[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Well its not like that will save your phone if they decide to check... you modified the baseband on your phone and its clearly evident.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
so, i recently flashed (two days ago) and i've tried everything and still can't get my data working.

i've input the Bell APN settings, i've tried leaving out the mms part of the APN, tried NFHimself's deodex that also will create a default Bell APN (with applymods.bat) and I've tried reflashing again and still a no-go on the data. any ideas?

i can get wifi and i have wifi basically anywhere that i'm going to stop to do some surfing, but this is still annoying as hell.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lineman69:
I might have asked this already somewhere but this atrix is really ticking me off. I cant even rememeber where or when i posted questions anymore.

what exactly will this flash do...i am having issues getting my data working on a bell atrix. i was told this could fix it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sammm:
Hello All

Just wondering if I can flash this sbf to my newly acquired rooted and unlock AT&T Atrix. I'm having voice call issue with Telstra T3020. It connect with no audio and can't hang up properly, then eventually reboot itself.

Sammm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you have an AT&T Atrix you can NOT use this. you must use an AT&T specific software version. the most current such version is version 1.8.3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sammm:
Bummer!! I was so looking forward to the Telstra Rom.

Thanks you for your help

EDIT: Please move to Q&A subforum. I think I hasted a bit when posting in General. Sorry

-----------------------------------

Hi,

I have in hand a brand new HTC DHD, T-Mobile, UK. This is my first smart phone, so I am fairly new to the Android scene, although I am fairly good with computers. I am sending this phone back to my Dad in Vietnam. He is not very good with all the tech things, but I want to set the phone up the best way I can, so he can have a smooth ride using it.

Having read around the forums for 2 days, I think I have some ideas of what is what, but understandably, I am very nervous when making changes to the phone.

Here is what I want to do:

1. Get rid of SIMLOCK, so at least my dad can use a Viet Nam sim card, or any SIM for that matter

2. Make the phone more efficient, and faster to use. To achieve this, I guess I would need to install a custom ROM and Radio? (Please tell me if only the ROM is needed)

My phone's details are:

Android version: 2.2

Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Build number: 1.39.110.1 CL278886

Having read some of the FAQs, I think to achieve the 2 objectives above, I would need to first Root, and S-OFF, and ENG S-OFF before I can make any changes. So here comes the questions:

a. Do I need to downgrade? If yes, that would be the baseband that I need to downgrade?

b. Would jkoljo's tools http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 be the best for the job for a newbie like me?

c. If I want to make a backup of the stock ROM/Radio as the phone is now, in case of something bad happenning and I can use the back-up, how should I do this? please point me to a guide as I can't find one. It's a bit overwhelming reading all the guides so I may have missed it.

d. I suppose after I have all the pre-quisite above done(root etc), I can try flashing to a more efficient ROM and Radio? Would you recommend a pair that works nice for you?

Thank you very much.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi,

a) No need to downgrade, your firmware is perfectly rootable.

b) jkoljo's tools are excellent, perfect for everyone, newbie's & power users.

c) Once rooted, ENG S-OFF & ClockworkMod Recovery installed you can make a backup of your complete setup, everything is backed up.

d) Personal preference, MrGaraks MIUI 1.4.15 v6, Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test

Don't be nervous, your in good company at XDA. I am assuming you have got your PC environment set up, HTC Drivers, ADB, SDK, etc...

Does your father have any specific language requirements? E.g Vietnamese.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rangnarok:
Thank you for your prompt reply. You may think it's nothing to answer these as they seems simple enough, but they have lifted a chunk of weight from my nervousness.

My father's English is alright-ish :) I suppose I can install a ROM with a Vietnamese langugae pack for him (LeeRoid I think), but that is still second priority to a smooth ROM. Plus, keeping things in English would help me troubleshoot for him if there's a problem Having him saything technical term in in VIetnamese and me having to look for something in English may be difficult.

I have installed HTC Sync, Android SDK, and ADB(from Android SDK, if I'm correct). I think I may be ready to dive.

Please anyone else, I would appreciate any input at all. Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Are you wanting to set up the handset so it will work straight "out of the box".

I set my wife's Desire HD up for her, as she has no concept of how to make things work, she just want's them to work with no messing around.

I can provide you with the setup I applied to her phone if you like.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rangnarok:
Actually, that will be very handy! Ultimate after making core software changes as above, customisations like these are what I am looking to do next. If you don't mind sharing and a lot more typing :) Thank you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
No problem at all.

From this point, I will assume you have rooted, applied ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF and installed ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.2.5)

At the moment, in terms of UI, functionality and ease of use I think MIUI (1.4.15) has all those bases covered.

MrGaraks MIUI 1.4.15 v6 is almost perfect, there are a few changes I make before flashing the ROM, (Removing certain apps, tweaking settings (to my preferences)).

Onced flashed and booted I install a few other apps to further tweak the setup, these can then be removed if needed.

Ok, here are the apps I remove from the ROM.zip

- Backup.apk (MIUI built in backup app, not needed in my opinion)

- quickboot-1.apk (Again, not needed on my wife's phone as she doesn't know a bootloader from a boot lace)

- Email (Use for external email, i.e hotmail, yahoo, etc...not GMail, again not needed)

- File Explorer

- LiveWallpapers (Including, Picker, Smoke, Music, Visualisation)

- miui-dev.apk (Access to the MIUI-Dev forums)

- Protips.apk

- SoundRecorder

- VoiceDialer

Here are the tweaks I make to build.prop

- ro.sf.lcd_density=220 (Default =240)

- wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120 (Default =15)

- dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m (Default =64m)

- ro.ril.enable.prl.recognition=0 (Default =1) - Enable for use in China

Once I have made these changes I flash the ROM & reboot twice (just to be safe, not technically required now).

Once booted I set up the handset with my wifes Google Account and install the following apps

- ClockSync (Syncs the clock to an atomic clock - Turn off auto network time)

- FasterFix (Enables the use of a local ntp time server)

- AdFree (Removes adverts from apps & browser)

- ROM Manager (Make ROM backups)

- Busybox Installer (Install latest version 1.19.0)

- Titanium Backup (Backup apps & app data)

- WebKey (Enables me to provide remote assistance to my wife, similar to VNC)

- SetCPU (Set CPU profiles to maximise battery life and performance)

Apologies for the large screen shots.

As you can see I tidy all the apps away into folders and use one screen for simplicity. I use Music & Market quite a bit so I keep them out.

All that is personal preference and call be easily changed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rangnarok:
Wow, what can I say! I really appreciate your efforts, especially spending your time with the screenshot. Now I know I can choose programs from a ROM, very much like customising a Windows Setup bootdisc, I am sure to spend more time digging.

I have now sucessfully managed to have ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF. Put a Lycra SIM in and it works, so I guess Sim is Unlocked (it may even be Unlocked already before all this). I have to say, the process was simple enough and I am a lot more confident now that the easy part is over :) LOL. I am also glad I didn't need to downgrade or get a Goldcard, which would makes thing more complicated.

Now onto ClockWorkMod and a whole new overwhelmin word of ROM flasing.

Thanks so much! I am sure to be back with more questions :D

First off, this is my friend's Droid 2 Global, and he asked me to post this question up.

Most of the time when I (on att) call him (verizon), his screen lights up black and the phone vibrates, but he can't answer the call. He can't do anything while I'm still ringing him, and when it's all over, the phone comes back to life; however, it doesn't recognize that it had any missed calls.

Any ideas of what's going on?

Visionary just gives me a black screen and resets HTC sense after a while..

With rage i get to the part where i should restart the terminal emulator to get into a temp root shell, but it just freezes wile starting.

Any suggestions? (I am a total noob at rooting so please be gentle) ;)

[Vibrant General] archie53:
It's getting rave reviews, the only complaints I have read are the light leak and the Euro version comes with a hdmi cord and the us version doesn't. Other than those two complaints this phone seems to be a winner.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
Oh damn, I'm still up in the air between this one and the SGSII. Looks like Sammy's gonna win in the display dept. This is pretty disappointing to see; especially since we know LG makes the screens for the iphones. SMH.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
Don't see much of an upgrade from my vibrant. Now if it had a 4. 3" screen, I would run and get one today I hope we get phone with a screen that big soon.
[Vibrant General] Mannymal:
People should really wait this out. The Vibrant is more than good enough for now, why rush and get the newest flawed product.
[Vibrant General] Useless_Alias:
I've had 3 phones in the past 2 months, lost a mt4g over the weekend, got a gs4g on Sat, returned it today got the g2x and other than missing the optical mouse on the mt4g, for what's out there currently this phone is by far my favorite....but really how come phones are now lacking camera hw buttons and notification LEDs, that has been irking me all week, and I would take a vibrant over a gs4g because of the internal storage
[Vibrant General] David111jr:
im trying to wait for the galaxy 2 but i doubt i will be able to wait and find my self getting the g2x
[Vibrant General] IronWolve:
Played around with it today at the downtown Seattle TMO store, and the screen was a major letdown for me. I went wanting to upgrade. The kicker was when I asked if I got the upgrade they said I had 3 months before my 1 year for discount to upgrade. Grrr. Wonder if the HTC Sensation will be out by then, bigger screen, faster processor, etc.
[Vibrant General] nbhnohome:
Yah, you're right. I'm deciding b/t SGSII and HTC Sensation. HTC seems to be a better choice.

Anybody knows how GPS works on HTC products ???
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
usually, perfect.

I wouldn't count on saying that SGSII would have a not-working GPS..

i'm sure Samsung learned from their mistake..

i mean... the GPS bug was found out like a month after Vibrant's were sold...

millions sold.

They can't re-call millions of sold products...
[Vibrant General] Mookie_Jones:
i got one today. while i would love to get a galaxy s II im thoroughly frustrated with samsung.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Indeed. At times it seems some people buy phones here just for the sake of having a "new" one. Why change when you've a device that works just like you want to? Better specs aint everything, looks can be deceiving.
[Vibrant General] nbhnohome:
You're right but everytime I compare this with my Olde Cliq, I piss off :mad: .Except for the not too good speed, everything works nicely and its GPS just simply blow Vibrant one out of the water :D (locks within 5 seconds no matter what roms I put on it Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread)
[Vibrant General] kboater:
So the LG G2X runs the Tegra Duel Core, the HTC Sensation will be running their Scorpion duel core chip, and the Galaxy S2 will be running what processor?

I remember seeing something about the HTC duel core not being as good as the Tegra 2's? how about the Galaxy S2 duel core?

I know its a lot to ask, just wondering if anyone remembers seeing that HTC chip was not as good as the Tegra or what the Samsung will have.

I think it will be good to compare this as it seems like these are the 3 phones many of us are trying to decide on/wait for
[Vibrant General] los0325:
Got my g2x on Tuesday, and rooted it last night, the screen is a let down my is minor compared to some overall love it, someone just finished recovery and cm7 or gingerbread STABLE real soon.. the only Sammy products I will buy here forward our their TVs

[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
its no comparison SG2 all the way!!! but if i cant have that then my runner up will be the sensation
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
That light bleed looks terrible! The display next to it is either a mytouch Slide or a mytouch 4g. I wonder if LG is using the same ****ty screens that Motorola uses. Moto's are the worst!
[Vibrant General] mr.orange303:
Its not bad at all. Thought I'd come back and say the g2x is grrrrrreat!

Check it out. Still love the vibrants screen more though.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Ehh I'm sticking with the sgs2 I was going for the g2x, but then saw specs and wanted an sgs2

Sensation is definitely out due to htc having locked boot loaders.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Yes locked bootloader + 1GB internal memory are unacceptable. If you want to wait that long, might as well wait for SGS-II :)
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
After playing with the G2X for a day now, must say I'm VERY impressed. I do have minimal light bleeding, but very minimal, and only noticeable on black backgrounds, but not an issue for me. GPS is just crazy good. I get locks in about 5 sec, and lock in 10 sat's every time. The screen looks amazing, (though the vibrant's does do blacks a little better), but still, love it. The hardware just flies though, and I can't wait to see what a custom rom will do for it. Plus, really digging the 4g speeds and the ffc. 1080 recording looks great too. If you are on the fence on this one, go for it.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
so does anyone know the differences between the CPU's in the LG G2X, htc Sensation, and Gallaxy S2?

If I remember correctly, the LG runs the Tegra 2, the Sensation runs some sort of Scorpien processor (?), and the Galaxy S2 is running a duel core version of the Hummingbird.

So how do all these duel cores compare to each other?
[Vibrant General] nbhnohome:
SGS II comes with Exynos 4210 at 1.2ghz
[Vibrant General] tbrar:
Sensation runs dual core snapdragon and SGS2 runs dual core exynos. I dont know about dual core snapdragon but exynos and tegra2 are almost evenly matched. search google for some benchmarks to get more details but processor wise there wont be much difference but screen wise sgs2 wins hands on. Better still read this http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_vs_lg_optimus_2x-review-585.php
[Vibrant General] nickdog670:
There will be a model of the Galaxy S2 with a Tegra 2 processor and another with Samsung's Exynos processor.
[Vibrant General] gazelem37:
Yeah, it has its advantages but the screen isn't one of them. In the review it is compared to the iphone and vibrant and to me doesn't even come close to intense color putting aside the bleeding light. But vanilla Android is tempting because it will be updated to Gingerbread soon according to HTC. Only other options for vanilla android are the Nexus flagships, and they are pricy!
[Vibrant General] niftydl:
I've had a chance to use the LG 2x for a couple of days and the backlight on my particular unit was minimal/barely visible in a dark room with full backlight brightness. There is probably some variation in hardware. The person with the screenshots probably has a defective unit.

The screen itself is absolutely wonderful. The colors from the IPS panel are realistic and vibrant. I would have no problem giving up the black levels of AMOLEDs for similar quality IPS screens. The camera sensor in the Vibrant is still superior in darker environments, even without 1080p.

So far my problem with the LG has to do with lack of quad band HSDPA. I pay full prices for my phone and wanted a true global phone in the near future. T-Mobiles website continue to advertise 850/1900/AWS/2100 3G bands but the phone box clearly lists AWS/2100 as the only two supported bands. Of course it is possible that the hardware is capable and it is simply disabled in the baseband firmware, but people using plain unlock codes have been unable to get ATT 3G (as test for 850/1900) so far based on some reports in the LG forums.
[Vibrant General] gazelem37:
Don't forget that Sammy decided to throw a 1.2 Ghz dual-core processor in the SGS II instead of the previously thought 1.0 Ghz. They also promise to have a 2Ghz dual-core by the end of the year! WOW! Tough to buy anything right now with those kind of promises.
[Vibrant General] nickdog670:
I heard the 2ghz phone was going to come out next year and not the end of this year.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
It's Samsung. So I wouldn't trust any promise from them. The Vibrant is my last Samsung phone. The G2X looks awesome from the reviews. But I think I'm going to wait for an HTC phone. The Vibrant with Bionix is awesome so I can easily hold on for a few months more.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
I don't consider this phone or any phone currently out right to be enough of an upgrade to jump ship.

I figure if they can't get to market, there's always the competition.
