[G2 and Desire Z General] Roqueez:
I am absolutely satisfied with my G2. This is coming from someone that had the Sony Erricsson w580i for over 3 years. I need a phone to be absolutely functional with absolutely no lags when I am doing 15+ over the speed limit. I experimented with the blackberry and absolutely hated it. It was just so damned slow. I had the iPhone also and hated that too. It was flashy for absolutely no reason. So I went back to the Sony Erricson. I got the G2 when I had a stint with AT&T's roaming charges when I went to Canada and since then haven't looked back.

My G2 is really awesome. No really, it's great. Applications launch instantly like they were just waiting for me to tap them. I hate typing on the friggin' screen cause I keep on correcting myself so the keyboard works wonderfully.

After all this and I haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
wait, you want to exchange your G2 for a MT4G because the G2 feels cheap?

something's wrong with this picture... :)

(just yankin your chain, but seriously, the MT4G feels a lot more plastic-y than the G2.. surely you're aware of this)
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I'm not talking about the "plasticky" feeling. I mean it's like there's some give between the two parts of the phone so when I press down on it there's a little give. The G2 definitely feels solid, but this one little thing bothers me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Keirnoth:
No keyboard = no sale for me.

That dual core processor and 4.3" screen looks mighty sexy, but it NEEDS a hardware keyboard. That's the whole friggin' reason I got a G2. No keyboard = no sale.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
Got a.g2 for the keyboard and I do not even use it. This is my first android phone and I did not know about swype. So yea it is a life changer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rpmccormick:
And the G2 has wide keys with letters on one side and symbols on the other making it very confusing and hard to use in the dark... plus no dedicated number row.

No good hardware keyboard = no sale, that's why I returned my G2 and kept my G1. The only phone I like at all these days is the Sprint Epic 4G. Too bad Sprint doesn't work at my house (why I switch to TMobile in the first place).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Wow so you seriously went back to a G1 after you had the G2...amazing
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
yeah, I know exactly what you mean and it bothers me too. I can't imagine how any one would prefer this Z hinge to the dream's.. that thing was solid as a rock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DarkPyroGuy 09:
Same here, I need me a physical keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Wunako:
The keyboard is a HUGE reason y I bought the G2, I luv this phone... I'm always changing something but what I luv the most is the speed. I jus barely rooted so I might try n over clock it soon...

If anything, I jus wish it had FFC the screen is a good size for me
[G2 and Desire Z General] tsalate:
I to am a phone junky and when the pyramid comes out I gotta have it. 4.3 isn't that big really once you get use to it. I actually prefer 4.0 as my favorite screen size. I went from the touch pro 2 to the vibrant to the hd7 to the nexus s and now to the G2 and waiting for the 23 for the galaxy 4g! If you're paying for insurance get creative and use it. It helps me to fund my upgrade at least twice a year.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fallen Spartan:
How can the hardware keyboard be a minor bonus? It was basically the reason why most people bought this device over others in the first place (Desire HD for example). For it to be a true replacement, a hardware keyboard would be a necessity
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
It's a minor bonus because I don't use it very much, and the loose Z-hinge is driving me crazy.
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:

I would love to change this rom around and use something else... it's limited on video chat uses... ooVoo doesn't switch to front facing... I'm currently using my streak 7 for wifi only and using sipdroid to make calls to other people with the tablet... anyone else know some video chat apps that would be good with this tablet...

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Treken:
Can I create a background image and then overlay an image ontop with gimp? I took the gingerbread boot animation floating around here and modded it to work on miui incredible. The only problem is leaving the pixel size the same (480 410) gives it a thin yellow line above the image. The only way to get rid of it is to stretch the image to fill the height of the screen. It looks unprofessional when stretched. Any suggestions? If I edit the image the way I was thinking, I'll have to edit each from which will be very time consuming.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Yes you can. Just drop the layer (original image) on top of the background and then merge down and save it. Actually, just saving it and taking the export option should do it also. As long as it ends up as one layer and not indexed you are fine
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Treken:
Thanks for a speedy response. I will try it when I get home today!
[Desire General] solidsplint:
Helo every1,

I rooted my DEsire with stock 2.2 froyo bootloader 0.93,

i really need to use wifi proxy, can any1 plz tell me about a custom rom that has a proxy support in it, all help will be much appreciated,

thanx in advance :)
[Desire General] sh500:
No ROMs (indeed no Android devices in general) support Wifi proxy.

There are some 'half' work arounds on this forum somewhere.
[Desire General] solidsplint:
I dnt understand why google wont include such a basic support in their OS! this is really disappointing.. can u plz recommend to those forums u talked about r is there any app to make proxy work ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's on THESE forums, but until Google enable it then Android won't support it
[Captivate General] freekquency:
Started with HTC .. my kid just got his first (smart?)phone, my original TILT. haha thing is still working perfectly. After the tilt i really stepped up in the world with a FUZE, wow that thing worked great (but will only take being thrown across a room about 5x by my calculations.

Got my Captivate yesterday, WOW.

Like going from two cans with a string (well it is At&t afterall) to......

Help me describe the experience im at a loss.

Ok time to put more HD vids on the phone...

BRAVO to samsung for providing the user WITH useable storage too! nice to have 13 gigs to play with... HTC may have lost a customer for reals with this phone in my hand. (i lasted 1 years w/ the fuze, i may never flash this one - have to see how sluggish it gets as i fill it up)

Looking forward to helping out w/ testing and **** again around here.

wooooooooooot
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Give it a week or two..:p
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
For sure, stock blows. And if you expect Froyo from AT&T, forget it.
[Captivate General] freekquency:
Nah. havent even looked to see what it is yet. ;)
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
Hey now! I enjoy my Captivate just as much as him. Just because AT&T is about as reliable as Virgin Mobile's service in terms of providing upgrades doesn't make this any less of an amazing phone. Out of all the phones that XDA has developed for (That I've owned), this one certainly takes the cake for the most developed. I hope you enjoy your captivate! And if something goes wrong, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. >:D
[Captivate General] bames:
pure speculation to which i speculate you will be proven wrong...

i speculate the push to 2.2 starts sometime in the 1.5-2 weeks after the mobile ap app becomes available on the 13th
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
Overall it is a good phone.

A few aggravating quirks, but hey, I have yet to see anything perfect

Congrats on your new addition
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Glad you like it man. Great phone; just go and get a custom launcher (I have about 6 of them lol) and have at it; if you don't like TouchWiz anyway.

But yea, if you ever get bored of the phone you should definitely install a custom rom on the phone; makes it that much better.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Captivate General] dang3r1917:
I actually used stock for about 4 months or so. Partly was because I was unaware about custom roms, and when I found out about then I was hesitant to flash just because I never done it before. I'm pretty technological, built my own computers, overclocked and ect, but flashing was new territory.

That said, I am absolutely stunned with my phone now. I didn't think it was sluggish before, but now I can't believe I edited that long. I really wish I took a video of my phone at stock and then flashed. Incredible.

Basically, any lag or slight slow down your captivate will experience will disappear with a new rom.

Samsung Captivate

Firefly 2.0.5

[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
The more apps you have, the more you do, the more it starts to chug.

Big time.

My brother got one (and has since returned it), but after three weeks, that thing was unusable.
[Captivate General] volksrods:
It gets pretty sluggish after you have a few apps on it. I would definitely recommend flashing it because the stock just sucks...

Samsung Captivate

Paragon.RC5
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
Definetly recommend flashing it. Do your research first, but you will really know see the difference and come to the realization that most do...should have done this sooner.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
Glad you are loving your new Captivate. GPS aside, I think hardware wise it is a fantastic phone, but only realized this after flashing ROMs developed by the guys here at XDA. The corporate/tech support behind the Captivate is what most of us gripe about. Flash away and donate, as you will surely be pleased with what you find. Good work deserves reward.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
200 app an counting no lag here at all. Do the lag fix preferably ext4 voodoo.

[Captivate General] Thassodar:
I love the phone and have had it since August. No regrets minus the fact that AT&T are being...donkeys. Running Paragon ROM right now, stable as hell.
[Captivate General] groves226:
Yeah bro good phone. And rooting it to remove bloat made it even better. My girlfriend is jealous of it and she has a Droid2
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
You will become addicted to flashing soon...
[Captivate General] bms231:
haha reading this made me LOL. i was the same way. super happy with the phone when i got it. a week later, got frustrated with GPS not working. another week later, rooted phone to get rid of all the ATT crap that kept popping up. Then i decided to hang in there. 3 months and i wanted to throw the phone in a lake.

then i flashed w/ serendipity w/ speedmod and damn it was awesome! shows what the phone really can do. too bad samsung couldnt figure it out.
[Captivate General] TommyZee:
HaHa

better keep that can and string around. when the frustration sets in you'll need it :D
[Captivate General] kingtz:
Oh, yes you will. Especially if you want this little thing that is, ironically, called Flash.
[HD2 General] kousar:
Hello,

I just received my HTC HD2 from repair. And it work good again.

But now its got SPL 3.03. And i want to install android on it.

I tyrd to install 2.08 but he hangs on 0%. I also tryd MAGLDR 1.11 and 1.13 because i heared you need 2.08 OR higher to install android.

But also MAGLDR hangs on 0%.

I also tryd to go to the official HTC site and download roms. But if i put my serial it says it is not compatible with my device.

So my question how can i fix this or can i downgrade somehow.

Thanks in advanced,

Kousar
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Hello sir; MAGLDR 1.11 and 1.13 needs HSPL 2.08.

But HSPL and spl 3.03 isn't compatible. so the only thing you can do is to downgrade first your stock ROM.

Can you communicate us/me your actual stock ROM version 3.14.XXX.x? so that we are able to help you provide a earlier stock ROM (in case it is available)
[HD2 General] kousar:
I got the followed ROM version: 3.14.404.2
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Here you have the previous Netherlands: (NLD) 1.66.404.1 Download link :cool:
[HD2 General] kousar:
he thx a lot

but i was looking today and i saw that you can have them both, and i downloaded it but my internet on android 2.3.1 is not working

can anyone help or can some on show me the good room where evrything works fine

thanks

kousa
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Can you clarify your question/request. :confused::confused:
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
Hi!

Can you help me to downgrade mine?. I got SPL-3.03.00000 and ROM 1.66.412.1 (76641) ESN, where can I find stock ROM to downgrade? If there is some to downgrade the method is as normal?

Thanks, I want to change it to put Windows 7 on it!
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Spain: (SPA) 1.66.412.1
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
Hi again, thanks for the quick reply

I download that one some time ago but percentage stuck at 0%.

Is there some trick to do it?

Also, if I try it via SD renaming to LEOIMG.nbh I get this:

00028002

Not allow
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
The error you mention is probably provide by a incompatible aria ROM, ore you have a branded device.

Try to download the stock rom from the HTC webpage by using YOUR S/N ons you have this, communicate me the right stock ROM version that match your device so that i can look fore the previous one.
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
By using my S/N I can not download any ROM, it says Serial number not valid, its a Spanish Movistar phone
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Ow, that explain a lot; but these information is helpful. Moment then.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Okay, I have bean looking around on all servers I know; but unfortunately

the only official Leo Telefonica stock ROM what is bean store is the 3.14 :(

The 1.64.xxx Telefonica stock ROM in't bean saved.
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
So as expected, nothing to do until HSPL 4 is released....if ever is released.

I hope DTF get boring some day and develope it for people like me....

Thanks for giving it a try, sad the solution is nothing different from what I allready found :-(

Take care pal
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Yeah, my apologize. I will keep looking forward and if I can find the previous stock Rom I will contact you. :cool:
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
No goldcard solution?
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
I have read about it, dont know if I can do it with that method? Do you think its possible? As far as I know I have to pay for a number or so, right?
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Of course. Way I didn't tough about this (to busy with searching the 1.66 Telefonica stock Rom).

@ jrcalderon, tictac0566 was right take a look here on the link
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
Ok, I go for it now, I wont use my 8 GB SD card, I have a 2 Gb for WII, I backup this one and Ill use it.... lets cross fringers
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:

[HD2 General] Synoptex:
kurt-willems, awesome! Do you know everything? ))) Thank you for your help.

Still I am on Android, everything works fine for me... but i'm thinking of making a GoldCard for me. It seemed to me very difficult b4, but I'll give her a try. Not in a hurry, and have some spare 2Gb SD card.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
No, not everything. :D (I'm human) :)
[HD2 General] Synoptex:
kurt-willems, is there a possibility to make a GoldCard using Andrioid in my NAND. Problem occurs when trying to connect device to WMDS. Or HTC Sync... I have STOCK Android (CM), so my device does not recognises HTC Sync.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Personally I don't have a Idea. I'm not familiar with Goldcard; but I don't see a reason way it would not work.
[HD2 General] jrcalderon:
It works man, it does, gold card works like a charm, I did it and I have a de-branded phone ;-)

cu around!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesharrison:
Hello, sorry if this has been posted before but the search function is awful.

I have a UK i9000 (SGS) on Vodafone

I had my phone working great with some custom rom, Tayutama edition was my favourite. I dropped the phone on top of my computer, it went haywire and started resetting every few minutes. It would do it if you flicked it or jolted it so I assumed that it was probably a connector in the battery. It was not something I could fix so I prepared to phone so I could send it back as a warranty job. With a lot of work, I managed to return it to a stock firmware 2.1 (via ODIN), I have sucessfully updated it (via ODIN) to XXJPY and I am using kernel 2.6.32.9 hardcore_speedmod-k12r-500hz #6. My Phone is rooted with ch root.

I can get into clockworkmod recovery fine (by installing ROM Manager), i can install a custom rom no problem (it flashes correctly), but it refuses to boot after the flash process is complete. It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen (whether this is custom or the standard SGS gleam logo). It does this with various custom rom's and I was wondering what the problem might be. As I said, I could flash custom roms at my leisure until i dropped the phone, now it wont work. I am sure that it is not the phone that is phsyically broken as this sounds likely, but probably my flashing root.

To get the phone working, after flashing a problem rom, I must always use ODIN to flash JM6 with 512 pit and the XX CSC. Then I can flash JPY with ODIN (using an all in one package, so no CSC/modem etc), then root, speedmod kernel etc.

Anyone got any suggestions as to why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
do you have lagfix enabled on your speedmod kernel ? that can cause issues..

also how long are you letting it boot for ?? after a flash my phone can take upto 15mins to get past the boot screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesharrison:
last few times i had it disabled i think.

I did a full wipe of the SD card and the internal SD card, then flashed from download with odin successfully. Therefore the lagfix cant have been enabled as I understand it. I have disabled it the proper way (cant remember how) and still unsucessful.

In my experience it normally takes between 3-5 mins for the first boot, I had left it well over 2 hours once (to prove to myself that it was not my lack of patience) with out any change. I have tried taking out the battery, re-inserting it and booting again (for another 2 hours) and no success.

Is there a foolproof way to ensure the lagfix is disabled? Last time I tried a custom rom, I was coming from a totally stock firmware phone. No lagfix applied, no custom kernel, only rooted to allow clockwork recovery to install, should I try it again without rooting the phone, IE just using clockworkmod's update.zip at recovery?

miles
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5 download that and flash it with odin using the pit included and CHECK REPARTITION.. then when thats done flash JPY thru odin and then you could flash speedmod kernel thru odin..

when all that is done it will leave you with CWM and in there you can root / unroot You will be un rooted as default, also you can enable lagfix / disable lagfix you will have lagfix disabled by default too.

you are right about lagfix being removed when going back to stock.

so when all that is done your phone will be stock except the kernel, if all that works you should be good to start again..

just one more thing, when you are flashing a rom thru CWM you are choosing install update from sd card >> chose update from sd card right ??? you dont need to be rooted to flash speedmod kernel

Hey guys

Can you not skip tracks using the controls on the headphones in Zune? Just seems to pause/resume on my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stylopath:
Headphone controls as far as i know them:

- press once: Play/Pause

- press twice: Next track

- press 3. times: Start again from the beginning of the current track

- long press: Start voice command
[Windows Phone 7 General] JonP81:
Thats what I thought but neither the 2 or 3 button presses work. the hold and single press work though.

Dunno if theres some setting I am missing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JonP81:
would anyone be able to check this works on their phone, as I contacted HTC and they say WP7 doesnt support skipping etc from the headphone remote.
