[myTouch 3G, Magic General] setzer715:
Well, if T-Mobile were to announce a possible better MT3G is coming 6 months from now, that would just be poor marketing. They would not have sold any of the originals. NO one would do that. The fact is, T-Mobile sold you the best, most advanced Android phone available at the time they released it. Complaining about an upgraded version 6+ months later seems, well, just childesh. EVERY phone EVER sold will be out done within 6 months! I'm sorry, I'm not trying to bash, but its like buying a laptop with top of the line everything and then the company releases the same laptop with faster processor, more ram, blu-ray, better vid card 6 months later at the same price and being mad about it, which happens all the time. Its just how it is with technology. 6 months from now T-Mobile will probably release a new Android phone that puts the new MT3G to shame at the same price.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BoomBoomPOW:
That's what I feel...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] visitador02:
Not really. There has always been a 32A and 32B since the beginning. Didn't Rogers released the 32A in Canada at around the same time that t-Mobile released the first MyTouch? T-Mobile decided to go the 32B route. Don't know why. Maybe it was cheaper. I don't know if the 32A was the most advance phone at that time, but it certainly has more Ram than the 32B.

Actually I don't even know why HTC decided to do the 32B, short of it being cheaper for the carriers to buy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] setzer715:
Oh, I'll rephrase, it was the most advanced Android phone sold in the USA. As for why T-Mobile, and various other carries around the world, got the 32B board instead is beyond me. Could have been origional production boards and when HTC started messing with roms they decided they needed more RAM. T-Mobile kept what they had so they would not delay release of it. That would be my assumption. Lastly, T-Mobile released before anyone else. I think by only a month, but they did.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
But still, most Android phones, or phones in general have leaked information all over, and there are those that slip right underneath us. The only leaked information I remember about the enhanced MT3G, with the original colors, is the eBay auction it had a week or two before T-Mobile posted up the phone on their website. I would've at least liked the hinting that a better MT3G was coming out, just to build up hype, like Verizon with the Droid.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] r3s-rt:
Ditto. That's t-mobile for you. However, from what I hear, no one can get a fender to get r00ted. I always seem to hear that they can get touch screen working. On top of that, I don't think most devs are going to pay close attention to r00t them. I'm sure they're working on fixing the touch screen issue, but as a secondary project.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
You can't blame HTC. They manufacture phones for people like T-Mobile. T-Mobile is the one that purchased a mass amount of these phones to sell to people like us. They probably paid a few bucks less per unit for lower specs to save money. If you bought it with your wireless carier, you should blame your carier. If YOU complain to T-Mobile enough, they will eventualy listen. The problem is, people will still buy from them, and as long as they are not hurting, it will continue. Stop signing contracts. If you are a month to month customer, they are afraid of losing you. Be a smart buyer. Stop taking the easy way out and be resposible for yourself and read the fine print. Contract=gauranteed money for the carier. Past that point you have lost the fight. Stop crying about getting the shaft, dig your way out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] setzer715:
The Fender has actually been rooted with a working root rom. I just did it to a co-workers phone. The problem with the new MT3G and Fender is that the phone has a hybrid mix main board. So, 32A board and RAM with 32B radio (for TMO USA) and now has the headphone jack so ALL of the drivers are different now. Oh, and the Kernal is completely different now.

Back to the topic, yeah, maybe you got jipped because you could have waited 8 months for a better version of the phone had T-Mobile announced they were going to release a better one, but, seriously would you have actually waited more than half a year? Its T-Mobile's nature not to announce phones until they are a reality. They dont like leaked information because then the consumer starts thinking they can get this when in fact T-Mobile drops the project because it just doesn't work for them. In fact, they probably weren't even planing on a new MT3G but then decided to go for it to keep everyone at bay until they can release a whole new Android phone. Again, just smart business.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
I didn't actually get my MT3G until about October, but the thing is, there was no hints at all about this new phone, it just dropped out of the sky. If I knew there was even a rumor about a better one coming out I could've waited.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ceas909:
i felt cheated!... so i emailed tmobile a long ass letter.. they called me back 2 days later and after some talking i got the new MT3G 1.2 at full discount price and didnt have to renew my contract....

@setzer715 you said u rooted the fender for a co worker... i want to root mine as soon as possible simply for internet tether, and in the future for custom roms... do u think i should hold off till further roms are developed?? or go for it??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
What email address did you use to contact T-Mobile ceas909?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drumkid:
i second this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ceas909:
ExecutiveResponse at t-mobile dot com... hope this helps..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
Another question, did you get to keep your old MT3G? or did you have you just pay for the new one and that was it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ceas909:
keeping it... imma sell it and make my money back and + sum :D .. i cant wait should get it tommorow... and the coo thing is i told tmo i had bought 3 mytouch 3g's, so they offered me all 3 at 149.99.. so imma call back and get the other two!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] loefflerm:
how did you do that? i would love to do this with mine as know i cant get it to read from the sd card SO YES I FELL LIKE I GOT JIPPED
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
:eek: Very nice. Since I bought mine unsubsidized I hope T-Mobile will let me swap mine out or something, because I'm still paying off my old one in increments.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
Well, T-Mobile just called me yesterday and they told me that they don't decide what hardware goes on the devices they release and HTC decided it. So, what do you guys think, is it HTC's fault, or is T-Mobile just trying to point the finger at someone else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] majoraccent:
I tried emailing them as well. We have 5 lines on the plan and have been customers since the Voicestream days. I just got a call back offering a $40 discount from the unsubsidized price ($399-$40), and a bit of info that they are now allowing a phone upgrade (with another contract extension) 12 months into the contract rather than the previous 22, so I'll be waiting half a year it seems. There will probably be better phones out by then anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] :
ehh, we did our research before buying, knowing that soon enough they would get outdated and that came a little sooner than we wanted.
[HD2 General] Piemole:
Hey guys

Does anyone know ehere I can get hold of the original Telstra Radio (ver 2.05.51.11), I have looked around xda but can't seem to find this exact one.

The reason I want this particular one is that I am having some battery drain issues and I want to flash back in order to make fault finding a bit easier.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] Piemole:
nobody? really?
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Do the mtty trick... better than flashing to stock. But if you insist:

[HD2 General] Piemole:
Thanks for the Radio mate

BTW whats the mtty trick?
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Not a trick rather a long drawn out process! See the ROM forum sticky if you want to give it a shot.

But I think I spoke too soon. You're having battery drain issues... I think just flashing different radios / ROMs should fix it until you find an optimal combo.
[HD2 General] Piemole:
Not sure it is the Radio yet.

I have tried 3 different ones but bat drain is still what I would call excessive. (15 mins of browsing kills around 40 to 50 percent of the battery)

The drain is mainly while browsing, whether i am using WiFi or the gprs connection.

Thought I would do the radio first as it is the easiest to change and I have established it isn't the ROM as it has been the same on 3 different ones.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Holy crap, that is huge! Maybe you have a bad battery? Is it OK otherwise?

For some reason, my google maps position on the phone thinks im in Espoo Finland?! This constantly is happening. My weather widget tells me some random weather from that place too! and then it updates my latitude so my friends think im crazy!

Anyone have any ideas? Sometimes when i click my location in maps, it shows me where I really am, but still says Espoo.

PS, its been duin this for a while with a couple flashes, and different phones.

Okay, so I tried to delete some old Nandroid backups and I think i deleted Nandroid, so it won't restore. How do I get my backup to restore?

If that doesn't work, I'm running the AOSP 1.6 with googlebits.. And I need to know where I can get the Sprint Visual Voicemail app?

And Finally, is there any fixes for Getting SMS to work? i can receive messages, but can't send.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smittycg:
restore with one of your backups using fresh kitchen
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duscrom:
Will that work even though I'd be restoreing to Stock rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_ag:
If by "deleted Nandroid" you mean you can't boot into recovery, try reflashing your Amon RA image again to your phone. (Go to the sticki wiki guide section for that).

Google the Visual Voicemail app, I don't know exactly were I found it because it was a long time ago but I did found it on the net.

Try removing the +1 from the contacts you are trying to send sms texts to.. use the 123-456-7890 format to send out text messages, if not try handcent or chomp SMS. If none works, than there's not muche else you can do, this is a known unfixable problem for some people using AOSP 1.6.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeroMeng:
I would say do what he said. Here's a simple guide to reflash RA:

Copy the image to the SD, rename it recovery.img (makes it easier). Navigate to SDK/Tools dir and do these commands:

adb shell
#cd /sdcard
#flash_image recovery recovery.img
#reboot recovery

If that doesn't work, RUU will fix it.

I own a Gene now showing a weird problem, if i connect the charger then it the full charge green led will glow after sometime, but lose charge very fast. There is no problem if i used usb cable for charging. Is this a problem of charger or the charging port. The phone some times restarts when charged using charger.

hi

danish im also having this problem from some time so what i did is that i kept battery out of of phone for a day & then charged it through usb after that use its whole charge & when phone gets off then do the calibration process i think this problem arises due to countinous flashing of roms so dont flash device till its 100% charged
[P3400 General] Jeringeorge:
hey sam.

Did this procedure solved ur problems? Is it working fine now?

Anyway to sync thru usb to get data? Similar to active sync
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sd73ta:
try google sync in my signature. I know thats not usb but it will get you your contacts calendar etc..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] reukiodo:
USB

I'm also having issues with the USB connection.

Sometimes windows will recognize the USB connection, and it installs ADB drivers from google, but the adb.exe won't recognize it as an attached device.

Mount SD also doesn't work, but I think that's understandable, since Android is running from SD.

Has anyone done some work on running android from the internal flash? I imagine that's quite a bit more work involved...

Personally, I'd be happy getting ADB to work.

[General Questions and Answers] Borteeo:
I'm running an HTC Fuze on the Bell HSPA network here in western Canada.

It's completely unlocked, and I have tried a few different ROMs on it.

I have used the December version of the Energy "Leo" ROM,

Da_G's test ROM

and Captain's Special (current)

The Energy and Cpt's both use SenseUI, which I prefer, but when using those ROMs my phone's caller ID behaves oddly; it always inserts a "+1" before every number, despite the caller being local to me. Also, with Energy ROM the phone would give me a roaming warning when I dialed out. I didn't have these issues with Da_G's vanilla WM6.5 test ROM.

I'm having trouble figuring out what would cause this; I've been doing searches for about a month and a half but I haven't turned up anything.

Could somebody give me a hint?

And for bonus points, could you direct me to a resource that would tell me how to run unsigned .cabs, as I'm having trouble getting a fix for the tachi canvas scrollbar thing to install.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Borteeo:
I flashed back to the latest Da_G test ROM and now the incoming caller ID is showing local numbers as long distance on that, as well. I tried changing the CallIDMatch value in the registry from 8 to 7 but the problem persists. I wish I had an idea of where I should be looking to resolve the problem :(

Are you mental ?!

Do you have any idea what GPS is ?

Please !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I am not mental, but GPS is global positioning system. it uses satellites to track your devices location, but it still has to send that information to you.

I should be more clear...GPS can be accessed w/out data, but that doesn't do any good. You need programs like google maps etc which download the map onto ur phone. Thats great you can see your lattitude longitude but it doesn't do anything for you unless you are a damn navigator for a cruise ship.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
OMG !!

Have you ever heard of Google ?!

It works like a radio, the data is sent by a number of satellites. The receiver picks up the data and triangulates your position.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System#Basic_concept_of_GPS

The maps don't have to come via a mobile data connection, they can be stored on your device. You know - SatNav !

Satnav....no thanks:

"Woman runs for her life after satnav leads her into path of a train". ... "BMW left teetering on 100ft cliff edge after sat-nav directs driver up steep"

needless to say you need to purchase most programs that will have the maps on ur phone.

SatNav is like Google maps for people who want to drive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Easy there super chief!! :mad:

Some GPS-enabled apps do indeed require a data connection to communicate with servers in addition to the satellite-sourced signal they receive. If the esteemed Mr Snow here hadn't ever used any apps that don't require this, it's not a grand leap of logic for him to have the impression that it's always necessary. An incorrect impression to be sure, but still not as jaw-dropping as you imply.
