[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxelsharif:
Hey guys,

I just recently got my HTC hero and I have a question about the messaging app. First of all, I am currently using Handcent mainly because if you use the stock app, texts always show up on the lock screen even if you are using the pattern lock. That is annoying, and I don't understand what the point of the pattern lock is if you can just see my texts without having to even unlock my phone...anyway, so I am using handcent and it's fine. I've made sure to remove notifications on the stock app so that I don't get double notifications, but my question is: is there a way to delete the stock app? I mean is the phone going to slow down since it is getting texts from 2 apps, does that make sense? Even though the notifications are disabled for the stock app, the texts still go there and they are also going to handcent...So basically i would like to know if:

1. i can delete the stock app (i have rooted my phone so...)

2. does it matter that the phone is pulling texts to two different apps

3. is there a way to make my texts not go to my lock screen, if so i would just not use handcent

Finally, on handcent, i will oftentimes get a text twice from people. does anyone have this problem?

Ok tahnks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
1. Don't delete the stock messaging app.

2. From what I've read on these forums, Handcent basically gets texts from the stock messaging app to get texts. Your phone isn't really doing twice the amount of work.

3. Hmm, I use handcent, and I disabled notifications on the stock app, and I don't see any texts from the stock app on my lock screen.

I also get texts twice once in a while. I think it has something to do with scrolling down the conversation window while the text is being received... not sure, but that's what I noticed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Look at handcent as a theme for ur stock text app.

Deleting stock would make text not work.

No way to turn that off in stock text for the lockscreen

Dbl text is the carrier at times. It happens. No way to stop it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadster92:
My experience is different, I deleted the stock app (mms.apk) and my text work just fine. As long you as you remembered to turn on auto retrieve in your handcent's setting under "Receive message settings". It has been working for me without any issue.

:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Handcent and Google Voice don't play well with one another. Handcent won't display my Google Voice number despite what the Google Voice settings say. It also behaves... oddly for me. I really wish it would work the way I want it to, though. Hot damn, is it pretty. I love the interface and the customization options. I just hate the fact that it won't play nice with Google Voice. So... ugly texting through my preferred number, it is!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Have you tried chomp sms? Similar look, not as customizable, but may play better with gv
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I have tried Chomp. But, as far as I can tell, when not sending from the Google Voice application, it tells people that it came from my cell number, not my Google Voice number. The whole point of Google Voice, at least for me, is to have one number forever, not switch between them.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
First, does anyone have one they would be willing to sell me?

Second, does anyone know where I can get one that is in good condition for less than the $100 that Verizon wants for a replacement?

I went down to the Verizon store and played with the Droid and Incredible, I'm not a big fan of the capacitive screens and I really hate the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the screen. Since the Droid X is pretty far off I think I'm going to just get another XV6900 and go back to my resistive touch screen Android bliss. I really want to try out the new Froyo builds!!!

Anyway thanks for any help you gave give!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PaceyWhitter:
Hate to tell you that while droid x is not that far off (July 15) it also has a capacitive touchscreen.

Just for my info, why don't you like a capacitive screen, that is actually one thing I am looking forward to if I ever decide to give up my SERO plan. All my friends that have newer phones think that my phone is broken when they try to use it because they don't press hard enough.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dosesdoyle:
I'd be willing to sell my vogue. It's for US Cellular. I'm upgrading to one of their Android devices. I'd sell it cheap too. PM me if you're interested.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
if you're really thinking Droid X I'd say hold out for it if you can wait the less than a month for it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
I really don't like the capacitve buttons at the bottom of the screen. But my beef with capacitve screens is that I constantly touch the screen on accident. Mainly i touch the screen with the hand holding the phone...like holding the edges of the phone and my finger slips too far onto the screen. I'm sure with enough time I could get used to it, but I really don't like it.

Pm sent.

Edit: Can anyone speak to how I would go about activating a US Cellular phone with Verizon?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Can't, only verizon phones can be activated on verizon. Short of breaking the law you can't.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
Well damn. Anyone selling a Verizon Vouge?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
Probably a silly question but I have the following problem:

I have 3 cards (Orange and 2 x T-Mobile). When I put either T-Mobile SIM in my phone, it requests a SIM network unlock PIN. I have the option of entering this in or clicking a dismiss button which will take me pass this screen but doesn't register onto the GSM network. This doesn't happen on my Orange SIM as this registers straight away onto the GSM network.

All 3 SIM cards do not request a PIN when I use them with two other phones that I have (HTC Hero and HTC TyTn 2).

On the SGS I have tried the pins 0000, 12345 and 1234 which are default PINs that I recall. I've checked the manual for the SGS and the literature that came with my T-Mobile SIM card and neither give any hints about a default PIN or about a SIM network unlock PIN.

I'm not sure if the PIN request is coming from the phone or the SIM card. I'm guessing it's coming from the phone but I don't know why it doesn't request this when I use my Orange SIM card.

I purchased the phone SIM free. The Orange SIM is a PAYG and the two T-Mobile SIMs are pay monthly contracts. I know all 3 SIMs work without PINs in my other phone.

Can anyone help? I'm assuming I'm missing something really simple but can't figure out what. I've already tried a dozen google searches with no luck. Please please help. I feel I'm being deprived of my 2 hour old SGS phone :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
I've now taken a video of the boot up sequence to show you what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D-RvvCK2bM

Can anyone confirm or refute whether this is happening on their SGS too? It seems like it's a Security Code on the handset but I can't find any setting for such a code.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n4nick:
Don't think your phone is actually SIM free... no issues here using any SIM I like (purchased from Unlocked Mobiles). Where did you get yours?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
I purchases it from handtec. I don't think it is Sim free for the following reasons:

1. It was listed as Sim free

2. The box it came in also seems to indicate it is Sim free

3. There is no carrier logo on the phone or anything it came with

4. Seems to work with my Orange Sim card (which implies the phone came from orange if it was Sim free and this phone hasn't been released on Orange).

I'm guessing by the single thread reply that no one else has come into this issue before? And it's probably not just a simple default security code?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
I don't know if this will help, but when I was asked for a sim code on a new Nokia phone, about two years ago, I rang Voda and asked for the pin code. In your case you would need to ask T Mobile.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mcleancraig:
I have the exact same issue with my Galaxy from Handtec which arrived today. I hope they aren't selling sim-locked phones as sim-free... Time to call Voda...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mcleancraig:
Ok, apparently it's a known issue. Just spoke to handtec, they say they got a batch of phones from Samsung which are locked to Orange. Call them for a replacement/refund. Don't mess about with the phone support line, it just points you to the website and disconnects you, call them and speak to sales. 01733 298500
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
Ah ok, that makes sense and which is why my Orange SIM card worked but not T-Mobile. I may have come to this conclusion if I had a Vodafone and O2 SIM knocking about.

Thanks for the info. Will be returning the phone for a replacement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
@n4nick: It appears as though you were right although the phone doesn't look like an Orange locked phone. Orange are notorious for plastering their big ugly logo on the physical phone and all over the software. They even put their logo on the box, accessories and manuals. This phone really looks like a SIM free version.

I wonder if the Orange locked batch were due to go to Orange for them to do their usual carrier differentiation before they then go out to customers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] enacu:
Hi!, I've bought Samsung Galaxy S from handtec too and I get the same message: sim network unlock pin. I've just sent request to Handtec support.

What about you? Did you somehow unlock? Or did you change your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
Speak to Handtec about it and get a replacement or a refund as the item sent out is the wrong item. As mentioned previously, I believe the mistake was from Samsung as they sent a batch of Orange locked handsets as unlocked handsets which Handtec then sold accordingly. Handtec seem to be handling the whole mixup very well with good customer service so you should be ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] UltimaRB:
Yeah I'm experiencing this issue as well. Phone worked fine for 7 days then today out of nowhere I get the SIM network unlock PIN alert upon startup. I contacted Handtec and this is all they had to say.

I can't be bothered with sending it back and being without a phone for atleast a week.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Techno79:
Legally they have to give you a full refund including the postage cost for both ways. Therefore you could purchase a new handset while you are in the process of getting a refund for the existing one. You'll know if it is an Orange locked phone because there was one or two Orange specific applications pre-installed on the phone.

If it was working before and not now then it's possible it could be a different issue though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n1kon:
I work for t-mobile and samsung sent us some unbranded phones that were locked to orange by mistake. That chances are we wernt the only ones to receive them
[Galaxy S I9000 General] podger32:
had this problem myself on O2

went to store to use their phone to ring around (they were sorry)

after time on the line with O2 support they had no answers, so i rang samsung

samsung took literally seconds on the phone, i said about the 'sim network unlock pin' and he simply turned round and said its dead, a dead chipset thats in every phone they sent out in the last week, i was told this on friday 11th

samsung then spoke to the staff at the O2 store and advised them to mark all other galaxys they had as 'dead on arrival' and return them and for others to do the same

looks like a big batch issue so best thing u can do is send your dodgy one back like i have done, hopefully this replacement will work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
I just got the Network Unlock PIN Message myself randomly after a reboot 7 days after purchase.

Has anyone tried using a TurboSIM to see if it works?

Sad thing is it was working one day and then broke the next.

Pretty bad that we have to pay postage to get their doa replaced. ( Specially considering that's about $50 for me. )

EDIT: Does anyone know what the STOCK firmware was when you got your handtec handset? ( From what I can tell it could be XXJF3. )

EDIT2: Success! After contacting Handtec they sent me a code to use, it seems to have permanently network unlocked my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] UltimaRB:
After a few emails with Handtec they were able to provide me with an unlock code after giving them my IMEI number. All is good again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] citifone:
I have a similar problem with T959 from TMobile USA. The phone was obviously locked to TMobile but I got the code from TMobile, entered it and phone was unlocked. My customer took home, used it for about a week and now the phone is network lock again and ask for network pin. So I enter the same code that was used to unlock it but now it DOES NOT work. So strange. But this happened before on other android phone and it worked, just re-enter the code. Anyone has a solution yet on this problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
aaarrrggghhhh!

I have same problem but.... the unlock code Handtec sent me does not work :mad:

I have tried every method I can find on the internet to enter the unlock code (eg #0111*code#, #7465625*638*code# and even #7465625*638*# which pops up with a seperate box to enter the unlock code) and each time it fails. I've even done this after various full hardware resets.

Hantec have said the phone might be faulty with a software problem and to send it back to them.

I am in Cyprus and its going to cost me 50 euro to send it back. If I had paid an extra 50 euro on the Handtec price I could have bought it locally! Doh!

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
To enter the code you should put a SIM in, and start the phone, it will ask you straight away...

If you attempted to enter wrong codes too many times it will stop asking you and your phone is permanently locked until you return it to the manufacturer.

Oh noes, mine better not relock... :\

Just out of curiosity, how many 5's does your code have?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
My code is 8 digits long and contains just one 5

Just out of curiosity, why do you ask? ;)

oh, and I've tried entering the code I was given many times when it asks on start up and it just says unsuccessful. After many attempts (just tapping dismiss) it has not stopped asking for it each start up. Weird, does not follow with what you say about entering it too many times.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
Oh I was told that by someone else, obviously I wasn't just about to test their theory.

Ok I was just checking the code they gave you was different to mine, it's based of your IMEI, it doesn't make sense it shouldn't work.

My code worked, for now anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
Further to this, my phone is demonstrating something which has been discussed in another thread... even though I dismiss the network unlock box my phone can still receive calls, but cannot make them. ho hum.

Handtec are not forthcoming with a reply when I asked them to double check the code they sent me. :mad:

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
I think you should check the IMEI you sent them. :P

You can receive calls?! Then it's not network locked. :\ It's broken.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
The SGS, like most phones, has an option which you can select that requires you to enter a pin everytime you switch sim cards. Are you sure this is not enabled?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
I've run out of options now so have no choice but to return it to Handtec. They have confirmed they will refund the postage. I just won't have my shiny new Galaxy S for another week or two :(

Hey ho... at least it will then be a shorter wait for the official Froyo update from Samsung in September! hehe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
They haven't offered to refund my postage. EDIT: Now they have, after I include the proof of postage with the parcel itself?

My phone just asked for the code after flashing JM5 but the old code worked again.

:(

I can live with it only asking for the code after a full flash, but I don't get to find out if that's the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
Hopefully you haven't already sent it back, you can now unlock all Galaxy S phones. Maybe they gave you the wrong number.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
I had sent it back just as that unlock announcment was made I think.

Anyway, Handtec are now out of stock so I am getting a refund.

I have purchased one locally after negotiating a discount to get it a bit closer to the Handtec price (still €40 more though).

Anyway... the new phone is missing the handy Running Apps/Task Manager widget which was on the home screen and when you did a long press of the home button there was a button which took you to a task manager where you could close running apps and get some other info.

Anyone know what this app is called so I can go find it and install it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
You just had a newer Samsung firmware on the other device. You probably have JF3 now, correct me if I'm wrong (dial *#1234#) on your keypad to see what firmware you have. You can upgrade your firmware to something newer, then you'll get the task manager back.

Btw, it has been confirmed that the unlock codes are stored in the devices themselves...you have have to do a little digging and you can unlock them yourself, if the store you bought them from is not cooperating... There is another thread that explains how to unlock your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
guys, the unlock tool is out

why don't you guys just unlock the thing and forget about this firmware flashing issue reactivating the sim lock code
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtonthecat:
I actually have JF5. just downloaded JM5 which looks like the latest stable stock firmware and Odin and the PIT files (whatever they are!) and about to go through the tutorial from samsungfirmwares and see if I can do this without bricking it!

Wish me luck!

Mark
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Camineet:
Tim182,

Can you or anyone else point out the location of this option in the phone? I'd like to see if turning it off resolves the problem.

Many Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
Because no one with locked phones demonstrated that this issue was present.

Not only was the phone supposed to be factory unlocked, it just re-locks itself.

It could be anything from faulty hardware to a corrupt nand sector.

Besides I also returned mine immediately after to the unlock code thread surfacing.

Handtek said they will have stock in soon, so I plan to wait a little bit before requesting a refund.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] citifone:
For everyone's info, this model, T959, i9000, and i897 at&t USA, are able to unlock by NSPro box now. The problem is that it needs master code in order to permanently unlocked and the box can read both master code and network unlock code. If anyone doesn't know what's NSPro box is just go to mobile phone shop and ask for it. It should not cost that much to unlock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jpnelson40:
I have had exactly the same problem with the Samsung Vibrant from T-mobile; I spent an hour with one of their techs on an online chat line today, and ended up being told that I would need to exchange the phone when I returned to USA from UK. My Lebara chip had worked fine for several days before getting the SIM pin request again; I tried another local T-mobile SIM chip with the same unlock dialog, but my USA chip works fine. So the phone has flipped into a locked state and the proper unlock code no longer works. Sigh...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wonkothesane_ca:
Mine just started doing the same thing. It is from Bell in Canada, I got them to unlock it 3 weeks ago and have used it on my Telus account (only three months left!), and for 3 weeks it was fine...until today. I pulled out the battery, put it back in, and the same message popped up. No data, no outgoing calls, still on Telus and still receives calls. WTF?! Neither Bell nor Telus are able to help, and Samsung says I have to go through the carrier! Who? No one has a clue what to do! If anyone can figure this out, I'd definitely buy you a beer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pavadomi:
I have the same issue as wonko... After putting in a new battery yesterday, the SIM Network Unlock Pin alert appeared. I tried putting in the unlock code found on the SGS but that didn't work. And like Wonko, I can still receive phone calls but cannot make any ourgoing calls.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wooleeacre:
Sim Network Unlock Pin- Help

I was directed here from another forum. It doesn't seem like this person ever got this whole mess resolved...

I have been looking for an answer for a MONTH>>> AT & T says it's not their sim card problem, and Samsung says it's a network problem... Who do I start squeezing to get the right answer...

Help.. Below is the note I posted.

Need a stellar techno guru!!! (Help) re: samsung android - New!

by wooleeacre - March 30, 2011 5:37 PM PDT

Do you know everything or anything about these phones? .. I have been around and around with Samsung and At&t. They each say it is the other's responsibility. I have been to android forums, samsung forums, no one seems to respond.

I somehow got this message on my new galaxy phone.. just this way

>>SIM unlock network PIN<<

>> enter a code <<

>> unlock <<

>> dismiss <<

I have replaced the sim, which they were sure was the problem.

If I take out the sim card, I go right to the start up, internet works fine, apps all work fine.

If the sim is in, it goes to this first screen, I can choose >>dismiss<< and this takes me to start up home page.

BUT... there is NO NETWORK!!!

any clues????

NO one seems to be able to help me with REAL solutions.... I have been able to use my new phone for a total of 14 out of 90 days.... BOO!
