[Q] *2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So i rooted my phone when i got it around Christmas and then uninstalled some garbage i didnt need. But ever since i have not been able to dial *2, as soon as i hit the green phone my phone locks up and reboots.
Anyone have this issue?

You need to install the sprint zone app....I'm guessing you removed it during the bloatware purge!

Dial #2 instead.

I'll have to try that...i DID disable the sprintzone garbage as well. When I type *2, it just fails miserably. Great tip. csmasn - i'll try it soon. Thanks to tkepk181 as well.

where can i get the sprint zone apk?

You can pull the app from the stock Rom and push it to system.
Correct me if I am wrong but that should work.

I grabbed the attached file off my phone (stock rooted LJ7 ROM). Instead of uninstalling bloatware and such use an like AntTek App Manager to "freeze" it. That way you can always "defrost" it later if you decide to put it back on.

Check the epic wiki for a list of the stock .apk's that may help you.

i looked there and didnt see the voicemail one there...
Search XDA for new voicemail .apk you should see it in general section .apk is on second page. I would also reccommend checking the bonsai page add ons. Please search for yourself from now on it only took me 2 mins to find it I read the whole wiki .apk list before I searched.
Google is your home boy for this kinda stuff.
tried reinstalling it and still didnt work, hopefully its just the voicemail server is down or something and will work by tomorrow.

My voicemail is good just downloaded one in fact so I dont think its the servers. (viperrom 4.0.3 EXT4 DK28) Have you tried doing hands free activation again?
(check the wiki for how to) Maybe stop the voicemail service before you uninstall and reinstall. Other than that app2sd and re-flash the rom.

Thought this was just me, but I found a fix that seemed to get it back up and running:
1. Ok, open your voicemail program, it will likely show the "No voicemails" screen.
2. Hit Menu>compose then click in the "To" field at the top to bring up your keyboard.
3. Type this exactly: [email protected]
4. Hit record, then hit stop.
5. Hit send.
Cant take credit for this, I found it on an Evo forum. Took a minute or so for the vm's to show up but they did.
By the way, I am running Nebula 1.07 and was having the same problem...

Yeah i had the same thing happen after i flashed Bonsai and I went crazy blaming the ROM. Ended up just working after a bit on it's own. I never looked into it but i bet it was just issues on sprints network with the VM server. Keep getting E30 and E503 errors. Then they just went away on their own.

Daughters evo 4g is not receiving texts... help

It stopped receiving texts yesterday.She can send them but cant receive. she doesnt have google voice. a couple days ago or a week ago she had to reboot her phone 7 times because it locked up on her. it took 7 times to get it to restart. It is rooted with either a stock rom or just stock and rooted. i didnt do it, so I dont remember. I know it has the crappy camera on it. I was planning on putting miui on it later this month, but if that wont fix it, I will just unroot her phone and have her take it to the store. But from what Ive read it doesnt seem they will do anything? I hate to take a trip up there if it wont fix her issue.
Try a factory reset

give tech support a call before un-rooting and taking it back to the store, it may be something on their end they can handle over the phone. Its worth a try

If you can try flashing sense 1.0 rom. Say Tommytomatoe's or Gruesomewolf' or swagstr's. Then try updating profile and prl.
Sent from my lair.
I did have her update profile and prl and it didnt help any. I think she is going to call sprint tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do. Do any of you know if I put a different rom on it if it will fix it? If her phone is rooted will a factory reset mess it up? she did that on her optimus and it didnt have a compatible recovery and it messed up the phone. we thought it was bricked, but my roommate fixed it.
Factory reset will only erase all data so it won't mess up just have her export contacts to sd, get Sms backup and restore from market to. Save her texts if she wants and use titanium backup pro or mybackuproot to save all her apps and data first so. She can restore everything after the reset since she will lose it all

Since your on a stock rooted Tom try this:
1.get msl reader off the market, its free and write down your msl code
2.dial ##data# select edit mode, it'll ask you for your msl code
3. Tap on your data profile option, hit menu and then choose restore profile.
4. Let it restart and if it doesn't restart restart the phone yourself. Let it reprovision and go through the handsfree activation, after its finished cancel the prl update
5. Let it settle now update profile first prl second, restart the phone after both is done and report back if that worked
PS that's usually what I have to do any time I have texting issues and it usually clears everything up. Plus if you call sprint tech support this is what theyll have you do

Check the memory. She may have to remove some apps. Try that before you get knee deep into unrooting . I had customer per day with similar issues.

gohstly sms in the market works for me =], i had same issue, i would buy pro tho or else youll have to go to the app, every time, a text is missed, its only a dollar..
so she talked to tech support and theres nothing that can be done. theyve tried everything. it wont work. can the store order her one without paying a fee, or is the only other option assurion?

She doesnt want to pay insurance. I talked her through unrooting it, but unrevoked forever son didnt work the two times she tried it, we were running out of time and then we tried the pc36img but her phone doesnt show bootloader option. shes using revolutionary recovery. after we tried all this, now her phone doesnt read her sd card.

I finally have the phone and I did a factory reset, which surprise, did not fix the issue. (being sarcastic) I installed another stock rom and it works just fine. In the meantime she bought an iphone and is very happy with it, so its either going on CL or ebay. has a video docking station and a motorola bluetooth speaker. 16gb card... hope I can get 150 or more for it..

It is avoidable, just disable the notification in the sms app. Either the downloaded one or stock.

Not Receiving Calls or Texts

Hello all,
Recently, I flashed Calkulin's E4GT 2 rom from his E4GT 3.0 one, and things had been working well for a day until it began to randomly crash and stopped notifying me/receiving any missed called/texts. I flashed back to 3.0, saw the same issues reoccur (calls/texts not coming through); reflashed 3.0 and wiped everything and still to no avail.
Data works perfectly, and I am able to send texts as well as call.
Any advice on what to do?
Try this go to settings, about phone, system updates then update profile and PRL then reboot phone and see if that helps.
call sprint (*2), tell them you want to do a DATA REFRESH, works everytime, just make sure you have your ESN ready.

sort of, when people come into my store with this issue i usually do an update of the profile but if that doesn't fix it, i do a data refresh....update profile is like a "soft reset" and data refresh is like a "hard reset", both essentially do the same thing just one is more extreme and complete reprograms the phone.
Okay, so I called Spring and asked them to do a data refresh and also updated the PRL and Profile but to no avail.
Any other ideas? Or should I just unroot and go to Sprint and see if they'll be able to help me?

they wont ask about rooting or anything like that...it wouldnt make a difference anyway because rooting shouldnt have an affect on your programming codes.

I would definitely return it back to stock before bringing it into sprint. I had a problem with my phone a couple months back and had to bring it in. First thing they did was check to see if it was rooted.

Lol I am pretty sure the guy that looked at my phone knew i had rooted it before though because when I odin'd back to stock I did the full wipe and he kept asking me why is there nothing on this phone and lookin at me with a grin I just told em it was acting funny so I thought maybe a factory data reset would fix it.

yeah but on a side note...sprint can truly work on rooted phones, even with custom ROMS. It is just up the store if they want to or not. So next time you take it in and they say they cant work on rooted phones, its law that they have to...(unless your ROM is the reason for the issue) ha

Thanks to everyone for their help; ended up going to the store today and they ran a diagnostics test and reset everything. They said they had some towers down as well, so that may have added onto the problems.
Once again, thanks to all!

[Q] did sprint fu** my phone over?

ok well took my phone to sprint store because i was having a rattling sound in it when u would do like a quick jerk or movement with it...
well they did what ever it was they wanted to i guess and brought it back out to me no more rattle ...
left their and on my way back home I noticed that the background wasnt the same on my lockscreen so i started going through the phone and c they have flashed my phone back to stock...
Ok still no biggie i can just root it and unlock it again well i go to use the play store it says network unavailable..
well i go to network settings and do the usuall checking and making sure roaming and data and all that is on wich it was but the roaming...
I go to see n make sure im still on sprint maybe thats y its no data... whell guess what its not it says chameleon...
whell what the hell is the first thing that comes out my mouth and laughing.. gf says what so funny i said look my phone says im on a chameleon n we both busted out laughing in the store...
well i got home and still no data so i called sprint and we went through the normal trouble shooting and phone restoring procedure..
Those procedires didnt get data to work either so they had me do a ##SCRTN# and after restart they had me do a manual programing, wich still didnt get data to work.
So last thing that they had me do was ##RTN# and once again did manual programming,and of course still no go no data..
After the "advanced tech support guy" came back on the phone he started urgently repeating and emphisizing take the phone the store or where it was i purchased it at.... so monday i gotta call and get a new phone shipped to me since this one is only a week old...
IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN,AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO IT ?
I wouldn't worry about it too much if they're giving you a new phone.. but the whole situation sounds pretty shady..

whats shady me, or what?
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Confirmed working in both ZV9 and ZVB.
From autoprime
Or just lgnpst to zv9 then do a ota to zvb
Oh and on my old galaxy s 2 when sprint was finishing they forgot to plug in the lcd power *sigh*...
Ive went all the way back to zv7 and worked back up to latest. Its no longer saying chameleon as its net work ... it back to sprint and im able to talk n text sms.... still havent figured out the data side of things,any suggestions or input?

Hmm try flashing a rom sometimes the baseband loves to **** me over as well
If that doesnt work hop on irc and ask
Hmm, maybe this has been my problem the whole time. I've had my OG since earlier this year and it has always listed "Chameleon" as the network but I never thought anything about it. My issue though, is even though I am in a high 4G coverage zone, I rarely get 4G. I can force it to connect to 4G (using an app I found) and it will connect with full bars, but it will drop back to 3G in like 5 minutes.
I'll have to try the fix rockh11 posted. Does the phone need to be rooted to run that fix?

Lgnpst I think so unlock the bootloader and root it just to be on the safe side
Nova launcher no need for root i think
prl and profile no.
Try doing prl/profile updates via wifi. Alternatively, just wait. I've seen sprint take 2-3 days before data will come back after a reset. I had one blow up when traveling and support convinced me I would have to take it back once I returned to town. Woke up 2 days later an everything was working fine.

No 4G/3G

Ugh! So where do I begin.. First of all I am running the MOAR most updated version in the OP. Have been for a while. Haven't been able to update PRL/Profile in I don't how long. So I like to here and there to make sure all is well. Anyway today I started messing with it and I used some secret code I found in the MOAR thread for hands free activation. Well, that went south since I am unable to update PRL/Profile. Then I called Sprint and she got the hands free activation off. I was still unable to update PRL/Profile after that. I went ahead and downloaded the latest MOAR and wiped EVERYTHING!! Then flashed the MOAR. I am not sure exactly when the 4G/3G problems started to happen. I am thinking before I flashed the ROM again. But anyway in a nutshell I I can not still update PRL/Profile. Gives me internal error and now I have no 4G/3G. Sprint wanted me to call them on another phone and I assume to deactivate my phone and reactivate it or something idk. I remember one time my sister had this issue and I was in the phone 5 minutes and it was back. IDK why I am having such a issue.
I had the same issue on my first flasb. Forcing hands-free activation fixed it
##72786# in the dialer
EDIT: Make sure you're connected to wifi when you do it.

Right. That did fix it although after I still was unable to update PRL/Profile. But right now I am having an issue with no 3G/4G. Sprint said it could be a hardware issue with my antenna which I find hard to believe. I am downloading another ROM now and see if that works any better. Not sure what else to do. I don't have 50$ and I am not trying to pay for it. I find it hard to believe that my antenna is just not working. Although I was on the phone with her for 50 minutes and it seemed like we tried everything I just don't want to give up.
Odin back to full stock... Usually clears up lots of issues. You can reroot and flash moar again.

Is odin back to stock difficult? I would think it would be easy since to root is fairly simple. I am going to keep downloading this ROM. Then go back to stock and see if that works.
EDIT: So on my second call to Sprint today this guy said I need Sprint Zone and I need to activate my phone. Having our phones rooted I did not have this app. Thankfully I seen it posted so I put it in my DB and installed it and it installed but the app was no where to be found. I even flashed the app pack and installed it same issue. Then I called Sprint two more times just to come to the conclusion that my phone antenna could be defected. Which would cost me 50$. Anyway, I thought it was something else I could do. Sitting here downloading a ROM on my phone and on my laptop going to thread to thread. Hangout convo to hangout convo I see the status of the download. Well what do you know Sprint Zone is updating. So I updated it and it opened. Said my phone was not activated. So I activated it, phone restarted and I have 4G LTE and I went to the browser and it works. Finally caught a break. Thanks guys!! @edfunkycold @CNexus
