Why does it matter? Who cares. The Mesmerize isn't a 4G compatible phone. It's a hardware thing. So who cares what USCC gets, if you're in this forum then you can't use it.

Data is data, what phone its coming from/going to is irrelevant. Its a contractual thing.

Hi everyone,

I got my new desire z two days ago. I am on holiday so i cannot get my device rooted with computer. I have read lots of topics and decided not to use visionary. Now i wonder if it is possible to do it without computer or just with an android based tablet pc.

Thank you for all now...

[G2 and Desire Z General] Richard1510:
If you read down a little bit it says "WARNING: A few Desire Z users have reported being stuck on the HTC logo after following this guide. Without having a Desire Z myself, it is difficult to figure out why (since this simple automates known working methods). For the time being, I recommend Desire Z users obtain permanent root using one of the other guides out there." The op of that thread recommends using a different method. I would wait until you get back from your holiday and get to a computer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I read all the ways to get rooted but visionary didn't work. I think device must be downgraded before get rooted. So is there a way to downgrade desire z without adb required?

[Thunderbolt General] jbeitel:
Back when i was using my incredible, I came across a post from a guy that integrated the entire accuweather database in to the htc weather app so you can add any city (like my home town). I reviewed that database and compared it against the Thunderbolt one and nothing has changed. If you would like to try it, I attached it. unzip it and with root explorer (or another file browser that gives you r/w access), and place it in /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files

I am using it now and it works for me. BE SURE to back up your original db (rename with .bak on the end if you want) in the unlikely event you have a problem, you can get back to the original state. I have been using it for a few days now. And now i can tell you the weather in my city :-)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Your decision shouldn't hinge on this. I2 will get 2.3 later (rumor has it around August). Instead, if these are your considerations, make your decision based on the tradeoff between battery and network speed. TB gives you low battery and fast network speed. I2 gives you good battery and slower network speed. If you are okay with 3G speeds, then the I2 is a pretty good win.

If you plan to root and install third party ROMs (such as cyanogenmod), then which firmware it comes with is even less relevant.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tan G:
Hi there,

Here how I extract contents including folders and files from smg files.

I didn't find any real tutorial about this, I hope it will help you guys to better develop.

This following may soft brick your device, anyway you can recovery it by flashing it back with rsd lite.

always remember, use at your own risks...

Requirement:

- rsd lite \ sbf_flash

- sdcard

- 1,5gb android application free space

- gingerbreak (rooted phone)

- adb (android sdk)

- atrix phone :D

- no need of desktop linux

1) Extract the smg files from the sbf, to do you can use Rsd Lite or use Sbf_flash, google search is your friend.

link for sbf_flash

http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/05/sbfflash.html

2) copy the smg files you extracted into the sdcard

2 *) optionally copy shellscript.sh to your sdcard if you don't want to type all those commands.

3) root your phone, easy with gingerbreak

4) set the phone to development mode and open adb shell

5) type the following commands :

* get su access, type su:

adb shell# su

* remount main block device to have write access to mnt directory:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1 / ;

* create two temporary loop devices:

/osh/bin/mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
/osh/bin/mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 1

* create two new mount directories for example:

mkdir /mnt/retail ;
mkdir /mnt/att ;

* mount smg files: ( in this example smg files are in smgs directory of your sdcard /smgs, I will copy the contents of retail smg to att smg, that's mean att smg contents will be overwritten )

/osh/bin/mount -o loop /mnt/sdcard-ext/smgs/olyfr_u4_1.5.7_signed_olpsattspe_p012_hwolympus_1g_1ffCG57.smg /mnt/att ;
/osh/bin/mount -o loop /mnt/sdcard-ext/smgs/olyem_u4_2.1.1_signed_ucaolyportfr_p014_a004_m001_hwolympus_1g_1ffCG57.smg /mnt/retail;

* make clean the att smg

/osh/bin/rm -rf /mnt/att/* ;

* copy contents from retail smg to att smg:

cp -dpRf /mnt/retail/* /mnt/att/;

* umount the previous mount directories we created

/osh/bin/umount /mnt/retail;
/osh/bin/umount /mnt/att ;

you're all done, congratulation!!

here is the script to automate the job, edit it as you want.

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1 / ;

/osh/bin/mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
/osh/bin/mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 1

mkdir /mnt/retail ;
mkdir /mnt/att ;

/osh/bin/mount -o loop /mnt/sdcard-ext/smgs/olyfr_u4_1.5.7_signed_olpsattspe_p012_hwolympus_1g_1ffCG57.smg /mnt/att ;
/osh/bin/mount -o loop /mnt/sdcard-ext/smgs/olyem_u4_2.1.1_signed_ucaolyportfr_p014_a004_m001_hwolympus_1g_1ffCG57.smg /mnt/retail;

/osh/bin/rm -rf /mnt/att/* ;

cp -dpRf /mnt/retail/* /mnt/att/;

/osh/bin/umount /mnt/retail;
/osh/bin/umount /mnt/att ;

there are 3 smgs that you can mount

1) system directory ...CG57.smg

2) data & preinstall directory CG62.smg

3) osh directory CG58.smg

Looks interesting thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] briggie108:
This is pretty awesome. I was wondering if something like this can be done. Is there an actual way to edit the cg smgs, so you could repack your own sbf and flash it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You can also just take the SMG and mount it on any Linux box. Saves a lot of trouble. Of course, if you don't have a virtual machine or don't use Linux, this could be faster.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:
im sorry but what can we accomplish with the SMG files?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tan G:
SMG is smg, LOL... :D

that was a joke!!!

Get serious, I really don't know exactly what it is, for now I know that only motorola is using it, so this is just a filename extension and nothing more.

Inside the smg you have contents that you can use to build a custom roms, anyway there are many ways to do this.

Is there an actual way to edit the cg smgs, so you could repack your own sbf and flash it?

yes there is, but there smg checksums verification when you load the sbf in rsd lite, I never successfully created a fully flashable sbf. Unfortunately there is no full tutorial about this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
You can by editting a single code group, and flashing it via fastboot. You'll need linux to mount and edit the image though.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Folks, this is more of a PSA, but I'd like to address some things.

ROM threads move very quickly. Very, very quickly, with a 100 posts a day, easily.

We cannot always live in this threads to provide you support. Some have more patience than others, but:

--If you complain about the ROM or its support channels, please do not use it.

--If you cannot be bothered to read the thread in search of your answers, how could you expect the devs to do the same, for your questions?

--If you constantly crap on devs, they leave.

Now, ThatDudeButch has already closed the latest BAMF thread. He may decide not to reopen it. So for folks who want to fight and resist the flow of things...is it worth it? I don't think so.

Lastly, support requires some effort on your end too.

Please read the thread and try to find your answer.

Please provide a logcat of your error. We are bringing you a product, not teaching how to use these tools. There are tutorials found via google.

Thank you, have a great day!

[Epic 4G General] poit:
Hi there,

Here's an odd bug I've been experiencing for some time now, wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I've experienced it with the last stock Froyo EC02 install as well as the current Gingerbread EF02.

I use and really like the Sammy stock calendar app. In the calendar list it shows 3 calendars, My Calendar, the gmail calendar, and an exchange calendar. I want to set the gmail calendar as the default, but every time I do it it changes the calendar ringtone to "Silent". Then I go to ringtones and reset it to any other ringtone and the default calendar changes back to "My Calendar". WTF!

I've been living with "My Calendar" as the default, that means I have to choose the correct calendar every time I create a new event. Anyone else see this bug? Any suggestions. (Please don't just tell me the app sucks and I should use xxx instead.)

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Kodeen:
I currently have my gmail calender set as the default and have a ringtone. I haven't set up an exchange account yet, but I need to. I'll do that and see if I can reproduce. Using virgin EC02.

I have the same problem. I don't have any solution - I'm not even rooted and I'm not skilled in that sense. But I wanted you to know you're not alone or crazy. Very annoying bug.
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
What I've done in the past is simply log into the google calendar on my computer and delete 'my calendar'. I did it because I was annoyed by many of my entries not syncing because they were saved under the wrong calendar. But, maybe deleting 'my calendar' will help your situation as well.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Seems like a great idea, but "My calendar" doesn't show up anywhere except on my phone. I'd love to delete it from the phone but I don't know how.

I'll let you know how I make out.
[Epic 4G General] gsilver352:
After Trying different programs

I tried testing what the issue was. Reinstalling gmail app, adding new calendars, different notifications, chrome imbedded calendar app function changes, nothing worked. Honestly if I could get into the program of the calendar app and edit it, im sure i could find a fix for the bug in the program. But I ended up purchasing Nudnik Calendar Notifications, this one worked for my Epic 4G it was $2.50 but well worth the hassle. Custom notifications, works for all calendar events.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Wow, a thread rises from the dead. I liked the stock calendar, but this bug made me give up on it and start using Business Calendar instead. I just missed one too many appointments because the alert kept shutting off.

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Youtube commentors are the bottom of the barrel.
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
He stated call quality was worse when connected to 4G. All other things being equal, why should that affect call quality? The phone doesn't use the data network for calls, does it?
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
I don't know but he also said it shoots in 1080p but that's wrong. He also said the battery is good and should last all day so I hope he's right about that.
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
I believe on CDMA that 3G turns off when on a call, but 4G stays on because it's on a separate radio? I imagine 4G being on while on a call could definitely degrade something.
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
His comments about 3G and 4G calling were interesting. As someone coming for a OG EVO, I never even considered having 4G on for voice calling, but I guess it certainly can happen, particularly if you're not managing radios aggressively.

Another plus for me is that I noticed the phone located itself in Irvine (my home city), so the review comments on call performance and reception are particularly helpful.

I do wish he was a bit more specific about what he had running for his battery comments. It sounded like he was on 4G a lot during his testing, so this is also encouraging.

He did get the video capture capabilities wrong, though (he mentioned 1080p recording a couple times).
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
reviewer is a moron, 3g/4g are only for data and do not effect your calls at all. calls are done through 1x. for ****s sake, stopped video after hearing that. im not interested in the review of someone who has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] fldash:
Correlation =/= Causation
[HTC EVO 3D] jlevy73:
No, 3G is for voice, 4G is for data. That's why the Thunderbolt (which uses SVDO not EVDO) can get data while on a call.
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
maybe thats true on verizon but on sprint voice calls are over 1x not 3g and certainly not 4g. both 3g and 4g and only for data
[HTC EVO 3D] (•.•):
Never the best compared to the leader smarthone galaxy s2.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
He speaks the truth, the only way 4g could affect call quality was if the radios interfered. I'm thinking the more likely culprit is the radio towers themselves when he was in a 4G area.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
I definitely don't download any data via 3G. I downloaded all my data via 4G on my Ntelos 3100 from 1994.

Any ideas how to get the google sync to be more reliable. I'm generally on WiFi or sitting at my desk at work with 3-4 bars 4G.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
that means its syncing with something, not necessarily google. could be htc sync, facebook, twitter, weather, qik video chat, google maps/latitude, etc
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
go to the gmail apps settings and make sure you have the notification on, then go to accounts/sync and make sure that gmail box is checked to sync
[HTC Sensation] c@rL0$:
It's likely caused by the HTC Sense sync client. It takes a long time to sync as it makes a backup of your Sense configuration settings.

I personally disabled it as I started noticing that I've used a lot of data the first week that I bought this phone.

i have noticed the same and i think i will do what carlo said and disable it too.. to see if that works... i will just sync manually before i go to bed or every other day

I changed the radio to 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M so I could use a gingerbread custom rom.

I also noted my stock radio as 38.02.01.17_M in case i go back to the HTC stock Froyo.
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
That means you did not S-Off your Radio. Read the Revolution HD thread carefully as he explains that you have to do that and gives you all the steps accordingly. It is very easy.

Just go back to the thread and S-Off your radio, its going to work after that.
