Just bought a S3 from Craigslist and cloned it to virgin mobile using this method. Got voice/data/sms working but not mms. Tried to follow several threads to set the VM apn / mms settings but no luck including using apn backup and restore app on an xml file saved from VM Optimus. Found out that I may have to wait for a rom for the S3 that has a framework that's compatible with virgin mobile. If anyone figures this out please share! I'm going to dissect the native VM S2 rom to see what settings need to go into the S3 Sprint rom to get mms working for VM

If you can get the aaa and ha passwords off of it then you should be good. Here's an old thread that some where in there may have the lg rumor stuff (it's been awhile). Basically it's gonna be the same as any other device. Run it through lgnpst then read it

back. you can even use google wifi tether but you have to put ProxyIP 205 239 233 136 Port 81 in the browser on every computer tethered to your phone for the internet to work.

it's kind of a pain in the ass. this really a mute point unless you're on the grandfathered $25.00 plan like me.I thought about just paying the 10 dollars a month extra and buying a

virgin moblie evo off ebay with good esn for 4g. it should work now if not message me back and I'll try to fix it. my rumor donor is currently working on a sprint transform on virgin

everything but pictures but i could fix that if i really wanted to. ya you should write all the qpst stuff hdr an long A00000esn@vmobl.com m.ip profile 0 not enabled profile 1 enabled

I need to flash a Sprint EVO 3D to Virgin Mobile. I read through this thread and it looks like everything works except MMS? There's a patch required to get MMS working? I do not see where this patch is located however. I'm wondering if I can simply modify the APN settings. I currently have MeanROM ICS in the EVO 3D.

On another note, I updated my MMS fix thread to include Virgin Mobile for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2. Let me know if it works for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794956

The ONLY way?

:eek: Is there no other way to convert a EVO 3D Sprint to Virgin Mobile? This looks very complicated to me. And we need a Virgin Mobile phone to begin with? I don't have one. The cheapest one, according to their website is the Venture ($39.99). Would that work for this comprehensive procedure? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Asadullah:
That I know of no the best thing to do is get an optimus v off craigslist or ebay.
[HTC EVO 3D] pezastic:
Okay, I've ordered one for 20 bucks. When it arrives, I will try this procedure.
[HTC EVO 3D] phreak311:
I know this sounds stupid. But could you give directions to flash Sprint's EVO 3D for my donor phone which is the EVO V 4G ( I know same exact phone) But mine's all messed up from dropping it, the case is all warped and stuff like that, and I just got a Sprint EVO 3D given to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] DreifGenov:
Beginners,

When going through the step called "HTC ERASE MEID", STOP at 8:33 of the video, DON'T follow the further steps of this video - DON'T write MEID into your HTC phone here (you'll do that later, "PART FOUR: Read and write").

Stopped at 8:33? Make sure you rebooted your HTC Evo 3D and then move to the "PART THREE: Why lgnpst is relevant".

Thanks, Asadullah and everybody else involved, for the great manual!

P.S. If you accidentally wrote MEID in Part 2 and went through other Parts, just repeat all the steps from the erasing MEID.

Other way around from Virgin Mobile to Sprint with (former) Sprint Evo3D?

Okay, so long story short my brother gave me his Sprint Evo3D to use as a second phone for work. However, when he bought it, it was set up by someone else to work on Virgin Mobile with ICS. No sign of any other rooting. Factory reset the phone to get a base line to start with, and it is running ICS 4.0.3 with the Virgin Mobile software present. Is there any way to make use of this method or another way to get it to work back on the Sprint network? I was going to proceed rooting with this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889438&highlight=virgin+mobile+to+sprint. I also came across this thread to go to 100% Stock with S-off: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136964&highlight=virgin+mobile+to+sprint.

Recovery screen is as follows:

[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You are at least looking at the right threads. Haven't seen this situation in a while, but you would think that running the Sprint Ruu should take it back to a sprint phone, but there were some issues a while back getting rid of some of the Virgin Mobile software that was left behind (vm radio bug) when people jumped on the earlier release/leak of ICS from VM.

You really should stop in at Unknownforce's Ultimate Tool/Unbricking thread since he is the one that fixed the issue. I think you can flash the Sprint Ruu and then use [MENTION=1354510]Unknownforce[/MENTION] 's tool to bring back the missing/messed up Sprint settings.

See this post from [MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION]'s thread for more info and link to Unknownforce's thread.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.ph...Root & S-OFF (Sprint and Virgin Mobile Only)

Sent from my Up all Night Sleep all Day EVO3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] ice_236:
Finally got around to doing this last night. I downloaded the RUU for Sprint and tried it out. It appeared to be working, however when it was part way through, it failed out with error 131, Customer ID Error. So next I found out you can start the RUU, take the rom.zip and change its name to PG86IMG.zip. I started the phone with the SD card in recovery mode, and it went through the same process and said that it failed once again.

I put the phone in fastboot mode and checked the CID, which in looking it up from links in ramjet73's thread, it was giving the one for VM, not Sprint. I am going to play around with continuing with the root up until S-OFF (I want it S-ON for the ultimate unbricking tool) and then try it.

EDIT 10NOV13

Okay so I relocked the bootloader, went S-ON, and went to the VM 1.13 RUU. In following steps at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653777 for the downgrade/unbrick, the PG86IMG would not work correctly to do the brick process. I was next going to try the radio fix in S-OFF. Would that be advisable or do you have any other advice? Thanks!

Anyone else experiencing horrible batter drain? Android OS is taking up 50-60% on average and it just eats it up while idle. I'm thinking about a return, this is my second handset, and with a locked bootloader, im losing faith in a quick solution. Any ideas?

Minimal use and quick setup with two to three app dowloads, and my 40% charged new device was down to zero in 2 hours.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jove81:
I've noticed some battery quirks so far. My percentage drops 3% simply by locking and unlocking my phone within a few minutes. I've also seen it jump up in percentage once so not sure. Maybe there is something in the OS that isn't optimized that's causing the battery drain and quirks? I dunno. Be great to hear from some other people on this issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
Working on BT unlock so i would wait.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] spacecasespiff:
I've only had one charge on mine but it seems to be going good for me. I made it over a full day with 3+ of screen time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] svntsvn:
what percentage does your "android os" show? I'm wondering why my second handset is the same. Did you root yours and remove the bloatware?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] samomamo:
Hi give it a couple of charge cycles it will definitely improve.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gshaw1967:
Yes, I've got the same problem. The OS takes most of the battery. Idle is fine, but with any use battery drops very fast and gets extremely hot, as well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] slicingtaco:
Keep in mind that these are new phones with NEW BATTERIES. With that being said, you need to "cycle" (charge to 100% then discharge to 0% <repeat 3-5x's) the battery before we judge and jump into conclusions. Just sayin:D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] svntsvn:
keep that in mind. just came as a surprise, never had a device out of the box have this bad of battery life since my g2x or some old htc.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
For the record, I'm also having pretty lousy battery life. OS taking up 55%+. Last night I charged it to 100%, played with it until it was about 93% and then went to bed. Woke up this morning and it was at 65% with zero deep sleep and 80% OS usage.

Something's funky. I like the phone but can't be dealing with this constantly.

A:

EDIT: Turns out the extreme drain was from the radio. I had switched off LTE in the hidden menu and apparently that causes a ton of wakelocks and prevents deep sleep. As soon as I turned LTE back on, deep sleep came back. So that's somewhat encouraging.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] svntsvn:
I'll have to look at that. I'm getting a day with light use out of my second phone after a few charges, but it gets a little scary when im using it. I'm staying optimistic, my s3 was just phenomenal with battery life after rom kernel additions.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] svntsvn:
Can you explain how you turned off/on lte and the menu path?

I dont see an apn option other than the stock one (which im assuming is lte enabled). I'd like to see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] g33k3r:
you need to enable network menu in the build.prop and a menu will appear where apn is

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cloudscout:
This is really disappointing. Physically, this phone is fantastic. It looks great and the specs are terrific but it's crippled by absolutely horrid software which I suspect is the reason for the abysmal battery life.

After my first day with the phone yielded less than 10 hours I decided to do a factory reset and set the phone to Eco Mode. That improved things slightly... I managed to get 14 hours but that was with limited usage. In fact, the only significant difference in results was that, in Eco Mode, Android OS shows that it is consuming 80% of the battery vs 53% the previous day.

There is something seriously wrong with these things... the fact that some people are saying that they aren't seeing the problem has me worried that it may be some sort of hardware-related issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
I would guess those people that aren't seeing this are not looking at the battery stats, I have never seen Android take up this % of battery on any device and I have been using android since the Hero... about a good 15 devices or more ago I have lost count. Come next Thursday I am going to go switch out for something else if the boot loader is not unlocked yet.

Awesome battery life

[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
That is with only 3 hours of use, and the android OS should never be that high, on every other device the screen is the highest... and this is a problem with the software.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
yes i know its a bug but battery life is still good i can use it for 7 hours screen on and still last me a day this lasted me almost 2 days.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cloudscout:
Judging by the fact that Juice Defender shows up there in your chart, I assume you're taking extra steps to optimize the battery life, right?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
na i was just massing with it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Perhaps its good that the screen doesn't use much battery. LG said it's a low power screen. Perhaps nothing uses that much power, so just regular kernel tasks end up with more percentage than anything else. It is pathetic that on my epic, I can have not even an hr of usage, but screen still takes up > 70% of the power.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cloudscout:
I wish that were the case, unfortunately, there's more to it than that.

Something is preventing the device from idling properly even when the display is turned off. I was hesitant about buying an LG phone because of their poor track record when it comes to timely updates and bug fixes. I'm hoping that their new relationship with Google and the Nexus 4 will improve their ability to respond but I may end up exchanging the Optimus G for an HTC One X+ if AT&T releases those soon.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Ah. I don't have it yet, so I don't know about idling.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
The Keep Awake for my phone was litterally 9 hours, when that was actually almost the entire time my phone has been left on. I remember a program from my Galaxy S II that told you all the wake locks and so forth. I think it needed root tho . . .

Update : BetterBatteryStats is the name of the program, but I think it pretty much requires root to provide you with all the good info. I'll read up more on rooting the phone and then post some information back to here.

Update 2 : Looks like the phone sticks to a 384 Mhz frequency for a VERY long time. My deep sleep is 6 hours, but my 384 Mhz is actually 9.5 hours. Total on time of 17 hours. (PS. Grab CPU Spy to check this inrformation out.)

Guys, I'd like to discuss this subject, I really think it's about time Google implemented this, they could keep the current system on devices with less than 1gb of RAM, I was really tempted to get a surface or TIVO tab because of this, but I'm still getting a Nexus 10 because it's far better spec-wise than the other ones, I really hate to say that on tablets Android doesn't stand a chance against RT, yes 4.2 brought a few improvements but multitasking is still a huge flaw that yet remains unattended.

I want to manage what apps are running in the background, I don't want it to load a bunch of random crap I'll probably not use to memory, I don't want apps I'm not using to kill the processes I'm using, I want to be able to listen to YouTube commentaries while I check Twitter.

Does anyone have news about this? I was really expecting to see this on 4.2 but we are stick with the same crappy system, I didn't make this thread to favour Windows RT, I'm as addicted to flashing MODs and ROMs as any of you, I love the customization we get but I want to know if anything is being done to correct what's probably the biggest flaw Android has.

Considering how Apple implement "multi-tasking", Android is already much closer to true multi-tasking and with the advent of more RAM and more efficient processing, will be there by the time Android 6.0 is released.

Rather than multi-tasking, I'd prefer Google work on the optimisation of Android for multi-core CPU's first.
