Someone mentioned a GSM component in another thread, is there any model number visible for that one? (can't see anything like it on the pic but it might be one of those small components that can't be made out)

With the help of faeries maybe? Well all hope is not fully lost. If the simcard is like that, that means they have to somehow program them right? That means that it should have away to program the sim card via usb for example.

There's a little port next to a silver screw in one of the photos. Nothing connects to it, I assume factory program. Perhaps tomorrow we'll see what the bus pirate has to say.

Oh and out of curiosity, is there any small text or labels there that are not visible in the shot? or that is all there is?

There's writing on a sticker on the side which is either bt or wifi antenna, nothing on or near the sadness board (calling it that from now on)
The chip info will be hiding under the shields, if somebody with enough knowledge can tell me how much of this is actual shielding and how much is crap I have a rework station and can make quick work of that crap. Keep in mind this is my daily driver.
any Idea, where the "embedded" SIM Card should be?
Naked?
I can't fap to this.
Its all sealed because of the nano-polymer coating. Makes it harder for water to get in. Makes it impossibe to tear down, but it also makes it a beast of a phone.

How do you remove the back cover???
My apologies. I am attempting to remove the back cover. Are there screws hidden that I need to remove? I tried prying, but it seems like I am making no progress and don't want to break anything. Thanks.
Actually, do you see any label for the MEID in the radio? I have a "test" radio that had the MEID blanked because it was for a test account. I need to have a valid MEID entered in order to activate the phone. Any ideas on how to approach this?

Yeah, so much for that- but as someone else had posted, perhaps there's a way to get to the NVItems somehow.
Thing is, from my (admittedly-limited) understanding of SIM cards, we'd need a way to read out every part of an existing SIM, then be able to write it back in (EPST?).

correct you would need to somehow read and program each time. and since att uses the same sim for gsm and lte its entirely possible that the lte programming info would be wiped out if you could do anything like you were thinking
shabbypenguin said:

Click to expand...

Well, we'd obviously have to save off the original NVItems first, for when we get back from wherever GSM country we're visiting
If (big if) we could actually read and write all this stuff successfully, then the next big hurdle would be being able to read all of the SIM we'd buy from wherever (my goal is to be able to use this phone when I travel outside the US; I have GSM Android handsets sitting around at home, but it'd be great to have one device that can do it all). Apparently the GSM "encryption key seed" (there's a real name for that ...) is stored in the SIM and only known to the SIM and the authentication DB at the carrier so we couldn't just plug in the IMEI/IMSI.

I'm hoping that this isn't something dumb on my part, but my touchscreen only worked for about an hour and then it just stopped working after that - I had it in sleep mode for awhile. I tried a data wipe and even drained the battery dry, but so far no change.
Has anyone seen this issue? I'm hoping it's something fixable and not a hardware problem. Or if anyone has any other ideas, that would be appreciated -- thanks! I'm also trying to track down that new update to see if maybe that might help me.

try pressing and holding both the power button and the volumn button together until it shuts down
I don't have mine yet so can't comment on what's going on. But hopefully you are right in that it is software issue rather than hardware. Were you rooted?

Not even rooted. I had used it for about 20 minutes, put it in sleep mode, then tried it a few hours later and the touchscreen stopped working.
I also tried the Modaco update (later on), but that doesn't reflash everything - it's more of a supplement (I made nandroid backup so I can undo).

Dang... Get a new one! Glad to see you on this device, not going to lie. I was about to pull the trigger on a vgt until i heard about this device.
Other than the fact that the touchscreen is borked , it seems very nice. A little larger than the Xoom, but feels lighter. Screen ratio seems similar.
I was hoping to do some screen comparisons versus the Xoom, to see if this IPS is superior. Kinda hard to do that now - my hope was that this would replace my slow but reliable R10.

I was going to do the same thing that I did with the Xoom, which is post on Slatedroid and then link from here - in my mind, the sharing of knowledge being the most important thing. But I don't think XDA rules permit that unless I support both areas - I think I could manage that, though.
Of course, my device is in no shape for any modding right now. Still, I might try a Ventana image just for the heck of it. I'd just like to know if my problem is hardware based or not.

Here are some pics of the new T-Mobile device
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/t-mobile-branded-htc-sensation-4g-in-the-wild/
Thats a damn shame Tmobile has to put that ugly damn logo right on the front of the damn phone, put it on the back or something. But enough complaining, this phone is gonna be absolutely stellar and the new and improved htc sense is absolutely terrific, this phone is an instant win
great find!
the box is a little different than the vodafone version, but aside from the logo pretty much the same.
sigh... I knew it was a long shot but was secretly hoping that t-mo would somehow get a bicolor version back
I can't wait! June 8th is taking forever
Anybody know if mobilecityonline is trustworthy? They have the T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G for $600. 100 more than I think T-Mobile will have it for but it'd be unlocked...

Aside from the international shipping that Elchemist mentions (I have friends in the US who might be able to bring it to me) I don't know if unlocking is that easy.
Unlockers and repair shops here in Mex tend to be befuddled by foreign phones (one more reason I wish I were back in Canada) and T-Mobile, according to their page, only gives unlock codes to account holders in good standing (45 days postpaid, 60 pre-pay). This leaves the option of online unlocking services which sometimes take a while to appear for new handsets (I don't feel like having a phone for a month which I can't use for calls).
solsearch, an easier way would be to use one of the online unlocking sites and just input the code yourself. Now if only S-Off was available...

yeah I'm curious why tmo went with different packaging as well. it's the same as their version of the hd2
Does anyone know what types of goodies the sensation is coming with? (the contents in the box)
what was shown in the link was headphones, charger, USB to microUSB cable and battery.
EDIT:
on closer inspection, the open back shot shows a microSD card of unknown size. The vodafone versione comes with an 8GB card pre-installed in the phone.

Well, first I'm going to see if my uncle is still with T-Mobile as that'd be the easiest/surest way.
As for the packaging I don't really get why people care, vendors, reviewers, etc. sure as it affects appeal, but for those who already decided to buy it? Does it really matter? Worst case scenario you keep the box at the back of some closet or you toss it, it doesn't affect the device (branding on the device is another matter). Too bad branding is on the screen, if it weren't people who really cared could just buy a different back cover.
And it seems it won't come with a microSD card according to that screen shot (the one of the box). Remember that just because the pics show one in the phone it doesn't mean it'll be included, after all whoever is using it probably would want one in there... I'm slightly disappointed but I don't care too much as I'll be buying a 32GB one anyways. I could have used the 8GB one for less used content but 8GB cards are cheap anyways.
But I think I am definitely getting the T-Mobile US version as it kind of seems like kismet. My birthday's on the 9th and if I'm really lucky I can have this prezzie for myself on that day
I hope mobiTv, telenav and some other useless apps will not be preloaded. Also hope it will have tethering option right out of the box like G2x and G2. The greatest feature of tmous, wifi caling should be there but just worried about the battery when it comes to wifi calling. It seems to kill battery very quick on my Vibrant and it was also battery hog on G2x. Still very excited for june 8th though!
Edit: just saw mobiTV on the box, dang it!... T-mobile we dont want your bloatcrap on the phone!

That's good. I just assumed it wouldn't be as it isn't mentioned in the "What's Inside" part (I figured they'd mention it even if not the size).
So now that we have S-Off, I decided to do a bit of research on how to get rid of the red HTC disclaimer and the word "Tampered" from the bootloader screen.
Seems that there is only one way to get rid of "Tampered" and that's to re-lock your bootloader and then flash a RUU.
Whether the word stays gone after you re-flash a custom recovery and ROM/kernel I can't say for sure.
As far as the HTC disclaimer you see on boot-up, It can only be removed by flashing a RUU. As soon as you flash a custom recovery, it'll come back.
I found a thread called RegawMOD which allows you to either delete that red text or change it to whatever you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739314
They also have a thread that has instructions on how to make a plugin for your device so that you can also use his tool for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776900
And yet another thread with a list of current plugins. Maybe one could be used as a template for us?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498
I would absolutely love to see this tool become a reality for oneS users and I know I'm not alone in this.
Would probably donate if it worked perfect without issue.

It's entirely possible. But I had triple checked it. So you might think that everything is correct, and then try it, and you have with you a paperweight.
And when you don't have the money to get it fixed, it's going to prove difficult getting it done freely.

I got my new passport book in the mail today, as I'm going to need it to go on a cruise. Anyways, apparently the back flap of the book contains a NFC Chip. I was holding my book open and i got a text so I put phone on the back flap to reply and the NFC chirp went off. The book it self tells you that it contains electronics. Kind of neat IMO.
Anyway to see what information is being given off by the chip?
After reading your post I grabbed my wife's passport and scanned it with NFC Taginfo. Sorry I can't post link yet, should be an easy search. Make sure to set up the passport key, putting in your passport number, birthdate and expiration date. the result is pretty cool!

Installed it, but doesnt give me anything, just the sounds that it recognizes the NFC tag,
I just tried again and it didn't want to work until I opened the book and set my phone on the back cover from the inside. even from my home screen the app popped open and gave the info.

What cruise are you going on?
There are apps specifically made to read the NFC chips in the passports

Royal Caribbean Cruise. I hope I don't get stranded.
most airports and transportation authorities never use the nfc data; which IMO is a huge security issue. however, if one applied about 90c of heat and some very strong magnetic fields shortly thereafter, the nfc data on the passport would be rendered unreadable and effectively neutralized.

You have to do as he said; there's a place in the app to put in the secure information that is required to decrypt the information on the tag. It holds biometric data, picture, etc.
The GS4 uses a new NFC chip that can't fully read US passports. The Galaxy Nexus and other did
You'll hear the sound and get some info, but NXP TagInfo wont be able to read information or give you the passport picture (even if you enter the DOB and the other info to decrypt).

Really? Even her picture? I'm jealous!
Tried this - worked. Was awesome. Thanks.
Worked for me. Thanks!
How recent did they start this?Our passports are about 4 years old, and I couldn't get my S4 to pick anything up...

I think starting 2007ish they offered them as an option for faster customs. I don't know when it became all.

I also believe you have to have the passport open. As a defense against people trying to grab information maliciously they added a metallic layer in the back and front of the passport that blocks attempts to read the chip. Opening the passport allows you to read it since you no longer have that layer in the way. Essentially the passport has it's own mini Faraday cage if you want to think of it that way.

Okay... I'll have to try it from the inside. I was trying from the backside of the passport book.

The four passports from friends I was able to test it with a few days ago would suggest otherwise, as would the others who have been successful in this thread. It does seem to be a bit slower than my Galaxy Note was at reading them however.
Picked up a T-mo note 5 on CL. Looked great; all features I could think to test were good. IMEI# check out as good mostly., I just didn't think to test the spen detection in the holder. It's broke. Dumbass must have inserted the pen backwards and yanked it out
Anyways I picked up all the tools I need to safely open the note 5 and see what I can do with the broken sensor; figured I'd keep this thread updated with my progress on fixing.

You think a t-mobile store will fix a Note 5 I got on Craigslist?

The phone just came out and no matter where you got it there is still a factory warranty of a year

Alright, I'll go to a store and see if they can fix first. Thanks.
Should I return to stock first? I'm on a custom rom.

I would. One less thing for them to deny you saying that you messed with your phone.

I wouldn't try a store, I would wait a week until tmo updates their system and sees that's the phone you hit and then call 611 and tell them the problem with NO mention of where you got the phone unless they ask and even then you can just say it was a present or something.
They don't like it when you don't buy phone off them and use Craigslist instead.
Like ThC23 recommended, I called 611 and they asked me when I bought the device, and I just said "IDK it was a gift." they asked me when the problem started and I said "IDK, it just never worked"
Tmo connected me to Samsung and they gave me an RMA number. I'm sending them my note 5.
Thanks for all your help guys. It's kinda a pitty though, I was looking fwd to taking it apart a bit lol.
Glad I didn't put my Note 4 on sale just yet. Looks like I'll be using it again for a few days.
So samsung didn't do anything to fix it, and they are just mailing it back to me. Looks like the A-hole who sold it to me lied (surprise surprise) the IMEI number has been changed, so samsung won't replace it.
So I'll be going back with my original plan of trying to fix it myself. I wish I could find that broken plastic lever that must have broken, online. but who knows. Maybe it's not working for another reason. There is at least one video where the guy takes Note 5 apart and shows us where it broke, but it just happens to work when he puts it back together, even though he didn't rly do anything to it besides remove the broken of bit off plastic that was preventing the sensor from moving.
As sad as this is, it just reminds us that buying off CL is not always a good idea. I feel for you. ?

My friend bought an S6 for $500 on CL. Seller reported it as stolen, IMEI was blacklisted. She had to pay $70 for a new IMEI.

I used to sell on Craigslist, but I wouldn't do anything unless it was in place that had a police substation.

Any progress buddy ?
yeah it's still taken apart cause my soldering iron is not meant for these tiny tiny components, but I have not given up. I actually got the spen detection working for a few minutes and it quit working, so I'm on the right track I just need to get better at the soldering. maybe I should stop by radio shack.
as for that plug I broke, i don't know what it does. I did a half assed soldering job and I got the note 5 back together to see what is not working and all I see is the lights on the front buttons don't light up. If that's all that that blue cable does I might not care...
does anyone know what this blue cable does?
https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/wMyYTEoFThUUNkHD.huge
it's on the bottom right of the image
Update: Spen detection sensor fixed!! hopefully it stays fixed this time.
Now I want to get that blue cable figured out. I suppose I could just quit and not have my front buttons light up. not much of a loss there.
--looks like its the gps cable.
-- no def not the GPS cable. GPS works fine.
-- finger print sensor gives an error. I bet it's just power going to the front buttons. weird thing is the lights on the buttons flickers with a vibration once when the phone boots up/.
