Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.

I click on the shortcut and received the update in less than 2 mins.

Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.

Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.

3g signal is increased, wifi signal seems to be increased as well..

Awsome find.........
[Vibrant General] android662:
New to all this.

But Just tried it can't find device management in the list.

???
[Vibrant General] connnn:
The list is alphabetical... so... yeah. right under Daily briefing and DataCreate...

are you in the launcherpro activities list?
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
Well didnt work for me :(. I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.

As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.
[Vibrant General] connnn:
Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names

What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.

THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.

let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Excellent find

Excellent find Thanks !!!

I going to mess with this and see if this is a way to get around other Hangs......
[Vibrant General] chichu_9:
Nice find. Tried swtiching to lab and found no updates. Now waiting for the next release to test this out.
[Vibrant General] android662:
Yep home screen add shortcuts- activities-scroll thru list but cannot find any device management or any wss.....

Does it make a dif if am not rooted, also am on o2 network UK. Not branded handset.
[Vibrant General] android662:
One thing I did find in the list that was interesting was the 4g setting, can seem to turn it on tho keeps crashing any idea if will every work? ...
[Vibrant General] connnn:
Strange. Guess it is only a vibrant thing. Keep poking around in the list and let me know if you find anything.

[Vibrant General] android662:
Most definately . Thanks for your help.
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
I did what you said. My APN is o2 de. I went where I was supposed to change the APN and I did it but I didnt work. However, I have seen on the that on the top even before I've changed the APN there was a big STAR and underneath was saying o2 de.

Proxy, port... all that stuff was empty btw.

What you mean with revert? If I was guessing right... I did the same but using the apn from t-mobile that you gave me but it ended up with the same result.

I can see the arrow for a few secs... it says connecting to dm settings until it is gone with not further activities.

Cheers anyway mate :D
[Vibrant General] connnn:
Sorry :[ we tried! Haha.

I soft bricked my phone by doing the OTA update with a rooted phone, I flashed back to stock with ODIN and Now I am trying to get it to OTA Update to JI6.

I tried your trick, but it is not working for me, I am still poking around with Launcher Pro.

Thanks for the post.

I got my update with Kies mini, but I am liking the Launcher
[Vibrant General] connnn:
the OTA server probably registers that your IMEI already got the OTA and therefore it wont download it ... even though you are on JFD?

maybe not? *shrug*

Launcher pro is awesome. I paid the $3 for the plus version even though i don't use the widgets. just because it is a solid launcher.
[Vibrant General] C-4Nati:
Do you think your trick would work with my phone if its unlocked and not using T-mobile?
[Vibrant General] connnn:
doesn't appear to be working for those who have already tried... but it can't hurt to try it.
[Vibrant General] apathy311:
I got the original OTA update and it bricked my phone. Reverted back to stock and tried this method and the arrows show up and disappear after 5-10 seconds. Looks like you might be correct on this.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
same here, just want to support such a good launcher!
[Vibrant General] tekowalsky:
You can also create this shortcut using ADW Launcher. Use the custom shortcut option. Device Management will be in the list of Applications you can assign to the shortcut.

I haven't tried the Update option in the device management menu. Probably not a good idea over a custom ROM!

Rooted, Bionix, OC... aaaah.

That's the stuff.
[Vibrant General] jujuu:
If you open this package and look at the xml, there is a secret code tag with a number.

I punched in *#*#8736364#*#* and got to a screen that says Software update, is this the same thing?
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
Conn!

I think that by mistake :p

I have found another way to force the OTA update for people has their phone unlocked with another provider

or if they are overseas (my case).

Steps:

Follow what conn was saying, but instead of selecting "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" you should hit "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiFotaUpdateLowBattery"... then again, follow the same steps as is stated by conn.

It should appear a message saying something like "Congratulations, T-Mobile has sent you an update... blah blah blah."

The thing is that I have already updated my phone with "KIES MINI" so I haven`t actually install this update, but its telling me that it would take about 10 mins etc etc... and it is giving an option to postpone it. LOOOLL

How the **** do I take it out now! Theres not an option to reject the update :P
[Vibrant General] connnn:
Oh no! Haha yeah I have the lovely update reminder that I can't get rid of because of my method. I'm still on jfd with bionix 1.8 with the voodoo fix.

But cool you got the notification from germany!

[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
I've tried everything suggested in this thread and it still refuses to connect to the DM server. any more suggestions?
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
Why yes, yes it is. Good find! This is good for folks that dont want to switch launchers or to just streamline the process altogether (the actual update still doest work for me :( )
[Vibrant General] C-4Nati:
Ok well I'm in the U.S so do u think that would work?
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Just in case I want to go back to the original, stock settings how do I go back?
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
If it did for me I am sure that it would for you as well :) (I guess :p)
[Vibrant General] OolonColuphid:
Are these codes device-specific? My wife is waiting for the 2.2 update on her MyTouch 3G, and I'd like to speed it up.
[Vibrant General] neocoo:
I made the shorcut for com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain and com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiFotaUpdateLowBattery... I clicked the low battery one to get "Congratulations, T-Mobile has sent you an update..." I postponed it and then clicked on the com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain and it downloaded right away :)
[Vibrant General] maggi101:
After getting my replacement unit from UPS yesterday, I tried all afternoon to force the update to no avail.

Eventually I used the Kies Mini method, and finally got it sorted.

I wonder if it doesnt have something to do with not getting a 3G signal in my house?
[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
Same here. I got a message saying that I had an update and needed to restart then nothing happened when I did. Kies mini sees my phone as an Unregistered Device despite having registered weeks ago. Looks like I'm F'd
[Vibrant General] vaughnsphotoart:
Well done, works with ADW Launcher too

To access this on ADW Launcher:

Long press on home screen

Custom Shortcut

Pick your Activity

Activities

Device Management

Device Management(.wssAppDmUiMain)

Ok

I already have JI6 though, so I get "no updates" as the result. But I sure like the looks of the Settings > Profile Name > Lab option!
[Vibrant General] vaughnsphotoart:
@Coniglio, maybe try making a shortcut to .wsAppDmFotaUpdateCancel ?
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
I wish that it would have been the same for me :p

I havent found that exact name on the list but there was one with a similar name that I guess is the one you meant... however, after creating the shortcut it says "Could not launch the requested activity"

I might just accept the update, what would be the worse that it could happen? lol xD
[Vibrant General] sumasage:
What did you get after that?

I had similar result as your, i click on download and it restarted my phone then nothing happen....
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
So this force really works?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I think someone mentioned they forced the update, then got the OTA notification later, and it is stuck in the notification bar. How did you get rid of it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobyturbo:
Hi was wondering if any1 had a nanodroid image of the stock nexus 1 system i accdently deleted mine and now am stuck with a non working phone, ive tryed flashing different FRF files 1 boots but theres no screen.

if any1 can help thanks.

ok ive download the frf91 full but theres an issue when installing it it pops up with an error installing update. assert failed : !less_than_in and a long number, get prop("ro.build.date.ut"))

so what am i doing wrong ive reinstalled the started flash recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
i dont understand your last sentance.

do you have a working recovery ? if so, download whatever rom you like and flash it. wipe the phone first. should be fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You have Vodafone Nexus? Probably have SLCD? In that case, stock FRF91 won't work for you. You need Vodafone image. Or you could flash Korean version, KR_KT_... .

If you have unlocked bootloader, just unpack the ROM ZIP and do:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You can also do it for FRF91, if you don't have SLCD version.
[General Topics] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Hey everyone,

Just joined the forums, and figured I'd earn myself a warm welcome by asking a question that I'm positive no one has asked before: Vibrant, G2 or myTouch HD?

I do have certain criteria that I'd like to share, as I've spent many hours reading up on the three phones. Here's my take on the three phones so far based on what's important to me:

Samsung Vibrant

Likes

AMOLED screen is amazing

16GB built in storage is great

Battery life sounds decent

Lightweight

Speaker is great

Fast CPU

Dislikes

Not stock Android, not sure how crippled 2.2 will be on it

Not sure if it will tether when 2.2 comes out

No HSPA+

Can't store applications on SD card

Sounds like OTA updates have caused issues

Bloatware

G2

Likes

Almost stock Android 2.2

HSPA+

QWERTY keyboard is handy

Tethering supported after OTA update

Can store applications on an SD card

Dislikes

Screen is good, not great

Battery life questionable based on what I've read

Speaker is not very good

Not sure if 800Mhz CPU will show its age sooner rather than later

4GB (1.2GB usable) is a bummer

Can't remove some preinstalled Google applications

myTouch HD (what I've found on spec reports)

Likes

Fast CPU

HSPA+

Nearly stock Android

Front facing camera

Screen sounds like it will be better than the G2's but not as good as the Vibrant's

Dislikes

Battery life? Sounds like it could be not so great

Not sure how good the speaker will be, sounds like HTC doesn't do great in this department

Sounds like it has the same 4GB/1.2GB of the G2 so far

So, as you can see, I can find something to love and hate in all three. I'd like to hear comments regarding perhaps why you chose one over another. I'm also very curious to hear more about the myTouch, because right now I'm working off speculation.

I'm not looking for any of you to read my mind, but I am curious to hear others compare and contrast the three and share their preferences.
[General Topics] Alex530:
Vibrant or MyTouch.

The vibrants screen will amaze you. Its like an orgasm ona screen. Plus there's a mod for a front facing camera. Plus there's roms with vanilla android so its not bad.

The battery life is great.

The mytouch HD sounds good. So I'd wait for it in case
[General Topics] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
The more that I've read, I'm leaning more towards the G2. It sounds like several people get a couple days before having to recharge, and that people have been able to prevent the preloaded software from booting via the package manager.

Also, I just read that it sounds like the myTouch will have HTC Sense which, while not a bad thing, is a blocker to fast updates. I'd like to be able to upgrade to Gingerbread as soon as it's available, and it sounds like the G2 is the only phone (besides the Nexus One) that's going to be able to do that easily.

Finally, after reading up on the JI6 battery issues on the Vibrant, as well as the Mini Kies software that people are now having to run via Windows to get updates, it gives me a little less faith in Samsung.

I am still very curious to hear others speak about the speaker and the resetting issue on the G2.
[General Topics] gagb1967:
Things you cannot change in a phone or upgrade are; screen, memory, processor. you have all of them as dislike or concern on hd or g2.

Your concern in regards of the vibrant, seem to be sw related. Being a Galaxy S phone. You have i believe, the larger group of modders, developers working on it worldwide, to get you a large array of options to upgrade, fix, or just show off your phone.
[General Topics] robv720:
Chazz Thanks for posting the poll! I'm looking at a very similar predicament in replacing my Mytouch 3G (32B). At this point, I'm not sure if the MyTouch HD will have the capabilities that I'll want on it (SIPphone, Tether, ability to modify simple things like boot animations).

Vibrant biggest benefit (to me)- Can be rooted, tethered

MyTouch HD biggest foreseeable benefit - HSPA+, native 2.2
[General Topics] Robin.B:
Just to add my 2c, The CPU in the G2 is actually faster than the Vibrant and MyTouch HD. 800MHz doesn't mean a thing, it's a new gen. CPU and it currently gets the highest scores of ANY mobile CPU out there.
[General Topics] Unconn:
If you look around you will see that the MyTouch HD/4G actually has the same Generation (45nm? I think) CPU in it, but the MyTouch will be clocked to 1GHz by default. If the MyTouch can be rooted I think that will convince me fully. I can always sell it in 6 months when something better comes out, 'cause it will.

Side note, the G2 and the MyTouch are only on T-Mobile. The Z (Sense version of G2) might come to another American provider.

Unconnected.
[General Topics] ddgarcia05:
I love my g2's speakers. I use them all the time with slacker radio. I'd also like to add that the g2 also supports wifi tethering once rooted using the free visionary app in the market. (One click root) And like what was mentioned above you can overclock the processor to out due any phone on the market. I will admit that vibrant screen is nice but that thing has to take up lots of battery. Oh i almost forgot the keyboard is awesome aswell. The Froyo 2. 2 is nice and very smooth. Has the vibrant gotten the GPS issue fixed?
[General Topics] tweak89:
Anyone else have any thoughts on these two (G2 and Mytouch) phones? I am on the verge of ditching my Vibrant (laundry list of issues spanning 4 phones) for either the G2 or Mytouch4G.

As both are HTC phones and fairly close in specs and build quality, does one have any real distinct advantage over the other? While I will certainly miss the Vibrant's screen, can't say I'll miss the dodgy Samsung support.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wigwam12:
My apologies if this has already been asked - I am sure it has but I got to page 15 of this subforum and did search but didn't see the answer.

With the new (official) ROM out I was going to upgrade but was checking compatibility with what I use and found 20quicklinks won't work; the 25quicklinks seems to have a big so only first 9 links are switchable not the remaining 16.

Then it occured to me that a feature of the wife's Desire that I like is the multiple homescreens. Is it possible to have something similar to that for Sense/HD2?

That way rather than just a screen of quicklinks, a whole screen could be devoted to different types of links - one for apps, one for games etc.

(or if not would a working 20/25 quicklinks compatible with the new Rom be possible please?!)

Thanks

cht

Search for Cookies HomeTab (CHT).

This offers you exactly what you want and a lot more.

Current (released) version is 1.85. Once you've tried it you can't imagine to have your HD2 without it.

Version 2 is currently beta. And it offer even more possibilities.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
CHT 2.0

CLICK HERE for Cookies Home Tab 2.0 (Beta) - up to 21 home screen panels, widgets, free links, etc.

You'll also need CHTE (Editor) to make the settings - link in the CHT thread.

And you've got to check out CHTS (Scheduler) which is as amazing as CHT itself - sheduling, profiling, layout switching, backup, etc etc etc
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wigwam12:
Okay thanks

I didn't read CHT page carefully enough as I thought it was to modify the [single] home screen.

Will read about it more.

I am concerned though about the comments that it sucks battery dry...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
The battery drying, you must see it in a context.

Rom + Radio + Customization (CHT), ...

I must be honest like lot of peoples I used CHT from the beginning and with ore without CHT the different of battery draying is 2%/day so very small influence fore me.
[Fascinate General] Jbuch84:
Hey guys, I'm on my second fascinate...returned the first one because I couldn't stay connected to 3g for any length of time. For example, trying to stream pandora or youtube would always drop out / buffer and not reconnect. After getting my second phone I am still having this problem. When I finally do get connected it's terribly slow and soon drops out. Thought it may have just been reception first but my original droid worked prefect in the same areas (i live maybe 50ft from the verizon tower lol) and have the same problems in other cities too.

I've learnt to live with the audio playback pops and gps in hopes that they get fixed in an ota, but haven't really heard much about a fix for this. Really hope someone can help, love the phone aside from this problem, but it kind of makes paying $30 extra for a smart phone feel well, dumb :-)

Oh, Im stock too besides the d01 update and have tried both *228 and *22899 also
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
*22899?
[Fascinate General] tonyb81:
Give Verizon a call, there are some internal settings on the phone that they can adjust that might help. They did that for me it involved going into the dialer and putting in some number i forgot what it was, but i then had to enable something, and we went through the screens. They had me change one setting that gave me a more consistent signal.
[Fascinate General] Jbuch84:
It was something with 9s in it haha. And I called verizon, ended up changing some of my cdma settings through the dialer... Really wish I had wrote down all the steps because it took me deep into menus that aren't changeable without the codes.... Either way, it's somewhat better but I wouldn't say that completely fixed my problem.
[Fascinate General] Jbuch84:
3g still drops out much to frequently. when I get service, it seems quicker but youtube or downloading a large file are still impossible....
[Fascinate General] Jbuch84:
No one else is having this problem or found a fix? I'm at wits end, feel like spiking my phone onto the pavement at times lol
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I just yesterday got a replacement Fascinate, with that issue being one of my reasons for exchanging it. So far, I don't seem to be seeing any such issues, but time will tell. If the issue comes back, I might try falling tech support for those dialer codes mentioned here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] namiran:
Hi guys,

I want to access marketplace but since i live in Sweden it wont let me access it.

I have a dev phone and a zune account and everything...

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Im in the US and I can't access marketplace either. All I can see is the homepage and the games that are going to come to WP7 thats it. I'm not sure if its different for anyone else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] namiran:
Actually then at least you see more than me :P I can't even enter the marketplace anymore (which i could just 1½ month ago)...

Something seems to have changed... And no one knows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
https://account.live.com/summarypage.aspx

Can you try and change the primary country to UK or US? This will get really interesting :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] namiran:
tried changing it to UK... but no change on the phone... will try again in an hour in case it takes time to replicate the setting or so..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
Have you changed location under Region and Language in the control panel to UK or USA on your pc? If not, try that and restart Zune. Worked for me.

Or are we talking about accessing it directly on the phone? In that case you will need a UK or US Live account.

And i'm guessing you have the latest version of Zune!?

Another thought! I can access marketplace in Zune on my PC. If i use my swedish Live account on my phone when i get it, download apps thru Zune on my pc to my connected phone. You think that will work? :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] namiran:
Yes i actually meant on the phone, i wasn't aware that you can access the zune market for apps on your pc!

Also yes i do have the latest version of zune 4.7... the crappy part seems to be that you have to hard-reset the phone to set another live account :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] ricksmit:
I was wondering if anybody has had succes with this. Tonight i will receive my first Windows Phone 7 device, the HTC 7 Trophy. My country is The Netherlands. I am know wondering if i will be able to download apps from the Marketplace. Microsoft NL has said that dutch people would need to change their country in the Windows Live Profile to US for access to the marketplace until it will be released finally in 2011 here.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm talking about access to the Marketplace trought my Windows Phone 7 device from within the Netherlands?
[Windows Phone 7 General] szoniu:
hello all,

I once had an account us-live, in November 2010 transformed it into the account pl-live (polish account).

Now of course I do not have access to the marketplace, and trying to change the region - get the message that the change can be made once every 12 months.

I wonder how i can shorten this time?

I use a live account with UK country setting and ING card and it works fine. Just put in a valid UK address with your own name. Some cards won't work.

[Imagio General] blcklab:
Q9C had a registry hack to password protect data usage. I found the first key from this thread on the Imagio but not others. Essentially it blocks data since there is no password.

I want to give my daughter my Imagio with no data plan. On the Q9C SMS and MMS still worked.
