It is Android. And I've been waiting more than 15 minutes and nothing changes, only black screen with HTC on it...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcab87:
Ive had this happen to me when I was switching builds. I deleted everything on my sd card that was related to android. Usually, the folders that android makes on your sd card are all lowercase letters. The folders are start with a capital letter are Windows Mobile specific folders. So delete all those folders, dont forget to show hidden files just to make sure you get all the folders. Afterwards, with whatever build you plan on using, its probably best to re-download that build just to make sure no files were edited and copy them to your sd card.

Basically just start with a clean slate and you should be good to go.

i had the same problem just reformat ure memory card on ure htc hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mila1909:
I formated the sd every time I tried. It's not that:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
Same

I got the same problem:( I have tried everything waited more dan 20 minutes. Formatted 25 times. Iam searching all forums to find something:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fig_jam_uk:
Ok, I have mentioned this a couple of times and it seems to fix this issue, format the SD card within windows (a full format not a quick one) and ensure that you format it to clusters that are 32kb.

Also what radio are you both using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mila1909:
I use 2.15.50.14 now, bit tried with every radio over 2.8
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
Iam now trieying what you said. I let u know about it.

I use radio 12.50
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mila1909:
nope, again not working...I am desperate
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
Same:( format didnt help, iam now gonna try other kernels.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mila1909:
well finally works!!! I instaled hspl3 and energy rom and tried with mattcleofroyo1.8 and it happend ...I don't know if it works with another build but this one is good, no problems till now
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
I got energy rom 2 and hspl3 gonna try that android build:D i let you know if it works. try to use the zImage from mattcleofroyo with another build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
That build didnt work for me after jumping kernel my leds flashed an i got whit streak.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
That's normal at the first boot, he wrote it in his thread.. Was the same for my phone, just let it doin' his thing ;) it will finish after about 10min.

And what I wanted to say, I think mattc 1.8 is one of the best Sense builds out there.. Works so damm' smooth. Old but gold :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mila1909:
Yes I agree. I've tried several after this one and got back on mattc...There are few problems but I hope that will be fixed in other versions....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FFVengeance:
You mean you got all kinds of distorted graphics all over the screen. Black and white stripes kind of thing? If so, that's because you probably replaced zImage but didn't replace initrd.gz. Regardless, if you leave it on the screwed up black/white screen, it should load within 10-15 min.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolgut:
Yeah i see whit and black stripes. does that means that android will load?

I wil try it again and wait 20 minutes:D i hope it will work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yrneh122:
I've been testing copilot 8 on my Desire G7 lately. I keep the GPS turned-off, when I'm not planning on using the navigation application and I activate it before i start the navigation app (copilot). At start up, it always takes the app 1-3mins or a longer time to determine it's current location.

Could anyone with off-line GPS experience tell me whether this kind of performance is within the normal boundry? A friend told me that leaving the GPS activated at all time will solve the problem. Is it true? If I do that will the GPS constantly sync satelite signals and causing it to wear out faster than usual?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you keep your gps enabled, it will already have a satellite fix before you run your gps apps, so there will be no waiting time, the gps dosent constantly sync satellites, it just keeps a fix, it will use more battery, and it will also use the gps for "my location" but it isnt a noticeable battery drain!! try it, if you think it drains your battery you can always disable it :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yrneh122:
I'm glad to know that keeping the GPS activated will solve the problem. I'm not too worried about battery drain, since I can charge it frequently and the battery is at least replacable. My understanding is that if the GPS can maintain a "fix" on my current location, it should be synchronizing location data with satelites. My location varies throughout a day. It would mean to me that the "fix" on my location a GPS has is dynamic information. For a machine to maintain dynamic information, it must be processing some type of data at a particular frequency, which means that the GPS will be frequently operating. Is there anything wrong with my speculation?(I'm new to these stuff. Sorry if i'm wrong.)

My biggest concern is that whether keeping the GPS activated 24/7 will cause it to wear out at a abnormal rate. Have you had experience in taking such a practice with your mobile phone for a long period of time while your GPS hardwares still function at normal performance.

Thank you for helping me with my questions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
I've been using Co-pilot with my Desire ever since I got it (end of March) and GPS has always 'fixed' in less than 30 secs.

Recently I was trying out different radio ROMs (for non-GPS related issues) and there was one that took an awful long time to obtain a GPX fix. I switched to another one and all was fine again.

NB: My GPS is off and only switched on if and when an app requires it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yrneh122:
May I ask what rom/radio you've been using? Do you still remember which rom/radio didn't work quite well with your copilot? How often do you use your copilot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tp-archer:
I was having the same problem with the stock ROM & radio (2.2 latest OTA). Haven't tried yet with the new ROM (Leedroid 2.2d), but I was wondering if there was an Android application similar to QuickFix, Ephemeris or such on WinMo (downloading some satellite positioning data every few days to keep an approximate mapping of satellites, thus helping for a quick fix).

I also keep my GPS off unless an application requires it (e.g. navigation).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
Well even with a stock ROM and radio (T-Mobile UK), which I had running for about 1.5 months, Co-Pilot still used to have a fast fix.

Later I upgraded to the earlier MCR ROMs (leaving the stock radio) and it was still fine.

After that I went to Froyo LeeDroid ROM (v2.1a) and upgraded the radio to meet minimum requirement (I forget what version it was). With this same ROM I am now using 32.48.00.32.

I can't remember what radio version didnt work well with GPS, but it was one that many threads stated it had a 'better battery life'.

I don't use Co-pilot that often but whenever I do, the fix is reasonably quick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I have the updates installed but the unlock and selection sounds don't work. They were for a bit but then stopped. I tried to rename the rom update.zip but the phone stated it was an older version and could not flash it. It then forced me to reboot, end of story.

I want to reboot back to OG rom and then apply the updates over it.

Can anyone help me out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
Do it with paulobrian's method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
Assuming he knows what that is. OP, were you doing the fastboot flash method using the command prompt on Windows?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Now if i only knew what this really meant.

* Download the 1.19 stock ROM from here

* Download fastboot from here

* Extract the fastboot zip to the same directory as the ROM

* Turn your G2 on with the action button held (fastboot mode) I've never heard of an action button

* Type 'fastboot-windows oem rebootRUU' (case sensitive, replace windows with mac or linux as required) No where does it give me the option to type anything in.

* Type 'fastboot-windows flash zip PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459

signed.zip'

* Let this finish, then type 'fastboot reboot' and apply the OTA

P
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I used this method to revert back to stock cuz i deleted the goggles. But, the click sounds only worked for an hours then stopped.

-------------------------------------------------------

Download PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed

(the link is somewere in this thread)

*then read name it to PC10IMG.zip

*Put it on the root of your sd card.

*Power down phone

*Power up phone holding Vol Down and Power button.

*Phone will boot into fastboot i believe and then it will look for PC10IMG

*It will ask to flash it you use the vol key and power buttons to do that.

*Once it done it will reboot the phone and all your data will be gone and your be back at factory setting.

Then just rename the ota to update.zip and flash via recovery.

*remover the PC10IMG.zip from root of sd card

* Get back into the fastboot on the phone (setups up there^)

*this time use the vol button to go down to recovery.

*Once at recovery hold vol up and hit the power button.

*then vol down to flash update.zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
First make sure you media vol is on and up. If its not then u wont be able to hear it. And second you can downgrade the phone. All andiords are downgrade block unless we have custom bootloader. And the steps poste above are mines I orignaly posted them so I know it wont work after u applyed the ota
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
You cannot downgrade using either of the fastboot methods (fastboot-windows or fastboot on your phone) listed above after you have applied the OTA. It checks the version and then tells you that the downgrade version is old.

So far, I have not seen a solution to downgrade.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dyndragon:
This is correct, verified live in IRC by people in #g2root
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Just call tmob and tell them your hinge is loose! Exchange phone, don't apply OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
All the sounds stopped working on my phone a day ago, had to do a hard reboot to get them working again.

OTA was applied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Well, I called tmobile and told them my issue. I also told them I had already tried to reset my phone in attempts to fix the sound issue to no avail. I've got a new or like new G2 on it's way.

I'm going to be kinda bummed if it's a like new (refurbished) model, but then again it can't be older than the one I got now. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
Help, I have a weird problem with my phone. It keeps saying it's "connected" to a usb cable when it's not. :( Can still get it working fine and everything but the major problem is when I "power off" the phone. I cannot turn it back on unless it's connected to a usb cable.

This happened on last night, I'm thinking it's a hardware issue and may need to be replaced but was wondering is there anything else I can do?

I've tried hard reset the phone (that is it formats EVERYTHING on the phone, done through the service code). Tried factory reset, didn't work.

Tried flashing a new firmware with repartition, didn't work either :(

Can anyone help or suggest what I can do?

Thanks.

If I return this, might get another phone. since the gps is **** on this anyway :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemuro:
Hi Leo Users,

I am considering buying this phone but I need to see how well it handles in android.

Can someone post a video using one of the most recent and more working roms? I want to get an idea of how well it goes.

1. What is currently not supported on the leo?

2. Does all of its ram get ported in android or does it use only a smaller part?

3. What about the camera? Is the camera app using the camera to it's full potential?

4. Video playback? Does it play hd?

5. Is a nand installation of android possible?

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
1. For each Android distro out there it says in its own topic what's working and what it is not. I know it can't record video in HD 720p.

2. As far as I know, Android uses all available RAM.

3. There are still some issues with the camera, mostly because improvements are still made to native Android phones. I doubt you will use the camera like that. I don't consider it a low point.

4. Video playback is really good and it also plays HD. I tried with some Youtube HD videos and they were ok. Haven't tried with a computer encoded fully fledged HD. I know that there are video players on Android Market that can play all Xvid encoded videos out of the box. Just copy it on the SD card and you are set.

5. At this moment, NAND installation is not possible. There were some major improvements done and I think it will be possible to be functional at some point.

6. I would add the fact that HD2 can run a lot of Android flavors because it can launch them from within WinMobile. This is something you can never achieve with a native Android phone.

7. Battery drainage is still heavy. Every day something new is discovered on how to improve battery life.

I see you own a Wildfire. HD2 is a lot better that it. I read it on a Romanian tech blog, an editor made a comparison between native Android phones and HD2.

From phantom skinz, "The skin for the MyTouch 4G should be available by the middle of next week.

Would you like me to send you an email when it is available?"

Just thought I would share the news for those that like skins.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Dreh4christ:
mytouch 4g

Do you know how much the skins cost?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] setzer715:
Typically 25 for clear and 35 for chormatics. I dont know, though, if they'll release chormatics for it. Phantom Skinz is hands down one of the best.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] BeEazy10:
Chromatics skin looks nice and plus there offer 30 Percent off if im not mistaking.. keep us updated i might try this out beside buying Zagg product
[myTouch 4G Accessories] setzer715:
Zagg, in my opinion, is ugly, feels wrong, thick. I just don't like them. Phantom skinz are the best, chromatics are cool. Best skins ever would be second place for me. Here is a link to the carbon fiber chormatics I put on my Vibrant.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] methodz:
damn, that cf looks hott! i hope they make it for the mt4g!!!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] BeEazy10:
Nice how is the grip with the carbon fiber skin?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] pack:
these look sick... thanks for the post i havent seen em before
[myTouch 4G Accessories] dragon_usa:
Incase you want Zagg,I see they just have it for Mytouch 4g

and this is 30% off if you guy want to use :cn2d4jbda

HURRY it will expire soon
[myTouch 4G Accessories] setzer715:
The feel is smooth like vynal but with texture. Its NOT like the clear covers most place use. I think its a little stronger but slicker so if you require a tackier grip I wouldn't go with chormatcis. I loved it personally.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] BeEazy10:
I like Zagg case because it increase your phone grip, so a chromatic case doesn't do that
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ESKIMOn00b:
AFAIK the clear phontom skinz have increased grip... he was refferring to the chromatics line...

i personally find zagg products waaaaayyyy to thick...makes the screen clunky...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] mixer5911:
Any newz on the chromaticz skinz?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] setzer715:
Chromatics aren't out yet but standard skinz are. Link

I was just coming in here to post about this...I received the email this morning about them

I am debating on holding out for skinit or someone to come out with something that I can just make my battery cover and camera surround white...to match the rest of the phone
[myTouch 4G Accessories] bredemey:
Does anyone know if the "Matte full body kit" is better grip-wise than the "Full body kit"? Or is it just for looks? Thanks.

Im ordering black CF right NOW!!!

Thanks for the code!!!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] methodz:
Thanks again for the code. It ended up being $20.96 with free USPS shipping. I'll let you guys know how it goes, I'll probably cut out the part that covers the metal bezel.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] QUEDRO:
Which part are you talking about?

I think you can actually skip that part if you talking about the back lid.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Lakeshow423:
I have always used zagg as my screen protectors but fins the orange peel to be annoying now. If I decide to go with phantom skinz, will the protection be as good but more invisible looking w/o the orange peel? Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] methodz:
it might be that orange peel stuff because in the video they show the girl dip the sp in water then squeejie it out. that is usually the material that has the orangepeel. just replace that section of the kit with a better sp.

@quedro i was talking about the silver metal trim
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Lakeshow423:
I just got the black CF Chromatic skin in today. Ill post pics tomorrow or sometime in yhe weekend. 2 free screen protectors and the Chromatic skin for $20.96 shipped to my door. You cant beat that 30% off coupon deal (winter30). Wish me luck with the install, first timer here, use to pay ppl to do it...try to get my feet wet this time around :P
[myTouch 4G Accessories] QUEDRO:
Daaamn!!! Lucky you...I am still waiting on mine.

Got luck with install! Definitely wanna see those pix,

I am kinda scared to install my self.....not that good with this )
[myTouch 4G Accessories] methodz:
Got mine in today(black CF) and installed it. My thoughts are:

I'll start with the good.

- The material is phenomenal. Wayyyy better than what i was expecting. it is like real CF with adhesive. 2x2 weave.

- Came with 2 screen protectors

- Looks phenomenal!!!

- The fit on the pieces I decided to use was excellent. weave crossed right over perfectly with no hitch in the pattern.

- its just a sticker so it doesn't add any bulk. It is a hair shorter than the sections you are applying it to so apply carefully so you don't get uneven lines.

The bad.

- Screen protectors are those adhesive orange peel ones. though i did like the cut on them. I wish i could find an sp with that cut that didn't have orange peel. (Im using some old N1 screen protector that I had laying around instead, looks better for now until I decide on a MT4G one that I like)

- the side pieces run into the bezel. (not bad for me because I didn't even use those pieces)

- Spotty coverage(bad thing if your phone isn't black)

- SLIPPERY!!!

- offers no real drop protection like a thin gel case.

It was cold in my house so it wasn't sticking very well even after ample pressure. I think the material has to do with it. If the black was the same smooth texture as the white MT4G it probably would have stuck on better. SO... I took a lighter to it and everything eventually stuck really snug. The directions say use a blow dryer but I used a cigarette lighter, whatever it did the trick well. I only uses 4 pieces, camera section, battery cover, below the battery cover and trackpad section. The whole back of my phone is CF with no major gaps. It looks SIIIICK!

Oh, i wouldn't recommend black CF for white or red phones but not so much plum because it is dark. There is just too many gaps if your phone isn't dark, kinda makes it look cheap but if you have black you are good to go. I left the side pieces off as it keeps the grippiness of the phone, again the CF is slippery.

Don't be scared guy, it is like putting stickers one something. If you screw up peel it off and reapply. Just that back section alone was worth the money IMO. Damn, someone know where I can buy the CF sticker material, I want to CF my everything!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Flyview:
Running GOT 2.2.1. Overclocked to 1100MHz / 66vsel with milestone overclock and it was working fine for 15 minute, then the phone crashed and now it keeps crahing on boot during the GOT Team Android logo :/

I did NOT check off the milestone overclock settings to load on boot

Can I retore this without wiping data through open recovery?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Svid:
Try to nandroid backup and them restore the ROM via RSD Lite
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hefonthefjords:
try just using openrecovery to remove or change the overclock first. then if that doesnt work reflash.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Possibly.

You didn't move the program to your sd card, right? If that's the case, it's easy.

Through adb, go into /data/app/ and remove it there. 99% of your market applications are here as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acoleman1981:
I have cyanogen 6.1.0rc1 installed and anytime that i add certain widgets like pure messenger my phone gets extremely laggy and i have to remove it. On sense i used all 7 screens and had them loaded with widgets and no lag at all. I'm not complaining about cyanogen, I love it and will never switch back to sense, but I was just wondering what would make it so laggy.

If this is an issue with needing a better performing kernel, please suggest some that don't have bad side effects like no bluetooth or something like that.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my wm6.5 to 6.5.5.

So far, beside that huge ugly softkey bar, I don't see much difference between 6.5 6.5.5. So could someone point out the main improvements with 6.5.5 (Don't know yet if I keept it or revert to 6.5).

Thanx

So I've been using gv since I got my g2 for a majority of my text messaging to save some money on my plan. I was just browsing through the gv guides and read that when your contacts text you it should come from a unique 406 number, not their real phone number. this has never happened for any of my contacts...am I doing something wrong? all of my contacts I've been texting show their normal 714 numbers, no 406
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
If you are using the GV app, it will show the normal numbers. If you have GV configured to forward SMS to your carrier number (so they show up in the standard messaging app) then they will come from a unique 406 number.

Since you are using the GV app, everything is working as it should :)
