I have several old NOTE 2 (Sprint) phones. No longer used. I want to use them around the house for.. OK no bull ****.. I want to install Verizon Messages + on it and log in to my wife's
Account so I can see her messages. When I install the app on the old phone
It knows I am on a phone e and tries to log in with the old number.
The same app when installed on a tablet, let's you enter the phone number
To use and login with. How can I make the app think it's on a tablet and not
A phone?
Again, the phone is no longer used, just connected on WiFi and I am willing
To root or whatever, not worried about risk of bricking it as I will just
Move on to the next one and try again. I have tried Carrier Wipe and all. Still nothing.
Thanks in advanced. (Also I was thinking maybe something with the build.prop file
But app just force closes)
CyanideL has a tablet version of the ROM.

Root the phone and install Xposed. Afterwards, download a module named App Settings. The module will allow you to change the dpi and resolution of the app into one a tablet uses.
Does she know your intentions, or is this an invasion of privacy?
Reason being, I can't, in good conscience, give you advice on how to spy on your wife.

Hi Guys,
Basically recovering from a broken Ankle, so decided I would fall on it and destory my phone in the process. At the moment I do not have enough money to buy a new screen, if I did this wouldn't be an issue. I need urgently to get access to remotely screen cast the device OR get my text messages backed up as I need some of the numbers ASAP!
The phone is rooted I believe it has the OMEGA rom installed. I cant see anything apart from a couple of lines on the screen and the digitizer isnt properly working so I cant unlock it on lucky guesses!
I have tried to get screen cast to work, got up to the point of restarting the adb as it kept saying offline, now it says unauthorised. So i am pooped with ideas!?! I dont know what my options are now, I can still get into download mode, not sure about the recovery menu as I cant see anything.
Does anyone at all have any ideas? I am ripping my hair out haha! I need this information because the person I am trying to contact owes me enough money to get the screen fixed however I cant get his number, not even through my gmail because for some reason non of my contacts are now synced?!
I may have a possible backup from mybackup or something if it is possible to restore that to the computer? I think some of my contacts and text messages are stored with my samsung account however I cant download that from the website..
Samsung Kies is no good either, as cant connect to that.
I think that is as much info as I can post, if you need anymore to help please let me know. (I will be back online in a few hours, need to calm down and have something to eat!)
Thanks in advance but I understand if nothing can be done, unfortunately due to lack of work and the debt left from the ex, I now have a problem. And I cant claim on insurance as it is rooted.
The reason ADB is saying unauthorized is that there is a warning pop-up on the screen when a computer connects. If you reboot into recovery you might be able to circumvent this.

do you know anyone with an HDMI adapter? you could get a display that way and find a method of your choosing to backup anything you need.
Edit: If you just need numbers try checking your online account with your service provider, you may be able to get some of the numbers that way through recent calls.

Sorry about the late replies guys, had to go away for a few days look after fam member.
I know this, but I cannot authorize it because the screen is broken. What ways do you know of recovering through the Recovery? Download mode can get into, recovery I cant do much from? Without seeing it.

Hmm, A HDMI adapter would that require any settings changed on the phone to enable it, or is that just a plug and play device? Online accounts currently don't have anything stored because sync messed up.
Mods: Can I get this moved to the normal GT-I9505 section Q&A as didn't realise this was T-Mobile and it's unlocked

Recovery should work to get adb working. Then you can pull the mmssms.db file along with it's counterparts and retrieve all your messages that way.

I added the PTT service on my phone not thinking that my device may not yet be compatible with the app from AT&T. I found out the hard way but figured out how to get it going on my device.
1. After adding the service online I got a text a half hour later that it was active on the account.
2. I then rooted my Note 2 on the latest stock 4.3 rom.
3. Downloaded the app: Device Spoofer from the Play Store.
4. Backed up the device's current information in Device Spoofer
5. Changed the device's ID to that of the Galaxy S4 (i.e. sgh-i337)
6. Restart the device.
7.Launch At&t EPTT app and activate.
8. Once activated you can run spoofer again and restore your device's I'D and restart and the app will still work.
Just guessing but I would think this should work on the Note 3 as well. Everyone uses this at work so I thought it was worth looking into.
***EDIT: I used the Helium app to backup the At&t EPTT app and data to my Google Drive account and restored it on my At&t Note 3 and can confirm it works. I did not root my note 3 due to the Knox issues discussed here on XDA, so if anyone has another device that is rooted this is an easy way to get the PTT app working on a non rooted one.***

THANKS!!
This is awesome. Was thinking about trying this with a Nexus 5. Currently stuck with a Rugby Pro and it is BRUTAL. Glad to know there's a way around AT&T's BS.

I have a rooted S3 and used helium to backup and transfer to my new S5 and it doesn't work. It tries to activate and then fails saying i dont have a supported device. I must be doing something wrong?
EDIT: Rooted my S5 and tried your first method and still no dice. Hmmmm this is interesting. If I cant get this figured out I guess I will have to return the phone. Are you using your old sim or the new one that comes with the phone?

It seems that my original method no longer works since they updated the PTT app. I was able to Spoof My Note 1's (sold my Note 2) device ID to that of an S4 and the app activates that way. I was hoping I could back it up again with Helium and Restore to my Note 3 but it tries to reactivate on the Note 3 and detects the current device ID. So at this point I believe my only option is to root my Note 3, spoof the device ID, and activate. Not something I want to do.
I also found that if I enable airplane mode then enable WIFI and you launch the app, after a minute or two it asks if you want to try to activate over WIFI, and then asks to enter an code provided by an administrator. I wonder if ATT would be willing to provide a code to users that already have the feature on the account and want to try the app on a newer device...It's a shot in the dark but couldn't hurt to ask.
EDIT: By ID, I mean model number.

I got it working. The app now looks at the phones model number. I simply changed the model number to that of an S4. It activated right away once i did that. When I go to about device my S5 shows as SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 which is an S4. :good:
Changing the ID appears to screw up NFC until you change it back to the original, at least on my Note 3. Changing back to the original kills the activation. Att seems to have caught on because the app, even the older version now activates on reboot.

Hmmm interesting on the NFC. I dont use it so im not sure how the S5 reacts to the change. The eptt app has been working flawless though and the manager at the store called corporate and they told him they would be updating the app in the near future to support the S5.
How are you doing guys?
I bought an s4 for my son
i want to keep tabs on him because he is a teen and lets say he is not that responsible and trustworthy during these great years of his life
anyways this is what i am trying to do without rooting the phone
i want to be able to lock the stock application manager on the phone
reason being is if i install a location/tracking app to track the phone (hopefully my son is with it) i dont want my son to enter the app manager and mess with the settings or uninstall the app completely
also i would like to be able to remotely disable the wifi, data, and texting capabilities on the phone so he can only call me (or certain emergency numbers) if he decides he wants to be an ass and not answer my calls .
Is there an app i can install on my phone and his phone to do this?
Thanks for the help
It has come that time. my note 2 is getting very little use anymore. But I still have a user for it. But I want to kill the phone completely. And I mean completely, not just airplane mode or remove the apk.
It's only ever going to use WiFi now from time to time. so I want to maximize the shelf life.
Is this possible? Maybe flash an empty IMG over the modem?
Any other way?
Than you for any info..
A bare bones AOSP rom with a minimal gapps package for Google access could work. ..
Then use TIBU to delete all non essential apk's....
Pull the sim and done. ..
No network without a sim...and you should be able to kill the no sim prompt using TIBU as well so the nag screen won't function. ..
Just a few ideas for ya....
But you will need an OS for the chipsets to function and for sat locks and such if you want maps or something similar. ..
Just a few thoughts. ...g
Sadly modern phones still connect to the cell phone network even with out a sim, and still might allow an emergency call. But there should be a way to stop all that.

You can go into the system and delete the phone and contacts apk files.
Also I believe Wanam Xposed and Gravity box Xposed has options to disable the emergency call feature from the home/lock screen.
Edit: when the device has no internet the email used to unlock the phone is useless. The phone should keep the email and pass locally. So don't forget you pin or let anyone enter the wrong thing. I had to factory reset it however it still retained root. Strange? I wasn't able to obtain any data so far. I may try to dig deeper with a recovery program but right now I no longer need use of the device (my son has a new toy, lol).
This is my phone. Before anyone says it's not trust me it is and I can prove it via old cell bills. And that Google still has it attached to the account.
I need back into it for a few very important photos relating to an accident a few months ago.
This model was on the us cellular network. It is not an active phone. (No data). Here is my problem, not being able to connect to data or wifi networks I am locked out because my son played with the 4 digit pin. The phone now asks for my email and password. Of which I know but the phone will not accept it. Thinking that I might have updated my password since I was on the G3 last I have tried all passwords that I know I have used and still nothing. This phone is also rooted. With stock jellybean.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could go back to stock using KDZ. It will reset everything

I'm trying to avoid data loss. As I need the few images off the phone. After I get them off I really don't care what happens to the device.
march 16 per google was the last active date. From then till now it's only been a paperweight because I thought google backed up my images which isn't the case.
Does google keep passwords in a viewable manner in case I forgot one I used?
Edit: google doesn't save passes for viewing unless in your browser saved password section, however I wonder how it knows of a duplicate pass when changing the current one.
