[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
True, but most people that get Android tend to know what they are doing, am I not correct? If you have never used Android before, and your phones due an upgrade, surely you would go for an iPhone, due to the ease of use and the general market share the iPhone has. And even if you did go for a top spec Android phone such as the Desire HD, why, just a few months after you have bought it, would you go out and buy a new phone just because if a software update and a few internal changes? As far as I'm concerned, if it is HTC using ways of Marketing, then they will be loosing me as a customer. I've gone from a Desire to a Desire HD on a contract upgrade, I only chose the Desire HD due to the updated sense, and that's gods honest truth, and now, 5 months later, I'm being told that my phones spec doesn't match up to that required of the new update, despite the fact that to-date the DhD is the most powerfules phone on sale in the UK. HTC's gonna loose customers if they keep showing off shiny new things, and not giving it to so-called 'respected customers'.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Yeah I know what you mean, but 5 months is a long time in the technology world. Their marketing will try to convince anybody to upgrade since old stuff is not "good enough".

Desire HD is a SICK phone, I don't really see why to upgrade from it and that's maybe what they are tying to achieve with this marketing?

As you've said, noobs don't usually buy an android and if they do they probably go back to a iphone, so who are they trying to fool?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Thanks for helping confirm what I put, HTC are fooling nobody because I doubt a lot of people are going to get the Sensation despite the beautiful UI. W have already proven it can work on the Desire HD, and your right it is a sick phone! I reckon HTC will eventually release the full 3.0 update, due to demand, but it will be well after the Sensation release.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lokifish Marz:
What is the possibility of a desktop friendly web browser UI? The issue is that there isn't a single browser that offers a HDMI mirroring friendly UI. Opera supposedly has a tablet UI but with no access to it on almost all devices.

Removing/disabling things like textbox zoom, popping in and out of fullscreen mode, the tab/url/button bars disappearing would be ideal. These are things that you don't see in everyday browsing with a desktop browser.

First Image- I've attached a pic of a suggested UI. Having a "desktop/standard UI" button in the drop down menu would be a good idea as well.

Second Image- I've come close by breaking the theme engine on xscope but still have the above mentioned issues.

Third Image- A comparison of the first two vs Firefox 4 Desktop (800x600 cropped to 800x480). When comparing current browser UI's to Firefox it's obvious that a mirroring friendly UI is needed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lokifish Marz:
Does anybody want a "Desktop UI" browser? Web browsing via HDMI mirroring is kinda lousy without one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techronico:
I was thinking if someone could kang the desktop ui from the atrix and port it to the EVO, we could have a similar experience that the atrix community is having now that they can access it through HDMI without moto's expensive dock accessory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lokifish Marz:
The problem is that the Artix runs a whole different frontend when in dock/laptop mode. It even runs a full desktop version of Firefox. As capable as the Evo is, I think this is well beyond even and OC'ed Evo. Hopefully with the Evo Desktop PC guide I put up, the browser request may get more attention.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deathsled:
I have an actual computer for casual web browsing. I have one hooked to my HDTVs and projector as well. Why you would would want to do it from your phone is beyond me, talk about a limited experience...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lokifish Marz:
Limited in what way? I've been using the Evo as a desktop since late Feb. And have come across only two content types that don't work, Silverlight and Divx. Live TV isn't an issue either. Except for updating the FullHDMI website I haven't touched my computer in over a month. I even did the keymap editing for the "Evo Desktop" project on the Evo.

[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
Any news guys about the long waited for 2.3 ??

(Last news was it will be released on the first 1/2 of April)
[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
Awwwwhhhh, by your thread title and the devil avatar - you had me going there that their was some more news on this!

From what I have gathered, the last I heard and saw yesterday was that the network Three UK announced via Twitter that they are going to be rolling out Android 2.3 very shortly for their branded DHD's and that it was still in the testing stages - other rumours and reports suggested that Three UK won't be rolling it out until May time now but nothing has been confirmed.

Most reports suggest that the un-branded users will get the Android 2.3 update first before the branded users - but still, no date has been announced apart from that it was expected sometime in April.

In my opinion though, from what Three UK have announced - I don't think that both the branded & un-branded users won't officially see Android 2.3 at all now until May time or possibly slightly later.

Liam
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
:) my apologies if the title & the avatar are misleading.

hopefully we (branded & unbranded users) all will get it around the same time, unlike the 1.84 which I'm still waiting for, Convinced myself us the unbranded users will never get that update. currently stock with buggy 1.72.

I agree with you Liam, we will get the update much later then the end of April :mad:.
[Desire HD General] dreDrennon1:
I have the inspire 4g which is the same as the desire hd and I am not sure when we are getting the update I rooted and installed the Shokouhi Super Ace rom with the leedroid kernel and now I don't want the update I have tried a few roms but this one has been the best I can overclock to 1804
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
CM7 is already available, for your gingerbread fix and as a plus it will get rid of Sense as well.
[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
No need to appologize for the title, I found it amusing afterwards lol!

If we do get the Gingerbread update very soon then it's likely that we will not see the 1.84 update and I reckon that the Gingerbread update will indeed be the next OTA update.

According to another article I read the other day about the Gingerbread update - Besides the DHD, Gingerbread is also going to be released for the older Desire, Desire Z, The Incredible S & a couple of other models that I can't remember the names of.

Latest news today - Three UK have confirmed that they will be rolling out the Gingerbread update for their branded DHD's in the middle of may;

Liam
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
That's HTC Desire, not Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
Oops - my bad! :/

Surely though, if it's coming to the older Desire - then that means it will definately come to the DHD shortly.

[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
i do not want to root because for some reason i love the sense ui :P
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
I too like the HTC sense , unfortunately we won't get the new one featured on the HTC sensation , well not all the features, this is due to hardware. My source is HTC via tweeter.
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
What I don't understand is why release the 1.84 update for branded DHD's but not the unbranded ones. When clearly branded and unbranded users have been effected by there buggy very buggy 1.73 build.
[Desire HD General] ostheer:
you won't lose the sense ui when you root, that will only occur when you install another (non sense) ROM:)
[Desire HD General] ww2916269:
Once you root, you will get an amazing ROM WORLD
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
ill only root if someone manages to get sense 3.0 into a rom
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
By the time it happen, I'm already on a 2ghz dual core HTC.
[Desire HD General] Hawks556:
Then you'll need to hurry up HTC to release such a phone :p capychimp has got sense 3.0 already running on his DHD. It ofcourse isn't nearly ready yet, but it was leaked only yesterday :rolleyes:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
So I tried rooting my girlfriend's G1 and it didn't workout so well, so now I'm trying to fix it for her (I feel terrible, my poor android friend.. I mean my poor girlfriend!) . I rooted it and it was working find, but I wanted to flash a ROM on there. I tried flashing CM5 following the directions on the wiki. I made sure I installed Amon_Ra's recovery and did a nandroid backup. Then I flashed the DangerSPL. 2 things then happened, when I tried starting up the phone it would just hang on the "G1" startup screen until I pulled the battery, and when I went back into recover it switched back to the old recovery I had after root (JFv1.42). So I can't go back. But when I go into Fastboot, the HBOOT is at 1.33-2005, which indicated the DangerSPL was flashed correctly. So should I flash CM5( or 6 or 7) now? I just don't wanna get the phone to a point where it's unusable (unless it is already) =/ Can you guys help me out?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you can go to hboot, everything should be fine. Check again, that you have a 2.x or 3.x radio installed (should be the case, because otherwise I doubt you would be able to go to hboot).

If this is the case, you can flash what you want. Probably I would flash Amon-RA recovery first

fastboot flash recovery <amon-ra.img>

To be sure, that you have a clean phone, I would do an

fastboot erase system -w

Then you can boot into recovery and flash the ROM you like.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Your girlfriend G1 still fine.

The CM5 that you have flashed is not compatible with the SPL(HBOOT)/radio combination. (to my understanding) That is why it gets stuck at G1 screen (that had happens to me).

For G1, you can only flash up to CM 6.1 (to my knowledge), Cyanogenmod 7 will not (according to the DEV) works on G1.

You can try other ROM, recommending ezGengerbread, or Gingerbread Yoshi, and also my favorite (I am currently using it.) SuperAosp DM 2.8.2.

You will need to use 2708 SP and 13d radio for the newer ROM.

First load the radio, then the SPL. After both have been flashed (you can check it in the fastboot mode) then flash the ROM that you want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
Where do I put in these commands? o.O
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
You have to connect the G1 to the PC and run ADB. Then flash it using the command line indicated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
No, it's not adb, it's fastboot, a different program, but you are right, it's a program that runs on your PC. You have to make sure to have fastboot installed. Then open a command window and enter the commands above having your G1 connected to your PC and beeing in fastboot mode (boot with back + power).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
@ AndDiSa - Sorry for the short explaination, I should have explain in more detail.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
Alright. I'm on Ubuntu so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm gonna install SDK/ADB/Fastboot now :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Have fun. ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
So a problem with flashing amon ra's recovery. My fastboot (or adb) aren't recognizing my G1, but they recognize my EVO, which is strange since they're both HTC..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Hmm, someone post an instruction in one of the forum that I saw yesterday. Not sure which one. It would fix the problem you are having with not see your G1 on ubuntu..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandra setiawan:
You can solved your problem with unroot like me.even my g1 lost function home & call button.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu242:
Hi.

I installed Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 when I was on Android 2.3.1, and I've used it without problems after the upgrades to 2.3.2 and 2.3.3.

Now, for some reason I don't understand, I'm unable to boot the recovery image. I get this on the bootloader:

I've tried reinstalling the recovery from Rom Manager, which says it does it successfully. It still won't start CWM in the recovery img.

ADB and root access works as it should.

What's wrong here?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
Wrong section :|
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandis710:
From general section (allgamer)

NOTES:

It's normal to lose the recovery after the reboot, the steps to flash the CW recovery needs to be repeated every time you want to access the CW recovery.

This is due the build in protection in 2.3

As some one pointed it out on another topic, the good thing about this is that you'll never lose the stock recovery of 2.3, thus minimizing the chance of a bricked phone.

If you want to the CW recovery to remain permanently, you'll need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something thing else

To simplify things with the Command Line, it's best to copy and paste the contents inside ..\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools to ..\android-sdk-windows\tools

that way you'll have all the necessary files in the same location to prevent errors
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheCreator:
I am running the new stable cm7....after reinstalling all of my apps with titanium backup pro almost everything is force closing. Even core apps like browising and messaging. My Widgets also stopped working properly. Going into recovery and fixing permissions and wiping cache is a fix that works for a little bit then the same problems start occuring again. I've re-flashed my rom and same problem. What should I do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
What ROM were you using before? If this is your first install of one of the CM7 ROMs did you do the factory reset/full wipe first? If you had a previous version of CM7 installed and just installed the stable over it were you using a theme that you flashed? Flashing over a themed version of ROM with an upgrade will cause force closings as most themes make changes to the framework. Also with Titanium Backup did you by chance restore any system data? This will also cause force closings as the old system data isn't compatible with the new system data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broons:
If you restored data with Tibu that could definitely be the issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheCreator:
I had cm7 rc1 and I went from that to rc4 before stable I'm almost positive I wiped my memory both times before flashing....I did have a theme when I had rc1 but as I said I wiped it. I did install system data with titanium so maybe that is the problem...what should I do now?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I would try doing a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format /boot, /system/, /data, /cache) then reflash the ROM and restore ONLY apps with TiBu and see if that fixes the FC's.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
Yeah, I've heard restoring system data only causes problems and is highly advised against. I restore apps + data, but just my downloaded apps, not system ones. I don't even back up system apps tbh. Don't exactly see a reason to.

Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheCreator:
Hey guys i really appreciate all the help yall have given me....ill let u know how everything works but im def not installing system data...thanks again :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
If you had RC1 with a flashed theme and only did a wipe of cache and dalvik cache those will not fix the changes to the framework a theme does (does not pertain to the CM themes included with theme chooser). You have to either do a full factory restore/wipe or restore a backup that doesn't have the theme on it. I learned this the hard way using RC3 with the vivid theme. I flashed RC4 over it and I had all these force closings. I then restored a clean backup of RC3 then flashed RC4 again and it worked fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheCreator:
Ya, i did a full facotry wipe along with cache and other things. Also didnt get system data with tibu. So far everything is working as it should (fingers crossed)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smabbage:
Another source for a cascade of force closes is if you let the data/data partition get to full. Happened to me this morning. Usually I don't let my data/data partition get below 14 or 15 Megs but for some reason I let it get to 212 Kb. Everything was force closing. Ran a cache cleaner and uninstalled a couple apps and everything went back to normal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryman0789:
Thank you, ran df -h and found /data/data was full. Cleared some stuff out and now I'm running smooth again!

[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I have a few questions and thought I'd post them for you Android Ninjas to laugh at. Once you get though recognizing my ignorance though, I'd love some education. :)

Why does my phone give me errors that it can't move apps to my SD card (says it is full) when I have 7GB free on it?

I tried installing an app and it told me that there wasn't enough room in SYS to unpack the files. Is this related to #1? How can I give more space to SYS?

Do widgets or live wallpaper consume CPU or battery when the screen is off or the phone is locked? In other words, will a sleeping phone with lots of widgets use more power than one with just static shortcuts on the screen?

Is the Android memory management good enough that you don't need to reboot the device every day or so in order to clear everything out and get optimum performance?

I've played with the rooted stock ROM for the Inspire, Revolution 4, and now CM7. I see the differences between the UI interface. But what is the purpose/benefit in changing kernals?

Every evening at 7pm, I get a blank SMS message notification with no content and no sender name/number. When I click to open it, it launches GO SMS, but there is no corresponding message in my list of messages. What is this and how do I get it to stop?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
3. yes, the more, the more resources and cpu used. livewallpaper uses more than static wallpaper. more widgets, especially ones that update and use data, use resource more than no widgets, etc.

4. android OS is rock solid. i go weeks without reboot. i just went 540 hours on one boot, and that's just the best one that i paid attention to. it goes longer but after 22 days it loses its fun of keeping track.

5. differetn kernels are for different purposes. some are over clocked for performance. some are under volted for longer battery life. its just ways to tweak the phone to get what you want out of it.
