[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nae10135:
TL;DR - I have an extra SM-G900A that I got for $1, can I sell this to someone else without it jacking up my personal ATT account?

2 years ago I upgraded to a GS3 by getting AT&T to price match a Black Friday deal for $1.00. Since I am now out of contract, I decided to try it again. This year I got a lot more resistance from AT&T and the Monday before thanksgiving I saw that Amazon.com was offering up the same deal of the GS5, the only catch would be that I would lose my grandfathered unlimited data. After talking with ATT customer support, I got a notated assurance that if I upgraded via Amazon, that ATT would restore my grandfathered data.

So at that point I pulled the trigger, and bought the phone via amazon.com for $1.00 .

An hour later, a previous CSR for ATT called me, and told me that she had gotten the authorization to price match the phone for the black friday deals, and that it would just run a new 2 year contract on the existing talk & data plan. (Grandfathered and all) So I accepted that offer, and attempted to cancel the Amazon order, but it had already been fufilled, and I had to wait until it arrived before I could return it.

So my real question after all of this background is: If I sell this phone to someone who wants it (say someone who had their's stolen for example) would they be able to use the phone without jacking up my account? (going onto a new data plan that would kill my grandfathered data?)

I think that I could, but I would need to remove the SIM card that was provided in the box, that way another ATT customer would just be able to put their active SIM card in, or go to an ATT store and ask for a new one to be issued. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
You'll want to return it to Amazon.

Part of the reason Amazon usually gives a little better deal than the carrier directly is that they get an additional kickback from the carrier. So, if you don't keep the device active for at least 6 months, Amazon will come after you for more money. This is described in the agreement you sign off on when you order the device. This is in addition to any ETF trouble you'll get from AT&T -- they won't subsidize both devices for you on a single line!

I don't think it'll screw up your account though (the damage may have already been done by ordering the phone in the first place).

The total of both penalties might actually be less than the retail price of the device, but probably more than you could get selling it to a 3rd party. I don't see any way you'll actually be better off reselling the extra phone.

I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but you may want to consider switching to google voice for your voicemail needs. I recently made the switch, and it is awesome. My voicemail just appears in Hangouts right along with text messages associated with that phone number. I was able to listen to a voicemail while on an airplane over WiFi today... It's pretty sweet.

I pulled these from my 2013 Moto X /system/priv-app/

I placed them in the same directory on the Nexus 6 and made sure the permission were the same as the Moto x.

Once I reboot, I got a popup dialog that said visual voice mail had failed. But the app was in my app drawer.

if anyone has any suggestions.

I pulled these off of my Droid Turbo.

This version of Verizon VoiceMail is 3.1.0.

I also put in the same directory and set permissions and rebooted. It installed with no force closes but I cannot get past the set up.

I get this error message and code 9009.

Someone wanna call support and ask them for a workaround while I'm at work?? ;)

Anyone that is smarter than me wanna give this a shot?? I would love the community to be able to pull this off and get this working for all of us premium voicemail users. :):)

There is almost no chance this works until Verizon recognizes the device. Just having the app isn't going to fix it on the network.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
Well my understanding is Verizon used to send voicemail some how as an SMS which had to be intercepted by the voicemail client. The new lollipop method of choosing default SMS apps is part of the issue with other vvm apps. Seeing as the moto x is the only lollipop device on Verizon right now, chances are fair to say the least . .

I'm running a CM12 based ROM and believe it or not, I've had some luck with the Nexus VVM app in the Play Store, but it is REALLY FREAKING STRANGE how inconsistent it is! I am only able to get it to connect to the Verizon network about 5% of the time when I either first open the app or when I refresh it. So, obviously that's not acceptable. If anyone with greater knowledge of how to edit apks is willing to look into this, please let me know!:good: I've got some information gathered that may be useful.

Anyways, I haven't given up on this quite yet, I think we can eventually get something working!

Why pay for a service thats free and integrated into goggle hangouts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Because it's less than easy to get Google voice working on Verizon without having two phone numbers. Basic visual voicemail is free from Verizon though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sully112277:
Its actually not that bad now. Took me about 10 min. U don't have to use the Google voice number. You just port your voicemail number to google voice. Might wanna give it try so your not stuck with Verizon. They are my carrier as well but don't use any VZ apps.

Here's easy setup instructions if you become interested.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
I was under the impression that porting your number to Google voice on Verizon was seen exactly the same as porting it to another provider and your stuck with either a cancelled line or another phone number?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sully112277:
Not to my knowledge. Been with VZ for about 5 years now and have using google voice for my voicemail for at least 4 of those. Ported every time I got a new phone and never had a problem. Even now with my nexus 6 that I bought from google and Verizon says its an unsupported device. Just trimmed my Sim card to fit and all is working fine.

Battery and reboots

Build seems completely stable except for a few random reboots once in a while - I can't seem to find the cause of any of them though I'm guessing it might have something to do with my xposed modules

Battery life is surprisingly good for an AOSP ROM - 0% battery loss leaving the phone on overnight :D but when actually using the phone the battery seems to drop very quickly :rolleyes: any ideas? Should I try calibrating my battery?

I am thinking about switching from Tmobile to Verizon in the USA and getting a Note 4.

I can't stand how Tmobile operates on a high frequency- My signal is always inconsistent and unless I am standing outside away from a wall or roof, it will be at 1 bar.

I read where Verizon is rolling out thier 4G LTE on high-frequency AWS airwaves with 1700 MHz/2100. Since these are high frequencies, does this mean I would get the same signal drop from buildings and walls?

Verizon main LTE network uses band 13

and is about 750 download and 780 upload. This works well indoors.

Verizon XLTE is Band 4 and is only in some markets and I think uses 1700/2100 which completely blows indoors.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGeeZus:
I always try on not to be a party p**per but also would like to make this debate as civilized as possible so no need to bash me if you found my doubts in a negative way.

But after spending all this time with the Nexus Player of Google, I found myself with the conclusion, why is worthy my time for any root for the device.

At least I have a goal on showing my step-dad that paying DirecTV (Nothing against DirecTV BTW, just want to save money) is not 24/7 cost-effective versus Google Play Service and popular streaming services.

Heck, I didn't even felt left out in terms that versus Apple TV, the Nexus Player is still short without service like WWE, Amazon, NFL, etc. I was happy with the service available as of the writing of this.

To tell you the truth, the exact moment when I read all the possibility for free TV and streaming needs with Kodi (XBMC), I realized that was exactly why I bought the Google Nexus Player on the first place, beside having an alternate set-top box instead of my lovely Playstation 3 and except for improvement on hardware level for Android TV (reboot capacity WILL BE so WELCOMED!) I don't see how rooting the device can be compared as rooting a Smartphone.

Also some needs that we find regularly on Android Smartphone can be requested to Google either by AOSP or direct feedback (I realize that Google might just ignore anyways) and I am pretty sure that future Android 5.0.x or 5.x version will be synonymous of improvements.

No, this is not ignorance and definitely not naive-ness, perhaps I need another point of view to better understand or see more benefits for rooting the device.

Again, please I created this thread as a informative and debatable spot for this topic, do not flame me and not flame each other if you don't agree with an specific opinion.

Would like a reboot function..

Im sure someone will come up with some nice ways to use root.. give them a week or so lol.. :cool:
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elrondolio:
The main current use for rooting in my home is support for PS3 & 4 controllers wirelessly, using stick mount & folder mount to store game data and kodi data on an external drive and the ability to modify xml to re-arrange the order of programs in the NP's leanback interface (kodi gets top billing). My daughters now have immediate access to over twenty very large installed games so far thanks to folder mount. I also store all my kodi fanart, cover art, cd art, etc on the external as it takes up so much space internally for my large media collection that kodi accesses from my nas.

There will be future uses for root as well, of course (there always is), but these were my immediate needs.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaess:
I recently rooted my NP, and I'm completely new to android and rooting. My main desire is to be able to get all of my sideloaded apps into the leanback interface, and to be able to rearrange the order and hide app icons I don't use. I've noticed by default Kodi RC2 appears in the leanback interface.

Do you have any tips for modifying the leanback interface in the way I've described?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elrondolio:
Since things are so new with the leanback launcher there hasn't been much time for any semi-automated tools/apps to be coded to accomplish what you want. Manually, however, is very doable depending on your desired time investment.

You can modify select sideloaded apps to make them show up on the leanback interface by uncompressing its apk, editing its manifest then re-compressing and re-sideloading. See this post: How to sideload XBMC/Kodi on Nexus Player. See also this helpful post from [MENTION=3874970]zlexy[/MENTION] : [Q] Launching Netflix From Within Kodi.

You can re-arrange the order of apps listed in the leanback interface by editing leanback launcher's database. See this post by [MENTION=5078712]ariful[/MENTION] : [Q] Rearranging Apps on Android TV Nexus Player.

Again, these methods are a bit labour intensive... it'll have to be that way until more devs start/finish coding for this brand new interface/device and/or for Google to release more customizable updates. Good luck.
