Hey everyone,
Last week me and my friend bought a fake iPhone that runs on an Android 2.2.1 ROM with an iPhone interface. There was a version of Skype pre-installed on the phone, but the version got stuck at the sign in screen (after pressing sign in) every time we tried.
After a few days of sniffing around on Google and downloading quite a few versions, we have still got the same problem. On the internet are a lot of posts about this, but there is no clear fix for the problem.
Our carrier is China Unicom, they have a 2G and 3G network and we also have a wireless. Although we came to understand that wifi is not supported on the mobile versions of Skype.
Can anyone help us out with a fix for this very annoying problem?
Cheers,
Bump, any reply would be helpful
This is kinda lame... So many views so little answers?
You've got a phone that nobody has and you can't identify, based on an old OS version ... there really isn't much we can tell you other than: try different versions. It seems like a problem with your firmware, and updating from such an old version would seem like a good idea for security reasons alone... but since this is a phone that doesn't officially exist, I doubt there's a project that creates custom firmware for it.
if you want, i got an skype beta for android, can send you link

Hello everyone, i know i ask a annoying question but it's a kind of an emergency
I gave my old Himalaya to my dad, who use it mostly abroad for navigation and mail checking.
A few days ago i installed him one of the new WM 6.1 ROMs, but this turned out to be a big mistake (shame on me, never change a running System...i should have known). Because today he called me, and told me that he couldn't use it anymore (random lockups, couldn't boot it etc.).
And now i ask the one Million Dollar Question:
Can someone give me an advise for a stable WM ROM, i don't care if its a new or a old rom, it only has to be STABLE. As i mentioned before he only need it for Navigation with the iGO Software, mail checking with Flexmail, and Bluetooth must work for the GPS Receiver. Maybe it could also have a MMS Application, but that's not essential.
Btw, he speaks German, so if there exists a German Rom somewhere, that would be even better.
So please help me out, coz i don't have the nerves to fix it every week
I have tryed Several and one of My Favorites is 3.50c.40cs

Hi all,
Merry Christmas to all on this wonderful site
I have been using the HD2 from the last 5-6mts. However, recently noticed that the problem with not getting enough network on my cell phone, calls dropping, sms giving a problem. If I get the phone inside my apartment, get very less network, unlike other handsets where using the same SIM, I get excellent reception! I don't know if any upgrade is required or not.. below are the phone details.. I really don't want to give up on this beauty, I love it except for this...
Model : HTC HD2 T8585
s/n : HT03XNW03568
IMEI : 35412003737464001
OS : 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version : 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version : 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM DATE : 01/11/10
RADIO VERSION : 2.06.51.07
PROTOCOL VERSION 15.30.50.07U
I trying to upgrade the ROM on the HTC India as well as UK site but keeps telling me the s/n number does not permit this upgrade!
Totally confused and don't have a techie mind here to apply ..so ne step by step help would be gr8.
Also read a few posts of people upgrading the HD2 to Android... Any specific benefits in doing so ? My battery life, call drops (no network) are quiet a pain with the above versions that I am using...
Cheers and thanks again to all for your help... please keep writing in with your suggestions / feedbacks..

Your Phone is Vodafone HD2 Sir
Go to here and download with your S/N
the new LEO-S Vodafone UK 3.14 Stock ROM
see you, in Artemis ROM thread...
hi there..
Thanks for being the 1st to reply spot on...I have a few questions though (pardon my ignorance on this and please be patient)
- The version i currently have is 1.66 whereas on the link which is for Vodaphone it is 3.14... is it ok to str8 jump to this version or are there any other versions I need to first update and then go to the latest one ? BTW I use a separate service provider in India (and not vodafone).
- I have Microsoft My Phone on the phone which I have loaded all the contacts/sms etc on. After the download is over, am assuming I will have to reload all the contacts/sms again ?
- I am downloading the ROM upgrade file on the desktop (use Vista) without attaching the phone with the USB cable. Am assuming to run the .exe file I will need to attach the phone to laptop and then run the file ?
- Will the Radio versions get upgraded too ? As I think the calls dropping due to network issues is to do with the Radio versions...
Kindly revert when convenient, the download is ongoing on my laptop as I write this message...
Cheers and thank you again for your help.
Greetings from India
to each question above.

no, you can't change radio on 3.14 roms because there is no hspl for it yet.
hi there,
Thanks for your kind revert.
Does that mean the call dropping thing will not improve with the new ROM... the Radio version shows 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 where as the version I am on is 2.06.51.07. Hope this Radio upgrade along with the ROM upgrade helps cause the call drops are quiet unprofessional especially when someone calls from work... and I don't seem to face this problem on other handsets which are less than a fraction of a cost to the HD2...
yea going from 2.06.51 to 2.15.50 should certainly see improvement.
Hi samsamuel,
i have bad news for you. After two or three months of use, my HD2 started to drop Data, SMS couldn't be delievered sucessfully and I wasn't able to do any phone calls in certain areas. I send it for rma an got an new one after 3 weeks.
hope this helps
Hi there,
I just did a ROM upgrade... Thank you all in here...
Some more questions on it...
- I get the vodafone logo on the start up... hope that shouldnt create a problem with settings with my own service provider as I do not use vodafone...
- While sending SMS, it quickly shows sending failed. After a 2nd retry, the message goes thru successfully... ne reason why ?
- My WAP/GPRS settings are obviously gone and my service provider will call 2mrw to load it back again...only then will i be able to sync by address book from Microsoft My Phone
Kindly advise/comment on the above when you guys can...
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers!

lol, not bad news for me, i hate the 2.15.50 radio, its rubbish. i was being general, and the Op should see an improvement by moving up a few radio versions.

thats the 'splashscreen', its just a picture, you can change it just like flashing roms.

shouldnt need to wait for them to do anything
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup.
Im surprised it didn't run automatically when the phone restarted.
hi Samsamuel,
Thanks, as always for your help.
- How does one change that vodafone logo showing up on start up or on shutdown ?
- I too was surprised as to how the wap/gprs settings didnt come on automatically... finally after around 14hrs of logging a complaint, waiting for 2hrs on the phone (literally over several calls) and visiting the service providers store, the WAP/GPRS settings were provided and I could get my contact list reloaded again...Now you know the level of service that we get.
- Any other recommendations on any applications / upgrades on the phone would be appreciated...Do you recommend I change the radio version as the current one that i have with this upgrade is 2.15 and didn't notice much difference in the connectivity area (which is my main problem really) though have used it only for a day as yet.
Cheers!
see the 'splashscreen watermark' link in my sig for the technicals of flashing splashscreens.
for recommendations, i rarely offer recommendations, except cookies home tab
i didnt like 2.15 radio, but its very VERY much trial and error, , no two people agree on radio performance. for me 2.10.50 and 2.11.50 work best.
I wonder if anybody can enlighten me on a couple of issues with the Arnova 10 g2? I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and I am less than happy.
As far as I can tell by searching online the Appslib market pretty much never works - okay, it is Christmas and every kid and his mate has probably just gotten one - but still, I am seeing the same problems reported last year at this time.
More annoying is that it will not connect to Facebook at all. Just keeps telling me there is a server error. It is connected fine to wi-fi at home and I can understand the market being dross, but why won't it connect to Facebook servers?
Anybody have any advice or had the same issues and resolved them?
Don't have an Arnova, but you might check this forum.

hi there, im a new user. and new to the android world completely. ive been an iphone owner since release. but when the abomination of the iphone 5 was released, and my network provider were demanding £100 for an extra row of apps! i decided it was time for a change. and im so happy i have. android is far superior. and i dont know how ive managed with out.
now i dont know much about rooting and hacking, and im currently reading up on it. how ever the main thing i want from my phone at the moment is a software upgrade EE are being very slow at rolling out the 4.1 update and im still stuck on 4.0 when a lot of my friends are on 4.1 and above. the only computer i have access to is an apple mac ( i know but im a music student and i need logic pro for my course) so my main question is can anyone tell me if i can still root & hack the phone with a mac? what software do i need? and how do i do it.
thanks in advance. jack :laugh:
Use isyncer available on Google play along with the Mac program downloaded from isyncer's website (Google it) to be able to sync ur phone to your iTunes library. Great app because it copies the exact album art and I tune library tag over

You can install a Virtual Machine mac app with Windows 7. After that mount your phone inside that VM, install drivers for the phone, download the firmware you want and flash with odin.
Good luck.

But you have to be careful, as because of the small patent issues and court cases, your mac will try to send premium SMS to charge you for using Apple patent for peaceful communication with Samsung device
I'm using iSyncr from the Play Store (you can try the free version first if you want, it has some limitations though, I think a song limit or something like that).
It has a client running in the background on your Mac 24/7 and when you connect the phone it starts up and asks you what you want to sync, showing you all the music you have in iTunes.
For other stuff I use the wonderful AirDroid, to which you connect from your browser.
This combination works great for me for normal use, and WiFi transfer speeds are great for normal usage.

i have to say welcome to freedom jack
you are personally the 6th person I know say goodbye to the apple jail
I have all my friend change to android ones they use my sgs3 and they all have macs
like Mr Benthe suggested just before me
so I'll give you the same help
if some one has already suggested "android" sorry I haven't read all of the responses.
if you encounter any issues using adb or sdk editing I can suggest "parallels" for mac you can Google it pretty much embeds xp functionality to any mac so any pc software can be run without any problem
if you install the latest "kies" from Samsung I suggest you do it ones you add parallels as it will work better ones you do that skies from Samsung will look at any backup you did to your iPhone and suggest getting all this settings and ad them to your sgs3
ones you get the handle of these "flashing" rooting and all the mumble jumble
I suggest start with search for you carriers modem and learn it as you'll have some connection issues if it does have a preferred modems . then personally
try stock kernels like dlib jelly bean one of the best stock kernel in my opinion
then go ahead and go crazy with any custom kernel

Hello:
I'm cuban. A year ago I got a Motorola Defy (MB525). I had the same problems that everyone: my phone got freeze all the time and with the cuban wheather, more often yet!!! I started to study and now I use CM. Right now I have CM10.2 by Quarx on my phone. I feel fine with it! I update it almost every week
Recently Cuba has offered the service of GPRS and EDGE. Here is my problem:
It is a reality that the connection in Cuba is the worst ever seen. I get the GPRS service in order to have e-mail on my phone, and everything was fine till all the people started to use it. After that I can't get connected during the day AT ALL. In the night, right now it is very difficult. I can't check my e-mail until 2, 3 o 4 am. Surely that's because all the traffic in the net but my friends with iPhones and smartphones with stock ROMs get connected almost every time they want!!!!!! That freaks me out!!! Now, I don't know what is wrong. I switched to CM11 for a week and the result was the same. I've tested all the american basebands (with this app: MFUNZ_DEFY.BasebandSwitcherV4.1.apk) and nothing. I have selected the 2G and 3G indistinctively and nothing. I don't know what to do to get better in this aspect. I have only left to switch to my stock ROM and see what happens but I don't want that and all the Defy user should know why.
I know cuban problems are weird but I cannot change that. Could be the CyanogenMod ROM that doesn't develop this aspect so much???
I will appreciate any suggestion. Please, can anyone help me???
Sorry about my english, I did my best.
Thank you all!
