Can't post a link from my phone...I think. Lol.

I tried to load yours and it said to visit from a PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] papeshfoo:
Also, what is this caching you speak of? I've seen it on the app, but never used it since I dunno what it does...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
You download hours worth of music from any station of your choose for offline listening. When offline listening you don't need a data connection and you save tons on battery because you're not pushing anything through your data connections because the music has been downloaded. If you have a paid account you can cache 25 station. Be warned it takes a long time to cache stations, so only do it when you go to bed. Just leave it downloading, I usually only do 3-5 stations. I also found it helpful to go into settings and not allow the device to update by itself when it hits a wifi connection.

Another thing is go to menu>setting>wireless & networks>wi-fi setting>menu>advance>wifi-sleep police>never>and then the home button. This now makes so your wifi connection doesn't cut off when the screen is off. You're caching doesn't get interrupted when the screen is off.

It's an awesome feature. Try it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
OP question on the caching. How many songs does it cache? Also, how long does it stay on your phone (expire?). Sounds very interesting and I would lean towards getting it if it works out how I think it does.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] papeshfoo:
I've already done the wifi sleep thing, I hated that it would shut off...

Thatnks for the info on the caching, I never noticed it in the menu options...I mostly use slacker at work so this will be very useful.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
I dont know for sure ive read 100 songs per station. You get to cache 25 stations. Only 4.99 a month. I've only cached 1 set of stations on my g2 music device which is not my phone and I've never had to change the songs out again so I'm pretty sure it saves 100 songs per station. You get it for free 14 day if you wanna test it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] papeshfoo:
Actually its only 3.99 a month...atleast that's what I get charged.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] InGeNeTiCs:
I tried slacker(paid) twice on my nexus one. The first time, was for a long trip down a truck route(less traffic and construction) to georgia. The second time was for a trip down to visit my wife's friend in myrtle beach.

First time: It worked well. Caching worked great. It never stopped playing the whole time. 14+ hours and it didn't stop.

Second time: It didn't work right. It wouldn't load songs. It kept skipping ahead on it's own. Caching didn't seem to work.

Even though it worked well the first time, I found that it's selections weren't nearly as accurate as pandora. I'd pick music by lil wayne, and a couple songs in it would start playing lady gaga and mariah carrey. Nothing against the two artists, but the genres don't exactly mix. In my opinion, if pandora were to incorporate caching(they've said they will not), it would be the perfect app.

I'm going to revisit slacker on my g2 and hopefully get some new results. :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
Make sure when your start the caching of stations your phones signal is strong and uninterrupted. Calls don't affect the WiFi signal. That may be causing it to freeze or skip. When making custom station slacker gives you a very long list of artist / bands for you to determine which to play and which not to play You also have the option to ban artist from your station... no more lady gaga.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] daaango:
lol no one uses last.fm anymore?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xblue95:
I can't get cache stations to work anymore, not sure if it was the recent Slacker app update or the G2 OTA Update. Anyone else having problems? I tried uninstalling and reinstall, but no help! I'm pissed, it was working great!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
Try uninstalling the app then go into your sdcard and delete the slacker folder. Then reboot your device and do a clean install of the app, not a backed up version. It should work. Try it and let us know.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xblue95:
I did everything you suggested twice but still no Cache play. Finally I reinstalled a 3rd time and then I cached & refreshed 1 station over the mobile network instead of over WiFi. Right now everything seems to be working okay. I'm gonna slowly add more stations and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] agentaaron:
Gonna try Slacker again...

I used to use it on my MT3G and it used to stall a lot...I then started using Pandora and that worked great until recently (maybe past 4-5 months) it contantly skips songs when playing from my phone.

My music is quite diverse

Station 1: Tool, STP, Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Linkin Park, etc...

Station 2: Dropkick Murpheys, Flogging Molly, Enter the Hagis, Young Dubliners, The Cranberries, etc...

Station 3: Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willy Nelson, Elvis, etc...

Station 4: Lifehouse, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Haste the Day, Red, etc...

I will post my stations later this evening when I get home :)

The WP7 devices are now selling in New Zealand.

Checkout this article

Thanks _pilot_
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
Why so long for sales in the US? Why is the US three weeks behind the rest of the world in the WP7 release? Is it a network or service provider issue?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
Honestly I think Microsoft is using the international launches as a sort of final beta test before the November launch in the US.

Critics here will be much more vocal about any issues than in other parts of the world, so it makes sense to iron them out before it hits US news channels.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Yeah thats probably what they are doing but its not that long till the US release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
Maybe. I just think that it is funny that MS's largest product in years is launched outside of the US first. MS is an American company. I have no issue with this, just curious as to why. I wonder if att is the cause of the delay?

When does the "rest of world" holiday shopping season start. US is considered Thanksgiving, so a November launch makes perfect sense. Get some buzz and word on the street by the time we are done eating turkey. Canada has their Thanksgiving a week before, so that makes sense as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] juggs:
In my opinion, there's no way they're going to pinpoint bugs and create patches in 3 weeks. Especially hard if these overseas users aren't as vocal, as you say. Then what, as soon as you buy your WP7 here in the US you'll be forced to update it right away? Not buying it and in fact I think this is ridiculous that a company would even think about doing that.

I'm betting it's a US carrier delay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amdx2:
i went to see it before it was on sales cuz my friend works in vodafone. don't really like the feel of the HTC.. i'll be holding it off till i get other choices in brand, i don't like HTC LG and Samsung in the design of these phones.. i need a keyboard and good camera.. does anyone know if SE going to make a wp7 phone.. i'm using the x2 now and i have to say it as given me a run for my money...

Hong Kong is in the 21st launch list too, but I asked around, nobody knows anything about Windows Phone 7. I was thinking to get either the Omnia 7 or HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Not a good start for WM7, All the places that are supposed to have stock do not.

And other stores are not sure when it is coming in, or have no idea about it at all.:eek:

Microsoft should be pleased with this great start.:D:D:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i think its because you guys have Sue culture for anything and everything thats why MS is making sure its works fine before its sold in US....

Just kidding
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Just out of interest are there any WM7 phones for sale in Malaysia.
[Windows Phone 7 General] libehv:
after reading the news on front page, it seems that time zones start in US

too bad that small countries exist in a different dimension, because there are no services such as zune pass nor bing available

even the phones aren't available at launch time - seems like winning the market isn't really an excuse here
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bantimus:
Probably like others said - they're testing out the infrastructure and whatnot before the big launch in NA.

Also, as a Canuck, I'd love to correct you: Our Thanksgiving is the first Monday of October.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rouzbehali:
It's payback time...;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryotgz:
My guess is that it has to do with the supply of phones. With people saying stores not receiving stock yet would tell me there is short supply. So delaying 2 1/2 weeks gets more units in stock. Or maybe I just have hopeful thinking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] afleck:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
What was the last thing that it was doing when it was working properly ? Does it have a stock ROM or a custom/cooked ROM ? What have you tried to get out of it, e.g. soft reset, hard reset ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It'll stay there, too, unless you give us something to work with.

Well my pc want recogonize it ive tried a soft reset and ive tried a hard reset with the button combination and it want do it and imm running a custom rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Does it say "Serial" at the bottom of the tri-coloured screen, when not plugged in ? And then when you plug it into the PC, does that change to say "USB" ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] adamcoop22:
Yes it does
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] adamcoop22:
yes its doin that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If it says USB at the bottom of the screen while plugged in, then just flash a new ROM. It's that easy. If it gives you a connection error, then either turn off your firewall or drop the RHODIMG.nbh file onto the root of your storage card and then put it back into the phone. Boot back into the bootloader (tri-colored screen) and it will flash for you that way. Once it flashes, do a hard reset, and then start setting everything back up.

thanx guys for the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gus_chi:
I like the buttons on the European/Asian HD2 much more than the TMO-US model. They are slightly more subtle and arguably elegant. I personally think that the Red and Green call keys make the device look dated. I also hate how the US Phone has the T-Mobile branding on the top. Anywho, enough chit chat.

Is it possible to replace the physical keys on the device to the white ones on the European models? Better yet the T-mobile branding? I know this is a bit out there, but I really like my phone a lot and will be living with it presumably for the next 1.5 years. If anyone has any pointers or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance my XDA brethren.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonspeakers:
i cant agree with you more on everything that you've said.

1) I am from US and I HATE the hideous tmobile logo. It, sadly, is a deal breaker for me.

2) The buttons are red and green! Get-outta-heah!

3) That extra long chin on the bottom of the american HD2? FUGLY.

I've thought about it many, many times about how much I think i am missing using a EURO hd2 on an american t-mobile line. Does it suck that I don't have data? yes. Do I care much about it though? no. I have no need for it as of now since I have wifi at work all day. And I cant be using my hd2 while on the freeway while I commute. so really im not missing out.

I've had many thought about getting a US hd2, and swapping the screens (To get rid of the logo) and the hardware keys. I've done my research on hd2's disassembly via photos and videos. Unfortunatly, getting to the hardware keys is probably the last thing you'll get ino order to swap them out. That means, you'll have to disassemble almost you're entire phone to get to it.

The screen is also difficult. Can't remember though. But yeah.

ive not seen a single swapped out hd2 of american with euro.

i'd love to see one. i think it'd be great.

hi folks anyone want to help with a little idea,have searched around a bit,but have only come across a few posts regarding similar ideas,but no actual suggestions to help.

what i would like is to map one of or all front panel indicator leds to the gps,i use gps all day,for monitoring work done and for use as an accurate panic button system,(lone worker,outside)i liked my old kaiser because i could just glimpse at phone,screen locked and off and know that gps was still engaged.

could do with the same for hd2,even better would be one led to indicate gps on and another to indicate decent gps fix.

is there anything more upto date than kaiser led changer or specific for hd2.

cheers
[Vibrant General] ags29:
I was wondering if theres any way to do this so I could use the phone's SD card as sort of a plug & play USB flash drive for school. The school computers don't allow installing the drivers. Thanks.

Or does anyone know of a way that I can get my USB flash drive to auto-sync with my Dropbox folder when I plug it in, instead of manually having to copy everything eveytime?
[Vibrant General] orells:
Just plug it up and mount the sd. You don't have to install drivers for that. Also disable us debugging mode.
[Vibrant General] ags29:
That's what I thought so that's what I did.. But the drive wouldn't show up and instead the computer asked for an administrators password to install system drivers. Oh well.
[Vibrant General] GODCYPH:
If your school has wifi, you can use an FTP server like SwiFTP or EStrongs File Explorer, both of which are available for free in the android market. This will allow you to browse the contents of your /sdcard and /sdcard/sd from a browser window or even windows explorer.

Also, I posted this in the wrong section first...ignore that please.

Choose "Install zip from sd". Then "choose zip from sd" (or something like that) and find your theme. That's what people mean when they say "flash".

yep, same thing. I get a blank black screen after doing that and rebooting my device. Anyone know why? (If I install DamageControl again, my phone works fine)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
Try clearing cache and going into "advanced" and clearing dalvik. Then try it again and let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
Alright. I'll be back soon. Thanks for the help btw :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
Nope, still a black screen :\
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
Usually when something goes wrong with flashing, you get bootloops rather than just a black screen. I haven't experienced that. I'm not very familiar with DC or your theme. Are you sure they're compatible?

Sorry to be of little help. Maybe somebody else can step in with some info.

Upgrading through Kies might be the easiest and fastest way to get Froyo. Install keys and plug in your phone and check for updates, if it doesn't show Froyo as an option (build JP6, JPM, or JPA) then check the how-to threads of how to apply the registry hack to get Kies to upgrade you to Froyo. That's the easiest because then you don't have to worry about recovery (yet) and the newer build will probably include a fix for recovery anyway.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ALEXRUSS55:
Hello thread, I recently ran into a roadblock, as earlier today i was customizing my Core Droid 5 build. I installed extended control and put the screen brightness widget on one of the sense screens. When i was selecting the type of control the screen brightness had i set it to custom and with a %, i tapped on it and it went from 32% to 62% to 100% and then i tapped it once more, the screen went black. I pressed the screen once again in the same stop and it came back.

Now my issue is when i was chaning the brightness, it went to black again, and i cannot get it out, i rebooted the phone and now when it loads the rom it is stuck on black after it says Android.

Is there any way to resolve this by editing something with ought loading android, and keep all my setting, i loved the build and had everything set to my liking, all the apps everything, i periodically back up my setting and apps but this week i didint :S

Please help! Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z General] lorijuan1024:
what are apps i need and what does rooting do i was just reading that one click temp root

any advice thanks alot i am also new to rooting
[G2 and Desire Z General] wiimonkey9:
Let me first say, CONGRATULATIONS!

At the beginning, forget rooting.

Here is what I did:

1. Mess with all Android settings.

2. Put tons of music, videos, photos, roms, etc, onto memory card.

3. Set ringtone, wallpaper, organize homescreen, and do "basic" customization.

4. Set up Google Voice(most people don't have this as a main step, but I do since I love this app :p)

5. Download must-have apps(for me gameboid is one), install, and set them up.

6. Sync all accounts, get contacts on the phone.

7. Disable things you will not use, such as the photobucket app.

8. Whatever you want, now you can root :p

While doing this, I would recommend running the battery from 100% to 0% and using a battery measuring app such as battery left inorder to "calibrate" your battery. Whether this is a myth or fact on whether it improves your battery life, since I see people arguing on this a lot, it can't hurt to do it.
