[Sony Xperia ZL] DdcCabuslay:
I can't speak fully for the ZL, but for the Xperia arc there are unofficial ways to unlock a bootloader which is deemed not unlockable. I can only assume the same.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
Does anyone know if the Xperia ZL from Bell would work on Wind Mobile if I were to unlock it? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
I've been told it will.

So I've picked one up. Now just waiting for my unlock code from cellunlocker.net.

They said it will take up to one week. :/
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
I see, thanks for the info. How much was it for the unlock code?
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
Its $40 from cellunlocker.net

Its $35 from canadagsm.net.

I Went with cellunlocker because I've dealt with them before, but I'm sure canadagsm is fine too!
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
wow, one week for an unlock code is too long...
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
Yeah I wonder why it would take that long.

:S
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Wow a week .....i got mine in 10min from a guy on kijiji for 15$
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
Was this the Bell version?

Do you still have a link to the ad?

I might just go ahead and cancel my order with cellunlocker at this point then.

PS: I'm going from a N4 to the ZL as well. What are your thoughts on the transition?
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
I see, pricing seems a bit steep tho. Thanks again.:good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Is nice battery life the same like N4 , this the email of the guy from kijiji pratheeban@hotmail.com sorry I couldn't find the add (lazy :) ) I pay him with PayPal

[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
so I can buy the phone from bell, unlock it and use it on Wind mobile?
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
Yes, you can.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
does bell version has the ugly logo? I take it probably does....., rogers? Mobilicity?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Nope no ugly logo, I'm using one right now and I don't see any logo if u gonna ask about bloatware yes is there like any other locked versions
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
yeah, just came back from a bell, no logo, but no white version, too bad.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
No white version too so.... U have to wait for that
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
Is the Rogers version same as the Bell one? meaning it would work on Wind if unlocked?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Seams like yes they have the C6506, I don't know why u guys ask about this version cuz u can find the C6503 which I'm sure will be compatible with wind plus is cheaper than C6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
I see, cuz I'm buying from Craigslist and the choices are either Rogers or Bell, I don't see any other models. Thanks for the info.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
U forgot about kijiji, I saw there few C6503 and C6502 for less than the rogers, Bell one's plus those ones are factory unlocked and no bloatware from Rogers or Bell.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
I did check Kijiji, I'm in the Vancouver area tho
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
To bad for u cuz in the Toronto area are a lot btw did u check eBay??if is to expensive there than get the rogers or bell one but I'm not sure if it will work on wind since wind will bring it latter on the C6503 or C6502 versions from what I heard around
[Sony Xperia ZL] JPowered:
eBay prices are usually much higher than Craigslist local, plus shipping alone is like $50. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garen21:
How long you guys think it'll be until US carriers get phones with octa core processors? I'm thinking of getting the S4 but I don't want to get the quad core US version and then a couple months later, octa core phones start coming out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
What's the point of octa-core exactly? I don't understand what real life benefits it can have over the quad core SnapDragon 600 processor being used in the competition's flagships. IMHO it's completely gimmicky and silly for present times. I understand your view, I would want the higher version too if I'm paying for it, but I feel the S4 on the whole is silly and doesn't bring anything new to the table other than gimmicky stuff. Its looks don't help either.

Good read - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=396
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amith007:
Completely agree with the above comments.. Even if you have an Octa core working in your device, only four cores will be working at a time.. and the latest benchmarks scores from the galaxy s4 shows that the qualcom 600 seris scores more than the exynos Octa.. So its juts a mere number game by Samsung.. at least at this point of time.. the quadrant score for the Qualcom 600 in HTC one is in the range of 12000.. Any of the current (i believe for at least another year) will work like a charm with this processor..

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfanet:
Hey,

So I mainly opened my account here because of this problem, and I need to fix it as fast as possible...

I rooted my phone, that went fine. Then I tried to upgrade the baseband to the ICS ROM, which didn't really work (I followed all the steps but when the phone turned on it was the same version..) so I skipped that step to install a new ROM. Installed the ICS ROM on my phone, but then I wanted to install the new baseband (P500-v20G) so I will have my network back. I ran LGMDP-v1.5.exe but it didn't detect any ports. My computer doesn't detect my phone either. And on a different computer my friend tried to help me, it connected but the baseband upgrading still didn't work. Also now I get plenty of errors when my phone is on about processes closing (didn't happen after the first time I installed a new ROM, but after I tried different other ROMs it did).

Please help me :crying:

So my two problems: phone not connecting to the computer (I'm sure it's a problem with my computer) and the baseband problem.

Problems solved.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr0yy:
I can say only one thing.. Please search and read all important and sticky threads before experimenting with your phone. Atleast have proper knowledge. These kind of dumb issues are already been answered a thousand times.

Temporary fix for your Baseband.. use the first link in my signature.

Flash it. AND Due to old scripts.. it does work with new recoveries.. so in that case use root explorer.. unzip and paste in /system/libs.. set permissions right.. thats all.

About how to upgrade Baseband and computer problem.. search and solve it yourself.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfanet:

One more problem- I don't have 3G internet. I can call and use wifi, but no internet. Any ideas how I can fix this?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
Check you APNs ( Access Point Name ). Setting is located under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names on CM7. I think on ICS and JB it's under Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. You mentioned a P500, so you're carrier should be listed as ATT under the APNs list.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
It's a noob question, but how does one retrieve Samsung signature keys? My reason for them is that I would like to know if I could use them to sign a rooting zip file so I can flash it through stock 3e recovery. My android device - the GT-S7560M or the Galaxy Ace 2 X - is very scarce on the World Wide Web. I couldn't find much development going on with it, and it is a pretty sweet phone (packs a 1 Ghz single core processor, ~700mb of RAM, Adreno 200 GPU). I have found one root method found here but it requires the installation of a custom recovery, which in the end leaves that annoying yellow triangle on boot. In that thread, some have tried different methods of removing the triangle though all of the methods have failed so far. If I ever need my phone repaired, Samsung may not repair it free of charge if they see that I have been flashing away. Anyways, I am assuming that if I flash a package that looks like it is an official Samsung update package, the phone won't make the triangle appear. Could I root it with CWM and then modify the bootloader so the triangle doesn't appear, or would Samsung be able to see it was modified? Or could I compare all the system apps to find the similiarities which of course would be the keys? If I was able to root it and have no triangle, I would be able to unlock its full potential and cook the first ROM for my device. Please don't post Galaxy Ace 2 root methods as this device is completely different (it has ICS 4.0.4 with Touchwiz UX). It would be much appreciated if you could all help.

Oh, and sorry for the long boring paragraph!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
I could be totally wrong but I don't believe there is any method available to retrieve the key used by Samsung to sign their apk's or zip's it is a proprietary key and I believe the signing method ensures the key used cannot be recovered. Like I said I could be totally wrong but that's my limited understanding of this.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lutschie:
Hey guys,

I think about buying the 4x HD. But know in see that theres a very small community for this phone. Isn't it as good as i heard or what? I know this phone for a while now and it's not Brand new anymore (i think), so it can't be the reaon. But why are here so few devs and ROMs?

And my last question: is there a Chance of getting an unlocked bootloader some day?

I really need a New phone now, cause now i stuck with my Galaxy S Plus for 2 years now :D

THX in advance...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m17b:
I came from having a Galaxy S and yes, the community is much smaller than of the almighty phone of ours, but the device itself has been so underrated. Except for minor hiccups, IMO the phone is great. I was lucky enough to get it now, when the bootloader has been unlocked and Jelly Bean is around the corner.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lutschie:
AW: Very small 4X HD community

THX for reply. I think if it gets CM10.1 fully working, i’ll buy it if there isn't a phone as good as the 4x HD for that prize (about 300 Euro in germany) than

. I just need CM, i can't live without it anymore (been on CM since CM7) :p

Sent from my iStone using my hand
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m17b:
Yeah, CM is great! But don't worry - the firmwares LG is rolling out are great too! Clean menus, added functionality and very customisable. They should just fix the occasional lag and the Tegra drivers. Some games have a low frame rate, while on other Tegra 3 devices they run smoothly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lutschie:
AW: Very small 4X HD community

Uhhh... Are there huge laggs, or are there just sometimes mini-laggs? Cause' on my SGS+ NFS-MW, Shadowgun, etc... run flawlessly ;)

Sent from my iStone using my hand
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
Welcome to our forum :) .

About games lags it is not a problem with phone ... as you can see the THD games are running very smoothly (Riptide gb , shadowgun ...etc ) while some others are lagging . This is a problem with game compatibility . So if you see the benchmark scores it nearly has the same as SGS3 . Personally my phone beats the SGS3 (With tweaks and MODs) in the benchmark , it got a higher score (about 1300 in the old Antutu (2.9.x) while SGS3 about 12xx) .

About the Devs ,, this is a new phone ,, every new phone will get a little Devs until it be become old .

About bootloaders ,, now we have an unlocked bootloaders (see the JB updates info and CWM Recovery thread)

Personally I bought this phone because it is the cheapest Quad-core phone in my country and I see it as an Excellent phone with its low price .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nedooo:
I had SGS (better GPU than SGS+), and SGS2 (GPU OC'ed to SGS3 speed and further) and SGS3, and 4X is is great as is any of those...

What you call flawless (Adreno 205 - I also had Incredible 2), somebody in now days calls a joke...

My recommendation for you is, if you are completely satisfied with SGS+, stick to it and upgrade only when you feel dissatisfaction...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lutschie:
AW: Very small 4X HD community

I'm not completly satisfied anymore. I really want i bigger screen, better camera (even if its here not much better as i red) and also my phone laggs with to many open tasks caused by low RAM.

I really like my S+ and toke much work on it (raised the antutu score from the beginning(3500) up to now(6800)), but it's not uptodate anymore i really love the exitement of a New phone.

I also want to have a LG cause i really love the UI (got launcher and Theme on CM10 :) )

And i CAN play flawless, if i take my bigMEM (398mb of RAM), OC to 1824, clean RAM and taking gpu libs from galaxy w before playin' :cool:

First thanks for the nice welcome :)

And yeah, that why i'm so interestet in this phone
[LG Optimus 4X HD] powervrm3d:
wait a little more... I believe this is not a small comunnity... all it was needed was the boot acess...

;)

I could even venture in this terrain... why not...the problem is lack of knowledge and time... but we must walk before we can run...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Small community doesn't equal small amount of development or community support. In other sections there are also only ~20 active members, but there's also tons of noobs asking "which is the best rom" or "did i brick my phone" or "help me unlock i can't root" and stuff. There's four active devs around (IIRC), and dexter alone has made more stuff possible here than many devs on other sections. Now the bootloader is unlocked, we'll just have to wait for compiled roms and for LG to publish their sources, which should be in a few days. Then kholk can finish his kernel and we'll hopefully have a fully working CM10.1.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lutschie:
AW: Very small 4X HD community

I haven't said that the devs aren't good ;) i just said that there aren't much. I just can compair the 4x HD with my SGS+, cause it was my first and only smartphone (beside my samsung wave, but that wasn't with Android), and there where actually a pretty huge community and devs after this period of time.

And i decided to by this phone now. But now i got one question left:

Which COLOUR should i take? I like the black one but the white one looks also pretty cool (haven't seen both in reallife, that why i'm askin)

And THANKS for all replys, i think its a good start for the phone for me.

Cheers :beer:

No Price Match on Contracted Cells

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.

Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.
