[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
why don't you find out ?

it's easy, just remove the battery, and plug in the power cord

try to turn on the phone

and the result is....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ostendk:
All Nokia phones ive had could power of without the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
What?! Nobody tried this?

It took me 1 min to try this on USB connction and power plug and it did NOT power up, so the battery needs to be inserted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkyy:
My Nexus One could do that.

I didn't try with my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
my old HTC Athena will not work properly without battery using stock ROM

but if flashed with a custom ROM, then it can work without the battery.

I hope we can do the same with SGS

because using stock ROM is no go
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
This is a weird thread.

Why just don't try it yourself? As someone already pointed out, and I will include myself here, the answer is NO.

On a side note, my old HTC Hero could power up with no battery but I cannot see any use for that, unless you are hot swapping batteries and don't want to restart your device?
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
I've been trying to search for a solution to this, and haven't found anything yet on this topic. I keep seeing SIP and programs that require you to connect to a VoIP server, but I am not sure if this will accomplish the same goal. Basically I like how the Blackberry UMA technology connects via WiFi from overseas, and lets you make calls back to the US using your regular plan minutes with no long distance charges. Is there any way to do the same thing on the HD2 (US version)? I know the antenna's are not the same technology.

There is also an option for internet calling when you go to Settings Tab>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Phone>Internet. It reads:

Internet Calling

To set the calling network for your next call, select Internet Calling on the Home Screen.

Does this even do anything?
[HD2 General] timallen82:
I too would be very interested in something like this as my reception at my home - inside or out - is very weak.

I have tried several different radios as well, but I'm not having any luck.
[HD2 General] vailrider:
Ditto.. I could totally use this feature. Does anyone know if you must have hardware that supports it or is it just software that runs on the phone ?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
As far as I know both the hardware and software must support UMA in order for it to work. For instance, I could use UMA calling on my Shadow 2009, but could'nt on my Shadow 2007, even though they ran the same build of WinMo. From what I understand UMA has to be built into the WiFi chip in order for it to work.
[HD2 General] knotrkr:
I have truphone, witch works great, but only for outgoing calls. I need something that works through wifi that I can get incoming calls as well as outgoing. This is the one and only thing that makes me miss my blackberry. If I wasn't merely 9 months into my 2 year contract I could afford the mytouch 4g or the G2 and enjoy uma, but I don't have 500 plus dollars for yet another new phone. Trust me I'd love a new Mytouch 4G but it's at least another year until I can get one. I know this is off topic but does anyone have any hands on knowledge about the signal boosters they sell online? what ones work? cuz I get like 1 bar in my house and it comes and goes but soon as i'm 3 doors up I have 5 bars and 3g. So I definitely need something.
[HD2 General] DemonLoader:
I was searching for just the same thing and came across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=380803

post 23 explains it, so now all thats needed is adaptation, but I'm not a programer.

Here are the files I did download, but I haven't tested them, nor would know how to "make" them work.

Hope someone can make this work, I get 0 service at home, cause I live in a rural area, but work in a metro.
[HD2 General] johnny13oi:
But how does that explain the Wi-fi calling feature that is added through custom rom flashes for the Samsung Vibrant and the Nexus One? Both those devices never had UMA from the beginning but was added through custom flashes later on.
[HD2 General] vailrider:
Yeah, Damenloader is right. How come there's a rom that gives the Vibrant and the Nexus UMA wifi calling ? Anybody ? I'd REALLY like to get UMA on my HD2.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
Are you guys sure you're not confusing Wi-Fi calling for UMA? These are two different technologies. Wi-Fi calling is simply using a messenger program or SIP server to make calls using Wi-Fi. It's free to other Wi-Fi users or charged to account credits for phone numbers (Fringo, Skype, Nimbuzz, Google Voice). SIP servers work the same way (SIP Gate, etc.), you have to have an account with credit to make Wi-Fi calls to phone numbers.

Both of these Wi-Fi calling options require you to purchase calling credit to make calls to telephone numbers.

The idea behind UMA is that you do not have to purchase credit through a third party, but instead you use the minutes on your T-Mobile plan. For example, if you make a Wi-Fi call with a Blackberry (UMA-enabled phone), you would be connected through T-Mobile's servers (not 3rd party, ie: Skype), and they would simply deduct the minutes from your monthly plan. It would work the same with UMA as it would with a regular phone call through wireless service, free t-motbile to t-mobile, nights and weekends, etc.

I have searched this information thoroughly and have only come to conclude that UMA capability has to be built into the phone, via a chip or other. So far I have not seen anything about UMA being accessible through a program install or software mod.

If you simply want Wi-Fi calling it is possible with the HD2, as I have already done it with Skype and SIP Gate. It will be free if the person you are calling also has Skype, Nimbuzz, Fringo, etc. If you don't mind paying 2-10 cents/minute, then you can purchase the credit and make Wi-Fi calls to telephone numbers as well.

Hope this answers your question.
[HD2 General] DemonLoader:
cu2cool, I believe you may have it a little wrong on the part of UMA. Like in the link I posted before, UMA isn't hardware or chip dependent, though phones like Blackberrys have a dedicated chip for the purpose. UMA is software dependent, and most likely radio dependent. My proof is in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807116 taken from a Nexus1 thread, which phone didn't have UMA support before some crafty guys worked it out. Don't get me wrong I'm no expert on the subject, just from reading around, I'm fairly certain its "possible" and all it should take is a crafty person with the know-how to make it work.

Edit: Just found this (actually had it opened for weeks and forgot I had it) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843433&page=6 a dev page for WIP on UMA-HD2_TMo-Android.
[HD2 General] knotrkr:
I finally just forked over the cash for a Mytouch 4G, and it was money well spent even if just for the wifi calling alone.

[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Everyone is experiencing that :p don't worry
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattwood2000:
here ya go...what app are you using to browse CIFS shares? I haven't tested this module, but just compiled it now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yokem55:
Forgive me as I haven't actually tried this, but here is the 10,000 foot view:

At a minimum, you will need a linux system, with a gcc-arm cross compiler set up. I believe the android-sdk provides one. The version used by current kernels is gcc-4.4.4.

Then you will need the sources of the kernel you are running. The hydra kernel git tree is here: http://github.com/ejhart/Hydra-kernels.git , and the stock kernel sources are here: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec_cc1c2268.tar.bz2

The hydra git tree doesn't seem to have a a working .config included, but this isn't so important if you are only building and installing kernel modules. From there, you'll need to configure the kernel in cross compiler mode, add the modules you want, and you will need to make sure the version magic string is identical to the kernel you are using. From there run make, and once the compile is finished, find the .ko 's you want, and push them to the /system/modules folder where you can insmod them.

Edit: You can use the .config from /proc/config.gz, didn't see it in there before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] veli69:
I got one from another user but thanks do you still want me to try it? I mounted my share in a directory on the SDCARD so i can browse it with any file manager. I think any app that scans the sd card will also scan my server with about 8TB so that is a minor issue.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Note that the post you quote was from before the 2.2 OTA, and hence that cifs.ko would be incompatible with the current kernel.

I have recently been changing my cons, both with BetterCut and Folder Organizer.

However, the stock message icon refuses to change over with either option. Every time I try to change the icon, it will appear on the screen for maybe 2 seconds and then it will disappear and the old stock icon will appear in its place.

And to compound my confusion, if I switch over to LauncherPro, the icon switches fine. It is only when running Sense as my home launcher that this happens. tried a re-boot to no avail.

Any ideas?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsteele:
I don't have a screen capture on the phone yet so I can't post a picture.

A large dialog box titled "Connections" Says "Connecting to Connection 1" with large buttons "Cancel" "Hide". This dialog is physically the same size as the one you see if you click on the phone line status icon and pops up any time a program attempts to access a data connection and the connection is not currently active. I have an unlimited data plan (T-Mobile) and its just very annoying and I'd prefer that it just connected when it needed.

Hi ho,

I have a problem with this game and I am aware that other users face the same problem, which is that the game does not load. I had tried all methods of installing it, wether it's installing normally letting the APK download the content files automatically from the Gameloft server or manually placing the data files onto the SD card, but either way there is a problem. I tried one version which successfuly installed all data files but when launching it is simply doesn't want to start up, in other cases the downloading just hangs at 80-90%.

I saw youtube videos, which showed that the desire was cable of running, it but I'm not sure how, maybe it was running Froyo or simply theres a way to hack your through it.

I ask anyone in the same situation if they have solved the problem, so far I am able to play Fifa 10 (EA), Asphalt 5, Real Football 2010, NFS: Shift, flawlessly.

Thanks.

[HD2 General] zinko_pt:
Hi all,

Using Windows7 x86 Ultimate and I am trying to connect HD2 (factory ROM) to a PC.

I´ve already solved de missing BT driver (used Microsoft Corporation Mobile Device Driver).

But Windows Sideshow does not connect.

I got Sync and file transfer working. It seems “well paired”

Even previously I had it working with Qtek S200 and Vista.

But now it all sucks big time.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
You need to enable SideShow using the local group policy editor, gpedit.msc
[HD2 General] zinko_pt:
Thanks for the tip.

I followed this how-to

But it was already ok

Even, the icon is not present at the control panel of W7. I had to search and then copy a shortcut.

I believe there is something wrong with the drivers used by W7.

Any other clues?
[HD2 General] zinko_pt:
Is it a Windows Sideshow problem?

Did W7 stop supporting Sideshow?
[HD2 General] RamNA:
I gather from the developer preview page on the Microsoft site that this will only work on Windows 7 if initially paired with a machine running Windows Vista!

Also, the Sideshow control panel applet is only visible if a sieshow gadget has been installed. However one can open the applet by searching for "Sideshow" in the Help and Supprt, and navigating one of the resulting links.
[HD2 General] zinko_pt:
Thanks!

Nevertheless, pairing 1st with a Vista machine is not an option.

I had found the WSS applet in Windows7, but the problem remains.

Too bad, it was such a great way to control a HTPC with windows7...

All this talk of accidental bricking reminds me of my i910 days where if you bricked your phone, all you had to do was hook it up using JTAG and you could reflash whatever you wanted (you do need to know where to get the parts/tools though).

I'm fairly sure that the snapdragon platform on this phone, like almost every other embedded system ever made, has JTAG ports for debugging and the like. Has anyone made any progress towards finding them and using them? Or is it as heavily protected as the rest of the phone's security model? Any info would be great!
