I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone ever find a solution? I phoned T-Mobile and they told me to type in something involving the PUK code, but I didn't think it'd do anything.

I typed it in, and it's just stuck now. Saying unblocked, now unlocking.

Anyone help?

I've got a pay as you go T Mobile SIM in mine now. Registers with nework ok but won't make / receive phone calls / messages..

Hey,

I'm from Germany and wanted to complete an O2 contract and use it with my G1.

But before I make the contract I used an O2-prepaid card (O2 loop). Im connected to the next O2 cell and calling works great. (running ADP1 JF 1.31 fw)

The cell-tower are not the same as t-mobile and vodafone and the active O2-cell is changing very often.

I hope O2 contract will work, because it's the cheapest kind of data plan.

i had the same problem with my touch hd,also brought from ebay as it was unlocked.used it and worked well for 3 weeks then wouldnt make calls but would connect to the internet.after weeks of trying i found out from my network provider that the phone is blocked ie reported stolen.so the person who sold it me had done an insurance scam.he diidnt get away with it though as i reported him to ebay and the police.and i got a new 1 from my insurance.so im happy now.you should ask your network to check the imei against thier database to see if your phone has been reported as stolen
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
Looks like you were spot on mate.

Just done a CheckMend report indicating that the IMEI has been blocked on "one or more UK networks".

I've pulled my auction (of course) as I'm an honest seller.

Will have to do some digging as to why - tense email to original seller tonight I think, then maybe the police etc in the morning.
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
Blocked by T-Mobile at someone else's request.

Paypal - no resolution as > 45 days (nicely timed by seller it seems)

Time for the police *sigh*
[G1 General] petertheface:
Wow! Turns out my phone was blacklisted too! Thanks SOO much! I never would have thought to check to see if it had been reported stolen.

Need to chase up eBay seller now though. Fun.
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
Well - after hammering away at this for nearly 3 days...

I have a crime reference number!

Which means that PayPal / eBay / T Mobile will need to investigate.

Friendly advice to any others in this situation - I was told initially by the desk officer at my local police station that this was "a civil matter". Thankfully I ignored that and spoke to the local headquarters - they've confirmed that it's a criminal matter and they will be investigating further. So stick to your guns ;-)

Fingers crossed, and good luck to anyone else out there in the same situation.
[G1 General] dilandou:
Apologies for the bump

I apologize for bumping the thread after all this time, but i've had this happen to my G1 just today. After months of flawless use my unlocked G1 suddenly decided to not like any SIMs but a T-Mobile one. Annoyingly IMEI checks show that it's not blacklisted, using both CheckMEND and calling O2 direct and asking them if they have a blacklist flag on it, which they didn't.

I'm wondering if CodeMonkey, or anyone else, managed to get anywhere with a claim or a reason or solution to any of it?

Also, i'm curious as to whether or not we have the same Ebay seller, just to ease paranoia of a scam of some kind going on.

Cheers

[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
This is still with the police *sigh*. Currently chasing down the T-mobile account holder who blocked it originally and the seller. Given up much hope of getting my money back but hoping to take the £350 I'm down by out of the guilty party's hide through the criminal justice system. As far as I can determine, this is either insurance fraud (account holder sells phone for cash, reports as lost and claims off TMobile insurance) or theft & selling stolen goods.. I personally think it's an attempt at insurance fraud by some dimwit as the phone came in it's original packaging with accessories still sealed.

I won't post the seller's name on a public forum in case they're an innocent party, however PM me the details of yours and I'll respond. If it is the same seller I'll update the police appropriately so they can widen the investigation and get in touch with you (if you want to go down that path)..

**EDIT**

Update - compared sellers and they're not the same: watch out if buying on eBay peeps.
[G1 General] Zonk76:
I am glad that I found this threat, to learn I am not crazy. Bought a German G1 via ebay, and the first day (wih original FW) everything was fine. At least i think so as I didn't use it much. Then I upgraded manually to latest German RC9 version. While the phone showed to be connected to o2 and internet was working fine, I noticed only one day later that I was not able to make outbound calls or send SMS. Also other o2 customer got error tone (no real message why not reachable) when calling me, SMS didn't arrive. However the most weird thing was that it was possible to call my mobile phone from my fix/land line! Again, for other mobile phones I was not reachable, but land line worked?!

While beeing frustraded I did HW reset and the FW update again, but still same problem. Still in the evening of the same day I left my house, sitting on the airport - and suddenly it worked smoothly. Since that, for a week now, everything works fine.

No, I don't undertand this at all. And I think this was in my case also no issue of being blacklisted as it works now, without doing anything. Letäs hope it does not have a fall back.

G1 Swindle

Hey guys

It looks like I have also been swindled by some chump on ebay and my G1 has been blocked. Has anyone any idea if the phone can be wiped and rebooted in a fashion that clears it from any blocking register?

Otherwise I'm stuck with a very expensive paper weight!!
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
1. Confirm that it is IMEI blocked (if UK use the CheckMend service)

2. Go through the eBay / Paypal dispute process if within the 45 day time limit.

Otherwise contact law enforcement and report - it's either selling stolen property / insurance fraud.
[G1 General] Josh25:
I've checked the IMEI on check mend, it came back with no reports of it being lost or stolen but it did say it was blocked on 1 or more networks (this may be usual for the G1?)

However I also took it to my local mobile unlocking shop, they tried several sim cards in, including T-Mobile. None of which would find a network except T-mob but it would not connect when making a call. His diagnosis was blokced but may not show on an IMEI check for several weeks, particularly if it has been reported on home insurance. I can't claim any foul play by the seller if theres no evidence as yet.

Also contacted the seller, he said no claims have been made against the phone.

Now I'm stuck!
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
If it doesn't work on any network then it's unfit for purpose under normal consumer protection surely?

Mine showed as "blocked on 1 or more networks" but O2 (my provider) confirmed that the IMEI had been blocked when I asked them directly.
[G1 General] leoni1980:
if your G1 is blocked you're screwed...in fact technically you are handling stolen goods.

The internet will ALWAYS work on a blocked phone, it is just gsm functionality that is lost.
[G1 General] CodeMonkey:
A resolution.... of Sorts

So here I am again...

After many months of hassle, much shouting at people on the phone etc...

I have my money back!!!!

After lots of help from the police (not my local force who were less than useless) the seller has agreed a full refund. The money's cleared today today and will be returning the goods to him tomorrow through the post (the phone was released by the police).

It's all ended rather confusingly though:

1. T-Mobile UK have been obstructive throughout, even though it was them who blocked the phone. They told me that it was obtained using identity fraud which they claim that they investigated, however have failed to provide any substantive information to the police when requested (eg date of purchase, place of purchase, identity used to purchase, etc). In fact they claim to have blocked the phone 6 days before they were contacted about it - must be psychic I guess! At one point they even accused me of stealing the phone. By their actions they've guaranteed that I will NEVER be their customer.

2. eBay and PayPal have been useless (no surprise there!).

3. My police contact has been really helpful and supportive throughout. She convinced the seller to offer a full refund, and has indicated to me that she believes that T-Mobile blocked the phone in error (ie a wrongly keyed in IMEI) as they have not provided any evidence to support the phone being blocked. She has asked to be updated to make sure everything is resolved to my satisfaction and will keep monitoring the situation.

4. The seller has turned out to be quite helpful and friendly to deal with.

....

So I'm a happy man, with nearly £400 back in my wallet where it belongs (for now). And I'm eyeing up Android phones again (lol). I'm weighing up another G1, a Magic, a Samsung I7500 or a Pre - choices choices!

To anyone out there in a similar situation, I say again - Stick to your guns. Things sometimes do work out!
[G1 General] Super Chimp:
Useful thread this as I was thinking of getting a HTC Magic or G1 off ebay but this has put me right off.

Think I will wait for a SIM free i7500 instead, playing it safe.

I recently did a hard reset to remove WMWiFiRouter .91. Since then, I have been unable to find the HTC Home plugin that I previously used. I have tried the following:

HTCHome6.cab

HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.cab

HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab

HTC Home v2_1_1005722.cab

I'm finding two discrepencies between these and the one I previously used.

1. In the favorite people tab, I'm no longer able to select which phone number (work, home, cell) to store for the contact.

2. After pressing and holding the power button, the device now sleeps rather than powers off.

Can someone please help me find a plugin? I have a Sprint Mogul with the 3.56 ROM.

[Touch HD General] JR_de:
I think if you hit the call button while reading the text message it will ask you if you want to call the number.
[Touch HD General] liamhere:
yes

just highlight the number in the text you are reading and hit call :)

What am i doing wrong here?
[Touch HD General] noris08:
this is what you have to do:

1. go to your message tab from tf3d

2. chose message

3. chose the option of the lower left corner - i belive is something like "more". i have my HD in another language so i don't know exactly, but it should be something like that

4. the windows mobile list of messages will open

5. scroll to your deisred message

6. select it, but don't open it

7. press the "call" button

et voila! complicated but works!
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
Ok that worked, step 6 is hard cause when you select it, it then opens the message so you have to press back and the number is selected.

Thanks.

thai is because of missing d-pad of the HD. win some, lose some!:D

you welcome!

[HTC Vox] dicko99:
Hi there,

I just discovered the AutoKeyLock program and immediately hit the problem with "Cannot hook the keyboard". :(

So I renamed my VitoCopyPaste.exe to .eze and rebooted.

This allowed AutoKeyLock to work.

Just out of interest, I renamed VitoCopyPaste back to .exe and it ran fine. So that suggests to me that both applications can co-exist as long as AutoKeyLock is started first.

So, 65000$ question, is there any way to control the startup order?

BTW I'm running Dr. Gonzo's WM 6.1 ROM on my Vox if that makes a difference?

TIA,

Richard
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
You can't use both apps on your vox, you must choose one or the other.

Sorry.
[HTC Vox] dicko99:
That's not true! I have them both working when I automatically start AutoScreenLock and manually start copy/paste.

I can see them both in task manager, Honestly!

If I knew how to take a screen shot, I'd post it.

[HTC Vox] fireburned:
No, if autokeylock is launched first (screensaver active), vito copypaste don't work, if vito copypaste is launched first, autokeylock don't work.

It's a fact, only one soft can hook the keyboard.

Now do you believe me?

R
[HTC Vox] Phrak:
Believe you, yes that you can run both binaries at the same time.

The $65,001 question (which is what Fireburned is trying to say), is if both applications actually function when running together?
[HTC Vox] Addicted2xda:
Running the two apps is ofcourse possible, but the beauty is they wont work simultaneousely :D. Its very simple, how can two apps lock the same hardware device? Think about it. You are using a dialup modem and are already connected to some network through it, now you start and another dialer and again want to use the same modem to dialup some other network, is it possible ?
[HTC Vox] dicko99:
Yes, they both work.

Shaunak.it, I don't know too much about Windows Mobile but in other OS's you have the concept of chaining where several programs can register an interest in a particular interrupt or device.

Thinking about it, WM must support something similar, otherwise how does the screenshot program see the * key pressed whilst both AutoKeyLock & Vito Copy & Paste are running?

Returning to my original question, is there any way to control the order that programs are started at boot time?

R.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
dicko99 : I don't believe you, sorry :D

Phrak and shaunak.it : Thanks you, it's what i want to say, both applications can run simultany, but only the first launched app works.

Bye.
[HTC Vox] Addicted2xda:
Yeah! the other program will get access to the device only after the first service let go of it's hold :D
[HTC Vox] dicko99:
Video proof

Enjoy!
[HTC Vox] birdibird:
try to make an sms text message and use vitocopypaste to select some words and cut/paste it somewhere else.

you will notice it doesn't work, because a carriage return is automatically inserted when keylock releases the hook to vitocopypaste.

B****r! I only tested copy/paste on a single line field... :o

Bye bye AutoKeyLock then!

I'm currently running DCD 3.3.4 and Radio 3.42.50. You will need to know what version of WinMobile you are starting from - if it is Verizon's latest 6.1 (MR1) the instructions are different then if you are starting with WM6.0. Refer to the thread above and that should get you started...

[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Look here about getting GPS working without data(standalone GPS). I talk about the steps in the thread below. It requires you to flash a custom ROM like DCD.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
DO NOT DO AGPS FIX. This will not work for standalone gps. Follow my above posted link. Verizon MR1 locks out standalone GPS so. You will have to reflash to old stock rom then to a custom rom then change gps settings. Trust me I tried to make it work for a long time.

Not sure how to back things up since you will have a different ROM on the phone I don't think there are any backup options. But I could be completely wrong.

Well i am a complete noob and flashing a custom rom scares me a bit...Would you say that it is safe and fairly straightforward? Is it worth it just to get GPS working?

Thanks for all your help.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
I love GPS with Navizon and Garmin XT. Yes it is worth it. Using a well tested ROM like DCD 3.3.4 is safe. After you relock the phone with the old stock Rom then just follow a good unlocking thread like here.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857

Just ignore the cooking your own ROM and install DCDs. Follow DCD instructions here ignoring the 3.2.6 download and downloading 3.3.4 or his new 4.1.0.

Hello,

Is there a way to turn these mobile devices into a bluetooth keyboard/mouse?

I am aware of the gremote porject at http://gbmsoftware.com/ but am looking for a more generic way to turn the mobile device into a remote keyboard and mouse.

A generic solution would be ideal because it could be used with any system (not just PCs) including PS3s, PCs, Macs, Linux, etc.

If something like this doesn't exist, what would be involved in creating it? Would one have to write a bluetooth driver?

I am a developer but have never written a driver or written anything related to bluetooth. If someone can point me in the right direction I may be able to write this thing myself.
[General Questions and Answers] willfck4beer:
Ever any luck with this?

My Frenemy has found an app that does this with WIFI - but your point about universality strikes me as important. Not having to install a server app allows this to work on any platform. I wonder why no answers or other posts.

The EVO 4G would make a SICK remote bluetooth keyboard and mouse...

[XPERIA X1 General] domyue:
I recently updated my radio to v1.10.25.18

Now I'm getting rather poor signals from my network provider (vodafone UK)

Its always around the 2 bar mark, even when I was in central london. Sometimes it spikes to 3-4 bars but after a while it drops again.

Also, when I connect to mobile internet, the speeds are horrible!! The funny thing is that the little signal indicator changes between G, 3G and H very often.

Is this normal?? And is H the fastest??

Thanks for any help! This new phone is giving me such a headache! :(
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Yes, H is the fastest.

Well, I have a generic X1 and definitely has NO problem with signal.

But I tell you something - also faced some problems with my operator.

What I did, I started to communicate with them often.

Due to that, I got some knowledge, like many bars doesn't always mean the best coverage.

Remember, in the centers of big cities there's also overloading effect which influences sometimes the quality of calls.

I've had it and it's normal, I mean - it's not a phone.

I was doin' some research on this topic so you can trust me.

And H on X1 gets reeeeeally fast!
[XPERIA X1 General] domyue:
I have 1-2 bars when I'm on H - its REALLLLLY SLOW. Then it will switch to 3G (also slow), occasionally just G, then back to H....etc

So the G, 3G and H icons are frequently changing. Obviously there's something wrong here... Anyone else get this?
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
It's probably operators problems!

I have the same in some areas!

Also, you may be just on the border between few antennas,

so your phone picks stronger signal.

I mean, it's annoying but nothing extraordinary unfortunately.
[XPERIA X1 General] domyue:
I think I'm gonna reflash the radio.

I thought the latest one would be best, but not so. I've heard some good things about the HTC Diamond radio. Another post on this forum mentioned it increased the signal by about 2 bars.

Worth a go.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Sure.

But I bet it won't change much.

I could also compare X1 to SE P1, which has a great antenna, and no difference..
