I want to fix my 3G issues without going through verizon so I need someone with a spare verizon phone to activate my line on their phone and then I switch right back. Hit me up on Google talk. I would be very grateful

PM me with some details on how to do this
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
If you still need a device PM me. I have a blackberry storm I no longer use.
I'm really curious as to why you feel you need someone else's phone to do this. 10 minutes with customer service would have fixed this for you already.
Would I be able to do this if I am not the account holder? I have the password to activate other phones but the account isn't in my name nor do I have any other billing info. That's why I never called. :/
If you have the relevant information to allow you to ask for support, they should help you.
If you don't, talk to the person who does and have them call for you. There's no reason you should be denied service for such silly reasons.

Thanks, I'll just do it that way.

If you want I believe you can go to your sprint account online and blacklist the number.
Is that black listing free?

Its free you can do online in your account setting permissions or you can call sprint to block it

Or install Mr. Number Call Block on your phone. I use it to send incoming 800/888/866/865 numbers and their built-in "suspected spam" list straight to voicemail. You can, of course, add your own numbers to block or exclude, and you can choose whether to send blocked calls straight to voicemail or simply block.

You can also add the number as a contact and then force the calls to go straight to VM. Click on the contact>edit>Send calls directly to voicemail.
My HTC EVO 3D was stolen at school today. Yes, I'm pissed. And no, it didn't have insurance on it, so I couldn't get a replacement. In case it ever happened, I re-activated my Hero CDMA. I need to report its ESN as bad. Anyone know how to do that?
I believe you call Sprint and tell them. They'll then see your device and lock it up so it can't be activated on another number.
Correct me if I'm wrong though lol.

Done. It's ESN is blacklisted.
Couldn't you just go to the android market, download an app to tell you where it is... ?
Yup there are definitely a couple of apps that can help you locate it...i think google offers something similar to this....i know WP7 used find my phone through windows live.

Umm you could then track it down/ call the police on them
The phone doesn't have location services built in? Windows phone does... just figured Androids would also. On my Titan, i can go online and it will que the phone and zoom into it's location within a few blocks. If it's near a window, or in a car it will zoom in enough that i can tell what side of the house it's on.
There's an app called "Plan B" that you can remotely download and it'll send you a email with gps locations, lock the phone, etc. Great app for getting after you've had a phone lost or stolen.

I totally agree. This way can help you.
No luck with the Plan B app yesterday. I did happen to find out the last known location on Google Latitude on PC, and it happens to be near the school. Problem is, I don't know if the location is accurate as the phone's GPS is jumpy, so it could be any of the houses surrounding the location.
I don't know if the person, who has my EVO 3D, turned it off now (probably did unless he found a USB cable for it). Don't even know if it's still at that location. My only choice is to get someone over 18 to file a police report.
I am in serious trouble now.
Too late for him now though

Next time, Android Lost... it's has tracking, remote wipe, alarm, remote lock, etc. It's free unlike most of the other similar apps. I never really thought that I needed an app like this but there really isn't any reason to not have it if it's free, and now I worry a bit less about losing my OG Evo.
(I am in no way affiliated with the developer of "Android Lost" , its kinda hard to recommend an app without sounding like a spammer )

This might be a little off-topic (apologies), but I plan on switching from sprint to TMO prepaid with the nexus 4. I don't care about my sprint #, but I have a google voice number I'd like to use. Just wanted to check and see if this is possible. tia
Of course its possible! Google voice app for android. Port you real number to Google for $20 unless you really don't care.

Before porting your number and getting in contract with keep in mind that google voice is currently free till end of 2012. Google always push it a year ahead but dont promise that it will remain free for ever.
Secondly and importantly; no emergency calling ie no 911

You mean the gmail calling or groove IP on your phone is free until end of 2012, right? I heard nothing about the rest of the GV service not being free any more. IE texts and phone/voicemail forwarding.

Have you tried plan b from the play store. If it still has data connection, or when it does get it (such as wifi), that is probably your best bet.

Also @op I'd blocking by Google, or carrier are your only options. I think Google could probably wipe the phone ota for you if they wanted to, worth a shot

Skip wasting time with Google, they will do nothing, it has nothing to do with them. Call your carrier, they will suspend your account, which isn't a whole lot, and will most likely only block IMEI number with a police report, at least that's T-Mobile policy.

If nothing else they'd be able to see what you can see on your vzw account info. Such as; sms numbers to and from, calls to and from, GPS pings if they had requested them which is likely if they have confiscated his phone. Literally vzw will give everything they have. These big companies always cooperate. The reality is you should never text, much less talk about sensitive information on your smartphone. While it may be secure from the average user it is not secure from the man.
To add; a friend lost his phone and vzw was able to restore to his contacts, literally ever number called and received, for the past 5+ years.

One time I lost my phone and I had important info in a text message. I called VZW to ask if they could retrieve the contents of my texts for me. They said they could only do that with a court order. So, it is possible for them to retrieve SMS contents.
