[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimms:
Hi, i have tried 2 or 3 different guides/how to's and i'm stuck, I have not as much chance as a snow ball in hell to get booting debian on my N1. all the guides are written for use in ubuntu or similar, and i have extremely little knowledge on how to get this working. Is there any possibility to do this from windows(not virtual machine with ubuntu running)?

If, there are a kind soul out there that would write a noob friendly guide on how to do this, preferably how to do it all from windows? :)

Thanks ;)

Hi guys,

I am going on holiday to America, and I will be bringing my HD2 on the vodafone UK carrier with me. My question is, will I be able to stick another sim card in it? I am running a custom rom, but it is not unlocked or anything. Does this mean I must unlock my phone and then I will be able to stick a sim in it?

Sorry if this is a very easy question, any help will be muchly appreciated. I will be in an area with poor AT&T signal, but good Sprint and Verizon if that helps.

Cheers,

Thazandril.
[HD2 General] LiFE1688:
Most phones from Europe are unlocked and use other carrier SIM cards.

I am assuming you are using a HTC HD2 bought from Vodafone. Try using another carrier's SIM card in your HD2, just plug in a friend's SIM card that is not Vodafone and see if it works on your HD2.

The HTC HD2 can be used in USA/Canada to make and receive calls as well as SMS. Basically anything related to GSM can be used. However, for HSPA or 3G, it will not be usable.

USA uses (AWS) 1700MHz / 1900MHz for HSPA, however Europe uses 2100MHz for HSPA. The HTC HD2 European version does not support 1700MHz or 1900MHz HSPA. You will be able to use EDGE though.

Hi guys. I am with problems. First, sorry my english, I am brazilian student of english. I am with my laptop (with Windows 7) and I no can sync folder "My Documents" in the "Storage Card" using Windows Mobile Device Center. I have all files on the PC, after I sync with smartphone (Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard) files are created in a folder "My Documents" in memory of my Moto Q11, which is minimal. Can you help me to sync files from my PC with my smartphone, putting them in the "Storage Card"? Very thanks guys. Hugs from Brazil! Gracias hermaños! :confused:

My camera wont work:mad:. When i start it up, a message pops up saying: Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device. It does the same for the camcorder. Ive tried opening it from its quicklink at home, from the start menu, and in both spots in the pictures and videos tab. Help:(.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Are you running as Stock or custom rom? Has it worked before? Have you tried hard resetting? Need more input:D
[HD2 General] toreone:
factory reset

Looks like it is time for a factory reset. Did you mess with the registry at all!?
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
what do you mean by registry? Also, the only real mod ive done was Cookies home tab.

PS: hard resetting did not work, and yes, it worked a few days ago.
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
stock and custom roms are like actuall mods to the windows software right?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Kinda, are you running a stock?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
"Stock ROM" is the software (including Windows Mobile, HTC Sense, and all the factory-installed apps) that was on your phone when you first bought it. Custom ROMs are what are developed here, and replace the stock one with one that's been tweaked or customized in some way.

If you were running anything but the stock ROM, you would know it because the process to put a new one on there is fairly involved (unless you bought a used phone that already had a custom ROM on it...)
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
Bought my phone new, got it like last week. All and any customizations to my phone were on CAB files.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
I have only had this issue once but I reflashed the rom and it was ok. I would try flashing a stock rom and if that doesnt fix it then it maybe a hardware issue and I would take it to a T-mobile store for a replacement
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
how do i reflash a stock rom, and will it mess anything up? Like my custom home tab, or my programs?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
If you did a hard reset then all your mods should not be there. Flashing a stock rom will remove all the modes you have done. was your modes still there after the hard reset?
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
yes everything was unchanged. And hard resetting is taking out the battery when it is running correct?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
No a Hard Reset is holding the volume down and volume up button and then hit the reset button on the back. Keep holding the volume buttons till you get a grey screen and then follow the directions. This will reset your phone to factory. then install your cabs one by one till you find the one that caused the issue
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
both vol buttons simultaneously??? And that doesnt sound fun, i guess it will be a good idea to back up everything.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yes both at the same time. it is easier then it sounds. yes it would be a good idea to back everything up and remove your SD card when you do it
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
its asking for my serial. where do i get that?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
It should not be asking for your serial on a hard reset. If you are trying to DL a stock rom, do the Hard reset first, I am 99.9% certin it will fix the camera
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
If that finger-dance is a little too tricky, you can also do a hard-reset by going to Settings -> All Settings -> System, and then running the "Clear Storage" icon you'll find there. The buttons method is good to know though, in case you need to hard-reset a totally-locked up phone someday ;)
[HD2 General] zelendel:
I have been doing the hardreset by hardware keys for so long I forgot that was there lol:eek::D Thanks
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You bet! :D I still use the hardware method, both because it just "feels" more absolute, and in case I need to be adept at it if I ever can't get into the software, like last time....and the time before...and.. LOL
[HD2 General] mknewman:
I have problems getting the camera to start but it's because of Out of Memory, and once I kill a few programs it will start up fine. The issue is though that there are 576 megs of memory and PLENTY left when this happens, like 250-300 MB. I realize there are remnants of the 32 MB limit left in 6.5 but can someone explain in a bit more detail what the deal is here?
[HD2 General] kaianuanu:
All fixed thanks everyone
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Glad its fixed. No just go one by one with the cabs to find the one that caused the issue.

hi

i have been noticing for a while now that when i turn on my wifi connction (i don't have any other internet connection for my g1 at the moment) also some other tasks are started.

first there is the "settings" task which i can understand and is basically ok. but suddenly "weather" (widget? which i don't use at all) and the "dolphin browser" (which i have installed, yes) are running too. and a task called "my uploads"

why are these 3 tasks running? i don't want them to. what can i do?

same thing happens when turning wifi off...

and it is not only wifi. background downloading drags the gallery along, BT starts also settings and bluetooth share, bluetooth file transfer (which sound like they are supposed to be running)

edit:

uninstalling the apps with titanium worked for my uploads and the weather widget but i can't really uninstall the rest because well i use them ^^°

T-mobile has an app for Android where you can see your current use of your minutes.

For Apple there is a version for Vodafone.

So, now I'am looking for a Windows mobile version of this app.

please help me out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] henv:
Maybe you must change the title into English. A lot of people wont understand the title. About your question, i don't know if there is such program
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HellStorm666:
I did think of that, but, Vodafone where the data will come from is dutch. So little change for some one to make the programm if he or she cant read dutch ;)

(Did now put it in english to, just in case.

Hope it is clear what I mean with the title)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] empewoow:

i am trying to install some applications on my brand new touch pro 2..

but the bundles of files i get to install is not called .cad files. my computer tells me they are dll files..

anyone care to noob me around a bit ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Sure....what exact files are you downloading? You should be able to tell when you're downloading them that the extension is ".cab"...as long as that's the case, just put the .cab file on your phone and click it to run from there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
in other words. Don't unpack the "cab" files on your computer or phone... just transfer the entire "cab" package to your sd card or phone. Use file explorer (on your phone) to navigate where you have saved the cab files. Select the cab file and the installation will begin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] citizenatlarge:
aaand this too just for the noobness haha.. if you've d/l'd a .cab to your pc and have winrar installed on it.. winrar will show the .cab's icon as that little set of books like a .rar file.. they're both archives, but the .cab doesn't need unpacking.. it's like a windows mobile version of a .exe for the pc.. just saying, i did that too at 1st.. a loong time ago.. haha

My gf has just received her new Desire from MPD, T-mobile contract. Thing is, the phone appears to be branded Virgin, as it has a Virgin Media widget on the homescreen and a virgin scene. I thought MPD sent out unbranded phones, my hd2 was anyway? Anyone else had this?
[Desire General] potter1984:
Your just lucky it virgin, as virgin only do those two and the bootscreen. :)

Everything else is untouched, but it is very odd you got that. Did you ring them up and ask "Why dose my t-mobile contraqct come with a virgin branded handset???" lol
[Desire General] souljas:
Yeah I got the same thing from mpd. There have been a number of threads about this issue before, and I think someone said that it was an issue with stock availability and that HTC shipped some unlocked ones with the virgin widget and home screen. I have had the phone for a month and once its deleted it should never pose a problem again.
[Desire General] amh82:
I haven't spoken to MPD yet, but will do tomorrow if the number hasn't transferred as it currently has no number. Again, with my HD2 I had a temporary number until it transferred.

I did wonder about stock, and just getting whatever was available. At least it's unlocked, and not like a full on 'branded' ROM.
[Desire General] al89nut:
You might also find that the SIM Card says it's a Nokia and that you don't have the 3gb data allowance. See other threads on MPD.

Could anyone please help me out here? It would be very much apreciated!!

Just after I posted the previous message I thought, why not booting into winxp again and try if activesync also syncs the time... well this did the trick for now.

Still, it would be very useful to know how to get to my clock settings again on my touch pro, so all suggestions are still welcome.

Thanks in advance

To remove the new clock.exe, either use sk tools (and the replaced rom file tool), or open up \windows with Total Commander, delete clock.exe and soft reset. That will restore the original one.

Removing Clock.exe and restarting did the trick :)

Alright, so the issue is... I have the SDK... and it won't work on either of the operating systems I run. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7, both 64bit. There are two main aspects I am after with it. Using DDMS to take screenshots and mess with stuff on devices, and the virtual Android system. On Ubuntu, DDMS comes up, but it shows my device as just ?????? and I am unable to do anything. I have already tried putting in the rules thing I found all over google, and it has done nothing. The correct IDs were in as well. On Windows, why I try to use it... it pops up with a command prompt screen for a split second and does nothing. On both Ubuntu and Windows, when I try to use a virtual device, all it does is crashes. This is with all different settings. So, is there anyone that can help me out with these issues? I just spent 3 hours of google searching to no avail. None of the fixes or anything I have found made any difference.

I am having a few issues with email on my desire, and wondered if any of you helpful chaps could point me in the right direction?

I use an Ntlworld account, and when I recieve emails on the device, they appear to be getting deleted from the server, and are therefore not availble in my Inbox on my pc.

I Have ensured that the "Delete mail on server" option in the email settings screen, is definitely not ticked. I have tested the same account on an iphone from a colleague at work, and I can receive emails to the device, and still have them availble on my pc!

This therefore suggests that it has something to do with the email client on the desire, but I am at atotal loss as to what it could be!

If any of you have any ideas, I would be most greatful.
