If you call TMO they will say it's back ordered for a week, but may ship much sooner. So only online sales are "halted", but TMO stores, Radio Shack and other resellers are still selling the "defective" units? I doubt it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rwbarnes67:
I am a manager of a Target Mobile and we have had no communication from T-Mobile about halting the sales of the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] o>c:
The guy says he has inside info from HTC, not Tmo

All we can do is to wait and see if the newer G2s are spring loaded
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
I have no problems with mine, but I just might make some up if they next ones will be spring loaded haha. No worries here though, could careless sorta if this is fake.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
^^^ This....

If it is true great, if not oh well. Nothing really lost.

Might "brick" my phone via OC'ing if the spring loaded ones come out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
I hate when people do stuff like this.

Just tell them you want the better hinge, or make up an issue that doesn't truly exist. There's no sense in destroying perfectly fine hardware just to satiate your little desires.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
You can't actually kill something by OC'ing... they build in protection mechanisms on the CPU die itself. You'd have to ESD it or run it extremely overvolted for a serious period of time to do any actual damage.

Also, in all actuality the "crappy" hinge G2's would never be resold and thus would have 0 value.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TFJ4:
I'd feel bad if HTC hadn't screwed us over and locked down the eMMC. With that said, go for it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
Interesting News. My hinges seem a bit loose. But, I already put the full body protector around it. I still have 30 days from radio shack to return.

I wonder if i should. If they got the new batch in yet. maybe I will go check.

Thanks for the info.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
It's illegal to host them so you'll have to find them hosted somewhere other than XDA. I don't have a Galaxy S so I don't hae a proper link for you guys but someone else should.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehsam:
Experiencing a strange issue with my wifi. I have wifi related profiles set up on tasker, so the wifi turns on every 10 minutes to scan for ssids and then turns back off. It activates different sound settings depending on whether it sees my work wifi or home wifi (and automatically turns on and connects to home network)

About once a day when I'm at work I notice that my work sound profile turns off, and when I go into settings\wireless it shows "error" underneath wifi (where it would ordinarily show "turning on" etc.)

Generally I can just manually turn wifi back on and then everything works as normal again, but a few times I have had to reboot the phone to get wifi to turn on. I have no problem connecting to networks and seem to stay connected just fine once I'm on a network but it is frustrating to have to go in and do this manually almost every day. Plus if my work sound profile gets disabled at the wrong time it could result in my phone ringing during a meeting, which would be very bad.

I'm running cognition beta7 froyo. If anyone has any insight about possible solutions or things I could explore, I'd appreciate it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takerfan:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BriEE:
I'm still trying hard to figure out customization on my Desire.

In all cases, really I find you don't really need any widgets, like stuff for contacts/social network/SMS/calendar etc, you can access all of that via icons or shotcuts links etc.

Just wondering should I even bother to put wigets or just keep everything icon based? I know this is matter of taste and opinion but I'm at a deadlock and I don't know what to put.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
get apps organizer from the market, and you dont need to put all the apps on your homescreen anymore - also, there are some really nice widgets around
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BriEE:
Well my current "theme" i'm working on is attached.

Not really minimalist, but I might go to do, not super minimal but just enough to show what info I need and get to quick things.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
For me, contrary to many, I really don't care of "themes" etc for my phone as long as it is black-ish. I have added basic changes but only quick 'n' easy ones and they don't mean much to me in terms of value and worth. I could just as happy live without them.

I set it up for speed and functionality in my every day life whilst maintaining my usual battery runtimes. Quickest, easiest access and display of whatever I do frequently and repeatedly with the least power drain. For this, some widgets are an absolute must. It's difficult to characterize how much they help me but I use them extensively. Extended Controls, Quick Boot, Google search bar, HTC Bookmarks/Calendar/Stocks, Pure Messenger (Mail/GMail/SMS), Appointment display, All Sync, 3G Watchdog, LED Hacks, Mini Info and Apps Organizer/Folder Organizer. Simple icon shortcuts couldn't carry out the objectives they fulfil at such speeds, with such organization and with that much less user interaction.

In the end, how much widgets offer will vary user to user but there is no equivalent to these for me.

[Windows Phone 7 General] richardddd:
Hi folks,

I've got an HTC hero with some modifications made to it. The hardware in that so called smartphone is not to good and it is a bit laggy (yes, even with overclocked cpu and custom kernel etc).

This new OS from Microsoft seems to get the job done pretty good but lets face it: the hardware underneath these latest phones are 1 generation.

I wanna buy a new phone and i want a hi-end windows phone 7 phone (thinking about samsung omina 7), but is it worth to buy one one, or should i wait for it to next year when they put in some new stuff like dual core processors n' ****?

What do you think?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
It depends.

The hardware is pretty good at the moment and if you need a new phone then I recommend getting one but if you don't and you can wait for about 6 months then I would wait.

[Desire Themes and Apps] EnF70:
This application is only for users affected by the "No service / Limited connectivity" problem.

If your phone drops the network connection and the only solution is to toggle the airplane mode on/off or reboot your phone to restore the signal then you can try this.

The application monitors (listens) for a "Limited connectivity" situation then switches the airplane mode to ON for 2 seconds. The switch is delayed by 10 seconds to allow the phone to recover itself (if possible).

The UI is basic, showing the last 20 or so lines of log (screenshot attached).

The service starts automatically at boot or when invoked from the UI and it only runs when notified by the Android OS that the phone lost the connectivity to the network.
[Android Themes] Wheezy_be:
Hi all,

I'm working on some wallpapers for android, but I want to know the exact size of the image for each phone/resolution so that the user doen't have to crop the picture.

In my case, I have a Desire, which has a resolution of 480*800, and most people use 5 pages (left2, left1, center, right1, right2).

How can I figure out the correct width for the wallpapers, as the scroll is kinda weird.

I hope you get what I mean :)

Also, can someone post the different resolutions of android phones?

Thx in advance for any answers
[Android Themes] Wheezy_be:
OK, I figured it out...

Phone Resolution = Wallpaper Size

240x320 = 480x320 (QVGA)

240x400 = 480x400 (WQVGA)

240x432 = 480x400 (WQVGA)

320x480 = 640x480 (HVGA)

480x800 = 960x800 (WVGA)

480x854 = 960x854 (WVGA)

Hope somebody will find this useful too :)
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:

i actually found op's results somewhat useful but then also poster ^ there for explaining it by x2 by x1. i have been having trouble finding a good wallpaper cause my tablet is 7" but res. is, i think, 800x480. so my size would be 1600x480, right?

the issue i always have is when i pick a wall it tells me to crop but even after i crop it, it doesnt size it correctly like i had cropped it :confused:

tablet is orignally in landscape but w/ a rotate app i also use portrait, if that even matters at all
[HD2 Accessories] degake:
I've got a question for everyone who has the CU-S400 carkit or the CC-C200 car charger...

Does the CC-C200 charger (which is also supplied within the CU-S400) activate NaviPanel?

Or will this only happen with the car holder?

I just like to know, because why should I buy another CU-S400 for in my second car, when I could use my universal holder + the CC-C200 (it saves me some $$ for my speeding tickets :rolleyes: :cool:)

I hope someone can help me out :)

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Accessories] Bigcountryed:
The actutal car kit activates the Navi Panel, not the charger. If you look closely at regular micro usb charger tips, on the inside, its like 4 little slots, but on the charger itself, the micro usb that actually connects to the HD2 has 5, which tells the HD2 that it has been docked, therfore launching the NaviPanel.

PS... the long usb cord that comes in the navigation kit is a standard usb cord, nothing special about it at all. The magic is all in the dock's USB.

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Accessories] degake:
Yes, it's all I needed to know :)

And it's the answer I thought it would be... :)

Thx for the fast response ;)

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Accessories] Masterix275:
Something you might want to consider:

Create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\ Programs (so when you tap start it appears in the list) pointing to "NaviPanel" (not NaviPanel.exe") locatend under Windows folder and that way you can launch it when you like... Using an icon changing software you can change the icon of your shortcut...

UPDATE: Phandroid Quote:

"It looks like someone didn’t take too kindly to what appeared to be rigged voting in Wall Street Journal’s poll yesterday asking “who makes the best mobile operating system?” After Google seemed to get ahead of the pack after at least 9,000 legitimate votes, Windows fan sites have been rallying up to take them down and put Microsoft ahead. The tide has turned yet again, but this time it’s a lot more numerous. According to the poll today, Google now makes the best operating system owning 94.4% of the votes. A whopping 357,000 votes have come in for them, so far, leaving everyone as far behind as far can get. We’re sure this is the result of an Android lover who wouldn’t take the insult of rigged voting lying down."

I have been playing with xdandroid on my Verizon TP2 for a long time, and have decided its time to switch from win mo to android. Although on the TP2 alot doesnt work, I love android!

Thanks for any thoughts.

Chris Seeley
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aquasdragon:
Many would argue that the droid one is best
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitbang3r:
For Verizon? Your best bet is probably the Fascinate... maybe the Incredible. From what I've read, the Incredible is more usefully-hacked today, but I believe the Fascinate is likely to have the brightest long-term hacking future.

The big difference between the two: HTC violates the GPL and builds a monolithic kernel with proprietary drivers compiled directly into it, then unceremoniously hacks them out and $hits the hollowed-out carcass on the curb. HTC's kernel source is a half step short of completely useless, and building custom kernels for HTC phones that fully support its hardware (camera, bluetooth, etc) is a never-ending challenge that begins anew with every upgrade. Put another way, HTC's kernel source isn't buildable at all (it has dependencies on files they didn't include and broken references), let alone buildable into a kernel that can be used in the phone. Samsung, in contrast, releases nice kernel source that actually builds, and neatly bundles its proprietary drivers into proper loadable kernel modules.

Put another way, more progress has been made on the Incredible since it's been out for almost 6 months now (vs ~6 weeks for the Fascinate), but the Fascinate today is roughly where the Incredible was 3-4 months after its release. The Epic4G had custom kernels built from the ground up less than a month after its release. Most month-old HTC phones are lucky to have slightly-hacked and tweaked kernels that don't break one or more major peripherals. In fact, the biggest delay for the Epic (and presumably Fascinate) wasn't building a kernel... it was building the replacement bootloader and ripping backup copies of the ROM before blowing it away (the bundled apps from Samsung, Sprint, and Google can't legally be redistributed, so the only way to get them in a new ROM is to rip them from your stock ROM and save a backup copy to restore after reflashing)

Forget Motorola phones even exist. The likelihood of ever being able to truly reflash a Droid2 or Droid X is slim. They've both been rooted, and are hackable to some extent, but with both, you're always going to have to worry about Motorola or Verizon changing the metaphorical locks on the door while you're not paying attention and seriously compromising your satisfaction with your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cseeley:
Thanks.... It just so happened that the fascinate is FREE at bestbuy today. Had to order it online, but I can deal with that.

So it is on order.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] generalamerica:
The incredible is just as hackable as the first droid but twice the speed and way sleeker I've had both and I much prefer the Incredible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitbang3r:
Congrats on the Fascinate! :)

One other benefit of the Fascinate over the Incredible. The Incredible shares much of its design with the Desire, but the only other Desire that's CDMA is US Cellular's. Verizon has never really promoted the Incredible heavily (first they ran out of them for months, then the Droid2/DroidX came along to take Verizon's top spots), and US Cellular is kind of like Alltel was... not exactly a small company, but not exactly T-Mobile, AT&T, or Sprint, either.

In contrast, the Fascinate shares much of its architecture (including the GPU) with the entire Galaxy S family, and shares the most proprietary parts of its architecture with the Epic4G, which IS Sprint's flagship (or at least reigning co-champion) phone right now. So, in the long run, there won't be any shortage of AOSP-based ROMs that combine the CDMA-specific stuff from the Epic with the family-wide stuff from the rest of the Galaxy S line. Even if the Fascinate never really gets heavily promoted by Verizon or attracts a huge number of developers, the fact that it can more or less benefit directly from so many other family members is IMHO a huge plus. Oh, also... US Cellular has the Mesmerize, which IS pretty much identical to the Fascinate.

The Incredible is a very nice phone. If Verizon released it with the same form factor as US Cellular's Desire (specifically, the real hardkeys) and managed to keep them in stock long enough to tempt me, it might have been the phone that got me to leave Sprint. But knowing what I know now (6 months later) about the kernel architectures and cross-family compatibility of both HTC's phones and Samsung's, I do think the Samsungs are going to have a long, fertile life as phones for hacking.
