[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeenn:
Hi Guys -I have been using this ROM on my HTC HD2 which was an early Chrimbo present :)

Energy.Leo.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.13 it has been brilliant until today

Today the back case was a bit loose, and the battery fell out, failed to turn back on, other than to get to the ENERGIZE boot logo.

I have connected to PC and it is still the same :(

I did a task 29 to try to clear the phone, and tried a new ROM, but still ENERGIZE logo then it turns off and back again

Does anyone have any ideas, as I am a bit gutted, I have used severaly different Roms before which have all been fine

Have I bricked it?

Thanks in advance everyone x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
as long as you can flash ROMs it's not bricked. Try this:

1) keep battery out for 10 minutes

2) make sure the pins on the back of the phone that connect to the battery are not bent and that they are connecting. I had this issue forcing reset loops and was tearing my hair out trying to figure it out.

3) Once battery is in with all connections, run task29 again. Flash that Energy ROM (by far my favorite ROM ever btw, but I like the sencity flavor).

Reset and it should work. If this doesn't work flash the stock 3.14 ROM and see where that gets you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeenn:
Thanks so so much orangekid........only just managed to try this as I was working all day, and I think it was indeed the battery pins :)

There was one bent up a tiny bit-I am all back up and running now and appreciate your reply so much-would never have thought to try this

Sorry for kicking an old thread, but would this theoretically work on the LG Optimus C? The M and C are the same exact phones on seperate carriers. C is on Cricket Wireless and M is on MetroPCS.

Yes, it would work on the other phone. And there is possibility for Optimus T and Optimus One roms working on the M & C devices. The hardware is essentially the same.

[Wildfire Android Development] F012DY:
Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Android really, a few months back I bought a G1 to dabble with it, but through some conflicting information and me screwing it up basically - I bricked it.

Now, I've upgraded my contract to a Wildfire, with 3 UK. It's a branded device, with their logo on boot, and Planet 3 app etc..

I've had a fiddle with the basic stuff, finding my way around and that, but I'd like to gradually take it further.

For now, I don't need the latest and greatest, so I don't want to go down the way of custom ROMs etc.

What I do want, is to have it think it's a generic HTC Wildfire, no network brandings, so that when HTC rolls out a release (As they have 2.2 this week) I can get it then, but I don't need to flash myself with CyanogenMod or whatever.

I wondered if it is possible to do this by removing the CID somehow?

Basically, I'm a noob, and I don't know if it's possible or not, but I pretty much want to just stop my phone thinking it's 3 branded, and get a stock HTC ROM on there, so that I can update it OTA as and when HTC roll them out.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

I have read about GoldCards, I know that they allow you to flash a ROM different from what your CID allows by bypassing it - but I'm not really sure if that's what I describe above or not. If I created a GoldCard, and flashed a stock HTC ROM via it, would I then be able to update it to 2.2, and further in the future OTA just as if I'd bought an unlocked device?
[Wildfire Android Development] F012DY:
Quick update,

I've created a GoldCard successfully, and have rooted and installed CWMod recovery, and made nandroid backup.

Can I put any ROM on, such as this HTC stock "Buzz" one, or might it not work because of different radio/SPL or something?

Not sure if the one I use will have to be Wildfire specific, or radio specific or whatever?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john1ramos:
Hi I just bought a phone from someone and upgraded it to Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1 using the unrevoked 3 method to root. It is not activated and would like to know what I have to do to get it activated. I went to the US Cellular store and it does seem possible, I would just like to hear someone else's experience because I will not be activating this phone myself, but someone else will.

Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoreOxide:
By activating, do you mean "unlocking"?

Like, your phone is SIM locked to another carrier?
[Nexus S General] OPTheory:
Hey guys,

Looks like I got mixed up with the two different versions of the Nexus. I'm a Vibrant (Galaxy S) owner myself. Yesterday, Mom came home with a Nexus! They're basically the same phone, so it was easy to navigate, etc. She had some major gripes though...

First of all the contacts and dialer app in Gingerbread seem to be quite a step back from what I've had in my Galaxy S since I got it months ago. You can't side-swipe the contacts list to either call them or message them, it doesn't have a list of letters on the side so you have to scroll through the WHOLE list in order to get to where you want, the dialer app looks pretty but it doesn't bring up names as you press the different numbers.

Is there any possible way to bring a Galaxy S style dialpad and contacts list to the Nexus? These features may seem like not a big deal, but when you're dealing with over a thousand contacts it becomes quite important.

Any suggestions would be very welcome! Thank you.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I dont see why not, but it would most likely require porting some portions of the Touchwiz framework
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Hardware wise they are almost the same, but software wise, they're lightyears away. Vibrant runs on Samsung's TouchWiz interface, the Nexus S runs on pure Google Android operating system.

You tap on the picture to the left of the name, a box will come up and you can quickly call/text/email/gtalk/map/whatever.

As for the list, just swipe up/down the contact list and you'll see a little navigation square pop up on the left, you can then use that to drag up and down to go to the letter you want real fast.

My guess is no, the dialer/contacts app relies on the TouchWiz backbone too much.

My suggestions are above, and also, teach her how to use HER phone and not your phone. :)
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
How about installing that dialer app from the market. Damn what's the name of it, I'm drawing a blank. But it doesn't need root and it can be your main dialer and its much better than stock.

Ah its called dialer one.
[Nexus S General] hah2110:

[Droid Incredible General] morph3k:
I get poor reception on my Incredible whereas my parents get great reception on their phone. A little googling and this popped up:

http://www.onlyincredible.com/incredible-booster.html

is this legit at all? i'm not a technical guy so I have no idea.
[Droid Incredible General] slorange:
I call bull****. They used to sell these things for regular cellphones. They didn't work then, either.
[Droid Incredible General] morph3k:
I was thinking the same thing but trying to be hopeful ya know? I really need some signal boost. I average around -90 dBm
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
If you're desperate, it's not like $2 is a huge sacrifice for a likely useless piece of plastic. I don't know I usually get between 80-100dBm at my house and i have no complaints about the service... The bars don't necessarily tell the whole story. 85dBm is 5 bars on my 6bar signal meter, so keep in mind that bars don't necessarily tell how mcuh signal you have. With the stock 4 bar meter, I would never have 4 bars at my house; usually 1 or 2; sometimes 3.
[Droid Incredible General] morph3k:
I go by the dBm and just sitting my room I can go from -85 up to -120

I always thought that it would be normal for my dBm to be in the -60 range. Am I wrong or is -80 to -90 okay?
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I get -91 to -106 in my room and I have good enough signal to do anything I want. Also my friend bought one of those for his Eris and thinks it actually hurt his reception but I can't imagine there's a difference with or without it
[Droid Incredible General] androidtrkdr:
If you want something to boost your signal this is one of the only things I've found that will actually do it..... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...CODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE

They are normally priced at $120 but can be had for $15. I bought one and currently use it in both my vehicle and home. It will boost the signal for me from around -105 dbm in my house to around -90 dbm, but I've seen it get as good as -81 dbm. I plan on buying another that way I don't have to keep moving it around.

They say it works within a 6 ft radius of the plug but I've found that you need to be a little closer than that to it.
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
-80dbm is the best signal possible. Also, cdma signal fluctuates. Don't expect it to stay at a consistent number. Unless you're having issues with dropped calls or slow data, I wouldn't spend another second concerning yourself over it.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
Thanks for this... now would two of these work better then one?
[Droid Incredible General] androidtrkdr:
How do you figure this?

I've seen my signal get better than -80 dbm.
[Droid Incredible General] morph3k:
I know people here don't take bars for much, but why is -80 only 2/5 bars if it is all i can expect? I've only had a couple dropped calls so you are probably right that i shouldn't worry about it.

I've never seen mine better than -78 unless it was some weird fluctuation for a second
[Droid Incredible General] dpwhitty11:
0 would actually be the best possible. But it can never happen, so, meh.

As far as highest signal strength possible, I've been in the -30's before. That's the highest I've ever seen.
[Droid Incredible General] Pkmn760:
Same, -32 was my best
[Droid Incredible General] luvit:
Your head absorbs wireless signals.

So, use the speakerphone more often, or better yet, use a good quality Bluetooth ear piece so the phone can sit near a window still.
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
keep in mind that CDMA phones with VZW use two radio frequencies. one is voice, the other is data. so the "bars" and 3G doesn't do much to specify which of those two network connections its representing. my guess is that it's representing data strength, not voice.

-80dbm is the "best" signal strength i've ever seen a verizon wireless cell phone have. and that's based on other phones, such as blackberries, winmo, etc...i'm not sure if it gets any lower than that on CDMA networks. i know my WI-FI, when at the strongest, is usually -40 or -60 dbm.

for example, sitting at home my signal is -84 dBm, and that is pretty much full strength

also, the value we are discussing is how "loud" the signal is. take into consideration that network traffic will also impact service in varying ways.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
So you don't want it to automatically import? After wiping the phone, don't log in to Google. Go to settings, accounts and sync, add account, add your Google account. It's gonna start syncing so now go back to the screen you get when you press accounts and sync, press your Google account and then unchecked sync contacts.

what an odd request. i guess you could... install a kernel for a different phone.

or install one that's so stupidly and absurdly overclocked that it won't boot.

or there's always the official BRICK capability in the Android api. I dunno how to use it, but you must get permission with the manifest file like so:

public static final String BRICK

Since: API Level 1

Required to be able to disable the device (very dangerous!).

Constant Value: "android.permission.BRICK"

Downloading this now to try out; I assume that you included both Evervolv's and r2doesInc's GB ROMs in your statement of "all current GB ROMs"? That'd be great, because I swear that Invisiblek's kernel, fast and fluid as it is, is causing some majorly excessive overheating in my phone. I'd prefer that my phone break down...well, never, but if it did, closer to my contract upgrade date. lol hoping yours puts out less heat (and I'm only running the main profile at 1.1GHz, so it's not even that much over the stock).

So far no problems with the kernel.

Does your kernel offer any built in screen off profiles when using the Smartass governor? Some kernels with smartass usually do a min-max screen off profile of 245.
