Legal Way To Have Settings Changed?

Posted: 07-16-2005, 11:08 AM
Well, I've read a lot of posts about how to hack a V3, and I don't
think I am up to the challenge.

So my question is, are there mobile phone shops in Australis that will
do whatever they do to raise the volume level on my phone? It's bloody
hopeless, and I've just got it on a two year contract.

If you use P2KTZools or Motokit it's very easy. You just move the
sliders and click OK.

I'll go out on a limb here and guess that he means doing it through an
authorized dealer or service station so as not to void his warranty or
risk ending up with a doorstop. I doubt he believes the police will
knock down his door.
I think that offering customization as a business might be a
moneymaking sideline for cell shops. While I successfully changed the
gain settings, I'm still hesitant to flash or flex my phone and even
setting up P2KTools and Motokit took hours of reading and searching and
were not exactly intuitive. I'd happily pay 20 or more bucks to be able
to walk into a shop, check off the things I'd like done and pick up my
phone later in the day. I appreciate that hacking can be fun and reap
rewards but this isn't exactly hacking in the true sense of the term
anyway.

Too bad a service center will not do this type of stuff for you. The
will only do warranty repair work. They will sometimes do s/w update
if you are having trouble but there updates are a long ways from up t
date. I was scared to death of upgrading my phone as well, but I read
everything I could until I got the nerve to try it. Once I flashed an
flexed for the 1st time, I wondered what the big deal was. If you ca
apply driver updates to you computer then this is a breeze. If you rea
and read some more and backup your phone 1st, there is nothing you ca
do to make your phone a coaster

Yes, of course that is what I was looking for. Mr tryingboy30 wasn't
trying very hard to understand what I wrote. But it seems from your
reply, andthe dearth of responses, that such a service is not
available. That is a pain in the posterior. Looks like I'm doomed
never to hear my callers unless they SHOUT.
