[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
it is good to hear that you are actually happy with what you paid for. :)

i have contacted this sweden_GSM right after i read your early post few weeks ago and never got back from them. then i turned to mobile canada, unlockingcell, or whatever the name they call themselfs. none of them were able to get my code or cable solution. you might be lucky that you actually can get hold of sweden_GSM and unlocked your phone.

because no one can get code for AT&T's X10a right now, so they turned to cable solution. did they tell you what has been done on your phone? and is it a permanent solution? just wanna make sure, so others can actually benefit from our little discussion. then people can choose whatever they want.

oh, i'm sorry if i offended you, but bill gates? :p not trying to be rude here, but are you kidding me?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
I have tried to get my unlock code from ebay, cellularunlockers..etc ...etc...I always came back with nothing. They all offered the cable thing. I did not trust that. I am very happy with what Lancez provided me which is the FACTORY UNLOCK CODE! Not some weird cable and software etc etc..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Strange - completely different experience. In my case he answered pretty fast. That was one of the reasons I paid him and according to other people experience was almost complete sure it works. Code unlockers usually answered too (not all of them) and told that they don't have my IMEI in their bases, never mentioned cable.

As I understand, it works anyway through manufacturer. Services, who offer codes, take them from code bases that can be both types - from carriers or from manufacturer. This is why some guys can unlock several carriers only, but others can unlock virtually any cell. Any carrier has special department that works with setting problems, like locks and they can contact manufacturer for codes or other help, but they have rules depending on a carrier. This is why some Denmark carrier easily unlock phones, when TMO UK doesn't - different rules. The cable solution is the direct use of original SE service named EMMA. This service don't need to know your IMEI, it designed to custom setup your device. Maybe EMMA generates codes as well, but look like it depends on unlocker's connections inside SE team. I bet you remember AP article about turning down unlocker's network in France - I think, it changes some rules for unlocking.

I am pretty common person and for years since my student years visit some spots in Seattle, like local pubs. As I know, people there didn't see any changes in me since I stopped by walking down street in student's years or driving my lovely Porsche 959 Coupe now. If you knew me, you wouldn't even think, that I could build any spying modules to my Precious Windows, sneaky little hobbitses!

Of course, I am absolutely serious!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
You'll be surprised, but I bet cable way is the original manufacturer's procedure. ;) Google SE EMMA. I used to read one log of one failed cable unlocking procedure when "servers were down" and there was pretty interesting message about missed dongle. And this weird software was made by manufacturer too. Just do some math.;)

But I can not be sure how legally clean both of procedures are. This long, long pause in service hints that both are little businesses of somebody's from SE, maybe even the same person. ;) Or cleaning from those, who use this as official and their personal services both.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
You have a point. But, I still believe that the factory unlock code in the safest and most legit way of unlocking a phone. Just my 2 cents :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
i agree with che kirila about cable method. it is indeed, a working solution.

but think about this, since your phone has to be in flash mode and all, and someone has to control your computer remotely through windows live messenger. what if something went wrong? power outage, internet got cut off, etc. then what are you going to do? it's gonna cost you much more than 40 bucks, not to mention the frustration that you have to carry. and i bet they are not going to refund your $$$$ or give you a replacment for your bricked phone. coz they can just simply put it all on you. the cable method should only be performed at SE authorized location for warranty or repair purpose.

with unlocking code, there is no risk, no hassle, nothing. all you need to do is just pop in another sim card and put those numbers correctly. then you are good to go.

just my thoughts :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
I wrote my 2 cents earlier, so they are more valuable. Inflation, you know... ;)

I can agree with you, if this code is really from manufacturer. But how can you be sure, when you receive it not from SE directly?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Well, yes. I had Lancez get it for me. I entered it in the unlock code screen when prompted and it worked. So it is most definitely the SE code otherwise it will not have worked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Errr... "control your computer remotely through windows live messenger." I like this part! ;)

Usually this kind of service get new customers through references, so I am pretty sure to get refund or, that is more likely, eventually get my phone alive. As I mentioned before, unlocking process went wrong at the first attempt, so this guy did second attempt. I had similar experience with Davinci team - they reseted my credit and repeated the procedure. Of course, it is better to do everything officially, but it works if you get you phone officially too. Look - I am TMO US customer, traditionally, this TMO branch never offer SE flagships and moreover, use european frequencies for their 3G network. So the only way to get compatible phone is to buy it at non-local market. But you know that any warranty is strictly local, so my phone wouldn't be covered.

In case of code unlocking you take some risk too. If something went wrong you have to prove that you did everything correct and unlockers require video for refund, where is clearly visible what you did - your IMEI and code you entered and they should be similar to what you send and receive from them. You get back your money, but not the code counter. In worst case scenario you'll get your phone bricked when you done all attempts you had. After that the only option is cable that is originally manufacturer's procedure.

So, as usual, the main issue is trust. ;) We both were lucky with our choices. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Not necessary, but it was just correct code. But who cares about the source, when it worked? ;) Originally, it was, of course, from SE, but your particular one could be from other level. Nobody shares sources. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
True. But, at least I know from personal experience that Lancez's source is legit! :P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
For particularly your IMEI. :P Such general conclusions should be supported by statistically proven representative sample.:P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
you got that right, buddy. and sorry about the live messenger thing, i dont even know why i wrote it :D

to be honest with you, all SE unlock codes are worldwide, if you can get code for one carrier then you can get codes for all SE, if you have the access. i can tell you that much.

there is no such thing as "we can not get code for AT&T but we can unlock Rogers, bell, etc". in your case Tmo UK. clearly, those online unlcoking sites do not have the real access or connections to get codes, seems to me like they can only do regional work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Don't be sorry - it was really funny. Actually the control through live messenger was taken over me for downloading, installing some software and handling the phone and it was successful. ;)

I never doubt that SE unlock codes are worldwide. But the key is the access. Why "third-party" unlockers are regional? I think, they use carrier's codebases that are parts of full SE base. Researching this subject I found some stories, when customers asked their carriers to unlock their phones and the unlock code didn't work. After that carrier asked for some time to get the correct code from manufacturer and it took some weeks. If they had full access to the base, it wouldn't be so long. I tried official way too - with my carrier and they said me, that they don't have codes of phones from other carriers and advised me to contact TMO UK.

I think all those complications are from the way that all those guys do their businesses. Why a half grand phone is offered from a carrier for a fifty? Are they crazy or philanthropists? Of course not - they have fine prints in your agreement. So you pay full price for the phone eventually. As middlemen, carriers have similar agreements with phone manufacturers and both invented their dirty trick with locking. Legally they are unable to force customers to stay with them forever, so they have to unlock phones by customer's request, but legally they can establish their own procedures that definitely not pretty friendly to customers. Is it wonderful environment for shadowy or even black market of unlocking, isn't it? So everybody's happy - manufacturers and carriers at least partially protected their profit and created new jobs for small businesses for unlocking. And I suspect that manufacturers officially have their part in unlocking business profit too.

But we should thank our current carriers for such rules since others are real... errr... even longer, than four letters. For example, Straight Talk locks their phones by unique device numbers and hold the number base. So you can unlock their phone and use it somewhere else, but you can not use unlocked phone in their network unless you buy it from them and they has its number is in the base. They are Mobile Virtual Network operator that uses historically Verizon with different technology without IMEI (I don't remember the abbreviation), but now they have agreement with T-Mobile, but with similar restrictions.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mista Panda:
To all who read this, one thing i did to debrand it from AT&T which means taking all the restrictions from AT&T off such as not allowing for you to install 3rd party apps other than the ones from Android Market, now i wouldn't recommend this for anyone who isnt very computer savvy...its to flash your phone...which is what i did and i havnt had any problems

The guy i used is

BluechipJ on YouTube

this guy i have seen around and recognized on XDA so i trusted him, pretty good work, now this method doesn't allow to unlock, just to debrand
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
Hi all,

I have a weird issue with Kies. When I have my Galaxy S in Kies mode and connect it via USB, on my PC Kies shows the device connecting on the upper-right while the Galaxy S screen starts flashing the 'Kies connecting' screen open and closed constantly and keeps doing that until I unplug. The 'device connecting' box in Kies never changes either.

Has anyone had this issue or know how to resolve it? :confused:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
is there an android app that makes the phone think you are on wifi when on 3g? with the new wifi calling coming i would like to be able to do it via 3g. is there a way to do this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmstc:
What in the world are you talking about? The wifi calling app will use your T-Mobile phone number and minutes, emulating your cell signal. Why would you want to emulate something that's emulating what you're trying to emulate with?

I hope you aren't asking about how to falsify your usage, but even if you are it isn't possible through T-Mobile's wifi calling app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
let me explain i want to know wether or not it is possible to make your phone think that its 3G/4G signal is wifi? there is an app that does for the iphone and i was wondering if we could get this also. i asked because if so would it be possible to do the wifi calling over the 3/4G network?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehtide:
Again... why would you want to do this? If you have 3G/4G use your regular cell radio.

The WiFi calling isn't free... it uses your minutes on your plan. So essentially you would be hurting yourself twice... using minutes as well as eating away at your 5GB limit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unforgiven512:
I can see that concept being useful in other situations, such as using skype or frostwire, or something to that effect over 3G, but the man has a point. You use your minutes and your data just to make a phone call? Plus you also get sub-par quality due to the large amount on extra latency introduced?

There are only two situations I can think of that WiFi calling over 3G may be useful. One, you have the Hotspot@Home feature ($9.99/mo) on your plan, making WiFi calls free and unlimited, or two, you have a non-T-Mobile SIM in the phone, and you are, hypothetically, out of the country, and would like to use your cell phone as a cell phone, and not have to be near a WirelessAP.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papeshfoo:
Lol....wow
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
I was jsut using wifi calling as an example. it currently bugs me that we have frostwire working on the phone yet we need to have wifi active to use it. i was just wondering if doing something like that is possible? it would make my life a whole lot easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayshunist:
I saw a cracked Skype app that will call over 3G, but I'm not sure about frostwire.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rex450se:
Another benefit I could see, is that I think if you leave the wifi area you drop the call. But if it would treat the cell signal as still wifi you wouldn't drop the call.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
thats what i mean but is this possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmstc:
Nope, cell handoff is the technology that UMA provides, and at a hardware level. The T-Mobile wifi calling app is a software solution and not true UMA, and is not capable of this.

Also if you want to use frostwire or skype or whatever over 3G, you will have to mod the app itself (if it is even possible, but it's more likely T-Mobile has a filter on this sort of traffic)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
One example: NFL app. If you use 3G it won't let you play videos (probably because they can tell you're not on Verizon).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewy106:
Apparently per the NFL app thread, it's only T-Mobile users that are getting no video over cell networks. I've seen multiple other carrier users say it works fine for them there. Which kinda sucks...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enculturation:
Yes. Google Voice. However, you'll be assigned a different number.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eremeya:
There is a cracked version of skype that works over 3G/4G. I used it on a 30 min. phone call with a friend in China and the call quality was as good or better than most cell calls I've had within the US

About my3g

Hi everyone, so the issue is why I need to simulate a wifi conection, well there several good reason, but the important one maybe it's the possibility of download app from the PlayStore that requare a wifi signal (my need for speed Shift for example), and everyone knows the 3g network it's faster the wifi, the app my3g it's famous for the iOS users so we where wating for solution.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginnz:
oh man, i wish there was a My 3G for android..... i cant believe guys cant figure out why it would be good to have as well? some apps, like iCam only work over wifi, but with my3g, i could view my webcams at home, from my iPhone, without a wifi connection. awesome.... and nettalk, a voip app that works on wifi, worked great on my 3g!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seb855:
Anyone found a way yet ?

An app that could simulate a wifi connection would be really usefull ... My3g on iphone is great . Im also thinking about going back with apple . The limitless possibility of android are limited by what I think is way too much dev on ios and not enough on android . So ios have everything and we dont . I dont have internet at home but I have unlimited data on my cell . So with no wifi I cant backup my cell on the cloud because its wifi only . Many games like modern combat 4 doesnt allow to play on cellular data . And someday someone gonna work to crack the game instead of making a my3g equivalent and resolve the problem once and for all . I would pay for that and so would a lot of ppl . :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMstrBud:
It would be very useful. It doesn't matter what someone wants to use it for but what matters is they want to know if there is an app for this. The iPhone has 2 jailbroken apps for this so why doesn't android have it? Or do they have one?

Would love to have this for my ouya. I have to connect it via Ethernet and gameloft and other large games won't download their inapp downloads because it is not on WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QBaller:
I had AT&T iPhone for over four years and one of the main reasons people jailbreak their iPhones is because of the My3G app. Its used for Facetime over 4G and unrestricted download speeds for certain apps. I had tested the bandwidth speed when using this app and did see a difference.

I have a AT&T Note 3 and my downloads are slow over 4G LTE. I mainly download from youtube.

AT&T has 4G LTE restrictions for iPhone, is it the same for Androids?

Is there any way to trick the android phones into thinking it's on wifi connection when on 4G LTE?

Now twice this morning when letting my phone set, it just goes off all by itself. I have to pull the battery to get it to come back on. On the epic experience there are a lot of add ons and stuff that can be flashed. I have all those on my memory card as well. They were there last night. I am restoring my phone right now to prior to the install of epic experience and phoenix kernel.

does anyone know what the problem may be?

I'm having the same issue and trying to get to the bottom of it-- has happened on and off charger, where I just notice that my phone is off. I'm running the latest MixedUp Kernel with Andromeda ROM 1.1.1a (not the most recent). Other than the newest Mixedup, the only mod I've applied is the 'reboot option android policy.zip' grabbed from this thread.

Anyone know the best way to restore to stock android.policy.jar to see if the mod is maybe causing it?

side note: I still haven't found an easy way to get into my clockwork backups (browse contents, or mount), if anyone knows.

But that's the only thing I can think of that might be causing it.
