hi guys, i woke up with a brick on my nightstand. The light was red, which means it was off and charging. It wouldnt turn on, so i took out the battery and put it back in, and it was bricked. I had the SuperD rom, 1.11. so im screwed, right?
[General Topics] Trial&error:
my G1 did this once. i just pulled the battery and powered back on, it booted to a black screen so i pulled the battery, held down the power button for 30 seconds +/- a few, then put the battery back in and it booted up just fine
[General Topics] marduk79:
i don't understand how it would brick on it's own? have you tried entering into bootloader? If you can, you can probably re flash the rom, or flash a new one. Good luck.
[General Topics] JAguirre1231:
Your rom probably got corrupted, you're only bricked if you cannot enter recovery/bootloader (mainly the bootloader). If you can do either of these then it is reversible.

Try and reflash a different ROM ?
[Omnia II General] joeri840:
Hi all,

i'm planning to do a hard reset of my omnia II but since there is mobile shell and some other programs on it that are not original, i wanna know how to make sure i have a perfect backup of the phone before the reset.

can i make something like an image??

if notwhat will be backupped, and how do i run the backup??

thanks
[Omnia II General] basildon:
Try SPB Backup or SPB Clone
[Omnia II General] joeri840:
did try spb backup, but he allways stops at some percentage...

now i copy all the files on my phone and did hard reset, but it is a hell of a job to put everything back...

will search for spb clone now and try that one

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cxdist:
This its kind off weird and I am beginning to think it is a hardware issue, but when playing certain videos I get this obvious and distracting crackling in the background like from electrical interference our a busted speaker.

Only thing is that this happens on some flash videos so far. I have never noticed this when listening to music or calls over speaker and it works fine with other flash videos.

Check it out if you can. The video I was watching was the my touch slide review on engadget. I would link it but I can't.

I have encountered this, but only with Viddler videos on Engadget.com
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
It happens on some flash videos, like engadget as you mentioned, it's probably just an audio codec that's not 100% supported on the Nexus One.
[HD2 General] BatVette:
How can I verify for certain whether my HD2 falls into the LEO category, or the TMobile category...I bought it off of Ebay and they had the following product description...

"BRANDNEW HTC HD2 HD 2 LEO T8585 UNLOCKED TOUCH 16GB MEM"

BUT, if I log into my T-Mobile account and check ROM versions, I am showing 2.10.531.1 which is a valid TMobile ROM (although outdated)....or, does it really matter?

This phone came in a Transformers package, TMobile badging on the phone and boxes, complete with memory card, and preloaded programs, in a factory sealed box.

Just want to make sure which version I REALLY ended up with here before I start tweaking ROM's, as the phone is already having problems with cprog.exe crashes and locking up. URGH!!

Thanks!
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
The US version has a green send button and red end button. The EU version has all white/gray buttons. Another distinguishing feature is that the EU version has a bump on the back of the phone for the headphone jack. The US version is smooth there. Hope that helps.

Hard reset or try a custom ROM for your freezing issues. :(
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Hardware Info

Check the Flash Size. If its 1024 MB, its a T-Mobile USA model.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
If it has the T-mobile logo on the front of the phone, that's your answer right there ;) A lot of sellers on e-bay etc have the mistaken idea that the US version of the phone is also a T8585. I'd also double-check and make sure it truly came "unlocked"...at least if that matters to you.
[HD2 General] BatVette:
Yes...I have green and red send buttons on the front, with the T-Mobile logo across the top...just wanted to be double sure before I started loading US Rom's onto a Leo platform. I am currently in the Bahamas, running a Bahamas BTC chip in it, so it is unlocked...and I also have the unlock code if the new ROM happens to lock it again.

I haven't loaded the ROM yet, but I did download it off of T-Mobiles site, and it asked me for the IMEI #, which worked...so I'm thinking I am at least going down the right path here. So dang annoying. Just got the phone all configured with my MS Exchange server, a couple apps loaded, and starting tomorrow morning I'll be back to square one....argh...but hey, at least next time around, I should be able to navigate around faster and get the thing set up more quickly.

Thanks for the clarifications...let the games begin.

:-)
[HD2 General] BatVette:
Flash is 1024...was on the Leo site and they were refering to the 1024 and 528 as ROM...but all I was showing was RAM or FLASH...so that clarifies THAT little gem.

Cheers!
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
ha the other thing that points it out is that it had Transformers 2. I don't believe the other HD2 got that. That was a t-mobile exclusive. :P

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good encryption program for me? I'd just like to be able to take a single folder on my SD card and encrypt it.

TIA
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
I like TrueCrypt. It is open source and user friendly.
[HD2 General] mobi:
I love it too and use it on my PC but I do not think it is available for WM is it?
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
I don't think it is available for WM either, but you could probably encrypt a folder on your sdcard from your desktop (with your phone set to mass storage mode). I don't know if it would work, I've never tried.
[HD2 General] mobi:
I dont want to encrypt the entire thing. AFAIK, if you do and you reflash your phone, your whole sd card is toast.
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
IIRC you can encrypt a single folder on a flash drive using TrueCrypt, so I would think you could encrypt a single folder on your sdcard. Perhaps you could create and encrypt a folder on your desktop and move it to your sdcard.

As far as flashing a ROM wiping out your sdcard, I hope that isn't the case.:eek::eek:
[HD2 General] mobi:
Thanks for that but it wont help when I'm traveling and need access to the info.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PROTO407:
So i brought my MT3G to costa rica, i got tmobile to unlock it for me, and i got a prepaid sim card from here. The company is called Kolbi ICE. The card says that its 3G capable but for some reason at the ICE store they say my phone isnt 3G compatible here. Im not sure if this is true or if they just dont know what the hell they are talking about. If anyone knows what APN settings i should have, or if there is another way to get 3G acess here in CR please let me know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kemekill Products:
I have a vpn setting that works for an iPhone for ICE in Costa Rica, (yeah I had this issue also sucks) though this was an iPhone so no idea if it'll work for you.

Make sure 3g is turned on in your setting > wireless. and also make sure that data roaming is turned on.

Just type in

VPN:icecelular (yes exactly how it's spelt.)

Username: (leaveblank)

Password:(leaveblank)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pirulino23:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dskum:
The MyTouch 3G if I'm right works only on Dual band UMTS Bands I and IV (1700 & 2100 MHz) - Tmobile 3G band.

May be the iPhone works because its ATT band HSDPA/UMTS dual-band (850/1900 MHZ).

I'm not sure about Costa rica, but may be its similar to ATT frequency bands. So yes in this case it wont 3G. Will only work on Edge speeds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] PROTO407:
i cant get it to work, i only just recently got it on edge...which is better than nothing i guess. Ill keep trying though and post back
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] silvertag:
dskum is correct you cannot use 3G as your phone is not compatible. TMobile UMTS is not in the right frequency for CR 3G as they use UMTS 850.

TMobile Specs.

Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)

From Kolbi Page :

To make the pass to 3 g tdma I can buy any cell that its bands have 850, because what interests me at the moment is the line and ancillary services?

The terminal must be UMTS frequency of 850 MHz or HSDPA in the same frequency

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Joe Bleau:
It's not their fault if ICE supports only phones that are sold in Costa Rica. It's a small country & needs all the taxes it can get. They are employees, they don't make the company's policies.

This said, my unlocked HTC Tilt 2 AT&T branded is not supported but I just set data & network connections to auto and inserted the ICE SIM card & voilà: everything worked perfectly.

Do the AT&T employees "have their heads up their asses" if you ask them questions about unlocking an iPhone bought at their store? :confused:

Your language sounds quite colonialist IMO.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Hi ryohazuki!

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem.

On HTC Dream there are several GPIO's involved with scanning the keypad, hardware keys and trackball sensors.

These GPIO's of the SoC (MSM7201A) inside are connected to 4-line ESD circuits to protect the chip, prevent voltage peaks and stuff.

Please have a look at this post or read the whole thread.

I found out that these circuits might be harmed by some electrical effects. As a result some of the GPIO's are shorted and affect the behaviour of your device in a strange way.

It's not sure what exactely causes this short circuit... maybe some peak voltage while using the wall charger or some strange inductive effect.

Maybe these protection circuits are little bit weak concerning electrical specs.

Whatever, as you might see at the date of my posts in that thread, i fighted several weeks to solve this issue and i'm pretty sure it's the same effect that causes your device to go mad.

Regards,

scholbert
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevroc:

Hey,

I'm looking for default Nexus One (I belive it's called Nexus One Mod on the Market) and default Froyo Live Wallpapers for Hero (VillainROM 6.2). The Nexus One Mod from the Market sadly is not only not supported by creator no more but also does not work. So, I was wondering if anyone had or knew of whereabouts of these two Live Wallpapers?

Nexus One default (colorful moving horizontal and vertical lines on a dark barely visible grid)

Froyo default (diagonal colorful thin lines moving around)

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dazzer1975:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kad3t:
It does in VillainROM at least and they run like a charm but the Nexus one from the Market doesn't... I mean I understand that not all have to because they were not meant to anyway, but I also hope that it doesn't cause it's not optimised for lower resolution of Hero compared to Nexus1 and when you download it of the Market it does say that it's not supported no more...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] krandhawa:
nexus wallpaper

Im not a pro but this is an apk i installed with astro file manger and it works with villain. The original nexus live wallpaper .apk is attached. Or you can try nexus revamped on the market, but it has a little different look to it. Im new but I am trying my best to help out. Just let me know if i did anything wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kad3t:

...although I wouldn't mind having the one with galxy spinning either... ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] krandhawa:
all the wallpapers i got

The one you are looking for has a higher resolution, but u can give it that dark background in the settings when ur selecting a live wallpaper. Sadly I do not have the froyo one, but I pretty much have all the other ones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kad3t:
Thanks for those! A lot actually!

I will try them out as soon as I finish testing/benchmarking various ROMs and find something new, fast and with LW support (cause new VR 10 doesn't).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] krandhawa:
no probs

no probs man anytime, I got an idea too, maybe we should have a live wallpaper section in here as a sticky, but i dunno how many ppl will commit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kad3t:
Good idea.

But is there really that many live wallpapers available for free?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
yeah, just search "live wallpaper" in market
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kad3t:
I did. There's some but they're mainly pretty dull (apart from the boat one)...

Cheers all,

Just wanted to let you all "Blackstoners" that Max' New Sense have been released! And it's awesome.

You can find this UI only in cooked ROMs, so if you're not familiar with flashing customized ROMs, maybe it's time to learn how here.

Watch the video preview of this great new UI here, and visit this thread for introduction, features, tutorials, Q & A, and more...

Thank you Max!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qwertylesh:
Excellent news, I posted in the Max Manilla thread and was going to ask if it was able to be cooked into some of the Frankenstein Sense 2.5 WM6.1 cooked roms, but edited my post as I came to the understanding that it wasn't able to be used for touch HD, Im very happy to read that its now available for touch HD! its an amazing sense 2.5 mod.

so, any chance it could work cooked into a WM6.1 Sense 2.5 rom for the Touch HD? :P

Is anyone else had this problem?

[Desire General] pyu:
I have exactly the same problem. I think you saw your phone reboot because it was updating its firmware. I am on Vodafone and I just updated my firmware and that's when I started having the exact same problem with friendstream.

A vodafone admin on their forums suggested that I should factory reset my phone and restore from backup on the SD card. I did it but it didn't restore my contacts, themes or apps properly. I have a feeling that the contact information isn't compatible with the new firmware. This is probably what is causing the problems.

I suggest you back up all your phone numbers with HTC sync. ie don't rely on the SD card backup (that was my mistake:() And try doing a factory reset. Your SMSs, bookmarks and Wireless access points should back up fine. Email, apps contacts won't be fine.

[General Topics] devwithzachary:
Quite simply i have decided its about time i get myself a new 'high' end android phone. I have owned the HTC Magic (32b) for some time now and while i do like it very much i feel its a bit week when it comes to multi tasking and new versions of android i feel arnt completely stable on it as they just are not built for this old phone.

So anyway its time for me to pick a new phone, but im just not sure which to go for. I like the look of either the Nexus one, Motorola Milestone or the HTC desire all for there own reasons.

Both the Nexus One and HTC desire to me seem to be pretty much the same apart from that the Nexus One has already got froyo and that the HTC desire has sense UI and optical track ball thingy.

While the Motorola Milestone i like very much for its qwerty keyboard and i believe it has the best GPU (am i right?). The Motorola is also the cheaper of the phones which is always a plus.

So my question to all of you is what are your thoughts on the different phones and which would you pick? are there any other features i should take into thought? or other phones?
[General Topics] MyTomato:
I like the Nexus One and the Desire.

I forget it the Desire has a snapdragon processor as well? If yes, I'd go for that one. The body is really really sexy and the optical trackball is a step ahead of the trackball on the n1.

However, I really like the N1. IMO it's one of the most underrated phones out there. Battery life is 12 to 14 hours moderate / light use. One thing to be aware of, the speaker is tiny and the phone doesn't ring very loud compared to the Blackberry I had before.
[General Topics] dorora:
As far as I remember the HTC Desire lacks the active noise cancellation and the triband HSDPA/WCDMA. I don't know what exactly you are planing to use your new phone, but I (considering the huge amount of time I spend internet browsing), I'd take the Nexus One.

I'd also take into consideration the fact that the Nexus comes with a bit more powerful battery than the HTC Desire. I own a HTC Magic too. Every time I keep my wi-fi connection on for more than 2-3 hours, the battery runs out and the phone shuts down, which can is sometimes very annoying.
