[HTC Desire S] earthman6020:
So I got a Desire S a few weeks ago, but didn't have time to play with it yet. Now I do. It is from T-Mobile Austria, and the first thing I did is generate a goldcard to flash the unbranded WWE ROM. (The first file in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 ).

It still won't let me use any other SIM Cards, after asking for the PIN, it tells me that, "Network locked" and asks for a PIN.

So short question: Is it possible to remove this lock? Could it be, that i have done something wrong with the goldcard (although i doubt that, since it would let me flash the generic rom)?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
No, flashing a Rom doesn't unlock the sim. This has to be done through sim level via an xtc clip, it opens up all the security including the infamous s-on to s-off allowing root access.

So for sim unlock go to a unlocker phone shop.
[HTC Desire S] earthman6020:
I did not need to go to a shop, I used "gsmliberty.net" (no I am NOT affiliated to this site). Was relatively cheap (first 11€, then they wanted another 7€ to look in some "premium databases"), so 18€ altogether, thats the price other sites want too. Took me about 20 minutes, and the code actually worked - altough the site does not list "Desire S" but just "Desire". Support told me, that would not matter, and it did not. So anyone else looking to unlock a "Desire S", I can recommend gsmliberty.net, worked for me, and the site seems legit. If they can't give you an unlock code, they say they will refund the money, I didn't need that, so I can't tell you if this would work.
[HTC Desire S] analyze7:
does this mean that if i get a code from a mobile operator (i.e.: Three in the UK), I can use the code to make the phone both sim-unlock and s-off?

I asked Three when I ordered my desire S and they would offer a code to unlock the phone for 15 pounds. I don't know if the code will make the phone s-off as well?
[HTC Desire S] Drag0nXP:
Hmmm... if you can flash roms so why u didn't simply flash it with some unlocked rom? otherwise u need to get s-offf first
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Oh yes my bad, I misunderstood. Network operators give unlock codes to unlock to other network.

I was referring to what most people wanted to be able to go s-off route.

______________________________

Used Xda premium app on Desire S (s-off and rooted)
[HTC Desire S] earthman6020:
yes, I just removed the network lock (so I can use a SIM card that is not from T-Mobile Austria). I already have flashed the "free" RUU, but that obviously does not remove a SIM lock. And since the rooting/S-offing is in early stages I did not want to try that yet ;)

So gsmliberty (and the code you could get from your provider) just remove the network lock, that has nothing to do with S-offing the phone!
[HTC EVO 3D] nbaj2k:
I just had a question about the potential rooting of the Evo 3d. I assume it would take awhile before any aosp rom is able to be loaded which uses any of the 3d features of the phone (cyanogem roms) HTC sense obviously supports it, and but I didn't think that 3d was included as part of the standard android os with there not being many 3d phones yet.

I don't know too much about how it works, just thought id ask.

Thanks,

J
[HTC EVO 3D] xeper:
I just want to know how/if the 3D works in both landscape and portrait modes.
[HTC EVO 3D] tannerw_2010:
I've wondered these things as well....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
I'm trying to decide between the two. I know I'm going to get some biased opinions towards the Xoom, but that's fine.

I'm leaning towards the Xoom because it has removable SD and a USB port while the Galaxy does not. However, the Galaxy is lighter and is supposed to have better battery life.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dixon_coxon:
Out of the box the xoom does not have a functional removable sd card. If I were on the market now, I would probably go with the Galaxy 10.1
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia1994:
for me i will still choose xoom. samsung sucks on updates, n xoom's sdcard will be available soon. I sometimes take hd videos with xoom too

anyway, if u wan a super beautiful display, go for galaxy
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The update issue is a thing of the past. Read about the 18 month upgrade policy.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
Where can I find that info?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
If I were to purchase the Xoom today from Amazon would it come with Android 3.1 or 3.0? If 3.0, how do I upgrade?

Does 3.1 enable use of the external SD?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Depends on the age of their stock I guess. No, 3.1 doesn't enable MicroSD, in fact, unless you're on a Verizon one, it doesn't do much of anything really.

Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qubz:
have you seen the problem with the screens coming off the limited edition releases ? Supposedly the back flexes too. I'm sticking with my XoOm..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
I've read the screen on the Galaxy is not very responsive to quick taps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
If it did come with 3.0 out of the box, will it update to 3.1 automatically when I power it up?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtkxhom3r:
yea when i got my wifi xoom it made me update to 3.1 within the first 15 min
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tagacapiz:
I second that Samsung sucks at updates.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubsors:
They may up at more but that doesn't mean they will do so in a reasonable time period. I have an epic 4g and they took their sweet ass time getting froyo and it was still buggy after two froyo releases.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2flol:
Battery life is not even a factor for me, i've had this since launch and have been unable to drain my battery with heavy use. Lowest i've gotten was 15% and that was 8.5 hours of SCREEN ON time. (normal days i dont even go below 80)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarwizard:
The galaxy tab is seeming to be more of a Google favorite, and Motor has shifted their attention away from the Xoom in order to refine the tablet experience with a new product. I'm keeping my Xoom WiFi only until I get my Tab 10.1 in the mail (which will hopefully be June 10th or so)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
Considering reports that the galaxy tabs glass is coming off the face of the tablet, and my wife owns a samsung captive with a similar issue... I'd trust their build quality about as far as I can throw a sumo wrestler.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferasu:
1- Xoom has solid build quality, whereas Samsung's is sensitive. (Xoom)

2- physical SD card available for Xoom, you can get it to work with kernals. (Xoom)

3- Faster updates (Xoom)

4- Screen quality (Galaxy)

5- Weight (Galaxy)

6- External design and looks (it's judgmental, but Galaxy).

Personally, I went with the Xoom, since SD and USB port are my deal breakers with the lolIpad II.

also you can check this:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oaz1:
I think both sucks on Updates! Only US Xoom got an update to 3.1, if you are european you need to wait. Go to the next electronic store an check both out, its the best to see the screens and the reflection of the screens. Xoom had a pretty hard reflection, its more a mirror than a screen, in my opinion!

I had the same question like you, which one should i take. I take the xoom, SD and USB, and the important thing its available in my country and i dont need to wait. The galaxy its thin and had a lower weight.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
I ended up ordering the Xoom and it's on it's way!
[Droid X General] bigdogsmhs306:
I have a rooted Droid X and I am trying to install apps from the market. When the apps get down downloading i get this error:

View attachment 609367

This does not happen to all the apps, just some apps that i try to install. I also get this when i try to update some apps to.

Anyone have a idea what i could do to fix this?
[Droid X General] Mr_Alexander:
I was getting that message as well. I searched around and found this bit of advice as a work around: just unmount the SD Card by going into Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card & download whatever you wanted, then just re-mount the card when the install finished. But I grew tired of that so I copied the files on my card onto my computer & used my DX to re-format the card. Then I re-loaded most of the files I copied & haven't had that problem since.

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtcs:
I have my SGS2 linked to a Pioneer DEH-P75BT car audio player.

The phone links to P75BT via bluetooth, and when I make or receive a call I hear the sound through my cars speakers.

If I use Navigation I don't hear any turn by turn navigation instructions, either through the phones external speaker, or the car speakers.

If I turn off bluetooth, then I start hearing the turn by turn instructions through the phones external speaker, which is what I want. How do I make the Navigation software audible through the phones speaker whilst the phone is still connected via bluetooth to the P75BT?

I'm actually thinking of getting a replacement audio system for the car, because the P75BT only lets me re-connect the phone if it's discoverable. I shouldn't need to keep doing that once they've paired.

Also I thought maybe a newer bluetooth car audio system might not suffer from the first problem I described.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tiwey:
Ok for rom manager and titanium is z4root sufficient?

Or do I need root for more steps in the flashing process?

All in all is a temp root sufficient or do I NEED perma root?
[HTC Inspire 4G] wade7919:
Do the full root, i don't think z4root will do anything.

You have to have S-OFF to flash anything btw.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Perma. Fully root your phone to avoid problems. You lose root when you turn off your phone so if you wanna flash something, you WILL need Perma root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
And s-off like wade7919 said. But that will be taken care of during the rooting process
[HTC Inspire 4G] azz72:
just a question will this z4root work on any android device
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
I previously downloaded and installed cm7 beta 6 using the mirror ....No 720p is working on that. Members said that 720p is working on the nightly builds. There is a nightly builds link on the cm7 page. What should i download in that....which is the latest.

If i upgrade to cm7 nightly without wiping data and formatting cache.........will the settings be as it is or will it be lost?????

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] laxwillsch:
Seems way to obvious but have you enabled usb debugging?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cisox:
I had to do the following:

1) Enable USB Debugging

2) Install Samsung Kies (samsung (dot) com/ca/kies)

3) Install the Samsung USB Driver. (developer (dot) samsung (dot) com/googleio)

Once I did those three things, I plugged in and it detected the device, installed the hardware using the correct drivers, and the device showed up in 'adb devices'.

i enabled USB debugging and that didnt work either .. device still doesnt show up in finder

do i need to install both of these from the above page?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japawaiian:
Can the XDA Mods or whoever please please make 2 seperate threads for this. I have a SPRINT Nexus S and i want to root and put a good rom on my NXS but after reading and reading and reading, i realize the thread is meant for the Tmobile GSM version. I am seriously just done, im confused, i dont know what threads to even go by right now. I dont know what Recovery Console, Root Method, Files, Roms are even what i should be looking for at this point. I didnt even know that Tmobile has the nexus s. I work at a Sprint Corporate store and i thought we were the only one that has the Nexus S...

Can someone shed some light for me here??

I was pretty active with my Samsung Moment over at SDX and even posted some Write-ups on rooting, theming, installing roms for the moment. Now i have the nexus s and want to do the same but this is mind boggling now that im seeing people talking about the tmobile gsm version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
So if it says 4g then it for you. If not then don't flash it. Easy as pie.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 87Octane:
What he said. Anything that pertains to sprint version will say so on title otherwise assume its for gsm version. There are plenty of stickies with ns4g noted on title with info on roms root methods etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japawaiian:
not to mention i cant even post replies in any DEV thread asking if this thread/files are meant for the sprint nexus s.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
I think they all clearly say what phone you can use it on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japawaiian:
i havent seen a thread title that had "sprint" in it. so is "ns4g" pertaining to the sprint version? because tmobile has a 4G network also
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carne_Asada_Fries:
Yes, the T-Mobile version is just known as a Nexus S and the phone doesn't actually support the 4G radio. It will often be referred to as the i9020, i9023 and such.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Yes it is easy to figure out which threads are for which phone, but I agree with the OP that there should be a separate forum for the CDMA and GSM versions of the phone. Especially now that the CDMA version is catching on and more and more people are jumping on the NS4G bandwagon. I hope the mods listen and separate the 2. I love my fellow T-Mobile peeps and would miss them, but it needs to be done because I can see how it would be confusing for noobs especially.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
tmobile has a 4G (3.5G cough) network but nexus S GSM does not support it. CDMA NS 4G from sprint does.

The actual names are also different in that respect:

Nexus S (T-mobile GSM)

Nexus S 4G (Sprint CDMA)

As you can see 4G is the only difference in the name hence the [4G] in most thread titles.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japawaiian:
thanks for clearing things up, im not necessarily a noob..a noob to the xda forums yes. i got really into my moment on the sdx forums but FINALLY upgraded and sdx really has nothing. its looking like the process to root and install roms/kernels/kitchens are slightly different. im seeing everything done through adb where on my moment i just flashed the android opsys + recovery.tar with the samsung updater. threw the rom.zip, bootanimation.zip, themes and modded files/update/zips on the root of my sd and updated through recovery.

anyone have a stable rom you'll recommend? whats the difference between the CM Nightly and CM7?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
There is no stable for crespo4G (NS4G) but nighly 7 runs just fine. You can get it here. I also use Netarchy's kernel found here Make SURE you get the universal if you are running CM7.

Now, for stock, there is nothing better than Pete's stuff here You can also flash Netarchy's kernel but this time, you need the other one which says "for stock".

Also, be careful with which kernel you flash. Netarchy's post has many links including the GSM NS. Also, be careful with any other ROMs. We've had a case of bad ones for NS4G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuasarZ:
Like everyone else has been saying, in the ROM title it will show NS4g, or CDMA, or sprint. I have been browsing the dev section and have no issues. As far as a stable rom I am using Opensoju 0.2.4 and it appears to be working quite well. Read through the rom threads and see all the comments and then pick one and try it. If it is not to your liking, try another. When I had my EVO I flashed roms 10 times a day haha. It gets addicting!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japawaiian:
I see my voice has reached higher power and there is now 2 seperate parent threads. Nexus S and Nexus S 4G (sprint) :).

Anyone clear up what the difference of CM7 and The nightlies version?

Ok, here the situation. I'm running ZombieStomped 1.71 and even with the customizer update my pulldown text won't change. I'm flashed to MetroPCS so it's never said Verizon Wireless like it normally would.

I checked the eri.xml file from my framework-res.apk and it is changed. Pic to show what I mean:

Now, i'm curious about this line(pic below) and i'm wondering if changing it will change the pulldown text from Roaming Indicator Off to something else.

And I only thought about the build.prop after reading a thread on xda where someone said that might change it. So, the only thing I can think of changing that might get any results is changing

ro.com.android.dataroaming=true

to

ro.com.android.dataroaming=false

Once again, a pic to show what I mean:

So, anyone have some insight that will shine some light on this subject? Or anyone know an easier way? Or maybe i'm looking at the wrong files?

Would this port be possible?
