You can unlock any GSM phone you want for a price. If you want Rogers to unlock it, they will charge you $50. I found a third party site (never used them before) that charges $17.

If you buy the phone outright, Rogers has to unlock it with no delay if you ask for it according to the CRTC Wireless Code. If you buy it on contract, they can make you wait up to 90 days before unlocking it.

(See F 1 at the link: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/info_sht/t14.htm)

If I end up getting one from Rogers I wouldn't pay their fee to unlock it though as I'll try the other site I found for $17. Of course, if Sony price matches Rogers, then you can buy it unlocked from Sony and save the unlocking fee. The only downside is no return policy with Sony.

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

According to some comments at mobilesyrup, the 'no term' price at Rogers will be $599 but the 'no contract' price will be $649.

Not exactly sure what the difference would mean. I guess for someone with no Rogers account, you'd be stuck paying $649 (meaning if Sony PM's Rogers, then that would be the price you could get it for), but if you have a Rogers account, you should still be able to pick it up for $599, no?. Just say you are adding the phone to your existing plan and walk away with it? As long as they don't mandate an increase if you monthly plan, that would still be okay.
[Xperia Z3 General] Mr. Droid:
Hey I meant the bootloader sorry for the confusion, I know it's cheaper to unlock elsewhere.
[Xperia Z3 General] Fr3lncr:
Ah, sorry. You probably already found this but I did a search on Google and Sony's web site has the instructions to unlock the bootloader. They state 'certain releases' can be unlocked:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

There is also this page as well:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/2014/07/14/sonys-unlock-boot-loader-service-now-improved/

But I don't know if the Rogers one will be one of those 'certain releases'. Sorry. Maybe someone else can confirm.
[Xperia Z3 General] Mr. Droid:
I guess will have to wait and see. I know Sony will be unlockable

I bought my phone from this seller. I bought mine for $650 and he promptly raised the price to $700 after selling abut 20 units. Now he has a new listing where ebay is subsidizing it by $100 so you can still get it for $600.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] i_guana:
I have spent over a year trying to resolve the tethering issue with T-Mobile and their upsell page that appears after you have maxed your hotspot data limit. It seems that some people can get around it using 'user agent spoofing' while others don't need to. I thought I would share my latest findings on this topic. I have successfully enabled Wi-Fi Tethering without needing to use user agent spoofing when using Windows browsers. This was achieved hours after T-Mobile sent me a text saying my hotspot data limit had been reached. First, a rundown of my Note 3:

T-Mobile Note 3

TWRP 2.8.0.0 Recovery

HyperDrive ROM Release 5

Compulsion Kernel 16

Wifi Tether v3.4 experimental ( http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...e=wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk&can=2&q= )

There are some screenshots below showing my settings:

MSS Clamping (MSS Clamping only appears in the options when using a kernel that supports it).

Routing Fix should be also checked.

Update: Just updated my Hyperdrive ROM to ver. 5 and I had to switch the device profile to Galaxy S3 to get it to work. Not sure why but using the device profile for the Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) stopped working.

UPDATE 2: I also failed to mention that, for me at least, I have to start tethering twice before it shows up as a wireless connection. Not sure why but it just can't be seen the first time you launch it after a fresh boot ...for me anyway. So, if it doesn't work the first time just stop it and fire it up again. Should be golden from then on!

UPDATE 3: Another update? So soon? Well, yes because I seem to keep forgetting to mention important details. A.D.D. at work! Heh! Ok, first off I highly recommend using Googles DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as you will most likely have problems if you don't. Place them in the ip4 properties of your PC's wireless adapter.

It's important to note that sometimes you will not acquire DNS when connecting to your hotspot. This is fixed by simply selecting the 'T-Mobile Tethering' APN prior to activating Wi-Fi tethering.

I haven't changed anything else from within Android or with any other apps.

Please post your results because defeating the upsell page has been an ongoing problem for me and many others and this has resolved it for me. I have full tethering access on my PC at LTE speeds as though it was a dedicated internet connection.

NO MORE USER AGENT SWITCHING! :D

Please hit the thank you button if this has helped you. Best of luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] expertcellular:
Defeating the upsell page is easy

First of all if you can enable the hotspot on your device you can use any mobile device without seeing the upsell page as the system relies on USER AGENT STRINGS to identiry your device. So on windows or mac firefox or chrome install a user agent switcher. Then use it to choose say chrome for android. Simply refresh the page and you are up and running. Some pages will not always display right as you will get the mobile version. You can also run programs such as utorrent and teamviewer without modifications through the hotspot. Any questions just ask..

This works without needing User Agent mods and doesn't trigger the upsell page even after your Hotspot limit has been exceeded.

Been looking for a long time for a way to do this. Once again thank you. I did not see the option to check MSS clamping, but it seems to work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ytj87:
Can't get this to work on Tweaked 3.9 for the Note 3. Not that it's needed, since native tethering works without any tethering data usage ever being detected. But I've always liked this app and native tethering takes several minutes for data to flow properly.

please help.

I have the new hyper drive as well. I have been battling a issue for a few days now and I am so happy I found this. Heres my issue, I use my hot spot as well as teathering every day. But I also tend to flash back and forth between ROMs as well, so its impossible for me to pin point how much hot spot data I used. Any way, it worked fine but now this happens....

first it will connect to my laptop, the phone shows its connected my laptop says connected as well yet it is limited access on the laptop with out internet access. When I switch it off to try again the hot spot on the phone will not even connect. It just fails over and over and over. After a reboot it starts the proccess over again. I am running the hyper drive ROM on my n900t

So I'm wanting to buy the Note Pro 12.2, and would like to set it up on my T-mobile plan if possible. There was a thread over and android central that talked about it, but honestly I don't have the warm and fuzzies that it will work. Has anybody confirmed that it will work on T-mobile, and if so which device do I need to get (AT&T or Verizon, assuming AT&T but figured I'd ask). If it won't work, then I'll just hop on the woot deal today and pick up a wifi one. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Omnipresent*:
The international unlocked note pro (P905), and at&t note pro (P907A) will both work on t-mobile. Although you'll have to get the at&t model unlocked. Don't know if the Verizon model (905V) will work on t-mobile.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgardner:
Excellent thanks, you have yours on TMO, or somewhere else? So if I get the international, in theory, I should be able to just plug in a sim and be good? And if it's the AT&T one do you know if they'll give any hassle because I'm not an AT&T customer?

Thanks!

It works perfectly fine on T-Mobile...

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
It seems to me that it would be preferable to get an international unlocked version (currently I see the 905 model on Amazon for $743) over a US carrier version which goes for more money and would need to be unlocked (possibly at additional cost?).

I'm wondering though, are there any concerns with doing so other than making sure that the LTE bands supported by the 905 are a match for the carrier to be used? What about warranty service of the device within the US?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Let me break this down:

The P905 will work on T-Mobile USA, but you will NOT get LTE as it does not support LTE band 4. Samsung always locks out US LTE bands on their international SIM free devices as to discourage importers and to stop people from taking away business from their carrier partners. Further, if you don't live in an area where T-Mobile has re-farmed 3G to 1,900 MHz, you won't get HSPA+ either, and will be stuck on EDGE because the P905 also doesn't support 1,700 MHz UMTS.

Now, the P907A (AT&T) model will give you LTE on T-Mobile, but will not give you HSPA+ unless you're in a 1,900 MHz farmed area. So this is probably a better choice for you if LTE is important. You will have to pay for your unlock code, though as AT&T won't unlock devices unless they're paid for in full and have had active service for 60 days.

P907V (Verizon) does not support GSM at all. It's 100% CDMA/LTE to the best of my knowledge, and only supports Verizon's band 13 LTE.

No situation here is ideal, but I definitely think that a P907A is a better choice if you want to use it on T-Mobile USA.

For those of you more visual, let's look at it this way:

P905:

T-Mobile LTE? No.

T-Mobile HSPA+? Only in 1,900 MHz re-farmed areas.

T-Mobile 2G EDGE? Yes.

P907A:

T-Mobile LTE? Yes.

T-Mobile HSPA+? Only in 1,900 MHz re-farmed areas.

T-Mobile 2G EDGE? Yes.

P907V:

T-Mobile LTE? GTFO.

T-Mobile HSPA+? GTFO.

T-Mobile 2G EDGE? GTFO.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgardner:
I've been doing a bunch of research and that's what I have figured out as well

So, if I don't buy it from AT&T (waiting for a deal on rakuten), do you know what the process would be or what the fee would be?

Thank you very much for your help!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Chances are, it'll still be SIM locked. You could try to have AT&T unlock it, but they'll probably tell you you don't meet some stupid criteria. You'd be best to use one of the 3rd party sites, and the costs for unlock codes can vary. I got my P907A unlocked via Cellunlocker.net and it cost me $30 I believe. Also, in case you want absolute proof that the P907A works on T-Mobile LTE, I created a video on this a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RIx5SUfif8 and skip to about 11:05.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgardner:
Oh pfft only 30 bucks (or even anywhere around there) is perfectly fine. Honestly I'm not too worried about the cost as much as I am making sure it's possible.

And thanks for the video, makes me feel a lot better getting this device. Now to try and wait for a good deal before my patience runs out and I just end up dropping full price lol.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Omnipresent*:
Nice breakdown oldblue910. Jgardner, also bear in mind the international note pro (p905) can natively make and receive phone calls, while the Verizon and AT&T note pro cannot. This was my main rational for getting the 905. I sacrificed LTE but gained voice call capabilities using Tmobile's 3G/HSPA+ network in the U.S. Someone mentioned in another thread, that your could use the app groove ip and make and receive phone calls on the Verizon and AT&T Note Pro. Unfortunately, I don't know if this has been confirmed yet.

T-Mobile does work on the Verizon tablet (p905v) they both use LTE band 4 1700-2100MHz. There is an error with the setup wizard app complaining the SIM is unrecognized but that's easy, just stop/freeze the app. Actually I froze most of the Verizon apps.
