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.

Switching from 3G to 4G (airplane mode toggle)

I've been using a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 in Chicago since Thursday.
Last night I was in an area where I thought there should be 4G but was only getting 3G. I did an airplane mode toggle and when it came back on I connected to 4G. There have been other times that I was on 3G and did switch to 4G automatically but there have been a lot of times that I seem stuck on 3G for awhile.
Is this likely b/c I'm still getting a weak 4G signal and as it gets stronger the automatic switchover should be more frequent (or else I would just always be on 4G) or could this be signs of a similar bug that's plagued the EVO LTE?
Anybody else finding they need to toggle airplane mode to connect to LTE?

No LTE in my area so I unfortunately cant confirm or deny this issue.

I have a few LTE spots in my market and my phone picked up the signal each time I drive by them.

99% of the time I stay locked on to 4g in my area. Nothing like my Evo 4g LTE which I had to trick into locking onto LTE with *#*#4636#*#* or whatever it was. This thing is much more LTE reliable.

Op try switching roam mode to home (sprint only). This have worked real well for me.

Thanks, I'll give this a try.
--Edit--
Just to confirm you are telling me to change Roaming Network from Automatic to Home Only. Is that correct?

The phone will drop to 3G to conserve battery when data is not in use. I believe there's a way to force HSPA only, you're going to have to search for it. Your phone and its radio firmware are fine though.

Currently on giffgaff and was thinking about switching to Three to take advantage of DC-HSDPA and eventually 4G, but it's worrying if the data connection is that flakey.
Sorry I can't offer any help but will be keeping a close eye on this thread and hopefully will give some insight about the Three network. The lack of 2G fallback for calls also bothers me.

I understand it will drop when not in use but this is when I'm on a website browsing it will drop and If I click a link it won't do anything it's weird

4.1.1 7105 on t-mobile does not do that, works fine.

I'm having okay data connection using the modem in your screenshot. N7105 on Three.
3G H H+ all working fine but there are some dark spots where I can't get data even with H+ on full strength.

Straight Talk

Can the htc one be used on straight talk? Im seeing they have much lower prices and am thinking about looking into it. Does anyone do it? What are the advantages or disadvantages?

It'd be best to grab a T-Mobile, at&t, or unlocked one tbh. Verizon would be much more of a pain in the butt to get working with straight talk.

Why is that? From what I have read straight talk uses Verizon networks.

http://dealnews.com/features/Lets-Discuss-Is-Walmarts-Straight-Talk-Wireless-Service-Any-Good-/669205.html This article should clear some stuff up for you. Honestly I think T-Mobile's $30/month is the best deal going around, but to each his own.

If you go to the straighttalk site they have a compatibility checker. http://www.byopfinder.com/byopfinder/straighttalk/index.html?fullscreen=true You just put in the phones esn and your zip code. When i put mine in it said it was compatible on either the at&t or t-mobile networks (gsm).

Straighttalk is great untill it gets twords the end of the month. Then it seems like they do some major data throttling. If your not to concerned with data speed, its a great deal. Call wise its excelent, at least in my area. I have an LG Optimus Showtime thru straighttalk from my job, but it is cdma and uses verizons towers.

Thanks I will read up on it. I would love to switch to T-Mobile or some other carrier,problem is I live in a very rural area and Verizon is the only option that has decent coverage out here.

LTE Icon?

I've got the international variant and am enjoying it, save for the BL unlock malarkey surrounding non EU variants. I'm currently on T-Mobile, and I know for a fact that I'm getting LTE speeds, as is provided in the screenshot, but the icon simply shows 4G.
It doesn't bother me much at all, but I do like the way the LTE shows on the U.S. models (I think they're U.S. models). Has anyone with an H815 been able to get it to show LTE rather than just 4G? Sure would be nice if we get something like tweakbox like the G3 had to modify whatever we wanted! But alas, I don't think a stable version of xposed will be out for our devices for a long time.

I think you've misunderstood, I know I'm getting LTE already. I've setup the APN and whatnot already, I'm simply trying to get the LTE icon to show the way it does on the U.S. variants. I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if there was some way it could be accomplished on the H815.
For instance, this G4 clearly has superior looking icons on the status bar, including "LTE" on top.

I'm pushing this up as I have the same issue with an h818p.
Any solutions NOW?
