Hi
I recently got HD2 (US) with tmobile after upgarde. My question is, "Is there any way to hide phone's identity on their website". Like for testing I checked website, it shows i am using HD2 -- then I took out the sim card and inserted in my old phone samsung katalyst...Next day i checked website it automatically changed information in my profile that I am now using samsung katalyst.
I want to know if is there any way to change some settings in phone or use some application, so when I put simcard back in HD2....It doesn't show on tmobile website, that I am using HD2. (by the way I got unlock code from t-mobile website - officially and have unlocked my HD2..if it helps to solve the question.)
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I have seen that an unlocked Streak should work on Bell in Canada. My current phone is an HTC Touch (CDMA) and I have acquired a Bell SIM card for my Streak. After inserting it into the phone (Twice - once in store and once at home through online site) it finds Bell under Networks, but fails to connect stating the following:
Unable to connect to the network at this time. Please try again later.
Here are the details of the Unlocked UMTS Streak I have originally from Dell.com:
1 225-0059 Streak UMTS Base
1 318-0145 Carbon,Streak
1 317-1902 16GB SD Memory Card
1 331-0805 Black Barcode label,16GB,UMTS,No SIM, Online,Unlocked,Streak
1 331-0789 Dell Streak Documentation & Manual, Unlocked
1 926-0563 Advanced Exchange Limited Warranty Initial Year
...
Please let me know what I need to change/do to get this activated. I really want to have this up and running and eventually add a HSPA/3G data plan.
Is it any settings that need to change or do I have the wrong hardware? Let me know if further information/clarification is required.
Additionally, from my understanding, the first SIM that was activated in-store(and correspondingly deactivated) was wasted since I had to switch back to my HTC Touch to have a working phone. Is this a valid assumption?
Thanks and I really hope someone can save me. I did not purchase this solely for usage as a tablet. Lastly, in store when the representative tried my serial/IMEI it stated that the phone should in fact work.
Thanks,
Jazz
It should work but maybe try this:
In the dialer type *#*#307#*#* to Enable engineering apps in launcher
Then go to EMList in you app list. In EMList choose network settings, try and see if all of your networks are enabled. See if that works, then maybe check your APN settings as well as make sure the phone is set to WCDMA only. Rogers and Bell share a lot of the same frequencies. Obviously the unlock on your phone is good because it wouldn't let you use a SIM otherwise.
The MyTouch didn't have a CDMA version, just a WCDMA version I think so the frequencies should be fine. Maybe try doing a factory reset might help too.
Hello,
Thanks for rapid response
I tried the dialer thing provided and it says ensure correct Passport is on the SD card. Not sure how to proceed there?
EMlist does not come up, however, SIM Toolkit looks new?
APN settings are blank and I set the Streak to WCDMA only.
I was not sure what you meant by MyTouch. My previous model was an HTC Touch.
I think if there are no more options, I may factory reset?
Please let me know and thanks for your help!
Hello
After performing a simple reset (on/off) the device works and is now stating that it is on the Bell network. Thanks again for all of your help! I am very excited about this.
Great! So yours is working. I just bought my Dell Streak last night, I have the exact same problem you had, except, rebooting the phone has not worked. I've even purchased an unlock code, and unlocked my phone again, still doesnt work! What do I do, please, someone help me.. -.-
Hi folks,
I wanted to unlock my Mozart (branded on Orange France) by code purchased in one of these website from US.
The unlocking code was given, I enter it when asking and then no network service. crossed ring on the left high corner.
I made a hard and a soft reset
I install HTC sync connexion application on market place and configure it but still the same troubles: The handy search for a network but keep on No service.
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your help.
Speak to your operator

I bought an Atrix that was sparingly used for two weeks locked to AT&T. I will be using it in India and have just ordered for an unlock code from cellunlock.
I want help to ensure I don't make the same mistakes some people have that might cause the Wi-Fi issue.
A motoblur account has already been created by the previous owner and i get the screen "Sim card is removed or changed , log into Motoblur to unlock".
I only have emergency call, set up APN, set up wi-fi and IMEI number as my options.
The wi-fi is connected at home to my router but I cant seem to access any browser -- everything leads me only to one screen which is the motoblur account screen as mentioned above.
I hence created a new Motoblur account on Motorola but I cannot log in -- " Username or Password incorrect"
(i) How do I use the new Motoblur account I created ? Should I ask the previous owner for his Motoblur username and password and then unlock it after receiving the unlock code from cellunlock ? (Read about IMEI# being tied to Motoblur)
(ii) Do I unlock it first after putting in my new sim and unlock code from cellunlock and then hard-reset the phone to enable my Motoblur account?
I want to be doubly sure to ensure I dont make any mistakes. The phone is with me in India and any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Update: Successfully unlocked using cellunlock code but still face problem of "Sim Card is changed or removed"
The indian Carrier Airtel is shown on the right top corner and the phone shows I'm connected to my homes netgear wi-fi but I can't access any browser.
I tired Hard resetting it as mentioned in one thread but it got stuck after choosing the Android Recovery selection -- A yellow triangle and Android logo appeared but nothing happened after Tapping the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Do i contact the original user of the phone for his motoblur Id?
Please help me guys.
Hi Everyone,
I have just joined Giffgaff in the UK as service provider. They use O2 network so they are classed as a "virtual provider" as far as I know.
I have entered the APN info in order to get on the net and send mails and all works great. But, I cannot send MMS.
>there is no place in the OS to enter MMS details
>on MSFT site it said that the phone will read the SIM on first boot assuming ADC is enabled.
>I reset the phone and still no MMS
> I ring Nokia and they tell me that ADC is in fact enabled in unlocked Lumias.
>how can I check this?
>others say to install the network setup app but I can't because I don't have the very latest firmware
>some have tried this and now say that Giffgaff is not in the drop down menu so therefore can't be used.
So, as I am chevron unlocked, is there any way to change registry settings to ensure that ADC is enabled and therefore hopefully read the info from the sim card?
As long as your phone is debranded the handset should read the SIM card settings after a hard reset.
You should also be able to install the Network Setup app once it is released again (hopefully soon) after it was taken down to be updated.
If your phone isn't debranded then hard resetting won't help and you won't be able to install the Network Setup app. You won't even be able to see it in the Marketplace.
See this thread for more information on debranding.
See this thread for more information on Network Setup app/MMS/ADC.
Thanks for this great info. My phone was bought from Clove and is supposed to be unlocked. There is no branding other than Nokia. The problem is, I think, the fact that ADC may not be enabled even though it is unlocked. I called Nokia to make sure and they told me that all unlocked phones had ADC enabled and it was only carrier phones that had this functionality disabled. I somehow do not believe this.
If auto data config is not enabled then the info on the sim, card canot be read. And I reset my phone in the hope that I could get the MMS details this way but no success. I have read elsewhere as well that even I can get the network setup app from marketplace it will still not work because Giffgaff are not included as a service provider at this stage. Oh, what to do. WHy could MSFT not have given us this functionality within the OS in the same way as our old winmo platform.:-(
Network Setup app has been available for awhile already, at least for me. I just received an update for it through Marketplace this morning.

Network setup is not even in my marketplace because I am running 11451 firmware and it is only available in th every latest firmware (according to Nokia). And anyway, even if I had network setup available to me there is no mention of Giffgaff as a provider so I still cannot get MMS settings on my unlocked Nokia Lumia 800. What we need is either a MSFT update allowing us to change MMS settings or Nokia to include Giffgaff on their app. I think its that simple.
The network setup app came avalible today in the UK.
It would install and run but still couldnt send MMS on a vodafone branded device, so ive just debranded and its all working fine.
So i can now send and recive MMS
We need to get Giffgaff included on Nokia network setup app; simple as!

Hello guys.. My cousin lives in the US and he purchased an LG V60 recently - unlocked ofcourse. Now the thing is, the messaging service is totally off. The stock app isn't sending/receiving texts.
He has already tried using a lot of messaging apps (setting them to default), also inquired that the phone is unlocked, removing & reinstalling SIM and even getting the SIM card replaced. They even tried network reset and band changing stuff but it didn't help.
Even in Google Messages, He gets the msgs hours or days later & whenever he tries to send a msg, it shows either "Sending..." Or "Insert SIM card to avail this feature". But if he restarts the phone, since the app hasn't sent the text, it says "Tap to Resend". On tapping, it works fine but only for each and every msg - whether sent or received.
If you know a way, or have encountered this with any android, please help !
there's a lot of info missing here, fyi
- what's the carrier?
-are they on latest update?
-what us the exact model number, look into setting. this will tell us the variant of LG v60 your cousin has.
-did they attempt any tampering with bootloader or rooting?
-do they have good signal?
give us all the info to better help. add as much info to each answer as possible.
TRY THE FOLLOWING
factory reset the APN settings.
next if that fails, factory reset the phone.
I'M also in the US and have used many messaging apps and have had none of these issues.
I asked him about the questions and this is the exact reply :
1- My current carrier is Mint Mobile. (They use T-mobile's network)
2- My phone is on Latest update on everything (OS, messages, etc )
3- Exact Model number - LG V60 Thinq 5G LM-V600TM
4- I didn't tamper with bootloader or rooting.
5- Good signal ? Yes. I have full bars and it has been confirmed by Mint mobile customer service. They've checked it multiple times and made sure that that's not the reason I'm having problems with Messaging.
He has also done network settings reset upon request of the customer care from Mint mobile. They said sometimes that helps. Other than that, he hasn't done anything apart from changing the default app from LG's to Google's Messages.
He just noticed this [attached image] today from Settings - Network and Internet - Mobile networks - Network Unlock(View Current status and inquire Network Unlock Eligibility) But when he talked with T-Mobile Customer Care a few days ago, he gave them IMEI and they said it's unlocked & that he's free to use it anywhere.
P.S. He isn't into Custom ROMs & modding & I don't know much about Unlocked phones so I had nowhere else to go for help. Thanks for taking the time out to reply
