I have an S3 from Rogers, can I just give them my IMEI number and ask AT&T for an unlock code if people here are getting unlock codes for non AT&T phones?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterDecker:
RESOUNDING NO.

This has been covered a few times already. This is the AT&T international representatives. You would HAVE to go to Rogers and have them unlock it.

To the OP,

MANY thanks bud. Worked flawlessly. I informed the lady I spoke with that my family and I are heading to the Philippines for a couple months vacation, and wanted to use my phone there. At first she tried to upsell me to some international plans, but I then informed her that I would be using a sim card from there, and she quickly said "Oh, ok can you give me the IMEI number please?" 45 seconds later DONE had the unlock code and was happy.

Unlocked my USA galaxy s3 US the online chat and used a relatives Verizon SIM to unlock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] astealthw:
I have an account with att and just called the normal customer service . After about 3 minutes i had my unlock code.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blively2:
Called the international number and rep said I could just use my current sim card!!! I told her that this was not the case and that if I needed to use another sim card while overseas, I wanted to be able to. She said my phone would allow for another sim without any unlock code!!! I told her that I didn't want to offend her, but that I had many friends and family travel overseas and they all needed unlock codes! She placed me on hold for a few minutes and when she same back on, she said my imei number was the actual unlock code!!!! I told her it certainly was not and again, I told her I wasn't trying to offend her, but unlock codes differ from the imei number and asked if I could simply have the unlock code....she then asks me when I'm leaving for overseas and I said one week from today, to which she suggests I take my phone to an at&t store for them to unlock it!!!! I told her no and that I didn't have the time to travel to an at&t store and could I just have the unlock code from her...she then states she can give me a website, cellhire.com so I can RENT a phone while overseas!!!!!! I said but why would I do that when I have two S3's???? Then she states their records indicate my account with at&t is under 90 days old, so I am not authorized to unlock my phone yet until after the 90 days are up...I then, unpolitely hung up on her..WTF & FML!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL. Thank God I really don't need it unlocked!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lensgrabber:
I got my unlock code from international support without any issue, however, I'm having a problem unlocking the phone. Does this work with AOKP roms or do I need the stock rom? When I try it using AOKP without a sim it only says something like mobile network not found. I don't have another micro sim to stick in the phone at the moment so I'm stuck trying to unlock without a sim.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blively2:
You have to use another carriers sim...and read thru this thread....it's all answered on the how-to...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lensgrabber:
According to AT&T you should be able to remove the sim and do the #7465625*638*unlockcode# and that is where I am having the problem. I'll dig around here and see if I can find my old tmobile sim and cut it down to size.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mellonman64:
So, can you do it with your existing AT&T sim card in the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
Call back. It took a bunch of us 2 or 3 tries.

No. It has been stated numerous times that it will not work with that code provided. You will need another sim to do it. They are a quarter on amazon.

"No service" after unlock

I got the code from the international rep and unlocked my AT&T Galaxy S III using a T-Mobile prepaid SIM. After the unlock, however, I'm faced with a problem that did not exist before the unlocking (this happens a few times a day): my AT&T SIM becomes inactive for a few minutes before becoming active again on the AT&T network (i.e., "no service," not "zero bars").

Anyone know of a fix for this issue? It looks like my phone is looking around for non-AT&T networks before locking onto AT&T. Any way to prevent this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
Check your APN and or Mobile network settings? Just a guess here...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] retyre:
Thanks for the response. Under Network operators, it says "Default setup." Under Access Point Names, "AT&T PTA" is selected. There's no non-AT&T entry anywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
Check the mobile network settings. There should be a couple of choices... Try a different one and see if it changes any of the results. Also do you have roaming on?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsanioutlawxx:
Just my two cents....

Called Att a few days ago, international number that was posted here .. She said I'm still on contact soooo that was a no go. I never tried again until last night when I was on the att website. Went on international chat, said I'm going out of country and need unlock. This was in the description only. When the rep came online, asked for last 4 of soc. Imei and bam! Unlock code within 3 minutes! No question ni bullish*t :)

Just in case anyone needs a sim, T-mobile USA is running the micro and regular sized sim activation kits for 99 cents on their web site. I just ordered a micro from them and came to $1.02 shipped.

That is the KEY to having them unlock your GSIII. How long had you have your GSIII?

I know my GSII was a year into the contract and I call them to give me an unlock code, they gave it to me right away.

I've got a micro sim from GCI Alaska, that I am willing to part with if anyone needs one. I am NOT asking for any money, all I ask is that when your done with it mail it down to the next person in need of it, and just pay the postage on down to them. I will pay the postage on to the first person, and you do the same to the next so on and so forth.

If you are interested in it, please shoot me a PM and we can go from there.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mest22:
I believe there is support for the device in its own thread...

Try checking there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bo.benson:
I acquired my unlock code to unlock when changing to ST but to my surprise upon installing the ST sim I automatically had service bars and no network lock popped up. Went into APN and changed the settings and have never had a network lock window show up. Guess this means the phone was previously unlocked:confused: Is there any way to check it since the keypad sequence does not work for the 747?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
Try a sim from a carrier that doesn't use Att towers maybe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bo.benson:
Yea I may try the wife's verizon later and see whats up. Just thought there might have been a method to check the unlock status in the phone that I wasn't finding.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minnick:
I would just like to confirm this method worked for me as well. Used the International chat link on the att site as suggested and was given my code in less than 5 minutes, no probing questions asked.

Network Unlock Unsuccessful

anybody ever got that using the code unlock?

mind you, this method didn't work either and I've done this before.

RAT_FREE_SUPPORTING ON? saw this and never seen NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
There are way too many unlock threads in the General section. In case anyone missed this, you don't have to bother dealing with unhelpful AT&T reps or pay for an unlock code.

This method, posted in the GNote II forum, also works on the AT&T S3 (probably others too, but I can confirm that it worked for me and survives flashing new roms): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34661189#post34661189 :good:

You need to be on a stock jb rom or some of the necessary menus won't be available.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RawrPeng:
Hey guys, I'm about to unlock my AT&T Galaxy S3 with this method. It seems a good portion of success comes from getting into International Live Chat and stating that you're traveling abroad and that you need your phone unlocked to use sim cards outside of the U.S.

My question is, I don't have a non-AT&T SIM card at the moment so if I contact AT&T and get the unlock code, does it have to be done right after? I might not be able to get a sim card until Monday, so is it okay if I do get the code but not actually do the process until then, or will the code not work after a certain amount of time has passed (or because the AT&T rep unauthorized it)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
Honestly there is no reason to call. Follow these directions and it works like a charm... Confirmed by me and many others:

"Just dial the following keys *#197328640#Main Menu >*[1] UMTS >*[1] Debug Screen >*[8] Phone Control >*[6] Network Lock >Options*[3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button (the left soft key on the phone) then select BACK,*now you are in [6] Network Lock*then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data*INITIALLIZ*..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy"

I have done AT&T and Tmobile phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RawrPeng:
I actually went ahead yesterday and tried owl74's method. I repeated it the process 3 times since the first time I got some "MENU NOT EXIST" prompt but still followed the overall process and wait time. The other 2 times went through with no issues, but I still would have to check with a non-AT&T sim. Just in case though, I wanted to see if I could get an unlock code from AT&T Int'l Live Chat, and I actually got one after giving them the IMEI of my Galaxy S3. I'll end up finding out when I get my new sim cards but does this mean the debug method didn't work, or is the unlock code from AT&T a different way of unlock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aztr0:
Hmm... what's wrong with spending 2-5 mins and call for the factory unlock code? I was reading through the thread about the method you had suggested and some people had network issues after that method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RawrPeng:
Yeah hence why I also went through with calling just to get the unlock code. I'm sure for those people that don't mind dealing with AT&T for like 5 min to get the code and not risk the drops in 3G/4G, that just asking for the code is fine. (Though I'm pretty sure people that just repeated the process and un-did the change made initially made the data stable again). I was able to get a code for my Galaxy S III and 3 of my other AT&T phones with Int'l Live chat easily without a hassle.

I'm just wondering if doing owl's method interferes with the normal 'insert foreign SIM card & enter unlock code' process or if anyone has some experience in this? If one tried owl's method and it somehow didn't work, would it mean that the unlock code given by AT&T might not work? (If there are people that tried owl's method to avail but ended up calling AT&T for unlock code and got unlock code to work, this would alleviate my worry)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aztr0:
Just placed the call. Process was simple and easy. Got the code and that was that. Now I wonder if it'll be the same if I called about an iPhone unlock haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsanioutlawxx:
My 2 cents, I used att international chat and got an unlock code in under literally two minutes... That was two months ago when I sold my GS3.

Today, just got two GS3z for my parents and had them unlocked... Same method and I actually gave the rep both imei's together and had codes in under a minute this time. No questions asked :)

So can anyone confirm unlocking with your AT&T Sim works per these instructions?

ATT Rep: These are with your AT&T sim card.

ATT Rep: Device Unlock Steps - AT&T SIM Card 1 Power off the device and insert an AT&T SIM card. 2 Power on the device. 3 Enter network lock string: # 7 4 6 5 6 2 5 * 6 3 8 * # followed by the unlock code. 4 The SOS key LSK on the lower-left side of the device keypad changes to OK. Select OK. 5 Display reads: Network Lock Deactivated.

ATT Rep: Also keep in mind that you only have five tries to unlock the device.

ATT Rep: If unsuccessful five times in a row, the device is permanently locked to the AT&T network.

i am from india.. just bought htc wildfire s cdma(metro pcs) . The phone worked good for few hours untill i went for the software upgrade shown on screen.... now i lost the signal after software update...What should i do .. please help??? Anybody???
[HTC Wildfire S] _hito_:
I think Loosing signals isn't matters with upgrading it because it is official upgrade from HTC, so what should you do is backup your data, power off your device, than hold volume down+power button for few seconds, the menu will appear and choose factory reset.

You can choose menu by up down volume key and to select hit power button up there.

If matter isn't solved go and claim your warranty..
[HTC Wildfire S] bondisback:
nothing happened..

I tried ..but nothing happened....what should i do??

You should now claim warranty they will handle your problem or will be give you a replacement for that one..

I watching the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=66-4uMQqerA

and I noticed that Nexus 4 looks seriously thick.. So I googled and well

133.9 x 68.70 x 9.10 mm LG Nexus 4

135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94 mm Galaxy Nexus

134.4 x 69.90 x 8.90 mm HTC One X

136.6 x 70.60 x 8.60 mm Galaxy S 3

128.8 x 58.60 x 7.60 mm iPhone 5

Seriously what were they thinking? I already find my Galaxy Nexus so thick .. this device will feel like holding a Nokia N95 or something. I was really looking forward to this one. I mean amazing phone and price ... but this seriously makes me stop and think about it again.

I think making the phone thinner is important.

What do you guys think?
[Nexus 4 General] gtalum:
Are you sure you're going to notice 0.16 mm extra thickness?
[Nexus 4 General] leventccc:
If you think this device is thick check thickness and weight of nokia lumia 920
[Nexus 4 General] PeritoX:
I told you I already feel the Galaxy Nexus is thick. I was looking forward for the next nexus becoming thinner.. 8.94 is not exactly a good thickness already
[Nexus 4 General] BennyJr:
LOL +10000
[Nexus 4 General] leventccc:
As a htc one x owner (0.04 difference) I think htc one x is very slim. Maybe its about me because after using nokia n95(+20mm) every phone feels slim to me :D
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
Then don't get it.
[Nexus 4 General] samarth1:
The added thickness is due to the integrated inductive coil for wireless charging. The Galaxy Nexus was 8.94mm with a 1750mah battery and lacked any kind of wireless charging. Are you telling me that 0.16mm is more important to you than a bigger, 2100mah battery and the ability to wirelessly charge? Seriously, when did 9.1mm become "too" thick?
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
Not to mention the back is also covered in Gorilla Glass.
[Nexus 4 General] ViperPyro:
9.10 mm thick?? With those extra 0.16 mm I could stick an ace of spades playing card on the back of my Nexus!

Oh wait, that's right, a card is 0.273mm... I suppose adding 58% of a playing card isn't all that much. ;) Chill out man.
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
While I totally agree complaining about 9.1 mm is more than asinine, it is curious that this is thicker than the Optimus G. I imagine wireless charging probably is to blame.
[Nexus 4 General] ChrisJ:
I think you need more to worry about...
[Nexus 4 General] munkustrap:
Figures are meaningless untill you feel the real thing in hand.

The S3 is wider than the 1X on paper, but easier fits in my tiny hands.

The 8X is thicker than most smartphone flagships on paper, but feels much better than most of them in hand because of its curling edges...
[Nexus 4 General] Nebucatnetzer:
GOOD!

I bought the extended battery for the Gnex and it feels so much better than with the small one. Adds a little bit weight and makes the back a bit rounder.

If the new one is like this from the beginning then even better.
[Nexus 4 General] mr2324jgf:
<insert obligatory "that's what she said" here>
[Nexus 4 General] samarth1:
There is no doubt that it is the wireless charging that is the reason for the increase in thickness. It is also partly the reason the Lumia 920 is also thicker at 10.7mm. The dazzling crystalline effect and wireless charging more than make up for the change in 8.45mm vs 9.1mm from the Optimus G to the Nexus 4.
