My friend is interested in finding out if there are any HTC Windows Phones that can be activated with Sprint without a required data plan. This might switch him from his Blackberry.
I saw Sprint's Hotspot app on the Epic 4G, I was wondering if it could be ripped and be used on the HTC Hero (since they're both sprint) or if could be used on the Samsung Vibrant (since they're both Galaxy S phones)?
Nope...you can't use it unless your account has it activated, and second it is devcie specfic
Try downloading something like Wifi Tether for Root Users from the market. As the name implies, it requires root. I used to use that on my Hero.
I've got an HTC Touch Pro 2 running on Sprint. Sprint will not allow me to activate and Android device on an older Plan. I have an older Free & Clear grandfathered plan, could you make an HTC EVO phone work on the older plan by cloning the Touch Pro 2 ESN to the EVO?
Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
That is possible just no 4g
Sent from my mom's Nexus S 4G..... It's True lol
If that would be possible that would be great, I am not worried about 4G.
Can you explain to me how I would get this to work? I have been searching
for this for a long time!
I currently use a MyTouch3g with Cyanogenmod 6.2, and I'm wanting to get a new phone. 6.2 on the MT is really sluggish and often runs out of memory (I have a bunch of apps that crash to desktop upon launch, unless I run them right after rebooting). I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Sprint, so myself and my fiance have our cellphones under the same plan. Now, from the looks of things, a lot of the phones that Sprint recently had, like the Evo 4g, and Evo 3d, have been dropped (at least from the website, but scuttlebutt I've read is that they may still be found in stores). I'm wanting to keep with HTC if possible, and something supported by Cyanogenmod. Those aren't hard and fast, but just things I would like. Is there any recommendations?
Of the ones on the Sprint Website, the Samsung Conquer seems like it would fit the bill for usage (stock android interface, rootable, affordable), but it seems like there is no custom roms for it currently.

I (W)ouldn't switch to Sprint, (T)hey whore out their network. IMO TMobile is better than Sprint, but i(F) you do not have good signal for TMO (although they have wifi calling for areas with bad signal) you might as well use Boost or Virgin who are on Sprint's network. But I guess you were already on TMO at some point if you have a MyTouch
My fiance has sprint, and is currently mid contract with them. She also doesn't have any issues with them. My contract with AT&T has expired, I'm having problems with my phone, and with my service (Texts to and from me never arriving, or getting messages and voicemail long after they were sent). My fiance hasn't had any issues with Sprint's service, just with her phone (Optimus S) and only after the gingerbread upgrade. My friends with Sprint are in the same boat with her, good service. A friend of mine has Tmobile currently and he frequently has issues where his phone will drop him from 4G down to 2G (totally bypassing 3G), even while sitting docked at his desk. He's on his second TMobile phone, and still having the same issues. My experience with Tmobile is that their reception blows in the area I live (such as reception dropping to zero and remaining totally disconnected for the last five miles on my way home). Also, because my phone would be added to my fiance's existing plan, I'd only be spending $30 a month for her shared minutes, & unlimited data, and texts. If I went with Boost or Virgin, I'd be spending more.
So, AT&T problems. Tmobile Problems. Verizon, Boost, and Virgin would all cost more. You even make mention that I likely had Tmobile and moved away from them because I am not currently on tmobile, despite having a Tmobile phone. Why don't we get things back on topic, to where I can simply get some recommendations for Sprint, rather than getting me onto another network or company? Also, why do you randomly encapsulate and capitalize letters?
If you want to stick with HTC get an evo 4g lte, pretty much your only option right now, and as it's sprints version of the one x its a damn good one. I can't say for sure that its supported by cyanogenmod as I haven't looked in that forum, but would be shocked if it wasn't already/on the way soon given the popularity of the device. Personally I'm waiting for sprint to get the galaxy s3, but that's just a matter of personal preference as it and the one x are pretty similar spec-wise...

Does the AT&T one X have CDMA Radio support (Hidden or otherwise?)
Picked this phone up on the Amazon wireless penny sale, and planning on putting the SIM in a dumbphone for sibling.
On Verizon I had the Rezound and Incredible 4G, both of which initially had no support for GSM, but was later found and implemented by devs in their respective forums. I managed to get the AT&T SIM working in my Incredible 4G for voice and data, I'm just wondering if it is possible to do the reverse.
I plan on using Viper once I get around to rooting, didn't see anything on their page about unlocking tho.
