you can't deactivate it unless he does it though his sprint account.
if you don't want to use the radio, then i suggest airplane mode, as you would disable it, as well as have wonderful battery life.

If you have all the correct info, you can port the number out.

What do you mean port the number out?

And if he didn't pay his bill you're out of luck.

It's you walked in a Sprint store and said this I'd ponder if you stole the phone. Not saying you did but it's one possible way Sprint would look at it.

[Q] i lost the back to my phone

The original back that is. I still have my extended battery back, but the original one is lost forever. Will sprint replace it?
really?
Sprint is not going to replace something that you lost, without paying tep. Maybe if you found a nice rep that might give you a used one. I just did a search on ebay http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ep...id=1&_localstpos=&_sc=1&_sop=15&_stpos=&gbr=1 you can get a replacment for
$7. Ï just spent 30 sec on that im sure you can find cheaper if you look, you might also find a cheaper one if you spend more itme.
hope this helps

Free Sprint Airave

Lastweek when I got my Siii - I called Sprint customer service line and just ask if they would send me an Airave. I did not threaten to cancel or anything as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192.
The rep checked availability and shipped
In checking the the tracking number looks like it's sitting on my porch.
The rep said no charge, no changes to my service plan, no lease or anything. If I cancel my service I must send the device back. But while a customer I can use it free of charge.
:good:
I didn't even call they are giving them away like hotcakes now. I just used the sprint chat on their website.

Don't think Verizon needs to. They have awesome coverage (well in my area) unlike ****ty sprint. Can't even get 3g outside of my house I have to use the stupid air rave. Sorry for my language just blowing off some steam I have with sprint lol.

Lol. At home I have to rely on my Airave. It's that bad. Verizon and ATT phones work flawlessly.
I'm thinking of switching to Verizon or at&t. I've grown tired of this terrible coverage I have in my area.

I have 2 Airrave's on my account. 1 was free from Sprint. The other I bought off Ebay for like $60. Both are life savers. Wish Sprint would get it together already...
The number listed in the OP you reference is no longer in service. LOL!
New number is 1 866-866-7509
Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!

[urgent] need new mother board..........

Went to care as I am not getting an signal.......they said your board has Been dead.they told me this by checking IMEI being none empty.they said it costs 4000 any suggestions thanks.....
From my awsm Galaxy 3.....
If the problem is just the IMEI you could try to follow the tutorials that let you recover your lost IMEI even in worst conditions. The IMEI is a serial code that is necessary to identificate your phone in the phone network and it's stored in /efs partitition that sometimes get corrupted usually after flash, updates etc...

Samsung seems to killing existing users budget
Vodafone is selling this phone for 4500
and Samsung care wants 4000 for motherboard itself
So if it would be me, I would either upgrade my phone if budget allows or atleast buy another G3 from vodafone @ 4500 INR
Wait Vodafone is still selling this device!? Damn. I thought they speed making them

[Q] Has anyone tried this root method?

I came across this when searching for G4 root. https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-lg-g4/
Has anyone tried this? If not, is there any harm in giving it a shot?
Spam. You'll see root here on XDA before some news article.
Pretty sure that app will tell you the device is not supported once you installed it and all of its malware. I would recommend to run that app in a VM environment and prepare to delete it.
I wouldn't even try it. There is no root for the G4 yet.
Thanks for the advice. I assumed that I'd see it here first when it happened.

Lame. Funny because it says it RIGHT on their front website that it has root. Marketing scheme.
Paid by the click. Genius I say. Lol

Best advice is stick with xda as they are the number 1 trusted site on my list i check the post and google everyday, so far no root. To let u know you may hear or read that there is a root method by jcase. But its not out because he and whoever is a dev working on root is making it safe for us so we dont brick our phones easy. It is really hard as i used to root the old way and boy it was a pain on the htc evo 4g. Just keep checking xda and later u will see root
