[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
There are the ups and downs of any store. You just got to be lucky.

The first time I went looking for an EVO when it launched, I went to a thrid party seller. They said the EVO was out of stock everywhere and we could use temp phones until they get some. So I got the Hero with a huge employee discount. They kept promising they were getting them in a week. Three weeks passed and now Evo yet. So wtf, luckily for the 30day trial I cancelled and went directly to a Corporate store which had Evo's that people on the list didn't pick up.

Two months later, that third party store called and said they have Evo's. lol
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
Haha lol nice links. :D
[EVO 4G General] evotech:
Imagine how frustrating it must have been for the employees at that store. They get paid on commission but couldn't sell the phone that EVERYONE wanted because Sprint was hoarding inventory for themselves. Trust me, it sucked.
[EVO 4G General] Quis89:
Lmao @ Sprint "hoarding" inventory. You have no idea of the frustrations corporate store employees went thru. Nobody was hoarding anything...
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol what? Hoarding for themselves? This is probably the funniest post i've read in a while
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I'm amazed over how many times I put an applications to sprint, T-Mobile, att, Verizon, and other multi carrier dealers only to walk back in a few weeks later to deal with a clueless boob employee. I told one owner after dealing with a dip**** salesman who called the evo a "droid phone", "ya know I applied for this job too" I have an evo, its not a droid, call it a htc, sprint phone, evo, don't say Droid. That just bugs me.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Maybe not sprint but I went into a radio shack and two of the employees both had evos, and bragging about how bad ass they were. I didn't get one that day.
[EVO 4G General] evotech:
It seemed to me that Sprint.com usually had it in stock. Telesales definitely had no problem sending it to people. Many of the people on my waiting list went to the corporate store or best buy because Sprint wouldn't let us VAD the phone for two months and we could only order six Evos for inventory every two weeks.

Sprint employee "Yes we have Evos in stock"

Me: "The new phone? This great phone called the Intercept just came out.."
[EVO 4G General] evotech:
I say "Droid". Verizon spends millions of dollars marketing the name, why not use it against them?

People like the word "Droid". They've heard of it. It makes them go "ooh".
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
thats false... the website never had it in stock! i got my evo on the 29th... i woke up at 8 am... saw it was in stock and ordered one, then by 12 the website was sold out...

I called telesales several times to no avail.
[EVO 4G General] disclosure:
I ended up having to go to ten difft corporate stores before I could find an evo that a customer didnt pickup. I didn't see any hoarding in fact a couple employees at the corporate stores couldn't get evos because the store manager said the customers on the waiting list had to get em first.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It was actually backwards.... Sprint didn't have any, we had to keep referring customers to BB's, RS's, Wirefly, etc...
[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
no spam here mates. before anything else, the pic as follows:

up for grabs are four (4) gel cases: 2 are black and 2 are white (i would say translucent). i own a t-mobile hd2 and i can confirm that the fit of these cases are not good. i read somewhere about the actual physical difference between the hd2 and the t-mobile version...which could explain why they don't fit properly with my unit. details as to why i'm giving these away are explained below.

if you're based in melbourne / or work in the city, etc...i can give 1 or all 4 of the cases for free. if you're based somewhere in australia, i can give them for free but i would like to ask that you shoulder shipping (probably 2-3 bucks). if you're outside aus, again i can give em for free and all i'm asking is for the shipping to be shouldered. i can give the actual quote/s receipt for shipping. please note: as mentioned these cases (in my opinion) are for the hd2 and NOT for the t-mobile version).

what happened was i ordred a flip-top leather case from ebay. the seller is based in hong kong and he had 99.6% positive feedback. so i ordered the leather case and after like 2 weeks the parcel arrives. inside were 2 gel cases (1 black and 1 white). i requested for a refund and thus returned the 2 gel cases. i received my paypal refund but lo and behold 2 weeks later i receive yet another parcel from the same seller. this time it contained 4 gel cases, 2 are black and 2 are white. so i emailed the seller and he responds by saying i hope i enjoyed the product and he looks forward to doing business again in the future. i know: wtf.

so there you go. do drop me a pm and i'll gladly give these away. want to make sure that someone can use em first before i chuck them in the bin.

oh, and i ordered a leather case from the u.k. and i arrived like 2 days ago.

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] xDhaha:
if you dont mind, could I get a black case?

Im in melbourne :)
[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
no problem mate. sent you a pm.
[HD2 Accessories] vasa13:
I'm from Czech Republic, is possible to send one too? :)
[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
no problem and i checked with australia post. shipping will be 8.5ausd. please note that you can buy the same cases through ebay at a much cheaper price. i've seen similar items being sold for less than 5 bucks (with free shipping). sellers are based in hong kong. i just wanted to point this out given that you can save like 5 bucks by going straight to ebay instead of having to go through our more expensive international shipping cost. but if you're set on getting them from me, no problem and feel free to drop me a pm.

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] Sklar:
May I have the Transparent one? England, UK.

:D Thanks!

[Droid 2 Global General] iNFiNiTY125:
Hi I just bought a d2g and I am rooted and running stock. there are alot of bugs and I really want another rom.

I am interested in fission but i want a rom that has the same "Blur" Theme and has the "Blur" scoical networking apps..

are there any roms like that? or can anyone point me in the right dirrection?

thx.
[G Tablet General] TheQuicksilver:
It seems both myself and another user, spanning 4 ROMs, seem to be having a marketplace problem I was hoping others could confirm. Whenever we try to set up an account for the marketplace, the setup app returns "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." I'm trying to figure out if this is our problem, or something gone wonky on Google's end. Can anyone else confirm? Is there an alternative way to force the account into the tablet through a hack of some kind?

* Note: this is setting up a new account, not when trying to do something under an account you've already added to the device.

UPDATE

Thanks to thebadfrog for piecing the bits together on this to figure out what was happening. He's also got Market Enabler available for download at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18721949/ch.racic.android.marketenabler-1.apk

Download Market Enabler, copy to device, tap to install

Open ME, select Settings List

Tap and hold on a carrier

[G Tablet General] dsholler:
Cant establish comms to google

I get teh same message when I try to do anything with Google. just got a new tab and flashed to Vegan plus the supplement. Any attempt to use a google ID with google stuff (GMail, google voice, marketplace) fails, but I can get the same gmail account through the regular mail client (not Gmail client).

Any idea what is going on.. please post..
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
I will most ceratinly confirm this, been messing with this for the better part of the day. I found a way to get a account onto the tab, but you can not use it to access the market, gmail and my calendar will access fine but no market love.

The "fix" for getting an account onto the phone was to login to you gmail account through the youtube app. It works but like I said it doesn't let you access the market.

Going to start assuming that Google is screwing something up again.
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
To add a little more, running the latest vegan and had the tab setup last night and working. After tinkering today I did a complete reinstall of the rom and that is when it quit. The other tablet that I also setup is still working and had apps installed today.

As a note to people with more knowledge then me, when I go to clear the cache for the market app, its greyed out and show a zero size.
[G Tablet General] hampmp:
I'm having the same problem. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
[G Tablet General] ajkid93:
I'm experiencing the same problem. I had it working with TNT Lite 4.2, then I went to do the market fix and it wouldn't connect. So I reflashed it and no luck. I even went back to the stock TNT and then re flashed clockwork and then tnt. I am thinking google may be trying to block us out or something, because this is not a Google approved device and I can log in on my Galaxy tab and Droid 1.
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
I assume that the approved devices may pay a royalty or something for market access. I'd be more then willing to pay a bit if it meant I wouldn't have to deal with this.
[G Tablet General] makaze1:
Having the same issue. I've had it working since Saturday, but after downloading Twitter, TnT lite 4.20 started giving me the "android.process.acore has stopped repsonding" error every few seconds, so I did a factory reset, hasn't worked since. I have reflashed TnT lite, stock, CWM, and Vegan beta 5 and I always get the same error.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I'm have this same issue with my eLocity A7 after a re-flash. Luckily I had re flashed my g tablet earlier and set it up prior to this mess.

If I wasnted big brother controlling what I can and can't do, I would have just gotten an iPad.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
...seems to me like Google's been monkeying with the market since the beginning of the year... my guess is that they're prepping for honeycomb & tablets...

The Google acct workaround is run the youtube app which will prompt for acct IIRC, or maybe add it in manually(been a while since I last did it this way) which will get acct syncing but market still appears to be borked for new people(according to posts), while people who had it previously setup, it is still working...

(Mine worked fine this morning, but I haven't tried it since then...)
[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
Question, since I have another working tab, is there a way to copy over its partitions to the one that cant get market access?

They had been setup using the same credentials, so from a user/password issue, having them have exactly the same info is fine.
[G Tablet General] TheQuicksilver:
Got a solution. Install Market Enabler and select a carrier. That'll make the Market happy again.
[G Tablet General] ajkid93:
I dont suppose someone has or will be willing to make a nandroid backup for us so we can restore it?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Install this apk to spoof Google into thing you have service

[G Tablet General] enigma0456:
Possible answer

Many many many many market fixes and reboots later my market is working fine. Even Appbrain. I did nothing different other than to stop google framework and clear casche, stop market and clear cache. For good measure I sometimes threw in Titanium backup to clear caches although I could see they were already empty. Then reboot - and wait and wait and then try again. There does seem to be some efficacy to letting the system sit for some time before you try the market again after rebooting but honestly I can discern no pattern. Once the market is working, you kind of get conservative about messing it up again. Now if only the wifi security would mysteriously fix itself....
[G Tablet General] GreenHornet:
+1 Thanks badfrog. Worked for me.
[G Tablet General] HiDig:
Thank goodness the Market Enabler works so well. Although I hope google fixes this problem. Last night my G Tab was fine until I flashed Vegan 5.1

Android FTW
[G Tablet General] EdKinsel:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend :D

After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.

Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.

First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?

I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.

*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilborama:
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.

Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commando0:
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............

but check download latest version of official rom

back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced

and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )

hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)

and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all :D

I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.

- The SD Card

- The SIM Card

I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Possibly a problem with my Device or HBoot? Could anyone point me to the correct RRU for me to reset my phone with? I am running the latest software version with a goldcard, the card won't mount when the phone is turned on, thanks.

When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!

Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madwormer2:
Having moved from MIUI to CM7 Nightlies earlier today, I decided to change my HBOOT to the specific CM7 one. It didn't stick, as it wouldn't let me boot into any ROM past recovery, so I decided to replace the the HBOOT back to Bravo Stock 1.8, and to try again.

Performed the following, after checking the MD5 hash:

>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY [ 0.082s]
writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 0.304s

After that any fastboot command just gave <waiting for device>.

Taking out and then reseating the battery has now left me with my device no longer being able to turn on, pressing power does nothing, and plugging into a computer, or even the wall socket yields no charge LED.

Obviously I've gone and done something stupid, all I really need to know is am I done for?
[Nook Color General] jannie777:
Have read and re-read many posts, but now very confused! Hopefully someone can help me.........

Need some assistance to fix my color nook.

It auto updated with the first use to 1.1.0 version.

I tried Froyo first but lots of glitches and programs that wouldn't run or shut down unexpectedly.

Downloaded autonooter 3.0 from xda site, for 1.1.0 and using win32 disk imager burned to a 2G SD card.

Popped it in and followed instructions for set up and it worked like a charm.

2nd use started up slow but worked and downloaded my apps and they worked.

Turned off the nook and placed on charger as battery was way down.

After a full charge would only boot to the "android" robot screen, will not go past that

and initially I could not power off. Then it went to a dark blue screen with nothing on it, then I was able to power it off again after quite some time.

I tried it again several hours later. Now powers on but to the "android" robot screen, and it will not go any further. (have let it sit for 45 minutes)

Removing the SD card is no help, unable to power on past the "N" on the screen.

FYI, the SD card I used did originally have Froyo on it (I could not access the Market though), So I formatted via a USB reader on my PC, before I burned the 3.0 on it.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
Running Cognition 2,2 (ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2) and it works like a champ.

Problem is mp3/wav/m4a playback....

There are no lags or skips or anything, just on certain audio files (all mp3 ripped straight from the CD) they just DO NOT play. They run for the duration of the song, but emit no audio except for a faint 'flash' (like a rush of an audience ovation or wave then dies out quickly).

Trouble shot this by

Running multiple media players (WinAmp, PowerAmp, Meridian, Tunes, Music Player, etc) to the same effect.

I have verified the audio files work. These same files have worked for years on my Sandisk e260, ipod nano, Blackberry, Windows Media player, etc.... I verified that the audio files work on my PC (running through WinAmp or Windows Media Player or VLC) before loading on my device.

The minute I play the track on the Captivate, I get the white noise playback, then when I eventually play the exact same file on my PC, it plays back as the 'white noise' heard on the Captivate (like it is erasing the audio once accessed on the Cappy).

Because of an error I was receiving with Meridian "not on SD", I figured that maybe because most of my audio files were on my removable SD card there was an issue there (so I deleted all those files and stock copied all my audio files onto the internal SD / device memory).....no fix.

* all mp3 downloaded from third-party sites like Music Junk work with no problem.

Could there be anything I'm missing to trouble-shoot this?

Appreciate any insight possible
[Captivate General] ballz0iron:
is this new, or ongoing? try flashing to the current cog build, and see what happens then?
[Captivate General] jlbryan24:
As stated above, flash the most current version of cog. Everything works fine for me with cog 3.4 including music.
