I have been trying to unlock my old tmobile sidekick 4g to use with AT&T and I have followed the guide extremely close and I have got the hex editor and I have got the 8 digit code and when I go to enter the network lock control key I keep getting an unsuccessful message. If anyone gets this message and believes they can help me out someway please shoot me a private msg so we can contact each other via email or phone and hopefully someone can help solve my problems. I greatly appreciate everyone's time for reading this and I would be extremely appreciative of anyone willing to help.. Thanks once again

Why don't you just ask T-Mobile to send you the unlock code? I have asked them to unlock 4 phones, including my Sidekick, and they have always been good about it. See this page for more info: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588. I found that the easiest way to request the unlock code was to use the chat function. As I recall, you just have to provide your phone number and IMEI.

hey guys
after sbf and flash to fission, checkbox to enter the unlock code does not appear.
is there anyway i can bring it up?
btw-used turbosim for a month, for me it didnt prove itself. cant save apn and call quality is poor. after visiting a cell solution lab, the guy think he can give me the code but, as ive mentioned, no checkbox. but, what has came up is an error msg says a special call need to b made. as am not in the us, this call cannot b activate. turbosim bypass this msg and phone works. so here is another q, do i need to leave it on the error msg in order to get rid of subsidy or press activate?
never had an instrument that took so much of my energy as this 1' lol/
any help will b appreciated.
Sorry if this has been addressed, I did search but no luck. Im extremely new to the droid world and even newer at getting it to do what I want
I have a rooted droid eris running cyan 7 GB. The phone is not activated.
Is there an app I can install that will allow my wife to send and recieve text msg's to cell phones only using wifi?
Also, wondered if there is a way to spoof the activation. Every time I reboot the phone it wants me to activate it. I had read you could start/stop the activation a few times and it will go away but when I try to activate I have no way to pull up a responsive number pad to enter "1". When the call is in progress and I pull up the number pad it is trying to dial a new call rather than working toward the active call.
Thanks in advance
I do know about texting via email but my kids have text msg only phones and just looking for a way for the wife to be able to text and receive the kids and I from the unactivated phone.
Why no replies, there have been lots of views? Have I put it in the wrong place? Should I post in a different form?
Wow, Im shocked!
All the info on this site and not a single response to my questions? :?
Not sure if Ive posted in the wrong place, asked unanswerable questions or broken some rule but figured Id get something with all the views the post has gotten.
Google talk or Google voice I believe will let u VIA WiFi

Hello I'm quite a novice at cell phone stuff to please forgive me if I'm asking in the wrong place or wrong question.
I bought a Samsung Admire R720 about 6 months ago. It's umm locked for the carrier MetroPCS. I never activated the phone with them because I didn't have the money yet. I just always used the wifi wherever there was a hotspot. I also rooted it because I wanted to use more advanced tools like the wifi analysis and Titanium backup etc. I also used Groove IP on the phone to use my google voice while I was on wifi. Now the fun begins.
I activated the device with Metro online and did all the MEID stuff and the phone seems happy but I cannot dial a call to anyone (unless I use groove ip). When a number is dialed, it rings once and a recording pops up saying:
PS01 Your call cannot be completed. Bye. *click*
Everything else works on the phone though. I can accept incoming calls to the cell phones number. I can text and I can surf the web. All with the wifi radio turned off so I know its going through the carrier.
I'm lost as to why it wont simply make a call out. I have the android toolkit here and can use adb to do anything you ask of me, dumplog push pull... whatever. I've seen the dumplog while trying to make a call and I have a copy of it but I would rather one of you more experienced folks tell me what to search for then post it here. Otherwise the dump is huge and messy because its raw with no modifiers.
Any help would be much appreciated. I do have a ticket in with MetroPCS but I think the real techs there aren't very available or none exist.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've not been able to receive authentication codes (via SMS) from sites like skype/facebook etc on my Nexus 5 for some reason. They have my "real" Sprint number (not the google voice number), and I don't have google voice integration (I only use google voice for voicemail).
I've sent an inquiry to Sprint, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has noticed this issue, and hopefully, get a workaround
Thanks!
Call Sprint customer service and tell them you want to enable sms "short codes" I believe is what its called by default Sprint has these disabled I had the same isue a few years ago. A quick phone call they will enable it on your account and should be good to go from there

I am not sure about US but however, when I do seem to have such issues, I take my SIM out from my phone and then insert the sim in a basic phone like Nokia 1112 or any other basic set (SIMFREE). Then I just ask for Code on whatsapp/skype/viber etc using WIFI.
Either you get the code on your basic phone or you ask for a call to listen the code to authenticate it
I hope this helps and works for you too

Thanks @hshshawn - glad it is not a device specific issue (though it doesn't explain why my previous phone - S4 - was able to receive these). I'll ask Sprint to verify this. Maybe they disabled it when I switched over to the Nexus

Either you get the code on your phone which you insert in your simless Nexus 5 in order to authenticate or you ask for a call.
I hope this helps and works for you too

Thanks. In this case, I ended up requesting the code by Email, so that worked. But I'll try to call my carrier to confirm that they haven't blocked short codes.
I appreciate your response

I don't know where else to turn but i would hope someone in here can help me resolve this since support at Freedompop is well no support at Freedompop. Here is my issue , first i think the phone is awesome I love it, I can make and receive calls with no problems . When i send a text message from another phone my FP phone wont receive it, when i try to send a text MSG to my other phone it leaves the FP phone but is never received from the other phone. i have been on the phone with NO support at least 6 times with no fix. We have done a hard boot, install/uninstall/install FP messaging app with no difference . When i got phone in may it worked, the only thing that changed was i changed the phone number on the phone. Yes i have done PRL updates etc! I also have the MSL reset code but it says to enter ##786# and hit reset , well when entering the ##786# the phone does NOTHING , so im at a loss for any fix unless someone here can help me, and that would be GREAT!!!
