Hello everyone,
yes i am a new user and subscriber. i purchased the wing about a month ago and so far i like it, but there are some things that i need to address. first, there is a memory problem that from what i have read, is common. i have a 2Gig microSD and most of my videos are on there. i am using TCMP to play movies. i was wondering what to use to get the best speed and usability out of my wing. what is safe to delete to make this thing race. again, i am just getting into the terminology (kitchens, cookbooks etc.), so please bear with me. a quicky, how do i get to the registry? and does the iphone theme really work good for this phone?
thanks everyone for any help

I suggest a custom rom. The T-mobile stock rom is not very good. I'm currently using Open Touch 4.0 by TTRAN and im loving it!
I'm a new Wing user also. I've had mine for a few days and i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to the rom's and making your phone look completely different. I read a little, but to someone who doesn't know all that lingo.. it's like a foreign language somewhat.. lol. Not that bad, but you know what I mean. I'm sure i'll figure it out eventually, but as of now? I'm clueless. I was told I need to HARD SPL my phone or something and I have no idea what that means or how to do it, lol. I downloaded a few things and got them to work though. But like I said, that's it.
Follow instructions. I understand people don't want to potentially "break" their phone ... but this stuff is TOO easy. Don't be scared of it.

Yeah. Well I was gonna ask you for some help (you seem to like helping people and you seem to know what you're talking about), but I can imagine how many people do that. I know how it is to be asked how to do stuff when it's very easy to begin with. I've been an admin on online games and stuff, so that part I understand. There just seems to be so many things you can do to this phone and to most people, they probably have no idea where to begin.
I was able to download a few cab's and get them to work, which was cool. I have my Wing overclocked right now at 247 I believe. Then I have a few other nice things. I use the Palringo for AIM and that's nice. I can't wait to change the overall look though. I'm not just confused on how to do it in general, but i'm also wondering whether or not you're supposed to use certain .cab's with certain rom's and all that. Ya know?

Find out which rom your interested in using and you will usually find a faq and instructions on how to flash the rom on the first post. I use Open Touch and followed the instructions to the T on my first flash and had no problems. Like Duprade said it really isnt that hard. Dont let the big bold red messages scare you. The cooks are just covering their behinds just in case you miss an instruction and brick your phone.
islinx, whats overclock? you are in the same boat as i am (glad to have you). i have also installed some roms, but i am ready for the big facelift now. i will do some searching and try to find a cool & simple look. i ran across a "show your today screen" post, but i lost it. they had some really really nice ones. i'll check back later. thanks for all the posts.

Check the thread with all the .cab files and you'll find the download to overclock your phone.

Look up battery status to find what your looking for.
I will be home from my trip to MIAMI tomorrow ... so who ever needs help or questions answered, just catch me online and IM me and i'll give you a hand.
Doesn't matter anymore, lol. I deleted everything off the phone, put the plastic back on and i'm sending it back today. As much as I LOVED the phone, i'm not gonna keep it and feel like I got ripped off. I used a promotional code when I got the phone. That was the reason I was getting the phone at this point in time to begin with. If I wanted to pay the normal $300 for the phone + activation, I would of went to the store and got it THAT day. But I called over the phone with a promotional code to get the Wing for $100 after $50 rebate, free activation and a free bluetooth headset or car charger. The customer service rep. told me the promotional code was taken and I was all set. I'd get my phone within 4 days. I did get it 4 days later and yesterday I called them back just to make sure the promotional code took effect and I was getting some money back.
Long story short, I must of got transferred like 7 times on the phone and I was on it for about an hour. Nobody knew what to say and I had to explain my situation each time. The customer service lady basically lied to me because the promotional code all of a sudden isn't a working one. I've seen other people online use the same code and it worked for them. Recently too. Big surprise there. If I wasn't saving money for a new car in April, I would have kept the phone. But a couple hundred dollars makes a huge difference.
Thanks for your help anyway though.
So, I have a friend in electronics, wont go into specifics, and he gave me a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) and I want to unlock it. Problem is, I dont know how. I only know how to unlock the Elfin.
I know the geeks here at XDA are working hard on a Hard-SPL, and I want to help by putting my phone on the line to test it out, and hope it works.
Who would I contact, and what needs to be done?

Kay so i have a problem with my Nexus 6P
Let me tell you the story
Since the update from 6.0.1
I had battery problems like the most of the people..
So i decided to make a backup on my google account and reset it. I was dumb, and lazy and i just entered some random things in registering email etc like [email protected]om
Then it wasnt fixed. But i wanted to go back to my old account, so i resetted it again.
This time he askes me this: his device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
I dont know the account anymore, so i'm probably ****ed. I tried my setup account i've used when i configured it. I did make a call to google, but due connection problems i couldnt understand what he was saying lol..
He sayed that this can be fixed in 72h ( dafuq so long without my phone i'll die )But there is also a chance it wouldnt. So he said if that doesnt solve it i need to go back to the shop where i buyed it. I have proof of purchase etc. I just dont want to leave my phone for 4weeks alone lol.. Im pretty addicted to this..
I'll just use my OnePlus One tho..
Anyone that had this in the past? I need some serious help.. I've ****ed it up probably..

I am not sure if I am understanding what happened exactly....
Why exactly did you set your phone up with a google account that you don't know the password to? Why would the account you are logged into the phone with change any issues with the phone?
I apologize in advance, but, I am always a little weary of someone just asking for help unlocking a phone.
I would be willing to help, but I need a little more insight and exact details on how you got into this predicament.
Again, no offense meant, this just looks funny to me.

Your post makes no sense. There are no battery problems with this phone, and there is no way to sign into a Google account unless you have the password for it. Do not tinker with your phone unless you know what you're doing.

who registers a bogus account to their phone?
I know XDA'ers do a lot of dumb things sometimes, but even this makes absolutely no sense. I smell dried cod.
Hey guys, I'm (somewhat) new!
I'm going to buy a Nexus 9P used today from a guy I don't know. The phone is supposedly in as new condition and the first thing I plan to do with it is a reset, then logging using my regular account.
Will I risk ending up in the same situation as the OP? What is the security process for Android account? Why would it lock me out if the phone has not been flagged as stolen? I've never bought an Android phone used before, especially with Marshmallow encrypting the FS I'm starting to worry!
Thanks to whoever can tell me if I risk running into problems and how to avoid them!
have him turn it on in front of you and make sure the phone boots up into android
play with it a bit.. look for cracks, etc. if youre forking over that kind of cash, you do a fairly thorough inspection.
Yeah thanks, I'll inspect it closely. Thing is, I'll not be able to put in my SIM immediately, (upgrading from a One M7, I have a micro SIM when the 6P requires a nano) so I'll be without Internet connection when I make the purchase decision. Is there a risk from the software security point of view?

shouldnt be... just ask him to leave his SIM in until you test the phone.
If he starts acting squeemish, or makes excuses for simple requests, I wouldnt touch the phone
Thanks everyone for the replies tho.
I dont understand why i did it.. But i needed to go, and i wanted to use my phone. So i maked a fast new account. Is there any chance that it will be unlocked tomorrow (72H will ben passed on friday) I dont know im truly new with this kind of security.
I had expierence with rooting, unlocking bootloader. But i dont want to risk this on my 6P since i can say byebye to warranty then. And this still is under warranty (i think so). I just dont want to wait 4weeks since it needs to be sended to Huawei and not to Google. It will take ages till i have my phone back.. Atleast if i'm lucky i can use my phone tomorrow. Anyone knows if i can use it tomorrow again?
This was a stupid move. ideed.. I'm feeling me bad due this lol
Everything seems to be working fine. I had the guy use his data connection to check out of his Google account and let me check in with mine. After that I did a factory reset and now I'm updating and installing apps.
Thanks for the help and sorry I have derailed the thread. I'm the (so far) happy owner of a Nexus 6P. Heading to the rooting guides next

ok, I tried. If you don't know your google password and can't recover it using "forgot my password" then its not your phone, if you were actually experienced in rooting and flashing then you would have solved this problem already. Sorry but a moderator needs to shut this thread down please.
If some how I have mistaken this I am sorry but you contradict yourself and make claims that are obviously not true based on the sentences that follow the statements your making. If it really is your phone then take your proof of purchase and walk in to any cellphone repair store.

No worries, this thread needed derailed! I recommend Heisenberg's guide (found on xda) and the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) by WugFresh (I believe also has a thread in development now) for the driver check process, it will make sure you have no conflicting drivers installed. Have fun!

Wtf is this for a forum even.. You can think it can be stolen, but i can get every proof on the table its mine. It looks not very truthfull. But all i ask is for a little bit of help. I've worked hard for this phone, since i do only a vacation job. You can think what you want, if you believe me or not. But i need help. And yeah, i know that it will probably fixed with flashing a new rom because this isnt caused by a hardware unit. I just dont wanna risk my warranty and not this time, becaus if i **** it up i can say byebye to this great phone.
Anyways thanks you'd tried to help.. But it makes no sense that you think this is stolen. As i said, i'll do that. But i dont want to lose my phone 4 weeks. Maybe in your country you have some nerd asses that fixes phones. But me and my friends have bad experience with them. They ****ed up some of my friends phones, and just said it wasnt her fault. Closed, they couldnt do anything with their phones. I tought you guys could tell me more about that 3-day limit. But you actually dont know what you are saying. You are just joking yourself this one is stolen. And so what? If its stolen would that forces you to not help people? I can show you everything this one is not stolen.
Anyways somebody that can help me, and answer my question?

Again, password recovery through google. How many times should I type it? There is also a username recovery option. You seriously gonna sit here and tell me that you can't answer any of the details about your account via any of the recovery options!?!?
No, I am not sorry. Why would you care about your warranty if you can't survive 72 hours without your phone!?!?
Nothing your saying makes sense at all. I am done responding to you, think what you want but after 10.5 in the private sector as a PMC (private military contractor), you are full of it.
I hope that no one on this forum helps this guy get into someone else's account, if they have android pay then this guy gets their credit card info, this could really screw someone over.
Google has in place proven and effective ways to get your username and password back if its really your account.

And again, if you cant read. I've filled in an random email and an password. What can i do if i even dont know the email? I didnt setup a alternative email adres. I screwed it up. But that doesnt give you the right to say it is stolen. If i worked even harder for it then you will ever do in your life. Grow up kid, you're just here to make some fun, i'm looking for some guys that are here to help people. If you cant help people then just leave. You have like 6 posts and you're saying "mods here mods there" wtf men? I'm new here too. But i don't feel me like i'm the boss here.

First off nobody said its stolen secondly I have never seen google ask for the last account used when setting up a phone. It asks for the Google you intend to use for the phone. Honestly from what it sounds like since you didn't properly setup the google account you most likely will have to make a new one or call google and set on the phone with them until they can locate and figure the password but if you cannot provide sufficient information about the account they will not help you. Hopefully this will help and just so you know we cannot see or use any link you put up due to limitations per xda rules

I have, when I borked my friends phone I used Wugs toolkit to just reflash everything and then it asks what the ladt account was. Basically a security check from google for people who like to steal phones and just fastboot them. Makes complete sense and I love it. Makes for funny moments when people forget passwords.
But none of this adds up. HOW on gods green earth have you "unlocked phones" before but mysteriously don't have a previous google account. Hmm...
Nope, none of this adds up at all...this is all wrong.

Thanks for replying. And trying to help me. If the 3-day limit is passed and nothing happened, i'll just go back to the store. Will Huawei help me as long as i have a proof of purchase (wich i have)? I'll just go then by the store where i buyed it. I hope that will work. Thats my only hope.. Anyways happy new years eve for you guys Thanks for helping me, shows they are some guys with real hearts out of here lol.

Well yes, obviously. Because if it is/was stolen why would anyone want to help you use stolen property when next time it cound be their phone that is stolen?
Also, what do you expect the shop to do for you? I dont really see why you dont just set it up with a new google account rather than keep trying to get into one you obviously wont use.
