I've been trying to get my NS4G on the boostmobile network. Does anyone know if I can use a Blackberry curve 8350 as a donor phone? If anyone can help please PM me. Been using my NS4G on only wifi since october now and it's awful.
I have my Nexus S 4G flashed to Boost mobile in fact.
Unfortunately, the answer to your question is, no. You must use a sanyo incognito or a samsung prevail. I used a prevail, it is a little harder than the incognito but it can be done.

Yes, EDGE is 2G.
ok will all the other phone features work?
Yea it should
2g with full internet pages is pretty slow though, takes forever to load anything, sending email and stuff like that should be fine but u can scratch watching youtube videos without waiting awhile
ok i have a samsung galaxy s at&t phone will the inspire work the same as the galaxy s?
also is the galaxy s at&t pnone on the same band as the htc inspire?
so would it be better if i used a iphone 4 unlocked with simple mobile?
als ocan you assist me in getting my htc inspire unlocked??????
hi,
please help if you can. i was thinking about getting htc inspire 4g from radio shack and would like to use simple mobile as my carrier. i understand that the phone has to be unlocked and GSM. my question is once it's unlocked do i need to change the access name point(apn) on the phone in order to use the internet?
thank you
anyone using Motorola Htc Inspire on Simple Moblile? any problem with internet ? do they "throttle" your usage?
Any AT&T phone on T-Mobile service will run on edge, doesn't matter which phone you use.

Yes you do have to change the apn but it tells you step by step on the website here: Simple Mobile Support .

I dont think they throttle it. i havent noticed any change.
Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!
There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.
Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7
Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?
yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

I made this change and the mms successfully sent. I'll ask my brother if he got it later and update you
Edit: my brother sent me a text saying he got the picture

hey i have flashed lots of phone from eve's to epic touch, but for some reason i am unable to get the 3g to work on the nexus. I used an incognito as donor phone retrieve all the required info. By any chance can you tell me how you got your 3g to work?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.
does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...
Hi, I have a question about my Samsung captivate that is unlocked and running CM9. I have a phone plan with tmobile, and was wondering if I could get the wifi calling feature that is on the vibrant on my captivate. I am comfortable with flashing custom roms and the like, so if I have to make some changes, that is fine.
In short, my question is “Can I get the wifi calling app that is available on the tmobile vibrant on my unlocked captivate running CM9”.
Thanks, Ben Finch
I'm going to assume you have an up to date SIM from T-Mobile. Some older cards that came out just about the time the vibrant did were incompatible with Wi-Fi calling, and required people to get new ones. So, if it doesn't work, that's a possibility.
I work in a phone store, got to see that action first hand.
As for Wi-Fi calling, you shouldn't have to hack unless you're running a stock Rom on the captivate that has unknown source installations (side loading) blocked by default. If that's the case, browse the stickies.
Wi-Fi calling, last I checked, was simply a regular apk. Check out the vibrant and galaxy s 4g forums, I'm sure it's posted there somewhere. I'm out of town and using my phone, otherwise I'd be able to extract it from my wife's g2 and post it. PM me if you don't find it there, I think I can get it from my desktop eventually.

Hi Ben,
I'm having the same exact issue. Did you ever find a solution? If so, please advise. Both Samsung and T-Mobile reps say it's not possible to have Wi-Fi calling with Captivate. Seems there should be a way.
Hello,
I am currently have an HTC One V on Virgin Mobile and was wondering if it would be possible to acquire a Samsung Galaxy SIII on Verizon and make it work as a functioning phone on the Virgin Mobile network. If you could assist me in doing so or point me in a direction where I could find out more about the process then that would be great.
I am already familiar with rooting and flashing custom ROMs. My HTC One V runs Cyanogenmod 10.1. But I do not know what I would necessarily need to do to get a different phone running on Virgin Mobile with my phone number and data, etc.
Thanks for your help,
Connor Elsea

Bump. If anyone could just tell me what to search for, or even how to get started on trying to figure this out, that would be great. Thanks!
