[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
Im not sure what network is running in canada ... but if they use CDMA like america then no the phone wont work in India.

Another factor to concider is the fact that you might get a branded and sim locked device ... but this is a less important issue as it can easily be unlocked using htccodes.com services and you can get rid of the branding by rooting and loading a custom rom.

You should also be aware that if anything isnt working properly on the phone you wont be able to simply take it back to canada to fix and you wont have a garuntee on it either, this shouldnt happen though as HTC make good devices, but you never know ... If youre not willing to take that chance i would advise you to rather buy online as you can then get a phone with garuntee and it would be unlocked and shouldnt have any branding on it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassd:
thanks for the info..but am planing to get sim free only and its gsm not cdma..my main concern is as i heard n/w in canada support only Technology HSPA 850/1900 wat does that mean ....... also so u mean to say there is no global warrenty available for htc...i want the phone in white color thats not available here thats y am getting it from canada in jan....
[Wildfire Accessories] jawbraeka:
I have a challenge for any Techheads out there who are up for the challenge

I'm not sure if this has been brought to the table already but my question is:- Would a HTC Eris or HTC Hero screen be transplantable into a HTC Wildfire? .... as i noticed the screens of the HTC Wildfire, Eris and Hero are all the same size.

Now, my reasons for this is cause I feel that the Wildfire has a bit better hardware compared to the other two phones but what would make the Wildfire a better phone would be a screen with better resolution so therefore apps would look a little better and therefore be more appealing to the eye when it comes to photos and video playback as well as general usage... it just brings a smile to my face to think that there is a possibility...

If anyone wants to put this challenge up... by all means but i would like a little credit when it comes time for the writeup of the tutorial on how to perform this :D
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
Well, I don't think its possible..

1. The other phones have 3.2 inch displays but with different aspect ratios. Wildfire has an AR of 4:3 given the 320x240 resolution. Hero has a different AR because of the 320x480 resolution.

2. Wildfire has the home/back/menu/search buttons on the digitiser. Other phones have physical buttons.

In conclusion it would be very, very hard is not impossible to use another screen. Not to mention the software driver problems that would appear.
[Wildfire Accessories] jawbraeka:
i'm pretty certain that the eris is actually like the wildfire... i could be wrong have been before but yeah...

as i said this is a challenge so if anyone is interested please feel free to show you workings as they come along... but i do believe that the eris is closest to being a candidate.. hero an option as i was thinking of using the digitiser from the wildfire to control the screen... possibly.
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
Yes, Eris is a close match... maybe someone can do it. I have my doubts, though.
[Wildfire Accessories] kevin2516:
I bags the OP to do it, if i do it, i might crap the **** out of my phone and destroy myself.
[Wildfire Accessories] jawbraeka:
@kevin 2516

Sure no worries.... OP please can you try this MOD as see if it would work or tell us if it would work and if the fitting for the lcd screen needs to be modded heavily to do this, as i would love to see a higher res on this phone...

The only reason why i'm asking is:-

1) I don't have a spare phone.

2) I don't have the spare cash to try something like this

3) I don't have the knowledge nor the tools to perform this

4) All i want in return is a note of credit for having the original idea.

also if the person/s who complete this can get it done right and it works.. think of the GOOGLE FAME!!! and how HTC would increase its sales of wildfire due to this simple and small mod... not to mention cheap too
[Wildfire Accessories] kevin2516:
i'm pretty sure it won't work anyway due to different software, hardware drivers etc etc, and if someone does try it, and kills their phone, there goes precious money. :| I don't think most will try it.

Although, i might if i get a desire or desire hd :D...
[Wildfire Accessories] michka:
After i get a new phone(i hope in a month) i could try it if i have the money for a screen.
[Wildfire Accessories] jawbraeka:
That would be great :D and stick it to htc for releasing, what i consider a premium phone.

i just hope its as simple as changing a computer screen over... (read: Plug n play)
[Wildfire Accessories] Skye Menjou:
It won't work if the rom doesn't have the drivers
[Wildfire Accessories] sohn:
i think it's cheaper/less time consuming to buy a new phone.

I like the idea tho'
[Wildfire Accessories] jawbraeka:
i have seen another thread in this forum where superLED and AMOLED screens can be changed over...

I think it's unfair that all the BIGGER phones get cool upgrades for free and us Wildfire fans get a **** screen but awesome phone... plus to add to that if someone could write a driver for the screen to be compatible... would be very sweet indeed.

sorry for the late reply
[Wildfire Accessories] Ardeloth:
Well think about it this way. If the screen comes from another htc phone (or any other phone for that matter) the screen drivers from that phone's rom can theoretically be used in a custom wildfire rom.
[Wildfire Accessories] augzeus:
well now that the wildfire s is out... has anyone ported the wildfire s screen to wildfire.... i guess the screen size is almost same.....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrystianSGA:
Hey, all. I'm reviewing my phone and according to Quadrant System information, my Total Memory on my Mytouch is 642,320 KB which would be around 627MB. The phone is supposed to have 768MB. What i want to know is what are the specs for other user's phones? Should i be concerned about the application telling me that the phone only has 627MB when it should be 768? Is some of that RAM not being seen by the phone but instead doing something in the background?

Thanks for replies.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cangri87:
Mine shows the exact same number as yours.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstuffs:
the gpu is probably sharing the same ram as the system
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrystianSGA:
kk, just wanted to be sure that im not the only one with these numbers.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
As with any number based in the digital world, those numbers are NOT a direct reflection of the actual amount. In tech terms 1Ghz is 1024. Not 1000. Your phone as well as mine and everyone else with a MT4G has 768. Some of that is allocated to system resources. Just like your computer's HDD and RAM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corwest:
Correcto. The system has "locked" about 150 megs of RAM to be allocated soley for core processes and cant be accessed by anything else.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
Yeah, mine says almost the same thing in Quadrant.

I flashed HSPL3 on my HD2..and flashed a radio on there also..then i did all of the necessary steps (ie. downloading Android rom, copy to root of SD, click CLRCAD, then HARET.exe..after that it goes to a black screen with about 5 lines of VERY SMALL text..and then it goes to HTC logo screen & gets stuck there forever until i do a battery pull..i've installed various radios on my HD2 for experimentation, still does the same thing..help please??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 002596:
FYI, Please post questions in the Q&A Forum as per mskip's Sticky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713942

Most Android builds do take 15-20mins to boot up the first time (they have to create the data.img file). Your best bet is to check there isn't a data.img file in the Android folder or on the root of your SD card, if there is, delete it. Then try booting again. Once it gets to the HTC logo screen, leave it and go get a a good book or something ;). My HD2 took about 20mins to boot up the first time, after that, it takes about 20-30 seconds.

Alternativly you can download precreated "data.img"s but you need to make sure they're OK to use with your chosen Android build.

If that doesn't work, check here for more info.

P.S. Mods, please can someone move this to the appropriate forum. Ta.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
First boot can take a wail, and did you placed also the img file (the 512mb or the 1Gb) on your SD?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgr81:
When you boot up WinMo, don't enter the PinCode.

Then you should be able to start Android.

The first startup it is hard to stay tuned :-)

Try to start, put your Phone on the desk and get back after 30 Minutes, then everything should be fine...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyman4285:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcomdesigns:
I bought my G2 just a few hours ago and just updated to the newest version of 2.2 for it, to get wifi calling and fix bugs, and immediately after i noticed my messaging app tweaks out every time I open my physical keyboard.

It deselect's the typing box for the message and starts scrolling and highlighting through my entire conversation, and highlighting the send button, it will do this two or three times in a row at times..

Any one else got this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
I do not (nor have not) seen or heard of this problem before. Then again, there aren't many of us who use the the stock messaging app on the stock G2.

It sounds like a software problem though. What I'd do is start with a factory reset. If that doesn't work, then try downloading a 3rd party app like ChompSMS or Handscent and see if the keyboard does it with those. If it does, then there's something wrong with your phone and you should try to take it back to get an unbugged one. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with the messaging app itself and you can either stick with a 3rd party messaging app...or take the phone back lol.

Hope one of these solutions help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trey48fan:
Any ideas? Running obsidian v5, Oclf from market. Not sure if rom related, been dealing with it since turkey day. Can dl things like songs from mp3 downloader, but files off xda, modem zip files and .apk files stop around 52k @ 1%. Any ideas appreciated...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
maybe you're throttled -- reached 5GB cap?

never had that issue when i was running obsidian V5 + OCLF nor have i heard of it before..

try reflashing.. good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trey48fan:
No cap reached. Reflashed rom multiple times after odin to stock. Flashed axura last night, no more problem. Maybe bad download of v5.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I had this issue in the past as well - try clearing your Market cache - if that doesn't work, boot into recovery and wipe cache.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
Just a thought but are you holding down the volume up and down button with phone turned off and than plugging in the usb from computer? It seems that it is required to have the phone off and than hold down the volume buttons and while holding them down plug in the USB. which is already connected to computer. Hope this is of some help!!!!!!!1111
[Vibrant General] Kilted_One:
Easiest way to get into d/l mode is pull the SD card, SIM card and batt, plug the phone in to your pc with your usb cable. Hold both sides of the vol. rocker down, do not press power, while still holding the vol. rocker, reinsert the batt.
[Vibrant General] Salithox:
adb

if you have ADB set up on your rig, just leave the usb in and type in the cmd window of your computer, "adb reboot" without the quotes. and that should reboot your phone and let it start, if you really want to get into dl mode, and can use the ADB just type in "adb reboot download" once again without quotes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] zerolgk5:
Is there a tethering app for the slide that supports this?

thanks in advance.

::UPDATE::

the htc wifi hotspot in chief's 2.2 rom works with my nook color... now to get over to cm7...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] fermunky:
Not quite sure what you mean by "infrastructure" tethering...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] zerolgk5:
To be honest, I'm not so sure myself. I picked up a nook color and from what I've read, it only supports infrastructure networks. The tether apps that come preloaded on some phones (like the nexus one, evo, etc.) seems to work fine, but wireless tether and barnacle create ad-hoc networks which the nook doesn't recognize.

Admittedly, I'm pretty ignorant about networking.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Wingnutt54:
Just a guess but It might mean that you need to connect a cable rather then a wireless tether.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] xaodxkevin:
Nope, well at least I have NEVER seen an app that does infrastructure instead of ad-hoc. Sorry
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] tronmech:
Well, I know my G2's tether works in infrastructure mode. If the tether app can act as a dhcp server, you should be fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] jojo7972:
Let me know if you find a solution for this, then that should mean we can tether to PS3's!
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] rubbachicken:
I've seen the G2 do that for sure the Optimus T I think aswell... I'm not too sure about the Mytouch HD but I can test it to double check...

I'm thinking the apps are doing ad hoc but the os can do the infra, but we don't have wifi teth built into cm etc..

ad-hoc is like computer to computer,

infrastructure is like a router...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] zerolgk5:
Has anyone tried the tether.com app?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] topnomi:
from what i have heard the newer versions of Android-Wifi-Tether operate in infrastructure mode.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

qr code:

I know that more recent versions of CM (6.1+ i think) has a supported kernel. even if it's not listed on the site.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] zerolgk5:
negatory...

I updated to 2.0.5-rc1, but my nook color still doesn't see the network. The search continues... Thanks, though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] zerolgk5:
This is a link to a fix for the nook color so it will recognize ad-hoc network, which originally spawned this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868354

I should also note that I have not tried this yet, and I'd still like to find an alternate tethering app that creates an infrastructure network. So, thanks in advance, and I hope this helps
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] N1M1TZ:
Infrastructure tethering means that the network or in this case, your phone performs like an Access Point.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] mdparent:
Been trying to connect my new android tablet to my froyo eris since Christmas. Everything I have tried only does ad-hoc. Need either an app for my tablet to allow ad-hoc access, or an app to tether infrastructure on my phone. Anything would be good.

[G Tablet Android Development] jtbnet:
Extremely Well Done!

Would be Nice to get this Stickied to keep easy for newbies to find...

Comment on Section 3... I simplified this by removing Steps 4 and 5 and modifying Step 3 to;

Step 3.

Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications - and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Framework apps, [ADD] also 'Clear Data' on 'Google Services Framework' (after stopping it in same screen).

So removes the Need for TB in this proceedure, though TB is always something worth having...

Also I only needed the first reboot in Step 6, wait a few minutes then tried Market and all was fine! No multiple reboots needed for me at least...
[G Tablet Android Development] LTL11:
Nicely done.

Can you explain in a little more detail why step 8 is needed?

I have already done everything in this post and my tab seems to be working great but never did anything like step 8. I did do the wipes in step 10 so just curious.
[G Tablet Android Development] scsione889:
This technically isn't needed for TnT Lite...but if people were to use this guide as guidelines for installing other ROMs (as I hope people would do...you know...following directions is good, but learning what your doing is GREAT), step 8 is something that is always good to get in the habit of doing before a flash.

With many other ROMs, on this device and others, not mounting /data and /system before flashing causes headaches.
[G Tablet Android Development] scsione889:
I did it using 'Clear Data' as well...but this was my way of getting newbies to use TB (and to get more familiarized with side-loading apps). It's a great utility that I feel Android users should be familiar with.
[G Tablet Android Development] Tommunicator:
Great guide, added clarifications

The only complication in following these instructions came when I could not locate my /sdcard2 folder using Clockworkmod. Once clockwork was installed using the removable SD card (as suggested), I moved all of my other files to the internal /sdcard folder, as it was the only one (easily?) discoverable. This guide was the only one useable for this android noob.
[G Tablet Android Development] omnifox:
Yes, it seems the clockwork version on this guide, does not redirect to SD2 for installs.

You must put them on the internal storage.

[G Tablet Android Development] scsione889:
Does it display an error? Please be a little bit more specific. Did you try restarting the tablet (not just putting it into standby and bringing it back up)? Also, were you sure to force close the apps before clearing the data?
[G Tablet Android Development] KiloHurt:
I did all these steps last night and everything seemed to work as expected. When I woke up this am and actually started to play with the Market, I realized that even though the Market looked good last night, all the important apps are gone this morning. I followed the instructions on the forms and on youtube videos and got the exact same results that were to be expected. I got all the errors and rebooted when asked and thought I was ok. When I opened Market after the Fix Process, all the same apps I would see on my HTC Evo are there. HOWEVER !! once I try to search or change the category to Apps or Games, or go to the sub catagorys 90% of the apps disappear. My app / game selection is now only 1 page long

When Market first opens up, I see Angry Birds and other apps I want, in the category description, but when I try to navigate to them, the screen simply says "loading" and never come up. It will stay that way for over an hour. The only thing I can do is change another catagory. When I do that, the loading text goes away and apps will show up, but alot are missing. Even the category description like for "Action Games" no longer lists Angry Birds in it. And if I try to search for an app I know is in the market like Advanced Task Killer... it says it can't be found.

I repeat the Market Fix process over and over and over again with the exact same results. Any Idea? Everything else seems to be working fine. Flash and Titanium Back up work perfect. Just can't get Market to show all the content.

Can't access Gtablet VIA USB cable from PC

I installed CWM 8, TNT lite 2.2 and performed market fix. Now my Gtab is working great. Prior to this thread I was stuck in a loop. My gtab is running great thanks a lot for posting this tutorial.

My only issue now is I can't access the internal SD from PC. Nothing shows up on my PC when I connect the USB cable to my Gtab. I have tried unmounting and mounting SD several times in CWM.

Prior to this update I was able to access and sideload APK's on my gtab running stock software with Viewsonic update.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[G Tablet Android Development] Wyngnut:
Well after booting up a couple of times it just started to work (my Gtab showed showed the SD card option). I have downloaded several programs and they all install automatically and every one of then worked. No sideloading no additional steps for install this is amazing. I was coveting the windows 7 tabs on the horizon but the free programs available through the market are amazing and when they are Combined with the Gtab hardware its amazing.

Thanks again for posting this there is no way I would have tried to put this software on my system if I had not seen this guide.

[G Tablet Android Development] scsione889:
The tablet doesn't seem to like giving the PC access to the microSD card. As far as I know this is a feature that is not available in any ROM. Also, it is my understanding that for this sort of thing to be possible we need to have the device's source code so we can make the hardware/software mesh better.

That is...unless I'm missing something very obvious...which is totally possible. :)
