Expansys USA has Unlocked Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 in stock and ready for shipment for 599 and 699 USD respectively..

Edit: They also have almost every other phone from WP7 Unlocked and ships within 3 days..
[Windows Phone 7 General] yly3:
The irony is that although Europe had the first launch 2 weeks in advance it's still under US when it comes to availability. To get my HD7 I surfed 3 weeks like crazy on eBay to get a good deal (eventually made it) and when I asked all my country's carriers about WP7 they were like "What's up with that?!" so going-randomly-in-a-shop-to-pic-a-WP7 will happen mostly in late December/January.

Maybe some sort of "conspiracy" for the Early '11 update ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidedemarchi:
This is the answer from HTC:

Recently you wrote about the release date of HD 6, but here we inform that the terminal should be in business, then I suggest you start to do the check with our resellers: http://www.htc.com/it/ where_to_buy.aspx

FIRST: I wrote about HD7, not HD6...what the hell is the HD6? :eek:

and SECOND: No! I checked all the on-line store (and in some cases I went in the store of my town) and the HD7 is not available....maybe I should ask the HD6? :rolleyes:

It is installed on a class 4 sd card. Anyone has similar issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] kanttii:
Try moving it to your internal memory. If it doesn't help, disable compcache and try again - and after taht if no luck yet, try clearing it's data.

I've not played it in a few weeks since I'm playing with ROMs.. But other people (@CM Forums) have said this helps them a bit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] idinaxui:
The game is buggy itself, the phone is not a reason. I have the same Mytouch 3G, tried a lot of tweaks or methods described in different forums, but no effect, so the game is removed until a normal version comes out :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] shekki:
There is an optimized version somewhere on the xda forums that gets rid of the ads and makes the game somewhat more playable on mytouch. It's being given out by Impaled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] SuperStar1080:
The version Impaled dished out has ads again. The developer asked that he put them back in and he complied. I have the ad free version (b4 Impaled removed it) and my experience with it is the same: laggy and pretty much unplayable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Vonrottes:
I think it has a lot to do with very little ram...

I downloaded the market gersion on my mytouch 1.2 and its laggy but playable.

also using ezterrys kernel with a 614 oc

or better yet like i posted in another thread before. Theres a game called Panda Vs Ninja its literally like Angry birds but runs perfectly smooth! Same gameplay just different characters.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848701
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Caticorn:
Pandas versus Ninjas plays the same as angry birds on my phone. Playable, but slows down during particle effects and heavy physics processing. I have to close everything and turn my clockrate up for it to play perfect.

it would be funny if someone "skinned" it with angry bird textures/sounds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] AndroidKills:
hmmm when i play it , it runs smoothly and barely slows down.

and yeah that would be pretty neat for someone to skin it hahaha :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Caticorn:
I'm very picky when it comes to running games and I will discard a game even if it has slight choppiness. PvN does run better than AB in the like that when it slows down it seems to go into a smooth slo-mo as oppose to AB going into choppy slo-mo, when there is a LOT of physics processing going on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] thesquaredone:
PvN is great on my MT3G 1.2 (rooted w/ Universal Androot and running CM6.1 RC1) and I actually prefer this over Angry Birds, mainly becuase I like the theme. But I would also download if there were an AB skin.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Serris:
For me newest version (1.4.2)of Angry Birds laggs to much, version 1.3.5 is still the best one working
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I have 2 batteries, the red OEM one and a black generic one made it China from Ebay.

It seems like lately, my red OEM one has been getting really poor battery life lately, from ~1.5days to 8-10hrs. I was wondering if, by swapping batteries every time each one dies, am I somehow messing up the "calibration" readings of how much % percentage battery capacity is left?

However, my cheap generic Chinese battery is still consistent and good with ~1 day of capacity.

I also recently upgraded to the most recent Fresh ROM and wonder if that could be causing the issue?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar so I can rule out different causes.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I solved this issue by wiping the battery stats in Amon-Ra. My oem battery is back to normal again.

Such a shame that Android can't handle different capacity batteries effectively.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
stock or not it will reboot. the phone has a hardware issue. warranty it asap.

Still no random shutdowns. As far as exchanging the phone I think I'll hold off for now. Sending it in under warranty will most likely get me a refurbished phone that may or may not have the same or other issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soaa-:
Herro all!

If my research serves me right, HTC has yet to release the source code for the kernel used in the Desire Z. I've tried compiling a kernel from Cyanogen's repo https://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-vision but it doesn't boot. I pulled the config from the stock ROM and disabled some (supposedly) unnecessary drivers so that it would compile.

Does anyone have working kernel sources for Sense ROMs? I hope to make this thread a unified effort to fix the available sources.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
That's odd. It should work on both. My kernel boots fine on the stock sense rom. And if you look at developer.htc.com the only kernel source released is the desire Z, the G2 has the source of all system files
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmk40:
You're probably running into the same issue I did when i started building Vision kernels. The base offset is different for these boot images, it needs to be 0x04000000.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNewGuy:

Is anyone all of the sudden seeing a 3g icon in there status bar or is this a feature of cyanogenmod?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
I noticed this last night. All I get right now is 3G I havent done a speed test yet though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
It's a feature of Cyangenmod. Stock ROM gives H for UMTS (3G) and HSDPA (H) connections. CyanogenMod differentiates between the two.
[G2 and Desire Z General] antonio824:
And u will see bouncing between 3g and H when in an area with HSPA. This is because your phone will only use hspa when it is needed. Stock it does it too but keeps one symbol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Nice guide, thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mik3yZ:
Thank you Mr Q. works like a charm!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarDor:
first of all.. thanks for this great guide. Everything went perfect until I came to the step to lock in root. After the command "/data/local/tmp/root" I get this error:

mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists

when I just ignore it and type sync after that I have no root acces after a reboot.

Does anybody have a solution for it? I have already done a hardreset with the same results.

thanks in advance...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lambstone:
So this only roots your phone? Or does it s-off as well? From what I understand this s-offs as well because you're pushing the hboot as well.

EDIT: Nevermind. I read the thread again and it does indeed s-off as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ssyed:
Everything was fine up until this point. So i restarted the phone and phone is stuck on the "quietly brilliant" screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yelti:
having the same issue here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AnyDone:
So I'm looking into these S-OFF and rooting threads and here is two bricks too. Does anyone have an answer for these two or should I skip this? Did the hboot do this or was it due to some problem in inserted kernel module? (I.E. the reboot of the emmc controller resulted in a ****ed up file system?)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ssyed:
Ok, so I have figured out how to get out of this "quietly brilliant" loop.

First of all, this isn't a brick and all that is needed to fix this is a quick factory reset from the bootloader.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AnyDone:
Ok, so does any one have an explanation why this happened?

1. It wasn't wrong or screwed hboot, otherwise we would be facing a real brick?

Was it the root method? Was it the wpthis-Z.ko?

It might have been the kernel module, but I can't be sure about that with so little knowledge I have. (sure not the module itself but the kick to the emmc?) Just that it seems to be more likely option than a rooting attempt on a cached r-o file system?

I'm not complaining about the guide, it is specific and easy to follow but I would really love to have these semi bricks etc inspected more closely. It is not really helping to encourage ppl to root and try safe-off when we have unexplained bricks and semi-bricks around :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Did you guys run Visionary before trying this "rage" method of rooting ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ssyed:
I don't know about others, but I didn't on mine. I was rooting it for the first time. Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have the Bell version from Canada.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goldenarmZ:
The root script threw an error for me too, so just to be safe I opened the script and typed in the commands manually. If you have problems with the script, just run these commands from the root terminal on your phone:

/data/local/tmp/busybox killall rage

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

mkdir /system/xbin
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/bin

cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

sync

"mkdir /system/xbin" just creates a directory, if it already exists you can ignore this command and proceed.

Hope this helps someone.. Thanks to the OP for the scripts. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Have a quick look, /system/xbin already seems to exist on my phone too.

So is there an error in the script ? e.g. needs to ignore if the directory already exists ? Or am I (we ?) missing something ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Good info, thanks. Perhaps just comment out that line of the script, to save running it all by hand (and therefore be prone to more error ?) ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I did that first.. it threw more errors with the mount commands because I'd already run the script once, so some of the commands were repated. If it's your first run through, commenting it out would be fine.

I only did it line by line so I could see any more errors for myself and decide if they were important. As it turns out the script is very simple and only involves moving files around and changing their permissions.. anything that goes wrong should be immediately apparent even if you have no experience with shell commands. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Thanks, I was starting to worry about the bad experiences outlined above, given that this method appeared to be a more reliable one than VISIONary, and a route I was going to go down. But I'm pretty comfortable with shell scripts, so your input makes me feel a whole lot better ! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarDor:
thanks for this... I will give it a try :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yay, I just perma-rooted my phone using this method, many thanks to those who came up with the method in the first place, plus this handy guide too.

I got the message about /system/xbin already existing, but you can just ignore that message, it runs the rest of the script anyway.

:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buzmay:
So after doing the guide you simply reeboot your phone into bootloader and select factory reset?

And then will the device be perm root and s-off???

i've got a rom from http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Official and while installing i got the customer ID 131 error, so i went and started with the gfree part but it doesn't reset the CID to 11111111, so i rebooted into bootloader and h got the surprise that te ROM i downloaded (ARA) seems upgraded my hboot to HBOOT-0.85.0009 and now i'm back to S-on and seems all the ways here and via visionary isn't working for me to get the S-off again to change the CID from "@CID: HTC__044" to 11111111 so i can install the rom.

any advises?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
I know that if you had the 1.72 rom , you had to downgrade to 1.34 using the psneuter method in order to root, I am not sure if the new 1.83 rom is the same way, but I would have to think so. I would get some other opinions on this before you try this for your 1.83 rom. Also for future refrence remember that if you did not have true radio S-Off via Gfree, and you flash a stock RUU rom it will turn your S back on as it has in your case.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bashar .:
i'm on HTC__404 which isn't listed there

also my phone was rooted and still rooted and it was S-Off before installing the latest rom above but when it reached the customer id 131 error it rebooted and i noticed the hboot was upgraded but the rom wasn't (stayed as it was)

so since i'm rooted i wanted to update the CID to 11111111 so i can install another RRU, i don' think i need to use the psneuter method since i'm rooted right?

the queston is how to go back to S-off so i can update the CID :) since gfree is no longer updates

EDIT: mine is HTC__044 not HTC__404
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bashar .:
nevermind, i did Goldcard and was able to bypass the customer ID error 131

now time for me to re-root things on the new ROM :)

Indeed, the people have to be aware that this is only for the Desire Z (HTC).

The wpthis-Z.ko from this thread will not work on the T-Mobile G2, and I am not sure if it works on the version of Bell.

Like mentioned before, the 'error' of /system/xbin, File Exists does not affect the rest of the script. This is more like a warning but the script will just continue.

What error message did you get from the "insmod" bit ? You need to get exactly the same error message as it shows in the instructions, or it's not working.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I was only clutching at straws really. The rage method of rooting seems pretty reliable and foolproof (unlike Visionary, which a lot of people seem to have problems with anyway). As long as you typed all the commands correctly and followed the instructions exactly, if then it didn't stick, then I think you almost certainly have the same problem as that thread I directed you to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
First off, my apologies if this comes across noobish....as it probably is :rolleyes:

I followed that guide to the tee, or so I thought.

Tried the Perm Root and once I finished, I then rebooted device & opened terminal emulator. I then typeed 'su' I got "access denied" instead of a prompt asking you to grant permissions

When I open emulator is says at top:

export PATH =/data/local/bin:$PATH :confused: :confused:

I did however complete the temp root beforehand so this should still be enough to flash a custom rom?

It's funny how swapping from wm to android makes you feel like a noob all over again :rolleyes: (quickly hides in the corner from all the scorn!!!)

p.s. I am actively reading up on Android so hopefully my noobishness will be short lived :o
