[HD2 General] Mr Footlong:
Hi guys. It was a brand neww, sealed box HD2, but from T-Mobile. No SIM with it at all or I would have been trying that too of course ;).

Regarding how I unlocked it. I paid an ebay seller to give me an unlock code. When I fist put on 02 SIM in the phone it wafffled on about being network locked basically and had a field to enter the unlock code. Entered the code given to me via the Ebay unlocker and never got that message again on the screen. Is that wrong somehow?

Manual network, auto network, selecting carrier etc all of them make no difference. I am off out now but have found a local store with PAYG T-Mobile sims in stock so will grab 1 later today and see what happens then.

Will update/bore you all later! ;)

Cheers,

Nick :)
[HD2 General] Mr Footlong:
Right, case closed. I got the T-Mobile sim and stuck it in. Showed up with T-Mobile on the scren and a good strength signal. Tried to make a call, dropped back to the home screen almost straight away. I had full data access though. Spoke to T-Mobile who informed me that my brand new, sealed box HD2 was blacklisted and I could do nothing with it!

Vodafone and O2 just flat out don't let you register the handset on their network if is it blacklisted it would seem.

Contacted the seller and he has arranged a refund, but the refund is showing as 'pending' so I am not going to return the phone until I see it physically in my account.

I have to be honest and say that this is actually a good thing as despite HTC doing all they can to make the Win 6.5 on there look less dog-like, the overall UI is still pretty awful. Now,this phone with Android 2.1 on it might be a dfferent matter! Back on my Bold 9000 for now......

Cheers,

Nick.
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
I am sorry to hear about that, looks like to you got hit by some sort of scam, probably resealed a second hand or refurbished unit into an original box and sold it as new.

regarding the UI of the htc devices, I am not really sure why you think this, htc hd2 uses htc sense which is the same ui as on the android htc phones. The only windows mobile thing you should really see is the start menu which has been praised as being a very good replacement for the old start menu. even all the settings windows are run through the htc sense ui so i am really not sure what you are complaining about :S

If you dislike the top bar/bottom soft buttons, there have been a lot of modifications to these in more recent hd2 roms, maybe you should to take a look at the roms section to see some pics.

Hi guys!

Would like to download the "WHERE" for Android app. Checked on my pc browser at the android market if its there, saw it under the TRAVEL category.

So, opened up the Android Market app on my HTC Desire & searched WHERE, but nothing..went to the TRAVEL category, stil nothing...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbheightsboy:
Well i guess I got this all backwards

I didnt know any better when I got the phone in the store, and I did the update...

then decided to root it.... did the process....

it worked.... but then I had the insufficient permissions on the SD card issue...

after reading a bunch of yea's and nay's on OTA update

I finally made the decision to just due the OTA update cuz I that SD card issue really bugged me...

I did the OTA update, the phone did this funny thing where its showing a green progress bar and then in the middle of it, a red question mark pops up as if it were saying " what the hell is this??" lol

it rebooted... and phone came back online, and now my SD card isnt having the same issue anymore...

UPDATE: Its back.... so now what do I do? Is there any way I can include all my info and settings and apps in a custom recovery cuz if i have to do this again im gonna freak. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burksdb:
your having the same problem as me... the update failed.. which is why were waiting on a way to manually apply the update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twista117:
OTA worked perfectly. And I get root access
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabbawalkee:
I still haven't gotten the OTA...no matter how many times I manually "check now" in HTC Software Updates, it does not show up. I don't know why this is happening, it's very odd. I'm waiting for someone to cook the update into a custom, or rather stock, ROM. It's driving me insane at the moment, not to mention a bunch of apps are missing from the market (a whole other issue in it's own right). If anyone has an update.zip I can flash or a way to fix this, please please please let me know. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinscuzzy:
I wasn't getting the OTA notification either until I enabled WiFi, then restarted the phone. Worked perfectly after that. Didn't even have to go to system updates.

Someone sent me a picture with their iphone and when I went to properties, I got an option "show on map" which records the GPS position on googlemaps of where the photos was taken. This is the first time I have seen this! Can someone expalain how your own photos can show the GPS position of where photo was taken using goolge maps. When I go to my own photos , I do not find the option "show on map" under properties.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Cenobite_:
It's easy with an HD2. In the camera select GPS-photo instead of Photo. Wait for the fix and 'click'. Now you have to option to open google maps when watching the photo in your album.
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
Numerous times i have tried to connect to my exchange server, after the phone reboots you might as well be prepared to do a hard reset (power button + volume down, click clear data) because the phone will go into an endless reboot.

Anybody else having this problem? Shouldn't they have tested something like this...you would assume that they would.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
exchange works fine for me here so far...my only issue is it doesnt seem to update fast enough if i delete an email from outlook it will still be on my phone but i know thats not the phone but more of the exchange stuff HTC did.
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
hm i dont understand it...man this is gonna drive me nuts. Guess it's back up to the store!

If i dont connect to the exchange server it doesnt do it...when i connect to exchange server with phone after next reboot it goes into a constant reboot.

Do you know what version of exchange server you're connecting to?
[EVO 4G General] jaypeezee:
Trip,

I posted a reply to your reply in my thread earlier... Initially I thought this endless reboot was related to my sd card however it is not.

Its an exchange issue ! I can connect just fine and everything updates/deletes/syncs however when I reboot it go in the continous endless reboot.

If you wipe the data and restart it will not reboot. you add exchange and reboot viola REBOOT CENTRAL !

[EVO 4G General] shep211:

[EVO 4G General] Soupskin:
It's the security policy on your Exchange server that requires your device to have a password that the 2.1 build of Android for Sprint doesn't work well with.

You will need to either:

1. Turn the policy off on your Exchange server or create a new policy omitting this setting for EVO users.

2. Try another ActiveSync client that is not integrated with the OS like TouchDown.

3. Wait for 2.2
[EVO 4G General] blackout203:

I add into cmdline of startup.txt value "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000" and after this android work like a charm! Very fast! So is it safe to use overclock when work at android? Can i brick my phone using this ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MrMoustache:
I suppose it's pretty much safe.

The chips in our touch pro's are made for low power consumption. That means small heat dissipation as well.

That usually means they've got some headroom for overclocking.

As with a normal PC, overclocking is mostly harmless, unless components overheat.

The worst thing that might happen, is a frozen device that needs a softreset.

It might warm up your device though. And will also drain your battery somewhat more.

I would advice returning to stock clocks when your device is warm a lot, or when you experience random crashes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] liquidchrome:

I'm using the overclockwidget app from android market, it's showing and can set CPU speed.

I needed to do a Detect frequencies before I could use 691200

a Nice feature is also that you can set lower CPU speed during sleep/standby limiting the standby battery usage.

/C
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] heavymetalmage:
Have you tried activating "turbo" mode? I did and it does seem a bit speedier. I also downloaded the overclockwidget but I don't quite understand how to set the values.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] MrMoustache:
I've tried android on higher clocks as well.

As first I was sceptic, but using the overclock widget I found out the clockspeed was indeed up to 691 Mhz.

After using the phone for a while it was running pretty hot.

So referring to my first post in this thread:

I don't think it's a good idea to run this overclock 24/7 if you plan to use your phone for more than a year or so.

It also interfered with the sleep mode, so battery life whent from already bad (android isn't very battery friendly yet) to a lot worse.

Just my findings.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
are you sure it was the overclock and not the gps?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] CeasarRAPH100:
A slight warning ;-)

Have removed the overclocking again it made the phone very unstable for me, and occationally corrupted the rootfs.img during shutdown.

Had to copy a fresh rootfs to be able to boot it up again.

I lowered to 600000 but still kind of unstable, I'm not sure if it was only the overclocking causing it.

It could also have been the new kernel(htc-msm-linux @ 20100614_211737) it seems to freeze the phone when using 3G data randomly without any overclocking at all.

But it's really fun it's even possible to do.

/C
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jianC:
Even at 700000, my phone runs fine without crashing or any bugs but drains battery quick and heats up fast.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] CeasarRAPH100:
Found a nice trade off between battery drain,stability & speed at 614400 (4.296 MFLOPS)

At idle or screen off I force 256000 (1.829 MFLOPS) throu "overclock widget".

Just wondering how you do a total format on the Desire. Wiping everything, from past websites and password saved and searches, to emails saved, to text messages, to saved words for the dictionary.

Like a TOTAL wipe.

Anyone got any ideas? Or am I correct in thinking that turning the phone on and holding the volume down button and selecting the clear storage, then doign a secure erase seperately on the memory stick will be sufficient?

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
I'm very curious as to what other people are now using as their default ROM on the Sprint Hero...I've got a feeling that ROM development is slowing down, and will probably move to the EVO (I'm way off an upgrade)

I've been through (almost) every ROM I think, and I've ended up with the following setup which is nice and speedy.

Kernel = 2.6.29-G0DmOdE-OC

Build = fresh toast v2 beta 2

I tried enabling jit, but was getting worse fps results on neocore than with jit disabled.

I'm running Launcher Pro, and everything feels really good.

Same as you. However, I know flipz got the evo so I only expect maybe one more update to fresh rom. Only problem I have is that if I don't reboot the phone for a couple of days the phone app will crash when someone calls. I just reboot my phone every other day so it isn't a problem but I will probably be switching to a different rom as soon as I figure out who is sticking around and still developing... or maybe I will figure out how to cook my own rom since I will have more free time on my hands.
