I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Google Music Beta works outside of the US. All that's required is a US proxy to request a invite, once you get it and activated your account for Music Beta, it works no matter where you are.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aquenne:
This is true.

Working fine over bell hspa / canadian ip addressing / canadian google acct

Initial invite from US Ip
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SeanBond:
Using it in the UK fine, signed up with a US proxy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Signed up while living in the US, moved to Holland in the mean time and it works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cerfer5:
I just hope I live long enough to upload all of my music.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
I got the invite today. I live in Belgium - when visiting market thru browser, says the app is not compatible with either my TF or my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the music plays fine in the browser - even the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rj3005:
yeah , it works in spain too, tested on my transformer, sgs-II, my wife's o2x and my old N1. I used a vpn with us IP address to signup for the invite and loaded the apk outside the market
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Highland3r:
Another happy camper here :) works great on tablet & nexus S.

Not sure o2 are quite as happy though ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bjoern.busch:
It's working for me, too. At least via the website and my Nexus One, I can't make the Transformer sync with it or display my music from Google Music. Settings aren't showing anything helpful. Any ideas on that? Did it just work on your Transformers?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] canadianrider:
What site do you use to give you a us ip?

Sent from my Darky's i9000m
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vadimus_ca:
Works in Canada without any proxy or anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Did you go into settings in the Music app?

I just used the first proxy that came up on a Google search, hidemyass.com or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
For me, work is a US IP, so the invite suceeded. After that any network will do.

I've heard Starbucks are US as well, so you could try the invite there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
I am also in Canada and it doesn't work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lotacus:
Sure it does.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
I get "We're sorry. Music Beta is currently only available in the United States"

Maybe it's because I signed up for it when it was announced at IO conference?

I used my proxy to send myself an invitation, but the page said that they will notify me when it's ready. :confused:

Also, for those who want a US ip you can use my proxy. (Link in my signature.) :)

I won't steal your password, but for your own safety change it first, use proxy and then change back after you are done.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nachtschicht:
It's working fine here in Germany, I just had to use a proxy when signing up but can now use it from my Desire, Transformer and PC.

What a wonderful service :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
to make a Q and A subforum?

My question is what software version was the stock one, the one with zero updates installed in them?

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you Devs out there. I purchased 2 NC's for myself and my wife. One for my mother-in-law, 2 for my neighbors and one for a college buddy.

I have successfully installed the latest nightly CM7 with Dalingrin's AWESOME over clocked kernel. You all are all the freaking bomb. We all love the work you have done and it is awesome to have a REAL tablet, rather than that limited B7N software.

So FTW thank you all for your hard work, it is being greatly enjoyed by many people and your super skills have not gone unnoticed.

Keep up the great work and thanks again for the brain cells :-)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdc177:
Selling my hero soon and need to switch to the fastest stable ROM that will allow the new owner to activate/provision. What do you recommend? Fresh 2.4? I've been running AOSP almost the whole month I've had this phone...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Yup fresh is always a good one. Or nifinity's stock rom. You might want to consider just unrooting and going back to stock and accepting all of the latest updates then just let the buyer decide if he/she wants to root Hope this helps.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
Indeed. I'd just RUU the latest release. Then install the xda app and let them explore the possibilities.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdc177:
Okay so fresh was way too laggy. Is infinite much better?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Fresh laggy hummm??? Well no 2 phones are alike. Well give nifinity's roms a whirl and see for your self. Both can be overclocked. So its a matter of user opinion. Everyone runs there phone different. Fresh was fast as hell for me as was ninfinity's but its really up to you.

[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
As you all know when ya go to power off the Sensation, there is the option to "restart" the phone.

This is my 2nd Sensation that does not like that feature one bit.

Power off works fine, but when I hit restart, the phone shuts off and will not turn on by itself? In fact, it goes into a little mini hibernation and wont wake for a few minutes no matter how long I hold the power button down.....very strange.

It's no big deal...just strange to have it act the same way when choosing "restart" on two different units.

Anyone encounter this on the Sensation?

Thx!
[HTC Sensation] akdebest:
It happened to me in the first few days but now its all ok. It restarts fine.
[HTC Sensation] alprk:
I had exactly the same, give it few days and it seems to resolve itself.. Give it a bit.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hmmmm, strange indeed.

I've had this 2nd one for a week....guess ill try it on day 8 :P
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
That's weird, mine is working fine. Have you tried to hard reset? pretty sure it is a software problem.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Mine works and worked fine right out of the box.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Right on.... No biggie. Everything else is perfect.

Yes, I've done factory resets, battery pulls on both units....same thing.

I just won't use the restart feature.

Thansks guys!
[HTC Sensation] jmcghee1973:
Mine works fine. I only use it when I charge my phone completely to reset the Uptime & Awake time. If not, It keeps running on the same timers I powered it off with.
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
I'm on my 2nd sensation and neither of them actually restarts. They just powered off
[HTC Sensation] Mr3G:
I had no problems with restart, but noticed it wouldn't yesterday?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Cool...probably just a random software bug. Maybe HTC will fix it over time.
[HTC Sensation] fearyaks:
Stupid question - are you waiting after the phone shuts down for the reboot? At first I thought mine wasn't working either but then I just waited for about 10 seconds after the shutdown and the startup starts again.

It's probably faster to just shut it down and then power it up.
[HTC Sensation] Squeaky369:
Works great for me.
[HTC Sensation] jonathan3579:
Mine didn't work until I turned off Fast Boot.
[HTC Sensation] leggoo615:
Yea it happen when I'm in a phone conversation
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Works for me, although it seems like the boot was slower than normal. I didn't time it, but subjectively it seemed so.

Also, had one instance earlier where a "power off" actually rebooted rather than shutting down.

It's all been fine since that odd instance.
[HTC Sensation] daillcyruz:
Mine does tmo sensation....
[HTC Sensation] mrmotivator:
Mine is from o2, arrived yesterday. Reboot doesn't work for me either. Same as you described.
[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
I'm my case, fastboot needs to be enabled for it to restart properly.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
mine works perfectly fine, no problems with restart
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pwgadget:
after looking for ages and ordering a Zeus carbon black flip which was so slippery in hand that wull br returning it, I went into my nearest O2 and found they had the official samsung leather flip case for only £14.99. Quality feel and has clever magnetic closer at the top which avoids those annoying flip type m agnet catches. It is thicker than the zeus but adds little in weight. If a flip case is your preference then I would say the official one at that price is bargain.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aaronje:
One thing I've wondered with these flip cases - does the magnetic part of the case interfere with the electronic compass or have they shielded it in some way?

Am debating about getting one...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
It's not magnetic. There's just a hook that grips to the top of the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aaronje:
May look out for one then. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbpf77:
It is magnetic. The hook you're talking about holds the phone in the case and has a small metal plate on the front which the magnet in the flip down front cover attaches to.

And it makes no difference to the compass.
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
I recently installed a custom ROM, and that means that the stock Bell self serve app got deleted. I tried downloading it from the market but this app is different and rarely works. The one that came with my phone was much better.

Is there an .apk of it anywhere?

For reference, this is what it looks like.
[HTC Incredible S] Anonymalious:
I have the same problem, except the one on android market says it's incompatible with my SGS2, so I'm looking for the apk. If anyone can point me into the right direction, it'd much appreciated. Thanks.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It's only for select phones right now.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
I prefer the hex edited libflashplayer.so that let's you use the desktop site. No $8/mo fee and no "Sorry, this title is not available for devices". Sorry, I love huludesktop, and hulu on my epic, just not with an $8 charge, ads, AND a restricted "mobile library". Even with the subscription some shows are not licensed for mobile playback (unless you have the desktop flash hack :) )
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
As you all may know, the G2X has issues. I hate the fact that it has been released with so many issues and that after 4 returns, I have not had one perfect phone. After being treated like crap with customer service about exchanging to the sensation, I wrote a well worded letter and sent it to all the big wigs at TMobile corporate figuring I would finally get the sensation for free (if they valued my service). I asked for the sensation at no charge or for them to let me out of my contract since they continue to give me a faulty phone. An exec called me today and stated that they would accept the $50 upgrade but they would do no more. She also said they would not let me out of contract. When I mentioned filing a complaint with the BBB, she said she looks into all complaints from them and that she would not be calling me back and the offer would no longer be valid!!! Now that is guts. No wonder they have been slipping in service year after year......

My question is, should I just pay the $50 for the sensation and be done with it? I really hate the G2X screen bleed and it seems like HTC will be better on updates.

Please help me make my decison.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
I'd say if you can upgrade to the Sensation for $50 and be done with the headache and hassle....go for it. You can start enjoying a device, rather than weeks of being pissed.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I would say NOT to pay the 50 bucks. Check the forums there's some guy that got (I think) a free sensation and kept his G2X. File your complaint with the Better Business Bureau, document everything that T-Mobile has been saying to you. Also try to email the CEO, random officers of the company. Corporate email address are usually very, very, very, very easy to guess!

For example Robert Smith is going to be

Rsmith

R.smith

Robet.Smith

Robertsmith

@ Company dot com. Good Luck! May the force be with you! I also would not extend my contract with that $50 dollar "upgrade"
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Almost makes you want to leave for Sprint lol.

I have the G2x and for the most part it's been a very good for me. Biggest issue for me is BT headaches. I'd be on a call and BT would disconnect. If the call was an hour it would drop 4-5 times. I had some other minor issues but if a phone can't be used as a phone what's the point. Anyway, the Sensation just works, right out of the box. If I were in your shoes I'd pay the $50 and be done with it.
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
I did send it to a bunch of corporate people at T-Mobile

kelly.spindle@t-mobile.com,

john.birrer@t-mobile.com,

jim.alling@t-mobile.com,

larry.myers@t-mobile.com,

doug.chartier@t-mobile.com,

peter.ewens@t-mobile.com,

customerrelations@t-mobile.com,

executiveresponse@t-mobile.com

These are all the big wig execs I was able to find. After getting contacted by corporate and being told to shove it, it doesn't look like I will be getting it for free.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
the $50 offer is a GOOD offer. I'd take it. Its what you would have paid had you skipped the g2x in the first place. The carrier doesn't warranty the phones, the manufacturer does. They could just tell you to contact LG for any further issues.
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
I bought the G2X from Wirefly for $150, then got an adjustment when it went down to $100. So in reality, I would end up paying $150 for the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
... and that's bad?

waaay better than most people
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
honestly, paying only a $50 upgrade is nothing for a better and much sturdier phone. I keep telling people that LG is actually Gold Star - the company that back in the day made crappy appliances. Now they make crappy phones. One of my relatives bought one of those phones and had trouble from day 1.

to be fair everyone does not have a crap experience, however, i hear more people complaining and taking them back. t-mo reps at t he stores, if you engage them, will tell you not to get them on the DL.

pay up and enjoy my friend.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
its 50 dollars.. and your complaining? i paid 160 for mines. Be happy they are giving it to you for cheap.. everyone wants something for free now adays.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I paid $600 plus tax at Walmart so $50 isn't bad... you could always sell the Sensation on Craigslist/ebay use the money to pay the early cancellation fee and still have enough change to buy a $200 phone on another provider...
[HTC Sensation] EmceeGeek:
That discount is almost better than mine. They gave me one for $200, extending my contract when I wasnt even close to needing a renewal. They gave me a month free, cut prices off my data plan, added free web and text to my other two lines. I still haven't been able to sell my G2x, people don't want them no more. Its crazy.
[HTC Sensation] mykoe817:
I had a g2x and was offered a waived restocking fee of $50 for a sensation which was 199.99 with $50 rebate so $150 + tax and crud

tell you what tho. Have had zero issues with my sensation as compared to my g2x. I love the g2x also. We have yet to see the potential of the Tegra processor.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Ditto.

I got rid of my g2x for 400 and paid 600 for my sensation. worth every penny... For 50$ I'd jump art the chance.... The g2x is barely functional

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
dude pay the 50 bucks ad be done with it , its an LG phone so its LGs problem to fix , i think that offer is very good and considering the amount of money youve spent i dont think you have anything to gripe about , BBB would laugh at this complaint
[HTC Sensation] clowery4384:
Well I am dealing with almost the same issue except they wont even allow me to pay an extra fee to upgrade to the sensation. And this was an exeutive customer relations rep. He started by lying to me saying the is now way to trade out my g2x for a sensation. Then when I told them I know about system overrides he changed his story to he will not authorize a system override. He said that he can but he wont
[HTC Sensation] alodar1:
Dude is it worth $50 to end the frustration? The device is $50 more expensive than the G2x anyway...so they are taking the device back and asking for the difference.

Its a wash....take it and run....and remember....there's no place like home....
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Take it man. $150 in total is basically what they are offering online for new customers.
[HTC Sensation] clowery4384:
I wish would have offered me this deal
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Nobody is special. Its a restocking fee of 50 dollars within the 14 day trial period. I would have to pay it too but i decided to keep the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
I just wish htc would have gone with more internal memory this time. Or at least a way to upgrade it.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I think we have seen the potential of the Tegra 2 a lot more than the dual core snap dragon. Think of all the devices that have the Tegra 2. The sensation is what? the first to feature it? If anything we have yet to see the potential of the Snappy.
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
I took the offer. They are being sent out now. I hate that UPS doesn't ship on the weekends. At least we will have phones that work out of the box. :)

Thanks for everyone's insights.
[HTC Sensation] jeffreynew23:
Pay it
[HTC Sensation] jir591:
You got hosed paying the $50. The Tmobile folks are laughing at you right now because they sold you a defective phone then picked your pocket again for the Sensation that you can't even root.
[HTC Sensation] :
I hate people always trying to get free crap. Nothing in life is free. All that writing was a waste of time and shows ignorance. Stop trying to get over, pay the $50 and stfu honestly. Like you're trying to start a revolution of fellow G2X owners...Nobody gives a crap bro. Just shows you how petty you are about a damn phone. smfh..There are peo-ple dying on this Earth and you honestly are complaining and spending time you could be doing anything useful to the world writing letters to someone who gives 2 monkey's balls about you????

This is not a personal attack but its more of a reality check. This is the mentality that makes people NOT give free stuff as replacements because of people always trying to get by in life.
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
Wow. I am not sure if this was directed at me, but it is kind of funny. So you are saying i can't get an opinions on whether to pay $50 because people are starving somewhere in the world. I'm not going to donate the $50 to a third world country anyways, I have my own family to support. I am not ignorant, and if I learned some valuable opinions, it was not a waste of time. If you don't have a relevant or helpful insight to my question, quit trolling and kindly go STFU :)
[HTC Sensation] tdy2kn1:
$50 is a good offer. Glad you made the switch.

I'm sure the CSR did their best to appease you within their own power. Don't make life harder for you and for them by demanding it for free just for that amount.
[HTC Sensation] daved152:
Dude really? It's a forum to say what you want. The reality is you're a tool.
[HTC Sensation] :
I said no offense. My Apologies. I can't expect others to think as i do and you did not deserve to be disrespected. Again i apologize to the entire thread for being unhelpful.
[HTC EVO 3D] greatzak:
Got an email from wirefly that my evo 3d has shipped. So I will be getting mine tomorrow. I had assumed that I would not get it until atleast Monday so this is a pleasent surprise especially for the price. Can't wait!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
thats sweet, Did they give you a tracking number and everything?
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
good **** man.... glad to hear more folks will be getting theirs.

phone is awesome so far
[HTC EVO 3D] greatzak:
Yup. Shipping through fedex overnight.
[HTC EVO 3D] mulletmusketeer:
Mine got shipped too... the fedex tracking information says arrival date will be Monday though. Its going to be a looonng weekend waiting
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
You didn't spring for overnight did you?
[HTC EVO 3D] greatzak:
Mine shoes tomorrow by 3pm. But I'm just going to have it held at the fedex store. So i can get it earlier.
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
Mine just says "processing", but I didn't order until a couple weeks ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] knlmwq:
Wow, That is a pleasant surprise. My order status says shipping. I havent received an email yet though. Wish I would have gotten that overnight shipping now. Doubt I will get mine til monday at the earliest.
[HTC EVO 3D] mulletmusketeer:
Nope, the promise of free shipping was so nice when I ordered it. Of course now I am kicking myself. Oh well, I can try to use oodles of minutes from my soon to be cancelled old plan this weekend I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zackb911:
Mine has shipped as well. It's coming from MD, not sure when it will be delivered as I'm right outside of Boston, Ma. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday.

I have to say so far I'm happy with Wirefly, got the best price and shipping a day before official launch. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
Mine says shipping, but I haven't gotten my tracking number, etc. I ordered the overnight shipping.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tbonekilla:
Shipped at 6:42PM 6/23/2011 via FedEx Home Delivery with a scheduled delivery of 6/25/2011 to Chicagoland. I forgot that Saturday was a normal delivery day for Home Delivery as opposed to regular FedEx.
[HTC EVO 3D] quantumburnz:
Woot! I pre-ordered with Wirefly on 17Jun, my phone shipped on 23Jun and it just got delivered to my house at 1:30 pm today, the 24th!

Thank-you Wirefly!
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
That's dumb. I ordered on the 13th and mine is still "processing".
[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
Mine got delivered today at 12:00.

When I opened it, the left side was slightly scuffed. The bottom left has terrible light leakage that can be seen outdoors :eek: There is a dead pixel on my menu key.

Freaking sending it right back to wirefly
[HTC EVO 3D] greatzak:
Wow that sucks. Mine just arrived half an hor ago, but i cant open it until later today. So hopefully no problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] karmak:
Just a reminder for anyone having an issue with games / applications not being full screen. I have heard this can cause an issue with older software but have yet to run into an issue. Download spare parts from the market (free) and run the app. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck compatibility mode. Reboot the phone and your applications should now be full screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
O RLY? okay lemme try that !
[HTC EVO 3D] paulg1981:
Will try it, NZBMobile Pro and Weatherbug are not filling up the screen for me.

EDIT: Worked like a charm, thanks for the heads up

EDIT2: I broke your Thanks cherry :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Good to know, thanks for the tip!
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
Chuzzle (from Amazon) is still messed up for me. Anyone else?
[HTC EVO 3D] aktruong:
XiiaLive Lite was the only app that was giving me that issue and your suggestion worked. Thanks!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Hmm I downloaded spare parts and the app just Fcs over and over..

I'm trying to hold off on doing the OTAs but I may not have a choice .
[HTC EVO 3D] lewis952:
the reason why some of the apps dont fill up the screen is because the 3D's screen resolution higher than normal ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] jkcpsal:
Yeah I needed it for the sirius app, surprised side since this isn't the first qhd display
[HTC EVO 3D] karmak:
I have not taken any of the OTAs so that should not be related. Maybe try menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select spare parts and force stop and clear data. Also check to make sure its installed to the phone not SD card.
