Can't use direct carrier billing? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey guys,
I used to be able to bill my att account directly when I bought apps on my atrix, but ever since upgrading to the One X, I'm unable to do so anymore.
Calling tech support got me nowhere, they had no idea how to fix it.
Is anyone else having this issue? How'd you fix it?
Thanks!

I believe At&t has stopped offering that now the only way to do so is by credit card

My girlfriend has an Infuse, and carrier billing works just fine for her, she just bought an app too.

It doesn't seem to work with the newest market update either.

Clearing data did nothing, and att knows nothing at all either...

Direct Carrier Billing
I was wondering if anyone who was previously unable to purchase apps with direct carrier billing are now able to and if they can share what they did. I have an AT&T HTC One X and I also don't see the ability to purchase apps with direct carrier billing. I have read in a few different forums that users with AT&T/Rogers version of the HTC One X are having similar problems but users of the international edition might not have the same problem.
I have carrier unlocked my phone and would really like to use the remaining $60 in my T-Mobile prepaid account to purchase apps instead of it going to waste, and direct carrier billing seems to be my only option. Thanks ahead of time.

By going into App management and force-stopping Google Play and then uninstalling the updates, I was able to access the AT&T bill to carrier option when purchasing an app. I am still trying to get this to work with T-Mobile but I might need to switch plans or buy a day's access to mobile data for it to work.
Does anyone have any experience purchasing apps with carrier billing using a T-Mobile prepaid account?

Just tried that, carrier billing still doesn't show up for me, unfortunately.

Are any of you still on stock saying its not working? It worked for me on stock but doesn't on the Asia one.

Mine still doesn't work..

I've called HTC, att, and posted here, nothing works.
Even before I rooted my phone, the option wasn't there.
There's no purchase block on my account either ...

are you on ATT?
What version play store are you on?

I am on AT&T and using Cleanrom 3.1 LE it shows up for me, but I haven't tried actually using it.
It didn't show up for me on several other ROMs though

When I called them, they said it was a device-specific feature and it wasn't supported on the HOX. Maybe they have a random answer generator!

This is utter horse ****.
My first One X was able to do direct billing (and I've confirmed this with a purchase of Titanium Backup Pro in my Google Wallet, which states: May 10
Titanium Track charged your AT&T Mobility USA *number deleted* for $6.58. "GOOGLE *Titanium Track" will appear on your billing statement.") Then my dog decided to knock my phone out of my hand, so I got a replacement.
My new One X will NOT let me bill att. This is some shifty, sideway, backwards, secret-handshaking BS.
I'm on 1.85 with GP version 3.7.13... I'm betting it has something to do with the 1.85 update.

It won't work. The AT&T version stores NFC secure element keys differently than the International versions. I think it is in two separate files for ISIS

bummer, got to love having this useless device (nfc) in my phone, Google made an easy way to use it and AT&T blocks it for a product that probably won't be out until I am eligible for another upgrade

Quick question: does the Rogers version block google wallet too? is rogers jumping on this isis bandwagon?

Correct, the other person needs to have Paypal and nfc. I think nfc payments by isis might be available by the end of the year in time for the holidays (if they are smart). We'll see.

IDEA: Some are saying that AT&T is blocking wallet from working even if you got it installed and registered.
Some have also mentioned vpns working though, so could we hypothetically use that Onavo Extend app to get past it? Once we figure the app itself out I mean...

Drop box fail!!!!

Raymond - Dropbox Support, Jun 11 05:11 pm (PDT):
Hi Dwayne,
Thank you for contacting Dropbox! I will be happy to assist you.
What carrier is your phone with? AT&T and Verizon have opted out of the Dropbox HTC promotion, and as such, phones with these carriers are ineligible for the promotion.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

So has anyone else had this problem getting there free space?

Well, under the promo I'm sure participating carriers had to pay X amount per account signed and with the hacked apk of course the carriers are going to then back out. So now the hacked users lost their space and took yours with it. If that is indeed the case. I'm going on total speculation here

Rogers/AT&T differences & WiFi passwords storage

Having been forced, by my blatant stupidity swimming with the phone in my shorts, to buy a second brand new LTE HOX I bought a Rogers one and was able to compare it directly with the unlocked AT&T I had bought a week previously.
Rogers has both an FM Radio and tethering enabled out of the box. But you will all know that.
Here's the thing though. I got a new SIM card as well. So, with new phone and SIM I begin to set up my WiFi access points again. The phone finds my company one AND knows the password already. So WiFi passwords are uploaded to Rogers' cloud I guess. Prob old news to you experts out there but a bit of a shock to me.

ATT sends HTC One XL without LTE Sim Card

Wife just got an HTC ONE XL.... came with a sim card.
Had a hard time getting it activated... but eventually ....
After playing with it for a couple hours i found that it would not send SMS images.
Finally did a chat with ATT and was informed that the account had been changed to a Pay Data plan and that the Sim card listed was not a LTE sim card.
Hard to fathom that 2 people before never made that connection and that they actually sent an LTE phone without the proper SIM card.
Said it will take 3 days to get the LTE card when the phone was sent overnight.

AT&T never informed me that they had no 4g in our area. Needless to say I found out the same way you did. They're really "good" for that.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Turns out that everything was wrong...
1) it is an HTC One VX not HTC One LX
2) ATT only uses one type (different sizes) of SIM cards and they are 3g/4g and LTE compatible.
3) The person who activated the phone, put the phone on a Pay per use plan (not LTE)...
4) The rep I just got off the phone with, is fixing that... temp 200mb LTE plan until the Unlimited LTE plan is put back on, Credit to cover the cost and fixed a number of other issues (like turning me on paperless billing).
So I was in the wrong thread... sorry bout that.

As a former employee I used to get mistakes like this from all sorts if co workers. Hated it. I knew how to fix it, just couldn't tell. Also you know have an LTE sim card when the 9th and 10th number is 25 or 27

[Q] Different Carrier??

So I found a HTC One X from AT&T on the side of the road the other day, surprisingly in great condition. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, have SuperCID, and have S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone here knew if it is possible to change this phone over in order to use on the Virgin Mobile network?

When i lost my sensation I used Google play and maps combo to track it within 30'
If imei has been registered with Google it can be easily tracked even without a aim card as long as it gets WiFi signal. And the phone can easily be blacklisted as long as imei is known.
And on the point of using it on virgin mobile if they are at all like Verizon they will have a SIM but only for the 4g data. Like a sprint iPhone. Uses cmda for calls and the sim for data connection.

Karma. If you take someone's property without even trying to return it, you deserve to have your property stolen or destroyed without a word of complaint.
I tried to return the phone....the phone was locked and I was unable to retrieve any numbers from it. There was a missed call on the lockscreen and I called that number but it had been disconnected. I put an ad on craigslist for a "FOUND LOST PHONE", I got a few replies but they were all looking for a different brand of phone.I have found atleast half a dozen phones in the last year and returned everyone of them. It's not like I just picked up the phone and immediately done a factory reset so I could start using it.
