Hey guys i know this question has been asked a million times already but i wasn't sure of the previous answers.. I got my iphone4 at an apple store with fido hup. So is this considered locked?

I'm going to asia and I'm planning to bring this phone to china/vietnam and swap the sim card with prepaid sim when i get there. Would this work or is it locked to fido? Thanks again

i think if apple activated the phone for you then they've locked you to ur carrier...
if u told them u wanted to activate it urself, then they would've just gave u the phone brand new in box

I know this is the 4 thread, but has anyone taken the back off their 3G? I'm tempted
To order a replacement back for mine and sell it

You won't believe it, but every single iPhone 3G 8GB locked to Rogers sell for about $200 on eBay.

http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.htm...lete=1&guest=1

Even more mind blasting is that completely broken ones with cracked screen and split back that doesn't turn on will still fetch $100.

yea like IS said there, basically every one on CL is like $180+ so i figured what the hell

originally i thought it was worthless so i posted on my facebook 3G for $100, a guy i dont like too much said he would take it ASAP but then i looked on CL seeing them all sell for $200 and told him i was keeping it actually lol

shitty thing is my back case is scratched to fuck but after watching the youtube videos it looks wayyyy more complicated than changing the 4's back

so i dunno, might just try to get like $160 for it as is

ws6ta · 12-06-2010, 11:26 AM

i know i am in the iphone thread but anyone know if there is something very similar to iblacklist for blackberry?? I'm currently swapping sims everytime I need iblacklist!

DanHibiki · 12-06-2010, 03:42 PM

Shit maybe I should try selling my 2G. It has lots of scratches and the sound doesn't work anymore since I swapped the battery out.

mikemhg · 12-06-2010, 04:39 PM

Anyone update to 4.2? I have 4.1 just curious if 4.2 has anything worth upgrading for?

Ronin · 12-06-2010, 06:37 PM

4.2 isn't very interesting. I won't be updating especially since there isn't a reliable jailbreak.

I did it on my iPad though since I don't really care about jailbreaking it and it adds so much functionality over iOS3.

sunny_j · 12-06-2010, 06:52 PM

changed the dialer

ilvtofu · 12-06-2010, 08:38 PM

Just got my new backplate in the mail

My old 3m di-noc Sticker

New!

Verdict: pretty cool, there is actually some texture to it but the apple isn't reflective anymore which might be a good thing as the mirror used to always smudge.
Already a few light scratches, nothing you can feel but you can see it under the right light

The only reason I got it was that the 3m made it so that I couldn't use any cases on it properly, Managed to use the bumper on the 3m but it tore up the edges as you can see.

This is one of my concerns. this is the original backplate, and it has more stuff on the inside which may affect reception? I have no idea, sorry forgot to take a pic of the new backplate inside. Anyways if you know how to change your batteries in a remote control you can do this

I used some tools from dx I bought a while back (you only need a small phillips)
and this youtube video

LOL basically, take screws out, slide the plate up, lift it off, replace and put screws back in

mb_ · 12-06-2010, 08:47 PM

Looks good!

this is wrong. if you brought the phone on contract any where, apple store or otherwise its LOCKED no matter if you activate it at home or at the store.

if you brought the phone at full price at apple store factory unlocked. i believe no matter what you do to it it will stay unlocked.

Hondaracer · 12-07-2010, 08:09 AM

Ivtofu where u order that one from?

Iceman_2K · 12-07-2010, 08:31 AM

it will stay unlocked for any carrier in the country you bought it in. If you restore, you will need a sim from the country you bought your phone in to activate.
