[HD2 General] telefoontoestel:
Hi.

The touchscreen of the HD2 of my girlfriend died today. There is no way to interact with it and because she pulled out the battery she can't connect because we can't enter the pin number. Now she wants all the phonenumbers and sms messages from her phone, but i cant find them using windows mobile device center. I've looked around and found some references to the programs MyMobiler en Everywan.

MyMobiler installs on the computer, but thats it. No connection, no clone screen nothing. As said in one topic it's probably because there's some interaction needed on the phone itself for it to install properly.

Everywan is nowhere to be found. I always get redirected to the zenprise page which offers an trial for what you need to enter a lot of information hoping they will contact for a trial version... No go at that.

Is there any other way to get the sms messages and phone numbers from her phone?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Has she used the Microsoft My Phone app lately? If so her contacts ant SMS are accessible at myphone.microsoft.com. If she has not then maybe someone else here has another seggestion. Even if it has not been resent sense she synced here phone with Microsoft My Phone what ever was on her phone the last time she did sync will be there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
Hey everyone, currently i have HTC desire and i'm about to buy a new phone... Which phone should i get? Galaxy S II,evo 3d or optimus 3d? The most thing i care about is the hardware,which phone is faster and of course updates... I've heard that galaxy s2 and optimus 3d are both great phones, but i need to pick the right one as i wont be buying another phone for a few months :P One thing i dont like about the galaxy s tho, is the 3 buttons. The standard buttons for an android phone are 4, right? dunno if that will lead to any probs in some apps? anyways, hope you guys can help me out to pick the right phone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
Well the only button you're missing is search. And unless you search a lot, then it's pretty much more of nuisance than a function.

For the evo 3d/optimus, do you need 3d? Do your eyes hurt when viewing 3d? Are you willing to pay the extra buck just for 3d? Do you even want 3d videos or pictures? Those are questions you have to ask yourself.

Now obviously in terms of regular screen use to the average consumer, the galaxy s 2 comes 1st with it's top notch super amoled plus display. It also has size in it's favour also, with being extra thing to very light. CPU? Well i'm in favour of samsung's exynos being the best right now. Nothing really to back it up right now however, but it's better than tegra 2 at the very least. Also if you're a media hog, the galaxy s 2 is your device.

However you're not really going to get the best answers here due to the fact that you're asking in a sgs 2 forum, which naturally, should be populated by users who favour the sgs 2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
Hmm great answer bud, and no, I'm really not that much into 3d. I'm really considering to buy this phone when it comes out, i just hope they will care enough to update their software when a new android version is out. Another reason too buy this phone is that, here in norway we will get the Exynos version that is running at 1,2 GHz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sckc23:
Put 3D, AMOLED and CPU aside, i'll still favour SGSII over an HTC/LG phone because of its superior camera and audio quality.

This is so true.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
btw does anyone know how many multitouch it supports?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sckc23:
i remember the screen of the original SGS can handle 16 points simultaneously so i expect SGSII will be as good as that at least. any screen that can track more than 2 touches accurately is good compare to my HTC Desire lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
haha that's right, i can't stand the multitouch on my desire. But 16 points simultaneously :O thats awesome
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSobadef:
I'm also on the HTC desire, and the memory issues have forced me to set A2SD (SLOW) in order to make the phone useable.

IMHO, the fact that the original galaxy s has a GPU that still outperforms anything out there ATM is a key indicator of the sheer power we should await with the sII's quad-core mali 400

As for the evo, the processor still relies on an A8 cortex, while the SII uses an A9... plus Super Amoled Plus is VERY key ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
Just putting it out there. The A9 holds no advantages over A8 that are being used in any of the phones they have been produced in (DDR3 ram isn't being used in any phones are they?). So it is irrelevant right now to say a phone is better since it has a A9 core.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I'm going for the Galaxy S 2. Amazing g camera, I love the build quality, I like the slim design, and the speed will be awesome.

They're all great phones but I don't really need aa 3D display, nor do I want one. I life in a 3D world, I don't want my movies to be in 3D, it takes away from the experience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
Can't agree more... I'm using a SE Xperia arc atm which is considered (with its "Bravia engine" label) to have one of the best non Super amoled screen from many reviewers and man... it is still a big piece of crap omg I forgot how to watch that type of screens after spending 6 month with my Galaxy S
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
The Desire and Nexus One were the last devices HTC put that pathetic touch screen on. The latest thing I heard HTC used was the Maxtouch, which supposedly supports "unlimited" (probably 10-16) touches.

Even so, I still would get the SGSII. It just seems amazing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
HTC launches 5 phones to beat the competition and Samsung release one phone....like Samsung Galaxy s was most selling Android Device ever...mean while HTC release a new phone every month like crazy....lol....LG has some good android phones but none can beat galaxy S series..so forget about Galaxy S2....I use galaxy S and I am telling you i cannot live without SAMOLED screen...just imagine advance version of that...

Even in this comparison between HTC sensation and SGS 2,......I think Samsung beat HTC again......Even tho I dont know how good TouchWiz 4.0 will be...But still it will be better then HTC sense...And I am hoping it will be easy to root and Custom Rommed as Current galaxy S series...Looking forward to buy this phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 70m1:
A9 features out of order processing so runs faster in bottle necks - also over clocks better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
what do you mean with overclock better? does it run at lower voltage than a typical a8 then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I'm assuming (and correct me if I'm wrong) that the chips are able to handle being overclocked better than others. THey might not generate as much heat; if they do however, they would be more stable than other.

Similar to the chip in the Inspire and G2 OC'ing to 1.5 and being stable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
well, i dont know aswell, if the chip is based on smaller nm scale then yeah that would probably make a bit more sense as it would require less voltage, but i have no information about the chip differences right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Just a waiting game until the device is out.

If OC'ing this device does actually occur (which it eventually would), then I wonder the affect it would have on the battery. Although, I think having Dual Core 1.2Ghz is quite sufficient at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moparman:
I guess there will be diffrent profiles so you can change clock and volt.

So it takes less power on standby .

On my Noka N900 i have a widget so i can change overclock in seconds.

950mhz when surfing and when i need to save batteri i choise another profile ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
C'mon this thing is a savage beast ! I would rather think of Underclocking it ! Exynos Dual core at 1Ghz should be sufficient to do EVERYTHING you can do on an android smartphone and that includes the most demanding games and every task you can imagine, I mean just watch all the vids of those prototypes runnig buttery smooth and they're all running at 1Ghz

OMG I can't wait this is so epic
[Thunderbolt Accessories] aedillor:
I thought I'd share this. The Case-Mate Pop! is a perfect fit. Phone is snug and feels really good to the touch. It's a little steep price-wise but cheaper if you break your phone. :eek:

UPDATE: Just 3 days later.... prolly gonna wait another week or so before returning.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Nice case. No digging the orange peel effect of the screen protector.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mbh87:
i liked mine the first week i got it too, now the silicon is starting to look all messed up.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] DRLyman:
Gotta be an Invisible Shield, I'm guessing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] heffe2001:
File a RMA request, they will let you return it for a refund (I did). Same issue as you, the rubber on it started looking pretty ratty, and for the price, it definitely shouldn't have. Got hairline cracks all around the corners, and the damn power button press-problem as well.

Also, there's another thread about this case here...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mbh87:
Yeah I need to, the problem is that I actually like the case tho. By far the best looking out right now.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] LadyAngler:
I really love the pink one.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] aedillor:
yup! for $7 with unlimited replacement.... I could careless about the "orange peel" effect.... :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Forgetfull:
Everytime someone posts a pic of this stupid case I have to fight the impulse demons.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] heffe2001:
If I had taken a picture of what the rubber around the front of the phone looks like after a few weeks, you'd not have to anymore..

I liked the look of the case, but I'm not spending 45 bucks on a case that looks like crap after a few weeks, what would it look like after a few months??
[Thunderbolt Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
i want this so bad but that flaw u guys are talking about is keeping me from gettin one :(
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mbh87:
Its a bummer cuz its a really nice case. The silicone looks terrible tho :(
[Thunderbolt Accessories] floydiandroid:
I'd like to see a pic of how bad the silicon gets...I really like the look at this thing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] funkybside:
You mean to say "couldn't"...think about it.

I bit my tongue earlier, but this is the third time today I've seen that error on here so I couldn't help it.

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] speedracex:
case looks real nice, wonder if we will get a white oem back eventually like the inc
[Thunderbolt Accessories] aedillor:
Looks nice and fits snuggly on the phone. I just wish they used a better quality rubber. Posted an a couple pictures in post 1
[Thunderbolt Accessories] heffe2001:
There were no questions asked when I asked for an rma. I shipped it to them, and they received it on the same day they released the Barely There. I asked if I could get one of those in place of a refund, but haven't heard back yet...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mbh87:
here are some ****ty pictures of mine
[Thunderbolt Accessories] heffe2001:
My flaws were in the EXACT same places, even the big chunk that came out at the volume buttons. It's got to be something in the molding process, or it wouldn't have that big flaw there at the volume button. I noticed that on the 2nd day after I got it, and it just got worse as time went on.

Just got notification that they are sending me the barely there in place of a refund (at my request). Hopefully it'll fit the bill..
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gissentml:
I did a review. I have had it for a few days now and I am beginning to see the rubber slide off.

[G Tablet General] ThinkinBig:
Hey guys, I just got off the phone with Viewsonic Technical support which I called in reference to any G-Tab updates and according to the rep I spoke with there will be a minor update rolling out at midnight fixing some bugs and such.

I also inquired on any major android updates and he said that there had been a meeting recently and he believes that yes there will be an update to a newer version of android but he did not have a time frame on that.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Any idea if it's midnight ET? :)

My device is still sitting on 2967 (as it has since last week) and I'll be checking, thanks! I'm not holding my breath, though - he might have been talking about 3588 - did you talk to Joe? He told me it was going to be 3588 in the OTA updater tonight / tomorrow.
[G Tablet General] ThinkinBig:
I'm honestly not sure what his name was, and im assuming he meant ET as I'm in Pennsylvania haha. He said it was just a minor update bringing around bug fixes and such but that a major android update was coming but he had no ETA on that one. So, let's see what actually happens
[G Tablet General] cd112:
You know roebeet i talked to the same person.. I asked him what the version of update it was and he was like i am not sure. They have no clue what they are doing there. I also asked him if i can speak to the team that is in charge of developing the honeycomb and he is like i am not sure who it is. I told him if the update is going to be 3588 or newer and he was like its possibly 3588.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks - Joe had an accent (Russian, I think). My guess is that he was talking about 3588, as I bet most of their calls have been Woot and TD users using old firmware. But it would be nice if they actually had something new.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
Great...just got my tab all setup the way I like and it's stable. Gawd gotta get ready for another wipe...jks. hope this works for everyone as I will be getting it as soon as it's available.
[G Tablet General] lsu205:
Well when I called today 4:30 CST on "updates", they have to call me back. 7:30 now and not a word. If anything, the "update" will be 3588 is my bet.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Yep that was the guy... LOL.. Roebeet i had a question for you.. Is there anyway to enable the Over air update on the TNTlite 4.40. Not sure how i do that but this will let me know if the update servers are back on line if there is a new update released.

well the other option is that i can always check back here and i am sure all the devs are waiting for a new release anyways.. :)
[G Tablet General] ThinkinBig:
it was not Joe then as the guy had no accent that i noticed
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I will post something if it's newer than 3588. I've had my device sitting and waiting for the OTA updater for like six days, now. Even if the OTA updater was eanbled on TNT Lite, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't work because of the build.prop changes I make.

Mods are a different story, however. I wasn't expecting anything new so if they pull a rabbit out of their hat this week, I really don't know what I'll do. My GTAB mods at XDA are frozen, as of this afternoon - I'm not going to alter that decision. Sorry about that.
[G Tablet General] macbroom:
Still no update...old or new! Got my TD gTab yesterday they seem to be the same stock as the woot ones with 3389 on them. Nice to know that VS is so committed to our user experience. I'm really enjoying 3389! lol

I'm hanging at stock for a week or so to see if any screen/charger/hardware issues pop up.
[G Tablet General] ylsf:
Viewsonic still doesn't have their act together. No update available as of 9:30am EST and I am running an older firmware from the Woot deals
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Same - I'm purposely went to 2967 stock and I have been waiting (im)patiently for them to fix this for many days, now.

Actually, I will be calling at ~12:30PM ET -- I have a work conference call just prior to that, but I will fill this in. I'd like to hear the latest excuse that they will give me.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Usually when a company is BS'ing its customers with a phony deadline, they'll put it more than 24 hours into future. This new Viewsonic CS company must be amateurs.
[G Tablet General] macbroom:
They seemed to be doing something with the server this morning as the collecting information dialogue ran for 40 or 50 seconds before saying I was up to date at 3389. Normally it only runs for 2 to 3 seconds when the server is down.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Called CS - "they are still working on it", no ETA. I will set aside 10 minutes a day to call them until this is fixed. Suggest that everyone try to call them so they know that this is important.

I know that users on mods don't need it, but there are stock users here and for them it's important. Especially the TD ones stock on build 2967 or older.
[G Tablet General] ThinkinBig:
Ill definitely start calling more often. If we constantly berate them maybe theyll spew out honeycomb to stop the calls lol
[G Tablet General] cd112:
I called as well and spoke to Joe again.. Let me tell you they are complete retards. I don't think they know what they are doing. I called about the update server and he is like it should be up by today or tomorrow and then he said it should be up any minute.

Then i asked him about my power adapter buzzing lightly. Not sure if anyone else is experiancing this. I told him can we do a swipe. Like they send me one first so i am not without a charger and he would not respond correctly. I asked him if i can speak to someone higher than him and he would not transfer. Not sure what is going on. :(

But is anyone else getting a slight buzzing when you plug your wall charger in to the wall and when the green light on the adapter lights up. You have to go close to the charger to hear it.

Let me know.
[G Tablet General] chili_red:
Mine has a very slight high pitched buzzing, but I almost have to put my ear against it to hear it.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Mine has a very slight high pitched buzzing, but I almost have to put my ear against it to hear it.[/QUOTE]

Yep that it.. When the room is completely quiet you can hear it well but when you are busy and not thinking about it you would have to take your ear to it and you will hear this high pitch buzzing but it still charges. it could be a little transformer in the unit that is making that buzzing noise.. But atleast i am not the only one.. Thanks GOD :)
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
what is this update specifically? I have been running Gingerbread from Harmony ROM, and have not kept up with the Viewsonic specific updates.

Will this update contain anything that the other developers can use to make Gingerbread better?
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
This is sometimes an issue with switching power supplies if their frequency is set too low (in the human range of hearing).

My guess is that you're fairly young?
[G Tablet General] cd112:
LOL I wish i was still young.... My hearing is still pretty good i guess thats y i hear things instantly.. :) not that young.. But not over 30 yet.. :) ROFL... :D
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Mine is very, very faint - left side only. My hearing carps out after 11Khz, if recall correctly.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Tooo Funny Roebeet.. Dont worry i am getting there as well soon.. I am constantly working in and out of a datacenter all day so the A/C and the servers can drive a person insane.. :) LOL :D
[G Tablet General] StingRay_:
You're young.....:rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Thanks.. :)
[G Tablet General] edirector:
What's interesting is what could be driving your gtab experience is build date. The screen on this gtab is incredible whereas the first there were some issues until I discovered those nvdia drivers in one of the roms on this thread.

I also had the noise thing going-on on the 1st but the 2nd one no issue. I'm wondering did anyone apply that fix that makes gtab louder? I did on the one I was experiencing the noise on. I didn't put it on this one. Another thing that was degrading my experience was choppy video. 2nd edition simply incredible. There is an article today on infoworld contributing choppy, crappy streaming video experience to flash inadequacies, not neccessarily hardware components.

Also, running 3588 with gapps and gtab is smooth. As gtab gets older vs is making improvements. My urgency or need for that update on this version is not as great as on the 1st one which was one fix after another. So I do understand why many are ticked, basically you are experiencing a limited tab experience.
[G Tablet General] macbroom:
Update is working again now but there's nothing new it's 3588......finally!
[G Tablet General] macbroom:
Maybe there is something new.....it's version 1.1-3588. The backup here at xda is 1.0 I think?
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
That's the exact version I updated to with ota

in early March!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3588 has been around since January. But yes! My OTA updater is FINALLY working. Woo hoo!
[G Tablet General] snapz54:
so do you see anything different?

does it seem to be up for good and stable?

did we actually make something happen?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nothing new, if that's what you mean. But at least they fixed the updater. This is actually a win for stock users, not so much for mod users.
[G Tablet General] PrepP:
Off topic, but is it best to update the stock OS before installing a ROM?
[G Tablet General] beeja75:
Should I be bothering to update when I get my tablet tomorrow if I'm planning to mod it anyways?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I would recommend it. It's a safe bet to make sure your baseline is up-to-date. A lot of the mods here don't update the bootloader or recovery, which a stock ROM update does.
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
I would recommended 3588 as a start no matter what direction you are going. It is pretty stable!
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
That really depends on the ROM you are going to use; my best advice would be to READ the first post of the ROM you want to use. This will generally contain anything you need to know before you install it.

If you follow this advice you will more often be successful; most everyone on here has been EXACTLY where you are at so we all know how it feels to start from square one. Just carefully follow what is being written about the things you are trying to do; use the Q&A forum if you have questions and you should be just fine!

Welcome to the ranks of HAPPY G TABLET owners...
[G Tablet General] PrepP:
Thanks for the quick replies. I have been doing a ton of reading while waiting on my Gtab to arrive. VS had me worried with the OTA updater being down for so long. Glad thats it is back up. I hope it stays that way and they are working on a better update soon. I'll be installing TnTL tonight hopefully!
[G Tablet General] Gaslight0:
An update is now available 1.2-4349
[G Tablet General] lllGurulll:
4349? Is this an actual true update then?
[G Tablet General] jhreid1969:
Nice!! Might have to put stock back on mine to check it out.
[G Tablet General] Gaslight0:
Downloading it now, it says its an update to the features and apps:

-Adobe Flash Support in the Browser

-Support for an external Docking station

-Support for USB keyboard and mouse

-Support Weather for international cities

-Support for Spanish and French languages

-Lock screen that optimizes power consumption when idle
[G Tablet General] sakanagai:
My gTabs just arrived today. I had to do a recovery right out of the box since the downloads kept failing and the browser kept force closing. Two consecutive updates later and I am at 1.2-4349. Don't know if this will stop me from loading TnT Lite later on, but I now have a normal-looking Android lock screen.
[G Tablet General] LisaBham:
I just updated. It says update 1.2-4349 of Tap UI software. which includes flash support in browser, external docking station, usb keyboard and mouse, weather in international cities, language support etc..
