T-Mobile G1 SIM Unlock question

Ok, first of all, I searched, read the sticky's and have not been able to find any info on this:
Is there an XDA-Dev/chef/modder/{insert other titles here} that provides Unlocking services?
Yeah, I know I can google all over the place and find services that will unlock my G1, but I had an HTC Fuze (Raphael) and rather than using one of those services, I paid someone here to do it. You guys here offer a lot, I can't afford to donate as much as I want, but the least I can do is when I can pay for a service, is see if someone here can provide it and spend my money with a community that gives me so much as it is.
Thanks!

Theres a guy on the sapphire general thread giving away three codes a week for the sapphire. He may sell it to you. Most of the time I tell people to Ebay it. Have you contacted your provider yet?

No one on here does it, you can go to or call T-Mobile, and they will do it for free. Just explain that you are not a customer and bought your phone third party and they should be able to do it. They are usually pretty quick about it as well.

Funny, I am a T-Mobile customer.... And an AT&T Customer... lol!
Thanks, I know about calling them and getting it, but as my post said, I wanted to give back to someone here since I could with a paid unlock.
Thanks again all and I will just have to spread the joy and hit some Donate buttons!

OFF TOPIC: I worked at the summit a snoqualmie last season! We had a crappy season over up there last year! I moved to Boise this summer and we already 6" on the mountain! THINK SNOW!

I have a donate button, you wanna push it.

Well, just called T-Mobile, they have to request them from HTC and it will be sent, along with instructions, to my email (and also noted in my account).
Can take up to 24 hours, but I am not in that much of a rush, so it's all good.
Thanks all!!!
And I will have to see about your donate button... See if it likes me or not.

i requested it and it came after 1 month, to my email.

Create your own app using appinventor

Just learned about this program from engadget.

It sounds really easy and fun to create your own app. I'm trying to think what app I need for myself.

cute. my draw back is the apk's i think of would require something of more complexity. however, i do like the the opportunity to build simple apps.

Perfect!
This is a great gateway to get people into developing.
Snaps for Google.

Will check this out. Thanks for sharing.

Just signed up a couple hrs ago, can't wait to try it out
Sent from my European Vogue using XDA App

I signed up, but it looks like it requires a driver to connect the phone to Windows. Even with the dual mount sd widget the appinventor Windows program wouldn't recognize my Vogue.

Does anybody know how long it takes to receive the download after submitting a request form? I'm very anxious to try this and I filled out the form yesterday

Signed up. Looks amazing, just what a guy with no programming skills needs. Now, how long do we need to wait? That's the main question.

Yeah I signed up two days ago. Hopefully we will receive download links within the next week or so. But this looks perfect for me. I've already done some of this building block programming with vB express. Its easy and fun to mess around with for sure.

Signed up for my Android device. Man, wish they had something like this for WinMo. Better yet, wish they had something like this for PC platforms!!

waiting game
Anyone know how long until we get the invite?

I submitted for an invite a few days ago yet no invite.
I want it NOW! Haha

Mhh, sounds weird, but should work well for standard things
I will stay at .net and objective c

This looks great. Next phone will be Android. I'll keep my HD2 for FpseCE.

ya I signed up, seems like awhile ago, I really want to try this out cant wait hopefully they accept my form thing

After fill out the request form they say couple of weeks, as i know Google it means 2-3 weeks... So next or overnext week it should be there. Depending on how many ppl they want invite and how many have signed on...

So...anybody who has gotten the invite should hook a brother up with the install file...*cough* PM

From reading the site with all the information and such i dont think its something you download, but more of a browser based tool. Not quite sure how that would work... But it did say in the browser. Chrome extension maybe?
And if you watch the video they are doing it from within the browser. So no download. Im assuming that its not open to anyone because the site says to go to the website that we sign up at. So when we start seeing a log in button there, we know were in business.

[Q] ROM Manager premium problem-how do i contact app dev?

I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.

ok thanks guys just did it. hope it works.

Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.

Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.

dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....

join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra

I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.

Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.

nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.

also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings

If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.

I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus

I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?

Google+ invites here

Well I managed to get over 120 people in, so that was a success. Google have now taken my invite button away, so no more invites, I'm afraid.
Sorry to shout, but I've started to get pm's now asking for invites.

Okay, I've edited the 1st post cos I realised it will just disappear if there's no posts on it and I want to invite as many people as possible. Google+ is looking VERY good at the moment and the more people we can get in the better!

Thanks that was quick

Not many people taking up the offer, so it's easy to keep track of, and everyone seems to be getting in straight away as well. Win!

Thanks for the quick invite, but I just get a button that says "Learn more about Google+" and when clicked takes you to screen that tells you it is in limited Beta and offers to keep you posted. So are invites closed already or am I missing something?

thanks, just input my email address and was invited. But how to use g+?

My invitation had a link that said something like "View or comment on post »" and I used that to sign up.
If that's not working then just keep the email and try every now and then, but they were definitely accepting invites very recently.

I guess they must have their own criteria as to who gets in then, unless you just keep trying. Most of the people I invite are getting in straight away.

I saw somewhere that there's a workaround for Google+ invites not working; I can't confirm this or anything, obviously... anyway, I think the article said that if you share something with a friend (i.e. you put in their e-mail address to share it), then it'll send out an e-mail to the thing you shared (like a post on your "wall" or whatever it's called), and then you can sign up. Just speculation, dunno if it works or not ^^
And yeah, I used my gmail account.

That's a very good point. Most of the people that are posting their email addresses to the spreadsheet are using gmail or googlemail addresses. There's only a few that haven't so maybe that's a deciding factor. I suppose it would make some sense, while it's still in beta.
Edit: Just saw Breece's post above. This obviously isn't the case.

I just got a MMS to my Google Voice number!

it came from an email
[email protected]
the 1s being my phone number (with the area code and 1 in front: ex 1 775 123 4567) and the 2s being the number of the person who sent the message and the random being some random combination of numbers and letters
anyone else seeing anything like this? anyone try sending OUT?

Not sure if that's sarcasm or an attempted flame/trolling, but your post isn't very useful.
Last I was informed Google voice doesn't support mms. This message showed up as an actual mms, not an email, but sent from an email address. It was accompanied by an actual email to my Gmail account, but they both had the picture. I've never received an mms to my Google voice before, and they haven't made any announcement anywhere I can find saying its working, so what gives?

It has been working for any Sprint user that sends an MMS to a Google Voice number since October. The Sprint user doesn't need to be using Google Voice for it to work.
Also, I'm getting MMS's from Virgin Mobile (which uses Sprint's network) and T-Mobile users as well but they haven't said anything official about it AFAIK. AT&T still doesn't work at all.

Google announced Oct 14 that GV users would be able to receive mms from Sprint users.
googlevoiceblog blogspot com/2011/10/first-steps-towards-mms-support.html
I got an mms from my brother last week and was shocked until I remembered he is on Sprint.

Why is this MMS thing so hard to do? I remember when Apple was going through this with the iPhone a few years back. Was very weird then as now.
Google can't figure out how to send a picture along with the other data?

I really hope they get this working. My phone has trouble recieving MMS messages from iPhone users (my whole family but me), and this would provide a great way to recieve the pictures.
