Yeah Incredible 2. If you aren't going to have LTE in your area anytime soon, why bother? they pretty much have the same specs, except for screen size and some other things. Plus the inc 2 is a world phone, so if the need arises, you can take your phone with you around the world. Plus htc sense is a lot better than samsung touchwiz in terms of custom overlays. HTC has a better track record in quality, and software updates. You should be fine with the inc 2. I have the OG inc, and it is an awesome phone. I can imagine the inc 2 will be just as good and better.
[General Questions and Answers] KingKuba13:
Neither one.
[General Questions and Answers] phoneman09:
Definitely the Incredible 2 that phone looks so awesome. To bad your not with T-Mobile the Sensation is going to be amazing and its going to have 1080p video recording along with Sense 3.0!
[General Questions and Answers] dadsterflip:
Well I read it somewhwhere that you can switch back to a 3g phone from a 4g sim card. I guess once you move your number to a sim that's that. So you might have to get a new number but I'd go with the incredible 2. Awesome home keys that turn with you turn the phone. Gl

I'd go with the Inc 2. I'm a bit surprised VZW granted a Samsung phone the "Droid" moniker.
[General Questions and Answers] isdfoa:
droid charge! i dont like htc, poor battery life :/
[General Questions and Answers] rberry88:
I'd go with the Inc2, I have the Inc and it is simply incredible (pun intended). The battery life on the stock ROM wasn't great but after rooting it I have it setup to give me a good 12-14 hours of uptime and I have the same usage as you except roll in a heavy work schedule that I use my phone for also.

The Droid Charge is $300. Totally not worth it.
[General Questions and Answers] voxigenboy:
Best Buy Mobile is doing it for $249... so when i take the Thunderbolt back tomorrow it would be a straight swap.

i suppose with the Inc 2 being $199 that's an extra $50 back for all-you-can eat sushi! õ_Ô
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I mean the upside is it gets free Mobile Hotspot, but then again you get that from rooting...

[General Questions and Answers] Oldmansin:
have you tried the radio update found in the developers section? it fixed my issues and you dont have to be rooted to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] king kratos:
I would say go with the Inc2 as it looks very nice and I have heard noting but good things about it! Besides, the Charge is going to have an encrypted bootloader and that is going to prevent you from being able to do much as far as rooting and ROMing is concerned.

Where are you getting this FUD? No Samsung has an encrypted bootloader. It's the Inc that's locked down: the GSM version has been out for months and still doesn't even have permanent root!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncmaster753:
Hey XDA,

I Recently attempted to flash my Kernel to KhasMek Voodoo plus v5 using SGS flasher and heimdall. But upon reboot, the system gets stuck at the samsung screen, and i can't boot into recovery.

I end up having to boot into download mode and recover to stock VZW (using heimdall and the necessary files)

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

The procedure I used is as follows:

Started with: Stock VZW SGT w/4gb microSD (about 3gb free)

1: I rooted using superoneclick

2: Then Used Koush's CWM Recovery Method

- Downloaded The "Verizon Tab Bootstrapper" application to convert my SD card to ext4, then downloaded Rom Manager, flashed recovery for a VZW tab and backed it up.

3: I Flashed with SGS Flasher

-I put the v4 Kernel on my SD card (along with the v5 zip for later) and flashed to it. The software recognized the root & successfully flased the device, but could not reboot the device ( I rebooted manually)

And....that's as far as i got, i'm stuck at an empty battery picture if plugged in, or the samsung screen if unplugged. But i can get into download mode, and subsequently get back to stock.

I tried again without applying the prompted android update (Is this the EC02 update?) and had the same outcome.

Can anyone spot my blunder?

Thanks a ton
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncmaster753:
In a true show of ignorance, the solution was in the developer's thread about 40 pages in.

The solution was to use The .tar kernel file (linked for option 3) instead of the .zImage (linked for option 2)

SGS flasher worked this time, still didnt auto-reboot

But now i'm running boush's kernel and it's @1.4ghz Stable.

(quadrant score from ~950 - ~2100)

While traveling overseas in Malaysia I bought a pay-as-you-go SIM card and got phone and 3G service for a week. Worked great!

Now that I'm back in the states I have no 3G service with AT&T.

What do I have to do to get my phone back to 3G service? I can call and text just fine. Wifi is fine too.

I've looked for a FAQ please point me to one if it exists.

I'm running Cognition 3.02. Probably more info is needed. If so please let me know.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
my last g2x battery lasted like 4 hrs on a full charge what is the best way to charge the new one? do i let the battery run out then charge it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rashad1:
When you first get a phone, you should let the battery die before charing it. Then charge it completely after it dies, this will maximize your battery life. If you charge it right out the box, you're actually reducing the amount of juice the battery can hold.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
That's not really accurate. Lithium Ion batteries have no memory effect like older batteries so charging them from halfway full does not reduce the maximum capacity.

What happens is the phone needs to learn to measure the amount of mAh from the phone and recognize what battery % that means. By taking the phone through the full discharging and charging cycle, the battery drivers pick up on this and will better report the battery level. With a poorly calibrated battery, you do not get less battery, but instead you just will not see accurate information about the charge level. For example, my first discharge went quickly to about 10%, and even quickly below 5%, but stayed on for hours between 5% to eventually shutting off.

The battery still will not die faster, but my phone thought it was much lower than it was, giving it the appearance of dying faster. Point is, you can do the charge/discharge cycle whenever, not just the first time, and it won't effect your long term battery health.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
1) do factory reset

2) drain completely

3) charge completely
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
thanks!

thanks everyone for your advice!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
I think it really depends on who you ask. lol Some people will say let it drain first then charge it fully. I have read info on battery maker sites that suggest when you get their battery that you let it charge fully for at least 8 hours, then let it discharge fully. They say to do this the first 5 charges to increase battery life.

When I get a new phone or battery that's what I do. as soon as I get it I charge it up overnight, then let it discharge completely for the first 5 charges. I can only speak by my experience and my experience tells me it makes a difference. Here is my reasoning: me and my ex gf went one day to get new phones. We got the same phone. She started using hers as soon as we left the store. I waited. I charged it up overnight fully and did the conditioning procedure. Our phones were pretty much mirrors of each other app and software wise. Her battery would die out a couple of hours before mine. Battery usage also didnt report any HUGE differences in consumption .

Also every once and a while I go into Clockwork recovery and wipe battery stats(after it's been fully discharged) and re do the conditioning process. It might just be a mental thing, but for me this seems to work :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
supposedly from htc.....

1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
I heard/read somewhere that you should never let a lithium ion battery fully discharge. It supposedly shortens its lifespan every time you fully discharge it. Instead, you are suppose to just top it off and not let it remain on the charger, for extended periods of time, once its reached a full charge. YMMV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
This is "more" true for everyday normal usage. Yes, you shouldn't constantly fully charge and fully discharge every time you use your phone. But for battery calibration it is necessary/beneficial.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I also hard that during the first charge after turning the phone off you have to strange on your head for ten minutes, then only use your left hand for the rest of the day and you will double your battery life

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itoao:
Hello all,

I am considering getting a NC for my sister.

She will only want to do some light web browsing reading and the big thing is watching a movie when traveling.

Will the new update allow this?

If I have to root it will that even be something it can do?

play a dvd rip or a movie formatted for the ipod for example.

Thanks in advance for any answers.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLCollier2005:
stock can do all this, even 1.1 could from what I remember. Although I never tried watching movies, there was a section for them. Just remember to get the best quality, you have to convert it correctly. Just converting it to an iPod will work, but won't look as good as it can. I suggest DVD Catalyst (it costs, but the guy who made it deserves the "donation") or if you're cheap, handbrake. DVD Catalyst has pre-set format for the Nook and you can google what settings to set handbrake to.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
The nook color is very capable at playing normal size videos (i.e the 175MB or 350MB shows). Since its so easy to root it I recommend that you do and then you have a choice of MPEG4 players (no conversion needed). You can also install any ebook reader you want :P
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
I don't think rooting is a good suggestion right now. The 1.2 update just came out and isn't rooted yet. I'm sure it wont be long till we are free again, but I don't recommend the idea of rooting right now.

That said, I do believe its all possible on stock 1.2. I'll reboot into 1.2 and see how video playback goes. I know it works on CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLCollier2005:
for a general user, I too suggest sticking with stock 1.2 until there is an auto-nooter (auto root) method, even then you/she may never need more than stock 1.2.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empthollow:
I have successfully rooted 1.2 using nooter 0.2. I have not gotten Android Market to work yet but I have many apps working including zeam. You will need another launcher like zeam to use applications not from the nook market because they do not show in the nook apps menu. You could of course use 1.1 and use auto-nooter to get the video player apps you want. The main difference is flash is not supported in 1.1. 3rd party apps do show in the extras menu in 1.1.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Back again. This time from stock updated Nook Color. Yes videos play just fine. I tested it on my 3 stooges rips. :D Just go into the gallery and find your movies. Light browsing obviously works, since I am posting this.

Root might be great once itcomes back again, too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Won't a rooted 1.1 NC try to update itself when the update goes automatic? I have never rooted, but the auto update looks to be a common concern in the forums at the moment. Just curious.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3igi3yrd:
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 RC2 and was about to upgrade to the stable build, but then took a look at my phone and realized that I'm running a different launcher (Zeam), a different dialer (Dialer One), and a different unlock widget.

Hi everyone

Here in Argentina, after upgrading the phone to froyo, with official and mod firmwares (motafoca), a lot of people experience the lost of 3g network, the phone only works on edge. we already checked the apn, did the herware reset, vn rebuild and all the obvious solutions.

Im thinking the problem is the "amss" file in the new firmware which is the qualcom modem configuration.

Someone know if its possible to backup it or maybe delete from the firmware before update it with odin (having a working 3g phone)? Thanks

-can extract these files to hard drive.

-add files to a tree.

-save cab to make it ready to install on device.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Deleted member 1890170:
Probably none, because name of SD-/MMC-card differs from device to device. But enduser always can set location where to install the cab via Wceload tool ("wceload.exe"). The Wceload tool runs on the target device. User typically uses this tool to install a .cab file to a location that he/she selects on the target device. Most .cab files are configured to enable the user to select the destination volume where the .cab file will be installed, either \Device or \Storage Card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skoda_Vrs:
Hi Guys

Well the problem i have is that i want to install a official ROM from the HTC website, and i cant, Every time i go to update it, it just stops at 0%.

All i want to do is update the ROM with a official ROM and restore all the spl along with everything else.

I think it doesn't work because i did something to get android to work which i never got working. and few weeks ago i did something to change the spl to 2.08 from 1.42,

and also i have the original official UK t- mobile ROM that came on the device when new. Which i would like to flash and then update it with newer one.

Any help would be appreciated............

Thanks again.

On tri colour screen it says

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

And on boot in bottom left corner says

R 2. 02. 50.22...2

G 15.26.50.07u

D 1.43.70315
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Firstly, this section is for t mobile USA phones, you have a normal hd2, t mo us (tmous) is a very different beast, and you will get much better and faster help in the normal hd2 section.

Secondly, you can't just use any old stock rom to restore default, it has to be a t mo UK rom.

Thirdly, that spl is not for regular hd2s, it will work, but (and I say this with limited evidence) may cause issues when trying to flash a 1.x version rom.... namely it doesn't like to downgrade the spl. (My own recent experience possibly coincidence, possibly not..... last week I tried flashing o2 1.72 rom with aim of removing magldr and resetting everything. Imagine my horror when it rom update failed on me.... I manually changed 2.08.hspl to 1.42.0000 with hspl2, and then the 1.72 rom flashed no problem.)

1 enter bootloader,

2 connect USB

3 hspl2, choose 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000

4 from HTC.com, choose region UK, support, downloads, updates, find a rom that says its for t mobile, the same section will have roms for o2, orange, wwe (for examples), this doesn't mean T-Mobile.com, you wont find compatible roms there. So long as you use YOUR serial number, the HTC site will only let you download compatible roms, so if it says no to the t mo rom then it means your phone is unbranded and you should go for the default wwe rom instead.

Flash that, usb is fine, job done.

[Thunderbolt General] Taykiin:
Hello Everyone,

I'm fairly new to the forums as a poster, but have always lurked around to find out the latest and greatest about whatever phone I have. Now it's the TBolt, and I think I have read every single thing out there about how to conserve battery etc. etc. etc. as I've been dissatisfied with the stock battery until now. I've always been a huge supporter of Juice Defender and have ran that with much success over the last year or so. With the TBolt it seems as it really isn't necessary as I'll explain.

Everyone uses there phones differently and I understand that and after much testing with all the various roms/kernels out there, I've came to one conclusion. Das_Bamf 1.5 and Adryn Kernel 4.4.2 with ONDemand set at 245 MHz while sleeping that's it. I'm in a 4 LTE area but really don't need it so I always run 3g "when I need it on" (market updates, navigation, web browsing, videos etc...). So here's what I've had most success with...I don't run any app killers, juice defender, etc any longer. I stick with the brightness about 1/4 of the way down manually set, auto sync gmail and weather (for sense) that's it. I have the HTC widget for data (Mobile) widget set on my homescreen along side my vibrate widget. Seeing that you don't need data for text messages and or phone calls I leave it off 24/7 unless I need it, then I will turn on mobile for whatever I need (almost instantly 3G or 4 LTE comes on) and whenever I'm done I just switch it off.

Whenvever I'm home, I switch over to wifi if I need to but always leave data off. Over the holiday weekend I ran my phone right at 2 days on single charge on the stock battery with moderate use with phone calls, texts, web browsing, and market updates etc...This may be a no-brainer, but honestly I never really thought of just turning data off all the time instead of having Juice Defender or some other app work in the backround turning 3 or 4 G on and off thus making your battery lose juice. It makes sense, and I've finally been satisfied with the outcome of this simple idea. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks! i.e. Today about 30 minutes of talk time, 4 emails read and responded to, some web browsing, and a few text messages. Off the charger at 7 am and I'm at 91% now at 2 pm
[Thunderbolt General] mokitaco:
the enter key is your friend
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Your right that all phones are different, as are there users. You are running the absolute bare-bone of your features and thats why you are getting good battery. Having data off all day would increase battery life tremendously, probably more so than setting your governor profile to 245MHz when screen off but most people use their smartphones to retrieve data throughout the day.

Glad to hear that you found a way to make your phone work for your needs tho :D
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
My supervisor might have an issue if I leave my data off all day and didn't get push emails, meeting requests, etc. :)

Different strokes for different folks for sure.

I refuse to put this thing in 3G when I'm at home or work.

I live/work in 4G.

This isn't NASCAR, I feel no need for a restrictor plate.

[Thunderbolt General] 4Gallovermyface:
If I was going to put the Tbolt in 3g then I'd just go back to my fascinate which lasted 2+ days with everything on 24/7.

The only reason I deal with this Tbolt is the 4g... which I believe iswhat kills the battery.

[Atrix 4G General] varunj:
I'm new to the Atrix and generally to the world of Android, so a bit over-cautious so I don't screw up my phone.

Anyways, I wanted to know how to run the webtop and HDMI mirroring hacks with Gingerblur.

Here's what I've done:

- Unlocked the SIM

- Rooted with GladRoot

- Installed Tenfar's CWM recovery

- Installed Gingerblur 1.3

Now, how do I actually use the options that Gingerblur provides to do the above hacks. I've downloaded the zips and placed them on my SD, but haven't installed it.

Should I do it from the phone somehow (how?), or do I use Tenfar's CWM recovery app again and do it in the same way I installed Gingerblur?

Also, on a side note, how do I upgrade to Gingerblur 2.0? Just install over 1.3?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] thatoneguy247:
My understanding is that you don't want to run the hdmi mirroring and webtop hacks at the same time. I might be incorrect about that, but I updated to gingerblur 2.0 and disabled hdmi mirroring in build.prop in order to have the webtop.
[Atrix 4G General] varunj:
Thanks thatoneguy. Could you just briefly tell me:

1. Why aren't you supposed to run both at the same time?

2. When you upgraded to Gingerblur 2.0, did you just use the normal installation procedure, or did you install Gingerblur 1.3 first?
