[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
First off, I highly doubt that the US gov't would let a merger like this go down.

Second, I wouldn't be surprised that IF it happened, they would stay as 2 separate companies at the consumer level, but connected via management. It just doesn't make sense for 1 company to offer both GSM and CDMA concurrently. Are they just going to start only taking on handsets that operate with both CDMA and GSM? I just don't find this likely.

I sure hope that this doesn't happen. CDMA really needs to die, and I personally have seen the light of GSM and of T-mobiles slightly more customer-friendly approach. More than likely because their subscriber numbers are dwindelling, but the fact that they openly offer no-contract plans,

cheap

plans, and are flexible on many different things, I just hope they stick around the way they are. I know this isn't the most profitable business model (but it is still profitable) compared to Verizon, but its one that is necessary for those of us who see the ridiculousness of what the other carriers are charging.

I don't want Sprint + T-mobile to turn into another Verizon. It will just give them more ability to start charging $110 for unlimited plans like Verizon and AT&T do. Choices are good! People like Verizon, and their service is great, but I like my money more than I like Verizon.

Sprint sucks. Tmo would die like nextel is this happened. And I would be ****ed having to run back to verizon

[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
This has nothing to do with a single company implementing both GSM and CDMA. This is because SPRINT WANTS GSM, and tmobile already exists.

In upgrading to GSM, there are precisely two options; either implement it yourself (Canada/Belus), or buy one that's ready made.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
This is definitely interesting, but it makes sense. WiMAX sucks compared to the other technologies available, and GSM is just better overall too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxgolf:
I read that an industry analyst said this is likely T-Mobile selling their towers to Sprint and Sprint leasing them back.

I dunno if I believe that either, but that seems more likely to me than a straight up merger.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
What about Cingular and At&t? They were allowed to merge along with Sirius and XM... apparently the goverment doesn't care about monopolies. Excuse my spelling lol! Heck, at&t is back as mama bell. They were broken up but they're back now :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] khaosxiii:
True - any opposition from the gov quit when they took M$ to court and they realized that they had more money to spend on lawyers then the government could ever muster.

After this exon mobile merged, making the largest company ever known to man and there has never been a peep about monopoly since.

Since the government is pretty much funded by public enterprise at this point I wouldn't expect them to step in.

PS **** Sprint - they blow - the rumor before this one was that they were going to abandon all of their Clear 4G WiMax ancient bull**** and go to LTE ... so whatever
[G2 and Desire Z General] dadewy:
I've been a tmo customer for 10+ years (well, Omnipoint, voicestream and then T-Mo.) Overall, I've been pretty happy with them.

I was also a Sprint customer, briefly. There wasn't anything wrong with the service, the phone selection (for back then, pre smartphone) was OK, and they had coverage where I needed it.

However, it seems every bill, they messed something up and I had to spend 1-2 hours on hold and dealing with their crap customer service to get it fixed.

Every. Goddamn. Month.

That got old quick.

This was a while ago, perhaps things have changed, I don't know. I did swear "never again" when I finally gave up in disgust and cancelled.

I sincerely hope this doesn't happen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
I have been with T-Mobile over 14 years (Powertel, Voicestream, T-Mobile) and the only time I had issues was back in 2004 when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. They didn't have towers on the base, therefore no reception, but as soon as I drove off, full bars the whole way. If T-Mobile was to merge with AT&T, and AT&T be the dominate company, I'm gone!

I was trying to install Redemption 2.4 according to these instructions.

Well I got it to semi installed I think. When it was installing after step 4: Kernal, it said an error and that installation was aborted. When I rebooted it stayed on the Android screen for half an hour. I then restored it to a back then went through the Rom Manager and tried to install it that way but I still received there error but this time it did start in Redemption and it did say it was a success on the loading up screen. Is there anyway to figure out if anything is missing? Or should I just keep installing it until it actually completes the process correctly?

I will look for the guide here, the one in the Redemption 2.4 thread looks pretty simple, not sure if there is more to that. I keep getting this error on installation after Step 4.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
I too am getting this error. Although it's not all inclusive to Redemption Rom. I've tried others as well and get the same error when it tries to flash the kernel. I've tried it with CWM 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.8, 2.5.0.5...almost all of them. Currently have a backup with IncRom 1.4 that i keep going back to but just curious if there's a common ground here maybe with a certain kernel installed already/CWM version....anything.

Hi,

is it possible to create a local calendar on defy without creating a google account or add a google account in android?

So we can use the android calendar 2.2.1 as a local calendar?

Can we create the database an use it or must there be a google account insert in android?

Andy ideas?

Possible?

Big thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
dont think you can effectively use it without a google account as the android market requires one, for the minimum.

however, you can disable calendar sync so it essentially becomes a local calendar.

if you rooted, you can even remove the calendarsyncadapter.apk to make sure it cannot sync with google.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumcajsz:
Try Jorte instead of Google Calendar. It have local database.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwrsa:
:confused::confused:

I know this is quite old already. Yet this suggestion is quite useless to me, so the question of the TO is still not quite solved: To get Jorte you need a google account again (to access the market/play store). Any solutions? There is no market on my device/rom, and I'm not eager to install one either.

Thanks, MW:rolleyes:

[Desire HD General] ludey:
Hi all,

I have had my DHD for abit over a month now and love it, although it is very laggy now. The camera is attrocious (order of 10 seconds or more to take a photo), the contacts list takes about the same amount of time to load up. In general opening apps etc. is very slow.

This is after i have already enabled usb debugging.

Is there some way i can work out whats causing this lag? and fix it? its extremely annoying and dissapointing.

I already have a couple of task killers that clean the cache and kill apps every 20 min or so.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers
[Desire HD General] DelLoce:
I'm by no means an expert, but I do know (from experience and reading on here) that using task killers is the dumbest idea ever on Android.. Not only does it not make any sense, as Android manages the ram better than any task killer is able to, it also sucks battery and is actually often the source of MORE lag.. :)
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
I agree. However, I find that running a task kill right before attempting to shoot 720P video removes the occasional stutter-bug with afflicts the DHD from time to time.
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
Don't keep task killers on auto mode . Use it when required
[Desire HD General] gwmkwan:
solution:

uninstall all of the task killer apps

let android do the task killing itself
[Desire HD General] chunk1982:
What about stopping an app from starting up at boot can anyone recommend anything?
[Desire HD General] arpysystems:
which processes cause the lag?

Very often such a lag may be caused by a process running wild. Please use a task manager to verify which task uses a suspicious amount of CPU! There are plenty of them, I can recommend SystemPanelLite by NextApp as a start.

Please take into consideration that Android is designed very efficient and aware of low memory conditions (and the DHD has over 750 MB!), and that it should not be reasonable to use a task killer at all, despite the situations where a certain task has gone insane, which has to be killed then.

Best regards,

arpy

I'm searching for a good deal with this phone and found some really good one, but it's with Vodafone branding.

What do you think about it? Will it be a problem for me?

So do you think this will be difficult with branding?

Will there only be some Apps from Vodafone or something more?

Well once rooted im sure you can remove any carrier bloatware? so im sure the branding wont make it difficult..... the only remaining branding will be external? if it has it.

Make sure that the external drive is either extern powered or that the drive needs not too much current from the USB connection. If the power out of the folio is too low (or better the power consumption of the drive is too high) you might see a light on the drive but the electroniscs do not work correctly to get a connection to exchange data between the drive and the folio). Also make sure the drive is FAT.
[Legend General] Timothye:
HI .

recently my legend has been acting a bit strange .

i'll try and explain in short .

1:sometimes the back button is acting like the volume button. erratic raising of the volume and a flickering volume bar . can't adjust set the volume or back out from programs . hit home button sometimes cures this but not fully exiting the program

2: When i open Google maps and search for something , the search never happens just shows the map but no results . and the proceeds to lock up the phone . no buttons work except holding down the power button to shut down the phone .

..once powered down , the phone boots up into a window that shows , reboot , bootloader and i am not sure of the rest . with Androids on skateboards across the bottom of this window . strange .

3: once phone is on / back on . sometimes i just locks up for no reason . cannot use it at all , until i reboot / turn it off and then back on .

i don't have anything out of the ordinary installed on my phone, as far as apps , its basically out of the box default settings etc .

i have recently ( 2 days ago )

did a factory reset & formatted the 16GB MicroSD card .

last night while testing Google maps for the first time since i did this factory reset i started again . i was able to back out from Google maps . and it hasn't done anything strange today ( SO far ) but i wouldn't hold my breath .

Anyone else had something similar happen with their Legend ?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

I'm looking for a 'screen protector' for the keyboard. Similar to what comes on the phone when they are new.

I haven't been able to find any online, does anyone know of one available?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chinam4n:
There's isn't really a keyboard protector out there. There's only a rubber case that includes a rubber case for the keyboard.

I ordered myself one of these,

http://cgi.ebay.com/White-Silicone-...151471?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255fdda62f

I recommend the light colors so you'll be able to see the keyboard and know what you're pressing. I made the mistake of buying the black one and I can't even see what I'm typing in light. Only when its dark you'll see the keyboards black light.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pmcqueen:
I am thinking about making my own template for a keyboard cover that will cover the exposed areas around the edges of the keyboard as well as in between each key... in fact, now that I've read this, I'm going to start working on it right now.

if I get something worked out that is functional, I'm not opposed to loaning you my template so you can create your own custom cover. I'm planning on making it a one piece template and using one of the ZAGG screen-cover blanks that you can buy from office supply stores for simplicity's sake.

if it works, I'll post a write-up.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] IharpI:
Wont this result in a less haptic keyboard?

I mean, this Phone is bought because of the nice keyboard and when you put something over it, it isnt as good as before?!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pmcqueen:
the silicon "cover" would, in my opinion, make the keyboard less usable, but a thin strip of film won't affect its function.

to each his own!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] elliott2705:
I've still got the factory one on mine, but it is barely hanging on so thought i'd replace it. Will make a perfect template hopefully.

Whats the best way to cut it out?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pmcqueen:
you lucky dog!! I have been using tissue paper and drawing it with a pencil, haha.

since you already have a perfect template, I would just use a craft knife of some sort. a steady hand and some patience should yield a pretty decent template.

I'm using something similar to this
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] elliott2705:
i can scan it in if you'd like and post it up, might save you some time?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chinam4n:
Lol why would you waste your time doing that. You could just buy a silicone case that has the keyboard cover and use that template! Unless you're too cheap to buy one :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pmcqueen:
I guess I could do that, but then I have to wait for it to ship, and then I have a silicon case that I don't want. just seems wasteful, and I'm not a wasteful person. good idea for others who want to try and do the same thing though.

that would be much appreciated. if you get the chance, by all means, I'll use it. otherwise, I'll be spending a bit of my Saturday doing some hardcore tracing.. which is fine with me too. :)

How i can change destination for downloaded maps. I rooted phone on 2gb internal memory, but i want download all europe, is 1.9gb, i have after update rom and applications only 1.5gb free. On sd card i have free 6gb.

THx
[Desire Themes and Apps] monkeon:
Well, I installed copilot Europe maps before I rooted and the 2gb maps went to the SD. The app itself is only 20mb or so, on the internal memory.

Since rooting and having a2sd partition, I've installed gun bros which was fairly big. Again, the app is a few MB on the internal memory, but the data the app uses of 110mb is on the SD card, even though it could easily have gone on the a2sd partition.

I would say try it, it will probably put the 2gb map data on the SD by default.

I take it you have a 2gb a2sd partition. To clarify, by default I believe it will NOT go on there, but on the "regular" partition. And only ~20mb on internal/a2sd
[Desire Themes and Apps] mintvilla:
this is how android works -

Apps can not be bigger than 50mb, thats a google policy, if you need your app to be bigger (like many games are) then you have an app, that can download additional information (such as the maps from co pilot) onto the sd card.

If you have apps2sd partition on your sd card, then it just goes to the normal fat32 part where you store music photos etc.
