I recently got this phone on cragslist, I rooted it and all but it always ask me to actavate service and i the only way I can stop it from asking me that is if I put the phone in airplane mode and reboot but the only problem with that is that is that I cant use home/search/menu buttons. XP it there anyway I can make it from stop doing that? I knew this phone has bad esn I just want to flash to boost. Thank you for your time.
The easiest way would be to flash 2.2 so you can turn mobile data off. But, that won't fix thevinderlying problem of the buttons goofing up. There is a button remapping tool. If you do a little research, and there is a post with instructions. That might help

You can try this, but I think you have to do it after every reboot.

Honestly, I'm curious as to why it's deactivating the softkey. I wouldn't think that its supposed to do that.

I dont know what I did but I made it work again thanks everyone. I just need to know if I can flash this to boost myself because i dont wanna pay some random guy to do it for me.
I'm sure you can, somehow. I've seen posts where people have done it before (not with our phone) I would suggest finding threads about it, and asking how on there.

Hi there!
I'm having a really bad problem at the moment on my s4 (i9505). Recently I upgraded from stock (MDE) to pre-rooted (MF8). Since then, my WiFi has stopped working, and it seems to be the only thing that has gone wrong. When I toggle WiFi on, it immediately toggles off (both in the quick settings, and through the settings panel). When I mean immediately, I mean within 1/10 of a second.
I flashed another ROM over it (OMEGA V7) and nothing changed.
I feel as though I've missed something vital, and would rather work on a fix for it rather than flash stock through Odin and start from scratch. Any help is very much appreciated.
Check settings in WiFi. There is an option for using cell or WiFi based on which one is faster, disable it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I already had that off (selected off by default).
Also check if your wifi timer is on.

No WiFi timer is also off.
This is very strange, I've searched google for hours and absolutely nothing like the issue I'm having.
Flash correct kernel

Ive had this issue before when my kernel and modem are mismatched but also when a weird setting is enabled... and I cant remember what it is.
Try a factory reset but do not restore your phone settings from google... only your contacts

So wifi will not turn on no mattrr what ?
And your not in airplane mode ?
This is beyond me then... I hope your hardware wasnt messed up.
Does your wifi still have a mac address ?

Not in Airplane mode.
I still have a mac adress.
No idea what's wrong. I literally JUST flashed a ROM. I've been doing this for almost 3 years and never have I seen an issue like this.
Might take the phone back.

I can't really say why this happens but a lot of times with this phone it seems that the MAC address to the wifi is somehow lost and by removing the /data/.cid.info file you can somehow reset something that makes things work again. I assume it's somehow tight to different wifi network chip drivers in different kernels but I'm not sure. On some ROM's I have tried I have to do this on every boot...

I have stupidly forgotten the PIN on my Nexus 4. I would really rather not reset the phone and lose data. Are there any ways to bypass the lockscreen or to backup the data?
Thanks,
Liam
I sincerely hope not.
you can keep trying to unlock and when it locks you need to unlock the phone with you google account password you used to activate the phone. you will still need you sim pin to be able to use your sim card but your provider can unlock that one for you

The 'forgot pattern' button only appears with pattern unlock. There is no 'forgot PIN' button in Android.
Keep entering wrong pattern. After many tries it will block you and you will be able to use reset password feature.

Are you sure this is true? Or is that just a guess?
I've got up to 65 tries and there is still no button.

Well. Then you have no choice but to reset. I'm sorry!
This wouldn't have been the situation if you would've been rooted.

Also when I ran ice was first time I got video options on call. Grayed out tho. I'm sure I missed something but can't find it.

Remove VOLTE/Advanced calling from your account. Flash the RUU. Factory reset using the stock recovery. Activate advanced calling from the phone itself (not the online verizon portal). Reboot phone after 5 minutes. Test.

So, go to website. Remove advanced calling and anything volte related. Then do phone and let phone reactivate everything? Just want to be clear. I respect your advice and have used your stuff on my phone for awhile.

No luck. Turned off everything. Wiped phone. Formated data. Used your ruu.exe to flash. Still 1x on calls and no advanced calling. Activated using phone only once rebooted. Any ideas?

With stock software lost the video option on all. Was always grayed out anyway. And when rebooted the option to activate was grayed out. Did not get the verizon page to activate like on ice rom.

Did it all again. This time worked better. Got new activation pages never had before. About activating after 5 minutes. Did that. Says added new features. But 1x still on calls and no video options on calls.

So after using dottat ruu.exe for . 22 and seems like after it settled I have volte working again along with wifi calling. Never seen a toast before that I was on wifi calling. Also HD calling working. No notifications for HD buy can hear the difference when I call people who have edge 7 and iPhone 6. Still running complete stock setup and hoping will stay when I flash Venom. Doing a backup for sure first. Still no video calling.

Good deal.. I'm strongly believing that the VZW/HTC volte issues have finally been put to rest. This was a problem on the m9 as well and is no longer.

I've tried this 5 times with a couple different ruu's with no luck. I first noticed this happening after I tried flashing leedroid nougat Rom and got no service on it so I restored my backup and got service but no data on calls, just 1x. When I go to the vpn, in the list of bearers, mine just shows ehrpd and LTE. My gf pixel shows gprs, ehrpd, hsupa, hspap, hspa, hsdpa, LTE, umts, and edge. The rest of the vpn settings are the same. I have also noticed when I go into settings, about, network that it sometimes shows "3107" in the operator section. Any other ideas?
