[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Any one else receiveing phone calls from random long distance numbers lately? They hang up as soon as I answer. But everyone I have talked to on Sprint is getting the same thing happening. It's happened 4 times to me today. 3 to my wife and 3 to her cousin. And a few other people.

uhhh, pay your bills dude..

haha jk

I havent gotten any calls like that but I have gotten some weird ass texts about reply for this or that, shady spammers :(
[Hero CDMA General] thatguythatdid:
Yeah I was getting that for about a month from two numbers then i put them on straight to voicemail. I think sprint sells our numbers to telemarketers
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I actually think they sell our numbers too. For about 3 months I was getting calls from debt collectors asking for someone named "Laurie Wheeler", who I obviously am not. They kept calling no matter what I said to them (I even got so PO'd that I started swearing at them), so eventually I just asked Sprint to change my number. I haven't had any weirdass calls since.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
I've not received any strange calls...LOL. You guys are wrongly paranoid about Sprint IMO.

My advice to you is to be cautious when including your phone number on any promotion, advertisement or to any company that may resell your information.

I had to opt out of solicitation recently when signing up electricity and gas for my house.. WTH? :mad:
[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
A couple years ago they started allowing you to add your cell phone to the federal no call list. www.donotcall.gov I also have found that the call/hangup is very common from Capital One if you have an account with them. Just type the number into google and it will sometimes tell you who it is.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
Its very common to get recycled numbers. I found this out when i was using prepaid services for a long time. Tmobile is notorious for this and sprint is as well. I would every now get a call asking for the same person from debt collectors. Call sprint and ask if your number is recycled from a overdue or past account.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Sprint likes to give out numbers before the mandatory 1 year holding period that is required after a phone number has been deactivated. When this happens, if the person before you is in serious debt and you get their number, the collectors will call you, call you and call you and will not stop, even if you tell them you will be contacting your lawyer for phone harassment because the person they're looking for is not YOU.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I kept getting calls from the same debt collection agency. They were looking for "Michael Vampas".
[Hero CDMA General] ukn0wnscaa:
Most I ever got were a few spam texts saying that I should reply to get free something or another for 9.99 a month. I just ignored the texts and it stopped.

I use RedBox and would like to access RedBox on my HTC HD2 through a dedicated app, like Blockbuster-On-Demand or NetFlix. Does anyone know of a RedBox app for WinMo?

I tried to get the one from Modaco but I can't because my account has never been activated there.

[General Questions and Answers] MasterColdSoul:
I am wondering if anyone could point me to any good Android phones out, or coming out that meet the following items..

GSM (Must)

Have Android 2.2 at release, or for SURE be able to upgrade to it (Must)

3G + Wifi + Wifi Sharing (Must)

Built in keyboard (Must)

Good Screen (Must, prefer something like Nexus One has with 400x800 capability)

I would prefer a 1ghz speed, but a 600-800 would be acceptable. I don't care about camera or that. I prefer if it is able to get 3G speeds on TMobile's bands.

I don't really care about price, but the phone needs to be able to be bought with no contract, and be unlockable and also hopefully rootable.

I know there is the Nexus one (No keyboard), MyTouch Slide (slow processor) but is anything else better coming out?

I hear there is something just like this coming out this summer for TMobile (Project Sapphire) but I was wondering if anyone knew about anything else like this being offered?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] HustlinDaily:
I think your best bet would be to wait through the summer for Project Emerald. It is rumored to be the Sidekick Twist which will have a QWERTY, a 4.3" screen, Snapdragon processor, and HTC Sense. If it is not shipped with 2.2, it should defin get it.

Also MyTouch Slide has a 600MHz processor, and HTC said all phones they release this year will get 2.2 soon (no clue what soon means). So if you are willing to go into the midrange, then it is a nice option.

That is all I know. If you are willing to drop the QWERTY requirement, then you can get a Nexus.
[General Questions and Answers] MasterColdSoul:
Thanks for the reply. I am most likely going to then get a G1 to hold me over until the Sapphire comes out and I can choose between it the Nexus one and the MyTouch Slide. I really want a hardware keyboard though as I have had WinMobile with keyboard and non-keyboard and I greatly enjoyed the keyboard for to many things you can't duplicate on a non-keyboard items such as playing games.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phimtau123:
My g1 is acting very weird as it would work fine and all the sudden would just shut down by it self and a blue LED light appear. I can fix this by removing the battery and restart it.

Anyone know what is causing this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phimtau123:
Also i notice that if the phone is charging this never happen....it only happen when the phone is not plug in....could the battery have anything to do with it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djteotancolis:
is there any way to use a sidekick plan on a g1 phone?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
That is crazy! Sounds like a bad lemmon... more likely the maps program didn't install correctly when it was flashed at the factory... have you tried using it with GPS turned off? This would isolate the issue to whether it is the maps app, or the GPS unit itself.

In either case, I would have the phone warranty swapped. Even if you could just re-install Google Maps, and it would be fixed, I would still be worried it was something more substantial. If you wouldn't be worried, and a re-install of google maps fixes it and that is good for you, there are places to get the .apk for google maps. I am at work, so no link is possible to a download for the google maps app on my end right now.
[Nexus One General] monkeyboy0076:
I agree that there is probably something wrong with the hardware. I did notice that there was a maps update available in the marketplace (sometime between the 2nd and 4th factory resets) but upgrading didn't seem to make a difference. I have contacted both Google and HTC support hoping that they will offer me a replacement device. However, I'm worried that the US holiday on Monday may slow my progress on the issue.

Thanks for the tips anyway!
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Welcome! I would just demand that they declare it Dead On Arrival... that way they will ship you a brand new unit, then you return yours in the pre-paid packaging they send you. You probably won't get it until Tuesday/Wednesday because of the holiday.

Hey guys, I've recently updated to the leaked Froyo update and occured some problems. My phone worked fine the first couple days, but now for the last two my facebook app doesn't work. Ive tried whiping, reinstalling the update, clearing cache for the app, and re logging back into it. The error message I keep getting is:

"An error has occuried while fetching data. [null]"

I've never seen this kind of error before, and can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions? I had CM5.0.6 on before this if that info helps. If you need anything else from lemme know, caz I'm out of ideas
[Nexus One General] umplarry:

Not androids fault. Blame it on facebook. Its on their end.

[Nexus One General] ArcanaXVIII:
Facebook just changed the users privacy settings once again, so that's why.

It's working again today.

Hopefully, with the Android Facebook SDK released yesterday, it won't be too long before we get a really good facebook app like the one on the iPhone (as opposed to the crap we have now).
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Ever seen the Windows Mobile Facebook? The current Android one is awesome compared to it.. Never looked at it on the iPhone.

And gee, I was right.. They were adding more "Privacy" settings. Funny how they use the word "Privacy".
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
Not sure if any of you saw this or not but I trust in Eric Tseng. He's been at Facebook about two weeks and he's already getting stuff done. http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/385

Btw the error fetching data happens to me too. It happens all the time and they have to end up updating again. Have faith in Tseng!! He just needs more time. :-)

I had that error too, it went away early this morning...

also, I cannot wait to see what the next facebook app has in store with the SDK being released...does this mean our facebook client will equal or even surpase the iPhone one?

[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
I read on Twitter about a report that some Samsung Behold II owners are thinking of suing the manufacturer for failure to upgrade their Android phones.

I think the issue is deeper. It has to do with ALL manufacturers and phone company providers. They ALL seem to have a different view as to when to upgrade the phones even after Google provided them for free. Can you imagine if your PC's Window updates are being delayed because HP, Dell, Sony etc have decided to further customize whatever Microsoft did?

If the manufacturers and telcos are unwilling to provide updates, maybe the distribution model should be changed. In the same way that Microsoft charges for a new upgrade (Windows XP - Windows ??? - Windows 7). How about if Google charges, lets say $5 and you can upgrade via the market (cupcake - donut - Eclair - Floyo).

See this article about Samsung owners: http://androidoperatingsystem.net/2010/05/27/samsung-behold-ii-owners-consider-legal-action-over-lack-of-android-2-x-upgrade/
[XPERIA X10 General] robbyf66:
I agree, 'open source' isn't so open. we are locked out of what we can do with the software when the software is suppose to be free and open. I had always thought it was still odd.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
The X10 is doing exactly what was advertised by Sony Ericsson. We can be angry for inexistent software updates, but the X10 was advertised with 1.6. Open source does mean nothing. SE has released the full source for the kernel, so they have fully complied to the GPL license. Absolutely no room for lawsuits IMHO.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
actually its true.

they are trying to prevent advancement of the Android OS.

with all the technology ..dont tell me they cant release a goddamn update for a mobile OS.

they dont want Android competing with their other products...coz android is so much powerful
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Are you high? Drunk?

Since when was truthfully advertising a product's abilities something worthy of a lawsuit?

SE advertised the phone as coming with 1.6. They also promised an update to 2.1 in Q4 2010. What is it now? Q2 2010. How in the **** is someone going to get angry that they don't release something earlier than what they said? There's absolutely no laws being broken. SE doesn't even have to update the phone! There's no legally binding agreement that says they have to or will.

Y'all need a serious reality check.

And really, what does 2.1 do that you can't do in 1.6? Even 2.2 for that matter? Because that matters so much on a cell phone. The phone may become faster, it may not. The phone is exactly as advertised on every single video, picture, and text that SE has released, so I'm not disappointed.

MOD EDIT - Removed vulgarity
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
There are some nice app I can't use because of not being on 2.X : pdaNet tether via bluetooth for exemple.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
Why do you need to come to insults. Did I write anything in my original post that I wasn't happy as it is now. My opinion has to do with the way manufacturers and telcos view the OS, which is a little bit different than what Google does. Otherwise, Google would not have done what it did for 2.2, make future OS updates independent of what the manufacturer does.

From my own experience with the Rogers Magic, it took almost a revolt from the subscribers before HTC and Rogers promised an update to 2.1.

Please read the link regarding the Samsung. Sometimes, manufacturers need to be pressed to keep their promises. I have been reading about SE. While I am currently happy with the X10a, I also read that SE has a history of not fulfilling their promises (aka X1 Windows mobile updates). But that was not the point of my original post. My point is that ALL manufacturers and telcos should be held accountable for future updates, not just out of their good will, but as a requirement.

I do expect an apology from you for the insulting way you wrote your response.

[PS to moderator: Please review and decide]
[XPERIA X10 General] impreziv:
so you want to sue them because they don't hold the same attitude towards Open-source software, that Google does?

I agree with iead1. calm down, nobody is obligated to provide you with a new version of an Operating system. They arent even obligated to fix bugs, unless it interferes with a feature that they clearly advertised.

MOD EDIT - Abusive language removed
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
I agree with the above, the phone does much more than any other phone I've ever had, it does everything better and faster.

2.1/2 would be good and I am sure they will come eventually. But I seriously don't see enough benefits from what my phone does at the moment to justify all the anger seen on this forum in the past couple of weeks.

As said above, the phone does exactly what was advertised and more.

Help! HTC raphael - tried every rom there is and still can't believe all the buttons I have to push to end a call and go home. First, the screen blacks out while on a call, so when the call is over I have to hit the power button to bring the screen back, then hit the end button (assuming the screen hasn't magically gone to something else), then hit an x button to leave the caller's page, then hit the home button, then the power button to turn off the screen again.

Does anyone know of an app that can simply end a call and go home with one touch? Maybe a better dialer is what I mean? Thanks.
