[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Guys, the user experience with this Inspire is just getting better and better. It now is super fast compared to my experience with HD2 DHD ROMs. The boot-up is almost instantaneous and the page loading in menus like Manage Apps is so much faster now.

I doubt I will ever even root this glorious machine. I'm admiring like an iPhone.

For anyone on the fence about a purchase, Hell yes! Let it have a couple days of break-in and you will see the difference from first turning it on. I'm just glad I chose the Inspire over the Atrix. The Atrix is a super nice machine, but I just don't believe it can top the silky-smooth and top-notch user experience of the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
you got it right when you said the Inspire was gorgeous....my roommate is all about his iphone4, and i'm all about hating on apple (used them for 3 years and couldn't wait to be done) and telling him how great android is.

Lets just say i caught him today picking up my phone and telling me how awesome it was and how he actually wanted one after playing with the Inspire. I had the Captivate and that just didn't do anything for him, but the Inspire is just perfect!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
The Inspire has some serious appeal. I still love my iPhone 4, but the Inspire has a quality all its own. :) My serious personal view of the DesireHD/Inspire 4G is that it should be the actual Android flagship smartphone. The OS...Android 2.2.1...combined with HTC's Sense 2.0 is just purely the cream-of-the-crop. The lag some people complain about with Android just isn't even a hint in this OS and on this hardware. I owned a WP7 HTC HD7 for about half a year and found the UI to be the smoothest I'd ever experienced. There was nothing that was a smooth. That was then, this is now. This Inspire is easily just as smooth, quick and clean as that WP7 HTC HD7. And the battery life is a little bit better, too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sukuiku:
Just got my Inspire two days ago. A bit leery of rooting myself. I've read the threads and instructions a few times, as well as watched the video, but I'm just terribly afraid of making a bad mistake, lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
For what root provides, I just see no desire to do it. The sum total of the apps I won't be able to use are currently 3, MyBackup Root, Titanium backup Pro, ShootMe. For how well this phone works and how clean it is, I'm wanting to keep the iPhone style feeling I have with it. Rooting it and such would just lead to a mess for me. It would strip away the pristine cleanness and purity of this fine piece of hardware.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sukuiku:
Understandable. I would love to be able to use ShootMe and install new themes, but with being so new at things like this, the risk seems greater than the reward. I installed Launcher Pro and I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of customability I have with it, though.

I know there's a lot more its capable of after being rooted but most of it isn't something I would use, lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
If you mean skins, don't worry about the them. I installed a bunch of them on mine and there is no risk that I can see. Currently using the Wildflower HD and it works just like the original. I think I have 20 skins installed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
There isn't really much risk rooting the phone - the only real risk is if you apply ENG S-OFF because that involves replacing the bootloader and if something goes wrong there, you're bricked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
I don't see why everyone is afraid of rooting this phone, this is the first Android phone I've ever owned, and the first I've ever seen rooted, and I was done in a couple hours, it was easy, just read and follow instructions. For me being able to take screenshots is the biggest reason I rooted, but have found many other reasons that I'm glad I did. Messing with an iPhone for a year, if I screwed something up I would be in for a long process of re-syncing and setting everything up, but with clockworkmod, if u screw something up, a backup including all data and settings in all apps is just 10 mins away. Being able to overclock to add a little extra smoothness to the UI is very nice. And having the freedom to run the software I want and not run the software I don't want is huge.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
It isn't about fear. For me, I prefer to retain the pristine nature of this phone. So I don't want to root it and open it up situations that could slow it down and cause it to be buggy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
Rooting is well worth the trouble. And to me, having all the bloatware removed yields a more pristine nature...
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Rooting only makes the phone faster and cleaner, not the reverse;-).
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
oh ho! wadd up brother!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
No, I disagree. Rooting allows you to do things that can cause issues. For people who know how to program and code, they can usually get better results. But for people who just need a phone to work and do what it normally does, rooting can be destructive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
yes ROOTING can cause somewhat destruction.

today while upgrading my phone to COREDROID, that thing bricked my phone. Somehow, I managed to fix my phone.

The coredroid thing made my BOOTING SCREEN STUCK. never got to its next step.

im not a coder or anything, im just following guides.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
This is the reason I haven't rooted. I'm tech-savvy, but not a developer or anything. I see countless threads related to issues that seem to have risen from rooting. Either an issue arises during the process, or something happens that wouldn't have happened without root. And then there's that "you could brick your phone" deal. I'll stay unrooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
i'm of the mindset that the user roots using well tested how-to guides, and using well tested ROM's known for good results. beginner users usually wouldnt try to compile their own ROM or flash experimental kernels. at least that's the way i usually see it. its best to use well known ROMs like cyanogenMOD.

and of course i assume the phone is easily rootable, so a good guide poses very little risk, if any. if the phone is not easy to root, then different story.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
I'm more talking about rooting just to be able to use certain apps that require a rooted phone. Switching ROMs is a different story and the devs are usually highly skilled at providing rooted and trouble-free ROMs. In my case, though, it would feel more like trampling or desecrating a pristine wilderness by flashing a custom ROM on my Inspire. I'm more of a mind to leave it as is because it works perfectly fine. I just can't use a handful of apps. If I root and don't use a custom ROM, I'm opening my Inspire up to troubles that I just don't want to face.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I've heard around from numerous users that it isn't easy. Quite a pain actually. I wish it wasn't though. I know the possibilities that root opens up...

[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
It's not hard to root this phone, it just takes time to become familiar with the process required to root this phone. If you are computer literate, and have some basic experience with computer usage other than internet explorer and paint, then following the instructions on either of the root processes should not be hard. It is time consuming, and to some not worth the time required to learn the process, but if you like to learn and have ever done something like install Windows on a computer, then rooting should not be considered "hard" to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Zing.

It really isn't that difficult. I ran the hack kit and struggled for a bit using it, but I learned and now know a decent amount regarding the instructions you see on the forum. I'm by far an expert, but just by browsing the forums and using some Google you'll learn a whole new thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Cool. Thanks. I'll probably reconsider.

Wrong.

Android is an open OS which means developers can improve and release to the public.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ashykat:
I use a Sony Receiver in my car which is bluetooth compatible. When I've used an iPhone and a Droid 2 with it in the past the audio streaming has been great, but I've noticed when testing it with an Arrive and with an HD7 it sounds like it's streaming at a low bitrate. It gets kind of crackly. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if there is some sort of setting I can use to adjust it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
I've actually wondered if they dropped the bitrate on bluetooth audio streaming with the NoDo update, or remixed it. My memory may be failing me, but I swear I had a better audio streaming to my car stereo and bluetooth headphones on my Samsung Focus before the update. It sounds like the highs are mixed more sharply now, with missing mid/bass emphasis. This is to a nice JBL 8-speaker system in the car, and a pair of Sleek Audio SA6s via a Jabra 3030. Anyone else noticed a change in bluetooth audio streaming since NoDo?

[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
So I got my tablet, and read through all the directions to instal CWM, market fix, flash, new ROM etc... But the problem I have is when in one of those steps the process was to mount usb so I could transfer files to the internal memory. I plugged the tab in unmounted and it worked fine. I mounted usb, plugged in the tab and got an immediate windows BSOD and had to force it to shutdown.

I manually moved files around, got a new ROM flashed and the tablet works fine. When I plug it in to my laptop under any configuration I get an immediate BSOD and have to force the laptop to shut down. No change on the tablet, it continues to work just fine.

My question now, is there a reason for this death of my laptop? Is it because it is 64bit? my Comp specs are: Dell XPS, Win7 Ultimate 64 bit, Core i5@2.667 Ghz, 6Gb RAM. The USB ports are 3.0, but I haven't had any problems with any legacy USB 2.0 devices yet.

I am new to Android, but I have been on this board for years. I am a little stumped here... Any help appreciated. I will continue my search and come back with any answers. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
Firstly, if you're in CWM, then you're supposed to plug the USB cable in first. Then mount the USB. It should then pop up on your PC screen allowing you to access it as a storage device. Then you unmount it in CWM, then you can unplug the cable after that.

You could have a bad or outdated USB (chipset) driver and/or your laptop's BIOS may need to be updated. Go to your laptop manufacturers website and download and re-install the chipset drivers and check to see if there is an updated BIOS.

BEWARE of flashing the BIOS. It could brick your laptop, just as you can brick your Android device by flashing it as well.
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
If laptop is win 7 64 you might need a new driver. look here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrcd87u1iy31u4e
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
I have spent the last few hours digging around on google trying to find a common solution, and it seems for us 64bit users it appears to need a new driver. I will find it and post the results. Thanks to all.

My laptop is less than three months old and I have been to Dell's downloads and drivers page and updated all available items, even the BIOS within the last month. Nothing new when I checked.

Appreciate the help, all.
[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
I forgot to add above that I am also using Windows 7 x64 and have no issues.
[G Tablet General] magqccom:
BSOD is caused by a driver most of the time. Try to remove other peripherals before mounting usb storage to see if you have a conflict with an other driver.

What does does the blue screen say? IRQ LESS OR EQUAL?
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
I do not get that error, the top line says "system_services_shutdown" or something to that effect. Half of the times it freezes the hard drive starts humming something fierce and I am afraid of damaging something. After I flashed Vegantab on it it BSOD's everytime I plug it in, mounted or not.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
Probably a shot int he dark here but, at first I had no issues with connecting to W7 64bit at all. Connected the first time and was recognized without issue. 1 issue I did come across was, that sometimes I DID get a BSOD and then an immediate shut down on my workstation. After doing research on the matter, I found a solution that worked for me.

The cables that are supplied with aftermaket devices are not properly shielded. And beings that the device is a TOUCH device it does build up a static charge. Verified that by zapping my 5 year old on the nose after playing on the Tab. figured out that connecting my Gtag was cause a static charge shutdown of my system.

My solution to the problem was to discharge any static by touching my PC case before connecting my USB cable to either device.

Haven't had a BSOD or shut down since then.

Just a thought.
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
Well, I dont think its a static charge erroring windows out, and I have had no luck updating drivers. I can't even plug it in without getting a BSOD. I plugged it in with it sleeping and that was fine, until the device woke up and it instantly BSOD'd again. I will keep looking for solutions, thanks for everybodies input.
[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
We need to know the information on the blue screen. At the very top, left, it will have the error message. At the very bottom, it will have the error code something like "0x0000001e".

Write down (or take a big-sized picture) of the BSOD so we can get the information off of it and help you further.
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
Sorry, been busy at work and have been away from my tablet modifying. I took a picture of the immediate BSOD, which is still happening with VEGAntab gingerbread edition...
[G Tablet General] Pacifik:
Will this happen with any USB device or just the tablet?
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
Just the tablet. Every other device pugs and plays just fine. Driver update did not help. Still looking for a cause and solution. I am thinking it is my laptop, but I will figure it out.
[G Tablet General] kdj67f:
I just picked up an HTC incredible from my sister, plugged it in and it acts as a usb drive, HTC sync and Verizon modem all just fine, self installing all necessary drivers. The tablet still BSOD's my laptop every time and updating the drivers has not helped. I am thinking it must be a hardware issue with the USB3.0 board in my laptop. I'm at a loss for solutions here.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
Listen, turn off streak, when completely turned off press both volume up and down button then power on, do not remove your fingers on up and down button until the 4 choice menu appears, do not remove your fingers when you see the dell logo, the 4 choice menu comes after the dell logo, i repeat, it comes after the dell logo so do not remove your fingers until you see the 4 choice menu. If you can not follow this instruction i do not know if you could follow the instruction on streakdroid on how to set up qdltool, that is the other way to reset your streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramtix:
Hi tyler,

You have to click all those 3 buttons altogether and dont remove your fingers until the dell logo disappear and replaced by the menu.

Here is a link from streaksmart on how to get to the menu,actually this tutorial is how to calibrate screen, but it is on the same menu.

I know what to do but I'm telling you it does not work on this streak its weird I tried on another streak and it worked but not mine its very odd
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramtix:
yeah, that is strange.Can you go on fastboot? that is poweroff your phone and then power on holding the camera button at the same time.

If you can do that, then I guess you can update the baseband and maybe can reset to recovery. Search for the forums on how to update baseband if you can go fastboot. I'm not really sure about this but have it a go.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylercho:
thx i can get into fast boot ill give it a try
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylercho:
no success i think there may be some serious problems with the phone since it got dropped in salt water ill wait for boss to unlock it so i can see if it works... well thx for trying to help guys

Still do not have it unlocked boss is comming in may.. wish I could unlock this thing

Simply put, a professional is someone who is paid for what they do. Best not to confuse that with competent, they can be mutually exclusive. And of course , the definition of an "expert" is someone who knows more and more, about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing. ;-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
I know I'm noobish so I apologize in advance if this question is dumb.

My phone is rooted and has sprintlovers 2.2 ROM, I wanted HDMI to work on my phone as it didn't with stock kernel so I tried netarchys newest offering something like 4.3.4 no HAVS no static UV. This kernel hated my phone. It was very slow both in feeling and in benchmark testing.

Then I downloaded teamwins offering for HDMI acceleration something along the lines of poonsense. This works great on my phone and also now hdmi app works.

Kernel I have now is listed as 2.6.32.16-poonsense-gaea76be-dirtyagrebren@dogbert # 17

What I want is the kernel I have now with the ability to overclock. I use the 1-1-1 Power Management System (see signature) so my phone is never on the charger and I don't need extra battery life so I'm more concerned with performance but would prefer if battery life was only minimally affected.

Anyone have any suggestions on a sense kernel that is near stock but has HDMI acceleration support and overclocking both in one? I looked around but was not having luck. Thanks- Brandon
