Tmobile's' total price on the 10 pound a month deal is 400 pounds (use quidco cashback)

That includes two years worth of free internet, free text, and 100 mins a month.

That equates to about 2 quid a month for free net, txt etc!

[Touch GSM General] westicemix:
Hi! I've tried searching the forums but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem. I have installed activesync 4.5 on Win XP Sp 2, but when I connect my HTC Touch, it says USB device not recognized and therefore I can't perform a sync. I did a hard reset on the phone but it still won't work. Do I need to download a separate usb driver for the phone? If yes, where can I get it? Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] ivanmatz:
Have you tried putting the usb wire on different slots of you pC? If still not working borrow a wire from someone and see if still problem arises~. No extra usb driver is req.
[Touch GSM General] westicemix:
Hi! Thanks for the reply. I did try with other cables and it's still not working. I don't think it's the wire or the usb slots because I can sync my other phones, an HTC Magic and a Nokia phone without any problems. :(

Is there a USB driver for HTC Touch? Maybe that can solve my problem...
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

Try Settings/connections/Usb to pc and uncheck everything beside the first option, this is the 1st action I take after flashing.
[Touch GSM General] westicemix:
same thing. my phone is still not detected. :confused:
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Another thought: can you sync over bluetooth? if yes the prob is hardware...

And if nothing works try flashing from SDcard.. That's all I can think of...

Also check the firewall settings too :)
[Touch GSM General] westicemix:
Haven't tried to sync over bluetooth... I can't find my BT dongle. :) I'll do that once I get hold of my BT. Btw, how do I flash a rom from an SDcard? Thanks again for all the help.

[HD2 General] paultje_007:
Hi guys,

How would I know if my intended HD2 buy is not a fake?

Where do I need to look for and what?

Serial numbers?

etc.

-Im from Holland (the netherlands)

-Asking price is 350

-Its a private seller, no retailer and the guy is unknown (besides first name and phonenumber)

-It comes in the original box with all the accessories and warranties according to seller

-Guy sounds legit, when communicating

-I want his HD2, Im a HTC user since 2002 (1e was a Artemis: P3300, 2nd and current: Touch Pro with custom ROM)

-I have great knowledge about an HD2 from pictures/videos/youtube, specs, etc. but never held one in person

Therefore I ask owners or similair intended buyers who know specific things on their HTC to look for what makes it a legit HTC. Is it serials, is it logo's? Things that are really hard to copy to make a fake one.

Kind Regards.

Paul
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
From where you get it ^^?
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Is there a specific model you want?

Where are you buying it from?

Can you touch it before you buy it?

How much are you planning to spend?

Have you seen HD2 videos on YouTube?

Do you know what it looks like?

Do you know the seller?

There are lots of questions you should think about before posting and asking us a very vague question.
[HD2 General] monty_rm:
Its hardly a vague question is it? Hopefully someone a bit more helpful will be able to offer more advice...:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
If you go to the HTC web site and look for a list of resellers in your country (you haven't said what country you are in) or go to the web site or store of an international mobile phone company I believe that you would only get a genuine phone. If you buy sight unseen from an auction site or a little known consumer electronics site in a country well known for being able to make fake consumer electronics then you are more likely to be sold a fake. How many people here have seen a fake HD2? I've personally never heard of anyone. Serial numbers can be duplicated, in fact they are sometimes shared in public fora for ROM download purposes so are not all quite as unique as they could be.

[HD2 General] witch1:
Only buy from a trusted reseller- Amazon or one listed by HTC. Here, from a senior member-I'd be hesitant of a noob (no offense to noobs).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
get a surname, address and landline phone number, then look them up in directory enquiries. Call them at the landline number you get from directory enquiries.

Not perfect, but can be useful in spotting a dodgy seller.
[HD2 General] paultje_007:
It's bought! I'm a proud owner of a 3 month old legit Leo (HD2).

The guy was more like a tester like everyone here on XDA than some dodgy tracksuit fellow with a loose phone. (the box with all the paperwork was there, plus he had an extra battery and an 8GB MicroSD card, but he lost the earplug...)

So 350 E is I think not a rip off!

(normal = 492E for a new retailers one and 50E for a 2nd battery + 8GB card)

(3 months old, no wear & tear!, is 542 - 350 = 192 E savings)

I reckon good deal!

[Desire General] ToxicWasted:
Hi everyone,

I recently ordered my Desire, but I was kinda wondering about the volume being low over headset. I plan on using my phone as an MP3 player daily, so it would be a BIG bummer if that's not possible. Can anyone tell me how their experience with music over the headset is?

Thanks.
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
For me, it's been good, its played all my itunes mp3s and put all the artwork on, and grouped them correctly in albums, group etc.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I don't know what everyone is on about, the phone is louder than the G1 (with the G1 loud hack applied) and louder than a Sony Ericsson K850i when playing music.
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
Yeh the speakers are great for me definitely better than other phones I've heard.
[Desire General] Cronnie:
Works perfectly for me, it has replaced my iPod touch.
[Desire General] daesimps:
I've only noticed 2 issues with MP3 playback, but they're unlikely to affect you.

I listen to Podcasts in a Spanish (a foreign language to me) which have a transcript in the MP3 lyrics tag - useful in case you don't quite catch something. The iPhone/iPod display these perfectly but the HTC Desire doesn't.

I also have some music in Spanish which are tagged as such in the Genre field. This is so when the wife is browsing it's easy to identify them. The Desire only seems to identify "standard" genres in the MP3 tags. Anything with a genre of "Spanish" is showing up as "unknown Genre".

The headphone playback is slightly lower than my iPhone, but still adequate. The only time I've noticed it to be an issue is at night. I listen to podcasts with one of those speakers that goes under your pillow. The wife sometimes complained with the iPhone that she could hear it, whereas with the Desire I sometimes struggle to hear it even at full volume. It's like it's almost loud enough, but not quite - maybe about 95% of the iPhone volume.

[Desire General] bluen0se9:
It sounds just as good as my ipod through my igrados, the stock headphones aren't up to much.
[Desire General] Nghtngl:
When ripping music from CDs to my computer, WMP automatically creates folders for each Artist and Album.

When I copy these music files to Desire's SD card (I'm still waiting for Desire to arrive), can I copy the whole set of folders directly to SD card's "Music" directory (i.e. will Desire find the mp3-files even if they are located in several different folders) or would it be better to copy all mp3s into a single folder?
[Desire General] fuzzmo:
It's fine - just copy all your folders to a folder called MP3 and the music player will pick it up automatically. MP3 will be at the root of your sd card and your folders will be underneath that. Works like a charm - also consider downloading Mortplayer (thread in the Android Apps section in the general section) - I dunno why but it sounds better than the HTC player, and music is generally as good as my iPhone and in some cases a touch better....:)
[Desire General] Nghtngl:
Thanks fuzzmo! It's such a relief to know that the usual "move from folders to the root" operation is not needed (as is the case with my ancient mp3 player) as there are several GBs of music to be copied. I'll definitely check out Mortplayer, too!
[Desire General] zedeff:
Just wanted to know if the iphone headphone mic works with the desire? I have one for 100USD sienheisser and wanted to keep using it. It is the normal 3.5mm plug with mic on the wire.
[Desire General] DarkVasyaK:
can anybody compare the sound with the SE X1, X2 and X10 ? :)
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
It depends what you mean by loud. If you want to use it on the London Tube you will not find it as loud as a lot of MP3 players. Of course these players are almost certainly damaging the hearing of the users!

It sounds loud enough to me but is unlikely to damage your hearing. Those who don't care about their hearing or their fellow passengers will not find it loud enough!
[Desire General] NZtechfreak:
Better than X1 and X2, exactly equal to the excellent X10 sound quality in all areas except it has a louder output (check the GSMarena review, they use topnotch measurement tools, and its completely objective).
[Desire General] langers1:
I mainly use mine as a mp3 player in the car bluetoothed via my handsfree kit. Ive tried different player apps, which ones do people use. Ive tried cubed (looked nice but with 8GB of music rather slow to find what i wanted) at the moment im using mixzing as I like the widget and its easy to use. What other ones are out there I can try?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I'm a bit confused here.

Google's OTA updates flash the radio too, right? If so, what's the difference between a user manually flashing it and a google-initiated flash? Why is it that we hear horror stories about people bricking their phones via manual radio flash and not when google initiates the flash? Does google's flash routine check battery levels prior to the flash and disable all user input during the flash? How is it so fail-proof?

I'd figure that if both procedures were more or less the same, wouldn't there be some reports of end users bricking their phones by allowing OTA updates on low-batteried, unplugged-from-the-charger N1's?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Flashing manually gives you the option to change when you want. There are several radio images out for the nexus. Some of the radio images have worked better for others then for some. I like the newest one the best. If you are not patient when flashing and pull the battery yes it will brick the phone. It takes several minutes for the radio image to flash the initial install and then there is a second boot up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy!:
Probably the OTA installation checks if you've got enough battery to complete the whole process before flashing anything. Plus, I imagine it strictly advises you not to remove the battery until the operation is complete.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hisoka210:
what does changing the radio do? lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafoo21:
SO i have a question or 2 about the radio:

1. Whats the difference between flashing the .img with fastboot and using recovery to flash the zip file? Are the 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2, 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2 and 4.02.02.14 files, similar to say, the 3 img files floating around the net?

2. Is flashing the radio with or without the RIL files going to make a difference?

What im trying to do is get to the bottom of my Desire ROM issues. I was coming from CMs latest stock rom and I had flashed the 2nd radio .img that Google released (the one before the leak and the one after the stock radio) and I was getting great reception and good speeds. Whne I flashed over to the Desire Roms, my netowrk bars would fluctuate between 0 bars and 4-5 bars every 5 seconds or so. When i flash the other two img files, the problem goes away but my connection is really unstable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfie196:
Radio image's should be used with the system image they were released/leaked with, so to answer question 2, yes it will make a difference. Some differences will be noticeable and some wont, and some times the radio image will not have changed at all between updates. As a general rule though, update the radio with the release it was intended for.

As for question 1, fastboot flashing is the safest way to flash ( IMHO ), though i do not know the differences.

Hello fellow members of this forum. I have a Htc hermes and in the description of the phone(on Cnet.com) i clearly saw that the storage memory of the phone can be backed up by a microSD card. My question is why then when i install apps to the microSD card, does it take up space on the device as well? why can't the amount of apps able to be installed be limited by only the size of the microSD card?

Also why can't Gameloft games be installed to a microSD card? thanks guys for your response i'm sure it will help others too!:)

What type of download speed are you getting using your Hero? My download speeds seem to peak at about 700Kb/s when the phone states I'm getting an EVDO signal. Is this all I should expect?

[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
Yep, sounds about right. I live in an area where sprint rents towers from ntelos wireless, and theirs tends to be about that slow... It really depends on who owns the towers, how many people are using them, signal strength, etc...

However my friend has a evdo rev A phone on US cellular, who owns their own towers in this area, and he gets 1.5-3mbps regularly! I really wish sprint would have rented from them in this area, but whatever, my bill is less than his by a lot.
[Hero CDMA General] entropism:
My peak is 2.5mbps, and I average about 2.2-2.3 at my house. I've seen as low as 700-1.2 in some areas.
[Hero CDMA General] richse:
Based on the speedtest app my rev A normally gets around 700-800 kbps. I have seen it go as high at 2 mbps at like 3am on a sunday night. Even when the speedtest app says I'm getting 700 kbps if I use wifi tether and go to something that is data intensive it gets above 1 mbps. I turned hulu on through wifi tether and it was keeping a steady 1.5 mbps. That's plenty for me until I get an EVO anyway.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Mine fluctuates depending on where I am. The fastest download speed i got was 2.3Mbs. But usually it is around 1M or so.

It really depends on how many people are using the towers at that given time. I get alot better speeds late at night when most are sleeping.

All I know is I have the lowend dsl package here because it was $10 a month when I signed up and get download speeds upto 780kbs. If I'm downloading a huge file(ROM's,programs) I usually tether my phone because it will usually get twice the speed I get on my dsl.

For those of you getting higher than 760Kb/s does your phone report rev.A?

Also I seem to recall some discussions early on about Rev.0 and Rev.A and that the Rev.0 indication was incorrect (according to Sprint) and should have been fixed by a software upgrade.

I just upgraded my radio to 2.42.00.03.10 my PRI is 1.68_003.

So what's the scoop?

Well, I live in a small town west of Hilton Head Island, SC and I get (on average) 2.3 meg down and 0.80 meg up which seems pretty good considering less than a year ago we didn't even have EVDO in the area.

Also, I am on EVDO Rev. A.
[Hero CDMA General] richse:
My phone always said Rev 0 until I flashed fresh 2.0d. My progression of roms was stock -> fresh 1.0/1.1 -> DC1.0 -> Fresh 2.0d. All besides the current one said rev 0. I was on stock radio for all of it so it wasn't a radio change. I tested my speeds before and after each Rom and the avg with speed test didn't change at all. I think the rev 0 is really just a typo.

I think that's about the most I'll get in Roanoke, VA. My phone says CDMA - EvDo rev. A.

Now when I test it over wifi with the mobile network off I get just about the same speeds with it peaking over 2mb. If I go and test a computer on the same connection at the same time I'll get 4-5 mb. Are our phones limited in some way to a max download speed?

It depend alot on your phone. If its running a lot of stuff it will be slower.

When using an overclocked rom youll have alot higher speeds.

But no its definitely not maxed at 2 or even 3. I get about 4mbps when in the same room as my router. Running fresh toast overclock rom I can get about 5 or 6 in the same room, 4mbps if im in my room next to the room with the router.

Just FYI, kbps and kb/s are the same thing. What you are trying to say is that you get 180 kB/s which equals 1440 kbps. The important part is the capital "B" for Byte versus the lowercase "b" for bit. 1B = 8b. Sorry I had to chime in but when people mix these up it always bothers.
