[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncoop:
There is a guy on the forum (allesandro?) that can unlock bootloader and sim unlock it. However sure if you go to any market in the UK they'll be someone who'll sim unlock for you. Got my o2 branded one done in York for 20 notes.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
i assumed the R800i is unlocked?, international version, maybe different in Europe, mine is unlocked.

Rooting doesnt increase/lower perfomance, other than superuser running aswell, but is a must to move and freeze the bloatware/ programs you wont use
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
According to o2 they can't unlock it and those who can do it for about 40 quid which is way too much, I've seen the website for some guy on here to unlock it and I've seen unlockthatphone.com but wondering that if by using them, it would work as both are international, I plan to buy from o2 so will be locked to o2 but want to put a t mobile Sim in, I think I got told something like this that by unlocking it, it voids the warranty? Please can someone clarify all these things
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Alejandrissimo charges circa fifteen quid, and a certain Englishman named Jinx13 in this forum can do the thing online for you at the same cost or similar. There is no dearth of options for unlocking the phone's bootloader (and Sim at the same time). You lose the warranty indeed... But the only warranty I trust is XDA.

Glad to see that. That was ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
well that saves me the trouble of starting up an online petition against it(just like the b of a b.s.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calavera-pw:
I was outraged when I read about it yesterday. Glad VZW took notice lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aiiee:
outraged? :rolleyes:

many utilities charge a fee for phone payments with no OUTRAGE, how is this possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
think about it though.. they wanted to charge you the fee just from doing a simple electronic transaction... whereas if you decided to pay with a check, the fee wouldn't apply... when it's more costly for them to accept payment via check. how the hell does that compute eh !?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Pretty close to outrage. They were charging you to pay

online

. Not to mention that they're easily the most expensive carrier already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aiiee:
I'm going to save my outrage for something not quite so trivial and childish, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
The whole thing was ridiculous glad to see they scrapped it but wouldnt surprise me if they just add it somewhere else as an LTE fee or some other jip - just a straight crooked money grab.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldenchyld21:
Good, im sure they saw the outrage over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I was ridiculous. It's good they listen to their customers. I read the FCC was planning to look into the appropriateness of the planned convenience fee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
If you pay by ACH (electronic check) you wouldn't get the fee. If I'm not mistaken, it costs them nothing to accept ACH payments, whereas the credit card companies do charge a nominal fee to process a credit or debit card payment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
What really ticked me off was that Verizon released a statement after the cancelled the fee saying "we listen to our customers." In reality, they cancelled due to the pending FCC probe into the questionable act. So basically, Verizon is trying to get credit for being the "good guys." What BS!

Crooks I tell ya!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shane_huskey:
Save your protest for an issue that hurts you and it will be too late. The idea of the $2 fee is what has caused outrage, not the actual fee itself. As a Verizon customer, you know that you are going to pay a fairly large and possibly unreasonable premium for superior service and for the company to feel that they are within lines to exploit these customers is outrageous. Limiting "unlimited data" use, charging for tethering, ridiculous fees etc. People didn't see any reason in protesting these issues because it didn't hurt them, so now when Verizon wants to do something that will hurt them, they don't have the power to stand up and rebut. Just wait and see how many people will be outraged over something as trivial and childish as losing unlimited data on plans that were grandfathered in.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rynowhi:
I have had the prime since last Tuesday and really like using it. The one thing I wish I would've known is that the metal backing definitely gets scratched. I haven't done anything outlandish with it, other than carry it in my bag (which I still can't find exactly what scratched it). When the light hits the back a certain way, it almost looks like a car that's been keyed. So my advice to everyone would be invest in some kind of pouch to travel with, or just have a towel to wrap it in if carrying it in a bag with other things.

The screen doesn't have any scratches just as an aside.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
This is why I told everyone to get a protector for the rear panel. The Skinomi will do the job. Also, to be on the safe side even with the Gorilla Glass, I'll be protecting the front. Then I can throw it in my laptop bag with no worries.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] don_cheadle:
Lol. Aluminum backing is destroying GPS & WiFi performance.. AND it gets scratched easily. ASUS is not faring to well with this design decision. Someone head is getting lopped off for this. Whoever made the final decisions on this tablet is allowing this thing to tarnish their overall reputation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Y’all are going to think I am crazy, but I have left the plastic sleeve it came in on my Prime until I can get a proper cover. It makes a perfectly suitable cover – it is clear, it adds grip, and it doesn’t get scratched.

SO – if you’ve not thrown your boxing away, using that as a cover is an option, it may be crazy but it works

I saw their CEO speak at a conference. He's an ego maniac. I'd guess he said "and it should be metal to be more stylish" and the rest as we say is history.

hello everyone i have done every step right in getting the token to unlock my bootloader but when i go to paste the token i hit enter then get a message saying its not the right length and ive double checked everything...help will be appreciated!!!
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Are you copying the proper lines like I show in my tutorial thread? You include the start and stop lines but make sure you don't copy the words bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] znc62511:
Try copy and pasting to notepad to make sure it is copying correctly, I had to copy it like 10 times basically for it to copy right.. im not sure why.
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
yes I have done everything correctly.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Did you remove the INFO at the beginning of each line?
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Well something isn't correct or it would be working. Do what he said and put it in a word pad or NotePad first. It's very temperamental and has to be aligned just like the picture or it won't work.
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
ive tried that also
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
And don't reboot the phone until you input the token at the website. Keep it hooked up and in fastboot

[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Try removing the INFO tags at the beginning of each line.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
If each device has a unique token, it would be safe to show us exactly what you are copying? Command prompt screen shot would let is see what exactly you have highlighted and what you are putting on htcdev
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
I tried that and it worked but I was using the HTC super tool and like an idiot I pressed enter before putting the unlock bin file in the folder and had to do it all over again and each time its a different token but now even deleting the info tags it doesn't work..it worked the first time so I don't know what's wrong now.

edit:worked this time but now HTC super tool says cant open or load unlock code.bin file...i just cant catch a break!!!!!!!!!

Any recommendations for earphones with mic? This is mainly to listen to music and chat on Skype or similar applications.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
I just got these for my EVO3D to use on my commutes to and from work because I was getting frustrated with blue tooth earbuds. They work great, awesome tone and base for a set of ear buds. Mic works great and everyone I call says it is way better than the blue tooths I have had in the past (everything from a $20 - 100 set).

They seal up your ears pretty good though, so awesome to block out the sounds around you but also makes you want to talk louder so that takes a little getting used to.

I have and use these:

http://www.amazon.com/Bose-TriPort-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325345884&sr=1-1

Bit pricey (Not compared to other good headphones, though), but the sound quality and mic are awesome for talking or music. That and Bose has a one-year warranty. Comes with the headphones, a leather case, 6 replacement buds, and three 3.5mm-to-2.5mm adapters. Plus they're Bose, and Bose has a pretty great track record with audio. Got mine in July and they still work awesome. 5 months is pretty much a record for my headphones, wire always gives out and the left bud fails, even though I don't listen to music especially loud, so these are pretty durable. The price is justified, but if it's too steep, the ones Indiscriminate posted look good, or get a pair from Walmart or something and that'll run you about 18ish.

Ok, i just plugged them in... and tested the mic with the sound recorder. The mic works fine, becoming default over the built in tablet mics, however, the click control (on the mic) does not work, even with the klipsch app installed.

I also noticed that the headphone plug sits out about 1mm from the jack, perhaps responsible for the not working clicker?

I was referring to the J5M JBuds higher up (sorry I should've been more specific) but hey, if it works, $99 is fine by me as long as it works decently and has some durability.

My use case is simple: turning my tablets screen off makes the mic go crazy with noise, or at least it does in TeamSpeak 3; sound recorder is too soft for me to tell for sure with my voice but I think it does as well. So I need something that I can use while the screen is off and still be able to have headphones/earbuds to listen with.
