Rookie Questions - HD2 General

can any micro sd card of any size work with the HD2? Also my youtube icon is missing, how do I get it to show up on my phone?
bahardman

At the moment cards upto and including 16gb are fine to use,hopefully in the near future 32gb cards will be available at a reasonable price and with the support to use them.
Not too sure why you can't find the youtube app as you dont say where you got the phone from but I do recall hearing that in some case's the app had actually been removed but I'm not sure which provider did that.

I believe its t-mobile uk that has removed the youtube app in their branded hd2's.l

Thanks guys for the response, my HD2 is a T-Mobile UK phone, so I guess they removed it. Thanks once again, you guys are the best.

Hey im not 100% sure but I believe there may be a cab file for you to give you the youtupe app on your t-mobile HD2, it maybe worth a quick search on the forums.
Edit- link for cab file http://rapidshare.com/files/309160325/YouTube_Player_-_WVGA_-_800x480.cab

Micro SD card size

I am totally out of room on my 2gb. Is there anyone who could recommend a 4gb that will work with the 8525 please.
as far as i know (i'm interested in a 4gb also) the only one available (and its actually not available its only listed on the site as pre-order) is from www.jrs. or something, the link is on here but you'll have to search for it sorry
the sandisk microSDHC 4GB model is supported in the new Windows Mobile 6 ROMS from HTC for the Hermes...
There's lots of people that have 4gb micros. Look in the accessories threads to find out!
If you have a verizon store near you, you can probably pick one up Monday morning.
Oh, by the way, in case you haven't read (which I'm sure you haven't), you need one of the newer builds of WM6.
Edit: Sorry, walshieau, didn't mean to repeat you!

Copy protected apps missing from the Market on Orange UK Hero?

Anybody else noticed this? I have an unmodified Hero I got straight from Orange and the Market seems to be missing a lot of paid applications, the ones that use copy protection.

Can you give specific examples? Thus far, I've had no issues with paid apps with my Hero - had several on my G1 that I had to download again to my new phone.

Searching the Market for the apps mentioned on the earlier link, I can confirm that I can see some, but not all of them, an a T-Mobile G2.
I also noticed that I hadn't downloaded "DocumentsToGo" back onto my G1 (thought I had!) and when I tried it, I got the "Download Unsuccessful" message.
Regards,
Dave
I'm also missing apps on my T-Mobile G2. Can anyone else out there see the "Jack FM Live" app?
Nope I can't see that app.
The app I am missing is Battle for Mars. I have done the rounds ringing Orange and HTC to try and sort this out. Orange were fairly useless but finally just referred me over to HTC. HTC tried to claim there were different apps for different phones, but the example I gave them was Battle for Mars Lite was available, the paid for version was not available. They are meant to be ringing me back in 3-5 working days !?!! I will try and keep this thread posted. If anyone else has some news or can hassle Orange/HTC as well, I think that can only be a good thing and might push someone into sorting this mess out.
I can't find taskiller full - the free version is there but I want the one which has the full exclusion list. I've been in touch with the developer and he can see it in the market in France, although he thought that it may be due to waiting for google to review his account.
Guess it may actually be a similar problem to this. It's really frustrating because I would love to pay for the full version!
I've just got an unlocked hero that im using on o2. I can see the apps that others cannot, so maybe it's a network problem or related to the 'tinkering' networks like to do to phones before sending them.

That is really annoying - I can only see the free version using wireless or mobile data (standard T-Mobile G2 Touch, no root, not unlocked etc.). I'll let the developer know, it's really unfair that people who want to buy his app can't.
I can now see Taskiller full and Bluex which i havn't been able to see since i bought my hero, i have the Orange version of the phone.
checked earlier in the day and couldn't see taskiller full. I can now... I assume some back-end setting's been changed (whether it was a taskiller-full-specific thing the author did, or something google did centrally, I don't know)
Still can't see it on T-Mobile!

Same problems here, its really annoying. I really want the Bloo facebook app. The new 1.3 version is meant to be good .
Also on the topic of not being able to get stuff on this "open source OS".. WHERE is amazon mp3 uk . Can't take much for amazon/google to just shift the same program to access the uk mp3 store lol.
can confirm bloo 1.3a showing up for me(orange)
the guy who did http://www.cyrket.com/ mentioned apps appeared and disappeared due to sdk version checking. while i assume that isn't the issue here, maybe it's the same kind of thing? the hero's listed capabilities and the app's metadata are incompatible?
(tho why that would change just because it's sold by orange instead of t-mobile I don't know)

HTC Incredible Wiki

HTC Incredible Wiki
feel free to update
I thought it was 32Gig micro SD card capable?
Yes, thanks I fixed it. also added the specs from the HTC page
Added Updates to wiki
Cool idea hope more people add to it over the time :0
6/2/2010 - Updated
Mods/Admins - Can we sticky this thread please
Added/edited a couple tidbits of info
Added information on swapping out PRL's to straight Verizon towers (for legacy alltel users, which happens to add "Verizon Wireless" to the pull down and lock screens) as well as information on swapping out PRL's to a hybrid Alltel first then Verizon towers. The hybrid is useful for people that live in the older Alltel areas that don't have great Verizon towers.
adb
What about adding an adb section to the wiki?
thank you so much for this! Free tethering ftw!
just to make sure, it is confirmed 32 GB on the SD card, because all of verizon says only 16?

32GB cards are usable, however the current firmware only recognizes the first 16GB. This should be fixed in the future, but if you want to load up your MicroSD card with 16GB+ of music, picture, videos, etc, you might not be able to do so as of now.
added getting better battery life via hidden menu. (may not not work for some)
thanks, was able to quickly find the battery life trick for my wife
The Wiki says...
Expansion Slot:
* microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)
* Up to 32 GB card support. No pre-installed card.

That's not true anymore. All the new Incredible's in the green boxes come with a 2gb card pre-installed. The older ones should have come with a 2GB card in separate retail packaging, but they are pre-installed now. So they always came with a 2gb card.
Just a minor update to the wiki

SOLD!... Selling eLocity A7

4/7/11 UPDATE:
SOLD!
4/4/2011 UPDATE:
Well, eLocity informed me that they where having supply issues with getting displays. So they decided to send me a new unit from their stock as I have already been waiting over a month and a half. It shipped out Friday and should arrive soon.
I was thinking of keeping it but decided I'd be better off selling it and getting some cash. so if anyone that has already expressed interest still want it let me know.
A7 with original accessories (charger, headphones w/ mic) $210 shipped.
Thanks.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, out of a job and need cash more than toys.
Have to sell my A7. It is currently running Dexters v1.3 ROM and come with a case (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895353).
I have a second A7 that is currently at eLocity to have the screen at sat on replaced. They say it should be four weeks. I may sell that one too once I get it back.
Anyone interested PM me.
Dude, that sucks.
Good luck in the hunt.

If there is no interest I may list it on ebay tomorrow. I really rather not deal with ebay and some technically challanged buyer who won't know how to make the A7 work.
Wish you'd have posted this earlier. Just dropped the coin on a new one after finally making my decision. It will be here tomorrow. GLWS

I don't think there is a problem with the Dexter ROM. Dexter's ROM is the Official eLocity ROM with Market and Google Apps added. As far as I'm aware the issues are inherent to the official ROM.
The only issue I've seen in my use are:
1. with the current ROM, in setting it does not show the the MicroSD card as there. The card is there and can be used though. Pictures show up in the gallery and the MicroSD card can be navigated with a file explorer app (i use Astro).
2. Not 100% sure but think apps can't be run from the MicroSD card. Someone said they moved app to the SD card recently, but I haven't tried.
any specific problem your referring to?
The issue with not reading the sd card, not being able to access to usb thumbdrives and numerous apps which will not install and run properly. I am a newb, BTW.

Like I pointed out above, when you go into the setting menu it doesn't show the SDcard as mounted in the latest firmware. But it is there and accessible. I put movies, pictures and music in mine and all are accessible.
I have no issues using USB drives. That's how I move the Update.zip file onto my internal SD card. I download it to my USB drive via my PC. Plug it into my A& then copy the Update.zip file to my internal storage from the USB drive using Astro file manager.
Yes, there are apps that won't work. AS there are app that won't work on my g tablet either. Not sure if it has to do with the apps not yet supporting the Tegra 2 processor or tablets or what. For example Google earth won't run on either my A7 or the viewsonic g tablet.
I guess it all depends on what the user wants the device to do. For me e-mail, Internet, Skype and google calendar are the main use. Don't really use my device for games (occasional Angry Birds or paper toss).
Now $195 shipped (USA only)
Interested and in the US. PM sent.
All PMs replied to.
Sale Pending.
Hello, please let me know if your pending sale works out. If not I am interested.
Thanks
