If you buy cheap phone on ebay that's what u get and u should pay attention very well to the listing details before u buy and ask the seller. But htc hd 2 is very powerful phone and I dropped mine and still working prefect also some times the roms doesn't work well with some phones for other reasons I still don't know.try as much roms as u can till u get the right one to it
[HD2 General] TheDaddy187:
NOPE... just bad luck
[HD2 General] murphy_:
It's not a crappy phone, you're just unlucky i think. I've had mine for almost 2 years and it still works perfectly fine. But i sometimes wish i had the t-mobile one. EU doesnt have enough space for sense roms.
[HD2 General] MichaelAmrs:
Horrible phone! Constantly freezes when receiving text messages, freezes at random times. Makes random calls. Constantly losing 3G. Freezes when I try to unlock the screen.I have had to remove the battery maybe 100 times in the past month.At multiple times it has completely shut down and wouldnt come back on when fully charged.

actually my brother has this phone....but i used it for a month.And my experience was terrible with this phone.Never recommend to anyone!
[HD2 General] TheDaddy187:
sounds like ur gettin the old winmo bugs...

try flashing android nand on it... android and hd2 work so well together... i rarely have problems... if ur not after a switch to android id suggest a custom winmo rom... energyrom was my rom of choice...
[HD2 General] laimsas:
have mine for over two years now, dropped few times, using original latest eu rom, perfect phone. I love it so much "reason is to do stuff... :D), so not switching to newer models with wp7. But today few nokia WP7 phones are comming to my company, so I may switch if these are cool
[HD2 General] white-energy:
I have had my HD2 since it was out (2009) and till now... its working perfectly no problems at all =)
[HD2 General] erwinpiero:
Using it over a year, start from wm6.5 then sd android, wp7 and now stick arround with nandroid. This multiOS kind device that makes me last long play with it, i eager to upgrade to latest new phone, but i'll miss a lot of interest and challenging thing then. I only had several awful color stripped on screen, restart phone will cure it and recently i lost sounds, maybe it caused while i drown in the river with my bike while HD2 was on my pocket. I disasemble and clean speaker contact and now my HD2 was rocks just like it does a year ago..
[HD2 General] Car-bon:
I use my HD2 nearly two years without hardware problems. I dropped it more than once and no damage. Each key still works.

How good it is depends on the ROM you use.
[HD2 General] KevinNolan:
My hd2 went broke after 10 months first the micro USB didn't worked anymore and few days later the back and the answer phone button failed.
[HD2 General] ibrahim.sayid:
The HTC HD2 isn't crap, the amount of "things" you can do on it is just endless, how many phones do you know that has lived for 2/3 or more years is being developed endlessly......
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ctkatz:
ok, i have a weird problem here. after rooting and installing some of my market apps, i have noticed that the text in the popup menus in all of my menus are white (making it hard to read them). i'm also trying to replace the keyboard, so i have installed a few file explorers. the background is black, and so is the text on that background. what has happened here and is there any way to fix that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
There have been several threads about this already. Some have tried to fix it but it has not been smooth.

That's why I threw that in there instead of a snide noob remark. XDA has made Android a terrific experience for me through several devices but it's width and breadth are staggering. The method I showed is a way to bang out quick searches with a variety of key words.

I'm basically looking for an app, or something I can flash that will make my SMS app look like the one picture here on my friend's tumblr.

He told me what device he had, but I lost the message in tumblr's tubes. If anyone could point me in the right direction, either to something similar or a ported version. That would be fabulous. Thanks so much! <3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Try GoSMS. You don't need to have Go Launcher installed to use it. It has lots of themes and customization options. Pick the list view not bubble view. There is also an ICS theme that may match perfectly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sesmu:
I'm using GO right now actually. I like it a lot, but unfortunately the ICS theme is all black and blue. I'm checking out the user themes, but I'm not too hopeful. Thanks though. :)

Yeah, I just remembered that the the I mentioned is black. Let me search the ones I have..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonoid:
Okay so I did research on this a while ago when trying to develop a broadcast application for music but I couldn't find much. My brother just threw an idea at me for an app and it has me curious again. Many devices are out there for broadcasting to an open FM frequency on a radio to play your music through, such as the Motorola Roadster. But all it does is connect your device to the radio frequency for broadcasting on the certain frequency you pick. I have never seen an app that allows an Android to broadcast at an FM frequency, only Radio apps to receive FM frequencies.Does anyone have any information on the capabilities of broadcasting FM frequency from an Android device? The idea is to develop a Ski beacon application. Currently, beacons are sold for backcountry hikers, skiiers, and snowboarders to be able to transmit their location to other beacons on a specific frequency of 457 kHz. This is not GPS mind you, it is radiowaves. I am really interested in helping figure out various uses of broadcasting radio frequency if possible. Thanks for your answers.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raver27:
I average between 3 to 5mb down and 1 to 2mb up,plenty fast enough for me(:

Sometimes I regret going with Nexus S not Galaxy S 4G !!! better video recording and better data speed !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donsh00tmesanta:
Lol I thought the ns was capable of 7mbps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
In theory it probably is, but under real world conditions I've always maxed out between 4 and 5. Still plenty fast, if you ask me. 4G speed seems like it would be awesome for tethering, except they cap you so you really just burn through your allotment quicker. For mobile browsing, a couple mbps seems perfectly adequate for most purposes. You can even stream standard-def video with that.

just stay away from boot loader..

it can brick your phone..except u know what r u doing

I just bricked my phone 5times..

2soft brick (when new on this stuff)

success once with unlocking boot loader

then phone no network problem (after few days unlocking boot loader)

then I' not sure what they done (security hole or whatever)

I can't unlocking boot loader anymore

I tired and bricked

waiting for repairing

and tried again and it died again

totally bricked man...can't get into flash mode anymore

and after 3times failed to unlocking so I wanna stay away from this stuff

but this my advice...

do it if your phone still under warranty

If you can restore the phone through PCC or Flashtool it is NOT a hard brick!

You may want to look around and read stuff to get behind the meaning of what "hard brick" really means.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpoendi:
I read that hardbrick is you cant go to xrecovery by tapping back arrow.

My phone was xxxx bricked when I tried to flash this xgin rom via CWM. First its intalled, then boot (i tought its a normal boot) but my phone got white screen after booting. No hard buttons work. That I can do is remove the battery. And reinsert. And press power button on. I try to go to xrecovery by tapping back arrow, its not work!!! Still booting, and got that damn white screen.

So what brick I was?

Xxx brick?

Is xxx brick a porn brick? xD

A hard brick means that you can only revive it using a special cable that makes contact on some pads under the white sticker (and special software)..

A hard brick means you need to send the phone for repair.

Ps: in my opinion there is just one type of brick, it's called "bricked", plain and simple. If you managed to recover you phone it means it was never bricked in the first place. A bricked phone cannot be recovered without making a direct connection with the ROM chip.

never mind i'm retarded. I figured out my issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zannyuk:
Long story short.

A whole bunch of people have bought cheap noname tablets from ebay sellers, expecting to get wm8650 based devices they have received imapx210 based devices in the same shell.

Hardcorehacker of uberoid fame is currently trying to help solve the issues with these noname tablets but currently has hit a couple of roadblocks.

Firstly being noname chinese tablets they seem to have a variety of model names and seem to be based on the hardware of the eken m009f but not 100%

I myself have 2 that seem to show model no. as m799ca v2.0 and the other is m799ca v2.2. Another that seems the same (according to others) is m7206 v1.2.

The second immediate roadblock is hardcorehacker still hasnt found the right way to decode the .img files in the firmware so we can go about fixing the actual issues the tablets themselves have.

If any of you know how to help hardcordhacker in any way, even if its just to show him the correct way to decompress the .img files then myself and a whole bunch of new noname chinese tablet owners would be very very grateful.

To see the progress so far check out http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?board=51.0 and if able to help AT ALL then that would be fantastic :)

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all :)

Since xda is a development community many of the tweaks/hacks have been applied successfully to the InfoTMIC based tablets such as the Flytouch/Superpad with some customization. Little effort has been put forth in support of the 7" InfoTMIC based tablet thus far but the same tweaks/hacks for the 10" tablets work well.

Some of the resources you seek are already posted here and on other support forums.

I just got my nexus today and was wondering if this was good battery life for the first days use and when it will start getting better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxynexusVZW:
This is the screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Just about. I usually get 7hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthony2558:
Thats a drastic drop! Id say about normal as well. Did you have a lot of apps that were re downloading from the time you first activated it. After a few days to a week when your done looking at your phone every 5 secs you'll start to see battery improvement haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxynexusVZW:
Tonight will be my 3rd time charging it. WIll it get a lot better tomorrow?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trdracer21:
That's normal if ur 4g on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
It can take 4-5 charge cycles for the battery to really get worked in.

Also, check out the juice defender plus app. Doubled my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Lithium Ion cells do not get better in any way after a few charges.

In fact the capacity goes down a wee tiny little bit with each and every charge, so your first charge was the "best" one.

Stop playing around with the thing for 5 hours non stop and you will get decent runtime. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrayAdjacent:
Best thing to do with a new device is to charge it up fully as soon as you can. Then run it down until you get the low battery warning. Then charge it back up.

Battery life will likely be pretty poor for the first week or so, then it will normalize.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Deep discharging (to 0%) is about the worst thing you can do to a LiIon battery, because it "hurts" it much more than several shallow discharges.

Also, like I said before, battery capacity won't in any way rise or "normalize" over the first week.

Battery life is poor the first days because you use your shiny new device all the time (i.e. more than later). It's like that for all of us. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_gonz79:
My battery life sucked the first few days, It got better though. It really only seems to suck it down if it is hunting for a signal constantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5891:
If you are using your phone a laptop replacement and are surfing the web constantly, expect it to die like a laptop.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
You also need to try this manual battery calibration:

http://myhtcdesire.com/tutorials/how-to-improve-your-battery-life-calibration-tutorial

After I did this, saw the battery reading 99% and 98% more often rather than straight to 96% after charged.

Originally, it was suggested by HTC tech support. I did that once every six months or so ... And my battery level is now improved. Screenshots will follow in the next post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Not bad?

Sync is off btw. And this includes using Maps 2%.

At least with my usage pattern, I am more or less satisfied.

I wish Google fixes the high Android OS Keep awake time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
It is quite easy to gauge a Lithium Ion battery. 4.20 V = full. 3.60 V = empty. Your phone can read the battery precise to 0.001 V. The curve isn't linear, but it's well known what voltage relates to the exact capacity left in the battery.

There's really no room to "feel" anything there, just simple math.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
+1

I consistently get 15-18 hours of use out of mine with the extended battery.

But to the OP, if your screen is taking up 60% of your battery, it's always on, your battery is gonna die, it happens. Your battery doesn't get "better" with time. It seems that way because you aren't glued to the device 24/7. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Mine was god awful when I first got it but after a week or so it got much, much better.

I have the GSM version though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
60% screen time gawt damn! Did you talk to anyone that day?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akalias1981:
Google need to run classes on how to read the battery consumption pages. 61% screen means that the screen used 61% of the total battery used, not that the screen was on 61% of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
I know that it was a joke. Did you or do you talk to any humans?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] femi4ever:
This was with pretty heavy usage (at least for me). I'm very impressed.

Hey guys,

I am thinking of switching over to iPhone 4S purely due to the fact that my ET4G is very unreliable in terms of the GPS signal..

I don't understand, my whole family has ET4G and when we all run GPS Status, everyone else's phone usually locks in less than 10 seconds and see 10+ satellite in the sky.

Mine connects usually after more than 1 minute past and also only see at max like 6 satellites.

Yes, I have dones the AGPS download/reset, and all the fixes out there..

Do you think this is a hardware problem related to my phone?

What could be causing this and what are some of the potential fixes?

Thanks.
