[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waveking9:
Hi,

I have a stock DHD, which has 2.2 via OTA.

I have gone through a lot of forums articles here on xda but am still not sure about the below points:

1) I know that Visionary would not work on my phone unless i downgrade. But I am confused, wouldn't downgrading remove all the fixes and enhancements which came in 2.2.1 over 2.1 android??

2) Is there any other clean and tested way to root my phone apart from Visionary, which does not need me to downgrade?

3) Apart from the Visionary way, is there any existing way to temproot my phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
You're downgrading firmware to a rootable one, you're not going back to 2.1, basically you're still on froyo 2.2. Basically you can't root without downgrading, there is no other way.

If you're planning on running custom roms then you can just flash roms with 2.3 or 2.2.1
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
Yes, downgrading will put you back to software version 1.32, but if you have software version 1.72 or above you will not be able to get root access to your phone.

As soon as you have downgraded, gained permanent root, and optionally gained s-off or eng s-off you will be able to install custom roms of your choice with the newest leaked softare ex Gingerbread.

By my knowledge its no other way to root your DHD, but to follow the very good treads in the developer section.

But the downgrade bit is only a temporary state that you need to do before you install a custom ROM with all the newest features.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waveking9:
But then this means, the there would be no way to keep a backup(nandorid) etc. of my stock/untouched state :(

If something goes wrong, I would be without a backup of my undisturbed original state.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefanic:
As far as I know you need temproot to downgrade, but that is in basic shell so you're still not able to make a nandroid backup...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman777:
I love Voodoo Sound and couldn't imagine my life without such qaulity in listening to music. But why does the Headphone Amp level reset with each reboot? Countless times I have acidently blown my ears and phones with it forgetting to set back the Headphone amp level.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brmayhem:
Do you mean the -30dB reset? If so, it's been fixed in the latest app update (v. 1.0.5)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman777:
Cool...didn't even know that one existed.

I went ahead and bought it. However, upon reboot tonight the headphone amperage still defaulted to -3db and exceeded the Volume limit set at -10db. When I tapped on the headphone amperage only then did it reset itself the Volume limit at -10db. I guess this bug still exists?
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
My phone, camera, and gallery apps are all missing as of right now. What is going on? Should I do a fresh install? Like wipe everything and flash a nightly? This was not happening until the first stable release 7.0.0.0 :(

I would fresh wipe.

Always do with a major new release.

Will do, Ill just have to wipe everything and then reinstall all my apps and such. I dont want to but Ill have too lol
[XPERIA X10 General] a2441918:
Which is the best processor of these?

i) Snapdragon

ii)ARM Cortex A8
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Most likely the Arm because of its gaming score and all that animation stuff. The snapdragon is a beast at CPU speed though. So I guess its opinion of what u want?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Snap dragon = ARM CORTEX A7
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
That's not correct at all
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
Not at all...
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
Snapdragon all the way!! as its pretty much similar to Cortex-A8, but has better performance altogether :)
[XPERIA X10 General] tomh235:
Complicated question....

Which coretex A8 are you taking about? The one in the sgs or droid? And which snapdragon? Depending on the generation/series of chip they are pretty similar.
[XPERIA X10 General] a2441918:
x10i and galaxy s processor
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
The adreno gpu in snapdragon is a dog. The cortex power vr ones are far better. As far as the CPU, it's much the muchness...

[XPERIA X10 General] tomh235:
Consolation summed it up perfectly!
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
Core i7 and the top model of that series.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
So far the most power i have seen in a mobile phone cpu and gpu...

Dualcore cpu. Nvidia tegra2 gpu.

That little tegra chip is severely aggressive.

I love the way it can stream several sources of video at the same time.

Plus the ability for dual view... on a phone.. A phone!

Too awesome.
[XPERIA X10 General] changamangaliay:
Nvidia Tegra
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
tegra isn't the cpu, tegra is a dual core cortex a9
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
these votes make me laugh, the cortex is a much better processor. Hence why androids technology is going towards cortex currently...

The qualcomm stuff is getting outdated quick.

Buying a phone with a qualcomm processor now would be a huge mistake imo
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Depends on which qualcoms you are talking about. The one in arc is outdated. The new ones are right up there.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Many/most newer phones are going to be cortex-based (tegra 2 specifically) due to the better graphical performance for games, etc...
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
It's true.. tegra2 FTW
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Snapdragon = a8 CPU. BUT, the GPU is much crappier. However, if you have a device without a very high Res screen and you don't play games, you won't notice the difference.

Sent from my Atari 600XL using cassette tape and a stamp.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Lol that isn't true at all. a snapdragon is not a cortex a8.....

Snapdragon is made by qualcomm.....
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Scorpion is just similar to Cortex A8.. its not the same
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Exactly, I have no idea where this misconception came from...
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
No ****.... we are talking relative performance here. They are based on same reference arm designs.

Isn't the hummingbird in the Captivate better than the X10s?

I have no idea about processors so can someone clear this up?

Yes it is.

[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
No its not,actually the gpu in captivate(sgx 540) is better then x10(adreno 200),but the processors are equal in performance!!!!

The hummingbird is a cortex a8, and imo is better

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Hello,

My quetion is, how do I change a default app? I want to use power amp, but the built in music player always starts. I tried clearing the cache (even used titanium backup as I have root) but no luck. Im fairly new to android but love this phone over my old iphone :)

Thanks for any help!

Leon
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumercalzone09:
Try going to Settings > Applications. Then click the "All" tab and find music and clear defaults for that program.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Tried it. Same result :( its actually grayed out now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Freeze or uninstall original music app?

Sent from WinBorg 4G using XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumercalzone09:
Are you using a custom launcher? It might be that you just have a shortcut pointing to the default Music player.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
No custom launcher. Im worried if I uninstall that the phone will no longer update. I read on this forum that the update performs a check on apps installed in the system folder. Can anyone confirm this? I would love to uninstall lol.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
The default music player always starts when you do what? Click the music player icon?

Since you have Titanium Backup, look for Music and freeze it. Then reboot your phone. The music icon will be gone in the app drawer and it will be impossible to start the default app. If you ever need it again, unfreeze it with Titanium Backup.

Don't uninstall any system apps with Titanium Backup. As you said, problems might arise when it comes time to update. Freezing is fine because you can unfreeze.

If you're talking about the music icon on the home screens, press and hold the icon, you should be able to change what app it opens.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
As an example, if I manually click on an mp3 I want poweramp to open but the default does. If I double tap home, the default player opens etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Lol now it says unable to open filetype after I froze the music app....WTF
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
Weird, so you're talking about clicking in an mp3 from the Files app right? For me it was also defaulting to Music. After I went to Application Settings and cleared defaults for Music, when I clicked on an mp3 again it popped up a dialog asking whether I wanted to open Doubletwist or Music.

Don't you get that choice?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Negative. I know, very strange
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
Maybe it's a problem with Poweramp not properly broadcasting itself as a music player. I just realized I have Cubed on my system and it didn't offer that as an option either. Maybe test it out using another app? Doubletwist works for sure. Use the demo to test whether it's an app problem or something else?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
I just looked up some directions online, and someone, who also used PowerAmp, said they simply cleared the default and force closed the stock music app, then in the file manager clicked on an mp3 and the phone asked them to select a music player to use... None of my apps have the default selected currently, but I also can't make PowerAmp open when I select an mp3. Weird...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Lol I just installed doubletwist and it now auto launches this instead of poweramp. I reinstalled poweramp, same result. Funny thing is when poweramp is the only player, the icons next to mp3s match poweramp yet it still says unable to open file type..... WTF is going on???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
I think it just sounds like a problem with PowerAmp then...I remember being able to see the Poweramp logo next to my mp3's in the file app, but the guy a few posts above said he had that and it still didn't work. But either way, when I want to listen to music I don't usually open the file app and go look for the mp3 files on my SD card anyway so...so maybe it doesn't matter. Unless maybe the auto headset settings get screwed up if Poweramp isn't default?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonredbone:
Yeah I had the icon but it just doesn't want to load poweramp. My problem is that I want poweramp to replace functions such as the music button in car mode instead of having to add another shortcut for example. Or doubletap home....

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
Just for curiosity sake... is that exactly 10, or is that 'we ran out of fingers at 10'? Either way, I doubt anyone will be bumping into a limit with only 10 points anytime soon!

It's exactly 10 max yes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PublicJohnDoe:
I think I remember an app from an old Youtube video where they could experiment with multi-touch.

Basically, under each of the user's fingers you had a colored circle, and you could drag them here and there. I distinctly remember the guy experimenting with 10 fingers and saying that it worked fine with 10 points of contact.

Dunno, it was probably an internal dev app for showing off early prototypes...

Where is the SD Card slot?

That is the true thin version of 8.9".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
I read that it's hidden behind the black cover. So it won't be easy to shuffle many cards.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sutorcen:
What? The black cover is removable? Ain't that a bad design decision? I mean how hard was to fit the SD slot on one side? Do we have a confirmation somehow that the 10.1 and the 8.9 will indeed have the SD slot after all and which models?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
As thin as the tablet is, I can't imagine they could have possibly made it removable. Pretty sure if you don't see a slot on the outside, then it doesn't have one.

It is possible the SD slot is inside the SIM card slot, like the Xoom did. But back at CTIA the 10.1 was shown with separate SIM and SD slots. So I don't think anyone really knows what the final product is going to have.

Sadly I was hoping the details were going to come out tomorrow, but Samsung mysteriously cancelled the scheduled event. So... guess we'll find out someday.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
As I posted on other thread, I think we should this SD card let go ...

SD card solution will not come from Google on Honeycomb:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075363&highlight=sd+card

It will most probably come on Ice Cream Sandwich where both phone and tablet OS merged into one. That ICS must support current phone feature which has SD Card.

But manufacturers can add SD card support by them self. Hope this kind of "own-solution" does not delay upgrade to ICS when it is available!

So, I can imagine Samsung does not want to add SD Card port, not it's own solution. Like Xoom, until now it has non-functioning slot!

Most probably, the scenario will be like this:

- ICS is released

- Nexus tablet is announced

- Samsung "SUPER" Galaxy Tab 10.1 with ICS, Super Amoled Plus, SD-card ... bla bla :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
I had my Evo since launch day - 002 model and today my power button started acting extremely fishy. I am running CM7 and also decided to update to the leaked 2.15.00.04.08 beta radio a week ago or so.

Pressing the button while the screen was off would turn it on and wake it no problem. However, touching the power button while the screen was on, to turn it off, started to randomly become buggy. 1 out of 10 times the screen might turn off, sometimes the "Phone Option" screen would come up just by simply quickly pressing it, and sometimes nothing at ALL would happen.

I thought it was a CM7 issue, but when I held the volume down/power button to get into bootloader from a totally off state, once in boot loader screen I was

*not* able to move around with volume up and down. I had to touch the power button first on the Fastboot option, let it search for images, then when done the volume up/down buttons started working again.

I thought for sure my power button was all sorts of messed up at this point because I figured there was no way it would be a ROM problem when I was having trouble navigating throught the bootloader screen, as well as recovery screen.

Just as I was doing some research on how to RUU and unroot it to bring it into the sprint store, I figure I'd do the all in one Radio, Wimax, NV, and PRI update just to revert the radio back to the 2.15.00.11.19 version.

Low and behold, no more power button acting up issues at all. I am now able to navigate fine through bootloader and recovery without having to do anything fancy. I thought it was VERY weird this happened a week or so after I flashed the radio.

It may be a coincidence that a fresh radio flash fixed a kink or bug, and it may have nothing to do with the radio, however I am not going back to the april radio now to find out.

So here it is: If you are on the new 2.15.00.04.08 and start noticing weird power button issues, I would try reflashing back to the 11.19 radio, or running the All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV by Calkulin. It just might fix your problem like it did mine!

I will continue to monitor this incase something acts up again. I only have about a month or so left on my 1 year warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
I was using CM7 but I have a feeling that was not the problem... after some time I am now having the power button problem again. I just switched back to Froyo and now mysteriously the power button works fine again.

I'm so confused at this point... Maybe AOSP or CM7 is more "power button sensitive". I do have a feeling my power button is on the way out. Is there a way to fix it by opening the phone up? I'm on the verge of taking my chances rather than paying $35 to have sprint replace it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickbird144:
I've noticed my power button to be on the weak side as well with AOSP roms, Miui in particular. Never had the problem with any other ROM however.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolwil:
High pressure air worked for me. (No need to open the phone)

I used a high pressure air gun to blow out around the button and it instantly was better...I assume I have accumulated a bunch of goodies under that button over time and it just needed a dusting. Hope this helps.
