[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mogston:
Been using Android on SD as my daily OS for months now

Tried many different Android builds & I'm still trying to find the perfect one...

Jumped on the NAND wagon too soon and ended up with no space to install anything (damn EU HD2!)

Going to try the A2SD+/EXT4 ones next...

But, still have WinMo mainly for the following three apps:

TomTom - used it for many years so know it inside out. CoPilot is good but missing a few features e.g. when map browsing you can't search & jump to a location, have to zoom & scroll (yuk)

fpsce - Playstation games on your phone, oh yes!

Cisco AnyConnect client - for work, enables me to connect to our SSL VPN and fix stuff without leaving the pub!! THAT is :cool:

The fact that there are so many options for either OS is the best thing about the HD2 - none of the Apple/Google/Blackberry fanbois can compete with us supergeeks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madcapmagician:
I'm hooked!

I've been a WinMo user since my first HTC phone - a Blue Angel - and I love it.

However, I tried Android via SD card back in October and was blown away! I used it for a couple of weeks but gave up on it at the time because of the huge loss of battery life.

I NANDed the phone a couple of days ago, though, and I'm not going back to WinMo....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w.andi:
i sometimes use windows for a sim toolkit. and the reason i still love winmo because it has a very stable perfomance when you use a great rom. and till today i still can't find android rom that can give a better perfomance than WinMo. IMHO.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nardone24:
The HD2 should have never come out with Such an old O.S

Windows mobile 6.5 Sux i liked nothing about it.

Android Nand all the way

Thanx to the chefs for all there hard work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Just because winmo didn't work for you doesn't mean that it sucks. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I have noticed this forum has gotten much ruder and immature since android was ported. Android fanboys have begun acting like the apple fanboys saying every other os sucks. Just use the os you want to use... there's no need to talk trash about other os's. I still like winmo... I don't have it on my phone anymore, though, because I'm using wp7 and android, but once the sd version of winmo is released, I will use it sometimes for gps navigation and fpsece.

And I'm glad the hd2 came with winmo... I wouldn't have bought it at the time if it hadn't, and it wouldn't be able to run all the os's it does if it had come with android. Anyways, there are plenty of hd2 like devices that run android natively... why didn't you buy an android phone if you hate winmo so much?

There is alot of truth in your statement above, mate. Cheers!;)

Android Market is much nicer and cleaner then the winmo market.

Just so much better of a UI in Android.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dismal moron:
Hello All,

I've been browsing and searching pretty much all day, so I'm now going to ask for help.

Symptoms:

My screen is black. No white bars. Nada.

I know the phone turns on because the charging light goes off and the phone vibrates once when I press the down volume and power to go into recovery.

Preceding events:

I had just finished making a phone call, and the phone rebooted. I (was) running OMGB v6. When it came back, it started into a boot loop. It would run through the splash animation and then restart.

So, I decided to clear everything out and re-flash. Pulled my card out, wiped everything. Backed up my card, cleared it out, formatted it, and put the rom image in the root directory. When I tried to flash, I received the following error:

Cant mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p1 (Invalid Argument)

Mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /data failed: Invalid argument

I pushed parted (and a few other files) in adb and checked out what was going on. It looked like my phone's internal memory had somehow become screwed. So, I followed the directions outlined here:

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage (Sorry, can't post links yet. I'm not that cool. .smirk.)

When I got to the step of re-flashing PN31IMG.zip, Everything seemed to go through fine, then it rebooted and Voila! The screen is dead.

I think it may be because I have the slcd version, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

Any input or suggestions would be both welcome and helpful. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
EDIT: Can you even get into hboot?

And you formatted your SD card as FAT32 right?

Probably a SLCD screen and the PB31IMG was for 2.1/AMOLED.

Try this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786436

Flash the PB32IMG.zip in part 2. It's the stock 2.2 with support for the SLCD model. Thats just my 2 cents.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
Input: In addition to searching and browsing, you should post your thread in the right section.

and yes as said above it was probably the incorrect screen version.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dismal moron:
EDIT: I am doing just as you advised. Will post after trying. Thanks! :)

I am fairly certain that I can get into hboot, as this is what happens:

Press and hold down volume and Power

Wait 5 seconds, release power/volume down

Charging light goes off

Camera shutter clicks

I wait a good 15 seconds, just in case it's scanning my sdcard

Then, I presume it is in hboot and press the volume down key to move the selection to recovery, then press power to select, so that I can *hopefully* adb to fix it

It vibrates, as though going into recovery, But I can't see anything on the screen from start to finish, so I'm not sure.

And I have to be screwing it up somewhere, because no device is detected in adb
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dismal moron:
Thank you, kind sir.

As I am obviously ill-educated as to the correct place to post, would you mind pointing me in the right direction; or, as you agree with my assessment, offering a solution?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dismal moron:
Update:

So, I finally got the timing right and booted the phone enough to get to adb.

I pushed parted and associated files to the phone and re-partitioned the internal memory (Swap, EXT2, FAT32), then disconnected from the computer.

I pulled the battery for 30 Minutes. Unnecessary? Probably. But I'm saying what I did just in case someone else has this issue.

While the battery was pulled, I downloaded:

ttp://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip

I formatted a 4gb card FAT32, and loaded said zip on the card's root directory. Then I turned the phone on and held the down volume to enter hboot.

I waited 5 minutes. Then I pressed the up volume key to confirm installation aaaaaaannnnddd......

I waited. 15 minutes this time. Then I pressed volume up to confirm phone reboot. 90 seconds later my screen came on, and booted into VZW stock!

Oh, and kaiserII101 - I would like to extend my personal thanks to you for pointing out that this was in the wrong thread.... ..... and then not responding. Where I come from, that's called asshattery. Not appreciated. Next time you feel obliged to make a snarky comment instead of actually being helpful, do us all a favor: Don't.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Most cool - glad that worked, and thanks for posting the means to correct it so others may benefit from your experience!

Had a similar thing happen as well a while back ~ since then, I've made weekly copies of my SD card onto my PC - overkill perhaps, but then there's always a full backup of my goodies.

Happy modding!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermaine151:
I'm glad you got it working and I'm even more glad that I don't have the SLCD version of the Dinc. They just have so many issues...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
I have HTC Desire CDMA, I'm running the MIUI rom 12.24 and I'm noticing that in-call, speaker phone, and notification volumes s are low even if they are turned all the way up. I came from cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and I didn't have this problem, the in call volume was perfect and the speaker volume was almost too loud even turned all the way down.

Does anyone know of any fixes for this? maybe a setting i'm not finding or a volume booster? any help please? thank you :)

[Focus General] ninjatengu:
Hi everyone,

Recently, I tried to get my phone to tether using these directions: (can't post the link yet, but these directions are kind of universal)

2-On the phone, go to keypad and dial ##634#, then press the [Call] button.

3- A diagnostic mode screen in gray will show up.

4- Dial *#7284#, and press the [Call] button.

5- A Microsoft USB Test screen will show up which allows configuration of USB Path Control settings (options available is Zune Sync; Modem, Tethered Call; and Modem, USB Diag).

6- Select Modem, Tethered Call.

7- The phone will automatically restart to activate the setting.

8- Connect the phone to PC with a USB cable.

..and so on and so forth

However, when I tried to put it back to the zune/sync, it wouldn't work. I go back to the menu where it gives me the three choices of zune; tethering; and USB modem, and it shows that the phone is on the Zune sync option. However, when I plug in the USB cable into it, the computer doesn't recognize it - there's no charging involved, and the zune software doesn't open.

Additionally, when I try charging it to the plug that came with the package, the phone doesn't recognize that it's connected to that either and it still doesn't charge. Does anyone know what the issue is here?

I've tried multiple times to go back to the Path Control Settings menu and switch it to Zune Sync but nothing is happening to remedy the situation. Any pointers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
A long shot but did you by chance set the Zune software to sync wireless ? You may need to set it to No or turn off wirless Sync.

Settings>Phone>Wireless Sync

Make sure your phone is connected and sign into Zune. Again only a long shot.
[Focus General] ninjatengu:
I'm 99.9% sure I didn't set it to wireless sync. I turned off the wireless on my phone to conserve battery as well.

Also, in order to check the wireless sync setting I need to connect my phone, which I have, but the computer nor the phone has registered the connection. (No sound made on either end, and the battery charge icon isn't showing)

Thanks though! A long shot is still a shot!

edit: FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with mucking up my phone as it did...
[Focus General] jaraya13:
This sounds pretty strange. I have been changing from Modem to Zune back and forth and no problems at all.

I guess a Hard Reset will do the job for you. But I am not completely sure. Good luck.
[Focus General] wspaw:
Do I understand correctly that you cannot charge the phone with the wall charger?

If that's the case, it's probably an issue with your cord or the mini usb port.

Did you make any other changes while in Diagnostic mode? If you're not sure, check out this thread.
[Focus General] ninjatengu:
Yes, you understood correctly. I cannot charge the phone with the wall charger. It's the charger that came with it, so it's the charger that has a USB port. I've also tried using different USB cords unsuccessfully. :-/

I haven't made any other changes while in Diagnostic mode.

A hard reset is a last resort. Although I'd still want to figure out why it happened as opposed to just figuring out how to fix it to prevent something like this in the future.

Thanks guys!
[Focus General] wspaw:
I think the mini USB socket on your phone may be defective. Fortunately, the setup following a hard reset isn't nearly the task it was on WM...
[Focus General] ninjatengu:
So I tried a hard reset, and the thing still didn't work.

I'm assuming this is a hardware problem. Thankfully AT&T has the whole 30 day exchange thing going on.

They couldn't fix it there, so they did exchange it for a new one. The new one works. So yay!

Thanks for all your input peoples!

What android releases boot from SD using MAGLDR?

Phone Info:

*HTC HD2 T9193 (Telstra)

*No receipt

*Still under warranty

*Everything is perfect except a dead pixel

*Never flashed a rom

*Never installed HSPL or anything like that. Everything is official

Just bought a HTC HD2 on ebay and received, unfortunately, i found a green dot i think it's a dead pixel, what should i do?

The seller said the phone was purchased in June 2010 and still have half year of warranty.

Can I get a replacement or something and what information is required when applying for a replacement?
[HD2 General] oida_oida:
i think if there is only one small pixel they wont change it - its just my opinion, i dunno.

well you can

1.) Call and ask HTC

2.) sell it on ebay and get a new one

3.) buy a new screen

4.) live with it (very likely ;-)

5.) only use green wallpapers :p

i guess you shoud try and call HTC... from what i read in other threads u dont need a receipt. They cant do anything else then to tell you "nope"
[HD2 General] Imperator Nick:
It's definitely worth a try, although as oida says they may well say no. A lot of companies policies on dead or stuck pixels is that one is acceptable and you need two, three or sometimes even more before they will do anything
[HD2 General] russpattaya:
Dead pixel fixer

Try this: created by Samuel Larché , so just unzip it on you pc and transfer the exe file direct to your Storage Card, via active sync or windows mobile. then open up your file explorer and run from there.

You can see by the screen shot, there is a joystick mode for moving the flashing dot over your dead pixel. the Bl is for a black background, and W for white. play around what suits you. but better to leave it going for at least an hour to see if the pixel comes back to life? The longer you leave it, the better chance to fix it.

Just hit the thanks button if it helps you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
That can be flashed through Odin?

Im unable to flash any ROMs through CWM or through recovery since I have a problem with the SD card (had this problem after flashing a stock Froyo ROM) also after doing this I cant get into recovery or download through the 3 button combo, used to be able to do it but cant anymore for some reason (I think its also because of the Froyo flash), I have CWM installed and every time I try to flash any ROM it gives me an E:Error cache/sd (Status 2)

I havent been able to fix this issue, so I thought of trying to work around it, I am able to get into download mode using ADB, so I was hoping to find a custom ROM that can be done through Odin, by trying a new custom ROM Im hoping to get rid of my SD card issue (card says its write protected but its not)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Your best bet would be to odin back to stock and go from there. Start back off with a clean slate and be able to use ClockworkMod. Just check the stickies for the proper procedures.

Oh, and just for reference, you are putting the .zip ROM file on the root of you internal memory? If not, try that with ClockworkMod again and see what happens.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
I would have to second the Odin back to stock recommendation as well.

Last thing you want to do is soft brick the phone while it's hardware locked. That's a recipe for hard brick if I ever saw one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Ok thanks for the advice, ya I had it in the root of my internal SD card

When you guys say stock... do you mean back to stock 2.1 or 2.2?

All my issues have started from flashing a stock 2.2 ROM

Do you guys have a link to a stable stock ROM?

I think I still have the stock ROM that I flashed but Id rather not use that one

Thanks for the help guys
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
I am referring to stock 2.1. All the Froyo builds are unofficial. Just do a search in the vibrant Android dev section for JFD. That is the latest official Rom, which 2.1.

Hello,

Description

Has anyone been able to setup a different Exchange Mailbox than the default for username/password credentials in an Android mail app?

What I mean is e.g. a Team Mailbox accessible with my credentials, but isn't the users "home" mailbox?

Example:

User example\samplealias has default mailbox samplealias and has also access to the mailbox sampleteam.

Questions

Is it possible to access the alternative mailbox with the alias sampleteam using the credentials of samplealias?

Any ideas if it's possible at all?

Is there any mail app which can access a secondary or different Exchange mailbox for a username/password credential pair?

Thank you, Rasmusix

So Ive tried a few times to make a custom boot logo but every time i do nothing happends.

So far i took a custom bootlogo and edited the png's, re ziped the files, then using super manager i moved it to system/media and then reboot. The moto logo pops up then nothing.

any advice?

MyBackup can backup apps and their data (choose the apk+data option), but I can't remember if that feature requires root or not. It's worked for all my game's save data before, though.
[General Questions and Answers] afm1118:
save game data

The backup apps dont save your game data. to save your game data first,you gotta be rooted. then you gotta go to data/data in the root and search for the games folder in there, once you find it copy it out. then to restore your data just push the folder back to data/data. make sure not to overwrite the existing folder, delete it before you paste. otherwise it will be coppied into the existing folder and will not work. when copying paradise island i lost some functionality (network access). i fixed this buy only moving the save file(s) and not the entire folder. im sure with different games you might run into different problems, but trial and error worked best for me. also dont forget to fix permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] motobird:

I flashed midnight rom and then emotionless beast. I then wet into the black market and it was working fine but couldn't download on 4g so I cleared cache and data and it started force closing

So I said ok, lemme switch it with the one in themes and apps labeled "working"

I was able to delete the vending.apk with the sdx app remover that was posted in there, but I couldn't delete the com.android.vending folder because I was using terminal emulator and it wouldn't let me remove it

So i unzipped the blackmarkettest2.zip by accident in andro zip and saw the .apk so just tried to install that, but it kept saying its not installing, so I went and redownloaded and flashed blackmarkettest2.zip an the market wasn't there

Then I remember sdx madea backup of the old vending.apk inthe rom so I restored it and it kept force closing when I would try to look at an app in the marketplace

So I think my problem lies in the fact that I was never able to delete the data/data folder

Is there anyway to do that through terminal emulator? I can't get root explorer. Too much money. And before some of you say $5 is nothing to a $500 phone, don't try to count other peoples moneys please and thank you
