Not sure if it's already unlocked, but you'll have to have it unlocked first. If it's already working different prepaid SIMs though, you should be all good.

Well I'm using a pre-paid SIM from another carrier (in another country!) and it works perfectly well.

Well, I'm using the Captivate in another country on a local carrier. Lol. It will work. But not too sure if the Captivate supports t mobile's 3g band.

[HD2 General] fredygamer:
First of all, I have a screen lcd that is not broken. The screen, however, is not responding to my fingers/touch. I think it's the digitizer. The hardware buttons work fine though.

What do I do to fix this?

Do you think the digitizer connecter is loose or has dirt or even broken?

I have a T-Mobile US HD2 and I think I'm still under warranty but not sure.

Fix Attempts:

I have checked Clockwork Recover and selected advanced>key test

and I get key codes when I press the hardware buttons, but no code when

I touch the screen.

I have tried wiping the data/factory reset & wiping the cache partition

& wiping the Dalvik cache, but same problem.

I have tried flashing different android roms, but same problem.

I have magldr 1.13 and clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.

Android Nand NexusHD2 by tytung.

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 General] killer-0091:
for some reason no one ever replies to these posts the touch on my screen dont work at all i had to buy a new lcd and digitizer put it in and it dont respond to any touch tried reinstalling roms nuthing aparently it was tested b4 it was sent and it worked soo i wonder if it is posible that there is something in the phone that can stop it or if it is just the digitizer but yea any way iv read that the digitizers in them start to get none responsive over time normaly as the warrenty runs out lol
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Seeing as you have the T-Mobile model of the HD2 you could buy you a small hex head screw driver and open up your phone to check the LCD/ digitizer ( Ithink they both have the sameribbon for the connection to the mainboard)ribbon connector as they just plug in on the T-Mobile HD2. This is a desision that is totally up to you though if you want to try this. But if you do still have a warranty I highly suggest you send it in to be repaired or replaced..
[HD2 General] SlyRder83:
I double tao my end key and press again to wake phone from sleep and problem dissappears for a while not permenantly. Hope this helps
[HD2 General] iiodii:
its something with the end key. mine is too not responding.
[HD2 General] afropolak:
I've had all that problems

For few month my digitizer was not responding from time to time, but after few "power on" / "power off" it was ok.

After some time it stops working / responding permanently

I try everything !

I didn't had warranty any more so I give my hd2 to non-authorized service and they change only digitizer for 220 PLN ( Poland ) what is about 50 E

Now it's working great again.

If You want to change digitizer by yourself - don't try it - its very tricky and You are risking lcd damage. lcd with digitizer can be bought for 90 E - most safe solution for DIY way.

Regards,

Afro.
[HD2 General] Kobe_19:
People keep saying that the hang up key is the problem, to me is bs!!! (sorry im about to throw my hd2 real far from here) I dont know what is but it ain't the damn key, ive tried a lot of stuff without luck. Im about to buy the LCD/DIGI stuff, but stop with the hang up key stuff its wrong!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The reason why the end key thing works for some people is that the end key is pretty much like right on top of where the connection on the main board for the ribbon that goes to the digitizer and the LCD. So pressing it sometimes causes the degitizer to work again for a little while.
[HD2 General] kuzaima:
hey it worked for me! after reading a lot of threads, i bumped to this and tried it. But I guess this is just a temporary fix until I get hold of HTC to replace my digitizer or fix the lose connection inside. well I still have my DHD as a primary device. anyway thanks a bunch! :D
[HD2 General] cobrien13:
what i do and works allllll the time is if it turn the phone on and theres no response i double click it fast to turnn n turn on again and like nothing it works
[HD2 General] drakepayton:
Same here

I recently replaced mine because of the unresponsive screen. The problem was very specific though. If i tried to use the red (end-call) key or the back (left facing arrow) key to wake up the phone the screen turned on but i couldnt unlock it. But if i used either of the other three keys to wake it up it was fine. Also if i used the back key at any time during use the touch screen became unresponsive and i had to lock the phone and unlock it again (using one of the left 3 keys) for it to register touch. I dont know if its because, apparently, those two keys are over the digitizer connection or if its just because those keys were more worn out than the others. It seems the former is more likely. Just some specific info about my experience, hope this helps someone.

Also if you have the "screenoff" app and "button savior" app you can get away with using it like this for a while.:)
[HD2 General] shardul_seth:
Exactly same problem.. Now it seems a lot of HD2's have this problem.
[HD2 General] t00tall:
It's obvious now that the repetitive pressing of the buttons is causing digit. to fail... But I don't see why, when I took mine out... everything was fine (no physical damage), I had my friend look it over with a magnifier - he didn't see any cracks on the cables, everything was soldered in place... o.O

btw... does anybody knows what is the purpose of that metal mesh thingy that is glued on the back of the LCD over the flex cable?
[Xoom General] green94:
Can anyone specify the differences between the two apps? After first getting my Xoom I was noticing that I was getting multiple alerts for the same emails... after doing some digging i realized that both the Stock Mail app and Gmail were notifying me in separate instances (assuming Gmail app was pushing to the Xoom and the Stock Mail app was fetching every 15 minutes - hence 2 notifications).

I noticed that the Gmail app also allows search, so both search and push are included in the Gmail app. Are there any other true differences between the two?
[Xoom General] lanternca:
Labels, folders, archives and starring all work in the gmail app. I don't use priority inbox, but I believe that works too.

But...why would you set up the stock email app for your gmail?
[Xoom General] green94:
I must have done it during the initial set up - I guess my question would be, why wouldn't you set up your Gmail through the Stock Mail App?
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
The Stock Mail App only has generic features that would work on most email platforms that you bring to it. If you have a GMail account you would want to use the GMail app because you can take advantage of the Gmail features, Search, Labels, Priority Box, and I'm pretty certain the Push is only for Gmail App which means your Stock Mail app periodically checks to a designated time but the GMail App gets mail pushed to it as it is received.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
I import all of my other email accounts into gmail and give each a label which the Xoom handles beautifully. I'm not sure I knew there was a stock email app..lol
[Xoom General] onicrom:
The other big difference is that the stock client does not allow you to chose the from address, it wont event reply from the address that was sent to

I use multiple mail address aliases and need to be able to reply from all of them but can't.
[Xoom General] green94:
Perfect... I thought it would make more sense to use the stock app, but it appears I'm mistaken! Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hightechlive:
what is the best dialer with big numbers,is there a dialer like the nexus s dailer?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] eatmydave:
I use dialer one. It is free from the market. It has smart dialing- like the HTC dialer. Doesn't look like Nexus dialer though.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hightechlive:
Thanks a lot I like it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] andrevora:
My favorite one is atakephone. What I like is that I can the skin on it also you can schedule a call right from the contact or call log to call the person back later. It also shows up on your calender in gmail. Hope that helps.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
another good one is "go contacts" (it includes the dialer)...i really like it, and it is themed like miui

its free and the info can be found here

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Dialer One, FTW.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mrmako777:
i just bought this yesterday since golauncher doesnt seem to play nice with the stock dialer. so far its a pretty good app. https://market.android.com/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.pro
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] freesnoopy:
try touchpal dialer 3.0. i like it very much
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jigajay:
Is there a dialer that shows the facebook contacts pictures i'm using cm7 rc2 and i really miss seeing all my facebook contacts pics.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Get Photo Unlocker from the Market. I've got FB pics in my Dialer One.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jigajay:
Thanks alot photo unlocker does not work with the stock cm7 dialer. I noticed it only seemed to unlock 1 photo does dialer one use more battery than the standard one
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I've never had any issues with Dialer One, and I've used it since my Hero.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tmagritte:
This should work using the stock dialer in cm7 if you've installed the facebook app and set it to sync contacts. However, I think you have to set each contact manually. Find the contact, long press until the menu comes up and select edit (choose the contacts app if it gives you any options). You should then see the various merged contacts (eg. Google contacts and Facebook). Scroll down to the facebook section and tap on the facebook profile pic. A menu should come up with one option, "use this picture" (or something to that effect). Tap on it and save your changes. Voila...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jigajay:
For some reason I still can't see my facebook contacts with the stock dialer or dialer one when I used photo unlocker it unlocked about 3 contacts. Before I downloaded cm7 I had all my contacts linked with my facebook so now when I go into a contacts under notes it says <htc><facebook>id and a lot of numbers. When I go to edit contact it does not give me an option to link it facebook at all.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] eyecubed:
I really like AContact...

But make sure you go with the little green dude with glasses. There's another one that isn't by "movesti" that is not great.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Daguse:
just want to say thanks for this post.... I hate the stock CM dailer.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
Basically I had 100% at 9am

at 1130 am I had 28% and this is without doing hardly anything.

I then put data packet mode off and airplane mode on -- and it lasted 2 hours without draining.

Therefore I know all the drain is due to some background apps.

Is there any tips, tricks, etc. to stop this drain ? like stop synching etc.

This battery drain is brutal!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Find the culprit ?

Install some app monitoring app like system panel and check?

You already know its something that needs internet. So check all your apps when they are syncing and how often. Check in some task manager of running app/services , cpu usage/network use, everything what should be dormant and its active. (or just check in the apps you ran if there isnt a circle running thats suggesting that app is doing something :) )

Oh one thing is not using skype :P and install adfree :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I haven't found it yet - what apps would you specifically advise to use ? I have hotmail, google, and facebook on "sync" mode -- maybe I'll take that off and see if it works.

Other than that, I don't have hardly anything running that I can see -- WIFI and GPS is always off. I use a task killer on "INSANE" that closes apps constantly and everytime the screen goes off so I'm not sure what could be running.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
It can be:

- a weak network (2G/3G) constatly switching.

- Gallery bug

- File system errors

take a look on what "suck" your CPU time.

Install Better terminal:

#top (enter)

And watch & report.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
Hello all,

I've been putting together my own little boot animation from a favorite xkcd.com comic of mine, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I've followed all the correct steps (as far as I can tell) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708316, obviously changing the resolution in desc.txt to 480 800 to fit my G2, but all I keep getting is a blank screen that lasts a really long time during bootup. Any ideas?

Please feel free to use my boot animation if we get it working - it's pretty cool! A scrolling picture of the universe.

It is a scrolling image of this from top to bottom.

Anybody? I'm getting shoved to the bottom of the forum here haha. Sorry for the double post.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leehopley:
hey matey, i dont know much about this but ive just flicked through it quickly.

have you made sure your rooted.

have you made sure you pushed the following using the terminal on your android phone.

./adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

./adb push Android_Audio.mp3 /data/local/

have you made sure you pushed the following using the adb command line on your computer.

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

adb push Android_Audio.mp3 /data/local/

have you done any of these in the common issues?

Common Issues:

If you compress the archive, your Slide will not be able to access the appropriate files and you will get a blank screen at boot. The second most common error that will also result in a blank screen at boot is zipping a folder containing your desc.txt and part0 folder. These two must be immediately within the bootanimation.zip. When using Keka, remember to exclude Mac resource forks under advanced preferences

this probably wont help but i just thought id let you double check :) hope you get it working. maybe try posting a question on that thread

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
Thanks for all the advice mate!

I actually got it working with a better resolution and more images, so it's a bit smoother - I've attached the file if you want to check it out.

I was messing around with this a lot last night, and I actually ran into a boot loop that ran from my splash screen to around 3/4 of the animation. I didn't even know that was possible - having a boot loop that wasn't just looping on the splash screen. Luckily I had a backup of the day before, so it wasn't a big deal... I just didn't know that messing with the desc.txt file could cause that issue.

The boot loop occurred when I had it set to repeat the part1 folder because I have some blank screen at the end of the animation.

Here's the file (it's a bit large so I put it in my Public folder on dropbox): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3222175/bootanimation.zip

Also, on my G2, the boot animation works either in /system/media or in /data/local!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dcam1075:
It is a little tricky but with the phone powered off push and hold the volume up and volume down button at the same time while you push and hold the power button. Keep holding the whole volume button in until it gets into recovery. You will see the splash screen then recovery should come up.
