IF you are on telstra AND you ARE NOT getting 3G or H then you can select the 850 band assuming you have the T model of the SGS.

also there is a code to get to the debug console and change the bands:

1. on the key pad, type *#*#197328640#*#*

2. Select [1] Debug Screen

3. Select [8] Phone control

4. Select [7] Network control

5. Select [2] and selection

[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
If I am not mistaken, the Droid X has a full screen phone pad when dialing numbers and the DINC does not. Is this possible on the Incredible to have a full screen dial keypad?
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
If you had a full screen keypad then you wouldn't be able to see your contacts and call logs as you put a number in. I would hate that, cause I use that feature constantly.
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
well you would safely have to assume a single-line window would exist, now, wouldn't you...
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
Well, if it's a "full screen phone pad" then how could it? It takes up the whole screen :confused: Just working with what the man gave me.
[Droid Incredible General] digitalicecream:
Try MIUI if you want a completely different dialer experience.
[Droid Incredible General] bearaids:
I came to XDA to make a new post, but felt this would be a good post to piggy back off of.

What are some good dialer alternatives? I recently installed cyanogen mod and am loving it, with a few exceptions. The stock HTC dialer was so convenient because you just had to start dialing the contacts number, or name and you would get an instant contacts search. It seems like now you need to manually go to a new tab, then find the contact. I really liked how slick the old (stock) way was. Are there any similar implementations for CM6.1 rom?
[Droid Incredible General] photonmedia:
I was in the same boat....

Dialer One is a great alternative that works like the stock HTC one.
[Droid Incredible General] Ireyn:
I find the YouLu Address Book dialer has significantly less lag than DialerOne.
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Still looking for an app that can give me a full screen dial pad like on the droid X. Ant suggestions?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesjr02:
The notification LED on the Evo is usually hard to see unless you stand over your phone. Is there an app that would blink the capacitive buttons for notifications?

Or better yet would be this feature built into CM6.

I've searched and couldn't find anything like this for the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
great idea, but i don't know if its possible. even better would be to possibly cycle them as well like 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

[HTC Aria Accessories] Elishallen:
Okay so im selling my ipod touch to my friend and im fully replacing it with my HTC Aria. Therefore i am sinking as much money into this as i can get from the ipod. I need a 16gb+ MicroSD and an FM adapter. So i was wondering will this SD card work with my Aria? http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microS...2801351&sr=8-1 And if this product looks any good for you all? http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Syste...ductPromotions ...And possibly getting some headphones not too sure could anyone give me some suggestions?
[HTC Aria Accessories] theROMinator:
Here you go :) (as far as the SD) http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...p?ie=UTF8&qid=1292813393&sr=8-1&condition=new
[HTC Aria Accessories] duckredbeard:
If you are going to replace the MicroSD, you should at least get a class 4. You would need this higher class iffn you ever decided to do apps to SD. Find the thread on partitioning EXT3 partitions. Ubuntu LiveCD method worked for me.
[HTC Aria Accessories] vicmora5:
Can you link me to a sd card which you would recommend.
[HTC Aria Accessories] duckredbeard:
There are dozens of different makers, I would stick with one purchased from an established retailer. I have heard of counterfeit ones that are simply relabeled lower quality ones. Look for a 4 with a circle around it to show the class. Higher class number means faster speed. Speed will cost you more and higher speed cards typically come in higher capacities. I don't use music on my device, so 8GB is plenty for me.

Expect nandroid backups to take up about 1GB. Periodically clean out your clockworkmod folder. I copy out all but the previous 2 about every 3 weeks, deleting those that I know I'll never go back to.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Elishallen:
Thanks everyone i ended up getting the original items i posted. I was really unsure on the class of memory cards so thanks duckredbeard.

I rooted mine two hours after buying it, and it's slowly replacing my laptop for web surfing, last.FM, etc

I've wiped mine a few times due to issues i've created tinkering with it....but I love it just the same :)
[Nook Color General] chiperic:
As soon as I can get RDP or VNC to work it will replace my laptop when I'm on the move. It is very capable for a tablet.
[Nook Color General] dator97:
i just wish it had 3g not every place has free wifi
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I used mine about 2 hours total to make sure it was working, then I updated it to 1.0.1, Auto-Nooted it, and have been installing apps and playing with it since. Not a single problem so far except for one which hopefully will get resolved sometime.. I really love my Delicious Bookmarks app, but it requires going into the Accounts and Settings and adding an account, can't do that right now.

I haven't tried the B&N Store or Lend Me since rooting, per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873975 <--this thread

Otherwise zero problems, it's working great. I'm using FBReader to read my epubs like I always have. The Softkeys are slightly quirky but I'm getting used to them... and like seems to be totally normal on dual-storage devices, some apps aren't looking in the place I'd expect them to, such as WallSwitch (automatically switch wallpapers) is looking in /system/media and not /sdcard or such like I'd expect it to.. I might wind up pushing my pictures there ;) /system has 160M free, no biggie :)

EDIT: After running the built-in B&N Gallery app, it seems like it spawned a media search and WallSwitch now shows my Backgrounds folder. Yay. :D
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
I have had a very good experience with mine so far- problems, glitches, I have minorly screwed it up a few times.

So far I have not screwed it up totally but I will feel much better when we have a full Recovery.

What I like:

The hardware itself, quality and capability seems quite good. Screen is excellent, especially for such a cheap device. WiFi works well- better signal strength than some expensive laptops I have used.

The mod community for rooting and doing so much excellent work already, and hopefully even greater things to come.

What I don't like:

The crippled version of 2.1 B&N has installed.

The lack of GPS and Bluetooth

the lack of portrait mode in B&Ns included software (eReader and many other sections.)

I knew there were many limitations for the stock NC when I ordered mine so I really am not complaining. I don't even mind the lack of cell service since it is pretty easy to connect to an adhoc wifi tether.

The only reason I considered an NC is because they had been rooted a few days before I ordered.

The whole experience is very familiar to me- I first got a Moto Droid shortly after they were first rooted and spent quite a while happily trying many things - and using recovery often.

It is my fervent hope that the devs are as successful with the NC as they were with the original Droid.

Even as the NC is as I type this it is a very good value and tablet.

If we are lucky, it will be a great one soon.
[Nook Color General] big.t_03:
I bought mine solely for the purpose of reading with the added bonus of web surfing and the occasional movie while on the go. I got mine in November before the root and didn't realize there wasn't flash support until I got it home and started playing, went to youtube and got the crummy "mobile" version where the video looked horrible and audio was out of sync. I stumbled across XDA while looking for some kind of a flash hack and rooted after a week of debating whether I should. I'm glad I did.

Thanks to the root, the NC has gone from mundane to a very worth-while device. I love all the stuff I can do thanks to the app support. The youtube app and Dolphin HD alone make it worth rooting.
[Nook Color General] themirthfulswami:
I was saying in another thread that I had gotten the NC primarily as a reading device, I love periodicals and the NC is pretty good for those. I was on the fence about getting it for a while, the fact that it could be rooted sealed the deal.

I wound up having to exchange my first NC (thankfully the factory reset went very smoothly) due to serious screen flicker issues when the device was set at a mid-level brightness. My second one is much better, though I can still detect a tiny bit of visual flicker under certain lighting conditions.. not a deal-breaker tho.

Couple issues that I've come across :

1. I screwed up the driver install on my PC the first time I tried it, didn't have the INI file in the right place and couldn't side-load anything on to my NC or access it as a storage device. Totally my fault for botching that one. Second try worked fine.

2. My YouTube app no longer launches, it just flicks on for a sec and goes back to the desktop. Probably need to re-install it.

3. Some memory issues when using ACV (comic viewer) to view CBR files. Frequent issues loading pages from the archive files. No issues at all if I extract the images to folders first and load that way, though so it's all good for my comic reading :)

4. Some apps that I wanted to download like SwitchPro Widgets don't show up in the market for me. Have to side-load them (which stinks since I paid for it and won't be able to get updates directly from the market).

I haven't had the stones to attempt installing the new market app. The old one works well and I'm not a big risk-taker :) Other than that, the NC is the little tablet that could! It's a fantastic way to get an Android tablet and very capable e-reading device for an extremely reasonable price.
[Nook Color General] wendellc:
We have 2 of these at home. It has already replaced my laptop at home, Using it mainly for web surfing and reading. I don't mind too much that it does not have 3g since I use my phone to tether when I am on the go. The screen size is just perfect. I just can't see myself trying to carry around anything larger, I love the portability of this thing. I don't know what Steve Jobs meant by saying that people don't want 7" tablets:rolleyes:

The rooting process was simple enough and the only problems I had was youtube not working. I did a command in adb that was posted in another thread for the fix. I don't know about the problems with the lend me feature since I have not tried.

I went to my local best buy and barnes and noble yesterday and they are all sold out of the nook color. The nook color seems successful only being launched a month ago, I would not hesitate in getting one. I am very pleased also with the support that it is getting here on XDA.

My wife's NC is still stock but after I showed her what it can do rooted she is thinking about it. It was her idea in the first place to get these things. I was really looking to get a Galaxy Tab but the NC has satisfied my needs @ only $250. I guess I will spend the money I saved on a new Android phone after CES:D
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
What he meant was that he doesn't want to sell one, therefore nobody should use them.

And remember, you are talking about the guy who tells people how they are supposed to hold their phones.
[Nook Color General] chowder25:
I bought one last night fort my wife.rooted it right away and toyed around with for a little bit before bed..

What directory do downloaded files from the internet go to? my evo downloads go to a download folder on sd card but I couldnt find it on the NC. Bash me if you must but give me an answer. TIA ;)
[Nook Color General] devis:
I picked mine up on Black Friday. Had to do some sweet talking... the ones in the store were spoken for already. Well, needless to say I got it, and it's saved my shoulders. Using my 15.6 inch laptop during the 40 min train commute was nice and all but hauling it from car to train, train to office and vice versa wasn't exactly ideal. I'm not a small guy or anything, but HP sure doesn't make things light :)

So far my NC has been a very worthy companion. It's gotten plenty of looks, comments, oooohhhhs and aaaahhhhhs after I show them Angry Birds and other things. I tether it to my TP2 and I've got internet. I use it in the coffee shops, during lunch to read, at home for a quick browse, at work as a file transfer medium, all in all it has become an indispensable companion. And that's even without BT and Flash. It would be nice if it had a GPS but quite irrelevant really... my TP2 covers that function very nicely. Nedless to say I'm extremely happy with it. One of the best purchases I ever made!
[Nook Color General] AZBrauMeister:
It's great and very encouraging to read all these positive comments about the NC. I have been lurking here since soon after the NC came out and was very happy to hear when it got rooted.

So far I have only played with a stock version in BB, but I'm about 99% sure there is one wrapped and already under the xmas free for me. Thx wifey! Can't wait to officially join the NC group on Xmas day.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Your wife will regret the purchase when your attention span is completely on the NC and not her, lol...

Its a sweet device that will only get better form here on out. Once bluetooth, nav, and a nice EQ music app (like powerAmp) are up and running, this device can become a phone companion (for roaming wifi), nettop replacement, and even a capable a carputer - nav, OBD2 reader/code clear app, and audio source (bt calls and music).
[Nook Color General] CBJamo:
How will peripherals be connected? Does the hardware support USB to go, or do you think there is a BT chip onboard but inactive? Because that would be sweet!
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
1a. By BT (once unleashed)

1b. ?? The BT chip is there (multi function chip), but needs some ROM goodness to "enable."
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
To be fair, the BT **SHOULD** be there, based on the listed specs, but custom hardware for things like this is not uncommon, so i won't dream about BT until we really get it.

I predict that in 2011 Jobs will announce a new breakthrough in Apple engineering, and will release a 7" tablet. At that time he will also rename the two tablets; MINiPAD and MAXiPAD... I'm just sayin'... :D
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Oh you mean the nanopad... I have that already trademarked... Jobs, we know you're lurkin.. Call me up to negotiate leasing rights.

On that note B&N should let XDA release NC2... Nothing but free droid books loaded upon purchase.
[Nook Color General] ms960:
Picked mine up last night and the root process went very well. Couldn't be easier -- thanks to all the hard work by the guys here and at NookDev.

I picked up a Galaxy Tab but returned it before I opened it. I just couldn't justify $600 for that device so, while the Tab has a few more features (2.2, GPS, etc.) this is an awesome little tablet for the money.

Couldn't be happier.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yeah, my wife is regretting giving me the NC, I'm always playing with it now ;)
[Nook Color General] deitiphobia:
I had done my research before purchasing the Nook and had downloaded all of the files and instructions needed to root. Its gotten much easier to root and get all of the basic features now with the latest version of Auto-Nooter.

The Droid X keyboard works great and i love how comfortable it is to type on the device in portrait. Its just like typing on a cell phone using both thumbs. You simply can't do that on an iPhone as its way too large.

Im using Zeam launcher and have Soft Keys set to load Soft Keys on first press of the Nook button and then Zeam Launcher on second press. This seems to be the best configuration.

In only a few days, the Nook Color has turned into my primary internet reading device. My huge Asus gaming laptop is just too big to lug around. My original Droid is great but browsing on the Nook is night and day in comparison.

Can't wait till Devs figure out how to get custom roms on this thing. Its already a very fast device so no need for overclock really. Would love to see Gingerbread one day on this thing. Easily the best value for $250 in town.
[Nook Color General] argie:
It took me a day and half of trying to finally get rooted, mostly creating the img file on the SD card. I would follow the instructions to the letter, but the NC would boot natively. After trying two different SD cards and recreating the img files several times, I got rooted, but I can't tell you exactly how that happened. It just happened.

Now I'm running ADW launcher, Titanium, Root Explorer, etc. Everything runs well. I can get by quite nicely withouth the soft buttons. My wife plays Angry Birds all the time... I haven't tried using my Vibrant as a wifi hotspot, but it should work fine.

I'm only wondering what plans BN has for the future of the NC. I've been using the Kindle app for Amazon books, and it works fine on the NC... so they have to be wondering... They can block it by preventing root in the 2.2 version coming up in January. What do you think?
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Even if the 2.2 update prevents rooting (which isn't likely), you'd still be able to boot from an SD card containing a custom rooted Android system.

Hey everyone! I got my shiny new Evo4g 2 days ago to replace my samsung moment. Even stock, its a completely different world as far as the phone experience goes. However, I'm missing a lot of things that require root.

Before I left the sprint store, the sales rep said he was going to update the phone to the latest software since it was out... and now, I have 3.70. I've looked around and it appears that most of the threads say 3.70 doesn't have a root method yet? Is that so?

I'm running hardware version 003, hboot 2.10, and sw version 3.70. Any pointers would be awesome; I'd love to get root to get rid of some of this crapware that's currently installed.

I did a search in XDA app and didn't find anything helpful. :(
[EVO 4G General] cruise350:
If you have facebook linked to your contact then it will force you to use the facebook picture no matter what picture you choose. If you don't want the blank facebook picture you have to go into that individuals contact settings and where it shows the little green chain link click on it and unlink the persons facebook link.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
That's incorrect.

If you go to a contact that's linked to facebook, click on the link in the upper right. Then on the next screen, click the contact's image. You can then choose the source of their contact image. If you choose "google" or another option, it will set that as default. Their facebook image WILL NOT override that.
