[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
Hello all,

I recently purchased a T-Mobile Desire HD. I got it SIM unlocked and then managed to create a goldcard and used it to flash a HTC stock ROM, which is working fine. What I'd like to know is whether the phone is now CID unlocked or whether I'll need to use the goldcard again to update the firmware? I'm aware that I could simply try confirm this by flashing a stock ROM again, but I've already entrenched myself into the phone. Also, will I be able to get OTA updates?

According to the Software Information screen, I have the following:

Android version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1, Wed Dec 1 17:09:51 CST 2010

Build number: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys

Software number: 1.72.405.3

Browser version: WebKit 3.1

Thanks

Hello! I haven't posted anything for along while :D

anyways - I'm looking for an app which starts up GPS! - I remember some ROM's having it cooked in. The UI of the app was very simple(white background and some blueish outlines), and the only thing it did was connect to GPS satellites a lot faster than any GPS navigation software.

I'm in need of the app but I have forgotten the name of it - could someone, who recognizes the app I'm talking about, post the name of it, or link, if available!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] willcor:
could it be the ... "HTC GPS TOOL".......?

( it has blueish icon /outline ? as described, by you )

take a look at these links,if it is in fact what you looking for ?

(second link has HTC GPS TOOL (cab )for hd

Hi,

I'm new to NC and wanted to get a refurbished NC from BN. The one listed on eBay looks white but on BN website it looks grey to me.

Wonder if it is the latest version or if any that can be rooted for installing android 2.2 apps?

Here is the ebay link: (I can't post the link)

Thanks ... :):):)

Update: I've figured that the one on eBay is not color. Sorry for the post.

So you can't get into recovery mode while the phone is on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepsch:
The only way is to (re-)boot.

Recovery mode requires: the (file)system is not in normal use by apps or user.

It's like replacing the sparks at the engine of your car. It's not possible while engine is running and the engine bonnet is closed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
turn the phone off wait for it to vibrate or the LED's to go go off. Then Hold Vol Up + Home Button +Power all at the same time when you see the boot screen (black and white text saying Samsung Galaxy S I9000) let go of power and keep holding Volume and Home and it should boot into recover mode.

Be care full if you hold the home button to long it selects reboot device and you have to do the above again.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyppc:
My company pays for vvm and i have grown to like it. I know most here use Google voice, but I really don't like it. Plus, vvm is already paid for.

Questions....

1. How come I can't get vvm to work with any of the custom ROMs? I have tried to move the stock vvm.apk file via root explorer, adb, and even used the kitchen and cooked it in. Still won't work.

2. If this is a framework thing. How can I fix it? Can I change something in the apk to work with a framework of another Rom?

3. How come none of the Rom makers put it in their ROMs? They put other apps in there that people just remove. It's easier to remove unwanted apps than to install them sometimes.

4. Am I the only one on xda that uses vvm?

Thanks, Cody
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormDoes:
I believe most don't included it because it's a paid app and technically it's not allowed. I'm pretty sure you're right, it is a framework issue. The problem being you can't use VZW's VVM on EVO framework because technically it would be Sprint's VVM. I feel your pain, though. I got way too attached to CityID and no dev includes that in their ROM's or even as an extra on the SD card. I was lucky enough to find a free replacement on this website. Hopefully someone with more experience than me can help you out. Best of luck, sir.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacifik:
Theres a free version of something similar to cityid in the theme section. It's called city caller id.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mygraine:
Google voice works well

And no, you are not alone, I can't use z roms because vvm is make or break for me...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuccia:
Try making this change to the build.prop and see if the VVM app from the market works.

Change:

# Set Horizontal VVM = true and ro.HorizontalBUA = true for Incredible#C Verizon build

# Then Verizon VVM/BuA program can check this property to known if there is a Native VVM/BuA in ROM

ro.HorizontalVVM = true

ro.HorizontalBUA = true

To:

# Set Horizontal VVM = true and ro.HorizontalBUA = true for Incredible#C Verizon build

# Then Verizon VVM/BuA program can check this property to known if there is a Native VVM/BuA in ROM

#ro.HorizontalVVM = true

#ro.HorizontalBUA = true
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phre@k:
I think you mistyped, it should be

From:

# Set Horizontal VVM = true and ro.HorizontalBUA = true for Incredible#C Verizon build

# Then Verizon VVM/BuA program can check this property to known if there is a Native VVM/BuA in ROM

ro.HorizontalVVM = true

ro.HorizontalBUA = true

To:

# Set Horizontal VVM = true and ro.HorizontalBUA = true for Incredible#C Verizon build

# Then Verizon VVM/BuA program can check this property to known if there is a Native VVM/BuA in ROM

#ro.HorizontalVVM = false

#ro.HorizontalBUA = false

after making these changes reboot your phone and download "visual voice mail" from the market
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuccia:
If you comment out the FALSE values you are essentially changing nothing from what I typed. I believe if you just comment those two lines out it should work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyppc:
i have been thinking the same thing for a while now. i saw those values in the build prop a while ago when i was snooping. i have yet to try.

i will do both... comment out first time and the second i will leave it in, but with a false.

i was thinking false, but i'm just a plumber. lol.

Thanks Guys, Cody
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoZZeR999:
Any rom where VVM doesn't work, I change ro.HorizontalVVM to false and it works. I have tested it on MIUI, Z Roms and EVO Roms. This fixes it on all of them. You really only need to change

ro.HorizontalVVM = true

to

ro.HorizontalVVM = false

Never tried it that way, time to experiment some, thanks for the tip :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hax:
I'm not trying to troll or anything, but why is vvm a big deal? Google Voice is free and your voicemails go straight to email. Free and it integrates with Google... seems better. I could never justify paying extra just to look at my voicemails.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehoovie:
This is a re occurring question and there are already many posts asking the question and providing answers. Maybe we could get them merged into one thread?

The way to enable the market version is to use the method to edit the build.prop setting to read false for the vvm setting. Additionally the vvm.apk files from the stock Rom are different than the market version as it is designed to integrate with HTC Sense UI. In the stock version I know there are extra buttons in people, contact and phone views. But I do not use this service and could not say the extent of integration. This usually would require rebuilding the app for each ROM.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyppc:
i was able to get vvm to work. i just added the # in front... for example...

#ro.HorizontalVVM = true

#ro.HorizontalBUA = true

then i was able to install vvm from the market. i wasn't able to use the vvm.apk from the stock incredible rom. the stock version gives you the unread count on the icon. i like this version, but was at least able to get a decent version installed. the market version is better than google voice at least. at least for me.

Thanks everyone for your help, Cody

if anyone figures out how to get the stock version installed, let me know and or post here. the market version will work for now.

its weird how the market version was able to be installed on a non version framework rom, but the stock version wasn't. there doesn't seem to be any stock verizon framework roms available anymore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mygraine:
I have working vvm on receptive revolution. I simply went to Rom manager and to virtuous and then to revert and installed to revert to inc mms and now it works.

The reason Google voice is not good enough for me is that one time it missed a voicemail and cost me a job. Running my own business I cannot afford to miss a voicemail over not having to pay for an app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mygraine:
You need to have the stock vvm app in data/app and system/app and them flash the revert to inc mms from the virtuous download area in rom manger, for this trick to work.

Doesn't work on z roms :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
The VVM.apk must be in /system/app only and requires the stock dinc Mms.apk, a couple other apks that no one usually removes, and dinc framework (for now) to work. You can get it to work on any rom with this combo.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
Just tell your company that they can get visual voicemail for free by using google voice. They will give you cost savings a year award! Think if you save them $3 a month per line, depending how many people they cover, that could be a bunch of money.

I have a droid charge on VZW I had to install 2 apks from the original rom but my VVM service is working correctly.

i flashed WP7 today, everything went smoothly, and it seems nice and fast but it keeps popping up a message sayng that i don't have enough storage space and that i should delete some music/photos. obviously there's not much to delete so i assume that I'm either doing something wrong or the current build that's available out there can't access all the storage it should have been able to..

any ideas?

I have the same issue - Zune tells me that 83MB of memory is available, and 0MB is free. I have a 2GB card in the phone, so I suspect it's not picking it up. I hadn't formatted the card or anything, so perhaps I missed a step towards making it work..?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Barguast:
I figured it out - the first time I'd booted into WP7, I took the SD card out since it seemed to cause MAGLDR to attempt to boot into an old Android port. It seems WP7 will only use an SD card if it was present on the first boot. Reinstalling WP7 and keeping the SD card in for the first boot seemed to do the trick!

I don't know if there is an easier way to tell WP7 to detect an SD card, but this worked for me. Of course, it does involve resetting everything all over again, but at least the activation code works the second time too!

[Windows Phone 7 General] AverGo:
Took the following quote from http://windowsphonehacker.com/thought_why_activating_your_htc_hd2_is_a_bad_idea-01-14-11.php

So my thoughts are thinking we were going to get an upgrade from Microsoft to take our HD2's from Win mobile 6.5 to 7. They were talking about a new os way back when the HD2 came out.

Great I thought, sold my TytynII paid T-Mobile £200.00 with an 18 month contract (Ouch). And guess what NO UPGRADE, instead HTC make HD7 using the same hardware with a different case(No access to SD card), just to keep MS off their backs and hey we'll throw in a little back stand to keep you happy.

What BullSSH$$@t, It's not like I can go and buy a retail, OEM or Upgrade of the new OS. So if this means tricking Microsoft into giving me a license key. tough I'll sleep well tonight.

Glad to get this rant off my chest.:o
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I honestly bought an hd7 and I dont remember having a microsoft key anywhere...and there were some users prior to the hd2 thing that couldn't access live =/
[Windows Phone 7 General] CrAzYiaN:
We all know there gonna catch up to this, but take advantage now and get your key meanwhile this all happens.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Every device that ships with WP7 should already be pre- or activated during the first setup, well WP7 is not being shipped with HD2, and you are basically exploiting MS activation service.

If you know of CyanogenMod Team Douche, they are basically cooking their own distribution of Android, in the earlier days they were packaging their release with Google apps, it didn't sit well with Google, and they had requested CM remove Google apps from their build tree. The reason is that every OEM who decides to issue a device running an Android flavor is getting the OS for free, but have to pay loyalty to include access to the Market.

With the recent developments around WP7 on HD2, one could easily see why MS might not be too happy about it. OEM's pay roughly $10 in licensing fees r per device to MS to put WP7 on their offerings, well HD2 now becomes a device that got it for free.

Seeing how quickly MS moved to shut down ChevronWP7 tools, and actually patching their OS in the next update to prevent unlocking with ChevronWP7 tools, they might incorporate counter measures to prevent HD2 devices running WP7 from access to their Live services, etc.

On the bright note, once it has been hacked it will only be a catch up game between MS and the enthusiasts :) - see Apple vs IPhone Dev Team.
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
good little article! i agree with it, not sure i agree with your opinion though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Nah Cyanogen Mod wasn't in trouble for that. Google was just *****ing about source code sharing. Android is free, Google Apps just need approval.

Also they pay Microsoft $15 usd per license per phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vista1984:
agree, never heard of a loyal fee for the market..android is totally free...

MS do not help us upgrade to WP7,,then we do it ourselves...

whenever MS sell the activation code for let's say $30,,i would like to get one right away.

hacking the wp7 in hd2 should not affect the “Genuine” wp7 phone user (now we can say the keys are not unique to each phone.)

and the problem in the future would be the catch up game between MS and dft(?),, the situation could be more difficult than the one in IPHONE. (iphone sales is increasing. hd2 is almost out of shaves.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Android as an OS is free, however to provide the Market access OEM's with carriers have to pay Google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ nah, just a myth. You just have to follow Google rules and be approved for the use of Google apps. Its free. Such as the device must be able to make and receive calls in order for it to be approved for the Google market app

The hammer will come down hard on this one. People are basically screwing MS and HTC out of money.

Your screwing MS out of licensing fees and HTC out of new device sales.

I'm willing to bet MS is preparing to take action right now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vista1984:
ouch,,,:):):) i do not deny that there is no direct benefit for MS and HTC..

but when it comes to the advertisement or marketing.. we never know..

or would we hd2 users buy more app and music from marketplace?

or is it a big price gap between brand new hd2 and hd7?

..........

it really depend on how manufacturers think.

they don't need to worry about if another "hd2" case will come up,, this phone is real special one
