it says you can get a free unlock if you email o2
[HTC Desire S] Komatoes:
Yes, I have seen that before, but have never heard of anyone successfully getting them to do it for free? :) Just because someone put it on the Interwebs doesn't make it true. :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamuk:
Hello Guys,

I am new to this forum and need some help with my DHD which I bought in Singapore.

I am using it in US with AT&T and unfortunately I am not getting 3G eventhough i have 3G service. I am getting EDGE after setting up the APN. Please let me know if there is a way to get this phone working on 3G. I have already called HTC and AT&T and they mentioned that there might be difference in the frequencies.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
DHD UMTS (3g) is 900/2100 MHz, check what your carrier provides.

My particular carrier in Thailand, TRUE, only broadcasts 850 UMTS, others here use 900/1900/2100.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
Hi, long time lurker, new poster.

I couldn't find any info on the G-tab forums on this, so I figured I would ask:

I am just wondering if any of the devs have considered tweaking their Froyo ROMs to replicate the bottom status bar tweak found in CM7. There are a few Froyo ROM's over on the Nook Color forums where this has been implemented (i.e. Nookie-Comb or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999214).

It seems like a mod like this would include the best of both worlds; smooth flash and the bottom status bar tweak similar to CM7. Just curious if it has ever been considered? If a Froyo ROM implemented this, I would probably hop back on that because of the speed and smoothness, but honestly I'm jonesin for the tablet tweaks in CM7 (mainly, bottom status bar), making my ROM of choice a GB ROM with choppy flash.

Any thoughts? Please correct me if I'm out to lunch.

:)

rbansal2 - I already use VTL Launcher and it is great but I like the CM status bar along with it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
VTL makes for a better tablet experience that's for sure.

Having bottom status bar in Caulkin's ROM would be mighty fine though.

VTL + button savior is a good alternative for the time being..

Hello, just wondering if anyone had a solution for changing out the HSDPA icon for the original 3G icon.

This is more of a personal preference than it is a problem.

Sometimes, after reconnection to the wireless network, it will show it as 3G for a brief moment, then will return to being H.

Thanks in advanced.

[Droid Incredible General] nmg72:
So far I have tried CM7 and Nils Business Sense and I'm conflicted.

I really like the new Sense 2 UI that comes with Nils Business Sense, but I also like the speed from Android 2.3 from CM7.

Hard to decide which to stay with.
[Droid Incredible General] ucluglee:
I've only used one ROM, and that's CM7. While I like Sense, I really like CM7's lack of it. :)
[Droid Incredible General] Zerox8610:
I'm between CM7 stable and Skyraider 3.5

Once Skyraider 4 drops I'll make a decision on which to stick with. I just flashed CM7 again earlier today, but I'll probably flash back tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible General] Dhessler5:
I'm a big CM7 fan. I view Android 2.3.3 more important than sense.
[Droid Incredible General] elixir911911:
Warm z twopointtwo all the way. The appearance of 2.3 with sense 2.0 and a very well done UI. Give the newest nightly a shot....it may not be your cup if tea but I bet if you tried it you'd love it
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Its a tough call. I happen to like the sense interface and widgets but there are parts of gingerbread and cm7 settings that are really awesome as well. Rocking cm right now but I too will likely flash skyraider 4.0 and I am quite a fan of warm z as well.
[Droid Incredible General] bill102938:
CM7 fan here...

I used to be a huge fan of skyraider. Was my goto ROM for several months. I then tried MIUI (great ROM... just not a fan of the UI), and a few others. I settled with warm 2.2. I used that ROM for quite some time and really liked it as well.

I eventually made my way to CM7 and have been using it for roughly two months now. Very stable and getting great battery life (you can see my config below). I've learned to significantly customize the UI and notification bar and have been very happy thus far.

I may try SR 4.0 or Myn's Z ROM... we'll see. The only thing constant with my phone is change :D

Happy Flashing :)
[Droid Incredible General] Wardroid:
+1 for warm z 2point2. I had used skyraider 3.5 for a long time and am loving 2point2. I tried cm7 and it just wasn't for me...havent tried nils yet.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Nils new update is working fantastic for me!
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
It depends what you value most. For me, battery life was a very major part in my decision- probably the most important.

CM7 with chad's kernel and a bit of underclock has some crazy good battery life, you probably already know that though.

To be honest I don't know why this is a post because it just comes down to preference :D

Nils is a great developer and very active on fixing any bugs or problems with his ROM's. If you shout him a change or something you'd like to see there's a real possibility you may see it in the next release.
[Droid Incredible General] eatininbed:
I started out with Virtuous, switched onto Skyraider Athena, and now CM7.

I really enjoyed the sense aspect of everything, specifically the dialer and fb connectivity... other than that I didn't care much.

Then I switched to Athena, it was the best of both worlds, dash of sense, pinch of vanilla. basically was vanilla with the exception of dialer and the aforementioned.

Now on CM7 I decided to jump ship and go full vanilla, and it's awesome. The sheer amount of customization within the ROM (including all the themes) is just awesome, and I don't think I'd switch to anything else.
[Droid Incredible General] brando56894:
I had CM7 on mine for like 2 days and it ran great and then started to get really slow and stupid on me so I flashed back to Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.4. Over the past month I've grown to love sense (had an og droid for a year), but absolutely hate the dock thing for it. I wish I could have all the sense features but use a dock like ADW's.
[Droid Incredible General] Greeve440:
My biggest gripe with the aosp roms was having to use a different lockscreen. I got so used to not even looking at my phone to unlock it, but cm7 has me covered there as you can choose from several lockscreens in the settings. The only other thing I really missed was the messaging widget but I was able to add a shortcut to the messaging app to my lockscreen slider so it's even easier to check my texts. I was only ever truly happy with Lou's redemptive revolution before cm7 came around.
[Xperia Arc General] rmk152:

Since at & t is buying tmobile i assume they would want to make their phones compatible with at&t's 3g/4g network , have the 3g bands been confirmed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
The merger hasn't even been confirmed, and sprint is trying to fight it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MN_Evolution:
If the merge goes through from the numerous articles i read, AT&T is planning on using T-mob's AWS as their 4G. There really hasn't been too much talk about how all the T-mo and AT&T phones are going to inter-twine with these two networks.

I'm assuming that people who just have AT&T or T-Mo phones will be sheet outta luck until mfg's start making phones for AT&T's finished network. I wouldn't plan anything with buying phones until AT&T gets the go ahead from the DoJ and the SEC to buy T-mobile, and even then it'll be sometime before you hear what their plans are for the new Death Star's network.

Remember it took a while to rebuild that thing after the rebels blew it up the first time... :P

It shows the status of your device's connection with the Google Servers. When big brother's watching, the signal bar will turn coloured, when hes not, it will remain white.

It's a CM Feature. Not an issue.

This is my tutorial on restoring the Milestone 2. It is more advanced than the other ones out there so I thought hey, let's tell the community. If you don't understand something please reply in this thread and don't PM me. :)

1. Install RSD Lite 4.9

2. Download and extract The right SBF restore file

3. Plug in your phone. Power it off and hold CAMERA + VOL DOWN

4. On the PC launch RSD Lite, Click on the [...] to the right of filename, browse for the .sbf file you have just extracted.

5. Click on Start

6. In normal cases the phone should boot up now. If you are SURE it doesn't, which is when it tells you to boot up the phone manually follow the next steps.

7. Unplug the phone and pull out the battery.

8. Slide out your keyboard and hold the X button, insert your battery and power it up while still holding the X button.

9. A screen with an exclamation mark pops up, press the @ button on the keyboard to open the recovery menu.

10. Use either the arrows on the keyboard or the VOL UP / VOL DOWN buttons to navigate up and down. Go down to wipe data/factory reset.

11. It will hang at some times but in the end it will say it's done. Hop over to reboot system now and reboot.

Congrats, if the problem was software-based, your phone will boot now! :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] M@jkel:
What if the process doesn't even start? I put my phone in the bootloader mode, plug it in, start up RSD Lite, searh for the sbf on the disk, hit start and then the image starts to unpack from the sbf. So far so good, but when it comes to flashing that image to phone I get an error saying flash failed (in fact it didn' do literally anything to the phone) and displaying info that the phone got a reboot command but didn't respond to it. I tried doing this from booted up android but no luck whatsoever. When I get back home I'll update the post with an error code, maybe you can tell me how the hell I can get my phone to flash sbf seamlessly.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
I know it's a bit extreme to do, but it might help for you. Try installing ubuntu or wubi, then use sbf_flash on ubuntu. It takes some time, but if you REALLY need to SBF you should give it a try. Usage is:

chmod 777 sbf_flash

./sbf_flash /path/to/sbf/file
[Milestone 2 Android Development] M@jkel:
I have no knowledge of ubuntu, but I stomped on the same advice as you have mentioned, before. But I didn't quite understand it clearly. I happened to have a ubuntu live 'cd' on my usb flash drive, I have the needed sbf from the links found in the topic of this forum, but is it all that I need, or am I missing something? Is that command you mentioned is everything I need to run?

Sent from my Milestone 2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
You first need to download sbf_flash and extract it to your user directory (the one with downloads, desktop folders). Then open up terminal and execute those commands

Is there a way to restore to the factory default ROM, but still keep my SMS'es/Text messages?

I'm not sure if an MMS issue I'm having is related to the ROM I'm using (Argen2Stone) so want to put the official one back on, but keep all my recent SMS'es...(and preferably all installed apps, etc etc., but SMS'es most important).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] agent008my:
you can back up your text messages using SMS Backup & Restore (available for free from the market place). save the backup file to your SD card, and once your ROM is restored, you can restore your messages using the restore button on that same program. (of course you need to reinstall SMS Backup & Restore in order to be able to restore the previously backed up file) :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DeadSix17:
You could try to make a nandroid backup, flash another SBF and restore just data of the nandroid backup
[Milestone 2 Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
or use titanium backup
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
Sbf flashes do not wipe /data. Therefore you could just sbf restore and all apps and text messages will be kept.

I ended up trying a restore from CWM (backed-up first!) of my very first backup prior to any ROMs etc and just restoring the system only.

This seems to have worked a treat! As I now have the stock ROM and all my apps/sms'es/phone logs etc still in place before I did the system-only restore!

Exactly what I wanted and so easy!

Many thanks guys and huge thanks to the CWM peoples as that thing is amazing.

As the link in the initial post gets a 404 here (and I checked all the path up, the entire branch seems to be removed), are there other safe sources for SBF files for the Milestone2?
