[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigw34:
Hey guys, I'm new to the android scene and just recently rooted my Evo. I backed up all my info via "my backup pro" and restored after rooting.

Last night I went on my computer and edited/added contacts to my gmail account to sync with my phone since I came from blackberry and sprint ported my numbers to the Evo sd card. However I want to add the sd #'s to google contacts, but my phone keeps giving me an error that sync is not properly working at the moment.

Additionally, I now have a "unamed" contact in my phonebook, but when I click to edit it, it has the contacts name, number, etc... Also, when I try to delete this unamed contact it, the htc people app force closes...

I tried to explain the best I can, can anyone help me? Much appreciation in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
Try exporting all your contacts from the People app then try delete all the data for Contacts and People and import the data back. You could also try taking the exported contacts and importing in to gmail through the web interface assuming the export is CSV or similar format.

Especially compared to the beauty of the HTC Desire.

It's the software that is so amazing...

By the way, the front looks hot as hell however. It's just that discolored back that's turning me off.

EDIT: Fixed links
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
sorry, plz update the pics, we see some TW logo and not pics...
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I really like the look of the back.

Also it looks like the DHD is slightly thinner than the Desire!
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
The Desire has that same gordy brown colour, i think earlier versions was titanium blue, like in solopalmari's early video, the early video also has a noise cancelling mic;(

Starting to like the look of the Zee better;)

[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
You thinking about changing your mind JD ?
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
Well it's personal taste really isn't it, I don't really like the look of the Desire, but I love the front of the Desire HD, the back I don't really like or dislike.
[Desire HD General] BumRush:
Personally I thought the Desire was quite the ugly phone and that the Desire HD is the improvement. Neither are as appealing to me personally as the HD2 aesthetically though.
[Desire HD General] Idree:
1 word:

ALUMINIUM

No cheapass plastic/glass ;p, SPLENDID aluminium :3
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
I was, and then i just think of all the extra power it has, and relent mate;))) Hopefully we should get it by the end of next week;))) I had the same problem choosing between the desire and the legend, then in the end always opt for power;))) z is a nice phone though, dont you think?

JD
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
I like the design very very much.

My only concern is about the non aluminium part and how they fit with the	aluminium parts.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I'm a bit OCD in that I like symmetry - so the front of the Desire annoys me somewhat, so I am pleased that the HD is symmetrical! I can forgive the back as I wont be looking at it so much :)
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
Yeah it def is. It would be nice to have the 2 side by side to compare them though as you say its the extra oomph !! :)
[Desire HD General] Alize:
Couldn't agree more.

Both Desire and DHD are ugly as hell in my opinion, especially compared to HD2 - if only I could get a stable build of Android running on my HD2 - black screens happen more and more often the older any build becomes on mine :mad:

I have fell in love with Android since using it on my HD2 which has desired (no pun intended) me to get the DHD - the screen is the only thing putting me off!
[Desire HD General] kekkle:
Still a bit ugly aluminium...
[Desire HD General] malex1:
While I can understand peoples views on the aesthetics of the DHD, surely most of you will not see the back while you are using the phone.

A large percentage will put the phone in a case or gel glove so will not see the colour of the back.

The DHD's aluminum case is a lot stronger than the Desire which is cheap bendable plastic and easier to damage.

The DHD phones hardware and software is better and the screen is larger, and, I have heard rumours, you can make phone calls on it.
[Desire HD General] Smigit:
I think it looks fantastic actually. Only issue I have is the plastic bits not being flush with the aluminum body, they look a bit off in some video's. Besides that I think it all looks pretty sleek and hopefully that issue is just a pre-release thing.
[Desire HD General] AndreasA88:
The black version looks way better than the brown imo. Thats what i didnt like about the deisre, that damn brown color was fugly.

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6311/desirehdcolors.jpg
[Desire HD General] gwud:
I don't like the brown, but I do prefer the front of the DHD over the look of the Desire.

I'm not sure if I'll prefer the look of the brown DHD over my black Desire. I guess I'll find out when it arrives.
[Desire HD General] alexluckett:
I prefer the brown version in the picture above ^^

I love the DHD looks! I have yet to see it in the shops though :)!

It works great, had it for my HD2 and using it on the G2. I like the vent mount and it swivels.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chickensushi:
I've been using this one from Arkon that I got off Amazon for 15 bucks. It looks a lot like the picture above, and it comes with a mount for the windshield, AC vent, and dashboard. The "clamps" also have a cutoff so I can charge my G2 even when it's mounted!

I can't post the link cause I'm new...but you can look it up on Amazon.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sinned17:
Definitely some great find guys. I actually got my proclip to work with my G2. Ill try to get pics up later. The only caveat is I can't charge the phone while it is in the mount. Why couldn't HTC put the usb connection at the bottom?

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
I ordered the Arkon SM514 last night from Amazon. I've been missing my N1 car dock like crazy. I like the idea of this one from Arkon even more, because it looks like it will work great even with a case installed, and will give more angle and positioning options than the N1 dock does.

I'll post some pics once I get it installed. Can't wait!

I also ordered one of these 90 deg micro usb cables which may or may not be beneficial to use when the phone is docked. I use a USB charger in the car.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] trigeek:
ProClip / Brodit is coming out with their custom Desire Z / G2 mount soon. It's on brodit's main site in sweden, but is not showing up on the ProClip USA site yet. I have their mount for my G1, and it's awesome. Very solid. Here's what the G2 one looks like:

Their mounts are pricey, but IMHO well worth the cost.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] zuludelta9:
Dang I think we have a winner.. Oh wait, no case love?

HMM decisions decisions lol.

BTW as far as that Arkon one up top... what do you think of the cigarette lighter one?

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gulo101:
Can anyone let me know if the Arkon mount works in landscape mode ? Since the legs are only on top and the bottom I wonder if the phone will slide out if I turn it sideways ?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gulo101:
hmm according to pics here - http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/assets/g2_mount_gallery/index.html you can use it in landscape mode. I am just a bit worried if the phone will not fall out in that position with nothing holding it on the bottom.

Also pics, video and manual on their website shows G2 in the product pics but not when I got to amazon or any other place that sells it. Can anyone confirm that those versions come with the extra long legs for G2 ? (part SP-SM050-LF - Extra Long Support L GN014-SBH egs (2 Pack) for larger phones)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaytxvo:
why do you guys need to have the keyboard out while driving, doesn't make sense to me.

Also for landscape mode

http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Univers...OOZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287631801&sr=8-1

I think this is the BEST mount for the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
As soon as I get it, I'll let you know. Check out the youtube video from the manufacturer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH6mJB2wuko). They show it working fine in landscape. Of course that's just on a bench, not in a moving vehicle. I'll check it out for myself soon.

I'm loving the idea of being able to leave the case on to use it, though. That was one annoying thing about the N1 dock...popping the case off every time I needed to use the dock.

I also agree that driving with the keyboard out seems ridiculous.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gulo101:
Have you used this one specifically with G2 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaytxvo:
Yes! it came in the mail yesterday and it fits the phone perfectly, I use a case on my phone so its an added bonus.

The reason why I like this better then the other version that people are posting of the Arkon is that the sides that grip the phone I feel is more secure.

Also you get an air vent holder.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gulo101:
hmm I might get that one, is the phone really secure ? Now worries about it falling off ? :)

The only other thing I wonder about - all these mounts cover the speaker so I wonder if the sound is really muffled/low volume

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. At this time we do not have a Holder for the HTC G2

We do (their emphasis) anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available.

Any recommendations for a good friction mount for the G2? I would prefer a mount I can just plop on the dashboard and easily remove when I park my car, instead of suction cup or vent mount that I have to fiddle with.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] KShatzkes:
Check out the Arkon SM512 on this page.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Efroh:
Thanks, I have the clear hard-case plastic T-Mobile shell on my G2, so my only concern is that this mount won't fit the phone with the case on. Once Amazon starts selling it I'll pick it up, as I need it to be easily returnable if it doesn't fit.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaytxvo:
Then get the one I recommend, it comes with a plastic plate you put on your dash. then you can suction cup it onto the dash and remove whenever.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
You should do some kind of bluetooth in your car anyways. It really completes the entire "hands-free" experience. There are a ton of options, and other threads to check out discussing that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801837
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gulo101:
yeah I would really like something like that but I don't have line-in jack in my stereo, and I don't want to replace my stock radio with one that has BT built in.

Right now I use FM transmitter for my ipod but it only has the ipod dock connector so can't use 3.5 mm jack from the phone, sucks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
Yeah, I had to add a line-in to my stock Ford stereo.

However, there are bluetooth speakerphone devices like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0030BZ7HM/ref=mp_s_a_3?qid=1287719319&sr=8-3

Might be worth looking into? What kind of car do you have? You may be able to add an aux line in.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] QwertyAccess:
I use arkon mount, works magnificently on G2, as long as your G2 isn't covered in lubricate/oil it should be just fine, even in landscape mode theres no chance of it slipping out, and it takes a lot of effort to even nudge the thing while its clamped.

On plus side, i imagine it'll work with 95% of phones out there in future.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
Droid X car mount works, I had to turn around the usb connector which was easy and the G2 fit. Will try and get some pics up later.

ProClip G2 Holders

I really like the look of these. The only problem is it looks like all the separate mount pieces available for my car are pretty much permanent installs. You have to wedge them between gaps in the panels and it sticks with double sided tape. I like that they're more secure than windshield and dash mounts, but in Baltimore the last thing you want is something that advertises "possible expensive electronic device inside" permanently fixed to your car.

Edit: Holy crap! The straight power cord for fixed installation model has a 2 amp charger. The fast charger that comes with the phone is only 1 amp, and that's double what most chargers can provide. Does anyone know what the maximum current the G2 can pull is?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] skyjumper:
Just got the Arkon flexible gooseneck mount, and I was actually kind of impressed. It's meant to be bolted to the car, and came with two different kind of brackets for doing so. My goal was to bolt it under the dash, and the gooseneck was a little short for that, but I came up with a solution that works pretty well.

Still, this is the first one I've come across that actually seems like it'd be good long term, including through future phone upgrades. Would buy again, A+++, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MassimoM2:
thanks for pics of ProClip.

i feel like G2 will fly away and crash the navi seat window if you make a tight left since G2 is really heavy so inertia will be strong.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Deuces:
this arrived for me yesterday

it's a very tight fit for the g2 in gel case (TMO Store one)

on the up-side, it's pretty sturdy, and it definately will not drop the phone in landscape. willing to bet it'd stay there in a 50mph crash.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mptpro:
Which gooseneck mount did you buy? Did you install it yourself or have someone do it for you?

What is the "solution that works pretty well" that you refered to?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dadewy:
Another vote for the Arkon. Love mine.

@Deuces: Did you use the longer "legs" that came in the package? They make for a less tight fit.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dadewy:
Just as an FYI, this is totally a 5 minute job, regardless of your (lack of? :D) mechanical skill. Undo one bolt, which is typically sitting out in the open or under a little plastic cap, slip in the mount, tighten bolt, done.

Also, meant to multi-quote. Oops. Sorry for the double post.

[Advantage X7510 General] AviUA:
Please don't laugh too loudly - my bag was swept off it's hook on the tractor by a low-hanging branch ....

Everything works but the LCD screen is now modern art. Even the digitizer seems to respond. I can even sync and explore it from my desktop.

But I need help with two issues:

First and foremost, where to get a new LCD/digitizer, and will I be able to install it myself (I've been all through my Tungsten T3, but have never opened the Advantage). Will I lose all my customizations due to having the battery out for a long time?

Second of all, I have a lot of mission-critical data trapped in there, specifically in hundreds of notes stored on the SSD, passwords in a password-safe with no desktop app, and of course all my PIM stuff. Ideally, I'd like to move everything into my venerable Tungsten T3 until I can fix or replace the Advantage, because carrying a pad of paper and then coming home and typing everything in just doesn't do it for me - plus I need the data with me in the field. I've been told I can synchronize desktop Outlook with the Palm device, but I don't trust outlook not to trash all the data that is still in the Palm - any hints?

I hope this isn't too OT, but will gladly accept three lashes with a wet noodle if it is ....

TIA for help,

-avi
[Advantage X7510 General] AviUA:
OK, here's an interesting question for the experts:

The advantage has VGA out - I own the dock, and in the past verified that it worked. If I could hook it up to an external monitor, at least I could get at my stuff again, and maybe convert all the *.PWI files to some format compatible with something else, rescue my passwords locked up in a password safe that doesn't have a desktop version (hear the sound of a person firmly kicking himself in the seat of the pants), etc.

BUT - I can't see due to the broken screen to turn on the driver for the VGA! Is there a way around this Catch-22?

so i have HD2 with HSPL and 2.10 radio installed (i didi it half year ago), i've been using Android and Stock WM (1.48). It was launching by Dula boot program on start. Two days ago my battery discharged (first time since I installed android) I plugged it in and charged a little bit then I turned it on and it stucked on HTC screen (white screen with Htc logo and radio and rom version on the bottom) I performed a soft reset few times and once it loaded to the PIN menu, but sreen wasn't responding so I made soft reset one more time, it loaded PIN menu again, I clicked my PIN then I chose to boot Android and it stucked on booting. Then I performed a Hard reset but it didn't help.

If it matters, I have still access to the bootloader.

Please help me. Thank You in advance.
