I am very new to this high tech stuff, I have a usa t-mobile mda vaio, which i paid to unlock. I know, i could have done it for free, but i could not figure it out. In doing some reading i think i want to unlock my cid, and i want to turn my omapclock speed up to 240. And what about updating my Rom. And how do i back up my file, if necessary. And please easy directions if possible. My phone is off, because of a $4000 dollar internet bill, because they would not give me the code, when i went overseas and used the internet for 7 days. What a surprise. But my wifi still works. Help please.
Rom version: 1.8.10.2 wwe
Rom date: 12/10/05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocal vers: 4.0.13.20
ExtRom vers: 1.8.10.104
I dont have a clue as to what this means, but it looks old, compared to everyone else.
wow
wow, what a great forum. I have a million responses. I want to say thank you for all who helped.
this has all has been covered elsewhere, ad nauseum, over and over and over again right here on this very site. Spending a little time looking for things like "omapclock" and then reading them will answer all your questions and then some. For the-universe-revolves-around-me service, they take paypal.
MDA Vaio? So you're saying that Sony and HTC teamed up to build a laptop/Pocket PC hybrid? I'd like to know where I can get my hands on one of these.

People won't help you because its already been said. Your just a waste of bandwidth. You sound like a little kid, i want this, i want that.
You want to OC' 240, then keep reading that thread noob.
AND THE SARCASM WAS NECCESARY, maybe that's why no body is helping. No one is your slave to check every minute and answer your post. :evil:
people here seem to think that lazy people should die, when in all reality theyre just as lazy.
to cid unlock it you need ot get lokiwiz software. if youve already upgraded to 2.26, its too late to cid unlock it. to overclock, get omapclock.exe. i use that program in conjunction with smartskeys personally, because the smartskeys.ini file has customizable overclock settings.
thats a start partner, but youll hafta do the legwork yourself cuz im lazy too haha
Thank you. For the response. The only other thing that i have done is down load skype which i think is great. I can admit i am not a computer geek, but I am great in my field. Mortgage financing. So yes i am clueless, and could maybe use a little extra help. And if there is someone out there who could use some mortgage help. I am here. I just dont want to fry my mda.

Doesn't matter if you're clueless. As long as you can use the search functions, and bother to take some time to read thru the endless amount of information in these forums. Then you too can be as logical as I have become in the past few months when I originally didn't know a damn thing.
Thanks again. This is the program i used to unlock the phone. http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php. Did this also unlock the cid? And if yes, how can i tell? And what about backing up the program. So based on the spec's i have listed on my phone, what should i up grade, beside's the omapclock i think to 240.
Well you ddint' need to waste your money. You can unlock your phone for free if you would have bothered to search and read through the results.
Search -> CID Unlock -> Choose wizard forum to search through
Search -> Backup -> Choose wizard forum to search through
You either seem to be lacking common sense or need your hand held through every step.
lol.

Have you not read all this, he is clueless! Sorry i am in the look and you will findout. I come on here everyday and I find something new. But i started from not knowing a thing!! but now I can show my friends these cool things. IT's not hard to look and learn.
Just Maybe.................
Just a quick suggestion to any moderators or site managers
These "Why dont you use the search function" threads come up time and time again.
The problem for noobs doing a search is the (sometimes) many many pages of post to wade through.
Even if you happen to chance on the exact answer, how do you know you have found it when one thread may contain 3,4 or 5 examples of how to solve a problem??? I give an example, Tomtom 6, or any gps related problem.
I spent a total of 4hrs 10mins on MSN with one user who was having problems with his GPS and TT. I didn't mind in the least, but after lots of hair tearing, we found the problem was his GPS wasnt in a place to recieve a decent GPS signal, i.e. a window cill. :shock:
Joking aside, is there any way of having either locked stickies or a seperate forum for each device to have HOW TO's??
There are many people on here that could easily write a guide, post it and then have it locked so the thread doesn't spiral out of control.
Maybe some of them would be happy to recieve PM's if there was a legitimate problem with either that guide or for the varying device configurations?
And before I get flamed, Its just a suggestion. :wink:
Jerry I agree 100%. This is the one of the forums I have found that does NOT have stickies for often asked about topics.
I also feel that this site needs a kick in the ass with a little patience.
You can tell none of these people work in customer service. THink of it this way...if you are spending 4 or more hours on here a day you are passionate about this topic and you would think you want others to become passionate too which will advance the demand for more of these type of sites and products. You really think giving these noobs as you call them a hard time when they first try and learn about this stuff will help anyone? Except save you precious time to search something else or maybe give you a chance to bust another noobs dreams of learning something about his/her new gadget.
This is the only reason I do not visit this site. Not that I need it but none the less. A real bunch of asses here if you ask me.....
Guys and Girls
The use search is a true pain in the ass if you dont understand what you are doing. It has its own laws and also words that it will never find. I have been here for a year and I still cant work it out. But I agree its a start. Nothing will change untill we move to new software for the fixxing is just to costly.
Sure the same post and answer comes up on this forum, over and over agian. There are still people that spend the time to point people in the right direction.
Stickys, well we have them and still they are not read, more we have more time it takes to move down the list for some meat.
Solution. WIKI, edit the pages and the information and point people to it.
And please, lets see if we can use some nice language, I am all for free speach but we all diserve a bit of respect.

Hi everyone, first time poster here so be gentle
Ive had my O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond) for 8 days now and i still cant get my head around the massive amount of features it has. I feel like an absolute no0b, which is not surprising as its my first Windows Mobile
Ive scoured the Diamond Forums here and elsewhere but i still cant seem to get a grasp on the most basic of things, so i was wondering if there is a REALLY simple "How-to" guide on basic things like - how to change themes etc. I keep reading all kinds of confusing stuff about different software needed, expiring your warranty, bricking your phone, having to mess around with ROM's and hard/soft resets
I realise that there has probably been a thousand of these topics made but i simply cant take any more information on board without it pushing all the old stuff out
I'd really appreciate someone pointing me in the right directing or giving me a basic idea of what to do, lol!
Btw my ROM Version is 1.93.206.3 WWE if that helps
Many many thanks
im looking to add some nice apps and possibly a theme and ive read somethings on installing cabs or exe's but im still having some small problems with them....was wondering if any experienced hd2 users would mind speakign with me possibly over msn so they come give me a few tips and reccomendations.....thanks in advance and great forum
anyone please help me im out im actually willing to pay someone for some help here......ill give 10$ paypal if someone will take their time out to help me
best way to start is by reading and playing. lost of people come here every day and say 'where do i start' without reading first. No one is being rude if you dont get an answer, but theyd be answering the same question every day.
Heres a good place to start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Play with your device, and once you have a feel for it, you can ask more specific questions.
i have read many diff articles but to be honest ive never done much with editing of phones and dont want to do something to mess it up...im jus looking for someone to speak to for a bit and jus ask a few questions and some feedback on some apps and such....again anyone whos willing to help me i will give a donation to
Hehe, None of the tweaks and tips will damage your device, the worst that can happen is you have to hard reset (factory default).
(well, unless you start flashing roms, but you shouldnt go anywhere near that until you are confortable with the device.)
I'll cross my fingers for you that someone has time to chat direct to you.
Hi,
I am newbie on HTC HD2. It seems really good phone. I am happy to have it but I want to add some interesting apps on it to make it mine. I am not talking about wallpapers or screens. I mean other usefull apps . When I search apps section I can not see much. I belive it is new phone so not have much apps. When I read boards peoples says if I make my phone ANDROID ( I do not even know what it means) i will be able to have lots more apps. I am not good on systems so I scare I broke my phone and will not be able to fix it. For windows it is easy . I can go on market and pick what I like and phone automatic install it or I can get cab file from here and instal it. Please tell me if can run android and windows together? Or I better stay away from it? I read on board android is not developed yet and even good htc users having problems. Maybe someone assist me about it?
Regards
Okan
Dude I understand your problem, but seriously there is nothin like rocket science over here..!!!
Unless you develop that is..!!!
Anyways I suggest you search the thread properly you'll find what you need..!!!
I also presume this thread will be closed soon..!!!

I understand you love your phone! We all do! But this forum was made for Android Development only! And yes you can run Android on your phone and take advantage of all the apps the android market offers!

Ok...take a deep breath and think zen. ;-)
First of all, this is not a question you should bother developers with. They are, suprise suprise, busy developing.
Considering your experience with the hd2, my personal advice is to keep WinMo and search the forums for your cabs. You can customize about everything on your WinMo. You just need to invest some time and energy in it.
If you are stubborn like me...read further:
Yes it's possible to run Android and WinMo on your hd2. If you're new to linux/android/hd2 it'll cost you more time and energy to understand it all.
Very Important:
To install Android besides WinMo, please make sure you have read and understood this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
Also, make sure you read and understand this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734335
Please make sure you know what you're doing before you start using Android. It's not that you'll brick your phone, but you'll risk being flamed for asking questions which already have been asked 100 times before.
Good luck and be careful!
Ok I will read more. thanks.

Hi all sorry if this question has been repeated (my search patience is next to none) -
I want to invest on an extended.battery to cope with my excessive phone usage, um fairly new to androiding my phone and have done it successfully, but want to know if the extended.battery would work after downgrading to a .50 radio as HTC say that a Rom upgrade.may be required and dont want to invent on something that may not work.
Any help would be much apreciated

This is the reason why you don't get any answers. If you would know how to use this function right you would have spend less time than writing this thread.

First of all, search the forum.
As I'm in a good mood today:
1. flash a nice WinMo ROM, which is made suitable for android
2. flash the 2.12 or 2.14 radio
3. copy android to SD
4. enjoy awesomeness!
to completely answer your question, you just need to use a suitable radio and use this kernel:

If you would have searched the forum, you would have read this and I wouldn't be typing this. The world is so big and so small at the same time...
@ dusdus
Yes, your mood must be very good today, cause mine isn't.
Yeah well, I'm usually a very patient guy and can still remember being a noob in all this.
The only difference is that I didn't dare to post a thread like this, so I started figuring it out myself.
Some people...just..don't. Or something. I guess a lot of times it's the young kids who are too impatient and/or too stupid
maby its good to change the header because i good thread.
builds compatible for extended batteries
Do we know any other builds with SENSE or any other way to make it??
First of all thanks for the help I now know where to go and secondly I dont appreciate the immature comments received from someone stating the younger generation for being "too impatient and/or too stupid " as I'm 25 myself and live a busy lifestyle both at work and at home and regularly use car related forums as I enjoy that community with friendlier forumees and not surprised by the comments from people that do this 24l7 which clearly shows they have no association from the outside world.
You may class me as a noob but I feel that I have done really well with my phone considering my lack of experience and little spare time that I have to work on my hd2
Once again thank you
