[HTC Aria General] timtucker:
You won't regret it

I have a Backflip, the AT&T flavor of Google's HTC Nexus One, and now an Aria. I had the poor little Backflip out the other day so I could let it do the OTA update. I had forgotten just how slow and underpowered that thing is. Sure, I loved having an actual physical keyboard, but I absolutely don't miss the "tap and wait" interaction with the Backflip. If you have the chance to get an Aria, do it. It will be a whole new world for you.
[HTC Aria General] seboj:
Use Swype. Once you get used to that, you'll be like "what keyboard"?
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
Last sunday I decided to stop by the At&t store to play with the Aria a bit more and ended up leaving the store with one of my own. There are only a few things I miss about the backflip 1. Camera flash 2. flipping the camera forward 3. slightly better speakerphone.

All in all I think the Aria is leaps and bounds a far better phone than the backflip. When I picked up the backflip I was glad it had a hardware qwerty keyboard. Soon I found myself typing on the screen more and more. The original motorola onscreen keyboard is HORRIBLE and within a week of having the backflip I installed the HTC keyboard (HTC_IME.)

The Aria speeds along with out a problem, I'm so happy to be out of that 1.5 cupcake hell! I actually really loved the backflip, but due to it's underpowered hardware and inability to be rooted I gave up. If you have the choice to return the backflip and pick an Aria I say go for it!
[HTC Aria General] arsinic:
hahaha, i used to hate using the tiny keyboard on my Pure, ever since i got swype on it, i didn't mind it at all. though i do miss using a stylist with swype, it helps a lot.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
My wife has had hers about three weeks, and her only persistent complaint about it is the speakerphone. HTC really should have spent the extra nickel on a better speaker. Turned up loud enough to hear (in a purse, in a crowd, etc) it's really distorted, so I suspect at some time there will be reports of speaker damage from being too high, etc..

Not that I'm that thrilled about the speaker on my Nexus One coming from a Tilt 2, but oh well..
[G1 Accessories] down8:
I got my girl a BB Curve today, and got some info on the Vibrant. While I was at the store, all the G1 stuff was on sale for $1.99 - like all the stuff. Cases, screen protectors, whatever.

Just FYI, and YMMV, of course....

[G1 Accessories] r4d14n7:
I'll have to check my store. Thanks for the heads up!
[G1 Accessories] G1ForFun:
Cool, gonna check out my local T-mobile stores and see if I can pick up anything good. I could use a new screen protector for 1.99 :D
[G1 Accessories] frankencat:
Yep, got me a new rubber cover and car charger for $1.99. Just in time as my old case was getting pretty worn out.
[G1 Accessories] -RotorDemon-:
Thanks for the heads up.. I'll see if the one in my area is doing that.
[G1 Accessories] -RotorDemon-:
Yep. Mine sure was doing it. I picked up a few body glove faux leather cases with belt clips, few back covers, holster, a gel skin / car charger combo.

All were $1.99 each. I really appreciate the heads up on the blowout sale.
[G1 Accessories] Shrivel:
Also wanted to add my thanks - my local T-Mobile store was running the sale as well and I was able to pick up two backs and a Bodyglove case for 2 bucks a piece.

Wish the headset adapters were on sale (still 10 bucks a piece), though.
[G1 Accessories] funkeee:
Thanks a ton! I grabbed a car charger/gel skin combo for $1.99 and a (probably faux) leather case for $1.99. Probably should've skipped on the screen protectors, 2 for $10, because they're much cheaper online. Got them anyway and saved on shipping.

Thanks again for the heads up.
[G1 Accessories] firefly123:
Thanks, gotta bodyglove cover for 1.99 but then decided I don't like it. It adds a 1/4 inch all round to the size, the belt clip sucks and no glass protection. Oh well, cheap mistake.
[G1 Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
gonna hafta go check this out!
[G1 Accessories] agentfusion:
Confirmed. Got a clear snap on case, a rubber skin, and the thick body glove shell w/ belt clip for $1.99 each at a t-mo corporate store yesterday.
[G1 Accessories] agentfusion:
Back covers? Like the OEM Battery covers that say "With Google" ? If so, I need to call the t-mo store I hit yesterday for my stuff and see if they have them. I have a rogers dream, which doesn't have any branding on the front except htc, and rogers on the battery cover... so if I can replace the battery cover with the google one, that'd be awesome!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ilovemytilt1:
Yeah I'm a bit scared of samsung's support for android phones. Plus it has touchwiz
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mycalw:
Bump! We NEED allshare.... There is nothing on the market like it. Please port it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
i feel u on that i installed there launcher on my evo and it was rough i didnt like it at all
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] manup456:
Use this was ported and works great on the EVO here---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709763
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mycalw:
I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
Correct its basically just the launcher shell
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] manup456:
Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.

I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] topdnbass:
I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.

Is there a work around?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dav1boy:
confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] swankydank2001:
Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krazyflipj:
Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.

note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] manup456:
Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mycalw:
Anyone have luck any getting allshare ported? I have an evo and would love to have the app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sdsoundguy:
Calendar, Contacts & Dialer

Anyway to get the Calendar, Contacts, & Dialer working on the Evo I ordered 2 of the Epics for coworkers and set those up really liked the those apps, would love to see them on the Evo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KT:
What's the best ROM for HD2. I have 1024 Mb of Flash size and 576 Mb of RAM size.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] watcher64:
Sounds like you have a TMOUS HD2, any ROM that is TMOUS compatible that you like ...

NO Radio x.xx.51.x, this will brick your phone ..

Can't really tell you what ROM is best, because everyone has different tastes ...

But IF I was going to suggest one .. It would be something from the Energy Series, check my sig ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kelvin_swe:
i am on tmobile htc hd2. i tried a lot of roms and the best i think is anyrom with gtx theme and with cht 1.8.5
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KT:
Thanks for the info. Yes I do have a Tmo US. Just bought it today. Used to have a HTC Universal last. Things have changed drastically since. Cant seem to find my way around. Any starting point you recommend to start reading up on the ROM flashing procedure... I'd hate to brick my phone on day 1... hehe

Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] watcher64:
Start here

You will need HSPL3 first just search for it, don't have the thread handy ...

for just about any ROM you will want to follow a simple procedure ,

HSPL3 first, this only has to be done once, unless you flash a stock rom from the SD card , as that will remove it ..

Task 29>Flash Rom>Flash Radio>Hard Reset after first boot>Enjoy

the Radio is optional, but you should find a good one that works for you

2.12.50.20_2 is what I use works great ...

One thing to remember , battery life may suck right after you flash, give it a couple charge cycles to learn ...

I think that's should get you started ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ultimaex:
Please use ROMS in that section if you dont know anything now.

as watcher64 said before: read about radios. You need to be sure that they are tmous compatible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j369852147412:
So I bought a Nexus One on craigslist. I thought it was all stock until I ran into the "cannot establish reliable sever connection" when I tried to sign into my google account. My question is how do I restore my phone back to the newest version of android 2.2. It is not unlocked (no unlocked padlock on boot screen). Under "Build number" it says "passion-userdebug Froyo FRE74 28579 test-keys." Under Android version it says "Froyo" instead of 2.2. And many of the 2.2 features are not present such as wifi tethering, and the new icons at the bottom center of the home screen aren't there. I only have the single grid icon and not the set of 3 with the browser and phone. And i'm not sure where to go from here. I want to be able to log into my gmail account and the android marketplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
Assuming you verified you have Data Connection enabled and have the proper APN settings::::

Your seller may have rooted the phone without necessarily unlocking the bootloader. see

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710842

Also, the link I just added shows the different versions of 2.2 (missing a couple) but FRE74 doesn't look like one of them.

First find out if it is a rooted phone, Check the app drawer for any SuperUser or Spareparts icon. That or try installing Busybox from the marketplace and executing it.

If it is rooted,flash one of the many ROMS available on XDA, Cyanogen just released his beta version tonight. Personally I use Enomther Rom. Official version is out.

And BTW, read up on the process of flashing... most require you to wipe first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
and if it is not rooted....

All you need to do is do a Factory Reset

Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset

After that check what your Build number is.

Then you can go to your dialler and enter

*#*#checkin#*#*

What that will do is connect your phone to the Google servers, say hello, and the server will send the update to your phone. (Force OTA - Over The Air update)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j369852147412:
My data connection is working, I browse the internet fine except for the youtube app and gmail.com. When I go to gmail.com through my browser I get "a secure data connection could not be established." But yahoomail and flickr logins work fine on both wifi and 3g. No superuser or spareparts icons in the drawer. I can't access the android marketplace since I cannot log into my google account. I did the factory restore and the build number is the same. I did the checkin from my dialer and it said "checkin failed"

So it seems like the phone is rooted but I just need to flash a rom with the froyo features I want. Any links or guides to doing this? I read and superboot seemed like the easiest way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
Sounds to me like an issue with radio... flash a new radio might do the trick. However, before I start messing around with the radio not knowing anything about my phone, I'd look into doing this first.

This will bring your Nexus One back to it's original shipping rom. It's gonna be alot of work, BUT this IS almost a $600 phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j369852147412:
So I followed those directions and i'm back on android 2.1 and i can log into my google and everything seems to work fine. I want to update to 2.2 so I go to system updates, download the update, and install. But during the install process it shows the little box with the android and the loading bar but it stops and goes to the android and the exclamation point. I'm not sure what to do from here. My Build Number is ERD79
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Hold Volume up and press Power (or possibly the other way around). That should bring up the recovery menu.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j369852147412:
I tried once with the OTA update I downloaded, the phone restarted and tried to install by itself but went to the android with the !. So I download a froyo rom and rename it update.zip, not .zip.zip. And put it on my phone, I'm in the blue recovery screen and it says signature error. I'm thinking its the wrong rom i'm using.
[General Questions and Answers] insomia:
good day masters!

is there a way to completely disabling the phone funtion (outgoing incoming call) and just keeping only the SMS Messaging funtion only? just like sending messages using Broadband USB Modem.

ive tried some call blocking and filtering function programs (magicall,smartsms, etch) but i preferred not to use them. all of them doesnt completely block call.

honestly, im just avoiding a call but i still want to send/recieve messages.

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariozo:
Does anyone have an ide how to get the phone back to the "orginal" FJ3 Firmware if you not did a backup and been play around with new firmwares? smile.gif

Also how to get rid off that "rooted" sign on the GroVer. about the phone, mean if it get broken it is not good to have that "Rooted" sign all over when hand it in smile.gif
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
There have been several requests on the forum for JF3 (I assume you mean that since FJ3 doesn't exsist) and so far nobody has the JF3 firmware. However, the most troubling thing to miss in probably the CSC since they likely do not record what firmware your phone originally came with but they will know what carrier-specific apps were installed.

Please use the "search" function next time!

[XPERIA X10 General] dcarr622:
I currently use a G1 on AT&T. Since AT&T isn't aware it's a smartphone (it's just unidentified to them), I use the cheap $10 or 15 non-smartphone unlimited data plan.

Can anyone confirm to me that the Xperia x10 (x10a) is the same way?
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
It's the same low price. I hope they don't start to sell X10a which anyway is unlikely as they are already hyping Samsung Captivate which has better specs and more latest OS.

My wife uses N97 mini with the low $15 plan as well and I previously used X1, and N97.

it is a cheap knock off, if you really need 2 cameras and 2 sims then go a head, but do keep in mind that it only resembles the g2 in apperence, It does not have the same hardware and it definitively does not have the android OS, so no apps or anything like that.

I am very pleased having rooted my phone. Big thanks to the devs!

The whole process took me about 30 minutes. But about 1 hour or so of reading time and downloading the right files. All i can say is READ CAREFULLY!

But i have noticed great performance from my phone. I removed all of the stock packages except for mediascape (lets face it guys... its not as bad as people say it is)

Camera has dramatically improved in speed. I use the camera often so I highly recommend anyone who uses it alot to root your phone.

Running co-pilot live for about 2 hours today. Music played for atleast 3 hours. Approx. 70 minutes of talk time. Atleast 2 hour of emails ane browsing the web. Installed a few apps from the app store (BTW google maps update today gives google navigation for canada :)) Overall speed on the entire phone seems fantasic. VERY snappy.

I look forward to custom roms.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:

Registered phone when I had t-mo service and used it without data for the longest time after I canceled my plan. Now I'm using ATT with NO option for data.

Went to do the 1.5 downgrade/root and totally forgot the phone was going to force me to register again. I do not have access to data or any friends with a SIM card with data (they all use CDMA).

I've tried the 4 corner trick multiple times on 1.5 and 1.6 with no luck.

I've tried fastbooting a recovery ROM, I have a "perfected" SPL, "remote not allowed"

I've tried flashing custom roms, no luck, they aren't "signed".

Tried Vodaphone/etc other 32B roms and the HTC RRU doesn't even see the phone.

I've tried and tried and tried on multiple computers to get adb working BUT I cannot activate dev mode since I cannot get access to the phone

I've tried Safe Mode on 1.5/1.6 in an attempt to bypass the registration screen, no luck.

/rant

UGHHHH! BUT the phone IS unlocked.. It's MY damn phone, I should be able to do what I want to it.. But NOOo! Just as Verizon locks GPS on their phones every other provider MUST PROTECT THEIR MARKET SHARE and FORCE people into data plans! They will keep new code from us so our phones are "embarrassing" and must consume and consume more and more crap, buying the newest $600 phone that is sub $200 in materials while landfills sit and rot to kill future generations by PCBs and other toxic materials and while we use up our finite resources...

you need to use ADB for this. connect the phone to usb, open CMD on your PC and go to androidsdk/tools then type/paste in these 2 lines one at a time

adb shell

this will bring up the wireless settings on the phone so you can turn on wifi, and connect to the net that way

I use Sipdroid on my phone and it can interrogate into the phone so when you make a call it automatically calls with Voip over 3g (or wifi). I would liek to know weather it is possible to completely disable making voice/Video calls and texts over mobile network. As i would like to start giving android phones to my employees with data sims because data sims have much cheaper data rates but if you make a call/text its really expensive. And i wouldnt want an employee to accidentally exit sipdroid so when they make a call it doesn't use voip. also I still want to be able to receive regular calls.
