[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Freemantig:
So I did the dumb thing and got a GN off of Cl for 100 bucks which to me was awesome but I found out that the imei was blocked. I know what ppl are going to say and I knew it was a bad idea myslef but it didn't cross my mind the whole imei thing. Now I have a perfect nexus that I can't use. Its a GSM unlocked version by the way. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not discussed here. We don't talk about dealing with blacklisted IMEI's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
1. Yup, attempt to get your money back.

2. Find out who it's blacklisted with and call them, they might actually give you some money towards a non-blacklisted one.

3. Be less then honest and use it as a glorified mp3 device.

Basically you're asking how to get a stolen phone working. How would you feel if you were the victim who had their phone stolen?

Do the right thing man. And next time, if someone is selling something way cheaper than anyone else is, that tells you you're going to lose out in the end if you get it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
+1 and this thread should be deleted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
So in order for the OP (or any of us) to avoid this in the future. What is the best way to check if an IMEI is blacklisted before obtaining the phone? Can we call any random carrier and do it, is there a website we can use, or is it just a risk we all take buying used devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
Common sense tells me that a Galaxy Nexus listed for $100 is probably stolen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
What if they list it for a regular price?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgyb:
You can call the carriers customer service prior to buying, you may need to do this for each carrier as most carriers don't share black list databases. If the seller won't give you the imei to make the calls first, or the imei they gave you doesn't match the phone, don't buy it.

Also, turn the phone in. A 100 dollar loss is better than jail time, and yes it is possible if that phone is reported stolen, and you're caught with it - chances are if you tried to activate it and found out it's black listed, your carrier knows you have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] centerwaters:
That's easy to do with a CDMA Galaxy Nexus, since there are only 2 carriers.

(Verizon and Sprint)

However, the OP bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus. Wouldn't he/she have to call

every GSM carrier around the world to verify the IMEI? Or do GSM carriers

share IMEI blacklists with each other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
If you are in the US, then it will be fairly easy in the near future:

Just tried, don't notice any major difference but I'll leave it on for a few days to see if it changes anything
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
same here. difference is negligible if any. really wanted it to work. spent like 30 minutes doing it nicely... probably got a better chance improving signal by flashing radios, which is easier too
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Antennas are tuned in length. Simply adding foil to make them longer won't necessarily improve reception... But hey, maybe you'll signal in some UFO's! :D
[HTC Sensation] bmwsensation:
I have reception without the backcase on. Prove enough for me, WiFi and gsm haha :)

Rememnber de bottom foil 2 separate parts can't touch eich other.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knigitz:
Anyone know how to carrier unlock the evo (PC36100) for use on at&t?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
You're in the Shift forum buddy
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I'll say it before you get flamed. This is the wrong section for this question. This is for the EVO Shift. But that being said, in order to Unlock the EVO4G to work on AT&T is quite a job. If it's even posiible. I do know you can use the EVO4G on Metro PCS , Boost Mobile, and several other Prepaid Carriers.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
It wouldn't work on AT&T anyways. The Evo is CDMA and ATT is GSM. Two different technologies, ie you don't have a Sim Card slot so you can't get ATT. Not would it read ATT's frequencies. So you won't find anybody that can.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Well guess you beat me to it lol
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knigitz:
Ah, sorry about posting in the wrong section. There were like 4 EVO sections to choose from. Thanks for the info, I assumed it was impossible but the amount of pay-for sites which advertise unlocking to use on other carriers did not mention it not working on AT&T. I suspected CDMA vs GSM would be an issue, but am not familiar enough with those technologies to say for sure.

Is there a free method to unlock CDMA for use on other CDMA carriers then? I assume the method would be the same between all CDMA devices.

Sprint has been unhelpful thus far.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Sprint is not going to be of any help :rolleyes: . They do not want you taking the device to another carrier. Also I'm not so sure other carriers want you bringing your own device from a different carrier onto their network. Like I stated above, the only way I'm aware of to do this is by going Prepaid. Which IMO is a PIA. As for letting someone else do the process for you. Be very weary of those offering to do it for you for money. Make sure there is some kind of guarantee. One that the device will not be damaged. Two that after the flash you will actually be able to activate the device on the Network you are supposed to be able to.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamagc:
The only way possible is to flash a new esn on the device which has legal issues. The esn is tied to the carrier on all cdma networks. This prevents you from using a vzw phone on sprint and vice versa. Sprint nor vzw will let you activate an esn not in their system.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] marose1:
I am using the Jawbone ERA BT Headset and Avery Custom Gel Earpiece with the AT&T Galaxy Note. When using the headset for phone calls, I find that the sound reception is somewhat muddy, especially on the high frequency end.

Is there anything that I can do with the Note or the Headset to improve the sound reception, especially in the high frequency range? Is there another headset that would give me stronger high frequency response?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I haven't noticed that problem, but my ERA constantly unpairs from my phone. Has from the first day I had the phone. The phone shows it as paired, but it isn't. Have to shutoff Bluetooth on the phone, shut off the ERA, start Bluetooth on the phone, restart ERA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I have the same problems. Mine regularly just disconnects as well, and then a minute later reconnects. Constantly. I've only had the thing a few months, and it's almost worthless now. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
Mine use to do that on my Dell Streak, and it does it on the Note.

Most likely, something with the ERA, not the phone itself.

My ICON did the same thing with my old HTC tilt2 also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
My ERA never did it on the Streak. The Jawbone I had before was the first generation one, but it stopped taking a charge so I was forced to "upgrade".

I even tried putting the Jawbone software on the Note and that didn't help the problem.

To the OP sorry for the partial hijack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] marose1:
Thanks for the help. Avery Sound suggested installing a Hoffman Vent in the earpiece, so I am going to try that.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
This phone is awesome but as many will agree the ICS update has many flaws. And I do not feel it is right to leave the HTC vivid in this condition. Here's why:

1) ICS has been officially updated since our 4.3 release, fixing many bugs.

2) Many games as well as other things lag a great deal and being this a high end device we should not be experiencing lag on games like gun bros, MC3 among many other games where rapid fire guns lag the device to were the game becomes unplayable.

3) All of the other bugs mentioned on other threads.

Yes I am happy we got ICS but it was a quick patched release, and the phone deserves a better more complete Rom release for those that don't root.

Please sign this petition stating any issues you are expreicing with ICS sandwhich for the HTC Vivid, so I can then send it over to A&TT and HTC tech department. Because if nothing is said the phone will be left in its current condition.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
1. One I attach exchange to the phone I can no longer install APK files, rendering humble bundles or app development ruined for me

2. Graphics are lousy for how much hardware is inside this handset, I suspect the drivers are to blame.

Now that the HTC One devices are out, I don't think that they will care, they have already moved on from the vivid.

Thankfully we have XDA :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] reckless_sk8r:
I haven't had any problems with lag. My phone is actually pretty fast thanks to WCX Rom. I haven't gotten into a lot of games, but my GTA III would slightly lag when I was on GB. Now that my phone is on ICS I can play the game with all the settings up without any lag. I might understand if you're not rooted and well, that would actually be more helpful than waiting for a petition to be approved. That is if it ever does..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I'd like to see the voice dialer replaced, the wifi bug gone, an lte toggle, crt and overscroll animations, and the sense 4 launcher. I doubt we'll ever see that from at&t or HTC but hopefully a developer on here can make that happen.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
I can't root or anything because all of the methods here require a computer which I don't have. I'm sorry but I'm really pissed because I'm on stock ics and a lot of my payed apps now lag as well as free ones. My wife's pantect burst puts my phone to shame with no lags ever. On stock my phone is crap.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Have you tried a factory reset and reinstalling? Only thing I'm experiencing lag with is several third party keyboards and that's an ics issue. All apps run fine on my phone and its fast. Overall if we just had an lte toggle I'd be happy
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
You can root without a computer. Just need a microSD.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
You haven't run into the issue yet because I thought everything was fine to, until I reached a new level in a game or so. Everything was ok until I brought a machine gun in contract killer zombies.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mike21pr:
Really? My Vivid runs so well stock that I havent bothered even to root it

I agree with MC3 lagging. Prolly Gamelofts fault since it chokes on my buddies ATT Note and Skyrocket (same SoC) but all the rest run flawlessly like Dead Space, Riptide, Nba Jam, Shadowgun, Sonic Episode 4, GTA3 etc.

Otherwise, im really happy
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
Getting a new one in the mail and I'm not upgrading it until it gets fixed. Gingerbread is a more stable all around release. Just noticed as well HTC custom swype is not on ICS. Since ill have both versions ill post a review of both.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
All I can say is gingerbread is better in so many ways. Here's my list:

1. Battery is 50% better meaning I get twice as many hours on one charge.

2. Keybroad vibration doesn't glitch out. Meaning it vibrates on every keystroke.

3.All menus are the same color, green making the phone look better.

4.Apps load and respond a lot faster.

5. I have way more ram available almost a half a gig free

6. I have a lot more system settings available.

7. Sense is better, like the news app has a lot more options.

My list can go on, the only cons are the new features ICS has but I can use third party apps for some. ICS is slower and HTC released a poor update, I over the "i got ICS hype". It sucks, I have both systems side by side and tested them all day long. Sony was right gingerbread wins hands down. Now I'm happy with my phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah but the gingerbread launcher blows. You can't customize the dock, folder support is intact but not as refined and your forced to have 7 home screens whether or not you want them or not. Course you could always just use adw
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skippyg:
I love that my phone never reboots or force closes apps, however my infuse 4g was faster in terms of touch response and battery life. Sometimes I feel like ics on the.vivid is a little slow
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
ICS was fast as hell when I first upgraded now it's gotten noticeably more laggy which is a bit odd. Maybe not laggy so much just losses smoothness at times.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dfella30:
Gingerbread to ICS felt like windows xp to vista.
