[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I had it happen all the time with T-Mobile as the signal was so weak around my house, I was right on the edge of reception from their tower about a mile away. I would get a weak signal in my bedroom then get no signal in the bathroom then I might get a signal for a few seconds in the bathroom then go right back to no signal. Problem was solved when I switched to ST AT&T, now I get a decent signal throughout my house and no longer get no service even in the bathroom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
Its not just the weak signal. It shows no service but at the same time shows that i have reception. If you look at the my screenshot you see i have a signal it's being displayed as a number(-101) next to the wifi icon while at the same time shows i have no service. Kibox screenshot does a better job explaining this than mine, how can you have bars and no service at the same time?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Odds are your phone has picked up signal from another company and is trying to attach. During that time it will show signal but if it's not authorized to roam then it wont compelte the attach.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
-101 is a very weak signal and is about the same as what I was getting with T-Mobile (-109) when I had my problems with them. My signal strength with ST AT&T is around -90 to -80 and I no longer have the problem of getting no signal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Could it be that you lost signal from your provider and yet your phone is still receiving signal from other providers for emergency calls. So you would think that got your provider's signal back but in reality you don't.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i have roaming off so it shouldnt be hopping on a different network. i didnt think to check which network it was when the phone was doing this, i will next time.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
Hello All,

Recently got an ATT branded 8X and so far, with a few minor issues, I love it. That said, I have a bit of a problem with unlocking. I purchased an unlock code from *htcsimunlock.com and then inserted my TMO UK sim. Phone booted up and then it asked me for the unlcock code. I enter it and it comes back as a sim error. I tried this with a TMO US sim too and had the same result. The company will not return my emails either so I am not getting much luck on that end either (buyer beware).

So, I thought I would come to the one place I always seem to get answers, whether I like them or not :crying:

Ideas please? Cheers.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] drtolson:
Unfortunately, they sent you the wrong unlock code. The code is associated with the IMEI of the phone, not the SIM card.

Keep trying to contact them.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
Thanks drtolson. I realize that the the IMEI is the basis for the CU. My problem is after it asks me for the unlock, I get an invalid sim error message. I think you may have misundertood my question.

I have tried repeatedly to contact them but they just ignore me. Not cool I know but thats the fact of it.

The only thing thats related here is the fact that both sim's have been TMO. I can't imagine it being an issue and it has not been with all the phones I've unlcoked before... I'm stumped. :confused:
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] androidoholic:
The reason that you are getting the invalid sim error message is because the unlock is not working, then it detects that the sim is not an AT&T sim and says that it is invalid. You need to get the right unlock code. And get a refund for the wrong one that they provided you.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] maxrfon:
Never use any imei unlocking services!

99% of operators lock the phones by themselves due to a huge leakage at the manufacturer's side.

So i, as an unlocking expert for last 20 years, advise you all guys NOT to use any IMEI based services.

Most of the unlocking websites are offering a wide range of unlocking services based on your IMEI number, but for last 3 years, the amount of successful unlocks via IMEI is greatly dropped down to 1%. So if you got your phone unlocked by IMEI today it does not mean that the next phone will also be unlocked.

Moreover - nobody will return you the money before they earn enough, most of them are buying the codes same way you do but in bulk and before they get enough to cover what they have spent to get it - no returns :) Sometimes no returns at all.

It's a huge cheating and a gamble. The feedbacks they leave on their websites are written by themselves. And there are lot of tricks you guys don't know.

So just DON"T USE IT!

Use online unlocking solutions where you can see what is happening and for sure there is a person behind the unlocking software, so at least you have a chance to return your money.

Spread it.

Regards
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
Certainly seems like I'm the victim of a scam here. Now I have to decide if the $15+/- I've paid is woth all the aggrevation and time of a charge back. I hate being rooted if you know what I mean...

I've tried to contact these guys three more times since this post all to no avail. Please guys, keep this in mind if you're looking for an unlock. Don't use w.htcsimunlock.com/.

Perhaps we should have a sticky of unlock guys we know to be legit. What about you maxrfon? You have any way to unlock an 8X?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] qingmui:
I use www(dot)cellunlocker.net. My carriers is Rogers Canada, currently using Virgin Mobile (Acquire by Bell) unlock successful.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Dodgerone:
The chance to get the right code is based on the professionality of the service you use... a good service offers you fully refund if you send in Video with the missing functionality of the code.

There are a lot of cheaters on the customer-side too...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Loshme:
Also got scamed by *htcsimunlock.com , but i have called my bank, their money gateway and posted a complain. I hope they dont get the money, because its only reserved. Shame..
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
You know, now I'm not so sure... I also had a Lumia 900 and the battery went. ATT replaced it with a refurb and since my original phone was already unlocked by them they gave me the unlock code for that one too. I could never get it to work so I got on the phone with customer service. They took me through the steps and they could not get it either. They sent me another one again, warranty replacement and gave me an unlock code for that too. That didnt work.

Today I read this post on the Lumia forum; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2056808 I tried it and it worked. It unlocked my Lumia. I think I'll try the 8X tonight and see. If it does get unlocked, I'll let you know.

I have nothing to lose by doing this now.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Loshme:
I have tried this now, and nothing, asked for puk code.. I will try it again, with another card.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
Yep. Same thing here Loshme. Didn't work so now I'm pretty positive I got a bum code. Buyer beware!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Loshme:
Should I say that I have bought another code at different site, and still no go! I think that some providers changed unlocking codes for our devices.
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
My carrier uses 900/1800 baseband. I tickled through all regions and carriers and didn't find 900/1800. The closest option is 900/2100. How to add 900/1800 baseband to baseband selector?

CM7
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
The baseband selector is ported over from the defy. They probably know more about it and they're a more active community: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1444&order=desc.

Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
Thanks. Will try :)
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Did your Bravo come with the 900/1800 baseband? If so, you lost it when you flashed CM7. There is still hope, find someone with a stock rooted Bravo, or a Defy/phone with same radio, that uses your carrier and upload the entire system/etc/motorola and I'll be able to help you out.

I know that the Defy, Defy+, Bravo, & Milestone 2 all have the same radio. Start with those phones then expand to other Motorola Omap 3630 phones.

If you made a nandroid of your stock with that baseband and it worked just fine, restore it and upload that directory.
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
Frankly, I don't remember which baseband I used with a stock Bravo. I started to worry about that after I had flashed CM7. Before CM7 I had got CM10 and the signal strength was pretty good in the Underground, but when I had flashed CM7 my phone wasn't able to connect to network. :confused: So I started to think that there was something wrong with CM7. When I checked baseband I saw that my carrier baseband GSM900/1800 is not in list (btw, CM7 900/2100, is the first number for 2g and is the second for 3g? or are them both for 2g?). And I thought that signal might be lost because of difference in baseband. But than I flashed WR yesterday. I have a strong signal in the Underground now (in baseband selector I checked 900/2100). So the signal strength is not depend on baseband but on ROM. :o
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
The baseband shouldn't be dependent on the rom. If you have a working signal in CM7, then the same baseband should give you a working signal in CM9\10\MIUI. I actually use 3 different basebands that I use -- they all work good for me, but in low\no signal areas sometimes changing basebands will increase or give me a signal. It'll be boring, but go to Settings>Advanced>Baseband Selection and try out all of the 900mhz basebands until you find some that work well for you. I use 850mhz basebands so mine won't help, and to all the other 850's -- there's only 3, 4 including ATT stock which isn't in Baseband Selector. And for the other question, both are for 2g, 3g, 4g -- what's being transmitted over what particular frequency all depends on the governments and local standards (and your hardware :p)
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
Thanks. Will try different 900mhz someday :) There may be some tweaks in ROM. For example, for battery saving or signal power increasing, I guess :D Anyway, It's OK in WhiteRabbit rom now :good:
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
I was so happy with WhiteRabbit because of strong network signal. A couple weeks later my phone has got weak signal again... :( I have no idea what has happened. It doesn't depend on rom as skeevy420 said. But I do believe that it's software problem. May it be some power-save profile?
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
Have just posted a request to add my baseband at Defy forum. Maybe it could help..

Hi, first of all, why didn't you post that here? I am searching the whole morning to find a quick guide. :) I'm new to Samsung. I had running JellyBam already, but after some time I had to revert back to stock. Now regarding to the damn Sudden Death Bug (mine is affected) I have to install a custom kernel and keep the stock rom. I know there are two ways of flashing custom kernels to (stock)roms:

1. Custom Recovery

2. Odin

Regarding to Odin method: Is it true that the stock recovery will try to remove/flash away all custom stuff?

And if I use CWM method, can I reset the flash counter via Triangle Away while keeping e.g. the Perseus Kernel?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
Hi,

if a have some SDS with rooted phone and new kernel, this will disable the warranty, even if i stay with a stock ROM right ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtrail1:
Only temporary. If you have to give it to repair you can still use your warranty. Just make sure you reset the flash counter the right way after flashing everything to stock.

But with e.g. Perseus kernel you should be safe from sds bug.

Gesendet von meinem A101 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
-If SDS is the only concern, latest firmware (4.1.2 of 2013 released) are believed to be safe. AFAIK custom kernel also using samsung patch kernel code. so no extra safety by using custom kernel. one more thing just kernel only won't make device safe from SDS you needs recovery too.(recovery also using kernel code)

so you can still remain safe from SDS by flashing latest ROM

OR

Flash latest stock recovery and kernel to old stock ROM

You can find here in post#6

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

Again answer to your question,

1. stock recovery won't auto replace custom stuff (kernel/recovery), certain recovery (e.g. philz ) sometimes ask to replace stock recovery when you reboot from recovery. but this is not in case of kernel.

2.No, presence of custom recovery/kernel itself raise counter. even you reset with triangle away.

- once you have custom kernel/recovery, you can't keep your counter '0' even with triangle away. so as far as you are having custom recovery/kernel (whatever method you use to flash them) you are running out of warranty, again to make clear you needs to replace custom kernel/recovery to stock to reset counter and you needs working device to reset counter. (Triangle away need device working)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
Thanks a lot for this explain. Is there anything easy to see if the counter is "0" ? I mean taping a code on the keyboard like #*...# ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Reboot to download mode to check counter

It should show

Custom binary 'no'

ok all,

i really dinged the case on my titan so got a nice fresh one from ebay for christmas. looking at all the lovely colour phones that htc is currently producing got me thinking..... so i lightly sanded out the dings, gave the whole case a little rub over, attached it to a coat hanger and covered over the antennae contacts with tape. 8 or 9 light coats of metallic red car paint from halfords and the case looks fantastic. the worst ding is just about visble but the rest is good as new, if not better! just going to let it dry for 24 hours now and then test it for signal etc. i'm hoping the metallic paint won't affect things too much because it looks great :) couple of early pics attached. will post some more when it's dry and i can put the phone in it...

si
[HTC Titan] :
looks nice!

I wonder if car paint would hold up and not chip away after being exposed for awhile? Anybody have any thoughts on this...as I might try this as well.

I'm planning a few coats of clear lacquer next, hopefully that will give it a bit more strength...

[HTC Titan] berrywr:
If you carefully sand whatever it is you're using it will provide a way for what you are to use to stick; I realize this isn't the same but I do this with PVC; otherwise there's nothing for the paint to "grip" to; think of it as why road pavers scrape the grooves in the old road before applying the new asphalt down; same thing.

Thanks!

There is nothing special about them other than it does what it was meant for very well. It fits the phone nicely and has a little nicer feel than the $3 ebay TPUs. Oh, btw, don't purchase the matte blue version and expect to be happy with it matching your pebble blue. The glossy sides are too purple looking. The matte back matches but not the sides and front. I would go with the black if I could do it over.
