Smart menu service app - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the Philippine smart is a local carrier, a friend has nexus s and sells loads from her phone. Her china phone automatically has a app that has all the smart menu services in it but when we put her sim in the nexus s we can't find the smart menu services app anywhere.
I looked on the market and can't find it there either . Does anyone have any idea about where it is? Thanks loads hahahaha,,,

Are you talking about the smart menu on the carrier's sim card?
I've the same problem with my carrier because it doesn't have any app on the market..and in the nexus s series seems that there isn't possibility to use the carrier menu without the carrier app.
I only sloved once, when I had installed a cooked rom (based on gingerbread). Right now I can't remember the name..you should try to contact you carrier or try to install a cooked rom that include this option

Cool,, thanks, I will try that out

Replace market with unbranded?

I can't stand this Att branded market. A lot of my apps disappeared, even some I just installed 2 days ago. Is there a way to swap it out with an unbranded market? I'm rooted stock. Atrackdog tells me there is an updated market app but you know, not for us locked on Att branded. Should it be a simple swap of apk's in the system?

it's not the apk that is branded and you are likey up to date on the market .apk. it is something in the rom that check with the sim to see what carrier you are on. and some regulation is done with market keys in the build.prop. infused is suppoed to be unbranded but on my phone (and im sure many others)it is not. im not sure why it didnt work. thre is a market app called market enabler where you can change the branding to t-mobile or verizon by faking a sim key but im not sure what you need to change in the rom to block the market from detecting it altogether. one way to avoid the branding is to put the pone in airplane mode and turn wifi back on, then pen the market connected through wifi, in airplane mode it cant detect the sim key and will result in an unbranded market.(not to say you wont have some regulation due to ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop)
if you cant see market enabler you can still log into gmail on a full web browser(either a pc or the phone) and google search for android market enabler. find a result that starts with market.adroid.com and open it. on a phone it will bring you to the market page, on a pc it will bring you to a web page for android where you can push the app to your phone remotely.
Hey thanks for explaining that and yeah, airplane mode makes it unbranded. I clear the cache and I guess it rereads the installed apps and shows them all again.

becuase att wants to hide apps from you that they think you shouldn't have...
Wow my bible app wont update but when i do the airplane mode deal and go unbranded ir does update. Well maybe have to go to att by the house and talk to them lol maybe get a gift from then NOT.
I try airplane mode and I have 2 new updates. One for Devil Ninja and Google Maps.
So in response to those of you who have a *branded* market, *and* are running a custom rom which is supposed to have a unbranded market. Try the following diagnostic:

If you have a branded app market:
1) Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
2) Go to Market, Clear Data, Force Close
3) Go to Google Services Framework, Clear Data, Force Close
4) Long Press Power Button, Choose Reboot
5) Unbranded app market

Of course this will only do you any good if you are running a custom rom, but afaik it should fix it 100% of the time in that case. I had the same issue after my most recent reflash to infused. And yes, I realize OP wanted to remain stock, I am reposting this for the other people who are on infused and still suffering AT&T branding.

ESN not clear ... how to use as just an android device?

I was given a Motorola Droid X from a co-worker to replace my original Motorola Droid and when I went to activate it on PagePlus their system told me the ESN isn't clear! That sucks but it was free so I thought I would just use it as a game and music player. It has been reset by my co-worker so it is at an activation screen and won't let me get past it, it is saying I must activate it. I hit activate, it calls some place and asks what the number is for the phone, I don't have one. How do I get rid of this so I can just use it as an android device and not a phone?
Ok found out I can click all corners to get out of that. Is there anyway to use this as a phone? If not what can I do to make it the best media device?
Google voice might be an option... But only when on WiFi since you won't have cell service

[Q] virgin mobile htc one v. need,to make this gsm

Good day.
So i purchased a htc one v from the virgin mobile network.
On opening the base compartment i discovered that there was no Sim card area exposed. Instead this version is enclosed with plastic.
I would assume that if i open the device with a screwdriver that there will be a Sim card area. however i'm not sure if it would be enabled.
Secondly, I'm not sure if the virgin mobile software would accept a Sim card.
So i want to know:
1. Will the slot be there and active if i open it?
2. Will it be possible to flash the phone to a different carrier?
Plz give me a detailed response with some sources. I wanna be sure of whether or not it is possible to use this as a gsm device

I know . However i was reading some of the other post and i came across " *#*#4636#*#* ", which brings up a menu allowing me to change the network search preference from CDMA to GSM. COuld you tell me more about how this works?

use as phone?

Hi guys, I've got a Note 8.0 and I'm happy with It because I can use It as phone (3G version).
Does the LTE version of the note pro support the phone functionality? Can I use it to make phone calls? Of course I work with bluetooth earphones.
Thank you
Antonio
The answer is yes. I use my Note 12.2 with LTE to make calls, send texts, surf the web, etc. I'm using lg tone bluetooth stereo headset. Works like a champ.
Yes, I've used it (P905) to make phonecalls through my Bluetooth headset and my regular earphones.
Thanks

Does anyone have any experience using this and SideSync with a Galaxy phone? I just realized a couple days ago, while watching an LG presentation, that we probably had a feature that was similar.

The LTE version of the Note 12.2 has basically the same phone dialer, text message, browser, etc. that's found on all Galaxy phones. It's just displayed on a 12.2 screen. Wanna make a call? Tap the phone icon and dial away like you would do on any modern cellphone. Rince and repeat for text messaging, email, web browsing, etc. That's the point of getting the LTE version. It turns the tablet into a giant cell phone and you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, instead of the Samsung Exynos processor to boot.

- Buy the tablet
- Start the tablet
- Open the app drawer.
That's it.
This is full 100% unaltered stock. These apps came pre-installed out of the box.
This is the p905 4G edition, not the p900 WiFi Only. The WiFi only model doesn't have a 3G/4G radio.

Ah, yes. There you have it. US Branded versions are notorious for shortselling their customers in this manner.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-P907A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The dialer and message apps are already on it you just have to find a way to get them to work. I have the Verizon variant and downloaded a dialer app and when I tried to run it the tablet asked what app to use at default and the dialer app was one of the choices. But it wouldn't run. It is also listed in the app manager under all apps.
If it's listed as an app in the app manager, you could probably add a shortcut to it through Apex or Nova. Or possibly with Zooper Widget, which also has shortcuts to apps.

Quite good but the fps is a little bit low
This is true. Other downside of SideSync: no word gliding for you.
I did discover some upsides, including being able to drag files from my file manager onto it, and opening a movie from my phone that played on my tablet (instant media streaming).
And like an idiot, I still haven't tried placing a call.
Help, no Phone
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I just had major surgery and some problems concentrating
I just purchased the Verizon Note Pro 12 today and there is no phone icon anywhere..
I have searched through every spot on that thing and cannot find it. I have the Note 3 phone and other samsung stuff so I am pretty used to their systems..
..Is there something I need to do special to find this because I am about to having a multi-hundred dollar discus.
Yes it is 4G, yes i have the Sim card inserted, yes it told me my phone number, but no phone or dialer icons exists, and I am supossed to be using this on a trip in a day and a half so would like to know its functions.
Thanks everybody..

Any Android apps to act ask a Answer machine rather than using my Providers service ?

Does anyone know of a free app , that i can use that will take my voice messages for me , rather than using the one that Vodafone UK offer , i am on Pay as you go , they charge 35p for checking my voice mails , issue been , i need Vodafone , due to the poor signal from other providers in my area.
So a app that takes my messages for me would be ideal....oddly enough i have checked the google store for my android phone and can find nothing , i would of thought this would of been a fairly simple app and a good one for someone to of already written.!! I have tried to use a couple of them , but they tend not to work or have not been supported for a long time .

thank you, but sadly googlestore says it is not available in my country, that been the UK.
But oddly enough, searching for Youmail popped up a app called PF Voicemail plus
Which looks interesting, I can't test until tomorrow though, but looks to have potential
