Will the EVO 3D work if not activated from sprint, I'VE heard it will but I am curious to this fact, also if I can get passed the setup because I live in Canada.

I used mine for almost a day (used wifi only) before I caved in and activated it online. There are quite a few who are doing as you said ..work the phone without activation. As for being in Canada .. can't help you on that problem.

I like your picture of a cat with a helmet.
See because I hate cats (sorry I have my reasons) and to me, a cat with a helmet means I can kick it out of my way and not really 'harm' it because it has protection on it.
Im JK but I do hate cats still.

I don't want to use the phone, I just want to use the features since the nexus s is my main phone to make calls and I plan to tether my nexus to my HTC EVO 3D so I can access all of the internet features.

On setup, just hit back when you get to the first back button...if that does not work...starting in a clockwise fashion...touch the corners of the screen with the top left first then hit the android..this also bypasses the setup feature. It's been a while since I did this..so you might verify doing a google search.
Yes you'll be able to use apps and all that without activating it. Obviously you won't be able to make phone calls. Most android phones don't need activation to get into the OS.

Hello All,
I used to have an iPhone 3G, where my voicemail was easily available via the dialer. I have not checked my voicemail since I've bought my Atrix 4G (which has been over a month). I'm not sure if rooting, and theming may have screwed up my settings or not, but I attempt to access my VM and it asks me for a mailbox #. WTF?!? I never EVER recall setting up one, as far as I know it was just there and tied to my phone. I was able to access my VM by calling my phone number from my cell, but now I attempt to do that and I get a busy signal.
A tad frustrated, so sorry for the crazy rant above. Has anyone else experienced the same/similar situation? And if so, is there a way to fix it? I don't want to result in calling Customer Service/Tech Support for ATT until I've attempted to troubleshoot things here, since they will probably ask me "have you done anything to your phone" and I'll have to be like, "Yes, I attempted and succeeded in making it better from your and Moto's BS filled phone."
Thanks all for your time!
Press and hold the #1 on the keypad for vm.
If it asks for a mailbox number, you will have to call AT&T.
This is typical for users going from visual voicemail to standard voicemail.
Some AT&T reps forget to reconfigure your vm.

Thanks much! I came across a similar post elsewhere that said the same thing and I had to give'm a ring. I'll be setting it up here shortly! Thanks again.

I thought anybody with a Google phone would know to use Google Voice.
When you cone from iPhone they cancel your VM. You have to get them to set it up again, then you can use it.

They don't forget to reconfigure it, they actually cancel it. They just forget to add it back for your plan.

This is what I use, but it doesn't hurt to have the carrier's VM to fallback on.
Will the note run on the sprint network if i buy one unlocked? It shows it runs on their frequency but i have never bought a phone unlocked and tried to get it on a network that does not carry that phone in their line up. Will it work with sprint network? I want it bad but want to make sure before i get one. Im in love with that bad boy. Anyone with better tech knowledge than me please let me know

Runs on their frequency but not on CDMA the unlocked phone is GSM only (att; tmob) so yeah, can't use it at all. Quite the shame, I would love to get me a Note.

Found that out the hard way a long time ago
Tmobile has changed a lot, they are just flat turning into thieves with a business license now. Never switch to a carrier just for the devices they can run, that is just plain not smart, at all.
I am not trying to be offensive, I do have your best interest in mind. With how fast devices are pushed out, there will be one that is better and what you want in 6 months time. So it doesn't make sense to move to a carrier for the phones. You will just get yourself locked into some contract that (Tmobile especially) keeps updating to strip more freedom and cost to to you.

Double check on the actual bands it supports; 3G especially considering the fact that tmob uses their own 3G unlike most other GSM carriers.
Aka it should work fine... BUT it might be stuck on EDGE at all times. Not cool.
I have a question about the data...I can't really afford to get a data plan for 2 years even though I am available for an upgrade at this moment. I will talk to my mom about it too, but the main question is ; say I bought a used Amaze 4g, will it still function right without the 3g/4g? I heard somewhere some phones wont even boot without data or something like that...if thats false dont laugh at me :| but yeah, could someone please answer this question for me? My HTC HD2 is starting to get on the bad side now :\ Thank you.
it will work fine without data, heck you will get amazing battery life as 3g/4g uses alot more power. You wont recieve weather updates and some widgets wont function properly, but as a phone and a media device it will work flawlessly! enjoy your amaze

A second thought, which is what I'm about to do. Leave the contract and go for the $30 a month monthly4g plan. 5gbs of 4G, unlimited text and 100 minutes. If you run out of minutes use a voip app like Google voice and grooveip.

Buying a used phone is no problem. T-Mobile won't sell you a new phone without a data plan.

Just flashed CM 10.1 and Gapps and upon first bootup it's asking me to activate. Do I need to activate or can I skip it?
I installed Meanbean before this and it didn't ask me to activate so I'm a little confused.
Thanks!

Did you just s-off your phone, regardless when you try to make a call, sprint will pick up and fix it for you if you are not able to make calls.

If I recall right, when deck very first built CM10, people got the activate message and it actually really borked a couple phones. There's even big red bold type in the OP referring to it. But that was long ago, and not on 10.1
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Is there a way to get it working. I dont need it all the time but there are those few occasions where it pisses me off when my gsm buddies are on the phone with me and i tell them im gunna look something up real quick and realize i cant while i am on the call. There are a few times when it would have really came in handy

SPARK devices give up this functionality... Not until Sprint rolls out VOLTE will we have voice/data simultaneously.
