I've been considering getting an hd2 for awhile, I just don't know what to do though, I'll miss my vibrant like crazy, one of the main reasons I'll miss my vibe is because I wouldn't have a clue how to flash roms on the hd2..
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Almost like a ghosting effect. Mainly noticeable on white text scrolling on a dark background. Not a huge deal, but was definitely there on both HD2 and HD7.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
I got mine with Android ROM so it was easy. with original windows, you have to flash radio, spl, and bootloader. after that its easy, and pretty much the same as Vibrant, flash the same clockwork recovery and flash Rom of your choice.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I will glady help you flash roms on the Hd2.

It may seem complicated, but most of it is done through the computer. DFT's executables are very simple to operate. And unless you flash the wrong radio or mess up the bootloader, the phone is impossible to brick, partly thanks to the ability to flash through the computer (kind of like odin).
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
battery lasted 9 hours of pretty heavy use in 3g area with brightness set to auto....mostly playing and browsing the net, not much talk time or gps. also right now and at least in Miui, I can't change settings for light sensor (its a bug or something) and stock brightness is pretty high. Ones thats fixed, I bet it will greatly help the battery.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Also, once you get clockwork on there, it wont be so different.
[Vibrant General] azzzz:
april fools? haha just playing

I came from an HD2 to a Vibrant. Gave the HD2 to my brother (android virgin). I love the screen size and the ease of running multiple roms on it but speaker and camera annoys the heck out of me. Funny though because I don't even use GPS that much and barely take picture but those are some things I NEED to have in a phone.

ANyway, good luck with your new phone. I am a bit jealous of not being able to run GB w/ gps my vibrant but it makes up in other area.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I'm actually considering this trade also. I know no ones gonna miss me, but that dual led flash, 4.3 inch screen, and development is getting to me! :/
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
don't forget LED :-)
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Seriously, what was Samsung thinking leaving out the flash? Still amazes me that an otherwise awesome phone could lack such a standard feature.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Samsung never did anything good for us.

Ok ok, except for the samoled screen.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Trading for one tomorrow.. I still get that feeling of "I'm downgrading"
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I honestly wouldn't trade for one I'd just buy one off Craigslist their not that expensive ...
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I would also suggest this one, you've got nothing to lose when you keep your vibrant and just buy an hd2(except for the money).
[Vibrant General] :
Same!

I want to pick up a hd2 as well.....but as said before the reasons above

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I had a hd2 and vibrant at the same time. Although the hd2 has some benefits, I sold it and kept the vibrant. Just wasn't my thing.
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
I wouldn't trade my vibrant for an hd2. I bought my hd2 locally from a car forum for $150.

Mon, tue, wed, thursday I use my vibrant, the other days I switch my sim card into the hd2.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
hd2 is like the "not so scared to brick phone" unlike the vibrant. lol
[Vibrant General] :
I would do this if I actually have the $ to do this :(
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The prices on CL here have been driven up. In fact, the minute people started finding out about how you can put WP7 on an HD2, the average price went up to about $250 here, and I ended all potential sales and relisted mine. I got a few offers for $275 but I'm too lazy to drive 30 min to sale, and since I don't really need the money /shrugs/

Prolly end up putting it in the Garbage bin in the future.

I prefer WM Sense to Android Sense/TouchWiz, personally.

Another thing (Aside from Flash) that the HD2/HD7 has is an LED Notification Light, as well.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
I'm getting one today, could you help me?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:

[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
That's for sure!
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
No problem. Just PM me if you have any questions. The noob stickied guides on should assist you through most of it though.

As a warning though, DO NOT FLASH ANY RADIO ENDING IN .51! IT WILL BE A PERMABRICK!
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Hmm should I install wp7 or android Ahh I love the possibilities
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I am experimenting with WP7 to get a little break from flashing. The system is very stable and battery drain is fine after 3 or 4 days. The only bugs I can see are multitouch issues really.

Android on the other hand runs just as well as the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
So do you think it's worth it? Trading I mean.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I am personally completely satisfied with my trade. If you want the best Android experience, then stick with the Vibrant or change to a G2 or Nexus S. However, the HD2 will perform a little better than stock G2 with nand customs roms, but does not compare to a modded one or a modded Vibrant. However, that is with NAND, some roms use RAM for running the rom which just turbo boosts everything. Also, you will get the ability to try out WP7.

So, sure, go for it. I personally do not miss Super Amoled much and the 4.3 inch screen makes a large difference when web browsing or navigation in general. The only downgrade is the GPU and the speakers, but then again I don't play games on my phone much.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Heres my new deal! Okay someone wants to trade me an hd2 with nand android plus $50 for my Vibrant

What do you think?
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Not bad. I got 75 cash plus HD2 though, but I had to flash android on it.
[Vibrant General] wendellc:
Gave my hd2 to my son and using vibrant. I love the screen size on hd2 but samoled is superior. I also thought i would miss screen size but content with the beautiful screen on vibrant.

Pongster Hyperdroid is what i ran, either GBX or cm7. Mh son currently has miui.

Definitely getting a sgsII
[Vibrant General] ravigodhwani:
is the hd7 as versatile as the hd2? i think the hd7 looks awesome and if it's near as compatible with everything the hd2 is it might be a good buy
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Not at the moment. Only runs Windows Phone 7. Definitely sub-par in build quality compared to the HD2 as well (but not terrible by any means).
[Vibrant General] :
Do you ha e the pho.e yet? Wabt to know if its worth it. I have another deal with mytouch 4g. Dont know which to decide
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Scratch that! http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/04/06/video-hackers-kick-windows-phone-7-off-the-htc-hd7-replace-it-with-android/

Unreal.
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
no rom development for the vibrant? someone's smoking crack..
[Vibrant General] :
Just swapped vibrant for mytouch 4g.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
How do you like the mytouch? Any difference on CM7 compared to current mods on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] :
I just saw they have miui conplete and cm7. Still havent flashed anything yet. Loving it though.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
So I got my hd2, and its okay, you can definitely tell the screen resolution is different, and vibrants battery life is way better, still trying to figure things out, but I'm 100% sure I'll be back.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Battery depends on the Rom. I haven't really measured before, but today for example I got about 10 hours of heavy use....9.5 hours and 20% left. This is first day on this Rom. I usually get about the same on vibrant. This is with all syncs enabled.

Tried many Roms. Miui, cm7, old sense, new sense....haven't tried sense with gingerbread because they are still buggy. Cm7 roms are fast and battery is good, but very ugly. Miui rom is the first gingerbread rom so its a bit buggy too....very small but annoying to me bugs. Right now I am on new sense rom and I doubt I will ever go back to anything else. I don't like sense widgets or launcher, that's why I am using launcher pro plus , but apps are fantastic. News, dialer, Facebook integration, sms client, exchange email, browser, some usefully built in options, cool copy/paste.......etc. can wait for good gingerbread sense port !

Ps. I am using sense lite version. And GPS status fixed my GPS lock issue.

EDIT: 2nd charge, moderate use, brightness on AUTO (was always on MIn on my Vibrant). so far 13 hours and 25% still to go.....I am impressed considering battery in HD2 is 1230 vs 1500 in Vibrant. The most I got on my V was about 14 hours.....
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Lol I'm using Ultimate droid on it right now, and it's pretty fast, and I'm enjoying it, but I'll be enjoying my Vibrant again around noon ;]

Sold the hd2 on Craigslist :D
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
BTW. You also get access to free HTC store from phone. It's has widgets, few app, wallpapers and ringtones. DLNA is also there

And almost forgot.....think there is a bug with radio on these phones with Android and in some phone calls incall voices are a bit distorted. So I would not recommend this phone to people that use phone mostly for voice calls.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhFjhJemQFQ
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
There is definitely something wrong with Vibrant battery (Touchwiz battery leak or whatever). The most I got with my Vibrant with brightness set to 0% (and semi-black background wall) was like 14-16 hours max. I use HD2 with brightness set to 10% or AUTO and now I have 16 hours with 40% of battery left. And battery itself is 18% smaller....

I thought SAMOLED was battery saver vs LCD :confused:
[Vibrant General] hd2life:
I am going the other way, from HD2 to Vibrant. HD2 is a great phone but after my screen died from no apparent reason its to risky getting another one. Too many options are not always the best way to go, i will enjoy not having the urge to update every time i see a new rom.
[Vibrant General] regP:
I put MIUI on my gfs mytouch4g and its freakin butter. Everything works. Never thought I'd be jealous of HER phone lol...
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Good for you. I never thought that flashing would become one of my hobbies. :D
[Blade General] gromit83:
Hi. I have a Blade here where the kids have installed the lost phone app from market and basically locked the phone with a random password. Oh well. That stuff happens.

Plan was basically simple:

Install clockwork recovery

wipe userdata

no more Lost Phone app

All the guides for this phone says volume up(+) and power on after you have taken out the battery, gets it in bootloadermode for fastboot to do its magic.

Then I hit a snag... This is a brand new Blade bought in Norway and I can't get this to work. Read something about on Modaco that new Blades from february '11 don't work with that key combo.

Any other advice to get that hellish Lost Phone app off the phone?

EDIT: Persistance pays off. You are able to make a keypress every once in a while when you press the back button. Doing so I was able to allow unsigned apps, turn on USB debug mode, copy files to the SD card, install zroot to do a temproot. Install recoverymanager and finally clockwork recovery. Turned off the phone and with volume down + power booted into Clockwork. Wiped userdata and cache. Home free!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingShrapnel:
I flashed this gingerbread ROM here, with radio 2.22.28.25 and hboot-1.00.0013d

It runs pretty well, no crashes or anything so far but after running an application and then returning to home, its really slow and has to reload home.

i typed "free" into terminal and i got back that swap was

something like this:

swap 0 0 0

is there a way to enable swap, i read on the ROM thread that you can enable it by using FR's patch??

and is this ROM compatible with one of those extra ram kernels?

Thanks for reading :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pl4sMa:
Have you tried the following?

swapon /dev/block/mmc*

Assuming ofc that you already partitioned your micro-sd accordingly.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingShrapnel:
just tried it in terminal, with su as well, it says "invalid argument"??

yes. you can use ezterry's extra ram kernel
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jgrimberg1979:
I am willing to pay $50 to anyone who can develop a theme porting program for windows that is catered to the thunderbolt. I know there is the program called theme Porter and theme porter .3 which is usueful but I am looking for something that is more specific to the thunderbolt so that I may port a evo, desire hd, and another other hd plateform based theme to the thunderbolt with ease and accuracy. There may be something that is out there that is similar to what I am looking for but I haven't found it and trust me I have searched and searched but I am empty handed. Droid x has a porting program called "wug" which is nice but it is only for the droid x. Anyways I am willing to pay the money since I love themeing my phone and it is extremely time consuming to create one from scratch, and there aren't enough themes catered to one specific device. Hope someone has sonething !

HTC Thunderbolt

s-off rooted

VirusROM RC1B2
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mbh87:
It would be pointless to write up another program when theme porter does anything another porter will anyways.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jgrimberg1979:
I think someone out there could come up with something a little better, with some more options. wug is a good example of this. Anyways theme porter is a great script but its old and I am sure someone could come up with something. Dont get me wrong theme porter is nice and the dev who made it deserves alot of credit for his or her work
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mbh87:
What does Wug do that theme porter doesnt? All wug is, is a bloated theme porter. They both do the exact same thing.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jgrimberg1979:
Yes i see that now. One thing is that it is much more user friendly, you dont have to use a seperate script to make update.zip as well as some other nice features. Anyways again I am sure someone out there could come up with something, I am guessing it wont be you but if anyone does I am willing to pay.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hauntedchild:
Looking for some advice/help. I got my wife the Evo Shift a couple of weeks ago. Her phone has not been rooted and other than a few added apps the phone is completely stock. The phone reboots on her 4 and 5 times a day. She does not have any kind of task killer installed so that's not it. She plays Angry Birds a lot and uses Pandora quite a bit. I have also installed Sound Manager for her. Other than that I can't think of anything that would be helpful for trouble shooting. I have searched here and through Google and have not seen any info of others having this problem. I am not sure if I should root the thing or return it to best buy. I have the Evo and previously the Hero and am no stranger to rooting or custom ROMs. Just really did not see the need to root it since my wife has no idea about any of that. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
root and install nfinitefx's or mik's rom; you'll have less trouble than if it was stock.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hauntedchild:
That's what I was thinking. I am a little worried its a hardware problem though. I guess I could always flash back to stock and return it if that doesn't fix it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
hell return it ya got nothing to lose but a headache ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Did you try a factory reset?
[EVO Shift 4G General] hauntedchild:
Not yet. I did get some more info from my wife though. It only happens when she is at work. And she says she get some sort of "radio error". I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the building she is in. She had my hero for a couple months before I got her the shift and had no problems. It had CM 6.1 running though.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
im running mine stock and rooted and dont have any problems with reboots. sounds like a app is probably screwing something up
[EVO Shift 4G General] warstoke:
i had a similar problem with one of the streaming media apps i used to use a month or so ago i cant remember the name but for some reason if i lost signal it would crash the phone and need to be rebooted

i took it off and installed tuneinradio and it worked better anyways
[EVO Shift 4G General] SoundwaveRumble:
My shift was rebooting itself 3 to 4 times a day, I just rooted it and it seemed to stop rebooting itself for a day. Now its starting to reboot itself again, but not as often.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hauntedchild:
I am almost convinced its a hardware problem. Sounds too rare to be anything else. Maybe bad memory or something.
[EVO Shift 4G General] finalhit:
I had a freezing issue with my phone which people suggested possible due to pandora and bluetooth. Perhaps you have the same issue?

Anyway, try to find "bluetooth for automotive" settings for pandora and turn it off.

I wouldn't recommend rooting your phone if you think its broken. You might just end up breaking it further and render your warranty void.

If you can't fix it, get sprint to replace it.

i dont need a signature
[EVO Shift 4G General] Michael61182:
This may be resolved by now, but I got my shift previously used. When I first activated it, I was getting some radio errors and I could not make calls or send sms messages, but the email worked fine. I contacted Sprint customer service via chat from the website and they did something from their end to fix it. I had to turn off my phone and she said now wait till I tell you to turn it back on. I waited 5 minutes and when I turned it back on, everything was fine. So I would take it in or contact Sprint and see what they say. As for not sure if you wanna root it for her, I would definitely recommened it, she doesn't have to take advantage of all the advanced tweak that some use but it will just make the phone a lot smoother and easier to use. IMHO.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hauntedchild:
Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go ahead and root it. After keeping an eye on the situation its seems its only happening when she is at work. I can't imagine it will fix it but I think its worth a shot.
[EVO Shift 4G General] SoundwaveRumble:
I think I fixed mine. I tried to use navigation and it kept force closing, that was strange because I've used it before with no problems. I googled around and found some info that if you had another text to speak engine in your phone then uninstalled it without setting it back to pico as default it would cause nav to FC, which is what I had done. So I set it back and checked "Always use my settings" in the Voice section of settings, nav started working and the reboot issue went away for the past 7 days.

I don't really know crap about phones and most tech stuff for that matter (heck 99% of what is said in these forums goes over my head) but I think why this fixed it is either nav or some app was trying to use pico or something and when it couldn't the phone would get an error and reboot itself. I may be wrong (probably am) but maybe she deleted something or changed a setting some app needs and that is causing her problem. Hope this helps in someway or at least gives you another direction to start checking.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Is there a way to stream music that's stored on my android phone on my xoom? I tried connecting via bluetooth and it pairs but wont connect to my mytouch 4g.

Is there another way to do it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
anyone??..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
According to specs, Xoom supports DLNA, so it should be possible. Try Twonky, in fact I will give it a try also.

Edit: it seems that Twonky doesn't work on xoom
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
OK, I found a way to stream music from my DHD to Xoom.

You need Twonky mobile on your phone and 2player on your Xoom. Also works with windows 7 media server. Unfortunately 2player can only play audio.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
Hi !

I noticed that the travel adaptater sold with the device is emiting an electric noise when it's plugged on power supply but not on the phone. I don't know if I'm clear. It's making an electric crackling noise when the adaptater is plugged with no phone on it.

I'm quite worried by it, as it might damage the phone (?). So I need to know if something's wrong with my adaptater or if it's "normal".

Thx.
[LG Optimus 2x] kencheung2008:
I have the same problem. Thus, I use a non-official adapter instead and it is silence.

imagine when u charge the phone when sleeping, that's annoying.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
If preventing me from sleeping is the only problem, I'm okay. If it fries the phone, or reduce batery life, I'm much less okay...

Thx for your answer though.
[LG Optimus 2x] FEARME:
For me too, adapter is making a high pitch sound.

And when just plugged in it makes a buzzing sound.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
Okay, well it seems "normal" then... I found a woman on a french forum that does not have the problem though, among three other people that have it...
[LG Optimus 2x] ZajacPL:
My adapter is quiet and doesn't make any sound...
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
It might depend on your localization, as the power input may change (output should be the same) ?

I'm in France, and here are the specs :

- Model : STA-U13EV

- Input range : 100-240V, but we've got 220V in France, might change depending on the country

The rest should be the same for everybody (50/60Hz, 0.16A...)
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
How about unplugging the charger when you don't use it ?!

Will save you some cash also. Chargers consume power, even if they do not charge anything.

If I fully discharge my Nokia phones, the charger emits some noise for the first few seconds also.

In general, it is nothing to worry about as soon as your phone charges fine.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] svenk919:
Recently the n64 andoid emu got pulled from the android market. And from what I know that version didn't support the analog input and could only be played with the d-pad and buttons. This was said in a dutch preview serie.

Does anyone know if there is a version that allows to use the analog controlls?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] neptune:
having been going through many games and apps and haven't found the d-pad and analog to be supported well.... something that definitely needs to be addressed by SE
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] svenk919:
SE can't do much about it, it's in the hands of the devs. Emu's probably have button mapping options you can use.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xdaman85:
It's nothing to do with SE, it's up to the devs whether they want to use the API to update their applications to support the dual touch pads.

I guess it's only a matter of time.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rmaccamr:
I'm sure there will be several emerging developers for the XP. Even so, its an opportunity for already existing developers to rerelease their software at a premium for analog support.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sneakysolidbake:
Good god I hope not. Thats an awful idea. Everyone else gets to use the free emulators and XP users can't make use of their hardware unless they pay for the app?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
I dont have one yet so I dont know, but can the touchpads be used as an input method? Then there is hope for analog support. Maybe with a special IME or something.

Its pretty easy for a developer to optimize their games...
