one of my phones seems to be unlocked.... i have an inactive att sim, and my phone just says no service. no more error page showing locked device.... I hope that's good news lol

When you insert another provider's SIM card, you'll see the apple logo, then the lock screen with "activation required." You'll only see this the first time. Once it's actually unlocked, you'll be prompted for activation over wifi, or cellular network (if the aim is active). You'll then see a prompt to enter your iCloud info if it's unlocked. If not, you'll get "invalid sim." Once you do it once, and it succeeds, you'll be able to hot swap without ever leaving the home screen.

I'm also on a 6+ on 8.1.3. Try removing it from Notification Center and readding it. Or just reinstall the app. It's possible that it somehow crashed and is just frozen now.

It's working now. I didn't do anything. Strange.

For those who were successful in getting their iPhones unlock, was there any notification that appeared on the phone after doing the ##update#?

No

I did a fresh install of 8.1..3 a few days ago, and rebuilt my phone from scratch. My battery seems like it's back to normal now. 50% remaining: 7:14 usage, 12:34 standby.

Can't reproduce that, what version of iOS are you on? Do you get a popup saying the URL isn't supported?

8.1.3. No error. It just doesn't do anything.

I just called and the rep "claimed" it went though successfully but said give it two hours. So we shall see if it went though. The good thing from this was she sent me a email that I can respond to that her supervisor will respond too. Hope that I won't have to use it.

Mine, and all the others I've read about in various forums were instant. Do a ##update# and throw in a different sim. Or, call/chat Apple, and they'll tell you off the IMEI of it's unlocked.

I actually have information about Wifi, that would be pretty easy to implement.

 

Also, for everyone else: I pushed out another build, it now includes the SNR (signal-to-noise).

Tapping "open cellularinfo" from the notification shade no longer opens the app for me.

There is an option for unlock under "Manage this device" when you sign on your Sprint account. Was able to unlock all iPhones 6 on our account.

I think that's for international, or did it work as domestic for you? I tried it with my phone a week ago, and it didn't work. It told me to call customer care.

So after a couple of phone calls and being given a couple of different phone numbers to call, I got in contact with a guy that said the best he could do was give me my MSL. I then asked him "oh so you can't do the DSU unlock right now?" and he said no, the only thing we can do currently is give you your MSL. Not sure what to do next...

I just sent you a PM

Like I said, just keep trying. This is a huge catastrophe for Sprint, and probably only 10% of reps know what a DSU is, and how to do it. Just ask for a supervisor, or to be transferred to advanced technical support. I, too, had a handful of reps try to give me this magical "00000000" MSL. I said, "oh, yeah? And where should I enter this?" "..."

Awesome. So just call and ask about a domestic unlock? And hope they know what they're doing? Lol.

 

-Anthony

Basically. If it seems sketchy, or the rep starts making up B.S. policies on the fly, ask for a supervisor. They may try to dissuade you every way they can. "Your phone may not work anywhere else; you might lose your Sprint number; you need to wait 90 days; etc.." Just refer to www.sprint.com/unlock and keep reading their own policy back to them.

What do I have to do to get my 5s unlocked by Sprint? Like, what number should I be calling and what should I say/do?

 

-Anthony

In all honesty, you need a prayer. I called everyday for 1 week until I found a supervisor with knowledge. It may be attributed to getting the bugs out of the system, but it was tough. As long as you meet these 3 requirements, they'll unlock it: no installment/contract on the line, account in good standing, and not reported lost/stolen. The unlock push is instant, and only required a ##update#. You don't have to restore.

Looks somebody is rocking a Cricket SIM in they're freshly unlocked iPhone 6 Plus....

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. I used T-Mobile yesterday, and I'm using cricket today. I haven't tried another provider around here in at least 18 months other than briefly in a burner prepaid phone. I'm trying to see what all the hoopla is about, but I just don't see it.

I'm running a cricket sim today, and AT&T band 17 is showing as 10x10 like it should. Also, I like the new text layout. Looks cleaner than before.

Someone post screen shots lol I'm not updating until I get the older version back on my computer. Recently restored my computer so I gotta rebuild my iTunes.

There's a new Tapatalk update out right now. They shrunk the forum header with a swipe right function to see forum description, and they changed the "timeline, subscribed, etc." buttons to text only, and it's like a wheel. Stupid. There's also supposedly notification reliability improvements and bug fixes. Meh.

I have celluarinfo!

It's fantastic. Simple and effective. It's what's been missing from every S4GRU iPhone user's device since network vision began.

Emails should have been sent out a couple minutes ago. Everyone who was waiting for their UDID to be added should now be able to download using the newest email or the "Beta" app on your home screen.

 

Also, thanks to everyone who contributed to get me to the Premier Sponsor level, I really appreciate it!

Welcome to premier. It's the least we could do. Thanks for the app. The new one looks great, and 6+ landscape now works great.

What details would you need? I could get engineering screenshots from VZW 20x20 band 4, 5x5 band 2, 10x10 band 13, and TMobile band 4 (not sure of BW in my area), and perhaps TMobile band 1.

He would need any 15x15 and 20x20 to get the reading. Unfortunately, I think unless you have the source code or access to the underlying core telephony files, you wouldn't be able to see the right measurement. Only Nahum has that right now.

I wonder if that will be the case for sprint WiFi calling. T-Mobile WiFi calling is set up differently than sprints. I don't remember the page but it was discussed in the T-Mobile network thread. It might be why its not available yet.

 

Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

It most certainly will work the same way. Apple wouldn't allow a wifi calling app for Sprint iPhones if it's baked into the OS. Plus, aren't Sprint and T-Mobile already using the same service for their android wifi calling? The name is escaping me right now, but I think it starts with a "T."

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those numbers may work for those situations, but you should gather data from a 15x15 T-Mobile and a 20x20 T-Mobile/Verizon just to see if a pattern follows.

whats the rush? I want to take advantage of Crickets 20GB promo for $55

You have time. That goes until 4/9

How's your phone unlocked? You for your phone from the apple store?

Sprint unlocked it for me this morning.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It only requires a carrier bundle upgrade to enable it. They can push one of those at any time. It's baked into the operating system already and just needs to be turned on. I just put a T-Mobile sim into my phone to test my unlock, and voila, I had the wifi calling option enabled along with VoLTE enabled as well.
