Hi Guys,
I have a at&t branded fuze and the touch screen seems to have stopped working.
I bought it off craigslist and it came unlocked. I am using it on a canadian provider (Rogers).
Can i still claim warranty on the device through AT&T or do i go through HTC?
I have no account with AT&T other then just owning their branded device.
Does the warranty still apply since it is unlocked?
and if so do i just phone AT&T and tell them that I am using it in Canada?
Thanks for the help
I doubt AT&T would honor any warranty unless you bought it from them new and have an account. They act as a middle person by sending you a refurb phone then send the broken one to HTC. You may try contacting HTC directly to see if they can be of assistance, but you may need a receipt.
Hi, i friend gave an HTC Fuze (GSM) locked on AT&T.
will i be able to use it in europe if i unlock it?
there is some radio-flashing needed or it will just work with any european Sim after the unlocking process?
Sorry, this may seem a stupid question but i'm new to this world
also:
What is the best way(site) to unlock it? i've already looked into that and i know it is a service that needs to be payed off.
Thanks in advice
Ok, it worked, thanks anyway.
re: FUZE unlock for europe
AT&T unlocked mine for free. Just call and ask. I used my FUZE all over Europe and enjoyed very fast speeds from the local carriers there.

Currently no, if you have been in good standing with TMOUS they will issue the unlock most of the time.
Unlocked
Try to call them and see if they can provide you with Unlock code.
I called T-mobile on 2nd day after i got my Sensation to request unlock code. they open a case and gave me a case #, very next day after i called i received email from T-Mobile with code and instructions for unlocking. I pop my friends ATT sim and enter the code. now i have Sim Unlocked Sensation.
Rep @ TMO told me that they need to contact HTC and once HTC will give them a code they will email it to me. but they provide me the code in about 24 Hrs. that is super fast . Thank you TMO
By the way i am with TMO form last 4 yrs, so they gave me a code to unlocked the Sensation. oh I also got sensation for free for renewing the contract. thanks TMO

So you signed a new contract to get the phone and then immediately broke it and switched to at&t, with edge internet? That would be really nice of T mobile if they really did that but I don't imagine them giving the code, if there is one, that easily.especially being that most people who have the sensation just signed a two year contract.

Who said he switched to AT&t? He probably just wanted an unlocked Sensation

NO man, I just RENEW my Contract for 2 more year, that's how i was able to get Phone for free. I really wanted Unlocked phone (for travelling to my home country), so I requested UNLOCK code
Email i got form TMO. Also check out the PIC I took
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference: 4XXXXXX
IMEI: 3550XXXXXXXXXXX
Unlock Code: 051XXXXX
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your HTC device.
1. Insert the foreign SIM card
2. Power on the device and the display should read "Please input unlock code"
3. Enter the unlock code and the device should display "Phone is unlocked."
4. Allow the phone to scan the network (or manually click on the antenna icon to do this)
It is very important that the instructions and SIM unlock code are entered correctly as listed. If you receive an error message while performing the instructions do not make any further attempts to unlock the handset. Please be aware that if an excessive amount of incorrect attempts are made, the phone will be permanently locked. You will need to verify the IMEI by pressing *#06# and contact Customer Care for support.
Thank You,

I'm thinking about picking up a Sensation 4G too - but I will be traveling to Europe frequently. I will have it unlocked and will use EU SIM cards. Now the question is, does the 4G support EU 3G bands?
When you pop in an AT&T SIM card - can you get 3G on the AT&T network? Or just EDGE?
Thanks!

1. Yes, the Sensation supports UMTS 2100, which is used in most countries for 3G. You won't be able to get 3G in countries that use 850, but there are only a few of those. You can check specific countries here:

or here:

2. As mentioned above unlocking a US Sensation 4G does not enable 850 3G, which is required for full coverage on ATT's network. So, you can only get EDGE. Pretty sure the European and Canadian versions of the Sensation do support 850 3G.
Hello all,
I purchased a Samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100m off someone on craigstlist a few years back (original owner /w box clean imei).
I am currently on Virgin Mobile which is bell mobility network - Apparently when I purchased it he already unlocked/rooted the phone but I believe I removed that by installing the official jellybean on my phone (it still works with my virgin sim).
Now I am planning to purchase a new smartphone and give my mom this one.. She is on the rogers network.
I have no idea if this phone is virgin or bell locked (does it actually matter between the two while selecting it on a unlock code site?)
If it does matter how do I find out the orginal locked carrier? The phone has no logos besides the type GT-i9100m.
Oh and what is the cheapest unlock site?
Thank you.

It depends on the unlocking method, some just unlock using a standard code whilst others contact the network it is locked to for a specific code. I would advise checking just to be sure so the unlock works. However after research that phone is seen most common on Virgin so I would select them and if that option isn't available go Bell (After all most services offer a refund/retry, all that I've used anyway)
Unfortunatley, I do not know a cheap and reliable service but some say you can do it yourself but I'm sure after some search on Google/eBay you can get a good, RELIABLE service (Reliability is more important than cost)
Hope I could help and good luck with your unlock

sorry, i cant help you with your question.
i just wanted to point out to be very cautious when choosing an unlock site. i see posts frequently of users getting ripped off. when choosing a site, i would do some google searches on them, to see if it results in any scam reports.
i have never used one of these sites, so i dont know ant to suggest.
Ok, this is a question I have concerning my "unlocked" & rooted Galaxy S3 phone. I bought it used & it was already unlocked & rooted & running CM10. (now 10.2.1) and has no carrier name imprinted on it. I have been using it on Straight Talk using T-Mobile Sim. I want to switch to Verizon & use their bring your on device program so I can get better service.
I entered the IMEI # on the website & it says the phone is not compatible with their network. I called the local Verizon store & the sales person said that the phone is not unlocked & will not work as their network is CDMA not GSM like T-Mobile & others. I thought CDMA was analog & all smartphone were digital & run on the GSM network. Guess I was wrong. He said that I would have to get the company to unlock it. I told him I bought it used & there is no logo on the phone so I don't know who to contact.
So, how can an unlocked phone not be unlocked? Is there a way to search the IMEI to find what carrier the phone was orginally made for? Or is there a way to really unlocked it so it can be used on Verizon CDMA networks?
I was going to buy a used S4 from a friend, but her's is locked to CSpire & they may not unlock it. She hasn't checked yet. Also didn't they pass a law where all carriers have to unlock phones if customer request it?
If I can't unlock this phone or get the S4 unlocked then I guess I will have to buy a used "Verizon branded unlocked" phone or sign up for a 2 yr. contract & move up to the S5 or an LG G3. I really don't want a contract. Any other options.
I live in South Mississippi if this helps.
If I left out any info. you need to help me with this please ask.
Thanks in advance.
