How often do you dial your own number? I don't know mine either...

I need to edit a file and add the phone number before boot.

Not imo.... I have never once dialed my number... why do I need to know it... I know my wifes and my house and that's all I need in my memory... got more important things to store up there than phone numbers....

You never once gave out your phone number in a webform or to a phone rep when ordering something or confirming account information? Or never given your phone number out to someone you have befriended in either your personal or professional life?
If so, then I'm in awe.

How not, its pretty easy you have to write your number down for a lot of people and things and it shouldn't be hard to remember your number after several times writing or thinking whatever....
The 1st day i got this number i already knew it never had to "umm what is it again"

Maybe for you... I haven't given out my number to anybody really... I think 7 people... and I sent them a text with the namecard or whatever it is... I never write my number down for anything... that's what my house phone is for... this phone is more of a toy than a means of communication for me... I never make calls and maybe 10 texts a day... so no, I don't need to know my phone number... awesome that you have yours memorized, but I just don't need to... gotta always remember.... different strokes for different folks!

Wow this has gotten off topic. Anyway I'm assuming this isnt possible? I thought maybe android or the device saves this somewhere accessible with a command of some sort ie getinfo(). Any devs want to chime in?

[Q] Sprint and your Rom...

i just go done talking to sprint.... my phone has a Display problem...i asked for a warranty replacement. I told them what happened and i didnt tell them it was rooted because of the obvious reasons.... as it turns out sprint can actually remotely go into your phone and know exactly what you are running.... They asked about myn and warm 2.2.... so i had to tell them... so just a heads up be careful who you talk to.... did anyone else know this?
Wow, I didnt know that but thanks for the H.U.
Luckily I have TEP so its not much of a problem but that would be something to look out for if your phone starts acting up
What happened?
Did they follow through with the Warranty or void it? I do IT work for a few sprint stores and was told that rooting the phone would void its warranty (hence why I ask). In the same breathe, none of them at the stores would know
Thanks for the info.

they said that my warranty is VOID until i can prove that im on stock rom and the only way to do that is by going to the store.

Dang man that's no good. Sorry to hear.
So what if you ruu back to factory settings? About 3 weeks ago I had to have a speaker replaced they didn't say anything about it but he actually asked me if I had ever thought about rooting I just played dumb. That's crazy though that they can see that remotely... actually no thats not that crazy.

Just run the ruu. If your phone is usb connected and the only issue is the display that won't prevent you from going back to stock. You can check usb connectivity in windows or by doing an adb devices if you have set up adb.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH SPRINT.that is Invasion Of Privacy completely Unlawful and unnessecary why cant they just have asked you .......very concerning
Just flash the 1.47 RUU then run S-ON. You'll be essentially downgrading low enough to where you can re-run Unrevoked with no problems whatsoever. Good luck.

Hold on, hold on...before we get all flared up, I don't think Sprint is actually logging on to our phones.
They are likely just getting Mod/Kernel version from About Phone menu option..just the way they can know about the PRL/PRI from their system (may be these are the traces that our phones leaves on the system).
If you guys are so worried, just go to build.prop and change the mod/build name.

sorry, not trying to be rude. But no sense asking what ifs, just because this seems to be news to everyone that Sprint can do this. So changing the build.prop might be a good start, if that doesnt work then I dont know. I don't develop these things. Maybe make some type of cached image that looks legit, so Sprint sees that instead of the actual figures. Or some type of block maybe

Your best bet would be to look at another phone, similar OS, on the same network and change your phones settings to match. You're already "flashed" and capable of using your phone to make and receive phone calls?

I think, starting with GSM phones, but with digital phones in general, you can no longer manually program phones; all phone programming is done over the air. But, since this is Xda, maybe someone knows how to insert that information thru a file in the OS.

-unknown number bug when getting a call no matter what i do
-not receiving sms or mms or anything
-not having even a good radio with signal or wifi(is amazing how a b/g ipod touch can receive wifi networks that an a/b/g/n cant even get)

Have you tried resetting your data profile with ##72786# need msl. If that doesnt work it is probably something on the backend call tech support get them to refresh your sms and data from their end. :banghead:
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
@GalaxyDev
Your problems are very likely caused by "making it work" on different carriers. There must be some settings that are just not correct. As for the radio on the Epic 4g Touch, I agree it is weak. But since the EL29 update and beyond, the radio performance has improved GREATLY and it works as it should now. The Motorola Photon has the BEST radio of any Sprint phone I've ever used. Side by side comparisons proved that to me. The Phonton is a cdma/gsm global device so it's something you might want to consider.

Did you ever think it might not be the phone and maybe the fact that your using it in a different country than it was designed for and on a different carrier than intended?

Need advice pls.

So I have a T-Mobile Samsung gs2 that locked up on me. I took it to T-Mobile store and they refered me to a shops that ended up fixing it for me. I believe they changed the imei number. But when they did this it went back to GB when I originally had the 4.0.4. Now he said he could flash and install update but will charge. So my question is it a regular rooting and flashing which I know I can do myself or is it really something only he can do. I really don't feelfeel paying for something I know I can do myself. Thank you in advance
Gingerbread is what originally comes with the phone, there was an upgrade to ICS later on.
To your question, If its stock, you can just upgrade to ICS through kies (which he's gonna do). No rooting etc necessary, unless you want to later. Do it yourself, he's scamming you!

I thought the same thing but when I did the upgrade through Kies it ended up getting locked again so I had to take it back to the guy. That's when he mentioned rooting and flashing. I told him I could do it but he made it seem like it's something he should do.

Yea after finding out what he they did I looked up what it was to change the imei number, because I never had this problem before, I understand its a bad thing. But I wasn't the one who did it. I was actually surprised T-Mobile told me to take it in to have this done. But what I've learned is mobile can't tell when this is done. So I'm ok with it and besides soon as the note 2 comes out I'm selling the phone. It's unlocked as well so I'll prob sell it to an AT&T user. Thanks for heads up though bro

You could also use ODIN, instead of Kies, to flash the stock recoveries, you just need to look for the files on here!
Edit, found a guide that will help you get back to "fresh" stock, so that you can upgrade to ICS with Kies.

I assumed he was scamming because the OP mention the IMEI number was changed (fishy), and mostly likely flashed a custom or modified gingerbread ROM, that's why Kies won't read the phone. If the repair person brought the phone back to full stock, it should be able to connect no problem, which doesn't look like he did.

yea he did change the imei number. and kies updated just fine. it brough my phone back to 4.0.4 but the problem was that after the update the phone got locked again. im guessing the imei number went back to its original. so my thing is im wondering if i root and flash an updated zip will my phone lock again. from my understanding flashing shouldnt mess with the imei number but thats why i wanted advice from people on this site. im still a nood but was able to learn what i know from this site. thanks again bro
imei
I dont think the imei is a problem.
I had in the past the galaxy and glaxy 4g that had a changed imei (dou to unlocking)
it never gave me any problems.

So after changing imei number you rooted and were able to to flash without a prob? Now is this just a one time flash or multiple?
One can change the IMEI number? that is crazy, this is like changing the VIN number of the car, how is it even possible?

I could be way off here as I have never dealt with the unlock codes. But I was under the impression that the code is different for every phone and is based on the imei. I'm assuming there is some sort of mathmatic formula that's run against the imei to get the code. (That's 100% a guess btw).
I'm also guessing a select few companies/people were given, or figured out on their own, the way to get the code.
If I am wrong or someone knows otherwise, please share. Id actually like to know for sure!
I've heard you can get it for just a few bucks, so it may be worth it to just go that route anyway.

U mention economy in your post. Go get a code on ebay for $8 just like everybody else did and stop moaning since $8 is nothing compared to the hundreds fyou paid for the phone. Also read other threads about unlock code, there are already tons open.

As i said ''what you post didnt sound nice''. As for that ebay guy, i am still waiting an answer from him.... 12h! Of course i wasnt moaning for 8 bucks but i as i mentioned before i am always trying to do it by myself. I cant see whats the problem with you! Since you know about the open posts you should also knew that its kind a mess with none - reliable solution. (i am not sure if i have read everything tho).
I am not going to write about the way you shoud talk or post on a forum. I am pretty sure you wont even understand!

Thats exactly what i think happens as well. However, one can unlock the htc one s for free. The process is like reading a partition on the device thats normally hidden but htc was lazy about how hidden it was.
And i think its the same method for any phone. Its just a matter of how to access said partition. But z3box and like devices have that ability to read the partition. And thats i believe how they generate the code.
