How exactly could he have ruined it for everyone by saying he didnt think root would be achieved? You think Alpha woulda gave up their attemtps in annoyance because he was the one naysayer? get real. people are entitled to their opinions and he disagreed and when perm root was achieved he mentioned how embarrassed he felt in multiple treads. I think he has been humiliated enough and we should all move on to enjoying root now...

/back on topic now...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
I wouldn't say I was humiliated. It really is just a phone. Did admit I was wrong about alpha rev though. If people hold a grudge over a phone, they really need a life, just saying.

If I update my new shiny Trophy to the Mango beta that's been hopping around for everyone lately, is there a method to sideload apps?

Thanks all
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
YOu should really watch the Windows Phone 7 area...
[Trophy General] ieAnd:
lol sorry, I'm quite new to this. Only grabbed the device yesterday. I've been an Android person through and through since the launch of the original Droid, so this is all new territory. I'm guessing that's a hint to head that direction. Specific links are always appreciated though :D otherwise I'll just do more snooping tomorrow. It's not quite like Android, Google-ing my questions doesn't always yield answers. Or perhaps I'm just not googling the right thing. Time will tell.
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
With NoDo, Assuming your in the US, you got the Verizon Trophy that was shipped with the NoDo update. Your only method to "unlocking"(to allow you to sideload or other mods) your phone is to go with a Dev-unlock.

It's a process but, you could get it unlocked directly through MS, for dev reasons. If you have a .EDU address, it could be free.

So, in looking for a unlock, you do have a Nodo based device, so use that as a general look when you looking for updates or unlock methods.

If your a Noob with WP7, spend some time in the WP7 areas and READ !!! Spend a few hours reading the threads, save yourself headaches later... and Do some searches before asking questions, most newer questions have been asked a ton of times.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=605

Good luck !

(PS. If your going to Mango, you can Dev-unlock fine but, Backup, Backup, Backup....Don't understate this)
[Trophy General] ieAnd:
Thank you kind sir, that's what I was looking for. And I do have a .edu account so I'll definitely look into that! I was loathe to ask this question because I know it's always frustrating to see a question asked that has an obvious answer elsewhere, I simply did not know where that elsewhere was. With Android pretty much any question is a basic Google search away, and if not that then simply go to the device-specific forum but it seems it's not quite that way with WP7. Or perhaps it is and I was just immensely confused. Regardless, now I know where to start though ;) You are most kind.
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
Just want to help if I can.

Just remember if you get it unlocked, with mango your limited to 3 Sideloading apps and on CDMA(Verizon or Sprint) based devices there is no current work around for it. With NoDO if you apply the reg hacks, you are unlimited as far as I know for sideloading. Note the limits before you pull all your hair out.

Again, going to mango, make sure you have a backup, you can NOT update to the final version if you do not restore.

Don't forget the thanks button if I helped you, that's all I ask.
[Trophy General] DavidinCT:
If you need to deploy more than the 3 limit in mango, I figured it out....

I use MoboPlayer. The UI is simple and functional, thats all I care.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
MoboPlayer is what I use at the moment, but it's quite pathetic. Why does the menu button lock the screen instead of, you know, bringing up the damn menu? Why are settings in some awkward pop up that's meant to be used for contact data? :rage:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
I once tried something called VPlayer, seemed to work OK for me at the time. I like how you can swipe across the top to seek through a video. Only thing is that it's a 7-day trial, you'll need to pay for the unlocker app to use it for any longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Whilst I agree that the UI could do with a little work, I don't have an issue with "Menu" being the screen lock. It's actually very convenient when you're playing video for small children, and I am *far* more likely to want to lock the screen than I am to access the settings.

So, for me, this particular design decision works.

I also really like the way that Moboplayer effectively uses gestures for brightness, volume, and "seek".

just for your info, TEGRAZONE is now active and contains some free and some games you have to pay for. I have tried 2 of the free, and they are impressive at least concerning the graphics.

uuh, tegrazone has always worked since i bought my a500 in late may.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Me too, so I don't know why it's somehow news to the OP.

As for Tegrazone itself: there doesn't seem to be happening anything there. Sure, some of the games are nice, but there doesn't seem to be any new games coming there, the news there are stale and so on. nVidia seems to have lost their interest.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Same for me nothing new there.even some of tease data on coming soon has last and the games not for d/load

And by the way most all if not all games on there are also on the market.android and related companies are so fragmented. Its life of a new os something we will all have to live with

I also find the amount of games of my interest a bit dissapointing, on Tegrazone and Gameloft.

I dont want any password on my phone because i dislike the constant minor inconvenience of entering the password, so what im looking for is a way to disable the power button from waking the device and only use volume rocker. no one really knows this would wake the device and i feel like it would be secure enough for what im looking for.

anyone have a way to do this?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr_Joshua:
Hey Guys, I have been looking around for a while and I was hoping that someone would happen to know this. I bought an Inc2 for a family member and she is receiving the GB update as we speak (a little irritated that my TB hasn't gotten it yet, but loving BAMF anyway). She is a big Skype'r and I know from the tbolt that it takes 2.3 to make the video to video Skype to work on it. Since it will be on GB, will the hacked Skype work? Does anyone have a link to an Inc2 specific apk?

Thanks!! (maybe she will eventually let me root it too!)

I have an HTC Inspire and I have the 2gb plan from AT&T. It seems like every month I go over my data limit when most of the time I either don't have signal or I run my task killer to shut down background data. I live in the country so there's no WiFi that I could ease my usage. I've gotta do something to get unlimited data. I have 2 questions:

1. Will AT&T ever come out with a 4G unlimited data plan? (like maybe after the T-mobile merge)

And 2. Is there any way I can use a loophole to get unlimited data?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:

The goofy thing is that my mother and brother have unlimited on their iPhones and barely use it :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] ManImCool:
1. I doubt they will ever create an brand new official marketed truly unlimited data plan for new or existing customers.

2. I actually bought the truly unlimited data plan back when it existed like 5 years ago, and have never let go of it since, so I'm happily grandfathered in. When I changed from my last 3G phone and switched to the Inspire 4G, they "upgraded" my unlimited 3G data plan to 4G unlimited data plan, same price. So for $40 I get truly unlimited no data cap 4G data and unlimited texts. Oh except it's more like $35 a month for that after my Premier discount. I'm never changing my plan again. I'm keeping my unlimited data. Unless of course they offer to upgrade my 4G unlimited to 5G unlimited in a few years time :)

EDIT: Oh and I never have an Iphone at any point, ever, nor claimed/told ATT that I had one. All WinMo all the time until this Inspire, with hassle free unlimited the entire time.

[HTC Inspire 4G] DanMc85:
1. There is/was... you had to be grandfathered in on an unlimited 3G plan to get unlimited 4G data which basically is nothing special. just uses the same "phone" apn that the iphone data plan uses instead of wap.cingular. The 4G unlimited data plan code is: HSDPPB but good luck getting it added if you don't have unlimited data already.

2. there is the itunes/iphone 2g trick which does work for some people if you start with a new fresh itunes account. i hear if the phone isnt kept active for a month or two they can go and change it manually to a 2gb plan if you switch to a different phone immediately... could be wrong but this is what i have heard.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Get your hands on a 1st gen iPhail, hard reset it, put your sim in, sync to iTunes, purchase $20 unlimited data package, wait till your acct show that as your device and plan, go to att store and tell them you'd like to have your unlimited data grandfathered to your Inspire, they'll change it while you wait(about a 5minute process), leave store smiling.

Enjoy unlimited data. :)

The problem is Google. Google uses a pathetic resolution for the contacts (96x96?) and therefore, when you have Gmail sync enabled, all the photos are replaced with lousy low-res versions, even if you uploaded a hi-res picture in the first place.

This has been discussed on several threads in Gmail support for a few years now, *WITHOUT* a solution. Google needs to get with the times and fix this once and for all.

[Focus General] MGA2009:
Hi.

I bought a Samsung Focus on eBay.

I received a phone with a cracked screen and it says "Not for Sale 1119" on the lower end and in the battery cover.

I can't open a claim on eBay because I live overseas and I received it in over 45 days so I don't have more time.

The phone it's not recognized by my PC when I connected with the USB but it seems to turn on and it makes lock and unlock sounds.

I disassembled it to check if it had every part on it; and it does... it's a full Samsung Focus but it's unbranded...

Now, my questions is... how can I be sure it is not a DEMO Phone or a full phone with a DEMO operating system? Please keep in mind the screen is cracked; digitizer works thou.

I ask this because Focus digitizer/lcd assembly it's quite expensive; and I don't want to spend USD150 for a dummy...
[Focus General] minori_aoi:
Whoa looks like a prototype unit (very cool dude!). The LED flash placement is shifted to the left. My focus flash is straight under the camera.

If it has a rev.1.3 hardware, even if it's a demo unit, i guess you should be able to flash it with 7004 at&t / rogers rom (assuming you can go into download mode).

If only it's in mint and working condition, it would be awesome. (iPhone 4 prototype unit are priced very high in ebay)
[Focus General] MGA2009:
Thanks for your answer!!

I will fix it then...

But; how I know if it has rev 1.3 hardware?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
It should be on the sticker where the battery location is. However, I don't see it.

On mine it says Made in Korea, yours is in China. Definitely interesting :)

yeah i already knew that but many people are too lazy to download an app (i know a lot of those people like bb users " hey friend download whatsapp or any crossplatform app to text each other", "nah why dont you get a bb phone better?")

i have heard that a lot of times even with android users... "hey download liveprofile dude... Nah i only use X-app"

so it would be awesome that with the new Android OS comes with a built-in Messenger like BBM, or just Gtalk Improved!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] PakAttack1994:
yeah I agree with renehd2, bbm is an awesome tool and it hooks a lot of people staying with bb's if its just for that sole reason. When it comes to android, I know liveprofile is pretty sick but not everyone has it or will get it when they already have been using another bbm like app and already have their contacts set up with that....if google can make a standard the way bb did, i'm sure most of the third party bbm like apps will become extinct.

I love my GS2. However, there are three Major issues that I cannot resolve after searching on the internet. I would be so glad if someone can give me a little help.

1). Server Side Mail Search - The Email App cannot search for email longer than my sync period (1 month). I can't search for any email older than that! On iPhone there is a featured called "continue search on server". I have to go to web browser to search for my mail! Is there a way to do that within the mail app?

2). Minimum Brightness - Minimum Brightness is still too bright for night use. Are there any apps to allow setting to lower brightnesses?

3). Mute Speaker while on BT? - When I have a BT headset connected. I want the notifications to play through the BT. But now it plays on the speaker and BT together which defeats the purpose of using a BT headset. Is this common?

Has anybody tried mounting their tab in their car? I'd like to mount mine on the center console and use it for navigation and music, but I haven't found any mounting solutions for my ZJ that I like. I'm hoping maybe the Broddit Proclip for the 10.1 isn't too far away.

I've seen the ones that bolt to the floor, but I don't think I'm really interested in something like that. Plus, they are expensive.

A word of caution is that, compared to a phone or a GPS, the Tab is relatively heavy. It tends to vibrate some at the end of the clip. But if you just stick the mount into a cup holder in the center console of your car you should be fine.
