[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rflmnz:
My biggest concerns about wp7

1- No Copy and Paste

2- No fast multitask (like alt+tab)

3- No T9 dialpad

But the biggest is:

4- NO GOOGLE CONTACTS GOOD SYNC. Many of my contacts have multiple cellphones, and WP7 (also wm6.x) doesn't recognize them... Does anyone have an workaround?

5- Few medical apps (no Skyscape, Epocrates, or offline Uptodate...)

6- No apps folder...

Hope MS is watching this post!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rontej0226:
Guys,

This is really bothering me. It's something very minimal but I like nothing but a perfect screen.

These are not scratches. They seem to be abrasions, a chemical reaction or something under the screen.

I want to return the phone for this defect (its been one weekend).

Should I exchange or just get a full refund, let me hear your feedback.

Thanks

I can't post pictures to show you guys...(xda doesnt let me)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Without pictures its a little difficult to diagnose the problem so I would suggest you either upload the pictures to tinypic.com and post the links here as text and not links or pm them to someone (like myself) who can post them for you.

That said, this sounds like an issue I was reading about a few days ago and from my memory wiping the screen with a paper towel helped. I can't remember whether it was supposed to be wet or dry but I would try wet first.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Here are the pictures for others benefit:

As I said, try wiping it down with a wet paper towel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonew5082:
I had that too. Didn't seem to come off. When I received my clairevue screen protector it came with a special wipe, that magically removed the defect. I couldn't believe it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rontej0226:
One idea I had was that this may have been caused by the oils in my hands
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
I think it may be the oleophobic coating wearing off... perhaps it rubbed quite hard against something to create that pattern. Cleaning it (with an alcoholic wipe) or something will make the screen look perfect, once you get oil on the screen the pattern will come back... exchange it.

They really half-assed the oleophobic coating on this phone... screen protector is a must, which defeats the purpose of having the coating in the first place.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rontej0226:
Is the coating that thin? I believe that you are right. It does suck because I have oily hands.

I will try and exchange it tomorrow. Maybe this is a bad apple.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rontej0226:
Oh and dinan, the trouble with me is that I like a completely naked phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Me too, but I fear I have no choice with this one. My first phone I had exchanged due to some weird black banding on the screen, but it also had some "splotch" like areas where the coating had worn off, not sure how... since I don't touch those areas much and I never dropped it. The 2nd phone is perfect, but I fear it'll develop the same thing unless I protect it somehow.

Hello,i cant find the way to sync me contacts from me legend to the pc,the htc sync dont work with this version,sorry but i cant find in the forums and the wiki and i dont undestand very well english!!!

thanks a lot

daniel
[Legend Themes and Apps] guybanda:
just export them to the sd card and then copy the file from the sd card and import it into whatever you are using... takes a bit more effort but gets the job done
[Legend Themes and Apps] dangal:
Thanks guybanda,now im trying this
[Legend Themes and Apps] dangal:
the export generate a vcf file,im open with ultraedit is the only way?
[Legend Themes and Apps] guybanda:
you could try to import the vcf file to your gmail account: go to contacts and import the file there,

then all your contacts should be there and you can sync them to the phone whenever you like.

[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Well after my 2 week changaroo to the Incredible, I'm back. Boy it is a nice phone expecially for modifying but that screen and processor aren't for me. It is so slow in comparison to the X. AND that tiny screen! (ha, its tiny to us X users but to everyone else its perfect) Just as an example on the processor, I play a game called homerun battle 3d alot and it is slower than hell on the inc, but plays perfectly on the X. Anyway, just letting everyone know my experience! Maybe I'll end up back with HTC when the thunderbolt comes out, or I may stick with Moto when the bionic comes out. We'll see.
[Droid X General] toddman:
My only grump about the DX is that the physical keys on the bottom are very hard to press while using the phone with one hand. I don't know how much pressure they require, but it always feels awkward pressing them. What's worst is I'm always telling myself "man these buttons are hard to press". Of course it doesn't help going back and forth between my wife's Droid2 and then going to my DX. Hopefully the DX2 will bring in touch buttons.

Make up another email and name. They can check your chat history so making up more stories wont help. With a new name and email start a chat. Make up some BS like you use a throat mic and they customer service on the phone didn't understand you. It doesn't matter what name or number you give them Im more than sure their codes are pretty universal on devices of the same type. If no success make up another email and name and try again. I got it on my 3rd try via chat.

I took two attempts for me to get a code from them.

They will give you a code - just wait it out.

You can still configure your handset to sync your contacts, email and calendar with windows live whilst your waiting to activate?

If you set-up an outlook exchange account and use the following server address:

server: m.hotmail.com

Domain: leave clear

Username: web

Password: web

I found it wont let you complete the set-up without entering something for the domain. I entered a couple of random characters so you can finish the set-up, then once the account was complete I went back into the email settings and deleted the random characters.

Not sure if I missed something. What is your country?

I called M$-Support of Germany on Monday this week and they gave me a key while we were on the phone. No question about IMEI but the manufactorer of my phone. I said HTC and there were no further questions.

Hey guys, i just got my key!!!!

Just wanna share with you guys how I got it. So I'm currently in Taiwan, I went on hotmail to create a new email account and set my location to Taiwan. Then I signed into the online chat.

Told him I need a key.

He told me to call MS Taiwan.

I told him I tried, but I had a really hard time trying to speak to their English speakers, hence I'm on the online chat.

He asked for my name and number. Then gave me the key within a min.

Told me to try it right away.

I told him my friend has my phone in a shop, will have it really soon.

And that's it!!!!! Got it on my second try! Key is to be super nice/polite to the rep and keep trying till you get one!!!!

Good luck guys!

Hi, the GPS doesn't seem to work on my phone? All that works in Maps is WiFi and tower location (which is way off). I've tried two builds now, MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 and currently Sergio76's HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1, both not working. What can I do?

My current radio is 2.15.50.14 and HSPL 2.08 I think...

Will yours make a difference? How can I edit the file? Cause it changes back to that when I tried to save yours on my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
You have to have root access to the phone, and you could try copying the file out make the changes to it in windows and then push it back or copy it back to the sdcard and then move the file to its location. also if its a read only folder that would cause and issue too.

Dont ask me why it works, but I did it just for the heck of it and I was surprised at the result.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vinny13:
Ok eventually I changed the gps.conf, but still nothing. I went back to the WinMo Energy rom that was on it when I got it, and it still doesn't find any satellites... Does this mean my GPS is broken?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vinny13:
BUMP

Seems to me that either the GPS is partially defective, to where it turns on (mus be there since it drains the battery) but cannot scan, or it could be something to do with HSPL, as that's the only thing I haven't tried changing. I don't know if it has anything to do with the GPS though?

I've tried reinstalling radio 2.15* but that did nothing, as well as moving to radio 2.14* (currently on) which has also done nothing. I've also tried 3 Android ROMs now, 2 Energy WinMo ROMs, and even a stock TMobile ROM. None have been able to lock onto a satellite.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cabalist:
I have the exact same issue in android but managed to have it working in winmo.

Try this: install a stock HTC rom, load it up, connect to the internet and open quick gps (inside tools), download the AGPS data. Without disconecting from the internet open copilot, register it for the 15 days trial.

Once activated you can disconnect, forget about maps you don't need them.

Go out in a place where you can clearly see the sky, open copilot, go into settings, gps, satellites. You should see some vertical bars there.

Should start see some satellites in 1-2 minutes and get a fix in no more than 3-4 minutes.

Let me know if it works.

Cheers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vinny13:
TMobile stock roms don't seem to have that program, and I couldn't find a trial anywhere :S

I ended up going back to the Energy ROM with radio 2.14, and under GPS Test it actually showed two signals (bars, whatever they are), although very weak. I guess this means that my GPS is infact functional, just extremely weak?

BTW, other radios (2.12 and 2.15) only seemed to pick up 1 bar in GPS Test, if that matters.

Yes, it works... even if i don't know it is good or not! :p

where should i buy it from. there are none on craigslist. and i dont want to pay 600 dollars for this phone
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
were u from?

US go to bestbuy
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I believe he either does not have a qualifying upgrade or does not want to buy it on contract however wants the phone in which case your best bet would be the waiting game on craigslist or ebay.
[Nexus S General] m00nshake:
I'd advise against Craigslist or Ebay. I had to get two replacements from Best Buy before I got a Nexus S that operated normally. If you get a phone off Ebay or CL with an unresponsive back button, you're stuck with it or you've got to sell it and try again.
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
well i am in ny and i am not eligible for full upgrade. and with the tax the phone comes up to $580 wow.. thats too much for a phone
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
You don't need to qualify for upgrade of contract you can buy "unlocked"

Forgot OP price probably included sales tax

no sales tax here
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I agree, I never buy things off ebay for that reason but at least with Craigslist he can try the phone before buying it (or at least you should always try before you buy, if they won't let you don't buy it).

Again, I'd say play the waiting game with Craigslist. What phone do you have now? Might be able to sell it and get some money for that and cut the cost of the Nexus S down. Alternatively, there are other phones out there that are cheaper off contract will function just as well.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
580 is NOT bad when you compare it to other smartphones with no commitment pricing. $20 cheaper than a iPhone 4 actually.
[Nexus S General] Ulver:
I wasn't elible for an upgrade when I got my phone. This is the first I've bought my phone out right at full price. I tell you, it sure feels good, I don't have to worry about extending my contract and gives me more freedom. Get the nexus s, you won't regret it :)
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
If you buy the phone full price, your service is $20/month cheaper (Even More Plus plan instead of Even More plan).
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
yea i am buying it tomorrow brand new out of the box for 550
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
the SNS I9020 is actually over priced if you ask me

the SGS I9000 brand new street price is only $499

basically $30 less

but it comes with way more stuff than the SNS I9020 ($529)
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I have both of those phones.

If I could only have one, it would without a doubt be the Nexus S.

I paid almost $700 for my i9000 last July. :eek:
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
Here's some math to help you feel better about buying unlocked.

If you were able to buy it at the discounted price, your total cost of ownership would look like this:

$199 Nexus S + extra $20/month over 24 month Even More contract = $680

If you buy it unlocked, your total cost of ownership looks like this:

$529 Nexus S, no contract on Even More Plus = $529

Even if you're on Even More right now, you also qualify to drop it down to Even More Plus if you're more than 12 months into your contract. So it may look like it's a lot of money up front, but you're saving more in the long run and won't be under contract. :)

Go to the Bible and read up. I am guessing you probably need to use a usb cord plugged into the phone hold down the volume and start buttons then plug into the computer (make sure you already got Odin up)... that may be the way to get it to respond then odin back to JFD stock.

READ THE BIBLE this is in there somewhere it is the best source.
