[HD2 General] Wingnutt:
I just got my new HD2 this morning, previously I had a G1.

when I ordered the HD2, i specifically asked how i should move my contacts, since the android phone stores everything on G-mail.

they guy told me to download T-MOBILE MYBACKUP.

and do the back up.. yadda yadda long story short.. it doesent work with the HD2 according to them..

so they told me to go through active sync.. and on the first screen enter a server of m.google.com.

well the first screen doesent ask for a server address, it asks for an e-mail address.. well they have no idea about that.. so they just told me to put in my g-mail address.. but stressed that it needs to be @googlemail.com not @gmail.com.. ok whatever..

next I got to the screen THAT DOES have the server which i did put m.google.com, and my gmail password. Ileft domain blank as directed.

I hit finish, it said syncing, then pops up a screen asking that I "correct my exchange server settings"

the only "settings" i know of are my user name and password, which are correct (check on PC).

their next excuse.. errr Idea is that since the phone i new i need to let it charge for 4 hours... that's right, she just blurted that out, almost like a spasm.. I told her the phone is currently ON the charger.. soo.. yea

next she says "well it still shows your on your "old" internet plan, and the new one will not take effect till tomorrow, but its a 2 to 48 hour window on that, so thats probably why it wont sync..

to which I replied "its saying the server info is not correct, what does that have to do with my data plan?"

"oh its weird how all that works, but just wait and see and if by sunday its still doing it, call us back"

I feel like a dumb guy who is also the smartest guy in the room.

The bad news: T-mo employees don't exactly know a whole lot on average when it comes to the higher-end phones in particular. They just don't have nearly enough training on them.

The good news: You've got us now, and don't have to ask them questions like that any more ;)

our boy snarksneeze put together a great guide to syncing with your google contacts on the HD2...have a read, I think it'll get you to where you need to be:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Inspired by nebenezer, I decided to make a mod for removing the battery icon from the taskbar.

For anyone who already runs a battery widget on their homesceen, or another app that reports battery statistics in the taskbar, removing the default battery icon can help free up some space on the taskbar for other icons, cleaner look, etc.

Not exactly sure of the level of interest for the community at large, but since the mod was accomplished, I figured we might as well release it.

This mod is mutually exclusive of the clockless taskbar mod, and as such, if you flash this mod, you will re-introduce the clock to your taskbar, and vice-versa.

No Battery Taskbar <--- Flash via recovery

Note: This replaces a framework file. Initial reboot will take a while as your cache is being rebuilt.

Reference:

Update: Based on requests, below is a mod combining the removal of BOTH the battery icon & clock.

No Clock & No Battery Taskbar <--- Flash via recovery

Reference:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
Will this work with the remove clock mod?

Could the same be done for the crosshairs, alarm clock, 3g/signal?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Sweet! Good job Surf! Will DL when I get home to try it out. :D

Re: [MOD] Remove Battery Icon from Taskbar - Fresh 2.1.2

Great work man, was bored at work and dl'd and flashed, I love it. I was never a big fan of the battery icon, it just seemed out of place with the green. Thanks to your various mods my phone is just about perfect.

Any way you can make it so both (clock and Battery) will be removed. Thanks. :)

I'm using the Aloysius rom, would this be compatible with it? i would like to have a clean taskbar and this is all I see (so far) to do this lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Don't think so, as I don't think that ROM is based off of the final 2.1 release as of now.

You could apply the original clockless taskbar mod only, as it was done based on Fresh 2.0d, which was based on the same Sprint leak. The battery or battery/clock combo was based on the final.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] usq:
shoot. kind of figured as much. i just switched to darchdroid and really like but it seems like there are not that many neat hacks out for it. i might have to get off my lazy ass and start doing something about that. :rolleyes:

cheers,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Thanks! I get bored a lot and always like to try new stuff out. I am using Aloysius on the Eris. So Im sure this would work on the Hero version as well. Keep up the good skills man.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jstamm:
Any chance this mod can be done in the DamageControl 2.0.8 ROM? If so let me know how I can accomplish it. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raphifix:
If I flash either of these mods, will my custom bar go back to stock? Or is the battery section of the file just removed?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kzn:
will this work with fresh 2.3.3?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
This will work on....fresh 2.3.3, damage 2.09, stock deodexed rom, zenhero, blue echo, red dawn, maybe aloyous and other older sprint leaks. Only one way to find out...just nandroid first.

Darchdroid already has this mod in it as does buffed I think.

This will not change anything if u just flash the battery percentage mod.

There is a circle battery download to and that will change a lot of things unless its in a metamorph version.

Hope that helps
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zachg432:
Is there any way to make this work with the vanilla lock screen mod?

I'm running nfinite's stock rom + the 2.1 vanilla lock and when I flash this mod the vanilla lock now displays time in blurry black text.

Ideally, I'd like to run the following:

1) Vanilla lock from 2.1

2) No clock

3) The battery display mod from the ZenHeroFX thread

Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Not sure you're in the right thread here. This is the no battery or no battery & no clock mod, there's a different mod for JUST no clock.

However, all of the mods do not touch anything regarding the lockscreen. There is something else you are flashing that would be affecting that, but not sure what.

Can you link me to the exact file you flashed?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zachg432:
Sorry if this is not the right thread.

Here is a link to the 3 updates I was flashing: http://drop.io/3lmzzfg
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Okay, you've got a couple of issues going on with the files you've chosen.

First in your zip is: noBattery_taskbar_fresh_2.1.2.zip, which, as the name implies, is to remove the battery (not the clock), while last in your zip is: ZenHeroFX_percent_battery_signed.zip, which adds the battery back, undoing the first zip referenced above. Not only does it add the battery back, it then modifies your framework-res.apk, undoing the framework-res.apk that got applied for the Vanilla Lockscreen No Text, the other file in your zip! Did you get all that?

So, your best bet is to apply the no clock mod, if this is what you were truly looking for, then the vanilla lockscreen zip file you already have. Lastly, for the battery percent mod, you either have to manually pull the battery icons from its framework-res.apk and insert into your framework-res.apk on your phone, after applying the vanilla lock no text mod, or have the creator put it together as a MetaMorph, to prevent undoing the changes to framework-res.apk done by the vanilla lock mod, which is what is happening when you then flash the battery mod you are using from recovery.

Shew! Did you get all that?
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.

So I guess I won't be around here as much.

This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.

The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid. :D

With a keyboard.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
What did you do to it?
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next :)) I know we'll see you around......

.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them :p You'll be a hero......haha.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.

[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
They could have ordered you one and had it to you over night? That's what they did at my Sprint Store. They didn't have it in stock so they ordered it. Was here the next day at 3pm. Hmm Enjoy the Moment. :D

[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Is there any registry trick or tweak program to lock (disable) hardware buttons during incoming ring ?

My problem is that when phone rings and I'm trying to take it from case sometimes I accidentally press "disconnect" button (red button on T-Mobile US HD2).

I dont want to install any custom lock software like S2U or something like that ... just registry change.

Any help ?

Nobody can help ?

Both are applications, there is no reg tweak that will do what you want without an app behind.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MacCarron:
Hi guys, i don't know about you, but the only thing that annoys me about our beloved Desire is its tiny-nigh-invisible notification led. Aside from the very short blinking time (which can be tweaked), if the phone is charging it simply doesn't show anything when a new sms/email/whatever is received, as the led is in his fixed orange state. I come from a Hero and used to LOVE the blinking trackball..while i find it pretty darn stupid that HTC did not include a simple led in the Desire trackball, i realized that in theory we could achieve a pretty decent result by using the backlighting of the 4 hard keys, making them blink when necessary...Now my knowledge of linux, android etc is pretty limited, so i'm asking to whomever will listen :p, can it be done? Since the backlight appears to be triggered by the ambient light sensor, i realize it might not be that easy...any thoughts?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bengaal:
Very Nice Idea!

But is it possible? I also would like to know..............
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
What trackball would that be, because the Desire doesn't have one! ;)

That little "hole" in the optical trackpad *is* the optical trackpad, so they couldn't put an LED in it.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
Would be cool if that backlight for the hardware keys could be configured to change colour for SMS/Mail/Call so it would work even in low light conditions where it is lit white... :p

Yeah, far fetched, I know. The LED colour notifications is something I miss from my older routine immensely.

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] MacCarron:
Yeah i meant trackpad but wrote trackball. I guess they could have put a series of leds around it in a circle or whatever, you get the idea, that's not the point :p:p:p
[Desire Themes and Apps] Geggan:
Another similar idea I have is to use the camera flash for notifications.

Any thoughts about that?

Might be possible even for non rooted devices like my own.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jjackson81281:
I'm giving my son my old Fuze, what would be the best ROM to flash for him to use.

I'm wanting stable and simple to understand.

Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cassetti:
What a parent!

I highly suggest the EnergyROM series - read around and find the right version (something stable, perhaps not the latest version) - I have always found EnergyRom to be very slick, easy to use, and includes practically all the software he could want to get started using the phone.

The only thing really missing is extra games which you know he's going to want.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Armazia:
Just simply add this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=464758
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Cassetti:
Yes you can add that arcade pack. I did install the largest one - but the games are so so- there really isn't that much entertainment in those games.

Plus most of them are old - real old, like not compatible with VGA all that well kinda old. There are some cool games starting to show up on the Marketplace, but yeah - there is a way to easily add a ton of games to any rom.

Still my vote is for an EnergyROM

T-mobile says if I dont like the phone I can send it back.

remember to backup messages, contacts....

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
I went to bed and plugged it in at 3am (battery was at 30%).

I woke up at 11am and my X10 was frozen and showing the time as 7am and notification showed a missed call (phone never rang).

I pulled battery and it is now stuck in at reset loop.

All I get is: Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>"Activating phone">Reset>Rogers Splash screen>etc....

If I hold menu while it resets it says Safe Mode at the bottom, but still resets.

If I leave it after it resets a few dozen times it just completely freezes on the "Activating Phone" screen and I have to do a battery pull.

I tried it with and without SIM card and with and without memory card. No change.

It is possible that when I went to sleep and plugged it in I didn't actually plug it in as the extension cord I have my charger plugged into is tempermental. The reason I mention this is because I have found a bunch of examples of this same thing happening to other people when their battery completely drains (no solutions, just other people that had the same thing happen). Also the first time it was looping it was saying that my battery was less than 2%, so I replugged it in.

What can I do? Any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticreaver:
run pc companion or seus and repair the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Thanks for the help.

When I google "PC Companion" the first link is for Sony Ericsson PC Companion, so I assume that is what you meant, but when I follow the link the SE website tells me it is not compatible with the X10. (?)

So I just downloaded SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and it is installing now, but since my phone is only active for 0.5 seconds at a time I doubt it'll work...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticreaver:
follow the instructions for SEUS completely. as i remember, you don't even need to have the phone turned on for it to repair the software.

the program allows you to choose the phone and then repair the phone by pressing the back button (hold it) while inserting the usb cable into the phone, the program will then tell you to release the back button and it will give you the option to repair.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fm1776:
How would he run repair in PC companion if he can't mount?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticreaver:
so use SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarylandCookie:
Mounting it is not a requirement for SEUS, it needs to be in flash mode which is achieved by holding down the back button whilst using SEUS as rightly pointed out by arcticreaver..
