Hello,
Not been on here in a while, i think my signature is out of date
Here's the deal, my mate has a HTC Sensation on a 24 month contract (i think) with 3 in the UK.
He updated to ICS not long ago and he hates it, like really hates it.
He wants to downgrade to Gingerbread, which is the rom it had on it when he got it new.
He is worried about 3 finding out that he has been messing with his phone.
Now two things:
Where would i find the stock 3 UK Gingerbread rom for the Sensation?
And will 3 find out?
Thanks guys and i hope you reply.
If you get the stock replacement, there is no way the carrier will know.
There is a big list of stock replacements in the dev section i think

Hey guys, I recently got the Moto Quench (Rogers). I saw that it was running 1.5.
Is it possible that motorola will release a 2.1/2.2 for it sometime? I hate running outdated software.
Also as time passes this will get rooted right? Because there are some things that I would love to do once its rooted.
Thanks.
PS: Any other good android phones that are from Rogers that are equally or even better than this Quench?
soo... would anyone know? anything is appreciated. thanks
bump ? ^^ wanting some help here
Welcome to forums
have a look here
I have already asked that in those forums, there is no definite answer yet
Would anyone know if the X10 or HTC Magic+ (Both from rogers) are good? Is the HTC Magic+ from Rogers 100% rootable?
Thanks.
The HTC Magic+ is the old HTC Magic with Android 2.1 ... my advice is to stay away from it, its getting old. I have one and i'm looking for a good 1ghz device now because im tired of the lag.
btw its 100% rootable, i have CyanogenMod 6 on it.
Hi,
google led me here and i saw that questions like this were answered pretty well here, so ill try my luck.
i found the htc aria on the HTC US website and i like it pretty much. its just like an HTC hd mini with android.
i doubt it will come out in europe since we have the hd mini and wildfire here.
unfortunately the aria is AT&T exclusive.
i found out that you can buy the phone at retail price in the US and unlock it.
so im wondering if it would be working here in europe (germany).
will i have the full functionality in europe?
will i get updates such as android 2.2?
will the branding of the phone restrict anything?
ps: i know the phone is pretty new but i hope there might be someone who can help
I`m also searching for new phone and fell in love with the Aria in a video review I found in youtube. So would this phone be operational in EU or will there be something similar for EU rolling out from HTC soon?
hi everyone,
i was looking for a new phone since April 2010 and now I'm about to finally buy a phone.
I'm considering of three different options: buy HTC Desire-Z, wait for HTC Gratia or to wait until HTC releases a phone on Android 2.3.
On the one hand I'm looking for a good cellphone that will serve me for at leat three years and won't break because of program bug or problem (that doesn't depend on how I used the phone) in the physical item itself.
On the other hand I'm bored of waiting and i want it "Here And Now".
Please give me some advice what should i buy.
PS. I've been reading these forums for a long time, it's my first post here because I was only reading, i was kinda "Passive Client".
Thanks from ahead...!
Welcome to forums
If you can wait, wait
If not go for Desire Z and later you will be able to port it with Gingerbread 2.3 (not 3.0)
Thanks for your advice, I'll consider it.
Do you need a keyboard? Desire Z is a good option.
Otherwise, wait! Processor refresh is coming around February and it's going to be a serious leap
well, i dont need a keyboard just i heard that there are lots of trouble with the win7 and the other android phones
NOTE: I have read the older threads HD2 vs Galaxy S, but they're from the very beginnings of the two and, while I still believe some of the comments are fair enough, they refer to other times.
Ok, so here's the background: I own a Galaxy S (GT-i9000) and I am not satisfied at all with it. Whatever Android version I'll flash on it, it does always strike back with some annoying bugs. Stock GB 2.3.6 works but many apps I have will not go along with it; CM9 (ICS 4.0.4) works, but hangs too often. CM10 (both JB 4.1.2 and 4.2.1) for some reason is so slow I can't even keep it for a day-to-day use, and it crashes frequently with no apparent reason. Finally I ended up using a CM11 nightly (KK 4.4.2), and seems to work, I'm still testing it.
But the point is I can't keep going on like this. It's more than a year that I don't have a stable configuration on the phone and I keep flashing ROMs and installing apps over and over every two weeks or so, every time going through all the settings again and again, restoring backing up and restoring... I'm just tired of it all!
Today, good news: A friend gifted me his HTC HD2 because he messed up with the software and the phone wasn't working anymore. I managed to flash the original WM6.5 OS and I found out that the touchscreen wouldn't respond to any kind of touches -> most probable cause, as discovered from searches, is the touchscreen controller which got broken. A touchscreen (only) would cost me around 25€ (around 35$ USD) excluded the costs of the actual replacing job. Not a very big deal, I may afford that.
I haven't tried an Android OS on the HD2 (even if wanted, I couldn't with a broken touch) but I see there are many custom ROMs available, and this is nice. Hardware differences seem to be not too big and honestly I like very much the HD2 design and the slightly heavy feel of it in my hand (off topic: what's all this thing about making phones light-weight? it's not like people would love to have a piece of paper in hand instead of a phone ). The Galaxy S is just awful from this point of view and as I said before, I am not satisfied at all with it.
The big question: is it worth spending money on the HD2, so I could replace my Galaxy S (possibly sell it)? Or should I keep the Galaxy S? When replying with your opinion on which should I keep, please add your reasons for suggesting such. And before you ask, yes, I have a whole life (apps) on android that I need so I would be using Android on the HD2. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello,
I bought this phone last month and got it a few days ago.
( ht tp: //www(dot)ebay(dot)ca/itm/5-0-IPS-QHD-Android-4-4-2-Unlocked-GPS-Smartphone-2Core-2Sim-3G-GSM-Cell-Phone-/121740001658?var=&hash=item1c5845017a )
So far, the phone rocks.
However, when i got it it had Android 5.0.5 on it so i would like to find a ROM for either Android 4.2.2 or Android 5.0.5 to flash it with.
However, I can't find any info on the phone other than what's on the eBay page and i don't want to flash it and have a bricked phone... So, What is my best option here?
I was looking at something like SlimBean, Something clean and simple. Like SlimBean but like i said, I would hate to brick my phone.
Thanks,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Chances are if its a random no name handset from China people won't have specific information regarding it. If you wanted a badass phone at a good price the Nexus 6 shamu is awesome.
