[HTC Sensation] biohaz55:
I don't think they will be unlocked without strings, we have never had that. Don't forget all current HTC devices have been locked and have consequently been unlocked by many developers and not HTC. The big difference here is the way that they are locked, much more secure than previous.

We may get the ability to unlock and I hope we do but I don't think it will be official and thus not without strings.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Well I don't really care how we get an unlocked Sensation. If it comes via developers here I'll be just as happy. But given how HTC is trying to be difficult and then got my hopes up in talk about "reviewing" their policies. I'm at a point now where I'll take the best Sensation competitor once available on my carrier, if the Sensation is not unlocked by the time the competitor is available.

I'm not on contract. I have one of T-Mobile USA's older "no contract" plans, that is much cheaper monthly than their contract rates. So I have no problem paying full price for a device and given I'm going to pay a premium I don't want something that I can't fully customize. Since I have to pay in full outright, I want something I can do whatever I want with.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Even if HTC unlocks the Bootloader for the Sensation, T-Mobile will MAKE sure that the 4G version for their network is NOT. They do not want to deal with handset replacements due to idiots that don't know how to flash something on their phone. I"m sorry to say it brother cuz I'm in the same shoes as you, but you will never get an HTC unlocked boot loader so long as your on TMO USA.

You could, if you wanted to, switch to CrapT&T and get an SGSII. I think I read that it is the proper 3G bands for their network.

Either way, love that article!
[HTC Sensation] bfspider:
Nexus One and the Nexus S, on TMO, both have..... fastboot oem unlock ... Granted the NS is a Samsung phone, but, the point still applies...
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Actually, that point doesn't apply as those phones are NOT sold or supported by T-Mobile. If warranty return is required you would NOT go through T-Mobile. T-Mobile does, however, offer support via a service rep for general issues, but not for returns/warranty issues. I don't remember when I got my Nexus One if you did warranty returns through Google or HTC. Either way, it was not T-Mobile.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea and folks using the T-Mobile USA G2X already have it rooted and custom ROMs.

So the Sensation is setting the bar higher than others in terms of lock-down and being hard to crack.

If Samsung leaves it unlocked, I believe the Hercules will be sold that way by T-Mobile.

With the Sensation, I highly suspect the new "HTC Watch" service is part of the reason they've locked it down so much. Like with Google's new movie service and Blockbuster recently locking their app down from rooted devices. HTC may be catering to movie studios more than even carriers.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
Good observation there... bt personally i dont really care about Watch since im not gonna use it, def not gonna rent a movie for 4 dollars for 24hrs i believe it is...y do that when i can just watch movies like ive always done thru my sd card...i guess the only thing im curious to see is how the qHD 16:9 ratio actually looks..
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
This just posted on facebook:

HTC "There has been overwhelmi ngly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea, that's great news.

If the Sensation gets fully opened up I'll get one.

We'll see once true US version is released.
[HTC Sensation] IJS-T:
Well, as I've read it somewhere else on this forum, a few others on this forum were thinking: "I want to know if this also counts for shipped phones", so they had the guts to send Mr. Chou himself a e-mail, asking him if the sensation was going to be unlocked as well. His reply was that in the future, they will make sure the shipped phones also get a unlocked bootloader.(couldn't find the original post, but I'm quit sure the topictitle was something like: "Htc will no longer lock bootlead" or something down that line)
[HTC Sensation] intruda119:
Why dont they just add a counter like sgs2 has. Although its easy to reset, maybe they can find a more permanent solution. Modders/hackers know that we void our warranty with custom roms, rooting etc.

In my time reading forums I can somewhat understand where htc is coming from. So many noobs including myself until I got educated, do stupid things to there devices. When we cant figure out how fix them, we/they lie to these companies and try to get new/refurb devices.

I dont think HTC and others should lock their bootloaders. I do think that we as owners of these devices should be able to do as we please. But we all should be able to deal with whatever consequences companies choose.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisperwind:
I cannot sync anything with my computer after I installed Windows Server 2008(for the time being I am stuck with it). I installed Zune using the hack they provided on some website and it runs fine, but when I connect my phone it shows "Cannot recognize the phone, please reconnect message and instead of Phone tab in the menu Device tab appears. After I go to this tab it shows Connect the phone to sync message. Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00306:
Works fine for me here, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (x86 and x64). Have you tried a different USB port? May be worth restarting your machine/phone too.

The only thing to note about doing this is that everything works, except the update process! So you can't update Zune, nor can you update your phone with this hack - pretty major downside.

Anyone know of a power adapter or solution for airlines (United...) that use the em-power socket? Thanks.

[Xoom Accessories] Sistema1927:
How about an empower to cig lighter adapter used with the car charger?

I was hoping for a combined em-power/car adapter, but those don't seem to exist, so I'll check out the car socket to em-power adapters. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Jonesen:
Hello together,

i got my SGS2 since yesterday and installed Widgetlocker to get some comfort i was familiar with at WM and S2U2.

I just got a little problem, i cant put a 4x1 Widget (Fancy Widget) on top of the screen (row 1). I can put them in row 2 und 3 but i can only put a 2x1 Widget in row1.

Is it not possible to put a 4x1 Widget in the first row or am i missing something?

I hope this is understandable, otherwise i can upload a screenshot.

Thanks in advance

[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Holy run on sentence Batman. :eek:

Sounds like a drivers issue, or that you don't have USB debugging enabled on the phone.

Open the Dalvik Debugging Monitor Service (DDMS) that came with the Android SDK.

Does it recognize the phone at all in DDMS?

If yes, then does it say "online"? If yes, then you have something blocking adb from talking to your phone from your computer. (firewall?)

If no, then you have a driver or USB connectivity issue. (bad driver installation, usb debugging not enabled on phone, bad usb cable, plugged usb cable into a port not directly on the motherboard)

EDIT: Looks like the post above me could understand the run on sentence more than I could. ;)
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
You can also run the command lsusb and it should tell you if your system is seeing the device.

What Linux distro your running?

[Epic 4G General] mikeew83:
ok to recap

I have followed your prior threads does not work. I have usb debugging on as explaiend i have tried everything means I have searched for hours on end and come with nothing. I have replaced the ADB and created 99-android.rules and edited that as well as editing the 15-android.rules files I have run lsusb and it does show samsung device.
[Epic 4G General] mikeew83:
tried your directions again

I have tried them again and they do not work.
[Epic 4G General] silver03wrx:
Try the usb cable for the droid x. Its a really good one.
[Epic 4G General] mikeew83:
if that were an option

I have an incredible cord i can try that is about the only one but i dont see how it has anything to do with the usb cable when lsusb recognizes the device plugged in just adb will not list it on devices so that i dont think is the answer but thank you for the suggestion.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
You should only have 1 rules file, my suggestion, delete the 15 one and keep the 99.

Make sure the permissions are configured correctly, the biggest issue to run this type of operations in linux is the permissions and the ownership on the config files

Sent from an Epic with 4G
[Epic 4G General] mikeew83:
thanks

could you possibly explain this a bit more in detail as im still very new to this im a quick learner and great at researching.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Let me go over what to do:

After downloading the rules file on the above post, for example I have the SDK (adb) installed on my PC on the following path: ~/android/tools/, so go to your SDK folder (where adb is located) and run the chmod a+rwx adb command.

After this, take the rules file you downloaded from the above post and moved it to the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder (logged as root, NOT SUDO). After doing this, run the following commands:

make sure that 51-android.rules file has the following permissions -rw-r--r (read and write for owner, group + others read only)

su [then placed the password] (Once again DO NOT USE SUDO)

chown root:root 51-android.rules

Once done, restart the PC and it should be working 100%. Before connecting the phone, make sure USB Debugging is active, and restart your phone.

Connect your phone via USB and run the lsusb command to confirm the connection of the device and then run ./adb devices and check for the positive return!

Note: if you have never had a password on su, run the following command: sudo passwd and change the password and try running the series of command above.

Note2: add your user to the plugdev group on your computer

Note3: sometimes while performing the ./adb devices command will return a response stating that a device by the name ?????????????? is connected, this is OK, you can connect via ./adb shell and you will see your device file structure, if you request SU permissions you will have to authorize it on the phone via the SUPERUSER app that gets installed when rooting the device.

IMPORTANT: The password for ROOT (su) user is not the same as the password you enter for the SUDO command (your user) unless you make them the same!
[Epic 4G General] SweetBearCub:
I'm not sure what exact problem you are having, but I was having a similar problem until this morning (of ADB not recognizing the phone) until I did this:

A) Open the phone dialer.

B) Enter "##8778#".

C) Set both options to "PDA".

D) Make sure sure "USB Debugging" is enabled under "Settings", "Applications", "Development".

I have no idea if this fully applies to your issue, but if it helps, great. If not, no harm done.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Though this is good info (thanks for pointing it out), I would highly suggest to leave UART as Modem, and just change USB to PDA.

Sometimes you may have issues with Tethering if you set the UART to PDA.
[Epic 4G General] mikeew83:
I have been a bit busy I appreciate the run down and will try it here tomorrow or its 2am so later today I also checked the 8778 and my usb is already set to what was specified.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
I don't know about you guys, but I am hoping with the re-branding of Zune the Zune pass gets rolled into the XBL Gold membership anyone else think this is a good idea or will happen?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
It would be nice. I don't see why there isn't a combined XBL / Zune subscription that also allows access to movies via the 360. I'd definitely pay for that combo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wbadry:
I was wondering about why Microsoft would mimic with Zune same behavior of iTune in first place?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
That'd be great, but it'd have to be discounted. No point in just adding the extra £89 for Zune pass on top of the £40 Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Maybe some something like £100 total?

Obviously the figure would depend on your current prices in the US etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BooR4dley:
Perhaps it's because I'm in the US, but since I have an XBL Gold account and a Zune Pass tied to the same gamertag all movies/TV shows I purchase on Zune are visible in the Zune market on my Xbox automatically and vice/versa. I have bought season passes to shows whilst sitting on my couch and then later downloaded an episode to my Zune or my phone for watching on a plane.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sHAYM4N:
Yeah should definately be a combo deal. The main problem I have with ZunePass (in the UK anyway) is the lack of the 10 download tokens as offered in the US. Paying £8.99 a month and not recieving anything permanent in return is a little bit of a dissapointing and the main reason I no longer pay for the pass. I think they really could have been massive competition to iTunes had they sorted this out. Really hope they can get it together in line for Mango release.

They are doing so much right in other areas, the Zune Software is gorgeous, the Free Tracks given away is a great pulling point, the Bing features coming soon, the social aspect etc...we just need tokens, podcasts, and web marketplace!

Running trend with Microsoft on services sometimes - so close to topping but falling short at the last hurdle.

I don't think rebranding is the answer at all. I actually like Zune. I don't understand why they didn't just categorise certain handsets this way. IE the HTC Surround as a Zune Phone (powered by WP7). Trophy as an XBox Phone (powered by WP7) etc..

Not to fragment the WP7 line in terms of features, but to promote certain aspects to consumers. XBox phones could come with MS Points vouchers exclusive Avatar items, branded up a little, whilst the Zune phones could do the same with Music Tracks, preinstalled apps (ie Last.fm etc) different themes etc etc...

T-Mobile G2 compatibility

I love the Faenza icons and I'm currently using them on my linux box so thanks for porting this over to Launcher Pro! I was wondering, when I try to install this app using the market (3.0.26) it doesn't have an "Install" button, but the page exists. I decided to go to market.android.com and try to install it using my PC from there. It says that :

This app is incompatible with your T-Mobile HTC T-Mobile G2.

T-Mobile HTC T-Mobile G2

This item is not compatible with your device.

I don't see why an icon pack which is for Launcher Pro wouldn't be compatible with my device, if you know what I can do about this please let me know, I would love to use your theme. Thanks!
[Android Themes] sBel:
Nice icon set. Currently using it on Launcher Pro in my SGS.

[Android Themes] nellmathew:
I'm running CM7, nightly from about a week ago and I never thought about changing icons until I came across the theme section after that flash (meaning I don't know if it would have worked before the flash). I'm going to try to flash a fresh nightly tonight and see if that helps, because I can't seem to download Google Earth anymore either (same issue, incompatibility but I KNOW Google Earth was available to me a before). Let me see if it works on a clean install. I had some minor tweaks done to my build.prop, but none related to the device/carrier/model so I can't see how that could have caused this, but I'll let you know if I'm successful.

P.S. : Thank YOU for YOUR support! =]
[Android Themes] nellmathew:
Confirmed, it was the build.prop settings being messed with. Weird cause I only changed the ro.product settings to what they were originally on the stock ota so that T-Mobile apps would recognize my device as a G2 instead of Desire Z. Anyway, icons look great =].

Contacts=com.sec.android.app.contacts.PhoneBookTopMenuActivity

Messaging=com.android.mms.ui.ConversationComposer

(i hope they work,there were a lot of them

couldn't find one to launch the dialer)

Edit:oh and can you please tell me or point me to a guide on how to create an icon pack apk for launcher pro using various icons to install them easily ??
[Android Themes] aenima1985:
if you need only a launcher pro icon pack you can use this guide: http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7754

EDIT: I found that the activity name of contacts app you provided me is identical to the one of the sgs1 already included in the pack...so I tried with this one: com_sec_android_app_contacts_phonebooksplittopmenuactivity...hope that works...let me know...
[Android Themes] mfenix130:
Well the messaging icon has changed but the contacts one is still the same :(

isn't there any other way of giving you the proper activity name ?

oh and thanks for the guide,appreciate it.
