The mobile set I received is scratchless, even the chrome and screen is scratchless too.

I think they are refurbished mobiles and these guys are from hong kong and with exchange of some emails Im sure they are quite stupid too.

In the beginning when the issue of PC connection started I asked them that a friend of mine have HTC HD 2 and I will try borrowing the USB cable from him and asked them that are the cables same for TP2 and HD2 and they said yes which turned about to be not as HD2 have Micro USB cable.

They are offering me extra compensation $ as well as refund with return shipment charges too and all Im asking them is to send me a exchange which is a GENUINE HTC Touch Pro.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If they are offering you a refund, I think you should take it and buy from someone else. These guys clearly don't know what they're doing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
Yes right

The only positive point of them is Price and returns accepted too for 90 days.

I have been after this phone from over a month now and I know I wont get a refurbished scratchless TP2 for $192.5, people are buying used one's for above $250

I have mailed them to ask for a exchange with a Genuine (not mix thing) TP2 with original accessories and make sure to check its working with PC. lets see what they has to say about it now. If they didnt agreed then for sure I will take the refund option.

Im still wondering that what could be the problem that they cant upgrade to win 6.5 or are they stupid enough to know how to do it.......

In any case Im going to send this one back so before sending I wish I could try atleast once to see if it upgrades and see what it does and if it didnt then I wont take the exchange option too. Just confused that if it didnt worked then will I have option to rollback or install current version again.....?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You should just tell them to leave it sealed in the box if it is brand new, as they claim it is. I assume you'll be using English language anyway, since you appear to be fluent in it. The part in the eBay ad about them opening each box to install software just doesn't sit right with me. I wouldn't want ANYTHING on my device that I didn't put on there myself.

Anyway, I certainly hope for the best on this one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
Well we are sure that they are lying about NEW things, its for sure refurbished thing.

Check this out, very interesting thing I found again.

http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t144976.html

I will be doing everything on my own responsibility so you can clearly tell me that should I try upgrading this mobile and if just in case it fails/hangs then will there be a rollback/reinstall option to current version?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You can always roll back if you want to. You just need to flash a different ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
Hi

Got my new TP2 and it dont have that mix issues, this one is perfectly fine and also working with everything except again it have windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09

Now I want to update it to Windows 6.5 and latest ROM

Will directly installing from following link, will it install Windows 6.5 and update ROM to latest as well?

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDow...at=2&dl_id=913

Or should I have to first download and install from following link and then install above ROM too.

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDow...at=2&dl_id=702
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
It must be installed from your computer if it is the official update. There is a way to install it without your computer, but it is easier to just run it from the PC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
yes tat i will do but actually i was asking which rom should i install from above links to get windows 6.5 and latest rom or ido i hav to install both one by one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You should only need to install one, but both of the links you provided are dead. It depends on your model number as to which ROM you need to download. Look back at our previous conversation and find out which device model you have (and make sure the IMEI matches this time).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
here they are again, dont know why it got changed...

1st

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=913

2nd

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=702

So will the ROM upgrade from 1st link will do both (install windows 6.5 and upgrade to latest ROM) or will I have to install both one by one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Long answer:

Both of them are 6.5 ROMs. The difference is that the first link is newer and has some newer features, like the Sense interface instead of the Touch Flo3D GUI. Flashing a ROM is like installing a new OS on your PC. Make sure you have everything backed up before you do so. You only need to flash one of them. If you flash both, then the last one you flash will be the one you're left with since it will overwrite whatever is already on there.

Short answer:

Flash only the first link.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] craftsvision:
got it installed, its working perfectly. but in this version of windows i dont see the task/process managerat tat shows running processes n option to kill them at the tip right corner i use to see in win 6.1. i had togo n run taskman manually by file explorer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Try X2 Task Manager. As always, read the instructions before installing it. You are running WM6.5.0, so select that version.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
Has anyone actually seen any leaks or photos (besides the one on the microsite) of the Samsung Galaxy SII with the "Samsung" logo in front?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwhitelaw:
I wondered the same thing. Also

the one without it on the front, had it on the back.

Did they remove it from the back, on the one that had it on the front? I never really paid attention to that.

But I think it looks way better without it on the front.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Agreed, it looks much better being all clean in the front.

But again, unnecessarily the same subjected thread is created while this discussion is already going on elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overlord Yuri:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Until then, just wait and enjoy the Youtube videos being found from time to time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
I'm sure many of us are looking for proof these "Samsung front logo" devices actually exist. No worries, leaks will definitely turn up before release date. And here is the thread people can post them in. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
I really hope the final version won't have the logo on the front.

Maybe they just photoshoped it for promoting reasons on the web? :D Who knows...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
I wonder whether there will be front panels available like there were for the iPhone 4. That would be pretty interesting, although I am sure not many will want to disassemble their device to replace the front panel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayrlupine:
I'm hoping when GelaSkins have the stencil cut out for the SGSII it'll have a part that covers the front, as well as the sides and back, so I can have a nice design of my choosing all over the phone! Samsung logo be damned! (Not really, I don't mind it that much, but GelaSkins look awesome.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Ehh, most probably Ill just toss invisible shield on it and use a leather pouch with it.

Keeps it safe, and continue to flaunt the device when in use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndnesh:

I am PISSED ...i just bought a d2g from a girl and i called the big V to verify it was not lost or stolen and could be put on my account...dude says its not lost or stolen all looks ok...i pay 300. turn around 10 min later and big V says "well its still on their account, not lost or stolen, no you may not activate it.....JUst got of the phone with her boyfriend after talking to her and both are saying no refunds and if i dont shut my mouth they report it lost or stolen....i told them they could try but i had the V rep put all this in the notes....but im still stuck and out 3large. are there any work arounds to remove a not lost or stolen phone from someone elses account....(or does anyone wanna buy a 300. d2g that cant be activated :D )
[General Questions and Answers] jeremyritzmann:
you may be out of luck my friend. them saying that indicates to me that they are planning on reporting lost or stolen, using part of the 300 to do a warranty to get a new one, then pocket 175 bucks. best case scenario is to wait it out, to see what happens or ebay that shizzle. best of luck to you though.
[General Questions and Answers] rice247:
Damn that sucks. I usually activate the phone on my line before handing them the cash. If they can't wait the 10mins for that to get done, they are probably trying to screw you.

Did you buy this off of someone from Craigslist or something? If you have their phone number and and email showing that they were trying to sell that phone, call this guy.

Associate Director Executive Relations

He will be able to help you out. I got f'd on a DX a few months ago. I activated the phone and was using it for over a month before I decided I wanted a Fascinate. When I went to trade phones, they take the DX off my line then tell me that the phone was reported lost/stolen and they can't put the phone on that facinate owner's line and they can't put it back on mine. :mad: Found out it was reported a few days after it was activated under my account.

I Google'd some Verizon big wigs, and emailed all of them until I got a response from them. Most company's have their emails set up like firstname.lastname@coolasscompany.com. I got a hold of Mike Riggs' boss, he got the info to Mike.

Hope you have some emails or something to prove that they intended to sell the phone to you. Without that he won't be able to help.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] literaldave:
Maybe someone can answer a couple questions I have. I finally grew a set and rooted and flashed CM7 to my phone. I noticed that videos I have on my phone are choppy when playing back now. Any idea why?

Also, maybe I just don't see it, but is there a way to turn off the shutter sound in the camera?

Anyone also have any suggestions for a first time rooter/flasher?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhessler5:
The choppiness may be because CM7 is not 720p and the quality isn't as good, that is my guess at least. This is because CM7 is AOSP not Sense.

As for the shutter the only way I can find a way to rid it is by turning my volume down, if there is a solution I would like to know as well.

And some tips for first time rooter/flashers is make sure to back up everything! Make a nandroid backup before flashing anything. That way if any problems occur you can just revert back. Also check out different types of ROMs to fund one of your liking. Try AOSPs (CM7, UD) Sense 2.0 (WarmZ 2.2, IncROM, Re-Engineered, SkyRaider) and just anything you find intriguing. Free Wireless Tethering is a huge plus for being rooted too. Just have fun and keep nandroids!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
People have made flashables that remove the shutter sound entirely, not sure where they are as I've never used them.

The video playback shouldn't be choppy, lower quality shouldn't mean lower fps- not to mention that they are still very nice quality vids.

Check to make sure if it's only choppy when playing back on your phone or if it's still choppy after you've uploaded it to your computer and play it there.

If it's only choppy on your phone it's possible you may have tried to watch it while your phone was doing background processes that ate up cpu - or - you considerably underclocked your phone.

Playback for my vids are smooth on the highest setting, and I underclocked my phone (CM7)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianbobo15:
Stagefright isn't able to handle 720p on our phones yet. Came from CM himself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucluglee:
You can get replacement camera sounds here. There is one that is silent. I did this by extracting the camera_click.ogg file and used Root Explorer to overwrite the file in system/media/audio/ui. Once I did that the camera no longer makes a sound when taking a picture. :D

Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
so do i need to wipe b4 a flash even if after the last ROM loaded i immediately re-flashed cuz i hated the the ROM? also is wipe necessary if TB really wipes every re-boot?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
I always wipe. Period. I just find it more reliable that way. Just use Titanium Backup Pro and it makes your life very easy. :)

Edit: and a lot of ROM makers want you to wipe data/davlik/cache before you report a bug.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:

[Windows Phone 7 General] nathantw:
If any hardware developers read these threads can you PLEASE put a button/switch on the phone that locks all the other buttons other than the camera release?

I was at a concert the other night and I wanted to take a picture or two. I pressed the camera button to go into that mode and changed all the settings to the way I wanted then when I brought the phone up to take a picture I pressed the inconvenient "back" button on my Focus. ARGH! I had to go back into the camera mode again, redo all the settings again and once again, pressed the "back" button AGAIN! It was pretty embarrassing that I had to keep bringing up the camera mode then redo the settings over and over again. This happened not once or twice but throughout the night. If that's a feature that Microsoft wants, then I think it's a crappy one. I finally got fed up and just enjoyed the concert. Maybe that's why they made things so inconvenient.

Can we have at least physical buttons instead of "buttons" that need to be pushed instead of ones that only take a swipe of a finger to activate?

Sounds pretty familiar
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:

sorry for asking so many questions, but i was wondering if there is a way to stream audio from my mac to the xperia like on the iphone there is an app called airphones, which is so cool.

Any idea what a good app is out there to do that

Perhaps this is usefull, says it supports Airplay (iTunes streaming)

[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
when there is root you will be able to just use cifs manager.
[Xperia Play General] Waqas:
I use air bubble to stream directly from latest itunes

why not stream directly from latest itunes. it works like air play same way your airport express works. and sound quality is acceptable, if not better...

just look at bottom right corner of itunes and select airplay or whatever name you gave this. you need to be connected to the same wifi network. works seamlessly.

Please give feedback on this app if you like it and any problems you encounter. just started using it today so can't give much feedback yet

Now that info on sence has been dropped do you think we will see it on an Eris rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
LOL. Not a chance. They're not going to bother updating the Sense version on the stock 2.1 ROM - it's likely the March OTA, being such a relatively minor update, is the very last official update the Eris will see. And fully working ports of Sense-based 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs have not been able to be made completely working; and I doubt at this point that it will ever happen.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diggy1584:
That's what I figured expecially if the thunderbolt isn't getting. Just was wondering because the Eris wasn't getting froyo either but now I'm running gingerbread on it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Android itself is open source, which allows any devs who want to create their own Android ROMs such as CyanogenMod or pure AOSP to do so. HTC Sense is proprietary and not open source, which makes making versions of it work on devices it wasn't made for much harder.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellfrozeover:
I like my froyoeris so much i hardly miss sense. it was nice but this phone is far, far better now than before <thank you kaos!> i might have tried one of the froyosense roms but i need to have a camera... cant miss the candid moments with the kids.:)
