Just wondering.

like a jailbreak?
LOL
The iPhone is not an android phone. There is an unlock for the iPhone it's called Ultrasn0w.
I'm sure it's technicially possible, but Apple had no official way on unlocking a phone so services like Ultrasnow were created. With Android devices you can go on a site, pay 20 bucks, and have an unlocked phone.
Well, for one, I know that the MT4G root and S-OFF process also unlocked the device. There would NOT be just one universal way to unlock any Android phone. Every android phone is different. It's not like the iPhone, where there is just one tool that does everything to the iPhone 4 and you say why isn't this available for Android. Because there are a plethora of android devices meanwhile it's not the case for iOS.
Basically what armoguy94 said- iphones are all pretty much standardized as far as the OS goes, whereas android phones are all running different versions. It would be pretty much impossible to write an unlocking program that would work on EVERY flavor of android out there.
I do understand the unlocking process on androids and iPhones. I don't think any android phone is hardware locked. I've always wondered why no one has created a software unlock. Different software is a definate reason. But if we can have one software to root multiple phones, why not unlock?

If I understand you correctly then, you're wondering why there's no software unlock so that you can install whatever you want, even if it's not in the market? If that's your question, then the answer is there's no need. Just tick the check box to install unknown sources and you're good to go.

No, he meant SIM unlock
There is. I've done it for my inspire and my mytouch as well as my vibrant. It's called a goldcard.
But if your referring to something like superoneclick that would be brilliant.

Has anyone successfully gotten the hulu app to work on their one x? I've tried multiple modded versions that have worked in the past for me for my vivid and none of them are working on the one x. They just sit there buffering forever. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
So far I haven't found a solution. Everything I tested is the same buffering problem you said.
I am in the same boat. I have the international version of the 1x and I'm able to get hulu working. But I just purchased the AT&T 1x and it doesn't work. all it does is op stated just stays stuck buffering. I wonder what is different between both phones that will cause this
I actually get the error that my device isn't currently supported. I'm going to try to find a work-around via the browser and a modified version of the Adobe Flash apk I have lying around from my old days of doing this with my Captivate.
I have tried a few modded hulu .apk's as well with the same stuck buffering problem. I really would like to get my money's worth out of my Hulu + subscription.
Come on Hulu!
I sent them an email at [email protected] asking for device compatibility with the AT&T HTC One X (I made sure to call it that so there was no confusion as to what device I was referring to) and this is the BS reply I got.
Thanks for your email. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we need to take into account, we're only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. While I don't have a time frame to share right now, we'll be adding new Android devices regularly.
Again, I'm sorry for the frustration. We're working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with us in the meantime. If there's anything else I can address for you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Olivia

So, Hulu Plus can't support various devices, but Netflix can? My guess is that they have only one poor sod who is working on all the mobile apps. Regardless, please email [email protected] and tell them you want to see Hulu Plus on the AT&T HTC One X, I figure the more people emailing them the higher the chances are that we'll see the app released.
My reply was a little different. I'm hoping that they will add it soon as there are many HTC phones one the supported list.
"Giorgio M., May 08 07:33 am (PDT):
Hi Art,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, and thanks for the suggestion. We'd love to get Hulu Plus working on as many devices as possible, so while there's no update at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at some point. A lot of folks ask about adding the HTC One X to Hulu Plus, so we're certainly aware of the demand.
Before we can officially support it, we need to obtain a specific set of streaming rights, and we also need agreements in place with both our content partners and the device manufacturer itself – and these steps can take time. If or when support is announced, you'll see it listed at ( www.hulu.com/plus/devices ).
I hope this helps. If there's anything else I can address, please let me know.
Thanks, Giorgio M. Hulu Support"

If you're okay with viewing Hulu videos in browser, Flash Video Browser works great. Its a paid app, but worth it if you watch lots of Hulu.

Has anyone else noticed that their app only supports old phones. Not a single galaxy device in that list... I am not optimistic about this. If it wasnt for my gf being addicted to hulu, i would cancel.

No luck, I get the eternal buffering issue I and others had when trying modded flash players/hulu plus apks. It claims I'm having network issues, but I doubt that.
I might add that I'm stock, un-rooted, bootloader locked (for now at least)
There is an update today that works on the HOX.
Note: if you have AdAway installed you need to disable ad blocking and reboot or you'll get an error.
Edit: Argh, spoke too soon. Got it to work once and not since then. Some reviews in the App market suggest it does work, though. I suspect it's blocking rooted devices.

Yes I can confirm that this works on my unrooted, stock AT&T One X with the new update. I can finally watch Hulu on my phone instead of my Xbox :victory:
Must be checking the bootloader because temp unrooting with OTA Rootkeeper doesn't work either.

Netflix doesn't bother with this bull. Hopefully a dev can work some magic on this one
Edit- Maybe it's a rom version error. Any rooted user on a 1.85 base rom able to stream? I'm on CleanRom which uses a 1.88 base.

i haven't looked into this but thought i read that it has to do with dialer codes, in which Verizon users will be safe since they are blocked by default.

This was patched with the OTA pushed out a week or two ago so if you are running stock you're fine.
I did not take the latest OTA that supposedly dumbs down searching on the device.
I plan on sticking with stock-rooted. Is there a way to flash the security fix some other way?

I did not take the OTA either (did not want the search feature removed and Verizon snoopware installed). I am still on the original F2 (rooted, unlocked), I tested and my phone is vulnerable because it showed my IMEI number when tested. I then found this app (Telstop) which will help prevent a malicious attack via the Samsung vulnerability.

I'm looking at upgrading my HTC One XL to an HTC One Mini 2. I've found this article on Lifehacker on backing up apps and settings and such. Is that a) all still valid and b) going to work when moving from one type of handset to another? Anything else I need to do to get all my stuff over from my current handset to the new one?
Well i am mentioning some softwares

if you are not rooted then install this app from playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en
this app is great for backing up the call logs,calender,contacts.
if your are rooted and on custom recovery then you can go for titanium backup and create a zip.:good:
Also do note, if your phone is synced to Google, you can get all your contacts and apps (without settings) on your new device just by linking your new phone.
For app settings and SMS, you should probably do what @sachoosaini recommends.
App settings are not at all savable if you are not rooted. Well titaniuim backup is the medicine of your questions. And I the universe if the XDA known that on gmail you can restore your backup. But there are many people who are privacy conscious. they don't install Google apps. And rely on other markets ..

Yeah, the phone is rooted, and the new one will be as soon as I get it (or at least, that's the plan). My main concern was basically whether the LifeHacker article was still valid (it's three years old, which is forever with these things) and whether it would work when switching between two completely different handsets, rather than switching from my current One XL to a different One XL in the case of a lost or damaged phone, for example. They're still both HTC, and thus will both run Sense, which should avoid the biggest potential issue, but I want to make sure I've got everything sorted now, rather than trying it and having it not work.

Well if they are HTC, they probably shipped with transfer data software. I remember it was bundled along with HTC sense framework Roms. It has features like SMS transfer contact transfer.

If you're a developer, an unlocked bootloader is good as you have more tools too use.
As a consumer, if Sony stops updating after a year you have the potential to install homebrew and extend the life of your hardware.
For me, personally, it isn't a big deal. Last phone I unlocked was the HTC One X. Mainly for bloatwear, backups, and updates (I believe I had to flash GTalk to get a video calling version, but that might have been the Xperia Play). But now I can adb backup and disable apps. Google App updates now happen through the Play store so I think the biggest need for consumer unlocking is almost nil. If you keep a phone 3 years+ you may want to unlock for custom ROMs.
It's not like Sony isn't providing the option, just get the OEM model instead of the carrier model.

GIven that it looks like Sony will also be selling an unlocked model, it's highly likely that THAT model will be more "developer oriented" and therefore bootloader-unlocked.
T-Mobile phones generally don't need or want 3rd party ROMs, because T-Mobile users like to hang onto WiFi calling. So it makes sense to lock that bootloader.

In regards to the unlocked version, will ther ebe a 32 gb version? I have AT&T currently and I am not very interested in switching carriers to T-Mo (even if they provide Wi-Fi calling).

Took ages for public release. Took very little fire someone to achieve it. One of the main reasons for delay was that the Z2 was around the corner and some security mobile event. The Z3 should be getting released within a relatively close time for each country.

Truthfully, doesn't matter to me anymore. My Z1s showed me an Android experience I didn't want to modify, if the Z3 is the same then I'm perfectly fine with a locked bootloader. I understand why a lot of people don't like it, but for me, Sony does Android right. The ONLY reason I rooted my Z1s after the 4.4.4 update was when I decided I wanted to screen mirror to my Chromecast (which requires root since it's not enabled on the Z1s by default), and this was at least a month after the 4.4.4 update. I dunno, I just don't want to tinker anymore, and the Z1s works very very well for that. And seeing as the battery life on the Z3 is nothing short of amazing, I'll probably get it regardless of bootloader status. Or maybe I'll get the Z3 compact...
I got an email yesterday to pre register for the Z3 on TMo, unfortunately I am on VZW so it doesnt help me at all. Just thought I would let u TMo users know that its on its way to being a reality. Check ur emails.
