Hi there...

I have a HTC G2 T-Mobile version. I bought it off Craigslist, and dumb enough, i forgot to test it. It happens that the digitizer/touchscreen is non-responsive/ not working/broken.

I bought the phone off Craigslist.

The phone is within the 14-day grace period.

The phone was purchased retail from t-mobile, no contract was done.

I don't have the receipt

I have ALL of the contents in the box.

I was not the original buyer, again to emphasize this...

Can i:

1) Go to a t-mobile store and try to talk to them and see if they will replace/exchange for another one?

2) call t-mobile and (do the same as above)

3) (i know i can go though HTC and do that, but its tedious and takes many many days)

4) or do i have to activate the phone as brand new in my account, put insurance and use the insurance to get a replacement?

http://www.getele.com/htc/how-to-turn-off-3g-on-htc-hd2.html

none of them help or they are providing wrong info

the only one that came close was the first one and still they left the job incomplete

i am going to go through it thoroughly so others will know exactly what to look out for

note: this is only for the hd2 to my knowledge, i havent tried this on anything else

all instructions tells the user to go to

conection manager

then

phone (change phone settings)

then scroll down select band

and then tells the user to change band to gsm and select dual band mode

NOT TURNING 3G OFF DAMMIT!!!

the option layout may look like this :

network type

Auto

Gsm

WCDMA

band frequency

Auto

GSM (900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900)

GSM(1900+850)

UMTS(2100+900)

now it matters not which of these you select 3g will still be on as these are only the frequencies used by carriers.

my options may have more because of the version hd2 i have as it is both gsm and cdma not sure if others are like that.

now we dont want these options to be frank so press "cancel" if your there

and then press "menu" where "cancel" was.

press "advanced network" aka 3g frequencies

WOW H.S.D.P.A. A.K.A. H.S.U.P.A. A.K.A. 3G!!!!!! IS ON!!!!

so just turn it off or disable it and it will ask you to restart phone to put this in effect

look at that. its not labeled 3g like other handhelds so be sharp its labeled by its code name, just highlight it and select disable then press ok at top right corner of screen

many people bash hd2 for bad battery life this is not true try this and see how long it lasts. it is even worse if you are not on a 3g network like me here in jamaica, my network only has edge so my hd2 is just constantly searching for 3g because hsdpa is on and that drains battery like rastas smoke weed.

so turn that off if your not using it. ps im switching my carrier to one that has 3g and yes we have 3g in jamaica just not 4g lol only 4g we have available is 4g internet for pc which is lame.

LONG LIVE THE HD2 AND WM6.5 (upgraded from motoq)

upgrading g1 to moto cliq tomorrow

no love for crackberries

no love for you phones

hope this post helped at least one person and hope it soves someones issues
[HD2 General] nicostar:
please post reply and acknowledge if this post helped you THANKS!
[HD2 General] lude219:
thank you for your effort, but theres already a cab to enable/disable 3G on this board...and im sure most people know of the advance network setting, and if they haven't, they do now.

so you have a gsm/cdma hd2? really?
[HD2 General] Smartphoner:
Installed enable/disable 3G

I installed enable/disable 3G icon from a cab called Htc_Hd2_CommManager_3G.cab

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583638

no.49 and 60

working great, and i found that disabling 3G made the battery life better!! when i need mobile internet i switch it back on again.

but the thing is that i don't have a registry editor to do no. 60 step, so the 3g icon substituted the wifi icon not the push mail icon as written. fortunately i have a homescreen icon (quicklink) for wifi from CHT

any ideas how to manage to get back the wifi icon in comm. manger without uninstalling the 3g cab file and hard resetting???
[HD2 General] nicostar:
you sir is the true definition of a sophisticated arse 0, your comment was not needed, its not everyone is going to want a cab file that gives a little widget to turn 3g (HSDPA) on and off, some people preffer to not pack up their registry with junk, plus i asked to leave comment if this post helps you let me repeat

"please post reply and acknowledge if this post helped you THANKS!" obvoiusly this thread is NO help to you so you need not to post just look and pass. your name goes well with your ethicate, lude...hmmm but anyway,

im sorry if you are so super smart and know all this stuff already but for every 1 pro like you who rise 100 n00bs rises and follows there after and for every pro like you who expects everyone to know somewhat the basics and does not help there are replicators like me who try to help others so please next time you post on my threads post something encouraging ya? ya mon. your comment was not a good one neither was it helpful. but thanks anyway.

and i will continue to plague xda forums and try to help the n00bs if their threads is not deemed trash worthy by binary100100 if it is then i cannot help but if it isnt then i shall try. and yes my HD2 HAS GSM AND CDMA! HOO HAA! REALLY!
[HD2 General] lude219:
Cry more. Did someone pissed in your cereal this morning? Recent gf broke up with you for someone else who is a much faster learner?

Maybe you can teach all the noobs here on how to switch from 12hr format to 24hr format. After that, teach them on how to decrease the phone brightness to conserve battery.
[HD2 General] nicostar:
seriously stop flooding my thread with stupid stuff please and thank you, just stop wasting both of our time, just stop. you've nothing good to say then just dont say, just ignore. please be a smart fellow and leave me be.

@OP

XDA, or this thread for that matter do not belong to you. It's not up to you to decide who should post here. Please knock off the attitude. You've been issued an infraction for Rude behavior.

Back on topic people.
[HD2 General] nicostar:
maybe you should try the method as posted first on this thread has NO SIDE EFFECTS like what you're experiencing. but if not i guess you should get a reg editor and start the process properly from scratch to not have any errors like that one.
[HD2 General] huggs:
Yes, the thread topic is a little "beginner level", but really alot of people would probably assume that by disabling 3g in Comm Mgr, that the phone would stop searching for it as well.

But jeez, the guy only said at first that there was a cab available, no need to fly off about it...but

Thanks OP for sharing.:)
[HD2 General] p107r0:
try the attached cab - it's the same cab you used, modified so the 3G settings appears as additional line in Comm manager, not replacing any of existing items

it should work with no problems (works on mine), if not I could provide you with default settings

Hi I am trying to root my HTC Evo it say its the older version can some one please tell me how to root my phone. I have been trying to find out myself but I have had no luck. Can u plz help!! what do I have to do !!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EndlessDissent:
Not to sound like a complete ****, but you must not be trying very hard. Check out the HTC Supersonic (Evo) section. Go to the Android Development subforum, and there are at least 4 or 5 methods to root older Evos. At least one should be within the first three pages.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
yea man, please spend some time reading the evo forums, like at least a few hours.

The easiest way to root, since you obviously dont know much about it, is to to the Unrevoked method. Read about it here, then go to unrevoked.com.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xanderdad:
Tonight, I picked up the official Samsung dock at T-Mobile. It works perfectly as advertised with Obsidian v3. The audio out works, but only while in the Samsung Desk Home app and only while using the stock Music app.

Preferably I'd like to be able to keep music playing out of the 3.5mm jack on the dock at all times, whether I'm in the desk home app or not. I'd also like to be able to use Pandora radio while in the desk home app.

Would these modifications be possible?

Thanks for the help.

Hi to all

Before I had nokia n97 and a sony DR-BT50 Bluetooth headphone which could connect to n97 and my laptop so easy.

after I buy samsung galaxy s I tried to connect the headphone but no way. the phone can not discover the bluetooth headphone

Before i was on Eclair and try it but could not, after I update to Froyo I had hope to make it work but the problem persists.

here are the bluetooth headphone specifications:

Bluetooth® Technology : Bluetooth Version 2.0

Diaphragm : PET

Function : A2DP, AVRCP, HFP (1.0), HSP (Ver. 1.1, Vol. 2, Part K:6)

Interface : A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP

I was wondering if this is a hardware matter or could connect phone to Bt headset by applying some update.

Anyone have any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Pyromaniac84:
Hello! I have dr-bt50 and shw-m110s (korean galaxy). Before froyo i was able to pair devices and translate media to headset. No luck with voice calls though. After froyo pairing is successful too. But when i turn headset off, android forgets about a2dp profile associated with dr-bt50. So i have to unpair device, then pair it again EVERY TIME i want to listen to music or watch a video using headset. This is really sick. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] taha_e:
what is the difference between korean galaxy and other galaxies? why that one can discover DR-BT50 but mine can not? :confused:

Samsung Glaxy S still running eclair and no problems connecting to SE MW600. Picks it up everytime. Are you following the instructions clearly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hiperjp:
I have a MW600 with SGS I9000, I never had any problems (Eclair included).

I'm currently on Froyo 2.2.1 XWJS5. But I have installed all leaked ROMs with no issues too.

I hope to help you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Hi, MW600 works well on my SGS since Éclair. Are you pairing it correctly?

here are the instructions from the user guide:

Pairing the headset with another device

1)Make sure the headset is turned off.

2)Turn on the Bluetooth function in the other device

3)Place the other device within 20 cm (8 inches) of the headset.

4)Press and hold down the power on the headset for about 5 seconds until the pairing indicator appears on the display.

5)In the other device: Search for and add a new device.

6)If a passcode is required, enter 0000.

To reset your MW600

1)Make sure the headset is turned off.

2)Press and hold down the power until the pairing indication appears.

3)Simultaneously press and hold down power & call until the headset turns off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] val5:
Hey, do your mw600 fully functional?, i mean the play/pause button, next/previous song, vol button....

I tried on the store, the only working button is the accept call only, i can hear the songs perfectly...but none of the button function
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Yes, all of the buttons and touch sensitive volume works. Did you try to reset the MW600?

MW600 can pair with 3 devices, maybe during the time that you tested it, your SGS was set as the "calling device" coz usually the first one if it is a phone or mp3 player will be set as the "music source".

You can either reset or manually set your SGS as the "music source" by long pressing the play button and selecting your SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] val5:
Thx

Problem solved by uninstalling 3trd party music player, must using the default player...

Oh yeah, is it safe to charge with the galaxy s charger ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
You don't have to reset the MW600 just to pair with another devise, you just need to power off and long press the power, I posted this, 3 posts above.

I tested this with PowerAMP music player and all the controls work.

I've charged mine using SGS charger and USB but I can't say if it's safe, I'm no expert in that.

I	Swyped this on my Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] taha_e:
It seems that the headset sony DR-BT50 is working on XWJS5 rom but not working on the others such as JVP/JVQ, anyone knows which files are involved for bluetooth so port them from JS5 to JVQ ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] TivAk:
Strange it works on the fly with my set...

It must be something els..

Maybe use a different modem I use the jvo modem

Switch pro will give you a widget and you can set 4 levels of your choosing for brightness
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NewZJ:
put a tinted screen on it, like one of those mirror ones
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shane112358:
Use Tasker.

You can have it turn off auto brightness and then turn the brightness down to 1 automatically at a specific time, or when you plug it in after 9pm, or whatever you want. Then I have it run bedside (or night clock) with a dark red font. Definitely dim enough.

If you are rooted you can also use LED Hack to turn off the charging/notification LEDs. Bedside even has LED Hack integration so you can have it do it for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zzelinka:
What I am saying is that the lowest setting (0 percent) is even too bright. I literally work where there its no external light. A screen cover would would, but something at a software level? I have Switchpro and the brightness is at 0...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calamari85:
Ok, so here is what I have done: I have already rooted my phone, etc, and have flashed some different roms on my phone, and have not had any problems until now. I recently tried the miui rom, but didn't like it.I just flashed the newest miui rom, and it was acting really weird, so I decided to go back to the virtuous rom which I had used before. For whatever reason, I am getting this error: E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exists), and the installation aborts. I did the wipe data deal, and I also tried to reinstall the miui rom. It says that installs fine, but it won't get past the htc incredible screen. Any suggestions? Also, I didn't want to try this and mess things up further, but can I restore a backup I had done when I had the virtuous rom installed, or do I have to have the rom already working properly? Kind of a noob question, I know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
Hmmm... Do you have any Nandroids from earlier roms? That'd be the easiest route.

If not, since you can't even get to a homescreen, you might try an RUU reset, but let's hope it won't come to that for now.

I get that too, but only when going into the menu for Dalvik Cache wiping, and it never actually gets in my way, it just pops up and then I can keep going on about my business.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
1. yes you can restore the backup whether a rom is currently working or not

2. post questions in the correct forum
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
If you can't get a nandroid backup to work, you may have to RUU back to stock.

Here's the older one that will still let you use unrevoked after. Just rename this PB31IMG.zip, load up H-boot, follow the prompts, and be patient. Then run unrevoked when it finishes and install rom manager to restore your backup. If the backup still won't work, try a fresh install of virtuous.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calamari85:
Sorry

My apologies, where should I have posted? And can I move the thread so it is in the correct place?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
Probably in the Q & A General Forum, but don't worry about it this time, just as long as it doesn't end up being a frequent thing. :)

But I don't know about being able to move the thread, I think that's a Moderator power.

Regarding your issue though, either use the RUU link posted above, or try Nandroid-ing back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calamari85:
No go

I tried restoring a backup, and got cannot mount /data, along with the previous error... It changed my boot animation, but has not restored my phone. should I do this RUU back to stock? Sorry for not being very good at this, and I definitely appreciate the help.
