How are they compared to say an iPod touch?

what's an iPod?

but seriously... Seem pretty decent to me, but I am sadly lacking a decent set of headphones at the moment so can't really test the audio quality properly. Video quality is everything you could expect from the screen specs, well above average IMO.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakadm:
I recently purchased a HTC Desire. On the BOX it says A8182 (Telus in Canada)

It came with FROYO which I found bizarre.

However, when I go into settings, about, phone identity I get:

Model Number: HTC Desire A8181!

But the Serial# and IMEI match exactly what the box says.

I am actually getting a 3G connection on Fido/Rogers (850Mhz)

I know this because of download speeds (3M DL / 1.5M UL) and in Settings/About/Network/ I see Mobile Network type as UMTS

Could the Model Number showing A8181 be simply because of the WWE Software Flashed on the phone?

SW: 2.10.405.2

BaseBand: 32.44.00.32U

I'd love to confirm this!

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakadm:
Bump

I would really try to figure this out.

Can a desire A8181 work on 3g fido or rogers?

It's supposed to work on 900/2100 !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwisine:
Which Model A8181 or A8183

I have a similar issue having bought a A8183 Telstra branded phone from Australia, I never checked the phone identity but have upgraded to Android 2.3. When I go into the phone identity it says it is a A8181 however if I take the battery off the model on the back of the phone is A8183.

It is working but I am not sure if it is picking up the 850 frequency or not? I am in New Zealand and am using on Telecom which is 850/2100 which is what the A8183 uses, and voda fone uses 900/2100!

How can I test if the phone is 850 or 900 mhz?

Hello,

i'm trying to access the bootloader in my wildfire, i'm keeping pushed the return button during the boot but nothing happens, and it just goes with the normal booting process. am i doing something wrong ?

the phone is not rooted and it is updated to the latest OTA.

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
return button during boot? . im pretty sure your device has to be off, then you hold down the trackpad and press power button and it boots into bootloader.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radu.tanasescu:
During a call, if I keep my HTC Hero close to my ear the touchscreen becomes none responsive, meaning I can't touch stuff by mistake. If I take my phone away from my ear, I can touch the screen again.

Which is fine. This is how it's supposed to work but there's a problem:

If a call lasts longer than 1 minute (or however long you set your phone to automatically go on stand by) the screen goes dark, which is fine in most cases but sometimes you need to look through your phonebook during a call or put the person you're talking to on hold so you can answer another incoming call, etc.

Of course you can just press a key and the screen lits up again and you can do all the above mentioned, but pressing a key like the "Reject button" (which normally unlocks your screen) will not only lit up the screen but also cancel your ongoing call.

Similar to that pressing any key might also have an undesired action, which can make any during call operations frustrating.

Can the screen be configured to behave like the iPhone's (or Nokia's touchscreen phones for that matter)? Meaning when the sensor detects the phone is close to something (like your ear) the screen goes dark to save power and it becomes non responsive, but when you take it away from your ear the screen lits up and becomes responsive again?

The change isn't that dramatic, go dark instead of just becoming unresponsive (waiting 1 min to go dark) and lit up again when the phone is no longer close to something, instead of remaining dark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Take a look at the app "proximity sensor" as the hero doesn't have such a sensor. The app uses the light sensor to emulate it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radu.tanasescu:
I took a look at the app online, I'll try it out.

I didn't know the Hero didn't have a proximity sensor but whatever 2.1 does it does it well, I don't accidentally press anything, the touchscreen gets disabled.

I'm upset about the fact that the screen stays on and goes to standby after a while instead of being dark when the phone is near my ear and lit up when it's not.

The phone knows when it's close to something, it deactivates touch input, I just wanted it to also turn off the screen and turn it back on when it's not close to anything.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rXpCH:
Hello,

I plane on root my nexus one, I had it since its release and now I see some limits with my unrooted phone. But before that I would like to backup everything and when I think backup of a computer, I think image (acronis, ghost, wim, etc.) but is it possible to do the same with my phone ? Even if it is still not rooted ? If not, how should I backup it ?

Best regards,

rXp>!<

[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
a update this week on a Update? lol

Im gonna say no. Its the 6th of oct. now and I believe sept.28th is when the Kies update hit and Tmobile said do not update, Information about a update will be posted in a week or Upcoming week I dont remember. Well, a week has gone and past and nothing.

I will say I bet, that by the end of this week, lets say Saturday night, there will still be no word on a update.. I for one am rooted and flashed Eugenes Twiz final so I dont need a 2.1 gps fix or what not, I want froyo. Even then though I doubt there will be any word on any update this week.

So, POLL.

Edit: Please dont respond with, why does every *****, blah blah be patient a update is soon. SOON IS NOT 1/4 of a DAMN year, Every other SGS has had a update, hell Captivate has a leaked FROYO rom. How long will people keep saying, keep waiting, we will have it soon.

EDIT: I post threads like this so it bites me in the ass and we get a update sooner. See, it worked. WE got a update before my timeline was up...
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
they'll give us froyo when people stop asking every 5 minutes.

So never.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
this wasnt a froyo thread. Its a update thread. Read. I just mentioned froyo for fun.
[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
Seriously? Another useless thread... honestly you didn't think the 50+ threads asking the

SAME EXACT QUESTION

weren't enough? Give it a rest...
[Vibrant General] jz9833:
and just like those, the trolls come out to ***** / complain about the thread even though their post gives the thread a bump. Got to love that logic :rolleyes:

Ok back to what the thread is SUPPOSED to be about. Do I think we will get it? Nope, not while Galaxy Ss are still selling like hot cakes.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/samsung-galaxy-s-sales-surpass-five-million-world-domination-pl/

They have sold more than 5 million already and 2 million of that was in the US alone. Samsung is making money with the product as is so why throw a lot of money at development for a phone they have already sold?
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
True, great post by the way..

Thank god for eugene, bionix and the other devs or we would still have no gps....

If anyone thinks we will get a update I'm sad to say not gonna happen....

Just keep waiting guys were almost there (to 2012 still no update). Hell even the CM team is out getting drunk vs froyo for us.. Lol

Damn winmo got froyo working faster than a native android running phone...lol hd2
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Oh well Okay then.

Lets all go look in our crystal balls and see if Samsung and T-Mobile are going to release the updates this week.

Well I don't have a crystal ball, but I gave my nifty 8-ball a shake and the ball says "no one on XDA knows, so this thread is pointless". Huh. Go figure.

i hope that they give us the froyo, especially now that phones that are built in with froyo are out in the stores and of course the galaxy tab too. i don't care if it's not this month or it will be by the end of the year, i just hope that they give it to us.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
You know why they don't say anything definitive? Because if something goes wrong at the last minute and the deadline slips, they'll catch even more flak.

We can't make this go any faster. Nothing you say or do is going to make Froyo come out faster. Just go out and take a walk or something. Life will not end in the interval between now and Froyo.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Yea yea knew you would post in here, as the guy on page 1 said, don't keep bumping it.

I saw a story on BoingBoing indicating that the G2 has a rootkit installed on it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] hydrogenman:
yeah, any changes you make are reversed upon reboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] lbcoder:
It is a very loose use of the term "rootkit", but from the owner's perspective, it is technically correct.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Noxis:
I'd wait for some credible evidence first. I haven't seen any at all yet...
[G2 and Desire Z General] bloqhead:
I'm hoping there is no real merit to this and that the XDA community finds a workaround. I have faith in the devs here. The first one to get a working, solid root will definitely get a donation from me, lol. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
My question is.. if the phone always resets the firmware.. what happens when T-Mobile pushes out the next OTA?

They obviously have a work around that needs to be exploited.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hydrogenman:
you know, when Motorola was doing this ****...everyone was like "no need to worry, HTC doesn't do this kind of stuff, and they make great phones"

What now? Seems like this is the future for sure
[G2 and Desire Z General] bloqhead:
I think in cases like these, their hands are probably tied. It's hard to say who to put the blame on. The carrier could've requested the block or they would've rejected HTC. Either way, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The end user pays a monthly bill and has purchased the phone. Why are they now disallowed to alter their investment? I don't see how the carrier or HTC loses. Preventing us from tinkering will just make us grow to hate the carrier, the phone manufacturer or both.

Where are we supposed to go when Android gets completely locked down? That doesn't sound like open source to me and open source is what drove me to Android in the first place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
I'm sure the big difference with the OTA is the fact that it's:

1) a newer version

2) signed

Failing to meet these requirements probably prevents writing to the "permanent" memory.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Yellowfrizbee:
Well this is quite irritating. Has this sort of thing been implemented on other devices? And if so, has XDA been able to root it?

I guess what im trying to ask is, if this is true, does that mean the G2 can not be rooted? Need to know because im purchasing one soon and if its impossible to root and get roms on, It would be a deal breaker for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Well, it can't really be impossible, but if it requires hardware mods or for the signature to be cracked...it may never happen.

Honestly, I'm happy enough with the phone that I wouldn't be upset it if it was never rooted, but of course I'd prefer that it was. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that one of the expert rooters can get the job done.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bloqhead:
Anything that can be engineered, can ultimately be reverse engineered. I'm sure once devs like Cyanogen and others get a G2 in hand, they'll have some sort of solution or at least a better explanation than what this website gives. One can only hope. If it turns out to be hardware-driven, that scares me a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kubernetes:
Wow, what a boneheaded move by Tmo considering that so many people considered the G2 to be the successor to the N1 as a dev phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] genibus:
That shouldn't matter then.. remember the CLIQ and DROID were rooted by adding SU to a signed OTA w/o changing the signature bits in the compressed OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Snuggl3s:
iT cant be impossible cause then we would never be able to get updates so like everyone is saying im sure some Pro Moders / Hackers will find a way. Will it be as simple as other roots? Prly not but im sure at some point we will have it. I to am happy with the phone as is and rly the only thing that we are lacking (correct me if im wrong) is the built in teathering and becoming a WiFi hotspot. I can live without those things but some people might need them. At any rate my fingers are crossed =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] genibus:
The G2 is not a dev phone and they dont have dev phones of the G2 available for purchase..not sure what your inferring? The G1 had dev phones as did the N1.. nothing on the G2 though as of yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Clackamas:
Well, if this is the case, then the phone goes back today. *sigh* I really like Android 2.2 over 1.6.
[G2 and Desire Z General] drewden123:
He wasn't referring to an actual "dev" G2 phone...he meant the G2 was perceived as the next big "open" phone for devs to have just how the N1 was widely accepted/perceived as a phone for devs (being able to root, load custom ROMS, etc. freely) (ie. moto's execs telling disgruntled X owners that if they wish to have custom roms and such they should buy a google n1).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Clackamas:
The problem with this position is if you have a need that T-Mobile refuses to meet, then you cannot override them.

But as others have pointed out, it can be reversed engineered. Physical access to the hardware essentially makes it vunderable to whatever security counter-measures you wish to invest in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] burpootus:
I'm an X owner who mistakenly thought the locked bootloader was no big deal, the dev's will break it, etc., etc.. Well, I like customizing and it is a big deal. Vote with your pocketbooks and don't buy anymore locked Android devices.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PolishDude:
Honestly the only reason I got this phone was because I thought there was going to be a ton of development for it, but it does not look like this phone is mod friendly. Time to go back to my vibrant and return this one back to t-mobile.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smjfosho:
All of you guys who are ditching already, your dumb. Be patient, seriously. I just asked paulobrien and he said, it will happen. Just chill guys. Good things come to those who wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] synaesthetic:
Tell that to Droid X owners.
[G2 and Desire Z General] d0ug:
I'd say if you aren't someone that is going to be actively looking for a workaround for this, dump the phone while you still have your 14 day remorse period. You can always purchase it again when/if a hack is found

If this is as some have speculated a hardware protection, then when/if a hardware hack is found, how many people are really going to crack open their brand new G2's to do the hardware mod and for sure invalidate their warranty? At least with just plan ROM flashing, you can always flash it back to stock before shipping it in, so long as you aren't trying to make a warranty claim on a phone that you bricked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
The Cyanogen team has some of the best Android coders in the world. They will get past this problem. Coders thrive on breaking security parameters like this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Clackamas:
I don't see people saying this is the sole reason. In my case, the is yet another undesirable item. When the negative column starts to equal the advantages column, it's time to consider other solutions.

There will be root. Take a look at all the android phones on xda. Just about all of them have some form of root. This phone was just released today. A lot of people, like myself, had the G2 a lot sooner and it kinda feels like we've been sitting waiting a week and still no root. Well now the phone is released and will have root soon. I returned the G2 due to a faulty hinge since they wouldn't let me exchange and ill prob buy it again once root is found.

I'm not worried one bit. I know this phone will get rooted in no time. Look at all the great teams that are working hard on doing so. I even saw that Eugene wanted to get the G2 now just for the challenge over on twitter. Ton of smart guys that know what they're doing on this, so just give it time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TravisLabs:
I figured that there was some kind of hidden partition since the specs for the HTC Vision have a ROM capacity of 3.7 GB while my T-Mobile G2 only shows 1.3 GB available.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kertong:
Wasn't the motorola e-fuse in the droid X the same sort of checksum-verifying image reflasher thing as this?

If so, great. Remember all the angry droid X owners up in arms thinking motorola designed it to brick their phone permanently when they attempted to root it? Today they are quietly and happily enjoying permanent root and custom ROMs as far as I'm aware..
