[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
Ok I have done that, Odin says File analysis, Get pit for mapping, Firmware update start, Modem.bin

It just sits there...

It shouldn't take long to flash a modem.bin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
I have ODIN. Trying to flash KA6 modem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman818:
Do you have a froyo rom already installed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegaspin:
This should be in the Q&A section probably.

According to the superb Vibrant Modem reference page:

Just extract and load into phone section and Flash
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzzz:
Find the modem that uses clock work recovery, put in internal memory, reboot into recovery and flash "zip from sd" and locate your file...

Make sure battery is not low...have fun....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
Yeah I'm running KA5 right now and wanted to add the KA6 Modem.

I have the KA6 Rom sitting here. I might just load the whole rom if the Modem flash go threw.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzzz:
Don't you have clock work recovery? I find it easier with it...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
No I don't have clock work. I've Just tryed flashing the KA6 rom and I'm getting the same issue as with the modem. Its just hanging here and not doing anything. If I unplug my phone and try booting it. I get a phone to computer icon on the screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzzz:
I never use odin so not much help...good luck tho...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinwrx:
Now the KA6 rom is going threw.. WTF I have never had a problem flashing before especially with a modem.bin..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dligon:
you can dl a program called 7zip. you can delete the modem bin in the rom you wanna flash and then replace it with the one you do and it zips it back up and you can flash it that way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrizz:
FYI modems are flashed through Phone section in odin....

no pit....

and to the other people.

if his phone froze during odin, he's most likely not going to be able to get into Recovery mode.

so

USE ODIN and put modem.bin in the phone section and flash.

Ok, I don't know much about writing programs and apps but i got some cool idea, and I really like to see some one makes it happened. I know USB host mode is quite possible on some android devices, if not on all. Problem usually is powering external device by phone. What about DSLR cameras? I don't think they are powered by USB host when plugged in (not sure). But why to do all of this?

My dream is I will will be able to see pictures on better screen, better resolution. Controlling camera through phone on USB cable would give me a chance to take shoots from impossible angles, geotagging, uploading pictures to social services, and most importantly to agent or agency. Also using phone as additional storage in case of lack of memory on camera card. As a photographer I would give a fortune for such a thing.

If some one will develop such app, I would like to be one of testers ;)

Either that or they just rebranded and renamed themselves Motodouchea.

I am glad Viewsonic didn't lock our G Tablets down.
[G Tablet General] tenshino:
I doubt it, considering how hard they made it for the XDA guys to root the DroidX. My guess is we're going to be seeing more of these hardware "anti-root" chips on future Motorola devices.

Pretty stupid of them, really, considering the huge percentage of the Android population (like myself) that regularly try out different ROM's and such. You would think they would be more concerned with making the hardware sale than making sure you were stuck with MotoBlur.

It just goes to show that Motorola really isn't listening to it's customers, and that's a shame. The Xoom looks pretty awesome, but if it's as locked down as I expect it to be you can count me out. One of my favorite things about my G-Tablet is how easy it's been to "tinker" with it. And I can attest that the things are almost impossible to "brick". Thought I killed mine a couple of times, but it just took a little time hacking away at it and it's always come back to life :)
[G Tablet General] bittrix:
Away put your weapons...

The comment that's going viral through the Android community was just a poorly-thought-out blurt from a guy at Motorola. Before we break out the sandblasters and flamethrowers, remember that "the guy" has a boss... who probably issued their almost-an-apology soon after...

do not buy motorola

look how they are making fun of the defy owners

i bought one and it had the dead speaker problem, then when i could think of anything worse than a phone that cant make calls, a beautiful green stuck unremovable pixel apeared on the screen, i sold it
[G Tablet General] cshehan:
Is this even newsworthy?? Motorola is nothing if not famous for locking down their phones, especially those running on Verizon's network. I can recall bricking an old Moto flip phone, simply trying to add some custom ringtones to it. Personally these days I avoid Moto altogether, I just assume anything they create will end up locked down and crippled. There are gonna be so many other honeycomb tablets that I am uninterested in anything that will be locked down like an iPad is. (And yes I have an iPad, which spends most of it's time being used for Netflix and Angry Birds.)
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm reading that the minimum is $800, but I doubt that's correct. They wouldn't be crazy enough, would they? Are there that many people forecasted to be willing to shell out an extra $400 for basically the same guts as the VS + 3G/4G and a better screen? I suppose people buy the iPad and that doesn't have 1/2 the features so anything's possible.
[G Tablet General] atomicWAR:
Not in a rush to buy a locked down boot loader. No custom roms or recoveries....no thank you.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
If the bootloader does not seal it as a bad buy, the reported $800 retail price should (Neo, due to the rationale below- the price may be correct)

I expected it to be high, due to the phone price model. That is why phones are so high, due to carrier pricing practiced by all channels. They NEED you to buy the data plans and get locked in as a revenue stream- hence crazy a55 retail prices.

You would think Motorola and Verizon would learn from the Galaxy Tab debacle. It STILL does not sell well and is cheaper than the Xoom's reported price.

Samsung talked smack about over a million sold, but that was sell IN to retailers and not sell THROUGH to actual end users.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
just crazy..
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I saw the same post from engagdet, and still no word from verizon or Moto. One thing that I can be 100% sure is that I won't buy it.. it is crazy to pay $800 dollars for it.. and I can get the gtab for less than $400. Yes, the screen sucks + missing some sensors..
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Even if that $800 is the unsubsidized price, it's unrealistic IMHO.

Jim
[G Tablet General] cbmoore9:
$800 is way too high.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
It is, but guess what? It could be that we're just spoiled right?

I've been looking into other tablets supposed to be releasing Q1 and Q2 and they're all way higher than our VS with essentially the same insides (tegra 2/512-1GB RAM/8-16GB storage).

And to think, these things don't even have keyboards, CPUs or Graphics engines that can run heavy games and they're coming in more expensive than laptops that can/do! I know smaller generally = cost more but I dunno man, I call shenanigans; equally odd that all the netbooks that were 4-500 bucks are now almost being given away for 250-300 (I'm looking at you Dell and HP).
[G Tablet General] cbmoore9:
You're right, I'm spoiled by the low cost and the great performance of the gtab, and fantastic support in this forum. A better screen would be nice but not worth the added couple hundred dollars. I'm good for a year anyway.

[Touch HD Accessories] ApkFiles.com:
These are old, I kept an eye on them since I got the device. I have 4 or more silicone cases (most suck) and 2 plastic cases that suck even more :(

A bit off-topic:

The cases like OtterBox for Galaxy Tab if you try to get it from eBay price is just a bit lower and it comes without the clear plastic cover, I asked Otter and they said they never made them without it. My guess is that these are fake (from reputable power sellers).

Bad Reception on All Networks Tried Compared to Older Nokia & Sony Ericsson Phones

I just thought I would post my issue here with my Desire HD. I will post updates following warranty. If anyone has similar issues with their handset please feel free to mention it here too. So far I've found a couple of comments googling about bad reception using a Desire HD when compared to an older phone. The girl I spoke to at HTC Australia said she had not heard anything about this before and said she believed it was an isolated issue.

I am experiencing very poor 2G & 3G reception on my Desire HD. I have played with all network settings including turning off Wi-Fi and selecting the network manually. I've also tried multiple radio versions, multiple ROM versions and factory resets and yes the issue was there to begin with and still is happening now after I've restored my ROM and radio back to stock. Compared to a much a older Sony Ericsson W660i and some other Nokia phone of the same age they all get much, much better reception. This is in the same room of the same house. Using sim cards from Telstra, 3, and Vodafone in Australia. The biggest change noticeable is obvious using 3 and Telstra SIM cards in the Desire HD. The old Nokia and Sony Ericsson keep a rock solid full reception bars. The Desire HD struggles around 1 or two bars. Often going to no bars, sometimes getting as high as 3 bars only for a moment and sometimes going to X bars meaning completely no reception. Using the Vodafone SIM card I get equally crappy reception but when I put the Vodafone SIM card in the Nokia or the Sony Ericsson it is not rock solid full bars but usually only just a bit bellow full. HTC have suggested a factory reset and a warranty. I have complied a complete guide to reset my phone back to factory stock ROM, settings, htboot, S-on ect. Which is here if anyone needs it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920876

Lastly to anyone who didn't know HTC Australia informed me that if warrantied during the first 28days of purchace and they find an issue they just replace the phone. After 28days they only repair the phone. I will taking my phone in today to get the full replacement.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Could be bad SIM cover antenna contact. Without it you'll not get good reception at all.

Also DHD does not support all HSPA bands but you probably knew that. At least on Telstra GSM any DHD model should get full reception.
[Desire HD General] leppie:
That's nice. In South Africa we got 7 days... I had to send mine in on day 11. Been waiting for almost a month for the phone to come back, but it should be any day now (holding thumbs, touching wood, etc).
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
Yeah I did know that. Same as my Sony Ericsson W660i really. The Sony only runs on the 2100Mhz UMTS (3G) band along with the standard quad band GSM (2G). It gets full bars on Telstra & 3 but my DHD doesn't :(

Where is the antenna exactly? I was guessing the antenna is around the middle of the back roughly coz cupping my hand across there will make the Wi-Fi drop a little. Is it really got a connector in the plastic cover plate that covers access to the MicroSD Card and SIM Card that affects the antenna?
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
The antenna in inside the botom plastic sim cover.

IT is molded in the cover and has 2 connectors where the cover and the main body of the phone make contact
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Indeed, and when I take the SIM cover off I can barely get reception near a cell tower.

The battery cover also has an antenna in it, however I think it's for Wifi and BT.
[Desire HD General] jamdog30:
have you tried taking the sim card out and wiping the contacts clean and doing a reset i.e. battery out reset. This was happening to me when I got mine and this fixed my issues.
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
^^ Yeah no dice. Cleaning the SIM card does nothing. I also used multiple SIM card of different carriers.

I've just posted a new thread with videos as the brand new replacement Desire HD still has reception issues and I've found it has a surprisingly similar "death grip" issue that plagued the iphone 4.

Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10842571#post10842571
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
All phones have a similar death-grip issue. But have you ever dropped a call on your DHD while holding it? Mine's similar, but I'm yet to drop a call or data session.
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
^^ I'm sorry I cannot answer that question as ever since got the phone with this SIM card I've been waiting for Vodafone to get back to me to change over my existing phone number so I've put on hold to use this Vodafone SIM card to make any calls or to use data. I can't believe that many years after the Australia wide policy to be able to keep your phone number that Vodafone are making a stink about it being such an issue to swap my number over. So in short I haven't been using the new SIM card and only been using Wi-Fi till because I want to wait till it's transferred to my old number. I would imagine holding the phone vertically as shown that web browsing on zero bars wouldn't be great. I would also guess that once I move to an area with even less reception that it would drop out. Again this is just my educated guess. Others will probably have more experience on this.

Secondly yes I can understand that maybe all phones have a particular death grip hold (depending on where the aerial is) that will cause reception to drop however I do think that this is bad planning with this HTC phone. Being a touch screen phone I unusually hold the phone in my left hand as in the video for general application and web surfing use. The old Nokia and Sony Ericsson I'd really have to try hard to hold my hand strangely to get it to drop reception.

Again please keep in mind I'm not against you guys. I'm only new to this phone. I realise it's one of the best on the Australian market. Hell I love this phone and have bought into a 24month contract. I plan to keep it and I only wanted to show you what I've found and hopefully if others have seen similar maybe they can tell HTC and then they can work on something to help. Maybe it's me being optimistic but I would like to thing that maybe that plastic bottom plate holding the antenna could be re-engineered and replaced with an upgraded one or something similar and problem solved?!?
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Here we go again. HTC made the best considering the laws of physics. You can't have metal body without some non-metal part that holds the antenna. The only other possible solution is WiFi and gsm antennas to switch places but that might not be practical from the internal design point of view. If you hold your phone and look at it, you'll see that the only place you never put your hand is the top of the phone but I wouldn't want a cover there especially on a rainy day ;).

Our "death grip" and iPhone's is completely different. We have attenuation of the signal because when holding the phone your hand is in the near field of the antenna which messes with its properties to some extend (and attenuated the signal too) and Apple experiences signal cuts because some bright boy liked his design too much and did not listen to the engineers. IPhone's antenna is exposed and by touching it you cause much more trouble than being in the near field. And as if that's not bad enough, that same bright boy has put the WiFi antenna too close and if you bridge the two, the signal drops. Actually with the silicon case on, the iPhone and the DHD experience the same. If it doesn't look like it that's because with the software update Apple changed the way signal strength is reported to the user.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I'm not sure this is actually an issue at all, the OP has stated he has no idea if it drops calls or not, merely that the recorded signal drops, also comparing signal strength with that of older phones, or even phones of different makes is nonsensical as all manufacturers set there own scale as to when the phone displays full reception and when it displays less, and since apple got caught fiddling the scales they appear to be overly cautious at reporting full reception
