[Q] Two Flashed S3 questions. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I've got two questions and I can't seem to figure out what search terms to use to find the answers.
Question 1)
I'm looking at a Sprint S3 that someone else is selling that's already flashed to Page Plus with their phone number.
I'm wondering what is required (if my daughter buys it) to change it over to my daughter's phone number without losing the picture messaging that he says works on his? I'm asking this because....
Question 2)
Picture message doesn't work on the Sprint S3 that I own that is also flashed to Page Plus. (I paid a senior member on here to do it, and everything else works fine. But if I try to send or download picture messages, it just tries and tries and tries until it times out, even when WiFi is turned off.) I've googled all over the place trying to figure out how to get it to work, but everything I find is either old info (so I don't know if it will work) or it doesn't work at all (like VZ app or 8sms that work for some people) or else I haven't the faintest idea what they're saying to do.
How can I figure out which of the multitude of instructions out there is the solution for MY Sprint S3. Is it the version of android that matters? The date the phone was purchased? The method that was used to root and flash? Something else?

page plus
change your donor phone.whichever phone your s3 is cloned to must b changed.mms was decommissioned on a bunch of phoes.

Hi. Just an FYI although this probably isn't the cause in this case.
I've had it happen that if an MMS failed to send, that all MMS would fail until all failed ones were deleted.

MIKEY309, I had no donor phone. It's not required for S3s.
My daughter wound up buying an S3 from somebody else who flashed it for us... we'll see if photo texting works.
roirraW "edor" ehT, I'll try that.

Maybe no donor phone but you need donor numbers,the keys which make your s3 operate came from somewhere.if that particular model phone that your keys came from was decommissioned by sprint,no mms

Thin line ONLY during lockout screen?!

Hey Fellas, i just wanna start by saying yes i've read the previous posts about some people having the "thin line" across their screen but my situation is very unique to theirs.
And as well, this is -- as far as i know the first problem with the Epics, mine at least ..
Ill provide the pictures at the bottom,, i tryed my best to capture them (its a webcam lol).
Any help would be appreciated it ..
Running Absolut's stock deodex'd with bubbys kernel .. This morning i was about to revert back to completely stock to see if that changes it but i just wanted to take it easy until the good ol'e folks here at XDA help me out.

http://i56.tinypic.com/289hpuf.jpg (after lockout, as you can see it dissappears)
I've also done the LCD tests, and i have NO line during any of the red or blue or white images, very strange indeed.

I...have no idea. My immediate thought is that if it disappears then screw it lol, it only occurs during lockout. I did not have this problem when I was testing my rom out, but I'll re-flash it in a little while and try to re-create your problem.
---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
Well i was able to re-create the problem on my rom.
Then I nandroided back to pure stock (even erased root...back to nothing lol).
Low and behold here it is again.
Got a screenie from my nandroid backup (which is untainted stock + blownco's honeycomb battery mod + crt).

Glad to know this isn't a problem with my rom, it's a problem with stock in general. I haven't the faintest idea how to fix it though, sorry
There's always a chance it was supposed to be there, like a way to separate the time, etc part from the lock pattern part. So it could be intentional. Sorry I couldn't be of any further help.
No problem, so far we got about 4-5 people able to confirm this, so this IS "problem" embedded into the phone itself ..
relieved to know it wasnt caused by myself!

[REQ/Q] Swipe Glass Unlock Feature

Saw the swipe glass to unlock feature on ex-friends Infuse and I was wondering if there is any way to get it on the Samsung Galaxy S II T989? I'm pretty sure it's just an older TouchWiz feature since his phone was running Gingerbread. Just wondering if there's a tweak anywhere around her to get it.
Sorry about the noob question, coming from an HTC Evo 3D so I'm kinda new over here.
Anyone got an answer for me?

The feature you are speaking about is the Sweep2wake feature. Its available on a limited number of ROM's. If memory serves me correctly, its not avail on TW but AOKP roms might have it integrated into the ROM or Kernel. Check that out.
I know what you're talking about, but what I'm talking about is different. It's an actual lockscreen that's on some Samsung phones. When unlocking the phone, it looks like you're sliding the whole lockscreen away, another feature it includes is if you receive a text or have a missed call, it shows up as puzzle pieces.

MIUI has lockscreens which are similar.
I know, I've used a MIUI rom before. I'm just wondering what version of touchwiz that lockscreen was on or if there's anyway to get it.

try and see if you can install a GB based touchwiz rom, it MIGHT have it. But to be honest, a lockscreen is not worth having to deal with GB.

Yeah that makes sense, like I said, it was on an Infuse, so I'm pretty sure the infuse being an older phone, it would have it. But I like my jellybean tw 2.0 so I'm just gonna count it as a loss. Thank you very much.

ESN wrong, yet correct? Swap troubles flashing S3 to Boost, help please.

Apologies for the length of this post, just trying to put everything in order and not miss anything.
I have an old Boost Mobile 'Pay As You Go' account that is no longer offered, which has extremely cheap (35 cents/day) unlimited 3G data. The account is tied to a donor Sanyo Incognito, that is, that is the phone listed on the account.
Using some guides a couple years ago, I changed the ESN and MEID of my original Galaxy S (Epic 4G) to identify itself as the donor Incognito. This worked fine. Later, since I wanted a newer phone and would be using the phone (to talk) a lot for several months, I got a Boost Mobile S3, and it had its own account. Now, I've suspended that account, but want to move my old PAYGO account to the S3. I looked up some guides, and after finding my MSL and downgrading the modem to LG2, I put the phone into diag mode and used EFS Explorer to modify two EFS items, 0 and 1943, per this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263248&page=5 Due to the age of the thread (disregard the last post in it), I can't reliably ask for help.
I followed the instructions, and got an error message when trying to enable mobile data, something about needing to insert a SIM card. However, 3G data worked fine, despite there being no 3G icon in the status bar. Some further reading suggested that I downgrade and unroot back to stock. I found the oldest ROM I could, about 4 versions prior to the 4.4.2 update. I used Odin to install it, factory restored, and upgraded 1 by 1 to the latest ROM.
Now, there is more error about needing a SIM card, and I do get a 3G icon and working data - However, there are still other issues.
Whenever I reboot the phone, I get a brief "Preparing Network" line in the status bar. It goes away within seconds.
Also, when I enter ##DATA# (##3282#) and click View, then Advanced, in the list the results, the first 2 items are MEID and ESN. In the MEID entry, it has my hex and dec MEID, both correct. In the ESN entry, it has the hex and dec ESN, both wrong, still the S3's original values. When I did this on my 1st S1, it automatically derived the ESN from the MEID, no idea why the S3 isn't.
Are these errors likely to cause issues? If so, how can I fix them?
Hi! Long, maybe, but completely pertinent and easily understood, so bravo to you! ☺
I can only address the "Preparing Network" notification, although I've never used the S3 with any ROM older than MD4. But I do remember that before ND8, the phone would annoyingly present that message whenever enabling internet by any means (WIFI or mobile data).
I'm SO glad it doesn't do that any more, FYI!

[Q] Whats Some Good Roms for My Sprint S3

Hey guys,
I have a couple of questions,
1. What are some of the best roms for my Sprint s3, im curruntly running Stock kitkiat 4.4.2 rooted. I have tried Pac Rom but i find it over heats my phone for whatever reason, Ive also tried Vanir, hellfire, Cynoginmod( also Nightly), Im trying to find one that wont over heat my phone and also one that i can remove the data bars on top basically make my phone wifi only,
2. Is there any way to possible get Flash player working on kit kat 4.4.2 on my s3 i read some things about different ways.
3. Is there any other good Cracked App stores other then Aptoide, Blackmart, appcake. Or is there a hacked version of google play store where all aps or in app purchases are free besides using freedom since freedom is not legal in our country. i already use Freedom with market unlocker to be able to use freedom. I miss my iphone for this reason because it was so easy to find awesome cracked app store or free in app purchases apps,
4. Is there a way to easily Flash my phone to another career like something i can flash to do it for me something like what iPhone had which was called sam Prefs.

I just updated my T-Mobile Tab s4 to Pie. I was hoping the Tab S5e message and calling feature would come to this tablet. Well, it did, but is blocked. It is baked into the Pie update and alive on the tablet (see screenshot), i just cannot access it. Any savvy geniuses out there want to get this figured out?
Any luck?
Could you flash an international ROM possibly? I'm not sure exactly what would be compatible or not.
I have a SMT835N and recently tried a Sprint ROM and Phone ability was removed. I am wondering if the same limitation is applied across US carriers and if that limitation is not present in international versions.
Hi. Your post doesn't show any screenshot. How do I get there? I have the Wi-Fi version.

Call and message continuity (as far as I know) didn't get added to the S4. Maybe for the LTE versions, but my US wifi model doesn't even have the option. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
I'm not seeing it on my T-Mobile S4 at all...
My UK Wifi Tab S4 got Continuity with the Pie update, but I was only able to use it when my S10+ received an update this week.
Screenshots?
My tab s4 does not have call option with any update
I found something potentially interesting. I'm not sure about the inner workings of Call and Message Continuity, but it seems like it might be an apk? There is an app with that name on apkmirror. I downloaded and tried to install it but it just says install failed..... If that's all that's needed maybe it needs to be a system app?
