Out of the box HD 2 is a pretty awesome peice of machinery. Depending on what your doing with it, depends on the results you will get. If your web surfing, streaming media etc. it ultimately depends on the area you live in or how great the WiFi signal is. Start tweaking and changing themes,Roms, skinning things you will start to lag slightly. Sometimes the keyboard lags...when the phone is doing alot of other things or things have been tweaked...Adding excessive programs or changing the registry will more than likely cause slight lag. The media player is great, although some prefer to use a third party app for this and everything else. It does what it says it does and it does it well. The more you add to it and or change things the more you will notice bugs and lag....When it comes to smartphones its like this.....when you first get it, its always faster than your last. But usually does the same stuff as your prior phone did....just quicker. After excessive use and tweaking you will find that you want something faster and better looking....kinda like getting a new girlfriend, at first its fast, exciting and fun...but soon you will lose interest and see something better and then upgrade.......Overall though I LOVE MY hd2..but i loved my touch pro 2, and my G1, and my Shadow....(sigh)....If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

HD2 is Windows, Desire is Android. Go with the operating system you want. All Hardware comes with it's share of issues and the HD2 is no exception. If the "perfect phone" existed, we would all have it...

If you ask in an HD2 forum, you're going to get an HD2 owners answer. Go with the HD2. Hell, I have a copy of the Desire Android on my HD2, so you could say I have both phones in one.

Hi,

I know that the Desire HD builds contain the new HTC Locations app. Can this tool also be downloaded and run on other Android builds, if yes, is there a link?

Thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scottishdude:
no as far as am aware its only included in the desire hd rom, dunno if they would be able to port it to another android build, you know the guys and gals on here they are pretty niffty at getting things to work, you probly find that they will concentrate on developing the hd desire rom rather than porting things to other builds, i think it will be highly unlike you'll see it in any of the other builds, they might do it eventually for froyo, as its only on sense just now.

-Can anyone tell me how to do that & can anyone tell me how to get my power on sound to play for as long as the sound file is?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
AT&T World Phone screen can't be changed, it's not part of the system area of the phone, it's actually ingrained MUCH deeper into the device- no one has found a method for removing it, and I know the brave souls on the I9000 boards have had some real legitimate bricks in the process of trying to figure it out.

As for the PowerOn.wav, I'd imagine it will only play for as long as it takes the phone to boot and no longer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhsperc:
Thanks for the info.

On the Power On sound it plays like 6 seconds, then boot takes another 5-6 seconds but it cuts the sound off, which I have not been able to find a settings file for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Hmm I haven't really played with it... there might just be a hard limit as to how long sound is available during boot- heck the system might wait x amount of seconds before proceeding. A lot of different things are initializing when the phone starts up, stands to reason that perhaps it reinitializes audio at a certain point before the OS starts

I would firstly like to thank everyone here at these Forums ever since my first HTC Touch that I flashed over to MetroPCS several years back these forums have proven of great help... I am once again stumped and need some help.

I have an EVO with Froyo 2.2 , Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 Rom & Radio Baseband 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI 1.77 I rooted and flashed it over to MetroPCS everything works, talk, text even wifi .... The only problem is the mobile network does not turn on it says - Mobile Network "Turning On" and appears grayed out. I have double checked all my settings both in CDMA Workshop and QPST, and haved tried every trick I have seen in every forum.. I already called MetroPCS and made sure its not a issue with my data plan or my account.... Can somebody please help me fix this issue I don't know what else to do... ???

did you ever find a fix for this? because I'm having the same problem now. I haven't made any changes to the phone since the last time it was working, which was earlier today. Now it says 'turning on' under mobile network and it's grayed out. already tried rebooting the phone - didn't help.

Mobile Internet stuck on "Turning on" on my Evo

Even I have same issue after undating my rooted EVO (with unrevoked) stock rom (OTA 4.0) with 2.15.00.09.01 Base BAND to 3.70.651.1 (OTA 7-ROOTED) with 2.15.00.11.19 Base Band. After this the phone was running OK for 3-4 days but then suddenly the Mobile Network "Turning On" issue cropped up . Then I installed EViO 2.0 series latest rom and for 2 days the problem disappeared. However, it again appeared making me flash MikFroYo 4.5 rom. But to no avail. The Mobile Network is not connecting at all. It is just showing "Turning On" when enabled eiher throught settings tab or from power button. But it can only be closed by power button. The details of my software is as below:

Android Version : 2.2

Base Band Version : 2.15.00.11.19

kernel version : 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

build number : MikFroYo v4.5

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychobilly:
I have since figured it out it was related to some QPST settings that had red lines in it and even though i clicked in the text box and it appeared to be taking all the settings i was programming it required for me to click some other button the ctrl i believe in order to get rid of the line and be able to program the settings in correctly. I have since gotten my phone to work perfectly. In my experience any issue you have after putting a new ROM is just because it wasn't properly wiped search these forums their is an all in one wipe or manually use the recovery to wipe everything before putting a new ROM on. Also if any pay attention to the recommended baseband, radio and or kernel for each ROM. Also read each ROM details as some have specific purposes like MetroDroid ROM. I am currently using Myn's Warm Z Two Point Two ROM on my EVO on METRO PCS and it runs better & faster than any other ROM I have flashed so far not to mention the interface is sleek and clean.

but i didnt like how the font styling was it didnt seem to fit the phone and was hard for me to read.

is there a way to change just the font styling

i would think it could be as simple as changing the fonts folder with the one from CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA in the zip and reloading the rom

but im sure its not that simple

any thoughts?

[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
I am looking to buy a used captivate soon and I had an alarming thought..

To make purchases from google market you do have to enter credit card info..

So what if someone bought the phone, installed monitoring software on the phone, turned around and sold it.. They could break even on cost.. *AND* if they were lucky when someone else went to use the phone.. they would get the cred card info of that person..

And on ebay/craigslist... its not like you could pin it back to the person very easily..

Assuming I bought a phone and master reset it would that fix any possibly problems? I know in windows you reinstalling the OS will usually wipe just about anything out..

However, I know that if you have root.. on a phone you can do far more.. I don't know if having root would be enough to put something on the phone that could not be gotten rid of with a simple master reset.

I am sorry if this sounds paranoid.. But, I am a comp sci major.. Software security isn't my specialty.. but, I am hoping to dev for phones soon and think this is a pretty fair question, since the information is handled differently in linux (and I suppose now android) than it would be on a comp running windows xp for example..

I am asking because i know even after a master reset some things linger on most phones... so if someone installed a keylogger of some sort.. would it be able to survive a master reset?

x.x
[General Questions and Answers] 12paq:
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean the're not after you.
[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
Lol... Let me put it this way.. I once read an article hear with some one talking about how he doesn't want "google knowing where he is" and "google reading his mail" ect ect ect.

And I understand privacy concerns.. but, he was well.. reaching the point of flat out goofy.

I am asking based on what I perceive to be a valid fear looking at it from a logical perspective.

If someone installed some sort of keylogger for the phone, would it be able to survive a master reset?

I mean I know that whats on your sim card is not usually deleted.. and I forget if this phone has dedicated or removable memory or some combination of both..

However, assuming its a 16gb removable.. You could hypothetically install it to the flash memory.. If its not removable.. I am less certain how that dedicated storage is handled on phones. I know that you generally format a hard drive before installing an os.. or it gets partitioned off..

So if a logger was installed onto the dedicated/removeable memory would it be partitioned off and allowed to continue working?

If I didn't see valid cause for concern I wouldn't be here.. But, I'm sure the devs around here know more about this and can give a good answer! :D

If this is all coming to my mind... I'm sure some crazy cracker out there has already thought of and either created/working on implimenting it.
[General Questions and Answers] flyboyovyick:
google will nevr read your mail. google is your friend!

if you have a virus on it or think you have, plug it in your computer and scan with av software.

i don't think that a virus could survive master reset.

and why are you worrying about this? ive bought second hand phones before and they have been ok.

try eBay.
[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
You don't seem to have read my thing properly.

What I am trying to say is I have read an thread with a guy who was paranoid google was going to read his mail ect.

What I am saying is I'm worried about a second hand person creating a virus.

I could be wrong but, plugging the phone into a computer would do absolutely nothing as far as antivirus protection if I'm worried about protecting the phone.

The reason why is because anti virus protection only picks up virus's it is designed to pick up.

It is designed to pick up viruses that are a threat to computers.

I would imagine that computer anti virus software would worry about a different set of exploits than a linux based phone.

Making scanning with a computer completely useless.

[General Questions and Answers] TheATHEiST:
Pretty silly thing to ask really.

obviosuly if teh key logger was cooked into the rom then a master reset wont do sweet FA as it would simply be re-installed with the rom.

As mentioned your only way is flash the phone with a fresh rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reycharlesconrad:
Hi. Just a few hours ago while I was on my way home, I was browsing some news feeds with my SGS and I noticed some lag so I thought of restarting it, but to my surprise.. it was not booting anymore and it was stucked displaying the "S" screen then after a while it will go black although the buttons are still lighting up but there is no response or any activity in the screen and the only way to turn it off is to pull out the battery.

Upon getting home, I browsed the internet to find similar cases with most of the suggestions on how to "fix" this was to bring it back to Samsung Service Center and I'm not ready yet to do that so I dug in deeper to research. I just want to share the steps I have done to UNBRICK my almost Semi-bricked SGS.

First of all, my SGS doesn't have access to the 3 button mode recovery (Volume up + Power + Home) thus basically leaving me helpless because I cant reformat my phone from there and worst, in this case, my phone wont even boot up.

Secondly, it was fortunate that i had my phone rooted prior this.

Now, the process:

You should atleast have:

* KIES installed

* Android SDK

* USB Cable

First thing I did was:

* Connect my phone to the USB cable

* Turn phone on

* Wait for KIES to detect it and for windows to install necessary USB drivers (my phone was detected by KIES even if it was hanging in the "S" screen)

* When everything is done, go to COMMAND prompt in windows

* Locate where you initially placed the ANDROID SDK then Tools folder by typing it, example: (C:\Android-sdk\tools)

* when you are already in the right folder type in ADB REBOOT RECOVERY

* Check your SGS and it should be rebooting to the RECOVERY MODE wherein you will now be able to select format options

* move your selection by pressing up and down volume keys

* confirm your selection by pressing home key

* then reboot again and presto.. your phone should be up and running again

Anyway, if you cannot access the recovery mode by using the 3 button process, it could probably because your operator intentionally locked this feature out. There is a fix I found from XDA that works search for : 3 button mode fix

Hope this helps and drop me a message if you have queries.

By the way, i'm trying to restore my apps again so ciao for now.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you forgot to mention something

You must have USB Debugging mode set to enabled before hand, before all of that happened, else if you simply plug the USB cable to the PC with the 3 button disabled, there is no way for it to accept the ADB Reboot Recovery command

The next best thing is as many have commented before

It's to use a hair drier to heatup the phone to get access to the 3 button recovery, for those that got stuck before installing the 3 button recovery fix
