[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
if any of you choose to take advantage of this just so you can sell the phone you need to do a little bit of research.

T-mobile now requires data on almost all smart phones. So what they do is if you get a discount on the phone you must have a data plan for that specific line for the 2 years it is activated. You can not remove this even if you do not have the phone anymore. Yes you can sell the phone for 300+ and then cancel that line for 200 ETF but this is what causes phone companies to add fee's, AT&T & Verizon have already started doing this. If you cancel a smart phone for verizon the ETF is 350 and AT&T is 325.(Here is my source)

& second Even more Plus would not be able to take advantage of this as they are not locked into a two year contract at all leading to them paying full price for any of the phones. I have had a lot of experience with T-mobile and would hate for them to add on to ETF just because people trying to make a quick buck.

BTW if you cancel the line you have to wait a 90-day minimum to use that line. so if you have 4 out of 5 and you use the 5th one you will not be able to add on to it for 3 months.

I think you meant to do 24 X 160 which is 3,840 and 1,920 per phone :) but good job in explaining it. People just want the quick buck and never plan for later. Why our economy is the way it is.
[HD2 General] scrizz:
what's the point of getting a smartphone w/o a data plan?

seriously now.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
They want to get the phone just to sell it. They never plan on using the phone so why do they want to pay for data that never is going to get used.
[HD2 General] suryo88:
all phones are free after rebate.

[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
MIR on that note. haha suckers will have to wait to make that quick buck.
[HD2 General] p_synthesis:
After a couple of days, go to a T-Mobile store and do an upgrade at full price. Upgrade to the cheapest dumb phone, something worth about $50. They will now have to put that on your line and since it cannot handle a data, they will cancel the data plan. This is fairly common knowledge on howard's and also has been suggested by T-mo customer reps.
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
I don't like how you the title says "giving away" and "free" phones because they aren't giving them away; you have to sign up for some type of plan or extension, which isn't free.
[HD2 General] scrizz:
do you really think it's free?

of course there are strings attached it's a business.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] prince_hatred:
My brother sent me his old HTC kaiser on June 14, 2010:p. The previous operating system of my HTC kaiser was WINDOWS 6.1. The battery condition was superb. But when I shifted my Operating System into ANDROID Myn`s Warm Donut the other day, my battery turned bad:(. I charged my battery and the information in the SPARE PARTS options says it is 100% fully charged. But I noticed when im browsing using WIFI. The battery indicator has turned red, meaning to me that I need to connect the charger. But I was using my phone 5 minutes ago while it was still fully charged. And when I connect the charger, In a couple of minutes, the battery information says it`s already 100% full!!! gosh!!!!!:eek:

Please.... Is there anyone who can help me regarding this manner? Thanks...

HTC KAISER battery problem on Myn`a Warm Donut

I think the problem is in the OS android myn`s warm donut. Because when I used WinMob 6.1, the battery is working well. Anyways, thanks for the advice ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
swap back to 6.1 and see what happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zuber5:
I have the same problem as prince_hatred with warm donut - switched back to wm 6.1 and battery life doubles. Trying Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair RLS 6.1, but so far the battery performance is similar to warm donut. Will try a new battery, but it seems too much of a coincidence :)

Update: Running eclair seems to be OK. Suspect my battery draining problem was due to leaving the GPS on!

Hi all,

I just wanted to check - all of those using Cyanogen's 5.0.7/5.0.8 mod for your ROM base.....where are you getting this source code from? I know that a user name Elemag ported it over, and I have his git tree bookmarked, but is it an up-to-date source? (In other words, is it the 5.0.7 port?)

Here is the github URL in case you are interested:

To me, this looks like the 5.0.7 port, which therefore leads me to my next question. Where can I find the 5.0.8?

Thanks in advance!

Hi chiefs guys!

Please cook something like this:

What do you think if we could enjoy a wm6.1rom combined with manila2012 and radio 5005.1600.05.

currently I'm using FFBOY'S WM6.1 21057 With Radio Version 5005.1600.05 and manilla 2012 CAB version.

It works like a charm, with an average of 65mb free running manilla you can use IGO Garmin and other GPS software with no promlem at all.

wm 6.5 stock + sense 2012 stock radio would be good. sense 2012 was designed for wm 6.5 not 6.1 or 6.5.5, thats why there are so many problems with ram.
[TG01 General] maxxpop:
You are right.... wm6.5.5 needs to much ram memory to run and... combined with sense ui 2012 will use all the memory tg01 has, it will only have 30mb free, with this amount of ram left you cannot run anny application.

This is why I'm asking for wm6.1 or wm6.5 stock+sense 2012-60mb free ram average.

Currently I'm running wm 6.1 + sense 2012 and It works pretty good.

Please ignore my bad english :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
adb isn't installed on a Mac out of the box; You'll need to go download the Android SDK. Untar it somewhere (I put it in ~/), then open a term, do:

Massive Brain Freeze.. What do you mean by "(I put it in ~/)"?

I downloaded the Android SDK already. I understand what terminal is so when I download the Android SDK where do I place it?

Am I pointing terminal to the directory? Android SDK is currently in a folder on my desktop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
~ in most flavors of Unix/Linux is short for your home directory. In MacOS, ~ is /Users/<username>. *nix pro-tip:

cents-macbook-pro:~ $ echo ~
/Users/cent

So in my case, ~ is short for /Users/cent.

If it's on your desktop, open a terminal and type:

cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools

-OR-

cd /Users/cent/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools

And then you can proceed to issue your adb commands. Just remember to prefix it with "./", which tells MacOS to look in the current directory for the adb command.

cents-macbook-pro:~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb devices

1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. On your phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development, and make sure "USB debugging" is checked.

2. Make sure your USB cable is connected to your phone and computer.

3. Open a terminal

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentroniX:
Debugging mode needs to stay on if you want to use adb. You can turn it off once you root, but it won't hurt to leave it on.

The push command should tell you the number of bytes transfered. You need to make sure that the file you are pushing is in the current directory you're in (tools), or manually enter the path, like "./adb push ~/Downloads/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard"

But yes, you can mount the card as a disk drive and copy the file there in Finder.

Is it possible to downgrade the radio to older stock version? I booted into recovery mode using recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img and tried to do flash from zip, but it does not appear to go through. The phone verifies the package, re-boots back into recovery mode, displays "formatting cache" message annd then re-boots for the second time. Baseband version does not change in the "about" window, meaning nothing got applied. Am I doing something wrong, or is it simply not possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It is possible. Those sound like the correct steps too. Can you try an older one and be sure it changes, as there was one version which had an issue with the version it displayed under some circumstances.

I just got mine working using some legacy WinMo tricks for the HTC Installer... and I am a n00b at this Droid thingy, so hopefully this is useful and not dangerous or misleading info - use at your own risk!!! Please test and let me know if you have success or if there are better methods for installation. I removed the http preface from the links, FYI...

1. Root the device using the unrevoked.com/m/ method (Steps 1-8 xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701004)

2. Installed MyBackup and created a full backup of Apps and Data to my SD card (should say you are root, and enable the additional backup features)

3. Downloaded the new PC36IMG.zip, renamed it to rom.zip (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835 - under File Needed)

4. Downloaded the RUU Restore Application

(xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835 - Green Text at bottom of Thread)

5. Run the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe downloaded from #4 and contiue with the installer until it asks you to select the ROM - then STOP

6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp and look for the new folders created by the RUU installer

7. Copy the rom.zip from your downloaded PC36IMG.zip (renamed to rom.zip) and overwrite the existing rom.zip file

8. Back to the RUU installer, click the Select ROM, and finish out the installer.

9. I held down the Volume Down button once the phone started rebooting, not sure if it is required or not

10. Wait till it is done installing to release the Volume Down button, tired fingers... ugh, but may be optional

11. Upon reboot, it will take a bit longer than usual, but once it loads, link your account back to Google and download the MyBackup app from your Downloads section, and run the app once installed to restore your Apps, then Data (I use Google for contacts and calendar, so I unchecked those in the restore). Again, you should be informed you are root by MyBackup...

12. Reboot

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
wow, very interesting!

in simple terms you're essentially tricking the RUU into loading a different rom.zip . since PC36IMG.zip (both the userdebug and eng build versions posted by toast for his root methods) seem to be interchangeable with the rom.zip payload of the RUU .exe installers, they are all swappable ....

unfortunately all these .zip files, rom.zip and PC36IMG.zip seems to have the same special HTC encoding which we can't seem to duplicate or we could make our own PC36IMG.zip files.

this seems like a great method and perhaps can get us one step closer! thanks for posting this! the more little tricks the better!
