[Desire HD General] marttin:
Couple of days ago talked to my local supplier in Beijing about when can get Desire HD or Desire Z from them. Was told after mid Oct they can get for me the phones, but for +30 to 40% the price in Europe, in mid Nov they can offer the phones "normally priced" (whatever this means)
[Desire HD General] daijoubu:
Meaning, most probably the phones will be launched in Europe first, and they'll be grey imported into Beijing for a hefty price (since there is no way you can get them besides through grey import).

Once the phone is finally launched officially in Bejing, they'll be able to obtain the phone from an authorized distributor locally, and the price will be the RRP (recommended retail price) set by the distributor.
[Desire HD General] marttin:
As I know these phones are not getting officially into China - all will be grey import. I dont believe this import will come from Europe but from other Asian locations - Taiwan, HK, Singapore, Malaysia etc. Mass supply (grey import) starts after local techie community is ready with Chinese ROM. The distributors are re-flashing the sets and then putting them on the market.

Before Chinese ROM available there will be imported only very limited number of sets - the reason for the "hefty price" in the beginning. No RRP as no official channels, but in general expect the "normally priced" phones to be cheaper than in Europe.

The funny is to get a phone with stock ROM I made a "special request order" with the supplier
[Desire HD General] kingkeld:
I too appreciate the posting. Any news about the DHD is considered relevant info. Sure, some stuff will be more relevant than other, and sometimes news will be repeated, but come on... let us all play nice, and appreciate that our friends share all the cool stuff they find about the DHD. Personally, I appreciate this thread. :)
[Desire HD General] kinglee:
For those who read chinese. This site captured quite a fair bit of the "Launch Party" in Taiwan.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dkaz46:
I was wondering if anyone knew whether the G2 was going to be getting a charging dock/stand?

I am a really big fan of the "bedside mode" that the charging dock provides.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] unxconformed:
I took a look on ebay and a few other places but haven't seen one yet. I'd also like to get a bedside dock.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cbmm:
ya, one that will charge an extra battery sure would be great
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xile6:
It would be great if they made one. I wish I could be designer I would made it metal and grey like the g2 and then cup the bottom of the screen.

Hum maybe ill try to make one :p , but if some1 finds a link post it up
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joebobjoe:
Tried my own homebrew "bedside" mode. The friggin orange charging light kept me up all night.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] InGeNeTiCs:
I've been looking at the docks for the droid2. I'll have to relocate the microusb on it, but the size looks right. I'll have to find a store that'll let me open one to be sure. Or find one on craigslist for cheap.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] androidtoy09:
I wish HTC and others start making Android phones with charging pins on bottom corners like Blackberry. That would be very nice and help preventing wear and tear to the MicroUSB port. Plus it is more convenient to just “drop” the phone in the dock stand and charge away.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ashykat:
If you find this out before I do please update. I'm interested in doing the same. I found a tear down of the original droid dock and it looks like it would be easy enough.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carlsbad0331:
My buddy has a Droid2 and it would take some work to make it fit properly. First is the location of the plug, and second issue is the plug is reversed (front to back) so it would need to be turned around also. And given the way the plug is mounted in the dock, it would require epoxying it in place, as the screw and bracket would not work.

Also, the side profile of the two fines is not the same, so the G2 will fit very loosely in the cradle. Again, some ingenuity and it could be made to work, but it wont be a quick fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pmstc:
Try a Droid X dock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cgZy6GkTjE
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
anyone know if the dock fits our G2? im not looking to get car dock but i am going to be getting this:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Multimedia-Station-Droid/dp/B0042I3J1I/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gPilott:
I went to a verizon stopre to look at that dock today and it definitely won't fit unmodified. The Droid X has a (mini HDMI?) port next to the micro usb which this dock has a connector for. It was $50 at the store I wasn't willing to take the chance of making it non-returnable.

That being said, it does look close, and if someone out there successfully converts one I wouldn't mind picking one up.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
so the charging port on the droid x is not a micro usb??? u can charge using mini hdmi?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
There are 2 connections on the droid x dock, one is micro usb and the other is hdmi. To modify the dock you would have to remove the hdmi plug and reverse the usb 180 degrees. I bought the car dock for droid x which doesn't have the hdmi plug and I was able remove 4 screws disassemble and turn the usb plug around and the G2 fit. I would think as long as you remove the hdmi and turn the usb around on this dock you could do the same?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Hosermage:
You know... I was just thinking about that... when I realized... Why don't I just get the car mount and use it as a bed size dock? It means I can place it in more places than just sitting on the night stand, for example, mount it to my head board. Since we don't have hdmi out anyway, I think the car mount is just more flexible in terms of usage and someone already confirmed that it fits.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MassimoM2:
seems HTC is observing the sales of G2 to decide whether they can make money by making a dock for G2. EVO 4G was on sale in May, it got a dock now. and they are not selling G2 many enough?

i want a dock too. it's like i need to charge this thing every nite.

at least they should make a standard. like phone should have 3 contact pin like mytouch 4G so they can make a universal dock like apple.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
G2 need something like this which is for the samsung vibrant

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D979BEGSTA
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] AZ2ENVY:
Man I hope HTC comes out with a dock for the G2 similar to the Droid X .
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] billnye1999:
check out the htc accessory store. HTC Desire Z will have a mount in December.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shibby80:
i use the droid x car mount works fine just turn the usb port around
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Hosermage:
Here's my DroidX dock mounted on the headboard. Very easy to flip the usb and works fairly well. I can take it and use it in my car if I was to go on a trip.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] seattleboi1982:
what about this one?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HTC-Desir...-Docking-Station-/250725370529#ht_1704wt_1141
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MassimoM2:
not bad. even intl shipping, cheaper than nexus dock.

however, i wonder if easy to connect usb when dock doesnt have side guide like moto above.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
i might just head down to vzw and pick one of those car dock up or just get it off amazon
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Hosermage:
Probably cheaper at amazon (around $30). Also, I found out today that the DroidX car mount can also attach to the friction-mount from Garmin nicely.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
so question about the car mount, can you remove the suction cup? i dont want that on my bed.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gPilott:
This one looks interesting, anyone try it yet?

DOCK CHARGER+BATTERY CRADLE FOR HTC T-Mobile G2 Vision

US $28.99

I just ordered this yesterday. It's coming from Hong Kong so it will take a few weeks to get here.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] the orange bandit:
Definitely report back with pics - I'm having trouble seeing how the phone would rest in this dock.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ssinisterss:
id rather have a stand up dock because the volume rocker will be un accessible if it is in landscape. the one in the link shows the usb port is for a landscape orientation like the other one. so i think it was just a mock up.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mckoy1:
Thats a good point. The only dock I would spend money on would be a dock with buttons to control the phone while the phone sits in landscape.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fallinprince:
Basically we all wish for a desk dock like the nexus one's fancy ****
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bobtentpeg:
Hey now, the N1 dock isnt that fancy! Seeing as I have one ;)

In anycase, I really am in need of a dock-like stand for my G2
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] selinab:
Found a charging cradle for the G2!!!!!!

My prayers got answered!! I hope this helps those who are looking for one of these too.

Wirelessground.com has one that charges the phone and an additonal battery.

wirelessground.com/t-mobile-g2-charging-cradle

Synchronize and recharge your T-Mobile G2with the USB Sync and 2nd Battery Charge Cradle. The USB Docking Cradle holds your T-Mobile G2 at a comfortable reading angle and provides convenient access on your desk. With this device, you can charge your second battery and your phone at the same time. Charge and synchronize data simultaneously when connected to your PC.

Features:

Portable design

Charge a second battery while you charge your phone

Mini USB cable included

Blue light LED indicator

Compatible with the T-Mobile G2 phone model.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] the orange bandit:
Yeah but by holding the phone upright like that, you have to manually plug the little cord into the side of the phone, and then rest the phone in the holder. Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of the stand?

Has anyone with the landscape mount figured out if it is able to hold the phone with that cheap black snap-on cover on it? that's the only thing holding me back.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
i think im gonna jsut grab the car dock for the moto droid x and mod it
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Lucas155:
At this point that seems like the only thing really available to us. The point of a dock is so that you don't have to plug in your phone after you put it into the dock.

Now, we need to discuss a place to find it for less than $30..... ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fryrice8850:
I believe the lowest price I found is about $26-$30 price range

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ol/B003XFG2V0/ref=aw_d_ol?qid=1291783777&sr=8-1

Then we would have to mod the micro usb and flip it the opposite side...I want to get the home dock but it has the mini hdmi port on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adudeduh:
Try this

go to thinkg2accessories dot com then click on desktop chargers on the left hand side. there's two different ones
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eatjello:
i got this one, it arrived a few days ago. but mine was from ebay.com not .co.uk.

I like it a lot. It came with a battery, screen protector, stylus, mini to micro usb adaptor, the horizontal stand, some string, and a wall charger

i probably wont use anything else but the charger, the battery actually came broken, but whatever, i already have 4. and i didnt buy it for the battery. the stylus is stupid, the screen protector is just one you get from the store, the adaptor i haven't tried yet.

the dock is nice, i really like it. the one gripe i have about it is that if you want to charge a extra battery AND the phone at the same time (it has a battery slot on the back of the dock) you have to plug in both cables. there is a USB that you can plug in, and it will charge your phone from your laptop, or the usb wall charger adaptor your phones came with. but if you want to charge BOTH, there is a micro usb plug on the back of the dock that the wall charger can plug into, so you'd have either A) Two outlets in use in your wall, B) One outlet in your wall, and one usb on your laptop in use, or C) 2 USB outlets on your laptop / computer.

its sturdy, and it doesn't go anywhere. when i first got it, it felt like i had to force the phone onto the micro slot, but it got better, not sure why. also like someone said before.. you cant get to the volume keys, so thats a little annoying, but not a big deal. you can also use it to make the phone into a hard drive and sync files.

there are two LEDs on the back, one is Red/green for the external battery charger, and the other is blue for the phone charger. the blue one is always on when the charger has power, doesn't tell you if the phone is charged, but who cares. but the big thing about that LED. ITS SO BRIGHT. it seriously lights up my entire room at night. the red one isn't at all. but idk what the hell they did but the blue is EXTREMELY bright. i had to color over it with black sharpie.

if you guys want pics, let me know. i can snap some.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Vermik:
i've one desire z but thats is fidign?!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eatjello:
i have no idea what you said, but i assume you said "you have the desire Z, but that one's for the G2?"

It shouldn't matter, i have the desire Z and i dont see why the one made for the Z wouldn't work with the G2, or the other way around.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] drm916:
Can you send me the ebay link or ebay seller name?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eatjello:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Dual-Charger-Do...ccessories&hash=item2eb1b0d0de#ht_2041wt_1078

same one i bought. it says for the Desire Z, which is what i have, but i see no reason why it shouldn't work with the G2
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Paris_Carter:
it has the usb port on the bottom i dont know which G2 you have but mine charges on the Left Side
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Lucas155:
Actually, even though it says it's for the Desire Z, it looks like it's made for the G2. If you look at the picture, the plug is on the correct side for mounting the G2 in portrait mode. This looks like a pretty good setup for the G2. Heck if it included a car dock, cigarette lighter charger, and full skin instead of just the screen.... that'd be everything you really need.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] OoTLink:
You do realize that the plugs on the G2 and DZ are in the exact same place right?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GlobalFisher:
So no doubt, this should work fine with the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Smartenup:
Yep.............
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GlobalFisher:
Anyone know if it will work using a standard t-mobile gel case?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eatjello:
^

depends how thick the case is, there isn't a whole lot of room behind the phone to the plastic of the charger. but if it's thin, it will be snug, but should fit. but can't tell ya for sure, i dont use cases.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Ezzy77:
Just bought 3 of those from amazon.co.uk. Haven't tested them yet tho. Seem decent enough.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
Will the DZ/G2 fit the docking station if there is a case on it?

Or is it made specifically for the phone without a case?

Check out this thread on docks:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845946

About the 20th post or so, there are some good detailed pictures posted that show the clearance between the back of the phone and the dock. Judging by the pictures, I don't think it would work with a case...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gPilott:
It won't work with a case. It is a bit of a tight fit with a big battery and a a phantomskin cover.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] CB620:
As much as I wanna have a charging dock, I don't wanna take my hard case off. Ill just continue using the wall charger until something legit comes out.

That one has already been discussed here. You have to manually plug in the phone, so we're waiting for something better.

Hey guys Im sure you are aware if thus by now, but they made an official g2 dock, and it looks really nice...

I'm going to buy one even though it cost's $60 off of ebay. Then I'm going to hook it up wirelessly with a Jawbone Jambox that way I can have a bedside charging dock with a nice speaker that has no wires.

First want to say hi. I want to backup my evo since im replacing it with a newer evo since there is a problem with mine its hardware problem. but any way is there a way i can completly take everything from my current phone to new one Apps photos settings launcher pro(paid)im getting the phone tom they called todayso plz help me out plz try and keep it simple if possible
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dante_l1:
First you should be aware that all of your paid apps are permanently tied to the Google account that you used / created when you first set up the phone. This means that as long as you use the same credentials when setting up the new EVO you will find all off your purchased apps waiting for you in the market.

Second know that most of your personal data is stored on the SD card as opposed to the phone memory itself. If you reuse the same card you will likely find your data is waiting code you without using a backup restore utility.

Despite the above I am a fervent devotee to backing up and use several apps in tandem. I you only have one I think Titanium Backup is the way to go. My Backup Pro another alternative. These will backup and restore all of your apps with data so it is like you never lost a beat. They will even restore desktop layout and call logs or text messages.

My last advice is to get the free app called dropbox. T give you 2 gigs of online storage which get linked to a special folder on your phone. Put a file in the folder and it will get uploaded into your web vault. From there you can access the files from your PC as well.

tmobile data (has a blue dot)

Tmobile fota

To the OP, I was also not able to make a data connection last Thursday just out of the blue. I ended up calling T-mobile customer service to have them check why. By the 3rd call they connected me to a tech person who walked me through various tests to see what was wrong. In the end I had edge working but not 3G. He made a work order and said they would need to look into it. Then about 2 hours later I started getting 3G speeds like I have never had before. 5mb up and 512kb down. I don't know what happened, perhaps t-mobile is servicing their network. I just hope it stays like this. With a fast download speed.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
So I know I WAS rooted at one point, up until about a week ago. Then all of a sudden a few days ago I went to flash the latest CM6 nightly, and opened up TitaniumBackup to make sure I had everything backed up. It said that it didn't have root access. I rooted back on 1.5 or 1.6, using Fresh's 1-click method. Will that still work even though I'm running a Froyo ROM now? Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find anything searching. I can still boot to recovery, and flash ROMs, but the apps that require root access (TitaniumBackup, drocap2, Superuser, wifi tether) say they can't gain root access. I did flash a file suggested by impaler to try to fix issues with adding SU permissions, and it seems that this issue started about that time.

I can't install the Android SDK (no internet access besides my phone, and that doesn't want to play nice with the servers for some reason), so I should specify that this should be non-ADB if possible.
