Hi guys. Im not asking how to unblock a phone or change imei or anything. I was just wondering.... If your imei number gets blacklisted does the phone become inoperable or can you still play games on it. This question is purely out of curiosity. I just like to know stuff

You can still play games and even use Wi-Fi for internet access, just can't connect to the mobile network
Ah ok. You would think they would be able to pretty much disable it.

I'm trying to play order & chaos online using a T-Mobile router as my wifi. the router has a 5gigabite plan and every time when it says checking for update it will sit there for a while and say please make sure ur connected to a wifi network. So I cant play this game online it only works on a different wifi network. Any suggestions. I need help

Use a service that actually exists... There is no such thing as 5G service.

The router probably has something firewalled.

Some routers don't allow access to the ports required to make Order & Chaos work. If I can't connect to a WiFi hotspot then I just play on 3G. Works great most of the time.
I play it on my phone not pc....

Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?

It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

I can send mms. But I can't receive them.....any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Also, not trying to open a can of worms ; but if I install a newer version of android would that rectify the situation I am having?

Hm so it looks like you are on the latest version. Did you do a factory reset when you got it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't...would that somehow lock my phone to a specific carrier?

No but something might be messing up the mms.

Do you think if I installed a newer version of android I would be able to send and receive texts???
Or if I root it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.

small question, hopefully in the right spot, if not i apologize for putting my question in the wrong section.
I have baseball superstars 2013 and I cant run the app unless I update it. I used TB and backed it up and upgraded and I lost all my stuff so I restored the old version. Problem is that I have to turn off my mobile network and or wifi when I want to play the app or an annoying "you must upgrade your app to play" screen comes up telling me to either upgrade or exit the app. Is there any way to block this so it doesnt check for the upgrade and I can just continue to play the app as I normally would?
Thanks guys

There are apps in the play store that offer to unlock your phone so it can be used on any network

Rooting a phone makes it capable to use on any cell provider
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
so you know it but you want to use a fake app and get a virus or keylogger why?
That was my question, if anyone had an experience with these apps
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Rooting doesn't make your phone sim-unlocked. Rooting is basically having admin rights to the system partition on your phone. The OS (android) is located on the system partition.
The only apps I know that sim unlocks phones are usually one for Samsung's and I don't think any of them work 100% of the time.

Let me tell you, ROOTING a phone will just get sudo rights working for you, nothing else such as unlocking. Also apps wont unlock your phone either as it is usually stored in a partition that has tons of code. Those apps WILL not work. None of them will.
I'm not talking about rooting a phone. I'm talking about the apps that claim that they can provide the codes to unlock any device so that they can be used on other networks. Now if rooting a device means that you can take your phone to any of the cell carriers that's new to me. Go ahead look then up on the play store
