Hello, some friends of mine are attracted by android and they asked me wich is a "good" phone to buy...

In dont have a simple anwser because of updates. Android system is young, and even if it wasnt i consider updates a critical matter...

I would go for a N1, even if there are more powerful/good looking/wathever devices around, if I had 500+ Euros.

But what if you want something cheaper? I am really satisfied with my hero because of xda... otherwise i would have waited 1 year for something that doesnt completely satisfy me (2.1 sense)

Wich brand would you choose if you wanted a long term support (2/3 years)?

Am I asking too much?

To be honest i would answer my friend get an used hero/magic/dream/wathever supported by xda and donate :D
[General Topics] waebi:
the Nexus One is probably a decent option, seeing that it's Google's "show what Android's got"-product.
[General Topics] kekkle:
The Nexus is currently the 'flagship' Android phone. It will be the first to have updates. Until a Nexus Two or something comes out.
[General Topics] androidlicious:
Well, the Nexus One is the best for support in the future.

But personally, if I were on a budget and looking at your list, I would go with the G1/Dream. I believe that there is a lot of development support for that device due to the voluminous number of owners, albeit the handset is a little dated..
[General Topics] TheRealEvo:
Tell your friend to go with the Mytouch Slide, its a awesome phone and its now rooted. Rooted mine yesterday and its absolutely amazing, i got 750 on the proccessor right now( comes 600) but 750 is probably the lowest overclock, you can get it farther. Its an awesome phone :)
[General Topics] bitbang3r:
Officially, a Nexus One... but as a practical matter, all the rooted HTC phones are likely to have decent guerrilla rom upgrades for at least another 2-3 years. The main life-limiting factors are likely to be ram and speed, with speed being the factor that starts to attenuate its appeal 18 months down the line, and ram being the deathblow a year or so later.

You can always forego eye candy and chrome, but when new apps have bloated to the point of a single app soaking up half the phone's free ram, and java.lang.OutOfMemoryException becomes an hourly occurrence, the phone has reached the end of its usefulness (I forget the tongue-in-cheek name someone gave the law, but it's basically the fractional inverse corollary of Moore's law... every time computer speed and memory doubles, the demands of mainstream software triple to soak it up and make the system slower than ever).

Hi,

Can anybody help me with unlocking the HTC HD - T8282. Am currently on Orange network in the UK. Tried an unlocking technique posted in this forum by Rishi.... but the Unlockcode.txt pops up on the screen and is blank.

Do I miss something???

Please help.

Ven....
[Touch HD General] insaner69:
send a message trough email to the person with the next info.

HTC Touch HD/Blackstone T8282

IMEI : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (15 characters - find them below your battery)

Provider: ...

and send it to sudarshan1990@gmail.com

Once you get the code (in a few hours) you got to type it in 2 on your HTC.
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Similar question (I think). I just set a 4 digit password on my HTC HD T8282 a few days ago and today I just happened to turn it on and get the password screen showing the number pad, but when I touch the numbers, nothing happens (usually I would see a * for each digit I press), but nothing happens when I touch the digits now, however I can press the "Menu" button on the bottom right of the screen and get a selection of Reset Password or Cancel - but the only option that can be selected is cancel.

Any idea how I fix this, I can't use may phone now!
[Droid Eris Android Development] leech2082:
Well I need help. Last week when verizon was having probelms with service my friend thought that it was his phone. He got to messing with **** and now he cant load any roms. Im hoping someone can help. When he boots into recovery mood he no longer has the option to flash zip from sd. Also Nand backup is now missing so he can not backup to a restore point. the only options he has is flash update reboot wipe cache and factory reset. I have heard of people losing root but with that would you even be able to boot by pressing power and the volume up key... he wont leave me alone about fixing his problem so any info someone could shed on the situation I would really appreciate... Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
Just redo Amons recovery. That should fix it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
Follow these steps: (Also found in Sticky section)

III: Flashing a Custom Recovery

Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.

1. Download this file: Recovery.zip

2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.

3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:

* adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

* adb push recovery.img /sdcard

* adb push flash_image /system/bin

* adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

* adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"

Once you do this...power down... then volume up + end = recovery.. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The behavior of the recovery boot that you are describing is an HTC recovery; it is not Amon_RA. Amon_RA didn't change, it got replaced.

That strongly suggests that "your friend" re-flashed an HTC ROM onto the phone, probably using a HBOOT method (using a "PB00IMG.ZIP" file).

droidkevlar assumes here that what got flashed was the HTC Root PB00IMG.ZIP file.

For the sake of "your friend who won't leave you alone", I hope droidkevlar is correct; otherwise your friend has joined the leak club.

Good luck,

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
or you could do it from the PC with a single command. Put the phone into FASTBOOT mode (power on phone holding down both Send+End/Power), and then

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

The md5sum of Amon_RA v1.6.2 for the Eris is e3932991f097993602af3c7a4b61a4f8

You can check to see if fastboot is communicating with the phone by using the command "fastboot devices". (Note that if running fastboot from Linux, fastboot needs to be run as root to access the USB device).

Has anyone managed to fix the vanilla lockscreen on Toast 2.1 ?

I was runnign Frest Toast 2 beta 2 up until a few days ago, and the lock fix worked. I cannot get it to work now.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Not sure if anyone has ever thought of it or if it exists, I haven't found one.

But a hard case with a kick stand built in?

Anyone have the engineering talent to rig one up?

Edit:

Ahhh hell,

Just found one never mind.

http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?skuno=86324

Edit 2:

Looks a little too bulky for me.

I was thinking a case like these:

http://www.accessorygeeks.com/sprint-htc-hero-hard-plastic-case-skulls.html

With the kick stand that flips into the case nice and flush. Like actually part of the case being able to fold out.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
Well if you got the case you could always Macgyver it and duct tape a paper clip to the back of the case thats shaped like and L. :D

*dont laugh I just tried this and it works! personal viewing angle set to "slight bend"
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
I am never against using duct tape, but I was hoping to have a good combination of duct tape and sexy.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Epic, this is full of Win.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
Ever since you brought up this topic I have been searching for such a case. One that essentially resembles the back end of an Evo. The only one that I can find is the body glove one and thats just straight gay! Maybe we could try to petition one of the many Mfg's of these hard shell cases this idea :confused:. Preferably one of the off brand.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] markus_del_marko:
Body glove cases are the best out there, i have one now but without the kickstand. I really don't see a need for one unless you have a huge screen like on the evo.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
Well if you think of it like this. Not just for watching movies or youtube but where are the speakers on this thing? in the back. And for those who use their device as an alarm clock like I do it would help a ton if they werent blasting into my nightstand and Deskclock does work in lanscape as well. Just some food for thought.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
I am considering taking this paper clip idea a step farther. Amazon has cheap hard cases for like 4 bucks shipped. I won't mind destroying one if I mess it up - Ill let you all know how it turns out.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mrinehart93:
K, if you're good with tools, you MAY (depending on how thick the case back is) be able to drill a paperclip-width hole into the case, stick the bent paperclip in there, and then outline where the paperclip lays against the case. Then get a dremel or something, and cut out a section for where the paperclip can lay in. If you do this, the paperclip will be secure in the case, and will be flat against the case when you're not using it :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
Ingenuity! Could even use one that has the rubber coating on it that is colored to match the case too.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
I was thinking of about a million different designs last night :)

I think with a little dremeling and some Zippo welding I might be able to cut out a small section of the case and fashion a kick stand out of the cut out. Then super glue a straight piece of paper clip to the inside of that and notch out little places on either side of the cut out for it to rest in. This way the paper clip acts as a hinge for the plastic cut out.

Then I would need to figure out a way to lock/snap it in place when its not in use. Ordering a crappy case right now. Maybe have some results in a week. Amazon china shippers aren't the fastest people in the world.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
I think that would be a great piece to practice with. Sine they are so cheap you could order a few of them. And should you get it right on the first try then make a few more and put em up for sale on here.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
HAHA I actually have a few bucks left on my gift card...I should have ordered 2. I WILL eff up the first one...I promise. :D
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Irisht:
Well then its a good thing you are doing it to one that is cheap as hell and not one of the extremely overpriced one that sprint sells. Thank god for the annoying kiosk guys at the mall with all the cell accy's that sold me mine for 10.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Maybe I should get into that business...buy em for .89 on Amazon and sell em for 10 bucks. Hell how could you not make profit. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mrinehart93:
The people making the cases in China all die off somehow.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] HeroMeng:
I have that case as a spare case! It's just lying around ever since I got my Otterbox. Tell me your plans for surgery and I'll try it out.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Well My plans as of right now:

1. Get the case (24th i hope, damn china shipping)

2. Cut a shape similar to this:

-----------
/ |
/ |
/ |
/ |
/ |
/__________|

out of the lower/back/center of the case

3. Notch out the back side of my cut out with a thin enough line to set a piece of paper clip in. As high lighted in red, and super glue or epoxy that in place.

-----------
[COLOR="Red"]--------------------[/COLOR]

4. Now on what is left of the back of the case. Notch out a grove where the paper clip will rest in there.

5. Figure out a locking mechanism of some kind to snap it in place..something like in red below.

Oh well - its getting cut open tonight...YAY! I will post pics and a guide. Assuming I don't FUBAR.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] chococrazy:
I would have used a crystal silicone case. It would have been much easier to work with. I would take a paperclip trace it out on the back cut the exact shape put so it's recessed and flush then just jammed the to into the case bent the clip into the recess. Then I just bend into shape when I want to use it

Pictures tell a thousand words so here goes, every-time I move or delete the circled icon in the picture it comes back, is there a way to get rid of it folks :confused:
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I have the same icon but for O2 and as far as i know that is the icon that allows you access to the provider settings request system from the start menu. If i'm right it's created when the sim card is installed by windows so you can easily update the gsm settings and tbh i think it's persistant so you can't get rid of it and if you change sim cards the icon should change too.

I could be wrong on this but if i were you i wouldn't worry about it and just ignore it. It's not doing any harm.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
yes that's right that's what it does I just don't want it there lol :p

i don't think there is anything you can do about it because it was in that exact same place in wm5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 and it's in the same spot in the latest energy 6.5.5 rom.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Hi guys,

I have HD2 and next month going to update my wife's contract.

Would u buy another HD2 or go for Desire?

- can u record all calls in Desire?

- do u have on Desire any decent navigation like Garmin or iGo8

- how long keeps the battery?

Thanks for all answers.

All the best
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Desire is better than the HD2 IMO - I've got both and it's Android all day for me!!

- Google Maps is free and better than iGO

- You can record calls if needed (don't think so out the box, though)

- Battery life is about the same, 1-2 days depending on use
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
- why? have u tried Garmin or iGo on your HD2?

- Im using VITO Audio Notes to record all calls and it works brill, cant find this

program works on Desire, do u know any?

- HD2 battery can keep 12-15h, I am using internet often
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
The HD2 is pretty out of date. There's little chance it'll be upgraded to WM7 so sooner rather than later, you'll find yourself a bit in the lurch when it comes to newer appsand such. The Desire, on the other hand, is definitely getting Froyo (2.2) and will probably get Gingerbread as well, who knows what else. Plus thanks to Android's community, you'll get future updates for a long time, particularly due to its similarities with the Google Nexus One.

So from a purely "future proof" perspective, the desire wins.

When it comes to recording calls, there's an app for that. Battery life is going to be similar to the HD2, so it'll depend on what ROM/Kernel you're using, but generally they're comparable. Navigation I'm not so sure on, but google maps is pretty solid and is being updated all the time. I believe one of the other big SatNav companies has, or is working on, an android version as well.

Basically, I'd say get the desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsanchez88:
There are also other good nav programs out there like copilot or sygic, but as everybody says, google maps navigation es very good and now offers street view (when u arrive at the destination i believe) and yes, there are programs to record calls (same as hd2, doesn't have such a program out of the box either!!)

Desire all the way (this is coming from an ex-touch hd owner, wich isn't as fast as hd2, but i know winmo very well!!!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes I've tried iGO on the HD2 and it's crap compared to Google Maps IMO
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiral.v:
I am a recent convert, I had the HD2 and love flashing it :D.

Desire ftw
