You can say you're not a T-mobile customer but would like to use their T-mobile phone. Most reps don't really care much, they might try to sell you a contract or whatever, but in the end, they'll just give in and give you the code. Well that's how it was about a year ago. idk if it changed now.

Oh and from what I remembered it is actually much easier to get the code when you're not a customer, because if you were, they'll be asking you why do you want it unlocked and stuff (are you changing carriers) etc etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djtenox:
yeah call tmo, I was in mexico unlocking phones, just ask for the IEMI number, and within 2/3 days you get an email with the code, no charge...
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
This is the first GSM phone I have had and would like to know the benefits to unlocking the SIM card. What can I do with an unlocked SIM? I know if it's unlocked I could use any GSM carrier but what else if any thing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikemol:
It only lets you use it with other GSM carriers/providers. That's all. Nothing else.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikemol:
I called T-Mobile twice and they basically said that since I do not have an account with T-Mobile they can't give me an unlock code. They said I need to call HTC directly. When I called HTC they said that I need to call T-Mobile to get the unlock code.

That's why I would like some reports on what online unlocking services anyone used to unlock the Amaze so that people like me wouldn't get scammed by some website that only take the money and do not provide an unlock code. Also the unlock price would give an idea of what site is the cheapest of the reliable ones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
sounds like your in a Dilemma ... why didn't you just wait till the phone came out in canada... I hear it was coming to telus... Might of been easier that way
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikemol:
Usually the prices in Canada are higher than in the states buying a phone off craigslist. I bought it in Seattle for $380. Also I'm not on Telus in Canada and Telus is a CDMA provider. If they offer GSM service it would be the same as of AT&T band. I'm on Wind which operates on the same band as T-Mobile so to make sure my phone works on my carrier I bought a phone from T-Mobile.

I started this thread just to find out what online unlocking sevices are reliable and cost less so that I and other people who buy phones off eBay or craigslist could find an easy way to unlock their phones.

you can also use:

I've used it to get an unlock code for an Inspire (which I used on the Roger's network) only took 5 min's to receive the code. I'm currently waiting on a response regarding a Telus Amaze unlock code, guess it's no so fast on release day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikemol:
I found user reviews where they paid to cellunlocker.net and never got a code nor money back.

I'm going to try http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-imei-unlock.php It costs $25

EDIT: I got the phone unlocked. It took only 5 minutes and $25 to get the code

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg_gorrell:
Hey all, I have a Streak I bought last Christmas and ended up dropping and breaking the screen. It is still under warranty, aside from the sticker being missing on the one torx screw. Its still in mint condition physically with no scratches. All of a sudden the cameras quit working the other day. It wont connect to them, and I know its software and not a hardware issue caused by me repairing the screen. I cannot remember which screw had the sticker on it an would like to replace the phone through warranty. Can anyone tell me which screw the sticker was located on? Any other information would be helpful too, as in the type of sticker or diameter. I know it was pretty thin and white, as the torx driver when right through it with no effort. Or how hard are they to take off and put back on? Could I get the new phone and take it off fairly easily and throw it on the old one before I send it in?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajibcy:

Was recently trying to buy one going for newegg and all of a sudden all three colors are gone, out of stock. I've also checked other stores online and its also "sold out" or backed up on special order. Even amazon's prices for the Neo shot up almost 80-100 USDs.

I know I can still find this on ebay or if I keep searching online but I just find it very strange this happen out of the blue, last time I checked was sunday and it was fine then boom, gone. Kinda reminds me of the mini pro when it was recalled in some places, anyone know about this?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
I'm guessing the world is slowly starting to run out of them since Sony isn't producing it's 8MP sensor anymore (at least for their phone, they're now providing the sensor to the iPhone4S and obviously the Arc is still getting it) sony pretty soon you'll see 5MP Neo Vs taking over everywhere.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] archperia:
Interesting, I wonder if this is the reason why. I like the Arc but its a little too much for such a fragile looking device.

I checked through all these popular sites for me to order from in the US and they're all sold out.

Buy

TheNerds

Provantage

MobileCityOnline has all 3 colors for pre order... wth?

Newegg

I gave up looking because its either sold out (lies, a not so popular phone like this doesnt go sold out so quickly, specially not all 3 variants at the sametime) or its priced HIGHER than the Arc and they say its only a limited amount left like 2-3. The only thing that makes sense is it was pulled from online stores and Neo V will replace it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Diomorgan:
starting to be more common now in Italy, specially thanks to some offers with some carriers contracts and a €40 discounted price from winter, but it's still a too pricey phone (350-399) to tempt people. They prefer toad other $$$ and buy iphone.

No ways to find cover or accessories, no printed advertising and so on...

Luckily I bough mine in asia on June for €260 :-D

Arc was almost the same price but I was looking for fornt camera and, yes, arc looks so fragile! :-(((

[HTC Radar] azzeh3:
Today I went to T-mobile to check out the radar before making a judgment. Its beautiful in person I must say but the screen wasn't what I expected it to be.

I have a mytouch 4g with a good S-lcd and after comparing the two I found that the radar washes out just by tilting it....but straight up its just as bright and sharp....and one other thing, the colors were warm enough to make whites look yellow

Is it just the store model that's this way or is this how it is in general?...no bashing its a nice screen but I think my mytouch spoiled me lol

[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
So I've searched all over the forums about this. I'm trying to find some skins. I'd look for themes, but those aren't so ROM-independent, from what I can tell. Or maybe I just don't know.

The whole point is, I'm trying to find something skin-like to flash. Someone else asked about it a while ago, and they were told to look in the Themes and Apps section, but there is almost nothing in there. Looked on the market, found nothing.

Is there something that makes skins really hard to make? I'm hoping to find something that'll work with the Sense 3.5 ROM's I've been using. Can anybody point me in the right direction, or maybe suggest what else I might be looking for?

Sure many like the weather widget HTC, but when you purchased your phone from another brand in this case our SG ACE, we got the surprise that is not included. But now thanks to Fancy Widget Pro have an exact replica of the HTC widget.

​

1 .- Make sure you have activated the option for the apps automatically detect your location, for this must go to settings / location and security / check the option to use wireless networks.

2 .- Install the app preferably in the internal memory of the phone.

3 .- Open the Settings app and go into appearance. Style widget, select "flip clock" good and now download the HTC skin on the part of "skin the clock" is the name and H7C Clock "skin of the project," the H7C Weather, and already it will have the appearance of the HTC weather widget, then have more options to configure but I just basics and I leave that matter most.

4 .- Now add the widget and FW FW Complete forecast on your desktop.

This application also has animations as the original (HTC) as the "Clean for breezes" to show their operation is a video of my GS Ace with this widget:

http://youtu.be/l9K7A-rtnfQ​

As you can hear it also has the sound effect when it rains.

To enable the animations have to go to Menu / Fancy Widget / Advanced Settings and in the climate enable animation:

* Animation of weather forecast

* Unlock animation (When you unlock the phone to display the animation according to the state of the weather (rain, snow, nines, etc))

* Continuous Animation Unlock (When you unlock and start the animation and again lock the phone, the animation will continue, although the phone is locked, OPTIONAL)

* Enable windshiel wiper animation (when it's raining shows the windshield wipers)

* Sound Effects (when it rains simulates the sound of light rain showers as in the video)

​

If you have problems downloading the skin, I leave the folder on the SD is not to download the skin and already have the app.

1 .- Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?b17r13c4qqcbmpo

2 .- Unzip "FWP.SKINS (www.m4artyn3zk.com.ar). Zip

3 .- pass the folder "fancywidget to SD and then to Route android / data / folder stuck in here.

4 .- Start the app and follow the instructions above to get your HTC widget

[LG Optimus 2x] derbeast:
Hi all,

So I've tried lots of forums on here about how to root my LG Optimus 2x but keep running into the same problem. Here are the steps I've been following:

Remove the battery.

Plug in your USB cable to your PC.

Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.

Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)

Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.

Right click on the APX device.

Select 'Update driver software'.

Select 'Browse my computer...'.

Select 'Let me pick...'.

Select 'Have disk'.

Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\APX.

Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).

Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.

If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.

I'm on a Windows 7 32 bit PC. When I check for an APX device in the Device manager I don't see one?

I do see an unknown device but when I try to click have disk etc for this, it does not recognise the drivers I'm pointing at and does not install. Can anyone help me with this?

Many thanks,

Derek
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
What version are you on? Froyo or Gingerbread? It seems you are flashing CWM but that's a longer way to root. You could always try Super one click, which works on froyo.
[LG Optimus 2x] derbeast:
Yes, I am on 2.2. So Superoneclick is safe to use?
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Absolutely. I used it when I was on froyo. Do you have any sensitive data however on your phone? Just in case you mess up, it's always good to have a backup of it. Probably hook up your USB cable to your pc/laptop and copy/paste the files to be safe.
[LG Optimus 2x] derbeast:
Ok, thanks. So I have rooted the phone using SuperOneClick. Can you send me a link where I can find information about how to put on Gingerbread 2.3 now? Or maybe there is a better ROM I can use that that? Any advice would be appreicated.

Thanks,

Derek
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
You can try Cyanogen Mod, but that is experimental, even the RC one (Release Candidate).

You can try other leaked versions of ROMs, or you can download the latest v10L Gingerbread release. Before installing any ROM, I recommend doing a CWM or Nandroid backup.

The link to download gingerbread (it's only out in a few countries in Europe) is located in the development sub section of the LG 2x forums. However, try using the update tool and see if it tells you that you have an update.
[LG Optimus 2x] derbeast:
I seem to have a bit of a problem. I took your advice and found a forum that helped me to do a Nandroid Backup. As part of the steps it asked me to install ROM manager from the Market. I started this and chose my phone model. I started the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery’ in the ROM manager but it stopped and said a permissions error occured. Then I tried to open other programs but they wouldn't open. I tried to reboot the phone but now it just flashes on the LG logo and won't boot up. Please help me with this.
