So if something is cheaper it is stolen? So whenever the grocery store has a sale, they just got a shipment of stolen food?

I don't see flashed phones as cheaper. Can you show me that?

Lets just assume that is true. (I don't think it is.)

1) no 4g, so slower data.

2) bad ESN. Someone cannot keep up the payments and has to sell the phone to pay bills.

Sure they will. HTC does not know.

[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
that is just plain silly analogy...

Something that is not right/stolen/broken/hot has to be discounted!!!

ESN issues: (billing issues... sure.. does sound better than stolen; do you think anyone will say it was stolen???) but here are examples. I bet you these sellers, are willing to deal.. drop the price to $150 -$175.

on the htc fixing "bad ESN" phones... like I said.. I just dont know.. never tried. But I would not bet $200 on it. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] LargePrime:
This is entirely OFF TOPIC

Your trying to prove a prejudice.

I already said that The ESN's are bad so you cannot get 4g. big discount in a 4g area.

It is just as reasonable that people in economic hardship are looking to sell things cheaper and faster. They are in a weaker position.

Selling a stolen phone on craigslist is asking to get busted.

On Topic...

Good but not a replacement POLA200

Hey cruzza i tried out near on all of the android NBHs and yes they are a joy to use on the polaris.. But and heres a big BUT it is not very stable to use as a day to day op system for phone. The cameras weird to use. After working nice for one day it started to force close with everything - there was always a surprise waiting for me when i woke my phone up. You are right bro very very nice to look at and use i cried when i had to go back to windows.. I am curious to know how does your android perform - day in day out..
[Touch Cruise General] chourmovs:
I've been using Android for six month first on haret then on nand and what i can say is that a lot of concession has to be made, and some are very important regarding stability, battery life and phone functionality

You have a great ease of use and a better feeling on android but general performance and memory management are not as good as on windows mobile

I was a flashing addict and i missed a lot of phone call, gps data due to bugs, flashing time, bad battery life so i decided to turn back to windows mobile (3LIT3 VIII) and i'm very pleased with it
[Touch Cruise General] cruiserrr:
Well, I do agree with most of what you replied. The current release and setup I am using is quite stable for a "light" use: no front camera, no videocall (never used in wm6.5 btw), no native T9 dialer, no native birthdays notifications, limited bt file transfer are a pain but you can live with it. The rest works pretty well: bt car kit, wifi, GPS, UI navigation, phone...In terms of apps I miss lots of things: an app to filter contacts to be sync'd with bt car kit, not so good nav programs (igo, compemaps have no equivalent...). However, you can live without it and the UI is so nice to handle, that it is difficult to go back to the blurry 6.5 or 6.1 screen and I love sync with google calendar and mail. I also love the navigation and buttons concept, the courtain with the notifications and many other things. I also love the open concept behind linux and android. Remember Da_G being warned by lawyers for posting the 6.5 releases? that can not happen in Android. Some brands even support officially roms made by users !!!

The problem is that we certainly have a device old to cope with it all since Android seems to eat more RAM: this means the RAM is eaten only by having installed let's say 100 programs (in wm6.5 It performs better in my experience with so many programs). The performance of the device drops exponentially as you eat resources. Then you may want to try some more advanced setup like installing the NAND to the SD card either to a separate partition or to an enlarged data file, but then my experience so far is that the SD Card becomes unreliable (you may loose all) so yo need to transfer the backup to the pc...and that is difficult to live with for me. Another thing that wm6.5 beats android is about scripting: with mortscript it is so easy in wm6.5 !! but with Android you need a heavy pc platform and you need to learn new languages and tools, far more complex and advanced than windows equivalents.

How do I look at it? I have stopped working on my wm6.5 roms since I do not think I will last much more time on wm6.5; I will probably gift me a data plan (I never had one) and a super android terminal with a good battery, screen, accelerometer and ROM (+ all I have in the Polaris). Until then I have decided to be again a (almost) end user.

The other reason, probably the most important, to change device is that the Polaris forums (both android and polaris) have little posts, new ideas, knowledge sharing... since most people already upgraded the device, and xda developers was in my case the driver to get curious about how these devices work.

So I think wm6.5 works better in our Polaris for a heavy use thanks (thanks to all who made it posible) but Android works pretty well in our Polaris for a basic use and for evaluating wich one you like more. The easiest thing to do is test a haret installation (this means you load wm6.5 as OS, and then run haret = linux as a program that executes android) and if you like it, test nand installation with a different sd card.
[Touch Cruise General] cruiserrr:
Well, the difficult part with Android is to now what to flash: if the camera or wifi do not work well these means your android kernel does not like your "rom" release. In wm6.5 we only had two kernels the old kernel and recently a "native" wm6.5 kernel.

In Android you have more kernels basically programmed by a few expert cookers and developers, mostly DZO. You have a good post by l1q1d listing setups that should work on all devices. Try and ask for help. the newest kernel is 2.6.32 I think but has no good camera drivers. The previous kernel 2.6.25 supports camera but it is quite useless in my opinion (yes, the "horrible" camera we have can perform even worse than in wm!!). These are the kernels I have been testing but probably there are others. These kernels can not be combined with any release, the cooker must adapt the rom release to the kernel. So you need to locate a working combination so you must use the combinations tested by others (or experiment yourself). You also need to become familiar with modding the NBH to suit your device screen (the way to is atools again by l1q1d) Android has several major releases (eclair, froyo, ...) froyo 2.1 is like wm6.5 more experimental so many peopple stick to android 1.5, not so nice, but they say it works in a more stable way in the Polaris. Hope this helps.
[Touch Cruise General] WarByte:
Hi there,

I'm using a different device but I thought I'd comment anyways :) I cannot agree more to the statement of our devices being old. I think Android is a truly magnificent OS chained to our limited resources, however it is an amazing performer.

I am still on Donut (1.6) exactly because of the same reasons, battery life, reliability and speed. I have tried and messed with a lot of Android builds ported to our devices and I couldn't get the feeling off me that with Eclair and Froyo my poor Kaiser was struggling to operate.

I chose Android because no matter what I did to Winmo I was never completely satisfied. The closest I got to it was when I got PointUI and made myself a few custom things for it. In the end the performance with video and games was not so good due to the graphics driver issue from long ago. Once I got Android I had all that I needed, a good graphics performer, didn't need to find too many extra apps to satisfy my needs, and a GUI that I truly enjoy. I am also a very heavy gmail user and I do not even have outlook installed in my computer.

I love linux and terminal, another point for Android at least in my case.

On the development side of things my heart is with C++ and C# so I still prefer the .NET side of things. Java which thankfully is similar enough to C# as to grab it and start working on it for the first time is a very interesting experience, still getting used to a new environment though.

I use this as my everyday phone and after months of continued use I can't complain. I messed with Winmo so much that it was sluggish and needed to do a hard reset every now and then anyways.

Thanks for your info. I am sure it will help other users decide to give this a try. This is the only way to know for sure what your next device will be. As for me, I don't think I can live without Android anymore.

Hi

I just upgraded my T-Mobile Galaxy S Vibrant using KIES, and since then it just won't turn on! When I press the button to turn it on, it shows de Vibrant Screen, like it would boot properly... but suddenly it stops, the screen keeps all black forever...

I really don't have a clue of what to do.

i believe you are in the wrong Galaxy S section

Let me send you to the one it belongs to.

[Legend General] curto:
OK guys I'm so sick of this issue. Basically from my research there are thousands upon thousands of people with Android devices who go to university, or work in an office that uses a WiFi connection with wpa-enterprise or whatever and they can't use the net because there's no f**king proxy settings on Android. SO, this thread is meant to CLEARLY explain how to get proxy settings and hence use the net at uni and in the office or whatever. Calm down, I'm about to make life much easier ;)

First of all there is no stock rom that lets you do this on a Legend (at the moment) so the only way to get the settings is for you to root your phone. Now there's like a thousand guides on how to do this but the best one I've found is this. Anyways!

Next thing you have to do if pick a rom to run which has the proxy settings. Now I might add here that everything I'm saying from now on pretty much is for the Legend only ie the roms I mention and.. yeah. So the best rom to use at the moment in my opinion is CyanogenMod which you can find in Legend Development. It's perfect really. Feel free to try other roms but generally they need to be froyo based and you can check if you can do all this proxy stuff straight away by checking the wireless and networks section in the settings area of your phone. If there is a proxy settings section then yeah you can do it.

So yeah, once you're on one of these roms check that you actually have "proxy settings" in the wireless and networks section of your phone, which I might add only lets you use the internet via a browser ONLY. The next thing you need to do is install an app called "transparent proxy" which you can find here. This app lets you use apps via a proxy as well as the browser and thus giving you FULL internet access (use version 2.04 or higher). Another app I've heard that is meant to work as well is called "orbot" which you can find on the market.

If you do a google search you'll see issue 1273 which is all about this proxy issue and its been going on for over 2 years now. I dunno what google's problem is.. but at least thanks to some people it IS in fact possible to get the internet working via proxy on wifi.. you just gotta go to a bit of effort, well I know I did to figure all this ^ out.

Remember if you have anything to add or correct let me know, cheers.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Cool thread, really useful. But:

How wrong can you be. Both Azure and Indigo Bean are based on CyanogenMod (versions 6 and 5.0.8 respectively). Version 6.1 of CM is under heavy development, and it will replace Azure as it's the first version to officially support the Legend. There are nightly builds of CM for our phones, so every day something changes. It's about as actively developed on as Android itself.

:D

Also, what did you write your post in? Why are there so many line breaks?
[Legend General] curto:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no no mate you misunderstood, sorry I see now I wasn't clear enough. I didn't mean CyanogenMod in general was outdated and not being updated anymore. I meant that one in the roms section "[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 for HTC Legend" by kyosa. Sorry, I'll fix that up in the main post. And yeah what I've done is just pressed enter a lot to make the paragraphs look like that.. I kinda didn't know how to make a big essay readable so I just did that. I don't think it worked haha, let me adjust it. I'll try and eventually make it looks like a lot of the other guides when I get some more info and more response.
[General Questions and Answers] Visionov:
Alright, I seem to be in a mess. I really did try searching all over the forums for the problem(s) I have, some luck here and there but I believe my problem is a tiny bit unique. (I hope this is the right section)

I was always on rom 2.10.531.1 (the one I got from T-mobile in April). A couple of days ago, I decided to upgrade using "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1" Which obviously takes me to rom 2.13.531.1.

At this point, my bluetooth stopped working, I figured out it was the radio version which also changed. I used to be on 2.08.50.08_2.

So, I decided to change to Maxsense rom Miri_Steve0007_EleganciaMaxSense_V5.0_FINAL_NoHTCMessaging Before doing this I used SPB backup, once I upgraded the ROM to Maxsense then restored my files, I realized SPB backup wasn't recommended so it screwed up Maxsense + my bluetooth was still not working...

Okay, so I'm basically trying to go back to HTC HD2, the way I got it, so I can use a different backup tool like UC or SASHIMI and at the sametime hopefully fix the bluetooth issue + hopefully start using MAX sense...

Thanks for reading and hopefully somebody can get me out of my dilemma...

[Desire General] JonesWTF:
Now I'm not one to be jealous of iPhone users, but having seen this it makes me crave after a stainless steel back for my Desire. I have to admit the iPhone 4 is a good looking phone and this steel cover makes it look amazing but, you'd never catch me ever wanting anything on aesthetics alone (or anything that includes crappy iOS :p). I've been looking around the net for a while now to no avail. Does anyone know of anywhere that might sell something similar to this?
[Desire General] vicster:
Damn i agree that is SeXy!! ..

I would love that to
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
It would look good, though metal would degrade the signal reaching the antenna.
[Desire General] milkpowder:
That's probably true. With the antenna being right at the bottom of the phone, the grey rubber bit (where all the physical buttons are) will still allow some signal to reach the antenna. Does anyone know where the WiFi antenna is? I heard it's sorta midway down. Putting my hand against the middle does seem to attenuate the WiFi signal so a metal back probably isn't the best idea. That iPhone sure looks stunning though!
[Desire General] JonesWTF:
I'm sure it's the top left of the phone (viewing from the back). The last time a saw one in an exploded view it was right next to the bluetooth label.
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Thanks that's very useful to know. Will try and avoid placing my hand there when in landscape mode. When the signal's already been through a couple walls, the last thing it wants to do is to nudge its way through my grubby hands.

So this passed tuesday i finally took my HD2 into the local tmobile dealer because the digitizer had broken so i needed a replacement. this was handled quickly and today i received the new HD2. i turned it on and it booted fine, then i plugged it into activesync, it synced, then i went to install hspl but cancelled halfway through realizing i wanted to flash a radio. so i opened customruu and began the flashing process but got some error message a few times. then i decided to unplug it after cancelling, take out the battery, then put it back in and turn on the device. only, it stopped on the very first splash screen, the one where it only says tmobile, not the red writing in the bottom left corner..

any help please?

[EDIT]: now the phone restarts after every time i unplug it.

[ANOTHER EDIT]: now when i try to load chuckydroidrom it starts the process but the percent stays at 0 and i get an error and it runs me through a recovery thing.
[HD2 General] DeriquedeCoux:
No one has any help??
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
I think things got messed up by canceling the hspl flash. Try and reflash it (hspl). If that doesn't work, I would (were it me) try and flash a stock ROM from off the sdcard. Then flash hspl and you should be good.

Why did you cancel the hspl flash anyway? I believe you need hspl to flash a radio.
[HD2 General] DeriquedeCoux:
Well it doesn't always turn on all the way, but when it does it works fine. and i did reflash the hspl..

[Vibrant General] azsamsancho:
I just switched to Tmobile to get the Vbrant. The phone is amazing but at home i have very, very poor reception. Unless my phone sits next to the window, i do not get any calls!! Missed calls, voicemail are completely lost.

I noticed that if someone from another carrier calls me (and my phone sits next to the window), I can receive the call and continue to talk. However, if I make a call, if i manage, the call gets dropped after a few minutes.

At work i have much better signal.. in the city much better signal. But here in the county it's poor,esp around my house, or if i am in a store at the nearby plaza..

The worst thing is I do not get the missed calls nor voicemails. If i get that, at least i know to call back whenever i am in good reception area..

WHat should I do. Will an update to JI6 or froyo fix any of that? Or should i go back to AT&T get the captivate and use limited data plan of 2 GB :(?
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I get great reception surprisingly... better than my 9700 bold, g1 or any beater phone I've used. Since the update, I've gotten an extra bar of 3g in my office, where I'd normally get 0(but stay on 3g).
[Vibrant General] m4r10:
To be honest dude, if your signal is that bad at home and you can still back out, do it. Get the fascinate on Verizon. No data cap there.
[Vibrant General] azsamsancho:
No, i dont want verizon. It needs to be a gsm so i can use it in Europe..
[Vibrant General] tf442:
JI6 has improved my signal quite a bit.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
We're hopeful that UMP will be ported to the Vibrant eventually, but it's not a sure bet by any means. That would fix the signal while at home if you have WiFi. Other than that JI6 does seem to increase the signal strength.

~SB
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
JI6 does increase your reception because at work i usually get full Edge, and after JI6 I been getting one to two bar on 3G. The trade off is my battery drains more due to the stronger modem.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
JI6 has a battery depletion bug that has nothing to do with reception as I've had JI2, JI4 and JI5 with the same reception. The JIx series brings a fix for -dBm/ASU and in return the Android is able to recognize actual signal strength far better than before.
