there also seems to be a very gradual shift away from outrageous off-contract prices (FTC pressure maybe?)... nokia smartphones have been reasonably priced off contract (gsm models anyway) for some time now, and while 450 is a bit low it doesn't seem impossible.
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
Yeah, I'm going back to BestBuy today to cancel my preorder. Their are just too many rumors of BB charging $600+. Hopefully I will have luck on my side on June 4 when I go to the Sprint store to buy one.
[EVO 4G General] sgtcody:
$599 off contract confirmed at BB.$450 at Sprint. My Sprint store isn't doing preorders.. looks like I'll be taking the fourth off from work.

$450 from Sprint directly. Periord. End of story. Other retailers such as Best Buy and RadioShack have the ability to raise the price if they want, and it has been confirmed that Best Buy will be gouging it to $600. It has been reported that RadioShack will only charge the standard $450.
[EVO 4G General] forumsid987:
Can anyone confirm the 450 in writing from a sprint store after you paid for a pre-order?

I will go to 20 sprint stores in my area if one will do that for me.

THANKS!!
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Sprint sent out the announcement email with the $450 price, and many people have had them confirm it via support.

[EVO 4G General] forumsid987:
Yeah, I've printed a copy of that announcement from a link someone posted to be safe but what I'm most concerned with is trying to get a pre-order confirmed at that price. I don't want to have to wake up crazy early and then hope that they don't try to screw me that morning of by telling me they are only selling to upgrade customers since those are the people they make money off of. That could very well happen, that's exactly why I want to pre-order.
[EVO 4G General] forumsid987:
Appears that corp stores are NOT taking pre-orders. If anyone finds out different please post about your story.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] afazel:
Will bb price match?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
No. That would completely defeat the purpose of their gouging. I also asked them in-person if they'd match Sprint or RadioShack and they gave me a very firm "no."
[EVO 4G General] watzone69:
I can confirm what TheBiles has posted. For those of us that are not eligible for the upgrade discount Best Buy is the worst place to go! The only thing going for them is that they are the only ones offering unsubsidized pre-orders, at least in Austin.

If I were filthy rich and didn't mind spending an extra $150+ then I would have stayed on the list but... I'm not, I do, so I didn't.

The only thing that's got me a little worried is that the Best Buy employee told me that their store had the second highest number of pre-orders in the nation, (Manhattan is #1). I may camp out at the Sprint store!:p
[EVO 4G General] 0okami:
Athens Ohio 45701 sprint store said $599.00 USD

(but they have not even done their evo training yet or received any documents about it.)

--???--
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
Best Buy won't price match Sprint's online price. However, if you can convince them to price match by calling the store (Which they should do without a problem), they'll price match it down to the cent.

I dont want to have to manually keep connecting my hd2 to the internet to have it change my weather (i havent configured edge on my phone yet and i dont know whether it will keep the connection active with that anyway)

is there a tweak/mod that'll make the hd2 connect to wifi (im usually in a wifi zone), download the weather and then dc?

thatd be so awesome! also i already have that tweak installed that keeps the wifi on all the time even when u put the phone in standby mode...

[Desire General] Pavelol:
well. i got my desire 2 weeks ago and 2-3 days ago i just rooted it by paul's guid and installed modaco custom room for HTC Desire with online Kitchen includes A2SD+ and radio update.

after rooting i had the generic rom and the gps worked fine but after i installed the custom room the gps stop working and cant find the satellites.

even i try the compass and still it doesn't give me the coordinates.

same with navigator.

so can i reupdate only the radio?

don't want to go back to the generic rom :\

btw i just tryied to upgrade my radio update and in the recovery mode it's says: "signatue verfication faild installation aborted".

i downloaded the zip file and changed the name to just "update" (no needed .zip cuz the file itself in zip) and move to the sd card and its always faild like i said above.

any ideas? :<

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pympster:
Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to set default settings i.e. ringtones, backgrounds etc?

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starchildx:
i think it is in the build.proc too. but i'm not sure....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pympster:
Yes it is thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
I assume there was a typo in the 1st reply andit was really 'build.prop' you meant?

I am also trying to set some defaults in my ROM but changing the entries in the build.prop didn't change the default ringtone and notification sound. I am wondering if this is a theme thing and it gets overwritten when the default theme is activated?

I changed these lines in build.prop:

ro.config.ringtone=voodoo.mp3

ro.config.notification_sound=Weight.mp3

And neither were set in my ROM after I wiped and flashed.

Any ideas?

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
That is how you set the defaults. I would make sure names are correct.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
That's what I thought but the mp3 files are there in the ROM and I can select them if I wish to change the sound manually - the Weight.mp3 file is a standard one that is included by default, voodoo.mp3 is one I have added. However following a wipe and re-flash the ringtone defaults to QuietlyBrilliant.mp3 and the notification to Zeta.mp3.

There must be something else that gets involved?

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netwokz:
I've always done it that way with cm. Where are you putting your files in your rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
I am only adding one audio file (the ringtone), the other file is one that's already in the ROM. I am adding the ringtone to /system/media/audio/ringtones.

I re-checked my syntax and that the files were all there, built another ROM and it now works. I am wondering if I didn't wipe the system properly (or at all) last time I flashed.

So anyway its working now.

Thanks, Andy

[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
OK, this is possibly going to be a very silly question, but please take me seriously (I guess the reason for this question is that I'm a new HD2 user, and so I'm still trying to set it up "just right")...

When I discovered that the contacts on the "People" tab are automatically sorted (alphabetically) and cannot be manually reassigned... I made this face: :eek:

What's the point of having a fast-dial tab if you cannot assign it the way you want to? :confused:
[HD2 General] Archer:
They're not automatically sorted alphabetically. I don't know what you've done to make it like that because there's no sorting option. Have you installed anything recently?
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
the people tab is there so you can put who you want where ever and choose call or txt option it should be in the order yu put them
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
When you add them, they appear to be in the order in which you put them in... but if you restore contacts via synch with Outlook, they're in alphabetical order.

In either case, it seems impossible to rearrange them, which is why I'm baffled; does the system assume someone will fill that list perfectly on the first try?
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
the same if you use PIM Backup... i hate that too...
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
personally dont see the point in the people tab anyway :D
[HD2 General] Archer:
So it's restoring from Outlook that is the problem then. You suggested that the tab itself was re-ordering what you did!

Yes, I'm afraid you're stuck with that. The people tab is somewhat lacking in some areas. That's why most people don't use it and just use the home tab instead. At lease you can rearrange the quicklinks on the home tab (with mods).
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Apologies; on reflection, I see it may have seemed that way.

So I'm not alone in feeling that it's usefulness is limited. Cookie makes this such a far better deal...

I wonder if it would be possible to substitute the People page for a page of "cookie" links... While this one is kind of useless, tabs are generally cool. ;)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ahh now you mention it, some months ago when i set mine up, the next time i restored the order changed, but its not alphabetical, its based on with think is the contact reference number. it hasn't changed since.

in the registry, find

hkcu/software/htc/people/favoriteorder

and you will see what i mean.

i'm not at a pc so i can't examine what the numbers are.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I just use QuickLinks now - but if you want the tabs to stay in the right order, sync using the MS My Phone app - I'm pretty sure they come back exactly where I put them
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
I have found the registry link to keep your favourite contacts in the same order after a hard reset. Will post it in the new forthcoming update in the hints and tips thread tonight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] koskol:
Hello,

Im interested in adding one (or more) tabs to the Manila slider, and specifically a tab that would have a similar cover flowing interface with HTC Album (or HTC ereader) but would be only showing files (movies) from a pre-specified folder, and played when selected with a prespecified player (tcpmp, etc).

Is this possible? Would it be possible to copy/reproduce the Pictures & Videos tab or the eReader tab, rename it "Movies" and link it to a specific directory and player?

Ive searched the fora for something similar but only found the Manila TV tab app. Any ideas, suggestions or thread directions will be most welcomed!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RichmondoUK:
yeah a video tab would be awesome. looks for avi mp4 etc which also has a preview like thumbnail in windows
[Android Software Development] azminisk8r:
Many people have gone to sedio for more battery life out of the power sucking android phones to attempt to get the most that they can out of their phones, including myself.

Unfortunately, as seen in this thread: droidforums.net/forum/droid-accessories/9569-seidio-2600mah-extended-battery-77.html

extensive research has been put into the issues that the droid(and im assuming other devices)'s firmware was built to estimate battery for the original battery pack, and can not adjust when a larger pack from sedio(ranging between 1700 mah and 2800 mah) is put in.

There are also no apps to correctly read the batteries, with the closest thing to an accurate battery read is battery left which calibrates itself based off of mv and battery life, which is mediocre at best.

I know there are lots of dev's over here that are significantly smarter and better at modifying the system than most over there, and since alldroid is permanently gone as of now, I figured this would be the best resource for help.

Any dev willing to take on the project, there are many people in the listed thread with research in the project, but not the knowledge to fix the firmware, that im sure would not mind paying for an accurate read app.
[Android Software Development] kc2zkk:
I know this is an old topic, but there really hasn't been any advances on this and I am getting annoyed by my incorrect battery readings. Battery left does an OK job, but it still goes down to 1% way before it should, even though I have calibrated it over and over again.

What we need is a simple battery app that will let you define at what voltage your battery is at 100%, 90% etc.

[HD2 General] Sallcho:
Hello,

My phone has 4 number security code you have to enter when the phone's being unlocked(did in settings, default winmo lock but HTC made an unlocking skin on it).

I've taken out a battery while the phone was on, then turned it back again in 3 hours. I move the unlock image, and as usual dialpad appears asking for security code. I enter as I usually do and it says INVALID CODE. I'm like - WTF? Tried again, nothing. Tried dozens of times, nothing. Reboot doesn't help. Now it even stopped saying INVALID CODE, when you press the unlock button it doesn't do anything.

I had the "lock" feature working fine for weeks.

QUESTION: What to do(without hardreset)? Phone is set to sync when USB connected, Windows Mobile Device Centre says unlock your phone first before sync. I can't do anything, can't make call(i can receive it), can't check messages or anything, i can't unlock it ffs! Help please, any ideas are welcome
