Hey everyone, don't be too harsh my first post here. Did a search and couldn't find anything on it. Just logged on the the HTC site and apparently there is an update to 1.84.666.2 for the HTC Desire Z on Bell. My phone is currently on 1.34.666.5 and when I check for update the phone says there are no updates available.

Would gfree work with this new update? Should I be upgrading to it now or wait until development is done on it.

Can't post outside links since I am a new user, but it is on the HTC site / ca / support / desirezbell / downloads /

Thanks guys.

If you're rooted and want a newer ROM, try the Virtuous custom ROM. Its based on 1.85, plus some extra features.

if you used gfree, id go with cm7 nightly. its almost rc3 and its by far the best rom I've used and I've tried em all. stay away from stock roms if your gfree.

right now i'm trying update the bugfix patch 3 for Dexter's ROM, but i got problem..

my phone already updated with patch 2, and now I'm trying to update to patch 3..

I follow this instruction based on thread by Mioze7Ae (link--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995989 )

Instructions:

1. Read all the instructions

2, Save stock221v3-bugfix-3.zip to OpenRecovery/updates/stock221v3-bugfix-3.zip

3. Boot to OpenRecovery

4. OR menu > nandroid > backup > system > backup selected

5. OR menu > nandroid > restore > stock221v13 > system > restore selected

6. OR menu > apply update > stock221v3-bugfix-3.zip

7. OR menu > wipe dalvik cache

8. OR menu > reboot system

until step 4, my OpenRecovery Back Up system got stuck in "system: Dumping..." and it has been already last for 30 minutes..

is it normal? should I remove the battery and start it again? is it safe if I remove the battery?

thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Yes pull the battery & start again. BTW, if you're already running Dexter's 1.3 w/ bugfix2 I don't think it's necessary to reinstall 1.3, just apply the new update after your backup completes successfully & wipe the dalvik-cache.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
You can just start from step 6. It's good practice to make a backup, though.

That list is meant to be a general purpose instructions that should work for everyone. It seems to confuse people when I try to explain shortcuts that could be made. I figure that if people know enough to spot short cuts or alternates, then I didn't need to explain it to them anyway.

Did you select compression when you made the backup? In my experience the compression step takes eons. It first dumps the image and then goes back and compresses it.
[Milestone XT720 General] kookaejung:
I followed the same instruction, but I see a lot of ERROR CODE -1 (E:Missing bitmap XXXX).

For example;

missing bitmap interminate6

missing bitmap progress_bar_empty_left_round

missing bitmap progress_bar_empty

missing bitmap progress_bar_empty_right_round

and so on.

It seems to be just the bitmap pictures file is missing, but why the patch installation is failed??

I already reloaded the stock221v13 one more time, but it does not fix the problem.

Can you please help?
[Milestone XT720 General] hwithv:
I have the same problem and my solution is that you should wipe cach and wipe data/factory reset before doing backup and download a fresh Open recoveries, then executing the backup
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
But... if you wipe data/factory reset there's no reason to do a backup. ;)

[myTouch 4G General] xiton:
Hello all,

I'm currently running CM7 build 31 and Faux's 2.3.0 LV Kernel. Everything works excellently, but I've noticed a common "theme" across many ROMs I've been using. My GPS and Google Navigation work horribly.

The satellite locks quickly, but I notice that when I come to a stop, the map screen starts changing directions as if I were moving my car, rerouting, and all kinds of crap. I've owned a few standalone GPS units and they've never exhibited this behavior.

Does anyone experience the same thing, and if so, could recommend a way for me to fix or improve my GPS experience?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] witeboy07:
I do,then when I move it works fine.
[myTouch 4G General] excarnate:
My GPS and nav have worked fine up until I installed nightly 31 and the 2.3.0 LV kernel (the 'CFS fix' one). Now it doesn't see any satellites at all.

[Edit: problem resolved by putting into and taking out of Airplane mode]
[myTouch 4G General] xiton:
Hoping others have more input here. Seems that witeboy also experiences my problem. However, sometimes because of the issue, it takes a very long time to pick up where it left off.

[EVO 4G Accessories] harleyf150drvr:
It says that it works with the 3500 Seido battery in the description. I may have to give it a try.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OutdoorOBW:
I am using the Seidio 3500. It should be here Wednesday or Thursday so as soon as it comes in I'll let ya know. Right now my Seidio door has a broken tab and doesn't fit right. I figured this whould be a way to get a new door and something other than white or black.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tracker Tim:
Better looking than my black cover.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OutdoorOBW:
I got the battery door in today and doesn't fit. When you close the top it pops the bottom open. I noticed that at the bottom in front of the kickstand it is a tapered where the Seido is not. The seller is great and refunded my money and said just to keep the battery door. So I may try and see if I can get it to fit somehow.

For the good news the red is almost a direct match as the red where the battery is. I also like the feel of that battery door better than the Seido.

Look Ma I gots a signature!
[EVO 4G Accessories] cds36:
Doesnt fit the 3500 but it fits the sprint 2600 with no issues?
[EVO 4G Accessories] OutdoorOBW:
If the 2600 is thinner than the 3500 then it should fit. I can't say for sure tho as I only have the 3500.

When running nandroid, it's a rule of thumb to have a fully charged battery. If the battery falls under a certain percentage, the script will not run correctly.

Try leaving the charger pluged in while using nandroid.

Lost mine in Vegas last week.

Have a couple docks and extra batteries etc so I figured I'd stick with N1 for now.

Also thought someone on here would be looking to sell so they can upgrade.

Of course there is ebay too.

If you have a N1 in decent shape ( no screen scratches ), PM me and perhaps we can work something out.

I've been running custom roms on mine since day 1 so don't really care too much what's on the phone currently as I'll almost certainly re-rom it.

[Thunderbolt General] mongoose0318:
On my new thunderbolt, I am experiencing a very low level hiss or white noise sound in the earpiece when making calls through the default htc dialer. This noise does not change regardless of anyone talking nor does changing the volume alter it. From reading and experimenting online, I have found two solutions:

1. Enabling hearing aid compatibility removes the hiss

2. Using a SIP dialer instead of the default phone dialer there is no hiss

I would stick with solution 1, except you can't adjust the volume with this setting. Does anyone have any suggestions for why hearing aid compatibility removes the hiss and if it is possible to modify the gain or other audio settings to replicate this fix without enabling that setting (and removing volume control)? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows of a good replacement phone dialer (not SIP) I would be interested in testing it on the thunderbolt as well.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] idntknw:
I have this issue also...here's what HTC had to say about it...

I understand that you have a problem with a sound like white noise on your calls with the Thunderbolt (except when you have your the phone in hearing aid mode). I believe that the issue with the phone calls may, illogically, be with the noise cancelation software of the device, and in that case there is a fix being developed for it as this noise cancelation software is also affecting videos recorded on the device. I do apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc for the latest news.

I installed the leaked RUU and still have the hiss...very annoying...

[HTC Inspire 4G] LordGeek:
I have some wallpapers that are 960x800 in which as I have read through the forums is what is needed for our Inspires ...

Question I have is .. if this is the size that is needed, why is it when you select your own images to use as wallpapers .. why does it ask you to crop, and not use the full 960x800 image ???

*** UPDATE ***

I found my own answer .. I was playing around with my phone and the wallpaper selection from my gallery .. and guess what .. I found the answer .. YOU ARE ABLE TO USE THE COMPLETE GRAPHIC (960X800) WITHOUT HAVING TO CROP !!!!

I made a video showing how to do this ..

You're going to love SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicblows:
i have tried both stock and custom ext4 roms. I say stay away from ext4 roms with journaling disabled as you will lose data and need to reflash your device evey few days. I went about four days before i started getting force closes and the alike. I also am loving the stock, dont really see a need for custom. and really sprint is discounting the phones so whats really wrong with carrier iq, its on their network and they have a right to know what we do with their phones. I also think that we should have to return the phones once the contracts are up or closed out for some reason. also for national security all voice / data / text and all should be save for national security reasons.

How long have you worked for Sprint? :cool:

I ask because you are on an android development website that is dedicated primarily to making the phones a better phone than stock.

Check your paycheck, I'm sure sprint gave you your bonus for that brownie dig.:)

Also, if I pay $400-$600 for a phone, it's mine not Sprint's.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroforme:
Frozen Rom Syndicate all the way for me. Love this thing now and it's not because Sprint made it this way. ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JettMartinez:
I've been on ext4, no-journaling since it first appeared on a ROM, in what January? I haven't had a single problem with data corruption. If you're having to reflash every few days, you're doing something wrong. I believe it's misleading to state as a fact that "you will lose data".

To the OP my personal preference is Bonsai 4.0 right now. I've also tried the Syndicate ROM and found it very very good. They're both blazing fast and seem to be leading the way in development progress. If you're looking for stability as top priority, Nebula and Epic Experience were very good in the past, though I haven't kept up with them recently and I don't think they're based off the latest. Official release yet.

The best thing to do though is decide for yourself. Read the Wikis, FAQs, and Guides. Read about the ROMS you're interested in. These threads can get awful long and intimidating, but reading them is your best fried. Certainly read the original posts, get a feel for the developers philosophy. If you can't read the whole thing, read the last 10-20 pages and see what issues/opnions there are on the latest release. If you've read enough to be comfortable with the flashing process, try a few before settling on a daily driver.

And backup. Always backup! :cool:

my friend recieved a letter from sprint saying he was rooted and using a custom rom and that he had to either take it in to a sprint store to return to stock and pay a fee to do so or his contracted would be terminated and he would owe the early termination fee as the contract forbids rooting of the phones. I quess like ATT sprint is now also able to tell who is rooted. i am guessing by when devs but their names into the system properties. and no he did not use it for wifi/wired tether.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Ummm its not illegal it just voids your warranty..

but someone would have to be REALLY unlucky to brick an Epic...

So i wouldn't believe your friend that sprint threatened him with terminating his contract plus ACS Syndicate has Carrier IQ removed so sprint won't know if you're on that ROM...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwn86:
Wow, where to start. Ignoring the fact that you obviously sound like some sort of sprint jerk off.

I'm a very amateur "rooter". I follow the directions on the ROMS/dev's thread to the T, and have never had a problem. I most recently updated to ACS 1.0.2. And was the first time I ever had problems. But I asked for help on their thread, and was getting responses almost in real time(thanks impaler you rock!). I have just downloaded ACS 1.1.0 and am stoked to start trying it out. In short, it is safe!

Just stick to builds that are stated as being safe for daily use. Don't go download the CM7 Alpha 1 build and then complain.

Um I'm sorry, I pay for the service; voice, data, sms, etc. And I bought my phone. So they don't have the "right" to know what I do with the service or what I do with the phone. Now if we need to return the phones when the contract is up then I need to get a refund on the phone. A 100% refund.

Oh my hell, you did not just bring up "for national security". Now you sound more like a politician. Talk about a steaming pile of bull $#!+, until I do something that warrants my "big brother" hanging over my shoulder, you can shove that. I'll never give up any freedom/privacy for some lame ass excuse as national security. And further more, why should sprint be involved in such matters?

I think I need to go vomit after reading such gestapo-ish garbage. :mad:

Or maybe just go to the shooting range :p (which I'm sure you also think shouldn't be allowed, for "national security").

Sounds like you're just trying to drop a sprint scare tactic to make this one user not root their phone, and see the true potential of the Galaxy device.

And until I see a "scanned", and notarized since I don't believe anything you say, I won't even listen to this garbage.

And as stated earlier, ACS has disabled the Carier IQ. So I don't see how they could possibly know unless you for some reason took it to the sprint store without re-flashing to stock(which by the way. I had a friend that worked at a sprint store. And based on his stories, I would highly recommend completely wiping a phone of any/all information. Texts, emails, pics, web, everything!! Before ever letting one of those perps look at it).
