That I know of they can't, what problems are you dealing with on your phone that you need to call them? the reason I ask is because they might be rom specific problems
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
Well, since new on any extended network areas, data and incoming calls are fine. Calling out I get a prerecorded message saying Please reenter the 10 digit number you are trying to dial, do not hit send. Sometimes that work maybe 50/50. They warrantied the phone about 2 weeks ago, same thing. Last night on the phone they offered me a $100 trade in credit on my inc for any recertified phone.... but its droidx, droid pro, or samsung fascinate. I'm not impressed with any of em. Been tons of roms and the 7.28, 9.01. and 11.XX radio, all the same. Verizon TS from a payphone last night couldn't even see my phone on the network, but they swear theres nothing wrong. i was temptedn, but root the dtock rom so I can switch back and forth as needed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
Sorry to hear, I hope everything works out great. I guess to see if their suggestions work maybe you can try returning your phone back to stock, I don't think it would hurt.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
I hope it does too, but this has been ongoing since we got the incredibles when they first came out... VERY frustrating
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azag Thoth:
wow, i really wonder how much their tech department really knows, seems like they have many problems they can not figure out. my wife and i just got two dinc's through verizon about 3 months ago, mine is fine and have had zero issues, but my wife's is a whole different story.

notice hers would stop getting text and phone calls a few times a day. we would be in the middle of a conversation(text that is) and she would just stop receiving my texts, i would still get hers, and i would try and call and it would ring normally on my end and go to her voice mail. She would not be getting anything on her end, until sometime later they would all flood in at once.

well this was happening almost from day one, her phone was stock, then i rooted it and tried different roms and kernels and still same issue. well i have called verizon and talked to techs on at least 5 different occasions, and they have completely replaced her phone with a newer Dinc, yet same problem persist! it is in my opinion that the problem would have to be on their end of it,since two phones in a row are doing this, and mine on the same account in the same area does not do it. i am getting ready to call again today when my wife gets home from work, oh yea it sunday not sure if they in so maybe tomorrow. but this is ridiculousness, they just keep having me go through settings and resetting phone to factory and all that, i just can not see it being the phone at this point, but they are convinced it is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
Tech support level 2 has the network team looking at my call log. They are supposed to call me Mon. evening to let me know the results. They also offered me a hundred dollar credit on any recertified phone. I'm just not impressed with any of those phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
Ok, sort of decided to try a different phone. Any opinions of droid x, the fascinate, about any non htc phones would be nice. Leaning towards the X since it seems to have a huge dev base here also.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
The moto phones have locked bootloaders meaning limited customization if that's an issue for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucluglee:
Having "friends" that work for VZW, I really don't think 1st level support can look and see if you are rooted or not. I do, however, think that level "3" and up support can tell. I know they have the means in place to start monitoring what phones receive updates and what phones do not update. I also don't think they are going to worry about the DIncs, but they may focus more of the newer 4G phones that have been rooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
OK, verizon is insane. They are under the impression I'm trading in my inc under their advice for 100 bux towards another model phone at full retail price. That is SO not happening. I did find this thread http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ne-can-help-me-reprogram-a-flashed-Incredible

last night. If that information is correct for the settings I think thats at least part of my issues. Can anyone confirm those are correct? My wife is about 800 miles from me with her inc for me to just look and see. US Cellular is sounding more and more inviting this week.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
Talked to a person at home last night on craigslist. Wants to swap his 6 week old droid X for my incredible. Verizon didn't care but said it wouldn't be insurable. Assurion said sure no problem. I love consistently wrong answers
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
And has anybody here had experience swapping? Besides phone condition and bad ESN anything to be on the lookout for?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I bought my Incredible used, then sold my D2. Motorola build quality is good but I had their UI and locked bootloaders. As far as I know, when you get a used phone, you don't get the manufacturer's warranty but you should be able to insure it. Condition and ESN/MEID are the main things to look out for.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i8qbert:
Have traded before without issue. Good luck!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony5104:
Talked to Verizon to make sure it was acceptable with them. Now they tell me if the trouble tickets are not cleared and the problem fixed by next Friday their policy is to replace my incredible with a similar value model. Some 2 week ticket policy nonsense. I really wish they could make up their collective minds. Person I'm swapping with did not mind waiting till next weekend, especially since if verizon tech support does not come through, I'll take the inc to the local stroe, swap it for a cpo one, then swap that for the droid X. I still have ZERO confidence its going to affect my problem is the sad part
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azag Thoth:
well finaly my wifes phone is fixed, she is now receiving text all the time and on time.

here is the kicker, several tech support calls ago i asked the tech if changing phone mumber might work, considering they had already replace phone and problem did not go away, and i figured if it was account settings then it should effect my phone as well. so finaly i talked my wife into changing phone number, kinda of last resorte for her, well finaly she listened to me and it has almost been a week and no missed calls or texts, before it was happening seveal times a day,very very anoying!! but it is all good now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
hi everyone. i'm having an issue which i'm sure you all will be able to help me out. i've looked through the wallpaper collection that many of the users have and i right click the image and "save image as" and save it to the desktop. then i connect my vibrant via usb. where should i be putting the wallpapers to get the right look? if i put them in my gallery, when i try to apply the wallpaper it makes me use the crop function then after applying the wallpaper, it's all blurry and out of focus. could someone please help me out?

thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Is the wallpaper proper size?

Cropping a LARGE picture WILL make it blurry.

Just use your computer.

Use paint, a free program on your Windows PC.

Crop it to the area you want, Idk the EXACT dimensions of the wallpaper (someone wanna help me on this?) but crop the about right amount, and put it on your phone.

That should help.

Or maybe the picture is a bad format? (probably not)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
You can make a folder call it wallpapers in the int-sd card, and put in there. if you size them first you usually do not run into the cropping problem. Also there are easy apps from the market that do this automatically, so you could use those as well. One of the error that easy to make is thinking that the home screen is the size if you are using 3 or 5 screens then it is 3 or 5 wide by 1 tall, just in case you had not thought about that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
ok, cool. i will try both ideas. i could be mistaken, but i think the correct size for the vibrant wallpaper is 400x800...could someone verify please?

thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
You're correct.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
ok. i tried both ideas and i'm STILL having issues with the wallpaper. i used GIMP to resize the images to 400x800 and created a folder on my sd card and named it "wallpapers", but when i go to apply the wallpaper, it makes me use the crop feature and after applying it, it's too big, blurry and out of focus and really starting to piss me off. :) the same thing happens if i try to use one of my pictures from my gallery as a wallpaper. can someone please help me before i lose the rest of my mind?

thanks all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
It's 480x900 I believe.

Just use the app wallpaper set and save.

Not sure why your having an issue using gallery though, works fine for me using the crop tool zoomed all the way out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
It's actually 960 X 800.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Both those sizes are obviously bigger than 400x800 so they wouldn't fix the croping problem.

You know that box that appears on the picture, when you select using it as a wallpaper, is adjustable right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
yes. it is adjustable. that's the cropping tool. (if we are talking about the same "box") i tried using a couple of wallpaper programs from the market and it looks a little better, but not as good as the pre-installed ones.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You would think I could have gotten that, since I'm making wallpapers. Holy oops.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I noticed lately that when I switch phones and activate back to the epic, that I have to odin back to di18 in order for the data connection to come back up. After the flash and reboot, I have to quickly switch to wifi or the auto update of ec05 will bogart the data connection too much.

It seems that prl and profile updates don't work in di18 (anymore) and never did work in ec05. If I activate the epic, updating the profile and prl are steps that I take to get the phone properly provisioned and activated and since they don't work anymore, it really makes things a pain to accomplish. The new flashes for stock ec05 and the root/cwm 25xx are good and I dl'd them but haven't used them yet.

I thought about steps to shorten this procedure by odin di18 then one click 2.5.5 then nandroid the fresh rooted install. I did the same for ec05 from a stock di18, then let the updater do its business then reboot and one click then nandroid. Another problem is I can't seem to go from one to the other with restore, even with clearing data and factory reset and clear dalvik. I always get stuck in a reboot loop into the stock recovery. Another pain.

I know one answer to all this would be to stop switching phones, but why? I had a similar answer with one of the customer service boobs when I had problems activating a phone myself. He said most people don't have multiple phones and switch between them often. That may be a legit answer but I still think it is bs. I won't get into a rant about that...

My last wondering thought is, once I get either di18 or ec05 up, rooted and cwm with 25xx, do you see any problems with using rom manager to update cwm to the 3xxx versions? I'm asking this because most of the posts I've read concerning 3xxx, have to do with changing the filesystem to ext4. I didn't know if those are tied together or not. I tried going that route and didn't have any luck so I went back to rfs.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Clockwork Mod 3.x.x is only for EXT4 file systems. No matter what CWM3 looks for EXT4 at first recovery boot, if not there it will start the conversion process. So if u want CWM3 you have to deal with EXT4.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
Ah ok. Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x5starguerillaa:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for an explanation on my matter but there seems to be some good minds at work so here goes.

I have searched around the web a bit (and in XDA) but can't seem to find a solid answer, with all the wealth of ROMs available and ports from the desire HD an Z. Is it conceivable that you could fit windows phone OS onto a desire? Do we have the processing power as desire owners? Does our NAND system work differently to that of a HTC windows phone? Is it at all possible?

Hmmmmmmmm? Dual boot even???????

Sound like you have a bad launcher (Like ADW that I had), see if you can download the other (IE: GO Launcher EX) one from the market.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocolate Columbo:
Will the phone function to get to Market without a launcher? I've never tried. After installing a new one, it only asks me to select one/set permanent when or if I press the Home button. I can still use Back.

Can you use ADB to install or copy an APK then reboot? Or better yet just flash a newer ROM in recovery. It's usually a last resort, but since that's quite an old ROM it'd be worth it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
DONNO! But I am assume it just like the other FC problem. It error out and sometime let you back in.

To install via ADB:

adb install <path_to_apk>

Hey guys.

So the background in my marketplace hasn't changed ever since i updated to Nodo. What i mean is that "Glow artisan" still shows as the Deal Of The Week even though Monopoly is this week's deal.

When i open the games section for example, i do see new games like super monkey ball but monopoly for example has 4.99$ underneath it in list view but when i open it its price is 2.99(deal of the week). I go back and it stays 4.99

i don;t have a data plan BTW if that cld have anything to do with it.

anyone know a solution?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Grub4dos:
So what I have been doing is running Grub4dos off of my sdcard to boot and trouble shoot on the fly. Here is how I am currently doing it:

Unmount micro sdcard

Place micro sdcard into "standard" sdcard

Place "standard" sdcard into computer

boot and run grub how you would if you were running off of a USB Flash Drive

Ta-Da your in grub

Now my question...

Q. How can I get my phone to run grub without unmounting my SD and removing it?

When my phone is in a normal state in a terminal is how I would like to use grub. I use quemu on my laptop to test my USB.

When I turn on USB then connect my phone to the computer it doesn't recognize my phone as a hard drive even though I have multiple partitions on my sdcard.

I know I'm leaving out information nessassery to properly answer my question so fire away...

Also is anyone else working on Bluetooth to computer troubleshooting?

Overall I'm working on:

1. Getting the Mass USB Storage to be detected by the computer.

2. Then my next step will to have grub4dos on the root of my sdcard. (Which I currently do to troubleshoot as mentioned above) Run Grub4dos with the phone through the USB Cable when I select the device through the BIOS Startup Device Manager. Boot computer as I do for my normal way of getting to grub... Viola my grub menu.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmarz:
This looks like it is doable:http://blog.integrii.net/?p=173

I think the problem is having the phone stay in USB storage mode as the computer reboots. If the computer cuts power to the usb port while restarting, your phone will automatically re-mount the sdcard.

You know what would be sweet? Booting Ubuntu off of the phone's SD card. Compiling a new kernel and rom using it, and then flashing it back to the phone. It would almost be like the phone is evolving, although some might argue it is actually an intelligent designer :)

This is for UBCD, do you know also how to boot hirens boot on sd?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmarz:
If you can boot one thing off of the phone, then you can boot almost anything off of it.

I suggest using this:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

It can do Hiren and ton of others. It'll even download them for you.

I personally can't get my computer to recognize my phone as USB drive while it is booting up, but I think that is more of a motherboard/bios issue than my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Grub4dos:
Pendrive is a good program to use. I personally do my own grub install by hand and use notepad to create my menu. No splash images or extra unwanted footprint.

I also get the same hang up as of right now with my computer not recognizing my phone as a USB device.

A thought...

would be lack of device drivers on the computers side or the USB Connection is not in a true USB state on the androids side. What brings me to this thought is when I take my micro sdcard out & mount it into a "standard" sdcard grub boots every time.

So when a phone is connected it depends on the android phone to read the mbr and pass that information on to the computer? Or the device connected must have a specific type/class of sdcard for the computer to recognize it as a bootable device?
