Dear friends, I only have one thing to ask in relation to this whole discussion. For people who signed a two-year contract with AT & T and that will necessarily fulfill the contract, what difference it makes to AT & T if the phone will be unlocked or not? The commitment already exists, the contract must be fulfilled unconditionally, then why keep the devices blocked? Sadism??
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Sounds to me like your ***** should be with the salesperson. Sales Rule #1: Tell them whatever they want to hear. And I think the phone does "work". Just not completely.

You're implying the Telco's run an illegal business and its up to us to enforce it? Pretty sure that's not what you mean, but it sure sounds like it. in the past 5 years this has received tons of scrutiny by the FCC. Any yet, the phones stay locked. That should tell you something.

I think Anymal says it with his comment about locked and unlocked. Actually, AT&T doesn't sell Unlocked phones. They sell Contract and NO Contract phones. But no matter, At&T is still AT&T
[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
This is a classic case of what happens when assumptions replace common sense. People tend to assume that buying phones off contract entitles them to remove carrier restrictions, at carrier's expense. Of course, this is a completely false assumption. Carriers are not going to stop anyone from leaving, they just won't help them to do so. You were sold AT&T phone and that is exactly what you received; no more, no less. Salesman lied? Never heard of that appening before (:silly:) but if that's the case take it up with their management.

I am still puzzeld as to what breeds these assumptions, but misinformation is so persistent that many less-educated consumers (and apparently some members) are treating it as gospel.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
Well a lot of us didn't put a deposit down when we got the phone. Mine was "free." I paid a $30 "activation fee." They can't just let you walk out the door with a $500 device for $30 and not have some controls in place. Yes they have a contract but if you break the contract what are they going to do? The only thing they can do is report you to a credit bureau and turn your account over to a collections agency. Even then in a lot of cases it's doubtful they will collect much.

If you pay full price? Well then yeah I have no idea about that. First of all very few people would do that in the United States and I can't imagine how it hurts at&t. That's what is so confusing about the deceptive sales practices and the obstinance.

I don't have any "*****" as you put it. I have no need to unlock my phone at this time. I was just debunking misinformation on the internet as a public service. "Tell them whatever they want to hear" will get you in legal trouble. I've had this routine pulled on me and the companies that did it ended up paying me THOUSANDS. The problem is there is so much misinformation out there people simply do not know how to pursue these matters.

You're implying Telcos never get sanctioned for doing illegal things?!

Actually several people physically went into at&t stores and were told that they could buy the Lumia 900 for the full price and get the phone unlocked and use it once they got back to Canada. Someone in another thread actually posted images of their unlocked at&t Lumia working with their Canadian sim once at&t provided the unlock code to them. No assumptions.

Folks it doesn't matter whether you are discussing phones or widgets. If someone tells you a device will work in a particular manner at at your home location and it doesn't they have to either refund you or make it work. I'm not sure why people are confused about this. Bizarre.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
But don't locked AT&T Lumias work on other networks? Just without LTE (and sometimes 3G) and MMS in most cases. So if I tell you, "sure, this phone will work on other networks", am I really lying. Or just not telling the truth.

AT&T pays cash for an "exclusive period" on a phone. They have every right to prevent you from doing whatever you choose with it till they say it's ok. I'm cool with that.

I purchased a Lumia 900 from AT&T and threw a att.mvno sim in it, downloaded the Nokia Network Setup app from marketplace, configured it and everything works just great... very happy
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
No man. Not sure where you got that idea. There have been numerous posts about this topic. Educate yourself.

It doesn't give them the right to lie. If the salesperson says you may pay full price for this phone and we will unlock it so you can use it in Canada in October that is perfectly fine. A bit illogical but totally legal.

BOTH. Get a dictionary.

What in God's holy name does that have to do with this thread.

Hi guys,

I wanted to buy a tablet stand for a while, but they're either bad or way too expensive, which means that if I want crap, I better do it myself.

The UPS carton from the Nexus 7 was hanging out next to my desk for weeks so I decided to just take it, cut a piece, and make it look like a stand. I did it pretty randomly and it turns out not bad at all. This definitely solves my stand issue. I'll probably improve it a little more by adding some duct tape so it can last a bit more that 2 weeks.

This will literally take 2 minute of your time if you wanna give it a try. I love it so far.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] AraDreamer:
Not bad if you don't have spare DVD cases laying around (that stand is a little more stable and longer-lasting), but edit your pictures and downsize them, they're too big for the forum!

Cool...I saw that stand at Walgreens and thought it was pretty cool. But they want over $10 for it, and I've already got a $30 stand ( bought for my old ex-Prime ) and another simple silicone stand. But the one you have does tempt me every time I see it:)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] productofusa:
Gawd I never thought i'd be shilling for gamestop but for $5 you really can't go wrong.

Sorry for the (gnex) crappy pic but you get the idea, the slots that the tablet fit into are super soft rubber (coated) and it folds completely flat.

Hi everybody,

I would like someone to help me with this problem. The thing is that my fb app shows me Lost Connection every single time I connect through the mobile network, but messages does update and I can chat. When I connect trough wifi there's no problem. The background for my case is that I bought an Xperia Play AT&T in USA but I am using it in a south america network. Also I deleted the port and proxy from my APN, because I couldn't download apps from google play neither browse from the original browser. Once I deleted the proxy and port I could browse and download from any apps except facebook. I would like to know if there's a way to fix it without adding again the port and proxy cause I won't be able to browse freely. Thanks!!

They are working for me when using a browser but if I use the forum app then it shows a null page. This maybe related to the forum apps & what they do when a person clicks on a sub forum link, I think they can't handle direct linking of sub forums.

Hey,

In order to get the best possible battery life while flashing a new rom, try the following steps:

--Put you rom in your SD card

--Go to Recovery l

--Go to Mounts and Storage

--Format sytem, then data, then cache partition

--Do wipe data factory reset (Very Very important things, it needs to re-mount your partitions after format clean! Otherwise rom won't boot at all!

--Now flash your rom

--Boot your Rom (Very important: let the rom boot completely before flash ANYTHING!!!!

Explanation: this kind of installation is the most clean installation possible. Note that "format" it's pretty different from "wipe". Wipe clean partition files, all is in your partition. Format clean all files in partition and partition files itself! That's a deeper clean, and can makes the difference.

ok. the phone will not completely boot into a rom (stock or custom). but i have wiped all data, cache, dalvik MANY times, i have flashed stock kernel and rom from samsung. this will start to load the 4G LTE boot animation and just hangs there all night. i have tried the [ROOT] VRALEC Bootchain - Allows us to Odin a custom recovery method and flashed a stock rooted rom also, just either hangs at the 4glte boot screen or just reboots over and over never getting passed the samsung logo at initial power up.

I have tried beanstown, i have tried everything i can seem to find on the forums. same 2 outcomes. I am using ODIN, and i have never had issues with this before (usually test something out every 2-3 days tops).

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noob.fl:
for first installation you must format system, data, Cache and then Remount the Partititions (in CWM under Mounts and storage)

if you are finish with instal CM9 you must remount the Partititions again and then Flash gapps

it will not work with the CM9 kernel, because the Recovery is a bit broken

my way was: flash any kernel with full working recovery (does not care witch one)

than format and install all things

and then reboot

its not needet to reflash the Kernal again because the kernel is in the CM9 Zipfile and will flash automaticly

My SD card reader seems to have stopped working today. When I reboot the phone, it states it is reading the SD card, and 1 second later it is finished. Now, I can't access any data on the SD card via system programs, music, gallery, movies, etc...

I can use ES Explorer and see and use contents on the SD card, so I don't think the SD card is corrupt. How can I check my SD card reader program and see if that is the problem? Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Edit: I am using SleeperROM 3.0.0 and the only problem I am having is the SD card reader app isn't working on boot or after unmounting/mounting the SD card. I can access all files via PC or ES Explorer.

Guys, I've noticed this going on a lot lately across several devices and different platforms of Android.

I think something might be wrong, as in some type of infected app we're all using.

I can't think of any other correlation between the many people suddenly experiencing this all at once across several different devices, many different ROMs, and completely different versions of Android.

I had a .nomedia file magically appear on the root of my internal storage on my Nexus several times today, and even after removing it my media would not be recognized at all, as well as the file would return every so often.

Someone should look into this.

I looked throughout the root directory and did not find any .media files.

Is there a way to "reinstall" the system SD Card reader app that autoruns when the phone reboots or the usb is disconnected after a file transfer?

Mine runs for only 1 second then states "media scan complete."

I am thinking my SD card reader app went bad today, if that is even a possibility. The CPU and ES Explorer recognize and play all files using non-system integrated apps (music, video, gallery being the system apps).

Also, all the apps installed to the SD Card are running fine.
