Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my Nokia Lumia 1020. As you can see, the title says it all. This is what happened.
Few days ago I traded my mom's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a Nokia Lumia 1020 with some other guy. So I realised that I couldn't download HERE City Lens because my phone has no compass, I immediately contacted Nokia on Facebook and found out that it is not my country (Malaysia) variant. So if I were to fix it, I need to bring my phone to the care centre and let them fix it but it will take around 2 weeks which I feel it's long because I don't have spare phone to use already. My question here is, what is causing my compass not available and is it possible for me to flash it to my country's variant? If any of you guys have this experience please let me know so I know what to do! Thanks a lot in advance!

so I have a business of buying and selling cell phones, this past weeks ive encounter some serious problems unlocking them, codes on ebay are not cheaper right now as they usually were a few weeks ago, i dont know if this a temporary situation on ebay or not, the thing is, I mainly buy samsungs models s2, s2 skyrocket, captivate, exhilarate, s3, nokia lumia 900, 620, 920, 820, htc windows 8x, and for some occasions iphone 4 and 4s, normally this codes were around $5-$8 each one, but now they cost like $25-$35 and unlocking them on my country are those same new prices, so my room for profit is decreasing a lot, ive been searching about some unlocking boxes like the octopus box for the samsungs models, but i cant seem to find any unlocking box for nokia, do you guys know any? are these boxes a real solution for my problem?, I still investigating how this boxes works, i dont have a clue but im willing to invest my time on it, any advice or any other post you guys can provide me will be much appreciatte.
thanks in advance for any advice or help you guys can provide me, btw sry for my english but i think its pretty readable i guess...
Hey guys,
Patrik here again with another stupid questions, one of my customers bought the D820 module (which I almost never deal in) to be able to use it in China due to it has the same CDMA compatibility but soon discovered that you still couldnt get any Bars in China therefor my question is as follows.
Does anybody know how to Crack-Root the phone to make this possible, since it seems only to be a software related issue?
Cheers
Patrik
I'm trying to figure out if an S5 bought in India would work here in the US on sprint. Family over in India sent one over and didn't consider the potential band/frequency issues. It hasn't arrived yet but I am hesitant to use it considering Samsung's region lock etc. Anyone have any experience? Can it be rooted / flashed and work ok on sprint?
I searched around on the forum seeking an answer and I didn't find anything specifically explaining yea or nay. Closest I got was :

Hi, Firstable sorry about my english is not pretty good but i do my best. Well, I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2, I did the GSM Modification that is in this forum and works for me perfect in Colombia, but I dont like everytime that i install a new rom i have the same problem everytime that i install a new rom i need to put the APN configurations, also install a LK8 that works in Medellin, Colombia (If someone in Medellin, Colombia is trying to do this the LK8 Modem works i spent a lot of time trying to make this works) Also the configurations the signal is a little bit poor, In Colombia there is Operator called Virgin Mobile that is really cheaper and its really good, when i have my iPhone 4 I have signal everywhere, and im studying in a School really far away from the city and with my iPhone 4 I used to be with all circles of signal, also i had a Huawei (I dont remember which one) and Works 3G at my school, but with the GSM modification i had to change my carrier and i dont know if the adapter that i bought isnt i dont know, Good? i Bought it on AliExpress here tell if the product is good or not, But the signal is poor and the plug disconnect everytime i had to put a piece of paper with glue to make pressure to the plug trying to get the product not disconnected, so i talk with guy of my family who works on mobile repairment but i dont have enough time to talk and he said that if bought and put a Middle Cover of the Galaxy Note N7100 i will not having this problem anymore i bouth it yesterday a that will take i dont know 3 weeks to came to my house because is from China, Thats true about buying this can fix my problem? Instead i look for this product i saw in this page some products that are called MotherBoards, I know what is it, but i dont think that there is people selling it, because in Colombia is 90% impossible to get one legaly, so i look for the N7100 but i dont know if i can make that to my phone, there isnt Hardware Differences between those products? I mean differences Between N7100 and SPH-L900? also in my searching i look for the N7105 that is Note 2 LTE, So what do you recommend to me? Buy a N7100 Motherboard or a N7105? or thats is impossible?.
Well i dont have the permission to post any external Link. if you want to see those products that i mentioned in the post let me a Private Message and i will send you the links of page that i Bought, is AliExpress
Hey guys and gals, not really new here just don't post very much, but I've gotten myself in a predicament. I recently bought a SM-G930T off of Craigslist but it is already factory unlocked so I could use it on Metro PCS. The thing about it is it is a 64GB phone which I know wasn't released in the United States yet. So I called Metro PCS to get the phone activated and the phone has a contract under it so I cannot use it. Does anyone know where my phone is from? It has the Snapdragon 820 CPU according to CPU-Z. Just trying to figure out what I can do with this thing instead of using it as a Galaxy S7 Touch
Thanks in advance,

Was probably stolen bro
Few things you can do: check the IMEI at Swappa's ESN check: see if the phone is A) not a fake B) not stolen/blacklisted.
If the phone isn't stolen/blacklisted, you could try to get a sim card and put it in.
How is there a contract on an unreleased phone?
You sure this phone is an international 64GB version of our phone in the US? not sure even China or the other places have our processor and 64GB of ram

I think he has an international version (most likely) or a clone. I sold my htc 10 to some dude and the reason he bought my phone was because he said it's really slow and imei changed. So at a glance, the phone was identical to my S7. The biggest difference was obviously the display and it's brightness, also it's somewhat more laggy than the s7 already is. And lastly the fingerprint didn't work AND didn't even see it on the settings. I can see how an average dude can get tricked but even I couldn't believe my eyes, I switch phones about 6-7 times a year and this is by far the best clone I've seen.
Why don't you try using a tmobile sim card? Isn't metro cdma under tmobile's network? just try to convince them and threaten to leave then lol
