[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguy2luk4:
Hi,

I got my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL from the US on the Black Friday Sale.

One of my friend got it for me from the US.

I preferred TF300TL because I wanted to use the Pad on the go with 3G.

There is one big problem which I am facing now.

The tablet won't take any other Sim Card apart from the one which came with it (An AT&T Sim Card).

It would ask for a "Sim Unlock Code" when some other Sim is inserted.

The AT&T Sim would register with one of my Domestic Service Providers on International Roaming mode.

There is also an application installed AT&T Communication Manager or something.

Can anyone of you help me around this problem.

Is there a way to unlock the Sim and use any other sim card.

Will rooting and removing the AT&T application help??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I can't answer your question. I have a suggestion not to delete the AT&T Communication Manager if you don't get another sim to work you are stuck. If you were rooted you could freeze the app and later unfreeze if needed. I use rom toolbox pro but it and anything that will delete or freeze needs root.

Maybe someone else can help with your current problem.

Good Luck!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiffTranny:
If you bought the device outright, and didn't get one subsidized with a service contract, all you have to do is call up AT&T's customer service and they will give you the unlock code :) . Might have to call more than one to get someone that is competent, but trust me, it can be done :)

Sim Unlock for tf300t

I 've just received a USA virgin of Asus tf300t with AT&T utility. Unfortunately i live outside the states and in a bad need to connect through another sim card. I unlocked and rooted my device. I don't have the AT &T utility now , but still can't search any APN it gives me error when i do search for networks Automatically or manually. PLZ, can any one help in installing a new utility or fix for that problem??
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopyII:
I will assume that you have either the TF300TG or TF300 TL versions and NOT the WiFi only version (TF300T)

If your device is SIM unlocked go to the google play store and pay $1.39 for "APN Manager Pro" It will let you select or configure for almost any carrier's APN settings.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussie88:
Hey. Just wondering if anyone has solved how to get the TF300TL sim unlocked. I bought it outright from B&H and I tried calling up at&t multiple times for an unlock code, but every time they say there is no unlock code available.

Finally managed to speak with a supervisor who told me that this tablet is at&t exclusive and there is no way to get it unlocked even if I paid full price for it.

Anyone else have this issue or have a way for me to unlock it?

Just to clarify, I'm looking to sim unlock for use with a different carrier, not unlock the bootloader.

Thanks

I would be willing to grab a hex dump of some of my files. If someone here has the skills they could compare my files to other people's locked TF300TL's and possibly come up with an editing solution.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szulco:
I'm willing to do that too but... AFAIK info about simlock is locked somewhere on not accessible memory. Since asus did the tricky job with update preventing to do any nvflash backup etc. 'hidden' memory is no longer accessible... Correct me if i'm wrong.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopyII:
Oh okay. I didn't know that. Samsung conveniently leaves it in a folder that you can edit/replace files to unlock most GSM Galaxy tabs with.

AT&T Provided Unlock Code (?!)

Please provide detailed description of how you accomplished that ! I've tried phoning them multiple times, escalated a couple levels and was told that 'the manufacturer' couldn't provide them the unlock code for my IMEI. I tried contacting Asus and was told I needed to go through AT&T.

Thanks,

Steven.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juostaus:
Submitted and unlock form, they said no. I called them and said...

1) I'm recording this call

2) (got employee info)

3) cited court order that they must unlock devices that meet the criteria

4) explained that asus has given them the unlock codes and said I had a call recording of asus saying this.

5) explained that I would call every 3 days until they unlocked it

on my 4th call they said it would be unlocked. Received MSG from okcqsubun@att.com with unlock code.

[HTC One S] arnold1997:
Ok so I am about to trade my One S for a Gnex. And i want to know what are the pros and cons of this. And I want know if it is a good deal. I want to know what you guys think. :D
[HTC One S] arnold1997:
I also want to know if I even should trade it
[HTC One S] ipit:
only if yo want a larger screen or NFC. Other than that One S trumps Gnex in every other way. Far better performance (S4).
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Not only bigger screen but much better as well. I have both phones and my One S just sits in my drawer. Performance isn't "far" better. Development for the Gnex is far better and JellyBean 4.2.1 is just now taking off and it is sweet! I love everything about my GNex have no complaints, can't say the same for the One S I have many complaints.
[HTC One S] DangerPanda:
Just came to One S from a Gnex.

I liked the better build quality and speed of One S. The JB interface is smoother, but in terms of raw power, speed for opening apps, the One S is better. Also liked the camera on One S more.

Browsing websites were much more comfortable on the Gnex due to the higher resolution.

If you like to constantly flash different roms and use the newest features, the Gnex is better at that.

Personally, I wouldn't go for the Gnex now. At least go for the N4.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
Camera and S4 performance (battery life as well) is much better on the One S. if you are trading in an S3 version version of the one S then its a good deal.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
As I posted in another thread here the other day:

The galaxy nexus display is nice, definitely sharper/clearer than the S, however, IMO it is too dull for SAMOLED panel, the one S is the best when it comes to calibration for colour settings, whites are the best I have seen on a SAMOLED screen, view ability in sunshine is far better from my usage with both. The display isn't "much" bigger due to the on screen buttons, iirc the height is pretty much the same but the galaxy nexus is a bit wider.

Advantages of the GN over the 1S:

- far better NLED

- nexus device so will get updates fast and quick

- much better and bigger developing community

- NFC

Advantages of the 1S over the GN:

- far better audio quality

- camera is far better overall

- better build and perceived quality

- much better battery life

- much better performance overall due to having one of the best CPU chipsets there is (also don't forget that we haven't got JB yet, so when we get that, the speed and smoothness will increase again)

Software skins and design/looks is personal preference.
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
One S is better overall

Count me as a soon to be former Galaxy Nexus owner in favor of the One S.

I was concerned about the lower resolution but I held both phones side by side and for me there isn't much to choose one over the other, screen wise, even for reading text. Yes the GNex is larger and 720p but (as has been said) the One S has great calibration and the panel is of a newer design, quite excellent for a QHD display. The GNex also suffers from screen burn-in on the notification and button bars (visible when playing full-screen videos).

The biggest deciding factor for me is the size and feel for the device - the GNex and other 4.7" phones are simply too big for comfortable one-hand operation, and won't fit into my slim jeans front pocket. The 4.3" One S is the perfect compromise - bigger than the paltry 4.0" on the iPhone and low-end Android phones, yet not the gargantuan size of "flagship" 4.7" phones.

Other factors in my decision are the poor external speaker volume, fair call quality and WiFi sensitivity, and below-average camera. The One S is better for all four. Plus, it has a built-in FM radio which is handy if you don't have a huge data plan like me and so can't always stream radio.

Then there is the overall feel of quality. The GNex was never praised for its build quality, whereas the One S definitely feels like a premium device.

Yes the GNex has 4.2, but that isn't a big jump from 4.1, which introduced Google Now and Project Butter, two improvements that really count. The One S is already smooth (thanks to its superior processing power over the GNex) but will be even better once it gets 4.1.1 (January?). For me, this will mean the One S will be "current" until Android 5 is released next Summer (not that I would necessarily ditch the One S then either).

Unless you are a developer, or love flashing ROMs, or simply MUST have the latest version of Android before everyone else, the One S is the better phone overall.
[HTC One S] arnold1997:
Very nice explanation ! I appreciate it. Thank you I think I am staying with the One S. The S4 processor is awesome! And I really like the camera. Thanks guys greatly appreciated. :D
[HTC One S] PUTALE:
It's hard to choose between the two because each one has its pros and cons. I have both at hand and I got to say, the only real bad thing that I can say about One S is the slightly lower res display and maybe a tad smaller screen size. other than that I prefer one S more than Nexus. I swapping my sim back and forth between the 2 and always found myself going back to One S due to it's design and overall usefulness. I wish HTC put a higher res display and maybe slightly larger screen but other than that, it would be the better choice for me.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
They did. It's called the One X.

Unfortunately, most of us on GSM networks don't get them.
[HTC One S] JccageX2:
Keep the One S. I had the choice today of getting a GNex or the One S. Better Camera, Faster, MUCH Better design, feels nice in the hand, better camera, better UI (genuine to opinion but I think more people would agree than disagree) better audio.

One S tops it. Only get the GNEX if you're after stock android.
[HTC One S] dgwphotography:
I have to agree. I went from a gnex to a one s, and I'm glad I made the switch.

The build quality, camera, speed are all better on the one s. The colors on the screen are better calibrated, and I also get faster downloads with the one s.
[HTC One S] knickerblogger:
Im happy i didnt opt for the gnex in july but now I wish i had waited for n4, :cyclops:
[HTC One S] T.C.P:
I just came from a gnex a few days ago.

:) my opinion.

HOS: better battery life, nice build quality, sense, nice camera.

Gnex: bigger screen, faster ota, 4.2.1,

I like HTC one s a lot, maybe I got tires of aosp :)

[HTC One S] Wirelessgirl:
I just sold my GNex and picked up the One S. The GNex is still a great device but it's too big for my hands. I didn't like the big hump at the bottom. Whenever I typed, it felt uncomfortable and eventually started to hurt my hands. I have small hands, even for a female! lol. Also the external speakers on the GNex is extremely low! I used the navigation one time and could barely hear the lady. I have a new car so it's not like my car is loud. I wish Power Amp would make an app specifically for navigation. Anyways, I love the design of the One S. It looks a lot more sleeker than the GNex. Feels more solid, external speaker is louder, earpiece is louder,....As much as I enjoyed the pure Android experience, I missed Sense UI. I had a number of HTC Androids in the past. So it's nice to have one again. :cool:
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Except the rest of the HTC one X sucks overall compared to the S, thank tegra 3 for that:

Advantages of the S4 over tegra 3:

- More performance per core, which is better than having an additional 2 cores as android/apps/tasks don't fully utilise the potential of dual core let alone quad. When I compare my S to the X, I notice that things are a lot snappier/more instant i.e. loading the gallery thumbnails, loading games/levels, apps, rendering maps etc. Of course, better software/driver optimisation would be a big factor here as well.

I haven't used a X with JB yet, so that difference might not be as noticeable any more. People who have got the update so far have said the improvement in performance is massive.

- Amazing power efficiency thus better battery life

The X has supposedly improved by quite a bit with the JB update, but it still wouldn't be as good as the XL or S.

- Doesn't get anywhere as hot or heat up as quickly as tegra 3, as we all know on this forum, over heating components can cause many problems.

- the audio on the S is better than the X

- smoother 1080P recording

So the X isn't the one you want, the XL is :) Or the X+ (bigger battery, 64GB, better front camera, jellybean on it already)

And the S has the lovely aluminium uni-body where as the X series phones use the polycarbonate uni-body.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
having said that unfortunately they do not make the One S with the S4 chip anymore so a better comparison would the same be said about a One S with a S3 chip?
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
No ... they are selling new One S 64GB with S4 in Taiwan now
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
There still are places selling the one S with the S4 chipset, well in the UK anyway, iirc 3 are still selling the S4 version as well as T-mobile.

As for the S3 version, well the performance certainly wouldn't be as good, however, I don't know how much worse it would be, never used one and haven't read any thing about the S3 version, as for the battery life, probably would be similar to the one X, average of 1 day with about 3 hours on screen time with medium usage.

Regarding the last 3 points, no idea as tegra 3 is really an awful chipset and I haven't watched any videos or read user opinions etc. on it, pretty much all of snapdragon chips are very good and easier to work with/optimise the drivers/software for.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
i stand corrected then! i thought the S4 version of the One S was a rare beast.
[HTC One S] GeorgeOSbeta:
Don't do it, I've had the Gnex before and don't get wrong, its a great device, but the performance on the one s is better.
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
S4

Canada / US One S has the S4 chip only.
[HTC One S] bigystyle84:
Nope. Galaxy Nexus has more disadvantages then advantages then the One S.

Give CM10 another go.
[HTC One S] blackwing182:
TI (Texas instrument) vs S4 qualcomm, i prefer the TI.
[HTC One S] adolfo778:
If daily use you won't note the difference in CPU performance partly because of project butter. But when it comes to heavy tasks such as gaming the TI is not the best. Depends how you use your phone.

There both great phones no doubt. The reason I like HTC Is because I like having the option of sense ROM or aosp based ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
I need an application developed that will do just a few simple tasks that save them in a "Status File" that my Windows Toolkit can pull from the phone and read from.

It's really simple I hope.

The app only needs to do 4 things.

1. Let the user name the Device's Profile Name

2. To read the Serial Number of the Device

3. To read the current Rom and Build

4. To read the current Battery %

Then save the results in a text file named "status.tk" on the devices internal sdcard in a folder called /SGNIIToolkit

the app should update this file about every few minutes just to refresh the battery info.

Status layout should be like:

Device Name

Serial Number

Rom and Build

Battery Percent

Example:___________

Ajster1989's Phone

1hjk23khj243kjh235

T889UVALJ1 4.1.1

54

As you see in the example there shouldn't be any extra symbols or info in the status.tk, the Windows Toolkit will add them when the info is shown to the user.

When this file is created then the Windows toolkit will use an ADB connection to pull the file from the phone, and read it to show the info in the Toolkits Status bar.

App Title should be:

"SGNII Toolkit Profile Manager"

when running it should read the info on screen to the user

Have an option to let the user change the devices profile name.

And let them know to obviously donate to you (Whoever creates this for me) and me for creating the windows toolkit, with links to our donation pages.

What I am willing to offer

Obviously I will give all credit to the creator of this app. I am also willing to donate for the time spent on this project.

If this program is successful with the Current Toolkit I am adding it to, then it will be included in the future with all of my other toolkits.

I will have a special donation link on the toolkit web page, and in the Windows Toolkit it self just your you.

This would be a great opportunity to get some traffic and recognition in the forum.

Here are the links to my Past and Current Toolkits

Sorry couldn't post in correct spot due to post restrictions.

I noticed if you select a specific ringtone for a contact and then delete the ringtone. When that contact calls it stops the android.phone apk instead of switching back to default. Then it just rings on the callers side till voicemail picks up but doesn't ring at all (or display a incoming call) on your phone. It still logs the call in recent as incoming not missed and it doesn't show any missed call notifications.

Hope this helps and isn't already posted (as I didn't read all the posts just bug bullets)...

1 - follow unlimited.io instructions - http://unlimited.io/fireball.htm which will include basic android sdk (minimum of adb and fastboot) on a pc that meets dirty racun specs.

2 - step 12 calls for temproot, best way is use excerpts from team fireballas fakecid directions. all that is needed is "Quick how-to temproot (written by captainrewind):" part 1.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1986346

3 - complete dirty racun instructions, s-off will then be achieved.

4 - now root needs done, return to team fireballas thread, post 2, and install recovery (twrp).

5 - install superuser or supersu again using team fireballas thread post 2 or the play store.

this will give me a rooted phone with s-off and stock software. i can now install apps that require root (wifi tether, adblock, root explorer, etc.), use recovery to do nandroids and install custom roms if i want.

what did i miss?

You don't have to install the android sdk. The dirtyracun folder has a simple short version, just cd to that folder, or open cmd from the shortcut included in it and you'll have adb needed to get s-off.

trouble with 11-Jan-14 update

Hello,

I applied this procedure on 30-Sep-13 and it worked beautifully. I've enjoyed root access until this morning when I clicked ok for a software upgrade. Now my phone seems to be in an endless loop showing some console content and then showing a graphic that says teamwin. Some of the console output references preparing and running skin_fota tool.

Does anyone have advice to how I might get back to a stable phone?

Thanks.

I pulled and restored the battery and the phone seems to have come back but I lost root access..
