does anyone know why my hd2 wont turn on unless plugged in and all it does is reset at the "stick together" screen? i was recently stuck at the "this concludes your beta" screen.. but after i hard reseted it.. it kept doing this.. please help!
[HD2 General] kafer12:
check your battery
[HD2 General] malex1:
Have a look in the usb socket on your phone. There should be what looks like a piece of plastic(contact strip), sticking up in the middle of the socket. If this is not there, you have broken the usb socket and will need a new one.

If it is there, is it leaning over to one side (no gap between it and metal socket)? If yes, very carfully try to move it away from side.

If contact plate is there, with a wooden toothpick (do not use anything metal or hard plastic), wipe over contacts, as these sockets tends to fill with dust and lint from pocket.
[HD2 General] wangxueqian:
Thanks for your input. I tried all the methods you mentioned but no luck. The phone is not charged. So I guest the USB charging socket was broken ...

So for HD2 owners, be care of your usb charging socket. It might be very fragile.
[HD2 General] Paten:
Make sure the battery pins in the phone aren't bent. If the conracts aren't good you won't be able to recharge. or so I've heard.
[HD2 General] yield_me:
I had the same problem

The only thing that help me was doing a hard reset. I tried to charge it with different chargers, different comp. At one point I was thinking to bring it back to tmobile, but luckily the hard reset did the job. One other thing, I was not able to do the reset by holding down the buttons, I had to do it from settings->security->factory reset and enter 1234. Good luck
[HD2 General] extrema:
I had this very same or similar problem yesterday. I thought I had killed it with a rom update but it turns out I had somehow managed to bend the middle pin on the battery terminals. it would still turn on on but would not charge at all & battery was just draining. When plugged into USB or wall socket it would not show the plug symbol it just showed battery as 100%. once I straightened the middle pin up all was great again. :)
[HD2 General] Nev2star:
how did you streighten the middle pin in the usb port i can hardly see anything down there

Don't think anyone has posted this yet, but we got now wireless tether on Eclair!

I can confirm that this is working (MCR 3.1), and you need of course root to tether :)

Instead of part 1 and 2, just download the fw_bcm4329.bin from this link (credits to seaders). You don't need to do part 5 since the file has already been renamed.

http://www.multiupload.com/XVP8WH5MZU

EDIT: For those who didn't manage to find the latest wifi tether, http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

"

You guys might have noticed that we had exactly the same issue on the htc evo 4g. And

... yeah, we found a workaround for it ( issue 362 ).

It seems that the wifi-firmware is responsible for this weird behavior. This

workaround did the trick:

See: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c59

So what you guys could try now:

1) Download a HTC Evo 4g system-dump (use google search - I bet you will find one)

2) Extract a file named fw_bcm4329_ap.bin (located in /system/etc/firmware)

3) Mount your sdcard

4) Create a directory named "android.tether" (without quotes)

5) Open this directory and copy fw_bcm4329_ap.bin into it.

6) Rename fw_bcm4329_ap.bin to fw_bcm4329.bin

7) Uninstall old versions of "wireless tether"

8) Install the latest 2.0.2-pre release.

If you open "Show log" you should see a log-entry (first one) similar to this

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c59 here

"

Credits to the developers of the app, and seaders for uploading the fw_bcm4329.bin

works for me too, does ad-hoc only support 11mbit or is it working in 802.11b mode for some reason? No biggie with the bandwidth avaliable via 3g but curious all the same.

Great work getting this working, have a fallback if the mifi battery dies or I don't have signal now :)

[Desire Themes and Apps] 554321:
what i don't get is you can enable tethering once you plug in the usb cable and you'll have internet on your computer, why all this ?

i tried it and it worked the first time, now for some reason it stopped working =/

i downloaded an app from the market place called easy tether and it works now, without rooting

but i'm still annoyed why the internet sharing suddenly stopped working after the first successful try, any ideas ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] harry_m:
Did you read the first post?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6725407&postcount=1

of course I read the first post, but the new link was nowhere to be found, neither does it say that you can't find the right version on the marketplace... but thnx anyway for the link
[Desire Themes and Apps] NordicZz:
1. Devices like iPad without usb port or/and the required drivers can make good use of it.

2. Not every one like me for example got administrator-rights (work or school) on their laptop so they can install HTC Sync and/or the required drivers.

3. You can perhaps tether to a specific phone (*host*iPhone*hark*) which doesn't got an good internet connection for some strange reasons (carrier, bad components etc.).

4. etc.

I've added a link that leads directly to the download page now. :)

Im going to root my phone usings toast method...do I do the ota or not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
toast will probably recommend not to use the OTA update and recommend you use his separate update files ....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cteneyck:
No don't update
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
ok...thats in line with what i was reading. as he was saying yes the root works after the ota but we may find that you need the shipping version of the rom...in order to maybe unlock the nand. and if you ota you may lose that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KERKEDAGAIN:
kinda hard to make a definitive answer for that..I'm happy to say that although I ran the OTA, the root method still worked.

I think, though, the point is that not running OTAs is just a good rule o' thumb cuz y'never know what may happen.

p.s. you do realize that if you are, indeed, planning to root..there's no reason to run the OTA cuz root takes you backward, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Definitive = No
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
was not aware that it would take ya backwards...all though that makes sense...after rooting though and doing the ota update we know root sticks so...that would bring you current again. which though when i was reading that the ota update may or may not prevent you from doing the nand unprotect later on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:

Thanks very much for the very informative review. Getting my new X10 tomorrow & can't wait to play.........
[XPERIA X10 General] oaz63:
thank you so much for the great review, ok i have HTC Hero and i wanna change it now

would you recommend the Nexux one or the X10

desire and legend are out of the pic, my friends already bought them ^^

so i want something different.

thanx
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
Actually what SE giving us via X10 is kinda like

"This is what I've got, I know I am outdated I know I am lack of support, take it or leave it"

to me
[XPERIA X10 General] gr00vy0ne:
That's a tough call. It really depends on what you want and where your priorities lie. My coworker just got a Nexus One and it's a wonderful device with a beautiful deep contrast screen. She wanted to always have the most latest OS first and foremost and didn't want too large of a device (although the Evo 4G tempted her). She wasn't as concerned about the camera or video capabilities so it was the best fit for her.

I prefer the camera quality on my phone to the Nexus One and that was an important point for me since I'm often trying to bring less devices with me when I'm out and about. The Xperia X10 fulfills that need for me. Also, the multimedia capabilities are important to me and the X10 works really well. In fact, it plays video files that my friends EVO 4Gs can't play (we're still trying to figure out why). I ripped my Avatar DVD and converted it to H.264 MP4. Looks awesome on my device and this is with the Android 1.6 limitation!

So, I'd make a list of stuff you actually want to (and will) do with the phone and match that up with the device. If it's the same as your friend then so be it. You can always dress it up with a custom case and OS tweaks.
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
The screen is not very scratch resistant.

I removed the pre applied protector an have now got 2 scratches.

I have now installed a protector again.
[XPERIA X10 General] sergiu84:
Thanks for the review! You seem to have pretty much the same experience & impressions as me, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who feel the same. I'm not 100% happy with the lack of updates (and not having root), but at the same time I can't really complain about it either.

At the end of the day, if you want polish and a seamless user experience then you have to go for a heavily-controlled and censored platform (ie: iPhone), whereas the Android ecosystem does things differently (and thank whoever for that).
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
That's why it comes with a pre-applied protector, it should not be removed
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
AMAZING review. Really top notch.
[XPERIA X10 General] StripLV:
You forgot to mention the

-POOR IN-EAR SPEAKER quality

-POOR IN-EAR SPEAKER VOLUME

My X1 is made of steel so it has min. scratches after 2 year hard using and a few "falling downs" to floors. My X10 felt only 1 time down to the floor and the plastic is broken :confused: Why they changed back to plastic???? Also my old SE phones was made from magnesium (GH337/868...)

-I miss a DPAD or something similar. To navigate is horrible, as the SE KB is useless (the Android KB even more) I use the HTC from Jonas. Without this the X10 is even more poor as it is at least because there is

-NO SMART DIALING. Because of that i dont use my X10 anymore ( need my phone for CALLING!) I bought a HTC instead. The smart Dialing is not good as it was on X1 but i can hardly live with that.

-TS and MS are actually useless. To complicated for fast use and TO SLOW! ( Why i can not set a standard view in TS? Why i cant set a default directory in MS for Photos, Videos and Music and browse within them? )

-X10 is even to slow at all. F.e to open a contact from the phonebook needs at least 1-2 sec.:eek:

In fact the only thing i love on X10 is the Hardware and software design. This is the only phone in the last 15 years (all from SE!!) that is disapointing me. I start to hate this phone, because it sucks me! Especially because to make it perfect would not be a problem if the SE engineers would count on 2 and start thinking about of USING a phone, not looking on it while it lays on the table. If they would do a NEW X1 everything would be perfect. I mean take all the things that X1 can do and make this better and add features, not delete them! Of course erverything could be fixed (instead of the steel body and DPAD) with an update but i think SE is to blind (and stupid) actually. Forget TS and MS, update the X10 to 2.2, add Smart Dialing WITH ARROW KEYS, an UI that is useable from the screen (like iphone), not with the hardware buttons (why a back button? Add a "cancel" tab EVERYWHERE would help a lot! At least in the contextmenues!) a KB like HTC WITH ARROW KEYS, a screen lock like S2U2, an easy and fast zooming, a perfect email client with a central email inbox, a perfect SMS client, make the phone fast, delete all the bugs AND THEN its MAYBE ready for dayly using.
[XPERIA X10 General] StripLV:
THE NEXUS ONE!!! Because there is a trackball and NO PUSHABLE KEYS! Google made a good job with the soft keys! EVERY Android phone should have them! because this makes the phone 100% easier to use. I am really thinking to switch from Legend to Wildfire because of that

AND what is also important: the Trackball/mouse is UNDER the 4 keys! this makes the phone handy. Take a N1 and a Desire in your hand and try to use the Trackball/mouse and the keys! You´ll know then what i mean....
[XPERIA X10 General] scottxperia10:
Great review.I just got my x10 2 days back and I am really happy with it:D.I see a lot of people have complaints with it,but knew as much as I did some reading of this forum and the like.I am upgrading from my once beloved htc hero, a good phone with a good set of specs at the time.I spent sooooo long hearing about a 2.1 update on that phone that never arrived.So the talk of a q4 update in 2010 for my new x10 is not too big of a stretch.

Sorry bout the rambling:D

[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Hello,

I need beta testers running Mac OS X to test a new application.

This application is for people who are either uncomfortable or unwilling to use Terminal and ./adb for pushing files to their device.

This first beta version is just to test how it works on different computers. It pushes the file to the sdcard of the phone using ./adb. The only input needed from the user is to select the file.

Later releases will let the user choose which folder on the device to copy to, but the next release will probably just involve pushing .apk to the /system/app folder.

Please let me know the results.

http://derekcwilkinson.com/PushFile.zip

Beta 2:

http://derekcwilkinson.com/Push_File_Beta_2.zip

Change Log:

Added option to choose the location that the file is to be pushed to.

Added Recovery application

Added Reboot application.

Planned Updates:

Pull File - Done

Device Backup - Testing (having issues)

Device Backup w/SD - Testing (having issues)

Install .apk - Done

Uninstall .apk

Restore Backup - Needs Device Backup

Restore Backup w/SD - Needs Device Backup

Flash ROM - Need help, PM me :)
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I'll test it :) Downloading it now.
[Hero CDMA General] foolforfood:
Works fine, I look forward to seeing it progress. I'll probably just use adb when I need to push something, but I'll keep testing whenever you update.
[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I've updated the first post with a new beta. This new beta includes:

Push file to specified location.

Reboot device

Reboot device into recovery.
