Are you using ADVANCED TASK KILLER ????

Read this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936550

And tell me if it helped you.
[HD2 General] Fickser:
I dont have any task killers installed at the moment.

At this point, the only thing that has me believe my particular issue isnt hardware based is because its so intermittent.

I realized I was changing everything but the HSPL software. I put Stock WinMo back on there, put it under a small stress test, and sure enough, it locks up there too. I then removed HSPL, then tried again, and I was not able to get it to lock up, even after multitasking for a good 30 minutes.

I am trying to figure out if HSPL could cause issues with the OS while the OS is running, as far as I knew that wasnt the case, as HSPL is more of a bios like system, where if there were issues, the phone wouldnt boot.

If Im wrong, someone PLEASE correct me ;)
[HD2 General] denyboy:
OMG. I had exactly same idea as you. Becouse when i installed stock ROM via SD card thus removing HSPL i managed to run game for a long long time without problems. I wanted to return it for REPAIR but freezing sudenly dissapeared. But somehow i wonder how HSPL could interfeere with it. I didnt want to talk about it becuse even i have conflicted opinion on that. I was not sure about it.

Changing Task Killers seemed worked for a while on first Android after STOCK ROM, but then i changed 2-3 builds and this issue is back.

Its not about WM becouse i flashed custom WM rom and freezing is present.

Weird.

Hey on my HD2 is v2.3 working

I would like to flash the latest one from mdj (v2.6)

To do that a softwarestart is required during which i press down the volume key.

I dont get to MAGLDR.

I just get the colored display.

What do i have to do to get the new build flashed??

Thanks for help :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Volume key is for booting in bootloader, to boot in Magldr you have to keep the power off button pressed.

I have been looking for a solution to play WMV files, streaming. While a few apps can play WMV, there don't seem to be any that can view streaming WMV files. It seems that Yxplayer can ALMOST, but not quite play them.

So far I have tested: Meridian, mVideoPlayer, Vplayer, QQPlayer, VitalPlayer, and as I said, earlier, Yxplayer.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LeDiable:
Hey peepolz,

I just purchased a used T-Mobile HD2 for some rom tinkering. I'll be using it in India. Was wondering if I needed to unlock the sim through WinMo 6.5 before installing Android or would installing an Android Rom over WinMo automatically unlock it, since it is practically a completely new software over the old.?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
a) No.

b) Read guides in sticky first before asking questions.

c) Wrong forum. Please post question in the "questions" forum, this is for posting ROM's/Builds and related development ONLY.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LeDiable:
1) No what? It gets unlocked after putting in Android or needs to be unlocked?

2) Sorry, my bad.

3) Moderator, please pardon and oblige.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
It neither requires SIM unlocking, or does it. (Assuming you're using the correct provider's SIM!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Derek0228:
In simpler words, Android does not sim unlock your phone.

Sent from my HD2 running Android on NAND :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] `SBR`:
unlock the HD2 for 20$.. there are few sites available.. i tried with this way and it works good in Indian SIM

if you bought without any contract, call Tmobile customer care and get the unlock code...

once it's unlocked you can use it in India..

Installing rom won't unlock the SIM lock with tmobile

[Droid X General] sciulli999:
Maybe this has already been posted, but I'm on here pretty frequently and haven't seen this mentioned.

I was pointed to this tweet on another forum:

http://twitter.com/black_man_x/status/24657410245263360

apparently this guy works for Verizon and they are already testing 2.3 on the X.

Question for the people running custom ROMs.

When (or if, I know that tweet isn't official confirmation) Moto releases Gingerbread for the X, will we have to flash back to Moto's 2.2.1, upgrade to Moto's 2.3, and THEN go back to our ROM of choice?

Or is it likely that, for example, Fission will offer a way for us to upgrade to Gingerbread straight from Fission Froyo?
[Droid X General] _kast:
This assumes that the ROM of choice is compatible with 2.3.

I think the safest thing to do would be to flash back to 2.2.1, OTA to 2.3, then flash the chosen ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiteness:
Dear Forum Members,

I have a problem with my Desire HD.

My phone is rooted and has the 3.0.0.5 ClockworkMod Recovery installed.

I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly Build 14 for HTC Desire HD.

Iv'e downloaded the .zip file and put it on my SD-Card.

I went to ROM Manger and tried both ways (Install ROM from SD-Card ore Reboot in recovery mode and install it there).

Both ways I ended up getting this strange message:

Installing update…

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "bravo"

E:Error in /sdcard/cm_bravo_full-14.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Is any one seen this error before? and if so can you please help me.

Kind Regards,

Whiteness.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
The error messages suggest your trying to install the ROM for Bravo or the original Desire, I think you may have the wrong ROM?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiteness:
Good be now downloading the ace version :-)

Let you know!
[Epic 4G General] jesmann:
I know some of you use free upload services that are sometimes slow and make end users wait to download. I have my own domains and use a hosting package for my little website that has 150 GB of space and unlimited traffic allowed. I can set up a subdomain and ftp account for devs to use in exchange for a donate button if anyone wants to put in towards my hosting fees. Nothing required just an offer for the community.
[Epic 4G General] sndtubes:
I'm not a DEV, just a stupid user. (and i do mean stupid), but I wanted to thank you for such a generous offer. That is really cool of you, dude.
[Epic 4G General] jesmann:
Not a problem. Just went to download and was annoyed by one of those pay or wait to download sites and thought wait a second...lol
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
Ahh yes. That makes us brothers. I'm no dev but rather a very dangerous ppc pda owner. Completely moronic and stupid as they get. I usually have to read instruction 10 times on how to install apk files. So stupid I am. Worse than noobs. I once thought ppc stood for "pay per contract". But thxs for the offer.
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
Seriously thanks for the offer that is very nice of you but this really doesn't belong here. This belongs in the general section!
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
Pwn3d!
[Epic 4G General] brian2220:
it seems like its getting more attention here even though it shouldn't be here
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
I can only speak for myself but I frequent the General section a lot. I haven't given much input there but I do frequent it as there are really some decent topics being discussed. I have read other threads here were the OP says "well if I had posted in General then no one would see it". I disagree! Anyways I mean its easy to get things seen or heard, I mean cmon you just have to use your head a little tiny bit. For example if this was my thread. I would have posted it in the General section. Then I would have PMed the less than ten devs and themers we have in the Epic forums and told them to check out my thread. Then I would put the info in my sig. Maybe bold letters or colors. Its really not that difficult. Putting it here in the wrong section just promotes more incorrectly posted threads thus congesting the DEV section. The OPs intentions are good and I compliment him but he still needs to know where it belongs.
[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
I'd prefer having threads posted in the wrong section to having to read more smoothone drivel. Every single friggin thread this guy is in there. Painful.
[Epic 4G General] mistabusta:
You do realize that most of these ROMs are 150mb or so in size? That means that only 1000 downloads and you're bandwidth for the month would be gone...and trust me, that will happen pretty quickly.

I'm also going to guess that since you've just got a small virtual hosting account and not a dedicated server, that you will have a pay additional charges per gig of transfer used over your 150 gig.

There's a reason why these files get posted to the free file hosting services ;)

Wow dude, is that your Dad's photo in your avatar...because you sound like you're about 12 years old. You've really got a stick up your ass if you're taking a smartphone message board this seriously. Go crack yourself a beer or take a nice big hit from your bong.

Personally, since he was making an offer to developers...this seems like a reasonable place for the thread. But what do I know, it's not my site and I'm not a mod. So guess what? I just don't worry about it. Maybe you should try the same.
[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
I believe they have 150 gigs of space and unlimited transfer. If anything I'd be concerned that the host would start throttling bandwidth... making for very slow download speeds. Not like the free file hosting services are fast tho...
[Epic 4G General] JMMusic:
Definitely correctly posted in the development forum. He wasn't offering free web hosting for anyone, just devs who have a rom they need a spot for.

And nice offer. If I had a rom to host I would be most appreciative.

By the way, there is a report post button that I have seen repeatedly mentioned by mods. That is the proper way to deal with a post you feel is in the incorrect place. You know how I know this? Because it exists...
[Epic 4G General] megabillzilla:
Really awesome of you man. Thanks for giving back to the community.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Yeah, this isn't Dev per se, but it's not like his post was "Does anyone know when Froyo is coming out?"

This is at the very least borderline, IMO. He was contributing something which will aid in the development process.
[Epic 4G General] jesmann:
My storage is 150GB. My transfer is unlimited It's a 1&1 linux hosting package.
[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
To add my own experience to this...

I am hosting the Bonsai rom on my server, and while I expected it would use quite a bit of my bandwidth, I never expected that it would use around 100GB in 2 days.

I had to request that some mirrors be included to offset the bandwidth a bit (I only have 200GB a month BW). My Webalizer is showing 1574 hits for Bonsai v2.0.0.

It's a good thing you have unlimited BW, but I'm guessing that the download speeds will be throttled.

I mean, for $7 a month, I wouldn't expect they will let you rape their servers (bandwidth is expensive you know).

=]
[Epic 4G General] misfit343:
ah hell let the rape begin!!!!

seriously i think its a great idea and if i ever get proficient enough to make my own ROM id be all about this idea, and as a end user of your guys awesome work it would be nice to not have to jump through the dumb wait 500 bajillion sec before you can start stuff.....
[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
That's why we chose dropbox as the mirrors for Bonsai.
[Epic 4G General] misfit343:
and a uber hi five for that!

[Captivate General] jlbryan24:
Maybe I am the only one, but flashing roms and learning how to screw up my captivate, and more importantly learn how to fix it afterwords, has made me not really care about when my phone will get 2.2 or 2.3. The developers here have made roms that I believe are just as good, if not better than the "official" versions. Sure Samsung promised 2.2 a long time ago, but what is the fun in just a boring update?;) Am I the only one who feels this way, or am I just addicted to flashing?
[Captivate General] delugeofspam:
Here, here!
[Captivate General] rwj5279955:
The only thing an official AT&T update would bring at this point in the game, would be better custom ROMs.

IMVHO of course.
[Captivate General] sarcasmo:
I respect your right not to be upset. Still, I think there are a number of things to be legitimately upset about - none of which are addressed by the ROMS on xda.

The restart issue: this problem has been known for a long time. Neither AT&T nor Samsung have made it easy to get a working phone. They denied the issue for a while. They then recognized it, but never made the exchange process easy. Look at all the random shutdown threads and see the mixed experiences people have had. To make matters worse, broken phones are often replaced with other broken phones. AT&T has been either too lazy or too cheap to pull the affected IMEIs from circulation. People have gone through 2 or 3 phones before getting one that 'works.'

My GPS doesn't work at all. I can stand out in the middle of a field and my phone will see 1 satelite. I get a lock every once in a while, but it NEVER has tracked. I've tried just about every GPS fix out there and none of them work for me (and I shouldn't need to try a bunch of fixes off some internet forum anyhow). Has there been any help from AT&T or Samsung on this issue? - No. They seem to pretend it doesn't exist. To make matters worse, some phones seem to work as expected - BUT some of those have the shutdown issue. People are afraid to turn in their screwed up phone with a working GPS because they might end up with a 'normal' phone with a broken GPS. That's outrageous. Seriously, it shows the truly pathetic quality of the Captivate and the companies that manufacture/distribute it.

There are features that came on my phone that have still not been enabled. Media Hub, for example, was billed all over the place as a great new feature - to be enabled later. It's later...much later. When do I get Media Hub? I don't see it. I can't get it to work via any custom ROMs (unless I'm missing something).

The way that AT&T and Samsung have handled this situation reads as a case study in poor customer service. Is it the end of the world? No. Is it enough to get me to avoid another Samsung phone? Probably. I bet many others would say the same.
[Captivate General] DucatiGuy:
Custom ROMs saved me from hating this phone and made it a really great device in every way I can think of, but it doesn't excuse AT&T+Samsung's lack of support on this device.

All I can say is thank goodness for people on this forum who have the interest, know how and drive to do what those companies have not done: make the Captivate a great device.

[Captivate General] blazin619:
The rom leaks developers are working on are part of a conspiracy. Think about it.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Yup! My Sentiments exactly.
[Captivate General] vunuts:
It was on the Epic forums.

I tried this a while ago on one of the early versions of cog and it worked fine, but I don't use it enough to keep it on my phone. But I can confirm that it did work for me.
[Captivate General] Phateless:
Very well said! Btw, LOVE the screen name, lol.

I don't even own this phone, my gf does and I've done limited research so I could flash Cog2.3b8. The phone is WAAAAY better with Cog, but the gps blatantly disappeared on us halfway to our destination last weekend. I sighed and pulled out my mt4g which caught a lock in about 1/10th of a second and guided us there with absolutely no errors.

This made ME feel pretty stupid considering I gave her the phone as a gift. Thank god I bought it used and can probably sell it for what I paid for it.

From my limited experience with AT&T and Samsung I am furious. This phone had tremendous potential but I will avoid Samsung and AT&T like the plague from now on.

Delaying updates is one thing but the GPS issue is ****ing ridiculous. It's a joke!! There's no other way to describe it. You should all be irate and demand your money back.

Yes, T-mobile has had QC issues with the MT4G but everyone in the thread who has returned their phones has praised T-mobile for the way they handle their customer service, including myself. How many have had that experience with AT&T?
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
You should still be mad at Samsung.

Instead of making good ROMs great, we're making crappy ROMs good.
[Captivate General] Athailias:
It worked for me as well. I just didnt care for it. I would much rather have netflix. I have a different apk somewhere around here. If his doesnt work for you let me know via pm and I will send it... nm i just posted it :P
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
Nah. I don't really need GPS, and last time I tried it outside my work building it got lock in about 2 or 3 seconds. I've tried it a couple of times while driving with mixed results. It seems to depend a lot on the area. As expected (or maybe not), it seemed to worked the best in the "wealthy" part of the city.:confused: I live in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Other than that I don't know. I haven't had any single random restart that I know it wasn't caused by me, same with charging death, mainly caused by bad UV settings.

I only used the stock rom for about 2 days before I moved and lagfixed it. I killed it once in a bad kernel flashing attempt. The fact that I can revive it using a home made usb jig makes me love it even more.

Right now, I just wished people could experience that same phone I'm experiencing. I think I'm in love with it.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I'm mad at both. My Captivate is my work phone, provided by my employer - so I am less comfortable flashing it to overcome the shortcomings of the standard AT&T build - yet I did root the phone and install the MobileAP so I can actually work when my client doesn't let me connect to their network.

My beef is on smaller things like - disabling tethering, not having more robust support for Exchange, the inability to sideload, or even load Android Market apps that AT&T doesn't want me to see.

As a work tool, I want my phone to let me work, and these limits, largely self-imposed are galling.
[Captivate General] LiliaKrause:
I've learned so much over the last week. I must have flashed my phone at least 20 times and got a few good bricks out of it too. Samsung and At&t can do what they want. These roms works much better than anything they could ever do.
[Captivate General] flashy_mcflash:
I'm not mad at Samsung or Rogers for the reasons stated above, I'm mad at them for broken promises as they relate to hardware - namely the USB-to-HDMI issue, which was a big reason for me to go with this phone over another. We were promised a software update to enable this and were even shown a cable on the official Sammy site, but nada.

Thanks for any input.

[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Well our moderator is nowhere to be seen.. we should have a step by step sticked.. but we don't.

1) Root your phone. Search the forums to figure out how to do that.

2) Install RomManager and the ClockworkMod Recovery. There's a thread for that as well.

3) Download and install the ROM of your choice. Roms are located in the Dev Forums.

The details can be found in the Mesmerize General and the Mesmerize Development Forums. Search is your friend.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Thanks for the nice stepbystep. I wonder if pming the mod would help get it stickied? He still hasn't replied to my last pm though..
