Can an unlocked Dinc2 work on AT&T or T-Mobile? I don't want to face the same situation like with the Droid Pro or Droid 2 Global you know. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
probably not. they might work as a phone, but not for data. i'm pretty sure the 3G bands are different.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
Well you "can", but people found out the carrier (AT&Tmo) is responsible for blocking your phone. They want you to buy their phones

sent via rooted Droid Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LowFire82:
Apparently it can but only on the EDGE network

One guy on here even said he got it to work with TMobile, post #5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066953
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] b0gman:
I'm pretty sure I would be the guy that they reference to be able to get it to work all you have to do is insert your sim card and manually change the apns. I got it to work fine on Tmobile

Edit: every time you switch from Tmobile to Verizon or visa versa it will make you re sign in most every account on your phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] droidwal:
got Dinc2 for wife last week, may swap with her as I travel in areas with no Verizon, as well as foreign, so I can use GSM. Has anyone tried ATT prepaid SIM in Dinc2 yet? When I get chance, I'll try it, and use b0gman's suggestion.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sactoguy:
Does anyone know if Dinc2 still works on At&t and Tmo with unlock code bought on eBay? A couple of sellers on eBay claims that it will work ONLY outside the US. I really want to make sure because I may be getting a new Dinc2 at great price.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] insink71:
US carriers do work Dinc2

It works inside the US if you unlock the sim. Couple of methods to get the unlock code: 1) Be a Verizon customer for 6 mos in good standing and call and request it from them 2) get a XTC clip and get it yourself 3) buy the code from some unlocking service... After that just go to your wireless settings and set it to GSM and input your APN settings and it should work just fine. Mine works on Tmo. It occasionally acts up and I have to reregister it, but most of the time it works just fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k1mu:
Yes. I worked with VZ to unlock my Dinc2 and used a prepaid SIM for a trip to Europe - UK, Italy, Greece, Turkey. All worked fine and way lower cost than VZ roaming. Same situation - my wife got the Dinc that I used to use.

GSM is why I upgraded from a Dinc to a Dinc 2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nojoke0:
Using pay as you go ATT for backup telephone paid $100 for the whole year($8 a month)

How to with no data too much $$$ anyway

S-Off

Install Recovery Root

Install Senseless Rom by Lefty

Get unlock code from Verizon

Put in Pay as you go ATT

Settings/Call/GSM

Get IMEI to register with pay as you go

enjoy!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Just an fyi...I got an unlock code from Verizon, activated with T-mobile Sim, entered the apn's, but I live in a roaming area so I don't have data until I get into T-Mobile coverage again, luckily I have wifi at my house. Also edge service is slower that 3g with Verizon....but not a lot,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Weselers:
ATT works aswell just unlocked my Dinc2 and I can switch between verizon service and ATT at will. Edge only but it uses the 3g/4g (UMTS) frequencies of Tmobile, maybe a ROMed phone with the right kernel could get that working
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Chase60now:
I bought from several different vendor for $0.99....3 out of four refunded my money right away...fourth one sent me working unlock code...$0.99!! and my phone works with T mobile....only getting Edge for now....with APN settings exactly copied from my LG G2x.....I'll try to get 3g working and post if I get it done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikyftw:
can you please tell me where you got your unlock code?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I don't believe you will get 3g due to the bandwidth's.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I don't know if it would be because of bandwidth so much as whether or not the dinc2 radio is able to pick up those signals.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
That is what I meant just couldn't quite wrap my head around the right word LOL.

[Acer Iconia A500] intender:
I am having a similar issue. I used this to get up US version unbricked and it worked, but now I am unable to update the tab to any of the newer versions. I have manually downloaded the 141.07 and tried to flash it and get and error about signature verification failed. any way around this now.
[Acer Iconia A500] futty:
so I am guessing the update I tried to get before I realized my tab got bricked because I renamed the phone files I won't get it after flashing this update? I really would like the update that supposdly came out may26. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
That worked
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
Where did you download the update?
[Acer Iconia A500] gunnyman:
Acer needs to put out a system recovery image with this Tablet. Their computers have them. The hoops we have to jump through to get OUR hardware working are ridiculous. Hell you can load a restore image on a freaking IPAD, but not this ?
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
a flashable factory recovery image should come with the tablet just like recovery partitions on some PCs.

Especially since the Acer update screwed up my tablet. All I had done is run gingerbreak and installed some screencap apps.

I hope the 3.1 update is better
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxer1:
Ok guys, hoping someone can help...I am not rooted and did update to 2.2.2.

Whenever I plug my headphones in the Atrix starts to act really funky...it thinks I'm pushing the in line button and starts my music automatically or initiates a phone call to my last dialed contact. Very strange and annoying. Yesterday the thing totally freaked out while I was on a phone call (using my headset) and kept dialing and hanging up on the person I was talking to...

Any ideas here? Anyone experience something similar. By the way, it's not just the type of headphones (Bose) that I'm using because it did the same thing when I had it hooked up to my tape deck in my car to play music. While using Pandora all of a sudden Winamp would start playing out of no where.
[Xoom General] shikage:
I'm not sure if this or Q&A is a better place for this, so I'm reposting here as well.

I really like to sort my videos into a nice little heirarchy as supported in iTunes. Ie: Movies, Video Clips and TV shows then TV Shows further sorted into series and then possibly season. I've always liked iTunes' ability to let me do this but the program is slow and resource intensive and doesn't sync with Android.

I recently got an Xperia Play which came with the Media Go software. This software lets set videos as Movies, Clips or Shows and set season and series info, etc.. all that wonderful stuff. Now I'm hoping to find a media player or organizer that can continue this.

Does anyone have a program they can recommend that can detect the type of media a video file is from this data and sort it appropriately? And is compatible with Xoom as my Xoom tablet is the device I intent do use for viewing videos (Bigger screen and all that after all. :))
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
I recall about a month and a half ago, all of the xda peeps getting together and raising a big stink against viewsonic and nvidia about not supporting our choice of tablets, I also recall them saying that they were going to continue to support the tablet from that point on.

Well...... I haven't seen much from either of them and it seems that this community is content to sit back and and get fed a load of crap from 2 companies that should have better track records for customer service than they have shown us.

What gives? are we dead in the water? Did they just say enough to appease us in hopes that we would just go away? Are we just going to sit here and keep saying to ourselves that something is "coming soon"?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
LOL ! ! RIP GTAB :eek:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
actually there may be little stink becuase some people have realized that we dont' need VS to provide us what we need. They let the 1.2 bootloader out of hte bag, then closed the bag back up, rather quickly. The 1.2 bootloader is the same bootloader that Notion Ink uses on the Adam, also produced by Malata, also with the Tegra 2 Harmony hardware, and now also with the same bootloader as the G-Tablet.

So, since we've accepted that VS is going to be the proverbial dead beat dad, we've noticed that Notion Ink is a tad more responsible. So, what dad won't provide, maybe we can get from stepdad.

It's rumored that Notion Ink is getting an official GB update, with drivers from Nvidea. All VS had to do was make it possible for G-Tablet devs to port roms from Adam (done with 1.2 bootloader) and tada, they no longer need to support the device, because they can rely on others to do it for them.

We'd like them to continue providing updates, or at least admit that we are still here, but we don't necessarily NEED them to do it anymore.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prscott1:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Just have a look around. Roebeet is working on a HC port. Adam evs have begun working on a port for HC, and Roe is working on fixing the bugs to make it work on the G-Tablet. It's still in Alpha versions, but has caused some pretty big waves in the community...but, video drivers are proviing to be the deal breaker there right now, too.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldfirex:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
Sorry about posting in rom dev. I always check here first and was saddened by the lack of new items coming in.

It isn't just the software that I'm speaking of, what about all the hardware that other tablet vendors have available the docking stations actually made for their tablets, the cases and covers that fit without any modifications.

I went into a "tech" store the other day, won't mention which one, and when I explained that I already had a VS tablet the salesperson actually said.. "Well we sell real android tablets here so let me know if you want to talk about what we have in stock."

Seriously ! Samsung is just as bad as VS when it comes to support in any way. Be happy with your purchase and in a year get a transformer when the price drops to 250 and it already has a fat stack of roms to play with.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xith:

I read about it quite a bit here prior to my purchase and knew that I'd be able to at least get it rocking a solid and clean froyo.. If I can get GB and/or HC on it eventually that's just icing on the cake for me.. (I say eventually, because I won't jump until hw vid accel is nearly 100%)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigd5783:
I hate to sponsor another site but you should go check out www.slatedroid.com Roebeet is there releasing tons of roms for this beast. I don't know why you are complaining unless you paid the full 499 or whatever price these tabs normally sell for. I picked mine up for 299 and haven't looked back. OCed to 1.4 ghz brilliant corners rom is running perfectly it ran great at stock too. Im getting between 3800 and 4100 in quadrant I have yet to get below a 3800. It runs all my games fine flash 10.3 and full market access. Its exactly what I want.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
as far as hardware and accessories, you'll just never get that with ANY android tablet. sure, you'll get some things from the manufacturer, like our dock, and official tablet, but there just isn't anything pushing third party vendors to make products specific to any android tablet. The main reason is that each tablet is just so different.

If we are going ot bite the bullet and insist n NOT getting an iThing, then we have ot accept that we won't have as many iAccessories or iDocks, or iCases, etc.

I bought a zune...2 of them actually, knowing that I wouldn't be able ot use any of the plethora of accessories that were made for the iPod.

Any instruction on how? I was able to install it and open it but when I try to play a movie it just kicks back to my que.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
I over-reacted. Thanks to all for your more realistic perspectives on the device :p

However...

I understand that completely, and to be honest I wouldn't use most of that iPoo anyway, and thankfully we aren't completely restricted to proprietary or licensed stuff.

HOWEVER... I would expect what few accessories released for this thing to work with not much of a hitch.

I'm talking about the dock here, and the ethernet port. Even though it looks like we're getting closer to having the ethernet port to working with most all ROMs, about all you can do with it is browse the web. Whether or not this is because of Android or the G Tablet or whatever, if I knew the ethernet port wouldn't work completely well, I may have gone with another tablet or at least would have considered another one.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
But that has absolutely nothing to do with Viewsonic. Netflix itself needs to release versions that work on each type of hardware. once it's released for any of the Tegra based machines, then it could be ported to the G-Tablet.

If you think about it, the G-Tablet still doesn't have (nor will it ever) an OFFICIAL Google market.

there are still individual apps that don't work on the G-Tablet, but that do work on some phones, or other tablets. Just about everything we have has been modded in some way to make it work on our tablets.

The problem with that thinking is that Viewsonic never actually said that we will have Gmarket access. they never said that we would be able to play streaming Netflix.

You can't fault them at all for things that they have no control over...If that were the case, then we could all be pissed that we don't get IOS apps, or windows capability...

Hell, one of my pet peeves about it that I accepted prior to buying is the odd shape, making it not fit into iPad cases, etc...but hey, I live with it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigd5783:
Wait a second this is the fun part. This is the entire reason I bought this tablet over say the xoom or a crappad. I mean come on isn't that why we are here?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I can't say I disagree at all, but when somebody's main complaint is "No netflix," I need to step in an defend Viewsonic for that which they have no control over.

I mean, for crying out loud, iPad doesn't even have flash working..I'd imagine that given the proper tools, a developer could get it working in a jiffy, but then Apple wouldn't be in control anymore...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
The docK, as well, wasn't designed specifically for the G-Tablet, we just got lucky that it fits. (works is another story) I, personally, am just glad that I can plug ANYTHING besides just a dock port into my G-Tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
Also, my understanding is NO ONE has Netflix working on Honeycomb yet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cotangent05:
YES, BECAUSE FLASH is not Working for NOW, and roebeet and other developers are into it, fixing, tweaking, and finding possible solution to this, so be patient my friends,, :)

wow, i didn't know that ipad doesn't have flash support, wew, i wonder how do they live without flash.. their SELFISHNESS bastards! they all think of money money money... cha-ching-cha-ching, ba-bling-ba-bling.. :DD haha
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I think they mean official HC tablets ie Xoom, Transformer, etc.

As I mentioned, this has nothing to do with Viewsonic, Motorola, Asus, etc. it has everything to do with Netflix. With all of the hardware and software versions for Android devices, I can only imagine that you can't just creat one APK to have it stream movies properly to all devices.

and no, iDevices do not have flash support...kinda sad, isn't it? (NOT REALLY!!!)

This is why I bought what I bought...no flash, no memory upgrade, no USB, and you're stuck wiht iTunes...damn, I can't see the screen as well, or get a plush Hello Kitty case to put it in...I'll live with that, thanks!
