[Q] Rogers Caller ID, Name and Number - HTC EVO 3D

Has anyone had any success in getting the Rogers EVO 3D to display incoming caller names that are NOT in the contacts list. Those of you on Rogers know what I am talking about.
I was told by Rogers and Best Buy prior to purchasing it that it would work and a phone call to tech support after buying it that it should work. I called tech support again today and the guy first said yes, then after doing some research he said "he googled it and it looks like Androids don't support this" so he really knew nothing about the phone and had no info about it.
I need to return this phone ASAP but I want others to confirm that it also does not work for them as well just so I know it isn't something with my line.

Works for me, have had the phone for 3 hours now and have gotten calls from outside the people on my contact list.

And you see their name and number displayed?

I have never had this work on a cellphone on any carrier, I mean you see the number, but not the name: At&t, Rogers, t-Mobile UK, etc.

Rogers seems to be the only carrier that supports the feature, it costs $2 extra per month. if I place my sim card in my Nokia N97 it works and apparently it works on almost all Samsung phones.

I have seen a few people in the forum with Roger listed as their carrier and saying they have the 3D but I still have not heard anyone positively say that incoming name display works or not.
The feature is really important to me and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

grrr, now I am really upset because someone PM'ed me 1.5 hours ago saying they DO see names form unknown callers but I returned my EVO 3D 3 hours ago!!! I can still go to the store and get it back and return the SGS II I bought but have not even used at all yet but I really need full confirmation
Please help, I am in a desperate situation where time is very limited for me and I must act quickly.
Anyone and everyone in Canada with an EVO 3D on Rogers please verify for me that this feature should work, Rogers has no clear answers on this and I really love the phone .

[Q] Vibrant help with changing the imei #

Ugh... I am so tired of searching on how to change the imei number on the vibrant.
I have now for about a month.
I have tried so many updates and new roms to try and spoof up the imei number.
I have read alot of people talking about trying to repair their imei number?
Well my question is, what did you do to mess it up?
I need to spoof mine up because.... (long story)
I had the motorola cliq for about a year, loved it then some one stole it from me at school. Lame but forunatly it was around christmas time and I asked everyone for money to pitch in money so I could get a new phone. So I got enough money to buy the vibrant (off craigslist), and thats all I got for christmas. I got it about 2 weeks before christmas so it totally sucked to watch everyone open gifts in front of you and you just sit there with your phone.
Lucky this phone kicks ass
Sadly about a weeks after christmas, the phone suddenly doesnt connect to the net work anymore. We called t-mobile and they said who ever owned the phone before stopped paying the bill for the phone and its two year contract so the phone has been blacklisted.
So the only way I could use the phone is if I spoof up the imei number, now can some one please help me with this.
I am willing to pay money, whatever.
Oh and if I unlock this phone, could a at&t sim card work with the phone and connect to the network?
Please help asap.
You can't it comes with the phone
Its like the serial number can't change it

1) Changing/spoofing IMEIs or ESNs is illegal. Look it up.
2) T-Mobile only blacklists phones if they were purchased on the EIP and weren't paid off, and I'm not even sure they're actually doing that yet.
Are you sure you took the phone to t-mobile and got a new sim card with your original phone number?
When you don't pay your bill they cut off your service. not blacklist the phone.

Hey I was in the same situation.. bought my phone off craigslist and had it on simple mobile (reseller of tmobile service) and after I had the phone for about the month it said no service. I thought it was a sim error but I tried a tmobile sim and the same thing happened come to find out tmobile blacklisted the imei because of a unpaid bill on the previous owners account but I did manage to get it unlocked and had to switch it to at&t so just to let everyone know t mobile does blacklist imei numbers now

Global EVO 3D version

I went to the HTC event in Vancouver this week and I noticed an employee was holding an HTC phone with a dual camera on the back. I asked her what it was, and I got a VERY BRIEF view of a global GSM version of the EVO 3D and saw the glasses-free 3D effect. There was no Sprint or other carrier logo on it, and there was a numeric tag on the phone, and she confirmed it's the global version. She told me she wasn't allowed to show me anything else.
But there we go. Exciting isn't it?
Man I wish Sprint got the global version :\ I'd love to pop one of my own SIM cards in there while I'm traveling.
~ Jake
did you get to hold it or anything?!
I highly doubt Sprint would allow a GSM version to be released in the US, atleast not right away. Probably will be on bands not compatible in the states.
Vodafone. They are getting the global version.

Which is what...Verizon? Still won't be in the states. This ain't gonna be like an iPhone on every carrier lol
The gsm version is easy to spot. Go to HTC and look at the Evo 3D and notice on the phones back cover. The ring around the camera is gold, not the American red color.
From my soon to be Evo 3D

Yeah she gave me no indication as to whether a Canadian release was likely, but typically we see versions of European HTC phones arriving here a few months later on Telus or Bell. It usually alternates.
Bell just got the Incredible S and soon Wildfire S. Telus is rumored to get the Flyer. My guess is, Telus gets the Evo 3D if Canada gets it at all. Maybe rebranded as the Desire 3D, since they got the original Desire and the HD. Bell got the Desire Z and the HD7 though.
Or if Bell gets the E3D, then Telus will get an 850/1900 version of the Sensation as a consolation prize.
And I think it's pretty safe to say Rogers won't get any of the above. Their former relationship with HTC appears to be severely broken.

A little off topic, but how was the 3D effect? I'm really keen to see how it is in person but I'd like to know what other people think of it.
Here's to hoping the Evo 3D makes its way to Australia

The only glimpse I got was from the phone being held in camera mode, and the display was showing a 3D rendition of what it was filming. I definitely saw the 3D effect but I wasn't in the optimal viewing position. It still wowed me.

Media Net Plan with AT&T problem

I have a problem with my internet on my sg2, A couple weeks ago before I got my sg2 I had bought an matrix and put my sim in it. So their system registered that phone and gave me the 4g plan, I wasn't aware of it until I got my bill. I thought I was using the media net. I got it changed back to the media net again but now my phone doesn't get internet data. Does anyone know why and how can I fix it

on a different note, does S2 get recognized as smartphone with ATT?
Recently, HTC caved in and gave ATT IMEIs of all HTC HD2 and now everyone is getting switched to smartphone plans. I wonder for how long will Galaxy S2 be able to fly under the radar. It's only a matter of few weeks when ATT will get that list from Samsung and all these S2s will hit craigslist and ebay. Nokia remains a safe bet and doesn't have their eggs in ATT basket.

Login to OLAM and you see a pic of the smartphone and next you see a $25 smartphone plan they slapped on you that you can't remove. Actually, my 1st post was more of fear mongering. S2 (euro) will probably never get to ATT. ATT has all T-mo IMEIs, all Nexus 1 with ATT 3g bands, and all HD2. I read it somewhere. So, they are definitely trying to get their hands on smartphone IMEIs (?). We need some conclusive input from ATT reps, because 600 is too much to drop on a phone knowing that it might get picked up by ATT.
I called att and they still show me having a razor. They tried trouble shooting it and was unable to resolve it. They were going to transfer me to a level 2 aupport but the rep came back on the line saying that the weat coast was having some technical difficulties so maybe that's why it wasn't workiing.

[Q] Moving Evo3d to Verizon

I am getting kicked off of Sprint's network because I moved out of service range. I was about 4 months into a 24mo contract when I moved, so I was not about to terminate that contract. I just now got the letter stating that my line is being disconnected.
I would like to keep my HTC Evo3D phone but move to a Verizon account. I have been searching to find out if this is possible and I have turned up many differing responses. I am hoping to get a definitive answer here. I have seen that it is NOT possible, and that it is illegal.
I have also seen that it IS possible, but I can't find any walkthroughs with the actual EVO3d that I can use.
Granted this phone isn't worth a whole lot anymore, but I can't go and spend $200-300 on another phone right now when I have a perfectly good one. Is anyone willing to give me an honest opinon on my problem?
The device can be flashed to Verizon, but you will probably have to do it yourself. Most contract providers don't do flashing.
phone: HTC EVO 3d flashed to cricket
H-Boot: Jbear 1.50
ROM: Dirty Unicorns
phone: HTC one v cricket
rooted and romed
ROM: provisions
I heard Verizon prepaied allows sprint esns. Dont know the truth behind it. Call and find out. Let us know what they say. But as far as flashing goes its easy to do. It's the esn that is the tricky part.

If your phone is being disconnected by sprint, then the esn is good as there is no outstanding balance on the account nor the phone has been stolen. Flashing is possible, but youll have to flash the phone manually and get a donor phone for the account to activate the other.

not exactly, you see the donor phone will be the one that will be activated, but you need a clean esn to flash the phone properly to another carrier otherwise, the phone will be flaged, once the phone is flashed, you just need to update the info of your account with the phone you wish to use and wala, its done and you have vzw service on a sprint phone.

HTC Desire 4G LTE (ADR6410LRA) appears in the wild

Hi together, i just noticed that the "non-verizon branded" Version of our ADR6410 seems to be available in the wild (-> on ebay.com) ... that seems to still have the identical specs as the verizon version and NOT the down-spec'ed like that "desire vc".
appologies for just snapping the pics from an ebay-offer, but it's just to show it to you for reference! HTC logo instead of our "verizon-mark". no idea about roms or unlocks for that modified ADR6410-LRA (from my side) of course. :fingers-crossed:
according to the seller:
As you see - the unit is a "6410LRA". The "LRA" stands for "LTE Across Rural America." This was ORIGINALLY a Verizon product but it was passed on to smaller regional carriers. This unit WILL NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT work on the Verizon (or Sprint) Network - NOT! You WILL need a SIM Card from one of the Regional networks to use this phone (SIM Card NOT Included) and even then we make NO guarantees of this phone being able to work on any Carrier. There are some carriers this MIGHT work on but we don't know which ones. When a Unit is Powered Up NO Carrier logo comes on the screen.

i'm just not sure if the unluck (root etc) would work the same way. alas, not much to worry about it for myself ... since i already have my Dinc4G and here in Europe you can't buy them (regularily anyhow). was just wondering ^^
very disappointed with this phone
HTC has been disappointing me HARD as of late..
Not sure if switching back over was the right move, Samsung was great, except when they locked the s4 bootloader and there is $5,000 bounty not being claimed yet, so i doubt itll come, id rather dump this if no S-OFF and get the s4 dev edition..
I have one of these, and purchased it at an independent cell company here in east KY. So far it seems to be a good phone. Signal is good, and has all the specs I need for my use. Battery life is excellent I've been one of AT&T's faithful since the Cingular days back in the early 90's. However, just to be blunt, AT&T coverage has dropped by at least 50% over the past 5 years - hence my reason to take a stab at App Wireless App Wireless is locally owned, and actually is the oldest provider in this area. The only issue is they are somewhat higher in rates, and initial cost is higher. With that being said......
I'd love to make the switch. I still have a few months under contract with AT&T, but would be willing to pay the ETF fee. Even though App Wireless is higher in pricing, the coverage more than makes up for it. I'd much rather pay $70 for 95% coverage as to pay $50 for 50% coverage
I really need to get this thing rooted Basically just to install programs on an ext4. It surprised me as to the programs that will install to the external SD card automatically, but there are just those few that won't. Searching the forums I can't find a definitive answer on this phone. I have found where its been done on the Verizon branded, and the HTC Desire VC, plus... even the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE.
I've searched this and other forums - is there ANYWHERE posted that this phone has successfully been rooted?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I decided to be a "rabbit", and take a chance on my new HTC Desire 4G LTE - at least that's what the independent carrier calls it. It is similar to the HTC Desire VC they offer, but the specs are closer to the HTC Droid Incredible 4g LTE.
Anyway, whenever I plugged it into a program of sorts, it recognized it as the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE. The big difference being the Hinc is a model from Verizon, ADR6410VZW. Mine is a ADR6410LTA.
All of the other specs are identical with the exception of the CID. The Verizon is a VZW__001 that mosts posts say to SuperCID it to 11111111 to root, but the ADR6410LRA is a UTSI_005. Therefore a lot of the steps are not needed.
As of right now, my bootloader is unlocked, and the phone is rooted, and everything is working fine. I also installed TWRP. So....for those that have the LRA version instead of the Verizon, everything here applies and will work fine.
Thought this may help a few.
