[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
I'm definitely a noob here, but I've been lurking for over a year, researching, and finally made an account.

I'm stuck with AT&T for awhile. Like most other sensible people on the planet, I want a Droid 3. I thought all hope was lost until I just recently heard that someone finally cracked (rooted) the thing and there are already several custom ROMs out, to my understanding..? Like the Steel Droid ROM at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278056

Does the Steel ROM allow a Droid 3 to work on AT&T networks?

I also read that Negri Electronics is selling custom Droid 3's that work on AT&T's 3G networks, but it's $600. :(

Is there any hope of getting a D3 with AT&T, or do I have to stick with my beat-up (but still functional) old Tilt 2?

And Yes I searched, but the Droid 3 Root thing is so new there's not much info on it yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I have heard of people successfully using a D3 on AT&T, I think you need to unlock the SIM for US networks somehow. Loading a rom like Steel Droid won't make any changes that will allow you to use it on AT&T though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Hrm... Crap. So currently the only way to get one for AT&T is via Negri Electronics? No one has heard of any other way? 0.o

I don't suppose there's any other phone that can compete with the D3 as far as specs and a full QWERTY keyboard, huh? Bummer, big time :(
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
I'm coming from a VZW TP2 and i know people used it on Tmobile and other GSM networks by unlocking the SIM. The way I did it was by calling Verizon and telling them I was going out of the country and they did it for free on the phone, I'm not sure how to do it if you're already on another network or don't activate it with Verizon first (For free). But that's definitely what you should look for, once the SIM is unlocked it should work anywhere as long as you enable roaming.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Simlock or not you can use the droid 3 anywhere in the world but not in the us.

No matter if you use the verizon sim or any other sim.

To do it you need the so called band unlocking which is currently unavailable for the droid 3 and when and if will be, will require a good amount of money.

In short if you need the phone buy a milestone 3/Xt860
[Motorola Droid 3] LifeInAnalog:
...but keep in mind, that while root and recovery are a go for the XT860, there's no custom ROMs working as of yet.

It'll come though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Did a little research, but just to be clear, the Milestone 3 (aka the XT860) is the Canadian version of the D3, released by Bell, correct?

And since it already works in North America, could I simply buy one and use it on AT&T as-is? Or would it also need some sort of unlocking?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Correct

Given the price should be an unlocked phone, ready to be used anywhere in the world US included.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Thanks, I almost bought an XT883 a few days ago, that would have been terrible. Stupid Verizon and their locked-down phones.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
[UPDATE]

Alright. Thanks to you guys' help and support, I averted a financial disaster and a raft of headaches/psychological meltdowns. I just ordered:

Brand new, unlocked with 2-year warranty:

Can't wait to get my hands on a D3! My first truly new phone since I bought my Motorola SLVR 5 years ago, with its amazing, first-of-its-kind ability to play up to a whopping 100 iTunes songs on its giant 512mb MicroSD card.

I'm in Hawaii, waiting on a phone being shipped from Canada though, so it'll be a couple days :(

Thanks again for your patience guys, especially Solutor, your advice really made a difference. I clicked the Thanks button for you.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNK13:
Hello

i bought HTC HD7 yesterday and now i want to unlock it with ChevronWP7 so that i can install sideload apps from pc

but i have 7392.0 os version and ChevronWP7 cant unlock Nodo

so my question is how can i downgrade from 7392 to 7004 original rom and then again upgrade to 7392?

what rom then i need to install i am from Croatia (europe) ?

OS: 7.0.7392.0

firmware: 2250.09.16901.401

Bootloader:4.5.2250.0(192185)

Thank you
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
all Shipped ROMs are available here.

or you could just flash a Custom ROM, which is already Dev Unlocked, or better, here.

sh4d0w86.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNK13:
For custom roms I need to install hspl? Shipped roms I can install with original spl?i heard that you can easily brick phone by install custom roms and hspl,is that true?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
yes, Shipped ROM can be flashed with OSPL, as long as the vendor id's match.

phone can be half bricked if you try and flash RSPL/HSPL onto an unsupported SPL, yes.

if you want to go the Custom ROM route, i would...

01) flash a stock Shipped NoDo or Pre-NoDo ROM.

02) flash RSPL or HSPL.

03) flash Custom ROM with task 29.

04) flash desired Radio with task 00, if desired.

sh4d0w86.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNK13:
what is vendor id?

and how to know if that id's match?

also what is better,hspl or rspl?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
well, if the vendor id's don't match, the flash will fail.

ie. flashing a TMOUS ROM onto a HD7 T9292 will fail, etc.

RSPL is a temporary SPL which will return to OSPL after reset.

HSPL isn't temporary.

both allow one to flash Custom ROMs.

Hello Friends,

I am new here and I am interested in buying HTC Desire S :)

But I saw here and on various other forums/websites, that there's a major WiFi signal loss problem when the device is held in Landscape Mode

So, this problem still exists? I love this phone as it's awesome and in my budget and my main usage will be by means of Wi-Fi

Kindly help

Thanks and Regards :)
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Even though i knew that it has serious issue of poor reception and signal drop, i still bought it as i love this phone. And the answer to your question is,

Yes. it still has poor reception.

Now its up to you if you want to buy it or not.
[HTC Desire S] mrintech:
Is it a Hardware Defect?

I have read somewhere, after FOTA update the problem is gone/rectified a bit

Anyways, I am disappointed :mad:
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I never noticed a signal drop at mine, except that it lasts a little til it gets the full signal back after returning from sleep, but that's cause of my settings.

Maybe it has to do with my radio image.

You find it (and the related thread) at my signature.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
The problem was reduced after the OTA, all depends if you use the phone to type when in landscape mode (something I never do) depends on your size (or the size of your hands I reckon!)

Great device!
[HTC Desire S] Gandalf Greyhelm:
The Wi-Fi does indeed lessen if held in a certain manner - but because I have a very strong signal from my router it never drops out completely. I imagine it could be an issue if your base signal is low to start with.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Welcome to XDA! Yes I'd agree with previous post. Only really an issue if your router is far away to begin with. And being aware of the cause (covering the camera lens area with your hand) means that in a vast majority of cases, you shouldn't have any serious issues with signal drop.

It's a fantastic phone. Since buying mine nearly six months ago I've not had a single instance where I've had a signal drop out whilst I've been trying to use WiFi. You have to TRY to make it drop out in my experience.

:)
[HTC Desire S] mrintech:
Hey friends

Thanks a lot for all your responses

Just wanted to show you this video from YouTube: www . youtube . com / watch?v=qd7XdLmAFUo - See how that guy is holding the phone in Landscape Mode

I don't think, I am (rather say no one is) going to hold the phone in that way while using it on Wi-Fi

Anyways I have following questions:

1. What happens if the phone is lying on Table which is made from either of wood/metal? Will it get disconnected from Wi-Fi

2. HTC Desires S got Android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0 updates in UK and these updates are getting displayed as a pop-up notifications and are completely dependent on Mobile Operator one is using.

So, do you know/think, in India (Vodafone/AirTel), HTC gives updates by means of Network Operators. Or we have to install the Updates manually after hunting for them

Once cleared, I will jump and order the Phone online :D

Thanks a lot :)

P.S. I am new to Android :P
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
1. Never noticed any problems.

2. Maybe, but when I think no one could say^^ But if you take a look at the development section there are many sense 3 and also some sense 3.5 roms based on 2.3.5, if you don't want to wait till it's official release. Without sense you could also get Android 2.3.7 within cyanogen^^

All newcomers are welcome, there are many guids to help you getting started ;)

Swyped from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Definetly have problems here.

I have compared it to my other devices, and the desire s has the weakest signal, when far away from the router. It's a realy pain when im upstairs and want to use WiFi.

It also drops a bit when I cover it up with my hand.

The 'fixes' they have around, and built into custom kernels don't seem to work for me either :(

It's a real pain for me everytime I lose signal and have to reconnect!

It's a shame for me, but other than that I highly highly recommend this phone! It is really good!
[HTC Desire S] mrintech:
Every response is now making me reconsider my decision :(

Anyways Thanks All :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
If you are close to your WiFi router most of the time, you'll be fine! its just fr me , I always use my phone upstairs (far away from my router)

It struggles compared to my other devices !

It's up to you :)

I personally recommended it , its great for the features and price.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
It's strange, I get a good Wi-Fi signal anywhere in the house with no problems.

If I cover the plastic top rear panel of the phone with my hand, the signal strength does go down a bit, but it's never been a problem.

Maybe it's like the GPS - I find that the case I bought degrades my GPS reception, yet other people with the same type of case seem to experience no problems.

Overall though, I like this phone despite the imperfections. I don't regret buying it.
[HTC Desire S] coolsid1234:
Its a very good phone for the price.

India does not have a FOTA update yet but to install custom roms or sense 3.0 you will have to root your phone.

As far as wi-fi goes i have had slight problems with the device but it was solved by using the wi-fi fix and also by custom kernels so go ahead!
[HTC Desire S] SED9008:
I tried to make my phone lose wifi signal but only when i really cover up every part of the back of the phone i see some difference.

But when using normal i never experience any loss.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh, when I'm next to my router, and I cover up I lose some signal, but it still works.

However, when I'm far away from my router, and i cover my hand over the phone , it loses WiFi completely :(
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Hey , You are from INDIA so, just order from flipkart.com..Nice service,quick delivery and above all at least Rs 1500 less from market and that ebay thing.

Well personally I like this device too much. Its just awesome. Even my friend has DHD which got a bigger screen but when it comes to clarity ..252 ppi loving it

Wifi is a prob but in my hostel room I got a router attached so no prob but when am out of room it sometime drops signals
[HTC Desire S] mrintech:
Hello Friends

Thanks all for replies :)

I am bit reluctant in buying this device as my main work is from Wi-Fi and apart from my home I will be using Wi-Fi at some places where the router is kept in upper floor or far away :(

Anyways, I am considering buying Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001 as it's in my budget and I can't afford SGS2 or other mobile phones which comes in price range after SGS+ and Desire S

I can live without flash and plastic body

Though I need expert advice/suggestion from Gurus/Masters here: Should I buy SGS+?

Please help

Thanks and Regards :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sgs plus looks nice! It's 1.4ghz and I've seen some videos, its nearly as fast as Sgs2!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pvyParts:
Howdy all,

There is lots of cool development going on around the forum ATM, and i know that everyone LOVES to help the devs by reporting bugs, so i thought i would let you all know (from my point of view others may think differently) how to help the DEVS when you get a FC in a ROM or APP.

So far there are 4 parts ( so far )

Part 1 - Getting Logs without a PC

Part 2 - Using DDMS With a PC

Part 3 - Importance of Full Logs

Part 4 - Random System Crashes

Also this is not a stab at anyone, i am not mad at any one jsut thought i would share!

Bit of info on why i did this post!

Simply putting;

isn't very helpfull and 10 outa 10 we wont be able to help cause we dont know how to recreate the FC or what else you were doing at the time.

So, i thought i would put a short guide together to HELP us ALL! it may take you a bit of time but in the long run you are saving us all time.

Part 1

Troubleshooting FC's that dont crash the system!

Tools that you'll Need!

there are a few different tools you can use to capture a log of a FC. but the most simple would have to be aLogCat off the market so i am gonna roll with this.

you will also need a file manager or access to a pc. something like astro or root explorer

What to do!

ok so you have installed alogcat on your phone. great! and you have a file manager AWSOME!

so to report the dreaded FC. you'll need to

**Note If you have access to a PC then you can copy and paste the data from the text file into a pm on your pc (much easier IMO)**

Part 3

Using ADB and DDMS to record logs

DDMS is by far my favourite method! it is fast easy to read and very user friendly!

so what you will need for this is a PC with the SDK setup and working, ADB drivers, your phone, and a usb cable for said phone.

i'm not gonna cover this here as so many ppl have much nicer tuts than mine

eg, Android Dev Site

​

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pvyParts:
I hope this helps ppl! and i hope i didn't scare you all off!

Mappy Modding and Happy Reporting!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pyromatic18:
I think there's an app on the market called "Log Collector" which is more simplified then "aLogCat" as it automatically collects up the device log when you launch it and then just asks you how you want the log sent.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pvyParts:
This way meant to be a record for all bugs for everything. Just a guide for how people can report bugs.

Bugs in roms or apps need to be reported to the dev in there thread or via pm ect.

Can we please keep this thread clean with ways for people to report bugs.

Thanks I'll look into it.
