Guest PedroVader Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not surprised at all, but hopefully comparisons between this clean one and the Orange one may show something up. Interesting to see that, once again, my long press numeric keys dont work properly in this rom, leaving CM7 as the only one that works properly...am i missing something? Some default setting im not aware of? On the whole though, nice clean rom, pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TouchyAndalou Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Newb question... can somebody who has some knowledge of unlocking tell me how likely it is that an unlock will never be freely available (besides thru Orange)? I mean, is it usually just a matter of time before any phone can be unlocked or are their certain devices for which it's just impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tilal6991 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 AS I said before guys it would be more likely that a modded tpt image which was posted will unlock the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dadashi Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 which moded tpt image...? we haven't had any tpt images for the skate yet, only the blade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PedroVader Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Hey Tillaz ;-) Standard Android keyboard (froyo onward I think) has a dual purpose top row. A single press on any key gives you a letter q w e r etc. If you press and hold these keys you should get 1 2 3 4 and so on. Its actually a more basic version of the HTC IME keyboard where all the keys are multipurpose, in that keyboard you can access punctuation and modified letters like â ç ü é õ and such. The installed XT9 keyboard works just fine, and the dictionary in XT9 is also OK, but interestingly enough the android keyboard only suggests word from my contact list (another weird issue) Edited October 4, 2011 by PedroVader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KonstaT Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 which moded tpt image...? we haven't had any tpt images for the skate yet, only the blade... This: But it's not modded (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gregorv Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 if flashing the rom will not unlock the phone, where is than locking mechanism located? nand memory? can we access it? kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 if flashing the rom will not unlock the phone, where is than locking mechanism located? nand memory? can we access it? kind regards. This question has been asked and answered so many times already. The lock is in the NAND, and every ROM that ZTE will release will check that, even the ones that come 'unlocked' will have the check. The 'factory unlocked' devices that ZTE ship will have the NAND set to be unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 wawb made tpt.zip files to re-write the nand for the Blade, for Gen2 update and partition change..... Can't someone do the same for us lowely skate users....specificaly to overwrite the network lock in nand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
