[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishonen:
Hello everyone,

im in urge need of help. I somehow failed while updating to 2.3 :/

I thought that the update was done since the loading bar went to the right and stood there for a good couple of minutes. So i took the battery out. Now as i turn the phone on i only get to see the htc sign on a white background.

I tried holding the volume down key and the power button at once. I get into the recovery menu or whatever it is called. There i've chosen factory reset: i can see a update screen again. The bar doesnt move from left to right though. After 15 sec the phone resets itself and i can see the htc logo again :(

Recovery only shows me a phone image with a exclamation mark :(

I never installed anything custom on the phone. It is as i bought it from the shop. I initially had 2.2 on it.

Anyone help please :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
I will guess you need to put a ROM file on your SD card and select install file from sd card in recovery. If something went wrong during update you proberly dont have a Android system installed right now.

But if your on stock rom I'm not sure if that will be possibl, but hopefully somebody with more knowledge could answear that...

Good luck
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
If you pulled the battery while it was updating something like the radio, then you have messed it up.

I'd suggest downloading the Gingerbread RUU and trying it again. Sadly you may now lose all the data on you phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishonen:
screw the data ! :(

I just want my phone back :(

If anyone could hit me up with the details how Im supposed to bring back my desire hd to live id be forever grateful!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Click the link in my sig, head to RUUs and download the Gingerbread RUU. Once downloaded, plug you handset into your computer, run the RUU~.exe .

If that fails to work, with the RUU~.exe still running open a search window on your computer and search for "rom.zip", I will be in a hidden temp folder somewhere in your userdata.

Rename this rom.zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and copy to your SDcard. Now turn off your phone, and power on while holding volume down. The bootloader should see the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaningQo:
dont think that this is possible, as he never had a custom revovery à la ClockworkMod installed. So he cant choose which zip to flash.

but i think that andyharney got the solution for this
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishonen:
Damn! I can't find the option to make a e-blowjob but rest assured that if such an option would be there, you'd be the first one to receive it :)

Thanks a lot! It works. I had my doubts as during the whole instalation my phone showed the htc logo on the white background several times(i thought that it got worse), but in the end i got it back runing!:)

So happy! Thanks 1.000.000 times and once again: THANKS!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Which method worked the RUU~.exe or the PD98IMG.zip?
[HTC Sensation] major_otaku:
Longtime winmo user with t-mobile since mda vario so have gotten used to tweaking the registry direct and finding/installing ARM cabs off the internet, but as Android seems to be the way to go i feel now is a good time to take the plunge, so just a few noob questions about android to make me feel at ease :)

#1 Can you save direct from the browser files such as mp3s zips rars etc to be viewed later? having used a friends iPhone i noticed it streamed music and video files rather than a save as option.

#2 Do you have control of the directory structure eg a form of file explorer,so you can rearrange where things are located on your device or card.

#3 given I'm not very likely to mess around with roms and the like, and this phone has htc's sense front end, will I find the migration from the HD2s interface to the sensation easy? i love all the Facebook, YouTube and twitter integration so I'm hoping it will all be there in some form or another.

I realise a lot of this is subjective and rather depends on the individual, but I would appreciate feedback on these less techie issues, as im more likely to base my upgrade on functionality than specification.

cheers!
[HTC Sensation] crazy talk:
1) yes

2) yes (Astro File manager works very well)

3) you shouldnt have a problem making the transition.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I'd like to add in a questions since I'm doing the exact same thing (MDA>Tilt>TP2>HD2).

Is there any way to backup my text messages to my PC & read them from there? I currently use Jeyo Mobile Extender to back up my HD2s texts to Outlook & can read them there.

Also, I use Outlook to sync my calendar & contacts, is it an easy transition from this to using Google? I've seen how you can use the HTC Sync program to sync with Outlook but that doesn't look as easy as using Active Sync/WMDC
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
When I used WinMo/Outlook last (2008), I imported my contacts directly into Google. A search will get you multiple ways I'm sure.

Handcent is widely considered the best replacement SMS client on Android, and it offers some cloud features for SMS.

Alternately, you could port your number to Google Voice or simply use Voice for all of your SMS needs so it's all managed withing the Android app and available on the web.

There are many SMS backup app utilities also.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Ok more questions.

-How easy/hard is it to change the various icons & stuff in Android. I currently use DINIK's custom just about everything on WM6.5 & would like to do something similar in Android.

-Can the camera timestamp pics on the image like in WM?

-If you add a birthday to a Contact & sync does it automatically add it to the Calendar (& put it all the way back to the year) like in WM?

I may have more. Also, sorry OP for hijacking your thread. :(
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
I've never seen a reason to change any of the icons in Android. The stock Android icons are just fine, and Sense might change that. Can't answer that one.

I'm not sure why you'd want to put a timestamp on the actual photo. All of that information is in the EXIF data embedded in the .jpg. My Nexus One has no apparent means of adding the timestamp, but there are many, many camera applications available and I'm sure it's a feature elsewhere. Also, the Sensation might not use the Android camera, and that feature could be present in an HTC camera.

I always did like the birthday thing in WM, and I've not fiddled with it enough to see if that's a feature that has been retained. The stock Android calendar widget is crap, as it's only one event per day, so perhaps Sense and/or a Calendar app, of which there are many, can facilitate this.

(As I said, I've used WM6 in the past, but it's been a while. My Herald with WM6.5 was okay, but the last time I used it as a primary phone was November 2008 on the MDA.)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I understand all the info in in the EXIF data, but I do like having the timestamp so I can see the date of the pic right away.

So the stock Calendar app kinda sucks huh? Hmm I'll have to look in to that when I get this phone. I rely on this app a lot for reminders of birthdays, bills, tasks, etc.

As for the icons, I'm just curious. WMs icons sucked (as everyone knows) so of course everyone wanted them changed. I'd just like to know that the option is there for Android in case I want to do it.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
Fair enough.

The calendar app is decent, and you can set alarms and notifications with ease. One of the greatest things about the Google integration is that your changes done on the device or web are synchronized, which I'm certain you're aware of.

The Calendar widget is my complaint. You can have 10 events happening on a day and it'll only display one of them. Not two, or an indicator that there are more events to be seen. One.

There are other free and paid calendar widgets that make this much less an issue.

Google app icons are, like most things Google, simple and effective.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
ah ok, thanks for the clarification. Sadly WM is the same way but the mod Cookie's Home Tab was able to fix that & let's you decide how many to show. I guess I'll have to find a replacement.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
I'm actually shocked people still use winmo on HD2. Android is a breath of fresh air.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I tried it once, couldn't get the MMS settings to stick & just forgot about it. I like WM6.5 but I'm ready for an OS that still has support for new stuff.

Another question: my girlfriend has the MyTouch4G. I've noticed the screen doesn't turn on when receiving a text message. Is this standard on Android? Is there anyway to fix that?

Also, for the MMS settings on hers, there's no way to choose how to download the pic. With WM on my HD2 it gives you the option of original resolution & other, smaller ones. Is there a way to do that in Android as well?
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
The MT4G has some serious tweaks to it, but the SMS behavior is probably normal. I recommend Hancent again because not only does it wake and notify, but you can send a reply without unlocking the screen, though it does not unlock the device.

MMS saving is pretty much save-what-you-get, which sometimes is not that large. There are also MMS-saving apps.
[HTC Sensation] :
If she is on stock? The stock screen turns on briefly then turns off. The mms setting is weird it took me awhile to find out how to do it. You don't click the picture you click and hold slightly above it and then there is an option to save.
[HTC Sensation] major_otaku:
I'm pretty much a stickler for stock roms. i know, call me old fashioned but I'm probably going to mess about with my HD2 once it isn't my only phone ;)
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Fair play. what got my goat, was windows mobile has been out for a looong time. And it didn't really change much. then iphone came along, with a million quality apps, and nothing really changed with winmo. and then Android came along with a million free apps, and after a while in the UK we got the Marketplace in the UK with, erm about 8 apps, and then they charged you like £20!

After playing with these other phones, as soon as a reliable android rom became available, I gave winmo the 2 fingers. I've used them for 10 years, so have a right to be miffed. But yeah, roms not designed for the device were flakey. and like you I prob won't mess with my next phone.

Was just shocked that people stuck to winmo, with there being an alternative, - unlimited amount of android fun.

Anyone not used these android phones will be blown away with the amount of free useful and gimmicky apps. :)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
it sucks. I'll send her a pic from the HD2 & when she gets it it's been shrunk down a lot. When she sends me a picture it's still fairly big because of the setting on WM.

it's not the saving that I'm worried about, it's the fact that pics that I send her that should be a lot bigger are shrunk down in size. If someone sends me a pic, I want it to be as big as possible & not be messed with before it gets to me.

I agree, I like stock ROMs. The 3.14 ROM is nice & I have it set up perfectly with CHT. I'm going to do the same thing tho with my HD2 once I get the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
There's no good reason to use MMS between you two. Get Dropbox accounts and share a folder. Upload photos there and they're full size and accessible anywhere.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
yeah but there's still a reason to MMS between me & my mother/sister/brother/buddy/friends that don't have Android phones.

Your reasoning is kinda like the reason Apple kept MMS out of the iPhone for so long: they thought it wasn't needed because you can just email it. Sorry but MMS will be around for a bit.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
Oh man, good on you for reminding me of how Apple resisted MMS for so long. Heck, most people forget that the iPhone HAD NO APPS for a year after it was released.
[HTC Sensation] Badwolve1:
@OP

Are you looking about upgrading to the Sensation, or is this about android on the HD2

If it isn't about the sensation, do you mind if I move this to HD2 Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Just curious! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
I tried copying the camera.apk but it didnt work. Could be missing LG framework.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TrekMD:
I saw that this has been pulled and can now be installed on the Evo's. Any chance someone can replicate and make an apk for the TBolt?! :)

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] b00sted:
we need to have gingerbread to run this sadly.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Nikolai2.1:
we should build the htc sense gingerbread rom from source!!!!!!!!

;)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
You don't have to have GB, it just checks your sense version. I'm *attempting* to port it, although I'm not overly talented, so it may be a slow process. I'll let you know if/when it happens. :D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TrekMD:
That's cool. Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
Don't get your hopes up yet. We're missing a lot of required framework. Basically, I'm running it as is, reading logcat errors, and fixing it one step at a time. :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TrekMD:
At least you are trying and that is appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] azturbomini:

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
Nothing on this hmmm?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
I noticed over at android central, they posted that the EVO has the Sense 3.0 lockscreen now. So it can't be that far away from being possible as our phone and EVO are similar.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
Not really, physically yes, hardware wise... Not at all

Plus the evo has ril ... We haven't got it yet so until then don't expect this
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
Baiscally, this is dead in the water until we can get the Sense 2.1 framework. I can get it to load and mostly work, but unfortunately, it breaks WAAAAAYYYY too much other stuff to even be feasible. Once there is a working Gingerbread Sense Kernel, it shouldn't take much though.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TrekMD:
So, patience is the word.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
The one from the EVO works on the newest leak. Get it HERE.

Edit: Apparently deleting and/or renaming the existing one in root explorer will allow it to be installed.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
I just installed like a normal application :P although I ripped the original out first
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
Possibly why mine didn't work. :D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] WorldOfJohnboy:
I want to love this, but it is still missing the "Vibrate/Sound On" slider like the AOSP/Moto unlock.

I need this as I almost always have to quickly silence the ringer when I forget to set it during my meetings :D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
I replaced htclockscreen.com with the file below with rootexplorer, make sure to make the permissions are edited to be the same as the original lockscreen

http://db.tt/Qii3cfG

Don't forget to reboot to apply changes
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Mean Bro Greene:
I can confirm this works
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
can you switch back to the original lock screen?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
Just save the original lockscreen to your SD card and do the exact same thing you did to get the Sense 3.0 lockscreen
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Mean Bro Greene:
Yeah, definitely hold on to the original so you can just swap them out.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
Once you put the 3.0 lockscreen on you wont want to go back
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
I believe I put it in the wrong area. I put it in system/app. Where do I copy it too?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
As far as permissions the first 3 and top middle should be checked
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
so it does go into system/app? I just copied it there and overwrote the previous one.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] manningfan10:
So it works on he new leak but it wont work bamf 1.6.3?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
how does it work? You get all lock screens available? any issues?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] KGBxxx:
Not working here
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
Guys please make sure you make the permissions match the original htclocksreen.apk and make sure you reboot

Pics of permissions in link below

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] David522d:
Can you give us a little write up step by step =)

Or just tell me where to put it and check off some boxes

And how to apply!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
I did everything as stated, and I get the AOSP lockscreen upon booting up. I don't get whats going wrong. I copied into system/app and changed the permissions. Rebooted and got the AOSP lockscreen. Do I need to change the lock screen in bamf toolkit? Right now sense is checked but I still have the AOSP lock screen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
Grab the apk from this Thread.

Mount system as R/W with Root Explorer.

Rename HtcLockScreen.apk --> HtcLockScreen.bak in /system/app

Copy the .apk you downloaded to /system/app

Change the permissions to rw-r--r--

Reboot

The filename is case sensitive.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] David522d:
Try that and let me know!

And how you did it
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
This ONLY works with the new Gingerbread leak.

edit: OP, if you see this, perhaps change the title and update the OP with the instructions?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kyrumo71:
This is for the Gingerbread rom that was leaked today
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dirtyfingers:
That's pretty sweet, I just wish the shortcuts were working for the lockscreen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] shadowpunx:
Confirmed working on lrgb
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
Thats why I couldn't get it working. I'm running das bamf and not the leaked gingerbread. I'll probably wait for a rom of it, I don't trust it fully yet. thanks for the link though, will definitely check this out when I switch over.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
working great on the gingerbread leak. I wish we could set the shortcuts on the lockscreen
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] shadowpunx:
3.0 running lrgb
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nkd:
is there is special trick involoved. I am running the latest leak of gingerbread and I installed the apk from the thread and I restarted and still old lockscreen?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Smok3d:
Replace old lockscreen.apk with the new one, right click and then go to permissions. rw-r--r-- and then save.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nkd:
I did it and I am confused now, I got the AOSP lockscreen after I replaced it, WTF. LOL
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jr313:
Got it working and it looks sick!! hahaha...TB, GB, 4G, 3.0 lockscreen is killn em!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
Are you running the GB leak? With the results you got, I'm guessing your not because I ran into the same problem and I'm not running the GB leak.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nkd:
I am Trust me. it is the latest leak with android 2.3.4 with htc sense 2.1. I know because I did it this morning. I did it again and Pasted the downloaded htc lockscreen app in the system/app folder and replaced the old one and rebooted and got the AOSP lock screen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jr313:
what u have to do is go back into root explorer go into system, app, tap mount rw on top right hand corner, then press and hold htc lockscreen, permissions, and on user check the read & write boxes, and uncheck all but the read boxes in group and others then reboot and ur good
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nkd:
thanks that worked, but it feels like the resolution doesn't seem to match up with this screen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jr313:
I got mine from the link posted in the op it sends u over the EVO thread scrolled dwn a lil bit and downloaded it, everything seems fine to me..

So I install from new leak and it worked. I wonder what is new beside the silver ring and music widget?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bowtieduece:
Alarm widget also..and when you get a text it will display a huge icon and say who sent you the text.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] toebee76:
Is there any way to edit the text that say's "Pull on the ring to unlock"? I replaced the ring with an Andy and I would like to change the aforementioned text.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuclark:
Following on from my investigations on why the SGS2 takes *so" long to re-establish a WiFi connection, it now seems part of the problem is a major delay in obtaining an IP address.

In another thread (I forget which one) it was suggested that slow WiFi could be caused by a router not being able to cope with 802.11b, g & n traffic at the same time, which got me thinking - what if I disable the n part of the WiFi on the phone to revert it to 802.11g - would this make acquisition time on an older router faster?

So - does anyone know which file / script etc. could be altered to keep WiFi enabled, but ONLY at 802.11g; not utilising 802.11n?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Just a guess, but is likely a build.prop tweak
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DafuDafer:
Is this a frequent problem ? Has never happend here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuclark:
As I've said in my post on the general forum, I get a horrible delay every time I ask the phone to connect WiFi.

I've got the WiFi sleep policy set to "when screen turns off" to save battery power; and using the same router as on my SGS (hell, i can sit the phones next to each other to try this) I get the following:

Waking the SGS up from a sleep results in a delay of 1 or 2 seconds before WiFi connects.

Doing the same with the SGS2 results in a delay of up to 1 minute before WiFi will connect. (sometimes it can be seen to give up trying to acquire an IP address, then try again)

...so yes, may be a router issue, but clearly there's something different between the 2.3.3. on the SGS versus the 2.3.3 on the SGS2 as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimsey:
You could just disable n mode on your router if you think mixed mode is slowing it down. Most new routers will let you choose which wifi modes to broadcast via their web interface. The best option would be to only use n if all your devices support n.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuclark:
Router only supports g. I'm suspecting the phone looks to n first, hence my interest in disabling it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
quick side note, wifi sleep policy set to NEVER saves you much more battery power because when it switches over to 3g, 3g uses way more power than just leaving it on wifi. counter intuitive but true.
