[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I always thought of it as installing a new operating system or a different version of. It. Cming from the same roots of the ROM or OS, you can just install a different, major update over it (Different ROM) and be on your way.

However if sonething is built differently from the start (Windows and OSX), you cant just install right over the other because there are problems.

I always start back at the beginning because it onky takes a few minutes extra and it makes the phone a whole lot faster; you clean out alk the gunk and unused folders and whatnot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
you definitely want to do a master clear if you do not start from stock, since there are some caches on your sdcard may ruin your new system.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:
Does anyone know how to do a Master Clear with Odin3? Or is there some other way we can do it without Odin3?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likiud:
I use the oneclick odin to do master clear. The master clear works on i896 too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convencon:
I've flashed my HTC desired today with LeeDroid 2.3d on clockworkmod recovery. I do the full wipe before flashing.

Now the flashing is complete. When I first startup the fone, it ask me to add an account so I entering my Gmail account and got an error: Can't establish connection to server. I double checked the wifi and got the browser surfing web without any problem, so I guess the wifi connection is ok.

Then I googled, and use a trick to login to Gmail account through YouTube apps. It works out and I have my Gmail account now.

The problem is, when I open the market app, it keeps saying: "A server error occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen". I cleared the cache, reboot, reflash, and it still gets error.

Would you please help me to work out please. I can't installed any apps now :(

Thank you in advanced.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
Try adding another gmail account, make one up, doesnt matter.

Add it in the accounts section, reboot and your market should work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convencon:
Thank you for your answer, but I already tried that. Not work :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
Im pretty sure its due to your Gmail account not being properly activated. I had the same problem when installing an older rom, had no connectivity as there was no 3G or WiFi and the Market place didnt work. The only way I know of to remove the standard account is with a "factory reset" or, wipe and reinstall the rom. I take it this was working correctly before you installed LeeDroId?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convencon:
Yes everything was working correctly before I flashed Leedroid.

PS: I did a factory reset, and now I can add a Gmail account now. Thank you a lot!
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I refuse to ever even touch a phone that has a dedicated Facebook button. That's just ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is that a company that I respect like HTC is falling for this non-sense (no pun intended). I guess I'm going to go with LG next time... :(
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
HTC is in the business of making money. Some people like the idea of a "facebook" phone. Good for them, and good for HTC for giving them what they want. It's not like this changes anything with HTC's high end phones, so who cares???
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I guess the same applies to Sprint and the Kyocera Echo? Sprint is in the business of making money and some people want a dual screen phone. Nice logic, Jack.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
So..you're mad because a company is trying to please its consumers, and make money.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
It is the same logic.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That is absolutely correct... by the way... a ton of people want the Echo. Probably none of this board, but believe it or not, there are tons of regular customers that want the phone
[EVO 4G General] skullshank:
facebook phones will flop, just like that piece of **** KIN from M$.

what a joke.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
What will be next? Phones shaped like a hand, to be used with your favorite porn site?

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
only if they do ballwashing
[EVO 4G General] skullshank:
see now THIS idea i like...

the HTC TUG
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Good concept, but you won't be able to see the screen while you use it as a hand. Unless, we get the Echo and remove one of the screens and replace it with a hand and then keep the screen on the other side of the hinge.

It could be called the Kyocera Fellatio.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
LMAO

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I understand the reasoning behind it, but I don't understand why it has to be introduced to all their new devices.

It's the principle in my case. I would feel awkward pulling out a phone with a Facebook button in a professional meeting. It's like HTC is trying to be that 'hip' friend that just comes out being forced and awkward.

Also, what about the other half of the people that don't have Facebook? What then? Are they forced to create an account to make use of that button that they'll most likely constantly bump into? Will it be assignable to whatever app they choose? Even then, it's annoying to be forced to see that logo every time.

FAIL!
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
The target audience for this phone probably doesn't include businessmen. And only 3 phones have this button, right? They announced other phones without a dedicated Facebook button ... did they not? HTC just marketing to a certain user base. Lame though, indeed. I don't deny that. But I wouldn't get too worked up about ... since I don't do that ish and wont be buying one. So why make a big deal out of it?
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
All I know is, if they have a facebook button, they better have a dedicated camera button.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Doubtful...
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Oh, I thought all the phones announced at MWC had this lame button. I know it isn't THAT big-a-deal, but it just makes the phone seem immature. I just hope Sprint doesn't claim one of those phones without also claiming others. After the horrible decisions they've been making, I wouldn't be surprised.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I'm quickly loosing interest in facebook, its becoming way too commercialized and now since they want to sell peoples info it just makes me want to participate less. I already get enough of that from my "Google" phone.

Plus my phone already has a facebook button, its called a shortcut.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Yeah, I'm lost on this whole Facebook thing. I mean, it's kind of redundant to have social networking on phone when a phone is the ideal method of social networking.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah no doubt, I don't get it and seems a little unnecessary ... I already hate brandings and logos ... so to think of having to look at that would drive me insane. Maybe its because I don't do Facebook ... but I honestly don't get the dedicated button either. Aren't there Facebook apps and ****? Browsers in phones ... I have to be missing something.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
It has nothing to do with functionality, but making money. You know Facebook will make money by allowing these phone makers to use the Facebook logo on that button.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Well, obviously. And while I didn't really read up on it much I thought I saw a mention of uploading pictures with it ... when you hit the share button doesn't that already have a Facebook option? I can't really remember as I haven't had Facebook on the phone since I first had it. I dunno, I'm sure the "reasons" aren't really as important as the branding, even though it isn't a "Facebook phone" per se.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I personally wouldn't buy a phone like that because I don't even have a facebook. That's right, I'm a rebel. But it'll allow the company to make some extra money, and good for them. Just like we [tech savvy people] saw the Kyocera Echo as an abomination, there will be everyday consumers that just want it to do things and want the ability to say "I HAVE 2 SCREENS!" and it like other things, will make money. In the end, 1 capacitive/physical button won't change the operating system of the phone, so no need to panic.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Your forgetting about hdmi out and a pico projector!
[Networking] spideramn:
I have an HTC Hero that I have working on PlatinumTel (Platinum Tel, Ptel) for voice, and SMS, but I cannot get the data working. It keeps saying I have incorrect login credentials and I can't figure out what they should be. Anyone have the settings for Ptel? Thanks a million!
[Networking] delawaresace:
I would like to know this also. I'm thinking of getting a phone for my son and PTel is the absolute cheapest, if we can get data to work.
[Networking] heymen9x:
up for user look at this
[Networking] booda3000:
wt

If u can't figure this out, U might be interested in the BYOD option through ACRS wireless.

There are 2 options:

1. Pay $40 and get your Sprint phone activated with PTel and 200 mins.

2. Pay $110 and get Sprint phone activated with PTel and 2000 mins.

Minutes or texts or data at PTels rates.

[HTC Inspire 4G] acedj123:
I got the Inspire 4G on launch day and haven't done anything to it except load apps. I noticed a few hours in while installing an app that the phone rebooted by itself right when the app started to download. After the phone was back up, I attempted to download the app again and this time it worked perfectly. It did this one other time with one other app but then things were fine...for awhile.

I started looking at the apps that came preloaded on the phone and when I attempted to start the Blockbuster app, it said that it needed to update and then the phone rebooted. When it came back up, I attempted to start the app again and it did the same thing. When it came up a second time, I went to the market and tried to download the update straight from there but it rebooted when the download tried to start. I did finally get the update to take, but the phone became very unstable for the next 30 mins, so I decided to uninstall the update and not play with the Blockbuster app again!

For the rest of the night, the phone would reboot from time to time and it would also freeze without much warning. Sometimes it would give me a force close message relating to Gmail or Messages or some other app before the reboot / freeze, but other times it would just do it. One time when it rebooted, it froze at the "rethink possible" screen and required the battery to be taken out before it would come back.

I did some reading and found a similar problem with the Desire HD. It too had some reboot / freeze / lag problems after the latest firmware / software update and after some investigation, it was found that if you enable USB Debugging in the Applications portion of Settings, most of those problems would disappear! I enabled USB Debugging as suggested and I can say that I haven't had a problem since...going on 18 hours.

I started this tread to see if anyone else is having these issues, since I have yet to see anything negative about the phone yet except the external speaker complaint, and to offer the USB Debugging possible solution.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
I have had one unexplained reboot. Was odd.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Sounds like u got a defective device. The first inspire ended up just rebooting by itself out of nowhere and then when it tried to start back up got stuck at the white HTC screen. The phone was completely stock. I returned it for a different one and now all is perfect.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
My Evo started rebooting until I had to get it replaced. If it keeps doing it take it back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattbe213:
This has to be an iscolated incident.
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
i notice my phone reboot randomly too. as long it wont freeze, or screen of death, i can live with it.
[HTC Incredible S] CaptainMoustache:
I love how sexy my INC is but the new incredible S is, well wow. No specs as far as I can tell yet but the landscape hardkeys are worth it already.

http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-incredible-s-first-hands-on/
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
Android central says it will sport a 4 inch WVGA super LCD display, rear 8-mp camera with HD capabilities, a front-facing camera, 1GHz processor and a whopping 768mb of RAM! The battery is also bumped up to 1450mAh

Of course with sense 2.3.2 too.... HOPEFULLY with a little gingerbread action?

I was thinking about getting the thunderbolt because I thought they were scrapping the incredible to make bigger phones but they answered my prayers! im waiting for this incredible S!

EDIT: actually it kinda irks me if it really comes with only 1.1GB of internal storage...
[HTC Incredible S] wdfowty:
Definitely no gingerbread action on an HTC sense phone, probably won't be for a little while (OEM, xda is a different story lol)

That's my next phone for sure. Unless I go to the darkside and get a cdma iPhone :D
[HTC Incredible S] zerocool79346:
Desire S is releasing with Gingerbread (at the least, the article stated 2.4 which would be Ice Cream).
[HTC Incredible S] Oddity:
I'm pretty sure 2.4 is still going to be called gingerbread. HTC said the Incredible S will launch with froyo with an update to 2.4 coming soon after.
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
I read it was being shipped with froyo and then skipping to 2.4 shortly after it's release.

This intrigues me.

It also says the incredible S launches next month? if so... that's freakin awesome.
[HTC Incredible S] zerocool79346:
This is what I was referring too. That article also stated a Q2 release for the Inc S so I would expect something more along the lines of late April to early May than next month.
[HTC Incredible S] Smokeey:
I'm totally up for getting an Incredible S but I really like the whole idea behind the Xperia Play...but that is Sony...and what if Sony decides not to support that...
[HTC Incredible S] m1rked:
Which they probably won't, plus I think I read that if you have purchased stuff over PSN you'll have to repurchase it for use on the Xperia Play. I'd just wait for the NGP :D
[HTC Incredible S] Incredible510:
So the new features are: Nicer screen, Front-facing camera, and more RAM?

I want more?

Lol.
[HTC Incredible S] zerocool79346:
And a way faster (well capable of being) processor and 100% faster GPU, not to mention much more battery efficient. People read that it will have the 1ghz Snapdragon and assume that it is the same as the one currently in the Inc, but it is far from it.
[HTC Incredible S] Gahh Its Lee:
But its still not as good as a dual core. Yea its better than what we have now but it could be better.
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
how do you know?
[HTC Incredible S] najaboy:
So many seem to be caught up on dual core being the end all, be all. Until the OS and apps are optimized for it, the only boost it will give is to your ego.

That being said, it doesn't seem as though we'll be seeing this phone on Verizon in it's current configuration. Qualcomm is notably silent on CDMA support in the specs for the MSM8255 chipset. It seems that this phone will be limited to GSM carriers.
[HTC Incredible S] JMac024:
Pretty sure this is GSM as well. Kinda sucks. 4 inch phone is about as big as I will go and I really don't even want to go that big. The 3.7 is perfect for me. The current offerings are just too big. I don't understand why people want a mini tablet to carry around?
[HTC Incredible S] jett2314:
Was thinking about getting a thunderbolt, but the incredible S looks sweet. Looks like I'll have to wait and see which feels better. Until I'll keep flashing ROMS and loving my Incredible.
[HTC Incredible S] zerocool79346:
Doubtful. They will drop this onto Verizon, probably as a SVDO capable phone. The entire basis for this phone is the Incredible, so it makes no sense to alienate those who have already bought into your product.
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
I think verizon will push to keep the incredible in their line up... The demand was pretty high for this phone when it came out.

Verizon stops selling the incredible in march and the incredible S is launching in march... I would be surprised not to see this in the droid line up.
[HTC Incredible S] Gahh Its Lee:
And just saying aandroid 2.4 is meant for dual core phones.. So there you go an os optimized for dual core... I'm holding out for quad core snapdragons.
[HTC Incredible S] najaboy:
Given it's current specs, it's a GSM only phone. To operate on VZW, they'll either have to add a CDMA radio or switch to another SoC.
[HTC Incredible S] zerocool79346:
I would imagine that they will find a way. The MSM8650 (in the Inc) was based on the 8250, so I would bet that something along those lines will happen as well. I cannot imagine Verizon or HTC losing the first phones customer base.
[HTC Incredible S] ThugEsquire:
No point in upgrading to a new phone unless it has a higher-resolution screen. The Droid Bionic's 960x540 is a letdown, when it should have been 1280x720 or at least 960x640, but it's still a lot better than some gimpy 800x480 display we have now.
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
I would agree with that... I am stuck. I can upgrade in march but I personally wanted and upgrade in screen resolution. Maybe I should wait for the next batch of HTC phones? I really don't want to rock a 4.3 inch screen...
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
I want the Pyramid to see the light of day, but I'm trying to talk myself into skipping the Inc S and waiting for it. Only time will tell if I have the willpower. The rumored qHD display of the pyramid should mean web pages actually be readable zoomed out, which is nice.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
I'm in the same boat, i like the pyramid on paper, but 4.3 might be too big.. 4 sounds about right...

No that's not what she said...
[HTC Incredible S] falconeight:
.3 of an inch....seriously? that is not enough difference to actually make or break the phone.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
Depends on the individual making the purchase. On a general level, no there will be plenty of customers for it.
[HTC Incredible S] Cock SParrer:
I always wanted to have the first Incredible, what a shame it's not available in Europe. That's why I think I'll be getting one of the new ones. Even though it will be hard to sell my HD2.

What I don't understand is why HTC is putting Froyo without sense 2.1 in it. Come on, it's the most powerful phone htc had shown on the MWC.
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Well, to me this looks like a very good device, the size is right and the features are there. I only hope the speaker is improved over the original Desire (and the HD for that matter).

My problem with the Incredible S is the price! Carphonewarehouse have an exclusive deal with HTC on this one and are bringing it in at a whipping £499.99! How can they justify that when it's a cut down (in some ways) DHD which can be had now for £390? This is especially puzzling given that HTC themselves at MWC have said that this handset is designed to site between the Desire and DHD!

If the price remains so high I would most likely pick up the DHD instead for the lower price and larger screen size - although 4" is plent big enough for me!

I wonder if this is HTC or just carphonewarehouse milking the exclusivity?
[HTC Incredible S] SoleAngelus:
Got my hands on one of these today for work. Its a very nice device, i have been comparing it to the Desire HD.

I now have to write a review on it :) full day to play with it.

So far im quite impressed, time will tell though :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
it's "officially" coming to verizon.

not sure why anybody doubted it.
[HTC Incredible S] SoCalSpecialist:
proof is in the pudding
[HTC Incredible S] SoCalSpecialist:
whered u see that?
[HTC Incredible S] PhillyCheez:
It showed up in their system...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/26/htc-droid-incredible-2-shows-up-in-verizons-system/

it's why i said it's "official" but of course there's that possibility it never comes. I think it's a sure thing now though.

It better be 4G!
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
I'm interested to hear how yet get on with this and your thoughts on how it compares to the DHD. I'm considering the Incredible S but the fact I can get the DHD for £180 cheaper makes it somewhat less attractive.

Worth the difference?

Can you possibly give comment on the quality / loudness of the speaker for both media playback and speakerphone use? Comparison to the DHD would be great?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Just order mine today, i wonder when it will arive.

In the mail they say its normal to wait up to a week.

Well come from the normal desire, think it should be a nice upgrade :)

And also would love to see it compared to other phones, but i think its pretty neat.
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Is this a contract upgrade or sim free? Where have you ordered from out of interest?
[HTC Incredible S] flyingkite9:
how is the loudspeaker? are you satisfied with it?hope not a crap again!!
[HTC Incredible S] Surethom:
Can anyone tell me is HTC has FINALLY for a proper mic on this phones as EVERY HTC so far has very tinny sound when recording video. If possible can someone record & upload some 720p video. Cheers :D

Current phone HTC Desire.
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Its a contract upgrade of t-mobile NL. But ordered it from Belcompany.

It will be delivered in 2 days, will keep u guys posted with specs and useability compared to the desire (oxygen 2.0)
