[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
I understand. I wouldn't with my number either.

But to anyone desperate enough for the Msl and don't want to call to get it, I can easily do it for you. For some of you I'm sure you've seen my post all over xda for the past few years expressing my experience as a sprint rep to answer carrier related questions. The process I use can sound scary but it's the same I use for my customers who don't have access to an account but want their phone fixed. But I feel it's right to at least explain how I get the msl for you guys.

First I run the number through a tool we call "service trender" it's a tool that can give us the name of the account holder. And also information about service in their area or areas they have recently traveled in. This tool will tell us if it's a tower that is causing dropped calls or the device itself. It gives us updates on recent tower repairs and upgrades in your area. And so much more. But I use this tool to obtain the last name on the account so I can use another tool called "eticket" this tool gives us detail about your insurance and what it does and does not cover plus devices we can exchange if a customer doesn't want their device anymore or has had multiple issues with it. This tool also gives us your device specific msl code. This code is free to any customer that ask for it. But sometimes customer care will ask you a bunch of random questions before giving it out.

Again I understand the discomfort of giving out a number but I'm just stating that I am available and don't mind to look it up for you or any other information you may want. Like tower issues in your area or pretty much anything sprint related.

I got mine from tsdeaton. Thanks again
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TonyTurboII:
Man, thats a lot of steps.

Dont you have CST?

Also, that method wont work if they're not using Sprint, which a few people floating around here aren't.

You should also probably mention that once you have their number you also have access to their ESN and account. Just saying.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
It's the same as if they came in the store asking for it or call customer care to ask for. And I'm not in a corporate store so some things we have to use multiple steps. If I had their last name or physically have their phone it's a lot quicker but I wouldn't expect people to give me that information. Anyone could ask a number but without those tools all they would have is their number. Also this is the sprint HTC one thread. If someone is here from another carrier then I wouldn't expect them to be asking a sprint rep for their msl
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tetrabyt:
Thanks tsdeaton, for getting me my msl.

help

hi tsdeaton i sent you a pm but im not sure if it accually sent ,i sent you my phone number no get my msl number so if you didnt get it pm me

thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] novastar:
Easiest way to get it is to say that your data hangs/drops. ("my 3G/4G looks like it's connected but it hangs or doesn't so anything...") They'll give you the data reset code along with the MSL.

You're welcome. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rustyxj6:
I was able to get the MSL following the quoted procedure but I was rooted, bootloader unlocked, and SIM unlocked. When I hit ##3423# my HTC One did not ask for the MSL. Once I connected through CDMADevTerm using the 9k Port 24 connection I got it and was able to change it to 000000.

Using Port 23 it did not read anything. I've been learning a lot about flashing and have flashed some phones in the past. I'm getting ready to flash My Sprint HTC One to Pageplus.

It's been a long hard process. Also trying to flash an HTC One V back to Virgin Mobile. I've learned a lot on that front too. When I went back to stock on the phone side the MSL on that phone went from 000000 back to whatever it used to be I think but that's another story.

All I want in return is a £3 payment to cover postage for each item (If someone wants all 3 it'd only be £2.50) but PM me if you want them

Well... I love my phone. I don't know what to say, I mean, I just do! I've been thinking about it and it's like.. why are we so specpical and specific? That's why we loose the technological battle.. we are too specific and detailed. I mean sure there is a microscopic fraction of a pixel that is dark on dead center of my screen and there is a slight gap on the top between the speaker grill and the white rim, but so? We bonded tonight. Don't discriminate again this amazing phone because of such small things that might be strange or slightly f'ed up, because overall, it's the most advanced and speedy pocket cellular device available in the universe.

You know what made me REALLY love this phone? This morning when I wanted to turn the TV on to watch the news and the remotes were all the way on my computer desk. I picked up my phone and turn the TV on and got my news fix.

This phone is awesome! :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I love your phone too.. Can I have it?!? I could always use a spare. lol

I wish I had a chance to check out the remote control features but I don't ever watch TV on a real TV anymore in real-time. I always watch shows on 1channel or tvmuse. I use an app called unified remote to control pretty much everything on my computer. Spotify, Youtube, Netflix even use it as a mouse and keyboard if your laptop isn't on your lap but close by
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] homeslice976:
That was how I've used my previous devices...man was I excited to see the reintroduction of IR though. With 4 kids, remotes are misplaced (or hidden) on an hourly basis, so it's nice to have complete control in my pocket :) TBH I loved my phone before I even met it... it sleeps closer to me than my wife now
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] EboniK:
I wish I could love mine.. First phone had a gap I could fit my thumb nail in.. replacement has 8 stuck white pixels, some brighter then others so I'm sure it's like 30 stuck pixels. Thinking about an s4 now :(

Luckily, you don't need to watch much TV to enjoy the remote control. Just visit a local watering hole or restaurant and enjoy the sheer comedy of watching their employees figure out why the TV's keep turning on and off. :highfive:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] peppepep:
Yesterday I have not resisted and I moved from T-Mobile ROM to O2 ROM using the file tmobile_to_O2_16050.rar downloaded form mdkia FTP. The strange thing is that after the upgrade everything remained the same (same software installed, contacts, EVERYTHING, also the extROM version: 1.60.36...) except for the start screen that now shows O2 logo...

What has happened???

Now I'm looking for O2 ROM 1.66, how can I find it?? I looked around but didn't find....

Grazie....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] peppepep:
GOT IT!!!!!!

I made a HARD reset and Now I have a Wonderful XDA2 with ROM 1.60.50!!!

First impression: TODAY screen is really wonderful, MUCH MORE THAN MDA2 T-Mobile!!!!!!!!!

Now what I need is 1.66 O2 ROM!!!!!!!! Can anybody help???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
peppepep

I'm very interested in your posting. I do not, unfortunately, have an answer for your question, but if you would be so kind perhaps you can help me.

I have the MDA II and I was running the 1.60 ROM with little to no difficulty, except for GPRS not always on, but I fixed that with the tool that is available.

Somehow my device got corrupted and I decided to upgrade to T-Mobile 1.60.36. Well that was a mistake, because I have had a very buggy device for about 2 weeks now, lots of problems.

Are you pleased with the 1.60.50 ROM? How specifically do I do what you did, which is going to the XDA II ROM Upgrade from 1.60.36?

What about the Country ID error I hear about? Does this present a problem?

Please help, I have posted on other threads here to no avail.

Ed

PS: I tried the FTP link, but I could not get connected.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] peppepep:
Download the file "ROM TMobile to O2 1.60.50" from mdkia FTP: http://maja.mine.nu:8000/Login

user: xda2

I used this file to move form Tmobile to O2. No Country ID error because it has been modifyed by mdkia himself.

Let me know how it goes! (For me OK 100%)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
peppepep

Edited: I did find out how to work the RAR File.

Naturaly I'm a little nervous about this.

Please tell me how you like the O2 ROM, and if you had any problems using the T-Mobile to O2 FLASH?

Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with using this type of file (RAR File) to flash my device. I have only used ROM Upgrade Files that provide automatic loading.

Could you please help me in this regard?

Also how do you like the 1.60.50 ROM, from O2?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
A rar file is similar to a zip file, it is compressed and needs unzipping before you can use it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] mikeycollins13:
The extended rom/ rar files

I downloaded the rom upgrade and it is fine, but what are we to do with ext_rom_o2_16050.rar.But (1.) What does this extension do? and (2.) How do I load it in in?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
I assume you are requesting help to upcak the RAR File? If so:

You need a unzip or unrar file software. I do not recall the name of the software. I did a search and see that there are a few utilities for thiis out there.

I have it at home and could send it to you later.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] mikeycollins13:
Rar file

I can unpack the rar, that's not the problem, just what to do with all those extra files? Those aren't the Rom Upgrade files, they what are they?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
I misunderstood your post evidently, and I'm still not clear on what your original post requests. "How do I load it in in?" I have yet to try the ROM Upgrade, but I opened the largest file displayed and it took me to a ROM Upgrade setup. It appeared to me that this is how you load it in. I'm not sure what the other files do, but I bet the utility for the upgrade would take those if needed.

What device do you have?

I own the T-Mobile MDA II, and I have never gone outside the T-Mobile ROM Upgrades. I may, however, because I do not like the current 1.60.36 I'm using. It is not very stable.

I hope T-Mobile comes out with a 1.66 soon.

really considering selling my note 2 for this phone...but i've had an HTC phone before, and i think they've developed a reputation for not releasing updates.

is there legitimacy to this repuation...or has HTC gotten better over the years?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] swaze:
Htc updates about as good as anyone else.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
According to this article (and others like it I could not find right away) the reputation you speak of for HTC is not true. In terms up updating thier phones, HTC is the best of the major OEMs. Get a ONE!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lauski:
... not to mention this is the first time (or first time in a while) we've seen them drop the same phone on many carriers, and tout a phone as their flagship for the year.

I feel like they'll be behind making this thing the best they can make it this year.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] H4rryTipp3r:
The best of all major OEM's?! Are you joking? Call me a Sammy fanboy all you want but there upgrading 2 year old phones still, and many, many others! I do NOT see HTC doing this. Samsung has way more phones out then HTC and still manages to do this. I honestly might be getting the One but by no means is HTC the best at updating.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] swaze:
The best? No, but if you look at the facts, HTC is updating faster than Samsung based on statistics. So take that how you want to.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Not to mention that Samsung only really updates their flagships and not the lower end phones. I just came over to One from an S3.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Also keep in mind Samsung's success has them being the top android manufacturer. They have a lot more money to hire developers than HTC. This allows them to keep up with their devices like they do. But Samsung used to be terrible before their success. HTC might become very competitive on updates as well. They're not bad now, but sprint did drag their feet with the Evo 3D.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Indeed, with the One I think we're going to see big things for HTC over the next year. A unified phone being the biggest contributor to their increase sales. They did what the GS3 did originally but stepped up their game with a modern phone with modern specs. Competition is good for the two, it will make everyone else reach harder to stay on par and they'll compete for who has the better phone. I think when 5.0 is dropped most likely next month, both manufactures will be rushing to get it out, we can only hope that the carriers don't drop the ball.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
I think HTC has already stated that a 4.2.2 build is in the works and we'll get it soon. (Hopefully:))

As I stated above, I might be getting the One, so I check in here to look through and see what's going on with the device and everyone's use, before going ahead and buying.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] musclehead84:
I agree with HarryTipper. Sammy seems to be better at upgrading than HTC. They didn't used to be but they have stepped up their game in past two years. HTC took forever to update the 3d and the evo LTE as well.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
I know, was just poking some fun. I've had a Samsung Moment, LG Optimus One, then an HTC Evo 3D all on Sprint. I also follow smartphones/tablets and new technology in general daily (actually, part of my job sort of). What I've seen is Samsung sucked at updates until that had success with the Galaxy series, even the early Galaxy's were slow to get updates. The LG phones were lucky to get anything at all. HTC updated pretty well recently, except in the US. International HTC devices got updates pretty quickly and regularly, but Sprint was slow to do so. Sprint seems to have been slow about this in general just like every other carrier here in the US. Although, the Evo 3D was extremely late (almost a year later) to the ICS party. This update was promised to us pretty early and it started to feel like we'd never get it by the time it released. Then Sprint held it for testing I assume for a few more months. The Evo 3D users were suspecting Sprint was holding onto the ICS update to encourage people to buy their Boost Mobile variant of the phone as it released with ICS, was the same exact phone with a different name, and was supposed to attract people to Boost. Not sure if this is the real reason, it was a month or two after that phone launched the rest of us got ICS.

In either case, HTC wasn't bad about it, they weren't great but they weren't bad. Sprint, on the other hand, seems to have been slow and I know there are a number of reasons for this. They need to test everything before they launch it. Does it work on their network properly and with their bloatware? They have to prioritize their devices to test and they have to be thorough to ensure they aren't liable for anything going wrong. It's a crappy system, but thats how it is.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Harfainx:
And it also comes with a creaky, terrible housing. Software versus hardware... Take your pick. One can be changed, the other can't. (Of course you can always put a solid case on it. My wife is probably going to get the GS4, so I won't speak too terribly about it, and I will by no means call it a bad phone... just poor build quality, especially compared to the One.)

If you haven't seen The Verge's review on it, check out the body response they gave.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/24/4257254/samsung-galaxy-s4-review
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] swaze:
Hmmm Evo LTE came out June, was updated December. 6 months, only 2 months after Sprint released the update for the SG3. Sounds like its not HTC or Samsung but the carrier who is the culprit.

Now lets see. All the GS3's outside the US got upgraded to 4.1.2 in december. Has the GS3 been updated in the US yet? Nope, has it recieved the new samsung premium suite package that everyone else with the GS3 recieved? Nope. Hmmmmm....

If you actually looked at the link posted above, you can clearly see that there isn't much of a difference between Samsung and HTC as far as timely updates.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] H4rryTipp3r:
I honestly don't care about what it's made of as long as it looks good, and performs good I'm fine. I am more of a specs and software kind of person. Although the one does have me pretty intrigued because I've never had a phone built as so, and I listen to music and watch a lot of videos so I know those speakers will come in handy. I'm going to give it a test drive, and if I don't like it, I'll just switch to the S4. The only reason I'm hesitant is because I'm not a big fan of sense... nor am I a big fan of all the stuff you have to do to root the thing. Compared to Samsung phones, it's way more difficult.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Harfainx:
As much as I love the One, I was actually thinking the same. If the GS4 comes out and it's amazing, I'll simply switch over. The build quality is no competition, but like I said, you can always get a solid case. I would like a larger screen. If I could get my hands on a phone with 5.5" screen and current hardware, I would probably jump on it (LG Optimus G Pro, if it ever comes to Sprint?).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] H4rryTipp3r:
If you want that, why not get the note 2? It's going to get a lot of the S4 features, and I wouldn't go with LG. The Optimus G has been out less then a year, and had 1 update and is already EOL.

[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Hi,

I've been struggling to find an oleophobic (fingerprint resistant) screen protector for the Droid 4.

I've been in touch with Spigen to see if they would be willing to produce one, and they said that they don't have plans to do so at the moment, but if there were increased interest from customers then this might change.

If this is of interest to anybody else, then could you consider getting in touch with them and letting them know?

I contacted them via ebay: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/spigen_inc

Their website is www.spigen.com

Cheers,

Steve.
