[G2 and Desire Z General] master.peterm:
so as everyone knows knows T-mobile started to throttle speeds once a user passes 5GB of data. Well here is how to go back to unthrottled speeds.

Simply click menu-> settings -> Wireless & networks -> mobile networks

then you are going to want to click to use only 2G networks. Click back and wait till it connects to edge.

then go back and uncheck Use only 2G networks

(must repeat upon reboot)

You should now be connected to an throttled 3G network. Personally i was getting about 60 kbps before i did it and after i get around 2000 kbps.

[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Lol... guys, you do know there is already a thread about this in development, right?

You guys really need to learn to use the search button before posting duplicate threads.

I already had someone steal my work today but this looks unintentional and is a far inferior method to disabling the data cap (aka throttle). Check out development if you want a more permanent method...
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You know this is an old thread, made from before your thread in the dev forum, right ? ;)

Just that someone revived it from the dead :)

Apologies if it sounds like I'm being a smart-a**, maybe I misunderstood though.
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
The top spot goes to HTC Desire...first runner up is iPhone 4...DHD takes the 3rd place...what do you guys think?? I'm still using my Motorola Ming A1200 but think it's time for my first Android phone...should I buy Desire instead of DHD?

[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
i saw this as well and im in the same dilemma. if the desire had the processor from the desire HD it would be unstoppable.
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
Basically they say that the DHD's shorter battery life than the desire (which is disputed by quite a few people on here) outweighs things such as improved processor, larger screen, updated sense UI etc etc...
[Desire HD General] jords12:
I don't think they cycled the desire hd battery enough. Some people who have had it for a week+ have been getting very good battery life, better than desire.
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
It'd be great to hear from users who have upgraded to DHD directly from Desire about their opinions on both devices. It does seem that the only thing techradar thinks Desire is better than DHD is the battery life. But just how much better I wonder? 30 minutes? 4 hours?

I have pre-ordered DHD as I find the 4.3 screen just hard to resist, and I don't mind carrying a spare battery in my jeans pocket. (The battery won't cost you an arm and a leg right?)
[Desire HD General] subz85:
I upgraded from the desire to the HD and feel the benefits were well worth it. The battery life tbh isn't that much different to the desire's. I tried every ROM imaginable and the battery life fluctuated from a few hours to 2 days. With drainage issues appearing here and there. Once the UVOC kernels start rolling out and the third party batteries are on sale it really will be a non-issue juicedefender off the market also helped me with my desire. I figure its more teething problems than major issues. I don't regret the move at all.

my phone wont come off the the spalsh screen, even when i try to bootinto recovery or fastboost its just stuff on the green screen and the pixels are funny for some reason. i dont know exactly what i did but i tried to flash a new radio and spl is there any hope?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You can't get into bootloader at all?

If you can't get into bootloader or recovery then yes... you are bricked.

What did you do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
im not trying to hijack this thread but i didnt want to create a duplicate. mine also gets stuck on the splash screen. It wont load my recovery files and the adb interface on my computer wont work. im at a loss. Previously it was rooted with cyanogen mod 6.0
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
can you get in to the SPL? (vol - and power)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
yes. i can do vol- and power and the white screen comes up with radio and spl showing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
I don't know what did but I fixed it. All I did was keep trying to flash the newest cyanogen rom and I wiped all caches and somehow it finally took I am sending from it now. But my hd2 will still remain primary phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
I did it through the h boot and installed zip from sd card
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] toninor:
How did you do it?

Hello,

How did you do it? I cannot pass the splash screen but I can enter the FASTBOOT menus with the 3 skaters

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
All I did was wrote every cache and try installing a fresh rom a few times and somehow it worked. I was kinda surprised myself.

[General Topics] hexskrew:
I would like to say before I make this joke that I think it is great that the iphone has found a home on xda, because on xda I would like to think all phones can find a dev home here... Now on to the joke.

Just make sure you watch your p's -n- q's XDA, cause next thing you know you'll get a cease and desist from Apple, and then they will try to sue you for copyright infringement of multitouch technology (LOL)

Wiki:Touchscreen/Multitouch Technology

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#History

"In 1974, the first true touch screen incorporating a transparent surface was developed by Sam Hurst and Elographics. In 1977, Elographics developed and patented five-wire resistive technology, the most popular touch screen technology in use today."

And yes I do understand that VERY misfortunately for all, Apple has obtained the patent for multitouch/touch technology, which I feel should have went to the gnu... So very soon instead of having multiple devices with a standard interfacing technology set by the IEEE governed by the GNU, no one but apple products will have it and it'll be locked down unless you wanna get sued. Meh.. I'll end it there...

[HD2 General] Legendary70:
I have looked around the site and cannot find this answer. which rom can i install on my t mobile hd2 so i can have droid froyo?

but i want to be able to use both on my phone..not just one or the other. please any help.
[HD2 General] marduk79:
1st you need to flash HSPL which will enable you to flash custom roms. Choose and install your custom rom. The suggested rom for droid froyo is this--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667272%22 since it is by the same guy/team who did the droid froyo software. If you go to http://http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735 you will see many different android options and you can download and install something from there. Droid froyo is the 11th post down from the top. Hope it helps. Happy Flashing!!!
[HD2 General] JackH:
actually you need to try by yourself

That's the best way to recognize, which rom is best and suitable for you :D

well here is my preffered :

ELEGANCIA ROM Series

CR192 DESIRE HD

Kumar's TMOUS HD2 ROM

these all roms are android compatible ;)

so try whichever you like...

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] opensourcefan:
Okay there seems to be a couple threads on changing your product code back to whatever was stock. To me the instructions seem quite simple, or simple enough for an app with root access to do from the device itself.

Would this be possible you think? or is there one already?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780509&highlight=Product+Code

EDIT: I think this was a dumb post as if your back on the stock rom then the following works just fine.

I' sorry for making a thread especially for this topic, but I just love the DHD, but just wanted to know how the loudspeaker goes..

I'm not concerned about quality because am not expecting great quality from a loudspeaker especially a mono one, I just wanted to know about the loudness, because I've read that it sucks...

so does it suck like an Iphone 3G loudspeaker or is it better like slightly audible if outdoors ?

thanks in advance

nice been waiting on this for sometime now. everytime i flash to one of the other modded versions i always have to many problems to be useable.
[Captivate General] mralex23xx:
so with an official date, should i wait to get 2.2 or just use the rom?!?:confused:
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Well..I learned a long time ago never to rush things..and getting a new update is factored in with that. I'll wait and see what changes (good or bad) AT&T has added to this before I flash it..If they can make it so our phones are completely locked I am sure they will try..I might root mine before hand and then back up what I have already..and then just play the wait and see game..

[Captivate General] tbong777:
Meh I already have it....and I will wait for a developer to mod the "official" release. no way will I load A Samsung/ATT release...They could disable a lot things that keep the device flash able.

+1 to that, screw the bloat-ware updates that will just mess more things up than were fixed. Been running dev roms since day 2 on this phone and I won't ever go back to service provider/manufacturer provided crap again. And Froyo does kick *ss on Eclair. :cool:
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
"official" I get. Since "official" has already been cooked a ton of times, why even mention it in a thread about an official release? And why mention "Meh I already have it"? Guess all those writing classes I took were wasted. I need to not be so darned literal when I read something around here...
[Captivate General] b3asty1:
^This!!! ;)
[Captivate General] jc2470:
I think everyone who has read this understands what he was saying. as in i have 2.2 right now so he can wait till someone mods the official release when its released, not that difficult.
[Captivate General] mralex23xx:
true, i just rooted and working on uploadingthe froyo rom let's see how that goes!
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Like I said too..I'll wait and see if anything is disabled or locked down..If it isn't..then I'll load it and run it and benchmark it and wait patiently till this is done for 2.2 and our Captivate..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821397..Nothing wrong IMHO with the way mines running right now..and giving it a week or so to see if there are any issues crop up isn't no big deal to me..

[Captivate General] cappysw10:
"As you probably know last Month that Samsung pulled-out the froyo Update files of the Samsung Galaxy S from its servers due to

Many System Bugs

that Made the Android froyo unstable and laggy."

And the picture shows this is still for the I9000.

Just release the source code all ready and let DG do his magic!
[Captivate General] fshalor:
ATT releases scary!

I feel the same way. With the differences between the stock and the 2.1 rom's I've used, I can't believe ATT sent this phone out as it was.

Course, the Captivate has been nothing but problems for me since day one. (Lines in the OLED and they refused to take it back, speaker failure, laggy, etc.)

The unofficial roms have helped, (particulaly the 1.2 GHz OC'd one from September, and the EXT4 lagfix.) I'm holding out for the official 2.2's and hoping they will fix things, but I'm very concerned about what all ATT will do with them.

If it fixes my VPN issue (I can't get any 2.x version to work with our Cisco VPN's) I'll probably at least try stock 2.2.
[Captivate General] roblo:
When is the official relese for Captivate? Early 2011?

[Fascinate General] sonar_chris:
So today I needed to use google maps to navigate to an address, so like i used to on my Incredible, I put in the address, selected navigate and everything was good until I came to my first turn, Pandora muted and I heard the voice turn direction, but it was not through my car's speakers. I checked that Navigation wasn't muted then I checked that the media volume was turned all the way up and it was. So what's the deal, is there a setting I'm missing or something, or is the Fascinate's only capability to play music through the headphone jack? I know you can't have a phone conversation with the phone pluged into an aux jack in a car as it keeps the mic on the phone mute, but it won't play nav directions through the head phone jack either?
[Fascinate General] Sgtmack:
This is a known issue. It is supposed to be fixed with 2.2. I hope.

There were a couple of devs working on a fix, but nothing that works yet.
[Fascinate General] martian21:
I had voice prompts through my car stereo using Google navigation this past weekend while using the stock music player. Didn't try it with Pandora.

I had to turn the phone's media volume way down and crack the navigation audio all the way up, then crack my car stereo as the navigation volume is an order of magnitude softer than the media volume on the Fascinate (which is a known bug that is hopefully going to be fixed).
[Fascinate General] SnrSuave:
I had the same issue, then found a fix for it this morning. I posted it here:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...s/85988-navigation-volume-low.html#post957765

As far as being able to hear the navigation through your speakers, it should work. Mine has worked fine since the beginning. I only had an issue with the volume being really low. Perhaps that is what you are seeing. Sometimes the navigation volume would be so low that I would hear the music turn down for the directions, but I didn't hear any directions until I turned up my radio to max.
[Fascinate General] sonar_chris:
I reflashed the rom I was using and that seems to have cleared the issue up. Thanks for the sound fix SnrSuave.

HD2 will fully support Windows 7. It is a supported phone and meets the requirments for buttons, resolution, memory, and speed.

T-Mobile will be releasing a free upgrade to Windows 7 later this year for the HD2. Not sure about others but I am sure the chefs will present 7.0 - I am personally not that excited about it.

[HD2 General] beenja:
It's awesome. I'm waiting new ROM's with WM7 soon for HD2
[HD2 General] wafflefaust:
Yeah but you have to admit, this looks to be a marketing ploy to push people into buying the new phones rather than buying the HD2 or equivalent and installing 7 at the time of release. Eventually, basing this assumption on track records and past experience, they will probably release a downloadable installer for those who meet the minimum requirements. But saying that the phone won't see an upgraded OS because of two extra buttons sounds absurd to me.

The MS devs probably also need to focus on a certain hardware set initially and after bugs are corrected we will probably see OS upgrades available, like they were hinting at before all the hype and hoopla. I don't see why you would suggest banning someone for curiosity, sure this is probably annoying to read over and over. But people are excited and you can't blame them. :)
