Htc
T-Mobile is calling it “the fastest smartphone experience in America,” but as it turns out, its Qualcomm Scorpion CPU is actually relatively slow — the cellular carrier’s insider newsletter T-Mobile Scoop says the phone’s MSM7×30 chip will be clocked at 800MHz, rather than the 1GHz we’d hoped for. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that T-Mobile lying about speed, as anyone who’s upgraded from Droid to Droid 2 very well knows — bloatware can easily clog the pipes even on phones running Froyo , and we’ve heard that this particular HTC device is running a pure vanilla Android build . Speaking of delectable operating system revisions, T-Mobile confirms you’ll indeed find Android 2.2 under the hood accompanied by Flash Player 10.1, as well as “one-touch quick keys” the carrier claims provide Speedy Gonzales-like access to apps and shortcuts. Still waiting to be confirmed: a $200 subsidized price , and the day we’ll see it in stores.

Is it possible to unlock my HTC Pure for use with an O2(UK) Simcard? I am going overseas and have a pay as you go O2 British simcard and would like to use it in my HTC while in the UK.
Okay I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer to my two questions. A HARD reset is NOT an option since I need to get some info off the phone that is NOT on the SIM or the Micro SD card. I have a ATT HTC Tilt that I haven’t used for over a year. After several futile attempts of what I though was the correct numeric password it is now locking me out for a period of time. Currently the lockout time is over two hours. The lockout time seems to double every few attempts also. I’ve now made a list of about 20 possible codes it could be and am systematically going through them. Thing is though, that he countdown lockout time stops counting down every time the screen goes black or times out. I’ve tried a soft reset and this doesn’t help with the timer issue. Is there any way to solve the lockout timer issue problem? Also and probably most important. The password screen clearly shows that I am the owner of the phone because it has my name. Can the techs at the ATT service center somehow over ride the password and save me a lot of time and trouble? Thanks, Tom

That kind of blows your opinion that “Carriers and manufacturers just want to scare you into thinking you will brick your phone just so you don’t mess with their bloatware and proprietary ROM” As posted by ATT on the forum – do so if you wish, neither ATT nor the manufacturer will assist if something goes south for the winter. Yeah, really. I hack my phones constantly, loading custom ROMs, you name it. No problems at all. You obviously are too scared to ever do anything with your phone, so you can’t say anything about it if you haven’t tried it. Yes, there is a tiny risk. But just like when a drug manufacturer has to tell you there are risks of side effects. Are you going to be scared from taking any meds if the chance having a bad side effect is one in thousands or millions? If that were the case, you would never take any meds ever in your whole life. Sometimes the benefits greatly outweigh the risk. For that matter, your risk of dying in a car accident are pretty significant. Yet I’m sure you insist on getting behind the wheel every day. Another thing you have to remember, is yes you will see people posting on other forums about bricking their phones. But the thing to keep in mind is that people usually only post when they have problems. People tend not to post something when they do it right and everything goes well. So it makes issues seem far more common then they really are. If you could really see the proportion of people who hack their phones successfully, you would see the risk of bricking your phone is much less than 1%. And like I said before, people tend to say they bricked their phone, when they haven’t. You see posts like this occassionally on XDA. Some guys starts a thread “I think I bricked my phone”, and somebody else responds “no you didn’t, do this”. Then the OP writes back “Oh thanks, that worked”. Its not a brick if you can fix it that easily. A friend just commented the other day “I almost bricked my iPhone”. Umm, no you didn’t. Either you bricked it or you didn’t. You can’t “almost brick” a phone. I don’t expect or need ATT or HTC to help me with my phone if I do brick it. If I brick it, I’ll probably buy another one. Its the risk I’m willing to take. Not everybody is going to take that risk, and I understand that. Even if you do brick your phone, ATT may replace it. If they can’t power it on, they won’t know you bricked it, and just assume it a hardware problem. I’ve seen people post to this effect either here or on XDA (sent a bricked phone in for warranty and had it replaced). I’m not counting on it. But it happens. What ever floats your boat – the caution is put there becasue there IS a chance of bricking a phone when you hack it, the legitimate sites that publish the instructions put the warning there to eliminate the liability and the chance of a user permently damaging their phone and persuing legal action via a crass action suit or the such, the script kiddie sites rarely have this since they are anonomous and do not require proof. Just because you feel invincible, does not justify telling other people that there is no chance of inadverently damaging their property unless you are willing to be held responsible for the damage. Not everyone has the spare cash to dump on buying a new phone at full retail if they try something and break it. As far as “to scared” don;t make assumptions, it just proves nothing, because 99 percent of the time you are wrong. I and my employees use the company supplied phones for business, any employee that attempt to hack a corporate supplied cell phone and is discovered on a random audit of the phone is fired on the spot, no appeal. They since a document stating that, and have fired a few people for compromising the phone. You unvalidated assumption in that series of statements point right at the age bracket you are in.
For the past 2 weeks (everything was working fine before that) the TouchFlo 3D on my Pure seems unable to update the Facebook status of my contacts. I’ve added a few new contacts who are also FB friends, but when I tap “Link Profiles – Associate with Facebook” the TouchFlo 3D glitches and resets itself. So none of my new contacts can be linked with FB. The same glitch, resetting of the TouchFlo 3D, happens when I view my contact list and tap the little icon of the man with the clock (Updates and Events). I think this is the reason that for the past 2 weeks none of my contact pictures have changed as friends updated their FB profile pics. I have not installed any new software on the phone in the past several weeks, nor made any changes that I see could be causing this issue. The FB application on the phone works fine and is the current version from Marketplace. I’ve also made sure that no other apps are running (closed them via Task Manager) but this does not help. Soft resetting the phone doesn’t fix it either. I also checked my own Facebook account and in the Application Settings there’s an entry for “HTC Sense” and also one for “Windows Phone”. Both of these entries have been given all the available permissions to post, access data, etc. Can anyone help figure this out? It’s irritating when the TF3D just crashes and resets every time I try to link a contact with FB, or even when I just want to view the updates for my contacts.

Redpoint, please give a Tilt newby a little hand; do you know where we can find the flash code to put Sense 2.5 on the Tilt 2 ? This subject came out after this thread, but should we just trun ” RUU_Rhodium_S2_Cingular_US_2.10.502.4_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.95_Signed_Ship.exe “, to get Sense and the updated ROM code flashed to the phone ? Really on the edge of my element here. Thanks in advance.
sweet, it looks like i can still post here. pardon me if i ramble a bit, but i think i may have something worth saying i have been a user of att or cingular since 2002 or so and i just recently left to go to sprint, i dint think they’d let me post but they did and so here i am. shortly after i posted this i went to sams club for some tables and left with htc evo 4g. 
its a really really nice phone. so nice that i had to have it, even though i loved my tilt 2 and only had it about 8 months or so and was still in a contract with att i feel i should make some small comparisons about the evo vs the tilt2. there are alot of things i could voer but i’m only going to high light a few that come to mind at this moment. first of all the tilt 2 slide out keyboard spoiled me, virtual keyboards on capicitive screens are nice but not as nice as a the tilt2 slider, not too mention the tilting screen. i found i would tilt the screen and set it in my lap, arm of the couch or my desk. the evo has a off center kickstand but it needs to rest on a flat surface to mantain balance going through apps and menues and settings and pretty much everything on evo is very fast and smooth….pardon my english, iphone fast and smooth getting gps fix is almost instant everytime for me there are two built in gps apps,the google app is the best i have ever seen on a phone, better than my tomtom, but im sure it relies on data connection the phone works, everytime i try to do somthing it repondsand does what it should, no soft resets now!! this evo can probably never need a reset, compared to wm needing reset as often as a few times a day…you know its true…:) giant screen on the evo. ok screen on tilt2 market place is looking good and super easy to use, lots of good free apps android does not support hid blutooth keyboard- this is a huge setback for me…tilt2 did this fantasticaly built in head phone jack- i really dont care, but hey its there 2 cameras- one on front and one on back, not that i’ll use the front, btw the back camera is awesome, 8mp and 720p vids..i dont need to drag my dedicated camera around with me anymore. battery life on evo- not so good, it uses the exact same bettery as tilt 2 along with a few others..makes extra batteries cheap. not only does this thing drain the battery rapidly but i beleive there is a chrargin issue that sprint nor htc want to talk about..google this if ya like. but all in all the battery is still prettgood. will last all day with light use. im not a light user so i ordered extra batteries. no mini usb ports, so i cant use any of my five tilt 2 chargers hdmi output on evo…not sure why though no glitches out of the box, tilt 2 had many tweeks you had to do to get somethings to work right right out the box, like texting or something like that. good price on evo, 200 with 2 year contract sprint is cheaper, and i get a student discount, seems like alot cheaper and more options, earlier nights and weekends, all mobile to mobile are free, texting inlcuded in data plan.i have cheaper billl and alot more talk time. i was even getting a little too good of a deal on 3 data plans with att, aka smartphones using non smart plans..sprint was even cheaper doing it the wrong way with att sprints techs and customer service seem to suck and the reps are in the philiipines and they are hard to understand. i definetly preferred the att call center even if it is in gangstersville atl data- i get 3g here out in the middle of no where with sprint, and i always get 1.3mb/700kb, with att i didnt get att 3g here where i live and work, unlike with sprint. on att 3g i never got more than 400kb/200mb on wifi i get 7mb/3mb on evo, on tilt2 and all my other wm devices i never got over 400mb down??? there are alot less tweaks to do on android, sure you can root, but i havent yet seen the point, but im sure i will eventualy. in wm there was a tweak for everything and this was nice, there is very little tweaking on unrooted adnroid, or so it seems. i dont have as many choices or options as i did with wm. maybe that was part of the porblem with wm from a coding standpoint. in wm there were 5 different options and those options had options to do any one task…in android usualy you dont even know whats going on or how it work, but it works. in android, even just downloading a file through the broswer can be awkward cuase it just downloads and it doesnt tell you where the file is. also it seems like android just dumps stuff all over your micro sd card. its as if we really arent supposed to go browing our files or worring about this sort of things, lol. infact you have to down load a third party app to even see the sd card, and its interface looks crappy. speaker phone ont tilt2 is better, imo so i rambled on for a bit here but i thought i would share my experiences. i really thought everything about android and or my new evo would be better then wm and or my tilt2 2 but that just isnt the case. i will be selling my tilt 2 on ebay, even though i realy dont want to, i told myself if i got the evo i would offset the cost by selling my tilt2. 
i didnt come here to sway anyone or to taunt, but more to say a few words about my comparison of the tilt2 and the evo and to say thanks to the folks around here that helped me and i will miss my htc wm smart phone days i have had here. maybe i’ll see some of ya over at xda

So you’ve a shiny new Sprint EVO 4G — upgraded with the Froyo 2.2 update , of course — and it keeps rattling around your car as you drive. What are you to do? Well, If you’ve been waiting for the official car dock — aptly named the Car Upgrade Kit for EVO 4G — from Sprint, fear not, for it has now landed. For a hefty $59.99 you get the dock that’ll attach to your vehicle’s window with suction or with the included adhesive pad, to your dash. Of course, nothing’s perfect and judging from some posts we’ve seen, the dock does have its failings: the camera is covered by the plastic, the SD card isn’t mountable while in the dock so listening to your stored tunes won’t happen — if you want to plug it into your head unit, for example — and maybe the biggest foible, no charging cable is included. Of course with the plethora of car docks available on eBay you may want to shop around a bit, and heck, for that $59 you may well be able to pick up one for yourself and everybody else on your street.
