So you make a pointless post here about it instead of calling up Verizon and asking them why

It only does this on ShiftASOP 2.5

The guy is asking for help. If you're not going to help, then why would you take the time to post?
For what its worth I started getting strange texts from VZW telling me I texted a land line, after I installed Macaffee. I'd bet there's some kind of feed back being sent from your phone. Try looking through the settings of apps that are unique to your ROM.

I called Verizon and as always they had no idea what I was talking about. But I did find this and it was added to my account and I have now removed it. We will see if this actually fixes this issue.

[Q] Evo 3d to boost and unlimited everything under $25 a month

hello everyone, So I bought a guide that shows how to get my evo 3d onto boost, it could have been a little more detailed in the instructions but oh well. The guide had me root my evo 3d, which I did. Then the guide had me get a boost donor phone, such as the sanyo incognito, which I did.
I followed all of the instructions exactly, and at the end of it only my data works on boost, my texts and phone calls don't. The data works superbly though, and speedtests faster than when I was on sprint, so I've very happy about that, plus I'm on a boost plan that I only pay per minute per text and 50 cents per day of data usage, so if I use no minutes or texts then it's only 15 bucks a month for data, and with the data you can use other apps for phone calls and texting, such as skype (with a phone number from skype which is like 6 bucks a month) so really its under 25 bucks a month for unlimited everything using this method (I hope you guys also agree that it's ingenious).
But I still would like to get the built in phone calls and texting working correctly, do you guys have any ideas or evo 3d to boost guides you can point me to so I can see if there are any differences or steps that were missing in my guide? Or any other ideas or advice you guys have I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if you any of you have already hacked your evo 3d's to boost mobile if you could post here and maybe put what steps you followed, maybe I will talk with you further to figure out what I missed or didn't do.
THANKS!
You bought a guide...? You do realize this is xda right lol. You could of easily got that information for free with the search button.

Another option is purchase groove ip and add google voice and boom you have a dedicated number and you can send/receive calls and sms with both those programs. My question for you is how you got boost for that low?

I thought this might help as well, it's a zipped packaged I uploaded to megaupload for you all. It contains all of the applications and drivers necessary in the instructions from my last post. megaupload.com/?d=Z9B6WK8Y
Also, everyone probably already knows this but, if you do the data only option from my previous post and want good reliable phone service you can always supplement with unlimited calling with skype for 3 bucks a month (and get your own callable number for like 4 bucks if you want). If you just get the unlimited calling you can add a number so it wont be a random caller id number when you call people, just log into skype and look on your left for caller id number or something like that, and put the number you want (your original number or your google voice number, which is what I put). My skype connection gets better quality than the google voice over my phone's data, and since I make most of my calls at home it's perfect for me and for only 3 bucks a month.
Again, if you can donate, it would be awesome, just go to my daughter's website: kynziealvarez.org

I thought everyone already knew that almost all kegens and program cracks show up as viruses, but it's really just a false positive. I suppose it's interesting to find out there are still people in the world who still don't know that.
Oh, and on my previous post, when I mentioned supplementing with skype, I meant I use skype for phone calls on my computer, not on my phone, in case there was any confusion.
I still have zero thanks? hmm that sucks, very discouraging.

not trying to be a ****... but why would we thank you when u havent done anything?
1. Its not a false positive...Its a virus. But easily removed...it copies itself to the Windows folder.
2. The flash is risky unless you know what you are doing
3. The info is on the internet if you look. I had it over a month ago. My tip is to go through diypda.com - all the info is their if you look. The chinese are way ahead of us so its an interesting read. Translate it and search...
4. How in heck is it only 25 a month!!!! Nice going.

Petition HTC an Verizon to unlock our bootloader!

I created this http://www.change.org/petitions/htc...unlock-the-droid-incredible-4g-lte-bootloader. to petition the unlock of the bootloader. We can't just sign a petition an pray for it to happen. We must get on their Facebook, twitter an any social media site they have pressuring them into this. Don't go post "hey assholes unlock our device", that won't help, just makes you look stupid! Post on their something like "I've been with you since 2005,long time customer, but you locking my device down in unacceptable! If this isn't fixed shortly I will leave for another company!" stuff like that over an over will get their attention. At the same time spread the word of the site an the unfairness of both the companies.
It's time to rise up an show them, without us, they are nothing!
Some extra info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32332265#post32332265
a few other notes:
if anyone has some suggestion,like change this or other stuff. bring it up here,so we can all discuss it. this is a community.even though the petition has my name on it,its all for you guys. so if their isnt something in it you dont like,well didnt i say bring it up?? lets all work together on this.
If anyone has heard back from either company, please share it here with everyone.
I might delete some comments in the future, just to showcase responses back from people or other stuff. It's not personal .

Thanks to mdmower,I added his revised version for the petition. I'll admit his looks better then mine.
mdmower said:
Include the HTC Incredible 4G LTE in HTCdev's unlockable bootloader program
Upon release of the HTC Incredible 4G LTE, HTCdev included the phone in its unlockable bootloader program. Within a matter [of] days, the phone was removed from the program, presumably at the request of Verizon Wireless. There is no clear reason as to why this phone was removed from the program, as users of the bootloader unlock suffered no ill effects.
This petition is being put forth to both HTCdev and Verizon Wireless to request that the HTC [Droid] Incredible 4G LTE be reinstated into the unlockable bootloader program. Support of open development drives innovation and sales. HTC's software developers can learn from the developer community while Verizon Wireless can benefit from end-users upgrading/renewing their plans to take advantage of this new phone. Furthermore, this simple act would incline users to recommend both HTC products and Verizon Wireless service in the future.
Inclusion of the HTC Incredible 4G LTE into HTCdev's unlockable bootloader program is in the best interest of HTC, Verizon Wireless, and end-users. Please take action on this matter as soon as possible.

Agreed. This is similar to the letter I wrote to the regional prez for VZW covering South Carolina. Granted mine was 3 pages long and covered individual issues I've had with VZW. Of course I never got a reply.
Signed. Recived another letter from Verizon that was the exact one I recived before.

Op updating
The several posts that were deleted were on-topic and showed contribution from the community to writing/revising this petition, I don't see why they were removed. This also eliminated the possibility of thanking users for various contributions. I'm new to posting on XDA, and now I'm missing out on any opportunity to add to my thanks meter.
The OP's petition still retains the old petition letter below the description. I initially thought these would be non-editable so I created a separate petition (really, I'm surprised that a petition author can change the letter AFTER signatures have been added, but change.org seems to allow this). I now see that the OP can in fact edit all aspects of the petition (except maybe the url), and so users should sign that when it is completely updated.
signed.
but should it say "HTC and Verizon" not "an" ?
Guys please read the op over again. I currently stated that some posts would be deleted, it's in order to show who signed an has heard back from either company.
I will be adding to the op who has helped an stuff, just please bare with me on this. I have a lot going on with xda.
Here is what i Got from VZW. I talked to Scott today and he offered me a different device saying that the letter states VZW's stance on the bootloader being unlocked. He actually started the offer with a Galaxy S3 and I said Rezound if I was going to do that. It was for a certified used device with cover and battery. He said my plan and everything would stay the same. He gave me until Friday for the offer.

Did they offer you the S3 at upgrade price? Without losing unlimited data? In the letter I wrote to the regional prez for the Carolinas, I told them I'd be willing to pay for a new phone at upgrade price if I didn't lose my unlimited data, but haven't heard anything back.

I just want to make sure that you realize the petition isn't completely updated. Please take no offense, I just want people to have a petition they are comfortable signing (myself included),
1) Other users have mentioned the use of "an" in place of "and"; these are two very different words. I hope you'll reconsider this habit in the future.
2) The letter just beneath the description of the petition still contains the old petition's text: "HTC an Verizon are abusing their abilities...". I'm very uncomfortable signing the petition with this letter still in place.
3) The paragraph breaks are missing from the letter. The breaks help emphasize different points and are appropriate.
4) When introducing HTCdev, it would be best to first list the name, then follow with the web address. In the first paragraph, replace "http://www.htcdev.com" with "HTCdev (htcdev.com)".
Please realize that we are trying to petition some very large corporations. Professionalism is a must if we expect to be taken seriously. Attacks on their name or reputation are only going to guarantee non-response. Poor grammar and structure will also leave our petition ignored. HTC and Verizon Wireless will have a more difficult time combating reason and intellect, and for this I think the community should strive.
I copied everything you posted in the pm. I'm not obligated to do this for y'all, I'm trying to help out. This will be updated when I have the time. If you want to start your own be my guest. Don't get mad or something with me, when I'm busy doing stuff around xda an in my life.
Honestly you should be glad, that I'm doing this for you guys. I don't mind a little nudge here or there to fix stuff. Just don't badger me over stuff.

did someone in our community ask you to make the petition?
If not.. you did this on your on time and doing.
so we would like to be taken seriously, no on is putting you down, I've had issues with mdmower, but I have to agree with the polite way he approached you about the petition, but I found your response a bit childish in the manner you had let us know that you aren't doing this because you have to but rather YOU chose to.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you and what you're doing.
but I don't NEED to be glad about anything that you are doing, so for you to say "Honestly you should be glad, that I'm doing this for you guys." is completely childish IMO and I don't agree with it one bit.
If you don't want to be bothered over "stuff" then why are you the OP?
I'm confused.
If it possible please ignore my actions last night. I was stressed out over my job interview I had this morning.
I'm sorry for the way I acted.

Google wallet at&t

Have spent a fair amount of time on google (and and ddg and bing, just in case google's contractually bound to stfu or anything) searching for a way to circumvent the gestapo tactics employed by at&t to filter us in to being thrilled that they will one day come out with an equivalent system to what google wallet has been offering since 2011, and i haven't found anything for this phone except for 2 people that swore it'd be done that never responded. I want to post this here, where people that tinker thrive.
I realize google wallet isn't a hot issue for most of us.. but for those of us that would like to have it and to get that experience in while the 0$ fraud liabillity extends to cards stored on our phones' memory, i'd like to ask once and for all..
is there a way to get google wallet working on an AT&T htc one? i have seen conclusive accounts of people with other phones having it working.. but through everything except having this number active on another carrier and bringing it over, i have personally not found positive results. in the three days i've been trying, i HAVE gotten gwallet force closing, getting the 'unfortunately, wallet has stopped', message, or getting bored after 5 minutes and doing something else on my phone to see the gwallet has stopped message.
if there's a guide, please post it. otherwise, if anyone has actually gotten gwallet working on AT&T's network (or off with an unlocked number and have goteen it working with at&t) please share it here.
To be honest, it's like at&t has absolute control over what goes through this phone, even when on wifi. at the very least the goal of this thread is to find out conclusively that my data isn't filtered by some master at&t .hosts file somewhere in texas ,but i'd definitely prefer to leave with a working wallet app, so chime in if you know something i dont
always overly appreciative and way too damn generous with the thanks,

This might seem crazy

I have a question. Does anyone know if there is an app out there that will forward text messages. I think my spouse is cheating on me. I was wondering if there was an app out there that can send me the texts message he gets and the texts messages he send without him knowing about it

I honestly dont think there is such app nor will they ever be.... unless your an FBI agent or something alike that has the tools to intercept messages etc.
And im pretty sure its illegal to do so.
Wait until shes asleep and sneak her phone
Ask to borrow the phone to make a call cause you left yours somewhere or other, if they refuse, there is your answer.

Stop being a prick! Be straight forward and ask her. If you don't dare, then you don't derserve an answer. Don't try to spy on her, since this will break the least bit of trust, that you have in her. Also think the other way around. Would you want her to read ALL of your messages? And yes there ways to spy on hery but this clearly is the wrong forum to ask such questions. So leave it be.

Anyone have the old T-Mobile

Does anyone here have the old T-Mobile account usage apk? Used to look like a tag in the notification bar and when you pulled down the bar it had a quick 3 slot summary of minutes used, texts, and data. I used to have it and a backup but inadvertently updated it to the new one and it's terrible. I'd be grateful if anyone has the old version

I have it, but it will constantly ask you to update to the latest version. If you would still like to have it, I can send it to you in an email.
Yeah that would be great if you could. Yeah it was constantly asking but figured it was a small price to pay for how much garbage the new one is. Everything just lined up exactly wrong and I ended up updating on the phone along with overwriting my old backup.

You could use Titanium Backup to detach it from the Play Store to avoid constant update notifications.
Other than a very basic knowledge of the app as in backing stuff up, restoring and uninstalling apps you can't normally uninstall I am unaware of its capabilities, although I always read that it's an amazing must have app for a rooted device. Is detaching it from the play store a quick process easily explained for a reply or is it easily found doing a search for the prices? I guess I can answer that last possibility myself by having my ass do a search lol. I appreciate it though, that's a really beneficial tip.
