[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
No. It is locked. If it was never used, then it could never be unlocked (someone would need to unlock it). If you are planning to use it in Europe, it would be better if you got an HTC Gratia which you could say is the Europe version of the Aria.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC-Aria:
Should I get the unlock code in this case ?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Yes, you will need an unlock code to use the Aria in Europe with other carriers' SIM cards.

I am new to Non OTA ROMS and cooked ROMS...I have the original droid and would like to try some of the new ROMS that are out that have Gingerbread. Could someone give me a quick overview of how this is done safely, such as backing up factory roms and rooting and everything invloved with such a task. I want to be very careful not to be making any bricks out of my droid. If there is already a thread that is phone specific that goes over this, I would be happy to read through that so as not to make someone type a whole bunch of stuff that someone has already done the work on. :D Thanks for your help in advance and I look forward to enjoying the benefits of a modded phone!

Thanks

Copied all my songs onto internal memory, music player says that it cant play the file types, they are all mp3's...however poweramp works fine and plays all of them. Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jnovello:
I don't know why you would put media on the internal memory. I have 8Gb of mp3's on my external sd and have no issues with the stock music player and Power Amp also works well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blakeab2018:
It has 16GB internal..what else would you do with 16gb's of space, besides media? Anyhow I rebooted and it started working fine, so I guess I should of tried that before ever posting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
well at least now we know reboot after copying media files to internal memory. lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
I think it has to rescan the media card after all those songs are put into the internal memory. rebooting forces rescanning.

ALSO you guys should download Music PLayer 3.0 beta from Google. It works on Froyo but not on the JVB JVH cappy's hahahaha... its a nice bonus
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aaronsv425:
Having same issues, with a twist.

I like custom ringtones. So, I did what I have done for all previous android phones. I placed two folders (ringtones and notifications) on the 16 gig internal memory partition. I set up my custom ringtone via settings and imported my music. All was well. I tested out the ringtone and had several phones calls. About two hours later though, I looked at my phone and noticed I had some missed calls. That was odd, as the phone was sitting right next to me. I went to settings and none of my custom ringtones would work, just the stock ones. I also tested out music player and it said invalid format for every one of my mp3's. Doubletwist simply said the file could not be found. The only one that would play them was Moboplayer. I rebooted the phone and everything started working again. So, I thought it was a fluke. Turns out, another 6 hours later, same thing happened again. I had added no new files, etc. My custom ringtones and mp3's simply quit working and again, only Moboplayer would play my mp3's. This is all fixed by a reboot though. However, I shouldn't have to reboot every few hours because I'm afraid my ringtones will quit working. Any ideas? Sorry this was so long.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gumbo1919:
This started doing the exact same thing to me a couple of days ago. All of my music, videos, an customer ringtones stop playing. I have tried several different music players and they all receive an error that they cannot play the music type. Restart the phone, and bam, everything plays normally. Later in the day, it comes right back. Any suggestions?

[Thunderbolt General] oldnavyguy:
Greetings,

My thunderbolt was experiencing random reboots since the OTA and now has a new problem it will shut itself off randomly. I'm stock and am getting really frustrated. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I really don't want to get an Assurion referb from Verizon as a replacement or send mine off to be serviced. Anyone else with this problem? I have tried turning LTE on and off with LTE switch from the market and also have tried enabling Rev A with the ##778# edit menus.
[Thunderbolt General] RossLH:
My T-Bolt has turned itself off twice now, while on the charger. Missed my morning alarms and showed up to work late. Unlike my D1, the alarm does not sound when the phone is off.
[Thunderbolt General] jamere:
T-bolt turns itself off after OTA update

My T-bolt turned itself off during the first night, after the OTA update. Had full battery charge. Completely stock. No problems since (Keeping fingers crossed). Will report back if it happens again. Would also like to hear of others having this problem. :confused:
[Thunderbolt General] tiktik627:
after the latest update, ive been experiencing the SMS problem (cant send out has to reboot it again), and randomly shut off :(

Or is it just my thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
I have had the same problem, Couple of reboots and missed my alarms for work one day as well since it turned itself off. I never had a reboot on custom roms until i updated my radio to this new OTA radio. Hopefully this new radio from the gingerbread radio that leaked will work better. if not anyone know if flashing the old radio on top of the new one will take me back to my old setup?
[Thunderbolt General] mikec86:
Stock, not rooted, no issues until update. Now phone reboots and drops data. Anyway to get back to original software?
[Thunderbolt General] TheRealDex:
I am rooted, but I am also experiencing random shutdowns of my phone. The battery is not dead. The phone does not restart itself, but simply shuts itself off, without even trying to come back on.
[Thunderbolt General] Hyper4mance2k:
I never got an OTA. My phone reboots and I missed class bcause it powered off while plugged in one night too. It powers off at least 3 times a week.. Totally stock excapt for launcher pro...
[Thunderbolt General] Busphan:
Just had this problem last night. Up until now i have only had the reboots, but last i went to pick up my phone and it was off. Of course i thought it was dead until it turned on, lol.
[Thunderbolt General] Topher227:
same thing has happened twice to me -- luckily i wake up early on work days regardless of the alarm....
[Thunderbolt General] KDKobes:
Most random reboots are caused by the newer LTE radio (1.13.605.7)...Seems to be exactly that too...random...some have issues some don't. I think it has to do with location/network in the area. I would get random reboots until I downgraded the LTE radio to 1.12.605.6 of course this requires the phone to be rooted. Good luck!

If you don't like WinMo at all just go to Nand Android. If you can flash an RUU you can get it on Nand pretty easily. Then you never have to look at the silly WinMo again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avl_avl_avl:
Sometimes you just have to try again, if it is stuck on green htc, pull the battery and start over. If that doesn't work you could try reformatting your SD with the panasonic formatting tool, don't forget to backup everything first. Or at last maybe some files from the zip got damaged, you could try re downloading the ROM. I'm using the same build and runs excellent.

When you have a problems like that you just go wipe winMo off your phone and use my guide to install Nandroid (Ultimate Droid if you ask me)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Does american build create a data image? Or did you supply one with it, or it came with one? If it creates one, then delete the unfinished one, look at the startup txt to see how much space is required, eg.data_size=512, means you need more than 512 worth of space, if you do have it then retry to run the build.

If you supplied one with it or it came with one, redownload the build, and replace the old one with the new one, or you can try insert a data img from another similar build, a fresh one I mean.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it seemed to be the most appropriate... AFAIK Netflix streaming has never worked on a broadband connection on the island because they're identified as foreign or outside of the continental US or whatever. However, it seems that for Netflix's purpose, a Sprint connection from PR still looks like any other connection from within the US; probably because of the way it's routed. It's kinda odd considering other services like Google Voice can still make the distinction, but I'm sure there's dozens of way to do this filtering (for instance, Tivo also thinks my DVR is in the US if I tether it to my phone).

So what good is any of this knowledge? Well, the Netflix app will stream to your phone just fine over 3G; even tho it'll flash a region warning on wifi. I hear your now tho, what's the point of that? 3G streaming looks pretty bad, specially in areas with low signal where you're lucky to get 400 kbps...

Well, I'm not done, otherwise this post would be rather worthless wouldn't it? ;) Open that oh-so-easily fooled Netflix app (seriously, it took them this long to release an app that merely discriminates amongst phones by build.prop?), start streaming over 3G, turn on Wifi, enjoy the improved quality as the phone starts to stream over Wifi without any location checks. That's all there is to it! I was able to pause and resume after switching to Wifi with no issues. I imagine it might get fixed eventually, or not, but for now it works.

I haven't tested to see if their site is just as easily fooled by a computer tethered to my phone, but since you can't handoff between different connections there quite as smoothly I guess it's kinda moot... I haven't been a Netflix subscriber for very long, just started testing it out. Frankly I'm kinda disappointed in their online catalog of movies and shows, over half the stuff I first searched for wasn't available (Mad Men, How I Met Your Mother, several movies, etc.).

Netflix on my Tivo also works if I tether it to my phone but that's a hassle (on the Tivo's end) and again, Sprint 3G really isn't fast enough for smooth playback, at least where I live (near Buchanan base). Can't wait until 4G is deployed here...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
BTW Has anyone tested how Netflix app playback looks on a TV if you output it over HDMI with Full HDMI? I'll probably give it a shot later. Altho I might just drop Netflix and go back to renting off Redbox to be honest.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] busventinc:
Well I am from the south of the island and I can tell you with the latest release of it that pretty much shut down the Wifi idea tried it and did not stream at all but for those on the island I recommend an app called sensorly you can get it on the regular market it shows you where you get your signal on a map like Google maps it gives you all the signal ranges and ladies and gents they just recently started to test 4G in two areas only San Juan and ponce and to tell you that the app worked flawlessly is an understatement cause i drove from arroyo to ponce and once I reached the sprint store there I was able to get 4G when I walked into the store asked one of the CS reps and he said they are in the testing faze and once that is done they will do a roll-out with commercials and advertisements so good news for all us island folk :) so with netflix to be continued...:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
The netflix app hasn't been updated since I posted this, it should still work... You have to switch from 3G to Wifi once you're already streaming something.

Sorry was supposed to be in "Market Place"

Got a Brand New G2x for sale.

Im not gonna go and list the specs for this phone because chances are, if your looking at this post, you already know how much of a beast it is.

I bought this phone brand new from TMO the Saturday before Mothers Day.

Brand New Tmobile G2x for sale... Still in box

Thought my wife (cough..me ;) ) would love it... but long story short I got her the Sidekick instead.

This phone is brand new... It was only used for about 10 minutes from when I setup her Account Info. I have everything that came in the original box as well as the original box. Its never been rooted or had a custom recovery flashed. Original screen protector is still on the cell.

Id prefer to sell this to someone in or close to NYC but am flexible.

Depending on the offer, I might accept a trade and cash

well, based on my understanding (I might be wrong) but I believe it is possible to downgrade from your phone via sd. Again, I might be wrong, but if that is possible then you might be able to achieve root once you do the downgrade. Otherwise, maybe you can borrow a friend's PC to do the downgrade.
