I would still be rocking mine from freshman yr of '99 if it wasn't stolen 2 yrs ago. Got another after that and it started falling apart from the day I bought it. Back then you could cut holes in for your CD player (mine didn't have a headphone line hole) and the material would not rip or fray any more from that hole. The new one's zippers busted in 6 months. They don't make em like they used to. You can just feel the difference in the stores. Lower quality all over the thing.

I have the Camelbak Lobo, which is basically just the 100oz bladder and enough room for keys cigs and phone. It's a life saver at festivals when I'm jumping around all day. But I have to get a new bladder for mine, asshole security at Spring Awakening wouldn't let me in with it unless I took the bladder out even though the website said they were fine and I saw hundreds more when I got it.

Alternatively I have some buddies that like the OGIO bladder bags.

I also have a Fossil messenger bag for my gadgets, chargers and meds, and maybe a change of clothes. Its held up really well, Fossil makes good stuff.

Bought this bag for my laptop. Works perfect. It travels with me everyday. I paid almost $100 for mine a couple years ago and it still looks just as good as the day I bought it. Built tough. I know a 17" laptop isn't ideal at all for portability, but if you have one and need to take it places, I definitely recommend this one. I was looking at messenger bags for it, but decided against it because the space for extras like cables and books this has, and I'm not carrying it everywhere, so looks aren't a priority, this one is the best bag I found. And I shopped in brick stores and online. This thing is built with strong materials and padding everywhere. Very nice.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Hi,

Iv noticed if i leave the wireless inactive for a period of time (still connected at full strength) it will stop working as in there will be no data activity at all. I wont be able to access any websites, or use whats app messenger. The only way to resolve this problem is to switch the wireless off and back on again for it to reconnect and normal data activity begins.

Android version: 2.3.3

Software number: 2.50.405.2

I have the latest software installed including the recent wireless fix that was sent out OTA. I thought that would of fixed it, but clearly not.

Does HTC know about this and any fix in the pipeline?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Anyone????
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 112.bkt:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Thanks for that, but its already been set to that, and this keeps on happening. Everytime for a long period of inactivity it freggin stops working :mad: then i need to switch wireless off/on for all the que'd messages to appear all at once!!

What ROM are you using and what radio??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Im not using any ROMS, its just the oringinal software that it came with. How do I check what radio im using??

TIA.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Oh...my radio is: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 112.bkt:
The Radio you have is fine..

this can be one of the following problems

1. your phone software is playing up

2. your Wi-Fi router DHCP leasetime (google this) is too low hence the drop out.

3. your Wi-Fi antenna is not functioning as it should (I doubt it)

What I would suggest is try updating your phone software to the latest. if you already have the latest version then I would suggest you backup any important data saved on phone and do a Factory data reset under Setting > SD & phone storage, if that still doesn't work I would check your router settings step 2, try everything I've mentioned if all else fails........

You can always root your phone and Install a custom ROM. I used to have so many problems with the stock HTC rom: gps not fixing, bad reception, call history problems, system slowdowns now I am Using Android Revolution 5.2.5 with Radio_12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M Excellent reception NO PROBLEMS and a very fast and healthy phone :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiKRuLeZ:
Hi thanks for that! I think its due to the software installed on the phone. Before the froyo update, the server lease time was exactly the same and no problemo. Its just recently after I installed froyo things started messing up with the wifi. But iv selected the 'Best Wi-Fi performance' option and it seems fine so far, no inactivity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folavo:
I have a very interesting story to tell:

I bought my Samsung Galaxy S a couple of months ago. It had Froyo installed (JQ3 firmwar I believe) and wouldn't let me update to a more recent Gingerbread firmware. Also 3G wasn't working at all; tried creating APN etc and asking support to Vodafone (my carrier) and their final conclusion was that my device was bugged.

At this point, I rooted my device and moved to the MIUI rom (gingerbread). Everything was working fine, including my 3G connection! At first I thought that the 3G problem was probably some issue with old Froyo firmware but now I installed the latest JVR Gingerbread stock firmware and 3G is not working again!!

It seems very strange that I can only get mobile data working with a custom rom and noone of the stock firmware seems to work for me ... anyone has any clue on what could be doing this?

Like a complete prat, I have lost my boot and recovery img!!!

I was trying to get clockwork recovery as the recovery img and then accidentally did:

instead of

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I have found an unlocked bootloader from here (third one down) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9869067&postcount=38

I now have no phone and I need it for work, can anyone help me, im desperate?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Why not just flash cwm recovery then flash a ROM?

There's a sticky in this forum section with almost all full ROMs (stock Android, no need to flash cwm recovery for the signed ones, can use stock recovery) or head over to dev forums and look for a custom ROM you like (need cwm recovery).

Be sure to pick the right ROM for your device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
you don't need a bootloader! :D you need a boot.img! a kernel with ramdisk! ^^
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
If the following command was executed successfully:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Next step is to download a ROM of your choice and flash it via ClockWorkMod recovery and you're good.

FYI, the command

fastboot flash boot ...

does not flash your "bootloader". It is used to flash the kernel, which will already be included in the ROM you downloaded.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
No problem. Flash your recovery using the correct command (above).

If you have access to fastboot, use your volume keys as up and down, and navigate to the "Recovery" option. When your phone boots into recovery, you can mount your USB and copy a ROM to your device.

Then go back, do a factory/data wipe, and flash the zip you copied. This should restore your phone.

Thank you all for your replies and help and apologies for the late delay.

I have been away for a few days and with your help and a bit of playing about I managed to sort out the problem. I was probably a bit hasty to ask for help but actually felt that I had bricked my phone!

This happened because I was following two different fastboot flash guides on the net...lesson being just keep to one!

Also, when I lost cwm I didnt know how to get it back...but again you can only learn from your mistakes and I did.

I managed to get cmw reinstalled and cm7 flashed.

Now I am running the latest MIUI and it is pretty good.

I was just told by Verizon there is an update ready now. Not here yet though; just checked.

I asked because of the radio issues Im having. As I read there are others with some sort of problem like stuck in 1x, no 3g, calls not going through and even swapping off a network extender to a tower. The list seems to go on with these type of issues.

They said if no other phone or a signal detector other than the Droid 3 looses service where I do, then they'll give me an option for different device. What a load of CRAP!! Hopefully this baseband will fix it all for good.

I was just on the phone with Verizon last night. They're sending me a new phone as I'm having problems with GPS. They told me they don't have any idea when an update will be released.

If you are getting an OTA most likely there is an SBF as well. Please someone who hasnt updated go download the Motorola Software Update program. It should download a file that you can use as a stock sbf to return to.

https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/Motorola_Software_Update.exe
[Motorola Droid 3] scottml:
the2dcour: I tried working the rsddownload server for about 3 days prior to going for the OTAs instead.

Issues:

- I was never able to trigger any downloads via Moto's software, no matter how I tried to tweak it.

- Or by using the lookup API directly (https://rsd.motorola.com/cs/servlets/SRPConsumerServlet) discussed here: http://and-developers.com/sbf (NOTE: This works great for overseas phones) -- The main issue being you need to pass in 2 values (flex and firmware, or flex and apiflex) from the phone which will bring up a list of matching SPF URLs. For the North American phones those 2 values are sort of obscure.

I think if you get more eyes on it tho, we could come up with some way of grabbing an SBF, but it will take some brainstorming. Also, I think once you get a URL back to the rsddownload site, you have to hack a username/password to actually download it.

Here's a fairly recent Chinese Blog about some guy grabbing a file from the Moto RSD site via the API. But, there again he's using an overseas phone where the info you need is literally on the "About Phone" screen.
