[Q] dhd imei block

hi all
i have a question for all of you.
after a long winded expensive battle with vodafail with my old n97 (having sweet fa coverage, and always over my cap because i constantly had to ring people back), they sent me a dhd at some expense to me ( should have been free, as they gave me incorect info about the n97). and i am now getting a evo 3d. BUT, they would like me to send the dhd back, and realy, i dont want to. i am wondering if they are able to track and block it via the imei number or anything, or if i throw another sim in it, if it will be all good. i have no intention of renewing with vodafone after my contract expires due to their piss poor coverage and impossible to understand call center.
so friends, whats the go? can i keep it, or will i have to send it back?
cheers

They can block it via the IMEI Blacklist. Sorry but if they decide to blacklist it, it will be rendered useless. Even on a different network as all networks have been made to share blacklists.

This is not true to some countries...

Ok, fair enough. I doubt i can change the imei. What do u think will be a better phone? I know the evo has more ram and 1.2d/c but will it be much better than the dhd? I dont think the evo will help my coverage problems. But free is free rite? The only other thing going for the evo is 850mhz 3g network support. I tried for a gs2 but they didnt have any in tue wharehouse aparantly.

It's possible to change IMEI, and some of the best hackers around here must know how to, but it's highly ILEGAL and UNETHICAL. Let us not talk about it...
Which EVO ?

I'd go with which ever of the two phones has the best developer support on XDA, eg ROMs and mods etc.

LTE enabled.

Hi all, Iam about to upgrade my Desire S and have been looking at Galaxy S III. I have just had a chat to Trish at Tmobile UK and she offered a great deal on a new Samsung but when I asked if it would be LTE enabled out of the box or a software upgrade she said it wouldn't be enabled and couldn't give any date if it could be. So I will give it a few weeks and then ask again.

This is a dumb question. Lock and ban!

There's no such thing as dumb questions. If you're in the UK I'm pretty sure your phone already canes LTE enable unlike the our version. If it doesn't come with the latest update you can simply update it yourself

Nice thing to say in the Q&A section
If your phone is a international quad core then it will never have LTE because it does not have the hardware to support it.
The US dual core Snapdragon 4 phones have the hardware in them and should already support it.

This is general.. but you are correct. But the T-Mobile US S3 does NOT AND NEVER WILL have LTE. The t999 does not have LTE hardware.

That's different. The i9300 will also never have LTE. The i9305 does however.

Not this topic again did OP even ask a q? Or just tell us what happened with the rep?

The reason I contacted Tmobile UK is that we are about to get 4G and they are pushing it in adverts. Tmobile and Orange are to be named EE, this is the Email :-
Superfast is on its way
Hello John
Everything Everywhere, the company behind T-Mobile and Orange is about to launch a new brand called EE.
EE is the new brand for a digital age and will offer the UK's first mobile 4G network and Fibre Broadband for the home, along with the UK's biggest 3G network. 4G will give you superfast internet on the move, making things like downloads, Facebook® and YouTube™ unbelievably quick.
It's all good news for you
As a T-Mobile customer you'll now use EE's new 3G network, the biggest in the UK. Soon you'll start to see EE on your phone screen.
We will be replacing your local T-Mobile and Orange stores with exciting new EE stores, giving you access to almost twice as many stores as today. These EE stores will be staffed by teams of brilliantly helpful people – including specialists in smartphones and systems like Apple, BlackBerry®, Android and Microsoft.
As part of these changes, if you pay by Direct Debit, you'll notice that the name on your bank statement will change to "EE and T-Mobile" within the next two months.
Still the T-Mobile you know and love
You will continue to be a T-Mobile customer. Everything you love about T-Mobile will stay exactly the same. You'll still enjoy the same great value, and your number and plan details won't change either. If you have any further questions you'll find the answers here
Be one of the first to know
Be one of the first to find out about all the great things EE has to offer, including how to move from T-Mobile to EE to start enjoying 4G as soon as it's ready. Sign up now
It's going to be great
T-Mobile
I didn't want to lumber myself with a phone on a two year contract, so it's not a dumb question for us over here. Thanks for the other replies.

It says new 3G network? I'm really confused.. I think your best bet is to change the thread title and put UK so people know what you're talking about. The difference between the US and UK is pretty huge. You're not going to get much help because the LTE in the US on tmo topic has been beaten to death.
Come on people CLEAR thread titles! Please!!

I still stand behind my post. People should research what is LTE and how it works.

I don't know if live links are allowed. Just take out the spaces.
You will see they have several phones which are LTE enabled. So they are saying it's going to work but the reply from Trish not yet. So I was hoping that someone here and some have given me the info. Your reply was US based and what I wanted was a UK answer.

I already answered it. The i9300 does NOT have LTE. The i9305 does. These are UK phones.

Thanks joshnichols for that.
It's just we over here are getting crossed info and I didn't want to get locked into a long contract with a phone that may or may not work on their network, if it takes a few weeks so be it.
Thanks all.

What's the best way to make this device work in Afghanistan?

So I'll be deploying to Afghanistan soon and I'm wondering if I put my T-Mobile account on hold for the duration, I can just use the WiFi that is on base and use apps like Skype to call home. Any military members have any experience with that? So, I guess what I'm asking is, What is the best way to fully utilize my Note 2 for internet access/calling home using WiFi on base? Do I need to purchase a SIM card or something? I'm not rooted but I have experience with rooting other devices and I'm willing to do so, but right now I have no reason to. Thanks!

Yeah Skype is your best bet depending on what fob you are going to be at. If you are at a big fob or base you will most likely have WiFi if not you might be screwed and have to use the mwr to make your phone calls. Another way is to buy a haji phone when you get there, the only thing is you will spend a crap ton of money on buying minutes. How this helps and good luck on your deployment!

Yes you can do as you suggested. I would recommend you install a few other apps too.
Tango - much like Skype
Google Voice - Good for texting when overseas with your USA phone number (get a Google number or port your number over to Google)
A low cost Voip calling app - for calling land and mobile numbers - I recommend WiCall as they only cost a penny a minute as of today to call any US phone number.
Install a few messaging app for good communication fun. Whatsapp, Line Naver,

iirc phone carriers are required to unlock your phone if you are moving to an area they don't offer service. Call T-Mobile and explain you're deploying with the military. They should probably unlock the device based on that alone. You can tell them you're putting your account on "hold" as well. When you get their buy a hajji(I know Afghans aren't Arabs, they're still hostiles) chip and put it in the phone. If hajji doesn't sell microSIMs you can just cut down a regular SIM card and slide it in. Use a real microSIM to mark where to cut or file the SIM card to.
Iraq had cell service where I was in 06-07 and again in 08. No internet though. Depending on what cities you're near, you might get 3G, Kabul for instance MAY have it. I dunno. Someone where you are going may have opted for satellite internet and be looking to unload their equipment when you arrive also. You can round up some people to split the cost if you want.
edit - The SIM card is gonna be more expensive obviously, you'll want to use that if you can't get wifi for any reason, a last resort if you will.

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Nexus on MetroPCS' new BYOP plan?

Hey guys, I've been a reader of XDA for years now but for the first time in my history here I wasn't able to find a precise answer after spending days scouring every resource available. That said, if my question HAS been answered before, I throw myself to your mercy and beg forgiveness
As some of your are no doubt aware, MetroPCS is now offering a pilot program in select metropolitan areas where they will allow you to bring your own CDMA device to their network. I live in one of the pilot areas for this program (DFW). Depending on which resource I'm reading I gather that the toro either CAN'T be flashed to other carriers or that it can but that doing so is a very intensive process. My question is whether or not this new offering from MetroPCS changes the traditional answer in any way. After doing as much research as I could online I also went to a MetroPCS store and spoke with an associate who told me that all I'd need to do was buy one of their SIM cards ($18) and pay for the first month of service and I'd be good to go. I also had a look at the SIM card they are offering, and it looks identical in dimension to the 4G LTE SIM currently in my GNex. Being naturally suspicious of anything that seems to simple to be true, I held off on taking the plunge until I could pick the collective brain of XDA to be sure. The associate did guarantee that I would have access to calls, text and at least 3G data, no LTE for obvious reasons.
If this will legitimately work I'd be willing to do whatever necessary to make it work with my GNex. With regards to my familiarity and comfort level with the toro, I bought it within the first month it was out and unlocked and rooted it right away. I change my ROM somewhere bordering between frequently and ZOMGCRACKFLASH!!!1 so I'm fairly intimately acquainted with my phone and what to do when things go wrong. ADB, fastboot etc. are well within my comfort level and I'm the kind of guy that if you give me direct instructions on a process I can follow them precisely and not panic if it doesn't work right the first time. Backtrack, evaluate and try again. I'd like to hope that it will be as simple as switching the SIM but part of me knows better and would be willing to go through the process no matter how long or involved it would be.
On a personal note, I'm not doing this just on a whim or out of curiosity. I've been with Verizon for over four years but about four months ago my father was diagnosed with cancer and I've taken leave from my job to live with and care for him full time. Having no major sustainable income I couldn't keep up with my $170/month family plan bill (my fiance has a GNex too ;p). That said, we both love our phones and would love to continue using them as our primary devices for quite a while if it's at all feasible. Any answers or direction would be greatly appreciated.
TL/DR:
MetroPCS: "Here! Magic SIM make stubborn toro work on our network!"
Me: "I smell either a trap or witchcraft..."
Esteemed XDA Guru/technopath: "<ACTUAL ANSWER HERE>"
Thanks for your time

you would need to modify the VIA Chipset firmware to work for metroPCS. there is a thread about this somewhere, just search for VIA chipset, or VIA or something like that in the title.
LTE would not work. period. different frequencies.
In short, metroPCS guy = idiot.

[Q] Verizon or T-Mobile?

I've looked and looked and if I missed something, I apologize.
I'm currently on Verizon. I left T-Mobile way back when to get the Incredible and upgraded to the GNEX the day it became available. I carried over my unlimited data and now I'm just a little pissed I have to give it up (or pay full price or pay for an extra line).
I've been out of the loop for some time, but browse the forums enough to hear people complain about the CDMA phones (mostly been with the GNEX). The One is offered on Verizon and T-Mobile and now I'm able to stay and upgrade or leave and go elsewhere.
I've had and loved T-Mo before. Their service here is just as good as Verizon. I also enjoy their surf the net while you talk (mom can rambe sometimes).
But I can find a plan with either one...
Should I get away from Verizon's phones for a T-mobile. Is it easier to unlock/root/ROM? Is there more support for those things (Dev working on new updates)?
Thanks in advance. Sorry if there is something I missed.

The Verizon HTC One is newer and will not have root or a bootloader unlock immediately, but considering the T-Mobile HTC One has been around for months now, it most likely has a working root. If you stay with Verizon we will most likely get a root and bootloader unlock within a week or two. It's your choice. Which carrier do you prefer? Why did you pick Verizon in the first place if coverage is the same?

I left verizon for the G1 on T-Mobile then left T-Mobile for the HTC Incredible. Since I have my eye on the One and can get it on either I wanted to know which provider (or version of phone actually) would be better,
I'm sure someone will come up with something for the Verizon version, I just wanted to know which would have more support for ROMs and such in the future. With my GNEX, it always seemed the GSM version had more and quicker updates.
I really don't prefer one over the other, but I guess I'm just upset Verizon won't let me keep my Unlimited and T-Mobile offers it still.

Bootloader unlock already works per dev. forum.

I tried T-Mobile and the coverage in my area was terrible and was forced to switch back to Verizon. Just be careful and really check that coverage map!

I know Verizon is great as far as coverage, but I know T-Mobile isn't bad in my area either.
I just really want to know if there will be developers that care about this version like I'm sure they are with the GSM version.
I am glad to see that it's unlockable (for now). That puts even more of a time crunch as I'm sure Verizon will have an OTA out there to kill that soon....

I did 2 months of t-mobile prepaid just to test our their new LTE network in my area (San Jose Bay Area, CA). I have 2 verizon lines, 1 for work and 1 for person.
Yesterday, I officially terminated my personal Verizon line and moved the number to T-Mobile. While T-Mobile's 3G/4G HSPA reception is shotty, their LTE network in San Jose is extremely solid and robust, especially considering how new it is.
Just my thoughts and opinions.

I just switched from Verizon to T Mobile, I tested it out for a week before I ported my line. T Mobile is just as fast here in Chicago and about $50 lower a month than Verizon. If you travel I would probably stick with Verizon. I just went from Chicago to NJ and had terrible to no signal through OH & PA.

I have used both carriers. In my opinion Verizon has the best coverage, but t mobile has the cheapest plan. When I was with Verizon I paid 130 a month and right know I'm only paying 70 a month for t mobile for unlimited everything.

To be honest, I just figured this out last night as I was on hold on a call and answering emails. I remember I wasn't able to do that at one point, and never even noticed the change. The commercials come to mind of other carriers making fun of Verizon not being able to do that so I never even tried. Since at work and at home (if not on wifi) I'm usually only a 3G signal anyway if it worked I wouldn't have noticed. And I live/work in Norfolk VA which is not exactly the middle of nowhere. Maybe my GNEX just sucks...... I dont know. This is a congested area though so maybe that's why?
I went to both last night. The guy that helped me at Verizon was reason enough to quit them and never go back. The entire time I had to talk over his football game on his iPhone. Had it connected to a speaker and had it on full blast. I actually had to repeat myself numerous times... a**hole. He made it quite clear I was a nuisance to him.
I know I'm comparing two different phones and I'm sure any other radio out now will blow away whatever is on my GNEX, but speedtest on Verizon was low teens while T-Mobile was constantly over 20 on the One
I may just make the switch. If I travel I can use wifi if I don't have service. Every McDonalds and Starbucks has it, so I'm not worried (those are EVERYWHERE :laugh. and either way, I believe I'll just buy the phone outright.
I guess I still have the question of GSM vs CDMA. Since Google is pushing the updates for the GSM version, would that be the way to go?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I just don't want to make the decision to realize it was the wrong one. Other's advice is always appreciated.

buy T-Mobile. It runs same roms as universal so development will always be more. And if tmo had service as good as Verizon here, I'd be on it. It's so much cheaper.

If you was one of the lucky few when the HTC one was first launched then you was able to unlock through HTC dev before Verizon issued the stop. Now if you want an unlocked bootloader you need to find a person like sonic with a java card to unlock your phone for a fee.
Now some has said there are devs who possibly found an exploit but are waiting until Verizon updates the phone to 4.3 so they can't patch the exploit right off the bat.

If your service is the same, then t-mobile is clearly the better choice. However if you plan on moving around at all, I'd be very wary of t-mobile. I too left verizon for t-mobile once and went back because Verizon had superior coverage. T-mobile was great in most areas, except where they weren't. Verizon was always good, everywhere coverage wise
