bet they think theres been some sort of technology leap and all of a sudden people are stupid, if i was at ms id be thinking "why would they have a hd7 if they where dumb with technology, they would have some crappy symbian phone which is easy to work"

if a new release or update from cotulla s released do we need another activation code or it is specified to the email account
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mskip:
The activation code is linked to the email account so as long as you use that again then it should be fine.

Mark.

Same here. Called MS USA using mig33, got a very nice operator, she only asked for first and last name, e-mail and phone no. I have to wait for about 3 minutes then she give me the code :D

Marketplace is fully working now. Already downloaded 12 apps as I'm writing this ;D

Much thanks for the DFT!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] MattRob:
I just called MS in the US. They asked for name, email and phone (just made those up) and was immediately given code. I use another email account, which perfectly worked with the activation code. So the activation code does not seem to be linked to the email provided with the call (as that one I did not use)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pyrorob:
yeah im pretty sure they ask for your name so they know what name to call you when they talk to you, the email in case they have to email you the code or any extra info and a number in case they have to call you back in case the call gets disconnected...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CrAzYiaN:
Question guys.

i seen posts that you can use the code ever 30 days, so does that mean you have to put in the code again in 30 days? or what?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] GavTheStoner:
They ask the email so they can email you the code (i got them to do that different email to my live account too btw)

Your phone number so they can call back later to check that everything worked well and you dont need anymore help, and also to ask how you rated their service.

I think its just very good customer service on their part. I was very impressed!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rthomas:
I was asked for name, phone number and email. Got the code straight away. Next phone might be a WP7 anyway so no need to tell porkies :/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] s14tam:
Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you my story.

Since zune and windows phone 7 are actually the same department i called the zune support number and was able to talk to someone immediately.

1-877-GET-ZUNE (1-877-438-9863)

TTY (hearing impaired): 1-800-801-1189

Hours of operation:

6:00 a.m. -- 10:00 p.m. PST

I talked to one of the reps who was very nice and he knew exactly what i was talking about when i asked for the activation code. He asked for my name, phone number, email address and I gave him my real info.

But then he asked for an IMEI number... I didnt want to give it to him because i thought they might not help if they found that it was invalid for an HD7.

anyways he insisted so i decided to be honest and i gave him the IMEI from behind my battery on my HD2. After a few minutes he gave me an activation code!

No need to lie!

This is actually the second time i've gotten one too as i lost the first one i got haha.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] makuu:
Depends on the operator, I said that I needed the activation code for my phone running WP7.

She was aware about this and told me that she would need my name phone number and email (but never asked on any information regarding the phone). I agreed but she actually forget to ask me my email. She gave me my activation code few seconds later.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hefelfury:
Be honest!

I can confirm all of this to be working! I just got off the phone with a nice zune sales rep who promptly delivered me my marketplace code. I even used the IMEI from the HD2 and there were no problems whatsoever. If you are hesitant about calling MS, don't be! This is pretty awesome.

i just worked for me im in the uk

thanks i am a happy bunny now with my hd 27
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Callumpy:
I was asked for my name, then asked if he could call me by my name... so yeah, thats why they want your name. He then asked for my mobile number which I dont actually know off hand, so I told him that, he then said that it doesnt matter, its just incase we get disconnected. Then he asked for windows live ID so that he can link the code to my account. He also asked for my model of phone, I said HD2, and then last of all, my IMEI number, which I did give him.

He put me on hold for a few mins and then gave me the code. Done

With all those details, if MS wanted to complain about legal stuff, well... they wouldnt have given me the code when I told them my HD2s IMEI.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
I called in Germany to get a code for a friend of me , she asked for email phone number and what kind of phone .

email (my real one )

phone (my real one)

and the best part, the phone ,( a hd2 running wp7 :) )

got the code in 2 min :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] BadTasteUK:
Just to add to the list...

- I called the US number above on Skype from the UK

- Gave them my true name, hotmail address, UK mobile number and network

- Said it was an HD7 but gave my HD2 IMEI

- Got the activation code within 2 minutes.

Nice! :)

tried calling ms here in the uk and they said i should contact htc. what's htc got to do with anything. it's a software related issue isn't it?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EFHEATH:
called HTC - requested my IMEI number. I have given it to them, I doubt they will get back to me. Will let you know.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceekay1:
perhaps not a great idea to call htc. They'd definitely want to have your imei to check your phone. Except you do the regedit thing then its tough.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceekay1:
Yeepee!!! Just got my key here in the UK.

I think it depends on who you talk to. Called earlier and spoke to some dude who said no chance, call htc. Gave it about an hr and half and called back, spoke to some lady who was lovely and gave me the code. Works like a charm here. Call lasted on 2 mins.

what option do you press and what did you say?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] haxlidinh:
I would recommend anybody considering flashing WP7 that you should request your Activation Code ASAP, because it seems there are some actions from Microsoft to prevent HD2. Just save that code for future's demand.

Do you know why Cotulla, DFT and some developers are still very silent until now? It's quite unusual!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] moxica:
Okay - I wrote down my code on paper before entering it in so I would have it just in case. Now, the paper is gone. :mad: Is there a way to look up the code on the phone?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zkid2010:
Waiting for a call back because the gal I talked to (non-USA) insisted on me being able to give her the serial number generated by dialing: *#06# :confused:

edit: worked using the # generated - thanks!! (2:19PM PST)

edit2: Basically I called the Zune support (which is also WP7 support) line given elsewhere and told the woman that I was trying to login to the market with my Live ID (legit, have had forever) and was getting a message about needing an activation code. She asked first for a description of what was happening, I gently nudged her into the activation issue and once we settled on what I needed, she asked for the phone model to which I replied an "HTC HD7". She made some small talk congratulating me on my new HTC WP7 phone then asked for my serial number. I had not written down the IMEI or serial and just called cold. She then offered to call me back after giving me instructions (above) to type a code into the dialer and record what it gave - the IMEI? Not sure I still haven't gone to match up the numbers to see if that was it because everything is working :D She called back in about 5m as promised at which point I read her back the number un-munged and she immediately turned around and read of the 5x5 MS code to which I replied with the read-back and verify.

Done deal.

PS - Make sure and during the root/Chevron of the rom load and run the connection manager. Not knowing WP7 yet, I was happily gimping along in non-data G until I ran that at which time it loaded up the T-Mobile network APN's etc and I was good to go on 3G/H
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] russpattaya:
No but when you got your key from ms, you gave them your name/phone number/email. OK call back the same number you use to talk to them. Tell them your name/phone number/email. Then tell them that you have lost the bit of paper that you wrote on, and can you please email me my activation code.

They will send it to you no problem as they have a record of you.

I dont understand why some people are using phoney names etc, as this is the only way to get new activation codes.

Hallo @all, after I flashed my HD2 and wanted to Start asked me the Phone after entering the Hotmail ID for an Activation Code ... I called the German Microsoft Hotline and explained the Woman that my Phone is asking for an Activation. She forwarded me to a Man and I told again my Problem. He asked my Name, PhoneNumber and Manifacturer. I gave all these Information (the Real one) and after 2 min. He gave me the Code. He also asked me if He should wait on the Phone to see if it is working or not ... But it did :) Very nice MS, very Nice ...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
Hey i guys I have a serious question hoping yall can help.

I am currently run Darkys v8 with the Voodoo 5 lag fix enabled.

Recently if your a Darkys fan as my self and I love v8 but when v8.1 becomes stable for the Captivate it will contain the new Speedmod Kernel.

I read both on Darkys forum that it is unnescessary to disable the voodoo lag fix when flash over the new 8.1.

As well as on the Speedmod FAQ they state that Speedmod and Voodoo are using the same filing system therefore you dont need to disable the lag fix.

Im just asking you guys if you could give me your experiences and if its really neccessary to disable lag fix then flash the new version of Darkys. (i.e. Voodoo Lag Fix 5.0 --->Speedmod Kernel)

Final note if something were to go wrong lets say with 8.1 because I did not disable the lag fix. This isnt anything a nandroid backup couldnt restore?

Thanks for any help in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Im using serindipity, but it had voodoo as well and I flashed speedmod over it just fine. A nandroid backup wouldn't fix it if it broke though, nandroid only does files, and the formatting is what's changing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
Ya I just figured that out.

But to be on the safe side I just disabled Voodoo.

Backed up kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher

Flashed Speedmod for the battery life and performance.

And also so when the v8.1 does go stable for the Captivate Im not going thru any troubles with changing kernels or lag fixes as 8.1 will have the same exact kernel and lag fix.

So if I were to ever have problems with kernels Id just restore my back ups I have it figured out now.

Thanks anyways
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stnguyen09:
I'm using Perception 10.1 and I flashed SpeedMod straight over Voodoo5 without any issues, but like others have said, disabling it would be the safest bet.
[HD2 Accessories] Zell Dinch:
I'm going to buy a 16GB microsd card from sandisk. I've been finding on Amazon and found these two products:

Sandisk 16GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD Card : £36.00

SanDisk 16GB microSDHC Memory Card : £15.99

I've also noticed they're all class 2 (can't find a class 4 or class 6 sandisk). So what is the difference between them? I'm using the card for Windows Phone 7, so which one should I buy?
[HD2 Accessories] uxu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_Memory_Card#SDHC_cards_with_greater_than_32.C2.A0GB_capacity

as I understand it the only advantage of SDHC is an increased card storage. And im not sure if an SDHC card works in the HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] Zell Dinch:
Both of them should be SDHC (>2GB). I'm asking about the Ultra thing.
[HD2 Accessories] uxu:
Sorry, got it wrong :(
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
They're the same thing. One has an adapter however :)
[HD2 Accessories] joooe:
Ultra means it has higher transfer speeds.

There's also Ultra and Extreme in the regular SDs.

Ultra=15 mb/s

Extreme=30 mb/s

So it's all about speed.
[HD2 Accessories] Zell Dinch:
@apallohadas: they have different model number, one is SDSDQY-016G-E11M and one is SDSDQ-016G-FFP. And I suspect that just a card reader will make that difference in price.

@joooe: but they're both class 2?
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I've tried several different class cards in my HD2, and regardless of advertised 'class' r/w speeds only changed noticeably if I took it out of my phone and used a card reader or adapter like shown in the "ultra" listing you have.
[HD2 Accessories] secoseco:
Hello apallohadas

can you confirm or any one without any doubt that there is no difference in R/W speed between class 2 or class 4 or class 6 inside HD2 with Windows 6.5 or Android

thanks
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I don't have Winmo installed on my phone anymore, so I can't rerun that test and I didn't keep the numbers last time that I did it.

But if you'd like to try testing cards yourself, I used a program called H2test and a card adapter. My Class 2 Sandisk 32GB card gave numbers comparable to a class 6 Transcend 16GB.

Inside of the HD2 however, while on Android the tests take too long (setting read/write file sizes of 1GB+.) I've read in several places that the hardware limits performance as though they were all class 2 cards.
[HD2 Accessories] joooe:
There are reviews where a class 4 card is superior to a class 6 card.

Sandisk cards are just great.

In the sandisk website there is no info about the class of both cards. Don't believe they have the same class.
[HD2 Accessories] secoseco:
thank you apallohadas for replay

I think so, hardware limitation to Class 2 with HD2 although I read in several places that there is more performance with Class 6 or 10 card in Android especially SD Android

I have Sandisk 16G class 2 and want to upgrade to 32G and I don't want to wast my money in useless class 6 or 10 with my EU HD2,

any one use Sandisk class2 then upgrade to class4 or 6 with EU HD2 and get faster performance in read and write inside HD2 not as disk drive ??

thanks
[Touch Diamond CDMA] hantreser:
Hy. I houp someone can help me to solve the problem. Yesterday bought a second hand HTC Touch Diamond CDMA (unlocked from ORANGE), and HTC was in russian language. So i wanted to flash it, because i dont know russian language. Tried to flash ROM, used MightyGroovy rom from here, everything was fine after flashing, but phone didnt boot up, just showing Touch Diamond on screen and thats it. Tried soft and hard reset but nothing happened. I cant connect HTC to computer to flash it again > getting error 260

Is it posible to instal android on my phone, while its in this sh*** condition? Or it has to be synced with windows mobile device center to instal android?

Sorry for my english, i know its terible.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] vahid2233:
connect it to the computer with USB, try installing a new rom on it. worked for me.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Hakim Rahman:
should you try to hard reset the device, then make sure your device go to the bootloader to the Flash again :):)
[Touch Diamond CDMA] hantreser:
Thanks, hard reset and bootloader worked for me, but i dont get this > diference between CDMA touch diamond and casual touch diamond, because i have CDMA version, but rom that i flashed was for casual touch diamond, and as i understand you can brick Diamond CDMA flashing with rom for casual Diamond rom.

Hey guys, I am having a problem with my wiimote on VEGAn 5.1

I had it working not too long ago. Problem is I cant remember which ROM I was on. I really want to keep VEGAn because of the mouse support it has. I have it hooked up to my TV with the Dock and wireless mouse / keyboard is great. Wiimote would be even better to play all the emulators and stuff on my tv.

I had hook up the wiimote using the wiimote controller app but the mappings arent working right. I did the same thing as last time when i had it working right. anyone else having issues with this on 5.1 or is it just me. maybe i need redo everything?

thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] Bit Banger:
Hi, I just sorted out problems I was having with my wiimote. Mine was more hardware related but I did see a cross up in the mappings while I was hunting how to fix my problems. I noticed that even after a default reset to the map settings that map 1 was showing up linked to map 4 or something along those lines. Without resetting mine to see exactly which maps were crossed look at wiimote / preferences / mapping options. On this page you can touch the mapping sets to see their address. You don't want multiple maps possibly using different key assignments trying to share the same address.

So what I'm getting at is, make sure the wii remote is set to the map you want to use without other maps trying to use it also.
[G Tablet Accessories] eddyo78:
Nesoid is the Problem

Well....I think I figured out what it was. I cant get the Wiimote to work with the Nesoid App I can however get it to work with DroidEmuLite (cant remember if that is the name of the app or not, something like that).

So it is a Nesoid problem and not a VEGAn 5.1 problem, since it works with the other Emulator.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] japhule:
Wiimote works for me with SNesoid. Make sure to enable special input method in the "other settings".
[HD2 General] Maeffjus:
Hey Folks,

I'm using my HD2 for some longer time (directly after it was available on german market.

Since a real long time I'm using it with a custom rom (HD2O) - by today I was listening to musik with a headphone and it drained the battery completely.

After I was at my home I changed it to a charged battery - so far no problem...

After booting up now - I'm requested to type my PIN as usual - but after I typed it sense is not loading.

It disbled it and reenabled it - without result. I set the settings from CHT 2.0 to defaults - also without effect. Rebooting also is not helping anyway.

Anyway - I'm quite sure a hardreset would help - but I'd like to avoid that. Any ideas how to fix?

Hope to get an answer soon -the WinMo standard homescreen sucks :D

Regards,

Maeffjus
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
you didn't also happen to install anything (fishing, here)?

have you rebooted it with sense enabled?

do you use chts? if so, have you have completely reloaded sense via chts?

if all no and no luck...i am out of ideas. you already know what will need to be done. :( but maybe you can get a new rom out of it?

[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Just know that even the hero is running gingerbread.

My answer to your question is an emphatic no. I'm telling you from experience, samsung is great for hardware but support renders that worthless after a few months. Good support can really extend the life of your phone, but poor support can bring down the best.device. So with that in mind....i would say that initially the epic is a "better" phone, but 6 months from now it will be way behind the other phones.

I'm just giving you a real answer, not a 25 posts fan boy "hell yeah".

For more evidence just look at samsung's previous android releases...great hardware, poor support.

[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
If this is for your company Shift is the way to go. Future releases of android may hold beneficial functions. That and if a security flaw is discovered samsung won't release a fixed build until 8 months after.

*Edit*

And also if any members of your company goto the samsung mobile page and see all the comments on all the posts, they are gonna wonder why you get them a phone that everyone is complaining about.

The Samsung mobile page is going absolutely nuts....
[Epic 4G General] klbjr:
Well not to add to the pages of rants but the Epic is wayyyyyy over-hyped! I currently own, carry & use both the Evo 4G & Epic. You can listen to these talks of benchmarks & mhz & Hummingbird vs Snapdragon but real life, everyday functionality is what you want. While the Epic is a nice phone, my Evo runs just as smooth. The screen may look a little nicer but its nothing remarkable. My first Epic had a bluish tint to it so I got it replaced & this one has it also. I've played with all settings with no avail. Bottom line, the screen size on my Evo is more noticeable than any benefits the Epic's SAMOLED may have. Support is non-existent, just like on my previous Samsung phones (Instinct, Moment).

Every Froyo Rom from here has ended in catastrophe for me or left a needed function out. The only real world function the Epic has over the Evo is its camera. While even at 5MP I still get a way better picture than the Evo's 8MP. So take it from somebody who uses both phones daily. Go with the HTC Shift or wait for something better. The Epic is better in name & on paper only.

Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!
