I am one of the lucky one to have purchased a HTC EVO LTE phone (Reliance activated) from eBay and extremely happy with it. The EVDO plan is active and working fine.
I need help in changing my Phone Identity settings, because of which, and I am assuming, I am facing certain issues such as:
1) unable to update the Firmware, Profile or PRL, though managed to update my HTC software and got the latest Sense 4.1 (2.13.651.1 710RD),
2) randomly get a message flashing when on a call saying I have a Voicemail on the above Phone Number 9731000000 pending in my inbox. But can not access my voicemail.
3) The default number while registering any app such as Tango is 9731000000.
Settings as shown:
Current username: net (incorrect)
Phone number: 9371000000 (incorrect)
a) I want to change these settings and add my name and number. I am hoping the rest of the settings such as DSN, MEID, UICC ID, IMSI(UICC) & IMSI are correct and not to mess with.
b ) I guess since it is a Sprint phone, I may not get certain services or can 'activate the device', but I am sure I can make those settings changes for impending Jellybean update.
c) Will there be any implications such as 'brick'ing the phone, deactivation from Reliance, loss of EVDO data plan etc.?
Another small problem I encountered (now universal) was when I updated my HTC Sense software to 4.1, the customised ringtones stopped functioning. Hope HTC comes up with a bug fix for this soon.
Kindly help. I am not sure if I should post this elsewhere or start a new thread, so pardon me.
