[XDA Assist] :
Lately i have not been able to open protected apps with the pattern lock i set. The lock just appears twice and even after drawing the correct unlock pattern, it wont open. It just goes back to the home screen. I even tried resetting my home to factory settings. Aftet that the lock worked for a couple of times and then again the same problem. Can anybody throw some light on this? That will be very helpful.

P.S. i cant find any particular app that might have caused this and i dont have any external app lock on my yureka.

Not really a problem it's actually really cool but I don't know why I am able to do this I bought it brand new the from walmart its the 4glte Moto E -2 for Virgin Mobile and unless it comes with a sim inside already I never put one in I was just gonna use it around wifi cause I can't afford to turn cell service on yet. Without wifi being connected and without having put any information in pertaining to activating my prepaid plan with virgin mobile I never even put information in it lets me connect using data. It's picking up on the Virgin Mobile 4g LTE signal it even says so in settings but you'll usually be able to see the data signal picking up but it never actually lets you connect until you start a plan and insert the activated sim for the plan. But I'm able to download , browse, listen to music and do everything running off of 4g for free for some reason?

I thought since this mysteriously was working despite having not paid or signed up for service with anyone maybe using the built in phone would work too since in settings there was a phone number listed for the phone but when I try opening up the native phone app it then trys to get me to either sign in to my prepaid virgin mobile account and start a service and pay for it but if I exit out and just go back to using hangouts I can use the data capabilities just fine. Is this a glitch? Seems too good to be true especially cause I haven't done anything to the phone except take it out of the box no root no nothing. I almost don't want to root now in case it might somehow make it to where the data connection doesn't work anymore cause its super awesome being able to use my phone anywhere without worrying about needing a wifi connection and I didn't pay for anything o.o

If anyone else has this lucky error in your favor do tell cause I searched everywhere and I can't find anyone else having posted about it.

Phone was likely wrongly activated on someone else's account and will be shut off after they realize what has happened. Try to dial a number from the phone to see what number is used on it.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Your "situation" actually sparked a very lucrative business for me from July, 2015 to the present. An exploit in Virgin Mobile's 4G/LTE network (mvno subsidiary of Sprint) allows for Android enthusiasts well versed in telephony standards to purchase a Virgin Mobile Data Done Right smartphone from Walmart and, without activating the device, enable unlimited 4G/LTE data which can in turn be used with the device's native mobile hotspot. I have personally seen such devices being used now for 18+ months with no problem. For obvious reasons the exact nature of the exploit cannot be articulated here. I can say, however, that it is not unlawful to take advantage of an exploit that was not hacked or otherwise implemented by the user of the device.

Please explain. I am new to XDA. Have I improperly replied or have I violated a rule?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean35:
I think he's saying it needs to be closed because you're detailing a somewhat known method to get free data (and free calls, if using Hangouts Dialer or VOIP). I accidentally discovered this loophole last fall, after canceling service with Virgin Mobile. The latest build of 5.1 closes the loophole.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
We are definitely speaking of different "loopholes." I've ran every build of 5.1, including the most recent, s.12, and it has had no effect on my connectivity. In fact, the network exploit I referred to has nothing to do with the Android OS itself, but rather the msm8916 baseband. I wasn't discussing any known method to get free data. Please don't take me the wrong way. I want to fully abide by the rules and regulations of XDA and I was only sharing my particular experience with 4G/LTE connectivity.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean35:
Weird. Anything newer than S11 and I have to activate the phone to get data to work (I reactivated briefly, then ditched the phone again). Reflashing previous firmware brings data back without an account. I personally don't have an issue with discussing this because I can't activate the phone on an MVNO like FreedomPop or RingPlus (which is what I wanted to do), and I don't really use the phone anyway.

Detailing this loophole is really a bad idea... more people will learn about then start to abuse it. In response we'll get higher prices and more locked down software.

OK when you say your data is being throttled I have an idea what you mean now. However rest assured that throttling cannot possibly occur on DDR free unlimited LTE loophole devices. So, since it's not that, let's explore some other possible causes of your diminished data speeds.

Using the Speedtest.net Android app, please give me a good average download/upload speeds of your LTE.

Oh also open your cellular radio menu (*#*#4636#*#*) "Phone Information" and at the top left portion of the menu. Please tell me your LTE signal strength in terms of dBm & asu

In fact it would suffice easier to simply screen shot that menu (redacting your phone number of course, as well as any other security sensitive identifiers.)

Just out of curiosity would you be able to roam on Verizon 4G? Would it be possible?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
No. Roaming on a Sprint compatible CDMA device is limited to the 3G network. However, keep in mind that 3G encompasses the HSPA+ technology standard, which, depending on geographical location and network strength, can attain download speeds comparable to 4G/LTE. The best download speeds I've been able to get on Verizon roaming have been in the range of 30Mbps, with an up speed of 7 - 8Mbps.

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Virgin Mobile has been spewing the same BS for almost 9 months. Activating on DDR has not ended (unless you are referring to actually paying for LTE data on the DDR network under a prepaid plan). The activation of new devices, insofar as achieving 4G/LTE connectivity on the "DDR network", is still commonplace. Although, new and sealed DDR devices are becoming exceedingly rare. Put very simply, this is the situation: Virgin Mobile cannot put a stop to something that they possess absolutely no control over. There are four confirmed APN configurations by which the free data loophole will operate. My devices, for example, have been connected directly to the Sprint 4G/LTE network since February. I fully realize that Virgin Mobile monitors these threads (yes, David H., I am referring to you sir). So I'll say this like I've said it for nearly 35 months. Virgin Mobile, thank you for the 200+ GB of free high speed LTE data you give me every month between my 11 devices. Whether you like it or not, you will continue providing me with free LTE data until either (1) my devices cease to function hardware-wise, or (2) until Sprint takes down all the towers and servers that comprise their Nationwide 4G/LTE Spark Network. Neither scenario is occurring any time soon.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when I woke up on September 15 I no longer had a functional ddr phone.

I live somewhere remote in the USA and I only had Sprint EvDo connection, LTE and eHRPD were alrways non-existent and everyone that I know that pays for sprint can only connect to Sprint in EvDo mode only, so I never got a change to test out the loophole in LTE mode to see how fast I could have gotten the connection. Well anyways here's the deal, I have been enjoying EvDo internet connectivity through my HTC Desire 510 ddr smartphone for a good 1 year and a half on this area where the only option to get high speed internet for my house would have been via a satellite company that severely limits what you can do with expensive packages of 5/10/20+ GB's of data caps per months. I was able to do alot with my internet connection and I am greatly thankful to both, Virgin Mobile and Sprint for the chance they gave me to experience free internet for my entire house completely free and truly unlimited for a year and a half, but it saddens me to know that it finally went away and now EvDo shows up as "conencting" under testing (*#*#4636*#*#) and after a good 2 minutes then it changes to "disconnected" and shows up as "Emergency Calls Only". No matter what I do, I am not able to get data working again. not in EvDo, not in 1xRTT nothing, so I am incommunicado at the moment.

Nothing helped, I still get zero bars, I appreciate your help but as of now I declare the device defective and non-functional, it bit the bullet :(. What I did was I ordered a netgear zing 771s on amazon and I just received it yesterday I inserted the ddr sim card into it and I was able to get at least 2 bars of connection in eHRPD mode but the connection doesn't stick after a few minutes the data gets cut off saying invalid sim if I remove the sim and re-insert it then it reconnects and I can surf for another few minutes before it happens again. How can I make the data stay on? I know the MSL code of the 771s. Thanks.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
That's known as IMS Validation failure. Data breaks after nine minutes. Placing a Sprint compatible SIM into a device to whigh the SIM is not registered causes this. The fix is different for every device and not a subject you'll easily find answers for. The people that know how to do it are probably not going to be forthcoming I'm afraid.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xprtusa:
Would calling Sprint as a non-customer to register the ddr SIM to the 771S help? Or would they in the process deprogram my ddr sim card, or are they unable to deactivate the loophole from this particular sim card and once registered to my 771S then I can enjoy LTE/data interruption free?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
A few months back, when DDR was still a public MVNO, calling customer service was by far the simplest way to "register" the SIM to the desired device. When DDR officially closed it's doors, Virgin Mobile offered free migration of their DDR devices to Virgin Mobile USA accounts. In other words if you had, for example, a DDR Moto E LTE, Virgin would remotely convert it to a Virgin Mobile USA device, which could then be used on a prepaid basis with one of the VM USA plans.

So, now when you call Virgin Mobile regarding anything DDR, they will convert the device, even against your wishes.

One way to do what you are trying to accomplish is to essentially reprogram specific telephony configurations via Qualcomm's leaked software, QPST, or alternatively, with CDMA Toolkit Pro. In a nutshell, you must force your device to "see" the installed SIM as its original registered SIM. There is no simple way to do this.

A T-Mobile/Sprint merger would make these phones even more valuable. Coverage nationwide. No limits.

Think about it, no restrictions on roaming agreements internationally with both Sprint and T-Mobile. Essentially, it would be a no strings attached global phone effortlessly switching between international providers.

With all these service providers looking to throttle and limit data usage in the coming years, it's hard to imagine that we will be the ones without these restrictions.

The merger won't be quick though. It will take years to finalize it. Who knows, T-Mobile could gut Sprint just like they did to MetroPCS (in which case, these devices will no longer work), though it seems unlikely since Sprint has a large LTE network in place.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
