[Venue Pro General] sur3nd1p1ty:
Hello. Sorry if this is a widely understood concept already, but I couldn't find anything on it. Is the carrier unlock that occurs when you put in an unlock code from Dell permanent? Like, if I put in the unlock code, do I have to put it in every single time I switch SIMs or do I put it in once and it will stay unlocked. If it's the latter, will it be recognized by Zune as an unlocked phone? (Mango update?) I just bought an AT&T model off of eBay. Thanks!
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
Once SIM unlocked, always SIM unlocked. You will never have to enter the code again no matter what you do to your phone.
[Venue Pro General] sur3nd1p1ty:
Thanks for the quick answer! After I put in the SIM unlock code, would you happen to know if the Zune software will recognize the phone as an unlocked phone so I can get the Mango update?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
No, it wont. SIM unlocked means you can use other carrier SIM's in it. Unlocked in the sense you mean refers to devices that are sold without any carrier affiliation, unbranded & unlocked and are considered direct from the OEM. Your phone is still technically a T-Mo phone thus will still be in the queue. However, its quite easy to use the Zune disconnect trick if you dont want to wait.
[Venue Pro General] sur3nd1p1ty:
Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately...it's an AT&T version. Bleh.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Ah well, just have to be patient, eventually you will get the update. Tough but you can at least enjoy some of the WP7 goodness now.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emannxperia:
I think xloud damaged ur speaker. From what i've read, xloud are not suitable for our x10 due to hardware limitation.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenectd:
hmm back to normal you say? Then i guess it's not hardware problem(could be wrong), maybe try another ROM and avoid using xLoud as it could possibly damage the X10's speaker.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emannxperia:
By 'back to normal', i think he meant 'back to low volume'. lol

Can anybody send video through MMS? Anytime I try to send a video I get an error saying file limit reached even on an extremely short video. Any suggestions or is there a fix for this? I came from the evo and had the same problem so is it just an android issue or something else? Please help. I would like to send videos if possible. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Now that you mention it I have been able to send video since my HTC Hero! My guess is the vids we are making are higher quality, therefor to large to send. A 1080 video is quite large, even a 720.

edit....when I opened camera and switched to video it asked me what style of video. I chose for MMS and shot a short vid, it sent just fine with Handcent app.

[Motorola Droid 3] poetryrocksalot:
If my Droid 3 is off how do I turn it on while being connected and charged by usb cable?

The LED indicator light does not turn on even though the battery is <5% and the phone is off. Even at 0% there is no light.

The light only works if push my connector half way through and tilt the connector to trigger the light. But isn't this pointless?
[Motorola Droid 3] shane1:
turning it on while on the charger sucks i just keep pressin the power button lol and the light just blinks on when you plug the charger in it doesnt stay lit
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
I've found my phone won't startup unless there's a certain amount of power (this appears to be approx 10-15%), then the phone automatically restarts.

The LED charging indicator didn't work until I did the OTA upgrade. It will light up white when it's charging, but only when the phone is switched off, once it turns on, the light goes out.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
I was planning on rooting my brother's Inspire yesterday, but when I connected it to the computer via USB the computer freezes.

The computer freezes once I connect it. It doesn't matter if it's on Charge Only or Disk Drive. I have another computer with Linux and when I connect it, it doesn't recognize it.

It's not the cable because I have an Inspire as well and when I connect it to either my Windows or Linux computer both of them recognize it with no problems.

I think it might be the SD card that's messed up. If that's the case should I format it and if so how do I backup all the files on it and what method do I use to format it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Did you get the drivers for it? Download HTC sync for the driver.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Put sd card into card reader and just copy the whole thing into a file. You can decide what you want to pull back onto the card after you format it. Just format as fat 32. This problem does seem rather unusual though, especially since you have another inspire that works just fine. It may be time to warranty it if your not within your 30 days.

One thing I would do is download ace hack kit, put phone into debugging mode, plug phone into computer and run ace hack kit. If you get to the menu then the phone is recognizable. If ace hack kit says that it cannot recognize anything then the phone may be damaged.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
Gizmoe has a good point, but i think you should try this also, just to see if the sd card is causing the problem...

make a backup of your sd card (copy entire contents to a folder on your computer, this is more of a just in case kind of thing, not entirely necessary though)

pull his sd card out of his phone, plug phone into computer and if it doesnt freeze, start the ace hack kit up to see if it recognizes the phone, like Gizmoe said though, make sure USB debugging is enabled.

to double check its actually the sdcard:

put his sd card into your phone and plug your phone into the computer and see what happens. if it freezes then the problem is in fact the sd card. i dont know HOW this would happen, but technology does craziness sometimes.

all you are doing here is troubleshooting and seeing if the problem follows the sd card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
I took out my brother's SD card and put it in my phone and it worked! Both computers recognized it, Windows didn't freeze and ace hack kit recognized it as well.

When I plugged my brother's phone into my Windows computer without the SD card though...it froze.

So apparently the phone is the problem. I backed up all the files from my SD card. What should I do now?

(And yes USB Debugging was on and I have the drivers)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
the only thing i can think of is clean the usb port on the phone itself (have the battery out when you do this, just in case), try it on a 3rd computer if you can just to be sure.... then maybe a factory reset, if none of that works, i hope he has insurance on the phone so he can get a replacement....
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
What kind of stuff exactly would a factory reset erase? Would he be able to get his contacts back? Would his HTC Sense account still be there? Is there a way to backup the apps he has?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
he can backup his contacts by going into the phonebook (people), hitting the menu button and selecting import/export, then export to sd card.

the htc sense account... i'm not sure about, i dont have one, probably never will. in my head, the account will always be available, he'll just have to sign in and possibly set it up again. but like i said, i dont have one, so i cant be sure.

as far as backing up the apps, he can download App Backup & Restore from the market, it doesn't appear to need root access. alternatively, the apps he has downloaded from the market are saved in his My Library (accessible from a browser, pretty sure the market app only shows what is currently on your phone). I havent found an app that can backup apps + data that didnt need root. the one i mentioned up there only does apps.

the factory reset will return it back to stock. i'd use the stock recovery (vol down + pwr) and reset it that way. this is just speculation, i have no idea if it will fix your problem. but i can almost guarantee that if he calls it in, they'll tell him to do a factory reset.

NOTE: BEFORE you go through with the factory reset, backup his sd card just in case the factory reset deletes the sd card to.

the steps i would follow:

backup contacts to sd card

download, install and run App Backup & Restore

remove the sd card, put it in a phone that doesnt freeze the computer and backup the contents

THEN i would do the factory reset. i'd try the one that is in the Settings menu first, if that didnt work, then i'd try the one in recovery. try it with the sd card out, if it doesnt work (unlikely) put the sd card back in.

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

If you're unsure about doing the factory reset yourself, i'd just call AT&T... that way if THEY tell you to do it and something crazy happens, it's gonna be on their heads.

and make sure you tell them that you have a second inspire that you can plug in and it works just fine that way they dont try to pin the problem on the computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Factory reset wipes data and cache partition and returns the system partition to default shipping state. Contacts will come back if a Google account is being used and allowing Google to backup data is checked. Application data will be erased for good. Applications themselves will redownload upon signing back into Google account on phone(maybe, sometimes it does not). Htc sense account will require you to sign back in. All downloaded htc content should have remained untouched on sd card, although I do not know if factory reset makes that stuff unrecognizable, it may have to be downloaded again so your system actually recognizes the content. Without root you can not back up applications. If you had root there are several programs to do this, titanium backup being the most popular.

I agree that you should clean the USB port on the phone in case there is anything shorting out a pin.

Just use a toothpick to get all the stuff out and gently rub the contacts. To me it does sound like the port is bad. I would just do a warranty return. Try the factory reset first though just to be sure.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I can verify sd card is left untouched during a reset unless you specifically choose to do so.

Also, in case both bikes post and mine sound confusing, you can back up apps just not application data. But backing up just apps is already supposed to be a Google account feature but it doesn't always work so some people use an app for that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wdtj:
Maybe it's the PC

So does your Brother's HTC lock up on your PC (I didn't see that you had tested that). I know that some PC's can have damage to the USB port that can cause the laptop to freeze when anything is plugged in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
its his brothers phone that freezes the computer. his own personal inspire works and connects just fine. its his brothers inspire that is causing the problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
Just to make sure I tried my brother's phone again. Tried it on Windows XP, Vista, and Linux. Tried different USB ports and still nothing. XP freezes and Vista and Linux don't recognize it. Also tried cleaning the port and problem remains while my Inspire works.

He was able to plug it in the computer before so it's not an out of the box problem. So you guys think I should do a factory reset then?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I would try that and if no go, then warranty or insurance. Did he drop it or anything? Sometimes you hit these devices with enough pressure in just the right spot and you can damage stuff.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
I'm not sure if he dropped it...don't think so. I'll try it tonight when he gets home.

I use the Factory Reset in Settings > SD & Phone Storage right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Yeah you can do it through there or from bootloader. I would just do it from bootloader.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
+1 seems like it would more effective to me, even if it isnt lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
Sorry for the delay. I just did it from bootloader and it didn't work. The computer still freezes when I plug the phone in :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
His wallpaper that he downloaded came back though and his bookmarks are still there. Shouldn't that have been erased?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
at this point, i'm not sure it matters. time to get a replacement.... :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
What if some of the software files were not restored to factory default and is still causing the problem.

Can I make his SD card a goldcard using my phone, go into recovery and wipe data/ factory reset, delete all user data, and wipe dalvik cache.

Then install a custom ROM on his phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Settings,wallpaper and contacts are tied to Google sync account. They will always resync upon signing back in. Also any data that's on sd will still show up. None of this will cause issues on your phone however. I think his phone is screwed : (
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Unfortunately no. Gold card is only the beginning of rooting a phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
Alright so you're pretty certain it's a hardware problem then and there's no way I can fix it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
Lets think about this.... let just say that you DO manage to root his phone, and then you DO install a custom ROM, and then it STILL DOESNT WORK. now, not only do you STILL have a phone you cant connect via USB, you ALSO have a phone that has a void warranty. see where i'm going with this....?

its not worth all that trouble for an issue that you cant pin point when you can easily get a working replacement via warranty
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
The only other thing I could think of is to find a signed copy of the stock Rom in PD98IMG format and see if bootloader will flash it. It has to be one that will work with the locked recovery. I am not sure if this method will even work being s-on. I have never flashed a Rom this way and I am unclear on what the requirements are of a PD98IMG File. If you were able to do this and it still has the same issue then the phone is bad for certain.

Imo the port is damaged somehow, but there is a very small possibility that something in the system file of the Rom itself is damaged and a new Rom flash would fix that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
That's what they told me to do in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957692

What do you think?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
Its worth a shot since its a stock non-rooted rom. Just..... don't be surprised if it doesn't fix it... though I hope it does... waiting to get a replacement SUCKS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
If I do this will it void the warranty on my brother's phone though?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
No, it's warranty covered as long as it is S-ON with stock ROM that is not rooted
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
If you guys are still curious we ended up getting a replacement since the phone was still under warranty which sucks, but the phone we got seems to be in brand new condition and most importantly connects to the computer so he can experience all the wonders of rooting :)

So anyway thanks for all the help guys! Much appreciated!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Well i'm glad he has one that works. I figured it was just a bad unit. Hopefully he has no more issues from here on out.

Woke up this morning, powered down to swap out batteries, swapped out batteries, booted up, and started off with a nice "Google Apps" FC. Then later on after I managed to stop that, I was using HotSpot with my SGT 10.1, and it decided to random reboot and started FCing everything.

Managed to Titanium backup before doing the 3xWipe and reinstalling the rom just now.

I would put this in the actual Rom thread, but I'm not allowed to post there. So, here we are.

Well, my phone just booted after the reset and nothing has FC'd so far. I will definitely report back if problems persist.
