HTCCODE.com

I just got my DOCOMO Xperia Z (SO-02E) Unlocked using HTCCODE.com. The cost was $40 and it did take about a week to get my code but it worked as advertised, and the personnel on the companies live chat support were great to deal with.

If you are looking to unlock your Xperia Z and don't mind waiting a few days for your code I would recommend HTCCODE.com
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appfactory:
Does that means if the square boxes is empty on all fields, it simply means its already unlocked or no restrictions?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcatrazx:
YES - its UNLOCKED POP in ANOTHER SIM AND IT WILL WORK!

Yes my friend. ...

And by the way ... just got mine from 3 :( and it is locked unlike yours!

So any wiz could confirm (even though I am quite sure that it's not possible) ...If i put a stock Rom on the device (thus de-branding it) . Do I get the device sim unlocked as well ?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majickal:
Unfortunately not. I'm using an unbranded custom rom and I'm still sim locked.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark.m.moran:
What do I need to flash to it mate to have it factory unlocked?

Thanks,

Hi guys I paid 40$ on htccode.com and I receive my nck code on 5 days and it works very well. My xperia z is a french and locked on BOUYGUES TELECOM France. But now is unlocked and is so good. :good:

In my email I have instructions for how to unlock and if the code not working there is another instructions for getting refund. :highfive:

Voilà:D

You don't happen to work for www.htccode.com or anything do you!?? :cool:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark.m.moran:
Would this remove the SIM lock for us do you think??

Hey all so i replaced a fully charged battery with a spare. A hour later of non use the battery drops from 100 to 82. I found the media scanner is the culprit. Is there any way to stop the media scan besides disabling altogether? I'm on a 4.2 rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
it's a deep rooted issue across many devices.

a simple reboot may solve the problem.

sometimes a wipe and reflash of the rom.

others have tried backing up the sd and microsd card and then format them if the issue persists.

google: media scan battery drain or similar phrase or topic. you will have many results to review - an other solutions offered depending on your use

edit: it should be noted that if you were to format the internal sd, you will need to return it to stock afterwards because you won't have anything to flash in cwm
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HoggerJeff:
If the problem isn't with the SD or SD micro in the first place, you should be able to fix it. I've had this issue for weeks and have been working on it and trying to get the latest ICS Beanstalk ROM working properly.

Here's what I did - I backed up everything using Titanium then copied the contents of both SD cards to my PC. I wiped and formatted everything and ODIN'd a stock GB ROM to the phone and updated the kernel to give CWM. Basically, I started from scratch in the Beanstalk thread. Each ODIN or CWM ROM or kernel install was done 3 times (it probably made no difference, but made me feel more confident that it was written correctly).

Once I got Beanstalk flashed with GAPPS, I copied my backed up SD card contents back to their respective cards. I also downloaded the Titanium .apk from its home website here and installed it.

Now, make sure the battery is fully charged and then leave it with the screen off for a couple of hours. DON'T restore any backups yet. Once you are sure the battery is draining at a respectable rate (2% per hour is what I was seeing) then start restoring backups one app or system setting at a time. Give time between restores to ensure the battery is still draining properly. If you see a jump in battery usage, that's probably the bad app that has been causing problems. Uninstall it.

If you get everything restored and have no battery issue, the problem was with one of the SD storages and should be fixed. Either way, you should end up with a working device hopefully.

I'm about half way through the restore process right now and using BBS (Better Battery Stats - XDA edition) and my device is using deep sleep again. So far, so good.

Good luck. :good:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I had an external sd card go bad. It resulted in media scanner running frequently. Often I would notice it running right after I woke the display.

This App "sd card monitor" allowed me to quantify how much it was scanning: (a good free app)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...onitor&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

As I recall it was about 100 scans in 24 hours.

In my case formatting several different ways with phone and pc didn't fix the problem.

Replacing the sd card with a new one did fix the problem for me

I didn't realize there were any causes of excessive scanning other than bad sd card or bad sd format (there's a lot of things I've never heard of).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] martiusdj:
Yesterday i installed new cyanogen mod, FXP 211, jelly bean ROM from the free xperia project(smultron) for the xperia mini st15i and i have some issues. First and most important one, i can't receive incoming calls from anyone, nobody can call me but i can. Second issue is that i can't install apps on the SD card. I got the error message... Unknown code error during the installation of the application: -24.

Does anybody have some suggestions how to fix this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ironzy:
try doing a full wipe and flashing the rom again

It worked... Thanks. It solved all the bugs and now runs like a charm :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
I am using note from last 1 year. Used GB for six months then upgraded to ICS.

I am always FAN of Stock TW look.

But this time: SAMSUNG crossed limit by releasing worst, ugliest, laggy, slowest JB firmware.

When I tried JB leak in FEB. I thought that this is not ready and samsung will work on it and will clean it by little more makeup.

But bloody sammy released it as it was. I mean no cleanliness, no smoothness, no quickness.

I can feel the slow response of apps opening and closing which I never felt in ICS.

Even battery drains like HELL.

I am reverting back to ICS. I like quickness of ICS. I am not a heavy user.

I disable few apps or bloatware I don't use and ICS works awesome.

Your views.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zai89:
Maybe you do not know how to make clean flash...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] noteandfound:
JB is good for me..

Battery , smoothness, stability( with latest kernels)..

<<<The CRACKS on my NOTE shows how often it KISSES the FLOOR>>>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sriraviprasad:
its very smooth in my note.even app transitions are awesome but there is lag in gallery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hth2813:
Agree, battery drains like hell, many lag, hot issue... i will never buy a sammy device again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] getgopin:
JB is running better than ICS on my note. Its butter smooth and faster. Job done well samsung!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] roobeyn:
Sv: Worst JB any company will ever release.

Stop bashing about it? He paid for it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Agree i am saying the same. Ics release was way better than the jb release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gambolputty:
Kinda harsh language, but I must agree:

- it's slow, at least Germany stock (maybe because I did only factory reset, still Ultimate ROM is incredibly smooth)

- S Note is a joke (laggy and for the reason below)

- S Memo is missing and there's no Page widget - I looked at my Note's box, there's a neat picture of the phone there, it has 3 Memo widgets on it... WHAT THE HELL SAMMY? Why you delete a feature you advertise on box without giving any substitute?

- battery life is worse, on ICS using WiFi didn't make any significant changes to usage time, on JB WiFi drains battery like crazy

- its general appearance is bad (ugly icons, switches etc but it matters the least)

- it's just quick mashup port of Note II's/GSIII's ROM, but that's the biggest advantage of it - airview, multiwindow, ink effect and other stuff work without sweat

I'll be using Ultimate for some time, but I'll probably return to ICS, few features I like doesn't compensate for stuff I miss or hate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
+1 :D

Bloody idiots. They miss ******* simple things.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
the multitask and battery life for me makes all the difference, jb is a keeper they made touchwizz my favorite. The additional mods, with clean install and no recovery of app+data do the trick for me.

maybe you guys have rogue apps or something. Check you logcats

cm is really really awesome to, my fav vanilla flavour, but those touchwizz features wootwoot. I get same free mem after bloatware remove on touch as on cm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Agree with this thread worst software update ever. Intead it should be considered as a downgrade in software quality very much unsatisfied this time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Livebyte:
It's true, I am the software.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Quimerinha:
It's not sooooooo bad after all, battery really drains fast but the ROM is quite normal i think.

I really like TouchWiz because we have some features like Multi-Window, S Note, Fully integration with the S Pen, etc.

Always wanted to use pure Android(CM and others) but i would miss the way to organize the apps on the Drawer as i want and they aren't non-Wiping ROMs, once that all these features are included on a ROM i would be free from Samsung ****ty updates.

Better an resonable Jelly Bean than no Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
Totally agree with you. Now I really think that its not only me who finds this ROM ugly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jakethesnakeuk:
Have you all moaners done full backup and wipe?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rcheung28:
I actually like the appearance of the new icons/weather themes/wallpaper, that's why I was so looking forward to this release. But I agree with you guys, it sucked. When I bought my Note with 4.0.4, the impression it I got from it was the same as the Note II with TW UX gave me: smooooooth! I updated my Note officially through Kies, so I'm sure nothing went wrong in the 'flashing' process. I've also done a factory reset. But everything else lags except for home screen transitions, it's kind of a disappointment. S Note, Camera, Contacts take at least 4-5 seconds to load. Music player has stutters in music playback. There's a delay when using the S Pen.

But now I've moved onto a custom ROM, and it's keeping me really happy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsmas:
It's 50:50
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
First of all I don't care about back up. So forget about it.

Secondly, I was using ICS with philz kernel. I did all 3 wipes and then wiped preload which says now install newROM.

Then I installed original ICS using PC odin. Then I updated JB using KIES. Then I reset internal memory by using factory reset.

If you think that this process is not good enough: then please come to india, new delhi and do it for me you moaner.

Hope every one who wants to say that full wipe do the trick. Please read this post.

My brother bought iphone 5 2 weeks back. I was the one who was insisting that he should not by iphone rather by android because of few OS limitation of bluetooth and no card slot.. But luckily he bought IPHONE. And now I feeel guilty that why I was insisting on android if this the quality.

I bought sony xperia for my father with A7 cortex processor which is lower than what note has. But guys believe me. Smoothness of that phone is way beyond our note. We cannot even expect that from crappy sammy.

I will never buy sammy again. Apple or sony will be the preference
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Agree with you bro. same story with me but the difference is that my friend bought an iphone.. Although it is not big as note but the plus point is that it never lags for me the next change is gonna be a iphone 5s

Ps: when you paid $600 or Inr 32000 for a phone you atleast expect that the phone should not hang.. I am very much disappointed with jellybean
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sriraviprasad:
I dont think its the worst. its much better than ICS. My phone used to lag while i was in ICS - particularly dailer, Camera.

JB update at-least reduced lag in camera for me and the transitions between apps seems a bit laggy

What I like in JB update: Camera - much better no lag,Home screen transitions,Music player (More options and loads much faster),, Video player, multiwindow.

What I dont like in JB: Gallery (lags n takes time to load), app transitions
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vijai2011:
I wont go bashing samsung or neither iphone or anyother company.In my thought,Android is to make it adapt to your liking and ios is to make you adapt to ios.But persobally I cant give my power to any os.So I do prefer android.

And samsung cannot be blamed to some extent because samsung is basically a home appliance and hardware manufacturing company.They have just ventured into smart phones os side and they doing a blunder by making many new advanced features which is neither of less use or highly buggy sometimes which makes lots of issues to os and users.On the other hand,Sony doesnt make many new features but concentrate more on stability and reliability.But at last,there are plenty of phone choices today and we are free to select from them :)

Conclusion:There is only few company that can compete with samsungs hardware tech but samsung has to really work better on existing fearures to make it more stable and reliable which will consequently would make them the leader in mobile market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shahkam:
Wrong. Samsung hasn't just joined the smartphone adventure it has been there for a good darn while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
When i upgraded from ICS to JB, I had the same problem. The phone lagged like crazy. Then i went back to GB, did a wipe and flashed JB and now its much better. Still at times the phone lags, but the JB implementation is good and i am starting to like the TW launcher.

May be you should also try it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
pay me ticket and I will come to you and you will have a perfect, smooth and fast device afterwards and your brother, father and all your friends bashing you now will keep their mouthes shut for the rest of their lives ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
i understand that you are expert in android, but for sure this time you will not be able to beat the stability of OS of other phones with JB or iphone.:rolleyes:

Sammy sucks hard this time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
I don't know why someone opens a thread, just to show up being immune to any feedback...buy yourself an iPhone - any hairdresser and charlady will be happy you have the same device they have :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
He paid for a JB upgrade ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tejesh.mundra:
This debate is like any other thing that has two sides good and bad......My device has been smooh ever since i bought it.... and surely has improved with each update...:thumbup:

we do expect samsung to release better versions but then developers here have done awesome job to over come all those glitches and provided us with smooth and super roms.... :thumbup::cool:

Personally dont wanna shift to iphone and losse the ability to customize my device the way i want it.. the whole rooting abitliy makes it different from millions who are on stock.. and u might find users having problems with iphone and want some thing different.... so its perspective based

Plus with all these issues there is always something to look forward and to flash....:rolleyes:

love android and my note and wont shift till android 5 KLP is launched....;)

The day samsung launched a perfect device will probably be the judgement day.:p... rise of machines..:D;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
No we paid for stable OS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
you and 15 others don't have a stable OS - rest has ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ruleonyourself:
What is going on .....???

Seriously it is very upsetting to read all the above ......

First of all if somebody is on android and thanks the devs on xda that we can customize wether having any phone of any company........if people do not like the TOUCHWHIZ,SENSE,of xperia then they can easily move on to the customized rom for their phones......and if you are not satisfied with the performance juts search the forum and you will got the clean and bloat removed JB rom......you can try that...

If a company is providing update then there should be a hard work behind that...no company wants their customer to get a bad product.....

I really advise the people if they are haveing smoothness issue with the JB update.... they can follow these options:

1. Use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2197310 if want the stock TW

2. ROOt and use any of the custom rom

3. IF some people are suggesting that clear install do the trick then what is the issue to give a try....

4. IF ICS is faster that JB then y not to stuck on the ICS.....

IF you have paid ...we also do...but instead of complaining ( and that can not get your money back)...try to find the alternatives...

and lastly....IOS and android do not have any comparison in any aspect android give power to customization.....u can do with your device whatever you want to.....you will get too many option due to open source.....and on the other hand with IOS you have to take what apple wants to give...i know with jailbreak you can do a bit but you will not feel the freedom as android provide....

It is not a miracle of co incidence that android has gain a lot of market in very few time...there shold be a reason and that is well known to users like us.

TL;DR - Samsung software sucks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] efrant:
Keep things respectful please. Consider this your warning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
what you mean with smooth transition between apps? Changing them in recent apps? Pressing homebutton and open an other app?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arungk2:
really bad battery life

guys i have been using the note since one year

i have never complained about battery life

but after official india jb upgrade i am really distressed

i am having to charge my phone thrice in 24 hours since the last 4 days

since i upgraded.

i have never rooted this phone .

dear samsung please take action and help. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vladdt:
I'm using latest EU firmware LSZ. Rooted. Battery life exellent, especially with power savings on. Speed - laggy only on gallery, but I have many HD videos. What I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jenizaro:
Battery life is f@cked up when you compare with GB days even ICS days. JB is smooth but i bought this device just for the battery life and now i'm not happy like in old days :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projeto56:
This is the worst thread will ever be posted.

If you are having problem with JB you either are doing something wrong, or have a defective device. Stop *****ing and try to use your brain to fix your problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
I don't know why those people are replying back who are not having any problems with the jb update.. This thread is for those who are not happy with jb update.. By the way i think that every note owner including eybee who updated their note to jb somewhere inside thier heart surely have the disappointment with this update otherwise no one has posted replies back or someone should have reported this thread and until now this has been locked by mods.. I know no one gonna accept it but this is the reality
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
Sorry...i didnt know this thread is just for the moaners...so the happy ones: shut up now!:silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rcheung28:
I agree. I've tried the leaked JB back in December. The official release I tried (LM5) was relatively faster than the leaked, much smoother, less memory leak etc. The features on JB are nice, like multi-window, lockscreen shortcuts, unified SNote integration. But in terms of performance, compared to ICS on the Note, let alone GB, JB is a major disappoint. 1-2 second delay is most obvious regardless of types of inputs (home screen scrolling, launching an app, unlocking the device, etc).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zai89:
I love to read this thread! Awsome! :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Don't be too rude my dear friend and term them as "moaners" but they should be termed as "common person" if you know what i mean
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projeto56:
Yeah, because it's really uncommon to follow the procedures on the first post of a rom thread to flash it properly, in a way that the phone shows no problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
The common users are happily using their Note and dont even know about xda...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
My Observations after installing JB N7000DDLSC:

1. Fastest , Smoothest and Best ROM from Google and Sammy.

2. No Lags , Slowness or Hangs whatsoever. ( Installed Sammy Stock thru PC Odin and wiped everything twice)

3. Battery Life is 'Good' ( **See Notes below)

4. It doesnt have complete Sammy Goodies of JB of Note 2 like Airview etc and also many India specific softwares.

5. All in all , a good 1st JB ROM , which will be refined and enriched with more features in future updates.

** About Battery

Since , Note 1 was launched in October 2011 , many people will be using Old batteries (18 Months or so) , therefore these NiMh batteries will be severely degraded from normal use.Take out the battery and see yourself if its bloated.Consider buying a new battery and then report the battery timings.My personal exp. with a new Battery and JB ROM is quite encouraging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] edgarson:
exactly! that's where i get most of the jb lag
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
Personally, the difference in performance between ICS and JB is negligable.

Features? JB wins hands down, apart from the lack of a s note widget like the one s memo had, removing that was a bad choice from Samsung.
