Maybe no one who has the necessary skills actually wants to do it?

What about you - why don't you do it? Oh hang on......

Clearly from this statement you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Android is an open source OS, so you can download the source code and pretty much do whatever you want with it.

WinMo on the other hand is completely closed source, so you have nowhere near the same flexibility when it comes to porting.

You don't think that it's hard to do, by all means do it yourself since:

a) You want it

b) It's "serisouly serisouly" (sic) not hard to do!

Then maybe they should have bought a WinMo phone! Doh!

Dave
[Desire General] thingr:
If it ain't that hard, you go forward and show us how to successfully do it.

for a couple of possible reasons why it'd be impossible to do, see your own thread on this matter.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
Sure I do, but then again I'm a pretty informed user who scours forums like this as well as the interwebnets for every tidbit of information. I spend probably an hour a day, minimum, reading up on all the latest innovations with Android and such, so I know right away what's possible, impossible and not-quite-impossible-but-bloody-unlikely. But what about this guy? Anyone that posts on a forum with "Send replies to my email" obviously isn't too up on computers, so cut them a little slack. This thread could have been over with one post that just said "Look here: OLDTHREADWITHSAMEQUESTION", but instead people had to be ratty with their responses.
[Desire General] Aitese:
So basically this post could have been answered with the simple leg work HE was supposed to do? Brilliant.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
Would you prefer the 3+ pages of bull****, with people crawling out of the woodwork to repeatedly ask "Wait, no, why CAN'T that be done?". I know you hate the idea of doing the work the guy was supposed to do himself, but it's the lesser of two evils.

What is wrong with dual boot (or multi boot)

I bet every smartphone user will salivate on the idea. Flexibility is key. I would choose the device with the greatest appeal and best tech specs and install all the roms I like (and I dont mind if in one ROM bluetooth does not work...yet):cool:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
After looking at the top devices on the linpack benchmark test I want to find the Amhul/Pandora ROM... Its on a G1 pushing 15 MFLOPS... WAY better than the 3.5-4 Ive seen... Anyone know what Im talking about or where to get it?

[Palm Treo Pro] tiagotrentini:
Hi guys. Well, is not easy to say but this is my first thread openning. I have a Palm Treo from Germany and would like put portuguese language. Doing a hard reset, the system only offer somes deutch languages. No other language is available. I ask for some software to flash the phone, actually i dont know how this treo works, but all other cell phones is easy to change. Somebody could help me? If i cant do anything please tell me for return this item to my costumer. I can pay USD 20.00 if the software works in portuguese. Tks
[Palm Treo Pro] trickbiker121:
its possible to get Portuguese language ROM on your phone i am assuming it is an GSM Phone if it is then if you want WM 6.5 i would recommend Mord4z's ROM link which he made a Portuguese ROM and if you want to stay in 6.1 you have 2 options

1. flash a stock Portuguese ROM link big thanks to PJonDevelopment

2. flash a newer 6.1 Portugese version made by me link

hope these suggestions help you find a good solution

o and be fore you flash any of these ROM's make sure to do hardSPL first check this thread before flashing ROMs link to HardSPL
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] poly_poly-man:
Well, today I dropped my Fuze... face down into a muddy/sandy puddle. No water damage, no big cracks, the springs are still tight and everything...

...huge nick in the screen. Still works, but it's ugly and feels bad. I had been wanting to replace anyway, as the previous owner put some little annoying scratches in there.

Fortunately, it seems that, instead of a ~$60 repair like it was when my kaiser's touchscreen randomly cracked, HTC seperated out the touch from the screen, so I'm looking at only about $15-20?

Will any touch pro touch screen (like the sprint one, which I've actually found) fit? Also, can someone point me to some place I might get them (like, a reputable seller instead of the places I've found thus far) - it's REALLY hard to search for "touch pro touch screen", especially when you get all the software problems.

EDIT: meh, found a decent supplier with decent shipping for the AT&T one... no more problems, just quietly ignore this post (why is there no delete???)

[G1 General] Kemekill Products:
well you look at the fingerprint attacked to it and tell me what it says. Everyrom has one and that aligns with an OTA. it may have been run through and Emulator but fingerprints don't lie thats why they're there.
[G1 General] junkdruggler:
anyone can change a build.prop or change whatever they want inside a rom... if you read all the G1/dream runs one says -eclair but DRC83 1.6-(DRC83 is donut) and another says -825.6MHz passion 2.1 rom-(I didnt know we could clock that high)

Im just wondering if there are some super roms in someones closet we might get to see one day or if some lil chinese guy (sorry for the stereotype) is doing great things we dont know about

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
I've been having some abnormal temperature in my N1 today, and it's got me a little bit worried. It's at 35ºC right now, while not doing anything. It's been a hot day alright, but I doubt that can have such a strong impact can it?

What is your phone's temperature when idle? What can be considered "outside normal"?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0nniez:
31c in the daytime, 28-30c at night.

i believe its safe, anything under 45c
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
It's weird though, it had never done that. I even turned it off for some time, but still. The antenna cover is definitely hot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
26.3°C right now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rori~:
26.6 'C here now..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Right now (indoors with cool temp) its at 80.6*F

Outdoors mine will get to about 90 - 95*F usually since I am using 3g, sometimes GPS, and the brightness is maxed out.

I dont let it get passed 99*F though since that would harm the battery. Good thing is though is it's never gotten to that point ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
32C right now. I've gone over 50C when using it as a GPS in sunny weather. Battery seems to be fine. Replacement battery at $25 (cheaper if you shop around), so I figured an average battery lifespan of 1 year isn't a big deal.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konqeror:
Damn, you guys have cold phones. Ive never seen my phone below 32c. Even if I check in the morning right when I wake up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
25C.

Lowest I've seen often is 21-22 C, but that is only overnight and I put my phone on airplane mode.

For those of you with hot phones, do you live in hot climates? I've noticed my phone stays warm when I'm out in the sun. :cool:

Also, make sure you don't have widgets/etc syncing all the time. I set them to 1 hour at most, and often 4 hours.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
29.6.......
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Running FroYo and OC kernel atm, so usually range from 26C-38C, anything higher than 40C freaks me out so I set up failsafe on SetCPU. Lowest I've got was 18C/19C with Enom's 1.8.1|IR's kernel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Got widgets, news, contacts & email synching all the time. So my phone is constantly over 30c. Goes under 30c at night time (less activity perhaps). Regardless, the battery should be sufficiently warmed if you want to keep a charge. Just don't hit the 50C mark too many times though, which is pretty much unavoidable when you use GPS a lot.

But I've noticed that after upgrading to Froyo 2.2 the battery seems to run cooler and drains much less compared to 2.1. That and a boost in performance is short of ingenious on Google's engineer's part.

However, I reverted back to CM 5.0.7.1 cuz it's just not as polished yet. Waiting for CM6 instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
I think there definitely is something wrong with the phone... I woke up and it was cool when I took it from the stand, then I browsed a couple web pages and I canalready feel it getting warm. It got burning hot when I charged it yesterday, too.

In case it is a hardware problem, what could be the cause?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
I've just removed the battery and, surprisingly, it's cool. It's the antenna cover, the plastic part at the bottom where it says HTC, that seems to be getting hot. Does that even make sense?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] t_assal:
when i call someone and that someone is on a call with another person, i should get a message saying that the person is on a call so that i'd know that he is busy with another call ..

Would appreciate if anyone can be of help here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Who says that you should receive a notice as to what the other person is doing when you call ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
yes, but that doesn't have nothing to do with your phone. It's a provider's (vendor/operator) service. And only some of them support it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nightcap79:
Actually @t_assal is correct, he meant if I call a guy who is calling someone else and this guy is activated the call waiting function, I have to get a message "waiting" and then you decide to continue disturbing him or to hang up.

Also @papo is correct that his is an operator thing.

But the problem that the operator send me back this waiting signal, and neither my iPhone nor my Nexus one shows this message, but my 10 years old Nokia show it. the same sim card used in the three phones for this test.

Which means the waiting signal which sent by the operator "maybe only Mr. t_assal's and mine" is not recognized by neither iPhone nor nexus1 (also winmo)

We need a solution
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
we need to make clear about this. Just to make post short and spare my brain waves, I supposed (wrongly?) he messed it up and is referring to sms which called party get after finish his call.

That's the service I've wrote about.

It's handy if you are off, turn phone on and receive message from Bob, but it's automated and saying he tried to call and you can hit call back btn. In some countries/operators it's common.

Why would I want a message saying Bill is busy on call, 5 secs after I hear beep beep from the line? But yes that would be phone function and it's possible to handle. It's a network message, nokia is showing them by default (and can't be turned off!!!! :-S )

Make an application showing message such as this is possible and there could be one. Just what the purpose?

Though there is one useful info there. After active call ends, phone will receive network message containing code, which describes reason of ended call: red button by called, caller, lost reception (out of coverage or battery), network error, network busy

If you often make people angry over line and they hang on you, with this cell code you can have an monthly statistic of upset people or whatever you want. aah just cant see any reason to have this eather :)

run windows\fieldtest.exe and check it there, that's good enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] satanm:
sorry to hear ppl who thinks they know it all and says bull****..

The fact is clear, whe u call some one who has HIS call waiting service active UR phone MUST indicate U the other person call status. that's what call waiting means. usually "call on waiting.." or something, but STILL ringing and the othrer person hears some indicator beep or someting , and HE desides to take the call or not.

the bug is Iphone 3gs, 4g (and nexus aparently) don't show this message "call waiting" like ALL other phones, in my case, OMNIA II, nokia, (with the same SIM card) shows the msg.

please don't coment if u dont know and PLEASE lowercase and regular font. NOOBS.

sorry for my bad english.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Who's the noob? You double posted and no this isn't a fact, I've never had a phone tell me when someone is on a call. There are some carriers that have a tone at the end of the ring to let you know they are on another call..

I think you are confusing your words, your phone should alert you (the person getting the call) that someone is calling you while on another line, it's not the other way..

Provide some info stating other wise that isn't half ass typed like the **** you are posting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] topdeal:
Yes it's true I had this problem since i started using PDA phones only (HTC Mda compact, then HTC Tytn 2 and the HTC HD2), I think problem only exists when using PDA phones because ''call waiting'' function is working on my all other symbian phones like (Samsung, Nokia, .... with symbian)

It might be with Windows mobile phones not sure, but don't know if there is any fixing for this specially for HTC HD2 ..

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] xanxitto:
My question is simple, I have a Droid and we all know it doesn't have a front facing camera.

I know smartphones are compatible with bluetooth mouses, headphones etc.

Do you guys thing it will work if I connect a bluetooth webcam to my Droid?

My idea is to clip the cam on my phone to have video conferences.
[HD2 General] Blairware:
I was lamenting on my lack of foresight, getting a HD2 without researching the different bands that AT&T and T-Mobile use for 3G coverage, when just the other day...

NOTE: This was on a call to AT&T Support and the tech tells me:

a) Once unlocked from TMOUS, I should do a search on "AT&T APN's" and that if I search diligently, I

will find APNs on AT&T's network that support HD2 3G Bands

b) AT&T techs, right in his data center have this working.

So I research a bit, and, apart form everyone and his brother professing to be 3G Band experts, and saying all I will see is Edge if I put the HD2 on AT&T. (Which is troublesome, since Wikipedia claims Edge is being dropped to facilitate more 3G bandwidth, so potentially I would lose even THAT).

Here is what official information I could find on the two:

The U.S. T-Mobile network predominately uses the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 1900 MHz frequency-band. T-Mobile's UMTS (3G) service is now active in over 30 major US cities

Further all official documentation states that AT&T uses:

* 850 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G

* 1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G

Finally look at my screenshot, taken from the GSM 3G toggle on the "Settings Tab" of Manila. I am running a NRG ROM (see signature) and I KNOW this is wishful thinking. This screen in particular is no doubt a function of the many devices NRG cooks for, but really, can anyone explain to me why this technically would NOT WORK (other than "just because", LOL)?
[HD2 General] Mase_Mase:
AT&T's CEO recently gave an interview and stated that the company's 3G service is being migrated to the 850MHz band with a target date of 2010:

http://www.intomobile.com/2009/02/24/att-3g-network-going-850mhz-nationwide-by-2010.html

For what it's worth, I think the Australian version of the HD2 might have a band that overlaps with US AT&T bands.
[HD2 General] Blairware:
Whos gonna buy me one?

Yes, I have been hearing the same. Problem is, I am not likely to fork out $$ for ANOTHER HD2. I just wanted to get the most out of the one I have. Thx!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
if something like this WAS possible, it would have to be through something like a rogue apn setup on non-standard frequencies on ATT's network...but good luck finding anything like that, it wouldn't be able to remain a secret if it existed. also, if the hd2 had the ability to use those native frequencies, it would have had to have been certified as such by the FCC (which of course it wasn't).

To summarize, the only way to make it happen is if ATT did indeed somehow sneak in alternative-frequency apn's across it's entire network. Let us know how the search for those turns out ;)
[HD2 General] ironcrotch:
Sorry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Its not physically possible. The hardware would have to be changed. They don't make radio chips with all the bands in it. I see this all the time, some random csr from whatever company says it can be done, but its just not true. Cell phones are designed and made for a specific company. They don't make universal radios and just turn off some bands. They don't exist, though I did read a few months back that Motorala was working on making one.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Although I understand the reason for your wishful thinking (and you did do some research which is always great), unfortunately it is just that and I'll gladly (though not happily) tell you why.

As you stated "U.S. T-Mobile network predominately uses the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 1900 MHz frequency-band" which is correct (and it also uses the 850 band for edge as well....though this is usually more 'roaming' aka you're using another companies cell tower because tmobile made a contract with them to allow you). You were also correct in stating that "Further all official documentation states that AT&T uses:

* 850 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G

* 1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 3G"

Also, ironcroth was also correct in quoting that "3G (UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+) service by T-Mobile exclusively uses the AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequency-band" which alone might not answer your question.

So where is the problem if both use 1900 and 850 bands? Well, the problem is that in the hardware, there is a difference between GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G/UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+. In other words, you can't use 1900 and 850 Edge frequency of the HD2's radio chip to get 3G (UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+); they are incompatible. This is why phone spects always list both seperatly and not just all the frequencies that it supports.

The above reason alone will make the TmoUSA HD2 incompatible with AT&T's 3G, but there's even more. When Tmobile says that it uses the (for example) 1900 frequency band for Edge, it doesn't actually mean that it uses 1900-1999 frequencies; instead it only uses a part of that spectrum (buying the full 100 frequency range would be expensive so they only buy what they need). Instead they only use maybe something like 1943-1978. And this range will likely not overlap with the frequncies that AT&T uses for their 3G (you can look up the exact values on the internet if you'd like). This second reason is why a european phone which supports 2100 band for 3g will not work on Tmobile's 3G 2100 frequncy (because they don't actually overlap).

Lastly (and I almost forgot to mention this), the screen shot you posted from your ROM can indeed be changed by a cook to whatever they want (though it won't actually make any difference since it all depends on the hardware). However, in this case, it's likely because htc actually made the error and never updated that screen and just used it from their previous builds from previous phones (this was stated on the forums before and I'm sure you'd be able to find it given some searching).

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Quite unlikely, the AWS bands are licensed to TMO, im sure TMO would notice real quick if there were unlicensed cell towers on the AWS band and the FCC would be slapping ATT with fines pretty quick. quite alot of work goes into setting up cell towers and the frequencies each cell segment runs on, If a rouge cell tower went up overlapping TMO's frequencies, all hell would likely break loose as far as customers being able to get usable service in the area.

also as far as the terminology APN's don't operate on a "frequency" an APN is more or less and authentication/proxy server on the data network after the data has transferred over the air interface.

Maybe the best way to think of it is similar to a cell tower being like a wifi access point, and the APN being like an authenticating router/firewall on a standard tcp/ip network. yeah i know its not quite the same, but that might be a simple way to visualize it for those familiar with networking
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Exactly :D

Right, very true...I should have said "apn's attached to alternative-frequency radios" ;) Are you a Ham d0ug?
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Haha no, though i do have scanners and listen in on HAMs sometimes and have read up on the stuff somewhat. never gotten myself licensed.

On the subject of scanners, there isnt all that much interesting to listen too anymore. Here in tampa the police and sheriff are on analog trunked now, so its impossible to follow anything without a trunking scanner, and about the only other things you can listen to are cabbies, tow truck drivers, aircraft, and hams. I don't even know why scanners still have the 800mhz blocks anymore, analog amps cellular has been dead a few years now. you find lots of digital noise scanning around though, just about everything is transmitted digitally now. i've got an icom R20 that goes from 150khz all the way upto 3ghz
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
So why don't you put in an AT&T sim card with a 3G data plan and let us know if you get 3G on your HD2?
[HD2 General] jubeh:
Thank you very much. I myself had been wondering why I couldn't get an HTC Desire (honestly, pretty much the only phone I'd change my HD2 for unless a GSM version of the Supersonic becomes available) and have it work in the US at the 2100 frequency.

When I asked before, people would tell me that a phone would have to support both bands (1700/2100) to actually run on T-Mobile because one did HSDPA and the other did HSUPA, but that didn't make sense to me since all you need is a single band frequency to handle both D and U data streams.

Your explanation makes a lot more sense. It's a sad thing, though.
[HD2 General] moonchaser:
I remember reading somewhere that a chip manufacturer (motorola?) was working on a all frequency chip. I also read that the inherent problem with that would be the antenna.

It would be awesome to have an all band phone that world travelers could utilize. I love the HD2, I had upgraded from a long time use of a Treo 750. That phone was pretty close (quad GSM, triple umts). However when Tmo rolled out it's 3G on 1700 I was still stuck on edge with the 750.

Finally bit the bullet for an HD2, really like this phone. The 750 seems antique now heheh
