[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
So I have been for the past week, at my house, having about the worst 4G reception ever. It shows 4G in the status bar, until I actually try and connect to any internet service, and then it disappears. Well this started on my second Thunderbolt, so I assumed something was up with the phone, specially since I unrooted the phone, and the issue was still there. So I went and exchanged my phone today. I noticed that the issue remained. Brand new phone, at my place of work today was pulling 20+ down from speedtest and then I go home, and even outside my house, it is loosing 4G everytime you try to do anything on the internet.

I noticed only one difference. My PRL changed from 15008 to 15011.

So figuring my new phone is probably fine from a HW standpoint, I went ahead and rooted this phone, and I noticed something weird. Everytime I boot the phone, it switched between two PRLs. It either has a PRL of 1, and then reboot and it then will have a PRL of 15011. Rinse and repeat.

I also noticed that in the same location that it used to be signal strength was around -82Db, and is now closer to -95Db.

So I am going to call Verizon tomorrow, and see if they know if a tower is down, etc, or see if they can check into it, as my phone is only usable at home on 3G, which is the same reason I paid my ETF on sprint and left for verizon, because I could get LTE in my house.

I even tried Das BAMF 1.5 and then flashed the radio update, and there was zero change in anyway.

I am going to assume there is a screwy tower nearby that is causing my problem, but if anyone has any suggestions let me know!
[Thunderbolt General] tcfrombn:
my phone acts the same way around my apartment...

i think they must be messing with the towers still. specially cause we haven't officially got 4g here yet.
[Thunderbolt General] mikalem:
have the same problem up in Northwest Columbus - 4G has been going in and out for the last two days for me - figured it was just the tower, 3G is absolutely fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaStalker:
Hiya i wanted to root and CWM my new desire HD so i followed this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076

Everything went fine and i got CWM up and running and installed MIUI but didnt like it so i wanted to go CM7 but i accidently went to the first sort of recovery mode (the one with the android on skateboards =)

http://www.nexus-lab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/desire-hboot.jpg )

So it automatically started to install the HTC android 2.2 Ver 1.32.405.6

that went all fine but now all the apps keep automatically crashing but the worst bit is i cant seem to be able to access the recovery mode or CWM no matter how i press the volume buttons during start up i know the volume buttons work fine as they change volume etc but when i press them at start up its as if the phone ignores them and just countines to turn the phone on normally...

Im new to the desire hd but i do have experience from CWM from Dell Streak days...

Any help appreciated...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Power off phone.

HOLD vol dn, & then press Pwr On button once (Don't release vol dn until have Bootloader menu (HBOOT).

Use vol key to go to highlight Recovery, press pwr button once

Should boot into CWM Recovery (mine shows the HTC logo for a few secs first), if it's installed properly

Edit: If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update. NO.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaStalker:
Ive tried this but no matter how i press the vol dwn button it refuses to go into recovery mode and just boots up into normal sense...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You say all apps keep crashing,..........

If ROM Manager doesn't crash, you can "Reboot into Recovery" from there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaStalker:
Hold on im getting something...

i can access the recovery bit but when i highlight the recovery button it gives me a red esclamation mark

so i ran a factory reset and the apps seem to be working for the moment

but still the red esclamation mark

i assume CWM didnt install properly then? but the rom manager says its installed fine but when i click on the boot into CWM it gives me the same symbol?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zulmacher:
Hi there,

I think your phone might not be totally powering off, hence that's why you are not able to get into the bootloader [ the one with Android on skateboards :) ]

Try this: Make sure your phone is powering off completely before you try to boot into the bootloader. Go to go into Settings > Applications and uncheck the "FastBoot" option in order for it to power down completely.

Then try the same sequence again. Holding down the Volume Down button while starting up.

See if it works.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
What happens when your in that ! screen, HOLD vol up & press power button once?

Also

You can also try to boot into Bootloader or Recovery via ADB commands.

Enusre USB debugging enabled and fastboot option disabled.

Check adb connection to phone first in CMD (Command prompt) type:

"adb devices"

you should get a serial number of the phone HTxxxxxxxxxx, meaning it can communicate ok

Then try either;

1. "adb reboot recovery"

2. "adb reboot fastboot"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaStalker:
Ive managed to fix it by going to rom manager and installing a previous version of CWM

Thanks all the guys for the help! XDA FTW
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaStalker:
OH just a quick side note if i did every want to just say return everything to normal like how i got the Desire HD you know no CWM or custom roms just with the sense v1.7 how would i do that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Make a CWM recovery of your Setup now, and also keep it on you pc for safe keeping. Never know if the sdcard becomes corrupted or not. Also make a note of which recovery version was made to produce the backup. Some are incompatable when trying to restore you backup with a different version.

If you mean normal, there are a few links around to revert to stock (if that's what you mean), and tools to help make s-on again. By flashing the stock RUU, you will lose root, and it will overwrite the recovery with stock recovery. If you had to made a goldcard prior to rooting, you may require this.

Added info from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

To go back to S-ON:

•Flash stock ROM (RUU)

•Temproot using Visionary

•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)

•Enjoy your factory-state phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zulmacher:
Adding on to what UpInTheAir said, "If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update."

Note:

If u have finished the Downgrading process and u r done with the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, remove it from the SDcard, safekeep it on your PC somewhere (in case your might need it again, maybe).

If you do not remove it, each time that you startup into the bootloader [yes, the one with the Android on skateboards.. Hehe.. :) ], it would automatically scan and if it finds that PD98IMG.zip file, it would begin loading the image to install the 1.32 stock ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
Hi -

I just flashed the latest nightly, and my home / search keys no longer function. I backed up my ROM beforehand, tried to restore - no dice, keys still don't work. Flashed back to the last working build, same issue. Going to install CM 7 final (which I found a bit bugg) and try again.

Things I've done:

Wiped cache

Ran Fix_Permissions

Wiped Data

Still the same thing. Any ideas? This is driving me insane.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
Logs

The Search key on the keyboard doesn't work either. Bout to throw this thing :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
This happens occasionally. I about gave up I was so mad.

It's just a matter of something not installing right when the rom is flashed. All you need to do it flash it again, or until the keys work. Worst case it you would have to do a complete wipe and fresh install but I never had to go that extreme.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
I figured out what caused it - Titanium backup reloading launcher settings. I finally just flashed again, wiped and set everything back up. This was the first time I actually had ROM Manager install the ROM for me. I wanted to see if it would not wipe everything out, which it did. I usually do it manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
this is the reason why I don't use TBM. it's a great idea in theory, but it always causes issues with my settings and apps no matter how careful and selective I am when backing stuff up. I find that half the time I use it to restore data backups it causes such instability that I have to wipe and start from scratch again.. kind of pointless if you ask me.

it is tedious to have to reinstall everything and get your settings back to where they were, but not nearly as bad as it was on the G1. takes me about two hours from a clean slate to get back to normal, which is worth it as far as I'm concerned. :)

these days, I go all out when I switch roms (which is why I don't switch very often) - I even format my sd card every time. some would say it's pointless, some would say it's overkill, but my phone is always extremely responsive and I rarely encounter the majority of the issues that others seem to be plagued by constantly.

I am really wanting to become a developer and build android apps and possibly get into Kernel tweaking, ROMs, etc. What would I need get to learn Java and Coding and such. The closest I've done before is App Inventor.

Books, Web Guides, Even paid books are good suggestions.

I want to give back to XDA :)

It'd be interesting and I got the summer ahead so it's perfect timing to start preparing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pyrator:
my advice, just start trying to have fun and play around. If you make it a very formal approach, IE. taking classes first, reading a ton of books without ever coding, you will lose interest. I would get android programming for dumbies and just start making small stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fowenati:
That sounds good to me, I was thinking about getting a book and just following around with it and like you said. Should I set this all up in OSX or would Windows or Linux be the best environment for this? I have 2 Lappys to use for this :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aitorTheRed:
If you are planning to use Eclipse, you can install it on OSX, linux and windows. I have personally programmed in both windows XP and 7, and linux. I had some minor problems with W7, but nothing I could not fix with a bit of googling ;D

My advice:

Start here

http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html

And go through all the framework topics

You also have sample code (http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=sample) and some basic tutorials (http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=tutorial)

Hope it helps!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fowenati:

Hey everyone,

I've been using CM7 since the stable build was released for the G2 and today my Camera App stopped working and just force closes anytime I try to start or when any other application tries to access it.

I thought maybe this was just a bug, so I backed up, cleared data,cache,dalvik cache,fixed permissions and installed a fresh CM7 and the camera app still didn't work. Then I reverted all the way back to my stock 2.2 and for some reason that's not working either. I thought maybe it was a Kernel problem, so I flashed some fresh ones and some stock ones and still no dice.

What am I missing?! I JUST used the camera earlier today and it was fine, then it just stopped working for some reason. I can still access the Gallery, just not the Camera.

Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks for the help :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
I would think that installing a fresh CM7 would fix it, but since camera is a system app there is a chance that whatever the problem was, it may not have been remedied by the methods you've tried.

did you do a full wipe when you went back to froyo? if not, that would explain why the camera still wasn't working (among other things I imagine)

I've attached the camera.apk from CM7.0.0 stable. try pushing it to /system/app and see if that fixes.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thfoster:
Try switching to an freshly formatted SD. I had the same problem after installing an app called Daily Driver that I used for a time lapse video. I think it corrupted some files on the SD card. I try restoring to a previously good nandroid and it still wouldn't work. Switched out my SD and it works fine now. Hope that helps.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
Hi everyone,

I followed reverendkjr's tutorial to install khalpower's v4 rom onto my phone. His tutorial starts with the miuioptimizedv3 rom first, then builds on it using updates.

Afterwards, I wasn't able to Metamorph anything, so I used ZipThemer to install owq's Gingerbread theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955698), which worked! However, the Dialer did not get themed and remains in a broken MIUI theme (can provide screenshots if you'd like), and I am not sure how to theme it...

I would like the Gingerbread dialer that, if I remember correctly from Metamorphing in 2.1, came after applying owq's Metamorph. Is there any way to accomplish this in the state that I am in?

Cheers!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
Looking at the Morph the only things I see changed are Framework-res.apk & services.jar. (Does the dialer pull graphics from framework-res ?) If it does I would think you could push the default dialer from Dexter's ROM.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
Hey 3rdstring,

While I am trying to improve my android knowledge steadily, I have not tried pushing apks using adb before. Could you tell me how to go about this please? :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
Should have done more research ;)

I found unyaffs, which decompresses nandroid backups, and decompressed the stock 1.3 nandroid. Then I pushed Contacts.apk and Phone.apk into /system/app, and tada it's Gingery :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
My memory failed me. The metamorph doesn't theme the dialer, but I remember the gingerbread dialer from using Khalpower's 'custom' apks from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9784619&postcount=13

I tried pushing Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from his files to a few emulators (eclair and froyo), but they both failed (I wonder if that's the fault of the emulator, not my device.) But then I pushed them to my device, and the apps wouldn't appear in the main menu anymore (also couldn't make any calls). Any other tips?

Dear friends of XDA, I really love HTC brand. But when you spend us$1000 for mobile device, at least U want it work.

HTC said to me, I have to send my phone for service in China, the other side of the world becouse I live in Agrentina.

It is not a cheap phone, what do you mean about HTC service system?

Well it still costs 1000 USD here in Turkey. The desire HD has a lower retail price than the HD2, unbelievable right? Well that's just the way things are in some markets. Here you can get and experia 10 for about 200 dollars less than a hd2. The iphone 4 on the other hand cost 1500 the last time I checked. That is a 600 dollar phone in the US if I'm not mistaken. So some markets have their quirks.....

[HD2 General] yilmaz101:
Well I wish we could but in Turkey we get access to networks with whitelsited devices. Where as in many countries they have blacklists where devices are banned from networks for a variety of reasons, in Turkey we have a whitelist where devices that are allowed netork access are listed. So anytime you have a foreign phone you can only use it for about 1 month before it gets removed from networks, unless you register it. To register you have to either provide proof of purchase from Turkey, or register it using a passaport, within one month of returning from abroad. An individual can only register one device every two years. So even buying a phone cheap abroad is no solution. Also cell phones are retained by customs when they are shipped by mail or parcel. So we either fork over the dough, or buy a phone every other year whenever we travel. I bought a touch pro back in 2009 in Austin for 300 bucks and used that until lastsummer when I had an HD2 brought over from Detroit by relatives. This summmer I may have a lyer brought over or if I go abroad bring over one myself. Otherwise we have to pay anywhere from 50 -100 % premium prices for some devices.

hi guys,

to share the experiece here in my country (sri lanka), a person cant import his own device from overseas. because phones with gps facility are said to be banned in the country. (because of the civil war we had until last year) but if u go out to the market there are all the phones for sale for much higher prices. i phone 4 is around 1200usd. hd2 is around 700usd. it was 1000usd when it first came to the market.

so the only way if u want to buy a phone for the actual price is to get it from another country and bring it back as ur personal phone. (that gps law applies only if the phone arrives by mail!!!!) what i do is buy at ebay, get it delivered to a friend in us who would visit recently. some countries do have useless, outrageous regulations indeed. :mad:

[HD2 General] silkshadow:
I had a problem with my HD2 as well, this is under 1 year after purchase (warranty covered). HTC has a local distributor that takes care of repairs for phones bought locally. However, I took my phone there and they said they are not authorized to repair it since I bought it abroad. They told me they had the part in stock and could fix it easily. I asked if I could just pay them for the repair. They said no they are not authorized to touch my phone. So I called HTC and they told me to send them an email explaining the problem. I did so.

Their first reply was, shall we say, idiotic. They basically didn't read my email and told me to send it to Singapore, but didn't give me an RMA number or any way to track it, no instructions on how to mail it and wanted me to pay S$54 but gave me no instructions on how I was to pay that fee. I replied saying basically the above, then I get a call from my local distributor who tells me they are authorized to do the repair now. I have my phone back and, fingers crossed, its looking good.

Here is where I have an issue with the OP. There is no reason why HTC would tell you to send the phone to China. HTC is a Taiwanese company not Chinese. From Argentina, the worst case scenario is that you send the phone to Taiwan, not China. However, the distribution chain is local. That is if you bought your phone in Argentina, then the local distributor there is responsible for repairs. You should be mad at them for refusing to do the repair (which might be illegal in your country, it is in mine) not necessarily HTC (though there might be plenty of other reasons to be mad at HTC).

If you bought your phone through some grey market importer, which is something we have here as well, then you get a discount in exchange for no warranty. I buy products in HK this way when I am ready to buy and throw it away. For something like a high end phone though, I require warranty support.
