[HD7 General] DavieGee:
My girlfriend owns a X10 device, And Sony Ericsson are one of the worst for their customer support and updates going. (Motorola IMO being the worst, Ex-Milestone User Here)

HTC's Customer support is stunning, You can tell this from them locking their bootloaders on the Evo 3d. Thunderbolt. Sensation and Incredible S. HTC's customers replied in an outroar, and within 2 months they have decided to re-unlock their bootloaders, which proves they love their customers. And not one HTC phone from now on will be locked.

The X10's Are an ok phone, but its let down by the laggy Timescape UI added onto android, I believe in 1 Android Skin, Sense (The best of the skins) or A completely stock build of android. Touchwiz from samsung is ok, but its not quite there.

The locked bootloader is a let down too (Sure theres the kexec method) but its not completely open, so if you fancied a custom build rom, it would be suspectable to reboots etc if you used one. The HD7 has a unlocked bootloader, so when we get an android port, it will be fully custom and will have no reboots :)

Both have the same processor, but WP7 really takes advantage of the speed, I've used a HTC Desire with this processor on sense Android 2.2 and a HD7, and personally the speed is majorly different on each phone.

But i'm not biased to WP7, i've owned many android phones and I love the OS. Just Sony ericsson android phones are riddled with bugs and not one works just right. But I can't wait to replace my girlfriend's X10, She will be getting a 2nd gen windows phone, Because whatever people say, WP7 has been the nicest suprise of the year for me :)
[HD7 General] sandrinopi:
I pre-ordered an HTC Sensation some days ago.

The HD7 will be put back into his box until WP7 becomes a more interesting experience.

I also would not step back to an old Android device like X10.

How about put a ROM on your SD card and flash it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
rule #1) do not delete the factory keyboard, for any reason.

The only thing you can do is like Low&Behold said.

or if you can ADB install apps, or have a file manager i can send you a keyboard that i have on my phone.

Can someone please help. I went to the sticky thread to get all info to install android

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948

My system information is:

ROM Version 3.14.531.1

Radio Version 2.15.50.14

I started with loading HSPL on my phone being my radio is 2.15.50.14 which is a requirement for HSPL4. When I install HSPL I connect my phone via sync and the computer detects it and runs through the install. It even shows the "We Hacked It" screen on my phone as its supposed to but when I hold volume down and the power button my phone doesn't show HSPL 2.08, I only see SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE

When I tried to continue loading Magldr from there I get an error and I can't go any farther. Can someone please help, how do I get HSPL to actually load which will allow me to load Magldr.

Thanks

[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
What error do you get?

Try manually going into bootloader by holding down the Volume Down button and then powering on phone (still holding volume down).

Then plug in USB and load up MAGLDR DFT flasher.
[HD2 General] obdzyn:
Thanks TheATHEiST

However I can't get to the bootloader page. I corrected my previous post when I hold the volume button and power button down I get the four color screen that only shows the SPL version I have. I don't know why the HSPL flash doesn't work.
[Touch HD General] LordElrond:
Hello,

anyone knows how to make the HTC Blackstone "look like" another telephone (in my case, a Motorola V3) when seen by Bluetooth devices?

I have a Mercedes Comand UHI telephone cradle with SAP for Motorola V3, that works even without physical connection to the telephone by Bluetooth pairing, but obviously when you attempt to pair it with another telephone it prevents you from doing this.

Is it possible to "copy" the Bluetooth device name of a V3 to the Blackstone?

Actually, I'm not very glad to give 280 extra euros to Mercedes for a more compliant BT cradle :D

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
the question is, how does the car know, what phone is trying to pair?

is it locked to 1 motorola v3, then it is probably the mac address.

you could try and simply try another bluetooth device name, but i doubt it would be that simple (since, on the one hand, everybody knows how to do that with any phone and on the other hand, changing a v3's name would stop it from being compatible).

and changing the actual bluetooth pairing id to make it appear as another phone type is (if possible) not only very hard to do, but also probably an fcc violation.

so instead, you should have a look, whether you can do something about the car part of this issue, probably, there are other people out there with a similar issue, that have any incompatible phone, probably more than there are in the blackstone section here.
[Touch HD General] LordElrond:
The car knows what telephone you are trying to pair with probably by somehow reading from bluetooth the "model name" that you can read in "device information>identity" (I'm sorry if they aren't correct, I have the Italian software so I don't really knows how that menus are translated).

The MAC address is not important, you can pair any number of phones as long as they are V3!

My SGS does not boot and does not enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode though. I suspect it happened after I removed some files from SD card.

Can I access SD card in download mode?

How can I use download mode to restore firmware and the recovery?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
u have to reflash your firmware. if u get only downloadmode working u can only reflash your device.

try a custom kernel first. if this wont work, then flash new firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcho:
Strange.from download mode you can only flash firmware.I think u can use adb and connect your phone to computer.try little search on topics don't rush first read carefully.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
@malcho

adb wont work in download mode. only in cwm and after successful boot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhab:
So I understand I need to connect to PC in download mode and then use some software like ODIN to flash a ROM? Correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
thats right.

may u can flash via kies, if u want a stock rom from samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcho:
I didn't know that info about adb.Thanks for info:)

malcho@juwe4.3.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhab:
Well, it's strange but looks better. Even before I did anything with ODIN the phone booted into the new ROM but I still cannot get into recovery. Seems like ROM installation procedure deleted something essential to run the recovery.

So now I have the download mode and Android working.

I am trying not to make any sudden moves so that I won't lose to ability to boot the ROM. What would be the best way to restore ClockworkMod recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profalbert:
What ROM are you running now?

From a running stock-ROM the easiest way is to flash some custom kernel that includes CWM.

Here's a list http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966646

For 2.2.1-based ROM I prefer Speedmod.

For 2.3.3-based, choose your own ;)

edit: There are some ROMs/kernels that can only enter recovery when USB-debugging is on.

I've just switched from Darky's 9.2 to PilotX with 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813damian@linux-hip3#Beta4.2_1 kernel.

From what you are saying I understand CWM recovery needs Linux kernel to run. I thought it's a stand alone boot-loader independent from the OS and kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhab:
I installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS which comes with CWM recovery via ODIN with no effect. I still cannot reach recovery mode.

My phone came with 3e recovery which I downgraded to 2e (I don't remember how I did it then). Is it possible it has something to do with the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
You should always flash to stock when you have an issue.

You can also use Darky's resurrection (at least, part A: Pit with re-partition)

Then flash the original firmware (from samfirmware.com)

Hi there,

I have the same issue.

Am running the carrier ROM (Telstra - Australia), on a HTC Desire GSM. I rooted it using unrevoked 3, and the phone is working fine, except for the Clockwork Mod recovery.

When I boot into recovery mode, I'm not able to load custom roms or make nandroid backups. It just gives errors about not being able to mount CACHE or MISC partitions.

I tried updating clockwork to 3.0.0.5, but that failed to resolve it, as did another go with unrevoked. I can't even do factory wipes! Cache wipe was also ineffective.

Is there possibly a problem with the /recovery partition? Any way to correct it? I don't have s-off, as alpharev fails with some error about expecting unary operators. Otherwise I'd try pushing a new recovery image through with fastboot.

I've checked every thread where this is mentioned, no resolutions yet that don't involve using fastboot. Some help would be nice.

DAYTON, OH — Verizon Wireless announced today that it is bringing the world’s first large-scale 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to Dayton and Springfield on June 16. Residents with 4G LTE smartphones, laptop modems and hot spots in the Dayton/Springfield area including the communities of Trotwood, Englewood, Centerville and Beavercreek will be able to take advantage of speeds up to 10 times faster than the company’s 3G network.

“How significant is 4G LTE? Our advanced technology is changing the way we all work and play,” said Mark Frazier, president–Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia Region. “Today, it gives us the ability to move large files faster and enjoy smooth mobile video conferencing. But, this is only the beginning, and the opportunities with 4G LTE are limitless.”

In real-world, fully-loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink. Verizon Wireless began introducing the globe’s first large-scale LTE network on December 5, 2010, covering more than 110 million Americans, and is quickly expanding national coverage, currently offering service in 55 metropolitan areas. The company is rapidly building out its 4G LTE network, and is on course to deliver 4G LTE to its entire 3G wireless footprint by the end of 2013.

As the first wireless company in the world to broadly deploy game-changing 4G LTE technology, Verizon Wireless is committed to building its 4G network with the same performance and reliability for which it has long been recognized. Verizon Wireless’ consistent focus on reliability is based on rigid engineering standards and a disciplined deployment approach year after year. The company’s 700 MHz spectrum gives Verizon Wireless specific advantages with 4G, including a contiguous, nationwide network license.

Visit www.verizonwireless.com/lte for more information about Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network.
