my friends took me out to the multiplex and wanted to see this awful movie....i just opened opera on my HD2 and showed them the review of the film...and they changed their mind, watched inception a second time,.............phew, saved from a definite headache
[HD2 General] pongskie:
ahah! i usually do that before watching movies. reviewing on the spot! :D
[HD2 General] pongskie:
This get's very frustrating but i know my HD2 wants me to cook something for him. It's been a week since I started reading stuffs about cooking a rom. So far so good, I have successfully cooked a rom (base 2.14|23569|manila 2016). As of today i test my rom for my HD2 and we have a bonding that was stronger that before. :D
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
My story's quite sad.

After an entire day downtown, as I was going home, I decided to call my best friend. I took my HD2 out, made that call and put it back in my pocket, so everything was fine. Later on, I went to visit my grandma and see how she was doing. Upon my arrival, I decided to call my girlfriend to tell her that I`ll be late home. To my surprise, my HD2 was turned off. Turning it on wouldn't work, so I took the battery out, put it back in and tried once more. This time, it booted, but only to greet me with a white screen of death.

When I got home, I tried everything I could to revive my beloved HD2: from letting it charge for more than 3 hours to using MTTY and reflashing HSPL and radios, but to no avail. My HD2 decided it was time for him to leave me.

As I could not remove the HSPL and I had to get it back to warranty the next day, I decided that the best thing to do was to microwave my HD2 to the point where it either stopped booting or it was impossible to access the bootloader. Fortunately, that worked, and after less than 60 seconds in the microwave oven, my HD2 would still turn on but the bootloader stopped working.

Right now, the phone is back in service and hopefully, I`ll either get a new one or get to choose another phone.

This was the sad and real story of a very sad HD2 owner.
[HD2 General] monty_rm:
What sad lives you people lead! It really is just a phone. If your 'beloved' HD2 really is such a big part of your lives then I think you need to have a quiet word with yourselves!
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
You should really chill out, dude. If you don`t like it here, no one is forcing you to read our "stories". We`re just a bunch of guys having some fun, I really don`t see any harm in that.

My HD2 broke, indeed, but that`s not the end of the world for me, to be honest. I just sent it to get fixed and I`ll probably be getting it back soon. And learn some respect, I doubt any of us here told you to "have a quiet word with yourself".
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
You tell 'em Monty! :p
[HD2 General] pongskie:
Ahah! Yeah right! you're the coolest of them all dude!! :p

No stories to tell about your HD2? Then sit there, watch tv, cook something to eat, take a bath or go to your grandma's place. Do something else rather than saying things to other people in a place where you can't

RELATE

to. :p

Why don't you try to find your own happiness!? :D
[HD2 General] pongskie:
Whoa! That sure was sad mate. Sorry for your HD2. Hopefully you'll just get a new one coz there's a lot more waiting for our HD2s out there. :(
[HD2 General] Faelok:
I'll never forget the time I dropped my HD2 on solid concrete. First, I should say that I use no type of protection (screen or case). For me, much of the appeal of the HD2 is it's beautiful design and slim profile. One day at work, I decided to inadvertently test the durability. It was one of those moments where for no reason, I lost complete control of my body. I watched in slow-motion horror as my hands clumsily juggled my precious phone before it slipped through my fingers and rocketed toward the hard concrete floor. In a desperate moment of ninja-like quickness, I judo kicked my HD2 on the way down, not realizing that feet are not hands and the phone would not gently come to a stop on the tip of my toes. "I should have been a professional football player," slipped breifly through my mind as the phone now reached a new and far more deadly height than when it initially began its decent. I still remember the crash as it landed face down on the pavement... The battery cover and battery flying out... The horrible skidding sound... I fell to my knees wondering if the flux capacitor could get me out of this mess. But believe it or not: Not a crack. Not a scratch.

To this day I can't understand how it survived... I'm so happy it did.
[HD2 General] pongskie:
ahah! so even phones have miracles eh? ahah! lucky you mate! very lucky you!
[HD2 General] pongskie:
More stories? :D
[HD2 General] PINki92:
When I was buying my HD2, the girl that sold it to me (she was using it 2 months) was so sweat and good-looking that I forgot to check for the SD card (bundled with phone). When I came home, I remembered I haven't checked it. :p But luckily I had an 8gb card at home, so didin't have to buy it.

Maybe I should call her to bring me the card next day and buy her a drink :D

When I asked her why is she selling it, she said she didn't like the WM (yea, I understood her, too much tweaking etc.:rolleyes:) and was going for Desire.

Thought, I could share my little story :):)
[HD2 General] pongskie:
ahah! buy her a drink and invite her to eat dinner.. then next day invite her to watch movie and join her to buy her desire! the next thing you know that girl was already yours! :eek:
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Went climbing with it the other day, terrible weather zero visability, seems the phone really really doesnt like water on the screen, so thats a negative point for the cap screen....on the plus side when i got back water was dripping out of it....and its still working so all good, memory map probably saved my life on this thing after my mapcase leaked and left me with an unusable map so my HD2 is now officially hardcore!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BABABANG:
Everything was working fine with my dinc up until tonight, when I attempted to charge the phone. Whenever I plug it in to charge, the charge seems to flicker (The charge LED keeps turning on and off, and the charging indicator in the notification bar keeps flashing from charging to not charging).

I suspected it might be a cable problem, so I used a completely new charging cable and plug that I got from my replacement dinc. Same problem.

Please note that this phone is in stock, original form. No rooting or any modifications have been done to it.

Any ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do to fix it? I tried pulling the battery but that did no good. When I put it back in, the phone automatically turns on (without me touching anything) and the same charging problem persists.

All help is greatly appreciated. Greatly. Thank you in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyRo_DuDe:
When you plug into your computer, do you constantly lose connection? Sounds like (since you tried a different cable - that was my first guess) it's probably your micro usb connection slot. Try blowing it out, wiping it out, etc. Maybe you got some pocket lint in there that's messing with the connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrism_scotland:
I know that the Samsung Galaxy is DNLA capable with a compatible telly for streaming movies, etc but I've also seen videos online of a TV Out function on the Galaxy S via the 3.5mm port on the phone but I was wondering if anyone can confirm this and has used it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Yeah I bought a cable for the TV-out, it's not the prettiest picture on a HDTV as it's composite, but it is fine if you are in a hotel and want to watch a film or surf the internet from your phone. It's not good for gaming as there's some lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrism_scotland:
Do you think it would work ok for like a SNES Emulator?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
From where did you purchase the cable please?

A link would be ideal. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] al3ash8:
:)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...706110&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2827wt_952
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Many thanks.

Do you know if this is the same link that Tachikoma_kun purchased from?

Reason I ask is I note Tachikoma_kun is in the UK the same as I and I'd like to hear if he purchased from either a UK retailer or on Ebay.co.uk. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
I bought mine from eBay.co.uk from a seller called "Superetrader", it was a CA-75U cable for Nokia N95-N96-N97, etc. It cost £1.94 including delivery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
This is the one that I bought:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400136001596

The seller also does a great pull-up leather case for the SGS for the vast sum of £2.99 inc postage which I bought at the same time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bandoo:
Is it possible to get a usb mini to hdmi cable, an then some how use it to display hd vid to your TV...?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Probably not, you might be able to get a VNC client on the phone and view it on a computer, but I doubt you can output HDMI over the USB port as you would have to design the hardware especially for that, and it would be a listed feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
The cables exist... but probably not compatible with Galaxy S...

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...l&subsubtype=data-cables-kits&tab=accFeatures

1. We need to know whether the hardware is capable.

2. If its hardware capable, then hopefully someone can build the software. If not... then we are stuck with composite lols.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
I tried searching a bit, found a lead to some Japanese boards. So i opened a thread in 2 boards.

The guys over in DoCoMo boards in Japan and futaba/2ch claim it to work.

On the other hand, those guys are master trolls, i don't know if it would be wise to trust their word on this.

So i'd wait a bit more, but it at least gives some hope for it to be compatible.

Do remember that we didn't even know about the composite TVOUT when the device was launched.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thanks guys.

Yes, I have purchased from SuperETrader before and did not have any problems with them then.

I'll order one in the next few days when I return home. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
You may not have but I got it from the manual a few weeks before it was launched.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Well, you had the manual before the launch, i didn't...

Anyway, this is wierd. I searched a bit on some sites, and tried to filter down everything to samsung phones that support HDMI.

No results. By specs, none of samsung's phones support HDMI.

So why the hell does this product exist, and why does it say on the product page

"by connecting your compatible SAMSUNG phone"

But... no phones is compatible, by official specs.

You confuse me, Samsung, you seriously do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Do Samsung themselves claim HDMI support on the phone?

It can send files via DLNA, and you can connect it to anything that can display an input from a composite connection.

I don't see why you are so angry, other than the fact you assumed it would allow HDMI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Agreed... there is no mention and never has been mention of any HDMI connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
He's not that angry, though it's hard to judge someone's intent from some text... and anyhow, he's not stressed that the galaxy s doesn't support HDMI out, he's confused as to why Samsung appear to have a cable on the market for which no Samsung phone on the market appears to have a use for, let alone the Galaxy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
The way i put it down was a bit off, i'm not even a bit angry. there's no reason for me to be. I bought this device regardless of HDMI support.

I'm just very confused, as SquidgyB says.

It's very odd that such a cable exists if there isn't a single product that supports it, supposedly.

Though i didn't think for a moment i'll get HDMI support from this phone (and actually, when i bought it i thought DLNA was the only way i can get a video output, so even the 3.5 composite was a pleasent suprise), i'd be happy if it turns out to support it.

I think we will all be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
You could buy the official guide for Half Life on the Dreamcast from Amazon. A game that never made it to release.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SquidgyB:
Fair enough - point is; it's an oddity. You wouldn't expect to find something like that, and that's why he was confused.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism_scotland:
Rooted and upgraded my Desire to stock Froyo and found it to be really good, its very quick although the built in Apps to SD function doesn't seem to work for anything.

Anyway I was wondering how I can access the advanced settings in the Android Browser to change the User Agent from Mobile to Desktop as unlike my original firmware on the Desire the Froyo browser seems to load the mobile sites as default and not the desktop sites, its doing my head in!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Type about:debug in the address bar, then go to Menu > Settings > UAString (last option).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
If you're using the default browser just untick mobile view in the settings.
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
Hey,

I'm on T-Mobile right now and I have the n900. I'm thinking of moving to Sprint and getting the EVO this friday.

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and I haven't really found a post with rational complaints about the phone. So I figured I'd ask EVO owners what the main issues are with the phone.

Battery life for instance, the n900 has pretty awful battery life but I've been able to make it work. I can get it through a 9-3/4 shift with 3G always connected. How does the EVO compare? I heard the Droid X might be even better but that's a no go for me.

I want to use the EVO as a primary phone and I'll do my mobile browsing and all that facebook/twitter stuff on it. I compared the n900 browser and the Android browser at the sprint store and I was damn impressed. It was a lot faster and it wasn't even on 4G.

Sorry for the long post. Bear with me, I'm a tad excited.
[EVO 4G General] ruben8448:
I love the EVO, its probably one of the best phones i ever owned. The battery is a bit of a problem, but then again your running a powerful phone. I would recommend that you root the phone and add a rom, preferably Damage Control, the battery runs amazing with the rom. Also, you can fix the 30 fps problem it has with a simple signed file.

Other than that the phone is amazing, it actually runs really fast on 3g, i havent tried 4g yet but 3g on this phone runs faster than other phones. The camera is just truly amazing on it, 8 megapixels and great video, 720p. I would recommend this phone.

Another option is to wait a little and try out the new phone by samsung, i cant remember the name at the moment, but that is another great phone coming to sprint.
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
I really don't like the look of the Epic 4G. Sprint has that 30 day return thing, right?

What is the 30 fps thing?

Also, I have been wondering if I should root it or not. I really don't like playing around with my primary phone, I haven't even overclocked my n900 yet. Is rooting something the average user would do?
[EVO 4G General] th3_g00b:
there is a known issue of stock evos being maxed out at 30 frames per second. the devs here have been working hard to remove that cap and have progressed in that quest very well :) just make sure when u get ur phone u check the hardware and panel to know what kernel to flash to get better fps (only way i know of the checking the panel is by rooting. not sure if u can do it without). awesome thing about android is that its completely customizable. as said by ruben8448, u can add a custom rom to spice up ur UI and also some come with kernels to help out with battery drain. they've released the source for the evo so there is gonna be alot of good things coming in regards to custom roms. u think the evo/android os is fast? wait for froyo. its a complete overhaul of the OS and speeds will increase 3-5 times faster. once u go android, u really wont wanna swap to anything else :) the options are just too endless :D
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
Is the headphone jack like the iPhone/iPod one?

I couldn't use my ipod earphones with my n900. The mic doesn't work too well with nokias
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
I figured I'd chime in here,I've had my Evo since the Friday after launch and love it.Battery drain was a bit of an issue before the updated radios came out but I was able to pick up 2 spares and a charger on Ebay for around 10 bucks.Since they updated the readios I'm generally getting thru my 10 hr day with about 50% battery remaining with what I would consider moderate use(total of an hour or so of web browsing,checking and replying to emails several times a day and a hand ful of voicecalls).I have rooted and its really been made quite easy to do now.I'm in total agreement with thgoob,once you've had an android you'll never go back:)
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
Another thing, the 30 fps issue affects only game graphics for the most part, right?
[EVO 4G General] chefdementia:
I agree with you on the 3G speed, while waiting for food last night, I loaded up a couple websites and was astonished at how fast they would load. Just purchased my EVO on monday, switched from a 3g iPhone, So far So good.
[EVO 4G General] DrawnToScale:
I'm not a gamer, and 30 fps is a non-issue - I really don't get all the whining on this issue. Coming from WinMo, cutting & pasting with Android is a pain. I don't see a good solution yet for editing spreadsheets. Can't use Skype with Android. Battery life is OK - you can get through the day with moderate use without changing the stock software. Screen looks great, fun to use.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
i've not noticed any issues with the 30fps cap. perhaps i will noticed a difference if CM6 incorporates a change. but for me, its a non-issue.

i'm more looking forward to see if they can activate the FM Transceiver.

battery life requires that you compromise with your phone. some ROMs are better at battery life than others. I personally prefer the FRESH ROMs. stable and solid. the 4G is turned off most of the time because i live right along the edge of the coverage lines...so i chew through the battery in an attempt to stay connected as i commute and go up the elevator. when i need it, i turn it on (thank you QuickDesk) and away i go. but to be honest, the 3g is fast enough for most of what i do. the one big advantage of having 4g on is that my meebo does not disconnect if i take a phone call. if i'm 4g is off, a phone call will disconnect meebo. again not a 'OMG issue', but i do look forward to stronger 4g coverage.

however, with cyanogen about to release CM6 for the EVO, i will be jumping over play with that. keep in mind that CM6 is Android 2.2 Froyo (not the current EVO OS of Android 2.1).

oh...here is a good battery related thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Battery life will always be an issue especially with a phone as powerful as the EVO and a screen this big. However, like posted earlier, rooting opens up big improvements for battery life and performance. Android is not a great OS for productivity. That's what Blackberrys and WM are for. The fps fix does improve scrolling and video recording in my opinion. Also, I recently switched from T Mobile after 9 years of service and Sprint's data coverage and speed are WAY better. If you like a physical keyboard get a moment or wait for the epic. Otherwise, go with the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
How does the cutting and pasting work? I didn't think about trying that at the store

There is no android skype client?
[EVO 4G General] nosa101:
How do close apps on the EVO? How do you switch between active apps?
[Hero CDMA General] :
I'm using DarchDroid 2.7. I didn't have this problem on Fresh, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

After I transfer files, none of my music apps show the new files I transferred. The files are displayed in the file explorer, but not in any music app. I tried remounting the SD card and rebooting, but still had no success. I even manually scanned with MixZing, but that didn't work either.
[Hero CDMA General] brian2220:
i have the same problem also so im guessing it has to do with the rom :p
[Hero CDMA General] boydroid:
i have had this happen to me...reformat card and works fine

just for the hell of it, reboot into recovery and go to other, then fix uid permissions, let it run, and then try... I've used darch droid for a while and it finding music has never been an issue.

[EVO 4G General] MaximilianPs:
I wish to purchase the EVO, but to use it in Europe we need to chage the radio :rolleyes:

actually it use the

CDMA 800/1900 MHz

while here we use

HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

so i was wondering if there's any chanse to change the default radio,may be with the HD2 europe, maybe ? :D

any other idea ?
[EVO 4G General] ruben8448:
I don't believe it can be done. The evo uses a CDMA network and you need a gsm network to run in Europe, so you would need new hardware within the phone. So the evo won't work but the HD2 i believe may work. I had a friend who went out to europe and it worked for him while he was there.
[EVO 4G General] MaximilianPs:
Thnx for the reply, so i can put a boulder on it :(

we have the HD2 but i really wish to have and EVO... farewell.

i still wait for something more ^_^
[EVO 4G General] quietpopcorn:
IIRC the HD 2 is pretty similar to the evo and I think someone got android running on it. You should google that.
[EVO 4G General] paultje_007:
Funny that there isn't a European version of the EVO.

Looking at the inside LINK: (iFixit), for developers, wouldn't it be just as easy to make one with a HSPA/WCDMA/GSM chipset?

(see CDMA chip on second page on iFixit)...

Still waiting for a European version of the EVO!........

Hi everybody,

I would like to share and understand if the behavior of my Diamond is a standard behav.

I've radio version 1.00.25.05 running a ROM 1.93.772.1 "branded H3G" in Italy.

I often can see a strange behavior of the radio I mean there are many cases in which my diamond does not have a data connection opened (i.e. for mails ) and the internet does not work since no data connection available, whereas my friend with the iphone 3g (same operator) in the same place does have it running and fast.

Tks a lot for the support
