the first screen is the lock screen then it goes to the select language screen. then it tries to call *228 and it cannot activate because i am out of the country.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I see now. VZW activated mine when I was in store, so I didn't see this portion. It's different from my D2G. Looking to see if I can figure a way around it real quick.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaythagod:
If you could I would appreciate it alot. I have been racking my brain for days.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Does the phone try to do the activation phone call at all? I tried it three times, and ended the call all three times, and it allowed me to bypass activation. I can try to do a video if you'd like.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaythagod:
It does try. But for some reason it will not bypass. If your phone has been activated before then it works fine. But since i havent had it activated I cant bypass it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Learn something new every day. Odd that it works like that. Sorry for getting your hopes up. Those are the only things I can think of.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaythagod:
The only way for anyone to see what I am talking about is to do a master reset on the phone. If anyone does it and it works please post a video so I can see what I may be doing wrong. Thanks to all that are trying to assist.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Master reset, as in factory reset? If it's different, and you can point me to how, I'll go ahead and do it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaythagod:
The easiest way to do it is to hold the power button and hit restart. Once the unit is off hold the volume down key and a white screen appears. Factory reset is the 3rd option I believe so just use the volume key down and hit the power button. It takes a few minutes to reset.

Droid 2 activation screen bypass

Click activate, then hit back key while in the activation call until you are back to the starting screen.

Hit next and skip on each screen WHILE ON THE ACTIVATION CALL. Since you are already on the call, the phone will allow you to bypass the activation screen.

I work for Verizon and I just did this about 15 minutes ago so I am quite sure that it works. I just figured I should post this for the next person that goes looking.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] porrasman:
I have the same problem with my DINC2

Hi, I've been trying with all the methods posted here and nothing, I'm in Mexico and I can't bypass this activation screen. Can somebody else help us with this? Thanks a lot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] traclimb:
I did it twice with mine this way but for some reason outside of the country it still does not bypass THis is needed for anyone to use DINC2 flashing roms, kernals etc. etc. while not in vzw coverage. Your method works but when outside coverage your back to try again instead of next.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mirbekatabekov:
Just found a way out.

Reboot into recovery by holding power and vol. down and do a factory reset.

The phone will never ask for activation
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniel_irias:
I have the same problem!

I'm out of the USA. I'm in Honduras and Verizon is not here!

I've tried reboot into recovery doing a factory reset but the phone still asking fot the activation.

I tried to flash a new ROM but i can't. My phone is S-ON and the S-OFF method explained at this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219246 don't work for me.

I'm sure that the phone is not In Debuggin Mode.

So... WE NEED TO SKIP THAT ACTIVATION SCREEN!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniel_irias:
JAJAJAJAJA

ACTIVATION SCREEN PASSED

I've passed that F*#$ activation screen:

1. Before make the activation call Hold Pressed the Power Button

2. Set the phone to the Airplane Mode ON

3. Turn off the phone with the airplane mode ON

4. Turn ON the Phone and made the activation call

5 While the activation call Press the Back Key at the bottom of the phone

6. Press home Key

7. Try again the activation call

8. Press Skip Activation
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shef692003:
It turned out someone to bypass activation
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shef692003:
Yes and its not as simple as you think it is...

I just purchased today from some D-bag on craigslist a Dinc2 to take to simple mobile... not knowing that i will only be able to use EVDO from them not 3G...

in any case the point is to get a phone number NAM set and a different area code.

for this feat you will need:

>a data cable:

look in the box ur phone came in or something... or borrow one.

>the HTCDIAG drivers:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

>a working computer:

i dunno just get one, everyone has one nowadays...

>CDMA workshop FULL:

either cracked and stuff should do, google it and find a torrent or something.

now follow these simple steps:

-during activation go to emergency to pull the dialer and dial ##3424## and SEND to set the phone to HTCDIAG mode.

-once in diag mode, plug the phone in and set up the downloaded drivers.

-check under device manager and com ports to see which com port ur phone is using.

-run CDMA workshop.

-set up for the COM port ur phone is using and unlock with SPC 000000.

-after that i believe the field partaining to watever ur phone number is currently should be 0000005389, change it to any phone number, even ur google number will do even in NAM2.

-set the MCC to another international code like... 452? i mean i used 452 so watever.

-now set CDMA workshop to write.

-reboot phone and that should bypass the activation, it did it for me.

also notes, antiviruses will register most cracked versions of CDMA workshop as malware... its not, most people CANT disable their antiviruses like AVG, so you can also opt for torrents like CDMA tools that contain QPST, now QPST works just as good too, you just gotta run the configuration to select the COM port your phone is set to and run the programming to set ur NAM and MCC.

QPST is not a walk in the park but if u pay close attention it works a lot like CDMA workshop, its got an SPC button with the 000000 code preset and all, gotta make sure u read from phone before u do anything else. once u get that all setup reboot the phone and it should bypass that *228 screen.

also for you since ure overseas and all that crazy stuff, try to call verizon back for an unlock code, go to menu settings>security>disable sim card security will ask you for the unlock code which verizon will provide, and now just run with it see how it works for ya. it should work.

also if u wanna set it to GSM mode go to settings>call and its gotta have an option for switching to GSM mode, make sure u switch to GSM dual or watever. should get the job done.

everyone else in america trying to get this down, it worked for me with simple mobile, no 3G available for this phone because of the band it operates on, AT&T should work with the 3G. good luck everyone, PM me with questions.

ALSO I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PHONE BRICKING, do this at ur own risk.

[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
When it says leave the device off for 24 hours, is that before or after you put the shield on? I can't see why it'd be before, but just curious.

Also, anyone have any special warnings before I apply this thing?
[Acer Iconia A500] butterflygirl:
it's after you put it on to let it cure. It's going to feel weird spraying liquid on your screen to set the protector, but it does work. I've only used the Zagg on the body part of my devices, it seemed to "sticky" for the screen for me. I generally like the Zagg shield. I've had one on the body of my Archos A5IT for over a year. I might try it on the Acer screen.

edit: oh... and just realize you have time to play with it for the first few minutes to get everything smoothed out and a lot of the tiny bubbles will disappear as it sets, but after you get it set, you can't take it off and reposition it the next day.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Went ahead and slapped it on. Yea, I took a moment to align the camera hole and then squeegeed it on. A couple of microbubbles, but they state that will disappear as it cures.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Now to poke around on my gtab while this thing cures.

I saw this today @bb, I had it in my hand but put it back. Is it worth $30? Does it cut down on glare at all?

Worth. every. penny. no joke.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Muqali, how did it work out?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Care to explain why? Does it solve glare issue? Fingerprints? Do you sacrifice any display quality?
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
Cuts glare dramatically, fingerprints greatly reduced. I think the display quality is marginally subdued. Make sure you put it on correctly and get the bubbles out - the wetter the better.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikldom:
works great here

I bought my tab at a full best buy store.. they did not have screen protectors.. Not even the tab on display.

I took it into a best buy mobile site and paid the 31 bux for the screen protector, but I went ahead and paid them 14.99 to install it.. I figured, what the hell, I just paid 480 for it (after tax), so another 45 bux is worth it.

took only about 1 day for it to fully cure and the last little micro line to come out. other than it is a little tactile orange peel feel to it (all zaggs have this), and your finger may drag a little, it is well worth it.

Let the finger prints get on the shield and not your screen.. just wipe them off.

I love the tablet!
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
I'm loving it, it might be a bit better glarewise, but not much. The big thing for me is I don't feel like I'm touching my filthy fingers on a pristine piece of virgin glass anymore. I don't have to wash my hands every 30m of tablet use.

I never got a protector for my Viewsonic Gtablet and never got a scratch. Same usage patterns with the A500 and I got a small scratch 3 days in. Returned it to best buy for an exchange and got the protector this time. Dunno if the crystal is different in the 2 models or I just got unlucky with the A500, but there you go.
[Acer Iconia A500] Daciple:
I use it on all of my devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikldom:
never turned my on, or took off factory protector until

I was pretty clear I wanted/needed a screen protector.

I carried the thing into the box into the mobile site to have them install the protector. I did not take the factory protector off, I let them do it..

I really like the protector, but, it can be a fingerprint magnet, but it wipes off easy enough.
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
I thought I read that the A500 has Corning Gorilla Glass. Does that mean it's less likely to break, but still susceptible to scratching?
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
it's actually the other way around.

It will break easier than it should scratch.

Gorilla Glass shatters like crazy if you drop somethign on it (i saw it happen).

Day to day scratches should not happen. I don't want to test that theory, mind you.

I don't have a protector on it yet, not sure if i will.

The feel of naked glass is just sooo pleasing. :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] hurrpancakes:
This thing has such a great display, I don't want to subdue it at all with a screen protector. My phone has gorilla glass as well, and I've dropped that from 3 feet onto concrete multiple times (on accident), and the display is still flawless, so I am confident I won't get any scratches on this.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
Zagg protectors are different depending on which device they are used.

The protector for the A500 feels pretty rubbery and is very "orange peel-y" whereas the Zagg on my wife's iPad is a lot smoother in both respects. It's so much easier to glide your finger over the Zagg on the iPad than it is on the A500, I might replace the A500 one with one from the iPad!

Both protectors produce a light shimmery effect and definitely reduce the wow factor on both screens so that's a disappointment but they both greatly reduce glare and fingerprints which is a big plus.

Unfortunately, it's a set of compromises you have to accept when using them.

When running speedtest.net on my computer I get around 10 mbps download, and around 9.5 mbps on rooted stock rom.

but whenever i try a gingerbread ROM, i.e oxygen, CM7, redux 1.2, etc with ALL radios...i get around 6.5 mbps sometimes 1mbps with other radios.

I have tested this many times, and always get a consistent speed over 9mbps

this also affects HSDPA speed (slow ping, and sudden speed increase/rapid decrease)

Can anyone confirm this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigred85:
G'evening guys,

got a little bit of a problem here. My (european) Samsung Galaxy S is screwed. As soon as I boot it up, it loads a custom flashed TWLauncher which immediatly crashes. I can click the message away, but then after a few vibrations it will crash again. I can put it in Kies Mode, but I can't get Kies on Win to start some kind of recovery.

If I try to get into the bootloader, I'm only gonna see the default Samsung bootloader. I tried to push an update.zip on the phone, but it would not install due to some kind of signature errors.

Story first:

1. Rooted it with Superoneclick v1.4

2. Installed Recovery Manager. Not sure if some kind of recovery has been installed, at least none permanent.

3. Updated TWLauncher with SGS Tools in Flash

4. Did a factory wipe

I already tried loading a custom firmware via Update.zip and searched for an official update.zip, but didn't found one.

Also tried to push an older TWLauncher via adb, but this failed as I couldn't use su.

So, does anybody have a clue on how to solve this? Or will the only way to fix it be a send-in to Samsung?

Alright buddy, I agree sounds like you need to reflash a new rom.

Check out this link. By no means am I ordering you to flash darky's rom (even though it is bloody brilliant) It's a good guide for using odin.

If you follow it down to part 2 of the guide then you will have a basically stock Gingerbread with a few tweaks to make it a better experience.

Be sure to read it carefully as some of it isn't necessarily for you.

It's only a BRICK if the device is completely unrecoverable. This isn't even a soft-brick... the launcher just crashed.

Flash a new rom with ODIN;

Odin will work; just make sure you've got the drivers installed.
