Hey all,
I have Sprint and the Motorola Q and I use it one-handed pretty often to make phone calls. I just take it out of my pocket, type in the letters corresponding to the person i want to call, and click call. I do this all with 1 hand. Is it possible to make phone calls this quickly to any of the 200+ people on my contact list? I'm worried that the slide out keyboard would be harder to handle with 1 hand and making a phone call would be more difficult. I figured you guys are the best people to ask about this since you all know about a ton of hacks that can get this done. oh yeah, just to clarify, I will not switch carriers. I want the Mogul because it has everything on it that I need, and 1 or 2 things I want. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
With the mogul you press the green call button.
This brings up a virtual numberpad - 1-9, with 3-4 letters per number like normal
If you have an entry in your phoenbook for "Home"
pressing the nubmers (just like t9) 4663 and that will dial "H-O-M-E", it will also bring up anyone who has taht as their number (ex. 555-4663, or 546-6355) etc.. or anything else with "HOME" in it (Homeboy 111, Chomez, etc...)
hope that helps.
awesome, so its almost exactly like my Moto Q!!! I can't wait for this phone.
You mean the dialing? Possibly
The phone? Muuuuch different. My brother has a Q, it works greate as a phone, but the Mogul is more of a mini-laptop. Phone is secondary.
think of it as a pocket pc- not a phone
Is what I tell everyone who is shocked at what I paid for my Mogul. Not a $300 phone- $250 off a pocket Pc running wm6
Coming from a Palm Treo it still irks me little that it primarily acts like a PPC and then as a phone (second). Still love it though...
I went from a 6600 to Q to Mogul. The Mogul is the best unit of the 3. I like to edit my Office docs, which Windows Smartphone does not allow. I couldn't wait to unload my Q, I only had it for 6 months.
It's like someone said, if you want primary phone with secondary computer-type ability, buy a smartphone, but if you want computer capability with phone as secondary function, buy a PPC.
Hi, guess what, two weeks ago I got a new phone, the famous HTC HD2 (leo). I was so proud, I had read so many good reviews about this phone, and I just loved it. Played with the phone night and day, but then it started. The second weekend I had it. I sent four texts (yeah, I have no friends) I was thinking they arrived but (hence I don't have any friends) I thought they didn't answer. But on friday (05.03.2010), my brother called me, asking me about the text, I did not understand, but it seems like it waited 1 week to send a text message. Then my friend rang, about the same (but with the text i wrote to him of course), I did not know what to do! Also my brother called me like 1 week ago, i slided the most awesome button to the left, to answer the call, and guess what? The cell froze, guess what it did yesterday too? Yeah, it froze again.
Does every hd2 live its own life? Would it help to hard reset it? (even though I can't seem to find the "erase all" key)
I have other problems with the phone aswell, but can't seem to remember what they were.. hmm...
If some one does not understand what I'm trying to say: My cellphone freezes when answering a call, also won't send texts when I tell it to.
Can anyone help a friend out? I don't know where else to turn than a forum.
Is this the best phone or what!
What ROM do you have on the phone now?
Nothing that you have described seems unresolvable in the least bit. You are in the right place to make your HD2 live up to its reputation, and it certainly is not hard to do.
IF you can provide any details about your current ROM, etc. that would be a good place to start helping you.

upgrade to the latest 1.66 rom
Hm, first of all, how do I check what rom I have. Second how do I upgrade it?
1. Settings (on slide bar)>About Phone>Software information
2. Either from HTC direct or from your vendor
Thanks, "please contact your supplier first before upgrading." Aint got time for that.. Hope this will help
So you're not going to check? Are you in the UK?
Seriously, chances are you're on an old ROM and changing to a newer one will work wonders
yeah, i have the old one, anyway, yeah i had the old one... 1,48.. well its 23:59.. cant call them, + do you have any idea how expensive that is!? and yeah prolly just the copilot nav that gets screwed, and i want that to get away from my menu (start menu)

You don't need to waste a cent, or a second of time calling anyone. The won't help you. They'll tell you to reformat your phone, and the problems you described will return.
You came to the right place for help with these issues. Technical support is typically worthless, as usual. Just take some time to read the info provided here, and in just a short time, you'll be happy with your investment.
First I want to say this site has a lot of talent on it and you guys should really be proud of what you accomplish and the benefits others get from them.
I started with a Sprint Galaxy Tab purchased day one from a local best buy. I recently bricked it by not following the directions to a T. All devices from Samsung, well at least my vibrant and this Tab have a factory warranty of a year from Samsung. I have used it for two vib replacements and then this Tablet which I replaced today. Basically below is the information I received from SPRINT moments ago over the phone to activate my device. My situation is unique because I have active service, but not on this tab so upon turning it on the activation process was different then initially on day 1 and I also rooted it with Super One Click prior to trying to activate it. The Sprint CS had me do this and what it caused was the device to initiate the entire data network configuration process all over but in a different fashion. MAYBE this is all already known or maybe this can give insight, see below::
Opened into the Memo app from the home screen or your app drawer
In the Search memos bar type Sym##488798# ----> brings you into a service menu and TerminalMode is stated in the toolbar and TouchHere at the bottom of the menu screen.

510684492? I think 3 but there is only 10 possibilities. I think 3 maybe 4, sorry guys I got distracted and don't want to mislead anyone but the first 9 are spot on.
Let me know if there is any worth in this and/or anymore info I can supply. Strangest part was that during a reboot the Sprint CS asked me "Do these things make phone calls?" I'm thinking your the Sprint CS and you know that it doesn't or isn't suppose to. Why ask me now.... What info may you just have given me. Have Fun!!
a lot of reps are retarded and just follow a guide on how to do stuff, I work for AT&T I can't tell you how many times people call in and say they been transfered around 10 times because no one can fix a simple problem like "device unlock" etc, but anyway I have a Sprint Tab and I typed that in my memo search nothing change... maybe I'm doing something wrong? I was just curious to look around! lol
I'm not sure what this is supposed to accomplish, but I'm dying to play with the guts of my tab, and since there are no ROMS out there, thought I'd give it a shot... Nothin' doin'. I'd love to know more!
Got a Sprint SPH-P100.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All sprint device's that connect to the network and have any sort of plan have a phone number, including aircards and the tab, now just because it has a number does not mean it is provisioned on the network to make calls, but if someone could maybe add a phone apk to their rom to test it, you may be able to make calls, but there also may news to be some kernel adjustments or other changes for it to work but you could always try.
Sent from my CM7 EVO.
The Sph-p100 (sprint tab) will not make calls (CDMA calls. Voip is fine) on the sprint network as it is filtered by imei.
If you change the imei to, say, one for a SGS, it works fine.
Also it would need a different type of service plan than just data.
What!!! I can change the imei to a evo and get 69.99 unlimited everything??? Its retarded to limit these just because its a tab

There's an activation for the Verizon Tab that causes the tablet to make a voice call for whatever reason. During that time I can hear the call progress via the speakers and a green phone indicator lights up in the status bar. Given that, I figure it's entirely possible for the Verizon Tab to make voice calls. Is there no such process for the Sprint Tab?

There is no such process for Sprint. But those switching Sprint or Verizon tabs to metroPCS have no problem making calls.
How hard is it to switch to metroPCs and what's their network speeds like
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Call and ask. Metro is very local so it depends. Check craigslist or howardsforums.
You got a contract?
Metro is not the cheapest way.
Just for future reference changing your ESN, IMEI and what have you is illegal and highly frowned upon by XDA, and is best not discussed as quite a few threads have been closed because of it.
Now on a lighter note, yes the Verizon Tab does make an initial call to activate itself but that is just their way of OTA programming the device, where as Sprint does the same thing, just without an actual voice call it uses a more discrete and software based method.
So in conclusion I can't definitively rule out being able to make calls with then over CDMA but I do know that both carriers have a lot of authentications that the device makes to do anything that will most likely reject your attempt based on your ESN and the whitelist/blacklist your ESN is tied to.

The ## number you pressed is your msl it is unique for every device on the network. It worked for you and will not work for others for this reason. You can however call sprint and ask them for this number, I myself have called and asked for mine for almost all of my devices. It all depends on how and who you ask. However please note that in here you have total control over the settings and can really do some damage if you don't know what you are doing so be careful.

It is not Illegal. IF XDA is frowning on it no one has ever mentioned it to me. Furthermore I apologize in advance.
As I posted in another thread, it is not illegal.
1) Legally named 'PCS' (Remember SprintPCS and MetroPCS) commonly called CDMA devices have NEVER been regulated as to changing ESN's. Only GSM (SIM) devices have. And ESN modification of such devices was repealed in 2003.
Relevant sections are Title 47 CFR 22.919. This WAS the section that held the language about ESN Changing. It has been repealed. (page 6 (p.77180) left column bottom.) Note that it is in Part 22. Part 22 only regulates GSM devices. But PCS devices are Title 47 CFR 24
Readers may Go HERE and select Title 47. Then the two sections as they wish.
I went to best buy and bought a brand new evo. (2.3.3 ) I have had to take it back 3 times due to it restarting on me. Now the one i have you have to mash down the power button to get it to lock or unlock. Its not a simple press. It does work, however. Would anyone just take it back and get a 5th one or just deal with it. the people at best buy are starting to get annoyed with me. any thoughts?
The customer is always right take it back until you are satisfied who cares if they are becoming annoyed with you

One other thing here. I didnt want to clutter up the threads. I tried putting google voice on my evo. when i made calls or had incoming txt messages it would go to my voice instead of my real number. Has anyone had this happen?
In the settings of the Google Voice app there should be a way to disable that.
Agreed, they need to make it right.
I have my corporate email account added on my phone which REQUIRES the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen to be activated.
On LG G2 the default lock screen has a button "Emergency call - Press and hold". A call to 911 is dialed immediately when you accidentally press it for 2 seconds.
My 2-year-old boy has accidentally dialed 911 four times and each time 911 called me back and they'll send someone to check out next time.
To use my corporate email account I can't disable the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen. Is there a way to remove that stupid button, or change the "911" to be a invalid number?
You can buy a fake phone for your 2-year-old kid
He got 2 "nice" VTech phones already. I didn't give my phone to him by intention.
The problem is that sometimes I placed my phone on the table - maybe just 2 minutes, and he sometimes got the chance to grab the phone and the first thing he did is to "press and hold" that stupid button.
If the phone is not locked, it is harder for him to dial 911 - but I can't disable the lock screen due to corporate's policy.

Alright, to other outsiders looking in and still wondering which phone to choose, here is a perfect example of how beautiful this G2 is, it's up to the point that even a 2 years old kid would know/realize the beauty of this phone is and choose it.
Anyway, to OP, keep out of reach of children. You can do better than that, m8.

Hey, I am looking for a technical solution here.
I know I have to keep my LG G2 out of reach of children, I've got the lesson, but unlike a gun in the previous post, we are using the phone very frequently and there are chances that you inadvertently leave the phone somewhere that is reachable by a baby.
a. We know you are looking for a technical solution but it has to be reasonable. That feature built for emergency purpose as when you are in the panic mode, you can't remember that pwd for that moment, you need to access the phone and call for help. It's there for a reason.
b. Instead of looking for a "technical solution" that virtually nowhere to be found, why don't you invest into other solutions
+ In 365 days in a year, how many times you let your kid gets to the phone? Seriously, nobody mock you but we do expect parent can do more than that. If you can't do with 2 years old kid, how would you deal with 6 years old one and later? Change your style, seriously.
+ If you really really don't care changing your style and still want it, I think you can root your phone and install the modded version of Email which does bypass the restriction. I did it when still own the SGS2-i777, I don't know there is such a modded. like that for G2.
Anyway, solutions are surely out there but the quickest solution is your control.
It's from the bottom of my heart, no mocking here.
Install maildroid app. **** the police.

There is no other phone like G2 that make the dialing of 911 so easy - you may call out to 911 easily when the phone is in your pocket, or even in your own hand - many G2 users without kids are already complaining about it - the solution is to disable the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen, which for me is enforced by the security policy.
I understand a button on the lock screen for real emergency, but it's really too easy compared to iPhones or any other Android phones - they just open a dial pad for you.

I do not plan to give my phone to my kid.
Zoodles doesn't help because what I want to avoid is that when my baby accidentally reaches my phone while it is in locked mode, he can't place a 911 call easily. Even 2-step dialing is complex enough for him.
LG G2 is the only phone that "support" the 1-touch-to-911 feature.

I got a real chuckle out of this thread. Thanks guys.
As a parent of four, all of which have graduated High School and two from college so far, I gotta say that your solution is in parenting. Teach the crumb snatcher to keep his hands off of things that don't belong to him and be smart enough to place objects higher than two feet up. It's really not as hard as you seem to think it is.
Or maybe just quit your job, get rid of the corporate email, and watch your kid 24\7.

My D800 actually has one long touch (press and hold) then another short touch to 911 (other is 112)
So it's like 2-touch feature.

It's a button on the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen, under the password pad.
You touch it for 1-2 second and you are already connected with 911.
I would try this and if it asks to confirm for 911/Emergency Dial then you can get Pro to also add a password to dial. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.callconfirm.free
You could just make that one number password protected/confirmed if you want. Or whitelist certain numbers.
