Nexus S 4g Device ID Change - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Nexus S4g that I bought on ebay and it works great. I also like to use MagicJack app on my phones and this phone appears to have been used with Magicjack in the past. Magicjack tells me the deviceID is on another account and wont let me add it to my account. I have had this issue with another phone I used to have running 2.3.4 Android OS and I was able to change the Device ID and it worked. This phone is running 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod. I have tried the same app I used to change the device ID on the other phone and it tells me it is changed but the magicjack app still isnt letting me use it saying the device is not on my account. Is there anything else I can do to change the device ID on this so that MagicJack will see it as a different deviceID and let me use it? Thank you in advance.

Only way is to mail the guy who sold it to you and ask him to remove it from his list. Device IDs are burnt into the phone chipset.

MagicJack doesnt let you remove a device. as dumb as it sounds. That is why I changed my deviceID on my Droid2G. It worked when I did it on my Droid2G. I tried using Android ID Changer and Change Android Id ★ Root (that one worked on my droid2G) and these would not work on this phone. It shows the new DeviceID when I reboot but MagicJack still says the same thing "Your Device is not on this account"
MagicJack is being unreasonable not letting a person remove devices from an account for a person to put it on another account. And the support is the worst. iPhone users are using an app that lets them spoof different IDs for the app to think it is a different phone as well.
**EDIT** Here is a link of a discussion of others having this issue.

Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"
Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.
Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?
Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.
I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?
I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps
Did anyone ever get this to work? Would be nice for the 500!

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

Whatsapp for kindle fire

When I install whatsapp on kf it gives me application not installed
So why
i'm using airdroid to download it because it doesn't appear in android market
so what can I do??
Okay I installed it but know hen I open it popup msg appeared told me that this devices is not supported
Hey does it work for kf or no???
Sent from my Optimus Me using XDA App
From the notes and description on the app it says it uses your phone number to associate you, so your friends can find you without having to know another screen name/pin etc. so since the KF doesn't have a phone number, it probably wont work unless there is a post some where on how to spoof a phone number.
I got it working for me, you can only get it working if you are already using it on an android phone:
Then just titaniumbackup it and copy the three (or two I don't remember) files with whatsapp in the name to your kindle fire.
then you can just restore it with data using titaniumbackup on your kindle fire.
Sending works perfectly but receiving messages only works sometimes. Sometimes you will get it on your phone and sometimes on your tablet.
I only tried this on CM7

i installed this app. however it does not start with the usual Create a Number option but asks for an email and password. when i do log in (i have an free account with them), the app says " This Device not registered on this email"
after having gone like this for a few phones, i am guessing that this app somehow locks on the IMEI number of the phone... or something like that - and accepts only one log in ID.
i need some guru to advise me how to get the log in page ready to take some other log in ID also.... that is, remove whatever connection the app makes with the mobile phone
thanks in advance

Best App for Tracking Lost Phone

Hi all,
Can someone suggest the best app for locating a lost android phone?

Thanks for any suggestions..

Almost all antivirus companies have device tracking enabled through web.if you configured and recalled the data.you can track the location of phone and can remote swipe/sms and many more.I have tested that using kaspersky and NOD32 and webroot.this is the only chance to track else after stolen people throw away SIM,format the phone or change the IMEI so impossible to track back.
I'm using avast! (Free) It has quite an extensive lost/stolen system built into it aswell as all the antivirus stuff. One thing I like about avast! (Not sure who else has this) it has a setting called 'Geo fencing'. Once set, if your phone leaves a, user set, distance from your current point, it automatically locks your phone and triggers any other protection activities, and sends a SMS to a pre-set cell number. Good for night clubs or busy shopping malls incase you get pick pocketed.

Avast! is pretty good when it comes to tracking.
Thanks for suggestions. Don't necessarily wanna install an anti virus on the phone.. Find they slow it down ( I know some people may disagree, but that's not the topic)

Android now has a built in phone locator which can be activated in Settings > Security > Device administrators. Check Android Device Manager.
Uses Google's push service so it doesnt poll battery.
Link to web interface: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
In addition, I use AndroidLost from Play Store. Runs through Google servers so no background usage. Has an advanced plethora of controls on the web interface. Check it out.
Google Device Manager
I have enjoyed using Google Device Manager. It has the ability to ring my phone for 5 mintues so I can find it easier. As well as the ability to locate it. Although like everything else depends on data connection. So if I lost in a park with a dead battery... NO DICE.

AndroidLost supports SMS controls. You could send an SMS message to activate GPS and auto reply the location, or you could send a message to enable WiFi/data and track that way.

agreed, i use android device manager. used to use the samsung version, but now that google offers it then i'll use that one.
I used to use Avast, but now I can just use Google's Device Manager or even CyanogenMod's which is crude for now.
Device manager seems to work well. It allows you to locate the device from another browser using Google maps, allows yo to ring the phone even if it's on vibrate or silent and once set up allows you too lock/erase all data from it.

cerberus is the best option for little money ( 3 € ) can have about 5 devices, and allows for many things, what I'm wearing and not disappointed.
Check out "Wheres my droid" from the play store. It is full of great features. Can set up triggers from text or phone numbers to make it ring. You can get is location from sending a specific text to your phone. You can lock it down,take a pic and even wipe it clean. Great app

Actually, this is a really important point. Which of these apps are still able to perform their advertized functions after it is being lost? Supposedly, whoever is in possession of the phone will through out SIM card and do a factory reset so all apps that use google services will not work anymore as they are Signed out... Are apps from antivirus suites immune to this?

When you lost you phone , how to find it back even you do not install Find My Phone ?

When you lost a phone , how to find it back even you do not install Find My Phone ?
When you lost a phone , If you have installed Find My Phone application and activate it, it will be OK to locate, lock or even wipe your phone.
Actually you can still install Find My Phone even your phone is lost or stollen, and you do not need to setup anything.
Here is 2 steps -
1) Go to Play Store Website and Install Find My Phone —
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonefindandlock
2) Text message where is my phone to your phone from your friend's or family member's phone, and your phone will alarm and return the location when it receives the message.
Note:
1) Text the message after installation. The installation will take around 30-60 seconds.
2) Try to do these as soon as possible when you can not find your phone.
3) Good luck
Didn't Google implement a device search and remote wipe option a while ago?

Is it stealth?
OK, so I got four phones stolen from our store and, although I have the Life360 app, there's a huge radius of the location.
So I've been looking for ways to get into the phones and see if the person has taken pictures so I can identify who stolen the phones to the police.
Two questions: if I install this remotely, will it show on the phone or can it be installed without notifications? And once it is installed, can I remotely retrieve files from the phone?
ThankS!
