I bought a note 2 running on us cellular but whenever you call out or do anything calling related verizons automated voice comes on. I bought the phone for 50 bucks and its 9/10 condition so i figured if i cant get it to work the phone its self works perfectly. But now that i invested around 8 or 9 hours trying to figure out why i cant do anything and why verizon comes on a US cellular phone. But If anyone could help me out it would be great. The phone is indeed rooted running 4.4.2 and i have acess to supersu and i have CWM 6.0 something. Any ideas?

So after having this g2x for 2 years now I decided to Root it, all was well, it could access wifi and basically run like a phone without being connected to a plan (I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3). Well after rooting it and whatnot my girlfriend broke her ipod touch so I offered to give it to her and to put it on Net10 because my job now sells it. But when I put the SIM card in that's when things kind of went down hill, the phone, whenever I would place a call would start clicking and when I answered it with my phone the clicking continued on my end as well. I called Net10 Customer service and they didn't really help, so I put it back to stock everything except for the recovery menu. Still it doesn't work, the dude said that the t-mobile towers were having problems and that, that was the problem. I don't know if I trust that because my phone plan is with T-Mobile and I was talking with him just fine. So enough about my issues and on to the questions. Are there any Net10 friendly ROMs available and if so what are they? Is it the g2x that's being stupid or is it the network? Also my data stops working after I put in the Net10 APN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To answer a question that I know some of you might have, yes I'm a rooting/ROM noob but I did it on my Galaxy S3 and it works like a charm. Thank you for your time.

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

hey guys I did something terrible to my phone.. good thing rooted it /custom rom android pissing on a apple splash screen on net 10 network. all was good well till my mms stop sending and receiving pic.. got frustrated trying to fix the problem with customer service ..anyway was trying to reset phone and take custom rom off, every time I reset it same splash screen rom and no mms...so I went in to recovery mode delete all files sytem every thing....bad move.. put phone into usb mode installed new rom complete that.. rebooted it and jus sits on on blu logo screen...cricket has my phone for the weekend to try and get it back working.. but , in the event they can't fix it--is there any thing I can do to restore it.. can't use odin or aio wont show port numbers ..omg..help please ..thanks in advance ps.after installing new rom and rebooted it said root is missing?idk

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.
I have a Samsung S7 Active G891A running 7.0 and found what I thought was a good root for it. I ran Odin and flashed the G891A_ENG_ROOT_B2_QB2_7.0, everything went good and it restarted. I noticed it said Custom on the boot screen and it came up normal. I went to install Superuser from Google play store and it does not detect root access. I am also getting the Security Log Agent notice about Unaurthurized actions detected. When I reboot it says installing update and then boots on up. Am I missing something? I really need root so I can run my Hotspot with unlimited data since that is our current internet. It worked great with my S5 and I was getting 4-5mbps before I switched phones. Amy help would be greatly appreciated, I have been a Technology Director for local school district for 20 years so I'm tech savvy but Windows is a lot different than Android lol.
I figured out what the problem was!
I didn't have the OEM Switch on, I now have a rooted AT&T G891a S7 Active running Android 7.0. I also downloaded the tetherprovisioning.apk cracked and replaced mine so that my Hopspot is working with Cricket unlimited Internet. WooHoo
So the phone itself, as stated is a MetroPCS branded Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL, and according to metro it is in fact UNLOCKED. It is on the latest update of the stock rom from metro I believe (Android Lollipop 5.1.1 ). so that, as far as i can tell is not the complete issue however I'm wondering if it being from metro is contributing to the issue at hand. I am using Mint Sim/Mint Mobile, they have amazing coverage in my area that I myself experienced for a week, so I'm almost positive it is not a coverage issue. Now down to the bare bones of the problem:
I got this phone about two weeks ago now, bought it in "unlocked" "New, Other" Condition on eBay from the seller Cellfeee. Had to use the unlock app when I got it but it went through fine, with no issues. Fast forward I activate my new sim, put it in the phone and experience great coverage for about a week and a half. Phone was lovely. Fast forward more, around 8:30 pm on August 29 2018 I lost service completely. Start journey into google. I have done the following:
Taken out the sim
restarted the phone
tried the sim in other devices
factory reset the phone
rooted the phone, removed metro apps and apn
done *#4636# I don't know how many times
messed with every mobile and wifi setting possible
the only time I have gotten service back was last night around 10, the phone had no wifi connection and it seemed to pick up a very strong signal that faded while i watched.
I have determined that It is NOT the sim card, I have determined it is most likely not the hardware, the only thing left that I can think of is either the ROM or the modem firmware itself. My question is, do any of you think that flashing a custom rom onto the phone could cure this? is there a way to find the most recent stable firmware for the modem and update/downgrade it to that? I've already cut my losses and bought a new phone through alcatel on their amazon link so it's not like i'm completely screwed but honestly I'm so irritated with this phone and I just want concrete answers/results at this point. any suggestions welcome. thank you for your time.
Edit: The service provider in the top corner was mint while the phone was working. after it began to fail it switched to either no service OR metropcs, now it often says metropcs even when no service don't know if this makes a difference

uuuhh ... this is just a shot in the dark here but have you tried the apn settings ??
Ok... here is the story... I owned galaxy tab s2, s3, s4 and now own s6... all lte with regular phone call capabilities.... from s2 to s6 have the same annoying problem... incoming phone calls and sms stop working randomly (lte always works)... yes on all devices! Long time ago, when i bought s2 to use as a phone, I thought "ok, it is not a real phone, and it is from south korea will wait to s3 (i live in the usa and use t mobile)".... then bought s3... same problem... S4 same and s6 same! Im very frustrated... all these are 1000 dollar tablets! How it is possible this problem happen on all devices through years...
I detected this problem because, when my phone is turned off, all calls are forwarded to my wife's phone... and one time we were dining and she received a call, but my phone was turned on and the caller was calling to me... weird... then... I call my phone with skype from my pc and again call was forwarded to my wife's phone... the only thing that fixed this is turning off and on the tablet...
4 years ago (or more) have been asking in forums, tried to call samsung usa (they even didn't know this tablet with phone exist) and nothing.... obviously did like 100 factory reset... and rooted (not the s6) all devices and messed up a little bit with some configuration like volte and so... but nothing... problem persisted 4 years ago till today...
You sure its not a samsung account problem. Maybe it linked itself to your wifes phone number on one of those tablet and now its acting strange. Have you tried logging in online into your samsung account. Maybe there is a setting with linked phone number or perhaps an "old device list"/"linked devices" where you can delete all linked devices and then log it back in on your device.
Also if that all isnt possible maybe try a new samsung account?

When I was looking to buy the S6 I started looking at the wifi model first and noticed that the phone software was installed...even thought it was the wifi model. I had never noticed this on earlier tablets and was under the impression that in the US we weren't allowed by the carriers to use the tab as a phone like they can overseas. So when I saw the software installed on the S6 wifi I decided to wait until the LTE model was available from T-Mobile. Finally it was released so I went into T-Mobile and before purchasing I asked them if I were to put my phones SIM into the tab if I would be able to have the phone working since the software was installed on the tab. I was told that it might work for a few days, but the system would eventually detect that it was a tablet and automatically disable that function and the phone would no longer work on the tab. They did however say that if I had a Galaxy phone that it would work through the phone to receive and make calls, but only if the phone was close and connected to the tab ( By wifi or Bluetooth I guess) So I thought that is ridiculous...Why would I pay $729 for the 128GB LTE version and not be able to put in the SIM from my phone and use it that way? When I can get the wifi 256GB version for about $100 less and just tether that to my phone when away from wifi to get onto the web. Anyway...That's the route I took since I wasn't going to be able to use the phone function without a Galaxy phone anyways according to T-Mobile. All these years and we still can't have true phone function on our tabs here in the US, but they can overseas for some reason.

Mine works great!.... when it works... 80% of the day... carrier never disabled the phone calls... or at least that is what i think,... i dont think carrier disconnect my tab just a few times a day.... this solves just with a reset or a network reset... have another solution that works great... i have set up a google voice account, with a second number, and, set on call forwarding, that, when phone is out of signal of shut down it forward to google voice number... that number works on lte so ir works like a charm... but it is not an elegant solution...
I think next year should buy the tmo version and go all calls through lte, phone number with google voice and that is solved...
Just think what i feel... how frustrated i am... 5 years with this problem! the only tab did not had this problem was the first S, just S, (tab s with no number) tmo never help me... samsung usa never help me.... they only told me "do a factory reset" with all my patience anwer "i did like 100 factory reset already" but they told me "ok but make a factory reset" i knew all the time they will never help...
My last hope would be to talk with someone at samsung south korea from a high tech support, but cant get anyone talking in english
The final question is am i the only guy in usa that uses a s6 lte as a phone? or there are other people using a s6 as a phone and dont have this problem?
Thanks for your time

I remember the Tab S.... Still have mine sitting on a shelf somewhere LOL. There was a developer that put a phone rom out for it and with a little hacking I was able to use it as a phone with a Bluetooth set. I remember going into a T-Mobile store with it and they couldn't believe I was using it as a phone LOL. I had it in one of the Otterbox cases with the belt clip so it worked out well for awhile but just as a novelty to see peoples reactions LOL.
