[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Been with Tmobile for 7 years, decided to check the evo out when it came out, since sprint offered 100% money back guarantee within 30 days, never again... for one, service in my area for sprint ended up sucking, specially for 3g. My evo was neat though, it was exactly what I wanted Hd2 to be, so I was happy. Only complaint was no amoled screen on it.

Anyways, I kept it for 20 days and decided to return it as I wasn't gonna pay $10 extra a month for data when I barely got 300kbps upload at my house and couldn't even stream Pandora at the gym due to 100kbps download speed there... went to local sprint store where I bought my evo. They told me to drive 30 miles to a service center because they required all of the new evo phones to be checked out by a tech first... drove there, hit rush hour, they tell me that I didn't have to drive there afterall and that the Rep who told me to didn't know what She was talking about. Returned my phone, got my money back, Guy said That hed call sprint and cancel my service, that I was good to go...awesome, not so much...

Get a bill in the mail a month later for first month of service, then one for second. Called financial department, stayed on the phone for an hour, spoke to 3 people. They are telling me that my cancellation didn't happen until July 7th and that I owe them $200! I had a reciept in front of me stating tat my phone was returned June 28th. I kept on telling them that why in the world would I go through all the hustle to return my device, not have any usage on my account since 28th and not cancel the service, knowing that I only had 30 days to do so... they ended up telling me to go back to sprint store and talk to the same rep who cancelled my service and to have him call sprint. Fat chance I was driving there again. Went to my local sprint store, spoke to this nice dude who looked at my reciept and called sprint to fix the issue. Said that he saw the name of that Rep 3 times prior, that he screwed up before.

All is good now, but after all these issues I'm sticking to Tmobile, way better customer service and coverage in my area. I had an issue with my first vibrant. Went back to the store, got a swap in minutes. People there were courteous, And super helpful. Not so much with sprint...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couped:
Ya t-mobile is the best! There no contract plans are a steal. The service is second only to verizon. They have the fastest internet. Internet isn't 30 bucks extra like BS verizon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
I'm from the international forum (although I don't quite have my Galaxy S yet, will this coming week!) but have to check over here and at the Captivate forum since we're rather fragmented forum-wise, but I'm sure that it'll be easy to port things between the phones.

I'm hoping the Galaxy S series sees developer attention as well - it has a disadvantage not being from HTC stock, but with such wide availability and being such a high-end device I'm hoping we'll see plenty. Work on CyanogenMod is very encouraging and suggests it's being taken seriously.

I don't know if we can count on Samsung releasing Gingerbread firmware; it could really go either way (the Galaxy S series will probably still be their flagship when it comes out, but UI changes may be a disincentive). But with developers interested in the platform we'll hopefully not need Samsung's help to keep the phone up to date in the future.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyber3364:
Going to +1 everything everyone else said and I also had evo, nexus one and all the rest, I like the samsung best and hope they learned from the behold mistake. But in my are t mobile sucks and sprint data was alot faster. But gsm and no contracts beat that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreanjhee:
Samsung Support

And plus there's absolutely no way that the Behold II incident could even compare because the Galaxies have been released in Korea, Europe, and all major carriers in the US so Samsung will definitely have plenty of support as well as everyone on the Galaxies can pitch in to dev this phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
They plan to release the Galaxy S in over 110 countries and 125 carriers world wide...In South Korea alone they sold 500,000 phones in 30 days...so DEV support is gonna happen no matter how you look at it...

I'm personally sticking with sprint but going for the Epic 4G....really need the keyboard and the specs beat EVO 2x in most specs....

The EVO was impressive 2 years ago when we learned it was the Super Sonic...nowadays its pretty much just another phone....I mean it even uses a 4 year old processor....

The Galaxy S or Vibrant or whichever name you prefer to call it is more on par with the standards of 2010...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jamio88:
I was just wondering what the point of doing this is? Like is it just so I could use like the Verizon CDMA network or what?

I have the Sprint Rhodium400 and its STOCK radio version is 2.32.00.WU, so I mean according to what I read this is unlocked.

anyway, I was just wondering what if any point doing the Security Unlock has for me?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
the SIM unlock is to use it on US GSM networks such as ATT and TMobile, it doesnt allow it to work on other CDMA networks like Verizon
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jamio88:
Oh ok, thanks for the heads up on that one.

Good looking out (I was wondering about that for the longest time)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mboguc:
If your radio says WU that means that you can use any GSM sim card (not CDMA) on any network w ur phone. Security unlock - HSPL will let you flash your phone with custom roms. You can find more info about HSPL by following thread by OLIPRO. Of course thank him for his work. Have fun flashing.

FYI... Do not flash your phone w CDMA roms.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
This is not true. The stock radio in verizon roms has a wu but all sims are locked minus the stock vodaphone sim. The locked sim does not have to do with the radio on the verizon tp2.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mboguc:
first. he has sprint..

second. verizon doesnt have wu.. unless you flash it w one (stock is always wv)

i do give you credit cuz i did not know that wu may still be locked.

no hard feelings.

peace :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
The Sprint TP2 has no SIM lock in the system, but the radio ROM is lacking support for the US bands. So while the Sprint TP2 will accept any SIM it will not get a SIGNAL in North America unless you pay for the security unlock and apply a patched radio.

The Verizon TP2 HAS a SIM lock in the system, but the radio ROM has full support for the US bands. So if you just want to use a SIM card, then all you need to do is get an unlock code from Verizon.

Both version radios have support for Euro bands.

Default behaviour:

Sprint = Use any SIM you want, but only get a signal in Europe and Japan when in GSM mode.

Verizon = Can't use *any* SIM except Verizon until you unlock, but to unlock you can do it by requesting a free code from Verizon CS.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SiL3nTKiLL:
so u can use ur phone on a different network (phones with sim cards obviously)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Yes. Once unlocked, you can switch the phone to GSM mode and use any GSM SIM card.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jamio88:
I do have Sprint (The Rhodium400).

It has been HSPL Unlocked for about 6 or 7 weeks now, just was curious about the Radio unlocking stuff (as I have never messed around with it).

I have already run the gauntlet of the various Custom ROMs out there. All (well most of) them seemed to be very VERY well built, however none seemed to suit me to quite 100%, so I have been working on my own for about 3 weeks now give or take.

It is a slow going process (mainly due to working so much), but it is very fun and a learning experience none the less. Looking forward to the day it is finished (So that I can start on the next one, lol).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] themachineman:
..also thought I read somewhere in CMONEX thread a recap saying if unlocking sprint radio/SIM you'd be able to use Verizon towers... (will look for post & put hyperlink here soon)

also, from ppc/cmonex sticky:

BIG NOTE: if you have the Sprint branded TP2, then after running this SIM/Sec Unlocker, you'll need to flash a patched sprint radio (in other thread) to finish the process.

... sprint is a Security (CID) unlocker, which needs unlocking first, then a "patched" (unlocked?) sprint radio also...

"Originally Posted by Syriel View Post

By default, the stock Sprint radio only has support for GSM 900/1800 (Euro bands) even though the hardware supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900. When you flash Oli's WU radio to the Sprint TP2 it re-enables support for GSM 850/1900 (NA bands).

The reason that Sprint disabled the (NA bands) is because the Sprint TP2 (unlike the VZW TP2) is SIM unlocked from the factory. The VZW TP2 ships with full band support, but it is SIM locked from the factory.

"

Guess I'd just make it simple: Sprint needs a band enabler - 850/1900 (security unlocker?) & then a radio that works on it... (patched WU)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] slappy76:
So I have Sprint service on my TP2.. if I unlocked it would I be able to receive a call from either network or do I have to manually select one and swap back and forth?

I can understand having a default outgoing radio (choosing CDMA or GSM).. but it'd be more useful to have the ability to take make use of both lines..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
you would have to switch back and forth

and of course have a SIM card from a GSM provider like ATT or T-Mobile
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xxpandatennisxx:
two days ago, i rooted my phone using simple root, nand unclocked and flashed clockwordmod and everything. i was using fresh rom, and i wanted to use the vanilla lockscreen. but in order to do that, i needed to flash amons ra. i tried doing that, and somehow i got rid of my clockword recovery mod (and amons ra didnt work) so whenever i went into recovery mode, it just stayed at the screen with the phone and triange and red exclamation mark. i tried running the recovery windows .bat file, but it didnt work. and i tried running the ruu .exe file to unroot my phone, but everytime it said it couldnt find my device, even though it was connected via a usb chord. i tried it in charge only mode, disk drive mode, and htc sync mode and none of them worked. i tried using rom manager, but everytime i tried doing something it said error attempting to run privilidged scrips or something. i tried downloading the superuser .apk file and installing it onto my phone, but that didnt work either. the terminal emulator didnt work when i tried to flash something, it just said it couldnt find the file on my sd card, even though i put it on there. help?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
I am traveling overseas and trying to use my offline maps bit I cannot seem to get a fix with the Gps while in airplane mode. The icon is on, it says it is searching for satellites but it won't work no matter how long I wait. Any ideas what the problem is?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
It might be stuck in a loop trying to find satellites since it expects the ones over your previous location. Usually the GPS uses your wireless tower signal to get a quick idea of where you are and which satellites to use (unless you turn that off). If it can't do that and you are way far away from your last fix, it may take a very long time to locate you. How long did you wait? Maybe the GPS isn't programmed to use satellites over your current location. It's a US handset, after all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
I've been walking around Stockholm for a day and it hasn't even come close to getting a fix. Is there any way to tell it where I am so it can look for the right satellites? The g in gps stands for global, so I assumed it would j"just work."

Hey all,

Im trying to use Rhodium Keys Remapper in a ROM im making, and for some reason it is not working.

Im thinking its because i have the wrong [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident] Name set.

Can anyone verify what it is for the TMobile TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Do you mean with a stock T-Mo ROM? On my T-Mo (USA) TP2 that reg key says "fireSTORM LEO", but that's because that's the custom ROM I'm running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I don't know if it helps, but the Model ID of the T-Mobile TP2 is RHOD210. You could also try Rhodium since that's how the TP2 is usually addressed in XDA software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] venomshot629:
Thanks everyone, im gonna try out RHOD210, im hoping this is what was preventing the Rhodium Keymapper from working on my ROM!

Take care.

Right now i am at full root w/superuser permissions on 1.17 software

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Choose your flavor here, chocolate or vanilla, odex or deodex.

Or you could choose to install any custom ROM listed here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundwavedj:
you are the man! i havent checked it out yet but THANK YOU!!!!

I did try to search btw but all i came up with is how to root 1.47
[EVO 4G General] Duran:
my evo is rooted on 1.32......and my battery life is ok....and just wondering if it can be little better if it's on 1.47 I usually get a decent amount of battery life and I do carry an extra battery with me. I'm on fresh .3 right now and I usually get decent battery life for one battery for a 1/2 day with some voice calls web surfing and texting.....is it worth going to....I searched and searched for threads but they're from June and now its August so whats the verdict...and its gonna be a pain rooting again but I'd like to know.......at least! please let me know!
[EVO 4G General] UrbanMuppet:
I doubt the OTA will give you much of a boost if you're only getting half a day. I streched my usage to 3 days of light usage.

SetCPU adds a little bit by underclocking the CPU when the screen is off. Juice Defender turns off 3g and allows it to be turned on every x minutes to allow syncing. 3g saves the most battery. As long as you don't use 4g all the time (IMO it's a big waste, good when plugged in)

I get a good 16-18 hours of moderate use on one charge and still have 20-30% battery left.
[EVO 4G General] Rocklee99:
actually id have to say, yes the 1.47 update did help alot, id say ud get 25% + on battery life, but yes SetCPU does help alittle, and what do u mean root AGAIN, just find a rooted stock 1.47 rom or something
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
I noticed a slight difference after the normal 1.47 OTA but an even better difference after rooting / flashing a rooted stock 1.47. Really did notice a more appropriate battery length, especially when in "stand by" whereas before it seemed to drain when not in use more than it should.

Can easily get through a day with medium use, heavy at time with nav etc

Hi all

Just received a touch pro 2 as a replacement for my defunct TD2

My wife also has one of these( she got hers a year ago)

not only is the whole look of the phone different ( particularly the icons of the prog page etc) but my version has a radio on it ( i had to use a cab from here to get hers working)

I am curious if mine has a an updated os or wonderif it is a refurbed model and someone has modded the stock rom

easiest way to describe the difference between the icons is that the older model has icons in square boxes ( like my TD2) whereas the newer model the icons are just images.

the other thing i am desperate to do is to get rid of the mass of programs on the program page ( or at least the short cuts) I know crud scraper is out ther but doesnt help me on my phone ( touch pro 2)

thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Some screenshots would be helpful.

As for the programs on the Start page, just fire up Total Commander and delete or move them as needed. You can't delete the actual programs in ROM they link to, but you can certainly delete the shortcuts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
thanks for that

will get some shots in the daylight ( cam flash messing up)

any links on total commande at all

is it a spb prog

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Here's the version of TC that I have. It's an .exe, so you have to Unzip it to a folder and then run it while connected via Active Sync to install it from the PC.

hi guys

I have attached a screen shot of the program files page if that helps

one final thing is having downloaded total commander how do i use it to delete the program icons ( appreciate i cant delete the actula progs)

sorry i know i am being a bit thick but could do with some help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Navigate to the Start Menu folder in the \Windows folder. From there you can go into the various subfolders (Programs, Tools, etc.) and delete the .lnk file for the program you no longer want to appear in the menu. Or you can Move them to different folders in the Start Menu. For instance, I like to have anything having to do with phone setup in the Tools Folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
thanks for that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
What model did you buy versus what you wife has? Is it carrier branded (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc.) or unlocked Euro version?

Carriers heavily customize the interface for their own branded versions, so that may account for the difference you are seeing on the Start page. Hiding the FM Radio was also one of the carrier differences.

When you boot your phone, the red numbers that are displayed on the boot screen, what do they say? This may indicate if the phone was flashed with a custom ROM.

Also, a lot more info is needed for us to help you. Where did you buy the new phone? From the carrier or other source (eBay, Craigslist, etc.). You are saying you are afraid its a refurb. If you bought it from a carrier, they are not going to send you a refurb with a custom ROM. First thing they do when they get a phone for warranty repair is check to see if the ROM has been tampered with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
Thanks guys for all your help

I have realised that all it is is that the phone is running wm6.5 which is totally different

( boy do I feel a fool)

I have also managed to sort out the excessive clutter on the programs start page thanks to the advice of Miami_son
[General Questions and Answers] JVogler:
Wondering if anyone else has this issue?:

The data usuage over Wifi and GPRS is way off and incorrect. It show about 1/4 to 1/3 of the actual data downloaded. I discovered this after a $300 bill...the only was it shows correct usuage is using 'Internet Sharing' with my laptop - the 'usb' usage is correct. If I download a 28 MB podcast for example over Wifi or 3G connection it will generally end up showing I only used 7MB. If i transfer the same file over usb it shows 28 MB.

Any ideas guys? I've spent weeks searching this site, Spb, Google with never seeing a solve for this issue....so if I missed something it's not due to a lack of searching before posting for sure!!!

There is a separate spot in the same menu for the speaker, it's like the 3rd one down, click that instead of handset and you can set the same settings.
