1. Do I need to take my SIM card out so I don't lose my contacts when I hard reset and/or install the HD2 firmware update?

The reason you take it out is not to avoid zapping your contacts. Nothing will ever wipe out your contacts short of a freak accident or doing it on purpose. As for taking it out, I know it's recommended most of the time.

2. Will I still be able to flash a rom if I install the HD2 update, pending on whether the update fixes the glitches on the phone?

Yes

3. If I go the flash a rom route, is it often that people turn their phones into bricks?

Only if you're illiterate and can't follow directions for some reason. Nothing personal. Most of the bricks I see are from people flashing ROMs for the Euro HD2 model. Coming from the TP2, people used to flash CDMA ROMs to their GSM TP2 all the time, and guess what happened? Bricked.
[HD2 General] MA81:
Thanks so much for answering those queries.

I've hit a fork in the road though. I did a hard reset successfully, however when I connect my phone to the PC for active sync to install the software update, I get a CONNECTION error. My pc is not recognizing the phone, and the only other item available is a mac. This sucks!

Great read!

Very informational and entertaining guide. I read it word for word and didn't mean to.:D
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I updated the guide a little and I plan to write a big post on custom ROMs and my experience with them later today.

Nexus One custom user-agent

I tried the Nexus One custom user-agent, but notice no difference. I know I entered the information correctly because I copied and pasted from this thread, then scrolled down to the bottom and saved. Am I missing something? Thanks.
[HD2 General] swaser18t:
Same thing here. I tried both of them. (iphone & nexus) Tried on opera 9.7 and 10. Wouldn't have anything to do with being HSPL'ed would it? Any help would be great.

Thanks:eek:
[HD2 General] imakul8:
Yeah, I tried the iphone also... Youtube is still the mobile version. I tried a few sites...no change for me.:confused:
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
You all did save the changes, right? I forgot to mention that I believe. You have to scroll all the waaaaay down and hit save. Also, go to www.ipchicken.com and seeing what it reports your user agent as. If it is different than Opera and you don't get Android mobile websites, then it's entirely possible I copied the wrong one.

No version of Opera can display the new Youtube mobile site, it just doesn't have the capability.
[HD2 General] swaser18t:
Yes saved. Yes ipchickin reports nexus user agent. Still pulls mobile sites
[HD2 General] imakul8:
I had never head of ipchicken, but cool tool. It confirmed that I'm using the Nexus One browser. Hmmm...well I like the Opera browser, just wanted to have an alternative.;)
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I edited the user agents. I probably copied some obscure one that didn't work. I can verify the (new) Android one works because that's what I'm using. If it doesn't work for you, just google "Browser of choice User agent" and slap it in and see if it works.

If you go to digg, it will ask you to download the Android or iPhone app so that's a good way to confirm if it works.
[HD2 General] moykie:
Thanx for all the great info; greatly appreciated ......
[HD2 General] imakul8:
Went to Digg and it wanted me to download the Android app. Oh, well, I give up on this...too much other stuff to try.:D
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Isn't that want you want? Hit No Thanks and it'll give you the Android-formatted version of Digg. If you go to any other website that supports it, you'll get the page designed for Android which the phone can display perfectly. What exactly do you want?
[HD2 General] imakul8:
Nah, Digg is not something I dig. I thought you were saying go there for testing purposes. Anyway, I guess I wont benefit from it with the sites frequent, which aren't many. Thanks anyway.
[HD2 General] bkalday:
just got the hd2 and this guide really transformed the phone. maybe microsoft should start reading these blogs. this thing is frickin amazing!!!! But one quick question my pc runs windows 7 and has Activesync on it, but i can't get it to find device or set up a partnership.....Any insite ???

Thanks
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
By Activsync installed you mean Windows Mobile Device Center, right? I've seen some threads on here about you problem and it seems to be a somewhat common issue. My only advice is to search for related threads.
[HD2 General] thecurious1:
Thank you SO much for the information. I have a question however. when I went to download the BSB tweaks the post said it was necessary for me to have the Net cf 3.5 file must be installed. Do I have to install this file before I install the BSB tweaks? thanks so much.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I am like 97% sure the stock T-mobile ROM has 3.5 installed by default.
[HD2 General] imakul8:
...and I am 100% sure.:D
[HD2 General] brucegil:
Windows 7 connection problem: See if this helps. From page 132 of the User Manual (found at both the HTC and T-Mobile web sites under Support).

Troubleshooting sync connection problem

In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the connection with your phone in favor of the Internet or network connection.

If this happens, slide to the Settings tab of the Home screen, tap Other > USB to PC, and then clear the Enable faster data synchronization check box. This makes your computer utilize a serial USB connection with your phone.
[HD2 General] LifewareSolutions:
Thanks for mentioning Deluxe Moon at "Awesome Applications" section.

We have tested it on multiple Android devices as well as iPhones. The picture on HD2 is the best.

All proposals/suggestions are welcome as usual.

Thank you Thank you so much for this wonderful post. I am a new HTC_LEO owner and when I stumbled upon this forum and then did some exploring, I found this fantastic post.

Hi there I love my Nexus, but these are the 2 major things I cannot stand:

1)3G sometimes goes away to make room for Edge.

2)The volume of the earpiece is really low.

Any ideas on how to fix at least the second one?

[EVO 4G General] notown775:
If you buy an EVO 4g off craigslist:eek: for the price they are selling them for, you deserve it. I think it'd be cheaper to buy it on a new line for 199.99 and take the ETF.. LOL
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
all the ones around the atlanta area were for around $650... I think I can wait a week and get mine for $199.

However, I can't say it didn't cross my mind to bust out my check book.

I wish I could just put myself into a cryogenic sleep for 10 days.

... on a side note, that might be the nerdiest, most pathetic thing I've ever said.
[EVO 4G General] Tenny:
There's more of a cost than just ETF, taxes, etc...

I got mine pretty cheap, cheaper than the $199 cost + ETF, so for me anyway I won at your logic..

Plus if you get one of the I/O phones, you get an extra $10 off your monthly cost (which they don't list it as a year or two year thing either...) because it's a dev phone.
[EVO 4G General] notown775:
where'd you get one for less then 199???????????/ tell me plzzzzzzz :)

Someone here in Orange County was selling his boyfriend's for 350, he said he got it for a tech blog to review and just needed to get rid of it. Don't think they knew how much it really was worth. D;
[EVO 4G General] Tenny:
$199 + ETF is not less than $199.

I myself am going a route that is not to be discussed on this forum... but I don't want to buy a phone for $450 + Taxes (around here it's roughly 10%), so in the end it'd have been close to $500. So instead of that, I paid less than $400 with a free month of service (including 4g, and the option to go the dev plan route later).

But yes, $600-700 is too much, but there's a decent amount of people out there with more money than time. Just like Wii, iPhone, etc.
[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
I paid 500 for mine straight up, new in box. After having it a week I will say it was worth every penny! This is the device I have been waiting for all my life.
[EVO 4G General] turn:

[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
Same here. I'm not remotely eligible for upgrade yet, so I'd be paying $450 + tax for it anyway. $500 for the phone and getting in on the $10 off via the Google I/O dev deal is worth it!

[Droid Incredible General] Pops_G:
So I am sure a lot of us Incredible owners have fresh 2 year Verizon contracts. When I signed up they told me I had 30 days to decide if I wanted to keep it.

I LOVE my Incredible, but now the EVO is coming out just before my 30 day window to switch. It is basically the same exact phone with a larger screen and I am very tempted.

Is anyone else in the same boat? And if so what made you decide one way or the other.
[Droid Incredible General] Pops_G:
I will add a view points I am considering.

EVO +

Sprint will cost about $10 less a month vs Verizon

Larger Screen

LCD screens do not get burn in. I am reading that AMOLEDs do, a lot of nexus one users are reporting it.

Already Rooted

Option to disable SenseUI

Sharper looking text

Front camera

Incredible +

Better network coverage

Smaller in pocket

Screen has better colors

Optical pad(EVO has no optical pad or trackball)

Smoother video recording

Possibly better battery life?!
[Droid Incredible General] codybear:
The fact that I'd have to pay 350 to cancel my contract, then buy the phone through Sprint and start a new contract and loose my 5-6 years of service I've had through Alltel/Verizon.

It's not worth it IMO to cancel and then pay to get the phone. If my contract was over however, I would have considered going to Sprint and getting the Evo. But in actuality to get the equivalent plan that I have on Verizon, it would cost alot more if I pay for the 4G...and IMO if you get that phone, and don't pay for 4G, it's a waste (unless you truly don't use apps or web).

Edit: But in the end it comes down to what you truly want.
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
You can't get the Evo, without paying the 4G extra $10
[Droid Incredible General] Pops_G:
You can cancel your contract within the first 30 days. Without penalty. Maybe a restocking fee at most.

Verizon:

450min & Unlim txt $59.99

Unlim data $30

Total: $90+tax&fees

Sprint EVO plan.

450min & Unlim txt & data $69.99

EVO $10

Total: $80+tax&fees

[Droid Incredible General] jonnybueno:
If Sprint had any reception where I live, I'd do it. Seems like it'd be a fun phone to get and not a bad price point either.
[Droid Incredible General] madman34:
My opinion, for what it is worth

I would not do it simply because when we (VZW) starts deploying LTE with 100mbps 4g and passes Sprint's slower WiMAX deployment, HTC will have an even cooler and faster unit (I know this because I have seen a proto of it that was here at corperate a few days ago, just a plastic model with no name yet but it looks cooooooool, salesmen) you will be kicking yourself for having to flop back to get the new one. Also look at if Sprint has deployed WiMAX where you are anyway, probably not. Also coverage, what good is it if call quality suffere ????
[Droid Incredible General] jonnybueno:
That's a good point. I would weigh my options if I were in his position. He's gonna need to find out who provides the best coverage. I'd recommend a one year contract.
[Droid Incredible General] eazid:
Comes down to network coverage and quality. Both are great phones. But I'll stick with Verizon. Nation wide LTE by 2013. They have the pls and the means. Not to mention the incredible is perfect for me. I don't video chat with anyone. Overall the evo isn't that much more appealing that I'd want it over the incredible. Oh almost forgot... I don't want an enormous phone.

The way I look at it, I got a heavily subsidized device and a hefty ETF.

I paid $99 (bought through Wirefly, $149 and $50 cash back from Bing). The ETF is a two year deal, prorated, at $350 from the start and working it's way down.

If I want out halfway through, I have to pay Verizon $175. Add $99 to that, and the cost of the phone to me is $274. Chances are I can sell the phone for close to that to another Verizon subscriber.

I'm playing wait and see for a year - if Sprint's 4G is for real and can hold up to the network traffic, I'll bite. If not, I'm safe.
[Droid Incredible General] drhill:
I wouldn't be so sure your ETF works that way. I know AT&T was $5 a month prorated. So if you went 23 months and canceled your original $180 etf would cost you $65. I know that is how mine worked last month when I paid $90 after 18 months.
[Droid Incredible General] MoreGone:
I'm willing to change phone like underwear for the right device and I have decided to hold off for now. Some of the biggest factors currently are

- no 4g in my area anyways

- nobody else I know has the front mounted cam for video calls

- size

I had the HD2 for a little over a week and let me tell you, beautiful piece of hardware but its approaching being to big at 4.3". I am thinking something at 4" would be a little better. Even a 3.7" screen is fine height wise, just seems like the Incredible could be wider IMO

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
I thought I was going crazy, but after extensive testing, I can confirm a consistent problem with the USB functions with Froyo on my phone. My computer (Win7 x64) detects the phone as an ADB device, but "adb devices" yields no results. When I try to mount the SD card, my computer also doesn't find the SD card whatsoever. I flashed back to stock 2.1-update 1 and had no problems with either function and flashed a clean install of 2.2, but the problem came right back. Anybody have any ideas?

I have an AT&T Nexus One running the Froyo update found in the 25 step guide and I installed CM's quick root solution (froyo-rooter-signed.zip). I was running a custom Amon_RA recovery, but I just flashed it back to stock recovery. My kernel is 2.6.32.9 and I'm on the 4.06 radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
Really, nobody else is having this same problem or could share some insight?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:

As for adb, have you tried upgrading to the 2.2 sdk?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
No custom kernel as I've only flashed the releases that have come with ROM's.

I did download the new SDK, uninstalled the ADB drivers, reinstalled them with the ones found in the new SDK, ran cmd from the new SDK folder location, and still the same results.

Thinking about just going back to 2.1 to try out CM 5.0.7.1 until the real Froyo comes out.

Still no luck even after reinstalling the drivers. My computer recognizes the phone as both a mass storage device and an ADB device in device manager, but neither actually work. I'm going to try it again tonight on another computer in the house and see if that works.

I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this issue. I can't be the only person who followed the Froyo guide for an AT&T Nexus One (twice) and can't get these features working, can I?
