I remember reading that ezSemc supports the Acro S as well as the S but I don't think it supports any of the other 2012 line up. Also it is quite expensive around $50, if I remember correctly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nrdl:
But is this confirmed ?

I really don't need to unlock phone to network, but I will cleary don't want to use original ROMS on my Xperia... do I have other solution ?!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] papacarla:
You should type "ezsemc" in google and you will see a site with email. So you can ask your questions to seller. He answers fast.;)

root for locked bootloaders
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] red.leader87:
This worked for me to gain root access before I unlocked bootloader however you can't flash a custom Rom or kernel. Still worth it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
Once you get root, you can install cwm and flash custom rom, but you can't flash kernel with locked bootloader like mine forever locked XS......

But I'm happy with locked bootloader, root and MooReD rom!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lunarjetman1:
Ezsemc will work but Sony's s1 signature server is offline at the mo. No one knows when it's back online. You can Google s1 signature server status.

hi, this method work on xperia p?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fareeed:
Here is the site I seen reagarding ezSEMC tool http://microunlocker.com/ Beneath, "CSCA Unlock(supports all version)" it lists the Xperia S (LT26i) and what I think is the acro S as well as a few other phones as being compatible. A few months ago in the general section here, I read a thread in which the OP said they had a docomo branded acro S, they said that they had bootloader unlock allowed:no but after having used the tool this changed to :yes. If I remember correctly, they said that this cost around $50. Hope this helps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] torquadon:
To be precise LT26 is listed, no LT26i.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fareeed:
I think it means all variants of the lt26 including the w and the i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] flinux:
I bought my third android-phone from my network carrier, what a mistake! ;)

I thought I could live without a unlocked bootloader, but I see now that I can't :P

Any updates on this matter is highly interesting! I hope I don't have to buy a new unbranded phone just to be able to unlock the bootloader.

cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lunarjetman1:
This site works but it relies on Sony s1 server being online.

On the right of this web page it tells you the status of the server

http://unlock.se/

It has been offline for a while though with rumours it's not coming back on.

Cheers,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cybermiguel:
There should be a way to "force" the bootloader to unlock, like what happened with the xperia 2011 family, which had some points to pin and unlock.

I've found some ppins near where the antenna is located in the bottom part of the phone. Maybe they are for something, though i don't know what.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smallz2k:
Give it time the phones still quite new, everyones still busy finding out what its capable of, most of the best devs are building their own roms,aswell as that weve had a jump to ICS and next JB. I think when JBs been out a few months maybe some will start looking into some kinda tool to break the lock...HINT HINT ;)

Are there good news for unlocking Xperia P?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] borchouk:
Hi

I have used mrunlock site for unlocking XPERIA P (unlocked to O2 - UK). The price was 10 pounds but they did not manage to do. They answered me:

Unlock Code Unavailable

Your order will be refunded in full under our satisfaction guarantee.

Why?

Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number (@@@@######$$$$$$%%%%%%%) is not available.

This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you accidentally entered the IMEI for a different phone.

If you would still like to unlock your handset then please try your local independent phone shop / market trader as they may be able to do this with hardware.

It is also worth testing your phone with different SIM cards to double check it is still locked as sometimes you may find it works when you do not expect it to.

Please allow between 5-7 business days for your refund to be processed in full.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bsdnix:
I bet you will love me after sharing this information with you:

(It is in Croatian language, but in short what it says - it is the response from our local service provider VIPNET, that they can change status of the phone by de-branding it free of charge...)

So if you have your phone bought in VIPNet store, and you wish to change the possibility to unlock bootloader, you need to give them your phone. They will forward it to Agramservis in Zagreb, and 2-3 weeks after they de-brand phone, you will have possibility to unlock phone.

And yes, free of charge.

Cheers.

P.S. This may apply to T-Mobile also since they probably have same repair shop contract with Agram servis Zagreb.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
Sorry for late response.

In the meantime my phone vent over three (3) major services in Agram (LCD replacement, mainboard replacement 2x, whole housing replacement), I've got debranded/unlocked phone "for free".

Thanks a lot! This answered the question!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Supamike88:
Which is better? SwiftKey 3 Beta or SwiftKey X? The beta is free and SwiftKey X is $2.99 on the Play Store
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] THEindian:
I have both and X has more options but beta has better predictive text and it looks better.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Supamike88:
The predictive text is the reason I use it. So in that case for me, their really isn't any reason to pay for the one on the Play Store
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Hinouchi:
I have X but been using Beta instead, one thing I don't like about the beta is that they took out the ? key and put it under periods key. Other then that, keyboard have been awesome, like if you type few words together without spacing, it will show up in the suggestion box and space those words out for you.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bittermormon:
I always miss typing the space in X so I really like that feature in the Beta. I got X for free from the Amazon Store, but I read that if you bought X from Google SwiftKey will give you 3 when it's out of beta.

Word of warning, if you don't want to pay, don't use the beta because you'll fall in love with it and have to buy it when it's out of beta. It won't be free forever.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Hinouchi:
good to know X is getting the upgrade when it comes out, I pay mine for $ 0.10 only when google was having a sale :) and Yea thats true hahahaha once you use it you'll fall in love with it~ but I'm sure it's worth the money, you own't regret getting it. :)

For me I always type the space, but stupid phone always go unresponsive from time to time so none of the space got inputted. :mad:
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Supamike88:
Any update on if you guys love SwiftKey or Swype more? Or perhaps another great keyboard?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bam_:
Depends on how your typing preference is, if you like swiping along the words or just like typing normally. Just get something you're comfortable with using.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Alright, now I am reposting this. I have found a new way to root the tablet (gain adb to run as root) on 1.4.2 so if anyone wants to help me with packaging it to be able to run on the system since we can't sideload (I was thinking a browser exploit or having a file hex edited to launch an intent...) so if you want to help, just comment here.

Full information, binary, and other general h4x will be released when I have everything ready.

Note: This is not just a "write to file" I'm just not giving up what I did yet :x

Tested on 8gb nook tablet.

proof:

$ echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop
echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop

Yum. Sideloading not being an option, wouldn't the browser need an exploit? Or does the android browser not operate in a sandbox?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
I just sold my HTC Rezound and got my Razr Maxx from someone locally only about 5 days ago. In short, I miss my Rezound.

Before anyone jumps down my throat, let me explain. I am basing this solely off my experience at work where I spend 40+ hours of my week. Other than that, I really like this phone and want it to work out for me.

In my office here at work, I have always had bad reception with Verizon, regardless of the phone. It's just the way that this building is and the fact that there isn't a Verizon tower close enough to get good reception. Supposedly they are going to install a Verizon tower in our parking lot, but who knows when or if that will really happen.

With that being said, my Rezound held 4G for most of the day, albeit barely. But it did for most of my day and when it dropped 4G, the transition to 3G was pretty seamless.

With my Maxx, I am having major problems holding 4G or connectivity at all several times throughout my work day. If I open the Play Store or apps like Facebook, it will say no connection even when the 4G icon is visible. Then it will turn white at times too.

To its credit, I get good reception outside of work and at home which is true for every Verizon phone that I have owned (Incredible, Thunderbolt, Charge, Rezound).

So what gives? Without going back to a Rezound, what are my other options? The Nexus is much worse in this department correct?

Any advice would help, thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mkarps:
Nexus is horrible in reception department. I know exactly what you mean with the white 4G no connection issue. I get it all the time too...even with 4G showing full bars. Also when I open the browser its just white and froze.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
So, it's not just me? LOL

It's getting pretty ridiculous. Today I can barely do anything with it at work, it's not holding much of anything.

Is this a known network issue? Because if not, I will have to dump this phone unfortunately. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Seihaku:
Yeah I don't know if it's the battery or what but 4G reception seems hit or miss on my Razr Maxx, it usually works great but in fringe areas it's shakier than I'd like.

That said, I use my office's wifi (where 4G reception sucks) and keep my phone on 3G unless I need to download things. So it isn't a huge issue.

I can't go back to a smaller battery, though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just as an update, the reception is embarrassingly bad today. I can't connect to anything data related. Connection keeps going in and out.

My Rezound would connect to everything daily. Only problem is that I don't want another Rezound lol.

Decisions, decisions....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
the nexus has horrible signal issues, don't get one. as far as the maxx and signal/4g i get 10x better signal strength than i had with my rezound or nexus. if you want, install the .209 ics leak. it gave me much better 4g reception and speeds. :D

could also be you just do not have good verizon service where you are and no phone will fix that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
I definitely don't have good Verizon service where my office is located as I said in the OP. But, even with that said, my Rezound always held a data connection, and mostly 4G at that.

I have no idea why this phone with supposed better radios can't match that. It's very, very disheartening.

I will try the ICS leak. Is the .209 one the one where you can't go back to stock if you wanted to? That might be an issue for me.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
no going back to gingerbread once you install. i dunno maybe your phone is defective? i have no data issues and hand off's are great.

My razr on rogers does the no connection thing in the play store at times also. That is running ics on 3g
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
There is none that they know of. I went into a Verizon store tonight and they installed a new sim for me.

I have had strong signal since then, but I'm not at work and I usually get good signal at home.

If I don't have good signal tomorrow at work I will just have to face the sad reality that this phone won't play nice at work. Then I will have to make a decision from there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ricky54326:
Have you tried simply turning 4G off? Basically, go to the network settings and turn it to CDMA only, instead of CDMA+LTE. 2-3 bars of 3G is better than 0-1 bars of 4G. At least while you're at work.

It happen on my atrix 2 too.

Before i was using htc hero and it held 3g in my office even it only 1 or 2 bar,but with my atrix 2 it stay on edge and sometimes no connectivity. I guess motorola has bad antenna and i'm planning to get htc rezound.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] I Am Marino:
That's the thing, Motorola is top notch with antennas, HTC is next best, as I have the Rezound, signal is great but I'm still leading towards defective unit.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Have you tried this? Should do the trick. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kojitabe:
I put 3 on my back cover,but no luck.

I keep awaiting for bootloader unlock for razr and atrix 2,maybe custom kernel will do some trick on signal to keep hold on 3g although it's only 1 or 2 bar. Because from my experience,motorola will get no connectivity when it drop to 2 or 1 bar of 3g.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
LoL. I was joking. Tell me you really didn't try that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kojitabe:
Do what? Put that sticker on my back cover? Actually i really did it,i even add a piece of aluminium foil to get more signal. LOL

Let's laugh together :D

That's is the stupid idea that i did to get the phone hold on 3g,and if you read our atrix2 forum,most of us got a bad data connectivity.

I'll wait until ics comes out,if it still have a lock bootloader or connection issue,then maybe i'll jump to another boat (no more moto,this is the last) :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
It might possibly be, but I'm not leaning towards that as I'm getting good reception and connection at home.

It's only happening at work where nobody gets good Verizon signal to begin with. Only problem is my rezound was holding enough signal and not dropping but this phone is dropping.

My conclusion so far is that the rezound holds weak signals better and the MAXX just drops them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KayIslandDrunk:
Are you using a case? The reason I ask is I have a Cruzerlite case on my RAZR and have the same issue as you while at work. It seems if my signal strength drops to -95 dbm then my 4G is extremely flaky. However, when I remove the case my signal increases to -93 dbm which seems to be the magic number to consistently hold a 4g signal.

One thing I've noticed is you can't trust the signal bars on these phones to tell you how your 4g is going to perform.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
It's funny you ask that. I also have a Cruzerlite case and yesterday was the first full day with it on. I will definitely take it off today and post my results.

Also, do we work at the same place? Lol. I usually hover around -95 dbm at work which my rezound held fine. I think the MAXX is right at the point of dropping at -95. I will see what I get today.

Thanks for the tip!
