I don't se the need to replace your HD2 with Desire since we can already run Android on our HD2's. Unless you don't want to use WinMo again.
[HD2 General] malias4:
yea we can run android but not 100% functionable, and thats true!

also i have a data plan wiv unlimited internet so if i boot in android the speed is crappy etc..

hopefully soon the devs can solve al the issues n it will be better..
[HD2 General] veda_sticks:
keep the hd2. android ime is perfecrly usable on a daily basis. i find it just as fast if not faster than win mobile. battery life is same nd network speeds great. yes there are still annoying bugs. but so does win mobile. the sheer amount of apps and stuff u can do outweighs the bugs massively. plus ot only takes a few mintues to get back to win mobile.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
the latest released kernals are very fast with no lag it is even faster than the desire , and remember desire don't have proper multitouch like what our hd2 have (don't believe me try multitouch apps from the market ) and with respect to the functionality the only missing thing now is the light sensor and wifi theatering and i think within two weeks we will have a fully functional kernal
[HD2 General] malias4:
Thanks guys for your replies, im convinced now..

just have to be a little patient i think till android will be 100 percent flashable..

Till then i ll enjoy the dual boot and the massive screen:p

[Desire General] neuromacer:
Thought my Desires's APN was faulty so a did a nadroid recovery losing a few days of sms, but just found out Orange UK data network is down!
[Desire General] Jongo:
ahh that explains why it wouldnt connect was gonna do a factory reset you just saved me that!

Happen to know when its going to be back up?
[Desire General] phrenzi:
I had just run setcpu, thought I had fried something, spent an hour flashing different roms.

Glad? its just Orange network problems.
[Desire General] tapperace2010:
Thanks mate, just installed froyo on my phone, and thought id done something

wrong lol
[Desire General] neuromacer:
Looks like Orange network is back up! fingers crossed!
[Desire General] phrenzi:
Yup, they should have a network status on their home page.
[Desire General] phrenzi:
Looks like the issue has returned.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
yeah says I am connected but data is only "sending" not receiving.
[Desire General] deviouscreation:
I have the exact same issue today... Data sending but not receiving. Often I was getting no 3G displayed at all. Thought a recent download was conflicting, and was on the verge of a hard reset. Good thing I saw this!
[Desire General] flashflash:
Central London, work colleague has same issue. No data
[Desire General] gsayer:
I also had no data from about 6pm yesterday. Well I have just called Orange and there was a message saying that there is a problem with their gprs and they are working on it, so I guess us Orange users will have to sit tight. I had flashed several ROMS and the latest radio thinking I had messed up something up, well at least this isn't my fault. :)
[Desire General] Ric_the_Llama:
Orange's data network has been really temperamental for me in the four months since I joined. I really hope they improve things.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
blame apple, its entirely their fault.
[Desire General] dpk:
+1 lol

No 3G/+ for me still, phone keeps saying connection failed :@
[Desire General] aindow:
No data for me using Orange in Preston, luckily my company has a Wifi system in the office though!
[Desire General] randomelements:
Had problems from about 3pm onwards yesterday (all the way on the train from Victoria down to Sittingbourne). Was better this morning but sat here at work (Canary Wharf) and I've had no data all day.

What's the point of a smartphone if you can't use the smart bits ;)
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Its just come back up for me

First the 3g turned to a H

then it dissapeared altogether

and when it came back, data is now working.
[Desire General] phrenzi:
East London here, the connections still playing up.

Glad we have wifi here.
[Desire General] randomelements:
I'm now showing 3G but no data flowing :(
[Desire General] Andyokane:
Working now for me

Edit: nah its gone again...
[Desire General] nowimboard:
I was ready to flash tonight as well!

This, coupled with the fact that my SDcard appears to have wiped it's self so Swift key doesn't work and I've lost all my music, I thought the phone had done a silly!

I'll guess I'll wait a bit before doing anything rash!
[Desire General] sutepm:
No data here, in Guildford, either.
[Desire General] aindow:
You can still flash over WiFi.
[Desire General] dpk:
Looks like mine is back up, also noticed that the Current Location in Weather is working :D
[Desire General] randomelements:
Looks like we're back up and running - this is on my phone. ;)
[Desire General] phrenzi:
Down again? Seems to be a guessing game at the mo... lol
[Desire General] deviouscreation:
Mine started working earlier, but is down again. 3g can't even get past "turning on".
[Desire General] sam640:
Seems to be working again ... in Manchester.
[Desire General] phrenzi:
Still fudged in London, and still not a mention on Oranges web site.

:(
[Desire General] playsatan:
I have travelled from inverurie (north of aberdeen) all the way to manchester today and had pretty much no 3g/hsdpa coverage all the way down. It apparently worked very briefly on the borders (my last location registered even though i was south of the lakes at the time) but nothing all the way down to south manchester where i live.

It did refresh the weather once when i got home but that has been it since yesterday afternoon.

I had already reflashed my radio and was just about to re-flash my whole ROM when i thought i'd just have 1 more check on the forum. Good job i did if its an Orange problem and not just me.

Is anyone else still having problems?
[Desire General] sun_man:
does this problem still exist? I am having problems with my data

Another day on wifi.
[Desire General] randomelements:
Hehe well, no sooner do I post than data comes back - even HSDPA. Let's see if it lasts.

Oh well, had to restart my phone and guess what.... How many tries do you need ;)
[Desire General] JonGH:
Just picked up this thread. Am visiting parents in Chester-le-street, co. Durham so been mostly on their WiFi. Noticed this morning that mobile internet can not get past "turning on".
[Desire General] phrenzi:
Well seems to be working again in East London, but for how long we ask.. ;)

I wonder if they have upgraded the network, and had unforeseen problems. I seem to be on H more often now.

Maybe its the T-Mobile/Orange merger?
[Desire General] chandalf:
Orange 3G Network

Seems like the most obvious culprit, but you would expect T-M users to be complaining too. Anyone know if they are?
[Desire General] kien:
Yep, T-Mobile users were/are affected as well. Orange data is back for me but its no better, if anything its worse.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
yeah saying that I got a strange message when sending at text last night.

Something along the lines of....

"you are sending a character from a T-Mobile device that only other T-Mobile devices can see, if you send to another network it will fail"

it was only a "£" lol

I was thinking that might just be Handcent sms playing up, but now you say this it might be linked to the merger.
[Desire General] sutepm:
ํYep, my data is now back up...
[Desire General] phrenzi:
My post about a merger was just an after thought, I have no idea if its actually happening, but since T-Mob users are affected too maybe it is the case.

I normally never get the H connection at work, normally sits on E.
[Desire General] sun_man:
definitely down last night - i though it was a froyo problem as i just updated to it - however seems like orange had problems :-( - they keep doing this even their online account was not accessible.
[Desire General] ShugM:
The data is still unreliable here in rural North Essex.

Bloody Orange!
[Android Software Development] coala_the_first:
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE (listed in Market as Phone calls - read phone state) is a permission that grants the application to read your IMEI (unique cell phone serial), Phonenumber, Serial of the SIM-CARD, and many more.

(For more information or Screenshots what it can do, see app "permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" in Android market)

Now, if this can be a major privacy-breach since the Developer is able to know who is using his app in person (by looking up the phone number, e.g.), or connecting user habbits over several apps to another, one could think: okay, then i won't install apps with this permission anymore.

And here comes, what i discovered within Android market:

to name just a few recognized ones, are able to install this permission without it being listed by Android Market! :eek:

Not only this, some of them also install with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (normaly listed as "Storage - Modify or delete SD card contents" in Market e.g.: read and write all your SD-Card data) as well!

(Please note that at least 2 of them are by Google itself! (My Tracks and Sky Map))

Now, one could think, maybe the Application needs the permission for not being properly coded; But at least Vampires Live, seems to use the secretly installed permission to recognize you, once you uninstalled and install again.

Not all of the apps have internet-access, though. But Market message says when updating:

"The application xxxx will replace the currently installed xxxx.

Existing user data will be saved."

That leaves room for interpretations. It could mean your data will be preserved - "stay saved" would be the better phrase there imo-, but it could also mean it will collect your data when updating. But i don't know. Anyone?

Of these Market fails i could name you a few dozen more, but i would be glad to hear of your experiences, and if you can second mine!
[Android Software Development] coala_the_first:
short version:

Permissions read_phone_state and write_external_storage that do not show up when installing from market, are nevertheless installed, with many applications! - and taken use of!

please reply, somebody :-)
[Android Software Development] Zurga:
Valid point.

Hi,

I think it's a good thing you brought this up. A lot of applications have weird permissions attached. If i don't trust a program or developer i make sure to block the apps data usage via firewall.

This is just fighting the symptoms and not the problem, i am very well aware of that, but i can't really do anything about it.

There was an antivirus software company that raised the same questions as you have(except for permissions being granted to an app without showing them in the market). In the end there was nothing wrong with the app in the way that it didn't send user data to the developer.

I guess you just have to accept that some developers want that data and that there are two ways to block it; use a firewall or don't install the app.

But I do believe that it's unacceptable that an application gets permissions which are not stated in the market.
[Android Software Development] chrisvp:
The problem is really that the permission is too broad. I developed an alarm app, and the phone state permission is needed to make sure the alarm doesn't go off in someone's ear while they are on the phone. Same thing with any app with sound, like google navigation, and games i suppose.

[General Questions and Answers] t3rm3y:
i have a genuine MS system with office 2003. i flashed a rom to the blackstone, which included the mobile ms office 2010, and now i have a warning when i start my PC's office saying it is not genuine, (the phone synched with PC after the flash)

can this happen? any one else experience? or jsut a dodgy version loaded by the IT company brought PC from and only just popped up the warning?
[General Questions and Answers] jonifen:
Sounds like the Office on the PC isn't genuine and a windows update has sparked the messages up.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Office on your handset would tie into the PC enough to trigger those kind of events.

Or it could just be the OGA (office genuine advantage) throwing a wobbler and mis-reporting a non-genuine version - this did happen with Windows XP when they first rolled out WGA if I remember right.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
I have built a 6.5.5 rom HD2 Leo and intragrated sense 2016. I have noticed that the music and picture tabs do not rotate when you turn the phone. Is there a way arround this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Has anybody been able to fix this in sense 2016. I have even tried the packages from earlier sense that did rotate, but when I put them in to 2016 it didn't work. I think it may have to do with the manila core but I am not sure.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morpheus1982:
What ROM do you have? Perhaps its best asking within that thread.

I enabled Manila Rotation for the Artemis ROM recently, and found that the Pictures, Music, and Documents tab did rotate, but not in the way that HTC intended. I therefore disabled the rotation again because apparently you cannot create exclusions for certain tabs.

Hi guys,

it's now 3 days I'm reading around forums but still I cannot use my desire and nobody could help me.

I have 0.83.0001 bootloader, so it suppose to be a SLCD version, I rooted it with unrevoked and default recovery image. (not with the one SLCD compatible)

So when I switch it on normally it go in recovery mode with black screen.

Now I can only switch it on into fastboot and Hboot mode.

Tried to do almost everything without success.

Please someone can help me? I cannot use it anymore!

Thanks a lot

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kcandroid:
Currently my device got stuck at the screen "HTC Magic", I tried all combination, home/vol down/back + power, to boot the device. it just stuck at the screen "HTC Magic" forever, and it cannot pick up usb connection either.

What I did as below:

Initially the SPL version is 1.33.0010 (SAPP50000). then I used "[How-To] Fix perfected SPL" by Amon_RA at to have v2.53.707.2 sappimg.nbh/zip, and succeed. after upgraded the firmware version is still 1.5

Then use adb to flash the Radio Image from Google I/O on Google I/O Device at HTC developer center

the radio image load completed, but when first time reboot the phone then stuck at the screen "HTC Magic" forever. Anyone can help? thank you very much in advance!

any help? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tsykotic:
I am having the same problem.

I was using a Cyanogen mod on a HTC Magic 32A and used Clockworkmod bootloader to try and flash the latest radio image from Cyanogen.

Same issue, can't use any combination to start it up again in any way, shape or form.

If you solved let me know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Yup! You definitly broke your device. But not knowing all the details we cannot know for sure. :rolleyes:

@kcandrid: what radio?

@Tsykotic: what spl?

@kcandrid, you cannot flash anything higher than the radio that's in my signature below. Doing that may cause your device to brick.

@Tsykotic, assuming since your device is a 32A I'm guessing that you don't have a MyTouch 1.2/Fender device. If by chance you do then your device might not be bricked. If not, then I don't know what to tell you.

Bottom line... you should never flash unfamiliar radios. I'm pretty sure that this has been mentioned in about every radio thread that I've seen. I'm not sure what's going wrong here. :confused:

Which emails ? Gmail and exchange use Push and therefore don't really use data to sync
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
That's for email and Exchange. Open up the email app and it's in account settings.

Gmail is push-only I believe.

As well it should be - push uses less battery than polling (unless you're polling once or twice a day and that's it). If you have the option for push (ie, you're using Exchange), you'll save a LOT of battery using push instead of polling every 15 minutes.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heliotropeUCSD:
Hi-

I've been carefully following along and enjoying the progress the Dev community has made on the HTC Incredible. It is a great phone, that you are making better, that will be completely ridiculous once it gets 2.2 OTA.

In anticipation of the OTA, and as suggested by Unrevoked's twitter, I've set S-OFF in anticipation of an eventual OTA. I'm running stock 2.1, rooted, S-OFF, wifi-tether, and a few Sense apks disabled.

I'd love to show my support with the custom Unrevoked splash screen. However, on a Mac, I'm unable to get it to be accepted by HBOOT. It give me the "no image" error. I've tried formatting the /sdcard as FAT32 (in OSX), but no joy.

Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnoldpe0:
heliotropeUCSD

I believe os x does not give you any options of formatting in fat32 as far as byte size is concerned. I had a problem with that was well, but was able to overcome it by formatting my sdcard on a windows machine as fat32 but with a 1k allocation size instead of the default 4k allocation size. This fixed my problem. Good luck.

Allocation size might not be the right word...I think it is though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heliotropeUCSD:
OSX = no no

Okay, agreed. Booted up good ol' XP in VMware fusion, and formatted card FAT32. Everybody lives happily ever after, splash screen is sweet, and I'm done dicking around with this phone until OTA comes out. See you guys then.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldman_58:
You can format in you phone then pull, be Careful once back in the phone MAC ( I own several and would not part with them) adds hidden files you will be able to see them once in the phone they will start with a . or an underscore, remove them then start the process of the splash screen.

im looking for a windows mobile phone for around £100

only thing's i really want is wifi and qwerty keyboard on it.

any idea's???

all help and input welcome
[General Questions and Answers] jonifen:
You wouldn't get one brand new for that kind of money, but you may be lucky enough to get a second hand one from ebay or something.

The HTC Touch Pro 2 seem to go for about £150 on ebay, so you should get the HTC Touch Pro for about £100 > £110.

The mWg Zinc II (I think...) may be quite cheap this way.

Note that I haven't had any of the above mentioned handsets so I don't know if they're any good - they're just the ones with wifi and qwerty keyboards that I can think off which would be about that price range.

I suppose it depends on what you're hoping to do with it - If the qwerty keyboard isn't an absolute necessity, you may even get a HTC TouchHD (Blackstone) for about £100.

Good luck!
