[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Make sure you are buying the right phone. No sense in buying a CDMA phone if you are going to use it on a GSM network!!!

ps... I've never heard that flashing a non-stock rom will "unlock" the phone. That just doesnt make sense...

Have a read in here 13NOV: CDMA Rhodium Q&A: GSM, 3G Bands, SIM UNLOCK, ESN, IMEI, HARDSPL, ROMS, FM, GPS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SinisterJunkie:
Unlocked devices are typically referring to SIM unlocked, with is not applicable to a Sprint CDMA device as they do not use a SIM. A Sprint phone will only be useable on a CDMA carrier that is willing to add the ESN, which most if not all are not. Verizon and Sprint for example will only active a ESN that is already on their respecive systems and only if that device is clean (not reported lost or stolen).

The GSM SIM can be unlocked, but I doubt that Sprint will be too helpful on a device that doesn't have service through them anylonger. The GSM radios on the Sprint (and other US CDMA Rhodiums) will also not work on the US GSM carriers like AT&T. So it really depends on were you plan on using the device.

Like Aaron McCarthy suggested, you really should look at what frequencies your carrier of choice supports and make sure the device you buy has those.

Roms' don't unlock the phone. Roms are just the operating system. Unlocking is just referring to the SIM card.

:mad:I've had my HD2 since April 1st with no issues until last night. I power it up & it booted up to the lockscreen(With no slide to lock) & froze, I soft reset, removed the batt and nothing help. I then called T-Mobile (jumped through the hoops) and they are sending me a replacement. Any Idea what cause this:confused:
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
What had you done to it? Did you modify the registry? Did you try to hard reset/flash back to stock before calling TMOUSA?
[HD2 General] fabian21:
i bet you flashed an incorrect rom.
[HD2 General] boogieTilt:
Died

I don't do Roms or Flash I'm stock. I was on the phone with T-Mobile and couldn't get it to hard reset:confused:
[HD2 General] srt4cab3:
You probably just had some bad luck and the internals of the phone just failed do to some manufacturing error. I bet its possible. It's good that you're getting a new one.... Now if it happened again with the new phone, then either the HD2 doesnt like you or you dropped it one too many times or its something else that you're doing... lol

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Yay you want my Rosie haha. Basically everything you wanna change is it framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk in /system/framework

Open the apk's, pull out the res folders, find the images you wanna replace and replace them. Then put the res folder back into the respected apk, and put them into an update.zip and sign it. If you dont know how to do the last part I can do it for you ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnusRagnarok:
take the files from the theme elements you like and then replace the ones in the rom youre using with the ones you like. There are many files to edit depending on what you are trying to alter. I suggest editing your own rom before attemting an update.zip theme for us.

Is it possible to activate our Touch phones once Android has been installed? Or do I need to go back to WinMo to activate? Just took possession of my wifes old touch and before I activated it I'd installed 2.1. When I called Sprint to activate it they wanted me to enter some combination of ##XXXXXX# and then it was supposed to do something magical. It didn't.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manifest3r:
Yes, you can only activate it when you're in WinMo
[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
Jesus tits man, that was a fast reply. Thanks! Flashing now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
Yeah, you need to activate and provision your phone's internet before you flash to android.

You can redownload the factory rom here...

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19071

Just flash it, do what the CSR tells you, provision your internet, and then enjoy Android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
Yeah. I didn't have the heart to say "Sorry, Windows Mobile sucks nuts on these phones so I hacked it. Any way we can skip this step?" So I told them I'll call back. I'm flashing it now :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tempe38:
Make sure everything works in winmo before flashing back to android.

How odd that these issues aren't coming to light until the Android explosion.

HTC to pay royalties to Microsoft for Android phones
[General Topics] Rudegar:
I'm thinking that to port sense to android htc used a wrapper with the existing wm gui

so that their android sense code is similar to their wm code

if thats the case hope they refractors to get away from that because it's crazy they have to pay ms
[General Topics] attn1:
You may be right. Still, HTC Sense has been on Android since last years Hero and Eris phones. Not until Android sales exploded did either Microsoft or Apple have much to say about Android one way or another. Funny, that.

I posted this in the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 forum, but I'm reposting here...

Has anyone who upgraded from Opera mobile 9 to 10 found that the default soft keyboard mapped to the HTC TP/TP2 is different than the one in Opera 9 with the ".com" and "/" keys in lieu of the space bar? I have searched quite a few forums and haven't found a solution. In doing some digging through the registry, I see the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\et9 key has keyboard layout files and various KDB files mapped. I don't know enough about the contents of these files, but in looking at them, they look like they're XML stored in hex. I would presume I need a way to map the "om10-ml-mainwndclass" (Opera 10 class ID) to override the default KB and use the one set in Opera 9. Any ideas anyone?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
I can't seem to get the custom recover working on my eris. I followed the "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard

adb push flash_image /system/bin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img

4. Close the command prompt and turn off you phone."

to the tee and everything seemed to work.I didnt recieve any error msg on the cmd console but when I boot up holding the Vol+ and power I get and Android under a ! in a triangle and a message that says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command then I only get 4 options and none of them are to flash a rom so I always reboot system. I really want to put a rom on here but I have no idea what went wrong. Im sorry if this is a redundant post. I combed a hundred of them and couldnt find anything like this. Thank you for any help in advance.

Oh and before I forget I tried the adb fastboot bootloader version as well. Everytime I do it it sits in the command console stating "waiting for device". Im plugged in so I dont understand what Im doing wrong.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfreak:
Curious to know... are you using windows or mac? have you tried:

adb shell reboot recovery

to see if that does anything?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsarn1:
Maybe you have a different version of the recovery saved than I do, but mine is named "recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img"...maybe you just had an input error somewhere along the line? forgot a capital letter or something? I had the same error myself and following the directions I got the recovery image back
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
Im running windows 7 and I have both recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img and the recovery-RA-eris.img. I have been using the v1.6.2 and I just modify the command to look like this "adb push recovery-ra-eris-v1.6.2.img /sdcard" How would I use adb shell reboot recovery would I just sub that in place of something? kinda getting discouraged because I have tried this 10x now. I have checked and the usb debugging is on and I do have the eris 2.1 root and not the leak. I wonder is there any way I can flash this with something from the droid mkt place like SUFBS? Or maybe change a rom's name to look like an update zip?Just looking for ways to make this work Im so jealous of everyone that has got it to work.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
here is another question and it might be that this is why its not working with the fastboot option but on this website's walk through thefuzz4.net it states to "You will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red like it is here" Now Im not a pro at this but what does this mean? How do I highlight text in the command shell? I would post the full url but since Im new it wont let me post urls yet.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkingTaco:
when hes saying fastboot will be highlighted in red he's referring to booting your phone into the standard recovery mode (when power is off) hold volume up and power.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
Walking Taco :D seriously love that name. The only options I get when I hold down vol+ and pwr is 1. reboot system now 2. apply sdcard update 3. Wipe Data/ factory reset 4. Wipe cache partition and all are in purple and at the bottom on the phones screen is "E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command"

The website fuzz4net says to:

WINDOWS USERS

From your tools directory in the sdk do the following command

adb fastboot bootloader

You will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red like it is here

Now on your computer do the following

Fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

Ok after that completes pull the battery then power back up with Vol Up + Power to enter recovery

But when I get done ...after the last step the cmd.exe window states <waiting for device> any ideas? Thanks for helping too. Leave it to me to hit a snare :(
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
almost forgot when it gets to <waiting for device> nothing happens I literally have left and come back 3 hours later and no progress was made :(
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkingTaco:
I honestly don't know man, I would factory wipe it and try and start from the beginning. I followed the fuzz's instructions and was rooted in less than a half hour. Sorry brother.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dachix:
Thanks!

ROOTED!!!!!! Here is what I did:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push recovery-ra-eris.v1.6.2.img /sdcard

adb push flash_image /system/bin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.v1.6.2.img

This was not working until I deleted the spaces in between img/sdcard for all the commands. Then and I do not know why but when I would turn odd my phone the vol+ pwr on it would not work so instead I used the adb shell reboot recovery command like droidfreak suggested then BOOYAH the custom recovery was loaded :D thank you all for helping me.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogiedogie:
I've been spending a few days playing around with screen brightness to see exactly what impact it has on battery life. Yesterday I did my usual max brightness, had to go conservative after 5 hours to make it last home [8 hours], as it was pretty much dead.

Today after 11 hours of MUCH more usage [3 hours of screen compared to maybe 1 hour yesterday] on medium brightness, phone was still an epic 54% battery life.

What Im looking for is if it is possible to put a numerical value/ratio of power consumption of the screen at varying brightnesses, and or if this is possible to add into the battery consumption options. I assume there must be some sort of raw power data for the default ROM to work out percentages of power consumption anyway.

Sorry if this is wrong, but I thought it might be a nice challenge for someone with more (>0) skill than me.

EDIT: s***, only typed half the board name :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anethema:
All you need is a multimeter that can measure current. Just run a wire from one battery terminal to the terminal on the phone, then use your multimeter on current mode from one to the other as well. Then you can see what the current draw is with display on low,on high, then immediatly when you sleep the display. Not too tough. If I get some time later tomorrow I might measure it.

[Nexus One General] D200P13:
is there any way to just press on the screen to wake it up other then pressing the power button or trackball? if anyone has used an iphone i am looking for simply touch the screen to wake it up and sliding to unlock skipping trackball or power button presses. thanks.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
It's possible to wake up the iPhone by touching the screen? Only for jailbroken phones? That's something I've never heard of before.

I don't think that is possible right now, Android would power down the touch sensor to save battery. Just like a stock iPhone does too.

I am interested to know how to do that on the iPhone though, I'd love to do that with my iPod Touch.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
ohh thats right i forgot the iphone has to press the home button to wake it up after a long sleep. my iphone is setup to wait the longest time before going into a sleep so if i am waiting for something the backlight turns off and locks the phone but a press on the screen turns on the backlight waits to be unlocked. oh well would be cool to have on n1 though. thanks for the reply.
[Nexus One General] wraithevolution:
The program "nolock" in the market makes it so you can use either the trackball or volume buttons to wake the phone. Other than that, I think screen wake would kill your battery. Can't say for sure though.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
worth trying this app thanks
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, being an OLED screen, you can't just turn off the backlight. Each pixel is a light all by itself. Otherwise you could probably do the same trick.
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
No lock or keyguard disabler bypass or disable the lock screen. Root and running a custom rom like CM will let you double click the trackball to unlock the and wake the phone. There is also a menu unlock too.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I have no lock and I like it because its one touch and you're rolling. On the other hand the wake up on trackball also enables the volume key to wake up and I was often unintentionally waking the phone so I disabled it. Going to try the menu wake up next. No hardkey to wear out, and combined with one touch I think it might be a winner for quickly lighting up the unit without the unintended wakes.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Menu wake doesn't do what I believe you may think it does, you still have to press the power button to turn the phone on. Then you press menu to skip the lockscreen.. which in my opinion is not needed. I only said this because you said no hard key will be worn out.. but they still will.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
what are you using for that?
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Funny that because I just went to go hunt that one down and found that you are indeed correct, it only acts as an alternative to slide to unlock, it does not wake up the phone. Sigh.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Ya ninja'ed me. I use a free market program called No Lock. Pretty much as its name implies it removes the requirement to slide to unlock, can be toggled. One touch of whatever you are using to wake it up and you are off to the races. A must have for types like me that dont use a lock and would prefer to wake and go. The app does have one niggle. It remembers my setting but at every restart and have to toggle it to get it to work.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
sounds like i must dl it and worth pressing 1 button to wake up without sliding to unlock.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
i see one called mylock that says it automatically starts again after device restart. worth a try.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
If she turns up to be a winner pop let us know.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
yes i must say it works well. i didnt even try the no luck. it also has more reviews fyi. im keeping it. it also has an addon for something idle. im guessing that idle addon disabled the mylock to enter your security after an x amount of sleep time has passed. sounds ok if u want security enabled i guess but most pay a few cents for it. not for me at this point.
