[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
You can't draw a conclusion from just touching the phone!

1. Wi-fi drop is an issue but only if you have stock rom and cover the back, speaker part.

2. I haven't managed to get it to reboot in the first 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, a faulty app forced it to restart. And once, only once, after i ended a phone call(can't imagine why)

3. The screen is perfect sized to still call this thing a PHONE not a mini tablet, haven't found a game not to work. The games run at a specific resolution not a screen size, and atm this has same resolution as DesireHD, and others. You will probably have more issues with HTC Sensation because of newer, bigger resolution.

If you get your phone S-Off and rooted there are a few cool roms on the development section of this forum, that have fixed the wi-fi drop.
[HTC Desire S] anndrenaline:
is the wifi drop a major issue or something that can be swept aside? so there are other roms beside the stock one?
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
The wifi is almost not an issue. If it randomly reboots or drains battery, it's just some app fault. No problems with games too.

You can check out other roms in the development section.

Just get it bro. Original set. You won't regret it. :)
[HTC Desire S] anndrenaline:
if the wifi isnt such a major issue then that helps. haha i cant get original set. is ap considered bad here btw? are u using the maxis package one?
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Original but untied to Maxis. But still using Maxis anyway. I actually bought it from lowyat forum from a trusted seller before it's even out in Melaka. :P

AP is ok too. Just for me, it gives a peace of mine with ori set warranty. :)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Using Orange branded DS here in UK. No issues regarding wifi, which is great at home or using hotspots in town. Also absolutely no issues with rebooting. This has never happened to me, unless of course I have told the phone to do it :D

Screen size is excellent for me, responsiveness is good too from the os.

Personally I find Sense good to use. I'm finding it hard to fill up 7 homescreens, and don't actually understand why people want to install other 3rd party replacements that don't add much functionality and just add another layer on top of what's already there!

Peace guys :D

Hi, i just compiled a ginger aosp for my lg p990 and it stucks at manuf. logo.

No problem to back to a working system, but the questions is:

- if my boot dies without any info, how can i debug the problem ?

Thank's :)

Have you done a logcat of your phone as it boots? If not open a terminal and issue 'adb logcat' without the quotations and then boot the phone. To end the output push ctrl+C and look over issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer314:
really thank's for this useful reply, but i get no messages from logcat. Restoring a nandroid backup, logcat starts to work just before the animated manufacter bootloader.

Any other change ?

Try using a different kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
Check the recovery log after you flash it and before you reboot. Sometimes you'll see errors that were not reported during the flashing process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
yeah, also have you edited the ramdisk and such if you are porting from another device, if adb doesn't work this is a likely problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer314:
ClockworkMod use flash logs too ?!

Really Thank's
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
Yes, use adb to find it usually under /cache or /tmp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer314:
Ok, in the cache direcotry there is the log file and it seems to be the only strange entry

In the dmesg insteated i found

Are these messages boot-stop erros ?

Thank's!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickyGoldsmith:
I ran into the same problem. I am happy to say that I was able to overcome the problem. You need to configure the init that is shipped on your OS and instruct it to start adbd quick. That's it. It just worked a charm. :laugh:

Hi,

Would anyone be willing to post the entire procedure required to install RCMixS V07 and the camera patch ?

I have a rooted phone, unbranded. It is S-ON, 4 Gig Class 6 SD card. This would help a lot of newbies. Thank you.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Check out this link. Most people here already know all of this, but to those of you who are new to rooting, take a look.

[Droid 2 General] floobmonsrake:
Yeah, for some people the risk of messing it up out weighs the benefits. For many, if they can't figure out how to root, it will be unlikely they will be able to use a rooted phone to its full potential.
[Droid 2 General] JeezyMT3G:
Agreed 100%
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
If a person doesn't know what it means to extract a ZIP file, they shouldn't try to root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blades:
I am amazed at how little turned up when searching for a replacement led (camera flash) for this phone. Heh, minus less concise searches like HTC g2 flash.

So anyways, it's dead. I'd like to replace it, any idea where I can get the part? Seems like finding the part will be harder than replacing it. Yikes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blades:
Btw.. my flash had been occasionally turning a light bluish-purple color, akin to turning up the color temp prior to this. It then went out like a light bulb.. turn on for a split second... (then obviously off) only to never turn on again. Just a heads up for anyone noticing the same behavior.. your time with led flash is almost up..

Why do I get the feeling that this is a post that I'll see go down seven pages while **** like 'can I has huneycrumb?' flys past?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
My flash went out a few months ago and I haven't gotten around to ordering a warranty replacement yet. What I find very strange though is that I can turn it on through the camcorder. No other app is able to turn it on, and even then it only lasts for less than 2 minutes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blades:
The camera app may be sending a lower 'power output' (don't know to phrase it) than torch app (even torch on normal mode) you can verify this by comparing modes commanded in your kernel log (dmesg)..

In terminal emu type dmesg | grep flashlight

8 is high power

4 is normal power

0 is off

And aw hell. Why not just launch camera app myself..

Yep.. flashlight mode 1...

I'm betting that vision, glacier, and ace all use the same led flash board.

Nexus one is a no go. I believe we're looking for a L shaped PCB with one flash. Correct me if I am wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z General] unforgiven512:
I can take a picture of the actual flash if anyone needs to see it. I have a fully disassembled G2 close by...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blades:
Yes please! The higher res, the better. Manufacturer markings or part numbers would be a dream - but that's probably not on there. So connector type and other 'identifiers' will be the best bet. Thanks very much.

Where would you start to look for such a part? Just wondering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
If you have warranty... Get it replace.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
Ive always wanted a multicoulered flash that you could change the colour of :p Strobe effect with it changing colours would be awesome ;)

Have you tried contacting HTC, they might either fix it under warranty, or maybe they could get you in contact with their supplier :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blades:
I have insurance. I do not want to swap this phone for some refurbished junk... that and revert all the mods like gfree.

Of course. I could switch the led with the functional led from the replacement.

These are that rare, huh? Leds, that is - jk... kinda.
[G2 and Desire Z General] flinkisme:
I don't know if you still use your G2. My flash died a few days ago and I stumbled across replacement modules on ebay:

[Desire General] Lior84:
So, for almost a year now, I have HTC Desire and for about 6 months run Desire HD rom on it...

Just wondering what will be the best replacement to it in upcoming summer.

From what I saw, nothing really worth to replace for but was I wrong ?

And it need to be GSM... any suggestions will be great.

Thanks

[Desire General] breezing.we:
I think Desire S is a good option
[Desire General] bob1369:
Sensation is worth it desire s is basically the desire with software we've ported and is as fast on data++
[Desire General] mistaliu:
I would wait for one of the new dual core phones. Sounds like there are going to be some badass ones coming out in the last half of 2011.
[Desire General] tommo123:
for me:

dual core,

tegra or better

4.3" or bigger screen (desire is too small for me)

the important ones:

must be rootable and have community support like the desire. can't rely on carriers/manuf to upgrade phone
[Desire General] ali_loly10:
wait for sensation or evo 3d gsm

these are the future because desire/incredible S

came out at a wrong time they won't be upgradeable to sense 3.0 unless by ports thus, their updates will be very limited like our official gingerbread update we're still on sense 1.9 :'(

but i'm running an S rom :)

and i know these will be my replacement phones ;)
[Desire General] Nitin985:
HTC sensation or Evo 3d fits your bill perfectly
[Desire General] rkuijpers:
Definetely going for the Sensation!
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
I will get SGS2. I think Samsung did better job than HTC this year - better hardware in a smaller package.
[Desire General] Lior84:
Thank you all. I think too that desire S is not a proper replacement because it didn't really bring any upgrades so I wait a little bit more.

Not interested in other manufactures since I really like htc.

Lior
[Desire General] tommo123:
in november? i'd imagine that there would be something better out by then.

1080p recording would be decent too and i kinda like the way LG is going
[Desire General] Jasand:
The HTC rep gave me a seek preview of the sensation yesterday at the gadget show and it is sensational, it was a pre release and had an lcd screen instead of the super LED that will be fitted, it also had some pre release software but was super quick with the dual core.

That is my next phone after the desire
[Desire General] Jasand:
Repost deleted
[Desire General] Nitin985:
I should have gone :( lol tickets get sold out to fast
[Desire General] /rant/:
I'd get the HTC Sensation or a variant of it. Once it comes out, it will be the only real upgrade from HTC that we know of, all other phones are kind of on the same level.

That of course, if you want to stay with HTC.
[Desire General] Lior84:
After I saw it's specs, it is lead replacement for me for now.
[Desire General] theliquid:
Same here! My new phone MUST have at least these features :)
[Desire General] vnvman:
I'd go for the Sensation if i had to, but actually i think i'll wait till the first 2ghz dual-core hits the floor ;)
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Why on earth would you want to replace a perfect phone?!
[Desire General] syl0n:
I really wanted to get an Incredible S its a nice size and a nice looking device. But it like the Desire S seems to have lost the HTC DNA with the bootloader now being signed and it being hard to crack. Its out for 2 months and still not rooted. Desire is still better than these devices IMO. Same might be story for sensation :(
[Desire General] COOLBGT:
If i replace my phone now I will change it for probably the new Galaxy by Samsung or the 3d phones that are coming out (but I have to see them first so I can check how the 2d and 3d looks like). Its just that the Samsung has better hardware than the HTC phones that are out now and also a much better camera and display (I am very dissapointed with Desire's camera :( ).

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
belive me, you dornt want this, where galaxo is a excelent custom rom for Galaxy i7500, this rom is based on official i7500 firmware from 2009, its android 1.6 donut. also i7500 is a very different device, and there is CM6 prot semi stable for it (Gaosp Project) and they work atm to port cm7 to it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nikkpap:
we dont want this... we want to unstack from the idiot way of ODIN
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Oh, sorry... so you want drakaz unified recovery ported. Should be possible, but with the same effort like porting clockwork recovery. And clockwork is better developed. Also drakaz recovery is made in two parts, since i7500 has tiny recovery partition there is a mini recovery and a rectools.sh on the sdcard. We don't need that separation....

Edit: also this ultra high energy guy where u found this, only made a tutorial on how to install galaxo, he can't help with porting...

Hello,

After flashing my HTC desire HD with cyanogen 7.0 on the first boot the android market started to download all my apps ! but each time the error pop : 'unsucceful donwload, please try again' (in french :'echec de téléchargement; veuillez réessayer') and it did this for all my 52 apps. I asked google but it is always the same topic old of one year in march 2010 about the bug that android was experiencing with the market. finaly the most interesting part of all this is that i am able to install some apps by using the web android market. it send immediatly the dowload on my device and the install is succesful.

I tried wipe my sd card but i had the DHD sd card issue (solved). And i Tried a data wipe and hard reset using recovery mod but it's unsuccesful !

Could somebody help me please i am quite lost.

Sincerely,

Austriker

PS: i used visionary to permroot my htc
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubofo:
Reinstall the market app itself. I have it on my home pc, will upload later if you can't find it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austriker:
I tried to reinstall google apps by downloading on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps and flashing it in recovery mod . (hard reset, cache wipe and install from a zip). unsuccesful.

And i tried by installing the android market apk found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877330 . unsuccesful.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Try clearing market cache (menu, settings, applications, manage applications, all, market, force stop, clear data/cache.

Then reboot into cwm recovery and clear the dalvik cache.

Reboot, will take a while, but don't worry.

Then try market again.

Do you have a firewall such as droidwall? If so, make sure downloads (i think) has permission through WiFi or 3g of droidwall.

Also, do you have the same problem when using WiFi and 3g?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austriker:
I have no firewall. i have only the basic apps provided by cyanogenmod and th google apps file.

And I tried wifi/3g unsuccesful.

the problem began when i downgraded my firmware the android started to dowload all my apps and it started to crash. and after that downloads started to be unsuccesful.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I would start again,

Try full wipe 1.2 (froyo ROMs) or 1.3 (gb ROMs). If you Google it, will find it in xda.

It will be a zip, and run from cwm recovery same as flashing a Rom or kernel.

Make sure the Rom your going to flash is not corrupted, check md5 checksum. Then flash again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austriker:
ok i will do this. i tried something i dowloaded the cyanogen rom 7.0 and i flashed my phone by the recovery mode. before that i hard reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. i installed the google apps zip. then on reboot i choose to restore my old parameters. android market seems to download all my old apps but there isn't any notification. but on the market apps there is a hudge list of apps and a the bottom there is a small start of apps installed. so maybe it is working.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austriker:
Problem solved !

I went to recovery mode wipe data/cache/dalvik.

flashed Cyanogenmod and google apps.

rebooted and all my apps were dowloaded.

Your apps werer restaured !

Only observation is that lately (last two month) my phone hangs a lot on both systems (droid & win) and overheats a lot and when this happens I need to wait for it to cool down (at least 20 minutes) then it accepts rebooting (I am stating this although I am not sure is it from the droid or just my HW is faulty for other reasons).:confused:

Maybe you can perform a hard reset with buttons

1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it.

2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Ok when you enter bootloader (red green blue screen) you should see "Serial" at the bottom..

When you connect to the computer it should change to "USB"

You might not see anything happen on your computer but the word at the bottom of the bootloader should change.

I might be mistaken here but Im pretty sure you need "2.08 HSPL" although your bootloader shows you have HSPL installed its not 2.08. This might be the cause of your original problem.

Once it says "USB" your ready to flash a ROM via USB as usual...

If it stays on "Serial" after a few minutes then try another USB port or computer if possible.

Enter bootloader and run the HSPL tool and choose 2.08HSPL......

Then start the process from the beggining.

Hope that helps.

Not to intrude on conantroutman here but yes you have to have HSPL 2.08 and a 2.15.50.14 or 2.10.50.02 radio for MAGLDR to work. Without the HSPL 2.08 you can not flash MAGLDR and without the proper radio version MAGLDR will not even boot up.
