[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Make sure, that when your contact are on the phone, you actually go to settings --> accounts and sync, and tap the 'sync contacts' option once for Google Accounts.

If you do not do that, no way your contacts will be synced to your gmail account on the PC :)

I found that out the hard way when i started to use Android and had to manually add all contacts again :o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kavsternator:
The non-googlemail method!

I personally don't like to use googlemail to keep my contacts safe.

So what I do is simply go into my phone book in abndroid, 'export' the 'PHONE' contacts to SD card. It will save the file 'pcsc_pcsc_00001' which can be copied to your PC whilst you conduct a reinstall. Once reinstalled copy over the pcsc_pcsc_00001 file back onto your SD card (root folder) and go to your phone book where you can 'IMPORT from SD Card'.

This way you can keep it away from the annoying googlemail which will dramatically reduce the quality of your avatars for your contacts. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] dh010447:
Other than the cost and network coverage... Is there any reason i would want to choose one of these over the other?

I was going to go with T-Mobile as they are 'almost' international (no 3G outside of the US) and they have the 5GB/unlimited plan.

However, I can get a sprint one for $349 with no activation fee.. saving $85

Played with the sprint one in costco yesterday..... Now I NEED to buy one :s
[Galaxy Tab General] fpietter:
I think with T-Mobile u can use the data and voice at the same time, since it's a gsm network. That is only possible by using 4G or WiFi with Sprint.
[Galaxy Tab General] dh010447:
Thanks - that is true... Never thought of that. Of course, that would require voice to be enabled, but it is defiantly something to be taken in consideration.

Another think i just notices, according to the official website, the sprint version only has 2GB whereas the T-Mobile one has 16GB. Is that true?
[Galaxy Tab General] raqball:
The T-Mobile version comes with 16GB internal and no SD card. Sprint comes with 2GB internal and a 16GB SD card.

T-Mobile = 16GB total

Sprint = 18GB total

T-Mobile would have higher storage options though because if you added a 16GB card to the T-Mobile version you would have 32GB total....
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
You would get 3G out of the US on most 2100Mhz 3G networks (which is the vast majority of the rest of the world).

It's the other way around that generally doesn't work as most "worldwide" 3G GSM phones don't support 1700/2100 AWS.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] dh010447:
Are you saying that the T-Mobile one is more international than the AT&T? I havent done much research, but I know the 3G network that AT&T uses is the same as the one that is used in Europe (or am i missing something?)
[Galaxy Tab General] murphycr:
I've been quite pleased with my Tab from TMo. My concern with getting the one from sprint is that SDHC cards are capped at 32GB... Therefore the maximum space availible on a sprint is 34GB, whereas I have 48GB availible on my TMo tab right now... Tmo's coverage has also been excellent, and I have frequently been in an area covered by their hotspots.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
No - the AT&T Tab should work in Europe too because it also supports 2100MHz UMTS.

However, AT&T use 850MHz and 1900MHz for 3G, which are not used in Europe, but I believe the Euro Tab supports 1900MHz so it should work in places.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
From my experience and from what I've seen at least in the new york/new jersey area Sprint's 3G network is more consistent and overall faster. You should check in your area cause I think if you spend almost all your time in the US that should be one of the biggest considerations. Needless to say I ended up getting the sprint version, funny thing is I use an AT&T nexus one and I consistently get twice the speed on my N1 than I do on my tab on Sprint.
[Galaxy Tab General] madsquabbles:
actually they both would come with 18GB. on both 2GB is for app storage. there is no internal storage included in the sprint version other than the app space.

Hi,

my streak constantly loses network connectivity since i first upgraded to a 2.2 Froyo Build! I tried 309, 315, 318, DJ_Steve 1.4.6, 1.5.0 with and without new Baseband (tried to flash every possible combination) but nothing solved the Problem! Anybody who can help me out :confused:

To reproduce the Problem i go to Settings -> Network and try to change Network selection from automatic to manual it shows "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly", then it loses network connectivity and shows "no sim-card" seconds later it reconnects to the network!

When i end a call the same thing happens everytime!

Sometimes it crashes even when trying to accept an incoming call, which is really annoying since i have to wait for the signal again :(

I come from an unlocked Dell Streak 1.6 (Germany), updated to O2 2.1 (8105) where i never had such a problem! It all started after updating to the first official Dell (309) Package! Since Steve's 1.5.0 works with the old 8105 Baseband i gave it a try but it also crashes constantly.

My Operator is Vodafone.de

Any Help or suggestions are welcome!
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
Try the new 318 pkg. The build # is 12821

Just click this link from your Streak and it should start downloading.

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg

Or if you want to download on your pc, then transfer to Streak SD card download from this link

forgot to write that down on the first post!

Any other tips?
[Streak 5 General] pceasar:
Have you tried factory reset yet? I've had issues with stuff crashing before and factory reset worked. Unfortunately factory resets wipes all your stuff but it fixes a few issues.

Does anyone have any idea which png in com.htc.resources.apk gives you the black bg around the recent apps section? I'm going for a completely transparent notification window and I can't seem to find it. Maybe its an .xml that determines the color...

[Desire HD General] pinn___________:
Hi,

is there a way to limit where the auto rotate feature functions, rather than completely disabling it?

About the only place I use it is in the gallery, and so it's quite annoying when it happens by mistake in the market, for instance.
[Desire HD General] keemyb:
You can buy Tasker in the market and create a rule to only allow auto-rotate for x app, or simply put a widget on your homescreen and remember to de/activate it when neccesary.
[Desire HD General] pinn___________:
Brilliant - I had never heard of tasker, but it's a really powerful tool. Thanks

[G Tablet General] jlmartinjr:
I had moved a large number of files to the Internal SD card to be able to more quickly move from different version of installs to test setups. I got the tablet like I would like to have it for now, I got a low memory message on the internal card, I deleted the large folder that housed my setups and it did not change the amount of free space on the SD card.
[G Tablet General] jlmartinjr:
I think that I have solved this, It appeared that the market was stuck in a loop. I canceled all of the downloads, rebooted with the wifi off.

Once I got rebooted and stable, I checked the status of the storage from setting and it was reading correctly again, turned back on wifi. Went back to market, installed one app at a time. All appears to be working ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casami:
I have already been at it for hours....I had unrooted my Samsung Galaxy S to do the lag fix. Then unrooted but forgot about the lag-fix. I used Kies to try and upgrade 2.1 to 2v2 which resulted in a bricked phone. In another thread someone kindly suggested I that I use Odin to regain access to my phone and revert back to Eclair 2.1

That worked. But now the phone is only in English or French (and I need Dutch) and I still want to upgrade to 2.2. So I used Kies but it tells me I cannot upgrade this version. After doing some more reading someone put a link to the Dutch ( I hope) Froyo. I dl the file and unzipped and got this content:

View attachment 462341

Can anyone tell me which files I need to point to in Odin? I have no clue.

I would feel even better if I could somehow get Kies to upgrade my phone.

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyManiac:
Assuming you know how to use ODIN, and that downloaded ROM is surely the ROM you need:

Feel free to feel paranoid and not do the following till someone else verifies its OK. I did the following myself to install the recent XXJPU ROM (2.2.1) and it worked fine with my I9000.

* Open ODIN. Don't change any of the tick-boxes, etc. If in doubt, close and restart ODIN.

* Select the PIT file (You should have one in the extracted contents) first using the PIT box. If you don't find a PIT file in your extracted contents, quit following the rest of the instructions.

* Tick "Re-Partition".

* Put the *CSC* file for the CSC option.

* Put the *MODEM* file for the PHONE option.

* Put the remaining file (PDA) as the PDA option.

* Forget ETC. It isn't required in this case.

* Connect phone. Phone must be in DOWNLOAD mode while being connected (Vol Down + Home + Power)

* Wait for ODIN to detect it. [Should be instantaneous if drivers are installed]

* START and wait. DO NOT DISCONNECT the phone or power down anything or disturb the USB link, please.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackDino:
Mike, sorry man I thought you were using an i9000m and in canada...

My bad, well now you should be able to plug your phone into Kies.

It should popup saying you have an update to froyo

Let me know what the upgrade letter are, should be 3

[Desire General] initialed85:
Hey guys,

I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone coverage, a satellite internet link, a laptop without WiFi (ethernet to sat modem), no WiFi routers, and my HTC Desire, and having just flashed my Desire with some sweet, sweet Modaco goodness, I wanted to start reinstalling everything

So, as the only way I could get any sort of link between my Desire and my laptop is via USB, I figured I'd give it a crack. Situation:

- Phone in USB tether mode

- Laptop tethered to phone via USB

- HTC USB tether interface bridged to local area connection on laptop

- Laptop setup as PPTP VPN server (standard WinXP "Incoming connection")

- VPN established from phone back to laptop

End state: I can browse the internet, on the phone, via the laptop, via the satellite

However, this only works through the browser. All other software on the phone is convinced it has no data connection (which by all reports, it doesn't. no GPRS, no 3G, no WiFi), and as such, things like Marketplace, Mail, basically all apps except for the browser don't work.

I'm not after a solution or anything, I'm going back to civilization tomorrow, I just thought you guys might wanna know. I know there have been a few threads of people attempting to achieve this.

-Edward
[Desire General] torwag:
Just without having a detailed look into it.

You have to make sure you route absolutely everything throw your VPN connection.

At the moment it looks like you only route port 80 for HTTP.

Android market uses 5228 if my very quick google search is correct.

Never used VPN on Android but the problem you desribed is well known for "wrong" VPN settings.

Hope that helped a bit.

VERSION 1.1 DOWNLOAD BELOW FOR JAYBOB'S 12-17 ROMS

First off I did not create this from scratch, the 3 main themes I used to make this are jaybob's CM6.1 Stable BlackMod (any of his builds should work), thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme and Incognito/Minimal Theme by Retrokid223 (Samsung Fascinate Forum).

Now with all that said, I made this theme to run on jaybob's CM6.1 Stable builds though this should work on stock CM6.1 stable. I have not tested it but will some time today. Also I have not tested on nightlies or AOSPmod. Try if you want but NANDROID!

Installation....

Make NANDROID!

Flash Theme

WIPE DALVIK!!! (if no wipe you will get FC"s)

Reboot System

Enjoy! :D

The animations are easy to replace if you do not care for them. Take the stock rom and open with 7zip, open another 7zip with the theme, inside the framework folder take the folder called "anim" and drop it in the theme, reflash theme.

I will keep theme updated as jaybob releases rom updates. As far as other roms try the theme porter for now, or thoughtlesskyle has some AWESOME themes for AOSPmod!

I never posted a official thread for a release of a theme, so if I left anything or anyone out please PM me, thanks :)

I did that first, only I pulled it from my phone using adb replaced the xml files in framework napkin(suppose to be apk but it replaced it, kept it cause I thought it was funny...just like gonna = hobnail, wtf is a hobnail haha) n pushed it back on. I tried following the directions but adb wudnt work when I was in recovery so I just did both push n pull when the rom was booted. It worked but force closed everything. See I know how to do stuff but don't exactly know what it is im doing, im good at following directions. I have no clue why clearing dalvik wud make or break this mod, or what it does to begin with, the extent of my knowledge is that it clears dalvik cache hhahah.

Hi all,

I have a problem with my hd2 mobile and I am seeking help from any member in here that know how to solve my problem.

The problem I am facing is with the storage space whenever I install a program the system will use the free storage and leave the program storage, so I have 30 mb free in the free storage and 168 mb free in the program storage.

I need to know if there is a way to free my storage and use the program storage instead.

Thank you all in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PINki92:
I think "free storage" is internal phone memory where you place the apps, games, music, files etc...

And "phone storage" is I think RAM. You can't install apps on ram.

Hey,

Just wondering if theres a mod/app that remaps the volume key to be the camera shutter. After using the DHD for a while now, I'm over the honey moon period and there are a few glaring issues that kind of ruin the phone, lack of a dedicated camera key for one is extremely annoying.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesky:
try ButtonRemapper, i'm not 100% sure that camera is one of the options u can remap your vol button to, but i know there are u can remap other stuff like Back, Search key etc.

but why don't u want to use the onscreen shutter button? i think using the vol buttons will introduce more shakes to the phone while pressing because the vol buttons are not really protruding out of the body of the phone so u gota press harder.

Or do u want the vol button to invoke the camera? that's 2 different things u know, invoking the camera vs using the vol button as a shutter button to take pictures.

In my opinion it is the 826x series rom found here http://826x.blogspot.com/

The xpure rom is also pretty good, but 826x wins if you want a combination of eye candy, speed, functionality, long battery, and stability.
