A. 1) If you have the other SIM card you will be using, plug it in.
2) Reboot your phone.
3) Use the phone application to dial the following keys *#197328640# .
4) A screen should pop up, select "Main menu" then [1] UMTS.
5) Select [1] Debug screen, then [8] Phone Control, then [6] Network Lock, then Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF, exactly in that order.
6) After choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds.
7) Press the Menu button on your phone, then select Back.
8) You should now be in [6] Network Lock.
9) Select [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ.
10) Wait for about 60 seconds, then reboot your phone.
Your phone should now be unlocked! Plug in your new SIM card (if you haven't already), and your phone should now recognize it.
Iphone 5 or samsung galaxy s3?
Q. I currently have a samsung galaxy fascinate and I love it but its been dropped one too many times within these 2 1/2 years. I have verizon and didn't want to upgrade because then I lose my unlimited data, but I know I need an upgrade. right now I am stuck between two phones I want the iphone but I also want the galaxy s3. help??
A. Galaxy s3 for sure. Iphones are so overated it drives me crazy. The Galaxy S3 has awesome features such as Pop up play, which allows you to view a video on a small part of the screen while you surf the web or do some messaging. You can also use cool unlock tools such as face unlock, patterns or voice unlock. You can access your camera, messages, and phone just by saying the key word at the lock screen. Don't you hate when your phone screen keeps dimming when you dont touch it? Thats why the Gs3 has smart stay which detects your eye movements to keep the phone on while your looking at it. There are so many other features that make this phone so unique. Some people just buy the iPhone because of siri. Trust me you wont even end up using it.
HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3?
Q. I am trying to find a new smartphone to purchase and am trying to decide between these two right now.
So far, I am leaning toward the HTC, but I am open to pros and cons of both.
Also, any suggestions for phones that perform at the same level or higher than these two are appreciated; they both seem to be very large and it would be nice, but not necessary, to have a smaller screen with similar functions and performance.
Please give lots of info and give REASONS, not just say which you like better. I want you to CONVINCE me to your point of view.
A. i could honestly write an essay on why the S3 is better but i have to go to bed now its nearly 12am where i am ;) right, il summarise why you should get the s3:
*inspired by nature: the phones touchwiz nature UX interface is beautiful alongside the Super AMOLED screen. The lockscreen ripples when you swipe to unlock. Brilliant. And thats compared to HTC's boring pull the ring from the bottom. In general having the overall theme of nature is nicer than a classic iphone style.
*Camera: Yes on paper their both 8mp but the S3 seems to have better quality shots and more saturated colors. AND you've got burst mode for taking 20 photos at once , fabulous. On top of this, the front facing camera is 1.9mp, it was higher than HTC i dont remember exactly but it was higher than HTC meaning you can record videos in 720 HD p, SUPERB for skype calls
*Smart Stay: the front facingg camera will periodically check for your eyes, if it sees them, the screen will stay lit. That feature is just superb, im sitting in an airplane, long haul flight, reading an e-book and the screen stays lit the whole time :) on top of this it doesnt affect the already very good battery life. Also, the battery if removable + replaceable, unlike HTC
*microSD slot.....what do i need to say here, HTC doesnt have one but they are brilliant for extra storage.
*internet browser OK i dont know if HTC has these as well but when you double tap on an internet page the text on the screen will adjust to fit the page. You can also save pages for offline reading.
Cons of the S3:
*Design: Some say this phone is ugly.... but i dont think it is. Also, the cheap plasticy back cover can make the phone feel cheap but you can get around this by using a case, then its better :)
*Phone is scarily easy to drop when holding it up to take a photo with a camera...and if you do drop it, not unlikely, given its tall height, thin body and apply the laws of physics....yeah its screwed after that, gorrila glass doesnt make it invincible.
*S-voice, siris competitor, yeah its ok but sometimes it makes me want to pull me hair out
*Super AMOLED screen can be hard to see in direct sunlight, even on full brightness.
Well i dont have time to write on the One X but hope i helped for now anyway :)
