Oh no! I'm switching to t-mobile!

My parents are switching to T-Mobile, and that means ill end up with a razr D:
I seriously want to keep my Tilt 2 with Xdandroid on it, so I went to the topic where the link led to a sight where you can get a free unlock code if you're a contributing member.
I obviously haven't posted that many topics on here, so I doubt they'll give me a code :/
Does anyone know any other place I can get a free unlock code? I seriously want to keep my tilt 2 :/

And I'm switching in a few days. I can live without my Tilt for a few days after wards if that's how long it'll take to get an unlock code
Thanks,

hold out...
see if they'll wait till the 19th. rumor has it (engadget.com) that t-mobile is having a every phone in the store FREE day. meaning you can pickup the Touch Pro 2..tilt 2's twin...or even better the HTC HD2 for free. saving them/you a couple hundered dollars.

Seriously?

You see, the thing is though, I've already downloaded so much stuff for xdandroid, and I cant move it over to an android phone from t-mobile :/
And not only that, I love this phone, it does have its quirks, but its my phone, lol

if you can get a free HD2... GET IT... then you'll still have your tilt 2 and have time to get it unlocked when you can to use with the other network.
That said.. doesn't AT&T offer unlock codes so you can use the phone on other networks for free? I thought EVERY carrier had to? I could clearly be totally wrong. I know up in Canada when I was with AT&T I had them unlock every single phone I ever used saying I was going to be traveling over sea's. Now that I'm down in the US I havn't tried that though.

I was thinking about doing that, the HD2 is sooo sexy X.x
I called att telling them I would be going to australia for the summer, and they said they would get back to me on that, but that was about 6 months ago xD

Also, the HD2 is not android, it is WM6.5.

I just got my touch pro 2 and after debating between hd2 and tp2 the keyboard swayed the battle, either way I played with both in store and both are very nice and if the t mobile free phone thing is true I would explain it to your parents and ask them to wait. I wouldn't worry about all the lost customs though because thats part of the excitement of a new phone.

Try again. Usually you have to wait a few months before they'll just unlock it for you. Otherwise this is only $20...
http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/

I called AT&T about 6 months ago (in the US) and told them I was going overseas on business and needed it ASAP. I also told them that I was not a customer, but my "company" was and that they would be giving me a SIM to use the "day I left the country". Probably wouldn't hurt to give a fake name too lol.
Bear in mind that I was calm and nice to them (yanno, the whole catch more flies with honey than vinegar type stuff).
I got my unlock code within 10 minutes. And if for any reason you don't get the code then, just call back. If you get the same person again, I'd be highly surprised.

yeaa, if you've been with at&t for a while and had no problems with payments, they should give you the unlock code, otherwise, there are unlock code on ebay for like 20$, and they do work, I used one for my Tilt 2 and Touch Pro 2 (I like the tilt 2 better, its shinyer lol)

Well, what if this phone isn't on my contract?
My phone that's on contract with att is a crappy sony ericcson. I bought 2 blackjacks from my friend because he was switching providers, then I traded one of them for a palm centro, and my aunt came down with this phone and said she wanted to trade because this phone was too difficult and she likes the palm centro better xDD
Would it still work if the tilt2 isn't on my contract?

After several readings of your message, I have decided that your life is WAY to complicated.
Seriously, what you should do is have your aunt put her SIM card into the phone and have her call up and request the unlock code. Or just buy one from this site or ebay.

Ill just probably end up buying it on ebay xD

What you need to realize is no they won't give it to you but you can buy it from there....no need to buy the code from ebay.

Exactly what I meant.

All I ever had to do to unlock my phones, was to call and tell them that my brother or sister needed to use the phone and that I needed the code so their sim card would work. I did own the phones for at least a year though.

[Q] HTC Desire Z where from?

I am thinking of buying the HTC Desire Z for my wife next month.
I would like to know where can I get it from for the cheapest?
I want to buy it new not used too.
I live in the U.K. and want to buy it unlocked if possible if not how to unlock.
thanks guys for

I've personally never ordered from them.

play.com is also pretty good. When I got mine, it was cheapest there.

I got mine from a HTC branded stall in a westfield shopping centre. It was run by some outfit called westcoast mobile. Handset was unlocked even though I got it on a O2 contract.

You can try eBay if you want but always buy from someone who has a high feedback I bought mine from eBay and its been working fine.

well, you'll need to get the HTC Desire Z A7272 not the 7275 or the g2. then the next thing is to check online for a store that sells it. I bought mine off ebay (a7275 though since i'm on at&t) and it seems to be working completely fine.

Thanks guys, why what's the difference between them?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

they all have different 3g radio bands. look it up. i can't remember off the top of my head. but essentially the 7272 is for european countries (supporting all the 3g bands in europe) the 7275 is for canada (and happens to work for at&t since they use the same bands) and the g2 uses tmobile's unique system (1 band for upload and 1 band for download)

A DZ for your wife? LOL its for nerdy people like us. Give her something like desire S or something.

Well then its cool, get it. Btw it has a very poor battery life so buy the mugen power 1800 mAh battery with it, its the same size as the original.

How long does the battery last?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

It was 100% 6 hours ago when I charged it, after that 1 hour of calling, texting n light activities , edge continuously on, now its 47 %
It's sucks big time coz on such huge phone they put 1300 mAh battery. So we definitely need a 1800 mAh one, its the same size, not available in my country Pakistan but I have asked someone um USA to mail me, hope I get it soon :/
Sent from my HTC T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

It usually takes about 11 hours before my phone drops down to 55% and this is with 3G runnng at all times with a bt headset and 6 apps (according to zdbox) running continuously in the background and 4 emails (3 doing 1 hr sync and 1 doing 4hr sync) as well as pulse pulling from 5 sites (engadget, kotaku, gizmodo, android central, bgr)
EDIT: oh and about an hour of talk time on the phone. all this on stock battery

I'm also using the stock battery, Idk why but I'm getting less out of it, I have completed the full charge cycles as well as battery calibration but nothin works. So I'm gettin mugen power 1800 mAh.

According to battery doctor, 14 apps r running in the background.
Sent from my HTC T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

i suggest you bring down the number of apps running in teh background then. it seems to be an unneccessary amount of apps running unless you truly believe they're all needed...

I don't need half of them all the time, only sometimes but they auto start themselves.

If your in California they tax you on the full value of the phone, not the sales price. Ridiculous.

I'll post what happened in a bit...

2.5 hours to get the wifes at best buy. The worker did everything rite but only could make calls. He seen problems and called att. Got the run around from 4 people and tried 3 sims cards. Finally what went down was a better att rep on phone realized that att itself changed my wife's plan from grandfather unlimited to 3gig limited and tried saying it was always that plan. Well its fixed and still grandfathered in. Best buys paper work had everything rite on it. Att just was trying to kick my wife's plan out and force a diff plan.
But $63 got her the phone.

Their "beast" system crashed , globally, while I was in there and was shut down for about 3 hours until the guy called att on his personal phone and did it that way, had to hand write my contract.
The beast system is their in-store upgrader which communicates with all major carriers but now I'm home playing with the phone it's a downgrade from the one I previously owned, the screen has a blue/ purpleish haze at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not happy at all with this one. I do plan on writing an email to best buy about their terrible service and considering the iPhone 5.
So much for saving $150..
Also after initially waiting in line for 40 minutes they told me I had no upgrade amid made me go to a att store close by and verified that I did then came back and waited another 3 hours till they figured this mess out

Agh, that sounds ROUGH!
I've herd BB called worst buy a bunch of times already. And your experience puts it into perspective.
I ordered a blue ATT 16GB from their website for a line on my family account that wasn't on a 2 year.
You woud have got the upper hand on price cause I payed $58.53. But you had a long wait in line.. And they gave you problems.
What you experienced is why I avoid Black friday, and only go to the store if Absolutely necessary.
I must say, calling ATT or Best buy on a Sunday is the worst way to spend your day.
I wanted to verify with ATT that they knew what was going on, and to make the note on my account
And Just wanted to make sure that Best buy wasn't going to pre-activate the line, or send a text to the phone number. (its a gift)

So i was reading about the kies 4.1.1 jb update and I noticed all the diferentes in the camera filters.
No this current phone does not have those extra options where as the old s3 I had bought and returned a few months ago, and did have the extra options.
What gives??

Crazy buy back at phones4u!

Hello all,quick heads up.
I just upgraded to the gs4. I must say it's a proper step forward. Screen is so much nicer to use.
I did the upgrade in phones for you. Moved from Orange to EE. I had 10 or so months left on my contact and the shop gave me £170 for my one x! cash! so I only had to pay a nifty to get the new device and pay the old contract off. I had weak wifi and bluetooth issues and cyanogen 10.1.
I thought it was a good deal.

Why is this posted in the One X forum?

Errr......didnt I mention they purchased my one x for a reasonable price....which could be seen as a potential aid for one x owners wanting to sell their one x, therefor one could say this would be of more help to one x owners than anyone else....

How much does HTC charge to change the battery?

Hi,
Has HTC said anything about how much it costs for them to replace the m8's battery?
I have no intention of doing this myself, but I'd like to know that my phone can last longer that 2 years.
What about for the m7? I can't find anything about a battery replacement service online nor the cost.
If it's $99 I can accept it, but anything more would not make much financial sense.
Apple charges $79, for what it's worth.

You could use your phone to call HTC and ask.

My old HTC One S still holds a charge. It's an original launch day device from tmobile, with the original battery.
My dad was using it and would get almost a week on a battery.
He's using my m7 now.
So I wouldn't really worry about it that much.

+1 What he says
There are no listing at the moment as the product is so new. Plus the phone is sealed so the normal outlets other than HTC are unlikely to stock as it is classed as a service item - in other words, for the majority it would involve a return to store. (As you say - 'I have no intention of doing this myself',')
Remember if someone has had problems this early on with the battery, they would have gone for a replacement phone (I know I would have!)
- No doubt at some point somebody will release one. but for now, your best port of call is HTC direct
Like he said^^^^^^^^^^^^
