How often do you flash your phone?

For me, its everytime a new version of the rom i use gets released.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Off topic

Thanks to XDA is that I´m still loving WM!

If not I´m sure I moved to another platform:cool:

I have flashed so many times I don´t even remember:)
[General Topics] cmstackar:
I usually flash when I get bored, or the ROM starts slowing down. Or whenever I flash my own ROM, I realize it is awful and go straight to xda for a new one
[General Topics] galaxys:
Been hooked for years :eek: But now I'm flashing on Android thanks to xda! :cool:
[General Topics] tropical cactus:
I've lost count as well. But the thing is I find myself instinctively returning to certain roms, even if it is a much earlier rom. It's like they have a personality of their own. ( I hope I don't sound too wierd here ... plus I have a life).

You also become an expert on how fast you can get all your software and themes up and running should the new rom rain on your expectations. It's like a pit stop in F1.:D:D:D
[General Topics] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
I started flashing about a week ago, and I tried 3 custom ROMs from XDA.

Im gonna try cooking a custom ROM myself soon too, because I have very specific requirements for my ROM :)

However, I'm NEVER going back to my original 6.1 ROM. 6.5.3 is the way to go, even though I can't use my old manilla themes anymore.

Everything improved by an awful lot.

Also, i think this post is a good moment to say thanks to all the chefs that create custom roms for us!
[General Topics] spiderhider:
i only started flashing roms the other day, i was doing one a day but have settled on one that seems to be holding my battery a lot longer than the others i used so im gonna stick with this one (xannytech's EVOLUTION 1.1)!

also love this site and the "USE THE SEARCH" mentality, its awesome.

I don't have a *twitch* problem. I merely *twitch* need my *twitch* fix. I can *twitch* stop anytime, *twitch* do you have some*twitch*thing for me *twitch* to flash? *twitch**twitch*
[General Topics] Fallen Spartan:
Well to be honest I'm not sure how many roms I've flashed. I know its hundreds!!

I've 2 devices so I have one for everyday use and one for testing/flashing. As a mod I like to know what I'm talking about so I tend to flash nearly every rom which comes out for my device (HD). I'm flashing daily :p. However as more and more chefs have appeared this has become more combersome so I try and limit this to 3-6 chefs unless something really catches my eye (new build etc). So I'm only flashing when one of these chefs release a new rom.....which still seems to be daily or every other day...lol :rolleyes:. Then I choose my preferred rom and flash it onto my everyday use device

Rick

lol, very good.....though I would get that *twitch* sorted out very soon......think I heard another rom was released!!! ;)
[General Topics] AthenaLod:
for me, it depends on how much time i have, and if the new version of the rom has stuff that i am really interested in. otherwise, i'd just skip the update
[General Topics] stylez:
There is no way to compehend how many times have flashed... Excalibur tryed all ROMs made joint project ROM every minor tweak a flash, Kaiser same deal yet now lives with stylez black v.5 once you have a ROM on there that is to your preference then flashing another isn't a necesitty, now using Touch Pro flashed the ROMs that take my fancy now back in Kitchen... Flashing aboit 2 x a day as need phone set up.

Spelling whack just had a surge and net not working :( used to inline spellcheck :D

So yes i still have the bug but not as bad as used too lol
[General Topics] Fallen Spartan:
I think constant flashing soon starts to ware you out. People have other committments as well which can eat up time. I've a family so my time is limited, but when I can I still flash, tweak and play. With time the bug does start to decrease, but only a little bit ;)
[General Topics] supersanj:
I am definitely a flash junkie. Not a week goes by and im flashing another ROM. No other platform so far is this hackable\customisable\tweakable.....you get the point.
[General Topics] leemoss84:
i flash mine everytime nrgz28 comes out with a new rom. he makes the best in my opinion. i also try others but i always find myself going back to energy roms!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
I believe I've bricked my Ozone. It powers on and stays at the HTC screen. I've done a factory rom update with no success. What are my options? Is there anyone on the forum that offers repair?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
I'm in the same boat. Got a Verizon Ozone from a someone who decided that the phone was dead for good. It would be nice to get it up and running though as I'm kind of in need of a smartphone at the moment.

What I've heard is that all he tried to do was the official 6.5 upgrade but, in the words of Dr. House: everybody lies. The bootloader reads SPL-0.44.0000 and I've been able to flash the official 6.5 CEDAIMG.nbh from an sd card but nothing changes there either; it just sits at the first HTC screen.

Of all the options I've read about, the last is a goldcard but I have also read that the Ozone/Cedar doesn't have one yet. Is that worth looking into? Any ideas what's actually going on with the phone that makes it hang?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
Hit the back button... sorry for the double post. =)
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
That's pretty much what happened to mine. I called HTC and sent the phone in for repair.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
Keep this post updated as to how that goes. If it works out, I might give them a call too. Were you covered by any sort of warranty? Any big hurdles to jump over to get them to replace the device? Any cost to you?

Fingers crossed that it works out!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
So far I believe it's covered under warranty. They called me Monday and asked for the factory sim card to repair it. I wonder if it needs the sim card in to do a factory rom install? I should hear back soon.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
Hmm... That's kind of weird. I wouldn't think they would need it. =/ I just called PCD today and got the address for sending my mobile in with instructions to remove all cards. Hopefully someone else gets assigned mine. =)

My friend didn't dig up the SIM since I'm planning on using the phone between Washington and Vancouver, B.C. so, hopefully they don't ask for it in my case!

Thanks for the update!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
Don't ship UPS. I did, and they charged me $16 - said it was because of their address.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
Well, I'm off to the Post Office to send this thing to NY. Hopefully the turnaround time is reasonable and if they can't/won't actually fix it, I can get it back in case xda discovers anything out about this problem.

Let me know if you hear anything else about you phone.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
I got mine back today. According to the paper work they had to replace the phones main board. This thing is bone stock. It's carrier locked too, I don't know how to unlock it. I can't program it because it wants me to press the send key to activate which dials *228. But I need to dial *22890. Dunno how to do this when it won't let me dial anything.

Time to try to do a non factory rom and brick it again!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
I think it took about 3 weeks. Did you send yours with the sim card just in case they need it?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Rhodium500:
Did any ozone users try the new verizon 6.5 rom to fix the bricking?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kos26:
I did. No luck.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
I can deal with 3 weeks if need be... glad to hear your phone is back though! Are you on Verizon? I assume so if you're dealing with an Ozone but can never be too sure. =) What do you mean by "carrier locked"? Are you refering to the SIM slot? The stock Ozone comes locked to their Vodaphone SIM and you have to call Verizon or pay for an unlock code. If they changed the mainboard then it's probably like a brand new phone. HTC Snap on VZW Sim Unlock

I actually don't have a SIM attached to my account right now since I moved back to my old phone and the card is boxed up somewhere... =/ If they ask for it, I'll just be telling them that I don't have plans to be using it and will SIM unlock the phone when I go to the Phillipines. My phone just hit NY so, I'll let you know what happens to me!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] chachi04:
Totally didn't catch this question up above! Yeah, I did also... using both the USB and SD card methods. The bootloader looked like it worked just fine but when the phone would go to boot for the first time, it would freeze at the first HTC screen. I mentioned this in another thread but the Sprint Snap apparently had an issue with similar symptoms which resulted in a hotfix from HTC..

I unpacked it and it looks like just a PRL. If only there was a hotfix like this for the Ozone; would have saved me a bit of time.
[Touch2 General] fisty:
Hey everyone!

Not long ago i bought this htc touch 2

But once in a while i get these network problems. Sometimes, it just cuts off after turning phone off and on. Sometimes it just says i have network, but no one can call in, or send sms. have tried this:

- turning off 3g

- reset the phone with two methods (back to factory settings, and just ordinary default settings reset)

- "restarted phoneoperating settings"

- tried two different sim cards

- searched for phone network, but phone says "cant register on chosen network etc."

looked around in phone settings, changing all sorts of things, but aint getting anywhere. getting furious!!

another thing, have tried to switch between gsm, and wcdma

All these changes seemes to work SOMETIMES...after the network disconnects again, i have to use some other settings. It doesn't work with just one simple setting....
[Touch2 General] fisty:
soooo...anyone uptil now who have had these problem yet?its a bit frustrating to have a phone u cant use...as a phone...still cant ring or send msg.....
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
I am curious to know how technically the OTA work. Is the notification/file sent through the Carrier cell phone connection, data connection, wifi ?!?!?!?!

And speeking of OTA, i've not yet received my update notification.

Pakal
[Nexus One General] Prod1702:
Not sure if i am right but by the looks of your sig your N1 is unlocked/rooted. I do not believe you will get the OTA at all without updating it yourself. Think it has to do with you having a custom rom. Don't quote me on it but thats what i think. you can always just update to it yourself as well. Search the forum. There are alot of posts on how to do it and where to download the file. Remember i am only going off what info i see from your sig.

To also answer your question of how the OTA is given to you. You will get a notification of it and the option to download and install the file or wait and do it later. It is all done over a data connection.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Just one correction... the OTA update downloads automatically, and I'm guessing it's temporarily stored on an internal partition on the phone. When you see the notification, it's already downloaded and when you choose to install, the phone immediately reboots and installs the update.
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
OK, thanks for the info.

Yes I am already rooted and with a custom ROM so I really do not care about the update. I was just curious to see how the process works. You're saying that the OTA predownloads the file to your phone , but how, over the Cell phone carrier data channel ?!?!? And what if I do NOT have a data subscription ?

P_
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
If you haven't disabled your data connection, then you'll probably be charged by your carrier.
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
Ouch, that will cost as much as the new unsubsidized phone !!!!!

P_
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
These are smartphones man... not having a data subscription is like driving a Porsche on a racetrack with winter tires.
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
:)

You have a point !!! I surely have a data plan, although on edge (only att 3g frequency here ) . All I need know is my cyanogen OTI (over the internet) new ROM. ......:)
[Nexus One General] kam187:
if you're rooted, you will get the notifcation, but it'll fail on the update.

There's already versions of the update for rooted phones on here, and probably custom roms including it anyway.
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
I am all set. I do not think U noticed my signature. I already have the latest CM add on, with the MT functions. I am now waiting for Cyanogen's new ROM based on the ERE27 firmare version.

[HD2 Accessories] Tomo1340:
Thanks guys,

any chance of a mini review?
[HD2 Accessories] vlad48:
Well in brief (I have the E4 case) it cost every penny. After near 3 months of usage with 3 cards in it - simply flawless. It arrived to Eastern Europe in 14 days after was made with registered mail.
[HD2 Accessories] D.O.C:
I wonder if this would fit, it looks nice and I really need to carry with only one package (phone + ID and some money). I was looking at the dimensions and it states it is 125 x 60 x 15mm, HD2 being 120.5 x 67 x 11 mm.

Looking at the picture you can see that the phone holds with a stretching band, noly thing I am worried about is the HD2 protuding on the side making the wallet difficult to close.

What do you guys think, does any one got it? Do you know of any good alternatives (do not say piel frama cause I already saw it and did not like the way it holds the HD2, some leather in front of the hd2 for holding).

Thanks guys!.
[HD2 Accessories] bym007:
It looks promising, as long as I dont use it for money+cards.

I dont want to be flashing my bank cards every time, I use my phone!

Otherwise, I like the way phone can be kept inside the clear sleave.
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
I've had similar cases and putting anything such as cards or SD cards will eventually scratch the screen. I would stay away from any case that exposes the cards to the screen.
[HD2 Accessories] chaoscentral:
I'd love to see a card scratch glass, unless your cards are made of glass or harder :confused:
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
Have you heard of screen protectors? They exist for a reason.
[HD2 Accessories] chaoscentral:
I'm sure they do. But in my experience, EVERY phone I've had with a glass screen, I didn't use a screen protector, and they have NEVER gotten a scratch on them. and this is with the occasional drop, and the sometimes forgetful put in pocket with keys.

Plastic screens definitely need a screen protector. but my iPhone was fine, my Hero was fine, and my HD2 is still fine.
[HD2 Accessories] bym007:
I second you on that!

I have never bought a screen protector for any phone I have used, but I have never had any scratches on them (apart from when I dropped my Nokia 8310 from 1st floor!).

Saying that I dont want to jinx my HD2 ..
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
I've cracked the screen on my htc blueangel. Although it's glass, there are delicate layers above it...

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/iphone2.htm

I believe this is the same on the HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] bym007:
A screen protector, I believe, is for avoiding scratches. Screen cracks are an "act of God" and can not be avoided with a screen protector.

Correct me if I am wrong.

(I will add I have thought about it once or twice, but never bought a screen protector in my life).
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
I have this wallet - for less than £4 - and it's perfect. Absolutely the best phone accessory I've ever had. And I'm sure it will last the 1 -2 years I have my phone, by which point I'll need a new phone wallet!

eBay

I should add I can fit 6/7 cards in it, plus a few notes, and it doubles up as a horizontal stand for films etc.
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
To clarify, I was referencing my cracked screen to be glass that had layers above it that was scratched by things as a stylus and cards.

But, with the HD2, it's very hard to tell if there are layers above the glass. I've read there are videos of people trying to scratch it, but can't because the top layer is glass. In any case, I am not in a hurry to buy a screen protector, but at the same time I don't intend on buying a case with card holders in front of the screen.
[HD2 Accessories] bym007:
I would definitely like something like this without the card holder option!

By the way, can your phone take pictures with this wallet on ? (I am guessing not)
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
Do you have problems with swiping the slider and reaching the far left and right selections? The leather boarder on the screen prevents me from reaching the far left and right.

Actually, those pockets wouldn't be a bad idea, but for different reasons. I have a leather case like that for my other pda and use it as a shield for the screen by cutting an old card and hide it inside the pocket.

I plan to modify my new case by stitching a pocket to the cover and slipping an aluminum plate inside it.
[HD2 Accessories] bym007:
You are far too creative! I hate you!!

lol

Btw, if you get a chance, drop some pictures of this project! Caio
[HD2 Accessories] D.O.C:
alright, I got my swiss bank wallet with PDA holder on it today, I must say it is definetively made for a iphone seized pda BUT, the HD2 fit perfectly, no protruding on sides or on top, it holds the hd2 very thightly, 4 cards (bank platified cards) and 4 big bills (euros, and I mean big cause they are bigger in size than dollars). It closes thight and only doubles thickness size the hd2... I just did my first shopping and did not have any problems taking cards out. I must say though, you will only be able to fit about 4 cards (only ver essencial ones) and some bills. Now I only need someone to call me when I am out on the street to tell you if you can easily take out the hd2 to answer the call... Bad thing it took about 2 weeks for the wallet to arrive, I think it was fault of customs importorting taxes. Anyway, I think I will try it for some days (at work) and post an update soon. Happy searching.

For those who wants to use Russian and English standard keyboard (both hardware and software) with non-Russian ROMs, I have extracted files from Russian ROM and put them in one cab file.

Just install the cab and you will get your standard SIP with Rus/Eng languages and Rus/Eng hw keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MiNTRiXZ:
Thanks! Can you extract from official 6.5 rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cBorisa:
It is from original WM6.5 Russian ROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MiNTRiXZ:
Кстати, почему то когда в xt9 набираешь текст, когда он подстанавливает примерное слово то отображается то, что ты набираешь. То есть, в поле где вводится текст примерно не правильный набранный, а в полоске с выбором слов выберается другое. Можно исправить?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Oowashi:
I hope nobody has any objections against me writing in Russian.

Спасибо за релиз, но я для страховки переспрошу:

у меня немецкий телефон, со спецбуквами типа ÜÄÖ, потеряю ли я их, если установлю этот релиз?

Есть риск хардрезета?

Edit: It works! Just gave it a try. One question: is there any possibility to keep the virtual russian keyboard AND my german hw keyboard layout?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] S.V.I:
wow!!! finally I get to make an addon for my keyboard!!! this makes me giddy. thanks!! by the way, will this work with the font, or does it change the font??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] S.V.I:
I'm working on it already. trying to make a language pack that is not device dependant. already on the second version. ;)

Problem solved:

attached is the language pack that will not affect the hardware keyboard no matter what the layout is. in fact you can have two languages simultaneously.

This should not affect any hardware settings for any device; but you only have the option of two languages unless you edit the reg setting:

[HKLM]Tegic/eT9/

Available languages: 0119,0109,XXXX (etc)

the more languages you add, the more you have to choose from.

(tested on the TMOUS Rhodium and did not screw up my hardware layout no matter the language setting; should also work for wwe roms as well.)

I have to say, it is slower than the optimised skin I made for the original keyboard... I might just have to spend another 3 days messing with this one :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cBorisa:
Well, basically it switches Keyboard layout to English/Russia. Try this cab - i modified registry values and replaced all references to English with German. However, I'm not sure it's goanna work, so please make sure you have a backup of your data before you do it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Oowashi:
@S.V.I

Awesome news, looking forward to your release.

@cBorisa

Thank you very much, i will give it a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cBorisa:
Actually this version is Device "independent" - it will change the hardware keyboard layout to Russian/Eng (if you the device uses standard hardware driver), and eZinput will be switched to Eng/Rus. I checked it with Rhodium and Xperia - works great. If you don't have eZinput installed, it won't do anything
