I switched to AT&T and want to sell my Sprint HTC One. I noticed after hard resetting the phone, it still has my phone number and current username info under About>Phone Identity. Does anyone know how to remove this info?
You can't really unless u sell it to someone and they activate the phone under their account then once that is done they have to update the phone profile under settings- activate device- update profile

You should be able to do this. I was able to do it on my EVO, but obviously, this info MAY be out of date.
You will need your MSL though, and unless you're rooted, you'll need to call Sprint to get it anyways. As the mod in the linked thread points out, you might as well get their help with it since you'll have to call them anyways. My EVO was rooted so I've known my MSL all along.

I recently installed the Bad Boyz 5.5 ROM and a notification popped up that my device is eligible for 25GB of additional Google Drive space, but below that is says that my device couldn't be verified and I should contact a representative. Found some info regarding this here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/updating-htc-sense-55-claim-25gb-free-google-drive-space
BUT... since we're not supposed to have Sense 5.5 yet, I'm not too keen on contacting anyone. Anyone else get this message?
Just got that notice on blink feed today. It showed me the same message as well.

thanks for the heads up, this is badass. maybe i'll switch to Gdrive instead of dropbox
Even though i didn't get the 40gb they offer 15gb no strings attached

You need a locked bootloader in order to be verified.

So since I'm s-off, I can just do the command to re-lock the phone and then I should be able to get the extra storage?

I tried this already and it didn't work... I'm pretty sure it's because our sense 5.5 roms don't have the official firmware for sense 5.5 we have modified sense 5 firmware

Motox gets 50 free gigs. Maybe it would work to add your account to an in-store demo, get the extra space then factory reset

Good idea, was checking one out at Best Buy yesterday, wish I would have thought of this.
According to the article, you need to have Sense 5.5 installed so it would appear that we'll have to wait until there's an OTA update before we can try to claim the additional space.
No, your bootloader needs to be unlocked in order ti claim the bonus. You can just relock the bootloader, claim it and relock again. The downside is that you'll loose all your data

Nofriendsbz3 already tried what you suggested with no luck. There's obviously more to it than the locked bootloader.
1. Go to a retailer of a droid mini or moto X with live demos. (I went to best buy)
2. Add your gmail account
3. Download, open google drive, accept free 50GB.
4. Remove your google account from demo phone.
5. Profit
That's a lot of space. Lol I can't even fill a 16g flash drive.

Funny story... I followed your suggestion on a Moto X at a Verizon store. Got the 50GB notifivation, but couldn't remove my account info from the phone. So I performed a factory reset, just as a sales rep walked up to ask if I had any questions. The phones is showing a "resetting screen" while the rep looks over my shoulder. I said something along the lines of "Oops... I think I hit wrong button.". I set down the demo phone and walk out of the store.
Got 66 GBs now, so no complaints!

Haha awesome. I almost had to do the same but demo mode wanted a password to reset. To remove account, go to settings,account, push your Gmail account where you can select what gets synced, then top right push the 3 dot menu and remove.

I posted a couple times in the release thread but it got lost in all the posts about rooted and unlocked versions. So has anyone on Verizon with stock moto X receive the 4.4.2 update yet?

So nothing noticeable but nothing worse signal strength same as before?
Signal seems the same for me. Camera seems better for me but who knows. Nothing really noticeable for me but I don't use exchange so I'm not sure if that bug was squashed.
I side loaded it btw didn't get the OTA.

havne't got anything yet over here! still waiting impatiently....
Woke up this morning to a "your phone has an update available" message. Downloaded itself and was waiting to install.
I did notice that I had to reboot the phone to connect to Wifi after the update, but so far everything is looking solid. Haven't checked bluetooth or NFC yet.
I got mine today too..tried to install and it failed.. I'm root using jcases method of rockmymoto and had to do it by adb shell.. Could that affect it?
Slapped my Moto
Woke up this morning to the update! After today's use, battery is definitely better.

Moto service automatically downloaded 135MB 4.4.2 OTA for me, OVER THE MOBILE DATA. I only had 300MB data for the month and am not amused that the phone just decided to download OTA by itself even when WIFI was turned off. Furthermore, I can't find any place to disable such behavior for the future. Any suggestion ?
Mine is verizon.
Thanks.

I've looked in and out and haven't found any setting that can disable such OTA behavior.
I'm actually using another carrier's SIM on this phone ---- Verizon Moto X is gsm unlocked.
What if this happens when I'm roaming internationally (with a non-Verizon carrier) ?
Downloading OTA via mobile data without consent just doesn't make sense.

I can't understand about OTA behavior it when your WiFi is turned off but it's working... how it possible ? You can switched off on that time.. Can you share some attachment ?

If you are rooted you can freeze MotorolaOTA app or rename it.
One of my sons deleted the other's profile in the Magic Timer app (Oral B/Disney). Is there a way to recovery the data without root? I might even consider with root, but I'm a little nervous, being on Republic Wireless rooting my X2.
I'm really tempted to root my phone since it seems many of the recovery programs seen to require it, but I'm not sure if they'll actually do what I need to have done.

Sometimes the app keeps data of users on the own carpets the app creates when you install it. To access that carpets you need root.

I subscribed to the forum of Moto X 2014 and I can see all the topics as a list. But you need to see the post in a PC because you will need to download some files and flash it via fast boot.... Long story short, you can't root your phone via some app or something look me that.
hi my names nina and i am a innocent woman that bought a phone off this guy on craigslist for 100 dollars .he said it would work on T mobile and he said it was unlocked and he lied, its locked!!:crying::crying::crying: i gave it to my brother to try and bypass the samsung account screen, he spent days on you tube trying to root or do whatever you guys call it, i don know. I'm really stressed out because its supposed to be for my new job that takes this rabbit software for android .i can't use my iPhone for this app. XDA is my last resort to make use of this s6 active or I'm screwed because i don't have more money to buy another phone:crying: .its in mint condition and is water resistant and its doing nothing but sitting on the table!! Some one please save me ,my job starts in 5 days !
ps . theres no way to enable OEM unlock or usb debugging .whatever the hell that means ,my brother told me to put this on here, hope it helps.
What exactly is it telling you? Does it seem the phone was stolen? Have you checked the imei to make sure it is not blacklisted? I believe swappa.com has a free imei check to see if it's tied into another person's account. $100 seems a little too cheap for this device.

I haven't worked with it in a while. But, go onto Samsung’s website and bring up the support page.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
Select mobile and fill out the info it asks you.
After you installed the software, look for software recovery. I'm on mobile right now, I'd give you a direct link to the software otherwise.
