My service provider is also Airtel but I didn't get any such message .... May be because I'm on Unlimited data plan and they already know they can't extract money from me on this one....

Looks like the Scam is bigger and not limited to Airtel but presently limited to India.....

if it is true,,,,,the update is online...isnt it?
we can check it through the LG software with the stock ROM.....why dont one of you check.....?or with the IMEI link from LG
Anurag bhai,
not in India now....else could have checked.
but following this thread closely....lol

Guys, come on.... Just take another look at the subject of this thread.
Do you really think any company at all would release a 4.2.2 update to a phone that hasn't even received a 4.1 firmware? Straight from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 - And from LG? Hah.

LOL. I would do the same as you (Ask for a step by step.) however, T-Mobile gets crap for reception in my town. It's not even 2G in my town, so no point in using it. AT&T in my area just recently upgraded to HSPA+. There is no 4G LTE (Even for Sprint or Verizon.)

AT&T is the only carrier in my town, for some reason that has 3G or HSPA+ coverage.
It's how backwoods my town is.
I myself am connected to HSPA+. When I was on Sprint and had my Evo 4G, I had to go to Boston (Over an hour drive) to be able to test it out. Otherwise I'd get about 600 KBPS or so download.

Sim unlock

Hey all I was just woundering if there is a free way to sim unlock my phone yes I know its cheap to buy on eBay but for me it is the principle. I found that if I stick my similar in I can use the phone by refreshing the service under the mobile network menus but I can't seem to save my apn for 3g internet or any network for that matter.
Your help would be greatly appreciated everyone ..

From my experience, some Android phones can be SIM unlocked entire by a software hack, and others can't.
It depends on the hardware and the ability to exploit the power cycle and other jargon I'm not familiar with.
I know for sure I was able to unlock a Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z without paying for a code, but for the LG Optimus 2X P990 I had absolutely no such luck and had to buy a code. Same with a Motorola Backflip.
I am able to txt and make phone calls does that but not 3g or data is that normal for a locked phone or am I just doing something incorrect to set up apn

If you can text and call but not access data, then yes, you may have an APN or baseband or RIL problem.
Download APN Manager and GetRil.
I had the same problem with my P990 after unlocking it and using GetRIL to match the baseband properly solved my problem.
OK you are correct my baseband and rihl don't match what should I do from this point

2G only on a new GT-i8190

My dad purchased a new Galaxy S III mini online. It arrived with a European charger and in a foreign language. Which one I don't know. Anyway, he managed to get it switched over to English but apparently it will only connect to 2G. I had him check under networks and he says GSM is the only option.
It's this a firmware issue I could correct?
Getting info from him has been like pulling eye teeth and he is well over 1500 miles away and only slightly less in years.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like my dad has lost interest, at least four the time being, in fixing this issue so, unless he ships the phone to me whereby I can flash rom's, etc., I'll consider the issue closed.
If there is any change, I'll post the results.

Unlock?

Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:
Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.
