[HD2 General] Cass67:
Cant say the same for me, i asked O2 for an unlock code on 18th March and one did not arrive inside the 30 days turnaround time they mention. I mailed them on the 23rd April about the lack of code and they told me my IMEI number provided was wrong and id need to provide another, i did and one day layer i had a mail with the proper code.

Check the IMEI provided with them, im sure you already have but for some reason it took me 2 times for them to recognise it even when i know i sent the same IMEI the first time.

EDIT :- forgot to add. yeah its not law for them to provide an unlock code. Had the same issue as you with my iphone, never did recieve one, good job the hackers sorted me out :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea i suspect the issue is with the imei number, , , specifically the fact that it is two digits too long, , , i'm guessing the donkey @ the desk isn't removing the last two digits before running the lookup.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Indeed, and i quoted that to them on the second mail i sent, a day later it was resolved ..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
huh, just called them to confirm the imei they are trying to use doesn't have the extra 2 digits, to be told their system is only seeing 15 digits anyway, and the tech basically told me i must be doing something wrong, and that IMEI numbers are only 15 digits, so i can't possibly have an extra two digits at the end.

I'm thinking microwave and replacement is looking like the best option.
[HD2 General] Cass67:
I think id take a pic of the hd2 showing the 17 digit number and mail it to them and ask for another donkey to be assigned to the case as he obviously does not have a clue. Confirm to him how hard it is to do something wrong while typing *#06# to get the IMEI ...
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I didn't think you could get good things done via, O2, I was on contract with them for 10 years and they wouldn't give me the hd2 for free so i left, there CS are useless.
[HD2 General] xaccers:
Been with them for about 5 years, get all my phones free, even got a £15 credited when they blocked me after my bank screwed up my direct debit.

Even get 15 month contracts instead of 18.

Pretty sure my HD was already unlocked, I was able to use it on Orange.

Haven't checked my HD2 though.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
finally, after 5months and two weeks my unlock code finally arrived,,, great 28 day service there, o2, much respect!
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
holy cow at least you got it lol,
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hehe, yea, eventually. Good job i dont actually need to unlock it, it was just a matter of principle. (well, that and i can now use the gf's sim card in an emergency, heh)
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
ace so all the moaning to them you dont even need it even better lol, my hd2 from Virgin was already unlocked even though they swear blind its locked lol, MUPPETS
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heh, yea o2 told me they were shipping unlocked phones. I had to explain to them how they started shipping wwe phones in febuary, but before that they were rom locked, and that both types were sim locked.. . . she didnt understand, so we agreed to disagree.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sdigital:
I was just wondering, I have a pre-paid t-mobile account with a data plan. Tried popping my sim card into a USB Huawei and entered APN settings using the generic Hawei software: internet2.voicestream.com, no username/pass.

It connects but then I get a website saying that you need to subscribe to a T-Mobile WebConnect plan.

Someone mentioned to me that I should get the card unlocked, so I bought an unlock code off eBay and it does the same thing.

Do you have any advice for how to get it to work with my existing plan so I don't have to change plans?

Please - no comments re tethering a phone or T-mobile sucks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rupert88:
I am mostly happy with the galaxy s its a great phone, speedy and most of all really nice screen.

There are some aspects of the samsung customised android im not entirely sure about. I would like to try out differents UIs like the default one and maybe htc sense.

My thoughts with touchwiz is cant we disable a service from starting up at boot in android, or edit the default runlevel so the touchwiz ui does not load. I presume somewhere on the rom resides the default android ui. I presume its in some init script or something somewhere, im not hugely bothered about rooting my phone and from what ive read it sounds quite dodgy and im not really happy with the hit and miss procedure that is available at the moment.

Ive tried using top but cant find thetouchwiz process presumably its running on top of the android X server equivalent, i have very little knowledge of android but am pretty comfortable with linux if someone can provide some pointers...

I have built my own custom gentoo environment before so was wondering if someone can point me to a good android rom cooking post. My development environment is windows if that matters...

Is there a way to set the 3G on/off Button into the Quickstart Menu at the Startpage ?

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Einstellung ob 3G an oder aus sein soll auch auf einen Quickstartbutton zu legen, damit man nicht immer duch das ganze Menü muss?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I believe that either the latest CHT or Max Sense has a home tab button for 3G but not sure how to map it to stock.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
Hi guys,

For suspending power on my Topaz I use a little programm called MySuspend.

However, it started to make problems on my analog clock in my Co0kie Home Tab home screen. This clock seams to stop going when the device is suspended.

BTW, the nominal flip-clock goes as it should.

I marked also that when suspending (turning off screen) with the power button, it does not influence that analog clock, so....

could anybody help on how to assing the direct functionality ????

(I use Advanced Config to assign. The question is actually what is the actual .exe file, that is nominaly assigned to powef button).

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I am not certain of the actual 'power off' function and what .exe initiates it, but if you install TD2 Tools (or whatever the latest version is called) you can set your softkey in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila

Set HomeLSKText"="Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" to initiate Boot manager Screen, as shown below.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
Thanks Bruce for the hint,

but I just would like to click the left soft key and it should be done (suspended).

The choice of couple of options is a bit to many clicks to go.

Thanks anyway :)

Anybody knows the solution ???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
One thing you can try...

I'm not certain if TD2 Tools replaces anything in regards to .exe's but if you can browse through your windows folder and look for some type of power???.exe (not sure what it would be called exactly) but it should start with 'power' and see if you can find the .exe that activates a power down.

That's how I found the .exe in my previous post, but mine may have been replaced....

Sorry, just to be clear, you want to power off device or just suspend?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
Bruce,

I want just suspend the device, exactly as the power button does it :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I may be wrong but.....

I don't think it can be done as the power button suspends via the baclight settings in the registry.

There is no .exe involved.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
Well,

I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button.

So if that is an exe-file for this action, then ......... ??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
:rolleyes: I assumed you had checked for the .exe already!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
As I wrote before "I found in Windows folder

poweroff.exe

"

So hopefuly there might be some other option for suspending as the button, but where ....... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Perhaps something is getting lost in translation here but....

You stated "I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button."

Does that mean when you click the poweroff.exe, your phone goes to suspend as it does when you hit the power button? Did you confirm this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Surfer:
Sorry, I've been away for a while.

When I click power.exe, it asks "Do you really want to turn off your device?",

ie. it's as if I would press & hold the phisical power button.

So, if that function of the power button exists as an exe-file, I assume that a suspend-function also would, but I can not find anything like "suspend.exe".

Maybe the file has another name ??

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksekhar:
Is there any app that switches from 3g to 2g when you turn screen off (just like you switch from Wifi to 3g). 3G is the biggest battery drainer in my case and I am sure turning off 3g when not in use would really help.

I have searched in the thread but couldnt find one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] austinchimp:
I have to admit my eye's been caught by this little beauty. The screen is the big attraction for me, particularly the size and the proper multitouch.

For anybody who's had experience with both the Galaxy S and the Nexus One with Froyo, would it be a good decision to trade in my Nexus and get the Galaxy?

I own the nexus outright with no contract, and I'm due an upgrade so could get the Galaxy for minimal expenditure, although stuck then on a 2 year contract.

I'm slightly disappointed about the lack of a camera flash on the Galaxy, although it's not something I ever use much.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
I'm in exactly the same boat as you.

If they say it'll get froyo soon, or if I see some comprehensive dev going on, I'll probably get it, but I'm still very worried about Gingerbread. Samsung track record on updates is abysmal, right now I'd be shocked if we got it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
There is a lot of talk over the lack of a flash, although as a keen photographer I really don't understand why. Having a flash right next to the lens is the worst place for it anyway.

Besides, it all detracts from the fact that the lens and sensor on the Galaxy S are remarkably good for a mobile phone class of camera, the colour and exposure are very good, and produce very usable results. The lens itself goes down to F2.8 so works well in low light situations, and the screen is bright enough that you can see what you're photographing in bright sunlight, these are far more useful to me than a little LED thats going to put horrible highlights on peoples faces and in their eyes :o

This is a pic I posted in another thread, taken on the Galaxy S, and is completely untouched apart from a 50% reduction. The colour and exposure are exactly as they were captured. The white balance is spot on, the saturation is good although a little heavy in the greens. Its in focus and reasonably sharp.

Although if you plan to be photographing drunk mates in the pub late at night, then yeah you probably need a flash and dont care so much about image quality, because such pics are never very flattering :eek:

Right now, if you have 2.2, you might miss some of the extra features, but the Sammy is gonna get 2.2 soon too, and then there'll be no comparison. I dont have a Nexus One, but I've used the Galaxy S and an HTC Desire side by side, and there is no comparison, am soo glad I waited :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keener31:
thanks for your impressions and image.

from the shots ive seen the camera quality does indeed appear to be above most mobile phone cameras. for me, the pictures are quite nice considering it is a phone camera and readily available at all times.

the flash would have been a nice addition, but the same as trav, i wouldnt use it all that often, and agree that phone flashes are weak to begin with and dont add all that much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
I'm pretty sure we'll get 2.2 on this phone... Samsung said they'll do it, but their word counts for very little obviously after the Behold 2. But market pressure should make them upgrade it. The question really is about Gingerbread. I know the Nexus One is going to get that, but who here can say they expect Samsung to rewrite Touchwiz for an update designed for UI upgrades? That's the real problem here. I can't be sure if this phone has as much future support as the Nexus One.

The Nexus has a flash camera, which is important, but it looks like in every other hardware regard, the Galaxy S wins out. It's all about software now.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] austinchimp:
I don't know whether I'm being naive, but I'd assumed that by the time gingerbread comes out, the galaxy will be well and truely rooted and it'll be a matter of the necessary community existing to put new versions of android on it.

I do have a slight suspicion that the Nexus One is the better bet in the longer term, but the Galaxy looks so tasty right now!

However, given the shelf life of phones these days, the question will probably be irrelevant in 6 months time when we'll be looking at the latest 2ghz dual-core multi-camera behemoths.

What I'm really wondering is - if the Galaxy S is a significant enough upgrade over the Nexus to make it worthwhile - to be a noticable improvement day to day.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanolite:
Very good question austinchimp!

If you are hesitating about buying this phone, I would suggest you to wait because if it does not have the features you've always wanted on a phone, sooner or later you'll continue to search for a different phones. That is an expensive strategy. I've waited pretty long for a phone as the SGS, and I don't regret buying it. I don't care about the hype of Iphone 4 or HTC Evo 4G, I love my Sammy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
Hmm interesting, looks like there is no touchwiz 3.0. Although all other samsung apps are there. Is it going to be end for custom UIs?

It's not froyo. It's Eclair running without that much of the touchwiz interface. The notification bar still has the touchwiz though.

This is a senseless rom. Works great.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tsailor1:
Just installed this rom. It seems to work pretty smooth but when I went into accounts to add gmail it doesnt list it as an option. A big part of the phone experience is having this integration but it looks like it has been taken out. If I am missing something please let me know.

Thanks for the effort!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:

You can also add your gmail account to the native Mail App but, that takes away from the senseless feel though.

Nice job ozzeh, feels very fast. Very clean.

Btw setcpu doesn't work, does it? (Only questioned your screenshot)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
My main question would be, do you see better battery life with the Sense-less UI? I don't really have a problem with Sense in general, other than it seems to run a lot of cr*p in the background, my assumption is this adds to the terrible battery life of the Incredible (compared to the Moto Droid, even when overclocked). Just curious on your experiences with battery life with this rom, might make it worth it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
I've never used it but, from what I hear it doesn't work yet.

I just installed it this morning around 6am so far the battery life is alot better but, I'm use to having over fifty apps installed. Give it a day or two, for some real results.

Silly Questions

But, I am really curious how the facebook / contact integration is without the htc sense facebook integration? Is it the same I like that all my facebook contacts link to my google contacts, but does this option go away with sense?

Also sharing photos from the gallery with HTC facebook, seems like it would go away too, and while I haven't used the regular facebook for some time, I remember it not being as easy and as convenient as the other (i.e. couldn't add the photo and create a new album at the same time, etc)

anyone care to share their experience with these 2 things?

For some reason Gmail and Google Talk have the 'unknown' android icon, and they both force close when trying to launch... what did I do wrong? Market works fine. I tried applying apps.zip downloaded (twice) from my laptop and once from inside the phone browser to no avail.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] halcyon_22:
for me the facebook integration is still essentially the same. and i say that because you can still link all ur facebook contacts to google. also sharing is still the same, as the facebook app for android is the same for sense as well. Now, the caveat to this is I came from my sprint Hero phone with no sense and that is how it worked. Also, I have not personally used this ROM yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Considering I am having the same problem, do tell, what error on our end would it be? I mean, yeah, the phone was wiped. The MD5s match. So whats the issue?

Its easy to say user error, its quite another to actually help someone out and explain the problem. If you don't know, then don't say it.

I've compiled my own roms for the Moto Droid, and have never had issues flashing them. I think I am qualified enough to flash a copy and paste job.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] barry1685:
Is this what you have to do to apply the rom?

1 Download the build.

2 Rename it to "update.zip".

3 Copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.

4 Turn your phone off.

5 Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.

6 Press ALT+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)

7 Press ALT+S to apply the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
One other thing, if this is truly a sense free ROM, I wonder if JIT will play nice with it. I know JIT hated Sense, perhaps someone with the ROM installed wants to give it a try? I'll try it out later if I have time to install the rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
hahaha I like your thinking
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oxidant11:
ok i have posted this earlier but i gave up and now i am trying again this is my process, i backup my phone through nandroid, then i wipe my cache then i wipe my phone, then i pick the rom file from my sd card, it updates fine, i reboot my phone, and it just keeps going right back into clockwork recovery, i tried loading a hydra kernal with it also, but does the same thing, tried wiping data than wiping cache, then loading the rom, still boots into recovery, need some input thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] taypotts:
So i've been using this rom all day and I really like it but i just noticed that i can't install gameboid at all? It is acting like its installed but its not in the app drawer or in the applications list. Any reason why?
