[Sprint LG Optimus G] my.ads0:
I thought I would add my recent experience from 11/24.

Background:

My brother is notorious at losing his phones (or jumping in pools with one), so I was nice enough to give him my upgrade last year. He went to a sprint store and they were able to accomplish the upgrade of his phone without my line incurring the premium data charge.

Recent:

My Optimus S was getting old, and with the release of the Optimus G, I really wanted it. I was waffling on doing this exact same thing and was worried about getting the premium data charge on both my wife's line AND mine, even though we were using her upgrade for my phone.

To ensure I didn't have any problems, I got online and started a chat session with a sprint rep from India or something and asked him my slew of questions, effectively having him say, directly in the chat window, that we would only be charged the premium data charge on one line, not on both. I never mentioned anything about Best Buy, only about the process and premium data on both lines. So I copied the chat and emailed it to myself, and then got a nicely formatted email from the chat system detailing everything that was said.

I must say, that was key. I went in person to Best Buy and had them do the entire process: they enabled the new phone on my wife's account, switched the new phone to my account, then switched my wife's old phone back to my account.

A few days later, I checked my Sprint bill online, and what do you know? $10 premium data on both accounts. I called in and the woman I spoke with said "No, that's not allowed. You can't do that and there's no way I can give you a credit back." That's when I flashed the emailed chat I received stating that I wouldn't be charged on both accounts.

In the end, they had to go through some back-end management interface, taking 24 hrs to do the process somewhere, and finally was able to remove the upgrade fee from the account.

So, that's what I had to go through with this. My brother went directly to the Sprint store last year and had no problem doing this. I got confirmation via chat first and then had to call in to have them fix the problem.

If you'll notice, this is my first post. I just registered to be able to help you out a bit. Hopefully it'll save you some headaches and a bunch of $$.

Good luck!

Hey dude its a nice video with a few nice games.

Actually i'm having the same lags in MW and Dead Trigger. But its would be interesting to know how long your battery lasts playing those tegra 3 games.

I created a thread about overheating issues before and my batterylife sucks on that device.

Do you play those games in power saving mode? What would you say how long could you play Dead Trigger for example til your device tells to to charge it.

Sorry, cannot tell you for sure 'cause, apart from the video, I didn't play that much on the One X+.

The only thing I can tell you is that while playing Tegra 3 drains a lot. I can remember with the "old" One X I could run down the battery in 30 mins just playing Riptide GT!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soulphile:
NOTE: I would have preferred to post this in the dev thread, but alas, I am new to the forums (as a poster, not a reader)

[EDIT: To be clear, I know this wasn't caused by the ROM. But it did happen after flashing a popular ROM, and I thought it was relevant to mention which one. I'm very happy with SWG 2.23.]

Just wanted to warn people who are flashing Stock w Goodies

or other ROMs

and attempt to restore their SMS. I tried to restore my SMS data via My Backup Pro after flashing Stock w Goodies 2.23. My SMS stopped working altogether. I spent a significant amount of time on with Sprint tech support to resolve this issue after doing the following myself:

Update PRL

Update Profile

Factory Reset (via TWRP)​

I then searched the web for this problem and found this solution (search for "cant-send-an-sms-on-your-android-ics-custom-rom-read-this" among others that describe the same process. Basically, it says to dial *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer to access a test mode (Phone Info) that lets you see your SMSC number along with GPS, data, and packet info. Mine was blank, and displayed an error when I selected "Update" and "Refresh." In any case, this didn't solve the problem.

So, Sprint had me do a data reset (##72786#) and enter a password. Didn't fix it. Then they did a bunch of crap on their side that also didn't work.

The solution that eventually worked was for them to reassign my MSID# (##261514# to edit on your phone), which had previously been my phone number (but usually isn't according to the tech). I checked the SMSC number afterward to confirm that this fix didn't just replace it via another method. The SMSC was still blank, so no change.

I can't be certain which process I did that screwed this up, but I'm near certain it was my attempt to restore SMS data after flashing the ROM. Either way, one should avoid restoring SMS via a backup app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
ive always restored sms

never had a problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
You should remove the name of the Rom from the thread.... Since this is a popular Rom known to be stable you're just adding negative feedback that isn't deserved... :P As well, backing up sms with apps has usually been painless for me.. But I've never used that particular app so I guess I can't be sure
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
I have never had an issue restoring sms messages when using any custom rom including flex's so you must have managed to screw something else up yourself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vader860:
I've never had an issue restoring sms or mms via mybackup. Except that it takes a lot longer than the built in backup, but that is not Rom related.

I know you probably tried a lot of troubleshooting, but to conclude that it was Stock with Goodies and publicly warn people was premature. Did you try flashing radios or some other update that if interrupted could damage phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soulphile:
Removed ROM mention to avoid undeserved and unintended negative association. :)

I don't think that was my conclusion. But I edited the title and post to avoid confusion.

Since none of you have ever experienced this as a result of restoring SMS data, have you ever experienced an apparently spontaneous change in the MSID during a ROM flash or data restore? The thing I can't figure out is how it happened. Logic would suggest it was one of the operations I performed along with flashing the ROM. This is what I did:

Backup Data via My Backup Pro

Dirty Racun

Flash TWRP

Backup

Factory Reset

Flash Stock w Goodies

Wipe Dalvik and Cache

Reboot

Restore Data (I restored SMS, MMS, etc. separately rather than as a batch, just because I didn't want my phone busy for that long.)​

SMS was the only thing that broke. Anyway, I'm glad to confirm it wasn't the ROM and to know that I should be able to restore SMS just fine in the future. I appreciate the responses and the feedback. I thought maybe I had a problem others would want to avoid, and couldn't find this problem anywhere in the forums.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
You should just use sms backup pro, its a seperate app, but it never gave me any problems, and titanium backup is good too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I usually don't trust or like any of the root-enabled utilities to backup my text messages (TiBu, MyBackup, ROM Toolbox, etc). I've stuck with this since my first ever Android phone and it has never failed me. Ever.

I still have every single message from my original HTC Hero (not that I restore that backup, I don't want 50,000+ messages on my phone, I just keep it for backup purposes).

Stick with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en

You can even set it on a schedule to make sure it backs up every x number of days/hours/minutes/whatever. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You said you used dirty racun for S-off before flashing ROM. I suspect that's what broke your data and required reprovision. Most everybody that used lazy panda for S-off got broken data and had to call sprint to reprovision, myself included, both times.

And I agree with the others , SMSbackupRestore is the best for this function.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
I have 2 separate questions, running clean rom 5:

1)

Is there a way I can get smart stay to turn off when I enter car dock mode, then re enable it when leaving car dock mode? It leaves my screen on when I would rather it go to sleep and the ibolt dock physically blocks the lock button. I have a toggle on car home ultra that I made with secure settings which will lock the screen, but I would rather it lock on its own.

I have Tasker/secure settings all paid and nfc tags plus nfc task launcher, I also have the ibolt car dock which triggers car dock mode.

2)

I use pattern lock and would like to turn it off when I'm at home and also have it turned off while in car mode.

I have tried secure settings pattern lock toggle and that disables the pattern lock successfully, unfortunately it turns on the swipe screen even though I have that disabled in settings. I'd rather not have the swipe screen enabled.

I also tried secure settings key guard toggle which does exactly what I want, but it will randomly make me enter the pattern code (sometimes unlocking, sometimes opening a text or email)

This has all been bugging me to no end! Any insite would be greatly appreciated!
