Here is an excerpt from a person who posted their difficulty with attempting to unlock a Samsung Galaxy S5 on the Sprint Network. READ CAREFULLY: To update the thread with my experience, as of this weekend (2/21 - 2/22) a Sprint GS5 made prior to 2/11/2015 CANNOT be unlocked for domestic GSM Network (SIM card) .  After 2/11/15, no problem.  Before 2/11/15, SOOL. I am currently in a phone tag/battle with Sprint customer service and corporate office contacts (as well as filed a complaint to the FCC). The Longer Version : As I said above, this past weekend I've been in a battle to get my Sprint Galaxy S5 over to T-mobile. I called a corporate store and was told specifically that my existing 7-month old GS5 could be unlocked and used on a Domestic GSM network (T-mobile).  "Absolutely you can use it with another domestic carrier.  Just dial *2, cancel the line, and they'll give you the unlock code."  Well I did just that, dialed *2, cancelled ...

Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder. Over time, the shoulder becomes very hard to move. Frozen shoulder occurs in about 2% of the general population. It most commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60, and occurs in women more often than men. Anatomy Your shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket in your shoulder blade. Strong connective tissue, called the shoulder capsule, surrounds the joint. To help your shoulder move more easily, synovial fluid lubricates the shoulder capsule and the joint. Description In frozen shoulder, the shoulder capsule thickens and becomes tight. Stiff bands of tissue — called adhesions — develop. In many cases, there is less synovial fluid in the joint. The hallmark sign ...

A Brooklyn woman scored a judge’s approval to legally change her relationship status to “single” via Facebook. In a landmark ruling, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper is allowing a nurse named Ellanora Baidoo to serve her elusive husband with divorce papers via a Facebook message. Baidoo, 26, “is granted permission serve defendant with the divorce summons using a private message through Facebook,” with her lawyer messaging Victor Sena Blood-Dzraku through her account, Cooper wrote. “This transmittal shall be repeated by plaintiff’s attorney to defendant once a week for three consecutive weeks or until acknowledged” by her hard-to-find hubby. “I think it’s new law, and it’s necessary,” said Baidoo’s lawyer, Andrew Spinnell. His client and Blood-Dzraku tied the knot back in a civil ceremony back in 2009, but their relationship crumbled when Blood-Dzraku reneged on his promise to have a traditional Ghanaian wedding ceremony as well, Spinnell said. B...

Metropolitan Police sought Daron Wint, 34, after he was identified Wednesday from DNA left in the crust of a pizza.
