[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohredwood:
I bought a SanDisk 16gb class 6 on amazon, I'm thinking I paid somewhere around 85 bucks, it was the best deal at the time. More gb costs more but if you buy a cheap knock off card, it will be junk. I had looked at a class 6 32 gb card but they wanted too much for what I figured I'd use it for. I have a ton of pics and music and files on it and it's only about 3gb filled up so far.

And yes I formated mine in pc first, then slammed it into the phone..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] msr4:
My Moto Droid A855 has a dead screen, but I can see it on my desktop IF I can get USB Debugging mode enabled, in which its off at the moment.

My screen is DEAD, nothing can be seen, but the touch screen works. *I was able to unlock the phone*

I flashed stock 2.2 back onto my phone but now debugging mode is off, and my screen is dead, so I dont know how to re-enable it.

Does anyone know how to enable it without a screen?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tylerwatt12:
so your saying, physically. your droid screen is broken, correct?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] white2kss:
You could try holding a working Droid in the other hand and duplicate the swipes/presses on the dead screen.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] msr4:
My droids screen is broken, but the touch still works. I'm able to unlock the phone, and get onto the Homescreen.
[Xperia Play General] ajpatel325852:
It potentially possible to port the playstation software from the Xperia PLay to other phones. It could be functional using the PS3 controller via Bluetooth. Making virtually any android phone a small screen playstation.
[Xperia Play General] bleached45:
I was actually wondering the same thing... I'm wondering how Sony is going to implement their games. Will they just make them .apks that use the hardware buttons, or will it be something more? If so, could that something more be ported and given on screen controls (like the current playstation emulators).

It's an interesting concept and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one wondering this.
[Xperia Play General] tvhoesel:
I have the same question. Would it be possible??

I am not a dev. Just a heavy Android and Playstation user (with just a little money to buy a new phone again.....)
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
No need to port as its coming out for android tegra 2 devices. so more then possible. But in reality only "playstation certified" devices will officially support it.
[Xperia Play General] bleached45:
Hmm... I don't see Sony making something they know can be used on other devices. If they are using some kind of psp emulator app... I think they will do their best to have it only work on the play... I'm just hoping somebody will be able to bypass that.

Still fun, though.

How'd you come up with number to debrand?
[Focus General] wspaw:
Oh, yeah...

Can anyone think of a compelling reason to re-brand after the installation (other than warranty, of course)?
[Focus General] asiancuta:
as much as i would love to have this update..i think i'll hold out and wait for the official release. there's gotta be a reason they've held back the update in "testing" phase (M$ website), for the Samsung Focus. possibly adjustments and tests for minimal battery usage to maintain optimal battery life, samsung focus hardware related tweaks and issue fixes, we don't know if this will cause overheating if left plugged in for charging since this hack update is fresh and new and hasn't been fully tested by the users. there's just too many minor things not considered in WHY this hasn't been officially released yet. and i'd rather not run into forum posts and articles of Samsung Focus owners having phone melt downs or issues that won't be reversible since there is no original ROM to flash back to.
[Focus General] FL5:
Also, sunshine gives you cancer. Better avoid that, too, just in case.

Seriously though, this update has been cleared by Microsoft and is being rolled-out worldwide. The reason for the delay is that AT&T likes blocking updates, because even the remote potential of a customer having a problem and then having to call customer service (which costs AT&T) outweighs the potential benefit to customers (which doesn't make AT&T any more money).

The update process creates a backup of your phone that you can roll back to if the update doesn't work. I know, because I watched it do it. Annoyingly slow at it, though.
[Focus General] cgrizz:

[Focus General] djca:
Got Nodo on my Focus. I don't see any change in firmware version number so I'm not sure if Samsung Focus-specific fixes have been applied.

BTW, does anybody know if a hard reset on a pre-Nodo or Nodo Focus would retain the updated OS or will it revert to factory OS version?
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
It's supposed to be 000-88
[Focus General] halfevildruid:
my att focus is pulling nodo as we speak... branding to 000-88 worked like a charm

(chev unlocked to 7008 first)
[Focus General] liquidiq:
Kinda a PITA, but it does work! Updating my AT&T Focus now.
[Focus General] paschott:
Hard reset should revert to an empty device with whatever software rev you were running. You should be able to restore a backup to downgrade.

Not sure on the firmware side, though I'd be curious about that as well. If there's supposed to be some sort of firmware fix that lets us update more easily in the future and this workaround doesn't deliver that, I'd likely want to revert in order to get that.

Really wish MS had kept those separate. Let the carriers schedule their own app updates and let OEMs schedule their firmware updates. Keep those out of the OS release cycle unless the timing coincides. :(
[Focus General] uwbadgers16:
I updated to Nodo and performed a hard reset. The update was retained through the hard reset, so feel free.
[Focus General] halfevildruid:
Hklm not hkcu
[Focus General] asiancuta:
ok so i retract my previous worry and doubt statement, since everyone has had a successful issue free update. i took the dive and updated from complete stock. installing the developer software actually took longer than the whole chevron/unbranding/zune tricking process. i first tried the wifi method but had no luck. 3rd attempt disconnecting the data connection after 50 secs...BAM..update March 2011 Nodo.

I guess it's like my old HTC Aria (android)...gotta give ATT the finger and hit up XDA and do the updating yourself. thank goodness for XDA
[Focus General] karlospr:
Did have to do the timing thing, close and reopen zune and BAM!!! update notification was there. Maybe it was luck!
[Focus General] asiancuta:
so now apparently ATT is giving MS a heads up on when testing will be done so they can inform us...

http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-gives-ATT-users-some-hope-nodo

**testing will be done by early April 2011 apparently

apparently ATT doesn't keep up with the tech news and seen we found a way to get it without their "approval"

i still would like to know KNOW what the hell they're "testing".

[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
When you removed your media did you use the "Erase All Content" thing using the Sync settings for your phone in Zune?
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
I had that same problem. I had to reset my phone to get it work.
[Focus General] Doinshots:
I did not. I only manually removed media. That will reset my phone to factory, no?
[Focus General] Doinshots:
I was afraid of that. I will try that now.
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
If you go to settings>about and use reset; that will factory reset. That's what I had to do even after removing all apps, music, and pictures manually.

I don't see the need for the VPN Dialup method or the Timing method... I jut unbranded my Focus and pluged it in with Zune. The Pre-NoDo update showed up and I installed it. After installing Pre-NoDo I pluged my Focus back into my computer. NoDo showed up and installed with absolutely no problem without doing anything special.

[Focus General] c_h0use:
I'm on AT&T which is supposedly still "testing" NoDo.
[Focus General] Pinger43:
AT&T Focus here also and like you once I debranded it I updated and never rebranded, just left it blank.. My thinking is it's ready to go when other updates get released(hopefully Mango will be released earlier then reported lol) then I can just rebrand my phone to whoever gets the update first (Rogers, Orange UK, SFR (France) ect...). Let's face it AT&T US will always be the last to release any updates for they much rather let somebody else be their guenea pigs.. Pretty lousy for their customers (me included) to always be last.. But thanks to groups like XDA Developers I won't have to be :)
[Focus General] Jim Haynes:
Ran the update and it worked fine for my Samsung Focus on ATT:

1) Paid Microsoft to have phone developer unlocked

2) Used the SamsungRegistry.xap file to change my setting from ATT-US to 000-88 as instructed

3) Restarted the phone and connected it to Zune and the pre-NoDo update went through

4) Then the March 2011 update went through and I am now at Build 7390

Was at build 7004 previously.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rmuswell:
EDIT - Not sure how I missed the post below - Sorry.... Help with second point would be much appreciated though]

Don't panic, I don't actually want to go back to WM6.5 just yet :-P

Huge apologies if this has already been answered, I did have a little hunt, but couldn't find a direct clarification of my question.

Firstly, WOW, it's incredible the amount of work you have all done to get Android running on the HD2, and I am an instant convert.

I am currently using the Rafdroid SD ROM which is working well for me, but it can sometimes be a little bit on the slow side (I'm assuming that this is due to it being an SD boot rather than NAND) and I've noticed that the battery life is acutely painful.

Two questions:

[EDIT - Have just seen this bit answered in the thread below... DOH]

1) If I 'make the plunge' and flash Android onto my HD2 is it possible to use one of HTC roms (from the website direct) to restore WM6.5 - i.e if i don't like or screw it up (latter more likely) can I get it back to the T-Mobile (UK) latest ROM?

2) Will the battery life and speed be better when it's a NAND installation? - I know that it's ROM dependent, I'm looking at the HyperDroid GBX ROM, but I really don't know much about any of the ROMs. Does anyone have any suggestions (not that it's that easy to suggest for others) - primarily it's for use with a Microsoft Exchange Server (if that changes anything).

Thank you so much in advanced for your help!

Rich
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
1. If you will use Nand Android, you must firstly flash/install SPL 2.08HSPL. When you want to go back to Winmo, you can always do it via SD card method. You can flash Winmo ROM from boot loader.

2. Battery consumption is still the same, I think. It may depend on the rom version.

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
battery comsumption in a nand build is way better. Atleast in my experience.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XthelordinatorX:
yea in NAND my battery consumpion is WAY better.

maybe not all builds but i'm sure the hyperdroid GBX should be also ;)

[EVO 4G General] vWvSTATICvWv:
O-k so I went to pay my bill today @ a REAL Sprint Store and asked one of the workers to explain this new SP Gold/Silver tier stuff. He looked up my acct. and saw I was due for an upgrade Jun 1 2011(mind you I jumped ship to Sprint launch day of EvO4G). So I asked him if that's gone bc of this new policy. He said, no, that I still will get my $150 off my next phone starting June 1st. He said that whoever already has an upgrade on their acct. whether that be $75 or $150 will still be honored for their upgrade. He said to change that would be unethical and would cause an uproar with customers. He then told me that once I use that upgrade, then I have to wait 16/22 months respectively, before I'm eligible for another upgrade.

Hopefully this clears up some things for people who have been freaking out over this. ;)

i burnt my upgrade for my daughters shift in fact i was told i did the smart thing buy burning my upgrade ( im the primary ) or i would have lost it
[EVO 4G General] vWvSTATICvWv:
It makes sense. Say you look @ your acct right now and it says I dunno...May 3rd you're entitled to $150 off your next phone. Imagine if that magically disappeared and a big F*** YOU was now on your acct in place. People would flip out!! The guy told me they just had started training specifically to answer these questions for SP customers. I guess we will see :rolleyes:

Yea hate to say it, but he lied to you (or he's just stupid). Either way, you arent getting your upgrade after april 1st.

But then again, if you really want to try, go back to that store, have that guy print out a sheet of paper, or write on paper, that says you WILL get your upgrade on that date, and have him SIGN IT. That way you will have SOME leverage come June. It may not work, but its worth a shot.

[EVO 4G General] shagav:
well there is a loop hole. You can change your phone plan from the $69.99 to the next one up and keep that for the 3-6 months or whatever it is and you will be changed to gold. So basically, a couple months before you know you are due for your 1 year, switch your account and then reap the benefits of getting a new phone. Once you get that new phone, switch back to your original plan...eh...eh...

Anyone else think that will work?
[EVO 4G General] mylasthope:
Yes, this will work. This is actually what a couple of Sprint customer service employees suggested I do. I've already upgraded my plan to the ED 3000. Now I just have to wait 90 days and hope I can get the phone through wirefly and downgrade to the 1500 at the same time (anyone know if I can do this). I know wirefly has something about not changing your plan for 6 months after getting the phone. If I can't do that, I'll probably just buy it through Sprint; wirefly's additional ETF scares me. Haha.
