I'm using a Rogers 920 on T-Mobile. I live in an area where refarming is actively happening but not yet complete and I got curious to know whether my 920 is using T-Mobile's AWS or the refarmed PCS (1900MHz). Here's how to find out. First, make sure your phone is actually on 3G (might be...

Got my unlock code for my 8x, from T-Mobile USA. They sent the request for the unlock code for my 810 to Nokia. Guess HTC is a bit more on top of this than Nokia. Then again, HTC devices have always been pretty readily unlockable. Thanks T-Mo, love ya!

Rogers 920. Unlocked, works with AT&T UMTS and LTE, works with T-Mobile AWS UMTS -- no spectrum refarm needed to get 3G on T-Mo. Unbelievable in a very good way! Edit: It seems I spoke too soon about successful AT&T tethering. I thought I had it working but I asked AT&T to change my plan to...

The Adobe Reader update in the US marketplace is now to 10.1.1 (and not 9.0.0.0). So looks like the recent issue has been fixed.

Bought a white 900 at the Microsoft Store tonight. Suffers from the purple screen problem, and the rattling vibration problem. Also the camera is not as good as my original Titan. Wanted to love it but it's going back. Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

There were reports in December (2011) about T-Mobile turning on UMTS in the 1900 band, perhaps in conjunction with rolling out HSPA+ 84. Anyone ever experienced T-Mobile 3G/4G on any Windows Phone that has only 1900 (and not 1700) support? HTC Titan, Nokia Lumia 800, Samsung Focii, etc. The...

Got the ICS update the other day on my totally stock US wi-fi Xoom. So far, reliability has taken a step backwards. 1. The thing wakes up at random. As in, just sitting there on the nightstand sleeping, and all of a sudden it wakes up as if I had tapped the power button. 2. It's happened at...

The HTC YouTube app is no longer in the Marketplace, that I can find. It's not in HTC's section, and it's not in the regular section. The direct link below works in zune, but the app page says "unavailable". I get why MetroTube was pulled, but I would expect HTC to have more pull or whatever...

Anyone know the specific RGB value for the HTC theme color?

AT&T-branded Titan. I was using it as a GoPhone. Today I joined AT&T formally, which brought with it a new SIM. Now in the Marketplace, there is no 'AT&T Apps' section and I can't find any of the AT&T apps. I wanted to add the "my account" one. I really would like to avoid resetting the phone...

Got an AT&T Titan today. It seems to have wi-fi problems. I've connected it to my wi-fi network but frequently the phone refuses to *re-*connect to it. It can see the wi-fi access point and shows it with full signal strength but "forgets" to reconnect. When I tap on the connection in the list...

T-Mobile USA is offering the HD7 for free tonight. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Default.aspx?pricerange=0-0

(Forking original thread) I confirmed that the TMOUS Radar *is* capable of 3G on AT&T. I unlocked it this morning and put in a prepaid AT&T SIM (GoPhone). HTC Connection Setup ran and a few minutes later I was on AT&T with 3G support. The phone recognizes the HSPA+ signal and lights up the...

Picked up a Radar on release day. Utterly perfect as a mid-range device for someone who perhaps just needs a nice phone without all the premium goodies. Beautifully made, feels great in the hand. Another interesting tidbit: although none of the on-line specs ever mentioned it, the box says that...

Standard smartphone slipcases don't fit the DVP due to its slightly elongated form. However at Best Buy I found a case for a Garmin nuvi 3700 that fits just about perfectly. I say "just about" because it was very snug at first but it's loosened up now to the point being borderline too loose...

All the info I've seen so far indicates that the AT&T HD7S is *ONLY* 850/1900. No world-standard 900 or 2100, and therefore no 3G outside the US (and perhaps a couple of other locales). This includes a trip to the AT&T store to see it in person today and ask the people in there about int'l...

Just reset my HD7 and now can't find the T-Mo MyAccount app in marketplace. Can anyone else see it and send me a link? Does a XAP exist for side-loading -- that would also be an option if for some reason T-Mo yanked the app from the marketplace? I wonder if my phone got de-branded somehow...

This is huge for non-HTC WP7 devices. The latest Lazyworm YouTube app does proper HQ video over 3G. Very nice!

Firstly, let me say that I really like the Xoom, so please don't accuse me of trolling. But I can't believe how poor the email app is. I set it up with my Exchange server and there are 3 issues. 1. Folders are flattened out. Not too big of a deal, I could probably live with it. 2. No IRM...

I apologize if this is an Android FAQ; the Xoom is my first Android device. I set up my email account. It's an Exchange account and everything is syncing nicely. I notice that when replying to emails using the email app on the Xoom, the headers in the email I am replying to are anemic. What I...

OK, so I see a lot of discussion about putting storage cards into a DVP. I have not seen anyone say definitively which card actually comes with the phones. I bought an 8GB model last week and the SD card that came in the phone is an 8GB SanDisk class 4. What specific card comes in the 16GB...

What Dell-specific apps exist in Marketplace? On HD7 there's a flashlight, "attentive phone," notepad, etc. On LG they have an augmented reality app What is there for Dell?

I find the MediaUploader in the taskbar annoying because once an upload is done, the "done" icon stays in the taskbar forever. Even bringing up the notifications list does not dismiss the icon; I have to actually invoke the media uploader itself to get rid of it. Is there a way to control this...

[I asked this in the wrong forum previously -- sorry for the repeat topic] I would like to understand where the Model No string comes from. This value is shown in device info and apparently checked by some software to determine if it's running on "known" or "supported" phones (e.g., Bing). For...

General question about WinMo: where does the "Model No" value that is shown in Device Info come from? Is it something that can be changed without having to get a chef to create a new ROM and without reflashing my device? I am asking this because it seems that some software (e.g., Bing) checks...

TMOUS just lit up some more areas with HSPA+, including Seattle where I am. Tethered to a laptop, speedtest.net consistently reports just around 4Mbit down and 1.5 up. Opera on the device consistently reports around 1.5Mbit down. Incidentally, the device doesn't show "H" in the taskbar, it...

Folks, I like to run my HD2 with the standard today screen (not Titanium), and I populate it with several of the standard plug-ins, notably including date/time and calendar. I then add some apps like SPB Weather, SPB Phone Suite, and a quick-launcher to get my complete experience. What I'd...

I read the thread about Swype tap-hold issues with interest. I experienced the same thing... tap and hold simply does not work reliably. In addition to that issue, I found another problem with the stock Swype on the HD2: In some editing situations -- notably including the SMS composer --...

Stock (updated) AT&T ROM; PTT disabled and PTT button successfully remapped using the short_PTT.lnk/long_PTT.lnk method. Has anyone found a way to remove the "PTT Contacts" and "PTT Call History" items from the dialer menu? Apologies if this is a FAQ but I didn't find a solution.

I was away for a week and upon returning my Tilt is exhibiting some strange behavior that's different from before. Basically, data connections never drop. So once the first ActiveSync, use of Pocket IE, etc, occurs, the connection stays on forever. For example I just checked my phone and the...

Folks, My Tilt has no band tab in phone settings and as posted elsewhere the standard KaiserTweak settings don't make it appear. I'm using the Tilt in the USA ans so it's on 1900. Without the band tab, is the setting "auto"? If I take the phone to somewhere else in the world that uses...

Folks, (I've searched around a bit and seen some reference to this problem but no definitive discussion. I apologize in advance if I missed anything and humbly request a pointer to the existing info if so.) Just got a Tilt last weekend. On 3 occasions so far I looked at the screen and noticed...
