This hero is the Telus Canadian version and if you read the descrip it says CDMA but everything else says GSM, so which is it? I want to use it on ATT

Since this is the telus canadian version would I be able to use it with ATT 3G on cheap 10/month medianet plan?

Hoping to get this phone soon with your guys help, thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
That looks like a gsm hero. Looks just like mine which i use on at&t. Except since that one is telus, it is compatible with at&t 3g network. I have a malaysian hero so i can only use edge.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheChemist187:
Do you have a internet plan? If so which one

Does att force you to have a pda plan?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
I dont have a internet plan, too broke =(. at&t doesnt force me to get one because they dont know what phone i have. heros are not at&t branded so they dont have my imei number. if you have at&t branded phones like iphones they will force the data plan on you. but for our case we can decide for ourselves whether to have a data plan or not
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
1.yes you need to unroot to recieve otas

2.there is an app incthe market called wifi tether that is free.

3.look in the theme/app sectiom. there is a skinned version there.

4. adb in recovery os the only way to remove crapware

7-8 . there are not many apps for root users lile there was with cydia.

also, there are many widets avaliable in the android market. there is lots of good apps in the market. explore.

if you have any other questions feel free to pm me amy time.
[Droid Incredible General] rpearl:
No, if you are running the stock rom ou will recieve OTAs. The OTA doesn't magically detect "this phone is rooted."
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
doesnt somethong change the ctacerts and otacerts?
[Droid Incredible General] samwathegreat:
No. it's also not suggested and is reported to have negative side effects.
[Droid Incredible General] palomosan:
One important thing, Install Rom Manager from the market.

With this app you can do a backup of the Rom (stock sense and rooted) you're running now and install others to try, if you don't like them just restore the one you had before and done, you can as many back up as you want.

Also check in the theme section and you'll find lots of themes to make your phone look and work beautiful, this also allows you to get to recovery without having to turnoff your phone and install anything you want from the sd card.

Also, if you don't like some of the crap ware that Sense has, there's a post for removing the apps you don't want on Sense and it tell you which ones are safe to remove.

ok i have an outlook email account but its not part of activesync. I can of course get my email on the phone but on one of my older phones the mogul I could set up my outlook on it and i used it to receive vcf files, and my calendar, appts, and reminders.

is their any app or way to get it like that on my evo?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
does moxier mail read vcf files? and can it pull in contacts? also isnt it 30$
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FractalSphere:
The HTC Sync software actually works really well for me. I have Outlook 2003, and between it, and my google calendar, and work calendar, it all shows up fine on the Evo.

HTC Sync will take some tweaking, though. Your contacts (google in my case) will appear doubled - you'll have 'phone' and 'google' contacts - just link them and they'll sync either way - up to google or down to your outlook. The phone will act as the bridge between them.

I was thinking about installing SetCPU but I have heard stories of it not working very well on the Captivate. Does anyone use this, and if so what kind of battery life improvement are you seeing? Post config settings too please!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kenjindomini:
Its working just fine. I have a live background so my battery usage isnt very great so long as the screen is on. I had some trouble with the system being slow to respond every time I turned the screen back on when I had "screen off" profile set to max 200 and min 100. then it dawned on me that it would always just underclock to 100 I set it to max 200 and min 200 when the screen is off and also started using launcher pro and it is no longer sluggish at all.

This has saved me a gratuitous amount of battery life when the phone is idle.

Default profile

Max 1Ghz

Min 800Mhz

[Captivate Themes and Apps] NOSintake:
Thanks for these, I was looking for a some decent settings. Mine were close to that to start, but I had no idea what I was doing, haha
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Unhelpful:
I had some stability problems with it that I am now fairly certain are related to adjusting the polling frequency in advanced settings. After disabling setting advanced settings on boot, and a reboot, it has not caused the phone to hang once. I am also fairly sure that the phone boots with the conservative governor enabled and min/max frequencies set to 100MHz and 1GHz, even without SetCPU - so the main benefit here is profiles to force lower clocks with screen off, or during overheat or low battery.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caelestis2:
CPU throttles itself. Any effects of setCPU is placebo effect
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
Err if you set the clocks yourself, you can produce a difference depending on what it's catered towards. I'm sure if I set the max clock to 200 (assuming the app works) for all situations there will be a difference.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pmpntl:
Does the stock ROM have a perflock like the EVO that we need to disable?

Also, does the stock ROM automatically underclock at times, or???
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Unhelpful:
I've now verified after clearing user data, the stock firmware already sets the conservative governor and allows it the full range of frequencies supported by the CPU. Only benefit from SetCPU should be profiles - reduce max clock when hot or low battery, that sort of thing.

I was going to make a screen off profile of 200mhz, to save battery. Should I bother doing this?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm just going to uninstall it. It's locked up my phone twice already :P
[Captivate Themes and Apps] diablo009:
Default Profile: 800 MHz

Profiles:

Temp > 46 C -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative

Battery < 40 -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative

Screen Off -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative

This now gives my phone life of about 2 days with moderate use (1 hour calls, 1 hour browsing and another 30-45 mins of using apps that need screen on like games, etc)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] diablo009:
One thing u got to keep in mind, CPU scales up when woken from low speeds (like when u set for 200 n this takes a second or two). After some R&D i realized 400 MHz when sleeping is optimal with hardly noticeable lag.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] diablo009:
well, i have tried playing heavy games like asphalt 5, dungeon hunter, assasin's creed... these all games seemed to work with no lag even at 400 MHz when my battery was less than 40. Most apps I have or used or saw were very comfortable even at 400 MHz. But with multiple apps open, sometimes there was lag, so i set the max at 800 MHz, instead of 1 GHz.

Also, I set my connection to EDGE from 3G. This helped reduce phone from getting heated up with long calls.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Silencer_007:
I tried using this app myself but uninstalled it after a week. While I'm sure there was some underlying cause, it made my phone never wake up from sleep mode when it turned off.

Honestly thou, I know several android phone owners with s lot of phones That didn't see any real change in their battery life as s result. And based on my experiences, I'd say stay away from it.

Just my 2 cents thou

same thing here. it sounds like alvin and the chipmunks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raary101:
I'm not entirely sure but I think this is because of the same reason which makes the clock go faster than it should be.

This is because android is set to turbo mode, so that it runs faster and smoother for you guys, but i'm sure the devs will have something sorted out soon so that its at normal speed.

sorry if i'm wrong, but i think that's what the problem is :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RuffRap:
WHEN this is the problem than guys who have this should read the right posts. You have to try the different Zimages,or in best way the latest. There are no problems anymore with pichtin tracks or turbo mode.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jack E:
I also appear to get this problem, could this be due to a change in hardware in recent models (i got a replacement HD2 in June).

i was just wondering if after i root i can still have the phone look as if it had sense ui... I assume that's what the Stock ROM does but I'd like to make sure.

Also is there a froyo theme that looks like the sense ui?

Thanks for the help in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
Gaining root doesn't change the version of android you have running, it just gives you root access. For example, I have root access on my Evo, so I can use screenshot or wireless tether apps, but I'm still running the Sense UI that came with the phone.

To lose Sense UI, you would have to flash a new ROM onto the phone.

Hi everyone,

Maybe someone else had experience the same symptoms, and may direct me to the proper place to solve the issue...

every so often TMO HD2 will "forget" any settings, including my e-mail settings... sometime will even "forget" my address book entries...

so usually when tmo hd2 will forget the e-mail settings, next morning it will also forget all of the address book entries - the cell phone will look just like "pristine", never used device.

I've tried to update the ROM, but have not really found the one i like. I'm not 100% sure whenever the same issue will persist with another ROM.

Any ideas anyone?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Specs

CPU/GPU: Tie Both the A4 and the Hummingbird perform pretty much equally considering they are almost the same thing. Assuming Apple underclocked the iPhone, the Captivate gets a slight advantage.

RAM: Tie They both have 512mb of RAM (although it can't all be used until we get Froyo)

Storage Space: Captivate They both have 16gb onboard, but the Captivate is expandable

Design: iPhone Antenna issues aside iPhones design is way better.

Screen: tie If you like 3.5" screens then the iPhone is the best by far. But I prefer the larger but lower res screen on the Captivate.

Camera(s): iPhone Even though they both have 5mp cameras, the iPhone took much better shots. Combine that with the fact that the iPhone has a front facing camera and a LED flash and the iPhone wins by a longshot.

Signal: Captivate The iPhone has much better signal as long as you are holding it right. But the Captivate wins because you don't have that restriction. If your iPhone will live in a case then it is a non-issue.

Software: This is more tricky and it comes down to what you prefer. If you want a really customized experience and enjoy tinkering with the OS, then Android is for you. If you want something that works amazingly at what is does (but can not gain added functionality short of what Apple allows) the go with iOS.

Conclusion: These phones are so evenly spec-ed that it ends up coming down to preference. iOS vs. Android.
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
I hate these posts because it's just gonna start a flame-war with no positive outcome. To each is own........
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I did not mean to start a flame war I just meant to compare because there were far to many people asking which to get. Besides this is XDA its mostly people who already have the captivate.
[Captivate General] Neckrobeard:
keep on trollin
[Captivate General] :
Agreed.

I would love to have either one of these phones right now, but I still prefer the captivate.

In the end it all comes down to personal choice.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Actually the hummingbird has a better GPU than the Apple A4. Here's a good comparison of all the specs: http://briefmobile.com/apple-iphone-4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s
[Captivate General] AJerman:
One random report GUESSES that it's 700 MHz. It's the same CPU. The Galaxy S doesn't run at 1 GHz the whole time either. They both scale. The iPhone COULD have a top limit lower than 1 GHz, but only Apple knows that. Plus that report said "No CDMA support" for WCDMA 1900 MHz, so obviously they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

RAM all the way around goes to iPhone. Being that they can actually use all their RAM now. Also, Berserk87, "true multitasking" would, if anything, mean worse memory usage. If you want to have a comparison of the multitasking, then you could compare the two, but overall memory usage goes to the iPhone for sure.

Also, I don't know how the Captivate could possibly WIN a signal comparison. The iPhone gets better signal, but has an issue (that's easily avoidable). At best it's a tie, but since the iPhone has HSUPA, I'm giving it to the iPhone again. Close enough to throw in signal I think. We won't even go into GPS signal.

Also, don't forget to mention battery life. I know it's still only a week out and I know I'm still playing with mine a lot, but the Captivate battery life has been terrible for me so far.

Now, I've had an iPhone 3G for 2 years, and had the iPhone 4 for a month. I'm not planning on running back anytime soon, but Android is definitely FAR buggier than iOS and definitely still needs some work and polish. The Captivate is certainly not turning into one of the best Android phones either, but hopefully an update will come out soon that will fix all of this. I still prefer my Captivate, but damn if it doesn't annoy the hell out of me sometimes.

Right now I'd suggest the iPhone to anyone who isn't techy or into this kind of thing. For those of us who can look past a few annoyances, Android is FINALLY on AT&T.

If this topic is going to be here, try keep the discussion here rather than other threads. PLEASE try to keep it mature though. Obviously 95% of the people in the Captivate section have a Captivate, so the large majority probably like it more, no need to explain to us how much you hate Apple, just try to compare the two objectively, because to be 100% honest, I think the iPhone 4 is the better phone at the moment, until we get an update to fix some things, and of course 2.2. Once the Captivate has matured and has 2.2 I think it'll be amazing.
[Captivate General] johnyhoffman:
Everyone can argue how honest or objective they are being and it is still going to be biased. This should just be closed or deleted.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Why? People can discuss the Captivate vs the Nexus, people can discuss the Captivate vs the Evo, but Captivate vs iPhone means people turn into immature morons. If everyone here has a Captivate, then everything is going to be biased towards the Captivate, otherwise they wouldn't have one. All they have to do is be mature about it and discuss the actual differences. Like I said, I even think the iPhone 4 is the better device at the moment, but I prefer the Captivate. Just because you have an Android phone doesn't mean you have to talk **** about Apple all day.
[Captivate General] Sounds Good:
Yeah, I agree too. I'm trying to decide which of these 2 phones to get right now. I could probably flip a coin and be happy either way.

But, after a lot of thought, I think I might be happier with the iPhone. I have an iPhone now so I'm already comfortable with the OS. I like how intuitive everything seems (to me, anyway). Plus picture quality is important to me, and there's slightly better pics coming from the iPhone (plus it has a flash, which doesn't hurt).

AJerman, just for my own peace of mind, could you tell us what things need to be fixed? Thanks!
[Captivate General] accinfo:
I am quite offended by the CPU/GPU processor comparison.

When Captivate is compared to other cellphones in the market, it is AT LEAST 3 times the speed of other processors. I do realize that iPhone4 is using a new processor, but guess what? No one has the spec for it yet, it's not a tie, it's unknown.

Edit1:

Added picture.
[Captivate General] big99gt:
My Captivate lags on Robo Defense but....after seeing how buggy and laggy my Nexus was before Froyo......I'm definitely gonna stick it out and wait for fixes and roms to come along. We have top of the line world class hardware, and Froyo and a few tweaked roms will set everything right just like it did on the Nexus.
[Captivate General] Sounds Good:
How long should it take before we see these updates?
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Mainly the GPS, that's the big thing. There is also the random lag that people are seeing. LauncherPro helps some, certainly doesn't help all. HSUPA needs to be enabled (assuming the hardware can handle it), and there are random bugs here and there that seem to pop up randomly, but most I don't make note of exactly where. For one, if I go into Market and do Menu->Downloads to see updates, I usually have to press back at least once to get it to load up. Otherwise it sits on loading forever. Also, I've noticed it mainly in my weather apps, but apps that pull data on load seem to take FAR too much time to get their data, and I have no idea why. TWC, WeatherBug, AccuWeather, all of them sit on "Loading data" for 30 seconds and sometimes a lot more when that kind of thing should be almost instant. In fact, I frequently get a message saying the app stopped responding and to force close or wait, right about the time the data loads. Oh, and of course, 2.2 to access the rest of our RAM.

It's not that it would be hard to roll out 2.2 and have almost all of these fixed, it's just that we have to wait and hope that they DO fix them.
[Captivate General] Sounds Good:
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
