Looking through the menus on the ##778 on the rezound I noticed what was used on the incredible to "hack" into the hotspot capabilities of it. Can we use this for the rezound? as follows..
1. dial ##778 call.
2. edit view - enter password 000000
3. go to security sub menu
and here is where I'm a bit unsure and want to get some insight before trying it out....
4. S.IP DUNN User name
on the incredible for this step you enter [email protected]
on the LTE phones it should be (as it's duplicated above as your ppp user id
[email protected] OR would we stull use [email protected] and have access to this on 3G only?
Would this get us the bypass we need, or is this verification handled onboard with the SIM card?
Just thinking out loud here guys, all input welcome!
I would say try it and post your results
Nope, doesn't work

I used PDAnet all last week, it worked like a champ, great speeds as long as you have a 4g signal. No issues at all.
Oh, Win7.
Ever since I have had the tbolt, I have had Verizon's hotspot work without having it on my plan. I just figured it was promotional, was it not? It works on my rezound as well.

It was a promotional thing, but seems to have stuck to some accounts. One of my accounts still has it, not sure why. I pay for the unlimited hotspot as I am an employee, and I am not much for stealing, but not the line I am speaking of. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is, probably would remove it when changing devices so if you stick with devices that use regular 4G sim cards and not micro sims I would bet it will stick around until its audited off.
that's interesting that the promotion stuck to some accounts . I don't really think of it like stealing I suppose except in the sense that I'm taking advantage of an app Verizon included to be paid for *shrug*. Since I use an app like PDAnet or something else anyways it's not THAT big of a deal. It's just a lot easier to turn on tether and sit down at my computer, or ANY computer. rather than download an app on every pc I would use it on and physically plug in the phone everytime.. not that it would last more than an hour tethered without being plugged up or anything.
anyhow, so as of this point we're at VZ's whim for tethering?
I saw somebody had started a similar thread a week or so ago on this topic, but now I can't find it.
Anyway, as the subject box says, the option to bill to my at&t account is no longer there when purchasing apps via google play. Was wondering if anyone had a new solution or if there are others out there that still can with google play, or can't like myself.
Thank you

It disappeared for me for a few days but it's back now. I was able to buy something yesterday and bill my account. I just checked again and the option is still there.

Has anyone heard anything new about this?
I have contacted both Google and AT&T, both of who claim that there should be no problem, either with my account specifically or the system as a whole.
I only have the "Add Card" option.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on AT&T
I too only see the "Add Card" option. So it isn't only you.
I use the option often, and it's still there for me.
I saw the same thread the OP saw a week or so ago, and I remember thinking to myself that it could be missing if you have a custom non stock rom flashed. Would be news to me as I've had custom roms on other phones before and never had a problem. I could be wrong though as I'm definitely not a dev.
I had this option disappear on me, and I've never used a custom ROM on my Infuse. I did root the device, though.
When u use custom Rom it tends to happen but its very rare BUT clear ur market data and go into market it will ask you to log back in. That should work if not let me know

Still missing
I have been fighting this issue since Feb 21st.
I have reset my phone back to factory settings 2 or 3 times and had the sim card changed twice. Still the bill to mobile option is missing. It worked fine and showed up every time until Feb 21st of this year and nothing I do seems to fix it. Strange things is some of my coworkers have the Samsung Skyrocket and can bill to mobile with no problems. Has anyone any real info on whats going on or what the real issue is??

I need more info than that to help u. Are u rooted if so what Rom u using or are u stock?
on Sprint, you had to be a "A" customer, with a year or more of perfect payments to even have a chance of being able to bill to your carrier; if you are new to ATT, or have poor credit, it won't work for you..
My info
It is right out of the box.
I have done nothing to it other than use
as it would normally be used.
So I guess it is stock. No idea how to root a phone.

cant bill to account
same problem, rooted SGSII Skyrocket, completely stock. i used the feature a couple times, then... "poof" its gone. i read some of the replys and i missed a bill one day by mistake and im not sure if thats what did it or not but that was 5 months ago. there are no purchase blocking services on my account, but i cant be totally sure because customer service is closed, so i plan on calling in the morning to find out if there are any hidden services seeing as it is AT&T. im determined to find out why i cant bill things to my account; because i dont use credit cards its quite inconvenient if i want to purchase something. if i figure this out ill be sure to post on this thread and/or make a new one on how to hunt down the solution.
I had a similar problem but I believe it has something to do with the ROM you are currently running. I have seen the option on some roms and not in others.

Well that's the thing, my phone is completely stock except for that it's rooted. And it worked when it was rooted too because I bought "android over clock" coincidentally on February 21, the same day I believe someone mentioned the ability to bill to the account, disappeared.
Well I called att and to no avail. They where as or more clueless to my issue at hand. So I'm stuck behind a brick wall now.

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.
Do you guys happen to have your browsers synced to chrome on your pc? My wife, and I share our search history through chrome. If you look in google now, it displays your search history from your browser as well. This could be it, though I am just taking a stab at it.

Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.

Well, I thought it was Google associating the Verizon account or something. But, turns out, it was definitely something local to the phone. This has been going on for a while for me, and I finally got tired of it, so I completely factory rest my phone. That finally cleared it up. However, I want to stress, I'm 100% sure I didn't have my wife's account logged into my phone. She's crazy about security and changes her password every couple months (last time was last week, and the issue has been going on longer than that, so it's literally impossible).
I will say, at some point in the past I did have her account on there when we needed to get access to her email for something. My current theory is that there was still a "ghost" of the account still on there somehow associated with Chrome. But really, I'm just grasping at straws. All I know is a factory reset fixed it.

The ghost file theory makes no sense / isn't plausible for my situation. I completely wipe and factory reset my phone at least once a month for ROM purposes. I have never have used her phone for any personal accounts or anything like that. She does not even have the Chrome app on her phone.
Something else is up with this. . .
Is it just me or does this seem like a somewhat serious issue?

So I am in the UK on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network. My wife and I both have Nexus 4s. When she searches on her phone it comes up in my google now but not in hers! The only link we have is that I ordered her phone from my Google account.
The phone itself was registered and has only ever been used with her account though. Could it be because we're on the same WiFi network?
I suppose a solution was never found?
This just started happening with me and my girlfriend. I have a nexus 4 and she has an iPhone 4s. I'm on T-Mobile, she's on att. My searches do not show up on her phone. And something she searched on her phone while stuck in traffic also showed up on my phone when I wasn't anywhere near her. Though I suppose it could've been some sort of WiFi sync when she got home. Anyone still trying to figure this out?

Afraid not. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, the two never cross polinate.
I think I would have worked that out by now. I have never signed in on her laptop.
But, when she searches on her phone, it comes up in my google now.
Something I find with google now is it doesn't show searches from the phone's chrome browser as suggestions, just those from other devices. For some reason it thinks her phone is one of my devices. It doesn't think my phone is one of hers though?
So Mr WolfePack, now solve the case!

Im thinking the same thing lol.
This is just a heads up to anyone thinking about buying roam control. I purchased it a few weeks ago, then had to clear my rom and reinstall everything. Now I can't get it to reactivate through the verification process.
No response from emails I have sent the developer. I might push the issue with PayPal.
Just letting people know.
Update: New version fixes the problem.

If you activated via paypal they sent you an email with your activation code.
Search your inbox for "Roam Control" and you'll find the activation code.
Hope you saved it...

I've had that issue before. It took a day or so before my code was sent back. By any chance did you have the app backed up with Titanium Backup Pro? With the pro version you can restore your device id(that some app licenses are attached to) which gets wiped on fresh installs. I had this issue 2x's with Roam control and went ahead and purchased Titanium Pro. Haven't had an issue since.

I do have titanium backup, but my backups were over written by the time I realized rc wasn't going to play move with rom flashing. It's a shame too since other apps don't seem to have this problem with device ids.

Yeah Roam Control is the only one that does that for me. I assume it's because it's purchased outside of the Play Store.
I just bought Roam Control on 5/28/13 using PayPal and the activation code I was sent (automated system) does not work. I have sent TWO e-mails to the developer without a reply! !
I have to say I have two codes and neither are working. Just bought one for a different phone 5/29/13 and I'm not getting any response either.
Add me to the mix. Unresponded emails. Working in the past now since updating ROM, no-go!!
Huh, that's sad to see. I bought Roam Control last year (or longer, don't remember how far back exactly.) and messed with it for a few days. This was right after Google started the 15min preview crap.
I emailed the developer, explaining I had forgotten about the 15min preview cap and that the app wasn't working for me, saying that roaming was getting exactly the same amount of signal strength in my area, defeating the purpose of roaming, and he gladly refunded me the next day and explained how he understood and how he doesn't really like the 15min cap either.
Hope you guys get sorted and he's just on vacation or something.
I have used it when I was with sprint and I can still use it when I use CDMA but I bought it through the android market. Bought it almost 2 1/2 years ago.

Geeze....seeing so many of you guys having so many issues with getting activation codes ans whatnot I just went and double archived on 2 different email accounts the last one I got since obviously I can't rely on getting another one from the dev.
The codes aren't working is the issue. So if you flash new roms you're code will no longer work when you reinstall the roam control app.

Oh.....I've also had that issue in the past too. It's nothing new really(except for you guys that haven't happen before). Got it working eventually even though it was a total PITA. It's really just so frustrating that you'll NEVER get a response from the dev.

your lucky . mine stole far more thank this......... She stole my heart. ...... In case she see's this lol
I'm not sure if this problem is isolated to me or if it affects everyone, so I thought I'd ask.
tl;dr: text messages don't persist on the phone, and in Google Messenger in particular, outgoing texts don't display as part of the conversation.
I use Google Messenger by default, and I noticed that none of the text messages I sent were appearing in the conversation history. Turns out, they weren't reaching the recipients either.
I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

Same here. Verizon's messaging app works though, and actually seems half decent.
Yep just got off phone with VZ support and that is the workaround (use Verizon Messages Plus) they are doling out as a fix to the problem, says tech will be getting in touch with Sony for fix and may be another small update for it.
Lots of reddit users are having the same issue. If you're up for it, it looks like a factory reset will fix the problem.
Had to do a frigging factory reset, but all works well now

FDR sucks, wife will not be happy. I have a replacement phone to activate replacing the one I just updated, so will activate then do factory reset.
Bites.
Is anyone else having tissues access visual voicemail?

Did a factory data reset on new phone after update, takes a long time to boot sets at check mark screen for several minutes, standard text does work now.
Factory reset does fix text
I haven't had many phones. I'm assuming this doesn't happen to often, cause this is crazy. What if only 10% of you having update issues needed your phone for work? How can companies stay in business doing this kind of thing?

If it is a company supplied phone I would think that any modifications would be forbidden, any good IT department would be on top of any shananagans as such. I'm IT for the corporate office I work at (don't be impressed, I'm the office Alphageek and won the title by default.) and when corporate supplied the phones they maintained tight rein over the units. Now we are "bring your own device". As such if your phone is critical for your job and you bork it I would expect corporate to tell you to fix the problem ASAP even if it means buying another phone.

That must have you hopping all over the place like a rabbit trying to fix everyone's issues. But I was speaking more about Verizon's consumer base relying upon their phones in general.

My bad, I see your point now. For an official update this one has created a world of grief for many that installed it via the "official" route. Usually a factory reset is a last resort to many and apparently for this update it looks like a required step.
[EDIT] Just checked the official Verizon forums. People are struggling with the same problems that are being posted here. It looks like a couple have figured out a factory reset works and are trying to spread the word, there is very little Verizon help showing up.

A few years ago it did back when we were running a mix of name brand systems (Dell, Gateway and HP). I would say it occupied 30-50% of my time, since then we have standardized on Dells running Windows 7. That is a bulletproof combination in an office environment. I know everyone bad mouths Dells but since we with Dell/Win 7 my workload has dropped 90%.

I think the textra app also works if you would want to try that before resetting.

Thanks, but already did the FDR, wasn't to bad, just time consuming. FDR does fix the problem though.

Do you realize that the text issue is completely unrelated to any "modification". This phone was "borked" by a VZ-pushed OTA. I had to do a factory reset last night, lost my corporate e-mail set up through Touchdown. I also missed communications previously, while I was unaware of the texting issue. Those texts are just "gone" now. This is very poor form on the part of VZ, not even checking that texting will continue to work after users upgrade.

I wasn't implying you goofed up your phone, just following up on AddictedtoGlass's comments, sorry if it came across that I was.
Yeah, this update does seem to be causing more grief than usual. That may be keeping with the comments I stumbled across in Verizon's forums claiming that the code sent to Verizon by Sony wasn't "up to snuff" in Verizon's opinion and that is why Verizon sit on the update so long. Looks like they should have sit on it a little bit longer. I'm on 5.0.2 and my phone is pretty stable so I'm content to stay there until this is all straightened out, if ever.
I have been trying to find more info on Verizon's community forums but they have managed to make their forums so hard to navigate now that finding particular threads is almost impossible. I guess that is one way of controlling the flood of complaints.
