Hello,

I am also looking for something like that; i found:

usbfirewire.com/Parts/rr-aumcb-xxg.html

But living in Netherlands it is somewhat expensive to ship.

I can't found a similar item from Holland (or around) what seems odd to me.

Maybe someone has the solution
[Epic 4G Accessories] jasonsf:
That's the only one that I've found, also. But I'm having a hard time justifying $17 to get it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Grogck:
The usb charger being on the top (and also being micro-usb, not mini-usb) has also been my only major complaint as well. And I knew about it going in so it's not like it's entirely unexpected.

Still, it's a pain when you hop in the car and want to quickly hook things up. And the fact that it's a tiny and relatively fragile little micro-usb connector makes it more tedious than it would be if it were the slightly larger mini-usb type. A bent angle charger would definitely help on all the top-heavy weight from the cable which can cause it to pull to one side and can gradually bend the female receptor end on the phone. I would try setting it horizontally, but some of the apps I use on the road either don't have a landscape mode or just aren't as usable that way.
[Epic 4G Accessories] aero1:
there are "right angle", "left angle" and "up angle" usb micro cables. for portrait in car you want "up angle" to avoid stressing the port.
[Nexus One Android Development] Matt4542:
So I was trying to tether my Droid 2 to my Nexus One(only have Verizon) and my N1 couldn't find the Ad Hoc network my D2 was putting out. So I did some research and I found this. I tried it and I am connected to my ad hoc network zero issues. Well heres the guide.

Adding your ad-hoc SSID in Settings->Wireless & Network, then do the following modification in data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf:

1)Add ap_scan=2 at the beginning.(If not there)

2)Locate the "network" section corresponded to your ad-hoc network, add "mode=1" at the bottom of that section.

3)Add "priority=1" to the bottom of the section after the previous step.

Hope it helps :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
Is there a way that I can communicate with my laptop wireless as if it were plugged in with the usb? I already have estrongs file explorer and adb wireless, but those seem to go through the router. Is there a way to do the same thing without a router, like, if I'm not on my network? Is it maybe doable through bluetooth?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
The INC supports BT OBEX FTP, so you should be able to at least access the MicroSD card via Bluetooth from your PC.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrightrocket:
When I run Wireless Tether, then I connect with Adb Wireless. I use adb connect 192.168.2.254:5555, and then all of my other adb commands work fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
I ran wireless tether and then Adb wireless but Adb tells me to turn on wifi or it wont work. It says to connect to 0.0.0.0:5555

Go to the marketplace and grab the app "Bluetooth File Transfer." Works quite well if your pc supports bluetooth. Also great if you want to transfer files between two android phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeitel:
doesnt froyo have bluetooth file transfer built in? i thought i saw something somewhere.

Ok here is my dilemma. I bout a hero off of CL. And it was flashed to metro pcs. The girl selling it didnt know it was. I didnt know till I tryed to program it with my SPRINT number. So my question is how do I get it back on sprints number?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefthomas99:
Take it to a Sprint store
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
run the ruu, then call sprint and activate
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
+1 don't bring it to the store.... load the ruu and you can call them to activate it....

But she knew! I found a blackberry in the box my grill came in and that 'd be like me selling it as if I didn't know it could not be activated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamensterms:
Hey guys,

Im a long time WINMO user jumping off the sinking ship to Android. Picked up a HTC Desire the other day, and am just in the process of figuring out the best way to get my personal data from my HD2 to my Desire.

When i say "personal data"... i mainly mean contacts, calendar appointments and tasks. Emails and SMS is not too important.

Ive done a little research and found that there are a few different methods, but the most popular two seem to be either to use Sprite Migrate or Google Sync.

I had read a few posts noting that by using Google Sync, it will compress/re-size any contact pictures i have assigned... and if i wish to have hi-res contact pictures... i will have to re-assign them. I have also read that there is no calendar 'tasks' app built in... so im hoping there are a few available.

So... if you are a user who has successfully (and reasonably easily) transferred from WINMO to Android... i would welcome any advice you have.

Ps: i realise there are a few threads on this topic, but i couldnt find anything on how well Sprite Migrate actually worked (stable backups/restores, contact picture issues, etc).

Thanks for your help guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Anyone else have an issue with this? I was told there would be a rebate for with the phone. There wasn't. I called T-mobile and they said I can do it online. So I did. I thought that it was processed online. Nope, I checked the status later and there was no rebate. I went through the online process again. I guess you have to print out the forms at the end, then include a photocopy of the proof of purchase date, along with the original white sticker on your phone box with all that information on it. Anyone else have to go through this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] robertgibson:
Yes, this is exactly what had to do to get the rebate. I have just been to lazy to actually put it in the mail......
[G2 and Desire Z General] -FuRBz-:
i had already forgotten about the rebate- i guess i could/should send that out today
[G2 and Desire Z General] rwbarnes67:
What's the website for the rebate?

Please?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kaczman:
http://tmobilerebate.com/splash.asp .....
[G2 and Desire Z General] imblacklife:
There was a rebate??? Damn tmobile never told me anything about a rebate
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sefirato:
Thought I'd list the requirements necessary to get the rebate. The rebate was for the month of September only, apparently. Maybe it's just me, I guess.

You must extend your contract term and qualify for full upgrade pricing as follows:

For one-year current contracts - 11 or more Active Months since last discounted handset purchase; OR

For two-year current contracts - 22 or more Active Months since last discounted handset purchase; AND

$29.99 or higher rate plan ($49.99 or higher/pooled family plan)

Requires voice and web feature on upgraded line.

I don't qualify for either, sadly. I don't need the voice part as I am deaf. That sucks. I got the Unlimited Everything with Voice Block for $50 a month. It's just a 50 dollars rebate I can live without because the phone is awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
I'd call and let them know that you're deaf. T-Mobile is pretty understanding and I doubt they'd give too much trouble.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sefirato:
It's more of the #1 that disqualifies me. I got the G2 while in the 10th month of the 2-year contract on Blackberry Bold 9700. I got the full discount, though. I'm not complaining.
[Droid Incredible General] fastblack:
My phone keeps going to the HTC Quality Brilliant screen, then the Droid logo screen, comes up to the slide to unlock, counts up to 100%, then reboots.

I just tried updating to froyo with the update.zip shown here in another thread. The update went through fine, I even tried updating it again, but just keep getting this reboot loop.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
You might have to RUU back to 2.1. I'm not really sure though, so hopefully someone who has had this happen to them will come in here and know for sure. Good luck!

[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
I already know that Trapcall can do this, but it isn't free anymore so I'm sure most people are not paying for it. I was just wondering is there an app/script for Android phones that can help us unmask blocked calls? If not is there a website or anything we can do to get this same feature for free? Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Has anyone noticed that swype is not as accurate as it use to be ? The new version sucks . Anyone else have same issues ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwhite4801:
I agree. I wish I could go back to the old one. It was way more predictable.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Ya I know :( we can't use old one right?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
My irritation started when the vibrate on keypress function stopped working.

Then, I realised the stupid Tips window kept opening up every alternate word

And finally, to top it off, its not accurate any more

Edit: Well I sent them an email about it, let's see what they have to say
[XPERIA X10 General] soumyamukherji:
Yup the beta one was far better. I loved the concept of swyping instead of tapping but the new swype is so bad I'm now using SwiftKey :(
[XPERIA X10 General] citsym:
Yep. The new SWYPE is definitely a lot worse than the previous betas.
[XPERIA X10 General] sungrad:
For the record, I agree. It also seems to be less compatible with most fingers than the previous version...
[XPERIA X10 General] ealax:
i still have problems with skype due to its expiration on my phone, any idea how to make it work again?
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Go to 4shared dot com and write swype and there is a file called swype x10 look for it and install it . Works like charm
[XPERIA X10 General] ealax:
thank you for the tip, works very good, but I only get English as a language, any idea how to install new languages?
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
Not sure. Go to swype website and register to get new beta then it will have m many languages
[XPERIA X10 General] mingleberry:
This doesn't work for me - installs fine but doesn't appear in input methods list. Install at your own risk as it has access to lots of personal data on the phone.

EDIT: Forgot I needed to enable it in settings. Hooray Swype is back. Shapewriter is just that much more painful in comparison
[XPERIA X10 General] soumyamukherji:
yup I've also been having problems with swype.... no haptic feedback and predictions are off to

Wrote to them. There reply:

Hi Soumya,

Thanks for writing with your feedback.

Our prediction algorithm has recently undergone some changes, not all of which have worked out write as we had planned. We're actually in the process right now of prepping a new beta release which will hopefully fix these issues, and then we'll begin the process of distributing to our preloaded customers where appropriate. I can't give any kind of ETA for these updates, as it's still a work in progress, but know that it is definitely being worked on.

SE is really straight forward about answering but hesitating to tell us the truth so you have to plan your life base on nonsense comes out of SE customer service department.

Question. I thought I read somewhere on this forum that some changed the Google Voice app from the white background to black. Does anyone know how to mod the app? I like the darker look of apps and the brightness of the stock app annoys me...plus its another thing to mod!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Crimton:
+1 on this, black or clear would be even better
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] pieter3d:
Shouldn't be too hard. Pull the apk and edit the layout xml's

[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
So i noticed today that when i pushed on my screen in the upper right corner it was making a creaking noise. Upon further inspection i noticed that the screen was actually moving because it was coming loose. Now its not really all that noticable but it creaks all the time when i put the phone up to my ear. None of the other corners move or make any noise. Anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate General] climber1872000:
I have thee same issue but mine is in the lower left hand corner of the screen. I hope it doesn't get any worse.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine too. I noticed it when I was tapping on the screen playing NESOID. I can hear it creak and feel the screen give.
[Captivate General] TheBronze:
Hope is a bad plan. If the screen is coming lose, take it back and exchange. If you are past 30 days, the manufacturer warranty is in effect for 12 months.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Has anyone had any luck returning their captivate due to.this issue? if so what steps did u take? Im thinking i want to exchange mine but im outta my 30 day
[Captivate General] climber1872000:
I just returned mine today. The sales rep told me that it was my imagination and that the screen was fine but since I was still with in my first 30 days (just barely) he had no choice but to allow an exchange.
[Captivate General] ntdb:
I thought I had noticed the same thing on my Captivate but it was just the back cover creaking. Take the back cover off and the battery out to inspect it before returning the phone.

I'm not suggesting that anyone's screen isn't actually loose, just making a suggestion for people who find this thread and are experiencing something similar.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Its definately loose. Its not bad but im just worried about down the road.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.seltzer:
I stupidly updated to 2.2 with out writing down my Unlock Code. Luckily my unlock stayed when updating but I made a nandroid backup of my 2.1 software before I updated. Is it possible to extract the /efs folder and find the code in the backup? I have a mac and I'm not quite sure how I would do this? If I were to restore to my backup would my /efs file get over written by the backup?

If this isn't possible, will i be forced to upgrade to 2.2 once it comes out?

(I'm on cognition 2.2)

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I think the nandroid backup is just directories - have you looked in the backup folder?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.seltzer:
I looked in the backup folder and there are a bunch of .img files like system.img, data.img, etc. I have no clue how to open up this kind of file on a mac. Any programs out there for this on a mac?

[HD2 General] zkid2010:
Get a different provider? :D Seriously though, with that much testing and that many radio's...kinda narrows down what your problem is - unless you just have some hardware issue.

2.08.50.08_2 works the best for me in South Bay Area
[HD2 General] Scabes24:

[HD2 General] prabu:
Hi is it possible to get 3G on HD2 T8585 model on AT&T network?
[HD2 General] diceman725:
No, it's on a different frequency. You need the Telstra (Australia) model of the phone - I believe it's the T9393.
[HD2 General] docdds:
OK, here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705098

This is for 2.12.50.02

I have put it on my AT&T in LA, so far so good. I am getting 3G where I could not get with other Radios and HD2. Will let you know about battery life.
[HD2 General] JuBond:
The best radios I have found to work with the Telstra phones are the x.xx.51.xx series, not the x.xx.50.xx ones. This creates sort of an issue, though, in that many of the custom ROMs meant for the Euro and TMOU leos need to use the x.xx.50.xx ones. I was thinking of starting a thread on this, since it really seems like those of us with the Telstra phones are screwed. I've found many of the roms that are made to be TMOU compatible don't work very well with the Telstra phones. Maybe its just me though.

PS. The stock Telstra roms use the x.xx.51.xx series radios from HTC. I'm wondering if that series has additional support for the 850 mhz 3G band. Here's a link showing an official Telstra rom with x.xx.51.xx radio. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6063136&postcount=558

[HD2 General] muchelaguito:
Do you have a T-MOUS phone? You shouldn't be able to get anything else than Edge... the phone just doesn't support the same 3g frequencies AT&T uses... It's a hardware limitation, not software. Only the Australian version of HD2 supports the 3g freqz that AT&T uses.
[HD2 General] kanoej:
i have tried multiple radios but i believe 2.12 and 2.14 so far i'm getting good battery and reception. i have yet to try 2.15.

but i think we need more information such as roms you are using, how you use your phone, etc.

by the way, im travel in between states of GA and LA to give an idea of location.
[HD2 General] willgill:
2.10 worked good for me but consumed a bit too much power for my taste. 2.14 is working equally well with lower power consumption. I have not tried 2.15 yet.

2.12 was horrible.
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
2.15 is good for me all around, specially if you were having overheating issues with 2.14..
[HD2 General] ka911:
Me too! I have 2.15 and I use my phone between Michigan and Chicago too and I use Android for my daily use
[HD2 General] bowpay:
I use Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 works really good. Just make sure that you are on GMS and that the band frequency is set to Auto. I always have 4 bars in Central California.

Hope this helps!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Really makes it a ***** to use while plugged in. Also, since I'm complaining. How about less programmable keys and instead give us a space bar that's a decent size....

Still the best phone I've ever owned, but do the powers that be really incorporate design choices on purpose to give us something to aspire for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MCbrian:
Not that this is a reason...but Blackberries have the charge-port on the side -- a lot of them do anyway.

When you're using a phone like the G2 (or my TP2) in landscape I think it's better on the side. That way it hangs straight down between my hands, rather than where my right hand is (as it is on my TP2). But...yeah, not good in portrait mode.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
I personally think it's much, much better on the side. I usually hold the phone with my right hand so it doesn't get in the way when I'm using it in portrait, and having it on the side is a godsend when using it in landscape.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I assume most people use their phone 90% of the time in portrait mode. But yes, in landscape it's fine. I spent the summer on an iPhone after using a rooted G1 for 18 months (cyanogen of course).

The only things I miss from jailbroken iPhone are 1) Bottom plug, 2) virtual keyboard (Swype/Stock/Swift still don't come close FOR ME), 3) Home Button/Track Pad press to wake up screen, 5) SBSettings and 4) WORDS WITH FRIENDS!!!!!

Otherwise it's like a breath of fresh air being back on Android. I'm confident that 4 of those 5 things will be fixed if root ever gets implemented.
[G2 and Desire Z General] StrokeMiEgo:
On my nexus and touch slide the port was on the bottom. I liked it for when I charged my phone while driving. If it had to be on a side, I would prefer the other side. Love this phone though.

N1 } MTSlide. { G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] MCbrian:
I'll use it 90% of the time without the cord plugged in at all. :D

I charge overnight and am not a heavy user.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Good point. I know once this phones novelty wears off I won't have it plugged in so much lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Yellowfrizbee:
Im glad they put it on the side. If they put it on the bottom it would be hard to TYPE on the keyboard.

Much worse if you ask me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Well if you spend more time typing on the physical keyboard than you do doing browsing, twitter, music, games, and making phone calls.. then yeah. Sure. I use the keyboard for long emails and message board posts. That's not the majority of my day realistically though.

-edit
[G2 and Desire Z General] MCbrian:
The part about X-Ray Specs gets me goin a bit... :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Yellowfrizbee:
Fair enough. Different preference for different users. I text more than I do any other function on my phone. Honestly though? I like how they did it on the Moto Droid. On the side but up closer to the top.
[G2 and Desire Z General] misteropinion:
It's on the side so that it will work in a car dock, which I'd love to see one of.

For me, the ***** is microUSB. That tiny tab in there is going to break, and then I'm boned. MiniUSB would have fit, and it's so much stronger!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Du22ty:
My N900 had it on the top and it was impossible to use when plugged in.. I for one am glad its on the side.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
Check out Wordfeud. I just discovered it this past week but me and a few of my other Android friends have been having a blast with it. You can also play against random people.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
usb port on the side isn't that bad unless your trying to type. then its a pain. still don't like micro usb always plug in the wrong side :( also feels kind of flimsy.
