"...bit off considering..."

of whom? htc? not really, it means virgin chose to support their own phones, rather than let htc do it, which would have cost them (virgin) more.

same with most networks, they lock the phones and handle issues themselves, and in return their purchase price is reduced.

goldcard is currently the only method to get a working 3.14 rom on our provider locked phones, gimme a cid and i'll make you one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
Thanks strange, I'm on Virgin and dont have any issues at all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
I have gone back to cooked roms and have HSPL on the phone

Have you looked for a wwe serial to use instead of your own?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
not that that would be any use, because if it wont download using your serial, it wont install on a phone with that serial, unless you use hspl, which makes 3.14 roms not work.

Besides, if you are gonna use a different serial, you might as well just download it from somewhere that doesnt require a serial, , the leo stock roms thread for instance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy the Puppet:
Unless Virgin have made their own ROM for us (which they obviously haven't) then it is out of order.

They shouldn't sign a deal unless they can keep phones maintained, especially buggy ones like this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
heh, dont get me wrong, im right behind you, god bless the capitalist way,,, everyones a winner except the consumer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
Well after speaking to Virgin tech support, they have not stopped you flashing to the latest ROM - they encourage it!!

Go figure it out

In fact I have just entered my serial number - they are Zero's not O's :)

and it allowed me to download and run (I aborted at the last option) so its not Virgin is it?

I also work for them and vouch for the info
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy the Puppet:
Well I've just been on the HTC website to once again try to upgrade my ROM, it won't even let me download it as it says the software is unsuitable for my device.

I'm looking at putting my phone onto Windows 7, are there any tutorials on how to do this? I've never flashed this phone before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
I have been doing enough hacking of my Captivate, I got 2.2, rooted it, installed tons of stuff (most of witch I am sure I do not need)

but anyways, any quick hack to get HSPA on my Captivate, with a update.zip or something. also, I read that sometimes BlueTooth stops working right, I use it a lot so thats not an option

Ideas?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
captivate roms dont show an "H" but hsdpa is enabled. hsupa on the other hand need an i-9000 or vibrant modem.bin and for some inexplicable reason breaks bluetooth audio but not bluetooth connectivity. bluetooth file transfers work and pairing works on all devices but the audio comes through messed up. if you dont like it get a sim unlocked vibrant or an i9000. the devs are still looking for a solution as far as i know but i may not be up to speed in that area. now there are many modem.bin files and kernels for the i9000 and vibrant have been modded to work on the captivate in both eclair and froyo so there may be a working combo that i just dont know about.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
congratulations, you have just asked what everyone has been asking for months now.....

as of right now, if you want HSUPA (we already have HSDPA), you will lose some Bluetooth capabilities....its a fact and there are lots of devs working on making it work right....unless you can code, i would suggest you just read the dev forums and wait for a proper kernel/rom combo to become available for you to use.
[HD7 General] vikramdhani:
Is there an application the integrates google voice as it does in Android
[HD7 General] ChickenChaser:
There's two Google Voice apps on the marketplace that I've seen - GoVoce (£2.49) and GV Companion (£Free)
[HD7 General] vikramdhani:
Yeah i saw the same as well and will try them out to see whats up with them
[HD7 General] ckacey:
I found the GoVoice to be a better app and bought it.
[HD7 General] vikramdhani:
Since you already have the paid version. How well is it integrated ? looks like you still need to go in the app to make outgoing calls via google voice. does it share the contacts from the phone or do you have the transfer your contact book to google voice online ?
[HD7 General] pittphan:
Go voice is very nice. But I don't think o can use it as phone Vmail.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[HD7 General] Andrmgic:
Bottom line, you're not going to get google voice integration like it is in Android.

That said, GoVoice is a solid application.

It can access your phone's contact list and from the dialer part of the application and you can choose to text or call the person you selected from your contacts list.

You can also carry on threaded text conversations from your google voice inbox via GoVoice.

The only downside is that you don't get notifications from the App when you get a new SMS or voicemail. You can work around those limitations using google voice settings, though..

i.e. you can have it forward your SMS messages to your actual nuimber and you can reply to texts from the native SMS app and have it come from your google voice number to the recipient and you can have Google sms you or e-mail you when you get a voicemail from somebody.

It's not ideal.. but if you want ideal as far as Google Voice support, Android is the only real answer. Perhaps later the developer will be able to set information for live tiles so you can keep track that way.
[HD7 General] vikramdhani:
Thanks for the detailed answer looking forward to seeing next version from the developers
[HD7 General] mrmomoman:
GoVoice is slow and laggy. No push notification as mentioned. can't make calls out still. I have sent the developer an email stating such. There is a way that he sets up a certain number to use to not be charged the international calls. Not a good work around. I did pay for it.

I hope that Google Voice makes it way to the Marketplace. I use it to dial out to China, El Salvador and Vietnam. Comes in really handy.

GV companion is not in the marketplace. He is currently working on it. I think that will be a better app.
[HD7 General] vikramdhani:
Really we can not make any outgoing calls using this APP then it is useless.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
This has not been my experience, also a paid user of the app here, my time with the app has been more like the longer reply than this one I've quoted.
[HD7 General] mrmomoman:
I wish I could say the same thing. But if you look at the preview beta video of the GV companion it has so much more functionality. It has been over 35 days since he has tweeted. I am wondering what is happening with the final WP7. I sent a tweet to him and an email. I hope to hear from him soon.
[HD7 General] pittphan:
U can use gvoice as default Vmail! Enter gvoice in phone settings.

Where are your buying from (eBay, CL, other)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovanova:
Through internet, you will always take chances. Watch for the vendor's reputation before you close the deal.

If you're going to shop in person, then I suggest you to take someone who's owned an HD2 with you to help you out.

i budgeted to pay more so i could buy from a large reputable seller so i could make sure i was not buying some dodgey grey import, first choice was amazon but they where out of stock at the tie so bought from play.com instead
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marqmarecki:
I prefer eBay...i think. I'm living in uk. I heard that there are some differents beetwen htc unbranded, o2, vodafone, etc. is that true ? if yes which one will be the best to buy?

I was thinking the same mate... it's the best way i think.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukru:
eBay is generally safe, as long as you use your common sense. There are some reputable sellers (bu sure to check their feedback, including the rare negatives they got), and eBay itself has a working claim resolution (although people recommend using PayPal's instead of eBay's - they're the same company but PayPal CS might be better).

Also make sure you read the conditions of the phones, included accessories, any defects if exists, and seller return policies. And one more thing: there are many HD2s sold as broken. They're clearly labeled so, just make sure you don't buy one.

(I personally bought mine last week from eBay, and it's very clean. Of course I had to pay slightly more).

However I don't know which version is the best for UK. I'm in US right now, and TMOUS version was the best for me. I think you cannot make use of 3G in Europe with this model because of radio chip differences, however it has more storage - 1GB, and I'm already a TMOUS customer. (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong).
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
Anyone know the reason this is happening?

It's not just on our phones... my buddy's evo does it too. and on top of it, if you enable wifi, it starts rights up. some said gtalk fixes it too

I'm just curious why most android people have this problem. it's annoying as hell.

can it be 2.1 related? I think 2.2 does it too though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowspeed:
Is there a way besides sliding the notification bar and clicking on the phone call item to go to the phone call status ? from a shortcut or a widget ?

I'd rather just press home and have it on the screen to return to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
Would love that too. What makes it worse is when i go to swipe the notification bar, I invariably trigger the proximity sensor which turns off the screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
or just hit the phone button at the bottom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Your only other option is to open the dialer/phone app. Meaning, the stock/Sense one, not DialerOne or your replacement dialer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
I can root, install Roms, and all the other geeky ****..

Yet the most basic thing... Making a phone call.... I still cannot figure out..

Flashing over to another call

Three way calling (still cannot figure this out right)

getting back to the phone while in a current call.

Is there a hold button?

LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowspeed:
Exactly.

I'm running CM6 and the stock dialer you have to press something extra to get to the actual call.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
If I purchased the phone from a reseller unlocked then reflash the firmware to an unbranded firmware will the warrantee on this phone be honored.

It's a warrantee from Samsung not a warrantee from the network provider as I'm not even with that provider.

I just remember my son paid for the installation of an unbranded firmware to be flashed on his Sony Ericcson. This did not effect the warrantee at all and the phone has been fixed on three occations by a Sony repair centre. Each time it comes back with the branded OPTUS firmware installed as only OPTUS were selling this mobile at the time. The warrantee claim was never an issue.

So true or not.

Flash an unlocked phone with unbranded firmware and return the phone for service, Samsung will still honor the warrantee.

The warrantee is after all on the phone not the firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
Hey mate, unfortunately they do not have to honour the manufacturers warranty. If you read the warranty provided with the phone clause 4.b.) the warranty ceases if "The Samsung product is repaired, serviced or interfered with (in any way) other than by us." Flashing the phone yourself with unbranded firmware would be considered such an action. However, having said that Samsung Australia are very reasonable with this sought of thing. I suggest taking it to Fonebiz or another Samsung authorised repairer with your purchase receipt (if you have one). Quite often they will fix the phone with few questions asked.

So in answer to your question, yes Samsung will probably still honour the warranty but they are under no obligation to do so.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] marada2:
just throught I would enclose the generic UK build.prop for mini pro. I replaced my old build.prop with the attached by following the instructions below. everything went well and I now have android 2.1

1. Root the x10 mini

2. Obtain the relevant build.prop file and copy to the sd card using windows or mac os x

3. install root explorer on the phone

4. open root explorer and copy the build.prop file on the sd card

5. Navigate to /system and you will see the existing build.prop file

6. Click paste and it will want to overwrite the current build.prop, click yes or overwrite

When you connect you phone to pc companion it will say that you have the latest update. ignore this and select to repair your phone. It will then download Android 2.1 and you will be ready to go!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybercowboy372:
Hey guys, I just bought a Nexus One off of craigslist. The guy that I bought it from has CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 on it right now. Im not really experienced with flashing custom roms and rooting or any of that stuff. I put Froyo on my Captivate when I had and thats it. What I would like to do is to get my Nexus One back on stock Froyo so I can start with a clean slate. Im not sure of everything that the previous owner did to the phone and Ive been having a couple of issues with it, so I just want to start over so I know exactly what is on the phone. So what I need to know is how I can do this.

-Where can I find a stock Froyo file?

-How do I put it on my Nexus One? Do I have to erase the CyanogenMod first?

-Any other hints or good roms that you guys would suggest.

-Is there a way to back up my phone so I dont have to reinstall all of my apps?

Im sorry if there is already another thread like this. I couldnt find it. Thank you for any help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
I did exactly what you did. I used the Passimg.zip method http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus Was easy as pie. But yeah i didn't need to do backup / restore of apps as it was a new phone. You can't use Titanium Backup without root, but the market as a few other apps that let you backup apps to SD card.

All info including the Froyo ROM files are linked from the wiki. I went with FRG33 and then updated to FRG83.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybercowboy372:
Thank you. I was reading through the wiki post and I wasn't sure if the files were updated because the original post date was a while ago. So if I do the method that you did, will it unroot my phone? It is rooted right now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
Yes it will unroot it, flash the stock rom and will also flash stock recovery. So if you have a custom recovery installed that will go away too. Plus all your data and apps.

My bootloader is locked, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm sending it in to HTC and want it to go as smoothly as possible.

Just as an FYI, what I did to get back to stock:

From CM6.0 I flashed clockwork recovery

from clockwork I flashed 4.06 radio (was on 5.08)

flashed stock unrooted FRF91 from an update.zip

used flash_image in ADB from recovery to flash a stock recovery.img pulled from a FRF91 PASSIMG.

Everything works and is 100% stock now.

I'm new on here and have read a few posts here in there in the last few months...I've been having some problems with my root so I decided to post for some help...sorry for the noobiness...

Ok, so I have an Epic 4g and a few months ago I tried to root it with the one click root...I'm not sure where the original thread is :/ but for some reason certain things don't work on my root and others do...I know enough to know that thats not normal but I'm not completely sure why...

For instance I can use Titanium Backup and I can use like SuperUser and that but I cant Use wireless tether.

Also, when I plug my phone into my computer it says "USB device not recognized"...could it be because my laptop is windows 64 bit? or something...

And last but not least theres apps in the app market that I'm unable to find :/ like chrome to phone so idk if thats a related problem or not...idk sorry for the noob question I know it is but I've tried reading up on everything but it seems too complicated...I just wanted to root it :/ I know I'm an idiot haha

Thanks for all the help :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkjuan:
So today I sent out a picture message to my wife while my WiFi calling was enabled. (I don't have a good signal at my house so this is the only way I can do this from home without moving around looking for a signal) Every time I tried sending the message I got a "g" pop up on the status bar next to my wifi signal bar. I tried rebooting because it wouldn't send and it still didn't work. I then set it down and ignored it and it finally wend, but maybe about 10 minutes later.

The other issue I just has been happening the last couple of days is the app just shuts down when the screen is sleeping. I set my phone down and come back 20 minutes later and the icon is missing. I go into the app to restart it but is says it's on, but trying to connect and it won't connect until I reboot. Just now I had an error message stating I wasn't connected to the tmobile network and had to sign in (or something like that) I rebooted and everything connected back up.

Anyone else had this happen to??
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
The whole mms thing is not an issue. it sends mms using your data connection to prevent something but i cant remember what. Take a look at the wifi calling thread i know it was addressed already.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blackman778g:
I think your WiFi calling shutdown when the screen went sleep because you may have WiFi set to sleep when the screen shuts off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkjuan:
I have it set to be on all the time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shibby80:
mine does the same thing i just reboot everything is good not a big deal for me
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkjuan:
Rebooting is all fine and dandy, but then I need to have it reroot itself again. And then to overclock it I have to be at my computer.

After looking at the other thread as the first responder suggested it makes sense that the MMS get sent over data connections, so I guess if I need to send an MMS I need to have a good "cell" signal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] John5788:
i am having the same problem.

from a fresh boot, wifi calling works. but once I shut the screen off, wifi calling is lost and it will not come back until I reboot again.

I was able to change the system and framework directories from R/O to R/W and add circular battery png's to the framework-res.apk and push to the phone, screen shot is attached..

It might not be the progress to get complete root, but atleast we can mod the look of it and it stay after power down.

Fastboot is off, used root explorer to change attributes and pushed with adb.
[myTouch 4G General] crx4xharder:
Ok so newb question here... I've tried to mod framework-res.apk numerous times on my n1 and adb never works right, won't push or doesn't exist, or just bootloops... Any chance you could do a step by step write up on how you got the battery .pngs To work? I was just using uot kitchen before and now without full root I can't use it... I know its a pain but this is a mod I did constantly to every rom I ran. Ie: phone on? Resign apk? Commands in adb? Thanks ;-)
[myTouch 4G General] Beast84:
Yes! instructions would be awesome!
[myTouch 4G General] NexVision:
Instructions and someone else is what it will take before I believe this. Since it is not even deodexed as well as the battery icon in the picture looks blurry (to me anyways) and doesn't look native.
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
I pulled the framework-res.apk from system/framework

opened it within winrar and moved the battery png's to res/drawable-mdpi

it asked to update after move and click ok

went into root manager and remount /system as r/w

pushed framework-res.apk to /system/framework

that is the exact steps I followed as I did with when I had my mytough3g as well
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
I still can't wrap my head around this. How do these changes persist beyond a reboot if the system partition cannot be written to??

I thought this was the single biggest issue blocking progress in developing for both this device and the G2. So, it would appear that Root Explorer can re-write anything in the system partition by simply changing from r/o to r/w?

I don't get it.
[myTouch 4G General] BeEazy10:
NICE NICE, and nice Applanet ^_^
[myTouch 4G General] crx4xharder:
so this does work. Only thing i did was mount system in clockwork recovery then push framework-res.apk to /system/framework as far percentages go, there are only .pngs for 0,10,20,40,60,80 and 100 percent so i would assume the .xml needs redone. But cool to be able to do this!
