[Q] unlocked At&T nexus one on t-mobile - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so after my g2 took a swim i got a replacement from t-mobile. came with 2.3.3 and its un-rootable as of now....i keep getting horrible signal/data problems and figured id switch back to the trusty ol nexus one. i had one in the past, then realized i like a keyboard and switched...my mistake.
find a good looking one on ebay, its already unlocked, rooted...all the "hard" work already done haha. good price...so i buy it. pop in the sim card and its working fine. the only problem is....i only get EDGE. im on t-mobile and my nexus in the past ran 4G (or H) at the time no problem, all the time.
after doing a little research i realize i got an AT&T model...and i cant get 3G or higher speeds. only edge...is there anyway i can get this to work on t-mobile besides just having edge all the time? its driving me nuts. if not looks like im going to have to sell it and be a little more careful.

and i posted this in the wrong section mods please move?

This is your only option.

The AT&T version is actually harder to find, so you should be able to sell it quite easily...

thanks for the replies. looks like ill be putting it on ebay pretty soon.

You could try a Sprint Touch Pro (you can get one for $100-$150 in either Market Place or eBay). Plus, there is work in progress for an Android port for it. I would suggest the TP2 but it goes into the $200-300 range.
look for a moment with a bad ESN and then 'fix' it..

what do you mean bed esn and 'fix it'
i found one on ebay for 150 witch is pretty resonable im still looking tho it says for parts only due to bad esn but it says it works 100 percent but cant be activated with sprint what exactly does this mean
or a perfectly fine one just outta the repair center for one sixty i only have twenty soo i guess i need to keep savin
ok i found out what esn is and it apperntly very hard to fix and sometimes cant be fixed darn ohh well i just save for one with a good esn
Check craigslist and get an Vogue/ppc6900.
Whatever you get, make sure it runs android from NAND.
I had a TP2 and mogul and ran android from SD
and it kills the battery to make it not worthwhile.
The ppc6900 I have though, runs android from nand and
it's like having a baby EVO. (i haven't had any other android phone
such as the moment or hero to compare).
I got my vogue from craigslisth for $50 with charger, manuals, data cable,
and extended battery+cover. I'm glad I did.
having a keyboard is useless if you don't have battery life.
I'm looking to get an evo with bad esn, even if it can't be repaired yet.

alot of people have been returning the evo mainly because of the size. plus 4G isn't all that great right now. if your going to get a 4G phone then wait till 4G is everywhere like 3G. i got the hero for 79.99 with new contract and i couldnt be happier! rooted with a custom rom and overclocked to 728... this thing is badass!

Also for 4g, I would wait for LTE devices, as for the most part WiMax 'lost' and LTE is going to have more carriers

[Q] My Nexus One got run over by a truck!

It still works, but the screen is cracked pretty badly, I'll definitely need to upgrade soon. I loooooved my nexus one, don't know what phone will live up to it. My friend is pushing the vibrant pretty hard, but I'm not a fan of samsung's android phones. So I'm thinking G2 or mytouch 4g. neither the front facing camera or physical keyboard is anything I need, so they're kinda even in my book.
What is important to me is future upgrades, I want to make sure my new phone will last a while and not get screwed over with newest android releases.
also I'm a big fan of custom develpment, I was constantly changing the roms on my nexus one, so hopefully my new phone will have a lot of xda support.
So, fellow Nexus One lovers, if you had to get a new phone, what would it be? What do you guys recommend?
Well, if the Nexus Two rumors are true next week, I would get that. Remember, Google made it easy to root and hack the Nexus One, something that carriers are reluctant to allow with their android phones.
Having said that, I'm inclined to recommend the G2 first and mytouch 4g second.
Bummer...wait till next week to see if there is actually an oficial N2...
good point about the nexus one being easy to be rooted. I did read this about the Nexus Two today, so that might not become an option after all. I suppose I can wait a few weeks, see how developer's tackle the mytouch, see what happens.

Samsung denies Nexus Two Phone rumor..!!
There is no such thing as Nexus Two/s
check this out
http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/11/01...o-phone-rumor/
if it works other than the screen you could probably fix it. the digitizer (touch screen) and LCD/AMOLED have replacements for sale everywhere on the net.
its the other parts that are hard to find and pretty much require a broken doner phone to replace like the mainboard.
you can find these things on ebay, the upper board is also for sale on ebay everywhere (the board that contains the camera/speaker and some other modules)
The G2 has turned out to be a very difficult phone to root. There is only a temporary method last time i checked. If the Mytouch 4G is more easily rooted, I would recommend going with that phone based on your preference for customization.

yea the touch screen works fine, it's just cracked pretty good. Do you know exactly what part I'd be looking for?
this is the digitizer (the touchscreen which includes the exterior glass panel)
http://cgi.ebay.com/USA-DIGITIZER-T...673812?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0b90ed94
this part is NOT the LCD/AMOLED screen. it is the exterior glass you actually touch. inspect it carfully to make sure the LCD/AMOLED panel is not also cracked.

Definitely wait till Christmas. If anything cool will be announced this year, it'd be Christmas-time.
Wouldn't u hate it if you got MyTouch 4G or w/e, only to cry when some new phone (N2 or Galaxy S2?) are released later on?
cool thanks for everyone's advice. I'm gonna go ahead and try and replace the screen for now, and whenever the next big thing comes out I'll probably pick it up.
quick update, I successfully replaced the digitizer on my phone! It was kinda tricky taking everything apart, but for only $35 it was well worth it! thanks for those who suggested I fix it myself, saved me a ton of money and I get to keep using the best Android phone in existence, the Nexus One!!!

[Q] Is it worth getting a G1??

Hey all,
I'm wanting to get another Android phone as I got rid of my HTC Wildfire. I'm thinking about getting the G1 as its cheap and seems as though it can perform well.
I'm looking at buying one that is locked to T-Mobile and has the newest carrier updates on. My question is can it be unlocked? and does Cyanogen mod perform well?
Thanks!
It would be worth having one now, but getting one from fresh... that would depend on how cheap you can get one and if you think you need a hard-QWERTY. The G1 is quite old... and you may be more content with adding more funds for a G2.
I recently bought a G1 for cheap, and it is great currently have it running gingerbread which works really quite well, a lot more so then i thought cyanogenmon 6 did.
I also believe that they can be unlocked quite easily as well
Thanks for the info
I'm looking at a G1 also, coming from a CDMA Moment with 2.2.2 and looking to switch to GSM. The Moment has a faster processor(?) but is not a very good at some things, like being a phone. Is the G1 a good PHONE? I can get a good ROM for the things I want but does the phone part work well?
G1 okay phone, easy to mod. if you like tinkering.
G1 is an okay phone. My partner at work uses a Blackberry, he can't hear the person at the other end without an ear piece, I don't have that issue on my G1.
I do NOT love my G1, it's bulky/heavy and I don't feel the build quality is as good as some of the other phones. The Speaker is on the back of the phone, opposite from the display - seriously who does that? Samsung for example always puts the speaker above the main screen.
The Keyboard has very small keys but it IS a 5 row keyboard, you can get good with some practice, but some of the newer phones, ex: T-Mobile Sidekick 4G has a keyboard/CPU/display that I almost can't believe how good it is, however they have the dumbest overlay I've ever seen, haha, can't have it all I guess.
The G1 is reliable, it's just not very pretty, if it's cheap, it's a deal.
Hi,
I am contemplating putting my G1 up for sale.
It is the one in my Signature.
Lemme know.
Heeter
If you don't play big games, g1 is enough, however, you cannot buy a new one now.
If I were you, I will buy another new phone.
I suggest a HTC Wildfire at least :/ g1 is maybe just too slow even for normal use if your gonna even get apps :'(
Honestly, no. Get a higher end device and you will be much happier.. I just got a HD2 and it is a huge improvement over the G1, and very worth investing in.
The G1 can't run many of the apps on market because it is too slow, including live wallpapers, angry birds rio, etc..
It depends on how much you can get if for. I got mine for US$50 used a few weeks a go. It's really slow and low on capacity but it's a great entry phone to Android for me. Learned a lot with it. It works great as a phone. And the best part is, if I brick it, I will not feel bad. Just pull the SIM and move to the next cheap phone I can find.
Just saw someone selling one for $30 on craigslist. I would definitely get that one if I haven't got this one.
I completely agree with the above statement ^^
I would love to get an G1 for a nice 2nd/back up phone since my bb 8900 curve have self rebooting problems

[Q] Droid 4 in Canada (Rogers?)

I need a new phone with a physical keyboard. Was looking at the Droid4, which appears to have the best physical keyboard around, but am a bit of a newb at this stuff. My old HTC Dream (G1) is dying, and I need to figure this out sooner then later. Haha
Can it be unlocked to work on Rogers Wireless in Canada?
As of right now, no.

Thnx. Is it a case of no unlock? Or (lack of knowledge here) no GSM support?
Also, once an android device is rooted, is there an unlock app of some kind? Or?

Currently GSM support is disabled in the firmware and AFAIK it will stay that way until Verizon releases an update to enable it.
Was a bit disappointing they do not have the global services available on the Droid 4. If your looking for a device with keyboard right now you may be able to pick up a used Droid 2 Global. I know those work up there as I had one when I was in Canada last year.
All I can say is, damn. I can't believe how messed up the mobile phone industry is. There is a device, I want to use it, so much so that I'm willing to pay the crazy $549.99 pricetag for it. However, they've decided that I'm not allowed to use it on my network. I hope chinese clones step up their game! Heh.
I was contemplating a droid3, however don't want to spend too much since I may want the droid4 once its actually usable.
I was contemplating picking up a motorola flipout for the meantime, cheap and weird looking!
Also, this probably isn't the right place for a question about this, but I'm at a loss as to what the heck unlock codes actually are (are they issued by the carrier? or hardware manufacturer?) and why there are numerous scammy websites selling them. Can anyone recommend a site I can do some reading about this on? About why I'll probably have to pay for one? I may need to know this if I pickup a different used phone.
The SIM Unlock codes are usually given by the carrier to their paid customers. Verizon will give them out if you have had an account in good standing for 6 months if I recall right.
As for sites to get the unlock codes, I cannot make any recommendations due to I have never paid for them. I have however seen on sites like deals extreme unlocker SIMs that go between the phone and the SIM but have no idea if or how well those work.
Also if you buy a used device you may be able to get one that has been SIM unlocked already. The SIM unlock is a one time task, even if the phone gets wiped or reset it will remain SIM unlocked.
I still keep my G1 as a spare. My next step from that was a TouchPro2 - it comes with WindowsMobile, but I'm running XDAndroid on it. It has an excellent keyboard. I think I still like the TP2 keyboard better than my D4's keyboard.
But, the TP2 has the exact same processor as the G1, and only a tiny bit more RAM. It has a much higher screen rez (800x480) but no faster hardware, so it is noticeably slow.
If I were you I'd look at picking up a used Droid3. I was considering the D3 as my next phone from the TP2, but waited instead for the D4 to come out. As it is, I'm finding that Verizon's 4G service is cutting out all the time on me, so it's still better as a 3G phone. And I'm heading off to Europe in a couple weeks, and will have to bring my G1 or my TP2 on the trip anyway.
Curses to Qualcomm, Motorola, and Verizon. Verizon for their stupid policies and selling a phone with full-featured hardware and intentionally crippled software. Motorola for their locked firmware that prevents end-users, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the damn hardware, from installing software on it as they see fit. Qualcomm for preventing end-users (again, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the hardware) from even seeing the specifications so that they can provide their own software.

Bell sells the Motorola XT860, I'm currently using it unlocked on Rogers without a hitch. The only issue, I'm not sure if this phone will get official ICS support... The devs are hacking away at getting all of the cool ICS features up and running though
You can probably find an XT860 on Kijiji, Craigslist or even eBay for a lot cheaper than the full Bell price... heck they were giving them away on 3 year contracts during xmas. You might want to check out the Droid3 forums in the meantime to get some more info on XT860
Fwiw, i'm in Ireland now and popped an Irish SIM into the phone. Interestingly enough, you can swap the SIM while the phone is powered on, in Airplane mode. It still didn't work, but the phone didn't complain about any SIM lock. But when I rebooted the phone, it complained then.
There are properties in /system/build.prop for enabling world-mode. I turned these on, but looking at the radio logcat, it seems that our current libril-xxx.so just doesn't support any GSM commands.
The interesting thing is that the Motorola Atrix has the same Qualcomm MDM6600 radio modem as this phone. I'm going to look for an Atrix ROM and see if I can kang some libril files from there to see if I can get any further. (Btw, I wrote the multimode RIL for the XDAndroid ROM; this sort of investigation is my specialty...)

This phone is too early to jump into for me. I'll stick to my 4G Slide for now and check back on this device in a few months. Maybe development will pick up by then and they'll have the GSM thing sorted out

I'm in the same situation as OP. Need to upgrade phone (from a Desire Z) and want something with physical keyboard. Droid 4 seems like the best bet.

The phone worked fine for me on Rogers when I had it. I did a bunch of tweaking in order to get all of the functions working, but this was back in ICS. Also, no LTE is available...
But you're much better off going full touchscreen, just get used to it... I think keyboard phones are going the way of the dinosaur

OK guys this is perfect timing.. and i dont have much support for th eextra tweaking issues we have in Canada, with some of these phones and roms..
Anyhow. Heres my story.. You will like the ending!!
Ive owned a Droid 3 (XT860-BELLMOBILITY) for over a year now.. I came from the original Milestone 1 from Telus Mobililty.
4 weeks ago I had my Droid 3 stolen from me in the laundry room of my condo.. Well it was more.. forgotten by me (i think it was lost there.. for sure!!) and some lucky sole got their hands on it.. I can now use google and its cached pages of kijiji to see that it wass posted the day of.. lol ive got the kid selling other goods so its only a matter of time before i force karma upon him
I took a risk, but being desperate QWERTYDROID junkies like we are, and bought an American Verizon Droid 3 (XT862)
--Keep in mind that i knew nothing about unlocking, rooting, restoring, and doing the whole ROM/Bootstrap/TWRP/SAFEBOOT etc.. Im 35, been into pc's since i was 15, but never into MAC or LINUX.
At this point ive bricked these phones and the next one i speak about dozens of times, while attempting to do the practice makes perfect sort of journey to see what works, what doesnt, what sometimes does, etc.. Its always ended up being able to use the original stock rom's with no problems. (sometimes bloatwear was anoying) but not much support for our radios and etc.
So i had a bit of trouble getting this verizon droid 3 up and running as verizon themselves gives us extra work by trying to secure the load up of the activation process. Either way.. it worked, and still does, and ive gotten a few roms working on it like all SteelDroid, CM10.1, MiniMoto, and possibly a couple others. but these were the ones that can and will work, with a bit of trial and error.
shoot gotta run for a few minutes. so i wanna post this so i dont lose it all.
PART 2 of this story to follow within an hour!! But ill give you a bit of a spoiler.
I am using a Droid 4 now.. as a poster said justr before me, he had many issues to get past, well so did I, but them came the huge hurdles to get over also..
Still have my droid 3 xt862 that was wanting to sell. though,, im still not for certain ready to part with it..
be back shortly sorry about this..
next part in next post

As far as I'm aware, there shouldn't be any problem getting this to run on a GSM network outside the United States. If the phone is on ICS or JB the GSM is unlocked already. If you use any of the ROM's, there's a thread in the "Droid 4 Android Development" called "Enable GSM on any ROM Patch" which should fully enable it.

[Q] Honestly, is the Vivid a "good" phone?

So here is the deal... I have been a Verizon customer for years, and I am just sick and tired of them jerking me around and upping their rates, taking away unlimited data, taking away early upgrades, etc. So I am thinking of jumping ship and going to Net10. I have also been a big HTC fan for a long time, currently using the HTC Rezound which seems to be roughly a slightly improved CDMA/LTE version of the Vivid. I can get a new, sealed in the box, unlocked HTC Vivid for about $200 on eBay.
So where I am going with this, knowing HTC has had quality models and, well, lets just say questionable models, how is the Vivid? Is it solid and relatively problem free? easy to unlock, S-OFF, root, ROM, return to stock, etc. Has anyone used this on Net10/StraightTalk?
So basically I am just looking for people's opinion of the phone in general, from a heavy phone users perspective... My other alternative's at this time are the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket which I can get new for about $210, or just suck it up and grab a Nexus 4 from Google, although the $350+tax and shipping for the 16GB model would hurt, a lot, right now.
Thoughts?

Its not that its a bad phone because its not its actually really good but its just not the easiest to work with.
I would have gone with the nexus 4 as I am sick of htc's BS but to each his own.

Yeah, I am very familiar with the uniqueness of HTC products... I've owned more than one (Inc2, Aria, Rezound) and once you figure it out they are all really similar. I chose the SGS2 Skyrocket not because the Vivid was bad, but for me the SGS2 was just a better choice this time, same money, slight faster, better battery life, lighter, thinner, and more developer support. I don't think I would have been unhappy with the Vivid, just think I will be happier with the Sammy.
Thanks for responding.
