[Defy General] theeastwind:
Hello all,

my Defy is stuck in emergency mode and can't find my carrier anymore (o2). Details:

- only emergency calls possible, no network found

- another mobile in my house gets outstanding connection (o2 aswell), when switching SIMs, it's still my Defy not getting a connection

- wiping the Defy has not changed anything, even with stock settings all I see is the red cross (put my settings back with clockwork recovery)

- an hour or two before this happened I was listening to music with my headphones, but between taking the headphones out and GSM failing I was sending texts

- When doing a search for other carriers I can see some (though not reliably), but not mine

- I bought my Defy via Amazon, so no SIMlock, obviously.

- WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS are all working fine, so they probably have different antennae

- I rooted my Defy, but this was over a month ago, and it was working fine. I also did not install apps or update some existing ones before this happened. I also did not reboot. It just happened. Put it in my pocket and next time I got it out there was the red cross.

In Phone Info -> Status it says under signal strength "-111 dBm 1APU". It all looks like the antenna is broken, but I didn't hit it, drop it, put it into water or hurt it in any way before this happened or the 3-4 days before. So I'm really lost here.

Anyone? Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] Sp_Ark:
Hi. Have the defy for about a month now. Same issue since first day. Dont know whats wrong. Found out that after 4-5 reboots its ok and lasts till next reboot/switch off. So try turn it on/off 4-5 time or just download a quick reboot app and do the same to see what happens. If aneyone has any idea on how to fix this?
[Defy General] priyansh17:
i get this all the time when i flash my defy thru any other rom......and thus roll back every time to stock (indian) rom.....

try flashing your phone with any compatible rom....new radios might get ure phone working
[Defy General] vladut_v:
Same problem here. First time today,

spontaneous

, after a month of use my Defy, non rooted, never unlocked, standard noMOTOBLUR, just like as it was bought from store. Moto_Versiuo.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.SEA

None of these worked to restablish the radio connection: succesive reboot, manual/automatic network search and choose, succesive airplane on/off. I didn't check the signal parameters.

I thought that the SIM just burned, removed and try it on another phone and everything was OK. When put it back in Defy, the network connection was established.

The experience was very strange and my final verdict was that the SIM just moved a little from its initial position.

BUT now I realize the problem is more complex and I don't know what caused it !
[Defy General] Sp_Ark:
I have also noticed that the sim card slot gives a little more space for the simcard to move (at least on my defy). Might be a prob with the sim card being old or something (mine is from 2005). For now i'll just try to keep my phone on (seems i finally found stable settings for setvsel, so no more unexpected reboots).

An answer from motorola's official support forum is just remove the simcard and clean it with some cloth...
[Defy General] chaihg:
This is definitely a sim slot/card problem. If bought from amazon they will oblige to change it without any money. I did the same but not for this problem.

If you think there is some problem with software, which is unlikely then flash an sbf and see if things are fine.

To begin with flash chinese froyo sbf. It is downgradable to any previous firmware you were using and very flexible.

Hope this can solve your problem. Get back on what the result is.
[Defy General] MrDonuts:
Same here...

My defy got network yesterday at 07pm til mid-night.

before, since 16 (11pm) til 19 (7pm) before it function again.

and now, its bloked.

i rooted my cell one month ago, then, probably thats not the fault of z4root.

Sorry about my badass english, i still in upgrade mode.

any idea about it guys ?

thnx

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ChaceTatum:
I actived wm7 but I still have trouble to download applications.

I understand that should I change my register that my Leo look like a HD7 to the marketplace.

But the methods I've found on the forums are not clear. Can someone explain to me or give me a link? Please help me... :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Why don´t you simply flash a custom ROM with all that stuff already cooked in?

The first WP7 ROM, Leo70, didn´t have that yet, but check the development thread, there are some to choose from.

Once you have one of those on your HD2, the name and jailbreak stuff won´t bother you anymore...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ChaceTatum:
I installed WP7 long ago. Additionally I already used 3 times my activation key. I have to find a new rom does not seek to call windows for the key....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheATHEiST:
You dont need a rom that doesnt ask for key, plus one doesnt even exists anyway.

You can re-use the activation key more then 3 times.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ChaceTatum:
I'll reinstall new rom. Again thanks much! It will simplify me life because I do not edit the registry...
[Touch HD General] kidcash:
Hi Guys,

Since the HD Runs Windows Mobile 6.1, is it possible to disable every trace of HTC Sense and get the normal WM6.1 Interface as older Wm6.1 devices have without any ill effects?

I'm asking because I'm thinking of Buying a HD, which is possibly the latest device without WM6.5.

Coming from somebody who is old style (I have owned 2 Himalayas so I like classic looking interfaces, none of this fancy clock jumping across the screen and clouds and thunder animations. By classic I mean like this :

, or does the Blackstones ROM have that ugly Wm6.5 styled Today screen

Thanks guys.
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
you can choose that home screen on each and every windows mobile version and rom. even windows mobile 6.5 or 6.5.x still have that. even if a device might be set to titanium, manila or sense by default, you can deactivate it and in the end, you will end up with that screen you want
[Touch HD General] kidcash:
Thanks Tony,

Yeah however I'm wondering whether the today screen on the HD itself will look like the one I posted, I don't know if on later Wm6.1 devices they made the Today Screen "Modernized" even without any add-on interfaces like Manilla etc.

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
that's the point, since there are GUIs like titanium, manila, sense... the default home screen has not been further developed. i made screenshots for you, on the first one, you'll see the home screen with sense 2.5 (my rom is cloudy 0.7, wm6.1 with sense 2.5), then the settings screen and then the one you want, just for comparison. never mind that it's black instead of green, you see in pic2 that's just a theme, and of course it is longer than the one you posted, because of the device's wvga resolution, but basicly it is the same. in pic3 you see, that in order to get the old today screen, i unchecked sense and checked everything else instead. if you were running a wm6.5 rom, it would be likely that that list showed sense, "windows default" (titanium) and the simple items.

and you can also continue to use old home screen plugins that were made for wm2003 or greater, usually satnav software comes with plugins (see navigon in screen4, but also tomtom and others).
[Touch HD General] olyloh6696:
yes, it is possible. There are some ROMs by chefs who remove all manufacturer HTC apps and stuff.It is like freshly baked vanilla ROMs staight from Microsoft. Alternativdly, if you are looking to keep the stock ROM, YES you can disable all HTC apps. The today screen csn be reverted back to the stock UI like your pic, and disable othe HTC mods via Reg Tweaks + Cabs

Hope i helped! :)

if anyone knows of a site that will sell unlock codes online please comment. I live outside the US and want to buy this phone online but will need an unlock code.

I have already contacted some sites but they don't have an idea yet if/when they will get them

EDIT: supposedly swiftunlock.net and gsmliberty.net work, but no proof yet rather than words from users.

EDIT: pictures of atrix running under Bell operator unlocked

EDIT: most users report that cellunlock.net work, 40$ but with a 50% discount using the android50 code.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
Hi Guys, I believe the Atrix will come unlocked. It is a world phone which I think means you will be able to insert a SIM card from over seas and it will work. Also I have heard that if you buy the phone and call ATT and tell them you are going over seas to use it they will give you the unlock code. But then again these are things that I have heard and wont be able to verify until I get my Atrix in the mail.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
no phone from a carrier sells unlocked. i already tried att twitter account to get an unlock code but got a friendly no. maybe if i buy it a month later i could call att from venezuela with gmail to try and score an unlock code.

i have seen lots of sites:

mobileunlocked.co.uk supposedly sells it at 15$

unlockitnow.com supposedly has it too.

gsmliberty.net at 10$.

globalunlock.com seems serious and admitted they don't have it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
For the over seas thing to work with att you needed to have been in contract with them on that phone for 6 months or something

unlockitnow.com just answered my email saying that they are selling the unlock codes right now. don't know if they are trustworthy
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdurabo2:
This is completely incorrect. An AT&T world phone merely allows you to use the phone with an AT&T SIM outside the country at exorbitant rates.

Please don't post your guesses or misinformation, it only confuses people who are in need of help & then gets parroted elsewhere to other sites.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Ok, starting to freak out a bit here as a friend will buy the phone and bring it back to Germany for me this week; is there a risk that there might not be a way to remove the sim lock from the phone? I mean, all phones are eventually unlocked, aren't they? Even a guy at one AT&T shop I called on Saturday said that it shouldn't be a problem, just to go one of all the companies that are providing unlock keys on the web.

Don't want to be stuck with an unusable 400-500 $ brick..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
according to the info i am handling motorola's phones are one of the easiest to unlock. if you are that desperate try the links i have posted and write to them.

i have posted a link on the pricing thread that lists the phone at 550$ unlocked over at mobilecityonline.com

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...ganic&utm_term=AtrixATTU&utm_campaign=froogle
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battleship:
Well...that's not quite right. Because AT&T uses GSM tech, if you can unlock the phone, you absolutely can take out the AT&T SIM and swap it for a local one. I do it all the time when I travel: I buy a (local to where I happen to be) rechargeable SIM and I pay local rates rather than getting gouged by AT&T.

You must unlock the phone to do that, though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemegb:
i use theunlockr.com.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
that site sucks. they don't have a link on the home page to buy unlocked codes, i had to go to "unlocking 101" under "wireless 101" and from there visit the "unlock for free" which tells you to call your provider after 3 months and at the end says "we sell them too", i tried the link: http://theunlockr.com/store/unlock-my-phone/ and it doesn't even load.

Nope Scam, use cellunlock they got me mine in 3 days.

This is from gsm liberty.

Thank you for your purchase.

The server used to search for the unlock code for your Motorola phone with IMEI xxxxxxxxxxxxx did not return a code.

This happens for a variety of reasons , most notably your phone's IMEI being a newer one that has not been added to these databases yet.

We can offer one of the following two options at this time :

1- Cancel your order for a full refund as per our service guarantees.

OR

2- A premium Motorola database can be used to search for your phones unlock code and does come at an extra cost of $15.00 .

____________________

I highly recommend http://www.cellunlock.net. The rep that I was working with was extremely helpful and kept me updated on my status throughout the process. I was kind of in a hurry and mentioned GSMliberty advertising they could get it in 2 hours. He told me that they wouldn't be able to and he was right. Today was day 3 from cellunlock.net and sure enough they had the code and it worked perfectly. My phone is now unlocked and I am happy. I posted a picture on the next page as proof. As you can see above GSMliberty couldn't get my code. I used android50 and got 50% off my code, I also submitted for the code before they had the Atrix as an option, under at&t/any motorola phone so I got my phone unlocked for $7.50.

GSM Liberty is not a scam!! You have to pay more (cost me $25 because of the "additional database") but they came through. Don't recommend them as they take longer too.
