The ZTE Blade (or Orange San Francisco as its known in the uk) looks a fairly decent spec to say its a cheap phone. Not sure about updates though.

I paid $255 on eBay for my Samsung captivate. It took me a week or so to find the right auction but that was including shipping when other phones like it were selling for $400.

If you are lucky you can get even a Tmobile HD2 for that cash:cool:

a HTC Desire, hands down.. I my opinion its better then SHS (have used it for 3 days, returned it).. and now cant live without out it!
[Off-topic] Deleted member 2758866:
I think you should look at phones rom potential before you choose. Make sure your phone is well supported and with the stuff you like. Secondly make sure your phone has a quality build. HTC as other people have said makes great phones. Samsung makes great hardware but make sure you flash any Samsung product you get with a rom or you'll hate the phone. For instance I didn't care much for my captivate until I flashed it. It was buggy and poorly supported. New rom made it rock solid. Thanks XDA

If you can find an unlocked HD2, you can use it on AT&T, but only on edge speeds. Tons of support for the HD2, but the X10 is doing pretty well on getting an Android 2.2 build.
[Off-topic] zizux:
I have an X10 running XFree Beta 2.2 it is quite decent but still lacking. Or so I think it is lacking. It is my first android device (other then idroid on my iphone 3g). I got it cause it was free and seemed like a good choice at the time. The X10 devs have been pretty quick to patch and update as of late. But I have only had the phone for ~2 months. I am looking to buy a captivate so I can compare. Till then you'll have to take this with a grain of salt. It seems like there are more devs for the captivate.

Any way to change the order of the Apps in the menu?

/ I mean it should better to view them by alphabetical order /

I think the order stored in a (text) file. If we could find it, we could able to make an application (for a PC, may java app for the phone) to re-order them, and that application could push back the new file...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Check with sTune for instance folder:

Registry\MainMenu_reg.ini

Here are 10 Pages... each are for 12 Apps... maximum 120 Apps on 10 sites.

Apps have MenuID

Where the ID exact stored, NO idea at the moment... So you have to understand which ID is your App. :confused:

As every Page is arranged by

MenuIDx you can find App per count...

First left App on top starts with 0, last right App bottom ends with 11...

Rumours about MainMenu_reg.ini... depend on Firmware Version it is writeprotected. :(

To sort by alphabet it is easier to do it on handset. :)

In my opinion.

Best Regards

Edit 1.

See here for some Screenshots:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916940

As example Route 66 the Navigation on ID 53. Now you could copy this 53 to every Position you want.

Edit 2.

sTune is an PC Tool with the Power to change MainMenu_reg.ini and copy back to handset. See last Tab.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mesa156:
First:

We should have explore to find the connection between the ID and the location where the app stored (in memeroy or an SD card)

Next: we have to pair the ID with the application'S info to read the name of the app from the XML

Then we should do the trick to change the IDs in the matrix of the menu

I found that Softkey_reg.ini use the same index number to know which 3 app used on softkeys as you see below:

#Version

Version=1

#Softkey

SKMenuID0=67

SKMenuType0=0

SKMenuID1=69

SKMenuType1=0

SKMenuID2=68

SKMenuType2=0

It should be changed to any ID of an app
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mesa156:
On the right bottom corner of the first page of mine menu there is a Flash Torch app. As I found, the app id# is 190. I searched for it, and i found under (where applications installed) in a sys file called Appinfo.sys

Registry/MainMenu_reg.ini:

#Page0 (first page)

..

MenuID11=190

Mount/Mnt/Mmc/Others/__@@bada_applications@@__/XYZ/Info/Appinfo.sys:

<Application ID="190" AppId="3w1n2nuqxk" Name="Flash Torch">

The connection is:

(MainMenu_reg.ini).MenuID11 -- > (Appinfo.sys).Apllication ID --> Name

View attachment 495830

Now somebody should make a java widget, what should read the Name from every Appinfo.SYS, and put them into an array, sort them by the first letters, and put index orders, save the MainMenu_Reg.ini to SD card, then replace it with the fresh new ordered numbers

Any micro USB cables that you guys would recommend over the OEM original cable.

I seem to be one of the very few that have problems with the original cable fitting snuggly. Yes, the door is open all the way til it clicks, yet the cable easily falls out.

If anyone has a suggestion of another cable or has the same problem with a fix that I just somehow missed after searching for a couple of days, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Accessories] foofiebeast:
I had the same problem. After about a month of use it just came completely loose and would only stay in if I propped it up a certain way. I tried a friend's charger and it worked fine (likewise my charger was loose on his captivate).

I just took the usb cable from my external hard drive and that one fits very snuggly, unfortunately it is also much shorter
[Captivate Accessories] jayrod88:
I'm also having this issue. I wonder why...
[Captivate Accessories] Jmurph3:
Yes, this is exactly what I have to do for mine to charge. So I guess I'll have to just start looking for one that will work for me. It seems just any other standard micro USB cable will do the trick. Thanks a lot my friend.
[Captivate Accessories] Jmurph3:
Well upon further inspection, you can see how the top of the phone is curved and if you look at with the USB door open from the top and tilted slightly back you can see how the jack actually looks crooked inside the phone. I'm quite sure that this is because of the curved top parallel to the circuit board that has the jack is too tall. And I think for some reason I might need to trim down the micro end a bit on the front side..it looks like its hitting the front side of the phone.
[Captivate Accessories] NISMOFO:
I'm looking for a replacement cable as well...even OEM is fine. The case around mine cracked off one night when I feel asleep playing on my phone. Mine was always kind of loose compared to the att charging cable which is nice and tight. Does radio shack carry cables like this?
[Captivate Accessories] cowboi08:
i called AT&T about this with my cappy and they said that the charging port was bad and sent me a new phone , thats been 3 mo ago and the problem hasnt recurred.

(just a thought)
[Captivate Accessories] MaxRabbit:
Search Amazon for "blackberry usb cable micro usb". The first result should be it, it's a very high quality, shielded cable. To get a solid, snug fit I suggest a razor or a knife to easily cut back some of the rubber around the micro tip. Works amazingly well. I could even make it work before I trimmed it.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
just to elaborate, the specific micro end is called a "micro b " usb connection.

not to be confused with mini or micro a

of course the other end is just standard.
[Captivate Accessories] RDI:
The place I work has a 5' nice quality cable that fits my Captivate tight. They got them to go with the 2100mA USB Car Charger we sell. Cost on the cable is $ 4.99 plus shipping (about $2.99 first class parcel).
[Captivate Accessories] mswirski:
I'm not sure if its quality, or just chance, but I've found that only some 3rd-party cables will work. I've tried a blackberry one that didn't work, and a really cheap one that did.

I would suggest keeping the one you got from samsung, just in case.

I'd like to know if anyone else had issues with cables not working?
[Captivate Accessories] quarlow:
I got a Samsung cable designed for the galaxy S on Amazon for like $6 with free shipping.

I just used a razor blade to trim the rubber back, works great.
[Captivate Accessories] bluemoon1221:
If you look at your cable. The black part and the silver part(part that goes in your phone) is not in a straight line.

Just try to make it straight. And use a knife to cut the rubber of the edge a little bit.

That should do the trick.

[Captivate Accessories] rcarney94@gmail.com:
I haven't read all of the posts so I don't know if someone has already posted a solution to this problem, so I'll just answer.

I had this same problem. If you notice their are two tiny metal teeth that lock the charger into the phone. These teeth no longer stick out as far as they used to. That is why you are having this problem. The teeth are not bent. It is the micro usb plug that is around it. All that you need to do is give it a firm bush on the table. Bend the plug away from the teeth so that they stick out more. This fixed my problem.

When you put it back into your phone, you will notice that the plug is no longer in the phone at an angle.
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
You should saved me from buying 3 more cables. I distroyed my OEM cable to make a jig because I bricked my phone. I ordered 3 sets of cables and they all had the same problem.... Usb kept popping off. So I was just about to go out and order 3 more sets if cables, this time OEM untill I decided to read this tread. It never occured to me that it was fitting in well because of the extra rubber on the connector. I trimmed it down and now the cable snapped in perfectly like it was supposed to. Thanks for the fix!
[Captivate Accessories] NISMOFO:
I'm afraid of buying the wrong cable off Amazon. There is so much out there. Can anyone post a link?
[Captivate Accessories] Harbinger1080:
I know this is getting old, but it took me about 2 hours to find an answer that WASN'T recommending to just make sure the slider was all the way open. For no reason at all, my phone cable just wouldn't hold a real connection this morning... your answer saved the day :)
[Captivate Accessories] Jon2288:
For cables that are good quality and cheap, go to www.meritline.com ....... I have never gotten a bad cable from them, typically I use their HDMI cables but the USB cables are less complex and work just as well. My last usb cable was one of theirs.

Important

) the cab works perfect for energy rom users because I am a energy rom user I based the icons from his rom, so on that note if you install the cab ( Non-Energy Users) you may have to still change some of the icons yourself. Also the cab includes Bootscreen, welcome screen, wave sound, softkey bar, notification icons, toggle switches and icons. Enjoy!!!

Hello, Im stumped I just bought a brand new phone from ebay sealed in the box its a tmobile htc hd2. upon opening it from the box and turning it on the phone would get stuck at the stick together screen. never did fully boot once. then after about 10 min of waiting i pulled the battery and put it back in. Then the phone would only light up the keys and nothing else. once again took the battery out and put it back in. Now NOTHING, wont respond to any type of reset and wont do nothing. wont charge wont connect to pc did I just get a dud RIGHT out of the box? i did nothing to make this happen i didnt even get to the main screen urgh $450 later one month in shipping to receive what looks like a dud. Checked battery voltage its at 3.75 volts fully charged. wtf?:confused::confused::(
[HD2 General] duele86:
bump bump bump
[HD2 General] thecybo:
That's not impossible.

Try to hardreset it, hold down both volume buttons and power on.

If it doesn't work, do you have the phone's warranty? Get it to HTC and they'll fix it / give you another one.

If not... try checking the eBay warranty that gives you the money back, don't know exactly how it works but i know there's something like this.

If all this doesn't help... then i'm sorry.
[HD2 General] Mik0:
Not sure if you're in the United States, but at a T-Mobile store, a brand new HD2 will go for ~$450, and come with a one year warranty.

Hope all works out well.
[HD2 General] duele86:
Hey guys. No I live in Calgary Canada and I ordered this phone to work with our WIND mobile service provider. I tried everything... it wouldnt respond at all... funny though even though it didnt show any signs of life it was charging the batter PAST its rated 3.7 volts. At one point I read 4.2 volts at the battery while out of the phone which is strange to start with. Thinking it was the battery I hard wired the phone to a spliced USB cord to see if it would power up and still it did nothing. I then said this is ridiculous and called tmobile and htc. all I have to say is WOW. Tmobile is serious about customer service even for me not being a client of thiers. Same goes for HTC. both offered to repair or replace the phone as it was brand new and they could see from imei.t-mobile even offered to refund my money which i didnt even pay to them in the first place. Wish we had customer service like that up here in calgary where the city is run on oil money and oil hungry people.. not cool. Anyways I talked to my seller off ebay because I didnt want to wait and he agreed to send me a new one overnight express with fedex and i will get it saturday. I sent this one back already forget trying to fix a problem matic phone. Oh yeah this next one was tested before shipment ;) BUT I did read there is alot of people with this problem and no one has an answer still...............

thanks anyway guys

The battery's supposed to go to 4.26V. And it's good that you're getting another.

Hello,

I'm using Motorola Milestone 2 A953 (Android 2.2)

I used z4root to root it. Successfully.

I am trying to follow the tutorial "How to Import a Private Root Certificate to an Android Device to be Used with Citrix Receiver for Android" (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125431).

/system is already mounted as following:

c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb shell

$ su

# mount

/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system ext3 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

So I don't need to remount it as (right?):

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push cacerts.bks /system/etc/security

But when I try the command under appears the error:

"failed to copy 'cacerts.bks' to '/system/etc/security/cacerts.bks': Permission d

enied"

Any ideas, please?

Cordially.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cviniciusm:
Hello,

I copied the file cacerts.bks using Windows Explorer to the sdcard.

Then using an app Terminal Emulator on the smartphone, I copied the file to /system/etc/security.

I can log on the Metaframe, but it shows another error now: "SSL/TLS error: The certificate validation failed."

So, I think it's time to a new thread.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoneypros:
Hello all I have a rooted Aria with FR008.

Had it running smoothly for about a week until the last couple days.

Had a little over 100MB of space left on the phone, then legit 45 mins later( the phone standing idle) I randomly got the "Low On Space" message at the same time Android system usage went up to 80% + for about an hour or so and drained the battery to below 10% then the system usage went down to about 20%.

Any ideas on what causes this? It happened two days ago and I just started from scratch, and then it happened again today...getting kind of frustrating wiping the phone every other day.

I've used all the cache cleaners, task killers, and moved everything to the SD than can be.

I just find it strange that I saw that the phone had 133 MB left of space...legit hit the power button, then turned it on 45 mins later to find that warning...and having less then 8MB left on the phone.

Are there any programs that update automatically that dont go to the SD card?

Any help is appreciated...thank you!

Which programs do you have installed and do they run in the background?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoneypros:
Gmail, Dropbox, ebay, twitter, facebook, barcode, astro, apps2sd, wifi analyzer...plus the task killers and cache cleaners....

Had them installed for a few days running fine, and then like I said, in a matter of 45 mins, before I knew it, the go from 100+ MB to 9 MB internal storage.

This happened today, and the only program new I installed today was the Wifi Analyzer

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Which task killer are you using? Is the cache cleaner something that runs automatically, too? What purpose does the Wifi Analyzer do and does it do any logging?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoneypros:
Using the Advanced Task Killer...I tried setting the cache cleaner both to manual and auto clean...no difference. The Wifi Analyzer doesnt do any logging, just detects the wifi signal stregnth. Either way this is the second time its happened, and the first time I didnt have the wifi analyzer.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Is this your first Android phone? Why are you running Advanced Task Killer? What was your reasoning for deciding you needed to run it? With the FR008 ROM and Froyo 2.2 using a task killer actually has a negative impact on the Aria. Android does a great job at managing the memory just fine. So try removing Advanced Task Killer and the cache cleaner and see if that solves your issue.
