I know that *#*#4636#*#* works for some general info on the phone, but what I would really like to do is recalibrate my touch screen. Anyway I can do that? Also, I think it would be a good idea to start gathering the list of the codes for the Evo Shift 4G. Anyone know of any other working codes?

##3282# to reset your data profile. Useful if your seeing very slow data speeds. My internet was crawling at a 150kb/s when I got the phone and now runs over 1mb/s after I did the reset.
Pick edit mode and type in your msl. Then pick data profile, push menu and hit restore.

Forgive me if this is different than what you're looking for but can't you recalibrate the screen under Menu>Language and Keyboard>Touch Input>Text Input>Calibration Tool?
#3: I didn't *think* that was what I was looking for, earlier today, but after trying it anyway, it really seems to have fine tuned the whole screen! I stumbled on to it this morning and tried it, I'm sure others will want to find a fix, someday. Thanks for posting!
#2: how does one obtain their MSL? On Windows Mobile I had a handy MSL Grabber. Is there a good one in the market?

I used MSL Reader from the market. You need root so I used z4root to get access.
Bbong73, thanks for the tips!

Call Sprint and tell them you want it. Sometimes they'll ask why, but I have never been denied. I always tell them the truth. I like to reset and adjust things all the time. It has never failed.
Called Sprint today and asked. They said " No problem sir hold on....here is your MSL"
Thanks for the tip. Glad to know it's that easy!

Could this be a problem for apps not downloading from the market always saying unsuccessful. I don't have the shift but a friend of mine does and she cannot download anything.

In Supreme Sense and MikShifted-G its in menu*settings*display to calibrate the screen and to calibrate the keyboard its in menu*settings*language and keyboard*touch input*calibration tools....maybe if your just stock rooted you could de odexed the settings.apk from a rom that has this setting and push it to system/app then reboot and it could work

getting an error when trying to open Sprint TV :"you must be a sprint customer to use this application."
I am running Misfit's 2.3 ROM, which is the leaked 2.3 Sense ROM. Sprtin TV worked after flash (been flashed for about a week.) Now all of a sudden not working.
Ideas?
Are you using Verizon prl by any chance? And you doing it in 3G right? Not wifi?

Have you changed your sprint notification to something else. I changed mine using the qpst method. It would not allow me to activate any sprint apps. Switched it back and every thing works fine.

not unless Misfit included it with his rom, which seems wrong only because it is built off the leaked HTM rom. How do I know??

you lost me - where do I find these settings? I flashed the ROM, pulled the Sprint TV app from a Ti backup and it worked, then it stopped working.
Just loaded the new CM7 nightly 63 with 2.3.5 and Netarchy's 1.3.9 cfs and my native wireless hot spot which was apparently blocked with 2.3.5 update still works.
My guess is that Netarchy didn't merge the function which blocked it in the kernel so if you are on a stock 2.3.5 rom try the kernel to see if you get it back.
why not just use wifi tether and be done with it?
Because wireless tether ( I assume that's what you mean) doesn't create a true wifi hot spot. Try connecting another android device or tablet and you'll find out. Not everything works with wireless tether.

Pretty sure. Settings shows Android Version 2.3.5, Build GRJ90 and Baseband D720SPRKE5
Here's the scenario:
Turn on phone, go to wireless settings, turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot.
Turn on wifi-only tablet. Find my wifi hotspot. Connect.
It works exactly the same now as it did before.
It may (or may not - I don't know) be worth pointing out that there is not and may never be 4G in my area and that most of the time 3G isn't functional, so this isn't a very fast connection.

I have the AT&T Nexsus S and the native tether is not working right out of the box. I know this is for Sprint you are talking about, and since I just got phone Saturday I am trying to learn all this mods and stuff, so would I able to install the CM7 nightly 63 and would I have to get the 2.3.5 or could I just leave the 2.3.4 that is installed on my Nexsus S?
Also will have to look up what NEtarchy's 1.3.9 cfs is LOL
I just got my new Nexus S 4G (Sprint) last night from eBay and it came with 2.3.4 preloaded. I just verified with a coworker who has already upgraded hers to 2.3.5 (also Sprint) and she says that the wifi hotspot feature still works for her just fine. I was going to hold off on doing the update because of this, but now I think I can safely upgrade. Yay!
I am on Bugless Pete's Stock + root and Netarchy 1.3.7 cfs... No workie. I will try 1.3.9 shortly.

Loaded netarchy 1.3.9 cfs for stock roms, cleared cache, dalvik-cache, and fix perms.. Tethering still doesn't work.
How I checked:
Start tethering, 3g data disappears within 10 seconds. Disable tethering, 3g data comes back within 10 seconds.

Since it is a feature code added to the account, and the process for enabling WiFi hotspot includes humans, I highly doubt he is telling you a lie. I also doubt that he is the only person in the world that has working WiFi hotspot on 2.3.5.
Edit for clarification:
Humans make mistakes. The appropriate feature code could have been accidentally added to his account by mistake, or tether blocking might not be working correctly in this person's area.

Mine works!
Had a stock 2.3.4 rooted, downloaded the update from google. booted into clockwork recovery and applied the .zip. When it finished it showed unlocked but had stock recovery. Used the one click root and reinstalled clockwork.
My native wireless tether allows my XooM tablet to connect. I don't subscribe to that service either...
If you're on netarchys I believe he does something to enable native tether. Oh and btw, after turning it on, it will disable 3g but wait few minutes and it will come back in white icons. Just make sure you give it some time.

I have a stock Android Nexus S 4g with 2.3.5 and wireless hotspot is working.
It came from Best Buy yesterday with 2.3.4 and I did an OTA prior to rooting it.
The only modification made to the phone has been 1clickroot.
You guys who are having issues with the native hotspot not working after 2.3.5, should look into buglesspete's flashable fix for it. It's in the 4g dev forums and even downloadable through CWM. Not sure if it's just for his rom or not.

Not sure what you are asking. Is it about the OTA to Gingerbread or hands-free activation? I have done hands-free activation on a few ROMs with no issues. No rooted ROM will let you get the OTA updates.
I infer that the OP is talking about hands-free activation. If that's the case, I have flashed a bunch of roms from 2.1 through 2.3 and hands-free always worked.
Can you elaborate?
He may have odined with efs clear or whatever checked off. I don't remember exactly what it was but phones weren't reactivating without calling sprint.

When I fist got my epic and was switching phones I contacted the sprint chat support and they had me enter a dialer code and enter my # in a couple fields. The phone rebooted and was active. Not sure if that helps, I was on stock rom and even it didn't auto activate.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
sorry, to be clear, i am having a hard time with the handsfree activation after flashing a rom to this device.
many folks seem to request the exact opposite built into roms for this phone. meaning upon install and reboot, the rom will not run and complete handsfree activation.
no roms seems to have in the description that handsfree activation is supported.
does that make a little more since? if not let me know and i can give more details
thanks all

All roms have hands free supported that's why you don't see it mentioned. You only activate once brand new out of the box not everytime you flash a rom. Unless you mean the google activation then just open then market and sign in then your google acct is then activated

I agree, you only have to activate once ever, until you get a new phone. This is a non issue as a result.

Good night everybody. Love you all.
I was referring to a while back noobnl started a thread about checking off extra things in odin in relation to clearing nvram or something back when we were trying everything under the sun to fix the gps. I don't remember exactly but when you did it your phone went back too literally out of the box condition deactivated and all.

Never saw anyone requesting on the Epic threads that their phone not activate when switching ROMs. Maybe you saw that on a different phone. The only thing requested here was to stop the OTA update notification.
How did the phone become deactivated
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
the phone was completely wiped, it was a gimme from a friend, i wiped it totally and started fresh. rooted, flashed rom, etc, (froyo) and now after rest it of course starts handsfree act but it crashes before activation finishes.
depending on rom, sometimes the MIN/MDN updates before crash which allows voice/txt only. thats about it. maybe its not the rom's, but i assumed since some will at least go that far. i can not see how it would be anything else because the phone started out as if it came from manu. fresh.
thanks for input everyone, much appreciated
cheers,

How about using stock rom to activate before flashing a custom? You can nandroid your current setup and restore to it after you activate.

Well the first thing you should do is upgrade to MikShifted G v1.76. It's just a patch, so you won't lose any of your info. You can find the upgrade HERE. After you do that the MOD you want is on THIS THREAD. On that thread was also a link on how to change the PRL.

Do you mean ##775# ? When you say Force Roam didn't work, what exactly do you mean? Just trying to get a better grasp of what you mean.
##72786# and ##3282#, i typed it and the display showing what i typed went blank. The only way to get the touch pad to respond again was to hit the home button. And my phone did use the mod and i forced it to roaming but it still gave me a generic network error.

Not sure what your trying to do with ##72786# , as far as I know that's not a real code. ##3282# should bring up the ESPT menu, View or EDIT. Choose EDIT then enter your MSL. ##775# , is also valid. Just checked both on MikSHifted G, both codes work. Also just tried the Force Roam mod, all good. If you already updated your PRL / Profile. Try booting into recovery Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, and then reboot.

Both sms and mms are heavily dependant on mobile data network. If you are connected to wifi and you are in a area with poor mobile data network or you don't have a mobile data plan then a lot of times you will not be able to send/receive texts or mms. If you have a mobile data plan try turning off your wifi before sending or to check for received messages.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Ok I Reflashed the MikG 1.76 and its starting to work again. No Generic Network Failure anymore. Sent mms on WiFi within seconds. No problem at all. Maybe it is the PRL. Try Reflashing the ROM completely if PRL doesn't work.
Its you bro. Not the network. "The key to self recovery is admitting you have a problem".
