[HTC Titan] tai4de2:
Sure you're not confusing "unlock codes?" There are a few different kinds.

Once you enter a subsidy unlock code, it should be permanent. On the other hand, SIM PIN codes, PUKs, etc. are something that has to be entered each time you boot (or in some cases, each time you turn the screen on).
[HTC Titan] PShYCOSiC:

Any free way to do this? :/
[HTC Titan] nocloo:
Well, you can try to buy from the guy in the UK for 1.49 pounds on Ebay, or $2.44 USD. Not free, but it's cheap enough ... and it works for me (Titan II). The US sellers try to ask me $14-$20 for the same code. Don't buy from them.

Hi everyone!

Have anybody found solution of at&t lock on titan? I've bought unlock code from ebay but it works only until I reboot the phone. Some ideas?

Recently, I've bought three of HTC Titans from eBay. Seller told me that they all are unlocked. In fact, two of it was unlocked, third - not. If he unlocked two of it so thats mean that PERMANENT unlock are real. Specs of these 3 HTCs are the same (firmware, bootloader, etc)

is the widget shown below available for download on sense 2.1 on our desire (officially from htc hub) ???

if so, is it integrated with the lock screen like in sense 3.5?

has this widget been ported to any stable sense 3.0 or sense 2.1 rom with lockscreen integration????

if no, can someone please port them to any stable rom (support for data++ would be awesome) (yup - you just cant get enough)

(it would be like sense 2.1 + 3.0 + 3.5 ROM) :p ;)

it is available for sense 3.5 roms, but i find them kinda slow......

What is the difference between iPod Touch and iPhone? A $5 GSM/CDMA chip? Why $400 price difference?

Large screen Android tablets can be had for $200. Why unlocked phones are $600-800?

Sorry if it's been discussed, my search didn't find a good topic on the subject.

[General Questions and Answers] rudegyal:
Which?

They're expensive because of convenience, demand. people want it they gotta pay....
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
They are so expensive, because people buy them anyways.

Manufactors and carriers are all after our money, why should they lower the price.

Besides that some devices also have to pay back the research that went into developing them.
[General Questions and Answers] alisagarner:
Don't have any idea why unlocked phones are costlier but it you compare tablet and phone, size does matter. Smaller, faster and costier.

[General Questions and Answers] therazorboy:
well maybe unlucking phone is expensive because its not really designated in any other area than the original area, but the publisher wants to publicly sale it to other region. that can be the cause too
[General Questions and Answers] io53:
Development is expensive.
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
You buy a brand, this is why most of the time you pay double.. buy another phone with the same specs but with a non popular brand and you will pay less...

Not to mention that you are talking about Apple... :p
[General Questions and Answers] stopeject:
All your reasoning would apply for everything else electronic- TVs, MP3 or Blue Ray players, etc. Yet they all keep coming down in prices. But not the phones.
[General Questions and Answers] shloms:
Yea, good question I was wondering the same.

It really is a gigantic gap between say an Iphone and Ipod touch in terms of price, yet the hardware has very little difference.

Seems like a marketing thing, as most users will want all the goodies packed together in a small package + a phone in one device.

It's a conspiracy i tell yea ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Althestrasz:
You should see it like this. When you buy a phone, you pay for the development, the construction, the shipping, the people who check it, the people who made the software. add that up with an expensive casing (like HTC has.) and the euro's (or dollars) fly onto the price tag. With Apple, I don't know, they just rip your wallet.

Smartphones are still upcomming, with new technology added every time a new device is being developed.

Why is SSD more expensive than a normal HDD, because it's a new technology. DVD drives used to be really expensive aswell, look at them now they aren't so expensive anymore.

Anything that's new has a price, and it's your choice if you want to pay for it or not.

I hope this helps. :)
[General Questions and Answers] MarkRobert:
It's not that unbranded phones are more expensive, the price just isn't subsidised by the network operators.

Network operators sell you the handset at a loss, but tie you into a contract to recoup their initial cost. Customer inertia means there's a good chance you'll stay with them.
[General Questions and Answers] Toxina:
well they give you much more ie. i have an ace and i can do everything what i usually do on my pc... except gaming ofc.
[General Questions and Answers] michaelnv710:
Unlocked phones are not only expensive because of the demand. When you buy one on contract, you are going to end up paying over $1000 over the 2 year contract anyways. That's why they discount smartphones so much on contract, they know they will get paid back from the contract.

[General Questions and Answers] bracketologist:
I'm guessing prices don't come down on phones because carriers subsidize prices. Manufacturers know that and therefore prices will stay rather high. Having said that, development on new phone technology is going at a fast rate right now so manufacturers also are recouping those costs.
[General Questions and Answers] stopeject:
Everything else also has to be developed, designed, engineered, assembled, shipped and retailed. In fact, iPod was developed before iPhone and they mostly made of the same parts.

Also, if you look at pricing for prepaid phones, I don't think that carriers subsidize that much. Mostly they hike their prices to force us in their contracts.

A week or so ago I saw a link on one of the "deal tracking" sites, an HTC tablet was offered for the same price with no contract or service as the "discounted" price from Sprint.
[General Questions and Answers] palanku:

[General Questions and Answers] porcupineli:
Price is a very vague thing in this world...what is expensive for you is totally not for someone else. I think, if we all run for cheap stuff we will end up making low quality products, because that's where the demand is. You don't just make it and release it, you also ask good money for it, because that brings this product to a certain level of quality, high-tech etc.

I bought an ArmorSuit Military Shield from Amazon.

I feel like it works great. It takes getting used to writing on it if you wrote just straight on the glass, but once you get used to it I feel like it is a better experience. It creates just enough friction/drag when using the digitized pen that it almost feels like pen/paper. I have not found any negative effects when using the touch screen or when using the pen after installing this screen protector.

It is also awesome at reducing fingerprints on the screen. More info about it can be found in this thread on the Lenovo forums.

Cheers.

Exactly what I was thinking. I got the Ballistic case and I love it. I also got the SGP ultra oleophobic screen protector (the one for the skyrocket) and I absolutely hate it!

It attracts oil like a magnet, and the smudges make the rainbow effect, even wiping them doesn't clean it; it just moved the smudge around until I do a few passes. I even thought I installed it with the sticky side up, but no, I checked.

Anyway, rant aside, do you have any of these problems with the realook?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
I did a bad install the first time, there was lint and the SP was slightly off, I couldn't deal with it so I took it off and applied the 2nd one, and to perfection it's still on here and looks as if it isn't there.

Yes it may be bulky but it is great protection. I let my little cousin play with it, she dropped it not once, but TWICE on cobblestone, and it survived both times, no cosmetic damage on the case either. I'm gonna go back to Seidio as I need it with a holster, tired of pulling in and out of my pocket. If the Seidio holster fits the Ballistic case, I might as well keep the Ballistic on here.

Best Skins Ever are - The Best!

I just received this and applied it. 24 hours later, there are no bubbles and the view quality is perfect! One of the (many) things I appreciate about my SGS2 is its thinness. My thinking was why get a case that only takes away from that svelt feel? While it may not protect well against a drop of 6+ feet, I pay for monthly insurance for that - I know it won't get scratched up. I think it actually makes the phone better to grip with it on as well! You can't beat the price either at either $6.99 for the screen only, or $8.99 for the entire device. Highly recommended!!!

[Kindle Fire General] hachiueno:
Hello!

I just read an article on Engadget, reporting news about CyanogenMod 9 and Ice Cream Sandwich. Link (my first post, so waren't allowed to post clickable link... sorry!): engadget.com/2011/12/06/ics-based-cyanogenmod-9-its-on-track-but-not-for-everybody/

It mentions CM9 making good progress, especially for devices powered by the OMAP 4 processor. Considering the OMAP 4430 processor inside the Fire, this must be great news for future Fire ROM's? :)

Is it likely we'll see a CM9 ROM for the Fire?
[Kindle Fire General] Veritass:
Yes. If you read around a little bit you'll see this already beinging talked about
[Kindle Fire General] hachiueno:
Ok, thank you, I'll try to find some more threads about it. Those I've found so far are mostly about porting the CM7 ROM, but I guess the CM9 gets mentioned as well :)
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
CM7 has been ported, but does not have sound. The Dev. working on that did that to prove it could be done, then went directly to an ICS port. Another Dev says he has completed ICS, with aspects not working, but sucessfully booting, and will post pics and source later today. It is def. coming. I am waiting for the TWRP 2.0 before I mess with them though. I need successful recovery tools before I am willing to brick a $199 investment.
[Kindle Fire General] hachiueno:
Sounds really great! I haven't received my Kindle yet, but the idea of running ICS on it is very exciting.

Do any of you have any thoughts about the performance? I've tried some HTC Android phones earlier, and noticed a significant performance increase when I replaced the stock ROM (with Sense) with a Vanilla Gingerbread ROM. Do you believe it will be the same result here? Better performance with Vanilla ICS than with the stock ROM including Amazon's custom UI?
[Kindle Fire General] Masssy:
It indeed seems like the developers that are working on the Kindle Fire make great progress! Awesome news for me that is probably importing one to Sweden in the near future. Awesome work developers!
[Kindle Fire General] hachiueno:
Same here! Importing one to Norway, so a great part of the Kindle Fire Custom UI is more or less 'useless' for me... ICS will certainly make it a lot more versatile!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbot:
Yeah, the unlocked version will work (I have been using mine on AT&T since May). But you might want to consider returning your phone and getting a Skyrocket since it has the added benefit of LTE (the unlocked S2 only has HSDPA+). Amazon Wireless is selling them for under $200 with a new contract.

I've been shuffling through threads for the past 2 days trying to find a fix a no luck yet so i'm making my own noob post.

yesterday after flashing CM7 to my atrix, I was trying to install the Gapps package and after that install my phone wont boot past the logo screen.

Im still able to access fastboot and get into android recovery. I've tried to wipe everything and reinstall cm7 but still nothing.

i read that some people were able to get this issue resolved using command prompt and fastboot commands, but im totally lost when it comes to command prompt and couldn't get working correctly.

any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Just to be clear:

1. You successfully booted into CM7 after installing it? Then you went to install gapps and couldn't get past the boot logo?

2. Or were you trying to install gapps right after flashing CM7 (i.e. stayed in recovery and did not boot into OS)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DThimself:
i Successfully booted into cm7 then went back into recovery to install the gapps package and after that install it wouldnt boot past the logo
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Hmm, well that definitely rules out an outdated recovery, which is what usually causes people to get stuck at the bootlogo. If you can't even re-install after wiping, then I would just restore a backup and start over.

Maybe try getting a fresh download of the gapps package. You may have possibly had a corrupted download?
