HI all ,

My windows got currept , when i stitch on the mobile it stuck on the first secreen showing htc logo and thats it , i need to save my contacts , please help , i am very new so please explain step by step how to recover contacts.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
hey just wondering if anyone here has a 2nd shipment box of the htc desire z? i mean by this. when the phone is first released its the 1st shipment and apparently in the 2nd and 3rd shipments they fix issues with the phone like the hinges (more durable) and things like software, hardware. Does anyone know if they have sent then 2nd shipment of phones out?
[G2 and Desire Z General] GlitchZero:
Nothing's been changed between the first, second, or third shipments, as there is no actual problem with the hinge, and the only real software issue is the Microsoft Exchange issue, which will be fixed via OTA update.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Any actual info about the OTA update for Exchange 2010? Has anyone got confirmation this will happen??
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
We'll only really be able to tell on this if we see the serial/model numbers change significantly. I'm not convinced there's anything changed on the DZ from what has been posted here. It's on the G2 where there was supposedly a later batch with stronger hinges, though I'm not 100% convinced on that either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Super Chimp:
Why does this issue about the hinge keep being mentioned in all the reviews I have seen if there isn't an issue with it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Roachie:
Cause people search for issues.. with normal use THERE AINT NO PROBLEM... Yes, if you hold the Upper part with your fingers the lower part will drop down thats gravity my friend.. you want it so tight that it stays together ?? well better get superman to open up than cause than it will be to tight.. People will complain to complain... ive had my device for a day now, used it on the street, behind my pc, in my bed and i have a pretty loose hinge and never ever did it close on me when using..
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
The reason i said this is because as stated above, the G2 had a few minor fixes. I come from a Galaxy S and the 2nd and 3rd shipments of those phones "supposdly" have been more reliabe and their internal sd card do not die as frequently. I just wanted to confirm that there were any minor changes in 2nd or 3rd shipments!

As for warranty issues, where is the best place to buy from in Ontario where i can buy it outright and still have warranty? i tried bell, best buy and wireless wave. But apparently all their "extended warranties" are BS and dont help anyone out. (commission ftw?.wow)
[G2 and Desire Z General] brendanmurphy:
If you have a problem you just contact HTC directly. They will probably send you a refurb or new one and put a hold on your credit card until they get the old one back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
I have heard that they do this, but i want to make sure by someone who has tested that and actually got a refurb one. I think ive seen alot of people in the G2 forums get them correct?
[XPERIA X2 General] neelnkamat:

I also tried the phone repair option in PC suite but when i press Power and Volumn down it gives me a blue screen with Sony ericsson logo and says Sony ericsson software update on top. Please help me. I appreciate your time

EDIT: Also, I was wondering if maybe xtrRCMix was a better choice /showthread.php?t=806748

I've tried this and that and haven't been able to root my phone and flash the rom properly.

So, I factory reset my phone and decided to ask y'all to walk me through it.

I'm not a techie at all, so I don't understand any of this:

How to flash Amon Ra recovery:

/showthread.php?t=687280 (as a new user, I can't post direct links, so this is the thread URL)

What is "terminal"?

---

My end goal is to install xtrSense 4.6:

/showthread.php?t=726467

The how to install portion said:

TO INSTALL

YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED PHONE WITH THE AMON_RA RECOVERY PARTITION

download the base xtrSENSE .zip file

complete NANDROID backup

copy the .zip file to the root of your sd card

From amon_ra recovery Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik-cache, and Wipe SD:ext partition

flash the xtrSENSE file from sd card

reboot - first boot will take a while (i.e. over 10 mins - deodexed ROMs take longer on first boot)

complete short setup and let your accounts sync

Setup GScripts

you can now one-click toggle settings at any time

I don't understand any of this. Anyone mind explaining and walking me through it?

I just want my Eris to have longer battery life and be able to overclock, while still have Sense UI.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
I believe so. If you follow the instructions, you should be all set. That's what I did, and I have it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandasaurus:
What ROM do you use? I've narrowed it down to xtrSense 4.6 and xtrRCMix as choices. I was wondering which one was better...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffgman:
It really is personal choice. I have been running xtrSENSE since I rooted my phone. I would try other ones but always went back to xtrSENSE. I just installed xtrRCMix last night and I must say that is a killer rom. I am really enjoying it. I am going to try this one out for a few days and decide. You will never go wrong with xtrSENSE, but what is nice with a nand backup you can try numerous different roms and always have the security to know that you can go back.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
Same here. I mess around with Froyo ROMs and go back to xtrSense when I get tired of the bugs.

What are the top couple of differences between xtrSense and xtrRCMix?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandasaurus:
Mmm. That's my biggest question. xtrRCMix looks a little different from conventional HTC Sense UI, but other than that, what's different between it and xtrSense?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
It looks cool! And you can run a couple different Android home screens besides Sense also. But other then that it's about the same. I like it.

[Desire General] bigr1979:
I have my Desire on Three UK network. It used to fall back to a 2G signal when there was no 3g coverage, for example when I am at home.

I noticed yesterday that my phone just wouldn't get a signal in the house, I then checked my old N95 which still has a Three Uk sim card and same problem.

Anyway I went to work and same issue inside the office. Can get a 3g signal when there is one but no 2g signal.

I deceided to phone up Three customer service to see if there was a fault or something but no real help there apart from they said they would report what I said to their technical team.

I then come home and look on the net and see things like this....

http://www.gogadgetnews.com/2010/11/08/3-starts-killing-off-2g-coverage/

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems ?

If they have switched of 2g here then I am fuming as it means I cant receive any calls at home !!
[Desire General] tidy:
The 3 network hate to 2 use 2g because thay have to pay 02 to piggy back on there network
[Desire General] foxmeister:
They used to use O2, but they switched to Orange some years ago.

If you no longer get a signal at home or work you may be able to get out of your contract.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] copex:
Yes. so much so i have got out of my contract eary without penatly, over the last 6 months the 3g transmiter works for a few days every time thay fix it.
[Desire General] tidy:
Thay have turned off 2g now a quick look on Google will fill you in with the information.

Whats the point of live wallpaper when its slows your phone down! Google should improve this or take the feature away.....it worthless!!

Anyone else feel this way?

someone who doesnt know that this kills your phone would think its the phone that sux!!

Are you calling me a liar? Not wise.
[Fascinate General] BingoDanny:
I dont use the word liar. Im just saying your not be honest. And I think you do a diservice to other android users who will get confused by your answer wondering why theres is sluggish and stuttery.....when using live wallpaper (atleast the ones that come built into fascinate)
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I think you just don't know how to use your phone.

FYI--Telling someone that they are not honest is calling them a liar.
[Fascinate General] piiman:
Which one are you using because they don't slow mine down but I have had some that did. I got rid of those.
[Fascinate General] piiman:
Nope it's you
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Some live wallpapers are way more taxing than others. Depends on your home launcher too.

I'm using the tw vibrant launcher and most lwps don't slow it down at all.

Mario lwp on playback mode has no real lag problems at all.

If you're using adw or launcher pro, good luck. They don't handle live wallpapers nearly as smoothly.
[Fascinate General] BingoDanny:
adrynalyne im not trying to insult you bro. not my intention. what I meant in a friendly way to say was "C'mon you f'n kidding me?" :)

Unless im a complete mental....you mean to tell me that lets say you use the Pond wallpaper....that doesnt slow your launcher down? Or even slow you down when flickin through pages?

BTW Im using launcherpro set to its fastest settings.

Without the live wallpaper i ZOOM!
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
No, but as mentioned above, different launchers handle lwp better.

Sadly, the twlauncher handles it the best.
[Fascinate General] BingoDanny:
@pkopalek just saw your post about launcherpro having problems.....if thats the case SORRY I spoke to soon i am a TARD!

:)
[Fascinate General] achandler2:
Check what running in your back ground dude. Only time Ive experienced sluggishness is when I had the voodoo installed
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
TouchWiz with the lwp flurry yields no lag in page changes or app launching. Just about a 8% extra decrease in battery throughout the day versus a static image.

good day.
[Fascinate General] lthibeault:
I had some lag issues in the past all of them fixed by task killer or format sd card to clear out all the crap on it. Cache cleaner helps alot as well. Havent had many issues with live wallpapers only one would totally freeze my phone so I tossed it and no more issues. Been over a month since noticable lag or any freezing... And thats the truth. Take it or leave it.

This is my Ubuntu theme ported to the stock froyo.

I am currently working on a donate version of this except it will not be just a theme, it will be a full rom with lots of extra features.

When it is ready to go I will let you all know.

This theme has only been tested on Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo, and will probably not work on other roms!!!

This theme is meant to be flashed with clockwork! Enjoy!

If you have no dock icons after flash go to: menu > settings > applications > manage applications then click on the "all" tab at the top and find the app: com.sec.android.app.twlauncher and click on it. Now click force stop then click clear data and you will be all good.

This theme has:

Custom and stock Ubuntu Icons

Removed Touch-Wiz application icon backgrounds

Hey The3DMan:

This is a great theme for the unofficial Tmob Froyo 2.2. I absolutely love it.

I would absolutely love for the Ubuntu app launcher icon and other icons to be created for LauncherPro as I'm a LauncherPro fan, and I'm extremely excited that you stated "the theme is on the way". I am looking forward to this.

Thanks for your hard work and for producing this great theme. I love everything about it.

I sent my imei Number 3 times to tmobile only to recieve the same code back again and again. did i change it while flashing a rom or Odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggzero:
If you received the same code over and over again, that would indicate that it did not change ;)

The SIM unlock code is usually generated based off the IMEI, which is a hardware ID of your phone regardless of software. So the IMEI and the SIM Unlock code should remain the same even when you have flashed a different version of the Android OS.

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?

it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
Hello,

Last night I found available through KIES the firmware update to Froyo, I got JPA from TMN Portugal.

Phone had some problems with my google account, so I did a Factory Reset, everything seemed right after that, phone was real fast, no lag, I finally got rid of that stupid voodoo color fix wich made screen look to darn saturated....

When I tried GPS, it didn't work at all, couldn't get a lock on anything, I left it trying to stablish a connection for several minutes and nothing happened, usually, it wouldn't take more than 30 secs to get my position even with WiFi off.

Phone is working perfectly, only problem now is GPS, can't get it to work. before upgrading to JPA, I had JM8 from TMN Portugal too... and I had great GPS performance.

I have been thinking about flashing to JPO, but I'm really not sure if this will fix GPS.

Anyone here could help out?

Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xen0s:
hey, i am a current Maemo 5 user and untill 2 days ago a iphone user aswell.

i got so sick of the iphone, with it being slow and restricted even after i jail broke it.

anyway 2 days ago i got offered a trade for my iphone 3g 8gb for a HTC Magic (Vodafone) , this is the first time i had ever used the Android OS and i was very impressed with it, so much better than iOS.

So as i am still very much a beginner on this platform i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction on rooting it. I know you probably get this all the time, but i have spent hours on Google and have found a lot of different methods to root it, and i am unsure on which one to take, with so much different information it kinda gets confusing after a while .

so if someone could post a link on a good guide for me to start on and working links for the files needed, that would be most appreciated.

i am fairly technical minded as i successfully Flash/Mod/Hack Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PSP, Iphone and other things....

the info that i think is relevant for which guide i need to follow.

HTC Magic (Vodafone)

Firmware Version : 1.6

Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004

CPLD-10

Vodafone Branded

My main goal for rooting is that i want to remove the Vodafone app and splash screen, and in my experience Generic Firmwares are normally alot better, I heard sumat about using Custom ROMS?

and one question, do i need to back up all the contacts etc before rooting?

Thanks to anyone who helps me, and sorry if i have posted it in the wrong section.
