It looks like Telus GSM/3G will use the same bands at At&t, and rumor has it that they'll be getting the HD2 soon (Christmas or Q1), so I may have to get it from them.

I can't justify the jump to a TP2 since it has mostly the same hardware and I wouldn't qualify for a rebate yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
telus is mainly cdma. it appears that it is joining sprint and verizon in the jump to gsm. rightly so they should, since all of the world already uses it and its faster.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] silentP:
Amen to that. The TP2 isn't much of an "upgrade" to me. Screen size is hardly justification to me.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna K:
Hi!

I have a little question: Suppose that I buy a new HTC Hero and boot it up for the very first time. I don't change anything in the System Settings, don't make calls, write sms, download apps.. I do NOTHING with it. Because first of all, I want to put the new official ROM (ROM Upgrade for HTC Hero_2.73.405.5) on it. Is it necessary to make a back-up of the pre-installed apps on the Hero (those who came with the device) and the rest of the software. I'm speaking of the European version (NOT Sprint).

If so, what is the difference in back-up options between HTC Sync (comes with it, on the micro sd card) and apps from the Market, like MyBackup Pro?

Thanks in advance !!

Greets ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
If by pre-installed apps you mean Music, People, Peep (Twitter client), Google Maps, etc. then no, you don't need to back it up before you update it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna K:
Hi!

Thanks for the response :) and yeah, by "pre-installed", I mean EVERYTHING that is on the Hero when you take it out of the box and boot it up the very first time (going from "Messages" to "Peep", "Google Maps" and even the WIDGETS).

Ty!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna K:
another question about this ROM-update:

after the upgrade, do you get the "intro" again, where you have to insert your gmail-adres, facebook-info etc , the whole initial setup, for syncing with gmail etc. Or is that information still in the phone?

thanks!

greets ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pume:
Hey,

Everything will be there. Once you've updated, you can do a factory reset from the settings to get the "intro" again after the boot.

Hey mate, my advice would be to read up on the dummies guide to flashing roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377, and start FLASHING, it can take a bit of getting used to at first but definately worth persevering with.

I use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=524032, you can see screenshots of the rom itself in post #2

Well, I guess it depends on what you like to do with it.

Here's a list of the things I use on mine.

CoPilot 8 for SatNav (not free)

Coreplayer (not free) for play back of movies and tv

CleanRAM - frees up memory that apps have left unavailable for Windows, saves rebooting.

myPlayer - for streaming TV, but more importantly for me, I can download programs from BBC iPlayer direct to the phone.

Internet Explorer - this is installed by default, but I tweaked the settings to make it pretend to be a Nokia phone, this is so I can watch Sky Sports using the Vodafone service. On a HSDPA connection, it is not bad at all for £5 per month

Nimbuzz - instant messenger, I have used this and Fring, which allow you to be connected to Skype, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, GoogleTalk (and theoretically Facebook and Twitter)

Midomi - Music Id to "name that tune" - not used very often, but pretty cool

when I do

Google Maps - when you need satellite or street view.

G-Watch - nice stopwatch and countdown timer

HD Soft Reset - allows you to reboot easily

HD Tweak - let's you tweak various settings

Run GPS - Go for a run or on your bike, it will track your journey and create file you can then upload to various services which will map your journey.

If you get a heart rate monitor it can monitor and chart that.

Whilst you are running it can announce your progress via the headphones, telling you various information including how fast you are , whether you have deviated from your journey, or even if you are running slower/faster than a previous journey.

Remotely accessing a PC:

VNC

LogMeIn

RemoteDesktop

These all work and may suit your needs

MyMobiler, allows you to use your windows keyboard and mouse to control the phone. So for IM, it is much quicker to type on a full size keyboard.

It is a little laggy sometimes, and I believe there is a HTC equivalent, but I haven't tried it.

I did try S2U2 - Slide to Unlock, but for me it seemed to kill the machine and everything ran very slowly.

I have tried some of the other browsers, like

Skyfire and Fennec but Opera still wins for me.

Outlook push email with Google Mail works well for me, not sure it is quite as instant always as Google would have me believe, but fast enough for my needs, and having it automatically deliver my mail to my phone means I can review them on the tube.

I also use the FM Radio quite a bit too.

Hope this helps.

[Touch GSM Accessories] ZaLiTHkA:
That subject line sounds almost kinky... Lol. Anyway, before I get off-topic, I just got a cover for my Elf from eBay. Unfortunately, it isn't the best quality, but for what I paid ($9.99 excl postage) it was definitely worth it. With currency conversion and shipping to SA, it came to about R120 where as a local equivalent would be close to R300.....

Anyway, the front flap folds down, hinged at the bottom behind the USB connector, and with a clip that goes over the top of the speaker and over to the back. The clip, however, is not in the right place and so it's very tight. I don't have a camera handy, but here is an image of what the cover looks like:

(please excuse the 'eWWT' name on it, this image is from an eBay listing by Easy World Wide Trading)

I'm thinking about trying to remove the clip that goes over the top in favour of having either two small magnets or two small pieces of velcro to hold the flap shut. Only thing is, either way it would need to go on the front above the screen, one in each corner.

What I'd like to know is this, are those small magnetic pads on the belt pouches (where you must remove the device to use it) strong enough to cause a problem being that close to the device all the time? Another thing to keep in mind is I only have one arm thanks to a motorbike accident, so having a tight clip around the back makes things difficult..
[Touch GSM Accessories] verdasco:
I have a similar Leather case even I would like to know whether the magnet at the back side cause any battery drain or harm the speakers anything..pls Reply
[Touch GSM Accessories] Leooooooo:
The price is attractive, but the outlook and the design looks outdated:(
[Touch GSM Accessories] ZaLiTHkA:
Lol.. Leooooooo, this is a rather old thread... ;) In the end I just cut the flap off and I use it like that. May be considered an 'outdated design', but it's practical and I like it. Still using the same pouch today and I'm happy with it.

Now, i've done flashing before - i've had a vogue for a while. I'm gettin the Dual for its 3G.

I'd like to flash a ROM, however i'm a bit overwhelmed - and concered. Are there any step-by-step threads to exactly what is needed?

I see that Radio 1.65 and SPL 1.22 is needed for most, but i'm not finding any tutorials on how to ensure that's done.

Also, i've noticed that there aren't various roms for various carriers, like I've seen with the vogue. If I'm will Bell Canada, can I use any ROM?

Thanks dudes.

1、取下sim卡和内存卡 take out your sim card and TF card.

2、连接ＵＳＢ数据线，确保手机已经和电脑同步 Connect your phone to pc using usb port ,make sure your ActiveSync is running!

3、复制sspl-1.16.exe进入手机，然后运行它，大约1分钟以后就会显示“USB”连接的字样 Copy sspl-1.16.exe to your phone, then install, and then （about one minute or later） your phone will display "USB" connected

4、.拔下数据线，然后再插入数据线 reconnect your phone (disconnect and to connect<sorry,my english is badly>)

5、刷hardspl-1.16.nbh通过flash-hardspl中的ROMUpdateUtility.exe

using ROMUpdateUtility.exe to flash-hardspl (package:hardspl-1.16.nbj)

6、进三色瓶看到NIKI200 MFG SPL-1.16.Hord CPLD-4

Turn off your phone and Open bootloader，you will see "NIKI200 MFG SPL-1.16.Hord CPLD-4

So Ive been modding out my G1 for some time now however i haven't seen an article about a way to prevent/select/isolate allot of programs installed from booting at the same time the phone does?

some details about my phone are cyanogenmod 4.1.99 with overclock widget set to 527 when screen on, open home as default, theme with custom font, 6 widgets always running (date,overclock, weather, tunewiki, pics, power control), have 51 programs install to 4gb 2 partion sdcard (the app2sd mod). the phone runs lightning fast after it takes about 5 mins to boot up and i run advanced task manager and kill about 12 apps that boot with the phone.

I was hoping someone would know how to shave about 4.5 mins from my phones boot time and just boot the core android os files with the widgets, task manager, and programs listed above? The docs dont have to be sugar coated and easy to swallow as im decently proficient with linux. just a point in the right direction will help. thx in advance.

Hi there,

I have rooted my G2 with MCR 2.3 and using android-wifi-tether.

I have been using the tether connected via wifi to my notebook AND G2 is plugged into my laptop charging, for a few hours straight.

Yes, my G2 is pretty warm but it the LED has just started flashing green - orange - green - orange, repeatedly.

There are no new notifications.

The flashing only stopped when I unplugged the USB cable.

Anyone else witnessed this? Is it some kind of overheat warning?

Thanks.

[General Topics] Mr_McFisto:
I have a Windows Mobile device 6.1 Pro.

I have Messaging setup to collect my personal emails from the Internet via my HSDPA connection.

I also have an account for my work email (POP3) which I collect via the company VPN.

This is my problem, and it's something I've lived with for a long time as I don't think it can be changed. Maybe you guys can help.

I open Messaging and switch to my work email account. I have the Network Connection set to use 'Work' Settings, and in the Work settings I have my VPN connection.

If I open Settings, Connections and click and hold on the VPN settings I can connect manually. Now I have a VPN connection and I can send and receive mail.

However, I want to be able to Send/Receive and for this to be automatic, so when I do this, if there's no 3G, it connects first, then the VPN connection is triggered, and the connection is established - however, in the mean time Messaging has gone off to try to find email from my work servers on the Internet, and always fails obviously. If I Send/Receive again, it connects right away as the VPN connection is already established from the first attempt. Email is sent and recieved as you would expect.

My problem is Messaging doesn't wait long enough for the VPN connection to be established, and although it triggers it, it tried to collect email before it's finished connecting, then I have to try again.

Or connect the VPN manually, but this is many clicks and not so User Friendly for staff who aren't so WinMo savvy.

Is there a way to have Messaging wait long enough for all relevant connections to be established before trying to find the mail server??

Hey everyone, as I am thinking about getting a Shift, I want to get a secondary phone to go alongside it.

I was thinking about a Nokia N95 as they are dead cheap and a decent phone, but I would really like a cheap WinMo device so i can use TomTom on it. Obviously a HTC device would be the best.

The only thing I require is that it has a full QWERTY keyboard and an inbuilt GPS unit. It needs to be second hand and below £100 (£40-£80) so im looking at ebay.

Any help would be appreciated with names etc!

£70

HTC Blue Angel

£40-£60
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
What do you mean by cheap? A lot of people look at the sticker price (which is irrelevant) and go off of that. But if you're also getting a contract, then that's where all the money goes. So, are you getting a contract? If so, I would just ignore the phone price ($100, $200, $300) and be more concerned with the contract requirements. If you're getting a non-contract phone, maybe look around for a used touch pro/fuze. They were ~$500 new a year ago, so I'd imagine you could get a used one for half that or less.
