[Captivate General] TedMcGinley:
this pretty much sums up my experience, as well. just add the HTC Pure (touch diamond 2) between Tilt and Captivate.

after several years of having to mod and tweak the hell out of my WinMo device to get it performing well and looking good , this Android device is a much welcomed change. it's an incredibly intuitive OS and easily customized.

the GPS has never really been much of an issue for me. There have been a couple times where i noticed it would get off a bit if i didn't have it on my dashboard directly under the windshield, but it's otherwise been spot on for me both before and after the updates.

i HIGHLY recommend making the leap to android. i have absolutely no regrets, even after purchasing it off contract.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Congrats on the new phone!
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Doesn't make much difference now, but I find that interesting. Of course its been a while since the Tilt was new, so it could by my memory :p, but I don't recollect any major postings about the Tilt having a bad GPS. Some most likely, but not an issue like for the SGS line. I suspect yours was bad.

Mine has been absolutuely flawless for over 3 years, and still works great. If the Captivate one worked like my Tilt GPS, I'd be delighted.

Back on topic...Veener79...good luck. It'll be interesting to watch and see how it goes for you. My fingers are crossed for you (if GPS is in fact important).:D
[Captivate General] veener79:
I have GPS in my car too. It is nice to have on the phone when you are outside the car. I think I will use it more around the Chicago when shopping and walking around there. It is very easy to get turned around at times. I only go down there a few times a year if that.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Anyone else having this ? My last phone was fine recording video in 720p but this one, I am not sure if this happened before or after the update, stops recording every time at 7 seconds in 720p even tho I have the limiter turned off for video size. I have 8GB left if internal storage as well. The camara app seems to crash and takes 2 seconds to exit when I hit the home button. Also the video it saves "cannot be played"
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
no one? Still does it.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
What mods have you done to your phone? Is it 100% stock other then 3rd party apps? Any apps that are video related installed?
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
stock, with the ATT update and Launcher Pro and some games. I cant remember if it did this before the update I got OTA.
[Captivate General] climber1872000:
I have not had any issue with video recording at all on stock 2.1, leaked 2.2 or cognition 2.2. I can only suggest performing a factory reset. Have you flashed the leaked 2.2 yet? If not you really should. It's way better than stock 2.1.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tracerit:
Apparently this app/windget is notorious for being unable to be removed. I'm rooted, is there a way to remove it aside from going through the Market (which doesn't work)?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohack99:
Go into root explorer, mount as r/w find the apk file and try and delete

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] derek2378:
Hey

Try this out

Go to settings > Location & Security > device administrator

Remove the lock screen widget thing

Then uninstall it

(Titanium Backup helps)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] derricktv:
So I have attempted this and I have had no luck.

As stated, I went to Settings, Location & Security, Select Device Administrators.

I arrived at the Device administrators page and the "Lock Screen Widget" box is checked. I click it, arrive at another menu, click deactivate, get a warning message to proceed, I click "OK." I then return to the same Device administrators page and the "Lock Screen Widget" box remains checked.

I do not know what to do. Any suggestions?

(My phone is not rooted and it is running 2.2.1) (edit: I know this is in the EVO 4G forum but I didn't want to start a new thread. I searched and this is what I found.)

[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Flash the rom from Geo in the dev section...
[Nexus One General] Fredro:
That didn't work for me sadly..

I have unlocked bootloader
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
it should say "repeat several times until it works".

If you have unlocked bootloader - just flash FRF91 superboot.
[Networking] JanetPanic:
Can someone explain on a technical level the process a modern smartphone goes through to establish the APN for a particular SIM? Does the SIM contain any information about the APN itself? I would prefer not to prejudice the explanation beyond those questions.

Thank you for any information you can provide.
[Networking] stepw:
AFAIK, vendors include a database of service providers and their associated APNs in the firmware. Once service provider is identified based on SIM (IMSI) and country/network code (MCC/MNC), connection parameters are configured based on the contents of the database.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D0ubl3_X:
Hey Guys,

got my brand new SGS on Saturday. Download + Recovery Mode were locked so I used Richthofens Guide to Unlock them. It worked fine.

Then I went on:

- flashed JM8 (via odin) -> worked

- tried to apply tayutama -> 1000 unexpected app closing errors

- Factory Reset + Data Wipe through Recovery -> same

- New Flash to JM8 (odin) -> Black screen after 2nd Galaxy logo 2 Buttons light up

- Flash to JM5 (odin) -> same Black Screen + no Access to DL or Recovery anymore :/

Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Bad timing perhaps ? :S

I found that when phone's off and connected (aka the battery charging screen) its trivial to get into download mode, its in an instant. Try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D0ubl3_X:
How I could get into it then? USB Charging is possible for me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Pull out ur battery.

Connect ur phone through usb. Put ur baattery back in. Then try download mode combo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D0ubl3_X:
Nothing...I'll take it to the service point tomorrow. thanks =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omrij:
After using the "fix" you shouldn't flash low packeges of rom

(which include Sbl.bin+boot.bin like JM5 or JPK)

this overwrite the "fix" and that is why you lost 3 button combo
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Duath:
Hi all, I've got a question. Does exist any application to export ROM from HTC TP to file? I'd like to have this ROM clean and ready to load into other TP. I need to export rom from my friend and load it into my HTC because of guarantee. I can't find oem rom for my device (polish) ERA ROM for MDA Vario IV and this app will save my ass :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izzy181:
hi all,

im using koasfroyo 2.2 v35-1. all of a sudden cant mount when i plug into computer, been researching like crazy and found something i want to try but cant find the setting on my phone. "go to Settings>>Connect to PC and verify Default connection type " dont have connect to pc under my settings menu anywhere!

anyone know where the default connection type is located in this rom?

thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Does the icon show in the notification bar that the usb is connected? If so, what I would try is using a widget to connect the usb and see if that works. Your Power Control Widget will have this settings and you should have this as it is a part of the Settings app. Just long press on your home screen and open the widget from there. If that doesn't work, then there might be a bigger issue we need to track down.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izzy181:
nothing is in the notification bar, went to a friends house today and plugged it in his computer with his cable and my cable and still nothing, just charges the phone. i wonder if last time it worked (2 days ago) i didnt unmount before i pulled out usb cord, i normally unmount before i unplug. could that cause a problem, the one thing i havent done yet is format my sd card. tried 6 different computers since it happened, same result on all.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Hmm. I actually had the same thing happen to me and I was freaking out. I used another USB cord and it worked fine. I'm not sure what happened to it, whether it got pinched, cut it with something accidently, or rolled over it with my desk chair, but yea, that was it. I would REALLY be surprised it if had anything to deal with the unmounting it just by unplugging it. I've done that more times than I could even remember. Multiple times a day for months and have never had any issues, or have heard of others. So, try the cord thing next. It's always best to eliminate problems by going through the easy and obvious things first.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
Have you ever use wired tethering or just have the app? This has been known to cause the computer recognition not to work. If you have recently use wired tethering try rebooting. If you just have the app installed remove it and try to connect.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma42091:
Yeah, try using another USB cord. The one that came with my phone stopped working at some point (I would physically connect it and nothing would happen.) I tried a few other cords until I found one that works. Good Luck!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izzy181:
Ok will try another cord tomorrow. Actually I tethered for the first time ever on Saturday night, just seeing how it worked with ubuntu. I used easy tether lite. That was the last time phone worked plugged in. Tether worked great, unplugged and moved my computer into the garage, since then hasn't mounted. But before I started this post I wiped dev & data and reinstalled v 35-1 but didn't clean my SD card.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
Since you have rebooted, and haven't mentioned wired tether app for root I don't think what i proposed is the problem. I have also had the same result from different usb cables as said above so hopefully that will remedy your situation.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrozga:
I think your phone usb connection might be to blame not the cable. Try moving the usb end while its plugged into the phone (up, down, left, right) to see if it clears the issue.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douglasmcusmc:
I has the same problem a few times after tethering but if you reboot phone and computer this should work of its not a wire problem. Also what apps do you have running on the computer when trying to mount... IE... earlier tendering programs or HTC sync

It is a bit chaos in here. How can I find the most stable android rom for my hd2? And when will we be able to replace the wm with android totally?

you are really asking to get flammed ....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] opius:
Yes sometimes the chaos is many large! I think the best android rom is sometimes. But doesn't it always? I think the many is the problem not the always!!

Hope this helps!

poor english hard to understand
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slimster:
Trial and error......best way to find most stable ROM for you....

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nichi4ov:
all are stable\best\good.... but in diferent ways

at least have respect for developers, for work done by them and as they lost time to make these builds you can even try them on each one at least for 2 3 days,then u will find it

:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshkoss:
@thatruth132 try contributing instead of pointing out the obvious to people. yes even though it's "truth" it's not your job to be telling everyone what and how to do it. As you have found out some people don't login to xda to see you post to tell them they're english is bad or you're gonna get flamed.

@OP please try the android build that fit you the best..

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? :-) ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mtl171:
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] WilliamStern:
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kylez64:
Im gonna get something to protect the back cuz it looks like it gets scratched easily
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mtl171:
like what happened to G1 and N1

aluminum scratches. alot. especially if its chrome plated. might just get a back cover. screen looks durable.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] burbs:
I'll probably just keep my eye on decalgirl.com and wait for them to release some of their awesome quality skins. I've used their product on all my handheld portable devices that they make skins for.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mtl171:
never seen their website but already loving the skins. look pretty cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] WilliamStern:
Oh man, decalgirl.com has been out for years. I remember getting a decal for my original XBOX 360 from them when I first got it. Top notch stuff from them!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] navillos:
well the desire z is the exact same so yes there will be lots more.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
I doubt only being for tmobile will make it have less accessories. I have so many cases and such for my nexus and the nexus was mostly used on tmobile but now they have it across seas. The iPhones an at&t only phone and it has too many accessories. And to ditto what he said there is also the desire z
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] WilliamStern:
I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.

Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.

All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
Uhh Seidio? The made cases for the N1 almost instantly. That is not a cheap case at all. I know cause I had a holster combo from them.......
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ew4936:
You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.

Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. :) I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] burbs:
I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] minotauri:
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.

Anyone seen something like that for the G2 yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
You shoulda kept the N1 pouch...the G2 fits pretty good in it! Snug, but good enough for me until I get some protection for the thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
Ah, damn. Guess it's time to hunt.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ACMilan07:
did you already recieve that case from daydeal.com? please let us know details as soon as you get it.. i would like a nice durable case that won't effect the slide mechanism, yet keeping it as slim as possible. i need to bite the bullet on a case soon or else i will end up scratching my phone :(
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
yea I received it today in the mail and just got my phone about an hour ago. Right now I'm restoring apps so after that I'll make a video off my nexus and put it on youtube
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
Got my case same day as phone and it's great. Kickstand is awesome too. I might by the tv out wire to test idk yet
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] burbs:
Did the US spec G1 come with a pouch? I have the T-Mobile UK version of the G1 and it came with a pouch that the G2 slides into easily.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] theglock:
im looking forward to your video review of that case :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
Ill try to do one quick today

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] HamNCheese:
I disagree.

Tons of other carrier specific phones have good accessory support. HTC Evo, Droid, etc.

Look at phones like the Desire - tons of accessories on Amazon, and no US release at all. Canada sort-of.

Since the G2 is also sold world-wide as the HTC Desire Z - the accessories will be interchangeable, and hopefully plentiful.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mtl171:
btw if you want a Nexus One pouch you can actually find them on ebay for around $5-$10 not sure if they're legit or not but they're there. though personally probably going to get this pouch.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] minotauri:
how bulky does it make? i just ordered one but i also just saw the new body glove case which looks nice too.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
It's not really bulky at all but then again that's just my opinion. I got a similar bodyglove case to the one from daydeal except mine has a clip/kickstand and is all black. I got it from T-Mobile and put up a video for that too. Here it is
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ikarma:
I like that clear case. Does it look like dust could get trapped under it over time and damage the finish?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] speculatrix:
that looks exactly what I want! I looked on daydeal website but couldn't find it. Can you let me know what make/model etc is is please?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carsenj:
Holy dead thread batman.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] speculatrix:
yeah, but I've looked on ebay and the usual mobile accessories, and google found this thread which turned up an actual instance of a case with integral kickstand.

aha, the model is "SUPA35428"... so maybe I can find a site in the UK, or who will ship to UK without costing a fortune!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] astriaos:
You know I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that Thermoplastic Polyurethane case for sale. I'm familiar with the properties of the substance, however I am curious about the quality of the mounting.

I thought I posted this before but I think the whole raid controller thing happened and it got erased so I'll ask again. I asked in the Q&A section and was told to ask here so here it is. I was wondering if there is any way possible to port the Droid X rom over to our HD2? I absolutely love a lot of features in that rom including the gallery and the scrollable widgets. I have the Droid X dump, just have no idea what to do with it. I figure the screen resolution should be just about perfect for our phones too as the screen size is almost the same. Please help if you can. Thank you.
