How to activate a Ozone? - Dash 3G, Snap General

I have a brand new Ozone that I need to activate. The only number the phone will let me dial is *228. I'm using page plus, so I need to dial *22890. How the hell do I accomplish that when I can't dial anything? When I try to dial it tells me to press the send key to activate.

First you should have already activated your phone though PagePlus or a PagePlus dealer. If you have that done you can program the phone by using *228 and hitting option 1. I would assume it will work fine if you just click activate. However I didn't risk it. Just click activate, followed immediately by end to bypass the screen. Then I used the emergency call option and dialed *228 and then option 1 (it won't allow you to do *22890). This process worked just fine for my Ozone on PagePlus.

Cricket on Qwest XV6800 Issue (Mogul, Titan)

hi all. i have followed numerous guides online, but cannot get my phone on Cricket's network. my ESN is activated, and i can get *611 and *228 to work. all other calls forward to "American Roaming". the current setup is:
Radio 3.42.50
dcd 3.3.4 flash
nue2.47 SPL
1039/1050 PRL
i can access my EPST with a non 000000 code (stupid Qwest) but *228 doesn't work. it will only spit an error after "15 failed attempts" and reboot. i do not have access to a Windows machine running QPST as the drivers are fudged and i would have to reinstall to get the 6700 drivers to work (not my favourite O/S)
i think my issue is in the PRL. Cricket gave me a 5 number MSID last time i called so i think i will be calling them again :/
thanks for any help!
Found this on another forum...hope it helps..

First and most important is the SID number Cricket uses for your area. In Phoenix it is 4923. Every market has a different SID, I had a link to a website that listed all the SID's used by all the carriers in all the US markets but I had to format and reinstall Win XP and lost a great deal of my info. I found the link on Howard Forums, a person whose name was 3 letters starting with X__. Anyway go into that programming menu and in the NAM 1 setup you need to enter the SID, and enter your 10 digit phone number where it asks for MIN and MDN. They may be called other things, (mobile id number, phone number, directory number, MSID) but usually it's just your number you need to enter. The rest of the stuff in the programming menu just leave as it is or set to default value. Now if you are lucky when you dial 611 you will get Cricket's automated system and you only need to give the rep your ESN for them to activate your phone on the network. If you still get VM's CS when dialing 611 then you will need a data cable, free software called BITPIM and a copy of Cricket's current PRL file. That file is automaticly downloaded to your phone when dialing *228 but like I said if your not getting Cricket with 611 then the data cable is needed to manually load the file. Post back here if you have any problems and I will try to help. I have sucessfully done this for two phones (only voice and text msging, don't have parameters to make MMS and BREW work yet)so it is possible. Good luck.

never mind guys. they changed my phone number! $#%#[email protected]!
oh well. anyway, this forum has been great, and i thank you for all the help!
thanks crobs808
i am up and running. it seem that the MSID number is a phone number different from mine, however, if i enter my original phone number as the Mobile Directory number, all is well!
so they can be different on Cricket, though the MDN is the one that calls, texts respond to

Weirdest thing on earth...

Ok I exagerated a bit in the title, but...
I bought this HTC 6800 Bell, from a nice guy, unlocked, upgraded, GPS activated, WM6.1. Bell entered my ESN in their system, gave me my MSL unlock code and when I dial ##(MSL)# and hit the talk button, the phone does not get into programming mode at all. I even tried a few HTC ##codes# and none of them succeed to get into programming mode.
Instead, the phone calls the ##code# and somehow gets redirected to a Bell Mobility recorded message telling me to call the activation hotline. Which I finally did. The person could not do anything, so he sent me to a Bell Mobility store, where another very skilled person was unable to do the programming.
What is supposed to happen when you enter your MSL unlock code? Anyone can help me?
I flashed successfuly a few DCD ROMS (3.3.4, 4.1.2), they all worked fine but I still can't activate the phone with my MSL
Thanks
If you're using DCD's ROMs, make sure you have installed the Bell carrier cab from DCD.
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers%2F&download=dcd+Bell+Carrier+20081031.cab
then try ##778# or ##778[dial]
after that it'll ask your for your MSL... should be just 000000
Thanks. That was the problem. The phone works well now. Thanks again.

Unable to Make/Receive Phone Calls

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. First off, I am an AT&T customer who is trying to get the DVP to work on their network. I bought an unlock code off of ebay (which seemed to work), but I cannot make/receive any phone calls. I can get Edge to work just fine and can make and receive text messages but all of my phone end almost as soon as I start them. And if I try to call the phone from my land line its immediately directed to voicemail.
On a side note, I have tried multiple AT&T sim cards and all have the same result. I also tried a co-workers tmobile sim and everything worked like a charm, so I know the phone isn't broken.
Any suggestions?

Can you try turning off 3G if its available as a option?
3G is an option but turning it on/off makes no difference on the phone side of things.
Could the unlock code that I received cause an issue like this? Is there anything in the EM app that could assist in what is going wrong? It makes no sense to me that I can send/receive text messages but I can't make phone calls.
Can u rest the phone and see if it helps?. Also try manually selecting the network.
The reset doesn't seem to help unfortunately. How do you go about manually selecting a network on the DVP? Is that in the EM app?

No, it should be as a option in the settings->cellular.
Does it even show the network that the device is current on?
It does show its on AT&T, but there is no option to change it I can see. I also configured the APN at the bottom to wap.cingular, but that didn't fix the phone issue.
BTW, appreciate your help on this! I am willing to try anything at this point.
Well, APN has nothing to do with Phone call. I think its just for text messages.
Ok..Here is how you do manual selection using AT command. Do this only if you are comfortable and don't blame me for any screw-up
Go to EM App->Protocol(password 6336#)->TMO->AT Command
No click the input field and type the following(at is automatically populated).
Manually search for the network:
AT+COPS=?
The above command will list all the available network. Once you do that, take a clear pic or write it down exactly and post it here. I will then give the formatted command to register it manually.
APN is for wireless internet access.

I'm a coworker of the OP and here's what we got when we entered that command (formatted as it appears in the window):
+COPS:
(2,"Cingular","Cingular","310410",0),
(1,"Voicestream
Wire","VSTREAM","310260",2),
(1,"Voicestream
Wire","VSTREAM","310260",0),
(1,"","","310420",0),(1,"","","310420",2),,
(0,1,2,3,4),(0,1,2)
OK

Here is the formatted command(for ATT Sim Cards):
AT+COPS=1,2,"310410"
Let me know what is the output and if it succeeds.
To be honest, I didn't even know that this was possible for the DVP yet. I've asked for unlock codes from T-Mobile every month that I've had the device (first attempt January 7th) to no avail.

Entered this in and it returned OK.
It did not enable us to make/receive calls though. It still acts like it's going to dial and just ends abruptly, and calls made to the phone still go straight to voicemail.
Also, just for fun I tried dialing using ATDT and a number and it returned NO CARRIER. Not sure if that will help narrow this down or anything.

I am facing the same issue. Using Unlocked Dell Venue Pro in India - worked wonderfully for a week, and then stopped making calls. my Problem is different. i can receive calls, send receive SMS and browse the internet (on 3G )as well. But Cant make outgoing calls.
Out of curiosity, those that have problems -
1. did u unlock using the AT command?
2. After unlocking, did u change/try changing sim cards (even if its from the same carrier)?

A Vodafone (India), and Airtel (india) sims. worked like a charm for a week.

First off, thanks again for your help on this.
1. The unlock code was purchased from some website and when the AT&T SIM was inserted, it prompted for a code. So no, did not originally use the AT command. Is there a way to relock and try this process again?
2. Yeah, we tried a few different AT&T sim cards with the same result. We tried another T-Mobile sim and that worked perfectly.

Verizon N900V Phone Dialing Issue

I have upgraded to kk 4.4.4, Since I upgrade I have problem to select options using dial pad. From contacts or using dial entering nos in dial pad I can make calls but like when I need to call customer support I can dial there no and connects but when computer gives options like press 1 for voice mail 2 to someone at that time when press nos at dial pad does nothing. I can hear key tone pressed but doesn't select in their options. I can't even listen my voice mail. when dial voice mail it connection and when gives options keypad press high lights and key tone sounds but no selection. i have tried changing one hand options and installing other dialing apps like exdialer, rocket dialer nothing working. When used 3rd party dialer just dial pad changes and when at options selection it shows again stock dial pad. And one more thing when I'm talking on phone and if I get second call phone disconnects.

[GUIDE]RS988 on Verizon

so contrary to what verizon will tell you you Can use the RS988 on big red without issues
here's what you need todo
1. have verizon with a already active LTE sim device
2. goto your local Verizon store and get a new nano-sim tell them you purchased a new device but forgot it at home, you need a blank unregistered sim for this to work! (you can also buy one on amazon)
3. open a support chat or call Verizon and tell the rep you need to activate a new sim and swap it with a existing line
4.write down the MEID and ICCID of the new device/sim power the previous device on the line you want to swap OFF pull the battery if needed it needs to be dead to the world!!
5. give the rep the ICCID and MEID of your device if they ask what device it is just tell them LG G5 do not tell them its a RS988
6. the service rep may tell you you the the MEID is not accepted or you can't use the device just insist they activate the sim anyway tell them you have anouther device coming if that fails close the chat and try with anouther rep
7. once the rep does his thing and activates the sim power on the device, it should eventually popup with a activation screen if it doesn't activate don't panic power off the device remove the sim card power on the device with the sim card wait 1M power it off and reinstall the sim (you may need todo the power off boot without sim more then once)
8. once you are sure the sim is activated and you have a phone number you can reboot the device and change the network mode preference to LTE/CDMA/EVODO or global IF Running a custom rom, it may be flakey getting connected the first couple reboots it will settle once the prl updates
9. additionally you may need manually add the Verizon APN (it should pick it up from the SIM if everything went right)
edit: if anybody knows any buildprops that might need tweaking or adding let me know below
edit:2 if not using the stock rom you will probably need to make the following built prop changes
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
telephony.lteOnGSMDevice=0
ro.telephony.default_network=8
VoLTe calling will not work on anything but the stock rom
For visual voicemail you can use Google phone v23.xx patched here in xda. Make sure to give it all permissions I also changed voice mail number to *86. Boom voice mail available plus you get Google spam/caller ID. Woot!
