[Q] Same problem, solved, but now how can I network lock it again...

Hi All,

In short, same problem here, I used another unlock code(bought it) and now i want to network lock it again? How can I lock it?

I had very same problem of this thread, I bought phone as factory unlocked but was code unlocked(Vodafone Spain), later after updating to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1, it asked for the code again.

I raged with the problem and I rushed to buy a unlock code (8$), a bit shady, but it works fine.

Now I want to confront the shop who sold the phone lying about its lock state, and it would be convincing if i can send them the phone network locked as it was.

How can I network lock the phone again?

I have tryed inputing the code *7465625*638*# or *7465625# and similar combinations with no lock, I don't get a popup asking me for the carrier data to lock it.

I also tryed to downgrade the phone to 4.0.4, with no result and later to 4.1.1 and the same it is not asking for the unlock code...

Just an obvious clarification, I am talking about carrier network locking, not lock/unlock the bootloader.

Thanxs a lot in advance

Google is selling these phones for $350 ? Why would you pay more and not get it from the source, just curious. Not trying to be argumentative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Maybe they're not in the US or purchased them more than 2-3 months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andres.e:
The point is that google does not sell them worldwide, they don't sell them in my country (Spain), or at least not 3 months ago when I bought mine. And if they would sell them it would be more like 400€ minimum (equivalent to 500$ moreless)

But lets not lose the focus, of the question, any idea of how to network lock the phone again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] todditedude:
I had let my nexus update to 4.1.1 before realising I had a sim unlock problem here, the guide above was spot on, if you are on 4.0.4. I just couldnt get the last bit done on JellyBean, so went back to google image 4.0.4 and it work flawlessly :)

Phone updated to JB an hour ago, and its still working sweet :D

WHILE DRIVING w/ ext BT GPS configued as Source GPS on CM10 Preview w/ ext bt option

...11 out of 12 birds locked and accuracy down to 11ft...

The moment you turn on, it can lock 6+ satellites almost immediately

EVEN ON AIRPLANE MODE (where almost everything is shutdown including DATA except for GPS & BT)

, it still saw 10 out of 12 birds with similar locking and was still able to navigate w/ ext bt gps

Hello everybody,

I have an Ainol Novo 7 Fire Tablet with the feiyu 1031 rom , and I just installed Sygic Maps on it yesterday, I also downloaded the bluetooth gps app by googoo android and when I connected my external bluetooth gps ,I got a lock on my position within seconds. My problem is that when I open Sygic maps, I get the error " Inaccurate Signal for Car Navigation" even though the bluetooth gps app shows me all the available satellites , I have enabled mock location in my setting also but still have no luck in sygic catching the gps signal

Any help or advice would be sincerely appreciated

Thanks

@prakash, i have ainol novo 7 fire tab with 4.0.4 version i would suggest you to install gps test and see if the app on your tab show the gps status as On in green color and also shows the gps coordinates. one thing i had to do with my tab is downloaded build prop editor app from appstore and edit the gps.enable propery from false to true (requires root access, and my ainol tab had default root access).

remember the ainol tab does not have a build in gps chip which is why you need to turn the above prop to true.

i am successfully using the below combination for my my ainol fire tab

nokia phone with built in gps. using extgp app from nokia to transmit gps coordinates over bluetooth. on my tab using gps bluetooth mouse and i now have gps location shown on google maps, navigator etc.

hope this helps.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all the great info.

I have a Novo8 Discover with 4.1.1 trying to connect to a Samsun Captivate via bluetooth. I have tried all the fixes above except couldn`t find gps enable property so i changed gpswithwifi from 1 to 0. This allowed GPS Mouse to show connected but says unable to compute gps data. Also have GPS NMEA Sender installed on phone but on trying to connect says java.io IOError. Seems that I am close but am still doing something wrong. I have tried all sorts of things and spent a lot of time on this.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,

Robin

I use a Nokia LD3W with my Vibrant and it works fantastic. I use it while racing my motorcycle and the data refresh rate is so much higher and accurate than the internal, it works excellent.
[Vibrant General] robe55:
Thanks for the reply.

My Discover doesn't have internal GPS so there is a bit of trickery involved to make it work. How is your battery life?

Truth is I bought the wrong tablet for my intended application. The company I bought it from said it had GPS and I took their word for it.

Haven't had time to mess with it lately but will keep you posted when I do get it running.

GPS problems

Hi everyone,

I realize the I don't have the time or skill to make this work.

I have an External GSP model BU-353 w/USB. I have ordered a female USB to male Micro USB.

I hope to make this work on my Novo8 Discover.

First, is it possible to make this into an accurate, reliable GPS?

Second, how much would it cost to have some pro help to make this work?

Thank you and regards,

Robin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liwhitehat:
Hi ppl,

Just got an s3, and I'm having a problem with BT performance. I have 2 old headsets, a proplantronics, and a jabra bt350. When paired with my old TP2, ALL audio came through the headset; handset didn't ring, custom ringtones came through the headset, and navigation directions came through the headset. With the s3, handset rings (get a generic ringtone on headset), and navigation directions are on the handset. S-voice works on the headset. What I want this thing to do is output audio the same way the headphones do, but I don't like dealing with wires! That's the POINT of BT. Any suggestions?

Thnx

no, don't really care to listen to music through these BT headsets. :) I do not want the handset to ring when BT is connected, and I want navigation instructions over the headset as well. Old TP2, with same headsets had no problem doing either.

Im sorry, but your phone is hard bricked. You should have searched before installing a dangerous app like that, lots of people lost their devices because of this.

The only solution is go to service center and play dumb
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] domcale:
Did you read the warning thread here in generel section on XDA? Ofcourse you didn't!

I don't know how people are so free to do something they don't know a single thing about.

Only Samsung service center can repair it now.

Hello,

I would like to share an idea about preventing more hardbricks just by having the CWM recovery show the state ot the MMC_ERASE_FLAG and to warn about it before any wipe action OR to forbid the use of wipe commands if it detects an insane ship.

That would protect 99.9% of S2 users while waiting for a definitive fix.

I hope this idea reaches one of the devs of CWM ... ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TonyBigs:
Has anyone attempted to mod the Note to allow for the hot swap of microsd cards and not require removal of the battery? I suspect the modification would involve either some slight filing of battery casing and some of the microsd holder OR use a smaller battery and fabricate a device to allow for the battery to connect.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ACHILLES R32:
Im using a otterbox commuter case got it on amazon for $22, it adds a bit of bulk (not much) looks and feels great and just the right amount of protection. Like it so much ordered a second one. It does collect a bit of lint but not to much. For my screen protector right know I'm using some cheap screen protector i got from ebay (usa seller, 6 for $1.75) the fit is good but the screen protectors scratch like crazy(within 1 day i had scratches on the protector, just from wiping the screen with a wet wipe). So yesterday i ordered some Clarivue screen protectors, they are really good quality and not to hard to install. Had some on my g2, best screen protectors imo.

if You cheat on money or on energy on a next app startup You will get 0 instead of the last amount, so keep that in mind. You can only build buildings and upgrades and expansion for "stolen" money. if You earn money with unlimited energy, they stay in your pocket.

alrighty guys, i spent the whole day testing these batteries, if you find my post helpful please click the thanks button

first off this is a test to see how the battery does under max load, max setting and max capability condition. so before you say "O i can last 4 hours screen on time with my stock" well you dint test it like i did, my testing are as follow

-Brightness were on 100% the whole time

-stability test were run at 1.78ghz clock

-tune in radio were running and streaming 192kbp music

-navigation were on

-wifi were turned on but not use

-bluetooth were on but not use

-phone were put in the same spot throughout the test (signal vary from place to place so in order to eliminate that i put it at the exact same spot)

-all batteries have been condition as per factory instruction.

_________________________________________________________________________

Stock battery (control)

_________________________________________________________________________

Anker battery

-result were very good, the anker does last longer than stock. Thanks laptopmate.us for providing me the battery to test, however i will not be using this since the Hyperion is more suited for my need

effective Mah: 2200-2300

____________________________________________________________________________

Hyperion Battery

this thing is a beast, it could easily get another hour more than the stock (notice i stopped at 5%)

-effective Mah: ROUGHLY 2900-3000

_____________________________________________________________________________

if anyone would like me to conduct testing on their battery please contact me via PM thanks.
