[Desire General] Havok316uk:
Hi has anybody else had problems with this company. I pre-ordered the phone on t-mobile recommended contract on the 13th March. Pre-order deal was 4gb memory card, in car charger and £40 worth of free goodies to which I chose an 8gb card.

- 4 days after recieving the phone I found they hadnt activated my contract so had to do it all over the phone

- 6 days later still my number hasnt been ported. Called up T-mobile had to re-submit my code for porting.

- 10 days later no freebies or goodies arrived. called mpd customer services they had to re-submit my order.

- 19 days later they sent me a 4gb card not recieved anything else!

Everytime I speak to a customer rep online they dont come across friendly and never even said thanks for buying from mobilephonesdirect they just hang up or close the chat! very ignorant for a phone company I think.

Anyone else had problems?
[Desire General] admoo:
It's a shame you're just out of the 14 day cooling off period, else you could have just sent it back.

They've been really, really sloppy with the release of the Desire. I ordered one from them, and after phoning them literally every day for 9 days to try and set up my sim card, I told them to shove it, and sent my phone back. I haven't heard from them since, so I'm hoping its all good :rolleyes:
[Desire General] madmossy:
I had a nightmare of a time with them, pre ordered mine 1st march, cancelled 1st april but they still sent me out 2 phones attached to contracts, its taken me the best part of 2 weeks to get it sorted.

I wont be touching them anytime in the future thats for sure, customer support is appauling and i could never get through on the support line, always ended up using sales.
[Desire General] RetroFlux:
I didn't have any problems with em, ordered on the a Sunday and it arrived by Wednesday with the free car charger. However, I didn't pre order or take it on a contract.
[Desire General] Havok316uk:
its flaming annoying. Now they just sent me a bill for a 4gb sd card which comes free. Im getting very cheesed off now! Still haven't received my freebies, they told me there's a huge back order for them.
[Desire General] claptnei:
Beware MPD

Same here.

Preordered in March. Delivered on April 7th. :)

T-Mobile sim set up for Nokia 6700. Max connection speed 356k because of this. T-Mobile wont switch it to HSDPA speed without £5 per month extra charge.

Ordered 8Gb memory card. Delivered a 4Gb card 2 weeks later. Billed me for it yesterday.

This is the worst company I have every dealt with! :mad:
[Desire General] itsamac:
it must be contracts? I had a good experience with MPD. I was weary about ordering from them but was happy with the service for the most part. Updates on the website were not that regular.

I ordered a T-Mobile PAYG Desire the evening of the 7th. It arrived the following Monday. I was surprised considering the stock shortages. The 4GB card was already in the phone.

Based on what I read here, probably on for PAYG or SIM free only. Sounds like they struggle with contracts.
[Desire General] gRoberts:
Thank god I didn't buy from them. They wouldn't confirm whether the handset was sim-free/unbranded on PAYG despite plenty of people suggesting otherwise so I went to Handtec and got it from there.
[Desire General] H00pyFr00d:
Mine was fairly smooth to be honest. A little bit of a mixup with my order but it arrived about two days later complete with free HTC car charger.

The only issue I had, which I think everyone had, is T-Mobile think you're on a Nokia N900 when you activate your contract so won't put you on the free (and apparently faster) internet tarrif.

It was quite simple to talk to T-Mobile and get this changed and there was no suggestion of paying an extra fiver and now I'm getting DL speeds of about 1600kbps and can use the booster for my text messages instead.

Hi, guys,

I got a HTC T5399 which is said to be Twin 10000, this dual mode phone is on the China market, customized for China Telecom CDMA2000 network, although it also supports WCDMA at the same time according to its brochure.

My problem is that GPRS functionality is disabled deliberately by the manufacturer when I want to use it under WCDMA network with my UK O2 sim card. Of course the voice calls are fine under WCDMA as it's supposed to. When I attempted to establish a new Internet connection, the options of line types are only three types: cellular line, bluetooth and Hayes modem on com port, there is no option of GPRS cellular line available as normal WCDMA 3G phones do. I tried to set up the connection with cellular line anyway but failed to connect to the network.

After googling on the Internet without any progress, I finally have to come here for help, as this website is for the best WM experts in the world. If I can not get it solved with your guys help, I don't think it's possible to sort it out anywhere else.

Thank you very much in advance for your kind support!

I updated to cyanogen 5.0.6 and realized that my emails aren't getting to me frequently. Anyone else notice that? I do get the emails but they come in a lot later than my desktop.
[Nexus One General] Lebog:
I have been up with 5.0.6 for a few days now and have not noticed any delay with Gmail or my corporate email. Are you using a Task Manager? When I first started using one I did not add the email process to the Ignore list and kept killing corporate email and then wondering why it wouldn't update until I opened it again.. :o
[Nexus One General] tonnic:
ohhhhhhhhh. that might be it! LOL. I am using gmail / Google apps so I just added the gmail app to the ignore list. is there any other processes that I need?

I use Dolphin (free in the market)
[Hero CDMA General] korrowan:
I use Opera Mini
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
mini for 90% of stuff..( like the speed..) stock for everything else..

Ive been a fan of mini since using it way back in the day on my sanyo's//mm-5600 and mm-9000.. then on my ppc6700..and every htc wm since. I love that its on android..
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
has anyone checkdd out xscope? fast, fierce, and noobfriendly :-)
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
Ya i liked it.. but just so used to mini.. wish i could make it my default.lol but xscope is nice too..
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
i am having problems with the pinch zoom...and cant select accurately unless i zoom in and i mean zooom all the way in...gon try dolphin ....

wanted to know ur opinion maybe somebody else was having same issue....;)
[Hero CDMA General] pwabbit:
I have tried all the different browsers I could find. The best IMHO is xScope. Pinch zoom is mandatory for me. Far too many of the browsers don't have it. xScope has "pinch zoom", "pin zoom" and "tap zoom". Almost sounds like Forest Gump and all the different kinds of shrimp.

Anyone else with this problem? Camera Geotagging on X2 (with MR1) doesn't work.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] amdx2:

[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
I'm not sure, got to check that, but i "think" that geotagging worked with the original ROM + software-update...
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Is there an app or way to see which apps actually use data?

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[G1 Apps and Games] Chahk:
The "XDA mobile" app definitely accesses data :p

Seriously though, it's all in individual apps' permissions. The only way I know of reading those is to pull /data/system/packages.xml and look through the <perms>...</perms> nodes for each package and hunt for "android.permission.INTERNET" element.
[G1 Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Just use DroidWall and only whitelist the ones you want to use data.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Well, I do, but I wanted to kinda do it reversed. I wanted to see like which app uses the most data/accesses 3G and maybe disable only that app....if that makes sense.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
hahah right. Good info though...looks like I'll set something aside to do when I'm bored. :p
[G1 Apps and Games] anzoshi:
aSpotcat by the same people who made aTrackdog is probably what you are after, it allows you to see lists of what applications require what permissions and a summary of what that permission means
[HD2 General] Julian2103:
Is there a way to do so? I would like to flash a new ROM, however I have alot of apps on my phone i would like to keep. It would take way too long to reinstall all of them. Thanks in advance:)
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
use one of the many readily available back-up utilities.
[HD2 General] pa49:
Just be aware that you can get problems if you backup and restore to different ROMs. It isn't always successful!

[Nexus One General] Weees:
Hi,

I have just witnessed the wierdest problem yet on ANY phone I have EVER owned.

The problem is as follows:

While someone is calling, I will suddenly start hearing the person calling me on the loud speaker of the phone WHILE its still ringing and the person on the other end HAVE NO IDEA that I can hear him !!!!!!!!

So I start hearing the ringtone AND the person on the other end both at the same time !!!!.

It happens randomly and it happens without any interferance from me.

The phone is using the Stock ERE27 with superboot and root.

I have no clue as to what could even cause this, or how its possible. If anyone has ANY idea........PLEASE let me know!.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Wow, is this consistent?

I'd say it might be a provider issue actually.. I may be wrong, but I think that unless provider sends a "connect" command that would start transfering the voice over to your phone, your N1 wouldn't be able to make you hear him/her.

Just thinking out loud. Maybe worth calling their support or going on their forums to see if other people have same problem and if it's specific to N1 or that provider.

I never had that problem with any of the phones (AT&T US)
[Nexus One General] Weees:
Nope, its not consistent, it happens out of the blue and randomly. But it does happen quiet often........say around once every 2 days or so. I thought it could be provider related as well, but I have been using the same sim card for many years and I never had anything like this......chances are that this started happening from the provider around the same time i started using my N1 are quiet slim........it will have to be one hell of a coincidence.

I have 2 other friends with N1s and they are using the same telecom provider as myself, but they have no such issues :S
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Hmm, well maybe it is N1 then. have you tried calling google?
[Nexus One General] Weees:
I cant call Google, they wont support me since im not living in the U.S .

Although I bought it from there, but im living in Dubai. So I doubt I will be getting any support from them.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
I had this problem alot with my old panasonic gd60 phone in Jamaica on the DIGICEL network. I figured it was cross talking interferance until I started hearing things I shouldn't :D
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
That's actually kinda cool, I wish my phone did that.
[Nexus One General] MomijiTMO:
That's bloody weird :S
[Nexus One General] Weees:
well, I would rather find out why or how is this happening before I start changing sims. Because the timming of the problem is too close to ignore ! It only started happening like 2 weeks after I started using N1.
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
This happened to me last night for the first time. No other phone did this and i used the same sim. My sim is not old.
[Nexus One General] Weees:
Finally !! Someone else ! So im not alone.......and this is looking more and more like a manufacturing problem with the N1s......and I would say this a major screw up!
[Nexus One General] zomer86:
I have the same problem as well, first only with 1 person but at the moment i can hear everybody before accepting. I dont have a problem with it, its good if they say something bad about you. :)
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
wow that's a weird bug! we just found a weird bug on the palm pre, where when you are on a call and someone else calls in with call waiting. if the current active call hangs up, the palm pre automatically answers the incoming call waiting call seemlessly so you dont know the difference! yet the phone still shows the original caller ID, and the call time counter still continues for the original call.

kinda a serious bug in a way, lets say you dont wanna answer that person's call, but the pre does it anyway.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
It's happened to me on an old Nokia...(6 years ago) on Cingular. I think it's got something to do with the carrier and the simcard security. When it happened to me, it happened the other way. I was calling and I could hear the conversation before they picked up. :eek:
[Nexus One General] Weees:
Does anyone know where I should be looking to find any clue as to whats happening in background thats causing this malfunction ? I would like to try and re-create the issue other phones.....but I will need to find out first if its software or hardware related.

Basically what im asking is........where do I look (log files and stuff like that) to give me hints ?
[Nexus One General] xxtreem11:
I'd like to see how to enable that feature!!! I wanna see what some folks say before I answer their calls!!! :cool:
[Nexus One General] abstrucity:
This used to happen to me when I first bought the nokia 6600. When I got an incoming call, I usually press the silence button, hold the phone to my ear, and then pressed answer. But before I could press answer, I could hear the people on the other end, *****ing about me, calling to sell credit card, etc etc.. (lol)

I thought it was the phone, but few other people got the same issue.. with different phones.

it was eventually rectified by the carrier. (As I did nothing to the phone and all was back to normal)
[Nexus One General] Weees:
So No one has any bright ideas to solving this mystery ? From the posts so far, it seems like a device issue more than a telecom issue......
[Nexus One General] hubono:
lol. it happened to me once.

i have experienced this so many times well mostly with a very old sony phone. like the pervoius post mentioned, u change the volume while ur phone is ringing before answering the call. u put the phone on ur ears and boom.

i enjoyed it when i had that phone. always hearing ppl talking **** about you without them knowing is power: p

anyways my nexus one did it. stock not rooted not unlocked. using it in oman
[Nexus One General] sixcoronas:
It happens to me 2 or 3 times a week. Cyan or Enoms rom. I have submitted bug reports with logcats and nothing turns up.

cradle not detected

Same happened to me. HD2 was not detected when sitting in the cradle. It was detected thorugh when I used the cable. I yesterday deinstalled and reinstalled the mobile device center. That initially fixed the problem, but today I got the same message again "USB Device not recognized". Can anyone help?
[HD2 General] malex1:
The PC is seeing the docking station as a USB device, and does not recognise it, so cannot see the HD2 through the first device.

Try this, have phone set to standby or switched off, place on docking station, plug into pc, then switch phone on. This should send a signal from phone to pc that it is a USB device.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] gkfstranzke:
DId not work

Thanks for answering.

Unfortunately that did not help. Any other ideas how the computer may be persuaded to detect the cradle?

This actually happens only on my Windows 7 64bit Computer, not on my old Windos XP machine.

Thanks

I had this problem fixed by using an other USB port (1 of 8 worked!)

Tried all USB ports. Did not work. Re-installed mobile center against. Did not work. Seems WIndows 7 just cannot handle the docking station.

Super user is used to control which applications can ask for root access.

This way nothing can hijack your device without you knowing first.

Just a general quick question. If I'm changing ROMs and want to keep the applications that I have, can I just pull them before I wipe my SD, and then push them back after I flash the new ROM. This may be a really dumb question, but it just seems way too easy for this to be all there is to it.
