[HTC Rezound] jake21:
Huh. When I tried to buy a phone there I did not have to select a texting plan. I could just select data and move on. I didn't buy yet because I wanted a few more days to think about it :)

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Folks are saying any change to the plan during the first 181 days violate the terms and you will have to pay amazon's ETF (which I think is $250).
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Why would there be an early termination fee?
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
If you check out the other thread, I called Amazon Wireless today, and they said there's no ETF for changing your plan (upgrade or downgrade), as long as you keep the line open, with a data plan.
[HTC Rezound] Corey@rabbit:
Are you sure about that last part, I have been told By a friend that works at verizon that data isnt tied to the plan. I looked through the terms and conditions on my order, also no mention of data. Only that the line stays active.

I had a friend call amazon today and tell them to point out the part in the terms that states you need to keep data. They couldnt find it.

I just got my rezound today, swapped service with my TB. And am going in tomorrow to take TB off and put a dumb phone on and cancel data.

I wonder how long it will take amazon to chage me if they are going to...?
[HTC Rezound] imdaShiy:
true, data is not tied to the plan, but verizon has a requirement that any smartphone must have a dataplan. if they find out you do not, they will add it automatically for you.
[HTC Rezound] Corey@rabbit:
Thats why im going to put a dumb phone on that plan and let it sit idle @ 9.99
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I didn't notice any text messaging requirements, but I was just adding a line. It did have listed under family plans, both the mintues with unlimited texting and the minutes only.

I'm thinking the same thing about switching a dumb phone onto this line in a couple months after root is established.

Right now, I'm going to use my t-bolt has a hotspot on that line until I hit the 4gb limit every month (for my kindle fire). Once the rezound has root, I can just hotspot it.
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
You can do this easily and online without talking to anyone.
[HTC Rezound] Corey@rabbit:
on the web site im guessing? What part? Instruct me o wise one. :D
[HTC Rezound] corz123:
can anyone verify for sure if you can change the phone on the line that amazon gave you? I'm not sure what business it is of theirs if we change the phone as long as we're on the line? Furthermore, what if we drop the phone and it breaks or lose it...are they going to charge us $250 for that as well?
[HTC Rezound] trikotret:
Its been three months since this post. has anyone got charged by amazon for swaping lines and removing data??
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
If anyone actually read their amazon agreement it CLEARLY states, that you agree to keep the

line of service active

for no less than 180 days.

Use a little common sense people. Lets say your phone gets stolen and you don't have insurance. Amazon can't just randomly force/expect you to automatically have a backup phone that supports data/text just to satisfy their terms or they charge you an ETF. Legally speaking something like that would NEVER hold up in court unless they forced you to get deductible free insurance, which to my knowledge doesn't exist. Bottom line, read what you sign. This thread needs to be closed before it leads to needless paranoia.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I got my Rez for a penny on this deal and have not been charged anything and I moved the Rez over to a new line. I then put a dumb phone on that line and removed data and have not received any correspondence from Amazon whatsoever.

Put it this way...when I asked an Amazon rep about keeping my unlimited data on my line (the only option when purchasing the phone was 4GB/month) he said I need to call Verizon to make sure I kept it. He didn't have access to view my account.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Your just lucky, my first experiences with wirefly ended in chaos because we decided to send back the droidx and keep the incredible, and they stated that we broke the contract. Tried to charge me $200 and I told them to eff themselces. No problems since and they dropped the charge

Hit thanks or ill hit you :)
[HTC Rezound] trikotret:
You are correct . it states keep the line active no less than 180 days. However doesn't say anything about features, like data plan or the phone itself. It just says line of service. So what these guys are doing is keeping service on by putting a dumb phone on the line and pay$9.99 without data. However, wirefly doesn't mention about keeping data plans and not transferring phones among the family lines
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beowulf_pt:
I'm quite happy with the Momax 2700 mAh battery but realized that it is a pain to pick a good car holder. I have a couple I got on ebay but the phone does not fit anymore as it doubled in thickness and weighs a bit more.

I've seen a thread about cases to use with the Momax, but anyone can comment on car holders? I need something for Car GPS/Navigation and the car holder thread seems to be focused on stock SGS2 (about half the thickness)

Thx

PS: Anyone curious about the battery can see it here: http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1

PPS: Well I gave up and ordered an EXOMOUNT exogear holder. I doubt it will stuck as well as the videos show but at least the "claw" format appears to be flexible and work with really fat phones.

I don't have it yet but can comment later if anyone is curious. 25€ on Ebay.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rangor gubbins:
Hi Beowulf,

How you getting on with the Exomount? Does it hold the phone steady? and does it stick to the window well?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kaze105:
Exomount is good. I had it for around a couple months. It sticks extremely well to any location within the car. A small negative would be the phone shakes slightly when the road isnt smooth, but still holds it pretty nicely.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Coedy:
All my previous phone holders (cheap £5 ones from ebay) shake in my car as its 20years old :D

But the exogear seems to shake the least from what ive tried ;) including a brodit active holder on my old Hero.

If my exogear ever does lose its stick Ill just be getting another one! Great holder and truely universal!

A quick tip.

Rub the spot where your going to stick it with rubbing alcohol and then leave it evaporate off for about 5mins before sticking your exomount on. Ive not had any problems since doing this and its been up there for close to...5months? with 20year old suspension, uk potholes and freezing weather with terrible heaters! :D

[HD2 General] orrorin:
Ok guys, I need your help. I picked up a T-Mobile HD2 from a friend for $40 who said "it won't boot". Being the experience Android user that I am I decided to give it a try, but I am at my wits end. Here is the sitch:

1. The phone is stuck at the "Stick Together" screen.

2. The bootload WORKS, to a point. It sometimes give a black screen when connected to the computer and a flashing tool is polling the USB.

3. I can flash all different WinMO roms from the bootloader, even HSPL, but still no boot.

4. Sometimes, when the ROM and SPL info come up in the bottom left, the phone will chug at the boot logo for a second, then strange graphical glitches start to appear on the screen. Similar to flashing an i9100 kernel on captivate, but not exactly.

This phone is a hackers dream, or more specifically my dream phone. Please help me get it back to working. I am not stingy; if there person who can get this to work and has a donation link... well... you know.

I have already:

Flashed the ship rom.

Used Task29

Flashed the current TMO rom.

Installed MAGLDR -> bootloader cannot make it to MAGLDR, even holding button.

EDIT: I also can't get it to recognize or flash roms from the SD card. All I have is a 4GB SDHC.
[HD2 General] orrorin:
First of all, thank you for the information. I am actually very experienced reflowing PS3 and Xbox 360's, so I will try the refrigerator experiment, and if that succeeds I will disassemble the phone and reflow it in my reflow station. I find (seriously, not joking) that a reflow and (after cooling) a good 10 minutes in the oven on "warm" gets everything nice and settled.

Do you know if they used lead-free solder in the HD2? I'm not sure if phones also fall under RoHS.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
yep, i think it's lead free, can't say for sure. But by the way it reacts to heat.. it seems so.

If you try the fridge/freezer, try to get the hd2 as cold as possible while preventing any condensation occurring on it - those transparent zip bags can help, that's what i use for example.
[HD2 General] simar7:
I had the EXACT same problem for a version that I bought off from a NY store (jr.com), it was a t-mobile version, tried everything, just to return it after 8 hours of my purchase.

Looking again for buying another hd2.

EDIT: looking online for hours and hours in vain, I concluded that it was a hardware issue due to some versions of the hd2 as someone explained earlier here.
[HD2 General] orrorin:
I reflowed the motherboard and the phone now works.

I think its official, the"Stick Together" screen is the new RROD / YLOD.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
good to hear. my hd2 was broken in the same way as yours. fixed it the same way, works as good as new even now.

Well, at least you know what to do if it happens again :p
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jtphl:
Is there an application that can fake my location ? This is for check-in purposes. I think Android and iOS has it.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ej_424:
Technically this should fall under "General" discussion. (Had to say it as I've been nailed before :)) .

Great question though as the WP7 app collection builds there will be a big need for this. MLB app comes to mind right away.....
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
actually it is more a Q/A question and a good one. I've been recently introduced to Android and thought it was nice to fake a location to use some navigation programs that otherwise would not open. the hope is that the location is stored someplace that is accessible by a 3rd party program and can be changed. would be nice.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] PG2G:
If there was, it'd have to be homebrew and with native code. I think to do this on iPhone you'd need to jailbreak also, right?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
It can be done and has but not approved by MS. It has the Facebook, Twitter, and 4SQ at this time and called GeoMAGIC.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] williammel:
You could also download the free sdk from create.msdn.com, and sideload the Xap file which you are trying to use for checkins. The emulator has a built in location 'faker' that uses bing maps to find locations. works pretty well

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] argolfermd:
It would appear that I got my Vivid for free. I went in on day 1 to buy it, and there was no one in the corp. store. It was the smoothest experience ever, and the rep actually had a brain. He saw I was running a custom ROM on my Inspire, and said "I won't bother telling you how this works, looks like you know enough already". I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I realized on the way home that he never asked me to pay for it.

I thought maybe he just charged it to my bill, but I haven't heard of at&t doing that for many years. Didn't show up on my bill either... I guess I am just lucky?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I suspect they will bill you later... when they catch the mistake.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
That happened to me when I upgraded my atrix, they forgot to charge the activation fee, but they put it on my first bill.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epimetheus35:
There are many kernel versions. But i don't understand these abbreviations:

2WAY/NO2WAY: ?

BFS: ?

CFS: ?

SVS: ?

HAVS: ?

wifin: ? (

wifin

-2.6.35.8-snq-111118.zip)

Can anyone define them? Thank you...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
2WAY/NO2WAY: it for recording calls, see more here

BFS - Brain F**k Scheduler

The scheduler essentially handles CPU resource allocation. It controls how the CPU ramps up in frequency and down again when not needed. The BFS version is generally very snappy (possibly more so than CFS) but is an older scheduler. It is designed to minimise latency on low spec'd machines (desktops generally)

Further details here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_****_Scheduler

CFS - Completely Fair Scheduler

This particular scheduler is newer than BFS. It is designed to make the best of High end machines (desktops again). In the early days, CFS seemed much laggier than BFS but now there is not too much in it. I am quite happily running a modern CFS kernel and I don't experience any lag issues.

Further details here:

SVS - Static Voltage Scaling. HTC's default Kernel is SVS.

Static Voltage Scaling means every CPU frequency uses a set, predefined amount of "power" to sustain that Frequency. The higher the MHz, the higher the mV, meaning the more power is used.

Essentially, SVS uses a table where frequency x = voltage Y

HAVS - Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling

HAVS is is not a set VDD value for each frequency. Rather, it uses a range. This means that frequency x = voltage y-z, depending on a 3rd element - Temperature.

WIFI N= self explanatory

If I kill one of the ADB processes manually, I can get it to skip the automatic version check and get to "Waiting for Device" but then nothing happens there, either.

Extract, and use the rageagainstthecage, busybox, su, Superuser.apk with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8315805&postcount=2

The only difference is the block device /system is mounted from (the guide says mtdblock3, and I think on the droid it is mtdblock4). Just type `mount` on the command line and look for the line that has /system and check the mount path.

I used superoneclick 1.7 to root a stock frk76.

On a note to new users...if you are on windows 7, I could not get it to work. I had an old xp machine that I downloaded soc1.7 to, when I first tried to run it, my PC posted an error about .net 2.0 framework. I Google, found, and downloaded the net 2 0 framework and it worked instantly.

It did not give me recovery. I used rsdlite and only rsd recovery after I rooted it to install cwm. Once you install cwm go directly to it and flash your new rom.

For me, after I rooted and had a stock rom, my recovery would not survive a reboot. But after moving cm7 and gapps to my SD card, re-rsd recovery. Booted directly to recovery. Flashed. Once booted I went to rom manager and had it reflash cwm recovery again and it never had another issue.

My steps may sound confusing but this is what I did.

I do not have sdk setup completely on my laptop and found this to be extremely easy. It works 100% and supplied no errors. I hope this helps someone else.
