For me the the contacts, dialer ans sms all work perfectly. No lags at all. The only issue I have is super slow gallery. As long as I'm on nand is there anyhow I can fix it? Or only reflash? And if I need to reflash must I edit anything? Sorry for a lot of questions :) My second android experience :)

I use websharing lite at the moment to move stuff over the network. It works when doing a few files, but I want to be able to see the sd card as a network drive.

Is there an application that does this? I know there are numerous programs that allow you to access network drives from the the phone (astro/ESexplorer/etc).

I want to see the phone as a network drive. I use all windows machines btw.

I bought my phone from best buy less than 30 days ago, i still have my receipt and all.

my phone is also rooted.

sadly it slipped out of my hand and has a scratch on the touch screen.

if i returned the phone for an exchange, would best buy honor it?

the phone works fine..but if i can can a new one before my 30 days it up, i would like to.

* do the phones update automatically..assuming best buy still has the phones running 1.5.

If i remember right, they did not attempt to update my phone when i got it. they just transfered he service and gave the phone on as soon as they gave it to me.

do it up, i bought my htc hero less then a week ago 24 hours after purchase i had updated, then found out about rooting. returned it promptly and told them i updated and it runs like crap and i want nothing to do with it now, they swapped it out in less then 5 mins...

Zaggs invisible shield is the best screen protector ive ever owned, lifetime warranty its a bit pricy but well worth it... best buy mobile employee will even put it on for you at time of purchase

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtphoto:
please stop posting about stuff like this, this is the MOST infuriating thing to read. people complain about phones being so expensive, and this is why. IT WAS YOUR MISTAKE!!! deal with and learn to keep it in a case with a protector next time. honestly if you do replace it I hop you DO get 2.1, karma is a b!&*h.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsweat:
I still would like to see one shred of evidence correlating high phone prices with people returning phones within 30 days.

These phones are expensive because these manufacturers have delusions as to the value of their creations.

I say if you are within the 30 days and you want to eat it, **** it out and promptly return it to Best Buy for a new one then by all means go for it.

Sorry for the interruption. Now, everyone please continue to have a nervous breakdown over this...

as for the OP....good luck getting them to exchange it for you considering the quite obvious scratch they are going to see.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radxcoresteven:
As the poster above stated, what is the relation in returned phones and high prices? And the OP just asked a simple question, so let's answer nicely.

OP, what harm could be done from going? If I were you, I'd give it a shot.

[HD2 General] ephestione:
Uhm, probably I'm looking too much ahead... yet why do you need a ROM with cal recording?

Usually, if you need to autorecord calls, you just have to install a program that does that, and IMO the best is ACR. The HD2 doesn't support full ICR anyway, but you usually are able to hear a feeble voice of the other person.

That fact that you're looking for a ICR enabled ROM though, it may look like you need the ICR function to be active even after a hard reset, hence, you have the intention of spying on someone whom you're giving the phone to, am I guessing too much? :D

I think best buy messed up my pre-order...

I went to best buy on the 14th of May (this is proven on my receipt)

but on the paper they stapled to it that has a pic of the phone along with my name address and phone number it says pre order date 6/4/2010 this is the day the phone comes out. I thought maybe just maybe the girl was supposed to put the date of my order on there instead of the release date so I called my cousin who also pre ordered at best buy and his says 5/18/2010 (the date he pre ordered his on)

Will this be a problem? Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdc177:

It sucks... whenever you call, they never answer. I 'm trying to prevent having to drive back over there because its not very close to my house but I wanna make sure I dont have any problems on june 4 so I may have to.

Anyone one else notice the date on there pre-order form?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporkman:
if its that important drive back ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
I'm sure you'll be fine... if that's important to you then I'm sure calling back a couple times until you get an answer isn't out of the question.

Why's everyone so worried they're going to get screwed on launch day? You'll get your phone people, and the Earth will keep spinning!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdyace:
call right away and even better still...GO THERE and find out.

Somethings need no explanation or reason.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
Just got back from the BB i pre-ordered at... the girl i talked to didnt seem to care and said ohh yeah it will be fine dont worry about it. I decided to keep calling until i someone answered the phone so i could get a second opinion on it but still nobody picks up. I'm gonna have to keep trying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Classick206:
You have your receipt with the date you preordered, which is all you really need. If you run into any problems show them that receipt and demand your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
well, thats my backup plan but i dont get off of work until 3:30 on release date... If they dont hold one for me all the demanding in the world wont do me any good if they are out of them.

Plus they could just say ohh well you ordered yours on the 14th of May and we were only able to hold enough for people who ordered on the 13 or earlier. You know what I mean?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkcoogler:
Dude seriously you are freaking out for NO reason! Best Buy Mobile is like any other company and has some people that ignore the countless internal trainings/emails/coaching and still does things wrong. Yet the vast majority of their employees are pretty knowledgeable about the EVO launch.

As for your pre-sale flier... it's fine. She needed to put the date you pre-sold the phone but put the date of sale on there instead. I'm sure that the guy/gal helping you when you go in will put two and two together and realize you didn't pre-sale the day you are coming in...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
I hope your right, but I'm worried that mine may be all the way at the bottom of a very long list of pre-orders because of this error. When I was there today the girl told me that they were already taking pre-orders for the 3rd shipment of phones!! When I asked her if she could check and see if mine was in the 1st shipment list she asked what date I did mine I said 5/14 she said ok yeah all the ones taken on or b4 the 14th will be in the first shipment. I could be wrong but I think she would have said that to any date I said just to get me out of her hair.

If I go to best buy on the june 4 and they dont have an evo waiting on me I'm flippin tables over, people over, computers tv's and acting a damn fool until the police get there or they come up with an EVO for me!

What they did is put you in the appointment list for the launch date, since preorders made after may 25 will not get their preorder until the second batch of phones get received (june 10) so you have nothing to worry about. They will actually attach a copy of your receipt, preorder form and recommendation sheet (assuming they filled one out) on to your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
what is a recommendation sheet? All they did for me was give me a $50 gift card, write my name address phone number and date of release on a piece of paper. I hope your right about them stapling a copy of the receipt to the paper with my name and number on it. However, what worries me is that people are lazy and I doubt who ever goes through them will take the time to look at both the receipt and the other paper for every single one they got. The date is written larger and easier to find on the paper (with the wrong date) but man I hope you guys are right!

Will we all be charged the $18 activation fee for buying radio shack or best buy?

So far, I've had no problems open .docx files with DocumentsToGo.

I just tried it with the pre-installed QuickOffice reader, and that was fine too.

This leads me to believe your problem is one of two things:

1. There is something about the documents you are trying to load that is causing the issue.

2. There is an issue with your phone or ROM.

Just rooted and i was about to flash froyo until i read this, it's not worth the risk i think i am just going to unroot and wait for a fix or the official update
[Desire General] rolfd:
If you are rooted there is no point in un-rooting! You can't do any damage unless you are in recovery and flashing. Stick with your current rom and sit tight for a new recovery :D
[Desire General] The Professor:
There's no reason to unroot if you've successfully rooted. The only risk comes when actively flashing the device - i.e. you've already gotten past the part where you could have broken it. There's no reason to go back - just sit tight where you are until it's fixed.

Hi, I have a noob question: How do you restore the phone to an official rom after the brick if you need the device to be connected to a PC to run the.exe? (I m asking because I can hardly resist trying froyo, and if I can return my phone after the brick, I ll take the risk.)
[Desire General] rolfd:
Details are in the first post here by Rudolfje.
[Desire General] The Professor:
You can connect in fastboot mode, where USB still works, and flash one of the official RUUs. This will completely restore the phone software-wise, but will not restore USB-related device function.
[Desire General] rolfd:
I'm going to bow out here for now and let you carry on Prof. lol. There is no point in us both answering the same questions, and I have to get my house in order for the mrs coming over:rolleyes:

my desire was directly connected to the pc. so its not a usb HUB problem...
[Desire General] jauhari:
This is what I looking for.. I will stoped upgrade ROOT or ROM and waiting from HTC updates ;)
[Desire General] :
it could also be down to weak voltages (ie low grade psu suppling not enough voltages to keep the flow constant) The numbers are quite high for the hub and i definatly would not use a laptop to do the flashing!!!

Its well over 80 percent for people that have been using hubs if you check the numbers, maybe the other 20 percent have been using laptops??

I would use a pc, with a high output psu (to insure quality power), and ever use a hub while flashing, EVER!!!

These are only steps to minimise the risk, this is not a full blown solution..... At the moment we can hope only to just lessen the risk summising on the results that we have gathered;)

[Desire General] GhostSoldier:
No, didn't use a hub.

Used an iMac 27, in Mac OS X.

71% was using a non-stock cable

74% was using an USB hub

14% was on win32, 7% on win64, 3% on linux32, 1% on linux64

11% (way the most) had run 0-10 times the console before bricking, 7% 10-20 times, 3% 21-30 times
[Desire General] The Professor:
Stock cable and front-port USB on a very strong system. :)

It does look like an overwriting issue. kubino found some overwritten sections in misc.img.
[Desire General] :
Thats good news, we are getting close i feel;) Now we just need someone brave enough to flash;)

Hello, I'm a bit lost :confused:

I have a Desire with a goldcard and a HTC 2.1 stock rom instead of an Orange initial rom.

When trying to flash to froyo, I see the following error : "device not found" and "adb device" says "no device" while when the phone is normally started it is well recognized (I can change the bootanimation.zip for instance).

Do you confirm my phone is USB bricked or is it something else? (Vista 32 bits)
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Doesn't sound like a USB-Brick to me.

If you have an ext partition on your SDCard, reformat it.

That's how udb from #modaco resolved this issue when flashing froyo.

Hope that helps.
[Desire General] The Professor:
Do a full format anyway - start with a nice clean SD that's FAT32. Do a full wipe in recovery, then try again. FroYo isn't compatible with ext, which is why it might matter.
[Desire General] lsmgeb89:
