[Q] Viber for android not working on Wildfier S

Hi Guys did any one have the chance to run Viber for Android on the Wildfire S?
If so please tell me how.
Works fine on mine, installed just like any other app from the market.
I did the same download from market and install it but it can not continue for activation it cant receive the activation code threw SMS and the other solution from the site did not work any one know what to do knowing that it was successful to get the program working on the sensation.
Problem solved and it was related to service provider not the Wildfire S it was due to moving from one service provider to another one with the same phone number
Mine's OK.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e from somewhere in Pluto.
it might be the huge blue letters that are keeping it from working. IDK

MAC address change on Xperia Play

Hi guys,
I opened this new thread because I already tried the search tool, even the google search, but nothing came up for the Xperia Play.
My question is, is there a way to change the wi-fi MAC address on the Xperia Play?, the reason I want to do that is because I think somebody at my job blacklisted my device from the wi-fi... some co-workers can get into the wifi network while some of us don't.
All our phones detects the WIFI network, all of us have the password (ok somebody smuggled it for us heheh )
A month ago I was able to do so, and no problem whatsoever, then it just started to get stuck while obtaining the IP address, then, disconnects from the network and get into an infinite loop not being able to sign into the network, while my desk neighbor not so-smart phone (samsung marvel) keep getting connected using the same password, so my first thought was it was only blocking smart-phones by MAC prefixes or android signature ... whatever
But yesterday another co-worker brought his just purchased Samsung Galaxy PRO (which looks like a Blackberry, but running android ), and to my surprise he did got into the wifi network without any issue (using the same password I use and gave him for trial), so I'm now pretty sure they blacklisted by MAC address
Well I manage to convince my buddy to share the network via tethering as a work around, and IT WORKED.
Anyone have an idea if what I'm thinkind is possible (being MAC blacklisted) and also if there's a way to change it on my PLAY runnin Gingerbread 2.3.3 un-rooted with stock SE SW.?
Thanks
I'm not at the pc now. Search my posts for bluetooth address with references to pocketnow tutorial for different device. Maybe you can make it work on xplay. I got one step closer locating one of the address files in one of the posts but no further. Don't know if you can do it without root.

Can't Sign in to Windows Marketplace account

Hi everyone!
I'm not a new visitor here but posting for the first time.
Recently I got my hands on Nokia Lumia 710. I updated it to WM 7.8 and it was great. Kept using it for few days until I needed to capture my screen on Lumia 710 but I couldn't find any program/feature. I felt really disappointed. But today I gathered some nerve to unlock my device and did it successfully using Nokia Lumia 710 - A Layman's guide to install CUSTOM ROM posted by psquicker.
I successfully unlocked my device and can now use several different features.
Unfortunately came up with the problem that I cannot sign in to my Windows Marketplace account with my Windows Live ID. Can't even sign in to my Windows Live/Hotmail account under Email Accounts settings.
Error it shows, says:
Activation failed
We were trying to activate your phone without troubling you about it, but something went wrong, so we need some more information before we can continue. Tap Close and we'll explain.
When I click Close, it asks me to call Support.
The same error appears anywhere I try to sign in.
Note that I was using all the Windows services normally before unlocking the device.
Screenshots are attached.
Help will be appreciated.

[Q] Nexus 7 2013 with LTE and 4G

I have got the Nexus 7 2013 with LTE. I have inserted a SIM with full support for voice calls and SMS etc. However there is no default dialer application on the Nexus 7 and there is no link to dial or send SMS from the "Contacts" application.
I have read a bit and it seems that the problem is that the stock operating system and default configuration that is installed on this tablet does not see it as a "phone".
Is there a way to use this tablet as a phone with full support for phone dialer and SMS and is there a way to do this in the least invasive way so that I can return it to the shop if it does not work ?
Thanks
It seems there is a whole other thread discussing this issue.

No, this is standard Nexus 7 2013 LTE from the shop. I have done NOTHING to it so far.
I have installed a few "dialer" and "SMS" applications, but there is no way I can make a voice call or send an SMS. When these applications try to make a voice call there is an error message "voice calling not supported" or "voice calling not allowed" or something similar.
There is another thread here in these forums where a few guys have tried make it dial but no luck so far.
You need a room installed with a native dialer built-in. I'm sure there are other ways but this is the easiest. I have Cm 11 4.4.2 rom installed on my nexus 7 lte and I'm able to make phone calls.
First off, do you want your tablet rooted? It's the only way I know of to allow you to make calls. If so, there's an easy way to unlock your bootloader, root, and install a recovery. But you must do this first in order for it to make calls. You can install dialers all day long but they won't do a damn thing if you're not running the correct software. Again, I'm sure there are other ways but this one is about as easy as it gets and I know it works.
Have you ever rooted a device before? If not, it's not that hard but you must follow the steps carefully. Just let me know what you wanna do and we'll go from there. I don't wanna spend the time explaining everything if you're not interested! Lol..

Are you saying that you have got the Nexus 7 2013 model to make ordinary voice calls? yes I am very , very interested.
So far I have tinkered with my other Android phone, I have "flushed" a new ROM on it, there is a Windows application that connects to the phone and then you can format it and then download a new ROM to it. The trickiest part was to get the USB device drivers to work right, Windows is a bit tempermental.
Given proper instructions I think I will be able to flush some other ROM onto the Nexus 7, if such a ROM already exists.
But first I would like to know that we are talking about the same thing: Nexus 7, 2013 model, with LTE. And we are talking about making and receiving normal phonecalls and SMS, using a phone's SIM - for example when someone dials my number it should ring and be able to answer the call on the NExus, like on an ordinary phone. I am *NOT* talking about making voice calls over the internet, like Viber or Skype or anything.
Edit: It seems you already said you have the Nexus 7 LTE - I presume this means Nexus 7 2013 LTE, the newest model.
I am looking forward to instructions on how to do this and be able to use my Nexus as an oversized phone!

Unfortunately not. The quick summary is that out of the box the Nexus 7 2013 LTE does not have a "messaging" application or a "dialer" application, so you cannot send SMSs and you cannot make phonecalls. You can however receive SMS messages, they flash on your screen and all you can do is acknoweldge them, but there is no history, nothing.
If you download and install CM 11 or better they have enabled SMS so you have the default android SMS application and you can send and receive standard SMS messages. I was unable however to send MMS.
You can also enable SMS by doing some other tricks, modifying some framework configuration files. In both cases you need to mess with the bootloader, the recovery and so on.
The main point however is that there is no possibility so far for making or receiving phone calls. Therefore the ability to send/receive SMS is vastly irrelevant : who in their right mind sacrifices a working SIM into the Nexus just for SMS messaging? Until I can make and receice phone calls, my SIM will stay in my phone!

thx for your fast answer. im interested in buying the nexus 2013 but not sure wether the wifi or lte version. Too bad you cant phone with it
Actually I would steer clear. There are thousands of posts in various forums about the defective screen. I am 99% convinced it is bad hardware design and not random bad tablets. There are two huge issues:
1) I believe ALL the tablets have grounding issues so that the screen does not register touches properly, ie it misses touches, or it "clicks" in a different place to where you clicked etc. This happens when the tablet is not connected to the USB and when it is resting on a surface. For example this morning I was in bed and had the tablet next to me and tried to reply to a post, and I realised I had to press on each letter two or three times before it would register, it was because of this problem. This is not a "once in a thousand" miss-click issue, this is guaranteed to happen unless the tablet is held in your hands, in which case you are the "earth", or it is plugged in!
2) From Amazon reviews it seems the screen matrix is very fragile and very susceptible to tiny cracks, almost invinsible, however when it happens the screen then stops registering touches and you must replace it. It has happened to many people who claim they have not dropped it and have not mis-handled it in any way.
So I am returning mine today and will wait for a quality product like a Samsung to come to the market. In the meantime the Samsung Note 3 is smaller at 5.6", but it does have the HD resolution 1920x1080 and it is a phone!!! and it does not suffer silly quality issues like this.

Hi,
I understood from your post that's possible to make GSM calls from Nexus 7 2013 LTE. If so, could you tell me the exact version of CM 11? I'm asking this because I can't make calls from my CM 11 4.4.4 snapshoot version.
Thanks for your time, Sasho.

Firstly making a phone call needs hardware support. They provided the SIM slot so that you could use the LTE / 4G / 3G / 2G data plan and not for making calls. (This is because the entire development team did not like using WiFi :cyclops: and thus used a second SIM card for data usage )
Anyways, now no matter which software you install, there will not be any voice calling (except Skype / Viber) for sure!
Such a waste!

It's actually not quite that clear cut. Most 3G/4G (LTE) tablets have all of the hardware required to make it happen today. There have even been reports of some folks getting SMS working on certain tablets, and at least on Verizon, it's known that they block SMS/MMS and voice on tablets specifically. There just isn't that much difference between a Samsung Galaxy Tab and a Mega, for instance, except that the Tab is considered a tablet and the Mega a phone. The N7 uses a different chipset, but that chipset is also used in phones...
When VoLTE finally becomes a thing, this will get a lot more interesting. While tablets technically have the hardware to place calls and texts now, once we get VoLTE support, it's going to be a lot more obvious that it's a carrier issue.
nexus7 sms app
Hi,
I was able to make an app that can send SMS from stock android on Nexus tablets that have a SIM (still can't receive though).
No luck with GSM/USSD yet though.
I'm not able to post the Play Store link, but you can find it if you search for "Nexus7 SMS"
