[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android001:
Hi,

Im using FroydVillain 1.5 and Amon_RA recovery image on my HTC hero GSM.

I was partitioning my SD card to enable Apps2SD i partitioned and rebooted.

The device stayed in Reboot for 2 Hours i then pressed the end call button it went to the lockscreen, i can unlock the phone but then everything is black and i cant to anything unless i press a physical key! HELP PLEASE!

EDIT: Never mind fixed it by re-installing rom, because the SD was already partitioned due to my previous ****-up Apps2SD works!

How do I install on my desire?

I want to update my Gmail app to the new one... how can i do this??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
not possible, unofficial gapps updates from other non-ms phones will disable agps functionality...

so its a no go.

If you just take the gmail app, you loose authenticaion problems and your android market becomes unstable.. and it might not even install because of signature problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] schaggo:
I'm sorry to dig out this thread again, but this is what the search led me to:

I'm not on a Milestone but a Defy, which has Motoblur, so it should be all the same. In the market, Gmail doesn't show up and the included one is rather old.

So you say there is no way to get an updated version unless Motorola finds it necessary to supply the users with an updated app? Which, I suppose, will at some point be the 2.2 upgrade... How nice would that be, app updates provided by the manufacturer, from ROM to ROM... :mad:

On a sidenote: the market got updated to the all brand new one. So it's the Gmail app which rules as a central authentication agent to Googles servers and services?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] motorator:
Is the Defy on Eclair or Froyo? Standalone Gapps only work from Froyo onwards.

Anyway, are you able to see paid apps in your Market?

If not, root your phone (Z4Root) and download Market Enabler/ Market Access, then select one of the sim IDs to spoof. You should be able to see the updated Google apps then.

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DummyPLUG:
DEFY still on 2.1, so you can't update it, or need to find a custom rom, if any
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] schaggo:
This is what gives (everyone?) headaches... It's on 2.1 and a custom 2.2 is - AFAIK - a no-go with Motorola having released only a signed 2.1 kernel. To hell with locked bootloaders and low-level signature checks... Ugh...

@motorator I didn't know that with the standalone apps, thanks for that.

My samsung vibrant on t mobile

Vs

My wife's samsung fascinate on the nations largest 3G network.

Both pics were taken around the same time and right next to each other, I took the pc of mine from my wife's fascinate, and the pic of hers on my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
only see one pic.
[Vibrant General] Deleted member 2854036:
My wife's fascinate
[Vibrant General] tgerbracht:
Cool :) Did you say where you live?
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
i was pulling down 6Mbps the other night

suck it, verizon
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
this is the reason i ditched verizon. most places i was hitting .6-.8 mbps and i almost hit 5mbps with tmo on my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
Verizon's service was a lot slower at times, but I REALLY miss having 3g literally EVERYWHERE

T-Mobile 3G isn't even in every major city here in Northwest Arkansas....let alone the rural areas
[Vibrant General] natecglenn:
Tmobile has the fastest 3g around hands down. I have tried sprint and att. Both are slower, noticeably slower and the thing is t-mobile hasn't even started 4g or lte lol

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Tmo does have hspa+ though which can have an impact on data speeds depending on where you live
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
Tmo will beat everyone on speed but man good luck on finding it. Sprint was slower but everywhere
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
T-Mobile is the fastest 3G carrier in the US right now IF you live in a HSPA+ area.
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
The real question is why does your wife have the outrageously high priced verizon while you sport the more economical t-mobile? Business issued?
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
There are two main reasons Tmo typcially tops in speed:

Tmo has the fastest hardware right now. This will change, of course, seeing as both ATT and Verizon are working on their 4G networks and Tmo has no plans to go to 4G for the next two years. It is worth noting ATT and Verizon will have LTE not WiMax.

Tmo has a lot less customers so there is less demand on their towers. Less demand means faster speeds for those that do have Tmo.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
T-Mobile is increasing 3G coverage a bunch recently. They just gave Puerto Rico 3G coverage and I've been hearing of other places getting 3G recently.

Verizon 3G is much slower here, you can hit 1.9Mbps but you're usually under 1Mbps like T-Mobile 3G before HSPA+. 3G coverage isn't all that either, EV-DO drops out sometimes at my house but I can't complain.

3G is also slightly on JI2 now that the -dBm reading is more accurate within the Android system. The Vibrant grabs onto a 3G signal much better than ANY phone I've had on T-Mobile. (G1, CLIQ, myTouch, TM506, TouchPro2, Nuron).

This is what I typically see with T-Mobile. Data speed is much better than all 3 of the carriers combined here for me. Still needs work in some areas though! Not going to lie.. but overall, it's better.

You would be lucky to get 500Kbps with AT&T or Verizon during peak hours. The Sprint EV-DO network is taking a huge hit due to the new smartphones on their network. It went from being underutilized to being over used.
[Vibrant General] fit333:
As a former verizon/sprint/att/and uk versions f#ckee, ive never been more happy with a carriers service/price.

Tmo Hpsa ftw ..see sig
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Sad but true. I'm TM all the way, but F#$#, I hate how it's so limited still to a small area. Granted they are still expanding...Anyway, here's my pictures below...

I wouldn't quite knock Verizon...they'll kill TM on coverage on the mainland...but in some areas TM kicks @$$ over all....

Here's the true coverage ranking, hate it or love it, it's real:

1. Verizon

2. AT$T

3. Sprint

4. T-Mobile

Don't get me wrong, I get sick speeds...super fast...but only in certain areas...

My speed test pic is below...

:D
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Sprint coverage is way below T-Mobile coverage. 3G yes but I'd like to keep my calls.
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
As a trucker having gone through all 48 states with both carriers this is just not true

Well maybe in WU tmo might have slight better coverage
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Roaming on Verizon in most of those states no?

When you lose the signal in a big city you can't just roam the rest of the time because the phone will try to pick up the weakest bit of Sprint signal. Sprint drops out often here. Deadzones in stores where T-Mobile manages a good usable signal? Check. Signal drop outs when driving down the road? Check. Lesser amount of coverage overall? Check. Dropped calls when signal fades and roaming switches over? Check.
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
Lol must be the vibrant that sucks then cuz in a 1000 mile stretch of road I might get 3g 3 times for a few minutes, and speed is the worse while moving,. Just last night in portland, stopped, in the driver seat I had 3g, if I moved back to the sleeper 3 feet away it dropped to edge. Might be the phone that only gets 3g in wide open spaces like a satellite
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
well considering EvDO maxes out at 3.1mbps, while T-Mobile is running 21mbps HSPA+, of course your TMO speeds are better.

My Girlfriend has a Hero on Sprint, and it gets about 2.2mbps. My Vibrant gets 5.8mbps.

EvDO's reign on the speed front has long been over.
[Vibrant General] chronos7:
verizon blows...too expensive for no extra benifits
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I thought non-HSPA+ phones capped at 7.2mbps down... how'd you manage more than 8mbps?
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
he didn't. His sig is a flawed result.

You're absolutely correct. The Vibrant is capped at 7.2mbps. The only phone currently available that can go faster is the Nokia N900, which can get to about 10mbps.
[Vibrant General] aczarney:
The reason Tmobile is faster than verizon is because verizon is a EVDO network, and Tmobile is a CDMA network. CDMA networks will be faster everytime.
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
Did you mean T-mobile is HSPA? Verizon uses a CDMA network. T-mobile is GSM with 3g service on a HSPA network.
[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
*facepalm

/....../
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
3G service is a CDMA technology. HSPA is an extension of WCDMA.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
T-Mobile's 3G is WCDMA based. Verizon is CDMA. The data networks are EV-DO for Verizon and HSPA for T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
Lol this post is awesome hahahaha
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Did you miss where I said they have more 3G coverage?

EV-DO from 1X is cheap and easy. HSPA requires more equipment/money to upgrade to.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
:rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] ram130:
Well in the end it all comes down to which you prefer, 1 or 2:

1. 3G speeds with spotty or less coverage - T-Mobile

2. Slow 3G speed that can at least stream 720p every where you go(even in the Springs). - Verizon.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Lots of people streaming 720P video on Verizon. The only way you can reliably stream 720P video with a 3.1Mbps MAX connection is if no one else is on the network and if your 3G signal is good.
[Vibrant General] ram130:
Well pause and buffer for a min will be good enough. Anyway it's night and day, if you travel around the US then Verizon 3G coverage is best. If your stationary and not really going out of state that much the T-Mobile 3G is best. It's the facts.

Either you want EDGE while your on the go(traveling around the us) with spotty coverage or 3G(Verizon). We all can agree on this.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
That's like comparing a hot dog to a ribeye steak. Yes, they both contain meat. That's where their similarities end.

Wcdma is simply an air interface for umts. Cdma (in the common sense) aka cdma2000 refers to an entire cellular communications system including specs for backend topology, etc. There are plenty of books that explain the difference.
[Vibrant General] voghan:
I just wish t-mobile had great coverage to go with its great speed. I get 3g almost everywhere except at my office where I get e on some floors and nothing on others. It sucks but it does keep me off my phone at work.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Tmobile 3g coverage here in Colorado has been way better, in fact, when testing in many major locations, I usually pull over 1mbps extra than any other network. But, I'd rather be on a slower Verizon network that always works. Tmobile here constantly has 3g timeouts, it seems to have been resolved with my vibrant mostly, but my gf always gets them on her slide. Also, coverage is not really great inside some malls. Like Colorado mills, I barely get 300kbps down, sometimes it won't even work. All that while att, sprint and Verizon almost get 2mbps there... I tested at all of their stores and compared.

While at my house I get about 3mbps, at my gfs house, it is less than 300. Spotty 3g coverage is what Tmobile has in my state, very spotty.

I did try sprint for a month when the evo came out.... oh my, texts sometimes get delayed by hours, dropped calls, static calls. It was good in northern Colorado though, way better than Tmobile. At the end of the day, if I wasn't stuck on contract, I would probably jump ship and try Verizon. I love sprint plans the most though.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
HSPA+ is awesome, but when you get stuck on EDGE and a Verizon phone is on 3G, it's depressing.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
Sprint blows...

It does.

I'd rather have ATT and verizon than sprint.

I've actually had ATT and verizon(and alltell too)

I've had people switch from sprint to T-Mobile.

They couldn't bear the dropped calls on Sprint.

Plus they were extremely satisfied with the TMo CS.

so um....

Sprint Sux

[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
look at this link http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-hd7-in-real-pictures-looks-great-kickstand-on-display/#more-20107 the htc hd3 is leaked in real pictures as well as the specifications which are

5mpix camera with hd recorde and matal stand

8gb on board storage :S

same 8250 processor

4.3 inch screen with capastive buttons

no thing on ram

no HDMI

i think it must be hd2 wp7 edition

and here is the source for specifications

http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-hd7-specs-leak-with-tiny-picture-we-have-a-better-one/
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
same hardware new look...**** that...ill wait for new processors and something actually new rather than just changing the shell. though its a very nice looking phone
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
a very difficult choice between the hd7 and the desire HD imo
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
only 8gb storage.......I was excited.......

not anymore.......
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
what make hd2 better is the extended sd card memory , and the dual boot , that is impossible for now on wp7 , i will stay with hd2 and wait for wp7 port , i think with these specifications we could have a good port
[HD2 General] m0bmentality:
http://www.htcinside.de/

says it will have 8g plus a micro sd slot.

But i wont be upgrading phones until i can get a larger processor and tv out at least. regardless of os
[HD2 General] Sylpheed:
same hardware.... i was expecting a 1.5 snapdragon or something.... if that's the case wouldn't it be easier to port it to HD2?

THe only diff i see is the backend of the HD7 vs HD2. HD7 has a stand.. Can't someone just make a HD2 backplate with a stand, doesn't that = HD7?
[HD2 General] souljaboy:
not so difficult cuz the desire hd has a better gpu (adreno 205 instead of adreno 200)
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
agree...da_g and few other devs working on WP7 port for hd2...so rather stick with that till i see some new hardware...the only things that would make me consider buying a new phone is slcd,new processor,better camera,tv out.

and the HD3/7 probably only has slcd...so 1/4 = :(:(:(:(:(:(
[HD2 General] OrionCarl:
if thats the best they can do, i will stick with the HD2!
[HD2 General] Ross202:
??Quad band UMTS

I wonder if it will be quad band UMTS as well as GSM, like iphone 4 - a true world phone. Would be nice
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
the graphics drivers avaliable for windows is much more better than android , so with this old processor the hd3 will perform even better than the desire hd
[HD2 General] enyaj:
I sincerely hope the hardware specs are a joke. Or HTC just wants to surprise us all with a bang. :) But if true, its not much of an upgrade from our beloved HD2. And I think that would be crazy.
[HD2 General] Faelok:
As if I didn't hate apple enough already. :mad: Now they have driven M$ into forcing HTC into making crap devices with a locked down OS, non-expandable memory, and the mind-numbing loser-friendly approach where it doesn't matter how hi tech a device is; it only matters how well you can market it to the technotards that don't know what a microSD card is and think that facetime is a groundbreaking new technology that never existed until now...

Seriously though! It's looking more and more like the HD2 is the last phone I'm ever going to own...

/rant
[HD2 General] antaed:
looks like buying my hd2 back in november last year was the best ~500 euro i have ever spent... :D:D:D
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah - couldn't agree more. So a year down the line they've decided to release pretty much the same phone.

I think my comment here covers my feelings...

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news6256.html
[HD2 General] PHOENIXROSE:
HD2 -> Evo -> DesireHD -> HD3/7???

really sticking with a theme HTC they all basicly look the same with minor differences. just like.. oh yer iphone
[HD2 General] superjjskate:
I dont like the design.... I like HD2 better simple and doesnt look like it has been designed for like idk umm 2 weeks?
[HD2 General] jsmith_00:
Same as HD2

Its true it the same spec as the hd2 with just windows mobile 7 so will we get a good port very quick = i think so yes
[HD2 General] rr5678:
And the HD2 is the last HTC built WinMo 6.5 phone ever made. So sad to see things going the way of the ****Pho--------I mean iPhone.

Damn right it was. I may have paid $489 for my phone, but it was sooo worth it in the end :p

wildfire. All i have to say.
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
I had a x10 but sold it and got a wildfire.

The x10 is nice but no custom roms at all as the bootloader is not cracked. Also the x10 has a 4" screen but no multi touch, which for certain stuff suck, i use the snes emulator for example and it is unusable on the x10 as are most good games. The wildfire is very moddable wearas the x10 is not. Lastly the wildfire is close to getting cyanogen rom for it, it will never happen on the x10 and wildfire is close to getting froyo and the x10 has not even got 2.1 yet.

Its upto you but for me the wildfire is much more versatile then the x10 will ever be(imo)
[Wildfire General] leegreggs:
Cheers for that .....widfire it is then .........

[Wildfire General] Wincik:
I vote for Wildfire. I'm pleased with it. :)
[Wildfire General] thearif:
This little phone (wildfire) is just amazing. Today I visited a local store to see what is available. There were many phones from Nokia to Samsung, including the wonderkid Samsung Galaxy S. I dont know what it was. I knew Galaxy S had all yhe bells and whistles but I would not get it to replace my wildfire. Maybe it was the size, or the touchwiz overlay. But I am very happy with my wildfire ..

So I recommend wildfire :)
[Wildfire General] kerman19:
Me and the other half upgraded a month ago, She got the Wildfire and I got the Desire, I have to say, they're both epic devices.

Her wildfire goes a couple of days without a charge and does pretty much everything with ease, and hopefully with 2.2 around the corner, things will only get better. All in all it's a great little device.

I'd recommend the Wildfire over the X10 a) Because I've used the Wildfire a lot, and b) I've not heard great things about the X10 and I've also read on here how much of a pain in the arse they are!

Phil

[Captivate General] Citznfish:
Take this for what it is. One person with a stock captivate phone who had problems.

He claims he didn't stop the update half way through the process or anything like that.

He was asked if this update included 2.2...

comment from someone else

he was asked to check here for help...
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
I can attest to the update bricking. I did cancel the download half way to turn on wifi and figured it would be simply restarting the download, but instead it started installing what was there and it stated it was going to restart so I let it and then nothing happened...tried taking the battery out and tried getting into download mode to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?
[Captivate General] tytdfn:
Yeah call att. Sorry bro looks like its dead dead
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
the poor guy did call AT&T. It's at the top of the post. They said they weren't responsible.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
He spoke to the wrong person then and should call back. Mine is broken also, and it's past the 30 days, so all I could get was a refurbished one. Better than nothing. I'm never doing an OTA update again. Flashed my phone upwards of 20 times and if something messed up I could alway reset to download and re-flash.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
This.

I went to the warranty and repair center in my area (dunno if everyone has one?) and they have ordered a new (refurb?) captivate for me. As long as it works and isn't too beat up, I don't really care. I'm just sick of this E63. lol
[Captivate General] NFauteux:
is the internal 16gb an internal memory card? Maybe if it is, you can pull that out and rebuild the whole OS of the phone through another source such as a card reader.
[Captivate General] Raazer:
I tried the update on my phone. It's rooted and set up for sideload as well as a few other hacks.

However, I only bought my phone about 3 weeks ago. The update has failed 4 times for me, then i checked the existing firmware on the phone. It's already at I897UCJH7.

Take it for what it's worth.
[Captivate General] A-Rob:
Mine is totally stock and it was also bricked last night. I tried everything to fix it but it is completely dead. I tried the update last night and didn't interrupt it at all. The progress bar made it to 50%, stalled for a minute and then gave a message that the update failed. It tried to restart and it went completely dead. I've tried using Odin, but nothing happens. sin

I also called AT&T and was initially less than pleased after I was told to call Samsung for a possible fix. I told CS that I didn't buy the phone from Samsung and that I wasn't calling them, since it was an AT&T problem. I finally got someone to authorize a return and my new one should be here in a couple of days, but the fact that this thing was totally bricked so easily because of an official update is ridiculous.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The only updates out there is JH7/2.1. Bricking phones while OTA update to JH7 is nothing new. Just check all the JH7 threads. Stay away from OTA updates for now.

You won't get 2.2 OTA update until weeks after it is talked about all over the place.

So within the last two days I have been having problems with my phone coming out of sleep mode, just to give a little more information when i hit the power button to turn the screen on and go to unlock it, the screen doesn't respond and fades back out. The task bar stays on at the top for about 10 seconds as well. SOMEONE please help lol. I've only had this phone for about a week and this is very frustrating. (phone is rooted btw)

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
If you're having touchscreen malfunctions, then you should exchange it. You've had it one week, you can do that. I will say though, the screen timeout for the lock screen is 5 seconds long. As in, when I wake my phone if I don't touch it, five seconds later it fades out again. It sounds like you're having more serious issues however mentioning the notification bar staying on the screen like that. I recommend you look into exchanging it. Make sure you restore it and unroot it before you do that.

Unroot thread
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwon:
I was just wondering if anyone had these issues, it didn't appear to do it the first couple days I had it, and I've installed a ton of apps since then. I un-installed some things today and it seems to have subsided, i'm still wondering if anyone else has had problems like this. It may have had to do with a task manager, but i can't be sure. Any insight is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
To use the Wired Tether for Root you need to have a kernel that supports CONFIG_NETFILTER/CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and/or RNDIS, right? Anyways, I have found a lot of ways to patch kernels, but they are for the G1.

Are there any EVO kernels that support this? Or any better ways to use a wired tether? I am aware of PDA net and others like that, but I'm trying to use this on my xbox. I was using Wireless Tether, but I can't get more than 1mb down.

Any good suggestions for tethering to an xbox?

Thanks.
