Sep 25 09:32:10 <dwc-> sanaking / dkirker : ran into 3g at the lowes in sunnyvale... 0 bars
Sep 25 09:32:50 <dwc-> stuck my pre2 on 3g only, and it managed to pick up some email around westgate
Sep 25 15:37:38 <DrOwl> Doh i do wish Palm had a clue about unlocking, the PSS messeed up my Pixi plus by adding extra numbers to the IMEI... Now my provider can not provide an unclock code that works and Palm say they will not provide the unlock code
Sep 25 15:37:52 <DrOwl> and will not fix the messed up IMEI number!
Sep 25 15:43:30 <dwc-> PSS? extra numbers?
Sep 25 15:50:39 <DrOwl> Palm Service Center
Sep 25 15:50:51 <DrOwl> Arr yes PSC might of helped
Sep 25 15:51:11 <DrOwl> yes my IMEI number has 4 extra digits on the end
Sep 25 15:52:06 <dwc-> how did that mess up your pixi+?
Sep 25 15:52:15 <DrOwl> just the unlocking of it
Sep 25 15:52:35 <DrOwl> I wanted to use it with Vodapone UK, but its locked to O2UK
Sep 25 15:52:49 <DrOwl> O2 are happy to give me the unlock code for free
Sep 25 15:53:13 <dwc-> then call O2?
Sep 25 15:53:26 <DrOwl> but there unlock codes will not work
Sep 25 15:54:10 <DrOwl> they said i need to go back to Palm!
Sep 25 15:54:42 <DrOwl> then Palm say they can not unlock it for me i need to talk to O2
Sep 25 15:55:10 <DrOwl> even after i explain to them O2 can not unlock it becouse the PSC busted my IMEI
Sep 25 15:55:41 <dwc-> PSC doesn't change your IMEI
Sep 25 15:55:42 <DrOwl> and the PSC will not fix the problem becouse they say its not broken!
Sep 25 15:56:20 <DrOwl> well before it went to them it had the correct IMEI, when it came back it had the extra digits on it
Sep 25 15:57:53 <DrOwl> i tried to get O2 to generate an unlock code with the extra digits, but there systems will not let them becouse it says that number isnt registered to them
Sep 25 15:58:35 <DrOwl> i spent about 3 months bouncing between them! then gave up and retired the phone =(
Sep 25 16:02:41 <dwc-> how many digits in the imei and how are you displaying it?
Sep 25 16:05:55 <DrOwl> i did a "*#06#"
Sep 25 16:06:11 <DrOwl> oh its only an extra 2 digits
Sep 25 16:07:08 <DrOwl> and 18 digits
Sep 25 16:07:12 <DrOwl> in total
Sep 25 16:24:56 <dwc-> only the first 15 or 16 are significant
Sep 25 16:26:30 <DrOwl> Thats what PSC said ;) but sill the unlock code provided by O2 will not work =(
Sep 25 16:28:09 <dwc-> well, there's pay services for unlocks
Sep 25 16:28:38 <dwc-> there's also some free software that I've never used, but some people have reported success with
Sep 25 16:29:11 <DrOwl> I did see some software, some kind of Python script wasnt it
Sep 25 16:29:19 <dwc-> yes
Sep 25 16:29:24 <DrOwl> but it was fro the Pre
Sep 25 16:29:52 <DrOwl> and the Pixi had a diffrent dataset
Sep 25 16:30:14 <DrOwl> i was trying to hack it to work but didnt want to kill the Pixi
Sep 25 16:30:50 <DrOwl> what it was doing seemed pritty simple
Sep 25 16:31:56 <DrOwl> im sure ill still have to code somewhere!
Sep 25 16:44:03 <DrOwl> Oh looks like he made a new version with Pixi support... Might give it a go =)
