Seems like it's the first thing everyone has done. Getting my replacement handset tomorrow. Wondering whether it's worth doing it. We've seen people have issues upgraded debranded versions - is this still an issue? Are the networks usually slow to propagate manufacturer updates to their users?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
It will lock the handset but it's not too much to get it unlocked.

Essentially you make a goldcard which is super simple and takes about 10-15 minutes on a Windows machine and then flash with the generic ROM that can be found on the forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed.dark:
only if you flash the radio. otherwise it wont lock it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
flash the radio? :confused:

I was looking to do the same to save me some battery power. Sounds daft yes. I have an app called Startup Manager and I am sure that a few other people have too. You know that without root access you can't do it and I know that applications use like 60%+ of the battery at all times. I was wondering whether it would be worth rooting a brand new (2 days old) HTC Desire on Orange on contract so I can stop most of the applications on startup?

hi i wanted to know if any one can help me? i am making my own rom i have edited the the frame work res apk and what ever, put my own png in it and took some useless apks from system/apps, i packed everything and signed it and resigned all the apks in the rom. i flashed to my phone and the pngs i made are there and every thing i put and took off were there. but when i tried going on the market it says the market (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly, in other words it is force closing can any one help me. i could become a future dev, who knows but not any where near the ones we got. i uploaded the rom it is flashable. but thats if you are generous to help me out, always do a nadroid back up. the icons on it are ugly but im still working on it. thanks and also it has no boot screen so if it stays black after flash dont worry i tried to put the android bat but doesnt work. so it should boot up. thanks and its based off of fresh 2.0d

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Its messing up cause of a few reasons.

There is no reason to resign all the apps individually unless the uid's r conflicting which it is most likely not.

Also be careful with the apps u take out cause some of the apps work cause of other apps. There is a thread out that explains what apps r safe to remove

Also how r u signing. R u enabling a2sd, making overclocked, etc. Make sure update script is correct. Also the boot animation can be changed just have to add in the update script to delete the boot animation. Zip

If u need other help pm me or find me on gtalk

Hi guys!

I know there is a way to create a Chrome extension which, when clicked, launches an app on the phone that vibrates the phone and plays a sound file at the loudest volume, so I can find it. Like Chrome to phone but with a different purpose.

This would be a great app for those times when you need to go but just can't find your phone even though you know it is somewhere in the home. With just the press of a button you could hear (or feel, if it's very close to you) where it is! No need to use another phone to call yours or run around the apartment getting all tired and angry!

Personally I would have used it like eight times since I came up with the idea, but I don't know Android programming or HTML (for the extension) so I can't create it myself.
[Android Apps and Games] arw01:
where's my droid

and a couple of other apps already do this. They take a sms message and crank up the volume.
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
That's great for some people (with unlimited SMS), but unfortunately I haven't got unlimited SMS (nor do I always have access to a second phone:(. If I did though I would probably call my phone instead as this request is for finding the phone when you know it is somewhere near but don't have the patience to run around and search for it)

The app I want doesn't use SMS messages for launching the app but the Cloud-to-device service introduced with Android 2.2 and at the moment only available to a small but growing number of devices.

I use the Chrome to phone app & ext (code dot google dot com/p/chrometophone) on my Nexus and although it doesn't work every time when it does work it feels like magic!

I thought it would feel as much if not even more like magic if you could use this new service to find your phone with ease. I don't need it to have all the (for some) great features like showing where the phone is on a Google map or wiping important data if it's lost, I've got other apps for that.

I want this app to be as simple as it possibly can be, again like Chrome to phone:

Setting up: Download, Register phone, Be logged into Google account, done!

Use: Be logged into Google account, click extension button, wait a sec, phone rings, done!

Now does anyone here know how to create this app or where to request it to increase the chances of it getting past the idea stage and into something usable? It would surely make my day!
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Before my streak went back and whilst i am waiting for another one could someone tell me where the E-COMPASS is i spent half an hour looking round the device and could not find it :)
[Streak 5 General] rovex:
There isnt one on the device, download a compass app. Just search the market for compass.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yep that makes sense. just wondering tho when you go to the settings then to programs list there is a e-compass in there i am new to the android so why is that in there but no app to be found.sorry for my ignorance Just trying to get up to speed with android:)
[Streak 5 General] rovex:
Thats probably the service and driver. The app list is a bit dumb by default, it shows EVERYTHING installed, you have to filter for downloaded apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
Um, does anyone have an idea when will HTC release source code of the kernel used in the WWE 2.1 release for Hero (2.6.29-063c4d424) ? On their developer site, I can only see source for the older Hero kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 42turkeys:
It takes them varying amounts of time, but my guess would be around a month.

Just keep bugging them on Twitter! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
Too bad I don't twit. :) But I'll try good old e-mail.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartse:
Hi!

I just upgraded to stock 2.1 and I have a problem with the contacts app. I linked every contact to their facebook account and one of my friends (ass) typed in a wrong phone-number. Now I can't phone him without adjusting the phonenumber, cause android uses the facebook phonenumber instead of the number I saved in my phone. Is there a way to tell android to don't use the facebook phonenumbers without 'un-linking' my contacts?

Please help! I'm turning crazy over here!!!!!

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnTonly:
I've just updated to 2.1 for a while, and luckily I haven't encountered your weird problem. Each time I linked a contact with a facebook account, I had a contact that has both mobile phone number (except if both of them are the same) However, I have another weird problem: After linking a contact with a facebook account, I choosed a name for the contact (most of the time I went with the phone name) The problem is sometimes, after syncing, the name changed randomly to another name (for example the facebook name) and I was unable to search for that person if I didn't remember his facebook name. No matter how I changed the name back again and again, it kept changing on its will.

Any suggestion?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartse:
Lol, I met with this problem aswell, but figured out how to come across it. Go into contacts, click on the persons name you want to change, click on his name again in the top of the screen (between his photo and the "linked" icon). Now you'll see a selectbox with his facebook name, phone name, google name etc. Select the one you want to show in your contacts list and then confirm (bottom left of your screen --> I have a dutch phone so don't know the english name for the button).

I'm still having my phonenumber problem, anyone a suggestion (the guy with the wrong phonenumber on facebook isn't that good with computers, so he doesn't know how to change his phonenumber (ass))

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnTonly:
Thank you for your kind answer, but it doesn't solve my problem. Actually I have already done that a million times, but each time the phone synced, some of my contacts randomly changed their names without my permission. Then I changed back, and a while later, the names changed again... It was really annoying :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider96:
I don't know since I don't have facebook (Shock!) but I bet you there is a feture on facebook to change your details for a friend...

Do it that way...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnTonly:
Well, I'm afraid there isn't any way to do that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvermillion:
Since I upgraded to DamageControl 2.09, I have been experiencing almost 100% awake time, and my "Sync" icon is constantly being displayed.

I didn't have this issue with 2.08, so I'm wondering what I can do to clear it up. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Is it unplugged from the wall/charger/computer? Have you stopped playing with it long enough to let it go to sleep? :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvermillion:
Yep. I leave it sitting on the table most of the time... Seems like it's constantly trying to sync something, but I can't figure out what/why.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
go into settings/applications/running processes. I bet obex service is running thanks to calendar and come.htc.bgp. If that's the case, killing that process is the only fix I've found. It's a bug in the Sprint 2.1 ROM upon which DC is based.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Odd, I'm running the same ROM and not getting this bug. Try wiping and reflashing. Don't install apps from backups. Install apps from scratch and only pick the ones you need first. I ran the ROM without any of the apps I like first and I've NEVER had this issue. Then I started adding apps directly from the market without using Titanium or any of the other backups. Worth a shot... for science, right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvermillion:
Yeah, I decided to re-flash it last night, and it seems to be working fine now. uptime is about 15 hours, with awake at around 1.5 hours now. Much, much better.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Wow! Subcypher is right! I haven't used titanium backup since loading infinitex's deodexed sprint ROM and I have no problems with 100% awake time.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
i also see in this forum there is a FRF85. what is the difference between FRF85 and FRF85B
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
There is no FRF85, only FRF85B

Might as well update, Google did it for a reason... Speaking of reasons, the reason that the update.zip for FRF85B is so big is that it covers about 6 builds, there is a tiny FRF83 => FRF85B update.zip kicking about as well.

[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Just wanted to let anybody know that bought one the Google I/O Evos and if it got messed up with the update. Sprint will not replace it if anything goes wrong with it. My wife has been on the phone with Sprint and HTC since 9 this morning and it's now 1:30 in the afternoon. She's still on the phone with Sprint and still being told it's nothing they can do. She even bought the $7 Total Protection Insurance and Sprint is now saying that because the phone wasn't purchased through Sprint, the insurance is invalid. Which means that she been paying this extra $7 for nothing.

wtf...:mad:
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Well for one Sprint doesnt handle insurance claims to begin with, Asurion does....
[EVO 4G General] Agfadoc:
I bought my phone at Best Buy, and added the Total Protection service to my phone through Sprint once I got home...I am wondering if that would be the same situation?
[EVO 4G General] marctronixx:
it should not. i purchased my EVO and my hero AND my TP2 at best buy. have had to replace the hero once and tp2 4 times and had zero issues with claims (yes i use sprints TEP)

what the op is going thru is different...
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:
If Asurion handles the insurance claims, try filing a claim through them.
[EVO 4G General] Agfadoc:
Whew.. Thanks..
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:
Is your wife talking to just a tier 1 customer rep? Try sending an email to dan@sprint.com. You can also try calling Lauryn L. (757.223.3593). She's from Sprint corporate if I'm not mistaken and she's helped me a lot.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Yeah...that's what we were going to try next but then the Sprint rep said that the Evo wouldn't be covered by Asurion either because the phone wasn't bought from "Sprint" directly.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Thanks I will try and contact them ;)
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:
How about HTC what did they say about the warranty? If Sprint can't replace Google I/O Evos then the manufacturer warranty (HTC) should still apply.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Are you guys going into a Sprint Repair Center? I've purchased phones off of Ebay and repair centers have taken care of it when I've had the TEP on it. If you're calling in they're not going to help you. A repair center will. The phone people probably think you're tying to just get a swap.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Contacted HTc, they said that because it's a software update issue, the fault falls on the Service Provider. They said that because the phone is so new they don't even have the parts in to even attempt to fix it, the don't do any replacements whatsoever...just repairs. So they had us call Sprint back and tell them all that. And again Sprint said well there's nothing we can do
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Yeah we just called in so far. So what you're saying is that we take the phone in, they could probably fix it or offer a replacement because we have the TEP on it...granted they'll probably offer the replacement if they have any in stock.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Man some ofyou havent figured out by now that these reps are clueless? I've bought and replaced several sprint phones through asurion that I did NOT buy from sprint with no problems. Go to asurions site and file a claim. Simple.
[EVO 4G General] nunyabiziz:
I call BS on Sprint's part!!! First does your EVO have Sprint's logo on the front, Second is you EVO's ESN or IMEI is Sprint's database? If you answered yes then it's covered if you have the Total Protection!!! Sprint has always gone on with this BS about why they dont allow non-sprint phones on their network. Don't quote me but "We only allow Sprint phones on our network because we know that they has been tested and can SUPPORT them." You or your wife can call back or go to a Corp Sprint Store after the 4th of July, reason being is that is after 30 days of the Official release of the EVO. The key is don't tell them its a google i/o phone but you have an issue and you would like for it to be resolved because you have the Total Protection! After the 30 days, its no longer a retailer's issue but a provider's issue(Sprint can be both is some cases). If need be CRY as loud as you need to, also apply to while being in the Sprint store too:D. Of course be polite and professional first;).
[EVO 4G General] You stole Boo Boo's Name:
just go to a repiar center tell them you got the phone from sprint and they will fix it.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
But the first thing they asked us us, "Where did you get your evo from?" If you say you got it from a Sprint Store then their gonna say "Wedon't havea record of it." then that's when they say you have to take it back to place you got it from, we can't do anything for you.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Sprint has away of verifying if the phone actually came from Sprint. That was the first thing my wife told them was that she got it from Sprint. (thinking that Sprint gave the phones out instead of Google) But then the Rep said we have no record of that phone being purchased through Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
Pure BS, seriously.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
wasnt the phone free ? for attending the google event ?
[EVO 4G General] nunyabiziz:
Have you read my posting? After the 4th, within the first 30days sprint wants the retailer to be responsible for the equipment. Where did you get it? "MY WIFE GOT IT FOR ME." Just state, please look and you will see that I do have the total protection on my account.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Got it will do....thanks. I will try then.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
I've never heard of Sprint doing this... granted, I knew they didn't allow other CDMA devices on their network, but the EVO (even the I/O) is on their network. It's one of their devices. They can't refuse an insurance claim on that basis... it doesn't matter where you bought it, only that it is a Sprint phone.

For example, I couldn't use the insurance through AT&T for my Xperia, because it's an unlocked phone; it's not one they offer. However, they offer the EVO, so your insurance is still valid. I don't suppose you've called their claims department more than once, have you? I'd try different reps.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Go to a repair center. They dont' care that you didn't buy it from Sprint. You are paying for TEP which is not just insurance but also repair service. They will take your phone for 15 minutes to an hour depending on how busy they are. They may be able to unbrick it themselves. If not they order you a replacement and have it for you generally the next business day if they're available. DO NOT file an insurance claim. This is not an insurance issue since there was no physical damage caused by your wife, it is a warranty issue and you do not need to pay a deductible. I've been with Sprint over 11 years. I've gone through this enough times. I know what I'm talking about here. I've done this with quite a few phones. Even had a diamond that was bought of Ebay repaired at eth store.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I've read through the other comments in this thread. You have to make sure Sprint knows you're asking for a repair, not a swap. If your'e asking for a swap then you have to go to where you bought it. You let the repair guy determine if your device is repairable or needs to be replaced.

Read my thread above on this.

Here is the Full brochure on teh Repair portion of your TEP

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=.../services/service_repair/SE9302-2360_ESRP.pdf

Remember TEP includes 2 different services

Equipment Replacement Program ($4) and Equipment Service & Repair Program ($4) You get a $1 discount for getting both services hence why you pay $7

http://shop.sprint.com/en/services/service_repair/phone_protection_services.shtml

"3> “Covered Equipment” means one Designated Wireless Device. 4> “designated Wireless device”

means the Eligible Wireless Product which is activated for wireless telecommunications

service for the enrolled Sprint or Nextel wireless telephone number on Your account with

Sprint Nextel on the date the Operational Failure of the Eligible Wireless Product occurs and

for which air time has been logged by Sprint Nextel as identified by Electronic Serial Number

(ESN) or Mobile Equipment Identification Number (MEID) for CDMA devices and SIM card

and IMEI combination for iDEN devices. 5> “Eligible Wireless Product” means a wireless

product that We have designated as eligible for coverage under the Program. 6> “operational

Failure” means failure of the Designated Wireless Device to operate due to operational,

mechanical, or structural failure from defects in materials or workmanship and normal wear

and tear. 7> “Replacement Equipment” means the wireless device of comparable kind and

quality to the Designated Wireless Device which We provide to You in the event of a covered

Operational Failure of the Designated Wireless Device. 8> “date issued” means the effective

date of coverage which is the date charges for the Program first apply as shown on Your Bill.

9> The “Program” means the Equipment Service and Repair Program described in this

service Contract. 10> “Sprint Phone Repair Center” means a location designated by Us as

authorized to provide repairs or Replacement Equipment."

http://www.phoneclaim.com/sprint

That's the Asurion claims link. You'll see you can do the claim on your phone, but like I said this is a repair issue so don't do a claim cuz you don't need to pay a deductible.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Update: We were just contacted back from A Sprint Rep...the one that was mentioned in one of the prior posts. Nevertheless, she informed us that since the phone came from the Google I/O convention, it was a special number we had to contact. I think it's thesame number we had to call to activate it on our current Sprint line of service but i can't remember. She was very nice and helpful.

We called the number she provided. They took us through some more troubleshooting and still no 4G. She then said that the area we're has a trouble ticket that says it's having intermittent 4G problems at or around my location. Which i found hard to believe because a relative of mine has an Evo and his 4G signal is good. However, the Rep told me to give it 48 hours and if the problem doesn't get fixed, to call back so that they could take measures as to getting us a replacement.
