probably your cell imei not free and therefore can not change your sim.

There is an application called "****docomo" worth to release the imei. Make a backup just in case

Don't think he has a SIM unlock problem. Considering that it was working with AT&T, which never had a locked version of the GNex, I think he's having another issue.

I'd tell the OP to make 100% sure that his new T-Mobile SIM is activated and not defective, then try a few reboots and swaps back to the old SIM and do some troubleshooting. If it's the phone and not the SIM, its likely a mobile network registration error or an APN issue.

Looking in the notification bar, it seems like the phone doesn't think there's even a SIM inserted. Make sure you didn't damage a pin in the SIM tray, and that the SIM is properly inserted and clean. I don't think you'd get this error of "no SIM" if your phone was locked. If that was the case, the phone would recognize the SIM and prompt for an unlock code, which you're not getting.

Hello everyone, I bought this HD2 off ebay.

The auto rotate never seems to work, I flashed it to 2 of the latest roms but it still does not work at all.

I am currently using

htcleo-2.6.32-ics kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4

Android 4.0.4 CM9.0.0-stable

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this fixed?

Hi... Just wondering... After i flashed CM9 stable release, I can no longer view my music or video files on any rom. It's visible on my sd card but it will not load.... Any one have this problem or knows how to fix this?... I've tried Rescan media and Scan media but it doesnt work.

sorry i did not see the other post going to delete this

I have the same problem what other roms did you flash. I went back to complete stock fc09 and it shows no pictures. I am going to try reformatting my sd card after I make a back up
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Try this first!

In terminal emulator

type: su [enter] (allow if prompted)

find / -iname .nomedia

Then look for an entry in the root of the sdcard, in other words:

/mnt/sdcard/.nomedia

You will probably see a few results. If the line above appears in that list, then type:

rm /mnt/sdcard/.nomedia

This will remove the rogue file...

For those of you with TEP you can use the protection app to do things like get the gps of your phone, lock it, erase data etc. I kinda prefer it to some things out there. Looks like the servers finally recognize our phone on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
It installed and seems to be working. Is there anything specific you'd like me to check?

EDIT: I guess I should add that I'm on Kuban FF18
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not really, if you have TEP on your account you should be able to login and set the GPS options.

That was the main thing I was using it for originally. You can check your phones location on the TEP website. Lets you know you dropped the phone where your car is parked rather than having dropped it at work. Less freaking out and more finding :p Until it became supported people would have had to rely on 3rd party solutions. I didnt like some of them.

Before it worked it it would just say our phone was unsupported. Was just curious.

I see this a lot when I'm talking to folks about Google Drive, and Google hasn't been very forthcoming about it's plans to allow exporting in the phone app. I don't know if they just forgot to implement such a feature (which would be an egregious error on their part), or if they're just worried about copyright infringement and such. Google Drive has the potential to be much cheaper, easier to use, more integrated, and more flexible than any of the competition.

METHOD 1

The easiest, safest, and most reliable way: Use Cloud2SD. It can be found at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hexxus.cloudtosd . This app used to be known as "Google Drive Download", however it was removed by Google for copyright reasons. Fair enough.

Once you've installed the app, go into Google Drive, long-press the file you want to save, click "Send", then hit "Download". That's it. Files are saved to your sdcard/Downloads directory. Pictures and such automatically appear in your gallery.

METHOD 2

If you're unwilling to spend 99 cents, then you can ALSO get access to your files the following way:

1.) Go into your Google Drive app, go into the Settings menu, and uncheck "enable encryption"

^ If you do not uncheck this, you will be able to navigate to the files in step 3 but you will be unable to view them unfortunately

2.) Click the small detail button (it looks like a triangle inside of a circle) on the right hand side of the file you want to "save". Check the mark that says "available offline"

^ If you do not do this, then the files will not appear in the folders @ step 3.

3.) Navigate to /mnt/sdcard/Android/Data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_Files_do_not_edit/"random numbers here"/etc

^ There will usually be multiple folders with random gibberish for names, and Android will continue to make them. This is a big hassle because it was never meant to be convenient. It's essentially a cache so you can view your files IN Google Drive even while offline.

NOTE: Pictures do NOT usually automatically appear in your gallery when "saved" using method 2. You have to keep telling gallery where to look. Each time a new gibberish folder is generated, you have to tell gallery to look there as well.

And that's it. Enjoy using your super cheap cloud storage plan from Google :)

ES File Explorer can also let you download your files. Google Drive can be so dumb...

Hello everyone. New to this site and before I start I want to thank any help. OK I just got a brand new HTC HD2, so new that it has no OS installed yet. I want to install Android in it, but since the phone doesn't have OS I don't know how to proceed with this.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Manual:
How would it help me to go back to ext3 ? and does Clock Work Mod Recovery Work with EXT 4?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
A quick Google search will tell you that 4ext lets you convert back and forth between ext3 and ext4 easily. Also, it is the best recovery available for Android, period, and not using it is doing yourself a disservice. Seriously. 4ext touch is incredible and every vision owner should be using it.

http://4ext.net

May I ask why you would ever go back to ext3? No ICS rom can run even remotely properly on ext3 and all the good GB roms should support and run much better on ext4.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
4ext Recovery allows for switching between ext3 and ext4, it's also a better recovery than CWM. Why do you want to switch back to ext3?

Thankyou for your reply bro :D I just asked because the old ROMs I used worked great in ext3 plus my stock ROM Nand is in EXT3 so if I need to send my phone for repairs I restore that one :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Ahh okay, but seriously ext4 offers a very noticeable performance increase, even with GB. Nobody should ever try to use ICS or JB without ext4 formatted partitions.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Gingerbread or older roms (ie: froyo etc that doesn't even support ext4) might, but for ICS onward ext4 is going to be your best filesystem for performance reasons.

And another vote here for 4EXT Touch Recovery regardless of which file system you go with.

Also with 4EXT Touch recovery, if you make a backup for a rom that was in ext3, it'll be restored as ext3, same with any backups made while it was in ext4, you can also convert said backup from one to the other under Tools prior to restoring it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
or you can convert the partition after flashing. Be careful since there's one option to convert and one to format. Nandroid it 1st.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Restoring a nandroid that is in ext4 will result in a ROM that is in ext4, it overwrites completely what was once there. Since the ROM you've flashed is in ext4, might as well leave it that way ... not only did the developer want it that way, but it's a much better file system.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
you can after true, it's all up to you if you prefer to format then flash from zip, or convert backup, or restore back up and then convert partitions. Converting the backups tends to be much faster because 4EXT style backups are tar files, and all it does is formats the existing partition to the appropriate format before un-taring the backup to it. Where as restoring to ext3 and then converting later will take time. (just make sure to keep a backup of the backup :D )

I guess the point is you got plenty of choices.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drag0nSnak3:
One question. Should only system be ext4 or would it be better if data and cache were ext4 as well?
