I've been searching for a soft one like the stock Nexus One pouch, but haven't been able to find it anywhere. I think I'll settle for the original leather one at some point since I'm starting to see little scratches pop up here and there :(
[HD2 Accessories] wolfmania:
just bought this one .... waiting for the delivery ... it was important to me that it has a belt clip.

HTC Messenger Side Case with Belt Clip at HTCPedia Shop

if you are in europe ... use fommy.co.uk like i did if you are interested ...

spae one

I have two of these spare as I've never used them and don't like them, when the phone rings it takes me a week to get them out of the pouch!

Make me an offer!

I was using KangORama and loving it but decided to give Rodriguezstyle a chance. I had done a nandroid backup and flashed the Rodgriguezstyle ROM. I didn't particularly care for it so I went into recovery and tried to do a nandroid restore. It went through the motions and got to "as is" then froze. For at least 15 minutes. I had to remove the battery and now when I reboot, it stays on the Google colored "X" screen. What do I do to fix this??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodatfever:
I rebooted into recovery and reflashed Rodriguezstlye (only ROM I had on sd card) and the phone is back. I'll move back to Kang-O-Rama now. Why would nandroid backup cause this?
[XPERIA X10 General] k0sun7eash3d:
With root achieved, is it now possible to activate the 720p HD recording quality that Sony is giving in their Q3/Q4 update or does that require the unlocking of the bootloader as well?
[XPERIA X10 General] ssujee:
I am not an expert. but HD video recording is available only with android os 2.1 or 2.2(i am not sure) so until we can install froyo on x10, we cant do HD recording.

The droid Eris Root:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707bccc

is what i followed, when it came time to finish step II and install the driver, vista is a bi*ch and has a maze of options.

SO: click device manager, select the device with the exclamation point, update driver software, browse my computer, LET ME PICK FROM A LIST, have disk.... then select that driver.

once that is done, i tried to complete step III

it couldnt complete the commands for some reason.

I skipped down to step 4 to try that and went through the factory reset process, and then tried to flash from the sd card for the second half of the step and it would not complete.... it went through the boot screen and actually said "blah blah not completed..." any advice on this, or a better write up of step 3?

here is my current software info after completing step I:

Firmware V: 2.1

Baseband V: 2.41.04.02.02

Kernel V: 2.6.29-5cf233c2

Build Number: 2.26.605.2 CL134869

why is this not working for me? I just want to overclock this and have the live wallpapers/ new unlock screen style...

Thanks in advance from a new user that HAS searched.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mattyboy1013:
explain the part where the command prompt didnt work. did you get stuck on the last one?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
vista's wack try on something more reliable,
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Your software info provided above strongly suggests that you installed the Leak-V1 ROM, rather than the Root ROM. (That's one of the reasons that reputable sources of instructions will tell you to check the MD5 signature of stuff after you download it.) This could have happened because you followed someone else's instructions or download link, or because you previously installed Leak-V1 (and neglected to mention that in your post).

You can compute the MD5 signature of the PB00IMG.ZIP file you downloaded and compare to the listings in this XDA thread.

The correct way to check your phone's rootability would be to inspect the version of the bootloader on your phone - if you did the correct thing in "Step I", you will have 1.49.2000; and if you did the wrong thing (either recently or previously), you will have 1.49.0000. (You can check this by powering off the phone, and then powering it up by holding down the Send and End buttons simultaneously until the phone comes on.)

If you have 1.49.0000, the method of rooting you were trying is no longer available to you; welcome to the club of "leakers".

There is another method available to leakers, detailed in this XDA Eris thread. It is even more complicated - and less successful - than the root method you mentioned in your post. Using best available info, it seems that only 1 out of 3 people that try this succeed at it (sometimes right away, sometimes after hours and hours of trying).

Good luck

RockPlayer Beta supports Android 1.6 through 2.2 and can handle a wide array of video formats including AVI, MKV, RMVB, FLV, MP4, 3GP, WMV, MOV, ASF, DiVX, Xvid, H.264, and RV40.

You’ll need an ARM v6 or ARM v7 phone to use RockPlayer and you’ll need support for VFP. The HTC G1, G2, and G3 are not supported.

In case anybody was looking for this app, its amazing. I've been using it for a while but the official Beta was released on the 23rd. The official Beta is suppose to expire in July, in which case we have to wait for an official release.

I am attaching both the original leaked RockPlayer and the RockPlayer Beta files. If Beta locks out on you, feel free to use the older version to hold you off.

(Rock_divx_Player_Beta1 is the "alpha" file)

This thing plays about anything I've tried (INCLUDING .flv !)

This has got to be the funniest sh*t ever...and only Steve Jobs could get away with it!!! Bottom line: iPhones were never losing reception....they never had it!! LOL

[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
jobs = douche bag
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
Not only that, but they are advertising it as a "fix" when all it does is show less bars! It doesn't fix the reception issues at all. Ha ha ha.
[EVO 4G General] Veritas06:
Sooo... They're pretty much admitting they were lying about the signal strength users got on the iPhone.

Yeah, right. Like we're really going to believe that they didn't know about this since the original iPhone was released? B.S.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
apple rushed the Iphone4 out to compete with the evo period
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
lol, what is this.. the forth generation of iphone and they dont know how to code signal bars correctly??

what a joke.

i feel for those that believe this.
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
If you read all the rants and flames on the iPhone 4 user blogs about this, it sounds suspiciously familiar....oh yeah, it sounds just like the disgruntled EVO owners!! LOL
[EVO 4G General] sherman901:
You guys are all crazy...

It's a legitimate issue and a legitimate fix. Get your heads out of your ass.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
they new about the problem and should have fixed it before release !

people arer holding it wrong W T H kinda brush off is that ... WE R APPLE F U we never make mistakes !
[EVO 4G General] sherman901:
It's quite possible that they didn't notice it during testing, or that they had very strong signal where they were testing. You don't work for Apple so you have no idea if they knew about it ahead of time or not. Stop being a conspiracy theorist.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I don't have to work for Apple to know that the main purpose of "testing" anything is about trying to discover issues, which means testing as many variables as possible.

If Apple didn't test in a low signal area then they didn't thoroughly test it!
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
You guys are completely missing the point....the iPhone has always had sh*tty reception, but users didn't know it because the bars were wrong. So Apple is going to fix the bars with a software update and then users will be able to see that that they ALWAYS have bad reception!!

It's like if the odometer in your car registered one mile for every two miles you drove in a car that gets terrible gas mileage. You think you are getting reasonable gas mileage, but sometimes you're pissed that you seem to be filling up too often. Then they fix the odometer and you're pissed all the time!
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
Well, we know of at least one bar where it was tested before it was released! LOL
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Yeah which proves that all the testing was done in dummy iPhone 3 cases so the testers never touched the metal band.
[EVO 4G General] KyleK29:
Not to be a "conspiracy theorist" - but I find it very hard to believe that they didn't do this intentionally to help prop up the lackluster AT&T network. The only reason they're fixing it is because they got caught.

Same thing HTC has done in other situations. Large corporations answer only to the shareholders, not to the consumers.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
seems to me like apple kind of threw AT&T under the bus on this one... lol

but regardless of the software patch to show less bars... there is still a serious hardware flaw with the IPhone 4 (-24 dbm drop in signal when you cover the bottom left corner... wtf?)
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Bottom line... It won't affect their sales. Apple customers are way too deep in their delusion.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Listen... We are not disagreeing that this used a legitimate issue, but to call this a fix is simply ridiculous. The reception is still not there. You need to get your head out off your ass.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Totally agree with you.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I'm sorry, but I don't see "Oh, the signal wasn't getting worse, it's been worse for years" as a legitimate fix.

I don't see "You're holding the phone wrong" as a legitimate fix.

It is, however, a very legitimate issue. The issue is that Apple did half-assed testing (the field units, as we well know, were in 3GS cases...without exposes antennae). They went for aesthetics over substance, again, but this time it really bit them in the ass.

...and this whole "you just saw more bars than you actually got" response is for nothing more than an "existing problem", they don't even publicly acknowledge the "iphone4 works great until you touch it" problem as even being a problem anymore.

There is only so much you can address with software updates. If you don't know any thing about radio frequency propagation, frequency harmonics, frequency wavelength and how all of those interact in the use of a tuned antenna, well...I guess you might think they can deal with this through a software update.

signal attenuation is the least of their actual concerns if they really were silly enough to leave conductive antenna area exposed. Losing signal is one thing, but accidentally tuning your device to a different (unpredictable) frequency is a whole different issue.

[General Accessories] saslv:
Hello,

I have a problem regarding microSD HC 8 Gb memory card.

The card was disconnected when the data was being written on it.

Now it works in read-only mode.

I can read data without errors though I can't write anything.

I suppose that there is a read/write trigger in controller. Driver sets it to write-only mode when begins sending information and reverts it after completion. Is it correct?

I tried making a new partition table using fdisk in Linux, removing partition, creating a new one. Each time I try to write something it returns an i/o error.

Though during another writing attempt the card was disconnected physically (?) again, and started working normally.

The problem repeats itself after some time.

I'd like you to assist me with this issue

I'd be nice that you release a simple utility that will set the trigger to read/write mode, if there is such.

A lot of people over the net experience the same trouble.

I'd be just great if you publish the solution of this problem.
[General Accessories] Tjahjo07:
I Had the Exact same card for 13 month it work flawlessly.

and now it just boke with wrote I/O Error. exacly like your description. it became read only card.

my best guess is. it start to lock it self down after specific ammount of write erase cycle passed. to prevent deteioration of the data writen to it. or perhaps It lock it self down after it detect write error. since i found some garbled file name on the card.

it's a way to safe consumer from further losing data.........

It was just a guess. I tried any possible way known to me to revive it but found no luck...... so I'm off to buy another microsd from another brand and kept my finger crossed :)
[General Accessories] VanKlomp:
Try this, it worked for me.
[General Accessories] Tjahjo07:
thank you so much VanKlomp :D

I will definetly try it. :)

will report back.
[General Accessories] Tjahjo07:
nope not work :'(

have tried with many other partition manager on the market. and found no luck....

I Guess it is locked from inside the chip.
[HD2 General] sausagedog:
right guys ive been off here for a year or so last time i was here the touch por was the in phone to have, since then i have been on a iphone.but iam thinking of geting a hd2. now what i wanna know is are they worth it. with android etc coming out for it. is it a good buy.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You might want to read more. Android will not be truly ready for a long while. Sure it might boot now but with it crashing with in minutes it's still not really usable. Then there will be the issues with it not being able to use all of the hardware. So I would never look at Android being able to be an everyday OS for the HD2, just something to play with on the side.
[HD2 General] webjunky:
if your in the USA and you want Android why not buy a EVO
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
I came from a touch pro to the HD2 and have mates (many) with iphones and also a few with android phones... I reckon it all comes down to;

1. whether the phone does everything you want

2. in a way that pleases you

3. with a good ownership experience

All my apps I take from phone to phone are obviously WM based and I must have outlook sync-ability as the phone's used as much for work as play so I've never been tempted to jump to android or iphone...

But I have to say the HD2, in a long line of WM based phones, is the best I have ever used, is quick and fulfills my needs with aplomb and poise never seen before...

Every time I grab my HD2 to use it I am pleased I have it...

Whether its a good buy is determined by how much you want to spend on it and whether it meets your needs...
[HD2 General] sausagedog:
i had the touch por as a phone and a toy to play with eg android on it, now i can change my iphone for a hd2 it will cost me a extra 30 quid.i have never had any issues with xdas,but iphone is a problematic phone with signal and not getting txt.so far i have had 11 xdas and loved them so think this will be the right one, i just wanted some advice and yet again you guys have said wot i thought. so thank u all.

tmorro night i might have a hd2:D:D:D

happy times.

ps yes i know about android not being right yet but iam willing to wait for it
[HD2 General] O_G:
Hi

I have always used windows mobile devices, i love it, but a lot of people hate it. Its like marmite i guess. If you are in the love camp then the hd2 is by far the best device yet. The sense interface is great, adding speed to getting to what you want to get at. The only thing i would say is a custom rom based around wm 6.5.x is a must. It adds the needed finger friendless, 6.5 still feels like it needs a stylus. Come on HTC i now you are reading, Bring us a official 6.5.x update!!

So if you are down with windows mobile and love the ability to tweak it the way you want it (but with hours on xda dev) Then The HD2 is the way to go! I love Mine:)

If you hate it by a nexus one or desire.

Peace

now time to play again right rom time.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Congrats on the the HD2 ....

I really think all NeoGreendawg was trying to say , in his gentlest of ways, was , "There is a sticky at the top of just about every forum(except this one of course) that says, "Please Post Questions in the Q&A Section" or something like that, to be honest not really sure what would qualify as General ...... ...

But I digress, Again Congrats on the HD2, and Happy 4th!!
[HD2 General] O_G:
Things like this is one reason why people are migrating to htcpedia which is a shame because it is nothing on XDADEV. If you have nothing helpful to say about a perfectly sensible question, then why post?

There is nothing wrong with your question. As watcher64 pointed out there is no sticky, so there was no harm in asking.

We are all here to help each other, i thought that was the whole point of this forum.

Hope you are happy with the HD2.:)

Peace.
[Droid Incredible General] Calibob2001:
Hopefully this catches the eyes of those who need to read it most...

Too many people are trying to take the easy road and post a new thread on a subject or idea, usually asking a question about something that has already been answered instead of doing a simple search!

I've been a member here for a couple years now and haven't needed to post very much because, if you take the time, the information is out there. 99.9% of the time, you aren't the first person to ask a question, have a problem, or hit a wall.

If you're having trouble doing something that was posted in a thread, POST YOUR QUESTION IN THAT THREAD!!

It seems as though there are a lot of newbies who are anxious to root their Inc, which is fine: If you pay attention, read the instructions and most of the thread before you begin, and follow them to a T . Every time I have a problem either rooting or installing a ROM or something else, I am the one who did something wrong.

Some of you are probably new to the Thread concept, which is also fine. It's very frustrating getting used to how they work, and learning the "right" way to do things- but trust me, it's worth it.

Posting a new thread is like standing on a chair in the middle of a crowded room and screaming out a question. If your in the wrong room (i.e. wrong section), people are going to be upset. If the question was already answered by another group (i.e. another forum), people are also going to be upset. If you aren't sure if you should start a new thread, you probably shouldn't.

Take the time and READ THE RULES! Here they are if you don't know where to find them:

So instead of starting a new thread like "How do I.." or "Where do I" or "Why can't I..." Do a search of the threads, Google it, or even hop on over to PPC Geeks, Trust me- you'll find the answers you're looking for.

BTW - Thanks to Mikey1022 for moderating

I wish people had to read this before they could post new threads. This forum seems to be worse than most of the other android forums on xda... not sure why.

Everyone who disagrees with this should check out the nexus one forum to get an idea of how lax things are here.
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
You better watch it. Some people may take offense to this. :rolleyes: people also have to be aware when they do make a new thread that it is in the correct section. Too many questions are being posted in Development instead of General. Let's keep the sections on topic so people can find what they came looking for.
[Droid Incredible General] bluetooth_decay:
I agree, but I can see the other side as well.

The "Root process" thread is up to 108 pages. Sure, searching helps, but you are still poring over pages and pages of forums for hours. I kind of learned that this was the buy-in from my WinMo days, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.

One advantage to sticking to existing threads, however, is that people who are successful will probably post back to that thread, with any variations they used, whereas they are less likely to post to a new thread.
[Droid Incredible General] barry1685:
How much time did you spend writing this? No ones going to pay attention.
[Droid Incredible General] yzdirtrider13:
You know they won't. The ones who post these repeated topics are the ones who freak out when they're lost, post a topic, and hit refresh all day instead of looking for the answer. The only ones who actually read this are the ones already pissed off about it.
[Droid Incredible General] JaydenR:
LOL, I didn't even read it. Just scrolled to through the comments:p
[Droid Incredible General] compnird:
There are so many pages of topics because of the issue that is being described. There is a very handy function called "search" that, while not perfect, at least narrows results down for you. You can search within a Section, Topic or down to a single thread for key words.

Odds are, if you are on here you know how to navigate the web. If you can't perform a basic search in a topic or thread then please don't try to root your phone or follow any instructions to change, modify or "hack" anything.

As was brought out by [OP], if you WANT to do something that you think will be useful to you, read up on it. If you do run into an issue, search the key word of your issue. Entering "boot loop", "frozen", "Error message 123" will return something to help you find your answer. Odds are, you are not alone and, if you find you are alone, return to the thread where you were following instructions to do whatever it was you want to do and post a reply describing your issues. [OP] or others who are familiar with the process will help. Patience is a must.
[Droid Incredible General] Calibob2001:
Far too long than I care to admit :rolleyes: - My first draft was rather angry and the overtone has calmed quite a bit...

And even if ONE newbie reads it and gleans even a whisper of insight as to how to operate the forums, then I have been 100% successful- even if 1% of those who read it take this to heart, at this point, that's still 2 fewer Threads the moderators have to close down...
[Droid Incredible General] yojoe600:
i agree with this
[Droid Incredible General] SerialKilla:
9 times out of 10 - even if they DO search,it's only once,and when they don't find the answer - instead of trying a different search, they go right to posting a new thread. You have to try a few different variations of your search first,and more than likely you WILL find the answer. It's just a matter of patience and thought.

Shouldn't this be in the rant section? Lol...I kid, I kid.

This thread might be useless, but has anyone seen the iPhone 4 bumper case? It looks pretty good, it does not offer much protection coz it only covers the side. But it does not bulk up the phone like most cases do, and it shows the back of the phone as well where the logo is.

I could use something like that for the nexus and show off the phone built by Google :-)
