Got Mine from Phones4U sim free and popped a new full monty sim and getting over 10 mbs speed in areas where the signal is strong so to hell will EE and their 4G
[Nokia Lumia 920] evoga:
According to EE's twitter feed the phones will start being delivered after today which translates into no idea when they will

l be posted.

If you ring EE or tmobiles after sales they with tell you another 21 days from your confirmation date.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ajdjackson:
I ordered mine on 1st November, received an email on 7th saying that it was on its way but also mentioning that it could take up to 14 days for delivery.

Out of the blue it arrived yesterday - no email ot txt etc to say it had been dispatched. Not great but I'm happy :victory:

Now getting used to WP8 - lovely hardware and screen is superb. Just need to find apps comparable to my Android ones.

I ordered on the 30th a White Nokia 920 on a 12 month plan and still no sign of it :(
[Nokia Lumia 920] riz157:
Anyone confirm whether phones4u are selling unlocked 920. Popped into 2 different stores got 2 different answers.:eek:

Anyone bought one and tried it?
[Nokia Lumia 920] ZeroHour:
I have confirmed with several stores and heard from enough sources that the situation appears to be:

red/yellow: Locked to T-Mobile, Orange and EE also Phones4u exclusive

black: Locked to T-Mobile, Orange and EE

white: Locked to EE only

I know the white doesnt work on T-mobile etc which was confirmed on a different forum by a user testing it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chrisr27:
..Not strictly true..yes white can only be purchased on an EE contract, but works with T mobile and Orange SIM's..I know cos I have one and using T-mob SIM.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ZeroHour:
Awesome! can you go into the settings->about area and tell us what is listed under carrier?

Just want to double check its not a batch that was sent unlocked or something as everywhere else is saying t-mob wont work.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chrisr27:
yes ive checked that..carrier is listed as EE :)

the shops will say that the EE handsets will only work on EE..thats rubbish, its just their excuse for saying cant get white on tm or orange, red is this carrier etc...they all work on all 3!

hi friends.My NEO V is on 2.3.4 with software version 4.0.2.A.0.62.I unlocked bootloader and rooted my mobile successfully.I tried to flash an ics rom(xperia ultimate HD).I did flash it using aroma.When i tried to reboot phone it got struck at sony logo.I'm not able to enter recovery to restore my backup.Do i need to update my firmware version to .587 before flashing ics rom.If so how to do it?please help me..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Mate

You should have flashed an Ics fw atleast

Before flashing an Ics Rom

Anyways flash. 587 fw using flashtool

Then root it using doomLord's kit

Refer to Madfysh's thread

Also then before installing Rom

Flash a custom kernel

As in that you get cwm in built

Then do all wipes

Format system format data

Is also needed

Then install Rom

Follow instructions in Aroma!

Done
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
You need an ics kernel. You were on gb and with your new rom you are on ics.

Your bootloader is unlocked so flash a ics kernel. There a plenty to choose from. For example stock, advanced stock, suave or night elf.

Flash the kernel and your phone will boot. Look if it functions well, otherwise install the Rom again.

I cannot boot into recovery by pressing volume down button repeatedly.How to flash kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Flash kernel through fastboot mode

There's a thread in sticky section

Have a read before flashing!

Also read thread of kernel you've chosen to flash!

And to enter into fastboot mode

You've to press menu button at right side beside home key and plug usb into pc holding that button

How come it wont read my sd card on the cell..how do I save files direct to sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] skater4690:
when you go to settings storage does it show up? if so its reading it.. if not you may need to format it through the device or on the computer. if it does show in settings storage look in files under mnt\extsdcard and thats where it is..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chard87000:
When I dl how do I direct it to sd card?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] skater4690:
it should be automatically downloaded straight to it... if not go to your browser settings and change it or whatever app you are using change it there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
i dont think you can...ive tried using 3rd party browsers as well...even ones that prompt you where to save the file..and browsing the sd card isn't an option..i just download it to my download folder then move it afterwards

however obviously i havent tried them all..ive used stock, chrome and opera

I was reading through the threads and I saw people talking about their estimated time of delivery. I ordered the phone but where do you see the estimated time of delivery? I have the confirmation email saying I ordered the phone but it doesn't say the estimated time of delivery. What is the estimated time of delivery for you guys? Also, have any of you recieved a tracking number yet?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodAres:
Head here: My Orders & Settings

Or just head to the Play Store, scroll to the bottom and click the link on the left for "My Orders & Settings" and it'll show a list of all of your purchases. In the status field for the pair of Nexus 4s that I ordered (8GB at 12:05 PM EST and 16GB at 5:33 PM EST) it shows "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012" with a link to the Google Wallet receipt. From everything I've seen, most people have that same date with a few showing "Pre-ordered" and a few saying "Complete"... no one really knowing what either of those mean, exactly.

Purely speculating based on the Nexus 7 launch, I'd assume a chunk are shipped out Wednesday and the rest are shipped out Thursday. Then, depending on how close you are from the shipping facility, people will likely receive them Thursday, Friday or Monday. At least with the Nexus 7 launch it didn't seem like there was any rhyme or reason as to when people ordered and when their order shipped. Some that ordered late got their devices before those that ordered early. :rolleyes:

Maybe you are referring to the estimated delivery date that you get off of the UPS website once you get a shipping confirmation and tracking number.

so yesterday i lost my phone and i gave my imei number to the police for tracking but i'm confused if my imei number is the same or not

i have flashed many different android versions so just want to be sure if flashing changes the imei number as well :confused:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H20fluid:
IMEI stays the same regardless of firmware or ROM,once it's reported stolen I think it can be blocked rendering it a real brick.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisesgl:
Install android lost from the play store, read the instructions and try to activate it via sms, see if you can track it like that.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
The only devices that can have IMEI changes through flashing ROMs is Samsung devices. A lot of Nexus S devices had that problem.

But in short....

No your IMEI will be the same unless you illegally changed it yourself or they have. Which IMO is massively highly unlikely ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshaddy.:
wow this is good news ;) thanks to both of you and i hope i get my phone. actually there were 3 culprits and each one of them has been caught in the cctv camera's. so i wish the police catches them before they block my phone :fingers-crossed:

so another question , just curious , what of i find my phone after they have blocked the emie number ? is this reversible ?

mate how can i install the app when i don't have my phone.

ps: i had avast , and i send some messages but don't know if it really did something or not. was thinking of contacting the developer.

if someone have knowledge of avast anti-theft features , i have some queries:silly:

My Xperia Ray was also stolen on 28 th may during my exams, And I got back my phone bcoz of avast anti theft, My phone was rooted at that time, and I never tested it before, on 2nd and 3rd July I started getting msgs, from that no. Which thief was using, like location, SIM Id etc which was useful, I got 3 phone numbers.. Then I gave it to the police, they were very helpful,as I already lodged the FIR of stolen phone that day!! They found my phone on 14th July!!

If you get the phone back and it is blocked due to the fact it was reported stolen,don't worry! There is software that can reverse it, but it will only be used if you can prove the phone is definitely yours i.e receipt,box etc.Anybody caught using this software knowingly unblocking stolen phones will be heavily fined/prison,but in your case I'm sure they will be happy to.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshaddy.:
it just keeps getting better and better ;) you really made me happy. my phone was rooted and i activated the same thing in avast. but one thing. avast was present in phone memory because i made it hard reset proof via rooting but i didn't have the application installed ( i reset the software but it was present in phone memory for sure ). so does this mean avast is still activated ?

and i'm hoping the same:fingers-crossed: cheers mate.

how can i do this ? i think the phone's needs to be connected via pc to do the same or am i missing something ?

so another good news :) i have the bill and the FIR with me so if what you say is true then i should not worry.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adulmec:
You can launch an app to be installed on your phone from your googleplay. When the thief uses wi-fi or any kind of internet data the app will install itself...

NOTE! This will happen ONLY if your phone is still linked to your google account. If the thief removed your account and put his, then there is nothing you can do in that respect...

Best regards,

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calikrazd:
To bad that carriers rarely lock down reported IMEI's. Usually has to involve request by the police. They figure that as long as its an active sim in the phone, theyre making money anyways.. and we all know they love selling new phones to extend contracts (here in canada anyways). I used to work for rogers, seen it all to many times (saying they dont have the ability to ban the IMEI when the actually do). Here they reserve the capability of banning IMEI's for phones that are stolen during shipment to one of the carriers stores.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XXchocolatetouchXX:
Anyone that can provide any insight will be greatly appreciated!

So I was sitting on my couch watching TV and on my phone, transferring pics to the sdcard, and right after a file transfer it just shutoff. Went dark. I held down the power button and it vibrated, but nothing else. Same with reboot recovery (Vol up, power, home) and download (Vol down and Home). When I plug it into my comp it will vibrate about every 6 seconds or so and flash the battery charging with a loading circle and then dissapper, and then a battery charging logo with no loading circle than dissappear. By the time thats over it vibrates again.

I figured it was a soft brick, so opened odin and tried to get that to work, but there is no communication with the phone.

Does anyone know what is going on? I am pretty confused on what is happening, and any info will greatly help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
The phone went stupid i get this occasionally. With the phone unplugged, pull the battery for a few seconds. While the battery is out hold power like u want to turn it on(probably not needed but doesnt hurt). Put the battery back in and hold volume dwn, home + power but when you get the warning screen press volume down instead of up. Phone will shut off and reboot to the system.

If this works but the phone goes back into the loop rather than booting, repeat the steps but at the last part hit volume up to go into dl mode and reflash the stock rom

Well apparently my phone wasnt really broken after all. It decided to go completely dead at 18% battery. I have never heard of this before 18% battery drop... But I let it charge for some time and it started acting normal, so I turned it on and it worked fine, just had 2% battery and charging. Dont know what the cause was, but battery is doing fine today.

Is the Sound Search wiget not included with the TouchWiz version of JellyBean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
Sorry this should have been in the q&a section....
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
The main complaint about OEM-based handsets relative to the Nexus program is that our updates are delayed (significantly). However, you can reverse this and look at what we have that Nexus users don't. Touchwiz adds enhancements that you don't get on stock Android. Tile-based browser for smoother scrolling? We got it in 2.3.3, they got it in 4.0. Notification widget toggles? We got it in 2.3.3, they got it in 4.2. Enhanced touch responsiveness and overall system smoothness? Ours was better in 2.3.3, their didn't get better until 4.1. System-wide copy-paste? Sense implemented it in 2.1 and Samsung tried it to. Google didn't try it until 2.3, and didn't get it right until 3.0 (4.0 on smartphones). Also, we have expandable storage, and now the Nexus doesn't even have removable batteries. So remember folks, the grass isn't always greener. However, I did want to expand more on this. Here's some statistics;

-Apple concurrently supports three devices on OS updates (iPhone 4, 4S, and 5). They will drop the iPhone 4 just prior to iOS7, and replace it with the iPhone 5S (or whatever they call it).

-Google concurrently supports two devices. They dropped the Nexus One when the Galaxy Nexus was released. They dropped the Nexus S today when the Nexus 4 was released. You can pretty much count on the Galaxy Nexus not getting whatever version of Android releases around the time that the "Nexus 5" is released.

-The Samsung Galaxy S II was officially released on February 13, 2011. It has been out now for 21 months, and it is STILL pending an update. The Nexus S saw 2.3 --> 4.0 -->4.1, and that was it. the Galaxy S II is seeing 2.3 --> 4.0 --> 4.1. Also, Samsung hasn't yet ruled out 4.2, but I will admit that it is unlikely to come to us officially. Bottom line is that the S2 is being supported with updates up until near the release of the Galaxy S4. Two concurrent generations of software updates.

Basically, that puts it:

1. Apple

2. Google/Samsung

3. everyone else

If Android updates matter to you, you get either a Nexus (vanilla, immediate updates) or Samsung (delayed, custom updates with other hardware features). There have been a lot of people lately complaining about the pace of Samsung's updates. To those saying they'd rather have a Nexus, then good for you (sincerely). That's why we have options in Android. To those who left for Sony/Moto/HTC...either you didn't care about updates or you left for another reason. If you left for updates, we'll see you again in about 6 months :)
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
I think the biggest complaint isn't about delayed updates but holding back the source code for several parts of the S2...

And 4.1 is probably coming this month.

Edit: 4.1, not 4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gtdotcfg:
Is there any hardware difference between the Sprint and VZW iterations of the Galaxy Note 2 like there were on the S III???

The Verizon S III has a locked bootloader vs. the Sprint S III having an embedded (non-removable/replaceable) SIM card for example.
