There is no easy step by step method that I can find, sorry. A lot of threads and instructions assume that you have been using and flashing htc devices for a while. I'm coming from the moment and it's completely different.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KwestJones:
I agree, it is confusing. I used toasts method and thought my phone was rooted until I tried Titanium Backup and it told me it couldn't get to root.

I figured I'd just wait til the rooting process is more stable. Sorry, I know this doesn't help
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I went to check up on otterbox today, to see the progress on any new cases for the HD2 and sure enough a Defender for the International version is already out for it for $54. I bought a communter made for the international version for my T-Mobile HD2 and it fits perfect, but I know for a fact that the Defender series has a tighter fit and most likely won't be the same. So here I ask, does anyone have any info on an upcoming Defender for the T-Mobile HD2? I figured since the International has one, the U.S. surely will as well. But, Just in case though, here's a link to ask: http://www.otterbox.com/contact-us/

I already knew about that thread, and have posted in it as well.... this is just for a defender case. Not a commuter. That is where I got my inspiration for this thread....
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
What's that commuter case all about? It says in the description that it's full coverage, but the pics tell a different story.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
The commuter case is like a defender but slimmer and offers less protection. The Defender is water resistant to an extent so you could use it in the rain without it getting wet, it's thicker, it's just an all around better case. My sister has one for ehr iPhone and drops it constantly with it still in perfect condition.
[HD2 Accessories] asidrave:
i have the defender case for my 3GS as well...worth every penny.

i was going to purchase the commuter for my HD2...i will hold off for the defender case now.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Yea, i'm going to return mine now and get a Defender when It comes out. Please suggest people!
[HD2 Accessories] BIOYAM:
Done! I was gonna get the Commuter, but the Defender seems to have much better protection and has a belt clip .... Nice!
[HD2 Accessories] addicus:
The website has a picture and available version for the US HD2 right there.

I think you might have seen the international version, not the US.

Hello,

Total newb here. Used Astro to copy some *.mp3 files to the storage card / music directory. When I try to create a playlist, the files are not shown. I have to assume it is because it is lacking some tag information.... The files exist when seen in astro.

If that is truly the case....How can I get the audio podcasts to play in MUSIC if there is no tag info?

Note: many of the podcasts I listen to are not part of a RSS podcatching system, but must be manually downloaded.

Thank you for your time

any body heard of any sort of metal or steel type back for the evo? i really liked the back for the hd2 the solid cool feeling of the metal was awsome and would be a greta feature to add to the evo 4g. make it look and feel more bad ass Lol

I am no electrical engineer but I decided to have some fun doing experiments. I took a sheet of aluminum foil and placed it behind the phone. The signal strength dropped from -73 to -87. So clearly having metal over antennas will block the signal.

I also recall hearing that is why they removed the aluminum back cover from the first iPhone.

This is just a warning in case you ever do find an after market metal cover. It might hurt your signal strength and in turn battery life.
[EVO 4G Accessories] liquidkernel:
The solution would be to do what Apple did for the iPhone 4. Use the outer metal rim as the antenna. Honestly, I think it's a stroke of genius.
[EVO 4G Accessories] notown775:
and i bet they panted it..
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pops_G:
We will see how it plays out. I am quite sure touching an antenna with your hands reduces its signal. So that design might not work out as well as it would seem.

In my testing I found holding the EVO at different points would increase/decrease the signal. It should be the same with the iPhone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fazzy:
iphone 4 metal frame is surrounded the top section is the main area where they have placed the antenna circuit the rest is the design flow. so it will work good enuf, I am not trying to compete with Evo or anything bad about evo just telling you something. evo for sprint is still the best .. the Ball is in sprin't court now its up to them how they continue with it such as by updating to 2.2 and how fast these things will count.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jye75:
There is in fact a warning in the documentation that came with the EVO, which states that placing your fingers on the portion of the phone left of the LED flashes, may interfere with your signal. I don't recall if it's in the Getting Started guide or the main user manual.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pops_G:
Oh I wasn't trying to make this an EVO vs iPhone debate. Just a general observation about antennas. It was also a problem I noticed on the EVO. Your hand/body will reduce the signal if placed in certain locations. I have seen this happen on TVs that are grabbing signal from the air, radios, and cordless phones.

So all I am saying it putting the iPhone's antennas on the outside might not be the stroke of genius people think it is. Not to mention it would be difficult to hold that phone without touching 2 different antennas at once. That might cause cross interference.

Hmm maybe I should start a thread specifically for antenna discussion, this title is a little misleading, and we went off into a tangent.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phinnaeus:
I mean, I'd be happy with a plastic back cover that FIT RIGHT
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
I heard this in another thread, but I am not seeing it. My back cover sits totally flush and looks great. Did I get lucky, or is there something else I'm missing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jye75:
Someone else posted somewhere that they put a piece of paper (folded once?) between the battery and the cover, and that pushed the center out enough to bring the outer edges flush.... could try that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
That fix worked for me. Probably could be solved with a thin piece of foam glued to the inside of the cover too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ffolkes:
i've modded my cover to fit perfectly, and solidly. i'll post a thread later tonight. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] Drewmungus:
So what about the HTC Legend with the aluminum unibody? Do they use the whole body as a antenna?
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
I'm an electrical engineer, and I will confirm this. Perhaps someone could attach the metal back to the antenna somehow, though. That would be interesting.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
Hey,

I have a huge problem, people.

I've had some issues with one of the ROMs that I tested, so decided to restore my Nandroid Backup. I've wiped everything and runned the Nandroid Restore of my previous - working ROM (EzHero 1.2.1) - everything looked as if it worked fine, the operation was completed succesfully. So, given that I've chosen reboot phone option in the Recovery (AmonRa 1.6.2) and it turned on with a regular booting screen and just stuck on it. It's been like 2hrs and I'm constantly stuck on this "loading" screen and cannot turn the mobile off either by holding Power or Power Home or Power Home Back. Nothing. I don't wanna take the battery out as I heard that it can be devastating.

So, to clarify all of that, I have a phone connected via cable (yet no connection through ADB) to PC, so the battery would not discharge and the phone itself is stuck on booting logo/animation, the one just before it goes into the usual desktop screen.

How can I go about it to restore it?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:
Do you have App2SD ?? If yes it may took ages to boot when you do a first boot... But that only works if you had done a Nandroid + Ext...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Its fine to take your battery out,... Reset and give it another try at booting. If it fails again, try booting without SD in. If it fails again, try doing another restore of your nandroid. Fail again,... Full wipe then reflash ROM.

There is only risk of bricking when flashing a new radio and interrupting the process.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
I do have apps2sd but haven't done +Ext.

When I soft-reseted the device it obviously went into boot loop again BUT I have managed to connect it to my PC through ADB now and wonder if I could use it to my advantage?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
The problem is my phone IS stuck at boot loop and even if I soft reset it I don't have enough time to press POWER and HOME to go into Recovery so I cannot check if I could do restore. Would connection through ADB help as I currently after soft reset have it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
I have to clear something up my phone is in the boot loop but not as in that it reboots itself time after time - NO! It just sticks on the booting animation and that's it.

Oh, and running this "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img" through ADB just sits stuck at "< waiting for the device >" though I _can_ list the contents of my Hero through shell.

Also when I press vol up or vol down in the state with startup screen beeing stuck I can hear it same way as if I heard it in the working phone - as in beeping when pressing up and beeping lower when down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
I'm not so clued up on fastboot commands to be honest.

Take your battery out,... Hold HOME and put your battery back in..... KEEPING HOME HELD IN
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
OK! Finally after finding enough courage to do so I pulled the battery out as ddotpatel advised me to - I have to say it was scary 30s, real scary. Anyway, it seemed that his advice was correct and he is in fact a very wise man - THANK YOU! Afterwards I've done all the wipes again as I did initially and instead of trying to recover it from my Nandroid backup I just gave up and reflashed it again. It didn't work, so I reformated and repartitioned the SD card and it's all good now... And I'm a happy puppy! Actually, I'm no puppy at all but I am happy nonetheless.

@ddotpatel Thank you sir! You are a Gentleman and a Scholar and I shall praise your name forever on this and other Android forums alike. ^__^ Just a quick question though: removing a battery is prohibited only when flashing radio and when the phone's on the "phone & a box/arrow" picture, right? So if I ever have an booting/issue error whilst flashing custom ROMs that do nothing to the radio I should be fine poping the battery?

I know I sad it trice already but - ddotpatel, sir, THANK YOU!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:

does the gallery ALWAYS scan the whole SD card? i hate having pictures belonging to apps displayed in the gallery like asphalt game displays ALL images/videos and in Music app adds sounds. this is really annoying and wish it didnt scan all the sd card for music. are there specific folders that should be placed on the sd card or something? ie. sd:\Media\Videos OR sd:\Videos

Yeah it shows everything in folders that do not have a ".nomedia" file.

see http://androinica.com/2009/08/28/ho...iles-from-appearing-in-android-media-players/

Its not its fault though, the MediaScanner service is what it pulls data from (ContentProvider)

A settings option to disable this or look in just a couple of foldlers would be great.

Adding a .nomedia in a folder with mp3s with the intention of not getting the album art in gallery will have the side-effect of the mp3s not showing up in the music player :(

Put your alarms/notifications/ringtones in the following folders:

Those sounds will appear in the appropriate list when you choose to adjust those certain sounds, they also don't show up in the Music app. They do show up in 3rd party music app like DoubleTwist Music Player.

I set them to their correct values then opened the Windows Mobile Control Panel again. Those items I looked at here (Message, Reminders etc.) had once again changed to that of the main ringtone when I checked their settings in the HTC Sounds and Notifications panel.

Has anyone else noticed this? I am using the most recent ROM released (28th?) May 2010.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monobeg:
I've been playing with my new Touch Pro 2 for a couple of days. Very nice device, but like any new technological tool it's taking some time to learn my way around.

There are two silly little things about the software keyboard (Touch Input for Pocket PC v2.1) that are driving me insane:

Firstly, it gives a little vibration feedback with each keypress that, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off.

Secondly, I cannot work out how to make the keyboard drop down and disappear - with my old TytnII pressing the little keyboard icon on the screen would drop away the keyboard, but now it brings up a menu page (and there's no menu option either!).

I'd really appreciate some help on these two things - I'm sure it will turn out to be something painfully obviouse!!!

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monobeg:
Solution to 1 problem!

Just in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, the keyboard can be dropped down again by pressing the keyboard icon on the middle-bottom of the screen BUT it must be pressed on the left side of the icon in Windows 6.5.5. (If you press the right side of the icon you get the menu options - I think this is a result of the old option arrow being hidden under the keyboard icon in 6.5.5 ROMs).

Still no solution to turning off the vibration. I now think it's an error (one of many) in the cooked ROM as the menu item seems to be just missing!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monobeg:
...and solved the other problem

again, just posting this in case anyone reads this thread later in hope of answers!

So, it seems some smart cookie at HTC decided weshould be allowed to turn off the keyboard vibrations (we clearly can't be trusted with such important decisions!) so there is no way to do it from the menus.

Luckily Miri developed a tool to control this on the HD2, and from my initial trial of the disabling cab on the touch pro 2, it seems to work.

As much as many of us love the animation on the HD2, its laggy and battery hog.

Has any one made a cab or can they make one that simple disables the animation part of the home screen, I know its clowdy out side i dont need to spend 20 seconds watching the clowds roll over my screen before the button I pressed actually works.
