Anyone upgrade to their nexus on o2? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

If so was it unlocked? I have the chance of getting one but would need to make sure it is unlocked as not sure there is a way to do this via rooting yet.
many thanks

o2 still uses the 900mhz 2g network so you may have the volume issues. Let's hope they're sorted out soon.

Yep. Just put an Orange SIM in and it works. I didn't try making any calls with it in though, so can test that out for ya when I get back home.

I got mine on O2, and it WAS locked. Put in a Voda SIM and it asked for unlocking code. As I was on contract O2 gave me one for free anyway so it didn't matter much, but believe they charge if it's payg.

Try going to Phones4U, they might buy you out.
Alternativly, ring up Vodafone and ask if they do In Contract Handsets where they offer you 1 handset per contract at a discounted rate

Can't get my Desire unlocked?

I wanted to debrand, but apparently debranding locks Orange UK phones or does it?
Anyway tried HTCUnlock.com/Unlockingonline.com
Got the following.
The reason why your order could not be processed is as follows:
VERY NEW HTC HANDSET - PLEASE UPGRADE SERVICE
The scammers even though it was advertised as £12.99, they want me to order again this time paying £29
So the next one I tried,
HTCCode.com
Something similar, they could not unlock.
Anyone any ideas? I don't really need it unlocked as would be using on Orange anyway but wouldn't want to be locked out.

When did you purchase the code from HTCCODE? Our database was updated on the 28th July and thereafter we have codes for all HTC Desire.
I suggest you take a look at this thread :
http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2187
I bought a Desire for my girlfriend yesterday and I've unlocked it at http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-desire-unlock
I payed $25 on the new database because I was in a hurry and didn't wanted to wait and see if the code can be found in the standard database first($16).

I had the same thing with my week old desire (tried unlocking the day after getting it). They said that I could do a more expensive search that would probably work, however they suggested just waiting for HTC to release the new database.
It all depends on when your phone was manufactured and what database update will include your code.

Nope. Not with mine anyway and also LennyUK is running custom firmware on his orange locked Desire.
The only things to be careful of is the HBOOT version and also make sure you flash the correct radio.
I've tested 5.09.00.08 and 5.09.00.20 and they both work with my phone.
Telus
I used htcimeiunlock.com. They tell from the start the price for each search options ($15 and $24).
Mine was $15.
why are you all paying for unlocking???
Is it possible to do it without paying?
You can try asking your provider for the unlock code, I think they charge 15 pounds.
Right now there is no free way to unlock the new htc devices.

t-mobile G2 activation question

Hey guys,
i'm thinking of getting a t-mobile g2 handset. i've found one online, refurbished, for a cheap price. my question is do i need to activate the handset? i'm going to use it in europe and since i'm not in the usa now a friend will bring the handset to me.
a friend here is a dev and the company he works in got 2 phones from the states shipped. they had to activate them and it cost them 50 dollars each because they are no in the states, t-mobile said that it's free if it had been done in the us..
here is the phone:

i think activating phones are for the prepaid feature phones that are locked to your carrier. you activate them to beable to use your carriers network and they often charge you 10$ for it. im not sure but i dont think you need to activate your phone

The link is dead. The Desire Z or G2 is an excellent phone, just don't pay more than 200 or so for a refurb. Even if the phone comes branded, running gfree to get root and s-off will also set the CID: 111111111111 so it will be sim/carrier unlocked once you're done.

Activation is only when you're buying a phone at a carrier, and the activation isn't on the phone per se, but rather activating the line on the carrier to work with the phone. There's no activation required to use the phone though. Just unlock it (either with rooting or buying a code) then pop your international SIM in it.

I'd agree. Its a great device but I wouldn't pay over $200 for one at this point in the year. Maybe a tad more if its mint NIB.

There is currently no 'free' way of sim unlocking your device if you hang around long enough someone may write a program to do it but you may be waiting a while. Quite a few members have stated the unlock code can be obtained over ebay within 2 hours for around £9 which is a good price. You could also contact your carrier and tell them you want to take your phone abroad and use a different sim card in it while you are away to save costs. Sometimes they will unlock it for free.

got mine unlocked from o2 for free, filled in a form on their site and they emailed me the unlock code
just bought a SIM unlock code from here for £5
instant delivery, works perfectly. awesome
a warning about sim unlock: I got my nexus today from vodafone spain and as expected it was locked. I got an unlock code from ebay and it worked like a charm.
But, I like to play with new phones first, then restore defaults and set everything up the way I want it. The thing is, the galaxy nexus doesn't remember the network unlock code between factory resets, at least mine doesn't (yakju, came with ITL41F).
The codes work, but you may need yours again, so don't throw the number away
any code for three? im waiting the three to give me the code, about 2 weeks now
Hello Mark, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus an universal phone? Can I use the unlocked version with LTE carriers in the future? I am in US and Verizon is the only LTE carrier I was wondering about using T-Mobile (HSPS technology) or wait for Sprint (my current carrier). I live in USA but I am thinking about moving to Japan so I wonder if I should just wait and maybe I will need to get one in Japan with one of their carriers... Also I love the forums and it is all great, but is there an IRC room for this questions as well?
Thank you in advance,

The GSM version can be purchased unlocked and used on any GSM carrier with their supplied SIM card. The GSM frequencies are listed for the Galaxy Nexus and they cover the majority of GSM international and US domestic carriers.
The LTE version, as far as we've heard, is only for Verizon in the US. Not sure what LTE technologies other carriers in other countries are using.
If you're interested in having an international capable version of the deivce, the GSM version is currently your best option.
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I would also like to purchase such a code, but how ist it with OTA updates? Still avialable?
How would it be if I later root my phone and put on a custom rom? Will it be still unlocked.
or
cant I just put on a custom rom, to sim-unlock the phone and save those costs?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks

Custom Roms cannot sim unlock your phone as it isnt part of the system.
Flashing an OTA update or a custom rom will not affect your phone if you have sim unlocked it with a code.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted my carrier (A1 Austria) and complained about the simlock. To make a long story short, they finally gave me the simunlock pin.
But recently I unlocked the bootlader and the unlock was wiped so I needed to reenter the pin. After I reflashed the original rom (back to stock) the sim was locked again.
And the most strange thing happened today. I just restarted the phone today (as every day) and the sim was locked again. So reentered the pin to unlock.
My question now, can it be that the simumlock pin they have provided me is not correctly working or is this a normal behaviour or a bug?

That appears to be normal behaviour.

works perfect had my code back in 30 seconds ,i did loose £1.44 because i used the iIMEI code from the package,but it was different from the phone,but £2 88 to unlock very cheap yes 10 out of ten
Glad I saw this. Even if there is a free way sorted soon - £1.44 to get it done now is cheap. I'd gladly pay more (3 said they would do it for £15)
Once the phone is unlocked will it then be able to get the 1.28 OTA?
i thought unbranded came unlocked and if you were branded, then you tell your carrier to unlock your phone and they are going to do it for free to keep your business. the only thing that would cost money is data roaming. i might be wrong.

I'm not sure about other carriers but Three def told me £15 to unlock. I can't see them doing it free as they are still doing you a service and unlocking your phone doesn't guarentee you are going to stay with them.

Any issues with this unlock? Are they permanent? I know customer service reps are clueless half the time but when I called to get my unlock code and was told I was also told I should be careful of getting an unlock code online as he had a case of someone call once saying their unlock code only worked with the phone for 90 days and then it stopped working (not sure if the phone or the unlocking). Also, any issues with privacy in regards to giving out en IMEI number?

I dont know how that happened, but my phone works with other carrier now. Expect if someone can explan this.

If you ever travel overseas, you can just buy a prepaid sim and stick it in your phone and you could use your phone while traveling for cheap without paying any carrier roaming fees.
I don't want to pay for a DATA PLAN!
So check this out.... I am an AT&T user and back when the HTC HD2 came out for T-Mobile I bought it from a friend when they signed up for a new contract. Got an unlock code from Ebay and have been using it for the past 2 years without having to have a data plan, never got added automatically to my plan like i have heard happen to others? And I'm wondering why? Is it possibly cuz its a T-Mobile phone? Or is it cuz I still have an old "Cingular" SIM card? I am curious about this because right now, Wally World has a special sale on the phone at $249, plus a $100 gift card, which will bring the phone down to $150 basically, so a pretty damn good deal for a phone just out on the market. And I'm plan on getting it this week, I was wondering if any of you would be able to tell me if at some point if i was able to get a T-Mobile version of the Samsung Note 2 if i could slip my SIM card into it and then be able to cancel my DATA plan, if i told them i went back to a Motorola Razr or something, which worked when i got my HD2? Or will AT&T be able to see that i have a smartphone? Is it the newer smaller SIM card, that will tell AT&T that I have a smartphone, or will the phone it self be what sends info to the servers or whatever that tells AT&T I have a smartphone? Or do you think this method of getting a T-Mobile phone and using an AT&T SIM card will work and I won't get stuck with a DATA plan? Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi so I have no need for the Data plan it will be going to waste.
