oh oh , thank you for you share
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bobsie41:
I have just returned home with a replacement device after bricking my 1st one within an hour of buying it trying another method of sim unlock!

Is this method at all risky as i don't think i will get away with another replacement from the same shop for the same reason!

Informed opinion would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] j@cks:
Well, all I can say is that this worked for me without any problem, unlocked and IMEI ok.

There are some FW (ROMs) that reinforce network lock, you may also take a look in your CSC section and make sure that inside the feature.xml file there is no line(s) for this network lock.

<force_network_lock>true</force_network_lock>

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bobsie41:
Thanks for the answer.

I've allready taken the plunge and everything is good. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] eduardito:
J@cks

I have tried to apply the unlock code without succes, I went to review the feature.xml file and found the <force_network_lock>true</force_network_lock>, my operator is telcel from Mexico.

How can I edit the file and please tell me if I only need to delete de line

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] j@cks:
Yes, you only need to delete the complete line, I will recommend also a complete wipe just to reinforce that the CSC config is loaded correctly after deleting that (those) line(s), remember you will lose all your data so please backup.

Hey ppl,

I need help, Ive unlocked my s5830 using the unlock method, it unlocked the phone as when I call *#7465625# , it comes up saying that the network lock if off but unfortunately when I put in any simcard inside it comes up without any reception?

It was locked onto Three(UK) and i've tried Vodafone, o2 and a Orange sim inside of it but to no avail, its the same problem. (I do not have a Three sim with me.)

I've even tried re-flashing the OS, degrading from 2.3.3 to 2.2, and from there to 2.3.5 but it hasnt fixed the problem.

When I do put in a sim card insdie of it is showing e.g. Vodafone written on the screen.

My IMEI number is working properly, so are the other things in the phone.

What could the problem be?

My firmware is: S5830XWKPW

Hi, as you can see I'm a noob (loved the video btw) anyhow, I bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Ace which is locked to O2 (bought with smashed digitiser which I have replaced without any probs) I just can't seem to get the thing unlocked :\

O2 say the handset can't be unlocked till the handset had been used with one of their sims in it for 12 months (July 2012)

Have tried buying 2 different unlock codes, neither have worked :( Been into a shop in town today only to be told they are not unlocking Galaxe Ace's any more due to probs!!

Have read through this thread but I don't understand where to start (see, said i was a noob) Can anyone talk me through it or point me to a step by step guide?

Thanks

Can anyone suggest an arm band for the Epic Touch 4G? Unfortunately the extra size of the phone has made my current one unusable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
try this one, its a belt

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] girthfingers:
Is it comfortable to run with a belt like that on? Seems like it would be bouncing all over the place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
It doesn't bounce and you won't even know it's there after half a mile. I had mine for over a year and used it with an Evo 4g, nexus s, Photon, and an Epic 4g Touch. Ask for the bigger size model. You can fit extra batteries and keys in there too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blinkSS:
Is our phone the same dimensions of the infuse? I imagine since it's been out longer there may be some options and could fit our phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnMastrix:
That's not belt, it's a fanny pack.

infuse screen = 4.5, epic touch screen = 4.52
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diaa08:
i tried the infuse 4G cases, they fit fine, not exactly the right size, but even the hard cases were big enough. the main issue is that the infuse is square at the corners. but any soft case or band or belt or fanny pack that fits the infuse should at least hold you over. i would say wait for an exact fit if you can, but the universalish armbands that fit the infuse will be 100% fine.

I bought one for my Evo 3D from http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...53&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_3027wt_926

You can't beat the price $4.17, it take a little longer to get to you but seriously for that price....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazzytime:
Do you think the fact that the Evo 3D is a little thicker mean the Epic 4G would move around inside the armband? I would want something to hold the phone tight. If so, then this seems good enough for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lopezpm:
The Evo3D fit in there very tight, so I think it would be fine for our phone. I don't have it with me at the moment or I would try it out for you, but here's the link to the Galaxy S 2

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justadude:
FYI, if you're picking up a Tunebelt there are a couple different sizes, I believe the one mentioned in the thread previously is the AB85, I ended up picking up the slightly smaller size, AB84, and it fits the 4.5" GSII just fine.

Granted I'm using the T-Mo variant but I believe the AB84 should fit the Sprint variant just as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
I am aiming for the EVO3D one from Ebay, but I wonder if the Epic Touch will fit in there without having to take off the TPU case.

dja2k
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
The one I had for my OG Evo fits my E4GT, but I always remove the TPU case because the raised edge makes it harder for the plastic from the case to make contact with the screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
I have the LG Bluetooth Headset that has media controls so I wouldn't be moving anything on the screen while I am working out.

dja2k
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Medic1013:
I've been using this and have zero complaints. I've used it with my Evo and now the Epic. Does not bounce at all and honestly the reviews are spot on when they say you won't even know its there.

Its not big like a fanny pack so manly men don't be scared. My shirt covers anyways :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Tunebelt here, too. The one I got for my Evo works fine with my E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] girthfingers:
I can report back that this works perfect. Easy access to screen and volume rocker (through the case).

One flaw though is that I have noticed moisture build up on the inside of the plastic front piece after "sweatier" activities. The phone is not wet but moisture definitely gets into the inside.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BethyM:
Which model do you have? I want it to fit the TPU case. The AB85 is pricier than the others so if it's not necessary that'd be good to know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
I got this one in the mail yesterday. http://www.ebay.com/itm/150655769682?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 It was designed for the GSII but I thought it might work. It does fit inside though is a snug fit. I had to stretch the strap on the top to get it to fit over but it does. The holes for volume and power are not lined up correctly. The power worked by pushing through the case but the up volume didn't because the snug fit was keeping the button pushed down. The other problem was the bottom part covered up the home and back buttons so they were unusable. Using an exacto knife, I expanded the cut-out holes for volume and power and also the bottom part to create a hole to access home and back and now it works great. It looks sturdy enough that the cuts won't cause any problems but it's only been 1 day so I can't be sure. I love the design overall and with my home improvements, it works great for me. I wrote to the guy on ebay and suggested he make one to fit our phone. Ultimately, my recommendation would not be to get this until he does. If you're okay with making the cuts (which was really easy to do), then I would wholeheartedly recommend this design. The advantages in this one over the others: super cheap; the armband is a very good length, the top has a strap so the phone can't fall out: inside is lined with felt to prevent scratches; easy access to the headphone and charger ports.

I had just opened a thread in the Apps and Themes forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1268796

It seems to be a nice roster, filled with good old RPG's to the brim (Arc the Lad, Alundra, Popolocrois, Wild Arms...) Just what we were asking for.
[Xperia Play General] JM43:
I wonder if they're still going to use the native 1.0.1 emulator. Or an improved one.
[Xperia Play General] Basharca:
This is huge :D

We bought this device because it was a great android smatphone that provided us with the best gaming experience due to it's physical buttons, and now look what we've got!!

I mean this totally changes everything. People always dreamed of a real psp phone! And it's finally happening :D
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Actually it isn't, I got mislead by Popolocrois. It's orignally a PSX game, but since it only got released outside of Japan in its PSP version, I thought it was a PSP title.
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
Sounds like a step in the right direction
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
This news is great, funny though, I couldn't tell if your wan was saying PS 3 SDK or PS Suite SDK, lololol!

I think they will release PSP Ports to us in the future.
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
Hmmm, definitely a step in the right direction, although a few of those games are already available on the Android store, and I haven't even heard of a handful of them (I'd have trouble even pronouncing the titles :P ), and some are obviously original titles. The linked article also suggests that these titles are for the Japanese market so the list may change when it's released everywhere else...we could get different games or we might just get a truncated list.

But I mean Magical Dice Kids? Really?

I think in the next round of updates it's time they brought some more well-known PSX titles to the market...stuff like ridge racer or gran turismo, some final fantasy titles, twisted metal, tekken, metal gear, god of war...they need to bring out some more Playstation recognisable titles for these Playstation certified devices. I'm not convinced people are buying these devices to play games like I.Q Intelligent Qube. They sound like games you'd buy for a DS, not a PS device.

This is a good start but the next step in what titles are released will be crucial. New games also need to be coming in regularly.
[Xperia Play General] Basharca:
Dude you have some strong points here, however, what's making me really positive about this whole thing is that the xperia play and the PS Vita will have access to the same store! Which means the future of the play is bright because we know as a fact that Sony will keep pushing great games for the Vita and since that's the case this means that both Sony and Sony Ericsson will keep optimising this device. While SE will keep updating the regular android software, hopefully till icecream. Sony on the other hand will keep working on bringing new games to the market + the fact that a lot of android games are being optimised for the play lately.

This device has huge potential and a brighter future. I seriously consider it one of the best android devices you could get today, it's a great package of both multimedia and gaming.

I don't regret for one second choosing the play over all these dual core phones which will be missing all the fun we play owners will have just to brag about a processor that's still not using it's full potentiol due to the lack of software support.

Cheers :D
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
Thing is due to hardware differences between the Play and the Vita we'll no doubt see games come out for the Vita that don't make it to the Play. That's what I'm a bit worried about. My point still stands that they need to get their arses into gear and release more recognisable Playstation games, and on a regular basis, for this service to have any hope of being remotely successful.

Still, a good point.
[Xperia Play General] jkr284:
id have thought the vita would also use the PSN and theres already 50 plus psone games on there for it.
[Xperia Play General] Basharca:
Only time will tell how great the PS store for the xperia play store will really be! What makes me optimistic though is that since Sony included the play with their collection ( tablets + Vita) this for me is a very good sign that they will take care of it.

Fingers crossed :D

Hi

my problem is that kies says it can not update my phone's firmware.

after searching the web,I figured out that my phone's product code must have been changed.

And I found out the product code can be changed with qualcomm tools.but I absolutely have no idea about it

Anyone can help?

best regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
If kies cannot update your phone, first point to verify is the installed csc in Pre-Configuration setting. For kies to upgrade your phone, you need to install a full firmware for your region, and select the correct csc file in Pre-Configuration (after flashing).

Product codes don't change by themselves. So if you never changed yours, maybe it shouldn't have changed by itself. But if it did, then you need to revert it back to it's original.

Caution here, the process involved in changing product is not for noobs, so be careful if you choose to do so.

There are lots of tutorials on product code change in this forum. Just need a patient search to find them.

You can as well read this tutorial from another forum. I hope it helps out.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] ekhalid:
hi all,

Yes it's possible and it's verry simple, but you need to flash your phone twice.

Here is the solution:

Flash S8500XXJID (the only one capable of changing the product code).

Change your product code #272#HHMM# >>XEF for exemple.

Flash with S8500XXJL2 or other original fw for your region.

Enjoy!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Who told you that?!!!!!

Any 1.2 FW is capable of changing the product code through the pre-config menu

the method that spacks mentioned is for the people who don't want to lose any data through flashing or pre-configuring their phones

Please dig in things more before talking about it

XXJID is not that special

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] ekhalid:
We bet it works? and this version (S8500XXJID) is special?

I don't speek english enough to answer you... Dommage..
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
oh sorry ekhalid i didn't see that was you

all respect to you for the SHP hack

but with all respect to you in this case you are wrong

i changed my product code before with S8500JPKC1 & yes it is not XXJID

i think i did more tests than you so i know this

please forgive me if you fell that i was rude :)

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] ekhalid:

I did not test with arabic FW but i'm sure that S8500XXJID change the product code whene changing region.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrr:
Hello all!

If anybody can help me with simple doubts, I'd appreciate!

1- Stock ROM: an Android stock ROM is model dependent? So if I have an Android phone and want to install the stock version I have to find a ROM compatible or even made for the phone model I have? In case of a non branded phone (those chinese), which model is likely unknown, can I flash to a stock ROM?

2- An application is refusing to download from Market, because it says incompatible device (which is surprising since I thought any app would install, since it's Android). The developers told me that probably I have a moded version of Android system and they don't support it (!). How usually applications does this checking?

As you can see, my question 2 is related to question 1. I'm wondering if I can flash my device to a stock version of Android and get this application downloaded from Market (without blocking because it's considered incompatible).

Anyway I'd like to get answer for two questions independently, if possible :)

Just an update: I have two phones. One downloads this app without problem and in Market I see Maker=- and Model=P800W. The other one (which says incompatible device) Market=- and Model=-. This might be the problem.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yes. The stock rom (or any rom) has to be made specifically for your device. If you don't know the model of your device, then find out. If you can't, then do

NOT

try to flash any rom. Your device will be bricked (if its the wrong rom).

You thought wrong. It doesn't matter that the system is android. It's the hardware and software version which matters. Many applications (like the great 3D games and powerful apps) require an armV7 instruction set processor. So if your device doesn't have this, you really can't do anything about it (legally). Applications check if they are compatible before they are installed. If they "find out" that they are not compatible, they will not install. On the the software side, many applications no longer support the older versions of android which could also cause the incompatibility.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrr:
Thank you!

Probably the biggest problem is that, for some reason, Market has no information on Maker and Model.

I just checked the model. It's a T8585. Is there anyway I can update this info on my device (maybe some variable in the system) so it will be correctly listed on Market?

The previous phone had Model listed as P800W and I had no problem to install the application.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Is your device an HTC HD2? Did a search and it's the only device shown. If it is an HD2, then just flash a new rom. That should fix it. There are system properties which can be changed, but changing them may cause your device to bootloop and you'll be in more problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrr:
It's a chinese one. Not exactly the specs of HTC HD2 (slower processor for example).

But there is a T8585 stamp on the back. If it's not the same processor, why list it as T8585... maybe the mainboard is the same? So a ROM made for HTC HD2 might work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Post some images of it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrr:
Attached.

My thoughts:

- I think this device should support the app I'm trying to install (including Skype). But, since it's showing "-" as Maker and Model on Market, some applications are blocked or don't work (because they don't validate the phone).

- T8585 means HTC HD2, right? But... some specs are different: slower CPU (mine is 416Mhz), worse camera (mine is 2MP), probably lower RAM (mine is 256mb). This way I still don't know why (or how) it's considered T8585 - maybe because the form factor or mainboard? The basic question is... what makes a phone T8585 (as we can see, not the processor). I would go with the mainboard as an anwer.

- If I find a stock ROM for this phone, probably Maker and Model would have a valid info? I think it should have at least T8585 listed as Model!

Thanks...! :)
