[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nicandris:
i don’t think that someone that cannot do it himself/herself should pay though! We never denied help to anyone around here and personally i even received two phones by mail, unlocked them, flashed a custom rom and send them back ;) so no i will not say "it's ok"

i volunteer if any of those sellers needs help to send me the SD and i will send it back with the Android OS (i don’t believe its necessary though, its some simple steps)

i will try to contact the newswritters abt this issue
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
why should this be illegal?? if you pay for his work of compiling information, and not for the build itself? he says he'll send instructions, not a file/zip/sdcard/device...

don't get me wrong - i'm not defending this guy. but there's a difference between being illegal and being impolite/unfair/an as*h*le....

to state it clear once again: i personally don't like what the guy is doing, i do not support this inacceptable behaviour.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] egzthunder1:
It is always a gray area as eBay sellers only sell the links (most of them don't even compile the instructions themselves), they do not sell the software. It is a shame that this happens (has happened for years), but they clearly state that they are only providing the info on how to do things. I agree that no one should sell even knowledge that is not theirs, but technically speaking, it is not illegal. They are only selling info...

I still reported it though, but I doubt anything good will come out of it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] marafa:
hello all

i intend to upgrade my mt3g from 1.6 to cm6 soon. i am following this guide: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrading_from_CyanogenMod_4.2_to_CyanogenMod_5/6

and i have this phone:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.23.02

its a t-mobile mytouch3g.

i have followed all the steps in the guide and stopped at the cm6 install.

my question is: it says i dont need to upgrade my radio. i have no idea how old the guide is and i want to verify before i take the final step that this is still valid.

my other question is: if i need to upgrade anything else before i go for the big upgrade.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
Your radio is up to date. Should be fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] marafa:
thank you for your response.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mdnghtphnx:
i don't have that radio, and have been trying to find out where to get it. ive got a tmobile mytouch 3g but my baseband version is 62.505.20.17h_2.22.19.26I.

I'm running cm6, was running cm5 and cm4 before. i rooted long ago, but have never found a way to update those aspects.

How do i upgrade my radio? where do i find the current one?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Download files, place directly on sd card, no folders or directories. Wipe what you need, flash ROM. I might proceed into ROM to make sure its working them power down, back into recovery to flash theme just as you did Rom and should be good.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8borderx:
Can you go into a little more detail on the theme part? after i power down i go to what? and then do what? i already flashed a rom and put my apps on it?... do i have to remove them all again? or do i just flash it somehow and bam theme is there?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Always refer to the instructions given for each theme, as they may have specific steps required, but as a rule, you flash the theme just like a rom, meaning power on while holding down the volume, go to recovery, and flash the theme file. Generally, you don't need to wipe anything before flashing a theme, and you flash a theme over a rom, you don't need to remove anything.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Yes, this is true.

Some themes are for certain ROMs, guess I assumed you had a "perfect pair" lined up.

You always want to readk and make sure, it's all a simple action in terms of flashing a Rom/Theme.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I have been running Froyo for three days now as my primary phone Operating System. Although NAND is not available and may never be for the HD2, 99.9% of everyday functionality is.

At this moment, the only thing I can think of that doesn't work is WiFi tethering, which is not a big deal for me.

I thought about writing a tutorial along the same lines as my others; a simple, step-by-step method for locating, downloading, installing and running Android on our T-Mobile US HD2, but I am not sure that there is enough interest here.

Before anyone points out that there are such tuts over on the Leo forum, I would like to mention that they are poorly written and confusing for a complete newbie. I believe that I can do a much better job myself.

If I get 10 positive responses to this thread, whether by poll or by reply, I will write the tut. Negative responses will not count, but are welcome.
[HD2 General] Birdsfan:
I think a simple step by step walk through is a great idea!
[HD2 General] Leobenzoid:
newbie in need

I will jump on this band wagon...I would love to see a step by step guide to Android for my HD2 t-mobile us. I just got a 32g sandisc and thought about using my original 16g for Android. Can you advise me?

Thanks for the thread
[HD2 General] cwhtree:
I have already installed android myself. Was alot of reading before I felt comfortable to try. You are right, the documentation in the Leo HD2 forum can be overwhelming. Give it a go, I am sure it will be appreciated!
[HD2 General] tyween:
I voted yes.. I was curious: what is the difference between running android on a normal hd2 vs the tmobile hd2? I just flashed a bios and radio on my us tmobile and I was about to attempt to run FroyoStone_Sense.
[HD2 General] adbookeronline:
Android????

I thought about doing the android on hd2, but like you said, it seems to confusing, and dangerous, i don't want to brick my phone, and would i have to use another sd card just to run android on my phone. I am just safe running spb mobile shell along with htc sense that came with my hd2, i don't know, help me.
[HD2 General] spydec:
yes

yes - i would be interested in a tut for the tmo hd2
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I think it's a great idea... Reading is important, but a lot of people here aren't that technical and I think that they do get lost in some of the verbiage used in the posts...
[HD2 General] icandy75:
Please

I personally would greatly appreciate it. I fried my first HD2 playing with Android a few weeks ago. HTC was kind enough to send me a replacement unit. Long story short I would prefer not to make the same mistakes.
[HD2 General] quinto91:
Good Idea

I think its a good idea i learned years ago how to flash phones and create different partitions on your sd card for different roms, but i did jack up my fair share of sd cards during the process, luckily never a phone lol. I think it would be good for other people to not have the same amount of issues. Been running android for months on my HD2 tried every flavor, but with recent releases it is finally good enough for everyday use.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded! The results were overwhelmingly positive, all the replies were "yes" and all but 1 of the 18 polled agreed as well.

As promised, I will start the tut immediately (flashing my phone now and will re-install Android in a bit to ensure I have the steps right) and it should be up this evening or tomorrow morning.

Moderators: Please feel free to lock this thread out and let it die, it has served its purpose ;)
[HD2 General] dotNet07:
can't wait to try it out. Anyway to backup the current phone before flashing to android?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
We aren't "flashing" per se. Your Phone's ROM is untouched, you just install and run Android from the SD card. When Android starts, most of Windows Mobile is shut down (I'm not 100% sure of the whole process, sorry) and Linux is loaded, which runs Android. If it helps, you could think of it as full-screen Emulator, but Android takes over fully.

I sync to Google via Exchange (see my sig for the link on how to do it yourself) and when I switched to Android, my contacts were also added along with the FB stuff that I added back in Sense on WinMo.

By the way, this thread is officially dead. I did indeed write the tutorial and it's in my sig as a link as well.

Hope this helps!

Sorry about that, Folks!
[EVO 4G General] rcbarr:
OK, so I don't want to use EasyTether or PDANet. I also don't want to pay Sprint a penny more than what I am already paying them. So, I start hacking, debuggin, looking, searching for ways to get the usb tethering working. Here is what I found.

If I turn off Wifi on my laptop, connect PC to EVO via USB and enable WiFi on the EVO, then connect to my WirelessN LinkSys Router.

AND when I connect I choose the USB Tethering option.

It works, what.....yeah, it works.

13.47MB down/3.78MB up, life it good.

I am rooted, used the downgrade to 2.1, root with unrevoke, upgrade to 2.2 procedure defined here at XDA.

Now the caveat, if I use 3G and not WiFi, I get the notorous Error Code: 67

Now, somewhere in this haystack at XDA I saw a thread talking about cheat codes, but for the life of me, I can't find it now.

What I am thinking is SPRINT disabled the modem, I need the code to enable the modem. OR, Sprint did something to disable the feature, need the code to enable the feature.

Anybody ???
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
um... if you're rooted just install Cyanogen rom and use the built in USB tethering without having all that funky bs. Works with WIFI + 3G.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Are you sure you are connected to the phone itself and not to the original wireless network? Your upload speeds seems out of place... even on 4G it should be close to 1 Mbps, download speed also seems suspicious... a few members have hit 10 Mbps but 13 sounds way off.
[EVO 4G General] mrjkwik:
i agree.

the phone is picking up the data connection from the router, and passing it along to your laptop. therefore the laptop is just getting its net from the router as well. you are not "tethering" off of your mobile data.
[EVO 4G General] andrescabral:
I have the same problem.. I called Sprint and they said I had to pay 30$ to use the usb modem.

By the way, I tested my speed in NYC and it reached 10Mbps on download and 1Mbps in upload. There are some places in NYC where you can get 4G signal.
[EVO 4G General] notRodney:
lol... your just using wifi from your router

[Epic 4G Themes] Psosmith82:
Landscape looks like ****, the N1 does not have a landscape mode on the homescreen so it was not made for landscape.

The launcher from the new G2 will work in landscape and has 7 home screens compared to the 5. Only problem is, you have to be running 2.2 for it to work, and who knows when we'll be seeing 2.2

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I was wondering if its possible to pull the CM settings from CM 6 and use it in another rom (obviously not a stock sense based rom). I know there is an apk in /system named CM parts which apparently has all the settings, but just pulling the apk and putting it in /system on new rom doesnt work. and no, im not trying to rip off the settings to use in a rom build to release. strictly personal use.

[Nexus One General] KDKobes:
This should fix most people's problems with sending and receiving MMS.

There are 2 APN settings, one for Internet and one for MMS.

Copy the MMSC, MMS Proxy, and MMS Port settings from the MMS APN over to the internet APN. *DON'T DELETE ANY APN SETTINGS* No restart is required.

I'm assuming the phone has issues switching between APN's or just doesn't attempt using the second APN. Let me know if this works for you or doesn't.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
You'll likely want to mention which carrier this applies to, as personally I only have one APN, MMS is in it, for "Cingular".

After using snap kernel for a while and being able to see the rate my evo is charging I figured it would be easy to find another battery program that would let me know how many milliamps my phone is consuming and the rate it is charging, but I have yet to find one after downloading a hundred off the market... someone throw me a bone here :confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzN1337c0d3r:
Well if you want to do math calculations, you could use JuicePlotter I guess.

We know 100% = 1500 mAH.

So if your phone charged 10% (150 mAH) in 1 hour, then the charging rate was 150 mA.

So basically you can come up equation like this:

Charge rate (in milliamps) = (%age charged * 15) / (time charged in minutes / 60)

Simplifying:

Charge rate (in milliamps) = %age charged * 900 / time charged in minutes

Edit: Sorry made a math boo boo.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Good day :D

I have just gotten my Desire a few days back. So far so good. I'm really pleased with it, but I still have a couple of questions (which hopefully can be answered here).

I suppose when I bought my phone, it was an AP phone. And I also will assume that it is from Asia/Asia Pacific/South East Asia because I have a choice of using English (Malaysian), English (Singaporean), and others, as well as a Thai and PinYin keyboard. My Desire also has a preset Scene, called HTC Asia. No big deal, I'm from Malaysia anyway.

Question: What is a sure-fire way to check out where my phone is from?

And I will also assume that it is unbranded. I have read a few posts, and branded phone will have the service provider logo appear on start up. Mine doesn't.

Question: Does this mean it is unbranded? Or just unlocked? How would I know if it is unlocked?

I tried updating my Desire to Froyo. No luck. Searching for software updates through the phone yields no results. The message telling me that my phone is up to date keeps popping up whenever I search. Here is my software information.

Firmware Version 2.1update1

Baseband version 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

Kernel Version 2.6.29-b7e82785 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1

Build number 1.19.707.7 CL171460 release-keys

Software Number 1.19.707.7

Browser Version WebKit 3.1

Question: Why is this so? Isn't Froyo out for SEA? Or does my phone's origins have something to do with the Froyo update? Will I even get a Froyo update?

I've actually brought my phone to a technician, just to chat abit, but then I decided, "Heck, if I can't get froyo, I might as well root it and flash a 2.2 rom". No dice either. After having a look at my phone, the technician told me that my hardware is (too) "new" or something, and I would have to leave my phone with him overnight for him to study it. But he has rooted other Desires before.

He also told me that my Desire would never get Froyo OTA. (because its AP?)

Question: Whats the deal? Are there really Desire's with new hardware out?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
im not sure if the froyo update has hit asia yet, but there is no problem at all with rooting, yes there is a new type of desire with a slcd screen, thats the only new hardware i can think about, but even that can be easly rooted, look in the android development section for guides :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Hey folks, I recently switched from my Milestone back to Nexus One (CyanogenMod 6) after porting to an AWS 3G carrier.

The N1 came with a 4 GB class 2 microSD card, and the Milestone came with a 16 GB class 2 card. So at the moment I'm using the bigger card on my N1. At some point in the future I may sell the Milestone, and when I do so, I will get a replacement card so that the buyer has all the original equipment.

My understanding is that class 2 is on the slower side of things. Looking at the cheaper end of available 16 GB cards, I see class 2, 4, 6, and at the pricier end I see even class 10. And the manufacturers include Kingston, A-Data, Transcend, Lexar, Ritek & others.

Are there any areas where I'd notice significant improvements with a higher-class microSD on the Nexus One? And are there any manufacturers I should avoid?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
Just pickup a class 6 transcend 8 or 16gb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Hmm well the Transcend Class 6 16GB is about twice the price of Class 2. How much of a performance difference would I notice for various tasks?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
2 - 2mbps

4 - 4mbps

6 - 6mbps

However, I just purchased a class 6 and the write speeds to and from my phone are 2mbps. But, if I use a card reader instead of my N1, I write at 15mbps or higher.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
That's actually wrong, Class 2 is 2MB/s not 2Mbps (big difference). So a class 2 card is fast enough to write a 720p Blu-Ray rip in "realtime", so it should be quite sufficient for use in mobile phones in the foreseeable future.
