[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note_E:
Isn't there a file the FP stores prints in and other cache info? I remember a thread here with a broken FP and they deleted this file, rebooted, and fixed the FP. I will look for the thread
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesjohnson:
Yeah I believe I remember seeing this thread as well...for some reason I think it might be damaged though because it'll recognize my finger once out of maybe 20 swipes but it'll always give me a swipe was too short. And the thing is I don't know when this first started happening because I haven't used the fp scanner for the longest...if you find that thread though let me know and Ill still try it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ju_one06:
im also face same problem..

any solution?

Has anyone found a working version of Swype that works with qHD screens?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
Yes, I'm using it with this phone right now as I reply to this message.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] itsmefu:
You can sign up to download Swype from this page.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CardboardDoom:
Out of curiosity, what's the difference between Swype and the Trace keyboard that comes preinstalled?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strikeIII:
can you share where i can get or which version you are using?

i signed up for the beta but when i click on the link from my email it takes me to a page saying that i am not using an android device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
It did that to me too. Go into your default browser's settings and enable "Mobile view" then try it again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strikeIII:
Awesome! That worked! Thank you!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Senorkabob:
One is the HTC IME implemented version, the other is the original Swype. I've found Swype to be much better.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pimmr:
Hi all,

OK so before I start let me convince you that I have put in a fair bit of effort and done some research before I post this. I have been working to solve this for two night now to no avail.

I have been playing Gameloft's Modern Combat 2 for a few weeks now on my TF, it runs great and I love it. Yes I am using the proper APK and yes I know it is not officially supported on the TF but if it was I would be the first to buy this game.

As I said it has been running fine until a few days ago. Suddenly when I launched the app, it FC.

In between playing the game I have been updating and wiping and flashing my ROM (primarily PRIME rom) with every update that came out in the past weeks/months. Never did I have any problem. When I did a full wipe, I just reinstalled the proper APK and let the data download over wifi.

What I have tried now:

- Removed the app, removed the data, reboot and reinstalled.

- Replaced the data folder from a buddy of mine where the game runs

- Superwiped, reinstalled Prime rom with latest updates and installed the apk and downloaded data

- Superwiped, reinstalled Prime rom with latest updates and installed the apk and copied working data folder

- Superwiped, reinstalled Krakd rom with latest updates and installed the apk and copied working data folder

Whatever I do, it keeps FC. I am 100% positive I have the correct apk for Tegra 2.

It leaves me clueless as to why it keeps FC instantly when I open the app, while I have no problem with any other app. Nova 2 HD and other Gameloft games are working fine.

If anyone has any suggestion what to try next I would be happy to hear.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oka1:
When you use the term "proper" you bought this game? and took the apk and loaded on on the Transformer and the latest new rom now is causing it to crash ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rruss:
I have heard of people using a evo on verizon i been eyeing the droid razr so if possible i wanna flash it to sprint. I called a store they said no but they prolly just want me to spend money on a new phone. So is it possible?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hanson68:
AFAIK, this is impossible because Sprint will not activate a phone from outside their network.

I believe the CDMA frequencies are incompatible, but don't quote me on that.

Are you sure the Evos are in Verizon? I've heard of them on Cricket and other smaller carriers that use the Sprint network, but not Verizon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JGW310:
I do not believe this is possible due to Sprint being a jerk. You COULD buy the Droid Razr unlocked and plead with a Sprint rep, but I would say you have next to no chance of getting them to activate it for you. Sprint will only activate a phone that has an ESN number that is in their database, they COULD activate it, but that is against their TOS and no rep even has the power to do it for you, you would have to practically get Dan Hesse on the phone to do it ;)

My advice would be to wait a little bit (unless your current phone is on the fritz and you need a new one now, and in that case, go with the Epic 4G Touch, I love mine!!) and see what is out there, the Galaxy Nexus MAY or MAY NOT come to Sprint, but I would expect at least 2 or 3 top of the line Android devices by the end of Q1 2012...... Ultimately the choice is up to you... Best of luck!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duced:
It is being done you have to unlock the phone so the freg can be changed to work on a different carrier. You do not tell what type of phone u just give the ESN number after you hack the hardware info. You would be surprised how often this is being done. Most of your local cell phone providers have the software to make this happen and when i mean your local cell phone provider. I am talking about the ones that offer service cheap or have the phone in the store that you can buy. the mom and pops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I have to "lol" at some of the replies. Sprint and Verizon use the same cdma frequencies, 800mhz/1900mhz. Why do you think Sprint phones can voice and data roam on VZW?

Anyway, what the OP wants to do is achievable via *wink* *wink* methods, and it's not easily done anyway but possible.

Google is your friend.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I thought there was a law against them not allowing this?

When I was with T Mobile (GSM) they were required by federal to give you the subsidy unlock code and could not deny the usage of any other GSM phone on their network so long as the IMEI wasn't blacklisted for being stolen/lost. I could call AT&T to unlock one of their phones to use on T Mobile - obviously data was a nogo because of the AWS band.

So there's nothing like that for CDMA carriers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a454nova:
Like what newalker91, none Sprint ESN will not work. But any Verizon phone will work on Sprint. You will have to do the same thing as they are doing to the EVO's.

Look for a broken or older Android phone with a good ESN. ;)

huh? Google it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
If that's the case, how can we load certain PRL's and roam on Verizon's network using 3G? Or is roaming a different story? It would seem we're not exactly "lock out" due to the ESN not being registered, maybe mildly restricted?

There seems to be some major gaps in what you said but I could be wrong, care to elaborate?

As far as reporting this thread, that's a douchey move. The OP has a legitimate question, it just seems people have heard different *facts* about the topic so there's a few different answers. That's no reason to report the thread and try to have it deleted - obviously there's an information issue on this subject that needs to be resolved. Even more of a reason to keep this thread open.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
CDMA phones are essentially unlocked. You can get your SPC/MSL, for my Vogue and Mogul, I called sprint ant they gave the MSL even though at the time I was under contract. Now I just use CDMAWS. Everyone knows Verizon's MSL code, 000000. With your msl you can change configurations to your hearts content, provided you have the software.

The problem is that Verizon and Sprint will not activate a meid/esn that is not in their system. Yes they are both protecting their interests by making sure you live up to your agreement but I also think they do not want to take the to time trouble shoot every stinking phone that some yahoo wants to put on their network. Keep in mind every phone they release has been tested and configured to work on their network, they don't some strange phone coming from a Korean/Chinese CDMA network with who knows what settings configured on their network. There are a ton of configuration options that other carriers can use. Thankfully Verizon and Sprint keep the configs on the simple side.

Getting a E4GT on Verizon/MetroPC/Virgin/Boost is a piece of cake. Its one of the easiest phones to do. Many HTC phone are harder to do but can be done. LGs look simple but the Optimus seems to require using LGNPST to unlock some entries before you can get changes to stick. I was using a Droid Incrdible on my Sero plan for 6 months before I changed phones. Going in to details on how is discouraged and I have been warned against doing so by a mod.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Yes, it's possible. When I worked at Sprint I had a customer come in with an Evo on Verizon (he later came back to Sprint). You take a Verizon smartphone and swap ESN's with the phone you want to put on. It's not illegal if you swap them, and it's not like anyone's going to know, because on their system, it'll show up as the other phone, not what you're actually using. It's not a straight-forward process but if you can follow directions it's not too hard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Applestoandroid-fandroid:
So If I were to call sprint and Had a droid razr that I want to use and I'm currently using a palm pre I Just give them my pre esn and they will use that to activate it? How is this possible because doesn't each phone have a specific ESN that allows that specific phone to be activated?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
It's not that simple. You have to use programs to swap the ESNs. As in take the ESN from the Pre and put it on the Droid Razr. And then you give them the Pre ESN (which is really the Droid Razr) and it'll work on Sprint. You'll still need to change some stuff like the APN/MMS settings, among other things, but out of the box, it should make calls/SMS texts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jayjaymac:
A little bit of a downer...

Theres only one problem with that... Droid Razr uses a Sim card for network identification. I know its CDMA, but all LTE phones on Verizon require a sim card, also it has no ESN number. So, until Sprint gets LTE, then no Razr on Sprint, unless someone hacks the sim card to have an ESN number (which I have seen with the HTC ThunderBolt), but if Sprint does get LTE, then you have to change the IMEI number with a 4G LTE phone on Sprints Network, and even then, you still only get Sprint 3G, unless they plan to use the same bands as Verizon, but good luck trying to get it on Sprint!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
ok here's the breakdown.. because 90% of the info in here isnt correct. few guys said some worthwhile stuff tho.. so everyone dont hate ;)

the droid razr isnt getting on sprint... youre not editing the moto meid. not possible. there are some scripts out there that edit the moto meid on bootup but its buggy and does not work on all motos. unless youre super mobile hacker.. youre not touching this method.

other phones... samsungs/htc/lg... as gedster314 said... can all be easily edited. each individual phone may have its quirks but in general.. they all generally use the same methods to edit meid/3g profiles.

now... as for what Jayjaymac said above about it not being able to work without a sim card. generally this is correct.. when doing everything by the book. but you can remove the sim card and rewrite the serial built into the phone and rewrite it as the meid.. and then youre on cricket/metro/boost etc. now again... youre not editing the moto meid... but its because of how moto locks down their phones.. NOT because of the lte sim. the samsung charge has a weird chipset so no one has interfaced it with QPST yet.. so no meid change there either. the htc thunderbolt can easily be put on any cdma network.. that has a sim. any htc device wouldnt be a problem putting on other networks... vzw gnex would work as well.

tl;dr

the moto cant be done... but not for the reasons people specified in this thread. if u wanna edit meid's.. dont ever choose moto.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yes, like auto said, the MEID was created as an ESN replacement. You cannot "clone" and MEID to another device to fool Sprint anymore. Old ESN devices could be done that way, but that is no longer the case with MEID
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
i didnt say that :P

you can certainly edit meid's on phones still. any htc device, 99% of samsung devices, 90% of lg devices... all editable. you can even force meid phones back to use esn-only if you must.

the issue in this thread is that the OP wanted to edit the motorola droid razr, but you are unable to edit it due to how motorola locks their phones down.

and to everyone else reading this thread.. no this thread will NOT be used for directions on how to do any of this. we're merely discussing whether something is technically possible or not.

question. I recently was using vzn S4, but now I am back to Sprint and just got their s4. Currently they're are no Custom roms for the sprint s4 that I like however the vzn S4 has one that I truly love. Is it possible to port my sprints S4 info onto the vzn S4 so I can receive my calls, text and internet but still keep the vzn S4 rom on it ? And is it possible to do this wo a sim card issue. Hate to waist a good fone. when I could use one for calls, text and the other for hotspot (and everything else too). Thanks in advance for any help and pointers

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
No, but you can't port the Verizon ROM over, either way you're looking at a lot of work.

I am running it on the flyer right now. (I'm on a 4g mifi right now so it is a little jerky, but I'll try at home later).

YOu have to choose a video like you are going to buy it, but then login to your account and it recognizes if you are a Prime member and lets you stream for free.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] x34:
Works for me!

Installed and runs just fine on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. UI elements on the main page are a little bunched up, but once you get to where you're going, it looks fine. Video is top notch, although you can't bring up the native REW/PLAY/FF controls - you have to back out and go back in to resume.

One thing about logging in - the only way I could figure out to login was to "purchase" something I knew was available to Prime folks and then login. It did not charge me, of course, and remembered my credentials.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
It will be interesting to see if Amazon plugs this little jail break since it is a major selling point for the Fire, or opens the Prime membership up to android in general to capture Netflix refugees.

My device is rooted and did try rootkeeper but did not make a difference. Going to the page directly does work with flash. Some videos are not Instant, even though they may be advertised as Instant. Would really like to get the amazon app working!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
read above, need the ota program to disable root when you want to run it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Big_O:
Got it to work! Had to kill the amazon program, run ota rootkeeper, then everything started. Good find friends :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NookFan:
I'm hoping Amazon releases an app with official non-Fire support. Question is, do they make more money selling Fire's or building their overall customer base? They don't make money selling Fire's, so making the app available to entice more people into their ecosystem seems like a viable business plan.

I guess we'll see...

Wow, there are a couple things I'd like to see addressed here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bsmith1051:
I have a relatively new SG2 on T-Mo and just had a scary incident last week related to my data usage.

Firstly, understand that I've been an Android user for two years on Sprint and know from that experience that my data usage has always averaged 300-500MB/mo, i.e., I am not a heavy user. I've also been completely satisfied with my new SG2 (battery etc) as well as the T-Mo network.

Last Friday, however, my phone unexpectedly died in the late afternoon. I plugged it in and powered-up, then got a warning that I was about to exceed my 2GB data-plan. I was only 3 days into the current billing-cycle! I called T-Mo and they said, "We can see your data-usage running as we speak." I said that was ridiculous, there was nothing running on the phone and I had just restarted it. There was no visible sign of any app or activity on the phone. Eventually, though, I realized what was happening:

Earlier that same day I had tried to email myself a large attachment. (I'm only running my work email-account which is on Exchange.) The email never came through and I realized I had probably exceeded the maximum size allowed by my email server.

Apparently

the phone did not gracefully give-up the outbox message! Instead it went berserk and tried/failed repeatedly to send the email, killing both my battery and my 2GB data-allotment in just a few hours.

T-Mo tech support had the good suggestion to remove (then re-add) my work email account, and that fixed the problem.

Conclusion: there's a bug in the Samsung Mail app where it does not recognize/accept an 'undeliverable' response from email servers, at least not the 'too big' response from Exchange servers.

___________

New issue:

So now I was paranoid and installed a data-usage widget to monitor my connection. In the next week my phone averaged ~45MB/day?! This was still insane, since I knew from experience I typically used 10MB/day. I called T-Mo to complain that one of their apps must be wasting my data-plan and they played dumb. They also said they had 'no control' over the crapware they'd force-installed on the phone. I not-so-politely told the rep that was a load of crap and asked that she record a note on my account that I was concerned my data-plan was being 'wasted' by their apps, in case I called-back later to dispute my charges.

Now, from reviewing this forum, I see lots of complaints about the T-Mo 'My Account' app. Is that known to waste data-usage?

P.S. I'm currently running an experiment wherein I uninstalled the Google+ app. This was the one new app I'm running (relative to the previous 2 years' experience). So far the problem seems to be fixed? I'm surprised, though, that Google+ would use that much data as I'm only linked to a handful of people (immediate family) and none of us are posting anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
no...the my account app does not waste my data...i have had this phone for a week and a half and also used the app on my samsung vibrant...have never had any weird data usage cycles...my billing cycle just ended on the 14th...my data counting widget shows 27.5MB used...its 5:30 eastern...so over a day and a half and only at 27.5mb...nothing even remotely close to your 50MB/day
