[EVO 4G Accessories] Jim M:
I'll throw a monkey wrench into the statements above. You can deplete the battery while you are plugged in, depends on the charger, if plugged in to a USB port (USB 2.0 standard is only 100mA) the EVO only gets a trickle charge same can happen with a car cigarette lighter, it will depend on the output of the charger. A cheapy charger is likely to put out only a small output. As others have mentioned a 1000mA charger will keep you running, where as a cheap adapter may only put out a 100 to 200 mA. You get what you pay for.

I got one of these Motorola OEM's, and it works perfectly.... Less than $10 shipped for a name brand!

Oh yeah, it's rated at 950mA
[EVO 4G Accessories] archeroso:
it's possible the phone could have overheated and shut itself down. It gets pretty warm when charging the battery. Let alone using the GPS, and bluetooth, and whatever other applications you had running.

I put mine up on the dash to use as a GPS with turn-by-turn navigation and stream pandora over 3G. When calls come in, the music stops, and then after the call is disconnected, the music resumes. I notice on warm days, I need to use the defroster on cold to keep the phone from overheating up there.

Your phone LED will flash orange if it is overheating.

Hello!

I try to debrand my HTC Desire and can't success the RUU Update. He is always waiting for the Bootloader (counts to 100) and then he tolds me, that he lost the USB Connection. Google tolds me, that there are problems with Windows 7 64-bit. Does someone know a workaround? Is VMWare Player with an XP Home Image a solution for this?

Thanks for help.

Is it possible to connect my sprint TP2 on virgin mobile and have everything working.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mboguc:
I have just visited virgin mobile website and it says there that they are using National Sprint Network.

http://www.virginmobileusa.com/mobile-broadband

I am not sure if that applies to pda's (web has aircard and mifi pics) but call them and ask if you can activate your phone w data. Keep in mind that it is a CDMA network too so i wont be able to tell you how to setup your phone for internet + not sure if they can activate TP2 ESN in their system.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:
no i try it almost everyday....with different customers representatives.....they just dont accept =(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mboguc:
yea just like i thought. they have different billing than Sprint so i think only one pda they can activate is blackberry since its not really using FULL HTML browsing (maybe when they get update to bb 6.0 software)

Sorry bro.

Cant do it

Peace
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
There are only two ways to do this:

1) Have a contact in marketing or engineering that can authorize an ESN to be added to the system.

2) Have a working VM phone setup and clone the ESN.

The former is out of reach for most people and the latter is arguably illegal. So unless you're incredibly skilled (and a risk taker), I wouldn't count on it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heega1:
After installing Radio 2.05.00.06.11 (dinc_ota.zip), my handset speaker audio disappears. Speakerphone and bluetooth work fine, but no luck with the internal speaker.

Heres the kicker:

Once I restore the 1.0 Radio, the internal speaker starts working again.

After lots of searching, this seems to be a very intermittent problem. I've only found two other people experiencing the same issue. Unfortunately I have not found a solution.

Does anybody have any idea as to what my next step should be to try and solve this?

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowmite:
not exactly. but, this radio isnt a image, its a patch. and a double patch is not the same thing... there is no error checking. dont do it!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heega1:
I've tried re-installing the update 3 times from three sources. At first I thought it was the Froyo update so I went back to my nand backup and that didn't help, but once I downgraded the baseband it magically started working again.

So I tried it again. Re-downloading all the tools and packages. Only for it to happen again right after the Radio update. So I reverted back, cleared everything to factory, did a fresh install, then did the upgrade once more.... Still same problem.

Since it is such an intermittent issue, I'm thinking that maybe the hardware is to blame. The particular handset that I have is a warranty replacement from Verizon (blown speakers on first one). Maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyone have any other theories?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heega1:
So I'm stumped. It's a pretty straightforward process, and I can't see where I'm going wrong.

Next Step: Warranty Replacement. We'll see if that helps. I'll be sure to record the serial number and other details of the phone before I send it back. Maybe we can find a pattern.

It will be a couple days before the new phone arrives. If you have something I can try, please suggest away!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattke8927:
I am having the exact same problem. I have tried both 2.x radios and both have the same effect. I want to use froyo but the only way to is to use speakerphone or a plugged in headset. I tried to take it in yesterday but the tech at verizonwireless told me to wait it out until 2.2 comes out to see if that fixes my problems. ( went in stock told them I was having the problem on stock radio) final problem being is when official does come out and it kills my headset speaker is it going to be too late to root my phone knowing the replacement I get will already be loaded with the new software.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Chicken and Egg

Unfortunately, unrEVOked has not developed a S-ON patch. This means that you will either have to take stock 2.2 which will be unrootable -or- you will patch forever, have S-OFF, get stock 2.2 and not be able to return the phone if the problem doesn't clear up.

Please keep that in mind when making your decision.

Not sure what the problem was, but it confirms my method for installing 2.2 wasn't flawed..

Seriously, why don't you just try it? You're not flashing anything. You won't lose any of your current information. I was enjoying the hacked versions of WinMo on my HD2, but now with Android I don't feel I need to ever go back.

Let's be nice. Android is pretty limitless many things can be added. Winmo is sorta outdated. Right now winmo has a lot of community support but that's just not enough. Try it . Dont expect anything and see what you get.

Funny one :D

topic: some things are better with android, some arent. I think the interesting fact is to chose the operating system YOU want to use.

You can compare it with the operating system situation on your PC. Some people want to use Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, MacOSX,.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] audscott:
I think it's a perfectly legitimate question: Not everyone has the love of digital adventures, tweaking or driving someone with more knowledge up the wall we do.

Why not just say what you like about Android? Unless you're not sure....well?

I enjoy reconfiguring my phone. I must have flashed custom WinMo ROM's a hundred times and radios tens of times. Configuring script to put my applications back the way they were, testing the build for smooth operation, stability and features had been a thrill of mine...my hobby, I guess you'd say, since the HD stemming from late 2008.

Android just kind of picks up where Winmo left off. I'm using Elegancia ROM and have been for months. It works great with the Android offerings.

Is Android better? If that's your question, then in my opinion, WinMo is better than Android on the HD2 as of this writing, by Android on this device is catching up incredibly fast.

Maybe you'll like it, maybe not. If your interested enough to chance getting flamed, then you are most likely a candidate to give it a go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voiceofid:
3 simple reasons

1. faster internet browsing

-android have simply a faster browsing experience for me, faster than opera on wm anyday

2. market

-the abundance of customization and application in the android market vs the wm store is like comparing a walmart to a gas convience store for choice of app and avaibility of apps

3. utility

-android simply utilize our screen and hardware much more efficently than windows. try the foursquare app on windows, and then try the foursquare app on android, it's like comparing a dirt road to a 5 lane highway in terms of usability and speed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thatruth132:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
LMAO :D

To the OP: Exactly what everyone else said (apart from infiniteecho)

Try it and see. Nothing to lose except maybe half an hour of your time.

As said above its 'hoarses for coarses'. I wasnt expecting much from Android because Minmo did everything I needed +more, plus it looked ok visually IMHO using CHT etc.

But android just feels slicker somehow...plus I'm not yet missing any of the features that I thought I really loved in winmo. Just the fact of having a good Market is a BIG plus for some people (myself now included although I always thought I'd never care for thousands of mainly pointless apps :rolleyes: :D )....Android is generally a LOT more finger friendly than any 6.5.x build..... the list goes on.

Personally I am becoming a convert FAST. I will almost deffinately switch soley to Android when a proper android rom is released.

Dual booting is great and its always nice to have the option of two O/S's, but I find myself wanting to see Winmo less and less everytime I wake my new Android phone from its beuty sleep :D I just dont love Winmo like I used too lol.

But the only way you will ever really know is if you try it for yourself ;) go on you (probably) wont be dissapointed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
WinMo stock = sack of **** on the HD2, you have to hack and slash away until you eventually get something that works. Then, and only then can you continue to play around with it.

Android, out of the box it works, and your free to play around with it and make it your own. If it wasn't for Android my HD2 would have be sold.

The touch screen and general Windows Mobile performance just pissed me off, you could triple the power of the HD2 and you still wouldn't get a smooth, slick experience.

i like android because of the limitless apps, you'll never need for anything again for a phone. the market was the main reason for me because most apps are free, now google maps include free navigation! windows mobile who? lol plus even with android being ported to our hd2 it out performs windows mobile, less freezes and errors. programmed to work better! internet browsing, smoother and faster. once u learn all the features and how to use widgets u will like wmo less and less. i never seen myself becoming a fan of android when i was solely against it when i had touch pro 2

As you can see from my sig I tried every current popular operating system out there (except webos, I left my iphone 3g off cause of shame lol) and android is by far my fav.Good apps, great comunity, and i can customize how i want. With the HD2 hardware and looks its now my primary phone over my Nexus One.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GbrilliantQ:
I've updated WinMo to it's fullest imo. I could go a day or so without having to reboot or soft reset, before I'd have to three or four times a day. Android running on an class 6 8gb sd card runs better and more stable than WinMo.

I love Androids app market, WinMo pales in comparison to it. I love my HD2 though. Dual booting OS's on such a beautiful phone. /win.

HTC sense: better in WinMo (specially after using cookie ) than Anrdroid

Reasons for going back to winmo:

1 - garmin gps (couldn't get copilot to work on my dark stone android...anyone got other gps navi apps to work besides google?)

2 - Tcpmp (android and xvidx just don't go well together. In winmo, it just work...)

3 - Opera mobile (I love opera and android only have the mini version. Android browser is slower on my device than opera on winmo)

If I can get comparable apps to work, it would be android all the way....2 is the BIG one as I love watching tv show on my hd2...already tried some of the divx player from the market but they didn't compare to tcpmp...
