[Q] Fully Flashed Droid X, internetmms not working - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Used to have a Droid with Verizon. Yesterday I bought a Droid X fully flashed to Metro PCS. The kid showed me that the internet and picture messaging worked. We went to the market and downloaded an app to make sure that worked. He got it flashed, and then later someone else fully flashed it. We tested out a few websites just to make sure, and we weren't on wi-fi.
After a million struggles with the Metro PCS team of the Customer Service phone line, we finally got it activated.
Thing is, that it seems the 'fully' flashed disappeared. No internet, market place access, mms, etc.
Anyone know if reactivating a phone makes all these settings disappear and will I have to re-flash it? It still works with Metro, just none of the good stuff works.
If anyone can explain how to fix this or help me out in any way it'd be awesome.
Thanks,
Mike

So frustrated, about to return One X but seeking advice

All,
I have had the One X for just over a week now. Three times, I have had to hard reset the phone because it stops receiving / making calls, and data stops.
I tried searching the forums but it seems like issues are all over the board and couldn't really find something that was exactly my issue. If there is one, I apologize for the duplicate post.
Regardless, when the phone is in this state, it appears like everything is working. It shows I have great signal, the little 4G icon is there, indicating that everything is working.
Anyone else have this problem or could I possibly just have a bad unit? AT&T already swapped out the SIM card thinking that might fix it, but no luck.

I think you should swap out the phone as bad before returning it if that's the only issue you're having. mine seems flawless in that regard. I haven't missed or dropped a single call.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a go.
Definitely return it for new one...that problem is one I have not heard of and will probably go away once you have the new one. Good luck...badass phone for sure.

I don't recall ever having that problem. Mine was pretty random too, in fact it got so bad yesterday that I missed several important calls.
If I would restart the phone, I would get all my missed text messages and the voicemail (google voice) would tell me I have messages waiting..
Very frustrating.

I thought that might be my problem too, but where I could stand in one place and have the problem, restart the phone, and then not have the problem -- that leads me to believe there was something wrong with the phone.

Nope the wife's inspire stayed on hspa
My X started out ok, but these last couple of days I have NO signal anywhere. Also SMS/MMS is barely working. (and when it does, people are getting multiples) And its dropping pretty much every single call.
I just called my corp store, they have plenty in stock. I'm going to go exchange it. Should I ask for a new SIM also?
And my screen is perfect, here's hoping I get another good one...

However, AT&T's LTE phones are notorious for connection problems on non-LTE market. These LTE phones use a new APN called pta. I just had the same problem while traveling through PA yesterday. Lost data connections many times and had to reboot the phone at the end of the day to regain data connection of any kind.
So, it is AT&T's service and also the phone firmware that can't properly handle the fact that it can't receive any LTE signal in certain areas.

return it and get another phone, besides the One X, it's all hype anyway. The HTC vivid is a much more solid phone.
I had almost the same issue. My device was on wifi and would at random times just stop pulling data. Or at time just not make calls. I tried trouble shooting it but I was basically told since I didn't have it long I should get it replaced. I replaced it and the new device is perfect. I have not once had that issue again.

Who said I'm going to reture it. OneX, regardless all its problems is still way better than any alternatives AT&T have. There is no such thing as problem free Android phones. I've being many of them. They all have problems one way or another. Vivid with its ancient S3 CPU and SD screen just plain sucked. My SGS2 can kick its butt.
For me the form factor of One X, LTE speed, S4 processor and HD screen are the main things I pick One X over any other phones available on AT&T. These software bugs will be corrected overtime.
I just came back from my store. They had plenty in stock but said when that runs out, they have no idea when they will see anymore.
I have a brand new 1X, and a new SIM card. Hopefully this one works.
I stopped by a vzw store to look at the gnex and my hox side by side. I've decided to keep the HOX. Screen on the gnex was way too bright and I ran quadrant side by side on both phones. The hox blew the gnex out of the water.

Bought mine yesterday and this same issue happened to me today. Had full reception on 4G but could not send a text or place a call. Happened twice today, and I dont know if I want to return it ASAP or if its software related and may be fixed.
I had that problem 3 days after buying the phone. Data, calls, texts..tons of problems. Phone was unusable half the time. I went and exchanged it for another one. I am now at 6 days with the new phone. No problems. I hope it lasts.

FoxFi Free Tethering App

I tried to download this but I got a message saying my carrier (at&t) doesn't support this app.
Is anyone able to use it on the AT&T One X or know of a similar app?
Or do I just have to download one of the available mods in the dev section?

Install MarketAccess. This app allows you to spoof other carrier markets. Spoofing T-Mobile 310260 should pretty much give you full market access.

That's weird. I just pulled it up on the Play Store and I have no problem. Has it compatible with all my devices (all AT&T).
You guys see where Verizon can no longer block tethering apps in the market?

Yeah att needs that going on. I ended up flashing a hotspot hack so I'm good.
Sent from my HTC One X
No go for mine
I know this is an old thread but I'll try anything at this point. I've tried a bunch of stuff so far. I've downloaded a .apk that was supposed to remove ATT's block on the tethering which didn't work. I then tried to install CM10 which goes through all the install motions in TWRP and reboots. After reboot it sits on the CM logo forever never booting into CM10 so I had to restore it to stock. I've tried apps in the market and of course the Att lock blocks them as well. So I figured I'd try this one and it doesn't work on my HOX either.
All I can say is that ATT and/OR HTC have got this tethering thing all locked down this time. I had no problems installing CM or getting the hotspot unlocked on all my previous devices... Kinda regretting getting this HOX now. hotspot worked great on my Inspire and my HD2
I tried to install the FoxFi from the market but nothing showed up in the search results so I downloaded that market spoof which allowed FoxFI to showup..... Installed FoxFi and it activates the hotspot but when I try to connect with my Laptop it says it cant connect.
We are in a unique situation here and not really sure what to do to get my phone to act as a hotspot. Very Frustrating!
The Aluminum skin on our coach blocks most if not all campground wifi signals from coming in, yet my phone still has a good signal so I figured I could just use my phone as the device to get online while inside the coach. Can't sit outside at night, the skeeters will carry you off. Rains most of the day so it makes it very difficult to get online.
We've been with ATT for so long that the geico caveman is going to join ATT so we do not want to change our plan in anyway.. (We're grandfathered into a really old plan from like 7 years ago that is $40 a month...This new plan they want to sell us is $200 a month with the hotspot built in..... wowzers!
Any suggestions?

root your device, download sql editor lite and open, vendorsettings->settings.db and find entitlement check in that long list.. once you find it, change its value from 1 to 0.. now you can use tether..

[Q] Restricted Access Change notification

I just upgraded to the latest stable CM10 rom, including properly flashing boot.img, on my AT&T One X with the latest Hboot. Things have been working fine for the last couple days. Yesterday LTE went live for my city so I didn't have data until I set my Access Point Name to AT&T LTE. Things were great until this afternoon. I've noticed a "Restricted Access Change" notification intermittently, and for a little bit I can't use voice. It comes back on its own.
Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks.
When LTE first rolled out here in Portlandid get the same message however, I could still make voice call.... Haven't gotten that prompt in a few weeks but also it didn't cause me any interruptions.. hth.. XOXO.

Thanks for the info. I haven't seen it since yesterday afternoon and all's been well. Fingers crossed.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro Verizon hotspot?

Hi, I'm looking at buying a unlocked xcover pro and using it on the Verizon network. I can't really find much info on this phone. It looks like they are 100% unlocked(not sure on the Verizon variant) and you can unlock the bootloader right from settings.
My question/dilemma is will Verizon block my hotspot on the device as I do not pay for the subscription. I am on the old unlimited grandfather plan and have been using the hotspot for wifi for years as I travel a lot for work.
I'd also like to know if it's possible to install a custom Rom on this, and if so which one? I've been looking but there's nothing I can find specific to this phone and I'm pretty inexperienced with this stuff.
I currently use a verizon lg v20 that has been unlocked with custom Rom/firmware and I was able to get around the subscription hotspot lock with it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Small world. I am also considering the Xcover Pro and currently running the V20 with a custom ROM.
Looking forward to replies to this post.

I just got the phone today....got it powered on, turned on hotspot right away. It seemed to be working fine. Got a bunch of apps installed and stuff and was streaming videos on my laptop. After a good hour or so I got disconnected. Re-connected and got the verizon hotspot verification error. Well ****....
Went to check out how to unlock the bootloader and the OEM unlock option is missing in the dev options like everywhere online says it will be.
Had to run to town. now im back and just went to try hopspot again and its been working a good 20 minutes or so. Im typing this on my laptop that is connected to the hotspot, but im pretty sure I will get knocked off again. Not sure what to do now.
Were you ever able to get the hotspot working?

Yeah. Been using this for about a month now. Have not updated the OS on it yet. Only had the issue 1 time where it asked for a Verizon subscription and then I rebooted a few times and has been working since. I use it every day.
I dont know what would happen if I updated the OS on it, but I'm not going to try it. Hope this helps any1 looking to buy one of these. I really like the phone.
