Wavesecure is an excellent app
[EVO 4G General] conflikt:
Thank you i'll have a look :)
[EVO 4G General] churchwin88:
I tried wavesecure but for some reason it wouldn't find my location with GPS. It showed me like 20 miles away.

So, I tried Mobile Defense and it worked like a charm. It has the options to either lock the phone with a pattern(yet to try), send audible alerts(yet to try), or look at detailed tracking information.

Only thing is they no longer offer a download for it since it was for a beta. It should be released probably within the next few weeks.
[EVO 4G General] ThorSonic:
Mobile Defense
[EVO 4G General] AcIdC0R3:
Yep, Mobile Defense. :D
[EVO 4G General] enos:
I prefer Lost Phone which can lock and track the phone through SMS commands. I tried some of the others mentioned and my only problem with them is they were all mostly done through a website. The problem with that is if I am not near a computer when I lose my phone it doesn't help me. Stop Phone can lock the phone, send the GPS coordinates, and turn the volume up all with different text commands. And so far it's free.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
I've played with Android before on my Touch Diamond so I decided to pick up a used MyTouch from Craigslist. Like a n00b, I didn't do enough research. I ended up with a MyTouch 3G with a headphone jack (1.2). I only use TMO ToGo Prepaid and was thinking I could just pop in my sim and it would work. Unfortunately though, I can't get past the activation. Is there any way to get past this? Rooting it? I've searched and can't find any mention of activation hacks. Being 1.2, the 4-corners trick doesn't work. I can't find any way to force it to activate via Wifi. Screwed?

Also, mine shows no bars and an "X" on the bars. Is that normal pre-activation, or am I doubly screwed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] InTr4nceWeTrust:
4 corners doesn't work on a lot of devices. can't activate over wifi. you should be able to root and flash a rom that doesn't require activation (cyanogenmod is the most popular). you could also just find a friend with t-mobile and data. and sometimes people at the t-mobile store are nice enough to let you borrow their card to activate.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks, it looks like there's nothing I can do myself. I can't root unless I enable USB Debugging. I can't enable USB Debugging unless I root and flash cyanogenmod. Ugh.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
try this: http://www.gotontheinter.net/content/faq-unlockingactivating-g1-or-adp1-without-sim-card

skip step 3 and 4, because they don't apply to you

this SHOULD let you turn on wifi so you can set up your google account

let me know if this works, I never tried it on a non-rooted phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks, but the reason I can't root is also the reason why I can't try modifying settings.db, that is adb can't work on my phone. To use adb requires USB Debugging to be enabled, and it is apparently not enabled by default.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I would suggest starting off by rooting with a Goldcard.

Refer to my signature.

Then you should be able to flash any 32b custom rom (such as Cyanogen).

Once you have root, you should be able to skip the activation process.

The most difficult part would be to making the goldcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks, but that is the reason I can't root, because I can't make the goldcard without having the CID, and to get the CID requires USB Debugging to be enabled so I can run ADB commands. I can't turn on USB Debugging without getting past activation. Without USB Debugging = No ADB commands. No ADB commands = No goldcard.

Is there any other way to get the CID? I haven't found any. I can run FASTBOOT commands in FASTBOOT mode, but I haven't found any way to find the CID that way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You don't know a single person with a tmobile account?

Just so you can register your phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Not personally, no. I can probably drop by a T-Mobile store and beg when I find some time, but it's not real close. If I can get an unlock code for it, I could probably borrow an AT&T sim from a coworker with an iPhone data plan. I'd feel real awkward to ask because I'm not real close with the coworkers that I know for sure have data plans.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] saketkutta:
i am also stuck with the same thing...how did you do yours...

only being able to fastboot and not adb nothing can be done....i have friends with ATT data plans but since the phone is not unlocked cant use that too...

guess im screwed....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
I'm on T-Mobile, and they will send an unlock code for free - they have certain requirements before they will send an unlock code, but I qualified, so they sent me an unlock code (took about a week and a half to get). With the code, I unlocked my phone and then borrowed my mom's AT&T SIM card to activate the phone. She doesn't have a data plan, but all AT&T plans apparently have data available in $2 increments.

Then I turned on USB Debugging, went through the whole rooting procedure, and upgraded to Cyanogenmod 6.

However, I'm screwed because my phone has no service with my T-Mobile SIM card. It worked fine with my mom's AT&T SIM so I have no idea wtf is going on. Hard reset, reflashing, nothing fixes it. Only idea I have is maybe my 1900MHz radio is shot and 850MHz still works since AT&T is on 850MHz and TMO is on 1900MHz. I don't even know if it's physically possible for that to be the case, but nothing else explains it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
Not sure if this would help but did you wipe before you reflashed? Sometimes a good wipe fixes odd bugs. I know one time I had trouble getting any service with T-Mobile for some odd reason. So I wiped and reflashed my CM5 ROM. The problem went away after I did that, however I noticed you mentioned hard reset. I'm not too sure what you meant by that. So sorry if hard reset is the same as wiping.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
I didn't ever try wiping with the stock ROM, and I can't try it now because I'd have to borrow my mom's SIM card to activate again and I don't see her but once every few months.

I did try every wipe option in Amon Ra Recovery, many, many times, and none of those wipe options helped. That's what I meant by hard reset since I couldn't find any other way to wipe than through Amon Ra. If there are any other ways to wipe, I'd love to try.

I even thought maybe TMO blocked the IMEI, but I talked to them and they confirmed it is not blocked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Barbie10:
I was wondering if there is a tweak that will allow me to set custom ringtones for my text messages for contacts
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tnt23:
Man... my TP2 is Resting in Pieces...

im happy with what i got to do with it thx to xda devs...

but had issues with stereo bluetooth...with video playback.... and more generally with slow speed of the machine...

im wondering if i should go to HD2 but that baby lacks a keyboard...

or maybe wait on a TP3 ...

Ive been a htc guy for almost 6-7 years...but there was always something to complain about with them...

before buying the TP2 i thought it was the perfect machine...until i saw how slow the cpu was...and that the HD had twice its speed....that the wm system still needed rebooting often...

I hate apple, i dont feel like trying android...i think i will hate windows 7....

like i hated vista after XP...

i like my NRG romd on TP2 and now beeing able to run Rhobuntu feels amazing...especially with a real keyboard...

but after a year with the same machine...it doesnt feel right to put 300€ in another new TP2...

i know this thread is completly pointless...:) unless i get some good advice...

but i just had to let it out to my fellow TP2 owners

http://www.xpphone.com/en/ cant wait to see this in the stores
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
No go on spending 300 euro on a new TP2. So, how about spending 193 euro on a used TP2? :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726801
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nhshah7:
as much as i love my TP2, compared to what they have out there now, the TP2 is outdated and slow. I'd try to pick up a snapdragon device if you're putting in 300 euros...seems worthless to buy outdated equipment.

Do you want to stick with WM6.5? or is there any chance you'd be willing to jump ship to android? I know this is semi-blasphemous in this forum, but i wouldn't mind a nice desire for myself (stupid ATT doesn't have any good phones. damn them!).

either way, good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajuabju:
No offense, but you're likely making an unfair comparison.

The TP2 came with Sense 2.1. Thats what it was designed to use. Putting Sense 2.5, which was designed for another phone on the TP2, and expecting it to still perform well is unfair. It's like me putting Win7 on a computer thats 3 years old and originally shipped with WinXP. It might run, but its not gonna be pretty.

I spurned Sense altogether and went with SPB Mobile Shell. My phone FLIES. No lockups ever, better battery life, and I've grown to actually prefer the interface over time and with a lot of tweaking.

This aside, I agree with others that if I was in the market to buy a new phone right now, the TP2 is obviously outdated. Unless I was getting a crazy good deal (under $150), I'd go for something else.

Also dont forget that WM7 is likely coming out by year's end.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tnt23:
thx for everybody"s feedack...i actually went n bought a new TP2 for 220€ from a local ad...hoping insurance will upload me some $$ :)

i did my unlocking with olipro app : thx for the great job on that

even though im having issues with the tp2...its a love hate relationship

i love what i can do with it...but i hate what the slow proc and maybe wm system does to me...

i really like the sense 2.5 interface but i started testing android and it seems promising... but i wouldnt go for a device with android only...i hope the port will be fully functionnal one day.

from the screens i see wm7 looks ugly so i doubt i will go for it...

i guess ill just have to keep this one clean for sale when the tp3 come out

its a shame windows/HTC are loosing the smartphone battle when they were the first ones on it...

most apps and games look like they are from the 80s compared to a iphone...

but i prefer by far sense 2.5 NRG rom with cookiemonster than than apple's interface.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Tixer:
Just wondering if anyone can post a tutorial on how to update the android install, as I don't want to lose any of the changes I made to the initial install.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] howeasy:
Download the system.ext2 file for the beta2 release and then just replace the current system.ext2 that is on your SD card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] anothersmith:
Would the same apply when updating from Eclair 2.1 as provided by TheBrilliantMistake here ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] howeasy:
That seems to be using an XDAndroid system as well.

So the same would apply. Just note you will NOT be able to switch back to 2.1 after running 2.2 unless you delete your data.img file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] anothersmith:
It seems I have system.sqsh Can I rename the extension from 2.2 from .ext to sqsh or doesn't it work that way? Screen shot is the zip file contents from the XDAndroid 2.1 from TheBrilliantMistake cab install.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Just do a fresh install if you're running 2.1. I don't think a straight replacement of that file would work... You'd probably have to do some other crap to get it to work.

Extract the newest AIO to your SD card and run it. These cab installers are making people complacent about how this system works!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] anothersmith:
Yeah I agree. I installed the cab thinking it wouldn't work but it did!...now I'm digging Android. I read the Wiki and will start over with an andboot folder with the startup.txt setting file.

As detailed here in the android Wiki.

Thanks!

Thanks for the post. I tried to flash it through terminal like i used to do on my g1 but that did not work. This however did.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Dude, no. It does not stick and caps won't change that. Add another step to your method. Go to advanced while in recovery and choose reboot recovery. Realize it didn't stick LOL.

Hi everyone~

I'm worrying a bit about life and speed of SD card, I'm thinking, may I install all unprotected applications into SD card if possible? How is the speed of SD card compare to internal memory, and will that reduce lifetime of SD card?

Thanks a lot :)
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
I'm serious. It's slow everything force closes and I figured now that cyanogen had his new build of Froyo....I could give the kang o rama a try. but everything is still force closing and I have no idea how to fix it and I'm about ready to just give up :/

What do I do?
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Are you completely wiping everything before you install a rom?
[Nexus One General] caysman:
Give yourself a wipe, or at least a cache partition wipe
[Nexus One General] britoso:
if its slow then something is using a large amount of cpu power.

I just caught Flickie doing it (thanks to CPUStatusLED)....but it stopped before i got to uninstalling it.

Backup your apps, wipe everything data, ext, cache..then install a ROM.

My phone was freezing/rebooting 3-10 times a day before I did the above and now its quite stable.
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
EVERYTHING has been wiped. Dalvik, cache, Factory reset, everything I could do without doing anything to the SD card.

I'm seriously at a loss for words.

Currently on kang o rama's 2.2 cyanogen build A2 btw is what I'm trying to work with. Though it has been no different for other roms. I Mean it's so unresponsive and always force closes everything
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
2.1 works ok ?

2.2 doesn't you say? after all wipes and a clean install of Cyanogen and other ROMs? How about stock Froyo FRF91?

It may be a hardware error if the stock one doesn't work. So even if you got an unlocked phone, Google/HTC should replace it because it's hardware. If you're installing it wrong SOMEhow.. then that's another story.
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
EDIT: NVM believe I found it
[Nexus One General] player911:
I just went through this.

Just download the PASSIMG.ZIP from the latest Eclair build and put it on the root of your SD card. Go into bootloader and it will automatically pick it up.

In a minute you'll be at stock Eclair. By the time you can get into the Settings menu, you'll have the majority of FRF91 downloaded. Let it do its thing and probably within 5 minutes you'll be sitting pretty on a stock FRF91 Froyo build.

[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
If you've used the Froyo App2SD function, then you might need to delete your .AndroidSecure folder on your SD card after a flash.

I never touched that folder and the last few times I flashed a ROM I was getting weird problems where I couldn't install things, it would hang, I would get FCs, etc. I deleted that folder, rebooted, and everything was cleared up for me.

...Of course you'll have to install those apps again.
[Nexus One General] bryanchapman9999:
Have you installed the latest radio image? Even if you have give it another flash. I had the same problem on my Hero
[Nexus One General] player911:
Yea thats a good idea. The short time I've been on Android, it seems like A LOT of CRAP gets brought into new builds. Everytime I flash a new rom, the Market downloads all the crap from before. lol.

While I can see it as being a nice feature, it can get troublesome. When my replacement Nexus comes tomorrow, I'm going to backup my APK files and format my SD card. Start completely from scratch on Froyo 2.2
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
Usually I have NO problem hunting for things myself...but I DO NOT AT ALL...see this "Passimg" in that thread.

ANYWAYS I'm gonna try reflashing the radio to see if that helps
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
This is why I just use stock stuff, I want my phone to just work ;)
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
Foo Stock dun work :P.

Anyways good news...I've gone more then a few minutes without it crashing. :D. I think the radio think might actually have worked.

Wait market crashed. I'm hoping it's just a thing and I'm gonna reboot and try again.
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
Nope just more Force Closes :(

Tell me about this passimg.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
And you're sure your N1 isn't defective?
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
Other then the occasional data connection failure...yea Eclair worked perfectly.

And sriously...guys I need the effing stock rom image I wanna try something else BUT I don't have it.

Oh yea. AND NOW I'm trying to reinstall the apps but it says out of space...and I can clearly see I have 111 mbs of internal storage. I think it's installing it on the SD card. IDK HOW TO MAKE IT STOP and I'm so frustrated I'm about ready to dump my n1. I've been screwing with this forever and I was excited. The first build of Cyanogen and nothing works...
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
Wipe, install rom, reboot and hold volume down to load the bootloader, power off in bootloade, pull battery, remove microsd, replace battery, boot and set it up. See what happens.

@OP

Re-install Kang-o-rama after a full wipe with a **freshly formatted SD card**, nothing at all on it except the Kang-o-rama zip. Boot and use without installing any new apps or any backups for an hour, don't log into Google during this time. What's the result?

If that doesn't work, download an IntersectRaven kernel and then follow the above procedure again (format SD card again), reinstall Kang-o-rama then before you reboot, install the IR kernel. Boot and use without installing any new apps or any backups for an hour. What's the result?

[EVO 4G Accessories] pingpongboss:
lol are you talking about cancelling the Active? I'll start doing the review when I'm off work at 8ish. Taking, converting, and uploading the video will take another hour or so.

Mm I'd say it's pretty much Surface+Active thickness, which is what you'd expect at around 3-5mm total (2-4mm on each side). That's just me eyeballing it though
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
No, I actually have the Rugged case preordered from Amazon. I have been waiting because it is ten dollars less and with my free Amazon Prime membership....I get free 2-day shipping.

so i had a close look at my case today... the tab that covers the usb/hdmi ports is already about to tear off...

this is a MAJOR disappointment, i really like this case but i haven't even got a full week of use out of it yet before the tabs start tearing

ill be contacting Seidio about this tonight, hopefully they will atleast try to make this right, as im sure i will not be the only person to have this problem

You're not the only one. I mentioned this problem in my review, and Seidio assured me that they are working on making them stronger.
