[Wildfire General] stuffynet:
For those who hope for an gingerbread update for the wildfire, don't hope anymore. The desire ain't getting it due to lack of space for the precious SENSE. :p

Come on alpharev, my wildfire is hungry for Cyanogenmod because HTC's Gingerbread makes it fat. :D:p

No update 4 desire
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
That's a bummer. Atleast they have an excuse for us with Wildfire's that its a low end phone with no processing power, small screen ... blah blah blah .... but this is the way they treat the owners of their (few months old only) flagship model? Great.
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Very sad indeed. A family member of me just bought one for almost €450 not more than two months ago. Which is indeed enough, but it is a good phone. And then to hear it won't be updated enymore, because of what, they lack the skills to program there sense in a efficient way? It is almost forcing people to root there phone and go to custom ROMs! :-o
[Wildfire General] maxjack193:
bad news

that's really bad news !!
[Wildfire General] stuffynet:
Change of mind. Desire gets ginger

Now this is just stupid. What kind of jackasses work at HTC?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Beats me. I would rather hope they work on unlocking the bootloaders as they said. That entire mess + this PR disaster here, has shaken my belief so much in HTC, that theres no way I am getting a device from them in the future, unlocked bootloaders notwithstanding.

I think someone showed them that Devs have Sense 3.0 working on the Desire. Probably that shamed them enough to release Sense 2.1 + GB for it. :p
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymieux:
Hi

Does anyone know how I can use the facebook profiles pics as my contact pictures instead of the default ones i have?

This is easily possible in HTC phones.

but when i synced the facebook on my SGS2, it made 2 different contacts with 2 different pics, and if i try to join them, it keeps the default pic and ignores the facebook pic.

ANY IDEAS??
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
Please move this thread to Q&A section...

Did you try joining the other way round?

Separate the two entries... select the FB contact and then join the other entry to it
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymieux:
Already tried that... doesn't help.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymieux:
GOT IT!

OK I got it...

open any contact that you have joined with all other available ones for the same> press menu> select "mark as default" > then just select your preferences... VOILA!!
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
Good One... Thanks !!
[Galaxy S II General] Harvin Dhillon:
Haha I had the same issue but magically found the option too after mashing a few buttons here and there
[HTC Inspire 4G] poetofsound:
This morning I got this text from AT&T about needing a 4G data plan. I came from an iPhone 4 and bought an Inspire 4G on ebay and just used the same SIM. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do? I have an unlimited data plan so I don't wanna lose it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JCreazy:
You need to get a 4G sim card from the AT&T store
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthonok:
Sim card doesn't matter

Sent via the power of a unicorn's horn.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
@poetofsound,

All you have to do is call AT&T and tell them to switch your plan to a 4G plan. It's the same price as 3G ($15 for 200MB, $25 for 2GB). If you've currently got the iPhone unlimited plan, then you will be grandfathered into the unlimited 4G plan.
[HTC Inspire 4G] poetofsound:
is it possible to do that without changing my plan up and would I still be able to switch between iphone and inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes, you can just keep the same plan you have now. It's the same plan data-wise and speed-wise; AT&T merely has separate 3G/4G plans in their system, and they've detected that you're using the Inspire instead of an iPhone. No need to change sims or anything, it's merely a technicality in their system.
[HTC Inspire 4G] poetofsound:
Alright thanks for the info! I live right down the street from the AT&T store so I'll just go there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] johnnyb138:
I had a similar problem with ATT that they told me my unlimited plan would not work with the Inspire 4G. I called on the phone and spoke with a manager and she said it would be okay. So, if they keep telling you that you can't do it, just keep at them and they will eventually give in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I just got a new inspire from ATT.

When I activated the phone, it gave me the 3g plan. I had to call to get it switched to 4g. Is there really any difference in sim card and/or plans other than semantics?
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
The plans which ATT claim are 4G are capped plans. You need the Smartphones Personal plan. If you had it on 3G you can get grandfathered in. I'm using a 3G sim in a rural area with just one 3G tower and getting 5mbps down with 1mbps up. The salesman at the shack had to call ATT because the plan is not listed, but I was able to keep it. As long as you are within 30 days of signing the contract you have the right to make them give you your unlimited data back.

Sent from my Inspire using the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IrishSmash:
The only reason they tell you that you have to be on the '4G' plan is so they can track usage, and the only reason for the '4G' sim is because that sim is LTE ready- so whenever ATT launches LTE, some phones will be good to go.

The '4G' plan is a load. Currently, ATT's '4G' networks is HSPA+... which is just the true potential of 3G, but not quite real 4G... REAL 4G will not be available on ATT till ATT launches LTE sometime next year...
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I read the title to this thread

and had hope that they chose you to text that there really is an LTE chipset in the Inspire....oh never mind
[HTC Inspire 4G] poetofsound:
Haha! Nice! Sorry for the confusion ;) If I do I'll contact you first :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] smarspdx:
When I switched from an iphone to inspire, they also need to change your voicemail configuration. apparently it wasn't all part of a single process for the conversion. what ended up happening was they did not change my voicemail over and I was unable to access the voicemail system from my inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] htcslic:
Have you check out Youview. Great voicemail for Inspire!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ShamanBond:
AT&T is a bunch of shady bastids when it comes to data plans, they want to charge you for using their under-performing network so they can not upgrade it some more. But if you keep after them they'll switch you to an unlimited 4G plan, grandfathering crosses over.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
already know it.. but for our xt720?????
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Yes if your carrier supports it
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
r u sure ??

i read the news anywhere.. i think they said "only for phones that got updates this year" ?
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
I saw on Android Police that it doesn't apply to phones already dropped from updating list. Then again CBW is doing weird things... so maybe they'll manage it.

Guess we'll see.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I believe phone would beincluded because this originally had 2.0 I not how long ago it was but I have a ton they need to include who getting it but I have read were they said its up to the carrier of they support it them those customers will her unlocked. Only time will tell.

hmm but maybe if cincinnati bell update is released, xt720 will be one of these devices:

[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Yeah, but CB update is not from Motorola...
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Hmm. I guess July is Q3...

Damnit. Don't you dare get my hopes up.
[Milestone XT720 General] eSu.Matix:
**** Motorola! I bet you will make CM7 work before they unlock the bootloaders. ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
hm but Q3 wouldn't be bad , right ? july = Q3 = second half of the year ?
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Sometimes I ****ing hate having chosen the XT720. I wish I knew as much about android back then as I know now. The guy at the shop in dubai even showed me a Defy...damn man. Even the milestone 2 was better. I ****ed up bad.
[Milestone XT720 General] c_urbanek:
U guys are phunny!

U guys are phunny! I don't beleive a word that Moto prints.. they aren't going to unlock us.... Look at their track record... ain't gonna happen fellas. You see their week-ass posts to questions from their own customers on their own support forum... they are liars & a joke. as MCP says "End of Line............." :eek:
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
We may try to port ms1 unlocked bootloader if it will be so...
[Milestone XT720 General] c_urbanek:
what is the "ms1" ?
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Usually I would not believve motor but this has been CONFIRM and yes motor did help them with update 2.2 but will bell go to bat for us and let bootloader be unlocked.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
ms1 = milestone 1 ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] CrystalShield:
Me too. Sometime I wish I chose the Milestone instead of XT720. But the appearance of XT720 is cooler than Milestone (my opinion).

Now, I'm waiting for Cincinnati bell
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
I really love the look of the XT720 honestly. One of the best looking phones on the market imo. I got it knowing that we would probably never see more than Dexter's Froyo. I only have minor regrets about it (mostly I didn't realize that there was so little RAM and also as I see more Android OS 2.4+ announcements I realize just how quickly this could be totally out of date), but I still like the phone and there was no alternative available on my network anywhere near the price I got this for, so it was definitely a good purchase. If Moto actually unlocked the bootloader that purchase would be even better, but guess we'll see if that ever happens.
[Milestone XT720 General] :
Totally agree with you. Plus it has a better camera than the Droid 1/MS 1. But the design is just awesome on this thing.

My only complaint is that it could've had a little more RAM. Even 512 MB instead of 256 would be more than enough to make the phone rocktastic.

But other than that, I have no regrets on buying this phone (although I wish I had the money for an Atrix :p)

Not impressed with Swype.

Swype tablet is not better than thumb keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sichelmond:
Yay SWYPE!

Swype made me a convert to a soft keyboard. I hated them before Swype came out and always bought phones with hardware keyboards before a salesperson showed me the Samsung Vibrant and Swype. Kinda interesting to see how useful it'll be on a tablet but, I'm game!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TheBigSaxon:
I'm part of the beta and it is perfect. In landscape it's large enough to get 50 wpm and in portrait it's just the right size to swype. Word prediction is nearly perfect as well. Thumbs is now #2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mrsbelpit:
Anybody else on the beta seeing extreme lag and browser crashes? My browser almost never crashed until I started using Swype beta.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] FordTaurus:
So far so good. I mostly use Opera Mobile however. Will do some testing with the default browser and other apps tomorrow.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
Hi, I'm new on this forum, and I already have a problem :)

I just got my HD2 with android running from the phone. I was an xperia and WM user before, so I decided to give it a try. I'm trying to reset the phone (so I can costumize android) via Settings-Privacy-factory data reset, but it wont work, I hit the button "Erase everything" and noting happens.

Is there any other way to do this, maybe from the "boot manager" (I dont know the proper term for this).

...oh yes, I dont know witch specific rom is installed, I only know it is android 2.3.4
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
By "running from the phone " I assume you mean nand.

Turn on phone, hold power till get magldr screen, in magldr choose Ad recovery, when clockwork starts choose "wipe data factory rwsst" and "wipe cache" then restart.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
yes I tried that before but it says "no boot sources"

so I guess I'm without clockwork...and I guess also this can be installed only when you install a new ROM..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Backup your data before you start.

Download THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)

Find your new ROM and determine the new partition size.

In the toolkit highlight Magldr update recovery,choose your size and update.

Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

Then install ROM.

The new partition + the wiping will thouroughly clean you up .

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
Tnx for the help, but I think I'm going to put WM back because I just found out that outlook and google can't be synced so easily as I use outlook for everything it's a shame.

Thank you very much for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
I use outlook. Myphoneexplorer syncs fine with outlook. (though I don't sync with google since doing so corrupts many of my contacts custom fields)

can I reinstall a whole new rom ( HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) and delete everything from the device using this tool?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

This tool does a lot of the hard work for you.

Remember to back up your data before you start ,because these processes wipe your system clean.

Yes,this tool wipes your device(Not the sd card).

Re-install everything.

Use the tool to re-partition your system:

system ya 390M

cache ya 5M

Then:

go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

then install ROM

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
so to install a new NAND android rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3):

i need to have MAGLDR and before that the right radio and HSPL. I already have all of this because I have installed an android rom.

from what I learned today reading all sorts of things on the forum, is that I can install this rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) or any other also without doing all that staff with the SD card and partitions, CWM... or am I wrong? - From the MAGLDR USB flash. for this to work does the rom have to be a special file type or can it be .zip like for the flashing from the SDcard?

...the CWM allowes me to backup and update android, or so I understend it?

but is it possible to install via MAGLDR #4 option and install CWM afterwards?

forgot: this tool kit enables me to do all this: install new MAGLDR, CWM an then I falsh the rom? I don't understand how it works
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Backup your data before you start

Read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

Magldr repartition(use 5 usb flasher) (390MB, 5MB cache)

Then 8 ad recovery>wipe data,cache partition,dalvik(advanced)

Then go to install zip from sd card

Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)

After installation,reboot.

Give it time.

Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
aha so if I repartition MAGLDR my device will be wiped an the CWM will be installed. the partition sizes that you suggested are for the rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) that I'm trying to install? (I cant yet post in their thread:( so can't ask them)

and if I can ask this particular rom can be installed only by partitioning and flashing it by sdcard or also in MAGLDR?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GsiminL:
ok I think i got it now (about time :rolleyes: ) only one question

Can I put the .zip ROM in the SD card by connecting the phone before I start the whole process like I would put music on or does it have to be formatted and empty with only rom on it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Sd card does NOT need to be formatted.

It is best to put the new ROM onto the root of your sd card,USING A CARD READER.

This will avoid any data corruption.

so it is not recommendable to copy it by normal usb connection Phone-PC

I just installed CM7 RC0 and also tried to install gappks.apk through recovery. but apart from Market and Gtalk noting was installed.

When I am trying to download anything from market it shows "downloading from Maket". but nothing gets downloaded.

I tried to do the s0be method but i am not able to create any folder in /cache directory. it states "permission denied' read only file system...

need your help to get market downloads working

Hey guys, i know alot of people have been looking for a good battery and i think ive found it.

2600mah battery that comes with a plastic door for the captivate.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-Batter...Accessories&hash=item2563d966b8#ht_1074wt_923

ive had it for a week and the battery life is pretty solid.

just last night i was on my phone for 16 hours and still had 37% left.

battery door fits perfectly, it has not given me any problems.

however i do suggest that you charge up the battery to 100%, delete the battery stat, then let the phone die completely and charge it with the phone off to give you the best battery possible. (this is what i found was best to do when getting a new battery)

so let me know what you guys think. and good luck!
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
This is probably no different than the 3500mah battery. I wonder if this is TRUELY 2600 or is it 2200 like the 3500 battery is.

I never turn GPS off, and leave WIFI on at home all the time. Also Blue Tooth. I get 24 hours often, but, if I do heavy use, ie GPS mapping, display on a lot, or games, I can't get 8 hours out of it.

I"m interested in a larger battery for when I go on vacation and want to have the GPS on a lot while walking around. That's why I interest in the larger battery.

I do have extra batteries, but as noted by many, not being the OEMs, they are less than 1500, and show it on how much time they provide.

Will be interesting to see how this one does.

There is a post somewhere of the Otterbox with cutout for the battery. I don't think it will work without cutting out the back.

I have one ordered and plan to do that.

FYI...my first run on the battery: it went 36 hours, and had 9% left when I plugged it in to charge. Usage included browsing, 3-4 short phone calls, 15 min of GPS usage. Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth on 100% of time, email, Pulse reader; and the last hour was used playing music through a blue tooth headset.
