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

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.

Would you buy it again?

Ok guys, here's my "delimma". I have an upgrade available to me. I've been wanting a gs2 since it came out in Europe. I had every intention of getting this within the first week it came out on tmo. BUT, reading about all the issues with lines on the screen, resolution, etc, I'm skeptical. It's basically going to be this phone or I'll cancel my line (I'm on a family line). I havent had a chance to play with one in person yet. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to gather opinions on the phone.
With all that being said, if you had a chance to relive Wednesday or whatever day you bought the gs2, would you buy it again?

Definitely. My Iphone 4 got stolen two days ago, and yesterday I picked up this phone. Didn't even consider a 4S. Done with Apple and ready to get back into xda and the root world Tmo's 4G is amazing too.

yup! I love the phone. More so then the G2X.

I would for sure. I think it's the best phone on T-Mobile and T-Mobile is the cheapest out of the major wireless providers for me.

I am eligible for an upgrade to my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. Picked up a Galaxy S II and ported my number over to TMO. Almost everything about this phone is better than my old iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and I'm paying less for my plan, too!

Yep, I can relate to some. I tried the epic 4g touch version on sprint. If I could swap the internals with that it would be more awesome. As it stands though, once root is here and I can tether I'll be stoked. As of right now I'm happy with it. It feels solid and has a professional look and feel to it.

I'm going to give it a try again. The SGS2 was the phone I wanted from the git go. Sounds like the ones with the least amount of problems are the 9/28 boxes.
I'm going to give it one more chance tomorrow after I get off of work and I'll keep it over the weekend. I honestly really want to love the SGS2.

I want Clarifcations

There are all sorts of info ou there, saying different things as to the release date of the Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime woulda been better!) on T-Mobile's Networks, I haven't had the time to research it as much as I'm sure some of you have, can someone confirm a date for Nexus Prime date on T-Mobile?
I'm hoping before Black Friday, so I can get it on Black Friday at Best BUy
Otherwise it may be a little bit till i get the Galaxy Nexus it is hard for my mom to get time off work enough to get me there and buy it!
Anyways thanks in advance.... I looked thru this forum couldn't find the answer... Am I dumb?

Nobody really knows

Tell your mom you want her to switch you to Verizon.

No one knows. Thats why theres like 10000 threads about it.
When it comes down to it you can always import and use ur T-mo SIM. If I had to bet I'd say you could buy it unlocked in the USA soon enough as well. Doubt T-mo will pick it up subsidized but we'll see.

It means if somehow the unlocked version doesn't get launched here right away and you really want it, you can import one from Europe (paying extra) and put your T-mobile SIM card in it. It'll be expensive and I wouldn't recommend it if you can wait.

Doubts Verizon will see this before T-Mobile? Was that seriously just uttered? T-Mobile hasn't even announced this phone on their network, much less thought about a release date for it. Yes, it's on Samsung's site as it being available for T-Mobile, but at least Verizon has announced officially that it will have the phone and before the end of the year. T-Mobile ... not so much.

a lot of tail some diseases lots of enemies and maybe child support and divorce! but as for the new nexus...I believe VZW is the only us carrier getting one this year. if u want it on another then its over 700 for the small size 16 or possibly att tmo next year.

You can't really blame the price on Samsung. It seems high because the US dollar has lost so much in value. The actual cost in other currencies is basically the same as previous Nexus phones when you factor in VAT.
I think the GSM/HSPA version will be sold unlocked at launch in the US too. It is a phone for developers so they will want to make sure developers can get it.

OT: greatest thing about google+, I can easily mute thread that aren't useful (like my post).

about to buy a s3

I'm ready to buy a s3 for tmobile. I have a few questions:
- Any advice before buying one?
- Should I take any safety precaution before buying on the street? [I heard of people buy phones from people that cancel their plan on the carrier right after]
- Should I just save up and buy the beefed up model the i9305? [I dont really use the phone for internet that much, but I like games and apps]

I love this phone, above all other android phones which is alot.
If at all possible buy from t-mobile. In the street if you are lucky you will get one for $350 to $400. If you have an upgrade available then you will paying about that much, unless you go thru customer loyalty or retention department(really depends if you been with them 2 or more yrs for best deals, so I have read).
I have not had any stuters while playing a couple games , darkknight rises, robo defense, spades and a few others

If you are able to play with phone before buying. Press *#0*# and it will show you Lcdtest page. Which will let you test all hardware function of phone .
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

alright cool, i'll try it out when i get the chance

Id advise against buying "off the street". Too many have gotten screwed doing that.
But many have got great deals that way too, so its your call.
I wouldn't get the international version. You won't get as great of speed as the T999. Maybe 3g if your areas been refarmed.
LTE is too far off still to make that a buying point imo. By the time your area gets it you'll be ready to get a better phone. GS5 maybe!?
That's a great point btw about doing the hardware testing before buying off the street!
Ill add that if you can, go with the seller to a tmobile store to check the imei isn't blacklisted and get the seller to have them print something showing the phone has been 100% paid off.

Well I can get it but I'm gonna need to sale my s2. I think I'll get more if I sale it rooted already then I would unrooted that way I wouldn't be paying so much for the phone.

Prefer the unlocked S3.

Like what people above said, call retentions. They offered me the s3 for 99 bucks. But I think I will still wait till black Friday deals. I have a galaxy nexus so I'm in no hurry.
If you're not in a hurry either wait for black Friday.

[Q] What changes did Verizon make to the HTC One?

I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.

nothing to the hardware i dont think.
the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.
nothing a little root wont take care of though.
its a great device .

Also rooting this phone is very easy

All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.
Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.

Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.
Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.

So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.
