I found them both myself doing just that!

What is that a picture of?

Also, here's my splash image! This is the promo for the coming out soon NEW in 2011 Dark Horse Comic about the crew of Serenity!! Saw it on Nathan Fillion's twitter today.

Does anyone know if you can use the bootanimation for downanimation as well? Or is there something different in the structure or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] TpmKranz:
Answer

Though I think that this is the wrong place for your question:

1. Make a NANDROID backup.

2. Rename the bootanimation.zip you want to use to downanimation.zip

3. Copy it to

/data/local

(using your favorite method of writing files there)

4. See if it works.

5.a If so: Hit "Thanks".

5.b If not: Restore your backup and repeat step 3 with

/system/media

or

/system/customize/resource

and proceed. (If you reach 5.b again, attach the downanimation.zip and I will try to find a solution for you.)

Soo... I think the USB port on my T-Mobile HD2 is gone. I can feel it jiggle around when I plug in a USB cable... that and nothing happens when I do. No charge, no USB notification, nothing. Not even plugged directly into the power adapter.

My question is whether anyone knows any way to repair the phone for cheap? I've taken the phone to several cell phone repair shops, but no one can do anything without sending it off to HTC. If they do that, then HTC will charge me a crapload because the custom software on the phone somehow must've caused a hardware problem. Because the USB port is broken, I can't flash back to factory, soooo... there's nothing I can do there either.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marbed40:
My first and only suggestion is to look for the not working phone body of HTC HD2 at ebay.com or similar. If You have some manual skills it wouldn't be so hard to replace it by Yourself. Of cause it is almost open heart surgery but it is possible to do by DIY.

If something like this would happen to me I would do so. You can look for only micro USB port to take it away from other non-working device like old camera or mp3 player or other phone.

Why they decide to use mcroUSB instead much solid miniUSB i don' know.

You can also look for micro USB connector

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
You can put a stock winmo rom (LEOIMG.nbh) on the root of your sd card and boot up into bootloader by holding the volume-down button while booting. Then the bootloader will detect the .nbh and ask you to press a certain button to install it. Then you can send the phone off to htc, it will be completely stock.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h.nocturna:
Wish I could, but apparently the cell phone repair shop that tried to fix my phone decided to tell HTC about my custom ROM though he told me he would be doing the repairs (only reason I left the custom ROM on there). But they actually decided to ship it to HTC. HTC decided to record the serial number so I can't send back to them anyways. =/

About the DIY repair. Would it just be a case of re-soldering the USB port back on the phone? Or is it something more technical? I'm asking because the cell phone repair shop I tried out said that they needed to replace that entire board. AFAIK, that board is the mainboard. Doing so would require buying another HD2 body, but I'm afraid that would cost far too much as I am a college student with ridiculous school fees and a very low income.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
1: aww dude that sucks, they got you by the serial #

2. I have a broken micro-usb too, saw the disassembly vids, and it looks to me that the m-usb port is attached to the mainboard, and you have to consider too that if you try this as a DIY project, people have had wifi coax become damaged, lcd/digitizer damage, who knows what else from 'professional' repairs, let alone doing it yourself.

2 options, get a card reader and an external hd2 battery charger (and preferably a spare battery), or have the micro-usb port fixed by someone else or by your self.

The external charger and spare battery is cheaper by far, i paid only like $8 for each, and it's surprisingly reliable and practical.

Hope i helped :cool:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pyrorob:
i would totally call out on that shop and demand they fix it, since they ruined your warranty by sending it off to htc without your consent..

also, search on ebay, theres a cellshop in texas that repairs the port for $50, you mail it to them takes about a day and they mail it right back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TopOfNewYork:
That sucks...I feel like the micro USB on my hd2 is about 2 die...if the phone moves at all connection and charge is lost. why oh why did these bums pick micro USB there's got 2 b a reason

To me is a serious design flaw...I mean its only a matter of time b4 the micro USB will fail on each and every hd2 regardless of how much u baby it device (which most of do)...after a certain number of charges the port goes bust

IMO the micro usbs put 2 much pressure on the port itself it's simply not big enough/solid enough of a connection to support the weight of the wire itself and over time gravity loosens and destroys ur port until u can't even.charge
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I agree, the micro-usb is crap. Had my hd2 for like 2 weeks and i broke it by the charge cord getting caught on my foot, sending the phone flying. Luckily, i found that i could get a connection to my comp by holding the cable 'just right', flashed magldr and cwr, and just charge my batteries on the external charger now. I was stuck on the winmo 'test' rom for like 6 months lol.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JDM Civic EG8:
dude same thing happened to me yesterday i was charging my phone and i got up to do something. And the cord caught on my foot and the phone went flying also. and when i tried to charge its like if you move the phone even the slightest it looses connection. But i found a fix that worked for me. im using my external hardrive cord to charge. the connection is a little thicker and fits in there perfectly so now i can move it and it stays connected... Only downside to me is the cord is really short
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h.nocturna:
Yeah, I railed at him for a good 10min in the shop with customers looking (hope I drove away some of his business...). He said that he couldn't fix my phone because I had *illegal software* on it... really? I doubt that a software problem caused the microUSB port to just break off the mainboard.

I've also looked at the disassembly video, and it doesn't seem impossible, but the cost of a micro-usb port is around $35 from what I gather. I think it would take some soldering to replace it, but I have neither a solder nor the experience to attempt it the first time on a $400 device.

I guess I'm stuck with the microSD adapter and external charger for now. ~sigh~ Maybe I'll try another internet-based cell repair shop. Anyone know anything about cellulardr.com? It's based just a couple miles from where I live and they have the part in-stock with a 50% discount that brings the price for repair down to $35 + $35 for parts which is a little high... but if it gets the job done...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jemma132:
I'm a [fraught] example of the result of thinking the usb would somehow last if I was just gentle. Who was I kidding, it was shot to pieces.... I've dropped £100 fixing the phone's screen which resulted in the volume buttons and vibrator dying (I argued till I was blue in the face- before I demanded they reglued the screen back on, a day after it had been 'fixed')... Damn crappy little repair shops, no leg to stand on.

And now I can't charge it.

Waited 2 days for a wall charger (and believe me that was hard as it's my work phone) to find that nomatter how long it's charged for it's dropping from 80% to dead in about an hour no activity.

I wouldn't mind so much but to have finally found a rom I liked, right through from WM to SD android versions to now Cotullas Nand, I'm reluctant to give it up, even though it's more than likely on it's last legs.

Why do phone manufacturers make crakcing phones which **** hardware and builds?

You answered that question yourself when you said:

If they made these things more reliable, they'd never have a means to convince you to buy another device :D .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mogkupopppo:
well a usb port repair is totally possible with just an soldering iron, but you will need a fine tip for that and some flue that does not require cleaning. if any of the contact pad came off you better know where they go or find a way to trace where it goes. if they are broken and you find where they are connected you can use a copper wire taken out from copper brace to bridge them. lastly a broken usb port from the motherboard will never be secure again, so you have to put some padding under it so it will not be moved again; otherwise it will break and may take some contact pad with it in which makes it harder to repair again.

I fixed one of these before with only 1 broken pad that I can trace. so it is definitely possible to be done, but it will be very hard if this is your first time repairing phone. it is possible to rip the volume flex cable like I did. It took me 4 hours to solder flex by rewiring copper wires.

By the way hd2 usb port is only 7$ from eBay.

P.S the good thing about fixing phone is that, I got it from eBay, fix up, and working at $120 XD

Woow I thought I was the only one! I feel all your pains man..

First things first, those of you whose USB is still working, get clockwork mod set up before the USB dies.. at least with a card reader you could still flash thru zips.. I got an external charger and an extra battery as well, now I feel like my hd2 was sorta reborn! Haha..

Dunno bout you guys but I'm starting to feel that our beloved hd2 is slowly being abandoned :( really sad thing.. and I blame the hardware problems for this trend..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Nah, it's just nearing the end of its life cycle. There are better phones coming out now with faster processors and more resources to run bigger software and flashier graphics.

The HD2 has actually stayed on the top of the hill for a surprisingly long time, and in some ways still is.

The biggest difference with the HD2 compared to other phased-out smartphones, I think, is that the HD2 is still very useable even though it is well beyond its originally intended amount of time in the limelight.

I notice this whenever I dig out one of my old devices that I haven't used in a long time, like my Kaiser or Rhodium. They are so slow and basic that they're almost unuseable, where the HD2 is fast, smooth, and seems modern still.

But the mUSB port on these things is ****. Mine's been half-busted for almost a year. I have a wall charger and extra battery, and if I hold the cable just right, I can usually get a connection to the computer, but it's just easier to pop my sd card in one of my old devices to connect to pc and transfer files. The mini-USB ports never gave me near as much trouble as the micro ones, I wish they'd have never switched. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danfard:
Hi all,

Just thought I'd let you know how I fixed my HD2's loose / non-functioning microUSB port.

I've had similar problems for the last 6 months or so - dodgy microUSB connection resulting in massive amount of fiddling in terms of getting the cable just right, then pretty much completely screwed!

I took receipt of a HTC Sensation a few weeks ago, so decided to spend a little while opening up my now redundant HD2. Dissasembly is pretty easy & self-explanitory, but the leaked videos showing you how to do it is pretty useful. I'm no whizz at these things, but even I managed to do it (mostly) with just a kitchen knife (forgot where I'd put my small screwdrivers, which I eventually found, but everything seemed more dangerous & exciting with the knife).

ANYWAY, I've managed to secure a completely loose microUSB port which means perfect charging & USB connection again. It was incredibly loose & just fell out when I separated the mainboard from the chassis, but I put a bit of rubber I found under it (soldering iron is for pros... I'm winging it here!) & secured the mainboard tightly with screws.

I mean, there's probably a better way to do it, but I couldn't be arsed using any more ingenuity than required... it's a Bank Holiday after all, and the solution seems to have worked pretty damn well.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi, I can only charge my HTC HD2 phone using the USB port, but I cannot use the usb port for activeSync and USB function (data transfering). I wonder if the USB posrt is dead already?? Why the phone still can be charged via the USB port? Can anyone tell me how to fix this? :(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Caticorn:
So I'm one those sillies with widgets everywhere, particularly using Desktop Visualizer. But I'm also one of those sillies that flashes ROMs with profuse frequency.

Using ADW, when I backup and restore, the regular shortcut icons always load fine, but the widgets do not. Is there anything special I can do? My screens take a good half hour to rebuild from scratch.

I've tried most things I can think of. Obviously I always have desktop visualizer installed before I restore, I've tried restoring the apps involved with titanium in just about every configuration, but I can't think of any more options.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] duckbill22:
There are two specific Kiwi issues I would like to discuss.

Does anybody know where to obtain a stock ROM for the I9000 from Telecom New Zealand? I believe there is only Eclair, but would like to be proven wrong. I may require this in case of any warrany issues and to reset before upgrading to Gingerbread (at least I am led to believe this).

Which modem are you using (again Telecom NZ) on your custom ROMs? I have tried a few and I am currently using JL2. I had to flash this separately while using Darky's ROM 9.3, which worked fine in some parts of town but not at all in others (I presume it could not handle the 850 band).

Many thanks in advance

I9000T - Darky 9.3 with Speedmod and JL2 modem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
I believe JL2 is the correct modem to use. Do you have a Telecom SGS as the Vodafone one obviously does not support the 850mhz band that Telecom requires. It is possible that the rom/modem combo you are using disables the 850mhz band which would explain why some parts of town aren't working. I'm pretty sure there is a way to enable it if your hardware supports.

As for the thing about the stock rom, I think maybe you should ask people on the Geekzone forums - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=62267&page_no=323

Keeping all the New Zealand info in one thread for neatness.

I've just moved in New Zealand from UK. I have UK SGS I9000.

Which New Zealand network would you recommend getting a Sim Card for?

Should I switch my ROM to a New Zealand based one? Hoping to use the free SatNav software too (is it called Navigon or something?), in case this makes a difference on ROM choice.

I've been told that 2degrees is the cheapest network.

Are there any hardware / software limitations on which network I should choose with a UK unit? 850Mhz band availability?

Love to hear your thoughts...

Thanks

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 General] duckbill22:
Welcome to NZ. The network will depend on your location: 2 Degrees is cheap but has low coverage in rural areas, Vodaphone is ok in cities. I am with NZ Telecom, they get a bit of flak for problems they have had in the past. However, they are investing huge amounts and have the best rural coverage. Please be aware that your phone will have to use the 850 band in some areas.

I recommend the JL2 modem (ROM kitchen) and Darky 9.3 with Voodoo kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nzroman:
I'm with 2Degrees and they're cheap. But as a poster above had mentioned, the coverage outside big cities is limited, especially for data. This of course will change with time. Plus I'm a big supporter of NZ owned businesses.

Vodafone is a horrible company to deal with. Plus they have a lot of network issues everywhere in the country.

I have heard good things about the XT network (Telecom) in terms of speeds and coverage. If I wasn't on the tight budget, this is what I would choose in NZ. I hope this helps. :>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] digitalcoder:
Just a quick correction, coverage is fine as the device roams on Voda when out of zone. So if there's voda coverage, there's 2degrees coverage (data is not as cheap though).

I'm using CM7, JPM. All seems fine.

Hello from Hamilton.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
Thanks for the advice.

I'm probably going to be mainly in the Wellington region, so should have reasonable coverage on any network. Glad to hear that 2degrees has roaming on Voda though.

Will my UK I9000 SGS have 850MHz band available in the hardware? (sorry if this is a silly question). Will it be used if I have the correct firmware? Is 850MHz band used by all networks in NZ, or only for some networks?

All of the networks appear to be quite pricey for data. Who are the most cost effective for data? I'll be looking for either PAYG or Monthly Sim Only deals.

Thanks again for the great info.
