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

How do I activate the phone if I can't use the number pad to during the activation prompts? I'm sure there's a way,
Not supposed to use *228 to activate phones with sim cards.

Like the above poster says *228 is not meant for LTE devices, only 3g devices. Did you just purchase the phone? If so, dial 1-877-807-4646 from any other phone to start the activation on your line. The LTE sim must be activated separately as well.

I just reloaded PA because of some glitches and the phone said it failed to activate. I dont have any service at the moment.

HELP! I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. I brought a SIM unlock code from cellunlocker.net to use with my HOX. It wasn’t my first time dealing with them - they have a good service over there. When I put the T-Mobile SIM card into my AT&T HTC One X (Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader, S-Off & Super CID). I didn’t get the prompt asking for the unlock code. At first I thought it was the ROM (UrDroid_One_X_ATT_OTA_JB_Odex-evita-1.9) so I put the sock 2.20 back in with no change. I unrooted, then I ran a couple of RUU’s (htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us & RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3) with no change. Both AT&T and HTC said that they didn’t know what was causing it. The phone works perfectly too. My question is does anyone know of a code that I could punch into the dialer to get the unlock code prompt window to open? If not is there a way to put S-ON back? Reason is I’m wondering if it could be an issue with no security on (S-ON) hence no security prompt… just a guess.
I SIM unlocked mine with s-off

Sorry man, I'm out of ideas.
you could try inserting the sim while in bootloader..
Some phones have a setting for sim card lock in settings -> security I don't use sense so I can't verify that.
Also, you can try changing the prefered networks in settings.
Hopefully one of these helps?

Yes, I'm positive. It works with an AT&T SIM but when you put in a SIM from another carrier you don't get any bars, you just see a little x. Besides that no prompt window comes up asking for the unlock code as it is supposed to do.

Is there a thickness difference between the att sim and the other one? Was it a custom cut SIM?

No, it wouldn't be the thickness because I've used four different SIM cards (both T-Mobile and Simple Mobile) some cut and some not.
try this app and check sim state; although, I dont know if it works.

how did you unlocked your sim with s-off? I need to unlock mine manually as the prompt is not coming neither
EDIT: lol i figured out the problem. Both accounts from the sims that I was testing were deactivated for non use, and thus I couldn't get any signal. Maybe the same happened to your tmobile sim.
Hi this question is in regard to the dual SIM model XT1033
Is there some way that we can get both the networks active at the same time such that we are able to download files using both the connections resulting in higher download speed using only the phone networks?
I do remember reading that this was possible for wifi and mobile network
It, however, would be really useful if this option is created in some way.
Please forgive me if this is technically not possible.
I am new here

I'd say it's technically impossible, since we'd need 2 radios working at the sime time. It's like being able to switch between calls received on different SIMS.
