With ford or samsung tv you have no ties to the company in any way. If you stop paying for your car, Fords not gunna come get you. The bank will. If you decide you dont want to use your tv anymore and want to switch. Samsungs not gunna charge you have early termination fee.

Having a contract with a company and being loyal to them, payin bills on time, using there services and not switching to others even when you have the chance to after your 2 years is up is completely different. They also offer discount for accessories, why not phones.

What you sayin right now is "i have an htc phone, I want a cheaper one next time cuz i already have one". They dont compare.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
its the same thing. u pay for a service dont like it, pay more and go elsewhere. u guys do realize the united states is the only place where the providers sell phones too right? at discounted rates at that

[HD Mini General] robertszydlo:
Hello,

After 2 days of using HD Mini I must say I am very pleased... the only major complaint is that the phone hangs up after connecting to my macbook and to my iMac. I know that this is a windows phone and I don't expect it to synchronize and so on, but my previous phone ( HTC Diamond) connected to mac computer acts normally- it is seen as external disk drive, I can copy files to memory and charge it from the laptop battery if needed. HD Mini freezes and I cannot even switch it off- I need to disconnect battery! Do you think it is something wrong with my phone or all of them act like this? Has anyone try to connect HD Mini to Apple computer? Thank you very much for any info!
[HD Mini General] darthrider:
Hi,

You can sync the HD mini with Apple iCal, Address Book and some iTunes music (and more) thanks to utilities like Mark/Space Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It works through USB or Bluetooth links (it uses the MS ActiveSync protocol). :cool:

The USB mass storage mode of the HD mini seems to have problem with Apple computers. I'm experiencing the same troubles as you are with both a MacBook and an iMac. Some driver update is probably required. :(

Regards
[HD Mini General] robertszydlo:
Thank you!

problem solved at least partially...

using missing sync for now and hope HTC to release update to storage mode

Regards and many thanks
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
Mine does exactly this. Freezes and I too have to remove the battery. If I set the HD Mini to 'ActiveSync' mode, I can charge the battery from the Apple (Mac Mini in my case), but cannot access the storage card.

I use the free version of SyncMate to sync the HD Mini with my Mac, I couldn't get this to work via BlueTooth (which worked with my TG01), naturally can't get it to work via USB either, but eventually had success using WiFi to sync.
[HD Mini General] robertszydlo:
please everyone having this problem....report to HTC :) let's hope they fix the mass storage mode
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
Did this yesterday!

I should say, I don't think setting the connection type to 'ActiveSync' prevented a crash after all. I think it just delayed it!
[HD Mini General] xeinyx:
I'm using SyncMate - works perfectly.

I'm not able to see SD card like USB storage, but via SyncMate I can connect to StorageCard and copy files.

It's not good way for big files (700 MB about 30 min), but for small is usable.
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
I'm guessing you have the full (paid!) version of SyncMate? I don't think you can sync to the SD card with the free version?

I can't get SyncMate to connect to the HD Mini using bluetooth, only WiFi. Is this 'normal' or am I just daft?
[HD Mini General] SyncMate:
@ everyone -

If you have any problems while using SyncMate, please, contact our Support team at support@eltima.com, thanks
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
Thanks for all your help...

Had this reply from HTC today:

Dear Mark Thank you for your enquiry about Mac. I'm sorry we don't support Mac, so we're not alowed to help you setup your hd-mini with a Mac operating system. For assistance on this you'll need to contact Mac, i'm sorry for the inconvenience! Best regards,

And my (final) words:

Thanks for your reply.

It seems a great pity that such a useful facility cannot be used in this model, when it was available in previous models.

Whilst I understand that you do not support the Mac, should a device designed to work to a universal standard, such as USB not work on all devices regardless of operating system? I have never had problems with other 'standard' USB disk drives on the Mac, they all work on Windows, Linux and Mac machines. I would have expected the HD Mini to do so also, if not for the Sync features (which I expected) and not only for the WiFi and Bluetooth (which do work as expected on the Mac) but certainly for the USB disk facilities, facilities that do work on competing Windows Mobile Devices.

Should you try connecting the HD Mini to any Macs that you or your team may own and discover the reason for the lock-ups, please contact me.

Personally, I'd say that the problem lies with HTC - not Apple, but it doesn't look like anything is going to be done about it. Perhaps a future update will 'accidentally' fix the problem?

I can hope. Can't I???
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
I have just applied the ROM update for the HD Mini (released 28th May 2010).

This appears to have removed the lock up encountered when connecting the HD Mini to the Mac, so far at least.

Whilst this has not enabled the access to the SD card on the Mac, it does mean that Parallels (Windows XP) can now connect normally using ActiveSync for software installations and backups. Parallels too seems unable to access the SD card directly, but can browse the HD Mini device using ActiveSync.

Performing this ROM update did not delete any data on my device, despite the warnings that it would. Perhaps different versions of the device (mine was purchased SIM free and network unlocked) will lose some data during the upgrade process.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] LessThanSte:
I got the HD2 today and have been playing, very impressed i have to be honest.

ONE thing though is irritating me. When typing an sms (im not sure if it happens in other applications) the cursor has a habit of jumping to another part of the message (usually the start, but sometimes mid way through) when i press the symbol button, meaning that when i add the symbol, if i havnt seen it i will start typing at the beginning of the message rather than at the end, making a jumbled up message!

Has anyone else experienced this? I saw a post from someone in January who had what sounded like a similar issue, though his was solved by getting a new HD2.

One thing though, i notice that it SEEMS to be when the symbol button is pressed when another word is current being typed (i.e. if i havnt quite hit the space button yet to accept the word!)

Anyone know how to stop it?

Much love

Steve
[HD2 General] Athar Mansoor:
+1. Happens to me as well.. Can get quite annoying if you have typed much since the cursor last moved..
[HD2 General] s32bauer:
Same here as well, although I haven't noticed it since updating to the most recent ROM version for T-Mobile from the website.
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
What version is that?
[HD2 General] Rahonavis:
I have the same problem on a official rom 1.48.479.1 ..

I was okwith it at first but it is getting on my nerves.. :D
[HD2 General] LessThanSte:
I suppose i should point out im on the 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE rom.

Il give the update on the website a go and see if that cures it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
Any sprint employees that can provide some advice here would be great.

I'm a premiere customer and have 1 more month before my year is complete.

I'd like to upgrade to the EVO.

Is there anything that can be done a month early? I'm impatient.

A special code, threaten to cancel my contract or else and get passed to retention? Anything?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joecrack305:
nope pretty much corp stores used to be able to push up the date a month early if it was within 18 days of the next month and they took that away. and you can threat but it wouldnt make it better to be honest, ive had customers sa they need a phone asap because it broke and its a month away. stil a no go they will offer you a feature phone for free but thats it no early upgrade.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
My friend, a Sprint employee, said he could push the date 18 days for me still.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
I don't want it for free, I want to use my yearly upgrade and renew my contract for another 2 years with Evo.

Seems like 18 days early on premier is the soonest..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
Could retention do anything? I used to work as an AT&T Retention CSR. We could upgrade at 6 months into a 24mo contract.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
I'm gonna find out on June 4th.

I'm going to throw the Hero 2.1 update failures, loyalty and my company has about 100 active Sprint accounts for our sales reps, plus I get a discount.

They can either keep my business, and I'll give them my soul for another 2 years or I'll threaten to leave, (which I really won't) but I'm a telemarketer, I'll get what I want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
If you don't call retention in a situation like this, you just aren't savvy about getting the best bang for your buck from your provider. They have whole call centers in place to handle these calls. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

If I have to wait until November for the Evo, I probably will switch carriers. They'll probably appreciate me giving them a heads up rather than me just porting out and paying my final bill. Gives them an opportunity to keep my business. If not, its cool. iPhone HD here I come.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bockjacob:
Nobody is talking about breaking a contract, they're talking about switching carriers after their contract is up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
Very good possibility that I'll be paying an ETF in near future at least.

One thing I should probably add here... I was instructed to proactively offer early upgrades on EVERY LINE on any account that came through retention. Even if the call was misrouted to us. The carriers don't lose money doing this stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bp3dots:
Not really sure how I look ignorant. I simply understand honoring an agreement I made. If I wanted it that bad, but wasn't eligible for upgrade, I'd just buy it outright, or if I didn't want to spend that much money, I'd wait.

You also don't know me, so I'll just say pot, kettle. And as far as getting out of your thread, its a public forum. You expressed your opinion on how to abuse the system, I gave you mine on people who do those kinds of things. /shrug Sorry it offended you so much.

Yes, I know that the tactic works. I just disagree with it. I deal with people who will give me the nasty "well if you dont do XYZ for me, ill never come back." attitude regularly, and honestly, most of them want things that are so ridiculous, and they treat reps so badly, that I'd prefer they took their business elsewhere.

*I'm not saying that you would be a total douche to the retentions person, but most people are*

The OP is in a 2 year contract, but his premier status allows him to upgrade at the year mark. He still has one year on the original contract though. So he would be leaving mid-contract if things didn't go his way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
So you hate your job, don't take it out on me. Quit.

Also if you re read my OP you'll see that I said I won't switch/cancel, I'll tell them that I will. There are tactics involved here. I'm going to try, and if I fail, I fail. I'll wait the 30 days. No big deal. If I don't have to wait then great! That's the point of this thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bp3dots:
I think the kicker here would bethat leaving sprint not only costs the ETF, but everyone else has higher priced plans. Double whammy, unless you really liked a phone that was only available elsewhere.

You said your upgrade was november...at the rate phones are coming out, the EVO II might be ready by then lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bp3dots:
I love my job. I dislike rude and disrespectful people.

If you're not the kind of person that talks down to the poor operator on the other end of the line and acts like a complete ass, then I can understand you asking them to make an exception for you. I will apologize for jumping the gun and expecting that you would do it douchingly.

Although I still stick by my opinion that if someone threatens to leave the service over this kind of issue, the carrier should be willing to send them on their way to someone who will be more accomidating.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bp3dots:
Thats the thing. They know that people wont leave most of the time, its just a scare tactic. If you knew someone was BSing you, would you give them what they wanted, or call their bluff?

If one of my customers asks me for something in a respectful manner, I will go out of my way to help them get it. If they try to bully me into it, I am not going to go the extra mile. It's all about how you treat people.

I think thats why this thread took the angry turn it did earlier lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
I would kill them with kindness and facts. Ones that they cannot dispute and tactfully ask them questions in they can ONLY say yes to.

Yelling and screaming gets no one anything. If you're smart enough and think it through and corner them then they don't have much choice.

This is a service I pay for. I respect that. Some rules are a bit overboard and need to be broken and/or not implemented in the first place. 30 days early, 18 days earlier, whatever. It sure as won't cause Dan Hesse to eat off the dollar menu @ Burger King.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkrdc5:
i am a sprint employee for a corp store and we can do the early upgrade 18 days before BUT ur current phone has to be broken or juss does not work the way its suppose to and with proof....if i was you i would wait just because price may dropped who knows u could get a better price.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanmo5:
Cool it guys, no need to talk to each other that way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutswillkillme:
I can see both sides of the coin here, but if I couldn't wait till october to upgrade and bought a phone outright, then listen to my buddy (who I guarantee will do this) tell me how he called sprint and complained for 2 hours until they gave him the full upgrade price I would feel like a tool. And before some all knowing sprint rep tells me this isn't possible, I have managed to accomplish this a couple times and got my way everytime. I feel for sprint employees who deal with crap all day from rude people, and I've personally never taken to a personal level with anyone, but just like everyone else, I would much rather sit on the phone with some random person for an hour and tell them to give me the upgrade price than give sprint 600 dollars of my money just so they can come out with some other phone a month later and give the one I just bought away free with a new contract. Phone companies I assure you are still making quite a bit of profit, nothing personal to any Sprint employee, but if you don't like people being rude to you, you're in the wrong business. And it's dumb to pay extra money for something when it's not necessary. I will not leave sprint but I'll threaten to all day if it saves me money.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabemeyers:
I do this all the time... im a premier account myself, and I just sign up for an additional 2yr when my current 2yr is up, so if my contract were up, and is up, 2011 july... when i get the evo I will have to resign early and my new end date will be july 2013, I shouldnt be due an upgrade untill jan 2011, but im always allowed to do this and have never had an issue.

just be nice!, and ask with a please.

I've been on a 3yr 6month contract before due to this, for that lame duck tp
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bp3dots:
Its sad that not only is it expected that people will be rude to each other fo no reason, but it is also acceptable. Says something about todays society.

As far as paying a bunch of money out of pocket for the phone, that's how I always get mine. Keeps me contract free, and since I only keep them 6-8 months anyway, I just make sure to take good care of them so they're easily sellable and I recoup some of that expense.

Also, the loss for the phone company comes from the fact that they are discounting the original phone (say a hero now) based on a 2 year contract. But at one year the customer upgrades (Evo) and gets another discount before the expected recovery of the original phone's discount is met. (Obviously only applies if the profit has NOT covered the original discount before the early upgrade.) I think it would be cool if they let you trade in your phone that is still under contract in exchange for the chance to upgrade early.

[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Guys if u dont see that hes joking then im sad for u guys :(
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
It doesn't boot because it doesn't have a G1 compatible boot image. If we get a good kernel for it (and optimize all the images to 320*480 and redo some xml files), it should work just fine. But I don't see the point since it's almost exactly like a nexus rom; No custom firmware like sense or blur or anything, just plain old vanilla 2.1. The only thing worthwile would be the apps I guess.
[G1 Android Development] OG:
I told you not to Flash. I laughed pretty hard at you.

Noo I'm pretty serious about this.

Well then can we make one? I think we should take... who evers Kernel you suggest lol. Probably Cyanogens Android 2.1 Kernel. Resizing sould do easy. I don't know how to edit XML's though.

I don't know. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
I would just give it up. There are just too many differences form that phone to the G1 that its close to impossible. To begin, the screen has twice as many pixels as the G1, meaning every single image needs to be resized. It's running stock 2.1 with a couple extra apps/widgets. There is no point in wasting time on this when we already have an almost fully functioning 2.1 rom (cyanogen). The only thing that I see as worthwhile to try to port is nemoplayer, and we already have that just google the apk. If your stubborn though GL.

I am not responsible for any damage done

ADW launcher is an alternative to whatever launcher you currently have. It CAN BE UNSTABLE AT TIMES!

It is very customizable, remember I take no credit for Development, I just found it and thought it might be worth sharing.

Notes:

Only works with 2.1 Eclair ROMS!

Wallpaper shifts down slightly upon unlocking

I have been using it for a while now, and no problems yet.

I have been pleasantly surprised of how popular it has become in one night of bringing it up =0

PM me with any questions.

Yours Truly,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
I use ADW on VanillaEclair 2.0.1 and it runs flawlessly. I highly recommend it; the shortcut keys left and right of the apps menu are incredibly useful, and full support for Live Wallpapers is working and, best of all, optional - turning it off makes things much more responsive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gogibyte:
It works NICE! :> just testing =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Much prefer Helix Launcher, best version of Helix for Hero is 1.2a. Like the fact you can have 4 shortcuts permanent on the bottom (dont like the hidden away ones you can have on ADW).

Also for me ADW isnt as stable and the wallpaper seems to lag behind transitons.
