[G2 and Desire Z General] ihateusernames:
That sucks. I feel for you.

I recently added my mother to my account and we got her a free, plain jane flip phone. When we ordered it, it said that someone would need to sign for it. Of course my wife and I work so they left the sticky note and I picked it up at the distribution center. When I got the pre ordered, not even released yet, top of the line G2, they just left it on the porch. I don't know, seemed backwards to me.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Damn, sorry man. That really isn't cool. I recently had USPS "lose" my G2 while trying to have it returned. Still haven't heard anything about where it is. Looks like I'll have to file a claim which a lot of people here say USPS claims can take months. I had $500 in insurance, but it's still a pain in the ass. Now I'm not only weary of USPS, but T-Mobile and UPS. T-Mobile would NOT let me return the phone at a store since I pre-ordered. I will never pre-order anything from T-Mobile again.

lol what?

stupid 10 char limit
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
FYI the shipper decides if signature confirmation is required (and if so, they pay extra.) Your only recourse is if a signature was required, but they dropped it off anyway. If so, UPS has to prove who signed for the package.

T-Mobile always flags *MY* packages as signature required. I don't see how this wouldn't be a company-wide policy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noxdrako:
To answer the question of how they know if your friends have it, when I worked as a csr I saw a few cases like that. Every phone shipped they have the imei for, if it activates on the system they know the phone number it activated on. If the number that activated it is in your call records the conclusion is that you know the person that has it. That kind of fraud came to my attention once or twice a month so pretty regularly. It sucks that a few dishonest people muck up what should be a simple process.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jrios1129:
i used to work for tmobile and u wont be held liable.. call again and tell them what the status is.. they have to send u a new one free of charge... they will send u a phone like ur buying it at full price but they will credit it.. ask to speak for a supervisor.. dont be rude or an ass... all they do its they check ur accoutn and the number u call for about 2 days if they dont see any actual usage on the line or mainly ur account of the model they HAVE to send u a new one
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
I agree about calling tmo and getting through to a manager. Be persistent but polite about it. I don't see why the police didn't file a report because you paid for the phone so it should be your property. I would advise going into a police station rather than dialing 911 to make the report. You can then advise tmo that you already filed a police report. Or you could get the imei and see if someone uses the phone so they can track it down. Regardless you need to get your property or your money, I wouldn't sit around however if one person doesn't want to help you.

HELP HELP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janusloo:
Just remove the battery, wait 1 minute, then put it back. Start download mode again. If it fails, take out the battery and try again. It should work. Then reflash with ODIN. Did u enable Repartition when your phone crashed? Then try to flash *without* Repartition. I had a similar situation before and this is how I solved it. Hope it helps.

Hi!

When i wanna use LiveWallPapers - The option is gone under wallpapers.. I think i removed something i shouldn't have removed..

Any suggestions on what program to reinstall, so that i get the option for Live Wallpapers back...

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tkgod:
Did you nandroid before doing modifications? If not, you can probably re-flash a ROM and it should correct the issue. Otherwise look for the live wallpaper apk file and put it in the system folder with the launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drkaosdk:
Thanks ! .. Will try that.. Thanks for fast reply.

Livewallpapers.apk and livewallpaperspicker.apk

Can be placed with root explorer or pushed via adb to system/app folder. ;)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suneater:
After Rooting my CDMA hero, I have had continuous problems with the phone restarting and resetting itself. I have tried different roms and nandroid backups I have made, I have wiped everything multiple times.

The phone often sits on the "htc" screen for a long time or boot loops to that screen and resets.

It seems like something is corrupted. Does anyone have any tips or help. Maybe I should just try re-rooting the entire phone, but I'm not sure what help that would do.

[Fascinate General] zeroxg4:
After hearing terrible horror stories of people following the proper instructions on how to remove the lagfix, I thought I'd ask some questions that might help many [inquiring] people as well as myself.

1.) If you have Voodoo installed, I assume that it's okay to install the current ROMs on xda (i.e. jt's superclean, frost's, blue breeze) because those ROMs flash /system and voodoo affects /data, correct?

2.) When flashing a ROM, it is recommended that you wipe data / cache to prevent any issues from occurring. The only issue with this is that you can't wipe data (from CWM) with Voodoo installed, correct?

3.) If the above answer is correct, then is there a more efficient way of wiping data WITHOUT having to disable lagfix (which seems to be causing problems for those who are even following the appropriate directions). For example, would clearing the delvik cache be a sufficient replacement for wiping data/cache to satisfy the recommendation when flashing a current ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] starscream84:
Hey there, I saw you had a bunch of views but no responses yet, so I thought I'd chime in, I'm not new to android or flashing roms, but this voodoo kinda freaked me out as well hearing all the horror stories. I still do not completely understand voodoo myself, but I can tell you from my expereinces, I have flashed a few themes and roms with Dirrks kernel with voodoo, and aside from the usual of taking your time and following the directions...

I use Root Explorer and create a "disable_lagfix" file inside the voodoo folder, and let everything run its course...i.e. when installing the kernel, it takes a long time and the screen does go black for part of it, but let it all play out and don't touch the phone, pull the battery, ect. and it does even take longer to remove voodoo once you put the "remove_lagfix" file and reboot.

I'd say it was a good 10 min. on the samsung screen before anything came back up and running, but I resisted freaking out and let everything boot up properly, and I have had zero problems with it.

It does take twice as long to load roms or themes becasue I always have preferred wiping all data and cache when installing new roms and creating a nandroid, just have had better luck in the past by doing that, so by disabling voodoo, leting it boot back up, doing the clockwork thing, then having to re-enable voodoo is a pita, but in my experiences its been no issue and i've never run into any issues so far. :D (fingers crossed now becasue of that statement)

Hope it helps you a little bit. :)

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. Now that theres a Voodoo Toggle things should be a bit easier ;)
[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
This is more of a general response to the idea of voodoo "horror stories" than your specific questions but I have installed/disabled voodoo many times to try different kernel variations/install new roms and I have never run into a problem. I'd have to think 90% of the horror stories can be traced to user error.

I'm not trying to be a **** or anything, this stuff can be confusing and I've made mistakes in the past as I'm sure everyone has.

All I'm saying is that if you're careful, patient and always follow instructions (and for me, I ALWAYS wipe data/cache before installing anything) I think voodoo and you (or any kernel/rom, for that matter) can have a wonderful relationship.

It will also only take one good f-up, followed by seven hours of fixing it to learn what not to do if you don't feel like reading first. :D
[Fascinate General] krazykidd:
throwing the phone into downloading will still wipe everything right?
[Fascinate General] dopepope:
just so im clear on this, based on what you're saying:

if i have voodoo (using jt's kernel) and want to install a rom I would disable_voodoo, let that take its course, install rom, reinstall voodoo?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
If all you were doing was installing the rom, you wouldn't have to disable voodoo first UNLESS the rom you were installing included a kernel and it was non-voodoo. If you wanted to make a backup, then you may need to disable voodoo first. If you're upgrading the kernel from voodoo to another voodoo kernel, you also wouldn't have to disable it before hand.
[General Questions and Answers] mike$47:
Hi,

does anybody know how to change the font color of the start Menue under WM 6.5 (See the marked text from the attachment)?

The suggestions here do not seem to work.

So far I tried the settings in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color\[1-40]

In WM 6.5 only 4 and 9 seem to work as expected.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] firetiger:
Maybe you could try opening startmenugridscene.cpr and edit the text colour manually.
[General Questions and Answers] mike$47:
Hi,

in my case I had to edit

StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr

instead of startmenugridscene.cpr but it was the right suggestion.

(Im using the NATALY 4.9 kitchen for topaz btw.)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skodked:
Thanks for the help so far, but couldn't find anything that solved my problem :/ Have to restart the phone every time it goes into standby
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Like many others, I am also experiencing this standby-of-death (SOD) problem: the lights in the buttons under the screen turn on, but the screen itself stays black. I have found out that it has to do with switching from 3G to 2G networks: the problem occurs after I have been at places where there is no 3G signal, but only 2G. For example, after a car trip or when going into the basement.

A workaround for this problem, is to type the code *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. You will then end up in a hidden menu. By choosing "Phone information" (first item) and then scrolling down in the next screen, you can change the "Preferred network type". By default, it was set to "WCDMA preferred" on my phone. After I changed this setting to "WCDMA only" (so, 3G only), I have not seen the SOD issue anymore (for 4 weeks now, before it happened almost daily).

A disadvantage of this workaround is that the phone will never use 2G anymore. So, when you are at a place where there is no 3G signal, you will be disconnected (i.e. you cannot receive phone calls). As an alternative, I have now reverted the setting to the original value ("WCDMA preferred") and I have installed an older radio image (version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2), which is considered to be more stable by many people. I'll test and see whether the problem reoccurs. If the problem stays away, it is apparently a software (radio image) issue. If not, it must be a hardware issue.

Anyway, if anyone has additional information about the root cause of this standby issue, please let me know!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
OMG I love you!

Seriously this has been doing my head in for weeks! I have posted a couple of times in this forum. First time, constantly remvoing and replacing the battery left me with a bricked phone. HTC revived it under warranty but after a week I got sick of Sense (and the poor battery life) and tried rooting again (tried Redux and CM7) but the problem came back. Makes sense because it works fine around Bristol (loads of 3G) but constantly SODs in Bournemouth (flicks between 2G and 3G at my desk). Also, just had data off for a few hours and didn't get SOD once.

I am not up on the lingo yet as I am fairly new to rooting but running Baseband version 32.49.00.32H_5.11.05.27. Is this the radio?

Please keep me posted on the older radio version. Shouldn't need a long test period, just need to go from a known 3G area to a known 2G area while locked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
Yes it is the radio. ;)

I have got GingerVillain (Based on CM) and I use the Power Control widget to switch between 2G and 3G. You can customise the widget (just add it to a screen) to get this feature.

I haven't got any 3G around my house so I don't need to activate it all the time :p :D.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
Yeah Redux has a similar thing so I will use that until a proper solution is found.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
Small update: enabling 2G only didn't fix the issue (I think 3G only is okay) so perhaps the issue is with 2G rather than switching between the two.

Instead I am using an app called "3G Data Only!" so that 2G can still be used for calls but not data, working great so far.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
I have tied the latest Radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23) and the problem does not go away.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icysoul:
How come this problem doesn't occur to (many) others? Could it be related to your network provider? Maybe you could change the SIM with another, from another network, and see what happens. Also, you could make use of the phone warranty - if it's still covered by it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
On o2 (in UK) right now, will try out another sim later. As for warranty, never had any issues on non-root Froyo Sense so can't do anything.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
I also have this SOD issue with the older radio ROM versions, so installing an older version is not a solution.

I can confirm that. I have tried most of the radios listed here and here, they all have the SOD issue.

Guess that's just pure luck...

Great, I'll try this application! Would be very nice if that fixes the problem without disabling 2G phone calls. I never use 2G for data (too slow anyway), but I would like to be able to still make phone calls when out of range of 3G cells.

It might be, I don't know. I'm using a Telfort SIM, connected via the KPN network (Netherlands).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
3G data only works a treat for that, you can make calls.

Found with the old radio that it is a lot more stable than the new radio but not 100% perfect. Where I work I only have 2G and it would SOD all the time but now it doesn't. However on a journey I make with intermittent 2G/3G I did get a SOD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
3G Data Only doesn't work well enough. The SOD issue does occur less frequently, but the phone still hangs sporadically. So, if have disabled 2G completely again.

You should try Insertcoin. I haven't had this issue since I started using IC v32 a2sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichimongo-ji:
Hi there. So i get the same thing on mine. I thought I should report my experience.

Had it over a year old then all of a sudden it started acting like this

heres what i tried

Factory reset, rooted it twice, boot with no sim, no SD card, dismantled it via instructions I found on an android forum to check for loose connections, gave it to a friend who ran some different roms, overclocked it, underclocked it. Its currently on the Oxygen rom, no difference. I tried the secret menu from page one of the comments. I tried living with leaving the screen on for 30 mins..but its so impractical

I should add that if i leave it for say a couple of hours, the damn thing comes on just fine. Its only from being on, to off, then back on..

I think its hardware related, maybe something to do with the power being held back for the screen or something. All i can say is that its really doing my tits in and i'm currently using my old phone which is functional but not as fun.

What can i do next...send to HTC, i'm out of warranty but their repair centre can still have a look, or buy a faulty phone off ebay and harvest some parts...

I dont want to give up on it, because apart from this the phone works fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinSvK:
guys i had this problem too, when i force to use 3G only everything works perfect but in area with no 3G signal your phone become useless cuz you are out of network, i also had a self-rebboting problem and i sent my lovely desire to htc repair center, they replace mobo and now i am waiting to receive my phone back and i will test this issue, if everything will works correctly in 3g/gsm etc you guys need to do the same and sent your phone to repair,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinSvK:
this problem is not ROM, RADIO etc related for SURE! i guess is faultly motherboard,

simple Q guys you are using HTC Desire with serial number starts with -

HT04-HT08 if you are in this range dont hesitate and sent you phone to repair if you are not out of warranty :) for those who are out of Warranty look at Ebay :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurin8:
Guys, I had the same thing. It stopped when started using insertcoin and then rcmixs.

It definitely is NOT faulty motherboard, I had it changed and kept doing it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
By (more or less) coincidence I installed InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.9 yesterday, for two reasons: first, it is based on the official HTC Gingerbread ROM for the HTC Desire, which solve another problem for me, namely that I don't need to enable data roaming anymore with my (virtual) provider Telfort. Secondly, I remembered that you told me before that you solved the SOD problem by installing InsertCoin.

Anyway, I am using 2G and 3G again and I will see if the problem appears again the coming weeks; I'll keep you updated!

No, the serial # starts with MB04. The mainboards with the serial numbers you mention are notorious for different reasons (reboot problems due to overheating).

I'm not so sure it is (solely) a hardware problem. And even if it is a HW problem, it might not be triggered by a ROM using different settings.

Let's hope so... if so, I will not encounter this nasty behavior anymore. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinSvK:
I dont know guys, for me nothing that i try wont work :/

after official update from HTC to froyo 2.2 the problem with SOD with 3g/gsm starts, I"ll try many different roms but nothing solve this issue,

i will be more wisely after i receive my desire from repair and after that i will report you guys if the problem still presist.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Please keep us informed!

In the mean time, I experienced an SOD again, so upgrading to InsertCoin has not fixed it for me...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
I am not convinced that it is a hardware related problem. I got the motherboard replaced on my Desire after the constant recurrance of the problem killed my phone. Then the problem came back with the new motherboard. However, I then went to CM7 with 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio and haven't had a SOD for about 2 months.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Although I did experience an SOD shortly after installing InsertCoin, things have improved compared to when I was still using the Froyo stock ROM. Before, I experienced SODs -- probably due to a temporary loss of the 3G/UMTS data connection (and the phone switching to 2G/GPRS) -- on two occasions: when I drove to my work (by car) and when I visited a local supermarket (the 3G signal strength inside is quite low there).

Since I use InsertCoin, I have only experienced another SOD when visiting this supermarket (since then, I only went there once, so it's 1 out of 1). However, I do not get an SOD anymore when driving the car to my work, so things have improved actually.

Today, I requested a new SIM card from my provider since my current card is already more than 5 years old and someone else has posted a message stating that replacing the SIM card for a new one has solved this problem for him. Let's see if this also works for me...
