Pardon me if I am posting at a wrong place or some awkward question but I need help, please.

I am looking for T-mobile version of HTC HD2, one comes in black box and has red/green button. But I can't find one. There are some in ebay and amazon, but what looks like either the seller are not 100% reliable or maybe the package is not unopened/intact. When I sent those supplier a mail, they told me that they had to open the box to see if all the contents are there or not. Isn't that really funny excuse that a product from T-mobile needed a checking if it is perfect or not? What worrying me is about the 16 GB micro sd card which the seller can replace with a cheap chinese one. So I am looking for 100% intact and sealed, T-mobile carrier locked phone, I will unlock it later myself. Can anyone please tell me where to get one fresh piece and how much it can cost with no contract?

My location is New York, NY-11377.
[HD2 General] Moon2:
Why don't you buy straight from amazon, and not a third party seller?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...311200878&sr=8-2&seller=&colid=&condition=new

Cost: $299.99
[HD2 General] howhi50:
To get a brand new t-mobile one you would have to get it from a t-mobile store or dealer and buy it out right if you can find one that is still selling them. Your best bet is Craigslist but don't rush, some one honest is bound to post one in your listing. I'm a T-mobile dealer and we might have some brand new in our warehouse. PM me if you are interested.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I'm not sure why the stress to have new unopened hd2. I use to sell on ebay and if you complete your order via paypal you'll be covered if something went wrong. Plus the 16gb that comes with the phone isn't a really good sd card. I would go with a 8gb class 6 or higher. Much better then 16gb class 2. I personally got a hd2 off ebay for $120 & then bought a transcend 8gb class 10 on ebay for $15 so my total cost was only $135. They do have new unopened hd2 on there but you'd really have to keep looking. Plus ask questions to. If they say something in the listing that's not true or if they don't list something and you have a problem with the phone you can always return it. Paypal is very good about that.
[HD2 General] islammanjurul:
Thanks htccraze for your reply, actually I was looking to buy 2 units, one is for my younger brother who is very perfectionist and always look for something fresh and new to explore, actually he gets it interesting. I have gifted him many gadgets and all where fresh, and you can't imagine the happiness I see on his face.

If it was for me only, I could grab the amazon one, as I need this for my regular android dev purposes.

I hope to take a look at nearest T-mobile store in NY.
[HD2 General] BerMM:
Newegg has em for $280 unlocked, not sure if it comes with the class 2 16gb sd or not. I recommend upgrading to a much faster card anyways.

[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
If I recall correctly, T-mobile has recently got the HD2 in stock, you can check their website. by the way, why is there a date within your question's title?
[HD2 General] htccraze:
yeah i can see your point now. since its a gift for someone i would advise to get a new device. if your looking to buy them out right without a upgrade the lowest i've seen them is $269.99 on ebay listed here. it says new and in original packageing but i would still make sure its unopened by asking the seller.

i did see someone said they bought an hd2 with they're upgrade for $50 or something like that which i do see on they're website its available for $360 without the upgrade. also if your due for an upgrade sometime soon you can buy a phone a lot cheaper from places like wirefly.com & letstalk.com over the t-mobile store. they are new devices and come unopened and can save you about $80-$150 by buying them from there over the t-mobile store. i've even hunted down promo codes for phones i bought in the past from both sites and i was able to get a free bluetook from letstalk & i saved $80 off my order on wirefly. if you do go into the store ask them if they can come down on they're price at all because i have seen them do it. they offered me $50 off the price they listed because i said i seen it much cheaper online. just be friendly and maybe you could get a similiar offer.
[HD2 General] islammanjurul:
I will look forward to a better sd card. Thanks.
[HD2 General] islammanjurul:
I will be visiting the T-mobile store, however yesterday I tried online and the HD2 was out of stock.

I put date because the forum guideline mentioned this here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915650
[HD2 General] islammanjurul:
Thanks for the great support and idea, I will now hunt for deal. by the way, what upgrade you were talking about? the rom? if it is so, then me and my brother will be running windows phone 7 and android dual boot, so do i need that upgrade?

and if it is not that upgrade then what you were pointing?

the one ebay you showed I talked to them, and they replied that they had to open the box to see if the content are there or not, how funny, a product from t-mobile needed inspection!!!!

Thanks again.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
yea it seems that a lot of people on ebay inspect a phone and its in great "used" shape they'll try to list it as new. the easiest way to find out if its new or not is buy taking the back cover off and looking for dust anyway. but anyway. the upgrade i was talking about is lets say you have a contract with t-mobile every two years you can get a new phone and renew your contract. by doing so you can get a phone much cheaper because your signing on to a new two year contract with them. normally they knock off a couple hundred dollars when your able to do an upgrade.

here is an example of buying a phone at wirefly with an upgrade: t-mobile.com has the mytouch 4g listed for $129.99 shown here. but if you qualify for a two year upgrade you can get the same phone from wirefly for

free

shown here. thats a $130 savings for the same phone using the same upgrade just buying it at a different place. this price is only good if you are a new customer or if you qualify for an upgrade. you can check to see if you do qualify for one from the site but i checked earlier and they said check back later. you can also contact t-mobile and ask them when you'll be due for one or if you know when you joined with t-mobile just add two years and thats when you'll be due for one. i joined in oct of 2009 so i will be due for my upgrade this coming oct 2011.

if you aren't due for an upgrade any time soon then your best bet would be to try online store's like circuit city and radioshack or any place like that really. both of those places though i think except promo codes so if you can hunt one down you'll be able to save some money that way.
[HD2 General] islammanjurul:
I was trying to PM you but I don't know why the message is not going, checking the PM Sent Message box, it is showing 0, that means the message was not sent, I tried twice. If you can PM, then msg me.

I tried wirefly and other place, but no HD2 available there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
When I do a nandroid backup it appears to also include the apps that are installed also. Does this mean I can remove the actual apps from the SD Card to save space or does the nandroid backup merely reference the app from the SD Card, therefore meaning I have to leave them where they are?

EDIT: I've just viewed my SD Card on my notebook pc and can't find where the .apk's are located. Where are they stored if I move them to SD?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
NANDROID backups EVERYTHING. every setting, shortcut, app, etc.

now what you see on your SD are some files that apps put there - like map application stores downloaded maps, your downloaded mp3 go there etc. NANDROID does NOT include that.

however it DOES include the .android_secure folder. inside this folder there is android app data moved to SD with froyo a2sd (move to SD/USB storage in android > settings > applications) you cannot see this files but they are there. these are NOT apk files, these are some data files. the data files are settings in apps. if you somehow manage to delete .android_secure you would lose all saved games and apps settings (of the apps that stored this info in .android_secure(

.apk files, if present on SD at all, will be on ext partition (invisible in windows) however it only applies to ROM that supports A2SD+ (some custom obviously, and it is there only if you formatted your SD to FAT32 + EXT3/4) NANDROID also includes SD-EXT.

to sum it all up. after you make a NANDROID, yes you can delete stuff from SD - this will only delete whatever app had there (like some fancy ringtones for facebook, downloaded maps of google maps, downloaded voices of SVOX or some game files like levels or sounds etc), but NOT this app settings or login files stored in .android_secure (unless you delete that too obviosly). so in case of restoring a NANDROID you would have your whole internal back + sd-ext + .android_secure. but if you deleted stuff from SD apps would have to redownload it or re-do it. but their settings would be untouched (like 'remember me' in some app login would still work fine)

--------------------

looking back at your original Q:

yes you can delete stuff from SD now, NANDROID has nothing to do with it. it only backups .android_secure from SD - app settings, remembered login etc.

Is it possible to change the splash screen on the G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuhfhrh:
I wish I could find a good guide on how but I'm sure anything's possible
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
Do you mean the boot animation? You can it's easy.. Search the g2x themes forums for the honeycomb boot animation thread that's what I have
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I already know you can change the boot animation. I'm talking about the LG Logo when you turn on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Yes it's doable, but it involves "decompiling" the boot.img file, changing a file inside it (the boot image), and then "recompiling" the boot.img file.

htc msging app sucks balls. download some other msging apps like go sms from market, should help :)

hit thanks if i helped you ;)
[Wildfire General] mobilemaduk:
tried both Go SMS and Handcent and both show the same issue. She has one thread with nearly 1700 messages in which seems to be causing the issue.

Any more ideas??
[Wildfire General] mobilemaduk:
As a last resort i have gone into settings\applications\all apps\messaging and cleared all data. This has cleared all messages and then i have set up the sms app to delete sms over 100 per conversation to avoid this in future

EDIT: This did not work. SMS all still there
[Wildfire General] mobilemaduk:
Right I think I have finally found a way to remove the messages. Ive downloaded "my phone explorer" and used my laptop to delete the messages remotely. Now she has SMS housekeeping set to remove messages over 100 per conversation it should look after itself
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
deleting messages is a real PITA. It took me about 24 hours to delete 3xxx messages once. You can delete threads with applications like handcent or stock SMS app, they will appear to freeze but after a while they will complete.

A better app I found is "SMS delete". It deletes messages one per one (with options like only delete from that number, only messages containing this word, only older than xx days, ...) and it runs in the background and also when the phone screen is off. It's still slow, but a lot less annoying, and it deletes faster the less messages there are still left on the phone.

I am searching it on the market but I can't find it as of now, I restored it myself using titanium backup. It's a green envelope with a green arrow if you would come across it...

*edit* this one http://android-apps.com/applications/communication/sms-delete-2/ but can't find it in the market, good luck

and restart the phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
did you restart the phone? no
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
My CRT animation has no lag. The pixelation effect is the bug that needs to be solved. Also, you can temporarily fix the pixel-effect when installing LCD Density and set it to 240 (it already is set to this I know) and press apply.

Your device will reboot and the pixel-effect is gone, but now it looks all white. It should not look like this either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
I'm on stock kg1. I renamed the file last night, rebooted and it kinda worked - blank screen before screen-off, which isn't right either. But then this morning, the pixelated screen-off is BACK!!!! I renamed the file back to its original name, and guess what - blank screen before screen-off again. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mista1982:
The LCD Density trick dosen't work. I try this. And I think this was the solution.. but after i change the position from an app in app drawer from Go Launcher EX I get the pixeled-laggy CRT Effect back.

Yesterday i remove the ScreenCaputre.apk and restarted. I was happy to have the real CRT effect from Nexus S.

But now i try to change in Settings the 2G -> Networtk to 3G. go back. switch off the display and boooooooooooom CRT Pixeled-Laggy effect si BACK.

I try both, to delete the screen capture and to setup the density.. Both was fail. thumbs down.

I am at Litening ROM 1.5 with Blue steel Theme. I will switch all animations off so i never get the ****ing CRT pixel Bug.

Here is my CRT Bug:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Once more, removing the ScreenCapture apk REMOVES the pixel-effect.

It does NOT make the CRT animation look like it should!!

"Assumed fixed CRT" - The CRT animation people consider as the 'fixed' one is just a white flash.

"Supposed fixed CRT" - How the CRT animation should look, is different, you see the image displayed on your screen being ripped appart in red/green/blue and fade to the middle.

Take a close look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lv1p4TvRw4

In the video, you see the large clock actually being sucked to the middle, this is how it is supposed to look. I am just trying to make this clear :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mista1982:
Yesterday i removed the screen capture and today i have the PIXEL Bug.. the pixel look like chess field.. like my Video witch i have posted..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dima613:
Just tested it..

Removing screencapture.apk doesn't solve the CRT bug (pixel effect) at all .

And moreover, why should it? Bug appears even when you dont launch that app. I personally never use screencapture.apk . But still have the bug...

It looks like that everyone here who were patient enough to wait and see if bug comes back, rather than reporting at once that it works, still have this problem...

This thread seems to be a bit misleading... Isn't it?

I froze the screen capture app yestoday and i still have not got the bug back but then it was always fixed by a reboot for a short time anyway. I will report.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbong777:

And i Have the Pixel Bug Problem since I have the Galaxy S2. I think this is a major Problem. So Samsung disabled the effect. Maybe cause the Mali GPU???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
The CRT pixel effet is a bug that's alot deeper than cosmetic fixes. You guys should stop trying to fix it unless you compile a new version of surfaceflinger.cpp where the actual code for the "Electron beam" (Alias CRT effet) code is located. It is probably a hardware support which isn't fully coded into surfaceflinger, because Samsung themselves disabled the CRT effect due to this. So unless you guys dig into source code to correct the way Electron beam is handled, no modding of XML's, deleting files or anything else that scratches the surface will work.

No offense, but the time and energy wasted on trying to correct this could be put to better use.

What is the easiest way to wirelessly transfer files between Android & iOS devices? I've read some options with using bluetooth or FTP. I want something simple anyone could do. I haven't tried it yet, but Hoccer looks like the easiest option I've seen.

I want to transfer large files without wires or existing wifi network. I don't have wifi at home, and don't always want to use a laptop to move files through. I'm looking for something that is point to point. I don't think all iPod's (touch) have bluetooth, so that is somewhat limiting.

Something like Dropbox is a big waste of time and bandwidth in my case.

Also, anything better for android to android file transfer?
