Well the only phones I will be getting are tri-band ones. If the note 3 was going to have triband. I would be getting it, but since it does not support sprints newest part of it's network. I will not be getting it and if samsung/sprint decide to make a triband version. I will get it then. But this was a huge disappointment.
Do you go through Sprint?

To me, all Android devices are on the same build quality except HTC. HTC just makes solid phones. The N3 and G2 are basically the same phone except the N3 has the larger screen. But the G2 is quite an upgrade from your S3

Hey all.
Made a video on how to Unlock the Amaze 4G SIM so one can use any other GSM/HSPA+ SIM. Check it out on YouTube and search for user "NY2GAholla". {Can't post links yet!
If you have any questions, hit me up!
Steps: Put a foreign sim card in the phone, type the unlock code and press done. The phone is now unlocked.

Hasoon, maybe you can confirm...I knew that Gsm network providers (att, tmo) used to provide the unlock codes to customers. So long as the customer answered every question they had and didn't suspect the customer to have ill-intentions.
Do they still provide it? Last time I tried thru a carrier, it turned into a two week q&a session and never getting the device unlocked...thru them.
If you wouldn't mind, please share how this works from your stand-point (reseller) from mfr >carrier>customers {ie, where does the device"supplier" you referenced come in?}

If you have T-Mobile and want to unlock an AT&T phone, they won't do it. You have to have the carrier's service and they will unlock the phone that they provide for their network.
With me, it works as MFR -> supplier -> Me -> my customers. My supplier buys the database of codes, I buy the codes from my supplier, my customers buy the codes from me.

Some people doubt and say that they have confirmed with Nokia that it is not compatible with Wind.

Lumia 920 does support WIND mobile?
Just being unlocked is not quite enough: does it also have AWS 1700 enabled? If both, Rogers can expect a flood of orders from T-Mo customers.

Before you get a non-rogers card, can you try doing a manual network selection and verify that you also see Wind mobile listed. IIRC, the Lumia 900 wouldn't even detect Wind.

On the other hand, EG8196 and hkalltheway are the only people in any of these threads who have actually used the phone and they both confirm that it was unlocked out of the box and that they are either using it on Wind or have had Wind show up on a network scan.
All the conflicting evidence is based on Nokia specs and claims which have historically been off base. For example, in the HoFo thread, there is a guy who said Nokia told him the N8 wouldn't work on Wind (we all know it does).

Google Wallet should work although it may not be supported
this is a global phone so yes so long as it supports the frequency. AT&T blocks verizon phones, but they cannot block phones on their LTE service(for the US). so no guarantee
I would grab the Nexus 4 if I could. I would suggest the HTC J Butterfly for the SD card slot so long as it's supported

Even if it says "unsupported" it still works. My Gnex Wallet app has been side-loaded since VZW shut it down and it has since said "unsupported device" yet is has worked just fine.
VZW wants you to use their own NFC payment eventually (see link) plus there are supposedly some security risks with wallet if your device is rooted if I recall correctly.

hopefully with root it will be fixed, since currently i am not rooted and there message pops up and once you tap ok the app closes
This is how it worked for the Vzw gs3
I know on the Verizon galaxy S3 you have to change the build prop to the one x(htc jewel) or use the gsm nexus to get it working and once it's set up you restore the old build prop back and it works.

Doesn't matter, it could be a verizon phone but att will not stop you from using an unlocked phone on their network. Heck you dont even have to activate it with them, all you have to do is, pop your sim in and you are ready to go.

Unfortunately Google wallet will not work even with root and build prop edits. It needs the release keys built into the Rom. From what I understand the sense roms do not have them. We need to wait for aosp and probably s-off

Not "can't", "won't". Verizon will forever claim that it's "for security reasons", but the fact is (and they admit this), that, "As architected by Google, Google Wallet needs to be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones" and "Verizon Wireless asked Google not to include the payment technology on the Nexus, said Nate Tyler, a spokesman for the Mountain View, California-based company." - SOURCE
At the same time, they've working with other carriers to roll out (and have launched) Isis, a competing product. It's CLEAR anti-competitive practices and don't expect that to be tolerated very long.

You can install it but that doesn't matter. The ROM doesn't support the security features of the app so it's useless and Verizon controls the ROM. I don't see why we need S-OFF since we can dev unlock, replace the rom and the kernel. I think we just need AOSP for the DNA before we can get this hacked up (like for the GS3). Can anyone clarify that?
It's actually google that isn't allowing us to have wallet on on certain phones. Dig deep, and you'll be surprised what you find.
They're essentially in bed with VzW. If VzW says no, google abides. Shetty I know.
I have KT smart wallet (Same as Google wallet but from KT telecom in South Korea) pushed through adb and it worked on all stores and subway stations I have been around while in South Korea.
So I can't think of a reason why the Google wallet app itself wouldn't work, unless Google is restricting the use of the app from their network for the DNA.

Someone care to explain what lies behind LG G5 H860N ?

No you don't, you need to do some research. That phone model supports certain bands for 3G/4G networks, go look them up. Then for each carrier you may want to use phone on check what bands they support.

That depends on where you buy it, networks may lock it. Buying a generic handset it will probably be unlocked. Since it's a variant from the main model it may have specific development requirements to support dual SIM.

I mean bootloader and root
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I also came here to ask about the bootloader. @laill, is it unlockable? Have you tried? I'd really like to know as it would be a dealbreaker if it wasn't.
Just to post a bit of an update, the RS988 is now also available on amazon, though only estimated to ship around May 4th; a similar timeline to B&H.

Have a G4 dual sim. No unlock possible till date. But i got it with L so root is possible. if you bought with MM installed no root beause google says you need to unlock BL just to have root.
Will LG change this policy of only unlocking euro G models ? nobody knows.

Ick. The H860N is an otherwise excellent candidate for trying some interesting experiments with, but if it is difficult to get into that ruins it. If unlocking becomes possible, could someone update us?
What is this RS988? A dual-SIM device flavor of the G5 from a different region?

Thanks for letting us know. I'll wait for an unofficial unlock exploit or for another device, whatever comes first.
Does this model has a hybrid dual SIM card? Or it allows to have 2 SIM slots and a sd card slot at the same time?
This question is for anyone who has a pixel 6, or really any new pixel (5, 5a, 4a) on At&T or Firstnet (same policies).
Does ATT's Sim unlock also enable Bootloader unlock. (Ungrey the setting in dev options and allow root).
Trying to confirm what this user said: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/at-t-pixel-5-is-carrier-locked.4195785/post-84100651
For anyone who says "Just buy a Google one", I can't. I'm a first responder and need a full firstnet capable device. I also don't have $900 to spend on a pixel 6 pro, especially when FirstNet is discounting the mmwave + sub 6 pixel 6 $200 for first responders.
THIS IS FOR TMOBILE but is prob similar on ATT -- i have owned several tmobile oneplus devices, as well as countless other tmobile devices. can't help but trade in my old junk, you know? anyway, if you are getting your phone on EIP, then you will need to stay on the network for 40 days before you can ask tmobile to SIM unlock your phone. and they will do it. no questions. just make sure that phone is activated on the tmo network for 40 days. this is for SIM unlock.
alternatively, you can pay the phone off in full. then tmobile will SIM unlock it for your sooner. again, this is SIM unlock.
alternatively (#2), there's a guy on XDA who does this for Tmobile. he requires 3 days of active service. there may be someone similar for ATT.
once you are SIM unlocked, the OEM UNLOCKING toggle becomes active. at that point you can turn it on.
from there, its a matter of using fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader. or whatever other methods are necessary on a pixel phone. i've owned oneplus phones for the last 8 years so this will all be new to me when i get my pixel 6 in a couple days.

Yes. I purchased a Pixel 6 from AT&T and have subsequently paid it off and unlocked it. My OEM unlocking toggle is no longer grayed out.

Did you have to fill out their online web form , or put in the new sim for it to ungrey out ? How long did it take to allow you to change the setting?
Also thanks for answering. This is good news.
Interesting. Does anyone know if you have to have an AT&T account to purchase an AT&T phone at full retail price (ie: without buying it on a plan and then paying it off)?
I wonder if it would be possible to purchase an AT&T Pixel 6 outright so it's unlocked, unlock the bootloader, and use it on Verizon (with full Sub-6 and mmWave support).

I filled out the online web form and then waited a few hours until I received confirmation that the device was unlocked.

It looks like you would have to have an account and choose a plan, but you could cancel it immediately if you bought the phone at full price. At worst you would have to pay $30 for activation, but hopefully not.

Seems doable.
I wonder if the VZ and/or AT&T variant of the firmware is needed for mmWave to function correctly or if the "global," non carrier-specific firmware still includes drivers for mmWave (even though the global variant of the phone lacks a mmWave modem).
Probably a stretch, but I figure it's worth asking: You wouldn't happen to have access to and/or know somebody that has a 5G Verizon phone with a 5G sim you could test it with, do you? Even better would be in an area with known-working 5G mmWave.

Good question. I had assumed the mmWave capability was hardware-dependent. Honestly I'm not sure.
