[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
the argument behind the use of cloud over local storage is similar to the one of android vs windows phone.

basically, the reason they made the microSD cards not "hot swappable" is so that they can encrypt the whole card. this way, noone can just come around and take the card out of the phone and get all of it's contents.

in terms of cloud vs local storage and which is more secure, really, neither can be said to be completely secure if you're on the internet. that includes your phone. if your phone uses data, then it's not secure, that includes bluetooth. pretty much everything is hackable. though that is the worst case scenario. in terms of putting your information in strangers hands, you merely being on the internet is doing that. in the hands of google, microsoft, and any other service that tracks cookies, browser patterns, etc. so really, your information is everywhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
Security is more than just whether your data is secure from hackers. It also keeps app developers' data safe from you. MS knows that they need good apps to sell the platform, and to get devs to put forth the effort they have to show that the platform won't allow the ease of piracy that Android users have become accustomed to. Yes, it is a tradeoff, and it might not be for you, but I do not see that changing anytime soon, so if you wanna go WP7, that's what you're looking at.

I have to admit that the idea really did not appeal to me in theory when I first heard it. No one likes the idea of giving up a freedom. However, after using my Focus for a while, I have found that, for me at least, it is far outweighed by the positive changes.

That being said, the last thing this forum needs is yet another thread devolving into a nonremovable storage bashing session vs. WP7 fanboy argument, so I'm just gonna suggest that you really honestly try out 7 before nailing it over a point or two. It is a much larger change from 6.5 than can be really explained by a quick bullet point list, and really deserves to be approached with a fresh mindset. If it works out, awesome. If it doesn't, then that's just where you're at.

Sure, if it ever gets ported to HD2 ill try it out , or ill have a look at my friends mozart :) , but aside from that even tho I still have my concerns I agree this is not the place for argument, and even though I only partly agree with the answers, they did give me somthing to think about and thanks for answering my questions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tha_joran:
Hello,

I installed a Windows ROM on my HTC touch pro, wich automatically loads the haret.exe to start android. But my battery is just running out of energy too fast, so I want to go back to Windows.

How do I do this?

If I take my SD-card out, it gives the error that there is no haret.exe.

And I can't synchronize witch my laptop in this status, so I can't change the Win ROM.

Is there somebody who can help me?

Bye,

Joran
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Deleted member 437861:
You can find all the information you need by searching first.

Anyway, try this.

Press and hold the down volume button and soft reset with the stylus. This should take you to the bootloader screen.

I'm not sure whether this will let you connect to Activesync so that you can flash a WM Rom.

However, if you have a Rom that you want, do this:

1/. Copy the ".nbh file" to your SDCard.

2/. Make sure it is named "RAPHIMG".

3/. Place it in the root directory.

4/. Press and hold the down volume button and soft reset with the stylus.

5/. Follow the on-screen instructions.

6/. Once this has completed, soft reset using the stylus.

Good Luck.

How many times can I perform a nandroid backup? I already have 4 different backups in there.

Is this eating up space?.........Is there a way to delete certain ones?....Or does it stop you once you've reached a specified amount?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
sdcard/clockwork/backup

that is the directory. You can rename/delete them. they do eat up space as they are large files.

If you plan to rename the ones you want to keep, do that through rom manager to be on the safe side (under the manage backups option)

I ordered a kit that has the back door, frame and faceplate, back door and frame are white. I paid 59.99 that included the tools (t5, t6, philips, removal tool, and suction cup)

I will post pics of progress and how to.

I purchased this on eBay btw.

Thanks to B0r0b here is a link to a tear down video http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-E...eardown/2979/1

[EVO 4G Accessories] nkawal:
FYI....all original white EVO's sku and ESN are in the system as white EVO. Be careful if you have to return your evo to sprint, they'll see that it's a black evo and could deny your claim.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekoulak:
I'm aware of that. And if I had to return it then I would want to keep my white housing for my next phone. Thanks for the heads up though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zabalba:
Can you link to the seller for the kit?
[EVO 4G Accessories] b0r0b:
While this is semi correct, the ESN plate is attached to the board, not the rear frame. It's considered an accessory and would be seen as such. Same as with a Blackberry, you can get a custom color front faceplate, that doesn't change the fact that it's a Inferno just because there's a chrome faceplate on it.

Also, to save you some potential work:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-Evo-4G-Teardown/2979/1

That link provides an entire teardown. Just reverse it with your new rear frame.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekoulak:
Kr-net is the seller but I can't find the white kit for the life of me. Seems that auction ended yesterday. Maybe he will resell it. The item was called "OEM HTC EVO 4G WHITE HOUSING FACEPLATE + BATTERY COVER"
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekoulak:
Thanks for the video link. That would save me from making instruction video on this thing.

Yes the white is just the back half of the phone, the front is still black.

Im running Skyraider 3.5 sence with s-off radio 2.15.0.07.28 build 3.26.605.1

Im running into a problem with wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 14 or any version will stop working after a few mins. i have looked for something on here but I have been unable to find a fix. So I'm wondering if there is one. If there is im sorry for the repost. i can't seem to figure it out.

If any knows the right way to fix this im all ears.

This was one of the biggest reasons for rooting my phone. It worked great before 2.2 came out. Once I went to 2.2 rooted it stoped completely. I rooted into 2.2 using a method from Mejdam on youtube. I even tried the stock method that was on here to go back to 2.2. Then rerooted with unrev. still nothing.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
Me 2

I seldom ever use my wifi tethering...but when I noticed the version number in your post, I decided to upgrade, and found 2.0.5 RC1. I decided to test this new version out because last time I used wifi tether, it worked fine. I think I was using pre-10 (it came with SkyRaider 3.3). Well, I am noticing the same problem. It starts out just fine, really fast & responsive, then after a minute or so it goes intermittent, the 3G icon comes and goes and it just becomes worthless. We are both using SkyRaider 3.5. My baseband radio is newer though.

Anyone else?

UPDATE: if you have a file: "\system\etc\sysctl.conf" then rename it, reboot your phone and try wifi tethering again. This fixed this problem for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beecker:
Rename the "sysctl.conf" to what?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtrkdr:
I've also been having this problem for a long time now and so far haven't found any fixes.

I looked for the file you are talking about and cannot find it using Root Explorer, either I don't have it or it's hiding really well.

Also does anyone know where I can get the stock 3G Hotspot app?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
VZ has blocked you on certain tethering traffic due to 3g abuse without the tethering contact ($20/mo).

I have experienced VZ blocking various 3g tethering activity on my previous phones. This block is based on the phone's EIS#.

When I changed phones, the block was gone until I spent a couple solid days on my corporate vpn.

I've recently been blocked from my corporate vpn again. I don't know what steps I'll take to get it re-enabled, but I suspect I'll enable their tether contract, to open my access, but shortly cancel (pro rate cost).

I don't know when i'll take time to do this..

Let me know if you have success with this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beecker:
I had a gut feeling that VW had something to do with it once 2.2 came out and they offered the 3g hotspot for $25. Ill keep looking to see if anyone is able to get around it. I'm not gunna hold my breath though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
It's not a 2.2 thing our a smart phone thing. This has existed since my first experience in 2004, on a basic cell phone tethering with 1X.

It's easier for VZ to block us rather than hold us to the End User Agreement.

I should be able to call VZ soon to enable their tethering, see if it opens my access, then cancel the tethering service for a prorate charge of 1 day.. By the weekend.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
From what I recall reading in the past, Verizon cannot tell if you are tethering when using the 3rd party wifi tethering application. Are your comments based on your own experience, or can you supply a link that suggests Verizon is blocking our tethering applications.

EDIT: Just FYI, I found another thread, specifically on this subject:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/96761-verizon-blocking-tether.html
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
I just renamed mine to "sysctl.conf.bak"

The file above was added by myself back when first posted that it would "increase your 3G speeds." And it actually did for me. But I suspected it when I tested the latest version of the wifi tethering application. When I renamed the file, things got instantly better as far as tethering goes... I have been using my wireless tether application for a little over an hour now with absolutely no problems.

So this was a guess on my part, but my tethering is now working fine and not dropping my connection. I hope this works for you as it has for me. If you don't have the file on your phone, then it's time to look elsewhere. :o

(don't forget to reboot after renaming the file)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
My comments point-out that VZ can safely assume you're abusing tethering by the amount of data used within a certain timeframe. -- an amount that is not typically possible when only using phone and apps (non-tethering traffic).

Thinking back on the first time I encountered this in 2004, I did call VZ tech support. This was their answer.-

according to this [granted, may not be reputable source] the ability is there, just not in the software.

Just a thought.
