I just bought a new unlocked HTC MyTouch 3G from Newegg this past President's Day weekend,
"contract free". The specs list it as having Android OS v1.5:
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502055&cm_re=mytouch_3g-_-75-502-055-_-Product
I intended to just use my existing T-Mobile prepaid account and just enjoy the phone using wi-fi. The problem is, I cannot log into Google using the phone b/c I don't even see wi-fi as an option. One of the big reasons I bought this phone was to use wi-fi to get my apps. I don't need 3G service.
So what can I do?
HTC MyTouch 3G unlocked (white) w/ 3.5mm jack
This phone doesn't offer the option of enabling wifi to login to your Google account during the startup. It also won't let you get into the ROM without logging in. You should be able to purchase a one-day data plan with your prepaid SIM for $2 from the activation menu to get logged in. Everything else after that you will be able to use wifi for. If, for whatever reason, you need to do a factory reset in the future, you'll have to do the same thing again.
EDIT: Secondly, I highly suggest reading through this post to learn a little bit about your phone.
there are ways around the Google sign in. just search Google I did it on my friends Droid. I think you tap the 4 corners of the screen in a certain order

That's still talking about the four corners trick which doesn't work on stock ROMs, and that's also talking about a custom ROM which a totally different ball game. If he was to root, he could simply bypass the login screen by hitting home and enable wifi, but where he's sitting at right now he'd have to use the goldcard method (which means having to borrow a friends phone running Android to make the goldcard) which is a lot more time consuming then just dropping two dollars on a day pass.
Yes, where there's a will there's a way, but in this case the way is the one I provided. Trust me, I've been heavily involved with this device for a while now (well in electronics time).

alright, I surrender to your superior advice. I agree I know nothing about the mt3g or GSM android phones.
all I know is that the 4 corners trick worked on my friends OEM Droid and I suggested that it may also work on the mt3g.

Funny thing is, once I was able to borrow a friend's SIM that has a data plan associated to it, and login to Google on the phone, the wi-fi was then available.
Now that the lockout is over and football is just a few weeks away; how difficult would it be to get the NFL app working on the A500?
I downloaded the apk from a thread on xda, but I couldn't get it to work...
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Don't think this will be an option. It's a Verizon only app and it verifies the phone is on their network before running. I tried to install it from my phone and it wouldn't work. Couldn't verify network.
The only Verizion exclusive app I can get to work on the tablet is the Indy Car app.

Thanks for the response! I had it working on my at&t samsung captivate last year. Although, it was wifi only (which I don't mind). There was a way to bypass the network check, but I can't remember how I did it...

I think this question started out as an A500 port idea then ended up saying it will work on this handset but not that - If you are trying to get the pp to work on your phone - use Market Enabler from the market to spoof your phone on Verizon - works for me here in Australia.
as for the A500 - we have to wait for someone to work out how to set locations another way?
Gotta find a way to fake a phone number for the tablet for the market enabler app to work, but it looks like it'd work if we could fake a phone number
Unless someone has a better idea

It's more than just a phone number. Verizon verifies you are a customer on their cellular network. With no way for the Iconia to connect to a cell network, no way for app to verify you are a Verizon customer. While you can use the NFL app with WIFI, it still verifies you are on the cell network.

I have the apk installed, but when I open it, it just says loading and then closes out... I tried the marketenabler.apk and changed it to Verizon and still no go :\
I hope we can get this working. It would be so badass

OK, I found a new apk and got it to load up. I accepted the license agreement and then it directed me do download a update in the market... this is when I didn't see a update button in the market.
Let me know if anyone wants the apk and I will post it from my comp later.

Heres the latest apk: http://www.MegaShare.com/3506031 Have it installed on my Evo 3D but of course i get the usual only for verizon users message. Hopefully someone can get this to work this season. Im more than willing to donate to whoever does.
I hate to bust everyone's bubble but Verizon has made streaming video a premium service this year that requires a monthly subscription to vcast video as well.
No streaming, but here's the official NFL application for tablets.

I lost my phone. I tried installing Plan B but haven't gotten a response just yet. Does anyone know if WaveSecure will install remotely? Also, I noticed a feature in the GPS settings that says locate phone when lost or something to that effect. I have ICS beta 7.0 installed fyi. How would I go about using the service?

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

The only one I know of is orange/Barclaycard which only works on s3 & s4.
Visa have said they're releasing one this month. But they said that a while ago and new recent news about it.

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.
