[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
That article is probably the reason there have been three bumps for this thread since it was published.

I've decided that I may have to abandon Android for that phone, regardless of Nokia's support for it (or lack thereof). The best part is that you aren't confined to either GSM or CDMA networks. The radio supports every possible frequency, as far as I can tell.

And anyone who complains about the hardware not being up to spec hasn't seen the hands-on videos. It looks so smooth. Plus, the N900 is still holding its own after 2 years.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSAgent:
I'm on sprint and I saw the radios, but I somehow doubt it could be activated on any US CDMA carrier. If it can though I think I'd give Meego and the N9 a shot

Does anyone have the stock amazon mp3 apk for the Epic 4G? i am unable to update without it. I keep getting errors. thank you
[Epic 4G General] NotATreoFan:
From the Epic 4G dump found here.
[Epic 4G General] a_c_s:
I am having the same issue with the update as Amazon MP3 is the only program I removed that appears to be bloatware from Sprint... I installed the APK in this thread and still get the validation error when trying to update... is there anything I need to do with this file in particular to fix this issue? Any advice from an expert would be greatly appreciated... Thx

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awenthol:
Has anyone else noticed this? I stuck the hosts file (forget from who) that blocks almost every single advert on the web (similar to the one AdDfree Android uses) and I swear it's eating up battery trying to resolve the hosts?

The best battery life I've ever gotten happened to be at a time when I had the stock file in the directory.

I haven't had time to thoroughly test this theory so I'm asking for opinions or experiences. Was it coincidence? Is there a timeout on the ads?

Via EVO on XDA app...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Honestly, this sounds quite ridiculous, which is probably why you haven't gotten much "feedback". But if in fact you are sure that the addition/modification of this file must be responsible for your battery's sudden short life expectancy, I'll verture to guess that your hosts file is blocking needed routes to resolve large swath's of the internet. In short, your client applications spend an inordinate amount of time pounding on libres to make their desired connections - more frequently, than not, in vain. Point being, your hosts file is bad. Don't believe me? Rename it, and use the default.

I currently own, and maintain the largest "blackhole" on the internet. I can tell you from experience, that you must start small, and continuously monitor arin delegations. This is not a simple task. But is crucial to having a good block list - no matter how small. It takes but one ill placed IP to completely hose the entire process - really. So, if this seems like too much trouble, I'd advise using a well trusted/well maintained list from somebody else.

Here is (Desire Z) System Dump, help working on it.

Hi everyone! Here comes a Desire Z dump

http://www.multiupload.com/5RSGRQFATK

This is NOT a flashable zip file.

It is a file collections for ROM Dev.

This is Dump slimdizzy gave us,

so all

credits for porting it and make it work goes to slimdizzy, thanx man!

He made a dump of the device but would like some help to make sure no personal elements are left since the device was being used as a daily use phone. The dump is about 300MB big. All he did was put busybox into /data/local, chmod it to 755 and then tar'ed the /system directory.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Imperial.mack:
I can't wait for a stable release!! XD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xghostyxjokerx:
hey if so how could sonone make a rom from dumps or such??? if able could someone link me or guid me how to customize or links....please...thanks!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wdfowty:
Uhh...well, you'd need to unpack the system directory, place it all in an update zip, write an update script (or updater-script w/ update binary), sign it, and flash it. It will not work on any devices though without some (or a TON) of modification.

Good luck.

Attempting to correlate data on the relation of the loose hinge issue to the wrong NAND size issue being reported by forum users. Love to get some input on your experience if you have a G2 in hand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robertgibson:
I got mine today and have the NAND problem, but my hinges are just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theclueless:
my hinge is loose, but i have a problem of holding the phone upside-down in a way that the hinge will open itself
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeybot:
Somewhat loose hinge(if upside down) and not 4GB
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarBird87:
mine g2 is loose on the hinges and i only have 1.22gb of memory
[G2 and Desire Z General] SupremeBeaver:
i believe the phone has 4GB, but the rom installation is taking much of this space, leaving only 1.2GB for apps. Well its like that for the Desire HD anyway..
[G2 and Desire Z General] AndreasA88:
Would be nice if someone could post a video demonstrating the loose hinge problem. Does the screen stay put when the keyboard is out? If the hinge swings open when you drop it, woudnt that make it more fragile?
[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
I wish it were so, but the output of /proc/partitions shows that the internal NAND is only 2 and change of which ~1.2 is accessible. Please see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8396242&postcount=25 for more detail.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
I'll post it to YouTube after work if nobody beats me to it...
[G2 and Desire Z General] SupremeBeaver:
yeah i read that thread after i posted here. If HTC really did screw up and put the Desire Z NAND in the G2, then then that's really poor and careless of them. I'd be pissed if i owned a G2.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
as more people get them we will see what is going on with that, if someone would come into my store and ask what was up i could call CC, or someone else could call and ask what the issue is with the hinge/storage. i refuse to believe that the ROM takes up that much space, and with the partition breakdown i saw in the other thread this could be an issue
[G2 and Desire Z General] exile20:
I don't understand. Isnt it vanilla 2.2? How much space does it take up on the N1? Shouldnt it be the same or close?

[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
I wonder what complete abortion of logic led to the OP thinking that a loose hinge might have any connection at all with internal memory. The hip bone's connected to the... brain bone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Well, regardless of that, it's nice to see how many people are suffering for loose hinge disorder and if anyone's happened to get a 4GB version.

how about a video of a "solid" hinge? Mine is "loose" I wanna see the difference. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianandamy:
Agreed video please
[G2 and Desire Z General] Droidz:
There is no "solid" hinge they will all do the loose hinge thing, its a hinge without any springs or anything to hold it back, in other words the Z Hinge is free floating, that's why when u put it upside down like in the videos, the top screen basically floats because of gravity. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mcp2009:
My hinge is "loose" here's a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vg9sFOzX3g I think its actually fine though no problems unless I hold it in a awkward way, but ill go to the store on Wednesday just to see if theirs are similar, but other then that I'm pleased. Besides the non 4gb prob

Just got my exchange replacement and hinge is solid on this one. Doesnt wiggle like my first g2 and doesnt fall closed or open when tilting the phone. color balance is much better as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
I would return it, I remember hearing the hinge was "designed" to be loose.

Who knows what a tight wad hinge will do to you while you sleep.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonnybueno:
Im thinking about it, im a little upset i didnt get the dead pixel feature this time around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkjuan:
I did the original pre order. My hinge was fine at first, but the more I use it the more loose it seems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I am on my third G2 and they all have had loose hinges. Not to bad without a case but with a case the keyboard just slides out in the pocket and if you pick it up off of the table it just flops out. I am reluctant to give up on this phone but as each day goes by I find more and more issues developing with it. random black screen freezes, poorer and poorer recepton and the list goes on. This could be a fantastic phone. Not sure what I will do as I have 12 days left on the last replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
Sucks that your having these problems. The hinge is probably my one and only problem. I certainly wish we would all have the same quality G2 so everyone can enjoy it and not give up on it. I'm on my 2nd G2. My first was flawed with the screen flicker when brightness on 0. I exchanged it at radioshack without any hassle or any fee. They tested it and everything.

Shiit I even asked to see 4 different g2's because I thought maybe I can get a tight hinge... but no. The hinges seem to be like this and all tight hinges are either a defect or a loose hinge in the making.

My 1st g2 started off loose but not crazy loose like the first vid but after a week of use it got there. My 2nd G2 which is what I'm using sinced last Sunday (so going on a week) started less loose then the 1st but is already loosened to that stage. It's bound to get loose but it doesn't bother me much since the way I grip my phone makes my index fingers keep the screen top in place without a wiggle or anything.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Anartic:
So does anybody know if the phone is designed to have its hinge like that? I asked T-Mo on the online chat and they said they would have to see it in person to know. I looked at a dummy phone at Radio Shack and the hinge on that was pretty solid. I'm on my 2nd G2 now and I'm considering going to replace it today before i go to work
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
All dummy phones have been solid for me too. But those are dummy phones not real. None of the real deal have been solide and I have touched and played with 5 different ones.

[G2 and Desire Z General] :
The g2 I messed around with at the store was real, and the hinge had resistance to it and was "solid".
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
NO, I got the loose hinge one too smh, such a great device but such a poor built quality specifically on the hinges, why the G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] davbran:
So I talked to t mobile about the storage. It seems that the internal storage is partitioned. In one of these partitions its the full os which will house the update os when it updates. My theory is the second os partition is like the restorepartition on some home pcs, so it will go back to stock when modded. Just a theory. On hire they're using it, but I was pasted the notice in t mobile help chat.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Right, it would be absolutely crazy to think that there might be some correlation to a bad batch of phones that have both problems!

In all seriousness, the trends of the votes could have implied how common/uncommon the problems are and if one usually implies the other as well. It would be interesting to see if, over time, the votes towards no problems started to become greater in quantity. I don't think he's suggesting that a lose hinge would actually cause less addressable memory or vice versa.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Return the phone and don't look back. December will see a slew of new Android and WP7 devices, anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Just out of curiosity, who are the 10 people who voted that they can access all 4GB? I'd like to see a screen shot of their system info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:

[G2 and Desire Z General] FinalJenemba:
Just wanted to post a little evidence to show that we did not, as some have speculated, get desire z's. The desire z has 2gb of storage and no hsdpa+, which would mean that if we had desire z's we wouldn't have hsdpa+. Well I live in an hsdpa+ area and I present my speed test results below. My phone has 2gb just like everyone else's.

I had a Vibrant for 2 months before I swapped it for the G2, and it consistently tested at 3-4.5 mbps. As you can see here the phone tested a 6mbps few times and 7.7mbps once. My Vibrant didnt get anywhere NEAR that mark, it never broke 5, and I tested both phone in the same room of the same building, on the same day (the day I swapped phones).

Did tmobile screw up the nand size? Thats entirely possible, and annoying, but we dont have desire z's. So take comfort in knowing that you DO have hsdpa+. Also note how the speeds dropped as the day went on, I think tmobile is just getting hammered with data phones.

Just a positive note for people who might be reading this and thinking about the G2. I love the phone. My hinge is loose, and would never have known it was a problem if I didn't read on here that it was. I just figured thats how it was designed, I like how easy it is to open. It never pops open on me when im using the phone in any real way. And should it have 4gb of storage like tmobile said it would? Absolutely, and they better fix it. But what should I do if I return it, go back to the Vibrant which also has 2gb of app storage? No thanks, this phone is way to good. :D

Too new to post images apparently, but here is a link.

[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
Your speeds at http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g91/FinalJenemba/_DSC2819.jpg are all within HSDPA limits BTW (14.4 mbps)... HSPA+ advertised by T-Mo is a bit different.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
So I got to play with a verizon galaxy s phone and.... :s... its internal phone memory says 1.3 gbs!!! That's also wat my G2 says, r we wrong about sayin tmo and htc lied to us???? I need a lot of explaining on this, why can't froyo recognize larger internal mem and why can it read large sd cards but not large internal mem????
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Im on my second G2. My first one had the lose hinge right or of the box. But I returned it because the back light wouldn't know whether to stay on or off, a few dead pixels, and it would freeze up on me. I never had to pay for restocking fee and probably because I know all the reps at the store and I'm cool with all of them. All i did was tell them the back light was f'd up and they didnt care about my other problems, they gave me a brand new g2 and brand new accessories. The hinge is way better it only opens like a cm, no dead pixels, back light is better, 1 random reboot. Other than that im very happy with this g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lingj:
can anyone please define the G2's loose hinge? I'm not sure if my G2 is considered as one but does have the issue of opening up when upside down and closing when held upside down.
[G2 and Desire Z General] phazedplasma:
Question....I'm content with the hinge being lose as long as its sturdy. Recently however when the keyboard is open I can push down on the bottom part of the screen and their is some play, enough play to make me worry :\

Anyone else have this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] robrob777:
3 months after

So guys, anybody bought a G2 recently? is the Hinge problem fixed?

Is it safe to buy a G2 now?

Best regards,
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
I just got a g2 from the free g2 promo, and it's a ****ty hinge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Meatek:
I just got one as well, and yes, on the off chance that you pick it up by just the screen it will hang open, but the more I use it the less of a problem it seems to be. I never used my G1 (whose spring-loaded snap could knock out Chuck Norris) laying down, so that's kind of a non issue to me. As long as the hinge is structurally sturdy, I can overlook a little looseness.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mstyle88:
Mine is way loose too. It started out moderately tight but one night it fell off the nightstand onto carpet and now its very loose. And I have called Tmo about this and they say they have not heard of this problem, blah blah blah.

I do not use the physical keyboard that much, so I have begun taping my device together. I started out w double sided tape but even without opening it, it doesn't stick tight enough. Now I just use scotch tape on the sides and it keeps it all together tight.

Its sad I have to do this and that I have to explain to people why I have tape on my phone. If there was a thin sleek case that went over the whole phone, it would be great.

Other than this issue it is a great phone!

[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
There never was a hinge problem. Its a subjective issue that was exacerbated by the fact that a lot of people went straight from DREAM --> VISION, and DREAM had a spring like from an army tank. Vision doesn't even NEED a spring, but it does have one sufficient to generally keep it from flapping.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Still with this? I've dealt with two G2s, one has a ****ty hinge, the other doesn't.

Don't make stuff up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robrob777:
In my experience it was not subjective. it was opening (waking up) by it self while I was running, also I notice that after 3 days, everytime I wanted to pick it up from a desk, it wanted to open. So I returned at the 4th day. I really liked the phone. Memory problem was not an issue for me. Hinge was. I bought it 1 week after the release in US.
[G2 and Desire Z General] george101:
am confused between desire z and hd

HD - huge size and lesser battery

Z - looese hinge, heavy

may be i should get the old desire?
[G2 and Desire Z General] robrob777:
I'll go with Nexus S, but if you prefer HTC, I'll go with the HD, battery may last for 2 days if you don't use it heavy. I have an HD2 with the same screen and same battery size and I'm getting 2 days of battery life. But Again, Nexus S is not too big, not too small, battery size looks ok. but it sucks that it doesn't have a LED notification.
[G2 and Desire Z General] philosophics:
I called customer service today right after opening the box. Loose hinge and 1.21gb available on internal storage.

I spoke with a supervisor and from what his systems could tell him, that much space being used is NORMAL! (This guy needs more training, obvioiusly) I asked if Tmobile reserved some space for future android updates and he had no idea.

When it came to the loose hinge, he actually went and found a working model. I told him how to make the screen open itself and it did.

So with their systems stating that the G2 has NO KNOWN issues and him confirming that their in house model does the same thing, I was unable to receive a replacement and I was told that I could return my device for my money back. My only option.

So it looks like us with loose hinges are screwed!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Take it up to a store. You can keep trying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
This is kind of disappointing. So basically the G2's screen will open itself if your laying down, HSPA+ speeds are lacking right now, and only has 1.2GB of internal memory.

I wonder how you can mistake 1.2GB for 4GB. Even if it was 3GB it would be understandable, but 1.2GB? Come on now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Just got mine. It's Loose and has 1.5GB. Oh well. I'll be exchanging it ASAP.

As for the loose hinge, though, it's not as bad as some of the videos.
[G2 and Desire Z General] philosophics:
My hinge is as bad as the hinges I've seen in videos.

Heading over to the store, I will update you all when I return...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Defgarden:
I ordered 2 phones, and both of them have loose hinges. I only checked the storage on 1 of them and it's definitely not 4GB (roughly 1.2GB free before I d/led stuff).

The other one I'm not even going to turn on. My wife wants a Vibrant instead...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
This is ridiculous dude. Imagine if HTC/T-Mobile really did mess up and give us Desire Z's...

Think about it. The Desire Z has 2GB of internal memory and no HSPA+. The G2 has 1.2Gb of internal memory and very disappointing download speeds.

I wonder how they would fix something this huge.
