I tried and it seems like it took me to a weird paypal site, and after purchasing the transaction isn't displayed in my Paypal history, password changed super fast after that... Not sure if I trust them.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Just an update that I've just received a code from them and it is now showing up in PayPal. I haven't tried the code yet as I'm out and don't have a micro sim with me but would still advise anyone to change there password after using the service and not to enter their phone number.

Yes, used it and it unlocked my phone. i entered my phone number so i got a text message with unlock code,

Why are you so security obsessed? it's using Paypal and your details will be safe, what's so weird about it? it's just has their logo on the payment page lol
[HTC One X] SB13X:
So this unlocks my phone and changes the cid? Allowing me to get OTA WWE updates as opposed to carrier branded crap?
[HTC One X] kuzyz:
It's the genuine ebay uk website... I dont understand what is weird about Paypal? :)
[HTC One X] Babydollll:
Only changing the CID (ie SuperCID ) changes the CID. This is a SIM UNLOCK which allows carrier locked handsets to be unlocked and used with another carrier's SIM.

What a rip off. UK users can get their phones carrier unlocked for free by their provider. O2 gave me my code with no fuss at all.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
I guess my question is: If I take the phone apart, can I get to the power button? Earlier today my phone started rebooting itself like it had been hard reset (power button for 8 seconds..) and wouldn't even make it past the "Galaxy SII" screen before it reset again. I ruled out any software problem after I got rough with the power button and it stopped. But, now when I lock or unlock my screen the power button gets stuck again and causes the endless resets. I'm wondering if I can take my phone apart and mess with the power button from the inside to maybe clear things up a little. Hope I explained that clearly enough. Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwright64:
Take it back to the sprint store and have them fix it! I bet they could fix it in no time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
Thanks but I thought of that already. I have it rooted and ROM'd and what not. Can't access ODIN or recovery because of this too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwright64:
I don't think they will care. I bet they fix it no problem

when screen is on, but lock screen still on, volume should work if a media player is going, but otherwise, the volume buttons shouldn't control ringer volume unless you unlock it first. I'm finding in my pocket or when I check time, volume is constantly changed to volume all the way down or all the way up. is there any way to hack a change in this behavior???

thanks ya'll

This is also happening to me a lot. I always keep my phone on vibrate while working. Come to find out my ringer is on full blast during a meeting after checking the time is no fun:eek:

Need mod so Volume Down does turn volume down or turn on vibrate

I hear your pain. Let's keep this thread going or make a new one for a dev to take it on.

On my OG, I used the Button Mapper app to change the Volume Down button to duplicate the Power button. Too bad it only works on Gingerbread.

Benefits of this mod being two fold:

1) To wake the device just press Volume Down. Much easier than top button.

2) When fumbling with the phone, you could not inadvertently turn the volume down and/or set it to Vibrate.

Let's hear some chatter guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
I'll take anything to quit the pocket volume changing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tazmandeux:
Wipywd: See the original article for the Evo 4G.

http://www.pocketables.com/2010/12/how-to-remap-buttons-on-your-rooted-htc-evo-4g.html

This was the best thing since sliced bread. I saw some early traffic when the Evo LTE came out with guys trying to make a setting like this. It evolved into forward and backward for audio players. Then there was this one for Viper's ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688556

Recommendation: Change the title of the thread to:

"Dev needed to mod Volume Down button to Power function".

Let's see if we can get more interest and a dev to help us out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
Not sure if a dev with this device has looked into framework-res.apk that's most likely where this modification should take place. Then again system>usr> keylayouts etc, could be the issue. Is the issue on stock? Or on all roms?

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
I think you should start a new thread to change the functionality of it, as that's probably more complex than just stopping the volume buttons while the screen is locked. the main problem is volume changed without you meaning to
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tazmandeux:
@wlpywd: Exactly. If you distill your issue down to the basics, I think we are asking almost the same thing. Let's figure this out for a dev to code. We have Sinistertensai's attention. Let's PM to work out the spec and post together.

Whatcha think wlpywd?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
like I said, I'm all for ANYTHING that will solve this without needing to flash a whole new rom.

I can't really contribute much to any development of any kind, other than wish-listing, as my Android programming skills are just barely in the realm of existing, but I'll do whatever I can!
[HTC Rezound] bukithd:
So occasionally I will try to unlock my rezound and the screen will never come on. The back light turns on but i have no UI display. I have stock GB firmware with ineffabilis 1.4 and turboprop v2 installed. I am wondering if it is a turboprop issue because Ive only had it happen in the last couple of days since I installed it.

I am ruuing and rerooting it for a current fix but I don't know if it is hardware or firm/software at this point.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I'm having that problem on CleanROM DE, no changes to the build prop. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software problem?
[HTC Rezound] bukithd:
The only way I can get it to stop is to pull the battery. It isn't overheating. The hottest mine has been in the past month is 106 F.

I'm gonna run stock for a little while to see where/when this problem occurs. Just so I can rule out custom rom issues.
[HTC Rezound] bukithd:
So I have been running stock for a few days now and this problem has vanished. It seems turboprop might have been the cause.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I flashed turboprop last night. No issues. Not on that Rom though
[HTC Rezound] lukester01:
turbo prop swap disable?

I looked in the build.prop file and do not see any lines that reference SWAP.

I have turboprop v4 installed on One XxX v3.2.1

Seems really fast and solid, but was investigating the SWAP being enabled and cannot see it or how to disable.

[tip] best way to get AT&T to give up a micro sim without asking too many questions

yeah, sorry to dedicate a whole post to this, its not such an important thing that it needs a thread of its own, but i think its something pretty important, and itll fall back to the later pages if others dont find it important enough to comment on, so i guess no worries.

if youre coming from pretty much any other phone youll have a normal SIM card. but if youre getting an SGSIII youll need a Micro SIM. now the tricky part is getting AT&T to give it up, without asking too many questions, and trying to get you to change plans (cause nobody wants to give up their $10/month unlimited data for a $30 limited, right?).

heres what worked for me

well speaking from experience, i tossed a few ideas around in my head, till i came up with one i decided to use, and without a hitch, AT&T gave up the microsim for my phone on a Media Net data plan.

1 first off, go into a store in person, dont order over the phone. AT&T call centers have a lot more pull over what goes on than an in store salesman.

AT&T authorized retailers have the least pull of all, since theyre only licensed to sell phones, they dont work for AT&T directly, and are least likely to care about corporate affairs. how can you tell the difference between a corporate store, and an authorized retailer? well authorized retailers normally dont have real display phones, but rather plastic models. however calling the AT&T store and asking them if theyre a corporate store or not will be the best and easiest way to save you a drive.

2 what i did, was explain to them that i bought a sim to micro sim adapter, so that i can more easily travel abroad, and use foreign simcards, because in japan, microsims are the new standard, and that for now i want to use get a micro sim, so i can keep my adapter inside the phone. i brought in a flip phone, and they checked the IMEI number, and gave me a brand new Micro Sim!!

its important to note theyre allowed to charge $30 dollars for a sim replacement, but if youre nice and friendly, theyll usually give it up for free, at least the times ive gone in they have.
[Galaxy S III General] KryptosXLayer2:
I guess I don't follow.... we're pre-ordered, we'll get a Micro SIM for the phone when it arrives, they're not going to let us walk out without one to use in the phone, right? Furthermore, I think you forgot a step 3, which is to activate it over the phone with Customer Care or in store once the SGSIII arrives
[Galaxy S III General] krabman:
Or you could just have a sim cutter shipped to your door for 5 bucks and not have to go out of your way at all.
[Galaxy S III General] rAmO1984:
The OP's statements were in regards to the international version, not the variants like your preorder.

I just walked in and said I want a micro sim. She asked to see my phone. She said micro sim won't work in it. I said i have this adapter. She said ok, scanned new sim, and gave it to me. I popped it in and was good to go. Ready for my S3.
[Galaxy S III General] ajftl:
Where do u live? Lol I've done this 100 times. They don't charge ****. And u don't have to say all that bs u just say I NEED A MICRO SIM CARD. Lol done. No charge. U have to go to a corporate store that's it
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Yeah, you really don't have to jump through any hoops to get a microSIM card. Just go in and tell them you need one. :)
[Galaxy S III General] rogerbacon50:
Thank you for this information. I plan to do just that to try and get a new micro sim card for my upcoming purchase of a Samsung Note 2. AT&T thinks I am using an old flip phone right now with unlimited data and I sure don't want them ot switch me over to a new plan.

Like some poeple said it may not be necessary to have a 'story' ready but thanks for providing a good one just in case.

*** IF YOU HAVEN'T ROOTED YET DON'T DELAY....TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE !!! SEE POST #2 In this thread ***

My AT&T HTC One X got the 1.85 OTA notification update. I didn't install it. I have extracted it from my Download folder for others to benefit from and uploaded it to the link below.

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/PA8D46w9HU/

The Full File name is: OTA_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_NEW_NFCPHONESTORAGE-1.73.502.1_release_263287jkmeqj8u75z409z9.zip as it was sitting in my Download folder.

I don't know how to use it. Perhaps someone else can provide further details on how to use this. Maybe start by moving this file to your Download folder and then checking for updates and it might see that the file is already there waiting in the Download folder....my guess. I'll update this post when more information is available.

I'm willing to bet this only works for those phones that are running 1.73. I started this thread because there was a lot of people on 1.73 complaining that they got the notification but that the file never downloaded for them.

EDIT:

ALTERNATIVE - HOW TO STOP THE UPDATE...to quote robertmoore208....

Thanks robertmoore208!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] galfert:
***WARNING IMPORTANT **** If you are on 1.73 and you have chosen to delay the upgrade because you don't want to lose root you can only delay like 3 times. I just delayed for the like the 3rd time having chosen 8 hour delay each time. This last time I got a warning that I would not be able to delay it after the next 8 hours and that the upgrade would install.

So if you want to keep root it has already been reported that you can install OTA RootKeeper and if you use that to backup root and then do the OTA you will be able to keep root after the OTA update.

****** SO IF YOU HAVEN'T ROOTED YET and you are on 1.73 YOU BETTER ROOT NOW !!!! Because you can't root after upgrading to 1.85 unless you took prior precautions ******

......OR MAYBE ???.....all you need to do is delete the OTA zip file from your /sdcard/download/ folder ????????

EDIT: Yes, according to robertmoore208 all you have to do is delete the file!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
What I did .... Download don't install, then use file manager or USB to remove the update from your phone .. simple as that .. no more update, no more notices
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
So with this rootkeeper i can upgrade to 1.85 and maintain my root?

Or at the very least, Will my build.prop edit for removing htclinkify be overwritten with the OTA?

Or.... You can turn off all AT&T bs and receive no updates, and never worried about forced updating crapola

Hello, first post, so I should say Hi.

I currently have two phones, Samsung Galaxy S 1 and a Samsung Galaxy S 3. Both of these phones are on Three UK, with the SGS1 being on a rolling month One Plan tarrif and the SGS3 being on a 24 month One Plan tarrif.

My problem is and this is where the question lays, my SGS3 can't access "adult material" where as my SGS1 can, it just redirects towards a Three site saying "adult content is restricted...please verify your over 18....enter credit card details". Is there a way I can change this for my SGS3 and how?

A bit of background my SGS1 is rooted and flashed to a 4.0.3 rom (myICS if I can remember rightly as I am posting on it.) and the SGS3 is all stock out of the box. I'm not to sure whether a flash for the SGS3 will do anything to improve the situation.

If any more information is needed please ask, and if this is in the wrong section then please direct me where to go.

Thanks

Stephan.
[General Questions and Answers] mikpel:
Hi, welcome aboard!

Do you mean some content in Google Play is restricted? Though that seems unlikely if you use the same google account on both phones..
[General Questions and Answers] steph1389:
No that I have found. I did a little search and it say anything which Three think is "to violent, contains nudity, or has copious amounts of bad language."

I tried changing the APN settings to match those of the SGS1 and had no luck amid also tried to use Opera over the stock browser, both suggestions from Android Forums but again no luck.
[General Questions and Answers] mikpel:
Oh sorry, didn't read your first post properly. :)

If that's the case maybe you should contact your carrier directly and ask them to remove that "child lock".
[General Questions and Answers] steph1389:
Well it turns out the APN thing worked :) after a soft reboot due to overuse if phone and a quick charge it sorted it out. Thanks for your help though :)
[HTC Incredible S] Saml01:
A few weeks ago I got my OTA ICS update from Tmous. I was pretty upset when I discovered that the voice dialer application disappeared. Started looking in the play store and you cant download it. I thought, OK, must be something new installed that integrates through the OS. I get in my car in the morning hit the talk button on my bluetooth speaker and nothing happens. Previously with voice dialer present it would ask me for a command, now it just beeps every time I push the button.

I asked HTC on their Facebook, got ignored. Googled, couldn't find much. Searched the forum; one thread in another sub forum basically said, yes its gone go get another app.

I have since installed ARHD in anticipation of a community solution.

So what happened? Why was the app removed in ICS? Why have these frackers basically undermined the primary reason why I have a handsfree device?

What phone are you using? Where are you from? How could you get OTA ICS update a few weeks back? The ICS update for IncS has just started last week but only in China.
