New sprint phone - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my office is allowing me to get a basic sprint phone for voice only, and will be picking up the plan costs. Regardless of the phone I pick, I want to swap it out for my epic if possible.
My question is then in the data usage. Is data even available on corporate voice plans that aren't designed for it? I would not expect 4g, but what about 3g/evdo? Are there 'workarounds'?

Nope. Sprint knows by the model number of the phone. The epic "will" need a data plan. It has integrated system apps that require data access. Such as maps, gmail..etc...
And if there is a work around, I have never heard of one.

Isn't sprint free after 7? Or does that not count for international?

Skype or using your google number with that free calling program thingy

Transferring wife's # to my Evo

My Epic 4G Touch is coming tomorrow, my wife is gonna use my Evo 4G. Do I need to unroot or flash a sense rom or anything like that to get my wife's # transferred to the Evolution?

Sense ROM (use stock) is needed for that kind of stuff. I believe there is an option in Accounts on sprint.com to switch numbers online. Or, you can always go to the store

Disable hands free activation

Hi all....
How I can disable "Hands free activation" ???
my phone not rooted...
Regards
I would also like to know this since my E4GT has never been activated on any Sprint account. Brand new out of the box replacement from Samsung, no plans on activating with Sprint.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The only way I know to deactivate it is flash it on the carrier you want it on... Other than that, it's going to keep trying to connect to Sprint.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
My phones flashed to cricket and almost all touchwiz roms do this, if you want it to end flash aosp, it doesn't have hand free activation.
Even on AOSP it shows up when you reboot. You can skip it and it is hidden until you reboot again.

Tmobile S3 question

I have a sprint S3, my buddy just got a s3 and is on Tmobile while showing him some stuff on his phone I noticed they have a setting for wifi calling in there settings.. It allows him to use his data connection to receive and make calls when he has low cellular signal. I can't find this anywhere on the sprint version. This would be extremely helpful at work when I have no signal.

That is only natively available on T-mobile phones. I wish it was available for us too, that would be cool.

Would it be possible to port it? Or is there an app that would do the same thing?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I've never done it, but there's a way to do it with a combination of Google Voice and a VOIP app.
As far as porting it, I'm not a device so I wouldn't know. I think it has more to do with how t-mobile handles it rather than something that's actually on the phone.

I actually do have Google voice integrated what voip app would I need?

Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Only app I know of that would be useful here is groove ip. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip&hl=en
Ok if i have the sprint integration of Google voice on my phone? and i download Groove i should be able to use my cell number over wifi?
*on a side note what is the advantages of google voice with sprint integration?
I feel like I saw that feature on ICS and then it went away in JB.

Are you on the original tmobile rom? Are you rooted? I would appreciate your help. I have purchased foxfi/pdanet and I still get a tmobile tether message... I'm also rooted and froze tethering manager.
I was under the impression that plans have 500MB free but once you go over that amount T-Mobile will start charging you... Like $10 per GB.
Im pretty sure they cut it off if you go over, but tether usage doesn't show any tether being used, I have jedi master 12, I always use Google Chrome on my laptop.

Don't mean squat. I have used over 12.1 mb and can't teather on my plan, yet shows on my account page.
It's obvious a glitch as their myaccount app sucks arse!
Tried connecting and won't let me, unless I change my plan.

Has anyone here come across a non user agent method of tethering yet? If its come up i apologize, just be real is it possible on the tmobile truly unlimited plan ??!

I would just like to chime in here. I'm on the $60 month to month plan with 2gb of data at 4g speeds. Right before i just paid for my minutes were to be reloaded this month, i got a text saying that the $60 plan would go from 2gb's of data to 2.5gb's of data. Also the stock hotspot app would also work. So after i refilled my account on Friday, i was messing with the hotspot app and sure enough the native hotspot app is working like a charm. Has anyone else notice the upgrade? I'm guessing that there is no longer a need to use 3rd party tethering apps. I could be wrong though.

So op, how are you able to tether on the Unlimited everything plan? From what you said, I am assuming you are using Tmobile tether (not root) and they dont seem to offer any tethering on their unlimited (data) plan - ??
