[HTC Excalibur] svtcontour:
I installed Ricky's 6.1 and everything went well. I have turned on the GPRS and can go to the web and stuff like that. The problem I am having is I can not get my Email to work when I add an account. My Outlook email box syncs fine, and my Text messages work. But when I go to add my Gmail account or my work email, they both keep asking for my user name and password for the incoming server.

I know the settings are correct, they are the same I used before the 6.1 upgrade. Now I did use Sprite backup before the update. When I restore my backup up the Email works fine, but it screws up a bunch of other stuff from the upgrade.

Is there a file or T-mobile plug in I have to install to get it working again?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urbex:
Looking at picking up a 8T, and I'm on Sprint with zero desire to leave or change to Tmo. I would absolutely need this thing unlocked, as I've become far too attached to having a dual SIM phone. I've only bought phones direct from the manufacturers for quite a few years so that I would get factory unlocked phones, as I've heard Sprint can be a real pain in getting phones unlocked even when they're paid off.

But I'm also reading that Sprint will only whitelist the 8T that they've sold, so it sounds like it will be impossible to buy a phone that's already unlocked? Just wanted to make sure before dropping $800 at the Sprint store tomorrow...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Why are you still on Sprint?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urbex:
Because I want to.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
If you buy it from OnePlus, it will not work on Sprint.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Sprint isn't on the list of supported carriers
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urbex:
Then I guess Sprint sells a phone that won't work on their own network...:rolleyes:
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
I didn't honestly know they were even still in business, I thought they stopped service long ago. That info I posted was from OnePlus and it's list of compatible carriers. Sprint always was and always will be a huge POS.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] blackwing182:
You just have to accept and make the jump to t-mobile 🤷🏼‍♂️
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urbex:

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] yakima:
I thought sprint was bought by t mobile.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Wow you pay for sprint? I thought they gave away the service for free for the past few years before the buyout.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urbex:

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Tmobile bought Sprint for their spectrum holdings and to increase their coverage to better compete against Verizon and AT&T. Sprint has always had better coverage than Tmobile, but mismanagement and losses over the years made them a smaller company revenue-wise and ripe for the taking, hence the assimilation by Tmobile.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
It's odd that the 8T sold direct from OnePlus' website's specifications correlate with compatible frequencies for Sprint, yet it doesn't list compatibility with Sprint. CDMA frequencies BC0 (850 MHz), BC1 (1900 MHz), BC10 (800 MHz), and LTE 25, 26, 41.

But, Sprint sells an 8T+ 5G on their site, which is ofcourse locked to their network. 🤷🏽‍♂️
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Because Sprint uses a whitelist for phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] hayedid:
I purchased an S9 with SM-G960U on it and someone said that could not run Visible but that SM-G960U1 would.... so I finally got SM-G960U1 installed.....

and.....

The phone just says "No Network Connection" and doesn't see the Visible cell service.

Does anyone know how to get this going or what I can check?

Thank you.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] internetnomad:
Hi, I switched to an LG Velvet a few months ago, however, instead of getting rid of my old Huawei p20, I instead converted it to my dedicated media streaming device. Specifically, I use it exclusively with my CRT television as a means to stream 4:3 content from my server through the VLC app. Overall, I absolutely love it, however I have one minor issue that I hope to resolve. My problem is that despite the phone's settings toggled to disabled all sleep functions, the phone when in desktop mode/EMUI, when not in use for a prolonged period of time will display the lock screen on the actual desktop screen, while the phone itself will appear unlocked, meaning I'll have to physically get up and toggle/cycle the on button.

Using my bluetooth mouse does not seem to work for the lock screen either. I was wondering if there was any way to remove this screen entirely or a custom rom that is better suited for a streaming/desktop mode in mind. I rather like the EMUI GUI which scales pretty well to a 4:3 ratio, so anything similar, minus the lockscreen nag would be ideal. I've attached a screenshot of said screen.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EirikrHinnRauthi:
Verizon has prevented device activations on their 3G network.

Even when activating a 4G LTE SIM and putting it in the Thunderbolt, the phone will not work with *228 -- when putting the SIM back into a "supported" LTE device you get the Verizon error of there being a "restriction on the line"

Sprint is being absorbed by T-Mobile. I chatted with customer support and they could not put these devices on their network for CDMA-only use... which will be shut down soon.

What use do these have?

Can these be activated somewhere on a Verizon MVNO as an LTE-only/data device?

Will these work on any Verizon partners, such as Cellcom in Wisconsin?

Will these work as LTE-only anywhere else, can they be shipped nationwide?

Would there be any interest in a CyanogenMod 5.1.1 port to these devices - WiFi only of course? Have one final "hurrah" so it goes out as a "Data-only" mini-tabletty device!? Poor phone. rip. May you live on like the HD2

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascp22:
As the tile suggests I have a 2019 Shield TV (Tube) which is currently stuck in a boot loop. The Shield was bought from an auction website as faulty, so hoping I might be able to salvage it. This model does not have a USB port (can't use ADB utility) but has an SD card slot to load any firmware files.

I am able to get into the fast boot menu, both safe mode and factory reset still result in a boot loop

I have loaded the latest Andriod TV Recovery OS image v8.2.0 from https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload onto a FAT32 SD Card

Using the Android Recovery Menu I am able to load the image from the SD card but it fails verification with an error "Failed to verify package compatibility (result -19): No device manifest file from device or from update package." The installation then aborts

I get the same error with ealier versions of the Recovery OS

In the Android Recovery Menu I have also tried both 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe data / factory reset' but issue still exists

Any other options available?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Network_Pro:
This should work with the factory OS image for the non-Developer model. Ask nvidia support for it. Dont say auction etc its their responsibility to provide right to repair.

I am also getting the same issue. I've unchecked "Auto Restart" in Oden, downloaded the TWRP from the website, and flashed it as AP in Odin. I press Vol down + power, then Vol up + power then it screen blanks, then just vol up when the logo appears. However, TWRP recovery mode never appears no matter how long I hold power up.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gravydigger:
Turns out that I needed to keep the cable connected to launch into TWRP recovery mode. At least thats how I think I solved it.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elo13:
can you tell me the exact steps you followed?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gravydigger:
I can try.

I used this forum post to help me as well, but to summerise:

Some things to consider that I had issue with:

After trying several types of firmware, I found that twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar worked for me (its on this forum post).

Make sure that it doesn't auto-reboot. For some reason, despite having that option unticked it would still auto reboot for me.

In the video that I watched, the cable was removed once the phone was flashed. DO NOT DO THIS. Keep it connected the whole time.

It seems like in the video you posted, you did the button presses correctly, but I'd recommend holding the Volume Up key when the Samsung Logo appears for a bit longer (10-15 second). if it doesn't appear after that time it your have to retry.

When it does finally work, you can just upload the files you need to the phone via the computer through the cable. Don't be like me who spent hours trying to format an SD card with EXT4 and put the files on it on a windows computer.

Best of luck on your flashing attempt!

Hi, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? (see photo)

This happened after flashing twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar with Odin. - Unfortunately I am not quite sure, if I have screwed up with pressing the key combination or if it has to do with the version of firmware which I had flashed a few weeks ago.

BTW: I let the battery drain, but the problem persists when it gets charged again.

I used the 6.1 upgrade posted here the other day -

ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE

ROM date: 07/17/08

Radio version: 1.65.21.18

Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H

Everything has been working great except for GPS. I downloaded Google Maps and it worked previously with the 'Managed by Windows' option selected, but I cannot get a connection now. It just sits there with 'Seeking GPS satellites (0) ... " and does not connect. If I manually select COM4, it times out after a while and says "No GPS receive was found. yada yada yada."

I know the final official ATT rom uses a different radio version (1.65.17.10) and protocol version (25.83.40.02H). Would this effect the GPS? Should I load the official ROM instead of this one? Or can I just flash the radio?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] fletchj2000:
Oops. I just noticed that you didn't install the ROM that came directly from AT&T. I used the official ROM and haven't had any problems.

It is possible that a difference in the radio could affect the use/performance of the GPS. I would still try the HTC GPS Tool first. If you haven't used it before, it will display all the satellites that your unit sees and their signal strengths.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] epoh:
Thanks, I'll go find that an install it. I've tried Windows Live Search, Google Maps and TrackMe, and none work so far. If I can't figure out it out by tomorrow I may just flash the 'official' ROM. I'd love to try one of the cooked ROMs, but work fries my brain enough as it is.
