Sure you can but you will still fry your LTE SIM card.
No need to do that on a 4G device.
Hmm I just read that the frying of the sim card is faults....would like to get more of ppls input on this...

Don't do it... your phone updates every time it restarts.

Once again, this is incorrect. It will not damage your sim card in any way. It will simply disconnect. The whole "*228 fries your SIM" thing is from way back from when the Bolt first came out and has since been corrected.
Ok but that still doesn't answer my question....if I'm rooted and running gingerbread custom Rom can I *228 without messing anything up on my phone....

Try it! it will not let you. At least my phone just disconnects.
R u rooted and running a custom gingerbread Rom??

Just tried dialing *228 again for the sake of this thread to see if anything has changed. It still disconnects almost immediately, but now theres a message that says "A Verizon Wireless SIM has activated your service and has updated your phones roaming capabilities". Hope that helps you.

I did it literally just to see if anything had changed since the last time I did it(Which was a genuine mistake when I first got the phone). Nothing has ever happened any time I have dialed *228. If it were to invalidate/fry/immolate/otherwise destroy my SIM, I have extras, as well as two back up phones. I was trying to prove my point that dialing *228 from a 4G LTE device will no longer harm your SIM. Calm down with your insults, brother.

Yes and yes. I'm running Das Bamf 2.1. I really can't stress enough, though, that as far as I can tell, dialing *228 doesn't do ANYTHING either positive or negative other than give the message I posted earlier. I jumped into the testing menu and snooped around and it changes nothing. So unless there's some roaming setting on the network side that I can't see, there's nothing different.

I used mine for almost a day (used wifi only) before I caved in and activated it online. There are quite a few who are doing as you said ..work the phone without activation. As for being in Canada .. can't help you on that problem.

I like your picture of a cat with a helmet.
See because I hate cats (sorry I have my reasons) and to me, a cat with a helmet means I can kick it out of my way and not really 'harm' it because it has protection on it.
Im JK but I do hate cats still.

I don't want to use the phone, I just want to use the features since the nexus s is my main phone to make calls and I plan to tether my nexus to my HTC EVO 3D so I can access all of the internet features.

On setup, just hit back when you get to the first back button...if that does not work...starting in a clockwise fashion...touch the corners of the screen with the top left first then hit the android..this also bypasses the setup feature. It's been a while since I did this..so you might verify doing a google search.
Yes you'll be able to use apps and all that without activating it. Obviously you won't be able to make phone calls. Most android phones don't need activation to get into the OS.

specifically, adding back in the HTTPSD setting fixed it (I had thought RTSP would have fixed it)
Guess i never used youtube enough or never used it while on 3G/4GLTE.
I can confirm that with the edited info on 4G LTE on my EVO LTE that youtube didnt work.
Put the original settings back in and it does work on 4G LTE..
Thanks for pointing that out.
I am having the same problem with my youtube. It used to work a few weeks ago. You guys said you had fixed this problem but I don't really understand what you guys did. i am rooted on MeanRom and am on the Cricket carrier.

Well after going through 4 GNex replacements VZW has decided to send me a HTC DNA to replace it, and it will be here monday.
I am curious as to the two different DNA Development Threads... ?
Can someone explain?
Also as I have been reading threads (still reading now) that the current RUU is unrootable?
Is this still true? ( I may have already got to "that thread" by the time I get an answer)
Just trying to get some info before I delve into it.

Are you referring to the DNA Android Development and DNA Original Android development boards? The first one (loosely speaking) is more for kangs, and roms that are based off of stock, as well as roms that are based off of other people's work (i.e. not fully original work). The original development board is geared towards roms built from source (i.e. AOSP roms), as well as development that introduce original features.

This is false. I recommend using Moonshine to root and unlock your device on the latest update.

You are getting an incredible device my friend. Beautiful screen, lightning fast, and a surprisingly decent battery. Plus we have had an influx of roms since Chad got cyanogenmod working and even more devs since the moonshine s-off solution!

Agreed.
I intentionally moved from the gnex to the DNA, as I had a coupon to get it for free and I felt the deal couldn't be beat.
After a slow start (as s-off wasn't available yet) when I first got it, I am now absolutely thrilled with it and couldn't be happier.
Performance is so much better than the Gnex, it's ridiculous.

4G is a-ok. I had a Gnex once upon a blue moon and the differences are staggering. I found the screen to be dark and brooding no matter how high the brightness was set. On the DNA, even at low brightness the colors seem to pop. You'll be more than happy.

Have you tried to ruu it? Maybe that will help. Also try after ruu going into stock recovery and factory reset from there. It fixed my radio when I was stuck on roaming... Maybe it will help you. Also have you tried reseating the sim card? Those have been known to be very touchy on our phones

What PRL are you currently on?
Also, keep in mind that your PRL has to do with roaming, so it shouldn't have any bearing on sending text messages (unless you're roaming). Your issue could be with Sprint and their service in your area, and not with the phone itself.

Also, the issue may not be on your end-it may lie with whoever is sending you texts.

If you get that error you can try updating first over WiFi. I'd also do a reboot first. Once that works you can call sprint and they will refresh your connection on their side.

There are usually many quick fixes for me when that happens, such as toggling airplane mode, rebooting, wiping and flashing my rom.

I think I was having the same problems back on my Blackberry, Sprint had to reconfigure my service or something, I can't really remember. But if nothing you do with PRLs/Phone systems then contact them to see if they just need to re-provision your line or something along those lines.
