Nice, the desire from t-mobile would cost 94€ plus 20-40€ for online unlocking. still sounds like a cheap htc desire ^^

guess its the same unlocking thing with desire hd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
Sounds good!

The phone being sim-locked has no effect on flashing custom roms etc.

Hence unlocking the phone will make no difference!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
Oops sorry!

My previous post wasnt neccesary :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orso7:
yeah i know it makes no difference for flashing roms, but i want to use A1 (Vodafone) because i only have a data contract there ^

I hate to sound stupid but I'll just ask my stupid question, why is it important to get your mirrored server link?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
Mirrored server link????? MSL. Mobile Subscriber lock. Allows you to mess with things most folks shouldn't mess with.

I didn't ask, I'm very familiar with CDMA workshop and grabbed it from there. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
See this is why sometimes google searching a term before asking about it does not help. Found a link to MSL relating to linux. <.<
[EVO Shift 4G General] plmiller0905:
If you're rooted you can just download the msl app from the market. That's what I did. And actually I don't remember if u have to be rooted or not.

MSL Reader requires root according to its info.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
why is sprint so hesitant on giving us the MSL code? what damage can we do with it?

i was going to to try reseting the data profile and see if there is improvement in 3G speeds, but they try to avoid the subject when you ask for it

edit: yay for temp root :) just used MSL reader :-D

edit 2: so they wouldn't give up the MSL code but he waived the $18 activation fee :-D
[EVO Shift 4G General] lgmayka:
Best Buy routinely prints MSL on documentation

The Best Buy printout lists a security lock code, which is your MSL.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
You can use z4root to gain temp root to use the MSL app from the market if you need it find it. Just be sure to grab the superuser app too.

Sprint flat out refused to give me my MSL after 7 calls, so I just cheated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
lol 7 phone calls? i used msl reader while i was on the phone with them the first time, they said no so i fired up the market and installed MSL reader. :-P
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I don't think they've ever flat out refused to give me my phone's number. I've never activated a new phone on the phone, always in person. I think it's easier to say no on the phone than it is in person. I've had some couple of times where the employee seemed leery to give it to me. I might have said that there's many ways to get it, I just figured since you're activating the phone now that you already know the msl. I generally tell them if they are hesitant that it's something I like to keep in my records. For the most part, nobody has flat out refused yet. Is it possible they see how long I've been a customer with them so they just tell me what it is?

I don't know how many of you are old sprint timers but my first phone was a Sony candybar that the earpiece slid up to answer and hang up.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
I dont know what our first sprint phone was, but it did have the sliding earpiece and it was on the sprint charter member plan.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
HAA HAA! This was the first phone I owned. AFTER the motorola bravo beeper
[EVO Shift 4G General] dirtbagg:
Yea i work for a sprint call center and they all say refer to master subsidy lock as "six digit number" haha me i dont mind giving it out...and some reps might give u the one time unlock so watch out...just tell them incase u need to reprog ur device or that ur on the phone and dont have any call back number...they shuld give it out...
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Omg, there she is in all her glory!
[EVO Shift 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
LOL It even has the red logo xD
[EVO Shift 4G General] johnnycross22:
I've never had a problem getting my MSL from a sprint rep. I've always just said "I need my MSL to program my phone". No questions, no hassle, they've always just given it to me and asked if they could help with anything else.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
I asked for both mine and my wife's when I activated our phones. The woman had to go ask her supervisor since she said they aren't suppose to give them out. She said he approved it and gave me the numbers.

This is my first smart phone so not even sure if I will ever need it but saw a post in another forum about a hard data reset using the number so figured I would try to get it just in case it comes in handy if/when I get into rooting my phone.

What is it, a task killer? You definitely don't need one and it won't help your battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidrobot978:
No the epic it's like a widget made by samsung for the epic worlds good better than task killer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
You want to say that in English??? To stay ontopic, any kind of task killer on anthing Android is not recommended.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidepart:
If anything, the fact that the Epic runs an AMOLED screen is what causes it to have decent battery life. On the other hand, a task killer isn't really useful for Android. There are some who'd probably disagree. That's fine. I'd still encourage you to check out this article: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/ which should outline in detail why task killers aren't necessary.

If you do run into a locked up program and really want to rage against the machine and force quit it, do the following:

Tap 'Menu' -> 'Settings' -> 'Applications' -> 'Manage Applications'.

Tap the 'All' or 'Running' tab. Find your program and tap it.

There should be a 'Force Stop' button in there.

Yeah...bit of a maze to find it, I believe Android 2.3 will add a "Running Applications" button to the popup menu that you get when tapping the 'Menu' button.

If you're STILL set on getting a task killer, try checking out Advanced Task Killer on the market. You can also do a search here: http://www.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=task+manager

How to Remove Bloatware from the Velocity Cruz Tablet

Downloads and Setup

Unfortunately, I can't post links in the forum (yet!). For the links to these sources, check out my post with the same title on the Slatedroid Forum...If someone with link posting privileges would be willing to add the links below, I would greatly appreciate it.

1] Download and install the ADB drivers on your device from the Velocity Micro support site. Detailed instructions are available on their site.

2] Download and install the Android SDK on your computer.

3] Connect your Tablet to your computer via the USB cable and mount the device

4] Open your SDK directory on your desktop computer and navigate to the tools directory

5] Write down or copy the directory path to this tools directory (you will use it again below!)

Remove the Bloat

6] For Windows users, select Run from your Start menu

7] Type cmd.exe in the text field and click ok

8] At the command line, use the following series of commands:

cd C:\xxx\android-sdk-windows\tools (where the xxx is the path to your SDK directory)

adb shell (you should see a # sign after this)

cd /system/app (this changes your directory to the app directory on the Tablet where the apk's are located)

ls (optional: will allow you to view all of the apk's that are installed so that you know what to remove)

mount -o remount,rw /system (provide yourself with write permission on the system directory to remove files)

Then for each of the apk files that you want to remove, type:

rm /system/app/filename.apk (replace filename with the actual name of the file)

You can change the system directory permission back to read only with the following command if you would like:

mount -o remount,r /system

Copy and Paste

>cd C:\xxx\android-sdk-windows\tools

>adb shell

# cd /system/app

#ls

#mount -o remount,rw /system

#rm /system/app/filename.apk

#mount -o remount,r /system

Is the closest to vanilla (ie Nexus S)? I've noticed they seem all based on Cyanogen Mod 7. While I like the builds, and have the best luck with the GingerVillan's, I don't know which is the closest to a stock Vanilla Rom. I feel like every little tweak's been added etc. While I have no problem with that, I'm just trying to find the closest to a stock build atm. Thanks a lot guys, and keep up the hard work!

Does anyone else have a problem with the car dock randomly disabling and playing on regular speaker mode? Almost every time I dock it the phone will stop and using the navigation on it I need the loud dock speaker not the regular phones speaker. The phone still shows the orange light so it seems to still be connected to the power. I thought bumps may cause the plug to get lose and disconnect but since the orange light is on I don't think its that plus reconnecting it sometimes doesn't help. Any ideas? I'm going to use it for a 8 hour drive so I hope someone helps!!

Mine seems to goof up if I leave wifi on. Try turning off wifi. That seems to work for me. Sometimes if I drive past a house or whatever that has wifi my phone picks it up and it seems to goon up my car dock connection. Hope this helps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
my wifi automatic turns off when i leave my remembered locations so i know its not on. its so annoying to worry about the gps/phone/navigation when getting turn by turn directions. this is because even though the phone has been connected and the light stays on when returning from the long drive the and undocked the phone i found the phone very low on battery. i dont understand why if i always checked the light to make sure its not being disconnected since i thought that would mean its not using the battery to power it. this time i am going to try like 4 apps that say they will keep it in dock mode bluetooth on so we will see. i wish i didnt have to load all these apps and just knew which works but i cant risk this happening in a big busy city.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and repair the dock. Works after that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
will keep this in mind. i noticed another problem. i lowered the audio when playing pandora internet radio but i cannot put it back to loud! ive tried audiomanager and nothing. used navigation to turn it up but it says its maxed already yet both are very low. its so odd that i can lower the audio but not make it louder. ive now lowered it to like 1 bar and cant hear nothing unless totally silent in the car. ive even downloaded some apps to max the dock audio but i dont think they worked. time to reinstall cm i guess.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Did you try the volume buttons on the dock?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Oops, just noticed a typo. My sentence should read like this: "This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and re-pair the dock (via Bluetooth). Works after that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
yea thahts the problem i cant make the volume higher just lower and no way i can get to the phones buttons without undocking the phone. hmmm i wonder if the volume is in the actual dock and a unplug will restore it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
Have had this problem (random bluetooth disconnects) with the car dock since, I think, 2.2.1 came along. Reseting the car dock (power off and on) sometimes resolves the issue. Prior to 2.2.1 I don't think this problem existed. Anyone confirm that ?

*Update* Nexus One died totally today and is being collected by HTC UK tomorrow. That might explain some of the more bizarre behaviour I have been seeing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
ive had the problem on 2.1 but it wasnt a big deal for around town. found it a pain in unknown cities especially noisy highways using the stock speaker on the phone. i got home today from the trip i must take every 6 months and stayed parked trying to figure it out. 1st thing i had to do was up the volume. i found a nice app called a2dp volume that helped restore max volume on the actual car dock. at that exact moment it was docked but switched back to speaker kicking off all car dock apps like navigation and car mode. i just left it in the dock trying not to tiggle anything to reactate it and checked the settings-wireless and bluetooth. under bluetooth settings way at the bottom in paired devices i saw the car dock nexus one. it said it was paired but not connected. i held down the item and clicked connect (also if clicking the item gives you like 3 checkmarks 2 checked but 1st box is unchecked named Connect) and that is how i fix it now. really annoying to navigate through all that just to reconnect the bluetooth to the device. looking for a app that will help with this. if anyone finds it please reply!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flappjaxxx:
When you say your wifi turns off, does it turn itself back on when you go back to you remembered networks? If so disable wifi completely.

[HD2 General] Hahutzy:
Ok, after doing some research, I realize that HTC HD2 and TMOUS HD2 have different connectors for their digitizer and LCDs.

As far as I know, ebay sellers are clueless and are selling HTC HD2 parts as TMOUS HD2 parts, and vice-versa

Digitizers

TMOUS uses a small ribbon connector for their digitizers:

While HTC uses a wide ribbon cable which requires soldering:

LCDs

Note: The LCDs are actually interchangeable in the sense that a TMOUS HD2 can power a HTC HD2 LCD.

However, you'll need a matching Digitizer.

EDIT:

Updated with LCD comparisons
[HD2 General] Hahutzy:
Bump, updated with LCD differences after an ignorant eBay seller shipped me the wrong one.

[HD2 General] thehumble1:
thanks for the heads up. I forget if I checked to make sure it would fit the TMOUS specifically, but I was lucky enough that the one I bought is for TMOUS HD2. Now I just have to tear the thing down. Is it really as complicated as the walk throughs suggest? I've done tons of iPhone screens and know that replacing the glass on the Original iPhone was almost impossible but the newer ones take about 30 minutes. The official walk through uses a lab oven to release the glue, but I'm a bit worried about putting it in my kitchen oven.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
[HD2 General] doorfixer:
Yeah, the most difficult part of the job is to separate lcd from digitizer ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebig88:
Hello All,

I just rooted my Vibrant last night, and installed ROM Manager/Clockwork recovery mod. The last thing I did was do a backup of my device in case I either don't like the ROM or need to switch back. Anyhow, needless to say I'm a newbie to all of this. I've been trying to do some research, but I see an endless amounts of ROMS. I've seen some videos on Euegene's roms and some of the team whiskey ROMs. I was hoping you guys might be able to give me some tips or recommendations on what ROMs to start or stick with. Lastly, if I installed a ROM what happens to my purchased apps from the market? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmolition:
Well here is ALL personal choice. You will notice that somethings will work for you and somethings will not work for others.

I would start with Nero V3. It is a Froyo (2.2) ROM based on Gingerbread (2.3). Again it is not Gingerbread.

Why start with this one and not Nero V4.1??

Well because Nero V4.1 has voodoo lagfix installed by default and TRUST ME you don't want to start messing around with voodoo if you are a newbie. Everyday there is someone whining about their phone not working because of voodoo.

But mainly inform yourself about every ROM and try them out, people flash ROMs all the time just to try them out so I recommend doing the same. And don't try to break your head trying to know everything it will get to you later on (like Over Clocking, Kernels, Under Voltage, etc.)

And you can download all your purchased apps again from the Market (data does not save this way). I highly HIGHLY recommend Titanium Backup, it will restore your apps just the way the used to be before (with data), just make sure not to restore system apps just third party apps.
