I'm planning on selling my EVO. I've done a wipe, but my Sprint PCS user name is still under 'About phone'. How can I get rid of it?
I think that'll go away when you have that phone disconnected. Someone chime in and let me know if I'm wrong.

Once the phone is reactivated it will take on the new user information.
I thought that when I activated a new phone, the EVO would automatically be deactivated? It seems everything is removed except my PCS username.
You can do a MSL master reset on the phone, it should erase it. And if it doesn't, your info will gone when the other person erases it. If it's deactivated, it's not like they can really use it.

What's the # code for that?
##786# from a Sense based ROM
Looks like that did it, thanks all!
Can i do the master reset to change the sprintpcs username even if my phone is activated

I made an app for easy access to the service menu's on the Galaxy S. I made it on the Vibrant so if anyone is willing to try it on the I9000 and leave me some feed back it would be much appreciated.
The app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772690
Installed it on a stock Galaxy S and it seems to work fine.
After you select an item (i.e. GPS) it temporary brings up the Telephone keypad then goes straight to the service menu without any further intervention.
However, when you have finished altering items and come back out it again takes you again to the Telephone keypad where this time you then have to hit 'back' once again to come out.... Is this correct?
Yes this is correct. The program is just typing all those crazy service codes into the dialer for you, so you dont have to remember them all. Thank You for the feedback it is much appreciated.

Do any of the options work or are they all broke on the epic? If some work, which ones?
None work, I'm not rooted maybe that's why???? To confirm I'm using the app properly. I launch the app, select a setting, it launches the dialer, and instead of then launching the service menu, nothing happens.., if I press the Send, it attempts to make a phone call. I tried for all of them, as I was hoping to get this to work.
Thats strange. You should not have to be rooted. Sounds to me like samsung changed the codes for access on the epic. I will do some research into this. Can you type a code manually in the dialer and let me know what happens? For example this should show your your IMEI number: *#06#
EDIT: I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7973675
It appears the secret codes are not working at all on the epic, so it is not the program. It seems these menu's were locked out or removed (possibly at sprints request).

Ya nothing works when I press the factory format it tells me it will erase everything but I'd rather not see what happens next. Thanks for your efforts maybe verizon will remove the codes too.

I have evo running cm7 someone hacked my phone they got my txt msgs and forwarded them. I always have my phone. How can I find out how they did this and how can I prevent this.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
OK, well it really isnt possible to remotly hack a phone unless you installed an app that let somebody do this. So, two questions, what have you installed recently, and how do you know somebody hacked your phone?
Well really nothing and I also get 10 to 15 blocked calls a day I have Mr number blocker installed to block these but somehow some get through to my voicemail. The messages were saved and the whole thread was forwarded. Also pictures get forwarded and phone makes calls by itself

Sounds weird.
Full wipe and/or factory reset just to be safe. Probably not a good idea to use any backups from the infected rom.
LBE Security is an app for free on the market.
It'll prompt you if an untrusted app tries to do anything malicious like that.
Swyped from my Htc Evo using XDA App.
How does he know that they were forwarded.... probably someone was messing with your phone
With adb you can use the following to find out what all is running, whatever is doing it should show up on there
Code:
adb shell ps
I always keep my phone on me. I know they were forwarded because my ex got pic and messages and I did not send them thanks guys

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
check your apps through TB or manage apps and see what is all on your phone, maybe your ex or someoene installed something on your phone to forward texts.. i had a ex try and install a app on my phone (cant remeber its name), this app was suppose to be hidden and only accessable by hiting some numbers on the dial pad and hitting send.. But i noticed right away somethign was weird in my phone (it was acting real slow) and i looked in applications and manage apps and found it and uninstalled it..
Looked at my apps, saw nothing weird

If you're on of those people who believe your phone can get hacked I'd suggest lookout security or avg free antivirus to ease your mind.
Yea, I find it hard to believe someone hacked your phone JUST to send pictures to your ex girlfriend. Are you sure you didnt get drunk and send them yourself? Or let your friend borrow the phone?
I don't drink and its happening well thanks anyway I guess I wont find a solution here
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Are you sure someone didn't sign in to your Sprint picture mail acct online? I think they can forward from there. Also if you always use the same password, they can dial your number and access your vm and forward them etc

Hello everyone
I think I have deleted "My account " app or widget (I don't know what it is)
So now, will I get the ICS update, or not?
I'm on stock everything, except for some deleted bloatware.
I am a n00b, so please someone help me with this.
Thanks for reading this.

My account doesn't have anything to do with the update. You'll get ics when you get it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
u can just download my account in the market if u did delete it. also it has nothing to do with u getting ics or not. like what the other guy said above me.
Thank you very much for your help.
If I don't need it, I will not download it.
I gest received the unlock code from T-MO and the rep. couldn't find my EMEI # so I had to give it to him "manually". But he did get my wife's # automatically.
I guess "My account " app has something to do with it.
Thanks again

ur welcome. but i have had to give tmobile my IMEI number before because for some reason there system didnt update it once i got the phone. they told me it takes 48 hours for the system to update ur new IMEI number. but i still call in and make sure they change it. but even then i think it still takes 48 hours to update in there system. thats what the reps told me.
I have two lines and i made a change of number on the main line through the website and everything seem fine i let the phone sit, now neither lines can make or receive calls only data but not sms either, the sprint rep told me that the phone is not connecting to the tower

Clear NVRAM and let it reactivate?
Almost any time I tried doing something to my phone via the Sprint site, it bit me in the ass...whether it be changing the number or activating new phones. Every time, I've had to deal with them on the phone (an alternate cell phone, that is) and have them troubleshoot it with me, resetting things on their end. If you've tried that and they've been unable to help you get it up and running, I agree with the poster who said to send it into the shop and see what they can do for you.

This. Do a hands free activation on both devices. Weird that the second line is acting up which would make me think it is them. Phone support should actually be willing to walk you through it but the store can do it for you as well, dont be surprised when they call the same people via a different number of course.
How do i clear NVRAM?

Msl can try 000000.. but ya, if you ask me sounds like a provisioning error.. best bet would be hands free activation, updating prl and profile.. if not just call sprint from alternate phone and they can walk you through it assuming your on a tw rom and not aosp.. if on aosp need to revert back to stock to be able to use the codes or even to updateprl and profile

im switching back to straight talk and found someone willing to trade their at&t note ll for my sprint note ll. i'm having a slight problem. i cant delete all my data and personal info off the phone. it still shows my phone number and name to the phone. i've done a complete factory reset. i dont get it. how can i completely delete everything off the phone? will rooting do this for me? how can i completely erase everything off the phone except the os?
your phone number and name are shown because the phone is still activated under your account... it's like a sim card until you deactivate it it will do that
