Haha thats one way to do it. I asked my friends if they were down to cross the border for a phone, and i got looked at funny haha. Let us know how it goes... Im trying to contact a few friends there to see if they can help me get one too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] seattleboi1982:
i did it when i bought my Milestone i got a funny look from the Canada Customs Agent, and the USA one too. was quite hilarious. i pulled the phone out and showed the border agent, he was kinda in awe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] samven582:
Are there any other places where I can buy this phone from? I do not want buy from Negri Electronics because I had a horrible experience dealing with Ryan Negri.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Funk2641:
Just got mine from Negri Electronics....awesome device. (so far)
[G2 and Desire Z General] samven582:

[G2 and Desire Z General] BriEE:
Hey guys, just noticed something strange... the screen on my wife's Desire Z compared to my Desire is very different.

I think one of ours is a SLCD and the other is AMOLED. Is there a sure way of telling? Because the boxes just say 3.7" touch screen, nothing about the type. But if you look at it, my screen looks more pinkish/bluish and the Desire Z seems more of a grey tone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
Unlocked Desire-Z on Fido is going well. htcsimunlock now dot com came through at a total of $24 (kinda pricey imo), but it worked.

Hinge is strong so far.

Only complaint is I wish I could turn on the screen by hitting the track ball instead of the power button all the time ;)

ps. VISIONary is great and was able to restore most apps from a Titanium Backup from another device!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Yeah, I had seen the spec page previously, but was hoping maybe it was just incomplete (like how the G2 did not list Band I on the T-Mobile spec page even though it does actually support it). Unfortunately, HTC has confirmed to me via email that other UMTS bands are not supported on this version of the Desire Z...

i got mine from negri. it was my first time dealing with them, and i thought they were great. they never over committed, and shipped overnight as they said. i know some have had bad experiences, but mine was perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CarlGalgano:
Be careful, last time i looked SN Traders had the Euro version (900/2100) not the NAM version. I bought my milestone from SN traders. It was pricey, but they were a good, reliable vendor as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Out of sheer laziness and pure accident tonight, I somehow messed up my phone. I was going to replace the build.prop with the one from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8417664&postcount=434 when I realized I didn't have my usb cable. Well that's no big deal, I've used ADB Wireless before so I started it up and went on my way. I couldn't get the damn prop file into /system so I gave up on it and was just going to reboot my phone anyway. So I typed reboot while in adb shell and the phone shutdown like normal... But never came back up. It vibrated to let me know it had shut down, but then right after it vibrated twice in quick succession, and then one vibrate like it does after shutting down. This continues indefinitely. I can get into recovery mode and download mode with the button combinations, but the phone won't boot back up.

I'm going to reflash JI6 and hope it doesn't fail due to the OneClickLagFix.... Or get rid of my root and sideloading.

Moral of the story, do not reboot your phone from ADB Wireless on 2.2!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Well, the re-flashing is done. It went just fine. Lost all the apps and whatnot. Guess it's time to start all over again!

Edit: So apparently, just reflashing JI6 didn't solve the problem. There were still a few quirks that came up. I said to hell with it, wiped it clean again, went back to JF6, and now I'm start all over again.

[Vibrant General] richiehd:
I posted this over at AndroidForums on the Vibrant board. I figured I would post it here too.

No, you won't be able to use this everywhere. (Unless you have a portable TV).

1. Connect your Galaxy S to a TV/monitor/etc. using these:

Amazon.com: Microsoft Zune 30GB, 80GB, 4GB, 8GB AV ( Audio Video ) RCA Cable - 4.5 Feet: Electronics

2. Go into options and turn TV Out on.

3. Go into your Video chat app. Place the phone backwards so the regular camera is facing you.

4. You can now look at the TV/Monitor to see who you are talking to while they can see you because your camera is facing you.

Perhaps you thought of this, maybe you didn't. I did it this afternoon. It's fun!
[Vibrant General] Wearespacepeople:

Also, is there a way to turn the phone into a webcam?
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Search "Droidcam Wireless Webcam" in the Market. There are others as well but this one has the best reviews I believe.

Hey, hey, hey. Be nice. Some people don't bring their laptops with them everywhere. I always have my phone and TV Out A/V wire with me.

Call this guy "MacGyver".....Brilliant!
[Vibrant General] jbacon617:
Jeez, the FFC mod is probably less trouble and less expensive, too. Taking apart a Vibrant isn't exactly rocket surgery - the parts either clip on or are attached with a small cable + clip. A novice could do it in five minutes, ten with extreme care. Hardly "ripping apart", and you can even find complete teardown videos on YouTube. Even the camera itself is trivial to install - no soldering or special tools required, save some cheap solvent to remove the paint.

But hey, for those who can't he bothered this is certainly a viable, if inconvenient solution.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Good idea

I ll give it a try
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
It's also the best solution for people who do not wanna VOID THEIR WARRANTY. LoL.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
thats just like a webcam very different from the front facing camera, the whole point of having a front facing camera is we can video chat anywhere.

[Android Themes] palosjr:
I have a theme I like. I love the colors it is using, but I wanna try something different and just changed the basic color scheme... example - I want to change everything that is currently blue to a shade of orange.

is there an easy way to do this or do I need to open up each individual .png file and change it in photoshop. I am hoping there is some way to mass edit a whole lot of files at once. Whether I use the color replace option or another way.

Leave some words of wisdom or advice. Thanks.
[Android Themes] cambunch:
Google Photoshop Actions. Essentially, you create an action that works for one file, save it, then batch apply it to an entire folder of images. I would suggest using the Hue/Saturation adjustments in Photoshop.
[Android Themes] Luggruff:
Yeah, actions are your fastest way.

Simply, open photoshop, go to "windows", pick "actions" and you get a control panel for actions. Press RECORD and then apply a colour-replacement-method of your choice and then STOP recording. You now have an action you just need to press PLAY on, in every image you want it to be applied.

You have to edit ALL images, and with actions is the fastest way. You cannot escape the simple fact that each one has to be edited and saved, individually. Opening an image and saving it is be most basic thing to editing an image, and if you want to sweat a bit, change it in between opening it and saving it...
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Just be sure not to use actions on .9.png's. Uncompile them with apktool and THEN you can use actions (But you'll have to recompile them).
[Android Themes] palosjr:
awesome, thanks for the tips guys. I would have never figured that out. My sister is a PS junkie and even she was clueless.

I knew about .9.png files, I figured things wouldnt always be as easy as they seem lol.

once again thanks for the tips... time to get to theming!
[Android Themes] Luggruff:
Sorry, forgot to mention that you have to press the "new" icon in the action window first, name the action and hit "record"

Note:

EVERY

move you make in PS is recorded (even selecting a layer!!) Think of this
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Maybe I'm just greedy since getting flash support, but this phone is so close to a pocket computer the only thing I regularly miss now is trying to open videos in emails, almost always wmv. Is it just insanely difficult to get these types of videos working on android or is it just not a very popular video file?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Not sure, but i think there may be licencing on the .wmv format. I am pretty sure the .wmv thing applies to most linux distro's before you install restricted extras. Not sure why a developer hasn't jumped on some sort of VLC like universal player. Probably more technical than i know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
just use rockplayer
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakraider:
Some of the ROM's have wmv support.. I think enom's does.. and maybe the Desire ports like eViL?

but yeah, you can always use rockplayer to play everything that VLC can, which is pretty much everything :)

[Vibrant Accessories] theodork:
you should look into Android and bluetooth HID support. A lot of bluetooth keyboards require you to use HID bluetooth profile (which is actually a pretty standard thing) but Android doesnt natively support it.

It looks like theres a way to manually get HID bluetooth keyboards to work by typing in some command switches and maybe writing a script to semi-automate it. Or there is a for-pay program y ou can download but reviews seem to suggest it may not be reliable and might be buggy.

So in short, if the keyboard uses HID bluetooth (like my stowaway/igo bluetooth keyboard) it wont work out of the box with our phones. It'll see and try to pair, but thats the end of it.

Quite sad really, as my 5 year old Dell Axim winmo phone could do it, and so does the iphone/ipad/ipod as of a few updates back...

[Touch2 ROM Development] lev30ro:
Hi everyone,

I keep getting this message "Tap here to launch TouchFLO" come up when i return from screen lock . Whats wrong, i effectively have to load touchflo all the time.

I did reboot my phone to the manufacture settings, but sill the message is coming up everytime I close an app.

The phone is NEW without any applications,(got it 2 days ago)

Did anybody had the same error?:confused:

Thanks
[Touch2 ROM Development] bib*oops:
No error in my opinion!

I believe this isn't an error, just the way things go with touchflo starting...
[Touch2 ROM Development] lev30ro:
OK,

So anytime I close an application and return to Home screen Touchflo must restar?

I think that this is wrong, and touchflo sould start only when I restart my phone.

If every Htc touch 2 is the same than it's allright, I am going to live with it but I don't think so.

Anyway,

thks for the quick responde.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Missunderstanding!

Sorry, I missunderstood you, it is abnormal for touchflo to restart everytime you return to homescreen.

Consequently I believe it's time for hard-reset, if not solved it can be some corrupted (original) ROM(:confused:) or hardware problem?!
[Touch2 ROM Development] lev30ro:
I did a hard-reset but I've got the same message everytime.

I am going to call the service center tomorow.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Ok this has happened to me twice now, after turning off my phone and switching batteries every applications except for stock ones will continually force close. I am using Voodoo lagfix on JM1 official so unsure if this is causing it. I am able to fix applications by running titanium backup and restoring the apps but this becomes tedious with the free version and I'm having issues with paypal donating for the paid version.

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm thinking maybe the issue is that I pull the battery out a second too soon and it somehow corrupts the data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellifluous:
Same problem here with a i9000b 2.2.1 Kernel 2.6.32.9

When I switch between the original and spare batteries, the first confg screen comes out (language and first options). Most not-stock apps forcing close and google maps also not working.

I've had to the factory reset twice, so i decided to do experiences. I switched many times, with and without "no stock apps" installed; after 1 munute off; just after the screen out and without switching off at all. The funny thing is that I had no problems these times, except the config screen coming when I didn't switch off before switching (but apps didn't force closing).

It seams to me that the bug happens when memory is quite full or you have made some more configurations. I will try to continue my normal use and see what happens if I switch spare-original battery again.

This is based on the files of the I9000XWJM2 release on my dutch vodafone galaxy.

Flash this csc file with odin on a JM release and it will have to work.

In the remake I9000XENJM1 release are the APN settings of the Dutch providers.

In addition, the apps Telegraaf, File Index and samsung are also provided.

Warning Currently the apps link to a url of promotion samsung, samsung does this site and has nothing to do with the operation of the apps.

Just to have dutch csc, just contains info about APN and stuff. Won't change functionality as far as I know.

Hi Lownoise,

I succesfully flashed this CSC-file (only), running I9000XWJM2.

My sales-code is back to XEN (in both Kies and SGS-Toolbox).

It was KOR, after flashing from JM1 to JM2 (don't realy understand wy, though).

The bloatware is also there (too bad, but no drama).

After using the CSC selection menu and selecting XEN, the phone factory-resets itself. So all my installed apps disappeared...

All the Samsung apps were offered and in the Market all my download APPS.
