I think the biggest problem is having customer support and technical support. Since apple and Sony have their own support departments its easy for them to sell online.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Google jumped in with both feet, true. Technical support has largely been hashed out, lesson learned. I think Google wanted in and I think they still want in. The trick is trying to show them they can have their cake and eat it too. Making the effort costs us nothing, not making the effort makes us the sheep that the carriers bring to the slaughter.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
How about an online petition and a never ending email campaign to Google pointing them to the petition?
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Thats kinda the concept that I am thinking of attn1 but I don't know how to go about it. Google has built a sales apperatus, its built a store front, its built a support mechanism, all we are asking is that they not shelve those tools that are already in place as they venture forth on a new direction. They are paid for, they work, the support themselves. There is no reason I can think of off hand why they cannot do this and several benefits to Google. But first you have to get their ear...
[Nexus One General] MarcP :D:
This. Start it and it shall be signed.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Technically they have done this before.

The T-Mobile G1 was also sold by Google as the ADP1 (Android Developer Phone 1) and the Magic/myTouch 3G was sold by them as the ADP2. But, you had to register as an Android developer to order one.

Originally I thought the Nexus One was simply going to be the ADP3 with a more open ordering process. The fact that they are handing out free N1s at developer conferences and to their employees indicates it will continue to have that status whether or not it continues to have "direct to consumer sales" status.

Since they still need ways for developers to get unlocked phones for new development they will likely continue to sell the N1 in some capacity even if/when they hand over standard sales to the carriers. It may be that you would need to register as a developer, though, but I doubt they would stop selling it entirely as then the Magic/ADP2 would be the most up to date phone that they provide their developers and that isn't a great situation...
[HD2 General] imtimduh:
Please don't say use google, i have been on the phone with htc, on countless treads trying to do this. None of them helped.

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 and a win6.5 HTC HD2.

I cannot connect using remote desktop,

I have tried, open ports, firewalls down, allowing the remote to access, Lan/Wireless Ips, 3 Different HTC HD2 phones.

My phone and laptop running on same router, my router is a 2wire 2701HGV-B

I am open to any suggestions besides flashing due to that i don't know how to do it and i don't want to brick my phone.

My ROM is 2.10.531.1 and my radio is 2.08.50.08_2 if that helps.

I would appreciate help and suggestions if you have any. Thanks!

What version of W7 do you have ? Remote desktop will only work with professional or ultimate. If you are running home premium it will not work.
[HD2 General] imtimduh:
i am running home edition but i heard you can still run remote desktop with home. hmmm
[HD2 General] HtcMeo:
Actually, this is a problem for me too. I'll buy Win7 soon and i must know if i need the professional version.. otherwise i'll just stay with home edition witch is more than enough for me..

I can assure is works very well (even in landscape mode) with the Ultimate RC i am using now.

For Home Premium users like myself, you need to follow the instructions on This Website

Gday everyone, ive just been looking around and i found that there is a Rugby Union and Cricket app to view all games and updates of the game each week but i cant seem to find a Rugby League app.

Im just wondering if there is one and if not would someone be very kind to maybe create one?

Thanks for your time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gamecore:
So i guess there isnt a app for rugby league, how hard is it to create one, lol or do i need to know about coding and stuff like that?

If so then ill have to let it be, ( :( )

or anyone creative :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gamecore:
Sorry to bump this topic but im wondering if anyone has made an app or has come across one for the HD2's?

If ninemsn has made a Union and a Cricket one how would we go to maybe hassle them for a NRL app?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] H3PO:
Hi there,

I've got a simple problem to solve: When in my car, I have my Raphael plugged to the car stereo with a cheap ExtUSB Adapter. The phone recognizes the adapter as a Headset, but I don't have a microphone attached.

When someone calls, I want to use the headset Audio but with the handset microphone.

Is there any easy solution for this? Putting the phone to speaker mode works sometimes, but the phones speaker isn't loud enough for most situations.

thx, h3po
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] H3PO:
push...

another situation, same problem:

I just bought a cradle for my Raphael which happens to have a built in microphone and a line-out jack, which I do not plan to use. But when I plugin my handset, it goes to headset mode and I cannot hear the ringtone when the phone rings.

I can't believe there's no way to choose the speaker output =/
[G1 Android Development] chrisgto4:
I recently got the app Rom Manager and with it came the clockwork recoverymod. I loved all the new recovery features, especially the change name of backup and flash which ever back up u want not just the most recent. I set up the latest roms dwang1.6, cyan5,superbad eclair,zx eclair. I went through every one and did complete set up of all my apps, settings, fixes, oc, blah blah blah. and made back-ups of each one. So now its time to flash one of my beautiful back ups and BAM md5sum mismatch. get the same error on every backup. I have searched and didnt find to much.

but who cares im done with clockwork recovery. I wanna know how I repackage these backups that I still have on my sd card and generate a new md5 and them use them in anyother recovery. Basically I wanna package them intoa zip file that I can flash just like a new rom.
[G1 Android Development] chrisgto4:
was this a stupid question or something?????
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Whata we gonnna do now Watson?!;)
[G1 Android Development] Tyler.forrest:
this is one of the dumbest posts i have seen, no help at allll, im also getting md5 sum mismatch, did you rename you backups from the original date name?
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
Just get them on the PC, extract these zip's and zip it again, sign it and you're done?

Well I've never tried this BrowserLinux but that does not look like a grub configuration for normal use...

But regardless you can try the hiddenmenu option.

So if you have apps2sd enabled with the phone writing the davlik-cache to the sd card and you wipe davlik-cache in amons recover does it wipe the cache on the card or phone?

I'm pretty sure it just wipes the dalvik on the phone. I may be wrong....
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
The reason I'm asking is because I see a lot of people pre-ordering and they say it's $199. I wanted to see if anyone was still on contract or would still be on a contract by the time the Evo comes out. I wanted to see if the people on contract were still getting the phone for $199 from BB or the shack. I know the $199 is for a $150 discount with a 2 year plan and an up-front $100 rebate.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
On-contract as in "not eligible for an upgrade?" I know that RadioShack is not taking pre-orders for full retail purchases, and Best Buy is gouging the price to $600 for those not on contract. I'm going to pre-order from Sprint when they start accepting in-store (some places actually already have).
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
I wonder what would be the price if I tell BB that I'm contract now but I want to renew (restart my 2yr contract). Would they just take $100 off the retail price? Guess I have to go in to BB sometime tomorrow to see how this all works. Maybe I'll try the shack as well.

Can they really inflate the price that high when retail (According to sprint) is suppose to be $450? I guess Sprint will have to take my money then and I'll have to wait 10-14 weeks for a rebate.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
The $100 rebate is only for new contracts and people with their 22-month full upgrade. The 12-month (non-premier) upgrade is just $75 off retail.

And yes, Best Buy can gouge all they want to.
[EVO 4G General] pinkxpinkii:
Under Contract with TMO

I'm under contract with T-Mobile but with still 5 months left. Going to terminate the contract (only $100). Rather cough up the money than continue to use my G1 for the next five months. I want the Evo NOW. :D
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
Same here. I'm upgrading from my hero (which I got in December ) so I think your better seeing the device in a sprint store then buying it full out.
[EVO 4G General] tricknasty:
im dropping my plan to the lowest ($20/mo.) on vzw and already preordered from radio shack
[EVO 4G General] apollooff320:
what about ppl adding another line? I pre paid on the phone already and would go back and get my money if I can't get the phone by adding another line. None of my other 2 lines are able to upgrade since I just did that 6 months ago.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
Adding another line is considered a new activation therefore you would get the phone for $199.
[EVO 4G General] setite:
Where is everyone getting this 600$ quote from. At my BB the guy said he "thinks its like 600" which means that he was going off the rumoured off contract price.I don't see BB raising the price of a phone higher than it's MSRP.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Oh you don't? Go to Best Buy and try to buy a Hero or a Moment off contract and enjoy paying $600 or $630, respectively!
[EVO 4G General] kyleblakepeters:
I preordered as a current customer without an upgrade available for my phone number. I just upgraded another line on my account, and will swap hardware after I have the phone in my hand.
[EVO 4G General] justinisyoung:
could somebody help me figure this out a bit?

i have the HTC Hero, bought and signed with a new 2 year contract in november 2009.

so is there any way i could get the $199 price on the evo? i think you can get the EVO but you have to sign another 2 year contract even though i'm only 6 months in?
[EVO 4G General] HighDef088:
i did it today

i per-order mines today from radioshack for 50bucks..down,,i'm hype,,for the phone,i have 1 coming my way soon..
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
No. You are stuck paying the full price. I am a smart one though. I had a Sprint account back in the day, left with good standing. I ran into credit issues and about a year back had to pay a deposit so I just went on my father's plan with my fiancee instead. Well, I just got my Hero in October, 2 yr contract. Called up Sprint. They told me to get the Evo in my name, new account with a new phone number. Then afterward, get my dad and transfer my Hero line into my account. I get the 2 yr new activation price for the Evo, I keep my number and I don't have to pay the ETF. Life is f-ing sweet!
[EVO 4G General] MetroKnight:
If I understand this right, aren't you still left with paying for 3 lines, yours, your fathers' and your fiancee's?
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
Yes but I don't pay for those lines. The owner's of the lines do. I will now be on my own plan, by myself with no ties to them. This isn't the solution for everyone but I figured maybe if someone is in the same situation it may help them.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Radio Shack would not let me upgrade, because I am not eligible until June 1st for upgrade. I just went over to Best Buy and signed right up.

Also, the rep at Radio Shack was not clear as to whether or not I would get the phone on Launch day or not. The Best Buy mobile manager told me for sure that I would get it then. I wanted to try Radio Shack first, simply because of the $20 of free accessories, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

then again, in the case of the Evo, I think we all win ;)

It's like they timed this specifically for Palm Pre Premier owners... Friggin awesome.
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
If you go through sprint, you'll probably have to renew your 2 yr contract so that it starts up at June 4th, or whenever you get the EVO. You won't get the $150 upgrade discount, but you'll get the $100 mail-in-rebate though.

I believe this is what you'll go through because this is what I'm thinking will happen for me. I too bought the Hero in Nov. 09. But in the past when renewing a contract, Sprint has always just restarted my contracts when I wanted a new contract.

Do to the retail cost that BB and the shack might, I'm going to go through sprint, but not the sprint store. If you go through the sprint store, you'll have to pay the $36 activation fee. Most of the phones that you buy online through Sprint, don't charge an activation fee, so I'm thinking (hoping) this will be through for the EVO when they start selling them online.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I'm still on contract and pre-ordered with best buy, was quoted $199
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
Did they look up your Sprint account info? When is your contract up?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
yes and my contract is up may 1st 2011
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Something doesn't seem right here... I don't think there is any way you are going to get it for $200.
[EVO 4G General] d0nc0l0:
this is how it works... if your plan is 69.99 or more you will be a premier customer. you can upgrade your device every year. (renew your contract again) more info here. http://premier.sprint.com/
[EVO 4G General] steb0ne:
And you can check ur upgrade eligibility here: https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do?id12=UpgradeLanding_CheckUpgradeEligiblity
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Ok here is my idea. Im not eligible until 10/1/10, and me and the wife are on the everything share plan, and I see you can add a line for $19 a month, so I will be adding a new line and then I should be able to get it for $199. Im going to radio shack today to see if thats possible and if so I am going for it. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
dude i want to do the same but am thinking if we are going to open a new line for the evo wich is gon be available till june 4th can we preorder now without the new line or do we have to wait till we actually open the new line???
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
I was hoping I could go to radio shack and tell them I am opening a new line so I can just drop $50 and preorder and then once it comes in, the day I pick it up I would have to set up the whole thing in store. If not I guess I'd have to wait till it comes out to go and do all of that. I don't see why I couldn't pre-order it now though, or if worse comes to worse I'll add a line now and bring my proof with me to radio shack and they should allow me to preorder then.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
ok ill be heading to best buy in 20 min and ill update wath happen i really dont trust radio shack,,best buy is the best when it comes to price matching:D
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Cool, good luck!!
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
ok i went to best buy pre ordered the evo no credit check or eligibility just ur $50 caaaaaassssshhhhhhhhhh.....:D but am numer 25:o

my local radio shack had nobody preorder i was gon b number 1

but just dont trust them....ill probably get flamed for saying this,,,;)

but i am gon get the geek squad protection plan its only $5 a month

and if they cant fix it its a brand new device not like sprint this is my 4th reconditioned hero after vuying a brand new one on march:mad:

What I don't understand is how so many people just "add a new line," to get this phone.

What do you do with your number? Do you carry multiple phones? This all seems like way too much work, and more expensive in the long-run than just buying the friggin' phone.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
In my case its like this, the wife and I are already on the simple everything family plan. $189 unlimited everything. My upgrade is not until october, so I could add a line for $19 and change to the simply everything data for $169, and ultimately my bill doesn't change. Or I could just wait till october, lol
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
So you will have 3 active lines... and just adopt a new phone number? Why not just buy the phone?
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Yeah you actually have a point. I am more than likely gonna have to wait till october to get my upgrade, unless a more reasonable option comes along before then.

[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
All you people that are on a current contract and have some guy at BB tell you you can get the phone for $199 better think twice. They may not have looked at your account the day you did the preorder but I bet you they will look the day you go pick up the phone. Or they may have not realized that they told you you are eligible when you are not. And guess what they will say the day go pick up the phone, "Sorry this happened to you but there is nothing we can do; Sprint won't let me do it." They won't care because that's one sale they can get from the person behind you that's waiting.

Please if they did say that it's $199, go back and make sure; have them look your account up. You'd be really mad that you took a day off to be took "So Sorry"
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
RS can just look at your account and see if you have an extra line available to add, then you can safely preorder away. But really you'd be better off just buying the phone outright instead of tacking on another line for a 2 year contract...
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
yeah, I think im just gonna wait till my upgrade in october. I just got caught up in all the hype I guess. By October I should know all the good and bad about the phone and hopefully root will be achieved so I can just dive in head first then.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
You could probably sell your hero on CL or eBay and get back about half of the full price for the EVO.. then you would be paying around the same as if you added the line, and you would still have your upcoming upgrade to use later... just a thought.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
I don't think that's bin happen there's gon b a lot of pple trying to sell their heros,just to get the evo ,and if u sell it ,ill be pretty chip.
[EVO 4G General] watzone69:
When I pre-ordered at BB (which I have since cancelled) they did not check anything on my Sprint account or even ask me if I was eligible for the discount.

I have a bad feeling that there is going to be anarchy in the Best Buys across the country come June 4th when some people find out that they have to pay full price.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
There are a lot of people out there who don't have an upgrade available and would pay $200 for a hero to use right now.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
At cl Chicago going for like 150 this happens everytime a new phone the market gets saturated with all these pple want to get rid of their phones to get the new one,hapen with. Mogul,tp,tp2......is just how it works so many pple selling them ull have to lower the price...
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
YEa, it'll be lower, but still a good chunk of the cost. And 150 is about twice the trade in value at stores for the hero.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
true but not worth putting $300 from ur pocket plus taxes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:D
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
That would be well worth it for me, since I dont ever get a subsidized phone due to my plan :D

hey guys, i know this is a very long shot, but i figured better to be stupid than ignorant.

when im on opera 10 beta 3, i usually use it to view full sites like IGN, CNET, and other sites that constantly use the "please click here to continue to the site" styled pages everytime i click to a news page. its not that i hate it. i know the ads are there for money making, but when on a phone, i can't stand having to wait for both that AND the real page load. when on a desktop, i always used NoScript and it took care of that, but i really wish there was one on windows mobile/Opera.

any clues?
