Hello its been awhile since i have posted on here. Anyway i have a photon 4g thats unlocked and rooted and all that running pageplus. Now the other day i think one of my kids got ahold of my phone. When the phone starts now i get a nag screen from Sprint wanting me to activate my phone on their network. I can cancel out of it and my phone works fine. The other thing my phone is doing is its constantly stuck in roaming mode and the symbol no matter if im local or not stays on. Im not running any other operating systems on this phone only the stock one. Can anyone help me get rid of the roaming symbol and the sprint activate your phone screen please.
I'm interested to hear how this goes because I have my wife's line on Pageplus, and I'm thinking about moving my Photon to them once my Sprint contract expires. You might have to do a factory reset. When you activated your phone, did you have to send it in by mail or is there a store that did it for you?
i can do the work for you remotely. only problem is i charge for my services and i dont think xda likes tha so im not going to say anymore

I have been running custom roms on my droid since the root explot was first discovered, and I have a rooted xoom as well. Last night I rooted my thunderbolt and installed the debloated rom. I don't think it is even related to my problem, as it still worked fine after doing this, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I removed the sim card today, just to prove to my brother that it did indeed have a sim, and after reinsertation, my thunderbolt has not been able to connect to a data network. I do not live in a 4g area, and I have tried reseating the sim several times. I can make phone calls, wifi works fine, but I cannot get the 3g icon, and the browser won't load if not on wifi.. I'm starting to get scared. I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?
EDIT 1: I have intermittent 1x data, but I never get 3g. And when I say intermittent, I mean I get it like right after a call for maybe a minute, then it goes away.

I had this same issue as well when I removed and reinserted my SIM card. When I booted back up I was stuck on 1xRTT. After making a call, they phone locked back on to LTE and everything was good after that. If it still isn't working I would recommend giving Verizon a call. They may be able to reactivate it. I did notice that the problem persisted even though I flashed a couple different roms on the device. I'm thinking it probably isn't a great idea to remove and insert the SIM if you don't have to.
Just an update,
I spent 2.5 hours at the effing verizon store today after spending an hour on the phone. Even after all that time, and giving me a new SIM, they STILL couldn't get my TB to connect to 3g. They said that it might magically start working at midnight for no particular reason, but had no clue what to do (I was actually at a corporate store btw) If it doesnt start working tonight, I am going back tomorrow. I have no idea what the hell is up. I am very tech savvy, and this is just insane. It must be a verizon problem in my area that it wont let the phone reactivate for the 3g/4g
Ok, so i'm new to this whole android thing and came up on a TB. Sorry for the noobness of this...i did a search, but couldn't find anything relating to my problem. hoping someone could give some advice.
I tried to activate it the other day and it took some time to activate(i guess Verizon's network was down), but the 4g LTE was fully functioning. Phone was recognized on my account at verizon and everything checked out.
however, when i tried to make a phone call, i got the message 'welcome to verizon wireless. your phone number is not active or invalid'. one thing i did notice was the roaming triangle above the signal bars. btw, i did try contacting verizon and they didn't know what was going on..they kept blaming the downed network.
i couldn't get it to work so i had to switch back to my whackberry.
Anyone know what the problem is and how to activate it? any advice would be awesome!
thanks for the help in advance!
Might need a new sim card...

i tired two sim cards already...no luck.
I recently called sprint via line2 on wifi about how I no longer get Verizon roaming (I make a phone call and a verizon message pops up saying can't auth code) when in northern Pennsylvania but I used to before I got s-off and flashed gbsense deck rom .2 I called sprint they blamed my phone but I flashed rooted latest update to my moms Evo shift she's having the same problem any ideas guys(and girls)?
I'm kind of confused but it sounds like you want to roam on a Verizon tower and now that you can't you cannot make any calls? As for the Sprint rep don't worry about it unless your talking to advanced tech support they really don't know what their talking about and usually just don't have the correct answer. It sounds like when you were on deck's sense rom you got better coverage maybe because the rom had an updated radio and your stock rom had an outdated radio...not sure, have you tried flashing the latest radio to your phone? Also try a data profile update followed by a PRL update on your phone when inside your home and see if that helps your signal.

the solution is to have adv tech support reprogram your phone...
I don't want to reprogram or turn my phone in so my mom is ditching root and giving it in
Reprogramming your phone takes just a few minutes your don't have to turn your phone in

LOL just call sprint and tell them you are getting error code 16 when you try to dial out which in turn they will re-provision your phone takes all of 2 mins.
Sorry im kinda noob at this whole thing thank you so much for not being a bunch of a holes about this cause my mom wouldn't stop bothering me about not getting service you guys were SO much help thank you ffor you're time everybody (im also new to the forums)
I had the exact same issue a couple of days after rooting. As previous poster said just call sprint and tell them your getting error 16. Re provision does the trick.
yep had the same problem after s-off....just call and ask to have your phone reset on the network.
after a battery pull you will get roaming again.
Hey guys =[ so i bought a used galaxy on ebay, the guy told me that it only work for sprint, and that's what i need, so the phone arrive today in the morning i went to sprint to deactivate mine which is evo 4g, and activate the samsung, but then when they activate it, like i could make calls but 5 mins later it disconnect itself from sprint, they tried to connect it like 3 times more but then the same problem, they told me to go to another store, and in that store they told me that possibly the phone was flashed before to another carrier and then they unroot it, so thats why it got disconnect from sprint after a lil while , so idk the phone right now it has the stock rom, on the home screen when it's lock it even says Sprint, so idk what to do, please guys help me, or How can i know if this phone was flashed before??? thank you and please help me
Preface I am not an android fan at all....Despise it, but my mom uses Android and is having some issues and I can use some help/advice
She has had the desire 610 for about 3 or so months now, using it on At&t Gophone. She has been moderately happy with the phone aside from the camera. However, as of late she seems to be having some issues here lately with the data.
Sometime, even when she is out in the middle of the city with 4G her data is not working at all...No FB notifications, No Emails, etc etc and then suddenly they will come back in.
Twice(including tonight) she has found herself lost because her Google navigation crashes/closes and wont work(her words....I am not entirely sure the issue). However, when she showed me just now the GPS worked fine when I typed in the location.
I did call Att a few weeks back and they told me to turn the mobile data off for a few seconds and then back on...that somehow fixed it.
She said she tried to do that and turn the phone off and then back on and it still wasn't working. She claims it works fine when she gets back home...she keeps saying it is because of the wifi and I am like "No wifi has nothing to do with it"
Is it her phone(the Desire 610) or the Att gophone service.
We used att postpaid and they are the same company/network and I never had these issues with postpaid but she is having this issues a bit much now with goPhone.
its kinda hard to tell without the phone. I have a 2 year contract with the desire 610 and it works perfectly fine, although it could be a hardware issue, the gophone service or even that the service does not come in good in the city where u live ( which is highly unlikely). my guess is that it would be the plan
