[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
But It's not nearly as fun to open! Gift cards suck as presents.

I wouldn't worry about getting stuck with two contracts, I've ported plenty of numbers to Sprint, no biggie. Just make sure her other account isn't still under contract so you wont have any ETF's. You will have to have some information ready before you can port, just her account #, passcode, etc for her existing line.

Also, you could just add a line to your plan to save some money. If you have to later, for whatever reason, you can remove her from your plan as long as she takes the number to another contract. I had to do that before, wasn't a problem.

And, there's a deal on cellulardeal.com for $140 Evo's, Just bought one for my girl yesterday, cause Amazon doesn't support contract renewals for Sprint yet, and she was getting tired of the Hero.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
She's passed her contract with TMo, so we're good there. Honestly, I'm more worried about her making the switch herself and buying the phone before Xmas rolls around.

Hey, as long as I can buy the phone (with a new number on a separate individual contract), wrap it up, have her open it, port her number and transfer the contract to her so she's the sole owner of it...then I think we're good.

**off topic...wow I can renew my contract and pickup a brand new EVO? That's obscene! I might as well do that and then sell it on ebay for $400 and net a tasty little profit. (I bought my original EVO unsubsidized, and since I'm a premier member, I hit my 1 year mark for getting a new phone just recently). Wonder if I can utilize my full coverage warranty on my current EVO and get it cleaned up and scratch freed while I'm at it.
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
Funny, I'm just about to do the same thing with mine. Got another one coming in a few weeks, probably going on ebay. Gonna go see what the Sprint store can do for my over worn screen first though. I got lucky with my first Evo, I had the Best Buy insurance on my Hero, well when it got broken, they were out of Hero's and gave me an Evo. So I never had to use my upgrade to get it. :D
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I used this line to gain access to my mom's account long enough to get her into a new phone for Christmas:

"OK, I was checking, I can get you on my work discount as soon as you add me as an authorized user."

After that:

-Buy new phone, activate long enough to set up, then switch back to original phone.

-Helped her "lose" her phone.

-Loaned her an OLD beater of mine.

-Christmas morning, dip beater in water and freeze. (to ensure it doesn't work...she didn't know it got frozen, but she knew she couldn't get a new one that day).

-Have sister call my phone to complain she can't get mom to answer and talk to her.

-Turn on new phone, start calling repeatedly while present opening is going on.

Modify as needed for a GF. It's a fun gift, well worth the work to go all out.
[EVO 4G General] ggrimstad:
go to wireflyfriends dot com. They have been around for a while, the regular wirefly site has it for 149 but adding friends in the url send you to a section with special pricingI just got my EVO from them for $119 with free shipping. You need to talk to them though about starting a new number and then porting one over after a months time. If you purchase online and select to port the number they will automatically port it within 5 days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chargerdude70:
Ok...can someone clairify these directories for me? Viewed from ASTRO

/sdcard is root directory...../sdcard/sd is my external card?...So what is sdcard/external_sd used for?

Also...what is the directory "/mnt" for?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparker366:
/sdcard is the root correct

/sdcard/sd is the external sd card on 2.1

/sdcard/external_sd is the external sd on 2.2

/mnt is probably used when you connect your phone to the comp this is the mount point the computer sees ** someone correct me if I am wrong **
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I installed the original Froyo leak, and /mnt had the SD card under it:

/mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd are the new locations for internal and external SD card respectively
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chargerdude70:
thanks guys...that explains why I saw it one way and then another after going back to stock....I was running COG 2.4 and have been having many shutdown issues...no forced closes...just power shutdowns....decided to go to stock and see if that was my problem...havent had one since...now I am going to start flashing again...

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Ice dream angel:
Does anyone know if any ebook reader cases fit with the samsung, other than there's no camera hole? I need a cheep case, I can't afford to pay 70 for a real samsung Tab case.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] TainT:
Wallmart kindle cases fit nicely. I looked today.

Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Jyveafk:
Nook cases appear to /mostly/ fit, though the bottom holding area needs to be trimmed back to expose the buttons.

The port at the bottom's accessible, the top elastic ties appear to hold it well. Lose the camera port, but meh, doesn't worry me at all about that. But the feel of the leather is great, and there's a bit of room for business cards (or more likely sim card holders/SDcards) and I can clip my bluetooth headset around the top elastic band things (what IS the right word for them?) and it all holds together nicely.

It's got some quote on the front, but maybe I should have got it blank and carefully wrote in using a Gold Ink Pen thing 'Holy Knowledge" in uber gothic script.

So far, so good. Shame I had to hack at it a bit, but I think it was worth it.

I'll pop up a picture later if I can wrestle it back off the GF (curse you Angry Birds)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] daniel.weck:
HaHa :p

Sounds familiar :D
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] jdm_cars:
Same here, wife can't put it down.

btw, I got the Griffin neoprene case with the white faux fur lining from Walmart for 16 bucks after tax fits great!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] peestandingup:
Yeah, this is the one I got too & it fits perfect. I also like the fact that it has a flap instead of a zipper. I turn the Tab upsidedown & tuck the flap behind, leaving the Tab's speakers exposed so I can hear any calls or notifications I get while Im on the go.

I'll post some pics when I get home.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] geekaren:
Thanks for posting this! After seeing your post, I went over to Best Buy and picked up an m-edge kindle case. Fits the Tab perfectly!

I have tried many custom roms but always keep getting freezes or issues loading sense.

The main reason i looked into custom roms was to improve reliabilty of android but now it seem android is more stable that windows. and since trying different windows roms now i cant seem to get my version of android to boot altogether.

tried formatting sd card, task 29 before flashes just seems hopeless

p.s fed up of nearly finishing angry birds then having to reinstall
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
popping the battery out about 10 times a day this is a piss take

using energy rom either loads up straight to the lock screen and freezes, just keeps saying loading sense but doesnt, just says htc but doesnt load anything or occasionally half load sense but all messed up or randomly freezes or SLEEP OF DEATH.

what the hell is going on?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvlesz:
Did you try stock ROMs ? .. remove HSPL and try 3.14 .. they say it has some problem, but trust nobody and try it for yourself .. " Nothing is better than the original " :D

FYI, it isn't all about the ROM. For me, Android ran best in 3.14 ROM but i flashed energy cuz I use winmo much often ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
how do you remove hspl? its not just an energy rom issue because i tried another rom and this keeps happening. just doesnt make any sense just keeps repeatedly crashing, why??

As funny as it might sound have you ever changed your radio? I know some radios will cause all sorts of issues with certain ROMs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
yeah i was on radio 15 and also tried 12 and its still freezing. tried using the phone without the sd card to see if thats causing any issue and is still freezing. only recently started to do this tho.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
back on official rom now and no problem so why was there such much freezing on custom roms?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberSniper:
I had exactly the same problem. I never installed any custom roms until I upgraded to the stock 3.14 and then onto Artemis recently and all of them just hang at bootup or randomly. Maybe its an issue with the newest official ROM?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Send a text message to 9999. For the message, type "block" (no quotes) space, then the four digit number you recieve. (9016, etc.)

This also works for blocking people from texting you. Just put their TEN digit number where you put the original 4 numbers. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
I have tried this and while it does block the voicemail texts from being received by your phone it also blocks your voicemail application (if you installed it, from working) Presumably the voicemail app needs those texts to know to go download the voicemail. As a result with 9016 blocked I get zero notification of voicemails.

Still it's an extremely useful tip for blocking txts and perhaps a non-sprint voicemail app.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
I cannot stand vvm, just because it messes with the text messages. And it is a pain in the ass to delete them one by one. I would rather call my voicemail, rather than get bombed by the voicemail app lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mulhiny:
So if you do this and don't use VVM do you simply get a notice to call your voicemail upon receiving one? Also, can it be reverted?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
There is a solution to automatically remove the SMS messages, so you can use visual voicemail with no compromises or annoyances

Download super private conversation from the market and block that text 9016 takes care of problem works perfectly

I mean blacklist that text 9016
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dj21o:
Thats a good idea. But i blocked it and love it lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Fyoolie:
Redlist is a much "lighter" application. I put the 9016 number in the blacklist and made sure Redlist notifications are turned off. That way I can use the stock messaging, instead of Handcent, or downloading spc.

Redlist's free version does exactly what you need it to do, just limits how many can be in your list.

[Hero CDMA General] Sina702:
Isn't there a blacklisting feature of phone numbers in CyanognMOD? And could this be used to block 9016, etc... and still have working Sprint VVM?

[Vibrant General] oka1:
When you really get your phone wet or any other electronic device Here is a Method to address the unfortunate event :

1. Immediately remove the battery

2. Use something soft and absorbent and dry the excess water (or whatever) by daubing Not Rubbing

3. Immerse (if you really dropped into say into a sink of water) In alcohol

The best alcohol is optical alcohol (pure drinking alcohol 200proof) or at least 91% rubbing alcohol

The alcohol will bind to the water molecules and prevent corrosion leave for at least an hour to several hours (your determination depending on the flood event)

Daub dry and then use a fan to blow dry (if you use a hair dryer keep surface temp not over 105F) We make a small tunnel for the phone and blow dry no heat for 1 hr +/- once you know the item is completely dry

Then reassemble and try.

I have had many flooded cameras due to underwater housings flooding (scuba diving usually 70-100 ft) success rate for this method somewhere in the 70% range

for underwater cameras the housing have gotten pretty good now, so we have had not had to do this in years but, in a ten year period between the late 80's the 90's we did this treatment at least 35-40 times over 5000 collective dives. So I know this can be effective. Remember, the key is to get the battery out as fast as possible and then start the process. hope this helps

JJ is 2010 October build.

[Captivate General] AndroidSPCS:
I have had no luck getting my Vibrant to work with my T-mobile blackberry plan. Phone works, but no data.

If I get a Captivate, unlock it, will it work with T-mobile's blackberry plan for data?

I don't care if it's just 2g and not 3g, I just want data... :o
[Captivate General] Nimocone:
I was told by AT&T that it wouldn't work because the data is provisioned differently. I wanted to keep my Bold 9000 for work and the Captivate for all other times and couldn't do it. I'll have to assume that T-Mobile also provisions their data differently.
[Captivate General] bash_array:
At&t 3G runs off a completely different radio frequency so an at&t phone wont work on T-Mobile 3g. It will work with 2g and data provisions have nothing to do with it. Still a GSM network. Just get your unlock code for your sim and switch away
[Captivate General] baseballfanz:
An unlocked Captivate will work on Tmobile but you will only get Edge for data.

There is a big draw back as these phone were never design with anythin less than 3G in mind. When ever I was using data (edge) all my voice call went straith to voice mail with no indications of any missed calls.

With Wifi it's fine. Even peoples with AT&T 3G have these problems when they travel to an area with only 2G coverage. Even a person in India told me the same thing with his Galaxy S.
[Captivate General] johnny13oi:
Yeah with edge you cannot talk and use data at the same time. That's why when you're using data it will not allow calls to go through until the data stops transferring.

Good day, I

just want to know a little bit about this process of porting Android onto Windows Mobile phones. I am completely new here. Why does it have to be OMAP850 devices that work? I dont quite understand why porting to Android works for HTC Excalibur but does not work on the HTC Maple when the Excalibur is an older phone. Is there anyone who can either point me to where i can get some more detailed reading into it or explain to me because i wish to replace Windows Mobile on my HTC Maple with Android.

Thanking you in advance for any assistance,

I followed method two from the two ways to sync and worked just fine. I kind of like getting away from Outlook anyway.

The problem I have is my company isn't running Exchange so for me to get my calendar and contacts I need a way to sync with Outlook.

I've tried Hotmail Connector and it works well for a one time sync but if you have a lot of changes to your calendar I have to make the changes in Outlook and Hotmail.

I refuse to pay $40 for something that should work out of the box.

[HD7 General] MarkAtHome:
Unfortunately, both are cloud solutions, which are unacceptable to me for both security and privacy.

If the WM7 device were seen as an external storage device (apparently doable via the registry), does anyone know whether this could faciliate a direct USB sync with Outlook 2010 32-bit?
[HD7 General] Poppapete:
Both solutions are OK for a one off copy of Calender & Contacts but do not perform a true contniuous Sync with Outlook and do not handle TASKS
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
if you are not ready to play with the cloud, I don't think wp7 is for you. They seem very serious about making the cloud an integral part of the OS going forward.

Is there no place like WinMo6.5x like "Microsoft My Phone" ?

[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
no microsoft myphone. All syncing goes through your live email address (like hotmail). For me, I had all my contact info on gmail because of playing on android with my hd2.

1. Logged into hotmail

2. clicked on import contacts under the contacts view

3. Clicked on gmail and followed the instructions

Took about 10 minutes.

For outlook I'm pretty sure you can do something similar, though I think you might need outlook connector from the marketplace to bridge it over from outlook to hotmail. You will only have to do this once, but then I guess your outlook will not be a syncable acct on you phone.

Just looked on my hotmail and it says to export your outlook contacts to a file that you can then upload to hotmail.
[HD7 General] Rudios:
I'm a Windows Mobile User for 2 years now (SE Xperia X1) and loved the way I can sync it with outlook.

I have all my contacts (approx 500) in outlook and also use the calendar (+5000 items)

I've spent some time in the past to get the info on my contacts straight and I'm very disappointed about the lack of synchronisation options between WP7 and outlook.

Why does everything needs to be cloud-based.

I don't sync every day, but neither use outlook on everyday basis.

I never experienced syncing problems on either calender/notes/contacts or mail.

I have read something about features that will be added in the near future into WP7 and hope that local outlook synchronisation is one of them.
