I just finished unlocking i-mate pda2k pocket pc,but when phone is done with screen calibration. it show network signal and start loading application and after is done with loading applications and files phone reboots,after reboots phone will now show a different application on screen and network signal will not come again.the application show on screen is telling u to input user name and password.there is a writing on top. B:SM V1.2 please help me to bypass this and give phone to customer
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
You have to hard reset since you are not supposed to set up password during the initial set up. You will lock the device if you do.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ARAB GSM:
Is not user password is a software that pop out when phone is starting
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Hard reset your device and just when the device is going to do auto-configuration (after screen calibration and date set is done), quickly soft reset the device (stylus in pin-hole). This way, you will stop the auto-customizations from running and therefore, any software being installed that is requiring you to set a password will not be installed. Good luck!

ive got a 512mb ext4 partition running on cm5.0.5.2 and had a2sd enabled

is there any way i could transfer all my apps from the phone mem to sd without reinstalling them ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Yes. I have app manager pro installed, free will work also. I like the pro cause it show the apps install in the menu. I back up all the unprotected app to sd. Then I went menu, install from there all the app I have install I just clicked install. As they install they move to the sd partition. The protected apps I just wait for a market update or manually do those.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.

[Hero CDMA General] pop1234:
Hope they add Baltimore but do you really think the upgrade is coming on the 26th
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Baltimore was the first city with sprint 4G
[Hero CDMA General] aversusb:
Dallas here. Have had 4G for a while. Now I just need the Supersonic to take advantage of the speeds!

[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
Same here. I won't buy into Clear as a "home and travel internet replacement" yet because it's quite expensive for just 6Mbit.

However, I'd love to have a WiMax phone ;)

WiFi tether would mean no extra cost for WiMax on the go.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
Cincinnati, Cleveland

what about the rest of us in the middle
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Here in Austin, the cost of Clear for home and away is the same as ATT uverse home internet with the same speed. That being said, I don't use a laptop so, I'm pretty hyped about a wimax phone! Unfortunately, I have to wait till December for my upgrade :(
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
How about the ville? We have Churchill Downs... Doesn't that count for something?
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Actually, their pricing isn't that bad, but they're going about it ass backwards. They're rolling out to major metropolitan areas where high speed, wireless Internet is already easy and cheap to come by.

In the town I live in, people are still paying $50 a month for a 512 kbit connection. If they were to put up a 4g tower here they'd sell several thousand units the first day they turned it on, not to mention taking phone business away from the only cell carrier that has decent coverage here but is WAY overpriced.

Sure, they wouldn't have the millions of potential subscribers like they do in large metro areas, but at least they'd be marketing to people who see the product as appealing.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand the appeal of large cities, but from a business perspective I know I'd personally have an easier time turning a profit with a thousand eager customers than a million who see my offering as a joke.
[Hero CDMA General] kranz68osu:
I couldn't agree more. Two low tech towns that I bet have half the number of users using data cards then Columbus. (I say this as I stare at the 3G indicator on my overdrive). Watch, they'll give it to Toledo and Youngstown before Columbus.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
From what I have read, Sprint and Walmart have a deal to put up 4G towers on top of all there stores. Seems to me like just about everyone could have some decent coverage if they did all these first. Everyone has a wal mart around...except for maybe south florida. I don't think there is one any where near South Beach Miami.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I thought that was still in rumor phase?
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
They would probably have to knock down some strip clubs to make room for a walmart in miami!
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
They could put the strip club inside of the Walmart. They put everything else in there. That's a win win for everybody.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
True then I would have something to do while my wife shops, nvm shes a target junkie.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Strip club or Cheap Retail/4G coverage???

I'm going with option 1. :D They won't let you pull out a cell phone in the clubs around here, 4G would be useless.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
I personally believe miami is the capital of strip clubs, ive ben there once or twice in my younger years

[Hero CDMA General] johndoehizzle:
Thats what im wondering too...dont remember if it was wimax or 4g that the heros radio doesnt support.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
They're the same thing (on Sprint anyway, most other providers are going with LTE instead of 802.16/WiMAX for 4G), and the same answer.

I thought the Hero 4G comment would be safely recognized as tongue-in-cheek on xda-DEVELOPERS forum, but perhaps not.

Read up on EV-DO and 802.16e (aka "WiMAX" aka "Sprint 4G"). EvDO/CDMA is cellular phone technology, WiMAX/802.16 is a data protocol (like 802.3/Ethernet and 802.11/Wi-Fi). NOT COMPATIBLE. A radio chip could be built with both CDMA and WiMAX radios in it (similar to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth converged chips), but a CDMA radio (as in the Hero) just isn't going to do WiMAX no matter what software is behind it.
[Hero CDMA General] bray424:
Does anyone know the range of these spots? I live in Los Angeles county, but an hour outside of the city itself, and I'm curious if I'll fall under 4g coverage.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
I'd like to know that myself, as I'm just outside of St Louis proper. My guess is that they're listing "markets", in which case its probably the metro area. Since LA is so huge and sprawls on nearly forever, I'd say its anyone's guess as to how far out it goes.

I did dig up a tidbit about WiMAX tower spacing (Clearwire is Sprint's WiMAX partner):

(http://www.wimax.com/education/faq/faq31)

This spacing is similar to suburban-deployed cell towers, so I'm sure they're just co-locating on the same towers (not Wal-Marts). I'm not sure of the micro-cell capabilities for WiMAX, so I don't really know what they do in high-density areas. One big challenge in deploying WiMAX towers is providing them with the bandwidth necessary (since 4G provides so much more bandwidth than 3G). This pretty much means pulling fiber to the tower sites, and of course includes all the infrastructure needed to feed the bandwidth to the towers (upstream bandwidth, routers, etc...). Its not as simple as just dropping another radio on the towers.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I guess my lack of italics and sarcasm bites me again today. I got your point originally though.
[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
i live in miami and yes it is the capital of strip clubs lol. and not alot of walmarts? you kidding me theres a good amount of walmarts down here.

Will 4G give you the ability to use the phone and internet at the same time? What are the benefits.
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
Uhmm no you can't use internet and phone.

4g just increases speed.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
Actually, 4G will let you use the phone and data at the same time. Since WiMAX uses a separate radio, the one handling your call will still work at the same time WiMAX is pulling data.

From http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/htc-evo-4g-is-sprints-android-powered-knight-in-superphone-armo/:

[Hero CDMA General] david279:

wheres 4g?

we have about 7549958940909486^8X3.14 walmarts in kentucky i hope 4g comes here before 2016

[Hero CDMA General] dmc971989:
im within walking distance to the one in halls, clinton hwy walmart and east town mall walmart are both 15ish minutes from me
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
Yeah, I'm hoping the Walmart rumor is true. I can see one out of my window on an opposing mountain. (though it's ~2mi away) I doubt it however since they already rent/own towers where their other equipment is stored, and the cell spacing is likely similar.

Sprint doesn't even have their own 3g towers here in northern WV yet, they rent from a local provider. (ntelos)
[Hero CDMA General] bubbacs1:
Yay, 4G.....Supersonic.

Now can we get that long awaited 2.1 upgrade we have been hearing about.

Seems everyone forgot about that part of any announcement we were looking for!

Hummmm?

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA General] slimboutit:
Has anybody hear anything about when New Orleans might be getting sprint 4g, I hope it's before I upgrade at the end of the year.............
[Hero CDMA General] Mathnerd:
Sprint is an MVNO for Clearwire. All the Sprint 4G network is Clearwires WiMax network. So yes, you will be able to use the Evo anywhere Clear has service.
[Hero CDMA General] Mathnerd:
On one hand it is as simple as just dropping more radios on the towers. Since Clearwire is building their network with 100% microwave backhaul there is no pulling fiber to each tower. This gives near the bandwidth of fiber, up to about 1.2 Gbps, with the speed and ease of deployment of microwave.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
I hope their 4G speeds in my area are better than the 3G speeds cause they pretty much suck.
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
Lol, welcome to my world. I live at the midpoint of 3 sprint towers (that I know of). If I'm in my house, I get a tiny bit of service from one to the west, if I'm down in the shed, I get enough service to make a call from the tower to the south, and if I'm down the road just a bit, I get service from a tower in Wisconsin, but just barely enough to make a call. These hills really suck when it comes to getting cell service, and putting a tower on the nearest walmart won't help me a bit, since it's 12 miles away to drive there, and there's a half dozen limestone hills in the way :P

Sous-Chef's Kitchen Utensils & Appliances Review

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651026
[Windows Mobile] player911:
I use Visual Kitchen

I chose visual kitchen because that was what Da_G used and started me out on. Here are my thoughts:

_________PRO_________

- GUI interface to visually select/deselect packages

- Expandable with Programmable Extra Buttons to ease sorting and cooking stuff

- Allows users to select multiple builds, Lanuages, packages, etc using drop down boxes

- Save/Load configurations and settings

- Robust, Organized and Complete

_________CON_________

- File structure has to be intact or it will fail

- Have to know the building procedure to make sure custom files aren't overwritten

- Packages are in folders, so finding a specific file can be tedious

- Can be overwhelming and confusing to get it setup initially from scratch

I would recommend using this kitchen as it pretty nice. Now of course I say that without using any other kitchen to compare it to... but it does everything I need thus no need to look elsewhere.

_________TIPS_________

EXT folder = Packages (Games/HTC Apps/HTC Dialer/Etc). Additional apps outside of stock MS stuff

OEM folder = Phone specific stuff, OEM customizations, tweaks (usually left alone)

ROM folder = Basic building blocks for WM builds. Has basic device and WM drivers (MSXipKernel updated when SYS gets updated)

SYS folder = WM Build. Contains all the stuff that is stock MS products (updated to change to newer builds)

- Starting out as a new chef... I would suggest that you find a Fully working kitchen designed for your device that is fairly new and updated. Once you can create a working rom, you can then slowly start to expand it by adding more packages and features.

- Don't add too much at once. If you do, and it fails... you'll have to troubleshoot what you added and that can be tedious. It helps to add new packages in groups of 5... so you can test specific parts of the rom before continuing. You'll be surprised that 1 screwed up file can keep your kitchen from completing the building process. Keep that in mind.

- The "EXT" folder is optional and gets updated the most. OEM, ROM, and SYS folders are the only folders really required. Knowing this can allow you to build a very very basic stock Windows build designed for your device. If you have any problems building or flashing, try disabling all of the packages in the EXT folder. If your very very very basic rom still doesn't work... then your "base" kitchen is screwed up. This can be harder to fix.

- Make frequent backups of your "Base" kitchen in the event you screwed something up. I usually will remove the EXT folder and ZIP up the rest in an archive on a memory stick. I update my backup archives after a successful upgrade/edit/tweak of the "base".
