I think this would fall under the "manufactures warrenty" since you might have a possible hardware failure already within a year. I would call and ask to find out.

While I'm waiting to stop at the Sprint store after work I downloaded a few sensor test programs from the market. The ones that support the proximity sensor never give me a value when doing the tests. They usually just sit there in a status of "Waiting for sensor". Does anyone know how Sprint can test the sensor or will they just do what I've done?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknown Zone:
I know there are phone codes that will put you in the test hardware mode, I did this a while back when I got the epic. If I can remember as you come closer to the phone with the hand or whatever you use either the screen would turn off or it would vibrate maybe it did both like I said I can't remember.

I did some homework for you via Google of course, I tried it out and it worked, a screen will popup when you enter the codes pick sensors...just cover up the prox sensor and the value will change from 0 to a 1 and vibrate.

Very useful tests for the LCD
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmasephol:
I didn't know they had a hardware diagnostics built in. Thanks for the info. Looks like my proximity sensor doesn't change from 1.0 when I cover up the phone. I had a friend do similiar tests with his EVO and it switch from 1.0 to 0.0 when you got your finger about 0.25 inches away from the sensor. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmasephol:
Just to follow up, I took the phone to my local sprint store, which now is a repair center, and they took a look at it and said that they could fix it for $35. I don't have TEP on it so that is why I paid $35. I picked it up today and they put a new screen (top half of the slider) on to fix it and tightened up the looseness of the slider as well. Well worth the $35 in my mind. Although they forgot to put the micro usb cover back on so I have to stop back and see if that is laying around on the work bench.
[HD2 General] Latz:
Hi all

I love my UK HD2 especially since i've put it on Android but unfortunately i have to get rid of it as the limitation on cellular bands is a problem....

Recently moved to Canada where the provider i use (fido/rogers) operates 3G on 850/1900Mhz. The UK HD2 unfortunately does it on 900/2100Mhz so it falls back to the 2G network (GSM) when in Canada which is terrible for speed.

I need a phone which can do 850/1900/2100Mhz which i believe the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and the Dell Streak can do.

Wondered if anyone had any opinions on these android phones or other phones which might suit? I need something as close as poss to the HD2 with the large screen, slim design but something that runs android only. I dont like the Desire Z.

Appreciate any advice :)

Latz
[HD2 General] jaidedfocus:
As far as size goes you can't go wrong with the Dell Streak. Haven't read the reviews on that one yet but I have heard its a good phone. Myself, I would go with the Captivate if thats an option on Fido. Or see what other good Android phones they have. Really though, no matter the choice you'll find support on these boards. Hope your search goes well.

Cheers
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
Dell streak is big , but too big if you really want to use it as a phone, having personally used it, its way big when using it daily, plus you have to carry it in your hand, Captivate, Bell Vibrant or Desire(screen is small)
[HD2 General] lil_italy:
id say if u really love yer HD2 then get the telstra T9193 version. thats the same bands as AT&T, rogers, the telstra one works here for me just fine. i just bought mine off ebay thursday and picked it yesterday. guy was locally in chicago couldnt belive it!!

EDIT: i just sent u a link to one being sold in canada right now:)
[HD2 General] azlan96:
Desire HD?
[HD2 General] azuhl:
When I was in Canada, March 2010, they were having a launch party for the HTC Hero. It had been out in the UK for months, after looking at the selection of phones in Fido, Rogers and Bell, I decided that Canada was at least three months behind the curve. Although, that's just my opinion.

In light of that, I'm unsure if the Desire HD is out in Canada, I'll ask the missus to have a look.
[HD2 General] Latz:
Thanks for all your suggestions, I need something that can do all 3 bands else it won't work when I go back to the UK :-( I think the Telstra version of the HD2 is band limited too so whilst it will work in Canada I'll have the same problem in reverse when I go back to the UK :-(

Why oh why did they limit these phones :-( :-(

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look at all that you guys have suggested so far... I'll be really upset to leave HTC though.... I'll have a 'normal' phone :-(
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
Nokia N8 Pentaband, thats the phone you want :P
[HD2 General] azuhl:
My Hero worked in the UK and Canada, but it's not a replacement for the HD2 by any means. I don't know what to suggest, except looking for the bands and typing them into Google, with your other specs. I know my friends Desire worked there too (I say Canada, I mean Vancouver specifically).
[HD2 General] novaci:
I'd say go for the Samsung Galaxy S. It's an awesome device and it doesn't seem to be riddled with hardware issues like every HTC phone seems to be lately. I think I'm switching my HD2 to one once I get it back from warranty repairs (third time this year, mind you). The only major thing with the Galaxy S is that the 3rd party software modifications can be a little retarded and the phone doesn't feel as solid physically as a HD2 for example.
[HD2 General] Latz:
Yes I must admit I'm growing more and more partial to the Samsung Galaxy range.... They have a 4" screen so I'm losing a little bit off our HD2 but not too much.

One thing I was concerened about was the benchmarking..... whilst I know this is not something of a real-world concern, it amazed me that the HD2 running Droid from the SD Card could manage no less than 35 MFLOPS compared to the Galaxy's Hummingbird... still spec'd as a 1ghz processor..... managed only 8 MFLOPS?

[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
I have an Incredible with 2.2 and Touchdown installed. I just switched jobs to a corporation which claims to only support Iphone and Blackberry. This is troublesome, because I don't want to switch to a 2nd device just to get corporate email.

I can access my corporate email from my phone by going to the corporation's secure OWA server, but I want to get Push email on the phone. On the OWA site, it lists all the server and domain information, but I can't get Touchdown to work. It looks like the company uses Exchange 2007.

Since Touchdown is secure, is there any way for me to get push email from my company, even though they only claim to support iphone/Blackberry?
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
even if they support just iphone and blackberry, you should be able to get it to work on the inc. just get the server address, domain name (chances are you wont really need it unless the server requires it but get it anyways) and it should work. just try setting it up on the regular phone email. I have exchange 2008 sbs and have no issues.
[Droid Incredible General] r2DoesInc:
2.3 has exchange service :)
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
How do I know which of the following to use as server address, domain... there are a lot of things that say server in the OWA general settings:

Exchange mailbox address: XXXX

Outlook Web Access host address: XXXX

Outlook Web Access host name: XXXX

Client Access server name: XXXX

Mailbox server name: XXXX

... I tried using "Outlook Web Access host address" and it did populate my email and calendar, but when I tried to update something on my calendar on either the device or the OWA server, they wouldn't sync correctly. It also wouldn't download my last 2 weeks worth of email, even though I have that selected in Touchdown.

Any advice on which of the above to enter?
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
What does that matter if my company doesn't support Android? Doesn't that mean they block these devices?
[Droid Incredible General] toosurreal01:
You can set up an Exchange ActiveSync account on the DINC. We just upgraded to Exchange 2010 (which means HTML emails pushed!) and the only thing you should need is the domain, server address, username, and password.
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
Ok, but you're not answering my question. If you look in the string above, I'm asking which address I enter for the server. There are multiple server names.
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
None of the above will give you the server address and domain name. You will have to ask that from the tech support people in your office. it will be something like:

server address: mail.ibm.com

domain: ibm3

username: ssmith (should not be ssmith@ibm.com format)

password: whatever you enter into owa

thats all you will need. just ask your tech support people. its the same info you would need to set up outlook access on mail.app if you have a mac. just tell them that and you should get the info u need
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
If none of those are the right address, then why when I plugged in the server name that ended with "/owa" did my calendar and email populate on Android? I tried putting the same info into my Ipad and it wouldn't work. Also, my Android calendar doesn't seem to sync very accurately. But just curious as to why entering the server address that ended with /owa did anything?
[Droid Incredible General] maxnic:
############

EDIT:

Sorry, I'm burning the midnight fuel here and totally misses you're using Touchdown to connect. You can just skip to the bottom of this post then, my comments were in regards to using the built-in Exchange ActiveSync services on the phone.

###########

I definitely can't speak for every Android device out there, but since this post is in the Droid Incredible forum...

I'm running my Droid Inc. with version 2.2, which supports Exchange ActiveSync. Do you have an option to connect to Exchange ActiveSync on the phone? If so, the only things you'll need are your email address and password.

What I can tell you about that address /owa is exactly that: you've connected to the same website OWA server, you're looking at all this server info for. The website server and Exchange ActiveSync server are normally not the same server address, at least that's the way I run the servers for my company... It's also the reason everyone is telling you the info you have won't work, because the names and method to connect are different.

Your best bet is to ask them to send you the instructions they hand out for an iPhone to connect, since it also uses ActiveSync I'm positive whatever settings they're using will be the same. Either way, that's the closest information you'll get to the right settings.
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
I use touchdown, an do IT for my company. In touchdown did you hit Menu-Enable Push? It sounds like you have it working, try adding an event to your calendar, then manually sync touchdown. Does an event or email show up then?

[Droid Incredible General] infotechsailor:
There is a known issue in android that it will not work with exchange 2010 sp1 server. For some reason the sp1 on the server kills android ( but iPhone continues to function). It has to do with eas but this will hopefully be fixed in gingerbread.

Google bug report :

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11177
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
It is a bug, but everything I read in that link was for connection issues with the native Exchange ActiveSync. TouchDown was the work around until they got the native Exchange ActiveSync working correctly, which I don't believe is the issue the OP is having since he's using TouchDown currently.

I've been using TD for the last three months on our Exchange system without issue. My phone vibrates before Outlook even pops up that I have an email, it's a "warning" system!
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
He said his corporation only supports iPhone & BB.

BB enforces the use of it's BES	server license for security and RIM royalties.

Does iPhone have a similar solution to BES?

If so, android exchange may be futile.

GOOD / VOX would be a security product for android, similar to BES.
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
I got my work email to work with Moxier mail, but not Touchdown with the same settings my IT dept hands out for iphone. There are a couple of strange bugs though. I've noticed that when I leave the work Wifi and transfer over to either 3g or another wifi signal, my email, contacts, tasks, and calendar refreshes from scratch. This is super annoying because I have thousands of contacts. This happens in both Moxier and Touchdown...

And on to Touchdown, which has been the bane of my existence. I've entered the proper server/domain/login information, and 1/10 times it downloads everything from scratch (which takes hours). Then I'll switch to another wifi connection or to 3g, and I'll lose all the information and I'll have to hit resync. When I resync, 99% of the time it hangs somewhere along the line and doesn't load all of my information. This battle can go on indefinitely until everything finally loads - but then all the info will eventually randomly disappear again and I'm back at square one again.

Since the same thing is happening in both Touchdown and Moxier, it makes me think this isn't a coincidence. But why would my information erase when I change signals and then have to completely refresh? And Touchdown probably takes 10 times longer to reload my info than does Moxier.

Any thoughts from the experts?
[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
Bump. Can't anyone help me with Touchdown? It keeps randomly refreshing. Sometimes it's just the inbox, sometimes the sent box, sometimes contacts, and sometimes all of the above. What is going on?
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
Try contacting the app support people yet?
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
You can set it to poll for the folders you want it to refresh. You can also enable or disable push, and you can select which folders to refresh. When it goes to refresh, it will always refresh what you've told it to, did you check these settings?

Sent from my girlfriend according to my current girlfriend
[Droid Incredible General] CCrew:
iPhone and Android both use ActiveSync. If one works conceivably the other should, but it's a question of how they're administering the server side. I've seen IT departments that don't turn on ActiveSync at the user level until they confirm that the user is using an approved device.

The fact that the OP says that the calendar is synching and not mail says that it's a client side issue. For starters he should have to just specify the name of the server that's doing OWA and not the full URL path and he's stated that he's adding an /owa to the path.

So unless he has a really fubar Exchange server where he's at everything so far points to client config.

[G2 and Desire Z General] KarlosTheJackal:
I've used Cyanogen before on my G1 & its good but it never felt like stock to me. Just wondering is it possible to flash the G2 Rom onto the Desire Z?

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
According to Cyanogen it's still not a totally stock build. But if you use gfree to get full radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash the G2 ROM. Do not try this with just S-OFF from the engineering hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KarlosTheJackal:
'Radio S-OFF' *confused look on face* I am very confused as to what you mean.

What is 'Radio S-OFF'? And what's 'engineering hboot'? Think I need to read up a bit more before I even consider rooting this device, if you could point me towards the best place to start I would be greatfull!

[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
I have not seen stock Android running, only with Sense on my Desire Z, and I've not been able to find a simple list of what specific features Sense has added over vanilla.

Could someone point me to somewhere which might tell me whether I might prefer vanillia Android, as I'd hate to switch to an otherwise better ROM only to find lots of features that I liked have suddenly vanished...

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
If you look through the dev forum, you will find lots of custom ROMs. There are some custom ROMs based on the stock G2 ROM, and you may want to try one of those our (or possibly more than one of those).

What you need to do is to get permanent root on your phone (I recommend using the "rage" method, documented in the dev forum). Then you need to get S-OFF (Security Off) so that you can flash unsigned (i.e. custom) ROM images.

Originally there was a sort-of S-OFF using an "engineering" version of the bootloader. This was ok but kinda risky. We now have a much safer method, described in the stickes on the dev forum, using a program called "gfree". It now is clear you haven't used the engineering hboot, so just forget I ever mentioned that lol.

What I recommend you do is read up on "rage" and the new "gfree" S-OFF, read some more, ask questions if you're not sure, then only finally once you're clear, go ahead and do those procedures. Before you try another one, install ROM Manager from the Market, use it to flash Clockwork Recovery (it's an option inside ROM Manager), and then use it to do a full backup of your ROM - so that will mean if you don't like the new ROM you can very easily restore to what you have now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You'll lose all the HTC apps. So if you like any of them, maybe you won't like a stock Android ROM ?

Have a look at HTC's spec sheet on the DZ, which does list all their add-on apps and widgets too, that should give you an idea - http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desirez/specification.html

But you could always do a Nandroid backup of what you have now, flash a new ROM to try it, then you can easily go back if you don't like it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] catachresistant:
This.

Also want to point out that HTC's enhancements go beyond the apps, rosie-launcher and the widgets...

The T9-based dialler is theirs, as is the camera, the deskclock (with world cities), the music player, etc...

Oh and lots of little things like the icons/black statusbar etc.

I generally don't like having to use Sense, but I wish Google would up their game with regards to the dialler and camera especially. They're just terrible at the moment (which is why Cyanogen went to the trouble of practically making his own camera app).

Hopefully for Honeycomb...
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
I have to say that I'm a Sense fan. I can't fault it over stock Android (aside from the slight performance overhead, which is a non-issue if you overclock).

Vanilla Android - awful camera, contacts, dialler, ugly as hell, launcher looks nice but is plain annoying cos it doesn't fling more than a few lines, you don't get the Sense weather animations which I think are awesome eyecandy for showing off your phone to other people, Sense widgets are all generally pretty, the list goes on...

But ultimately that is MY preference, and the awesome thing about Android is you can customise it to fit your preferences. Try vanilla out - you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain :-)

Quick question for you, Why do you recommend the 'rage' method over other methord's such as 'visionary'?

This topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857390&highlight=gfree talks about using 'gfree' & 'visionary' & seams like a very easy & straight forward way of gaining root access.

[G2 and Desire Z General] KarlosTheJackal:

Thank you so much! I have stock Android XD <3
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yep, a lot of people seem to run Visionary and end up stuck in a boot loop or similar. I've never seen any problem like that with rage, the worst that seems to happen is it just doesn't work (but the phone is still fine), and that's usually because a command hasn't been typed in correctly or an error message came up and the user didn't realise it was important.

Excellent ! Well done :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svarto:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is some way to track what is happening on my phone? Since my screen stops working when waked up from standby. i.e. if i press the button at the top to standby and then when i press it again and reach the lock screen the touchscreen is not working, it is simply not registering touch and neither are the 4 small buttons on the bottom (back, settings, home, search). However, the OS in itself is still running as I think since I can still see the time move and if I hold the off button the menu comes up for reboot etc.

Anyone heard of anything like this or any tips how to solve this? I am rooted and running CM6 I think at the moment.

Thank you,

Svarto
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famandeggs:
so the only way to escape this is by pulling the battery and rebooting? when you do reboot and dont go in standby, the touchscreen works fine?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can check the issue using logcat and /proc/kmsg.

Also, you can read my threads on the subject, describing the same error with logs, and see if your logs are the same.

I'm currently trying to check if the error repeats itself after full wipe and starting from scratch. In the meantime it didn't show up until I applied a theme, and then after reflashing the ROM it's gone again - I'm still checking, only a day has passed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svarto:
Yes, the only solution is to pull out the battery and reboot. Then it works fine and I can go in and out of standby. I havent found a particular pattern to it happening so it is hard to reproduce.

I will have a look at that logcat and your other thread!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Just to guide you - when it happens to me, the phone gets stuck with mmc0 access that receives "CRC error" reply and doesn't go through. Pressing power button for a long time several times and playing with trackball / touching the screen between presses "releases" the "lock", and you'll be able to work with the phone again until you put it to sleep again. If you turn WiFi and BT off and then back on - the problem seems to disappear.
