Since late December android users on AT&T have been able to charge the app to their AT&T account with the newest market. I however have the newest version of market and CAN NOT charge the apps to my carrier. I work for AT&T and am allotted $40 a month to charge which would be SWEET I just cant get the button to appear instead of my credit card. My coworker on his unrooted Captivate can do it I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions or if you'd had any luck yourself. Thanks!
Can you at least buy apps via credit card? I ask because when I first got the Vibrant, it wouldn't allow me to buy apps via T-Mobile or credit card until later on when I used a beta gingerbread rom. If you can still buy via credit card, then I'm not sure. What error message do you get or does it not appear at all?
A work around is getting a cheap At&t android phone and use it to buy apps and as a backup phone.
Oh, make sure to read the agreement. I was going to buy one with T-mobile but it said once I do, T-mobile can remove the apps at any given moment. So I was like "Hell no!"

it just never shows the option at all.. I am able to buy via my visa and mastercard just not bill to ATT. I wonder if it has anything to do with root as my coworkers phone is not rooted.... ? I think it might because I have an N1 as well and had a Captivate niether of them showed it either... My coworkers phone that has the option is a Captivate and is not rooted.. think root has anything to do with it?
BTW I like that idea of having a cheap android to use for buying apps. I'm going to try my SIM in a return see if it works.... lol
So what happened regarding this?

I never got a definite answer however I know it's not because of having root access. Market is able to tell what type of device you have and carriers can block subscribers from certain apps depending on firmware etc.. I've come to the conclusion that att/market doesn't recognize my device as an att phone. Just as when we put a rom on my coworkers phone the option disappeared. My atrix is rooted yet I've got that option. This is the only thing i can assume ..
Hey guys, I had a question from a friend of mine. He currently has an Inspire that has no service ( recently upgraded phones ) but he's going to France for a couple weeks for Christmas and was curious if he could put a prepaid sim card in the phone when he gets there and if it would work?
Or does the phone need to be rooted in order for that to work? Any info would be awesome.
Thanks in advance
Rooting the phone with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit will sim unlock the phone. If he doesn't want to root then he will have to atleast get the unlock code from ATT or a third party to use a non ATT sim in the phone.
Hi,
I got my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL from the US on the Black Friday Sale.
One of my friend got it for me from the US.
I preferred TF300TL because I wanted to use the Pad on the go with 3G.
There is one big problem which I am facing now.
The tablet won't take any other Sim Card apart from the one which came with it (An AT&T Sim Card).
It would ask for a "Sim Unlock Code" when some other Sim is inserted.
The AT&T Sim would register with one of my Domestic Service Providers on International Roaming mode.
There is also an application installed AT&T Communication Manager or something.
Can anyone of you help me around this problem.
Is there a way to unlock the Sim and use any other sim card.
Will rooting and removing the AT&T application help??

I can't answer your question. I have a suggestion not to delete the AT&T Communication Manager if you don't get another sim to work you are stuck. If you were rooted you could freeze the app and later unfreeze if needed. I use rom toolbox pro but it and anything that will delete or freeze needs root.
Maybe someone else can help with your current problem.
Good Luck!
If you bought the device outright, and didn't get one subsidized with a service contract, all you have to do is call up AT&T's customer service and they will give you the unlock code . Might have to call more than one to get someone that is competent, but trust me, it can be done

I will assume that you have either the TF300TG or TF300 TL versions and NOT the WiFi only version (TF300T)
If your device is SIM unlocked go to the google play store and pay $1.39 for "APN Manager Pro" It will let you select or configure for almost any carrier's APN settings.
I have similar problem, can some help get the sim unlocked to be used in India

Is it TF300TG or TL, because L is LTE and G is 3G lol

Hey. Just wondering if anyone has solved how to get the TF300TL sim unlocked. I bought it outright from B&H and I tried calling up at&t multiple times for an unlock code, but every time they say there is no unlock code available.
Finally managed to speak with a supervisor who told me that this tablet is at&t exclusive and there is no way to get it unlocked even if I paid full price for it.
Anyone else have this issue or have a way for me to unlock it?
Just to clarify, I'm looking to sim unlock for use with a different carrier, not unlock the bootloader.
Thanks

Cellunlockdepot.com says they can do it for $5.99 USD. Full refund if they cant. Has anyone tried one of these type services? I use AT&T so have no desire to unlock mine.

Tried a few of those. All of them said they couldnt do it and to try again in a month or 2.
Might be some out there that can, but not that I've come across.

I would be willing to grab a hex dump of some of my files. If someone here has the skills they could compare my files to other people's locked TF300TL's and possibly come up with an editing solution.

I'm willing to do that too but... AFAIK info about simlock is locked somewhere on not accessible memory. Since asus did the tricky job with update preventing to do any nvflash backup etc. 'hidden' memory is no longer accessible... Correct me if i'm wrong.

Oh okay. I didn't know that. Samsung conveniently leaves it in a folder that you can edit/replace files to unlock most GSM Galaxy tabs with.
I got ATT to unlock mine by calling in
AT&T Provided Unlock Code (?!)

Please provide detailed description of how you accomplished that ! I've tried phoning them multiple times, escalated a couple levels and was told that 'the manufacturer' couldn't provide them the unlock code for my IMEI. I tried contacting Asus and was told I needed to go through AT&T.
Thanks,
Steven.
Submitted and unlock form, they said no. I called them and said...
1) I'm recording this call
2) (got employee info)
3) cited court order that they must unlock devices that meet the criteria
4) explained that asus has given them the unlock codes and said I had a call recording of asus saying this.
5) explained that I would call every 3 days until they unlocked it
on my 4th call they said it would be unlocked. Received MSG from [email protected] with unlock code.

I just purchased a Sprint S5, planed to sign up R+.
The S5 already has Android 6.0.1.
Is there a way to unlock the phone for the GSM carriers, such as T-Mobile or AT&T ?
By law, Sprint has to unlock your phone if you request it. You can just call them and ask them to unlock the phone. I think you can also unlock it online without calling Sprint, but their website is down right now so I can't give you specific instructions. Sign into your Sprint account on the web, and next to your phone, there's a drop down menu that (I think) has an option to unlock.
Idoneapps(.com) do hell of job. I'm using ATT, the only catch is I only get 3g. But I don't really care because I have a 3g throttler in use because of my custom ROM. It's around $30 for the app. But it works.

i can also confirm the idoneapps.com method as working. its $35, but it just works. Plus their support forums is backed by a fellow called NoDial and he is johnny on the spot with regards to responding to queries! also, xda member @stifilz can unlock with no preset cost, but donating to him for his time is always a good thing
So I'm receiving this Sprint s7 from my dad for christmas. he didn't know it wouldn't work he already shipped it and i dont know how this would work here in Canada. He won't be able to request unlock it to sprint because he needs to pay it off first or things like that as i red the internet, sprint won't let it and plus, he just bought it last black friday. Is there any possible way to unlock this because it's a cdma and everyone knows it doesn't even use a sim card. I need help on this one, i don't need 4g LTE nor 3g or any other data capabilities. Just the ability to text and call is fine. I was wondering if there would be a firmware available to flash to unlock it, i don't know if there is i can't find one. I would be willing to do that 3rd party control-my-computer using teamviewer option which im very skeptical to do if there would be no other option. It would be the best chrismas gift to help me out lol thank you! Merry Christmas!!!
