[HD2 Android NAND Development] tuktukscotty:
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me. I am new to the HTC HD2 after coming from the wildfire. I have tried to install Pyramid onto the phone and thought I had done everything properly but for some reason it never worked. All went well, it said it had installed and then just stayed at the HTC HD2 boot screen....

I have the right radio, the magdlr and clockworkmod which I think I did everything right. I used the 250mb clockworkmod (if that's right! (middle option)) is that the right one for this rom?.

I really want to get my hd2 onto Android as I am not keen on Windows 6.5 and defo not keen on whats available on the market!.

If somebody would be able to help me that would be much appreciated.

Thanks Scott.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pronor:
Hi, I think you should use he Pyramid thread for these questions.., but maybe you forgot to create an Ext partition?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
Welcome to HD2 forums scott,

For starters, i would advise you to go through the Forum Rules before posting and getting flamed upon by others.

As for your HD2, i recommend you start with a CM7 or MIUI build as the pyramid roms are still under dev and have various glitches also they are quite big for the EU HD2 and require an ext3 partition on your sdcard. For further details on the bugs, please refer to the specific rom's thread which you are trying to boot.

If you have any problem, please post the query in the related thread/forums.

This subforum is for HD2 Android NAND Development, not for personal Q&A.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tuktukscotty:
Hi, I didn't want to bombared the Pyramid thread in case it was nothing to do with Pyramid rom and more to do with me doing something wrong in the executing of the process. I did create the partition through clockworkmod as it said for apps2sd.

I have now put on a custom windows rom so that I can get the phone back up and running until I find out what is wrong.

Thanks Scott.

I have a T-Mobile Update Service notification in my notifications bar. Did we just get Gingerbread? Or is this an update to my ROM (GingerClone)?

Anyone got info on it? Is it safe to update OTA while on a custom ROM?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I don't think it would be safe to update while on a custom rom. Since it's an update it would need the original rom to update from. But I'm very curious as to what it is. If it's got fixes and optimization then maybe we could build new or better pre-existing custom roms using the new tweaks.

We need someone to be a guinea pig, lol. I don't have enough experience to odin and recover from anything severe, should anything happen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I'm odining back to stock to try to update now, and yes, you can't update with a custom rom. you must be completely stock to update. so i'll test it and post instructions.

EDIT: http://support.t-mobile.com/message/6140#6140

According to this, this update is just a bugfix, not gingerbread.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
If it drops on the SDcard as an update.zip, can you post it so we may all get it early?

Is it not as simple anymore? Or can someone post the Full Odin image?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
It downloads to /cache, but I'll get the update.zip posted when I get the ota request again, as I haven't gotten it again after odining yet.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
how do i get back to stock so i can update this?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
You have to use odin, see AyoTeddy's post in the development forum.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
my phone never recieved the update notification?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
it's a staggered rollout, so you'll get it sometime within the next few days. It won't work unless you're stock without root.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
How is a /cache update applied?

(I know we will be given instructions when it's posted... I am just curious.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
That's just where the update downloads from T-mobile. It will be a regular update.zip when it is posted.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
I think my phone has already downloaded the update file. Its asking to install. I don't want to install or odin. How do I stop the notification from showing up on the status bar?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
is this update going to fix that annoying thing with the screen where you can see a graph like thing at times?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
we'll have to wait and see what is included in the update if Tmo specifies .. hopefully they will as they do the other devices
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
My wife got it this morning on hers but I did not get it on mine yet. I will let you know if I notice any changes but she is out running errands so I don't have a chance to look at it yet.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
Not sure what it fixes but it IS ok to install on the smooth maximus ginger clone. I did it by accident and everything seems to be working just fine.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
is your ROM back to stock or still looks like gingerclone is on your phone ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
Still ginger clone. All apps. everythings fine.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
JoshEwAhh, can you look in your Settings>About>BaseBandVersion?

What does that say?

My hunch is that you didn't update, as I had the same thing happen, it rebooted like it installed, but it didn't do anything.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
sduvick you are right I still have T839UVKD1 and not the updated T839UVKG2. But my update notification in the status bar is gone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yea he still needs to be on stock to successfully install the update. I'll see if kies has the update yet.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
yep, that's what happened to mine as well. Can you use either root explorer or adb to look in /cache and see if there's an update.zip?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
There are three folers in the cache folder and only one file which is downloadfile.apk I believe. no update.zip
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JoshEwAhh:
I have figured a way to get rid of the annoying update notification. Use ES file explorer and go tp /system/app and remove wssyncmldm.apk and the notification will go away. I cut and pasted onto sd card.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Turns out wife haws not gotten update yet, "battery too low" error message (even when plugged in!). charging now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yeah, TMO's OTA updates only install if you have more than 50% battery.

could you check her cache folder to see if there might be a file in there that might be the update? it would most likely be a couple hundred Mbs
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kman95:
They added a new books app. No other noticeable changes so far.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
so they ADDED more bloatware!!! How lovely!!! *sarcasm*
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
So has anyone figured out if there's anything actually worth getting this update for? Cuz most stuff I've found info about it is more bloatware ppl complaining about lost text messages and the mobile data on/off choice in the power menu being gone... sounds like nothing is better :-/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
To anyone who has this update:

Is the phone less glitchy after the update? (Less freeze ups, less lag when pressing the power button or being able to swipe the pseudo-lockscreen with no lag?)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
EXACTLY. There is a BOOKS app (Google ebook reader) & Mobile On/Off removed from power button but that is it.

Hopefully overall it is less buggy. memory management (and constant rebooting) is hopefully fixed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Can you upload the update cause i have no update from kies .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
not sure how
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Various fixes and more bloat at the expense of losing some functionality.. That's not how updates are supposed to work. I do use the Mobile Connection toggle.

If this fixes the keyboard input lag and random scrolling in the sunlight then it will be worth rebuilding a custom rom. Any idea if anyone has tried the update to check these?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
Well I just got the update notification but I'm not sure if it downloaded already or not. I just copied my cache folder and put it in the zip. Let me know if this helps.

^<As I bloody was...>^
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d4n137_91:
Shoot, I knew hoping for Gingerbread was too much when I rebooted this phone and saw 2.2.1 -_-
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I am going to drop stock in, copy these files in /cache, and see where this takes me...

With a Kernel update, I hope that I can still root!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
I would bet money it fixes neither of these, especially the random scrolling which is a hardware issue due to the trackpad being light activated
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
On the tmo forums someone said in the update you can now disable the trackpad
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
good, (and good I didn't bet any real money) I hope that would'nt affect going inot download mode if ya need to Odin, either way I just covered mine with a small piece of vinyl cuz I got sick of it scrolling randomly
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
nah it wouldnt. it would only disable it while the system/ROM is running, so no worries about download mode
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pheer6224:
Thanks, so you know, your method also worked through root uninstaller, by searching for 'wssyncmldm', the package is titled Device Management. Freezing it didn't do the trick so I just uninstalled, no issues thus far.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
Great! That's like the only thing I want out of an Update seriously! I live in Hawaii damn it we got sun all the time! That stupid trackpad drives me NUTS! :mad:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
ok i'm going to give this update a shot and see what happens. i'm going back to ODIN stock, restore my last rooted stock image, unroot, drop cache folder, update... sound about right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
ok never mind... i couldn't get it to unroot for some reason rrrr
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
Yes "Enable/Disable optical joystick" is under Accessibility section of Settings
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Can you post the update ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
if i have the time i'll try to post it later tonight, but i'll surely put it up soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ms0chez:
Will we be able to run Gingerclone on this update?

I know on my Charge everytime there was a new update their had to be a new rom made for that update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcsww:
A lot of users over on the new T-Mobile forums are having issues with this update. Diabling the joystick would be great to have but the phone rebooting on it's own, screens going black, unresponsive touch screen, and a lot of other issues have gotten worse. I'm not allowing this update to hit my device until they fix it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ms0chez:
My boyfriend was already having these problems with his sidekick before this update. Especially the unresponsive touch screen and reboots.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Someone should figure out how to pull just the baseband update out of the ota I'm not very droid savvy but I'm pretty sure the only important thing in the update that I would want is that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I was hearing more issues with the baseband update as well. It is very simple to pull the baseband update out, but i'm not sure if that would benefit anyone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I'm actually happy with the update, been running it since ayoteddy posted the .tar, and have had zero problems. seems smooth and fast, and then I put the updated Bali kernel on it. battery life for me could be a tad better, but that's about it.

Browser scroll

On two devices, after the OTA update, scrolling with the touchscreen in the browser causes freezes. Sometimes I get a buzz, then three quick buzzes, then the browser force-closes, or the device reboots. Sometimes I have to pull the battery. This started happening immediately after the OTA.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
my device is better after the update actually. alot of people complain about it but mine works amazing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I get the buzzes sometimes, and they seem random (other than the phone is running an app). I have the same issue on a Samsung Intercept VM.

I have it WAY less now that I am not running stock... (on EITHER device.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stumpyz9:
Hey, just wanted to see who else out there is waiting for the nexus 3. What are your thoughts on it and what do you want to see specs/manufacturer wise. I'm hoping for a HTC dual core 1.5ghz with 1gb ram,10mp rear camera and 2mp ffc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Solf:
If it doesn't have hardware buttons (), it might as well not exist for all I would care personally...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jac2911:
still dual-core? i think next year wil be quad-core year. so better they use quad core in nexus 3. now i only waiting for quad-core phone and virtualization for mobile platform. so i can multiple boot within 1 phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ultimaex:
Hello. I have got two EU HD2s and problems with one of them. If I start a phone call with one of them on Sense builds the phone seems to 'freeze'. I can end the call by using the end call button but the screen stays black and the buttons stay illuminated.

There is no way to wake up the phone again and i need to pull the battery. Has anyone else had such problems and got a solution for me?

Edit: I just had an idea. Maybe the proximity sensor is the problem. How can i find out when it is toggled?

Edit2: installed a proximity app and its perma reporting 0,0cm. I will open the phone and see if something is wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shankar10:
Might be something wrong with the actual installation or the ROM itself. Try another ROM or re install.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
Not sure I like the tiles, but the app list is great. I do also like the background - when WP first came out I wanted custom backgrounds, but I've mellowed a bit in that sense and don't think a photo would work too well, but something like what's shown would.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cndymn_:
looks very very nice! especially the rss feed and the app list
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
I dont like the unneccesary blue border chrome around the tiles. Metro embraces minimalism. I like the app list option but I use the search feature 90% of the time. Otherise I like the looks of it. I think semi transparent tiles with custom backgrounds would be nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason.hamilton:
I think he is saying more of, this is what should be possible. Different themes that change the colors and background to add some personality. I would love to see these kinds of features added. In my opinion, the biggest drawback on wp7 is the lack of personality. My phone should be exactly that. My phone. How i want it to look and feel. Some day i am sure there will be themes like this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I like it. Dont know why, but it reminds me of a classy, expensive watch. Nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Original is better IMO, don't turn this into Android lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
exactly my thoughts
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
The 1.5x2 tile with interactive elements is pretty sweet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N!njaDuck:
I like the ideas. Very thoughtful.

I would also add that limiting the screen Real-estate used by the arrow to get to the programs list would be a great addition. There must be a better way. This would allow for larger tiles (width wise).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
I'd like GREK's layouts and graphics, looks cool. I hope MS will implement (at least!) a custom background for the home screen!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Perlnx:
Not sure in live tile,

but i like the app category concept.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
I've seen this concept a couple months back, I like things better the way they're headed now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
I have a feeling that MS is going for a certain aesthetic with the home screen, and expecting them to get rid of the arrow and blank space on the right is wishful thinking.

[Windows Phone 7 General] yipcanjo:
Personally, I would like the ability to have some "favorites" pinned to the top of the App List screen. My most commonly used items are pinned to the Start screen, of course, and then my next most-used items are pinned to the top of the App List screen. The rest just fall under the App List itself. Does that make sense?

This is actually how I use Windows 7: most used stuff is pinned to the Taskbar, the next most used is pinned to my Start Menu, and the rest falls under the All Programs menus.

Just my $.02

Also, I like the collapsible App List groups. Clever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Totally agree, I do exactly the same. All the apps i use on a regular basis on taskbar, those I use maybe a few times a month are on the start menu, the rest are under all programs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I do it as well. Its productive. Keeps me from having to look.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It'd make even more sense in WP7. Your Live Tiles on your start screen. Your favorite apps under a favorites menu & the rest under the app list. It would clean up the start screen a lot. I have a lot of apps there right now just for easy access, but don't have live tile support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
I tend to keep my start screen tiles to a minimal few. By minimal I mean less than 40. This includes my marketplace and settings tiles as well as the dialer, people hub, picture hub, Zune, calendar, and messaging hub. All three of my email tiles are on the start screen (this may change with Mango/Linked inboxes).

Most of, if not all of, my other tiles are live tiles except IMDB. That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to a collapsible favorites area. But, I'm also good with things just as they are having the ability to search or use the jump list.

I suppose, however, that the start screen could get a little longer with the increase to 30 live tiles. I guess time will tell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
The concept looks nice. It's nice to watch and work with opposed to current dreadful WP7 look & feel.

Hi, anyone know of a decent car charger that will provide enough power to charge the phone when it is being used with GPS and screen on? Currently when im using navigation the battery goes down even when its plugged in!

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] EyeAndroid:
So the initial reason why I decided on the galaxy tab was because of its incredibly thin profile and light design.

I searched for days picking apart cases so I could keep that thin, light profile.

Well I think we found a winner folks. Its the Acase Ez Leather Folio Case.

It has an excellent feel to it, holding the tablet very tightly inside. It has those nifty magnetic flaps to keep it shut when needed. It has all of the ports cut out properly, including speakers, and the build quality is top notch.

It really has the two best viewing angles you could ask for. Perfect for typing, perfect for watching movies.

When you fold back its flap, it keeps the tablet thin and easy to view in landscape.

I guess my only 2 gripes is there not being a cut out for the charger when the flap is closed. But that seems to be very common among all folio cases. I guess they are trying to keep the dust out. Not a big deal for me as I am pretty good with a ruler and an exacto knife.

My other gripe is the bowing of the edges around the rim of the glass. It doesnt lay completely flat or flush. Although I will say its extremely stiff and probably the best I've seen in comparison. Alot of the other folio cases use a super thin and flapity leather or vinyl and, not only does it look cheap its very loose. This one is definitely an improvement over those. Its tight and uses a very thick, high quality leather, best I've seen.

If your looking for a high quality leather folio case that will keep your tablet thin & light without breaking the bank, then I recommended you go pick this one up on Amazon for $30 Shipped.

Dont forget to hit thanks if this post helped you!!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Raistlin1:
Looks very functional and thin but I am not loving the contrast white stitching.

I can't decide if I want to put full Ghost Armor on my GT or go for one of these type of cases. I would have loved the knock off Apple smart case, hopefully Samsung will approve that one soon. Screw crapple.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] EyeAndroid:
Personally, I love the white stitching. It matches my wallet and shoes! Haha.

Comparing it to all other folio cases, at least this one is unique with its own bit of personality and style. Searching through tons of cases, I was tired of seeing the same boaring straight black cases. I guess to each his own, but I like it cause it stands out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MMcCraryNJ:
Thanks for this! I was about to pull the trigger on the official Samsung case, but then I figured I'd take another quick look at the forums to see if I missed anything. I looked at your post and immediately changed my mind. I was looking for something that didn't add much bulk to the device, but would protect it fairly well. This looks pretty stylish to boot.

Also got a 3 pack of the same company's screen protectors for the Tab for 20 percent off with purchase of this case on Amazon. Ordering the case and the protectors, with next day shipping on Prime was 48 dollars, still about 20 dollars less than the Samsung case. Thank you SO much!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I like the case, just not the stitching, just my opinion.

The problem with getting such a brand new device is there not being anough quality choices in cases. Happens to me a lot because I unfortunately like to be an early adopter. I have spent so much money on Blackberry cases because I changed berries so damn often. Same happene with my Evo, bought a Golla pouch that I thought I would really like and then ended up not liking it so I got something else.

I may just do a full Ghost Armor for now until I find the ideal case, or just get the pasic slip in case for now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dive_junkie76:
I would have to agree on the stitching aspect. I like the case and would definitely buy it but I just think that doesn't sit with me for some reason. Thanks for the review.Nice to get one from a user aspect and not a company. Something I have been reading and searching for all day.
