VI 4.0.1 hands down!If you need a solid kernel to go with it Faux 004 is the way to go.
[HTC Sensation] demonsavatar:
For Sense-less ROM, I think Virtuous is a solid option.

ARHD with Sense removed is also a good option, but requires a bit more tinkering from my understanding.
[HTC Sensation] timmy.hd:
I've tried ExtremeSensation Prime 5 and found that to be a very stable ROM with good battery life on my XE.

Senseless and from what I can see, no major problems and almost everything is AOSP. Worth a try.

I'm back on Revolution HD for the moment as I needed to revert back to Sense for a while.

Hi Pistol - I just used this site:

http://www.remotecellunlock.com

For Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 unlock code was $8.79 !

Now lest's hope they can actually send a code in decent time. I have used them before for other phones and they were quite quick.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Wow.... unlock code received ! 35 minutes ! Punching it in now. Seems to have unlocked the phone, but I don't get a signal. :(

Could it be my Mobilicity SIM is not compatible ? Or maybe something else? Thoughts.... ideas ?
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Well as far as I know the Lumia 900 is not compatible on Mobilicity/Wind as they operate on different bands than Telus/Rogers/Bell/ATT. That's my first guess. Unless it's quad band like the Lumia 710 from Rogers but I haven't heard of that.

But thanks for the website referral!
[Nokia Lumia 900] feedmylittletroll:
funny, it won't let me buy an unlock code from that website. Doesn't give me the option to fill out a payment form
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Cellphoneunlock.net

First time using Cellphoneunlock.net

Ordered my code on April 9th (Launch day, yesterday, after I bought the phone) at around 3 P.M.

Waited a day and a couple hours before I called them to see whats up.

I called and they said I should get it in about 5 business days.

So now it's a waiting game. It seriously sucks having to look at this phone and not being able to use it.

P.S. I called At&t before using Cellphoneunlock.net to take a shot at getting a free code. They were willing to help me. Took my IMEI number and all, then put me on hold. Came back saying exactly this: "At&t is in a contract with Windows Phone which prevents us from unlocking their devices. Ever."

Try it. Maybe your carrier will go through with it. You never know. You'll have to wait until you actually have the phone though.
[Nokia Lumia 900] feedmylittletroll:
I called ATT today and they said that they don't have the unlock codes for the phone yet (which is probably bs)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
It is complete B.S.

They just don't want new flagship phones being used on other networks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Hmm..

I had similar issues unlocking my Titan as I got it right or just days before release. It took me a few days to get the unlock code as well. I recall the unlocking website saying the codes weren't available yet. I called ATT who said they couldn't help me. Then about 4 days later the unlocked emailed me saying he had new codes and wanted to try again and we unlocked it.

This may be a situation where we need to wait about a week for the codes to be released.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
Yes... it was looking promising as the bands on the Rogers Lumia 900 are the same as the Rogers Lumia 710. In fact the Lumia 900 actually has 900 listed under WCDMA/HSPA bands. Unless the label is wrong? See pic of the Lumia 900 I just bought from Rogers.....
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
You need to make sure that like the Lumia 710 it supports 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz. The 1700MHz specifically for Wind/Mobilicity. Rule of thumb is usually anything on T-Mobile works with Wind/Mobilicity, ATT is everything else.

EDIT: Just saw attached pic, didn't work for me when trying to view till now. Interesting.. Not sure in this case. Only thoughts are being LTE perhaps you require a different sum. Telus requires a newer sim than my existing one in my Titan to work on LTE. Otherwise I'm stumped.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Now that you mentioned it, when I called the Cellphoneunlock.net, the guy that I spoke to said that the Lumia's take quite some time to generate codes for. I just realized that the phone is not even 3 days old yet. So how has he unlocked it before?

I have a strong feeling I will be receiving a refund.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Yeah it's very possible.. I had a few refunds before I got my Titan code. I also had trouble unlocking a friends Lumia 710. Got a refund for no return code and I emailed asking why and he said there's no code and there never will be for the phone. But before I had my friend return their phone I tried a different unlocked site and got the code within an hour.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Interesting. What site did you use to get your Titans code? And the friends code?
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
Yes ... I'm thinking the SIM is old? Or in fact the phone is LTE in those bands, but the label is stating different.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
For my Titan I believe it was mobileincanada.

Sadly I couldn't find the receipt for the other site so I can't recall that one. What I do recall was that it allowed you to input your IMEI # before submitting and it confirmed if they actually had the code first so you're not wasting time or money to get a refund with no code.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
I see. I don't think Mobileincanada will work for my 900. It is locked to At&t and I didn't see an option for them :(

Oh well. Got my fingers crossed for a return code from Cellphoneunlock.net
[Nokia Lumia 900] trueblog:
woah .. did some one beat me ? i thought i was the first one to get this in GTA . i got this on Monday at 10:45AM lol ..

Now can everyone see the voicemail icon working ? for me its not :( .. just missed call and a txt saying there is voicemail ..
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Nissan350, please keep us posted on the unlock code.

As for trueblog's issue.. Not sure. I know on Wind they would text me everytime I had a vmail. That was an exclusive yet annoying feature with Wind. On Telus I don't get those texts.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Definitely will.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Salateen:
Any Updates on the unlock code?

Hi Nissan 350 any updates on your unlock code??

I found someone on ebay selling unlocked lumia 900; (i cant post url here but you can easily find it by searching keywords lumia 900 cyan unlocked) I sent the seller a msg and asked him if the device in a lumia 900 at&t device and also asked about the method used for unlocking? he replied back saying that it's actually an at&t lumia 900 and he did a developer unlock? I replied back asking for details; I'll post again when I get it... but if this is true it gives hope that the lumia 900 can be unlocked...
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
I am very interested in this phone and the $20 Amazon price tag makes it even more exciting but Apollo is (reportedly) just around the corner.

My question is should I wait and get Apollo or go ahead and grab this? I can't think of a good enough reason to wait ATM but I must admit that is mostly due to the fact that I can't think of any must have features Apollo would have that Mango doesn't or that the 900's Hardware wouldn't be able to handle other than screen resolution and I am certainly not waiting 6 months or better for that.

What say you?
[Nokia Lumia 900] johnnybrav0:
You know what..buy it...if you could afford it...you only live once...I bought mine off-contact. $481 w/tax.

No point waiting since we don't even know for sure when Apollo will be release...But if you want to play the waiting game...why not wait for windows phone 9 or windows phone 10....because new technology will always be out...the longer you wait...the less time you truly get to enjoy it before the next best thing hits market...

I got my Lumia 900 and enjoying it a lot...that means that when Apollo release I'll have like 6 or 7 months of joy with this phone....Of course only do this if you can afford the phone...

For a new and the top of the line Nokia phone for $481 w/tax is cheap. I bought their old Nokia 8800 for more than that...fruit for thought...
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
I appreciate your opinion. Doing some basic estimations if the price holds steady on Amazon for the next month or so I can get it for $20 as compared to a standard high end phone at $200 which is a $180 discount.

Whereas if I were to buy it unsubsidized it runs $450 and a lot of of phones run $550+ unsubsidized. Therefore the $20 does seem to be a better deal.

I don't usually play the waiting game but I was just wondering if anyone knew a groundbreaking reason I should hold off.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
Why do I need/want a dual core processor? All videos I have seen showthe Lumia performing compareably with a single core. I agree on the resolution but I'm not holding on to my focus for another 6 months(or more) for a better resolution.

I somewhat agree on the hardware specwise but the software is performing in a manner that doesn't show it as much. I just think my excitement for the 900 is higher than my excitement would be for an Apollo device. If not than I probably would be willing to drop my unsubsidized money on it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Good point. Its really easy to say, look at all the things I could do. Why not say, look at all the thing I do. The difference between the 2 is huge.

Windows Phone has only 80k apps in the marketplace. The others, hundreds of thousands. With the exception of a few notable ones, why is a weather app found in WP Marketplace not as good as one found in Android Marketplace. I guarentee you I will not scroll through 32k weather apps, to find the perfect one for me. I have my starbucks card, my facebook/twitter, my Cloud Music player, a few games I like, minus Angry Birds space. What else would I use all those apps for?

Dual/Quad core. I've not seen an Android phone, in my hands, have the battery life its expected to. Every Android I've had, plus the Razr, has failed at batterr life, for me. I never tried the MAXX. Is it the cores eating the battery? Or is it something else? Gaurentee you, Microsoft won't release the dual/quad core spec until it solves the battery life issue. Until the phone can be used, normally, for normal purposes, by normal people, non modded, a Dual or Quad core windows phone won't release. Terry Myerson is one of the more realistic GM's at Microsoft. If the phone won't last all day on a charge, then its no good. He doesn't ask if it can be fixed. He says show me it working.

Can you imagine, Angry Birds Space, in Quad Core!!!! Level 1, recharge. Level 2, Recharge.

I'm sure I do not understand the science of the Dual/Quad core. I'm sure there is a logic between all of these 'improvements', and why we need them. Someone on this forum talked about his phone in comparisons to his previous one, as a normal person should(?) think about it....

Checklist:

Does it work better than my last one> Check.

End of Checklist.
[Nokia Lumia 900] CrownSeven:
I plan on buying the white 900 when it comes out later this month. I'm going to buy it outright even though I'm due for an upgrade and save my upgrade for WP8. I'm betting the full price on a WP8 Nokia device will be higher than what the 900 is going for.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
I plan on doing something similar. I can get it for 20 on amazon with subsidized pricing so that means it is roughly 180 cheaper than a standard subsidized high end phone.

Comparing that to 450 unsubsidized to 550+ unsubsidized shows you save more money that way. Which also makes more sense because I am by convinced I'll be unequivocally upgrading

to Apollo therefore I don't want to commit my financial plns to it.

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] kenikh:
Save the money now, get the subsidized price, then decide if new WP8 hardware is worth buying off contract/unlocked. It's pretty simple, pay now or pay later and pay later is always better, especially given lack of info regarding WP8.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
$450 is a pretty good price for the phone.

With the ~$400 difference between subsidized and unsubsidized, I guess your question should be "Do I think the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized on the WP8 phone I'll want will be > or < $400?"

I just bought it outright in hopes the difference for the WP8 flagship will be >400
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
The one major downside to that plan, and the reason I won't most likely do it, is because I am preemtively locking myself into upgrading into Windows 8. Which I am nowhere near convinced that I will want to.

The focus is the first handset I have held on to long enough to reach the upgrade point. I usued to upgrade once a year or more. Stating that I could reasonably see the 900 being in that category as well and if it turns out it's not I'll pay then for unsubsidized.

Most of my research says that there is a better chance that the difference will be less than 180 which is what I am looking at here ( price of 900(20) vs the price of most high end devices (200)) Whereas most devices run roughly no more than 600 or so compared to 450 or better unsubsidized.

And furthermore the likelihood of a killer feature coming out in the next year or less is highly unlikely as far as I am concerned.

Can anyone think of a rumored feature that would be that earth shattering?
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
This is the way I'm leaning. Although I will admit I wish the White I was so looking forward to wasn't gloss. Makes it seem cheaper and more prone to scratches and smudges. But no device has ever been perfect so I suppose this is no different.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kenikh:
Earth shattering? No. But WP8 will bring a number of things up to speed like higher resolution displays, multi-core procs, etc.

The most important things will likely be in the software running on the phone. Various accounts suggest that the tight integration of services into WP7 will be on steroids in WP8. Think along the lines of Skype integrated into the dialer, perhaps even APIs that support direct integration of third party VOIP solutions, like Tango or Google Voice.

If you assume that MSFT will get it together and roll out APIs for integrating third party services into core OS functions on the scale of the Mango API release, watch out. You can really let your imagination go crazy.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
And those sound enticing but not world beaters. I feel like the core argument is similar to the current generation video game consoles; meaning that they have more power than developers know what to do with and as such will take a while to come into their own.

Thank you for your knowledge. The people here are making me feel better and better about my decision.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Either way, there's no wrong decision.

+1 to all kenikh said. Hit the nail on the head, especially the if M$ get their **** together part. That's the key here. They could hit it out of the park, or just end up with an experience that's only a minute step forward as opposed to a monumental one.

WP7 is great despite all it lacks. WP8 should address the areas where WP7 is decidedly hindered.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
Just curious what do you think it lacks? The resolution is the only thing I can think of that matters
[Nokia Lumia 900] bricky23:
All I know is that I went to an att store and played with a 900 today, and I want one bad! I have used android for years now, but wow I love that phone. And the price is great! And there will be 4G in my area next month. Need to dump my sprint contact.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Yeah resolution of course and an ecosystem (not their fault) with apps that can access core OS API. App integration into the OS has come a long way, but will mature further. More customization options couldn't hurt them either.

It'd be nice to have some real multitasking.

Other than that, it's all I can think of at the moment. Not a whole lot of stuff but just lime everything else, not only does it have to be done, it needs to be done right.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
I'd edit my last post but the app won't let me scroll to the bottom of it LOL. Lime=like.

And with things like upped resolution will be everything behind it hardware-wise.

One thing I can't get with WP7 is proper integration of outlook when your company is running exchange server 2003, almost a deal breaker for me, but I blame my company as much as I blame M$ for that.

My most important work emails arrive with no preview line or contents. Sucks sometimes.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bmc24:
I pretty much agree with all of that but not being a Machead, none of those middling features are enough to make me foam at the mouth and wait in line to get a Win8 phone. Want but don't need and not want more than my 600 dollars
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
TBH, the upped resolution (assuming it doesn't sacrifice the smoothness) and proper compatibility with my Exchange server would be enough for me to justify it.

I'm not a Machead either.

But the quality and functionality of apps should improve with WP8.... Curious how well integrated it'll get with Win8.

I can't say right now whether I'll be in line for the first flagship WP8 device. Who knows, there might be another offering at that time that I'd prefer. I'm not affixed to any certain OS family, so my opinion is subject to change as they change and the offerings evolve. I can say, though, I'm glad WP finally got a flagship quality device. I'm addicted to AMOLED but have been F'd in the A enough by Samsung that I wasn't about to buy another one of those.... Then the Lumia 900 came along. Perfect.
[HTC Sensation] Rockologist:
As the title says this is about the Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357 that's being pushed as an OTA update. So far it looks like a bug fix patch for ICS, but it also seems to be being pushed to Sensations still on GB.

After having read a couple posts on various forums and threads it seems to download and successfully install on ICS. If you're on GB it's still being pushed as an update, it'll download but fail to install, which wouldn't be surprising if you're running the wrong version of Android for it to patch.

I'd like to confirm that this is indeed the case. If you've received this OTA please respond by saying:

Which version of Android is currently on your device

Did this update installed successfully for you.

If it did install successfully please list any changes you've noticed since installing it, like the now world famous Aeroplan spelling mistake.

In my case:

unrooted S-ON Sensation, firmware 1.50.401.1

update unsuccessful
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
I'm on ICS , everything is stock , update successful.

UPDATE: It seems they fixed aeroplan and small letter personal storage spelling, still no fix for Develop option and I have no idea what was that wifi fix never had any issues

[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Update succesfull. Stock ICS 3.32.401.5, rooted, EXT4 recovery.
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
You might be unsuccesful because you have skipped a previous update.

One such could be the Twitter update, if you don't update that, you will not get the ICS update.

Brittish english = Aeroplane

[HTC Sensation] insomniac74:
This update failed - sort of - on my Sensation (Stock ICS). The update download fine, but just hung for hours on the "installing update" box, didn't even start filling the progress bar. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Rockologist:
I haven't skipped any updates, twitter or otherwise. Also according to the Play Store all my installed applications are currently up to date. A final but important detail is that I should not be getting an ICS update because I do not have ICS, not because an app or setting that this update fixes is not up to date on my GB phone.

Aeroplan is subtly different from the British English Aeroplane, you may notice the missing e at the end.
[HTC Sensation] Yogimax:
Just got the update as well on my Sensation XE which I manually flashed the OTA from March onto whilst still being S-Off.

Where are the device administrator settings - still don't think I can see them? :cool:
