[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brunswick000:
Hello all. As a prospective HD2 owner I just wanted to pose a question or two in regards to the changes that have occurred to the phone now that you're all happily running the latest and greatest custom versions of 2.2. I have an X10 and sadly for me, i'm still running 1.6 :confused: Needless to say the idea of being able to dual boot Win Mobile and Android is pretty cool. And from what i'm reading, you'll all be flashing android directly in the not to distant future.

Anyway, my question is in regards to hardware and apps. The first is the camera. In initial reviews of the HD2 the camera had some issues with funny "hue's" showing up in the photo. Some would look pinkish. And the other question is in regards to video recording. Again, initial reviews state that switching from camera to video was laggy and jumpy and that the video quality itself was choppy, and well, sucked. Has any of this improved with the jump to Android? Will it be possible to record at 720p like so many other phones are doing now?

As far as apps are concerned have there been any issues with media apps like MixZing, or Meridian? Any here using Vignette for the camera? How do games play on the phone now? There are a multitude of multitouch games out there that are currently beyond my reach with the X10 (lets not get started on the multitouch debate). If you hadn't guessed i'm looking to use this phone primarily for multimedia purposes. Just don't want to waste my time with another device that leaves me wanting just a bit more. That being said I can get my hands on one for very little so recouping my $$ via resale shouldn't really be an issue.

Thanks for taking the time to read this novel and any help / suggestions are appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] panosg1977:
I can only answer your question about recording in 720p. AFAIK, 720p recording is not yet supported in any kernel tree. I also don't know if hardware-wise it is possible to record in HD. I don't really use my HD2 for multimedia purposes so I really can't tell more at this point.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hourst2:
Can anyone tell me where the wallpaper images are located on the Vibrant? I think they may be stored within the TWLauncher but wanted to confirm.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
You are correct they are in TWLauncher
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hourst2:
Thanks! I suspected that. Appreciate you responding.

[General Questions and Answers] Spacedllama:
Hi guys, Sorry If I am in the wrong section but I am looking for some help, To check my balance my network (2 degrees an nz network) requires you to call *100#*1 it then sends a message to your phone with your balance. Alternatively I can call *100# then a menu pops up and asks me to either input 1 for balance or 2 for topup. Once I input 1 and press ok I get USSS error service not supported. I am looking for a way to get around this. So i have a few questions.

1. Is there a patch for this available for windows mobile 6.5?

2. Would this type of message count as an mms? Because I do not have that set up.

3. Are There any applications that will work on my device to keep track of balance? (customizable pricing etc.)

Phone info:

Acer Betouch E101 running WIndows mobile 6.5

WQVGA

Thanks for any help.

Also yes I have tried speaking to 2 degrees, They weren't too helpful.

Does it not work with Sense ROMS or what? It never does anything for me. It always says I have no cache or I already cleared it. What gives?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REYES702:
+1, I'm curious of this myself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
I see far more disadvantages to using it. Maybe its a blessing that its not working.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whewstoosae:
It's never worked for me with Sense or AOSP.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soopafly Incredible:
Same here. It always tells me that it was done recently or no cache found. Sense ROM here also.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmall82:
Yea I just uninstalled it. I don't think there is any major advantage...but I could be wrong.

When I used it on my Droid X i could tell it worked pretty well. Especially after using the phone for a few hours, different apps, games, ect.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Never worked for me either. Works wonders on my wifes eris though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfd9999:
I use 1tap cleaner...of works fine for me. I'm running skyraider 4
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris7os:
Won't do you any good on any android 2.1 or higher phone. It was useful in the earlier days of android, but is of no use as the the OS handles cache just fine and installing cachemate will only slow your phone down.

here's an interesting post to get you started:

[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
Please help, this is very annoying... everytime i restart my phone, it sets my phone back to the original wallpaper i cooked in, and changes all my display settings back to default... For example, I set the screen to turn off after 2 minutes, and after restart, it has set itself back to 10 seconds......
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Try with a task 29.
[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
Will do.

Just for verification, you did note that this was occuring after soft resets, not hard resets, right?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Check your startup queue first.

Did you jack with your xip, and remove any modules you shouldn't? (Cachefilt on line 9, lol.)
[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
I dont believe so, but I will double check some things i had replaced from a newer ROM (HD2) and see if that fixes it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
Hey guys,

Gonna try explain this best I can. If I need to be corrected or any blanks filled in then please let me know :-)

Basically, I had around 25 images that were taken a few weeks ago when my family visited from New Zealand on my SD. I thought to be safe, I'll move them to a folder on the root drive so popped onto root explorer, made the folder on root and copied the pictures over (well moved them actually).

Now, issue is I stupidly named the folder (in my wisdom god knows why I chose this) 'PICREC130910'. I do understand the name of the folder is fairly irrelevant but thought since I'm asking for a hand, best explain myself best I can.

Now, again in my wisdom, I was browsing about using root explorer and somehow managed to delete that folder (let's blame working 14 hour shifts for that wonderful mishap).

I tried a recovery using various deleted file recovery softwares on my SD using the computer, but to no avail. It finds the image names but when I recover them it only recovers a non readable file that every viewer I've tried can't see. this might be because I had just before deleting root folders, put about 6gb of music on the SD so probably overwritten the pictures.

Anyway, because the root is generally less written to than the SD I'm hoping they're still in a recoverable state so to put my question out there... is there a software that can do a similar recovery search but on the root drive? Would really appreciate any help cause I only get to see my family from nz about once every 5 years.

Thanks for reading guys,

Pete
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBSS:
What recovery software have you used?

One I have tried with great success is Recuva.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
I used that and another one, can't remember the name just now but my issue is how do I search the root drive?

What I'm looking to do is somehow mount the root drive to allow a windows based piece of software search it or alternatively find another way to do so using a terminal to show all deleted files so I can find these pictures somewhere.

Hopefully (and I'm asuming..) the internal is a similar structure to the flash-based memory system in the SD card and therefore as long as it hasn't been overwritten, should be recoverable.

Would I be right in this assumption?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
Nobody help here?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macr59:
Sorry dude, but i am pretty certain there is no software available that would allow you to recover deleted files from a Mobile Phone internal memory. I can only suggest that you remove your SD card and connect that to you PC and see if you can recover any pics direct from the SD. You will have to use an SD Card reader as it will not work if you connect the phone to the pc.

I personally use Recover My Files. It always works for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Have a look with THIS, worth a shot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
First off can I offer my greatest thank you to all those that have replied so far. I'm avoiding installing or deleting a thing until I know what I can do with this.

Isn't mounting the phone to the computer (Ie mount SD card) the same as putting it into an SD card reader? Higher chance of it working with a reader?

As said, it can find the image names, just not the images (ie recovers a non readable file!)
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Ok obviously we don't have any now, but I wanted to get the ball rolling.

The only rom I personally would like is a vanilla one with all the google stuff not pre installed!
[G2 and Desire Z General] PolishDude:
I want the Desire Z rom, never played with sense, would like to try it out
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I want a Gingerbread ROM. What's the hold up guys?? Come on already! hehe

Seriously, though. Vanilla, pre-rooted 2.2.1 with tethering/hot-spot would be sweet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tep065:
:) Cyanogen Rom pls
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Desire Z ROM please, rooted!
[G2 and Desire Z General] RaffieKol:
Just Got My Phone And Its A Really Smooth Phone.

I have have The G1, MT3G Slide, and now the Android G2.

The G2 is way smoother then all of the rest.

I would just like all the google crap removed.

I want CyanogenMod and be able to tether
[G2 and Desire Z General] f231f:
Vanilla is fine with me, I just want root to run Wireless Tether
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
Usb tether(not pdanet) would make me happy, that's the only reason I root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Just got my phone yay. But I don't care to much for roms just want root for now. And I love how the phone feels not to heavy not 2 light
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
All if you guys think like me :)

@tubaking

Usb tether is cool, but why not wireless tether like the one that's available on the google codes page?

@PolishDude @SuperDave81 @RaffieKol

If I could try the Desire rom with all the bloatware removed, I'm game because I absolutely love sense. I went and downloaded Beautiful Widgets along with Beautiful Live Weather just so I can somewhat emulate the HTC Sense Weather/Clock :)

@f231f

I am definitely feeling a vanilla rom, no google stuff unless I want to install it and root so I can install Wireless Tether from google :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kylez64:
Can't wait!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ceas909:
I don't think this will please the devs... first off posting this here in the development section wasn't the best choice. second you'll get whatever ROM the Dev decides to make.. stop asking for this and that... right know the focus shouldn't be on what you want in a ROM but to get the phone rooted first.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eleeo037037:
I would really like the sence rom on this baby IMO sence works better for me. But tethering is a must
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
If this was the wrong place to post this then I apologize and would greatly appreciate it if a mod would move it to the correct section. As far as the developers not liking what is being said here, they don't have to do it. This forum isn't one dictating what they should do, but merely what we would like to see done. Regardless of what they put out, people will flash their roms. I seriously don't think that they would get offended over what was said here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ceas909:
I never said they would be offended. These Dev's do this on their free time and starting a thread asking for what people want in a ROM for a phone thats yet to be rooted is not to bright. Focus on rooting the phone first, because with out root devs cant make roms for it. From what Ive seen some Dev's start to feel unappreciated when people ask for so much, some people don't understand that this isn't the Dev's day job. its a past time activity for them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
Plus, apparently they are time travelers!
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
I never said it was their day job nor did I say it was something that is owed to us. If developers have issues with us saying what we want in a rom, they wouldn't ask us for our suggestions and heed them when we make them. So you, who aren't the mouth piece for developers, should let them speak for themselves concerning their feelings about their roms. And for you to say that me creating this post about what people would like to see in a rom isn't "bright", well that remark wasn't bright seeing as this is an open forum and I can create topic(s) about anything I want so long as it fall under the sites guidelines. If you have an issue with what's being said here, then don't post here. If you have absolutely no desire of anything specific in a rom, then why waste your time coming to a post pertaining to that? If your a mod, then delete the post, if not, then I am going ask that you stop posting comments that don't pertain to the topic at hand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jamsk8er1994:
well how about that sexy desire z 10second boot time, on a modified stock g2 rom with the usual cyanogen speed increases that we always get and tethering.. anything else can be done with an app or home replacement, this phones plenty fast.. once we get rooted, overclock to 1ghz and just wait for faster roms lol this threads pointless as we dont even have a root right now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mistabroadway:
I second this. T-Mobile over did it with it seems EVERY Google app pre-installed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
You are speaking the truth. I turned on my device and there were google products that I wasn't familiar with. I actually made a google folder and dumped all of them into it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Hey people want the "Google experience" right?

lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] groit:
Im trying to figure out what features the Sense ROM is nescesary for
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Well I personally liked the sense dialer and the weather/clock widget full screen animation. I downloaded a reasonable replacement that does the animation on the full screen. But its just not the "sense" ui.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nabzilla1990:
Htc sense is a beast waay better than stock android especially without tethering
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
The gmail widget is pretty slick as well. I am still trying to find a decent replacement in vanilla, but to no avail. I would like to add some "sense"to vanilla.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kevin jack:
Still have not bought mine yet waiting but using the phone a router is nice.. Have a HD2 Froyo 2.2 and chunky win rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
Where do I get this gmail widget?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
This thread is pointless until we can actually write to the eMMC.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
I wouldn't mind running the sense ui with a few bits from cyanogen. That would really have my phone fly like a G6.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
earlier in this thread someone mentioned usb tether capability pulled from the google codes"

can someone point me - i'm running Paul O'brien's visionary, and curious to try it vs the pdanet app -

tks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] innerlight:
I know part of this will not be about rooting, but I called t-mobile earlier about the hinge problem with the g2 and I talked to this chap and he said that t-mobile probably sent pre release otas to a selected few (not trying to kick up the one post about the ota) so when they finally release it is possible that wifi calling and tethering might not be the only things added. If anyone still has the original plastic on the g2 can anyone else see 3 small holes in the phone? One at the lower right where the back arrow is, one on the top right and one strange hole at the top left that looks like a bulb.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Talk about a late response, but the gmail widget I was taking about is exclusive to htc sense.
[HD2 General] jsfengine:
Ok so I wanted to change the ROM because the ROM that I had kept reseting the phone and freezing and so i decided to change but when I picked a ROM and loaded it, it will not start just stays on the start up screen. Any Ideas?
[HD2 General] motoman234:
This happened to me awhile back, it was caused by a corrupt download. But it could be numerous things. Do you have a T-mobile US HD2? What ROM did you flash?

It could also be caused by flashing a ROM not designed for your phone. Thats how a lot of people get bricks. A little more info would help.
[HD2 General] jsfengine:
yes sir i have a TMO USA phone and i tried to use of KUMARS TMOUS C5 Premium.

So do you think that if I just Flash the phone with a ROM that works this will fix it?
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
First, make sure it wasn't just the task29 that you performed

Second, go into bootloader and try flashing Kumar's C5 again using a different method (from sd or activesync).

Third, try formatting your sd card to FAT32 if you're flashing from it.

If none of that works you can just try a different ROM or even a stock shipped ROM.
[HD2 General] motoman234:
Yeah that exact same thing happened to me awhile back. I guess it was caused by a corrupt download or something of that sort. All i did was go into bootloader and flashed a different ROM from the SD that i know for a fact works. After that, you will be fine.

Just use Mskip's guide

Flashing Via MicroSD Card

NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. If you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)

2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
[HD2 General] S3BAZ10:
helllo im having this issue also, i just a refurbished tmobile leo cuase my old one the screen stoped working i hspl to 2.08 then i flashed NRGZ roms which we all know work perfect on TMO, i gt stuck on boot screen after a few resets phone goes through fine but later on it freezes i restart again and gets stuck on bootscteen again ive done task 29 flash via sd card via a diff comp tryed other roms and stock rom and still no luck i am waiting on another replacement tomorrow and see how it goes.
[HD2 General] motoman234:
So after you flash sometimes it will let you boot fully into the ROM? And everything works until it freezes again?
[HD2 General] S3BAZ10:
yes first boot up it goes fine, i test it out by doin 3 resets prob after the 3rd one it stops working it stays on the bootscreen for ages, then il do more resets and some times it will go through but after 10sec of being done it will freeze and have to repeat until it works again. this happens even when everything is on STOCK ive done task 29 flash via sd card through everything... :(:confused::mad:
[HD2 General] Blairware:
Try this?

Did you try reformatting the SD card, or trying a different SD? I personally have never done a Task29 Via SD, not even sure of the process, though I do one via Active Sync before every flash. Sounds like a defect in hardware, if not the SD, then the phone. Hope the replacement solves your issues, else look closely at the SD card.
[HD2 General] jsfengine:
Ok so I am so confused, when I flash the phone am i supposed to leave the SD card in the phone? If I just went and bought a new SD card will this fix it. I flashed the phone with a ROM that works and it works for a few days and then freezes then I have to start all over. What do I do this sucks. Is anyone in the Austin texas area that can help me?
