I agree with the no ad concept for a fee.

We are constantly bombarded with ads daily from every other medium so when I see ads, I uninstall.

In this case, XDA remains on my device because this is the best forum on the net, period.
[About XDA developers] l0uisz:
it still asked me to ask taptalk admin to let me etc :(
[About XDA developers] chopper the dog:
I've been searching for a thread to report or compare bugs in the app. Is there one?

good day.

******** FOUND IT ********
[About XDA developers] DotMpeg:
Didn't know ads bother people so much. Games I know, but these ads are not bothersome at all.

Hypothethical question for the devs which would make you more money someone with who buys a $2 app or someone using an ad supported app. Just wondering

Sent from my "Wheres my 2.2 Epic 4G" using the XDA App
[About XDA developers] Aphotic:
I would definitely buy it. The last thing I want to worry about is hitting the next page button and getting a 9.99 jamster charge on my bill because the ad captured my mobile number because of the app permissions or something like that. Thanks for the great app though
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
My carrier disabled third party billing to my account, but I think XDA uses a reputable source for the ads in the app (likely admob or google), who wouldn't allow someone to billl you $10 through merely clicking an ad.

But I'm sure Svetius can clarify which service generates the ads, and while it pays to be cautious, I reckon you're unlikely to get something like that as an app advert (though I am sure someone will try it some day...)
[About XDA developers] flowtec:
Very helpfull.."found it"...

I can't find the thread - could someone give me a link?

I have no access to a PC at the moment and it's very hard to search with the xda-app through all (sub-) forums by hand and also the results in the search-feature for "xda app" gives me, let me say, a "few" hits more back... ;)

BackToTopic:

+1 - Would also pay for no ads!
[About XDA developers] chopper the dog:
Sorry, where are my manners? Official xda app thread is HERE.

good day.

Thanks - my endless search has an ending... :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseone:
Does anyone know of a straight forward way to set a ringtone for all numbers that are not listed in your contacts?

I am going to try out the free app Call&SMS Filter but it would be good if there was a way to do it without a third party app. All my contacts are from Google so there isn't even an easy way to set a ringtone for all of them as I'd need to setup an empty contact for all of their names, link it and then add the ringtone there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
The only way I can think of is to set ringtone "A" as the global ringtone under settings. Then go into your contact list and then set a custom ringtone for each contact. That way if a contact calls it reverts to the custom ringtone, and if a non contact calls you get standard ringtone "A". If you have a lot of contacts that could take quite a while to do. Thats the only way I can think of doing it, unless there is some app that would do it.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
anyone having this problem stared today for my bro and i both running stock 2.2.1, and the only way to get the phone to work is to put it on 2g mode
[Nexus One General] dc211:
I didn't update mine, but I have lots if experience with t-zones. I'm using a nexus one on it now.

T-mobile doesn't care what speed you get. It would either block you from connecting or you get whatever the tower can serve you. They're is no special apn for the plan. my guess is that something is going on with your signal.

Search the forums for that phrase, you'll find the settings you need. I don't remember if it was a .com or .net.

By the way I actually get a much better download speed with internet2 vs. epc.voicestream.com

internet2.voicestream.com works fine thanks u guys
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomorrowSpace:
Description of problem: I had the Bionix 1.3 w/voodoo lagfix and OC kernel and then wanted to try the KIES v15 but it KEIS wouldn't recognize the kernel I assumed. I tried to revert to v14 through ODIN and everything went fine until it rebooted. Now it just gets stuck at the black screen after the boot animation.

I can boot into both recovery and download mode and have tried several other ODIN ROMS to see if one of those would work, but no go. Any ideas from anyone?

edit: Just tried doing the True Stock update to put it back to factory spec and same problem, still black screen after boot. The only way you even know that the phone is on is if you touch on of the soft buttons they will light up, just not do anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
You need to install Froyo ~~~That does not Brick! Downgrading Is Fine first and then install whatever ROM you want after that.

Also, there is no such thing as v14 or v15 there is JI4 and JI5 (that's the letter "I" not a number "1"). Just FYI.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomorrowSpace:
even though at the topin bold it says "Caution!!! You Must be on STOCK Vibrant Rom & NEVER Have Already Flashed the JP3 Froyo Image"?

Remember I had Bionix 1.3

Edit: No go, now I'm at the international Recovery Screen and can't go any further. The volume buttons are reversed and the power button doesn't select anything. The menu key does something, but I can't figure that out yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Bionix isn't Froyo, and neither is JI5, so flashing Eugene's Froyo through Odin should work... You might want to click "Re-Partition" when using Odin that might help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomorrowSpace:
Well, thanks anyway. What I did next was go back to the True Stock update after the Eugene Froyo you mentioned and it booted up just like normal. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[HD2 General] Eroc162:
I dont know if you guys know this but HTC is replacing the stock 16gb cards that came with the HD2 due to a freezing problem for a New Samsung 16GB Class 2 Card for FREE. Just call them up and Press 1 and then Press 2 for HD2 and speak to a representative. Tell him your calling about your HD2 freezing when your using the storage card and he will know what you are talking about. He will ask for your serial and IMEI number and your info to ship it to you. So you will have a New 16gb Class 4 and your original Class 2.

Here is the number

1(888)356-2375

Call ASAP we dont know how long this will last
[HD2 General] zmoboss:
Just called and spoke to Megan in cust svc .. she said she has been getting calls about this .. THEY ONLY REPLACE THE SAME SIZE AND SAME CLASS if needed.

I asked if i could trade in the class 2 16gb card for class 4 of ANY size.

She said no ...

z:eek:
[HD2 General] Eroc162:
I dont know who is right. The guy I spoke to told me about the class 4. One of the representatives is wrong. I will keep you guys posted when I recieve my cards.
[HD2 General] cross718:
I just called.....

Well the Rep I spoke with was a big help and she told me that it will be a 16GB card and she didn't know the class.
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Weird. Where did you hear this information? Do we have to send our current SD cards in?
[HD2 General] Ryan79:
+1

I called the number as well... was told that there is no SD Recall?
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Just called and ordered. It is Backordered as of 11:30 PST.

Here is the information I got from the HD2 Android Forum:

"Just wanted all to know, HTC has recently acknowledged an issue with the 16GB SD card that shipped with the US T-Mobile HD2. T-Mobile issued an internal bulletin to this effect and provided a US number (888.356.2375) to call to arrange to have the SD card replaced, from Level 2 to a Level 4 SD card. Alot of HD2's had the Level 2 card installed and this card was found to cause the phone to freeze. The Level # is indicated by a circle with a numeral in the middle of it. Usually on the upper right hand side of the SD card. When you call the number HTC provided they will want you to have the HD2 in front of you with IMEI and S/N ready. The unique thing is HTC has rescinded their policy to send the 'bad' SD card back so if they send you a replacement Level 4 card you will end up with 2 SD cards. (I'm sure that Level 2 card could be reused somewhere) This info is probably even more useful to owners that have installed Android Froyo 2.2 on their HD2 as I have. The ROM's are usually contained on the SD card itself and not flashed internally. HTC does indicate a backorder on the replacement SD cards (up to 2 weeks or so) Hope this helps some of you with the freezing condition."

I called 888.356.2375 and told the rep that I bought an HD2 which came with a class 2 card and its causing freezes on my phone. I then told her that my friend mentioned that HTC knows about this issue and is sending replacement class 4 cards. She said yes and then took my phone's S/N, confirmed that it is an HD2 and placed the order for the new card.
[HD2 General] stim141:
Called this morning - took IMEI and SN and said will ship the card via FEDEX in the next few days - no indication of card type - just 16Gb.

Rep wanted to know the approximate date of purchase and where. Also wanted to know the problem.
[HD2 General] smokeingit:
i just did it right now, and i will be getting my new card in 2 weeks as well! thanks for the great find and tip!!!
[HD2 General] xnifex:
Do you think the new card will have all of the apps & files that the original came with?

*edit*

that was quick & painless
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
its not a recall. you gotta say you were having trouble with the old one.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
When I first read this post, I thought you were advocating fraud. I went back and read the rest of the thread and realized it was simply out of context.

I have had no problems with my card, despite running Android on it, so I won't be calling in. This is, however, a great resource for those who are having issues.

It just goes to show what a great company HTC is in addressing this issue and making the fix available to their customers without needing a lawsuit to get them started (*cough* Apple *cough*).
[HD2 General] phantom9000:
thanks for the tip just called and they said i will get it in 2 weeks because they are backorderd
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I read about the card issue in the NRG rom thread. Lets hope HTC will address the internal memory problem that the G2 appears to have.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hello again my fellow HD2 owners :D Haven't been around this section in weeks! Good to see you all again...

Anyway, I just called the 866-356-2375 number and within 5 minutes they had me setup and a new SD card is on the way...I didn't ask about what class it is but I'll post back here when it arrives. I just told them that the card had been causing the phone to lock up and I haven't been using it as a result, and she took my IMEI and that was it.

Great find Eroc162, thanks!!
[HD2 General] vcouture:
short and simple, took only 5 minutes.

damn I love HTC
[HD2 General] ttownfeen:
I just called the number, and the CSR said they are not replacing microSD cards since it's a software issue.
[HD2 General] richteralan:
called the number and got a free class 4 replacement.
[HD2 General] ttownfeen:
What did you say? I don't understand why I was shot down? :confused:
[HD2 General] rr5678:
This is good. My SD card transfers at 1.4MB/s :eek:
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Call them. They're gonna make you give in a credit card number and then you have to ship your old card back to them (at your expense).
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
I just called two days ago and they didn't ask me for a CC#. I really hope my order goes thru.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Did they give you a "backordered" excuse?
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
Yep. The lady that I spoke with said that they were on backorder but that my order was fine and they'd be sending it out as soon as they got more in.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
That's what they told me.....until I called back 16 days later
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
They told me that when I first placed the order back on the 4th and again the other day when I called back to check the status of it.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
You just have to get a CSR that knows.
[HD2 General] Ichibahn SLC:
I second that. Took me three calls on the same day to get one that knew what they were talking about. I got the same lame backorder story from the other ones. Anyway should have one here in the next day or two.
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
So it sounds like your saying unless I call and get someone to take my cc# the order will just sit in that "backorder" status and will never ship?
[HD2 General] KillaHurtz:
Can comfirm the A-holes are asking for a CC# as I type this. I have escalated the call asking for a superivsor. I told them its B.S. that I should have to pay anything for a known issue. Let's see what they say.....
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Exactly.

(10char)
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Called, got around that little stump. :D
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
How did you do that?
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
I second that... how'd ya do that? :(
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
My card finally arrived, sure the Samsung card seems to be more stable, but it also seems to be alot slower. What normally took an hour to copy to the old card is taking 3 with the new one. Though I only have to do it once this time, because the last card would constantly disconnect.
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
I have a couple of thoughts on this topic. HTC is a corporation. A corporations first responsibility is to make a profit for it's shareholders. I'm guessing the reason for the policy change was that lots of people were trying to get a free sdcard. The cost of replacing these cards would be huge. So how are they "A-Holes" for requiring a cc number or the old card back? Seems to me they are just protecting themselves. I, however, think that HTC should pay the shipping charges.

I have had my hd2 since July and have had zero issues with the stock sdcard. Hell, I even ran Android off of it with no problem.

Let the flaming begin...

Edit: I am not saying that there was no problems with some cards, just that some people were gaming the system.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
Though I'd never use that word exactly, it's incumbent on any company to provide the product they have promised to produce for the agreed upon price. That's the basics of contract law. The problem in this case is the customers who are suffering the most for HTC's faulty product engineering are generally the ones who enthusiastically jumped on the TMOUS HD2 puchasing it for the highest price. :mad: Tends to make for grumbling :mad: customers!
[HD2 General] aarons6:
i agree about this. i purchased my hd2 the day it came out for the asking upgrade price of 199.99 only to find it 49.99 a week later :(

i asked to see ab out the 14 day refund and they said it didn't apply unless i got a different phone.. i couldn't return mine and purchase a new hd2..

kinda sucks..
[HD2 General] DisneyF1:
Music & Albums

I tried my camcorder again last night. Albums and music are still excluded but the recorder again gave me freeze ups and horribly digitized videos.

I may go back to the smaller class 4 card and see what happens.
[HD2 General] camoko:
Had a few conversations with HTC and what i was told was that HTC is asking for the cards back, because the card manufacturer is supposed to reimburse them for the faulty cards. That makes sense, since all HTC did was put an outsourced card into our phones. They now claim warranty from Sandisk. Should we have to pay for shipping or any other costs to replace the card? Heck no, and it is definetly not right to cancel orders placed before they changed their policy. An order is a binding contract, you can't just bend and change it as it pleases you. And, btw, there is no backorder on the cards, they have tons of them sitting around. So if they tell you they don't have stock, hang up and call again and demand that they honor the contract if you ordered before the 11th.
[HD2 General] sheffy7_0:
i just called today you have to send in your old card before they will send it too you >.< o well
[HD2 General] Ichibahn SLC:
Call again. You'll probably get a different story.
[HD2 General] web3221:
1 it is not a class 4 card it is class 2 - same as original

2 new corp policy, you must go through tech support, and you must send your old card in for a return sd, and tech support must approve transaction
[HD2 General] e-zzy1:
I JUST ORDER MINE! they asked me for my CC# and they charge 1$ for I dunno What! and they said I have to ship mine back once I get the new one or else I'll be charge on my CC.

I think even though they ask you for a CC# is way better than sticking with the one have once I recive it I'll post it here
[HD2 General] d0ug:
they probably put a "pending" $1 charge on your card to verify that it was a valid card and not maxed out. Most gas stations will do a "pending charge" of upto $75 on your card as soon as you swipe it in a gas pump. to verify you have enough funds to potentially cover whatever you might pump out of the gas pump. As soon as you stick the nozzle back in the pump it will cancel that pending charge and then charge your card for the amount that you actually pumped into your car.

Try it, if you have a card that pretty much updates your credit limit in realtime, my AMEX clear card does. before you swipe your card, logon to your CC mobile accounting site and check your limit, swipe the card then refresh the page. then refresh again after you finish your transaction
[HD2 General] tooter1:
My SDcard died, it won't format or anything and, it only saw it as 340mb.

So I called and got a replacement sent and, it was a Samsung 16gb Class 2. Preloaded with everything.

You will have to ship your old one in first....if you don't want to pay for an advanced shipment.
[HD2 General] tiptronicv1:
Original SD card

i bought my phone from a 3rd party, and i was wondering what the original sd card in the HD2 was? eg make, anything that would allow me to know that the original user didnt change the card.

thanks.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
SanDisk, Class 2, 16G. :(
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
LOL, I just received an e-mail from HTC informing me that my order was cancelled and that I could call and place a new one under the new rules per the change in policy...
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
I placed an order for new card long-long time ago (beginning of October). And now I just got a call from HTC telling me that if I want my card I have to send them old one 1st or give them CC#.

What was interesting is that HTC guy told me that they DELAYED my order on purpose to make sure it goes according to new card replacement policy !
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
Sounds like they did the same thing to me. I ordered mine on the morning of the 4th and it was either that evening or the next day when they implemented the new policy.
[HD2 General] EPgoat:
The same thing happened to me. I told them that no one informed me that i had to send in my card and that I had already thrown it away. The lady said she would still send me one because I was never informed about sending in the card. I didn't have to provide a cc#
[HD2 General] muyvago:
My HD2 was intermittenly freezing up during startup. Recently, it was doing it everytime I turned it on. Google search led me to this thread, and I contacted HTC and ordered a replacement MicroSD. I got in about 5 days of ordering it, using their advance option: Credit card # given.

Yes, I recieved the Samsung MicroSD. Sadly, it did not resolve my freeze up issues.

I then installed the HD2 updated ROM 3.14, and voila, no more freeze up. My HD2 seems to run smoother and a lil faster too.

I'll be returning the OEM microSD tomorrow, 11/15, so as not to incur the $80 charge.
[HD2 General] camoko:
it was actually a week later on the 11th
[HD2 General] sukru:
I'm slightly new to HD2, and also to this discussion.

I bought my phone on eBay, and it case with a class 2 SanDisk card. I assume it's the original one that came with the device - it had all the goodies in it.

Anyways, shall I be worried about this card, and try a replacement? Or will it work normally?
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
That sucks. They should have let all of the orders placed prior to that date go through under the old policy then. I guess it was only those lucky enough to have their cards shipped before they went on backorder that got the freebee.
[HD2 General] Marne Jr:
Freeze solved !!!

Hi guys,

I will let my experience here...

I had a very specific kind of freeze tha happened about 3 months since the last hard reset.

This freeze occurs this way:

- Someday (i don't know how and neither why...) when my phone restarts after about 2 to 5 minutes it freeze if still on any sense screen... and nothing works, except for push windows button that make it goes to start screen... On windows screen if I wait more than a minute to do something it freezes again and I need to push windows button again, then I can go to my folders and run any program...

- sometimes it just freezes if I push lock\end button and when I try to slide the unlocker it freezes and the only thing that works again is the start button.

- If I restart my HD2 without the memory card inside I never get any freezing at all...

- The solution: I deleted (on storage card) the "HTC" folder (in the "application data" folder and every file called "device" or "album" or "thumbnail" on storage card. On restart the phone create new files and foders like that, but the freezes disapears !!!
[HD2 General] tritran18518:
called the number and got the card replace too :D ( don't know what is class yet ? )
[HD2 General] phantom9000:
i just called the number in the first post and told that phone keeps freezing because of the memory card and they said they will send me a new one
[HD2 General] zmattmanz:
They are apparently closed on Saturday? Call T-Mobile who seemed to have no info about it.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, this is straight through HTC, seems they're finally acknowledging what we determined here months and months ago lol.

Same as the other successful callers above, I just told them that my SD card was locking up my phone (freezes with it in, works fine with it out), and she apologized and got my info and had it on the way in all of 2-3 minutes.
[HD2 General] firebert:
i'll give them a ring also
[HD2 General] supreme40cal:
Will definitely call them in the AM....(they're closed on sunday)....
[HD2 General] Nismo300zx:
i called up yesterday and didnt have any luck...gonna try again today..aside from imei and s/n number they were asking what rom version im on
[HD2 General] Chitown021:
I'll have to give this a try later today.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Called today (Monday). No waiting and whole process is 5 minutes.

They asked about IMEI/SN, where/when I bought it and what is the issue. I told that my phone freezes a lot and I read that it is common problem with included class2 microSD cards. Asked for class 4

Provided name/address. CSR told me that it will be shipped FedEx Ground (5-7 business days). Provided me with confirmation#. CSR was not aware of what class it will be.
[HD2 General] martymoat:
Called today. i had to go over the story with 3 individuals. First was the customer service rep, then bounced to the tech dept, then to the accessories dept. Finally they took my info and said they would ship me a class 2 card. The last guy i talked to said they could not ship a different card *class 4* because it would effect the warranty of the phone. after all that i didn't even bring up my wife's Hd2 im gonna have her call and see what happens.
[HD2 General] NicholasM:
Called this morning, new sd card is on the way by FedEx. Thank you so much for the info.
[HD2 General] Nismo300zx:
i just called up for 2 hd2's and and they both got cleared for the new sd...=) just gotta wait for em to come in theyre backordered
