[HD2 General] ooFunk:
Yes i am on UK VF....

Thanks a lot for the link, downloading it now.. I thought i could get any update as it would let the Orange Sim work. Does that not mean its unlocked??

Thanks again for the quick response!!

Funk
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
It's SIM unlocked but HTC/VF have vendor locked it - basically you have to wait for VF to release the ROM to get it (unless you go down the HSPL route)...In was lucky enough to get my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone completely generic so I can get all updates from HTC direct
[HD2 General] ooFunk:
Ah ok, that clears that up for me thanks...

Cant see why Manufacturers bother if the sim is unlocked?? but at least they have released the latest.

I'm prepaird to do anything i can to resolve this Data problem !!

This problem has Anny Vododafone Netherlands, Movistar Belgium, Movistar Spain user effected.

The status bar shows the 3G icon but when you tray to go to the browser, Googlemaps etc.. you see an data connection problem popup..

(gprs,3g,HSPDA) with Vodafone NL.(also the Belgium Movistar and Spain movistar cant use data connection.

The only time 3G worked was couple of months ago, with one of TuxHero's builds by entering the apn manually in the startup.txt..

Can some one give ma any idea where to start debugging or some thing like that to see where the problem occurs. with ADP ?

I hope that we can fix this.

Sorry for my bad English

Edit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=641021 there is a working version of android with 3G!! :) So finally we can use data.

Hi I've got the same problem. I am also on the Vodafone NL network. Maybe you should check or try this site: http://pjottrr.no-ip.org:81/redmine/issues/show/43#change-241

However there does not seem to be much activity regarding this bug. Hopefully there is going to be a solution soon. This bug is stopping me from using android for day to day use :(

Hopefully this helps a bit.

If someone can help with give an kick-start bij explaining how to get the radio log for debugging that will be very helping step.

Thanks.

hi men.

3g is already working with the espresso distro. I just tried it and browsing is very fast.

you people on other operators with the same probem should give it a try...

[Touch HD Android Development] twanj:
Hm maybe i am doing something wrong. Android is working, however no 3g on vodafone nl. The 3g symbol does appear, but i get data transfer :(

Can somebody help me out? I am using the htc-msm-android@20100310_191416 build with the stuff provided in the espresso topic.

Thanx in advance!!

What zimage+modules, Winmo rom are you using? Default (cleared) rom settings? Working for Vodafone or just Belgium?

Still doesnt work for me..

I was wondering if there is any possibility of bricking n1... If there is, then what actually causes it.... i wanted to know so that i can keep myself from making the mistake....
[Nexus One General] mgymnop:
Putting your N1 in your back pocket and sit on it;-) But which idiot is putting his phone in the back pocket? Nobody who lives in a city at least...pickpocket?
[Nexus One General] david1171:
yank the battery during an spl/radio flash/write. flash a radio/spl not meant for your device.

.....and my personal favorite way, drop a cylinder block on it.
[Nexus One General] th3fallen:
Your forgetting the tried and trusted..... Microwave :p
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
also if you get on a pool/beach without setting it up to airplane mode. If you receive a call and you have it under water it will get bricked..:D

(flashing SPL)
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
People like you keep me interested in visiting threads ;) :D....

So the only known way to brick ur phone is by disturbing the phone when flashing SPL/Radio..... just wondering, is the latest radio fix included in Cyanogen's ROM 5.0.4....
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
I don't think flashing radio will brick it, I think is only by flashing SPL. ( correct me if I'm wrong)
[Nexus One General] maxh:
Grind it up into a fine powder with a Blendtec blender, mix with shale, clay, water, and barium carbonate, shape into a rectangular prism and fire until hard and dry.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
your wrong. flashing the radio incorrectly is the fastest way to brick the device.
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Brick

We have no DangerSPL/Haykuro's SPL on our Nexus one
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
throw it in a frying pan with some fresh bacon?
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
Lol, I love the blend tech videos. Not exactly bricking it though.
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Precisely why that doesn't apply to the N1. The SPL can be unlocked without the need to flash a modified SPL.

Pull the battery or interrupt a radio flash and you are headed for brick town quickly.
[Hero CDMA General] ro_bro:
I just saw this keyboard mentioned as a good keyboard for an HTPC. But I'm wondering if anyone believes it will work with an android phone w/o a physical keyboard, like the Hero

http://www.tomtop.com/24g-wireless-mini-keyboard-with-touchpad-black-c709b_p10332.html

It connects via wireless 2.4g, and it does support linux:

System requirement:

-Windows 2000

-Windows XP

-Windows Vista ,windows CE,windows 7

-Linux(Debian-3.1,Redhat-9.0 Ubuntu-8.10 Fedora-7.0 tested)

Just an out-of-the-box idea, or fantasy, whatever you wanna call it.

I did not mean for the original title to be dirogitory i simply ment to make it as clear as posible it fixes many problems that we have had in that rom i dont want somone applying it to another 2.1 rom that it doesnt work for and coming back and saying ruler why wernt you more clear...

this was all posted (in one post) by rank78 i reposted so i could make a wiki page out of it (the fix finds were descovered by multilple people if you want your name up here pm me and il put it up)

[Hero CDMA General] josue85:
Great info, but can you edit the title of the post? It seems a bit harsh to flipz. All these guys deserve the utmost respect for doing these ROMs and not asking for much from us.

Just my 2 cents, thanks again.
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
wow people are sensitive. he's not bashing flipz...
[Hero CDMA General] Ska8erMush:

[Hero CDMA General] Kykiskly:

Thanks Rolermon,

Quick question, would the MMS fix work for the 2.1 Darchdroid? Also, when you said step 5. update carriers set mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER' where name='Production'; -----------are we to changing the MDN=************ for something on our end, or do we leave it as it is?

Edit---------Another question on the QUICKBOOT FIX - WORKS--------

Where do I find the reboot file that I need to push to /system/bin?
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:

Thanks Rank- How do I get the 11 MDN number from my phone?
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
its just 1, area code, phone number = 11 :p
[Hero CDMA General] sdrewh:
I believe it is your phone number 1-234-567-8901 that is 11
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
fyi the quickboot fix is for the program quickboot that wasn't functioning after flashing the rom.

the reboot file is zipped in my post
[Hero CDMA General] Kykiskly:
Many thanks, but I was able to push the file to the destination. About the MMS, i did as instructed, still didn't help at all. I am not able to mms pics out either. :(

I am on Darchdroid V1 2.1
[Hero CDMA General] ripleys:
You guys probably know a lot more about this than I do, but shouldn't the MMS link be:

http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS?X-SPRINT-MDN="Your MSID Number" ?

on my hero, i just put in:

http: //mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS

and it worked.
[Hero CDMA General] Mistamike17:
There still needs to be appropriate quit and .quit statements added in to get out of sqlite3 and shell.
[Hero CDMA General] Kykiskly:
What do you mean by "http: //mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS"? Didn't you complete the sentence with the MDN=-----------------?
[Hero CDMA General] Mistamike17:
No, supposedly both work. The MDN version works all the time and the MMS version works some of the time.
[Hero CDMA General] Kykiskly:
Ok but after that statement, what goes after, cuz since we are in the sqlite3 telephony.db, we cant adb reboot from there. What is the command to close/save the statement. I tried .quit, exit, adb reboot and no success.

how do we know that by doing the above statements the change took effect?

1) update carriers set mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=1+area code + cell #' where name='Production'; *1+area code + cell '*

2)http: //mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/MMS

When I start my Sprint Hero, I get an error right away saying:

The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close (button)

I cannot receive any text messages. I have tried the fix and rebooted and still same error. I'm still pretty new to this, so any help would be much appreciated. Talking slow would help, too. :o
[Desire General] SGTDavePwnage:
Just letting everyone know that having questioned mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they have confirmed that the only Desires they are shipping are Silver/Graphite.

I have asked them to change the website to advise of this and to email all customers who have pre-ordered already.

They are not getting any Brown ones.

Not sure i want a silver one :(
[Desire General] GordonTGopher:
Just a heads up, MPD will not deal with any customer service issue after you've taken delivery, they refer you to HTC. I had problems within a week and they wouldn't help me.

Caveat Emptor ;)

Gordon
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
Really! I've never even seen or heard of a silver/graphite model. If this is true they'll get a fair few cancellations.
[Desire General] zomig:
i can second this, after sales are truly rubbish, had an issue with my TP2 when I brought. Only had 10 days and they would not deal with me. Won't buy from these again soley based on there after sales.
[Desire General] cpam:
Silver/Graphite doesn’t look so bad :confused:? I’m getting one in few weeks.
[Desire General] SGTDavePwnage:
I called mobilephonesdirect again today and they don't seem to know what's going on.

They advise that they are getting Graphite devices, but searching on-line the only colours I can find are brown or silver.

One of their staff said it would be the silver one and now another has said it is the brown

I did raise my concerns and they advised that if the phone I receive is not the one shown in the picture on their website then I can return it
[Desire General] zomig:
Good luck with getting that to happen :)
[Desire General] badgerz:
hmm I have pre-ordered from MPD also and am not that hot on getting a silver one.

edit: looks like MPD are now confirming they are selling brown.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
This Dutch website also offers both the Brown/Silver version:

http://www.pdashop.nl/product/91189/htc-desire-silver.html

IMO, brown > Silver.
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
Just received a mail from them that contradicts this. I asked them specifically if they were selling the brown which was the one used on their website, and they said...

"The handset we have depicted on our website is in fact the Brown but we will be selling the Graphite"
[Desire General] clubbtraxx:
"graphite vs Silver" Debate

Guys,

I don't know about you all, but my definition of the colour 'Graphite' is more like a dark charcoal kind of colour instead of something that looks silver/grayish...

HTC itself only defines Silver & Brown (which is same as the hero and that is definetly more black-ish than silver-ish...)

Thus, the 'Graphite' simply must be the 'brown' version in my humble opinion.

CT
[Desire General] zaphyr:
omg! I didn't think about this at all! I ordered mine from tre.se, and the confirmation says it's grey! I'm kinda disappointed. The picture on the website is brown, and you never get to choose colour during the ordering process :mad:

You have to go all the way in to the full specifications to see the colour.

Well, I'll get used to the grey one I guess....
[Desire General] tibey:
Apparently there is also a "black" version at amazon :

http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375513&pf_rd_i=405320

prefer the original color scheme..
[Desire General] foyrtcw:
This is my opinion too. The supposedly "brown" version doesn't look remotely brown either in any photo. All very confusing. How difficult can it be to choose a phone's colour name based on it's actual colour? I've pre-ordered from MPD and am not too keen on the silver version so hopefully I'm correct in thinking I'll get the one pictured.
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
Why don't you ring them to clarify?
[Desire General] foyrtcw:
Other people have and it doesn't sound like they know themselves. If sent the silver I'd settle for it. If I was buying the phone for it's looks I'd go for the Legend.
[Desire General] fowler002:
I'm thinking about getting one from mpd, was looking getting the payg on vodafone rather than the simfree(~£50 difference). anyone know if it'll be unlocked or not? I recently got the o2 £15/month simplicity for smart phones 12month so not looking at a new contract.

carphone warehouse and it's affilate websites(mobiles.co.uk, e2save etc) sell unlocked handsets, be it on contract or payg. so I was wondering if mpd do the same thing, some one on the ocuk forums said that they emailed asking if the phone was unlocked, but it was regarding the ones on contract so not 100% sure about the payg one.

I am a bit sceptical buying from mpd reading some of the comments on here plus reviews on them from customers on another websit(can't remember the name of the site off the top of my head). have a store like 6miles from me so hopefully they'll be more helpful then the call centre.
[Desire General] setspeed:
I think that picture is an old render from before the final design was decided on. Hence the non-standard colour, and different buttons/optical trackpad.

I don't think a black model exists.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
I wouldn't worry.

The default "brown" looks great under normal light, but once you go outside and the sun beams down, the blimming phone looks a salmony pinky colour. I kid you not. My phone turns gay in the sun!!! lol
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I cancelled my order from this site after reading a forum with complaints as long as your arm, loads had sent there phones back with issues and took up to 1 month to get them sorted, it seems they have very very bad after sales and i thought its not worth the hassle.
[Desire General] leoni1980:
Graphite is brown, brown is graphite. The one shipping from Mobile Phones direct will be the same as T Mobile users are getting. The confusion I believe comes from suppliers arbitrarily describing the phones pre-release based on photos as HTC only provide a material number and don't actually describe the colour anywhere. Only certain networks will have the silver model: I think I was told either Germany or France.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Parden if this is posted somewhere else. But this needs some serious attention. As of current, I realize the 3G issues is a design flaw. So this means all N1s have this problem. You can test it for your self. The easy way to fix this would be to have stronger 3G coverage but thats not the case. Let me quote whats been said at droidstory.com and the nexus forums..

.. read more here and here

The question. What is Google waiting on to say something? to do something?? its enough that we also have serious touch screen problems to deal with but come on Google..Are we really beta testers? you think its EASY to give you 500+ for a phone?

share your thoughts..
[Nexus One General] j23a45m:
at first i thought it was just me, but now is my phone as well as my wifes phone.

and to send it back with in the 14day period they keep $45 o yours when the phone is running like a pos. Great one Google i expected way better from yall
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Not sure what my take is...

1. All phones drop signals a bit when held by both hands.

2. This bouncing between edge/3g doesnt happen to me in strong 3g areas. In the area where it sometimes happens I cant replicate the issue stated it seems random. But to be fair my G1 was always bouncing back and forth there , heck even with Sprint I had mediocre EVDO steadiness.

It may be a slight hardware problem made worse by a network with very spotty 3g coverage in most areas.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Its getting really annoying and the silence Google is practicing is getting defending..
[Nexus One General] Fuse8499:
If I cup the bottom of the phone in my hand, my signal strength does drop a bar or 2. I never lose 3G completely though. Luckily I have a strong signal where I live. I could see this becoming a real problem if I travel away from home though. It's rather annoying that Google didn't catch this before releasing the phone
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
I just tried the same thing (holding in both hands, covering back etc..) on my HTC Pure on at&t and my 3g connection dropped down to 2 bars from 5 bars. Seems to be normal behaviour with all phones with internal antenna.

I think the only problem seems to be that N1 is too picky about signal trength and switches to edge as soon as signal strength drops down slightly.

I do not think this is an hardware issue.

EDIT: See attached screenshot from my old Nokia 6682 user manual. They specifically warn against this.
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
Maybe you think it's "real on all N1s" because of anecdotic evidence and postings on the internet, but that doesn't mean proof.

Now it might have trouble with US 3g frequecies or it might just be a software "problem" where it switches to edge before the signal gets too bad.

I can safely say I've had no problems at all, the signal doesn't switch back and forth, signal doesn't change when I cup it with both hands etc.

Granted I have -75dBm signal where I live, but it's not like I sit around playing with my phone indoors all the time either ;)
[Nexus One General] xSiraris:
All cellular phones lose signal when you cover the antenna with your hand. ALL of them. I've had over 20 cell phones in the past 10 years, and every single one had this issue. Why this is a standout issue on the N1, I don't know.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
The previous two Nokia phones I used all lose signal when holding the antenna area.
[Nexus One General] radiowc:
Well, again it happened to all phones with internal antenna...and not just Nexus One especially on a week 3G coverage.
