There you go. That's the reason. there have been plenty of threads about the fact that you cant change your VZ account with a sim in a non recognized VZ device.

Beats me, perhaps you need to Call VZ on this, you may try the following on the N6, but if not seen as a VZ device it may not work:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/1...e-and-data-now-works-on-nexus-6-with-verizon/
you should also be on 5.1 first before trying, as it isn't supported on the N6 without it, which could also generate the message.
just chatted and they will be sending me a new sim(current one was cut from gnex phone)
i shouldnt have any issues activating the sim right?

Does anyone know of an app where my g1 can track another g1 via gps? Basically, if Latitude would actually update for me, that would work. Im still playing with it to get it to work but it seems to have problems updating regularly.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if there was an alternative to Latitude so my wife and I can see where each other is. No I don't suspect cheating, I just hate having to answer calls on my way home from work to hear "Where are you so I know when to start dinner?" If I share my location, she knows right where I am and I can continue streaming pandora in the car.
Anyone wanna try to tackle this if there is no good alternative? I need to find a "Android Development for Dummies" book.
You could try Glympse. It's concept is a bit different though: It allows to send a text-message or e-mail with a link that one can use to track you. You would have to do that every time you start your way home though. It also is more real-time than Latitude, therefore draining the battery more quickly. Either way I recommend you to give it a try.

Glympse is very cool, especially the browser app that goes with it.
It was exclusive to android i think with iphone coming later, so its a quality app, no question.
According to the website of GLYMPSE , the app is available for Windows mobile phones too.
It says you can download it on the marketplace for windows mobile
I am looking half an hour now for that program, but cant find it..
Can somebody / anybody please sent me a link ???
Your help will be appreciated !! thanks

Hi, I am in the UK and with 3. My galaxy S came with the Skype on 3 and it can call phone numbers for free. (You still need Skype credits.) I think the way it works is it actually dials a 3's service number and then you get redirect to the phone number you want to call.
My question is:
1) If I flash to other ROM, can still use Skype on 3 for free? I make a lot of international calls by Skype...
2) Can I flash back to 3's official ROM?
Cheers.
there is no skype for android yet
at least not officially
the next best thing like skype + video VoiceIP is Fring

I hate you so much right now
Does it have video call?
I tried fring and even the voice was a disaster...
voiceIP only it seems
also it FORCES YOU TO TURN OFF WIFI so that you can only use GPRS/EDGE/3G to use skype
so that was the deal, so that you can't get away of their data plans
IMO it's useless if you can't use it on WiFi
i'm going back to Fring for Video to Video chats
Is there any trick to use video chat (besides fring) on yahoo/gmail/skype with a PC?
Service no available in your area

Same for me in South Africa on 3G
it'll only work if you are using the "3 network" from UK
you can install and run it, but it wont let you connect to make a call
I cannot transfer the application to my phone, it says that the file format cannot be transferred, is there any other software I have to upload to my PC before downloading the application? I'm on 3 Ireland and they haven't release skype for this phone here yet. Also Phone is on vodafone but unlocked, therefore I do not have 3 Ireland d=software installed yet
Thanks
you need another browser, like SkyFire for example
Hi guys, I've one question for who is using skype on three..Did you notice delays when someone is texting you? i mean, i get like 30 50 minutes delay on each text...is that normal?
I've tried this on the .206 and .208 leaks, both of which won't use google voice to dial out. I've tripled checked, and google voice is set to "Use Google Voice to make all calls". I've tried uninstalling and re-installing (on both builds). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, has anyone found a fix?
Also - I've tried "Ask every time I make a call", this also fails to work (though I only tried this in .208).
Works for me (I'm on .206). I have it set to "Only use Google Voice for international calls" though, not sure if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately that did not work for me. I've now tried "use Google Voice to make all calls", "Only use Google voice for international calls" and "Ask every time I make a call" - none of these result in using Google Voice for a call (local, domestic, - I haven't tried ILD, as I don't want to incur a charge).
The only thing that appears to work is "Don't use google voice for any calls", though I am beginning to suspect this is due to a bug, not design.

OK, did a little more testing - and stumbled across something looks like only 7 digit dialing is affected. 10 digit dialing does indeed use google voice. Frankly, I'm not sure if this was the case in stock GB or not - with out a way to roll back, I can't test.
I thought gv only did international calls, at least within the USA.

Thank you! Google Voice worked great on my Galaxy S2 with GB and ICS, but I'm not able to place out going calls with my Galaxy S3. I tried your advice of using 10 digit dialing and it appears to be working!

I have used it on .206 a few times and it works, it just doesn't show the "calling with google voice" dialog. I checked my minutes usage and no international minutes show up, just night/weekend or anytime minutes. If it wasn't working, there would be international minutes on my bill/vzw usage app.

To avoid this you can just call up VZW Support and remove international dialing from your account. That way if it somehow doesn't use GV to dial internationally in the future, you'll just get the "you must enable international dialing blah blah" message, instead of crazy charges on your bill

READ!!
Code:
I do not know if this will work for everyone else.
But it works for me, so im sharing EXACTLY what I did.
Some things may or not be unneeded, but i dont want to leave
anything out.
Please post your results to we can determine if I
was just super lucky or it can actually get results.
1. Get a AT&T branded dumbphone, put your sim in.
2. Talk to AT&T ( live chat or talk ) and tell them you no longer have a smartphone , want to get rid of your smartphone data plan and want to dumb phone unlimited data plan. *important* make sure somewhere to include the IMEI of your dumbphone so they can manually put it in the system. Then let it sync for a few hours.
3. Now you will need to put your sim card into a smartphone that AT&T does not have the IMEI in their database. EX. I used a radio/sim unlocked droid 3. Now run it for a few hours and let everything sync again.
List of smartphones phones compatible -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446373
4. After everything shows up that you have the non smartphone data plan ( go myatt on att's website ), and under your number you should not see your phone because it will be confused..
5. Put your sim into a AT&T branded smartphone. I used a iPhone 4 16gb.
If everything went correct, it should not automatically bump you up to a 3gb/month tiered plan.. In fact at least for me data did not work at ALL and said I was not subscribed to a network.
6. Contact AT&T and tell them your data is not working, and because that your on a nonsmartphone data plan and non on a smartphone plan.
Hopefully they say this:
JUST BECAUSE THIS WORKED FOR ME DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL 100% WORK FOR YOU.. I TRIED MY BEST TO WRITE WHAT I DID. I DID THIS OVER A SPAN OF A MONTH, NOT A DAY SO REMEMBER!
i reinstalled the good old reliable R1HDzenui.zip rom which has always worked well for me on the Blu R1 HD. i downloaded it from a link provided by "vampirefohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/custom-rom-r1hd-zen-ui-t3473593" on this forum. It generally works fine but I can't add a vpn. I am looking for a way of adding the built in vpn that comes with android marshmallow. I would like to use it with Linphone to make sip calls though an asterisk pbx to save my cell minutes. It seems that I was able to do this previously with this rom. Maybe it needs to reenabled. Reinstalled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I just looked at vpn setting on v8.7 and when I click the + to add a connection I got a pop up message telling me that I need to set screen lock before I can add a vpn connection, so maybe you can try to set your lock screen first then try add vpn.

Nope. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't get the plus even after I do that.
When I press the 3 dots on the upper right., I get the option to select Always-on-VPN and a dialog box comes up that says Select VPN profile and .... with a radio button checked off with None as the option.

Thanks for your response. I bought a new R1HD and i was unable to unlock the bootloader so I returned it. Is it possible to hack the ones they are selling now? I used the SP....tool with the scatter text file. I am asking since you have done a lot of work with this phone.

The spflash tool method worked up to v6.5
Then needed to use dirty-cow method from 6.6 - 7.4.2
After that have not been able to do anything with v8.1 and above
Is is possible to add the vpn after the fact as a patch to the kernel or as a system application when the phone is rooted like mine is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I read in your post, you have created an 8.x (oreo)rom for this phone and installing that would solve the problem. The phone runs so well with 6.0 marshmallow, I'm hesitant to go through all the trouble of wiping it to upgrade it. It there a way of upgrading without doing a fresh install?
