Please help if you could suggest anything

ME TOO!!!
I have had exactly the same happen to me, it appears that O2 are total amateurs when it comes to supplying ROM upgrades. not only that but you will find that the support no. on the site actually takes you nowhere. I sent mine back to the supplier and after trying to reflash the ROM they were unsuccessful and so i am now waiting on a new XDA. Dont bother with O2 as they were no help at all to me, firstly i couldnt get through at all and after 2 weeks of emailing them every day i got a response telliung me how to put the unit into boot loader mode (no help at all!!!!!)
Good luck to you in getting this issue resolved, i only hope that you have it insured like myself.
Once again O2 you are indeed crap!! thanks for the service that i didnt recieve, altho i pay way over the odds for this otherwise worthy handset.

£££££ what does it cost to repair? £££££
my phone is using a vodafone sim card and i bought the phone off ebay so reciepts etc are nowhere
will o2 still help me fix this ?
do you know how much it will cost ??
or am i best to throw it in the bin
plz reply soon
thank you people

Is there anyway to get Cingular to warranty my phone?

I wanna start off by saying thank you to everyone who helps make this forum such an amazing resource.
The question I have is I bought a Cingular branded 8525 about three months ago and it has been giving me nothing but trouble, from my keyboard randomly not working, none of the front or side buttons working, keyboard lights not working, secondary characters on the keyboard being all scrambled, and the newest addition the phone not vibrating at all. It is still under warranty but the problem is that I don't and never had ATT and i've been using the phoen unlocked. Its still under warranty with HTC and they've already tried to repair it, I think they said they replaced the main board but more and more issues keep coming up. What i'm wondering is if there is anyway to get ATT to just replace the phone like they would do for a regular ATT customer? Has anyone been successful in this? I've tried calling them but they keep saying that since I dont have an account with them they can't help me out.
Any help or guidance would be really great!!
Thanks in advanced

BUMP.... can anyone give me any advice?

unfortunately, that's the risk you take when you buy a 3rd party phone. They'll warranty it for THEIR customers. I've been successful buying an 8525 on fleabay and getting them to honor the warranty ( 4 times ), but I'm also an ATT customer. The phone was not released to Non-customers, so they won't talk to you if you're not a customer. It's nothing personal, It's just the way it is.

Paid for olipro but no luck!

Hi y'all,
A friend gave me his Nike (branded as a T-Mobile TouchPlus). It was locked to T-Mobile (UK). I'm on Orange.
So I paid olipro for his unlock service.
The first part (flash hard spl) goes okay.
Then, every time I flash the radio it gets to 100%, but then I'm told there was an error. The phone freezes on the tri-colour screen and I have to use MTTY to make it boot.
I've emailed olipro several times but he hasn't answered.
Does anybody have any idea what's going wrong, and what I should do? I went into a store today that offers unlocking. They guy said he'd have to send the phone away for a few days, at a cost of £35.
I don't mind paying, cos I like the phone and what it can do. But is there an easier/cheaper way? I already paid olipro!
Many thanks for any help.
Greg.

Help please???

Hiya
I bought a Touch HD off ebay which was an orange original unit but was unlocked so I could use any sim in it. However, two weeks into buying it and it started to vibrate as soon as I switched it on. I contacted HTC who replaced the whole of the internal boards and sent it back to me. i got it back this morning and now its asking me for a sim unlock code??? I get a white screen saying the network is locked and a long box in which to put an unlock code.
Is there any way I can re-unlock the phone without putting this code back in or do you think I'm going to have to ask HTC for a code???
thank you very much for any advice given

Well first of all, all Touch HD's vibrate when they are switched on, but I assume you mean it kept doing it and wouldn't stop with yours or something. And secondly I'm sure HTC won't give you an unlock code to re-unlock your phone as you say it is an Orange branded device, but it's worth asking them. If they won't help you then your only options are to take it to a shop to have it unlocked, or do it yourself at home via one of the many unlock websites. You'll have to pay for these options though.

Hiya
thanks for the reply
Ive sussed that it is indeed been relocked back to orange. The have apparently sent me a new replacement phone so I will have to get it unlocked( tried an orange cheepo sim this morning and didnt get the request for a code)
I cant believe I didnt think about it properly but Im that up to my eye balls with assignments and essays for uni my mind has been all over the place this past few weeks LOL
I was wondering if the unlock software from Oilpro might do the trick. Ive priced locally and it means being without the phone for four days and paying......35 quid to unlock it.
Back in the day when I had my SP3100 the software was free but I realise that I havent been a really active member on the forum- mainly because you guys are so damned brainy and I dont feel I have anything to contribute like you do. Give me a camera and I can talk for days( am a tog doing a ba hons degree in photography) but phones and techy stuff about roms....well, Im at a loss. Maybe thats a course I should take next LOL
anyway, thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.
I'll try to find somewhere to get the unlock software at a reasonable price.

forgot to say that it did indeed vibrate all the time when switched on( and got damned hot too) but that has now been sorted with a new phone.....

I did the OliPro way and it was easy to do. One of the cheapest options too I think.

Just tried to buy the unlock software from oliopro's site and tried to use paypal and it wont let me pay via that method. Its asking me to create an account and give my credit card details...
I'm not willing to give any details like that ATM and my money is tied up in a paypal account too.
If Oliopro is reading this any help gratefully received.

Lost Phone Help

Hi;
I have lost my phone, I know where I left it but its not there now someone must have picked it up. I have tried ringing it to see if a friendly kind has picked it up and is attempting to get it back to me but it goes straight to the answer phone so either its out of signal, switched off or the phone was found by a not so nice person and they have already swapped the SIM card.
In desperation I logged into HTC Sense and locked the phone and submitted a message? Will this work??
Now that I have locked the phone will I still be able to ring it in case someone answers?
I paid in excess of £450 for this phone unlocked from Carphone Warehouse : ( and desperately need it back.
Any ideas.
Thanks
Thanks

Report it lost to police, other than that I dunno. If you get it back install Prey, just google it and everything you need to know is there.

Sadly htc sense is a joke. Anyone with half a clue can bypass it with a factory reset.
