[Blade General] shad0wboss:
I know that san francisco has got 2.1 eclair rom which is relatively slow compared to froyo. I mean really slow + froyo allows the user to install apps on sd which is a big advantage when you only got 1xx mb internal memory. So i would like to ask that is there a way to revert back to official rom (2.1) when the official update comes or once you install custom 2.2 rom, there's no turning back.

I used to own other android phones and what i know is that some roms are non downgradable, is it the same case with san franciscon? or you can just flash 2.1 official rom over 2.2 custom rom whenever you want? or do you have to keep nand backup and all that?

EDIT: my bad, please move it to general section !
[Blade General] digital0:
Yes, you can flash 2.1 back whenever you want, unless you upgraded your phone from gen1 to gen2.
[Blade General] shad0wboss:
am i missing something? what's gen1 and gen2?
[Blade General] digital0:
gen2 are phones which came with 2.2 preinstalled. You can upgrade gen1 to gen2 (there are instructions on modaco forums).
[Blade General] jamidodger1:
But you can't get back to GEN1 afterwards (you can but it messes IMEI up) And only a little selection of ROM's work On GEN2

Hello good day to everybody

I'm using a MT3G with no audio Jack. Where I live HTC is a very rare brand. It's not likely to find accessories specific to the brand.

I just purchased a generic USB to minijack cable only to find that it doesn't work. The phone doesn't detect the headphones.

I downloaded somewhere an app called sound route or something like that. It didn't work but I think it's something there.

Do you know about a way to route the sound like, by force through the USB? Command line things or maybe even the manual. I don't know, something :-)

My USB cable has 4 pins.

Thank you for your attention :-D

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic
[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling :)
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.
[EVO 4G General] galaxywhat?:

[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:

[EVO 4G General] SouthPhilly:
Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.

As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.

It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.

They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

Does anyone know of a solution to recover corrupt imei on galaxy tab?

Hello Everyone.

TBH im my opinion you guys are my last hope to fixing my hd2.

So here's the problem.

I have a HD2 that turns on but does not have a functioning touc screen.

ABOUT MY PHONE:

HTS HD2

Has old android in it ( I dont know which one it is, but i can describe it. It starts up with a BootLoader asking to boot android, so i have the option to press yes or no. It has old blue theme in the background.

Here's the problem. I've called HTC support and i learn my phone still has manufacturers warranty. So basically i can just send in the phone, and ill id have to pay is shipping. BUT! here's the problem. HTC does not approve of third party software installed in the phone, in my case it is the ANDROID. So now im trying to wipe android put, and install windows mobile again. I downloaded the t-mobile stock rom and when i plug in my phone, the windows mobile center automatically pops out but it shows an error symbol.

TL;DR

So my question to you guys is how do i remove Android and install Windows Mobile on an HTC HD2 with a non working screen

Thank you so much guys for even considering to help me :)

Mod if i posted on the wrong section could you please move it for me.

Thanks

I went ahead and downoaded the HSPL3

I turned on my phone and also pressing the voulme down button which brought to me to a red green and white color. I had my phon conneceted to the computer VIA USB. I first double clicked the T-Mobile rom update thingy and went ahead accpeted the warning signs etc,so the first thing that came up was identifying phone, and after 5 seconds it disappears so nothing came fro that, then later i double clicked the HSPL3 which asked me to either pick the 2.8 or the the 2.8 spl i believe, i had the spl installed so i wen ahead clicked the 2.8. it installed and my phone rbooted and BAM my touch screen worked, and when it asked to boot android i pressed NO. my phone rebooted and iagain the boot loader came up and asked to bott android, so this time i pressed BUt it didnt work because the touch screen stopped working!

So i went ahead to try everything all over but this time i clicked the 2.8 spl and after a minute on my phone it displayed " we hacked it" etc etc etc, i robooted my phone, ad it worked, i turned it on and off twice and it worked i was using my phone after a month :D So after playing with it alittle bit i decided to put my sim card in it.

On my A101 with the 2.1.08 firmware, the main reason I bothered to root with Archangel was to use Titanium Backup. This program works flawlessly on my (rooted) Evo 4G. On my tablet, after running Archangel, TB looks like it's running, and backing everything up - no errors.

I had to RMA my tablet because of the USB/Sleep problem, and I thought I was good to go because I had a backup.

It turns out most/all of the backup files are empty. Restoring them either does nothing at all, or restarts the launcher.

Has anybody confirmed a successful restore using TB on an Archangel-rooted Gen8 device?

Just thought I'd put this out there for anybody assuming their TB backups are good. I'm about to try MyBackup.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdl1908:
Yes thats correct. The first thing to do when installing titanium backup is selecting the "Problems" button to install a good busybox.

It works perfectly after that even with archangel root.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
Can be very wonky at times. When the two points are directly beside or above/below each other on the x or y axis it seems to lose tracking of both points most of the time.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aNiMeMaN14:
I don't believe the G-Tablet multitouch is as good as people say it is. My girlfriend had purchased Glow Hockey 2 on my tablet because she wanted to play air hockey against me, only to find that when two points on the screen are touched, the accuracy and responsiveness of the touches drop nearly 75%. It's a shame too, as that game looks to be a sure-fire hit with tablet devices.

I'm pretty sure that it is a hardware limitation, not a software limitation that can be fixed with re-flashing or calibration.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slsmag:
have you calibrated your screen ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
Yup, responsiveness is great. Multitouch leaves a bit to be desired.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
I can confirm this problem on my tab, with all rom's except the TnT ones (never tried them). Using multitouchvisualizer app from the market you can see that the screen will not register 2 points immediately when they have the same x (horizontal line) or the same y (vertical line). The problem is definitely better after calibrating the screen (doesnt take as long to register the second point), but the problem persists and leaves something to be desired for this multitouch screen. When pinch to zoom is at an angle to vertical or horizontal, its perfect. If pinching on the horizontal or vertical axis, there is lag.

Normally this doesn't matter because you can just pinch-to-zoom on an angle, but when playing games like cordy or jetcarstunts, where buttons are aligned horizontally, the second tap sometimes isn't recognized immediately. Its somewhat nit-picky, but there are many other touch screens where this is not a problem.

Make sure that you have the proper permissions files available. If you are missing the "Multitouch Distinct" XML file then it doesn't work properly...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
epic is only good rooted with roms flashed, maybe they say that about the captivate but the epic is worse. the launcher sux and cant have the icons changed. you can fix that with launcher pro but then keys and some widgets dont work so to update you need to switch launchers back. the mesaging app sux, it doesnt have the ability to multi select contacts like the other galaxy s phones. and you are getting basically the same phone as the captivate plus a ffc which i find useless because sprints network sux too much to video call. even there 4g if you find an area that has it is nothing special. rarely does it actually beat att's 3g in real world performance. that's if you can find a location that has wimax.

ok so the epic has a camera flash and a keyboard. the keyboard might be nice for games if that is important to you but the thing is just big. plus there are few situations that you need a camera flash and a led flash is enough to be effective.

with the right modem and kernel the captivate has the best call quality out of any phone i have ever owned period! i suggest the kc1 modem and speedmod of similar kernel on a ported rom of your choice. for that reason i will not recomend the inspire though the inspire specs out very nice and has comperable performance. i think it is a lesser phone in talk quality and build quality, but if camera flash and screen size and hspa+ are important by all means get one.

not sure about the quantum what is it?

i5? really on an androidforum? are you trying to get flamed? well apple has some high quality hardware/build quality but the iphone4 had a few mistakes like glass on both sides that is prone to breakage do to microscratches on the edges from using a mandatory case that prevents antenna issues. some of there efforts are too little too late and they still have a very limited os. untill they have some form of live homescreen applications i wouldn't. ios can support as some stock apps have live icons to show missed call quantity or unread messages, i also think the calandar icon shows date and folders show the contents. but steave jobs must not think it is important to the users. the ui gets cluttered untill you manually organize apps into folders. and the funny thing about note and reminders is you have to remember to read them or set alarms, i never set alarm because i never here them, so id rather have them stare me in the face in a widget so i can see it multiple times before it is etched into my memory. i need widgets or a smart phone is not worth haveing. f@ck apple and steve jobs idea of a ui. iphones suck and macs suck harder!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Epic 4g is same as captivate with CDMA and slide keyboard...so its more of Sprint versus Att.

LG quantum is WP7, so its your to choose between OS...everyone here (including me) will tell you to opt for Android as its awesome...WP7 is behind android in terms of development..may be after another couple of year I would consider WP7 (if it survives till then), till then Android rocks
