For those looking to try GB now, CM7 nightlies are highly functional now. Just the usual no 4G and no HDMI but if you rarely use those, may be worth playing with. I have been running for over a month now it its great.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Wait. You have been running nightlies for over a month? So that means what? You only had a week or less to try cm7 .... each nightly changes. Run a certain nightly for a month then come back and praise it.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Each nightly doesn't really change all that much, development has been really slow on cm7 lately. But I know what you're trying to say, even if it was unnecessary and makes you look like a hater.
[EVO 4G General] amw1972:
MOST nightly updates improves on previous builds...occasionally something gets borked...but that's why you:

nandroid your "last" stable build

nandroid your "last" stable ROM

OR

you don't touch the nightlies until you get stable builds...then again...lots of us like the bleeding edge or we won't be going thru these forums as it is...

Gingerbread is cool...and the nightlies are very stable at this point...worthy to be a daily driver. Whether you update nightly to nightly that is up to you.

Lets not flame those that are praising the nightlies...especially when they feel that the nightlies are daily driver worthy to THEM.

I'm hoping we will get an official OTA within the next month or two, or at least a source release from HTC before then. HTC is by far the best manufacturer about pushing out updates. Samsung and LG just straight don't care, and Motorola is slow. I read an article on Engadget a few weeks ago about how HTC has been very good about supporting it's older devices, updating half of them to Froyo last year. Ah, found it: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/...htc-most-eager-to-provide-android-2-2-updat/#

I'm loving the current gingerbread roms, using evervolv right now, but I'm really missing 4G, properly working GPS, and sense in general haha.

Yea I'm looking at adding a shiny Android tablet to my collection for christmas so I'm hoping some beauty of a quad core shows up. I just read somewhere that a LG tablet might have 3d cameras on it which would be crazy. It's some questionable youtube video but I think that would be nice. I like having crazy hardware because as this forum has shown me with my first android phone, the software can get exponentially better. As long as you have new enough hardware to keep up the possibilities are endless.

I have a problem with app2sd.saya have installed app2sd to u20i after that I install another application. my phone memory is reduced slightly. but not the point. why after I install my application to delete (not app2sd) continues I install more memory on my phone continues to decrease. I tried many times with one application and continues to decrease. what is the problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
I have the same problem as well. My phone keeps telling me that it is low on memory which is really annoying considering all apps are installed on my sd card.

I recall reading a post a while back which says although app2sd is installed, the phone makes a backup of the installed apps which is why the phones memory is decreasing. Simply go to the backup folder in the phone's memory and delete the apps. Wish I could remember where the backup was kept?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
nah, the internal memory decreases because some apps don't have app2sd support, and can only be installed in the internal memory, a lot of them actually. if you want a lot if space in the internal memory, move the dalvik cache to the sd card. look for the "how to" in the forum, or google.

Yep, Microsoft ask your HD7 IMEI for the activation code - if you will provide them a HD2 IMEI they will tell you thats its a HD2 IMEI and not a HD7 IMEI, they are checking it. So best thing is search at Google Pictures a HD7 Back picture, where in one of them you will be able to locate a IMEI, search well & you will find.

You gave 'em your HD2 IMEI and they said that they won't give you a activation code because of beeing a hd2 IMEI?

As i got my code through email i had not to give any IMEI but i wrote them that it's for my HD2.

So my question: Is MS supporting wp7 on hd2 or is it just about who you are talking/chating... to?

And doesn't MS gets my IMEI anyway once i activate wp7?! seriously
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hammered09:

I must be the exception here. I unlocked my hd2 today, and called 1-800-microsoft. Told them I had bought a hd7 off the web, I had my product key in 4 minutes, she gave it to me over the phone! They NEVER asked for an IMEI
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jtk72:
I went a different route. I did the chat thing but told them that I just got my HD7 and had no idea I would have to activate it when I bought it. I said I was getting ready to bring it back to the store if I couldn't get it activated soon. I got my activation code in about 2 minutes.

Sometimes you just gotta act angry. Be nice but act like it's too many steps to use a cell phone. You'll get your code.

god this is so frustrating, from what i gather there is no chat support in the uk, so when you call them (i have numerous times) they all want an IMEI, or proof of purchase.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anrabi4:
Call Microsoft US, tell them it was a gift from somebody who lives in the US, give them an IMEI (Google for one, really, I have found four) and you`ll get your code. You might get lucky and they will only ask you for your name, e-mail address and phone number (which was my case).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hammered09:
I don't see what your problem is... Give them the IMEI number from your HD2. They have no way of checking it as far as I know. I've done it as have loads of others on here from the UK... What do you think they are going to do have the police come round and arrest you. :rolleyes:

The only thing they would do if they do now check, is to say that you don't have a HD7, and they can't provide you with a code...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] meptik:
How did you create your fake IMEI? I was curious whether it wouldn't just be possible to combine the TAC from a HD7 IMEI with the SN from a HD2 IMEI and recalculate the check digit. At least one HD7 type allocation code can be easily found with Google, and Wikipedia has plenty of information on the structure of IMEI's.

I was lucky myself, though. When I called Microsoft here, they didn't ask me for an IMEI at all. Had no trouble getting an activation code.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 455marcus:
no didnt take it as serious as you did.

just tried out some numbers and checked them with the imei checker page the guy

Do you know if they keep track of the imei number people use? So if someone calls and uses the same imei as someone else, will that number already be checked off. I had tried getting a second code using a hd7 imei I got from the internet, and they said that they already gave me an activation code. It could of been because of my ip address, too, cause I was using chat.

Unless your a genius you have to jot it down as you make it up, in case asked to repeat!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
They must have not actually checked the imei you gave them, then, because a lot of people who give hd2 imei or other imei's that weren't hd7 were told they can't get an activation code because it wasn't a hd7 they had.

I tried to contact my local microsoft (THAILAND) asking about code but they requested me for a receipt for HD7. But I didn't have it because I have HD2.

Also, I contacted US microsoft via chatting.

Unfortunately, they asked me for IMEI but i didn't have it. I told him for my HD2. They said it is HD2 IMEI and cannot give me for a code.

How many people did you end up PMing?

Did you give all the people the same imei? I guess I'll take over from here for a little while since you are no longer sending pms. I've collected around a dozen different hd7 imei's from the web.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] meptik:
I wonder whether lots of people using the same IMEI won't ring any alarm bells over at Microsoft. It might be a better idea to create custom HD7 IMEI's. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I suspect having a matching Type Allocation code for HD7 and a correct check digit at the end should be enough to pass whatever check Microsoft is doing. I doubt they have any insight into what a correct serial number would be, since that part of the IMEI is manufacturer-defined.

I'm thinking something like this:

Disclaimer

I have no idea if this will work - I was never asked for my IMEI when I called.

This is all based on publicly available information. Anyone with a little Google-fu can find this.

I'm not responsible for anything.

Requirements

A HD7 Type Allocation Code(TAC), e.g. 35281104 (it's likely there are a few more, there are a few different ones for HD2)

Your HD2 IMEI

A brain (or calculator) to calculate the check digit

Guide

Take off your HD2's battery cover and pop out the battery. Have a look at your HD2 IMEI. Mine is 15 digits in length, starting with 35.

Refer to Wikipedia for details on IMEI structure.

So... The first 8 digits are the TAC, and the 6 digits directly after that are my unique serial number. Allright.

Take the HD7 TAC (e.g. 35281104) and append it with your 6-digit serial number.

Have another look at that wikipedia article, and use the example there to calculate your own check digit. It's not that hard, but it's easy enough to make a mistake, for example by doubling the wrong digit. Check and double-check!

Add the check digit at the back of your HD7 TAC and HD2 serial number.

==> You will now have an IMEI that should pass at least a cursory examination, since TAC is the right one for a HD7 and the check digit is correct.

While it's not guaranteed that this IMEI will be unique, it will be far less likely to arouse suspicion than some IMEI posted on the web, used by millions.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] iBimmer:
Here's some advice to everyone who wants to activate their WM7 phone:

1) Do not ask for activation code. Nobody will provide you with theirs because this will most likely kill it.

2) Before you contact MS CS, Google HD7 IMEI and here's a tip - make sure you include the word "unlock" in the search terms. Many unlock websites have msg boards where people posted their IMEI numbers and are publicly available. IMEI is not used to generate activation code, it is used to check your phone's model, so you can use any HD7 IMEI.

3) Instead of calling in, chat with them. It's easier (and free) to "fake" your location using a US proxy server if you don't live in the USA. You may get lucky (as me) to talk to a nice rep who won't ask for IMEI, only for location/name/phone number. Give them a REAL US location/US phone# and be extremely nice. If they ask for IMEI and you don't have one, close chat and try again in a few hours or next day.

4) If you're too lazy to find IMEI and/or chat/call MS, refer to 1)

Sprint SERO is the main reason why I am still with Sprint - but do note that SERO was not publicly available to customers - and there is no way for a new customer to get it today. So, for a new customer picking a service, the regular sprint rates are applicable.

If you are picking a new plan, T-mo plan might be better than sprint. ATT is kinda comparable. Some customers may get a discount at ATT thru' their employer... so that might contribute to their decision too...

Main reasons:

1) iPhone exclusivity for so long.

2) They used to be decent.

3) Sprint's service sucks in some parts of the country.

4) Corporate contracts (Example: While AT&T sucks here in Sacramento as soon as you get out of the city limits, at my work, they have a contract with AT&T, so everyone gets an AT&T phone. Except me of course.)

Corporate contracts make up a much higher percentage of phone contracts than you'd expect.
