[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deino:
2 days ago the SD card, that came with my Desire died. It was a 4 GB Class 2 Sandisk, so it wasn't really the best of the best, but it never really felt sluggish, or anything. It had a 512 mb ext 4 partition, and I used it with MIUI XJ X-Part ROMs. It was quite fast, so there was really nothing to complain about. But it died horribly. Couldn't reformat, it looked like it only has 30 mb space, tried just about every solution google and xda had to offer, nothing helped.

So, I decided to buy a bit bigger, better one. Yesterday I bought an 8 GB Kingston, class 4. I figured, that it would be slightly better, since it supposed to be faster. I created a 1024 mb ext 4, rest is fat32, so I'd have plenty of space to app2sd+. I made some test with an app named SD Tools, and it says it in fact is a bit faster.

But here's the kicker. The phone is much-much-much slower, in every aspect: the boot takes 3-4 times longer, some of the apps are sluggish and take more time to load than usual, Titanium Backup takes forever to restore the apps, and even it performs the backup (and the restore) in _recovery_ significantly slower. If I delete the ext partition, and format the whole thing to fat, the boot takes the usual time, and as far as I can tell, everything is back to normal.

What could be the problem? Could it be, that I ****ed up something at the partitioning? Maybe the ext partition is too big? I tried modifying the read_ahead settings too, but it didn't really help. I use the newest MIUI XJ XPart (1.4.8). Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I know it doesn't help much, but i bought a 16gb class4 kingston msd card to replace the card that was included with my desire and it seems to also under-perform as you mention.

Subsequently, i have picked up a samsung 8gb class 6 from Play.com for only £12.99 and the performance is awesome. I would highly recommend it for the desire!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
ah, man :( just bought one of these myself and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Reckon it's worth giving it a shot in my phone, seeing if it's actually good enough, or should I send it straight back? What ROM were you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deino:
My boot time got better after a while. I tried every possible combination of a second partition: 512 mb, 1024 mb, ext3, ext4, with or without linux swap. Nothing really helped. Finally I decided to go with 512 mb ext4, a 32 mb linux swap. The first boot was like 10 minutes, but from what I understand, that's to be expected with this kind of ROMs. But even after that it wasn't booting that fast: 2-3 minutes on the HTC splash screen, and then and other 3-4-5 on the ROM's boot animation. (I was actually timing them while watching TV).

But I finally decided to let it go, I accepted that nothing I do can change this, so I started to setup the apps & stuff, and I tought if it's still really slow, then maybe next week I can buy another (different brand, maybe Maxwell) SD.

But. The bastard started to get faster. I noticed that the boot after changing the theme with MIUI theme manager was way to quick. Decided to time it again. It was 4 minutes. That's considered FAST seeing the prev. boot times. I restarted twice, with the same result: 3-4 minutes. I didn't really know what to think. I went out shopping some food, talked with my girlfriend, watched an episode of Bones, etc. Just out of curiosity, couple of hours later I decided to do another boot test. It was just under 2 minutes. What. The. Hell.

Fired up the previously used SD Tools, did 4 tests, just to exclude any "false positive". The reading speed didn't really change, but the writing got faster. Like 2,5-3 times FASTER. Some of the apps still seem to be starting slowly (yes Tweetdeck, I'm talking about you), but it's a LOT better, than it was right after the install. Weird. I know that with A2SD+ ROMS android is copying some stuff to your SD on the first boot and stuff, but it's been like 10 hours since that install... I don't really know what to think.

can i connect a usb modem for galaxy tab wifi p1010
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tocupid:
USB not supported.

you can buy a wireless hotspot that supports USB modem, then connect galaxy tab to the hotspot.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzappe:
Apparently

now you can, it seems that samsung has now an adapter to plug normal usb devices into the TAB family

Look for "galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PL0BEGSTA"

You'll find it in the samsung marketplace

I am new to xda but I think I speak for everyone. We are tired of waiting for asop. We don't want no look alike or no desensed B.S. WE WANT THE REAL THING! $100 WILL BE DONATED TO THE FIRST DEVELOPER TO POST AN ASOP ROM THAT WORKS. WE CAN WAIT FOR CAMERA,WIFI ECT TO BE FIXED. ALSO DEV FOR HIRE. $100 per rom and $50 and upgrade. I use to pay Jaywan to be my personal dev. But he has cancer and can no longer dev for me. Any Dev can contact him to see if I really pay up or not. So if you wanna make some cash PM ME!

[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I don't know if this is a joke or not but it's not funny if it is. Throwing money around just shows how immature and impatient you are.

Also, these Dev's are working their asses off trying to get this to work it's not like they are sitting at home doing nothing. Just let them do their thing and eventually you and all of us will get what we want.
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:

Just wait for CM7 and donate money to them.

They will do the best job for AOSP rom.

It will start off full of bugs, so I am sure you don't want to pay $150 for bugs?

Just be patient and sense is pretty good, I think AOSP is rather boring as it makes all phones look the same.

[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
All of the AOSP ROM devs are waiting for the same thing... working RIL. This has been finalized (according to the CM devs working on the Mecha) but not posted to Git.

No RIL code has been published meaning no AOSP ROMs either.

Patience is key. It will all happen in due time. I am willing to wait a tad extra in exchange for a thorough job on development.
[Thunderbolt General] hogowner:
thanks...but what is the difference between stock phone a rooted rom phone and AOSP?
[Thunderbolt General] theryanguy:
Agreed.
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
google writes the code for android, then releases it to the github repository for anyone, any manufacturer, to pull down, compile, and flash to their device. HTC and companies also take this code, customize it, and sell devices.

AOSP is jsut the pure, unedited, the-way-google-intended, stock android operating system. its what the nexus one and nexus s run. its much better (i think) than sense UI or any other customized manufacturer skin out there. pure, elegant, android goodness.

also, htc sense is closed source. using AOSP version, all the code is there for you to look at, make a change, edit a driver, compile that ROM and flash to your device. you do not have access to HTC sense secret stuff, but AOSP is all open source.
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Besides, if any member of AndIRC is the one who releases, they'll want you to donate to a charity or someone who needs it.

Just do yourself a favor and wait.
[Thunderbolt General] Mrperf3ct:

Guys, this thread shouldn't be flamed or put as a joke, we had a bounty thread for getting the Droid Incredible rooted and other things ported over, that thread eventually reached I think $3k with all the donations pooled into one by all the members donations.

When he speaks for us all by saying what he did in his first post, he may not speak for everyone, like the Anti-Sense Union that glorifies the ugly AOSP UI, but alot of us like Sense, so don't be hating on something you don't like, we all have our flavors, some of us like CM7, some of us like Sense, and sadly lol some of us actually like Blur.

Sense has come a longggg way since it was first introduced on Android with the HTC Hero

Very true .. to each their own .. before the thunderbolt I didn't like any of those versions of sense .. actually hated it .. but I like this version of sense .. can't wait to see what 3.0 brings

[Touch HD General] xenocit:
Hello,

Today I found my old broken (digitizer not working) touch HD sleeping in a dusty box... and I kind of felt sad for it.

All the hardware on the phone is working just fine except for the touch pannel :(

So I was thinking, is it possible to make some good use of it without investing any money for repair (it's just not worth it, as I have the brilliant HD2 since the day it got realeased)?

Having a non-working digitizer doesn't leave a lot of options but here is an idea:

Car tracking device? - have it installed in my car, constantly charging from the car battery, listening to GPS and sending coordinates over gsm data to my PC/server.

1. The blackstone have a

GPS

and you can install a simple

data only SIM card

from your provider, allowing your device to connect to a remote server over the internet and send important data - like gps coordinates.

2. It's still possible to install any

custom rom

you like.

3. There is a way to

skip initial touch calibration

screen: make an empty text file and rename it to "

welcome.not

" and place it in the

root ot your sd card

. (Thanks to Chef_Tony for pointing that out!)

4. There is a way to

control the device via PC and a USB cable

: after hard reset your device default usb connection mode will be ActiveSync. Then run the free

MyMobiler

application on the PC and it will automatically install on the usb connected device, allowing you to

fully control it via your PC mouse and keyboard

. (Thanks to Chef_Tony for pointing that out!)

I'm sure that I'm not the first nor the only one that came up with an idea like this, but I couldn't find any topic on it. I also know there are many brilliant developers in XDA that make loads of awesome apps for our HTC devices.

So, any ideas? :D

Shouts to:

Chef_Tony

Best wishes,

Xeno
[Touch HD General] sleby:
new digitizer is about $8.. buy it, fix it at home and sell it for $100:)
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
yes, you can always replace the digitizer and have a fine phone.

but anyways, since your plan seems pretty interesting, here is some basic input to help you:

3. you can bypass the OOBE. all you need to do is, create an empty txt file on your pc, "untitled.txt" and rename it to "Welcome.not", (yes, change the extension to "not") and put it in the root of the sd card, then the welcome wizard should be skipped after a hard reset, and so you don't need to align the screen.

4. after a hard reset, the default option for a usb connection is activesync. then you can run MyMobiler on your pc, it will install on the device automatically and you can control the device on your pc's screen with keyboard and mouse.

so you can still use it for anything you like, if you control it over the pc and preconfigure it to meet your needs.
[Touch HD General] xenocit:
I gave it a shot few months ago and I failed :) The problem was that the digitizer is literally glued to the lcd panel, and detaching it is a REAL pain the butt (I almost broke it). Anyway, after reassembly the new touch screen didn't work and I gave up. I cursed myself later on when I found the topic here in XDA forums that the best way is to buy a digitizer+lcd combo... :o
[Touch HD General] xenocit:
Thank you fine sir for the light on the topic. I'll make sure to add this in the first post :D

Every new idea/info will be of great value reaching the goals of this thread :)
[Touch HD General] xenocit:
Ok, putting a welcome.not file on the root of the sd card did the trick as promised. I conneced the device to my PC via usb and as expected it connected via ActiveSync by default.

Unfortunatelly MyMobiler was unable to install the mobile part of the app automatically - it poped a message on the phone "This program is from an unknown publisher..." and it's now waiting for confirmation to continue the execution of the app... and it's pretty impossible to confirm this with a broken touch pannel :rolleyes:

I believe there is a registry workaround for this, but it should be set by default in a cooked rom? I'm using the latest WWE rom from HTC.com.

It will be great if some good chef could mod this rom and make this annoying message go away :D
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
1. i just had an idea on how to get mymobiler running. i cannot promise, that it'll work, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

having the latest mymobiler on your pc, you see different files there, some of which are named:

remote.exe

remote.exe.40

remote.exe.50

when you connect the device in activesync mode, and set it up for syncing (at least notes or browser favorites, something that does not actually mess with your pim data), you will see the blackstone in "My Computer". entering it, you have the storage home drive and the storage card. by enabling "Show hidden files" and disabling "Hide system files" in your windows explorer, you should be able to access the windows folder of the device. then you can copy the file remote.exe.50 there, rename it to remote.exe (the .40 file is for wm2003, the .50 file for wm5 or greater, but you need to remove the extension to make it executable).

and then, since you cannot make shortcuts yet, copy the file again to \Windows\StartUp\

thereby making it run automaticly, when the device boots. then soft reset, and i am fairly certain, you should be able to run mymobiler.

from there on, you could disable the signature warning for future programs.

EDIT: apparently, the startup folder is victim to the certification warning as well. still i leave this paragraph, as i find it interesting as to how mymobiler works.

2. another idea would be to just flash any cooked rom found here on the forum. all of them have this stupid signature warning disabled and are ready to run mymobiler out of the box.

3. my third idea to get it running is trying to modify the responsible reg key:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a

it is a dword key, where the value '0' is activated warning, and '1' means, the warning is disabled.

in the 2577.zip in the attachment, you will find a reg key, that changes this value and also a cab file to do the same thing.

on a device with an ARM cpu, the folder 2577\ on the storage card will be monitored for autorun.exe and execute it, when the card is inserted. i also packed 3 different autorun.exe files in there, one by me, one by navigon, and one by igo, hoping at least one of them would work with a proper certificate. what you'd need to do, is extract it, and copy it to the storage card, so the path is \Storage Card\2577\Autorun.exe

autorun classic works with the CFG.txt, which is also included and changed to work, as long as your rom is WWE and the storage card is actually named \Storage Card\, if not, edit the path.

until now, i was unable to run it, because the autorun.exe files aren't signed with a trusted certificate either, but i'll give other people time to post ideas, and rethink the thing, maybe i can make it work for you.

still i think, if you are gonna use the device for a few little features, you are not required to use the stock rom, so flashing another rom, which then does not have the certification warning would be the easiest way to go for everyone involved.
[Touch HD General] Konig:
Connect it to your PC and use it as a monitoring tool!

Can come handy when benchmarking.

[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Hi friends,

The IMEI in device info is dissapeared with the latest rom I cook.

(start/settings/system/device information/Phone identity)

I'm digging what it can be but didn't find it yet.

I've looked in the following packages:

* Manila settings

* Settings Improvement

Device info package is standard stock and also is htcutil, htcapplication, appservice.

The rom is 3.14 stock with a combination of Oboe packages.

Anyone has an idea where I should look?

Thanks in advance,

Grtz,

Laurentius26 :)
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Laurentius26, return back stock Settings Improvement to the kitchen.

Or play with the correspondent mui - maybe it works. I was going to play with mui by myself but still did not manage to find time for that

:)

In the stock mui it's line # 1029 in String section - check the IMEI item in original Chinese mui from OBOE
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Thank you very much Andrew.

I will have a play and confirm when it's fixed. :)

Edit; I will translate the mui and attache it when done, it has a lot of new features.

Hopefully not to much for the double sim slot and band.

Edit2; attached the translated mui, it looks good. :)

This is the translated mui for Settings_Improvement_1_0_20183814_0

coming from Chinees Oboe 1.18 stock rom.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
@Andrew,

Translated mui doesn't solve the imei issue.

Swopping the package to HD2 stock package does solve it.

Again, thank you very much. :)
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Laurentius26, thnx for translating the stuff - I will also try to check it tonight!
[Windows Mobile] ypsmav:
Hi guys,

Anyway to show also the serial number?

It's nothing important, just curiosity.

Same solution, use settings improvement from HD2 stock rom, serial shows as well. :)

Hello

I want to use 3G on my Blackstone. I have GBX0A_Full_Bundle on my sd card, rootfs.img, modules and zImage are from g3rm0.

But my 3G works not very often. Sometimes when I reboot Android it works but most time only Edge is working. In earlier android versions it hasn't worked too. I've tried it with enabling mobile networking in WinMob and without, but it's no difference.

WinMob is the original factory-rom.

Do you know the reason?

And sometimes Edge won't work too, thats the moment when I'm getting crazy because then I'm w/out mobile network.

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] gadar:
I dont really know, but maybe it's because 3G wont work at the those place when you are far from the antenna??

I mean 3G that your provider gives wont reach you,then it automaticlly changes to EDGE....And if EDGE wont work then you are faaar faaar from antenna :P :P :P

Thanks
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
Try to log into 3G network before starting Android. Maybe open the browser to make sure the connection is up. Sometimes it helps.
[Touch HD General] Geek12:
I'm sure that 3G works because in WinMob I got HSDPA.

I've activated the 3G-Connection in WinMob and I'm sure it has worked but I still don't get 3G in Android.

HSDPA works for me in GBX0A from 25.3.2011 without any additional changes (even the H icon is in place). Should also work on new FRX06 image but I haven't tested it. You can dial *#*#4636#*#* to see more info about your phone and network.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
I have had my HTC Wildfire for approximately 5 months and never had any problems with it until now.

The keyboard calibration has suddenly changed to the point where I cannot select the item on the screen I am trying to click. It seems to be about one centimeter adrift, but even moving past where I want to click it just will not select what I want eg. in k9 mail I cannot select the email I want only the one below it and when using market place to update an application I click "Update" yet the action it takes is "Uninstall" (directly beneath) It actually isn't possible to update any of my apps now as "Update" cannot be selected.

I've logged a ticket with HTC as it maybe a hardware fault. My phone is rooted and running a custom 2.2 ROM. If it turns out to be a hardware fault and I get the go ahead to take to an HTC repair shop am I going to be told I have no warranty as the device is rooted running a non official ROM ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It does indeed look like a hardware issue (With your digitizer). Anyhow, just try reinstalling a ROM with a full wipe (Probably a stock ROM) to confirm it.

When giving in your phone, just install a RUU and then give it. They won't be able to make out if it was rooted or not, and, when giving it, specifically say to them to not touch the software else you will be get an official 2.2.1 updated phone.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
Thanks for your response. Yes it definitely is a hardware problem, the un-clickable items can be clicked no problem in landscape mode. Basically the first inch down from top to bottom is dead. I already tried previous ROMS and they all exhibit the same behavior.

By RUU you mean return it to original stock ROM ? Presumably I'll have to unroot it also ?

What are HTC like to deal with when it comes to warranty ?? I got my device from T-Mobile free in the UK with 18 month contract tie in -- but currently reside in Thailand. Are HTC likely to ask me to send my device back to T mobile in the UK or just repair it at a local HTC repair centre here? If the former I'm going to be without the device for 3 weeks or so -- worse still they may send me brand new unit which is neutered and non-rootable (yet).
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Flashing an RUU will automatically remove root. So, if you flash an Eclair RUU, you will get an Unrooted Phone with HBoot 0.80x but if you flash a Froyo RUU, you will get the unrootable HBoot 1.01x. RUUs can be found here:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows%20mobile&model=Buzz

The conditions of the repair centres depends on place to place. Whereas in some places, they are pretty helpful and work as per your preferences, some places are extremely particular and over-organized. In your case, I *think* the local HTC Service centre will not repair your device under warranty, since it is from T-Mob. But, if you pay for it, they probably may. Again, what I said above is just my presumption. If you are lucky, they may repair your device for free under warranty.

Good Luck
