[Milestone 2 General] okaban:
Probably i should send mine one back as well.

Bought a new Milestone 2 yesterday (from ebay, Chinese guys but as per retail package phones are for UK market). Put the SIM in just to check before wiping out everything from my old Defy. Made a call, checked the version and the menu and put the SIM back to Defy to backup all I needed. Plugged Milestone to the mains. 3 hours later found promising "Fully charged" on the screen and put the SIM in. That was it... Since I can't power the phone whatever I do. I thought the Power button went off as I tried to perform hard reset (x+Pwr), BRM (Arrow up+Pwr) and nothing happent at all. But then I put the phone on the charger again and the Power button worked fine switching the screen off and back on.

Any other methods to get the phone running?

UPDATE: It's strange and weird, but I've just had an idea to remove SD card and it worked - the phone powered on immediately!! Formatted the card using card reader, put it back - the phone works flawlessly. Fantastic! =))

Hey has anyone gotten PK to run on Honeycomb? I don't see it in my (working otherwise) market, and when I try to install via adb I get a:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]

This was similar to the error lots of apps were throwing right after the first NC root, but those were due to the lack of the location libraries.

Hi,

I tested some Nand builds and the best i found was -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC, unfortunately it does not support wpa2 eap network connections, and most of the networks i use use the above mentioned connection method, so i would like to ask is there some fix or patch for that issue. As far as i can see the build thread has been closed so i guess this is the right place for my question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
Hi all,

I tried to install multiple keyboards on my rogers Captivate, none of them worked. This is fine, I was just experimenting BUT I have a problem. I installed LatinIme as an apk and it shows up as an option in 'locale and text' (under settings). However, every time I select it it crashes and force closes. This is well enough, the question now is how do I remove it? It does not show up in Fast Uninstaller and I can't find it anywhere in my apps to uninstall it.

Thanks!

:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
if you have root explorer, go to \system\app folder and delete the apk.

also when you go to the settings->applications->manage applications, is it in the "all" tab?
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
What can you say about this rumor?

i think its true since google confirms it..

lol, looks like they are scared.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Oh come on. Let's be reasonable here. One dude at Google making a quote does not confirm anything. It's irresponsible to expect that he has any more information on the matter than we do.

The idea seems reasonable, but it also seems crazy for Nokia to go from being in total control of the entire platform to only having control over hardware, with Microsoft being so strict about software customization. I think it benefits Microsoft more than Nokia to do this unless Microsoft is paying Nokia to do it, which also seems crazy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
well i guess its true..

simple reason:

they have to make a choise:

1. android (linux)

2. iOS (guess not possible, osx)

3. WP7 (windows)

4. make new one

now which one does look the most like its still modern in 5 years without complete UI redesign. windows phone 7

now with all the power in cellphones

they are clearly mobile pc's

you need a major development team to keep the customers satisfied.

see windows has 80% of global traffic, you can see the power of microsoft there. im sure windows phone will be the most used mobile phone os in lets say 4-8 years.

zune is awesome, once you know it you will never want itunes again.

and sorry i went offtopic, but nokia does make the right choise if they get wp7 on their mobiles. look at our mobile phones as "window" into the digital world. microsoft just does that. in and out and back to life :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
im just playing when i said "confirm", anyway it looks so true.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jogabonitos:
I think that Nokia is doing this because in final step the will come back to MeeGo.

MeeGo is a big chance for Nokia, BMW or Asus want to cooperate with Nokia because of MeeGo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I'm not sure what you're talking about here with the 80% traffic.

mmm, what is going to suddenly drive the TENS OF MILLIONS of iphone users to wp7 ?

android is growing, rim is dying, and wp7 has yet to show -any- official numbers. please correct me here, and provide a source.

nokia can make awesome hardware, why should they limit themselves to one user base ? nokia wants to sell as many devices as vpossible, beit symbian, android, wp7, wm6.5, or anything. they don't care so long as it sells.

for once microsoft has to prove and win customers, instead of being able to force hardware suppliers to install their os.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
If Nokia decides to come on board, at least that would mean good things for lots of the markets where WP7 is crippled. I doubt Nokia would hop on a platform that lacks half of its functionality in their major markets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
maybe they can make it multi-task

[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
80% traffic, of the world, of all computers in the world.

even if its forced. its the force. windows is home os#1 by choise.

check this engadget traffic report

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/02/ios-now-accounts-for-2-of-global-web-browsing-traffic-chrome-r/

well this is based on data by http://www.netmarketshare.com dont know how they get their infos...

now who is driving iphone users to wp7..

good point, but its simple again, apple will do themself :)

its simple math .. iphone 1 was 1000€ on release day

that was around 4 years ago. since then every year a new iphone arrived.

apple will keep this up. but now, 4 years later your iphone wont receive any more updates, you cant use the software from appstore and you are forced to buy a new phone. you think twice if you spend a fortune on that again.

this is when wp7 kicks in. its not big now, but it will be in 2 years. people dont know it yet, but everyone i showed my phone loved it. people who used iphone for some years get tiered of iOS. and people are never satisfied, they always want something new.

another point is, there is only 1 (one) iphone .. but already now plenty of wp7 devices. now people trust in nokia for quality phones. they trust in mircosoft for quality software. im not saying they will only produce wp7 devices, but would be stupid if they wouldnt do even 1.

android, well, yeah its awesome, but not for average people. people who love smartphones in general all got a droid, but what about the people still rocking sony erricson feature phones, people with not much general interrest in computers or phones.

and i dont think wp7 has to proove anymore...

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
What do you think IOS wont change? Do you think it will just stay the same? What about any of the other competitors? Will they not grow?

People said they loved Zune years ago, has it overtaken anything?

Nice assumption, but its just that, and nothing realistic about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I would not mind nokia hw and wp7 software at all. It could be the best of both worlds plus nokia has been inching toward winmo for a while

let's be real they have and nokia has market presence that can improve microsoft awareness internationally. It's actually a good idea if executed right
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:

[Windows Phone 7 General] lapingultah:
Nokia build quality and engineering combined with WP7(+) software could be something really awesome. Symbian has been useless and outdated for ages, last above-average thing to come out from Nokia was E51 and that was back in 2007...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually, all these sources only speak about some "partnership". It doesn't necessarily mean Nokia phones running WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
Yeah but let's be honest here, the only thing Nokia has to offer is it's hardware - it's platform is all but irrelevant at this point. So unless Microsoft has been working on a WP7 deal, it has been wasting valuable time it should have been using to roll out a new update :-) .

[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well the question is - does Nokia see it this way? When you listen to SE folks they all go out of their way bragging how their software makes Android so much better and how they add so much value and so on. This is stupid, but that's their official stance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:

All the detail is there. We may at least see Windows Phones with decent cameras now, imaging was always a Nokia strongpoint so I understand
[Windows Phone 7 General] derliebewolf:
Just to share my thoughts on the (now true) story:

- Nokia might become a more important partner than HTC (as HTC also has Android, e.g.)

- Nokia might bring more diversified Hardware

- Nokia will get the opportunity to modify a whole lot in the OS (Elop confirmed)

- High quality camera an build might finally come to WP7 (look at N8)

- free turn-byturn navigation (offline) thanks to nokia maps

What probably (and sadly) won't be affected and change:

- lack of multitasking

- lack of USB plug-and-play sync (PIM)

How Nokia will improve:

- existing and well working plattform

- Get a foot in the US market again

- the ecosystem thing is already there and working

- huge community support (just look at XDA)

How MS will improve:

- more diversified hardware

- Ad another well-known brand to the lineup

- huge footprint und EU and other areas

BTW: HTC must beeing pissed right now, eh?

Your thoughts?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
more hardware choices and competition on price = win
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
awesome! but i hope i can keep my mozart for some years first....
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
HTC can't be pissed at anything, actually. They jumped ship to Android, the first ones to do so. They also used WM features like Smartdial to improve Android. They are making all their money on Android now, after being one vital part in making that platform viable. And HTC is a company that owes everything to Microsoft, actually, because it was MS that pulled them out of nowhere and introduced to the smartphone world.

So, nothing to be pissed at. Life goes on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
When did HTC jump ship?

If it wasn't for HTC, WM wouldn't have lasted this long.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
HTC responds

http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-calls-no...what-were-doing-promises-more-windows-phones/
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
They did keep WM afloat almost singlehandedly, but this isnt WM and judging by thier current WP7 lineup they have jumped ship in spirit, if not completely in practice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
No, not at all. They did the cheapest possible stuff. There's no rule that limits storage at 8GB max. There's no rule that says OEMs have to use cheap SD cards intead of fast NAND flash. There's no rule that says they have to use crappy 1200mAH batteries. There's no rule that dictates crappy HTC-style cameras.

So of course it's their fault.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Can't wait for a Nokia Phone with 32gb + Internal Memory, Micro SD card slot (hopefully by this point Microsoft will have solved the SD Issue), 12mp Camera with Carl Zeiss lens, Nokia Maps and a whole load of awesome :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] ghlu:
Nokia could have an awesome phone already by just beefing up n8 with better cpu and better screen and slap wp7 on it.

[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
The Droid 2 is my first smartphone when it comes to android and such. I bought it in October and ever since I heard about rooting/kernels/ROMs I have really been wandering about my purchase. Looking at the incredible I heard there was so much more available to them and I really began wandering even more. So I was hoping I could get some of you to confirm my purchase was in fact a good one. Especially since even with the locked bootloader I can still do most of what I want to do that people with an unlocked bootloader can do.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
the droid 2 i believe is just about technologically the same as the dinc, 1GHz processor, slightly faster gpu, same amount of RAM, but the droid 2 has a keyboard

also, if you look through the development thread for the D2, there are several roms available, and you can overclock the processor like you can with most android handsets, so you really arent missing out on much when it comes to modding the droid 2
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
I agree and think the Droid 2 is slightly better for various reasons. It is also my first Android smart phone.

I think unlike older droids (D1) the Droid 2 doesn't really need the speed increase an overclock can provide and ROMs don't need to change much because the devices have included more things we like.

This is kind of a parallel to the Xbox modding from the original to the 360. The original couldn't store games or connect with certain devices so people learned how to mod them (software or otherwise) and they became more usable to the user because they could now store more on the hard drive and be able to upgrade the Hard drive for more storage space. All of these things are included in the 360 which can still be modded (with difficulty and sometimes dire consequences) but it doesn't really need to because a lot of the functionality gained by modding the first xbox is already available on the new one.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
Coming from the Eris... yes, I absolutely regret getting this locked bootloader crap phone. A little more research before I bought would've been a good thing. Still would have been hard to pass up buy 1 referb for 50$ and get a 2nd free though.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Well I thank you for a response even if it was somewhat vague. What bothers you about the locked bootloader? We still have plenty of rom's. Can still overclock. Can still make backups. So instead of just saying the locked bootloader suxor, explain what makes you want a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
I used to swap roms all the time. Now when you swap roms to one made by another developer its recomended you sbf first. I could get by with never plugging the eris in to a pc. I could run different kernels on whatever rom which was very nice. I really miss cyanogenmod and the lock screen gestures. There's a ton more activity in eris dev and a ton more roms to play with. Hell, already got 3 gingerbread roms out for the eris. The locked bootloader has really limited this phone. The only thing it has over the eris is more mem and its faster. Keyboards nice too I guess. Id be sooo much happier with another htc though.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
If you care so much about the development on a phone, then you shouldn't really get a phone, seriously, that's not what phones are for. The rom selection for the droid 2 is just fine and you can already do everything on it that you can for most other phones, minus gingerbread. You should be glad that development isn't like what it is on the droid 2 global, with only one usable rom that hasn't been updated in over a month.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
youre right, I shouldnt have a phone. Thought this was a developer forum, my bad
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
Im not saying development is bad, im just saying that if you bought a phone for the development being made on the phone then its obvious your priorities aren't straight, im bummed that there isn't much development for the d2g, but so long as I can talk and text and do other things just fine on the phone and it last me a minimum of 1 day while doing it, then I have no complaints.
[Droid 2 General] bwhite757:
I hate to say it, but if you were that into ROM develepment, why did you make the jump after finding out about the locked bootloader in the first place? I had the Droid Pro before the D2 and then the Sammy Fascinate before that and the D1 prior to that. The D1 obviously had a lot of activity in the ROM department and was fun to play with, but I eventually got tired of changing the ROM so many times so once I found a good Kernel/ROM combo I never swapped again for the rest of the time I had the phone. When I made the switch to the Fascinate the weak reception forced me to get another phone and the DPro just came out so I made that switch and was happy for a while but couldn't handle the complete lack of development and the Blur was killing me. After reading about a ROM that looked good for me (Fission) I found someone willing to trade their D2 for my DPro and I'm absolutely loving this phone. Its everything I wanted, and I now have a phone I feel I can keep for the remainder of my contract and be happy with.

No remorse with the D2 for me.?
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
I never said that is why I bought the phone. I didn't even know about ROMing until the phone was in my hands for a few weeks. It is not something I find absolutely necessary but it is something nice to have.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
Sorry miketoasty, that rant was not aimed at you but at the former owner of a droid eris. I didn't like how he made such a big deal about the rom development of a phone
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
Who the hell are you to tell me my priorities aren't straight? ROM development is a big fn deal to me. It's my fn opinion, which i'm fully fn entitled to. Why my opinion and me stating my opinion when asked to clarify would cause you to go on a rant, especially on a fn developors forum, I have no idea. Get off your high horse buddy. If you don't give a crap about development of a phone that's all you. Maybe in the future I'd like to start developing. Never know, I do have a strong linux background. I can tell you one thing though... it's not going to be on this phone.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
I didn't find out about the bootloader being locked until after I made the jump.. see, I got two droid 2's for $50 total from verizon and my fiance needed a new phone... so.. I'm now the owner of a phone with a locked bootloader.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
You do realize that you are coming off as a bit foolish when you act like development on a phone is more important than the function of the phone itself. I don't understand how you can absolutely hate the phone just because it has a locked bootloader, its one of the best pieces of hardware on the market and functions perfectly fine even with the locked bootloader. You think that a locked bootloader stopped devs like ang to make custom roms? It shouldn't even matter. I never said I don't give a crap about development on a phone, im running fission on my phone that I've heavily modified, heck I used to be a kernel developer for a linux distro called auroraOS, go check out their website, you'll see a familiar name on their dev list. Now please don't pollute the droid 2 forums with such hateful comments about the device, most of us here love our phones.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
I stated my opinion of the phone. You're the one taking it personally and going off on a rant on me. Attacking me directly saying my priorities aren't straight. Did I say the people who own these phones suck? No, I said the phone sucks in my opinion and I regret getting one for myself. That's how I feel, end of story... sorry that got you sooo butt hurt. I respected your opinion of the phone, now respect mine.
[Droid 2 General] juliend:
You do realize you come off a bit foolish stressing how unimportant development and modding is on a DEVELOPMENT AND MODDING forum. Especially when you come back talking about how much you've modded your phone AFTER saying that as long as you can talk and text you don't care, because it's a phone.

Agree with you on the locked bootloader being a non-issue for the most part. Of course, were it not for the locked bootloader, we would probably already have full gingerbread roms for this phone.

3 of my co-workers have dinc's. I much prefer my droid2.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
I didn't say that you said people who own the phone suck, I just said that I believe you're reason for greatly disliking the phone is pretty foolish, especially since it can be worked around. Once a gingeebread rom leaks for our phones im sure that the locked bootloader wont even be relevant anymore.
[Droid 2 General] mordant80:
You'd think I did as personally as you took it. The locked bootloader is relevant to me. If it's not relevant to you, fine. I'm glad you love your phone, enjoy it. I happen to not like mine.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Alright well this has gotten a little out of control. I basically got my opinion down so if a mod wants to close this thread I think that would be best as the bootloader is locked and there is nothing any of us here can do about it.
