Questions like that are best searched for over in the Themes and Apps section. ;)

The 2 most widely-used solutions for doing a full-system backup for your TP2 are SPB Backup and Sprite Backup.

Yes you can lock my thread. Its fine. I found my solution, seems like you guys are very annoyed when a simple question asked. Good luck to you all. There is no need for this thread anymore.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] F2504x4:
those that just say SEARCH, why not give the info and then suggest to search..or do you just feel a over whelming need to jump on newbies cause they cannot find what they are looking for ? come on just post the info :rolleyes:, this will help in the search results..

For ease of search...

and just a simple answer for those that come across this thread in a search result.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
I am with kimtyson on this one.

What's wrong with Google? If you put "xda" with your search it searches this site very successfully
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
The problem is not about helping users. It is about letting XDA become so junked up with multiple threads about the same thing because people are too (fill in the blank) to search. Can you imagine how bad it would be if everyone who had a question just started a new thread.

In addition, if you people would read the forum rules you would be informed that searching is the first thing you do before posting. That includes in a thread or starting a new thread.

As long as "helpful" people reply to the (fill in the blank) people that ask without searching, and give them the answer, we will never have control of XDA. It just gets more and more bloated and junked up. Sorry if you don't see that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] F2504x4:
ahhh how quickly one forgets their days as a newbie :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
And your point is???

Notice in my quote I said I did a search first. Not so for this thread or he would have found his answer very easily, as you did. I know you guys hate it because I'm right. Just deal with it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] F2504x4:
is this the only way you can make yourself feel good by not being helpful ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
You really don't get it, do you?

Now that you have totally hijacked this putrid thread I am going to suggest that you take this off line. If you want to fight just PM me.

Go see a Shrink!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
EXACTLY ! Kimtyson, you got it on the head

I'd like to add that if these people can't be bothered to spend a little time do a simple thing like search for the answer to their own question then why should anyone else put any effort in ?

At one point there seemed to be a new thread almost everyday asking "My RAM is at x%". What does that achieve apart from pushing legitimate questions off the bottom of the page so people with real problems are less likely to get help ?

I think there should be a 24hr posting ban for anyone starting a thread who blatantly hasn't spent any of their own time trying to sort it out. The forums rules do state you have to search first and maybe by enforcing this we could streamline things a bit.

I don't get it. HSDPA has stopped working on my HD2. It was fine over a week ago but recently is seems to either go 3G or EDGE which is very annoying. It just doesn't seem to want to pick up HSDPA. I tried calling my network provider and they said nothing had changed on their end so I did a network settings reset on my phone but still no luck. Anyone else have or had this problem?

Am using the following rom: Artemis_v28_WWE_202_23518
[HD2 General] Revo-:
I got the same problem. I've been searching on the forum for 2 days now to find an answer, or even someone with the same problem at least, which i found now. I'm a little bit happy i'm not the only one :o

Let's hope someone will notice this and help us
[HD2 General] Lukasss:
Had the same issue, but I noticed that the Band setting was on GSM instead of on Auto.

Try this:

Go into your dialer, click Menu, then Settings. All the way down you'll find Band, click that. Make sure both settings are on 'Auto'.

Maybe that's the issue with your phones as well.

[HD2 General] Revo-:
Thanks for your help Lukas, but unfortunately that's not it.

I checked and both band settings are on Auto.

Any other suggestions? :(
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Well finally I have received my hd2. So far truly impressed and its very fast although I will have to get used to using it (from my x1) and will have to set it up so its exactly how I like it... The screen is amazing, so big and clear and excellent... The capacative screen is not as hard or as unwieldy as I thought it might be...

OS details are - Rom 1.66.76641, Radio 2.06.51.07 and then the letter G 15.34.50.07U (not sure what G means :o )

I got the phone on a vodafone plan (£40 a mth, 300mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet) and it cost me around £11 for the handset (reasons for this to follow). I bought the hd2 through dial a phone... or dial a phoney as they should be called, and had a hell of a time getting it delivered. Called 04 Feb 10 to order the phone and was told that it would be with me by Mon... monday came and an email arrived saying delivery postponed... fair enough I thought at least they told me... tuesday arrived and again the email came saying delivery postponed... so I called and asked if there was a problem. The chappie on the phone told me the credit thing from vodafone hadnt gone through but he called and confirmed all was ok (it was) and then told me the phone would be with me the next day.... wednesday arrived and another postponed email arrived too... so I called them again and asked what the problem was, nothing they told me... stock ok, credit cleared and all go so I would definitely have the phone the next day... thursday arrived and another email... at this stage I was fuming... so I called first thing in the morning and told them if they didnt get it to me the next day its all over, they told me that the credit thing hadnt worked properly as they were having trouble with their computers or some such and that the phone would be with me first thing friday... so I called again later that afternoon to confirm it was going out and they said yes... friday... you guessed it no phone and a phone call to dial a phoney confirmed that they had no stock, hadnt for a week or so and that they were expecting some in that afternoon and they would send mine out as a matter of urgency... I called again that afternoon to confirm the stock had arrived and they told me it had and was going out and would be with me the following monday... and thats today and it is...!!! yay for getting the phone but booo for such rubbish service and blatant lying... if they had just told me the stock was not in I would have waited a few days but to tell me all the fables they did was just hokum... sure they gave me a recommend a friend discount and £6.50 towards apps but appalling service did not make it a pleasant experience...

Anyhow I have my new baby now and am taking it for a spin... so far loving it...!!!

*edit* and best yet is its fully unlocked for any network, got my o2 sim in there and not a problem... wooohoooo
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Congratulations. Hope you enjoy your device.

Word or two of advice; take the time to get to know the device first, especially mastering the keyboard. Once you know it well then take the next step which is tweaking it to what you want.

The step before tweaking is to read, read and read again. There are some excellent threads on here to help you out, e.g. the Hints & Tips thread. Searching on XDA can be a bit of a pain so use this...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://xdaforums.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all to help you out.

Once again congratulations. Enjoy. :)

[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Thanks WB... I have been playing with it non stop for the last 2 hours and am really surprised at how easy the typing is... I was expecting it to be more difficult... but I havent used CE Star yet so we shall see... thanks for the pointers... reading is all I have been doing the last couple of weeks and loving xda once again for the wealth of info here... Cheers..
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Ok so after playing for a while I am loving it, very fast and very responsive, and once you get used to the typing its easy and fairly fast... so much better than I expected... screen is awesome for reading and watching movies... clear and bright... I am still getting used to all the new menu systems and so forth, finding my way round the settings and now starting to install all the programs I use and need... also starting to use the bsb tweak...

My only bugbear at the moment is that I cant seem to get ce star working properly, but after some searching on here it seems that I may need to install several times for it to finally work...
[HD2 General] enyaj:
congrats to your new toy!
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
I had issues getting it from Dial-A-Phone too - delivery right near Christmas was hit and miss but it arrived on Crimbo Eve!! Mine was also SIM free on ROM 1.48 out the box...

Since then, I've loved every minute and currently using Dutty's HG v08 ROM - I'd recommend this ROM to anyone as it's near stock but fast as hell!! You can find it HERE (you have to register on HTCpedia to get it but it's worth it!!). You also need to install HSPL to get it on but it's worth it!!

Read THIS before you do any flashing just so you know what's what...

Have fun!!
[General Questions and Answers] az19scores:
I own a Sprint Mogul and I've been trying to flash it to the newer WM6.5.3 or WM6.5.5 from Ryan Mogul's 6.5, but when I do, I can't get on to the Internet. It connects and gives me an IP address but apps that connect to the Internet don't connect and Internet Explorer displays the error 404 webpage. I made sure both options in connections were switched to work network, I use a server-assigned IP address, I've refreshed the server a thousand times, I've used 3 different ROMs, but nothing worked...except when I reinstall my old ROM and then it works like a charm. I've never actually studied hows these are made, but is there a possibility that different ROMs use different radios or something, and if so, is there a way to take the radio software from one nd use it in another?

Is it possible that there's a manufacturing defect in some of the glass over the screens?

I've seen many videos of people taking keys, scissors and other various sharp instruments to their screens and having them show no damage - yet my screen which has been babied since day 1 (literally, in the case except for when in use, never put in pocket with keys, screen protector installed within a couple weeks of purchase, never dropped) seems to have many surface scratches in it.

I realize it would be exceptionally difficult to prove that I haven't somehow abused the screen, but is there any chance that I have a shot of getting a new phone with a warranty claim?

I'd appreciate any advice, or similar issues people are seeing.
[Nexus One General] Android Touch:
When you realized scratches on the screen where you holding it up against light?
[Nexus One General] aob:
Yes, they only show if the screen is off and generally at an ideal angle. Is the thought that it's dust as opposed to scratches?
[Nexus One General] dahui9:
thats just the touch screen input and such if the lines run diagonally, and if you see dots those are also part of the touch screen. I thought that also when I held it up in the light the first time

Dont know the cost just yet i sent it out they havent recieved it yet

Yes, I was booting up the latest CM and it got stuck at the blue X. I removed the battery and when i put it back in and tried to power it on it went from Green to Orange. It just keeps cycling through the flashes. Nothing helps... I think I might throw it in a lake and just pay the warranty fee if it is less than a repair...

[Android Software Development] mightyiam:
adb server takes a long time to start (~3 minutes!)(was "adb no output & not ending")

Problem with adb here. It doesn't end. 'adb devices' or 'adb shell' or 'adb start-server' or whatever except for 'adb' and 'adb --help' just don't end. They give out a newline or two and don't take any cpu, they seem to wait on inet_wait_for_connect and the files they have open are /dev/pts/2 and localhost port 5037. Does this make sense to anyone? I've got:

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4",ATTR{idProduct}=="0c02",SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4",ATTR{idProduct}=="0c01",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"

But the files /dev/sdb and /dev/sg2 created for device are:

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2010-02-15 18:11 /dev/sdb
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 2 2010-02-15 18:11 /dev/sg2

Even if I change these files to 0777 it doesn't work.

Anyone any ideas?

Note that I remember once it worked. One time. I'm not sure what did it.

Wow this looks like a deal for a nice looking case with a screen protector. I usually hate cases but this doesn't look half bad. When people test some of these out, I'd like to know how much bulkier it feels, and how slippery the touchscreen is. I don't tend to like the plasticy screen protectors, I'm more a fan of the rubbery ones. I think sweaty fingers slide easier on them.

Come on, do you really need to check your email while fishing or hunting? GPS is the only reason I could see to have it, but if you spend as much time outside as you say you do, don't you already have a portable GPS unit?

A) i dont have a junk phone to swap to as i just switched to sprint in nov.

B) i frequently use the google maps and gps function on the phone when i am in my kayak to determine which cut i should go down when exploring new areas.

C) yes i do have a seperate gps BUT it does not have the mapping capabilities.

D) i also use the pdf viewer sometimes to check on boundaries and regulations to the particular area i'm in.

On a side note i was in my kayak about two weeks ago just drifting with the wind browsing this site when my oakleys fell off my head and into the water on the same side. Not really thinking i reached down with the hand holding my phone and grabbed my glasses. Basically the lower third ( up to rigt above the keys) got submerged. I opened up the cheap $10 hard case it was riding in, powered off the phone and pulled the battery. I put the heater in my truck on high on the way home and dried out my hero and all is now well :)

Sorry about starting a new thread but i couldn't find anything re my question i'm about to ask...

I own the HTC HD2 and have put the 1.66 rom on my phone, great everything is working great, however after alot of arguing with Vodafone they have now accepted to replace my phone with a new one..

Now here's the issue i need to find the original Software for my phone:

ROM: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE

ROM Date: 10/26/09

I've been onto HTC website and can't find it there so any help please would be great, if at all possible could you provide a link rather than having to look for it?

If i was to do a master reset would that put it back to the original?

I'm panicking as Vodafone have said my new phone will be here in 2 days... And if i don't put they phone back to the original then they won't replace it, i only put the 1.66 as i thought i wasn't going to get this sorted... Patience is a wonderfull thing and so is Heinsite...
