City ID - 10 day trial?? what the heck. - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

So maybe it was because I was running an aftermarket ROM on my captivate, but the city/state of an incoming call would show up when the phone was ringing.
Today I got the first call from someone not in my contacts, it showed up with city & state info, but then when I hung up.. up came this city ID app, saying it was a 10 day trial.. wtf? how is something like this now a pay service?
I wouldn't think I would need an app for this. Anyone have a good replacement? or maybe it's part of some of the ROMs that are being worked on for vivid here (going to try rum raider once Im back from a business trip).

It seems to. If I clear all data and flash a rom it seems to give me another trial.

Yes, I just got a call today and it asked about the 10 day trial. Happens every time I reflash this rom and clear data.

Yup. I've had the 10 day free trial for the month and a half I've had the phone.. Flash new build, get new trial. I never hit 10 days...

Can anyone recommend a good free alternative?

Airave

So, my 5 lines of HTC One's from Sprint were having signal problems. Don't know why because all the Evo's before never had this issue, they replace one of them to test it, problem persist.
They sent me today a free device that boost Sprint coverage and it's awesome! Full coverage now and am cool, if you guys have this issue then call Sprint and they send you one for free without monthly fee!

They've been doing data since the second update. I've had one the past 2 years that does data. I usually just use wifi at home though.

When you get time, call the Airave support number. I had the same issue with my GNex and they reactivated it for me (no data wipe) and it worked perfectly after that.

ARHD 10.1 Help with constant data switching

Maybe someone can help me. Clean flashed to ARHD 10.1 a week ago and am having an issue with constantly dropping my data connections. My phone is pretty much constantly going from LTE to 4g to no data connection when not on WiFi. I'm on AT&T. Anything I can do? I'm not a pro at anything beyond basic Rom flashing. Thinking of just going back to stock. Thanks for any help!

I just flashed the newest version of ARHD (that's android revolution HD, for the person who asked) 10.2 and don't seem to be having the issue anymore. I'm not sure if it had something to do with only being able to select the international version during Aroma install on 10.1, or what was going on. Might have also been a combination of things. At any rate, i figured I'd post in here, as I'm trying to get my post count up, so I can post in forums actually dedicated to the Roms. Cheers, everyone! :good:
ha! I'm doing the same thing. This is what I get for getting an iPhone. Glad you got it squared away.

[Q] Missing Sprint software

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.

[Q] Call Problems CM10.1.3-RC

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.
Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.
Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.
Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.

What choices do I have

Sprint has a policy of switching costumers to a different device after 3 exchanges. I'm waiting for my 3rd HTC one, all for the same reason with the SIM card error. I can't imagine that this replacement will be any different. With that being said what choices will I have for a new device

S4 pretty much. Maybe a Note II.
Quick question, are you taking the SIM card out at any time, or are you not touching it? Because I only ever had problems with mine after I removed it from my phone and put it back in.
I also have the sim card error but it comes and goes every once and a while. When ever I get it it usually goes away after 15-20 min. Even with all the issues the HTC One has I would never trade it in for any of the phones available atm.

Same. I haven't had the sim error, does it just deny LTE? If thats all it does I'd suffer for a bit (if you don't have a time restraint) and see what the Nexus5 announce says. The word is it has the CDMA bands for Sprint use and I've been itching to get my hands on a true nexus phone.

I've never touched it. My thought I'd that I shouldn't have to do quick temporary fixes on the phone. That and possibly giving Sprint a reason to deny liability.

Have you tried updating your Service profiles?
Just contact Sprint via chat, and ask them to re activate your device. They should ask you for your IMEI number.
Make sure they ask you for it. I had this happen to me after I got my phone's board replaced. The chat guy kept telling me to get a new SIM card, and I kept telling him it was pretty much the same phone, and exactly the same card. So yeah.

From what I remember when I worked there it had to be a manufacturer defect every time and the 3 swaps have to occur within a 6 month time frame. Not sure if yours fell into that. If they did then your store might be more screwy than others. Or you just weren't upset enough

It is not policy to switch after ther 3rd time it is at the discretion of the store. I doubt you would get a S4 they will probably offer a S3 I'm pretty sure a S3. I work at Sprint in Tampa Fl. If you like I could check tomorrow what they are offering for a trade. We use a system called Eticket and it will till me what they have to trade

Seriously? An S3? That doesn't make any sense to me. It should definitely be an S4. When we had the EVO and Epic come out a lot of EVOs had issues and several people were able to do the swap and we got them into Epics. A phone a year older with much lower specs shouldn't qualify as a comparable device.

Scotch tape fixed it for my wife's phone also make sure SIM surface is super clean. My wife's phone had a big greasy finger print on contact side and recurring issues but after scotch taping on plastic side to keep it tight it's fixed. But I never had this issue on mine, I did however blow a speaker and swapped it a month ago.
I wouldn't take another phone over this still.
