HT201328 Is there any way to unlock the phone without upgrading to ios6?

Hi,
I really don't want to upgrade to ios6 due to the crap maps but I am changing network and have requested the phone to be unlocked.
My current carrier has told me that the phone will be unlocked when I connect to itunes, which I have done (and sync'd).
Is there any way to tell if it is now unlocked without getting another sim card?
Is it a requirement to update the phone to unlock it.
Thanks,
Cill         
PS - I know you can get google maps 'app' on the home screen, but I've seen it and its no where near as good as what I have. Currently on ios5.1.1

Nope, read here:

  • HT4528 I lost my I phone 4 but did not have the find my i phone app....is there any way to find my phone without that app or having I-cloud? Seems like Verizon  could find it without that app but does anyone have any suggestions??

    I lost my I phone but did not have Icloud on it or the find my I phone App...Is there any way to locate the phone without these apps? One would think if location services are on the phone it could be found by GPS from verizon? Any suggestions?

    The only way to track is from Find my iPhone. Sorry. All Verizon can do is possibly block it by IMEI so others cannot use it.

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • Is there any way to handle the navigation without defining it in faces-conf

    hi,
    I am new to JSF and I got lots of information from this forum. My new query is given below,
    Is there any way to handle the navigation without defining it in faces-config.xml file? That means i want to navigate to a destination page programatically from the java class rather than declaring it it faces-config.xml file.
    Your help and suggestions are hightly appreciated...
    Thanks and regards,
    Sudheesh K S

    JSF as defaault looks your *-config.xml files in your web.xml configuration or default faces-config.xml file. If do not use default look third party tools like seam or others....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • My brother got his iphone s stolen a week or two ago. He didnt have the iphone finder app installed when it was stolen. He has recently gotten a new phone with the same phone number programmed. Is there any way to find the phone?

    My brother got his iphone 4s stolen a week or two ago, he didnt have the iphone finder installed at the time. The phone company just gave him a new phone progammed with the same number is there any way of tracking his old phone? If this is relevant whenever i call him and hes on the phone the phone connects to someone else answering machine.

    IF he set up find my ip[hone on the ihone itself BEFORE it was stolen ( there is no app, it is a setting) AND it is on AND it has jot been restored, then you may be able to track it using icloud/find my iphone.
    Otherwise, there is no way to track it.

  • Is there any way to get the phone from taking over...

    Whenever I start my Avalon, the phone says that it is "Starting Driving Mode for You", and then starts playing music.  It changes whatever channel I have on, and will even start up Audio if I have it shut off.
    This is really a pain.  Is there any way, short of killing the bluetooth pairing, to tell the phone to leave my radio alone?
    Thanks.

    Hi Jay___S,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    For which specific phone model is this? If this is for a Lumia WP8, are you using the built-in 'driving mode' app under Settings, or a downloaded car mode app from the Store? Has the phone been paired with other Bluetooth devices aside from your Avalon carkit, like car speakers or stereos? Is your phone's software updated when checked under Settings > Phone update? 
    We'll wait for your response.

  • Is there any way to turn the phone back to firmware 4.2 or can anyone help with my problem of no sound

    Ever since I downloaded update 4.3, I don't have any external sound from the speakers.  The phone rings fine and some sounds like the clock alarm works,
    However I don't have any sound from any game app or apps like Pandora, I-Heart Radio etc.  All apps work fine, when an external headset is plugged in.
    I keep getting a message that says "THIS ACCESSORY IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR THIS IPHONE.   YOU MAY EXPERIENCE NOISE CAUSED BY CELLULAR INTERFERANCE AND A DECREASED IN CELLULAR SIGNAL STRENGTH.
    I took the phone to the local Apple store and they said that it was the external phone jack.  However when I took the phone in for repair, the technican said that it was a software problem.
    I tried restoring my phone and it did not help.  The repair tech said that I need to restore the software to a PRE 4.3 to verify that this will fix the problem.
    The sound works fine when I plug in an external headset.  The sound bars show up on the front screen.  However when I remove the headphone, The sound bars no longer show up on the screen.

    I have a similar issue. Sound works okay but keep getting the app not optimized, you may experience a decrease in celluar strength. Verizon says it is a software issue. Apple says it is a hardware. Phone will niot synch to itunes to do any kind of reset.

  • The apps on my iphone 4 are not responsive. The power/lock button is broken. Is there any way to reboot the phone?

    All apps are not responsive including 'Settings'. They quit as soon as you open it.
    The power/lock button is not working.
    I tried iTunes... there's no 'reboot' option (how sad...) and it for some reason not willing to restore my system.
    Anyone has any solution to this?

    Hello there, SmartLeeShore.
    As far as troubleshooting the main issue you're describing of apps quitting, you may find the following iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant helpful:
    Apple - Support - iPhone - Application Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/
    Would definitely recommend that in Step 3 (Close App) that you close all applicaitons listed in that view.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Is there any way to play the metronome without recording?

    Sometimes I just want to sit and get the beat in my head first...The "count in" feature doesn't really give me enough time.
    P.S.- Hangtime, if you answer this question, I want to personally thank you for all your advice...I just bought a 49 key midi player today and am messing around with it right now!

    Glad to hear that your happy with the controller (mine is 4 years old now and i'm still very pleased with it)
    the best way to accomplish what you want to to create a click track. that way the "count-in" can be any length you desire, 2 bars, 3 bars, or 10 bars:

  • HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

    Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Try disabling transitions altogether!
    There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
    When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
    'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
    NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
    I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
    If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
    iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

  • I duplicated all the pictures in my library. Is there any way to delete the duplicates at one time without going and deleting them one by one

    I duplicated all my pictures. Is there any way to delete the duplicates without deleting them one at a time. I now have 44,000 pictures and have 22,000 duplicates

    Easiest solution: restore from your back up.
    Other than that: For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner

  • I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player.  It says I need ios 4.3.  I keep getting a message saying I can download 6.? but it will wipe out everything on my ipod.  Is there a way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

    I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download ios 6.? but that it will wipe everything off my ipod.  Is there any way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

    There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device.  If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3.  You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
    If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade.  Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
    You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything.  Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
    However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS.  There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that.

  • Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck
