Some helpful tips for iPhone unlocking

Some of our community members have asked about questions related to the EE iPhone unlock process, however, there was no official information about it in EE support page. Therefore I'd like to share some tips about this and hopefully it will clear things up.
You can submit your iPhone unlocking request in here: EE/Orange/T-Mobile Unlock Form.
Please do make sure you read all requirements before submitting the request.
If you would like to join EE and wish to unlock your iPhone from other network, you can use the following links:
Vodafone iPhone unlock request
O2 iPhone unlock request
Three UK iPhone unlock request
Apple devices differ from all other manufacturers in that there is no code required to enter into your device in order to unlock your iPhone. However EE have requested on your behalf to Apple that your device be prepared for unlock and the procedure below advises how you can complete this process.
Before attempting the procedure, please make sure that your iPhone is up to date with the latest software version. This can be checked by connecting your device to iTunes via a PC/Mac/Laptop.
iPhone unlock for iOS 6 and iOS 7:
If you have a non-EE SIM Card and you've received confirmation from EE that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Insert a non-EE SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you do not currently have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
Erase your iPhone.
Complete the setup assistant and restore your backup.
iPhone unlock for iOS 5 or earlier:
Always Back up your iPhone first.
If you've received confirmation from EE that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Insert a non-EE SIM card. This must be a network provider who also supplies the iphone/ipad.
Switch ON the handset.
Connect to iTunes using USB cable.
Use the “restore” option within iTunes. (located at the bottom of iTunes not the top)
The handset may then display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
Disconnect from USB then re-connect.
Synchronise device with iTunes.
Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating “Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked”. If using IOS5 this message will not show.
Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings.

Does anybody know if the unlock process has a "use by" date? I'll explain. Last year I upgraded my sons iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. The plan was to give the 4 to my girfriend who is on T-Mobile. Various queries came up that her SIM wouldn't work in it and I would have to have it unlocked (this from staff in the local EE store who wouldn't even lend me their SIM to try it). I paid for the unlock, gave her the phone and told her to wait until I'd had confirmation that it could be unlocked. Nearly 1 year on and I'm doing upgrades again... I have a shiny new 5S so I'm going to give her my 4S and then use the 4 for work (it's better than the Blackberry they sent me). So, I back up the phone, insert my work SIM card (BT Mobile/Vodafone) only to see the message "Invalid SIM". No amount of turning off and on, resetting, wiping clean and re-loading seems to do the job. Does anybody have any ideas? I'll be damned if I'm going to pay to have it unlocked a second time and I'm told that recently even getting a paid unlock from Orange is less fun than amputating your own arm. Incidentally, when I unlocked my 4S from Vodadone they did it in 4 days and it cost me nothing. Why do EE charge an arm and a leg and take so long over it?

Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

HT201328 Hello. I sent a request for iphone unlocking:

Hello. I sent a request for iphone unlocking:
Status of your ATT Mobile Device (Phone or Tablet) Unlock request
IMEI Number
012646004628828
Request Date/Time
01/06/2014 10:08 PM
Request Number
6673769
Current Status
ATT Mobile Device Unlock Approved
But I can't still unlock it. I updated iOs, I restored data, but iphone isn't unlocked. On a site http://iphoneimei.info/ phone statute "locked". What shall I do?

Generally when you receive an email from AT&T about an unlock, it will tell you if the phone has been unlocked and then tell you to wait 24 hours before restoring the device to complete the unlock. I'm not sure where you got this screenshot you shown, but if you received the unlock email, then you need to connect the device to iTunes, restore it as new, not from a backup and you should see the message, Congratulations, you iPhone is unlocked, in iTunes. If you restore and do not see that, then you need to contact AT&T.

Evening folks...looking for some help about my iphone microphone

Evening folks....looking for some help.....I have a 3G Iphone and when I phone people they cannot hear me properly...sound like I am underwater....
Any ideas or suggestions gratelfully accepted..

I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers. I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time. I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it. As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince. I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped. For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc. I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

Hi every one. My iPhone does not connect wi-fi - the icon just stay static. Some helpful tip?

Hello everyone! my iPhone does not accept the wi-fi function. Trying to switch it on, the icon just stays static. Some helpful idea?

Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if fixed. If not Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if fixed. If not then the WiFi chip or its connection to logic board are faulty and there is no fix.

Thank you,
Then, when you have to create an iphone+ipad app joined, have you only possibility to create Multifolio app type?
Then, can you only see some multifolio options like the Android app (next link)?

So, with iPad+iPhone apps, the iPad version would be multifolio app too, that is right?
And are these apps (iPad+iPhone) multifolio (next link)?
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/digitalpublishingsuit e/articles/making-and-deploying-android-dps-viewers/fig10.jpg

Thanks a lot for you information,

TimeZones help needed for iPhone Cal/iCal/GoogleCal

I travel a lot between various Time Zones. I wish to be able to add appointments from any time zone, for any other time zone (eg. when in Sydney, I want to add a 10am appointment for Munich) but need to FIX the times to the time entered (so that the 10am entered for Munich, while in Sydney, does not shift by 10 hours when I arrive in Munich).
Can anyone help me with the settings for the iPhone Calendar, my iCal and for GoogleCalendar - I sync with all these.
We really need a definitive Guide for this...

Helpful tip for those trying to use the included remote

So this may or may not be old news but after fiddling with my Apple TV I found my iMac which is roomed in the same room as my TV going beserk. Turns out that the remote from the Apple TV out of the box can control the iMac. It was driving me nuts and I resorted to putting a piece of paper over the Apple logo on the front of the iMac. A Google search later turned up some helpful advice. You can actually disable the infared control of your iMac under System Preferences --> Security. Just thought I'd post this for other users who aren't Mac uber users.

From reading your post it sounds like your trying to use these
functions in the code of a user process. These functions are
meant to be used in a kernel driver to set up signaling to a
user process. The user process uses signal functions, as defined
in Richard Steven's "Advanced Programming for the Unix Environment" book and else where, to intercept the signals sent by a driver via proc_signal(). I have used them by creating ioctl() subfunctions for a driver that register and unregister a calling user process. After the registration proc_signal() can be used to signal the process that
called the ioctl(). Care must be taken in the driver not to proc_unref() if there is no process already registered or you
will panic the kernel.

Can anyone help. My new iPhone 5S does not ring for incoming calls. It vibrates. How can I get ringer to work?

Hello lyngos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
Best of luck,
Mario

I have a s-user id but, i don't know if i can access the documents from the SAP portal. I hope that we should get the access by default by SAP.

Help/Tips for writing my WindowAdapter

I'm writing a program which has many popup windows. I need some advice and tips on writing a good WindowListener/WindowAdapter so the windows act properly in regards to focus. Here is what I have:
public class PopupWindow extends WindowAdapter {
    @Override
    public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e) {
        //something to prevent the user from clicking the other window
    @Override
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
        e.getWindow().dispose();
    @Override
    public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
        if(e.getOppositeWindow() != null) {
            e.getWindow().requestFocus();
}Problem with this WindowAdapter is that it isn't aggressive enough when requesting focus back from the main window... one can still select things and click buttons in the other window even though the focus immediately jumps back to the popup window (which has AlwaysOnTop enabled). It also fails if the user selects a native program window, then comes back to my program, but I think it is because the WindowAdapter for the main window doesn't have a function to detect that within the program there is a popup window and to send the focus up.
Please advise, Thank you!

So can I just add() the frame of my window to a dialog box with modal enabled and the parent frame in the constructor?
