[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
just bought an LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile) off ebay with clean esn

the phone is still going to have the last persons virgin mobile info in that phone correct?

is it possible for me to transfer that info to my S3 and then i buy a virgin mobile plan (i like the $35 one) and then go ahead and activate the phone like that?

i dont want to activate the the Optimus V "first" then transfer that info to my S3 because say i decide to sell the S3 later on.

i dont want the next person to have to use QPST or DFS.

i just want them to be able to buy their plan and activate the phone like it was an original virgin mobile branded phone.

is that possible

thanks

Little do we all know the S3 is coming to Virgin :D

if you can help it would be great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
You will need to activate the Optimus v on a VM account which will get it reprogrammed with your account info. From there you should be able to follow guides to transfer the S3 to take over the optimus's account info. At that point you can not ever power the Optimus back on or it will flag your VM account and probably put a suspend on the account.

If you want to resell the S3 after the fact for use on any carrier I think it would require some work to get it setup for another account. Because the S3 came from sprint it will never just "auto program" to a VM account, it will need to be manually reprogrammed.

Cool beans, I wonder if that will push the VM S2 price down at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
i know i can activate the VM phone and then transfer that over to the S3

what i want to do is make it so if i do sell it the next person will be able to have a flawless transistion to VM just like if it was a "real" VM phone.

i mean after all VM will accept Sprint phones wont they (if they have a good esn)?

ok so if i flash an AOSP rom like CM and then try to activate the S3 with the info i get from VM during phone activation?

i would of course do a "1x" transfer of all the carrier settings but after that the next user would just have to call VM with that info and the phone should be able to easily activate shouldnt it?

i should not have to activate the original VM phone "first" and then take that info and use it with the S3 should i?

i dont like that and if i have to do it that way please explain why,

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
bump

would really like a good guide or some good info on what would have to be "set" with qpst or dfs so if i did sell the phone in the future as a Sprint S3 flashed to VM that the buyer would be able to enter the imei number in the VM website and continue to activate just like a normal VM phone.

i wouldnt think this should be to big a problem would it?

Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 no wifi hotspot

Hello! Just activated a new SG S3 this week with V MOBILE and I am loving my device except that apparently V Mobile has disabled or buried the hot spot feature. It is running 4.1.2 and I have tried and tried and no sign of it. It appears they are trying to sell their external wifi hotspot device which would get terribly expensive. My plan is their $45/mo unlimited (2.5 gb) data and text 3G& 4G Lte on Sprint's backbone) and it makes me crazy that I can't share my data plan with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Ridiculous they want to charge extra for data I am already paying for.

So my question is whether anyone out there has found a way to circumvent Virgin Mobile's tampering. I have tried several apps for tethering with zero success. Wondering if using bluetooth is the only way? Wouldn't that be slow?

Obviously I am not a programmer and it sounds scary to root my device. Would hate for it to become a paperweight. Ugh. Could there be some app I could run off an sd card or add on to make this work? I used to be able to do this with my old T Mobile unlimited account on my old Samsung galaxy running 2.3

Your help and support would be great and I can try to make it work or else return the device to swap with something else.

Thanks!

Start with the basics before doing something worse. Read from the beginning to the last (83th) commentary. Is the correct form of doing things.

But first of all, the necessary cable is not that of the Kindle, is a especially modified one named "factory"that has 5 volt on the middle contact(5 pins) of the micro-usb, unused in your "manufacturer" cable.

[General Questions and Answers] wiredwrx:
Sorry for the several pictures attached, but they will help illustrate the problem.

This is the software version I am using on the phone. I am rooted but otherwise stock.

and

This is the version of Google Calendar I am using

I have 2 exchange accounts on my Android device. Each syncs calendar entries properly. This pic is of one of the accounts.

However, depending on the manner in which the calendar entry was entered, whether on the phone or using outlook, the notifications differs.

This entry was added using the phone. Notice the "pen" icon in the top right, which allows for editing the entry as well as the general layout of the notification.

Now notice the notification when the entry was made with outlook. It is very different, and does not have the pen icon to edit the entry.

I found the following post (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13779) which seems to indicate that it is a problem with the primary SMTP address, but I removed, and then re-added the account using the exact address, and the problem persists.

I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas. I contact my hosted exchange service, and they asked if I had updated my android software to the latest, and then said that, since they have not had many, if any, complaints about it, there was nothing they could do. Now, I am willing to live with it if need be, but I would love to correct this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] wiredwrx:
Update

So, I added the exchange calendar to a different android phone (TBolt) and the entries are now editable.

I then uninstalled, and reinstalled, the calendar app on the problem phone (A Rezound) and the problem is still present.

I also notice that I had two calendar applications. Notice the icons at the bottom of the picture

Perhaps there is some sort of interaction causing the problem. Anyone have any suggestions. Would love to uninstall the older calendar app, but don't see that option anywhere.

I am trying to avoid a factory wipe, and am also wondering if the latest Rezound SW update will cure the problem.

Any ideas?

Hello, I'm kind of new to this forum. I love The People's ROM boot animation. I am just trying out my first ROM and would like to get used to it (you know, the settings, customizing, etc.) before I move on to The People's ROM even though it looks simple. I just don't want to rush into anything you know?

But my question is, on the ROM that I currently am on (JellyBomb Domination), there's an option that I can play 2 boot animations, one right after the other. How can I get The People's ROM boot animation and install it on a different ROM?! Man that would mean a lot to me if anyone on here knew how to do that!

Step 1. Find a file called bootanimation.zip located at /system/media inside TPR rom zip

Step 4. Reboot

I had my offline maps in Oruxmaps and went on a mountain trip. I tried GPS and it didn´t work, came back to the city, and with phone signal it worked. I tried with gpsfix and fasterfix also.

Is GPS supposed to work without phone signal?

I think I tried it a long time ago in Gingerbread, on airplane mode, and GPS worked perfectly.

Option 1 - Relock and run the 3.15 RUU. Then take the 3.16 OTA then Dev Unlock.

Option 2 - DirtyRacun to get S-OFF and head on over to Captain's thread for flashable that will update your radio, pri, nv, touchpanel etc.

Honestly I would recommend getting S-OFF while it is still available.

Rename the file PJ75IMG. Some operating systems automatically hide the zip extension so check and make sure (it should appear as PJ75IMG.zip). Once you've done this reboot to the bootloader and update. If you are indeed S-off I can't imagine why it won't work otherwise.
