[HTC EVO 3D] .TeeJay.:
Hey man I feel for for sure.

Around April time I got enough money on my birthday to buy an evo, so I decided to shop on craigslist. I found a guy selling one for about 300 at the time and I met with him checked it out and did the exchange. I go straight to sprint after work to get it activated and the guy tells me that it has a bad esn and cannot be activated. I was super pissed and called the guy back and was calm about it and he was ignoring everything.

I decided to check out the phone a bit and see if I could find some clues to who it belonged to and I go to the tab About Phone. I see a name that looked really familiar and I knew this kid from my high school. Even though we werent great friends he was a cool guy and now that I knew it was stolen if I tried to sell it then I would get in trouble. I thought about it a day or so and decided to do everything to make contact with the guy from school and even though it was hard I got ahold of him and gave him his phone back. Filed a police report and still havent heard anything back from the police. It was the worst birthday I have ever had.

So in the end I was out 300 dollars plus the 250 more I payed for another one because I had to have the phone but, I felt good about it. I lost alot but, in my early teens I was bad kid at times and had a problem with stealing. I did alot of bad things in my past and luckily didnt pay the way I should have. I feel in a way this is my punishment and also a step in the right direction. I cant make up for everything I did in the past but this could be karma and I felt amazing knowing I helped someone out.

Edmund Burke said it...or at least he gets the credit for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] qitupx:
Everyone keeps saying call the police...have you ever considered that perhaps this phone belonged to the seller and he temporarily lost it and filed an insurance claim and then found the phone and thought he could sell it? Not everyone is evil.
[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
Yes, thank you!

My father told me that long ago. It helps to give me the courage to do things that I do not want to do or are inconvenient to do when it must be done...
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
Sure, and that's why the guy used an untraceable number and won't answer the phone anymore.

I've always thought that the fact you can take any phone to Cricket -- stolen/lost or bad ESN -- and get it flashed to their service no questions asked. I think that increases fraud.
[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
It may but then Cricket is not responsibility for the mal-intentions of a bad person. They are merely in a position to capitalize on the situation.

I guess it is better than a perfectly good phone becoming spare parts. Cricket is like a second chance for abused phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
take of video of that in 3d!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] goodluck69:
WOW! I can't believe how many people have commented and nobody picked up on this. IF the phone is stolen and you know it, then you turn around and sell it (regardless of what you tell your buyer), you are trafficking in stolen property. You will receive the same punishment under the law that you want the guy you bought it from to suffer.

It is really simple, it is called ETHICS, you know, the right thing to do. You need to go to your local police department, take the phone down to them and explain all the details. Let them know that Sprint has reported it as stolen. You will likely loose the phone and the money you gave the guy for the phone, but it is the right thing to do.

Besides, what if the guy you sell it to gets caught with the stolen phone? They are going to trace it back to you and all you are going to have is story about a guy that you bought a phone from on CL that you can't identify. Even if you could identify him, you are going to be nailed for selling stolen property. I know, it's a bad deal, but you should try and protect yourself from going to jail due to poor judgment.

(I am NOT a lawyer and this is not legal advice or council...just sayin')

Like the title says, this is what I need help with. Let me start by saying I am not new to the scene, just new to the G2, and it's been awhile since I've gotten my hands dirty :) I need help with rooting my g2, as I have only done it on my N1. Whoever helps me, will get a donation. I want to either root 2.3.4, which I am currently running stock, or downgrading to achieve root. From what I've seen it looks tough to root 2.3.4 if its even possible atm. Either way, I just want root! You may either email me, to set up a time to walk me through it, or hit me up on gtalk. Either way, I would love this done asap! Again, this won't go as a favor that is not returned. I just would like some help so I do it right. I have adb ready to go, and know my way around the processes, just want to get it right. So either email me, or on gtalk. Or post contact info below for me to contact you. natehinn@gmail.com gtalk = natehinn

can anyone help me its so emergency plzz !!!

thanks for every body:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tetuoani:
To get back to your original ROM/SPL has never been easier.

Uninstallation

Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seob:
Got hard to res him

same situation from nuino, but link to dumped ROM's ar broken. :(

There's two. One on the bottom for voice, and one on the very top for noise cancellation. The other holes seen on the back are for reception really.

[Xoom General] bobblack:
I'm sure that I'm not alone with wanting to sync my desktop/laptop bookmarks with el Xoomio. The 'problem' is that I use Firefox on the PC, and the native Android browser on the Xoom. I've tried Firefox for Android but it sucks compared to the Android browser... so, what do you guys use to synchronize your bookmarks across devices and platforms?
[Xoom General] playya:
load up Chrome and import your bookmarks and then you can use a host of bookmark managers to sync with Xoom..... Its not like chrome is a terrible browser its my everyday. But instead of driving yourself crazy this is an easy fix, plus there are import bookmark apps all over the market https://market.android.com/search?q=bookmarks&so=1&c=apps
[Xoom General] bobblack:
Yeah I have chrome on the pc as well - I kinda have to as a developer. But it doesn't live up to firefox. On android it's the other way around.

I'm also not looking to import, but to sync. There are quite a few syncing tools out there, hence my question about which way you use (if any). I am aware of the existence of the market.

Sorry if my question was not clear.
[Xoom General] bobblack:
The main reason for me preferring chrome over firefox on the xoom is the lack of tabs in firefox... I really hope they add that soon, it's kind of a necessity for me. Also, chrome loads pages way faster than firefox ( At least for now). I really hope that will get fixed soon :)

Thanks for the xmarks tip, checking that out now!

Thanks but as said she did look on here. I was asking for her and using the app and not the pc is a pain.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Well, if you Dont see them there, it would be helpful to know which apps she deleted.

QQ, if she needs the apps to take the OTA, she must not have root. If she doesnt have root, how did she delete system apps?

(Or did she unroot to take OTA? And if so, is she aware there is no root available yet for the GB ota?)

MAJOR MAJOR EDIT!!!!! I stand corrected! Holy crap! Root for OTA GB announced today woo!!!hoo!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 5FOOTER:
She rooted and backed up. And deleted some stock apps. Then her sd card took a crap, and she got some back but not all. She does have the htc stocks apk but it wont install i think thats the only one she needs so she can update. She is not rooted anymore she didn't know she needed all the apps to update. Im just not familiar w the Evo enough yet. Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Just have her run a ruu. Newest ota can now get root. Why the hell does someone need all the stock apps? Sorry, i Dont get it. If she has root, flash a GB rom, if she doesnt, than root her practice phone.

Sorry, maybe im not understanding the problem.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Shed not rooted, but can't update. ??? Root her phone and explain to stay away from OTAs. Sorry if I'm missing something.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 5FOOTER:
Thats what shes gonna do. Root and run a custom rom. Thanks for the help. It is stupid you have to have all the stock apps to get the ota though...

On the iPhone/iPod Touch, there is an app called DreamBoard. What DreamBoard does is incredible. Its been a really long time i've touched it since i've had my Droid incredible 2 and lately i've been really interested in the WP7 Launcher and everything. I recalled the page, and the community apart of DreamBoard ported windows phone 7, called it OS7 and it exploded. Before the WP7 phones came out, my friends had it on their iPods and iPhones, which then convinced them to get droids and WP7s because it was possible to port over anything and everything. Now what im asking, is how possible is it to use those mods? The pages are below showing you and explaining what it is exactly. I did buy DreamBoard from Cydia a while ago to support. Like i said, There are so many Mods and so many coding tutorials i was wondering if it could be possible to port all those over. Check it out, and tell me what you guys think. I'd love to see this happen!

Have used dreamboard, but to be honest it just accentuates why I miss android, shows to me just how basic the iPhone ui really is, great mod, but once you have gone through this much modifications to your iPhone you really have to ask yourself, is the iPhone right for me.
[General Topics] x Eacott:
Mhm i do agree, but to me i see it as much more making the phone do what you want it do to. I do love my droid, but i'd really truly would love to see this. I'm beginning to think about how i can use all those mods and mod my WP7 Launcher
[General Topics] arvinghost:
it would be nice to have a launcher like the dreamboard that allow you to customize your phone freely.

on the other hand there is something called Go launcher for androids which is much nicer than iphones. it has some great widgets which iphone people been dying to copy and especially the live wallpaper which the dream of having lol

[Droid Pro General] dylanmetzger:
I am one of the many Droid Pro users that did not receive the Gingerbread update before Verizon pulled the OTA update. I decided tonight that I would try to update with an update.zip file using the recovery method. The install appeared to be going well right up until the end. At around 90% or so the update failed and abandoned the update, I selected to restore the original firmware and restarted the phone. The phone restarted and this time the Motorola icon had changed from the normal white icon to a red icon, I'm assuming that something changed. The phone then went black, power still applied to the screen but just black. I could hear the phone starting up as it made its characteristic DROID noise and the keyboard and screen buttons illuminated, however nothing shows up on the screen, it still remains black.

I have tried numerous methods to reset or restore but I am unable to get anything to display on the screen other than the red icon as the device powers up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so if I go to settings>call settings>other settings/phone settings, it says default mesg etc. What exactly is that for and how does it work?
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
I'm pretty sure it's designed to send a caller a txt and reject their call. I just made a few test calls from another phone to mine with the screen locked/off and unlocked/on and I do not see the option. Perhaps it's another missing feature or it needs to be enabled somewhere?

EDIT: Apparently it's supposed to be automatic. See this thread as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-htc-sensation/94296-text-message-after-rejected-call.html

I just tried and no text was sent.

Maybe it's for while you are on a call already? I don't know how to make it work either. Sucks that they put things on the phone that have to be unlocked ie screen shots , this feature ...

[Xoom General] playya:
Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?

Also are you stock or rooted on both devices
[Xoom General] Walker1977:
Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.
[Xoom General] playya:
ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...

Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this

Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.

Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.

Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet

Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help

Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...
[Xoom General] Walker1977:
i did google it
[Xoom General] playya:
ok well I hope my answers help you... I have an Evo so its basically the same phone... I have laid out the steps for you too try... Wifi tethering is quite easy... If I may ask I know sometimes you search the wrong thing and its frustrating but what did you enter to find out how to tether you phone to your Xoom...

http://tinyurl.com/3br93db - check out the link and the very first result

Good luck
[Xoom General] Walker1977:
My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks
[Xoom General] champers:
Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] brandogg:
I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.
