ok, so i got android nand installed on my phone, running and everything, i have tinkered with the settings but can not get my internet to work, any suggestions on what to do or how to get it to work, plz fill me in thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Fill in first.

Nand or sd? What build? Network? Etc...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MattOG:
You may need to update your apn.

Google your supplier your region and apn... Eg vodafone uk apn.

Then goto settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names.. Check that what you get from google is in there.

epc.tombile.com doesnt work for me, i been using internet2.voicestream.com for data. the only build nand rom that works with internet2.voicestream.com are nexus2hd roms. i tried desireHD, stock desire, mytouch4g rom so basically any sense roms. any help? thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XMaseX171:
I have the same type of problem. epc.tmobile.com worked for me, except everytime I reboot the phone, or if I leave it on the charger overnight, I lose my network. Everytime I have to go back into the settings and manually find T-Mobile again, then register it on the network. Anyway to prevent this issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgunz:
I never been able to use epc.tmobile.com because I have the web2go feature...i think tmobile know that we're both using HD2 but different build rom so they would kick us off the network...its kinda weird that i still can use internet2.voicestream.com with only the original android build like nexus2hd rom. Anything with Sense rom, I wont be able to use my internet until I change it to epc.tmobile.com inwhich i cant use. Is there a way to work around to make internet2.voicestream.com with other build rom besides regular ole nexus2hd rom. I would love to use the sense roms. thanks

Evo landscape. I have seen it but don't know hot to do it, is it posible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
turn the phone 90° either right or left so that it is on it's side

your phone Is now in landscape

if nothing happened try doing it while running an app, or install a better rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthew3188:
I currently have mikfroyo v4.4. It would be nice having landscape without using an application.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
launcher pro, adw launcher will give landscape on home screen I think
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Running CM7 with adw launcher, launcher pro, ect, allow you to use landscape. If you are using CM7, go into the settings and disable persistence on the screen.

Thank you for the support
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccheel:
Hey guys, I flashed the Bionix-v rom, and I love it, but for some reason, now I am having issues with picture messages not sending. I downloaded ASOP from a thread, but I cannot seem to figure out how to install it. Also, I cannot figure out how to install the newer version of swype or the memo app. Can you not just do it from the zip file - app manager?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccheel:
Wow. No one?...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo779:
Nope, you have to flash them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klege:
That's right! You have to flash them.

About MMS: change your contacts from (xxx) xxx-xxxx to plain xxxxxxxxxx.

that did the trick for me. I read there is a batch contact changer on the market. Not sure of the name though.

T-Mobile Vibrant Bionix V KB1

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougstoner:
Just thought I'd throw this in here for people with mms problems. I had them again, and I went to settings, manage applications, all, and messaging, and then clear cache. This worked for me. As far as changing all numbers to the correct format, I found this post. I haven't tried it, but sounds like it should work.

Search for Contacts Clean-up on market. It's free. Select format +xxyyyzzzzzzz to apply to all your contacts. It worked for me. Helps when you have a big contacts list.

Hope this helps....

http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/02/03/224231/Google-Says-Honeycomb-Will-Not-Come-To-Smartphones

This would really, really suck if we did not have the awesome dev team we do! How much u wanna bet Honeycomb will be running on the HD2 before the end of summer this year?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Honeycomb is for tablets... at least at first. We'll be getting Ice Cream Cone, which is 2.4, by the end of summer, which is actually released after honeycomb as is made for phones, so it will probably have more and better functionality for us than honeycomb would.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sohip:
If we can only just port the UI graphics acceleration part from Honeycomb, that would make any custom rom based on it very slick and smooth and might also saves more battery power by sparing the cpu from certain tasks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ultimaex:
After the release wait some days/weeks and you will see the first port from our nice devs :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tigerlight:
It was my understanding Gingerbread already offloaded the UI.

?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sohip:
Some of it, but not as much as honeycomb.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoMoreExcuzez:
So yeah...I was wondering if you can change the color of the circles on the unlock pattern, or even possibly change the circle into another picture/icon completely. I haven't seen this posted in over a year, so I was wondering if anyone has managed to do it since then. :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Yes you can. Forgot the file names though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3020814:
I don't know why you would want to the pattern codes are very easy to memorize. Looking over the shoulder or glancing I have memorized my relatives and friends patterns by only looking at it once. I show them and they change it right away but with limited number of dots and only being able to go over each dot once its not that hard to memorize a pattern. I turned the show path option off and the vibrate on. If you keep the pattern on watch your back because it is beyond easy to remember a pattern. If you don't believe me there is a game in market (kind of like simon but android lock instead of a 4 color pattern). Even patterns that trace back and use all of the dots can be remembered in a single try.
[Droid X General] fsiddique:
Has anyone made the flashable zip file to get uncapped data on the latest rubix?

Thanks.

[Atrix 4G General] admorris:
Thinks the Atrix is a stupid idea...or at minimum the laptop style dock is a stupid idea? Why in the hell would I buy a completely dead miniature laptop for $499 when I could buy a damn 15.6" fully functional laptop for $100 less?? I shouldn't say the phone is stupid or necessarily the dock either, but the pricing makes absolutely 0 sense to me.

What are your thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] Nescoffe:
The price for phone the normal.

I will buy it.

And the Dock will be then cheaper
[Atrix 4G General] r34p3rex:
For $500, yes its stupid. It was originally thought to be $150, which would have been a great deal
[Atrix 4G General] Nescoffe:
For 500$ with "Sim Free" it is normal
[Atrix 4G General] jthornton71707:
I was on board totally till I heard this.the phone is amazing either way and ill still get one. But 300$ for a bearbone? Or $500? Like tgr OP said. You can get a netbook ipad many other options available
[Atrix 4G General] svzurich:
The dock just turns it into a convenient netbook. Later this year Google's Chrome OS netbooks will come out in retail and likely be far cheaper than $500 for just a shell. Better still, my Cr-48 has a Verizon 3G modem built into it without a contact. Likely cheaper to have your normal cell phone and a Chrome OS netbook than to use the Atrix with dock with tethering.

Shame too, I really do like the Atrix and its flexibility. I just do not like the idea of losing my unlimited plan and being forced to add tethering charges.
[Atrix 4G General] pcmduncan:
I agree for $499 it's a dumb idea. I personally wouldn't ever use the laptop dock so I've steered clear from the Atrix altogether. I figured Motorola would try to lock the phone down somehow like they did with the Droid X.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
the price is stupid, agreed

moto locking the bootloader is stupid, agreed

att locked up installing software / pricing plans is stupid, agreed

the specs on the atrix, however is too awesome to ignore
[Atrix 4G General] davewuvswaffles:
Second.

There has been no official statement by ANYONE to confirm or deny that the bootloader is in fact locked. Don't write speculation as if it were fact.

What the **** are you talking about? Sideloading will be enabled with every Android phone after the Inspire HD.

And in regards to the pricing plans, AT&T isn't the only carrier with tiered data. They are (if I am recalling correctly) the only one without unlimited data, but WiFi is so abundant nowadays, it doesn't really matter (for the majority of people).

Second.
[Atrix 4G General] dreadlord369:
Where did you get that information from?
[Atrix 4G General] davewuvswaffles:
http://briefmobile.com/htc-inspire-4g-allows-application-sideloading
[Atrix 4G General] dreadlord369:
That says the Inspire HD might allow sideloading, it might be enabled on this pre-release version and maybe stopped with the official (I believe they mention that in the video too).

But nowhere in there does it say that all phones after the inspire will allow sideloading.

EDIT: I take that back, I see where he mentions that in the post. Sorry.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
The pricing is dumb; way too much for the dock.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Streak 5 General] DJSYNTHVIRUS:
I have an iphone 4 im a little bored in terms of customization etc for the phone, i have an upgrade available. I have two options

wait for the motorola atrix or

someone is selling locally a dell streak white locally for $300 and i wait for the quad core stuff by the end of the year. figured someone might help me out and give a suggestion
[Streak 5 General] yasir_jan87:
OK there are many post out here about this dell streak is amazing in all aspects except for the camera. The size, weight, OS, brightness, wifi quality....

The camera is not even close to the iPhone 4 camera.

So if you are a big camera person and don't go for the streak. If you not and you enjoy working with more realstate, and want to customize the phone that way you want, this device is for you.

It is also true that there is only one person developing android Tom for the phone but this guy is really good. I am have been running the latest version of his rom and haven't faced any problems yet.

It's ur call.

P.s. 300 is a steal for this phone.
[Streak 5 General] DJSYNTHVIRUS:
i do take alot of pics, is the camera THAT bad?
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I would describe the Streak as a small tablet that is also a phone. If you want a portable all-in-one device it is very good. I use mine for reading Kindle and Nook books, browsing the internet, and keeping up with emails more than I do as a phone. It is also my music player and navigation device.

You state you are bored and want more customization options. If you mean multiple custom ROMs then the Streak is not for you. If you want to explore the customization options that Android brings then the Streak can fit the bill.

For some the size is a detriment and for others a plus. It can be both. I love it when I am reading a book and miss having a smaller phone when I want to tuck it into a pocket.

If you can get your hands on one that's not tethered to a store display you will get a better feel for the phone.

This the first phone that I have had in a while where I don't feel like it's a placeholder for the next big thing.
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Some may disagree, but I would compare it to the camera on the original iphone...maybe iphone 3g, def NOT 3gs.
[Streak 5 General] DJSYNTHVIRUS:
yea im wondering if i wait and go for the atrix, knowing the bootloader is fubared so i dont know
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
I take LOTS of pics on my Streak. The pic quality is quite GOOD. (i'm on DJ Steve's 1.6.1). So I have no complaints about the camera quality.
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
did you compare the pics while on the phone or on the computer?
[Streak 5 General] Poughkeepsie125:
The camera is bad. Just is. National Geographic isn't clamoring for my photos anyway, so it doesn't have much bearing on my affection for the Dell.

I think now is a very good time to be off-contract - there is a lot of interesting stuff coming along and I'm not about to rush into a contract with any phone. I'm past my two-years on ATT and am content to wait. (My Streak is unlocked from Dell - my previous ATT phone was/is a 3GS.)

If you can get a Streak for $300 in good condition, I think you'll love it - it is a great, great gadget. Tinker around with it, enjoy it and when the killer phone that catches your interest hits the market, you're free to jump in.
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
lol...maybe it's bad if you want to use it as your primary or professional camera :P
[Streak 5 General] DJSYNTHVIRUS:
yea i am waiting to see how xda deals with the bootloader issue and see if they can crack it and start the custom roms, if they cant im gonna sit tight until supposedly tegra 3 hits at the end of the year
[Streak 5 General] DJ-VAN:
Motorola locks their bootloaders so I hear there's no custom roms or the cooked roms don't work 100%. That and they have a terrible track record for actually supporting their phones.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/03/cliq-xt-wont-get-android-2-1-upgrade-motorolas-word-as-good-a/

I did very little research before I bought the dell streak. I just wanted an android tablet with a 5 inch screen. But I'm very happy with my purchase. It makes the iphone 4 look like a kids toy.

It did take a bit of reading to get a custom rom loaded but now I have everything set up.

You'll probably want to take a look at the threads showing off the dell streak to find out about apps like launcher pro & beautiful widgets. Customizing it can take some time.
[Streak 5 General] ryan562:
you could always jailbreak your iphone. :D
[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
ill say go for it, every one and his mother have iphones, blackberrys and Xperias. but the streak its the king of the hill, the big screen is awesome. i use it for everything, i get like 120 emails daily, i use it to SSH into servers, remote RDP, as SIP phone, to track my expenses, my gym workout, i know u can to this with any phone but the screen is so big that i makes a pleasure to use it.

people will mock at you when u take a call or u carry it in your pocket but it worth it.

The streak separates the kids from mens.
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
Jealousy mocks :)
[Streak 5 General] Poughkeepsie125:
If Darth Vader carried a phone, it'd be a Streak.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Just to give you a heads up, motorola and android don't work well with one another. Take it from someone with experience.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Lmfao you got that ish right. Lol right next to his light savor.
[Streak 5 General] brucealeg:
I have two cell lines, one is my primary and that's an iPhone 4. The other is my play / hack / toy line and that's currently a Streak.

Personally, if it wasn't for the 5in screen on the Streak I would hate Android having come from a jailbroken iPhone world. I know most wont agree with me, but I find Androids faults (for my use) hard to stomach.

Your iphone is going to have better app selection (100x over on games), better Exchange e-mail support, camera, screen, VPN etc etc.

The Streak has a 5in screen with good quality and as a geek a love playing with custom roms and reading twitter/kindle/comincs on that large screen. Hell, I am just a platform whore who likes having access to everything lol :)

Even so, I could not live with Android as my only phone, not just because it doesn't meet my work requirements - its just not as polished. As a back up I love it and I think people like DJ_Steve make it so much more useful or we would never have OS updates.

I think you'll love a Streak but highly recommend keeping the i4 for awhile. Get a micro sim to normal size sim adapter and switch out phones based on mood. I do that now, but since I have two lines its super easy to do that.

Bruce
[Streak 5 General] maek_it_happen:
Camera is flawless for me I dont know what you guys are talking about ....pictures are better then some of the 8mp phones
[Streak 5 General] :
Normally iphone owners think the iphone is superior in every way, but I have gotten lots of comments from iphone owners about their jealousy and have converted 4 friends from iphone 3gs and 4 owners to streak owners and they all say that they dont know why they used the iphone for so long because android and the streak are far superior.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bay_wolf:
I just upgraded to the captivate about a week and a half ago so I could return it and get the Inspire when it's released if I wanted. I've been looking everywhere trying to compare the two and just can't make up my mind. So, what are some pros and cons of both?

Captivate-

Pros:

AMOLED Screen (4" screen is a pro for me)

Battery Life

Great Dev support already

Thin

Good Camera

Cons:

GPS not as accurate as I'd like

Samsung & AT&T aren't supporting it very well.

Inspire-

Pros:

HTC build quality

HTC Sense

Better Camera

4G Speeds (although my captivate has some amazing speeds with different modems)

Most likely better support

GPS

Cons-

Large non AMOLED screen

Thick

Poor battery life

Kind of a last generation phone (HTC desire HD) with added 4g speeds
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliderocket22:
I think it will come down to being able to see the two phones side by side once the Inspire 4G actually comes out next Sunday. I also am looking at it, because I've always liked HTC in terms of build quality and HTC Sense, but at the same time my Captivate is a more than capable phone. Sure HSPA+ would be nice, but it's not in my area yet, so I don't really have that to worry about at the moment. I plan on seeing how it performs against the captivate once it's actually out, and then deciding whether I want to buy it or not. I suppose I could lobby for it for a late birthday present, it is 3 days after my bday :) I'm not going to use an upgrade until AT&T has LTE phones available though, that would be purchased retail.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
Because I don't even use data, it doesn't even matter whether it's 4G or not; I just use my Wi-fi.

I think what it's really boiling down for me is just the great quality HTC builds their phones with, plus the fact that Cyanogenmod is already being developed for it.

While my Captivate has been nice for the past month and a half, I'm going to have to ring ATT Warranty ASAP and get the Inspire from them, tell them about my shutdown issues [I had a refurb Captivate to begin with], so they'll have to exchange it for me.

I'm not even going to wait for Atrix or Infuse, not worth it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippyg:
How will you get an inspire?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftylock:
I'm wondering this myself. I know that with Verizon if you have a phone replaced 3 times they will give you a different phone of equal or lesser value, but won't they just replace it for a captivate that doesnt have the shut down issues? I don't see how they would just upgrade you for free....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
At&T has already stated that they will not be offering me phone models to those who have had the shutdown issue. This is not to say that some nobody will convince them othwise bit the policy of offering a new model after three replacements has already met resistence from at&T even before people have had the opportunity to try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
It's not an 'upgrade' technically... ATT warranty will make you switch out the phone twice. The third time you call in, they'll probably be reluctant to give you a different make and model, but you have to insist. If that doesn't work, have them transfer you to either a floor manager [they walk around and have administrative rights], a supervisor [not always as effective], or the Resolutions team, which is just a group of administrators that are sometimes really helpful when you're trying to do this.

Obviously you'll have to wait until they actually have refurb Inspires, you're not going to walk in there on launch day and ask them for a refurb... You have to make it as if you aren't obviously looking to get a better phone. What I usually tell them is that the phone has [insert problem here], and once they send me the second phone, I'll check the IMEI, make sure it's in the affected range of IMEIs, and then report it again. By then, you can say something like you went to an ATT RETAIL store, and they told you to call in about this phone that is very similar called the Inspire. When they ask you why you didn't just replace it there, tell them that RETAIL STORES DO NOT OFFER RECONDITIONED PHONES.

By now, they've run out of luck and will process the order for you.

Cheers!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
The AMOLED screen sucks. Big time. Text is grainy. Solid colors and gradients look oily/rainbowy. Everything is oversaturated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
im thinking about switching to the Inspire or Atrix (Inspire just got more interesting as I dont like the pricing policiy on the Atrix).

I have had the Captivate for a couple of months now. Nothing wrong with it per se, it des everything its meant to, but I spend my time trying to make it have the look and feel of Sense!

Captivate has a great camera (better pictures than any HTC device I have ever used, and I have had many) and a bigger battery. Screen is very good, but I like bigger screens.

so Im going back and forth. Is there really anything that much better on the Inspire?
