[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Try it via fastboot.

1.Download the desired recovery .img file from the site.

2. Download android SDK from official site, and run SDK Manager. When it is running, then install the platform-tools (revision 3 ATM), too.

3. Copy the file (.img) you downloaded into the android SDK folder, where fastboot.exe is located.

4. Reboot your phone into fastboot (holding down BACK+POWER keys when the phone is switched off) - it should show FASTBOOT USB.

4a. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed (for me HTC sync is not needed, i used the UNREVOKED USB drivers instead)

5. Fastboot flash. navigate to your android SDK directory in Command Promt (CMD.EXE) then run these commands:

a, fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod2518.img (or whatever is the name of the file)

b, fastboot reboot-bootloader

c, fastboot erase cache

6. You have now the recovery installed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You don't have to have access to the recovery to flash anything that uses fastboot. For fastboot do what davebugyi said, if you want to use the Android Flasher, just boot into the rom or even better, boot into the bootloader. It works a charm. Fastboot has never worked for me for some weird reason, never have gotten it to work but the Android Flasher works.

[HD2 General] yugoport:
Like title says, I Sold my Samsung omnia, I stop using it when I purchased my hd2, now I need another phone because I have 2 sim cards, I still don't know what to get, I'm testing right now a Nokia n97, I always liked Nokia, but I must say after using Android in my hd2 I can't use that phone... what a ****y phone.. so I'm trying to decide what to get..

One of the options could be using my hd2 with 2 sim cards and waiting for something like the atrix ( the 2 dockings amazes me), other is to get another hd2, but I don't know if something with a front camera to videoconferencing and tv out could be useful.. opinions needed..
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Get another HD2. When my old HD2 broke, I just bought a new one(it's always better to have a spare one...). I know there are some new, some-say better phones out now. But is there another phone that can run both, Windows Mobile and Android? :)
[HD2 General] pappt:
Another HD2, nothing else...it's cheaper as gets old, but it's like a good wine
[HD2 General] xabhi:
rather wait for galaxy s2.:D
[HD2 General] yugoport:
Thank you guys,if galaxy s2 had a docking like the matrix I would buy it for sure..it has some good specs though..
[HD2 General] retsam88:
HD2 for sure. I think it is the best HTC phone ever produced to this day. You can run almost every mobile OS with great speed. Not to mention Windows or ubuntu..
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Just wondering why you need the lappie dock for? The only things you can do with it is edit documents, browse the web, play music/videos, all whilst it running relatively slow. The web videos are choppy, the videos are choppy, plus .mkv files are a no go, documents load slowly and the same with websites, the touchpad isn't multi touch. So what advantage is there other than showing off and charging your phone. It's hell expensive also. To top all of it off, the phone's bootloader is locked, so no real custom roms.

Now I may be biased due to the fact I prefer the sgs 2, but the sgs 2 will come with a dock also, just not a lappie dock since they'd have to make a new OS or UI for the phone to function on the lappie.
[HD2 General] yugoport:
I travel a lot, and to have the opportunity of having a laptop and a phone in 1 should be very nice, but I would have to carry the dock too, so its almost the same, I didn't know that the dock was so limited, let's see, for now Im using my Hd2 and my n97, that has a great feature, the WiFi tether isn't recognized by my Android as a adhoc connection but as hotspot, so I can have internet in my n97 and share it to my pc and HD2,.. I probably will get another HD2, I'm on the market now for a TMOUS Hd2..

Hey, I just install the CM7...39full night version...

and I found a problem...is that whenever I enter a website address in the explorer,

the explorer will redirect it to the mobile version...

for example, I enter the www.cnn.com. it will redirect me to the m.cnn.com

it seem that the website consider my gtablet as a mobile phone,

how to change it? I just want to view the webpage in the normal way!

thanks!

Hi savage0

Go to the browser setting and change the UA (User Agent) string to desktop then you will get full web site. Or you can download Dolphin HD or Miren they easy setting for the UA string also.

Hi,

I've been trying to do this myself but I can't find one labeled just "Desktop", there is "Linux Desktop", "Mac Desktop", and "IE6"

I've tried "IE6" (closest I thought to Windows) but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] savage0:
yes, I found that there is only "android" "Frpyo" "Eclair" "Linux Desktop" "Mac Desktop" "Iphone" in the setting of "user agent" (now the default is "android" which will redirect the website to the mobile version)

I also tried to found the option which only marked by "desktop", but there isn't...

so I tried the Linux Desktop, it is OK...

but I don't what is the different between them
[G Tablet General] pgonza02:
I tried it and it worked, was really trying to use it to go to the full version of the Google Reader page...but...there seems to be a scrolling problem with that page. But I guess I will use it for everything else.

Well you don't specify anything so what else is anyone supposed to say. Has it always been like this? If not when did it start? Are you rooted? If so what rom are you running? What kernel are you running?

You can't complain about a problem and just magically expect a fix, provide information and people can help you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessel0001:
The OP is talking about the dual microphones on the device. These as we know are intended to reduce background noise while on a call, unfortunately they work all the time, essentially canceling out almost all sound when recording video with the stock camcorder. HTC has recognized this as an issue and has stated that a fix will pushed out. As of yet I have not heard of any updates being pushed.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
It would also be helpful, if you used a little bit more correct grammer (putting punctuation between each sentence) as much as possible. Some of us, can't understand what you're talking about. This isn't FB or an sms

Also, it would help. if you said exactly what you did, and how you got into this situation. Ie; flashes, etc.

For example, are you rooted? Were you trying to flash a custom ROM?

htc stuck on boot up

The phone just hangs on the white htc screen.and wont go into recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
First of all, you have a desire. Before running any update, you need to create a Gold Card. It's not specific to "all" desires. But, better safe than sorry.

http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card

To boot into recovery the manual way, turn phone off.

Hold volume down, and press the power button.

This should boot to recovery.

If you get the Triangle, with exclamation mark,

press Vol Up + Power

This will bring you to another recovery menu where you can : Reboot , Flash from sd , Wipe Data/factory ,Wipe Cache

If you can recover the system, I highly suggest creating the Gold Card.

And one more note, if you decide to flash to a stock RUU, I highly recommend wiping all cache memories before flashing. Yeah, I know they will tell you that it's not necessary, but hey, I believe in overkill.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavstan79:
htc stuck on boot up

That's the thing it wont go into recovery, I can go into boot loader and fast boot but when i press up and power it goes back to the htc screen and hangs there again, i have tried a ruu which seemed to be successfull but it still hangs on the htc screen and will go no further.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
If you can't get into any type of recovery, just how are you able to flash?

Bear with my stupidity here.

Without a menu system in any type of recovery, I am at a loss.

However, I have heard, that, some people put their phones in the freezer for several minutes. And that the phone would boot. Enogh where they col=uld goto recovery, and fix what they messed up.

Now, I would suspect it;s because the processor was overheating during boot. Probably because cache memories weren't wiped before flashing, and crap got all messed up.

Normally, I would never suggest this. And you do this at your own risk. So if it's messed up beyond repair, please, do not blame me,

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
The freezer thing, is a last ditch effort. And it is only a temporary thing. 15 minutes max. Maybe enough to allow you to clear caches and flash.

[Defy General] laperlenoire:
I rooted my defy firware 2.1 and now it keeps rebooting everytime I run an app which uses gps.

Help please.
[Defy General] pabx:
Does this also happen if you turn the *data* connections off?

The Defy 2.1 firmware has a known bug that will cause it to reboot if:

- The Signal is weak

- AND it tries to do data transfer at the same time.

So GPS itself might not be the problem, but the application (like google maps) doing data transfer while you are in a spot with a bad mobile signal.

This bug can be *really* annoying (in fact: I had my defy reboot twice within the first hour) and people suggest to install 'Shutupbatterysaver' to fix the problem (See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956659).

Another way to fix it is to upgrade to one of the 2.2 SBFs (that's what i did). I'm running the -155 ROM and it has been much more stabler than the 2.1-stock version.
[Defy General] laperlenoire:

so here is the deal. did s-off today, had a FAT32+ EXT4 on my sdcard. i tried to install rcmixS (cm7 hboot) but i got a bootloop. so i read it might help to format ext4 to ext3, and there was a flashable .zip that was supposed to do it. flashed the zip and after that my EXT partition no longer works (not even in gparted - like it wasnt there, 1gb of storage just isnt visible) and my FAT32 works only in windows... if i enable usb mass storage in CWM 2.5.1.8 i can copy files to SD but then in recovery it says 'no files found' when i want to flash a rom.

so i took my second SD card, it worked in CWM, so i ran gparted and did FAT32+EXT3 (no .zip's this time) and the same thing happend, but this time i can still see EXT3 in gparted, formatted it back to FAT32 but still windows can see it but not the recovery...

gosh help me please :<
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Flash a newer recovery, might stop this issue. Also, recovery is gay and soemtimes files don't appear for me so I just reboot the recovery. If you want a quick fix for the partitions, just boot into your rom you have installed, go to Settings > Storage > Erase SD. It will wipe the lot and just put it all to a single FAT32 partition. You will need to format again but at least if partitions go missing, you can do this and you just partition it again.
