[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
Well after talking to retentions, I finally got another refurbished one ordered again...I'll have to wait until Tuesday till it comes into the sprint store. Just really sick and tired of all of Sprint's bull****. They refused to give me a new one because "that's how the return program works." I will be checking out this new one fully. I was hoping to get a 004 hardware version just because it's the newest thing but I really don't know if it is any better. I went back to using the regular MMs.apk app because my text messages started working again. Who knows what is going on but Sprint needs to get their act together.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
Everything is fixed. Since I *****ed so much they gave me a brand new white 004 hardware and for some reason the texts started working again. Everything is good in mjhuffer's Sprint land right now. Waiting for the next problem so I can give them my monthly call.

As some people reported this sd card will cause multiple lags and slow down market place and app installing, others are saying its working fine for them.

Does someone know about a workaround?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tkato:
Well I have a Kingstone 16GB card and I can confirm I am experiencing some lags while browsing & listening to music, i'm unsure of the installing speed issue since everyone on WP7 experience slow sync and slow deployment of XAP files, but it is terribly slow.

thinking on getting a new one just for WP7...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ingrdgrbl:
just test it without sd card for some time, its such a big difference

the question is if it can be fixed in some way or if its necessary to buy a completly new sd card
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] malsehn:
i've spent last two nights with installing wp7 on my kingston 8gb class 4 and my sandisk 2gb (hd2-bulk) over and over... my result: the 8gb kingston card is so much slower... not to speak about the annoying lags in marketplaas as described above and the multiple reboots on startup (up to 8 times till it boots all the way through to homescreen!) :( now i'm forced to stay on 2gb until a solution is found, or someone will sponsor a compatible 8gb card (or larger) to me :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ingrdgrbl:
At least the 2GB sandisk works for you, i got 2 of them and none are even recognized
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tkato:
Well I have 2 more cards

one is a generic 4GB i tested WP7 with which was great! but I didn't cofirm if the slowdowns occur after installing apps and adding music, I only synced about 10 songs before deciding to install WP7 on my kingston one, so I can't confirm that it was better, it just didn't lag, I can't know if the lag is an issue after loading things onto the SD card.

The one SD card I have is another Kingston 8 GB, same model like my 16GB, so it would be stupid to even try it since i've got everything configured for now on my 16GB.

I'm thinking about getting a Sandisk 16GB but i'm afraid i'll just throw money and this issues will appear again because they are size related...

The thing is, Does everyone experince slow downs when listenning to music? (which is the main thing I do with my phone) or that WP7 doesn't load apps sometimes? or when sometimes you swype left for the list and the icons of the applications that are insatlled on the SD card are still loading (grey image with a star).

Facebook is slow.

Because if this is the base performance for everyone i'll just stay with my Kingston.

It just seems that everything that's related to the SD card is working on and off.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mickfarr:
The Kingston 4GB class 4 I have is very laggy, big difference with it out. I bought one of those SD cards that where approved as WP7 compatible by Sandisk.

My HD2 is in repair at the moment getting a new digitizer so I can't test it until it comes back.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ingrdgrbl:
im experiencing the same, but as i said its probably related to the kingston sd card, its not the base performance

everything works awesomely fast without the sd card inserted...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gl0b:
Deploying applications takes ages, music in Zune stutters, games lag... It's clearly the bad performance of our Kingston...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] spdivr:
Hello folks,

I have been a loyal HTC customer for several years and I love my Android. But I am interested in the Motorola Atrix that is coming out for it's specs and large screen. However, I have been hearing bad tings about how Motorola is locking down their phones making it difficult and risky to customize.

Is this still true? Will this be a problem with Atrix? Do I need to just keep waiting for HTC to release something comparable?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] naresh9876:
dude, i'm a motorola milestone user. they promised us that froyo will be in our device last year but till now its still not in our phone (not the official one). and motorola has this habit of locking all their phones(except the original droid).

so my suggestion to you is, don't buy motorola phones until they have a better bootloader policy(like nexus one and nexus s). and spread it to all.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] spdivr:
Hm, thats what I was afraid of. Too bad, but I guess they figure they don't need the sales that much.
[HD2 General] Xemeo:
Dear HD2 Gods of XDA,

Hello! For the tl;dr version just check out the bold.

I have two questions/goals in this post. I teach high school science and I was looking for a way to avoid spending >$500 on a document camera for my classroom. I'm on T-Mobile USA and I currently have Android NAND on my HD2.

I'm looking for a way to turn my cell phone's camera into a document camera. Essentially I want to take the real time image (sound is not needed) and feed it to my projector in my classroom. I don't need to actually save the video footage, just have it appear of the screen. Do you know of any apps for Android that can accomplish this? I saw some for WM - but I finally removed WM from my phone...will I have to go back? Thoughts? Options? Opinions?

Secondly, I want to reverse tether option for my phone. My classroom is buried and I often get no signal all day at work. Right now I turn on airplane mode to conserve battery and just disconnect from the world until 3pm. I'd like to be able to atleast plug my phone into a USB port and get some data on the phone. As a teacher I can't really be on FB at work, but still being connected on my HD2 would be nice. Maybe then I'd actually buy a dock for the thing. I saw some older posts about setting up an adhoc network with android but I'm fairly inexperienced - if there's a setting or app now that can do this I think that would be easier. Again, I am sure this is possible, but I just want your opinions about how to BEST accomplish this.

Now...the complicating factors...the mismatching hardware across the board.

My HD2 Running Android

My Laptop: M11xR2 (only has DP, HDMI and USB ports) running Windows 7

Dell Projector: S-Video and VGA ports currently connected to...

Dell POS School Tower: Has the VGA connected to the projector. Runs Win XP and I'd need my tech guys to do any software installations on due to administrator lockdown on the computers at work.

What other details would be helpful? What do you think the best approach is? I'm open to flashing the phone back if it's needed.
[Streak 5 General] pen25:
ok i have been having trouble and cant seem to get around it.

i have upgraded my locked att phone to 2.2 using the qdl tool.

i am now at gausb1a130500 build 10688.

i have downloaded the official 2.2 318 from dell.

after it downloads and i run it. it reboots to the dell white logo and stays there and will not lave that until it loses power or i pull the battery. if i have it plugged in and it reboots it will not start a charge cycle and it will run out of power and then reboot.

is there anyway i can force this thing to run? i have tried to download this several times.
[Streak 5 General] tenorntex:
Have you wiped the Delvik Cache? That usually works for me. You could try to flash either Streakmod or ClockworkMod recovery, and perform a Factory reset.
[Streak 5 General] pen25:
i have have wiped the device doing a factory reset before trying to flash it. same response. havent flashed streakmod and have tried the rom manager rom manager doesnt let me flash it either. will try it again right now though
[Streak 5 General] treylemkn:
Try the 309 recovery image. That's what I used to upgrade to 318 after using the QDL tool.
[Streak 5 General] pen25:
going to try this tonight and see what happens. thx guys
[Streak 5 General] pen25:
i do believe this worked. rebooting right now and it just came up checking to see the verssion. wish me luck

Edit. WORKED A TREAT !!!!! thx guys been trying to find this out since the inital update using the qdl tool back in mid dec.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
In reading the forums here for a while now, it seems like hardly anyone uses Google Voice for anything. This surprises me, since I've always used GV and I can't imagine not using it. I mean, it lets you read/write/manage your SMS messages on your computer (ie I don't have to pull out my phone to text people if I'm at my computer), lets you make/receive calls straight to your computer (ie I don't have to pull my phone out necessarily if I want to make/receive a call and I'm at my computer), calls made/received on your computer don't count against your minutes, and if you happen to still have a MyFaves plan (and I know several of you do) you can set GV as one of your Faves and have all calls made/received with your handset free as well. The only problem I've ever had with it is that it sends/receives SMS messages over your data network, so if you're somewhere where the data connection is clogged (like I was when I was at a music festival recently), you can't send/receive texts. Even so, with all these advantages (some of them pretty huge IMO), why does it seem like no one uses it?

So, do you? If not, why not?
[Vibrant General] beren28:
I use it and have regularly text/mms blocked.

Use it for texting and voice mail.

Not perfect, many things I would like improved, but definitely worth it for me.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I only use it for voicemail
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
I'm curious, what would you like to see improved? Personally, I'd like to be able to send mass texts from my phone, and to be able to send/receive MMS. I know you can send "mass" (to like five recipients, which, I mean, I've never needed to send a text to more than five people, so that's worked fine for me) texts through GV on a computer, but I can't get it to work on my phone.
[Vibrant General] Nayyak:
I use it for international calls, international TXTing (no longer avail.), and craigslist or similar type of communication with people I don't want to share my real phone no. with.

I also use it in conjunction with Gizmo5 when I'm overseas. Sometimes I use this method when my minutes approach the limit.
[Vibrant General] gongonzabarfarbin:
MMS please! It's about time. This is the only reason why I still have to use my actual phone number.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
Or you could use email. Or you could upload the picture to dropbox and SMS a dropbox link. Or you could share on any of the other numerous photoshare sites. There's a million ways around the MMS issue if you need to send some crucial media message, but I agree that it would be nice to have the functionality regardless.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
We need pitcher messages, at least pitcher hosting so other people can just click the link. I use Google Voice but it's not perfect, it's not that fast.. it needs to be faster.
[Vibrant General] Mdtolic:
I just use it for the vm to text. That's pretty handy. I don’t have to talk to or even listen to people anymore! ;)
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
First I love GV. I have it routed to my home via sip, my cell with the GV app and when I'm traveling with the client built into gmail.

Improvement:

1. MMS would be great. Yes, I could use the cell or gmail but... it would be nice if it were incorporated into GV.

2. The GV organization for messaging (both the app and website) is well, basic. I don't get why all texts from one person can not stay in one convo. Makes it harder to find old text messages.

3. I would like to see more way to initiate conference calls

4. international calls could be cheaper. Yes they are cheaper than skype but that is not cheap... On my phone I use the voxofon app and at home voip with callwithus.

5. petty maybe, but I wish I could adjust the time before VM kicks in.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
I would also *love* to have all my texts from a single person organized into per-person threads, and wonder why there's not a simple way to do this.

Need MMS and also we REALLY need an alternative GV app.

Maybe one day Go SMS, Chomp or Handcent will support GV. That would be nice.
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
I love it and use it for my voicemail.

I have a Seattle number that most of my friends know, but upon moving to Arizona, being able to have an AZ local number was a big plus. Now I can have 2 numbers on one cell and not have to update any of my long-term contacts of a number change or any of that nonsense.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I use it, but I don't really love it.

I do not like their voicemail service AT ALL, however I like the convenience of giving people my google voice number, people whom I don't necessarily like :)
[Vibrant General] kemp77:
I use it for all my vmails, and for texting. I may even lower my texting package from tmo soon to save a few bucks. I can block people easily, can set custom greetings for different groups of people, and I can even use my bluetooth to make phone calls via my PC bypassing the need for a big voice package.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I use it for voicemail primarily and its the number I give out to businesses and people I don't really care to talk to so I can screen the calls. I also use it more when I don't have my phone on me or im on the computer

Sexy Vibrant featuring Nero V3 w/Voodoo, and FFC installed
[Vibrant General] SpacelySprokets:
I use it all the time. I like how I can screen my calls with it
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I used to use it but I found it redundant and some people didn't appreciate having to keep up with so many phone numbers (GV, Business, Real Vibrant number). It doesn't support MMS so that made it hard to use exclusively.

Plus, I could do without those services running in the background.

It's nice for when you're selling stuff on CraigsList and don't want to give your real number, though.

I do hate Google for making it impossible for us to take our numbers off without giving another real number, or removing Google Voice from our Google Account.

But a quick phone number change took care of that.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
I use it for texting some people that i dont want to have my real tmo number.I still have the unlimited texts....i've been thinking of dropping unlimited texting from my plan. I wish I had myfaves so I could have unlimited free calling with it...gotta find a way to get myfaves...hope tmo brings it back.

Its also great for using online,for example, Craigslist etc. Overall I think its great and I can't wait for more innovative features to be added.

[Vibrant General] gancho:
I use GV regularly and am mostly happy with it with a couple issues. No mms isn't a big deal but is a bit annoying when someone tries to send me an mms on that number.

The other issue is although mostly reliable for me there are times when people try calling me and they hear it ring once and it goes to VM (it doesn't ring for me). Seems to last a couple hours at a time when it happens but that is infrequent. I haven't had that issue with people that call me on my tmo number.
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
I only use it for text not voice. It appears to me that you do not truly get free call. Someone call you in the day time, it relays to your real number and then your minute still get chipped away. If you are over your minutes and they call you from outside of Tmobile, you have to pay for the extra minutes. It's not free because it just relay the call. On the other direction, if you call out as GV to someone who is not from Tmobile, your minute get drained. If you call out as GV to someone in Tmobile, your minute still get drained. If you don't call out as GV but with your regular Tmobile number to another Tmobile, it's Free...which I do most of the time, so I find that I do not use it much other than mostly for texting since the voice is not really free.

It'd be nice if it can work with twitter.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Um, it's not for free calls.
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
It's not? I haven't RTFM yet...but friend of mine told me it can help get free call. So it's only good for texting?
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I use it for voicemail only, really. I like being able to access my voice mails on the computer, as well as sending texts every now and then.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
There are ways to get free calls, but, as heygirl says the purpose of GV is not free calls. GV is great without the free calls.

FYI, two ways for free calls.

1. search for the sipdroid thread. Only good if you have wifi or very strong 3G (not sure what T-mo would think of the latter)

2. You have a My Favs plan AND an older version of the GV app. The older GV app uses one number to call out with, you add that number to your MyFavs and presto unlimited out going calls. For incoming calls, set GV to always display your GV caller ID for inbound calls, add your GV number to MyFavs and you have free incoming calls BUT no caller ID... The new GV app uses multiple call out numbers so the above is useless.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Many people use it for free texts, I use it for cheap international calls. Used to use it for voice mail when Tmo voice mail was screwed up on my phone....

Chrome browser has a nice plug-in for GV.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I love GV but think their intl rates are pricey. Compare GV's intl rates to voxofon , they have an app in the market which works seamlessly with the phonebook.
[Vibrant General] fldude99:
I recently was in south america and used GV A LOT for texting back and forth to US phones while there. Free when on wifi and minimal data charge when on 3G. Also was handy for VM, as I could ck my voice msgs transcribed on the phone or later on a PC
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
lot of negative reviews on that app. i dont trust it. i only pay 2c per minute
[Vibrant General] OolonColuphid:
My GV number is posted in our company directory at work. That way, I can stop people from calling me while I'm on vacation.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
Interesting, it has the same star rating as GV, just over 4*. Only do what you are comfortable with and as you said the GV price is not that bad. 2c vs 1.3c is not a lot unless you do an awful lot of intl calling and you're on the road. Only pay 0.9c to europe from my home based sip.
[Vibrant General] jmerchant:
I use GV and Voice plus and have groups set up...don't think i've actually paid for a call in a long time (still have Tmobile fav 5 and set my GV number as one of them)...

I love it for voice mail, for real actual visual voice mail (well what i think visual voice mail should be)
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I am unsure at which point this started happening, but I have gone back and tried various notification enhancements to no avail, and am not sure what might be causing this.

When I get a text message, I get the notification icon on the top bar, and I get a sound as Phone Alarm picks up the notification.

However, no little number appears on the manila slider bar to show I have a text message, and S2u2 remains blissfully unaware as well. If I go to the Manila text message tab, the new message is there though.

If I get an MMS, it all works properly however.

I have removed the version of CHT I am using - no difference, I have tried going back to an old Notificatiopn enhancement (the 2011 from the original rhodium, dump).

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted - I shall continue to work through this if I can.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Any thoughts at all? - this is my last significant issue that I am having with my ROM. The rest is really just tidying up.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I think it's a CHome issue; if you removed CHome and Bronze, then you lose the notifications. I used to have them, too, and then somewhere along the line I got tired of CHome and removed it (I just use Today). I didn't notice for months that the notifications sliders were gone on the lockscreen. I did try putting the bronze.dll in \windows once (along with the reg keys), but that didn't bring back the sliders. You may need all of the CHome packages, or at least a few dependencies from them.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Thanks for the suggestion. I am using 28244 but have not removed any of the CHOME or Bronze packages. I do have the option ticked in OsKitchen to remove any unneeded/incompatible localised sys packages though - maybe that is doing it.

I shall try recooking without that option selected.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Good to know; I'm using 28244 as well. Maybe they just aren't in there. They were totally useless, but sort of cool at the same time. I do get the old style notifications, and clicking on them in the lockscreen works.
