Making call., send text , .... On the phone before you buy still not enough. There are some asshole out there sell the phone;

1) then report stolen (assume they have insurance ) . Then whatever you do still meaningless.

2) they are on value plan ( they pay full price for thier phone in 20 month). Then they stop using tmobile.

=> both cases above will make tmobile lock your phone.

The most safety way to buy phone on craoglist now is have proof of purchase from the owner.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
A proof of purchase from seller on CL does not insure you won't have these fraud problems.

To OP, I would file a police report.
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
no, with proof of purchase that shows the seller is the one who bought the phone from tmobile, then you can contact tmobile so they can unlock your phone and make the seller pays for what he/she did. If you file a police report, i assume they wouldn't do anything except you have to turn in the phone you bought. There are several topics on XDA discuss about this problem and the only loser is the buyer. I'm feel sorry for OP.

P/s: nasty things like this are happening more often on Craigslist lately, this is why i won't buy phone from craigslist anymore.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
What these people are doing is buying the phone on a payment plan. Sell the phone on CL and not make the payments to Tmobile. Sometimes phone will work for a month till it get BL. There's no disputing that it was bought from Tmobile but no payment to then equal BL phone.
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
Yeah, that's the case make me pissed off. By BL a phone because some one not pay money for them, Tmobile just wastes their phone, make the buyer become such a loser and pretty angry to tmobile them-self . however, the winner is the a**hole who sold the phone...
[HTC One S] sanchitgrover:
Weirdest thing is that it can't be unlocked ?? Gosh
[HTC One S] nikzDHD:
Not sure how it works in the States but here in the UK if your phone gets blocked it'll be blocked on all UK carriers.

If you put any sim card it checks against a database and notifies that it's barred.

No way around it apart from changing IMEI which is ILLEGAL.
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
For now, carriers in US still haven't exchange their database yet , however they already set a plan to do it in near future.

sell it oversea might be your last option.
[HTC One S] ECEXCURSION:
That sucks so much!
[HTC One S] igotdez:
Just updating, I sorted solve the problem by unlocking the phone and it happens to work with my att sim but i don't know how long it will last because i remember reading a while back that att and T-Mobile are gonna merge their database together of blacklisted phones....
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
I work for T-Mobile and have never heard anything about us combining blacklists with ATT.

I'd imagine you should be fine using it unlocked on ATT for quite a while now.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
That's good to hear. How did you manage to unlock it? Using the method posted here?
[HTC One S] igotdez:
I see well hopefully not but here's where i read it http://m.tuaw.com/2012/04/10/us-carriers-agree-to-national-stolen-phone-database/
[HTC One S] TheAdictsPunk:
How would you have tried the phone if this phone requires the mini sim card?
[HTC One S] igotdez:
I have a T-Mobile micro sim card from my iPhone 4. Too bad i didn't have it available to me when i was buying the phone from the guy, so couldn't test it...
[HTC One S] igotdez:
I let my local cell phone store do it for $15 bucks. I don't know why the method here didn't work. Although i wish it did, i tried doing it with stock and custom rom didn't work for some reason. Its ok though, calls and internet is working just fine for now ;)...
[HTC One S] WiiR0cKz:
I actually bought my wifes One S on craigslist but I tested her sim card before handing the guy the $150, made two calls and txt messages.
[HTC One S] ihateusernames:
Its not a guarantee. I could sell it to you and then report it stolen or quit paying the bill the day after I sold it and you would get a not so pleasant surprise. I would think you would want to have a call with T-Mobile to ensure the phone is free and clear as you were looking to purchase.

Trying to re-lock my Rezound using fastboot. When I dbl click fastboot on PC, a black cmd window briefly flashes then disappears. help?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
fastboot is a command line app. Open a command window and type "fastboot oem lock"
[HTC Rezound] novakrj:
that's what i tried first, then got a "waiting for device" message. I figured i didn't have my phone set right? here was my process...

1. rebooted phone to hboot

2. connected to computer

3. opened command window

4. cd to the correct directory

5. typed the "fastboot oem lock" command

6. received "waiting for device" message

???
[HTC Rezound] dplane:
Make sure you go into fastboot once you're in the HBoot menu or it won't be able to communicate with the device
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
Make sure you have HTC Sync or some other Rezound-compatible drivers installed. It needs that for fastboot and adb to communicate with your phone.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
You have to be I fast boot, hboot

[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Same thing happened to me. Make sure when you plug in the usb cable, the phone connects as a disk drive, not charge only.
[HTC Rezound] Mr. Boom:
Are you trying to re lock or go S-on? I thought that flashing the command fastboot OEM lock would put S-on rather than relock.
[HTC Rezound] novakrj:
ended up i needed both bits of advice.

I hadn't reinstalled htc sync files since a pc reformat a month ago, and i needed to enter fastboot once in hboot.

thanks guys:)
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
no.

fastboot oem lock is changing hboot to relocked

s-on command is something like fastboot write secureflag3 or something- look it up don't use what i just posted. if you do go s-on make sure you just ran a RUU
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
"Fastboot OEM lock" is to lock the bootloader.

"Fastboot OEM writesecureflag3" is to go back to s-on

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
1. Reboot to fastboot.

This can be done in 3 ways:

A. from the power menu (assuming the rom has it

B. Shut down completely. Battery pull to make sure. Then hold press amd hold Vol Down, then press and hold Power and keep holding down both.

C. Use the command:

adb reboot bootloader

2. Use fastboot to relock bootloader.

[HTC Rezound] novakrj:
since last we spoke...

was able to relock

flashed the ruu to get back to stock

updated OTA to ICS

unlocked again

flashed aman ra in fastboot

rebooted

the plot thickens...

when i reboot to recovery, it reboots to android stock, not aman ra, hence, no root?

thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
just try flashing Amon Ra again
[HTC Rezound] novakrj:
should i wipe anything first?
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
No, just fastboot flash.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] novakrj:
still no go on second flash attempt. still showing android system recovery, not aman ra. tried to install su superuser in the developer menu in android system recovery to achieve root but didn't take.

thanks if anybody has any ideas. I'll just keep searching threads...i usually miss something pretty obvious.

edit: just in case this helps...

when i boot into recovery the top of the screen reads "Android system recovery"

at the bottom of the screen it says:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
Today only apparently, but a great deal

http://tech.woot.com/offers/motorola-bluetooth-keyboard

$29.99 retail $69

It has the same android keys as the bigger logitech one, but it's cheaper AND has a trackpad. I picked one up :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
Ordered one as well. The HP Touchpad keyboard is pretty functional, but the built in touchpad and android specific keys on the Motorola forced me to purchase. :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
Got mine delivered today, I like it a lot. Not as flimsy as I feared. Though it feels "cheap" compared to the Touchpad keyboard. The keys are some kind of plastic that just feels really cheap to me. Trackpad is nice, would have been awesome if it supported multitouch, but I'll take what I can get for the price. Android specific keys are a bonus. One disappointment is that the music shortcut keys don't appear to do anything when in some other apps. One the homescreen, it starts up some music. Just some rambling thoughts on the product... :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] stevvveo:
I ordered this as well. How does the track pad respond? Is it in a comfortable position to use? I'm anxiously awaiting mine. I hope I made the right choice and picked this over the HP.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mrsatan:
Damn sold out
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
Trackpad isn't bad. I don't know that I'd call it responsive. The pointer moves fairly slowly, not sure if there's a way to adjust the speed or not (should add that it's not like you have a ton of screen real estate to mouse across, so it doesn't really matter). I haven't really had much opportunity yet to mess with it.

One kind of cool thing is that opening the trackpad drawer wakes the screen up. Something does. Sometimes it wakes up when I pick it up, not sure what is triggering it.

My only real gripe so far is just the material the keys are made out of. Though, as long as I'm griping, I prefer matte plastic to glossy as well. :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
If you go into Language and Input there is an option for pointer speed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
Yeah, found the setting and made some adjustments.

It's pretty responsive, some occasional failures to respond to taps (like I have to tap again to get it to do whatever, it's pretty infrequent though).

The keyboard is nice, love the Android specific keys, kind of ambivalent about the touchpad. It's nice to have (and was a good deal), but not something I'd pay extra for. I think I'd prefer what appears to be the updated version with a pointer nub instead.

edit: Rage at my palms brushing against the touchpad, so annoying. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ScottC:
T'is back for $29:

http://www.woot.com/offers/motorola-bluetooth-keyboard-2
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
After having used it a little more extensively, I'm kind of thinking the trackpad isn't worth it. The inability to do any multitouch gestures really hold it back. I find that the trackpad doesn't really offer that much to the whole experience. Some little things that hold it back that you either can't do or I don't know how to do. :D

One example is there doesn't seem to be a way to open the notification drawer. I'll click on the status bar and it'll flash like it wants to open, but nothing happens. Same effect if you were to just tap on it with your finger. There's no click-drag thing like you'd have on a Windows laptop. For $30, the trackpad is a bonus. I wouldn't pay extra for it though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] doaneramma:
I hate that us Canucks can never get these damned deals. Grr.......
[Nexus 7 Accessories] stevvveo:
Agreed. I know now have used mine and needless to say I'm disappointed with the track pad. The keyboard is definitely justifiable for its size, build, and and shortcuts. The track pad though... Is junk. You can pull the notification bar down but to press and hold and drag seems like it would break soon. But whatever needed something because these keyboards and docks for the N7 don't seem to be rushed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Toast95135:
I got my keyboard in yesterday and have been playing with it for a while. As a keyboard it's great, it types fast and accurately and has some nice Android hotkeys. The keys feel plasticky (because they are) but they're kind of a matte finish which is grippy. The trackpad is a nice bonus, nothing amazing but it works in place of a mouse in a pinch. Unfortunately it doesn't support gestures (it says it does, but I guess its only for Motorola devices). It does have a physical click, so you can use that or a double tap and drag around in place of a swipe. Overall I like it, `it feels solid and has a nice weight plus some extra features. For the deal price it's a great keyboard, if I paid the full MSRP it would be lacking.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
LOL, there's a physical click somewhere? Can't wait to get home to see how I missed it. :D

I have yet to get that double tap and drag to work, just wasn't happening for me.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] stevvveo:
I almost missed it too. Although based on the angle I feel like I'm going to break it while pushing down to click. The click and drag is borderline impossible. I think I'm going to only use it when there's no surface for a mouse around in a real pinch.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] beardedspoooon:
What do you know, it is clicky. To be honest, I find the trackpad to be much more useful now. On a hard surface, it's just resistant enough that you won't accidently trigger it. I find myself able to drag and click fairly easily.

If only gestures worked...

So after searching for over 2 hours I am stuck! When I go to edit a contact and attempt to change the picture it defaults to a picture of my wife. I have tried using the Gallery and Root Explorer option to select and crop a pic. Once I have cropped the pic and select done, the pic changes to the one that I have for my wife.

I have tried Fixing Permissions, factory reset, cache, dalvik and still I cannot change the contact pic w/o it automatically changing to my wifes pic. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

[HTC Desire S] romassi:
Hi,

After installing official ICS Rom from RUU I just have about 33 MB Free (of 575 total MB) on my /system partition...Is it the same for you???

It seems to me that with stock GB rom there was lot of more Free space...
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
Do you mean Internal storage? Or RAM?

My DS with GB 2.3.5:

Internal storage:

454MB used / 702MB free

Total 1156 MB

RAM:

246MB used / 281MB free

Total 527 MB

Don't know where is the remaning RAM (it should be total 768 MB of RAM)
[HTC Desire S] user7167:
i got 698MB free space on internal storage,218MB free RAM after installed official ICS rom and some apps.
[HTC Desire S] romassi:
Neither RAM (which is tot 768 MB) nor /data storage partition (which is about tot 1200 MB, where system install user data and applications)...

I intended /system partition (which is a storage of about 575 MB tot, where is installed the rom with all system apps).

You can see it via recovery or installing software like titanium backup or similar....
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
OK, sure, the new update (with ICS and Sense3.6) should be larger (bigger) in size than the old one (GB, Sense 3.0).

And in any case, this will not affect your system usage and performance, because the system itself and the user cannot use this free space to install app etc...

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] centro7710:
Hello,

I have searched multiple forums for hours today and have figured out what is going on with my HTC Vivid. (It has been upgraded to AT&T Official ICS.)

It was working fine up until yesterday where it was not receiving a signal from the mobile network and the signal icon has an X through it. The SIM card is properly inserted and another SIM card has been tried as well. Looking through other threads it seems like the Radio RIL files may be missing or corrupt. The IMEI number and *#06# code does not show an IMEI number either. The baseband version says unknown. I am not sure what happened as I have never loaded any other ROM on it.

I downloaded the Official RUU ICS upgrade ROM today and tried reflashing it, with no luck.

What is interesting (and the other person who had the radio problem) is that when I left the phone sit off overnight and then turned it on in the morning, the phone connected to the mobile network and I had a signal. When I restarted the phone, hours later, the phone lost connection to the mobile network and that is when I started digging and found the problem with the baseband version being unknown.

Is there anything anyone can suggest? Can I reflash the baseband files or copy them from someone somehow using ADB? It seems like there is where my problem lays. I've searched for ways on how to downgrade from ICS to the official GB stock rom, but it doesn't seem like it can be accomplished.

(I tried downloading the Holiday Cingular version of the GB stock rom but the update failed. I read about the ICS HBOOT version being different and not allowing it.)

Thank you in advance for helping and any suggestions.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Have you gotten a new sim card yet? That needs to be your first step. My captivate did the same thing and turned out the sim went bad
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] centro7710:
Yes I have tried a different sim card. I don't believe thats the issue though being that it worked with the same sim after I let the phone sit overnight. From reading about others experience, it doesn't seem that the sim is the issue but more the baseband version and imei information missing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ayulatins:
I had a similar problem and thought I solved it, but I later realised all my "solutions" didn't bring back the network but coincided with its reappearing cos no same "solution" worked more than once.

It's a very weird problem as the network shows up once in a while and when I'm using Mobile Network for Data, my phone hangs again and the IMEI, Network, baseband disappears on reboot...till further notice. I gave up trying and concluded it's either a bad modem (hardware) or something AT&T knows about!

You can get HBOOTS for both GB and ICS via Hasoons AIO kit

Flash the HBOOT, Flash the Image from Cingular GB RUU and I wish you luck!!!
