So, I have flashed a couple Eris's and Incredibles to different carriers before... but while tinkering and playing with roms, I see that factory restore roms from HTC have an NV Items file, all of the settings for the radio, not the radio rom, but all of the carrier's settings...

Now, we all know that with a generic empty radio or ie. using a sprint rom and activating to verizon, and using QPST/CDMA workshop (or use HTC's awesome built in ##778 menu) we can get the phone online to 1x/3g/4G on a carrier of choice.. there's a reason a SPRINT rom with activate on SPRINT no problem, its the NV items file in the rom, a verizon rom from and incredible or Eris would have an NV items file for all verizon settings... requiring only a *228 call to get online... getting my drift ? No more figuring out the HA, HDR, PPP, etc, passcodes.

Think it's possible to cook up a rom and changing only the NV items file for carrier changing? ... I know on the eris, to apply that NV items file, you go to the factory system restore by holding down+vol for over 30 seconds and it gives you the option to restore NV items. This writes the NV items file from the rom to the phone's radio.

Can we for example... take the alltel hero firmware file, rip the NV items file from it, replace the NV items file in an EVO firmware and flash it to the phone and do an NV restore.. ? *228 activated....

What do you guys think?

You know, using swiftkey as the default input and slide out the keyboard, the annoying useless blue box got replaced with a white text prediction board. It works the same as the virtual one but of course since we are using physical keyboard, our speed will increase and augmented by the text prediction of swift key, the speed will increase even further.

And by the way, swiftkey prediction can predict your next words very accurately and for me, it is the best text prediction ever. Search the market for swiftkey and try it yourself.:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
+1 for Swiftkey!

the best text prediction for me too!

*one thing i noticed tho when using the physical keyboard,

there's no way to input other symbols...i've to close the keyboard and use the onscreen keyboard to input symbols and/or smileys...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
Yeah, that's the one problem. IF we want to add symbol, we would have to revert back to default input. Shame, no one has develop an apps that completely designed for mini pro (AKA, symbol buttons work)

This is the most annoying thing about the phone.. It doesn't even have a % symbol. So frustrating!

Will Ms only sanction the use of capacitive screens?
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Thankfully resistive screens are a thing of the distant past. I am only too glad to never have to change another digitizer.

Ms will only sanction capacitive screens since multitouch is a requirement for OEM's
[Windows Phone 7 General] ace10134:
Probably. Resistive touchscreen's aren't practical for touch-friendly interfaces.

And if you want to use a stylus (with really good precision), you'll just get a screen that has a Wacom Digitizer in it, which usually also supports Capacitive touch (like the HP Touchsmart TM2).
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
thanks for the replies I thought that was the case but just wanted to double check.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
Yeah my gf is pretty annoyed that all the new phones won't let her use her fingernails to swipe and stuff, lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
:D These days when I use my fingernail for precision on my touch diamond 2, the digitizer gets stuck to the glass. So glad that resistive touch screens are dead
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
For me resistive is absolutely superior because you can navigate with anything on it.

Capactive is just "stupid".

But there are styluses for capactive, right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Well capacitive screens are much better than resistive and yeah there are a few styluses for capacitive screens.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
There's an HTC one, but it looks really weird.

[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
I actually prefer the precision of the resistive screen. Sure, image quality is lower but my phone is a work tool rather than a portable dvd player or games console.

I liked being able to scrawl notes with my finger nail rather than using the (where's my screen gone) keyboard.

I had always thought that the need for the abiltiy to input "chinese" characters etc, would keep the resistive alive.

Frankly I don't see the big deal about multi-tap other than game playing

Oh well at least there will be more money for the third party companies that make replacement glass screens...
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
The largest screen size I have had to date was the 5" on the Ameo, albeit at a lower resolution. The smallest was the touch pro

As far as I am concerned the touchflo worked well on both and I didn't need a stylus as i had trained my finger nails. I don't believe that a capacitive screen would have improved my experience in any way
[Windows Phone 7 General] ruscik:
I like resistive screens did you try to brake one?

I dropped a Touch Diamond 2 of my motorbike on motorway at just over 70mph. It hit a car behind me. I stopped, spend 30 min looking for it. Found battery and phone and except all cover being broken all was fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Biges:
Resistive screens on WM devices often s**k, probably because of the OS. On the other hand resistive screen on SE Satio is great. It is solid, not mushy, and very responsive.

The logical step for manufacturers would be to market both technologies, but current marketing trend dictates capacitive because... uh... I don't know. Most people I know can't distinguish between them anyway.

Btw, I had some capacitive phones to test and I really don't understand the hype around capacitive screens. It's like using a 5cm round mouse cursor...

you do the rest.... date, reminder etc

Anyone know of an app or someone have the skills to do it :D

I have gotten several text messages from some spam numbers. a few have come from the same number, and a single one from a different number.

i know i cant block all potential spam texts, but is there a way to block a certain number if several of the texts are coming from that number?

on another note, why the heck would i be getting spam text messages? anyway to find out why or how?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
You are getting spam from people you give your phone number too... companies that sell that info to advertisers and such. If you text your radio station, they will spam you... if you do the fastest text thing at the baseball game, they could spam you... there are a bunch of reasons you get spam messages.

As for blocking specific numbers from texting you: YOU CAN'T YET...

"Can I block messages from a specific number?

No. At this time you are not able to block messages or calls from a specific mobile number. You can set up a filter if the message is coming from an e-mail address. For more information, go to How do I filter e-mails sent to my phone?"

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:
You can block calls? Well blacklist them, and they can only leave a VM, but your phone wont ring.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
Calls isn't the issue I don't think... at least not for me. I have all the phone numbers from telemarketers noted under a 'telemarketer' contact that I just ignore. Is that what you mean by 'blacklist'?? Simply assign a silent ringer to them and ignore them when they call??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98classic:
I called tmo and they can't block certain numbers, u have to dl an app, search sms block or something, there is a few on the market
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
ill check out the app. thanks guys. its mostly texts, only a call here and there. i dont text my radio station or anything like that, so not sure how i got on these lists.

like i said, its not really calls so black listing them wont really work. ill look for an app to block sms like 98 classic said
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdveteran18:
You can also use Mr. Number. When a text or call comes in from an unknown number it'll try and locate it for you. A notification will pop up on the screen prompting you to save, spam, or simply ignore the number. If you spam it, you can see other people's reports about that number as well as report it yourself. This also blocks incoming texts from the number as well.

Works like a charm!

Not only can you blacklist (block all contact) from specific numbers...but it is arguably 10x better than stock messaging app and is highly customizeable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMODEL22:
And it also hogs your phones memory, lags it down and uses twice as much battery as the stock messaging app

Buy something from t-mobile called "Allowances" and block the numbers on there.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Phandroid:
After failing again and again and again, reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling KIES (which simply won't work on my machine), removing the battery etc. etc. etc. I just don't know what there is left to do...

When in Win7, the phone is recognized, although Windows tells me that it's not connected to a USB2 hub. In download mode it says connection failed. What else am I supposed to do?

The phone is not branded or anything, applying stuff though update.zip's was never an issue.

So please somebody help me - I'm stuck with JF3 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
simple, switch to another computer

unless you can find and easy way to make windows forget the USB bugs

you need to also unplug the PC and wait for the PC to power drain, reconnect the PC power cord, and turn the PC back on.

after it goes back to windows try hooking up the phone again, if you get the message about not running in USB2 mode, then it failed

retry after resetting BIOS settings, installing USB2 drivers, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedesolatesoul:
I had a similar problem...

I had a USB 1.1 Port on my Thinkpad T22 and the drivers didnt like it

Use a different computer/USB port

...btw I still like JF3 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Phandroid:
Now you will probably feel the urge to smack my head against the wall when you read what I'm about to tell you... I don't blame ya... The cause of the "problem" was that I wasn't using the original Samsung USB cable that came with the phone. I just couldn't find it so I decided to use an aftermarket cable which I had lying around. Big mistake... I finally found the USB cord and that fixed everything for me. Beware of aftermarket accessories as the phone will punish you for using them!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that cable might have been a very poor after market version then

i do use a couple of after market USB to micro USB cable with the phone and it works fine

there are bad aftermarket products

and there are quality aftermarket products

[Touch CDMA General] ss0mohit:
My touchscreen won't work sometimes.

Sometimes it'll be perfectly fine yet other times it won't.

I installed NuVogue 8.0 on it about a week ago. Everything was fine before I flashed it.

I performed at least 4 hard resets and it'll freeze up and the touchscreen won't even work after a reset.

Any ideas? I think my vogue might need a replacement soon.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Have you tried a different rom?
[Touch CDMA General] ss0mohit:
thanks for your suggestion.

i flashed B-Rom... works as soon as you reset it and am able to scroll via touchflo.

then i flashed back to nuvogue 8.0 and it's responsive half the time.

i think it's my device... i've dropped it a couple of times.

do you think verizon will still take it? i'm about... 11 months into my contract.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It may be worth a shot.
[Touch CDMA General] weelala:
It sounds like the touch screen itself might be going.

Or, the wires are loose. Did you try taking it apart and making sure everything was secure?

And the warranty is for a year,so they'll say you can send it to the manufacturers, or get a new phone thats just as fancy as the vogue.
[Touch CDMA General] ss0mohit:
well. i haven't tried to take it apart... kinda scared too.

[Touch CDMA General] reigndropz:
I have searched and have done research on this for a couple weeks and now I am finally coming for help :)

My Vogue is unlocked and I am to flash multiple ROMS on it. I have already transferred the phone information through Boost. I know that there is no roaming with Boost service and have turned off the roaming feature and set it to Sprint Only. With all that being siad, here is my dilemma.... I have almost zero reception.

I have driven around with the phone and there a couple places outside of town where I get 1 or 2 bars and I see it switch to EV. In that period, I can make a call to another phone and all seems to be working. All other times though, i get Zero to One bar of 1x but the phone is basically useless. . I have tried about 7 different prl's thinking maybe that was the issue but that did not work. I know the phone works and I have Sprint reception in my area because all my other lines work fine. Does anyone have any idea on what I may be able to do to get this working?

Thanks in advance to all of you!
[Touch CDMA General] reigndropz:
And if you dont know, maybe someone could point me in the right direction? Thanks guys.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to General.

What radio do you have?
[Touch CDMA General] reigndropz:
Thanks Egz! Im using 3.42.30 and also using NSFAN's rom. Any advice on what I can try?
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
I believe that there is a way to program your phone to poll from the towers a bit more often as well as give it more priority, but I cannot remember the parameters for this. I will have to dig for a that a bit. The radio and rom are both good ones and should, in theory, not give you any issues. My only concern with everything you said is that you turned off the roaming feature. That is about the only other thing I can think of. What happens if you do turn it on?
[Touch CDMA General] reigndropz:
Awww man those parameters would probably help a LOT. I was told that Boost can't roam so it should be kept off. When I do enable roaming, it stays at 1x and has the roaming triangle, but I cant make any calls and I get a "Verizon Wireless" message. Oddly enough, I have ssen one bar of 3G/EV today but still not nowhere near enough capacity to use the phone reliably

Mines going at 200 mhz to 1000 mhz, on demand governor, and a powersave bias of 20%. No profiles. Why? Because to implement the profiles setcpu has to remain in memory. It does not feel slow at all and I'm getting terrific battery life.

[G2 and Desire Z General] donaliar:
sorry im a newbie, how do you set the "on demand governor?" .and powersave bias, u get that from the advanced tab where it says "powersave bias (1-1000)" and just put 20?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Well the scaling governor is on the main page, right under the minimum frequency slider. You are only half right on the powersave bias: 20 would be 2%. So to do 20%, you need 200. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

[G2 and Desire Z General] SRT102JZ:
So its a bit after 1am and just over 14hrs after a full charge. While using my profiles and info as posted in my above 2 posts along with 2hrs of GPS usage, light phone call usage, and heavy internet usage my phone finally died 14hrs later with the Gov module on conservative with posted profiles and OC'd at 1459.

Although abought 10min prior to it dieing I did attempt to submit this post from the phone but near the end of the post it froze up, showed the desktop and my battery notification showed 0% and the phone then rebooted itself but I got a bootloop on the "g2" screen and had to pull the battery to fix it.

After 10% battery level I was experiencing lagging and slowness while online so I'm assuming because of my profile setting of 245/245 at that battery level and what probably caused my bootloop.

*Edit: I must say I'm pretty impressed. I had my Nexus one alot more heavily modified than my g2 and only OC'd to 1113 with similar daily usage and I would have to charge it one time at some point during the day to last me throughout the night.

I have SetCPU set with all of these profiles, other then charging profiles and it seems that the "Screen Off" profile isn't working. I have it set to 245/245 and it still seems to be at 1497/245 because the battery gets hot and drains very fast (about 8 hours with literally zero use). It shows idle Cell Standby and Phone Idle taking up most of the battery (a combined total of about 85%) anyone know why it wouldn't be working properly?

SetCPU has SU permissions and profiles are enabled... Anything else?
