Stock Evo Stock txt msg app
Long story short. A friend got blacklisted on a friends Evo by her jealous bf. She cant figure out how to unblock since its asking for a password. Im thinking he must have typed a password, so any way around this?
It's blocked in the phone and not with Sprint? If that's the case then I'm sure a factory reset will do the trick.

Correct, its blocked within the app only.
I honestly had no clue we could even do that. I'm digging through my Evo trying to find that option, not finding it.
Are you 100% sure it's part of the messaging app? Could you tell me how to do it?

Its through the messaging app, its not my phone. Im just trying to help this poor girl In stock app its under settings somewhere, Im running CM6 so cant replicate this.
Have you seen it with your own eyes or are you just relaying info that came from her? I'm digging through this thing and I can't find it anywhere. Also, I don't know why you would need a password to unblock someone on your own evo.
Sounds like Handcent...

Can you block handcent from being seen as an app on the phone?
And could you possibly delete the contact, and just make a new one? (Will that work for sprint blocked and handcent blocked?)
could deleting handset (if found on phone) fix this issue since she doesn't know such password?

Can you, probably. More likely it's the widget she knows to use and doesn't realize it. Walk her into the applications under settings.

Won't work if sprint blocked the ten digit number.

This has been asked in a few different forums but I was hoping someone with some developing/coding knowledge may be able to help..
Is it possible to change the gmail account associated with the market on a phone WITHOUT doing a factory reset?
Hoping someone with knowledge of the OS may have a little more insight!
Looks like the 1st account you set up cannot be removed without a reset, at least from what I've tried.
Even if you add a second Gmail account, you can remove the 2nd one, but not the 1st or primary account.
I know that, I was thinking perhaps there is a file somewhere buried on the phone that contains this info that can be edited and pushed back onto the phone after you edit it, if you have root
you can not change the email w/o a factory reset.
doing that will let you change the email associated with the market/phone
(primary email account), but you will loose
all purchased market apps, there is currently no way to do that.
Google knows this is the case.....unless its changed when i checked 2 weeks ago

Like I said, I know thats the standard answer, but the gmail account has to be stored in a file somewhere on the device, I thought maybe a dev knew where it was and/or how to edit/changes it without resetting....

Not necessarily. Could be stored in the cloud and linked to your device ID. Don't know for sure, but it's possible.

Maybe, that's why I asked =)
Apps are tied to your account, not your device.
I don't believe there is a way to transfer account details between email address. This is something that would reside on google's end, not on your phone.

I dont believe this is at all what the OP was asking, he just wants to change his primary gmail account linked to his android without doing a wipe. i dont recall him asking about any "apps" other than the market itself
as far i know, this is not posible. i would recomend using an app like titanium backup to backup all your programs and then do a reset, and restore the apps.
good luck, i hope you find the answer your looking for

Some people use more than one gmail account, if you enter the wrong one in the setup process you are stuck unless you do a factory reset. I think that's why he's asking.

If you accidentally entered the wrong info during setup, just wipe and start over right away (it's not like you're going to lose anything).

Some people don't realize this until they are into the setup a ways. It's a reasonable question, just don't think there is anyone out there that knows where that info would be. It has to be stored on the phone or a factory reset wouldn't fix it. Although i think this might be in the wrong forum

I know any paid apps are linked to the gmail account used to purchase them. Nowhere has the OP said anything about apps, paid or otherwise. The question was simple;
Can I change my primary gmail address my phone is syncing with, and do it without doing a factory reset?
now others have for some reason been compelled to start telling the OP what he can and cant do with apps linked to the gmail account
thats like going to a mechanic and asking him what the sound your breaks are making means, and the mechanic saying "well if you drive into something your airbags are gonna go off"

The OP won't tell us why this is so important. Backing everything up with Titanium Backup, wiping, setting up with the correct account, and then restoring would have taken less time than this thread has existed.
The only explanation I can think of is that the OP is trying to keep paid apps from the current account. There's no other reason to be going through all this hassle.
Following from this (completely reasonable) assumption, people feel compelled to inform the OP that this won't work, since the paid apps will be tied to the previous account. Google's new licensing system is going to make this even more difficult.

But if you do drive into something, most times your airbags will deploy. I think the mechanic is making a valid point and merely trying to warn you.
Ok this may be in the wrong section but I apologize, My wife has a Samsung Fascinate and I just rooted it put JB cm10 on it. I'm not sure why she is doing it but she is erasing her texts from a guy we know. yeah not cool right. Anyway is there a way I can see those texts before or after she erases them, I am the account owner on the phone as well. I just want to know why they are being erased from just him and the acount usage shows they clearly are texting all day.
This is the wrong forum, use your phones forums. Your wife is also probably cheating on you since she clearly has something to hide.
I'm not sure of a forwarding app, but something like sms backup+ will backup sms to email so you can see them there.

If you are the primary, then you might not. You could just try and see - don't tell them why, just say you need to see them. That said, you should probably just talk to her.

Yeah. You don't want to accuse her of cheating on you, or treat her like she is. It could be something else. I know that there probably isn't any relationship advice on xda, lol, but you really should just talk to her and ask her what's up. Tell her what's on your mind. I wish you the best of luck.

I have a Verizon LG G3. It is not rooted nor do I have any backups. I've searched online and found several programs, however I cannot get any of them to work. Can anyone tip me in the right direction? I accidentally deleted all my texts late last night.

Last night seems like a long time to try and recover those texts. Most likely, the deleted data is already overwritten. Next time use SMS Backup and Restore to backup your texts.

Call your carrier and ask them if they can recover them for you. If not you need a court order (warrant).
No, no court warrant. A contractor I hired flaked on me, so I put a stop payment on the check. He is threatening to sue me for the money he is not entitled to. I had messages showing I "fired him", but for some stupid reason, I deleted all my texts last night.
When I first got the phone, it gave me an option to restore texts. It restored a bunch from months prior. Do you think if I do a master reset, I could get them back that way?

No. A master reset wouldn't magically retrieve them. The only option is calling the carrier and see if they can print you out a transcript of those texts. They should be able to.

I got them. I retrieved them online in my Verizon account. Crazy. Every text is there.
Are there any visual voicemail options for people with the Pixel XL on sprint? I can't seem to get anything working properly.
Would like to know this as well?
You can activate it in phone settings.

Not sure if it's a carrier thing or because I tried to set it up with Google voice but it only dials into voicemail and none are ever shown on the tab, even though I have a notification for vm
It's been so long since I've had Sprint. Did they move people from their old Sprint VVM app to GV? I've been using GV in place of it on whatever GSM carrier ever since I switched from the Sprint Hero. Works fine on my Pixel XL.

Best option for you guys is set up the Google voice app and enable the option to integrate with the dialer. Hope that works.

I couldn't get gv to work. When people called me they heard silence instead of my voicemail. Tried redoing the whole setup, no joy. Super weird. I didn't do the integration with Sprint though, because people sometimes use my gv number
Sprint changed the dialer codes for forwarding messages. I think it is now *73. Google never updated the app.

I did try this, you don't flash it from what I can tell, you simply copy it over. I don't have root so I simply installed it and it does launch, however, it can't register itself and can't update itself. Sorry for rezing an old topic but this is the only thread I've found where it isn't just straight *****ing about the issue instead of trying to fix it.
To get visual voicemail, it has to be through the carrier. Telus finally got it up here in Canada and I have been using it since launch
Use this

This is what I use, although I am on Verizon. I love it. It's free and will carry over to any service you use.
Thanks for the updated app, but the account verification still doesn't work, it fails. Maybe we need the "my Sprint" app as well?
Edit:Nope
i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters
Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.
