Call a service rep. The world of upgrades can be thorny at the best of times.

It'll adjust over time. The same thing happened to me when I bought my EVO 3D in a Sprint retail store. Took a couple months to adjust.

I think I have the best answer to this perplexing problem... a GSM based Mi-Fi device.
The Zoom We3G is an unlocked GSM Mi-Fi-

Now add Skype for Android for the phone function
You will need to purchase a SIM and data access. AT&T works for North America, but there are many options for Europe. I like the Tschibo offer for Germany. 10€ gets you the SIM card and another 10€ gets you 500MB (use within 30 days). Tschibo is a chain coffee shop all over Germany and their cards use the O2 network - one of the best. click here

Inc 2 is a dual band device...
yep. Inc2 is CDMA/GSM ... anyone know if the GSM is unlocked when stock?
AND, not many readers here would have a Inc2. I have well over a year to go on my current contract.

Any more info on that msg you got? Any phone number to call etc?
I want to receive msg like that too. I got my Inc day 1.
I've tried goldcard with 3 different SD cards, tried it multiple tiimes even with the instructions from the downgrade bootloader walkthrough thread. Keep getting error 130.
I'm not impressed with the Incredible S so far, not so great signal reception... I sold my Desire for this? should have waited, everything else about it had me sold, but going from vanilla GB (villanROM) on my desire leaves much to be wanted.
I bought it earlier today... i'm considering walking into Bell and returning it for an Atrix.
I've heard that the bell version is tough to crack, but if you want my advice I wouldn't go for an attic, everone I have spoken to has been dissapointed with it. What other choices do you have?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk
Well i'm not sure if they will give full refund next day :S but the guy I bought it from said they do 14 days in store credit for sure.
Bell doesn't really have anything else that interests me, Galaxy S vibrant (meh) and Desire Z 4G (no thanks)
Telus uses the same bands/towers in Canada (that's who my provider is I just unlocked the IS) and they have the Nexus S which I was going to go for at first but no shops have it in stock.
I really should have just sat on my Desire for a while longer. I also have a Motorola Milestone...
I have both the Atrix and the Incredible S. I had similar reception issues on Telus and Bell's HSPA network. So far no issues on Rogers (in Red Deer, AB). I love my Atrix. I got an incredible S for the camera. So for I'm impressed with the incredible S but I did just get it last night.

You should be able to get a refund if the you have the phone for less than 14 days AND the talk time on it is less than 30 minutes.

Everyone I ask says the Atrix just isn't what they expected, it looks awesome on paper spec wise, but MotoBlur takes all the fun out of it.
My friend with a Nexus S says it seems very slow compared to his. The IncS has pretty much the same cpu and ram as the Nexus S so I think the advantages of dual core phones are yet to come and see no real world performance benefit as of yet.
I'm giving it some more time, and pretty much just playing with the IncS over wi-fi and testing it out and not using any talk time.
I've unlocked and rooted/updated my Moto Milestone in prep to sell it. I'll give myself a few more days to decide, but with no RUU/OTA working on it i'm left wondering what will be it's future.
Should have kept my Desire until there was more Dev support for either, but I did check through the forums here, I knew it wasn't rooted yet but thought I could get GB on it out of the box.
Spoke to a Bell employee, he told me that they are testing GB for IS atm but couldn't tell me the release date.
If it is just the Android version that's bothering you, I would wait it out.

Once you unlock the IS, you can't return it coz it voids the warranty.
But I'm using it on Fido, and I'm having no reception problems at all.
So when bell finally releases the GB update there will be an RUU for us to use for those of us who don't get an OTA right?

I don't really understand why some are saying that sim card unlocked phones won't get OTA. Sim unlocking is not same as rooting the phone, unless the OTA update also checks what carrier you are using lol..
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Bell will give you the sim unlock code for 50$ no mention of any voiding of warranty... I bought my unlock from gsmunlock.net, it's the same thing as what the provider would have gave me.

Providers have access to the unlock codes, sorry it was actually Telus I contacted about a sim unlock before selling my Desire on the weekend, HTCs are easily unlockable... i'm sure Bell is the same.
I'm sure it was just an uninformed sales rep, or was just trying to prevent you from going to another provider or them losing the cash they would have made off it lol.
You can unlock here for $25
http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/
I'm positive that unlocking your SIM does not void your HTC warranty whatsoever since it does not alter the phone's software or hardware in any way other then "unlocking" it.
Perhaps it'll void your right to return/exchange the product, but in which case I doubt the store rep will even bother to check if the phone you are returning is unlocked or not...
I used cellunlock.net Google the site name + coupon and you can find a code for 50% off
I unlocked 2 android phones for under 20$ haha, had the code for the HTC in about an hour, the Motor took 24 hours.

Yep! That's what I used, with the 50% off coupon. It came to like $10.
Well, I'm glad to know unlocking it "shouldn't" void the warranty, then. I was pretty upset that a $500 phone wouldn't have any warranty on it.

I had contacted HTC a few weeks ago asking about this. Here's what they said:
With OTA software upgrades, it's a bit iffy. In some circumstances, update sofware is provided to local stores, who should be able to update the phone for you (policies on this differ from carrier to carrier, where some may be okay with updating an unlocked phone, and others won't).
Sometimes, a downloadable version can be found on our website for the phone in question:
http://www.htc.com/ca/support/incredibles-bell/downloads/
Each device has a specific address that it checks for its updates. Theoretically, the unlocking process shouldn't change that. Your device should still continue to recieve updates, however, it really depends on Bell's update policy when it comes to phones no longer on their network.
Click to expand...

So my question stands... if Bell decides to be dicks about it (wouldn't put it past them ) and they don't push the OTA to our phones, will we be able to find an RUU somewhere that should work? (possibly on that link in the quote?)
Just got mine today, traded in the Galaxy s2 as I fell in love with the screen on the XL. The single core processor still handles the jobs I use the phone for but now I can squint a little less.
One issue, I have been unable to find a sim unlock code as yet. Most online services I have tried say they don't have the IMEI on their databases.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting it unlocked? I need to use 2 different SIMs to get coverage at both home and work!
What network did you get it with or was it an upgrade via CPW or P4U (in UK)?

just got a confirmation from this site that they can unlock
http://www.unlockdata.co.uk/index.asp
It was an upgrade from O2.
I tried the site you suggested but they don't have a record of the IMEI yet.
I have been waiting for O2 to offer the unlock key (which they do for free) but they refused cause my SIM hasn't been in the phone yet! Problem is, no coverage at home. I just drove out of town with the SIM in the phone and did some texts and gonna try O2 again... It's so frustrating.
That is annoying, especially for O2, they were really good with me back in the day,,,, lets see how Orange do now
O2 have now accepted that I am using the phone and have said that they have to get the unlock key from the Manufacturer which could take a few days.... Oh well, a few days without calls/text won't hurt I suppose. It would be better if it could be unlocked like the Galaxy range tho. Can't wait for some decent ROMs without all the HTC guff.
anyone know where to unlock???
Received unlock code from O2 this morning. 7 days, but no charge!

They should be able to sort you an unlock code (at a cost) but @lucasex is your phone brand spanking new on brand new contract? or have you been with O2 before etc?

They unlock a contract phone free at anytime but with pay and go its gotta be 12 months before they unlock and they charge.
just got my unlock code from O2 free of cost, was ordered on saturday
Unlockdata don't stock the code so don't use them yet also beware of others that say they do. Mobileunlocked is also very good so check them too. So many unlock scams online these days its unreal

Why not email the developer on sensation forums and ask him to check your files, He will need you to upload a few but i believe he can do it

well sir you were very very fortunate, i checked 4 p4u stores, and 3 o2 stores on Tuesday and found nothing, finally gave up and ordered online.....got delivered next day
So i have 3 phones from an old sprint account. A Note5, Note4, and a S6Edge. Needless to say a few months ago when i left there service i told them what they could do with it. Now a few months down the road im trying to get the phones unlocked so i can sell them. Called up Sprint and they said since the phones arent on an active account they cant help me. So was going to just pay a website to do it but the IMEI starts with 99 so they wont do it either.
What is my options here? Do i have 3 phones that no one can unlock? can i download a program and USB it to PC and do it? Root? WTF i gotta do here?
