[EVO 4G General] khov07:
From a network admin...

Lots of IT departments didn't support Android before 2.2 because 2.1 and older did not support PIN security. Essentially, earlier Android flavors did not have native ability to enforce Exchange adminstrative policies.

Security is what made a BES and any blackberry device so appealing, even if it's significantly more expensive (a BES server + a license for each device that connects to it).

2.2 natively supports PIN security, so IT departments are easing up now.

However, I ran into the OP's original problem a while back (sync errors, never-ending sync attempts that drain the battery lightning-fast) and found an easy solution: after removing the account on your device, reboot, and then go into Settings - Applications - 'All' tab. Scroll through the long list and select any app that has any relation to your Exchange synchronization, like 'Calendar', 'Calendar Storage', 'Contacts Storage', and so on. In each one, delete the local cache. Reboot your phone when you are done, ensure your Exchange mailbox isn't synched with any other WinMo device, and re-sync.

Presto, you should be set.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
That seems to fix it permanently?? If so, that could help a lot of people who haven't purchased touchdown
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
As permanent as it gets on these devices anyway. So far I've seen this exact issue twice in my enterprise, and I have yet to see it again on either one.

Give it a shot, let us know how it goes.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
So set up Exchange like normal, wait for it to start having issues, reboot, then remove the account and associated caches?
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Well I set it up and it ran for about two hours before giving me this:

"Exchange ActivitySync Error

-------------------------------

User authorization failed. Please

correct your Exchange Server

credentials."

B.S. because it's been working this whole time. Right before that error started popping up, I saw the continuous sync icon in my task bar. I guess next step is to remove the account and clear cache from all Exchange-related locations.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Your first step was to remove the account and clear the cache. Be sure your mailbox isn't synced with a WinMo device too (your Exchange admin can address that).
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Ah I think I can log into my webmail to remove devices... or perhaps from Outlook.

Prior to your post today, I didn't have Exchange configured on my device through the stock client--only through TouchDown. My first step would have been to install Exchange. Honestly the only reason I am doing this is so that someone who stumbles upon this problem in the future might learn something. I don't think I could live without TouchDown... too many features that no stock client supports.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Unless you are an admin, I doubt that your OWA will allow you to remove devices. Also, unless your company has some additional functionality enabled, I doubt your desktop Outlook client can do that either. 2003 and 2007 do not allow you to do this, I am unfamiliar if 2010 does (though I doubt it).

As I said before, work with your IT dept on this, if at all possible.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Pretty sure you can :) I guess my company has some special permissions.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Oh, I had to give up on my IT department months ago. The phone is not 'officially' supported, and I was told that no AMD employee could assist in getting my phone to work properly. There were not very nice about it. I got a phone call from a near-VP-level senior manager--because I submitted a work request asking for help from the Exchange team.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Oh, I never said it couldn't be done, I just said you probably couldn't - most environments typically reserve the privileges in your screenshot to admins.

That being said...

The main problem as I see it is that you haven't followed my directions. You need to remove all the devices listed in the screenshot you posted!

Once you've removed them, wipe the account from your Evo, wipe out all the local data still stored there (see my previous posts), reboot, and then add the account again.

Short of some very unusual, out-of-your-hands issue (on the server side), that is the solution to your problem.

Final suggestion: don't bother going through 'official' means for support if 'company policy' dictates that the EVO is unsupported. Buy your IT guy a drink or bring him some pizza for lunch, and he'll probably give you all the unofficial support you will need, so long as you're nice - never underestimate the power and efficacy of social engineering ;)

Seems like the USB port for my X10 is not working. Last night I found myself having to wiggle the usb cord a bit to get the phone to detect but now it just won't detect at all. I've tried restarting, taking the battery out, using different cords, connecting to a power outlet and to my computer to no avail. Anyway to fix it? My immediate guess is to just take the phone apart and resolder the USB port but I'm not sure. Any input or tips would be appreciated.

A friend of mine showed me a theme for the HD2 2 days ago of some guy who also, according to him helped design the Iphone buttons and layouts.

I've been searching for over a hour, but I cant seem to find it.

The buttons had sort of vintage, funny, cartoony look, and so did the rest of the interface..

Where can I find this? I have no clue and I've been mindlessly looking through thoasands of threads

Can anybody help me on How to enable Bootsounds on 2.1 ROM's like MCR 4.0 or ChoclateEclair
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
On some ROM's you'll find a folder in /system/media called bootanimation :).

In that folder is a bootanimation.xml which holds the settings for the bootanimation, including the option to enable a bootsound.

This does not work for every ROM.

Edit: in the new official taiwanese-release of 2.1 the bootanimation is in /system/customise/resource
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D.M.X:
Ya I know that But the audio and the .zip thing is there, but I'm not able to locate the .xml file for boot animation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
That's because there isn't any. Put an mp3 file named android_audio.mp3 in customize/resource and it should play on boot automatically.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Deleted member 2500726:
Also a lot of ROMs if not all "takes" it from data/local/bootanimation.zip;)

^ that would be data/local instead depending on what ROM your using:P The bootsound you can take from another ROM with a bootsound... Just extract it:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D.M.X:
Ya! the .mp3 and .zip file are there, But it just played on the first Boot when I flashed the ROM, after that now it doesn't play.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tonyleeloveyou:

I would reccomend Cronos Droid 1.7.1 and then set the clock speed to standard 528Mhz (518Mhz) set the low freq at 246Mhz I think it is and the mess a little around in SetCPU like setting the sleep freq at max 480MHz and underclocking it when the battery runs low;) Last of all Cronos Droid is the best ROM performance wise, stable wise (if you can say that) and in my expiriences also battery wise and It's just the best if you aren't trying to find a ROM you can theme etc.:D

I also run mine at 19MHz in sleep mode, but be aware not all heros are compatible with this, and yours might not wake up properly at 19MHz. Try it and see
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
Hey all,

i recently hopped over to sprint and now use and EVO instead of my old G1.

After i transitioned, i lent my G1 to a friend on TMobile.

He turned the phone on, logged into his Google account and is now receiving an active 3G signal.

But here is the thing...

He has NO data plan active with TMobile!

More info:

Before i gave him the phone, i took the SIM card out.

I did a full wipe and bought it back to factory settings.

The phone is rooted and it is currently running the final 1.6 Cyanogen ROM (NOT the newer 2.1 build)

I checked my TMo account, which is still technically active since i plan on fully canceling and porting my number to the new EVO next week. I see that i have no activity on the phone for calls or data.

He checked his TMo account and verified with me that he currently has no active data plan.

So what's the deal with that? It seems like some kind of bug that could be working out VERY much in his favor. We are hesitant to call TMo and ask them about this, for fear of him losing his free 3G service.

Any idea how or why this happened? We're both jazzed about it, but are curious if there is something that we might be missing that could entail him winding up paying for it in the long run.

Thanks for your help, all.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
really? even if he never registered any 3G data plan of any kind?

Once again, this isn't SMS data or the old school 'download' data.

This is straight up 3G Connectivity.

Also keep in mind that on his online account info, it is showing no information regarding 3G data usage.

I remember when i first got the phone, it wouldn't even let me register my google account on the G1 until i called and fully activated 3G service.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:

cool. thanks for the info.

we dug a little deeper and found that he HAS been monitored as using 0.15mb in the last 3 days. so it looks like TMo does have it on record.

It's very interesting that they have made it default to per-megabyte even if you don't choose to use it.

He'll just have to call and ask them to shut off data altogether.

The entire time it was suspended, I had 3G. Full internet use. Very awesome, because I use my Google voice number for about everything. I just was unable to make or receive voice calls or send and receive sms. They can't charge you for something you haven't signed up for.

Hello all,

I have not rooted my phone as of yet but plan on doing it. I used to have a G1 and moved to the slide. The biggest problem I have is I like to keep my phone in my pocket at work, but have to have the phone off. If I barely tap the phone's power button it turns on and I end up either pulling the battery or putting my phone in my lunch bag (praying no one takes it).

Anyone know if it is possible to change the power button to need a long press to turn on instead of a short press? Alternatively moving the power button to the genius button would work too.

Any ideas?
