[HTC Sensation] areku:
Hi all, so I'm in the process of buying a second hand Sensation which is currently locked to Bell (Canada).

I've seen a few ways in order to sim unlock this here on XDA forum, but is there one recommended way for noobs to follow in order to unlock?

Also, I have seen there is a HTC Sensation and a HTC Sensation 4G. Is there anyway I can tell if the phone I am buying is a 4G?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Actually that is wrong. The sensation 4g picks up 4g. The normal one can't and never will, it doesn't have the extra antenna to be able to anyway. The xe and the normal sensation are the same just that the xe has red lights which are admittedly quite sexy :D

Now I know you are not serious since you use Yahoo Answers.

Good troll. 7/10
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Yes the yahoo answers aren't really valid but honstely search it up. When I went to America and I connected to the T-Mobile network why couldn't I pick up 4g in the heart of new york?

Maybe I'm wrong but I know for a fact there is an extra antenna and so what on earth could it possibly be used for?
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
The Sensation's 4G is HSDPA. Every Sensation is capable of that, even without the antenna.

I am actually going to use one of your sources.

And what did you get? H?

It only shows the 4G icon on a non-T-Mobile Sensation if you change the icon from H to 4G.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
3g.

Also sorry about before I was wrong :(

I've been trying to flash a ROM [Gingerclone V2] to my Sidekick 4G for a while now - I've ODINed 4 times due to lack of success. My problem seems to be the exact one as this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406745

but I haven't tried flashing a different ROM yet.

I already have the new binary recovery and .zip on my SD card before I start each time

My latest procedure:

> Using ES File Manager, copy Recovery into system>bin

> Go to ROM Manager; Flash ClockWorkMod (even though it says it's already flashed, I do it just to be safe)

> Install from SD card

> Phone goes to stock recovery screen. I select Reinstall Packages. Screen goes to CWM recovery

> Wipe Data/Factory Reset - gets stuck at formatting sdcard .android_secure

> battery pull

> Start up into stock recovery - choose wipe data, and then select reinstall packages; screen goes to CWM recovery

> Select Wipe Cache Partition

> Check Mounts - Unmount System

Here's where I'm not sure exactly what to do, and there don't seem to be any clear instructions...

> I choose Install from SD card (I don't remember the exact wording); find the zip file; select it

> It starts the install

> When install finishes, in big blue text reboot now comes up at the top of the screen (it's cut off, but I think that's what it says)

> The phone reboots, stuck at the splash screen, vibrating as if a Force Close repeatedly, as reported in the linked thread.

> ODIN

I may have forgotten a step or two. It would be very much appreciated if somebody could tell me I did wrong ^.^

Also: might be a n--b question, but is there such thing as an ODIN file for custom ROMs? Is there anyway I can get ay0teddy's ROM as this type of file and ODIN it directly?
[General Questions and Answers] EnigmaPrime001:
Hey Guys

I had a problem activating a rommed phone the other day.

The phone part is fine, it was the data part that would not work

Now the Sprint operator asked me to dial in Code ##DATA# or ##3282#

but nothing happens.

I had to revert back to stock rom pre-root & then contact CS at Sprint, then re-root my phone & install the rom

My Question is

Is there anyway of getting that code pr similar code to work in ICS

I have another phone I need to get activated but I would rather not go thru the same crap again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
I flashed Valhalla Final a few weeks ago, along with some other modifications. But I feel like it is still not giving me the power I need to run my games flawlessly. My games run a little faster, but they still lag out a lot. And so I was debating on whether or not I should flash Scom. It seems to have more features, but I don't know anything about its performance or stability. Valhalla final is very stable but it doesn't feel so powerful. That's why I would like to know which rom is better. Which rom will give me that flawless game?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Try both and find out. Results will vary, so we can't tell you what will perform best on your phone. In my experience icbinb is the best ROM for game performance. I use unnamed, because its my favorite and is just about equal to icbinbs performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
If I were you I would try Val Black personally, just to compare. It is a modded Val final and it definitely improved gaming on my phone.

I am on SCOM Floyd and have been since Erik released it. Its my favorite rom so far but I cannot get it to play Temple Run as well as Val Black.

Another important thing is Chainfire. I get terrible lag even on the not so intensive games until I use Chainfire + Nvidia plugin.
[Galaxy S III General] android_master:
Samsung will be hosting a press conference in New Delhi on May 31 to launch the Galaxy S III in India but the smartphone is likely to be available a week later. Multiple sources have told BGR India that the Galaxy S III will be available on store shelves around June 8. Even online retailers are expecting units to be available for shipping from June 8 onwards.

We are also hearing that the Galaxy S III will be priced at Rs 39,990. This is likely to be the MRP and not the street price. However, considering the high profile nature of the Galaxy S III, we cannot confirm whether the phone will retail at Rs 39,990 for the first few weeks or will it, like all other phones, have a different market operating price as soon as it is launched. At the moment, Samsung is taking pre-bookings for the Galaxy S III and is offering a free Bluetooth headset for those who commit Rs 2,000 to reserve their unit.

The Galaxy S III will compete with the HTC One X, which was launched in India for Rs 37,899 and is now retailing at about Rs 36,000. Samsung might just put a premium on the Galaxy S III, considering the success of the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note as well as its marketing muscle, which would easily overshadow what HTC has done so far for the One X. Ideally, HTC could gain some additional sales were it to slash the price of the One X but that is unlikely to happen.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
One of the biggest issues with getting ICS to run on the Shift, is a Kernel issue. We do not as of yet have a compatible Kernel. Until one gets ported.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drob311:
This is correct, we need a compatable kernel... We don't give 2 $****s about the other evo... Once the desire hd gets the ics update, that will help a lot with the kernel issue...

Long press an icon and manually change each? This was the only way I could do this, as opposed to a "change all." I only tried it once, though.

That should work for some of the icon packs. Others do not show up as available. If you want to test with a free icon pack download Dark Matter HD from Google Play Store and try it. i now show 4 available to select when i attempt it.

This has absolutely no relevance. This isn't a whining post. Peoples disdain for moto and Verizon has nothing to do with the community.

If you got official ics I bet DK would give you a Stable cm9 the next day with everything working.

Yawn.... I am so past this mess. Just waiting for my wireless contract to end so I can get a new phone. Until then, I'll run Eclipse until Dzk hopefully releases a more stable build of CM9X2.

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I'm in the same boat as you, running Eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I've been running cm9 since release and it hasn't locked up or restarted? I find its actually not to unstable although I don't use camera and don't run many apps. Battery life is a little bit worse than cm7. Lack of flash I think is the worst I personally see.

Edit... I think cm9 would be a lot more stable for folks if they would turn off auto rotation for the time being.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm going to turn off auto rotation and see if that helps.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
That's the only difference I can see as to why I don't have a lot of fc's or random reboots. I hope it works for you. I think cm9 gets an undeserved bad rap because a lot of people forget its a very early alpha and try to run it like its an oe rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] anthonbob:
Hello everyone. So currently I am considering getting the HTC Flyer. I can get one for around $160 USD (used but in good condition). Is it worth it? I definitely cannot afford new tablets but a used one with decent specs would do. I am about to enter college in the fall and was wondering if this tablet would be useful for this purpose, specifically because of the pen. Does the pen seem more like a gimmick or is it really useful (like with school and professional related tasks). Also, if I do get the HTC Flyer, can you all share what are great apps to make this device extra handy (apps which utilize the pen, notes and documents).

Recommended accessories would also be nice! Affordable ones that is. The pen is already sooooo expensive (IMHO) and I WANT it!!!

Is it advisable to update to HC or leave it on Android 2.3? I like the new pen features of HC but it seems HC is buggy (from what I read on this forum) and that isn't favorable when I may be taking notes in college with this thing.

I just want to get a device that would help me all round. Some entertainment here but useful in the classroom. I am on a tight budget (still have to get a laptop so please consider that)

I really appreciate everyone's time. I look forward to hearing from you all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
I purchased the flyer specifically for the pen usage and am very satisfied with it. I upgraded to honeycomb and if your main use is for the pen I suggest that you do too. I like the ability to annotate books in either epub or PDF. I like the feature in the stock notes app where you can record and your written notes are time stamped and synced with the recording and ultimately with evernote. however I don't particularly like how writing the notes are implemented (it is constantly wasting time autosaving). if you are just taking notes I would suggest using apps such as quill or papyrus (I myself prefer papyrus - it is very smooth and uses both buttons on the pen). what else I have been doing is using the voice recording app along with apps such as papyrus then exporting them together into the notes app which then seamlessly syncs with evernote (yes I know it seems tedious but I only do this if i really need the lecture recorded). the only thing that I really desire is a fully functional handwriting recognition app. I downloaded a couple of apps (thanks to Gumby) such as notes mobile. they work fairly well however my handwriting is so poor it isn't worth it. my family does much better with it so perhaps you can too.

so all in all if the flyer is in good shape for $160 I would highly recommend it. if i think of anything else to say I will let you know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ericvv:
The pen functionality is great for annotations on existing documents but it's not easy to take notes, like meeting minutes.

Anyway 160bucks is a nice price if you want a 7" tablet the flyer is great, but if you want to spend just 160bucks to replace a paper book to take notes in class that's going to disappoint you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
just wondering which app do you use to take notes? I can see the difficulty if you are using the stock notes app (due to the constant autosaving) but apps such as papyrus are very smooth and I find note taking to be very easy and productive.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ericvv:
So far the stock tool and MS notes, I'll try papyrus and let you know
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] anthonbob:
@ericvv. Thanks for your input. I don't plan on using it to replace "book, paper and pencil". I just want something that can help with making supplementary notes. I really doubt *anything* can replace the pen and pad for serious notes.

Just asking...I remember reading that only ebooks bought from Kobo can be annotated through the supplied app. But...is there anyway to side load e-pub and pdf books and annotate them the same way? Like through alternative apps. The Kobo way would be kind of expensive. :(

Thanks everyone for you time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GuestD0235:
I am using the app LectureNotes daily at my work to scribble down quick notes from meetings etc. It is actually working quite well and it has nearly eliminated my use of pen and paper, but only nearly :).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
And the developer is legend, I mailed him a couple of times with usability issues and within 3 or 4 days the updated app was on the marketplace. There is a free version to try, give it a spin.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JOLiu:
I believe that the standard HTC reader app should let you annotate ebooks. I actually sideloaded an epub on my Flyer and noted that I was able to highlight and take notes on. However, it should be noted that I'm running LeeDroid for Honeycomb, so I have no idea how everything works when the unit is stock.

I initially purchased the Flyer because it was cheap and slightly more portable than my HP Touchpad (running CM9) for travel purposes (i occasionally need to run Citrix to access my company's desktop). I also preferred it over the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet due to the existence of the cameras (I skype with my grandmother in Asia). Plus, the battery life on this thing is phenomenal. The fact that I got it for about $170 just made it all the sweeter. The only downside thus far, in my opinion, is the lack of ICS. I know a lot of people have commented that it is a single core machine. Since I don't really play any games on the tablet, this is a non-issue for me.

I thought that the pen was a total gimmick and unnecessary. For most of my uses, that is true. However, I figured out that my office can send me PDF documents, which I can sign using the pen, save the signed PDF, and send it back to my office. This does not happen that often, but it's a pretty neat feature to have.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] anthonbob:
Thanks everyone for the input. I made the plunge! :) I know this is off topic but...the Flyer I bought doesn't include a USB cable, only the charger. Would the standard USB cable work for this for PC connection? I really do hope so. Accessories for this thing already aren't cheap!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ericvv:
Yes normal usb cable is fine, for accessories look on eBay is not bad eve of for genuine HTC parts.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] anthonbob:
That's where I normally buy my accessories. I looked for the OEM cable which is a bit pricey IMHO. I will use my old USB cable! IS it slower or anything to transfer data with this cable though?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ericvv:
No I didn't isn't, the port is only different from mechanical point of view to prevent that you put other devices on the flyer OEM charger and damage them.... The amount of amps is just dangerous for over devices..

For example when my wife uses her ipad charger to charge her iphone the phone gets really hot and probably would be damaged if kept on to long.

Thank you very much for putting this together!

I am testing on an 8GB nook.

I can verify that the cwm and twrp2 recovery images boot with the 3.0 kernel, however CM9 fails to boot, it hangs on a blank screen with the backlight on and eventually just reboots. I am not able to get it to connect via usb to print logcat so I don't think it is getting very far.

Do you happen to have any instructions for tapping into the serial on these devices to see what is going on?

Also, with the new cwm it will not mount the sdcard through the menu. If I open a shell within cwm recovery I can mount it fine, except it is read-only.

In case it is useful, here is a dmesg from cwm:

Ah, this is very interesting! It's similar behavior to twrp.. a mounting issue with sdcard... wonder if this means the kernel is somehow not letting it mount, or if the problem is with recovery.fstab...
