Hey Folks, I am an owner of a new HTC Evo View 4g hoping to find answers to the following questions...
Is there a way to bypass the Sprint Hands Free Activation when you power up Evo View 4g?
Is there a way to cancel the constant sync of nothing? When it is powered on an connected to wifi the "sync" icon shows up, but when I go to Settings>Accounts & Sync, there is nothing checked. So I click on "Cancel Sync" and it stops.
I have S-off, root and CWM recovery, with HBoot 1.13.
Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to know how to disable the hands free activation as well, it is super annoying. My View is bone stock, unrooted.
Bump!
Anyone have any ideas?
Install No Lock - click on No Lock to switch on Locking Disabled - when you next boot up No Lock blows away the Sprint Logo and Activation screen - at least that worked for me
I think you can get rid of the nagging prompt if you can somehow obtain the MSL/SPC code.
If I am thinking this correctly, after you obtain the MSL/SPC code, you need to go into EPST mode (read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146127) then change the phone number to something else...
The hard part is getting the MSL/SPC.
OR you can just sign up for a service, have it activated, then just turn the radio off and cancel the service within 3 days for a full refund.
Done.
No Lock works for me too!
Thanks matthew2582. The No Lock app trick works for me too. For the benefit of others who wan't to try it, i noticed the following caveats: The tablet must be in Airplane mode (yes, wifi still works in airplane mode) and you must turn the tablet off rather than use the restart option.
Love this forum. I looked for solutions on this issue for hours unsuccessfully (well, I found options that involved rooting the tablet, but didn't want to go that route) before finding this.
Does anyone have a link to NO LOCK? I have purchased these as gifts so I want to give them the information on how to remove the activation menu if required.
Also, can this be done from STOCK without ROOTING?
No Lock is free of charge and in the Market here -- https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
And you don't need to do anything in terms of changing any wifi or airplane settings -- just install the app, enable No Lock and you are all set

And I forgot to mention -- no rooting required -- just stock app for stock tablet

Matthew...good news. Thank you! One last question, if you uninstall No Lock, will the Sprint items stay gone?
Nothing is being changed or removed in any way -- No Lock just turns off screen locking and has the coincidental effect of zipping past the Sprint boot screen and their activation screen

I installed No Lock and still get the sprint boot screen and activation, any tips or tricks I'm missing?
I wonder if there is an app in titanium backup you can freeze to get rid of this...

Hrmph, not finding any place that has a phone number to change here.
Has anyone contacted sprint or htc to see if there is anything that can be done to remove the activation? I'm sure there has to be someway to disable it. I mean I'm sure not everyone that's buying them is using them on the sprint network. Maybe if you call HTC they can help out.
Also an easy way to get the MSL is in terminal emulator just type "getprop ril.MSL" (no root required) I'm not sure if it works on the view but I know it works on sprint phones.
Has anyone tried this?

I found that I could disable the sprint activation by disabling the /system/apps/vdmc.apk
I wonder if sprint 3g/4g will still work after this?

Root required?

You can use Titanium Backup and I believe root is required. You can also do it by typing a command into Terminal Emulator. "pm disable /system/app/nameofapk.apk"
I can't use any app with mobile data, except for dolphin browser. But i can't download anything with them. And in apps like whatsup, google maps, google play store etc. it just says no connection. But when i'm connected to wifi i can use them with no problem. I was looking in the settings but i didn't find anything to fix it. Anybody has some idea?
Thank you.
I had something very similar after flashing a new ROM, Im now on leedroid with no problems so It might be the rom you are using?
unrooted stock rom :/ everything is stock
Try going to settings/phone update/update profile and see if updating your profile helps.
I don't have phone update in the settings :S
Sorry....it should be System Updates
It says that I already have the latest version... but everything worked, I don't know why this happened.
could go into phone programming and reset your data profile
##3282#, edit mode, enter your msl number, data profile, menu, restore.
this code doesn't work for me
I have a dumb question probably, but mobile network is checked in wireless and networks settings right ? And the mobile network settings are right, domestic data and voice should both be checked.
If all that is correct then i would take it to or call sprint and let them fix it. Sounds like an error on their side to me since your phone is stock.
Of course the settings are correct, because I can browse internet. And everything has worked until few days ago.. i don't want to bother with factory reset and that stuff, i'll just wait for ics to come.. if then something won't work then i'll contact htc...
If you go to the phone dialpad, ##3282# doesn't work, then something definately is wrong with your phone.

I dont believe qpst is stock on the 3d. Can't remember tbh. Qpst is required to use ## codes.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
QPST does work on stock. Also, since I work for sprint I would recommend just doing a master reset since this is the first thing they will do when you take it in. Yeah it sucks having to set everything back up, but it will probably fix your issue.
I've just resetted APN's and everything works now!
But I still don't understand why was browsing working, and apps wasn't :S

I was just about to suggest that the APN's weren't correct, or to reset them, so maybe an apology to the person you told "Of course all the settings are correct" !?!?
Simple fix anyway, glad it's working.
If you ever have a problem like this in the future, chances are it's a phone issue, then a network issue then a rom issue, but ultimately a human issue.
Resetting the phone can always rule out the rom, trying another sim can rule out the rom, calling your network can rule out the network, i get issues like this on a daily basis, it's 9 /10 human error.
Oh an just a heads up, quite a few people tried to help you here and you said thanks not once?
I was playing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu in CMX and changed my band to Australia. I then lost all connectivity but wifi. I figured I'd just nandroid back to my fully functioning CMX - I was wrong. After restoring the nandroid, the phone still won't connect to anything but wifi.
I then saw this post and flashed meanbean to use the Sense dialer.
None of the instructions worked! When I try to ##786# reset all my data, the phone will do its thing and then boot back up into meanbean and ask me sign in to my accounts.
The DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1 doesn't exist in my build.prop as seen in this post so I can't use the simple method. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only have wifi while I'm at work, so in 5 hours I'll be screwed.
EDIT: Almost fixed it! I nandroided back to CMX and tinkered with some more advanced settings. I figured I can't hurt anything more than I have. It's now connecting to the network and 3G, but says it needs activated. Finally, progress!

Thanks guys, I did get it fixed. Once I got some sort of connection reestablished I needed to activate the phone. I called Sprint customer service from my work phone and they refreshed all my data/connections. That allowed me to connect to the network, but not use it (if that makes any sense). I then downloaded the deodexed stock rooted JB ROM from here. After flashing that and booting into it, it said "hands free activation" and then starting updating the PRL before asking me to set up my accounts.
Hopefully my story helps anyone who gets caught up in this issue.
One more thing, upon reinstalling my cmx nandroid, I checked the build.prop file and it had the DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
I changed it and that's how I got the phone to reconnect to the network (still no use of the signal though at that moment). That's when I flashed to the stock rooted ROM and everything was fine from there.

So I foolishly tried to flash the gt-i9505 miui rom to tinker with it. I added the files that was in the OP on that thread and got it to boot up but didn't get any further than the setup screen. I had also flash Chronic Kernel alongside it because when I didn't add a kernel it wouldn't boot.
Decided I needed to start fresh and I odin'd back to stock recovery w/out root and now my phone is stuck in roaming mode. I cannot activate my phone at all...when it goes to setup wizard it asks me to press 1 to complete activation but I can't pull up the dialpad to press 1 to activate.
Did I screw up my radio on this? I have a replacement coming but I won't get it til Tues I was kinda hoping to fix this myself since Verizon tech couldn't fix it.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm stock vmdk right now.

Download cyanogenmod. Install and Boot without the sim card in. Go to network settings and change from SIM to NV. Reboot with sim in. Your problem is solved.

I wish I would have thought of this sooner before I flashed the new baseband on it It's getting replaced Tues I just wanted to see if I could fix it myself and thought maybe updating the phone to the new build would have worked (it sure didn't) Thanks for the idea and I'll keep this in mind should it happen again (it better not though)
It will definitely happen if you switch between stock and aosp. If you choose one or the other stick with it. I know it's hard but it will save you a lot of headaches.

i'm unfortunately in the same boat here. I was trying to decide between an AOSP and TW rom, screwed up my network connection, and then somehow thought Odin with ME7 update would be a good idea. It sounds like this is just a network settings issue, is there anything that can be done with root and the terminal or some other setting/configuration change?
Please help, thanks in advance for any leads to fix this...
I'm sorry but without a custom rom I doubt you can get to CDMA subscription setting and switch it to the proper value. Look it up maybe someone has a solution that would work with stock.

Meh, after a good debloating workout it's not so bad. It's nice to not worry about a random FC, only downside is just preference for some of those visual mods and themes...who am i kidding, I can't wait until Safestrap is rolling.
So now i'm wondering what mods I can use with factory recovery...anything that isn't a full rom should still work...right? I'm a little worried of messing it up again, but I feel like some of the tweaks out there should be possible while running stock.

Yeah I thought the ME7 update would fix my issue with my phone but it didn't...sadly my replacement phone has wifi and bluetooth problems and all I done was root it (which has NEVER happened to me) Verizon sending me yet again another replacement. Glad to hear you got yours fixed though. Hopefully this thread will help the next person out who ends up with this issue
You can try to deploy 3minit framework but you would have to do it manually since you cannot flash it. If you manage that without breaking it than you should be good without the custom stock rom.

No promises but...
First, root
Then, enable hidden menus
Finally (I'm not sure yet, waiting on someone to get back me about if this was the fix or not) from the dialer type ##RTN# and at the menu tap Reset, then reboot, double check your network settings, and then come back here and verify that it was the rtn menu that fixed the issue so the next guy who comes along knows what to do...
It's kind of ironic how useless official support is, I spent hours on the phone and hours digging through xda to get my fix...support did nothing, xda helped with everything
The Sprint version of the G3 came out of the box with the ZV4 firmware, which is supposed to include the WiFi Calling app and toggle switch in Settings and Quick Settings, but of course there were a few quirks and some of us were left without this feature. No matter how many times you tried to update firmware or factory reset the phone, that app just would not appear.
Turns out after seeing this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/wi-fi-calling-t2827818), I was not the only person having this weird problem. Other issues that went along with this were having the stock LG boot logo and sound for startups and shutdowns instead of the Sprint Spark splash page, plus a missing Sprint Zone icon in the app drawer. During initial provisioning, it's like the phone skipped a step and did about 99% of what it was supposed to do, even installing all the preloaded Sprint bloatware.
Well, the fix is simple but I can't take credit for it. This post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54442210&postcount=28) in the other thread by bitbyter57 led me on the right path. Looks like a few users even returned their devices for new ones, but this is not necessary at all.
All that needs to be done is contact Sprint to get your MSL number via chat or just tell them you are having issues and would like to do the ##RTN# factory reset. Once you are in this menu, go to the "reset" option and input the MSL and confirm the reset. The G3 will reboot a few times and lead you through a full provisioning and setup, and all the missing features will now work.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for showing a way for how to get the MSL. I have been looking all day with no success until I found your post. I now have WiFi calling back along with the boot/shutdown logo. Thanks again.
Doh Rereally?
Thank you for this information.
Do you think with the lollipop update that the wifi calling witll be fixed?
I spent a good amount of time setting my phone up the way I like it. I guess i could reset it, ...is the wifi calling worth it?
Just curious, I had the same problems...no boot etc....I got my G3 about 3 weeks ago.
thanks any help would be appreciated

It's hard to know if Lollipop will fix this bug, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Honestly, if you don't need WiFi Calling because you have a good cell signal everywhere, I wouldn't reset everything and start over. I did mine because I didn't have anything set up yet, so it was easy to just get the process over with in case I ever need WiFi Calling. I did try the feature and it works well, but since then I just leave it turned off.
Thanks a lot : ) worked like a charm
i had to call sprint 3 times before they gave me the msl code, i was suggested 2 other ways of "activating" my device, just be persistent and nice if they dont give it to you right away
Thanks for this fix! @engine95 pointed out this same fix, and now WiFi calling is working great. I work in the lower level of a 5-story building, and my battery would drain by 50% by the end of the day while my radio struggled to find a signal. Now my wife can bug me at work without me having to run upstairs on my breaks! :good:

Try ##72786# first.
If that doesn't work, ##RTN#. but you'll need your MSL for that one.
Thanks, I think the letters threw me off, called sprint since i needed to do the ##RTN#

Is there any other way? Could it be added to a custom rom to flash? I'm worried about loosing the ability to root and this wouldn't be worth that. I had sprint try to set it up for me and they activated it on my account. Did the ##72786 thing now I have the apk file on the phone but it won't install. There are a couple other wifi calling apk files that are there as well. Can you flash an apk file to force it to install?

Wifi calling is in every stock Rom we have. I don't know why it doesn't activate on it own. I've LGFlashtooled a few times and every single time I have had to ##RTN# to get it back.
After that, ever stock Rom has had it working for me when I flashed it.
If you've never activated it, it won't install on any stock Rom either. Unless you ##SCRTN#, which hasn't worked for me, or ##RTN# the flashed ROM.
I wished I could do something about it, but I can't.

Ok, so if I did the ##rtn# and my phone was zv4 to begin with does it revert to zv4 cause I flashed zv6 odex already? Then I can get wifi calling set up and use stump root, install TWRP and restore my backup? I guess I am not sure what those commands will do to the phone. This is crazy, almost too much hassle., kinda ticked off it didn't come ready on the phone.

You're thinking into it to much. Lol
If you already flashed ZV6 from this forum, then you already have root/unlock.
If you don't have wifi calling, then just ##RTN#. But you need your MSL to do it. When you do that it'll reset everything and you'll start from scratch. So you should try ##SCRTN# first and see if that works.
If you update OTA to zv6, then you can not root it. And you'll have to revert back to ZV4.
Edit. Make sure to back up your EFS first!

I tried ##scrtn# a few times and it didn't work. The Sprint rep walked me through it the first time and I played with it a couple more times hoping it would work, but no luck.. I'm rooted zv6 now and backed up my EFS using TWRP. I didn't take the OTA update, I got the zv6 ODEX version in your other post.
So, If I get my MSL and do ##rtn# I worry about that start from scratch thing. Does that mean the phone will be like it was the day I picked it up, before I stump rooted and twrp'ed? Or does it mean it will be like I just flashed your ZV6 rom and had to re-set up the phone the way I like it but I didn't need to re-root or install twrp.. I'm sure I'm thinking way too hard when it's probably really not that difficult, my apologies for being thick headed. :silly: could be cause it's late. Anyway, I'm on duty tomorrow, if we are slow I might get to work on this. Later

Do this to backup/restore EFS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56058409&postcount=1
You can follow this to get your MSL. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54912206&postcount=4 Or call Sprint but they might hassle you.
When you do the reset, you will keep root/unlock. You'll just have to set everything back up. I think, and I might be remembering wrong, but once you have Wifi calling enabled, I think you can restore from a backup and retain Wifi Calling.
If that's was wrong, you'll have wifi callng on the other Roms until you use Flashtool.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Worst case scenario:
Flash any ZV6 Rom
Get through the preliminary setup, then do ##RTN#. It'll reset everything
Good to go.
You can still flash any other Rom, and you'll have Wifi Calling.
