Guest feckineejit Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Got my unlock code today but unfortunately i had taken the phone back before i could try it as i wasn't happy with the camera. For a 5mp camera it should have taken decent pictures, my pictures were all looking blurry when i zoom on them, and couldn't make out things to well, maybe just a fault with my camera, now i have to wait till friday for there next batch of deliveries :( so £7.50 wasted on a unlock code that i can't use :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeostarNeko Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 what camera phone takes better photos? it's meant to be blurry when you zoom in, unless it's like that on normal photos in which case yea take it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 called vodafone about unlock. Said they have to contact the manufacturer which can take up to 2 weeks. I'm not sure why it's given straight away to some people but not others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The example images I have seen on a review looked perfectly adequate and a massive improvement on the San Francisco. Shame about the wasted unlock code.

Guest Patrick73 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Been to a local shop that unlocks mobile, he was able to gen a code from my imei but when entered the code the phone would not take it. He had two different systems to use and it popped up the same code. Does anyone know if there is any limit to the amount of times you can try a network unlock code?

Guest Davidoff59 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) pretty sure there is a limit. I used an ebay unlock for 7.50. Paid last night, got it today. I had tried 2 free ones that is found during a search that didn't work so you have at least two tries. I'm sure I read a thread before that the number can be reset back to zero. I'm now unlocked anyway and rocking on giffgaff. the unlock code was sixteen digits long Edited April 19, 2012 by Davidoff59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I would keep an eye on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25058967 the apk does not work at the moment, it gives a parse error but the G300 is given as supported.

Guest jt! Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) im keenly watching the xda thread. i tried the apk, same error. i replied to the xda thread, hopefully he will shed some light on why its not working. edit: im dubious though, the bloke has only made 6 posts ever... and from the description of which phone the apk is for im not sure how he concludes it will work on a list of hundreds.... but fingers crossed Edited April 19, 2012 by jt!

Guest dt_matthews Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 So does anyone know if anyone is actually working on a (free) unlock or are you alljust going to use ebay of vodafone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jt! Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 im ambitiously holding out. i feel the ebay market isn't at its most competitive yet. and with the current £ to pints exchange rate im not willing to pay at least 2 pints for an unlock code.

Guest jt! Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 if the name of the apk is anything to go by its just a galaxy s2 specific unlock app which was originally posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest muppet&chums Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Am I being dumb ? I'm used to O2 who don't lock their phones. So the G300 arrived today after Vodafone's own software glitch at cancelling the 1st order. It is just a phone...I have no vodafone contract (nor any signal here, for that matter). I just use O2 Simplicity. Can someone please explain why the OS requires an unlock code to accept the O2 SIM on a phone that I own? Where do I go from here ?

Muppet&Chums erm, because it is a Vodafone subsidised handset and they want future revenue from you and not to use it on another network. verified ebay seller provides an unlock service, see earlier in thread...

Guest bumps Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 the phone is exclusive to vodafone for 3 months so for you to use another networks sim you need the unlock code. many post here explain how to obtain one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another successful unlock from specialize here. I must say I am impressed with this little phone (which I bought for the wife), its so much better than my OMC - I shall have to get one for me too!

Vodafone are going to get a SLAP. They need to read & reread the Sale of Goods Act. I have double checked with Consumer Direct. BAD VODAFONE. If Vodafone wanted revenues from future airtime charges they would of course sell it with a Contract or UNLOCKED with a £20 SIM. Because they are just thieving scum they don't. Moreover, they cannot be even bothered to draw their customers attention to their sales model & processes. I'll keep you posted (Vodafone with be spending 10 x the cost of this phone to sort this out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
