Changing the IMEI on a handset is generally illegal.
If Carphone Warehouse have asked you to return the handset, then you should do so.

As stated above no illegal actions will be permitted, please read XDA rules.

I upgraded from my Original XDA in October 2003, Since then my new XDAII has been working fine..
Up Until a few days ago that was..
When the loudspeaker stopped working!
So I cannot hear the phone ring and I cannot hear anyone speaking :?
I Pay £5.99 for insurance that says it covers damage and also offers 'next day courier' replacement :arrow:
After calling them 3 times (each averaged 30min to answer the phone)
it seems that unfortunatly they dont have any XDAII's to send as a replacement and they
DONT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE GETTING ANY EITHER..
Please try calling every so often to see if we get them back in again...
WTF ?
What am I paying £5.99 for each month?
I hope no one elses XDAII breaks..
Greg
if i was you i wouldnt stand for it and demand your insurance money back and all if they aint gonna get it sorted. its still under warrenty anyways so they should get it done ASAP for you. put them on watchdog lol
I blame HTC. It is beyond me how, after being out several months, they still can't manufacture a decent amout of them for stock. And that's without them being generally available in the North American market. If they were sold in the US/Canada too on a large scale, there would be just about zero of them available anywhere.
back in stock!
They're back in stock from today...
I have just spoken to UK O2 Insure ..
And they dont have ANY stock arriving until Monday 9th..
So I wont be getting mine until Tuesday at the earlist..
:evil: :evil:
I shall be speaking to my O2 Memberservices to get a rebate on my insurance!!!!!!!
I rang O2 yesterday to see about posssibly upgrading my XDAII and getting the XDAIIi but the sales operative I spoke to was less than helpful.
"we don't do that phone" was the reply.
I stated that it's on their website and that billboards all over London show it in all it's glory. He then went off to ask his manager and after a long wait, he returned and said they should have it next week!!!
What a shambles, to advertise something then not even allowing you to order it.
Is there anywhere else in UK I can order it from? Or is it just "scotch mist".
Has anybody else been luckier than me?
I am a O2 select customer (due to the amount i spend each month) (over £50 p/m automaticaly makes you a select customer) and this gets you slightley better upgrade prices. But to get my XDA2i i did the same as i did last year to get the XDA2.
I got our local o2 store to call me as soon as they had a 2i in stock, i then go to the shop and pay what ever they charge, and then a month later or when ever "select" get them in they credit my account with the differance between what i paid in a shop to what they would have sold it for.
they probley do this because they have no answer as to why cant i a select customer have a phone, but jo bogs off the street can get one in most of the o2 shops.
I went into a London O2 shop (Cheapside) on 31 Jan, and they upgraded my XDA II to a IIi on the spot. They had only received the IIi that morning, apparently. Was charged £175 (which I will significantly reduce by selling on the original device). I've been on a £25pm contract since November 03.
Good luck
Tim
It seems I may be in luck... Oxford street are holding one for me and I'm off there this afternoon to do the deed.
It's £179 so that's not too sad...
wooooohoooo!!!

What is Scotch mist?
it's a euphemism for B******t !!!!!

I phoned up O2 UK shop, held for 20 mins, and they said they don't have any - probably not for a month or two (even though it appears you can order new ones on-line - but I wanted an upgrade which you don't appear to be able todo without phoning them.
I then phoned the two big O2 shops in Manchester and they said they don't have any either or a delivery date
I'm stuck - seems like London gets the new stuff first.
Russ
i hope they will release this thing in germany soon :evil:
i cant wait any longer
XDA IIi
I phoned O2 on Wedensday 2nd Feb and received my XDAIIi on Thursday 3rd Feb withouth a hitch. My contract is a pay up front yearly 200 mins per month peak for £150ish.
Suggest you speak to another member of staff.
Hi Folks , I agree with daash's opinion, speak to someone else
I rang O2 in the UK as I was thinking of cancelling my contract and check out the deal they offered me
XDA 2i for £100, should be £199
They will also take £10 a month off my existing £25 a month tariff and give me the Gold Insurance for £5 a month
So all I pay is for the phone is £100 and tarif & insurance is only £20 a month
The number I called was 0870 2410202, option 4 (Retentions)
Get them before they change their minds
PS Anyone want to buy an XDA2, WM 2003, Unlocked, boxed with all accessories incl PDA software and Tom Tom Navigator 3
PM me with any offers
Thanks
On monday I left me xda II in a taxi :'(
No luck in getting back but rung up o2 to cancle and get a new simcard whch have now got. They said I couldnt upgrade until june which is for a year .. they offered me £160 for xda IIi, but said they couldnt do anything until June.
Perhaps it depends on who you speak to, I dont know what commision they get for selling there phones, perhaps the phone is a price, then a top price which includes their commision, they can knock off their commisison depending on their mood?
I got a s**t motorola MX200 tempory replacement which at least connects to me pc, but not half as good as wm 2003.. Wouldnt mind getting an update for smartphone 2002.. loads of stuff it lacks in.
Hi, wondering if anybody can help me out with ATT policy. I was visiting my grandparents in Toronto when I lost my phone the day before I had to fly home to Los Angeles. Unfortunately I did not have time to look for it since I was busy packing for the trip home. Anyways when I got back I called ATT to tell them my phone was lost and they said they will sendme another phone when I pay my deductable.
Anyways I have two questions
1. Would it be possible to wait until the Touch Pro 2 comes out next month and ask for that as a replacement + cash if needed?
2. What happens if my family manages to find it and mail it back to me? Will ATT know that I found it and force me to return the replacement? Would they even care after i pay the deductable?
they'll probably just send you a refurb fuze and likely refuse the upgrade, especially when the fortress is a new release. i can't see them upgrading you even with cash.
att won't know you found your phone. i had lost a phone and reported it and found it 1 month later and went on to use it fine.
You guyz are lucky, wonder if these giant beast are so nice. :O

Seriously? Do you even know what you're talking about? :| If you report a phone stolen and find it and use it, it's no big deal UNLESS you get a new one via insurance. Then it's called fraud. You have to pay the deductible for your phone if you want it via insurance and they'll send a brand new in box one to you. No, you cannot wait till the TP2 comes out and exchange it for that. That will only happen if you've warranty exchange your fuze a lot and you complain to AT&T a lot. Quite a few people have done this. If you really didn't know, AT&T can track you via IMEI. They know which account is linked to which IMEI. They will know when you're using a blacklisted phone or when suddenly a "stolen" phone is being used on the same sim card. Don't take that risk
1) TP2 isn't comming to AT&T anytime soon, and they will never give you a better phone plus cash
2) I believe they put a status code of a bad or lost ESN id on the databases, so the phone can't be used again on the AT&T network. It may even come up as a stolen status.
That won't stop you from being able to use the phone as a PDA

#2 is not true, but #1 probably is.
I believe Cassetti is right about #2 When you call it stolen, they block the esn id so the thief can't use your phone.

the fact is : its not true. Proven fact.
thx for the info guys, i called up att and told them what happened, paid the deductable and picked up a new fuze. I ask them what happened if i manage to find it and they said most likely they will let me keep it as a back up but i would need to call them to reactivate it or something like that.
guess i;ll just skip the touch pro 2 and wait for a WM7 device or that rumored microsoft "pink" zune phone lol...
It is not blacklisted. If you find it you can use it or sell it. You don't have to "reactivate" or anything, just put a SIM card in and off you go.
my inspire touchscreen does not work at all. i've done all the trouble shooting i could fine and did a full wipe. i called customer service looking for a replacement device but they don't have any in the warranty warehouse. i am still in the 30 days but do not have the receipt and anyway the phone was bought as a gift. i talked to numerous customer service representatives and they all told me to either wait for the phone to come in stock after the 30 days which they dont even know if it will be or call the manufacturer which will take 3 weeks. now i have a non working phone but i know att customer service has inspires when people call up to purchase them. i was wondering if there was anything i could say/do to get a replacement other than waiting for god knows how long.. thanks

If you bought it at a corporate store then the date you purchased is in AT&T's system. You SHOULD be able to walk in and swap it out without any problems.

shouldn't matter. The phone has been out for less than 30 days and it's on YOUR account (I assume) so you should be able to get a new one.
gunny's right, shouldn't make a difference, unless your friend bought it at a retail store (best buy, costco, etc). If he bought it at an AT&T corporate store, you can exchange it at any store. My wife ordered an Aria online from AT&T last year, couldn't get a connection to a cell tower, customer service said she could take to any AT&T (corp) store and exchange it. They did, new one worked fine.
Ok so here is my problem. hope people here can help me or suggest me a solution asap.
I live in India. I was on a trip to United States and i bought Moto X first gen from Atnt store near dallas, TX. As i was not a US citizen i could only get Go phone service rather then their regular ones. So i paid full price for phone and used it with Atnt network there for a month. a month later i was back to India and will be here for next year or so. i contacted Motorola customer service to unlock my phone as i had paid full price on which i got a reply that i should contact Atnt and not them, they cannot help. so i contacted Atnt. they said to wait 6 months for applying for unlock. so after six months ( i bought the phone in march 2014) i try to request unlock through there site and it says not in their database. so i contact customer service to which they tell me as my phone number was not active for 4-5 months now so it has been deactivated and passed on to different customer. so phone number linked to my device is no more which is why it does not show in database and will not till i go there and buy new number to link my device to and request again. which is highly unlikely as i have a work here which i cannot leave and even if i just decide to make a trip for my phone it will cost me 3 times the phone's cost (full price i mean) nor i have someone there in States to send my phone to so they can go through the process not to forget sending phone there and other transport cost etc etc. so no official way, Atnt left me hanging.
next step as usually people do i go to unlock site. i used site called unlockunit.com to which i paid around 25 USD and waited for 2 weeks. they provided me with pins 2 from atnt in 3 days and 2 from motorola in 14 days. none worked. they said they will refund me and has been 3 months now still nothing. they say issue in their financial department. that i will have to be patient. so you see i lost faith in this type of sites too. not willing to try others unless i know i will get my phone unlock or my money back.
so what i want to know is, is there any way i can get my phone unlock. if so how?! can i root my device and get it unlock?! any other method. please do let me know. cause i do not want my 450 USD go to waste seeing it as just a phone which i cannot use as phone but just to play games on.
and sorry if i am a noob for asking this and if this is a wrong place as well. i am a noob.
please do help if you can. thank you.
