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.

More to the point, why do people root, when they have no reason to..... If you want to know things you can do after root, there is no real need to root.

Now that your rooted you can get rid of bloatware by using an app called root explorer, navigate to the folders stored on your phone and delete everything you see. Bloatware will be gone

Personally, I think Titanium Backup is better for removing bloat because it removes data associated with the bloat too
Also, to backup and restore your rom you need an unlocked bootloader. Root won't help you with that
I think you might have missed the sarcasm, if im not mistaken

Maybe it's time for a sticky thread about the best apps with root access? I think that would be a great idea. I wanted to root for a couple reasons (WiFi tethering, Six Axis controller, and removing bloatware) but there were still some things that I didn't know about that I do now because of a previous thread I made like this one.

Bloatware is any app installed on your phone by a service provider that you don't want, but without root cannot get rid of. (i.e. On verizon, they include vzw navigator, a pay-to-use navigation system; backup assistant, a "service" that works the exact same way as any android automatically syncs your contacts with your gmail account; and visual voicemail, a pay-to-use voicemail system that is equivalent to google voice)

Dude go take your fustrations out on your wife or kids, if you think im showing off because i know how to read then that really doesnt say much about you.
Like the majority of people here, if i do not know something i will go look it up, not ask others to do it for me. Your either super lazy or just plain stupid.
If paxchristos already answered then its over right. Why would you add up on things on which is already answered. Isnt it showing off. Why would i be frustrated? It is you who should be frustrated because nobody cares about how you show off here. I bet youre also doing it on others. Theres a problem with your attitude man. And stupidity is not even enough to describe. Maybe its just reasonable enough to take that frustration out on yourself. This is a place of information, from basic to advance. This isnt a place of showing off.

I really don't even know how to search for this because the only device I know of that I could compare the functionality I want is the iPod Touch. I moved to Verizon a while back and got the Galaxy Nexus. What I would like to do with my Epic is remove all of the phone functions and leave it as a WiFi capable device similar to the iPod Touch so that my son can use it to watch videos and play games. I keep airplane mode turned on, but I keep getting some notification about voicemail not working and I would prefer it to not be able to accidentally dial 911 since Sprint is required to allow that call if the phone tries to send it.
Are there any ROM's that do this, or is it easy to remove the necessary files? I currently have ACE2.0 flashed, and I love it, but I will switch if I need to.
Didn't someone just post this exact same thing? Delete dialeractivity.apk and there will be no dialer.

Sorry, I didn't see any threads that I thought were the same question. Does that take care of the voicemail notification too?
I found this when looking for something similar for a used Fascinate.
I haven't tried it yet, but intend to when I get some time in a couple weeks...
Looking at the package it deletes several apks and installs a "radiooptions" binary that gets run via script at boot-up.

Used to be able to click on an address in text messages or in any browser and android would open it in MAPS or EARTH or NAVIGATION etc.
I recently installed AOKP milestone 6 for the first time, coming from Caulks 1.6. I'm not sure if it's an AOKP issue or if it's a 4.0.4 issue or what. I do know my buddy just lost this function on his G Nexus when he updated to Jelly Bean. That makes me think it's not a 4.0.4 issue because it worked normally for him on ICS. I definitely haven't taken any OTA updates so even if it was part of the Apple patent bullsh!t how would it be effecting me?
This is really important to me because I use this function multiple times a day.
Also, Maps takes forever to focus when I zoom in on a map. Any ideas on that?
A quick search shows issues with strings.xml not associating correctly, regardless of app.
Did you clear, uninstall and try fresh with one of the apps?

Strings is just a way of using localized data contained to point to more data that it may contain. Its a SQL function, well, to me.
But I do not know if its a root or an app function within Android itself. Someone smarter than me may have that answer.
I'd try clearing cache and data for the particular app, removing, then reinstall. But it may be more severe of an issue if no app will work.
Did you recently flash a ROM?

I personally haven't used aokp, and I apologize for asking a question that you clearly answered in your op. Been a long day.
I'd check to see if anyone with your setup can recreate or maybe, possibly, you had a corrupted or failed partial file or a failed write during flash.

And to answer your question, I just searched "Android getlocality" which is geocoding. Which will point you to strings, which are generic.. We use it in my line of work. Environmental Engineering.. ( i'm not a tree hugger btw..)

Lol that's ok if you were. I just wondered bc I searched "address" and didn't find a thing related.
Ok just tested and it works in dolphin but not chrome. I just started using Chrome so that must not be a feature. As for sms I guess the it just doesn't work. I'll look into if I have a jelly bean sms app. I bet that's it.

And, to beat a dead horse deader, cause you touched on something I actually use, Andriod Chrome is using geocoding.. Odd that it isn't working for you. My maps in ICS have that function but it may still be broken in JB. Reference here.
Just read an article talking about google's own lost device tracking, anybody got any clue how they planning to deliver it? via apk or update in android version??
any additional info on this would be appreciated

I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.
