(mod, please put it sticky for reference)

First of all, you have to obtain unlocked code. You can obtain from T-Mobile if you passed 3 months after you requested last unlocked code, and the phone passed 14 days (30 days in CA) trial. It is recommended to request it through online chat to ensure it's 100% correct (you can obtain your IMEI by key in *#06# from dial. Make sure you triple-check it).

After you obtained your unlocked code, go to dialer (you don't have to have foreign SIM but it is recommended to test) and input

2945#*999#

(this method works with ANY LG GSM Android phone because #*xxx# is actually your phone model. For example, Optimus T is P509 then #*509# and G2x is P999 so #*999#)

Enter unlock code correctly. Once you verified everything is correct, you can press the button below, and the phone will reboot, then the phone is unlocked.

-----edit-----

Notice: you must with stock ROM in order to make it work. If you flashed it with custom ROM, use your Clockworkmod to backup your current ROM and install stock ROM (2.2 in order to root it).

After you successfully unlocked it, you can go to CWM and restore it back.

when i got my unlock code from tmobile i do it like i do any other phone.

power off

insert sim

power on

screen pops up insert code

put in code

unlocked
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
did tmobile ask you to fax them a receipt of your purchase of phone since u requested a unlock code or are you under contract.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Nope.

All I have to do is to provide IMEI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
i did that and than inside my email they ask for verification of purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Did you purchase from corp store or from my t-mobile?

I wasn't asked for proof of purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
purchased from a tmobile store outright.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
This is strange because I was not asked for receipt for the phones purchased from corp store or my t-mobile. It may be possible you didn't purchase under your phone number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
If you are in good standing, thet wouldn't ask you for anything. I bought my g2x off CL, and I got my unlock code through email with no problem whatsoever, got my code 8 hours after i've requested it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr. Clown:
sweet added to the sticky (rollup and forum).

Thanks,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Here is the instruction from T-Mobile. I asked for the unlock code through their web chatting and they send me the unlock code 8 hours later.

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference: xxxxxx

IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXX

Unlock Code: XXXXXXXX

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your Samsung device. Please be advised a non T-Mobile SIM card MUST be used to unlock this device.

- Insert a NON T-Mobile SIM & turn Device on

- The Device will automatically prompt you to enter code into an empty field.

- Tap in the empty field above the "Unlock & Dismiss" options (this will display a key pad on the screen).

- Using the key pad input the Unlock Code provided by T-Mobile.

- Press the Back button to remove the keyboard from screen.

- Tap the "Unlock" option; handset should display "Network Unlock Successful".

Thank You,

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
It didn't work on my Optimus T. I exactly followed the instruction but there's NO prompt when I put in old Wataniya (from Kuwait) SIM, so I did a search and found the working instruction.

It was used for Optimus P540, but I found it also works with Optimus T (change to 509) and G2x (change to 999) and I got an unlock prompt even with T-Mobile SIM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bhagiratha:
Got my unlocked code from tmobile within 12hrs for my G2x that I purchased from ebay. All the lady ask for was the IMEI number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sombooty09:
do u noe the unlock code for phonetestmode or hiddenmenu?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Just wanted to say the OP was correct. I used the 2945#*999# to unlock my G2X and it worked perfectly. Only thing I should have known is that it won't work if you are on Wifi Calling. It needs a GSM signal to request the unlock.

P.S. I got the unlock code from unlockthatphone.com for $15. Took 12 hours to get it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] trasnam:
Wanted to say thanks for this thread. I chatted with a T-Mobile representative yesterday via the website and the request got sent in around 12:30 Eastern. Twenty-three hours later I had the code waiting in my inbox.

I decided to try an old, deactivated AT&T SIM I had in an old phone and it worked just fine to enter the unlock code. I would have used the Dialer method mentioned in the OP if that didn't work though, as I was able to get the unlock text box by entering the Dialer code as a test yesterday.

Thanks for the information, everyone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] neozengar:
I found this guide to be very helpful. I thank you as I am still waiting for my phone to arrive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
So unlocking does what? You can use it on ATT with what internet speeds? You can also use it in other countries to right? Whats the data speeds though?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
You can use SIM from other carrier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
I got my unlock code from t-mobile. I put in an ATT SIM & nothing appeared - so I tried this method. What happens to me is my phone says "USSD code running..." and then it just sits there - never pops up anything for me to enter the unlock code.

I'm running CM7, so I'm wondering if I actually have to flash my phone back to stock just to unlock the damn thing - sure hope not..hahaha

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks!

Nice. Any chance of icons for calculator and root explorer? Is the clock Fancy Widgets Tron skin?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
the calculator is a good idea. i wont theme root explorer as its a paid theme. and good eye, that is trom theme bw. i will also try adn put together some wall papers and icons as well. if you have requests for icons please let me know. i will do my best. if its a paid app i may not be able to.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheBadBen:
Fair enough on the root explorer icon. It'd be nice to have all my icons match. I guess I'll think about something to replace it on my dock. I'm not so sure about the Superman WP, but whatever. The effect is right.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
well the icon i can do. i just can theme it and release it. i will do an icon for root explorer. i was just saying if i dont have the app and its a paid app, im not gonna buy it just to make an icon. give me a few days on the icons and i will try and trow some wallpapers together today.

Wow gunner! You port all the freshest themes and the work you add is fire! I'm a dark theme fan (rocking black alien since you launched it) but this one might lure me to the lightside. Thanks for all you do.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
i will post some icons in a bit. i cant seem to get them sized right for launcher pro, but i will release what i have in the mean time.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
im glad you like my stuff. im working on the phone.apk (the in call dialer) right now. as it was not part of the op's theme it is taking some time. but i hope to have it done along with launcher pro icons this afternoon or tomorrow.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
this one is awesome mike. gj homie
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akellar:
Thanks for getting this ported over. It's an awesome theme. One question - is it possible to post the icons as a stand alone file? That way they could be used in ADW or another launcher?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
i will post them soon. im having a fight with launcher pro right now.

this a flashable zip, or just unzip and replace the icons?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheBadBen:
unzip and replace. Mike, this is great. Thank you.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdkzombie:
icons...un zip and replace....how the hell do i do that?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] cpark_12:
Download the file, go to that file and extract it. Depending on what launcher you're running depends on the method you use to change the icon. I usually long press the icon, choose edit, choose picture from gallery, then choose the new icon I wanna use. I'm running adw ex launcher, but I think the process is fairly similar on all launchers

Hey Gunner man this theme is awesome love it. Normally I like dark themes but this one I had to flash. Any chance on an update with sbrissen's new 7 lockscreen update?

Ill let you in on a secret. We are testing com rom 1.3 now. As soon as its ready I will release v2 that will have 7 lock.

Nice Thanks again Gunner
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdellingson7:
Any chance of an update with new Launcher pro, i love the themed icons and have even tried pulling out the pngs but sizing is considerable smaller for some reason. Thanks again Gunner your themes are awesome
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] gunnermike:
this is the latest version of lpp. if you read previous pages you will find my continuing struggle to address this issue.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdellingson7:
No there is a newer version of lp that has true looping and icon pack support. You have packed Version 0.8.5 into the theme, newer version is Version 0.8.6. Here is an article on it: http://www.androidcentral.com/launcherpro-086-brings-icon-pack-support-and-more

Wonder if this might help with the icon sizing issue?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] karib4:
I love this theme... Thanks ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Gunner, I have been using thee icons since sv0911 (I think) created them. I am looking yours over and have a question. Can you add the lock, loudness and the oblong dialers phone button? Need these for my ADW lockscreen.

Is the wallpaper embedded in the theme?

Here's my wallpaper, which makes the icons POP

I've been trying to video call a couple of people using the 'Video Call' button in the dialler/contacts on the Galaxy S II but haven't got it working yet. My boyfriend has a Dell Streak and kinda thought considering that has a front facing camera that it would work!

Anyone know what protocol the video calling is using? Will it work with other phones besides the SGS2? Has anyone got it to work?

:confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dashers:
I think it's proper 3G video calling, but I no longer know anybody with a phone that supports this as everybody is on new-fangled smartphones that can't do normal video calling.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
What handset is your colleague using?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obakesan:
Trouble with 3G video calling is the price, last I could remember it was like 50p a minute and never took off when 3 UK started promoting it initially. Mind you, the data plans have got up now (though 3's all-you-can-eat sounds good) I suppose.

I had to ring orange to activate it, now is working , wouldn't let me ring a video call until I did
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
Ooh, interesting! That just the standard 150?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snelz:
Aye 150, then after explaining the issue to the first agent he sent me to the more specialist team (forget name) and even he had to put me on hold to he find the issue as he had never come across it before. Took 24 hours to activate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I'll give 'em a ring. Need to call 'em about them stuffing up my account login online too.

Looked up the price and I don't think I'll be using it all the often when I do get it activated. 51p a minute to call my boyfriend on O2!

Do you know if you get any minutes included each month?

dumbest thing ever but

Hello,

I am looking to get a new phone the SG2 has been a dream for the last month but everybody says go for the IPHONE.

I need video calling like skype or tango, skype would be awesome but no release for android yet.

I am a social networking freak, no gaming, tweeting and facebooking mostly and youtube. and skype

so what shall i go for SG2 where people tell me android is too buggy with its apps and there is no skype but there is tango or ooovooo and a 2 megapixel camera

or the damned iphone that trace ur ass and kill chinese staff. very complicated choice and i think id love somebody to tell me that get the SG2 becoz skype will release a video calling feature for android soon and that the apps are not so full of bugs as some say.

or somebody tell me get the heck out of this forum and go get a damn apple toy!

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
Skype are working on video calling and there have been a couple of leaks but it appears it'll be a Verizon exclusive for a few months much like the app was.

I'd go for the SGS 2 but that's because I love Android. It's so much more customisable and the range of apps is pretty much the same. Go into a store and play with both; see which one you like best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
Oh I know, I'm not gonna root my phone just for the sake of a buggy GTalk app. I was just curious as to why the native video calling wouldn't work. Looks like a call to my carrier will sort it :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snelz:
i dont think so , and yes its quite steep, and the quality isnt great either, was very jerky when i called my girlfriend in the same room. we both got g2's.

qik video was much better through wifi, not tested it both on 3g / H yet

.. as for included minutes, it says this on the webpage

if you're on pay monthly

Your Plan 60, 120, 200 or 300

30 minutes per month for 3 months

Orange Premier – 600 or 900 minutes

60 minutes per month for 12 months

im on 1200 minutes a month so i might ring em and see if get a few minutes, but it doesnt use your regular minutes i know that much .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
Guys are you saying the Video Call button in the dialer is only intended for British networks?

Can I "setup" that button to call using Skype, if I am not on Orange or some other network that supports the original Video Call functionality on SGS2?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimas.94:
So, hello people, I recently got my X1, used, and I already LOVE this phone, definitely the best I've used so far...So I'm searching around for software to make it more useful, etc.

I found this: 4pockets.com/product_info.php?p=81

If you open the PDF Manual, it says it will need a multi-function 3.5mm jack

"Many popular makes of Pocket PC's have a multi-function 3.5mm headset jack

which has both microphone and headphones in a single socket."

This is what i need, does my X1 have it? If no, is there any possible way to get/make one? (For example, using the USB port to get a line input?)

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwikonnections:
By that definition, yes, the Xperia X1 has a multifunction jack. It is a 3.5mm jack with a ground, left and right headphone, and microphone pins. The stock microphone also has a button that allows you to pick up and end calls.

Hey all,

I usually am a huge fan of Zagg and GhostArmor - but neither have the GSII shield available yet -- so until then I ordered these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UBXH1E

$1.99 for 5. Even if they're cheap, they'll do until Zagg/GA gets their stuff designed/shipped.

Anyone in the USA using something different?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pinkthesink:
I just ordered those after seeing your post. I always use bodyguardz full body sets. They come with 2 complete front and backs per box. I don't use the screen protector included or any type that uses the 3M vinyl material (zagg, skinomi, etc) I just use them for the rest of the phone.

I like high quality "hard" screen protectors. I really like the realook brand. They feel just like the nice glass these phones have and are truly crystal clear.

When did you order the EZguardz? My gs2 should ship on the 4th, I hope these screens aren't coming from china.

Rep supervisor said that the reason for the yellow tint was from a light and it wasn't bleeding. Rep said bleeding is liquid rainbow color and not to worry.The issue is being looked into howv the tint wont get worse . What do u guys think?. Is this the answer we been looking for....post your answer..lets get screenshots from everyone...so we can compare just attach screenshot and upload

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Rainbow effect? Lmfao I hope you don't think that is a correct answer... backlight bleeding is when light escapes creating a glowing effect on dark screens..... rainbowing comes from a bad light in the phone or TV that causes leaking of ALL the colors in the spectrum through. Light backgrounds or screens..... if you really got that "answer" from a LG Rep God help us all

Its not the lights fault its them damn. No I'm not racist

LG needs to own up and stop making random guess's why the screen is all jacked. Up...... it's because faulty quality checks and poor manufacturing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. It is so obvious that light isn't suppose to ''bleed'' through the LCD panel. It is hardware issue and there is not way to fix it with software updates. However I believe that the random reboots are software related, so I would tell them to work on that fix software-wise and to replace our defective phones with ones that don't bleed!

P.S. In case anybody wants to know what tv i have, its a ln52a650 samsung.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chainar1:
I was actually thinking about doing the same thing. It somewhat makes sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rotohammer:
Yes, its obviously from the backlight LED, as there is inadequate light barrier between the point source and the edge of the LCD. The phone is a tight sandwich of parts and if the assembly of the backlight, its diffuser backplane and the LCD are off just a fraction of a millimeter, you'll get corner leakage.

Based on my experience with repairing phones, it may be easy to fix with a small shim or a piece of tape over the corner LED.
