[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aPlekan:
Thanks for all your help! works like a charm.

For everyone who is having trouble with chevron unlocker this is what worked for me.

i had alot of trouble doing it with vista, i got it to work once but had rebooting problems.

after i fixed that i couldnt get it to work keept comming up with the uh oh messages.

i upgraded to windows 7 and before i loaded any of my back up files i installed everything i needed to. plus change my registry. and then it worked! so my advice try backing up everything and wipe ur windows. then try the steps agin... or jsut wait a lil longer and the new unlocker will be comming out.

thanks agin guys. defently getting you guys a beer on my next pay day!! ;)

I've just rang Microsoft in the US and told them that id bought a HD7 in florida on holiday and that i was struggling to activate Live services on it from the UK. They just asked for my email address and then gave me an activation key over the phone. Full WP7 on a HD2 for the cost of a 12 minute international phone call.

I just barely got finished chatting with Microsoft at this address:

http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#

where they provided me with an activation code in less than 2 minutes. I told them my HTC HD7 was bugging me for an activation code and played slightly dumb, and all they asked for was my name and phone number.

just go to the chat..tell them you just bought the phone they will give you the key

Is there any way to get it? When i called to Czech Republic Microsoft, they said, that they can't give me one, cause, there is not Marketplace allowed. Can Someone call for me into a Microsoft? Please? Or how can I get it? Thank you, I want to use my WP7 for full. :(

Yes i need an activation code. :(

Although I received my activation code and now have hotmail configured on my phone it still doesnt allow me to purchase stuff via Marketplace. Is it because my phone Setting / About is still saying LEO70? If so, what do i have to do to make it think its a HD7 phone. Anyone? Please. I'm getting bambozzled with reading all these posts to try to work out what I need to do to spend money with a microsoft product!!!. lol

Any one nice enough to get me a code? Im in the UK and they keep asking for imei code.

:(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nealhowden:
tay200k - I spoke to microsoft yesterday and they only asked for my name, phone number and model of handset, to which I replied "HTC HD7". He confirmed my email address to me as I've dealt with them before for my xbox. the chappy took 2-3 mins to generate the code and wouldn't hang up until I received it via email. I'd imagine the only reason for them to ask for your imei is if you are saying its a HD2?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ginbo:
There is no simple way to activate it?
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I think I've got my application done, but it's hard to test.

It's a new SMS text blocker. Runs as a Service and checks incoming SMS phone number to Contacts. If not in Contacts, it goes to internal "spam" table as an unblocked number. If it's not in Contacts and already "spammed", the new message goes to "spam" as a blocked number.

If the new message/phone number is "unblocked", you can add it to Contacts or mark it as spam and the message/phone put in table as "blocked".

Everything seems to be working OK as far as adding to Contacts, deleting message from inbox if moved to spam (why save it twice?) and marking message as "read" (removes notification icon).

I'm wondering what to do with testing. It's hard for me to test it with emulator or sending messages from Verizon website. And a couple of friends are getting pissed at me for asking them to text me all the time! LOL

Putting it on the Market with a 15 minute refund really does not give purchaser a chance to test it (and I don't want to get users upset with me).

I think the best thing to do is put it on the Market as Beta and free. Then just add a check to code that limits the blocked numbers. Then get feedback from users on any problems or errors.

Comments please :)

Well, I see no problem with making threads like this, providing you are too stupid, simple, or purposefully annoying to use the SEARCH on this site. Or google. Either goes for such as simple question.

But when looking through the catagorys in the Hero forum... what does it take to ignore the "General" "Questions and answers" even "apps and themes" forums and head straight for the "development" forum, to spam your stupid, easily self answerable question that is clearly not anything NEAR development... on the forums that is reserved for DEVELOPMENT ONLY and clearly states this in one of the stickies on the top.

Are people like this created purely to annoy and frustrate others?

EDIT: In order to make this post have some purpose other than ranting (fun as it is) may I please direct you to the thread entitled

[REF] G2 HERO ANDROID DEV | GUIDES | STICKIES | Please Read & Leave Suggestions Here

at the top of this board. Yes, the one that says "Please Read" and includes tempting words like "GUIDES".

Another interesting thing about this thread is it contains a link entitled

Does this not look like it may answer your questions and be relevant to your interests?

I will also point you to this other interesting page I "found"

Google: Root HTC Hero

This magical page contains a whole 320,000 links that may be relevant. Indeed, a quick glance on the first of many pages shows 6 "guides" that MAY answer your question. Also 2 videos! Right there! I hear noobs looooove videos, as they tend to have difficulties reading detailed and well written instructions.

Cool stuff eh?

so is there a flashable zip that has a kernel that lets wifi tether work on stock rooted eris..? no custom rom. the reason im asking is i rooted my sister's phone for her.. specifically for the reason to be able to tether. it worked the first time i rooted.. but for some reason it just wouldnt work anymore. like things wouldnt be able to connect to it anymore. so do i need a specific kernel so it would work again? thanks in advance.

Have you tried rebooting the phone and the affected computer(s)? If it worked without a specific kernel before, I doubt if a kernel change would fix your problem.

Hi all

I'm using my Blackstone until 2 years now.

I used the GTX 2.5 Rom

All was well... until one week. My phone can't be on during more than about 20h ... even without phone or other phone usage.

Is it possible somthing change ? I tried to stop 3G feature, no change, battery is depleted so fast.

Do you think i should change the battery for a new one ? after 2 years of life ? battery stamnia could decrease as fast ?

thanks

[Touch HD General] VortexDK:
hey

I ran into the same problem about two weeks ago also had mine for about two years. I got an old trick from a friend who had experienced the same with another HTC phone.

just let it run dry, more or less, take the battery out of the phone in the evening and let it stay out of the phone all night and the next day, then let it fully recharge all night and next day. I did this and now it lasts as long as it did before this strange problem. of cause I have no technical proof but worked pretty well for me and its worht trying before buying a new battery

[G Tablet General] dazzlet:
Hi I want an android tablet but there are so many. I think I narrowed it down to the gtab, the advent vega, or the commtiva n700.

What would be your thoughts to help me decide between the 3.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Commtiva is 7", so I'd say that's out if you like a 10" form factor (which most of us do).

The G Tab is US only and the Vega is UK only. So get the one that's easiest to get where you are. The Vega's LCD screen is a bit better than the G Tablets, I think, in terms of viewing angles. The G Tablet has more kernel and ROM choices now that the source is out and there are lots of people hacking on it. The Vega's stock ROM is nicer than the stock ROM on the G Tablet. Other than that, the Vega and the G Tablet are pretty darn similar.
[G Tablet General] dazzlet:
Where can I get custom roms for the vega?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
XDA has a forum for the Advent Vega.
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
I called Dell yesterday and they told me that the 2.2 OTA update did start rolling out yesterday (Jan. 12) for AT&T customers. They also said it will not hit every phone at the same time and could take the rest of the month before all phones receive the update notification.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Tnx for the update, but, considering how easy it is to get the unbloated 2.2, unless you are concerned about a warranty issue, why would anyone want a bloated locked down carrier rom?
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
Maybe there are some fixes some would like. I'm going to try it at least
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
I have tried 4 times to update using the QDL tool with no success so i gave up on that and just waiting for official
[Streak 5 General] creechrr:
I had several failures trying to update using the QDL tool. I finally tried one last with a different computer and it worked just fine.

I believe the problem I was having had to do with the drivers working with a 64bit OS. In the end I used an old Eee PC I have running 32bit Win7. I installed the drivers and everything worked without a problem.
[Streak 5 General] peterson65:
same here, my computer is win 7 64 could not get drivers to work but went to my wifes win7 32 and worked great no problems now i have 2.2 but i am curious if there are any improvements on official att 2.2 or just added crap.
[Streak 5 General] kellglo:
I would feel better about that news if I had heard of even ONE AT&T customer getting the update.
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
Same here. Not going to attempt going back to 1.6 until late in the month so I don't get stuck there
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
That is a very good point ..... I have not heard of any AT&T getting the update yet. You would think atleast one person here would have gotten it.
[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
If you are a member of any forum about the Streak, no update for you.
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
I just got off phone with att customer dont care errrr i mean care ..... they had no idea what i was talking about when asked about the 2.2 update
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
Rolling out...

I know there are a lot of streak owners but why does it have to roll out?

they have a big enough network, we should at least be able to go to an AT&T store as soon as it is available, and get it. This is bull

not like im gonna load their slow bloated buggy unrooted mess anyway

but im hoping theres something new for the devs to cook new ROMS.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
Don't hate on Dell, AT&T are clearly the bottle neck for their 2.2 update.
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
i got the qdl tool to work on my wifes laptop ... woooo hoooo
[Streak 5 General] carlosjcar:
If dell wanted to really please its AT&T Tied customers they would just post a Link to the update. Hey, But that would be to much common sense. This is not a perfect world. Luckily there's QDL.
[Streak 5 General] sukemecuke:
I tried countless hours(I think about 20+) trying to get QDL to work on 2 different computers. One was a 32 bit old XP, and one a new 64 bit W7. Eventually bricked my streak, using qdl. Took it back to best buy and got another. Not exactly brave enough to try it with my new one, so I am like you and waiting for the official.
[Streak 5 General] ryan562:
I purchased my dell online included with stock 2.2. It seemed a bit laggy and had issues with the accelerometer. I flashed Steve's latest and am never going back!

Damn, Craigslist here I come. The HD2 is awesome.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
This is amazing... Only thing that would scare me is Microsoft finding out. We've seen how strict they can be with their policies, especially taking actions towards your Live account on Xbox... So I'd hate for this to lead to some accounts becoming suspended or penalized for using "hacked consoles" in a way...

Other than that, this is great... This is why I keep my older phones... Of course this is no use to me, but it gives HD2 users new life... Let's see how many of them stop bashing WP7 now that they have it ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
They can't touch you if you have Android on it. That's one reason I want to go with Android on my HD7 rather than do temporary hacks on it. But having a WP7 device, I have no desire to use it on my HD2. It just isn't that good to me now that the newness has work off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I hope microsoft finds a way to block this quickly, just gonna lead to more hacking, then comes free paid apps, then comes a lack of good developers due to no financial plus-side, then comes the OS being just a prettier version of android....
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I was referring to the HD2 with WP7 as the hacked console... Hopefully the people who use it don't get hammered by Microsoft

Be careful, don't say this too loud, I was just attacked by some very close-minded users in another thread about it... People just don't understand, Microsoft doesn't have Apples marketing ability to overcome the blast that will come from all of these hacks. Even if you were being sarcastic, couldn't tell.

But I do think this is good for the HD2 users, at least it gives them hope for the expensive device some of them are bound to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Nah, I'm 100 percent serious. I support third party applications no problem but getting paid apps for free is crap. Who wants to dev for a platform that can get their games for free?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Ask MS about Windows? All versions? Ask developers about any platform? It isn't that big of a deal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
And every one of them continues to try and fix their holes. Unfortunately most OSes had crap security to work off of to begin with and its hard building on top of crap. Windows had fair security and im hoping they can fend off the people getting free apps at least for the Xbox live games or else we may never get ports of our favorite games to WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I don't think it has anything to do with getting paid apps free. Android has some of the best games going that people are ripping off right and left and devs continue to develop for it.
