Hi everyone,
I just ordered a new hero - should hopefully arrive by the end of the week. Is there anything anyone would suggest for the handset - its my first android phone after years of WM use. If the phone doesnt have the update to speed things up then thats the first thing Im going to try and do but am just wondering if there are any other purchases people might recommend, or specific apps that vastly improve functionality?
Thanks in advance for your help!
To be honest the best thing I've done is rooted the phone and upgraded to MoDaCo's custom ROM, that improved functionality 100%. I'd recommend a good file manager, something like Linda's too and Handcent or Chomp for SMS duties.
Hi All,
Hope this place is still as useful as ever
I'm expecting my new galaxy s phone which i got as an upgrade from vodafone uk. I want to use a three sim card in it so:
1. Would it come sim-locked? if so, is it easy to unlock? if so, where's the best place to buy unlocking codes or even better free unlock it?
2. If i want to use Skype on three (to make free calls) through the iSkoot app. Where can I get a working version of this? What settings do i need to play with? and do you think it will work? Heard that it might still use the included minutes. I want it to be totally free as i will use it extensively.
3. What's the latest best rom to install? Bear in a mind that i'm totally new to Android (Been a windows mobile person for so long) so might need some beginner's guide
Thanks everyone.
Q1: I have seen an unlock app ... would need to try find where, might have been on the marketplace ... you may need to enable root access first though.
Q2: Can't help if you specifically want iskoot ... but there is a Galaxy S Skype available from 3 themselves as they do the handset on contract.
Q3: No idea . Kinda new here too having just moved from WinMo about 1.5 weeks ago!
Hey guys I know there are different posts for different phones regarding this but I just thought I'd post one here so I could get a clear answer.
I have a Mac Book Pro and I want to root my Atrix 4g. I'm pretty new to Android so I'm not really good with any of the programs I have to use to root my phone. I know that there are plenty of programs that I can use on a PC, but I was wondering if there was one I can use for my Mac. If there is can someone give me a quick walkthrough of it and help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
I think that the best option is to use Gingerbreak by installing it using adb and then root it.
BTW, later today i'm receiving my Atrix, so I can tell you how it works.

Hi! I know the answer is out there in pieces, but after spending hours trying to piece it together, I'm still at a loss. This noob really appreciates any help you can provide.
I am trying desperately to find a way to export the text messages/SMS from my device to a text file on my computer.
Here are my details:
I have a Verizon HTC Trophy (HTC mwp6985).
The OS version is 7.10.8773.98 and the bootloader version is 3.2.230513.2.
The phone is not unlocked in any way. (I'm a dummy but willing to try anything.)
I only need to export the text messages. I won't need to import/restore anything.
I care about nothing else on or about the device. Everything else can be wiped, I'm willing to take the phone apart, I'm willing to screw up the phone in any way to accomplish this. (I've already moved on to a new phone and will probably donate this one.)
I don't need the pictures, just the text.
I realize that the desire to export SMS seems silly to some people, but I have my reasons.
Here is what I've gleaned (not all of which I comprehend):
An SMSBackup homebrew app exists that would allow me to upload my text messages to SkyDrive, but my phone must be interop-unlocked. The only way to interop-unlock my device is with a custom ROM.
The only way to install a custom ROM is by downgrading the OS to 1.x spl and installing RSPL / HSPL.
The only way to downgrade the OS to 1.x spl is to use the GoldCard method which requires me to purchase an SD card/reader, a USB y-cable, and a USB gender changer.
Before I go out, buy these things, and spend more hours trying to crack this nut, could somebody let me know if I'm on the right track, if this is possible, and are there additional caveats or exceptions that would make this unworkable for me? Thank you!!
Looks like I'm not the only one stumped by this!
Ok, well, thanks anyway!
I think you need to be fully unlocked for this. but,I could be wrong. There is the SMSbackup app you can sideload (look in the WP7 dev/hacking area) If you run this one of the options is to export to your skydrive. Then just download the file to your PC. That is what I did....
I really think you need Root access on your phone to do this....but, if you find the thread with SMSbackup, you should be able to find what you need to run it.
If you are not even unlocked, you might be out of luck, you need to be able to at least sideload it, never mind the other permissions you need for it.
Now, the next question is how to I get a full unlock, easy, Root your phone this way..

and install a rom but, the catch is, if you flash a rom, you use your SMS messages, so what is the point ? Can't help you with that one...but, you can have Windows Phone 7.8 now if you want...worth it ?
You dont need to buy anything to flash a rom, you just need to unlock, install a old rom (to download your firmware) then update to the custom rom of your choice but, it does not help as you will lose your SMS.
The ONLY way to get a Unlock on your phone WITH OUT losing you SMS is the legal way, A Microsoft Dev account, $99, and even then you might not be able to get to interop to do what you want...You need to reseach that a little...
Good luck and dont forget to hit thanks if this helped a little...
Thank you! That helps me completely, as that was one of my nagging suspicions (that I'd lose the SMSs in the process). Looks like I'll be transcribing by hand. In any case, your advice is much appreciated.

No problem and thanks ! If your staying with your phone, I might say to go with the rooted route, so if you need to export them later, you can do it. There is a lot of nice perks to having a rooted phone and you can get 7.8 now, not wait till next year. There is a lot of fun and cool little tools out there to have fun with your phone, even a cool tool marketplace (free tools from XDA on a marketplace), even Wi-Fi tethering with out having to pay VZW extra for it.
If you end up rooting your phone with a new rom, the import of SMS does not work too well,at least for me. It does import but for me, it added extra threads so for each user. I had 2 SMS threads as using the imported one didn't work for me, I could read them but, if I replied to a imported one, it would create a new thread for it. Also, it does not backup picture messages, so you want to save your pictures one by one to keep them.
Good luck.
BTW...if your a sudent (edu email address), there might be a way to unlock your phone for free (free Dev account, dreamspark) with a little work. That does not solve the interop unlock but, it could get you almost there. Otherwise, it's a $99/yr account.
