[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomerobot:
It was just today at a Sprint store literally about 4 hours ago - I asked if I could just leave and do the updates myself later and he told me that they were told they had to do the updates before giving me the phone. Maybe it was BS, but that's my experience.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] officer629:
Just picked up 4 new EVO's today at Radio Shack and they all came with 2.2 outta the box.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
Wow I would have asked for a manager. If you don't want the update you don't have to get it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexithymia:
I got a new one shipped with 2.2 as well. Question: If I take the screen of my new EVO and put it on my rooted evo with a broken screen, will it function as normal? Or are parts of the internals in the screen portion that still wouldnt be rooted?

[HD2 General] me:
Could someone please explain how push e-mail functions on the HD2, WinMo 6.5?

How is it set up?

Will it work with any mail service (for example Gmail Imap)?

How does it differ from having the mail program check for mail every half hour or so?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Email that is delivered directly to the phone, automatically, as they arrive in the users inbox.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
There's a thread at the top of this forum section that details how to set it up with Gmail
[HD2 General] me:
Thanks. I don't recall seeing that thread, but I'll look for it.

Does setting it reduce battery life a lot?

Is it as if the device is frequently going online to check for e-mail?
[HD2 General] me:
Do you mean the thread "Sync with Google"?

It involves installing a Google Sync app to the phone.

I'm not sure if I would want to do that. Probably a great reduction in battery life (as well as taking up memory), for the app to constantly check for new Google items to sync the phone with. (I wish I could figure out how to kill ActiveSync, so that it would only come on when I use it. I end it in TaskManager, and it starts right up again! Still worse if there were two such sync apps, constantly checking and syncing.

As far as it being Push, is it really? Would the Gmail server really know, every time one gets an e-mail, to send it to your phone?

Or, is it that Google Sync app, always running in the background, frequently checking online, to see whether a new piece of mail has comin in?
[HD2 General] Vectre:
With Google sync you don't actually install an app. You basically set up your gmail account to act as an exchange server.

I have this set up on my phone now and get my emails almost as fast as if I has a BB..

Using this saves battery life compared to telling your phone to check since it doesn't actually have to keep checking on a schedule, it gets notified if you get an email and it is 'pushed' to the phone.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
Hey Vectre, how do you justify Push E-Mail enabled saves more energy when it requires constant data connection VS connecting every hour, 4 hours, etc? In my experience, my battery drained faster with push on.
[HD2 General] Vectre:
Personal experience actually. Maybe I just had the schedule check for email too liberally but it does seem to last longer. Best guess is that while the data connection is on it is not actually transmitting or receiving anything.

I will grant you it could simply be subjective, but it is my experience.
[HD2 General] me:
What if one has more than one GMail account? Can one set up two?

I guess too, for this to work one has to have ActiveSync set to automatic. In order not to have AS run constantly, many folks set up a fake Exchange server, just to be able to set the schedule to Manual. If it is set to manual, however, I don't see how the e-mail could "Push".

So, in setting up "Push" for a Gmail account, does one not use the Microsoft Push E-maikl setting at all? Or is that a different way to do it, including for Gmail?

Doesn't that Google Sync also sync the Google online Calendar with the phone's calendar, etc.?
[HD2 General] Vectre:
exchange

Actually, at this time, my understanding is while you can have multiple email accounts you can only have 1 set up through exchange. I could be wrong, I haven't done in depth research.

Current reviews and reports say that Windows Phone 7 is supposed to support multiple exchange servers.. But we haven't actually seen it yet.

Vectre
[HD2 General] me:
I've never done Push, thinking of trying it.

I'll tell you how I have my e-mail currrently set up on the HD2, which is the same way as I have set it up on other phones for years.

T-Mobile has a service where you set up your e-mail addresses with them (at mytmobile), and you can set it for them to send a text message every time you receive an e-mail. That message includes the sender, the subject line, date and time, I forget if any of the message. I think those alerts are free, do not take from one's store of text messages. I have that set.

Then--I do not have any automatic retrieving set up in e-mail. It is all manual.

So, I do get a message "pushed" to me, on receipt of all e-mails, from all accounts.

If I see that I received an e-mail that I want to read now on the phone, then I go to either the phone's mail app, or the gmail java applet (I use the latter more now), to read that e-mail.

I don't use any server in ActiveSync, yet I have a fake one set up, to enable me to set AS totally to manual. (You can find threads about that here). That way AS does not run all the time, is not constantly trying to sync, etc.

I'm not sure what advantage "push" would have over that, and probably use much more battery. (And yes, that would be a limitation with Gmail, in only being able to do one account. I regularly check two Gmail accounts. If I was to do Push, I would turn off the text alerts, but then I would not find out what e-mails I received on the 2nd gmail account.)

I was curious about Push (and then disabling the e-mail alerts), but I will probably stick with what I have.
[HD2 General] Vectre:
I used this on my previous winmo phone. When I tried to set it up for HD@ it didn't seem to still be an option. That is why I set up google sync. At this time I am mostly using my gmail account so it works out just fine..
[HD2 General] me:
You mean the mail alerts from T-Mobile?

That is not something you set up on the phone, and has nothing to do with WinMo.

In fact, I had nothing to do, to set it up on my HD2. I had it set up already, worked on my previous (non winmo) phone, and it worked on my HD2, without any re-setting up.

You set it up at the T-Mobile web site. Log on to "My T-Mobile", with your user name and password, go to "configure e-mail". You can set up any e-mail accounts you have there--POP, IMAP, etc (including Gmail and others), and you can set it to send you a text alert for every e-mail received on any of the e-mail accounts you configure there.

It is completely phone-independent. Once set up, it will send those alerts to any phone you have, unless you turn it off. (If having a problem with it, call T-Mo CS.)
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Poll--

Which screen protector for the Tmo HD2 do you think is best ,and why?
[HD2 Accessories] COD3THR33:
I have ghost armor on mine. Doesn't scratch or peel. Had the entire phone wrapped in it.
[HD2 Accessories] Poopmonkey:
I have a cheap static-cling screen protector on my HD2 from Ebay from China. Honestly, I don't have any quarrels with it. It's just a piece of plastic. It's meant to be the thing to take the scratching so why spend a ton of money on it? Anyways, static-cling protectors may be a bit hard to put on but once you learn how to put them on you can get a perfect bubble-free protection even if you reapply them. Overall, it does it's job and protects my screen.
[HD2 Accessories] mfrey0118:
I use the InvisibleSHIELD from Zagg.com. It's custom cut to fit your entire phone, including the back and sides. Has a lifetime warranty, will replace due to damage for free. Made using military technology. So far so good I like it. If you apply it properly you can't even tell it's there...no bubbles, it doesn't ride up on the corners over time. I am close to replacing it because it has taken a few scratches and rips.

It also "self-heals"...had a huge gash in it one time when it stuck to a rubber key chain I had in my pocket in 95 degree Florida humidity but in 24hours I could barely even tell where it was anymore. Touch screen responsiveness seems the same...
[HD2 Accessories] ajay88:
I'm with you! I have Zagg's Invisible Shield for everything I own. Its doing a great job on my phone. I also have it on my laptop, and after a couple of months, I had it sent and replaced for a new one without any problems...
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Funny, how one often hears that in advertising. Anyone can say that about their product. What does it mean?

Did the US army develop your HD screen protector? I think they have other things to do.

Just because a company uses terminology like that in order to sell their product to you, to get you to pay $15 for a little piece of plastic that costs them about 1 cent, doesn't mean that it means anything.
[HD2 Accessories] wil3y:
It's the stuff they used to apply to helicopter blades to protect against dust and debris.

[HD2 Accessories] phoneman09:
I have the zagg shield for my tmobile hd2 and i absolutely love it.. i would never waste my money on some crappy screen protectors from any retail store or site and the best thing is that there manufactured with a lifetime warranty.
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
I have a Zagg for my HD2 but have never used it. I didn't pay attention when I bought it and when I received it and realized it was the wet application type I decided I would just ruin my phone if I tried to put it on. Plus it's hard for me to imagine being without a phone for 12 hours while it dries.

Did you apply it yourself?
[HD2 Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I had one that i put on myself. The trick to not having to wait 12 hours is placing it under a desk lap. It under for about 30 minutes and was on. It came our perfect, and warm.
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Good idea.
[HD2 Accessories] peetuhr:
I use the one included with the otter box, people don't know its there unless I tell them and I keep the otter box for when I go camping or plan on getting really drunk : P its never effected screen response and had been on for 3 weeks with no peeling or anything so no complaints from me!
[HD2 General] CrazeDawg:
Hi everyone,

I have freaking weird problem, I just cant use my phone anymore now.

And totaly have no clue wtf is wrong with it..

Today I got the 29.5 artemis rom, and installed it on my phone, using SSPL method

I've done it before with artemis rom only older version. And everything was working fine.

Well it kinda did the same with this newer rom untill I went to "Microsoft my phone" and it froze, and nothing worked to shut it down, so had to take my battery out and in again, it restarted. After that it froze when I pressed the off button, and after I pressed it again it just froze and didnt want to do nothing..

So after that I did the same again I had to take my battery out, and then in again.

So now it just dont want to pass the second "HTC" screen with RGD numbers on it.

So I tried to install the rom from my PC via the bootloader, and it gives me update error after a while watching in htc screen with 0% update on it..

SOMEONE HELP!?

I ******* want to smash the phone in piecess..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
what phone you got?is it a tmous?
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Try a reset it normals resolves this type of iss - or a factory reset
[HD2 General] CrazeDawg:
Well, the issue it freezes at that second screen and normal reset aint working, tried hard reset several times still nothing. Freezes at the second screen.

And I use eropean version of the phone. Dunno what tmous is tho.

Gonna try to get HSPL on it, Task 29 format see if it will do somehting

------

Edit

I think I got it working now, its been formatted succesfully, and now its installing the rom on the phone, hope it wont freeze at the same point (keeping the finger crossed)

Edit #2

Its working now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stormrain:
Hello mates, given that I apparently misplaced my topic in another section, I'm posting it here too..

Basically I'm interested to know just that. How could I change the name of an app into another name. So as to in a way "stealth" the app from third eyes that may have a look at my phone.

I have my device rooted, I'm sure I've crossed this info in the past (not here I think), but I fail to find it at the moment, and the search didn't bring up anything relevant.

Thanks in advance and I hope I'm in the correct place now. :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
You have to edit the application name by decompiling it. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

This would break the updating because of the different name.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stormrain:
Thanks man, higly appreciated!
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Planning to buy a second battery for the HD2.

Certainly would be convenient to be able to charge the spare battery externally, and have it ready for use.

Anyone know of an external battery charger that is available? Anyone here actually tried one, and could tell us if it works well or not?
[HD2 Accessories] me:
I see one on Ebay-

http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-AC-WALL...CH-HD2-T8585-/290466531133?pt=PDA_Accessories

Don't know if it is any good though.

Also, not sure if it is really for the HD2 battery. The ad says it is for the "HTC TOUCH HD2 T8585".

Is the HD2 ever called "Touch HD2"? Or do they have it confused with the Touch Pro? What is that number T8585?

Farther down I thought I recall it said something like "for Sprint HD2", although I don't see that now. Sprint doesn't have the HD2, does it?

Even at a cheap price like that, it would be kind of a drag to buy that, and it doesn't fit the HD2 battery at all, then you have to pay for return shipping. (At least it is shipped from the USA, unusual for that kind of thing.)

Anyone here tried one of these, or another one? It would certainly add to the convenience, if one has an extra battery, to be able to charge one externally? (This one says it can charge two, but I don't see how from the pic.)
[HD2 Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I just bought a spare battery from this place.

[HD2 Accessories] chrisnia:
I bought one and it cooks my batteries. We should start a thread dedicated to finding after market and OEM batteries online. I purchased several batteries from ebay vendors and IMMEDIATELY tested them using a Triton (RC Hobby Computer chargers) it is sophisticated and charges to max recommended voltage then MEASURES the wattage during a fixed drain cycle. I sent up the drain cycle assuming a 5 hour talk time. (MAH of batteries / 5). EBAY batteries consistently only gave 750-850 mah although they claimed over 1000. One seller (I tested 2 batteries) only had 450 and 465 mah.

I purchased cradle chargers, "OEM" Car chargers, as well as wall chargers. The bottom line is that Chinese produced items are prey to the lowest price regime that is the nature of the Chinese market. Quality is non existent, just the lowest price for an item that resembles a quality product.

Stick with verizon, sprint etc chargers that are proven and tested. That was the best solution for me. I tried to purchase an "OEM" HTC HD@ charger ebay. It had a poor replica of an HTC logo and it also seems to overcharge and cook my batteries.

Anyone else have any experience or opinions?
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Now you got me scared about buying one of the battery chargers.

By the way though, just about everything we buy here (certainly electronics) is made in China. But yes, if it is non brand name, or fake brand name, it might not (or might) have the same quality. (And if shipped from China, not worth returning if it is a dud.)

You say "stick with Verizon and Sprint chargers". Well, the HD2 is not sold by Sprint and Verizon. Are you saying they put out a charger for one of their phones, that uses the exact same batteries? Link to those chargers? Thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] fi3ry_icy:

[HD2 Accessories] me:
Thank you, but just telling us where you bought your battery and charger don't tell us much, without a review of them.

I also posted a link to a charger in the OP, and asked if anyone has tried it, and knows if it is any good.

The previous poster wrote that the no-name chargers can damage the batteries. I don't know if he or she is correct or not, but it scared me about buying one. The battery and charger you linked to are no-name. Have you tested them, the way the previous poster did?

Also, the products you linked to seem very expensive, but I don't know the relationship of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars. Anyone know?
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Well, I just bought the one I mentioned in the second post, from Ebay.

At $5.99, free shipping, ships from the USA, I figure not much to lose.

I guess I'll be nervous whether the poster is correct about generic chargers "cooking" batteries. I don't know how I would know, if the charger is damaging to batteries or not. Would they be too hot after charging?

By the way, for those interested in a "cradle" for the HD2, which also has a space for charging an extra battery, I saw one on Amazon, about $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1FZ013TFV210J7ZAEDS6

(I have no need for a cradle though, and prefer the small charger only design.
[HD2 Accessories] fi3ry_icy:
lol.. i am using the charger and battery as we speak... and its not some no-name charger and battery.. the brand is MOMAX.. they have a website momax.net which shows their items.. the battery is fit for use for HD2 original battery and the momax battery, which is why i bought it.. the charger has got 2 charging points, direct to hd2 like the normal charger, and external battery charging function, which is what i liked about it.. no need to switch between 2 chargers, 1 stop solution for the battery in my phone and the other spare battery, whether is it the original battery or their momax battery. :)
[HD2 Accessories] me:
Well, having a name one never heard of like "Momax", doesn't mean the product is not "no name". By the latter I did not mean no name at all, but not a recognized brand name.

Not saying that all products without a recognized brand name are no good (I ended up ordering one, in fact), just that one is taking a chance. (And I think I would have taken just as much of a chance with "Momax" as with the one I ordered.) Besides, the one I ordered was shipped from the USA, much better for returns, quick shipping, etc., than something ordered from Hong Kong.

By the way, do you work for that company "Momax"?
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Where did you get yours from? I ordered one off of Ebay for 5 bucks. Got it 3 weeks later and it worked for one charge, then died. I emailed them and they agreed to send me another one without question, but it's going to be another 3 weeks until I see it.
[HD2 Accessories] fi3ry_icy:
lol.. of course not rofl..

im from Singapore, not Hong Kong.. and besides, shipping from Hong Kong to where i live is cheaper than from europe and the states, not to mention currency conversion..

[HD2 Accessories] d0ug:
I have the charger pictured in the 2nd post here, ive had it for over 2 months charging batteries in it daily and have had no problems with the charger or batteries.

The seller i bought it from was US based and they also shipped 2 additional batteries with it, so i now rotate my batteries. I have one in the phone, a spare that i carry in my wallet, and one in the charger at all times. When the phone battery dies it goes into the charger, the charged one goes to my wallet ,and the one in my wallet goes to the phone.

I started doing this ever since I had to return by HD2 due to a damaged USB port causing it to go into car kit mode. I think i have only used this new HD2's USB port twice for charging since i got it. I prefer to just swap the batteries.

This works out great because i never have to worry about carrying around a charger and finding a place to stop for awhile to charge up a bit

It does however seem the charger is incapable of charging a battery and phone via the usb port simultaneously. If i put a dead battery in it the charge light will light up red to indicate it is charging, as soon as i plug something into the usb port the light will go blue to indicate charging is done. Im guessing the internal power supply isnt beefy enough to simultaneously charge both
[HD2 Accessories] wearefree:
Just bought the same charger listed in the 2nd post. Seller informed me of delayed USPS pickup due to the snow storm in NY area :(

Oh well for $5 if it doesn't work as expected it won't hurt my wallet.
[HD2 Accessories] wearefree:
charger arrived last night, tested with the stock battery. Charged to full in 3 hours, so far so good.

Only complaint: the charger is slight narrower compared to the battery, so about 1/8 inch of the battery is sticking out during the charging process. It does look cheap but gets the job done. Besides, it's only $5.

Now I just swap batteries (I bought an extra battery elsewhere) and don't have to use the USB port to charge anymore, woohoo!
[HD2 Accessories] drpudding:
going to buy this charger from ebay..will review it later when it comes

[HD2 Accessories] huggs:
Busted USB port here, about 6 months ago, bought the same charger and a spare battery, and it hasn't failed me yet. The battery does stick out the one side a bit, but it works. Only problem I ever had was the one time I let my gf switch my batteries in it and she bent one of the charger's contact pins. I bent it back, and it's worked well since.

I actually prefer battery swapping now over charging.
