Can't recommend this phone :(

I was so excited when I first got my Focus. I thought it was such a huge step forward for MS mobile and actually had some chance at being mainstream. Sure it lacked a few features but there was the hope that MS would update the phone quickly. After all, they seemed to have made such phenomenal progress in getting the phone to market, seemed like fixing a few things and adding a few features would be a no-brainer.

Well, here we are 3 months later (Apple released the first update for iPhone 1.0.1 only one month later) and lots of rumors but nothing substantial on the long-awaited update. We'll see cut/paste but it's not at all clear if they will address anything else.

Here in CA we have a law that says we can't talk on the phone unless it's hands free. For the first time since that law was imposed, I've been regularly breaking it. I can't use a handsfree headset. Even the wired one that comes with the phone is so damn inconvenient that by the time I get it going, the caller is long gone. So, seemingly MAJOR features like BT headsets appear to get no notice at all from MS. I've looked through all the threads and there's nothing from MS. They don't even acknowledge the problem.

Looking at the thread from mcraine, I don't see where MS is going to do anything about this. Also, don't see any indication that it's part of any forthcoming updates.

Too bad. I thought this MS had a chance with this phone but they are blowing it big time. Momentum is gone now. If we have to wait another 3 months to get the browser fixed then the phone is destined to be like the Palm Pre. Good phone but can't keep up with the 'big' boys. This horse jumped out of the gate and was looking really good for the first couple of strides but then completely fell down and they are trying to coax it to get up again.

same issue here as well. mine is only a month old. it is not as noticable when sync'd to the car, but still noticable. and as said before more at the beginning of the call. if there were not issues, it would not be M$

Hello, new user to the forum, though I have been lurking for awhile. (Thanks for the info on rooting an Incredible. )

didnt see a subforum for the Merge, but wanted to share some info. Suprised I havent read or heard more about this. Information is from a corporate source.

Take it FWIW......

HTC Merge was pulled due to issues during testing, may not be coming at all. Then a followup that there may be hope: Wont be available until next year, but the goal is to have an LTE chipset if\when it launches.

apparently the decision to pull was made on Wednesday

Hello , is htc dhd right phone for gps spedometer?

what software is best for using on bike?

how fast it updates speed?

is there any app to show max speed and average speed?

is there any app to show 0-100kmh time?

also i would like to ask how to mount it to sportbike(gsxr 1000)

thisone doesnot help.
[Desire HD General] masta1985:
yes there is an app. i use it every time when im going to ride my bike.

The app called VELOX, in the free version you can use all featrues except track recording.
[Desire HD General] c4940:
any more program where i get full screen kmph?
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
How about this ... http://www.motorcycleclothingshop.c...t-magnetic-motorcycle-tank-bag-18-litres.html

You can get it in loads of places but I chose this link as it gives the 'window size'. Just measured and the DHD screen will fit in with space to spare!

There seem to be other 'holders' similar but I've no idea which would be the better one.

[Desire HD General] c4940:
i have steering damper so thisone might not fit also.

i think to buy first on and make custom holder
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
People, please use word "bricked" properly. If your phone turns on, but doesn't boot, then it's not bricked. If your get the exclamation mark, it's not bricked. If you can get into the download mode, it's not bricked.

If you press the power button and know that your phone is charged and get no activity what so ever... yes, this is when your phone is bricked.

Edit: stupid keyboard skips words
[Epic 4G General] civicvx94:
Nice post! Glad someone took time to spell it out for new members
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
From terminology perspective:

Soft Bricked

Bricked or Hard Bricked
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
+1. IMO the Epic is un-brickable since Odin seems to work. The way I see it, the only way I'd ever ACTUALLY brick it is if I dropped it in the toilet!
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
While odin is great (since its what samsung uses) and gives us a lot of recoverability potential...its not "unbrickable"...its rare but not impossible.

Edit: Here is a snip-it from Heimdall (which is a community replacement for odin)

How do Galaxy S phones get bricked when flashing?

Besides the inherent risks like power outs, accidental removal of the USB cable etc. Galaxy S phones appear to be running somewhat unreliable USB control software.

A failure to flash does not automatically equate to a fully bricked phone. However if you’re extremely unlucky and the flash fails whilst transferring the primary boot-loader, secondary boot-loader or params.lfs (all quite small) than you’ve got yourself a paper weight until you can get it repaired via Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] bigdbag:
+1

I was in a panic last night because people were saying DK05 would Brick phones... only to find out it was just a soft-brick to the modem. -___-

If that is the only reason why mods/admins have restricted release to DK05 then I have an issue with them.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Perhaps the restriction has to do with the possibility that the modem was "poisonous"?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nutweevil:
Hi guys!

My gf just got a HTC Magic but i don't know much about this phone so i would like you to give me a few tips. I have a N1 so i'm not a totally newbie to android and the ROMs thing.

I've installed CM6.1 into hers phone. Also i've installed and configured Pershoot kernel with setCPU:

but i'm not liking the battery life of the phone right now. I let it during the night with 64% battery life and in the morning (8h later) it was at 60%. It looked great for me. The problem is that like for each 5min using it 1% of battery drops. It is just not normal! Is it the kernel? Or CM6.1 or...?

So, my real question is: Is there a "combo" of ROM-kernel-radio-cpu-whatEverElse to get a great battery life? Should i stay with CM6.1 or change to a another (based or not in CM6.1)?

Thank you all ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Make a new profile in SetCPU for when the phone's display is off. I use 176mhz max 122mhz min, and 590MHz min/max (performance profile) during the day.

I normally use my phone for ~an hour a day during school and maybe another hour when I'm at home, battery is always around 50% by the end of the day. Which I consider to be fine, I can use it two days without charge but that's a bit of a stretch.

Anywho, radio and SPL combos aren't an issue, forget about them. ROM & kernel is what's important. I don't flash ROMs very often but I'd highly recommend t-mobile's Froyo build, it doesn't contain any bloat, unlike CM and becuse of that seems to perform even better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rdembkowski:
I have ran cm 6.1 rc1 and the battery life is not the greatest. In my opinion cm6.0 stable has better battery life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nutweevil:
I have been in cyanogenmod foruns and i found that more people arent totally happy with cm6.1. Looks like that the last kernel (35.x) has some problems. There i read that the kernel 34.x doesnt have this problem. Im testing that kernel now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nutweevil:
ok guys!

i think i found a way to get cyanogenmod 6.1 working with "good battery" ;)

i only installed ezterry kernel (that i found in this post) and now i get much better battery life.

i believe i will get a steady 3days with with some wifi usage ;)
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Hey guys question am I the only one that hates the market? Why does it take forever to START downloading? Sometimes if I turn wifi off it starts faster. Market is key to android success.... they gonna fix this?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
This is also fixed in DJ05, I recommend switching to LG enV 3. I get tired of hearing how EVERYTHING is wrong with your phone. In all seriousness try to wipe cache in market
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Now that was funny!
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Na same thing..... but I've had this prob with all droid phones not just fascinate
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
As others have told you several times, if your having this many problems you need a dumb phone. I have 2 fascinates and neither have any of the problems you have and if they did I would return them. Market downloads work just fine here. As soon as I click install they start downloading.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
You know what they say about real estate, location-location-location; maybe it's time to move.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yeah. He should move to a different forum. Sorry Sherwood1 we r cool now, but if all Droid phones u have had have this problem, and none of mine( I have owned every android phone that Verizon has made) maybe you need to move on. I sugeested an env3, u don't have to buy it, I will pay you to take and find a enV forum. Send me your fascinate, I will install DJ05 and it will be as good as new. Just trying to help you out.

[7 Mozart General] digger_de:
Hallo,

verwende nun auch ein HTC Mozart und habe eine Dual-Sim Karte für geschäftlich und privat.

Mit meinem "alten" iPhone konnte ich über SIM-Anwendungen wechseln, d.h. zwischen "geschäftliche" oder "private" Nummer der Dual-Sim-Karte einfach wechseln.

Wie sieht das denn nun bei HTC Mozart mit Windows Phone 7 aus? Evtl. Apps für sowas?
[7 Mozart General] heisven:
I'm sure there is no app for such a thing.

But if I'm not wrong, you might be able to change from one carrier to another by switching flightmode on and then off again.

HTC Sync should sync everything, but not sure that it will be able to find your HD2 using Android installed in SD...

HTC Sync does recognise the HD2 running Android. Mine shows up as a Desire as I'm running Desire based android.

Doesn't sync tasks tho.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
You can export all your Outlook info as CSV, then go to your Gmail account and upload everything :P It will show up on your phone later.

Here's info on tasks:

I tried a cwm restore to an earlier point to no avail. This is really bad.

Anyone?

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Fascinate General] fallingup:
Its hidden for a reason. DONT MESS WITH IT, it can break your phone. plus, this should be in the General subforum, not development.

The one way that you might be able to fix it is by flashing the new leak DJ05 i think it is, with the modem and all that. Hidden Menu changes stuff in the radio i believe, so without flashing a stock radio for the fascinate you may not get it fixed.

Odin back to factory
[Fascinate General] Domush:
For those reading this thread because you have also lost data connectivity, I have solved my issue.

By a recommendation from the IRC channel, I activated a different phone (any phone will do, even a dumb phone), waited a while (I waited a day, just to be safe, but I don't think any delay is needed), then reactivated my Fascinate again. Once I rebooted after activation, the data was all back to normal again. No issues.

Hope this helps someone avoid the stress I went through.
[Fascinate General] maxxor:
@lowkee:

Your settings sound like a missing dmu.key or 10.key files. Back when I would flash v3ms to Alltel firmware and reprovision them to Verizon, you absolutely needed to make sure these two files were put back else your data would not work at all.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
I think I may pushed my tweaking too far lol

Basically the calendar grabs the holiday dates fine, but my actual calendar does not get synced. I have checked via google site and the calendar has all the entries.

Also, and I am certain this is related, google mail will try to grab my mails before crashing, but I cannot read the force close message. I *think* it mentions something like googleapps or something, it flsahes up so fast it is almost impossible to read.

Could someone who knows inform me what app needs to be present to enable this?

Thanks you

:edit: forgot to mention, in the phonebook when I goto settings it will crash when I click Accounts and sync. Another irritation is the calendar goes to 1970 when I tell it to show the monthly view.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
OK I am assuming I have removed something. I do have a workaround though, I use the power widget to enable sync, it still craps out but it does sync the calendar.

Far from ideal, but fine for me. I only wanted birthdays and anniversaries from it, other entries are not important as they are generally just work dates that I obviously do not care about after the date has passed.

I am still interested to know what I need to put back. TB has backups of everything, but will only let me put my apps back, any system stuff simply does not have that option. How would I do that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:

Just FYI for anyone looking to get a GTablet it is going on sale again on Thanksgiving Day at Sears for $379.

Not as good as getting it from Sears Outlet for $200-$250 but it's still better then the normal price of $399. If it's worth standing outside on line all morning to save 20 bucks though, well that's up to you :).

http://bfads.net/Sears-Black-Friday-ViewSonic-16GB-10-Android-Tablet

EDIT: Should mention though that for any of us that did pay 399 within 14 days of Thanksgiving Day, we can go in to get a price match.
[G Tablet General] Gajun:
Oh really? Will we get the free case too? Does anyone know if sears usually have a long line during Thanksgiving?
[G Tablet General] johndarner:
Viewsonic G Tablet for $360.99

Also the Sears Thanksgiving ad states that you get an extra 5% off with a Sears card. My math makes that $19 bringing the price down to $360.99. :cool:
[G Tablet General] rushless:
There is stock in Office Depot and Staples that is for sale now. Office Depot has a working demo.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:

Got mine at Sears for $340 if I bought a $50 2-year no questions asked replacement plan. It even includes wear & tear...

They way we are flashing these days is not a bad option... :D Scratch it, crack it, drop it, it is fixed or replaced for free....

Cant' wait for more ROMs to make to the forum. It is an absolute fantastic device with the exception of the crappy wrapper Viewsonic put on 2.2. Knowing the XDA developers now (from owning a Samsung Galaxy S) it would be just a few weeks and we will have plenty of choices....
