I just unlocked my Telus LG Optimus 7 and am now using it on Rogers. I have everything working except the call display comes up Unknown when other cell phones call me. For some reason the call display works when landlines call.
does anyone know if this phone runs on the gsm network and cdma? this phone is with cyon i think? but i don't know if they are gsm or cdma.i would love to use this phone outside of korea if was a gsm phone.
I jumped ship over at Fido a while back and got myself a free LG GW300 before I left with my Fido Dollars. I've unlocked it successfully and can place a roaming AT&T sim card (3G version) into it and it works perfect.The moment I put a Bell sim card into, I get a no sim present error message. Same thing happens on a Mobilicity sim (although I expected them to remain in EDGE roaming due to the phones radio ability)? why a regular Bell 3G sim card won't work in this phone? Any special additional unlock I need to do maybe?I got two codes for my unlock- a Network Unlock, and a Service Provider unlock. I only had to use the Network code to make the AT&T roaming sim work.
I just bought an unlocked Focus and it works fine except my computer (as well as other computers) don't recognize it when I plug it in. It charges, but that's it. Without being able to put music and what not on it, it's basically useless. Does anyone know if there's a reason for this or if I just got a bad phone.
Pre-used iPhone 4. Got it from my sister, who unlocked it. (Still, the settings on the phone - Settings/General/Information- still mention the previous provider.)I got a new microSIM card - different provider- and I´m finding several problems to restore it as a new phone on iTunes.Â
1) Can´t update iTunes:
My iTunes is set for automatic updates. But it´s been a while that it no longer gets updated on its own. When trying manually - checking for updates- I get the following message: "the iTunes update server can not be contacted". My internet connection is fine. Re troubleshooting, i´ve modified the host file, refreshed DNS... still not working though.Â
2) Locked iPhone, enter passcode on phone. ?
When connecting iPhone to iTunes, either turned on or off, this message shows: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."I do not know which password it is referring to. There´s no 4digit security code to unlock it, I deactivated it. What does it rmean?
3) once step 2 is done, Restore as a new phone.
According to the steps that I am supposed to follow, iTunes should recognize my turned off iPhone as in "restoring mode" (turn off completely, connect usb to computer, press start button on iPhone while connecting the other end of the usb cable... Apple logo shows on a black screen. Open iTunes just then, and it´ll recognize the phone is in Restore mode). I´m using Windows 7, iPhone 4, my previous provider is Orange - Europe- and the current one Vodafone. I have an iTunes account, my iTunes works perfectly when syncing my iPod touch - except for the updates-... Software on iPhone is updated - iOS 7.1.1- ...Â
I just purchased a factory unlocked Samsung Focus from Amazon. I will be using it on Simple Mobile, but I haven't purchased the SIM card or service yet (I will when my Virgin Mobile month is up). I've played around with the phone though, hoping to use it on the WiFi network at my college. I heard that the Mango update may allow me to access hidden SSID networks--is this true? Anyways, I was syncing the phone with the Zune software, adding music and such, and tried to update the phone because it said an update was available (not the Mango update...but I was going to try to force the Mango update after updating to the version it wanted me to--7.07 I think?). Every time I try to update it, it takes forever saying "installing" then it says it failed, with the error code C0000005. Is the update failing because I don't have a SIM card in the phone? .
Update: just tried again...this time it got through installing and restoring/restarting the phone, then it said the update failed.
I bought iPhone 4S some month ago, but cant set up display mirroring on my big monitor screen (I mean my PC with windows 7 x64). Is it possible to play for example GTA or something else on iPhone but with image on PC screen?
When using the supplied USB-C connector to use with my Display Dock that came with my new 950 Windows phone I'm prompting to try using a different cord.
I tried doing an update but the update available sits at 0%. I then tried a factory restore and still no luck.
I'm using a strong WI-FI connection but that does not seem to make any difference either.
last month, I inherited an LG-C900B (BELL) as my buddy had upgraded to an HTC TITAN Windows Phone. As I was frustrated with my force closing, stuck on Android 2.2, HTC Desire I decided to give WP a chance.
We unlocked the SIM from my TELUS HTC Desire and everything worked great. MMS, text, data, wifi, etc. Last week, I suddenly lost the ability to receive MMS messages from outside of the TELUS network. After a few days of troubleshooting and working with TELUS support, I'm at a loss.
I've done the following:
1. Reset my phone. 2. Downloaded the LG Network App to setup all my APN, Proxy IP, and MMSC settings automatically. (I did this last month when I was setting up my phone as well). 3. Upgraded my phone to the latest version available 7.10.8773.98.
I've also gained access to the MFG app to check my config.xml and to see what my network profile showed.
Current network profile: TLS_CA_302_220_ENG.xml AlwaysON options: ON Proxy enable options: OFF Auto update options: ON
All of the following values are hard coded into the config.xml file after running the LG Network Setup App for TELUS 302-220.
I bought an unlocked Blackberry Curve off of eBay, put my AT&T SIM card in it, and it worked great for about two weeks. Then I ignorantly downloaded a "free theme" and about a week after this, my Blackberry started freezing whenever I would go to make a phone call, the screen just goes black and it freezes until the hourglass comes up and the phone turns back on in about two minutes. Also, if someone tries to call me, my phone will do the exact same thing and they will go straight to voicemail. I have removed all the applications from my phone and done my best to wipe the entire system, but it still freezes whenever I try to make phone calls. It has pretty much stopped freezing at any other times besides when I am attempting to make phonecalls now so there is a slight improvement. Is there any way I can redownload the operating software (even though the phone is unlocked) or what else would be advised that I do?
I bought an unlocked at&t Samsung s5 active phone online and I'm unable to place a call on hold and retrieve another incoming call. the option just does not come up, even though i activated call waiting by going to advanced settings.
Is there any way to get an indication that I got a missed call without having to turn my screen on to go and find out? How about a beep every 5 mins? Screen flashing on every 10 mins?
I noticed that when i miss a call of an unknown person all i see in the call log is a number with NO NAME. Anyway of seeing that name that was on the screen while it was ringing?
I have a blackberry storm 9530 unlocked from verizon wireless, US. But I am using it in Canada with the service provider Fido. The phone seems unlocked as everything else is working like the internet, outgoing calls, messenger, emails etc. But I noticed it today that the call display isnt working. I checked with my service provider they said that i have call display and it should work but they didnt knew anything about this phone so could not help (as the phone is not from the provider). So when some one calls i can only see unknown number calling (No name or number display). I dont know if its a network problem (which i think its not because they say its on and should be working) or something needs to be changed in the handset.
Is there a way for the cal display to relate the incoming # to the corresponding name in CONTACTS?This was a great feature in the Samsung - the caller's name was displayed rather than the phone #.ideas?
i have a iphone 4s with ios 5.1 since i updated to 5.1 i have the problem that the display won´t turn off,when i call with someone.i have reset the iphone more than one time.I don´t know what i can do more.
I am just getting used to the new OS, but have an issue regarding the screen display during a phone call. The name is displayed ok, but the phone number font is VERY small. You can change the Options Display to a larger font, but then all text gets bigger. Does anyone know how to change just the tel no display font?
Just updated my C7 ( Anna 1/2 and 2/2 and I noticed annoying problem.When someone is calling me, display won't wakeup and I cant see who is calling.. Sometimes display works ok, sometimes it takes few seconds to wake and and sometimes it wont work at all.HELP NEEDED! Usually it wont wake up if it is in my pocket while ringing.
I have noticed an annoying feature with my Nokia N8: The display goes black when in a call (holding the phone to my ear). When the call is finished I have a difficulty to close the call. Is this a Nokia special feature for saving battery that can be turned off or is it an error?
blackberry bold 9900: on any call, the display dims down within some seconds, all keys and the touch screen are disabled except the "end call" key. I need the "mute" and "loudspeaker" functions which are usually displayed on the screen during a call, So they are displayed on mine, but they are disfunctional and vanish when the display dims dark.Even if I put the blackberry on the desktop and keep 0.5m distance from it, it dims to dark screen within 2 seconds after pressing the "call" key, and even an immediate press on the "loudspeaker" icon in the left bottom corner of the touchscreen within these 2 seconds is ignored.
As soon as I hit the green handset to start a call on my S5 with the Android upgrade, the display immediately turns off. I need it to stay on so I can sometimes use the keypad. Before the upgrade, the display would stay on for me. This is not related to the device setting for display timeout, as the timing is different than when the screen is generally on, but inactive. Also, the option to keep the screen on while I look at it isn't useful in this case. It used to work, then stopped with the upgrade.
Just got my HTC wildfire a couple of days ago and i have just added my contacts in but whenever somone calls it just comes up unknown, i have even tried this with my home phone ringing my mobile but still says unknown
I am using the lumia 800 for past 25 days. First I had battery problem, and Nokia Care replaced with new phone.
1. Display goes off when call/SMS/email receives. It happens more often with calls. However the call will not get disconnected and can speak till the caller disconnects.
2. After restarting of the phone there is no hint of call/SMS received when the phone was in display blank
3. I cannot pair with my windows 7 laptop via Bluetooth
4. I cannot receive any business card and not hint of reception of the same
I have owned my n900 for about a week and I cant seem to suss something out.When I get a call it doesn't display the caller nor gives the option to take the call - unless I open the keyboard or flick the lock switch on the end.Is there anyway or seeing who's calling and taking the call with out opening the keyboard or flicking the lock switch on the end.
Maybe somebody knows if it's possible to set any Lumia phone to show name of person and company name when receiving incoming call.This is important if contacts are synchronized with MS Outlook and there are tens of Johns but working in different companies. If there is a field with a company name in it, suppose this would be a must to have an option to choose how to display contact when incoming call, i.e. just name or name with a company name.
I picked up a tour from telus from a friend of mine. I unlocked it and am currently using it with rogers. Ever since I have been using it my call display and internet is not working. what should I do?
got a problem when making calls... When hitting dial button display goes to sleep and can't be reactivated till other party ends call.Strangely this does not happen during hands free mode in the car.
Do your Nexus 6P screen go black during a call. Mine does on every call. My display settings is set for 1-minute. I call Huawei support. The lady says that the screen is suppose to go and stay off during a call. Never heard of that from a phone. You cannot respond or do anything during the call.
