So I had my phone replaced because I was having cell/data issues and slow 3g downloads,so I got my replacement and it is doing the exact same thing. An app from the market will take up to 10 minutes to download,i just dont unserstand what is going on here. Any ideas? And this is on stock ed05. Getting about 10kbps downloads! It is ridiculous.
I am starting to think it is something with my google accmt or my sd card, would either of these effect this?

If you ever have problems with data, you can log onto Verizon wireless and swap esn numbers. Use one from an old smartphone or try changing one number at a time until you find one that works, then swap it back to the right number.

Ok guys anyone out there who can help me when i go to settings then about phone status in the my phone number its not there ?
Im pretty sure thats to do with your sim card. I had that issue a while back.
And the way I fixed it was put it in an old nokia. And save the number as you. Or something along those lines. You can google it and it should be easy enough to find.

I did update the number in my sim card when i had a nexus one with CM7 on it. Somewhere in the menus, CM7 had this possibility.
Try to search about this on the nexus forums, maybe you get a better hint

Have you flashed anything on your phone? If so dial *#06# and verify that you still have your IMEI. Don't post what your IMEI is though. There's been some reports of flashing causing IMEI's of all zeroes. If you do have a zero IMEI, take a look at the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arzp20hXNPi4dFg3UUozS2FQaERYNVJRVm1hWmJYQ3c#gid=0 , and give me your information and I'll fill it in. We're trying to find a common denominator to hopefully find a fix.
I do not have a number 0 I in fact have quite a lengthy number, I have recently flashed a ROM today and am curious if that is the issue

Got the same notification problem, IMEI ok.
Any ideas?
Stock, non-rooted T-Mobile user here and I get the same thing sometimes but it's rare. I am curious to know how to permanently disable it, too.

I have an Unlocked Verizon Note 2 I was wondering how do I stop VZW Demo App for re-installing itself. I keep uninstall it but re-install itself minutes later. My sister got it off craigslist, so I'm stuck with the phone. Is it possible to root it and put it on a different rom or install a stock rom to it?
Edit: Just realize post this in the wrong section some one please move it to the right one please.

Thats what I thought also, but it would have a bad esn if that were the case. Factory wipe it, and if that doesnt work, ordin back to stock.

Not to hijack a thread, but does Verizon actually block lte phones that are lost and stolen? Or is it like gsm where it will still work with a good SIM?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Seeing as they still have IMEIs im pretty sure they can be blocked if they are reported. I have read in the GS3 forums where some guys had gotten the phone off ebay or craiglist and VZW woupdnt activate it dues to it being reported stolen. They didnt have a 4g sim card though and were trying to get VZW to send them one so while that still leaves it uo in the air...
Im pretty sure if you use a phone on VZW that is reported stolen then they will block it and contact you, and im pretty sure theyd be able to even tho we use sim cards in 4g phones now.
When the first iphone came out I got one, I was young and stupid, and it got stolen within a month. When i called AT&T and reported it stolen they told me that it had been activated on a different account and that they were blocking it off of their network permanently and would contact the user and ask them to return it. I dont know what ever came of it cause they were supposed to contact me if they got it back, I assume they didn't, but even they could block a phone permanently back then sooo......

Need to remove VZW app. Can someone help?
Remove VZW Demo App.
you will need to root the device and remove/move 2 System Apps.
location : /system/app/
Apps to move/remove:
com.customermobile.preload.main.apk
com.customermobile.preload.apk
use the following commands
mv com.customermobile.preload.main.apk com.customermobile.preload.main.apk.bk
mv com.customermobile.preload.apk com.customermobile.preload.apk.bk
that should do it.
you can use SafeRoot for the Note 2.
then you can uninstall the VZWDemo app in Settings/Applications/All.
Good Luck
this is a super old thread, but the question still remains. I purchased an OLD LG Intuition, it has the VZW Demo app on it. Everytime i delete it, it redownloads itself when I connect to wifi. Anybody know how to stop it redownloading?
install app freezer with no root, check google play for any app freezer which doesnt needs root
I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

So after a week same problem. Everything just stopped. This really pisses me off since I can't use my S3. I am back on my Captivate for the time being and it sucks now that I have experienced the S3. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.
