I Rooted for a while, then I used Odin to go back to stock dI18. I just recently updated to EB13 using the basic samsung epic recovery method. My camera and screen rotation are broken. Since I am no longer rooted I cant fix it. Will sprint be able to see I was rooted? I want to return the phone and just get a replacement thru insurance. Especially because text messaging hasnt been good. Guess my modem fried. please help thx
No they can't tell you've been rooted.and no they won't exchange phones. They will just reinstall old software. They've been told not to exchange phones over this issue. If you knew someone who works there you might be able to get it done, but probably not.

You're Welcome.
They'll flash DI18 and it'll be back to normal.

I flashed dI18 and it wasnt back to normal as well.
There are fixes for both of those that don't require root. Screen rotation can be fixed doing the horizontal calibration under display settings. The other requires flashing a file to your phone with odin in a rather simple process found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970452
Edit:
By the way, I did have screen rotational problems even after calibrating but I reflashed EB13 with the Samsung tool after wiping data and cache several times then calibrated it again and it fixed whatever the problem was. Also seemed to fix my TWS problem that was still there after the first install.
They will know if you have a custom rom installed. I had a hero for awhile and ended up having problems. Didn't get a call or text for over a week. I called sprint tech support and they told me my current software was an nfx rom and blamed it on that

Could be the way you flashed it. There are problems some people run into when they flash using usb ports that aren't directly connected to the mother board. Reflash and try to use a port connected to the motherboard.

Are you on stock 4.1.83, or are you rooted?
If rooted, do you have Titanium Backup installed, or anything like Bloat Freezer?
Have you tried just rebooting?
More info please.....................and go slap your friend!..............HARD!
Hello , and yes im on stock 4.1.8.3 and I dont have Titanium Backup ya c its hard for me cause I dont have a credit card to buy any apps and the free ones just dont cut the mustard I was told. Do you have any suggestions ?

I have the exact same problem, i tried flashing the stock sbf, and also a factory reset but still have the same problem. I had to contact AT&T and i'm getting a replacement phone soon.

Apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Bloat Freezer, etc. all require root access, so if you are not rooted, that's a moot point. Are you on AT&T? If so, you could try taking it to an AT&T store, or call customer support. Should have no issues as you haven't messed with your phone from stock.
I was having the same BT issue where it wouldn't turn on. I went through all sorts of methods to fix it and finally got it working ... been working perfect ever since. Off the top of my head, I can't recall what it was that I did, but I'll think on it and try to repost my solution. If I'm not mistaken, it was a 3rd party app that was causing the issue, but I'm not 100% on that.
Do you happen to have a banking app installed? I know that when .83 came out, the banking apps quit working and I did a work-around to fix it. I believe that was the issue. I uninstalled my fix and the banking apps. I've since reinstalled them and used Motorola's certificate installer. BT still works well.
No I dont any banking apps on the phone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Banking apps shouldn't have affected BT. Didn't on my phone. The banking app issue was a blank screen after login.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
I had a issue where I couldn't turn my wifi back on (1.8.3)
When you toggled it on, it would show scanning, then turn back off. I had to flash sbf 1.2.6 to fix it, then OTA update again
Kool thanks much appreciated

No, the banking apps weren't the issue...it was more likely the mucking around that I did with the certificates that created any issue. Perhaps it was just coincidental as it happened at the same time and I resolved it after removing the certificates and banking app. In any case....mine now works flawlessly, albeit I'm not completely sure what I did to resolve it.

there is 100 posts about people not wanting the automatic activation to start on their epic after flashinf a new ROM. i want the opposite, i can not for the life of me find a ROM that WILL work with automatic activation with sprint after flashing.
can anyone please point me towards a ROM that fits the bill?
thanks in advance

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.

Mine reactivated fine. 3 days later it wierdly disconnected and the call went to Sprint and they reactivated it. Had nothing to do with the ROM.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I agree, you only have to activate once ever, until you get a new phone. This is a non issue as a result.

Just flipped it on my ass. Like a boss.
Sorry. Drank a Steel Reserve, a couple "C-"s and smoked a blunt during my horrible loss in softball tonight. Thought that was funny.
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.

I am having issues getting Google Wallet set up on my Nexus 10. I just received it today, and it sits on the "Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes" screen for what seems like forever, then I get a message "Device Not Ready-Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the phone has network access and try rebooting it if the problem persists", well the network is 100% A OK, and the device is fully initialized, so I'm not sure what the issue is, and I have rebooted it a few times and even cleared data and cache on the Wallet program, to no avail. Is anybody else having this issue?
If your under a custom rom, that could be the reason why its not working. I have Google wallet on my rooted stock SG3 and it says unsupported device but it still works.

It's the stock ROM, just rooted, unlocked bootloader and recovery.
It still won't set up as of this morning, it's not a hardware problem because the NFC works just fine, I guess I'll have to talk to Google.
Well, I fixed it! I went into Titanium and uninstalled it, installed the version in the Play Store, and then opened it up and WHAM, it worked! Maybe the one on the device was corrupt, or uninstalling then re installing cleared out some errors, what do you guys think?
Edit-I don't know that I'll use it on my Nexus 10, as I have it installed and working on my SGS3 (AT&T), but it's nice to have the option, and it was bugging me not being able to get it working lol
Glad you figured it out! Sometimes its as simple as uninstalling then reinstalling go figure.

Coolness factor
In any case, my wallet seems to be stuck also on "Setting up Wallet". I've tried CM10.1, some other custom ROM, and stock, and tried a few different wallet apps on CM10.1, to no avail so far.
Edit: My NFC still appears to work; I can wave my credit card near the NFC sensor on the N10, and it'll make a sound.
Try uninstalling wallet with titanium backup and reinstall from the play store. Worked for me today on my rooted sprint galaxy nexus.

Tried your suggestion and it let me sign in and setup a PIN. However, it errors out when trying to add cards. It also says that I'm using an unsupported device (Nexus 4).

I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything short of editing the build prop as some have done in the past with other devices (I have a nexus 4), and probably would even do that if some other person with an N4 did it and had success. Tried multiple ROMs and multiple versions of Wallet with no luck. I either get the "Setting up wait 5 minutes, device not initalized" issue or the "request failed" at the add card error. Put in for a replacement yesterday, so hopefully the new one doesn't have the issue. If so, then we know that there are just some lemon N4's out there.
first, I got this wallet apk from the dev paulobrien here at xda. I don't have the link to his site at the moment. now, onto the fun stuff. to begin with, uninstall any previous wallet app. next, using root explorer drop this apk into the /system/app directory and change the permissions to match the other apps. now, reboot and enjoy the odd looks of cashiers when you pay with your awesome tablet!
I found the link for anyone who is wary.

This thread already started a million times and none of them fixed my problem.
So the thing is today my wifi got from blue to gray. Now none of the google services are working..only dolphin browser.
I tried to clear data from play services and google play.
I tried to connect to a different wifi. Same problem
I tried rebooting
I tried turning wifi on and off.
I rooted the device a week ago. Today I installed apex launcher, which I also removed but no help.
Stock rom, only rooted and unlocked.
What to do?
I don't want to factory restore.

Well, I don't play around with my N7 a lot, since the whole family uses it...my daughter would freak if Netflix wasn't working.....so I put something on it, and if its very stable....I leave it alone quite awhile.
So, I'm on XenonHD 4.2.2. Had zero issues with it. I personally don't use 4.3, cause flash is pretty much a mess, for me anyway....no matter what browser I use. So 4.3 is out for me.

Make sure the SSID you are trying to connect to is on 2.4ghz only. No 5ghz radio in the 2012 Nexus, and that can confuse school routers. Try a coffee shop with free WiFi.
