Does anybody know how to activate HTC Rezound with PagePlus ? Do you have to flash to phone or just program it differently and How do you get 3G to work? I heard if you flash it, you only get 2G data???
Been hunting for that info for a few weeks and so far...
Nothing much to report. At least, nothing I can clearly do without filling in a bunch of holes in the process. Here are a few links that get kinda close to what we are looking for:

right now Im stuck unable to get phone recognized by qpst nor cdma workshop. I think its a bad set of drivers or something. I learned that we have to install HTC sync, then uninstall it and it should leave the necessary drivers available for use, but ive tried that process several times and can never get the phone seen by qpst. you also should be able to see phone drivers in windows device manager under ports, i think, and I cant seem to get that to show either. If I get any help Ill try to post it here. But after 3 weeks or so with the phone Im about nuts trying to learn from scraps here and there. I put out a craigslist ad looking for someone to do it for me... I hate the old windows mobile samsung I activated on my page plus account while I sort this Rezound out.
I love the pricing I get with PP with my droids: wife and I do $27.xx each for 1200 minutes, 3000 txts, 100 mb of data for a month. We use our wifi at home for most downloads and do just fine on our limited data. If we need to use heavy data some month, we can just re-up next month a few days early, OR just add a $10 card or so to add the occasional data bump. Its a sweet deal for us. If only I can get the Rezound off and running...
Good luck to both of us!

Can you tell us exactly what you have done up until now to try to get it to work? Also, which Sprint plan do you have?

i have the 1000 minute employee plan w/unlimited everything else (data/text/navi/etc). i have tried 3 hours on the phone w/tech support (useless) a few hard resets, prl/profile update. every time i call tech support they tell me a different solution each time but it never works... some say i have evdo n my area, some dont... and i dont have a sprint store to take it to in my area only have authorized dealers like best buy/radioshack
i cant deal with these 20k DL speeds of 1X but other than that my fone works fine. ive had 1 alltel 6800 and 2 alltel moguls so im really liking the pro but i have never had this prob.
any other suggestions on what i should try?
Try this method
##DATA# (##3282#)
You need your unlock code.
Change Active profile to 1, or if it is is one reset.
Exit, phone should ask to restart.
.....
Not sure if the following is required, but
Go to setting, Connections, Connections, Sprint, Manage Connections
Click and hold Sprint #777 until menu pops up then delete.
Exit
Update Profile, Try Browser. Took a couple times but I was in a poor data signal area.
Now, if you are not familiar with the "unlock code", it is your MSL number. Sprint will not readily give this to you since it allows you to do a bunch of stuff. In order to get it, get this program:
http://www.baf.cc/bafmsl
Just install it and run it (you may need Compact framework 2 or later to run this).
In my case, I was not getting any type of internet, but this solved my problem (I spent a bunch of time with Sprint Technical Support as well, but no dice). Good luck and let us know if this worked...
i tried both methods with no luck. ive talked to tech support so many times i remember my msl already. im going to try a few more times from different parts of the city. one tech lady told me that i have spotty evdo coverage but i still should be able to get evdo. i even tried making my own connection set to dial #777, still no evdo...
thanks for the reply, keep the suggestions coming please
did a 512k speed test on my alltel mogul vs sprint pro side by side at the same time using IE... results...
alltel mogul did it in 5.668 seconds/723kbps band/90.38kb dload w/2 signal bars
sprint pro took 23 secs/173kbps/21kb dload w/full signal
so my mogul is like 4x faster then my pro, ouch... i think i downgraded PPCs instead of upgrading lol

Make sure you are using a CDMA radio first off. Find the latest radio for raphael cdma and try that.
If you pm me your phone# or account# (on your bill), ill see if your account is even provisioned with evdo service. I can check some things out and hopefully fix it.
I would flash a cdma 6.5 rom on it and see how it is. I assume you checked to make sure evdo is enabled on the phone and all that other stuff.
If you don't feel comfortable with giving me that info, post your zip and ill check to see if evdo is actually in your area.
im using the stock sprint rom/radio that came on the fone, 1.03.651.4/1.03.15F. i think it is on but wouldnt hurt to check again... instructions please?
also, cant use my laptop since my charger died so i cant even look for myself to make sure i have coverage and the map doesnt load on my pro. zip is 39301.
well guys... my return kit for the sprint pro is on the way since sprint doesnt have evdo in my area and i dont want a $300 fone with only 1x internet...
i think i will settle for the $100 Sprint Instinct s30 and file insurance on my 6800 for a alltel pro... also, alltel has the touch pro for $79.99 w/2 year, and it doesnt look like it has all the carrier labeling like the sprint pro.
You should update your radio to verizon radio rom. Verizon radio rom are more stable than sprint radio's. My HTC is working more stable than stock sprint rom and little more battery juice too.
Had my note for a week and it would never work right on any AT&T hotspots. It would connect but I would get a notification that the connection failed, basically it seems that the authentication failed as I would get no data despite still showing connected in wifi connections. They gave me a new sim along with about 2 hours of wasted time doing other crap. They eventually put my sim in another handset and it worked. Come to find out that 4 other people have had the same problem in the past couple weeks with their Note. One of which was there at same time and his started working about ten minutes after a sim swap. The other two both got new phones like I did. Something you guys may want to check out, especially if within the 30 days. I spent the past week skimming through and installing apps suggested apps, time to start over.

UGGGHHHHHHH I hate when I click "Thanks" instead of Quote. Ugh.
Anyway, so they swapped your phone when they just needed to swap the SIM? Brilliant...

First, thansk for the thank anyways!
Second, No I did need a new phone. They swapped my SIM with no change. The one guy got a sim swap and it worked for him. Took awhole new phone for me. But I'm big on getting what I pay for. They used the free wifi as a selling point. I will very rarely use it, but first night there I was at McDs and got a connection failed notice. If i'm paying for it, it'll work one way or the other, especially now that I dont have unlimited data.
Just because it connects to a wifi spot doesn't mean you get internet right away. You still need to open up a browser and confirm to their terms and conditions before the internet works.
Yea I know, it wouldnt do that though. The browser tried to connect and got nowhere. The key to the authentication fail is that network connections showed it connected but the ATT notification said connection failed. This is the safeguard that keeps all but ATT devices off the network, a function of a implicit deny rule.
This is prob meant for another thread but they really need to make those ATT Hotspots recognize that you're on an ATT phone and auto connect without having to hit accept on the Terms and Conditions. I have times when my mother and aunt are at a Starbucks and they'd call me saying they're on the wifi but it's not working. I gotta keep telling them to open up a browser and hit accept on the terms and conditions.
BTW, does anyone know if you nuke/freeze the AT&T Hotspots app, does this prevent you from using ATT Free wifi?

I've never had to accept any Terms and Conditions on an AT&T device at an AT&T hotspot. If I go to Starbucks, the phone connects without any prompting and gains access, a little AT&T hotspot indicator appears in the notification bar. If I try to connect with my laptop or a non-AT&T phone, I have to accept Terms and Conditions.
I also had to exchange my Note this week, after about 10 days of use. The phone was in the car holder and it rebooted. It then started boot looping where it would display the Samsung splash logo, and then reboot. It would not go into Recovery, though would go into Download mode. AT&T tried to reset it for 20 minutes and then gave up and gave me a new phone.
Hello,
regarding people coming up and saying about legality, I own my phones and acc.
if you dont post in here, please send me a pm.
I have an evo 3d rooted, I put my phone's donor on my evo, I own my acc and phone with verizon. I just like to use my evo 3d. Anyway, I have voice/text working, but data. also the roaming triangle, My phone sees it as I'm roaming, while my phone already uses verizon services in my acc.
But I truly need my data working.
Thanks for help.

thanks, edited
come on, impossible no one has done it before.....!!!!
Ok, funny thing, couple of years ago I made a post to get your evo on Metropcs when people was charging an arm an a leg for that.
it has gone on for +2 with +160k views ..
Now I come around asking a hint so where we can debate about that...
No one could post or pm with anything. besides swaping esn/meid which we'll not be covering in this topic for legality issues.
the rest is Technical matter.
Anyway...
I called verizon customer service today, twice.
first time they said to clear browser data(so smart) though I didnt even had 3G or any sort of internet conection.
of course didnt work and they want to send me a new phone.
second call, I was straight out, I said I was messing with my phone and software
and I erased the AAA/HA keys... well, went through some process and at their end my phone was successfully up and running. Meaning my phone had download the keys just right.
It get me to one point. the problem seems to be at my end.
Not sure if it is related with the ROM/Kernel/Keys/PRL/Roaming/etc....
Again, voice and text works just fine.
Now data still down, if could get at least the 1x going I would have more time to work on the 3g
Anybody out wanna work this out lmk, if you have gone thru this.. lmk.
really appreciate that.
fckng place...!!!
When I first tried cdma workshop to set spc, I connected with com port 3. But I didnt have sim card yet, and now I cant connect on any port this time.
I cant find anything on searches as to why I cant connect like I did the first time. I've been doing the research but run into a wall on this.
Can you help?
Been without a phone now for 2 weeks (dropped old phone in the swimming pool, chose Rezound, ebay... shipping wait... ebay for sim... wait... etc.)
My goal is to follow another thread to get the page plus prl and basically run this phone on page plus 3g.
Its been 2+ years since I had to do all this, and I'm quite rusty. I'm excited about this great upgrade from that tired old Eris
A new problem...I still have 4.3 on my Verizon Note 2, have updates disabled via Titanium Backup, still have the original Verizon unlimited plan...the phone does exactly what I want it to do, see no reason to mess with a winning formula. Most of the time I'm on my pc, I use the Pdanet hotspot to get connection. (It uses "FoxFi" to accomplish that, can't say I'm exactly sure how) Anyhow, when firing up the wifi mode, it always has to verify with some server that I've paid the 'subscription' fee. For the last 2 days, that process just times out. I've restarted phone, uninstalled / reinstalled pdanet/FoxFi key, no change. Always times out whilst 'checking subscription status'. (USB mode DOES work, however) I suppose there could be a problem on the other end....hope this isn't something that Verizon has managed to stomp.
Anyone else familiar with this problem, else have a work-around?
I am having the same problem since yesterday afternoon. I hope someone can figure this out.
Same problem also did verizon put a block on it
Same here! Going crazy as this is only internet for me!
Wife has same problem...I'm thinking it's a problem with the server that FoxFi uses to verify that you've purchased their app. Prolly get fixed monday
(Question: I really haven't done anything to this phone for a couple years...did they ever make it truly rootable beyond 4.3? That is...to the point where you can enable the wifi-hotspot without using a 3rd party app)

Us as well...and THAT'S only because there's a 10' stick of bamboo attached to my chimney, with an omni-directional antenna on top of THAT, feeding a cell-phone booster (Gives us passable 3G upstairs, which gets pushed around our hovel with a wifi-repeater. About as Green Acres as you can get)
Foxfi is working again. Got up and tried this morning expecting the same checking for subscription message but to my surprise it worked exactly as normal. No updates or anything. Keep it up Foxfi Your Awsome!!
