based on what network you're on?

I.e. When I'm at home, I want my Google Voice # to forward to my Skype # since I don't get any cell reception at home. But, when I'm away from home, I don't want Google Voice to forward to Skype since it only works on Wifi.

What I'd like is an app that as soon as I get attached to a certain network's SSID (i.e. HOME NETWORK) it automatically forwards calls to Skype so I can actually get the call.

Or even as soon as my phone is on a wifi connection...Skype becomes active.

Basically, people are calling me on my Google Voice # when I'm at home and my phone doesn't even ring...

use this method my friend: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

with visioary r11 tho because it seems to be working better for most. youll get temp root, and then perm root after doing the steps shown in the guide. if you need any help, just let me know.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
and i bricked it. so please dont ask about if its possible cuz its obviously not. im stuck at the galaxy tab logo (i think its new). but thats about it. i dont recommend you doing this. so theres obviously something in the hardware that is different than the US versions of the tab.

i ended up getting a replacement from tmo. it had a dead pixel anyway.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtcee:
Did you try to push the factory firmware back
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
couldnt find a factory one. do you have a link?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtcee:
No I was hoping you backed up yours
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
Should be able to get it back through Kies...no?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jperson81:
I was able to get it working on mine just fine other than 3g not working anymore. I'm trying to hunt a stock firware down too I found firmware PM me for the link forums wont let e post external links yet, no luck on getting mine flashed back to 2.2 yet, if I do however ill keep you updated.

[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
So, I am getting bored with my iphone 4... and feel like tinkering again. I loved my nexus one and these forums.... now I am thinking about getting a desire hd (my biggest concern is, it will NOT run on 3g on my network - rogers).

I am hoping and assuming I can get by with wifi and 2g.... if that phone is that good and fun.....

Will 2.3 get on this device... as soon as these guys get their hands on it?

How is the battery life? Is it easy to change the battery (buy spares etc)

Any input would be appreciated. thx

**updating this a bit: So, I thought this would at least work on 3g with telus new network..... if that is not the case, I might just sell the phone.... even though I ordered the otterbox and higher capacity battery! My question is, am I better off leaving and selling the phone as is mint and untouched (sim free phone). Or would the value be better rooted? thx again
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
I live in the states and I don't even notice it missing 3G. I'm mostly on wi-fi, and when I'm not, 2G is enough to not care it's not 3G. The phone is worth it for me. I wouldn't trade it for any other phone right now, not even MyTouch 4G which I could have, but the DHD is to awesome. I have it now just over a week, and the battery lasts a solid day and a half, and it keeps getting better each charge. I could probably get two days if I needed to. FroYo 2.2 is all I need, so I'm not concerned when it will get GB, but I assume soon after it's release, seeing how this is a flagship phone. I say get it, and you won't regret it. :-)

Oh, and as far as changing the battery, it's not that hard once you get the hang of how the cover comes off and on. Same with the sim/antenna cover, and if you do happen to break them, HTC already has them on their site, so you can buy more if you need to. Once you remove the battery cover the battery actually just falls out. It's held in by the cover, so once you remove it, be careful not to drop the battery out without having your hand there to catch it.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
thx, yea... I kind of just want to try the beast, lol.... just to be stupid, what is dhd? I have not researched the phone yet... I just see one in canada on ebay... ends in 9 hours, thinking about bidding on it..... I just like trying new phones, if you have any more input, it is much appreciated ;)

thx
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
DHD = Desire HD, I will be mad if you get the DHD before me. (just kidding haha)

Don't worry too much about 2.3, there will probably be a way on here (xda) for you to flash to it when it comes out anyway.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
Won the auction, I should have it by wed at the latest ;)

He claimed there was a 3g fix out there somewhere, but that makes no sense... if it does not use the band....

but he has a utube video out there, using the htc telus hero on rogers w/3g.... the hero and the desire use the same bands right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWEAfJ_DxZc
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
up for this youtube video, if these phones use the same band/freq.... does that mean I can make it work on rogers via 3g?
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
Nope you can't, that's the Hero he got from Telus which have the North American band ...it's nothing special. However, the Desire HD have the Global frequency, 900, 2100.

Rogers, bell, telus are using 850, 1900
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
that sucks, 2g blows..... I mean, really... if I am going to focus on wifi, I won't even need a data plan.... unless they release a new desire hd for telus :)

but I do love my rogers retention plan
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
updated for this question

So, I thought this would at least work on 3g with telus new network..... if that is not the case, I might just sell the phone.... even though I ordered the otterbox and higher capacity battery! My question is, am I better off leaving and selling the phone as is mint and untouched (sim free phone). Or would the value be better rooted? thx again
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
I wonder if 3g matter that much though ... but to answer your question, I would say leave it untouched.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
well, I do use a fair amount of data via 3g... approx 300 mb a month.... 2g is almost unusable in comparison.... I will get it and play with it and see how I like it.... but without 3g, makes me sad, lol

thx
[Desire HD General] krico:
Desire HD Coming

OMG. I just ordered my DHD today so hopefully i should get it in about a week's time. No more uTube watching for me when you've got the real thing to play with. :p:p:D:D
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
got mine today and put the otterbox on it! I highly recommend the case....

however, I could not get my rogers "2g" to work.... I hope it is just me being new to android, I know 2g is garbage.... but atleast it would still work for email etc.... I was told it would work on this phone?

Any ideas

thx
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
You need to set the right APN settings. You can call rogers technical support for that. Tell them you have an Android phone, they should be able to walkthrough the steps with you. Or you can google it too.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
figured as much, will call them tomorrow. thx

Phone is pretty sweet overall..... but a few odd things I noticed so far, the camera is "off".... if I point at a bright yellow piece of paper, it appears white....

the colors seem washed in comparison to the ip4, the dual led flashlight is not as bright as the ip4s single (not a fanboy - just stating the obvious)...... I been playing with it for atleast 4 hours, battery life seems pretty good overall, all things considered.

[EVO 4G General] rejectedkid:
Just got my commuter case from otterbox and its freaking awesome! I feel well protected!
[EVO 4G General] gunflight:
Yes. Coolest case i have ever owned. Makes the phone feel like a tank in your hand.
[EVO 4G General] J Piddy:
The only thing I don't like as much is the soft rubber, it collects alot of dirt. At least for me. Other then that I love it.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
pics....review
[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:
just keep an eye out for the bottom rubber part. I've had mine for less than two months and it got really flimsy and it tore :/
[EVO 4G General] thefredelement:
I'm having this same problem right now - what I find is that after you put it back in to the plastic case, push it down a tad and it seems to un flimsy it for it a bit. I can tell it won't last though.

I wish there was a way to shrink the rubber piece so it fit like it did at first, that being said I'd buy it again if it breaks, it's the best evo case I've used.
[EVO 4G General] nosfanatic2006:
Love my case. Had it a little over a month and the bottom rubber flap isn't flimsy on mine
[EVO 4G General] rejectedkid:
I bought mine on eBay at 19 bucks. I was afraid it was going to be bulky but to my surprise it is not.
[EVO 4G General] YeOj:
Yeah, I've had my otterbox commuter case for about a week now. It's definitely the best case out there. It really makes the power and volume buttons more accessible. Anybody on the fence about this case, just get it - you won't be disappointed.
[EVO 4G General] vader5998:
I'll have to agree with everyone, this case makes the phone feel very secure and protected. Yet it still slips right into my pants pockets. Now when ever I hold my wife's or anyone else's EVO it just feels so fragile, and i'm scared to drop it for fear of breaking it.

So I have to say this is the best case I ever had for any of my phones...
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
I liked my OtterBox Commuter case for my Evo so much I bought one for the Hero I gave to my girlfriend. She loves hers as well. The only problem is that she tried to put the screen protector on by herself and it was, well to be quite honest, a f***ing disaster.
[EVO 4G General] mattrb:
Dont buy this sh*t,

The case broke my power button.

Stupid of me to think this was a good case.
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
All these reviews talking about how awesome the case is and then this. Seriously, how did it break your power button? The silicon case is the only thing that touches the power button. The hard plastic shell doesn't come anywhere near it. Did you drop your phone? Why was it stupid of you to think this would be a good case when it's one of the highest rated cases out there? I'm thinking your situation was a fluke, dude.
[EVO 4G General] Mship:
I have had the case for about two months with my phone and the only issue I have with it is the rubber piece that sticks out of the bottom like everyone else. I am curious as to how you think the case broke your power button as well?

I have heard that some people have been having issues with their power buttons in general but not because of the case.
[EVO 4G General] SouthPhilly:
So ya I just got my Commuter case the other day and could not be more pleased with it. Hands down one of, if not the best designed and well thought out cases on the market.

Like a lot of people I though a case like this would add extra bulk to our bulky friend. But I got to tell you, this case just fills RIGHT. I don't see myself removing this case any time soon.

What I mean by that is, I had a case for work( that HTC rubber one from Sprint) and a case for when I wasn't working(some 10$ thin plastic case from a mall cart).

This case is the best of both of them. It combines the protection of the HTC case with out the extra bulk and slickness of the thin plastic case from the mall.

Best money I've spent in a long time. Well worth paying even full price for it.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
The bottom rubber flap sucks, its flimsy and it won't stay ! I think it's just a bad design... should have made it stick just the the flap they put over the headphones plug in.

Other than that, great case...
[Streak 5 General] odna3ra:
I have one of the original BETA units of the Dell Streak that is compatible with T-mobile in the US. Because I have not been able to get the 3G to work consistently (and I lack the time and knowledge to figure out how to root the phone, etc. to try and get around the issue), I have decided to sell it.

I checked out eBay and Craigslist, but I can't find a single beta unit listed for sale.

Question: How much do you guys think this phone might be worth at this point? And can you recommend any good places to sell it online?

Thank you in advance.
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
in good shape I would say $600, maybe more to the right person, or start at 650. I think factory unlocked is ~$650. I always have great success with craigslist, just inlcude photos, hardware and software screenshots.
[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
I honestly think you need to be around $400.

It's not got a warranty and is "used" regardless of condition.

I'd pay extra for new... thats why I say $400.
[Streak 5 General] jrgnd77:
If the phone was fully warranted by Dell and you could verify that 3G on TMobile worked properly, you could ask a pretty penny for it...
[Streak 5 General] msgnyc:
If you can post a video for potential buyers to view showing that 3G is capable on T-Mo bandwidths then it should be worth quite a bit. New or not.

Just aslong as it is in like new condition.

There are many T-Mo users who would like a streak, but it is non-compatible with their 3G bands.
[Streak 5 General] untrueparadox:
you have to jump through a bunch of hoops with the t-mobile technical support before they will unblock the imei or else you'd be stuck with the webconnect $40/month internet plan.

if you're willing, i have an at&t unlocked engineering streak i'd trade with you. i believe someone on modaco sold a tmobile streak for $500 more than a month back.
[Touch HD General] sha:
Hi everyone,

The touch screen on my blackstone has stopped responding to

touch/stylus, although the display itself works fine. From what I've read, it sounds like that this is most likely to be because the touch digitizer has broken.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for shops in London that can repair this kind of problem?
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Right now I have a suction car window mount zip tied to the handle bars of a thousand dollar bicycle. I gotta upgrade since I use it so much to track my rides. I've found a few via google, but wanted to see if anyone has tried something and has knowledge they could share.
[Vibrant Accessories] Nickarus:
I'd be interested in a link to what you've found so far...

Personally I'd prefer an armband if you bike for hours at a time and want to listen to tunes or access for calling while riding.

If you only want it to track, I'd just stash it in one of the side pockets of my rear rack sack... then again I've never explored the potential of tracking my rides with my phone (already have a garmin)... is there a particular app suited for that?
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
I can link next time im at a computer. As for access I use a set of rocketfish BT headphones that also have a mic making phone calls about as good as your going to get while riding. I like to keep cardio trainer up to watch my stats while I ride. I'll prob just order a couple different models and see what works best.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Oh and cardio trainer blows a reg gps out of the water. Mph, calories burned, and a ton of other stuff. Plus paid version has a race against yourself feature that over lays previous rides so you can have someone pushing you even when alone. So many pros to using your phone especially when paired with a BT headset, I can go on forever. Highly recommend looking into it.
[Vibrant Accessories] gopack13:
Since you seem to have the luxury of having some extra dough to spend, take a look at the BioLogic ReeCharge by Dahon. It hooks up to a dyno hub and can be used to charge your phone while you ride. They also have a mount for the iPhone, and who knows, maybe it could be modded to fit the Vibrant.

I personally plan on trying this in the near future as I ride year round for work (even in the lovely Chicago winters) and it would be nice to use navigation, among other things, while keeping the phone charged.

It's pretty new so still pricey, but cool either way.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Thats a very cool gadget, but not something that would be much use to me since low battery isnt an issue for me until late in the evenings. While I do have enough excess money in my pockets to afford a couple

(cut off my post)

...couple of cheap mounts I cant justify spending over 100 on aomething ill never use. Maybe when pice drops by half ill get one to play with.
[Vibrant Accessories] gopack13:
Yeah, the price point is why I'm not sure how near the "near future" is... Plus i'd have to get a dyno hub or a prebuilt wheel. A lot of added cost for not that much benefit. I just can't deny how cool it would be, and I have a tendency to splurge on what I perceive as cool.

Anyway, which mounts are you looking at? What I like about the iPhone mount from Dahon is that it's weatherproof. What I don't like about it should be obvious. Since I ride year round, regardless of weather, the weatherproof aspect would be pretty essential for my use. I see a few for the Vibrant, but they look bulky, and don't seem to be weatherproof.
[Vibrant Accessories] Oldcarnut:
Check out the mount from the company Thought out, they have a web site and they are on amazon. I have their PED3 FORM mount in my car and it works great. I saw they have a bike mount that looks good but since i mountain bike i dont want to have my phone exposed in the event i take a digger.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Will do. I gotta do some research on them and get.something ordered. Mount I had been using suffered a breakage so now its riding in my pockets on rides.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
All I saw in the bike mount section was for the ipod/iphone. Perhaps I have to pick through their site some more.

I did go ahead and purchase this mount:

http://tinyurl.com/2es8ke7

Which seems like a pretty good deal since it comes with both car and bike mount options. They also offer google checkout so thats always a +.
[Vibrant Accessories] Oldcarnut:
Yes they only list iphone but the mount for the skinned iphone is just right for the vibrant. The fingers that hold the phone are bendable and could easily fit a skinned vibrant. My vibrant without a case or skin needed the fingers bent in a little to work but man it holds the phone very securely.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Will keep it in mind, but I cringe at the thought of taking my phone out of a protective case. I paid full price for this joker and only want to do so once.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Got the mount in and this thing is very very nice. The mount comes with a highly adjustable clamp mount and a suction cup flexy neck windshied mount that you can can transition back and forth quite easily. What strikes me thw most is the solid design of it. If anyone is interested in pics let me know.
[Vibrant Accessories] mmas0n:
Yes, pics please. I ride trails, so I would never attach a $500 phone to my frame, but I'm still interested to see.
