[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] krishelnino:
AFAIK, except the Verizon Note 4 which comes factory unlocked, remaining all carriers phones are region locked as well as SIM locked. Region lock means that you have to use a SIM card from the original country in which the device is purchased. Once you have activated the phone with a SIM card in that country and used for 5 minutes, the region lock will be automatically removed. Besides region lock, there exists the SIM lock which means it is locked to the network from which u have purchased a contract. So T-Mobile, ATT and Sprint phones only work with their respective networks unless ofcourse you get a unlock code. The exception is Verizon N4 which comes factory unlocked. You can put any SIM but the number of GSM bands are limited in that device since Verizon uses a CDMA network.

I was always under the impression this was applicable to devices purchased in the UK only.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bad Mod:
Thanks for the info. I borrowed a friend's SIM card and called for 5+ mintues. Would that be all or is there anything I should have done to activate the phone with the SIM card? I ask because when I had t-mobile before I had to enter the IMEI# when activating the SIM card but not sure if this is needed for the regional unlock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I believe that's only for region unlock so that the device can be used overseas but on the same carrier network. To use the device with other carriers, you would need to perform a SIM-unlock. Region-unlock and SIM-unlock are a bit different. You need to make a '5'-minute call in the states to be able to use the device beyond US territory when traveling abroad. You can't do a SIM-unlock before making that initial '5'-minute call using a T-Mobile SIM Card; only afterwards.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] krishelnino:
Yes, i guess that should be enough to remove the region lock. But to use it on another carrier, you still have to SIM unlock your device, either by calling T-Mobile or using a third party service to get the Unlock code.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Fidelio_o:
What service does everyone recommend?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bad Mod:
Thanks. I should be good now for an unlock code

Here is the ones I saw mentioned here

$30 cellunlocker.net

$30 cellphoneunlock.net

$40 getunlocked.com
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zippy13:
Ordered unlock code from imei-unlocker.com using their "US Database" for $24.00

Ordered on Friday night (Jan 23) and received it Tuesday afternoon (Jan 27) or within 2 business days.

Worked perfectly :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] krishelnino:
I recommend getunlocked dot com or imei-unlocker dot com
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Fidelio_o:
Ordered from cellunlocker.net this morning, just waiting now see if it works.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] travchan:
Ordered my unlock through ebay for $21.90 Took 3-4 days for unlock code.

I am using a financed t-mobile note 4 overseas and so far no problem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] strider5236:
Got my phone a month and a half ago and paid full price. Finally went online and requested the unlock code over live chat. Got it unlocked this morning. I will continue to use T-Mobile service though, but it is nice to know I can switch anytime now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Call Tmo CSR to unlock my two Note 4 last night. She ask why. I say I want to use my phone overeas. She say OK. And she say my phone is fully paid. She ask for the two IMEI. This AM I got my unlock code. Easy as that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Yay 4 Juggs:
Got my code from csr now just need to find a non tmo sim to unlock...can it be a verizon sim?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bigmase23:

I had hardtime unlocking my xperia Z3 this month, but the tech support finally did. But before that I jad my M8 unlocked last September and they said I can only have 2 unlocking options in 12months. I wonder if they can unlock it for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Does it cost Tmo money to unlock phone? If not it should be endless as long as we have pay off the phone.

I have me n wife phone unlock last month. Does that count as 1x or 2x?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jhun80:
Its free to unlock from tmobile. only 2 phones can be unlocked within 12 months.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Voicebox:
I just used this for my Note 4. Ordered at 4:25PM Pacific time and code arrived 7AM the next morning. Cost $12.50, though I have no idea what the differences are in the categories they show since many overlap. I picked the $12.50 category, though the Tmobile Note 4 is also in the other category that cost $13. Seems like pick the cheapest category your phone falls under. I was figuring that if my phone wasn't in the $12.50 database, I'd have paid the additional 50 cents, but didn't have to.

One thing I had to double check is my phone was asking for "SIM Network Unlock PIN" instead of "SIM NETWORK UNLOCK CODE" like their website says. But it was fine. They are probably just using older terminology that some phones used to use.

Took many minutes for my phone to register using an international SIM, so I was wondering if there was a problem. But I walked outside and then the SIM worked. Checked my account balance and it was fine. Since the AT&T signal is very weak here, which is the roaming partner for that SIM, I don't know if it just took several minutes for the phone to get all situated, or just the lack of a signal inside.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Cuppeerr:
I don't know why everyone has so much trouble with tmobile unlocking their phones. If uIwant my phone unlocked I always chat instead of call. Just a couple days ago I chatted and had my unlock code emailed to me before the chat session was even over. All my unlocks have been painless with them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

I bought my T-Mobile Note 4 off of Swappa and want to SIM Unlock and use it on AT&T. I believe the phone is paid off, can confirm tomorrow, when I get it. I highly doubt T-Mobile CSR will unlock for me, since I am not a T-Mobile customer, nor do I intend to be, but I will try, nonetheless.

In case it fails, what is the cheapest place/website have you guys used to get your unlock code, successfully? Thank you for your help in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tooandrew:
Hey everybody. i've been running null rom 23 (or whatever the last one f0mey released was) for quite a while, and using an outdated gear manager because i was unable to connect on a newer manager. since the method to revert to android became available and i got a galaxy note 4, i want to update it to the newest stock tizen, then try tizenmod. however, i am having some serious driver problems. i managed to flash to stock android and now, unfortunately, my computer will no longer recognize the device in download mode. i have tried different ports and cables, rebooting the watch, rebooting the pc, manually switching the driver in device manager (which is successful but says the device could not start). i've uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, nothing has helped. any advice?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] huntleth:
I found exactly the same issue yesterday trying to navigate around London. Google maps has been dodgy lately on my note 3, xperia z and my girlfriends HTC one s so I put it down to a bug, I might try another navigation app to see if it's the phone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
Are you using a case? Particularly one with metal in it such as an s-view case. If so, you have to recalibrate the compass after every reboot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TML1504:
this is not dependant on cases etc., same here as on note3, ... : with each reboot the calibration resets. maybe this is how samsung wants it to be!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BrandonPrice31:
I'm using the s view case hmmm
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BrandonPrice31:
Do you have same issue?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] boufa:
This has been an ongoing issue with Samsung Phones. This is my 3rd and and none of them have worked correctly in Maps, without navigating.

When you are just driving around (not navigating) you are using the compass....

When you are navigating, Maps is using the GPS and comparing your last point to your current point to determine your direction of travel. This causes navigating to work right and non-navigating to be wrong.

I have not found a consistent solution. Also on Google Skymap, with the AR type view, it is nearly useless for this same reason. It can't seem to sense your proper orientation due to the compass issue. (though I admit to not trying skymap on the Note 4)

Its not so much a bug, as it is Samsung and Google doing things differently.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BrandonPrice31:
So you have this issue with the Note 4 when using Google Maps while driving? Moving my note in all directions calibrated it but then reboot forgets.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] boufa:
I dont mess with the recalibration process. Its annoying and i hate it, but its not so bad that i recalibrate. I also dont reboot very often, but in the past, the recalibration doesnt stick for long even when not rebooting.

I love google maps for navigating, but it sucks for driving around. The biggest issue is that the screen turns off on its own when not navigating. Waze is great for driving around, it doesnt shut off the screen, and gives you all the traffic info you need. It also routes the voice through the phone regardless of if you are connected to the car by bluetooth. The biggest complaint with waze is that it isnt multi window compatible. On my rooted note 2 i used waze on the left of the screen for traffic issues, and maps on the right side of the screen for navigation.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uchechris:
I bought this phone from a gentleman last 2 weeks ago and I am loving this phone too much. Only thing that bothers me is the front facing camera. When I used to have the iPhone 4s, the front facing camera snaps selfies very good. But when I used the compact, the front facing is not very good, kinda poor and shows some purple pixels/shadowing like. Here is my question, Is it normal to do that? Does it have anything to related to low light performances in selfies? Or is the compact's front facing camera isn't good? Any advices to this issues? I would really appreciate if someone has an opinion about this or experience this......other than that, this phone is the beast!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Install Sony PC companion on your PC and try the 'repair' option.

If that doesn't fix it then call the Sony service center: 03705237237 (for the UK)

The phone has two year warranty, so you should send it back and see if you can get it repaired.

I sent mine back with a cracked screen and that was replaced for free..

[Moto 360] theandies:
I've not worn a watch since I was in the service but I am gadget freak and am really intrigued with this device and have a few questions. It looks really cool and I love the round form factor. I'm just testing the waters so to speak before shelling out the bucks for something I may not use that much.

How thick is it? It's hard to tell by the pictures.

Can you replace the band like a traditional watch?

Do you find yourself going to it before going to the phone?

Other than telling time do you find it to be just a novelty or does it really make your life easier?

Can it do navigation and can it do navigation without being tethered to the phone?

Since it's Bluetooth connectivity does it eat you phones battery because Bluetooth is always on? I have a HTC One M8 and only turn Bluetooth on when I need it.

Can it be used without the phone being near and if the phone is not near what can it do.

How bright is the screen in sunlight?

Can you pick the dial face like a wallpaper on your phone?

Anything else that you can share would be awesome.

Thanks

Can someone test this for me. If I have my note 4 with the sound on or in silent mode I get the moto 360 to vibrate showing a new text. But If the note 4 is on vibrate, the moto 360 will not vibrate to let me know I have a new text via the stock messaging app. So frustrating! Please help
[Moto 360] Zhou86:
It is not dependant on the "Global" mode...it is dependant on the "In-App" setting.

i.e. Whatsapp: You need to set it to "vibration - on" in the app settings, so even if your "global" setting is total silence, you will still get vibrations on the watch.

Hope it makes sense.

Interesting, I have all vibration disabled on my Note 4, both globally and in-app, and I receive vibrations on the watch just fine when the phone is set to Silent.

I am talking about stock messaging app. Yes, you're getting notifcations when the phone is on silent or if the volume is on. But, if you put your phone to vibrate you will not get the moto 360 to vibrate from a new text message via the stock app

Using the CyanFox 4.4 for the samsung exhilarate

Just wanted to give a big thank you to ns17 for the kitkat rom for the Samsung exhilarate phone. It is very hard to find a working rom for this phone. The cyanogen nightlies don't seem to work anymore. And most other links are long dead. At first the camera did not work, but I found out this was due to excessive backups in clockwork leaving almost no free space on the device. So far it works great and the only minor bug I noticed is that the checkbox for nfc communication will not stay unchecked.

Great job with this and if any further developments occur/have occurred please let me know as I am more than willing to test and help out for myself and all those others that love running this great exhilarate phone!
