[HD2 General] chip0:
Just curious, if i install a custom rom on my hd2 do i still have to unlock it to use it on at&t?
[HD2 General] iwin2000:
yea you do, the ROMs don't unlock the device.
[HD2 General] chip0:
Ok thanx, so how do i unlock it then? All the sites ive found want to charge...is there a way to do it for free?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No, unless you are a T-Mobile customer there is no free way to unlock it. Seriously though, its like 12-15 bucks...not that much in the grand scheme of things since you only have to do it once.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BcNexus:
Hello all,

Can you help me with these questions? I'd really appreciate it.

1. When I hit the top button, my Incredible locks. I have to unlock it with a password because of Exchange Active Sync policies. Can I instead make it go into a simpler "slide-to-unlock" mode with the top button before the password lock kicks in later?

2. Running stock (out of the box), can it read me my text messages? If not, what app do you recommend?

3. "Install Voice Data" is grayed out in the TTS settings. Does that mean I can't install it or is it already installed?

4. Voice dial gives me only one chance to get a command right. I say a command and I only get "OK" or "Cancel" on the screen.

All of the my previous phones would say aloud what it thought I said and ask me if it was correct or if I wanted to try again. Can the Incredible do that? If not, is there an app that can?

5. No dedicated hard button to activate voice dial or the phone dial pad. Do I need to pair a headset to get functionality like that?

6. Voice dial doesn't recognize first name, last name. It's last name, first name. I forget where, but I can change that, right? Where's that setting?

I appreciate any help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
5. If you hold the search button on the lower right of the phone it goes into voice mode. From there you can search your phone & voice dial from there.

6. Are you sure about that, mine seems to be working correctly by doing the above.

I can make outgoing calls, receive incoming calls, but weird thing is, THERE IS NO SOUND ??!

Speaker is fine, I can listen to music, videos, screen taps etc all work fine, even notification sounds are all good, but when it comes to speaking, no one can hear me at the other end!!! and I cant hear them either.

Is it something to do with the phone or the service provider ? If its the provider how come I can make outgoing calls and receive incoming ones ??????? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

PLEASE SOMEONE ADVICE.

is it possible to get root access in htc magic without reinstalling a rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Use any of the rooting methods you see, follow the step where they downgrade to 1.5 and install the patches and recovery. At this point you stand rooted.

Do not flash a new rom and you are good to go.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Jboxen:
Anyone know the .apk name of the nexus lock screen in the system/app folder?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
I dont believe there is a apk for it as if you remove htclockscreen.apk it gives you the n1 lockscreen.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Jboxen:
Right. I did that in evil Eris 2.0 and it has a background picture rather than being transparent. I'm trying to locate the .png it is loading so I cam change it to a transparent one.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WalkingTaco:
no one has figured out how to make it transparent again, i read it was being looked into. i prefer the background as it doesnt conflict with my htc clock on the home screen.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Macros617:
so if i remove the htclockscreen.apk from my eris it will just use the n1 lockscreen?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Jboxen:
Yes this is true
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Macros617:
this may be going a bit out of the way but how do i remove it?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dianeofarcadia:
using root explorer

go into system>app>

long press on HtcLockScreen.apk

choose move and paste on your sdcard or you can choose to delete.

(I choose to save it incase I want it for later)

reboot phone and you should see the changes.

(for EE2 users) Just so you know, as of right now, you can not change the image for the Nexus Lockscreen. (I have tried a few times and for whatever reason it will not accept the change, it sends my phone into a loop)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Macros617:
before i do this what's ee2 user? I have the eris on 2.1 leak 3
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jearl75:
EE2= evil eris 2, it's a rom for those that are rooted. If you are on the leak, no root, then you can't make this change.

So if HTClockscreen.apk was deleted... anyway to get it back?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jpen:
i tried to delete it with root explorer but it is saying it is a read only and i cant delete it...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Make sure you have read/write mode on. You can also remove using adb
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jpen:
im not very familiar with android...just bought the phone and just got the root explorer so im not sure how to do the read/write mode on thing
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Using rootexporer, just open the folder you want to remove the apk, at the very top, you will see it says mounted as r/o and then a button that says mount R/W. Hit that button. Now you can remove/edit files in that dir.

Piece of advice. If you are truly interested in learning your phone, look into adb commands. There are a few programs listed on this forum that do it for you or you can learn the commands yourself and just enter them via cmd line.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] nesgodawg:
This will only work if your phone is rooted correct? Won't work on nonrooted or leak v3?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jpen:
is he right? cuz im not rooted i just have the official 2.1 and yea im not seeing the mount R/W option..
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] nesgodawg:
Yeah, after doing some research it does turn out you have to be rooted. I'm trying to adb my phone now and keep getting blocked out.

You have to root first.

Awesome, I had some trouble with the syntax in the update script but got some help from some good posts, and a few failed attempts!

I think I got it working, my custom bootscreen is currently on, but for some reason I think it moved my dalvik-cache from my sd to ROM, not sure how that is going to work out...haha.

See if it all worked once I'm booted.

I did have a number of failed flash attempts so I'm going to restore my nandroid and restart, make sure we're good, then re-flash my update.zip and see if it fixes itself.

I tihnk it could be the dalvik cache is too much (considering how many apps I have installed, etc.) and its causing problems.

Not sure what would have reset the DC.conf file....Oh well...here's to troubleshooting!

UPDATE

Got it up and running. :)

First time I've zipped and signed files. Now I just have to get the courage to edit and make themes! LOL.
[HD2 General] jcc266:
I deleted the following shortcuts "Transformers", "MobiTV", "Market Place" and "YouTube" from Windows/Start Menu/Program, thinking they were redundant since they were already on the home screen. But while the icons are still on the home screen, I can't get to the four programs by tapping on the icons; instead, I got the error message about "Shortcut Target" saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".

I was able to find the "MobiTV" and "Transformers" folders, but I could not create shortcuts from the .exe files since the "Create shortcut" was gray and did not respond to taps. My questions are: (1) How do I re-create those four shortcuts that would make the icons on the home screen work again? and more generally, (2) How do I create shortcuts (gray-colored) for any .exe files? Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I know that the "Total Commander" app let's you create links where File Explorer doesn't, but I've never actually messed with that part of the app very often.

Tons of folks are complaining about the movie icon, as far as I know no one has found a way to fix it once you break it :(
[HD2 General] Zentury:
You got it the wrong way round.

First, click on "Copy" option for the exe file that you wish to make a shortcut.

Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, click on "Menu", the option "Paste shortcut" should be available now.

:)
[HD2 General] jcc266:
Re-created shortcut for MobiTV, but not for the other three

After seeing your answer, I realized I should have performed them on my HD2, instead of on my synced desktop PC! As long it is a .exe file, a shortcut can always be created for it on Windows program page by using the method you described. Thanks Zentury!

However, I could only recover (re-create) the shortcut for MobiTV since it is a single .exe file. I could not even find where the .exe files are for YouTube and Market Place to re-create the shortcuts for them... As for Transformers, since it is a folder with two .exe files, I could only create shortcuts for each of the two separately on Windows program page, and the icon on the home screen still does not work. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
As for the Transformer Shortcuts use the cab posted, The other exe your looking for are in the windows folder on the phone. You Could always reinstall marketplace, for that shortcut.
[HD2 General] jcc266:
Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?

I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?! In Market Place folder, there is only one tiny file called ClientLog0 (263B); and in YouTube folder, there are four folders and hundreds jpeg files.... I did the search on my desktop PC for files in HD2 and know there is one YouTube.exc but don't know which specific folder it is in... Without getting to these .exe files, I don't know how to restore/reinstall the shortcuts for them. Please kindly advise. Thanks.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
it doesnt matter where you copy the cab file do as long as you know where it is, once it is on the device use the file explorer to find it and run it. Try this cab for the other 2 link files
[HD2 General] jcc266:
I tried the Transformers.cab on my Device but failed to install because of "not sufficient system permissions". Earlier, I found Transformers.lnk in Device Windows and paste it on Windows/Start Menu/Program. Tapping on the home screen Transformer button will take me to the two Transformers movies, but I lost the nice Transformers icon on the home screen; instead, I only got the boring old Windows icon in its place. How do I get the nice Transformers icon back on the home screen?

I got YouTube shortcut back to work OK now, but Marketplace shortcut still does not work. The .cab file for Marketplace installed without any error message ("successfully installed on your device") and the Marketplace icon stays on the home screen, but tapping on it does not take me to its web page. Can you suggest anything I can try? Thanks again.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
I would just reinstall the marketplace cab and that should fix it. Not real sure on the icon.
[HD2 General] jcc266:
I reinstalled the Marketplace.cab file a few times on my Device, still no luck - tapping on its icon on the home screen won't point to the right web page, only the same error message...:confused: The strange thing to me is there seems no .exe file for Marketplace on the device, so ... how did it ever get started?
[HD2 General] Zentury:
Hi, just catching up with the latest on your problem resolution. (Note: I'm on the other side of the ocean.) :)

I took a look at the contents of Marketplace.lnk on my HD2 and the file location is "\Windows\WMMarketplace.exe".
[HD2 General] jcc266:
Thank for taking the time to look it up - now I know why I couldn't find its .exe file on the device: it's WMMarketplace.exe, not just Marketplace.exe! Next time when I do the "search", I will use the wild card symbol * in the search string. Some valuable lesson learned!

Anyway, the shortcut problem for Marketplace was solved last night after I found another Marketplace.cab (116kB) provide by zelendel in another earlier xda forum thread. The youtube & marketplace.cab file I've been using and did not work is only about 2kB in size so apparently was not a good .cab file.

The only remaining "missing shortcut" problem I have is now changed to "missing icon" for Transformers on the home screen. The two Transformers.cab files I got from the xda forum all have the error message "not sufficient system permissions" when I tried to install them. Since the installations were "unsuccessful", the ugly blank-look icon in place for Transformers on the home screen still keeps staring back at me :(...

Anyone got a Transformers.cab to share that would not cause the "unsuccessful" verdict and would restore the nifty Transformers icon on the home screen? Thanks!
[HD2 General] Thai-wronghorse:
Ive just downloaded that Transformers cab thinking it was going to the movie file or some funky robotic program and all i got was a shortcut leading to nothing?? :confused:
[HD2 General] Thai-wronghorse:
Hmm, now how the hell do i remove it? Ive deleted the cab file but the shortcut is still visible on the start menu.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You probably aren't running the Tmo ROM, right? The transformers link only opens up the player for the movies that are provided to tmo owners on the included 16GB SD card...so all you did was indeed install a "link to nowhere".

You'll need to navigate to /windows/start menu on the phone, and delete the "transformers.lnk" file there.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
there is an app on freewarepocketpc.net called "LnkMgr", that you can use to create shortcuts ...

works ok ..

[Nexus One General] Erigion:
I was wondering if anyone else was running into something like this.

I have a T-Mo band N1 with AT&T service so I max out at EDGE, but something strange happens when I'm calling people from my house. Sometimes the other person will just stop hearing me but I can still hear them, it seems to fix itself after a random amount of time but sometimes it doesn't. But before the two way connection is reestablished one party has usually ended the call.

The strange part is when the call is ended I see that my connection has switched over to GPRS and after a few seconds it will switch back to EDGE. I assume that the switch from EDGE to GPRS during the call and that's when the other person can no longer hear me. When I start the call I have 3 or 4 bars on EDGE so I don't know why my N1 would switch to GPRS during the call.

This doesn't happen when I'm outside, but this happens when I'm not wandering around my house so the signal should be pretty stable. It has happened whether I'm holding my phone in my hand or it's sitting on my table with the speaker activated. There have also been times when I've spent an hour or two on the phone at home without this happening at all.

Anyone else having this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
