Thank IM for that post.....Normally I am not one to read long posts but you covered everything that I was curious out.

I have an EVO right now and even though I love it. I loved my Zune HD a lot more. heres to hoping that the arrive lives up to hype I gave it.
[HTC 7 Pro] intx:
They're not 'android trolls', this was originally posted in an Android forum for those who were considering switching.

Your post reconfirms most of what I experienced with the device, although I still feel Android is the more polished/ready to go OS, the Arrive is a good entry level device for WP7 and does everything it's intended to do quite snappily.
[HTC 7 Pro] jasonchiu:
i've had one for two three weeks now.

happy to take photos or answer any questions.
[HTC 7 Pro] DevalB:
I'm not sure I agree with the comment on Android being polished, if anything, WP7 has a much more polish to it out of the box.

I just upgraded mine to the final build, same one which will be available tomorrow (I believe) through Sprint, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the snappiness of the onboard apps. I use my phone for work, and some play, and I find in my limited with the device how many shortcomings my EVO, Epic, etc. had.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is an end all, be all device, but color me impressed.

I bought an Arrive on Sunday

Hey,

Former Android user. Switched to the HTC Arrive and really liking it so far. Not as many apps as Android or iDevice but it has most of the big ones I use.

Waiting for a proper Google Voice client. Also looking to port my number (now for free) when Sprint and Google do their thing later this month.

Having trouble syncing Facebook in Accounts. Getting error that there is a sync problem.

Very zippy (compared to my old Hero) and seems to have all day battery life. I'll see how that goes as the week goes on.

I have the same minor complaints as the previous posters but overall am having fun with this phone. I was already a Zune Pass holder - so loving the integration with that.

If you have any questions or want me to check out something, just reply to this message and I'll try to help you out.
[HTC 7 Pro] Savage1969:
Delete mail from phone only, not on server (POP mail accounts)

I have a question: How in the world do you get the email sync to NOT delete mail from a POP server when deleted from the phone? This option has always been available on previous WinMo systems, but I can't find it anywhere. I prefer to hard delete email (from the server) from my laptop only, not my phone.

Another thing that is killing me is I can't find a way to display contacts with company name then contact name like the old WinMo's option within editing a contact. ("XYZ, Inc. - John Doe" instead of "John Doe" or "Doe, John")

Thanks and have a good one.
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
I don't think there is a way to not delete the email from the server if you delete it from your phone.

As for displaying the contact names, the only way that I can see that names can be sorted is by first name or last name. No option for company name. In case anyone else needs to change that, in the people hub click and hold the word "People" banner at the top until the settings pops up.
[HTC 7 Pro] kuluminati:
I have been doing some looking around and I am having a hard time believing that custom ringtones can not be used on the Arrive. Is this true? I heard people say that the update that was suppose to be with the Arrive, the one that allows Copy & Paste should have something in it for this. Can you current Arrive owners help me out here? I want to get one, but I would like to customize the noises it makes. Thank you!
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
You cannot currently add your own rigntones, prior to the NoDo update unlocked phones had the ability to do this. I am sure this willd come down through an update in the near future, personally to me this is not very important, I haven't used a custom rington in many many many years. With that said, however, many others would find this to be a big negative.
[HTC 7 Pro] pwllem:
My understanding is that custom ringtones will come in the "Mango" update. Has anyone had experience with Netflix and the Arrive in a medium sized populated area? I live in NE WI and it's not as hevily populated as lets say, Brooklyn, NY or even Atlanta, GA but a suburb of Chicago would be about right. I'm getting the phone either way to upgrade from my Hero. I like the Android OS but don't like that I have to fiddle with it to totally get what I want. Just a regular guy who gets his tech fix elsewhere than the phone.
[HTC 7 Pro] Savage1969:
Yes, it is completely dependent on DL speed (just like Netflix on a console or PC). Wifi is always best but it's livable on 3G. In crappy signal areas it's all but useless.
[HTC 7 Pro] DevalB:
I use mine daily on my 30 minute bus ride from Manhattan to Jersey, and it works fine, yet to hit a buffering message.

Can't Save Mp3 or mp4 music.

I cant save mp3 music on the htc Arrive. I used to download from Mps skull. And now it just plays the song but does not save it. Any on know the answer to this.:mad:
[HTC 7 Pro] DevalB:
You have to use Zune to sync the music
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bluemonde:
So I received a few Pm's asking me how to change the fonts, so I'm going to post a how to thread.

1) I'm not responsible bla, bla,

2) I'm not taking a credit for this, I'm just sharing how to do it.

Requirements:

Must be rooted

Root Explore or Astro

Desire fonts

1) surf the net for any fonts.

here's a good start point.

Font Collection

2) go to setting / Display setting / Font Style and select "Rosemary" for now.

3) go to: /system/fonts and copy DroidSans-Bold & DroidSans and save them

(incase you want to back to stock)

4) download desire fonts package to SDcard and MAKE sure the file names are (DroidSans-Bold.ttf & DroidSans.ttf)

5) Paste the 2 files to /System/Fonts (using Root Explore or Astro)

6) exit and reboot SGT.

7) go to Setting / Display Setting / Font Style and NOW select Default Fonts

Done. and enjoy.

I hope this helps.

I'm Using Sony Fonts here's the link: Sony

the files are already named properly.

here are some screen shots

Yeah i didn't see that post. I Google's and found the Android Police post and downloaded there. Seems to work, July still says "not supported on your platform" on Vegan 7. Dang! I still have high high hopes for the first beta release!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mcp2009:
Just tested and works nice. Wish there was a way to test 480 on the youtube site
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
mcp2009

You could play videos on youtube in 480p format on G tab.

Do these steps:

1) Go into your youtube account settings, after signing in.

2) Click on "Playback Setup"

3) Checkmark the option "Always play HD when switching to fullscreen (when available)"

Now on Gtab when you watch a video just double tap it to full screen and it will automatically go to 480p.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mcp2009:
forgot all about that thanks man. Just did on an episode of =3 and it ran perfect in 480p :D I love this tab

Edit: i think audio may be off a little
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tekrhino:
Sweet!

Works nicely, no noticible difference from 10.1

I don't get it though, who comes with these release dates anyway?

If it's ready to go just set it free because in the age of twitter and XDA, if someone gets thier hands on it before the release date it's going to spread like wildfire!

:cool:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Butch1326:
Agreed. It's works but no noticable difference. It still takes a minute+ to start a live video stream on ESPN3. It always feels like an eternity...

I'm running Vegan Ginger and haven't installed this yet (still have 10.1 from the market). I'm wondering if it will make a difference with this ROM until the next release when hopefully the hardware video acceleration files will be baked in to the rom?

Remove the current Adobe flash from G Tab and install the attached version and then Hulu should work if using the Dolphin browser with useragent set to "Desktop" and run plugin "always".

Hey everyone.

I'm a fairly recent Dinc convert, but I started out with a Droid X. I like the HTC keyboard, but I really love Motorola's stock multitouch keyboard. I did some research and it seems like this was ported to pretty much any 2.1 device. Now that the Incredible is on 2.2, none of these work. Does anyone have a port that works on 2.2? I'm running Skyraider 3.5 right now.

Use playon, much easier to get hulu to work than hacking flash. but it works. There is a hack flash around that makes hulu think its a desktop, and then you have to set the user agent int he browser to desktop.

LOL, it is for 14days.... its almost worth it till they release official app soon. Plus you can watch netflix and tons of other sites.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wgarrido:
Did you make sure to click test when you enter your user/pass?

Also make sure you enable mobile access.

It works great for me, I mainly use hulu though.

I am trying to decide to buy it or not. My 14day is up and it worked great.

It depends if/when hulu comes to xbox/android. Maybe get playon for a month or two instead of buying it IDK.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
It is a nice service / software. An android device plus the PlayOn client app should be all I need. If the real-time trans-coding / streaming was part of the service, that'd be worth paying $15 for. Until they shed the computer in the middle requirement though, I'll pass. Yes, I know I'm probably asking for too much.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
My First Post! How's it going everybody! (Newb Alert)

I just purchased a Bell HTC Desire Z from a classified ad off of an older man who found that the phone wasn't fully functioning. The poor guy probably paid around $400CDN for the phone, but I ended up eventually buying it from him for $250.

Here is what is wrong with the phone:

1. Power Button-does not work, neither on or off...basically fully unfunctional and only way to turn phone off is battery pull...fun stuff! (planning on using the Teardown/Repair guide by verkion - recommended?)

2. The In-Call speaker (where you put your ear while talking on the phone) seems to have very limited sound, perhaps something has been destroyed on the inside, how all other sound mechanisms work, such as the external speaker and internal speaker w/ headphones. (planning on using the Teardown/Repair guide by verkion - recommended?)

3. The Digitizer, well parts of it (along the left edge of the phone when upright) are unresponsive, so called blind spots which when touched are unresponsive on the digital keyboard along with the home button (house shaped icon) - especially frustrating when browsing web pages because I have to click back like 10 times to get home... (planning on using the Teardown/Repair guide by verkion - recommended?)

4. It is a Bell branded phone, Locations does not work! however I have done the research on the forums and I think I can figure out the whole Rooting thing out, but advice is appreciated! (planning on using gtrab's FAQ for Dummies for the rooting, s-off, and de-branding)

Now...I am not really technologically inclined to the level most of you probably are, but I am good with my hands and really interested/curious about this whole mission I need to complete, so I can fix this phone myself instead of paying $100 for cell phone repair...plus its a nice challenge right? :)

Do you guys recommend that I take care, or at least attempt to fix the power button issue before I root the phone to a previous, unbranded firmware which will allow me to use Locations? This only makes sense right, because I am going to need the power button for that process?

I know this is a lot to ask, but I just need some pushes and shoves to get me on the right track to try and get this to work, so if it is technologically impossible or excessive...please let me know how I can fix 4 of these problems methodically in a safe and professional way!

Once again, I appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance

EDIT: My prediction is that the individual who originally owned this phone dropped it and as a result the digitizer, power button, and speaker were all affected...but of course I am no expert.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliott2705:
To me it sounds like the flex cable has been damaged. It would definitely cause all these things at once.

I'm pretty sure you need to fix the power button before rooting because you need the power button to actually root it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Hmmm,

Never thought of that but it sure seems like a better diagnosis. The flex cable originates in the bottom half of the phone in the same compartment that the z hinge is found right?

It is also the flexible strip that runs through the middle of the phone when the hinge is half-way positioned, connecting the lcd/digitizer to the main motherboard of the phone?

I geuss replacing the flex cable would still involve the Teardown/Repair, however I dont think I will need to replace a power button, speaker, or digitizer IF!...that is the case.

Any other ideas on this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliott2705:
Yes thats the flex cable, it is built into the pcb behind the lcd, so the whole pcb has to be replaced AFAIK. Yes it requires a full tear down to do it, fairly basic to do, my phone is in pieces atm because the lcd needs replacing.

If the flex cable is the problem then none of those parts need replacing, it would be very unlikely in my opinion for all those parts to fail from a drop without it being flex cable related, possible though.

Link to the teardown, some steps in the middle are unneccesary for what you need. http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Hey, do you know where I can get a replacement pcb if I decide to take that route man? Seems hard to find that as a single part for sale...

I assume people replace their whole phone if they have a problem like mine :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melodicjunkie:
You wasted your freaking money on that phone!

250 is a huge waste!

You might as well add a line to your friends for the contract price.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
it's not THAT bad...considering a brand new one unlocked DZ goes for 450+ and i knew I could fix parts of the phone so for -200 cheaper...i don't know bro!

I just need to know if a replacement pcb is possible to get, or maybe just the flex cable is damaged in which I wouldn't need to replace something so crucial.

Who knows what to do?

EDIT: 450 where I live...Ontario, CA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvnaderwal:
...i dunno...could even be water damage that did the deed to that phone....in which case you could be replacing a pcb...or not....I've seen water-loged phones come back to life before....sad thing is it might cost you a few to fix it properly...

Totally agree 250 was to steep...that guy probably paid 79 on contract for it....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Wow about the whole coming back to life thing you just said...thats exactly what my digitizer just did, so the left side of my lcd is now working including the home button!

Im guessing the touch panel ribbon was loose but it somehow shifted to functionality.

Great...now for the in ear speaker and power button, and 250 wont seem too bad!

Edit: anyone know how I can look for past signs for water damage like a colored change in a sticker or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooter1:
There are 2 water damaged indicator stickers, 1 under battery and, 1 under the back housing, you can see it through the opening where the top tab of the battery door latches.

Edit: Forgot.... 1 on the battery too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptesmoke:
250 is quite a bit for a device with issues, but good news is it isn't water damage by the sounds of it.

I'm an aviation electronic tech, and your symptoms definetly sound like a loose interface ribbon. If I were u id haul it apart and reseat the flex cable you guys are talking about. I would put a 85% chance that's the issue.

good luck, and welcome fellow canuck to xda and dz family
