In a way you are right, plastic can be fine. The difference is what you do with the plastic. Glossy plastic only looks good when it's polished free of fingerprints etc. and it feels cheap to many of us. If you have an N1 or for that matter most of the other newer HTC phones you will know that it has a coating which gives it protection from fingerprints, better grip and overall a more expensive feel. That makes a huge difference. Also, a phone using too much plastic risk getting too light which also makes it feel cheap.

I'm pretty sure the above is the complaints most of us complaining has.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skillfullorange:
Hi, I went from Orange UK 1.6 to Nordic 2.1, this worked fine and had no problems, but i tried to the root and change the numbers to get to UK generic 2.1, and now USB does not work correctly, on the phone no option to mount comes up any more,

Also im not sure if it is uk, the numbers are right, the apps that came with it are Supernytt and UEFA.com

Also when I look at the status it says charging (AC), so i have no way getting on SUES, my SD card to copy files on or enter flash mode,Do you know how i can fix this? It is really starting to annoy me. Cant find an answer to this anywhere, I have tried formatting device, re rooting and checking if the numbers are correct and tried on a different computer.

Thanks Tristan.

So is snapv7.6 bfs with snapturbo only compatible with CM6 or 6.1?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kraenesk:
CM6.0, It causes issues with CM6.1 because 7.6 is based on the .32 Kernal, and CM6.1 is based on a newer Kernel, so when you turn on turbo you will have some wierd bugs, bluetooth wont work, and a lot of people get stuck at white HTC screen.

Is it possible to mod the default messaging app? Im looking to start a theme and would like to give the default app an overhaul. FYI, i hate chomp and handcent haha .
[Fascinate General] mindtrip1016:
In the Deodex ROM, version 1.1 I believe, he uses a black background and white text with different gradients of black and gray to divide up the conversation. It looks slick. I have no Chomp or Handcent anywhere on my device, so I assume its a themed version of the stock app.
[Desire General] key-seven:
After selling my iPhone 3GS I bought a HTC desire because I really like Android.

Sense is well done but the sense player gives an awful sound quality through the speaker. Really. I get headaches and a strange feeling in my ears when listening music using the desire/sense mp3 player/speaker. The iPhone 3GS player/speaker sound was way better I think. Any ideas what to do? Google search and forum search were not very helpful this time. By the way: I own a HTC HD2, and it seems to me like the speaker sound is bad too. Is HTC using low quality hardware speakers? I thought HTC is some kind of high end stuff.

I would be glad to get some kind and helpful replies.
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Don't use the internal speaker for music playback. Buy yourself a decent pair of headphones or buy a small active speaker. You won't look back...

Everytime i tell it too boot into recovery it just shows the little android guy with a triangle and exclamation and then reboots. I've installed bootstrap and run clockwork recovery. What am i doing wrong? last time i did this and was able to manually go into recovery but when i flashed a rom i just got stuck at motorola bootscreen and had to use sbf. Please enlighten me someone.
[Droid X General] boredmug:
Ok.. i tried skipping clockwork and just booted into recovery through bootstrap.. Works. I try and flash a rom and the orange bar comes up and says it's installing. The bar never fully goes across but it says the installation is complete. When i try and reboot to try the rom i get stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas what is going on?
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
are you using 2.2? what ROM? you need to run the bootstrap once for it to work, and it will say clockworkmod installed is version 2.5.0.7 in ROMManager thats the bootstrapped version of clockwork mod.

then download the ROM, and don't touch anything after you hit the ok button on the screen that asks to backup current ROM and wipe user data. just let it work.
[Droid X General] boredmug:
The system info says 2.1update1. I did as you described. I just used bootstrap to boot to recovery and tried flashing a rom and it does the same thing. Just sits at the motorola bootscreen. I'm gunna try my nandroid recovery to go back to the rooted stock rom.. I really don't know what to do from here though because neither way is working for me.

Also, my clockworkMod Recovery is v2.5.0.6 not .7. Maybe this is the issue? when i used rom recovery it said i had the most recent version. I'm Nandroiding right now which seems to be working.
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
you should update to version 2.2

check http://rootzwiki.com/ it has the files you'll need
[Droid X General] boredmug:
ok. Thanks. Maybe this is the problem? I'm trying to flash a 2.2 rom and currently have 2.1 on my phone? So i've already done sbf back to 2.1 once last night. I'm assuming this procedure is pretty much the same. I'm guessing i will have to reroot my phone. Can i use the same method as 2.1 or is there another method for the droid x with 2.2? Thanks for the help!
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
just check the website i posted, it has guides for everything you need
[Droid X General] boredmug:
well.. Now i have 2.2 on my phone but no root. adb can't find my phone.. WTF
[Droid X General] boredmug:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Was finally able to get it all working. Now I have a working 2.2 custom Rom and can proceed with flashing this thing to cricket. Kinda sucks because I'm doing all this for a friend and using this phone I've kinda come to the conclusion that its a better made phone than my evo. Colors look better on the lcd, camera takes better pictures and the aluminum case is certainly nice too. Only drawback I see is the dev. Much more development for the evo, but then again it is an older phone.
[Droid X General] davisbs999:
I like my DX and it does have a few advantages over the EVO (e.g. battery life and build quality). However, I would gladly trade it for an EVO, since that device has 4G access, a front camera, cyanogenmod support, more accessible bootloader, etc.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tankmorph:
WiFi and USB tethering are built into Froyo, and are available to use since the OTA. Just look under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot. Good luck using any tethering now that T-Mobile is charging for it. Check the other thread under General for details about that.

Why would any tethering app be "liable" for anything? Lmfao
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xomikronx:
For Wired Tethering, I had to download the HTC usb drivers. you can google it.

Use the 32 or 64 bit depending on your OS.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dsil711:
So now that they charge for tethering are we going to be charged for using this app? Since the phone does not come with the wireless tether app I would assume not. Does anybody know for sure?

What really pisses me off is that T-Mobile would charge an additional fee for using the tethering, I mean come on? The internet is already $30 bucks a month and when you tether the internet the speeds are not that fast. Plus you cannot tether your Xbox 360 or PS3 to play online games. I call it BS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chalkiex:
Hi All,

Before anyone goes off on one... I am a complete noob, I was advised to come on here and get an Android version to run on my HD2.

The previous owner had put cookies version of the OS on the device, it's great but I would really like to see Android running on this machine.

The problem I'm having is that I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing.

I've downloaded /showthread.php?t=780525 and formatted the sd card (16gig) added the android folder as instructed, tapped the CLRCAD and then tap the HaRET where it loads a black screen with 9 of lines of code and then just hangs there, I've left it for a few hours and nothing, no changes just those couple of lines of code, battery is fully charged.

code looks like this:

HaRET boot

shutting down hardware

turning off MNU...

In preloader

etc etc

9 lines of code... that's it.

I've also tried putting the data.img file in the android folder and outside the folder and not present at all.

The unit is a UK T-mobile.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

.. typically, later the better (like, mine is 2.15.xx). But often, it's just finding the one that works best for you, which can be a case of trial and error sometimes.

I'd also recommend getting rid of stock ROM flashing a WinMo ROM fit for purpose with it's own inbuilt Android booter - try this one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774417

Flashing a radio is the exact same as flashing a rom (presume you know how to do this).

Hi,

I think I've cracked it with the excellent help from the board members... nice one.

Process I used was:

1. Install HSPL3_pkg.zip

2. update the Radio and ROM as per the above post

3. Transfer the MDJ files to SD card

4. Install as per the MDJ instructions... took about ten minutes and bingo

HD2 running Android and looking very sweet indeed... at last an HD2 that I can honestly say I am pleased to own.

Great work to everyone involved.

First of all; is this possible?

What I have done so far is extracted both of the factoryfs.rfs so I have all the content of those roms. Then I tried to install Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from I9000XWJP6 rom to my phone containing Eugene 2E JK2 Froyo but that ended with swype stop working... :/

I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction or give me a couple of howto links.

Okay, so I installed the hardware unlock update.zip but flashed eugene's unofficial jk2 which removed it. Unfortunately, it is now bricked as well, no voodoo or anything, have no idea what went wrong. Can I send this to tmobile on account that I had a hardware locked phone for replacement in this state?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andROIDS:
Have you tried Odin yet? That has saved my ass when I bricked my phone. Vibrants are pretty tough. I'm sure you can fix it without getting a replacement.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
Yeah, I had a ROM break recovery, but you're good as long as download mode still works. Give it a shot. My method is to remove the batt, plug in the cable, hold down both volume buttons and pop in the battery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
How can you check to see if your particular Vibrant is hardware locked?

I just bought one (after migrating from the HD2) and I'm trying to wrap my head around all the new flash tools, etc. Android seems much more complicated than Windows Mobile via HSPL.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
Hardware locked means the hardware doesn't respond at all. I've never heard of any genuine case of someone getting their Vibrant hardware locked except developers. Even then it is EXTREMELY rare.

Most people end up with their phone going into a bootloop which can be fixed by reflashing a rom in recovery or restoring through Odin.

The rest are "soft bricked" meaning they have no recovery or boot. General this is caused by people flashing non-voodoo roms/kernels on top of a voodoo-enabled kernel or flashing a 2.1 nandroid on a 2.2 rom/kernel. In this case you can still get into download mode (hold both volume buttons then plug in usb cable) and restore through odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
hardware locked is referring to vibrants that cannot go into Recovery Mode, or Download using the volume, and power buttons.

To test this, Turn off your phone completely.

Then PRESS AND HOLD BOTH VOLUME KEYS ALONG WITH THE POWER BUTTON

it will boot up, it will give you the normal VIBRANT samsung screen, wait a while, the screen turns black, thats when you SHOULD let go of all buttons, but if you don't no worries, keep holding it, and it'll go back to vibrant and samsung screen and let go this time.

If this doesn't work the first time, then try it a few more times, you may just be doing it wrong and not having the hardware locked.

(i would actually pay a dev 'decent' money to make something like this, needs to communicate with a BT RS-232 serial adapter, and the software can probably be ported from the OpenSource Linux program)

but in the realm of things that more than ~50 people will use... (thousands if it worked on any android device)

a VNC client with a small section of the screen dedicated to a trackpad with left and right click buttons and the ability to customize a small handful of keyboard buttons that are always available would be nice...

I've got a couple of suggestions for apps for the senior people at Samsung.

#1 How about an Android Market app for Galaxy Tabs sold in Dubai. Or a massive warning on the box that it doesn't come with Android Market, despite the press release for Galaxy Tab not indicating that Android Market is market specific and the Samsung UAE website showing photos of the Android Market icon on the Galaxy Tab:

http://www.samsung.com/ae/flash/p2main/low/main_KV_low_01.jpg

http://www.samsung.com/ae/system/consumer/product/2010/10/24/gt_p1000cwaxsg/5_01.jpg

#2 How about an augmented reality system. Kind of like that one described on the Samsung UAE website at http://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/...XSG/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=feature, but that can't be installed because it the requires Android Market app.

Those would be two ideal apps for Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:

I'd like a nice app for google books, specifically the 'my library' part. There are a number of good book manager apps in the market, but none of them sync or integrate with google books. Then there's one or two apps that do sync with google books, but they don't have the other functionality I'm looking for.

What it needs to do is:

Sync with Google Books, not just the full book list, but individual shelves, please.

ISBN/ISSN search, from keyboard or barcode scan (maybe even integrate google goggles to recognize the cover)

Maybe a cover search.

Text search inside books (can just pipe the results from google books)

If it has a nice UI, even better, but that's not the top priority IMHO.

[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I don't think it's that simple - at least not for CDMA devices.

I can only see that the carriers who have decided that this Tab can't be used as a phone, and have forced Samsung into this. Quite why they've decided this, I've no idea, but since I suppose that they feel that since the iPad can't have voice, the Tab doesn't need it either.

I suppose Samsung could release a network unlocked GSM Tab which supports both TMo and AT&T frequencies, but if they do this they may alienate the carriers who then won't carry Samsungs smartphone range, which let's face facts, is the bread and butter of their mobile business.

What you really need to be doing is boycotting the Tab in the US until the carriers see sense and allow you to use them as a phone.

We may pay more for our Tabs without a contract over here in the UK, but at least they are fully functional!

Dave
