[Q] How to disable Hands Free Activation?

Hands free activation is timing out and not working. I programmed my # and msid manually, so there's no need for this **** to keep popping up and running in the background.. is there something specific I need to do to kill this?
Well, ****, it worked when I turned on Wi-Fi!

let the activation go through it should ask you to reboot or just stop
you can always root and remove it...idk what apk it uses
what about flashing your phone with stock?

I am having this problem too. Sorry if this is thread resurrection.
It would seem that unlike the Hero, it is not omadm.apk (not present).

Ressurection of old threads is the third leading cause of male rabbit impotency.

People on XDA make absolutely no god damn sense. If a user ressurects an old thread you give him **** for it. If he posts a new thread you give him **** for posting a thread that already exists. Aka people on XDA seem to find ways to act like dicks no matter what people do.

This has been answered time and time again, nonetheless someone else is going to ask in the future, I just hope they google this and end up reading the solution on this thread.
To "disable" hands-free activation (handy for those on alternate carriers) UNINSTALL systemupdates.apk
Yes, you need to be rooted. Yes you need a root uninstall app to remove it. Yes, you can use a rooted file manager and manually remove it.

Find root uninstaller in the android market, look under the system apps, it'll be in red. It'll look like a green circular icon with a white check in the middle.
Also, I believe it's in system/app

No prob, and yeah, I had another thread stating that newer builds had it renamed. Even the original epic has the apk renamed from leaked FB15 and onwards to devicemanagement.apk as you said.

[Q] How do I change provider name on lock screen.

Can anyone give me pointers on what I should use or do to change the name of my phone provider that shows up on the basic lock screen? Sprint for instance? I know certain theme-rs do this. Emotionless Beast is an example of what I'm talking about. Any thoughts?

I posted a how to. I can't link to it from my phone

I looked through about 6 or 7 pages of your recent posts and I'm still not seeing it. If you could post a link when you have the time I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced.

It's in themes and apps I think, the search button is your friend.

Gotta love people who use the old "the search button is your friend" line instead of offering help. You would think someone who has been on this site since 2007 such as I would know how to use a search function, would you not? I mean come on man.
Does anyone have any key words they might suggest searching for since everything I have searched for is bringing up nothing. Thanks again (all who are helpful anyway)

I too would love some help as I need to flaunt the cricket

No offense taken bro but as I said earlier, you've had a crap load of posts and I dont see a filter for just those "started" by you =] Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Thanks for the help though.

Hey man thanks greatly for the link to the answer to my original question but more importantly for shedding some light on how to search for the "threads started by X user" info. Greatly appreciated. I'll utilize the hell out of that in the future. Also thank you for being so humble and so helpful.

Why an I getting the +1 in front of my #s

I recently received my replacement MT4G after a pool accident. I reflashed and reooted S=off, new radio, the whole 9 yeards just like my previous one. I reflashed the copy of my backup that I had made prior. Everything runs great except all the number I received in SMS or calls are now showing up with a +1 in front of them so they are not matching any of my contacts. I have not made any changes to the phone.
I even went into the settings and check not to use that country code but it still is showing up. Anyone have any ideas?

Checking not to use it just means YOU don't have to do it. The phone always uses them. I don't get how yo haven't noticed that all phones have like always done that

They are not all like that. My last MT4G phone did not do this. So ther has to be some setting or something that I am missing.

i think that happened on one number of mine at some point in crack flashing, i know i quick dialed the contact (send/end), but i can't remember if it fixed it or not. worth a try i guess.

Thanks. I think I fixed it. It was in the settings under the country code option. Thing is that when you select dont use it, you also have to click the dont ask me again button and it keeps it that way. I guesss that is what I didnt know.

Care to show us where the setting is?? Didn't see it under my phone setting...

[Q] Dual boot for mytouch 4g

Is there anyway to access a dual boot and if so how?

I don't believe its really been attempted but I do recall a thread from awhile back explaining that it wouldn't work, id post it but I'm on my phone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I searched awhile back about this. Came up empty. there is a few phones that can do it, one if those being the hd2 or whatever its called. Searched for like a week and read a couple forums where devs said it can't be done and they listed reasons but don't remember what they were.
If you find anything post back here.

Just found this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=en and Mytouch 4g is listed as working device...may be ill give it a try!

Boot manager can be fickle. Make sure you enable large boot.img in settings.

Boot Manager has some anti-piracy measures in place. Looks like you somehow sent up a red flag.

Does it wort the 3$?

That's a matter of opinion. I bought it and rarely use it, but that may change next week.
