So just heard the news about Google pushing out android device manager. A new find my phone feature. It arrived as an ota by Google. I'm s-off running evilution. Under settings -> security -> device administrators is where it is located. So just an fyi for all you faithfuls still lingering around these neck of the woods.
Visit: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
First check in settings -> security -> device administrators to verify google has pushed it to you as seen here. Check mark it to install.

Here's what I get.
Gonna try a different ROM.
Edit: OK I've tried this with GPS on/off, mobile data on/off, 3G/4G, different WiFi locations, and also clean flash of current ROM.
I'm downloading another ROM now to see if that changes anything... If not I guess its my device or something else I'm not seeing.
For what its worth, I am experiencing the same issue as you are. I am currently on slimRom 8.0.

Hmmm, I've got it. I'm on old release of dirty unicorn. I just can't decide if I wanna activate it, it sounds kinda spooky lol . I mean, wouldn't this make it easier for someone else to wipe my device remotely, or set a pin lock I don't know?
What's funny is when I just opened XDA app, on top of the front page was a thread about android device manager, didn't read it.

Same thing happened to me, I pulled my phone out and looked at it and instantly though..
'Crap, I must have accidentally hit update on something..' I'm running Infected Rom, so it seems like this update is across the board... nothing noticeable happened anyway, so I don't think it's much to worry about.
I don't think anyone really needs to worry about it updating. I think it has something to do with your accounts, or service with Sprint. Hasn't anyone of you called Sprint before with a problem with your service, or perhaps your internet isn't working? Well a few times I called with problems with my phone, one thing they did was a service update. It has to do with your service. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it will only better your service. IMHO

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
looks to be a service update. first time it launched i adb rebooted out of it, then as soon as the phone rebooted it started again. think it's network and service since it's the same dialogs as if you update profile - not software - so probably nothing to worry about.
I got it tonight going to WV. I'm on Verizon prl hack since no Sprint service so not sure if its in affect for my town(decatur al)

You aren't using any adfree or ad blocking are you? I think that was an issue with one of those services on the kindle fire, which I have. Once you disabled the ad blocking it worked. I don't use hulu or netflix but have seen threads about it.

I was rooted on my OG Evo with Hulu+ app working. I'm not convinced that is the issue with the Evo LTE.
Has anyone gotten word from Hulu on the error?
Error 93 was the error for rooted devices. This is something different but I think it may have to do with being rooted as well. Oh well, I'll just cancel Hulu.

Ugh, I hate getting a new phone and things don't work right away, I'm getting the error 91 during the first ad myself. I did the one-step root. Hope there's a fix soon. I really like Hulu and it never works right on my Blu-Ray player.
Spoke with customer service and they said it's DRM protection on unlocked phones. Said screw it and did cancel and I'd be back when they remove the useless DRM.
At least netflix works.

Reassuring that they're at least acknowledging the issue and are working on it. "Soon" is not reassuring though. Will make it much easier to clear wallet settings though, instead of having to mess with the build.prop all the time :s
Thoughts?
Meh, I've survived 48 years with a conventional wallet and currency, I can last another week or month or whatever without GW.

Those inactivity charges are going to eat into that 10 free dollars they gave out before disabling it.
Anyone else finds it ironic that google wallet dosen't support rooted devices, but the only way to make wallet work is to be rooted?
On a side note I like google wallet, but these are pretty bad growing pains hopefully google wallet can survive them.

Being rooted has never had anything to do with the problem. The only thing I know I did differently prior to it working was doing the marketplace error fix of unsynching gmail and rebooting, then resynching gmail and rebooting.

I use Elixer Widget and the "WiMAX (4G)" toggle.
I goes into "Phone Info". The default selection in"GMS/WCDMA/LTE Auto". I assume you change it to "WCDMA preferred" to use only 4G. Please correct me if Im wrong.
AdAway is a great ad blocker. Google removed it from the play store a few weeks ago. Google f-droid(app store for apps that aren't on Google play), install f-droid all, search for AdAway(no space between words) and install.

Any suggestions for a bone stock HTC One for an ad blocker? Mine is only a day old. And, searching results in nada.

The stock Rom s do not have writing enabled to system so ad blocking does not stick.
Check out the Scotts stock rooted options he enabled writing to system.
