[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dadittoz:
That's not entirely true. I unlocked my UK Orange locked Galaxy S. Just google for "NCK code samsung galaxy s". It cost me about $30 to get NCK code, but the shop I bought it from refunded me this amount. It was their fault to send me a locked phone instead of unlocked.

As for procedure of unlock... you just enter the code when you see a prompt for sim unlock code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GTC BLACK:
but if i will root it, i will not need any codes right?

i will be able to use it with any sim i want.....?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
No. The SIM-lock remains after rooting and/or flashing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GTC BLACK:
soo there is not way to unlock it using a free method?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
you can get unlock code here: http://cellunlocker.net/ they charge 25$ and it takes about 2 days to get you the code...

have fun
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Berserk87:
Anyone know if they would have the unlock codes for the captivate/vibrant?

All of the people in those forums that ive seen have tried unlock sites, and they ended up being refunded because an unlock code wasn't available.

[Wildfire General] rohillamanish:
i recently purchased a htc wildfire and syncd my facebook account with htc sence. Initially it worked like a charm adding facebook information and pics of all my phone contacts. But later when i changed my facebook password on the site, and created a new account on facebook for htc sence on my phone as i had to modify its password, the account was created successfully and it also updates evrything. But now i dont have any of my facebook contacts or contact information and pictures of my phone contacts that were synced with facebook. All the remaining features like Friendstream work perfectly and show all the updates. Please help.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
I have the exact same problem.

However it appears its a common bug in the HTC Sense Facebook for Android 2.1.

I am going to contact HTC by mail to see what's up.
[Wildfire General] rohillamanish:
plz do tell me if you get any solutn for the problem...u can post it here or email me on rohillamanish@yahoo.co.in
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
I have not yet gotten a response from HTC.

I googled for some longer time.

Apparently, Facebook broke something and they are trying to fix it.

I am afraid the only thing is to wait.

Dear Jxxx Pxxx,

Thank you for contacting us about your issue. Currently we are still in analysis and will issue a notification on our website once we have reached a conclusion.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
It worked for a while but does not update anymore.
[Wildfire General] rohillamanish:

Hi everyone. I have some trouble that there are some copies of every contact in my phonebook. It seems that Sim, Phone and Google contacts are displayed. I just want to see only Phone contacts for example when Im choosing people to send sms... How to??
[Legend General] Kame_boy:
If you press menu and show, you can choose which contacts to see. A tip: sync with Google contacts only, and edit your contacts from Google contacts on your Pc. You can merge contacts etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilmunny:
Hi,

My USB connection is broken and i need to send my phone for repair. Most of the methods for getting the phone back to stock involve an RUU that works over USB. Since i do not have this luxury i have flashed the generic WWE hero rom and stock radio. But what about the recovery image etc?

Once i had flashed the generic stock rom and radio i got a notification about the OTA. I thought, great, this will take me back to official software with recovery image etc. However when it asked if i wish to install the update and i said yes it got to the recovery image and threw some error at me so it wont flash the OTA.

EDIT: the error i get is

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

E: No signature (216 files)

E: Verification failed

Installation Aborted

Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have a link to a zip that i can flash from recovery that will take everything back to default including the recovery image?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:
Sorry but you can't reset to default without a usb connection (BTW the default for a hero would be 1.5 ROM which it came with). By that being said a mini usb is very common (like for some cameras, external harddrives etc.) are you sure you don't have one laying around? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilmunny:
not the cable its the port

Hi,

It's not the cable thats broken it's the port. Is there really no other way to restore without using the usb port??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilmunny:
solution!

For all those naysayers that said it could not be done!

First i found a super old stock rom on modaco, one with a kernal that allowed the use of flashrec.

Then i found some nice person that had posted a backup of their recovery image. I copied that recovery backup to the sd card and used flashrec to restore it so now i have the stock recovery image and stock rom.

Only problem now is for some reason the device is not telling me that an OTA update is due. It did this for every other stock rom that i tried so i am a bit concerned i am now stuck with the oldest stock rom....

Any ideas? ....agian?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ante0:
I would just send it in for repair. Then root it from 1.5 when you get it back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilmunny:
Ok, i think i might. :)

Is there any chance they could tell i have been messing with it, for example it has the oldest stock ROM installed on it, is this not slightly suspisious?? Maybe the radio version is slightly newer than the ROM version? I know these guys will look for any excuse not to honour my warranty.

Or is it perfectly ok as long as all the software on it is standard android / htc stuff?

Thanks for all your advice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfn:
settings > privacy> factory data reset ....

try that if it helps

Is it possible that it messed up your settings cause you used someone else's recovery image?

you could go htc website and try to install the official 2.73 rom and then upate to the 2.1 ota from there

obiously you will loose root if your phone was rooted but you can always unroot if you have your goldcard.img

Hello i started a thread over at the evo app section but i think this is a better place for this.

I want to use my evo (or any android device or phone) to act as a bluetooth keyboard for my ps3 so that way while i play online or use the web i can just use my phone. Ther is an app calle PRemoteDroid that uses this concept but i can't seem to pair it with my ps3. Any ideas or devs out there looking forward to turn this into a possible project? I don't have a lot of money but i can may've donate what i can? Thank you!
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
Did a search, but "A2DP Volume" returns mainly headset reccomendations etc.

Just got a Altec lansing T515. Bargain at just £15 inc p+p!

Paired up fine with the HD2 and seems to work great so far (for the price).

My only dissapointment is that the volume controls on the phone do nothing to the volume of the headset/speakers.

I was really planning on getting some good use out of this wireless audio through a better amp and speakers but would really need to be able to use the HD2 as a remote control (Inc volume control).

Is there an app/utility/reg hack that will let me adjust the A2DP volume directly on the HD2???

Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] edsonbarron5:
try it with windows media player and not the htc sense music player
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
Thanks mate, tried that.... same deal (almost).

When I adjust the volume inside WMP it still does nothing to the volume of the speaker/headset BUT when I press the mute button or lower the vol to 0% the sound on the BT Speaker DOES mute.

Also at one point I did get some funky 'pairing' problem where the wireless volume was changing using the HD2 volume rocker but the sound quality was terrible. Not sure what happened but I switched off/on bluetooth and when the devices paired again - the sound was back to good quality but the volume no longer worked. :confused: :rolleyes:

Can anyone please confirm that I should be able to control the volume using the HD2 on ANY A2DP headset/speaker?

I'm currently using EnergyRom Maxsense 23xx 24th July.

Might switch to the 21July 23121 CHT ROM instead to see if that changes things.

But can anyone first please confirm that this SHOULD be working? or let me know of a regHack /cab/app I need to use or apply to get this 'remote volume' working?
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
Anyone help on this ^^^ please? :confused:
[HD2 General] thecrater:
Same problem here with expensive Sony headset and reasonably priced JVC. Report it to HTC as a fault. No fix yet afaik
[HD2 General] edsonbarron5:
hmm well im getting my jaybird sportsband in a few days through mail, ill report in on if they work or not
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
This problem i have with all my bluetooth headsets ( i have had 3 ) and also have with the altec lansing soundblade (a bluetooth speaker - really cool)

the problem is that the volume control in software only effects the audio drive,a but A2D2 driver is on a different path so not affected.

For me has not been a problem because volume is always outputted at max via A2D2 and then i use volume control on the headsets or the speaker to reduce as required.

But i see if you have a headset without volume control then this can be a major problem.

Only method i did find to adjust volume via software was install SRSwow and in the options it is having 2 gain settings, input and output. Adjusting these does affect A2D2 volume.

I know its not a fix but it is a work around that may be usefull untill someone has a better option for you
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
Thanks very much for your input peeps!

rumpleforeskin: (Funniest name Ive seen all week lol)

Sounds like its not just a problem with my headset/speaker (or headset / ROM combo).

Ive got volume controls (which do work) On the headset adapter and on the speaker, but I REALLY want/need to be able to control volume remotely as I was planning to link the adapter to an amp without a remote control.

Looks like SRSWow might be the solution for now....I'll give it a try and report back tonight.

Thanks again for all your help chaps.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I actually fear this could be a demonstration the output audio is hardware wired and not software driven, thus meaning full incall recording will never be possible.
[HD2 General] edsonbarron5:
doubt it man, on the iphone 3gs on 3.0 u couldnt switch the volume of the headset through the phone but now with the 4.0 software u can , so its just a case of misssing software.
[HD2 General] cubalibre79:
I use tcpmp and I can control the volume from the software while using my BT headsets (peltor)
[HD2 General] thesweeney:
Tried this ^^^, Works great for everything, thanks!

Only slight problem is a ~4 second lag between adjusting the volume and the change in actual volume.

Dont suppose there is any tweak to remedy this??

Thanks again for the help.

This ^^^ works perfect! No lag when changing volume or anything! Great for music and video.

Thank you very much!

Cheers guys.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
So who all has driven by Coors Field and tested 4G? It was super slow traffic tonight due to construction so I gave it a whirl. Got one bar of 4G and achieved a 2.7Mbps download and .5 upload.

I have not found 4G anywhere else sadly but its good to know that even at such a crappy signal strength, the speed its twice as fast as Qwest's base DSL package.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Nice! I am vacation right now but will check this out when I get home. Woo hoo 4G in Denver!
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I've heard rumors that the Sprint building (call center) on Inverness has 4G too but I haven't driven out to confirm or deny that yet...

Here's that address

333 Inverness Drive South

Englewood, CO 80112-5882

If I wasn't so damn tired I'd take a trip out there tonight but maybe someone can confirm or deny this for me.

EDIT: Interesting... download the map viewer app from the Market... It looks like people have confirmed 4G in broomfield near interlocken and also near invesco running all the way from the 5 points corridor of 25 down to santa fe, with a huge bubble over invesco itself. Nothing about Inverness but one I think most people turn their 4G off since it kills battery when its scanning and two, I don't think many would be driving next to the Sprint call center. This app actually tracks your coverage and anonymously uploads your statistics periodically. Pretty neat.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Fantastic, I didn't know this app existed, nice!! I actually work right off of lincoln and i-25, minutes from inverness. While I don't specifically get 4G here in the office, I can drive by there over my lunch break and see if I can't get a signal. Thanks for the tip!

[EVO 4G General] g12345:
I live in Westminster and can pick up a weak 4G signal at my house, right around 36 and Sheridan.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
ok, so I drove by the call center on Inverness drive over my lunch break, and I didn't get jack squat. I'm not entirely sure, however, that my 4G is even connecting at all. Here's why - I normally get it in KC at my house, and didn't when I was there last week. When I was driving back to denver, I had 4G on as I drove on i-25 past coors field, and also didn't connect at all. So, I'm not sure it's not my Evo.

I did update to the latest radio and wimax radio in the hopes that it would help, but no luck yet. I'm thinking about driving up to the 4G area on the map application this evening to do some more troubleshooting. It'd be great if someone else could drop by the Sprint Call center to verify.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I had 2 bars of 4G in the parking lot of Elitches recently. I don't know if there's signal inside the park because I wasn't about to bring my phone into that electronics death trap.
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
I also went to the Sprint call center on Inverness a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't pick up any 4G either. I sat in the parking lot a good 15 minutes fiddling with my phone to try and pick something up.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
Hey guys, I can confirm FULL Bars 4G coverage at Sloan Lake.. I was there Saturday for the dragon boat races. I can also confirm 4G on 6th going west right at 25 and held it all the way to Wordsworth once... maybe 1 to 2 bars strength, usually low.

My typical speeds on speed test app are around 3-3.7mb down and 1mb up.

go hit sloans lake for sure though if you are ever in the area.. I had full signal.

My typical speeds on speed test app are around 3-3.7mb down and 1mb up. Not as fast as other cities I've heard, but since we aren't official yet I won't jump to any conclusions. Can anyone offer opinions on whether the speeds I get now when in 4G are what we should expect to see when we go live? Any reasons to think otherwise?

go hit sloans lake for sure though if you are ever in the area.. I had full signal.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
I'll have to try Sloans Lake, but I went up by coors, elitch and invesco and wasn't able to get any sort of signal at all. I was in the big green blob area within the Map app from the market, so I think there's something wrong with my installation of Fresh 1.01. I was running the beta and didn't flash from the previous betas as he said it wasn't necessary.

I have had it before in KC, but not since I came to this version of Fresh rom. Will try to flash and go check again later this week. Bummer.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Sloan's Lake? REALLY? I'm going to meet with my bankruptcy attorney on Monday... she's on 17th and Sheridan... might as well drive the little bit to Sloan's Lake and check it out.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Sooooooooooooooooooooo.... no screeenshots buried was at edgewater condos from 17th by alameda. I got 4g indoors at 4-7 megs per second........ indoors. I maintained that signal from one bar to none to 2 until I passed Broadway when it faded... but the speeds were incredible. However. Battery... pulled it off at 130 dead at 930 with minimal usage. WiFi would have doubled it. This was with the latest radio and wimax....
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Okay so more 4G testing today. Seems to run from about Broadway all the way west to Kendall on Colfax and it runs down Sheridan to 6th Ave and then dies around Federal then picks up at 6th and 25 on a new tower... very fast speeds and very consistent and reliable connection. Even while driving around, I got 8megs.

Has anyone else done any testing?
[EVO 4G General] DaveMW:
Nothing in Boulder yet. I work right on Pearl, but I drive by interlocken everyday, I'll have to see how it is in traffic.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
I still haven't been able to connect to 4G at all since I've been in Denver. I'm not convinced that I haven't fried it somehow. I have updated the wimax radio and updated PRL and profile, and I have also verified that my MAC address is fine, which others had issues with.

At this point, I'm ready to test it, and might drive up that way tonight to check it. the couple times I tested (prior to updating PRL and profile, hoping this might be the culprit) I was driving on I-25 by Invesco and Coors. Should I be able to get 4G while in the car and driving? Otherwise, where is a good place to test 4G that will be on and up at all times? I need a control for my test, ha :)

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
I doubt you'd get it just driving by on I-25 (I didn't). I did turn it on to check while AT Coors Field, and a got signal. VERY weak signal (and not consistent), but it was still twice as fast as my fastest 3G Speed Test. :)

Roll out the 4G! I got my extra batteries.

Hell if your going to sign up for another plan you mas as well just pay full retail for the phone because its going to eat you up with early termination fees. Or you can always hit up ebay you might find a new never opened clean esn phone
