I would suggest running an RUU. Not sure if that will help though because I've never flashed carriers or "backflashed"

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
So, yesterday I said goodbye to Sprint and the account is activated and I have till 1-7-13 to port the number out or they will charge for another month of service rates. I have ordered a Nexus 4 and will be here in 6-7 weeks, patience is a virtue. In the meantime I am using an old flip phone with AT&T pay as you go for $25.00 I want to port my sprint number but, do not have the new phone before 1-7-13 when the account will be closed.

Questions:

1-I ordered a Tmobile prepaid micro sim card and should get it tomorrow. Should I go ahead and activate the sim card and port the number even though I do not have the Nexus 4 yet?

2- If I activate online, can I port the Sprint number online or should I call TMobile to do it?

3-Can I buy a cheap TMobile prepaid phone, activate it and then switch the sim card to the Nexus 4 when it comes in? Doing this will allow me to test TMobile in my area before I get the phone or since it is a cheap phone I should wait to get the beast?

4-What is the advantage of porting the number to Google Voice? If I am possibly going to be testing TMobile and ATT Straight Talk plans for a month each. I do not want to lose my 13 year old phone number and have to notify all my contacts of a new number from either ATT or TMobile.

I am just trying to make a smooth and simple porting of the phone number from Sprint asap since the account will be closed on -7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It is a bit confusing when the Walmart employee tells me that the TMobile sim cards with the phones they sell are tied to those phones and you can not switch to the Nexus 4. She also told me that the $30.00 plan on TMobile only applies to Walmart purchased phones. When I questioned TMobile on this, they stated that was not true and since I am not buying the phone from Walmart, I can order the TMobile prepaid sim card and activate it online and still get the $30 plan. Then, to call TMobile and they would port my number over.

Thanking in advance,

Ian B
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
1) Unless you have a phone in which you can activate the MicroSIM card you plan to use in the N4, wait. The setup process asks for an IMEI, and while I don't think it matters, you wouldn't have your Nexus 4's IMEI yet.

2) When you activate the T-Mobile MicroSIM, the process will include having them transfer the number from Sprint. Just have your Sprint account info handy.

3) The advantage of using Google Voice is that it adds some flexibility in how it's used, without using "minutes". This is popular on, for example, the $30/month T-Mobile plan, since it only has 100 minutes of talk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
AJ;

Thanks for the info but, as you can see the account will close on 1-7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me at the end of January 2013. I could get the cheapest prepaid TMobile phone to activate the sim card and get the Sprint phone number ported over before I lose it on 1-7-13 which I do not want to lose.

What do you think on buying the cheapest prepaid TMo phone idea?

Thanks again,

Ian B
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibegary:
You shouldn't need a device to activate your sim card through Straight Talk (i'm on it now with AT&T). The only thing it will ask for is your straight talk SIM Card information and the phone number you want to port.

https://www.straighttalk.com/secure/Activate - Select "Transfer my number from another company"

It will walk you through the steps, I did this with both my wife and I account (both coming from Verizon).

Porting for my wife took only 30 minutes while mine took close to 8 hours. It will still port even though you dont have it in a device. From what I remember you can only confirm the port was successful is when you use the SIM (it shows as HOME instead of No Service).

If you want to ask straight talk directly, best to use their twitter feed as they respond better there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
Thanks Ibegary;

I will hold off on buying a prepaid phone then. I called earlier Straight Talk customer service and had a hard time understanding them. I don't use Twitter but, your link is pretty self explanatory. I think is the same issue with TMobile. They just shipped my sim card today and once it comes in, I can port the number to them without having a device and activate the sim card. They told me I have 120 days to get money into the account.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmoke:
About Verizon -- Do you know how the Verizon billing process comes into play. I am currently with Verizon, on contract. Waiting and preparing for the N4. Received a shipping confirmation today, for the Straighttalk ATT microsim card. Will I need to call Verizon and cancel my service, after ST ports the number from my Verizon account? If the number is ported in the middle of the Verizon billing cycle, do I get nicked for the whole billing period? Or, are Verizon charges suspended, automatically, once ST takes control of the number? I would like to avoid the charge for a whole month of Verizon, if the N4 arrives on or shortly after the start of a new billing period. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
First question: Do you plan to use Google Voice?

If NO, then hold off on activating the SIM until you have your phone in hand.

If YES, then this is the perfect time to port your number to Google Voice from Sprint (as I did) so you get to keep the same phone number and use VOIP to make and receive your calls, plus all the benefits of Google Voice. It will take 24 hours exactly until the number port is complete. It will take a day or two more until you can receive text messages through Google Voice. When you finally have your Nexus 4 phone in hand, activate the SIM per the included instructions in conjunction with the IMEI number on the new phone. You DO NOT want to port your number to T-mobile during the activation, just get a new number. You can quickly forget about this new number. There are guides already on how to setup VOIP with Google Voice + Pbxes.org using SipDroid to do all the configuration for you, then you can delete the SipDroid app off your phone. You DO want to install CSipSimple on your phone and configure it to connect to Pbxes.org (which is already wired to use GTalk and Google Voice by now). CSipSimple will integrate with the android stock dialer, or you can use CSipSimple as your default dialer. One more thing, I got tired of Android asking me if I want to make a VOIP call using Pbxes or Cell (T-mobile minutes) that inside CSipSimple I made a rule that ALL calls be made by Pbxes. So, I just use my phone as normal and CSipSimple makes the call and answers my calls. It really really is wonderful when I look at my T-mobile minutes, but none have been used and I get great call quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
A couple of questions, Straight talk and TMobile prepaid do not handle mms, correct? If that is so, can I get mms through google voice?

Your set up sounds too complicated for me and I only average about 40-60 mins of talk time per month so not worried about the 100 mins in the $30 TMob plan.

Thanks,

Ian B

P.S.---if someone in the Austin, Cedar Park area w a Nexus 4 with ST or TMob prepaid, send me a pm so you can call me and I can pick your brain on this stuff.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibegary:
Do not call Verizon in fact you do not need to talk to Verizon at all

What will happen is straight talk will take your account number and billing pin and start the port for you with Verizon once the port is complete Verizon will close the line for the account

About 2 to 3 weeks later you will receive your final bill from Verizon that will include any ETF charges and any credit for the remaining of your billing cycle where there was no usage

So for example if your billing cycle is on the 29th and you ported on the 14th then you'll be charged for 14 days of service and then you'll be credited the other 14 or 15 days

Hope this helps

Like to use TouchWiz, but your apps are disappearing from home screens and app order gets messed up after reboot?

This happens with the apps you have moved to the SD Card.

Well, you may have just found the "solution", though it's more of a workaround.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you probably don't need this app.

I made this for myself, but thought I'd share it here, as I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by this problem.

This app should restore your original layout after reboot as soon as /mnt/asec is fully mounted.

Root is needed for manipulating files under /data/data.

I think it works only on JB, but not sure. If TouchWiz data is not located at /data/data/com.sec.android.app.launcher, then it doesn't work.

Requirements:

JB ROM (not sure if it works on ICS)

Root & BusyBox

Install:

Transfer APK to your phone

Install

Open the app

Wait a bit until you get a Superuser request and grant it

Done! You can now exit the app. The app should now always start at boot

Uninstall:

Just uninstall the app

Done!

After reboot, the app should wait until /mnt/asec is fully mounted and then apply the fix (TouchWiz will restart).

Note that I am no Android dev. I most probably will not improve this app.

If it doesn't work for you, I will not make it work for you and I won't offer much support.

And above all, this has NOT been properly tested, so:

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Changelog:

v1.2

Made a GUI for the app, where you can manually save/load TouchWiz states (useful when you connect your phone to a computer via mass storage mode for example)

Made another version of the app that works with Gyebro's ported TouchWiz (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014269)

v1.1

Fixed critical problem that caused TouchWiz to crash because file owner was set incorrectly.

v1.0

- First release

Do NOT download v1.0. It can crash your TouchWiz. I left it there only for reference.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Noxzoul:
I am on CM10 10-20121126 and am having an issue mounting my SD card.

In CM10 when I mount USB storage, it mounts the internal storage. I cannot seem the find a setting to change this, but I was wondering if it is a naming issue with the internal storage. If I use the built in file manager I see that my internal storage is named sdcard0. Maybe it is just me not knowing how to use the software, but I could not change it to look at the SD card. So I downloaded ES File Explorer. Once again I see internal being named sdcard0 and now I can finally see the SD card, it is named sdcard1. The card is good and with ES File Explorer I can see data, copy, etc...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Hello. My problem is with the phone's vibrator. 2 or more weeks ago I got the same problem, when I dropped my phone from the bed tot the floor (aprox. 40 cm height), it stopped vibrating for feedback, messages and calls. At that time, I thing I either turned it off and removed battery or just do a reboot, but it started working again until 3 day ago. Since then it stopped working completely. I tried turning it off, reboot, removing the battery for 15 min., nothing worked. I have no vibration feedback (for example when I type a phone number or message), no message receiving vibration, no incoming calls vibration and not even when I turn on/reboot the device does my phone vibrate(it was a small vibration when you turned on the phone). Today I thought I should first try to change my ROM prior to trying to replace the faulty vibrator, but when I selected to reboot to recovery, my phone rebooted and vibrated at the beginning, so I thought the bug is gone. I went back in to the phone and I had: vibrate feedback (typing a phone number), message vibrate, didn't have time to test the call vibration because after I received 2 messages the vibration stopped once again. So now I'm baffled: is it because of the ROM, is it a glitch/bug from the motherboard or is the vibrator almost "dead"? If anyone had this issue and can help me fix the bug I would be really thankful. If I have to replace the vibrator, it wouldn't be a hard thing to do and I would do it if I know this will fix the problem forever.

My phone is S-OFF, rooted, with AcesMod007 ROM. Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
I have installed CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v2.8 by vijendrahs and still no vibration, so it must be from the motherboard or the vibrator itself. I might try to replace it and see if this solves the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
No one has encountered this problem until now? No thoughts on this? I've searched for this bug and found some applications that should remove this bug, but they didn't work for me, so I am still open to any suggestion. I still have to wait up to 3 weeks until the vibrator arrives.

L.E.: I've just noticed another anomaly: my phone jumps from 82%-85% battery to full when I'm charging it. Might this have something to do with the vibrator? How can I fix this problem? Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Tried all kinds of applications that would force the vibrator, but with no success. I am still looking for a solution.

I have no guarantee so I have to fix it myself. I saw that other peoples with the same problem had sent the phone back to HTC for a replace. One of them actually stated that HTC had replaced first the motherboard (with no success) and then the vibrator module. I hope that replacing the vibrator would solve the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
I've solved the problem. I decided to open it up, thinking it is a hardware problem, and take a look at it. I've blended the two legs a bit more to make sure they get a perfect connection to the the motherboard and voila. It is working fully.

Has anyone tried connecting the nexus 4 as a wifi hotspot? My phone can load webpages like google, facebook, XDA really fast.

It's normal for it to be slower (just consider that all requests need to be routed from your laptop, to your phone via WiFi, then to the cell service) but it certainly should be working without issue. Are you using the built-in WiFi hotspot feature? And what carrier?
[HTC One X+] jacob4duke:
So im switching to at&t and i was wondering if this phone is my best choice it seems the only competition is the optimus g and i havent compared the two but i really like htc. My main concern is battery i play a good hour at least playing games like bike race, words with friends, and games like that nothing graphic intense. With that said should i be able to go a whole day with a custom rom? I open to all phone suggestions and i DO NOT want an IPHONE. Also which rom will give me the best battery life and is MIUI coming to this phone?
[HTC One X+] skdubg:
the optimus g has, after actually statements, a closed bootloader and there is no way to open it.

closed bootloader = no customizations

if MIUI will be available... ask here:

http://en.miui.com
[HTC One X+] Backmankiller:
I had the optimus g and i hated it. I went through two. They both got so hot it burned my hand with normal use and the battery life was sub-par. I would go with a s3 or a HOX+, but as your here maybe your leaning towards a + which would be a good buy. Its a great phone. I have att as well. But in the end it will be your decison on what you like. On a free day go to a store and play with each phone for a min or 2 and see what you like! But you cant go wrong with a HOX+

thanks guy for the responses looks like im going with the HOX+, and i love the 64 gig onboard storage does anyone know how much of that is usable i think i saw around 55 gigs?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Aerobane:
I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.

Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ciloteille:
I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.

And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Aerobane:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] noblekitty:
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.

Rooted, unlocked, stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Aerobane:
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.

I am stock rooted and unlocked.

It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.

I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.

Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.

I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.

Is it my phone, or everybody's?

----EDIT-----

Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.

The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).

Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.

Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).

----EDIT----

Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...

Try this to see if it helps.

Settings >> Applications >> Manager Applications >> (Look for Playstore in the Third Party Apps category, or search for market if it hasn't updated in the "all" category.) >> Click on the app >> Clear data / cache.

or,

An alternative in case nothing works is to restart your device by going into the Clockwork Mod Recovery and clearing DATA, (if on the safe side you want to factory reset and clear the dalvik too).
