I bought a couple of Virgin Mobile no contract Kyocera Events for $20 each recently from Radioshack. My hope was to have them be media player/streamers and give them to my nephews for youtube etc. That way they don't have to borrow daddy's S3 all the time killing his battery.
Anyone know what to block to prevent the phone from trying to Activate on boot? I know you can use Airplane mode to help block it, but you still get a prompt complaining. I'm afraid my nephews are to young (8 and 11) to grasp the need to avoid saying yes all the time.
I figure root is required as a first step and I think I can manage that.
