is it sim-unlocked?

Hi
Could you tell me if the phone is able to show the 576MB of memory? It should be in the 'About Phone' menu options. The last I remember is that this was a kernel fix and most of the custom ROM's now have a fix for it.

Those details aren't within the "About Phone" area im afraid - cant find them anywhere.. Hardware Info only shows Wifi Mac Address and Bluetooth Address.

Damn that AMOLED screen looks amazing :drool:
Will be the first time I see/own a AMOLED screen. Somewhere in April I will be getting the Desire.. enjoying my HD2 until I sell it.

Just received mine from T-Mobile today as well, though noticed that there is no voice search built in...any suggestions on how to add this? Looking for a suitable apk atm (if any rom chefs have it to hand it would be much appreciated!)

Ok mate, many thanks for your help with this. I had a nexus one which didn't initially show full memory, but now there is a patch which lets the OS see it all and use it. I am expecting that that fix is already in the kernel.
Thanks, enjoy your phone; I will, on monday..

Hi guys,
I just registered but been reading these boars for a little while.
I was wondering if someone who just got the phone could tell me the exact size of the screen (in cm or mm if possible).
I ordered screen protectors from Germany, got them today but they look too small for the phone. Since I don't have mine yet (not until April 5th), I need to confirm or infirm that they sent me the wrong size.
Thanks guys!

I can tell you the answer to this - because i bought the same screen protectors .
Yes they are to small.. Completely useless purchase.

Also, can't seem to find a way to kill Sense...wanted to check out vanilla Android 2.1 but if I remove the defaults from HTC Sense and kill the app it just restarts...

Hey guys could you tell me which ebay user you bought the protectors from? I have ordered some too and my desire is coming on monday...
I bought from protectionfilms24, if they're too small I'll have to complain!
Thanks

Thats the one bud - rip off.. I cba chasing a refund for the sake of £2.50, as it'll mean sending them back.

Yup, they're the same ones I got as well, same Ebay seller.
Bummer, now I wonder where to find good ones. Maybe the official ones on play.com?

Same thing as the HTC Hero -
http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/22/how-to-turn-off-htc-sense/

shucks. what a rip off!! I think I'll go to play.com to order the official ones then. On another note, is everyone who's unlocking pretty much stuck on doing it through t-mobile then?

I emailed the seller, they said they're gonna check if they didn't send me the wrong size. They replied only a couple of hours after I emailed them so I guess they're pretty trustworthy, at least on this.
Just fyi, the protectors I have are 52*31 mm in size.

Prem root dinc 2

Hey found this link is this unreal or real?

Dinc2

I read on clicked the link there is no option for the dinc2

That must be a mistake. If it was possible it would be all over this place. Would be nice, though.

Has anyone tried it?
sent using my droid incredible 2

If anyone read the site, it's for the inc1... unrevoked only supports inc1, not inc2.. nothing to see here.

I did find something interesting on the internet. I googled VIVO_W XB SHIP S-OFF and came up with a few threads in chinese of people that have this. I don't know if contacting them for their information would help us. Their software is the same as ours but showing s-off

From what I am reading, a lot of them were trying to flash IS roms onto S-OFF I2. They were *I AM GUESSING* probably told that they are buying an imported IS and doesn't realize it's actually an entirely different model.
Nothing really to see here in terms of breakthroughs... there's a way to S-OFF these VZW I2's... there's a list of address on their forums, but China is kind of far from NY.... haha
EDIT:
PS. There seems to be couple of reasons why they really like our I2s over their own domestic S710d. First being that ours are made in Taiwan instead of China, I am guessing the quality is better? and the Second being that it is said the domestic S710d are not S-OFF able as of right now, and only the VZW rom can support WCDMA on top of EVDO and 1X.
My own speculation, it seems like it's an XTC-clip based method from how people are describing it. I will be following their forum closely and will post here if found anything new.

Haha! my bad.

Bah. I wanted the Incredible 2, but maybe my OG Droid will have to keep kicking until they announce a phone officially with an unlocked boot loader. I don't think they'll do it retroactively, but I'd love them more if they do. I want an Inc 2!

i just got my inc2 from my second insurance claim this year, so i can't 'break' my phone to get one of the new unlocked ones, i really hope they unlock it with an ota, or maybe 'leak' the keys to some devs, so they can do it for us..

I've only had mine a couple weeks. I'm not the type to commit insurance fraud to try to get an unlocked one. I was just joking but I know claims will go up with some people trying to get a new unlocked one.
I have another upgrade in October so I can wait if necessary. I have a feeling they won't be retroactive but the codes may be leaked somehow.
Yup...Tapatalk'd

Ya I'm not either, I've dropped my phone off my balcony twice now in a year, but even if I was super tempted I couldn't anyway. Realistically they won't be retroactive but we can all hope they will leak the keys.

I don't see why all you guys are so doubtful that HTC will unlock phones that have already been released. The Inc 2 is less than a couple months old, there's no reason to believe that HTC would not apply their new stance to it. My worst case scenario is that we have to wait for the first OTA update (hopefully to GB) before it is unlocked. Even if they for some reason choose not to unlock it, the newer unlocked phones will almost certainly provide some insight on how to unlock this one. Have patience, this phone is pretty amazing without root anyway, there's no reason to be so desperate for it.

Here's to hoping that the policy reversal is retroactive! *clicks champagne glass to yours"

There's someone in the IS forum claiming they got prem root (heh, see what I did there?) without hardware. So far all that's been posted is a youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_V7xo3qug
I'm taking this with a grain of salt, however. When I see the process reproduced by other people, or instructions I can follow and see for myself, I'll believe it then. Hopefully if the process is publicized it will also work on the I2, given how similar the devices are.
WE WILL SEE!
(I'm not posting the link to the thread because it's full of vitriol and has no substance nor information outside of the video concerning this revelation.)

Actually, where have you been? The IS has XTC Clip working on all but the Bell branded version of it, and that is the only unlock method available. The video seems to indicate, and the person who posted it implies, that a non hardware method was found, meaning no XTC Clip required.
I do read that forum on occasion in hopes that whatever they find works on our side as well So far almost all of the exploits found to work on the IS work on the I2 as well. The one difference in filesystems is probably the only thing that separates them enough for soft perm root on IS to fail on I2. I did say that I hope it works for us as well.

your device must be fully paid, & you must have been a customer for at least 45 days.
if you satisfy those requirements, you qualify for a free unlock from tmobile.
otherwise, head on over to cellunlocker.net

I too will be taking this phone internationally. My phone is paid off and I have been on the prepaid for 6 months but post paid for 4 days. I wonder what tmobile will do with my request.

I bought a new S4 at full retail price from T-Mobile. I am travelling to Europe next week and wanted to get it unlocked. I tried to get it unlocked by chatting with a rep online and they said I had to be a customer in good standing for 40 days ( I just switched over from Sprint) and that they wouldn't even bother submitting the unlock request. This is NOT what is says on their website (see: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588) Their website says that if you pay full retail price you only need to have an account in good standing to unlock. Based on what the website said, I went to the store, they took a look at the website and called up the unlock team and submitted an unlock request. I was supposed to get a response from the unlock team in 24-48 hours, but 96 hours later when I had still not heard from them, I just used cellunlocker.net. 10 mins and $24 later I got the code.
One thing to note: cellunlocker.net gives you a bunch of ways to enter the code, but the only way that worked for me was to insert a different SIM, so if you do get a code from them you may want to make sure you have access to a SIM on a different network.

As I mentioned, I paid full retail price for mine. If you read the rest of that page there is a section for people who paid full retail price. There is no 40 day requirement in that case.

If it were stolen and "blacklisted", I doubt the device would be working fine.
Unless "blacklisted" is only effective for use in the USA, as Google suggests.
Google:
............... Blacklisted phones can’t be used in the United States, but some companies can unlock them for international use.

Mine is a Verizon phone purchased form UAE, it also shows blacklisted but it works just fine. I receive monthly updates without any problem, even adb sideloaded android pie full OTA when it got released. Main issue with mine is that I cannot unlock its bootloader so obviously can't root it but i believe you can unlock yours and root it.

If it's working and it says it's blacklisted, it's probably a U.S. only thing as Google suggests.

Clearly someone managed to get Google financing and stopped making payments. So no, you didn't buy a stolen phone. Anyway, the blacklist carriers use here in the United States is only effective if the phone itself is in the US. In your case, where you are in Pakistan, the device will work normally even though it's blacklisted.
For a period of time there was talk of every carrier worldwide using the same blacklist, which would really ruin your day. As of now, obviously nothing has come of it.

Generally a IMEI will only be blacklisted in the country it was reported stolen.

Question IMEI 00000

Hii have a zfold 4 f936b bought from eBay.
It says IMEI is 00000000 and when I insert sim nothing happens.
Any idea what are my options ? Some people say is a demo phone but it don't look like some other says the user trying to root it but failed. Obviously eBay seller won't take any responsibility
Look forward for your comments.

I waited to long can't do it now . Now my only hope it's to find a way to make this work more than using it as a tablet

when you bought the phone. was it specified in the ebay description that the phone is faulty/locked/imei probelm/etc? was it ":buy as is"? if yes, then you might be in a bit of a pickle of trying to complain/return it. however, if the description said the phone was fine and had no issues: how long ago was the purchase? if you paid by paypal, i believe you have 45 days from the day you paid to lodge a dispute.

Will take a look

Sorry, meant to respond but was in out of service area..
Yeah, you were ripped off... Someone has done something that has wiped the IMEI number. Unfortunately it is a mother to fix, if it can be (Might lose IMEI everytime the phone is reset).
Been years since I had to play around with that and the programs I used to use probably don't work anymore, if I even had them backed up anywhere...
Unfortunately this is the risk of buying off Ebay.

May be a demo phone, all demo devices sent to retailers have no IMEI ie 00000..
Probably snatched from a TMO or VZW and reflashed.

That's neither here nor there.
All retailers (Best Buy, Walmart, etc), cellular providers, and the rest are sent demo phones with no modems to try and alleviate the chance of a snatch & grab.
Chances are extremely high it's one of those devices.
