Hello,
I am trying to copy a messaging/voip app from my old phone. I used APK Extractor to copy the app.
The problem is with the app's login info. When I launch the app on my old phone, I get a message that the account is inactive and I need to contact customer services. But the app then works, I can make calls and check the credit remaining etc.
When I enter the account details (login and password, identical to the ones that are logged on on my old phone) in my new phone I get an invalid account message.
In fact the account is dormant, but still works. So obviously I don't want to contact the service provider.
The problem is not to retrieve the login details - I already have those - but how to flag the app as logged in.
Anyone have any ideas?
OK, I managed to solve the problem. I'll post it, in case it helps anyone else.
It turns out that the manual log in works if there is no SIM card present in the phone.
If a SIM card is present, the Freedompop app finds that either it is not a Freedompop SIM, or that it is an inactive SIM, so refuses to log in. If there is no SIM card present (for any operator), then the manual log in works.

I have a HTC Touch - Windows Mobile 6.0 device and recently changed mobile provider. Now whenever I active the phone on my device I get a pop-up with the same message each time (an ad for backing up the Sim contacts with the provider). If I press ok I get another pop-up 30 seconds later.
I looked for a way to turn off the pop-ups but can't find anything. Does anybody know a way to turn this off?
I don't have a solution for stopping the messages, but might I suggest actually taking the SMS's advice and backing up your contacts, maybe then it will actually stop bugging you?
Thanks Jadel I don't think that will help however, though I won't be able to test until I fully switch providers. My contacts are already backed up in Gmail, Hotmail and Exchange.
May be there is contact backup as sim service? Go to sim services and look for this service if any????? May be you can do something from there.

that's a good suggestion. it seems your provider has something to do with this as i'm not familiar with anything that offers this weird thing automatically.
Hi,
I borrowed my friends SIM to activate my MYTOUCH phone. During activation, it said this GMAIL account is now linked to this phone. problem is it is HIS gmail account, not mines.
Is there a way to change the email to my gmail address?
Or is the only way to RESET the phone?
thanlks
I'm on an eclair rom right now but there should be an option in your settings called "sync" or something like that where you can add a gmail account and once you add one you can delete the other. Why did you need to borrow someone's SIM to activate the phone? Wouldn't that activate it on that service instead of your own? What are you gonna do when there's no wireless for you to use?

Yes, depend on rom installed. Try this , is you use a rom basef on Eclaire, or something similar in other cases.
Settings-Privacy settings-Factory data reset. Atention that erase all your data stored un phone (contacts etc)
Well, that's weird. Why did you put in your friend's email address? Should've been able to put in your email address even with his SIM.
I found the solution:
going into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> gmail, gmail storage & google apps and clear cache and data. then reboot the phone and see if it prompts you to enter a gmail account.
Once i deleted DATA, i was able to create new gmail account!

How the hell do I get a text message
Basically, I was a victim of ID Theft last year, and added security to my account requires a text message. I can't change the setting in my bank account without getting into it, which requires the text message, so I'm at a catch 22. I have no SIM card in my phone. My M8 is unlocked/Rooted CMod. My S6 is stock. My Tab 4 has a sim card, but is not GSM and the sim card doesn't fit in either phone. I can't sign up for any Web Text services because it requires you to sign up with a text message verification code. I can't add a number from a friend to get the message, because I need to be in my account to do so. I had set up google voice in the past and my whatsapp number is linked as well as google hangouts, but they send a stand SMS. The bank needs me to fill out forms and stuff to gain access, but it's hard to do without a printer anywhere nearby.
In this day of technology, there has to be a way to get a text message right now to anything.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I'm afraid that all that can be done to solve your problem is to talk to your carrier to receive a sim card that fits (if possible), or find a temporary carrier that is available in your current location so that you can access to your account again. Keep in contact with your bank so that they understand the situation you face.
Alternatively, you can post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum since your problem is not phone related. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
Anyone here able to save contacts directly to smartphone device only without being forced to save all your personal and private contacts on some cloud server..?
You should be able to select "sim only" when adding a new contact. It kinda sucks because sim cards can't hold as much info and if you lose it, you lose everything.
You can turn off contact sync under your Google account settings. That "should " prevent them syncing. I never tried it though.
I’m new to all this but I need a workaround for 2fa. I didn’t verify an email with the account, just my phone. So I forgot to set my new number as a verified device. I have the password and username. Snapchat won’t help me unlock it. Or allow me to change my verification number. My old number is currently taken, I tried to buy another phone with that same number. The current owner of the number won’t pick up or respond. Any help is appreciated.
If you’re using two-factor authentication and lose your phone, change your phone number or lose access to your authenticator app, then you’ll need a recovery code to get back into your Snapchat account.
