[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] teerx:
I am new to both tweaking my phone and also new to this forum.

I feel I have to ask this question because I don't want a brick!

I obtained an unlock code from T-Mobile and unlocked my phone that way.

Do I still have to flash Hard-SPL for any reason? Is there something about it that will make flashing a new rom easier or more stable? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
There are various forms of "unlocking" on the phone. The unlock code you get from your carrier is to SIM unlock the phone. This allows you to use the phone with a SIM card from other GMS carriers.

You still need to HardSPL the phone to flash any custom ROMs. SPL locks the phone to only be able to flash official T-Mob branded ROMs. So HardSPL unlocks it so you can flash any ROM. Completely different from the SIM unlock.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] keemosabi:
So I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 with Sprint and I was wondering if it was unlocked. Is there a way to tell? Is there a way to unlock it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
What specific function are you trying to unlock? There is an application unlock in the "themes and apps" subforum for the Rodium. It is on the 2nd or 3rd post of the stickied "software worth installing" thread. This will allow you to run unsigned applications and such. If you mean unlock the sim card, there may be a cab for that... but I haven't looked into it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Yes, you need to clarify. So you mean SIM unlocked?

The Sprint TP2 is unlocked for use with GSM SIM cards overseas, but you need to flash a new radio in order to use a ATT or T-Mobile SIM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] keemosabi:
Thank you everybody for the replies.

Sorry that I was unclear before. What I meant is I would like to run the phone on ATT or T-Mobile after buying the phone from Sprint. There's a sim card in the phone but there must be something else I have to do, right?

Edit: Actually, there isn't a sim card in the phone. I don't think the phone had one when I bought it. Do I need to get one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Umm, yeah. You need a ATT or TMob SIM card in order to get service from those carriers. But it will work on Sprint without a SIM, CDMA uses a different chip, not SIM, which is embedded on the phone's motherboard.

Also, you will need to SIM unlock the phone for it to work on ATT or TMob.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578659

The Sprint version of the phone is unlocked to work abroad with foreign SIMs, but you need to unlock it to work on ATT or TMob.

I'm not speaking from experience here, just reading the info available. Go to the CDMA subforum for Rhodium for (lots) more info.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgarozzo:
Little things just seem to be off. Ex:

1. In quick settings, setting turn themselves on at random times

2. When in an app and I hit the home button I consistantly get the option to use either Tag Home (which i have set as default) or HTC Sense).

3. Stay awake doesn't always work. It seems as though i have to reset it a few times daily.

Anyone else having issues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neodorian:
Not sure about those specific things but unrevoked always caused issues for me whether with later rooting or just certain things not working properly. I no longer recommend unrevoked to anyone.

[HD2 General] happybabyhippo:
I currently have an HD2, I'm loving that Android is working on it now, except for the battery life, I'm so happy with it. I just ran into someone who wants my HD2 and is willing to give me a touchpro 2 and a mytouch 3g straight up. I am tempted, but I would like your opinions. Thanks.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Do you like to watch movies on your HD2?

I wouldn't trade it. I had a Mytouch3g last week for a couple days and it doesn't compare to the hd2 at all, the keyboard isn't great at all. I heard the TP2 with android is slow but it's nice to have a keyboard.

I'm currently running the Energy.Leo.23128.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Aug.10 Rom and have the Energy.Froyostone.HD2.Desire.Android.Aug.8 android folder copied to my SD card. I have a dual boot installed to pick which OS i want from the get go. It's like having a rooted EVO (great keyboard) and a awesome fully loaded Energy Rom powered device in one. I'd like to see EVO users top that. Battery life isn't that bad. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734886
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Even though you're looking for an android device, I wouldn't make that trade, unless you planned to sell both of the other phones to put the money towards another device. The TP2 and MT3G are both getting a little long in the tooth to be worth that trade.
[HD2 General] echardcore:
no no no no and no
[HD2 General] rwholden:
and one more time NO.

the battery situation is getting better with android on HD2, stick with it and i'm sure you'll be happy :)
[HD2 General] happybabyhippo:
That's what I'm thinking too... I was surfing the TP2 forums on Android dev and it seems they went stagnant according to some members. I would still want to be able to toy around with dual booting but at the same time, I think I like the Android OS better, it's just that I'm stuck with my HD2 now and this seemed like a good deal, but thanks for your inputs. I think I'll stick it out a little bit more.
[HD2 General] hegemytouch:
I would keep the hd2...couple of weeks more and android will be rocking on the hd2...it already rocks my socks lol...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darpz:
anyone come up with a way to have different ring tones for different days? would be cool to have ones that during the week are work acceptable, then on the weekends change it up, say since football is around the corner, wouldn't mind the Michigan fight song as my ring tone on Saturdays, but all the time would get old quick (if they suck again this year it will get old even quicker).

I just got my Galaxy Vibrant S (GT-i9000m). I noticed when I create events on Google Calendar on the web, it gets push down onto my phone. However, when I delete that same event on my phone (via the Calendar app), it does not get push up onto the Google Calendar.

Does any of you guys encountered such problems ?

My phone is running stocked ROM from Bell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stan28:
Anyone with such issues ? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carpboy:
Yup

That+.

Not only can I go from phone to Google but I have TONS of stuff in my Google calendars yet my phone shows only from July 12 on. If I go to Google and make an entry for say July 4, it shows up immediately in the phone. Delete it in the phone and nothing happens on the online calendar.

Why is nothing prior to 7/12 showing up?????????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
no problem, my stuffs syncs back and forth properly.

make sure in settings > sync account

My is stuck at scanning and never finishes. I've tried both the Vanilla and Sense Sky Raider ROMS, both have had the same problem. I tried to search the forum and found something similar but it was with Sky Raider 1.9. Anyone heard of this or seen this happening?

I have the 2.x radio installed, ran the Goodies from Koush.

Thank you,

Jesse
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I have skyraider 2.2 and I don't have this problem. did you wipe data and clear cache before installing the ROM? Also, even if it is stuck on scanning, does it display any networks as being available?
[Droid Incredible General] jessescfan:
It has my home network remembered and it will connect with that. I'm at work now and there is a wifi connection here. When i turn on wifi (widget or settings) it goes to scanning and never list any connections. I cleared cache and did a full wipe before installing. I'm gonna format back to stock and reload the whole thing again. I'll let you know.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I would strongly recommend trying elsewhere first before you go thru the hassle of wiping and reinstalling. some companies will not have their SSID broadcasted... there could be some issue with your employer's wifi network..

I would suggest you at least try it some where else like a starbucks or something before you conclude there is a problem with the rom.
[Droid Incredible General] jessescfan:
Starbucks down the street, i'll try it. Thank you!
[Droid Incredible General] jessescfan:
Question: On your incredible, when your wifi is turned on, whats the sequence it goes through, mine says "turning on..." then "Scanning..." it never gets passed scanning.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Usually, its turning on, scannning, obtaining ip address, and connected

-jd
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
When wifi is turned on (or toggled on and off).. I think by default the wifi is in scanning mode. .. which is why when you are get back to your house, it connects automatically. If there are no wifi networks available.. it may seem as being "stuck" in scanning.. but that I believe is a normal status when wifi is turned on.

I don't think it'll do a "scanning".. and then report back saying "no networks found"

People can confirm what I am saying here.
[Droid Incredible General] jessescfan:
Well, this is gonna sound ridiculous.

So at work I was trying to connect to my buddies iPhone (jailbroken, he has wireless tethering) but the iPhone wireless tethering is Ad Hoc. I did a google search and noticed that android doesn't detect adhoc connections (?). I went to lunch and there was a hotel nearby. Turned on wifi and it detected the hotel. I guess I was just impatient.

Sorry about the trouble.

Thank you guys again.

Jesse

Edit: Before posting the original problem I didn't know the iPhone tether was Ad-Hoc. I thought it was a normal "infrastructure" connection. It wasn't until I used "Wifi Buddy" (from the market) that I realized I couldn't connect to Ad-Hoc connections.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
well, I am glad you went about testing it further before wiping your phone :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] RedRamage:
Okay, I'm trying to write a script to send Left, Right, Up or Down to my music player, Pocket Tunes.

I've got the command right to send the keystrokes, but the problem I have is that Pocket Tunes is playing in the background and after I send the command, it moves to the selected app. I want the app to stay in the back ground, or at the very least restore whatever app is currently the focus to being in front.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hmm...Maybe you can get in contact with the developer of Pocket Tunes and ask about PostMessaging their program. If you could use SendMessage or PostMessage with the correct WM_ID (Message ID), and lParam and wParam, then you could accomplish this quite easily. I am not so sure how open the dev. will be to releasing this data. it is worth a shot tho.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
The long way there would be to check the current active window first and save that name. Then run the rest of your script. At the end show the previous window. Problem could be some windows do not have names. Also, this will not stop PT from showing for a moment. I think the send command above would work better, but you need the right values.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Chances are the WM_ID would be WM_COMMAND (For Command Bar, or SoftKeys, etc.) and the code to that is 273 (0x0111) ... However WM_COMMAND requires a specific identified for the lParam i think (or wParam, gosh I can never remember haha) which would be what you need the dev. to tell you.

Best of luck :)

is there a way that the lockscreen for froyo can work on a 2.1 ROM? it might be the same as the regular vanilla lockscreen but the froyo one has some good animations and it makes the current wallpaper in the homescreen as the lockscreen one. so is there a way?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] an.d.d:
What firmware have you got now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] poolcin:
Stock - JF3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sjdean:
That's it? That's their fix is it? A beta firmware called JM1, where quite a lot of people have already updated to JM2 and JM5?

It does not solve a thing. The underlying problems still remain. JMX firmware merely dampens things down and is a bit more intelligent in drawing a path. It doesn't solve GPS stability issues, lock or anything else.

If this is the direction Samsung are going, then I think this sends a signal that the issue is not fixable and this is just a fudge.

Roll on October for a HTC Desire HD.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dis169:
It makes sense that it's a previous leak, the official releases are always going to lag behind the leaks we get.

Presumably they thought JM1 was enough of an update and stable enough for release to justify making it official.
