[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amoosavi:
Quick question. So if I have a new evo with new hboot and I rooted using the s-off method, what roms am I safe to use. I read that it needs to use stock kernel? Does this mean I cannot use cm6? Im fairly new to all of this so I appreciate any advice. Im using fresh right now since it uses stock kernel. What would happen if I used cm6? Just no cam? And if i do need a stock kernel, can i not overclock? I loved cm6 on my hero so I'm just wondering what the deal is... thanks!

What *is* it with The Inquirer? They seem to take every opportunity to bash WP7 - I've never seen them put in a single good word. How can journalism be so incredibly biased?

http://www.theinquirer.net

Do a search for "windows phone"...

Read any one of their miserable articles and you'll see what I mean - they're snide, sarcastic and dismissive and they take any chance to jump on the slightest bit of negative news, even quoting sales figures from marginal or unnamed sources.

It really is reporting at its worst.

Just as well they're only a bit-player in the IT news market. What ever happened to balanced view-points?

Rant over.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
The comments underneath are even worse; one tiny, unknown, not reputable at all website doesn't sell many WP7 handsets, and all of a sudden, everyone is analysing "how MS failed" -__- Oh and I swear, the next person who types Microsoft as 'M$' is not going to appreciate the level of flame sent towards them -__- This mindless MS bashing just really needs to stop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Exactly - the sources of all this so-called "Doom and Gloom" are such tiny bit-players that it actually makes me feel more confident about WP7, as no big-leaguers have released any bad figures yet.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ph0z3:
Alright... done TONS of looking... found nothing.

I have my lcd.density set to 165 on my milestone and my buddy has his (vibrant) to 180! If either of us drop below 220, Beautiful-Widgets animations DO NOT work. Was curious if anyone knew a way to get around this issue? I emailed the dev & he said its a known issue and HARD to fix. AMOLED devices, 220-240 will work, anything lower will not.

I would REALLY like to keep the immense ammount of space i have, ive even tried setting my columns on LauncherPro to 6x6 and setting the density to 200... still nothing. I normally have it set to 10x10 & 165.

If you know any ways to fix/correct this, please let me know!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokomuffin:
How can i find out what type my Desire is?

I would like to flash the [ROM] CyanogenMod-6.1 for Desire (GSM/CDMA): V6.1.0-RC2 but i have no idea what ROM i need.

What happened when i flash the wrong ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Do you have a SIM card in your phone? If so, that's GSM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
Be sure to know your screen type too..check whether it is SLCD or AMOLED...

No sim card=CDMA

sim card present=GSM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ownsta:
Hey everyone,

Ever since I bought the TP2 I've had issues with every rom I tried. I started with a 6.1 build. not long after that several updates where released by HTC.. but I kept issues with crashing software, freezing etc. This both with a clean build and with some approperiate software installed. I did notice that when I used a backup program the system was more unstable than when it was a complete clean build.

After the 6.5 releases I was about to throw the phone out of my window. I tried a bunch of roms, from the simplest builds available to several others. But no matter what I try the phone keeps freezing, and crashing. I also have issues with the alarm not going off sometimes.

When I installed third party roms I used the recommended radio's. and I followed the instructions given, which includes whiping the system before I install a new radio and rom.

I've searched the web for this but I haven't found out what this could be, maybe any of you have a clue what the problem could be.

Thanks in advance!

Dion
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
What ROMs have you tried? When you say you wiped the phone, you mean you ran Task29? If not, I would highly recommend doing so before every ROM flash. Also after the phone boots up after the flash, hard reset to empty the storage memory, just to be safe. May or may not help, but can't hurt.

I run the ROM stated in my signature, and it very rarely freezes or crashes, and thats with the CPU overclocked to 729 MHz.

Most backup software is not meant to move from one ROM to another (and can cause a lot of problems is you do so), only for backing up and restoring within the same ROM. Try some research on the specific backup application you use, to see if this is the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe406:
I run the 21916 Energy ROM. I have tried several different ROMs and they all seem to pretty much work the same. The only ROM I have ever had crash or lock up on me is the factory TF3D based rom. I always use the task 29 and flash any rom I want to try.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ownsta:
First of all, thanks for the fast replies. :)

I've used task29 with every new flash. I might try it again without using a backup. And I will also try to overclock it a bit. I've done a dozen of hard resets allready, and I soft reset the device on a daily basis. Might this be a hardware issue if I keep getting the issues? If so could it be worth it contacting HTC ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I think you misunderstand about the overclocking. Overclocking would INCREASE the chances of you having freezes and crashes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Other than on SOD I got in the 1st week of owning my Tilt 2, all my crashes have been related to overclocking or something I was doing with the phone that I shouldn't have. Yes, I sometimes have to reboot the phone because TF3D has notorious memory leakage, but other than that my phone runs great. I read about a lot of people having random lockups when doing normal phone stuff (mostly TP2 owners) and I have to wonder if they just got defective phones. Other than that 1 unexplainable SOD, I know exactly why my phone doesn't behave as it should and it isn't that often. I've been overclocking it at 748 for a month without issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ownsta:
Well, in that case I will not overclock anything!

Which rom do you guys recommend as one of the lightest and most stable roms? if I got the same issue with a clean build I will put everything to stock and contact HTC about this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
The simplicity ROM that I show in my signature is very lightweight, smooth, and stable. Its the best I've used do far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ownsta:
I will try that one without restoring a backup then. Many thanks guys !
[Vibrant General] draikz:
I just got the OTA update! I'm not too possible if it's Froyo or some other update. I'm currently on stock JFD FW.

How do I check if it's froyo update before I update?
[Vibrant General] Master™:
OMG lol, if you are running JFD it is prob JI6
[Vibrant General] draikz:
Oh, ok =/

That sucks, I thought they killed JI6 OTA's?
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
If your on JFD it's probably just the JI6 update. TMO still hasn't finished pushing JI6 to all the Vibrants.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I thought they did too, but who knows.

And I'm not trying to be mean or bash anyone but why do people get a message saying there's an update and don't do it, they come on here and post they got it. Do the update and check the Phone Info and see.
[Vibrant General] Nayyak:
Well said.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
OP, could you change the Title of the thread (go to edit > advanced mode).

200 views already... the title is going to make people click, and I don't think you really want people reading this.... just saying.

^ agreed.
[Vibrant General] Lakers3408:
They did finish with the JI6 OTA, it was only sent through October.

I called several weeks back telling TMO that I didn't get the JI6 OTA and the rep told me that I missed the boat and that I would need to wait for the "New OS update being released later this month, which is better than JI6"

Take it for what it is....

OP... Just update it and check About Phone and tell us what it is
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
I bought a second Vibrant on 11/11 and I received JI6 on that phone on 11/13. So, it would seem their not done sending JI6, because my update was not Froyo and neither is the OPs, which he said he just received.
[Vibrant General] draikz:
So could it be froyo? Because like I don't think t mobile worker push out ji6 again should they? Again i could be wrong.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Yes, you are.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XprogeR:

Hi

I am sure i saw that htc wer bringing out a keyboard operated wm7 phone by christmas

thought it was touch pro7 or similar

but now i cant find any info on it

anyone any clue on the name and when its being released

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Its the Pro7.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/7pro/specification.html

Don't know where you are located. But if you're in the US, its only been announced as a Sprint release so far, and scheduled for sometime first half of 2011. The interwebs also says that Europe is getting it first half of 2011.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeken:
As per the specs;

Internal storage: 8 GB

? WTF!!!!!???? 8 GB? What am I supposed to do with that? Jesus Christ HTC, you just can't seem to get anything right these days. First you come out that that ridiculous HTC Surround and now this? And after all these years you still can't include a decent camera with your phones?

Seriously, is it me or does it seem like HTC is always one step behind the competition?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Its completely unclear to me whether you are complaining about too much on-board memory, or not enough. The Droid 2 has the exact same, 8GB, the Samsung Captivate has 16 GB. The iPhone 4 has up to 32GB, but not expandable, of course.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeken:
8gb is not adequate. Why does the HD7 have 16gb and this only 8?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Good question. HTC seems to be marketing the HD7 as more of a media smartphone due to its larger screen, so the focus seems to be on playing videos and the ability to record 720p video. Where the Pro7 seems to be marketed as a work device, where one might not need the increased storage. But I'm just guessing.

I agree that more storage is better, and flash memory is cheap nowadays. Iwould think it would probably only cost HTC a couple bucks to increase the storage memory on the Pro7 to 16GB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
Cheers for that

that is indeed the model

contract ends in March so that could work for me!!

anyone seen some decent reviews?

I wonder if there are problems with this model as all the blurb said it would be relaed before christmas in the UK

HTC 7 Mozart

Hi all

My last phone was the TP2. I am in the UK so didn't want to wait six months or more for a WP7 phone with a hardware keyboard. In the end I went for the HTC 7 Mozart on Orange UK.

I was very concerned about how I would get on with a phone with no hardware keyboard. The answer is, very well. The keyboard is light years ahead of anything I ever used on WM6.5 and I am able to type almost as quickly and accurately as I did on the TP2 in just a few weeks of use.

The only disadvantage is that with the keyboard displayed (in landscape) you generally only get two to three lines of text to look at.

Overall I am very happy with the HTC 7 Mozart and it does have an 8MP camera with Xenon flash.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
seams like they keep decreasing the screen sizes...HD2 4.3...Surround was like 3.8...I think...now 3.6...for this guy...going backwards...and the same with the memory thing...they finally offer about 8GB of internal...but now no option to expand on that...sounds like backwards development.

I know Mega supports SD 2.0.......But want to confirm wether anyone has tried 32gb SDHC????????????.......

/*Just b4 buying*/
[Touch2 Accessories] Gothik:
If even it would, Don't expect it to fly. It would barely work i guess.
[Touch2 Accessories] lance21:
whats the max gb that u've experienced? ^^ thnking of buying 16Gb....
[Touch2 Accessories] 30021190:
16GB MicroSD confirmed working in the HTC Kaiser so there's no reason is shouldnt work in the HTC Touch2, will try it in mine when I get a chance to confirm.
[Touch2 Accessories] Picard0147:
Hi, I can confirm that Mega is working well with 16GB card (ok not so well because I have class 2 card :( ), but I'm realy want to know if it is able to use 32GB.

PS: Sorry for my english...

Fantastic stuff!!
[Legend Android Development] saw81:
help please..how to install,just this process????

1)Copy file (HTC Legend - Froyo MR - 2.6.32 kernel source code to sd

2) go to Recovery

3) "install zip from sdcard"

4) select zip kernel file

4) FLASH

5) "reboot system now"

thanks all
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
This is the source code not the actual binaries/ROM. This needs to be compiled into something you can flash to your device. You need to follow the following steps:

Follow this thread

Sit tight & wait for one of the fine devs here to whip up something nice for us

Thank dev

Install using normal process

Enjoy
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Or:

Learn about the Linux kernel

Learn to compile it this kernel

Be the dev that "whip up something nice for us"

I'm just sayin ;)
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
ha ha ha defo true...

You could go down that route as well :p
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Seven of them in SEARS today - looks like Black Friday returns are starting to come in.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
What is the link for refurbs?

60,000 units times perhaps 70% returns = about $4.2 million cost for refurb sale and handling costs (minimum).

Not seeing how this ends well.... Perhaps people will learn not to release a product not ready and then release a very half-hearted update, while a few people that are not even paid make it a near great product.

I wonder if Viewsonic has accrued for this hit to their P&L in 2011? Viewsonic is nuts if they think Kmart / Sears, Office Depot and Staples will eat these costs.

All they have to do is get rid of Tap, add the Nvidia drivers, Flash and do something about the disaster of an app market portal. That last one is the hardest, but the others can be done NOW- not 12/19, which will probably be another half-hearted effort.

The sales and operations planning meeting for February will be very interesting at Viewsonic :eek:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Try this: http://www.searsoutlet.com/d/invent...&mode=buyUsedOnly&to=cart&pn=1&ps=10&disp=sel
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Thanks.

My guess is Viewsonic may see a bunch of returns by retailers before sold to customers, but I did not expect the device to be pushed during BF, either.

Logic sometimes has no meaning.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
lol none in my area :(
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I guess I'll be taking a ride to freehold and paramus! LOL!

WOW! The one from Paramus was gone when I clicked on the link. I just bought the one from Freehold.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Half of them are already gone. :)
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Is there a way you can reserve these before driving to the store and purchasing it? I'd hate to purchase it, drive to the store, and it's gone..
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Buy it online, the store confirms the unit is there, then they charge your card. You get an email that says it's available for pick-up. and you drive to get it. If its already gone, you don't get charged.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Seriously, at that price, you would be foolish not to buy a 3 day old device. I don't even care if it doesn't boot; I can fix that!
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
The online site doesn't give me an option to buy it, just print out a page w/ a tracking number and goto the store. I called the store and the manager and sales associate seemed kind of clueless about sears outlet, and said they didn't have any in stock..? :confused:

EDIT: I see now that you have to "Add to Cart" to reserve the item and order it online. Here's hoping I got it!
[G Tablet General] CartmanTheTub:
just tried to buy the one from marlborough, MA and I ordered it at 9:30 AM and the store does not open till 10 am. I still got an out of stock email T.T
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
I am willing to pay someone if they can get one for me. There are none in my area.
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Well, I placed an order online and went to the store for pickup (fairfax, va), and on my way there I got a call that the product was defective and being sent back to viewsonic. Seeing as how I was almost there, I just went to the store. Spoke with the manager and got the same schpeel. "The customer returned it for an issue with wifi."

So, one has to wonder why it was up for sale if there was a problem with the wifi, and how they magically knew there was a problem after me calling and inquiring about it. It would appear that perhaps someone else wanted the tablet who works there, but who knows. Perhaps I should have just taken it and tested out the wifi on my own but I opted not to.. Moral of the story, don't call the store.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
That is probably the unit I returned after I thought I bricked it....lol. Loving my pad and wish I could pick up another cheap one.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
As of 1:30 pm Eastern, they are all gone except the lonely one in upstate NY that has been there for a couple of weeks. Its amazing to me how these units sold out so fast. I still need another so I check the website a couple of times a day.
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
Yes, they are all gone. I was able to buy one, but i had to drive 180 mile one way, so I choose not to do it.
[G Tablet General] ncaggie1989:
Hey guys! Do what I did: Went to my local Sears in NC, talked to the store manager, purchased a gift card on the spot for $311 ($279 plus UPS shipping). He called the store manager in Michigan. Had the G tablet sent my house, it arrived 2 days before my birthday. The stores can accept your Sears can send ID on back of the card to the store in question and hopefully ship your device. Also sign up for the Sears loyalty card while your at it; picked up $10 bucks in Sears points on the spot!
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
damn, wish I knew then :) Thanks.. will keep looking..
[G Tablet General] toddmp:
Someone please pickup that one in New Hartford. It must be so lonely.
[G Tablet General] Jessieryder:
10% Back if you use Discover Card @ sears.com

If you need to buy a new one, shopdiscover.com is offering 10% back if you link through their site and use a Discover Card to purchase.

My new g-tablet cost $341 (before the 10% Chicago tax, of course).

I hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreameruk:
hi all, i have had a look through the forum but dont seem to be able to find anything. for some reason when i reboot my phone it comes back on then my mobile data will start up if i turn the mobile data off it will start an hour or so later have turned off as many of the auto updates that i can find. any sugestions or help would be much appreciated as its starting to bug me now. thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Auto updates shouldn't turn on mobile data, perhaps it's some kind of bad app/process/service that is starting it.

Try installing a firewall or a data monitor app in order to see which process demands data connection.

If this doesn't help a hard reset probably will.

If it happens that you never use mobile data (I don't) you can just erase your APN settings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreameruk:
thanks for the reply whats a good data monitor app any suggestions ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Try TrafficInfo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreameruk:
nice one will get this installed then see who is the culprit lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreameruk:
hi ya 3722 i have traffic info installed and from what its saying its the dialer thats starting up my data conection this cant be right can it ? nothing comes up under user just a few things in system and the dialer is always at the top
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Hm..

Go to settings>>wireless and networks>> scroll down and see if there is a tick on "mobile network", then tap on "mobile networks" at the bottom you'll see "enable always-on mobile data" turn it off if it isn't already.

As for the Dialer demanding connection, I don't know if TrafficInfo is showing it wrong or if it's really the case, anyway you can try clearing the dialer's data and cache.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreameruk:
lol its still the same m8, dont worry about it i'll put up with it untill i flash RCMixHD, thanks for your help its a strange one its baffled me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
:) Yeah sorry for not being very helpful but I am running out of ideas, and yes flashing a new rom should fix this annoyance.
