lmao thats what i was hoping i woudlnt have to do.

they seemed to get bluetooth for hero 2.1 on the G1 working pretty quick, i was hoping camera support and a good port for the 32A magic would come before the end of the year or early next year :(

but from what i can see a lot of the good devs are in need of new phones, so i guess your right.

Can anyone please tell me if emails from paypal come from the email address

service@intr-paypal.com

as i think someone is trying to scam me :confused:
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'd say probably. I did a WHOIS on Paypal.com and compared the results to intr-paypal.com, and paypal.com had lots of information available while intr-paypal.com had little to no information, which a scammer would do and a legitimate business wouldn't. I also visited intr-paypal.com, and it's a blank site made with Google Sites. I highly recommend forwarding the emails to spoof@paypal.com, and reporting the fake site, as detailed here.
[Off-topic] mancsoulja:
Someone must know :eek: i'll tell you all the story anyway, i sold somthing to someone overseas for 350gbp, they paid via paypal, paypal sent me an email and said that they have receive the money and are holding on to it until i sent them proof of postage, i did this but am still yet to receive the money ........ earler 2day that person contacted me and wanted to buy somthing else i had for sale on ebay, before i could tell him i already sold it he paid again by the same way, i contacted paypal on the address they were emailing me from as above, they advised me that they could not refund the money as a security precaution to prevent scamming, and me and the buyer need to arrange a method of refund, the buyer wanted me to pay by western union, so i told paypal i would but only if the money was cleared in my paypal account first, paypal replied saying that they will not credit my account until i have shown them proof of the refund,

Is this for real or am i being scammed?

here is the last email paypal sent me

Thanks for the swift response, We regret to inform you that the funds can't be credited to your account until we see a prove of refund, we got an email from the buyer saying that the agreed method is Western Union Money Transfer, so we want you to go ahead and make the refund of £550.00 GBP through western union and then get back to us with the transfer details as requested below .

Sender's Name :

Sender's Address :

MTCN Number (Money Transfer Control Number) :

Security Question & Answer :

Once you make the refund get back to us with the above information and we would release the funds to your account immediately, Also you are advised not to send the Western Union details to the buyer until you're being told to do so, We won't disclose the Western Union information to the buyer until the funds has been successfully transferred to your account, You may ask the buyer's for his address for the Western Union Transfer.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience, We are trying to make sure both seller and buyer are safe from any fraudulent activity,

i already have sent a copy to spoof@paypal.com, i have sent the guy a htc hero i was selling to already thinking the money was with paypal ..... take it ive lost it :(
[Off-topic] MikeChannon:
Scam Scam Scam - this is a Scam. (Paypal did NOT send that)

That is so riddled with poor grammar, odd phrases and language you do not expect from a professional organisation. I've seen better grammar from my friends in The Bank of Burkino Fasso and at least he was offering me $90,000,000,000.

That is NOT from Paypal. Speak to Paypal using official links and numbers.

I'd also look at the email "headers" and look for the LAST received from IP number. Then do a Whois search to see it's source. (Nigeria is statistically likely)

I'm looking at the radio thread and I'm wondering which one to choose for my device. I know that the GSM is what I want but does it matter which one? I'm using a Telus hero in the US on AT&T HSPA. Also should I just grab the newest one or are some better than others? I'm running the Modaco 3.0 ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriEv:
use this one

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...ero-radio-63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22-signed.zip

We are still waiting on the first update from Telus to extract the official radios.. its probably going to happen when they update for 2.1 but these ones work fine, no issues to report
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itpromike:
That update made my downloads MUCH MUCH faster. thanks! :)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
no roms never reapplied simlocks on any htc made device I ever heard about
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
I fyou have an unlock code from your provider, then you can use it anytime to unlock the phone again, if it locked by a another rom.

None of the roms on this forum will lock your phone.
[HD2 General] DuoM:
Hi,

I'm thinking of ordering this phone either from mobiles.co.uk or mobilephonesdirect.co.uk and I would like to know if people in the UK that have recently got their phones on UK contract through either of these companies have received unlocked and unbranded generic HTC phones with all the standard software and accessories.

Also if you believe that your phone is unbranded have you been able to use the serial number to download a ROM from the HTC website?

Now that O2 and T-Mobile are also supplying the phones directly I am worried that these vendors may start supplying branded units from the networks.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Unlocked, unbranded stock bought directly from HTC.
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
I bought a HD2 on contract from mobilephonesdirect (instore though) and it was unbranded and I was able to flash the ROM with the upgrade from the HTC website.

If you buy the phone direct from the network provider you will probably find that it is locked down and branded.
[HD2 General] adthor:
Just had mine delivered from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, on t-mobile contract (ordered Monday pm delivered Wednesday)

Phone is unbranded. The serial number let me download the latest 1.48 ROM from HTC (already installed on the phone when it was delivered anyway).

Just put my old O2 sim card in. Connected straight away, so it's sim unlocked.
[HD2 General] lancemate:
bought mine from mobiles.co.uk with a vodafone contract.

unbranded and unlocked, as are all their handsets!
[HD2 General] ersinerk:
amazon

I bought mine from inkino in london for 519 pounds at the beginning of Dec.

Today I bought another one for my friend and I asked for the price they said 539 pounds, so we end up buying from amazon.co.uk for 513pounds.
[HD2 General] _tangent:
I bought mine on a t-mobile contract a few weeks ago from mobiles.co.uk

I haven't tried entering the serial for a rom upgrade yet (just gonna wait for 1.61) but as near as i can tell (is there a way to check for sure? like a code in the rom version?) it's unbranded/unlocked. Youtube app is still there, no branding anywhere in phone etc.
[HD2 General] lancemate:
As i mentioned in the previous post, all handsets from mobiles.co.uk are sim free versions, that is why you got your sim card in a little white envelope instead of in the box with the phone.
[HD2 General] flarestarwingz:
I've just bought an O2 HD2 from the shops. The case itself is a stock HTC HD2, not branded. The software has an O2 splash screen and a few wallpapers, along with CoPilot trial.

So the case is fine, and a custom rom later down the line will make it look like a standard HD2.
[HD2 General] _tangent:
Definitely good to know, since otherwise a sim free handset with a stock rom would cost a fortune.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
You might want to take a look at the list of vendors/sellers in the wiki.

Right now Handtec are the cheapest (without a contract) in the UK with a price of UK£ 486.40 (€538)
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Word of warning; not all handsets are unlocked/unbranded.

Look for the "Unlocked" green tick on product pages.
[HD2 General] kjt57:
If you buy from Mobiles .co.uk and order through Quidco you get £50 cashback!! (£5 to join). Got my cashback into my Quidco account to be paid in January.....:)
[HD2 General] O_G:
I Looked at both of these company's but the lack of contact number on one and the fact the other never picked up the phone worried me.

I Ordered mine from The www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk. They picked up the call in a couple of rings, So i could check availability. It was then delivered the next day. They are part of the car phone warehouse, so hopefully any possible future problems should be resolved quickly. They are also offering 12 month contracts that i have not seen from the likes of vf,t-mob etc. My total contract price is less than the RRP of a sim free HD2. Great!!:)

Its Also unlocked :)
[HD2 General] nyko.p:
I eventually got my HD2 through mobilephonesdirect after about 2-3 months of phoning up, emails and complaints. The website form wouldnt work with my address and they refused to admit there was anything wrong or help with the problem. My flatmate is trying to order the same but still has had no luck. I only managed to get an order through with them when i managed to speak to the one decent guy in the call centre. I think his name was 'adam', he'd be worth asking for if you need to phone up. He took 10 mins out to process my order over the phone and completed it without a problem - the site form hadn't worked with the exact same information.

The staff promised many times to give me a call back to take a phone order but i never recieved one. Often they were rude or had an attitude.

I'd really advise anyone to avoid them, however they did have the best monthly deal (tmobile web n walk 30 package - 700 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited web [and the highest fair usage cap per month compared to vodafone's 500mb monthly usage]).

Another note: instore staff are far more polite than the people i've spoken to on the phone.
[HD2 General] amp2009:
Dont order from mobilephonesdirect!!!

hi just trying to save you alot of hasle. do not order from mobilephonesdirect website. i ordered my phone from them it didnt arrive after a week so i cancled my order. about an hour after canceling i had an email saying that my order has been dispatched (AFTER I CANCLED) not only that all my emails where not answered correctly. i then had my second caclelation email answered by 1 that said i would not recieve my phone for another month at the time i had already recieved bills from o2 and they couldnt cancle my new contract as mobilephonesdirect had set it up and they refused to refund me my money till they got the phone(WHICH I TOLD THEM NOT TO SEND) back and i didnt even recieve that. had to get trading standards involved and i started a contract with tmobile but still no refund for the bills that i payed.

# oh yeah also when i ordered they advertised garanteed next day delivery and also said the phone was in stock... only after a week and atempting to cancle i found out that they didnt have it in stock at all.
[HD2 General] DuoM:
My thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my query.
[HD2 General] stemurphy:

Bought my hd2 from mobiles.co.uk.

Communication 7/10. Delivery 9/10.

Phone 9/10. Phone unlocked and unbranded I,ve put my Orange sim in it, came on a vodafone contract.

Ditched the gadget help line. not sure on the insurance. £8 month
[HD2 General] turborider:
Me too mate i got it from mobiles.co.uk and the phone HD2 was unlocked and i did checked on 4 other network simcards and work perfect with updates;)
[HD2 General] pda_crazy:
Guys,

MobilePhonesDirect worked very well for me.

I ordered my HD2 yesterday morning, in afternoon i got email that my order has been dispatched and this morning 10:00 AM i got it......
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
i agree totally, sounds like there all round procedures are terrible mate. there all part of the carphonewarehouse, these, e2save and some others. had nothing but trouble from them myself over repairs and stuff, was without my phone for 6 weeks all in all. 1st time was 4 WEEKS! waiting for my repaired phone, only me phoning them wondering wot happened to my phone i was told, "oh its here come and pick it up" phone call would of been nice to let me know. 2nd time waited to 2 weeks, had to phone them again it still wasnt there, but was told i have to pay for repair even though i pay £7 a month insurance. i jus cancelled my direct debit an left them with the phone. never again will i get a phone from any of these phone outlets, my advice, stick with the networks. there not unlocked but its just much easier if you encounter problems with your phone an stuff.
[Imagio General] rocknico100:
Hey!

Dunno if this was already posted on the site, I did a search on it and it didn't show up for the HTC Whitestone (Imagio), so I thought this could come in handy when it does happen to you (or to anyone with TF3D enabled really..)

My Imagio went crazy one day because I received over 40 text messages (I returned to the states and turned on my phone after only 2 days of no service overseas) and the blue blimp that normally counts messages remained frozen at 1 even after erasing all of my texts.

After some research I came up across FixUnreadCount , a program built back in 2004 or so which addresses this problem, although I dunno how it works since TF3D didn't exist back in 2004.

Anyways I ran the tiny exec in my Imagio, and viola! It solved my problems.

UPDATE: Didn't know there was a post about it less than 5 days ago, woops! :X

NOTE: you may require a restart upon completion, so make sure you dont have any unsaved programs running in the background!

Ok so not to sound guy or anything but I could kiss you I just spent an hour and a half on the phone with verizon just so they could do nothing and in 30 seconds this fix my phone your my hero.

[Imagio General] knotbeerdan:
Yeah i found this on another forum after i did a HR (Hard Reset) only to have it come back after i finished setting up my phone again. So i did a second and found this little gem while i was setting up yet again. Only to have it happen a third time in two days.... Luckly i had this already and no more hard resets :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Nice work! Looks great ;)

Just to confirm before I go fiddling... this will replace the T-Mobile splash on my UK G2 right? I do like the HTC and Hero screens so want to keep those. I just can't stand the T-Mob G2 screen.

Also, any chance of getting this in update.zip format? Sorry if that's asking too much!

Cheers,

Lee
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
this does replace the very first image shown when booting your device. the animations of the htc and hero logo are called bootscreen and are part of the rom, while the splash screen is stored in a kind of a lower level storage.

afaik this can not be done via recovery image, so no update.zip ever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Cheers for the info. Looks like I'll have to do it the long way :)

Will this work on a standard T-Mobile (UK) G2, standard ROM etc? If so will it get rid of the full volume jingle on reboot?

[G1 Android Development] coolmarkoo:
i am pretty sure he asked for super hero v3 and even though its old and less stable than the current ones its the one that he asked for so thats why i gave him the link this thread should be closed because its for development only and not for arguments which hero is better
