My 1st android was the eris. Fell in love with sense at first site. I rooted because I knew the limitations the device had and thought it can be pushed further through 3rd party developer support. Then came the incredible. I rooted because I was impatient in the anticipation of froyo. Overclocking, titanium backup and newer sense features kept me happy especially with the advent of miui. Then I craved stable desireZ Ports. Now I have the t bolt and have all the features of sense 2 and haven't struck the nerve to root yet. I'm happy with it currently. I might root eventually n try cm7. There just hasn't been a rom that itching to try just yet. I love the htc skins. I use juice defender to save battery life along with switching off 4g. I'm good for now.
[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
Besides looking cool, why buy an M5 if your only going to drive it like its a 528? capesh
[Thunderbolt General] qman66:
this is my first htc phone so i wanted to try sense just to see how it is and absolutely hated it. blur is much better imo. had to make the move to cm7 and took me a week to get 4g working but its great now. i hate it when i see android phones with these skins. i put cm7 on my gfs mytouch 4g and that phone is absolutely amazing. if u dont want to deal with many bugs just make sure u get a stable rom. its a hundred times better than stock. u have to remember manufacturers arent trying to give u the 100% best performance. they are obviously going to care more about promoting their own skin and apps.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
Plain AOSP is much better than both ;)
[Thunderbolt General] Mr. Transistor:
Same here, was glad VZW extended the free mobile hotspot another month.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I'm staying stock because I think the phone is good stock. I had the phone for about three hours before I rooted and flashed a custom Rom and kernel. I'll probably root it again on the future, but for now ill just stay stock.

BTW, the guy at the Verizon store I went too told me that my area will get LTE in a few months (they are testing it here now) and that I will get unlimited LTE for the next 2 years of my contract (when they flip the switch) because I'm "grandfathered" into it. So I thought that was pretty awesome.

[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
I can't blame anyone for staying stock. The custom ROMs are nice but they;re still sense based. But not rooting? I'm a pretty big fan of TiBackup...

And I'm sure you know to take what the VZW reps say with a grain of salt. I image we'll all get unlimited LTE as long as we're with VZW. That's how it's always been done with previous plan changes. But, until Verizon says it, nothing is for sure.
[Thunderbolt General] Hyper4mance2k:
1 word, warranty

I rooted my N1 and installed CM6.something and it fired my GPS. No matter what ROM I used it never worked again and HTC would not replace my phone because I rooted it.
[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
why not unroot, and take it back?
[Thunderbolt General] sprodigy:
Yeah, follow unroot procedure, flash stock rom on, no one is the wiser. ah well
[Thunderbolt General] lanwarrior:
Which ROM is this and if you installed it in your TB, does it really improve battery life DRAMATICALLY?

My phone is rooted but I have NOT install any custom ROM yet because I have NOT find one that CONSISTENTLY show it improve the battery life DRASTICALLY. This is my biggest gripe on the TB. I get MAX 5 hours of usage and standby combined.

I had my battery replaced twice by Verizon, so I know it's not defective battery. I don't install any background app, other than the monitoring app like Battery Widget. I don't even use IM app.
[Thunderbolt General] Tidbits:
There was only one method of rooting for a long while with the N1. It's obvious the phone was voided. When the second method came out that's when doing it your way worked.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
You need to look into some undervolted kernels my man!
[Thunderbolt General] Tidbits:
I run stock... I don't feel like rooting right now as there are no roms or themes that catch my eye yet. Eventually I'll root, but until then I am stock lol
[Thunderbolt General] angry_elk:
I'm waiting on CM7, to be honest.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I personally came from the Droid 2 (my first android phone) which I had rooted. I loved every second of it as it added so many functions and increased battery life. My girlfriend on the other hand had the same phone and just doesn't have the need to root it. She gets it to run all day (I personally have.never seen her phone die on her). She likes motoblur and has it setup the way she wants it so why switch (not like I haven't tried to get her to root). Honestly its an opinion thing I would hate to own a phone I don't have total control over while others just don't need or want to root.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
Have not rooted yet because the phone is fast enough out of the box and has plenty of ram/memory . Also I like the Sense OS and the "bloatware" doesn't slow my phone down .

When they come up with a a one click root like my Inc has I will consider it.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Not to be a downer but they probably wont. Obviously you are very content with your phone right now just wanted to let you know with the phone how it is it doesn't look good for one clicks.
[Thunderbolt General] lanwarrior:
Can you recommend one?
[Thunderbolt General] Atst44:
I am not rooted yet, as I have not been able to stay at my house for more than 10 minutes at a time, but I will root. Not just to say I am rooted. This phone comes with 20 programs I dont ever want to see in my app drawer. That alone is worth root!
[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
Bro. i'm using Imoseyon v2.4.6.. Getting fantasic battery life.. I use to get 5-6 hours of light usage/ stand by.

My phone's been up for 4 hours now, and i'm on 75%.. no joke

With Imoseyon v2.4.6, to configure it you need Terminal Emulator. Its very easy and self explantory.

However if you want even easier. you can just download a earlier version of his work. which uses SETCPU.. which is easier because it has graphic interface.

[Thunderbolt General] Chillerman:
Dude, I don't think you have to worry about unlimited LTE. You will always have that from what I understand. What you have to worry about is tethering. There will be plans for tethering data, not for data used on your phone. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Yeah. I have cable internet at home so I have no need to tether so I don't real care about that. I've read that they will start their full tiered data plans sometime this summer, so anyone who gets a contract or upgrades before that will get unlimited 4g.

I am thinking about rooting the phone again and using a debloated stock Rom with an undervolted kernel and see how I like that. Maybe its just because I came from a MOTO phone, by sense is so awesome in this phone.

[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
I'm still un-rooted because the only issue I have had with this phone is that the sense homescreen doesn't rotate/ landscape. That alone is not worth it IMO. That may change one day and i do appreciate all the hard work put in to make it possible.
[Thunderbolt General] techspecs:
Root all the way for me! I came from the Incredible and it's super simple root thanks to unrevoked but this method isn't hard. Really.
[Thunderbolt General] nswenson:
If you get the iGripe car dock the home screen will rotate to landscape. I was surprised when I docked it and saw it go landscape. I guess there is an extra pin in the connector that triggers the landscape mode.
[Thunderbolt General] shawncrobbins:
I purchased my phone and had it rooted the next day. I have never looked back. I am currently running a GB rom and am loving it. I recommend it to anyone with the time.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
A magnet in the dock is more likely.
[Thunderbolt General] ptdarwin:
I had an unrooted OG Droid til the day after Thunderbolt release day. I stayed unrooted for 2 weeks and was very unhappy with my battery life and the Bloatware (Blockbuster, City ID, Verizon, etc). I was getting 6 hours max without heavy use and all updating & syncing turned off except for gmail. (2 accounts). I do some messaging, a couple of peeks@FB, a couple of queries on the internet (5- 15 minutes total), about 20-30 minutes phone calls. My Droid would last with that usage about 10-12 hours.

So I rooted.

Liquid Thundersense then Das Bamf Remix. I prefer Bamf....

I started on Bamf 1.3 remix and currently run 1.6.3 with control freak 2.0 from adrynalyne. Right now I'm sitting 43% with 16hrs18mn usage.

That is the main reason I root. Rooting is not for everyone and to each their own. Das Bamf IS the most stable that I've tried and I'm keeping this ROM til they perfect their Gingerbread ROM and I'll flash that one.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
So I rooted again, and again I have returned to stock. I don't know if it's just me, but I find stock to be smoother. I also haven't noticed any improvement in battery life ( I have tried multiple sense kernels and multiple cpu settings).

I'm not saying what the devs here are doing is bad. In fact I'm very impressed with them. It's just a personal preference for me I guess.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
No I think this is discussed somewhere else here. Motorola has some kind of patent for the magnet trick so HTC uses their own micro USB connector with extra pins.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
I know when I set my phone on my Macbook Pro it goes landscape, as there is a big magnet in that spot to keep the lid closed.
[Thunderbolt General] mallen462:
I agree I rooted my phone within 4 hours of buying it (I wanted to see what stock offers first) rooting is not for everybody some people are just not technical whatever floats your boat rooted or not its still a good phone

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris378:
So i have done some research and i beleive the kernel that i flashed (Cant remeber which one it was) it has changed the driver in my phone to where no computer will recognize my phone. I have stock recovery but my phone is unlocked. So i am not able to fastboot or adb the phone to correct my mistake because no computer will recognize my phone. Question is, Is there anyway to change my kernel to stock through flashing an update.zip through stock recovery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wild1z:
Hi Chris,

I am not an expert buy have you tried terminal emulator? That might work but you may need to have a non stock recovery to do this. Hope that helps. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
How does the fake flash with CWM via Rom Manger work? Is it like the flash that's used with the Vibrant, where it's just an update.zip that's temp installed when booting into recovery? Or is it something different?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sryan1983:
Yes, it puts the update.zip onto the sdcard. If you get stuck in a bootloop, there is no way to recover other than doing a factory reset if you flash the recovery this way.

On the other hand, if you flash CWR through NVFlash, if you get into a bootloop, you can press Vol - and Power to access the recovery.

lol i actually traded my g2x for a mytouch

mytouch is way better imo

the only thing i miss is the 8mp camera but it dont make much difference lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
A straight trade? Isn't the G2x worth like double the MT4G?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Not worth double...MT4G is abt 450 and G2X 500 i think at tmo and 180 for MT4G contract and G2X 200 on . I mean the G2X has the Tegra dualcore so it's faster but 2 cores dont really work good on 2.2 software, it needs ginger to fully function(read somewhere). The 2nd Gen Dragon isn't as powerful as a dualcore 1GHz...Maybe if we get that 2.0GHz kernel we were discussing before then maybe it may stand a slight chance. This phone has a serious I/O issue that's noticeable on quadrant, its beat by the thunderbolt, desire hd, desire s, etc...It looses to the other phones with same internals which is odd. Try quadrant and phone struggles on I/O part, who knows why.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Ah, well, G2x's without contracts are still up around $500 right? I just bought a MT4G for $275 here on XDA and am sending my G2x back to T-Mo.
[Acer Iconia A500] banksia:
Overall, I do like the Acer case, which I have had for two weeks. Good protection and with easy access to most ports and controls.

It fits snugly, so there is little chance of the A500 sliding out when held in landscape mode.

Two flaws:

1) There is no opening for the microSD card. So, you will have to slide the A500 out of the case to get at the slot that holds the microSD card and Sim.

2) Be warned that the velcro tabs on the Acer case are in the wrong position and cover the hole for the microphone.

There are 3 holes on the case (close to the mic), but they are on the outside of the case.

(My skype calls were muffled until I figured this out.)
[Acer Iconia A500] 84z28:
Nothing on the acer case covers the mic. My wife has an an acer case on her a500 and everything thats said you can hear crystal clear.
[Acer Iconia A500] banksia:
>...everything thats said you can hear crystal clear.

Yes. That was also the case for me when using the Recorder and Voice search.

But, sound was muffled with Skype and Gtalk.

Did you try skype and/or Gtalk with and without the case?

Another thing that I noticed with both these applications is that the mic quality improved once I put on headphones when making calls. I.e using the A500 mic but external headphones to listen to the conversation. Otherwise, my voice was garbled.

Would be interested in hearing other folks experience with Skype and Gtalk.

Thanks.

Hi everyone

I would like to know if theres a way to install Windows or any other OS for HTC Magic.

Cuz i didn't find any tutorials for the HTC Magic. If anyone could help me that would be awesome.

Thanks for now ^^
[General Questions and Answers] TheATHEiST:
Here is the dedicated forum for the HTC Magic, Saphire, Mytouch 4G (They are all the same phone).

A simple page search for the word "magic" would have taken you straight to it.

There is no way to install windows on your device, however you should be able to install different versions or custom Android roms on it.

If you cant find anything here, It cant be done..

Probably just works with the GSM(2G) signal -which I always use-

[HD2 Accessories] motoi_bogdan:
the technical idea behind those stickers is real. the sticker itself is a thin copper foil. When hit by EM radiation it will provide a greater surface contact and will radiate the EM energy on it's own. It's a bit complicated, i cannot explain it in english.

However think of it like when you have a piece of metal placed near a magnet. Even if the piece of metal is not magnetic by itself it can become magnetized and will attract other pieces of metal by its own even if the original magnet was removed.
[HD2 Accessories] robrob777:
Good to hear that I'm not living a lie having those stickers. I knew that that weird design , which looks like aliens did it, has some engineering on it.

By the way, i have not try to improve my signal via software bc in my simple mind to do something that works you need to fool the phone to think it has always low signal, therefore forcing it to "radiate" more and improve my reception.

I have the phone in my pocket.. and I don't want a free vasectomy.
[HD2 Accessories] extrapurifier:
The functionality is "induced electromagenticity". The radio signal crosses the thin copper on sticker and induces current. This current reproduces voltage which beams signal again. Something like a relay functionality. ...for poor man :-)

[HD2 Accessories] JMG01:
Where exactly do you stick it? Under the battery?
[HD2 Accessories] robrob777:
No, it has to be close to the antenna so I placed in the plastic area where the "void" screw is and the sticker will cover a little of the sim, the hd2 antenna is around there. I didn't want to stick it(bc it interferes with the sim, etc) so I carefully placed and put some tape in the edges of the sticker so it wont move.

All this is under the metal battery door.

I see only comments about the sticker thing. Not about the flash. I really doubt the signal will be any better with the *.apk provided in above post. RIL tweaks seem to be the better choice because it depends very much on where you live (at least so it seems from other posts).
