Have guy one set it up and mail it to guy 2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woovie:
Okay so I should just send them the money for the phone and get it shipped to me... Simple enough. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouspyro:
Or... You could always have your friend call customer service or go into a local store and have him notate that he authorizes you as a user to make changes to the account. Make sure he gives your full name and requests that a manager set it as a priority note. Once he does that make sure that YOU have either the pin number or the answer to the security question and you are set to do whatever you need to do in your own local store or via telesales.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Jason8|:
You might want to keep your phone number and port it to Sprint. Sprint has a $100 porting credit that you can get, and it'll cut the price of the phone in half. You can then call up Verizon and have them give you a new number when it's all said and done.

It's worth $100. :) I'm doing the same for AT&T.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woovie:
I would do that except my old phone was stolen ( Touch Pro 2 ) and I am still on contract with no intent of canceling my plan yet. I had looked into that but I'd need a lot of money to cancel my Verizon plan. Too poor to do it right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Have you seen this in writing? Friend wants to port to Sprint, and I heard rumors about this but can't find the details anywhere.

Also, porting your number over from Verizon, terminates the verizon contract immediately. Then you get your ETF bill.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
The details are here...but it says it is for business accounts only...

[HD2 General] Oo Alias oO:
Hey,

Never really thought of this until now.

Basically, I have a router with 3 PC's and a TV connected to it. I can open Windows Media Player on the computers, enable streaming, and the TV can watch videos, play music and view pictures from the PC's.

Now I was wondering if the HD2 is capable of allowing the TV (or PC's) to connect to it so they can view/play the pictures/videos/music off it...

Its a long shot, and I dont have a clue how the app "Streaming Media" works. But as the HD2 has Windows Media...

Thanks :D
[HD2 General] airwater9:
There is a post that answers this recently added. You need a program which handles DNLA which was pulled off of a Samsung and it works very well.
[Desire General] larsmarius:
I've tried to search but cant find a guide how to make a backup of my phone... if someone can explain or post me a link, i will be a happy man :D
[Desire General] The Professor:
Root phone.

Power off.

Hold volume down and power the phone on, and enter recovery mode.

Get into recovery menu (recoverywhatever.sh on *NIX or recovery-windows.bat)

Scroll to backup/restore in recovery menu.

Select backup NAND only - backing up EXT causes errors right now.

Find saved nandroid on your SD card.

Back up your apps separately using Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro. Restore by wiping the phone, restoring the NAND, and restoring the apps via one of the above apps.
[Desire General] cedeel:
You need root for nandroid. Then it's done in recovery.
[Desire General] larsmarius:
its rooted, but when i go into the recovery menu, the phone just shows a picture with a red triangle, is that correct?
[Desire General] The Professor:
No. Get back into the green recovery menu by running recovery-windows.bat or whatever method you used in step 2 of the rooting process to flash the rooted zip file.
[Desire General] larsmarius:
ok thnx :)

one more thing, the titanium backup said i need busybox, how do i install that?... Found out myself :P
[Desire General] andcham50:
Did you get this problem solved as I have the same problem. I re rooted my desire and the same thing happened. The only time i can go to recovery is when I use recovery-windows.bat from the r5 tools. Any help?
[Desire General] tommo123:
i just use rom manager. choose backup in there, phone reboots itself, backs itself up and done.

used the recovery options a few times when moving from rom to rom.
[Desire General] daftpunk9050:
ClockworkMod Recovery tool

ClockworkMod Recovery tool is really handy. Does everything itself in few clicks. I used Rom manager to backup with no problems without any previous experience.
[Desire General] rocho:
installed rom manager and when choosed backup curret rom it asked for desired name then tap ok and reboots, now its freeze into htc slash screen :(
[Desire General] escob3do89:

Edit:

I accidentally posted on the wrong thread...
[Desire General] puredesire:
Are there still problems with this?

"backing up EXT causes errors right now.":confused:
[Desire General] hojnikb:
I have one question.

If i make a nandroid backup, does it make a FULL nand backup or just certain parts of nand ?

If i for example make a backup of my leedroid rom with all my apps and settings

make wipe and then try a gingerbread rom, will restoring nandbackup actually restore the prevision rom with all the settings and apps ?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
It will restore the entire rom to the exact state as the time before the nandroid. So yes all settings and apps will be there.
[Desire General] hojnikb:
Great to know..

Thx ;)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Is it worth rooting for a backup?

Also will a new OTA just remove root if or when another OTA comes out... ?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
No there is not a real point in rooting for the ability to back up. And despite what some say, never apply OTA updates on rooted devices! But custom versions will come out at the same time as the OTA so you don't miss out on anything.
[Desire General] jult:
What's an OTA update?
[Desire General] reaper7881:
Just install rom manager then click on back up . Boom you have a nandroid back up.
[Desire General] reaper7881:
Ota update is

Over the air update so its basically stock updates from phone manufactures
[Desire General] jult:
Ah, you mean those scammers like m:iq (miqlive) where they suddenly stop distributing their app only because they find out they can't handle the load from all those people using their free service.
[Desire General] reaper7881:
??? No idea what your on bro. Lol ota is eg Updating the phones operating software android 2.1 to 2.3 ovet the air via wifi or 3g

Lolp
[Desire General] Juls317:
Ok, I backed up my Samsung Vibrant 4G using SuperOneClick and it went off without a hitch. I installed various root-only apps like Titanium Backup, SGS Tools (to remove bloatware), etc. Now i want to flash a Gingerbread ROM because they haven't released the official update yet. I know that i should make a NANDROID backup and I know I have to use ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod which i did. But when I boot into recovery I only get the option: "Reboot System Now", "Reinstall Packages", "Clear User Data" and "Clear Cache". So obviously I'm missing the Backup/Restore option. Am I missing a step? Is the CWM flashing to the right SD Card? does that matter?
[Desire General] m_reyna_16:
quick question.... if i do a nandroid backup, will all my settings be backed up or will just my media be backed up?
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Everything will be backed up, think of it like a windows recovery disk that you create.
[Desire General] 777ace:
A nandroid b/u is basically a snapshot of exactly how your phone is at the moment you do the backup. So, if you install a new ROM, but find that you don't like it, or have some problem with the install, all you need to do is nandroid restore and your phone will be exactly as it was before that flash...

I actually backup once a week, since I am very ocd. You can delete old backups through ROM Manager...I usually keep the two most recent.
[Desire General] jan_axhell:
I have done a nadroid backup with ROM Manager, so it is clear to me that if I flash another ROM, I can switch back to the current one. But what about the Titanium backup? If I flash a new ROM, I suppose I can restore all my apps, but what about settings? I want to switch from Virtouos-Fusion to "normal" Virtuous: will the settings backupped with Titanium be restored to that new ROM?

EDIT: Mmm, I've read the Q&A in the Virtuous ROM page and it seems that no, system settings get lost between ROM switch. So Titanium Backup is good for apps only in this case.
[Desire General] bankaihollow:
Press "menu" button or "home" button. You should see recovery options now.
[Desire General] LA_:
Can somebody please help me with the following?

I've made backup of my HTC Desire (Android 2.2) with ClockworkMod, everything was OK (just one error was shown that sd-ext not found - believe, this is ok). When I've restarted device from ClockworkMod menu, my device didn't boot (was showing HTC logo and rebooting). So, I've restored everything (again with ClockworkMod), but in result not everything was restored - apps are not restored, even there is no Market application.

Do I still have a chance to restore everything?
[Desire General] Juls317:
The sd-ext thing is fine. What rom are you using
[Desire General] LA_:
official HTC Android 2.2
[Desire General] Juls317:
Hmmmmm. Let me think. Did you try and advanced restore
[Desire General] LA_:
what should I choose in Advanced restore?

[General Questions and Answers] Aeternium:
Yup, I'm still confused.

When I got my i900, (one year and a half ago) the package got a GPS app, which I installed and TRIED to use.

It wasn't, at least for me, user-friendly, so a few months ago, when I made a hard-reset , I started to find what would be the best GPS App for windows mobile 6.1.

Can you guys, point me your favorite GPS apps, form i900, please?

Thx in advance.

[G1 Apps and Games] s15274n:
I have a 1.6 ROM, buddy has 2.1.

He (unlike me) downloads torrents with paid apps.... I was looking through about 700 of them on his Droid. Some that I clicked on were asking for permissions (mostly: Phone State and Identity) which were NOT showing up on my phone while looking at the same app (same version too) in the Market.

Any idea why the difference in permissions requested from the app? He has installed some of the apps and not noticed any ill consequences. I just warned him of the risk and that some of the difference may be the OS (1.6 vs 2.1).

Also, any security apps that really work I should tell him about? Seems crazy to me, but maybe they do serve a purpose?

Thank you!
[G1 Apps and Games] s15274n:
Anyone? I hope you guys are answering because you think I am using illegal downloads or something... that is NOT the case! I only have like 6 paid apps, and I did pay for them, ha.
[G1 Apps and Games] s15274n:
bump... someone has to know the answer to this. Trying to make sure my buddy is not putting bad stuff on his phone...
[G1 Apps and Games] s15274n:

[G1 Apps and Games] ady:
Permissions are there for a reason. If an app require permissions which it shouldn't then there is something fishy going on. Of course if he is broke and has no credit or bank account to loose anyway then it hardly matters.

I just received an update for my Desire over the air. The new version number is 1.20.207.3. Does anybody know what is contained within, or where I can find details on it? HTC.com doesn't seem to have anything.

http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10431-o2-go-live-with-htc-desire/

Something to do with this?
[Desire General] DaveWhiteNet:
Seems to be, thanks for point that our to me ritdaw. Interestingly enough I am not an O2 customer, although this seems to be an unlocked O2 phone. I bought it direct from a shop without a contract, and originally though it was just an HTC Desire, not an O2 HTC Desire.

However, my provider is a mvno who piggy-backs on the O2 network. Maybe this explains how the phone was able to contact the O2 update server?
[Desire General] Raul Duke:
I bought a sim-free desire and put an o2 simplicity card in it. Not had any update though :(

edit. wrong thread sorry.

That's cause the update isn't for your unit - it's likely to be an o2 FW update

[HD2 General] MisterFixit:
Can someone please shed any light on why I might have intermittent volume button working issues and a seemingly permanent send key not working issue.

I have had a few tweaks installed like co0kies home tab and editor, percent battery and task manager but after restoring ROM I still get the same issues.

I have flashed a HTC ROM to replace the one the phone came with because it cleared the T-Mobile branding etc. Have I got wrong ROM for radio etc?

The volume only seems to work by going to start then tapping phone and then trying the volume button.

Is it possible I have a hardware issue with the call pickup (send) key which is causing this?

I'm also losing battery life without and my phone only lasts about 12hrs even with data connection, wifi & bluetooth turned off.

I'm going mad at present, fed up with resetting back to factory defaults without really noticing any difference.

Please please someone help me!!

Because I live in a cloudy country, I never have the Sense weather animation turned on. It just keeps on filling my screen with the white clouds, which doesn't make Sense looking quite good.:(

But the weather animations are pretty cool, so I made a CAB to disable a few clouds. Unfortunately the whole raincloud is gone too, but that doesn't seem to be a big problem to me. ;)

Installation:

Copy and install the CAB from the attachment

Softreset / restart device

Uninstall:

Uninstall cab in "Remove programs" section. Default clouds will be back again.

[Update May 19]

I seem to have missed a cloud when creating the cab, which was still purple for testing purposes. :D

Cab is updated now, cloud is gone ;)

[Update 2 May 19]

It seems another purple cloud slipped into the cab, updated to v3.

No I can't. these clouds are the same as the overwhelming clouds on your homescreen. the cab doesnt change the animations, it removes the overwhelming clouds. Unfortunately these where also used in the raincloud :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alanjp3:
Thanks so much - I live in very cloudy Belfast and now I can use the animated weather at last! As for future improvements, I agree a cloud would be good with the rain amination. Also the single cloud symbol on the homescreen is not centered - it's offset to the left on my device. These very little things aside - your hard work in developing this enhancement to sense 2.5 is really appreciated. Thanks!
