[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanito05:
hey bro.. I read from one topic in TMo's official G2 forum that the G2 will work on a country with only a UMTS band of 2100 both for up and down (the answer is from TMo employee, an engineer)... hope you'll be enlightened. I bought an unlocked G2 and I researched extensively before purchase. Im from the Philippines which only supports the 2100 band for 3G. I Know and Im 100% positive that the phone will support the 3G band here in my country. cant wait for my G2 (arriving tomorrow) :)

btw... coverage is vital. if the 3G signal is weak or non-existent in your area, you'll be switched to edge for data on your phone (naturally).. good luck

sorry.. cant post the link. would've loved to have posted it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
That's the Band I thing that I was talking about, that T-Mo shows on their spec sheets (but HTC doesn't seem to list, for some reason).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanito05:
I think the G2 will do 3G if any one of the two bands are supported by the country. Correct me if Im wrong :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
There is nowhere in the world that uses 2100 in both directions. Band 1 is 1900 UP, 2100 DOWN.

In all cases, your phone must be able to upload on the frequencies that the towers listen on, and download on the frequencies that the towers transmit on.

I.e., north america vision transmits on 1700 or 1900, receives on 2100.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
I don't really know anything about this, but I know over in the Samsung Vibrant forum, they verified that the T-Mobile phone works on AT&T 3G because the Vibrant worked on ONE of the two AT&T frequencies. (The Vibrant has 3 #G bands) Someone then posted this was possible because AT&T uses both of their two frequencies for uplink and downlink, while T-Mobile uses one for up and one for down.

Don't know how true all of this is, but it was verified that 3G speeds up and down were available on AT&T in the US with just one of the two carrier bands available on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I could be wrong on this, but I believe that AT&T in the US use Band II (1900) and Band V (850). I really don't see how a phone which uses only T-Mobile's band (Band IV) could work on AT&T's bands. Surely that phone must have had other bands on it, i.e. at least one of AT&T's bands ? You say the Vibrant has 3 x 3G bands, if I'm understanding correctly ?

Edit - just did a quick Google, and it looks like the Vibrant has Band II, so it would work in those areas of AT&T that use Band II (but not those AT&T areas that use Band V).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomaly:
ATT uses 2 band groups as stevie said. Once the phone supports one of those band groups and that particular band is available in an area it will work. AT&T does not provide both in all areas. Some areas only have band V or only band II.

T-Mobile uses one band.. AWS (band IV) the numbers you see, 1700/2100 are upload and download frequencies. AWS radios have to use both.

Band I, which is used in much of europe, is actually around 1900 up and 2100 down. It is just generally referred to as 2100.

The G2 apparently supports band IV and band I and thus will work in europe...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mode_ss:
Why would you need to, the phone would use the 2100 band for it's 3G in your country? I took mine to Russia and it worked fine.

I think you did missunderstand me, my friend... I know the phone works on 2100 bands, but here on my country, all the providers have their 3g bands on 900 / 2100! and the phone comes with its default 1700 / 2100... The phone only works on EDGE, no 3g... and someone told me that in some phones, radios can be configured (or flashed) to work on your desired bands for 3g!!

I hope this can be done for the g2... I hate EDGE's slow speeds :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It's not possible, it's set in hardware. Sell your G2 while it's still new and you can get good money for it. Then buy a European Desire Z (not the North American version).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mode_ss:
exactly!! "steviewevie " has a jackspotted! I need to make my G2 to operate on Band I (2100) and Band VIII (900) for 3G instead of G2's default, which is "Band IV" (1700/2100 split)....

My question is if anyone knows if this can be done... flashing the 3g antenna to work simmilar to Desire Z, which works on Band 1... Someone told me that this is rare, but can be done! some users here have done it to other HTC phones...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
There is nothing you need to do!

Vision/tmobile DOES work on band I (1900 up, 2100 down).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
This thread has got very confusing, but I think that the OP needs a phone that supports Band VIII (900). Although the G2 does support Band I, I don't think that he has those frequencies, at least perhaps not in his area ?

mode_ss, can you clarify ? You're in the Dominican Republic, right ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binarypower:
Very confusing. Reminds me of a phone I bought in Germany on vacation. I returned to the states and the phone barely got signal on Tmobile and did not work at all on ATT. That was years ago and now I could give a flying **** about voice. I just need a solid 3g or 4g connection internationally. I can use sip or skype for voice. I just need the data please!

So, I see the phone is a "quad band" but it appears thats only for voice :mad: When I purchased this phone I just assumed when I read that it covered all those bands I would have no troubles anywhere in Europe. Have you ever pulled up maps over EDGE??? You could ask a 90 year old Norwegian grandmother who speaks no english and get faster results.

I thought 4G/LTE was supposed to end all this band nonsense. Why can't we just pick 1 world wide standard??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You'll be ok for 2G data (e.g. EDGE), the problem is with 3G data, and you'll need the right phone with the right bands set in hardware.

No idea about the LTE, but bear in mind that the G2's supposed "4G" (according to T-Mo) is in fact not 4G at all, it's 3G (HSPA+) :rolleyes:

Where can you download this from? If I try from the creator it says I need to do it from my phone but my phone wont see it from the market...can someone provide the APK?
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
Just wondering, i pushed a bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ but when the phone boots up, just same old animation.

Also noticed that there is a bootanimation.zip folder in /system/customize/resource/, would this not be the place to put the bootanimation.zip?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I always use root explorer to push the bootanimation and audio file...

Using the computer boot up animation at the moment..
[Desire HD General] FitzysN6:
The one that my phone uses is in /system/customize/resource/, but no matter what I try I cant get the /system/ folder to be rw ?

I am per-rooted, S-OFF, reinstall Root Explorer etc. Nothing seems to work for me
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
What is root explorer and where abouts do you push the bootanimation.zip too? thanks

There are some command line tools you can use to mount and make it read and write instead of rea only, i dont know them though :(
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
Normally you will need to navigate to /system in Root Explorer, then click the 'Mount R/W' button at top right to mount the system partition as read / write, after which root explorer will be able to write new files to it.
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Your boot animation might be in a different folder. Try data/local or like you said system/customize/resource
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
I know where it is, ive seen it in system/customize/resource but ive read guides of people telling me to put it in system/media which didnt work unless im doing something wrong.

Edit: Also i dont see a bootanimation.zip in data/local
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
I had the same problem to switch to r-w... You need to use the latest version of root explorer...go download the latest version...
[Windows Phone 7 General] greener88:
I just picked up a wp7 over the weekend.

I'm coming form an Android phone, so I had been using gmail to manage all my contacts. I decided to import my contacts into Windows Live so they would sync to my device. For some reason when importing from google, all my contacts cell phone numbers went into the "Other phone" field in Windows Live.

This wouldn't be a big deal, but it looks like windows phones don't sync this field from windows live. So all my contacts cell phone numbers won't sync to my phone.

Anyone else experienced this? Any way to make that field sync?

I know I could just delete all my contacts from Windows Live and sync my google contacts instead, but I'd rather not because then I'd lose all my messenger contacts.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] greener88:
I should mention I've tried syncing both my google and windows live accounts to my phone (which does give me all the mobile numbers) but then I get duplicate info such as home phone numbers, emails, etc.

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dressanderc:
I'll try to look into this when I get home for you. Do you, by chance, still have your Android device with the contacts still on it? Also, what carrier do you have?
[Windows Phone 7 General] greener88:
I do still have the android phone with contacts. Is there a way to export those contacts?

I suppose I could go through all my windows live contacts and manually enter all the phone numbers into the correct field, but I'd like to avoid this...

I'm on Bell in Canada (Edit: might as well put that info in my profile)
[Windows Phone 7 General] fallenczar:
i used this http://www.soocial.com/ and it seemed to sync properly.

you only need to use it once.

Hi, in order to be able to install android to my htc hd2 i need a custom rom.

And i like the effect when it snows on the phone and thats it is in swedish.

So im woonderig if there is any custom room that has the snow,sun,wind etc effect and its not the top1 priorite but would be nice swedish language.

and i have the windows 6.5 with the start button at the uper left corner.

Would be nice if someone can answer me soon, need to test android on it to know if im gonna stick with htc desire hd or take galaxy tab

Suggestion;

You can take a look on the Artemis thread sir.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webpatrick:
Update Radio

I think you only have to upgrade the Radio to be Android compliant.

Weather animations are in Sense (with CHT you enable or disable it). If you want the snow effect, you have to be in an area where it is snowing ;-)

Dutty has WM 6.5 (start in upper left corner) ROM close to stock no Swedish.

Artemis has WM 6.5.x (start in lower left corner), close to stock and Swedish.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverweidel:
Such nice answers... :D

My recommendation is Artemis v.4x ROM.: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612580

But - not because of Android ability - because of the great Artemis Windows Mobile ROM from Sir sternas! Its better than Android - convince yourself... ;)

I think I'v a problem with my new Patriot 8gb sd hc class 4 card.

The build "MCCM SE V3.4(FroyoStone Sense)[kernel hastarin r8.5]" runs freezing for a second my hd2 lot of times (every 5 or 10 seconds) and every application... I've came back to a Sandisk 4gb sd hc class 2 and all runs ok without freezing... I've tried another build and the same result, 8gb sd hc class 4 card don't work well.

Could be the card, but I've tried it in a PC and it runs so well (tests, etc.)

Anyone here has experienced the same with Android running in Micro Sd 8g HC Class 4 cards like mine?

I know there are some apps listed in market that allow live streaming but non of them seem to work. For example Fox News has an app for live radio, it installs OK but when running it it just sits there and I never get any sound.

Also trying some radio stations websites I never get the live streaming to work, even trying multiple browsers (Opera, Dolphin, SkyFire and built in one).

Anyone have any luck trying the above?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] gareth824:
I'm using TuneIn Radio app. Has all my local stations in CD quality and works well. Although it does take a while for the streams to load.

Also since I flashed JK1 firmware, I can now go on to all my favourite sites and use the built-in flash players. Maybe it's something to do with the firmware?
[Galaxy Tab General] rpmbnsf:
You beat me to it I just installed Tunein..and yes it works great! A little issue on the buffering (and I'm in a great reception area too) but other than that its a great app!

I have the JK5 flashed to my tab at the moment (ATT Tab with working phone in US) so that may be part of the reason.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] gareth824:
:) yes I don't know why it takes so long to buffer but once it kicks in, mine plays without any issues.

Has anyone seen one of these in person? I've only seen them on the Verizon Wireless website. I sent an email to Otterbox and they said it is exclusive to Verizon and they don't have any plans to make a Commuter case, which would be my preference. Does any one have any other detailed pictures of one of these? I'd like to have a better idea of how bulky the case is before I attempt to buy one.

http://www.verizonwireless.com/otterbox-defender-cover-w-kickstand-1.shtml
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Yaotl:
huh, I thought it was some kind of glitch since it wasn't on the otterbox site. I have the commuter for two other phones and like them, would have preferred that over the defender.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] blackheart2925:
I use the Commuter cases for my BB...they are quite good and very low profile! I also sent them a mail...wish they would hurry up and manufacture some...even Defender cases would be fine...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Paten:
Manufacture some what? They are already making the Defender case but you can only buy it from Verizon. They have no plans to make a Commuter series case for the Galaxy Tab according to the email I received.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] rallenarnold:
I received my Otterbox for my Galaxy Tab today. It seems very nice, and as normal for Otterbox defenders very bulky. I do not mind the bulk knowing that my device is stronger/safer. My fav part of the case is the removable back piece that can pop up into a kickstand (rubber feet and all) for the tab.

None the less, here are a few pics I took with my phone.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] clovis_ll:
They are similar to the ipad ones. Where did you get them? Did you buy them online out are they available on the store?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] rallenarnold:
The only place that I found it available is Verizon.com. I don't know how they have it when no one (including otterbox themselves) seems to be able to get it. I tried to find it discounted on the interwebs first with no luck.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] brendand:
Are you able to post the dimensions of the otterbox defender?

Also, can you confirm that the removable back cover also fits over the front to protect the screen when not in use.

They are not available here in new zealand (but then again, neither is the galaxy tab), so I might get a friend to pick one up from optus in australia.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] rallenarnold:
Dimensions: 1.25 X 5.5 X 7.75 Inches (3.18 X 13.97 X 19.69 CM)

The back cover will fit on the front, but where it is not touching any of the tablet except for the 4 corners, it does not feel solid any longer. It has a small wiggle to it. It is nice just to protect the screen, just does not feel the same.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] brendand:
Thanks.

Does it give you access to all the ports? Bottom samsung cable port, micro schc, mic, speakers and the head phone jack?

I'm a mountain biker. When I go for a ride my current solution is to swap the sim card out if my tab into my old rugged nokia. I was considering a defender + a dry bag as an alternate solution. What do you think?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] rallenarnold:
No, not all ports. The sim and the sd card are covered. You would have to remove the case to swap them out. The data cable, mic speakers and headphones are all accessible with the case on.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] clovis_ll:
it doesn't show on the verizon website anymore.. any one knows where else to get them?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Paten:
Yes it does. Try doing a search for "Otterbox Galaxy Tab" in the search at Verizon Wireless. I don't think they allow direct links. It always dumps you to the home page from a link.

I bought the Defender for my T-Mobile Tab from Verizon because it appears to be some sort of exclusive.

I couldn't be more pleased with mine. I have a defender on my iPad, my Streak, and my Evo.

Now on the Tab, and equally impressed. Yes, it adds some bulk, but it is tolerable for me for the level of protection.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] maxima0002:
If you care about keeping your gadgets scratch and ding free. Definitely go for the Defender. Does add some overall size but you know that if it ever drops, it's well protected. Best investment, especially if you use it daily and not too worried about esthetics.

Also for us Canadians, when you order from Otterbox directly, their shipping rate also includes the customs fees when it crosses the border. Extra little bonus!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dugg67:
I ordered an Otterbox this past weekend from Amazon for $44.22, free shipping. I just checked, it's now selling for $38 with free shipping. :(

Stil paid a great price I think though. Can't wait for it to get here. :)

Currently I have my Tab protected with a Zagg Invisibleshield and a Zaggskin. I know the Otterbox will cover the skin, but I hope that I won't have to remove it.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] knotinabox:
I got mine from gocellular.ca 45.99 shipped out of Vancouver and arrived in 2 days

I would say it doubles the weight and adds some bulk but it seems manageable. No sign of the belt clip but the extra cover with the built in stand is nice. I am considering removing the screen cover although the touch isn't affected the screen looks dull.
