I need to call 611 and gripe about some issues i'm having with my cappy. Does anyone know if at$t will run any sort of diagnostics remotely that will alert them that i'm running serendipity?

Nope. When they check up, it's usually just the IMEI. They ask what you're using (KB1, JH7...) but they assume most don't even know what that means or where to find that info.
I recently have called them from my phone and they didn't mention anything about it not being stock. When I look at my account online from my computer it still shows the captivate.

I'd be careful with Cyanogen though. When I flashed Cyanogen, I received an e-mail from Google saying "Welcome to Nexus S!". I didn't check, but I wouldn't be surprised as AT&T started listing my number online as a Nexus S or some other random Android phone that isn't the Captivate.
In fact, that same question occurred to me today, because I'm running Cyanogen on my HTC Inspire and I need to dial in so they can set up my Voicemail (for some reason, whenever I switch phones my voicemail gets screwed up).

Are you sure you got it on cyanogen, and not on supercurios port? Because the cm rom has correct model numbers, where as supercurios port is a direct rip from the Nexus S.

The email you receive is not from at&t and is just because the rom uses nexus s market foot print.

The answer is almost certainly no. There is a capability using device management tools to report back ROM details but right now the care reps don't have any access to it or any procedures that use it. They don't even have access to your IMEI so don't worry about custom ROMs unless you are physically returning the device.

They cannot tell that your running a custom rom or even rooted.

What's more, based on my experiences with the Customer Service reps, most of them wouldn't care. The Front Office might, if you had to send in your phone, but every CS rep I've ever talked to has been mighty laid-back about the "rules."

I realize that. But because of the fact that it uses the Nexus S market footprint, it would also (logically) use the same Nexus S footprint over the AT&T network. Otherwise, what you said makes no sense.

Oh gosh that is so far from wrong it's not funny. "Care reps", otherwise known as technicians who fix your problems have every right to access your IMEI number without your consent. Your phone's IMEI is stored by AT&T as a ref number, and can be accessed from the AT&T database at any given time, even by the technicians.

The nexus s is available on at&t? No. So why would it have an at&t foot print?

From my experience i had a problem and they started asking for the baseband version. They found out i was rooted but i acted like i didnt know anything so they just told me to flash back to stock. So it really doesnt matter

There is an IMEI record for the device you purchased NOT what you are actually using on the network. There is also a TAC reference collected by OTA whenever the SIM goes into a new device, but the care reps (industry standard term, btw) have no scripts using it as far as I know. For example, AT&T still reports me as having a Bold 9700 on my 1st line when it has actually been a Cappy since August. Bottom line, AT&T generally doesn't give a crap what device you use.

That was because I didn't know a lot back then.... but it wasn't a big deal. They just told me to go back to stock and nothing else happened.

Happened to me....I never used supercurios...only CM7.
Fot the OP I doubt they can tell....even less they don't care. I used the sim from an old Sony dumb phone in my old unlocked Nokia N79...and used an unlimited data plan for $15 and tethered.
So yeah, don't worry.
So I switched to pre paid and I'm loving it. I get the same speeds as on a plan,(my area sucks) but unlimited data, for less money. 2 thumbs up!
What carryer you on? What was the specific plan?
So that we may all have a lookieloo and benefit from your shared joy
AT&T $50 unlimeted go phone. Buy a crappy phone activate it and then put the sim in your thrill,but you gota activate it on the crappy phone. Don't tell them your using a smart phone.
Or straight talk for 45/mo
Just order an att compatible sim card from them and your good yo go... full 4g
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
What r u running I just got one on prepaid stock it doesn't work on data.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
I'm running thrillseeker. If you activate the sim through the thrill then att knows your on a smart phone and want to charge you extra for data. activate the sim through an old crappy go phone and it will work.
Never knew that!
Just a quick question, If I got a Skyrocket. Activated on a crappy phone, then got the prepaid thing for AT&T would I get 4G LTE speeds if my area has it or no.. Thank you
IDK? Not sure how all that works? The pre paid card says 3g???

I my Sprint HTC One today I haven't activated it yet but I noticed that the boot screen is the stock HTC one with no mention of sprint. I'm also missing all Sprint software there is only a mention of Sprint ID in the wallpaper section. I just wanted to know if there's anything wrong with my phone. Anyone have any ideas why this is?
Where did you buy this phone? Is it used/refurb?
I work for Sprint and none of the sprint software shows up until the phone activates. I thought the same thing when I got my phone. Once it goes through the activation everything will appear.

^ This. When I activated my phone, I was excited that it didn't have a bunch of Sprint junk on it, then it said something like "installing Sprint junk" and there it was.

Most of them can be installed through the Play Store (for someone who wants more than none )
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Anyone tempted? I love my one and the only upgrade you get is more megapixels and a fastest CPU but not by much? Stock android I guess by recent cm builds have been rock solid for me. I'm still considering it though nevertheless lol. Other peoples thoughts? Also phandroid confirmed that sprint let out a statement regarding this activation.

I believe you would need to order a SIM card for lte connectivity. They don't have them in brick and mortar stores

Cant you just remove the one from the ONE and insert into the Nexus 5?
I think you can put a sim in it from your One.
What I want to know is if you get one from tmo, will it work on sprint? If I put a sim in it...?

You'll find ruim in dfs, if you are using the hacked version of cdmaws, I'm not sure if it works or not. If it's too confusing for you then viper32 here can help you out with a remote flash if you're interested in having it done. He is highly qualified to do so, just check out some of his threads. There are plenty of tuts out there, just be careful and read all you can, as to not mess up your phone.
