Noob question here, i would like to know if it is possible to send my cellular connection to another phone by bluetooth maybe? Let's say i have this old cdma smartphone that i like alot and i would like to use it sometimes but my line is on a new hspa sim card phone... Is it possible to establish a bluetooth connection to the new phone and use the old one to make calls. I don't know what VPN connections are but could this be used for making the link. My old phone is a windows 6.1 device and my new one is an android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] diamond_4g64:
Like we do with data when we have a hotspot function
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] diamond_4g64:
You know guys there is an app called cobra phone lynx and this app lets you connect via bluetooth to a cobra module to send your phone connection to residential phones by connecting them to this module so its possible!!

I did the one click root and s-off method. Iv flashed a few roms they all work fine. A few of them have wifi signal problems so i want to try different radios. They say you need eng s-off correct? Not radio s-off? Well this is my real question, in bootloader it says at the top,"ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL". So which is it? Radio s-off or eng s-off? Thanks for any help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
I think most people would agree unless you are positive you know what your doing...eng s-off is not a good idea. Pretty much any radio you would want to flash can be flashed with just radio s-off....it just has to be in a zip named PD98IMG.zip and pretty much all the radios in this forum can be found in that format.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14293652&postcount=928

Check that out. It has a radio packaged in it and instructions on how to install it. And my understanding is that whatever radio you want to install, you can take that radio.img and place it in that zip to replace that radio.img that is in it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong please.

EDIT: Here is another thread with instructions on how to flash a radio WITHOUT eng s-off

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002226
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
So is it eng? Or radio s-off?

And im running androidrevolution 5.1.9 and i downloaded the radio from that thread but i dont have access to a conputer to zip it and check it correctly, nor can i find the correct ziped version could somebody possibly do this for me? And the ril file? I think the radio for that rom is 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 thanks guys!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
If the radio is flashable via hboot, the thread where you found the radio should say that. The file must be named pd98img.zip for hboot to find it. When you flash a radio this way, you only need the s-off you already have (based on what your bootloader screen says). You do not need eng-off. You are good to go. You should not be zipping anything yourself...

PS Just use the stock ATT radio. There is a thread or two with the pd98img.zip that contains the radio and the ril.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Ok, i have the latest ota already, i did the wifi update before i did the one click, i guess all i need now is the matching rl from the radio i mentioned in my op
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
Someone just started a new thread for inspire radios. He said he will update it every Friday with radios an the matching ril for each radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
Step 1: Find your HBoot flashable PD98IMG.zip file including a radio inside of it, which is compatible with your phone and has been tested and find its md5sum. Make sure that your not downloading a radio.img but a PD98IMG which you always will find here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002226

Step 2: Check the md5sum on your computer (if your running windows google md5checker or something similar) match them and move it to your sdcard, but NOT in a folder.

Step 3: Check the md5sum again but from your inspire, i use hashdroid personally but theres a terminal command also. Once it matches up you are safe and ready to go, but remember you can't be to safe flashing radio's.

Step 4: Hold down Vol- & Power while phone is off and fastboot is NOT on loading yourself into hboot, next is the suspenseful part (unless you did all the steps above correctly) let it sit for a second and it will load the zip on your sdcard later prompting you to vol+ or - for yes/no select yes if you feel safe and it will flash the radio.

Step 5: Attempt to successfully boot into your current rom and then check the radio firmware by going to menu>Settings>About>Software i believe or something close.

Congratulations you've made it through easily and painlessly without needing to bother with Eng-Off.

Thank Shad0wf0x for this method as i learned from his and attn1's help through alot of irc chatting when i first got my inspire, which was also my first android/ios phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MtGoat:
I don't think anyone has answered the question that he asked. He want to know if he has radio s-off or eng s-off if his bootloader screen said,"ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL". Answer is you have radio s-off so you can flash roms via recovery but not radios. Everyone here is just telling you that the eng s-off is not a good idea in order to flash radios and pointing you to posts that shows you how to install radios by using PD98IMG method. I used this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324). All the radios are already named PD98IMG.zip, so all you have to do is place it in your sd card and use Hboot to install it. Also it has correct ril files for the radio that you can flash from cwm recovery (make sure you go to mounts and storage screen and mount/system before you flash ril files when you are in recovery).
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
I had the same question, now I have both radio and eng s-off, you have to use the eng s-off tool...theres a turoial (to get eng s-off).....
[Droid X General] KENMAN OH YEAH:
first time using this site so i apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. I am currently running leaked build .588 GB and would like to get the new OTA installed without whiping the whole phone.

What would be the best way of installing the latest update without having to lose everything?

Thanks

Has anyone in here ever deal with cellhub when buying ur G2X?

They have the phone on sale for $69.99 and I'm looking at a possible buy here if they r legit.

Ur input will b great appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
They are scum of the earth!

Basically I went through 2 G2X's with them. It wouldn't have been so bad where it not the fact that it took about a week to ship the phone to them and get it back and by the second one, I was worried that I may not want to keep the T-Mobile service so I just gave up and decided to buy locally. The problem was that Cellhub wanted a restocking fee for the SECOND defective phone of $25, then they charged me $10 for the pleasure of having to send the brick of a phone back, AND I had to pay for shipping($15). So dealing with that much hassle with Cellhub on a phone that is known to be defective (Come on, we all know this, the issues this phone has given me led me here) is just not worth the "savings" you'd get. I wasted $50 on literally nothing thanks to cellhub. A week later I went to a local T-Mobile store and it looked like Cellhub somehow screwed me over with Tmobile and I wasn't allowed to get the phone for the upgrade price. So if I wanted it at the store it would have cost me full price! Basically Cellhub was trying to blacklist me with T-Mobile. T-Mobile was great and we cleared it up (seriously, best Customer service for cell phones, I really hope At&t is denied to purchase them), but it soured me from ever buying from cellhub or even hinting at someone to buy it from there. If I could prevent one person from going through the hell I went through, I will be more then happy to write my story down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asesino:
I just placed my order.Let's c what kind of dirt they give me.If phone don't get shipped out today I'm cancelling my order.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
My experience has been fine. They have done everything they've said for me.

They sent me my first return w/no problems. The 2nd return, they deferred to T mobile. But he was nice about it, explaining that that is the process. He made sure I had no questions. Also made it a point to tell me to get back to them if I had any problems with the 2nd return. The credit for the free activation won't show for three months or so.

I did have to pay for next day both ways, but that was my idea and my decision. They were gonna send it 2 day. I had a loaner from T mobile that was crap and did not want to wait a week.

I'm not sorry I went through them myself. I would do it again. They are selling this phone for a good price. I always get a real person quickly, which I love. It isn't their fault I've had problems. My daughters G2X is problem free.

It must suck to be an authorized G2X DEALER right now. There sure are a lot of returns.......never mind the standard BS that is sorta inevitable. But I can personally recommend cellhub. Of course I try to be uber friendly and respectful. You definately get what you give.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asesino:
So far so good.We'll when the phone arrives.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
If you get a working phone CellHub would appear to be great. But a TRUE measure of a company is how they handle returns. I had a defective Core i7 980x (a $1,000 processor mind you) and Newegg did a cross ship without charging me on the new one sent in, all I had to do was send in the defective CPU. The whole process took 2 days and I recieved a return shipping label for the defective product. THATS how you handle returns. Cellhub is a joke by comparison. A true measure of an online store is how they handle returns, not sales. Cellhub is not there for you after the sale, so I would avoid them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Cellhub vs Newegg is not a good comparison, because Newegg offered ****ty customer service when it first started too, only until a few years ago they got a lot better in order to compete with amazon's customer service.

I bought my G2x from cellhub they are okay. I was very lucky to be one of the few to receive a non-defective unit. So hopefully you will get a non-defective device. But since G2x has so many quality control problems I would not have bought it from cellhub because if anything is wrong with it you would have a headache with the return (any online retailer that is). I would have suggested you to get it a local tmobile store because you can drive to the store and ***** at them versus an online retailer you cant really do that much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I ordered 2 cell phones from Cellhub about 6 years ago. First issue was that I was switching carriers and porting my number. I was assured that my old phone would work until I got the phone and had it switched myself. Not so, the numbers were switched immediately before the phones shipped and my wife and I had no phone service until our phones came in over a week later. One phone was fine for 2 years until we quit using it. The other was an obvious refurb that they honored with the 1 year warranty, but I had to send it in for repair through whatever service they used. I had to send it in twice times for different issues. First was it stopped installing anything I had bought and downloaded, which I dealt with until the bluetooth stopped working. After that the screen died. Then 3 days after my warranty expired the keys quit working and I was out of luck. They wouldn't do anything about it even though it was obvious there were issues with the phone before and I had sent it in twice before for a couple weeks each time. Not that I expected that they would do anything even though it was three days, but it did guarantee I will never go back.

Hope your experience is better and that they have improved since then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
They haven't...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Well, I knew what the return terms were when I bought them. I made sure to check the return policy. So the return shipping, while I see your point, wasn't really an issue for me.

I'm more concerned with how much of a fight it is to make the return. They exchanged the first one quickly and with no hassles.

I knew that going mail order was a bit risky. But as I said, I've been pleased with cellhub. From my experiences with them, they've been very helpful and professional.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
So you wanted to exchange a defective phone and Cellhub wanted to charge you $25. restocking, fee, $15.00 shipping, AND $10.00 (for what?) for a total of $50.00 for an exchange.....for a defective phone....that was still under warranty?? Boy, I'd be pissed off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
Hence my hatered of cellhub, I spent $50 on nothing. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in long island against them. Cellhub is pure scum.Avoid!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exostenza:
Ok so here is my problem: I loaded on a custom ROM the second I got my phone, so I have never run stock before and I have had no name in the market when I post comments on things and I guess that didn't really matter, but now I loaded on Darky 10.1 and my ratings do not stick on the market. I have tried market fixer in SGS tools to no avail.

Any way to fix my market so it keeps my ratings and displays a name when I make comments?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
try clearing market data from application management
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
profiles

Only way I've ever gotten the name that shows up to change is to mess with the info supplied to the google account.

The rating/comment might also be linked to the google account, as I can look in the market for apps I've once had but long since removed and done plenty of "full wipe" ROM flashes since yet the rating and comment are still there.

And no, I've never once restored anything relating to the market app or its data. I consider it a system app, and use it as is.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exostenza:
Well thanks for the answers, but I still have no luck with this...
[HTC Inspire 4G] AudioMaster13:
Not that I know of. The Samsung Infuse adapter uses an MHL adapter/standard to connect to the phone. I believe that support for MHL is hardware based and to the best of my knowledge, the Inspire does not have the hardware to support the MHL adapter. While they both use micro-usb standard, the Inspire was not built with HDMI out in mind and thus is lacking the component/software to output to such a device..

Hope this helped
[HTC Inspire 4G] 19ant89:
Thanks and it did help. So the only option is a dock. I think the HTC Evo works for the HTC Inspire 4G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LGSilva:
There is no HDMI output, cable or dock for the Inspire 4G that output video signal.

The only way to achieve that is via wifi and DLNA.

Here is the device from HTC:http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/30/htc-media-link-dlna-streamer-review/

Some tvs have built-in wifi/dlna.
[Thunderbolt General] Mechastomper:
the random reboots after the last push update sucked. went through 2 sets of tbolt.

Verizion agree to send me new Charges (2 of them since i have to 2 bolts)

to use till htc puts out a fix or update.

funny thing is Tech supervisors in the Philla call center know nothing of the push problems where Tech supervisors in the houston center know all about it.

this was the short story i have the long if anyone interested.
[Thunderbolt General] jamezr:
Sorry you are having so many problems! So how do you like the Charge vs the TB?
[Thunderbolt General] BACARDILIMON:
Having same issue of rebooted when it wants. Often like 8 times a day it is getting annoying.
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
I called and I complained for almost 2 hours... they wouldn't change mine for a Charge. Grr...
[Thunderbolt General] Silvus:
if rooted

I was having the reboot issues, I started flashing the radios on plunks advice. first i tried cdma.7 lte.6 rebooted next day; cdma.6 lte.7 rebooted next day;

I'm now running cdma.6 and lte.6.

So far no more reboots. It's been a few days.

(its very easy to flash the radios, there is a thread in development forum with each of the packages)
[Thunderbolt General] Mechastomper:
Charge sucks imo! Very very laggy moving between screens. Plus it's a Samsung. Left Sprint and the epic for Verizon and the thunderbolt.

I have email confirmations that I get to swap back to the thunderbolt once a fix is out.

I have 2 numbers to Verizon tech supervisors. One in Philadelphia ( very helpful) and one in Houston. Houston did the replacement deal butt when Houston wouldn't return my calls I got a hold of the guy in Philadelphia and he emailed the supervisor I was telling to in Houston, the tech and their boys asking what's the deal. Again Philadelphia had no documentation of the thunderbolt issues
[Thunderbolt General] aedillor:
Hey guys I am having this random reboots myself but it is not as bad. The thing that I am kinda hesistant to call tech support though is if they ask for the software info. I am running virus rom rc1b3. Can someone please provide me with information that might be needed by the reps? Thanks in advance....
[Thunderbolt General] Mechastomper:
Both my thunderbolt were stock. If I were you I would return them to stock then call tech
[Thunderbolt General] orcsbane13:
If you're already rooted then all you have to do is reflash stock radio and no more reboots. As previously said it's easy and there is a thread in development that will guide ya on what to do.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
They offered me the same thing but the replacement is working fine now,even with the update on it, its still stock but I will root it and put the bamf gb remix on it,not one reboot in 10 days. I believe what HTC has said that its a mix of bad phones and rushed software hence the snappy replacements.
[Thunderbolt General] bL33d:
Had a fascinate aka 3g charge and touchwiz and samsung get a thumbsdown from me i got my thunderbolt yesterday and have not had a reboot or issue and sense is awesome!
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I had a thunderbolt that was built kind of crappy. Dead pixel, light leakage, and a depressed power button. I kind of dealt with all of that till about a week ago when I started getting reboots. Called Verizon explained what was happening. Got a replacement the next day (Called at 5 PM) and after getting it all set up everything feels great. The phone is much better quality and the screen feels much better (Hard to explain but it just does). One week later no reboots. Have to give it to Verizon for the quick and painless transition.

FYI My original phone was from release day and was rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] bd1212:
How do you like the charge in comparison to the tbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] Mechastomper:
hate it.

its going back
[Thunderbolt General] cstrife999:
I only had one reboot when trying to flash GB which from what I understand is normal. My first unit died from what we like to call a "c%$k drop." I got a phone call when I was doing my business and was half drunk so yea... My first unit's only problem was the power button. The new unit is great and has a much better power button. Honestly I think the battery is better too.
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Lazer:
This is good to hear. I finally went to Verizon and told them about the random reboots daily. I've also had problems with the weak power button but didn't mention it. The only question they asked me was if I had done a factory reset. Told them yes, and she said they would send me a replacement phone hopefully by Saturday or Monday. I don't care if its a "Certified like new" phone as long as it works just as good as a new one.

When was the last time a phone was this high? It will probably be like 575 after taxes... after watching all of the videos.. it doesn't seem worth the price of a computer. This is like crime. I always buy my phones out right because I don't like to wait for contract renewals but another 75? I bet if they added more internal memory and a better video camera and screen it would be like 800 huh? Lol maybe I need to back off on being a phone fanatic lol

From twitter

RT @TMobile: We had a few people ask: The retail price (non-contract) for the @HTC Sensation 4G will be $549.99 + applicable tax. http://goo.gl/54zvj
[HTC Sensation] Adhiboy:
Galaxy S II is $825 without tax off contract.
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
Are u kidding me? :O and people are wanting that galaxy s 2 like its a 500 dollar phone. We talking close to 1000 dollars here for a phooone lol smh
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
The Nexus One was $529.. so not much has changed with pricing when it comes to HTC smartphones.
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
That was still Google branded but the majority of HTC US phones are like 500. I dunno.. I ain't flipping out but if the price is gonna continue to go up, they can be more solid with their product functionality
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Amazon lists the Atrix for $599, and the Droid X for $559. I agree it's way too much. Just saying...
[HTC Sensation] desztan:
Non-contract is sim free?
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
Tmobile non contract is meaning buying out right.. no half price off
[HTC Sensation] recondo1202:
For whatever reason I had $499 on my mind...

$549 plus tax in LA @9.75% equals $602 and some change...

At this price point, I'm reconsidering purchasing this phone now as I'm pretty happy with the MyTouch 4G running Virtuous Fusion 1.1.2.

There's always Craigslist. :-)
[HTC Sensation] jRi0T68:
That's presently irrelevant in the US, because it hasn't been released in the US. I bet when it is released here, it's under $600.
[HTC Sensation] Spartoi:
I paid $650 for my GS2 with tax.
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
My Incredible was 550 six months after release. This doesn't seem outrageous.
[HTC Sensation] ko0l:
Dunno why you're complaining, you guys have it cheap. In europe the average new phone, no contract costs $700-$800 usd. Currently the HTC sensation costs ~430pounds ($700usd) in the uk. The galaxy s ii also costs ~430pounds in europe and $800 aud in australia. The atrix is even more expensive, costing 500pounds ($850usd).
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
You also have no warranty...
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
Well I'm thinking y'all probably get paid more over in the uk or something. Where is the logic of the phones being like 100 to 200 dollars more? That's crazy and yeah we complain if HTC isn't giving it their all and not producing a better than good product for almost 600 dollars.
[HTC Sensation] VICosPhi:
I'd pay that kind of money for the phone if:

1) It comes with almost no flaws/bugs

2) Its a Pentaband GSM/HSDPA Phone

2) I have full control over it (rooting)

3) I get at least 5 years of guranteed timely updates

Last I bought a Asus laptop for this much :)
[HTC Sensation] Spartoi:
True, but what the warranty covers wouldn't apply to me anyways, so it didn't matter.
[HTC Sensation] mattfmartin:
Guess phones are going up now. When I bought my hd2 full price last year from tmo us it was like $450

R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
[HTC Sensation] marky310:
Isn't the evo 3d cheaper off contract than the sensation? That's kinda sad. Makes me wish I was on sprint
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, it's like $500. Confusing...
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
EVO is a CDMA, so even if its cheaper, you wont be able to you use outside Sprint. Whereas the Sensation can be outside T-Mobile.
[HTC Sensation] ImDonly1:
From where?
[HTC Sensation] animaleyes76:
lol a nice LITTLE 50m2 flat in my home town would cost about $245000 compared to the $100000 places 6 bedroom mansions i saw going in nice parts of Arizona.

Nope, we are just completely ripped off in Europe!! :)
