[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frifox:
Being a hardcore winmo user/modder for past 4 years, I'm finally switching to an android based phone, Evo. The hardware, especially the WiMAX which is served where I live, got me to finally switch over to Android (pre-ordered Evo last week from shack :cool:), and now got a few software questions.

When connecting Evo to some random win/mac computer through USB,

Will the external MicroSDHC card (and hopefully internal flash as well) act as a USB drive? Loading mp3's without taking out the card is a must, and since I do a lot of PC troubleshooting, also love using my phone as a drive where I store all my fav rescue tools and other portable apps/docs.

Is it possible to share either 3g or 4g data, like winmo's internet connection sharing feature, by having phone be detected as a generic network adapter? I prefer tethering data through USB because I notice faster and much more stable download/upload speeds compared to WiFi and many desktops which I work on don't come with WiFi card so USB is pretty much the only option. And also, the phone is being charged at the same time :)

Hopefully it'll be "yes" to both questions, but since I haven't dealt with Android before, besides running a crippled v2.0 on my HTC Touch Pro where USB didn't work anyways, I wanted to consult with the "experienced". :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
Yes to #1 and not so sure on #2... once it is rooted i imagine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingpongboss:
When you plug the Evo into your computer, it pops up with 4 options: Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk drive, and Internet sharing.

I have never tried the HTC Sync and Internet sharing before, but now I'm trying Internet sharing to see what it does.

Wow, it really very easily shares internet connection with my Linux desktop. Very cool of HTC to include wired tethering natively...

Edit: I should mention that the Evo was in fact sharing it's 3G connection.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gryffyn:
I'm new to the Android thing, but found this while researching tethering options for Android. I assume these would still work on the Evo (minus the 'needs root' option, for the time being):

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexi350z:
That answers both of his questions. So when you plug in Evo, you can use it as disk drive, and as Internet sharing (USB tethering), very cool!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperv990:
What did you do (if anything) to get it to work on your desktop?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
what about 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingpongboss:
On ubuntu, it detected the phone immediately as usb0 and connected to it in 5 seconds.

On windows 7, it does the Installing device Drivers thing, then fails. Comes up with this status http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30367/Evo Tether.png

So I guess it works out of the box on Ubuntu but not Windows 7. Though it shouldn't be hard to install whatever you need. I'll update when I figure it out.

Edit: To get it working on Windows 7, I just installed the "HTC Sync\HTCSync2.0.31.exe" file on the sdcard then switched the "USB Connection Type" on the phone to Internet Sharing. Windows 7 then connected to the device as if you plugged in an ethernet cord.

Dont have 4G in California yet. But I'd assume you will share whatever mobile connection your phone is currently on, 3G/4G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinconti:
before i get too excited, has anyone tried the 64 bit drivers or just the 32? mobile internet+phone charging=better but i am on win7 64
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realgt:
ubuntu 10.4 lucid 64bit

confirmed that HTC EVO "internet sharing" working fine on Ubuntu 10.4 64bit - out of the box, no configuration needed. just plug in and it automatically connects
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingpongboss:
My post above was tested on Windows 7, 64 bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Jason8|:
Once it's rooted, it'll work fine. I'm actually tethered to my G1 right now. Checking a box on the phone and plugging in the USB cable is exactly the same as plugging in an ethernet cord. It's really nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcchaz:
Do you need to pay the $29 charge to do this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
No, USB tethering is free AND unlimited. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbowenx:
i use ics

i use internet connection sharing, ics to import the wired usb tether web connection and send it out my lan port to a wifi router running ddwrt...

the router can broadcast the wifi.

i did it pre root using the 10 buck easy tether app.

i rooted 2.2 last night and got wifi tether working this mornign

so i am currently seeing how to usb tether post root w/o easy tether.

so both are possible most likely post, but definatly pre root.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Bizybone:
Microsoft does not plan to officially release WP7 on current HTC devices.

Developers here recently got a hold of a leaked WP7 ROM and are currently trying to extract it to see if it would be possible to port to the HTC HD2.

But in short. WM7 will be released later this year. Your device isn't powerful enough to work with it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokenwoken:
Is it possible to use the nexus one without using the data plan? I just bought an unlocked phone from ebay and everytime I use the browser, it automatically connects me through the EDGE network. I'm near wifi all the time so I don't need the data.. any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshealton:
If it anything like the G1 you have to turn wifi on. After that once you connect to the network, it will use the wifi first. Hope this helps.

Can we install hspl on 2.08 or do we have to wait for someone to release a new version of the hspl.sorry if this is a noob question..thanks in advance
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Please use the search. This has been answered many times already.

The new update makes your spl 2.10

If you update to the new rom changing your spl to 2.1 then you have to flash an older rom to make your spl 2.08 to use HSPL.
[HD2 General] oklahomatulsa:
The shipping ROM of the HTC EVO 4G has now been leaked. The RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe file is the official ROM present on the devices that will go on sale on June 4th (and probably originates from one the handsets offered yesterday during Google I/O). You can grab the file here. I guess that the next logical step will be an attempt to port this ROM to the HTC HD2.

[HD2 General] laserviking:
Could someone who knows about the difficulties associated with porting ROMs quickly describe how feasible getting a work of port of android from the EVO 4G over to the HD2 would be?

I imagine the fact that the camera is different would cause problems?
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Lawl, you guys must be smoking some pretty good pot. :D This will take months. You are assuming that every single internal part save for the camera is identical. I'm pretty certain it won't be. :) It'll be a long time before any port of Android is working on the HD2. Until then, it's best you not get your hopes too high because you'd surely be disappointed if you think a working port is feasible in 4 ~ 8 weeks.
[HD2 General] jakobdroid:
this topic has been beaten to death over and over guys. i'm not trying to come off as a ****, but please search and read before making posts, because it upsets the devs. A LOT of parts are different between the HD2 and EVO, they don't even use the same touchscreen. This is going to take some time. Be patient.
[HD2 General] CraigBirnie:
a quick Google search will reveal picture and video evidence of this already working, along with Windows Phone 7 succesfully ported on the HD2. problems arise with the assignment of the hard buttons more than anything else.
[HD2 General] laserviking:
I've got no such expectations, for one I pointed out at least the camera is different and I assume a whole lot of other stuff is too.

Anyway, here's a question I've never seen addressed in any topic but is interesting for layman plebs:

What information do official HTC devs have access to which XDA devs don't, which makes churning out working drivers, etc. for phones doable for the former and nigh-on impossible for the latter? Please don't misinterpret this post as accusing XDA devs of being lazy or anything, I'm just curious as to why it's so difficult.
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
The knowledge that a hefty paycheck is arriving at the end of every two weeks and that if they don't perform, they'll get replaced with another person who is qualified and willing to deliver on said schedule. Things change when you do it as a hobby and when you're struggling to make a better life for yourself and/or spouse and kids.

Even a somewhat working version of Android on the Blackstone came out what, 12 months after its release? Making Android work on a Windows Mobile device is not some plug and play magic or drag and drop process as a lot of you are making it out to be (not directly at you, in general). While I'm only a beginner in programming, I know the difficulty that goes into making a good single working software, let alone making an entire OS work on a completely different set of hardware.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The official developers get the hardware datasheets from the manufacturers and software apis because they are licensed to work on these devices. If xda devs got those things, it would be much easier.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Android has not been ported yet. I don't know where you saw that, but its probably fake. There have been videos of WinPhone 7, but it hasn't been established whether its fake or not.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Oh hey, thanks for the link.:rolleyes:

[HD2 General] laserviking:
Thanks! I knew there had to be a missing link somewhere.

I have a strange problem that I can't seem to resolve...

When I click on an email to view it, I get a series of white lines before the email appears...this is happening in COM2, COM3 and COM5 branch ROMs.

I have taken the HTC Message app back a version, but that didn't help.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
Hello. So I've recently decided to root my mytouch 3g with the headphone jack, which probably makes it the 1.2 version, and I'm starting to regret it. I've followed the steps fine on this website (link below) until I got to step 3. I rebooted my mytouch however it is now stuck at the HTC magic screen. It hasn't changed for quite a while. I was wondering if my phone is bricked. Hopefully it's not and if it's at all possible to fix it. (just remove the spaces to get the link.)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 20_Eyes:
If ur still stuck, pull your battery, press red power/hang-up button + home into recovery. wipe and flash again. Keep reading those guides. What rom are you flashing by the way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
I haven't gotten to flashing the rom yet but I was thinking of the latest stable rom for mytouch 3g. Also I'm currently attempting to revert my mytouch back to the original firmware it came with and trying to see if i can root it again later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 20_Eyes:
Good luck. Not much out there thats stable like any official rom from tmobile, but its fun to learn (time consuming, too) If you dont feel up to it, stick with what it came with. New updates coming soon(ish) anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
Lol soonish. Yeah I couldn't wait so I decided to root my phone. Hopefully I get things working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zelda26:
you should be fine. Read and follow correctly. I used that same tutorial when I unlocked mine.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

This is what I used and I didn't run into any issues. Follow that to the "T" cause if you reboot at a particular part, the part that says "DO NOT REBOOT" and you do, you're jacked.

Hope you get it to work. Enjoy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
Luckily I managed to get it to work after many long hours and failed attempts. It seems that I was doing everything right and I just needed to shut off my phone manually instead of letting it restart when it prompts me to. If I had known this I would have saved myself many long hours of frustration. But thanks guys for the suggestions and help. It's nice to know I can have support when I need it.

[HD2 General] Camusa:
So, I did some tooling around and found that the battery is veritably the same in terms of efficiency from TMO ROM 2.10 to 2.13 save for one thing...it drains like a mother when using my wifi network.

I went through most of the day with normal use, a few less phone calls as I was in meetings, but more uploads to Facebook as I was at one of my kid's functions and snapping shots and trying to upload on nary a bar and I still had 20% left at the end of the evening.

The major difference was that I hardly tuned into my wifi network at all.

I seem to recall a registry tweak that enabled use of an "N" network very effectively that I employed first go around. I am not even sure that I found it on this forum, but I would be much obliged if someone could turn me on to it again.

I believe that, at default, the HD2 is not set to run "N" speeds though again...that might be rumor. I do know that I tweaked the registry within the first week to address this though and cannot remember what I did!

I only got mine a few months ago when Verizon (who I had been with for 8 years) would not get me into an Android device for less than $300. I wish I could have waited, but I could not be without Android any longer. As such, I'll be on this handset for a while and even when I move on I can see it being a great little test device.

I use Linux daily and from what I've seen of the ROM breakdowns, the way it's packaged, filesystem layout, etc - I'm definitely going to be tinkering quite a bit. This is a capable handset that has brought me much happiness already. Can't wait to really start cooking.

Not working. There is no Office.Ink in the startmenu folder. There is just "Office Mobile 2010" which is a <DIR>. And in that directory you can find "icon.Ink". But if you copy that "icon.Ink" into "programs", it just changes that folder icon.
