how much are regular micro-USB car chargers? nothing fancy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turn:
i just stopped in the Radioshack i preordered from while in the mall today to see if the EVO was in stock. i asked the lady if i could get it from her early, but she wouldn't give me a straight answer and kept trying to flirt with me (mind you this is a fairly unattractive 40-year old woman). i ended up cutting her little diatribe short and just walking out. haha, probably didn't help my cause that my eyes were bloodshot and i reeked of things illegal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
$25, but "fancy" or not, the iGo chargers really are the best you can get, at $30. And that isn't even a sales pitch because I sell them XD I got mine maybe... seven years ago? When I got my first phone, anyway. And it still works, and works beautifully. I just switch out the tip with each phone I get, and charge my PSP, DS, X1, and iPod with it. :p Saved me tons of money over the years.

Whatever you do though, it's up to you. Just letting you know the benefits :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
I thought it was $49.99?, it its $30, id def get it...

is that the regular price?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] URABUS0924:
So will I be able to use the $10 off $40 coupon from the receipt survey in conjunction with the 15% off accessories and $20 accessories credit from pre-ordering? The $10 off coupon says "May no be combined with certain other discounts." Does the $20 credit or 15% off fall in that discount group? Any insight from a RS employee would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
very good question. I would like to know as well
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtadeo:
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I was wondering if someone was in my boat.

I am not eligible for an upgrade until October (currently have htc hero). Where can I get this phone at the cheapest price up front?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watzone69:
Sprint=$449

Radio Shack=$499

Best Buy=(rumored to be $600 or more)

Walmart= (Not sure. $499???)

You be the judge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splicitysplat:
Hello, I am a sprint existing user who is eligible for an upgrade and preordered at radioshack. I went to radioshack today to make sure I would have no problems in the morning, and the guy said he couldn't find my account on the computer. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
That's probably something you'll want to call Sprint for. I do not think anyone here on the forums can tell you anything about whether or not your account exists. Give Sprint a call and have them help you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesigns:
RS Manager or someone there call me today to make an apoinment to pick my EVO , I will be there a 9am :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v2tech:
I too got a call yesterday. I set up an appointment for 7.30pm Friday.

I asked whether RS can give that phone to me on Thursday night and the person politely said no. :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
That's a clever thing they slipped into the memo :p The $49.99 iGo charger is a combo car/home charger; the seperate home and car chargers individually are $30 with tip. So if you want a spare AC charger, the $49.99 one saves you $10 (rather than buying both and tips to go with them).

You can apply the $10 off coupon to the price of the phone itself. If in doubt, the RS employee helping you can always make a call to their DM to verify. I'd call ahead if you want clarification before Ground Zero :)

He might be typing your name or phone number wrong; a lot of the time when something like this happens, the name was misentered when the account was created. If not, then have him "pretend" to run a credit check, which involves entering your first and last name, and SSN. If you have an account currently, a window will open saying a customer with this SSN already exists, and to enter the PIN or security answer. If they follow those steps, there's no way to miss your account :p Well... minus the Sprint tool causing havoc :(

Quick add-on: we just got our EVO shipment in... I swear, I fully expect to open up the package and find that it's full of Dippin' Dots ice cream :p I've not seen the packaging before now, and it's a little surprising.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rank78:
OK, stupid question.

I bought my Hero last October from BB using the $150 upgrade on a 2yr contract. Say I want to get the EVO unsubsidized, will RS or wherever I buy the EVO from activate it on my current line no problem? And will I incur any fees other than activation?

I'm on a family plan, my dad has some kind of premiere deal through work and even though last October I used the $150 upgrade after having an Instinct for just over a year, now the Sprint site says I won't be eligible for the smaller $75 upgrade until October 2010. :( No idea why it went from 1 year to 2.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
I was just at walmart it was 449 I have already committed to RS they have done the job securing my device tomorrow. That is worth 50 bucks to me. You can go to Sprint but who knows what your going to run into.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
Well, there shouldn't be an activation fee, since it isn't technically being activated. Otherwise, if you can find a store with any in stock there shouldn't be a problem adding it to your account. Just buy it at full price, and you're good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rank78:
Oh ok, so I could just have Sprint transfer my existing number to the EVO over the phone? Nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
Yeah, it's basically just an equipment swap. Keep in mind your plan will have to change, still~
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babelfish42:
Hey dude why dont you tell them about how the evo are bricking out of the box and you are selling off your stock for preorders before giving them out to he people who got bricks on opening day??? Sprint wont help because your the point of sale
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazabale:
Your joking right? If you thought it through you would realize that Radio Shack made a binding commitment to provide A phone for each preorder made. Taking 50 dollar deposit seals it. Radio Shack has no legal right to sell a phone that is reserved for preorder. The customer has 2 days to pick up their preorder, after that it's first come first serve. A customer with a defective phone should be the first in line if a preordered phone is not picked up by the person who ordered it. How would you feel if you put down $50 and then there was no phone to pick up because it was given to someone else, who quite possible screwed up the phone themselves, or simply thinks there is something wrong with their phone because they don't know how to setup an android phone so the battery does not drain in 3 hours? You would be pissed. Deposit makes a binding contract and once Radio Shack gave you your phone the fulfilled your contract. They still have to fulfill the rest of the binding agreements with other preorder customers.

Hello all,

After deleting the Copilot demo from my HD2, I have since decided that I do actually want it back on. Since hard resetting my phone at the moment will be a PITA, does someone mind uploading their CoPilot program files and shortcut?

Thanks

[Desire General] Mikeyy:
Need to solve this, tryed everything I could think off and still not working.

I'm unable to sync contacts from People to Gmail.

Tryed with usual google sync (calendar, contacts, gmail) and I think it worked once right after I started phone first time, not really sure though since I deleted all contacts and transfered from my Nokia phone.

After that I deleted all my GMAIL contacts since it was regular garbage and tryed sync with phone. I just can't transfer contacts from phone to gmail.

Tryed running exchange account, I added it, mail syced but contacts wouldn't...

Is that bug with Desire or I'm doing something wrong?

Maybe gmail can't take phone number contacts?

Help :)
[Desire General] pee_cee:
I was wondering this too.

From my old nokia I copied contacts to Sim

In my desire i copied contacts to phone from sim.

The contacts never get pushed to Google.
[Desire General] AdamZA:
I also had a tricky time setting this up to work correctly...

The best way to sync contacts between Google and your Desire is to have them on Google from the start.

I had a Nokia 5800 before this and I synced my contacts into Outlook then found a programme to sync Outlook with Gmail - my contacts then got pushed to my Desire.

If you want to push contacts from your Desire to Gmail/Google, they have to be created as Google contacts.

I could be wrong but i don't think there's a way around this... I haven't found it anyway!
[Desire General] Mikeyy:
Yes, contacts on Phone don't get synced with gmail, only contacts which you save under "Google".

I'm still have second thoughts about concerning privacy since in all my contacts there are birthdays, private phones, other info, emails... basicly if I sync it google by just comparing emails can collect a lot of info on any of my contacts.

Sucky. :D

i did all of the steps from the unlockr and my phone never loaded the rom just stuck on htc magic boot logo. someone please help!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
which rom are you flashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flanagan843:
help!!!!

i was trying to root and fastbooted the HTC Dream non tmobile. sappimg.zip file. and my phone wouldnt get past the boot screen

its theunlockr.com instructions
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Adamsville MITM:
couldnt you just download the right sappimg on your goldcard, go to bootloader mode and let it install?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zelda26:
So, at anytime during the install where you saw the "Dream G1 part," you didn't think, "wait a min.... I have a MyTouch3G...I shouldn't be using this?" Also on those guides there is RED warning messages telling you to be careful. You could brick your phone flashing.

You're going to have to get the RUU ROMS for the

MyTouch3G

. Then follow the procedure that Adamsville MITM provided.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
When you said you did all the steps does that mean you completed the entire process outlined in the unlockr's guide?

Hey,

my phone doesn't work probably at the moment, the process filesys.exe is using 95% of the cpu power which kills the battery life and slows the phone also extremly down, so I'm not able to write an sms probably or use it as a phone.....HOW can I stop this? I haven't changed anything during the last month, so why is it causing this big problem now?

Thanks for any help!
[HD2 General] pa2ra:
Try to remove your SD card and reboot the phone? It could be that your SD card is broken...

I already have removed the sd card.... :(
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
Maybe you can find something here

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-336061.html

It could probably be a problem in the system if you flashed a new rom, or if you have original rom, try to uninstall programs that you recently installed, when this happend,

If nothing else, hard reset by: when phone off hold both up and down volum buttons and press power, a message should come up, telling you to press volum up to hardreset.

Hard reset will put everything back fresh and fix any program errors.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] TheSKYY:
I think I found the reason for that...I haven't installed anything during the last months, so I could only came from an update for one of the software which was already installed, so I rememvered that there was an Update for Microsoft Myphone, so I deinstalled the Marketplace and also Myphone, sadly I couldn't remove it completly, but at least the CPU usage is low again. So Myphone was the reason for it. I will try to reinstall a fresh version soon, but for now I'm testing for some more days if myphone was really the reason or if the cpu usage is going up again.
[HD2 General] TheSKYY:
DAAAAAMN the problem still exists and I think MyPhone is still the reason because I can't deinstall it??? How can I deinstall Microsoft Myphone???

filesys.exe is still killing my speed and battery :(
[HD2 General] TheSKYY:
Is there no one who can help me?? I mean there have to be a solution or? I'm really getting frustrated that I can't use my phone anymore......maybe I should flash it with a new rom? Or what do you think? That should solve the problem?
[HD2 General] pdukanac:
backup everything and hard reset, myphone works ok, everything that comes with the phone works ok it must be some cab or registry modification you have done. just backup and hr, and be careful when tweaking and installing stuff so you can know where is the possible problem triggered
[HD2 General] cba360:
just before u do a hard reset check you havent got a corrupted file somewhere in your documents on the phone

i had this problem and it was caused by the phone trying its hardest to work out a corrupted video, deleted video and filesys dropped to the bottom of the cpu usage list
[HD2 General] TheSKYY:
how can i check if I have a currupted file somewhere? are there any tools i can use?

I mean I haven't installed anything for at least 2-3 month and the problem came out of nowhere.

What is the best way to backup the importan things like phonebook, messages etc.? I mean Microsoft myphone is doing this, but I'm not sure if it saves all entries e.g. the links to the facebook profiles of the persons etc.

Also I have updated the icons, which was a lot of hard work, because I did it manually for arround 20.....

So is there anyway to backup all this?
[Touch2 General] janksd:
So. That's all my fault but I needed to change my digitizer but I accidentally broke the plastic wire which goes from controler to main board (It looks like black plastic paper). Can I repair that volume control because it might be useful for hard reset?

Don't judge me too hard :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papo:
I made couple of templates and a bat for rapiconfig to pass it in.

result is you can drug&drop provisioning commands over activesync connection from pc to pda

e.g. drop "emails" file into "RapiConfig-DROP_HERE.bat", it creates xml file, edit it and put in rom or send back in pda

can do:

emails, connections, wifi & more (if you'll create another template POST IT please)

ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737572.aspx

edit:

sending back options:

-

from PC:

use the same BAT, just drop edited output.txt file and drop it into "RapiConfig-DROP_HERE.bat"

- for implementing

in ROM

(by cooking) you need to change format to ANSI (from UTF-8) of output file

- - same for fdc-taskman

-

from PDA:

I just added another BAT, "makeCAB-DROP_EDITED_OUTPUT_HERE.bat"

- - by dropping edited output.txt file into it, it will create YourXMLfile.cab file, to be executed in pda. (accepting both UTF-8 and ANSI formats, so you don't need to care)

look in post#3 for more details on possible incompatibilities

UPDATED attached file: added bat for creating cab for pda
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
Hi,

I allready had one IMAP4-email-Account configured and that one worked.

Well, i tried the follwing.

Downloaded and extracted provxml.zip.

Drag & droped "emails" onto "RapiConfig-DROP_HERE.bat"

I deleted my email-Account.

When i try to use the email-output.txt and rename it to email-output.xml and try to install it with DotFreds TaskManager it tells me "the xml input is invalid or malformed."

can som1 explain this?

best regards

fwt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papo:
yes. sure. change encoding to ANSI or look below for other options

thanks for pointing it out, I'll edit the post, add info about encoding.

i'll explain:

I can't say a word against fdc taskman, I love it!

Think is, "standard definition" is very wide and sometimes not precise subject.

like with registry, they should be unicode, pda version should have "REGEDIT4" header and default key should be "@" and not "default"

but resco is exporting v5 header, and some of others are exporting ANSI files, some creating "default" now, so far for keeping standard.. :(

fdc taskman is importing ALL kind of registries "formats". that's great, but not so much with xml

theory:

xml should have header,

xml could be any format, and as MS stating for provisioning, it should be UTF-8 ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737422.aspx

BUT:

if you define header - it's not working

if you place UTF-8 format in ROM, (by kitchen), it's not working too

provxml though theory, needs to be ANSI without header, even against what ms is standardizing them to.

RapiConfig is accepting any encoding, and correctly creating UTF-8, but our pdas just don't like it. And fdc-taskman probably not as well.

other options:

Instead you can make a CAB file of it, that would accept both UTF-8 and ANSI

it's simple, rename xml to _setup.xml and pack with makecab.

I'll create a BAT for doing it and place in first post.

or just use the same method of dropping the output....txt into "RapiConfig-DROP_HERE.bat"

that accepts both formats too.

==

another trouble you could have with "connections" provs.

RapiConfig contains "options", provxml not.

like this:

<parm name="DestId" value="{9BAA043B-4019-6C3E-3552-1DA656689A34}" options="Telstra-mms{9BAA043B-4019-6C3E-3552-1DA656689A34}Home-mms{E482A778-1964-0A27-0AB8-7CCE196B9849}Telstra-wap{A1D5DA14-BA00-2A92-45E6-1A9EDAD2D7C5}Home-wap{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}Internet{ADB0B001-10B5-3F39-27C6-9742E785FCD4}....etc....."/>

in provxml files it's without options:

<parm name="DestId" value="{9BAA043B-4019-6C3E-3552-1DA656689A34}" />

if this would make trouble with fdc porting or ROM implementing, or CABs, I didn't test.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
First test with new version:

Changing email-output.txt to ANSI(Unix) with TextPad and renamed to email-output.xml => works fine with fdc Taskmanager

Account synced fine!

Account deleted again and tested with XDA_UC => nope ... didn't work

made a cab like described in first post => installed on Touch HD => works fine

great job so far.

Just one (really little) thing:

Could you please remove the "> null" behind the "pause" in your makecab batch.

Not so experienced User could get ... hm ... irritaded by "100.00% [flushing current folder]"

best regards

fwt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papo:
thanks for testing. I don't know the XDA_UC so can't say. maybe it keeps a copy in \windows folder and won't work twice with the same file. That was happening on one xml importer a have had once.

the flushing report is from makecab. it is not feeding last line, so pause would owerwrite it's output without redirecting output. But I'll make errorlevel trigger there instead. flushing folder doesn't sounds good, you are right :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
No Problem ... i'm happy if i can help with this.

Though i'm not really firm with XDA_UC process.

So can't really debug here :(

But i will test some more stuff like Active Sync.

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic-query type="Sync" recursive="true"/>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

but not today ... heading home ;)

More Provisioning Templates

Hello,

Thanks for your tool.

I was wondering if there are other templates for:

Owner Information

Windows Live Messenger

Active Sync Exchange

Facebook

Twitter

Regional Settings

Registry Options that can be set with ~Advanced Config~

It takes about 3 hours to set up my phone after a flash - time consuming controlling installation locations (most to SDCard) and manually registering all the apps I use. The roms usually have Tom's Autoinstall, but I need to have settings in xmls/cabs to be more efficient.

Thanks in advance!

I'm using Tael's ROM on my TP (Fuze). I can safely say I like using IE more than Opera 10 (but not 9) and, as such, I've started using IEM as my default browser. Now, I've run into a little problem that I can't find an answer for. I would like to be able to download images in their entirety rather than the reduced-sized images IEM feeds me. Is there a tweak I can set that will fix this problem?

Hi,

I have been increasingly concerned over future development (if any) of Windows Mobile. Having bought my TG01 only in February with the joy of believing that windows mobile would expand to windows mobile 7, I am now very disappointed to discover that this won't happen. Here are some article snippets I have seen in the news highlights:

"TG01 won't get windows mobile 7 upgrade"

Original Source: Can't seem to find it again on google, but have seen it on google within last few days.

and

"Adobe kills Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Mobile 6.5, smitten with Windows Phone 7 Series"

"If you’re not feeling a bit sorry for the aging Windows Mobile platform, you should be. With Windows Phone 7 completely overshadowing Windows Mobile 6.5 and Adobe confirming the death of Flash 10.1 for WinMo, the stylus-happy smartphone operating system of yester-year is being kicked to the curb left and right."

Original Source:

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/02/2...-6-5-smitten-with-windows-phone-7-series.html

Just wondered what other WM users think? Personally, I'm tempted to sell my TG01 fast before it's too late, but can't help but wonder if I'm making the right decision, and wouldn't know what to replace it with.

I keep reading negative headlines for windows mobile, and I think it won't be long before most phone manufacturers choose Android as their OS, therefore making windows mobile redundant. I suppose windows mobile has been around for some time now, so perhaps I shouldnt have bought a phone with a OS that is heading for 'death'.
