Need info about the result of unlocking - Vibrant General

Hello guys,
I am thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy S T959V Vibrant from eBay but the problem is tha i am from greece and here we don't have T-Mobile... So if i unlock my Vibrant through the procedure posted in Development section i will be able to insert my sim and have reception and working signal?
My second query is, does this phone has big differences in comparison with Galaxy S I9000 ,cause i am a little sceptical cause the little difference in price of getting one if the vibrant doesn't worth it. So your advice is more than welcomed...
My regards,
Ribben

I've seen a couple of threads here on xda with Canadians having trouble with the 850mhz frequency. If I were you, I would have gone with a quad band unlocked phone. Looking at your phone's specs, I noticed that it can only take a 2Gb SD card - that is pretty limited. My phone is listed on ebay here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2-8-WM6-5-W...ItemQQptZAU_Mobile_Phones?hash=item23039bf0c6
This seller is pretty good and as a result of his service, my brother and a friend bought different phones from him. 2.8" for the screen size is a little small IMHO. Initially I liked everything about my Jade Clone - mostly its internal SIRF III GPS chip. Now, looking at a 3.2" inch screen I have buyer's envy.
If you know that others have had or having problems with that phone, I'd contact the seller and let him know you are going to refuse its delivery. Normally refusing a delivery is free to you on the return send side but the seller may charge you for the attempted delivery.
We have a couple of Canadian Jade Clone owners in the Jade sub Forum. You can either visit it or visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581596&highlight=clone and then navigate to the higher Jade sub Forum.
Good luck!
BTW, I was doing a search for clone and came across your post. If you look at the lower left corner, I tagged your post with HTC clone. If you click on the hyperlink, you will see other HTC Clone posts.

1900 is one of the standard GSM frequencies and should work. However, some clones have different type of problems on various carriers.
I am having service problems with this phone is there any way to repair this???????

[Q] about the 3g & 4g versions.

hello everyone
i recently decided to buy the galaxy note 3 but now i am having to make a decision between the two variants.
i have to options at the moment:
option 1: buy the note 3 (octa-core) from my country which will cost me about 900$
option 2: buy the note 3 (snapdragon800) from another country which will cost about 800$ including the shipping costs, and of course, there will be no warranty for this option and it might be region locked.
so the i have some questions which will hopefully make the decision easier.
Q1: which one is faster and doesn't lag?
Q2: which one will have better development support?
Q3: which one will be easier to be modded? knowing that knox is on the way of doing so.
sorry for the long post.
thanks in advance

thank you for your reply, I've already watched the video but there was nothing mentioned about the lag.
thank you anyway, i guess that i am going with the snapdragon one as i was exploring the android dev section of the forum and found that the sd have more support.
i have 3g and it doesn't lag and i am sure 4g doesn't lag too.
imo 4g will have better development support
better development support means better modding

I may buy a Rose Gold Korean Note 3 tommorow. Help!

Hey guys, a buddy of mine bought a Rose Gold Note 3 while he was in Korea and now is selling it. I am thinking about buying it off of him even though it is not compatible with LTE here in Canada.
My main concern though is if the phone can be rooted and if there is a variety of Roms that can be put on it. I base my buying decision on this with every phone I get.
Is this phone considered different to the development community than say an American Note 3? Will this cause a seperation in the Rom development?
The phone runs a Snapdragon 800 and not the Exynos.
Thanks a ton guys!
ps. Would you get this phone over the M8?
What is the model of the phone? For example the international version is called SM-N9005, please answer this so we can help you out

Take a look here if you want it rooted/custom ROM'd/modded. This is the main thread for Korean Note 3s. I'm pretty sure if he didn't update it often you can still use towelroot.

I wouldn't even get a Note 3 at this point dude. Wait for the new Nexus or Note 4....

[Q] Getting around SIM lock in Galaxy Note 3 purchased in Philippines

Hi everyone,
My brother brought back his Galaxy Note 3 from the Philippines (Smart network), and I was hoping to use it on the T-Mobile network. I asked this question in the T-Mobile-specific forums, but I didn't get any responses: Can anyone suggest a reputable merchant from which I could purchase an unlock code?
Also, I've done a bit of reading re: rooting my phone, and I'd be lying if I could make any sense of even most of what I've read. But, from what I gather, it's currently not possible to root the Galaxy Note 3 and not trip Knox?
I am considering rooting my phone to get around having to find somewhere to buy an unlock code, but I'm concerned about bricking my phone because of my overall nubishness.
Tell me my friend what's your ROM version.

[Q] Should I upgrade to the S5?

Hello everyone!
I currently have a galaxy S4 and don't feel like spending $600 or being on a monthly payment plan via AT&T and was considering just buying a used, last generation phone. I was looking at the Galaxy S5, the LG G3, and a few other ones (maybe Sony's Z3 and HTC's M8). One thing I really like about the S5 is the USB 3.0 charging, which the other phones don't have. However, the specs! I had a few questions that you guys might be able to answer:
1) Are you happy with the G3?
2) If you were looking to get an older generation phone now, would you get the S5 or another phone?
3) Are the bootloaders locked in the S5? (The S4 had the bootloaders locked in an update so I want to ensure that if this is an issue, I get one that hasn't been updated to a locked bootloader).
If you guys don't mind helping me make the right decision with an upgrade, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
-Jay
