[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Last Friday I sold a G2 for 300 on C/L.

Saturday bought a Nexus S on a contract upgrade.

Returned the Nexus S this morning, canceled contract.

(I could not deal with the phone having no way to move the curser)

Tonight bought a MyTouch 4G brand new for 350 on C/L.

Impressions... the MT4G is a faster better phone then the G2

but the bloat ware is horrible.

I'm too used to the stock android on my Nexus One.

:(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] student.driver:
I have a G2 and I wind up with a free mytouch 4g due to some contact shifting. I didn't care for it at first, and went back to my G2. Then I gave it another chance, and used it over last weekend. I was bummed about what I perceived to be poor battery life compared to my wife's G2. When I went back to the G2 I realized what bugged me about it: the keyboard is a little too stiff for me, and I went back to the mytouch. It's my fifth Android phone, and the best I've used.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
Well buddy I am in the same boat as you are and like you I also wanted G2 but later switched to MT4G, thank god I didn't buy G2 or I would have regretted it by now as MT4G is superior. Now I come from HD2 community and we all know the advancement we achieved in past few months which is unbeatable at this point by any device when it comes to total custom control. Only reason I am even considering MT4G is due to my beloved HD2 being stolen. Other than that I wouldn't even think about upgrading until there was viable dual core mobile processor based device in the market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
Thanks for the replies. I got myself a white one today, even trade with the G2. Haven't got to play with it much yet but I'm living the form factor of the phone. For done reason the screen feels brighter and bigger, hence only being one inch bigger. Can't wait until I root it and get this baby going wanted the black one cause it looks slick but this will do until someone wanted to trade their black one for a white one, anyone?

Edit, you can probably tell in using swype, just have to let go of that urge to whoop out the physical keyboard when I get frustrated with swype or the soft keyboard.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
one inch bigger? that would be huge :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
I'm sorry. 0.1 inch bigger. Alright this isn't like the G2 at all. I rooted and got S-off but the Rom isn't rooted. What do I do to have root stick?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moustafaraslan:
Since I'm on my phone I can't get you the link but go in the android development section and look for how to root noob version that's the way I rooted mine
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
Thanks. I got it. Now there's a couple things I need to fix or get it to work. Just the lack of roms, coming from the G2 annoys me. There's no good rom out there.

And the battery issue, it won't update or show the correct values of the battery
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperNode:
Talking about lack of roms and development. As im already semi-migrating from HD2 to MT4G, didn't buy MT4G yet :P until few of the bull**** is fixed by HTC (washed out display, off center ffc, creaky buttons, ect) makes you think how it even passed QC in first place. I mean if I am welling to pay and will pay the full device price of $450 then I expect it to work. Most importantly I hope this phone can live up to my HD2 standard when it comes specially to customizability, I mean we all know how versatile HD2 is hell folks down there want me to forget about MT4G and buy another HD2 lol. I hope as time goes on MT4G community also grows along with development.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greygoose0:
Try using team silences' Iced glacier Rom, its the stock mytouch Rom so its super stable, but it doesnt have all the bloatware. As far as your battery goes download setup(free) from the market, that along with some other phone weeks should help your battery life substantially. Also titanium backup is another app to download (free) that can help you further remove bloatware.

[Focus General] panzerxschreck23:
Does anyone has this problem? Whenever I want to text someone it takes a while for my screen to rotate, sometimes it wont rotate. I tried to shake it or flipping flopping it, but still no luck. Is there away to re-calibrate the G-Sensor?
[Focus General] dvorak123:
same problem here. Locking and unlocking seems to fix this sometimes.
[Nexus One General] iandroo888:
a few days ago, i got a message when i think when someone sent me a text... i got the message saying that phone hit limit for sms or something... i was like O.O theres a limit? D:

need a way to save texts in a readable format... preferably by conversation/person and not by time received?
[Nexus One General] anomalyconcept:
I think the messaging app internally has a limit. I've used SMS backup to export and import my messages to XML format when I flash new ROMs. I haven't looked at the resulting XML files themselves, but I'd imagine it'd be fairly trivial to manipulate them into however you want them displayed.
[Nexus One General] radzuky:
I believe it has to do with the internal mem. When you get that message try installing something you probably wont be able to
[Nexus One General] teh_lorax:
The internal messaging app is ****. Or it was back when I used it. Handcent > *
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Either way they are saved to the same location.

If you install a heap of apps and run down your internal memory, you will also run out of space for Sms, i don't think though that there is a specific amount of space allocated to sms.
[Nexus One General] xpooz:
There is a limit. When your internal memory is getting low and you will see a SMS spacing low. If there are more SMS coming in basically you can't receive any..
[Nexus One General] iandroo888:
i tried using SMS backup which backs up SMS to gmail. but the limit is 100 per convo... any way to increase number to unlimited?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I use sms backup as well because I can then reference any text I've ever sent by just searching that thread in my gmail account.

The 100 count limit is not a real limit, it will keep uploading them in chunks of 100 till it gets all your messages. It's just for the initial upload. After that it uploads your texts thru the day in real time so it will never need to come close to the 100 limit.
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
you must have a lot of apps installed on your Nexus, or be a monster of texting...cos I've got more than a thousand sms in mine, and there's no problem at all.

Could be that you hit the internal memory limit?
[Nexus One General] evcz:
actually 100 is the limit of the conversation within gmail...

I have contacts with hundreds of messages exchaned and those appears as multiple conversations (100sms each one) in gmail...
[Nexus One General] dubyajaysmith:
You could switch to google voice. I've used Google voice since I opened the white box and pulled my sexy nexy out. You can have it send your number out instead of ur Google voice number with text but I switched to just my voice number so I never have to worry about porting numbers and giving a new one out again. Google has more space on there servers than my phone ever will =D
[Wildfire General] xelasha:
Today I bought a Wildfire that has a branded OS by Telstra, I don't like a lot of the extras and startup screens and junk that is there. So I rooted the phone and flashed it with that popular Puzzlerom but I didn't really like it so I recovered back to my original from a backup. Is there anyway for me to flash it with the latest official ROM from HTC or get rid of the branding on my current Telstra ROM?
[Wildfire General] xelasha:
So I've done some searching, I found some references to getting the official HTC ROM from Shipped-ROMS. I couldn't find anything on the website, but when looking at the website index directories I found the Buzz folder but I don't know which HTC ROM to download. I want the latest one and I'm not really sure what the difference in versions numbers are as there are so many and all of them are pre-dated before the 2.2 release and I don't know if there is a difference in Radios and I don't want to upgrade to the latest version and have my phone not picking up reception and not being able to possibly revert it as I don't know if 2.2 is rootable.

I'm also unsure If I can simply run the official WWE .exe if my phone is rooted without some kind of corruption.

If somebody could give me a quick guide or point me to a thread which could help.

In a nut shell my situation is:

Telstra Branded Firmware Version: 2.1-update1.

Software number: 1.21.841.3

Kernal: 2.6.28-543e5f81

Rooted

Need to unbrand and get latest official HTC rom.
[Wildfire General] buckster1:
I too am interested in a fix for this?

cheers
[Wildfire General] xelasha:
Turns out I'm actually really stupid.

In the Development subforum people post the official ROM and safe .zip versions of it too -_-.

Debrand Telstra Wildfire

Am curious about doing this the Telstra firmware is quite annoying not to mention god knows when Android 2.2 will become available. I have tried all the RUU update i can find none work, get either error 130 or 140... main problem seems to be the model id of my phone is incorrect. I currently have 2.1-update1, baseband 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10, software number 1.30.841.1. Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of the Telstra firmware in favour of the standard HTC?
[Wildfire General] Zeeko:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe

have you tried this one?

Its Froyo by the way

Or browse in here:

[Wildfire General] lemming999:
I bought a Telstra Wildfire before Xmas and used the follwoing procedure to debrand it to a stock HTC ROM.

The Wildfire came with ROM ver 1.21. I upgraded it to 1.37. See http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/ for a list of the HTC roms. I used http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe as it is the most recent one that can still be rooted. The next one is Froyo (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe) however

if you flash this one you will not be able to root it unless someone works out how to at some time in the future

.

Firstly you will need to root the phone using Unrevoked (http://unrevoked.com/#wildfire).

Secondly create a goldcard (http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/)

The goldcard is necessary as, even though the phone has been rooted, the upgrade program will note that the CID in the phone is for Telstra and you are installing a non-Telstra ROM. You will get an error without the goldcard. The goldcard will override this detection and allow stock HTC and custom ROMS to be installed on your phone. Once you have installed the new stock HTC ROM using the goldcard, the goldcard will not be required for future stock ROM upgrades. It may not be required for upgrades to custom ROMS either but someone else may be able to verify this as I have not tried them.

Some people have had trouble getting the goldcard to work using thrid party SD cards. If you use the one that came with the phone you will not have trouble. The only problem with this is, as part of the unrevoked rooting, you will probably have done an nandroid backup which will dump backup files on the card so that you can restore your original ROM if you wish. I skipped this backup as shippedroms has the standard Tesltra 1.21 rom on their site (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe) so that you can restore the phone to standard if required.

Thirdly, install the stock ROM (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe) with the goldcard in the phone.

This will unroot your phone but you can re-root it again as you did in the first step above.

You can upgrade to Froyo but read the posts under the Wildfire Android Development section of these forums so that you understand the disadvantages of doing so. Many have been to quick to upgarde and have been caught out!

I am going to wait until unrevoked can root Froyo before I install it.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Has anyone tested that the phone can still communicate at 850mhz after running this process?

The phone I ran this on still works at 2100mhz, but lost 850mhz, which more renders a Telstra wildfire useless (Unless you're a city dweller with ample 2100 coverage)

Is it possible that the radio firmware flashed in with the european image (which is of course designed for the 900/2100 radio) does not work properly with the hardwre in this phone? I've done a lot of searching on this subject and have come up completely empty!
[Wildfire General] CosmicDan:
Hey guys,

I bought Eclair Wildfire Telstra-branded only weeks ago, straight away rooted it and installed Sunaabh ROM (a stable, stock-like Froyo ROM). Apart from Telstra splash screen (unable to remove because we have S-On) it is debranded of course. I dunno what you mean about the radio stuff, but I live in faaaaarrrr west Sydney (Wallacia) which is pretty much country and I get 3G. Is that full NextG speed...? I really don't know!

Do NOT install official 2.2 update! It will remove root and install the new, currently unrootable HBOOT!

EDIT: What is this goldcard nonsense? Do your research! Unrevoked3 installs the Clockworkmod recovery and you can then flash ANYTHING.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
I think by now I can say there's 2 ways of debranding a Wildfire A3335:

What I did (don't do this anyone else!):

* Run a stock RUU. Fully fully debrands it (No telstra logos anywhere). Also replaces the radio firmware with an eurpoean version and destroys your phone's rural (850mhz) coverage

What you did (and what I should have done):

* Just replace the ROM. Leave the Radio firmware in place: End result: You still have a phone that works on 850mhz but you've also got an annoying telstra boot screen, and there's not a damn thing that can be done about it until S-OFF is figured out for Wildfire.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
The Goldcard is for people who choose to run the HTC RUU upgrade process, as described by lemming999. As you just reflashed your ROM, it is expected that you would not require a Goldcard.

As per my post above. *** Do not run this unless you really don't care about your rural coverage ***
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Ok - I've posted a solution for getting 850MHz 3G back again for anyone silly enough to do what I did. Read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11559059#post11559059
[Wildfire General] CosmicDan:
Is it possible that you have S-OFF as a result of flashing an RUU? I assume no, because there are no RUU packages which have an "Engineering" SPL included... right?

What about SIMLOCK? True debranding should remove the CID ;) if you can share whether you can use non Telstra SIM cards now, I may pursue the Goldcard/RUU process myself!
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
I don't have S-OFF at the end of this. But the HTC RUU does have the ability by some means of magic to COMPLETELY debrand the phone (including the first boot screen) and ruin your radio in the process.

So now that I've managed to restore the Telstra radio, I have have a 100% unbranded, fully working A3335 while most people tend to be stuck with the telstra logo at the SPL.

If S-OFF was obtainable on wildfire I think this process would be a lot easier but I got the desired result in the end. Reflashing the radio is pretty dodgy. I've avoid it as if it goes wrong. Your phone is a doorstop.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Yes non telstra SIM cards work. Although, I bought the phone unlocked so I don't know how this came about. as for the CID, it may remain, it may not. I don't know how to tell. There's a fairly good chance it was nuked when I flashed with the Euro RUU.
[Wildfire General] CosmicDan:
Fair enough, thanks for the detail. I'm not fussed on SIMLOCK (no vodafone coverage out here anyway), was just curious.

In regards to s-off, it is determined by SPL which AFAIK every RUU has. But again, every PUBLIC RUU would have nandlock. But there are some Wildfire users here who do have s-off, and say they don't remember how they did it (they never noticed until down the track). Odd.
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
so, when i push the power button while the screen is on, the phone WILL NOT shut the screen off. however, if i am at the lockscreen and press the power button, the screen will shut off. long pressing the power button brings up the airplane mode, silent mode, and shutdown mode as usual. anyone else have this problem?

i have yet to root it, i just bought it off of craigslist and the phone worked fine at the sprint store, i watched the guy put the screen into sleep mode...
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
nevermind. MODS please delete, the power button is functioning properly now...twilight zone man!

i'm trying to update my gtab to tnt lite 3.1. currently, i'm running the tnt lite 2.2 and installed that with out any problems following directions. that was a zip format. however, the tnt lite 3.1 file that i got from the following thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842004

is a .rar. When i go to install the zip from sd card, go to roms folder, it doesn't come up and i can't see it. however, the tnt lite 2.2 is there. i tried just re-doing the folder into zip, and got it to recognize, but it still did not boot up. i selected it and it just went back to the previous menu. how or where can i get the zip file for tnt lite 3.1?
[G Tablet General] japhule:
You need to extract the rar file first. Once extracted you will find a update.zip file you can use to install.

You can extract the rar on the gtab with androzip from market or unrar it from your PC with winrar or 7zip.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
This is directly taken from the link you provided. The rar file once extracted will have the update.zip file, and a recovery folder with a command file in it. It is a rar so people with clockwork know not to try and flash the file directly without pulling the zip file out of it.

Instructions for those with standard recovery:

- Extract the RAR to the root of your internal memory. So, for example, if your device is mounted on your Windows F drive, you need to extract the RAR so that you have an F:\update.zip file and an F:\recovery folder. Then, unmount the drive cleanly.

- Power off the device, then begin the flash process by holding the power switch and volume up switch for several seconds. You should see a recovery screen and it will take 1-2 minutes to complete.

- After the update is complete, the system will reboot.

- You will see the standard Google registration screen, on first boot. You can skip the Google registration process and try later, when you have WiFi running.

Note: these instructions are for the internal memory. If you have no access to that (ie stuck in a boot loop), you can add the files to a microSD card and that will work. However, you need to make one edit to the \recovery\command file, which is a text file. Edit it in notepad and change "SDCARD" to "SDCARD2" and resave it. But, make sure that Windows doesn't add a .TXT extension - it HAS to be called "command".

Instructions for those with clockworkmod .8:

- Extract the RAR and place the update.zip file anywhere in /sdcard (do NOT just copy the original RAR, that won't work! You have to open up the RAR and copy the update.zip inside. You don't need the /recovery folder for cwm). I would recommend putting the file on the root of /sdcard, since it will be easier to upgrade that way.

- Reboot into recovery. Do a backup first, as that's always a good idea.

- Then, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip", assuming you added the update.zip to the root of /sdcard, and run it.

- Reboot.

Note: I have heard reports that this might "Status 7" and I have no fix for that, yet. It seems to be intermittent.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
thanks guys. that was very helpful. got it to work.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Good to hear. I actually specifically used a rar format for these because it needs to be extracted. I used to use a zip format and there was a lot of confusion, as well - I need to support standard recovery users as long as we have them (and we will probably always have a few of them).
[Fascinate General] Tnguy38:
After receiving the fascinate on release day, I, along with all of you have been waiting patiently (ahem) for the Froyo drop. After watching these forums and trying to learn all I could, I tried every combination that has been modded or developed here to help satisfy the need for something better than stock. I wanted to thank all of you who have been working on different things to help make this phone better in the absence of OEM support. A lot of the things delivered did make the phone better, but I always kept having to load another work around to do something I was used to doing on my old droid 2. Today, after playing with a Droid X, I decided to go ahead and dump the fascinate in favor of the X. Perhaps a mistake, but for now, I don't think so....my empty anticipation has dissipated until I start wanting gingerbread on the X. From all of my hours of watching, reading and learning from you all, it seems like the support is just there from Moto and I've never felt that from Samsung. If things work out like they normally do for me, you should be getting Froyo tomorrow thanks to me getting rid of mine. This is my first post in XDA, as I usually spend my time searching and reading to learn from the experts and I wanted to take the chance to say thank you before I start spending my time in the droid threads.

Okay?

It'll probably be out soon you know.. lots of Galaxy S phones are getting one way or another now. Were bound to get an official release soon. Good luck with the DX.
