Sprint AWE Software Enhancement

Since u removed system apps ur only options are my fix or to flash back to stock and take all updates Then remove the bloat apps

Thanks brittnearl but I choose a 3rd option, "wait and see". It's been 5 nag free days so far.

Update: 2 weeks nag free. Think I'm cured.
 
Trying to sideload/push my build.prop back using adb and keep getting
error: closed

the device shows up as this under adb devices:
List of devices attached
433f9d6f host

am I screwed :-/

Update:
Cleared Data/Cache, same black screen, but now see device as 'device and not host'.
But now am getting:

failed to copy 'c:/build.prop' to 'system/build.prop': Read-only file system

Further update:
I've tried all sorts of combinations "shell then su then mounting and changing the permissions"it always then drops the device and says there is none. I'm going insane and freaking out, need my phone operational for work :-/ Any help is appreciated!!!

Do you have update.zip of the stock Rom as you can flash that through the stock recovery my phone did the same thing the first time i edited the build.prop
 
I flashed the patch I will let you know if it goes away for good. Thanks for putting it up. I have rooted stock with recovery.
 
Hmmm... Since avoiding this enhancement I've noticed that when checking my VM account online it doesn't show anything for the amount of data used. Anyone else have that situation?

Yes, it's a glitch on their website. Many customers are experiencing it. One person was apparently told that a fix is expected 9/14. Unfortunately they appear to still be able to track data usage and implement a throttle.

Throttling is done server side which means is not avoidable as they monitor ur meid... As far as tracking ur data usage its built into the device under settings

I took the "software enhancement" and other than on the built in settings on the device, I no longer can see how much data Virgin/Sprint thinks I am using.

Yup, just got my throttle warning with a week to go until the new month.
 
There is a new "enhancement" being pushed by Virgin Mobile. Does anyone know if using build.prop from the new OTA file will kill the nag?

I don't want to move to a new ROM if I don't have to--though, if a new ROM will let me use tethering without the hassle of the tether app, it might be worth it.

No, will need a new ota fix for the new updates.
