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.

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.

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.

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.

if you are going to leave att i would suggest just about any android phone NOT on att
But I'm with ATT now ad my cotract ends in 2012 so forget the epic
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
epic is only good rooted with roms flashed, maybe they say that about the captivate but the epic is worse. the launcher sux and cant have the icons changed. you can fix that with launcher pro but then keys and some widgets dont work so to update you need to switch launchers back. the mesaging app sux, it doesnt have the ability to multi select contacts like the other galaxy s phones. and you are getting basically the same phone as the captivate plus a ffc which i find useless because sprints network sux too much to video call. even there 4g if you find an area that has it is nothing special. rarely does it actually beat att's 3g in real world performance. that's if you can find a location that has wimax.
ok so the epic has a camera flash and a keyboard. the keyboard might be nice for games if that is important to you but the thing is just big. plus there are few situations that you need a camera flash and a led flash is enough to be effective.
with the right modem and kernel the captivate has the best call quality out of any phone i have ever owned period! i suggest the kc1 modem and speedmod of similar kernel on a ported rom of your choice. for that reason i will not recomend the inspire though the inspire specs out very nice and has comperable performance. i think it is a lesser phone in talk quality and build quality, but if camera flash and screen size and hspa+ are important by all means get one.
not sure about the quantum what is it?
i5? really on an androidforum? are you trying to get flamed? well apple has some high quality hardware/build quality but the iphone4 had a few mistakes like glass on both sides that is prone to breakage do to microscratches on the edges from using a mandatory case that prevents antenna issues. some of there efforts are too little too late and they still have a very limited os. untill they have some form of live homescreen applications i wouldn't. ios can support as some stock apps have live icons to show missed call quantity or unread messages, i also think the calandar icon shows date and folders show the contents. but steave jobs must not think it is important to the users. the ui gets cluttered untill you manually organize apps into folders. and the funny thing about note and reminders is you have to remember to read them or set alarms, i never set alarm because i never here them, so id rather have them stare me in the face in a widget so i can see it multiple times before it is etched into my memory. i need widgets or a smart phone is not worth haveing. [email protected] apple and steve jobs idea of a ui. iphones suck and macs suck harder!

Epic 4g is same as captivate with CDMA and slide keyboard...so its more of Sprint versus Att.
LG quantum is WP7, so its your to choose between OS...everyone here (including me) will tell you to opt for Android as its awesome...WP7 is behind android in terms of development..may be after another couple of year I would consider WP7 (if it survives till then), till then Android rocks
iPhone 5...I am sure till that comes out Android will reach another level of Awesomeness...So dont even mention that here....

Sorry it was in Q & A section..couple of threads below yours
Okay, took some time, but here it is, AT&T Visual Voicemail for AT&T customers using ANY & ALL Roms, custom or other than CWS__001 stock.
Please feel free to use it or link to it here, just make sure you give me a little love (mention) & hit the thanks button.
This is intended for chefs to provide cooked in or as an addition for their AT&T users. It should also work on Captivate, Captivate Glide, Inspire, SGS & SGS2 roms.
READ ME: For Visual Voicemail to work, you need to either have one of the Android 2.3.x officially provisioned for the service or you must have paid for the service.
On some devices, you may need to set up the AT&T PTA APN for this to work.
I do not publish hacks or cracks that violate terms of service or help you avoid paying for services. If you have an LTE Android Device Visual Voicemail sock was added to your account at provisioning & will then work on any of your devices with this file.
Thanks a ton for this. I know it's a small feature but one I use a lot so I appreciate you doing this. I just installed it on HoliRaider 0.3 and it works perfectly.
Just so I'm clear, I'm still on my inspire but as long as I'm running a ROM other than stock, this will work?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
This will work on stock as well, but most stock roms already have it, I know all LTE devices do & come with it free at least. However, this will NOT mess up your trunk or sock like the AT&T Messages app will. THIS WILL WORK WITH YOUR EXISTING VOICEMAIL & WILL NOT CAUSE THE ISSUES THAT AT&T MESSAGES CAUSED.
It is the standard AT&T Visual Voicemail that comes on the vivid & SGS2 SkyRocket.
Again, It should also work on stock roms.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, I keep getting a " account cannot be verified at this time" prompt after calling my voicemail. I've tried it three times and keep getting the same message.

It will work on an Inspire, but your account has to be provisioned for it. All LTE accounts come provisioned with the sock required for use.
So , if you have a Vivid or any other LTE device or have used Visual Voicemail in the past it will work on the Inspire as verified by another member.
Visual Voicemail from AT&T is free on certain 2.3+ and all LTE Android devices. There is a chart at the AT&T Wireless website. If you are on one of the devices, or purchased the service it works on any device. This is not a hack or crack however, that will get you something you didn't pay for.

I used Google Voice on my old HTC Aria and it seemed a bit buggy. I've been impressed with the ATT Visual Voicemail. I finally grew some cajones and flashed Rumraiders Rom and it's working flawlessly. I was previously rooted just using the stock rom and no issues on the stock either.
Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk
I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.
yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...
I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.
