The new one works fine over phone's network. But still does not have front cam video support. I found a link to one that was supposed to work for the TB and have front cam support but it would not let me login.

i have downloaded skype and it works on my Advent vega tablet but how do i set up the built-in camera to work during calls if possible??
[G2 and Desire Z General] IconBoy:
(I posted this over at the TMo forum, but figured I might get some more suggestions/help here).

I have the Sprint EVO on the everything plan and it gives me 450 minutes to any landing. All cell to cell calls are included. I pay $80/month and that includes all SMS, data and navigation.

I have a few days before my 30 days are up to decide if I stick with it or go with something else.

I have never had a CDMA phone before. My only concern is if I trash/drop the phone it my kids drop it in the toilet, then I have to purchase another CDMA unit. If I go with TMo, and I trash a phone, I can put the SIM in any of my unlocked GSM phones. I've always used ATT but now am considering the new G2 on TMo.

Would appreciate any advice/suggestions.

Do I keep the EVO and the pretty decent plan, or go to TMo before my window of return closes for two years?

My needs are not huge, but father-in-law has very kindly agreed to pay the monthly bill, so that is a big help.

I do surf the net a fair bit (Facebook, few blogs, search for directions, phone numbers etc, but not excessive.

Talk: just the normal calls to family (i'll be home at 6pm, can you pick up milk etc.) and then the odd 20+ minute call to a friend every now and again. My biggest thing with regards to calling (landlines, businesses or other cellphones) is I don't want to have to look at a clock and wonder if I can call now or wait ½ an hour until a certain time of the day or be concerned what network they are on — just want to be able to pick up the phone and call whenever I need to, as I don't have a landline.

Used to be with ATT, but want a change. ATT often cripples their phones by barring features (e.g. on wife's ATT Samsung Captivate, you can't install non-market APKs because the Unknown Sources checkbox option has been removed).

So far, my experience with the EVO and Sprint has been decent. EVO battery isn't exactly stellar.

I have thoroughly enjoyed switching to an Android phone and want to stay.

PS - In San Diego area if that will help regarding coverage
[G2 and Desire Z General] kludgineer:
I have the G2 and could not be happier. It is an amazing phone. and will be MUCH faster than your Evo according to the benchmarks that I have seen.

T-Mobile's rates are roughly comparable to Sprint's. I pay $80/month for 500 minutes and unlimited data and texting. T-Mobile doesn't generally have a bunch of extra hidden fees, so there is no charge for things like Navigation, you just use Google Navigation. The only exception to that will likely be tethering, but if you root your phone you should be able to get around that (soon at least).

The only minor caveat I would include in my recommendation is that I would check on the status of the HSPA+ roll-out in your area. San Diego should be planned, if not supported already, but That may be a deciding factor.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Go with the G2..!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I wish my father in law was that nice. Mine used to threaten to shoot me, hahahaha! Not really but he hated my guts once upon a time. I was a wild child 10 years ago. Wow, I feel old now... 30 next year, yuk! He likes me now. We eventually realized we were both assholes and ***** about stuff a lot togther. Hahahaha! Anyways, Check your coverage maps well as suggested. The plans/rates are close, etc. Sprint has a little bit better coverage generally so check your work/home route, city in general, and even vacation spots. Think of everything you could possibly plan. The coverage is not that bad but I get carried away sometimes. In general, though... its a bit better than the evo. Much nicer build quality... faster chips, etc. You'll enjoy it! And save Pops a few dollars too.

If customer service is important to you, T-Mobile has been ranked #1 by JD Powers for a while now while Sprint usually comes in 3rd or 4th.
[G1 Android Development] Bober87:
Hi everyone,

Looks like my Rogers dream is in the Hard brick mode :)

As usual - flashed wrong radio... Say Hello to "Rogers" logo :)

Can't get into nowhere Fastboot etc...

so I think the only way to repair it - JTAG, so does anyone from Toronto\Canada has working JTAG, and can help me out?

Best Regards, proud brick owner :)

P.S. The battery is charging (LED is on) if the phone is off... not sure that it makes any difference :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] cracksmurf:
I'm definitely looking forward to root and ROMs being ported to the G2. I have been using custom ROMs like Cyanogen's mod for quite some time now on my G1, and now that I am without; it has become blatantly obvious that it's the little things that transform quality products into luxury products. Thanks to everyone's work, we are watching the definition of luxury in the making. With every new technology that comes out, and every new line of code the developers and awesome community coders write we are watching the evolution of our devices progress. Can't wait to see how this great phone will fly once I get it away from stock. I'm already interested in the new things that are slowly being discovered about it. As some sit and complain that they aren't getting what they paid for, others are going on an adventure finding out whatever they can from a new product. Its like a giant puzzle that people all over the world are working together to figure out. How interesting it would be if they actually took advantage of situations like this and all the energy that follows them to create fully immersive viral advertising campaigns. I mean everyone who is following the developments of the G2 are putting so much emotion into it all. Whether it's positive or negative we are watching the community come together as a whole, and it's pretty amazing. Whether or not there really are lasting issues with the memory or other parts of the phone, I am enjoying the dynamic of our teamwork to figure it all out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
I'm right there with you bro. This phone will have crazy developer support, I can't wait to see what happens. Things can only get better especially with support from cyanogen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I kind of agree. I'm more annoyed that rooting is the only way to get screenshot/wifi tether privileges..

If those two things were incorporated already (booooo Google & T-Mobile) I probably wouldn't root. I find android pleasantly customizable even without the theming options.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
you can capture screen shots without root

i followed the instructions at this link (for the Droid) and works great

you'll need to download the SDK developers kit and the Java developers kit but they're both linked in the instructions and your phone will have to be connected to your PC, but once you've done the download, you'll end up with a shortcut icon on your desktop taking you straight to the screen capture function screen

and shot you see below is a capture of my GPS maps with satellite image layered

[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Obviously I meant without using a computer and having to use the SDK. That's a lot more hassle than it should be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
once we have tablets with USB we should be able to put sdk on them(hopefully) and play with our toys using our other toys
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
It's actually all T-Mobile's fault, not Google's. T-Mobile would never let its users have that feature for free.

WEll I was blaming Google for the Screen Shot limitation... but yeah.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I have an A8183 from Telstra Australia. I rooted it using the revoked method, following the Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash guide on these forums. (new member unable to link).

I had the Cyanogen mod installed on the phone but didn't really like it. I wanted the HTC sense ui back so I tried to run a few generic RUU to get it back to normal.

Of course I got the Error 130 (Model error) or whatever it was. So I tried the Telstra RUU. I then got Error 140 (Bootloader error) and read around and found out I needed to downgrade to bootloader 0.80. Obviously did not realise this would affect the SLCD screen and remove the display drivers for SLCD to work.

I now have a phone with no screen, it boots and I hear the noises, but no display - not even in the bootloader or recovery mode. I tried putting the FroYo OTA on my gold card, renaming it "update.zip" but it didn't work, probably because I think I have a custom recovery mod I got from following the thread I linked above. Can someone please give me a noob guide to fixing this?
[Desire General] venkig:
Use your gold card and flash WWE RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe

Your screen is going to come back(the above RUU is SLCD compatible) and then download your Telstra RUU and flash with your goldcard(make sure RUU is SLCD compatible)
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I've tried lots of RUU's and it takes about an hour to download one. The ones you just linked look similar to the ones I've already tried. I'm currently downloading it, as well as the Froyo one.

Will post back in an hour or two as to what happens.

EDIT: It says there is a problem with the USB connection whenever I try to run the RUU...How do I fix that? My computer recognises there is something plugged in, and the charging light is on my phone.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I tried this:

1. Remove the battery

2. Insert the gold card

3. Hold down volume down then press power

4. Blindly press power again to get into fastboot???

5. Run: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe

and/or Run: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

On step 4, windows recognises a USB device but fails to install the driver. I went into the device manager and there is "Android 1.0" listed there. I tried to update the drivers manually by using the ones in the AndroidSDK. I'm assuming this has something to do with what happens on step 5. *UPDATE* Installed HTC Sync with the driver, uninstalled HTC Sync, windows picked it up. Windows required a restart before I was able to flash any ROMs.

On step 5 it gets up to the screen where it says "Gathering information about your android device" (or something). It times out and says Error 170 - Usb connection error.

*UPDATE* restarting the RUU fixes the USB connection error, however ALL of them give Error 130 - Model invalid. The only RUU that works is RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe and unfortunately that has already been flashed onto the phone - so it does not fix the screen. If anyone knows of an RUU that will work with my phone? Or perhaps a Telstra one that actually works and restores my bootloader or something.

Someone pleeeeeeeeease help :(
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
From what you say, I think the LCD is bricked but the phone is working otherwise. Just to confirm power on the phone and let it boot normally. You should hear the boot sound and then after 2-3 mins try calling from another number to see if it rings.

Once it is at that stage, connect the mobile to PC via usb. Ensure htc sync software is installed (Not the drivers alone, but the full htc sync software). Then run the .exe that is compatible with SLCD. Your phone should get flashed. You cannot see anything on the mobile screen yet, but you can see the status on your computer.

I am not sure if RUU flashing will work from recovery/fastboot screen..... I am guessing you get the timeout error cos the phone is not booted. Give it a try.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
Yes, Yes to all of that. Like I said, the only RUU that works is the Telstra one atm, and that is already on the phone. Like I said, I flashed that after downgrading to bootloader 0.80. All the other RUU's that I have tried to flash give a model id error.

If anyone can point me to an RUU from Telstra that enables use of the screen I would like a link please :)
[Desire General] iL_FeD:
I may be giving you a wrong advice, but have you tried to turn the phone on while pressing the back button? (not the volume down, the back button), and flash a compatible RUU?
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
Yea I've tried that with most of the RUU's that I've downloaded. It just gives model ID error. The only compatible RUU that I've come across is this one Telstra one that I've found on this forum. None of the other generic ones seem to work. I can't seem to find another Telstra RUU that will work. I have no idea if the phone is even still rooted, or what version the bootloader is (My guess is still 0.80 - even though it needs to be 0.83).

I'm unable to re-root the phone with a method like unrevoked because I can't enable USB debugging (can't see anything) and unrevoked doesn't find my phone.

At the moment I'm just playing around with flashing different RUU's remaking my gold card, installing/uninstalling HTC sync, flashing RUU in what I think is the bootloader screen, what I think is the fastboot screen, and when the phone is fully booted. (This would be a whole lot easier if I could see what was happening).

The only luck I've had is re-flashing the original Telstra RUU which does nothing to the screen...

- What does that do?
[Desire General] iL_FeD:
Turning the phone on with the volume down key pressed takes you to HBOOT menu

Turning the phone on with the back button pressed takes you to the fastboot menu directly, if I'm not recalling bad you need to be there to flash a RUU, It's worth the try...
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I tried it with the back button - Same deal Error 130 - Model ID Error.

Apparently you can fix that with a new gold card. I read somewhere else to remake your gold card step by step. One of the steps requires USB debugging to be on your phone to record the serial numbers listed in the command prompt with the phone plugged in. I already have goldcard.img and have tried putting it on multiple microSD cards, I now have no more to try out.

Anything else I can try?? This is my only phone :S
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
I am not an expert on flashing, but I had bricked the LCD on my desire before. But mine was unbranded and flashing a unbranded RUU that got my phone and display working again.

What I would suggest is you can try flashing an unbranded WWE Froyo RUU that is compatible with the SLCD desire. If you have the gold card, you can flash any RUU to your phone (That is my understanding)

If you are not able to flash any other RUU, maybe the gold card is not proper. As far as I know, you should use the .img only on the sdcard which was in the mobile when you executed the commands. using .img generated with one card on another sd card will not work I think. At least it didnt for me.

Also the RUU is not bothered about the Hboot version on the phone. An RUU will have it's own bootloader and it will flash it onto the device over the existing bootloader

And above all, do not panic. The device can be recovered and restored. It is just a matter of time and patience and trying out a few things.

Edit: I forgot to ask, Do you have a nandroid backup done immediately after rooting?? If you have done it you could save yourself a lot of time by just restoring it.... If you have not backed up, then Lesson No 1 in rooting -> ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before you do things.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I think I have to agree. After about 20 hours of trawling forums I am 90% sure that I screwed up the initial gold card. (unrevoked doesn't require a gold card - so I thought it worked).

Is there a way to create a new gold card without an android phone? If you could point me to a guide that would be awesome. Obviously I'm prepared to buy a new microsd card to fix my $900 phone :S
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
Do you have USB debugging enabled?? If it is enabled, you just need the phone to be booted to create goldcard. Insert a formatted sd in the phone and boot it up, connect via adb and generate the CID numbers and try to make one.

If usb debugging is not enabled, then you can play "blind" game and try to enable it without the screen. It's tricky but certainly possible.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
It was, but unfortunately the flash that ruined my screen returned it to default, which I assume would turn debugging "off". The blind game? never thought of that, I guess I could try look around for a youtube video of someone doing it or something. If anyones got spare time some STEP BY STEP exact instructions would be awesome :)
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
If you search for lcd brick fixed, you should find a step by step guide to turn usb-debug on.

To flash a ruu, your phone needs to be booted in android normally, the ruu reboots it in fastboot itself. If you get an error flashing the ruu, try updating the android phone drivers. Even if Windows said it didn't update, try the ruu again. It worked for me with a friends phone.
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
Well here are the steps..

1.Power on the phone and after 2-3 mins, press the power button to load the lock screen

2.Swipe down to unlock.

3.You should be in homescreen if device just booted. Press menu and then press the spot immediately above the search button. This should take you to settings screen

4.Now swipe long strokes with your finger "down to up" 4-5 times on the screen.. you are now swiping down the list.We need to make sure we reach the end of it.

5.Once you reach the settings list's end, the "Applications" link will be located just below the volume "+" key. about 5-7mm below the + mark. press the spot.

6.Now you should be inside the applications. Now keep swiping down on the trackpad. Do it for 10-15 times no problem. There are only 4 items in the list and doing it many times will ensure the selection is now on "Development" which is the last item in the list

7.Press the trackpad. The development should now get selected

8.Wait for a second. Press the trackpad again(No up/down). USB debugging will get selected.

9.Wait a second. Press the trackpad again. The popup "ok" button will get selected.

And you are good to go :)

Connect to PC and see if you can connect via abd.

This is assuming that Debugging is turned off. If it is already ON, then doing this will turn it off. So first check if you can connect via adb before attempting this.
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
I followed all the steps in this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750852

I even spent an hour getting the debugging to turn on.

I managed to root my Desire again and got down to step 35. Unfortunately that RUU gave a model ID error. Just like all the rest.

Thanks for all your help guys, although this is driving me insane :S
[Desire General] lordmitchell14:
*BEGIN DANCING*

thanks to the awesome guys at http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

After playing the blind game and turning on USB debugging, I was able to use my computer as a screen which made things a whole lot easier.

After following the guide linked in the post above:

- I bought a new microSD

- re-made the gold card

- Followed steps 30 onwards...

- ran the RUU several times (it finally worked whilst in boot mode)

- AND MY SCREEN TURNED ON F*%K YEA!
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
Great to hear!!! :):)

Now do a Nandorid backup and then you can go about trying out any mod/rom you want and you can always get back your original state with a simple nandroid restore.

And that ScreenCast looks interesting... will give it a try :D
