dear experts
i recieved a G2 HERO unit from a freind,
he was palying with it and then it write on LCD,PLz login with ur google account to unlock screen.
this unit he bought second hand ,he donno any account, also no internet connection,
so, if i make hardrest and formated it, i think it will ask for registration as old dreamG1 phones
anyway to bypass it without have internt or data plan,
i already searched a lot , but not find anything help
best regards
thx in adavnce
I could tell you how to get round the pattern lock that is asking you for the Google account information (I presume this is what the issue is - the pattern of dots you need to draw on the screen)
But... If I write the instructions on clearing the pattern lock here, someone else could come along here in future and read the instructions on removing the lock and use it on a stolen phone.
I notice you have been a user on XDA for a while, so I trust you, but I don't really think it is responsible to tell anyone how to get round the pattern lock (being as you can then access all the messages/contacts on the phone), due to potential for mis-use by someone else in future.
Hope you understand.
PS. What I will say is that I am not aware of any need to activate the phone (I've got a G2 and didn't need to activate it at all. It did ask me for a Google account, but that was optional and only for syncing calendar, contacts & mail etc.
if you can operate google you can find the necessary information to bypass the lockscreen anyway. a hardreset is suggested, you want a clean phone, not the one your precessor customized for his needs, do you? so just reset it, and the lock will be gone with the reset... there is no need to have a google account, but keep in mind that you won't be able to use the market (and other minor stuff) without a google account...
Yeah. That's what I alluded to, but forgot to write- just do a hard wipe to get rid of it.
@kendon for some reason, people don't seem to know the method. The number of times I've seen it asked on other forums is ridiculous, yet it is sooooo easy to find out. Hint: Google is your friend.
hello
thx for ur replay and trust
i really appriacte
i will call freind to bring, its my turn to play now
best regards
thx in advance

yeah well, that is not only the problem with a locked phone... just saying "how can i root my phone", "is apps2sd working" and so on...

Oh god... It's not this bad on modaco though . Damn. Now I've mentioned the forum, I bet you we start getting this kind of thing over there (it never seems to be so bad over there, being as most are there for MCR so are competent in rooting etc.)
I'm pulser on modaco btw, but some no-posts user has taken my name. Might do what you did and go for pulser_g2 or something like that and start again...
Just bought an hd2 running both the 6.5 windows, and froyo android 2.2 build, need a bit of help in figuring out this 1 problem which is;
When go to the Android Markey it is still on the sellers account, and I tried to remove his account, but It says since it would need his account for some apps to run id have to set my phone back to factory settings, thus erasing everything. Is there any way around this, if not, could I back up all my contacts to my gmail account (if so, how so) and also from that point, would I have to re hack my phone?
Thanks alot in advance , really grate ful for any help.
Sounds like you bought your phone off a bit of an idiot! There's NO way that I'd let someone else own my phone without clearing everything that is mine off it.
Anyway, have a read of this...

thanks alot man, and yes lol I wouldnt be as mean to call him that, he was quite nice and professional, I believe he just forgot as he wasnted to sell the phone asap..
Also, how do I back up my contacts to my gmail account? and link my contacts to their facebooks?
**** still not working! do i need to clear more apps?
I think you've probably already backed up your contacts. The problem is, you've probably backed them up to his google account!
I think google should be your first port of call here. Not being funny, but you clearly haven't searched this, as I found that link I gave you by searching for 'android change google account'.
I also found this one...
http://www.sizzledcore.com/2009/12/27/how-to-remove-change-google-account-from-android/
Do a bit of searching - the answer is out there!
The ironic thing is it probably takes more time and effort to create a forum account, and then post a 'help me!' thread which you then have to monitor and reply to, then it does to simply type your problem description into google.
Especially now google instant has been launched, you don't even have to press return.
Actually I tried all those methods and will now try to reboot te phone in recovery mode o guess then if that fails I may have to factory reset an re hack

So you have WM6.5 on NAND and Android running on the sdcard .... cant you just format the card and use another Android build or am I missing something obvious here ?
My Blockbuster app loads well, shows the movies I've rented, but returns the error code 0xc00d2713 in a white box when I try to download any of the rented movies. I have...
*Deactivated my TMOUS HD2, soft reset and reactivated it.
*Uninstalled the Blockbuster app, soft reset and reinstalled it.
*Reset my modem and router (just incase).
Can anyone figure this out? The only help T-Mobile had was trade for like new or new phone. I've taken loving care of my HD2 and I don't want someone else's problems.
Has anyone any idea what could cause this or am I once again doomed to the hard reset?
After looking, that error seems to be related to DRM.

I googled and found the same, however, I have no idea how to fix it. Do you?
I don't use the Blockbuster app at all (I don't think we have the same access in the UK), but are you supposed to be able to download a movie that you've rented?
Feel free to shoot me down and flame me if you are supposed to be able to

Sorry, don't play with fire . But, yes, once you rent the movie you are suppose to be able to download it and play it. Have any ideas how to fix it? The app works if I do a hard reset; however, once I restore with Sprite backup, it will not download. The tmobile My Account "will be downloading soon" forever, too; although, I've fixed that problem.

Bizarre.
If it works after a hard reset, but stops after a restore with Sprite Backup, then it sounds like another app is conflicting with it. I was all for going with the DRM theory before, as mentioned by rr5678, but I'm not so convinced now.
I don't know how you could figure out what's causing the problem other than to re-install the apps manually, 1-by-1, and check after each install if you can still download. Obviously once you can't then you've found the problem.
That's not really a helpful suggestion though, if you've got a shed-load of apps to go through.
It's a bit of a clutch at straws, but I think having a thread here is the best thing, and to hope that someone with the same experience and a solution turns up.
Sorry to be so vague, but that's all I've got!
Hope you get it sorted.
Thanks, I've got over 60 apps (down from 100)! Soooo please don't make me reinstall them! I set aside days for ROM upgrades. Strangely, this thread shows how I solved the Tmobile My Account problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880250 and the problems seem to be related.

That is a bit of a strange and convoluted fix! Such is the joy of xda devices, eh!
Hope you get this one sorted too.
Edit: Just out of curiosity, have you flashed a custom ROM since you got your phone, or is it still an official TMO one?
Okay. I too Googled, and all I could find were references to Windows running on PCs. With that in mind, I REALLY don't know if this is relevant, but I do know enough about the WinMo OS to suspect it may help. If you're happy with registry editing, have a look at post No.2 on this page...

I'm not convinced that you'll find that key in the registry for WM, but maybe you will. It's worth a look.

No, not yet. Though, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to resist. I keep telling myself, "warranty, warranty, warranty..."

I have no problem editing the registry (you were right that key doesn't exist in WM), as long as I'm told exactly what to do in exact detail.

I was 50/50 as to whether it would exist or not. Windows CE is VERY similar to the PC based Windows OS, so it was worth checking. As I know you've seen, there's nothing coming back from Google with regards to this error on WM.
I'm definitely done here now. As I said before, I hope you do get a solution though.
Good luck
Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

Great stuff is this!
I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.
can i have back friend stream in [17.Jul] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DHD_V19
how can install back?
thanks in advance
i think this is a desire hd rom which in that case you can go to personalize, widget, the top one should say "Browse all HTC widgets" scroll to 24/25 and select friend stream. im not on this rom but if its v19 then thats a desire hd rom so it should work.

friend stream widget appears but i cant config account
i cant sign in becouse there is no option in accounts and sync
i just have facebook,google,news,weather.
i missing friend stream for htc account.
i think you can sign into your htc account by going under setup or htc hub. if you want i can flash the rom real quick to see what your refering to? its rather hard to say what to do when im not seeing it infront of me.
maybe look in that thread to see if other people are having the same issue and if you dont find any info on it you could always ask your question within that thread.
are you refering to this ROM?
can you do that for me you're so kind
i have read threads
nobody wrote something like this
ok it will take me a few mins or so to do a backup & then flash. gives me an excuse to try a new ROM out anyway. i'll write back after i go through the ROM which should be about 10-15 mins or so.

i think so u own me a drink
ok just booted up. im going to set the phone up to see if i have the problems you were talking about. i'll report back..
ok..so i can't find it either. on my old ROM..RAFDROID HD when you set up your phone up it allowed you to set up your htc account and it didnt on this ROM. also i selected widgets then all browse all HTC widgets and there are a lot less widgets to choose from. in the ROM details for BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_Desire HD A2SD V19 it shows friend stream as an app in the ROM so i would post the question because they might haved removed it for some reason. i couldnt find any info about it either so im not sure what advice i can give.
i have the friend stream apk but im not sure it would work anyway and without being able to sign in its really pointless in trying that way. a friend stream widget did no show up for me anyway i tried about it.
im going to keep playing around with the rom to see if i can get it to work though. i'll pm you if i can find out the answer.

no problem. it got me to try a new ROM out anyway. maybe after some sleep i'll try to install the friendstream.apk to see if it works that way.
Did not read the whole thread...but it might be easy.
You may need to goto settings, accounts and sync, and then set up Facebook and Twitter for HTC...to sync.
thats what i thought at 1st but when you go into accounts & sync there was nothing there that you could set up, just blank. yea it was really odd though. i even went into personalize, widgets & then browse all htc widgets and there were a lot less on that ROM then on RAFDROID HD. i think this ROM had 35 or so were as RAFDROID HD has 70. i checked the thread late last night and it seems other people are having problems with it to on different builds so i dunno.
I guess I have to return to the previous version becouse i like facebook for htc sense widget
if you go to this thread and check out post 2351 someone uploaded htc-facebook. you woulod have to put it in system/apps & i cant say for sure if it would work or not.
