I called T-mobile and told them outright that when this merger is complete I'll cancel my service and go to another carrier. I also told them I'll miss them.
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
Lol win
[myTouch 4G General] pnguyen5:
Haha. I'm going to miss them greatly. And yeah, the Pyramid was very enticing. Ugh. Oh well, Evo 3D most likely just got another buyer when it comes out, as well as Sprint having one more customer.

[HTC Incredible S] stefanospizzica:
Hello

I'm waiting for my new Incredible S to arrive shortly and in the meantime I'm reading the user manual, I'm new to Android coming from Windows Mobile world.

Question: if I have backupped my applications to the memory card, in case of an hard reset, is there a way to reinstall them without passing through AppMarket? I have not found any File Explorer or Application Manager included in the ROM... are you obliged to connect to internet and download them?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
You can use Titanium Backup to back up and restore your apps.

They are not passed through the Android Market.

I do recall the app requires root, but that will be possible soon and is easy to do.
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
Hi there, I hope you will enjoy android! :D

There is indeed no file explorer installed on the Incredible S.

And yes, you will have to register your google account to access the market to download a file explorer (Astro File Manager for example)
[HTC Incredible S] stefanospizzica:
Hi!

Thanks for your prompt answer! I suspected that after reading many threads on this matter. It seems a sort of limitation, I mean, having an SD card with your backup data and needs to connect to internet to download a file manager to install them..

But ok, this is the way it works :-)
[HTC Incredible S] bl4ckluna:
please use the ES File Manager .GO Android Market search "ES"
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
If you really wan't to avoid android market, you could usb adb (android debug bridge) to install titanium backup and then restore your apps. Or you could use adb to install certain apk's (apps are always .apk) you stored on your pc.

simple commands like

adb install C:\bla\bla\*.apk work like a charm

so if you download a filemanager, say "filemanager.apk".

you can give the command

adb install C:\bla\downloads\filemanager.apk

and it will install it on you phone after which you can acces all your files directly on your device.

You will need the SDK and some more info

If you want to use the adb, cd to \platform-tools\

But all this will be clear after a few hours of reading, trial and error:)

Welcome to Android.
[HTC Incredible S] stefanospizzica:
Hello!

thanks for your info. I was actually playing with adb and see it is very powerful. But you need the pc connected to your phone of course and again it seems not a so comfortable solution. I find a little bit curious not having an application installer or file explorer embedded in the system.

About the backup, I know that Tytanium need root privileges, correct? As far as I know no root procedure are still available on Incredible S. But, will tytanium allow to select what you want to restore? Maybe root is not necessary is you want to restore your application and not system files

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Yes, with titanium backup it is possible to select only certain apps that you wan't to restore.

It is indeed strange that HTC doesn't ship their android devices with a file manager, I recall my Hero didn't have one too. My Galaxy S does, although it's extremely basic.

I think after a few weeks when the first custom roms come out they will probably have a file manager installed in them. Until then I would recommend Linda Filemanager or OI Filemanager from the market, they are both free and quite powerful.

Cheers,

DaanJordaan
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
Regarding Titanium Root requirements. It does allow you to select between applications to restore, but the root check at start-up means you can't even access the backup/restore screen if your device isn't rooted.

It would be interested to see if a temproot is sufficient to restore certain apps. Something for me to try when i get home :)

As for the file manager... i think it was a concious decision to keep the device consumer focused. HTC has changed much in the last 2 years and definitely closed a lot of doors/windows they had open to devs and geeky consumers.
[HTC Incredible S] stefanospizzica:
Hello

what does temproot means? How do you log on as temproot?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rewtor:
Don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I installed MIUI and since then when my backlight dims before going off the screen gets a green tint over it even after flashing axura and netarchy 1.3

Any ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
This happens when you don't use the TV off effect and only when you set the gamma levels in the voodoo control app to something other than the 2.3.3 default which is kind of annoying. Either reset the gamma levels in the voodoo control suite to 2.3.3 default or use the TV off effect.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Worked for me. One addition is that you can turn off all animations in spare parts but leave screen off TV animation in CMSetting on and you will have no screen off animation and the green screen issue is still gone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rewtor:
Thanks for both of your replies, I always have the screen off animation on - it's one of those little things I love about this phone.

I found out what the cause was though - certain settings in Voodoo Gamma hack result in this happening, I just increased the green slider a bit and the problem was gone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sottyc:
what are your settings now??
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
So, your opinion about

Will Android 2.3 be announced for the HTC Legend?

So. I ask the question and got the answer :-)
[Legend General] segphault:
I'm willing to bet it won't happen. Why would HTC release a brand new iteration of the Android OS on older hardware? They've got very little to gain from doing so.
[Legend General] coso182:
I used to think that it'll never happen, but with the announcement of the HTC Salsa, the facebook phone with the same specs of the Legend but with android 2.3 inside, now I hope that HTC make arrangements to adapt that version of HTC sense to the legends, maybe without the facebook things

That is my only hope against a company that make new phones so often. U.u
[Legend General] segphault:
If anything it'll just make 2.3 Sense based ROMs easier to create for the Legend, really. I doubt much else will come of it.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I hope you know same "specs" in marketing materials probably means the hardware is way different and that someone would actually have to write drivers for 2.3 and Legend hardware...not gonna happen IMHO, not by hands of HTC anyway...
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
We'll get it tomorrow

I am not a grammar freak (nor TheGrammarFreak), but wouldn't it be nice if the OP re-phrased those answers to something at least remotely correct? :-)
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
If I can overlook it, so can you. ;)

For the record, it should be this:

Will Android 2.3 be announced for the HTC Legend?
[Legend General] oysteivi:
Just imagine Yoda's voice when you read the original phrasing, and it's all good.

On topic: Looking forward to official 2.3 tomorrow!
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Not even Yoda would say it like that :D

TGF: You're right about the title, what I meant was: "No, you're crazy?" Which for the record should be: "No, are you crazy?" :p

But don't mind me, I just felt in the mood :D
[Legend General] virus54:
I think there will not be an 2.3 update

but i hope it will be
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
so. the only difference between newer HTC phones in the class the same like a Legend - it's ONLY RAM. Thats all.

Next point. Dev's guys from Google sais that the phone with official working (announced) of Android 2.2 phone FULLY will support Android 2.3, coz there is no hardware requirements MORE than in the FroYo. So...i feel this smell.. you no? We have all possibility for this... We can get it.

Why not? Maybe this process will be in a few times more than for Desire-like phones (1st gen.) But it CAN be. I'm a mistaken? Where?
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
:-D ahah +1
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Holy crap, the Sony X10 just got announced Gingerbread for it this summer. I sorta wish the Legend got this Mich manufacturer attention now.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
and so, for now, we have 11 people who were optimistic :-D nice
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I regret my vote. I want to move it to the third option
[Legend General] Joshua6464:
I don't think we'll get Gingerbread but it would be awesome. Kinda hopin' for it.
[Legend General] amvv:
it's really not important for me... before froyo announcement i used mvz superfroyo or cm( 2.2.1) ... after froyo's release the only feature that was added was htc sense and as long i don't use sense at all due to battery draining there wasn't any difference for me and i continued using those stock roms...

right now i'm on cm7 and i'm sure if (i don't think it will be announced ever) gb come for legend i wouldn't use it ...
[Legend General] glk4adr:
I want one more option. And I like cm roms very much.
[Legend General] jamaalbball:
Cyanogenmod is simply the best ;-)
[Legend General] raider700:
Would be nice if HTC write an Update for Android 2.3 but i don't think so. They are releasing a lot new phone and i think they don't spend manpower on "old" phones ...

But thx to cyanogen and the great developers there. My Legend with CM-7.0-RC4 is already running great -> i'm looking forward to the Release!
[Legend General] ijama:
Yup u guys rite..cyanogenMOD definetly the best..life saver for us all...
[Legend General] astronino:
yes thanks to cyanogem for Gingerbreab cause i'm sure we'll never get an official update

We've got 2.1 to 2.2 and i think that was the only one gift HTC give to us
[Legend General] MaBlo:
I doubt it. But I don't really care, because I'd be using the 2X by then anyway.
[Legend General] robertsaedal:
by the time we get 2.3.. 3.5 will be out
[Legend General] smashingembryos:
does it really matter?

look at the way we play with our computers constantly playing with new programs, editing\hacking things to do whatever and lets not forget swapping around operating systems. how many people reading this have a dual boot computer? :D

if we want it we will have it.

it would be cool if they did, if nothing else a new release would make some of us feel better about our choice in phones, it would show htc actually wanted it to last for more than 2 years. new stuff is cool and all but so is quality.

personally i want my next phone to have replaceable hardware, processors, screens, motherboards you name it
[Legend General] g0dshead:
No go.

If you look at HTC's rep for supporting older devices then your question is answered.
[Legend General] smashingembryos:
Honestly, i dont know much about htc's rep other than waiting for froyo (being a virgin/bell customer didnt help)

personally i bought the legend on a whim, I wasnt even planning to get a phone that day :) i can say that it was my first time touching a smart phone and of all (not to imply they had a large selection) the phones i played with the legend seemed the easiest and most intuitive to use/navigate. Next time...next time i will be making an informed decision for i was truly virgin that day.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I still don't get why people expect free upgrades. Maybe if HTC charged for it they'd be more inclined to make one
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Well, I'd be happy to give say 25% of the phone value for an update... But I think HTC would not bother..I think they're in fact happy with people rooting their devices and flashing custom ROMs....saves them the trouble really...

Using CM7 or NewSense 1.0 alpha 6 to get 2.3

You can use CM7 or NewSense 1.0 alpha 6 to get 2.3 for Legend, but I think NewSense is better because it has HTC Sense 2.1.(But no wifi, BT etc.):(

CM7:http://www.cyanogenmod.com

NewSense 1.0 alpha 6: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987251

New sense looks interesting, but I'll be holding off until a reasonably stable beta is available. Plus it means going back to HTC's piss-poor dock, which is the reason why I ditched sense in the first place.
[Legend General] cyRq:
At least they're honest...

The only possible way to get gingerbread officialy, is to find some sort of a security hole in the froyo ROM that would totally screw up our legends :P
[Legend General] pappilion:
No Thanks

BTW there is an 2.2.1 ( at least for Desire ) which should be before any Gingerbread . It or SMTH next will fix any " security hole ":(
[Legend General] NX3:
Isn't the Wildfire S very similar specs to the Legend ? That's shipping with 2.3, so perhaps a chance of a port to the Legend ?
[Legend General] cyRq:
Check the development forum.
[Legend General] m.bakker:
I dont think so either. even the Wildfire-S has very simular spec's, it does have more mem.

But... it could be, it would be the last update tho. 3.5 will def not come out for Legend. a very small change 3 will be there for Legend.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
after 2.4 there is requirement - 3,5 and more inches display... so 2.4 and after - this is one billion percents that it'll never happen in the future.

So i'm almost sure that we will get 2.3... :) big hope
[Legend General] maxxur:
HTC basically confirmed to me that there WILL be coming a gingerbread 2.3 update, and it's just a matter of "time". I could post the serviceticketthread here, but since they replied in dutch it would be rather useless :]

IMO they're just going to be waiting for the wildfire s marketing buzz to be over not to step on their own feet. Then they'll just release it since they basically need to do nothing at all to make it run on the legend, since wildfire s and legend have exactly the same hardware. That would be another easy "thumbs up for HTC service" for them. Just give it some time.

@antihazard: wtf man. Physical screen size doesn't translate into software requirements lol. Get your sources straight!
[Legend General] ravichandrabr:
mail copy

@maxxur

can u put that mail copy hear ?
[Legend General] cyRq:
Pics or it didn't happen.
[Legend General] maxxur:
First reply after generally asking if there would be an update for 2.3 on the legend

Second reply after specifically asking to confirm there will in effect be an update. If you managed to get a proper translation through google translate, you'll note that he's sort of evading the question in the first reply doing some general blabla. Second answer is more clear and direct:

tl;dr. Hans from HTC states "De update naar Android 2.3 zal uitgestuurd worden, maar op dit moment is nog geen exacte datum bekend wanneer dit zal gaan gebeuren." which means: "The update for Android 2.3 will be sent out, but atm it's still unknown when exactly that will happen." He also states this will happen in an OTA update etc.

Again, in my opinion it would be very clear there will be an update. It's free positive publicity for HTC since they don't need to fix a lot to make it work from the Wildfire S to the Legend. They'll just wait a bit to make sure the market entrance for the Wildfire S went smoothly. Why else would you buy a Wildfire S if it weren't for the new software, with regards to the Legend specs/current price point? Also note the Hero and the older phones do have different hardware and drivers, and would require a lot more effort from HTC. They won't see an update ever again imo.

Greets :]
[Legend General] bonesy:
They didnt mention ONCE that is was going to be for the legend, very vague...HTC Phones, not mentioning any?
[Legend General] maxxur:
Well, as he states in the first reply "Hartelijk dank voor uw email met betrekking tot uw Legend. Ik begrijp dat u momenteel problemen ondervindt met het nog niet beschikbaar hebben van de update naar Android 2.3.", he knows i'm talking about the HTC Legend and specifically about the nonavailability of an Android 2.3 update for it currently.

I'm not trying to be the cool guy in town bringing impressive news. It's just the response I had :-). Of course it's safest to assume there won't be an update. But well, this guy Hans from HTC genuinely told me there will be. I don't know what to think neither :P
[Legend General] cyRq:
Time will tell. Hope this message ur posted isn't just another bla bla from HTC. Still I don't see why they would be so generous and release an official gingerbread update for our Legends. There isn't any money in that kind of generosity :P
[Legend General] maxxur:
No, but as I mentioned there is a lot of good publicity without a lot of effort from their side.

A couple of weeks ago my screen broke while I sat down with tight jeans on a chair, while having the phone in my pocket.

I ordered a OEM screen replacement and today i thought i managed to replace it.

The problem is that the screen does not work, I can hear the phone turning on but the screen just flashing the same yellow/green/white color whatever i do.

Here is a link to a video of the screen. youtube.com/ watch?v=RR_6fwPgJLc

Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong? I was very careful during the whole replacement procedure so i do not think i broke the screen by my self while i was replacing it.

Thanks in advance!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockwitting:
I have been running custom roms on my droid since the root explot was first discovered, and I have a rooted xoom as well. Last night I rooted my thunderbolt and installed the debloated rom. I don't think it is even related to my problem, as it still worked fine after doing this, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I removed the sim card today, just to prove to my brother that it did indeed have a sim, and after reinsertation, my thunderbolt has not been able to connect to a data network. I do not live in a 4g area, and I have tried reseating the sim several times. I can make phone calls, wifi works fine, but I cannot get the 3g icon, and the browser won't load if not on wifi.. I'm starting to get scared. I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?

EDIT 1: I have intermittent 1x data, but I never get 3g. And when I say intermittent, I mean I get it like right after a call for maybe a minute, then it goes away.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HonestEnd:
I had this same issue as well when I removed and reinserted my SIM card. When I booted back up I was stuck on 1xRTT. After making a call, they phone locked back on to LTE and everything was good after that. If it still isn't working I would recommend giving Verizon a call. They may be able to reactivate it. I did notice that the problem persisted even though I flashed a couple different roms on the device. I'm thinking it probably isn't a great idea to remove and insert the SIM if you don't have to.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockwitting:
Just an update,

I spent 2.5 hours at the effing verizon store today after spending an hour on the phone. Even after all that time, and giving me a new SIM, they STILL couldn't get my TB to connect to 3g. They said that it might magically start working at midnight for no particular reason, but had no clue what to do (I was actually at a corporate store btw) If it doesnt start working tonight, I am going back tomorrow. I have no idea what the hell is up. I am very tech savvy, and this is just insane. It must be a verizon problem in my area that it wont let the phone reactivate for the 3g/4g
