How to unlock Nokia Lumia 1020? Please Help Me.

Hi! How do you unlock Nokia Lumia 1020 w/c is locked with AT&T? I just bought mine in the US a couple weeks ago, but before I bought the phone I asked the AT&T Customer Number (1-800-331-0500) that I am a non-US resident and I bringing the phone to my Country. The lady on the other line told me there's no problem as long as I am buying the phone with no obligaation / pay in full price of the phone and call them again thay can unlock the phone. When I bought the phone and called again, the person on the other line told me he can't and the only way is thru website www.att.com/deviceunlock. Now, I've been trying to unlock my phone since Aug. 31 but no avail. So, are those people in AT&T customer service didn't really know what are they doing and if it is really in their hearth to be called a customer service representative? Because, if they knew what are they doing this should have not happen and I should not bought this phone. Now, when I blog thru their website somebody emailed me and telling me different policies again, here is the last email he sent me.
Thanks for taking my call today. As discussed, after further review your device is not eligible to be unlocked for the following reasons:
The person requesting the unlock must be one of the following:
a current AT&T customer
a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account
Customer-Specific Requirements
Postpaid Smartphone Customers: Account has been active for at least ninety days and is in good standing (i.e., it has no past due amount or unpaid balance owed AT&T.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you have further questions or concerns, please let us know.
Their apologies cannot return my $700 bucks w/c I paid for the unit for the wrong information of their Customer Service.
Is there anyone here can help me to unlock my Lumia 1020? Thank you in advance.

It does seem slightly hit or miss although users buying via Microsoft Store seemed to have better luck if this is anything to go by: http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-1020/235805-nokia-lumia-1020-msft-store-att-unlocking-%5Bmy-...

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 Keeps Freezing

    I have the Nokia Lumia 1020 and have been using it as my primary phone since its launch in the states.  I love the phone and, up until now, I haven't had any issues.  However, I'm currently on a trip overseas and I've had nothing but trouble with the phone.  It continually freeze, requiring me to issue a soft reboot (volume down + power buton hold).  Even after issuing the reboot, the phone doesn't always act in the desired behavior.  I find myself issuing the reboot several times in a row.  Moreover, the phone starts to get really, really hot and acts strange (changes my time, etc..).  Here is examle of what I go through, step by step:
    I'm navigating my phone, normally.  Looking at pictues, browsing the web, pretty basic stuff
    The phone will freeze on whatever screen I'm on.  I have seen it screen while I'm in the Nokia Panorma app, 6tag, and in a handful of basic apps/built in functions
    No keys or buttons are responsive
    I issue a soft reboot by pressing the down volume and power button at the same time for 10+ secs
    Very rarely does the phone reboot and act in a normal fashion.  It will usually freeze right away and I have to issue the reboot again, and again, and again
    Eventually, the phone will reboot into a somewhat working session.
    My date and time is set to an aribtrary one, even though I have my phone set to automatically obtain the time (I'm currently +12 ahead from my  EDT origin).  It actually sets my date back to March (it is currently October) and an earlier time
    Any text messages I receive come in and are not sorted to the bottom of the current conversation (I have to hunt them down from previous conversations within the same thread) - I think this is due to the date/time issue
    I have had situations where my last photos taken got deleted (i.e., probably never saved correctly before the freeze)
    The phone will get really, really hot
    My Situation/Setup
    I live on the east coast of the US (GMT -4)
    I'm curently in Singapore (GMT +8)
    I have the phone set to roam internationally
    The phone is roaming on a 4G signal
    I have the date/time set to a 24 hour clock and to get time automatically
    I have wi-fi enabled, but I am usually not on a network when I freeze (I have been though)
    OS version: 8.0.10327.77
    Firmware revision: 3045.000.1325.0001
    RM-877 ATT-US varient
    Lumia Amber software
    I've tied uninstalling any apps I *may* have loaded since the issue began, but I have had no luck.  I've also messed with the date and time to set it manually.  Again, no luck.  I'm about to disable photo and video backups (I currently have them set to "best quality").
    My questions:
    Anybody else having this issue
    Anybody have an idea as to how I can solve for it.
    Thanks in advanced for any help.

    Hi there, I am experiencing the same issues. Was wondering if your hard reboot worked? 
    Hi. 'Same' may not be the exactly similar. Please provide us details regarding your case. Does it happen randomly or when accessing certain apps on the phone? What connections are enable on the phone (Bluetooth, tap+send, data connection, WiFi)? How about the background apps running on the phone?
    Ensure that the software of the phone is updated. Latest update is the 'Black Update' currently rolling out globally:  http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/
    Aside from the phone's software, it's also important to check that all system apps are up-to-date. Please refer here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082
    Hi, mmansour.
    To verify, the issue starts after updating the phone to Black. Correct? Or have you been encountering the issue prior updating the phone? After updating the software to Black, make sure that all system apps are updated as well. You may refer to the above link for the system apps.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 power consumption

    Hello,
    On 5th of October 2013 I bought from Vodafone Romania a Nokia Lumia 1020. OS version: 8.0.10328.78. Firmware revision number: 3049.0000.1330.1001. Manufacter Name: RM-875_eu_hungary_298.
    I'm syncing Microsoft Account daily (contacts only, no e-mail), one Outlook Exchange account every 15 minutes, one Google account every 30 minutes and one Yahoo! Mail account every hour.
    I have also configured Twitter account, Facebook account and Nokia account. The Facebook application (the one developed by Microsoft) has notifications turned off. For Twitter I'm using Rowi application and this one also has notifications turned off. On home screen I have the Me tile which displays notifications when there are new items on Facebook and Twitter.
    The Facebook settings are:
    - Notifications: No notifications
    - Lock screen: Off
    - Location : Off
    - Enable shake to refresh: On
    In Settings > Applications > background tasks > advanced I have:
    - AccuWeather
    - Battery Performance
    - extras+info
    - Facebook
    - HERE Drive+
    - Nokia Care.
    I never leave applications running in background (the multitasking list is empty).
    I'm on 3G. My data plan does not allow me to use 4G.
    For the most part of the day I'm at work, in the office, and I'm not using my phone. It stays idle. Glance screen is configured on Peak so my phone's display is turned off most of the time.
    I have WiFi turned off, NFC turned OFF, location turned off, XBOX syncronization turned off, music and videos syncronization turned off, find my phone turned off. 
    Today, I have received no phone calls, I have not dialed anybody, and my phone stayed on my desk for almost 9 hours. I did not take any pictures with my phone today.
    And yet, for the most part of the day (from 09:00 AM to 07:00 PM), the Battery Performance application showed a steady discharge rate of 2% per hour.
    Is this normal for a new Nokia Lumia 1020 in those given circumstances?
    Thank you.
    Cosmin Petrenciuc

    Totally normal mate, you should get a wireless charger + shell and use your phone more and enjoy it between placing it on the charging plate on your desk!!

  • Cannot update my nokia lumia 1020 fully...

    Hello all,
    I have contacted Nokia recently and all they suggest is a factory reset,but firstly the only computer I have is a WINXP computer(which is not supported for backup) and secondly,I don't want to spend hours(If I could backup) reloading stuff back on the phone for an update issue!
    Hope you guys can help..Here is my scenerio...Completely NOT my fault
    I have two phones on my account,BOTH are the same exact phone models,which are Nokia Lumia 1020's. 
    When the update FIRST came out for Cyan a while back,I was one of those ones (foolishly now I might add)to jump right on the update and download it when it first became available(within two days)...It went through and installed successfully,phone came on..no problem or so I thought...However,I was missing the "Cortana" feature on the phone! Everything else was there except for "Cortana"...It wasn't listed under the "applications" either. 
    Now this is where it gets funky. My wife who has the other SAME model phone decided to WAIT to update her phone until 3 days ago. Guess what? It went through with no issues as mine had,but she now HAS Cortana installed on her phone!!!
    The only difference in the settings for phone information between my phone and her phone is the "Hardware Revision number" which for me is 3.3.0.2.    Hers is 3.3.0.3.
    Everything else including the OS version,firmware,etc..etc...is exactly the same on both phones. 
    I contacted Nokia and the only thing they could tell me was to check my date and time and region on the phone,which was already of course set correctly to US and the proper time zone and date.
    If I go in and try and run the "check for updates" now on my phone,it tells me that there are no updates available,and my phone is up to date. 
    GRRRRR!
    Now they recommend a factory reset and a "Tool" on their website which will erase all data on the phone and put a spanking new OS reinstall on my phone,but it will wipe out all my contents. Like I said before,I cannot backup because of my XP system which is not supported. Why should I have to format anyway,since this was SUPPOSED to be a simple OS upgrade which should not force me to do this. If they tested it extensively before they shot it out to the public when they first released it,they would have seen that "Cortana" was missing. Evidently they have fixed that bug,but I am still upset because I basically want Nokia to send me (or to email me)a link to download a executable file to my phone that could reinstall the OS without going through this factory reset crap. They won't do anything like this...This is their muckup,releasing a incomplete update.How was I supposed to know that the update they released for download at that time was incomplete?  Since this is clearly their issue,I believe they should help me resolve it by "pushing" a force reinstall on my particular phone without having to go through an unnecessary factory reset,and then the major pain of putting everything back on the phone(and that's if I had the proper computer in the first place!)  I know Nokia could do this if they wanted to. All they need is the hardcore details on my phone. 
    I'm not very happy with Nokia service on this,and thought they would help me to a greater extent than this.  I guess my only other option is to "WAIT" for them to put out another update for the phone,and then try and install that. But who knows when that is going to be? I can't enjoy a nice feature on the phone for all this time,but my wife can. This sucks. After this fiasco,You can bet I'm surely not going to download it immediately after release as I may run into the same problem and bugs are still in it. 
    Anyone with any ideas/suggestions/support?  I'd love to hear from ya,thanks to all for reading.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 and Snow Leopard

    Dear People, i want to buy a new smartphone, Nokia Lumia 1020, because it has a great video camera for filming in low light, but I am afraid I will have problems importing the video files into iMovie. I use 10.6.8. . Does anybody have experience with this combination?

    One thing that people have very often omitted to do after updating to Amber/GDR2 is to update all of the system apps that go with it.
    To that end, Search for and install "Lumia System Updater". Once it's installed it will enable you to update all the system apps that go with Amber. Also, if it isn't yet installed then install "Access point" (visible from Lumia System Updater).
    Hope this helps.

  • Unlock nokia lumia 521

    how can i unlock nokia lumia 521???

    Hi, phantom77. Thanks for posting your inquiry in the community. What do you mean by 'unlock'? Are you referring to your phone's password or the restriction code that enables you to use another SIM card from another operator?
    If you're looking for the restriction code, it is only provided by the operator to whom your phone is tied up with. If you're referring to your phone's password & you forgot it, you may need to perform a reset to be able to access it again. However, do note that this process will wipe all your phone's data. Here's a guide on how to reset using the hardware combinations: FAQ - My Lumia phone does not work or respond as expected. The link is applicable regardless of your location. Hope this helps.

    You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
