[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muckky:
Hi, I recently bough a desire Z, I bough it unlocked from a store and it works with any carrier but it had a Vodafone sticker on it, so I guess its one of theirs

I did a lots of research before buying, loose hinge and bad camera was expected.

The surprise is, I literally cannot hear this thing ring on my pocket in urban areas! External speaker is very bad, at very same volume level my 4 years old k790 plays clearly, desire z cracks. Some tones are might be missing. Is this an issue or is it normal? from what I real from gsmarena review jack sound quality of this thing should be outstanding, so should the loudspeaker

I highly doubt any technical service in my country will help me, as for them lack of quality does not counts as a problem. Now I still have time to send this back without a restocking fee but there is only one seller that sells this thing under 800$ and they might not sell to me again. I love this device, i don't want to loose It but I also like to hear my phone ring...

I hope this post is "not noob" enough..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muckky:
time is running out bump
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Does the store have another DZ you can compare the ring volume to? Defective speakers on HTC phones is not unheard of. I remember on my old Tilt/Kaiser, some people said the speaker was fine, others had issues with it crackling at low volume.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Hello, my names Jacob I'm going to join the nexus s community, my phone is being shipped as we speak. I'm leaving the EVO 4g. I really hope I don't regret it. Sorry if its off topic, just want to meet some developers.
[Nexus S General] j0ser:
Cool story bro use the general section. This is the dev forum.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Yeah, nice to meet you!

But a mod is going to move this hehehe
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
I couldn't find the general forum in the mobile. Is it just the nexus s no 4g forum?
[Nexus S General] idelgado782:
Welcome and you won't regret it. I came from an iphone 4 and I LOVE my phone. No regrets for me. Only nexus moving forward.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Yeah I can't wait for it to get here though!
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Welcome aboard, themes and apps, general, q&a, and general are for either phone. The development section is split for 4g and the nexus s for obvious reasons. Congratulations on your move, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the speed increase leaving sense behind among other things :D
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
I don't want to be to much of a noob, but what's it running if it isn't using sense, I know sense is a HTC thing but what does this use?
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
The android os
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
.....Lol, I know what OS it uses. Read the question again.
[Nexus S General] thecoogster:
Read the answer again, it is plain old android
[Nexus S General] lynyrd65:
AOSP, pure unmolested stock android.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Oh okay, well sorry then.
[Nexus S General] lynyrd65:
Don't worry about it!

It's ok, your new.

If you want to know more about your phone in general here is a wikipedia page

If you decide you want to root and start trying new roms here is a great place to start

Some of the skins (in order of best to worst imo)

MIUI

AOSP

HTC Sense

Touchwiz

Motoblur
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Thanks, plan on receiving it today, going to root right away.
[Nexus S General] atrixboy:
Welcome to the forums Jacob. I came from the iPhone 2G to the 3G to the 3GS to the 4. I loved iPhones. I switched to the aria ans fell in love with android. I then went to the captivate then the Atrix. Loved android but the phones just didn't have that.... "spark" I was looking for. So I oredered the Nexus S. Ill never use another phone again. I'm a nexus user forever now. You'll not be displeased at all bro. These are THE android to own
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
sorry just vanilla android, which is what you have before all the manufacturers put the unneeded skin and fiddle with the frame works to make their phones different from one another(these same modification also hinder the speed up that their phones can be updated from each android release)

Its funny actually all these great developers here can get the source code the day its out make a almost fully functioning rom/port while these big name companies stumble around for god knows how long to make an update when they have full access to the drivers and such

While I will admit from froyo to gingerbread was nothing monumental in way of adding lots functionality but security updates those were needed(still waiting to use my nfc to buy sodas from teh coke machines in the mall though)

Enjoy your nexus

Almost 3:00 still hasn't came in, so anxious..... Will update when it does!!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
welcome, and you have definitely made a good choice, it will last you forever, or until some accident happens

this is the best phone you can get at the moment, with the most development going on around it

however the only shortcoming of this phone is the missing MicroSD support.

i keep constantly running out of space, it's driving me mad
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
It does come with 16gb internal memory, correct?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
yes, but depending on your usage, it might or might not be enough for some people
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Just got nexus, I absolutely love it. Good switch.
[Nexus S General] metalgear873:
Its stock Android no bells and whistles, its fast though, but aftera while i'm sure you want to put another room on it.

Brain master miui is really good and stable!
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Yeah I'm fixing to root it, was wondering what ROM you all prefer in general?
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Stock. Overclock kernel.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Will try that, thanks for the input.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Can I please get some suggestions on what ROM/Kernal you all use?
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Get in the dev forum and check out screenshots, features, youtube vids, etc. and go from there. I use this kernel... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220393 which is [Kernel] Yennob-Base 1 @ 1.2, tiny undervolt
[Nexus S General] chikilin1389:
Kush -deck rom. Matrix -kernel. And download voodoo sound controler
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Yeah I heard voodoo was really good. Thanks you two for the input.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Not trying to plug my rom here but with my last phone (sgs) I got hooked on the locksreens so I started programming them the day I bought the ns4g. The rom is stock sept for the status bar and policy plus I reduced all the files in stock to reduce system size. Try it out tsm pool party. Also voodoo, once I used it there's no going back!
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
Thanks for the input, anymore suggestions?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Fernas:
I just got my Inspire 4G yesterday (coming from HD2 with Android 2.2), its a really nice phone, i would had kept the HD2, but i dont have much signal (2G) at work, so i needed something with 3G 850 frequency, the Inspire 4G looked like a good replacement.

Here is the thing, im getting 80 -ish mA battery drain(12-20mA on a HD2 with android) consumption while in Standby with the WIFI active (and connected), there is a way to fix this, disabled i get 3-6mA (like mi old HD2).

My phone has the stock rom/radio just rooted, sadly i just got it yesterday and rooted pretty much right after it fell on my hand, so i have no previous data on the drain before rooting.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pj05478:
I use Juice Defender and can leave it unplugged for 12-20 hours and still have 90% left. If I spend the day installing apps, reading mail, surfing I'll still have 50%.

BTW Still on Froyo, unrooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Assuming that nothing is wrong with your wifi router and you're in a strong signal area, your drain should be less than 8 mA typically. You're not running on the downgraded stock ROM and radio are you? Some of the rooting processes will leave you with an old and buggy ROM and radio version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fernas:
Thanks for the replies, i´m running the stock, just rooted (ROM/Radio), i just fixed my issue, battery calibration cleared the issue, fully charged until current widget display 0mA, app Battery Calibration deleted the battery_stats.bin file, rebooted and fixed, now i have seen 3mA with WIFI, doesnt make a difference though, with or without it, i get 3-7mA, which i think is pretty decent :D, im on Telcel H+ signal if that matter.

[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
I order my unactivated AT&T 8GB model and its been delayed twice already, and no one at dell is helpful, they just try to get me off the phone and don't have any actual reason besides saying its delayed, and then in one spot it says "in production" and in another spot it says "in pre production" I ordered it on 8/28 with next day delivery?! and now its saying shipping date for the phone is 9/21 when you try to make a new order, so I'm wondering how I could even have mine before that even though it says delivery date: 9/13 (updated) from the 9/4 it was originally.

I also kept asking them if maybe the delay was from a mango software update but the non English speaking reps didn't even know what that was and had no idea. Do we have any solid evidence that maybe this is the case and this is why its taking so long?
[Venue Pro General] Shoot2ill:
Welcome to perils of purchasing a DVP. Guess Dell hasn't improved much since its launch.
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
I had mine delayed for a month right before the new firmware came out...
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Indeed. Same thing when I bought my DVP too - delayed twice with no explanation. Although everyone was quite polite, trying to get progress information out of Dell was like trying to get blood out of a stone :)

Took over a month to arrive...
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
Part of the problem is that no one wants to help, they swear it will be shipped on a certain date and it isnt, and I have not spoke with one AMERAICAN person on the phone and its annoying, I tell them to speak clearly but they do not,

seriously dell has the worst tech support or phone reps ever

. Half of them only know how to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, I bet half of them at "Dell Mobility" support havent even seen the phone and dont even know what OS it runs unless its somehow in the order.
[Venue Pro General] dilzo:
I got mine next day I was actually surprised.
[Venue Pro General] josh995:
That's weird. I ordered mine on Sunday, and it's being delivered tomorrow. Mine is T-Mobile, though. I dunno if that matters.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
it does say tmobile verisons are shipping sooner but I dont see why any version should be delayed this long. I feel naked with only 1 phone right now :/
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
It is my understanding that phones may see delayed ship dates due to Mango being installed on them. I believe that Dell may be one of the first to supply Mango to existing hardware.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
thats what I heard and thought but everytime I ask a dell rep either via an online chat or over the phone they have no idea what that means
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
I have 5 ATT ones that keep getting pushed back. They were ordered one at a time over a month.. but it looks like they are all coming on the 29th now.. hopefully.

Got a few t-mobile ones in that timeframe and they came in pretty fast.
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
oddly all the ATT phones showed up today. So much for dell holding them to put Mango on :)
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
hmmm... well mine still hasn't shipped, even a rep on twitter said she was gonna try to expedite it, but no change in order status, one place it says in production and the other says in pre production. But also the weird thing is, one their website all they have are unlocked versions now with att or tmobile bands. The Tmobile specific or ATT specific versions no longer exsist so I wonder whats gonna happen to mine that was att specific just unactivated full retail.
[Venue Pro General] amapeen88:
It's my understanding that the reason for the delay is due to DVP being shipped with Mango installed and since MS hasn't officially released Mango update yet, they are waiting so that it would coincide with the release date. Then again, it may all be just speculations.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
Ya well no one seems to know 100% and now my order has yet again been delayed to the 16th, this is the 4th delay. Dell support is garbage I want everyone to know and avoid them don't give them any more business!
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
I ordered a replacement under warranty on the 2nd and they told they were backordred to the 16th and to call back then to have it actually shipped out. I'm thinking they are basically holding everything back for Mango, at least on the AT&T side.
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
That makes sense. Means you'll get the Mango firmware without having to wait for AT&T's notoriously-slow 'testing' process.

Wondering if Dell are not explaining the delays because they have a non-disclosure agreement with Microsoft about the Mango release date. Otherwise, you would think they would publicly announce that phones were being held back to a specific date for Mango.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
well more and more things keep saying that mango will be this week but I'm so frustrated that my phones been delayed for pretty much weeks now, I don't want to keep waiting, I know its a good update but I can do it myself.
[Venue Pro General] rdgoeson4ever:
I'm not sure how relevant my experience is to this topic, but I did place an order today for a subsidized DVP through Dell moblity's phone line. I got a English as his first language rep who seemed pretty knowledgeable. First I wanted to know if the DVP was still being subsidized through AT&T since it was no longer showing online, he confirmed that it was still $0.99 with contract for AT&T and T-mobile. I then asked if there would be any delay on the shipping (siting that I read some folks online were having an issue). He explained that there was a firmware update(not mango) that both carriers needed to approve and AT&T took longer to approve it than t-mobile.

Needless to say, my order has been placed as of 1PM eastern 9/12 and the estimated arrival time is 9/15, hopefully just in time for Mango *fingerscrossed*.
[Venue Pro General] Necrothug:
I just tried to place an order for an 8 GB model and the rep advised me due to backorders, it wouldn't ship for approx. 10 days. I chose to back out since I have an order for a 32 GB that keeps getting delayed (but I'd rather wait for) that is currently slated to ship around the same time as this one would have been delayed.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
I know I was told to call back Friday but I may give them a ring today to see if the story has changed.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
I canceled my order with dell because it was updated again to deliver on the 21st and that would be 7 days shy of a month, and besides in the time since I ordered, they had updated to a 16Gb model that was unlocked for the same price of $299 so even if this new order doesn't speed things up too much then at least I got 8GB more for the same price and an unlocked version for higher resell value
[Venue Pro General] Necrothug:
So it looks like the saga for recieving my phone is finally drawing to a close. I ordered my 32 GB AT&T DVP back on 6/11. When I placed my order it estimated the delivery of my phone to be on 8/10 (Due to the new firmware I assume). I also placed my order at this time to lock in the specials they had at the time (free MS points, Xbox live for 3 months). Since I have a phone currently, I was fine with waiting. The order was delayed several times but as of today the phone has shipped. I certainly wish Dell had handled the delay better, some information explaining the delay would have been nice. But oh well, its in the past now. I can't wait to get my phone. (Fingers crossed its already got Mango on it).
[Venue Pro General] ArcWhistler:
Different Experience

Sorry to hear it too so long, but glad yours finally shipped!

My experience was quite different - I placed my order on Tuesday, it shipped Wednesday, and was delivered on Thursday. It arrived a week before they initially indicated it would.

After reading through this thread before I placed the order, I was a bit worried, so I wanted to post my experience too for others who might be considering the phone.

PS. No Mango on the phone, but I can wait until (fingers crossed) next week.
[Venue Pro General] Necrothug:
What firmware version did yours come with?
[Venue Pro General] ArcWhistler:

Did you order Tmo or AT&T?
[Venue Pro General] Krad:
I was able to order my ATT dvp 16gb off of the epp site with overnight shipping. It shipped next day and I should have it on Monday. Shipped from el Paso,tx
[Venue Pro General] ArcWhistler:
AT&T (i wish we could do posts with less than 10 char)
[Venue Pro General] Necrothug:
Awesome. Good to know they are actually shipping them with the new firmware. Here's hoping existing AT&T phones start getting the update soon.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Well, I called back today. Coincidentally they said they just got the 32gb AT&T DVP back in stock today. Here's hoping for the new firmware, though mango would be nice too.
[Venue Pro General] Kenji117:
According to a post from M$ all devices sent out will have mango now. If dell lives up to that statement is another thing.

Couldn't find the tweet/post for you unfortunately it has been a while. Can't even remember what day I saw it. It was last week tho.

Edit: A quick look at my order page shows I am getting 4 DVP's today 2 8gb, 1 16gb, and 1 32gb. They were all open orders placed for me by @amyatdell that we were waiting to see if shipped. Lucky me they all shipped today after fixing a stupid suspension dell had put on my orders due to them thinking i had kept a replacement part they had sent me.

Word of warning they expect you to call them with tracking numbers for things shipped back to them.

Update: All four just got here a little while ago and none had mango. Although all 4 did have .212 Which is something since I am on AT&T.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
My status says "In Production" with no estimated delivery date
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
wow so I just got my Dell VP today, it was shipped overnight. I ordered this on 8/28 and I originally ordered an 8GB AT&T version. I cancled this but apparently they still kept my order going, because I got it and they still charged me! Ugh! But more what makes me mad is that 1 it didnt come with mango, 2 its locked to att and 3 its only 8gb when now they have a 16gb unlocked version for the same price. I actually did try ordering the dell a week after my orig order because of that but then i canceled that. So everything was messed up, and I waited for 2 months for nothing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monteburns:
I've had my G2x now for about eight weeks. It seems like it should be a great phone, but here's a short list:

Can get very laggy under normal operation.

Music playback is extremely choppy.

Occasionally get an "Invalid SIM card" error when I restart the phone.

Bluetooth headset will disconnect out of the blue and it won't reconnect without a re-start.

Phone will get confused when making calls and sometimes the phone screen freezes.

Restarting the phone sometimes hangs on the "Goodbye" screen, forcing me to remove the battery.

I've had none of the random reboots since I upgraded to Gingerbread.

I'd say about 85% of the time things run pretty well, but when it gets bad, it's bad.

I have an 8gb Sandisk memory card in there.

Running stock Gingerbread with no custom anything.

I'm coming from an iPhone 2g, which operated much more smoothly, believe it or not.

Anyway, is this typical?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aplsux:
No period

The only familiar one is the "Invalid SIM Card", but if I'm not wrong, it's caused from the searching of the network. I haven't seen it during operation. No random reboots. But I have heard phones that works for some and not for others.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Why don't you just request a replacement from T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
What speed is your sd card. A slow sd card can cause bad performance in a phone. You should be using at least a class 6 card or faster if you can afford it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chapja:
Hi everyone, I bought an Sprint HTC Evo 4g that had been flashed to cricket wireless. When it had no service the cricket "welcome to cricket" voice would answer, then one day it reverted to sprint. Anyways, I just got it hooked up with the $55 dollar android plan, only to discover that MMS (picture messaging?) and the mobile internet aren't working.

So my questions are:

1) Is there a solution to this problem? (I've searched for and tried a few things alerady)

2) Is it possible to simply re-flash the phone even though I have activated service. (also, my usb port is broken so I'd have to do it through a micro sd adapter if possible)

3) any other solutions I don't know about?

I have no idea what rom (or whaterver it's called) I'm currently running, but I can do the ##3283# (DATA) thing, and the menu and all those settings will pop up, if that helps at all. If needed, I can provide all of my current ##DATA# settings.

So please let me know if you can help, and thanks in advance!
