Financing

If you did the no interest financing plan with the electronic signature you can go ahead and figure you aren't going to get the phone and might want to try the store. I preordered on the 25th and selected financing where I had to respond with an electronic signature through email. I did it, it recorded it and then I never got confirmation. So, on the 27th I got on the cs chat to find out what was going on and they told me it never went through so after 48 hours the order had cancelled. So, cs put it through for me again and I tried validating with e sig while I was on chat with them and they said it still wasn't coming through. I said eff it and I placed a 3rd order and instead told them to bill me all at once...no financing. Once I did this, it went through immediately, I got confirmation, it shipped out that Monday and I got it on the 29 th. So if you are trusting that the e-sig went through, forget it. Their system is seriously screwed up.

I bought mine at the T-Mobile store yesterday afternoon here in IL. They had the demo units with pricing out, so I figured they were selling early. I asked and the guy said they weren't on sale until Wednesday, so I told him I'd go across the street to Radio Shack since they were advertising it on sale as of Sunday 10/3 and buy it there if he really wanted me to (I have no clue if they are or not, just repeated to him what I read online lol). He got a bit flustered and said hold on, checked the computer, and was like "hmm, they're in here today, I guess we can sell them". Put it on the finance plan since I'm already in contract, 10 minutes later I was walking out the door with it :)

i pre ordered on the 30th. i check tracked it on ups and it says that it will be delivered today!!! so by the time i get off work it should be there!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon C:
I checked my 'reference number' (phone number without the dashes, I believe?) last night, and was able to finally get my tracking number that T-Mobile failed to provide.

The device is currently being shipped to me, and should be here in a few hours. :D

The only downside to this - besides T-Mo dropping the ball a bit with shipping time - is that I'm super sick. :(

Enjoy your phones, guys. Here's hoping my hinge isn't loose.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramainli:
Same situation with me. I ordered on the 2nd and was promised a tracking number first thing Monday the 4th. Turns out their system is slow and I found my phone through UPS reference number tracking, it was shipped yesterday and should be here in a few hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadizzle79:
10/04/2010	11:17 P.M.	BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

10/05/2010	7:10 A.M.	OUT FOR DELIVERY

Just got this info today via ups website....i cant wait :)....I'm in SOCAL too...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoswede:
Ordered while sitting in evening rush hour traffic on October 1. Could never bring up my tracking number by phone number reference. Called T-Mobile today, and the rep gave me the tracking number. Will be delivered today. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon C:
****ing loose hinge. That figures, doesn't it?

This is ridiculous. The screen flips up if I even tilt the phone at all. It also closes shut if it's titled at all.

So much for this being an 'exaggeration'.

Looking forward to RMA... :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drgnclwk:
So I mentioned that I called in yesterday and was told it hadn't shipped yet. Furthermore, that it should ship today or tomorrow via UPS ground so it would take about 5-7 days to arrive.

Now, I just searched through UPS reference tracking (good call on that btw) and saw that it shipped today via next day air at 1:16 AM and is out for delivery as of 7:42 AM. :)

If only I didn't have class all day today, haha
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smthkat789:
Yess! Just got mine 2p in Az.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadizzle79:
Using my g2 as we speak, just got it today.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
Got mine as of 5:51 :D loose hinge and small space but its ok. The hinge dangles but i mean its not something I'd die over
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramainli:
Got mine around 1PM. No loose hinge but only 1.2gb of available space.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihateusernames:
I pre-ordered mine on the 30th online. I recieved the tracking number Saturday. Tracking showed me recieving it on the 6th. Ok. I was a little upset that I could now purchase it from the store but whatever. Then last night it says it arrived in Phoenix at 7:49PM. I'm thinking I will get it on the 6th. Cool. I wake up this morning to find that it says "exception - adverse weather" on the tracking page with UPS. Now I wont get the phone until tomorrow, maybe. I call UPS and ask where my package is and I will go pick it up. She says she doesn't know where it is. I said it is in Phoenix. She says to just go to the Phoenix location and pick it up. I ask her if she knows how big Phoenix is as there are 7 locations within 25 miles of me. She tells me she doesn't know where it is and I will just have to wait. Fine, whatever. Go back on to UPS.com a few hours later and a new status is available, Exception - Adverse weather again. I don't think I will ever get the phone.

I have decided that pre-order is not for me. If I would have waited, I could have picked up the phone 5 days ago. That's just my luck. I am now using a moto flip piece of junk because my wife broke her G1 and I gave her mine as I expected to get my G2 yesterday.

Sorry, had to vent.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishybob:
Same thing here. Was supposed to be delivered today. I checked status this morning and it is stuck in Phoenix due to adverse weather. Won't get it until tomorrow, if I'm lucky. I never called them as I'm sure the phone is at a sorting center and cannot be picked up.

Hope I get it tomorrow!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
You could ask for a tracer but it'll take a day to find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihateusernames:
yeah, I'm over it now. Just needed to vent. I will just wait and see if it comes tomorrow.

Next issue will probably be that they need a signature and will try delivery at noon because you know people don't work and then I will have to set up will call and won't get it until Friday.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minotauri:
i got mine at my door when i wasnt home. i have it setup so i dont need to sign, though there are certain cases where signature is required no matter what... but this didnt seem to be the case.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] baronfrost:
Hello, does anyone know of a good music download app for the HTC HD2 that works. I was using Siclors which was working great until the new version came out that doesn't work on this phone and the old version stopped working. :(
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
I am curious why is this not possible to easily port ATT froyo rom to run on Vibrant (well if possible then probably not easy) ?

They are the same phones, same hardware, etc.....
[Vibrant General] smutek:
One would think, however, FROYO does not run on a commodity operating system but instead requires a computationally distributed version of Fiddlefark Version 7.2.

We implemented out the partition table server in Simula-67, augmented with opportunistically independent extensions. Our experiments soon proved that instrumenting our Vibrants was more effective than distributing them, as previous work suggested. Along these same lines, we implemented our FROYO server in Depildoo, augmented with extremely exhaustive extensions. We note that other devs have tried and failed to enable this functionality.

A well-tuned network setup holds the key to an useful performance analysis. We executed a simulation on our Internet testbed to quantify O. N. Nehru's deployment of Captivate FROYO. Had we prototyped our Vibrants, as opposed to emulating it in middleware, we would have seen duplicated results. We removed 150GB/s of Wi-Fi throughput from our mobile telephones to better understand the effective NV-RAM speed.

We then removed more RAM from the KGB's 2-node cluster to consider our system. Next, we removed 3 RISC processors from our Vibrants to quantify the change of steganography.

In the end, we removed more optical drive space from our scale overlay network to disprove the independently relational nature of linear-time symmetries. The results were not promising.

End-users of Silonia development models, as applied to the Samsung Galaxy S, agree that unstable symmetries are an interesting new topic in the field of noisy FROYO lust theory, however, all research concludes that it is not possible.

I hope this clears things up.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
Maybe the lack of source code has something to do with it.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
And that's about it.

Except for the radios, the two should be pretty interchangeable.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
The issue: You go into menu -> wireless & networks and check the box for 4G. You watch it say "Turning on..." for a while, it looks like it does something for a split second, and then it turns off, and the box is no longer checked.

I just resolved this by accident (for myself anyway, ymmv) and I haven't seen this issue/resolution identified here yet, so here you go.

Are you using switchpro? Remember the issue where it would turn on 4g on reboot? Well, that was resolved in the most recent version, but it looks like the widget is still broken as it relates to 4g.

It looks like if you use the switchpro widget to toggle 4g on or off, it works fine and will scan for networks, and stay connected. But if you try to turn it on through menu and wireless networks, it turns off immediately. Also, if you turn it on through SwitchPro first, then you can turn it off and back on through wireless networks, and it will keep connecting fine,until you use switchpro to toggle it off.

Wierd, huh?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgjensen:
Thank you! I was having the same issue and couldn't figure it out. I don't have 4G in Denver so I've never seen it happen yet. I'm visiting in Orlando and was trying to test out 4G when I came across this issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkcpsal:
holy cow thanks for posting I wish I would have got to a computer sooner to do a search I did a nand restore after flashing myn rc4, then still had issues, flashed again and it worked until I restored my apps and was getting ready to go through one by one. I am so relieved lol thanks a lot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I had this same problem before as well but for me it was System Info Widget causing the issue. It only happened when I restored it with Titanium. If I redownloaded it from the market everything was fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I had the same issue I did a nand restore and it fixed the issue than flashed to the rom I wanted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbiff:
Thanks OP. I didn't realize you had to exclusively use switchpro for 4g. It was driving me crazy the last day as I tried to figure out which one of my 96 apps was causing the issue! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t.o.m.:
Thanks OP.

Just had the same issue creep up on me. This solved it.

Yep. Plastic, for sure.
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
I just got off the phone with the repair guys at HTC and they assured me that the HD2 from USA T-mobile is in fact the T8585. All parts are compatible.

I know alot of people are confused when trying to fix parts. so remember

T8585 = USA HD2 T-Mobile
[HD2 General] xnifex:
isn't the T8585 the EU version?
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
T8585 is NOT the US T-mobile version it is the international one
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
Not at all sir, HTC Repair team told me that the T8585 is the USA version
[HD2 General] Paten:
Yeah, that's why Otterbox makes different size cases for the US version and European version. Cause they're the same. Maybe the repair guy was telling you whatever he wanted to because he didn't really know and didn't want to take the time to look up the facts for you.
[HD2 General] thebest1:
The TMOUS HD2 is T8585 and the European HD2 is also the T8585. both are them are the same model #. :)
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
all the sites that sell the T8585 state that it is not compatable with t-mobile 3G

because it is

size:

120.5 x 67 x 11 mm

157g

3G

HSDPA 900 / 2100

HSDPA 850 / 2100 - Australian Version (compatable with AT&T)

the T-mobile HD2 is known as the T-mobile HD2, not the T8585

Size:

122 x 67 x 11 mm

157g

3G:

1700/2100 bands- not compatable with AT&T and some European carriers who use 900 band

after seeing the Desire HD... was hoping that was what the myTouch HD was gonna be. but of course TMO screwed the pooch on that one I'll just stick with my slide till they decide to put out a decent big screen phone (won't touch the Galaxy S after the screw job I got with the BH2)

spec wise for the most part it seems promising but why the hell have an HD screen and camera and then put it on a screen under 4 inch

HELLO,Everyone

I have a problem that my Sprint6875 can't Write T9199 radio.Is there someone know how to modify the radio that can cheat 6875 let flash radio.I belive that flash modify radio can let 6875 use UIM Card,If you know how to do,please tell me what to do.Thanks very much!!!
[Android Software Development] elmerendeiro:
Very intresting, thanks! The update problem should be fixed with the next release, no more custom UIs and mods from phone manufacturers,at least google said that
[Android Software Development] simonta:
Excellent post and quite agree with you. The other significant problem looming is the granularity (or rather, lack thereof) in app permissions which can cause problems you describe without bugs and exploits. I install an app that does something interesting with contacts and also has internet access to display ads. How do I know that my contacts are not encrypted, so making sniffing useless, and beamed back to mummy? Nothing other than blind trust!

I love Android but it's an accident waiting to happen unless the kind of changes you advocate are implemented and granularity of permissions significantly increased. I don't like much about Apple but their walled garden app store is something they did get right although IMHO, they also abuse that power to stifle competition. Bring out the feds!
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
I agree, although I'm not sure that less experienced users might have difficulties with such options.

Sad but true. I'm just curious what Google will do when the first problems arise and the first users will have groundshaking bills.

If that happens to just a few users, it'll get a kind media coverage Google surely won't like.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I've seen quite a few android exploits posted on bugtraq over the years. It's a high-volume email list, but with some filtering of stuff you don't care about, it becomes manageable. It's been around forever and is a good resource if you want the latest security news on just about anything computer related.

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/description
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
People are bashing a lot about the Android security model but the truth is you can never have 100% protection with ANY solution.

Apple is not allowing any app in their store. Fine. but mostly they are only filtering out apps that crash, violate some rules or they just don't like them or whatever. but they can never tell what an app is really doing. Therefore they would neeed to reverse-engineer every app they get etc. That's just impossible considering the amount of apps....

Speaking again of Android. I think the permission model is not bad. I mean, no other OS got such detailed description about what an app can do or not. But unfortunately it can only filter out very conspicuous apps, i.e. a Reversi game asking for your location and internet access. But then you never know... if the app is using ads it requires location and internet access, right? so what can you do?
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
Not really, they do blackbox testing and let the apps run on emulated devices they then check if the app "behaves" as desired...
[Android Software Development] simonta:
Of course you can't get 100% security and I don't think that's what we're saying, but there is a lot you can do.

Take for example internet access which is the biggest worry I have. The only reason most apps request internet access is to support ads. I now have a choice to make, don't use the app or trust it. That simple, no other choice.

If I installed an app that serves ads but did not have internet access, then the only way that app can get information off my phone is to use exploits and I'm a lot more comfortable knowing that some miscreant needs to understand that than the current situation where some script kiddy can hoover up my contacts.

However, if internet access and ad serving were separate permissions, you could in one hit address, taking a wild guess, 90% of the risk from the wild west that is Marketplace. With a bit more design and work, it would be possible to get the risk down to manageable and acceptable levels (at least for me).

I absolutely agree with you on Apple, one of the main reasons that I chose a Desire instead of an iPhone, but the Android approach is too far the other way IMHO.

Just my tuppence, in a hopeless cause of imagining someone at Google paying attention and thinking you know what, it is an accident waiting to happen.
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
Well, so why did a tethering app once make it into the appstore?

Also I think there are many possibilities for an app to behave normal, and just start some bad activity after some time. Wait a couple months until the app is spread around and then bang. Or remotely launch some action initiated through push notifications etc.

If there is interest, then there is always a way....
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
I agree that a seperate permission for ads would be a good thing.

But there are still many apps which need your location, contacts, internet access.... all the social media things nowadays. And this is where the whole thing will be going to so I think in the future it will be even harder to differenciate.
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
Getting back on topic: I just read that Windows 7 Phone will get updates and patches like desktop windows. That means patchday once a month plus when urgency is high...
[Android Software Development] GinoAMelone:
But, how do you distinguish them? Today, (as a developer) I can use any ad-provider I want. In order to distinguish ads from general internet access, the OS would need one of:

A Google-defined ad interface, which stifles "creativity" in ad design. Developers would simply ignore it and do what they do now as soon as their preferred ad-provider didn't want to support the "official" ad system or provided some improvement by doing so.

An OS update to support every new ad-provider (yuck^2).

Every ad-provider would have to go through a Google whitelist that was looked up on the fly (increased traffic, and all ads are now "visible" to Google whether Google is involved in the transaction or not). This would also make ad-blocking apps harder to implement since Google's whitelisting API might not behave if the whitelist was unavailable. On the upside, it would make ad-blocking in custom ROMs be trivial.

Even if Google did one of these things, it still wouldn't provide any real increase in privacy or security. The "ad service" would still need to deliver a payload from the app to the service (in order to select ads) and another from the service to the app (the ad content). Such a mechanism could be trivially exploited to do anything that simple HTTP access could provide.
[Android Software Development] twztdwyz:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

issues submitted are reviewed by google employed techs... they tell you if you messed up and caused the issue or if the issue will be fixed in a future release or whatever info they find.

probably not the best way to handle it but its better then nothing.
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
Knew that bug tracker, but the free tagging aka labels isn't the best idea IMHO.

You can't search for a specific release, for example...

Ack, but I think Google can do _much_ better...
[Android Software Development] eirh:
Two more things to have in mind:

1. I doubt that many Android users bother much about what permissions they give to an app.

2. Using Google to sync your contacts and calendar (and who knows what else), is a bad, bad idea.
[Desire Themes and Apps] titoodj:
Only i have 1 thing to say... THANX! THANX! THANX! THANX! THANX!

EDIT: One question. What is exactly the LPP_Shortcuts and how I can install? Thanx
[Desire Themes and Apps] ClassicalGas:
They are shortcuts to a different home screen when using launcher pro (might need the plus version). Extract them to your "download" folder of you sd card then either long press on the homescreen and select shortcuts - launcher pro shortcuts or, as I do, long press on your launcher dock and change the shortcut of the item to the corresponding homepage you want to go to.

With my setup the far left dock item should be linked to screen 6 with the far right linked to screen 2. Fill in the gaps. Screen 1 becomes a hidden screen this way.

Hope that helps!
[Desire Themes and Apps] titoodj:
Thanx maan! Now i have other question! xD I dont know how can i put the Wallpaper as you. You get in the center and the 1 and the 5 homescreen with the circle of the wallpaper full, but i dont get this, or the circle is not in the center or in the 5 or 1 homescreen only i see a middle circle.. I have 5 Icons Row in homescreen and I dont know if this can affect...
[Desire Themes and Apps] BoSib:
That looks übercool!
[Desire Themes and Apps] ClassicalGas:
Should just need 6 homescreens.

In launcher pro;

Menu > preferences > homescreen settings > number of screens > 6
