Newest Sprint Zone

[Ascertion]

Just got it today. Should be auto updating for most...if not, here's an APK.

cool

[Paynefanbro]

I just got the update. I went to the app and turned off auto-update, turned back on and then refreshed the app and it started downloading.

 

The app is much cleaner, smoother, and has a touch of Material Design. It also tells you data usage in gigabytes now. I love it!

[Paynefanbro]

Now if they'd only update their website. That's probably not too far down the line.

Cool! That apk works in my Nexus 5! None of the previous ones installed successfully. The device diagnostics tool is pretty cool.

 

Unfortunately it says usage data is not supported in my device.

Just go inside the Sprint Zone app and refresh it.  It will start downloading the new updates.

I get the same thing on my Nexus 5 after side loading the apk.

The APK doesn't update on certain custom ROMs so I provided apk for that reason.

Oh I see.

Hmm, it doesn't recognize my phone number and won't let me log in saying mdn is required as a parameter.

Interesting.  Did you have a working Sprint Zone apk on your Nexus before?  It may be the way Nexus authenticates with Sprint, since it's not an actual "Sprint" phone.

No, I just used your apk. Oh well.

[Destroyallcubes]

Also anyone notice a new update on the coverage maps?

[SeanK_]

I really like this update. Glad Sprint made an app that's good looking.

It works with the Nexus 5 if you manually override your device and account info. You will need root.
Open this file:

/data/data/com.sprint.zone/shared_preferences/com.sprint.zone_preferences.xml

Add the following lines with the correct values:

<string name="funnyPref1">%NAI%</string>
<string name="funnyPref2">%MEID-HEX%</string>
<string name="funnyPref3">%RESELLER-ID%</string>
<string name="funnyPref4">%MSID%</string>
<string name="funnyPref5">%PRL-VERSION%</string>
<string name="funnyPref6">%MDN%</string>
<string name="funnyPref7">%MAKE%</string>
<string name="funnyPref8">%MODEL%</string>

Mine looked similar to this when I was done (real info masked):

<string name="funnyPref1">myname00@sprintpcs.com</string>
<string name="funnyPref2">0123456789ABCD</string>
<string name="funnyPref3">Sprint</string>
<string name="funnyPref4">5045551212</string>
<string name="funnyPref5">55021</string>
<string name="funnyPref6">5045551212</string>
<string name="funnyPref7">LG</string>
<string name="funnyPref8">Nexus 5</string>

I found about these settings last year by reverse-engineering an older version of the app when it didn't work out-of-the-box on my Nexus S. They seem to exist for debugging purposes and will override the (not) detected values.

Thanks! This did the trick! Also, as far as "funnyPref1" goes, each person will have to figure out their NAI, mine ended in 02 instead of 00. I used the Nexus 5 Field Test app, then Settings(view) --> Data Profile --> View.

Did the new Sprint Zone update also add a Fun & Games app? 

[derrph]

I hope the iPhone gets this update soon

It certainly appears so on my phone.  

[Marv1]

Not working on my flagship (non spark) S4. Got a box that popped showing "Describe Error" and said "There was a problem parsing the package"

[Marv1]

Nevermind. I did what Bucdenny mentioned above by refreshing. The app looks way better! 

[jf15219]

Anyone reverse interested in reverse engineering how it gets the network information? The version baked in to M8 update was able to tell you what tower specifically was having issues.

[nexuss4g]

Yup, the new update installed at 3:45 am this morning and gave me the Extra "Fun & Games" app on my Moto X. Tried opening the app but it does not work giving me an error to try later. Tried opening the Sprint Zone and same error message.

 

Uninstalled update and the "Fun & Games" went away. 

 

Disabled Sprint Zone, I really dislike bloatware.

[pollixx]

Tried to install on my LG G3 but said file corrupted. I am on a custom ROM.

Yeah, it won't load on my M7, either. I get a "Sprint Zone update has been cancelled" message. Not sure if that's referring to the process on my phone or the whole she-bang.
