So I just bought my friend a stratosphere off of ebay. Does anyone know if i can just throw my Charge sim card into the stratosphere just to set it up (root, custom rom, etc.?)
The SIM card has nothing to do with root or customization. It's a card that enables LTE service, essentially.

That's not what he was asking.
OP, are you sure you need to have a SIM in the phone to do things on it? If so, you probably would be able to, but I don't know what implications that would have with your account.
I'm dealing with replacements right now and inserting my SIM into the new phone activates the new phone. I don't know if you could run into any issues (such as warranty stuff) by having his phone activated on your account, even for just a short time.
So I think you should be able to physically. I have no idea what consequences, if any, there would be.
If all you want to do is root/rom the phone, you can bypass the setup wizard without needing a sim card. From the main setup wizard screen just go into Emergency dial, then type in *#TESTMODE - that should enable the capacitive buttons so that you can hit the home button to get to the launcher - which should be all you need to do in order to proceed. Hope this helps!
Oh, my bad. I had to read the OP about 3 more times before I finally understood what he was asking.

Thanks everyone and sorry for any confusion. I ended rooting before getting the sim, then adding the rom n other stuff after. Its up and running like a champ! Thanks again!

Hello, I have over 150+ contacts on a trac phone, the sgh-t105g, and I need to transfer the contacts to my new Nexus 4 but I have no idea as to how, any help would be much appreciated as I don't wish to spend my next hours plugging in names and numbers for each and every single contact! :crying:
In Trac phone simcard has to inserted?
If so its easy..
Or else if trac phone has internet push ur contacts to gmail or facebook then on nexus pull it..
Good luck..
The SIM card is not a micro sim so I'd have to cut it and eliminate it afterwards but I'd like to keep the phone still working for emergencies and the tracphone does not have internet.. Lol
You can backup your contacts using an app like SMS backup, and then restore them on your other phone using that same app
But how can I get that app on the track phone if the tracphone doesn't support internet connectivity. Its just calls/texts. That's my problem here :/
Does ur trac phone can send vcard ?If so send all the contacts Sanjay vcard to nexus...
Try this ....
What is vcard? & how can I tell if I can send it?
You can send contacts via Bluetooth or send a vcard. if necessary, you can send to have any application, and then by the same application to restore them
Hi
Try to download it to your computer from androiddrawer.com and then send it to your phone for install.
Hope i help
Contact backup apps are recommended or android has it own conatct import/export feature

I know the topic is dead, just wanted to ask you this. All the simcards can store a small
Group of contacts say 25 contacts. And there should be one option in Trac phone
to copy contacts from phone to simcard. U can later put the sim in any device and copy contacts
There. Did you try doing anything similar to this ?
I did not try that as stated with my original purpose. The track phone uses a normal sim meanwhile the Nexus 4 a micro sim. I would then have to cut the normal sim into a micro one and hope I don't mess up the sim tray in the nexus (I've read many articles that it has) & then I would have to use some sort of tool to allow my now cut down micro sim to fit back into a normal sim to fit back inside my trac phone to keep it as a emergency phone... Which at this point it's all more of a risk than something worth the effort to try, but yea.. Lol.

Try taking it to a sprint store they have a contact transfer machine. I'm not sure who your carrier is but I'm sure they'll do it for you
Use google sync
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

I know . However i was reading some of the other post and i came across " *#*#4636#*#* ", which brings up a menu allowing me to change the network search preference from CDMA to GSM. COuld you tell me more about how this works?
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.

Hello every body
same with me also. I have a dual XT1033 one. it is working nice when it was running in a single SIM. when I inserted anther one then the problem started. every 5 to 10 seconds a pop-up coming 'Restricted access Changed Emergency service is blocked' that time my data stops and after few seconds it's start. also changed with the different SIMs but problem remains.
aNY suggestions highly anticipated
Thanks in advance.
Any update guys...

^^^Problem solved. it was showing me because of two particular SIMs/networks. I think it was conflicting with each other. Now change of SIMs(different network) solved the issue.*
problem with the network:
1. BSNL
2. Reliance*
