[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Trust me bro I feel your pain I had two phones do this, a blown speaker, one had the green noti light go out, first brand new one had the camera lens pushed in. even with all the problems I love the phone. just get it back to stock like you have, call 1800-922-0204, push 0, push 0, enter your account password and tell the rep whats up. get new phone. if you bought with amoled, thats what youll get. I should know Ive gone through 4 in the past week. I've brought back 2 boxes last week and I have 3 more to bring back tmw, at one point I had three incredibles sitting in my room. I have two batteries to send back too. man I can't wait to upgrade to the Thunderbolt. Every one of these refurbs it's something else. the last one with the green light blown out, that trackpad was PERFECT it hurts to loose that, this one is a little pushed in, but what can you do, not too mention the back door wasn't creaky at ALL, and on this on its sooooo looose. I just can't win. so this one needs cardboard behind the battery and its still not as good a fit as the last refurb... not too mention who knows if the cardboard isn't good?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I think it has to do with the qualcomm.. I'm not sure if it has to do with root, but it isn't slowing me down, as long as can get it back to stock then you're golden!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
For those having the issues with their phone/usb/sdcard, are you using the htc cable or another brand? Also do you stop your devices in windows before unplugging the phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ancora76:
Yes using the HTC and now have tried other brands and no luck. Also i always stop every device before unplugging it from the computer.

If i even try to run an update that is on my root of the sd card i get the error....

E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /ev/block/mmcblk1)

(No such file or directory)

E: cant mount SDCARD:update.zip

installation aborted

I just randomly rebooted my phone in the morning and It just mysteriously turned itself to S-ON and that was it cant get past the Boot or recovery. When i do plug the usb to the computer it tries to recognize the phone but just freezes my computer until i unplug the usb and computer goes right back to normal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I can't believe this is happening so much!! I may un-root, and sell this thing and get a Fascinate until the Thunderbolt arrives for sale.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
These threads are starting to show up more and more often all of a sudden. :(

I too think it's a Qualcomm diagnostic error and I'd be taking a huge leap of faith here, but I'm GUESSING the codes might be patterned after BIOS beep codes:

http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=beep+codes&i=38515,00.asp

3 beeps ACD kept getting = reseat/replace memory which makes total sense

5 beeps = processor failure (cpu/motherboard)

5 beeps don't sound good if this theory were correct but again, it's an admitted stretch.
[G1 General] Segnale007:
Hello folks, I have purchased a US T-Mobile G1 from the market on this forum and it was unlocked and rooted with latest version of cyanogen mod. Yesterday night while playing with the phone ( I am totally noob with the G1 ) I accidentally wiped everything back to the stock fw, so I lost dangerSPL, HDBoot and also the recovery partition has been corrupted.

Now with the stock firmware I am stuck with the google account sync even though if I press the menu button the APN editing option comes up and it lets me add the APN of my Italian sim card, but no matter what I do it just don't work, it keep say there's a problem with my SIM card network, and to try again.

Also when I turn on the phone I can see a screen that says Aperture Laboratories, with a draw of a cake which says "don't worry u still got root"

What is that??? a sort of perm root??

I been googling for a whole day now about how to bypass this process and I don't seems to have found any working informations.

Can anyone help me please ??? I am desperate ...
[G1 General] Segnale007:
The only guide apparently working regarding bypassing the google account sync I have found is this one http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/bypass-t-mobile-g1-google-activation-phonecarecenter-781472/ , the problem is I can't just get to install the correct driver on Windows XP SP2/SP3 neither on Windows 7 32bit, I have tried the impossible, but it just doesnt work, and with the default windows 7 driver it can't be seen through adb devices... Is there a way to do it on Linux or Mac ??? Any working usb driver for Linux or osx ???

Does anyone have any idea??? I think the only way to activate this G1 is with a T-Mobile US sim card which I don't have and I don't have chance to get as I am in Italy, any help please ??? If I don't get that god damn home screen I wont be able to do anything .... :(
[G1 General] qwaddy:
Umm - me too,in the same place .

Can't make my Windows (and i tried to use XP an Vista) to recognize HTC G1 as phone, not 'usb mass storage device'
[G1 General] Segnale007:
I have successfully activated my G1 through wifi. Regarding the driver installation, I have went through this guide and I have followed it to letter, and it worked, hopefully it will work out for u..
[General Questions and Answers] flynx42:
Is it possible to hide the status icon indicating no sim card?

I'm using a nexus one (cyanogen's froyo) on wifi only. There is always an icon on the status bar with an exclamation point indicating no sim card is inserted and when I lock the phone it says "No sim card. Emergency calls only. Please insert a sim card." Needless to say I have no intention of inserting a sim card. Can I make those messages go away?
[General Questions and Answers] Moonystorm:
Hi! and no i dont think you can, The "insert simcard" is a Part of the System

But Why don't you just insert a simcard?
[General Questions and Answers] flynx42:
I carry two devices, a nexus one and an N900. I only have one sim card so I used to tether the N900 to the N1. Recently I ditched my calling plan for a data-only plan and use google voice for calls/texts. Because the N900 has better support for google voice, I swapped the sim and tether the N1 to the N900.

On the N900 I can hide the "no sim" icon if I want to.
[General Questions and Answers] Moonystorm:
ehmmm i see The n900 is an amazing device...

I don't think you can, i can make mine the same colour as the taskbar

(cyanogenmod) 6 but i don't think you can on an stock rom :(
[General Questions and Answers] w98seeng:
What if you were to put the phone into airplane mode?
[General Questions and Answers] Moonystorm:
I forgot everything about that! that could maybe Help!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] key-seven:
Hi folks.

I just got my TP2 (bought it at ebay want ads Germany).

I got for 95€ and that's ok (the shell has some bad looking spots and stuff - I don't mind). But what really annoys me is that the QWERTZ keyboard has that T key problem. When pressed it types a t sometimes, sometimes not, sometimes double. I have to press it hard sometimes so it responds.

I have no bill for the device and so I got no warranty. The former owner did not mention the damaged key and with eBay want ads things are different as with the real eBay.

So any help for me? Could I repair or fix it by myself? It´s not a software problem - I know that much. Hard reset did not fix anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] grassroot04:
You are not alone, I got one with a "r" key problem just like yours. I don't use the keyboard much so it doesn't bother me. I did notice that if you press a certain edge of the key, it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JAKISTER:
Check for water damage?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] key-seven:
Solved. Sold the device (as broken). Ordered another one. eBay.

Damn, those smartphones and cells will be my financial ruin one day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RicoATT:

..... ouch....(any way to flag the seller on ebay so to warn others if this person is selling more items online? He should have disclosed that defect)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmc2543:
I could not find any information else where that wasnt from September time frame but i was woundering if the Droid Inc will be getting the new sense. I am currently using the Desire ROM that uses it and would really like to continue to use it if updates come out from HTC.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLKirk:
It hasn't been officially announced. It is possible but highly unlikely considering they are gonna wanna entice us incredible users to upgrade phones and spend more money with them
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizznaig:
Just curious which Rom was it that was using the new sense?!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
One of the "Z" roms I'd imagine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizznaig:
thanks... kinda new around the incredible side of things... so still adjusting to the roms, been on Sky Raider, and wanted to try out some other onees...

thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
How to modify of your dial pad key and background colors.

Instructions:

1: Plug your phone into your computer

2: Open a termial

3: Run ADB command: adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

4: Open com.htc.resources.apk

5: Navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi/

6: Locate phone_keypad_background.png and htc_pin_asset_rest.png

7: Replace with your preferred color choices

8: Go back to your terminal

9: Run ADB command: adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

Your dial pad will now have your choice of the primary and secondary colors.

This is simply instructions on how to accomplish this task. It is not in anyway a request form. Please do not bother asking if you too lazy to try it for yourself. If you feel you lack the skill, well you'll never learn if you don't try.

The fine print: if it messes up your phone in anyway don't blame me... thats why phones don't come rooted
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nvmehaterz:
when u say open com.htc.resources.apk, where am i opening it up from at that point? and am i opening terminal from my phone or pc?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nvmehaterz:
ok, i got to the point where i go in to change the color but dont have an option to change, can we get more detailed instructions? it just shows the color it already is but no option to actually change the color
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
You'll actually make a png of the same size with just a different color. Then replace the current color.png with the new color.png (they have to be named the same thing or it won't work) and then just follow the remaining steps.

By the way, thanks for this pack! Another awesome mod!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
thanks bro.... and thanks for answering that question. I left it out originally because I figured once someone saw the files it would be self explanatory, but I guess not.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] rjhay22:
My thread and included this in the list. Great job once again bro.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Echo113:
???

I'm using cm7 nightlies, I can't find the com.HTC.resourses.APk anywhere! Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
can you please add this will only work for sense roms as the htc framework is only available in those roms?

hopefully this will save the confusion...

Thanks..
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Echo113:
can i copy it from that framework and add it to the one im using?

!!EDIT!! nm. i found an app dialer that does it better!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Jodsfk421:
I believe com.htc.resources.apk is found on sense roms only. Since you're using CM7, you will not have that (.apk) and these directions probably will not apply to your phone.

*Next time i'll read on before posting - :P*
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] [Cruzer]:
have a feeling this won't work any more with sense 3.5?? since when trying to adb push.. saying read only file failed..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Arcat:
Dear ladies and gentlemen,

for a few days now I'm a proud owner of an android(SD)-booting Leo.

I still use WinMo every now and then.

Is there a way to keep contacts and (most important) sms synced? I mean from WinMo to Android

and

the other way round. I know a lot of apps for contacts, but for sms it's really only WinMo to Android and not vice versa.

TIA,

Arcat

PS: Give me something to answer, only 2 posts (i guess) to signature enabled ,) )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Well you can use your gmail account to sync between winmo and android as far as I know, google it there is a solution I think.

Or you could try this out, not sure if it auto syncs but it can migrate.

http://spb.com/android-software/migration/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Arcat:
Thank you,

already tried googlemail with activesync. works fine, but sms excluded.

http://spb.com/android-software/migration/ is, as always, only from winmo to android and not vice versa.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdkinney:
Have you thought about "MyPhoneExplorer"? Lets you sync with outlook, export SMS, etc... Then you could use activesync on the winmo side...kinda wonky but might fit you needs...
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Well, I've been an avid phone geek ever since the original Blackjack's release date (Not as long as some but longer than most) and I've been an XDA member for about 2 and a half years now so I have got a bit of time under my belt. I've had a total of 47 different smartphones acquired through trading and selling. I've worked with WebOS, WM from 2003 on, BBOS (if you can call that a smartphone), iphone (for like the worst week of my smartphone life), Android (was a diehard fanboy since the G1 release date until I got my hands on an HD7) and pretty much everything except BadaOS which was just depressing when I tried it in the store... After using WP7 though I have to say I have completely regained faith in windows. This is without a doubt the most fluid UI I've ever seen and the animations are breathtaking (and for those of you who say they give you motion-sickness, maybe they werent intended for the 90+ market) This paired with the most amazing games like ilomilo and the complete lack of a NEED to mod have just made this the overall best OS I have ever used. This is the first OS I'd say works out of the box and the first that I'd consider paying for apps for (I've already put in over 100 dollars in apps and do not regret it in the least.) Everybody is griping about a few "key features" that are missing but I cant remember the last time I used c&p on a phone and doubt even when its released I'll more than sample it. After playing with this every other OS I go try to tinker with just seems to be slow by comparison. The only improvement I absolutely do hope they provide (which theyve already shown us) is faster app loading. With that under their belt we are looking at the OS of the future and soon all others will just be dead in the dirt. Long live WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimbonics:
I give the OS a 99% rating. 100% if it had Swype.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Dependant on the device I agree. With my HTC surround it would've been nice but with the HD7, Dell Venue Pro, and Focus I'm actually just as quick if not quicker without... the keyboard was about as finger friendly as they come. I currently own all US released WP7 devices except the LG one and that's just because I've never much trusted LG's build quality...
[Windows Phone 7 General] levy9:
Well done MS

Couldn't of said it better myself, great post :)

People are far to quick to pick holes in the OS but for me its simply stunning so i've put my HD2 to bed, if i get the urge to tinker i'll use the HD2 to cure my needs but atm im more than happy to have a phone working so well.

Having shown this to my iphone friends they seem to be very impressed which is no great surprise, i had an iphone a while back but soon got bored at looking at pages of icons!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Well Said

99% for me as well, 100% with custom ringtones. I have had no urge at all to tweak (used to spend hours a day on these forums when using WM 6.5.x), am looking forward to future releases but not as desperate as I used to be with WM 6.5.x. I could care less about C&P and multitasking. When it gets here, great.

My real concern is the microsdhc card issue. This area is a real unknown and source of a lot of confusion and concern. There do not appear to be any "Certified WP7" cards listed, but Samsung and AT&T offer them for sale as accessories for the Focus. They have a responsibility to fix this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
I absolutely love the OS, especially since we've been opening up new features like custom ringtones and customizing accent colors. Not a 100% satisfaction but if the updates are as good as they're rumored to be then I'll definitely give it a 100%!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jtn04:
Great post!. Agree with everything said.

I was a windows mobile user ready to give up on Microsoft and move on to android. I'm so glad that I gave windows phone 7 a chance as this is the smoothest os I have ever used. The UI is refreshing and the phone just works right out of the box without having to tinker with every little thing. Gaming on here is pretty amazing to with games like ilomilo and the harvest. The Zune player is incredible with some of the best visuals I have ever seen for a media player. The Os does have its shortcomings tho missing such things as multitasking, turn by turn navigation and custom ringtones but I know these features are coming in future updates . I'm really excited to see what Microsoft has in store for the os.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
agreed with post. Now enter some rabid android/apple/rim/palm/not wp7 fanboi to denigrate it...
[Windows Phone 7 General] addisdar:
Agreed. I have had several WinMo phones and was about to pull the trigger on an Android phone until I played with WP7. I was sold and went ahead and picked up a Focus. Now if I can just have tethering (without work around), custom ring tones (without having to use a workaround), C&P and multitasking.

My wife was sold on an Android also, but after playing with my Focus, she is looking to get herself a WP7 phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
It's just kind of one of those "Once you've seen it it can't be unseen" things
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
MS++

cannot agree anymore!!!! i love my htc surround. i had a samsung epix before so i've used a windows device. i love how much it has to offer. compared to my friends' iphones and androids, they cant compare. my friend who has an android held my wp7 and flatout said "it doesn't look like it has much to offer." but to me, it has a lot to offer and a ****ton of potential!! wp7 is a new software that just started and it can only go up from here!!

i love the swift movement of my htc surround, its very quick and very sleek. and the apps that i have are great!! with apple or android phones it seemed like the screen needed to be filled with useless applications. with wp7 the tiles are nice size and my phone looks perfect with the default tiles, minus the att apps, facebook app, and weather channel app. quick and easy to navigate. and unlike apple and android, i very much approve of the vertical scrolling so there is no limit to the amount of apps you can put on the start screen. and what android and apple devices cant do is change the color of the icons. personally i am a fan of blue but come st patricks day, those tiles will be green, and easter, probably green again lol, and christmas, totally goin red. there is so much that can be done with a wp7 device that apple and android users cannot see because they are solely towards the software on their devices. well they are completely wrong!!!!!!

overall i gotta give MS an A++ on these devices. it can only go up from here!! great device, htc surround. will be using for the longest time!! cant wait for more updates! apparently there is a windows phone 8 software coming out next year (not confirmed, just read it somewhere on the internet). love microsoft and all their hard work!!!! Congrats to Microsoft for making an outstanding software!!!!!! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
To be honest, I prefer the WP7 keyboard. Responsive and probably the best virtual keyboard that I have used thus far. Swype does have it's advantages though, but I got slow at it after I changed phones (HD2 to Nexus One) due to availably (at that time, Swype closed it's beta).

I would give it a 100% if it had custom ringtones and I am guessing we can expect that soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
though i think they have the capabilities/software already in place, we've heard very little about what is in the coming update, so it may not be in the jan/feb update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
The gushing in this thread made me smile. Lovely to see people appreciate an OS that even with its shortcomings its an absolute joy to use.

Here is a text my Android loving best friend sent me today!

Yup I've got him. He'll be getting the HTC Pro on sprint.

[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I haven't exactly been doing that, mainly because most people I know have CDMA. :/ But... People have been calling my Dell Venue Pro "beautiful" so I guess that is a plus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jhughesy:
I liked the design behind WP7 and how it works but I wasnt prepared for how much I love this OS. Its so smooth, easy to use and feels like a modern OS compared to Android and iOS.

Just wish they would put it on a tablet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
what a refreshing thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I just dont get the hate really... I mean try an OS before you bash it, and I'm not talking about 3 minutes in your local T-mobile shop...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yes, the OS is great, there's no doubt about it. The built in keyboard is totally great, so I wouldn't even think about replacing it. The only thing that makes it unusable for me is lack of Russian keyboard.

Oh, and no satnav is a bummer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toeser:
I also really love WP7. I have the Samsung Focus and find myself playing with the screen because I just love how smoothly the OS responds. I don't really stay up to date with Facebook, even though I am on a PC all day... Yet I find myself reviewing the People Hub regularly.

I think Microsoft did a super bang up job with WP7 especially considering it is a first release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deeken:
I read the title of this post and I couldn't stop laughing. It should read "How I love art though Windows Phone 7" or "Me beloved Windows Phone 7". Come on guys we're all adults here. There is nothing to love about this phone OS. Please, unless you work for MS stop the rampant BS! A lot of people don't like this OS. If we REALLY took a poll I would think that more would hate it than liked it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
is there a no thanks button? really, why post at all in this section? if you don't like the phone, that's fine, but no need to post.
