[Q] CDMA Desire (US Cellular)

I just saw a video review of US Cellular's new CDMA version of the HTC Desire. No doubt the people who buy this phone will discover all sorts of information on this forum... info that could (I'd imagine) seriously harm their phone if they try to flash their CDMA Desire with a GSM Desire ROM!
Might it be appropriate to give this variant its own subforum? Or failing that, post some prominent warnings that the US Cellular HTC Desire is a significantly different piece of hardware?

I guess nobody with one of these has discovered the forum here yet?

(noob here). Can it really cause that much problems? I'm going to be picking up the Desire from Telus soon. Are you saying that I won't be able to use the current custom ROMS?

The Telus Desire is not CDMA - it's GSM/HSPA like all the others. Custom ROMs will work as long as they support the SLCD screen (some are written only for AMOLED screens).
I'm specifically talking about the US Cellular HTC Desire, which is the first CDMA version to be released.

And so it begins...

I have mine as well. Can we root with the guides using the desire from other carriers?

And has anyone who has gotten the new USC Desire, have you tried the current root method to see if it works. I have doubts that it will.

agree with the OP.
just like the sprint hero and the GSM hero.
need to be a subsection. like you said it could seriously damage the phones if they flash the wrong things. hope a mod creates a different section soon.

+1 on that. There's a lot of people out there who don't even know the different between GSM & CDMA.

Also, it would help for development in general (root and roms.)

I really think the mods should open seperate forums for Desire GSM and Desire CDMA, because as both phones use completely different radios, chances are it will wreck the phone if you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone.

Anyone know who any of the mods for the Desire forum are? I would just PM them but I'm not sure who they are.

[Q] new dinc2 user from italy, vocal composer problem

hi, i'm new on xda and in the use of dinc2...
i buy it in us and is verizon branded and i unlock it using a code,
everything is working perfect, but because i use iton motorbike i need the vocal composer to work perfectly but, after i set it to "italiano", it never work in italian but it work almost perfectly in english.
for now i solved the problem using to say the command and name in english but i would like to say them in italian.
can someone help me please?
thanks

wish I could help ya out.

thanks my friend

This forum is going to be primarily American (very few global users). You might try asking in the Incredible S forum as there will be more global users and the IS and I2 are very similar in software and hardware. At worst they'll be as unhelpful as us Americans

[Mod request]New forum for cdma WFS

There seems to be a lot of confusion going on between the gsm and cdma versions of the Wildfire S, and people are causing big problems for themselves by not reading(or cant read), plus its also a headache for other users trying to pick thru useless information to get what they need. Maybe a little to late, but is there anyway to split this forum up?

Good idea, was thinking of the same thing to do.
The forum can be split, I've done it on PHPBB3, I don't know whether it works on VBulletin (Isn't that what this forum uses? Correct me if i'm wrong.)

Thirded, would help stop stupid people (like myself) from bricking their phones by flashing the wrong ROM ;_;

I agree, this should be done. I too bricked my first wildfire s after trying to use the "stock roms" listed in the stickied thread at the top of this forum. Stuff in that post is kinda mixed, or mislabeled, or even unlabeled. I don't recall seeing anything about GSM only roms on the few I looked at, but there is a chance I did over look it.
but yes, Wildfire S CDMA thread split!!!!

Idea is gold. Already quasi-bricked one phone

Good idea, will save a lot of hassle and money, in some cases.

sounds like a plan!!!

This is a good idea, even more so bc it appears that a lot of people have jumped on the holiday deals for the Virgin mobile WFS. Please split this thread!

I'm one of those folks but at least I already own an Android tablet so rooting, etc. wasn't a new concept. But since I already lost 5 bucks (not very much I know) purchasing a case for the "other" Wildfire S instead of the Virgin Mobile one I think it's a great idea.
Related question: I searched but perhaps didn't use the correct magic combination of search terms. Is there a thread somewhere that explains the differences between the different versions of the phone? Things like size, location of ports that sort of thing so my case problem will never happen again?

The virgin mobile one is called A510c which is a CDMA phone. As you know, CDMA phones don't have a sim card slot. I'm not quite sure about the A510a version. A510b has a slower processor as compared to the A510e which has a 600MHz processor.
Hope this helped!

I agree with this tread.

In Favor
I would concur. Much like Hero and Hero CDMA or other variants. I tried to port the Euro version over to the CDMA side last night. No working touchscreen; which, sucks when it boots up to a lockscreen Anyway, the devices are quite different.

It is possible insert language pack on T-Mobile Stock ROM ?

Hi guys I was got in a trapped situation when I bought a S3 International GT-I9300, but receive a T-Mobile SGH-T999 model, the problem is: all apps under language O.S., like S-Voice, Navigation, TTS, etc..., don't understand or speak Brazilian Portuguese.
It's possible to extract a language pack from S3 International and apply into T-Mobile Stock ROM ?

I am moving this out of Development because it is not, and moving it to Q&A. You might want to see if someone can help you in the International forums also. Might actually be a better resource (maybe not though).

Acro HD (SO-03D) Will not get official JB

Since I've looked for the same thing, I thought I'll make it easier for other people who got the Japanese version of the Acro S.
According to Docomo, even though it says that the Acro HD is aligable to updadate til 2015 (2015年11月30日まで):
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/support/utilization/product_update/list/so03d/
According to this latest post they made on their site, Its not on the list of devices which will get the 4.1:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/info/notice/page/130508_00.html
Sony and Docomo are ****ty companies
After having 3 Sony devices, its time to try another brand... :crying:
PS.
I didn't know where to post this,
If there are some other people sitting on their asses waiting for an official update (like me), they can forget about it. at least here in Japan. Just root your phones and flash something you seem to like - at least you won't get stuck with all the Sony and Docomo bloatwares ! I mean, who needs 3 different Home applications ?!?!
As I understand it, the Acro S will get a JB update, but the Acro HD won't !
EDIT: Added the reply from DOCOMO (06/08/2013) during this time Android 4.3 Has already been released.(for other devices)

woah, thats a serious letdown

I talked with several Docomo employees but they had no idea what's going on, most didn't even notice Sony Ericsson was no longer on the new devices XD
They couldn't help nor answer any of my questions including the managers of the branches I went to.
Yodobashi Camera's Docomo was also not helpul!
I mailed sony, in Japanese of course and I'm waiting for an answer... though I'm sure they will blame it on Docomo, and that they should be in charge of updates.
The costumer service here in Japan is quite good, but if you ignore the fake smiles, and text-book answers, they can't help you much, don't know much, and well... Just doin' their job of taking your money, provided no explanation, knowing very little English to none, and well, being, how do you say this... しつこい。。。
Thats my two-cents on this matter.
When I'll get an official reply from SONY, I'll post it here.
:angel:All HAIL XDA-DEV.!!!
For all the devs. out there, thanks <3

You can, but its not official and I guess you will lose all the 'good' docomo apps. like the e-wallet and InfraRed etc.
why can't we get a normal official update like the rest of the world ... they really expect japanese people to go out and get a new phone every year.
its outrageous !
I think it was the last Sony Ericsson ... well, no more SONY for me...
I've yet to receive a reply from them
they will join my blacklist ... along with HP...

I'll try flashing it next week...

I'm sending another mail to Sony and I'll be waiting for its reply.
The context was this:
"Hello,
I've got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Acro HD SO-03D from Docomo.
I wondered when this device will get a Jelly-Bean 4.1 and above update.
The rest of the world, and the other-than-japan Acro S version, already gotten an official JB update several months ago.
Why is it that a Japanese based company doesn't release updates for the japanese costumers?
Please get back to me.
Respectfully,
XYZ"
EDIT: Sent the same Email to Docomo as well.
I will post the reply as soon as I get one ...
The reply from DOCOMO:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry.
This is M. Saito from the docomo Mail Center.
We are very sorry for the trouble, but regarding the Xperia acro HD SO-03D provided by DOCOMO, we have no plans to release an OS version update to Android 4.1.
Regarding the above model, it is not possible to implement an update due to hardware restrictions, etc. We would greatly appreciate your kind understanding.
I am sorry that we were not able to meet your request.
We sincerely look forward to your continued patronage towards DOCOMO.
Sincerely,
M. Saito

Another reply from DOCOMO:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us again.
This is S. Igarashi from the docomo Mail Center.
As we mentioned in our earlier reply, we do not have any plans to provide an OS version update to Android 4.1 for the Xperia acro HD SO-03D due to hardware restrictions etc. We would appreciate your understanding regarding this.
Furthermore, performing a procedure to “root” the Android OS is not something that is recognized or accepted by DOCOMO.
*”Rooting” a phone refers to the performing of operations that allow unauthorized changes to be made to the phone’s settings by enabling the user to gain administrative rights to which they would not ordinarily have access.
Please understand that DOCOMO does not provide support for “rooting” operations, and if you root the phone under your own responsibility and discretion, DOCOMO’s warranty will be invalid even if the phone malfunctions or is damaged, etc.
We are sorry for not being able to provide you with the answer you were hoping for.
DOCOMO listens to each and every opinion from our customers and will continue to strive to provide better products and services to satisfy our customers’ needs.
We look forward to your continued patronage.
Sincerely,
