I own the LG v10 h960a. I'm using the phone in Canada on the Telus network and trying to set up my credit and debit cards in the Scotiabank mobile wallet. Although this phone is not listed as compatible (duh, it's not sold in Canada) my phone/nfc works perfectly with CIBC (no tweaking involved). Just for fun, to get it recognized with Scotiabank's app, I changed two lines in the build.prop file to trick the app into thinking my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5. Lo and behold, the mobile wallet appeared and allowed me to add my debit and credit cards. The problem is that they won't process, likely because it can't confirm carrier (telus) and phone number. I've called Scotia Bank 10 times and nobody can figure out why the cards are hanging on processing since the cards are verified on their end.
Does anybody know any lines in the build.prop file that can be safely changed to reflect telus as the carrier, and any other lines that would need to be changed for the fake phone info? Some setting on the phone is clearly blocking Scotia Bank from processing my debit and credit cards for use with their mobile wallet app.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers ��

Sorry for the length, but proper context seems necessary. Normally when you activate a phone at AT&T they give you the card that the SIM was punched out of, right? When I bought my S4 a couple of months ago, they gave me the card. I also asked around and other people I know say that they were also given the card (the credit-card sized card that the sim is punched from) when activating through at&t. Well, I went to at&t the other day to have another phone activated (an iPhone). I wasn't signing a contract or anything, just activating another phone on my account. They had no problem adding another line to my account but there was an issue that prevented the sales rep from activating the sim card. He kept trying and trying and it just wouldn't work. For some reason, it needed a manager and not just a floor manager but a store manager. After trying multiple times, I had to wait for a manager to come and activate the sim from a computer terminal (rather than the iPads which are normally used). I was told this problem is rare but happens from time to time (with a fake smile). Anyway, after activating the sim card, the manager waived the $35 activation fee (awesome!). I was all set to go, activated phone in hand and I went to grab the card that the SIM was punched from, but the manager quickly grabbed it and told me "No, these don't go to customers -they get shredded. As a matter of fact, I'll go shred it now," and she carried it off back to her office. I wasn't persistent or anything. Now I'm not a paranoid person but I just got a gut feeling that something was amiss in how that was handled. My gut told me something wasn't right. So I have a couple of questions:
1.) Is at&t now shredding all of the cards that the SIMs are punched from (with all of the info) instead of giving them to the customer? Is that normal at&t procedure to shred the SIM punch-out cards? It would seem like a logistical nightmare to be SOP.
2.) Can any kind of fraud or surveillance result from someone having that card? Am I in danger from fraud or extra-surveillance (from local authorities, as opposed to the all-sweeping NSA) for instance?
3.) Is this normal at&t procedure? Should I be suspicious, or even worried?
Input from anyone with knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Just got my TS developer edition after waiting forever for it.
Tried searching and couldn't find info.
Anyone able to use this with the free 200 mb plan from TMobile?
Requires you already have a line of service with T-Mo according to them.
T-Mobile website
All tablet customers are entitled to the 200MB/month free data for life offer, as long as they have active Mobile Internet accounts. And if you’re a well-qualified voice customer on a qualifying postpaid Mobile Internet plan, you’re also eligible to get $0 down (EIP) on tablets even if you’re just on the free data ($0 MRC On Demand rate plan*, without purchasing additional data).

The T-Mobile $30 5gig 100min plan is maybe a better deal. Get the prepaid one day they are offering them free. You won't get faster than H+ speed with the TrueSmart, but that's pretty good anyway.

No, its free for all. Signing up for the free plan qualifies you for that requirement
I'm betting that it won't work on omate. Tmobile uses imei white listing to determine which devices qualify. If you put the Sim in a tablet which is not part of the list, you won't get it either

Thanks. I'm asking because I'm curious if anyone else has had luck with actually being able to sign up and use it. I had heard about only specific devices being qualified, like nexus and ipad. wasn't sure if we were eligible.
Hoping someone sees this and can anser definitively.
I walked in to a Tmobile store a couple of days ago and got a sim for the free 200 meg add-on (I was already a customer). I just tried it, and do have web access on the TS. I didn't try anything too heavy or non-http, but I was able to load up xda in chrome on h+.
I am a pre-paid customer with T-Mobile. I wonder if I can get a sim like that for an emergency data sim ?

Didn't know that... I have a T-Mo SIM here that I intended to use in my TS. I'll try it out later once I'm done checking out the watch and ready to break my warranty coverage to insert the SIM.

you could just buy/get another sim card from t-mobile. $10 (or $0.99 or free), depending on what promotion t-mobile has.
believe they have an expiration date, but it should be far away so that you can keep the sim for emergency use

tablets need to be on that list
I might try when I get home. have a couple of prepaid unused t-mobile SIMs, though I bought them under the "phone" label rather than the "internet data-only" label.... which sim do you have?

Mine is a SIM Starter Kit for GSM phones (was like $10 shipped). Haven't used it anything yet, so I'll see if it works.
I can confirm that they use IMEI whitelisting, though there might be some social engineering you can do to get your Omate's IMEI listed.
I ordered an internet only microSIM and called to activate it. Operator asked for my IMEI in the process of registration (gave him my iPad1's). Once it was all done I popped the SIM into the watch and it connected to T mobile fine (H+) but wouldn't connect to the internet (kept getting redirected to mim.t-mobile.com).

I didn't have this problem, I asked for a Sim at a store so I could use a Nexus 7. Said I was gifting to my girlfriend, they activated the Sim for me in the store and it works just fine.
Did you have to bring your tablet in?
IMEI cloning is illegal as he** in the U.S. There's at least 4 three letter agencies that look for this stuff.
It is also against xda rules to even discuss it.

oops my bad

I can confirm that this is against the xda rules and illegal in basically every country that uses the IMEI numbers to blacklist stolen phones.

No I didn't.
My wife bought me the international version of the Samsung Gear S (SM-R750W). She said that she researched and from her understanding it should work on the T mobile network. From what I've found though the consensus seemed to be it would not work, or if it did it would be spotty at best depending on the specific towers/area you were in because Tmobile utilizes different network types in different areas.
I decide to give it a shot anyway and went to the T-Mobile store where I signed up for the wearable plan and got a new nano sim card. I was crossing my fingers but as soon as they put the sim card in the watch it came to life. It looked to be working fine but as I left the store I received a text from T-Mobile stating " the SIM for your wearable devices is in an ineligible device. Services to the SIM are locked until it returned to your eligible wearable device".
I pessimistically started thinking well great, there goes that idea. But as I got into my vehicle I shut my phone down and tried to see if the watch can work on its own as a phone when unencumbered from my Note 4 bluetooth/WiFi data connections. It worked perfectly-I started calling my friends and they couldn't believe I was talking on a watch phone. Several I actually felt the call sound quality was better on the watch speaker phone compared to normally speaking on the Note 4. I called customer service but they told me they couldn't see anything and if it was working fine not to worry about it.
For the next eight or 9 hours it worked perfectly and I was using it a lot. I drove around large swaths of town and neither data nor call experienced even the slightest issue - for once I was happy to be wrong.
Eventually, as I am oft to do, I fell asleep. When I awoke this morning the watch was no longer connected to the network. It gave me a message saying it was unable to connect and did I want to scan for additional networks. I selected yes and it was able to find the T-Mobile and ATT networks. T-Mobile was selected and a "registering" notification was displayed. It took awhile but eventually said it was unable to register with the network.
I call T-Mobile and they said pretty much exactly what I expected them to say -that because it was not a T mobile device they could not ensure proper operation. But he said (and he characterized this as "good news", "light at the end of a tunnel" and "viable solution” Seriously said all 3 things.) I could either forget all about the cellular connection and just use this as a companion device OR go and buy a new Gear S from T Mobile if I really wanted that feature.
I’m truly and utterly baffled that he believed his suggestions merited the positive sayings from above. Never in my lifetime has my head been closer to exploding.
After I was finally able to speak again, I explained that it seemed unlikely to be an issue with the watch. If my Gear S was working perfectly yesterday and can still detect Tmobile & ATT networks, then something on your end seems to be preventing registration. He agree to file a ticket with the engineering team and tomorrow I should hear from them hopefully. He also told me to go and try another nano-SIM, gratis, at the Tmobile store. So today I went and as soon as I put the new card in all systems were go. I assumed that I somehow had received a bad card because here again now, data and voice are connected.
This time I didn’t even make it out of the parking lot before it notified me that that it was again unable to register with the network. There is conflicting information regarding the radio frequencies and bands that the different Gear S models have and I didn’t have high hopes. But then it actually did work, WELL, so any ideas as to what is going wrong?
Imei not recognized as a wearable device by tmo
I am also getting very discouraged with the gear s on tmo.
But I think I finally got a tech person who may have found the problem ,
He said my gear s is no longer registering because the tmo system did not recognize the Imei as a wearable, that's why when I swapped sim with a friends iPhone sim, the gear worked. Because the wearable plan will only work with that device. The rep is asking engineering to add my Imei as wearable, but it has happen yet, he did not know if they could....

I guess that makes total sense, and answers my question if I could just get an Android watch phone at some point and use the same nano SIM that they gave me for my Gear S.
Could you post here if/when they added your IMEI? They were super unresponsive to my request to unlock my original Gear S (which I replaced with an ATT Gear S that ATT kindly unlocked for me), so I have little faith that Tmo are even willing to help their customers, but since I have my plan with them, I'd love to be wrong this time.
Tmo problem
Well I wish I had better news, but it is still not working, I called them back, they say they requested the engineering to add my IMEI , but who's knows if they did, they seem to have very little experience with gear s, it's very frustrating because it did work the first 2 months until I tried the sim in my iPhone. I think I have reached the end of the line ,
I might try closing acct and opening new again...
So can either buy new tmo gear s. And sell my unlocked att gear, or put mine on att,
But. I really liked the Tmo plan, and would probably had switched my other (family) lines to Tmo.
anyone have more ideas?

Maybe try to cancel your wearbales plan, then get one again, with a new SIM and new number?
I would not buy a tmo gear S: they won't unlock it and it costs $50 more. I use an unlocked ATT Gear S on T-mo without issues, but if putting the SIM in another device caused this for you, and the SIM itself is not the problem, they must have some kind of hold/notice on your wearables plan in your account, I think?
I'm planning to buy the z5 compact. Either on eBay or Clove or handtec.
I plan to get att in the us either the share 2gb plan or the 4gb prepaid. Not sure the diff.
Anyways, on the site, when I click "bring my own phone", it asks for the imei, then the mfr model. But there are no Sony phones. What do I choose?
Also I've never bought a phone online and brought my own phone to a carrier before so any tips would be welcome
Well I can tell you the what I did for T-mobile, If your using a prepaid plan, which is what I did, I shouldnt be any different. I bought the Nano Sim Card For my Carrier, Which your looking to get an ATT NANO Sim Card, AT-T-GoPhone-Nano-SIM-Card-with-Standard-and-Micro-SIM-Adapters is what your looking for you can get them at walmart Then get your plan Card. Put the nano sim card in your Z5 compact, located on the side under neath the flap, there is going to be a Black nano sim card holder, ITS TINY, and hard to see, Its smaller then the mirco sd card slots below it. Place the sim card with the gold side facing you. Put the sim card with the holder in your phone. Turn on your phone, and follow At&t activation steps. Then they are going to ask for the Prepaid Plan code, Type it in. Bam you have service, If data doesnt work then you have to call and get the UPDATED API information. or wait a couple of hours
I guess I have done some of that before. When traveling intl, I have bought sim cards and installed them. APN download is usually automatic.
I've never bought a phone from another country and tried to activate it on AT&T. I assume I can buy from anywhere as long as it is (carrier) unlocked. AT&T asks what kind of phone I have in order to send me a sim card. This one isnt on the list. Which should I choose?
Hello. I have bought a phone from one of the carriers in my country (they're everything, internet service providers, telephony-telecommunication for whole country, etc). I pay off that phone monthly, for a year, when my contract ends. With a phone I got a new phone number, their SIM card. Now, if I am to put another SIM card (another phone number) into my phone, it just doesn't recognize it, doesn't allow me to use that phone number, it acts as if SIM is not inside. (even if the SIM is from their own network)
So, I guess they did something to a phone, they limited him (blocked him somehow) so I can use only this provided SIM card from them, until my contract ends. I guess it's their way of insurance that I will pay the phone fully by the end of the contract. Anyone knows what exactly and how they did it? Is there a way to bypass this, like root the phone or something, so that I'm able to use another SIM cards aswell?
Phone is HTC ONE M9.
