[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] otakubakaa:
I was just wondering if there is a working wifi tether for the htc hd2 running android OS. Im currently using mattc's froyo 1.8 w/sense and I installed barnacle and it connects, however there is no network access/internet access and it doesnt show me connected to my laptop from my hd2. Just wondering if anyone here knows how to get it up and working :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] n1ghtm4r:
I have the same problems with my HD2 configuration (look at signature).

Connection working but no internet access.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daweeze02:
Same problem here no internet :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enneract:
most of the newer builds have native tethering working fine, might be something to look into.
[HD2 General] ocm7:
Ok so here's the thing. I've always been a phone modder, started with Motorola and have always used Motorola's, but frankly they just messed up with their Android phones which is why i have decided to abandon them. Now im considering buying an HD2, mainly because of the flexibility it offers modding wise, however i plan to use Android as my main OS.

The thing is, i know the HD2 wasn't built for Android, but my understanding of it is that it runs almost perfectly if you have the right radio/rom/android build combination, plus magldr will allow for native NAND boot and WP7 has been ported by Cotulla (I am unaware of the functionality of it). I was thinking about an HTC G2 but with it being locked from permaroot that kind of rules it out, and i've heard the hinge quality is terrible. Also, the HD2 has decent hardware for a year old phone, but newer phones are offering BT 3.0, A8 processor, dedicated GPU, S/AMOLED screens, etc.

So overall im looking for a phone that will give me the best bang for my buck, and is flexible modding wise (this is critical). I don't want a phone thats just push a button and it works, theres no fun in that. So what would you guys do? Go for the HD2 which is already a year old phone or get something newer (SGS, G2, Desire, etc)? Build quality is also something important, I dont want the phone with the best specs if its built completely out of cheap plastic. The HD2 is also the cheapest option of most current phones, so yeah.

All opinions are welcome.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
If you plan to use it entirely for android then I think you want the Desire HD instead......
[HD2 General] ocm7:
Price is an issue, the Desire HD is too expensive for me lol, besides its also permalocked
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
what do you mean by permalocked?......

maybe an evo if your in an area where you could make most of it......

if not then yeah you might as well go for the HD2.........
[HD2 General] ocm7:
It means that the Desire HD and the G2 have built in protection that makes permanent root impossible as all changes to the eMMC are cached and erased upon reboot, so you can root the phone but it will be reset once you reboot. I can't use CDMA, has to be GSM
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Didnt realise that....... im pretty clueless when it comes to android....

that however, has put me off ever replacing my HD2 with a native android device....

Did you consider the iPhone? :p

Just kidding.............
[HD2 General] ocm7:
Lmao never! And it's just those HTC Android devices that are locked, i believe. Motorolas are also locked but i believe Samsungs are good
[HD2 General] hagba:
Just go and get it,Android works flowless on it, WM isnt as bad as they say it is.And the build quality is second to none,I just dropped it yesterday while taking a picture,not a single scratch.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
WM is so much fun for tweaking, and Co0kie's Home Tab is a dream come true...

Android works amazingly - except for me battery-life remains an issue, so research this if you think it's your preferred OS.

But as a phone to tweak with, with a choice of 2 OS's and another 2 hopefully on the way, the HD2 is a fantastic choice, a great form-factor, and probably relatively cheap as it's a year old.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I could never trust a samsung, my fiance had 2 and they both broke.......

as much as I hate her iPhone I must say that it sure is a sturdy device to cope with what she puts it through on a daily basis..........

as for my next phone............ when I get an upgrade I think Im just gonna sell it and buy a couple of spare HD2's :D

So yeah I think you should opt for the HD2......
[HD2 General] dnguyen1988:
The galaxy s phones are really good. I myself am using a vibrant running a custom rom. Its an awesome phone especially once u start modding it. You should browse the vibrant forum and see what all is going on.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Flippy125:
I attempted data recovery from my SDcard to look for anything to help us unlock the NAND. What I found was quite different. I found a .plist file from a syncing application called doubleTwist. The files are here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5KH1ZB0B
[G2 and Desire Z General] rwbarnes67:
What the EFF is a COMSPIRACY?????

Is that really the word you want to use and do you know what a Dictionary is?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sethrd:
doubletwist is an app that comes on the sdcard when you first get the phone. It's a media sync manager that works with Android phones. It was written by the same folks who made Music (doubleTwist Music). Take off your tin foil hat now sir.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Flippy125:
The app was nowhere on my sdcard, it was never even in the phone when it was on, swapped it out for my 16gb. I like my tinfoil hat =p

[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
These types of posts really make me wonder how stupid someone is if they can't figure out something as simple as "comspiracy = misspelled conspiracy."

Unless they actually think they are being clever, which is even more pathetic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
Pretty sure all TMo Android phones SD cards come with the files for DoubleTwist for PC syncing...
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
mine had doubletwist on the sd card it came with....

im actually glad they did, its a good replacement for itunes for android... doubletwist is worth keeping on your machine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
More often the phone is doing this. It goes to the white screen with the Green HTC symbol, then it goes to a loading screen. This is really slowing my Phone down. Can anyone help me out please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImMikeV:
Are you using a task killer...if you kill a certain sense processes, they automatically reload and cause your symptom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
I am not using a task killer, so what else could it be? It is really random too...some days are worse than others. Is there anywhere I can look to see what the problem is? Are there any aps that are more likely to cause this?

Thanks Mike!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImMikeV:
Are you rooted, if so what rom and recovery are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
No man. I haven't had a chance to root yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
Running froyo 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Sounds like its doing a soft reboot, do you have aLogCat installed? If so run it after it happens and post a copy of the log. That should tell you what is causing it.

There are also a lot of Evos and Droid Incredibles with defective radios in them. You may be better off taking it to Sprint and having them replace it under warranty, just don't let them talk you into using your insurance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
I could install one. But I don't have one on board... let me look into it.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
There was a long string of errors that had to do with connections and had to do with tethering.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
Not sure if I caught it in earlier log...will try again next time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
the above capture came while one of the incidence occurred...:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
The WiMax errors can be stopped by leaving 4G off and rebooting, it's a bug but shouldn't really hurt anything.

Which ROM are you using? It looks like their updater is getting stuck in an infinite loop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
this is vanilla froyo 2.2 that came with the phone..

I am not rooted yet...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
I tried a reboot a few days ago, but the loading error keeps occurring... anything else I can do to de-bug this? one of my co-workers has an evo, and hers is doing the same thing... maybe we got something from an automatic update, because she noticed it right after I did...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
ahh ok, forgot you said you were unrooted.

Try disabling automatic updates, they just started doing something new with different software versions for different phones. That may be why it's confused.

If that isn't it then are you using your bluetooth or tethering whenever this happens?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
Which updates should I cancel? And how? I am still new to The android world... It doesn't matter if the Bluetooth or 4G is on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
I haven't done any tethering with this phone. Our whole house has wifi... so that's not an issue
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You can get to it through Menu > Settings > Sys Updates > HTC Soft. Update > Uncheck scheduled update and ok when it asks if thats what you want to do. Afterwards the Home button should take you out of there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
Thanks a lot! Got that done. Will see how it goes today at work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSithAD:
It hasn't done it again since I changed the settings. I do have to manually set the weather as I travel around. But that's not slowing me down.

sounds like a bad flash, prob screwed up the kernel and the key maping. wipe, format, reflash. if it reapears, try redownloading the rom, it may have corupted durring download. you could ask the dev for the md5 to verify it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
I basically got this phone because it is GSM and I plan on doing more traveling outside of the country. Its not worth getting the TP2 or BB Bold instead of my EVO, so I went with this instead. I wont be leaving again until January 1st, but I need to get this thing SIM unlocked asap. Anyone have one unlocked? How did you get it unlocked and what will it cost me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcp011235:
Shoot me a PM. I can get you unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmd1981:
You know... it's cool that you developed a way to unlock phones and want to get paid for it, but you could at least lay out the other option: calling T-mo and getting the unlock code FOR FREE.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StanSimmons:
If you are a post-paid TMO customer in good standing, you can get one phone unlocked per line every 90 days for free. Call TMO customer care.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcp011235:
Yes after 90 days.

If you choose to wait. IF you want it now. me :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmd1981:
It's not after 90 days. He should call them first and then come back to you if he doesn't want to wait (if he even has to wait). I believe the T Mo rep said you had to either paid the phone in full or be a customer for 40 days when I called.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafa:
I paid full and tmobile provided me the unlock codes 1 week after I got the phone. My G2 is unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StanSimmons:
I called TMO the day I got my G2. I had the unlock code the next day before lunch.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmd1981:
I called today and put my request in the the unlock code. The only reason I had to wait is I haven't paid in full for the phone yet. She said it would take about 24 hours. RHCP, I've seen you in so many threads pimping your ability to unlock people for $$$... pretty despicable if you ask me especially when it's easy to just call and get it for free.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
I am not sure I would characterize offering an unlock code for a fee as despicable. He's not forcing you to use his service, just offering it. I chose to call T-Mobile and request it for free, but that being said, I have certainly paid for unlocking in the past.

My (unrequested two cents), call TMO and get the code emailed to you. If you are not eligible, playing someone to do it is also an option. There have been reports of the phone not connecting to any networks after unlocking. If you get the code from TMO, at least, you might have some recourse if you have to return the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmd1981:
Understood, just the way he's doing it. If he said "Call T-mo, but if it's a long wait then I can do it.", then I would view it in a more positive light. Right now, it looks like he's hoping for some sap that doesn't know they can call T-mobile to get it will pay him for something they can get for free.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
I'm guessing T-Mobile would just ignore my request as I'm not a customer...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmd1981:
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that's true. You should definitely call them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
This is probably a dumb question, but is there any possibility to give Eclair the ability to sync multiple Google Apps calendars? It is limited to calendars from only 1 Google Apps account, but from what I've read, that limitation was addressed in Froyo.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Isira:
Try sharing your Google calendars with your master account and give it full permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Yeah, I know that there are some workarounds (like that one), but the non-main account is my business account and the calendar isn't shareable with accounts outside the company.

Edit: Thank you, though, for the response! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
The one "workaround" I have in place is that I setup an "Email" account with my google credentials using m.google.com as the server, then set it to never push mail, just sync my calendar, it's a google apps account and it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Sorry if I am being dense, can you elaborate/clarify?

If I add any other account to the Accounts area of Settings via the Google option, it will not provide me with the ability to sync a calendar (because my primary is a Google Apps account). If I add my account via the Corporate option, it allows creation of the account, but the calendar doesn't show up in the Calendar app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
I use the Corporate email setting, using "username"@********.***, you can just as easily use a gmail address mygmailaccount@gmail.com as an example, once the settings appear for the domain\username, wipe out what's automatically placed there and instead enter mygmailaccount@gmail.com or whatever your FULL gmail/google apps email address you wish to use, enter your password and then for the Exchange Server enter m.google.com also make sure Use SSL is enabled. Once completed I uncheck syncing of contacts as I already have the same account set up in the GMail app, I set it ti NEVER push mail, no notifications, and to sync calendar, the span amount shouldn't matter. I have had no problem getting it to show up in my list of calendars and to sync accordingly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
That's great, it works! Sadly it doesn't bring in all of your calendars, just the "primary" calendar for that account... but that is a huge improvement over the normal situation.

Thanks a lot for that tip, really appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] icemanjs4:
I have the paid version of juicedefender. For the most part I love it. But I have one question. For all apps that I have 3G enabled for (gmail, maps, etc), it takes a good 10 seconds or more between turning on the app, and getting any indicator that 3G is being enabled.

Does everyone else have this same issue?

Ie, I launch gmail, hit refresh, and wait - and nothing happens. Then I wonder what's wrong - about 10-15 seconds later, the 3G icon pops up in status bar, then the refresh starts.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I think most people have juicedefender enable data on the screen turning on, or the screen unlocking. I do notice there is a good 4-5 second delay after I turn on the screen. This is to be expected, at least to a certain extent.
[Epic 4G General] gmorf33:
Setting jd to enable data on unlock is probably the best compromise of convenience and battery life. I use that or toggle off data completely depending on where I'm at, using the jd widget to switch between modes.
[Epic 4G General] icemanjs4:
Thanks. I'll give that a shot and see if it doesn't kill my battery.

Since killing the DRM processes, my battery life has been tremendous! so maybe now I can afford to have 3G on with the screen.
[Epic 4G General] gmorf33:
If you're going to be doing alot of usage not requiring data you can always use the handy jd widget to toggle data off. The widget has 3 modes:

On - user controlled

On - jd controlled

Off - user off
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
