Hi again, guys.. Next week im gonna order this little thing, i hope.. i just have one final question..

As a student of medicine, i need to take notes very often... and a friend of mine learned how to use ipad3 with bt keyboard to do such things.. the superb thing about it is.. that he can type and when he has to take a photo to illustrate his notes.. he just can, without need to quit that polaris office or whatever he uses..

is there anything like it in office 2013 for RT? Thanks for answers :)
[Microsoft Surface] AndyRathbone:
There's no way within Word to just punch a button and have a photo snapped and automatically inserted. But if you dock the Camera app next to Word, it's pretty easy to just tap the camera's screen to take a shot. Then, in Word, tap Insert > Pictures and tap the name of the picture you just snapped. That puts it into the document.

I just tried this with stock GB, AntonX Basic with a Twist kernel CWM v5.0.2.8. When I flash the unlocker it brings me through the FB splash screen to the "Press Next to continue" screen. Once I press Next, it kicks me back into CWM. I've tried this multiple times with the same result.

Hi, I need some testers for the unlocker android app I'm making.

I need people who can verify whether or not a phone has been locked/unlocked (this means that you'll need a working non-tmobile sim card)

Make sure you have a backup of /efs before you do anything else!

This was the method that worked for me after the other method gave me an error message saying" Busybox was not installed correctly......"

Done.:good:

I am running the stock firmware with a slightly modified kernel and CWM-based voodoo Lagfix Recovery v.5.0.2.7. I used an inactive AT&T sim card. My carrier is T-Mobile and it appears to

be unlocked, although I haven't yet verified it through using an active AT&T or any sim other than T-Mobile.

Thank You FB for Your Magic Again

Worked perfect on cm9 thanks for this unlock code. As a tmobile comercial plays on tv.. haha tmo. . Did you hear about the 26th of january, unlocking is illegal after that date so ive read.. hope it was false info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Yeah I heard about that Jan 26th thing too.... If its true I'm glad I used this already prior to Jan 26th. I was amazed to find that it actually works on AT&Ts 3G network. Didn't think it worked with their frequencies.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WarToilet:
AFAIK the illegal unlock thing is US only, AND only applies if you're still under contract and haven't paid your phone in full.

If your contract is over and/or you bought your phone in full, you're free to do whatever you want with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Actually, it only illegal if you purchased the phone on or after January 26th, so you can still unlock an old phone anytime you like.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Did you guys here that unlocking phones is now illegal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It's illegal if you bought the phone directly from the carrier after Jan 26, 2013
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
That is not completely true. But unless you get permission from the carrier or purchased it for full price then it can be deemed illegal. There is a lot of other variables to that also.

Having delt with best buy on several different things it will not be instant. The service will be through Greek squad which will then send it to a repair ship or Samsung.

So once I put in the non T-mobile sim card in and use the unlock code to unlock the phone, then my IMEI should be working and unlocked?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] supercho:
Yes I read that. Thanks! It just sounded too easy for the job.

Can it be a non-activated T-Mobile sim card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It has to be a non-tmobile card for the dialog asking you to input the unlock code to appear. The code isn't going to change, so just write it down and when you do have a non-tmobile sim card you can go ahead and unlock it then.

She said "we do not know which part, and the technicians did not tell us"

i asked the techs to tell me later, she said that it doesnt work like that. i either pay now or they send it back.

It says it's unlocked but it still can't get signal. Whats wrong? There is still an "x" inside in the signal bars used to be.

yeah honestly the phone has only 3 problems as far as i can see...

1. the phone gets hot (like i've gotten over 40 degrees C ) when you push the CPU

2. IT might be because its just too awesome but my battery usually lasts me about 12 hours a day (with pretty extensive use)

3. The screen isn't too good in direct sunlight. I've tried both a matte screen protector as well as a invisible shield HD. Both had there own version of glare.

other than that i can't think of a thing...
