SIM unlock codes should be numeric, no letters.
really?,aha!!
thank you lots m8ty,youve cheered me right up.. :laugh::good:
ok,tried just the number,no joy tho.
the code sender sent instructions but the android phone keypad seems broken?.
"1 - Switch ON your phone without SIM Card,
2 - Compose #PW+CODE+1#
The letter P appear after press 3 times quickly the button star ( * )
The letter W appear after press 4 times quickly the button star ( * )
The letter + appear after press 2 times quickly the button star ( * )"
have tried and tried but i just get 3 stars 4stars etc.
letter + comes from the zero key and works(no other letters do)
is it likely anroid keypad is broken?
thanks

Try to keep the star pushed for some seconds instead of pressing them 2-3-4 times. May work...
Have managed to get the * key to show a , and the # key to show a ; lol.
Think ill just sell it,had enough.
Glad i kept my flyer as a backup.
Thanks for trying guys.
p = pause, same as comma
w = wait, same as semicolon
I still don't know why those would be part of the unlock code.

Hi dual-owners,
Anyone has a problem where when typing using the keypad (slideout keypad) you cant use the navigate button (left/right) to select the predictive word options.
U will need to touch the word option instead.
I think there was only one time where I could successfully use the navigation to select the words when typing?
Is this a common problem??
Thanks

Not me. I always navigate right and left with the button... Have you tried a soft-reset?
still a problem
Yes Sir,
I tried many soft resets - seemed weird at 1st but thought thats the best they (HTC)could do with a slide out keypad.
The navigation button to select word option works when ur not using the keypad (slid back in) but once u start to use it - the navigation button just wont work for me. have to reach up and select a tiny word option (which most of the time i miss) ..
This is my 1st PPC (sold my slow n95) and i love it except for this little annoyance + no wifi
So fellow PPC owners- if anyone has a solution i'll be grateful.
cheers
try hard resetting your device, (note not a soft reset.)
as it works fine on my orange branded touch dual.
it could be related to the operator rom that is on it, but i wouldn;t expect so.
Hi there,
I also have the same problem.
I also tried many soft reset but is the same.
I found PQz II Keyboard has an issue with this problem.
After uninstalling it, actually I had a hard reset and then install software one by one, the problem has gone.
Hope this help.
Yup thanks! all!
Did a hard reset and everything is back to normal (all workin fine now)- oh yeah the blank notification thingy is also gone -
Be AWARE: prior to hard reset make sure ur files in the storage arent encrypted and at least back em up somewhere. Cause my files (pics and music etc) became unreadable after the hard reset . (this is due to the encryption key that was auto-set by the phoneware on my "phone-state" prior to hard reset.)
Cheers
Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual
this is not the problem
u can see teh 1 botton keyboard only on some applications like contacts but when you try to make a new sms or email you can see the 2 or 3 botton keyboard nothing can change that unless someone here in the forum will have a tool or reg fix for it
gd luck

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard too...
If this has been posted before, go ahead and /dev/null this mods.

Most of these are linkable via Better Cut as well.
Codes - How to
For those wondering what these programmer (or developer) codes are and how all this done:
These are programming codes and "support" or service dept. codes to get to various menus and interfaces on the Vibrant.
All phones have these and they are typically only known to developers, tech support and even some customer service reps for use when people call in a panic to say the phone is on the fritz.
WARNING: I WOULD NOT ENTER CODES UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE BELOW AND KNOW WHAT THEY DO. (Some codes are harmless if you screw things up, others may brick your phone, perform a hard reset, delete apps, render the phone and parts of it inoperable, or negatively affect functionality.)
For example, where the OP says "Information on camera" code, be careful on hitting certain menu options on that interface. I don't see a need, at this stage anyway since the Vibrant is so new, to enter that code, so why not avoid problems by not entering it.
After all, the camera code does not do that much for the end user (that's you). Two of the menu options do in fact give you info on what camera software version is running your camera but until Samsung provides a camera firmware update, what good does it do you to know what is running the camera.
But two of the options that you might be tempted to press say:
"Update camera firmware in image" - that's on the ROM.
"Update camera firmware in SD card"
You might think those check the Net for an update, similar to what can be done in Android Settings. But pressing those menu items does NOT access the Net.
If you press either of those it will DELETE the existing camera software on your ROM. It will then look for the update. Since you don't have one, the update will be incomplete and your camera will be inoperable because you deleted the software required to operate it.
Then you're stuck with making a warranty claim saying "My camera stopped working" and hoping they don't discover that you deleted the software and refuse the claim (or charge you for the software reinstall.) Note: I don't know if reinstalling the ROM that's on the Vibrant will reinstall the camera software.
So be careful.
____________________
Still adventurous? (I know you want to enter some codes, just for the fun of it.) Well here's how it all works:
1. You enter these codes via your phone dialer, enter the numbers as if you are going to make a phone call. (I have had some people ask me that, where do I type in the numbers.)
2. On all code entries you will always type a *#*# at the beginning of the code entry. This tells the Samsung Galaxy S that a code is about to be entered (that is, the numeral after the last #).
3. At the end of the entry you will type combinations of the #*# or whatever is indicated. This is to get you out of the phone dialer and into menu interfaces of whatever you are trying to do or to activate the command.
4. On entering the last character of the code a menu will pop up, where I say it should or the command will be executed.
Here's a teaser code, I will enter all kinds of them later.
This one is harmless if you screw it up entry wise.
This is the code that the OP mentions, but I will explain it a bit more.
____________________
You are probably aware that when you press the power button on the right side of the Vibrant a menu comes up with choices of putting the phone in airplane mode, silent mode, and power off.
Well this code can change the power button's function to just turn off the phone when you press it, that is, rather than a menu popping up. This basically saves you the additional step of having to press a menu item to turn off the phone.
(You can enter the same code and change it back to where the pop-up menu appears when pressing the power button.)
Here is what you do.
1. Go to your phone dialer.
2. Enter this code: *#*#7594#*#*
3. On entering code a window/graphic will pop up that says
"Shutdown - Enable to Shutdown on End call long press." (Note: Although it says "end call" what it means for the Vibrant is the physical power button on the top right side of the phone. There is no physical "end call" button on the Vibrant. End call is performed with a touchscreen command.)
4. There will be a box to check and uncheck. On accessing this the first time the box should be unchecked.
5. Check the box. A green check mark will appear.
6. Back out of the page by pressing your back button until you get to your home page, or simply press the Home button.
7. You do NOT have to reboot for the change to take affect.
8. You can try it out by pressing the power button. If you did things right the phone will automatically power off.
Bonus Tip: You can enter the codes in your contacts, with a descriptive name and the code in the phone number field. While you can't "dial" the codes from the contacts menu you will at least have reference to them. (And you can sometimes perform a copy and paste.)
I would like to add that *#*#7412365#*#* brings up a Camera Firmware page that includes both the phone and camera firmware information, as well as the ability to flash new camera firmware.
I did the power button one yesterday and it's nice but out kills my lock screen too. I like the way the puzzle thingy and the lock screen in general is set up so I'm torn.

Yes, that's what I mentioned in my perhaps way-too-long post.
That's the code I say to avoid because it does not serve any purpose, because:
1. At this time, since the Vibrant is so new, it does not matter what version software the camera is using. We have to assume it's the latest. Even if it's not, we can't change it since Samsung has not provided a camera firmware upgrade. And,
2. Pressing the update (flashing) camera options will "brick" the camera since the operation will first delete the camera firmware and then search for an update. Because you don't have one, the camera will be rendered inoperable.
Through my hours scavenging XDA and related sites, I've found ways of getting past activation. If your not aware the MOTO Droid bypass trick (by hitting the corners) won't work on the Eris, atleast with the ROMs I've used. But here are some helpful things to try to keep your Eris from being a paperweight.
....Easiest things first.....
This has never worked for me but it wouldn't hurt to try it:
At the activation screen right before you call to activate,(below the statusbar)tap the top left corner of the screen then the top right, then continue to the bottom (just above the call button) and then tap right above the emergency call button. Then it should say skip activation
...Now for things that have worked for me in previous builds.....
Tap the activate or "try again" button then hang up. Do this 3 or 4 times. That should do the trick
.....One that sounds like it should work for 2.0.....
Press activate then immeadetly press home or menu. This is actually a bug they fixed in the OTA update.
...The one that always works for me...
On any screen you will see the emergency call button
Push it.. yes now push the button, no it will not call the cops
Now dial ##778 and push call
Wait a sec and push edit
This will open up your phone activation settings
Now go into your NAM settings and look for anything that resembles a phone number, I had to mess around with it a bit. But I changed some values from 00000000631 to some random number. After that push menu and write the values then reboot. If you did it right you will see the tutorial on how to enter text.
Hope this helped

By Pass Activation
This is what worked for me. No I didn't figure it out, whoever did is a genius.
As many people notice tapping 4 corners on HTC eris doesnt work because the version of it is different from regular DROID but this is the only way you can bypass it.
STEP 1) press EMERGENCY CALL
STEP 2) DIAL ##778 (CALL)
STEP 3) PRESS EDIT MODE
STEP 4) ENTER PASSWORD WHICH IS: 000000
STEP 5) TAP NAM Settings
STEP 6) Enter Your 10 digit phone number press OK
STEP 7) TAP NAM 1 and enter you 7 digid cel phone number without area code
STEP 8) TAP NAM 2 enter your 3 digit area code
STEP 9) TAP back
STEP 10) TAP SID/NID settings and change the left box to: 40 leave the right box as it is(then tap ok)
STEP 11) TAP MENU
STEP 12) TAP COMMIT MOD.
AFTER STEP 12 the android eris will restart in 10 seconds and will bypass the main activation screen.
This is the manual configuation for HTC ERIS
All Not working
I have tried all the above options, but non seems to be working (maybe its new firmware, and all have been blocked)
Any1 knows of any new hacks to bypass the activation ?
BTW, I have unlocked the GSM part with xtc clip
Thanks

Are you trying this from a stock based sense ROM like xtrsense? Or an aosp/cm ROM? It won't work on aosp/cm. You need to be on stock based.

I thanked your post anyway even though you revived a thread that's been inactive for five years.
does any one know how to activate type and send automaticaly after you slide open the keyboard (as advertised by SE).
ps: how long should it take to turn the screen on once you press the home or power key from idle when the screen is off???
Mine takes about a second or so.

I think you have to press the "Q" letter to activate it.
If i just start typing - anything random, it skips the first letter but gets the rest.
Edit:
That's with the type&send widget on the homescreen
it is true you open the slide keyboard and start to type in google search, but SE advertised a smart keyboard once you open you start typing a message and ur given options to choose(sms,facebook,twiter), theres is an option in settings that should activate but there is no diference on my phone either its ticked or not......
the default for typing is the search function, put the type and send widget on a homescreen to change the default to that.
thanks dude,
does the box where you write sms get bigger once u start typing an answer for an sms recieved??
and occupies allmost all the screen???
yea, it' the fault of the "smart" keyboard i think
