I think he said he couldn't bill the upgrade to VZW if he got it at BB.

Sent by my Droid Incredible
[Thunderbolt General] deadpixell:
yea if you buy it at best buy you pay the price of the phone to best buy
[Thunderbolt General] puventhar:
nice news lmao
[Thunderbolt General] xetas:
"First come, first serve" - Makes no sense on a pre-order. Your not getting anything tomorrow...they are PRE ordering yours. So, you definitely will get one if you pre-order.
[Thunderbolt General] atpjoe:
I think they only can receive a certain amount of them so it seems to make sense.
[Thunderbolt General] deadpixell:
first come first serve as in pre-orders get priority in getting the phone, and they won't hold a pre-order sale for you
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I pre ordered and no one had even tried when I got there. Literally the first on to pre order :-D
[Thunderbolt General] bobbysteels216:
Cool. I preordered mine today at BB and they told me that I could pick it up on Valentine's day as well.
[Thunderbolt General] NCX Designs:
Eh, I'm waiting till Verizon has it, i asked BestBuy if they did 1 year contracts or full retail price if you can't upgrade and the answer to both was nope.

i did confirm though that they do have accessories already on sale, like the ones leaked on AndroidCentral by Platinum Series (aka Seidio)

also, don't go by any handset reviews until after HTC's MWC event, i have a feeling some features are hidden to preview blogs until its announced, namely the Htcsense.com features which are currently not working on preview handsets. Pocketnow seems to be having similiar problems with the Inspire 4G saying that it doesn't have access to download anything from the website hub. i think its because:

1. The website isn't fully launched yet nor does it have either of these phones as supported phones on the website, Yet.

2. HTC is likely to launch the new website on the 13th, the same date as the launch of Inspire and there event at MWC where its likely they'll announce new features for the website too (one can only dream anyway, if you recall the teasers in December early November they were touting regarding music and video support via the cloud, aka Htcsense.com which was later confirmed as an upcoming feature. and with Verizon touting media playback as a feature for LTE handsets, alongside of Netflix and other media features via LTE.

We can only hope that the launch event is soon and that the Thunderbolt gets a proper launch, they screwed up on the Droid Incredible launch and didn't support it at all, so i hope since this being there first 4G phone that we'll see huge support from Verizon and third parties.
[Thunderbolt General] kkpsichologist:
Same here. Actually, I was the one that made them aware that the TB was going on pre-sale to day. They said they were so busy getting the iphone ready:rolleyes: that they had no clue the TB was going on pre-sale. HA!
[Thunderbolt General] jimmypopulous:
Every phone at BB can be purchased outright without a contract. Don't let a misinformed salesperson tell you otherwise.
[Thunderbolt General] NCX Designs:
thats good to know, although when i even asked them if Verizon will be getting it too or if it'll be an exclusive (just for kicks) they answered "to be honest, i don't know for sure at this point but so far yes its an exclusive" and they also added that "even with Verizon i know that some of there upcoming handsets they won't allow you to get a 1 year contract" lol can you see through that bunch of bull or is there not enough two-ply to wipe it away, i never was a fan of bestbuy's salespeople, they lie through there asses just to get a sale.

does anyone know if you can put down more than $50 towards the purchase if your going to be paying full retail?
[Thunderbolt General] deadpixell:
Yes but you will be given two giftcards, because the first can only be pre-loaded with 50 dollars with the sku they scan.

Also most all phones can be sold outright. But during a phones initial launch best buy reserves the right to sell phones only to customers do upgrades/new activations. That's why I told people to confirm with the store they bought from as if they can buy it out right.
[Thunderbolt General] mmarcz:
I went to BB this morning and put down my $50 deposit for the presale giftcard, and I'm #3 on the list. I asked them what day it's going on sale, and they said the 14th or 15th. I asked them directly if they have any in stock as of yet, and they wouldnt give me an answer.

I'm looking so forward to this phone. Sprint and my Hero have been awesome, but 4G is a real gamechanger, so I had to re-evaluate everything before deciding on a new phone, since I am up for an upgrade on Sprint. All the tech articles and reviews that I read seem to point to 700mhz LTE being the superior product, versus 2.5ghz WiMax, due to its ability to better penetrate walls and buildings. Especially with Sprint charging more fees now, there really isnt a big chasm between them and Verizon. And really, having good signal where you spend time the most (work), is really whats important.

Im not even porting my number directly. Im going to open a new line on VZW, with a new number, then port my current cell# to google voice to cancel that line. Then I will have full control of both numbers, and no one will even know that I got a new service/number. Thats my plan anyways.

Offered to buy my wife an iphone since she seems to have weird issues with her Epic 4g, but she doesnt seemed to be thrilled about it. I thought it would be a slam dunk. Guess Ill wait to get her the iphone 5 this summer.

[Thunderbolt General] NCX Designs:
As if BestBuy will say, some of there employees don't even know if they have any stock in the back room, mostly because of security reasons and i'm sure if they got caught telling customers they had the stock and the customers go back to the store and or talk to a manager that "so and so told me you have the stock in the back, why can't you sell it now?" crap like that can cause problems so they never answer that, only way to find out something like that is to know someone that works there.

Luckily for me I know some higher up sales professionals at Verizon corporate stores, (mainly because i used to work with them when they were assigned to the satellite location inside our Circuit City). so if and when they get the stock early or receive the dummy units, i'll know, of course those certain people would have to be there at the time or i would get "we don't know yet" or "nothing has been announced, still waiting" answer.

Most informed employees that take there jobs seriously know when these devices launch before the official announcement, its just the ones that don't take it seriously don't look at there communications via there training terminals to find out, of course some launches like the Incredible were super secret and the ThunderBolt is probably no different

I was able to find out about the Droid X before its date was announced and even got to see the dummy unit a few days before it went on sale to compare in size.

but i will say this much, everytime i walk into that place i only want to talk to the people i know in there because the other sales people are douche bags that lie to you about everything you ask them or they pretend to "want the phone" for themselves to hype up the selling point of the device when you know there with AT&T or another carrier.

its hard to say though sometimes since most employees are required to have a Verizon phone with active line of service while on the sales floor, deceptive but it makes them look good i guess

wow, i strayed well off topic, ignore that LOL

but i will say this much beyond that, Verizon is probably loving all the hype thats building for this phone considering its not even dual core (which i could care less about). All the release dates floating around the interweb, leaked document shots and in the news nearly every other day on some website or news blog has to say something...

lets just hope Verizon doesn't screw this launch up like they did with the Incredible

Hi,

Is anyone able to connect to the internet with barnacle on 2.1.1.A.0.6 ?

I'm trying with the same settings as the previous firmware that were fine, but it doesn't work anymore...

Thanks ( Sorry for my English )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hi :P

I got the same problem and can't

connect to my NB.

Tested few tools for tethering but none of it worked

fine.

At least Barnacle:

It works fine and it is showed in my NB connections

as a peer-to-peer but I can't connect to it.

Tried changing some settings but it still can't connect.

Hope some one could fix the problem.

Xperia x10 mini pro

2.1.1.A.0.6

Barnacle settings:

WEP enabled

Channel 6

Skip wpa_supplicant ✓

Auto associate ✓

WAN rmnet0

LAN auto detect

Hi

Can you please show your settings to us ;)

Maybe it would help us ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Devilover:
I get the same problem, Since I upgrade to 2.1.1.A.0.6 barnacle doesn't work..

Tested few tools for tethering but none of them worked fine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
No problem for me using barnacle on the latest firmware. Try reinstalling the barnacle or just use titanium back up to restore the apps. Apps is known to malfunctioin when updating or changing firmware
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
I use the same setting, except different WEP passkey. I use either WEP passkey authentication control or just NAT control, just use random port which starts from 2xxxx.

try re-installing the barnicle.

here the settings I used:

For NAT Control:

WEP : disabled

AutoAssociate : off

Access Control : checked

NAT Reserved Ports : 20009

For WEP Control:

WEP Enabled : 6 or 9 (having conflict with other device, or its only me).

Access Control : unchecked

I don't use both WEP and Nat control at the same time.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bergi84:
After a few trys and some observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.

After some Trys i found a workaround:

1. Start Barnacle

2. Press Associate

3. Try to connect with your Computer

4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate

My Settings are:

WEP Encyrpting: Enabled

Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled

Auto Associate: Disabled

WAN: rmnet0
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hi

i tried your workaround,

but it isn't working.

After I entered the password, my netbook immediatley

said "Can't connect to network".

I tried to press Associate, but you can't be this fast ;)

So I still can't tether my connection ...

But thank you for trying :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bergi84:
When i retry it 3-4 times it work for me, but with the previous firmeware barnacle work much better.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hi

I still can't collect,

but I got to that point,

that my netbook says "Enter password"

But when I enter it my netbook

is loading and then again says "Can't connect to network" -_-

Even though I press asocciate when it is loading

or when I enter the key ...

I tried it many times with little changes,

but it don't work ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
now Im having the same problem, I have it working for almost a week, but when I update the barnacle to newest(via android market).. now it is not working even without NAT Control and WEP enabled. I think this is a bug on barnacle release rather than the SE update. coz I got this working on 2.1.1.A.0.6 using old barnacle copy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
any chance someone still have an old version of barnacle?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
I haven't yet tried reverting to this copy. its a very old copy of barnacles. see

thanks! i'll try this one, once i got to tinker with my sister's lappy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hi ;)

i tried it with the older barnacle.apk

Installed it, set settings an started

but i stil can't connect :(

But thank you for searching this older version

for us :cool:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
same problem here .. my computer and iPod can connect but the problem is that it's taking me several tries before my gadgets can connect.

i even have to press associate several times and turn on/off barnacle but most of the times it always fails.

with the previous build, my gadgets can connect without any problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TPADroid:
I have loaded the myn's warm 2.2 ROM with the themed launcher pro add on (link on site below), however, when I choose the launcher pro action, I lose the clock/weather widget you see on most ROMs. How can I use the launcher pro add on and still keep the clock/weather widget?

I REALLY like the toolbar look on the add on, so basically i want to combine the cool looking tool bar (bottom) with the clock/weather widget.

Thanks!!

anyone please ? or anymore info on it ?

Ive had it a few times...I kept my eye on it for updates and when I noticed an update I downloaded it to try it again. Works decent...pretty nice launcher, really nice idea from the dev...unfortunately its still quite laggy so I decided against using it.

If you can't find it, I could download it and send you the .apk file...hell maybe you would love it lol
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mrljlamon:
first i need to make sure ur not referring to the netfront life screen launcher ?

i have that already. im looking for the FlexUI.

if u can get me that then yes i'd much appreciate it . just to try it at least and if its laggy i just wont use it.

so yes if u can get me that then yes please man.

It's inferior to all the options already available. That's probably why it hasn't been done.

In what way is it inferior?, have you used a Galaxy S more than for a few mins?, after a weeks usage I liked it better than the all of the NAND ginger ports by a long way. I would have kept it but I prefer the versatility of the HD2.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Right.. I know this i early to think about it but.... I've noticed the Atrix uses the same connector as our visions have (In roughly the same place too) to connect to the laptop dock, this got me thinking... Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to use the dock with our Visions :p Although that is of course if the phone fits and we are able to extract what ever software the atrix will use for it or a rom port :D

Just an idea ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Flippy125:
I was told at CES by the guy at the Moto booth that it wouldn't work (he also refused to answer my question on overclockability XD). Assuming that that was just a marketing thing so people would buy it, (if the phone can handle it) we should theoretically be able to port over the ROM, but then again we dont have 1gb of ram
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Thanks ;)

But yeah.. that is a good point... Although I hope it doesn't require all that Ram... And I'm sure clocked at 1.8Ghz our phones could handle the cpu demand :D Albiet with a crappy battey :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Flippy125:
Actually, when I was comparing the quandrant scores of the Atrix and the G2 @ 1.8 GHz, the G2 beat the Atrix by 400 points =p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MacaronyMax:
:eek: Damn.. That's a fast phone... And at stock speed :eek:

Ah well... :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
I love the idea of the laptop dock with the Atrix. What I wasn't loving so much is the pricing... I read somewhere that the phone from AT&T (with contract) is $200. You can get the phone and dock for $500... And in order to get the discount on the dock, they are going to require customers to purchase a Tethering data add-on as well.

That's more than what I paid for my Desire Z OFF contract! o_O
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] the_fudge:
cables

if we could port the software, im sure a female-female micro USB cable would allow the phone to be connected to the dock... just an idea
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] harolds:
This is not correct. The USB ports may be in a similar place but the Atrix has a docking port (not on DZ) specifically for docking to its other devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Ahh I didn't notice that in the image I saw :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
Wow just saw the laptop dock for the first time, pretty freaking cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] TrueYears:
Dont really see your logic here

Atrix utilizes a dual core chip by nvidia

CPU	Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset

The guy saw that a G2 overclock to 1.8 beat the Atrix which is a DUAL Core phone ( hand over fist, thats 2 GHZ vs 1.8 GHZ or 1 ghz X2 Vs 1.8) by 400 points ............. Dual core processors SHOULD NOT BE doing this for us

doesnt make sense we need to overclock a DUAL core cpu to beat a SINGLE overclocked cpu............
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dictionary:
You're totally missing the point of dual core phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] TrueYears:
how am I not seeing the point of dual core phones?

doesnt matter how many cores a chip has if it cannot perform better than a single core chip
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bled82:
I think if some one would get USB OTG working on the g2 we could get a MIMO monitor and that would be just as good or better than the dock . If we get the rom ported or if some one would work on OTG and drivers for this .

http://www.mimomonitors.com/
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dictionary:
It isn't as though both cores are running at the same time on the same exact process. If that were the case then you'd be right. I'd love to see a dual core OC, since again, both cores aren't being used for the one process, and see those results again.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rewen:
I believe you need special USB hardware to provide USB host functionality.. and I don't know if the Desire Z / G2 has this?

If that doesn't ring a bell, what I mean is that USB on a portable device like this is pretty limited. Basically you can charge it and use it as mass storage/slave device to a computer.

But a USB Host port allows the phone to be the master and other plugged in hardware to be a slave. Most phones don't have this afaik

Dear seniors

NEED YOUR HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE….

I’m wondering if there is away or application to setup WAP on windows phone 7, because I’m not capable to add proxy and port setting as I can in ANDROID and windows mobile 6.5…

Thx in advance

Best regards MOIISSE
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceo4eva:
If you have one of the Custom WP7 roms out there (not the original DFT_70 thing) open up the marketplace and under HTC apps, there should be Connection Setup. Download that.

It should automatically detect your APN and configure it for you, if not manually select your APN and you should be good.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] moiisse:
Thanks for your quick reply

I tried connection setup, and I did choose my carrier connection setting, but I wasn’t capable to browse into my explorer.

Cause I need to configure manually the proxy and the port in WAP setting.

NB: that’s what I did in the last android ROM I installed on my beloved HD2

Hope you can tell me about a way to add the proxy in the APN

Thx in advance Mr ceo4eva

Best regards moiisse
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jianototi:
Same as Moiisse

:confused:

you can see the wap or APN selection tag from the selection menu in (connection setup)

but,in fact you can't change or edit the proxies or ports as they are hidden.

therefore,the question is how the setup is reading and what it reads' from the network (proxies,ports,passwords,etc...we can't access these information.(as w 6.5 or Android phones)

is HD7 a 3G phone only....?!?!?

tnx moisse for this issue...and i hope someone can solve it!! registry code or something to unhidden these infos.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] moiisse:

i was reading about registry tweak editing,

it seems a lot of registry was done and enabled a lot of hidden features
