Just experienced a strange problem!!

just flashed to radio 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test and the RIL in the first post.

Starting up the phone and i get all kind of messages saying that processes has stopped. CWM, Maps, Titanium backup and the list goes on. what is going on?

first time flashing a RIL, but i have tried several radios before without any problem?!?

Also tried another Radio+RIL, same problem.

Was OK before flashing RIL!

ROM: Revolution HD 3.6
[Desire HD General] cocchiararo:
maybe its not ril related, but location/service related ?

weird

did you try wiping dalvik cache and rebooting again ?
[Desire HD General] Multisaft7:
hey guys,

why is it only for sense based roms?? And not for CM7??

Can I also use it with 7 or where is the problem?
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Because CM does not support HTC's RILs. The support should come in the future.
[Desire HD General] Multisaft7:
oke but the most of the guys who used cm7 flashed a ril too.... can it be problems?
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
You should only use HM RILs with Sense ROMs!

Dont panic though because G RILs are perfectly fine to use with AOSP ROMs ;)

Swyped using Incredible S and XDA app. ;)
[Desire HD General] Multisaft7:
And where i see the difference between? Because in the OP there only sense, or is it wrong?^^
[Desire HD General] CamoGeko:
Check out this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752 .

Much better to see info on RILs there imo

Its where I got my RIL from too.

Swyped using Incredible S and XDA app. ;)
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
@geko95gek

Could you do something for me? From terminal :

su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

and let me know the output?

I've tried two RIL's and both times I get "HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM (Jan 14 2011,14:56:03)".

Many thanks.
[Desire HD General] danalive:
I'm curious too... I just flashed geko95gek's radio+ril combo and get the reference to xxxxHM RIL not xxxxG.
[Desire HD General] michelD:
Indeed, Cyanogen 7.0.2 comes with HTC-2.2.0014G inside that you can find here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9319586/RIL/HTC-RIL_2.2.0014G.zip

It has definitively a major importance in term of power consumption and general behavior of your communications, and even if the latest radio are extremely efficient, it is impossible to match them perfectly with the correct RILS with the present cyanogen 7 roms (up to now...).

In my personal experience with CM7.0.2, using the original rils 2.2.0014 with new radios (tested with 04.07)will give a very low power consumption but sometimes erratic communication behavior.

CM7.0.2 with new radio and matched rils, will give a perfect behaviour, good signals,aso, but a higher power consumption.

Hi,

I have my rooted htc desire with a custom rom (Oxygen).

I'm not able to change the fonts in /system/fonts. I used adb, but I get error!!

I tried this

> adb remount

> adb push ./DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts

> failed to copy './DroidSans.ttf' to '/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf': Directory not empty

Any advise??
[Desire General] GazaIan:
Try using absolute system.

But ADB thinks you're trying to move the font to a location that points to a file and not a folder, what I would do is

adb remount

adb push [drag the file into the terminal/cmd window, location will appear] /system/fonts/

and you're done.
[Desire General] sahaf525:
It didn't work :(

I got the same error
[Desire General] metalron:
I did not go through all that drama, use an app called type fresh once rooted and i was gold!

just do a search "type fresh app" the first hit has details, sorry cant post links yet :(
[Desire General] sahaf525:
I got this error message:

Error remounting

Could not remount /system

Any way,, I changed the fonts before flashing the rom to my phone & it worked with me

Many Thanks,,, :)
[Desire General] Enhdojo:
I use Font Changer.

It works like a charm!

If that helps. (I have to reboot each time i want to instal a new font and i use oxygen too).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
At some point, I got an error that one of my apps couldn't find a file it pointed to. I went to Astro and discovered that "/sdcard" was inaccessible. So, I rebooted, after which it was accessible again, but all the folders I had added were gone without a trace.

How did this happen? When I plug the phone in to my PC, I usually click to "eject" on the PC before disconnecting the cable (although I don't notice any effect on the phone from the eject action). Should I be doing something on the phone instead?

And in any case, do I have to worry about file structure corruption, or is that something that the phone fixes on its own? This aspect of Android is new to me, so any help would be appreciated! :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
It just happened again!

This started after I installed Go Launcher, but I don't know if that's just a coincidence or not. Right now, I'm not even using it, I installed LauncherPro - and that's my default at the moment.

Does anyone know what's causing me to lose entire folders for no visible reason?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
I'm having this same issue. I tried both Gladiatrix and Gingerblur and it's happened once on each so far. After a reboot, my internal SD will just be cleared out. Apps and such are fine, just anything in Sdcard folder.

Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening? :mad:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
For me, I'm not sure if it happens after a reboot - I have specifically noticed it happen right after unplugging the USB cable. Now, one of the times it might have been after a reboot, I'm just not sure.

If anyone can help shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
I should also note that some of the folders are still there, but everything in them is gone. The folders that remain seem to be ones created by apps (camera's DCIM, dropbox, titanium backup). Folders I created (music, notifications, ringtones) are gone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Yes! That's it, exactly! All folders created by the system, or apps are still there (I can't vouch for the contents, though, since I never checked what was inside them).

But all the folders I created are gone.

Someone's got to know what this is.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
Looks like we are the only two having this issue Haphim, lol.

I've unmounted and formatted my internal SD card from within android. Reloaded everything on it and so far so good. I've rebooted a bunch of times to try and get it to do it again but I can't. Hopefully this fixes it. Will keep you updated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
Just did it again. This time it erased all folders. Again it was after a reboot. Next step is when i get home to sbf back to stock, and either keep it that way or re-root and install custom rom. I'm starting to think it could just be a bad internal sd card.

I bought this phone on ebay. Has anyone ever dealt with trying to get a phone repaired they bought off ebay? Anything i should know?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Well, my phone is brand new, bought from Amazon - so I'm not sure your source is the cause. If you do some searching, you'll see a number of other people have experienced this as well, so it's not limited to just us.

Perhaps we need to contact Motorola, I don't know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
Yea I might contact motorola soon.

I just noticed, in the /mnt directory, I keep getting new folders with the name "usbdisk_1.x". So far I have 1.0-1.7. Is this normal? could it be part of the issue?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? :p
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
update: I sbf'd back to stock. Left it that way for half a day, rebooting a bunch of times. SDcard never wiped. I just installed greyblur a few hours ago and so far so good with that too. Restarted a bunch and no issues yet. Will keep you updated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
That's great news! But that leaves the question on whether the problem is being caused by one of the other apps you had installed (or maybe even the 1.57 update).

I look forward to seeing how this turns out for you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
I suppose it could have been an app. I've be installing all the apps I use as I go. I decided it would be best to not restore apps using titanium.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
I think it's pretty safe to say flashing to stock and starting over fixed this for me. No issues in the past couple days. Rebooting a lot just to be sure. :-D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
You're now running all the same apps you had before?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
Only one I don't think I've installed again yet is Angry Birds lol.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
Update: Phone wiped SD on me again. She's going back to seller on ebay. Hopefully I can find another one decently cheap.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Unless Motorola tells you otherwise, I wouldn't bother, because I don't think swapping the phone will get you anywhere. You and I are not the only ones with this issue.

Unless Motorola tells you it's hardware, then either it's a bug on the O/S, or it's a bug with one (or more) of the apps we're using. And in either of the two latter cases, swapping phones won't make a difference.

Since I'm pretty sure I've seen people complain about this issue with *different* models of Android phones, I'm guessing the problem is not hardware.

For what it's worth, I got rid of Go Launcher, and I haven't seen the problem happen since. It's not a guarantee of course, but prior to that, my internal sdcard was getting wiped at least once a day.

I'd recommend troubleshooting this via the half life method. Uninstall half of your apps and see if the problem re-occurs. If enough time passes that you're certain you're in the clear, re-install half of the apps you uninstalled and test again. Keep doing that until you figure out the culprit.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsaneJester17:
I hope you're wrong, only because I sent mine back and ordered a brand new one. I didn't want to bother trying with Motorola on the first one I bought because I got it on ebay and had a limited window to return it in. If the new one has issues, I'll call them up.
[Nook Color General] macava2620:
Hi guys, first post here, but have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now. I have my NC autonootered with autonooter 3.0, and want to explore things further. What I would like to do is try a sd bootable version of cm7 so if it's not what I need, I can easily go back to what I have currently. I've checked some guides and thought I understaood, but every time I try to set up a sd card with an image and then put in the nook, the nook will not boot with the sd in it. removing the sd card solves the boot problem. I've done wii mods, xbox mods, and dabble in lots of different stuff, but this nook stuff has me baffled. another question i have is I've seen references to things like partition 4 on sd card and am not sure what that implies and if that is where maybe I'm going wrong? Sorry for the long post, and also sorry for asking what has been asked numerous times, but my searches did not yield a solution. please help! :)

Anyone getting issues with Cell Standby taking up most of their battery in the Battery usage stats? 'Battery used by cell radio, Time without a signal 100%' I lost 10% battery in standby mode in 1 day, which seems very high.

How can this be if its wifi only?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Yes, that's odd, you shouldn't be seeing that. My Xoom is a wifi-only unit as well, and there's no reference to a cell radio whereas on the 3G Xoom I tried out there was.

Strange...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonder Strike:
I get it on my Acer. Was wondering if the other wifi tablets from other manufacturers had the same issue. Sounds like Motorola took that service off somehow?

Well I have been using a specsaver glass cloth that's damp or sometimes I use some specsavers glass cleaner. This cleans the screen really well but the screen then does feel as smooth and slippery, its like when you first use the tablet. Is this normal or am I using the wrong technique?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djklmnop:
What I've found to be a proven solution is 50% water and 50% Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol), into a spray bottle. Spray enough to cover the entire surface, without causing drips, then wipe down with a MICROFIBER CLOTH. Do not use any other cloth. Walmart has these clothes in the automotive section for $5 for 8. Works really well.

Personally, I've found 60% water, 40% isopropyl to be slightly better.

God forbid anyone uses Windex :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logichoops:
I found a good little product by Brasso called Gadget Care, when you clean with it a few times the screen cleans much better with just a cloth.

It also stops anti static buildup so is good on monitors and tv's to prevent dust build up.

The best price i found is at hmv uk

[Adam General] kevinr1225:
I have seen many posts about the poor battery life on the ADAM when in heavy/normal use. I have seen very bad battery drain just in standby/sleep on all the roms I have tested (Stock Newest build, edenx, and now CM7). SetCpu currently doesn't support profiles but I wonder if the processor still runs heavily even when in standby.

I should note that i usually turn off WIFI when not in use and also background data sync.

Pixel Qi Wifi.

As usual, after unplugging the device in the morning and not touching it for 8+ hours, it has about 50% battery left and battery history shows Phone Standby using all the battery. I guess these quirks will not be resolved until Honeycomb if ever.
[Adam General] shanti.om:
Which do you mean "cell standby" or "phone idle"? I have the same model and the battery still drains more than expect overnight, but notas much as 50%. Did you apply a fix to remove cell standby?
[Adam General] kevinr1225:
Phone idle is what is reported. Here is a more specific example: on battery power for 10 hours today in standby with wifi off and background sync off and the battey is down to 55%. This is not a huge problem but I dont like to leave it on the charger constantly when not in use.
[Adam General] rolliradi8:
Kill the "phone Idle" <- that's really draining and if you don't use SIP on a WiFi only you can de-install phone and phoneprovider
[Adam General] simno84:
2 other things you could try,

Install from the market:

"autokiller memory optimizer" and

"Juice defender"

They seem to help for me.

or use BEAST ROM 2.2. My ADAM batterie status is after 23 hours on 36%.
[Desire HD General] stephenuk:
I just got an htc desire hd and generally really happy with it. The main gripe tho is why they choose to use a dated codec like 3gp is beyond me with crap 8000khz sound. HD video quality at 720p with dreadfull audio is like putting a ferrari engine in a corsa. Why did they not choose mp4 cd quality 44.1 khz instead of this crap? It's marketed as a multimedia phone with a video format which is, well lets face only compatible with other phones unless you convert it which defeats the whole purpose of having nice prestine hd.
[Desire HD General] Chad_Petree:
we should have an online petition for this! video recording in mp4 with aac audio! :cool:
[Desire HD General] TeroZ:
3rd party recording apps maybe?

Online petition doesn't work anyways.

Sent via psychic transmittion.
[Desire HD General] stephenuk:
Well i sent htc a couple of emails, stating that the audio quality for video is even overshadowed by nokia phones which are 6 years old, why they still use dreadfull audio when literally every other phone on the market from iphones, nokia's sony erricson's all have higher quality audio recording. I find it hard to believe they have done it because of performance issues, most digital camcorders dont have 1ghz processors and they can do it hands down. HTC are still using the same old rubbish low quality audio thats been around on their pda phones since windows mobile 5. It's time to move on, and if its for compatiblity, well how many people send 20 min HD 720p multimedia messages? when no network carriers even support formats or resolutions like that. I think its misleading and false advertising for HTC promoting this phone as having all this great video quality 8mega pixel cam and HD video to completely let us down with zx spectrum like audio quality. What where the HTC designers even thinking is beyond me. Why do they let iphone and nokia, samsung completley walk all over them in the audio department.
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
If ubought this phone now your are doomed... You shoulda have waited for htc sensation... Its much better then htc desire hd...its releasing in 1st week of may.. If you can return it.. I think you should.. And if you want loud sound then there is a topic jyst beliw yours abt sound... try it.. I did and now I have 70% more loud ness in my phone...
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I disagree that the Sensation is way better than the Desire HD. Yes it is an evolution of the DHD, but in terms of user experience the phones are still very similar. I won't be upgrading because i dont really think the Sensation is too much of an upgrade (bar newer processor).

With that said, OP, i think you'll be very happy to know that the new Gingerbread update coming anytime now will have LARGELY improved audio. It will have sampling rate of 44.1 KHz and 128 Kbps bitrate. This is confirmed in the leaked version in the development section, i've seen a recording and the sound is way better.

Now one area i cant argue with however is the loudspeaker on the DHD. It's terrible. Maybe the Sensation is better there.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
First of all 3gp is a container, not a codec. In that container you'll find the same codecs for the audio and video streams like in the mp4 container used by other camcoders - namely h264 for the video and aac for the audio. The poor quality is due to the codec settings used by the application - 8kHz, 32kbps. Why they did that is beyond me. Maybe the frequency response of the microphone is limited to 4kHz and if this is the case, neither Gingerbread, nor Zebra Cake ;) will fix that.
[Desire HD General] stephenuk:
The micropone can record in pristine 44.1khz quality try using tape machine application, the sound quality is fine, also there appears to be 2 microphones on the htc one for phone calls and another for audio recording. Tape machine allows you to select either or, and they both record in good quality, there could even be the possibility of having stereo records if there are 2.
[Desire HD General] Chad_Petree:
still videos in mp4 wouldnt be bad, i hate reconverting them!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Like someone else mentioned, .3gp is only the container, not the codec. So you don't necessarily have to reconvert them, just change the container. Should be much faster that way.

Download this program Avidemux: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

Drag your videos in, on the left leave Video and Audio as is, and only change Format to MP4. Select save video and make sure you type in .mp4 at the end of the filename (otherwise it wont save as a video). You'll notice that it takes only a couple of seconds to change the container and viola you have an mp4 video :D
[Desire HD General] Chad_Petree:
What's wrong with htc? even the new sensation has horrible audio quality, check out this video where they compare the sensation's 1080p recording vs the lg 2x , the guy's voiced sounds high pitched :/
