SNAP Network Differences? Any?

Hey guys... Are there any significant differences between the different GSM versions of the SNAP? I know USA uses 1900MHz 3G but UK uses 2100MHz. Do all the versions have the capability to use ANY band?
I don't want to be stuck with a 2100MHz phone in USA. Are S521 and S522 virtually the same?
Anyone know?

A far as I know, I've never seen a phone that can support both. You need to wait for the US version to use the US 3g.

Yea, i ended up getting my Dash 3G this past weekend. I got it 2 days after the ROM date on it. Haha! Now to start cooking...

Two questions about the new Dash:
1. Is the battery removable? I have the extended battery on my Dash but it looks like the back is one piece on the Snap, so I doubt you can use it, but I'd still like to get a larger battery for a Snap.
2. Can you use the T-Zones hack?
Thanks,
Marc

the back on the snap/dash3g is one whole piece, but the standard battery for it is 1500mAh and it surely is removable ... I know that with my original dash, the extended 1500mAh battery is huge and required a new cover.
I'm still slightly on the fence about the 3G mainly because I'm still adjusting to the offset keyboard vs. the straight line of the original, and the scroll ball is still throwing me off on internet use.
I hope that there is an option to resume Internet Explorer sessions if I exit out, because currently when I exit out of IE, and pull it up again, it starts a full new session which kind of sucks if I'm browsing and need to send a txt or make a note of something.
other than that, I really enjoy the phone thus far, though I've only had mine a few hours.

see i'm actually looking FORWARD to it and I really like the fact that t-mobile is the only carrier who's phone are offset like an actual keyboard(I currently own a g1 which has the offset keyboard). Everyone else's phones are straight line keyboards. That's not a deal breaker but coming from a G1(persona phone) to a Fuze(work phone) I can't really get used to it. I still get thrown off.

so i have the Ozone..which is verizon's version of it and to be honest the off set everyone describes isnt that bad. yea ill admit it, ive missed the space bar a couple times, but like everything else it just takes some getting used too. But heres a pic of what they all look liked lined up against one another :

I think they're different devices. The Dash3G and HTC branded SNAP are HTC MAPLE and The Sprint and Verizon versions are HTC WILLOW- CDMA only. Means hardware and ROMS will probably be different as well...

Wonder how he can live with himself, ripping off someone in the android community like that and still show his face around here!

cmon now, you were getting 2 new HD2s for $480...if its too good too be true, well ill let you finish the rest.

I also inquired about buying an hd2 from eosrider. We had a few pm's back and forth but I never bought from him. He asked 225 for one hd2.
In one PM eosrider writes:
"I am located in Santa Rosa, California. I purchased these phones from a wholesale distributer in California. These phones do not include the fancy box that you would get from T-mobile. What you get is the phone shipped to you in a standard shipping box. It includes the device minus the micro sd card, and USB charging cable.
At this point I am trying to start a cell phone sales company. I am going about it the cheapest way possible. I realize that people may have lots of questions with a sales situation like this. However, I will also say that the paypal that I use to accept payments for this 'business' is also the same that I use for a server rental company, ebay, Magic the Gathering Online, and other misc business. I have no intention of making a quick buck on vapor ware or anything less than legitimate."
He also included a phone number in one PM. I could give you the # via PM if it helps you contact him to resolve your issue.

Froyo now in beta testing

Just what the title says - a few days ago, Froyo was put into beta testing for the Epic 4G. The photo is cropped as to not get anyone into trouble. I just thought it might be nice to know that it's getting closer!
Since I'm new (not very many posts - I tend to just search & read), I can't post a full link, so you'll have to copy & paste. Sorry!

Looks pretty much identical to my epics "about phone" but it wouldn't be hard to falsify so I'll reserve my opinion till there's more to go on
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Not shocked. I've heard dates from anywhere from about 2 weeks to late december, so its likely testing is going on.

Tough crowd. How is it spam? I have an Epic, it has Froyo on it. I just don't want to get my Sprint contact in trouble. What do you want to know?

I wanna see you put it up for all of us to test instead of rubbing it in our faces, and say you are beta testing Froyo.

If you'll let me know how to, I will. Will a nandroid backup do, or do I need to do something else? Will a nandroid backup put any identifiable information out that might endanger my Sprint contact (ESN, phone number, etc)?

Hm, I spoke too soon. I should have figured that the update would have overridden the ClockworkMod, and I can't reinstall it because I don't have root access.

Oh Im pretty sure it would, just that HE wont post it.

So, for now I'll ignore the guy who's being an ass, and see what I can do. Is there a good app I can backup my current config so I can do a factory reset before I use Odin? I'm used to using nandroid and Titanium, but I'm hosed without root.

So yea, only 1 guy ANYWHERE has a beta of Froyo. Cmon, sounds like the boy who cried wolf. Besides, it wouldve been leaked already. Anyone remember the Moment leak? Hero leak? Evo leak? Prove it.

Idk how well it would work for you, but MyBackupPro is nice, for me at least. You can use it while not rooted, but some features are only available in root, like app market data. Its not free, but its pretty cheap, and you can refund it if you don't like it. Trying to help

LMFAO... youre in the wrong forum then friend.. thats 90% of the members here..

you guys.... who cares if he is real or not..... If he is great...if not.... bad...yet maybe funny later joke. but don't be a prick to the guy....

so when can we expect this "beta"?

odin would be your best bet to dump full nand, if im not mistaken you should be able to use rendbend_ua and flash clockwork back on it tho...

question to the hard bricked users

I'm wondering if you guys would ever buy a product from Motorola again? I will surely not. Also I now fully understand all the "haters" who said Motorola is crap, not only because their bootloader policy. It is just the truth, there are so much better phones out there. Maybe the brick was a sign.

One thread just to cry about you broke Your phone? LoL

So you broke your phone because you can't follow simple directions and now you want to blame motorola? Sounds about right.

I concur with EVERYONE in this thread.
YOU (OP) took the chance at modifying YOUR phone. Moto didnt make you do this. If you had left it to a factory state it WOULD STILL BE WORKING. There is a disclamer on every mod that is out. It's YOUR responsibility to accept terms and void a warranty should you so choose.
Obviously mod/hacking hard/software is not for you. If you CANNOT read a simple warning that is all over the Atrix Subforum, you shouldnt be attempting anything as complex as flashing a firmware to a hardware device. I have been mod'n Moto's since the early RAZR days and have NEVER had a brick, but that is neither here nor there. Moto makes good quality phones and locks them down so hardcore cause of jacka$$es like yourself. /end rant.
Protip: Pack your NEW phone up in the box it came in, take it back to your carrier, and request a feature phone. I'm sure mom and dad will be much happier since you arent costing them $ by bricking another device.
Leave the modding for experienced users who can follow directions...
sorry for being that dude, just sick of these people.

Oh. It seems you are a bit upset. Why you are so upset?
The funny thing with other phones is, even if you are a j4cka$$ like me ( or this noobish kennethpenn, omfgz look at this j4cka$$ n00b, he bricked his device! ) and brick your device you're still possible to unbrick it. Look at Samsung for example. Or other companies who don't give a **** about their SBK and just release it, so you're able to unbrick your phone.
And please, don't be so butthurt because i'm saying something bad about your lovely phone. I understand it hurt your feelings ( ) ... but it is just my opinion.
I'm sure i'm not the only one who think so. I guess all the other bricked people are already using other phones though. So they not reading this thread. Or they are just afraid of the Motorola-Fanboys. ( Attention: This could be a provocation. Don't get mad. Calm down. )

Have to admit, having owned two Samsung Android phones, they are very difficult to hard brick. I mean, you really gotta mess with bootloader, SBL (ABCs,123s, IDK. I forgot the acronym), to get hard bricked on those Samsungs.

[RANDOM] Verizon logo found in stock 4.2.2 rom

Does anyone else notice that HTC might be moving to one rom for all the carriers? I found ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint status bar logos in the stock 4.2.2 update. I think HTC is doing the right thing here. Put everything in one rom, then based on the CID, install certain things. I still think that att should leave the icons alone...but this is better than nothing.
I guess this also confirms the Verizon variant of the One. (I know verizon confirmed it this morning)
EDIT: BTWm this was from the stock 4.2.2 rom from Mike. Not the ARHD rom.

And the Verizon location icons in the status bar.

It is for the demoflo application. Those images are used for HTC One demo so it's not really a junk.
What I consider a junk ROM is nokia's symbian s60v3 ROMs. There are alot of junks in there like image of homer simpson, a corrupt image, bunch of hello world text files, an apple logo with a worm, quotations, a pdf for origami and other stuffs. This even got an article years ago in symbian-freak
