I just read about a week ago that a oficial SDK was released from B&N. anybody know when we might see a fully functional OS 2.2 or higher?
I guess I need to post this in the developement area but I am not allowed.

Hi guys!
So I got my Samsung Captivate a week ago and unlocked it straight away.
My question is now:
If the new android Froyo 2.2 comes out, and I flash it, will my unlockcode stay the same?
cause I read here on the forums that if you update to 2.2 your unlock code will disappear!
From what i have read just write the code down. Then your good to go.

Until the official Froyo release comes out, no one knows for sure. Every answer is speculation based on the leaked Beta Froyo, or the i9000 release. The AT&T Captivate release may be different - since all AT&T phones are locked initially. But then again it may not be different. No one knows.
Thanks, I think that I will just write down my unlock code for now and wait a few weeks after the official release is out for gaining some knowledge about this subject..
anyone has more information about this?

I've not facebook: why a petition should be in vain at all?
This is the text of the petition:
To: Motorola Europe
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is still a top-class smartphone and there are no technical reason to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is yet announced on less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update Milestone smartphone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and is still to early stop supporting this device only after a year from it's commercialization. Especially for a top-class device.

before i'll create it, can you tell me if there are any grammar errors?

i personally appreciate your efforts however, i think they are wasted, im pretty sure 2.2 is the last official update we will see simply because it is motorola we are dealing with, not HTC or even smasung

I think that it would be better like this:
"Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is yet a powerful smartphone and there are no technical reasons to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is also announced for less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update the Milestone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and it is still too early to stop the support for it as it has been out for just a year, considering also that the Milestone is a top-class device."
Anyway good luck
Why don't simply asking for an unlocked bootloader that allow a full ROM cooking like for droid and all the other HTC devices?
I think that it will be easier to get this instead of an official porting from Motorola (absolutely not convenient for them)!
And the community later can develop for porting 2.3 on milestone too.
Much easier.... Doesn't it??
P.S I already had some experience in the past with petition and manufacturer (Eten/Glofiish/Acer) ... And this is my point of view...
Worry for official release of Froyo first...then think about Gingerbread.
Change the phone is the fastest option...just saying.
Whait for it. ...
Ahahahaha, if u think how long they took them to relese 2.2, a. ... whait, it's not relesed yet, then if u think a bit, the deam phone will break before you got 2.3
Just saying. .. =))

As above, ask for the bootloader to be unlocked instead.
If the device is classed as End Of Life, i.e no more updates happening, then it's more likely they'll unlock it....
Dont get your hopes up though, we still dont have 2.2.....

hello, I've had my HTC velocity for over a year now, i bought it already unlocked, and ever since i had it it's been running android 4.0.3 which I've now become annoyed with. and it doesn't upgrade automatically probably because its unlocked (my conclusion). I've done some digging over the year and realized that to get the upgrade i would have to root it. Problem is i have not the slightest idea of how to go about rooting it. Please help!!!
The vivid was never officially updated past 4.0.3, thats why you're not getting updates. The ROMs you see in the development forum are unofficial builds of newer android versions. Check out Albinoman887's thread for Cyanogenmod 11. Its probably the most stable current ROM we have, and it's what i've been running for quite some time.
In order to install such a ROM on your device (if you desire) you don't have to be rooted... but you will need to unlock your bootloader to allow you to flash custom ROMs. HTC makes that pretty easy, and you can refer to their website for instructions (htcdev.com/bootloader). You'll have to create an account with HTC but that's no more difficult than registering an XDA account.
Hi
NFC was not working after updating to lollipop -> It is allways crashing when reading a card.
I had to downgrade Android to 4.4.3 For having it working.
I would like to know if an lollipop ROM works with NFC correctly ?
My system :
HTC One M7
Android : 4.4.3
HTC Sence : 6.0
Version software 4.0.4
Nivel API de HTC SDK 6.25
(insert COin)
Did you uprade the Firmware to the latest version? Im talking about the Firmware not the Rom.
and did you a fullwipe in recovery before flashing Rom?
I dont have any issues with NFC.
Wich Firmware ? I'm not sure to understand you.
I had an official instalation of android until beeing automaticly updated to Lolilpop. From there, NFC is craching. So I looked how to downgrade and find a ROM "insertcoin-m7_4.0.4" that I had instaled.
Now it's working, but I would enjoy having a newer version for my HTC that works very well.
Coulod I instal any ROM I want with a correct firmware that works with NFC or is it coming with ROM ?
(Sorry for my little or absent knowledge, we are all newbies at the begining )
I red that in "github" :
I am thankful for your efforts ikarus. The day I upgraded to lollipop I contacted HTC as well and they told me they couldn't be sure if the error is caused by the firmware or the apps, even when I told them I had tried around 6 different apps from the store. I'm talking about one month ago. They said an official HTC app must be used to determine whether the NFC feature works or not but, ironically, there is not such official app. At the end they recommended to wait until the developers troubleshooted this but I think that at this point this very clear it is their firmware's fault.
I think you all would agree this is frustrating. One waits for an OS upgrade for months and when it comes things stop working. To make it even worse, the vendor announces there won't be more updates for M7 and you end up regretting to upgrade your phone. I even asked HTC fora way to revert to kit at, but they said it is not possible.
So, while they fix this, that will take months if they finally do it, do any of you know how to revert M7 to 4.4? Lollipop is rubbish anyway, for its battery consumption and it's there is no way to stop notifications vibration. I know this is a bit off topic, but I am desesperated here and could not find help in forums.

Hi,
I've been looking on the internet for information on updating my Memopad HD7 to Android 4.4, but am still unsure if it can be safely done or not.
I bought mine a year ago (july 2014), and I have not received any official OTA updates, I'm still on original version 4.2.2
asus support let me know via email (I'll translate into english):
"Asus only support the os software until a year after the warranty has expired
In this case your device will not receive any updates anymore from the Android OS"
This raises even more questions to me.
Some people have been getting new android versions on their memopad (e.g. here:
Anyway, to cut a long story short, can I safely update my me173x (memopad hd 7) to kitkat 4.4? Where do I get the necessary files. And where do I find a reliable documentation on how to do it. Does this look like a reliable source (article is from 2013...):
Thanks for all your wisdom.
Tom.
Well, Im sorry to say but the asus memo pad hd7 doesnt receive anymore software updates and there isnt any custom rom with android kitkat or higher...
