gave us the unlock, I'd make them give you a new phone. HTC allows the root or they wouldn't have given the unlock. And they deactivated it, that's bull****.
[HTC EVO 3D] techspec06:
And that is what they were after. They probably knew from talking to her that she wasn't the one that rooted the phone and wanted to discourage her from letting someone else ever doing it again. It's too bad that they've manipulated and misinformed her in that way. Being able to nandroid is reason enough to root a phone if you're like me and cannot afford a problematic phone. It's great to be able to restore a previously working backup when necessary.

Like someone said earlier, they like to point their finger at root when their level 1 tech can't figure out what's wrong with a phone.

Jason
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Next time, if you go in to get something fixed, uninstall the superuser app with titanium backup or by removing it from system/app. You can reflash the su zip when you get the phone back.

From my experience, all they do is check for superuser in the app drawer. If they ask if its rooted, say no.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Rubbish. Complete rubbish. They are jerking you around. Call this number 1-866-727-0665, it's sprint executive services. They will ask where to direct your call tell them you are having service issues. When they connect you, don't mention root at all, just that it won't activate.. They will walk it through from there.. If it's completely stock you have no worries, it will activate.. If for some reason they won't help you, activate it online..

Trust me they are just douchebagging you.

In my opinion Sprint Techs are to stupid and they don't know ****...
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Not trying to troll, but I would of never mentioned root in the first place. Obviously your other half didn't know that but unfortunately, letting sprint know got her in this mess. You rooted her phone, she had a issue, you wasnt there to fix it, she calls customer service, she falls for the bull**** they sold her, now you have a perfectly deactivated phone. I don't care if HTC released and unlock tool, sprint still cares less about rooted phones. Every young sprint employee that I've ever talked to in the stores seems like they are trained to not have or deal with a rooted phone. Why wouldn't customer service be the same. I've talk to one Guy at the sprint place where I pay my bill, and he was just so sure that root screws up your phone completely. Its like they have been brainwash to think that.

My point is, you can't go telling sprint employees that you have root. Sprint would do everything in their power to deny of service.

[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
no they didnt
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
It's beyond ridiculous that they deactivated the phone over it being rooted. Being rooted means that you no longer get a warranty, not that you no longer get service. Ever since my hero, any time I take a phone in, I either set ADW as the default launcher and hide the SU app, or uninstall SU completely. Obvoliously you should also make sure you're running a stock-looking ROM as well. Doing this, despite many issues and device swaps, I've never once been questioned over being rooted. Also, just because HTC has provided an unlock method, doesn't mean Sprint can't take a stand against it by saying that it nullifies your warranty.
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:
Not here. Idk if any of the members live in woodbridge va, but once I went wit my mom to return her sgs2 for an EVO 3d, and the store manager was there n I star to talk 2 him about the EVO vs the sgs2 ( he has the sgs2) and then he told me that he just to have the EVO rooted n overcloked n i star to show him my EVO wit the eternity ROM n the karnel from ziggy, and the scores that I was gettin on the benchmarks.

[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Just activate it online yourself. If it was active before, it should be easy to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] vampirefo:
This is a funny post, think about what you wrote, the tech knew the phone was rooted because of superuser app, that is funny, he had no clue at all the phone was rooted, he seen an app and talked your girl into confessioning.

Anyway the best thing to do is not root her new phone, let her use stock. Root isn't for everyone, I am a dev my wife's phone has never been rooted nor will it ever be. In the long run its best that some people don't use rooted phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] faithofgod:
I wonder if the tech thought he would "unroot" it and messed it up where it would not activate and then blamed the rooting for the problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] vampirefo:
Well seeing the tech thought the phone was rooted via superuser app he would have simply uninstalled the superuser app, and the phone would then be unrooted. So no need to deactivate the phone.

The tech deactivated the phone cause the girl told the tech that the bootloader was unlocked, and perhaps was using a custom kernel and recovery, which the tech didn't know about until he was told, all he knew was he saw a superuser app and thought the phone might be rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] grandpasghost:
Wow, phone may never have been de-activated, but it sure as heck wont call out. getting the error 16 code, sprint techs are uselss. care to help me out please see my new thread in Q&A
[HTC EVO 3D] RabbidHampster:
I just don't think this story is completely accurate. Having a phone rooted is a end user's decision. The phone was bought and paid for by the user so they can do what ever they wish to it. These are not leased items i.e. certain cable boxes, rented apartments, leased vehicles, etc. The only outcome that is feasible is that tech would say he will not troubleshoot the device which I have never seen happen. To deactivate service over it seems like a breach of contract if anything. Just my two cents though.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
I think you're right, I don't think they can de-activate a phone for that. They could however refuse to exchange it under warranty or protection plan.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
I called the sprint store down the road from me looking for an old 3d with 1.4 hboot, he asked what was wrong with mine, I said "Nothing, I rooted and I want to be S-off" He says "Is it fast as **** now?" yes. yes it is.

Sprint does not care f its rooted unless you are trying to activate a rooted phone running a non-stock rom. If they are trying to do tech support over the phone, and its running a non-stock rom, nothing will work. Wehn you tell them its rooted, they assume you bricked it because the tech **** they're trying doesn't work.

When it comes to dealing with sprint about your phone, go stock first so you don't have this issue again.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
Clearly not a married man.

Rule #1, don't muck with wifeys phone/computer

That is all.

(And total BS about deactivation. Kindly ask a store employee for their store & regional manager since you want to" praise their hard work." I actually did that. If you're in the midwest, I can give you the regional mgrs email)

I smell service credits....
[HTC EVO 3D] jrmatics:
Like one person said it only voids your warranty. Seems like the tech messed something up and then couldn't repalce the phone cause of the warranty. How would he tell your wife I messed up but now you have to pay full price for replacement cause I didn't do something right
[HTC EVO 3D] fatalbert85:
Just to update from his Q&A thread, he got his issue resolved. Error 16 is a "phone needs to be reset on the network" error. Most likely an ESN swap or hard reset was performed, and the PRL update resolved his issue.

Doesn't sound like a Sprint employee did anything incorrectly, i.e. deactivating service on the line entirely. Maybe some misinformation...but I'm willing to bet miscommunication between what the rep told her, vs. what she reported back to OP.

Either way, glad to see it resolved.
[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
Here's my first ROM. It's based off TMoUSA stock rom, but I tore out all of the HTC junk I could and rooted it.

1)Wipe everything by going to CWM (alquez's version). Clear Data, then go to Mounts and storage and format boot and system there too.

2) Next install the ROM from zip.

3) without rebooting, go to CWM and install Melethron's data2whatever.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867049

Then reboot. If you get a white HTC logo page, reboot and clear cache and dalvick cache and data. Let it boot.

Try this a few times if it doesn't work the first time.

I boot with 459mb out of my 512 partition free. 18mb used.

This is running important system files from your SD so I'd suggest using a quality SD card and backing up your system regularly. Don't worry about class of card if you have a quality card like SanDisk or Kingston. They are plenty fast enough.

Thanks to:

Tara Tike for all the time testing the removal of these apps.

Tyrone1 for also working on TMOUS roms

Alquez for CWM and CM7 work

melethron for data2WE

darktremor for apps2SD

and of course

No doubt a simple problem, but i am lost. I flashed this on with cwm and no problems whatsoever(although i created mahor problems earlier by accidentially wiping a system and formatting the sd card so i had nothing to boot into! Somehow managed to get CWM back on after trial and error)

Any help gratefully appreciated...surprised i am the only one? Was using CWM rom but had the same issues with both wifi and 3g turning on and off wothout warning..
