On my Nexus, I used to be able to buy apps in the market, and bill it to my tmo bill. That option isn't on this version of the market. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable it? Maybe modifying some code? Similar to the market hacks for the early froyo roms?
My phone is just so...VIBRANT
That option appears for me only when I hit the market over 3g.
The market switches to 3g if I select tmobile billing while on wifi for me.

Quick question for anyone who uses Sprint Navigation on the Touch.....
When you access www.sprint.com/navigation and enter your phone number and pin (which you get from the application on the phone) you are able to enter favorite addresses and sync them with your device. If you go to your profile, it states that your subscription ends 1 month after you began it. After that expiration date, you have to "renew" your subscription online, even though the application on the phone never ceases to work (it's subscription does not expire).....Sprint Nav is included in my plan.
Any thoughts on why this is?

Well, I was able to get the Verizon service on my Xoom but signing up on the website for My Verizon to see my data usage has been a nightmare. The issue is that their process sends a text message to the device which contains a temporary password in order to complete the registration. Obviously, the Xoom cannot send or receive text messages. After being on hold forever, I was told a password would be sent to me by snail mail in a few days. Has anyone else here experienced this? It does not sound like Verizon prepared in any way for this.
After talking with Verizon it took 3-4 days and I got my letter in the mail. A pain but not too bad.

Worth trying:
Go to a Verizon store and ask them to add a phone to your account long enough to get the text and activate your account, make sure they take the phone off of your account.
There are fees attached to activation, but losing a Xoom sale might be worth them waving it for you.
Anyone figured out how to activate it online?
If you get one over the weekend, the activation is waived... That's as of now, but don't know for how long. If you call about the text, they will remove it, and setup/activation instructions should've come with it if you got it from Verizon. If you got it elsewhere, you're best off goin to a local store than dealing with CS over the phone, as it gives you an opprotunity to talk to a human being about data packages and any other services you want/don't want.
**Also, to save on your data, set the xoom to connect to wifi automatically and I downloaded an "airplane mode" widget from the market to keep data off when I don't want my xoom on my 3g misbehavin and using data. Good luck and enjoy your gadget.
Coming from an iPhone on AT&T, I'm looking for any solutions for visual voicemail on the N4. Does it only work on phones officially supported/sold by AT&T? Any solutions without redirecting my voicemail to another provider such as Google Voice?
I don't see at&t's visual voicemail app in the play store but you might be able to side load it just fine (if your on the LTE data plan that includes visual voicemail). Or, just go with Google voice. Why don't you want to use that? I've used it on many phones for a few years now and it works just fine. Never had an issue with it.
There's also apps like youmail, etc. but behave like Google voice AFAIK

+1 on the G Voice. I was in the same boat as you (iPhone 4 on AT&T) and switched to G Voice with the Nexus. Haven't looked back. Also, if you used Voice on iOS it's completely different and integrated tighter on Android.
Ah, there's an AT&T Visual Voicemail app... It didn't occur to me to check the play store first. And there's also an AT&T Messages app too that cannot be used at the same time as the AT&T VVM app. I'm not sure what plan exactly I'm on, when I called them I told them to provision my SIM for 4G/LTE (APN: phone) even though I know the N4 is not an LTE phone, but wanted to make sure LTE is available if I move the SIM to a different phone.
Based on the reviews I'm not sure I want to mess with either of these 2 apps
I'll try and live without VVM for a while and then consider using GV if I must have it.
Just use GVoice. The att VVM app doesn't work well on non-specifically supported devices. I have a vivid right now and even though the vivid is a supported device, the custom ROM I'm running doesn't like the VVM app. GVoice works great though and has so many options like setting different greetings for different groups/people.

Are you prepaid? I've heard, at least from a friend on T-Mobile Monthly4G prepaid plans that they're unable to use the conditional call forwarding settings. The network denies the change.
Can somebody point me on a good tutorial for GVoice? Can get it to work... AT&T regular iPhone plan before..

I ran into this. I had to go into google voice on the phone and disable it,?. Then the number you must call using your phone will go through. Sorry, can't remember exactly, but you must inter that mmi number before you have it set up on your phone...

Has anyone figured out a way to side load a working AT&T VVM .apk? Yes, I know gvoice is an option but I prefer to try to keep all vm's under AT&T.

I decided that I can live without VVM, I just do it the old school long press 1 now... At some point I think I will port my mobile number to GV and get it over with, which will also get me ready for the rumored Google cell service late next year.
The N4 is not officially supported by the AT&T VVM app, but it may or may not work. You'd have to find a recent apk from someone and just install it on your N4. Then you have to call AT&T as they have to enable the VVM feature for you. If you already put the correct N4 IEMI on your account they will probably not do it, they will say your unknown device is not supported. If they don't pay attention, they might enable the feature anyway. If you go through the pain, let us know what you found out.

Good news is that I have not added the N4's IMEI on the account, it still has my GS3 listed. I will give AT&T a call and have them add my IMEI and the VVM feature to my account and if all goes well, they will get it done. I saw a .apk floating around here a few months ago, not sure if that is still the current package or not but I'll report back and let you know of my experience.
I'd look for a very recent apk, the LG Optimus G is a supported device for VVM so chances are it may also work on the N4.

Upload the apk to the phone and then install the apk on the device. Once installed, reboot device. Once rebooted, open the ATT voicemail app so it can call home and configure itself. I'm using an international version of the motorola razr hd and ATT VVM app works just fine for me.
Just note, you won't be able to get the apk from google play. you'll need to search the interwebz for the apk.
One thing to note, if you're not using an AT&T branded phone, you do have to use workarounds for installing ATT VVM app.
T-Mobile has an interesting app that switches calls and basic texts (SMS not MMS) over WiFi when you lose cellular coverage. There's not too many interesting things in there, but its something that can be deployed to an ATIV S for those of you who are using T-Mobile. This is only the T-Mobile USA version. The T-Mobile European devices might have something similar.
This app has some hooks to RPC Server, so I have no clue what it completely does (as RPCServer.dll can't be actively decompiled easily), so I can't test this. It also has a PROVXML included as well, so I'm not sure how you deploy that on Samsungs. I pulled the app from the GDR2 ROM available for the Lumia 521.
The link below is everything I extracted of use from the CommonFiles, so it includes a few other T-Mobile apps in there too.
The name of the file is CommonFiles.7z and is ~100mb.

WiFi Calling
It installs on an interop-unlocked ATIV S, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. The app can't remember its settings between launches, and turning the feature on doesn't do anything.
The manifest says it requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, and XAP contains a RPC native component. My guess is that it requires an RPC service only available on T-Mobile-branded phones.
Hmm. Is there anyplace in the registry or something that has a list of available services? I can look in the ROM for it, or I guess that could be its own thread/discussion for another time.
Anyways, users who reviewed the app in the Store mention that they are billed for the usage of minutes and texts using the app, so I'm not sure how they authenticate with the SIM or something.
EDIT:
Here's a good note for those who didn't go to the WP App Store:

Works great on Nokia Lumia 521 except for an outgoing SMS glitch (certain SMS character lengths that end in a punctuation, number, or other special character WILL NOT send over WiFi calling but send fine over cellular). Make sure to update your 911 address online with TMo or it won't work! Also call 611 if you're on a grandfathered plan with actual minutes, and have t-mobile add WiFi calling feature to your plan for free so that calls made using WiFi calling won't count against your plan minutes. If your Lumia didn't come with the app from the factory, you have to hard reset (erases all personal data) after installing app to get it to work.

Hmm, that last part is awkward. No way I'm hard-resetting if I don't have to, although it *would* be convenient for international travel (SMS are free on T-Mobile but calling from overseas still costs a little bit unless doing it using WiFi calling).
You can indeed find the list of all installed services in the registry. They're under HKLM; you may need to dig a bit as they are in a few places. (I keep meaning to provide a registry search feature, but alas, this has not happened yet.) Of course, most of the registry entries for them aren't very informative; these things aren't supposed to be user-visible, so I'm not sure if you'll recognize a WiFi-Calling-related service when you see it anyhow. Also, it might not be available on other (non-T-Mobile-branded) phones anyhow, and we'd need root or a custom ROM to install such a thing.

you are missing two additional parts...this xap is just the "front end" to the whole Wi-Fi calling mechanism. You need the Wi-Fi calling dll and the certificate. It "forgets" the settings unless everything is in place.
If you really want to get it working, get the Lumia 810 FFU and extract it as a vhd. It has everything "baked in" including the certificates and the necessary "ims.config" file.

Not sure if everyone knows this but, there is a App in the marketplace that will make calls over WI-FI or your data plan using your Google voice account. It's called "Spare Phone"
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/spare-phone/9508dd56-e881-420f-9185-96ccba768463
I left the US for a business trip, I used this app with the hotel's Wi-Fi for the entire week. No extra fees when Verizon said it would be almost $0.80 a min to make a call and $2 per MB...Wi-Fi only for a week.
It is $3.50 tho...
It also doesn't use your tmobile number. That's the big draw of WiFi calling.

I guess I need to sit down with the T-Mobile app for several hours, it might be using a sip server or something along those lines for the main cellular interface. I'll need to see what all this does too. If anyone want to help, just download the Lumia 521 ROM with NaviFirm+
I believe the product code and the model number is in the 521 thread in my signature.

I don't know if this has been common knowledge or not, but it is possible to send/receive sms on the tablet if you have a fully operational line on your sim card. Data only won't work. But, if you take the sim from your phone and put it in, you can indeed text.
Hangouts doesn't work, I'm assuming because they restrict the sms feature from tablet-specific versions. But, I did find an app that happily sends/receives texts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigaomobile.messenger&hl=en
MMS isn't working for me, I don't know if it's a limitation of the app or my apn not being proper(I did set it to have the correct mmsc info).
Maybe someone can get a hangouts app from a phone and sideload it onto their tablet to test that out.
I'm able to send and receive SMS on my LTE table, I use the built in messages app.
^Must be a difference in the US and EU variations then, because there is no option for SMS in the US version that I could find.
Hangouts?
I use 8sms on consumer cellular sim, data&txt in Colorado. Uses either tmo or att
Textra works great as well.
Until I was able to disable at&t all access (pre loaded bloatware on my U.S. model ) it was the SMS app even on the consumer cellular Sim.
