I have a few buddies who have the One Plus One and claim to have unlimited native tether without tripping any kind of notice to their mobile provider.
Will the Moto X Pure Edition have the ability to do this? Or will it have to be rooted for this to happen? I currently use the Wifi Tether Router app on a Rooted S6 Edge and it works great.
If you're buying a SIM free device, why would Moto tell anyone what you're up to?
Ahhh I always thought that Mobile providers could tell?

If they look close enough they can tell. Some have basic flags set up to alert them but they are easy to bypass.

I was reading through the 2014 Moto X threads where people were discussing how to edit their build.prop scripts so that native tethering would not be detected.
I just met up with my buddy today who has a One Plus One and he showed me his native tethering app and it worked great...

CDMA doesn't even exist outside of the US, so I never give it any thought whatsoever. I said SIM free because that's how the device is being sold, without contract.

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

I have a verizon prl flashed. It allows my nexus to roam on the verizon network at all times. It increased my dl speeds from 300k to 2mb per second.
You still need sprint service though.

Nope..it's highly possible ..check YouTube and eBay. People even got step by step and so on. So I know it's possible.
I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.
I poked around the forums trying to find a general answer why this wasn't possible but didn't find any real concrete answer. Can anyone explain why it's not possible or point me to a post that does?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Legal? Not so much.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

I did a search and found nothing on the GT Note using simple Mobile.
Has anyone tried this as yet, and can you tell us what the speeds are like so far.
And what package did you go with.
Looks like they use T-Mobile's network, which means nothing over EDGE speeds.
I'm running one of the AT&T MVNOs on a trial basis and so far I have not been disappointed. I am loathe to give up my T-Mobile plan but unless there's a breakthrough in getting 1700/2100 AWS working on this thing I might have to make the move permanently.

What about this? As long as you aren't using any device which has ever been AT&T branded in any way shape or form (like an unlocked Note), this should work just fine!
I don't want the phone to be recognized by them as something they carry to avoid data plan. Not completely familiar with this phone (like the S2/i9100 etc.)
Thanks,
It will be. Its not an international phone that is only sold in other countries and shipped here. Its designed to work with all GSM US carriers.

Actually, my dad and I have been using the n4 with no data plan. Once I activated the phone I had my data blocked. Some people were saying that they got changed from the $15 unlimited dumb phone to the smartphone plan. However, I still had my data blocked since day one. You could even ask for it to be blocked before you can't your n4. You can block your data with no problem.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Be sure to hit thanks if I helped!
The N4 has already been flagged by AT&T as a smartphone and multiple people have posted. Figuring out whether a phone's dumb or smart is very easy for AT&T (or any other carrier) as the first eight characters of the IMEI identify the make and model (Type Allocation Code) of the phone.

Annoyed. Got the dreaded ATT text that I wasn't using the correct data plan for the nexus 4. Was using it on $10 non smart data plan.
AT&T Free Msg: Did you know a data plan is required for your Smartphone? We have added an appropriate data plan. Learn more at www.att.com/dataplans.
Online management shows phone as being unrecognized but they apparently know the phone is a smartphone.
Even the email I got from ATT says
"For whatever reason, our records indicate your Smartphone does not have an eligible data plan. We have added an appropriate Smartphone data plan for your device"
So unlike the Galaxy nexus, ATT does force the $30 data plan. I guess the LG Optimus G is so similar to the Nexus 4 ATT can see it as a smartphone.
It's weird cause the international Galaxy S3 was never recognized on my account when I had it on the $10 data plan.

Just check the sim card. A USIM means the Sim card does the LTE authentication while the device does the CDMA authentication. A CSIM means that both LTE and CDMA Authentication comes from the sim card and you can hot swap devices by using the sim card just like the Iphone 5s/5c which uses CSIM.

USIM .. like most current Sprint devices. So most of the provisioning is still done in the EFS.. unlike the 5s which relies entirely on the sim card.

Sounds like maybe LTE 2600 (B41) hand off issues between the different LTE bands that is causing the delay. What does this phone being an exclusive triband have to do with it? Obviously the demo units are already available so the phone must be done. I doubt it is due to production issues since LG shouldn't need to make as many phones at launch like Verizon or ATT do. Doesn't sound like it makes any sense to me. Oct 25th would have already been pushing it.

That seems to be my guess that Sprint is waiting on the LTE 2600 network to be built out a bit more before launch. But it also could be that Sprint can be having LTE 2600 TD-LTE to LTE 1900 FDD LTE hand off issues that is causing the delay.
