Hi everyone.

I would like to buy ark S but I would like to know if is any option to unlock SIM lock for free.

thx for any advice.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverLo4d:
buy sim-free
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urgas:
yes this is a option but sometimes some eBay auction are for good price but different network due to I asking

I search this forum as well modaco but I didn't find any solution for free unlock.

Than probably I will go to Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 there is possibility for unlock.

But ark S looks design better for me.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus201:
There is no free option. But the prices for unlock code range from $6 to $20, so it's not too bad.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Or unlock with setools using test point which will unlock the boatloader and sim.

It is a paid for service contact jinx13.

Hi all,

I'm fairly (totally new) to the WP7 scene, I’ve been working with Android for the past few year but since I got myself a Lumia900, I start thinking about making app for it.

In short I would like to know how in C#, to Login to Rockstart Social Club website to populate my app with website data.

After manually login to the website I was able to grab the data I needed (user password to setting page) and player stats, but I don’t know who to auto-login with this information the next time I start the app (sending information to the webpage).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Federico0:
Hi, i write here for improve my knowledge about kernel featuers that i haven't find on the net or i don't understand well.

In particular I refer to the last version of Semaphore Kernel.

What is it DEEP IDLE ?

What is it TUN Module ?

What is it config.gz ?

And for this one, what happen if i check or i don't check ? :confused:

I am very confused about that stuff..

Thank you if you will help me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dustman317:
If i understanded well the deep idle is a function who put the CPU frequency at the minimal frequency to save battery.

For the TUN module... I'm not sure but I was earing that it's a virtual kernel network but it seem a bit abstract.

And for the config.gz it's an element who is used for the kernels compiling but i never used it, i can't be more precize.

This answers are maybe approximative but i wish it get you an idea of what are these elements.

I only know about deep idle which stop most of your device's functions when the screen is off and this would improve the battery life as well

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
Lasted me just abt six months of light regular use. It's still on this phone as i write and its protective capability is still almost all intact, but the plastic and silicone are both breaking down: Replacement time.

The plastic of both the inner case and the protective belt clip is somewhat brittle. The retaining tab on the belt clip that holds the phone in, snapped off after less than a month rendering the belt clip useless, as it wouldn't hold the phone anymore. The little snaps that clip the inner case halves together are beginning to go; two of them broke in the last couple weeks.

These both look to me like design issues where the characteristics of the material used weren't accounted for as well as they might've been.

The silicone is tearing in a couple places, around the volume button and one of the plastic nubbins that the belt clip tab clicks into. This last tear is progressing out to the edge of the case, another 3mm or so to go.

i liked this case; phone felt really safe with it. i liked the really tall lip around the screen that made the phone super-easy to hold, even as it made typing a bit of a challenge with the "keys" at the edge of the screen. This is a big plus as this isn't the easiest of phones to keep a safe grip on while using it.

The built-in screen protector isn't so hot as it let dirt get in at the top between it and the screen, and also doesn't contact the screen at one bottom corner so one has to press down with disproportionate effort there to get the touch to register. It's where the keypad is so slows down typing.

Overall i'm glad it's on the phone. It's big and heavy and clunky and keeps the device well protected from harm and easy to hold on to. It's also one of the costliest cases and i was hoping it'd last me at least a year: i'm a fairly careful guy too, don't beat mercilessly on my gadgets or anything.

Think i'll try the Ballistics SG case next.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
-- This tall lip is a part of the polycarbonate hard inner case and the screen protector is glued to it at the bottom. Makes for a very secure thumb hold and i expect will be one of the features of this case i'll miss.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
You know otterbox will replace it for free
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
Really?! i had no idea.

i did mail them when the belt clip holder broke but never heard back.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
... erm ... i wasn't trying to be snide-- very sorry if i gave that impression. Just meant that the possibility of getting it replaced hadn't occurred to me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
no worrys did not take it that way i went to sleep and didnt see your post go to their webpage and click on contact and email your problem they will email you back asking for a pic of the case showing the damage with the otter box symbol visable also with a piece of paper with your name address and the date this is to prove ownership and they will send a replacement also if you got it at the att store they will replace it for free up to a year

Otterbox breaking clips

I have had the same problem with with my Otterbox box case, the small clipe that hold the plastic case close keeps breaking after i have to open it up to clean my screen on my HTC vivid. Because the top is open, I'm cleaning my screen a lot.

just contact the supplier through their site and tell them what happen, and they will send you a new case for free. I'm on my second case now. it seems that they know there is a problem with those fragile snaps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] poncespr:
I ended removing the included screen protector from the otterbox and installing a cheap one from ebay. Now I don't have any dirt on the screen and it also look a lot better/clearer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] valve timing:
Yeah I contacted otterbox about replacing my case
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] valve timing:
New case is on its way
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:
Similar things are going on with my case, and I'd like to see if I can get a replacement also. What/How exactly did you go about contacting them to get them to do this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
Go to there webpage and go to customer support and email them about the problem and they will contact you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Mine lasted over a year, and that's with frequently pulling it apart to pull the battery. Now half of the plastic clips that hold it together are gone, and the rubber flap for the USB port is starting to tear, almost ripping off. If you pay attention when taking it apart, it should last way longer than a year. My only gripe is its a bit bulky, not very pocket friendly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
I'm on my 2nd Replacement case as I have broke 2 belt clips within 2 months. Otterbox has been excellent about sending a replacement in both instances. I also removed the built in screen protector and have purchased a different one from Amazon. Overall the case has been decent. Happy with it for the most part. I still am using the actual case from the original but now a couple of the tabs have broken off the polycarbonate shell. Guess I will have to switch out for one of the replacements they have sent me. Unfortunately the belt clip seems to have been the most fragile part for my experience.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] android_lover69:
Wow i haven't used my otterbox defender, cause one of the clips, of the inside broke, the screen protector is almost gone (its broking) and the outer layer of silicone doesn't like, glue? Stick to the hard case!! I'm going to contact otterbox and see what they said! Thanks guys!! :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] android_lover69:
So, last night i went to otterbox web page, i clicked on the warranty one, fill out the info and clicked submit, after that, i received a message confirming, and saying that i needed to send pics of the case showing very clear the damage, and in a paper, my name and today's date, i did, and 9 hours after that, i received and email, saying resolved issue, and a confirmation that a new blue defender have just shipped!!!!:D so happy with Otterbox!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Miniloaf:
My little tabs that snap the plastic case together are starting to bite the dust. This may seem like a dumb question, but when inquiring for a replacement do they require a receipt? I bought the case off of craigslist.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:
No receipt required. The photo with the case and your name and today's date is all the proof of ownership they need. I finally sent my info in last night, got the reply email, emailed the photos and today got the email with the Order Confirmation. The only odd thing is that I put in my PO Box as my address, but the order PDF says it's shipping via FedEx. I wonder how it will work out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] inick73376:
i have the cheapest otterbox version for my phone so when i went to fill out one to get a new one i accidentally click on Otterbox Defender so when i woke up it said photo ect... like you said I said I was like **** i'll do it later not even a couple hours later it said i got a new one being shipped out i didn't even give em a photo yet since I got the impact series :D:p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:
Did you get a shipped notification right away or was it an Order Confirmation? All I got was 2 order Confirmation with PDF attachments showing the order, said I would get another when it actually ships.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] inick73376:
Nope I called and it said it would take up to 72hours for it to ship
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:
Well, I was alerted that mine has shipped out, but tracking doesn't have much info on it yet.

Quick question to those who've received replacements. Did you get 2 separate emails with separate tracking and SO numbers? That's what's going on with me and I'm not sure if it's normal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] inick73376:
Yea Mine shipped Yesterday Also via Fedex. Yes I Got two separate Emails with SP & SO Numbers so it should be normal :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZackFearheart:
Any advice on a screen protector, Other than the one that comes with it? I've returned 2 because one of them was foggy and blotchy.. The other was broke. I hate how dust / crap gets in between the screen and protector and having to take it apart to constantly clean it.. Not to mention I lose some of the clarity with it. Is there anything else I can use ontop of my defender series (Not ontop of the stock one, but taking it out) and not have the issues with dust, dirt and losing clarity? I love my Otterbox but the screen protector is less than desirable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joseph881:
Don't know what it's specifically called, but I use the Screen Protector that the AT&T Store sold me, I bought it with my phone. I use that and just pushed out the screen protector that's in the OtterBox. Just take it off the phone, and push it in with a good amount of pressure, then clean the remaining glue on the edges of the opposite side.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] inick73376:
I feel you on that one bro idk I need anti glare screen protector I guess

Well I was just pleasantly surprised with mine arriving today. I guess it's on a case, by case basis, but they did send me two separate boxes both with cases. So I ended up getting two of them.

I'm currently running Gedemis's latest ROM and Bytecode's latest kernel. My problem is that every time I boot or reboot my Kindle Fire, a random number of apps disappear from my launcher. I noticed from the Settings >> Apps listing that apps randomly turn into com.appname, instead of just App Name which appears to be the case for all the other downloaded apps. When I reboot, a different set of apps would have disappeared. Ideas, anyone?

Tell me if I'm wrong...

but, I'm looking at the notes for installing CWM and root here using odin and it doesn't look like you need root to flash CWM via odin.

Could he/she not install CWM w/o root and then flash a non-root rom (non-existent at the moment, sure, but new CM9 is not rooted by default for security).

So, unless there is something I don't know, then is there any reason that he/she couldn't do as I described?

Honestly, I'm thinking of working on an AOSP rom w/o root for security reasons. I'll have to look into it to see if it's worth it, because, honestly, I've never done it. I mainly just want a reason to get into some C hacking.
