[HD2 General] goldsmit409:
i recently got to know about htc hd2 and its capability to dual boot both android and wp7 and many other OS, so i started searching for the phone am getting one htc hd2 6 months old for about 13000 INR near my place so should i get this phone hardware wise i find the phone great am really interested in trying different OS in same phone will all these OS run smoothly as they are meant to be

then i was wondring should i buy this phone after 2 years of its launch

will it be wise to buy it at that price aiming to run different OS and to experiance all apps and games meant for them.... i dont mind spending time in modding i earlier had a nokia 5230 and was constatly flashing and modding its rom so am little familer with the stuff

please anyone help me out here
[HD2 General] goldsmit409:
wow no reply at all please someone suggest something atleast what to do?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well the real answer is it is up to you if it is worth it or not. I did not convert the figure you posted into US dollars so I am not sure how much that amout is really.

I still have my HD2 and I will never sell it or get rid of it. The device it self is a great device, it has good hardware even by today's standards. Yes it is not a dual core device bit it still preforms very nicely no matter what OS you install on it. The ability to run so many OS's also makes it still a very relevant device. The actual physical construction of the device is very good and holds up to day to day use very well. hope that helps some.
[HD2 General] pakure:
go for it dude...i bought my hd2 for 36,000 rs..2yrs back.and is worth that even today for me......so, you are getting it for a steal...go get it flash away and enjoy
[HD2 General] goldsmit409:
thank you both for your replies now i am definatily going to get one hopefully tomorrow

converting it into us dollar it comes something around 260$

by the way how is the battery life if i run mango and android in dual boot with moderate usage can it last atleast a day

also do i need to worry about the digitizer problem i heard somewhere that it was only for some batch and not all device had that flaw

and finally will i be able to play some nice 3d games?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Hi everyone.

I have a problem with my Wifi in my X8. I have installed GingerDX v0.19 Rom with the LinuxDX v0.04 Kernel, although this problem has happened to me ever since I rooted and installed my first rom (Cant remember which was it).

Anyway, the problem happens sometimes, and is like this. Most of the time Im connected to a network, but sometimes occurs that I want to add another network, and instead of connecting, it just stays saying "Connecting". After that, nothing happens and instead says "Disconnected". When I leave that place and go somewhere else, I press "Scan" and nothing happens and it just stays on "Disconnected".

This happens from time to time. Sometimes the problem solves itself on its own and sometimes it solves thanks to me pressing one hundred times the button Wi-fi to turn on and off the Wi-fi. Now I havent found the way to solve it.

I reinstalled the rom, reinstalled the kernel and still nothing happens.

Thanks for reading the question, and thanks in advice :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anon8989:
You could try to erase all remembered wifi access than try again..

lets see if that work.. it work for me :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malediktion:
I had the same problem using the Froyo Custom roms. What I did in order to "unstuck" the wi-fi is to add manually a network and then scan of other networks worked again. You might give it a try.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulen:
I had the same problem when i used network i don' t usually use (different AP).

I just had to wipe all remembered networks and it started working properly
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Ironicly I got that problem yesterday. Just factory reset and once that's done, download Titanium Backup and backup wifisettings.apk (its not called that but its the very bottom one), if you have the problem again just restore that apk and you should be good to go!

I'm using GINGERDX v019, . :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
EDIT: Its called Wifi Access Points
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav3n_pl:
[solution]

Sometimes it happens when you change rom/kernel.

Try deleting file:

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
I forgot to mention that! :P

My good friend @Quinny898 told me that!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Hey! Thanks everyone!!

The "erase all networks" thing worked perfectly but Im still going to erase the "wpa_supplicant.conf". And IrishStuff09, you reminded me of doing the apps backup with Titanium Backup!!

Again, thanks everyone for answering and solving my question :)

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and so far I am pretty happy with it.

I am updated to android 3.2.1 as of 3 days ago.

The only problem I have is with the wifi not reconnecting when re-awaking the screen from sleep.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
Hello all, I would like to know what % to start charging my phone is better to the battery? it's draining so much and there is no extra battery for sell in my country yet.

I did search many posts and all answers are different. I am so serious only this and I hope I can have a better way to keep my battery longer... thanks for your attention.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
it's usually not good to let the battery totally discharge. So charge it before it completely dies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
oh really... but I already made my Note battery to 0% and shut off itself two times :( I also did charge on 40-50% to 100% bcoz I know I would have to stay outside without battery charge after. I wish I can get an extra battery in my country soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rossygnol:
Your problem is probably not related to the battery but to some apparently draining all the juice. There is an app called something like betterbatterystats, not sure on the spelling though, it might help you to find those draining apps. It's been reported manytimes here in XDA.

And for your information it's better to charge when the battery dies for the first couples of times. I don't think that it makes a big difference after that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hchng2:
U may also want to check the process or apps running on the background?

I freezes all the unwanted apps or process les one by one to try it. But in terms of the batt usage, I believe if u don't use it much often u can still stand by for at least a day. Mine running on full 3G, but screen brightness set to lowest and STILL facing some batt drain issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
Charging from a total 0 is actually good and most technical people will suggest the same. In fact a full battery drain every month and then a full charge ensures your battery gets a full charge and a complete battery rotation. This is a good thing that you did and let no one tell you otherwise.

However, for normal usage the lower the better at which point you charge is best.

All of these batteries comes with xx full cycle charges - meaning how many times they will last from 0 to 100% before they degrade and start giving less efficiency (around 85% on future charges) after the full cycle charges are over.

You may want to use 10% as a good benchmark to ensure you dont lose an important call with your phone off. The battery saving mode on the Note will also help you reduce loads at times and improve battery life (at cost of system power).

Congratulations on using the Galaxy Note, which I feel is the best all in one device in the market!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
+1

I second this.. its funny how still people still believe those myths about batteries (like charge 100% before you use the device first time).. those issues are easy 5-10 years old.. batteries now a days a have smart chips built into them that can control the battery health
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
So, I can charge my battery anytime when needed?

Also, for screen brightness, i set auto brightness is better than setting it manually low?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eccezarathustra:
I'm hoping someone can put my mind at rest. I just sold my Atrix online. Before doing so I did a factory reset, I don't remember if it said erase everything or internal memory but whatever it said I selected it. Phone turned off and restarted at the motoblur sign in screen just like when I got it.

I shipped it out but I never checked that internal memory (downloads folder dcim folder) were actually deleted.

Was everything erased? I had some bank statements, time cards, pay stubs and other things that I don't want in some strangers hands.

The external sd card was not included with the phone, I kept that for myself.

Is there anything I can do now to make sure the data is gone?

Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandix:
Well since the atrix sees the internal memory as an SDCARD it might not have been erased, but I could be wrong...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Afaik factory reset does NOT delete the internal memory aka SDCARD. For example I keep different .zips like ROMs or bootanims on my SDCARD (not ext) and they are always still there after a data wipe.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eccezarathustra:
What about using the motoblur online tool to secure the phone and wipe data? That says it wipes downloads and files.

Great Launcher

I really love this launcher. Only been using it since this morning but I have very few complaints considering its still a beta. And the awesome cool features it comes with make any little problems I have with it worth it. Try this launcher, its like MIUI's customization plus a crapload of other things lol. But nothing that gets in the way.

Seems it is out of beta now and also supports resizable widgets.
[Epic 4G General] Ultro:
Posting this because I'm curious as to how long it took for stable ROMs to be available for Froyo. I'm on SFR 1.2, it is my 1st and only ROM, which I got as soon as it came out. I wasn't there for the wait for development, and now that I am for Gingerbread, I'm wondering what's the "average wait time" for stable ROMs? If I had to use a direct example: since Froyo was made available, how long before SFR 1.2 showed up? It would give me a better sense of understanding the development in that aspect. It would also give me something to look forward to; to more or less "know" (or think I know - lol) when to expect the stable ROMs. I've been reading the development of LegendaryROM and ACS ICS and although tempting, I can't bring myself to installing these just yet. Nothing against the people working hard on them, but they are in Beta/WIP stage; and after months of great performance with SFR 1.2, I know I want THE final build :p

I'm also aware that it may vary; but still an idea of how long would be nice. I'd like to point out I'm not asking for specific ETAs; just wondering :)
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
You must be afraid to try something else? Maybe not skilled enough to bounce from creative rom to rom? What do you have to lose? I'm on ei22 thunderhawk and I can tell you this rom is stable, as all the other ei22's I've sampled. If you install correctly, you'll be fine. Its the overclocking that begins the issues.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Some people use their phones for more than facebook and google and need to not have to flash every day or two. Myself included.
[Epic 4G General] Ultro:
I've flashed more ROMs on other friend's phones. I'm aware of the steps to take. Not really afraid, just no need to flash other stuff. And from what I've read, some people are having problems with either data, wifi, bluetooth, force closing apps, gps, hotspot, among other things, on the current EI22 ROMs. I'm aware these are happening because of the fact they were just recently released and are in beta. And as for overclocking, never had to do it. Phone is fast enough, and when I've tried before it always freezes it :3 And can you blame me for being hesitant? :) I depend too much on my phone, and even though most of those who decide to flash EI22 are enjoying its goodness, some have bugs. Bugs I can't afford to have :>

This ^^ I've managed to make every possible use out of my phone. Managing files for college work, gaming, videos, sharing and all that good stuff, along with less useful things. Somehow, with all the crap I've stacked on my phone, it all runs smoothly. I am enjoying this "balance" too much to flash another ROM at the moment.

Still curious about overall "time frame" :)
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Personally I'm on Legendary Rom 3.3... no real issues, other than intermittent wifi problems. Exchange activesync email works, gmail works fine, no random reboots, etc. Give it a shot if you want.

As most dev's will say it is done when it is done. This is not their full time thing so I would guess it would be hard to put a timeline on it.

It is mean those keys that are on the bottom of the device "Home", "Back", etc, they are not usable.

Guys, please, help! How can it be fixed? Is there somewhere some patch or something else?

Please, help me? Give me, please, a link if there is some kind of the solution for that issue?

Thank you!

sounds like it may be just a bad flash. id try a Data, cache, dalvik wipe X3 via clockworkmod, and try reflashing it..and in fact when you go into CWM you can partially eliminate it being a hardware issue if you're buttons on the bottom are functioning when you are going through the prompts ( i know for sure the back button will work)

Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot

Its stable & works 100%

I personally have not lost root with this method in over 48 hours.

Zero

com.noshufou.android.su crashes.

Before Using!!

HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF

Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )

USB Debugging Must be Turned on

Restart your phone!

Lastly, if you're getting com.noshufou.android.su force close errors

Uninstall superuser prior to running scripts.​

If you Lose Root

, all you have to do is

open Terminal Emulator & type fixsu

No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place!​

Q. Is this permanent?

A. no, it's a temp root method..

Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?

A. You might, but open terminal and type fixsu to get root back.

Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?

A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot.

Q. Can I push & remove items to system and will it work?

A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Looks interesting, but my method of using a bind mount from /data/local/bin to /system/xbin (apparently I could have used /vendor/bin instead) doesn't loose root after any time unless you reboot.

Bind mounts stay in memory, and aren't like symlinks that get flushed away when the system tries to re-read the filesystem, hence why I suggest using it rather than symlinks.

The bind mount eliminates the need for a 'fixsu' script at all, since there's no links that could potentially dissolve.

With that said, nice work!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rpendrick:
I haven't lost root in going on ~60 hours, as as a newbie here, you definitely know far more than I do!

As you'll see in the fixsu, I redundantly copy su from /vendor/bin

to /system/xbin/ from which I hardlink (as you'd know is virtually the same as bind mounting in this case) to /system/bin

I added the fixsu, as a last resort, in case the something would dissolve, but unless someone really fudges something up, the fixsu shouldn't be needed :)

As my programming teacher once told me: the code doesn't need to be pretty as long as it works. :P

And through that philosophy I've used a lot of redundancies, that may or may not need to be there,

but they'll definitely keep anyone from having any sort of issues using the scripts!

P.S. Thank you :]
