[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
this actually isn't the case. once a microSD card goes into a windows phone, it becomes unreadable by any other product as it turns it into a form of uniformity with it's current onbuilt memory so that the OS only sees 1 storage unit. Hence why a hard reset is required when you put in a different microSD card.

if you wish to have files accessible, use your PC and Windows Live Mesh (available through Essentials 2011, downloadable through Windows Update), and then just set up directories on your computer to auto sync to skydrive, and then when you need the file on the phone, it will download it off skydrive.

Crap, you're right. I forgot. Keep reading the VP has removable storage, but it would still have to hard reset. Thanks for the reminder.:(

Isn't Microsoft's solution to all of this SkyDrive? Your thumbdrive is in the cloud and it holds 25gb. You an access the files from your computer or phone. It should work well with the exception of using a school or work computer where the site is blocked.

I'll definitely give it a try, but downloading a large file will always be slower than copying it directly from my computer.

Upgraded to Nordic 2.1 as per forum, WORKING GREAT, only issue I have is that when I leave my phone sitting idle (unlock screen) it shows 'NO SIM' in phone briefly and then goes back to normal. Never did this with Donut 1.6, is this just a gremlin on my phone or are others getting the same?

Yes, I just tried it. No effect.

It's almost like being phone-less. Can't put the phone in my pocket with the screen on, can't receive calls with the screen off. ps- Just drained the battery from leaving the screen on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindred7:
Hmm Im not sure what the problem may be. Since someone else mentioned they had experienced this on 1.6, I can't say its a possibility that the new firmware is having trouble reading an "old" sim card.

I just browsed through the phone and I see under Location & Security settings theres an option for sim card lock. Could there be a problem with the default config from flashing? It might be worth taking a look at.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennibhp:
"No SIM card in phone" - still

The Sim card lock is a feature to password-protect the sim card. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_a_sim_card_it_self_be_locked

I have not set that up.

I figured it had to do with the services running because after running a task killer for the first time, it killed the sim card. The phone automatically started the service again. This is what seems to be happening when the screen wakes.

If I could edit the services that go to sleep with the screen, that might work. If I know where that was.....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindred7:
Ok, try removing the task killer and restarting the phone. If that what you said is true, maybe the task killer is the problem
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennibhp:
"No SIM card in phone" SOLVED

I had been testing several task killers, One must have been always running in the background, even after killing all of them before setting the screen to sleep.

Uninstalled all task killers, restarted. Back to business.

Sometimes what seems most hidden is the most obvious.

Thanks for pointing out the connection kindred7.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] iq_haziq:
Hello All,

I Just Got A HTC Diamond Recently

But I Want To Flash A New Rom On It

But I See A ROM On CDMA Page...

The Question Is...

Is CDMA ROM Same As Standart ROM?

Can CDMA ROM Flash To A Daimond That Runs WM 6.1 Oficial ROM?

Thanks,

P/S - Sory About My English...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] kainppc6700:
WELCOME Reply

CDMA is not a type of ROM, it is the type of device. When they invented the Diamond, they built a foreign version with really bad battery life, a front facing camera, and a really weird design that you put SIM Cards into. This is the GSM version. You can use these on American Telephone and Telegraph Wireless or T Mobile, but data will not work correctly. The CDMA version was an improved version of the Diamond they released later on that works on CDMA Carriers that have no SIM Cards, specifically Alltel, Verizon, and Sprint (some CDMA models from No name "piggyback" carriers were created also). The CDMA Sprint one is the most commonly recognized Diamond.

The easiest way to check is to see if you've got a really weird battery cover or a normal one. The SIM Card slot check works pretty well too.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
Please excuse my lack of experience on the matter.

But my main confusion comes from after a couple hours well of reading and yet still not quiet understanding.

I'm buying a HD2, but I'm interested in converting it over to the Android platform.

However after watching countless videos and reading endless posts - I think I've scared myself into a not knowing where to start now.

I initially came across some pretty cool links wish sounded helpful (and for the most seemed pretty straight forward)

<Examples>

youtube.com/watch?v=3gUwaJYWrdc

youtube.com/watch?v=Gqedm-sUBc8

youtube.com/watch?v=W6Thh-zHGgo

But then confusion after reading of things like finding out the best radio software suited to my region (which by the way is Trinidad), and HSPL3 and the ROM... I am wondering if I might just end up bricking my phone. :confused:

So I found out what the stuff means (as seen below) - but I'm still kinda well overwhelmed. :o

spl = Secondary Program Loader. Think of this in the same sense as bios on a pc. (it sets where your system boots from, intialises sub system process etc)

sspl = soft spl (this allows you to flash another spl or hardspl).

hardspl = hard spl .. basically it allows flashing of any rom. It protects you from bricking your device. If you have a bad flash it just forces the phone to load into bootloader, from where you can flash another rom using pc or storage card to get your phone working again. Using a hardspl you can flash any carrier rom without cid unlocking your device first.

radio is the part of the rom which manages the attena

Please if anyone is able to shed some light on the best way of me going about brining in the android OS to my HD2 - it would be greatly appreciated (given what ever the lastest most stable build would be)

Regards...;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
Also, whats the possibility of a dual boot straight from the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
people have reported that android works on stock roms so there might not be any need to flash a custom rom....... apparently a radio newer than 2.08.xx..... is required......

See this thread for that debate.....

Even if there is then all you need to do is follow the instructions in the Rom development section stickies and you cant really go wrong......

If you have a tmous hd2 then you might want to follow the instructions in the tmous section to avoid any potential radio mismatch problems......

Running android is as easy as putting a folder on your SD card and tapping two files in the right order........

Ok there might be quite a bit of trial and error in finding a build you like/works well....

And yes there are programs out there that will give you the option to choose between WM and Android on startup.....

personally I'd reccomend mskips version which you can find in the themes and apps section.........

Happy fiddling......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
Thank you so much for the post and for the link you included to the guide.

I have seen a lot of useful information from just there alone. It's appreciated.

One thing I didn't quite follow however, was when you said 'tmous' hd2.

I'm assuming this is an abbreviation for a carrier of some sort? :confused:

The one I'm supposed to be getting is an unlocked version btw...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
tmous = (T)-(Mo)bile (US) version as it has the 1GB ROM in it; the Euro version only has 512MB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
As br0adband said above, tmous just refers to the american version of the HD2,

its easy to spot as it has a big fat double chin, tmobile written under the earpiece and green/red buttons to dial/hangup.......

if thats the version that you end up with then you should make sure any rom/radio your flashing is "tmous compatible".......

the wrong radio can kill it....... just stay away from anything with ".51." in the name.....

Good luck for when it arrives...... expect a lot of late nights tweaking.......;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morpheus1982:
+1...That makes no sense. Unlike the rest of us, we bought the HD2 knowing what it was all about, then later found that Android would be possible later.

Buying HD2 a year later knowing that you want to convert to Android is silly. Or it is because the HD2 might be cheaper than the newer HTC Anroid phones?

You have missed most of the fun there was in seeing the HD2 develope; from custom ROMs, to Cookies Home Tab, to Android etc etc. Jumping in now after all the blood, sweat and (tears) has taken place probably wouldnt provide you with the same level as enjoyment as I believe that the HD2 is running out of steam. Although there is the possibilty of WPS7 on NAND plus Android to consider. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
The main reason for opting for the HD2 is that the price is alot more reasonable for me at this time. The specs are obviously better on the Desire HD and while the original Desire also already has the android platform, their prices are a little more steep for me as they came out just this year alone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
Ok so within the this time which I am still just eagerly anticipating the arrival of my HD2 (which by the way is my first smart phone :o) - I've continued to read more threads and posts, but some confusion still seems to exists on the various topics for terms for me.

For instance - I seem pretty clear on the fact that getting an android build on my HD2 is as simple as picking a ROM and then extracting the files correctly to my SD card and run the CLRCAD & the Haret files. - So then why I am still so confused...? :confused:

I think the main reason stems from a fear of not wanting to destroy my first modernized phone.

But aside from the basic process I briefly stated above, I have no idea what would be required of me to make the best of my modd-ing procedure.

I have seen links including a 1GB data.img dowloand - what is this for exactly?

I have read and understood that there are advantages of implementing HSPL on your device - but how does it fit into the already 'simplified' 4 step process listed above whereby you just download, extract and run the 2 files?

(...further to that whats the difference between HSPL, HSPL2 & HSPL3 - aside from updated versions I assume, would there be a reason for opting to use an older version?)

How do I determine if I am going to need to change my Radio version from what would already be included within a ROM I select? - and similar to my HSPL inquiry

(What's the main difference between the radio versions?

Wouldn't the highest number [most recent version] be the best?)

Further random (yet related...) questions:

RUU - Would it be necessary or make modd-ing any easier?

cotulla - Is this a single developer or a developer group? :o

NAND - Is this basically the main memory which holds the OS? - If so is there an actual way to now startup with Android on the HD2 - without WM starting at all and without any user interaction what so ever?

And finally...

When I eventually get my HD2 in hand, is there any information or details specific from my phone, which if provided could make it a easier to receive help on my goal?

If someone takes time to answer my questions - Thanks much in advance! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
ok, where to start..... lol

il answer briefly because im posting from my device.....

your 4 step process is solid. no problems there.

you cannot brick your device with android.

the data.img is basically a file that pretends to be the phones internal storage, so if you download the 1gb file when you run android your phone will think it has 1gb of internal storage (things will obviously just be stored on your sd card, it doesn't actually affect your devices memory)

theres not much point worrying about the radio until you get the device and see which one you have, chances are it wont need to be changed.

unless your changing the rom/radio you wont need to use hspl

cotulla is widely regarded as being the driving force behind these kind of things, obviously there were/are lots of talented people involved but cotulla is probably the name your most likely to see being mentioned.

ruu - software tool that alows you to flash a rom.

included with stock roms, custom roms require a custom ruu but it is usually bundled in with the rom

nand - you pretty much nailed it, its not yet available though

when you get the device post the info from the settings - about phone/software info

hope that helps and sorry if I missed anything.....

Your Radio is above the minimum requirement for linux to boot so you're good to go. Download an android build you like the looks of from the Android Development section and extract the Android folder and place it in the root of your SD card.

Run CLRCAD then HaRET or get an android boot loader like THIS, THIS, or THIS to make the process easier.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriniKing_CE:
Okay so after using my HD2 a bit on and off over the past 3 days or so - switching between Windows & Android, I'll summarize:

First off, the android build which I am currently running off of my sd card is:

darkstone HD2Froyo v1

Release date: 26.07.2010

Its pretty decent and all but, I have a problem that I keep on encountering and I'm not quite sure whether its just me (something I didn't figure out) or if its an incompatibly issue with my current WindMo ROM (2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE) or something. Or maybe just a glitch / bug in the build itself :confused:

I can't seem to get back access to my desktop at times once I open a browser (or some other apps / games as well); even after I attempt to close it off.

...One just simply reopens once I close off the last one... :(

This inability to regain access to my desktop at that point means I have no further access to any further applications either unless I start over. (or unless its an app which was previously opened - as I can then hold down the home button to see recently (previously) opened apps.

I'm wondering if I should try another build? (any suggested ones?! / any known problems with this build)

Also as my version is an unlocked T-mobile phone - would it be wise to follow through with an upgrade on the ROM from T-mobile's site?

T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1)
