[Q] My phone says its from Sprint? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says my Droid Eris currently running Cyanogen Mod (Vanilla the 14)
At the lock screen it says Sprint while I'm with Verizon.
Will it affect my plan in any way or is it something to just ignore and If so...
please tell me how to get the Verizon Wireless Thing back.

It is not a problem. It is just a label in the eri.xml file. Search the forums, its an easy fix.

Straight talk phone modifications

A buddy of mine bought a straight talk optimus q and asked me to root it and all of the cool stuff so i did.
He had a question of since the phone grabs signals off of the sprint towers, is there a way to modify the system properties to tell the phone to grab signal off of other towers like verizon and ATT?
I didnt know the answer to this.
Anyone got an answer?

[Q] Verizon Apps

Has anyone figured out the Verizon Apps (i.e. My Verizon, NFL Mobile, etc.) dilemma yet? I'd like to pay my phone bill with #PMT, but it doesn't dial anymore; it just attempts to load the My Verizon app...
And when football starts up again, I liked the red zone on my phone.

How to get ics update on lg lucid

Hi everyone have the Verizon lg lucid 4G lte and they recently updated the Os to ics from 2.3.6. It said online to go to about phone under settings and check for update every time I do this it checks and says error. Now my lucid isn't actually activated by Verizon anymore but was at one point and I'm not sure if that is the reason why. If some one anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Have a look here
I did the check for update and it doesn't find one and just says unable and error but I know there is. Software update for this model clearly do you think it won't work because I don't actually have a plan with Verizon my device is pretty much a wifi device right now or does that have nothing to do with it?

Tether

Does anyone know if there's something I can delete in titanium backup to get unlimited tethering? I know on my old Samsung's there was something and I don't want to just go around deleting random things

Does your plan include tethering ? If so you don't need to delete anything..which I think most higher plans do now

I was grandfathered in to the unlimited plan. I do not have tethering. I relied on custom rims basically to get rid of the tether block

Devs doing roms here should know how to enable tethering, I have it enabled on mine but unless on custom rom and rooted doesnt help much...Knoxraid just released a rom, see if its unlocked on his...but to answer your question no its not something you can just delete and itll work....sorry...

On the Droid razr (vzw) I used a sql editor to open settings.db and there was an option called entitlement check, and I had to change that to 0 instead of 1.
No clue if anything like this would work on the m8,as I don't have mine yet.

Someone said adding tethering_dun_required=0 to settings.db would do it, but I tried it and it didn't work. I rebooted the phone and verified the new setting is in there as below, but trying to start the hotspot resulted in the same "call 611" bull**** as before:
% adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'select * from global where name = \"tether_dun_required\"'
106|tether_dun_required|0
%
I'm using KnoxRaid ROM which is based on the AT&T firmware. I haven't tried, but I'm willing to bet the international version roms don't have this problem.
edit: Just tried flashing ARHD, which is based on the international stock ROM, on my AT&T device and mobile hotspot works out of the box.
I can tell you the HTC One M8 for Windows (Verizon Wireless) variant despite being unlocked for GSM, it didn't matter whether I used Straight Talk (AT&T) or a T-Mobile branded SIM card; it did not work...that said, this being an Android thread before I purchase a HTC One M8 Android - either an AT&T variant or Developer Edition variant, I wanted to double check with y'all as to whether like my HTC One M7 64GB DE if I also had to root and custom flash for example with ARHD 43.0 to enable the mobile network share aka wi-fi hotspot on the device? It works to perfection on my M7 with ARHD 92.0. (And before some jackass gets on here and tells did I search for this; yes, I did). Thanks everybody; take care and have a wonderful day!
